Lu Xihua's sugar cakes were given away for free, but most of the people who came were children and the elderly, and even adults were basically brought to the children at home, and they were quickly delivered.

As soon as Lu Xihua saw that everything was delivered, he took Han Cai'er's hand, "Let's go, go home with my brother, and it will be your home in Jinwei in the future." Han Cai'er's little face showed a solemn look, "Okay, brother." After speaking, he carried the broken quilt, holding the erhu left by his grandfather, and was about to leave with Lu Xihua, the villain's heart was uneasy, I don't know what the situation is in my brother's house, whether my sister-in-law is good, and whether I will cause trouble to my brother's family. If you eat very little, you must not cause trouble to your brother, and you can sing and continue to sing. Thinking of this, Han Cai'er's little hand was clenched tightly, and she seemed to have made a lot of determination.

Lu Xihua carried the burden, and saw that Han Cai'er was still carrying a broken quilt, so he hurriedly squatted down, touched Cai'er's hair, and said carefully, "Cai'er, we don't want the quilt, there are other quilts covered at my brother's house." Your grandfather's erhu should be put away well, you like to sing, and your brother will teach you to sing in the future, okay?"

Han Cai'er listened to Lu Xihua's words, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "Does my brother dislike Cai'er's broken things?"

As soon as Lu Xihua heard this girl's heart, her head was a little big, "No, no, it's just that my brother's family has these, and there is no shortage of food and clothing." It's good for you to hold the erhu left by your grandfather. ”

Han Cai'er asked cautiously, "Won't my sister-in-law say anything at home?"

Lu Xihua said with a smile, "My brother is also single, and there is no sister-in-law at home, and he belongs to the kind where one person feeds the whole family and is not hungry." Hahaha!"

When Han Cai'er heard that Lu Xihua was alone at home, her mood was inexplicably relaxed, and she said happily, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother." Brother, don't worry, in the future, everything at home will be handed over to Cai'er, and I will definitely help you take care of the rules. ”

Lu Xihua said, "Okay, well, our family Cai'er is the most well-behaved." Then let's go. After speaking, he threw the torn quilt on Cai'er's back to the side of the road, and was quickly snatched by several beggars. Lu Xihua didn't walk here, but called two rickshaws, one to put the burden, and the other to pull himself and Han Cai'er, and left one after the other.

Han Cai'er was riding a rickshaw for the first time, and sat on the seat carefully, her little butt was a little next to the seat, holding the erhu in her left hand, and hugging Lu Xihua's hand tightly with her right hand, "Brother, where are we going?"

Lu Xihua said, "Go home, let Cai'er take a bath first, then eat, and then live happily with my brother in the future." ”

Han Caier could only hum, her heart was full of illusions about her future life, and she didn't know where this brother who sold sugar paintings lived, and whether the family was crowded or not.

The rickshaw followed the Haihe River to the French Concession in the south, and then went south to the British Concession, turned west and finally stopped in front of a small three-story house on Singapore Road, "Sir, the place has arrived." A rickshaw driver wiped his sweat and smiled as he nodded.

Lu Xihua nodded, pulled Han Cai'er out of the car, one of them gave a dollar, the two coachmen were grateful, and shouted, "Thank you, Miss Sir! Thank you, Miss Sir!" Han Cai'er was embarrassed, where was she a young lady, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the three-story small British western-style building in front of her.

Snow-white columns, burgundy tiles, beautiful glass windows, and a low fenced wall, a stone path through a fountain divided into two, one leading to the doorstep and the other leading to the backyard, on which were naked children with wings blowing trumpets. Han Cai'er didn't know what it was called, but she thought it was cute.

Han Cai'er was a little frightened, and quietly moved closer to Lu Xihua, "Brother, are you working in this family?

Lu Xihua smiled, carried the burden, pushed open the wrought iron door, took Han Cai'er's hand and went into the house, "What old lady, this will be your home from now on, and my brother will live here!"

Han Cai'er was stunned when she heard this, she only knew that she was being led by Lu Xihua and walked in, and she didn't know what to say with her mouth open.

