Chapter 141 Chang'an Town
She sat between her two brothers, holding a small wooden bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other.
The bowl contains fragrant white rice. Now we have rice for dinner every day at home, plus two dishes, one vegetarian and one meat.
The vegetarian dishes are either grown in the private plot in the backyard, or are wild vegetables sent by Ma Chunxia’s family next door.
The meat dishes were eggs or meat brought back from town.
Jiang Fubao's little mouth was full of oil from eating so much.
It's been a while since I came here.
I ate countless meals of porridge.
Finally I can eat rice every day.
Thinking about the bowl of pure brown rice porridge he had eaten, Jiang Fubao almost cried.
"Don't rush out for a walk after dinner. Wash your clothes and they will dry overnight so you can wear them tomorrow. As for the clothes left at home, wear old ones so they don't get worn out. After all, clothes are very expensive. Pingmei, wash Tongmu's clothes and put them in his room. When he comes back next time, let him take them away."
After dinner.
Zhang Jinlan stopped her family members who were about to go out for a walk.
He raised his voice and gave the order.
The house became busy again.
Jiang Fubao was also full. She put down her bowl and spoon and walked into the yard.
Dad and uncle were tidying up the tables and chairs in the main room, while my aunt and sister-in-law were washing clothes in the yard.
My mother and my second aunt washed the dishes and pots.
Second uncle and eldest brother went to the backyard to chop firewood.
Firewood had to be brought to the shops in the town every day.
After all, the boilers never stop.
The ones who have the most free time are the children.
Several of my brothers had disappeared long ago.
Only Jiang Fubao was sitting alone in a chair, watching the sunset and enjoying the evening breeze.
Laid back and at ease.
"Come, the melon is cut, come and eat it. Hey, where are these little brats? Sister-in-law, go outside and shout to them to come back and eat the melon."
After a while, Zhang Yanzi came out of the kitchen carrying the cut melon.
But there was no sign of children at home.
Only my daughter was sitting obediently on the chair.
"Okay, I'll go and shout."
Sun Pingmei dried her hands, walked quickly to the door, and shouted, "Children, come back and eat melons--"
The sound was so loud that Jiang Fubao was frightened and shook all over.
The round belly that had just been full was bouncing again and again.
Oh my god, my second aunt-in-law has such a loud voice.
She nearly peed her pants.
Hearing that there were melons to eat, her brothers came back from all directions in a hurry.
Each person was given a piece of melon, which they grabbed in their hands, but they ran out without even having time to eat it.
"These kids are really playful."
Zhang Yanzi shook her head helplessly.
Sun Pingmei also picked up a piece of melon and ate it without even raising her head.
Although we had already eaten lunch, the melon was cut small so that everyone in the family could have a piece.
As for the newly washed clothes, they were already hung in the yard, fluttering in the wind.
The sky gradually darkened.
at the same time.
In the Sanshan School in the town.
The students also washed up and went back to their rooms to prepare for bed.
Oil lamps and candles were expensive and the school could not afford them, so the students brought their own from home.
Kong Mingxue, who was always wealthy, lit six candles in his bedroom.
The candlelight is weak, but it can't withstand the large amount.
The six senses are enough to illuminate the bedroom brightly.
He lit so many candles not to practice calligraphy, but to lie on the bed reading a storybook and laughing.
It's extremely extravagant.
Meng Bujiu, who lived in the same room, sat on a chair and ate cakes.
The food prepared in the school is really terrible.
He missed the food sold in Jiang's snack shop very much. The weather was hot, and if he could have a cup of sweet and cold mung bean soup and drink it in one gulp, wouldn't it be so refreshing?
Then have two grilled sausages and a serving of spicy potatoes.
Oops.
When he thought of this, Meng Bujiu's saliva was about to flow.
Unfortunately, there are only very sweet and dry pastries here.
Jiang Tongmu, who was standing by, had no idea what he was thinking.
With the help of the candlelight from Kong Mingxue, he was practicing calligraphy with a brush.
Because I sold the sausages to Meng Bujiu before.
The relationship between the three of them is much better than before, and they can still chat with each other occasionally.
Of course, it all revolves around food.
Jiang Tongmu actually had no feelings for either of them.
The people who bullied him at the beginning were mainly Ding Huanfu and Deng Siyuan.
Plus the four of them often get together.
So everyone thought that the four of them were bullying him together.
Including himself.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Kong Mingxue and Meng Bujiu were basically just bystanders.
Never intervened.
Jiang Tongmu turned his head, glanced at the two of them, and said nothing.
Kong Mingxue did not react at all to his behavior of taking advantage of others. He only had eyes for the storybook and did not care about anyone else.
The three of them each did their own thing.
Until all the candles were extinguished and the moon hid in the clouds.
They went to bed.
The night passed.
The sun climbed up quietly from the east.
morning.
A carriage left the city gate and headed for the main town.
It just so happened that the Jiang family’s ox cart also entered the city at the same time.
Ox carts and horse carriages meet.
Heading in the opposite direction.
The coachman of the carriage was wearing a straw hat, and his face under the hat looked extremely ferocious.
It turned out to be that human trafficker.
In the carriage.
Sun Lai Di and the other two, who were covered in wounds, had already changed into clean clothes. Their hair was tied up with cloth ribbons and the dirt on their faces was washed clean.
The three of them huddled together.
Shivering.
"Sister Wanru, what should we do? We have already left the town. Will we ever be able to come back?"
Sun Laidi's eyes were red.
She had never traveled far since she was a child. The only time she came to town was when she was sold to a human trafficker by her grandmother.
"Don't be afraid. I just heard him tell the guard that he was going to Chang'an Town. My home is there. It would be better for us to go there. It's okay. My parents will definitely find us."
Different from Sun Lai Di.
Fang Wanru was extremely calm.
She is from Chang'an Town.
If the carriage really goes to Chang'an Town.
The possibility of her being rescued was even greater, because her family lived in Chengtou Street, the most prosperous street in the town. Those who could afford to buy a maid were not very poor, and their families might also live in Chengtou Street.
If only it were more clever.
When I got off the carriage, I met my parents.
Isn't there hope?
There was a gleam in Fang Wanru's eyes.
She clenched her hands tightly.
His lips were bitten white.
The torture these days has completely changed her personality.
"Wanru sister, I believe you."
Fang Wanru's words made Sun Laidie's body stop shaking so much.
She said with a cry.
As for his hands, he was hugging his sister.
Dare not let go.
Sun Simei, who was only three years old, stared blankly at the carriage with her big eyes wide open, looking around.
She didn't know what happened, she only knew that her sister was by her side, accompanying her and protecting her.
The carriage went further and further away.
It quickly disappeared.
The Jiang family’s ox cart was also parked in the backyard of the shop.
Everyone, wearing new clothes, got off the ox cart with smiles on their faces.
Walking into the yard, a new busy day began.
"Excuse me, is your restaurant hiring?"
At the end of Baishi Street, Jiang Zi Chong and his brother stood at the door of a restaurant, bending over and asking the waiter.
