《Ancient Wife [ DANMEI MTL ]》35: Beggars!
Advertisement
Zhang Qingzhu was very happy eating the delicious fish nuggets, but after eating one piece, he couldn't help but struggle when he saw the fish nuggets in the bowl. "Seventh brother, I want to take it home and eat it with everyone."
But he didn't want to eat alone, but what bothered him was, "But what should I say when I take it home? If it was given by Liang ruffian, they would definitely have to train me again."
Zhang Qingfu thought about it and said, "Just say yes. I bought it in a restaurant. Anyway, the fish is not expensive, and they must think that it can't cost a lot of money. We have been working very hard these days, so our mother wouldn't say that we spend money indiscriminately."
Zhang Qingzhu asked uncertainly, "Can it work? We don't know if there are any fried fish in the restaurant."
"You stupid, we don't know, and they don't know either. Besides, they don't either. If you are bored, go to the city to inquire." Zhang Qingfu told him, "Just don't say anything."
"Understood." Anyway, everyone can eat it, and he don't have to feel guilty for eating alone. Zhang Qingzhu is very open, "Seventh brother, hurry up with your car, let's hurry home, I'm so hungry."
The fish in the bowl. Although the nuggets are delicious, they still have to wait until they get home to eat with everyone.
"You, you, don't just think about eating all day..." Zhang Qingfu couldn't help but preach to his younger brother, "Don't be so rude with Liang Han, if you can't eat what he gives you, just take it, this is too useless. You don't want to live with him, how can you ask for what he gave you without thinking about it?"
Zhang Qingzhu mumbled in a low voice, "I just eat something from him, how can it be so serious?"
In fact, he was a little guilty himself, but he couldn't control his mouth, and he couldn't resist when he saw delicious food.
Zhang Qingfu knew nothing about his younger brother, and knew that this habit of the other party could not be changed for a while. "Anyway, remember, you can't think about Liang Han just because of what you eat. Our parents want to feel guilty about marrying you out, you have to find someone who can live a good life and treat you well."
"Oh." Zhang Qingzhu felt a little depressed about this topic.
He actually didn't want to leave the house, but the situation at home gave him no choice.
A few older brothers are so old that they can't get their wives. It's not a problem. He can't continue to increase the burden on the family. Going out to live with others is considered to reduce the burden on the family.
However, Zhang Qingzhu has always been a big-hearted master, so he was depressed for a while, and saw the whole person at the door of the house resurrected with blood again.
Because the two came back a little late today.
Seeing that the two of them hadn't come back, Zhang Qingshui was in charge of going out to see if they had come back.
Not long after they left the gate, he saw the two younger brothers. The cold wind penetrated into his clothes, Zhang Qingshui couldn't help shrinking his neck and put his hands in his sleeves, "You two are back, why are you back so late today?"

Zhang Qingzhu replied subconsciously, "The weather today is colder, and the sales are slower than usual."
"Slowly? What are you two selling?" Zhang Qingshui asked curiously.
Zhang Qingfu hurriedly took over the conversation, "It wasn't us who sold it, it was Boss Lin who asked us to help. After all, we are the employers, and of course we can't refuse."
Knowing that he almost missed the mark, Zhang Qingzhu hurriedly nodded. "Yes, we have to be more diligent."
"Really?" Zhang Qingshui always felt that the younger brother's expression was a bit wrong.
Zhang Qingzhu didn't dare to let this topic continue, and hurriedly showed the bowl. "Fifth brother, what is this?"
"Fried fish?" The smell of the meat seemed to taste good, and Zhang Qingshui asked smoothly.
"Where is it? Are you here?"
Zhang Qingfu said, "I bought it in the restaurant. We saw that it was still cheap, so we bought some and came back. Don't talk about it for now, hurry into the house, it's freezing cold."
Zhang Qingzhu also hurriedly said. "Come into the house, we'll eat together later. I've been hungry a long time ago, did our mother leave us a meal?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so cold today. Fortunately, we brought a thin quilt."
Zhang Qingzhu's family has a large population, and a brazier was built in the main room. Zhang Qingzhu took out the bowl and said to his niece, "Xiuxiu, let's see what I bring back."
"Wow, this is fish, it's delicious!" Zhang Xiuxiu looked at the fish in the bowl and couldn't help swallowing, " Uncle, isn't this fish delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious." Zhang Qingzhu said and took out a piece for his niece, "eat it, eat it carefully, don't get caught by the fishbone."
