Xiaohua, such a "fresh and refined" name, the woman in front of her doesn't match this name at all.

The girl is eighteen or nineteen years old, with a melon seed face, and her appearance is very beautiful, and she may be ranked in the top ten in the entire Zhenjiang Mansion in terms of appearance alone.

She was dressed in plain clothes, dignified and beautiful, with her hair in a bun on her head, as graceful as a young woman's dress, which added a bit of charm, she stood by the river like that, not happy or angry, and added a little temperament to her plainness, so that her whole person seemed to have a light cage of smoke next to her.

Xiaohua frowned slightly at this time and looked at the three of them suspiciously, the three men who were so frivolous stared at themselves unscrupulously, not begging for a beating.

Cough! Cough!

Kang Damao pretended to cough twice, but was about to speak when he was interrupted by a voice.

"What are you three waveless gods doing? Dare to bully our little flower, is it looking for death? ”

The three of them turned their heads to see that there was a guy in a flowing and obscene-looking fashion walking towards this side, and it was actually a scoundrel.

", beware of me tearing your mouth apart." As soon as Xiaohua heard the scoundrel say this, she immediately quit.

"Which onion are you, get out of the way." Erhu walked over directly, picked up the scoundrel and threw it aside.

When did the second tiger become so domineering? It's just that this scoundrel's body is too thin, like a little chicken, and the two tigers pinch him.

"How dare you beat me? Don't know Lao Tzu's name? Lao Tzu is known as the fourth ...... of the Cao Gang of Little Feilong"

The scoundrel got up and before he finished speaking, he was kicked directly into the river by Linglong.

"Little Wyvern, are you worthy of it too?" Linglong took a sip and said very unpleasantly.

"Who are you?" Xiaohua asked coldly.

"I'm a friend of Wang An, and he asked me to pick you up and my aunt." Kang Damao stepped forward and said.

"You mean, Brother An was released?" Xiaohua was finally a little moved.

"Is he home now? We hurried home, the house was in a mess, and I didn't have time to clean it up. Xiaohua said excitedly, and after speaking, she was going to carry the clothes by the river.

Erhu took the clothes, Xiaohua and Kang Damao walked side by side in front, her steps were fast, and Kang Damao almost didn't keep up.

"Xiaohua, Wang An is dead." Kang Damao lowered his head, and suddenly a sentence came out of his mouth.

Xiaohua was immediately stunned when she heard this, and she stared at Kang Damao tightly, as if she could see the bottom of Kang Damao's heart.

After a long time, Xiaohua continued to walk forward, and said as she walked: "Let's go, I should go home and cook, otherwise my mother will be in a hurry, you can stay and eat at noon." ”

"Wang An......"

"Don't mention him, he has left us two years behind, and we have long since treated him as gone." Xiaohua's face was calm when she spoke, and she couldn't see any emotional changes.

Back at An's house, Xiaohua shouted into the house: "Mother, these are Brother An's friends, you entertain me, I'll go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, and leave them at our house for dinner at noon." ”

The three of them sat in the room awkwardly chatting with An's mother, close to noon, the meal was ready, and there were three dishes and one soup on the table, although it was not rich enough, but they were all seasonal vegetables, fortunately, they were fresh.

Several people chatted around the table without a word, but they all avoided Wang An's topic intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiaohua has been eating with her head down, after Erhu finished eating a bowl of rice, An's mother asked Xiaohua to serve rice to Erhu, and Xiaohua didn't hear a few shouts, Erhu immediately got up and went to the kitchen by himself.

"Flowers, what's wrong with you today? Is there something uncomfortable? Mother An came over and held Xiaohua's shoulder and asked with concern, she thought Xiaohua had come to relatives.

"Mother, Brother An is gone!" Xiaohua couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt on the ground with a puff and pulled An's mother's clothes and cried bitterly.

"An'er!" An's mother sat on the ground limp and hugged Xiaohua crying.

The mother and daughter have been dependent on each other, and this news is a bolt from the blue for them, destroying the faith in their hearts and completely losing their hope for life.

It was too cruel, Kang Damao got up and led the two of them outside, so that their mother and daughter could be alone for a while.

Sitting on a bluestone in the courtyard, Kang Damao raised his hand and slapped himself suddenly, his face was hot, and he felt even more uncomfortable, first Dabin and then Wang An, both of whom died for themselves.

He vowed to make himself stronger and capable of protecting those around him, rather than letting those around him die for him again.

After a long time, Kang Damao returned to the house again and told the mother and daughter to take them away and live a good life.

