Chapter Eighty-Nine: Letter from Home

When I was decorating, some people inquired about what kind of business it was, and everyone was very curious about it, and some people had the attitude of watching jokes.

Dong Xiaoman didn't think about whether she would be able to recruit full students, what she wanted was mainly from the business of student restaurants.

It's just that life is not very good now, so even if there is an advertising effect, few people ask, and Dong Xiaoman is not in a hurry, this is a long-term work process. In the future, it will depend on word of mouth, as long as there are people studying and the academy, this is a good thing, and it is also good to talk about reputation.

Erya didn't know what her grandmother did all day long, and in her opinion, her grandmother was like a god in the sky. This is a disaster year, how many people can starve to death, and the food at home is better than when their own family is the best.

The young master and the young lady eat egg custard every day, and they can eat as much as they want. And grandma is so ingenious, the things she makes are so beautiful, she can make tricks.

When Zhu'er came to Dong Xiaoman's house, she was just in time for dinner at home, and the lunch was very simple, and the noodles were hand-rolled with the fried sauce.

Dong Xiaoman was surprised when he saw Zhu'er: "Why did you find me here?" ”

Zhu'er blushed and didn't speak, and Xiaohu on the side smiled and said, "She doesn't know where your home is, but she doesn't know how Lu Dao asked to find our house." So I brought her, and alas, you are talking, Pearl! ”

Zhu'er held her mouth with aggrieved red eyes and said, "Yes, my mother asked me to come." ”

Dong Xiaoman chuckled in his heart, could it be that the Li family asked her to borrow grain? She knew that her brother had exchanged grain for land, so she came here in this name? couldn't help sneering: It's a shrewd person, Zhilu said that he has always felt sorry for Zhu'er and couldn't bear to be beaten if she couldn't borrow it.

Zhu'er cried: "Second aunt." My mother kicked me out! Woo woo woo ”

Dong Xiaoman and Xiaohu were shocked, and Xiaohu was even more angry: "Why are you being picked? You've been beaten again? ”

Zhu'er cried: "My mother said that the food at home is in a panic, so let me come out to do things to fill the family." Grandpa disagreed. My mother said that it is not easy for one more person in the family to open their mouths to eat. also said that the second aunt likes me, and there are two children to take care of at home, it must be a short manpower, let me find you myself. ”

Only then did Dong Xiaoman understand that the Li family had already slammed the door to this point. While wiping Zhu'er's tears, he said, "What about Liu's? Can your mother tolerate her? ”

Zhu'er cried: "Aunt Liu doesn't care about anything, she holds her brother in the house every day. Dad lives with Aunt Liu all day long, and my mother doesn't dare to say much about Aunt Liu. My mother asked me to go to Grandpa Dong's house by myself, but Grandpa Dong said that I couldn't tell me your address and asked me to find Xiaohu. ”

Dong Xiaoman sighed: "Your mother didn't say when you would go back?" ”

Zhu'er shook her head and said, "I didn't say it." ”

Xiaohu asked again: "When you came out, did your father know the truth?" In this barren mountains and mountains, you are not afraid of being caught and sold by those hungry people? ”

Zhu'er asked in horror, "Can you still sell people casually?" ”

Xiaohu scolded: "It's really not a good father, the poor and crazy still sell their sons and daughters." Seeing that you are alone, I don't tie you up and sell you, and many girls at the corner of the sloping street have shouted like this in the past few days. ”

Zhu'er and Dong Xiaoman were a little afraid, and said in surprise: "It turns out that this is still the case." What a blessing. ”

After saying this, Dong Xiaoman said a little angrily: "If your mother doesn't pay attention to you, you just don't report it." Later, when your mother looks for you, you will hide it and make her uncomfortable. ”

Zhu'er timidly whispered to Dong Xiaoman: "Forget the second aunt." I'm fine. If my mother knows, I'll blame you for lying to her. ”

Looking at Zhu'er's cowardice, Xiaohu hated Zhu'er: "You stupid, your mother just doesn't take you seriously." My mother is also ruthless, leaving our brothers and sisters alone. You have a mother, but it's not as good as me, but I still have a grandmother. You, you, hey. Xiaohu couldn't say anything, and he was panting angrily.

Zhu'er timidly pulled Xiaohu's sleeve and said, "What are you angry about." It is a kindness that they gave birth to us. I'm fine, don't be angry. ”

Looking at these two people like this, Dong Xiaoman couldn't help but feel a little more upset. Xiaohu and Zhu'er are about the same age, and neither party has decided to marry, and the quality of the two children is good, and it will be a good thing if they can be together in the future.

But Li's temperament is not much stronger than that of selling children's parents, and it will be really troublesome if he dislikes Xiaohu at that time. And the two children don't know if they are in love. Being a lobbyist by himself rashly is also very abrupt Meng Lang.

"Since you're here, stay there. There is a poor child named Erya in the family, you can share a room with her. Erya listened for a long time and understood that this was a relative of her grandmother's family, so she hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, "Miss." ”

Zhu'er was taken aback, she had never received such treatment, and she looked at Dong Xiaoman in surprise. Xiaohu pulled Zhu'er over and spoke carefully, and Zhu'er covered her mouth with sympathy in her eyes.

