Chapter 63: A New Home
The yard is two in and two out, it was originally an old house of a down-and-out scholar, because recently the family plans to go to Beijing to live for a long time and it is convenient for scientific research, so they want to rent it out, after all, it is the old house scholar who misses the old and does not want to sell it, the rent is not very much, but I hope that the renter can cherish it, and intends to use it for reading, just the two sides hit it off, and the receipts were done on the same day, and Zhang Xiaoman's family could move in on the same day.
Saved another day of money for the inn, Li Yuechan was still more satisfied, and the yard was really good, Li Yuechan had already regarded this place as her own home, and as soon as the luggage was put down, she held hands and started to clean up.
Zhang Xiaoman first looked at the structure of the yard, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, why did this yard be so good, why did he need this rent? Even if the ancient house was not worth much, it was too bad.
She quietly looked at the flattering and enthusiastic smile of the middleman, and there was a feeling that became stronger and stronger, just as her eyes turned to a tree in the corner of the backyard, the leaves of the tree trembled, Zhang Xiaoman crossed her arms and stared at the big tree, and the big tree was shaking in a thrilling way.
Zhang Xiaoman's head was full of black lines, should he be so excited, the trembling of such a battle, not even a blind person can see that there is someone hidden on the tree.
She saw Qi Ziyun on the street, according to Qi Ziyun's character, he is not a person who can do this kind of thing, Zhang Xiaoman thinks a little further, can do this kind of thing, and his brain is not a rich and powerful person on the normal line from time to time, only that person who knows her will help her, and I don't know where he saw her, and he helped her in a different way when he learned that she was going to buy a house, and he can be regarded as a caring person.
Zhang Xiaoman glanced at the big tree that was still shaking slightly, Zhang Dazhu and Li Yuecian were arguing in the front yard, and the middleman had left at some point, so she didn't expose him, and turned back to the front yard.
"Why can't you be nice to her, no matter how you say that she is also your own flesh and blood." Zhang Erzhu looked at Li Yuecian sadly, it had only been a few days, and his stature had become a little smaller.
"Why should I be nice to her? Who said she was born to me? I can't give birth to this monster! Li Yuechan's voice was not suppressed at all, and when she saw Zhang Xiaoman approaching, she deliberately increased the volume, "It's good to have a place for her to live, what's wrong with the firewood house, there are still many people who can't live in the firewood room!" She stood triumphantly in the middle of the courtyard, her eyes squinting.
Zhang Xiaoman heard these two sentences when he approached, Zhang Erzhu was afraid that Zhang Xiaoman would be sad and didn't continue to say more, Li Yuecian was waiting for Zhang Xiaoman to get angry and didn't speak, so Zhang Xiaoman was confused, what happened?
Zhang Dafu secretly approached from the house, and saw that Li Yuecian didn't notice him, so he grabbed Zhang Xiaoman and dragged him into the house, inside Zhang Xiaofu and Zhang Xiaotao were hiding behind the door to watch, and when they saw the two of them coming in, one of them closed the door, and patted his chest with palpitations after closing it.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the three of them funny, sat on the cleaned stool, and asked, "Mother won't give me a room?" ”
Zhang Dafu's eyes dodged.
Zhang Xiaoman shook the teapot, it was still empty, it should be Zhang Dafu They cleaned the house and didn't have time to make tea, but will they make tea?
Zhang Xiaoman beckoned Zhang Xiaofu to approach, and said: "Dad's white cloth bag has tea leaves, you go and ask Dad for a little over, the eldest sister will teach you to make tea, be careful, Dad is very precious to his tea." She smiled.
Zhang Xiaofu straightened his chest when he received the task, and turned around majestically.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Zhang Dafu, "Can you say it now?" She looked at Zhang Xiaotao again and said, "You have to remember, you still need to have someone who understands things at home in the future, and you have to pay more attention when I'm not there." ”
Zhang Xiaotao did not show an innocent expression this time, and lowered her head expressionlessly.
Zhang Dafu looked at the eldest sister and then at the younger sister, and nodded slowly.
"Sure enough." Zhang Xiaoman leaned on the table, rubbed her temples and said: "I thought that she would be able to change her environment and identity without prejudice against me, it seems that this kind of thing is not something that can be said clearly by common sense." She looked sideways at Zhang Xiaotao again, "You're right, no matter who you were before, who is the most important in the future, you are smarter than me." ”
Zhang Xiaotao opened her mouth, but finally chose not to say anything.
Zhang Dafu felt very strange and asked, "Sister, what are you talking about?" Why can't I understand? ”
Zhang Xiaoman was quiet and wanted to explain Zhang Dafu's two sentences, but vaguely heard Zhang Xiaotao's footsteps approaching, I don't know if it was Zhang Erzhu or Li Yuecian, so I forgot what I wanted to say.
The door was pushed open, Zhang Erzhu was holding a white cloth bag in one hand and Zhang Xiaofu in the other, Zhang Xiaoman stood up as soon as he saw him enter the house, Zhang Erzhu handed the white cloth bag to Zhang Xiaoman, "Well, if you like it, take it with you, I don't like it anyway." After saying that, his face turned red.
He originally wanted to say not this, at least his tone was not so blunt, but he didn't know how it became like this when he blurted it out, and now he didn't know what it would be like if he wanted to change it back, so he simply sulked and lowered his head unhappily.
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and didn't say much, took the white cloth bag, opened it, took out some tea leaves and put them on the table, washed the tea set and began to make tea.
The tea making utensils here are still very simple, so the steps are not as cumbersome as modern times, Zhang Xiaoman asked Zhang Dafu to boil the water this time, and washed the utensils with clean water several times inside and out, and waited for Zhang Dafu to come in with a pot of hot water, Zhang Xiaoman's tea set was also washed, and she asked the three of them to line up in turn, while explaining how to make tea.
Preparing tea, selecting water, boiling water, and utensils, these are all limited by the times, including the tricks of making tea, the three nods of the phoenix and the etiquette of Guan Gong's patrol of the city, I don't know if there is any etiquette here, Zhang Xiaoman does not dare to use it lightly, so he simply let them learn the basic steps of warm utensils, placing tea, brewing, pouring tea, serving tea, and tasting tea.
Zhang Xiaoman thought that Zhang Xiaotao would not be interested in these, but she didn't expect her to watch it with relish, several people including Zhang Erzhu were happy in the end, and listened to Zhang Xiaoman tell some allusions, and liked tea art even more, but Zhang Xiaoman was a little surprised, tea is to calm down to understand the mystery, it seems that the three younger brothers and sisters are all people who can calm down, that's good.
In the end, I didn't know that it was late, and when I heard Li Yuechan's dissatisfied shouts in the yard, several people returned to their respective places, Zhang Xiaoman would not obediently go to live in the firewood room, and found a room with good light and a few shabby clothes, and hid the valuables one by one.
