Chapter 58: Mother-Child Communication
In the next few days, I felt that Wang Jiajia and I were estranged a lot, as if we were deliberately avoiding each other, this feeling made people feel a little panicked, but I didn't know how to dredge, let alone who to talk to, so my heart was even more blocked, and so the cycle made people physically and mentally exhausted.
"Brother Jianghu, are you at home?"
"Yo, Second Brother Song!" I just finished washing the tofu box, and I was overjoyed to see that it was Song Erlang.
I saw that there was a person behind him, who looked to be in his early twenties, with a polite appearance, dressed in a gray long cloth shirt, similar to Xiao Mu's scholarly dress, but he was wearing a stiff-legged head of the same color on his head, and a large bamboo basket on his back.
"Oh, let me introduce you, this is Yang Mosheng, the bookkeeper of a thousand cups and not drunk. He just wanted to rent a house, and I thought your house was the most suitable, so I brought it. Song Erlang said, waiting for my reaction.
After all, it was a scholar, and before he could speak, he made a gesture before he said, "I'm sorry." ”
Want to rent my house? I hesitated, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Mu's order a month ago. Didn't he say that I should rent the house to Tibet? But since Tu Youcheng left, there hasn't been a single one who has come to rent a house, and I wonder if Xiao Mu is mistaken, where did he get so many details?
"I'm sorry, I'll have a few words with my brother." Song Erlang saw that I was stunned, smiled at Yang Mosheng, and pulled me into the house: "What's the matter?" You should give me a word. ”
"I ...... Hey, do you remember what I told you, Xiao Mu meant...... "I'm a little embarrassed."
"Xiao Mu?" Song Erlang looked at Yang Mosheng vigilantly: "Are you still thinking about Qincha's words?" If you want me to say that all of this is his own imagination. It's been almost a month, and thousands of people have signed up for Mu Niangzi's marriage, where is the detailed work? ”
I sighed: "I also have this question, I really don't know what he thinks, what are the arrangements recently?" Why is it that all of a sudden, like a disappearance, there is no news? ”
"I see, he's just having something wrong with his brain, and if I hadn't listened to you, I really wouldn't have believed he would have been a cha. Where is he in office? It's like playing. You still take his words as holy decrees. ”
Song Erlang complained helplessly, since I couldn't help but tell him Xiao Mu's true identity half a month ago, he has been a little confused, eager to find Xiao Mu and ask what is going on, but that guy is actually gone.
"Well, leave him alone. In fact, Xiao Mu also said that choosing us as secret agents does not want to affect our normal life. I breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Yang Mosheng again: "It's just this person, how is his conduct?" Don't find me someone like Su Xiaolu, or you won't have to empty the things in my house while I'm not at home. ”
"How can it? It's all brothers, where can I harm you. I have carefully assessed this person, and he can definitely be regarded as a gentleman, and he has been in charge of the accounts of Qianhe for three months, and he has not taken a penny.
Originally, he had been living in a miscellaneous house in the backyard of the liquor store, but the owner had renewed the strings, and the new proprietress was a little picky, wanting to deduct the house money from his salary.
Scholars, it is inevitable to be arrogant, so I decided not to live in the store, packed up my things, and asked everywhere where there was a house for rent. I've walked around the city a few times, and it's too expensive. I happened to meet me, so I brought it to you. ”
"Oh, I see." I walked towards Yang Mosheng and said with a slight smile: "I was slacking off for a while, and I was offended." In Xia Li Jianghu, there is indeed a house left to rent, well, just this one, this is just renovated last month, the rent of 200 yuan per month, pay the money first and then move in, the house money can be paid on a monthly basis, I don't know what my brother wants? ”
Yang Mosheng entered the room and looked around, his eyes lit up a little, and his hand touched the table in front of the window: "Okay, it's really good." ”
"Okay, hahahaha." Song Erlang laughed, as if he had done a big thing.
In the end, it was a scholar, I saw him put down the basket, put pen and ink, and wrote two words in a short time.
"Uh...... Brother Li, please take a look. ”
When I looked closely, it turned out to be the relevant documents about the rental of the house, the monthly rent, and the time of payment, including compensation for damage to the furniture. And each one is from the landlord's point of view, which is very reassuring. So, I took the pen and signed with Yang Mosheng, and Song Erlang also signed as an intermediary.
"It's worthy of Mr. Bookkeeper, it's really rigorous enough, come, one for everyone. In the future, we will be under the same roof, if there is anything inconsiderate about my Li Jianghu, please take care of Brother Yang. "I politely said, for scholars, I really have very little contact, will he be as easy-going as Xiao Mu? Or is it a nerd who can only "be a fool"?
"Brother Li is polite. I go out at the beginning of the morning and come back at the end of the evening, and our owner takes care of three meals a day, so I stay at home at night, and I always want to have a quiet place to read a book, and now I finally get my wish. Yang Mosheng said, carefully taking a book out of the basket and placing it neatly in the corner of the table.
When I heard him say this, I was a lot more relieved, I only rented a room to sleep, and I didn't have to eat and drink with him, at least it saved a lot of trouble. Lest I always have to worry about whether to ask him to eat with him, or I can't bear to let him be forced to prepare food to repay our favor, as Tu Youcheng did when he rented a house.
