Chapter 200 [Living with Yuan Yazhen]
Colorful December Flower God Cup has Yan Wanru collecting for me, I don't need to worry about it for the time being, think about it, there is nothing worth me picking up recently, I have nothing to do, I don't plan to go to school, I ran to the first Caibai gold near Guang'anmen. Not only gold jewellery is sold here, but there are also clothing on the third floor. After walking around the children's clothing area for a long time, I bought two sets of children's clothes, a pair of children's shoes, and a hat, and then settled the bill with the counter and walked out of the mall.
I haven't been in touch with Yuan Yazhen and Xiaolong for more than half a month, so I miss them.
Niu Street, the bungalow area diagonally opposite Xuanwu Hospital.
It was just a quarter past three in the afternoon, and I estimated that Yuan Yazhen didn't get off work, so I didn't go to her house, but advanced the bungalow I bought at the beginning. Yan Wanru's friend hasn't planned to sell it yet, so the house is for me for the time being. As soon as I entered the room, I was surprised to find that there was no trace of dust in the room, and the top of the table and chair was like reflective glass, which was very clean. Before leaving, I gave Yuan Yazhen the spare key to the door of the house, thinking that she would help me clean up when I left.
Putting the laptop away, I leaned on the east wall and listened to it - hey, Yuan Yazhen seems to have someone in her house.
So, I took a few large bags of clothes, opened the door and went out of the house, knock on her door.
"Who?" The door didn't open, and the curtain behind it was gently opened, revealing Yuan Yazhen's mature and beautiful face, "...... Pacify? β
I smiled slightly: "Sister, I'm really sorry, I was so busy a while ago that I didn't even bother to make a phone call, I'm going to see you today." β
She was wearing an ICBC uniform, with hair, a shirt, a vest, trousers, and high heels, and she was very smart. I haven't seen it for a long time, and I found that the charm of a mature woman in Yuan Yazhen's bones is getting stronger and stronger, this kind of taste is a thing that naturally integrates into a woman's face and temperament as she grows older, it is very beautiful, and it cannot be imitated by makeup. Yuan Yazhen still had the same unsmiling attitude, mumbled, opened the door for me, and walked in holding my arm. She seems to be a little lukewarm, but I know that she has this kind of surname, and the intimate gesture of holding hands with me can see that Yuan Yazhen welcomes me.
The little dragon slept on a small bed in the outhouse, his eyes closed quietly.
I subconsciously lightened my pace, went to the back room with Sister Yuan, and slowly closed the door, "Sister, why didn't you go to work?" β
Yuan Yazhen let me sit down on a chair, and said while making tea: "In the morning, the head teacher of Xiaolong called me and said that he had a stomachache, so I asked for leave and took him to the hospital. β
I was worried, "What did the doctor say?" β
"I just did a gastroscopy in September, but I didn't do it this time, and the doctor said it might be a stomach ulcer and prescribed some Western medicine." Putting the teacup in front of me, Yuan Yazhen sat down on the chair, with a slightly tired and haggard color in her eyes, "I took the medicine at noon, Xiaolong said that it was much better, so I went to sleep under the covers." β
I looked at her with concern: "Sister, you haven't rested all these days, right?" Don't exhaust yourself, when you need someone, you just call me, what's polite to me? I looked sideways at the stock K-line chart on the computer monitor, I hesitated, took out my wallet and took out all the 3,000 yuan in it, "Xiaolong has been in poor health, and your family owes a lot of debts outside, I know you are short of money, you ...... this money"
Yuan Yazhen resolutely interrupted: "You have already helped my family too much last time, no." β
I said, "I'm your younger brother and Uncle Xiaolong, so I'm not helping your family, I'm helping our family, why do my family say that?" I couldn't help but stuff the money into her hand, touching those slender fingers, my heart was hot, and I hurriedly pulled my hand back, and said: "Xiaolong has to see a doctor, and the family has to pay off debts, which is not the place to use money?" β
Yuan Yazhen sighed heavily and held the money in her hand, "The landlord may be coming in the evening, and he has been owed several months of rent, so ...... Sister won't be polite to you. β
I groaned, "Not enough, right?" I'll go get some more. β
Yuan Yazhen grabbed my arm and didn't let me go, "That's enough, no, sister will borrow it from you." β
I sat back with a wry smile and said, "It's not about borrowing, you can talk when you need money, don't see your brother." β
Yuan Yazhen smiled lightly, "...... Let's have dinner with my family in the evening, I haven't been here for a long time, Xiaolong often whispers to me in my ear, well, what do you want to eat? β
I pondered for a moment and touched my nose embarrassedly: "I want to eat the braised pork you made, and I have been thinking about it once that time." "Yuan Yazhen's cooking skills are the best I have ever seen, I don't know how many times stronger than my mother, especially the braised pork, which I will never forget.
