Chapter 244: Selling the Bed
Lu Xue looked at the big bed that Xiaoxing had already packed up and said enviously: "This bed is really good, it is suitable for here." I don't know where Mrs. Liu customized? β
Here it comes! Du Xiaoxi cheered in his heart, and said with an inconspicuous face: "This is the bed that my mother's brother specially made for the child, I think it's good to let my brother make more of them, there are sold at the foot of the mountain, there are many styles, you can go and see it." β
Du Xiaoxi thought about making a high and low bed for his son since he heard about the accommodation conditions of Xishan Academy, thinking that if he took it out and sold it, it should not be bad, so he sent a letter to Du Sige and asked him to take someone to make a high and low bed, and it was ready to be shipped directly to Kyoto by ship.
I've been stockpiling for a few months, just waiting for today's new students to enroll!
The reason why Second Brother Du and Sixth Brother Du didn't come to send their nephews was because they sold beds at the foot of the mountain, if Du Xiaoxi's table was good, it was impossible to say that thousands of stocks could be sold out at once.
Lu Xue heard Du Xiaoxi say this, praised the bed maker's flexible thinking, and instructed the mother-in-law next to her to buy a bed like that at the foot of the mountain.
Du Xiaoxi cleaned up here, and before the Liu family's bed was brought in, the group moved to the courtyard.
The two families were talking, and many people came one after another, Du Xiaoxi also smiled and greeted the familiar ones, and more took the initiative to come over to say hello to Lu Xue.
The other two families in the house also arrived one after the other, and when they saw the little star's bed, they were surprised again and again, and asked the subordinates to hurry up and buy one for the child. At this time, the bed bought by the Liu family also arrived, and many people in the yard saw it and felt good, and they all said that they wanted to change it to this.
Du Xiaoxi stood in the crowd and snickered, the brothers must be crazy!
The other two families in the house are the children of the small commander of the Praetorian Guard, and the other is the eldest grandson of the Chaozhou Mansion Yin. The people in this room are all from the prince's family.
After introducing each other, waiting for the other two to clean up, just as the lunch bell rang in the academy, a group of people tossed and turned in the canteen.
The old lady and the old lady of the Fu Yin family were carried by the sedan chair driver, and the group went down the hill and climbed up the opposite hill.
The cafeteria was very lively, and the elders wanted to feel what the living conditions of the children would be like in the future. Of course, the reason for the excitement is not only the large number of people, but also the poor little ones crying.
In winter, radishes, cabbage, potatoes, and bean sprouts are in the world, and the academy is not bad, and there is a soup made of kelp. Although the chefs of the canteen have made dozens of dishes with limited ingredients after eighteen martial arts, it cannot be denied that they are still radishes, cabbage and potatoes.
The children who can enter the academy have a good family background, and there will be no shortage of fresh vegetables from the greenhouse in winter. Compared with the exquisite dishes at home, the dishes in the academy naturally can't accept it, and many pampered babies have already cried.
The girls went to eat, and Du Xiaoxi took Xiaoxing and followed him to familiarize herself with the process.
After playing a few of Little Star's favorite dishes, the two returned to their seats.
Because of the large number of people from the Liu family, they sat at one table alone, and the other three families sat at two tables.
Du Xiaoxi served vegetables to Xiaoxing as usual, "Remember to be careful of fish bones when eating fish, don't rush to eat slowly, if you are stuck, remember to ask your mother-in-law who is cooking in the canteen for help." β
"Don't just eat meat, eat more greens."
"I'm going to eat an egg every day or two, don't eat the shell."
"Don't eat too much of your favorite food, just eat to your heart's content. If you don't like it, you have to eat some of it, and you can't go hungry. There is food brought to you by your mother in the big cabinet, eat some when you are hungry, and remember to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth when you eat at night. β
β¦β¦
The food is silent, but the sound of children coaxing children in the canteen today is not small. Du Xiaoxi whispered to his son, and no one felt anything. It's just that Wang Zhengyi, who was sitting behind them and listened to Du Xiaoxi's constant instructions on various precautions for eating, pouted and swallowed the meatballs in the bowl in one bite, looked at Huanchang's mother who was eating alone next to him, and muttered in his heart that his roommate was really a mother's treasure!
After eating and drinking, the four families were separated, Du Xiaoxi took Xiaoxing back to the dormitory and took the trouble to tell him that when something happened, he would find his mother-in-law and uncle in the yard, find the master of the mountain, and find the master of joy who was a few mountains away.
It was getting late, and it wasn't long before someone came to inform them that they had to leave.
Xiaoxing stood in front of the mountain gate and hugged Du Xiaoxi and didn't let go, his eyes were red and he almost said that he was going to follow them home.
Uncle Liu sighed and said, "Go back!" The sedan chair carrying the old lady moved and walked out along the stone steps.
