Chapter Seventy-One: Ah Shu, Ah Shu
At night, Yu Shu returned to Zhao Hui's house, fetched water and washed his face, and as soon as he boiled hot water, he heard Zhao Hui shouting outside, quickly put down the firewood, ran out of the house to open the door for her, and asked her to push the stall cart in. "Aunt Hui, how is business going tonight?" Zhao Hui smiled and nodded, "It's so good, after you left, you sold more than 20 bowls of Lu." Yu Shu closed the door and estimated it, Zhao Hui's snack business never avoided her, don't look at her expensive, the cost is not cheap, a bowl of chicken soup wonton costs fifty yuan, and the ingredients alone are about the same, plus she also sells some noodles and vegetarian fillings by the way, and sells a total of eighty bowls a day, so that she can earn two dimes of silver. This is still Zhao Hui's good craftsmanship and sincerity of the filling package, which attracted so many guests. "You go wash your hands, wipe your sweat, I'll clean up here, the hot water is boiling, I'll wipe your back later." Yu Shu took over the car and pushed it to the door of the stove room, she knew that Zhao Hui had stood by the stove all day, and she didn't know how much sweat had flowed, and she was definitely not happy. "Wait a minute," Zhao Hui bent down and pulled out the little burden under the car board, and went back to the house to put it down. Yu Shu said behind her: "What good things still need to be hidden?" Zhao Hui smiled in the room: "I'll show you later." When the water boiled, the two closed the door tightly, wiped each other's backs in the stove compartment, washed their bodies with a hand towel dipped in warm water, changed into clean underwear, Yu Shu took a broom to sweep the water on the ground to the drainage ditch in the corner, Zhao Hui took the changed clothes and soaked them in a large wooden basin, and entered the house. Yu Shu cleaned up, closed the kitchen door so as not to sneak in in the middle of the night, as soon as he entered the bedroom, he saw that under the lamp, Zhao Hui was sitting on the edge of the bed, unpacking the small baggage, and when he saw her come in, he waved to her: "Xiaoyu, you come." Yu Shu walked over, watched Zhao Hui shake a brand-new green undergarment and gestured on her upper body, and nodded with a smile, "Look, I know that you can take advantage of this green." ”
Yu Shu looked down at the new clothes on her body, and she couldn't react, so Zhao Hui shook off a slightly darker pleated horse-faced skirt of the same color and wrapped it around her waist, circled the size, stood up, and urged her:
"You come and try it, I don't know if this skirt is long, if it is, I'll let someone cut it off tomorrow and lock the edge."
Yu Shu said stupidly: "Give, buy it for me?" ”
Zhao Hui glanced at her with disgust, "Yes, can this color still be worn by me at this age, you are a girl's family, dress up as a wild boy all day long, and don't wear a skirt anymore, I really think of myself as a boy, try it, I will take it to change it for you, there will be a Sanqing meeting in the south of the city the day after tomorrow, Aunt Hui will take you to ask for a signature, bless you with peace and security, and find a wishful husband in the future." ”
Yu Shu pinched the skirt that was stuffed in Zhao Hui's arms, looked at her gentle and soft eyes under the lamp, her throat and eyes were tight, and she wanted to say a few words to match the situation and make her happy, but her usual sharp teeth were lost, and when she opened her mouth, there was only one dry sentence:
"Xie Lu, Aunt Xie Hui."
"Okay, I'll go do the laundry, you can try it, and I'll see it later." Zhao Hui stood up and reached out to touch Yu Shu's head, she lowered her head and did not refuse, very docile.
When Zhao Hui was gone, he picked up the ball of clothes, buried his head in it, and stood for a while before clumsily shaking it off and putting it on his body.
The material of this dress is not good, but it is a real satin, the leather surface is smooth, woven with a light pattern, the cuffs of the placket are locked carefully, the most exquisite place is that the hip-length green placket is embroidered with a pair of small silver fish, tied to the chest strap, and it is on the right mouth, as if hidden in the aquatic plants and the head is intimate.
Yu Shu put on this skirt, touched the pair of small fish in the mouth, his heart was hot, and after thinking about it, he took off the scarf on his head, took a comb, and smoothed his hair.
The hair that was washed last night is still very soft, and she has coiled her hair in a bun during the day, and put it down one by one, and it is a little scattered, she simply turned out a hair rope in her small box, picked two strands of hair from her ears and temples, twisted it to the back of her head, and flicked the rest of the curls back and forth, until she felt that it looked good, and then patted her cheeks, made her face more rosy, and ran out of the river with her skirt, shouting:
"Aunt Hui, I-who are you talking to?"
Yu Shu stopped at the door of the house, and when he saw Zhao Hui at the gate, talking to the people outside the door, he asked out loud.
When the people outside the door heard the voice, they subconsciously tilted their heads and looked into the courtyard, but they saw that under the jade wheel, on the steps of the house, there was a green figure, with black hair and plain head, beautiful face and beautiful eyebrows, a pair of smart eyes, pretty and longing, slender waist, like a clever person swimming out of the blue lake, causing palpitations.
Cao Zixin was very surprised when the little guy who worked in his shop was a girl, but because Yu Shu was a boy's hearty appearance all day long, it was difficult for him to treat her as a delicate little girl, but at this moment, he saw it clearly and his heart softened, and he realized that this was a child who was a little happier than that child, where is a teenager - it is clearly a girl in her youth.
Zhao Hui heard Yu Shu's question, and turned his head: "It's your brother Cao, there is a family in the alley that has been stolen by thieves, and there is chaos outside, he came to ask, for fear that the thief will jump to our house." ”
Yu Shu tilted his head and looked outside, and saw that the figure at the door seemed to be Cao Zixin, so he stepped forward and said with a clenched fist: "Brother Cao, don't worry, with me, that little thief dares to come, see if I don't beat him, he is looking for teeth all over the ground." ”
If she is still the radiant tomboy during the day, this still has weight, but now it sounds like a little girl is strong, and the strong expression hangs on the well-behaved and clever face, which is very itchy.
