Chapter 85: Placement (2)
Li Ziyu made millet porridge for dinner and made a vinegared cabbage heart, which was an appetizer.
Because of Li Luo's injury, it is not suitable to eat meaty things at present. Therefore, Li Ziyu did not make meat dishes.
Dinner was divided into two tables, Xiaoshan on the square table under the kang took a few younger siblings to a table, and Li Ziyu and Xiaoou on the kang table on the kang had a table, and Li Luo was fed by the way.
Li Ziyu fed Li Luo a bowl of millet porridge, Li Luo had been on an empty stomach for too long, and it was not suitable to eat too much.
After the meal, Li Ziyu introduced several younger siblings to Li Luo's mother and daughter: "Aunt Li Luo, Sister Xiaoou, this is my second brother Li Zishan!" ”
Xiaoshan and his younger siblings stood side by side in the middle of the house, their eyes more or less curious and scrutinizing.
At this time, hearing what Li Ziyu said, Xiaoshan took a step forward and shouted politely: "Aunt Li Luo! Sister Ou! ”
Xiaoshan saw that the two mothers and daughters were injured, and thought that her sister had moved her compassion to rescue the person back home, and when she recovered from her injuries in the future, she was designated to leave, so she didn't think much about it.
"This is my third brother Li Ziwen!"
"I've seen Aunt Li Luo, Sister Xiaoou!"
Xiaowen put away the inquiry in his eyes and said politely. Although he didn't agree with the two mothers and daughters that his sister brought home, he knew that his sister must have her considerations, and he believed in his sister's vision.
"This is my fourth brother Li Ziwu!"
"Aunt Li Luo is good! Hello Sister Ou! ”
Xiao Wu did not reject the new members much, he believed in the principle of sister first, as long as his sister did it, he would follow it unconditionally.
"This is my fifth brother Li Zihu and sixth sister Li Zilan, and the two of them are twins."
"I've seen my aunt, I've seen my sister!"
Xiaohu and Xiaolan are full of curiosity and freshness about their new aunt and sister.
For as long as they can remember, the two of them have been locked up in their small courtyard, with little contact with outsiders. It's to go up the mountain to exercise, and it's also in front of my sister.
Suddenly, there were two new members in the family, which made them feel more excited and fresh. Therefore, in terms of attitude, he is much more affectionate.
Li Luo looked at Li Ziyu's younger siblings under the kang in the dim light, watched them greet their mother and daughter politely, and sighed in her heart that Li Ziyu's education was so good.
Although their eyebrows and eyes are not clear in the dim light at night, their behavior when speaking reflects a person's cultivation and conduct.
If these children are taught well, they will definitely be successful in the future.
It's a pity that as a slave, it's not good to interfere too much. Alas, let's see later, maybe one day I will be willing to teach each other.
At this moment, Xiao Ou stepped down from the kang, made a half-squat salute to the sisters and brothers, and said respectfully: "The slave Li Xiaoou has seen the eldest lady!" Second young master! Third Young Master! Fourth Young Master! Fifth Young Master! Miss Six! ”
After speaking, he squatted there and waited for Li Ziyu to speak. In that case, Li Ziyu would not have gotten up if he didn't speak.
Li Luo coughed, looked at Li Ziyu and said, "Miss, please forgive the slave maid for being injured and unable to salute the eldest miss, the second young master, the third young master, the fourth young master, the fifth young master and the sixth young lady, and when my body is better, I will make up for the missing etiquette." ”
Li Ziyu hid the surprise in her eyes, hurriedly helped Xiao Ou up, and said to Li Luo on the kang, "Aunt Li Luo, what are you doing here?" I brought you home because I treated you as an adult, not a slave. ”
"Miss's words are wrong, our mother and daughter sold a death deed, and they will be your slaves for life. Don't say anything about elders and not elders, it will make people laugh when you say it. ”
"However, it was only a stopgap measure at the time, and I didn't really want to buy you."
"I know, the eldest lady has a good heart, but we can't get an inch. You have saved our lives, we can't repay this great kindness, we are willing to sell ourselves into slavery, and being able to meet a master like the eldest lady is a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes. ”
Li Ziyu rolled her eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, since you are willing, then let it be." It's just that you also saw the situation in my house. If outsiders know that my family has bought slaves, they will be suspicious, and there will be some turmoil in the village. So, we'll still call you aunt and sister, and that's it, right? ”
Li Luo thought about Li Ziyu's words carefully, several orphans had just eaten enough to now called slaves, the span was still too big, and it was too easy to be criticized, so she had to follow Li Ziyu's proposal.
Xiao Ou took out the fifty taels of silver compensation from the Colorful Star Cloth Village from his arms, handed it to Li Ziyu and said: "Big and small, Xiaoyu, you take this money, you still have the medicine fee for my mother to buy medicine, I don't know when my mother's illness will be better, if fifty taels is enough, you can take it first, and I will pay you back when I earn the money later." ”
Li Ziyu didn't take the silver, but took out twenty taels of silver from her arms and handed it to Xiao Ou and said, "Sister Xiao Ou, these fifty taels are the compensation given to you by the Sun family, and they should belong to you." As for the cost of the medicine you mentioned, I have deducted it from your money for selling yourself, and this is the rest, you take it. ”
Xiao Ou turned his head to look at his mother, Li Luo nodded, and Xiao Ou took the silver.
In fact, Li Ziyu could have stopped Xiao Ou when she had just saluted just now. She didn't stop it at the first time, she just wanted to see if the two mothers and daughters really wanted to sell themselves. If she is reluctant, then she will find an appropriate time to release the two mothers and daughters, she does not want to put a time bomb around her and put her young siblings in danger.
Fortunately, the performance of the two mothers and daughters made her quite satisfied, and the string that was always tight in her heart relaxed a lot.
In fact, what she didn't tell the two mothers and daughters was that she hadn't gone to the yamen to file the two deeds of sale. The fact that they are not archived in the yamen means that they are still good citizens and are not slaves. She planned not to tell them first, after all, she knew people and faces, but she didn't know her heart, so she had to keep a backhand.
After solving the matter of silver, Li Ziyu began to distribute and settle the residence of the house.
She moved all the vegetable boxes in the east house to the floor of the house, and the kang was completely vacated. I cut the newly bought oilcloth according to the size of the kang and spread it on the Dongwu kang.
The new quilts, new kang quilts, and pillows in the west house were hugged and laid out one by one, and their sisters planned to live in the east house.
There is the original oilcloth on the West House Kang, and Li Luo's mother and daughter also have their own futon, which can be placed properly.
Although Li Ziyu bought them, she hoped to leave private space for both parties, after all, everyone is still a stranger, and there should still be a private space.
It stands to reason that the east house is a little messy, and there are more than a dozen vegetable boxes, which should be lived by Li Luo's mother and daughter.
But at that time, Li Ziyu was holding Li Luo, who was seriously injured, and she could only be placed in the West House first, and it was not easy for them to vacate the house now.
Tomorrow I have to move the only piece of furniture in the house, the wooden box, to the east house, although it is locked with a lock, but all the money and important things such as the title deed are in the box, and there can be no mistake.
Thank you for your recommendation! Thank you for not giving up! Thank you for your collection!
