Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 58 Change
Inside the car, which is as warm as spring, is the sound of the swaying and creaking car.

If it weren't for the inappropriate atmosphere in the carriage, it would be quite suitable for sleepy people who have not had a good rest.

For example, Li Diaozhu.

After the woman in the car looked at her no less than ten times, she finally couldn't help but yawned and looked at her and asked, "When will Sister Huiniang want to look at me like this? If there is anything wrong with me, Please forgive me. After all, I am married now, and I have stayed in the country for so long, so there will inevitably be some changes and things like that."

Hui Niang shook her head, and looked her over again, still uncertain.

The eyebrows are still the same, but compared to the previous sharpness and contempt when looking at people.The person in front of him showed a soft and bright light, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

If it wasn't for her being sure that she was Li Kongzhu and knowing herself, she would have thought they were twins.After all, the gap between the front and the back is too great, and there is a huge contrast between gestures and gestures, how can people not doubt it?

Li Diaozhu didn't refuse her scrutiny either.In Yuanshen's memory, the person in front of her was from her hometown, and compared to the mansion she entered the year before, he was two years older than Yuanshen.

The first two were on good terms when they were both third-class maidservants, but their relationship gradually improved with the original body.The two gradually distanced themselves.

At that time, the original body, who had already been promoted to second class, looked down on this sister who entered the mansion a year before her.Just because she was content with her duty and didn't want to be the person who climbed up, she thought that the two of them were not on the same path.So, so that later, the two had no contact with each other.

And although Hui Niang was content with her job, she later got the favor of the old lady in the mansion through luck.In the end, he was transferred to the old lady's courtyard as a second-class waiter for tea.

Now looking at the big and small bags she put on the car, Li Kongzhu's eyes flickered, "Sister Hui Niang is going home on vacation now, or..."

"I was released from the mansion after ten years of legal status." Hui Niang saw that she was no longer what she used to be, and after listening to her question, she told her the truth.

"Congratulations!" Li Kongzhu smiled sincerely.A person who can not be blinded by wealth and honor, but also wants to return to the body after the contract expires, should be a person worthy of respect.

Hui Niang looked at her in surprise, she actually said congratulations?You know, when she was in the mansion before, what she disliked the most was herself who was always waiting for the expiration of her term.

Calmly poured hot tea for several people.Hui Niang laughed self-deprecatingly, "It's rare that you and I can sit peacefully together. It's also hard for you to say congratulations. Although I don't know how sincere it is, I still take it as the truth." wait!"

"Naturally, I am very sincere!" Li Kongzhu reached out to take the teacup, blew on it lightly, and pursed his lips to drink lightly.Seeing that she was surprised again, he smiled and said: "Don't mention the past, the person standing in front of you now is already another person who has been reborn from Nirvana. The former Li Diaozhu, who didn't know right from wrong, and only wanted to be rich, has long since disappeared. Saved!"

Hui Niang was taken aback by what she said.Carefully debating her expression, trying to see if what she said was true or not.

Seeing that she was always looking at him calmly, he let her look at her.I couldn't help but sighed, "Although I don't know what kind of pain and suffering you have gone through, but since you have changed your past, let's continue!"

"Hmm!"

Li Kongzhu put down the teacup, squinted and smiled to answer her.

Hui Niang also smiled back at her, "By the way, let's not talk about the future and the past. Listening to your voice just now, you have married and become a married woman. Which handsome young man are you talking about!"

"Zhaojiacun, Zhao Junyi and Zhao Sanlang!" She laughed softly, "Miss Hui is wrong about one thing. My husband is not a handsome young man. On the contrary, he is over twenty years old, lame and ugly. !"

Lame and ugly?Hui Niang looked up at her in astonishment.

But she smiled gently and said: "It is said that ugly people must be gentle. But my husband is not gentle, on the contrary, he is a little bit cold."

After a pause, she raised the corner of her mouth again and said, "Although it's extremely cold, it's also cute!"

After finishing speaking, she covered her mouth and smiled lightly.

Mai Ya'er, who had been silently watching the conversation between the two, saw that after holding back for so long, he finally had a place to speak.

Just facing E Huiniang who was still in shock, she said: "Although my third brother Zhao is a little lame, he has ruined his face a little. But he is really a loving wife. A few days ago, my family was trapped in a deep mountain and I couldn't get out. I ran to my sister-in-law for help, but I was surrounded by wolves. If Brother Zhao didn’t protect me with all my might, I would have been a pile of bones in the morning.”

"God!" Hui Niang was so shocked that she quickly covered her mouth, seeing that she was completely shocked and speechless.

After a while, she heard her say: "What kind of life are you living!"

Li Kongzhu picked up a cup of tea with her and poured himself a cup of tea, "It's a comfortable day." It can't be compared with wealth, but it is a comfortable day.

"If you're free, sister Huiniang, why don't you come to Zhaojia Village where I live!"

"……it is good"

After the donkey cart drove into Huancheng Town.

Hui Niang broke up with them.

Li Kongzhu asked Zhao Mengzi, who was driving behind, to stop the car at the gate of the city, it was almost late.When it gets dark at Shenshi, the city gate will be closed.