Du Xiaoxi saw that no one was paying attention, kissed his son, and coaxed softly: "My mother has asked, you can take a day off for five days of study, and your mother will come to see you then." Remember that whoever comes to pick you up except for the family doesn't have to follow you, you know? Neither can the people in the family! β
Seeing Xiaoxing nodding, Du Xiaoxi touched his head, pulled Liu Yao, who was waiting on the side, and followed the team in front.
"Bear-like!" Liu Zhengyi, who had already been thrown away by his father and mother as a burden, looked at the roommate and his mother next to him sticky, you kiss me, I kiss you, it feels like swallowing a big mouthful of mustard, blowing it can't work! Nope!
The little star didn't pay attention to it, and kept looking up in the direction where his father and mother left, until he couldn't see it anymore, he was dejected, and he looked lonely and pitiful, and the pink little Confucian robe on his body lost its color.
"Hey! Why do you ignore me! Just now, your mother asked you to call me brother! β
Xiaoxing pouted, it's obviously your mother, your memory is so bad at a young age, you melon baby!
"Hey! Feed! You're on the wrong track! The place where we stayed was still in front! Liu Zhengyi watched his roommate climb up a nearby mountain and hurriedly shouted.
The little star continued to stride forward with her head held high.
I didn't make a mistake, I just wanted to stand on a high place and watch my mother and father drift apart. There is no more pitiful baby in the world than mine!
Little Star finally climbed up the mountain, but what he saw was still the road in front of the mountain, and there was no mother and father at all.
"Gone! Let's go! Let's go eat! β
Liu Zhengyi leaned on the fence and yelled twice, urging Xiaoxing to leave quickly.
The two of them climbed into the dining hall out of breath, there were not many people, and there were three or two kittens.
Xiaoxing and the master asked for a small bowl of noodles and took a plate of small pickles to sit back on the seat, Liu Zhengyi quickly came over with a large plate of food, a large bowl of rice, a bowl of braised pork, two lion heads, and two chicken legs.
Liu Zhengyi looked at the noodles in his roommate's bowl and exclaimed, "Why do you eat so little?" You'll have to eat more to be as tall as me! As he spoke, he picked up a chicken leg and threw it into the Little Star bowl.
Xiaoxing thanked him and silently picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.
The noodles are not strong enough, the noodle soup is oily and spicy, the cabbage is too old, and the pickles are so salty, not as delicious as the mother's cooking.
Liu Zhengyi snorted and finished eating, just in time for the little star to finish eating, and the two slowly returned to the living house in the sunset.
The other two were there, curiously exploring their new big bed, and playing with the drawer cabinet on the pull of the switch.
The four of them exchanged names, and after talking about the three generations of ancestors in the family, there was a mother-in-law outside who shouted that the bathhouse was ready, and she wanted to wash up and come out quickly.
Hearing the shouting, the four of them hurriedly jingled the bell to find something, where did they put their underwear and underwear? Where are the clogs thrown? What about bath beans? What about cloth towels?
Thinking about what her mother said, Xiaoxing sorted out the things one by one from the lattice in order, opened the bottom of the stairs and took out the clogs, and took out the rabbit slippers with long ears made by her mother from the upper floor. After preparing all his things, he found his own washbasin and bath tub from under the wall outside the door, put his things in and stood aside and waited for the other three.
"My mother, where did you put your things?" Liu Zhengyi began to toss under the bed, and when he saw that Xiaoxing had already cleaned up, he hurriedly said, "Good brother, come and help me find out which compartment my clogs are in?" There are also bath beans, so if you can't find it, use yours first! β
In the morning, Little Star heard those grandmothers say that according to the layout of his house, he thought that the places where things were placed were similar. Little Star crouched down and pulled open the bottom cabinet to find a new pair of clogs, and rummaged through several boxes in the small drawer next to the large drawer to find the box for bath beans.
In the face of Xiaoxing's super efficiency, Liu Zhengyi praised "Good brother, it's great!" Walk! Let's go take a place! β
Xiaoxing saw that Sun Jian'an and Gao Jinghui had also cleaned up, and the four of them walked towards the bathhouse with a basin.
The bathhouse was a four-room house that was crowded with wooden barrels.
In March, there was still snow in the northland, and thirty wooden barrels were crowded into the houses, and the water was thick with steam, and there was a white mist.
The little star walked in, feeling a little miserable breathing. Liu Zhengyi, who was busy walking inside, glanced at where there was an empty barrel and said, "Let's wait and come again!" β
"Why?" Liu Zhengyi asked dissatisfiedly, but when he saw Xiaoxing walking out, he still raised his heels. Seeing this, Sun Jian'an and Gao Jinghui also followed.
