Chapter Forty-Eight: A Hastily Moved
Moving is a tiring thing, that night, Gentle and like a flower mother packed up some soft things, the rented house has ready-made furniture, so those rough and stupid things at home, Gentle is not going to want. She was originally going to get up early the next day, taking advantage of the fact that the neighbors had not yet gotten up, she quietly moved the house first, so as not to leak the news, but she was too tired to run around the day before, and she slept late in the morning.
"Mother Wen, are you going to move?"
"Yes! It's just that these household items in the house are too bulky to carry, so I invite everyone to come and take a look, and if you are useful, just give two money, and move it in! ”
"I heard that your daughter has come back from redemption?"
"It is rare for the grace of the lord and wife of the Zhao family to redeem her body at the original price! I only came back yesterday. ”
"No wonder I said you were moving all of a sudden! You are leaving our poor alley and enjoying your daughter's blessing! ”
"Mother Sun, look at what you said! How can I live a blessed life? It's just a hard time. ”
"Don't say that, I look at your daughter, she is a blessed person, born with such a good appearance, and she is smart, and she will be designated to marry a good family in the future!"
"Isn't it? Let's just say that in our alley, it's not just your family who sells children and daughters, but you heard whose boy and girl have the money to redeem themselves? It must be your daughter who is well-behaved, did well in the Zhao Mansion, and was rewarded, so she got ahead! ”
The flower-like mother chatted with the neighbors, and her voice was so loud and loud that she couldn't connect her with the cramped woman she had seen for the first time. Hearing these words, she was so anxious that she hurriedly dressed herself, ran out of the back room, pulled her mother into the house, lowered her voice and said angrily: "Didn't you say yesterday that you would get up early and leave quietly, why did you recruit so many people!" ”
"Didn't I want to sell the belongings in the house and exchange them for two dollars to supplement the family?" Wen's mother couldn't understand why her daughter didn't let her voice go if she just moved? She felt sorry for the money, got up early and saw that she was sleeping softly and soundly, and after thinking about it, she didn't feel any obstacles, so she took it upon herself to call someone.
"You!" Gentle and angry so that his chest was suffocated, but there were so many people around the door of the house, and some things really couldn't be said, not to mention that people had already called, even if they were all blown away, the news had already leaked, and they all blamed themselves, and they didn't aggravate her tone yesterday and told her not to make a noise! It's too late to regret it now, so I have to put my hand away, stand aside and watch coldly, and let her dispose of it.
The neighbors entered the door and looked around, this one said he wanted a table, the other said he wanted a bed, and he distributed all the things in a moment, and someone said to Wen Wen: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have grown into a big girl!" Look at this appearance, it's as handsome as a flower, does your mother promise someone for you? If not, my sister-in-law will be a matchmaker for you, right? ”
Gently glanced at the woman's mouth full of big yellow teeth, barely squeezed out a stiff smile, and then turned his face away, and ignored her under the pretense of talking to Wen Gang.
Seeing that she was gentle and didn't answer, the woman couldn't come down with a sneer, so she had to turn her head and talk to Mother Wen, "Where are you moving to?" ”
Mother Wen just wanted to answer, but she felt that someone was pulling her clothes twice behind her, so she had to swallow the words that had been hung on the tip of her tongue, and said vaguely: "Far away, far away......"
The woman received two cold receptions in succession, and became more and more embarrassed, and only said, "I will often come back to see the old neighborhood when I have time in the future." He flattened his mouth and turned his head.
It was easy to send away this room, and her gentle face immediately sank, and then she looked at the more than 100 copper coins in Wen's mother's hand, and shook her head even more. For her, time is money! Wasting this early morning, just for this more than 100 dollars, and leaking a lot of things, is it worth it?
Mother Wen saw that Wen Wen's face changed, and her heart immediately became worried, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her approach, but for some reason, now as long as her daughter's face sank, she panicked, this situation is the same as when her husband was alive, she saw her husband's heavy face and panicked!
"Mother, since you have done this, it's okay." Seeing her cautious appearance, Wen Rou sighed in her heart, and didn't want to say anything about her anymore, but just instructed: "There are two things now, you have to do what I say, and you can't be wrong!" ”
"You say, you say! I am you! Mother Wen saw her daughter's relaxed face and immediately smiled.
"Gang'er, come and listen." Wen Gang, who was gnawing on the pith cake on the side, called Wen Gang, and continued: "The first thing is that if someone asks me if I am married in the future, you only say that you have promised someone, and that is the words made up when I asked my mother to redeem me last time, and I will not get married until next year." ”
Mother Wen and Wen Gang nodded in response, and said gently: "One more thing, that is, Xiaohuan lives with us, and we have to change her name, let's call her Xiaoxi, after moving over, if the neighbors ask, just say that she is my cousin, if people outside the neighborhood ask, don't care." ”
After the two agreed, Mother Wen thought about it carefully, and had something to say, so she looked at her gentle face before saying: "These two things depend on you, just say that you have promised others, so who will come to propose marriage in the future?" You can't never get married, can you? ”
"Let's talk about the future, maybe next year, we won't live in this city." After Wen Wen finished speaking, she turned around and busily packed up her things, she had already planned to leave here, the farther away from the Zhao Mansion and those who used to know Ruhua, the better, but she was temporarily stumped by Sister-in-law Liu's matter, and she couldn't go.
After a busy morning, she finally moved into her new house, and seeing that there was no one in the alley at noon, she called Xiaohuan out of the old widow's house and let her meet Mother Wen and Wen Gang. Wen Rou also explained some precautions that he thought of when he moved to the three of them, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief and settled down temporarily.
The poor people in this world do not have the habit of eating three meals at home, and they often get up early to make a big pot of rice, eat it around the middle of the day, and then heat up the leftovers around mid-afternoon, and then heat up the leftovers, and eat again. Gentle is used to eating three meals, Xiaohuan has been staying in Zhao's mansion, eating a lot of meals, not used to this two-meal system, just Wen Gang's body is much better, but he still needs more nutrition, Gentle decided to eat three meals at home in the future, the rice dishes are bought by Wen's mother, and she does it.
After all, gentleness is a chef, and no matter how simple the dish is, the taste is very different from that made by ordinary people. For this lunch, she simply made a pot of collapsed tofu, fried a shredded pork cabbage, and ate Wen Gang well, filling two large bowls of rice to the stomach, and Wen's mother was there to eat while feeling distressed about the oil of the stir-fried vegetables, after all, the edible vegetable oil here is only sesame oil, almond oil, cranberry oil, xanthium oil, black tree seed oil and so on, and the output is not large, the gold is very expensive, if it is meat oil, the common one is only a kind of lard, and the price is not cheap.
