Chapter 36: Moving
Speaking of which, Ochre is really a little sad.
When she went out as a guest for a while, although the people around her treated her as usual, her eyes and demeanor were all weird.
She's had enough.
"Daddy, it's not that we don't want to deal with you, it's really beyond our strength."
"If we can do it, we won't watch you stay in prison."
The ochre family was in mourning, but Yuan Baoer was angry.
Back then, Yang Grandpa said to his friends that he sent his son to the academy, how could he not say that he was unable to do anything, and he would work for his uncle, so why not say that he was powerless?
When my grandfather was in trouble, he didn't ask them to do anything, even if he looked at him in the past and sent a meal, he did his duty as a son.
Cheng Li looked at his son.
Cheng Guangzhi was drooping his eyelids, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Cheng Li had a few traces of anger in his heart, the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, and his whole person trembled.
Yuan Bao'er saw that he was angry, and hurriedly stroked his shoulder.
Cheng Li glanced at her and saw that her little face was suffering, and he didn't want her to worry, so he eased his expression.
He took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Huan Wen, I told you when I resigned that you don't have to bear the future of the Cheng family, do you remember?" ”
Hearing his own words, Cheng Guangzhi raised his head blankly, slowly recalled the past, and vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
As soon as Cheng Li saw his son's appearance, he knew that he must have forgotten, so he said: "At that time, I also said that no matter whether I am good or bad in the future, you don't have to care." ”
"Your rise and fall of honor and disgrace is just a matter of your family, and it has nothing to do with others."
Cheng Li looked at his son and said slowly.
Cheng Guangzhi's eyes widened little by little, and his memories gradually returned, and he finally remembered that he was angry that his father resigned from the position of emperor monk and monk without saying a word for his sister's daughter, leaving him alone in Beijing, and said something excessive in anger.
That's how my father looked at him and said that.
"Father," Cheng Guangzhi panicked and muttered in his voice.
Cheng Li smiled, looking a little relieved, "Over the years, I have kept all the money you sent. ”
He pointed to the table, and Yuan Bao'er hurriedly opened the box and took out the silver ticket inside.
Cheng Li took it and handed it to Cheng Guangzhi, "I haven't moved, I've kept it." ”
Cheng Guangzhi looked at this thin and almost transparent piece of paper and trembled.
The ochre family is strict, and he doesn't have extra spare money on hand, but he is worried that his father is outside, so he has been trying to save some and secretly take it away.
He was devoted to filial piety, but he didn't want his father to leave him behind back then.
He still thought that his father was just a momentary anger, and he kept fighting with him.
Thinking of the past ten years, his mouth opened and closed, and he couldn't make a sound for a while.
The ochre family was angry that he secretly stuffed money into the old man, and even more angry that he was still like a dumb person at this time, so he immediately pushed him away and said earnestly: "Daddy, no matter when, you are our elder." ”
"We are juniors, if we do something wrong, you teach it, and we must change."
As she spoke, she pinched Cheng Guangzhi hard.
Cheng Guangzhi was excited and woke up.
Ochre hurriedly motioned for him to hurry up.
I didn't want Cheng Guangzhi to laugh, but he took the silver ticket, and kowtowed three times in Ochre's disbelieving gaze.
"Daddy, my son is not filial, so let's go."
His voice choked, he stubbornly stood up, and left without looking back.
"Hey, you," Ochre was angry with smoke on his head, but he didn't dare to attack in front of Cheng Li, so he had to squeeze out a little smile, give a blessing, and hurriedly catch up.
The quiet pins in the room could be heard.
Cheng Li was stunned for a while before he sighed softly.
Raising his eyes to see Yuan Bao'er's concern, he hooked the corners of his mouth.
"Grandfather is fine," he patted the back of Yuan Bao'er's hand and said in a low voice: "People will come back later, hurry up and pack up your things, let's move." ”
Yuan Bao'er guessed that he wanted to be alone, so he went to the next door.
After almost two sticks of incense, Cui Xin came back with someone.
A few people have very few things, just pack up, and they can move over.
Cheng Li obviously didn't want to stay here longer, so Yuan Baoer instructed Cuixin to take Zhang's daughter-in-law Ma Shi and let the two of them go buy some bedding and other things before it was dark.
She and Cheng Li took Zhang Da and his old mother, little brother and sister to the small courtyard together.
The yard is not big, but it is very quiet.
Cheng Li has not been in a good mood because of Cheng Guangzhi's relationship.
Yuan Bao'er asked him to rest, and ordered Zhang Da to go first to see if there were any dog holes around the yard, and if there was, plug them.
She took Zhang Da's old lady Meng Shi and Zhang Erlang and Zhang Xiaomei to fetch water and work.
At this time, it was already late, and a few people only cleaned up the bedroom and kitchen, and the places that were urgently needed.
When Cui Xin and Ma Shi come back, they can put the futon on and sleep.
Cui Xin knew that Yuan Bao'er couldn't go hungry, so she bought a lot of food and came back.
Yuan Bao'er divided the food into two, one for the Zhang family and one for them.
"How can this make the slaves eat whatever they want."
Zhang Dalang worked part-time before he escaped from the famine, and knew that the master's family had its own set of rules and would not eat with the servants.
Yuan Bao'er waved her hand and said with a smile: "Today, after eating, clean up and rest quickly, there is still a lot of work waiting for tomorrow morning." ”
Zhang Da couldn't help but smile when he heard her say simple, and his heart that had been hanging was settled.
After eating, the women went to the kitchen to boil water.
Yuan Baoer and Cheng Li finished washing and rested early.
Cuixin went to talk to the five members of the Zhang family about the rules of the family.
Yuan Baoer and Cheng Li are not very disciplined, but they still have to abide by the basic dignity and humility.
Early in the morning, Yuan Baoer woke up in a burst of aroma.
She smacked her mouth and sat up in a daze, "Cuixin, it's so fragrant." ”
Cui Xin came in with a basin of water and said with a smile: "Isn't it fragrant?" My aunt makes meat cakes. ”
"It tastes good."
Yuan Bao'er rubbed off the bed and said while washing, "Have you tasted it?" ”
Cui Xin nodded and said with a smile: "Auntie can't handle your taste with the old lady, please let me taste it first." ”
After saying that, she still laughed.
Yuan Bao'er wiped her face clean, and waited for Cuixin to help her hair tie up before going to the outer courtyard.
Cheng Li had already eaten and was about to go out.
Seeing Yuan Bao'er coming, he said, "I have already explained to Zhang Da, what do you want to buy, let them buy it." ”
"Okay," Yuan Bao'er smiled and sent him out, feeling that the top priority was to buy a car first, so that his grandfather could walk back and forth.
After eating fragrant Hu cakes, Yuan Baoer left the two youngest at home and rushed to the market with a few people.
The first thing is to buy horses and cars.
This Zhang Da is relatively good.
However, Yuan Baoer was shy in her pocket, so she could only buy an old horse of some age, and the seller was quite good, so she directly sold it and gave it away.
The car is a little shabby, and the cloth and axles on it are a little useless.
However, Zhang Da can also do some carpentry, and the Meng family will be a female red, just enough to pick it up.
Everyone got the cart back first, and Zhang Da was responsible for buying wood and picking up the stables.
The women rushed to the market again, this time to buy pots and pans and some fabrics.
Cuixin has lived in Jingshi for the longest time and is the most familiar with the terrain, so she will lead the way and quickly buy all the things.
