Chapter 46: Reunion
On that day, after Gao Jin slammed the door and went out, he went to no other place, which was the place where he was born and raised. He had gone out in a moment's spirit, with only a little pocket money on him, and it was not easy to go to the places he frequented to drink and chat, so he took a carriage back to his home in the southwest.
Gao Jin buckled the door for a long time before the second brother came, a smell of alcohol, I was afraid that it was a hangover, and when I saw that Gao Jin came back, I happily came to pick it up, and looked at the back, no one else came.
I couldn't help but wonder, "Why didn't my brother and sister come back with you?" At the mention of this, Gao Jin didn't get angry, but shouted, "What brother and sister! Someone else's brother and sister! And he hurried to his room.
Pushing the door into the house, the ground was full of children's belongings, and a woman who had never seen it was coaxing the child in her arms, and when she saw a stranger coming in, she immediately shouted, "Someone, a thief has entered the house!" Shouting, he ran to the back room like crazy.
"What's the trouble, this is my third brother." The second senior in the back had expected this scene, and slowly followed in, pretending to be angry.
The woman hurriedly greeted her and said flatteringly, "It turned out that the third prince came back, blaming me for being blind and not knowing Mount Tai." ”
Gao Jin ignored him, turned around and asked the second brother, "What does this place mean, where have I moved my original belongings?" As he spoke, he angrily found a chair and sat down.
"If you don't come back to live, it's okay to use it, can an uncle of yours still care about his nephew." As he spoke, he went to coax the baby in swaddling clothes, and his little face was red and very cute.
"So, what about what I used to have?" Gao Jin was deflated, and he didn't want to worry about the second brother, so he simply backed down. Gao Lao Er didn't reply to him, and was still teasing the baby on the side, but the woman replied to him, "It's all in the attic in the backyard."
Gao Jin's house was a two-story small building, or his father bought it from others in his prime, and the four mothers and children also lived in it, but later they added children to some of them couldn't live, and now it is mainly the second brother's family who lives, and the eldest brother has not returned from a study trip, and he does not live here often.
The family couldn't accommodate it, Gao Jin went out, there was no money in his pocket, and when he was wandering around, he saw Tong Chunsheng in the tea garden enter a house, and leaned over to see the word 'Liang House' written on the plaque. This Chunsheng is a long-term worker in the tea garden, let him take a piece to the other courtyard, after all, the silver in his hand was used as the rental car money just now, but this Liang Mansion is a bit generous.
Gao Jin walked around a few times outside, and waited until Chunsheng came out, but when he came out, there was a person with a familiar face - Liang Xianxiang sent it, this person was hated because of the shop for the Ma family, and he was hated by others, what did this long-term worker do here at this time. The meeting of these two strange people made Gao Jin suspicious, so he sneaked home quietly while no one found out.
When I first arrived home, it was already raining, Lin Ma and Ming Yi were packing up the clothes to dry, Gao Jin went straight to the study, and when he was thinking about the strange thing just now, there was a 'sigh' outside, it was Lin Ma who fell.
Then there was another 'knock' sound, Gao Jin was noisy, and he was about to be angry when he opened the door, but he saw Mingyi's face full of tears, and he had long lost his usual spirit, and pleaded and said, "Save Mother Lin, she can't get up when she falls, and I can't help her..." Then he began to cry again.