Zhang Xiuxiu happily took it, " I'll eat it slowly."
Zhang Qingzhu distributed the fish pieces to everyone, but the fish pieces were a bit insufficient, he and Seventh Brother had eaten it and could not eat it, but it was still one piece short of it.
Even if Xue Chunlian wasn't there, without her, there would definitely be another scene.
Although he was not afraid of the other party, he was still upset when he really quarreled. He frowned and looked at the empty bowl, a little worried.
Zhang Qinglin saw the younger brother's reaction, he smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, I'll give her this piece. You two should eat quickly, you should be hungry after so long."
Zhang Qingzhu felt a little unhappy, so his third brother would. If he can't eat it, he should count it before he know to eat it.
He regretted it a little, knowing that he would not eat it without a piece of fish. Anyway, he followed Liang Pizi to eat a lot of delicious food, and it was okay to eat a piece of fish.
During the meal, Zhang Qingfu gave his mother today's wages, but they didn't dare to hand over all the money. The family should be suspicious of seventy pennies a day. After all, it's just to help pull the goods, how can there be such good wages.
Wang took the money and collected it. Although she was happy with the multiple incomes at home, she still felt distressed that his two sons went out so early every day to suffer from the cold.
Zhang Qingfu said to them, "It will snow tomorrow, the boss said that we will stop work for a day, and we will not go out tomorrow."

Father Zhang said after listening, "Alright, you can rest for a day anyway."
...
After Liang Han had harvested all the wheat in the field, it was not too early. He brought tofu and soy milk home from Gao's house. As for why his tofu can be made so fast, Liang Han is reluctant to think about it. When he think of the past actions of the original owner, he really feel bad.
Because he was alone, the meal left for Zhang Qingzhu at noon was enough for him to eat at night. However, because he wanted to taste fresh soy milk, he boiled a pot, and saved the excess in the user space, and he could take it out anytime he wanted to drink it.
After dinner, Liang Han was about to close the door and prepare to rest when he found a child lying down at the door.
He hurriedly walked over, "What's the matter with you, are you alright?"
When he helped the person up, Liang Han found that the child's clothes were shabby and his face was dirty, and he said in a weak voice.
"Eat... Let's eat..."
Liang Han was not familiar with the children in the village, but from the appearance of this child, he knew that he was not a child in the village, he looked more like a beggar.
After hesitating for a while, Liang Han picked up the child. If he didn't ask questions on such a cold day, the child might not survive tomorrow.
Xiao Qier felt someone pick him up, opened his eyes in a daze, and struggled nervously. It's just that he is so hungry that he can't resist at all.
Seeing his unease, Liang Han tried his best to make his voice softer, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."
Liang Han's appearance is still very decent, but his tall stature can make people feel stressed.
Hearing what he said, the little beggar couldn't really believe it. His body was a little stiff, and he said weakly, "Put me down—let me down—"
"You really don't have to be afraid, you are just a little beggar. What makes people coveted." Besides, he didn't look like a cruel man, "You're too hungry to walk, so save your energy."
Putting the person on the chair in the main room, Liang Han smiled. "Sit down, and I'll get you something to eat."
Xiao Qi'er was very vigilant, although looking at Liang Han's appearance, he didn't seem to be a bad person, but he didn't dare to believe it easily.
When Liang Han went to the kitchen, he wanted to leave, but his stomach was growling, and it was too painful to feel tired and hungry. He couldn't help but feel anxious when he wanted to go out.
Because he had eaten all dinner, and because Zhang Qingzhu and the others won't come tomorrow, Liang Han didn't have anything to eat.
If you want to get food for the little beggar, you can only start cooking again. So he took out the soy milk, poured a small half bowl, added some sugar, and gave it to Xiao Qier. "I don't have any ready-made meals at home. You drink some soy milk pads first, and I'll make you something to eat."
Soy milk.
The fragrance of the odor was too tempting for Xiao Qier. He glanced at Liang Han and then at the soy milk, feeling a little surprised.
Along the way, although some good-hearted people would give him some leftovers and steamed buns, no one would let him in, let alone cook food for him.
Liang Han's enthusiasm made him even more vigilant. Although soy milk was tempting, he dared not drink it.
Seeing his reaction, Liang Han laughed. "The little guy is not too vigilant."
He don't know what this kid has experienced, and his vigilance is so strong. You must have met someone with a bad heart.
Thinking the child was pitiful, he took a sip from the bowl and said, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous. Besides, the poison is so expensive, who has the spare money to buy it, I'd rather buy a piece of meat with the money." Liang Han smiled.
