The Splendid Garden was deserted, and as soon as I entered the house, a bad smell of smoke and cold air rushed to my face.

Their room, everything is far from what it used to be.

Once decorated with a warm and comfortable room, countless lampposts were lit at night to illuminate the room, but at this moment, in order to save fuel, only a dim small lamp was lit, only illuminating a place around, and the corner in the distance was dark.

The splendid and exquisite bronze mirror that had been placed under the east wall was gone, and all the chests were empty, and her jewelry, her beautiful dresses, and her valuable fur clothes were all gone.

There was still a summer gauze tent hanging on the bed, and there were a few big holes that had not been repaired yet, and there was no tent structure, only a strip of cloth was used to tie it at random. The bedding she laid was not as thick and warm as the one she used in the mountains.

What kind of world is this? Xia Ruixi's heart was heavy and uncomfortable, she knew that she should be content, compared to the family of the second young master Ou, at least she still had her life, Ou Qingjin was also intact, and Da'er slept quietly in her arms.

There was only one woman in the room with a mother-in-law cooking. The mother-in-law was in charge of cleaning, burning charcoal, and carrying hot water, while the woman was making the bed and busily baking the bedding on the smoker.

Seeing Ou Qingjin and Xia Ruixi coming in, both of them stopped moving. Mrs. Mian Sheng took the mother-in-law to greet the two: "Hello to the fourth young master and the fourth young grandmother." ”

Mrs. Miansheng is about thirty years old, and this should be the outer room of the second young man. This time, the second young man was gone, and the second master Ou was kind enough to take her mother and son back, which can be regarded as a serious aunt. So he invited her to sit: "I don't know what to call it?" ”

The woman sat crookedly and smiled faintly: "My maiden name is Tong." ”

It looks very well-behaved, very decent, and very honest. But Xia Ruixi knew that she would not be such a simple person, how could she be a simple person who could control Er Shao's body and mind for more than ten years, and let Er Shao not hesitate to fall out with his family and wife?

Xia Ruixi thanked her for helping to clean up the room, and chatted a few more words, Aunt Tong got up and left: "The hot water is outside, and the manpower at home is really pitiful, and there is no way to draw people to serve the fourth young and the fourth young grandmother, so the two of them can only do it themselves." I also have to look at the trade winds, this kid doesn't have a lot of books, day and night, and he can't be forced to rest. ”

Xia Ruixi handed Da'er to Ou Qingjin, and sent Aunt Tong out with a smile: "Don't worry, we also came over like this in the mountains." You go and get busy, I'm tired of you. ”

When Xia Ruixi came back, Ou Qingjin had already placed Da'er, mixed it with hot water, and prepared the jasmine, pancreas, and handkerchiefs that Xia Ruixi washed his face: "You wash it first." "He was used to doing these things when he was in the mountains, and now he is familiar with them.

Xia Ruixi washed it first, then gave him a good pair of hot water, rubbed the handkerchief and handed it to him: "You can wash it." ”

Ou Qing didn't move, standing aside and looking at her, Xia Ruixi didn't know why: "What's wrong?" ”

Ou Qingjin stretched and looked at her and said, "I'm so tired, so tired." ”

Xia Ruixi laughed and stood on tiptoe to wipe his face: "Bow your head!" Like a child. If you want me to wash your face, just say it. ”

Ou Qingjin said: "There is a big difference between what you thought of yourself and what I opened my mouth to come. You didn't pay much attention to me all this time, and your eyes were full of that kid. ”

A few days ago in the mountains, when Xia Ruixi was making out with him, Da'er suddenly cried, and Xia Ruixi pushed him away without hesitation and went to coax Da'er instead. That's it, he can wait. But Xia Ruixi finally came back, but he was not interested, perfunctory him twice, fell asleep, and thought he was inconsiderate of her, which made him very depressed.

Yo, are you still jealous of your own son? Xia Ruixi smiled and pinched Ou Qingjin's nose: "That kid? That boy is your son. He's young, in fact, in my heart, you are the boss, and he is the second. ”

Ou Qingjin was obviously very proud in his heart, but he still didn't give up: "What boss, second, what are you coaxing me?" He is the boss, you are the second, and I am the third. ”

Xia Ruixi raised his feet and surrendered: "I review, it's all my fault, I will definitely have a bowl of water in the future." ”

When the two washed their feet together, Ou Qingjin suddenly said: "Don't worry about that matter, don't be sad." As soon as Hua Lao Hu came back, I took him to the third brother and made it clear to the third brother. In any case, you can't be asked to carry this black cauldron. ”

Xia Ruixi said: "You're not afraid that he will have an opinion about you because of this?" She remembered that Ou Qingjin had always attached great importance to her relationship with her brothers.

Ou Qingjin sighed: "That's no way, what should be said clearly is better than letting him hate you because of it." Discussed with Xia Ruixi again: "The New Year will be in half a month, and now it is no better than before, my father and mother are sick, my eldest brother and sister-in-law are not in good health, and I have to take care of my father and mother. ”

Xia Ruixi thought for a while: "There are few people in the family this year, and it is an extraordinary period, so there is not so much attention, the key is to solve the problem of eating and heating." Let's go to the courtyard on Wenyuan Street and take a look, if the food in the cellar is still there, the big problem will be solved. As for the money, we have some to bring, and if it is not enough, should we think of taking out the gold? ”

Ou Qing shook his head: "The situation is not so stable for the time being, it is not appropriate to move that money now, let her bury it first, and don't tell others that there is such a sum of money." When it stabilizes in the future, I'm afraid we can only rely on it to turn over in the future. I also have to think of leaving some of the grain in the cellar to plant, and when the spring comes, I try to plant all the land at home. ”

Xia Ruixi responded, and the two discussed how to manage the family in the future, before snuggling up to each other and falling asleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, Changshou came to Ou Qingjin and Xia Ruixi to make a big gift, saying that he would go to the master, Mrs., the young masters, and the young grandmothers to kowtow and thank them, thank the masters for living his mother's life, and express his loyalty to Ou Qingjin, saying that he will follow the Ou family in the future, and he will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire.

What happened was like this, although Ou Qing had explained to the Wu family in advance when he took Changshou away, he must take care of the blind old lady who lived a long life. But the Ou family suffered, his wife's eyes were inconvenient, and he encountered siege, war, and hunger, and he didn't have much hope, thinking that his mother hated the second lady Ou back then, and she was blind and inconvenient, and no one took care of her, so she must have starved to death or died of cold.

But in such a difficult situation, Wu also kept his promise, did not think that his wife was cumbersome, no matter how much he ate, he always gave her a little evenly, so that she survived. Therefore, Changshou is very grateful to the Ou family, as a slave, although he can't help himself and can't choose his master, but when he does things, he can make decisions no matter how much effort he spends.