……
Two days later, Yang Mosheng and I gradually became acquainted. After careful questioning, I learned that his hometown was originally in Ankang, and it was also because of the war that he moved to Xiangzhou City, and he also experienced anxiety along the way, and the only brother also died of illness on the way.
"I'm sorry, but I want to mourn." I saw that his eyes were a little moist, and I was afraid that he would cry, so I hurried to comfort him.
A-Niang also sighed on the side.
"That's it, human life is in heaven. If my brother had a spirit in heaven, he would not have seen me feel sorry for him. Yang Mosheng raised his head and said, "It's not too early, isn't Brother Li going to grind tofu tomorrow?" And the eldest lady, let's rest early. ”
"Hey, don't read too late." A-Niang said.
"Okay."
I walked out of the room with my mother, and I still felt a little uncomfortable. I haven't experienced the pain of life and death, no, it's just that Aya left early back then, and I'm not sensible. I'm not very good at comforting either. Originally, I just wanted to know more, but I didn't expect to poke his sore spot, which made me feel a little guilty.
"A-Niang, go to bed early."
"Can't sleep." A-Niang pulled me into the yard: "Say, what's happened to you and Jiajia lately?" ”
I was stunned: "Huh? What, how? ”
"You and Jiajia! She used to come over to play twice in three days, but she hasn't been here for some days recently, and even if I call her over for dinner, she doesn't seem to be as casual as before. Especially when you're at home, she basically doesn't even talk much. A-Niang asked as she stared at me intently.
"Where? Aren't they all the same as before? I smiled: "It's that A-Niang has changed recently, and she is getting closer and closer to that Aunt Zhu, and even her temperament is somewhat similar." ”
"Am I like her?" A-Niang pointed to herself, her face full of surprise.
"Well, that's to see that everyone else has problems, and you are a normal person." After I finished speaking, I quickly jumped a foot away.
"You stinky boy, is your skin itchy again?" A-Niang slapped her, and sure enough, she withdrew her hand, crossed it on her waist, and then sighed heavily: "Do you think I am willing?" That Aunt Zhu is a little self-righteous, no, there is no one in her eyes. Her son is just a little catcher, look at her, what has she become? Show off in front of me all day long, as if you can't compare to that Qin Yong.
If it weren't for her wide connections, thinking that there would be something to beg her, I wouldn't want to have more dealings with this kind of person, otherwise I would really become a resentful woman. ”
"Ouch, A-Niang, where is it so complicated between people, you can talk if you can talk, and if you can't talk, you will have less contacts?"
A-Niang gave me a blank look: "It's not because of you." ”
"Me? Why did you get involved with me again? I didn't like this guy from the beginning. I said disdainfully: "Remember how she disliked Mu Niangzi at that time?" said that she was a widow, her birthday was unlucky, and she still owed debts, how unbearable she was, and she was not worthy of her son. The result? Now that Mu Niangzi is asking for marriage, how many people are vying to marry her. ”
"Hmph, are you still fighting for Mu Niangzi?" A-Niang pretended to be angry and said: "Her brother is a big celebrity around Qincha, and there is someone to support him, so he still needs you to worry about it?" You still think about yourself, you're twenty years old, why are you still so indifferent to your own family affairs? ”
"Ouch, A-Niang, didn't you say that you wouldn't force marriage?" I never expected A-Niang to say this to me at this time.
"What am I forced to marry? I'm asking you what you're planning to do. Is it possible to be with Jiajia? If there is really no fate, then I will ask Aunt Zhu to help pay more attention to it, and find another one for you. ”
"Let her help me find it?" I only felt a chill in my heart: "Auntie, are you okay, what do you think she can find for me?" Are you sure you can be satisfied? ”
Ah Niang's face sank, as if she was really angry: "Li Jianghu, you remember to me, no matter who a person in this world is, if she has shortcomings, she must have advantages."
Although your aunt is a little snobbish and uncomfortable, she is also like your mother, and she has worked hard to raise her son with her own efforts.
Now, Qin Yong is already a fast catcher in the Tianyan team, and she is still helping the rich and noble to do laundry to earn money, which is much more tiring than your mother doing these needlework! ”
"That's because she doesn't know how to enjoy it." As I spoke, I leaned over to A-Niang to help her pinch her shoulders: "Although I'm not as beautiful as Qin Yong, I'm not worse than him." I can support my family now, if my mother is tired, don't even do these needlework. ”
"Okay, I won't do it, I prefer to bring my grandson, you satisfy me!" Ah Niang went around and finally clicked on the question.
I smiled bitterly: "If I can give birth myself, I will definitely give birth to you!" ”
"Stinky boy, what nonsense!" A-Niang finally smiled: "You wish the aunt what I said, I will help pay more attention to the clothes in the future, and point it out to me if there is a suitable one." If you don't believe her, don't you believe your mother's vision? You can rest assured. ”
"I ...... Ouch, I'm so sleepy, Auntie, it's too late, go to sleep, go to sleep. I'm going to be busy tomorrow morning. I felt a headache, quickly covered my mouth and yawned twice, and finally ended the communication between mother and son.
