Chapter 13: Buying a House (1)
When Xiao Juniang returned to the broken temple with her two children, Hu Daring had not yet returned. Xiao Ju helped her mother tidy up the things on her own turf, and packed up the quilts and clothes that could still be used again, Xiao Ju Niang carried the heaviest things, and Xiao Ju also took two burdens, and even Zhuang Zhuang took a small package in his hand.
The girl walked towards her new home. Of these three people, only Xiao Ju Niang and Xiao Ju knew that the small courtyard would be their home in the future. And Zhuang Zhuang is too young, he only knows how to run around with his mother and sister, and he doesn't know what they are doing?
Xiaoju's heart is the happiest, after coming to the Republic of China for so long, he finally got rid of the broken black kiln and owned a small courtyard of blue brick houses. And the origin of some silver dollars is clear to my mother, so that I can find a way to find an excuse to eat the grain noodles in the space, and I can survive the two years of famine without escaping.
Xiao Ju Niang was also very happy, but she felt that she had special strength to walk today. I have a smart and wealthy daughter, and at the most difficult time in the family, I was able to dig up a silver dollar and solve her troubles! In this way, Xiaoju may have a great creation in the future!
The lady soon arrived at the small blue brick courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and took the things in her hand into the hall, Xiao Ju Niang picked the main room on the left side of the hall, and Xiao Ju picked the one on the right side for herself.
Xiaoju's two main houses went in to take a look, and found that the pattern was the same, the wall of the backyard of the two main houses had a big kang, and the other things had already been emptied by the owner. The wall facing the courtyard was a large wooden lattice window with decent window paper pasted on it. It's just that because of the time, it looks a little yellow.
Because of the large window facing the main courtyard, the two main rooms are particularly bright, and Xiao Ju likes it very much at a glance. For this turbulent era inexplicably, she has resentment in her heart! What's more, living in that black cave, where there is no sunlight all year round, there is no sense of loss, it is fake.
Xiao Ju happily entered the main room on the right side and threw her two broken quilts on the kang. I happily took out two buckets from the space, and planned to go to the public well not far from this yard introduced by the owner to pick up two and a half buckets of water to clean up.
Xiao Ju Niang is also looking for something to draw water, but in addition to the earthen stove in the kitchen, everything else has been emptied by the owner! When she was worried, Xiao Ju came out of the room with two buckets with a smile.
Xiao Ju Niang looked at it, oh, isn't this the wooden barrel that she left in the Huzhuang cave and didn't take away? How did you end up here? She looked at the bucket with some confusion, and then at Xiaoju.
Xiao Ju couldn't help but feel a little panicked when she saw her mother's eyes on herself, and she didn't know how to explain it. But the space can't bring in anyone else except her. She had secretly tested it with the sleeping Zhuangzhuang. What's more, except for an extra birthmark on the palm of the right hand, there is no abnormality on the body.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ju's heart, which was beating very anxiously, slowly stabilized. She put down the bucket she was carrying, walked to her mother's side, and took her mother's arm with some coquettish hands and said, "Mother, I tell you a secret, you are not allowed to dislike me!" ”
As soon as Xiao Juniang heard this, her love for her daughter prevailed, and the little doubt in her heart was immediately thrown out of my nine clouds, and she hurriedly said: "You are my biological daughter, how can I dislike you?" ”
"Mother, I found that I can change things into nothing, and I can change them back! But I don't know what's going on! I'm afraid of being called a monster, so I don't dare tell you! Xiao Ju said while holding back her tears, and finally her eyes looked red and tearful, as pitiful as she wanted.
When Xiao Ju Niang saw Xiao Ju in this appearance, her heart hurt so much, where was there still a little doubt, she was just busy comforting her daughter: "Xiao Ju, don't cry!" How can you be a youkai? How could my mother think that? You can change things into nothing, and you can change them back, maybe it's because you're smart and capable, and the gods like you and give you spells! ”
Xiaoju listened to her mother's reassuring words and was taken aback, this mother would really help her make excuses! Even the spells given by the gods have come out! But then I thought about it, and in this era, especially in the countryside, people are very superstitious.
Looking at the continuous drought from last year to this year, some villagers worship the Bodhisattva praying for rain in their respective fields, and how vigorous the incense for rain is in the temples around the four can be seen. It can be seen that the spell given by the gods to her daughter is the real thought of the mother's heart.
"Mother, when we left Huzhuang, because I couldn't bear the things at home, I turned them all away!" Xiaoju looked pitiful and looked at her mother.
"Really? Can you turn them back? When Xiao Ju Niang heard this, she was overjoyed, but she was afraid that she would scare Xiao Ju, and the spell would not work at that time, so she asked a little worriedly.
"Of course you can!" Xiao Ju was proud now. She hurried to the kitchen and removed everything from the space. Then I removed a few broken boxes from my father's room and put them on the kang in the main room on the left.
Xiao Ju Niang saw that although the furniture and various kitchen utensils at home were broken, they were very practical, and the excitement in her heart was indescribable. This is good, and I have saved a lot of money to buy various daily necessities.
Xiao Ju Niang carried two buckets and told Xiao Ju to bring Zhuang Zhuang at home, so she went out to fetch water. By the time the lady had scrubbed the inside and outside of the house and put everything in place, nearly two hours had passed before she knew it.
