Chapter 9: Five Buckets of Rice (Recommendation Votes Are Hungry)
In view of the lack of physical exercise, it looks like his life is imminent. Lu Heng was in the room early the next morning and started his exercise plan.
However, after doing two push-ups, he decisively suspended the plan.
I came back late last night, although my sister-in-law left dinner for herself. However, the porridge comparable to Qing Shui and a nest head the size of a baby's fist made Lu Heng extremely depressed.
If you don't eat hungry, you feel more hungry after eating.
I dealt with it in a tossing and turning overnight, until I got up today. After doing two push-ups, Lu Heng felt dizzy.
At first, I thought I was sick and weak. However, after hearing a gurgling sound in my stomach, I couldn't help but remember that I hadn't eaten a good meal from yesterday to today.
It should be hungry.
The sun is rising, and the light is shining on the earth. The golden morning sun is reflected on the body. It's not very hot, but it doesn't feel so cold.
The smoke from the kitchen also rose at this time, and after a while, Lu Heng smelled a faint fragrance.
I was so hungry that I was a little dizzy. Lu Hengsuo threw the book in his hand aside and walked around the room with his hands behind his back.
After a while, my sister-in-law's voice came from the door.
"Uncle, the meal is ready!" Listening to the sound, it should be deflated. Lu Heng remembered that last night, just one look embarrassed his sister-in-law, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Just come out!" Lu Heng replied, patted the folds of the robe on his body, opened the door, and walked out.
Although it was already dark, the room was still a little dimly lit. Warm rays of sunlight poured in through the small holes in the windows, casting beams of light. The dust floating in the air can be seen clearly.
My sister-in-law sat at the table and sat upright.
After seeing Lu Heng come out, he said lightly: "Let's eat!" ”
Then he opened the small porcelain basin and brought out the cooked rice.
It's still two bowls of porridge and a nest head. The porridge is so clear that you can see the scars at the bottom of the bowl, and you can count the rice grains inside. Well, it looks like there are only seven or eight.
Lu Heng frowned, and was about to ask if there was no rice at home or what. But I saw that my sister-in-law had already picked up the porcelain bowl that was one size smaller than herself, opened her small mouth, pursed her small mouth and blew, and drank it slowly.
It's never too late to say anything later!
Thinking so, Lu Heng picked up the bowl and snorted without any image to drain the bowl of water.
"Eat this!" The sister-in-law handed over the black nest head, said lightly, and then continued to drink porridge with her head down.
Now Lu Heng saw it clearly, and there were seven or eight rice grains in his bowl. And in my sister-in-law's bowl, it was simply a bowl of water, and there was nothing.
When the matter came to this, how could Lu Heng still eat.
After sighing, he put the bowl down. Pushed the nest head over again. After thinking about it, I added it up with chopsticks and put it in the other person's bowl.
"Eat, I'm not hungry!" After Lu Heng said this, he directly picked up the bowl and pretended to continue drinking porridge.
Khan, in fact, at this time, there is nothing in the bowl except air.
Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment, raised her head and glanced at Lu Heng, who was pretending to drink porridge, and her pretty face was full of surprise. The beautiful eyes flashed brightly, and when he found that Lu Heng was about to finish drinking the air in the bowl, he quickly lowered his head again.
However, she did not eat it. Instead, he put down the bowl and said in a low voice: "In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, Zhang Ji's sister-in-law said that Zhang Ji Buzhuang has not been doing very well recently. He told me that I don't have to go today! Oh, I guess it's an excuse! ”
Before, although the family was poor. But I have such a job, and I can earn a few less money every day to make a living. But now, the only income is cut off.
Speaking of which, this strong woman finally couldn't hold back the grievances in her heart and left tears.
She snorted a little choked, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "There is no silver money at home, these days, thanks to the help of the neighbor Aunt Sun!" ”
Lu Heng sighed, and looked at this woman with a delicate body but an extremely strong heart with complicated eyes. Shaking his head, he said, "Why didn't you tell me?" ”
"It's useless to say it, your errand in the palace has just begun. According to the current management, you are not paid! Liu Qingqing wiped away her tears, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Wait for a month before you can get paid." Now it's useless to say that there is nothing but chaos! ”
Lu Heng's heart twitched, and he felt a faint pain. He looked at the woman and sighed deeply.
"Wait, I'll go get something!" Lu Heng stood up and walked into the bedroom under Liu Qingqing's surprised gaze.
After a while, Lu Heng walked out with a package. It was placed on the table with a bang, and when it unfolded, it turned out to be ten silver ingots!
"Now that we are left in the Lu family, there are only you and me, and if there are difficulties in the family in the future, you must remember to tell me." Lu Heng pushed the silver in front of Liu Qingqing and said with a smile.
As if remembering the previous evil deeds of the previous owner of the body, Lu Heng added: "Before, it was me who was not very sensible. Now, though, I figured it out. As the saying goes, Cang Liao knows etiquette enough. I can't even eat. What kind of fame and fortune are you talking about! ”
Liu Qingqing came to his senses for a long time, and his surprised gaze quickly calmed down.
She looked at the huge amount of money in front of her with some concern, and asked with a worried expression: "Uncle, where did you get all this silver?" ”
Lu Heng saw the melancholy on his sister-in-law's face, how could he not know that she was wrong. Shaking his head with a smile, he pointed to the silver in the cloth bag and said, "Well, these silver are the wages given to me by the steward of the palace!" ”
"Wages? You've only been there for seven days, how can you get so much pay? Liu Qingqing pushed the silver away, his face was a little ugly, and he asked with a cold snort. She was very worried that her uncle had done something that he should not have done to get the money.
Lu Heng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Liu Qingqing's cold eyes, he naturally knew in his heart that his sister-in-law should have misunderstood herself.
Lu Heng shook his head and said lightly: "Well, no." It was I who taught the eldest lady of the palace a new art of settling accounts, and this money is considered to be tuition! Wages. ”
Lu Heng groped around from his body, took out a small bag from his arms, opened it and poured more than a hundred copper plates on the table: "Then, this is my salary, a total of one hundred and forty wen!" ”
"A new settling technique?" Liu Qingqing's eyes were obviously full of disbelief. is in the confinement of etiquette, although she has not had much contact with Lu Heng before, she also knows that some of her uncles are actually nerds, where does he know what arithmetic.
"Hehe, I'm also a showman. I've been studying for a few years. Although the brain is sometimes stupid, it has learned something. And this settling technique is what I learned in a miscellaneous book! Lu Heng touched his chin and lied in a serious way. When he was over, he looked up at Liu Qingqing: "Sister-in-law, don't you believe it?" ”
Liu Qingqing shook his head, and finally put the silver away and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just a little sudden." However, it is good to learn ways that they can afford to look down on. Now, the family can breathe a sigh of relief! ”
Lu Heng nodded, straightened out the robes, stood up and said, "It's okay today, so I'll go to the street to buy rice!" ”
After speaking, he didn't care about it, and walked straight into the kitchen without looking back. After a while, he walked out with the bag with an embarrassed face: "Cough, sister-in-law, how to get to the rice store?" ”
