Gentle front foot out of the gate of Zhaofu, back foot wanted to find Xiaohuan, but she looked down at her body, felt that this dress to go to the restaurant is too eye-catching, not to mention that she has never been out of the door since she crossed over, I don't know how many young women in this world go on the street alone, if not much, go out must be eye-catching, think about it, or obediently follow behind Ruhua Niang, go to the "home", recognize the road, so as not to know how to go back.

Along the way, she observed the street market in the city, and felt that the road was quite smooth, except for a few main streets that were paved with bluestone slabs, most of the rest of the trails were loess roads, which were paved with layers of gravel and fine sand, which looked clean and tidy, but I didn't know if it would be muddy after the rain.

There are many shops on both sides of the market, and there are also some places where there are stalls for small traders, and the stall owners are all shouting in their voices, except for a few who are busy, so as to attract business. But these are not the things that Wen Wen is most concerned about, she only pays attention to the pedestrians passing by, as expected, most of the pedestrians on the road are men, mixed with a lot of women with combed buns, of course, there are some unmarried women from **** small households, but most of them are followed by older women, and there are fewer single and alone.

It seems that this place also pays attention to women's doors and does not go out of the door, and sighed softly and secretly, and suddenly felt that it was a troublesome thing not to marry, and it was a little inconvenient to move.

Walking through a street and turning into a cramped alley, she saw that most of the houses on this side were houses with small courtyards, and there were many crazy children running in the alley, and suddenly asked: "Mother, do you know where there are vacant houses for rent?" ”

Ruhua Niang's footsteps paused, and she turned her head to look at her suspiciously: "Why did you remember to ask this?" ”

Gentleness weighed it in her heart for a moment, and felt that it was best not to tell her about Xiaohuan, when she first discussed with Sister-in-law Liu, it was because she had not redeemed herself and left the house, and she had no choice but to consider letting her help place Xiaohuan, but now that she is free, Xiaohuan's matter, it is better for one less person to know, at least you don't have to worry about Ruhua's mother accidentally leaking her mouth and leaking the news, so she smiled: "I think that the family is small, I am going back, it is inconvenient to live, it is better to find a house with a small courtyard to move." ”

When she said this, she was also a little hanging in her heart, I don't know if there are any loopholes in the words, but if the Hua family is so poor, it stands to reason that she can't afford to live in a good house, right? So I still said it head-on.

As soon as she said this, Ruhua Niang immediately burst into tears and sighed: "Our house leaks rain in summer and winds in winter, and since your father went, it has become more and more dilapidated, why don't you want to move to a more spacious residence?" It's just that you don't have enough money, and now that you have redeemed yourself, you have more places to make money, so save some if you can, even if you stay up until your brother is older and can work to earn money, you have to prepare a dowry for you, and you will not be blinded by your in-laws when you marry out in the future. ”

Since seeing Ruhua Niang, for the first time I heard her consider her daughter's future, Wen Wen couldn't help but sigh in her heart, in the end, it was the mother and daughter who connected her heart, she still put a little bit of thought on Ruhua, but if she was so poor that she couldn't do anything, it is estimated that her daughter would still be thrown aside, and her son was supreme, but she still had this mind, and Ruhua was not too wronged.

But Wen Wen thought about it, I think it's better to move a place to live, after all, she is not the original Ruhua, she doesn't recognize any of the neighbors who live near her home, it's easy to leak the stuffing, and the Ruhua family has lived in that place for a long time, and there is basically no secret at home, a little bit of turmoil, maybe the neighbors will know, it's better to move to a strange place, start a new life, it's more appropriate, even if it costs more, for safety, it can only be spent, so I still persistently asked: "Rent a small courtyard, How much money does it cost to live in a three-room house? ”

Ruhua Niang thought for a while and said: "This is not an accurate number, if it is closer to the street, it will be expensive, if it is remote, it will cost three or five hundred yuan a month." ”

Hearing her say this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it's not too expensive, and you can afford it for the time being!

"In fact, if there is silver, it is better to live in the pawn house." Ruhua Niang added another sentence, and asked gently, "Why?" But as soon as the words came out, she regretted it, after all, she didn't know this kind of common sense of market life, Ruhua shouldn't know it, right?

Sure enough, Ruhua Niang glanced at her strangely, but fortunately she didn't ask, and said to herself: "Spend a dozen taels of silver, live in a pawn room, and live in a few years, and then find a place to move when the people repay the money, the principal is a lot of money, and you don't have to pay rent, wouldn't it be better?" ”

It turns out that pawn house means mortgage house! Gentle finally figured it out, but she didn't have so much money to live in a pawn house, not to mention that she was not like the ancients, she hid it in the house when she got some gold and silver, and she hated to use it to press the bottom of the box for decades, and take it out to replace the coffin when she was old. If she has money, she has to find a way to make the money come back to money, or in case of inflation, the money is worthless, who will she cry to? So he shook his head and said, "We don't have money to pawn the house, let's rent one!" ”

"Do you really want to rent?" Ruhua Niang was surprised.

"Yes!" Wen Wen nodded very firmly, she not only wants to rent a house, but also rents two rooms at a time! But this can't be said to Ruhua Niang, she just said: "Mother, don't worry, I know how to spend the money, I can't give it to you, but I won't let you and your brother starve in the future." ”

As she spoke, she secretly let out a long breath, feeling that the burden on her body was heavier, but in conscience, she really couldn't leave the Ruhua family alone, or wait for Wen to grow up and earn money to support herself, and then transfer the burden to him! Hengjian has only been in the past two or three years.

The two talked all the way back to the Wen house, because there were people in the house, the door was wide open, gently lifted the curtain and went in, first smelled a slightly damp musty smell, mixed with the complex smell of human breathing, and the slightly sweet smell of rotten cabbage, which was really uncomfortable, so he hurriedly opened the curtain for ventilation, and put up the window, and then looked at this narrow and dark room, which was full of debris.

"Hey, why did you open the window, the heat in the house was let out, in case your brother got cold, how good is this!" Ruhua Niang hurriedly wanted to close the window, but gently stopped her and said: "The air in the house is still good to circulate, it is not easy to get sick, so close the window later." ”

While speaking, she saw at a glance a thin boy half-lying on a bed in the room, about twelve or thirteen years old, about the same age as Xiaohuan, with unkempt hair, yellow face, and a clean appearance. ”