Laughing, "Drink with confidence."
Xiao Qi'er felt relieved after hearing what Liang Han said, because after Liang Han drank it, he didn't have to worry about adding something to the soy milk, so he took a bowl and started drinking it.
It was even more surprising to find that it was still sweet. He raised his head and glanced at Liang Han who was smiling and wondered in his heart, "Is he really a good person?"
Seeing him drinking, Liang Han didn't say anything anymore and turned around and went out to make it for the child.
Thinking that the child should not eat for a few days, he decided to make him something easy to digest. Then he made a bowl of nugget soup, added chopped green onion, and an egg. When it came out of the pot, he added a few drops of sesame oil, which was easy and delicious.
Xiao Qier drank half a bowl of soy milk, and the warm feeling in his stomach felt much more comfortable.
While hesitating whether to leave, Liang Han came in with a bowl to eat.
"The rice is ready." Liang Han entered the house and put the rice on the table, and said with a smile, "Eat it. Do you want me to try it first?"
Hearing what he said, Xiao Qi'er didn't say anything. Smelling the aroma of the rice, he picked up his chopsticks to eat. The delicious taste made him blushed. It was the first time someone was willing to give him such good food after wandering for so long.
Liang Han didn't notice his mood, "It's getting late, I'll pack a house for you and stay for one night."
He is afraid it's going to snow tonight, this kid will definitely have nowhere to go, if it really snows, it will definitely snow suffer.
You can't invite people to eat and let them go. Of course, he can be so generous because the other party is a child.
If you are an adult, you can have a meal, but if you want to stay overnight, you must consider it.
He was also afraid of bringing wolves into the room.
If it snowed, he didn't know where to go, and there was no broken temple nearby for him to hide. Of course he wanted to have a warm place to stay for a night, and he raised his head and looked carefully at Liang Han, who didn't look like a bad person.
Seeing that Xiao Qier had no objection, Liang Han went to clean up the house.
Because the little beggar seems to be very vigilant, he will definitely not be willing to live in the same room with himself.
So he went to clean up another room, where there was a bed originally.
Fortunately, when he was free two days ago, he cleaned up that house, which saved him a lot of trouble.
After taking the quilt and making the bed, Liang Han got some hot water.
The little beggar was too dirty to take a bath, at least he had to wash his hands and face.
Because it is winter and the need for bean sprouts, he will burn two large pots of hot water every day and store it in the space to ensure that there is hot water for the whole day.
He brought a basin of hot water into the main room, just as Xiao Qier had finished eating, Liang Han asked him, "Are you full? Would you like to drink some more soy milk?"
Xiao Qier shook his head, he was very full, and even had enough to eat.
Seeing that he was full, Liang Han said, "I got you some hot water, you can wash your face. I'll get you some water to wash your feet later, and then go to sleep after washing."
It was getting dark quickly in winter, and it was about to be completely dark.
Liang Han finished talking and went to light the oil lamp.
Xiao Qi'er was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, and even brought him hot water.
He didn't expect to meet such a good-hearted person.
Liang Han didn't pay special attention to Xiao Qi'er, lest the other party be uncomfortable.
Seeing that the other party went to wash, he went to pack other things.
Clean up the kitchen first so you can wash up and sleep.
These days, he has also developed the habit of sleeping when it is dark.
After all, there is nothing to do here.
After Xiao Qi'er was washed, Liang Han found that the child's eyebrows and eyes were very good.
If he was fatter, he would definitely look cute.
He really wanted to know the background of this child and how he became a beggar. However, he was afraid of poking people's sadness, so he didn't ask.
"I'll take you to the house." Liang Han took Xiao Qi'er to the prepared room with the lamp in hand, leaving the oil lamp to him. "There is a chamber pot under the bed. Close the door and go to bed early."
After the sentence, Liang Han went out.
After Liang Han left, Xiao Qi'er went over to insert the latch. It wasn't warm in the house, but it was much better than the outside. He took off his cotton-padded clothes and got into the bed, his little face under the lights was a little worried.
Liang Han packed up, closed the door and returned to the house.
Lie in bed and look at the virtual panel to check his gains.
The cabbage and radishes planted before have hardly been consumed.
Today's wheat harvested a total of nearly 2,000 catties, of which 100 catties were selected from the space, but because the system will extract half of the harvest, he only received more than 900 pounds of wheat.
But these grains were enough for him to eat for a while, so he decided to plant cotton tomorrow.
