Chapter 46 Houses

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, it was the people of the Liu family and all the relatives and friends in Beijing who gave the old lady Liu a birthday greeting.

Most of the people of the Liu family are still in their hometowns, and there are not many relatives in Beijing. On this day, it is just to eat feasts and listen to operas. When entertaining his own family, there are not so many false rules, even Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu/Grandma, who are in charge, are also very relaxed.

Liu Yubo's family naturally came to congratulate Mrs. Liu on her birthday, and the birthday gift sent by Martha/grandmother was a few kinds of needlework made by her. Martha/Grandma also brought her two older children, both of whom came to kowtow to Mrs. Liu. Subsequently, they were all arranged to go to the table to eat and watch the play.

Liu Yuwen got the instructions of the second master Liu and came early. Liu Ruoxi inquired about Liu Yuwen entering the mansion in the back, so she asked Xiao Tong to go 12 kilometers and brought Liu Yuwen to Mrs. Liu Er's place first.

"You don't have to be with your brother and sister-in-law, follow us later, kowtow to the old lady, and then sit with us." Liu Ruoxi went to the door and personally took Liu Yuwen into the house, and told Liu Yuwen at the same time, "Let's play in the house for a day today, don't rush back." ”

Seeing Liu Yuwen coming, Mrs. Liu was also very happy.

"Have you eaten in the morning, come here today, do you want to do your homework......" Mrs. Liu asked Liu Yuwen to sit beside her, and asked cordially.

"I ate it in the morning, and I ate millet porridge and sauerkraut meat buns, and I was very full." Liu Yuwen answered Mrs. Liu's inquiry very honestly, "I took leave from my husband in school, and my uncle also said hello, so my homework will not be delayed." ”

"That's good." Second Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded.

Liu Yuwen has been studying in Zongxue since he was very motivated. He has excellent qualifications. He is very hard-working, and he is often praised by his husband. Second Master Liu sometimes talks about it. It's all very gratifying.

Second Mrs. Liu saw that Liu Yuwen was wearing a new jacket, which fit very well. So he reached out and pinched the sleeve of his shirt to see the thickness of the jacket and the quality of the needle and thread.

The jacket is very thick, soft to the touch, it is a good cotton, and the needle and thread are also careful. Mrs. Liu nodded, satisfied.

“…… It's the cloth and cotton that my aunt gave me last time, and the jacket that my sister-in-law made was annoying. Liu Yuhuai saw that Second Mrs. Liu was like this, so she told in a hurry.

Since Liu Yuwen was arranged by Liu Er's master to go to school in Zongxue, Liu's second wife was afraid that Liu Yuwen would be wronged at home. Here, rice, noodles, rulers and other things are regularly sent to Liu Yuwen's house. Martha/grandma got the benefits, and she also smiled at Liu Yuwen, and everything was okay.

Liu Yuwen is no longer hungry and cold. However, Martha/Grandma has to take care of a few children and take care of the housework, and Liu Yuwen's needlework is all entrusted to Mama Chang's family to help.

Martha/grandma got the benefit because of Liu Yuwen, although she was pretentious. But I don't really care about Liu Yuwen in my heart, which can be seen from the details. Even if she wanted to do these needles and threads, Mama Chang and the others would not let her do it, for fear that she would be careless. did not do well, and wronged Liu Yuwen.

Now Liu Yuwen only eats breakfast and dinner at home, and lunch is eaten in Zongxue. Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoji often sent people to bring him food. Or simply call to the house for dinner.

Liu Yuwen can be fed and clothed, and has the care of the second master Liu's family. I was able to go back to school as I wished. A child's home is the time to grow up. The current appearance is very different from when Liu Ruoxi first met him.

The sharp chin at the beginning is now a little rounded, and the complexion is healthy.

Liu Ruoxi was on the side, looking at Liu Yuwen, and felt that the spirit of this child's whole person was different. The living conditions are better, and the children who are cared for are even more pleasing to watch. What's more, Liu Yuwen himself has a good foundation.

"Mother, Brother Wen is getting better and better." Liu Ruoji said to Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Yuwen, and the more she looked at it, the more she loved it.

"It's better to lose weight and gain weight. Look at Shiro, that fat guy is what a child should look like. If it's not time to smoke, I'm even thinner. Mrs. Liu said. Since Liu Yuhuai came back, Mrs. Liu sometimes compared him with Liu Yuwen. In such a comparison, I feel more and more pitiful for Liu Yuwen. Thinking so, Mrs. Liu Er instructed Liu Yuwen, "Eat more at home, when you are growing up." If you have anything missing, or what you want to use, just tell me. It's the same with your sister. ”

"There's nothing missing, the aunt and the third sister couldn't be more thoughtful for me." Liu Yuwen said. In order to take care of him, Second Master Liu and Second Mrs. Liu raised his brother and sister-in-law's family, and he kept this intention in his heart.

"Mother, I saw you pick up your father's old clothes that day, and picked out a few pieces, are they for Brother Wen?" Liu Ruoxi reminded Mrs. Liu.

"I almost forgot, thanks to you for reminding me." Second Mrs. Liu said, while instructing Caifeng, "Take out the clothes I found for Second Master Wen that day." ”

Caifeng agreed, went to the back room, and walked out after a while, holding a bag of clothes in his hand.

“…… These were all worn by your uncle when he was young, and there are also eight/ninety percent new, and it is at this time that he wore them. Mrs. Liu opened the bag of clothes and showed it to Liu Yuwen, while picking out a big wool cloak from it and letting Liu Yuwen try it on.

Liu Yuwen got up and tried, and Second Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi both smiled and nodded.

"Just right." Liu Ruoxi said.

