Chapter 17: Memories
Bidding farewell to Chen's mother and daughter, Xia Mei pulled Tang Bao and took Wen Xi into the house, Wen Xi curiously followed Xia Mei behind her back to look at the things in the room.
At first glance, the little girl Wenxi's heart only felt bitter......
Before the death of her parents, Wen Xi's life was still very good, there were only her brother and her at home, everyone spoiled her on weekdays, and she had any good things, although her family background was average, but her life was very happy.
Who would have thought that my father and my second uncle went out to do business, but they never came back...... The second uncle said that they had encountered bandits...... Daddy left him and ran away only to be caught and killed by bandits, while the second uncle himself escaped by exchanging his life with the silver taels he was doing business......
Wen Xi's family didn't believe it, his mother was heartbroken and fell ill, and his brother was full of anger and wanted to find the second uncle, but he was stopped by his mother and asked his brother to pack up his things and take Wen Xi to escape, of course they would not leave their mother and did not want to leave.
On the second day, I went into Wenxi's mother's room to deliver medicine, and when I opened the door, I saw my mother's back and the white silk hanging high......
The medicine bowl fell to the ground with a "snap......
"Ah!! Mother!!! β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Later, the elder brother was reluctant to take her to the second uncle's house, the eldest uncle had died a few years earlier, and the eldest aunt took the eldest cousin to remarry, so naturally he couldn't take them in, so the elder brother ran away with money and goods at night with the five-year-old her......
On the way, the elder brother hid his belongings in a dilapidated temple and disguised himself as a beggar, otherwise it would be too dangerous for the two children to carry money.
My brother took her to Luoxia City, and then went to a big family to work as a small maid to support my brother and sister.
Before leaving, the housekeeper said to invite them to eat the last meal, and his brother thought about bringing her to have a good meal, but who expected, the meal was drugged, and the housekeeper sold them to traffickers, and even she was not spared......
Wen Xi looked at the house in front of him, although it was far inferior to his previous house, it was neat and clean, the clothes of the mother and son hanging in the yard, and the daily items placed on the table at random......
The smell of home made Wen Xi's eyes red instantly......
Xia Mei put Tang Bao on the kang, and when she turned her head, she saw Wen Xi with her little head down, full of sadness......
A trace of doubt flashed in Xia Mei's eyes, and she hurriedly stepped forward to take Wen Xi's hand and said softly: "Wen Xi, don't be afraid, although our family's conditions are not good now, as long as we work hard, we will get better soon!" Believe in Master, okay? β
Wen Xi raised his little face, and looked at Xia Mei with red eyes moving: "Master! Wen Xi will definitely work hard to let you and Brother Tang Bao live a good life! β
The corners of Xia Mei's mouth twitched, and there was a smile in her eyes, "Okay~ Then the master is waiting for Wen Xi!" β
Xia Mei appeased Wen Xi, and let Wen Xi take Tang Bao to play, and she put the things in the house and picked them up, and tomorrow Chen Da Niu came to repair the roof, and the things in the house could not fall into ashes.
Soon the sky was getting dark, Xia Mei began to cook dinner with her hands and feet, Wen Xi consciously sat in front of the stove and lit the fire, while watching Xia Mei cook.
Xia Mei steamed the rice first, naturally it was rice, and she steamed a lot, so I was afraid that Wen Xi would not have enough to eat.
Then Xia Mei scooped the hot water in the pot, soaked a handful of dried fungus, sliced the pork leftover from the previous purchase, put the lard in the hot pot to melt, and then added ginger and garlic foam to stir up the fragrance, and then put in the meat slices, after changing color, pour in the cut fungus, stir-fry a few times and put it out of the pot, the black and bright fungus is matched with the tender meat slices, and the fragrance is tempting people's index fingers.
After cooking a green vegetable soup and steaming a big bowl of steamed eggs, Wen Xi was beckoned to turn off the fire, and the three of them sat on the kang and ate dinner warmly.
Wen Xi also ate fungus for the first time, and was very surprised, Xia Mei also explained that it was her own talent father who told sΓΉ herself, Wen Xi only thought it was delicious, and she didn't ask much about her child's heart.
Tang Bao only thinks that the new sister in the family is very good-looking, and there is no girl in the village who can compare, of course, it is still worse than his own mother, and her face is always red, which is very moving.
So Tang Bao happily accepted the fact that there was an extra little sister in the family, well, children, are always rare and beautiful things, no matter people or things.
Xia Mei didn't know anything about his careful thoughts, but she was just pleased that Tang Bao and Wen Xi were getting along very well, and she also had some grievances, this kid abandoned his mother so lightly and played with other girls......
At night, the three of them slept on the same and only kang in the house, and counted the stars together......
On the second day, Xia Mei took Tang Bao with her, went to the town with Wen Xi, and clapped Tang Bao happily.
Before leaving, he handed over the key to the courtyard door to Chen, and the key to the door was carried by himself, not to prevent anything, but if it was really given to Chen, in case there was an accident, it would hurt his feelings.
Chen naturally understood this truth, Xia Mei did not give her the key to the house, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the situation is special, and it is rare to repair the roof for people, but the owner is not at home.
is also helpless, who let Xia Mei have no man in this family.
Xia Mei couldn't help it, thanked her a thousand thanks, and repeatedly promised that they would never excuse anything in the future, so she took her two children and left in the car.
At noon, Chen Daniu rushed back from the town, yesterday he sold mushrooms and stayed in the shop in the town, and today he was free, so he hurried back.
Six taels of silver! He can't wait to share the good news with his family.
Before coming back, he thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and spent three hundred yuan to buy half a pale red muslin embroidered with broken flowers, and then excitedly walked home with the cloth.
After more than an hour, Chen Daniu arrived in the village, and the people working in the village were going home to finish eating, and happened to meet the happy Chen Daniu, Wang Tiezhu quipped: "Yo! Chen Daniu, are you buying cloth for your daughter-in-law to make clothes? Look at this color, are you your daughter-in-law or a big girl? Yes? After saying that, he laughed first.
Chen Da Niu spat him, "Phew! Your mother-in-law can't wear such a beautiful color! Less jealous of me! After Chen Daniu finished speaking, he glanced at him proudly, and swaggered away, leaving the laughing men behind him to make fun of Wang Tiezhu.
Chen Daniu returned home in high spirits, and saw that his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were still eating, so he invited him to take out the cloth, "Daughter-in-law, look, this is the cloth I bought for you two mothers, see if you like it?" After speaking, he scratched his head a little embarrassed.