Taking advantage of his skills, Li Kongzhu took Maiyaer to the pharmacy to buy the ginseng he needed, and then went to the grocery store to weigh the sugar, and then bought meat, bones and eggs.

When we returned to the gate of the city, it was already the end of time.

Zhao Mengzi saw that the sky was getting dark, so he hurriedly set up his car and went up the road.

When we got back to the village, it was already dark.

Most of the farmers in this era began to sleep on the kang as soon as it got dark.Therefore, in the village at this moment, except for the light printed by the snow light, it is all silent and dark.When Li Kongzhu and the others entered the village, it seemed particularly loud.

Zhao Mengzi drove the car and didn't go back to his home first, but sent Li Diaozhu to the door of the house first, and the couple thought about waiting for her to enter the door before going home.

Li Kongzhu pulls Mai Ya'er and asks her not to leave for the time being, saying that he wants to share the money.

He didn't want Mai Ya'er but waved his hand indifferently, "I can't run away again. Besides, I'm still coming here. It's late at night, so why bother!"

Li Kongzhu was also reasonable when he heard that, and said with a smile, "It's okay! I'll let you have a good time later!"

Mai Ya'er laughed when she heard it, and waved her hand to tell her to call the door quickly.They left after seeing her go in.

Li Kongzhu smiled and nodded, when he walked to the fence and was about to call for someone, he saw a tall figure standing a few steps away from the fence.

Li Kongzhu raised the corners of his lips inadvertently, and called out to him, "Master, I'm back!"

The man listened to her call, and the standing body began to walk over slowly.When he got close, Li Kongzhu raised his eyes, and inadvertently met his pair of very beautiful phoenix eyes.

I don't know if it's because of the snow light at night, but she has never noticed that his eyes can be so bright.The only light that flickered in the dark night caused her heart to beat a little.

Clearing her throat, she clapped her hands pretending to be cold and said, "Master, hurry up, I'm about to freeze!"

The man who was already in front seemed to pause after hearing her words.With one hand, the thick wooden fence was pulled away.

Mai Ya'er was holding the quilt in the back, and when he saw him coming out, she quickly stuffed the quilt into the man's arms, "Brother Zhao, let my sister-in-law go in to warm up and drink something warm, we are so cold along the way. Those whose upper eyelids stick to the lower eyelids are almost blinded and cannot see the truth."

The man ignored her, and just silently stared at the crystal clearness in the eyes of the woman in front of him covered with snow.

Li Diaozhu blushed a little at the sight, thankful that he had to wrap up tightly, otherwise he would have a red face, it would be embarrassing.

Blinking her heavy eyelashes, she looked up at him and said, "Master, are you planning to make this a door god?"

For a moment, Li Kongzhu felt the man's changed eyes.In the next second, he turned around, and walked towards the main house regardless of her hugging the quilt.

Li Kongzhu twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, turned around and waved to Mai Yaer and his wife to let them leave quickly.

Unexpectedly, after Mai Ya'er got on the bullock cart again, she said jokingly, "You are only so stupid, sister-in-law. Didn't you see the way my third brother looked at you? You feel distressed!"

"Pooh!" Li Kongzhu poohed lightly at her.For some reason, I felt my face was burning up.

He quickly shook his head, shouted at them and told them to leave quickly.But she entered the courtyard, closed the door, hesitated for a moment, and walked towards the main house.

As soon as he entered the room, the warm atmosphere in the room rushed over his face. It was rare that Zhao Junyi found an oil lamp from nowhere and lit it.

Putting the Lanzi in his hand on the table, and untied the fur wrapped around his head, Li Diaozhu flicked the ice scum sticking to his eyelashes with his hands, and asked the man who was pouring hot water indifferently. , "Head of the house, Cui Jiuli? Did you fall asleep again?"

The hand that was picking up the bowl paused for a moment, then hummed casually.

Glancing at her, she sat at the table and drank the hot water poured out of the bowl.

Li Diaozhu, who was melting the icicles on his eyelashes, was taken aback for a moment, "Isn't it for me?"

The man looked at her indifferently.He didn't make a sound, but after getting up, for some reason, he poured out the bowl again.

Li Kongzhu's mouth twitched as he watched, seeing him lift the curtain to go out, he knew that he was going to the hut again to hold Cui Jiu's wrist.He hurriedly said: "Don't go today, I bought ginseng and came back, I will boil him with the medicine in a while, and after he wakes up, take the medicine directly!"

While talking, he turned over the basket on the table.

Zhao Junyi pursed his lips and looked at her, then glanced at the bowl of hot water on the table.Unmoved, his face turned cold, and he lifted the straw curtain regardless of her, opened the door and walked out.

When Li Kongzhu found Shen Xu and looked up at him, he found that he was gone.

He couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth and muttered, "What's wrong with you?"

After drinking the hot water, Li Diaozhu made himself a bowl of noodles. After warming up Cui Jiu's medicine, he cleaned his noodles quickly, crawled into bed early and sighed comfortably.

