Although it is past the Spring Festival, the weather is still as cold as a year ago, and there was snow two days ago, but fortunately it didn't fall for long, and it was covered with a thin layer on the ground.

When the sun comes out today, the snow melts away and spreads into cold air.

Jiang Sumei rubbed her hands, took a deep breath, and when she exhaled slowly, it had turned into a thick white mist, and she secretly sighed, the winter here is really cold!

Seeing this, Cui Yu was going to order the silver charcoal in the basin.

"Don't waste it, use it in the evening." Jiang Sumei hurriedly stopped, it was daytime, and there was still sunshine, no matter how cold it was, it couldn't be as cold as it was dark, and at that time, even if she covered it with a soup woman, her feet couldn't warm up for a while.

Cui Yu persuaded: "That girl drink a bowl of hot soup and then write, so that her hands will be frozen, and she will have sores." ”

Jiang Sumei put down the pen.

At this time, the rice paper is full of small letters, the font is upright, the weight is appropriate, neither seems round, nor too sharp, so that people look very comfortable, there is a sense of naturalness.

Hongxing came over to put away the rice paper, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "The girl's handwriting is really good, although the slave doesn't recognize a few, but she can also see that she is different from other girls, and she is the most beautiful!" ”

"It's just that everyone writes it differently." Jiang Sumei's voice was thin and soft, "Drifting is not beautiful, depending on the wisdom, can you just say who is the best." ”

Hongxing smiled slyly: "I know the girl, it is the slave who said it wrong, it should be said that in the eyes of the slave and the maid, the girl's words are the best, and the slave and maid don't know what other people think." ”

Jiang Sumei glanced at her and stopped making a sound.

Cui Yu asked the fruit outside to go to the kitchen and ask for a bowl of soup.

Guo'er came back after a while, and said with a smile: "It's just right, we burned a pot of winter bamboo shoots and fish soup, let's go early, and there are still two bowls left, otherwise we will have to drink vegetable soup." ”

Guo'er is only ten years old this year, three years younger than Jiang Sumei, she was transferred in last year, and I heard that she came from the village with her old son, and she didn't learn much rules.

Hongxing rolled her eyes, and immediately taught a lesson: "What's early or late, our girl is going late, this fish soup has to be left for us, look at you, you always can't speak." ”

"Forget it." Jiang Sumei waved her hand, "It's just to fill your stomach in the afternoon, just eat some casually." ”

"Hey, girl, why do you always say casually, you don't guess wrong, the fish soup must be specially cooked for the eldest girl to eat, and only she loves to eat, those in the village are all sent to the house. It's just that he is married to An Lubo's second son, and they all stammered like this! Hongxing was greatly annoyed and said hatefully.

Cui Yu was so anxious that she almost covered Hongxing's mouth: "Don't open your mouth to say these things, don't you want to affect our girl?" The eldest girl can marry into Bofu, it is a happy thing, the eldest lady pities her to get married, and it is normal to love her, isn't our girl also embroidering the interstitial screen for the eldest girl? ”

Hongxing puffed out her mouth, but she didn't say anything in the end.

In fact, she had a lot of anger in her heart, she was originally with the big girl in Jiangfu, but somehow, she was suddenly transferred here by the eldest lady.

The owner of the second room has passed away, and there is only one third girl left, who was sick crooked a few years ago, but she also had to go with her family, but I didn't expect her body to gradually improve last year.

Everyone in the house mentioned her, they all felt pitiful, but pitiful and pitiful, no one was willing to get close, the old man, the old lady rarely talked to her, of course, the main three girls were also stupid, after there were no parents at that time, they didn't even speak, crying all day long, who would like it? is mean, and even said behind her back that she killed her family.

Over time, in the house, the third girl became a person that everyone was not happy to befriend.

Of course, there are exceptions, the second girl, the sixth girl is a special two, the sixth girl is a frequent visit, recently I always like to talk to the third girl, and I always close the door to prevent people from hearing.

Thinking of this, Hongxing was in a worse mood, twisted her small waist and went outside.

Guo'er was also naïve, she was blamed by Hongxing just now, she was not angry, she grinned, and began to wipe a few high tables with a rag.

After a while, a mother-in-law knocked on the door, saying that Zhang's mother was here.

Jiang Sumei hurriedly asked Cuiyu to light the charcoal basin, and picked out the two most dazzling and best-looking golden hairpins from the jewelry box, shook them in a step, inserted them on her head, and changed into bright clothes, so that her mother-in-law invited people in.

In fact, Zhang's mother is not the mother in the house, she is Jiang Sumei's brother-in-law Yu Chaoqing's nurse, and she came to visit Jiang Sumei.

"Mom, please take a seat." Jiang Sumei smiled slightly, "It's cold outside, Cui Yu, quickly pour hot tea for my mother." ”

Cui Yu went to bring the hot water boiling on the red clay stove and poured a cup of tea.

Zhang's mother was not in a hurry to drink water, she looked around and saw that everything was tidy, the house was lit with charcoal, Jiang Sumei was also wearing clothes made of good materials, and the jewelry was still valuable, so she was very relieved at the moment.

