Chapter 31: Serving the Sick
Although Xie Xiuwen was puzzled, some things were not yet the time to be revealed, and he knew who was targeting him, so be careful in the future.
During the noon nap, Douzi came in with a smile and a package in his hand.
"It was the steward under Young Master Song who came to Fucheng to take inventory, and he happened to be met by our young lady, so he specially brought you some things."
This was a real surprise.
Xie Xiuwen opened the letter first and read it quickly, and learned that everything was fine at home, and the business of the Liu family's restaurant was also thriving, and his heart finally fell into his stomach.
The letter was written by Liu Ruolan, but two sentences in Chunzhong were written too bluntly, and it seemed that the handwriting was a little soft, and there was a difference in size, Xie Xiuwen guessed that it was written by Ganbao.
Sure enough, in the final payment, in addition to the words "wife Liu", there are also the words "Xie's good treasure" next to it.
Seeing this payment, Xie Xiuwen couldn't help laughing.
This good treasure really likes to play treasure!
The beans have already unwrapped the baggage, and there are two long shirts inside, both of which are slightly thicker, and they will be able to wear them in half a month. There are also two pairs of shoes and socks, plus some jerky.
Xie Xiuwen opened the bag and first pinched a piece of jerky in his mouth, which was fragrant and slightly spicy, but he couldn't eat any kind of meat.
Xie Xiuwen took out some of the jerky, gave a small handful of beans, and let the beans send the rest to Wang Jin.
The beans chew on the jerky in their mouths, and the more they chew, the more fragrant they become.
"It's delicious, sir, do you know what kind of meat it is?"
Xie Xiuwen smiled, he couldn't eat it, but the letter said that Song Yi got some beef by chance, so he sent it to the restaurant, originally wanted to transfer it to the Xie family, but the Liu family took into account the situation of the sister and the good baby in the Xie family, so they left it on their own initiative.
After Xie Rongzhao got the news, he asked his eldest aunt to help make jerky, leaving a small part, and giving the rest to Xie Xiuwen.
"Okay, go and send it to Brother Wang, you can't eat it."
Douzi laughed innocently twice and didn't ask any more.
After Douzi came back, Xie Xiuwen asked the Song family steward when he would go back, and then he wrote a letter.
Xie Xiuwen wrote a total of three letters.
One is naturally for his wife and daughter, another is for his old father at home, and the last one is for Song Yi.
Although Song Yi has no intention of making a career, but the family is powerful, and he is protected by him in Gao County, even the Fang family does not dare to face it easily, and has a lot of friends with the Song family, so far there are advantages and disadvantages.
A few days later, the steward of the Song family turned around and sent the letter back.
Grandpa Xie got the letter and was naturally overjoyed to learn that his son's grades in the academy were quite good, but after learning the news, Grandma Xie had a gloomy face.
For several days, Grandma Xie looked at Liu Ruolan and Xie Rongzhao very unpleasantly, which really made people see what it means to pick bones in eggs.
Liu Ruolan has always been good-natured, and she is a mother-in-law, she neither contradicts nor dares to disobey her, so she naturally works a lot harder.
Xie Rongzhao has the heart to help, but she is just a little doll, and her words have no weight!
The opportunity was not long in coming.
Liu Lao Er drove the mule cart to Xie Jiazhuang, with a slight rush on his face.
"A-Niang has been unwell for the past two days, and the sister-in-law in the family is taking turns to serve, but today it is more serious, Daddy ordered me to take you and the good baby back to live for a few days, one is to take care of the good baby for a few days, and the other is to let the good baby talk more in front of her, coax the mother to eat more, and the disease can get better quickly."
Grandpa Xie felt that since his mother-in-law was sick, it was understandable to let his daughter-in-law go back.
Grandma Xie was unwilling.
"Isn't your Liu family making money every day now? Since the mother-in-law is unwell, it is better to buy a maid ring and come back to serve, is it better than these women to serve roughly? ”
It's a bit weird to say that.
Grandpa Xie glanced at her unhappily, but in front of outsiders, she lost her face.
Liu Lao Er didn't seem to understand, and said with a smile: "Where did you say this, auntie?" As far as our family's small restaurant is concerned, it would be good to be able to feed our family of more than a dozen people, where do you dare to say that you want to buy Yahuan? ”
Grandma Xie's eyelids raised: "What's so modest about this?" I've heard that the business of your restaurant is so good that you are so busy that your feet don't touch the ground, nephew of the Liu family, don't tell me that you are busy and don't make money. ”
Liu Lao Er smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie's words are embarrassing to me." You've only heard that the shop is busy, but you haven't said how many of us work there, and the ingredients that are sold, could it be that we made them ourselves? Eggs, chicken, why don't you need money? We're barely a shame that we're better than being coolies. ”
Grandma Xie obviously didn't believe it, and was interrupted by Liu Ruolan, who had just rushed over.
"Second brother, why are you here? But what happened at home? ”
Liu Lao Er told A-Niang about her illness again, and Liu Ruolan's tears were about to fall.
"It must be that these days are hard, and A-Niang is tired."
Liu Lao Er nodded again and again and did not speak.
Liu Ruolan hurriedly saluted her in-laws and asked for instructions: "Father, mother-in-law, please allow the two of you, the aunt in the family is sick, and the daughter-in-law is really uneasy." ”
Grandpa Xie raised his hand slightly: "Go and clean up, Hello Bao will also follow." ”
"Yes, thank you, father."
Liu Ruolan shed tears while packing up her clothes.
Xie Rongzhao guessed that his grandmother might be pretending to be sick, but he didn't dare to be sure, so he just obediently packed up his clothes and didn't dare to let A-Niang worry about her.
After waiting for the mule cart and going out about ten zhang away, Liu Lao Er turned his head and opened the curtain and whispered: "Sister, don't cry, A-Niang is fine." It's just that A-Niang is worried that you and Ganbao will be wronged, so I asked me to pick you up. ”
Xie Rongzhao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she said, well, it must have been delivered by the letter that she dragged the fourth brother to.
Liu Ruolan has been rubbed and picked by her grandmother, but Xie Rongzhao is slight-hearted and can't help, so she thought of a way to write a letter to Xie Rongen to send to Liu's house.
Xie Rongen is a half-grown boy who often goes up and down the mountains and rivers, so when he goes out alone, it will not attract attention at all.
Xie Rongzhao made a note for the fourth brother in his heart, thinking that he must not forget him next time he has something delicious.
After arriving at Liu's house, Liu Ruolan hurriedly entered the yard, and saw A-Niang sitting in the yard helping to pick eggs, so she knew that the second brother did not lie to her.
Xie Rongzhao walked on his short legs and pounced directly.
"Grandma, I miss you so much!"
Mrs. Liu likes this granddaughter the most, she looks cute and has a sweet mouth.
"Good boy, go play with your cousins, and I'll talk to your aunt."
Xie Rongzhao knew that his grandmother was worried.
Sure enough, Xie Rongzhao walked on the front foot, and the Empress Dowager Liu led Liu Ruolan into the house.
"What's going on? I heard that your wicked mother-in-law is tossing you again? ”
