Ziqing's third aunt replied two days later, saying that Baofeng's father was last winter, in order to supplement the family, partnered with others to do some small business, but he didn't expect to be deceived, and the family also lost everything, and also sold two acres of paddy fields. [~]

Now her mother has her three younger siblings, the younger sister is fifteen years old this year, the younger brother is eleven, and the other is only eight years old. A large family tenanted two acres of paddy fields from other people's families, opened up some wasteland, and with the subsidy of Baofeng's family, they barely survived.

"In this case, why don't I take a look at Baofeng tomorrow, and the third aunt will accompany me on a trip, I don't know where her family lives?"

"Okay, tomorrow you come to my house first, and I'll wait for you at home."

Early the next morning, Ziqing discussed with Lin Kangping, and went out with Xiaofen Lin Xing, Xiaoqing stayed at home to watch the children, picked up a basket of eggs and a piece of fabric for children to make clothes, found Ziqing's third aunt, and took Ziqing to Baofeng's home.

Ziqing saw that the dilapidated house in front of her, although it was a brick house, had collapsed in half, and that half was supported by wooden planks, it seemed that it had been a long time, and there was a grapefruit tree in front of the house.

"This is the old house of her husband's family, which has long been unoccupied, and the family has been divided into them, and they have to move." Aunt Santang said.

"Are you at home?" Aunt Santang shouted.

Xiaofen pushed open the door, Baofeng was very surprised when she saw that it was Ziqing, and said with a smile: "My sister still looks kind like this, I didn't expect my sister to come to see me." ”

Ziqing was dressed as a village girl and combed a simple bun, so Baofeng said kindly. Ziqing followed into the house, and looked at the house, although it was old, the things were still neatly placed and clean, and I was a little happy in my heart.

Xiao Fan put down the things, and Baofeng noticed that Ziqing also brought things over, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How embarrassing is this?" My sister came to my house for the first time. (Leaves·~..) I don't have anything to entertain my sister, how can I bother my sister to break the bank? ”

"You should call me sister. How old are you this year? Ziqing looked at this little woman, who had just gotten married when she saw her the year before last. It's still a fresh flower, and it's only been a little over a year and it's dried up a lot.

"Eighteen, where's my sister?"

"I'm two years older than you, by the way, I'm here today to find you. I want to find someone in the stove room at home, I heard about your mother's house, I want to ask your mother can come? I only need to get up early every day to go to work on the stove. Cooking three meals a day, as long as she doesn't miss the meal, she still has some time to go home to take care of the children, and she doesn't have to live in my house at night, and she pays 20 yuan a day. Ziqing asked.

"It's good, sister, but my mother cooks, I'm afraid you won't be used to it. Our family is a country family, and my mother knows only that. Baofeng pinched the corner of his clothes and said.

"Whew, it's okay. Ziqing said, there are more than a dozen people cooking for her maids, I don't know if your mother can be busy? If you have a nimble hand or foot, it won't take you more than three hours a day. Ziqing's Aunt Santang said busily.

"Don't worry, this sister, my mother does things quickly and cleanly, I don't dare to say anything else, we have been practicing since childhood." Baofeng hurriedly raised his head and looked at Ziqing.

"In this case, why don't you take us to your mother's house today, and discuss it and go to work tomorrow." Ziqing said.

Baofeng was naturally happy to hear it. She found a small basket and asked, "Sister, can I pick up a few eggs for my mother?" ”

Ziqing nodded, Baofeng picked up almost twenty eggs, and Xiaofen stepped forward to help her carry them. Xitang Village is on the opposite side of Dongtang Village, and it is not a few steps away, which is a large area of ridge road. Most of the paddy fields have already been planted with seedlings, but there are still farmers bending over to work. When I entered Xitang Village, there was an ancestral hall first, and there was a large open space in front of the door, where many people were drying rape. [.]

Baofeng's mother's house is much better than Ziqing imagined, and the house is clean and tidy, but only her fifteen-year-old sister Jinfeng is at home and is making purses, and Baofeng's mother took her two sons to collect broad beans.

"Sister, why did you send us something again, my mother knows about you and has to say you, you are not alone now, how can you owe the child? We can deal with each other, and I can still make two purses a day to sell. Jin Feng said with red eyes when he saw the egg handed over by Baofeng.

Ziqing carefully looked at the little girl in front of her, wearing a moon-white half-used smock, a little short, a thick braided twist to the back waist, probably because of the age, the family did not let the family go to the ground, although the skin is not delicate, it is still white, the facial features look quite delicate, and a pair of big eyes are even more colorful.

Baofeng hurriedly studied Ziqing's words, and Jin Feng saluted Ziqing and Ziqing's three aunts, and entered the house to give up her seat.

After everyone sat down, Jin Feng hurriedly called her mother back. Ziqing saw Baofeng's mother, who looked like she was forty years old at the age of thirty, but from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, she could vaguely see that she was an outstanding looking person when she was young, and now she looks neat and tidy, although her clothes have patches, they have fine stitches.

