Chapter 329: Cellar Rats
I thought you were going to stay in the capital all the time, thinking about when you would take our family over and let Xiaohui make some noble sons, but I didn't expect you to come back, it's really disappointing. ”
Mother Qian glanced at Qian Qianqian, and put down Qian Yao in her arms, Qian Yao was already able to walk, he looked round, he was a small ball, his body was white and tender, and the flesh on his face was piled up when he smiled, and his eyes were squeezed into a slit.
Qian Yao is the least bitter among their sisters and brothers, basically did not suffer much, not long after he was born, Qian Qianqian made a fortune in business, plus Qian's mother is spoiled, so everything delicious on weekdays is exhausted in his stomach, and his appearance is not very similar to Qian Fen.
When Qian Fen was young, the Qian family was poor, and they often couldn't even eat their stomachs, and they ate the last meal when they were young, so they all looked at the yellow muscles and thin muscles, although their conditions are good now, they can't make up for their childhood losses, so although Qian Yao is young, this size can catch up with Qian Ash.
"There's nothing good about the capital, it's still comfortable to live in a native place, mother, don't think about it anymore, stay in Lianzhou in peace."
Qian Qianqian frowned lightly, it was helpless to put such a mother as Qian Mu on the stall, although Qian Mu was stingy and shallow, but she didn't have any thoughts, and it was because of this that Qian Qianqian felt that it was difficult to do.
"What are you talking about? People go to a high place, you can finally climb up to General Xiao, don't take this opportunity to find a good future for Xiaohui, Brother Yao can also be polished in the future, but you want to stay in Lianzhou, do you want your two younger brothers to be unproductive? ”
Qian's mother has been thinking about this in her heart, and what she is thinking about is these two sons, Qian Qianqian is easy to deal with, anyway, it is a daughter, and if she marries in the future, she can still get a good bride price, but her son is absolutely sloppy.
"Being an official is not as good as you think, in the future, Xiaohui and Brother Yao will let them do whatever they want, this matter cannot be forced, besides, they are still young now, who knows what the situation will be in the future?"
Qian Qianqian couldn't help but be a little annoyed, she didn't want to stare at Mother Qian like this, but there was no way, Mother Qian's repeated idea of beating Xiao Mohan made her very disgusted.
"Okay, the more I talk about it, the more angry I become, if you don't want to help, forget it, you and General Xiao, what's going on?"
Mother Qian didn't want to anger Qian Qianqian, now figure out the relationship between Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan is the most important, as long as Qian Qianqian has the opportunity to marry into the General's Mansion, even if it is to be a concubine, it is the best choice.
"General Xiao takes pity on me for my hard work, so take care of me a little more on weekdays, nothing else, don't think nonsense, if you annoy the general, it's not something we can afford."
Qian Qianqian remained silent, deliberately leaving herself and Xiao Mohan clean, there was no superfluous look on her face, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of indifference.
"There are so many businessmen in this Xiao country, how can the general take pity on you? If it doesn't mean something else to you, how can I take care of you like this? ”
Mother Qian didn't believe it at all, she came from her youth, Xiao Mohan was extraordinary, and there was no woman by her side, she suddenly treated Qian Qianqian so well, if she didn't mean anything else, she wouldn't believe it.
"Don't you look at how many women are doing business outside? Everyone is a man running around outside, our family has no choice, my father died early, Xiaohui and Brother Yao are young, so I can only come, General Xiao Bodhisattva is heartfelt, I miss a woman, it is not easy to support a family, what's wrong with this? ”
Qian Qianqian raised her head, pursed her red lips slightly, pretending to be aggrieved, she was originally born delicate, this frowning, a puffed mouth, I saw pity.
When Qian's mother heard this, she couldn't help lowering her head, her old face was red, and she was choked speechless, even if it was a rural family, her daughter's family should be doing laundry, cooking, and needlework at home, and there was absolutely no reason to go out and show her face, their family dragged Qian Qianqian down, what reason did she have to question Qian Qianqian here?
"By the way, I see that the pots and stoves in the kitchen are covered with a lot of dust, these days, don't you have any cooking at home?"
Qian Qianqian suddenly remembered this, and glanced up and down at Qian's mother, Qian Yao ran around the house, making "giggle" laughter from time to time, but it did not ease the atmosphere in the room at all.
"The hot pot restaurant has a good business, and we have been eating in the restaurant all this time."
Mother Qian explained angrily, in this way, Qian Qianqian was relieved, she thought that there would be an accident in Lianzhou during this time, but now it seems that it is calmer than she thought.
"I'm going to clean up the kitchen and see what's going on in the store." Qian Qianqian didn't want to stay here any longer, so she raised her feet and walked out, Xue Yi followed her footsteps, her face was a little ugly.
"Miss Qian, you just came back, this car is tired, and the cleaning matter, let me come."
Although Xue Yi is here to protect Qian Qianqian, she is actually Qian Qianqian's servant, if this is not the General's Mansion, there is absolutely no reason to let the master do it himself.
