Chapter 74
When they said this, although they were whispering, their voices were actually quite loud. They didn't have any intention of avoiding Zhang Xiaohua.
Someone even said, "Who said that only girls can use this name? My aunt's second sister has a puppy called Xiaohua."
"Oh right, my uncle's second aunt's granddaughter also has a kitten called Xiaohua."
After saying that, it made the people in green clothes and hats laugh.
The people in black clothes looked at them and didn't say anything. They also didn't laugh. There was only ridicule on their faces, but it wasn't clear whether it was directed at Zhang Xiaohua or the people in green clothes and hats.
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, her face couldn't help but heat up. She was very embarrassed.
She had used this name for more than ten years, so why hadn't she heard so much talk about it?
When she was at home, there were many Boy children who played with her, but she had never heard them laugh at her. Now that she had just left home, even her name was problematic. Zhang Xiaohua didn't know if she should blame her mother for giving her the wrong name, or if she should blame this group of people in green clothes and hats for being experienced and knowledgeable.
Hearing everyone's laughter, the thin leader seemed to feel that something was wrong. He turned around and scolded, "How can you be so unruly?
How can you bully a newcomer like this? Quickly go back to your room. "
Those people curled their lips and with a face full of ridicule, they relaxed and returned to their rooms. It was as if meeting Zhang Xiaohua had lifted their tiredness. When the people in black clothes saw that they had all left, the simple middle-aged man walked over and patted Zhang Xiaohua's shoulder. He didn't say anything, just smiled, and led them back to their rooms.
Zhang Xiaohua noticed that their rooms were connected to the rooms on the right side of the courtyard.
When the thin bamboo like young man saw that everyone had left, he also walked forward with an apologetic smile and said, "Hello, Zhang Xiaohua. My surname is Tian and my name is Chongxi. Everyone calls me Brother Xi. I'm the manager here. Those people just now didn't know anything, so please don't mind them. They don't have any bad intentions. They were just bored in the villa and wanted to have some fun. If you get along with them for a long time, you will know.
Right, Elder Yu, oh, that one-armed old man, how did he arrange for you? "
Zhang Xiaohua gratefully looked at the smiling young man and said, "I haven't said anything yet. Elder Yu hasn't returned yet. I don't know what to do with me."
Tian Zhongxi said, "Why don't you come with me first and stay in my room for a while until Elder Yu comes back?"
Zhang Xiaohua hesitated and said, "That's not good. I'll wait here."
However, Tian Chongxi picked up Zhang Xiaohua's small bag from the stone table and did not allow him to hesitate. He said, "Let's go. It's okay. It's already dark and the wind at night is very cold. Don't catch a cold. If you get sick before you start farming, wouldn't it be very bad?"
After saying that, he walked away. Zhang Xiaohua helplessly followed behind, but his heart was filled with gratitude.
Tian Zhongxi's room was the first in the inner door. It was a very simple room with a table and two chairs. There were two kang beds in the room. One of them had a bedding while the other had a cabinet. There were also some items on the ground that seemed to be placed neatly. Tian Zhongxi placed Zhang Xiaohua's bag on the table and poured a cup of water for Zhang Xiaohua from the teapot on the table. He said with a pleasant expression, "Drink some water first and wait here. If it's not enough, pour it yourself. I'll go wash my face."
Zhang Xiaohua thanked him and took the teacup. He hadn't had a sip of water since lunch. He was so thirsty that his throat was smoking. He didn't stand on ceremony after taking the teacup and drank it in one gulp. Then, he poured another cup and drank it in one gulp before putting down the teacup.
Tian Zhongxi handed the teacup to Zhang Xiaohua and took out a copper basin from the door to wash his face.
While Zhang Xiaohua was waiting for Tian Zhongxi to return, he heard a shout from outside. "Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Xiaohua, where are you?"
Zhang Xiaohua knew that something was wrong and quickly ran out. As expected, the one-armed Elder Yu was shouting loudly in front of the stone table under the shelf.
Zhang Xiaohua ran in front of Elder Yu and said, "Hello Elder Yu, I'll be sitting in Brother Xi's room for a while."
Elder Yu's old face was still stiff as he said, "En, since you know that I'm called Elder Yu, then you should know that I'm in charge of the medicine field. I don't care who brought you in, but since you're here, you have to listen to me.
The higher-ups haven't assigned you any work yet, so you should first familiarize yourself with the environment. "
At this moment, Tian Zhongxi also walked over with the copper basin. Elder Yu called out to him, "Zhongxi, come over. You guys already knew each other just now, right? This is Zhang Xiaohua from the Lotus Flower Escort Agency. Don't assign any tasks for now, familiarize yourself with the environment first. You can make the arrangements."
When Tian Zhongxi heard the words "Lotus Flower Escort Agency", his face couldn't help but twitch. However, he quickly put on a smile and said, "Alright, Elder Yu, don't worry. I'll properly familiarize Zhang Xiaohua with the environment. That Liu Er left in a hurry and didn't even put away the bedding in his room. Why don't we let Zhang Xiaohua stay on Liu Er's kang bed?"
Elder Yu nodded and said, "You can make the arrangements as you see fit."
When he finished speaking, Elder Yu didn't even look back as he walked into the inner door and quickly disappeared.
