Jade Space of Rebirth

Chapter 37
So I liked this simple person a little more in my heart.

After another half an hour, there was another sound from the next door. Thinking that Lan'er must have woken up, Tang Zhi kicked her legs and put on the padded shoes Cao sewed herself, jumped on the ground a few times and walked out of the room.

"Miss got up so early? Lan'er will boil water and wash your face right now. Miss, go back to your room and wait!"

Tang Zhi got up a few times and avoided everyone except Cao Shi. Hearing that Lan Er was boiling water now, she went up to the kitchen with her.

Lan'er also entered the kitchen only to find the villain behind her. She was already rubbing her hands coldly. She didn't expect that the young lady didn't wear much, but her face was flushed. Just thinking about it, she felt a burst of tiredness. I couldn't help but yawned.

Tang Zhi stared at Lan'er's slightly sleepy appearance, and looked at the sky. It was only five or six o'clock in the morning, and the 'heating system' of their home was not yet complete. One could imagine how many degrees below zero should be at this time. how cold.

Lan'er came back to her senses and saw the young lady staring at her in a daze, thinking she was waiting for her own water, she didn't care about her drowsiness, she rubbed her hands together and entered the stove, the fire was slapped, and the bottom of the pot burned up. It didn't take long to see white smoke rising from the bottom of the pot.

"Miss, let's sit behind the fire to warm up for a while!" Xiaolan added water to the pot while not forgetting to take care of Tang Zhi, letting her sit behind the fire to keep warm.

"Okay!" Tang Zhi nodded obediently, and sat honestly behind the stove. Seeing that Lan'er was already cleaning up the dishes in the empty space, and seeing that the flames in the stove were getting smaller, she looked around to find some dry wood and put it away. go in.

What Lan'er washed over there was a large pot of green vegetables, needless to say, it must have been deliberately left by Mrs. Cao in the morning, because it hasn't been placed in the woodshed for a long time, so it will still look crisp.

Since Lan'er saw the green vegetables last time, she was no longer shocked when she encountered such a green thing, except for a little bit of novelty, but she also kept her own duty, and almost shouldn't ask.

Just looking at this point alone, Tang Zhi liked Lan'er very much, which made her feel like getting along with Cao Shi, thinking that maybe it would be good to have another confidant.

"Miss, you can't touch those things, it's okay if they hurt you, let me have a look!"

On the other side, Lan'er, who had cleaned the dishes, seemed to remember the hot water she was still burning, but when she turned her head and saw Tang Zhi picked another piece of firewood and threw it into the fire, she stretched her head and bent down, as if The little body was buried in the fire, and Lan Ercai was so frightened that she didn't want to run up in a panic.

"Sister Lan'er, I'm really fine!" After letting Lan'er look left and right at her body, Tang Zhicai looked up helplessly at this worried woman, but it was true that her heart was warm.

"No, Miss, go back to the room. I'll bring the water to you when it's boiled. It's too dangerous here. If it really burns, Lan'er won't be able to pay for her two lives!"

Tang Zhi saw that Lan'er was really frightened, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to help, but now it seemed that it would be good not to distract her, so she left rather reluctantly, feeling even more sorry that she was really too young, to grow up quickly...

The weather was fine today. When the Tang family got up, the sun was already high, and the orange light shone on the yard, shining on the children who were reading aloud, creating a harmonious atmosphere. Suspected to be 'sleeping' figure on the table!

"Zhi'er, you can't do this when you get to Doctor Wang's place later. I'll let Lan'er accompany you after dinner. If you don't obey, mother will be angry!" His youngest son is always so serious in his studies, but on the contrary, his most sensible daughter is so lazy. She shook her head and only hoped that she could learn something from Dr. Wang in the future.

