Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Little Donkey
After dinner, it was still the younger brothers and sisters who fetched water to wash their faces and feet, and An Lan washed the dishes. Watching them wash their faces and feet with a wooden basin, An Lan was a little nostalgic for the water heater, how convenient it would be if she had a water heater to take a bath! However, I vaguely remember the principle of the water heater, when to ask the potter carpenter to help make it, to see if I can make it.
You know, it's early summer, and it's okay to say that you don't take a bath for a day, but if it's the middle of summer, you have to take a bath every day. It's not that there is no big wooden barrel for bathing at home, and An Lan is just a little unacceptable to sit in the wooden barrel and take a bath.
"Alright! If the carpenter can't make it, the barrel will be a barrel! It's a big deal to put more salt to sterilize. An Lan thought hatefully.
After quickly washing the dishes, returning to the room, and entering the space to freshen up, An Lan lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, An Lan got up and got busy, and after freshening up, she came to the kitchen, cooked some green vegetable porridge, and slowly boiled it over low heat. Today is really busy, An Feng is the first day of school, and he has to go to Taizhou City, just thinking about it, I feel that there are so many things, An Lan shook off those thoughts and prepared to wake An Feng up.
An Feng estimated that he could also learn knowledge, he got up very early today, and before An Lan began to knock on the door, An Feng packed himself up and opened the door.
"Eldest sister, it's early!" An Feng smiled shyly.
"Uh, morning!" For the first time, An Lan was stunned when she saw An Feng smile like this. What a cute little Shota! An Lan committed a nymphomaniac in her heart.
An Feng was a little speechless when he saw his eldest sister's unobtrusive appearance, and he said helplessly,
"Eldest sister・・・・・・ what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's fine. The eldest sister just came to see if you were awake, and when you woke up, the eldest sister went to wake up the younger sister. That, porridge is boiling in the pot, and you can eat it later. I'll go first! In order to avoid the embarrassment of staying here any longer, An Lan quickly left the main courtyard.
"Hey! The eldest sister ・・・・・・ "Before An Feng's words were spoken, An Lan's back disappeared in the main courtyard.
This eldest sister is really getting more and more unstable. However, there is no father and mother at home, and if the eldest sister had been as soft as before, she and her younger sister would have starved to death. Okay, I admit that the eldest sister is fine now, An Feng thought silently.
After waking up An He, An Lan came to the kitchen, cut some kimchi and fried it, put it on a plate, and then heated the remaining fish from last night, cooked the porridge, and put a simple breakfast on the table. The three of them ate breakfast in silence.
After eating, An Lan took An He to send An Feng to study in a private school. Because Lu Fuzi's house is also on South Street, but it is a bit remote, not on the main street, and it is difficult for cars and horses to walk, so the three of them walked to the private school.
When he came to the private school, An Lan and Lu Fuzi exchanged a few words, then gave An Feng some broken silver and handed over a door key to An Feng, asking him to go home by himself after school, and he would take his sister to Taizhou City. An Lan then told him carefully before he asked him to study hard with Lu Fuzi, and An Feng accepted the money and happily agreed. The two sisters then said goodbye to Lu Fuzi's house.
Anlan returned to the stable, fed the mule some hay, and after adding some water to the trough, he picked it up and prepared to go out. When he came to the courtyard of the main courtyard, An He was waiting there early, and when he saw An Lan bringing a mule, he knew that he was going out to play today. In Anhe's small world, it must be fun to go out with the eldest sister.
An Lan locked the door and drove to the Chinese family's house. The Chinese man was holding a bag early and waiting for An Lan at the door, and he was still holding a small donkey in his hand.
"Miss An, you're here. Let's go? The Chinese also saw An Lan at this time, and hurriedly shouted at her.
"Okay, let's go." An Lan also replied loudly. With that, she turned the car around and drove towards the city gate. The Chinese man also rode a little donkey and followed.
Along the way, the Chinese walked slowly, and An Lan looked at the little donkey and then at the Chinese people, and was a little worried. What if the Chinese flatten the little donkey? It's true that the Chinese are really, isn't it okay to buy a horse?
The Chinese looked at An Lan from time to time looking at himself and the donkey, a little puzzled. What's wrong with this girl?
"That, Uncle Wang, can you really walk to Taizhou City?" An Lan finally couldn't help but wonder in her heart and asked.
"Oh, you said the donkey! This is not my donkey, I borrowed it from my eldest brother's house. Rest assured, this is definitely the best donkey. Or is it my eldest brother's carefully selected ・・・・・・" mentioned his eldest brother, the Chinese had some pride, and then said: "If you want me to say! My big brother is amazing. At the age of 13, he went to be an apprentice to others, and it took him five years to become a teacher and become a runner. Bring my father and mother to the city to enjoy the blessings, and my second brother and I also followed the eldest brother to get naked・・・・・・ you say, can you do it? ”
The more An Lan listened, the more she felt that the eldest brother in the middle of the mouth was somewhat familiar, who was it? A white light flashes in my head, doesn't it? An Lan tentatively asked, "That, Uncle Wang, your eldest brother won't be the shopkeeper of Yunlai Restaurant!" After An Lan finished speaking, she didn't believe it, how could it be so coincidental, there is not only one restaurant in Yongxing Town, and it may be a Dong family restaurant.
"What? Miss Ann knows my eldest brother? The man turned his head and asked in surprise.
"Hmm!" An Lan generously admitted, and besides, as long as the Chinese person asked his eldest brother, he knew that he was telling the truth.
Looking at An Lan's calm appearance, there was some curiosity in the hearts of the Chinese people. How did this Ann girl know her eldest brother? The Chinese thought for a long time without the slightest clue. No, you must ask your eldest brother when you go back.
"Miss An, since you know my eldest brother, do you also know my second brother!" The Chinese blurted out the thoughts in his heart, and after speaking, he wanted to slap himself twice, he is also a Chinese person, why can't he speak so much today, it would not be good if Miss An was angry.
"I don't know!" An Lan thought about it quickly, but didn't realize that she still knew someone surnamed Wang, and replied.
"Oh! My second brother is the shopkeeper of the only rice store in the town. The man whispered, as if to speak to himself.
It can't be that coincidental! An Lan wailed in her heart.
"Is it the tall, thin one?" You said that the three brothers of your Wang family don't look alike! Anyway, I didn't see any similarity between the shopkeeper of the rice grain store who helped me peel the shell, the shopkeeper Wang, and the Chinese man in front of me. If there are similarities, only the three brothers are all shrewd, especially the king's shopkeeper.
"Yes! Didn't Miss Ann know each other? The Chinese fox said suspiciously.
An Lan rolled her eyes and said, "I've been to buy rice a few times. ”
"Oh!" The Chinese recalled that it was really like this, Miss An's family was so small, how could it be possible to farm, presumably she needed to buy rice. Only then did the Chinese people let go of the doubts in their hearts.
A mule cart and a small donkey were parallel on the road, and Zhongren and An Lan were no longer talking.
An Lan got up a little early, and she was a little sleepy, while the Chinese were thinking about her heart and forgot to speak.
Along the way, only the sound of the wheel of the car was heard, and An Lan and the others silently drove in the direction of Taizhou City.
