Across the Market

Chapter 47

After shopping and returning home, it was already midnight. Wei Sanniang thought that her mother-in-law and her uncle's family would move to the city tomorrow, so she hurried to the rented room across the river with a broom and feather duster. House cleaning.Zhu Da can't do heavy physical work now, but he can still do these small things, so he went with his wife.

Finally renting a room to take his old lady to live in the city, Zhu Da was also happy in his heart, rubbing his hands and laughing non-stop.

Zhu Fu looked up at the sky, thinking that it was time to go to the Jingbin Building to do some work, so he said to Zhu Xi: "Elder Sister, you can lead them to play, I'll go next door to find Yuzhu."

Sister Nuan saw that her second sister was about to go out, so Xiaopang walked over staggeringly, stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Zhu Fu's clothes and said, "Second sister, where are you going? Where are you going? I want to go with you." He hugged his second sister's waist tightly with his little hand, and refused to let go no matter what.

This girl has a lot of energy, Zhu Fu couldn't walk away, so he smiled and patted her head: "Second sister, go to earn money, earn money to buy beautiful clothes for sister Nuan, and to bring grandma's family into the city. "

Sister Nuan pursed her mouth, her dark eyes rolled around: "I also want to make money, just like Second Sister."

Zhu Fu picked up his younger sister, let her sit in front of Brother Shou, and told her, "Miss Nuan, although you are five years old, you are an older child, but you are still not capable of doing what sisters are capable of. Work. How about this, since you want to earn money, my sister will arrange tasks for you every day, and if you complete it, my sister will give you money every day, okay?"

"Can I really make money?" Sister Nuan happily patted her little meaty hands, sitting on a small stool and wriggling around, her chubby little face was full of smiles, "I want to make money too, so I can give flowers to grandma." , Flowers for parents, and flowers for older brothers, sisters and brother Shou.”

"Miss Nuan is so good." Zhu Fu touched his sister's bruised cheeks from the cold, then reached out to sweep her thick bangs covering her forehead, and arranged work for her, "Hey, from now on, if When your parents and older brothers and sisters are busy, you have to help take care of your younger brother. If you are not busy, sister Nuan has to learn to read and write. Brother Gui will go to the city tomorrow, and then let Brother Gui teach you .Although we don’t need to be talented women, it’s always good to know a few more words and read more books. If you can do this every day, the second sister will give you ten pennies a day, and you can save the money , you can also bring your younger brother to buy delicious food, okay?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xi hurriedly persuaded: "Sister Fu, Sister Nuan is still a little younger, if you give her money, she will spend it recklessly."

Zhu Fu asked his sister, "Is Miss Nuan still a child? If my sister gave you money, how would you spend it?"

Sister Nuan stretched out both hands, looked at her hands, and asked Zhu Fu in disbelief: "Second sister, ten? Do you have ten every day?"

Zhu Fu smiled and replied, "Yes, this is only temporary. In the future, when you grow bigger, the second sister will give you more. If you do well, the second sister will reward you with sugar people, cakes, and eggs every day. Can you tell the elder sister and the second sister that they can do well?"

Sister Nuan threw herself into Zhu Fu's arms and rubbed her head hard: "Yes, I will. I will be obedient and take good care of my younger brother. If the second sister gives me money, I can buy Zhang Fei for Brother Shou every day." , I can buy..." She stretched out her finger and counted, "I can buy three, four, five."

Zhu Xi glanced at Zhu Fu, feeling more and more that the girl in front of him had grown up and became more assertive.

Seeing that it was getting late, she was afraid that her parents would be too busy, so she handed over the responsibility of taking care of Brother Shou to her younger sister.

"Sister Nuan, elder sister is going to help parents by the river, how about you play with younger brother at home?" Seeing that the younger sister was happily holding his brother's hand, Zhu Xi smiled even more, "Brother is just ahead Blacksmithing in the shop, if there is anything, you can call brother, understand?"

Sister Nuan nodded obediently: "Understood, elder sister, you go and do your work, I will take good care of my brother." When she turned her head and saw her brother bowed his head to play with the little chicken, she also squatted over, "Brother Shou , will the third sister take care of you in the future, okay? Let's play together, you are obedient, and the third sister will buy Zhang Fei for you to eat."

Zhu Xi went to help clean up the newly rented house opposite, while Zhu Fu went to Shen's house next door. After knocking for a long time, it was Shen Yulou who opened the door.

Seeing that it was Zhu Fu who came, Shen Yuzhu rushed to the door, hugged Zhu Fu and said, "Little Ah Fu, you are finally here, I am relieved to see you coming." Then she raised her chin in front of her brother, and said unconvincingly , "Brother, whether you and mother agree or not, I must go anyway."

Shen Yulou glanced at Zhu Fu, there was a slight layer of anger on his fair face, his lips were tightly pursed, and he did not speak.

Zhu Fu didn't dare to look into Shen Yulou's eyes, avoided his gaze and shouted inside: "Ms. Shen, Yuzhu and I went to Jingbin Building to do some work, don't worry, we will come home together after we finish our work, nothing will happen to you .”

Aunt Shen came out in response, glanced at her son, and said to Zhu Fu: "Auntie heard from Yuzhu that Ah Fu found an errand in the Jingbin Building. By the way, not only is her tofu found, but also It is thanks to you that I can go to Jingbin Building to work every day."

Zhu Fu felt embarrassed, rubbed his nose and said: "It should be said that Yuzhu and I help each other. With her here, even if I go home later, I won't be afraid."

"Well, since that's the case, you go." Aunt Shen looked at her son, and then said to her daughter, "You go, mother is in charge, come home earlier."

Shen Yulou frowned: "Mother..."
