Chapter Fifty-Four: Dragging the Family with the Mouth

"Come, Brother Wu, this is it."

I opened the courtyard door, unloaded my burden, and pointed to the east: "This is the room." ”

"Yo, this is a new house!" Wu Cheng sighed.

Just now, all the way over, they can be regarded as a simple acquaintance with each other.

The personalities of this husband and wife complement each other, Wu Cheng seems to have endless words, from farming in his hometown in the past to the sadness of fleeing along the road, I can't wait to talk about it all over again.

And his mother, who only knows her surname Tu, is silent, and coaxes the child at most along the way, even if Wang Jiajia asks her something, she smiles slightly, or "uh-huh".

"It's a newly built house, just me and A-Niang live, and there is a vacant one, rent it out to earn some money to pay off debts, hehe." I smiled: "Now the house in the city center is like this single room for 500 months, although I am far away from the city center, the rent is cheap and quiet. If Brother Wu is willing to live for a long time, I am happy to rent it to you. ”

"Yes, yes, we'll live for a long time." Wu Cheng was a little excited: "Then let's go clean up and move in today?" ”

"Okay."

Seeing their family of three walking away, Wang Jiajia ran over: "Brother Jianghu, why did you agree to let them live in?" Didn't you say that the Qincha meant to let you rent the house to the Tibetans? ”

"Do you think they look like fine works?"

"They? How so? Drag the family with the mouth. Wang Jiajia denied.

"I didn't feel like it at first, and I was a little hesitant to rent the house to them, but I was afraid that if I didn't rent it, I was aware of our identity by the hidden Xiaozuo, so I took them to see the house, and was ready to find some more reasons for them to retreat.

However, along the way just now, that Wu Cheng talked very well, do you think he is like an ordinary person farming? He asked me about my daily routine, and even sighed at the Bodhisattva of the owner of the Jianghu Inn.

He said that he had just arrived in Xiangzhou City for a few days, how could he pay attention to the situation of the Jianghu Inn? Today, Sun Chenxian just helped me post the notice of the house for rent, and he happened to eat bean curd in front of our stall, will it be too coincidental? ”

I analyzed it carefully.

Wang Jiajia also became nervous: "Could it be that they are really meticulous?" I really didn't expect the Tubo people to be so cunning and actually bring their wives and daughters into the city together, which makes it easy for people to relax their guard! ”

I shook my head: "What I just said is just an inference, and I can't be very sure that he is meticulous, but, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. ”

"Well, don't worry, Brother Jianghu, I understand."

……

When A-Niang came back, I had just finished telling her what had happened, followed by Wu Cheng's family of three who also dragged a few large bags of things.

"You are Aunt Song, I'm causing you trouble."

Wu Cheng said with a smile, moving a few bags of things into the house, I quickly stepped forward and put up a handle, according to the feel, it should be some change of clothes and bedding and the like.

"It's okay, it's okay, we'll all live under the same roof in the future, why are you so polite." A-Niang said, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand to the little girl behind Tu Niangzi: "How old are you?" It's so smart. ”

"Two and a half years old." Tu Niangzi said and went into the house to make the bed.

"The little girl's name is Yuanyuan, and she is a little afraid of life." Wu Cheng said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's good to wait until it's cooked. Looking at your family of three, it's really enviable! I wonder when I'll be able to hold my grandson? A-Niang couldn't help but sigh again.

"Auntie, ouch, why are you here again? I'm hungry. I pulled her out and nodded at Wu Cheng: "Then Brother Wu, you will be busy first, and I will call you when the meal is ready." ”

"No, no, we just bought something to eat." Wu Cheng politely got up.

I glanced at his baggage, thinking that it was just a few steamed buns, and if we lived together in the future, would they borrow our kitchen to cook? That's a bit of a problem.

"The meal is cooked, the meal is ready."

Ah Niang insisted again and again, and finally dragged the family of three who were ready to eat cold steamed buns to the dinner table, although they were a little embarrassed, but Ah Niang was cheerful, and she and Wu Cheng were homely, and they ate a good meal.

Before going to bed, I soaked soybeans in the mill and went back to my room, but I saw my mother making my bed.

"Auntie, you haven't slept yet?"

"Fell asleep right away." Ah Niang glanced at the east and said in a low voice: "Are they the people Qin Cha said?" ”

"To be verified."

"This family of three is not simple. The woman is silent, obviously afraid of saying the wrong thing, and that Wu Cheng is very talkative, but what she says is full of loopholes. A-Niang said softly.

I moved closer to Ah Niang: "Ah Niang also noticed that he had a problem?" ”

"I'm not sure if it's a detailed work, but it will never be like he said it was the people who farmed. At most, his father had farmed, so when he talked about the harvest of previous years and the hard work, he could only say something one-sided. A-Niang said.

I know that my grandmother was also born in a farming family, my grandfather was a good farmer, and my grandmother took care of the family and made some tofu to sell in her spare time. Now that A-Niang has learned to make tofu, she must also be familiar with the way of farming.

"Got it, A-Niang, I'll keep an eye on it. Go to bed early. I comforted, and when A-Niang left, I turned off the oil lamp, lay on the bed, and sure enough, I had insomnia again.

Secret agents? Secret agents! What am I going to do? Waiting for the order of the Chincha? Or go to the Qincha to report the situation? The point is that he hasn't done anything now, how do I report it? However, when he makes a big move, will it be too late?

Oh, I'm just an ordinary person selling tofu, am I worried about these difficult questions?