Tian Zhongxi then brought Zhang Xiaohua with him to a room. The moment Zhang Xiaohua entered the room, she smelled a strong stench of stinky feet. She looked up and saw a skinny middle-aged man wearing green clothes and a small hat sitting at the head of the kang bed with his eyes narrowed. He was humming a little tune while rubbing his stinky feet with both hands. From time to time, he would even bring his fingers to his nose to sniff, as if his hands were stained with Ye Lai Xiang.
Not only did Zhang Xiaohua furrow her brows, that Tian Zhongxi even called out, "Ma Jing."
Then, he quickly walked over and pushed open the window. When Ma Jing heard Tian Zhongxi's call, he quickly jumped down from the kang bed and put on his shoes. He rubbed his hands on his clothes and said, "Brother Xi, why did you come to my room?
What's the matter? "
Tian Zhongxi didn't walk over, but stood by the window and furrowed his brows as he said, "Ma Jing, it's not that I want to criticize you, but you're already in your thirties and you're still like this. No wonder you can't even find a wife."
Ma Jing wasn't happy and said in a strange tone, "Brother Xi, can you not always talk about this?
No one wants to marry me because no one has discovered my golden inlaid jade. I'm an inner beauty, unlike those pretty boys who need careful and deep communication to discover it. "
Not only was Tian Zhongxi happy, Zhang Xiaohua looked at this shifty-eyed wretched man who was only half a head taller than her and laughed out loud. Ma Jing immediately asked, "Zhang Xiaohua, could it be that you have an opinion?"
Zhang Xiaohua quickly gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Brother Ma is a character. I just saw you and felt that you have a dignified appearance. How could I have an opinion? I'm just thinking about how to learn from you in the future."
After saying this, a layer of goosebumps appeared on her skin. She thought to herself, "These flattering words aren't something an ordinary person can say. I'm new here, so it's better to be careful. This place isn't like the Guozhuang House. If I want to survive, it's better to change. Maybe it's good to be simple, but Liu Kai was right. Survival of the fittest. If I can't survive, how can I be simple?"
Inadvertently, Zhang Xiaohua's mind had matured greatly. An embarrassed country boy was gradually growing up in the world of mortals.
When Ma Jing heard Zhang Xiaohua's words, he happily said, "Brother, there's nothing to say. In the future, I'll take care of you. Come, come sit."
As he said this, he reached out to pull Zhang Xiaohua. Zhang Xiaohua looked at the pair of hands and felt uncomfortable in her heart. She quickly said, "Oh, wait a moment. Let's listen to what Brother Xi has to say."
When Ma Jing heard this, he stopped and nodded, "En, what you said makes sense. Brother Xi, should we let Zhang Xiaohua stay on Liu Er's kang?"
Tian Zhongxi nodded and said, "Yes, it's already late today. There's no time to prepare. For the time being, let's let Zhang Xiaohua stay here. We'll see how Liu Er is doing."
Ma Jing said, "No problem. Since you've entered our Huan Xi Mountain Village, you're our brother. Everything can be discussed. Come, brother, I'll put your bag down."
As he said this, the pair of hands reached out to take Zhang Xiaohua's bag. In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaohua took two steps forward and walked to the empty kang. She shook her hands and threw it on top of it, saying, "Brother Ma, you should rest more. I'll do this myself."
Ma Jing stood there, chuckling and not saying anything.
Tian Zhongxi glanced at Ma Jing and Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you can stay here for the time being. If there's anything you can't solve, come find me. You can't wear this here. However, what clothes you wear is a problem. I'll have to ask Elder Yu later."
Ma Jing said from the side, "Brother Xi, Zhang Xiaohua's height is a bit small. However, there are many manservants like him in the village. The steward has many clothes of his size. Just find him a set. Why do you have to ask Elder Yu?"
Tian Zhongxi didn't say much to him. He smiled and turned to leave the room, leaving behind a sentence, "Zhang Xiaohua was found from the Lotus Flower Escort Agency. It's not good to use the style of the village."
Ma Jing was stunned and muttered, "Lotus Flower Escort Agency?"
He turned back to look at Zhang Xiaohua and laughed wildly, "You, Lotus Flower Escort Agency?
Hahaha. "
He laughed and sat back down on the kang bed, then sat cross-legged. His hands naturally supported his legs as he said, "A child from the Lotus Flower Escort Agency?
Who would believe that.
However, this is fun. "
Then, he curled his lips.
He said to Zhang Xiaohua, "That, Brother Xiaohua, you can do as you please. From today onwards, we're roommates. You don't have to be polite. If there's anything you need, just tell Brother. Brother isn't afraid of trouble."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Ma. I know. If there's anything I need, I'll definitely tell you."
Although this roommate had a different quirk from ordinary people, Zhang Xiaohua was also very satisfied when she saw this spacious and bright room. This room was bigger than two of the rooms in her house. Staying here, she could sleep soundly at night. However, she didn't know how Second Brother was doing.
There was also her mother and father at home. Ai, she had only left for a few days and she was already missing them.
However, Zhang Xiaohua immediately warned herself that she couldn't slack off or be homesick. Whatever she did now was so that she wouldn't bleed or lose her life in the future. It was all for the sake of her family's safety in the future.
With this thought, the homesickness gradually faded.
