Chapter 144: Disheartened
Cui'er pulled Qian Yugui with one hand, and let Mrs. Qian into the house, while Lian Qingshan went to the carriage and helped the money shopkeeper out, the north wind mixed with snowflakes hit the face, which made people can't help but feel chills, but in front of the door of the Lianjia house, it was another hot scene.
"Come on, come on, help Brother Qian here!" Cui'er pulled Mrs. Qian into the house, and after letting Mrs. Qian sit down, she hurriedly got on the kang, took out a brand new quilt to spread on the kang, and took the pillows that had been purchased at home and put them on, beckoning Lian Qingshan who was walking towards the house.
"Sister-in-law, you help your eldest brother to lie down and rest for a while, I'll bring the ginger soup in, and you all drink a bowl to get rid of the cold, and we'll have dinner." Cui'er said to Lian Qingshan, and then hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring out the ginger soup she had just cooked, and brought out a big bowl steamingly.
"Brother Qian, sister-in-law, you drink ginger soup to get rid of the cold, it's snowing, if you catch a cold, it's terrible." Cui'er scooped a bowl of ginger soup from the big bowl with a spoon and handed it to Lian Qingshan, asking him to help the shopkeeper drink it, and she scooped another bowl and handed it to Mrs. Qian.
With the hot ginger soup in his hand, Qian Lishui felt that his stiff and cold body instantly warmed up a lot, but when he thought of the family he admired wholeheartedly, it turned out to be such a despicable scene, Qian Lishui felt that there was no hope for this day, and even the ginger soup in his stomach couldn't warm his cold heart.
Qian Lishui drank ginger soup and closed his eyes and lay on the kang, although his heart was a dead ash, his body was also warm, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead.
Mrs. Qian looked at him lying there with a better face than just now, so she didn't worry so much about his body, she took the ginger soup from Cui'er's hand, but did not drink it herself, but beckoned her eldest son Yufu who was standing on the side and asked him to drink it.
"Sister-in-law, don't be busy, you drink the ginger soup first to get cold. I still have a bowl here, and my two nephews will definitely not be left behind. Cui'er looked at Mrs. Qian still taking care of her husband and son in such a state, and her kindness to her was another layer in her heart, with a smile on her face. The movement in his hand kept moving, and he handed another bowl of ginger soup to Yufu.
"Thank you......" Yufu is a reading child, who looks white and clean and polite, he glanced at his mother, saw that she nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand, respectfully took the ginger soup, and said thank you shyly.
"This is your Aunt Cui'er, that's your Uncle Qingshan...... There are two smaller ones in this house, maybe they are playing with your brother outside. Later, I will see you and know each other, the eldest daughter is called Da Niu, and the younger son is called Xiaohu...... "Mrs. Qian saw that the eldest son had finished drinking ginger soup, but he didn't know anyone, so she introduced to Yufu. But he was smart and didn't say that the big girl and the little tiger were the children of Lian Qingshan and Cui'er.
"Aunt Cui'er, Uncle Qingshan." Yufu put the bowl on the edge of the kang and respectfully saluted Cui'er and Lian Qingshan respectively.
"Good boy, sit down and rest for a while." Cui'er looked at Yufu's very polite appearance, and liked it very much in her heart, and felt that the children taught by the money shopkeeper and his wife were very good.
"It's not early, I'm going to see where the big girl Yugui and the others have gone." Cui'er said as she was about to walk outside, and the snow was falling heavier outside. Standing in the house, you can hear the sound of children frolicking outside.
"How can you let you run around with your body in your arms, it's still snowing outside, Yufu, you go out to find it, Yugui, this kid has been to this yard, but he likes to play with the big girl and the little tiger, maybe he will run to play with the big girl." Mrs. Qian looked at Cui'er's waist very round. didn't dare to let Cui'er run around, so she hurriedly grabbed her and asked Qian Yufu to go out to find someone.
"It's okay, then it's hard for Yufu to run, and they will play in the yard left and right. You tell the big girl, hurry back to eat, or the braised pork will be cold. Cui'er saw that Yufu answered the call and went out to find someone, and she was not busy leaving, after all, she was a person with a body, and it would not be good if she slipped and fell, so she said to Yufu with a smile.
Cui'er looked at Qian Yufu and nodded obediently to find someone, turned her head and took Mrs. Qian's hand, "Sister-in-law, let Qingshan take care of Brother Qian, sister-in-law's cooking skills are very good, I haven't eaten it for a long time, this time you come to my house, you have to listen to me, let me be blessed to eat two more bites, let's go to the kitchen together to fry two more dishes, and talk while eating later." ”
"Okay, I'm bothering you!" Since Mrs. Qian is here to defect to Cui'er, it is naturally impossible not to eat at Lian's house, but she stays here with a dead face, and Cui'er is so kindly invited to eat now, naturally it is not the same day.
Mrs. Qian was moved in her heart, and she didn't want Cui'er to be tired more, so she followed Cui'er to the kitchen, tied an apron and rolled up her sleeves, and scrambled an egg and a cabbage with Cui'er's assistance.
