Chapter 50: Encountering Three Lives (16) Entrustment
It's not coming to us, I can't help but frown secretly, who is that coming for, and what is it for?
The room fell silent for a moment.
After a while, the proprietress boiled the water and came out to make tea. found that the people in the room were sitting quietly, no one spoke, and they were busy easing the atmosphere: "Miss Sansheng has moved to Qinghe Town for so many years, and it is the first time I have seen the girl today. The child always goes to the girl's house on weekdays to disturb him, which is really embarrassing. ”
Sansheng smiled: "It's okay, I like these children, and they are very obedient." ”
The proprietress carefully lifted the lid of the teapot and poured boiling water into it, and the steaming white smoke drifted out in an instant, accompanied by the fragrance of chrysanthemums. The proprietress chuckled and said, "Girl, you think these monkey-like boys are obedient, I think they make a lot of noise, and there is no quiet time when they jump up and down all day long." ”
Sansheng smiled slightly, noncommittal.
The proprietress sat down and coughed uncomfortably. Looking out of the door, he didn't have anything to say, "Oh, the moon is so far away tonight, I just saw it." ”
I couldn't bear to see the proprietress so embarrassed, so I smiled and cooperated: "It's thirteen today, and the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
The proprietress nodded again and again, "Yes, the days go by so fast." ”
I was stunned for a moment, yes, time flies. In the blink of an eye, it has been three or four months since I came to the human world, but I seem to be getting more and more confused, and I don't know why I want to stay in the human world.
At first, I thought I was kicked out because I broke Hujun's glass and blue and white pot, but later Ah Li told me that Hu Jun was not angry because I broke the blue and white cup, and he kicked me out for some other reason. At that time, I didn't take these words to heart, until I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep again, always recalling them in my head, but I couldn't find a reason to convince myself.
What made it even more difficult for me to sleep was endless, and what she said to me was the last thing I wanted to remember, but it was also the last thing I could forget. My gut told me that there must be something she hadn't told me, and I couldn't figure out what it was, so I could only figure it out when I had time.
I fumbled my way to the table as I thought, and suddenly I felt as if my hand had been grabbed.
I raised my eyes to look and found that it was Song Yunjing with an expressionless face. He threw my hand away and moved the teacup in front of my finger a little to the side before giving me a meaningful look.
Beiqi glanced at me and said softly: "I don't know what I'm thinking about again, my thoughts have drifted out for 108,000 miles." ”
I retracted my hand and smiled at Song Yunjing.
It was getting darker and darker outside, and the houses were lighting up their lanterns. From afar, the lights flickered in the dark night, like stars in the sky. It's just that the moonlight is exceptionally bright tonight, and the stars in the sky seem vague and unclear.
Sansheng picked up the teacup, gently blew open the scattered chrysanthemum petals on it, took a sip slightly, and accepted the usual smile on his face: "I took the liberty to come here today and disturb the boss lady." ”
The proprietress smiled and waved her hand: "What's the matter?" I was glad that the girl was willing to come to my house. ”
Sansheng looked at the proprietress intently, and his expression was unprecedentedly heavy: "Don't hide it, boss, Sansheng came today because I want to ask the proprietress for help, I hope the proprietress can agree to me." ”
Are you here to find Boss Chen and his wife? I'm a little surprised, what will Sansheng do that need the help of mortals?
The proprietress was also taken aback, and it took a while to react, after all, it was really surprising that the first time I met someone to ask for help, and the mood would not be very good, which I deeply experienced. Thinking of this, I glanced at Beiqi, and he was a little inexplicably weak by me, so he pretended to look away inadvertently.
The proprietress smiled reluctantly: "Miss Sansheng said that she laughed, I am a woman, what can I do to help the girl?" ”
"Yes." Sansheng replied without hesitation, she put down the teacup in her hand, and said, "The proprietress can help, and the entire Qinghe Town, as long as you are the most suitable." ”
The proprietress hesitated a little: "This ...... Let's talk about it, girl. If you can help, I will do my best, and if I can't help, I hope the girl will not embarrass me. ”
Sansheng looked at the night outside and said softly: "The proprietress has a good heart, and she must know that it is difficult for orphans who are helpless in this world to survive alone, and she must not want to see this kind of scene." ”
I probably knew Sansheng's thoughts, she wanted to entrust Xiaodong to Boss Chen and his wife. But she didn't see the boss's expression that day, and she didn't want to raise Xiaodong at all.