"We're not going anywhere, we're doing pretty well now." Xiao Hua said while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

"Is it really good? You see that the food you eat now is difficult to swallow, and the food is not oily or watery at all, I am not saying this to look down on you, but to let you know that not having a pillar of support in the family is not a long-term solution. ”

Kang Damao said with some excitement that he knows that poor people also have the backbone of poor people, but if they have backbone, they also have to divide the time.

"When your aunt is sick, do you have the money to treat her?" Kang Damao continued.

"It shouldn't be the first time that the scoundrel I met today came to harass you, right? Run away, and he'll have a second or third scoundrel haunting you. Kang Damao got to the bottom of the key problem.

The scoundrel's repeated teasing of Xiaohua is precisely because there is no man in the Wang family who is so wanton, if Kang Damao and they don't come, something will happen sooner or later.

This is exactly what An's mother is worried about, An's mother was finally moved when she heard this, she can't be because she has affected Xiaohua, it stands to reason that Xiaohua has not married Wang Anbaitang, she doesn't have to come to serve her, but Xiaohua is too sensible and kind.

"Wang An died for me, I promise him to take care of you for the rest of your life, this is also to fulfill his wish, I will honor you as much as I do to my mother." After Kang Damao finished speaking, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to An's mother.

"Son, get up, we'll go with you." An's mother was immediately flattered and helped Kang Damao up.

Xiaohua has always listened to An's mother's words, and when she saw this, she no longer refused, and the two packed their luggage and followed Kang Damao out of Xiaohua Mountain.

After coming back, the next person came to report that the wall of the newly cleaned room last night suddenly cracked, and it may be dangerous to live in it now, no wonder the room they live in now is also an old house with some history, and the wall cracking is inevitable.

It's just too coincidental that the crack opened in the room where Xiaohua's mother and daughter were going to live, which gave Kang Damao a headache, and what made him even more headache was that one room was cracked, and the rest of the rooms were also a matter of time or time, so he was really not at ease when everyone lived in a dilapidated house.

The most troublesome thing at the moment is that there is only one room left in the yard, and yesterday it has been cleaned up for the eldest brother Kang Dacheng to live in, Kang Damao had to let their mother and daughter live in their own room temporarily, and he asked his subordinates to add a new quilt.

Kang Damao ran to the eldest brother's room and squeezed with the eldest brother for one night.

Although Xiaohua's mother and daughter were a little unaccustomed to it, they still stayed, looked at the furnishings in Kang Damao's room, and said in their hearts: Sure enough, it is a rich family, this young man is very honest, and he will not suffer any grievances if he follows him.

The next day, Kang Damao pushed everything in his hand and called everyone together.

The first thing is that he introduced Xiaohua's mother and daughter to the rest of the people, asking them to treat the two of them like their own family, and especially emphasized that they should treat An's mother with the same respect as he treats his Kang Damao's mother.

The second thing, Kang Damao and everyone discussed to buy a new house, the current house is a little old, everyone lives in the backyard of the store, and it is not convenient to enter and exit, and the most important thing is that it is not enough to live now.

Shopkeeper Sun counted the silver used for turnover in the store now, and there are still 800 taels of silver, and if the guy goes to urge the account, he should be able to collect about 200 taels.

Kang Damao himself has saved more than 2,000 taels in recent years, adding up to more than 3,000 taels, and if he wants to buy a house with a yard, he can only choose a house with a yard in a remote suburb, which is definitely not possible.

Erhu got up and went back to his room and took out all the one hundred taels of silver he had saved over the years, he looked at Kang Damao with a smile and said, "Don't be too little." ”

Kang Damao patted him on the shoulder, and understood that this was the wife of Erhu.

Linglong gritted her teeth and took out a jade pendant from her arms and threw it directly on the table, that's it.

"What are you doing here? The jade pendant was withdrawn. Kang Damao pushed it directly, he couldn't let everyone fryer sell iron in order to buy a house.

Linglong clenched his hands into fists and ignored Kang Damao, a group of personalities.

Xiaohua lowered her head and rubbed her sleeves with her hands, she didn't want to help, she really didn't have any money.

"Da Mao, I have some here, too." Kang Dacheng was a little embarrassed to say that he was embarrassed to hide it anymore when he saw that everyone was generous.

"How much?" Kang Damao asked.

"Not much, just 50,000 taels." Kang Dacheng said and took out a stack of brand-new silver tickets from his arms.

Forehead!

Erhu touched it with his hand and fainted directly.
