Chapter 126: Door-to-door
Xiangmo is very well-behaved today, and obediently followed him to the kitchen to do chores. With her daughter's help, coupled with Qiao Guan's own fast movements, a simple dinner was soon ready.
Looking at this shabby plate of scrambled eggs and a bowl of vegetarian soup, Qiao Wan felt a little guilty. But the kitchen is already empty, there are no decent ingredients, and I have to wait for a few days to go to He Ziyi's house with embroidery to exchange some chickens and ducks to open meat.
"Xiangmo, let's make do with it tonight, and tomorrow my mother will make you roast chicken to eat, okay?"
The daughter shook her head, "Mother, don't need it, you are working too hard, will you let Xiangmo cook for your mother in the future?" β
Qiao Wan touched her little head, "Good boy, as long as you are obedient and grow up healthy and peaceful, your mother is happier than anything else." "It's a little harder.
"Mother, Xiang Mo knows that he is wrong, Xiang Mo will never run around in the future - but that officer uncle is really handsome today!" Speaking of this, her big eyes twinkled, as if there were stars.
Qiao Wan burst out laughing, "What do children know, eat and eat." β
"Oh."
Although there was only one dish and one soup, and there was not even a single meat, the mother and son ate it very deliciously, as if it were some kind of delicacy. Although their lives are poor, they are all very happy, and each other is the best comfort for each other.
After eating, Xiangmo also volunteered to wash the dishes, Qiao Wan was willing to let her delicate little hands suffer, and hurriedly carried her to the bed and fell asleep.
She got into the quilt and rolled and rolled with a smile: "Mother, I'll give you warmth first." β
Qiao Wan hurriedly stopped: "It's cold, don't move, I'll come back when I wash the dishesββ"
But when she came back after cleaning up, her daughter had slept soundly, and she was a child in the end, no matter what happened to her, she could sleep as soon as she touched the bed.
It was cold in the house, Qiao Wan hurriedly got into the quilt and hugged his daughter's body to keep warm, without her chirping voice, Qiao Wan was still a little unaccustomed. Thinking in a daze, from tomorrow, they will live with He Ziyi, she knows what it means, it means that they have confirmed the name of husband and wife, and the world's vision is more powerful than everything.
The heart is very chaotic, messy and complicated emotions are intertwined, it's not a taste, Qiao Wan hurriedly closed his eyes and forced himself to fall asleep quickly, but outside the window, it rained again, and the sound of the rain fell on the bluestone slab, so noisy that she couldn't sleep, and she was worried about tossing and turning her daughter, and she didn't dare to move, listening to the wind and rain outside the window for a while, I don't know how long it took, and finally fell asleep.
She had a very light sleep, and woke up the next morning, and when she got up, she saw that the rain had stopped, and the already fresh air in the mountains had been washed by the rain, which was even more refreshing like a sweet spring.
Xiangmo was still sleeping, Qiao Wan first came out of the courtyard to fetch water to wash his face, heard a few knocks on the courtyard door, opened it and saw that it was He Ziyi who was guarding the gate of the courtyard early in the morning, with several large and small boxes piled up under him, and when he saw her come out, he touched his head embarrassedly and said hello, "Morning." β
Coming over so soon?
Qiao Wan grinned reluctantly, helped him carry the luggage in, he hurriedly brushed her hand away, and said I would come by myself, the moment she touched her hand, she took it back like an electric shock.
He Ziyi withdrew his hand, and after moving the things into the study, he was not busy cleaning up, looking around inside and out about what was still lacking at home, and carefully wrote it down on the bamboo slips, "I will go to Nanjun City to purchase it in a while, and add all these things, and there is no hurry for anything else, but this charcoal fire and meat, but it is not lacking in a day." β
"I'm sorry for you, I'll write down these accounts first, and wait-"
"No, that's what I'm supposed to do." After He Ziyi finished speaking, he hurriedly took the bamboo slips and left, not even giving her a chance to reply. Looking at it like this, does he already regard himself as the male owner of this family? Qiao Wan felt very uncomfortable, shook his head, didn't want to think about it anymore, and went to the kitchen to make porridge and make breakfast.
Because of the rain yesterday, the firewood was a little wet, not easy to light, Qiao Wan fanned and blew, wasted a lot of energy to light the fire, first put the rice and water into the pot, and then prepared to wash his face and hands, halfway through, and heard a few slight knocks from the courtyard door.
Why did He Ziyi turn back again? She was a little irritable, and it seemed that she was still living a clean life. I didn't bother to wash my face, so I went over and opened the courtyard door for him.
But the person outside the door is not He Ziyi, it is the strange and familiar face, the husband she hasn't seen for seven years - Zhou Yu.
Qiao Wan was hit for a long time and didn't react, and stood there, like a fool.
And he was obviously shocked, and called out in disbelief, "Qiao Guan?!" β
Seven years later, he had grown a beard on his lips, and he looked so old that she almost didn't recognize him.
And I don't think it's much better, I'm disgraced, and I even have several patches on this dress on my body, which is extremely embarrassing.
The years were like mountains and rivers, mercilessly lying between them, reminding her that this was not seven years ago. She lowered her head slightly and changed the sentence "General." β
"I came to this mountainous area to survey the landscape, and when I saw a house here, I wanted to come and ask for a glass of water, but I didn't expect it to be you." He seemed to explain.
So close, she could see his chest under his white winter coat lying together, his familiar masculine breath spraying on her head with the sound of talking, knowing that what he said was an excuse, she still turned sideways and let him in, "Please come in." β
He stopped and looked into the courtyard in confusion, "Isn't your husband here?" β
"Ah...... No, no......" Qiao Wan was a little confused.
He nodded with a complicated look on his face, and walked past her into the courtyard and into the house.
Different from the yard that has been carefully decorated with flowers and plants, this house can be described as a house with four walls, only a simple one, two puff mats, a few rolls of bamboo slips, without any ornament decoration, and what is more terrible is that in the cold winter, the house is as cold as the outside.
He couldn't imagine that she had lived in such a place for seven years.
Qiao Wan then followed, holding a teapot and two wooden cups, beckoning him to sit down on the pu mat.
The two pampas are usually used by her and her daughter, so they are next to each other, Qiao Wan hesitated, and felt that it would be deliberate to take them away now, so he sat down next to him.
She poured him water, and felt him look at herself with his head sideways, and she didn't know if the face he had just washed was clean. Said slowly: "Before you have time to boil hot water in the morning, the general will drink it." β
She keeps calling herself a general, is it a life or a suspicion? She is obviously the wife she is marrying, why has she now become someone else's wife and the mother of someone else's child?
