Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 18: The second brother is also having a hard time (seeking further reading and investment)

After coming out, he looked around and said to Widow Feng: "Auntie, we are all in the city now. I have to go see my brother and the others. Let's go there together!"

"I won't go there, you can go ahead."

Widow Feng shook her head and refused.

"This……"

Wang Qingsong also hesitated for a while. After all, these days are difficult, and there are very few people visiting relatives, and they basically don't move around anymore.

You have to entertain this person when he comes, right?

If it's my own home, forget it, but it's my brother's home, and there's a sister-in-law at home!
  It's not easy for him to take the initiative to speak.

But the other party is not in good health alone, and it is not safe to go back like this.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Auntie, let's go together, you don't have to be embarrassed."

He was going to come back without eating.

Widow Feng shook her head and still refused: "It's okay, you go ahead, I'll wait for you here, or I'll take the car back first. I'm very grateful to you for this today. When I have money when I get back, I'll give it to you."

Wang Qingsong thought for a while and then said: "It's really okay. The worst thing we can do is not eat there. Is that okay? Take a look and come back."

But no matter what she said, the other party didn't agree.

Seeing this scene, Wang Qingsong thought about it and stopped trying to persuade him.

He asked her: "Okay, Auntie, we just have to take a bus from Fuchengmen. I'll put you on the bus and you get off and walk slowly, okay?"

"Okay, I'll take my time on that part of the road, just walk slowly. It won't be in the way."

Widow Feng smiled nonchalantly.

When Wang Qingsong saw this, he didn't go any further because he had just seen that the time was almost ten o'clock.

The journey was not far, and each person paid three cents to get on the bus to the bus station.

Widow Feng felt distressed for a while: "It's just two miles, but it costs three cents, otherwise I can come over here. An egg only costs five cents!"

There are people selling eggs at consignment points, and they basically sell them individually.

However, there are size requirements.

There is a board on the counter with a round hole on it, and if you pass it, you can't pay 5 cents.

Ten to twelve eggs per pound cost 6 cents per pound, which is more than 2 cents cheaper than the unified purchasing and marketing in the city.

Wang Qingsong smiled and didn't explain much.

He is also distressed.

But there is nothing that the two sick people can do, and it would not be good if they go too late.

Today is Sunday, and it is also the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. It is a small year, so the eldest brother and the second brother should not be at work.

If you want to run to both places, you still have to hurry up.

When they arrived at Fuchengmen, they gave the things to Widow Feng and put her on the bus back. They paid 2 cents and then they got on the bus to the second brother's house.

I used to walk by myself.

I can only take a car today.

The journey was a little further and cost another six cents.

At this point, he only had one dollar and forty-seven cents left in his bag.

I have enough money to go back anyway.

The second brother is over there in Nanluogu Lane.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped at the bus stop outside Nanluogu Lane.

The two got out of the car.

Xiaomai looked at the tall Di'anmen and asked curiously: "Brother, does the second brother live here?"

"Well, we'll live here. Come, I'll carry you."

After Wang Qingsong finished speaking, he put the little guy on his back and walked towards the big alley.

He was still holding his cloth bag carefully in his hand.

This is a valuable thing.

You still have to rely on him to exchange money!
  In the alleyway between the big alley and the small alley, I stopped at the entrance of a compound.

"Okay, here we are, let's go in."

The courtyard houses in Kyoto face north and south, with the main door opening in the southeast corner.

According to the depth of the gate, it is divided into Guangliang Gate, Jinzhu Gate, Manzi Gate, Ruyi Gate and Small Gate Tower.

The deeper the gate, the higher the level.

Of course, there is also the door that opens in the middle, which is at the level of a prince's palace or a princess's palace. During the Qing Dynasty, ordinary people could not open the door in the middle, otherwise it would be Yu Yue who would be beheaded. In front of you is a bright door.

There was a drum stone at the door, and he couldn't understand what was carved on it.

After entering the gate, there is a screen wall in front of it.

After turning the corner, there is a back-seat house where dignitaries used to live for their servants.

Next to it is the hanging flower door.

In ancient times, a young lady never left the door without taking two steps, and she was talking about this hanging flower door.

After passing the hanging flower gate, you will find the main courtyard.

Today is the New Year, and everyone is taking out and washing quilts, washing sheets, changing clothes, and cleaning the dust at home to welcome the new year.

There are a lot of young girls and young wives in the courtyard, which is very lively.

"Who are you looking for?"

As soon as I came in, I was stopped by an aunt.

Wang Qingsong only came here a few times, and he didn't talk to the people in the yard, so some of them looked familiar, but everyone could be named by name.

But he still smiled and said: "I'm looking for Wang Qinghe, I'm his younger brother."

"Oh, I'm looking for Qinghe! I'm at home! Do you want me to call you?"

The other party pointed to the location of the west wing and said.

Wang Qingsong smiled: "No, I've been here before, we know you. Auntie, you're busy, I'll go over first!"

"Hey, let's go."

After hearing this, Wang Qingsong walked towards the west wing.

As soon as he reached the door, he stopped.

Because there's a quarrel inside.

"Wang Qinghe, you have gone too far. Do you want to live this day again?"

"What's wrong with me giving something to my brother? Apart from the old clothes I gave last year, what else did I give? It's just five yuan a month! As for what? It's the Chinese New Year soon, I Are you willing to give him something?"

"Do I care? Wang Qinghe, did you think about me when you said this? You gave them five yuan every month, and did I say no? I'm still pregnant! I don't have enough food at home. It’s not much. Dad won’t give it to me if he doesn’t give it, and they don’t care about it, but what do you want me to do? What about the child? The child is not yours, right? Do you want me to go home every day to get things back? ?Where is your face?"

As soon as this was said, there was silence.

"Speak, are you mute?"

"Don't say anything, right? I'll go home and you can go there by yourself."

After saying that, he angrily went to the room to get something.

"Brother~~"

When Xiaomai heard this voice, he pulled Wang Qingsong's sleeve, asking what to do?
  Wang Qingsong also hesitated.

After thinking about it, I might as well not go in.

Separating the second brother's family was not what he wanted to see.

It seems that life at the second brother's family is not easy either.

I thought too well.

While he was thinking, he heard a crash, the bamboo curtain at the door was opened, and a young girl came out.

With a big belly.

"Second sister-in-law! (Sister-in-law)"

Seeing the other party, Wang Qingsong smiled and shouted, and Xiaomai also shouted.

The other party was his second sister-in-law, Wang Huiru.

He was wearing a woolen coat, which was considered high-end in this era, and he even had fur around his neck!
  The lower body is a pair of leather pants.

People in the north have the habit of wearing leather pants, but what Wang Huiru wears is more refined, and it looks like they are from a department store.

An oval face, very delicate.

When Wang Huiru saw the two of them, she put away her expression and said with a smile: "Qingsong, when did you come? You didn't even shout. Xiaomai, right? Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

After saying that, he smiled and drew the curtain.

As Wang Qingsong walked away, he said with an honest smile: "We just arrived. Isn't it that the second sister-in-law opened the door when we were about to go in?"

Hearing this, Wang Huiru breathed a sigh of relief.

I just went inside to get my clothes, so I probably didn’t hear it.
