Chapter Twenty-Three: The face is cold and the heart is hot
"Buying food on the street?"
Tong Shuangshuang's eyes immediately lit up.
Every time the Tong family encounters a festival, they will go to the market twenty miles away to buy things, and at this time, the family will bring one or two children with them.
When he was young, Tong Shuangshuang didn't remember, but since he had a memory, such a good thing would only be obtained by a few children in the big house, and even Tong Shuangying, who was in the third room, also went to the school a few times, only himself.
"But sister, it's getting dark, more than 20 miles away, there are many wild wolves in the back mountains, I heard that they always haunt at night, and we don't dare to copy this shortcut!"
Thinking of this, Tong Shuangshuang's eyes darkened again.
When I was bullied by a few children in the big house before, my sister would also lie to herself with such words.
Tong Shuangxi couldn't see his younger brother look so disappointed.
"My sister has money, let's hire a car!"
When he said this, Tong Shuangxi thought about the money he had hidden.
Tong's eyes lit up, and he said with excitement on his face: "The ox cart of Uncle Lao Neng's house in the East Village is stable, and the price is fair, and people in the village who go out or have urgent matters look for him!" ”
Tong Shuangxi has observed this Liuli Village, which is not very rich, but not small.
Such a village has a history of at least 100 years to gather so many households, and it should not be difficult for an old village to hire a car.
Just do it, Tong Shuangxi accepted Tong Shuangshuang's wet clothes and helped him to go to the house of Mrs. Wang in the west of the village.
"Ahem...... Sister...... I feel much better cough and can walk on my own! Seeing his sister carefully supporting herself, Tong Shuangshuang was a little embarrassed.
In the past, his sister also cared about him, but the two sisters and brothers had never been so close, the elder sister talked little, and she was shy, even on the day she was sent to the Wei family, she just held her hand and cried and told a few words.
Tong Shuangxi didn't think about it so much, thinking about what to buy on the street.
"Auntie!"
Tong Shuangshuang saw Mrs. Wang, who was sitting in front of the house chopping vegetables and feeding the pigs, and shouted respectfully.
Everyone in the village said that her aunt was an ominous person, but Tong Shuangshuang thought that she was a good person, a person as pitiful as herself, no, a more pitiful person than herself. Her father and mother died, but she still had a sister, and her aunt died of a man and a child, leaving her alone.
Mrs. Wang stared at Tong Shuangshuang a few times, and saw that his face was normal, only a few coughs occasionally, so she didn't say anything, and just chopped wild vegetables to feed the pigs.
"Auntie, my brother's cough is always bad, I want to go to the town to find a doctor to show him to feel at ease!" This is also what Tong Shuangxi has planned in his heart for a long time.
Mrs. Wang was stunned.
"The doctor said just look at it! Is it my wife who has that spare money or you, the girl, who have the wealth! ”
The matter of the Wei family, Mrs. Wang also heard about it, if it weren't for the embarrassment, then the mother and son of the Wei family could rent the broken temple in the village?
Tong Shuangxi just wanted to speak, but the princess said again: "After you left, the mother and son of the Wei family came over!" ”
"What did they say?"
Tong Shuangxi sighed in his heart, this Wei family is also a trouble!
"I didn't say anything, just looked left and right and left!" Mrs. Wang couldn't help but roll her eyes when she thought of the disgusted look on the old lady Wei's face.
"Huh! It's good if you don't say anything, it's good if you don't say anything! Tong Shuangxi was full of happiness.
Seeing Tong Shuangxi's stupid appearance, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but splash her cold water and said: "Although it's not a good family, it's better to be pregnant, leave people here, and don't ask a word!" ”
Tong Shuangxi understood that Mrs. Wang's words were for herself, but at this time, she really didn't want to live with Wei Fang's mother and son.
Not to mention anything else, Tong Shuangxi always felt that this Wei Fang's family was not so ...... to the child in his belly
The specific Tong Shuangxi can't say, it stands to reason that the child in his belly is the only child left by Wei Fang's dead eldest son, even if Wei has no feelings for his cheap concubine, the child in his belly is her own grandchild...... Her lukewarm attitude is not right to think about it.
Before the matter was figured out, Tong Shuangxi had to have more eyes.
"When I was in the Wei family, I saved some money, which should be enough to ask Xiaoshuang for a doctor!" Tong Shuangxi thought about taking one step at a time.
Mrs. Wang didn't say anything anymore, but the speed in her hand increased a little.
"Xiaoshuang, you sit down first, and my sister will go boil some hot water first."
Boiling water is true, and taking out the money is also the purpose, but everything is not stable at this time, and Tong Shuangxi doesn't want anyone to know where he hides the money.
"I scooped up brown rice in the pot, steamed some hard food and took it to eat on the road!" Mrs. Wang instructed Tong Shuangxi.
Tong Shuangxi knew that Mrs. Wang was cold-hearted, so she agreed and went to the kitchen.
First lit the fire between the stoves, and took advantage of the fact that the princess asked Tong Shuangshuang outside the house, but he didn't pay attention to this, Tong Shuangxi hurriedly dug out the silver money that he had hidden before and took out thirty Wen, and then buried and hid the rest.
"Your stove is filled with towering trees, if the rice in the pot is mushy, you can only drink the northwest wind on the way!"
"When the water in the pot is dry, you have to change the thin ......!"
"You Nizi, you've only been to the Wei family for more than a month, and you can't even make rice......!"
"It's obviously the maid's life, so I have to be the ...... of that young lady's body!"
……
The beads of sweat on Tong Shuangxi's forehead became more and more, and he didn't dare to blink when he looked at the stove......
She is reluctant to burn this fire, and she really doesn't have this experience in such a delicate job as steaming rice......
Fortunately, Tong Shuangshuang saw that his sister was so anxious that her face was sweating, so she hurriedly went over to help her light the fire.
"Sister also forgot how to steam rice, it doesn't matter, next time my sister can't remember anything, just tell me, I'll tell my sister!"
Between the stoves, Tong Shuangshuang pulled the extra firewood out of the stove and whispered to Tong Shuangxi.
What a good brother of his own!
Tong Shuangxi couldn't help wiping his sweat and thought.
The three of them found a few bamboo tubes and filled them with water, rice, and pickles pickled by Mrs. Wang.
Qin Lao Neng's family lives in the easternmost part of the village, and if you want to go to his house, you must pass through the Tong family.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang also knew the embarrassment of Tong Shuangxi's sister and brother, and without waiting for Tong Shuangxi to speak, she asked Tong Shuangxi to take Tong Shuangshuang to the entrance of the village to wait for her.
Tong Shuangxi thanked her gratefully, pulled Tong Shuangshuang and walked towards the village.
It was already evening, the sun was only a big silhouette, and it was completely devoid of the heat of the afternoon, and the gentle summer breeze blew away the broken hair between Tong Shuangxi's forehead, making her add a little different sass.
Tong Shuangshuang looked at his sister in front of him, a little stunned.
"Does my sister have a child in her belly?" After asking, he thought about it and said, "Like the third aunt!" ”
Tong Shuangxi didn't think about how to explain this matter to the nine-year-old Tong Shuangshuang, but he heard him say another thing.
