Chapter 324

Zhang Xiaohua waited outside Father Hao's door for a long time before Ji Xiaohua arrived.

Ji Xiaohua looked very listless.

However, when she saw Zhang Xiaohua, she still forced a smile and said, "Young master, sorry to keep you waiting for a long time."

Zhang Xiaohua waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

So Ji Xiaohua led Zhang Xiaohua back to Ji Xiaohua's shabby house. When they arrived at the door, Ji Xiaohua turned around and asked, "Young master, we're at my house. Do you want to go in?"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, let's go in and talk."

Ji Xiaohua was a little absent-minded. She pushed the door and went in without saying hello. Madam Zhang heard the movement inside and forced herself to be alert. She asked in a weak voice, "Xiaohua is back?"

Ji Xiaohua was a little flustered and hurriedly responded, "Mother, it's me. I'm back."

Madam Zhang coughed for a while and scolded, "You child, you didn't say anything when you entered the house. That young master has already left. Later, you and Mother will go to Father Hao and let him talk to you again. The young master only gave you ten or so coins, which can't be compared to the long-term income of the tea shed. You'd better go to the owner of the tea shed and admit your mistake. You can be beaten and punished, and then boil water for him."

"That … Mother, the young master hasn't left yet."

With that, Ji Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohua apologetically and walked into the shabby house.

"What? He hasn't left yet, and you're back?

Did you do something wrong again? "

Ji Xiaohua's little face was a little red and said, "Mother, I didn't do anything wrong. The young master insisted on coming to our house."

"Hey, the young master is here again.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Xiaohua, come and help Mother up. "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she wanted to stop him, but after thinking for a moment, she stood there with a smile and didn't move.

At this time, she heard Ji Xiaohua's voice inside the room, "Aiyo, Mother, why haven't you eaten the buns from this morning? It's already noon, you must be starving.

I'll heat it up for you now. "

Then there was a burst of coughing, and then a gentle voice said, "Xiaohua, you must be hungry. Go and heat up the buns. You can eat them. Niangqin just drank last night's corn. I'm not hungry at all."

"Mother, that rice stubble has been there for several days. It has a rancid smell. Didn't you say that you would throw it away today? That's why you didn't let me eat it?"

"It's okay. Niangqin originally wanted to throw it away, but after smelling it, it was still edible. That's why I casually ate it. It can resist hunger and thirst. Xiaohua hasn't eaten buns for a long time, so eat a little more. Niangqin's body is the same, but you're different.

You're growing. "The mother and son's voices weren't loud, but Zhang Xiaohua heard everything clearly. She was moved, and carefully tasted the affection of licking her child. In this world, the mother's love for her son was really the same!

She couldn't help but think of her distant mother.

Inside the room, Xiaohua said again, "Niangqin, try it. This is a snack from Tasting Tea Pavilion. The young master ate it at noon. I brought back the rest."

"Niangqin doesn't want to eat. You eat it. Niangqin ate it when she was young. It's a pity that you haven't eaten it yet."

"I ate at noon. Niangqin, the young master didn't eat a bite at noon. I ate it all.

Niangqin, quickly eat a bite. "

After saying that, Xiaohua took out a piece from the neatly wrapped handkerchief and put it in front of her mother's mouth. Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "Xiaohua, you eat it. Otherwise, you can eat it at night. Niangqin doesn't feel well and doesn't want to eat it."

Xiaohua was a little angry, so she said, "Niangqin, I know you can eat, but you want me to eat more. However, I'm already nine years old. I'm no longer a child. Don't lie to me. If you don't eat, I won't eat!"

Seeing Xiaohua like this, Mrs. Zhang's tears almost fell. She forced a smile and said, "Okay, Xiaohua, good girl. Niangqin will eat a bite, okay?"

"Xiaohua, good girl." Inside the room, Ji Xiaohua didn't feel much, but outside the room, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was touched. When she was young, didn't her grandmother call her like this?

For a moment, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were blurred. Her homesickness became stronger. She wished she had wings on her back. With just one flap, she could return to the Guozhuang House and plant new soil for her grandmother's lonely small grave.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua coughed a little in the courtyard and said, "Auntie, can you come out for a moment and talk in the courtyard?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she hurriedly said, "Young master, please wait a moment. This lowly concubine will go out immediately. Young master has been waiting in the courtyard for a long time."

Xiaohua also whispered, "Aiyo, Niangqin, I forgot that young master was in the courtyard."

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "Xiaohua, you are still young. Did you offend young master in the morning?

Quickly, help Niangqin out. "

"How could that be?

Niangqin, there is no such thing. "Xiaohua felt very wronged.

"You, ah. You are just a child. If you didn't offend him, would young master come here?" Mrs. Zhang didn't believe Xiaohua.

As soon as they went out, Mrs. Zhang apologized, "Young master, did Xiaohua offend young master in the morning? Or did she do something wrong? This lowly concubine will apologize on her behalf."

