Rebirth of the Lin family's wife

Chapter 46

Hui Yimei carried the rattan box and walked ahead to lead the way.

Lin Yuexian followed behind her.

She stopped in front of a four-story apartment building and rang the brass bell at the door.

Not long after, a gray-haired, blue-eyed, fat middle-aged woman came and opened the door.

"Mrs. Bruce, hello!" Hui Yimei greeted.

Mrs. Bruce looked at her for a while before recognizing her, "Ah! Winnie, long time no see, I thought you wouldn't come back..."

As she spoke, Mrs. Bruce sized up Lin Yuexian, who was following her with a sick face.

Hui Yi smiled and said, "This is me... well, my husband William, I want to ask, do you still have a house to rent here?"

Mrs. Bruce thought for a while, and said, "Your original room has been rented out... However, there is another room on the fourth floor, which is very large and suitable for the two of you."

Hui Yimei said happily, "Then can we take a look first?"

"of course can."

Mrs. Bruce led the way and led the two up to the fourth floor.

Strictly speaking, the fourth floor is actually a half-floor structure, that is to say... there is actually only one room on the fourth floor; therefore, it has a very wide platform, and the landlady also placed some flowers and plants here What.

Hui Yimei was very satisfied.

She didn't even discuss it with Lin Yuexian, and directly decided to rent it.

Hui Yimei put down her luggage, moved a chair out of the room with great effort, and let Lin Yuexian sit in the sun to rest.

—He was seasick.

They floated on the boat for a few days, and he vomited day and night for a few days...

Hui Yimei had never encountered such a situation, even if she bought seasickness medicine for him.But after taking the seasickness medicine, he fell into a drowsy sleep all the time, but after waking up, he kept vomiting again.

Over the past few days, he has become a skeleton.

At this moment Hui Yimei asked him to sit in the chair and bask in the sun, but he didn't refuse, and just sat on the chair silently.

Come to think of it, he must be very uncomfortable.

But Hui Yimei's mood was very high.

After temporarily settling in Lin Yuexian, she went to the landlady on the first floor to sign the rental contract, borrowed buckets, brooms, mops, and rags from the landlady, and brought up a box of luggage that had been left here before. .

She first dug out the thin quilts from the box and hung them to dry on the roof of the fourth floor, then hurriedly started cleaning the house for sanitation.

Wipe the furniture and the floor of the house clean, and then take out the things he and he brought out of the suitcase one by one, and put them all in order...

Outside the house, Lin Yuexian had already fallen asleep in the recliner.

Hui Yimei thought for a while, and quietly went downstairs with her wallet.

She went to a nearby market and bought curtains, a complete set of sheets and quilts, a stove, pots and pans, various condiments, a slaughtered chicken, a bag of flour, etc...

She had it delivered to the apartment where she lived.

When carrying things upstairs, Lin Yuexian was awakened.

He opened his eyes dazedly.

Seeing that she was panting heavily from exhaustion, and her pretty face was drenched with sweat; he quickly stood up and walked towards her.

"Don't move, take a good rest," Huiyi said panting, "I'll fix it soon..."

Lin Yuexian had already rolled up his sleeves, and helped her organize everything one by one without saying a word.

But because he has been seasick all the time, he hasn't eaten well on the boat for several days, so his steps are very sluggish at the moment; Hui Yimei persuaded him several times, but seeing that he still refused to listen, let it be.

Even when he was sick, his strength was much stronger than hers, he carried a stove in one hand, and a bag of flour in the other, turned around and left...

Hui Yimei can only compete with him for speed.

After all, he is sick, so his walking speed is not too fast; Hui Yimei is holding the big and small bags, running fast time after time...

The two of them worked together and quickly packed everything up.

Hui Yimei ran outside to look at the quilt she was drying in the sun.

She took back the quilt and spread it on the bed, turned her head and said to him, "Lin Ziqian, you sleep on the bed for a while, I'll boil some water and make chicken soup, you can eat it when you wake up .”

Lin Yuexian said hoarsely, "Let's go out to eat."

Hui Yi shook her head.

She took out a pair of newly bought slippers and put them in front of him, signaling him to go to bed and rest after changing his shoes.

Lin Yuexian was already ill, and he was sweating again when he was moving things just now, and he was already dizzy to the point of being unbearable, so he had to follow her to change into slippers, went to the bed and fell asleep.

Seeing him falling asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She pulled the blanket over his waist...

Hui Yimei walked out of the room and started a fire with a small stove outside the porch.

In fact, the landlord’s wife has a communal kitchen on the first floor. There are some ovens and stoves in the communal kitchen, but it’s quite troublesome to go up and down; so most renters choose to prepare a small stove by themselves, and cook something by themselves , or go out to eat is very convenient.

However, Hui Yimei could tell that Lin Yuexian was not used to the food here at all.

Plus he's still sick...

She decided to cook something lighter.

First boil a pot of boiling water, scald all the bowls, chopsticks and cups with boiling water, then boil another pot of water and put it in a thermos; then she put a whole chopped chicken nugget Put it into a small tin pot with two ears, put a few slices of ginger and red dates, add water and cover it.

Then, she poured some flour into the basin, added some water to knead the dough, and put the big lump of dough outside.

Next, she started tidying up the room.

The reason why Hui Yimei fell in love with this house at first sight was that apart from the huge rooftop outside the room, the most important thing was that there were two single beds in the room!

The bed by the window let Lin Yuexian sleep, so she started to tidy up the bed by the wall.