Cui'er thought that the money shopkeeper's health was not good, maybe he couldn't eat dry steamed buns, so he cut the meat and boiled a porridge, and after a while, the dish and porridge were done, listening to the sound of giggling and laughing in the house, Cui'er knew that the children were back, the two looked at each other and smiled, and came into the house with steaming dishes.
When the two entered the house, they saw that the children were already sitting around the table, salivating at the dishes on the table, and Lian Qingshan was sitting on the kang, helping the money shopkeeper look at the wounds. The shopkeeper was lying on the kang with his eyes closed, and although his face was not too ugly, it was definitely not good.
"It's time to eat!" Cui'er said to the children in the house with the vegetable plate, and when she put the vegetable plate on the table, the three of Da Niu, Xiaohu and Yugui had already jumped to the resistance, lined up to wash their hands and climbed onto the kang, at this time Yufu was sitting on the kang upright, and did not make a fuss like the three children.
Mrs. Qian knows the rules of Cui'er's family, she has to wash her hands before eating, although she doesn't come to Lian's house much on weekdays, but Yugui is familiar with the children of the Qian family, and washing her hands before eating is also the habit of the children of the Lian family.
"Yufu, aren't you going to wash your hands?" Mrs. Qian watched Yufu not move when the children washed their hands, and then asked, with a hint of cramped emotion in her voice that she didn't even know, presumably because she was a little uneasy about sending someone under the fence.
"Mother, I've already finished washing." Yufu smiled faintly at Mrs. Qian, and did not look cramped because of Mrs. Qian's urging, but seemed to be gentle and polite, such an attitude made Cui'er feel that this Yufu's upbringing was very good, and she looked up to him.
"Where are there so many rules, it's weirdly cold this day, and the big guys are hungry. Let's hurry up and eat! Cui'er said to Mrs. Qian with a smile, took her hand and took off her shoes and went to the kang.
Mrs. Qian is cheerful and refreshing on weekdays, but today she looks a little shrunken when she looks forward to doing things, and Cui'er naturally knows what's going on in her eyes. I looked back at the money shopkeeper who was lying on the kang and didn't want to move, and I couldn't help but sigh slightly.
The world is impermanent, and the two of them were well-known figures in Shili Town before, but now they have been abandoned by the Qian family, and they can't even go back to their own home...... This kind of cognition Rao is Cui'er, a person who has experienced a lot of things, and her heart is very sour.
"Brother Qian, can you get up and have some food?" When Lian Qingshan watched everyone talk, the money shopkeeper was lying motionless on the kang. He also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he asked a few words in a low voice, and when he saw that the money shopkeeper did not react, he sighed.
Why did the money shopkeeper fall to this point today, although even Qingshan is not completely clear. But I also know a rough idea, probably because the second master of Qian was disgusted by his family, and he lost the identity of the shopkeeper, and he had nowhere to go. Lian Qingshan felt that this matter of Second Master Qian had a lot to do with his family, and looking at the disheartened appearance of the shopkeeper Qian, he couldn't help it.
"Brother Lian, you can eat quickly. Sister Cui'er boiled porridge just now, and when she finishes eating, I'll just feed him some porridge. Mrs. Qian looked at Lian Qingshan's appearance and knew that he was uncomfortable for being in charge of his own family, so she hurriedly said to Lian Qingshan.
What kind of man is like in his own family, even his wife knows it very well. From the fact that she knew that Qian Lishui, who had a lifelong wish to be the shopkeeper of the Qian family's own shop, must have all her thoughts at this time, rather than letting the Lian family and the couple and the children be hungry with him here, it was better to fill his stomach first.
"Qingshan, come and eat. Brother Qian may be unwell and can't eat, let him sleep for a while. Cui'er also persuaded beside her, she didn't understand the mood of the money shopkeeper, but watched the children look at the braised pork and wait for the meal, but the appearance of not being able to eat for a long time was too pitiful, so quickly pulled Lian Qingshan to the table, and the children could start the meal.
"Good!" Lian Qingshan nodded, sat on the edge of the table, looked at the cute appearance of the braised pork with the children's eyes, couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a dish with chopsticks, and the children cheered and began to eat.
Cui'er's stewed braised pork is oily but not greasy, although it is a little cold, the fragrance is not reduced at all, put a large piece into the mouth, only feel that the teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and it is delicious.
The big girl and the little tiger are at home, eating is not restrained at all, the oily little mouth is stuffed full, the one that eats is called a heart, and the self-cooked Yugui is not far behind, following the big girl and the little tiger to eat like a race, and even the dishes that don't like to eat on weekdays don't care about picking, and they stuff the food into their mouths one by one.
Mrs. Qian looked at her youngest son's energetic appearance, and the depression in her heart because of being kicked out of the house was much better, while helping her two sons to pick up vegetables, while whispering to Cui'er about family routines, the negative emotions in her heart gradually eased, but there was a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
The money shopkeeper lying on the kang head, smelling the aroma of food, listening to the laughter of adults and children, but he didn't realize it, the wound on his body was hot and painful, but it was not worth one ten-millionth of the pain in his heart, and the money shopkeeper was very disheartened at this time.
The family that I have paid for for 30 years actually kicked myself away like garbage, and the reality is so unbearable, this is ...... How can he accept it.