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly returned the courtesy and said, "Auntie is too polite. I really didn't. Xiaohua is a good child. I am very satisfied with her. I came here to say goodbye to you. I also have something to tell you."

Mrs. Zhang felt strange, but she still politely asked, "Young master, you don't have to be polite. If this lowly concubine or Xiaohua can help, we will definitely help."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while, organized her words, and then said, "It's like this, Auntie. Xiaohua helped me a lot in the morning. He was very considerate. It was far beyond my imagination. Originally, I told him that I will give him 66 copper coins, but I suddenly changed my mind."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was somewhat puzzled. She thought, "It's fine if you don't want to give money. But why did you say that my son did a good job?

But if you want to give more, you should give him some tips. I really don't understand. "

She saluted again and said, "Young master is too polite. If Xiaohua didn't take care of him well, you shouldn't give him any copper coins. Besides, you gave him steamed buns and snacks at noon. It's more than enough to pay for his salary."

Zhang Xiaohua wrinkled her nose and said, "Auntie, you misunderstood. I just want to give Xiaohua more money."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Young master, you don't have to. Didn't I just say that you already treat my family's Xiaohua well, so you don't need to spend too much money."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "Those are just casual things. I have to thank Xiaohua for what he did for me. You don't have to refuse."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "In that case, this lowly concubine won't refuse. Xiaohua, come and thank the young master."

Xiaohua stepped forward and saluted Zhang Xiaohua: "Thank you, young master!"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "You don't have to be too polite. Xiaohua, I'm very satisfied with what you did this morning. You wrote the route in detail. How can I let you pay for those copper coins?"

When Xiaohua heard this, her face became a little hot.

Zhang Xiaohua continued to say, "Your mother's health isn't good, so you have to take care of her at home. That's right, it's best to let the doctor in the medical hall diagnose your mother. If she's always like this, how can her body withstand it?"

When Mrs. Zhang and Xiaohua heard this, they both smiled bitterly.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua threw the huge sack in her hand in the courtyard with a "peng" sound. She took out the small bag of silver coins that she just exchanged and handed it over. She said, "Auntie, this is what I want to give to Xiaohua. You can take it."

"Ah!!!" Mrs. Zhang and Xiaohua were dumbfounded!

Zhang Xiaohua looked at them and explained, "I originally wanted to give Xiaohua Xiaohua banknotes, but I thought that it would be suspicious for a child to take out banknotes. Moreover, if you have ingots of silver at home, wouldn't it be easy to attract trouble?

That's why I went to the bank with Xiaohua and exchanged them for copper coins. There are ten strings of coins in this sack and five taels of silver coins in this small cloth bag. Oh, when we were exchanging, Xiaohua was also present. He knows that these small taels of silver won't bring you any trouble. "

That's right. Based on Zhang Xiaohua's experience in Lu Town and Ping Yang City, there were bound to be sinister people in this world. If Ji Xiaohua and Madam Zhang went out with five taels of silver, they would probably be targeted by some bullies or scoundrels before they could spend it. She was kind enough to help them, but she did not want to bring disaster to them for no reason.

"Young Master … you … went to the bank to exchange copper coins for me??"

Xiaohua looked at the unfamiliar young master in front of her in disbelief. She did not even know his name.

"Yes, do you think that I have nothing better to do and exchange copper coins for fun? This thing is very heavy. It's ten thousand copper coins and you didn't even help me carry it!" Zhang Xiaohua said jokingly.

"Young Master ~" Xiaohua did not know what to say.

"No!

Young Master, we can't accept this money! "

When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she did not hesitate and said resolutely, "I still want to bring Xiaohua with me. Please don't be like this."

Zhang Xiaohua knew that Mrs. Zhang had misunderstood and smiled, "Auntie, you misunderstand. I have no intention of bringing Xiaohua with me. He also knows that my home is not here and I still have a long way to go. Moreover, to be honest, I'm not some rich young master and don't need anyone to serve me.

So don't worry, Xiaohua will still be by your side. "

"But, Young Master, you … you … are so kind to us. Why … are you doing this for us?"

Mrs. Zhang really did not understand. If it was an older person, she could understand that it was because he coveted her beauty. Not to mention that her appearance was not outstanding, this young master was still too young!

If he wanted to buy her child, her child was not worth so much money.

She didn't want to take the money, but the poor had no ambition. She deeply understood the difficulties of a poor family. It was one thing for her to suffer, but she had to watch her child go out before dawn every day and come back late at night. Her child was bullied in other people's tea shed. Although he didn't say anything, she still heard his cries at night and felt pain in her heart.

PS: There's one more update in the afternoon. I saw the message on my finger. Hehe, I apologize to everyone. This chapter is too detailed. When I wrote about the relationship between Ji Xiaohua and his mother, I couldn't stop writing. I wanted to write something from their conversation. Fortunately, there's no VIP, so I don't need to pay.