Walking out of the bathhouse, Liu Zhengyi asked dissatisfiedly: "Why are we going to wait a while?" β
Xiaoxing said unhurriedly: "Didn't you feel stuffy in it just now?" There are too many people and they can't breathe well. And my mother said that when many people take a bath, they should wash it later in winter and first in summer. β
The three of them had never heard of this kind of saying, and they all asked, "Why?" β
"Because it's so cold in winter, it's not cold to wait for others to wash us before we go in. It's too hot in the summer, and if I go late, it will be hot! β
oοΌ
The three of them opened their mouths in unison, obviously not expecting to have such a university question after taking a shower.
"Your mother is so smart! But my father and my mother are both washing together, and my mother will definitely be able to think of it if it is in order! Liu Zhengyi raised his chin and said loudly.
Young man, the house has exploded!
Waiting for you to grow up and be sensible in the future, will you come to kill you!
The three of them felt that what Little Star said was right, so they planned to go back to the living house and wait for the others to wash it and come back.
"Who is this? Isn't this the precious egg of the Zhenguo Mansion? How poor you have no place to bathe! Why don't I have someone give you a few seats? β
See! Now facing the four of them is the second young master of the Zhao Guogong Mansion of the third prince of the first grade, and he has only been in school for a day, and he has already shown his temperament of finding fault and finding death. In the next ten years, they will stick to you like mosquitoes, respond to you, and sneak up trying to bite you. So all you need to do is shoot him, boys! Shoot him to death! Bang Bang Bang!
Looking at the dozen or so people walking towards him, Liu Zhengyi snorted disdainfully, "Zhao Shaoqi, I can meet you anywhere, Lao Tzu and you are really unlucky!" After speaking, he ignored Zhao Shaoqi, and walked back with a big basin on his angry face.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Zhao Shaoqi with disdain, and there were four words written in his eyes: Damn, mentally retarded!
Xiaoxing, who was following Liu Zhengyi, couldn't help frowning, his mother said that he would study hard in the academy and make good friends with his roommates, and his mother said that he should be careful of the children of the Zhao family, because someone in his family had done bad things and his father was caught in prison, and his family might be angry with the child. I think this is the child of the Zhao family!
When the four of them returned to the house, it was already dimly lit. Considering that the children were still young, the college forbade them to use candles and kerosene for lighting.
There are many children of the same generation in Beijing, and these children can naturally meet the top palace banquets. The position of the parents determines the position of the juniors, and the parents are hostile, and there are almost no juniors who really become friends. Liu Zhengyi and Zhao Shaoqi, as the same generation, are naturally affected by this, and they tear apart when they meet.
Liu Zhengyi sat on a small stool and scolded Fang Xuan at the three people who were sitting under his bed: "See? That is the turtle grandson of the old Zhao family just now, we are hostile to him, you have to listen to me in the future, I promise that he will not dare to bully you! β
Gao Jinghui had met Liu Zhengyi many times, although he hadn't spoken, the two had the same position, so he nodded directly.
Sun Jian'an is the grandson of Chaozhou Mansion Yin, and has lived by the Nanling Sea since he was a child.
The eldest grandson of the governor of the Great Shang Prefecture is usually going to enter Xishan Academy to study, and they are considered hostages placed by their families in Beijing, but this is also a great opportunity for them in the future.
Sun Jian'an didn't know much about the shape of Jingzhong, and before leaving, his grandfather told him that he only needed to be with the children of the Zhenguo family, study hard, don't stand out, and don't be promising.
Seeing Liu Zhengyi say this, Sun Jian'an naturally nodded yes.
Xiaoxing didn't care who listened to whom, anyway, their enemies were all the Zhao family, and they also nodded.
Seeing that the other three recognized his status as the boss, Liu Zhengyi was very happy, jumped on the stool, pinched his waist and said, "Don't worry, the big brother will definitely cover you in the future!" Whoever bullies you will sue Brother SΓΉ to help you beat people! Don't look at how powerful Zhao Shaoqi is leading a group of people, in fact, he is a soft egg, he has never won a fight, and he will cry and complain. But now it's okay, in the academy, he can go to his brother to complain, he has a brother and I have two cousins, so we are not afraid of him! From today on, I will take you to eat and drink spicy food, and if there is a big brother, there must be a dry mouthful of yours! Our four brothers join forces to fight the invincible opponents all over the world! β
Gao Jinghui tilted his head and questioned: "Why do you eat dry and we drink thin?" β
"Ahh Tongue! Tongue! We all eat the same! β
Sun Jianhui blinked and didn't speak.
Xiaoxing looked out the window and saw that many people had come back with basins and stood up: "Let's take a bath first!" β
Liu Zhengyi hurriedly jumped down from the stool, and the four of them ran out with a basin in their arms.