Presumably on the way, Jin Feng had already told her about Ziqing's intention, and when she saw Ziqing, she hurriedly put down the broad bean stalk on her back, patted the soil on her body, and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed, I don't have any preparations, the house is messy, waiting for me to boil some water for you to make tea, but there is no good tea." ”

"Auntie, don't be busy, I'll leave after a few words." Ziqing said busily.

Ziqing said the intention again, Baofeng's mother thought about it and said: "Such a good thing, I never dreamed that it would be my turn, it's just that I don't know if the food I make is in line with other people's tastes, it's better to do this, the owner, tomorrow I will go to try the work for a day, if everyone thinks they can make do with it, I will do it, if it is not delicious, the owner must not have any worries, just say it." ”

Ziqing thought about it and agreed, and said the daily meal, told her the time to go to work, and didn't stay longer, but the other party thanked and thanked Ziqing and sent Ziqing out of the village, and Baofeng stayed at her mother's house.

Ziqing saw that Aunt Santang lowered her head and didn't know what to think, and asked, "Aunt San, what do you think of her family?" ”

"It seems that this family is relatively easy to get along with, I just said that looking at Baofeng like this, the family must not be wrong, Ziqing, what do you think of her sister?"

"Jin Feng? It's not bad, she looks good, her hands are skillful, she looks at the purse she makes, it's also exquisite, and listening to her talk to her sister, she is also sensible. ”

"Yes, I think it's good too, what do you think of Gamete?"

"Ziwen, isn't Ziwen going to take the Xiucai exam? Ziwen is willing? "Ziqing is really a little surprised, Zijun and Zixin are looking for good objects, how could Ziwen want to find a farmer, and it is a farmer with a heavy burden.

"Ziwen is seventeen years old this year, and he can't be admitted to the exam, I like this girl, she looks good, she acts well, our family is not from a good background, Ziwen can be a showman who is also the top of the sky, and you still have to find a down-to-earth person who won't cause trouble."

Aunt Santang naturally has calculations in her heart, this girl is good on the one hand, her mother can come to Ziqing's house to work, and the work in the field can still be taken care of, so that it is enough to support the family. Her mother's salary can be saved, the two sons are still young, and the cost of getting married for a few years is enough, as for Jin Feng's dowry, Aunt Santang is not bad now, the picture is the other party's character.

Ziqing naturally didn't know that Aunt Santang had thought so far, she thought she was just talking, and she didn't think deeply.

Ziqing returned home and saw that Xiao Zi was choosing vegetables at the door, so she asked casually, "Why didn't you go to the school today?" ”

"The old man said, the old lady is already well, she can cook some food by herself, and she doesn't need me to go in the future." Little Purple Road.

Ziqing paused when she heard this, and asked, "What did you say, the old lady can let you go?" ”

Ziqing still knows a little bit about Tian's family, she didn't like to do housework when she was young, and even when she has a daughter-in-law, she doesn't have to do it herself, not to mention, Xiaozi still takes vegetables and vegetables every time she goes, how can she put a ready-made cheap and not take advantage of it, which can save trouble and money.

"What the old man said, the old lady naturally didn't do it, but the old man said that he had listened to the old lady's words before, and he had come to this point today, and in the future, if I wanted to listen to the old man, it seemed that I didn't remember what else he said."

"This idiot, I sent you away, and I explained you carefully, I can't do such a thing." Ziqing thought, she knew that this would be the case, so she let Xiaoqing go.

Xiao Zi was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound, Ziqing saw her like this, and she didn't say anything, Xiao Zi was really not clever enough, but she was very suitable for the work of the stove room, she belonged to the hard-working type, and Wang Pozi said that she still had some talent for cooking.

It seems that the old man really wants to change and doesn't want to be a drag on Zeng Ruixiang. Ziqing thought about it carefully, the old man's behavior in the past two years was indeed a little different, especially the night when Zeng Ruixiang and Zeng Ruiqing had a conversation in the school, and the kindness shown to Zeng Ruixiang in the old man's eyes made Ziqing also moved.

Ziqing was thinking about this, Shen came over, and she also heard that the old man had sent Xiaozi, so she came to ask.

Ziqing repeated Xiao Zi's words, Shen thought for a while, and said: "That's okay, your grandma is still in good shape, and the meal for the two of them should still be able to answer correctly, and we will talk about it when it is really too big to move." But your grandmother, I heard that she has been not feeling well these days, and your cousin sent me a letter, and I was going to go back and take a look. ”

Ziqing was startled when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Does it matter?" It's better to find a good doctor from Anzhou City, and she must not have an accident with her old man. ”

For the He family, Ziqing sincerely regards her as her own grandmother, although she has been filial piety over the years, Ziqing feels that what she has learned and received from the old lady is far more than what she has given.
