Chapter 133
When he got home, He Liang saw that after buying these things, his already not very good-looking face became even more ugly, and he entered the kitchen without saying a word, only He Dawei came out to take care of it, helped the 'girl' take the basin into her room, and took the new dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen and soaked them in clean water, and washed them together after eating.
He Dani followed up in the kitchen and told He Dawei and He Liang that there would be craftsmen to repair the 'doors' and windows in the afternoon, and the dog would send new quilts in a while, and in the afternoon, she would ask her father and stepmother to greet the neighbors, and she would take He Xiaojie to buy some daily necessities in the downtown area.
He Dawei had no objection, he didn't have the face to object, he agreed one after another, and asked He Xiaojie to burn the fire kang in the east house, and specially ordered to put more charcoal to burn the fire more vigorously, and the kitchen would be porridge here for a while.
He Xiaojie ran into the house and took a pinch of charcoal to the kang entrance at the root of the east house wall to prepare for a fire, He Dani followed to help, but after a while, He Dani was choked away by the burning charcoal smoke, this charcoal not only smells bad, but also very uncomfortable to inhale into the respiratory tract, it is really the right decision not to buy it just now.
He Xiaojie Li burned the kang well, added enough charcoal according to his father's words, and then took the remaining bit of charcoal back to the room and put it away, and came out to find the eldest sister to enter the house to rest.
"Xiaojie, go and set up the kang table, we have dinner, and we have 'meat' to eat today." He Dawei found a rag to pad his hands and wanted to bring the casserole into the house.
He Xiaojie jumped into the house again, quickly threw his shoes on the kang, and moved the small square table placed at the foot of the kang to the middle of the kang, at this time He Dawei also happened to come in, put the casserole in the middle of the kang table, He Xiaojie leaned on the edge of the table and sniffed the aroma of braised 'meat' wafting out of the casserole and 'licked' his mouth vigorously.
He Dawei slapped his son lightly on the top of his head and drove him to wash his hands, the drooling look was too ugly.
He Xiaojie reluctantly pulled his shoes out to wash his hands, thinking about the pot of 'meat' porridge, he didn't wash it carefully at all, so he scooped a little water with a water ladle and poured a little water on both hands in turn, and then wiped it on his body casually twice and ran back to the east house.
Soon, Ho Liang came out of the kitchen with a tray with a pickle plate and three small bowls of rice soup on the tray.
He Dani is still in the kitchen 'getting' dishes and chopsticks, she really doesn't worry about the sanitary conditions at home, the coarse porcelain bowl is also counted, and it is used to roll in boiling water, but this chopsticks really make her look uncomfortable, they are so black that they are 'colorless', God knows that they are old goods that have been used for a few years, fortunately, when she came back just now, she temporarily bought new chopsticks, and these old chopsticks were all thrown away after eating.
Because she was afraid that the chopsticks would not be clean, He Dani deliberately rolled the chopsticks in the pot of boiling water for a while before taking them out and entering the house.
He Dani distributed the chopsticks to her family, and she also sat on the kang, and the poor family didn't pay much attention to etiquette, so when He Dawei simply said the word "eat", the three heads were immediately buried in the porridge bowl, and they listened to the sound of snoring. Looking at the cheap family members who had not eaten normal food for a long time, He Dani pursed the corners of her lips, picked up the bowl and ate quietly.
He Dani bought a whole piece of money 'legs', and cut them finely, and after cooking them with the porridge, she could eat the 'meat' foam every time she ate a mouthful of porridge, which made He Xiaojie very excited, and he would scream when he saw a slightly larger piece of braised 'meat', He Dawei smiled when he saw this, and took out a few larger pieces of 'meat' from his bowl and put them in his son's bowl, and He Liang also followed to find 'meat' from the bowl and give it to his younger son.
"Daddy, mother, you eat yours, the 'meat' is enough, don't pick the 'meat' from your own bowl and give it to Xiaojie, his stomach is weaker than your second elder, don't eat him, he has to go to the street with me in the afternoon, don't go halfway." He Dani looked at it coldly for a while, and decisively interrupted this warm family.
"Good, good, we eat, we eat. Xiaojie, do you see, big sister This is the food doctor, who is in charge of how to eat well. He Dawei withdrew his hand, and educated his son with a slight smug 'kiss', and He Liang's face beside him darkened by half.
He Xiaojie nodded as if he understood, took a bite of porridge, thought for a while and asked: "Big sister, you said that eating like this is good for our stomach, so what if we don't eat 'meat' porridge, but eat 'meat' directly?" ”
"Then you'll have to break your 'leg' just by running the hut." Where can the stomach and intestines that have not been stained with oil and water for a long time withstand the sudden invasion of 'fat' oil, they will definitely have diarrhea.