In the dimness, Cao Zixin's eyes were full of light, and when Yu Shu approached, he turned his head sideways to avoid it, did not answer her, and said to Zhao Hui:
"Aunt Hui, I'm going back, you guys be careful, close the doors and windows, don't open the door casually, shout loudly whenever something happens, I can hear it when I sleep very shallowly."
"Okay, go back quickly, I have nothing to do with Xiaoyu as companions."
Cao Zixin turned around and left, walked to the door of his house on the opposite side, and couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, and waited for the door to close on the other side, erasing the green shadow.
He stood at the door for a while, and with a low chuckle, with a little clarity, he said silently:
"Ah Shu, Ah Shu."
*————————
The Sanqing Society is an assembly initiated near the Taoist temple where the incense is strong in the city, and the form is similar to the temple fair, but because of the heavy road of the Da'an Dynasty, it is much more lively than the temple fair.
On the days of the Sanqing Society, the private schools in the city will have a day off, and only the businessmen are the busiest, so they should arrange stalls at the meeting on this day, occupy a good place, eat, drink and have fun, and it is more than the business of ordinary days.
On this day, Yu Shu got up early in the morning, and as soon as she got dressed, Yu Xiaoxiu came over and saw Yu Shu wearing a new dress, so she couldn't help but stare at her.
Yu Shu sat at the door of the hall and asked Zhao Hui to comb her hair, and when she saw Yu Xiaoxiu's face that she had never seen her, she stretched out her legs to kick him and threatened:
"If you look at me like that again, I'll beat you."
Yu Xiaoxiu pursed his lips, not believing that Yu Shu was willing to beat him, but he didn't stare at her so deadly, but went to talk to Zhao Hui:
"Aunt Hui, I said hello to everything you asked me to ask that day."
Zhao Hui said happily: "Asked clearly?" ”
Yu Xiaoxiu lowered his head and rummaged through the cloth bag he was carrying, found a folded piece of paper, and handed it to her: "My sister's birthday is written on it." Zhao Hui pinned the comb to Yu Shu's hair and reached out to take it, she was literate, but she couldn't write. Yu Shu had a comb hanging from his hair, and he didn't dare to look back at Zhao Hui, so he looked at Yu Xiaoxiu suspiciously: "My birthday?" ”
Yu Xiaoxiu nodded, turned his ass and went to the kitchen to pour water to drink, he got up too early, walked all the way from Ji's house, and didn't even drink saliva.
"Aunt Hui, what do you want my birthday to do?"
Zhao Hui put the paper away in her arms, straightened her head, and said: "You are embarrassed to ask, how can anyone not even know their birthday, I will ask clearly, today I went to find Mr. to calculate for you." ”
Yu Shu smiled: "I'm easy to learn myself, and I use others to calculate, okay, you show me the eight characters, I'll calculate it for you, and see when I can make a fortune." ”
Zhao Hui snorted and twisted her ear, "You have only studied for a few days, as much as you say, there is a gentleman Douyi in the Sanqing Meeting, only this day does not collect divination money, and those who can't see it on weekdays will come, if you are lucky, you can be ranked in a position, and you will do a good calculation, if there is any disaster, you can avoid it." ”
Zhao Hui has always felt that Yu Shu's life is not good, she remarried with her mother, became a concubine in a big family, there is no parent, her mother does not want to see her, she was beaten out of the house before, these days have been smooth, but who knows if there will be trouble in the future, she has long been thinking about this day, and she can find a gentleman to show Yu Shu.
Yu Shu didn't know what Zhao Hui was thinking, but he didn't want to refute her kindness, so he made a few jokes and didn't say anything more.
Zhao Hui combed Yu Shu's hair, and went into the house to get a new schoolbag for Yu Xiaoxiu, the brown bookbag, the strap on the shoulder was twisted into leather, it was much better than Yu Xiaoxiu's patched bag, she was cutting Yu Shu's clothes, and she didn't forget him.
"Do you like it?" Zhao Hui rubbed her hands and watched Yu Xiaoxiu's reaction with a little expectation.
Yu Shu looked at Yu Xiaoxiu's appearance of liking and embarrassed to accept it, and pressed his head and said, "Don't you say thank you to Aunt Hui, I specially asked someone to make it for you." ”
"Xie, Xie Lu, Aunt Xie Hui." Yu Xiaoxiu blushed and thanked him, compared to Yu Shu's cheekiness, he was very shy.
Zhao Hui raised her hand and touched his little head, her eyes were about to soften, "It's good to like it, it's good to like it." ”
Yu Shu saw that Yu Xiaoxiu was happy, and she was even more grateful to Zhao Hui in her heart, she could protect Yu Xiaoxiu and take care of Yu Xiaoxiu, but she couldn't bring her this elder-like care, which is an indispensable part of growing up.
"Go to the other door and see if your brother Cao has packed up, let's go together." Zhao Hui said, there are many people in Sanqing, there are many land and scoundrels, and there are many women and children to cheat, and there is a young man to accompany him, which can save a lot of trouble, and she invited Cao Zixin yesterday, and it happened that he was also going to Sanqinghui, so he agreed to go together.
Yu Shu took the opportunity to pinch Yu Xiaoxiu's face, smiled and walked out, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure with a soap shirt and lotus waist standing at the door, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and greeted:
"Brother Cao."
Cao Zixin turned around, looked at the girl with bright eyes and bright teeth in front of her, her eyes were smeared with a layer of light light, and she said softly: "Ah Shu." ”