Muttered: "It's better to be at home! Now I can sleep well without insomnia!"

At that time, Zhao Junyi had already returned from the hut, and was sitting on the kang to adjust his breath.Hearing her words in the dark, his eyes slowly opened.When he looked at her, he saw that she was moaning with her eyes closed and the corners of her mouth upturned.

Can't help lowering his eyes again, rubbing his fingers inadvertently on his sleeves, habit... is really a scary thing!

The next morning, Mai Ya'er and Zhao Mengzi came over.

Zhao Mengzi came here with a basket on his back, this is the rhythm of going up the mountain again.

Li Kongzhu turned his head to look at the man who has been a little crazy since last night, and he doesn't know what his mood is like today.

If you're crazy and don't want to go...

"Let's go!" Before Li Kongzhu finished thinking, Zhao Junyi got up, said to Zhao Mengzi who hadn't put down his basket since entering the room, and walked out.

From beginning to end, he never said to look at Li Kongzhu, or to confess.

Li Kongzhu and Mai Yaer want to send them off.

In the end, when he was about to go out, Zhao Junyi was already standing at the door.

Li Kongzhu frowned, always felt that since this morning, he seemed to have returned to the indifference when he first came.

Although he used to love to be unreasonable, but anyway, he would give himself a look, and occasionally, when he was in a good mood, he would even tease her.

Even when he came back last night, although he was inexplicably awkward, he still poured water for himself unintentionally.

It's not like now, I haven't given her a look since the morning, and even after leaving now, I still turn my back to her.

Seeing that Zhao Mengzi was about to pull the door out of the hospital, Li Kongzhu still greeted him, "Be careful. And the head of the family, if you feel that you can't hold on, come back earlier! For lunch, I will make broth and ribs! "

The man froze for a second.In the next moment, there was a complicated flash in the phoenix's eyes, and after a while, there seemed to be a slight hum from her thin lips.

Because the sound was too low, Li Kongzhu didn't hear it, but when he wanted to listen carefully, he saw that he had gone away with Zhao Mengzi.

Even Mai Ya'er on the side felt something was wrong when she saw her frowning, "Sister-in-law...well, you..."

Li Kongzhu shook his head, "His face is like ice, even if I want to quarrel, I can't quarrel!" But I just feel very unhappy.

Li Kongzhu didn't delve into this displeasure, but called Mai Ya'er into the house, ready to share the money.

Two blue pieces of hawthorn strips, hawthorn rolls and fruit peels weigh more than 30 catties in total!

Among them, the delivery is deducted, and the hawthorn sticks cost [-] cash for ten catties.The other two are twenty catties and six hundred wen.

It sold for nearly one or two taels of silver, and 750 yuan of sugar price had to be removed, leaving only [-] yuan of interest.

In addition to buying ginseng and meat yesterday, Li Diaozhu's money is all spent.He handed the remaining [-] Wen Li Diaozhu to Mai Yaer, "This is what you deserve after the capital is removed!"

Mai Ya'er looked at the money and was a little reluctant to accept it.She followed some recipes, but the white sugar was the most precious, and she knew how much she threw away.In addition to the white sugar bought back yesterday, more than half of the money was lost. I am afraid that if the money was given to them, she would not earn a penny on her own!
Pick up the string of money and divide it in half.Mai Ya'er pushed it over and said: "Sister-in-law, don't push it with me. It's not profitable. In the past, you can just dip some candied haws. I'm afraid the hawthorn cakes are just sold for a return of capital and won't make much money!"

As she said that, she smiled, "My boss and I can earn so much money just by running errands. Calculated in one month, it's more than half a tael. Farmers, where can I find someone who can earn nearly a tael every month?" live?"

Li Kongzhu looked at the half string of money pushed back, feeling a little uncomfortable.While doing these things, because of lack of sugar in the middle, Ma Yaer took out his private house and posted it to her.Now, even half of the money, she only takes one-third of the money, so I feel a little guilty about her.But if you don't accept it, you really have no money in your hands.When I bought sugar yesterday, I bought a catty less, because the two-day trip to the county town and the rented ox cart also cost a lot of money.

In fact, after all, they don't have much profit at all.

Li Diaozhu took the money back without hypocrisy, "I planned to go to the high class, but unfortunately we have no way out, we can only rely on word of mouth and luck. It should be better next time! Just wait for the next time." , I will pay you back all the money!" If the woman who bought the vegetables would flatter her, it should bring some luck.

Mai Ya'er waved his hand, "I'm not in a hurry, I'll work slowly with you, sister-in-law, I believe that one day, I will be able to live a life of delicious food and spicy food!"

Li Kongzhu gave her a funny look, and left her here to help chop meat and bones and stew them.

Mai Ya'er didn't feel annoyed, but instead smiled and said that there was more meat to eat.

Cui Jiu, who was sleeping in the hut, woke up and coughed when she saw the two men sharpening their knives and stomping on their fleshy bones.

Seeing Li Diaozhu who was awake when he found time, he quickly let him drink the medicine with ginseng root.

After finishing the work, let him lie on the bed to fend for himself and watch the two of them cook...