Although it is the same with tears, it is different from the time of the quarrel, full of pleading, no different from the injured fawn, if it is not bad to be so sad in the future, Gao Jin can't help but be a little soft-hearted, the anger just now doesn't know where to go, and said softly, "It's going to be fine, you go and call a doctor, I'll help her to the couch." ”
Ming Yi really went, Gao Jin walked in front of Mother Lin, the old woman was pitiful, and helped her to the top of the main hall, "Your girl went to find a doctor for you, it is better for you than me." ”
Mother Lin was very grateful to her uncle for helping her over, and after listening to this slightly sour words, she whispered to Gao Jin, "Uncle, I didn't say it, that shop was originally an inheritance left by the old master, and the girl lost her temper with you in the old days, so don't take it to heart." The girl is thinking of your face, the shop has been returned, and the shop will be spent when it is spent, and the rest is enough to spend, and I hope that my aunt will understand the pain in the girl's heart. ”
Gao Jin was said to be in his heart, a little impatient, the shop was spent lavishly, yes, but there is no need for everyone to say a word, and some people are yin and yang and say, 'You are blessed, the shop that was spent has its own old man to redeem it for you'. I just lost face, so I came back and lost my temper, and now I really lose the shop, and it's a little regrettable.
"Take care of your own illness, have three long and two short, and invite another cook, and your girl's silver will be out." After speaking, he went back to the study by himself.
After a while, Ming Yi invited a doctor and prescribed some medicine for bruises, which hurt the muscles and bones for a hundred days, so he could only raise them first.
On the days when there was no money in his pocket, Gao Jin wrote and painted in the study, maybe he was tired of going out to play, and it was more comfortable than going out to play in the mountains and rivers, so he stayed in the study more and more and did not go out.
It's just that the food delivered here is different from the original, and the taste is not as usual, and after two days, I can't help but go to see it, Mother Lin is lying down, it is the dish that Mingyi cooks on the stove.
Originally, it was not easy to say anything about eating ready-made, Gao Jin retreated, who knew that the dishes sent at noon were even worse than the previous ones, either salty or light, so he took the dishes to the hall, An An also looked unwilling, "Are you a dish for people to eat, for those few taels of silver to criticize An An's food?" ”
Mingyi knew that he couldn't get used to eating this thing, so he didn't say it himself, and thought that he had also taken a handle a few days ago, and he didn't take his reproach to heart, but said softly, "I asked Uncle to find it, and it is estimated that it will take two days, and I also know that my cooking skills are not good, so I can only let you take a hand to go outside and get some food back." As he spoke, he untied the brocade bag hanging from his waist and stuffed it into Gao Jin's hand.
Gao Jin checked the silver in his hand, went out, went straight to Wanxiang Building, took some dishes that he hadn't eaten on weekdays, and went back when he passed by the Ma family's house, and saw a few guys entangled in Chunsheng going to the official mansion, and wanted to go up to ask what was going on, but he was worried that the food in his hand was cold, so he went back.
It's rare to have a meal in the main hall, and I can't find anything to say for a while, Gao Jin said casually, I saw Tong Chunsheng and Liang Xian meeting a few days ago, but Mingyi was very happy, and I must let myself go and talk to my uncle.
Gao Jin didn't bother to do things that talk about right and wrong behind his back, and he thought that he had really lost face a few days ago, and now Mingyi said that this matter was related to the uncle's tea garden, and it was an important matter, so he also made an exception and went to the other courtyard.
Ma Bin was in charge of the sunning in the workshop, and when he heard Gao coming in, he went back to the yard. Gao Jin told him about seeing Chunsheng a few days ago, and the other party was really happy. After a few pleasantries, Gao Jin went home, gained respect outside, and felt refreshed.
In the evening, there was a carriage in the courtyard to send the cook, also surnamed Lin, who claimed to be the daughter of the Lin housekeeper and the niece of Lin's mother, who had been helping the cook in the courtyard.
After the new chef came, the dishes at home really improved, although they were not as old as Lin Ma's, they were much more varied, and they were more in line with Gao Jin's taste.
With a satisfied stomach, Gao Jin also softened his temper and moved back to the house.
The new cook is young and strong, and she cleaned up the east wing and came out to make a study, although there is no silver to add new furniture for the time being, and she still uses the previous study, Gao Jin is not very dissatisfied with it, and it is back to the usual state. And because he suffered a loss before, he didn't go to Huanyuan Garden anymore, and he also cut off that group of friends, which made Mingyi much happier.