As soon as the two entered the gate, two middle-aged women came to say hello, "Hello sir, sir is back." ”

Lu Xihua put the burden at the door, took Han Cai'er's hand, and came to the two women, "This is my newly recognized sister, called Han Cai'er, and she will be the eldest lady of this house in the future." She has the right to inquire and assign big and small things in the house, so you can come and get to know each other. ”

The two middle-aged women listened to Lu Xihua's words, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Han Cai'er, "Hello Miss Cai'er!"

Han Cai'er's head is still wooden, and she didn't react, isn't my brother selling candy paintings? How could he see such a big house?

Lu Xihua pointed to the two middle-aged women and said, "This is Zhou's mother and Wu's mother, they are responsible for the sanitation and cleaning of the house, and they live in the workers' room next to it, so you can look for them if you have something to do in the future." There is also a flower worker Zhou Bo who is responsible for the pruning of the garden and some chores, he is Zhou's mother's husband, and he is a very good person. ”

After introducing the family, Lu Xihua continued, "Okay, Mother Wu, you take Miss Cai'er to take a bath first." Then let Cai'er choose a bedroom on the third floor, and buy it if there is anything missing. Mother Zhou, you call the tailor and ask them to send some suitable clothes, shoes and socks over, let Cai'er wear them first, and then send someone to measure Cai'er's size and make a few sets of clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter. This is the comfort that I didn't buy to wear. Okay, I'll go to the kitchen too, see what to buy, and celebrate, this is one more person in the house. Let's get busy, let's eat in a while. ”

Zhou's mother and Wu's mother all know that Lu Xihua is kind and likes to do some chores in person, hiring them to eat and live, and the price is not low. Mr. Lu loves cleanliness, his job is to wash and clean, there is no one at home, and there is no other work, the most leisurely, he hurriedly agreed, one led Han Caier to the third floor to pick a room, and the other hurriedly called the tailor to send some clothes first.

Han Caier slept on the big bed, wrapped in a soft eiderdown quilt, feeling like she was dreaming.

This morning, I used the bathroom for the first time, and I used something called shower gel, which looked like it was very expensive. "I'll just give it a try, a little bit. Han Cai'er was a little weak-hearted, but she quickly covered herself with foam. Smelling the aroma of the shower gel, Han Caier thought in admiration: "It's such a charming aroma, and it's smooth and comfortable." Reluctantly flushed off the bubbles, Han Caier got into the bathtub, and the slightly hot bath water seemed to take away the fatigue and grief of the past at once, "Oh~~ It's so comfortable." "After taking a shower, I smell fragrant.

My brother went out to buy roast goose and made four dishes, and saw that my brother divided each dish into two parts, one for Zhou's mother and Wu's mother, and it turned out that everyone ate the same. Han Caier really thinks that her brother is a good person, she used to hear her sister who worked for big families in the village say that they all eat single-made big pot dishes, and if the main family has leftover food that cannot be eaten, it will be rewarded to the housekeeper below, and it will not be the turn of the person who does the work to eat.

There are new clothes and socks in the closet, new leather shoes on the shoe rack, and my brother said that he will give himself a new gift tomorrow.

Han Cai'er, who was lying on the bed, felt as if time was blurred. The despair of my grandfather when he died yesterday, the gratitude when I heard that I was rescued by well-wishers, the sadness when I recalled my family, the anticipation when I longed to be taken in, the sweetness when I was recognized by my brother as my sister in public, and the shyness when I was called Miss by Zhou's mother and Wu's mother, all broke the boundaries of time and mixed together: despair and sadness are mixed together is one taste, sweetness and shyness are mixed together is another taste, and gratitude, despair, and sweetness are mixed together is another taste-countless tastes are tumbling in my heart.

Thinking of her brother, Han Caier buried her face in the eiderdown quilt embarrassed, the little girl is really shy. My brother is single, people like my brother so much, although my brother is not handsome, but it tastes good, I am afraid that I can't sleep at night, and I took a glass of warm milk for myself to drink, which is sweet, sweet and fragrant. Finally, Han Cai'er fell asleep in a burst of cranky thoughts, with a sweet smile on her face.