"Thanks to the idea of finding out, it will not be a year or two, and I am afraid that Wen'er will not be able to wear it. Wen'er is the fastest at this age. Mrs. Liu said.

Liu Yuwen tried the cloak, then took it off again, carefully held it in his hand, and wanted to put it back in his clothes bag.

"What are you going to do when you put it back," Liu Ruoxi stopped, "It's been cold these days, just wear it, it's warmer than the one you're wearing, and the color is festive." ”

Liu Yuwen touched the cloak in his hand, as if he was a little reluctant to wear it.

"There's still that here, if it's worn out, I'll make you a new one." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.

"It's my uncle who wore it, and it's stronger than new." Liu Yuwen said.

"Don't be so careful, this dress is not made to be worn. Your uncle's garments are kept as well. The right fit for you. That's not better. Just wear it, and there are a lot of that. Mrs. Liu said.

Liu Yuwen put away the cloak at this time.

Mrs. Liu asked Caifeng to wrap up the rest of the clothes.

"I'll send a little guy away. Send Second Master Wen home. Second Mrs. Liu instructed Caifeng.

"Uncle, you don't have to send it home." Liu Yuwen said. "Just put it here at my aunt, when it's time to wear it, I'll get it."

"That's fine." Liu Ruoji agreed for Mrs. Liu.

These days, they sent a lot of things to Liu Yuwen's house, and said that they would give them to Liu Yuwen. However, many of them were forcibly occupied by Martha/grandma, or used them for their own use, or used them as money to show off their dress.

"Something else to eat and wear. I don't care. This one is different. Liu Yuwen lowered his head slightly and said.

"I know, don't worry, it's all here for Uncle. You're going to wear it, remember to ask for it. Mrs. Liu said.

"Mother, I see that there are a lot of empty houses in front of us, why don't we vacate one for Brother Wen, how about it?" Liu Ruoxi proposed to Mrs. Liu, "Brother Wen's family is narrow. There is such a room, and it is good to put some things, except for these clothes, and most importantly, books. ”

"I know. Brother Wen bought a lot of books, didn't he? Liu Ruoxi looked at Liu Yuwen with a smile. The pocket money that Liu Ruoxi and Mrs. Liu gave to Liu Yuwen, Liu Yuwen didn't buy anything else. All bought books.

Liu Yuwen's face was slightly red, but his eyes were shining. Because I heard Liu Ruoxi talk about books, I wanted to put his books in his room. His house is a mess. Martha/Grandma is not a neat and clean person, several children are young, and they accidentally got the books, and many of them tore them.

“…… Sometimes my father asked Brother Wen to come over to teach knowledge, and if it was late, Brother Wen didn't have to go back, so he rested in the house. It's more convenient to have this room. When Liu Ruoxi saw Liu Yuwen like this, she knew that he was also willing, so she continued to say to Mrs. Liu.

"You've got a good idea." When Mrs. Liu heard this, where was there any reason not to agree, she immediately responded. On the other hand, he discussed with Liu Ruoxi which room to give Liu Yuwen a good room.

"There are three rooms under the corridor of the east study in the front yard, one is stacked with things, the other is for the servants to serve tea, and one is empty. I think it's a good one. We just need to send someone to clean it up, put the chuang bedding and the like, and then we can live in it. Liu Ruoxi said.

Liu Ruoxi had already planned this matter in her heart, so as soon as Mrs. Liu asked, she could say that the head was the Tao.

"That's the one." Second Mrs. Liu nodded.

Liu Yuwen listened, busy and happily thanked.

After sitting for a while, Liu Ruoshan came with Liu Yuhuai. Mrs. Liu San was grounded, so she sent the two little ones away and asked them to follow Mrs. Liu and Liu Ruoxi. Mrs. Liu looked at the time, and then led the children to Mrs. Liu's house, and asked Liu Yuwen to kowtow to Mrs. Liu to celebrate her birthday.

"The older this kid gets, the more thoughtful he gets." Mrs. Liu asked Liu Yuwen to get up, looked at it, and said.

"The old lady praised you, and she didn't thank the old lady quickly." Liu Ruoxi said with a smile on the side.

Liu Yuwen blushed when he heard people praise him for his good looks, but he also listened to Liu Ruoxi's words and thanked Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu was very happy, so she asked the little girl to take a purse and reward Liu Yuwen.

"The old lady rewarded it, although then, go back and buy more books." Liu Ruoxi smiled, asked Liu Yuwen to take the purse, and took him to the side to sit.

In the house, Liu Da/Grandma, Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan were all there, as well as three or four relatives of the wives and grandmothers, and Martha/Grandma with two children were also there.

"Sister-in-law, I want to bother you with one thing." Liu Ruoxi whispered to Liu Da/Grandma about arranging a room for Liu Yuwen.

Liu Da/Grandma nodded immediately, but the conversation changed.

“…… It's just that the room that the third sister said, the eldest master said yesterday, has another use. The third sister just leave this matter to me, and I will find another better one. Liu Da/Grandma smiled and said to Liu Ruoxi.

Second Mrs. Liu was next to her, so she nodded in agreement. Liu Ruoxi hurriedly gave Mrs. Liu a look, and Mrs. Liu stopped talking.

"Sister-in-law doesn't need to look for anything else, just this one. Yesterday my father told my uncle, who nodded. I thought that I saw my sister-in-law afterwards, so I ordered. It turns out that this is the same thing, and if you look for it again, it will be a fork. Liu Ruoxi said.

While Liu Ruoxi was talking, she looked at Liu Da/Grandma, and saw a hesitant look on Liu Da/Grandma's face, Liu Ruoxi understood in her heart. What Liu Da/Grandma said, and what Master Liu said for other purposes, are just empty words.