"Huh? Oh, then I'll eat well, and I'll eat whatever my big sister says. ”
Looking at He Xiaojie's sensible appearance, He Dani couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of her mouth, "That's right, listen to my sister, my sister will teach you how to eat, and when your stomach is well-nourished, let's burn your hooves and eat it during the New Year." ”
Hearing the hoof, He Xiaojie nodded wildly, "Okay, okay, big sister has 'meat' to eat when she goes home." ”
He Xiaojie just said unintentionally, but He Liang's ears pierced his heart like a steel needle, his heart hurt, his eyes were red, and he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, raised his hand and pretended to brush his hair, wiped his eyes quickly, and then continued to drink porridge as if nothing happened.
"Come on, add more, hurry up and eat, the porridge is going to be cold, it's dark in winter, you sisters and brothers hurry up to the street after eating, and come back early after shopping." He Dawei laughed and added a spoonful of porridge to each of the two children.
"Dad, you and your mother should also add some, don't patronize us, you are old, you must take care of your health." He Dani also thoughtfully added a spoonful of porridge to He Dawei and his stepmother, which was completely filial to the 'daughter'.
Feeling the intimate care of the 'daughter', He Dawei smiled from ear to ear, but He Liang's heart became more and more uncomfortable, and he was afraid that it would be more embarrassing to cry at the dinner table, so he couldn't bear to bury his head in eating.
When the warm lunch was about to end, the voices of neighbors shouting Aunt He came from the window, and the dog leftovers came to deliver quilts and asked Aunt He to come out and open the 'door'.
The four of them hurriedly finished the last few mouthfuls of porridge in their respective bowls, put on their shoes and ran out of the house to greet the guests.
He Dawei ran to open the "door" latch of the courtyard "door", and He Liang took He Dani to the corner of the house to get bamboo poles and shelves for drying clothes.
The dog left the family to deliver the quilt is the proprietress *** four, the boss did not come, said that he was busy with a job, really can't leave, next time to ask for a cup of tea.
The full set of double-spread and double-covered bedding is huge, and the dog leftovers drove a donkey cart to deliver the bedding, which is still wrapped in white coarse cloth, and the donkey cart is led into the yard, the proprietress and two 'women' stepped forward to help He Liang put the shelf and support the bamboo pole, and the neighbors who followed up took the initiative to untie the burden by the donkey cart, and took out the new quilt with a "bed" and "bed" with a quilt surface, and hung it on the bamboo pole to dry.
"Look at this new big quilt, it's comfortable to 'touch', and it's sweet to cover such a quilt at night." The neighbor's aunt joked while doing things.
"You know again, you've covered a quilt like this?" Someone carried.
"Hey, when I got married, I was also a double-covered quilt, and the 'flowers' on the quilt were all embroidered by me." The aunt is very proud of her scenery back then.
"You said that it was back then, or when you got married, you slept on a new quilt when you went home, can you compare with others?"
"The eldest boudoir 'female' is capable, who in the county doesn't know, look at the many girls who have entered the palace, there are a few like the eldest boudoir 'female' so promising, how many matchmakers have come to Beijing to inquire left and right, and the neighbors have seen it." The aunts and aunts talked about gossip without heart, and no one noticed He Liang's face that was comparable to the bottom of the pot.
He Dani noticed, but she remained silent and let them speak.
The ladies were drying quilts here, and He Dawei took his son to clean up the table, invited the guests to sit on the kang, and the kitchen quickly boiled water.
The quilts have just been arranged on the bamboo poles, and the craftsmen invited by the owner of the miscellaneous store have also arrived, all of them are neighbors on the left and right, and they have greeted each other and said hello.
The master craftsman also drove a car, and there were basin racks and tables that He Dani wanted on the car, and the carpenter was also 'very' good at doing business, so he brought tables of different sizes and specifications for He Dani to choose, and He Dani also picked one more kang table.
He Dani brought the basin rack and table that He Dani needed, helped her bring it into the West Room and put it under the window, and then he was busy repairing the 'door' and window, and the window paper was not reliable unless the window was repaired first. Dr. He ran in and out to greet the two masters, and asked them to go into the house to drink a cup of hot water and sit down and chat when they were done.
He Liang's dried the quilt and went to the kitchen to guard the boiling water, He Dani invited the aunts and aunts to come into the house to sit, and she paid the quilt money to the dog leftovers. turned around and took two packets of jelly beans into the east house to invite everyone to eat, and then stood beside his father He Dawei with a smile on his face and was watched and admired by the neighbors again, before he apologized and retired on the grounds that he wanted to buy on the street, and everyone unanimously praised the boudoir 'daughter' for her many gifts.
When she came to the courtyard, He Dani went into the kitchen to get a basket and a small basket, and then said goodbye to He Liang's family, came out to call He Xiaojie, and carried the basket to him, and the sisters and brothers went out to the street.
He Xiaojie took He Dani to live in the most lively downtown commercial street in front of many alleys, and he has always had to envy others to buy things in that kind of prosperous area, and today bringing his big sister to make He Xiaojie very excited.