"This house shouldn't have been cleaned up for a long time, you can't be busy alone, besides, haven't you been on the road for so long? So let's do it together. ”
Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, looking very friendly, and walked straight into the kitchen, there was a musty smell inside, and the window was also hidden.
She went to the well to fetch a bucket of water, found a rag, and carefully wiped the stove, while Xueyi went outside to sweep the fallen leaves in the yard.
"Ahh
I saw dozens of rats scurrying around in the pot, only fat, jumping off the stove, and jumping into the corner in a blink of an eye, making bursts of "squeak" sounds, which made people's scalps tingle.
Qian Qianqian's whole body was stiff, her face was pale, and she didn't dare to move, although in Qianjia Village before, rats were also something she was used to, but it was the first time she saw so many rats jumping out together, and when she was surrounded by her, it made her scalp tingle.
"How can there be so many rats? Even if you don't live for a few days, it shouldn't stop there. ”
Xue Yi protected Qian Qianqian, and she was also very puzzled, Qian Qianqian had only been gone for a few months, and she hadn't been gone for three years and five years, not to mention that there were still people in this house, even if there was no one, rats should not be so rampant.
"It's broken, my grain."
Qian Qianqian suddenly came back to her senses, thinking of the grain stored in the cellar, and her heart suddenly moved.
She threw down the rag and hurried to the cellar, and as soon as she went there, there was a strange movement under her feet, and fat rats jumped up and down under her feet, as if she was used to the environment here, and was not afraid of people.
The sack of grain was bitten by those rats and all the holes were broken, and the grain in it was scattered all over the ground, but it was basically eaten empty by these rats, leaving only a pile of empty shells, no wonder the rats here are so fat and strong, and they have eaten for months with their bellies open, and it is no wonder that they are not fat.
Xue Yi looked at the scene in front of her, and was also very surprised, she really didn't expect that there would be so many rats in this cellar, and Qian Qianqian's accumulated hard work was really ruined.
"Miss Qian, don't worry, it's just food, it's nothing."
Xue Yi saw that something was wrong with Qian Qianqian, and immediately went over to help her, and comforted her on the side, but it couldn't relieve Qian Qianqian's emotions at all.
"No, it's not right, there can't be so many rats in this cellar, someone must be making trouble in the dark."
Qian Qianqian took half a step back, her heart finally calmed down, her eyebrows were frowned, her expression was extremely solemn, her hands were clenched into fists, and a layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
Out of the cellar, Qian Qianqian wiped the sweat on her forehead, she really got goosebumps when she saw so many mice just now.
Qian Qianqian went straight to Qian's mother, Qian's mother has been at home all this time, so she should know something about mice, she has to ask clearly.
"What? Quite a few rats? No way. When Qian Mu heard this, she was also surprised, although she had not cleaned up the house for a long time, but it was only a few months, and it should not be so serious.
"Did any suspicious people come in during my absence?"
Qian Qianqian stared at Qian's mother tightly, her eyes were sharp, but it made Qian's mother a little frightened, maybe Qian's mother didn't expect that the eldest daughter, who was originally a cowardly person, would one day become so powerful.
"No, there has always been only our family at home during this time, and there is not even a ghost."
Mother Qian shook her head suspiciously, Qian Yao bit her fingers, and was so frightened by Qian Qianqian's face that she didn't dare to make a sound, so she could only look at Mother Qian with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful.
"What the hell is going on? Aren't they just a few mice? Buy some rat poison and come back. ”
Qian's mother pretended to be relaxed, although she was also suppressed by Qian Qianqian, she still tried her best to maintain her face as a mother, and she couldn't be compared to a yellow-haired girl no matter what.
"The grain in the cellar has been eaten up by rats, and it is about to go through the winter, where do we get the rice to cook?"
Qian Qianqian's eyebrows frowned, although she still had a way to deal with the food, but she just wanted to remind Mother Qian and make Mother Qian realize the seriousness of this matter, so that Mother Qian could not say it so easily.
"What? Isn't it so serious, is there really no food at all? ”
Qian's mother was very surprised, she kept staring at Qian Qianqian's eyes, and she was also worried about her future, she finally lived a good life, she didn't want to go back to the time when she couldn't eat enough.
"The rice jar is empty, the grain in the cellar is gone, where is the grain?"
Qian Qianqian sneered, raised her head, her eyes were a little sparse, and Qian's mother's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
"How's that to be? Brother Yao is still young, and Xiaohui and the others also have to eat, but they can't be hungry. ”
Mother Qian was also anxious, only then did she realize the seriousness of the matter, but she couldn't come up with an idea, so she could only be anxious and count on Qian Qianqian.
"I can't help it, there are so many rats in the house, it's also beyond my expectations, in the final analysis, it's also your responsibility."
Qian Qianqian deliberately pushed this matter onto Qian's mother, after so many years, Qian's mother should also take some responsibility, and she shouldn't be counted on for everything.
