Chapter 12: Helping Each Other

Nervously followed Wan Niang all the way, and the two did not talk a word again.

Passing by the small alley where Wanniang had an accident, Bai Qingshuang's heart was cold, and she probably guessed where she was going to take herself?

It seems that it is not easy for Wan Niang to do this business, is this to take her to her house to see her family's poverty situation? Then, let her take the initiative to ask for not to learn how to sell flowers from her?

Bai Qingshuang followed Wanniang anxiously all the way to stay in front of a courtyard gate in the depths of the alley.

The red brick fence and the log-colored courtyard gate look a little better than the standard slum street to the north. The faΓ§ade of the neighbor's house on the left and right is not much different, but looking at the life, it is also poor.

Pushing open the courtyard door, the first thing is the fragrance of flowers, and then the eye is full of flowers, some of which are blooming, and some of which are verdant flowers and plants.

Connecting the courtyard gate to the main house inside is a sheep intestine path, and it can be seen that in order to plant flowers, Wan Niang's house has occupied every corner of the yard as much as possible.

"Come in!" Wan Niang beckoned Bai Qingshuang to go in, and closed the courtyard door casually.

"These are all grown by my sister?" The small yard is actually not much bigger than Bai Qingshuang's house, but because the owner is more good at tidying up, the flowers and trees in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter are planted in an orderly manner.

"Yes! In order to be able to supplement some households, I went everywhere to ask for flowers and branches and seeds, four years of light, but it can be regarded as a full garden**! Wan Niang proudly looked at these flowers and plants planted by herself, as if she was looking at her own children.

"Is Wanniang back? Cough cough cough cough ......" As he approached the main house, a faint sound of questioning came from the main house on the east side, accompanied by several coughs.

Then, another crisp childish voice ran out with a giggling voice calling "mother".

It was a little girl of about three or four years old, with thin little cheeks, big eyes flashing, and two small buns in her sparse hair.

Suddenly, I saw a strange big sister standing next to my mother, and immediately threw herself into Wan Niang's arms, burying her head and refusing to look up.

"This kid is scared!" Wan Niang smiled and put down the bamboo basket in her hand, picked up her daughter, and then walked to the door first to respond to the sound inside and asked, "Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who is back!" Are you thirsty? Daughter-in-law, I'll pour you water to drink! ”

"Xiaodou poured water for grandma!" At this time, the little girl whispered on her mother's shoulder.

"Xiaodou is so good!" Wan Niang immediately praised her, but still asked the mother-in-law inside.

"I'm not thirsty, I'm just looking at the bad weather outside, isn't it about to rain?" The weak voice inside coughed and spoke, and it was uncomfortable to listen to.

"Yes, mother, I'll put away the clothes first, what do you need, tell me later!" Wan Niang put her daughter down by the way, and smiled embarrassedly at Bai Qingshuang, "Sister, wait a minute, I'll put away the clothes first!" ”

"Hmmm! Sister, go ahead! Bai Qingshuang wanted to say goodbye first, because it looked like it was going to rain heavily at any time, and she didn't bring an umbrella.

But Wan Niang seemed to see what she meant, and said, "You wait a minute, I'll be fine right away!" ”

As soon as she said this, Bai Qingshuang was embarrassed to leave, so she could only nod her head and follow her to help.

Wan Niang's clothes are not washed much today, just a set of men's clothes and daughter's small clothes and pants, as well as a set of clothes on her own body, but they are all cleaned up in a few hours.

At this time, bean-sized rain particles also began to drip from the dark sky.

Holding her clothes, Wan Niang brought Bai Qingshuang into her room, and Xiaodou clinged to her mother's calf, refused to leave a step, and peeked at Bai Qingshuang vigilantly.

The two big and the one didn't talk any more, listening to the louder and louder rain outside, Bai Qingshuang's heart was even more up-and-down, what did this Wan Niang mean by bringing her home?

In order not to let Wan Niang see the impetuousness in her heart, she could only hide her thoughts by looking at the furnishings in the room.

This is a side room, the area is not large, a wooden bed, a low step, and a small table accompanied by two round stools, and a large wardrobe, a low cabinet, two rattan cages on the corner cabinet.

Judging from these family items, Wan Niang's family should have a good life before, at least much better than her family.

Now that she is so poor and needs to rely on her to sell some flowers to supplement the family, it seems that it is really because of her mother-in-law's illness.

In the previous life, there was a saying called "a disease returns to the pre-liberation period", which seems to be universal regardless of that dynasty.

Wan Niang quickly folded all the clothes, and when she put them in the cupboard, she half-bowed and tossed in it for a while, and after a while, she finally said happily: "Ah! Got it! ”

Then, he turned to Bai Qingshuang and smiled kindly, and unfolded the two shirts in his hand, and said, "Look, can you wear these two clothes?" ”

"Huh?" Bai Qingshuang was surprised for a moment, and looked at her for some reason, what does this mean? Is it going to send her two clothes to wear, which can be regarded as repaying the favor, and then let her dispel the idea of selling flowers by herself?

"Here, put it on and try to see if it fits!" As soon as Wan Niang pulled her over, she was about to take off her men's clothes.

"Sister Wan, no, you don't have to give me clothes, I have my own!" Of course, it's all men's clothes, and it's still left over from the stupid brother above.

But this is also a helpless thing, who made their family so poor that they couldn't even open the pot, where would they have spare money to make clothes to wear.

It's the clothes on Bai Yao's body, which haven't been changed for nearly ten years.

"This is what I wore when I was about the same age as you, and my mother asked me to marry it because I was going to keep it for Xiaodou to wear, but now Xiaodou is still young, so I don't need it, so don't dislike wearing it first!" Wan Niang took off her coat without saying anything, and put it on for her, and let her turn around twice and said, "It's still a little big, but it's okay to wear it just now!" ”

Then, he sat her down again, and began to comb her hair with a wooden comb, and said: "Although selling flowers in the capital is also a good livelihood, there is no boy who sells flowers, so even if someone wants to buy it, people will not buy it with you out of a reserved heart, so you still have to restore your daughter to do this small business!" ”

Originally......

Bai Qingshuang's eyes couldn't help but be hot, it turned out that she was a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly, and people were not afraid that she would rob her of her business and were unwilling to teach her, but they thought about her thoughtfully.

"Sister, thank you!"

"What kind of stupid thing to say, I want to remember my sister's kindness for the rest of my life!" Wan Niang turned her back to her, so she didn't see that her eyes were already red, so she just expressed her meaning and said, "Starting tomorrow, you will come to my house in the morning to pick flowers, and sell more at the best time of the day, and I will pick and sell it myself in the afternoon, so that we can all make money!" ”

"How can I pick the flowers of my sister's house, let's go to the mountains and pick wild flowers myself!" Now the rhododendrons are all over the mountains, and it is time to bloom.

"It's dangerous to delay the time and go back and forth on the mountain, so let's pick some ready-made ones from me first, and I'll give you some seeds later, you can go home and sow them first, although you still need to get the next year before you can bloom, but it's always convenient to plant yourself!" Wan Niang said.

"Of course it is!" Bai Qingshuang suddenly thought of something at this time, raised her hand and looked at the birthmark on her wrist, can she go home first and try it, is that a dream?

Wan Niang is a good person
