Chapter 233: Settle in

The carriage drove through the bustling streets towards the house that the Yu family had bought in town. The streets of Tanggu Town are simple but prosperous. At this hour, the street is full of vendors, the flow of people is like weaving, and the sound of fried fruits, chowder soup, steamed buns and other cries of selling comes into the ears from time to time.

Most of the people who come and go on the streets are ordinary people dressed in cloth clothes with weathered faces, there are also students in long robes and full of books, and of course, there is no shortage of rich and noble families in brocade clothes. Occasionally, a young girl wearing a veil followed by a maid walked past the car with a soft laugh......

The little faces of Liu Yan'er's sister and brother, as if embedded in the car window, looked at such a prosperous and stable street, and their hearts that were always adrift along the way seemed to be comforted. For the first time, they were able to appreciate the delicacy of the street so leisurely, without worrying about being scolded, without worrying about being driven away, and without having to think about how to accompany the smiling faces and beg for alms......

The experience of the past few months can be said to be a nightmare for everyone in the Liu family. Yu Caifeng looked down at the man who was sleeping peacefully, as long as he was there, no matter what hardship, she was not afraid. In the days to come, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be more difficult than these days of fleeing and begging!

"Sister! It's here!! Get out of the car! When the carriage came to the gate of a two-way courtyard, Yu Hai jumped out of the carriage, lifted the curtain, and smiled brightly inside.

Liu Junping politely refused his uncle's kindness to take him down, jumped out of the carriage himself, and stretched out his hand again, wanting to help his younger brothers and sisters down. found that his uncle had already clamped one in one hand and brought the two of them down. Liu Fangping was "giggling" and laughing happily.

The next-door neighbor came back from selling vegetables outside, and saw Yu Hai leading a group of ragged and smelly refugees, so he couldn't help frowning and asked: "Brother Yu, there was a family of refugees who were kind enough to take in the family before, but the money was stolen." You have to be careful! ”

When Yu Hai bought this house, he visited his neighbors. So, although he didn't come often, the neighbors recognized him as the owner of the house.

Yu Hai nodded at her and said lightly, "Thank you sister-in-law for your kind reminder." This is my own sister, who suffered on the way to visit her relatives, and she is not a refugee! ”

The woman looked Yu Caifeng's family of five up and down, pursed her lips, and said, "You won't keep them staying here for a long time, will you?" It seems that the door lock of our house should be changed! ”

When Yu Caifeng heard this, she glared at her in humiliation, her nails sinking deep into her palms. Yu Xiaocao looked at the rotten vegetable leaves in her basket, and snorted coldly: "Just your house? Is there a difference between locking and not locking the door? ”

The woman's face changed and she exclaimed, "What do you mean?!" ”

"What do you mean? Do you still need me to make it clear? It means that your family is so poor, even if you open the door, thieves are not uncommon to come to the door! "Since people don't want to be embarrassed, why should Yu Xiaocao give her a good face?

"You ......," the woman was about to say something, but was interrupted by a drunken voice inside.

"You dead! Buy a vegetable and go out for so long, do you want to starve to death!! What are you still grinding there, don't roll in and cook!! ”

All the woman's arrogance was instantly reined in, and she trembled all over, and resigned herself to the courtyard. Soon, there was a cry of pain, followed by a man's roar: "Where's the wine?" Where's the wine you gave Lao Tzu?! I can't do this, what's the use of asking you to be a mother-in-law? The sound of fists and feet came intermittently.

Yu Xiaocao grabbed his father, who wanted to persuade him, and whispered: "Dad, we are not familiar with them, and it is better to take care of other people's family affairs, so as not to be said to be nosy." Dad, I'll take my aunt and uncle in first, and you go to the ready-to-wear store to buy a few sets of clothes! ”

Yu Caifeng hurriedly stopped: "No...... No more! Our clothes can still be worn by washing, washing and sewing, what do you do with the cost? ”

Yu Hai nodded busily and said, "Don't break the cost, don't break the cost!" Sister, you go and rest for a while. When I get back, let's go out to dinner together! With that, Yu Caifeng was not allowed to say anything more, and left in a hurry.

There was a knock on the door, and it was an old man with gray hair who opened it. The old man's surname is Tang, and his only son was swallowed up by a storm when he went out to sea to fish, leaving only an old couple with no one to rely on. Yu Hai saw that the old couple was pitiful, so he lent them the side house near the door. In this house in the town, the Yu family rarely comes, and only occasionally stays here, or cooks a meal here to send to Xiaoshi. Ask them to show you the house for free!

The old man knew Xiaocao, because when Xiaocao was free, she would cook for her younger brother, who was studying in the town. The little girl's cooking was so fragrant that she couldn't help but drool when she smelled it.

"Miss Yu, these are ......" The old man looked at the five members of the Liu family with a questioning face, but there was no contempt in his eyes.

"This is my aunt's family, who just arrived in Tanggu Town." Yu Xiaocao explained lightly, and invited Yu Caifeng's family into the courtyard. The yard is not large, divided into front and back yards. There are three main rooms in the backyard, flanked by side rooms, kitchens, and miscellaneous rooms.