After tidying up the bed, she started to pick up the needle and thread again, and sewed a few pieces of small floral cloth that she bought back into a curtain, and hung it on the window; One piece was also sewn into a door curtain and blocked in front of his bed...

Anyway, there is no need for very exquisite embroidery work, just to close the corners of the cloth, and it will be done quickly.

The chicken soup on the small stove was gurgling and rolling.

Hui Yimei walked over, and gently opened the lid a thin crack.

The rich aroma of chicken soup mixed with red dates permeates immediately.

Lin Yuexian opened his eyes slightly.

A woman with curly hair in a half-worn sarong was busy in the room lightly.

He looked at her quietly.

The long hours of hard work have caused her to loose a few strands of her long hair, hanging casually around her face and behind her head, giving off a coquettish and lazy beauty; she smiles at the corners of her mouth, and her movements are quick and gentle, as if she still Humming a song in a low voice...

Lin Yuexian smiled slightly.

She is his wife.

He looked around slightly, and found that the room had changed drastically.

The damp and cold atmosphere has been completely driven away by the sunlight slanting in from the window, and there are beautiful warm-colored curtains printed with pink flowers on a white background; the opposite is her bed, and it can be seen that she also hangs a light curtain. Yellow cloth curtain... Well, she also hung a light green cloth curtain beside the bed where he is sleeping now.

With these light-colored curtains in the room, it seems to become warm and harmonious.

And there seemed to be some inexplicable stains on the wall, but now she hung some decorative paintings to cover all those stains.

In addition, on the window sill, on the cabinet, on the table, and on the porch, you can see some gadgets that she arranged everywhere. It seems a bit strange, but it is undeniable that... this room also becomes beautiful And much neater.

A familiar aroma of broth wafted into the room.

Lin Yuexian's stomach suddenly gurgled and sang "Empty City Strategies".

Hui Yi turned her eyebrows and turned her head. Seeing that he was awake, she smiled sweetly, "...Are you awake? I'm going to cook gnocchi soup, and I can eat right away."

She lifted the cloth curtain that blocked the door and went outside to the small stove.

Lin Yuexian sat up, stared blankly for a while, and then walked out slowly with his slippers on.

He saw a pot of boiling water on the small stove. She was sitting on a small bench in front of the stove, holding a basin in her arms, and was using chopsticks to break the dough in the basin bit by bit, and put it into the boiling water pot to boil until cooked. , and then threw a few shredded cabbage leaves into it.

After a while, the white and fat gnocchi floated to the surface of the water one by one, Hui Yimei was busy adding salt and oil to the soup...

Soon, a pot of gnocchi was cooked.

She put the gnocchi soup together with the pot on the small table, and put the pot of chicken soup that had been boiled earlier on the small table, and then took a long-handled spoon and began to divide the soup.

Lin Yuexian looked at her steadily.

To be honest, I came to England in a hurry, and the speed is unimaginable.

So he was really not mentally prepared.

but……

This change is really too big!

Especially her.

How could she endure such a drastic transformation?
In China, she is a noble lady who is held in the palm of the hand and cared for. He doesn't know how she lived in Hui's family before; There are at least three or four servants in the yard who are dedicated to taking care of her food and daily life.

But in this place, she has to move things by herself, clean up the house by herself, and cook by herself. It seems that she has to do everything by herself; won't rent...

But now, Lin Yuexian suddenly felt a little bit reluctant to clean up the house like this.

He felt that he could not understand her.

They obviously have money and can rent a better house, so why do they have to live here?

"Drink the chicken soup quickly, drink it while it's hot." Hui Yimei urged.

He picked up the bowl as he said, and took a sip of the fragrant and slightly sweet red date chicken soup.

As if she knew the question in his mind, she explained, "...my school is not far from here, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk there. In this house, most of my classmates are from the same school..."

Lin Yuexian suddenly realized.

She continued, "I'll take you to Dunpu University after a few days when you feel better... However, Dunpu University is a bit far from here, so I'm afraid you'll have to take a tram there..."

After a pause, Hui Yimei said, "Don't think this house is bad, you will have feelings after living for a long time... Besides, in England, there are no real rich people, you will only feel that the money is not enough... "

Seeing that although Lin Yuexian didn't speak, she obviously refused to agree, she smiled and said, "In England, under the general trend of industrial reform, as long as you can think of machinery, someone will find a way to create and invent it. The same is true for literature and art...now there are all kinds of technical books, literary works and various literary treasures in bookstores. Become a pauper..."

she was joking...

Lin Yuexian laughed.

A young lady who was pampered and brought up can live a prosperous life in such a bitter cold place.

Is he not as good as a weak woman?
What's more, living in a house that she cleaned up with her own hands, eating the food she cooked, and being with her intimately day and night... Such a feeling, even if you live in a palace made of gold and jade, you may not have the feeling you have now. experience.

After eating a bowl of unusually delicious chicken soup, Lin Yuexian still couldn't stop.

Hui Yimei had already added a bowl of soup with chicken nuggets to him with a long-handled spoon.

"Actually, there isn't much good food in England. The restaurants outside only have steaks and potatoes, and they're expensive," she said with a smile. "In the future, we'll cook as much as we can..."

"tired."

he said succinctly.

Hui Yimei looked at him and smiled, "...you will know in the future, even if you are tired, it is better to cook at home."

Lin Yuexian did not refute her.

Because he likes to see her smiling face.