Hehe, Sky Eye Detective! What a cow! But when I really became a secret agent, I suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

I finally stayed up until dawn and got up to grind the beans, only to find that there was movement in the kitchen. A-Niang shouldn't be so early, is it ......

"Early." Tu Niangzi glanced at me and was busy stirring in the pot again.

"Yo, Brother Li is up?" Wu Cheng's voice also sounded behind me: "Yesterday on the road, I heard Brother Li say that it was really hard to get up at the end of every day to grind beans and make tofu, so I specially asked my wife to boil a pot of porridge, oh, it was the rice we bought ourselves yesterday, as well as steamed buns, and it was also hot, and I will call you in a while." ”

"Hurry up and make me something to eat! What's so embarrassing about that? I smiled apologetically: "I always send tofu to the Jianghu Inn for breakfast, where the clear soup noodles are also cheap, and the money is full." ”

"I've also eaten the clear soup noodles there, it's too light, didn't Brother Li say that he would have to do odd jobs after selling tofu every day? Where can I have strength without a little salt? Wu Cheng smiled: "Do you want me to help you grind?" ”

……

I've never been very good at saying no to people, let alone other people's kindness. Suddenly, I had the illusion that this Wu Cheng was quite kind.

Secret agents? Tenants? Just provided him with a house, although he still owes one hundred and fifty wen rent, but it is not so flattering to me, right? Help me make breakfast, help me grind, help me carry the burden......

"You're resting here, aren't you?" Wu Cheng steadily unloaded the burden under the eaves of the Jianghu Inn.

"Thank you, Brother Wu." I was embarrassed to take the burden from him.

"Yo, Li Jianghu, what windfall did you make? Hired guys today? Ah Wu poked his head out of the inn with a sweat towel and smiled.

"Hehe, morning." Wu Cheng said hello and asked, "Do you want to carry a box for them?" ”

"Hmm."

"Come on, come on, move to the back kitchen, you come with me."

I was about to move, Ah Wu commanded Wu Chengyi, and sure enough, there was nothing wrong with me.

"What, aren't you happy to have someone help?"

I was about to set the table, but I was surprised when I heard this voice: "Mu ...... Mu Niangzi? ”

The light of the sky could just see her face clearly, I hadn't seen her for a few days, and she was still so beautiful and proud! Even the dress on her body is still so pure and immaculate!

"Warm heart, my silk handkerchief seems to have forgotten to take it, go to the room and get it for me." Mu Niangzi commanded to the woman in the red dress behind her.

"Yes." Warmly glanced at me, bent slightly at Mu Niangzi, and went straight to the guest room.

"See? If someone wants to be sent, you just have to give the order. Nothing to be embarrassed about. ”

How does she know what I think? Embarrassed? It's really not very accustomed. I'm a poor boy, when will it be my turn to instruct others to do things?

"Heartwarming...... Is she okay? "I came up with such a sentence out of nowhere, and as soon as I said it, I wanted to slap myself.

Do I care about warmth? You don't know her well, do you? Ever since she became Mu Niangzi's maid, she hasn't seen her again. Wang Jiajia went to her a few times, saying that she was very good, so it was very good, and I still need to ask again?

"I'm fine!" Mu Niangzi smiled slightly, stretched out her arms and turned around: "You also saw it, now the whole city is a notice of my marriage." In this world, only I, Mu Xian'er, pick a man, and no one can abandon me! ”

"Forehead ......"

"Brother Li, moved in." Without waiting for me to answer, Wu Cheng came out with a smile, and his eyes were quickly attracted by Mu Niangzi.

"Oh, thank you, Brother Wu. This is the owner of the inn, Mu Niangzi. I blurted out, and then I was uneasy again, do you want to introduce him?

"Oh, hehe, Mu Niangzi." Wu Cheng's face was smiling even sweeter, looking like a man would have when he saw a beautiful woman.

"When it's sold out in a while, remember to clean up the door for me, and Faber will keep the account for you." Mu Niangzi didn't even look at Wu Cheng, and pointed to my tofu stall and said. Just as Nuan Xin came with a silk handkerchief, she also combed the hair on her shoulders, took the silk handkerchief and Nuan Xin and left.

"She's the owner of this inn? Mu Niangzi who is now seeking marriage in the whole city? Wu Cheng's eyes chased after her, and he approached me and asked.

"Hmm."

"I heard...... Her brother is the county lieutenant of Mu, the big celebrity around Qincha? ”

"Well, yes." My heart tightened, is this the beginning of the inquiry?

"Tut-tut, it's not easy! Brother Li is not simple, he actually knows such a rich and powerful master. ”

"Me?" I was afraid that he would notice something, so I hurriedly waved my hand: "I just send tofu to her inn, where can I afford to climb a rich family like them?" ”

"Why should Brother Li be ashamed of himself? In the whole Xiangzhou City, is it just your family that sells tofu? ”

"My aunt has been selling tofu for decades, known as tofu Xishi, which is famous in this area, and the price is cheap, and the price has never increased over the years. Their inn also thinks my tofu is the best, so they asked me to help deliver it.

Who knows, at the beginning, it was all the good ones, and it was only less than three months, and there was only one box, and I begged the owner with a dead face before agreeing to lend me a place to make a living, otherwise I would have to spend money to rent a stall on the street, and I would be exposed to the sun and rain. ”

I sighed and said, I just wanted to make myself miserable, so that I could break up the relationship with Mu Niangzi. Forehead...... It seems that we really don't have anything to do with each other.

"Hey, what's so easy these days?" Wu Cheng also sighed: "Then you are busy, I still have to go to work, see you later!" ”
