Chapter 34 Chun Tao's Disappearance
Time passed before people even noticed, and when Chunyu opened the door and saw the snow white in the courtyard, he realized that winter was coming. Yesterday evening, it was just a few snowflakes drifting faintly, but I didn't expect it to fall big at night.
The bamboo forest, which can still be seen faintly outside the wall, is also snow-white, and occasionally one or two thin bamboos are bent over, and even the branches and leaves are placed on the courtyard wall. Chunyu didn't have to push open the door to see, and he knew that it must be snow-white outside the door.
There are already a series of footprints in the yard of Chunyu's house, and it seems that Chunsheng should have gone to school in the town. Her brother is really a hardworking and good student.
It's a pity that she doesn't have the romantic cells to run out and step on the snow and build a snowman or something. Now when the wind blew, the snowflakes drifted on her face and immediately melted and flowed to her neck, and she instantly understood that she shivered greatly.
Chunyu hurriedly closed the door and retracted the hot quilt, closed her eyes and thought, let her be lazy today.
Although her family's small shop is in the town, it has been more than a month, but the business is not deserted at all, and the good taste and low price have played a great role. So after the business in the store was regularized, Chunyu became the shopkeeper. She just needs to visit the store every few days.
Chunyu's eldest aunt and second aunt are all going to help, and they still need to take care of their own affairs, and her sister-in-law Liu Zhi also needs to go back to her home in the village every day. And Chunyu's mother, Yang Yuemei, also went to the store in the morning and went home in the afternoon. Only her second aunt Xiuzhi can work in the store every day, so
Chunyu taught her all the dishes. simply let Xiuzhi become the shopkeeper, and turned the original one cent of her profit into two points, and this Xiuzhi also said not to let Chunyu talk for a long time before she accepted it. At the end of the month, when the accounts were settled, the money was twenty taels after removing the materials, although
The cost of opening a store and renovating the purchase of tables and chairs has not yet returned, but Chunyu is already very happy. If it goes on like this, it's not like the capital before two months will come back. When the spring rain was divided, her eldest aunt, second aunt, and sister-in-law each got one or two, and her grandmother's share was given to her father to let her father go to filial piety.
On the contrary, Xiuzhi transferred her share of the spring rain to one point, and she actually got four taels, which made Xiuzhi surprised, happy and a little embarrassed.
However, Chunyu's eldest aunt Yang Wu, her second aunt Yang Xuemei, and Liu Zhi were also pleasantly surprised, and they were also embarrassed that they didn't make much effort and got so much.
It was also Chunyu who talked to her mother Yang Yuemei for a long time, and everyone put away the embarrassment in their hearts. Chunyu is really drunk, this person is really different, like her third aunt Osmanthus, even if she doesn't have a little strength, she can't wait for twenty taels if you give her ten taels. On the other hand, this is it
A few are really the same as her parents, they are simple and content, which makes Chunyu think that it will be better to take them in the future.
In a daze, I don't know how old it was, Chunyu opened her eyes again, because she heard movement next door, and she was afraid that her father and mother were going to get up.
Chunyu still didn't move in bed, and accidentally fell asleep again. When she woke up, she heard her mother knocking on the door. She quickly got dressed and opened the door.
"Mother......" Chunyu was embarrassed to call, this was the first time she asked her mother to wake her up.
"Mother just thought that today is suitable for sleeping, so let you sleep more. But I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry when I go to bed again, so I'll wake you up. Yang Yuemei said with a smile. It seems that Chun Tao and Chun Yan haven't called yet.
"Mother, I'll go wash up first, and you go and call my sisters." Chunyu said to her mother.
"Well, after washing, go to the stove, it's warm there, let's eat there today." Yang Yuemei said.
"That's fine, it's still freezing people to eat a meal." Chunyu said with a smile and walked outside.
After the spring rain washed up and put breakfast on the small table on the stove, the people in the family came one after another. When everyone washed up and sat down to prepare for dinner, Chunyu realized that there was one less person, not an extra person. Oops, anyway, there is one more person who should have gone to school now
Chunsheng, who is sitting here, is missing a spring peach.
"Dani, why don't you eat it." Seeing that the spring rain didn't move the chopsticks for a long time, he was busy asking.
"Mother, where is Chun Tao?" Chunyu asked.
"Didn't you go to the hut?" Yang Yuemei said that Chun Tao loves to get up early in the morning and go to the thatched house, and she goes for half a day.
"Then Chunsheng went out and came back?" Spring rain asks spring sheng.
"No, I've been at home, and my husband said yesterday that today's heavy snow will let us take a day off." Chunsheng said that although it is good to study hard, but the temperature has plummeted in the past few days, and it snowed again yesterday evening.
"Huh? That's strange, who is that string of footprints about the size of Chunsheng's feet? Could it be a spring peach? Where is she going early in the morning? Chunyu said suspiciously.
