Nine Zero, the cannon fodder wife of the paranoid boss is reborn

Chapter 27
When Xiao Wei thought that Xiao Cheng would be the same as before, not going home for three days, but Xiao Cheng went home every day uncharacteristically, and ate three meals a day at home.

Compared to Bai Lu being angry and frying peppers, Xiao Wei felt that Xiao Cheng's anger was more terrifying, and he was almost out of breath.

When I came back from school the next afternoon, I finally couldn't help it, and ran to the kitchen without doing my homework.

"Did you and my brother quarrel again?" The little guy asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

"No." Bai Lu said calmly.

Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, he chopped the chili vigorously, and the fiery red chili was broken into pieces.

Xiao Cheng was still building a house next door. In the empty kitchen, the sound of chopping was especially loud.

The corner of Xiao Wei's mouth twitched slightly, the chopping sound not only resounded through the yard, but could be heard from the neighbors...

Recalling what Bai Lu told him last night, she asked, "My brother won't let you sell chestnuts?"

The kitchen knife in Bai Lu's hand stopped, and her angry face was replaced by astonishment: "How do you know?"

Xiao Wei gave her a blank look, "You used to not go out, and when you went out, you took the money from my brother to Li Shuixian. You don't know what reputation my brother has in this area? What do you want to give money to Li Shuixian?" , I don’t know, but do you think my brother doesn’t know?”

He is only seven years old, but at least he has eyes and a brain.

Bai Lu did this, what else could she do besides running away?

Now that she wants to sell sugar-fried chestnuts, she doesn't need to think about it, she must want to save money and run away again.

Running away is still the second priority, if Bai Lu is like the woman in the West Street neighbor Auntie Zhang said, in order to be with the big boss in Nanshi, she would cruelly destroy her child...

What Xiao Wei can think of, Xiao Cheng can't think of?
Finally understanding everything, Bai Lu suddenly realized that her face was helpless and sad, and it was her stomach that caused the trouble again.

"But I said that the money from the sale will belong to him..." Bai Lu sighed, isn't that honest enough?

She still wanted to return it to him directly, but what she thought was completely different from what she thought.

Directly reject her proposal and sentence her to death.

Xiao Wei didn't understand Xiao Cheng's thinking either, but Bai Lu's actions during the past two months had already been etched into his mind, and it wasn't something that could be easily reversed by a few days of change.

"Maybe you didn't explain clearly."

"How else to explain?"

Bai Lu looked distressed: "This is already the most correct and reasonable explanation."

Xiao Wei scratched his head, he didn't understand what the adults were thinking, so let's go back to the room and do homework.

As soon as he turned around, there was a ding ding sound outside.

"The old man who sells maltose is here."

Not only Xiao Wei still remembers the thick and long melody, but Bai Lu is also brought into memory.

Outside the quiet and peaceful family compound, there will always be some beautiful sounds, which can attract everyone's attention, no matter adults or children.

Under the hand of her parents or grandparents, she would always bounce around outside the courtyard to buy the sweets she likes.

--maltose.

Xiao Wei was dragged out of the house by Bai Lu with a dazed expression on his face.

He just said "the old man who sells malt candy is here", and his little hand was held by a big warm and soft hand.

He was still hesitating whether to shake off her hand, but he had already been led outside the door.

"Little girl, kid, do you want malt candy?"

The old man who sells maltose has gray hair and short beard. He has an amiable voice. When he smiles, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are very kind. He is carrying a pole with a round dustpan on top of two bamboo baskets.

In the dustpan, next to the big milky white maltose, there is a small iron cone and a small iron spatula for breaking up the maltose. Maltose of different shapes and sizes are scattered around.

Bai Lu asked, "How much is a catty?"

The old man said: "Two yuan and five catties."

Bai Lu asked the grandfather to help weigh a catty, and then happily paid for it, Xiao Wei's hand was finally freed.

The different temperature in the palm of his hand, which lasted for a long time, made him a little dazed, and he watched Bai Lu buy candy in a daze.

The old man was still famous, and handed him a small piece of malt candy with a smile: "Try it, kid, grandpa's malt candy is really sweet. Last night, there was a very handsome big brother who rode a [-]-year-old Bar bike, come all the way from your town to buy candy with me."

The old man lived in Qingshui Town next door. He said it was not far, and he said it was not close.

It takes more than two hours to walk.

After walking through this street, he has to go home, otherwise the sun will go down and the lights will be dark and the road will be difficult to see.

Bai Lu had already taken out the money from her pocket, and was counting two and a half dollars, when she heard this, she paused.

The old man went on to say: "I remember that young man, he seems to live near here. I have never seen him buy maltose when I came here before. Last night when the sun was setting, I suddenly came to buy maltose. I said that there is no maltose at home. It's very late today, and I'll pick it up and sell it tomorrow when it's finished, but he refuses to die and insists on me doing it on the spot."

"Young people nowadays, to make a little girl happy, really don't even understand us old people~"

The helpless laughter of the old man floated farther and farther with the sound of ding ding, and was blown away by the wind in bursts of sweetness.

Bai Lu stuffed the maltose into Xiao Wei's hand, and ran back to the room at high speed, rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Finally, in the drawer where the itemized bills were placed, I found a large paper bag folded from old newspapers.

Take it out and put it on the table.

Open it slowly along the creases, and there are white flowers inside, small candies of different shapes, scattered and neatly piled up into a hill, more than what she bought just now.

Bai Lu picked up one and put it in her mouth.

Very sweet.

Just like the one that melted between the lips and teeth last night, after chewing hard, it was still sweet into honey.

It turned out that he bought more than two...

There is no bicycle at home, and Erba Dagang doesn't know who he borrowed it from, so he has to go so far.

To be honest, Xiao Wei was still a little jealous, especially when he saw Bai Lu eating those malt candies on the table, his face was full of aftertaste, happy and intoxicated.

That was the candy his elder brother bought!
It was his icy big brother who never bought maltose for him, nor for anyone else!
Xiao Wei suddenly felt that the catty of maltose in his hand was no longer fragrant.

Dinner was miraculously free of chili.

The food was still delicious. Everyone ate two bowls of rice, and every dish on the table was shining brightly.

The night was dark and the moon came out.

There was only the sound of washing clothes in the yard, Bai Lu pondered for a long time, took a few sneak peeks, and saw the silent man washing clothes with a cold and stern face.

Finally, muster up the courage.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

A knock on the door was one step ahead of her and interrupted.

Bai Lu gritted her teeth and stared at the door, if there is no urgent matter, let's see how she fixes the door!

"Brother Cheng."

Luo Shiliu's playful voice came from a bandit's naughty voice: "The time limit is up."
