Red apricots make spring

Chapter 52
That night Rourou wanted to go home, but Xiaohuan had never had the experience of spending the night outside alone, and she suddenly asked her to sleep alone in this strange house. The landlord, the old widow, locked the door and walked back.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, except for a little dim light from the paper windows on both sides of the road, there was only a faint light from the rising moon that could be used to argue the way. With one foot high and one foot low, they finally found their way back to Ruhua's house, and when they entered the door, they saw mother and son sitting at the table having dinner.

"Sister, you're back! We've been waiting for you for over an hour, shall we eat?" Seeing her enter the door, Wen Gang immediately put down his chopsticks, ready to stand up and serve her a meal.

"Eat quickly, don't worry about me, I have eaten it before." Gentle said, put the remaining piece of honey marrow cake on the side of the table, and then looked at the dishes on the table, there is meat and soup, and then order Sitting at the table and watching them eat, he pondered for a while and said, "I've found a new place to live. Let's move tomorrow morning."

"Moving?" Wen Gang didn't know anything about it, so he was naturally very surprised.

Ruhua Niang was also taken aback and said, "You found the house so quickly?"

"Well, the place is quite spacious, let's move there for a while." Rourou was hesitating how to tell them about Xiaohuan, and they would meet each other often in the future, so she couldn't hide it, so she hid Xiaohuan's escape As a slave, she only presumes that she is an old acquaintance of the Zhao family, and the mansion where she redeemed her body, but her mother has suffered something now, and she is alone and helpless outside, so she has to live at home for a while.

"Okay!" Wen Gang heard that Xiaohuan was about the same age as him, and had an extra playmate, so he was too happy.

Ruhua's mother was timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so she tapped Wen Gang's bowl with her chopsticks, ordered him to eat quickly and not to meddle in the adults' affairs, then hesitated for a long time and said: "Let's not meddle in other people's affairs. .”

Rourou glanced at her lightly, then lowered her eyes and said: "As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Xiaohuan's mother took good care of me when she was in the mansion. Now she has an accident and entrusted me to take care of her daughter. How can I take care of her?" Can you ignore it?"

"Then what happened to her? Is it important?" Ruhua's mother was still worried and wanted to ask carefully.

"I can't explain clearly in a few words, mother, you still don't want to worry about it." Rourou pushed the words back, and said cautiously: "It's just that I have to tell you in advance, if someone comes to Xiaohuan, or asks When it comes to her mother's matter, you just pretend that you have never heard of these two people, and if you don't know, it's over, and I will deal with other matters."

Wen Gang nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, and promised: "Sister, don't worry, I will write this down, and I will definitely not talk about it."

Ruhua's mother was silent, guessing the seriousness of the situation in her heart, and said worriedly: "Hearing what you said, why am I so flustered in my heart? It shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Seeing her pestering and questioning, Wen Rou simply told the matter to the outside world, as well as scaring her, lest she take it seriously and talk nonsense, so she nodded and said: "It's a big deal, if people know that we are related to them, I'm afraid it will be a big deal." Lose your head."

"Ah——" Ruhua's mother panicked when she heard this, and almost smashed the rice bowl in her hand on the table, and said in a trembling voice: "My son, we can't take care of this matter! Listen to my mother's advice, hurry up and find a place tomorrow It's fine if they can't find them, but you can't take our family's life for other people's affairs, let alone your brother is so young..."

"Mother!" The doors and windows were closed, but in order to prevent the partition wall from having ears, Wen Rou still suppressed the anger in her heart and lowered her voice, but her tone was unquestionable, she said in a deep voice: "You should not meddle in other people's affairs, But Xiaohuan and I love each other as sisters, and I still have to take care of her affairs if I have the power to spare! As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one will know about it!"

As she said that, she stared at Wen Gang's face again and said: "Brother, please remember that we must not be ungrateful as human beings. When those who have helped you encounter difficulties, as long as we can, we must help them. In this way In the future, if you are in trouble, someone will help you! Of course, you must have a scale in your heart to measure right and wrong, and know which kind and good people should help and which treacherous and evil people should not help. But this kind of thing is a few words I can't tell, but my sister will send you to study and read in the future, and when you study more books, you will naturally understand these principles."

These words were really from the heart, although on the surface, Xiaohuan and Mrs. Liu did not show any great kindness to her, but without them, she would not be able to earn money at all, and would not be able to redeem herself. It was the friendship that Xiaohuan gave her without hesitation when she first met her. To the tenderness who was surrounded by white eyes and ridicule, it was like sending charcoal in the snow. This kind of affection is worth more than gold, and she must cherish it.

"Sister, you want to send me to study?" Wen Gang's eyes were shining brightly, and his face was flushed with excitement.

"Well, when life stabilizes, I will find a good husband for you. If you study more, you will have a good career in the future." No matter what age you are, reading more is not a bad thing, I believe she will take care of you Well, Wen Gang won't read like a pedantic nerd.

"You two brothers... really..." Ru Hua's mother was so anxious that she couldn't get in, but she couldn't help but feel a little happy when she heard that Wen Rou was willing to help her son study. Her current state of mind is really dumbfounding, but Still thinking about trying to persuade her daughter a few more words, she said earnestly: "Rou'er, you..."

"Mother!" Rourou interrupted her again: "I naturally have a sense of propriety in doing things, so you don't need to worry about it anymore! But you must remember what I told you, and you can't confide a word even if you die!"

Wen Gang nodded again and again, but looked at Wen Wen's eyes somewhat puzzled, feeling that his sister had changed a bit, and he almost didn't know her anymore.In the past, if there was anything in the family, my sister would do what my mother said. I never made up my own mind, but the elder sister in front of me spoke and acted decisively, and she seemed to have more ideas than my mother.Wen Gang suddenly felt that such a change was actually not bad. After all, what his mother said was always nagging from the parents, and he didn't like to listen to it. However, although he didn't understand what his sister said, he felt more and more profound and reasonable.

Ruhua's mother looked at her son, then at her daughter, and suddenly realized that she was no longer in charge of this family from the moment her daughter redeemed herself from the Zhao Mansion!But that's fine too, she was originally a woman with no opinions and couldn't even support her son. Now that her daughter can earn money, support the family, and support her son to study, let her take care of the burden of maintaining the family. pick it!I've been tired for a long time, and it's time to take a break!What's more, what if you don't listen to her?Have a big fight with her, or spread the word about Xiaohuan?Forget it, in the end it will only lead to the destruction of my own family!
She sighed, seeing Wenrou looking at her with questioning eyes, she nodded and promised to keep her mouth shut.