"Uncle is afraid that you will be wronged, so he always thinks about it and asks me to come and take a look." Zhang's mother smiled, "Now you can rest assured, the girl looks good, and she is a little fatter than last year." ”

Jiang Sumei nodded: "Yes, I'm doing well, tell my uncle not to worry, how is my grandmother's health?" ”

Zhang's mother was even more relieved to hear it, this child can speak, not like a few days ago, the same as the wooden man, but she still hesitated for a moment before answering: "It's also good, it's just cold, I don't like to move." ”

In fact, she didn't tell the truth, the truth is that the old lady is sick again.

This old man is sick, it is not easy to get better, and now Yu Chaoqing has to study and take care of his mother, his heart is haggard, and he has lost a lot of weight, but he still cares about Jiang Sumei very much, and called Zhang's mother to come, saying that if Jiang Mansion doesn't care about her, he still has to go to Master Jiang and say.

Jiang Sumei's eyes fell on Zhang's mother's sleeves, although she was wearing clothes that looked quite new today, the cuffs were trimmed, and her face was very tired, not like she was living a peaceful life.

Speaking of her maternal grandfather's Yu family, she was originally just well-off, and her heirs were thin, and after her grandfather died, there were only two left, her grandmother and her brother-in-law.

However, the house leaked and rained overnight, and then there were several incidents in a row, the fields were flooded, the pavement was on fire, the clansmen committed homicides, the family wealth was scattered all at once, and everything that could be sent was sent.

Jiang Sumei thought about it, got up and went to the small box at the bedside to take out a purse and handed it to Zhang's mother.

"What is this?" Zhang's mother was puzzled.

"It's a little bit of my heart for my grandma, she is not in good health, I know, but I haven't been to see her, these silver, please give it to my uncle and take good care of my grandma."

Zhang's mother excused: "How can this be done, the old lady is not in the capital first, you just want to see it and you can't see it, the girl still takes it back, she wants to be known by the uncle, but you have to say me." ”

"Uncle is going to participate in the Spring Festival next year, Mom, you take it, just say that I have plenty of money, tell my uncle not to worry about it, I don't need to put this silver here, just keep it with my uncle, is it feasible?" Jiang Sumei held Zhang's mother's hand and said sincerely, "If my mother is still here, I will definitely do it, now I am the only one, and my uncle is also a close relative." ”

She was telling the truth.

I remember the first time I saw Yu Chaoqing, she had only been walking through for a long time, thin and small, ignorant, looking at him, I didn't know where to start, she looked very stupid, and she was not wearing haode, standing there, pitiful.

Yu Chaoqing burst into tears at that time.

So, when this young man in a cyan robe gently put his hand on the top of his head and hugged her into his arms, she knew that in this world, this person must be the one who loves her the most.

Because, only he had cried for her, for his mother, and his tears fell, hot and sad, and moistened her cheeks.

Later, the young uncle rushed to the old lady's room regardless of etiquette and seniority, and worked hard to fight for her rights. It didn't take long for her to move and regain the original courtyard of the second room.

Looking back to this day, Jiang Sumei can feel the warmth rising from the bottom of her heart.

Mother Zhang saw that her palm-sized face was full of determination, and a pair of watery eyes overflowed with pleading, she gritted her teeth and accepted her purse.

The Yu family can be said to be stretched thin now, and there is not much money to spare, and the old lady spends a lot of money on medical treatment, and she also has daily expenses, which is really unbearable.

Uncle wants to study again, where is the time to make money? I accepted the girl's first, and I will always be able to pay it back in the future, Zhang's mother thought to herself, people live in the world, they are meant to help each other, why do you have to refuse the girl's kindness?

Jiang Sumei was very happy.

Cui Yu turned white, there are silver ingots and silver tickets in this purse, the girl has saved for a long time, how many years have she saved, and only then did she have the fifty taels, and they were all given to Zhang's mother, what should I do in the future!

After Zhang's mother left, Cui Yu whispered: "Girl, why don't you keep half of it!" ”

"There's still some broken silver, don't worry, isn't it going to be sent out soon?" Jiang Sumei doesn't care, she is an eldest lady who lives a moth-like life every day, eating and living are all public consumption, and she will never starve to death, but her grandmother's house is not, of course the money must be used urgently.

Cui Yu's eyes were red: "The girl herself doesn't have much money, those people don't ...... Jiang Sumei in the first place, and now she has no money to take care of it, isn't the girl's situation worse?" But she swallowed it again and didn't say it.

This girl also really cares about herself, I think at the beginning, the first thing she saw when she woke up was Cui Yu, probably, in addition to the people of her grandmother's family, she is also a haode.

Jiang Sumei smiled comfortingly: "It's okay, these people can't afford to look down on us if they are dotted, let's talk about it later." ”

Who doesn't act according to the meaning of the above, the old man, which one the old lady likes, they will hold it, or who is in high school, who has a good family business, will really be attentive to you, otherwise, where is the truth?

Therefore, in the past few months, her first step is to "be right", recognize the current situation, stay calm, and correct her posture.

Because Jiang Sumei knows that it is not easy to live in this huge family, especially now that her parents are dead, there is no one to rely on, and her grandmother's family has also fallen, and it is even more difficult.

It can be said that the future is bleak.

Now the only way is to find a good opportunity so that she can survive this period of life in peace.
