Chapter 259
On the Double Ninth Festival in September, village elders such as Gongsun Jing and Gao Huai went to Guzhu.

I don’t know if it’s because the hot springs at Lone Bamboo Village are soothing, or because the food is delicious, or because Zhao Xi’s nightly story gathering at the village is so exciting.

These village elders played happily in Guzhu for a long time, and they stayed there for more than ten days without returning.

When Gongsun Yan wanted to charge them, they finally slowly set foot on the return journey with the gift of white porcelain, books, and two chickens each.

At this time, the weather in northwest Liaoning has turned significantly colder.

When I woke up in the morning, the entire Lingzhi City was covered in a layer of snow particles.

When Gongsun Yan pulled himself out of the quilt, it was still dark outside.

She yawned and sat cross-legged on the warm hot bed to rub her face.

He ordered the branch officials to slack off and only started to be on duty in the morning.

Gongsun Yan announced new regulations ten days ago. In addition to the monthly salary, he also added an additional overtime allowance and issued two additional seasonal robes according to the season.

And the charcoal fire subsidy in winter has been increased.

Of course, after giving him a small sweet date, Gongsun Yan secretly advanced the duty time to Mao hour.

Officials in the prefecture's palace began to get up earlier than the chickens.

You must abide by the time you set, even if you are kneeling.

She quickly got up and went to wash up.

She has many little secrets, and she often reads one or two serious or not-so-serious books at night with a flashlight.

Occasionally there are snacks that I forget to collect.

Therefore, she regarded the bedroom as a private area, did not like others coming in, and never asked a maid to stay on duty at night.

There were two hot water bottles in the room. After washing my face and brushing my teeth, there was a knock on the door from Alan: "Madam!"

"Get up!" Gongsun Yan responded.

Almost at the same time, a cockcrow woke up the residents of an alley.

A thin layer of fog filled the alley.

The bluestone paved in the early years was exposed to the sun and rain, and was broken into several pieces by people and horses, and the gaps were filled with black mud.

A small clump of grass and trees grew tenaciously along the gaps between the stone slabs, and some wilted leaves were covered with dewdrops.

Suddenly a big foot stepped on, and a man rubbed his hands, holding half a hot wheat cake in his arms, on his way to work.

The blades of grass were trampled to the ground.

Before he could stretch himself again, another basin of water poured out from behind a door, washing the blades of grass into pieces.

"Oops, I'm sorry, Brother Tao, did the water splash on you?" A young woman with a round face and plump figure stood by the door holding a pottery basin in her hand, apologizing to the man named Tao.

This woman had a rare plump and voluptuous figure, and some tight brown clothes stretched her breasts tightly.

The man surnamed Tao's eyes lit up, he slowed down a little, and said with a smile: "Nothing, nothing."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced viciously at the woman.

The woman noticed it, but she didn't look shy. Instead, she leaned against the door and smiled.

"Brother Tao, you also know that the bad men in my family die early if they don't live up to expectations. My mother-in-law is sick and we have three little debt collectors at home."

Seeing the man frowning, the woman sped up her speech and said, "Last month I was made a fuss by Yuan Thief, and I couldn't go to the place where I work."

"No, I heard that the city is recruiting workers everywhere, so I wanted to give it a try. My mother-in-law is sick, and there is really no one to take care of the children at home. Do you think I can ask Sister Tao for help like before?"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a woman: "Madam of the Xin family, it's not that I won't help, but I also have work to do now, and I really don't have time to take care of her." Seeing the woman who spoke later, the man surnamed Tao immediately left Xin. The wife withdrew her eyes.

As if the mouse had seen the cat, it hurried away holding the wheat cake in its arms.

Rolling her eyes at her man's hurried back, Tao's sister-in-law looked at Madam Xin with a bad face: "Ms. Xin, look."

She opened the door, revealing a pile of faded rags inside.

"These are odd jobs announced by the government. We women can also earn some extra money to support our family in our spare time. We don't have time to help you take care of your children anymore."

Mrs. Xin's pretty face showed a hint of flattery: "Sister-in-law Tao, I will continue to give you money."

Sister-in-law Tao shook her head: "The little you gave me is not as much as the insoles I put on my shoes. I really don't have time. Let me see, you should go get some rags and take them home, so that you can take care of your mother-in-law and your children at the same time."

There was a bitterness on Mrs. Xin's face: "Yes, this insole paste can help subsidize the family, but my family has several mouths. Just relying on insole paste is not enough for my mother-in-law's medicine. I am afraid that the children will all starve to death, but they still have to have it." A decent life."

When talking about serious life, Mrs. Xin suddenly saw a hint of contempt on Sister-in-law Tao's face, and couldn't help but pause.

"Real life?"

Madam Xin couldn't speak any more, her face was slightly red, which made her face even more pretty.

Sister-in-law Tao couldn't bear to see her like this, so she snorted coldly: "I don't have time anyway, you should think of a solution by yourself, and don't go looking for my man again!"

After saying that, the door panel closed with a bang.

Mrs. Xin licked her lips a few times, then spat lightly at Tao's door.

As soon as she turned around, she saw a child hiding half of his face behind the door, looking at her timidly, dragging the elder to clear his nose.

An unknown anger arose in her heart, and Mrs. Xin deliberately cursed loudly: "What are you looking at? If it weren't for debt collectors like you, I don't know how comfortable my life would be."

As he spoke, he dragged the child out from behind the door. While cursing, he reached out and unscrewed the two tubes of snot the child was dragging, and threw them onto the street outside.

Wiping her fingers on the wall, Mrs. Xin dragged the child into the house and slammed the door.

An old woman with a withered face was lying on the bed inside the door: "Yue Niang, don't hit the child, don't hit."

A little girl about six years old put down the half-pasted insole in her hand and ran over to hug Mrs. Xin's hand: "Mom, don't be angry. I'll work well."

With this commotion, a baby in a wooden cradle in the corner of the room began to cry loudly.

For a moment, the old man's cough, the baby's cry, and the child's pleading were intertwined in the room.

Madam Xin's eyes were dull, and she showed an expression of despair and collapse for a moment.

She unconsciously took a small step back, wanting to turn around and run away from this place with a scream.

After a while, she took a deep breath and straightened up: "Stop arguing!"

She waved, pushing the girl holding her arm away.

"Shut up!" The woman's sharp voice suppressed everything.

There was silence in the room, and Mrs. Xin breathed heavily for several times, as if a huge burden had been placed on her body.

After a moment, shaking her hands, she walked to the cradle and wrapped the several-month-old baby inside with a dirty gray rag on her chest.

He patted the crying child and said to the old man lying on the bed: "Mom, I'm going out to buy some food. You can watch Daya and Erlang at home."

The old woman lying on the bed coughed and half sat up, saying repeatedly: "Okay, okay."