"Got it, mother!" Tang Zhi reluctantly got up from the table. The cold table didn't affect her much. She looked up at her brothers and sisters who were still reading with their hands on the table, shook her head for a while, then turned her head to look Xiang Niangqin, "Mother, let's study in the room from now on. It's too cold, and my brothers and sisters' hands are red from the cold!" Li Shi heard what her daughter said, and when she looked over, she found that it seemed to be the case. She felt a little distressed. She had been hearing from Aunt Wang that the masters in the school generally demanded such things from students, so she thought it was good for study, but she forgot that her children were still very delicate, and she called her up early every day. He didn't complain, and even if his hands were red from the cold, he didn't make a sound. If it wasn't for the youngest daughter, she might not have noticed.

In addition to being distressed, Mrs. Li felt a little annoyed about herself. For the time being, she forgot to tell Zhier what she was going to study later, and now let the children enter the house. The stove that Mrs. Cao bought a few days ago in the house has not been used yet , Mrs. Li has always been worried that it would cost too much, but now she can't take care of it, and went to light the stove by herself.

"Ma'am, let me do these things!"

Mrs. Li was lifting the table and placed it in the center of the room, but she took the table with both hands. Looking at the empty hands, Mrs. Li realized it and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her.

Xiaotao was wearing a light-colored jacket, and her whole body was wrapped up due to the injury. Li Shi was taken aback by the appearance of a face covered in gauze, but then she remembered that she was a relative of Sister Cao's family. , Only then did he calm down, and then rushed to do these things again.

Tang Qi and the others were still standing in the yard. Mrs. Li said to let them in after the house was warmed up. Now let them bask in the sun outside. The children are not lazy and read books while walking, but Tang Zhi is a little mischievous and freezes himself He put his hand under Tang Zhi's jacket from time to time, and giggled when he heard his sister gasp one after another.

There was no one in the main room. Seeing that she couldn't snatch Mrs. Li, Xiaotao felt helpless. Of course, seeing her injured hand was more annoyed. Thinking of Mrs. Cao's words this morning, she hesitated for a moment, walked up to Mrs. Li and suddenly knelt down, " lady!"

"Ah, what are you doing!" Seeing Xiaotao knelt down to him for no reason, Mrs. Li panicked.

Xiao Tao shook her head, her face covered by the gauze was dissatisfied and firm, although the ground was cold, it couldn't stop her from moving, seeing that Mrs. Li seemed to come to help her, she quickly waved her hands, "Ma'am, let Xiao Tao finish her sentence!"

No matter how smart Li was, she could still feel Xiaotao's emotions, so she withdrew her outstretched hand and stood there awkwardly.

Seeing that Mrs. Li stopped blocking her, Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her head and said in a desolate tone, "Since I woke up, I have been rescued by my wife's family. In fact, Xiaotao is not a relative of Mama Cao, Mama Cao is worried about it." The wives came up with this excuse because they were afraid of me being injured, Xiaotao didn't expect to escape the plague and suffer such a catastrophe, let alone meet the wife's family, Xiaotao has nothing in return, so I want to ask my wife to take me in!"

"But...but this family doesn't belong to me. The person you want, Xiaotao, should be Sister Cao!" This is the first time Li Shi has heard of Xiaotao's life experience, and only after hearing her say that she escaped the plague did she realize that she is the same as her. A person in distress, but when she heard that she wanted to take her in, she couldn't laugh or cry.

She herself is dragging her family to live with Sister Cao, how can she accept another one for nothing, how embarrassed is this?
But Xiaotao shook her head, "Mama Cao has already agreed, she said that Madam you are the master of this family, although Xiaotao has signed the deed of sale, but Madam must agree, otherwise Xiaotao will have to go out and sleep on the street!" The purpose of doing this is nothing more than to make Mrs. Li feel the importance of herself in this family. It is because she understands Mrs. Li's temperament so well that Mrs. Cao feels that if this house is always under her name, it will probably make Mrs. Li feel It's getting more and more humble, it's better to start cultivating now, at least let her live comfortably first, and tell her everything when there is a chance.