Xiao Ju Niang and other things were arranged, as soon as this person was free, he suddenly found that it was already dark, and he was anxious, thinking that Hu Daring didn't know that they had moved to this small courtyard, and hurriedly said to Xiao Ju: "Xiao Ju, you are at home with Zhuang Zhuang, I will go to the temple to find your father!"
When Xiao Ju heard this, she remembered that she had forgotten to inform Hu Daring, I wonder if he went back to the temple? If you go back and don't see a few of them, you will definitely die! Busy said: "Mother, you go quickly!" I'm cooking dinner at home!"
As soon as Xiao Ju Niang went out, Xiao Ju took Zhuang Zhuang into the kitchen, first took out some white flour and cornmeal from the space, kneaded the two noodles together, and fried some mixed cakes that looked like corn tortillas. Zhuang Zhuang, who has been sitting on the small stool very honestly, smelled the fragrance of the dough, and his saliva had already flowed out, but he didn't dare to argue with Sister A to do things, so he had to look at it with a blank eye.
Xiao Ju looked at Zhuang Zhuang's pitiful little eyes while pancakes, and hurriedly handed Zhuang Zhuang a piece of cake that was the first to come out of the pot and had already become not too hot, and said, "Zhuang Zhuang is so obedient, Sister will give you a piece of cake!" When Zhuang Zhuang heard this, his little face immediately smiled into a flower, and he took the cake happily, and said while biting: "Sister, will you have bread to eat in the future?"
"Well, as long as Zhuang Zhuang is obedient, then Sister will make cakes for you to eat every day!" Xiao Ju looks like a big bad wolf tempting a little sheep.
"Then I will listen to Sister Ah in the future!" Zhuang Zhuang hurriedly assured loudly.
"Good! Sister told you, what to eat at home, you can't tell anyone! As soon as we say that, the food will be snatched away, and then we will be hungry again!" Xiao Ju then told her purpose.
"Hmmm! Sister, I won't say anything!" As soon as Zhuang Zhuang heard that someone would snatch his food away, and then thought of the scene of Liu Er's brother snatching Dong'er's sister's dough cake at his grandmother's house that day, his face immediately changed, and he subconsciously grabbed the small dough cake in his hand, and promised loudly again.
Xiao Ju saw Zhuang Zhuang's expression and smiled with satisfaction. She wants to plan to improve the food at home under limited conditions. My father and mother go out every day to look for work, but I don't know what kind of material she uses to make the cake, at most I think that the cake she makes is more delicious, but Zhuang Zhuang is different, and follows him all the time, although he doesn't understand, but as long as he unconsciously reveals his mouth, then it is difficult for her to explain the origin of white flour and eggs.
You have to know those eggs in the space, but when she was in Huzhuang before, she finally stole an egg from the house, and used that small treasure bowl to make it for nearly half a year before accumulating a big basket! Because the bowl is so small, you can only copy two at a time, and that bowl is filled. The Little Treasure Bowl has a feature that as long as the generated items are full, they will no longer spawn! It must be cleared out and put a mother object before it can continue.
After Xiao Ju finished frying the dough cake, she took Zhuang Zhuang to the front yard, and Xiao Ju Niang just opened the courtyard door with Hu Daring and came in! In the moonlight, I saw a pair of children standing in the courtyard waiting, these two couples were very bitter in their hearts, the children of the poor were in charge of the house! If it weren't for the obedient and sensible children, there would really be no hope for their lives!
As soon as Xiao Ju and Zhuang Zhuang saw their father and mother, they both ran towards them with their little short legs. Because of long-term malnutrition, Xiaoju and Zhuang Zhuang are not tall, and Xiaoju is six or seven years old, and the height is only equivalent to that of a modern child about four or five years old. Zhuangzhuang, on the other hand, is about the same height as a modern two-year-old child.
This has always been Xiaoju's heart disease. If she doesn't improve her life, she worries that she will be a dwarf in this life. Originally, the appearance of this body was not very beautiful, if it was short, how could she accept it?
You must know that before she came here, she was a famous beautiful doctor in the hospital, she had to be tall, educated, and educated, not to mention good-looking! Although it can't be compared with before, it still has to be worthy of the audience!
Hu Dazhuang picked up Zhuang Zhuang and said with a smile: "Do you miss your father?" It's a pity that my dad didn't get a job today and couldn't help my son buy food back! Tomorrow Daddy has to go out early to find a job!"
Xiao Ju Niang hugged Xiao Ju and bit her ears with Xiao Ju: "Xiao Ju, I told your father that because I saw that the temple was too chaotic, and there were many Japanese soldiers in Huaxian County, I was afraid that it would not be safe, so I rented this small courtyard!" The most important thing is that the rent is cheap!"
"Daddy believes it too?" Xiao Ju asked very skeptically.
"Your father is a tenacious man, and he will believe everything others say! Otherwise, he wouldn't have been eaten to death by his brothers and his father and mother all these years!" Xiao Ju Niang has some hatred for the way that iron does not become steel.
"As long as Daddy believes it! Mother, I fried tortillas! Let's go back to the house and eat!" When Xiaoju heard her mother say this, she naturally put her mind at ease, so she said very easily.
"Well, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I smelled the smell of tortillas!" Xiao Ju Niang was very confident because she had the jar of silver dollars as the base, and she no longer had the desolation and grievances of some time ago, and said in a brisk tone.
The family of four happily went back to the room, ate the fullest cake in the meal, cleaned it a little, and went back to their respective rooms to sleep.
