LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 15 Surprised
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Xiujuan and the four of them were busy in the kitchen when the courtyard door suddenly rang. She hurriedly put down her work and went out. When she saw it, it turned out to be an old woman with shabby clothes and gray hair, carrying a basket in her hand, followed by a man about eleven or twelve years old, wearing old clothes with several patches. .
"Ms. Yuan, I'm sorry to disturb you!" The old woman looked stunned.
Yuan Chuyi had a smile on his face, "Don't bother me. What can I do, grandma?"
Grandma opened the cloth covering the basket, revealing a basket full of radishes, "I heard from the second uncle of the Zhang family that you have been buying radishes for the past two days. I, I have a little bit of it, I wonder if you will accept it?"
Yuan Chuyi looked at the basket of radishes and the old man's cautious look. She could tell that the old man's situation was definitely not good.
"I'll take whatever you have!" She opened the courtyard door and let them in. "Please come in, and I'll get you the money!"
The old man and the child entered the courtyard and stood cautiously by the door. The child heard the sound of reading coming from the main room and couldn't help but look in the direction of the main room.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he looked at the main room and then at the child, "They are my fifteenth and sixteenth. What are your names?"
"Xu Qiushi, nicknamed Shitou." The child replied politely, and it was obvious that he was a very polite child.
Yuan Chu was very satisfied with the children's performance, "Grandma, we have just arrived here. My fifteen and sixteen don't have many friends yet. Can your Shitou play with them for a while?"
Grandma Xu was surprised and happy, "Okay, that's okay. I'm afraid the stone is too skinny and might disturb you!"
"It's okay!" Yuan Chuyi looked towards the main room, "Fifteen, sixteen, come and meet new friends!"
Fifteen and Sixteen immediately put down their books and ran out. When they saw strangers, they were a little afraid of strangers and hid behind Yuan Chuyi. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he pulled them out and asked them to play with stones. The three children looked at each other, and soon got to know each other with smiles on their faces, and went into the main room to play together.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he asked Grandma Xu to come in and sit down, but she refused. So at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, he took the radish to the kitchen, estimated the weight, and gave her ten cents.
Grandma Chen took the money and thanked her profusely. Seeing that the three children were having a good time, she left the children to play here on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty and said she would send them back later. When Grandma Xu saw that her stone was having fun, she left him behind and went back first.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he returned to the kitchen and asked Zhang Xiujuan and others about the situation of Grandma Xu's family.
Zhang Chunlin said that Apo Xu and Shitou were originally from a neighboring county. There was a major earthquake in the neighboring county three years ago. Only a few dozen people in their village survived. These people fled together to Fucheng. Later, when the court resettled the refugees, Apo Xu and Shitou The other two families were arranged by the Yamen to settle in their village and became villagers in their village.
"Grandma Xu is already old and Xiao Shitou is young. They can't do much work in the fields. They don't have many silkworms to raise, they don't make many cocoons, and they don't have many relatives or friends to help them. Their family's situation has been poor. OK!" Zhang Chunlin said.
Yuan Chuyi understood it, no wonder Grandma Chen thanked her profusely for accepting the ten cents just now. Everyone's life is unsatisfactory. Even if she wants to help them, she is unable to do so.
Not long after seeing Grandma Xu away, the courtyard door rang again. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, she went out to open the door again. This time, standing outside the door was a young man in his early twenties, with an ordinary appearance but a strong build.
"Ms. Yuan, excuse me, my name is Huang Sanfu, and Huang Daqiang is my brother!" Huang Sanfu introduced himself with a red face.
Yuan Chuyi looked at him indifferently and said, "You are Sanlang of the Huang family. What do you want to see me for?"
In the room, Zhang Chunlin and the four of them heard that someone from the Huang family was coming, and they quickly stopped what they were doing and came out to watch the fun.
Huang Sanlang bowed deeply to Yuan Chuyi, "Ms. Yuan, I'm very sorry. My brother and my mother have brought you trouble. I, I will apologize to you on their behalf!"
Yuan Chuyi sneered, "That's no need. They did it and it has nothing to do with you. It's up to them to apologize! If there's nothing else, just go back!"
"I'm very sorry!" Huang Sanfu said sincerely again, "My second brother and fourth brother told me what you said in the Yamen today. We all think you are right. We will take good care of our mother in the future and will not do it again. Let her talk nonsense!"
He pointed to a load of firewood by the door, "Consider this firewood as my apology to you! From now on, I'll take care of all your firewood!" After he finished speaking, he bowed again, "I'm really sorry, please You forgive me!”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked away quickly. No matter how Yuan Chuyi called him from behind, he didn't look back.
Yuan Chuyi looked at the firewood beside the door and didn't know how to get along with the Huang family. She really didn't like Huang Yang, and she was even more disgusted with Huang Daqiang.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he took out a bunch of copper plates and handed them to Zhang Chunlin, "Chunlin, could you please go back and help me get the fifty coins for him? I will buy this firewood! Please help me tell him not to do it again." It’s delivered, and I don’t want it even if it’s delivered!”
Zhang Chunlin looked at the copper plate in his hand and nodded, "Okay!" But he thought for a while and finally said,
"Sister Chu Yi, Huang Sanlang is actually quite nice. He is different from his three brothers. He is not clumsy and hard-working. He does all the work in their fields."
Yuanchu nodded, "Well, I can see that he is a sensible person, but I don't want to deal with his family. I'm sorry to bother you."
Zhang Chunlin smiled helplessly, "It's okay, I'll take care of this for you!"
"Thank you!"
As night fell, Zhang Chunlin and the other two, who were quick and agile, had already finished processing all the pork and radishes in the kitchen. They took advantage of the twilight to take the stones and return to the village together.
At the first sight of the Yuan Dynasty, Shiliu was very reluctant to part with the pair of stones. I expected that the two children would play well.
"Sister, stones can also read, you wouldn't think of it!" Shiliu said mysteriously.
This surprised Yuanchu, "Has Shitou also studied?"
"Well, Shi Shi said that his family used to be very good. His brother was a scholar. He also went to school for four years. Unfortunately, there was a big earthquake in their hometown three years ago. Except for him and his grandmother, everyone else in his family was killed. ! He can't go to school anymore!" When Shiliu said this, her eyes were full of sympathy, "Sister, can I often go and play with rocks in the future?"
"can!"
It's rare for Sixteen to find a like-minded friend in this village.
"You can also go to the village when you are fifteen to see if there are children of the same age and play with them." Socializing is necessary, and Yuan Chuyi encouraged them to find their own friends.
Unexpectedly, Fifteen looked disdainful, "I don't want to go. It's better to do more work at home than to go play! My sister is pregnant with the baby, so she can't be too tired. I will do all the work at home in the future!"
This child must be too precocious. No wonder she has been working hard these days.
"Who told you this?"
"I heard everything that third grandpa said that day, and I understood everything!"
Yuan Chuyi was surprised and looked at them, "Do you hate sister?"