Chunyu and her father and mother were busy with the business of the store during this period, but they ignored the three children in the family. Chunsheng still sleeps every day and sleeps hard every day, so don't worry too much, Chunyan is well-behaved and obedient, and she follows her family to the town every day to play by herself, and she won't make trouble. On the other hand, yes
Since Chun Tao and Ma Yanghua played together, the young lady's temper has been good. Once Chunyu said that he wanted her to stop playing with Ma Yanghua, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Chun Tao crackled and said a lot, so that Chunyu had nothing to say.
But it's one thing to feel inappropriate in my heart, but after all, it's my own sister, and what kind of hatred can I have. It seems that I will have to pay more attention to it in the future.
"yes, what did she do when she went out early in the morning?" Yang Yuemei also said strangely.
"Shall I go to the old courtyard to have a look?" Li Dajun said that he had already stood up.
"Dad, don't rush to eat first." Chunyu didn't think there would be anything, so she hurriedly told her father.
"Yes, the town's eldest daughter can still be lost." Yang Yuemei also said.
"Okay, I'll eat first." Li Dajun said, sat on the bench again and snorted and drank noodles.
After eating, Li Dajun hurriedly put on a thick cotton coat and went to the old courtyard.
"Mother, it shouldn't be anything, right?" I don't know why, Chunyu suddenly felt a little uneasy. The snow in the town is big, and the spring peach goes out early in the morning without eating, what kind of emergency can the child's family have.
"What can happen?" Yang Yuemei said with a smile while cleaning up the table, and then she remembered what to ask Chunyu: "I forgot to ask your father to go to town by the way, and send another quilt to your second aunt." ”
"No need, a few days ago, I asked the fourth uncle to bring a bed when I saw that the weather was colder, or this year's new cotton is playing and warm." Chunyu said.
Since her second aunt received the four taels, she has become more and more interested in the store. She also said that it would be troublesome to go home every day, anyway, it was enough to have willow branches and her mother at home, so she asked Li Wujun to rent her a small courtyard in the town, which was not remote and safe from the store. However, there are only two rooms, a stove and a latrine
There are also yes, but the yard is small and there is no well, so you need to go to the well under the big locust tree at the entrance of the street to dig it. Fortunately, Li Wujun's furniture store is only two months away from the Chinese New Year, and the business is very good, so Li Wujun also lives with Xiuzhi from time to time, and it is not a problem to fetch water, and even if he goes home
I'm going to fill that big tank with water.
"That's okay, I didn't agree with your aunt living alone in the town, but fortunately, it's more reassuring to have your fourth uncle go to live in that house occasionally." Yang Yuemei had already washed the dishes when she spoke.
"Mother, haven't you noticed that since the second aunt came to the store to help, the whole person has become much more cheerful, she lives there is not more comfortable than at home." Chunyu sighed and said that this ancient woman had no status, and divorced women had no status. Although there is nothing at home, her second aunt even went to the river to wash
Even if you wear clothes, you can feel the strange gaze of others. I still meet this person and that person every day in the village, and the pressure in my heart must not burst......
"Also, when I first entered the door, Xiuzhi was a hearty girl, but look at it now, hey, ......" Yang Yuemei couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong now, I think it's much better than when I first came back from Liujia Village." Chunyu took a rag and checked the table and said.
"Mother, mother......" At this moment, Chunyan suddenly shouted urgently. As soon as she finished eating, Chunsheng went back to the house to read, and Chunyan also went back to her and Chuntao's house, and recently she was also obsessed with embroidery, and went back to the house as soon as she finished eating.
"What's wrong?" Yang Yuemei asked loudly, wiped her hands with a handkerchief and ran out, and Chunyu immediately followed.
"Mother, the second sister's silk flowers are gone." Chunyan said anxiously.
"It's okay for her to put it away, your kid is worth shouting about." Yang Yuemei said.
"No, mother, look." Chunyu felt that something was not right, and the silk flowers that Chun Tao usually loved her the most were always placed on the bedside table. Now it seems that there are fewer clothes.
"Oh, this, what's going on." Yang Yuemei also saw that there were fewer clothes, so she was a little panicked. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the incident of the spring rain.
"Mother, let's not worry, wait for my father to come back and see if he is in the old courtyard." Chunyu hurriedly comforted and said, in fact, she didn't have a score in her heart.
At this time, even Chunsheng heard the movement and came out, and when he heard that the second sister seemed to be gone, he immediately became anxious.
"Little Baozi, you hurry up and go to the old courtyard to have a look, why didn't our father come back after a long time." Chunyu hurriedly said to Chunsheng.
"Big sister...... Okay, I'll go. "In view of the fact that Chunyu still can't change his mouth, Chunsheng is helpless, but now the situation is not something to care about.
It's just that before Chunsheng walked to the door, he saw Li Dajun who rushed back with a look on his face.
"There is no old courtyard either, and Sister Mo said that Erni has recently gotten close to Yang Hua of Ma Liuye's family, and asked me to take a look." Li Dajun said and took a breath and said, "Then Yang Hua of the Sixth Master of Ma also said that he didn't see it." ”
"Then, will you go to Yangjia Village?" Yang Yuemei said and then shook her head again, just thinking about it, it was impossible, what did Chun Tao do at her grandmother's house for no reason.