For the Liu family, who have been living in the countryside of Northeast China, such a blue brick house and neat courtyard are unimaginable. Liu Caifeng secretly wondered in her heart, when did her brother's family become so rich and could afford such a house in the town?

After enduring and enduring, she still couldn't help but ask: "Xiaocao, do you know about the fact that you bought this house in the town?" ”

"Why do you want her to know?" Xiaocao first blinked suspiciously, and suddenly said, "Auntie, you don't know yet, right?" We have divided it out, and we only have to make up our own minds about buying a house! ”

It's a separation! No wonder!! She said that how could the Zhang family, who was slamming the door, be willing to dress her younger brother and niece so well, and allow them to buy a house in the town, it turned out that the family was separated! The last worry in Yu Caifeng's heart completely disappeared at this time.

Originally, she was worried that when she came back to her parents' house this time, she would be rejected by the ruthless Zhang, leaving her younger brother in a dilemma. Originally, she thought that if the Zhang family didn't take them in, she would first borrow them to live in the old mansion, and then let the man and his younger brother go into the mountains to learn to hunt.

Now that my brother has split up, I don't have so many worries! Now it seems that my brother's family is doing well. My younger brother has always been capable, and without the drag of Zhang's vampire leech, he will be able to live a good life sooner or later! With his brother's heart, he won't ignore her as a sister.

However, she, as an older sister, can't count on her younger brother. She believed that the difficulties were only temporary, and that when the man recovered, he would do odd jobs in the town, and the next spring he would like to rent a few acres of land...... There is no one in the man's house, and there is no need to go back to the bitter cold land in the northeast.

"Auntie, you rest for a while, I'll go boil the pot of hot water, and you can wash it later!" Yu Xiaocao's crisp voice interrupted her thoughts.

Yu Caifeng helped the man sit on a chair in the room, and said busily: "I'd better go!" ”

Xiaocao smiled and said, "Auntie, what are you polite to me?" Uncle is not feeling well, you help him to lie on the kang and rest for a while. ”

"Mother! Look at Dad, I'll help my cousin boil water! Liu Yan'er sensibly took Xiaocao's hand and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

When the water was hot, Yu Hai came in from outside with a baggage, and turned sideways to let Dr. Sun from Tongrentang in, followed by a primary school apprentice carrying a medicine box.

The two entered the house and found Yu Caifeng sitting on the edge of the kang, her man leaning on her shoulder and closing his eyes to recuperate. Yu Haidao: "Sister, why don't you let your brother-in-law lie down?" ”

Yu Caifeng's face showed some embarrassment, and she whispered: "Your brother-in-law said that he was buried in his body, for fear of soiling your bed!" ”

Yu Hai showed an unhappy look on his face, and said unhappily: "Just wash it if it's dirty!" Lie down and let Dr. Sun show you! ”

After taking the pulse, Dr. Sun pondered for a moment and said, "The patient developed lung disease due to the wind and cold that was not treated in time. However, it's not serious! The patient has a good physical foundation, and he can be cured by taking a few pairs of medicines! ”

Dr. Sun diagnosed the patient's physical improvement after Xiaocao drank the spiritual fluid. If it weren't for the spirit stone liquid, Liu Hu would have been seriously ill and would have died a long time ago, and he wouldn't have been able to wait for Dr. Sun to come and see him.

Dr. Sun dispensed two pairs of medicines from the medicine box, and asked them to give them to the patients first, and then take the prescription to the pharmacy to grab the medicine, and take it for three or five days.

After sending Dr. Sun away, Yu Hai, with the help of his nephew Liu Junping, gave Liu Hu a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and let him lie on the kang. Yu Caifeng decocted medicine for men in the yard, and almost all the coils given by Yu Hai were used to catch medicine, and Yu Caifeng's ability to decoct medicine was practiced at that time.

After Liu Hu drank the medicine and fell asleep, Yu Caifeng's mother and son had already taken a bath and changed into clean cotton clothes. The clothes bought in the ready-to-wear shop, although the material is average, there is no style to speak of. But the three children were as happy as the New Year.

Before the disaster, although Liu Hu's family had little surplus food, they were not wealthy, and they might not be able to make new clothes in a year. Along the way, all the clothes that can be taken out of my hands are used as medicine for my father, and the rest are patches and patches, which are so worn out that I can't see them. Now, they are very satisfied to have new clothes to wear.

"Daddy! There is nothing to eat at home except for some rice grain, so let's go out to eat at noon! "Because the houses in the town are not very inhabited, there are hardly any ingredients in the kitchen except for a small amount of rice and flour. There is a restaurant outside, and the taste is not bad, so Xiaocao has the idea of going to the restaurant.

Yu Caifeng hurriedly said: "We have just drunk a bowl of porridge outside the city gate, we can do whatever we have at home, and we can't spend money to go out to eat!" ”

Yu Xiaocao said: "The rice at home is only enough to make a bowl of porridge for my uncle!" My drinking father went out early in the morning, and by this time he was already hungry, and I couldn't hold it anymore when I went out to buy vegetables and cook! Just eat outside, it won't cost much! ”
