Chapter 10: A New Life

Moving to a new house, Luo Qi stood in the empty and dusty new home, his heart was mixed, he stood for a while, and patted his face, "Luo Qi, be happy, you are free!" ”

But the smile that she barely squeezed out quickly collapsed again, she was right, she just wanted to live a normal life, but she still gave up Shiro......

Shaking her head vigorously, driven away by unbearable and guilty, she rolled up her sleeves and let herself forget about cleaning.

The furniture of the old house was wiped over and over again, and finally revealed some of its original color, only the bedding on the bed was stench, thinking of the mother-in-law who died at home, Luo Qi had a chill, and it was dark, cold and hungry, she sat on the burden and curled up in a corner of the house, drowning in the darkness.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door outside, and Luo Qi subconsciously grabbed the wooden stick prepared next to him, "Who?" ”

But it was a small whispered answer, "I, your Aunt He." ”

As if hearing the most beautiful sound in the world, Luo Qi almost rushed to the gate, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw He standing outside the door with a futon and a basket under the moonlight.

"Why do you cry so well, don't cry."

Luo Qi stretched out his hand to touch it, only to find that he was in tears, and he was busy wiping it, but he couldn't wipe it clean, so he had to sobble and let He enter the house.

It was dark in the house, so He had to put everything on the table first, touch it from the bamboo basket, find an old lamp, and light it.

"I heard the commotion last night, alas, but you are also pitiful, and they all say that tigers are poisonous and do not eat children...... However, since ancient times, only unfilial children have no parents who are not, and where do the people of ten miles and eight streets know this, in this way, just spitting stars can drown people, and an unfilial hat is buttoned down, do you still want to get married, you still have the heart to laugh, hurry, eat while it is hot. ”

He has always been gentle and virtuous on weekdays, but tonight there was an unprecedented lot of chatter, but Luo Qi listened to it willingly, drinking hot wild vegetable porridge, and the whole person warmed up from the heart to the outside.

"Oh, these quilts and mattresses can't be used, hurry up and eat, take them out and throw them away after eating, wait a minute, go back home quietly with me, move some dry thatch, and make the bed again."

"Okay."

"Well, I still have some incense paper there, I'll bring some later, burn it and give it away."

"Okay."

"You say you're a kid, it's ...... What do you want me to say......" He Shi turned around and saw Luo Qi smirking with a bowl, the tears on her face were still clearly visible, a little trance, she seemed to have returned to many years ago, and it was very difficult for her to escape from home with her young lady.

"Aunt He?"

"Huh? Oh, you're done? Hehe, it's always easy to get distracted when you're old......"

"What is Aunt He thinking about?"

"I remember that when I was young, I served a young lady who was as beautiful and kind as a fairy in the sky, and she, for the sake of her husband, was also separated from her family, even when she cried, she always smiled on her face, and tried to smile......"

"What happened to the young lady?"

"Later......" He Shi said this, and suddenly a tear flashed in the corner of his eye, and he hurriedly wiped it away, "Old things, talk about these things, what to do, go, take things." ”

Luo Qi didn't ask anymore, and the two quietly went back to the courtyard of the He family, and the lights were on in the Jia family's house next door, and there was a silent scolding of the little cheap hoof, it was useless to raise a child, and so on.

After moving back and forth three times, He lit incense and burned yellow paper in front of the bed, chattering, and led Luo Qi to kowtow three times before they lifted the futon on the bed, and together with the thatch below, carried it out of the yard and threw it into the garbage heap in the well alley.

I was busy until midnight, and finally I made my bed.

"Lock the door at night, put a larger piece of wood on it, put the little door in the house and put it on the bench, and put a bowl of water on the cupboard under the window, and put the stick in the bed, and if you ...... Anyway, if something is wrong, you shout loudly, and one by one in this alley, and they all come out as soon as you shout. ”

Luo Qi was stunned when he heard this, "Thank you, Aunt He......"

She was reluctant to let the He family go, but she also knew that she couldn't leave the He family to live here.

"Oh, I almost forgot, this is the peace charm I asked for in Gyokuro last year, and you put it under your pillow when you sleep."

