Chapter 351: Don't Empty Your Purse
Zhong Meiren, who was said a few words by Hemai, was much more honest during the day, and then took off her shoes and curled up in the corner of the bed with her knees, looking very lonely.
Li Changan went to talk to her, but she ignored it. Okawa and Natsuka went to talk to her, but she ignored her. Rokuro asked her if she was thirsty and hungry, but she still ignored her.
It was only when He Mai brought the bun over and asked her if she wanted to eat another one that Zhong Meiren's eyes lit up. However, she still didn't reach for it.
He Mai persuaded for a while before Zhong Meiren picked up a bun and ate it in small bites.
The customers are constantly on the day, although there is a small episode by Zhong Meiren in the middle, but it does not affect the business of Yongyi porridge and bun shop.
When the stall was about to close, He Mai looked at the street office opposite, thought for a while, and went to discuss with Liulang: "I'll go and see Zhang Kuo, our shop is still used by other people, I haven't seen him for the New Year, so I have to bring him something anyway." ”
In the morning, she brought two boxes of pastries from home that she had bought the day before, and there were still a lot of ready-made sorghum wine in the store.
Rokuro groaned and said, "Shall I go with you?" ”
"No......," Hemai thought for a moment, "it's on the other side, I'll just go myself." ”
She took her things, "I'll be right back." ”
Directly into the courtyard gate of the street division, He Mai rushed into the house.
There were two street divisions in the room with some faces, and they were stunned when they saw Hemai.
The three of them looked at each other, and He Mai asked first, "What about Zhang Kuo?" ”
"You're looking for Zhang Zhutou?" The two of them were relieved, "Zhang Zhutou was transferred back to the yamen in the town, and he will not be here in the future." ”
"Transferred back?" He Mai smacked his tongue, "When is it?" ”
"Years ago, I applied for a transfer back years ago."
He Mai thought for a moment, put his things down, and left them here for the two new street divisions.
Seeing that she was the owner of Yongyi's porridge and bun shop, the two street divisions naturally knew about the plaque given by the county last year and the personal visit, and their attitude was also very kind.
He Mai exchanged a few polite words with them, and then returned to the shop empty-handed.
"Zhang Kuo has been transferred," she said to Rokuro, "I went back to the town to be a catcher a year ago, and I didn't know it." ”
"Zhang Kuo is a talent, so naturally he will not be willing to be a street director in a small village." Rokuro said as if in anticipation.
He Mai didn't speak again, turned around and greeted Zhong Mei and Xia Hua, and went home together.
Xia Hua got out of the car in Hongjube Village, and when she saw that the ox cart was leaving, she called out to Sister Hemai.
"What's wrong, Summer Flower?" He Mai asked.
"This, this ......" Xia Hua ran a few steps to the cart cow and handed He Mai a small red purse.
"This is what I embroidered for Brother Xu's child," Xia Hua whispered, "You can help me transfer it to him, okay?" ”
Xia Hua's face was poignant, with some indescribable hope.
He Mai saw that there was a cute cat embroidered on the purse, and the stitches were very delicate, and he sighed silently in his heart.
Xia Hua may have let go of Xu Jiang. Maybe she just wanted to think of her name for a moment when Xu Jiang received this purse and asked about the origin, and then she would be satisfied.
He Mai nodded and put the purse away: "Okay, I will definitely give it to him." Xia Hua, his child, is called Xu Poxiao. ”
"Xu Poxiao? I know, I know," Xia Hua nodded and took a few steps back, "Sister Hemai, I'm going back." ”
When He Mai saw her turn and run towards the village, a small tear fell from the corner of her eye.
She sighed, a little heavy, but much more relaxed.
When she returned home, He Mai first settled Zhong Meiren for dinner, and coaxed her back to the house to sleep, so she was free and went back to the house to calculate the income of the previous day.
On the first day of the reopening of the business, although it was not as popular as last year, it was still the same as last year. He Mai counted the copper coins in the small copper box, and said with a smile: "One day, eight hundred and thirty copper coins." ”
Rokuro smiled, "It seems that I will be able to go to the town to buy a house this year." ”
"Yes, you forget, we still have five acres of land at home," said Hemai, "and since we have already bought them, we don't have time to plant them at the moment, so we rent out four acres to the tenants." The remaining acre, when will the two of us go to turn it over and plant some beans and sweet potatoes. ”
"Okay," Rokuro agreed with a smile.
Now the two of them are living a good life, if they can earn this silver every day, plus the income from bamboo rats and renting land, they will not be able to enter the account with more than 20 taels of silver every month.
He Mai hugged the copper box, and his heart had already begun to fantasize about living in a big mansion.
In the next day, Xu Jiang was invited by Liulang to come over again, He Mai originally planned to let Xu Jiang take advantage of Zhong Meiren's sleep to treat her pulse, but as soon as the door was opened, he saw a pair of shining and black eyes in the door looking out - Zhong Meiren heard the movement and had already looked out of the door.
Xu Jiang was afraid of being pushed by Zhong Meiren that day, so he didn't dare to touch it, so he turned around and gave the herb before leaving.
"Brother Xu, this is for you!" He Mai caught up with him and handed over the purse of Xia Hua embroidery.
"Who embroidered this? It's pretty good. Xu Jiang looked at the purse in his hand, with a playful expression on his face.
"It's Xia Hua," He Mai whispered, "and I specially gave Dawn an embroidered purse." ”
Xu Jiang blinked suspiciously, "Xia Hua? Who is it? ”
"......" He Mai flattened his mouth, "My sister-in-law's sister, have you forgotten?" ”
"Ahh......h Oh......" Xu Jiang cried, "I remember, it's that little pepper!" It's the noisy one! ”
If Xia Hua heard Xu Jiang say this about her, I am afraid that she would cry and laugh.
He Mai said helplessly: "People are kind enough to embroider Dawn, you can accept it." ”
"Of course take it, don't be in vain!" Xu Jiangle said hehehe.
He Mai looked at his face as if he was fine, and thought to himself, thanks to Xia Hua's purse entrusted to her, if she came by herself, she was afraid that she would cry to death when she went back!
A man who can't even remember his name hurts people's hearts.
Liulang went to send Xu Jiang, and when He Mai was making dinner in the stove room, Qin and Chunhua came.
Chunhua has been more than five months now, and the Qin family takes care of it very carefully on weekdays, and the work of going to the stove room to make a fire and cooking is not touched by Chunhua at all. He Mai understands that it is not easy for the Qin family, and often sends some ready-made hot meals to the Qin family and Chunhua, saving them from manipulating it themselves.
In the past two days, Zhong Meiren has come to the house, and He Mai has never bothered to deliver food to the Qin family.
Seeing that Qin Shi and Chunhua were coming, He Mai wiped his hands and hurriedly came out of the stove room.
"Take your sister-in-law out for a walk!" Qin Shi said with a smile, "I ate more for dinner, and I should eat when I come to see you!" ”