Xiaohu sneered: "You are all mud bodhisattvas who have crossed the river, and you still sympathize with others?" ”

Zhu'er said pitifully with red eyes: "I can still eat, and I haven't been sold by my mother." Besides, if something happens to me, can the second aunt and you still save me? ”

Xiaohu was satisfied and muttered, "You have a little conscience." ”

Zhu'er ran over and grabbed Erya's arm and said, "From now on, I will work with you." ”

Dong Xiaoman's family has had two girls to help take care of the children since then, and when time is free, he starts to plan his business again. After all, it's not okay to sit on the mountain and eat empty, but the arrival of a disaster year is also a difficult thing.

In the blink of an eye, in September of the lunar calendar, the sky is getting colder and colder, and Jue'er can start to walk a few steps. Mrs. Wang said that the child was well nourished and walked early. Huanhuan began to sentence, and it was neither too early nor too late to speak.

There are more and more poor people, and Dong Xiaoman wants to plant some vegetables in the field, just like in previous years. looked for Xiaogang, and he came forward to recruit the tenant to tell him about the situation.

The tenants didn't have anything to say, and the lord did whatever he said. There are those who are more bold and propose to plant some radishes and sweet potatoes, which are cold-tolerant and frost-tolerant and can be eaten as food. Dong Xiaoman also agreed, but he was worried that someone would steal something, but fortunately, the tenants knew that the landlord's family couldn't eat much, and he could share a part of it, and if someone stole it, it would be a loss, and he looked very closely.

The harvest after the most harvest is not too good, Dong Xiaoman did not share so much as he said before, he asked for forty percent, and the rest was left to the tenants.

The tenants were very grateful to the owner, and they all came to kowtow to Xiao Gang, so shocked that Xiao Gang did not dare to come out to meet the guests.

When the first snow fell, someone knocked on the door and saw that it was his own father. Zhu'er thought that her father had come to see her, and she was very happy. But it turned out that it wasn't, it was Erlang, who had no news, who wrote a letter to his family.

Saburo is literate at home, and the letter said that he is doing well, and the chief is good to himself, and he can be a soldier when he goes home when he is promoted.

Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were so happy that they hurriedly went to the ancestral grave to burn paper and bow down. It's just that the Dalang family suffered, Dong Xiao angrily hid in the city and lived by himself, and he had to take care of his daughter. If Erlang comes back and finds that his wife and children have no land, leaves his house, and goes to live in the house that his mother's family bought for him, isn't he going to kill people? So after thinking about it with Liu, Da Lang first sent a letter from Da Lang to explore Dong Xiaoman's situation through this file. is going to invite Dong Xiaoman to go home, and then give her the field, anyway, the grain in the field has also received her own warehouse, and it doesn't matter if she gives her some sweet potatoes.

Dong Xiaoman read the letter excitedly, and listened to Da Lang's words with disdain. I wanted to sarcastically mock him at the time, but I couldn't help it when I looked at Zhu'er's pitiful little appearance.

Da Lang came over with a bag of sweet potatoes on his back, and grinned for a long time before saying: "Brother and sister are talking, I see that the cold is not as good as your family." And the earth dragon, it's not good that this kid is still frozen. ”

Dong Xiaoman replied lightly: "I'm used to living, and I don't like to move around all the time." I see that the city is not bad, and I want to have everything, so I should live here. In the future, it will be convenient for children to go to private school, and I don't like to go back, and my heart is empty when Erlang is not at home. ”

Da Lang persuaded him for a long time to see that Dong Xiaoman's face was already full of gloom, so he had to leave in a huff, and when he left, he didn't forget to secretly explain to Zhu'er to persuade the second aunt to go home.

Zhu'er lived with Dong Xiaoman for a few months, and she was much bolder and understood a lot of truths. In the end, Dong Xiaoman wants to cultivate, and he always teaches her a lot of housekeepers and truths, and many things can't be done by her parents' minds.

And she didn't think that her father and mother were good to her second aunt, so no matter how Da Lang explained when he left, Zhu'er never mentioned it to Dong Xiaoman. Dong Xiaoman was very satisfied with this, but Erya was becoming more and more silent.

Finally, when she went to bed one night, Erya asked Zhu'er, "Do you think grandma will go back to her hometown?" If you go back to your hometown, what will happen to this house? ”

Zhu'er shook her head: "I don't know what to say, the second aunt didn't say it." ”

Erya frowned and said, "Didn't you come that day, and you are *** niece, why didn't you tell you?" ”

Zhu'er was silent, and Erya said again: "Grandma will definitely leave me to watch the house." By the way, is the old mansion big? Is there someone at home? Is the master coming back? ”

Zhu'er said: "The second uncle just reported his safety, and did not say when he would come back." The second aunt's house is very big, and there are many earth dragons in the big room than here. ”

Erya was relieved at this time, lying on the bed and tossing and turning, and then said, "Are you okay with Xiaohu?" ”

Zhu'er was taken aback: "What do you say, we are, we just know each other." He bullied me all day long, where is it? ”

Erya stared at the roof of the shed for a long time, and then said, "If we go back to the old house, can Xiaohu still go?" ”

Zhu'er was just like something, and she didn't notice that Erya had been asking Xiaohu in front of her recently. said honestly: "He always goes to the second aunt's house." ”

Erya breathed a sigh of relief, rolled over and fell asleep...... RQ