Li Shi was a little surprised to hear that it was Cao Shi who said that, and at the same time her eyes were a little warm. There were thousands of emotions in her heart, but she also knew that now was not the time to talk, after all, there was still an injured person kneeling in front of her, so she He stepped forward to pull him up, but this time his tone was undeniably firm, "Since you said Sister Cao agreed, then I also agreed. Remember to take care of your body in the future, and don't just kneel down!"

Xiaotao nodded with a smile when she heard that, she would naturally not invite Mrs. Li to say that there is no need to be polite, because Mrs. Cao also specifically explained this point: Madam is kind, but it does not mean that the Tang family is lacking in etiquette. There should be no less etiquette, and there will be no less things that should be given. As long as you do your best, we will definitely not treat you badly in our eyes.

Xiaotao has no idea about this point, ever since she knew that her life was saved by Xiaoxiantong, no, Miss, Xiaotao almost regarded herself as the Tang family, just like Cao's, it had nothing to do with repaying her life-saving grace, it was just It's just the kindness to the Tang family and their attitude towards him.

Although Tang Zhiren was standing in the yard, she was clever and did not miss the conversation in the room. Hearing Xiaotao's confession, she was very satisfied with this newly bought girl. It's not impossible to heal all the wounds.

The stove in the main room has already been fired, Xiaotao came out instead of Mrs. Li and invited Tang Qi and the others to come in. Seeing the woman who was a guest before and suddenly called herself a servant, the children of the Tang family were full of curiosity, but they didn't ask any questions. , entered the house obediently.

Four dishes and one soup were made for breakfast, and the meals were placed in the main room. Tang Qi and the others put down their books and went straight to the hot breakfast. Li Shi looked at him anxiously and said something angrily, why did he come here for so long Still as hungry as before.

Xiaolan put the food on the table with a smile, and said comfortingly, "Ma'am, don't blame the young masters and ladies, it's time for the young masters and ladies to grow their bodies, eat more to gain weight!"

What Xiaolan said was indeed the truth. The children of the Tang family were almost hungry and full with the adults. In addition to the escape last month, it took many days to grow a little meat, and they stood up. Compared with others, she was still so thin and weak, but it was Tang Zhi who surprised everyone. Although she didn't eat as much as her brothers and sisters every time, she was the plump one. Her little face was almost tender, and she looked so cute!
"Mother, I'm leaving, I'll let Xiaotao accompany me, Xiaolan stay at home and help you!"

After eating, I greeted Mrs. Li, and Tang Zhi dragged Xiaotao away. Tang Zhi knew that Xiaotao was not in good health and could not do heavy work. It would take a long time for Xiaolan to follow her, so she couldn't let her mother busy.

Mrs. Li didn't think too much when she heard the words, thinking that the child liked Xiao Tao better, so she let her go, while hanging the small cloth bag she prepared last night around Tang Zhi's neck, "Here are some snacks that mother prepared for you yesterday , go to Doctor Wang's place, if you are hungry, eat some, don't be hungry!"

Tang Zhi touched the cloth pocket in her hand, which seemed to carry her mother's deep love, she couldn't help squinting her eyes happily, and suddenly left aside Lan'er, who was busy, and took her mother's hand and said, "Mother Darling, let Sister Lan'er wake up a quarter of an hour later than us!"

Every time Li Shi wakes up, she almost sees Lan Er getting up. To be honest, she really doesn’t know when Lan Er got up. She must feel sorry for Lan Er when she heard her daughter say that, and she herself is not like that. A harsh servant, he nodded and said directly to Lan'er who was still busy, "Have you heard, Lan'er? You don't have to get up so early in the future. You are still a girl after all. Sleep more when it's cold. We There is nothing to wait for!"

Lan'er was cleaning the table and was taken aback when she heard the words. She naturally heard that it was Tang Zhi's suggestion, so she subconsciously glanced at the young lady. For some reason, she remembered the incident when the young lady looked at her in a daze when she yawned in the morning. Could it be that the young lady was at that time? Just feel sorry for yourself?
