Chapter Twenty-Six: The Rain Breaks
Haruka sat down on a stool at the door, picked up the wooden hairpin that was thrown on the table, and looked at it.
Zhijin Lou is a small shop, and those who can buy good jewelry will not come here.
Not many people can afford to buy silver jewelry. Gilt silver plating is the most common. It's better to wear it out to save face.
If you don't pay attention to it, just take a chopstick or a small wooden stick and pull your hair away.
Wooden hairpins are beautiful and cheap, and many women will buy them.
The one that has not yet been completed, the hairpin head carving is a magpie, which is cute and cute, and it is very pleasing.
Chunhua played with it for a while and then put it down.
On the counter there is a flat, round wooden barrel with a lot of wooden hairpins inserted into it. Next to it is a rectangular lacquered wooden box with bright red peony flowers painted on it.
The flower was so beautiful, and Chunhua couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The lace was also painted with gold, and the center of the flower was dotted with yellow stamens.
The box was unlocked, and Chunhua opened it and put a slipped of silver jewelry.
Chunhua didn't dare to look at it, and hurriedly closed it.
These pieces of jewelry are not more than a hundred taels. It's really big-hearted, running out of the store before it is closed, and closing a stranger inside.
Seeing that there was a thin layer of ash on the counter, Chunhua looked for a duster and wanted to clean the store properly.
It rained in the middle of the day.
It rained for about an hour before the rain slowly subsided.
Spring flowers' stomachs are hungry and cry out.
Thinking that the rain is light, why don't you go back in the rain?
But no one is looking at this store, what can I do if there is something missing?
I was struggling when I heard hurried footsteps.
Yu Licheng and Erya are here.
"Sister Chunhua." Erya hurriedly ran over, "You're not hungry, are you?" ”
"No, it's only been a long time." Chunhua said, "It's you, why are there water on your sleeves?" It's drenched, you have to go back and change your clothes quickly, or you're going to get sick. ”
Afraid that Erya wouldn't listen, Chunhua added: "When the time comes, it will cost a lot of money to see the doctor." ”
Erya's face had a worried look.
"I'm sorry, Miss Ge...... I was in a hurry and forgot about you in the store. Chunhua saw the self-blame in his eyes.
"It's okay, you're still young."
Chunhua deliberately said this, Aunt Yu said that Yu Licheng hated people saying that he was young and unreliable.
Somehow, Chunhua wanted to play tricks on him.
Seeing that Yu Licheng's face was not good-looking, Chunhua hurriedly changed the topic again: "Aunt Yu is fine, right?" ”
"Dr. Hao said that he was twisted, took the medicinal oil and wiped it, and rested for a few more days." Yu Licheng said.
Chunhua nodded: "It's okay if it's not a big deal." ”
"Then I'll go back first."
"yes, okay."
The rain had stopped, and Chunhua took Erya's hand and went out.
There wasn't much time, so Aunt Cao only made noodles. A special topping is poured on top, which is called a fresh fragrance.
After eating a big bowl, Chunhua was satisfied.
Looking at the empty rice bowl, Chunhua thought of Dongdong.
Chen Suyun first said that Dongdong was at her grandmother's house.
After Rongyifang came back, Chunhua wanted Dongdong to come back to help, but Chen Suyun didn't let her, only said, let Erya come, just help your mother, and subsidize your uncle's house.
Chunhua thought that Erya was also neat and diligent in doing things, so she responded.
I'm afraid I haven't seen Dongdong for more than three months, not to mention it's weird.
Go back and talk to your mother in the evening, let Dongdong come home. Haruka thought.
Chunhua and Erya go home every evening. Hitched a ride on the ox cart of the mountain village.
The driver was an old man, in his fifties, with a strong waist and legs. He and his wife have to come to the county every day to sell mountain goods, and Chunhua talked to them, hitchhiking every morning and evening, two hundred wen a month.
Of course the old man is willing.
However, the village is close to the county. It takes three quarters of an hour to walk from the big mountain village to the small mountain village.
Summer was fine, and when I got home, the sky was still bright. If it's autumn, you will have to spend lamp oil at night.
"Big sister, big sister, today is the fire I lit!" Autumn leaves come running to ask for credit.
Qiuhua also said: "Eldest sister, today is the clothes I washed!" ”
"I wash the dishes!"
"I swept the floor!"
"I wiped the table!"
………………
Before Chunhua could speak, the two quarreled.
"It's hard to be strong, right, no matter how much you shout, you won't have anything to eat!" Chen Suyun scolded.
The autumn leaves and autumn flowers stopped and grimaced at each other.
Chunhua helped Chen Suyun put the food on the table: "Mother, when will the third sister come back." I miss her all the time. ”
"I miss the third sister too." Akiba spoke first.
"Me too! Me too! "Autumn flowers are not far behind.
"I miss the third sister the most!"
"I'm the one who wants the third sister the most!"
It seems that they can quarrel with them about any topic.
Chunhua took the chopsticks and gently hit the heads of the two with the end she was holding: "I don't want to eat anymore, do I?" ”
Autumn leaves and autumn flowers glared at each other and were silent.
"Mother, let the third sister come back." Chunhua said coquettishly.
Chen Suyun stiffened her face: "Your third sister can't come back." ”
Chen Suyun looked at the old woman, who was not affected at all, and ate fragrantly with a rice bowl full of vegetables.
"Mother, you won't want the third sister, right?"
Akiba said suddenly.
"Mother, the third sister treats us well. You don't want her, okay? Qiuhua cried and stopped eating.
"Again, nonsense." Chen Suyun's tone was heavy.
"Hmph, what do you want her to come back for! Light eats, light wastes food! The old woman suddenly put down her chopsticks and said, "What's the trouble with eating!" ”
There was silence at the dinner table, except for the sound of the old woman sucking as she ate.
The old woman's teeth are not very good, and she can't eat hard things.
When the old woman finished eating, Chunhua sent the old woman back to the room.
When Chen Suyun was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Qiu Ye whispered, "Mother, let the third sister come back...... If you really don't want one, you don't want a second sister. Anyway, the second sister is not good to us. ”
"Yes, I don't work yet, I always like to steal food." Autumn Flower continued.
Chen Suyun couldn't cry or laugh: "Why do you two say everything." Go back to sleep. When I'm done washing the dishes, if you're not in bed, I'll let the big wolf take you away!" ”
The two little girls turned white and hurriedly ran back to the house.
Chen Suyun had a sad face.
I shouldn't have told this lie in the first place, and I couldn't hide it for a while.
Chen Suyun thought, or I'll talk to Chunhua about it tomorrow.
If you fall asleep with a heavy heart, you naturally can't sleep well.
"Tuk Tuk" "Tuk Tuk"
Before the rooster could crow, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Suyun yawned, put on his coat and went to open the door.
At the door stood a fat lady dressed in red and green.
"It's Sister Chen." The fat lady smiled and showed her yellow teeth.
"You are?"
"My surname is Zhu. I'm doing something to help people get married, no, I'm here to help your daughter's marriage. The fat lady walked out into the courtyard on her own.
