Last night, because of the weather, she didn't pay much attention, but after following the old woman into the courtyard, she found that there was a patio on the left side of the courtyard, and a thatched house on the right.

The house was small, the things were very simple, and the cold wind blew in, like an ice cellar, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Dawu, light the coal."

Not to mention that Song Xiaoqiao felt cold as a woman, even he, a big man, couldn't help but shrink his neck.

He has been accustomed to food and clothing since he was a child, and he never thought that there were still people in the world living in such a dilapidated place.

"My wife is lonely and widowed, don't you mind."

The old woman looked embarrassed, looking at the clothes of several of them, they were either rich or expensive, and she was really dirty and messy here, so it was too wronged to let them in.

"Old woman, don't be careful, we just got off the carriage, and we are a little uncomfortable with the temperature, you are fine here."

She didn't want the old woman to think too much, but her body was really honest, and as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but shiver again.

"Then you can do it first, and I'll go make baked cakes for Madame."

There are still some white noodles, but there are not many of them, and I don't know if there is enough for a few of them to eat, but since they are here, they are her guests, even if she doesn't eat herself, she can't snub the guests, this is her principle of life for many years.

"Little Joe, why don't we put our things down and leave, this smell is too bad."

Growing up, he was either in Zuofu, or in a high-end restaurant, or in the land of fireworks, and those places were completely hell compared to here.

Not only was it so cold that it felt like falling into an ice cave, but most importantly, there was some disgusting smell mixed with it, and he really couldn't stand it.

"No, you're going to make the old woman sad like this, besides, you took the initiative to ask for it yesterday, what's the matter, you can't stand such a little taste?"

What kind of international jokes, if they leave now, the old woman will be sad in her heart, so she won't be that kind of ungrateful person.

"I'm ......" Zuo Lin paused slightly, and said helplessly after a few seconds: "Okay, whatever Madame says, it's what it is, but Madam, you see it's dirty and messy here, where are we sitting?" ”

There were only two chairs in the whole room, and one of the chairs was missing a leg and was propped up with wood, which had to be done with a butt, and it was not necessary to fall on all fours.

"There's nowhere to stand."

The old woman was a poor lonely old man, Zuo Lin not only had no sympathy, but also looked disgusted, what was his heart made of, so hard-hearted.

“…… Oh"

Zuo Lin wanted to say something more, but seeing that Song Xiaoqiao's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, he instantly swallowed back what he wanted to say, and then sat on the lame chair.

There is no way, there are only two chairs in the room, Song Xiaoqiao is pregnant with a child now, it is impossible to let Song Xiaoqiao sit on that bad chair, in case he falls, then his son will be gone.

However, after living for more than 20 years, it was the first time he sat on such a bad chair, for fear that if he moved, he would fall to the ground, so he straightened his back and remained motionless the whole time.

Dawu Xiaowu and the maidservant girl next to him all lowered their heads, and the corners of their mouths were slightly hooked.

"Madam, this is the baked cake you want, my wife has no salt at home, and I don't know if it suits your appetite."

Salt is a luxury for a person like her who is about to enter the earth, and she can't afford it at all, and I don't know if they will dislike it.

"Of course it's appetizing, otherwise why would I come again, but mother-in-law, this time I came over and brought some things for you, you take a look first, what is still missing, I'll ask someone to buy it for you."

It's fake to come to eat baked cakes, she just wants to use this old woman to make Zuo Lin believe that she has what she says, and she really wants to help the old man.

"I'm all dying, it's a waste to give these things to my wife, you might as well give them to those in need."

She knows her own body, whether she can survive this winter, it is still a question mark, to give her such a good silk and rice oil noodles is a person who is about to enter the earth, it is really a tyrannical thing.

"Mother-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about, you have to live well, and this time next year, I will come to eat baked cakes."

She understood the old woman's thoughts, and felt that she was a person anyway, and she was still so old, and it would be a waste if she died, so she said that she would come back at this time next year to give the old woman a hope.

Once a person has hope, there is hope to live, although the old woman's hair is gray, but she is still in good spirits, and there is no problem in living for a few years.

"Huh...... You girl, why are you so persistent, okay, then we will make a decision, at this time next year, my wife will be here to make baked cakes in advance and wait for you. ”

Her husband died ten years ago, and her two sons joined the army three years ago, and she had long lost hope in life, thinking that she would live one day at a time, but she did not expect that such a girl would suddenly break into her life and shout to eat the baked cakes she made, which made her seem to see hope again.

"It's a deal."

After Song Xiaoqiao finished speaking, he picked up a baked cake, first handed it to Zuo Lin, and then picked up one himself.

Zuo Lin is a young master, he has eaten all kinds of delicacies and delicacies since he was a child, and now let him taste this unsalted baked cake, which can be regarded as letting him experience the life of the people, so that he will not be so squandered in the future.

Sure enough, Zuo Lin turned pale when he took the first bite of the baked cake, but he was embarrassed to say it, so he could only bite hard, bit by bite, like chewing wax.

Let's not talk about whether there is salt in this baked cake, just say that this flour is probably something that has been left for a long time, and it still has a hint of musty smell, which is impossible to swallow.

"Is it delicious?"

Others may not have seen it, but she sat next to Zuo Lin and took in the expression on Zuo Lin's face, so she deliberately asked Zuo Lin.

Isn't this guy a big spender on weekdays, now he knows how hard the people's lives are, if he can use his squandering to help these poor people, it would be great.

“…… Well. ”

Zuo Lin stiffened his face, hummed stubbornly, and then didn't speak.

Such baked cakes, let alone eating them, even a few dogs in their family probably won't eat them, but I didn't expect Song Xiaoqiao and the old woman to eat them so much.

Could it be that Song Xiaoqiao's family was so poor before?

But even if her family used to be poor, but now that she has him, she is considered rich, why does she still like to eat things that dogs ignore her.

Of course, Zuo Lin didn't know how poor Song Xiaoqiao's family was before, and he might not be able to see white noodles all year round.