As he was talking, the door of the inner room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, "Auntie, I'm thirsty." β
Xiaolong's figure appeared at the door, and when he saw me, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle! "Peddle, trot to me.
I rubbed his little head melon seeds dotingly, and said with a smile: "Really good, does your stomach still hurt?" β
"It doesn't hurt anymore." Xiaolong shook his head, staring at me with big eyes flickering: "Uncle, why haven't you come to see me and my aunt for so long?" β
I apologized: "Uncle has been a little busy lately and hasn't had time to spare. β
Xiaolongyan said, "Then you can't leave?" β
The look of anticipation really made me unable to refuse, I hesitated, and said, "Don't go, stay here this week, and accompany our little dragon well." β
Xiaolong immediately cheered.
"Come, Uncle bought you a few clothes, you try to see if it fits." I grabbed a couple of big bags.
Yuan Yazhen glanced at me complainingly: "Come on, what else to buy?" β
I smiled: "I don't have much money, eh, Xiaolong, what are you doing in a daze?" β
Xiaolong looked at Yuan Yazhen very obediently: "Auntie, can I try?" β
Yuan Yazhen looked at me and snorted: "Don't thank you uncle?" β
"Thank you, uncle." Xiaolong took Yuan Yazhen's hand, jumped up, sat on her lap, and happily grabbed a hat and put it on her head. Yuan Yazhen put her arms around him with one hand, sorted out the brim of his hat with the other, and then unpacked several other clothes one by one and dressed them for Xiaolong.
I asked, "Do you like it?" β
The little dragon in the new clothes was very happy and nodded vigorously: "I like it!" Now my classmates will never say that my clothes are torn. "Because of the poverty of his family, most of Xiaolong's previous clothes were washed and couldn't be used, and he was probably ostracized by people in the small circle of the school.
I looked at Yuan Yazhen, who looked guilty, and I didn't feel good in my heart, "Xiaolong, if your classmates have anything in the future, my uncle will buy you something, mp4?" Cell phone? pspοΌ ndslοΌ You can talk about what you want, we must not be inferior to them, I see who will dare to say that your clothes are torn in the future! β
Yuan Yazhen glanced at me: "Don't be like this, you will spoil him again." β
I smiled and touched Xiaolong's head: "It's okay, Xiaolong is such a sensible child, he can't be bad." Thinking of something, I suddenly said: "By the way, sister, I forgot to tell you, I got married last week, uh, I didn't mean to hide it from you, we got the certificate, but we didn't have a wedding, except for a few friends, I haven't told anyone yet." β
Yuan Yazhen was stunned for a moment, "Married?" β
"Well, it's not me bragging, your brother and sister are beautiful." Every time I talk about this, I talk more, with a satisfied smile on my face: "And people are smart and capable, cough cough, although no one is perfect, but I think she is infinitely close to the perfect kind of woman, another day, another day I will bring you to meet." β
"It's a happy event." Yuan Yazhen glanced at the freezer, put Xiaolong off her lap, got up and said, "Then shall I go buy some food and drink again?" β
"Don't be so troublesome, I have a braised pork to eat, and it's so beautiful."
Don't look at Yuan Yazhen's usual hard poker face, as if she is a leader in a high position, but she really doesn't have the skill of cooking. In the evening, needless to say, I ate more than a dozen pieces of fat and lean meat wrapped in sugar, and even an ordinary scrambled egg with tomatoes made me feel more and more hungry the more I ate, and I couldn't wait to pick up the plate and drink all the vegetable soup.
"Whew, I'm full." Putting down the chopsticks, I patted my belly and burped.
