Chapter 15: The House
Hua Qingyan put the bad things behind her, and happily returned to the Hu family with today's harvest, of course, before entering the door, she took out two sacks of honeysuckle from the space. When I entered the yard, I saw Xiao Baozi and Hu Baizhi playing under the grape trellis, and the smiles on the faces of the little buns were brighter than the sun.
"Mother!" Xiao Wuwu was the first to spot Hua Qingyan, and rushed over like a small cannonball and threw herself into her arms, and the momentum made Hua Qingyan take a few steps back before stabilizing her figure. After that, Xi'er also staggered over and hugged Hua Qingyan's legs, and asked in a milky voice: "Mother, have you found something delicious?" ”
Hu Baizhi took the sack in Hua Qingyan's hand and said: "The little baby said that I miss you before, and what you think about is not your mother, but delicious!" He helped Hua Qingyan unload the bamboo basket again, "Yo, there are pheasants and eggs, Qingyan, you have a good harvest!" ”
"Yes, God favors you today." Hua Qingyan nodded with a smile, and pulled the little buns inside, "Babies have egg custard to eat for a while, are you happy?" ”
"Happy!" The little buns said in unison, "I like my mother the most!" ”
Because breakfast was late, lunch was directly ignored, but Hua Qingyan casually got something for Xiao Baozi to fill her stomach. All afternoon, Hua Qingyan was in the courtyard of the Hu family, accompanying Hu Baizhi to clean up the honeysuckle she picked, and Mrs. Hu even taught her to deal with other medicinal herbs, and told her that those medicines could be sold for a price, and those needed to be concocted.
At dinner, Hua Qingyan did not break her promise, and during the meal, she steamed two bowls of tender egg custard for the little buns, and also fried cauliflower for Hu Baizhi, and divided the pheasant into two, half of which was stewed with yam and wolfberry, and half was braised with yam and wolfberry. The fungus that was originally going to be given to the Hu family was not spared and was made into cold fungus. Hua Qingyan completely conquered the Hu family of three with her cooking skills, and Hu Baizhi even said that Hua Qingyan would bring people to her house for dinner in the future, and use her cooking skills to pay for the meal.
Seeing that it was getting late, Hua Qingyan offered to leave. Although Hu Baizhi was a little reluctant, she still let her go, but made an appointment to go up the mountain together tomorrow, and asked her to bring the little buns over tomorrow, so as not to pick them up halfway. Hua Qingyan couldn't bear to refuse her kindness, and readily agreed.
However, when Hua Qingyan took the little bun and turned around and walked out of the gate of Hu's house, she heard Hu Langzhong behind her say: "I remember that your father still has a house in the backing village, which seems to have been bought by Mrs. Hua back then, and the name of Yaozong is written on the title deed." ”
House?
Hua Qingyan's eyes lit up, if they found that house, they wouldn't need to send someone under the fence, and they could live the life they wanted! "Uncle Hu, do you know where that house is?"
"To the north, at the end of the village." Hu Langzhong smiled, "You can go and see for yourself, no matter what, it's a place to go." ”
"Thank you, Uncle Hu." Hua Qingyan thanked her.
Xu had hope for life, with a smile in his voice, and even the steps back to Hua's house were much lighter.
Entering the courtyard gate of the Hua family, Hua Qingyan didn't stay too long, and walked straight to the firewood house in the backyard. She was still carrying a food box in her hand, which contained Bi'er's dinner and medicine, and if it was cold, it would not taste good.
It was pitch black in the firewood room, and the Hua family did not prepare candles for them, let alone oil lamps, so they could only touch it dark at night. Hua Qingyan is very glad that neither she nor Bi'er have night blindness, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do anything at night.
Hua Qingyan knocked on the door before entering, and then pushed the door in, "Bi'er, I'm back." ”
Bi'er was also relieved when she heard Hua Qingyan's voice. Hua Qingyan went out for a day, and later asked someone to take the little master and the little lady away, leaving her alone in the Hua family. Bi'er is still lying down, Hua Panpan has come during the day, standing at the door and taunting her fiercely, so why did the young lady leave with the child, leave her behind, and don't want her anymore. Later, she said that the young lady sold her to the Hua family, and she was the Hua family's dog in the future, which made Bi'er half angry. However, Hua Qingyan didn't return for a long time, which also made Bi'er's heart gradually sink. Although she believed in Miss, she couldn't help but cry secretly.
"Miss, you're back." Bi'er whispered, choking and grievances in her voice.
Hua Qingyan heard her emotions, but didn't say much. Just let the little buns go to bed to play, then take out the food in the food box, bring a small table and put it on the bed for her to eat, and sit on the edge of the bed and take out a small purse under the food box.
The small purse was given to her by Hu Baizhi, a green cotton cloth embroidered with a few Angelica Angelica, which is quite elegant. Hua Qingyan gently poured out the contents of the small purse, and a jingling sound instantly attracted Bi'er's attention.
"Miss, where did you get the copper coin?" Bi'er looked at the copper coins on the table in surprise and couldn't help asking.
"Naturally, your young lady earned it." Hua Qingyan took a copper coin and scrubbed it in her hand, "I went up the mountain to pick a lot of honeysuckle and sold it to Hu Langzhong, and Hu Langzhong gave me 500 Wen." ”
"So much! Miss, I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow to pick honeysuckle! Bi'er was a little excited, completely forgetting that she still needed to stay in bed to recuperate.
Hua Qingyan smiled and shook her head: "You take care of your body first, I have something to tell you now." ”
Seeing Hua Qingyan's expression becoming serious, Bi'er immediately sat up straight, looking like she was listening carefully.
"Hua family, we can't live anymore. So I'm going to move out. ”
Bi'er frowned: "But Miss, except for the Hua family, we have nowhere to go." ”
"Yes!" Hua Qingyan said, "Hu Langzhong told me that my father has a house in the mountain village, but he doesn't know where the title deed is now. "This is also where Hua Qingyan is entangled, no matter where she is, the title deed is very important. Of course, she didn't think about renting a house, but at present, she has 500 yuan on her, and she still owes Hu Langzhong a debt, so renting a house is a little unrealistic.
Bi'er frowned and thought for a while, then bent down and took out a gray cloth bag from under the bed and handed it to Hua Qingyan, "Miss, this is what Madame asked me to keep for you, and told me to protect it and not fall into the hands of others." I was afraid of being taken away by the people of the Hua family, so I haven't taken it out, you see, if there is anything you want. ”
Hua Qingyan glanced at the cloth bag and praised Bi'er for doing a good job. Quickly unwrap the cloth bag, there is only one jacket of the original owner, or the kind worn by newborn babies. Hua Qingyan flipped through it, feeling that the original owner's mother attached so much importance to it, it couldn't be as simple as just a jacket. After a while, Hua Qingyan really discovered the clue, there was something in the mezzanine of this jacket!
