CHAPTER XLVI
Grandma Chen didn't say much, and lay down to rest. My granddaughter is also busy and tired today, so let's talk about it tomorrow.
Waiting for the old man to sleep, Tong Yan carried the medicine into the kitchen, re-lit the small earthen stove, put on the clay pot, and began to boil the medicine.
Tong Yan still slept in the hut on one side, although the hut she lived in before was more dilapidated than before, because of this famine, the bedding was damp and smelled musty, she didn't mind, and lay down with her clothes after a little tidying. I'm really tired today, so if you have anything, let's wait until tomorrow.
Before dawn on the second day, Tong Yan woke up and went to another room lightly to look, his grandfather and grandmother were still resting, and he didn't disturb them, and went out to fetch water with a bucket. When half of the water tank was filled, the sky was already bright, and Grandma Chen also got up, and saw Tong Yan struggling to carry water back, so she hurriedly went up to help. Tong Yan tried to pull out a smile and asked the old man to wash up first, and she would do the rest of the housework by herself.
In less than half an hour, Tong Yan heated up the leftover steamed buns from yesterday, mixed them with some pickles, boiled white porridge, and then reheated the medicine that was boiled last night and brought it into the house. Grandma Chen was helping Grandpa Chen, who was lying in bed, to wash up, and when she saw Tong Yan coming in and out of a table, she smiled with relief, turned her head to Grandpa Chen and said, "Old man, Yan'er has grown up and knows how to take care of us." ”
Grandpa Chen's hazy eyes drifted to Tong Yan, yes, his granddaughter didn't grow up, she used to be in the village, if she didn't go up the mountain or into the city, this girl would know that she was playing around in the village all day long, and she was raised like a wild child.
After serving the two old men to take medicine and eat, Tong Yan made the lunch and walked to the east of the city. The people in the village greeted Tong Yan in a friendly manner. There are also people who come up to talk, as soon as I heard that Tong Yan is going to enter the city, I won't say much, there are still more than 20 miles away from the east of the city, if you go slowly, I am afraid that I don't know when I will be able to go back today.
When Tong Yan walked into the city, it was already past noon, and although he was unbearable, he only bought a cake to satisfy his hunger. Tong Yan only had a few taels of silver on her body, which was handed over to her by Shi Tianyu after she was rescued by Shi Tianyu. The little savings he had before had already gone into the robbers' pockets.
Although there was a natural disaster this year, the impact on the east side of the city was not so great, the east side of the city itself is slightly higher than the surrounding area, when the flash flood passed, except for the tears near the edge of the city, there was only some water in other places, and there was no major problem. After the flood, the order of the eastern city was quickly restored, but it was only then that the influx of refugees from outside the city made the city look a lot dilapidated, and now for some reason, the number of refugees has decreased a lot, and it is specially controlled by the government in an area, and the entire eastern city seems to be back to life.
Tong Yan had no interest in shopping, and just wanted to find Su Hao quickly. First, she is grateful for yesterday's events, and secondly, she also wants to ask Su Hao for help to see if she can find a suitable job, now the situation at home is really not optimistic, she must have a lucrative job as soon as possible.
But Su Hao didn't come back to the village yesterday, nor did he tell her where she lived, and he didn't even tell her if he would leave Donglin. Tong Yan's eyes were also black at this time, and he didn't know where to find Su Hao.
Just thinking about it, the signboard of Su's Silk Village jumped into the eyes of Tong Yan. That's right, yesterday's shopkeeper Qiu said that he was the shopkeeper of the Su family's silk village, and he must know how to find Su Hao.
Without saying a word, Tong Yan raised his feet and entered the shop. Xiao Er saw that Tong Yan was covered in soil and mud, and there was a strange smell, and thought that he was a refugee from somewhere, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop Tong Yan, and said to Tong Yan disdainfully: "Eh, where did you come from called Huazi, we are selling satin, not buns, you hurry up and drop, go while you go, don't dirty the eyes of the guests." As he spoke, he dragged Tong Yan out.
Tong Yan slapped Xiao Er's hand: "I'm looking for someone!" ”
"Yo, little girl, are you looking for someone? But Silk Village is not a place to find people, why don't you go to the refugees in Chengxiguan to have a look? Xiao Erpi smiled and continued to push Tong Yan out.
Tong Yan frowned, this is still a dog's eye looking down on people, right? Isn't it that my clothes are a little torn and dirty today, and the smell on my body is focused, and I really treat this girl as a refugee, right? - Well, I think I can be considered a refugee......
Anyway, she is here to find someone today, and she must not be sent away by this little er. Tong Yan pulled up his sleeves with both hands, grabbed Xiao Er's wrist, pulled hard behind him, and let him be flexible, Xiao Er "stool" a few steps, and rushed out of the store.
"Eh, you, you, how can you ......" Xiao Er's face turned red, and he was actually tricked by a little girl.
Tong Yan crossed his hands on his hips and said with a smile: "This girl said, I'm here to find someone, looking for you Qiu shopkeeper!" With that, he grimaced, turned around and continued inside.
"Who? Who's looking for me? The shopkeeper Qiu was greeting the guests in the inner room, and when he heard the movement outside, he walked out, looking unhappy, and he spent money to hire some stupid people, and he couldn't even stop anyone.
Seeing the shopkeeper Qiu come out, Tong Yan's eyes lit up, and he waved to the shopkeeper Qiu and shouted: "Shopkeeper Qiu, it's me, me, Tong Yan." ”
Shopkeeper Qiu looked at the little girl in front of him, a little crying and laughing, hey, aunt and grandmother, why did you find the store. But this Tong Yan came with Er Shao, even if she looks like a beggar now, he can't throw her out. In a hurry, the shopkeeper Qiu greeted him: "Ouch, it's a young girl, forgive me." Why did you come here at this time? As he spoke, he led Tong Yan to the corner.
"Oh, I just wanted to ask where Su Hao is now." Tong Yan smiled and said his purpose straight to the point.
"This ...... Didn't the second young tell you? Shopkeeper Qiu was a little hesitant, the second young man didn't even tell Tong Yan where he lived, how to contact him, he was a little unsure whether to tell Tong Yan or not. What if Ershao deliberately made Tong Yan unable to find him.
"I didn't tell me, I asked him to buy some food yesterday, but I didn't expect him to go back to the village, of course I don't know where he lives." Tong Yan was still smiling, it seemed that the shopkeeper was reluctant to tell her Su Hao's residence, and he didn't know if it was Su Hao's instructions or Qiu's own intentions.
"That's it, Miss Tong, you see, when I came back last night, Er Shao didn't go to the shop......" Meaning, I don't know where he lives.
Tong Yan smiled: "He didn't tell you how to find him?" No, it seems that this shopkeeper Qiu is going to stop talking. Tong Yan secretly moved his wrist.
Shopkeeper Qiu laughed dryly, he was also very entangled, okay, is this to tell or not to tell?
At this moment, Su Hao's voice came from the door: "Tong Yan, you are very smart, you know to come to the shop to find me!" ”
"Su Hao!" Tong Yan happily greeted him, "But he said he didn't know where you were." Good thing you're here. ”
"Second Shao......" Shopkeeper Qiu looked at Su Hao aggrievedly, it's not that he didn't say it, it was that he really didn't know whether he should say it or not, Er Shao's temperament that would be repaid was not easy to offend.
Su Hao glanced at Tong Yan with disgust, separated Tong Yan three feet away with a fan, and then looked at the shopkeeper Qiu: "Okay, okay, hurry up, go find her something to wear and send it to the inn." ”
