Chapter 12
The fire in the house is very bright, the heat is rising, and the aroma of food is wafting in the room, so that the whole room is filled with the warmth of home.
Aoi Eda sat quietly on the side, looking at Tanjiro, Youdou, Takeo, Hanako, who were eating food, and the corners of the woman's mouth unconsciously showed a smile.
For Aoi Aoi, the only thing she wants to see is that her children grow up healthy and have a good future, but as for her own future, she has never thought about it.
Outside, the wind was howling, and the cold was still there, but it couldn't invade the warmth of the house.
Aoi Eda picked up the cup.
The hot air in the cup swirled out along the mouth of the cup and hit the beautiful eyelashes of the sunflower branch of the stove, making the woman blink her slightly tired eyes.
"Mother, how can you spend so much today, the days to come..."
Tanjiro was next to him, speaking quietly.
Since the death of his father, almost all the burden of the family has fallen on his mother, Kamato Aoi, who also supported the family with soft but tough little hands.
As the eldest son in the family, Tanjiro will no longer be as innocent as a child, but he has been sensible early, knowing that the family is not easy, and has always wanted to try his best to help his mother support the family, but he is still too young to do much, and he can't help his mother share too much.
At the moment, the family is very embarrassed, but today, when my mother came back, she spent a lot of money to buy things for her younger brother and sister, and even the food, today, she eats it with an open stomach.
After spending so much today, how will I survive the days to come?
"Tanjiro, don't worry, I got a job in the town today, and in the future, you won't be bothered by food."
A smile appeared on the corner of Kamado Aoi's mouth, she probably understood Tanjiro's worries, but now, she had a little more confidence in her heart.
"What job?"
Tanjiro couldn't help but ask, feeling happy for his mother, if his mother could really find a job, she wouldn't have to work so hard.
"A job as a cook, the employer is very kind, the person is very good, and he is willing to let me bring Tanjiro, You Bean, Takeo, and Hanako over, there is a spare empty house..."
"Tomorrow, we can go to the town to live."
............
Listening to his mother's chatter, Tanjiro probably understood the situation, that is, today, his mother went into the town to sell charcoal, and met a good employer, who not only bought all the charcoal left by his mother, but also was willing to let his mother work as a cook with him.
"I'll be obedient when I get there."
Tanjiro whispered.
"I'll be obedient too."
You Douzi, who was next to you, also whispered.
"Don't worry, the employer is very good, and besides, Tanjiro is so well-behaved, and your beans are so cute..., the employer will definitely like you."
Aoi Zhi whispered to his son and daughter, but when he was talking, Aoi Zhi's good-looking eyes were slightly worried.
Although Mu Jun said that he could bring his son and daughter over, in the end he was just saying, if he really brought his son and daughter over, would the other party really welcome it?
These, Aoi Zhi of the stove door is not sure in his heart.
..................
The night was unconsciously deep, the children had already fallen asleep, and the stove door Aoi Zhi also returned to his room.
If it had been in the past, she would have fallen asleep after a tiring day, and she had no energy to think about anything.
But today, very rarely, she can't sleep, because tomorrow she will take her children to the town to be a cook, and she doesn't know what kind of life she will live in the town in the future.
The confusion about the future made her not sleepy at all.
Involuntarily, Aoi Eda came to the corner of the room.
In the corner, a small dresser was placed, and the little hand unconsciously picked up the comb of the dresser, hesitated, and lit the candle.
The flickering light of the candle casts the woman's face in the mirror.
The face of the woman in the mirror is delicate, showy, and with a hint of tenderness, but more than that, she is tired, tired of life.
Aoi Eda couldn't help but touch her face with her hand, and then touch the tools on the dresser, she couldn't remember how long it had been since she had groomed herself.
But tomorrow, when you go to the employer's house, you can't look sloppy, after all, if you are too sloppy, the employer will probably be in a bad mood when you see it.
Picking up the comb, he carefully combed his hair like a waterfall, and then took off the old clothes that were worn out and covered with patches, and replaced them with new clothes with slightly fewer patches.
In an instant, the faces reflected in the mirror seemed to be a little more delicate.
The chest of the new clothes was slightly tight, which made her slightly breathless, and her eyes unconsciously fell on the mirror, in the mirror, her chest seemed to be about to come out, as if the clothes were about to burst.
"It's... It's so unsightly. "
Looking at the image in the mirror, Aoi Zhi's face was a little sad, the clothes were too tight.
So I hurriedly found another piece of clothing from the room.
This dress is loose at the chest, but it is narrower at the waist, which makes Aoi Aoi always feel like her buttocks are clamped.
Standing up slightly, the woman in the mirror showed her convex and backward curls, especially the waist was tight, and her buttocks were very straight.
"No, I still have to change my clothes."
Aoi Zhi's face turned red, and he went to the cabinet to look for clothes, and he always had to choose decent clothes.