Yuan Yazhen said: "Eat more?" β
"Don't, if you eat it again, you'll die." I was full of praise and said, "I swear, this is the best meal I've ever had in my life." β
Xiaolong jumped down from his chair to wash his hands, "...... I'm full too. β
Yuan Yazhen turned her face and shouted, "Come back!" Your uncle hasn't left the table yet! What do you go first? Don't you know the most basic politeness? How do I usually teach you? β
Xiaolong hung his head miserably and sat back down: "I'm sorry aunt, I forgot." β
I was speechless and said, "Sister, as I said last time, you are too harsh on Xiaolong, he is only eight years old." β
Yuan Yazhen shook her head and said nothing, grabbed a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth for me, and then took out a new one to wipe Xiaolong's mouth. After cleaning up the table, she ordered Xiaolong to do her homework, and she turned on the TV to watch the stock market analysis with me, and learned from the chat that she seemed to have bought another stock, but she was trapped, so she couldn't get spare money. I don't know anything about stocks, so I was bored after watching it for a while, so I said goodbye and prepared to go back to the house to surf the Internet.
Before leaving, Yuan Yazhen pointed to the east and instructed: "The new one at the entrance of the courtyard is from out of town, you lock the door when you sleep at night." "Sister Yuan is a bit sophisticated and xenophobic.
I smiled helplessly, said a statement, turned around and went back to the house, turned on the computer and went online for a walk.
Ringing ring, Yan Wanru's name lit up on the mobile phone screen.
ββ¦β¦ Hey, Sister Yan? β
"Jing, I have good news for you, although I can't say anything about the old friend who has collected all the eleven cups, I finally got two cups from other places except the Yueji Flower Cup, but there is still no news about the most difficult Yueji Flower Cup, anyway, I think there is no hope at all, you can do it yourself."
"So fast? Only a few hours? β
"Hehe, it's not good to hurry up, the cup is already in my hand, when are you going to get it?"
I thought about it for a moment, "Why don't I put it there first, and I'll get it in a few days, by the way, how much is it?" β
"You don't care."
"Then what's going on, say it quickly, otherwise I'll call 500,000 directly, you sent me money last time you sent me pure-bloodstone, I know your account."
"Where did you use 500,000? That's the price of the auction. β
"Gee, how much is that?"
"I don't have much money, so let's just think of it as a wedding gift I prepared for you, that's it, hang the line."
Seeing that the other end hung up the phone, I squeezed out a bitter smile at the ceiling, knowing that she wanted to return the love I had saved her last time, but I took my surname, naturally I couldn't ask for Yan Wanru's things in vain, since she refused to say, I could only guess by myself, opened the online banking interface, clicked on the keyboard and thought for a moment, clicked, quickly entered a few lines of numbers, and sent 450,000 to Yan Wanru's account.
At this point, I still have a balance of 650,000 left in my card, and I have collected eleven of the Colorful December Flower God Cup, only the last Moon Flower Cup.
Alas, the moon flowers, the moon flowers, where are you hiding?
Sitting in front of the computer, I added a few antique collection groups on QQ, looking for news.
After tossing for an hour, I found nothing, and no one had ever seen the shadow of the mysterious moon flower cup.
"Didn't I give you money?"
"Do your own calculations for how long you've been delaying?"
Suddenly, there was a quarrel from Yuan Yazhen's house, as well as Xiaolong's whining cry.
Although I didn't understand what was going on, I came up in a hurry, pushed the door and went out, turned a corner, pulled the door and entered Sister Yuan's house, "...... Sister, what's wrong? β
There was a middle-aged man in the outhouse that I hadn't seen before, and he frowned and said to Yuan Yazhen: "Our rent has also been cleared, you and your children can move out today, I have already rented the house to someone else." It seems that he is the landlord in Yuan Yazhen's mouth.