Sansheng continued: "I know that this matter is very troublesome, and it is extremely difficult for the proprietress to do so, and now Sansheng has no other way, so he salivates and asks for help. Please ask the proprietress to help Xiaodong and don't let her be left out. ”
The proprietress changed her face a few times, and finally barely let herself lose her temper, she forced out a smile and said, "Where do you start with this girl, isn't Xiaodong a girl taking care of it?" Where will it be out? ”
Sansheng shook his head: "But I can't continue to take care of her, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have to leave Qinghe Town." ”
The proprietress bowed slightly: "Aren't you coming back?" ”
Sansheng smiled and nodded, "In this life, I will never set foot on this land again." ”
The proprietress was a little angry, she sneered: "Since the girl likes Xiaodong's child so much, why don't you take her with you?" ”
The corner of Sansheng's mouth pulled out a helpless smile: "It's because I like it that I can't take her away." She is still so young, and she has not experienced everything beautiful in the world, how can she leave? ”
The proprietress was choked by Sansheng's words and was speechless. I guess she may not understand what Sansheng's words mean, but this is an excuse for Sansheng to get rid of Xiaodong's oil bottle.
The laughter of Xiaopang and Xiaodong outside has stopped for some time, the voice of the proprietress is very loud, and Xiaodong listens to the conversation between her and Sansheng, right? I'm a little worried, it's not long since Xiaodong's mother-in-law died, and the three lives she promised to take care of her are now entrusting her to others, how sad she should be.
After only a short moment, Xiao Dong's laughter came from outside. I couldn't see her expression, but I could imagine that there must have been a look of loneliness in those big watery eyes.
Boss Chen walked into the house with a plate of peeled lotus seeds, he sat down next to the proprietress and said sincerely: "Miss Sansheng, it's not that our husband and wife are ruthless, you see that our husband and wife's life is not easy, and Xiaopang is still so young, we really don't have extra money to support Miss Xiaodong." ”
Sansheng said: "I have thought about this for a long time, so I will give you the house I live in as a reward for raising Xiaodong." ”
Boss Chen and his wife looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe it.
Apparently they all had in mind the delicate detached two-storey wooden building with a large courtyard inside. In any case, that wooden building was much better than the Chen Ji Inn where they were living now.
Boss Chen asked suspiciously: "Miss Sansheng, that house is worth a lot of money. ”
Sansheng nodded, "I know, so I only have one request, I hope that Boss Chen and the proprietress can treat Xiaodong well." I know that both of them are kind-hearted people, and they are not willing to raise Xiaodong because of life, but this house is enough for you to raise Xiaodong well. ”
Boss Chen sighed: "In this case, Miss Sansheng can rest assured that Xiaodong will be handed over to our husband and wife." We still understand such a simple truth as being soft and eating people with short mouths, and the people in Manqinghe Town will also look at it, and we will definitely not treat Xiaodong's girl harshly. ”
Sansheng smiled: "I am relieved of Boss Chen's reputation." Today I want to bring Xiaodong back first, I have something I want to tell her, and when it comes to the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will send Xiaodong over. ”
Boss Chen nodded lightly: "It's okay, the girl will say goodbye to Xiaodong, doesn't it mean that she won't see each other again in the future?" ”
Sansheng tilted his head slightly to look out of the door, and called softly: "Xiaodong, we are going back, come in and say hello to Boss Chen." ”
Xiao Dong and Xiao Pang each walked in the door with two big lanterns, Xiao Dong handed me one of the lanterns, his eyes were shining: "Sister Dongge, I made this for you on purpose, do you like it?" ”
The lantern was covered with a layer of white paper, on which were painted with red paint clusters of tightly clustered flowers, long stems, and no leaves. I took it gently, pretended to look at it, and smiled with satisfaction: "It's so beautiful, is the Manzhu Sawa on this also painted by Xiao Dong?" ”
Xiao Dong nodded obediently: "I painted it, but I don't paint it." ”
I shook my head again and again: "There's there, Xiaodong's painting is beautiful, it's not like Xiaopang's work, it's too ugly." ”
"Sister Dongge......" Xiao Bian shouted angrily, glaring at me dissatisfied.
Sansheng touched Xiaodong's head: "Come, let's go back first, and wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival night to come to Sister Dongge and play with them, okay?" ”
Xiao Dong handed the other lantern in his hand to Song Yunjing, said goodbye to the people in the room one by one, and then took Sansheng's hand and left.
When their backs disappeared into the night, Xiaopang also handed the lantern in his hand to Beiqi, and glanced at me demonstratively.
Boss Chen and his wife sat silently, not knowing what they were thinking.
Xiaopang shook the boss's arm and asked happily: "Mother, mother, will Xiaodong live with us in the future?" Aren't we a family? ”
The proprietress smiled perfunctorily: "Yes, Xiaodong will be a sister in the future, you have to let her." ”
Xiaopang patted his chest with an oath: "Don't worry, mother, I will not bully Xiaodong." ”
The proprietress patted him on the shoulder: "I don't worry, it's late, hurry up and wash your feet and go to sleep." Tomorrow morning you have to get up late again, be careful that your father whips you. ”
Chubby pouted: "Oh." ”
Boss Chen and his wife looked at us with some embarrassment, probably because they were afraid that we would look down on them because of their behavior just now. But their behavior is actually understandable, everyone's life is not easy, who is desperate to help others? After all, if people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
I yawned, "It's not early, I'm going to wash and sleep, let's all wash and sleep." ”
