Old lady Yu used this thing before her death, and said that it was given by an old man. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old lady is a doctor, who often goes up the mountain to collect medicine, and carries a gourd of water on his back every time he goes out. Once, he accidentally fell into a col, because of the remote terrain, and injured his leg, he stayed in the black col for three days and three nights, there was no food, it was the water in the gourd that saved his life. So the old lady has been keeping the baby.
This gourd kettle is made of wood, it doesn't look very good, it looks like an old water scoop in an ordinary people's house, and if you look closely, you can find that there are carefully carved patterns on the gourd. Therefore, I can't figure out who is sending the gourd.
Yu Nianniang only looked at this gourd once, and she didn't ask about it after that. Mother Sun didn't know why she suddenly had to bring this gourd kettle.
Mother Sun was very puzzled, Yu Nianniang had already gone to the kitchen. She hurriedly followed, and Linglong had already taken out three pieces of chopsticks and put them on the other side.
"Girl, what are you ......" Mother Sun didn't know what Yu Nianniang meant.
"Carriage...... Many quilts, bumpy cars...... Multi-dressing...... Buy a stove...... Hand stove ...... "Yu Nianniang has insisted on drinking medicine every day for the past two years, and the throat blockage has obviously improved a lot, she can speak now, but she has been silent for many years, so that she has a language barrier, even if she is a normal soul in her heart, but the ontology has degraded in language function, and under her unremitting practice, she can finally say simple words half a year ago."
Therefore, after saying so many words in one breath, she was a little panting and tired.
Mother Sun looked at Yu Nianniang in surprise, and immediately cried with joy: "My girl, you can finally speak." ”
Yu Nianniang looked at Mother Sun with a white face and a smile.
Linglong didn't think it was too surprising, and even took it for granted. The girl in their family is so powerful, she can't speak for more than ten years, and she can suddenly say one or two words, so the day when the export will definitely not be far away.
She pondered Yu Nianniang's meaning in her heart.
“…… Did the girl mean that although the donkey cart was cheap, it was slow, and it would affect the journey in case of rain. Therefore, when the time comes, let's hire a carriage and take two more beds for the quilt, which can not only be cushioned on the carriage, so as not to bump the road, but also cover it at night. My mother and I brought everything we could with our clothes, and we would always use them when we had the chance. As for food, dry food is indispensable, but we can bring a pot and cook something hot once in a while, and warm up. ”
Yu Nianniang nodded with a smile.
is still Linglong's quick thinking and can understand what she means, after all, Mother Sun is older.
"Girl, that's a good idea." Linglong clapped her hands happily: "The carriage must be more comfortable than the donkey cart, and the girl will be able to sleep on the road at that time, and the slave and mother Sun can still rest." But we don't have a carriage, girl, do you think we should buy one or hire one......"
"That's not going to work." Before Linglong finished speaking, she was interrupted by Mother Sun: "Not to mention how much silver it costs to buy a carriage, no one of us will drive the car, and it won't be a waste to hire a chariot when the time comes." Mother Sun looked at Yu Nianniang, and wanted to persuade again, but Yu Nianniang had already said, "Hire." ”
The next day, Mother Sun went out early in the morning, Linglong waited for Yu Nianniang to finish breakfast, and waited for Yu Nianniang to go around the yard a few times, after eating, she picked up a broom to clean up the fallen leaves in the yard, and cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, the four corners of the yard, discarded what should be discarded, useful tidying, and returned to it. Then he took a basin and cleaned the clothes that Yu Nianniang had changed.
After drying, it was almost noon, Linglong entered the side room, and Yu Nianniang was leaning on the couch to read.
"Why hasn't Mother Sun come back yet?" As he spoke, he approached Yu Nianniang again, and Yu Nianniang was still holding the medicine book in her hand.
"Girl, you say, isn't this carriage hard to find? What if there is no carriage? Then don't we just have to take a donkey cart......" Yu Nianniang lowered her head, as if she didn't hear it.
Linglong sighed, walked to the side and sat down on the stool, and said to herself: "I don't know what the girl is doing reading this medicine book all day long, how can she still read it when she is ripe with rolling melons on her back?" Eh, it's good to take a look, isn't this dumb disease cured by this girl? As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Yu Nianniang on the couch and muttered: "Why do I feel that my dumbness is about to recover, why is my ear not good?" ”
After speaking, she thought of Mother Sun's rules, stretched her neck and secretly stuck out her tongue, Hao Ran flashed on her face, and saw that Yu Nianniang didn't hear it at all, so she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
You can only hire a carriage to leave Yizhou, Yizhou is far away from Taiyuan Mansion, if you take a donkey cart, you don't know what year and month you have to go......
Just thinking about it, Mother Sun is back.
Her face was not good, but her eyebrows were more relaxed than yesterday.
"Girl, I've hired the carriage, but this yard is ...... I'm afraid it's not easy to sell. In the end, Mother Sun's voice became quieter and quieter, and she was uneasy that she couldn't even do this little thing.
Yu Nianniang raised her head and looked at Mother Sun.
"Now that the Turks are coming, many families have begun to move to other places, and there are too many empty yards. And those who stayed were thinking about life and death, so no one wanted to buy it after asking many people. However, because we hired Old Man Wang's carriage, he was willing to buy it, but the price was ......."
Old man Wang is the one named Uncle Wang that Yu Nianniang met on the street yesterday.
"How much?" Yu Nianniang said.
"He said that he didn't know whether this yard would be useful or useless after he bought it, and he was only willing to give five taels of silver, and he couldn't add more."
There is such a small courtyard in Yizhou City, or four rooms, and the courtyard is quite wide, and it is not easy to buy ten taels of silver on weekdays.
"How can this old man be so treacherous? Cunning, I still call him Uncle Wang when I see him on weekdays, this is only five taels of silver, isn't it a scolder! I didn't see that he was such a person before, we still hired his carriage, how could he say it......" Before Yu Nianniang could speak, Linglong had already screamed, and she almost scolded Old Man Wang.
Mother Sun opened her mouth when she looked at her delicate eyebrows and angry eyes, but finally closed her mouth.
Yu Nianniang didn't think about how much silver she had to sell this yard, it was already good to be able to sell it. At least for a while. In the afternoon, Yu Nianniang asked Mother Sun to find Old Man Wang.
According to Sun's mother, many people in the city have already left the city, and when they go out of the city at this time, they can just catch up with the large army.
Early the next morning, the three of them got up, and just after breakfast, Old Man Wang came.
Mother Sun helped take two quilts and put them on the carriage, and the quilt that Yu Nianniang used on weekdays was tied up and placed in the carriage to lean on. There are not many things, three burdens, the hand stove Yu Nianniang can hold by herself, and there is a small round pot, which Yu Nianniang asked Sun Mother to buy on purpose.
Old man Wang drove the car, Mother Sun sat outside the car, and Linglong accompanied Yu Nianniang in the car. Fortunately, Old Man Wang's carriage is big enough. He originally made a living from this, and in order to be able to seat a few more people, he invited someone to make the carriage bigger.
So, put the things away, and the two of them sat in it without feeling crowded.