After sending He away, Luo Qi did not turn off the lights, closed the doors and windows, carried the only ten copper plates left, and lay down in his clothes.

The old jujube trees in the yard were rustling in the wind, as if there were many shadows dangling outside.

Luo Qi was so scared that he didn't dare to sleep, so he covered the quilt and didn't make a sound.

Although the bedding sent by He's is old, it is clean and tidy, and the smell of the sunshine, Luo Qi doesn't know when she fell asleep, and she had a dream in a daze, in the dream she returned to modern times, her mother talked about her younger brother, and her younger brother and sister hugged her dear little nephew and snickered, she was half lying in the big rocking chair on the balcony, covered with a bed of summer cool quilt and basking in the sun, waiting for the chef's father to fry the dishes and eat.

When I woke up the next morning, I had another dream.

Luo Qi took a deep breath in the yard, she didn't have time to look at it yesterday, but today it was quite small, she took a big step to measure the square, the yard was small and not even twenty squares, an old jujube tree accounted for half of the yard, there was an old stove near the tree and there was not even a shed, but there was an old well in the yard, which surprised Luo Qi.

After thinking about it for a long time, she was hungry and remembered that there was nothing to eat at home, so she went to the small market and spent all the money to buy rations, and the vegetables didn't have to think about it, but she bought some cabbage, okra, lettuce and onion and garlic seeds, and asked in detail about the planting steps.

When I got home, I ate first, and after eating, I immediately asked Aunt He about where I could find a carpenter, and invited a carpenter to bargain, cut down the old jujube tree, and built a row of narrow but practical shelves according to Luo Qi's command, and built a stove shed to support it, and covered it with scraps such as waste bark, and fixed it.

The remaining two large boards were carried away by the carpenter at the salary.

Aunt He heard the movement and came to help, without the old jujube tree, the yard looked a lot more spacious, and the house was brighter.

The roots of the jujube tree were burned and planed, and it took five whole days to get it, and Shiro also came to help secretly, leveling and leveling, and was stunned to make two small vegetable fields in the yard, with the stove as the boundary, the north piece was all planted with okra, and the south one was mixed with others.

In the days that followed, Luo Qi's ears were completely restored.

Shilang finally went to school, after school at noon, when Jia was not at home, he would come to Luo Qi to eat dinner, usually she was a vegetable porridge with clear water and no rice, Shilang came, and he baked a cake for him to eat.

Shilang will tell Luo Qi a lot of what he has seen and heard, talk about the old master and talk about dozing off, listen to him talk about which schoolwork was not memorized well and was beaten on the board, whose kid took out a nest of bird eggs, whose kid bullied the neighbor's girl and was beaten by his father for three days without going to the ground, saying a lot of things, all happy and happy things, no one mentioned Jia's.

This person seems to have become a taboo.

It seems that life has been beautiful overnight, and there is no sorrow that needs to be told, and in the end, it is still a life.

Luo Qi's eyebrows fluttered as described by Shilang Jingjing, and he reached out and pinched it, as if he had gained a little weight.

"Oh, why is my sister pinching me~"

"What's wrong with pinching you, it turns out that your kid is still coquettish in my arms, and now I know that I'm ashamed~" It seems that Jia's is not completely dizzy, and he is willing to take care of his only son.

About the time when Jia's family went home, Luo Qi sent Shilang back in advance, and it happened that the Liu butcher's family came back from outside with a drooping face, the nose was not the nose and the eyes were not the eyes, and when he saw the sisters and brothers talking and laughing, he immediately spat on the ground with a mouthful of thick phlegm, "Shameless fox." ”

Holding down Shilang, Luo Qi shook her head as if she didn't hear it, and dared to do something to split the family, she had already thought about the consequences that she needed to bear.

"Sister, she deceives people too much!"

"Foolish people are indescribable, in other words, if a dog bites you, will Juro bite you back?"

"Poof~" Shiro couldn't help but smile, but he still looked at his sister with some concern, "How can a gentleman be the same as a beast, it's just ......"

"I'm fine, you don't have to worry, when you encounter something like today, you remember not to stand up for me, I have my own way."

Juro clenched his small fists and was silent for a long time, then nodded heavily.
