Chapter 12: Acacia flowers

The business of the walker is very smooth, and everyone is smiling and happy every day.

At noon that day, Aunt Liu, who came back from the county, rarely found Shen Qingru with some hesitation.

"Aunt Liu, what's the matter?" Shen Qingru saw that she didn't seem to be able to speak, so she took the initiative to greet her.

Aunt Liu paused before she said, "There is something I want to ask Sister Shen." ”

Shen Qingru said: "Aunt Liu, you say, as long as you can do it, I will definitely help." ”

Aunt Liu's face was happy: "My mother's family has a brother, and life is difficult, I want to beg my sister to let him learn to make a car with Uncle Wang, so that he can fill his stomach." ”

Shen Qingru suddenly said: "I remember marrying Brother Chang's sister?" After getting along for many days, Shen Qingru also had a general understanding of the situation of Aunt Liu's family.

Aunt Liu nodded: "Yes." That's them. ”

Shen Qingru smiled: "This is a good thing." I don't think there's enough manpower. Aunt Liu, you have such a solemn face, I thought something was wrong. ”

"Hey, hey," Aunt Liu responded twice, and also felt that her behavior was funny: "Then I'll let Chang Shan pick people up." ”

The village where the Liu family is located is even more remote, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, so Chang Shan went for more than half an hour before bringing people.

In addition to Chang Huaihua and his wife, there are also their two children. The eldest one is called Willow, and he was born in the same year as Changshan, and he is also sixteen years old. The second Liu Qi, one year younger, is fifteen years younger.

The clothes on the four were all patched, and there was no luggage, just two packages. At first glance, it looks like a fugitive.

Chang Huaihua is about forty, although the years and long-term hard work have left traces on her face, but she can still see the beauty of her youth.

To be honest, Shen Qingru still admires her very much. With the Zhang family in charge, Chang Dazhuang was pulled up, and he resolutely changed his relatives and married a good wife for his younger brother. This kind of tenacity and courage is really rare.

Chang Huaihua had already learned what had happened from Chang Shan's mouth, and when she saw the two earthen houses in the fence courtyard, her heart was sour, and she wiped her tears and said to Aunt Liu: "That's fine." I've suffered you all these years, and I can live my life well in the future. ”

Aunt Liu's eyes are also red, since marrying into the Chang family, she rarely goes back, her two younger brothers, one went to Linxian County, and the other went out to wander and has not returned. Now there is only one brother and one left, and it is not very embarrassing.

Chang Dazhuang and Liu Yi were sad when they saw their daughter-in-law, they were both stupid people, they didn't know how to comfort them, and they were in a hurry.

At the critical moment, you have to rely on Aunt Lan: "Don't stand at the door, go into the house." ”

Aunt Liu found that people were still stopped at the door by herself, so she hurriedly welcomed people in.

At this time, I remembered that my house has two broken houses, and I took people over so quickly, where do I live?

After Liu Yi found out, he smiled honestly and said, "Don't get in the way, let's just build a shed in the yard." ”

Liu Qi also said: "I used to hunt with my father, and I also slept in the cave. "The two brothers of the Liu family are very similar to the Chang family, they are both elder brothers who are silent and younger brothers who are lively.

Shen Qingru and Aunt Liu looked at each other, and were embarrassed, and the pillar who got the news said: "You can live in our house first, there are exactly two empty houses at home, and you can live in it after cleaning it up." ”

Aunt Liu hesitated: "Won't this be too troublesome?" ”

The pillar grinned: "What's the trouble, it's convenient to live together." ”

The Liu family naturally had no objections. In the evening, Aunt Liu cooked a table of good dishes, Chang Dazhuang went to the town to get two pots of wine, and invited the Zhuzi family, and two tables were set up in the small courtyard, one table for men and one table for women, lively and warm.

After eating a meal until the willow tops on the moon, everyone dispersed unsatisfied.

Even Xiao Baozi seemed to be infected by this joyful atmosphere, dancing with his hands, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Aunt Lan teased him with a rattle, and tightened his clothes for him, the weather is getting colder, and it will be a little chilly. A cool breeze crept in through the cracked walls. "I'm afraid that this house won't survive the winter, so I still have to build two new rooms."

Shen Qingru was settling accounts, and when he heard this, he thought about it and said, "I plan to rent a shop and yard in the county, and I'll go and see it in a few days." ”

Aunt Lan was taken aback: "Go to the county?" ”

Shen Qingru said: "Yes, I calculated, the money I saved from selling pastries and cars these days has been two hundred taels." Rent for a year or two first, it's definitely enough. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Although Qingshui Village is good, it is a little inconvenient in the end, it is better to see a doctor and buy things, and Ji'er will go to school in the future." ”

Aunt Lan was still a little hesitant: "I'm worried about ......"

Shen Qingru sighed and said, "Aunt Lan, I know what you're worried about. However, this matter is not something we can hide from if we want to. If those people really want to find us, whether it is in the county or in the village, it is the same. ”

Aunt Lan struggled for a long time before she relented: "Just do what Miss said." Anyway, where is Miss, where am I? Even if I work hard, I will protect the safety of Miss and Brother Ji. ”

Shen Qingru looked at Xiao Baozi with a soft gaze, the only child in this world who was really related to her. He said firmly: "No matter what happens in the future, I will definitely protect you." ”

Aunt Lan didn't seem to expect her to say this, and was stunned: "Miss......"

Shen Qingru smiled: "Besides, it's hard to say which is right and which is wrong at the beginning, our soldiers will cover up the water and cover it up, and no longer let people bully it." ”

Aunt Lan let out a heavy "um". "That's how it should be."

The next day, the father and son of the Liu family followed Uncle Wang to learn to ride in the car. Chang Huaihua also helped out with Aunt Liu.

Shen Qingru chose a day, got on an ox cart, and walked out of Qingshui Village for the first time.

Aunt Liu knew her plan and was very supportive. In the past few days, Chang Shui has been paying attention to it, and he has also asked people everywhere. I really found out about a place.

There is a study on West Street, and the owner is old and plans to sell it. The location is not bad or bad, and the place is big. is Shen Qingru's goal this time.

However, I heard that the store wants to sell out, and I don't know if I will agree to the short-term rental.

When I arrived in the county, it was still early, Shen Qingru helped Aunt Liu sell pastries for a while, and estimated that the study was open, so she was taken by Chang Shui.

Along the way, sure enough, the flow of people is decreasing, but it is within the acceptable range. The study is facing a small bridge, and it is very elegantly arranged.

The more Shen Qingru looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and after explaining his intentions, a guy went to the backyard to invite an old man out.

The old man is about sixty years old, and his body is very strong. Wearing a long gown, he has a very literati temperament. After listening to Shen Qingru's words, he regretfully said that he only wanted to sell and didn't want to rent.

This shop is so desirable, Shen Qingru didn't want to give up easily, and was trying to find a way, when he suddenly saw a painting and a notice hanging in the main hall, and said, "What you said above, is it true?" ”
