Escape from the desert

Chapter 176 Residence
Jiang Yan asked Lin Dong to drive the carriage forward again, and went to the house rented by Qiao Le. There were already two children in shabby clothes squatting outside the door, and they had been waiting for a long time.

"This is the place I found for Mr. Qiao. It's a little rough, please bear with me." Jiang Yan led Lin Feng to the front, and the two children immediately opened the fence gate of the yard, looking expectantly and amazed. With Jole.

Several neighbors around also came out to watch the fun, asking each other what Aunt Jiang's family was doing, and why they brought a strange man back.

"Aunt Jiang, don't underestimate yourself. I'm not a nobleman. If you didn't think highly of me, I'm just an apprentice in a small medical clinic now."

He has a clear voice, a warm face, and a shallow smile. He has a sense of alienation that makes people dare not look directly at him. That kind of unreachable temperament like a banished fairy makes everyone around him lose color. Hearing his voice, seeing that face and that posture, he froze in place for a moment.

Qiao Lesheng's look is very good-looking, it is the kind of gentle and beautiful book, not charming, and now when he smiles, people dare not be profane, and the temperament that is not stained by mud makes people can only look at it from a distance without feeling profane.

As if aware of this, the expression on Qiao Le's face faded away, replaced by a look of indifference and world-weariness.

The carriage stopped directly at the gate, and Lin Dong and the others quickly started to unload the luggage.

Lin Dong: "Mr. Qiao, you go into the house and have a look, how to put these things, we will put them away for you, and save you from moving around."

Qiao Le nodded, and followed Jiang Yan into the house. This thatched house has three rooms plus a small hall. His room is on the far right, the one with the best light and the largest. He frowned as soon as he entered, the largest His room was too small for him. If all those books were moved in, he might not have a place to stay.

Jiang Yan also noticed this problem, the room has been tidied up very clean, the bedding sheets she bought were arranged in the room by her two daughters-in-law early, compared with the last time she left, this room is completely new.

"Elder baby and second baby, I want to rent another room. How about you two sleeping in one room in the future?"

The eldest child and the second child are the owners of the house. They are twelve and ten years old, but they have been dependent on each other and have lived alone for more than four years. Hearing Jiang Yan's words, the two children who were as thin as bamboo poles immediately nodded wildly.

The eldest baby blushed, looked at Qiao Le with embarrassment, then lowered her eyes and said obediently: "Yes, auntie, the second baby and I used to sleep together. If you don't rent them, both rooms are vacant." of."

One house costs one hundred Wen a month, and two houses cost two hundred Wen. Even if they don’t go to the mountains occasionally to find something to eat, they still have money to buy food. For them, this money is like a big drop from the sky. like a cake.

Thinking of this, the eyes of the eldest child are almost moist. Last year, the younger brother almost didn't survive. If the village head's family hadn't lent them food, he and his younger brother would have starved to death last winter. But this year, with the rent, this winter They won't starve to death...

"That's good." Jiang Yan nodded with a smile, and said to Qiao Le: "This room will be your bedroom, and the other one will be your study."

I followed the eldest child to another room. There were no empty beds, only a few bundles of firewood, but the rest of the open space was swept quite clean. It can be seen that the two young landlords are also quite diligent.

Jiang Yan's commander, Lin Dong and Lin Nan, cleaned up the things, and then moved the books in all at once: "Put the things in first, and then I will ask the carpenter in the village to make some bookshelves for you, and then you slowly put the books on the shelves." Let it out, if you have any other needs, you can tell me, and I will try my best to meet it."

Qiao Le's eyes fell on Jiang Yan's body, seeing her busy in and out, leading the overall situation, and greeting her intimately, she felt warm in her heart: "No more, it's good enough."

"In the past few days, you should rest first. You will eat all three meals with our family. If you don't mind, I will ask you to have dinner with each person. If it is not convenient for you, I will prepare a meal for you alone." I will send it to you every day."

"The place to teach can only be in the main room of my house. The place is big enough, so I can only take care of it for the time being. After I finish my work, I will find someone to build a house. Then there will be a bigger place for you. class."

There is a dirt road outside the door, and people come and go, there will be dust and ashes, Qiao Le nodded calmly: "Aunt Jiang can arrange it, and the meals don't have to be delivered every day. I will go to eat with the children when they are studying." That’s it, save yourself the hassle.”

"That's good, then you pack up first, and I'll call you for dinner later."

After moving things, Jiang Yan took the whole family and left. The bustling doorway was completely cleared away. Even the eldest and second children went to the field to play with Xiaodouzi, leaving only Qiao Le to pack her luggage.

His own luggage is just a bundle, which contains three old clothes and two pairs of cloth shoes, and the rest is some money and other sundries. He touches the thick and soft bed and the brand new sheets and quilts. His brows and eyes were stained with a long-lasting smile.

The layout of the bedroom is very simple. There is a bed, a brand-new cabinet, and a brand-new desk and chair. He opened the cabinet, and there was a new quilt and a brand-new quilt cover under the cabinet. Aunt Jiang probably prepared extra It was for him to change and wash, and the top of the cabinet was empty, leaving him to put his clothes and other personal items.

He simply put away his things, strolled around the room, and then saw a brand new wooden basin outside the door, which contained new towels, tooth sticks and hot soap recently sold in the town.

His heart was hot, the tip of his nose was sore, and his eyes were a little bit astringent. Since his parents passed away, it was the first time someone treated him so carefully. Thinking of Aunt Jiang preparing these things, he unconsciously choked up.

If the benefactor is like this, I will do my best to live up to the entrustment!
Jiang Yan sneezed, wondering who was scolding her, and now she was busy looking for Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng's family.

She can make the decision about her son's dropping out of school, but Xiao Linzi and Xiao Gouzi's dropping out of school still has to be discussed with them. After all, her behavior yesterday is considered to be acting on her behalf, using their rights as parents to decide the child's future.

But after running away, the two families all ran away, and the two families probably went to the field, so she had to go home first, cook more meals with her two daughters-in-law, and explain it carefully when she called them to dinner at night.

Since opening the stewed meat shop, almost every meal in the family has stewed meat. Thinking that there are many people eating today, Jiang Yan bought another chicken stew in the village, and Wang Jinhua asked someone to buy tofu in the town. Yan immediately stopped her from making cabbage tofu stew, and planned to cook mapo tofu herself.
