Dong Rong couldn't move at all, and she was a little annoyed by the old man in her heart, and she was about to open her mouth to persuade again, but the black boy hugged the old man and shouted wildly. Needless to say, the old man's few shouts just now exhausted his last vitality...

The little girl was trembling with tears all over, and her little head was twisting towards the old man, and her tears crackled down and fell on the bluestone slab, and her mouth whimpered like a little beast.

Dong Rong and Silly Zhu glanced at each other and sighed. Dong Rong stretched out her hand to help the little girl and whispered, "Go, I promise you." ”

The little girl was stunned for a long time, but finally understood, turned around and crawled towards the black boy, and the two of them hugged the old man's corpse and cried in the dark.

Dong Rong smiled bitterly, I don't know if she was explaining to Silly Zhu or persuading herself, "Anyway, there is a lack of laundry clothes and housekeepers at home, this little girl is probably competent, as for her brother... Yamashita Restaurant can also be helped by one more person. ”

Five taels of silver for a coffin plus two sackcloth and three baskets of paper money ingots, the little girl and the black boy wore linen and filial piety to send the old man to the burial, so far there is a new grave in the grove outside Qingxian, lonely in the barren grass.

Fukuko listened quietly to the movement in the carriage while driving the carriage, and was very curious about the two new members of the family.

Dong Rong was more curious than him at this time, she was busy taking care of the old man's funeral, and she didn't look at the two brothers and sisters carefully, but when she finally settled down, she found that the black boy's facial features were very dark, and his eyes were brownish, somewhat similar to those mixed-race children she had seen in her previous life. On the other hand, the little girl looks very delicate, no different from the Daqi people.

"Are you brothers and sisters?" Dong Rong took out a box of snacks from the drawer next to the seat and put it in front of the little girl, and asked in a soft voice as much as possible.

The little girl raised her big wet eyes like a wounded little beast, glanced at Dong Rong timidly, and said in a low voice, "Xie... Master, my brother and I are brother and sister. ”

The black boy had been hanging his head and didn't speak, but at this moment he suddenly retorted, "What master, we don't sell ourselves!" Mother let us go back to the north..."

The little girl was afraid of angering the new master, so she hugged her brother's arm tightly and begged, "Brother, listen to Uber, we have nowhere to go, and Ubo is also dead..."

The black boy obviously loves his sister very much, although he closed his mouth and stopped making noise, but his eyes glared at Dong Rong and his wife with three points of fierceness and seven points of defense.

Dong Rong sighed helplessly, she obviously wanted to buy a diligent and clever little maid to go home, why did she pick up such a pair of weird brothers and sisters? However, things are already like this, and she can't regret it even if she wants to.

"I don't care where you came from, but since you begged me to take you in, and I agreed, let's talk about the future. When I get home in a while, I will ask the steward to write two pieces of deed paper, and you will work in my house in the future, providing food and shelter on weekdays, and the work is not heavy, and there is a monthly salary of 300 yuan. The time limit is five years, and after five years, you can leave or stay at will. However, as long as you are in my house every day, you must abide by the rules for one day, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel to you and leaving you to fend for yourself. ”

The little girl originally thought that she was going to sell herself into slavery, but she didn't want to be a hired laborer, and their brother and sister could return to their own lives after five years. She immediately stopped her tears, pulled the brother to kneel on the carriage board, kowtowed and thanked, "Xie Dongjia took it in, our brothers and sisters will definitely not live up to the kindness of the Dongjia." ”

Dong Rong raised her eyebrows, but she didn't see that this little girl was actually a soft temper on the outside and strong on the inside. However, she didn't say much, and gently leaned on the shoulder of the stupid pillar and half-squinted her eyes to rest. Silly Zhu slumped his shoulders slightly to ensure that his daughter-in-law slept more comfortably, but when he looked up again and swept the black boy's gaze, it contained three points of deterrence and seven points of warning.

The black boy Xu understood that he would have to make a living under the stupid pillar in the future, so he hung his head in silence and faintly protected his sister behind him.

Soon, the carriage was outside the orchard. At this time, the sun has set on the top of the western mountain, the birds have returned to the forest, the visitors have dispersed, and the orchard has gradually restored its tranquility.

Sister-in-law Liu is taking two small servants to count the objects in the lobby, the so-called hundreds of people of all kinds, open the door to welcome guests will meet generous guests, naturally there are also those who lack morality or are accustomed to petty theft. Every day, there will be fewer straw objects or better tea sets in the lobby. Sister-in-law Liu felt dereliction of duty, her eyes were wide and she didn't say anything during the day, and she also added such a good habit of checking after closing the garden.

She saw Dong Rong from a distance and handed over the work to the little servant when she got out of the car, and then greeted her with a smile, "The owner is back, can you have fun going to the city today?" ”

Dong Rong smiled and nodded, "It's okay, how is the business today?" ”

Sister-in-law Liu raised her hand to help the hairpin, and said proudly, "The owner doesn't have to worry, business is good, all the braised vegetables and snacks are sold out." In particular, the seven-color cake was sold out as soon as it came out, and some customers complained about why they didn't make more, and they all wanted to bring some back to their families to taste. ”

As the two spoke, the black boy brother and sister also got out of the car, and the two of them curiously and secretly looked at the houses and people around them, and they didn't dare to take half a step.