I put my arms around the crying dragon, patted him on the back and said, "What do you mean?" β
The man looked at me: "I don't rent the house anymore, how can there be such a thing as her, if it is delayed, it will not be given for several months, if I rent it back to her, won't I have to come to collect the debt every day in the future?" Come on, I don't have that time, hurry up, the tenants will move in tomorrow, move things, don't move my original furniture, just this bed in the outhouse is newly bought by you, you can take it. β
Yuan Yazhen said with a stiff face: "If you say that you will bomb people, you won't even say hello, at night, where are you letting us go?" β
The middle-aged man hugged his shoulders and stood there: "You broke the rules first, what did you say before renting your room?" The rent is paid a month in advance, but what about you? It's been four months since I paid off my last rent! β
I said with a calm face, "Be quiet! Look at the kids scared! β
The middle-aged man spread his hands: "I can't help it, my wife has been talking to me about the rent all day long in the past few months, and I'm also annoyed, now it's due, you two move out quickly, I thank you, okay?" β
Yuan Yazhen wrinkled her brows and said, "It's dark, where can I find a room?" β
After negotiating for a while, there was still no result, and at the end, I looked at them: "Sister, in this way, you and Xiaolong go to live with me." β
Yuan Yazhen looked at me: "What about you?" β
"My house is the front door, and I don't live here often." I shrugged my shoulders: "Moreover, this house is not mine, it has already been bought, as long as that person does not sell the house, you and Xiaolong will live in a down-to-earth manner, he does not charge us rent, and you have one less burden, killing two birds with one stone." The more I thought about it, the more I reasoned, "Okay sister, you just listen to me, move things." β
Yuan Yazhen sighed: "Alas, I'm bothering you again." β
"It's all a family, what's the trouble?" I picked up the rice cooker under my feet and hugged it in my arms, "I'll come with heavy things, you just hold the quilt and mattress, be careful, don't flash your waist." "Except for the big bed in the back room and the wardrobe desk, most of the other objects are Yuan Yazhen's own, so the workload is huge.
When I moved all the furniture and electrical appliances to my house, I looked at my watch, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.
The layout here is slightly different from Sister Yuan's house, there is hardly much space in the outhouse, and you can only put down household appliances such as refrigerators and microwave ovens, so Xiaolong's small bed can only be placed in the inner room, and the big bed is side by side, and the extra tables and chairs are also piled up in the big house, and I will tidy it up tomorrow when I have time.
I was so tired that my legs were weak, I gasped, turned on the TV and tried to connect it steadily, and when the picture came out, I opened the refrigerator again to see if the lights were on, and after doing this, I wiped my sweat and said: "Sister, Xiaolong will go to school tomorrow, you guys go to bed early, I'm leaving." β
Yuan Yazhen, who was laying a futon on the bed, turned her head: "It's so late, where are you going?" β
"I don't think I have a car back to school, well, by the way, I'll find a hotel outside."
"How's that going to work?" Yuan Yazhen spread the pillow flat and patted it, "You gave up your home to our mother, but you ran out to live in a hotel?" How can this be true? There are beds and quilts here, so you can live together. β
I sweated a little, "...... Farewell, farewell. β
"I sleep in a big bed with Xiaolong, and you sleep in a small bed."
"Uh, it's not appropriate." She is a woman's family, and there are always inconveniences, and I believe that Sister Yuan can understand my meaning of "inappropriate".
Yuan Yazhen said in an involuntary tone: "Wash and sleep, I say it's appropriate." β
I hesitated for a long time, didn't pretend anymore, and nodded slowly: "That...... All right. β
Uh, does this count as cohabitation?
Ringing, her phone rang.
Yuan Yazhen sat down on the freshly laid sheets, took out her mobile phone and put it to her ear: "...... Hey, Dad...... Well, I'm getting ready for bed...... The rent was paid, and the money my brother gave was the neighbor I told you...... I know, I've thanked him, but the landlord said that he wouldn't rent it, and I moved my brother here with Xiaolong...... Okay, let's not talk about this for now, how much did our old house sell...... Only 1.3 million? How much is there to pay off...... So much worse? What to do...... He said how many more days he could forgive...... Alas, I have no choice at all, and I still owe a lot of money to my colleague...... And Xiaolong's illness needs money...... Why don't you and my mom find a way again...... My brother? Yuan Yazhen glanced at me.
I pretended not to hear and moved the table from the room to the corner.
I only heard Yuan Yazhen lower her voice and said, "He has already helped us a lot, and he doesn't have that much money." β
