Red apricots make spring

Chapter 53
Moving is a tiring job. That night, Wenrou was like a flowery mother who packed up some soft things. There are ready-made furniture in the rented house, so Wenrou didn't plan to take those clumsy household items.She originally planned to get up early the next day, but before the neighbors got up, she quietly moved the house first, so as not to leak the news, but she was too tired from running around the day before, so she went to bed late in the morning. A bunch of old neighbors have gathered around, chatting endlessly with Ruhua's mother.

"Mother Wen, are you moving?"

"Yes! It's just that the things in the house are too heavy to take away, so I invite everyone to come and have a look. If you are useful, you can give me a couple of dollars and move it!"

"I heard that your daughter has returned from ransom?"

"It's a rare grace from the master and wife of the Zhao family, allowing her to redeem her body at the original price! I just came back yesterday."

"No wonder I said why you want to move suddenly! You are leaving our poor alley and enjoying the blessing of your daughter!"

"Mother Sun, look at what you said! How can I have a happy life? It's just a hard life."

"Don't say that. I think your daughter is a blessed one. She is so good-looking and intelligent. She will marry a good family in the future!"

"Isn't it? Let's say that in our alley, your family is not the only one who sells children and daughters. Did you hear that a boy and a girl came out with money to redeem themselves? It must be your daughter who is well-behaved and has done well in the Zhao residence. If you get the reward, you will have a bright future!"

Ruhua's mother chatted with the neighbors, her voice was loud and clear, and her tenderness could hardly connect her with the awkward woman he saw for the first time.Hearing these words, she hurriedly put on her clothes, ran out from the back room, pulled her mother into the room, lowered her voice and said angrily: "Didn't you agree yesterday, get up early and go quietly, why did you make such a move?" People!"

"Didn't I want to sell the belongings in the house and exchange them for two dollars to supplement the family?" Mother Wen couldn't figure it out. It was just a move. Why didn't her daughter let her know?She felt sorry for the few money, and when she got up early, she saw Wen Rou was sleeping soundly, after thinking about it, she didn't think there was any hindrance, so she called someone over on her own initiative.

"You!" Wenrou was so angry that her chest was stuffy, but there were so many people around the door, some things were really hard to say, not to mention that people had already called, even if they would all be blown away, the news had already leaked, and it was all her own fault. Yesterday, I didn't emphasize the tone and told her not to say anything!It's too late to regret it now, so I can only put my hands away, stand aside and watch coldly, and let her deal with it.

Neighbors in the neighborhood entered the door and looked around. One said they wanted a table, the other said they wanted a bed, and they distributed all the things in a short while, and someone said to Rou Rou: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you have grown into a big girl." Look at this appearance, you are as handsome as a flower, did your mother marry someone for you? If not, can sister-in-law be a matchmaker for you?"

Rourou looked at the woman's big yellow teeth, forced a blunt smile, then turned her face away, pretending to talk to Wen Gang, and ignored her.

Seeing that Wen Wen didn't answer, the woman didn't show any embarrassment on her face, so she turned her head and said to Wen's mother, "Where are you going to move?"

Just as Mama Wen was about to answer, she felt her clothes being pulled tightly behind her twice, so she had to swallow the words that were already on the tip of her tongue, and said vaguely, "It's far away, it's far away..."

The woman received two cold receptions in succession, and became more and more embarrassed, she just said, "Come back to see the old neighbor when I have time in the future." She turned her head away with her mouth flattened.

It was so easy to get rid of the people in the room, and her gentle face immediately sank, and then she looked at the more than 100 copper coins pinched in Mother Wen's hand, and shook her head endlessly.For her, time is money!Is it worth it to waste this early morning and vent a lot of things just for the 100-odd coins?
When Ms. Wen saw Wen Wen's face changed, she immediately felt uneasy. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her actions, but for some reason, as long as her daughter's face darkened, she would panic in her heart. This situation was the same as when her husband was alive. , She saw her husband's face darkened, and she was panic-stricken!
"Mother, since you've done this, it's fine." Seeing her cautious appearance, Rourou sighed inwardly, and didn't want to say anything more about her, but told her: "There are two things now, you have to rely on them." Do as I say, and you can never go wrong!"

"Say it, say it! I'll do what you want!" Mother Wen smiled when she saw her daughter's face relaxed.

"Gang'er, come here and listen too." Rourou called Wen Gang who was gnawing marrow cakes, and continued, "The first thing to do is that if anyone asks if I'm married in the future, you just say that I have already agreed." My family, it was the story I made up when I asked my mother to redeem me last time, and it was agreed to get married in the next year."

Mother Wen and Wen Gang nodded in agreement, and said softly, "One more thing is that Xiaohuan lives with us, so we have to change her name to Xiaoxi. After moving in, if the neighbors ask , just say she is my cousin, if people outside the neighborhood ask, you don't bother."

After the two agreed, Mother Wen thought about it carefully, and said something else, she looked at Wen Wen's face first and said: "Both of these things are up to you, but you just said that you promised someone, then who will come to propose marriage in the future? You can't stay unmarried forever, can you?"

"Let's talk about the future, maybe next year, we won't live in this city." Wen Wen turned around and packed up her things after she finished speaking, she had already planned to leave here, away from Zhao Mansion, away from those people The people who used to know Ruhua were as far away as possible, but they were temporarily stumbled by Mrs. Liu's affairs and couldn't go away.

After a busy morning, she finally moved Xiruan into the new house. Seeing that there was no one in the alley at noon, Wenrou called Xiaohuan out of the old widow's house, and let her meet Wen's mother and Wen Gang.Rourou told the three of them in detail some precautions that she thought of when she moved, and then she finally breathed a sigh of relief and settled down for the time being.

Poor people in this world do not have the habit of eating three meals a day. They often get up early to cook a big pot of rice, eat it around midnight, and reheat the leftovers for another meal around midnight.Rourou is used to eating three meals, Xiaohuan has been staying in Zhao's residence, and eats a lot of meals, not used to this two-meal system, but even though Wen Gang's health has improved a lot, he still needs more nutrition, Gentle and convenient It was decided that the family would eat three meals in the future, and Mama Wen would buy the rice and vegetables, and she would make them by herself.

After all, Wen Rou is a chef, no matter how simple the dish is, the taste is very different from that of ordinary people.For this lunch, she simply made a pot of tofu and stir-fried shredded pork and cabbage, and then she ate Wen Gang well, filling two big bowls of rice, while Mama Wen was there While eating, I feel sorry for the cooking oil. After all, the edible vegetable oil here is only sesame oil, almond oil, turnip seed oil, cocklebur seed oil, black tallow seed oil, etc., and the output is not large, and the precious one is very expensive. If it is meat oil, it is common It's just a kind of lard, and the price is not cheap.