"Huh" Sister-in-law Liu looked at them a few times and asked, "This is the little maid bought by the owner?" ”

Dong Rong smiled bitterly and nodded, "Even if it's okay, the two children are quite pitiful." In the future, the boy will stay at the bottom of the mountain to do work, and you will take care of it more on weekdays. The girl asked Wen Niang to take it and stay by my side to serve. ”

Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly nodded in response, and finally enthusiastically called the black boy to him, looked him up and down a few times, and inevitably sighed, "This kid, it's so hot every day, why are you still wearing a padded jacket?" My aunt will change my baby's clothes for you tomorrow, and in a few days I will have new clothes to wear when I make summer clothes in the orchard. ”

The black boy was a little uncomfortable with this sudden "aunt" who was so warm. But he didn't refuse without knowing what to do, but kept looking at his sister, obviously worried that she would not have a good place.

Sister-in-law Liu pulled the black boy's hand, and while half-pushing him into the house, she smiled and persuaded him, "You kid, don't worry, our owner is the most kind-hearted person within a radius of 100 miles, and only the homeless people saved hundreds of people a few years ago, and they won't treat your sister harshly." Besides, you have to go back to the mountain courtyard to sleep at night, so that you can see your sister every day. ”

The black boy was completely relieved when he heard this, and followed her into the back kitchen of the restaurant, and after a while, he held two white-flour steamed buns with a braised chicken feet and two braised eggs, and ate them in a big gulp. It was the best and sweetest meal he had eaten since his hometown went north, and the strange orchard became familiar to him, and maybe it would not be a bad thing to live here for five years...

Dong Rong and his wife took the little girl all the way up the mountain, girls are born to love beautiful things, seeing a tree blooming peach huā, the little girl couldn't help but stretch out her little hand to catch two huā petals that were blown off by the wind, and the cowardice and apprehension on her face also disappeared a lot.

Wen Niang didn't know where to get the news, and was waiting at the door of the hanging huā. The faint sweet smell wafting out of the courtyard made Dong Rong's stomach growl. She handed the little girl to Wen Niang, whispered a few words, and then turned to the ear room.

Sure enough, the freshly baked jam cakes were placed in rows in the baking tray, Chu Silian was busy with an apron, and when she saw that the master was so coveted, she hurriedly picked up a plate and served it.

Dong Rong smiled and took the plate and went back to the room with the stupid pillar, the half-open window blew in the cool evening breeze, the little couple talked and laughed while padding their stomachs, Guoguo smelled the fragrance and ran over with spikes all over her body, from time to time squeaking with her swarthy little nose.

Dong Rong broke the cake into small pieces and put it in front of it, and the family of three feasted happily like this...

Time seemed to run fast like a long leg, and in a blink of an eye it was already the height of summer, and the branches of the peach trees in the orchard were already full of nails-sized peaches, and even the pears and apples were gone. Fortunately, the lotus huā in the pond successfully relayed, and now he is hiding behind the green lotus leaves, occasionally showing his little face shyly to see the excitement, which has aroused the admiration of many people who love huā.

The thirteen grass pavilions on the mountain, except for those who want to ask for a clean house, there are very few people who go again, but the water pavilion on the lotus pond is very scramble. The price of ten taels of silver is not that no one complains about the high price in private, but sitting in the water pavilion surrounded by lotus huā, blowing the moist summer breeze, drinking a few glasses of light wine with a few plates of light side dishes, and then a plate of lotus leaf rice at the end, the whole person seems to be impregnated with a trace of nobility, and as for the copper smell, it is naturally left behind.

Dong Rong felt dizzy when she got up early this morning, she thought about the relationship between Xu and sleeping late last night, so she drank a bowl of lotus leaf porridge for breakfast and lay back on the bed to take a nap.

Zizhu, who was wearing a water-blue dress, quickly withdrew from the dining table, and finally picked up the clothes that the master had changed and put them in the straw basket, and when he wanted to go out, he thought about it and leaned over to the bed and asked in a low voice, "Madam, I called someone to invite the master back, or ask Dr. Feng to come and take a look at you?" ”

Dong Rong closed her eyes and waved her hand, yesterday Old Man Cao got up on a whim to walk around the orchard, but accidentally fell into the lotus pond and poured two mouthfuls of water. She was afraid that the old man would have a bad day, so she tried her best to ask the old man to go up the mountain to rest, but the old man refused to live or die, and as a result, he had a fever when he returned home. She and Silly Zhu accompanied her until the sun went down, and Cao Pozi brought her back to sit in the orchard but left Silly Zhu to stay at home for one night. At this time, it is inappropriate for her to rush back to the village to serve the illness, how can she scare her father-in-law again?

"No need, I'll just take a break, you should be busy."

"Yes, ma'am." Zizhu pushed the green huā teapot filled with warm tea to the side of the small few miles, and said, "Sister-in-law Silian told me to help bake biscuits for a while, and when the time comes, I will bring a plate back to Mrs. ”

"Okay, you can rest assured, I'll just lie down." Dong Rong smiled and took care of the little girl who took care of her as a child, and she was very happy. On that day, she took in Zizhu and his brother Yun Ruiduo out of pity, but she didn't expect that kindness would be rewarded, and both of them were Bao'er.

(There are a lot of people in the family on the weekend, and it will be clean tomorrow, so there must be more code words updated.) Come on, thank you for your support! went to make milk for her son, and her mother cursed...... ）
