Poor children

Chapter 39

"Eat more slowly. Haven't we given you food every day? Why do you look like you've been hungry for days today? What are you in a hurry for?" Seeing that Tiedan'er came in a hurry today, Pao'er asked. I was in a hurry to eat so I couldn't help but ask him

Tiedan stuffed steamed buns into his mouth and said something indistinctly, but there was too much stuff in his mouth, and he couldn't hear clearly. Seeing that he was choking, Noble brought him a big bowl of cold water Come and drink
"Brother Tiedan'er, let me give you some water."

Tiedan'er hurriedly took it and poured the steamed buns into his stomach with water. "Did you add ingredients to the water?"

"It's really uncomfortable to see that you are choking. I have to buy something urgently before I come," Lai Bao replied.

"Then what did you originally want to add?"

"sugar"

Tiedan was also very speechless, "Don't worry about adding sugar, you can add it now, add some water, add more, don't be reluctant"

Laibao obediently took the bowl and ran to the kitchen.

"I think you seem to have something to do today. Why do you look so anxious? But what's the matter? Paoer asked him
"It's not a big deal. I saved a girl on the way home yesterday and I took her home."

"Since I saved her, why didn't I take her back to my own home, but brought her to yours? But did something malicious happen?"

"Why do I have any ill intentions? You have known me for such a long time. Brother, don't you know what kind of person I am? Except for the ill intentions towards food, I don't care about anything else. It's just that she said she didn't know that her family was here." Where, I wanted to report her to the official, but she was reluctant, and it was dark. I couldn’t just leave her, a girl, alone on the street. I had no other place to put her, so I had to take her to my home."

"She doesn't want to report to the official? But is there any reason why she can't report to the official?"

"No"

"Then you'd better be more careful. It's hard to tell who has ill intentions towards whom."

"There's nothing good to say about this. If she has any ill intentions towards me, I'll just obey her. It will save me a lot of trouble, right?" Tiedan'er swallowed the last bite of the bun and banged his chest. "Why is Laibao like this?" Slow down, I'm about to choke to death"

"Your house only has a kang bed and no quilt. How did you sleep last night?"

"She slept on the kang, and the quilts were all hers. Anyway, the weather is hot now, and the yard is better than the house, so I just settled in the yard. That girl is very delicate, and she thinks the kang is hard and dirty. , I thought the house was broken, and I made a fuss when bitten by mosquitoes. Now I’m hungry and I’m probably going to collapse again. “Tiedan’er has arrived.

"I'll bring you some food back in a while, help people to the end, save people back with good intentions, but it's not good to starve to death in your house, brother, please think about whether you have this ability when you save people in the future "The poor girl said that because she just saw Laibao carefully carrying a bowl of water, because it was too full, she was very careful, moving in small steps, and Tie Dan'er couldn't wait to rush forward. I took the bowl and drank it all. I suddenly felt that my mouth and tongue were extremely salty and I coughed violently.
"Laibao, what did you add to the water?"

"Sugar, you said you need to add more, but I added six tablespoons."

"Where is this sugar? You obviously added salt." The iron egg was spinning all over the floor.
Lai Bao grabbed the corner of his clothes with an aggrieved look on his face, "They are still young, and they are all white. How can they tell which is sugar and which is salt? I originally wanted to give Brother Tiedan'er a bowl of sugar water, but now I have to leave him alone." Complain, I don’t dare to be such a good person in the future.” Tiedan’er saw that she was like this and it was hard to say anything. He coaxed her and apologized many times before he finished. Here Laibao showed a smile, and over there Tiedan’er Only then did he dare to take the food given by the poor boy and say goodbye and rush home.

"You really can't tell the difference between sugar and salt?" the poor boy asked Laibao
"Uh! Yeah!" Noble replied vaguely
Pao'er poked Lai Bao's head with his finger, "You kid, if one day your brother Tiedan'er doesn't feel uncomfortable, you will have to feel uncomfortable one day."

Before the sun set in the afternoon, Tie Dan returned home. The courtyard door was ajar. Tie Dan opened the door and entered the courtyard. No reply either

The door of Tiedan'er's house was pushed down by Jin Shun last time, and now it's lying like that in the house with no one to care about it. Tiedan'er doesn't know how to repair it himself, and the house is in pieces and can't even withstand the wind and rain. , it was said that the house looked like it was haunted in the middle of the night. He left early in the morning and didn’t come back until after dark. Chunya was a rich lady, so she might have been scared to death in the house.

Tiedan'er opened the door curtain and saw Chunya lying on the Kang, motionless. He thought she had an accident and rushed to call her. Chunya opened her eyes and started crying when she saw him coming back. "You're back, why?" You've been gone for so long? I'm scared to be left here alone, hungry and thirsty."

"When you go out, turn left and there is a well not far away. Why don't you go get some water and drink it when you are thirsty?" Tiedan'er asked.
"Water, well? What is it? Is it a container for tea? Why haven't I heard of this kind of container before?" Chunya arrived
"Oh! Forget it, I'll give you this." Tiedan'er handed the steamed buns that the pauper had brought to her. "You eat first, I'll get you some water."

"Oh, then hit more. I haven't bathed for two days. My body is too dirty. I need to bathe today."

"Bathing? What is it?" Tiedan'er didn't know what she was talking about.

"Just take a shower. I'm too dirty. I want to take a shower," Chun Ya said.
"What kind of well water should I use for bathing? Go to the river next to the village. It's a good choice to take a dip in the river at night in summer." Tiedan'er said and went out.
"He, in the river?" Chunya didn't react for a moment, holding the steamed bun in a daze.
After a while, Tie Dan'er came back from fetching water, saw that she was holding a steamed bun and hadn't eaten yet, so he poured a glass of water for her, "Drink water"

"No tea? Is this cold water? Is this water drinkable?"

"Drink it, why can't I drink it? I grew up drinking this water. If you insist on tea, then I really don't have it. I can pick a few leaves for you outside and soak it for you. Do you want it?" arrive

Chunya took the water to drink, unexpectedly the well water was cool and sweet, delicious, she drank the big bowl of water and asked for another bowl, took a bite of the steamed bun after drinking the water, I just think that the steamed buns are sweet and soft, which is very suitable for her taste. She is also very hungry. She has lost her image as a daughter of the royal family. She ate the steamed buns and drank the well water. satisfy

"What kind of snack is this? I have never eaten such a delicious snack before" Chunya asked

"This is steamed buns"

"Steamed buns! The name of this snack is quite unique. I want to take a bath." Chunya arrived.
"Bath, bath," Tiedan'er muttered, "Then you come with me, I will take you to the river."

"Don't you have a bathtub at home? Go bathe in the river. I have never been there."

"We have to go to the river to bathe here. Do you want to go or not?"

Seeing that she was covered in mud and water, Chunya could only nod in agreement, and then asked Tie Dan'er for a change of clothes. Tie Dan'er only had one new suit of clothes, which the poor man had made for him a few days ago. Although it was made of coarse cloth, the stitching It was so good that he didn't want to wear it, but he had no choice now, so he had to take it out and give it to her first. It was almost dusk, and the two of them went to the river one after another.