He Dani just bought some daily groceries, so she naturally did not go to the main commercial street, but walked around the periphery of the commercial street, which is next to the residential area, and there are mostly daily grocery stores related to food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and sleeping.
He Dani had to buy charcoal first, and when she ate at noon, she felt that the temperature at the bottom was not enough, so she didn't joke about her health.
After asking a few passers-by, I found a shop that sold charcoal, and when I went in, I directly said that I wanted good charcoal that was smokeless, tasteless, and had strong firepower. The guy greeted warmly, and took out a basket of charcoal for He Dani to see, only twenty-five yuan a catty, which is not expensive for He Dani at all, and this money is enough to make clothes for children in the capital.
He Dani asked the guy to burn a short section of the goods for inspection, and the guy did so, so he picked a piece of small thumb size from the basket and put it in the brazier in the store to start the fire, He Dani watched the charcoal being ignited, and waited for a while, seeing that it was indeed smokeless and tasteless, paid to buy a pound and put it in the back basket behind He Xiaojie, buy these trials first, and buy more next time if they are used well.
After buying charcoal and finishing a major event of sleeping tonight, He Dani walked slowly along the street for a while, thinking about what else she wanted to buy as she walked, and accidentally saw a cloth shop, handed it in and pulled a piece of hemp cloth to make a face towel.
The guy only looked at the clothes and didn't look at the people, mistakenly thinking that He Xiaojie was He Dani's follower, so he just greeted He Dani and cut the fabric for her, completely ignoring He Xiaojie.
He Dani saw He Xiaojie's eyes looking at the colorful 'colored' cloth on the stage without blinking, and then looked at the patched clothes on He Xiaojie's body, after all, she still couldn't bear it.
"Xiaojie, go pick a few pieces of fabric you like, and make a few new clothes for the whole family in a few days."
He Xiaojie immediately walked to the counter happily, and there were guys on the side who followed closely to greet him, holding a piece of fine cotton cloth and enthusiastically selling it, and He Xiaojie couldn't make up his mind when he looked at it.
"Doesn't the girl's accent sound like a local? From the capital? The guy who cut the fabric for He Dani asked tentatively.
"I'm a local, I just entered the palace since I was a child, and I only came back today, so I don't have a local accent." He Dani smiled lightly.
"Into the palace? Are you out of the palace***? What's your last name? "The guy who welcomes the delivery in the store every day is a gossip information station in itself, and when I heard He Dani say this, a name immediately floated in my heart.
"My surname is Ho."
"Ouch, then aren't you the big girl of Dr. He's family?" The man's eyes lit up, and he thought he was right.
"Exactly."
"The shopkeeper, this girl is the big girl He from Dr. He's family." The guy shouted "door" loudly, and everyone in the store, from the shopkeeper to the guy to the customer, gathered around.
"Oh, I've heard a long time ago that Dr. He has a big 'girl' who works as an errand in the palace, and it seems that she is also a doctor?" The way of the shopkeeper.
"It's just a food doctor."
"The girl is really modest, the food doctor is the first of the four doctors, I have the ability to endure it, and Dr. He is a blessed person." The shopkeeper has some knowledge.
"The shopkeeper is polite, thank the shopkeeper for his good words." He Dani is another salute.
The onlookers immediately praised and praised Miss He for being well-behaved and would have good luck in the future.
He Dani saluted again and thanked everyone.
After a long greeting, the onlookers were too addicted, and then they slowly dispersed, and the shop resumed normal business, and the shopkeeper and the guy worked hard to sell goods to He Dani.
He Xiaojie was completely dizzy, and looked at He Dani pitifully.
He Dani said to the shopkeeper in a few words, and next time she will bring her parents to pick up the materials, so she took He Xiaojie to leave the store.
The two sisters and brothers continued to walk on the street, buying some odds and ends, and He Dani even bought herself a makeup dowry and a hand mirror.
He Xiaojie watched his eldest sister go all the way to buy all the way, not caring about the price at all, he was surprised and envious at the same time.
Over the years, he has also heard people talk about the ability of the big sister, and the neighbors say that as long as the big sister comes back to the house, she can turn over. He didn't know what it meant to turn over, his family was already in danger when he was born, so he would walk and the 'door' at home was closed, he didn't live a good life for a few days like his brother and two biological sisters, the previous rich days had nothing to do with him, he had been living in poverty for as long as he could remember.
The only good days were a few years ago when the family promised the eldest sister a 'door' family affair, and the man's family gave a large dowry. But it didn't take long for the family to be in a complete predicament after his brother learned badly, and he could only salivate at the smell of other people's 'meat'.
Now the big sister came back one day and ate 'meat' at noon, maybe this is what adults often say about turning over, it's good that the big sister can go home.
He Xiaojie looked at He Dani's side face and thought ignorantly
Entering the 'Door'
