Chapter 10 Are you unhappy?
In Zaolin Hutong, the two siblings had breakfast, and it was already the end of the day when they moved the things on the cart into the kitchen and sorted them.
"Let's go! Let's go back to the inn and come back in the afternoon."
"to make!"
Not long after the two left Zaolin Hutong, Xie Yuan returned home with a basket on his back and some game.
In the inn, it was already noon when Jiang Mingyue and his two men packed up their things. This time they did not run out again, but ate in the inn.
At the end of noon, Jiang Mingyue came to the counter carrying two bags of pastries, and first thanked the shopkeeper.
When they first came to Wanping, because their brother was unconscious, she asked several inns in succession, but none of them were willing to take them in. She thought it was unlucky and was even more afraid that her brother would die of illness in their inn. Only shopkeeper Zheng was willing to take them in, even though the money charged was higher than others. The tenant was twice as expensive, but Jiang Mingyue was still very grateful to him.
She handed the pastry to shopkeeper Zheng and told him about checking out.
Shopkeeper Zheng sent someone to inspect the courtyard and made sure that the siblings had not damaged anything in the courtyard. He simply returned the 10-tael deposit to her.
Jiang Mingyue took it with both hands and said, "I wish you a prosperous business and abundant wealth in the future."
Shopkeeper Zheng, who was always serious, showed a smile when he heard this.
"I'll lend you some good words."
Saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Zheng, Jiang Mingyue packed up her baggage, left the inn with her brother, and returned to Zaolin Hutong.
Jiang Minghong pushed open the door of the main hall and turned around to look at Jiang Mingyue.
"Sister, this will be our home from now on."
Jiang Mingyue nodded heavily. After more than half a month in Wanping, they finally had their own home. Although living in an inn was very comfortable, their mood was completely different.
"Sister, I'm sorry. For now, my brother can only let you live here. When he gets older and has fame, we will change to a bigger one."
The place where my sister used to practice martial arts was bigger than this small courtyard. Jiang Minghong felt guilty for his sister.
Jiang Mingyue pinched her brother's nose gently.
"Although this place is small, there's nothing wrong with it, sister! It's not as expensive as you think. You can eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but you can also eat simple meals, but..."
She playfully winked at her brother with her left eye and said, "I'm waiting for the day when you pass the exam and the scholar changes me to a big house. Don't make me wait too long!"
Jiang Minghong smiled and nodded.
"We have moved here, should we tell Mr. Xie?"
"Don't worry, you can't even close your eyes. Get some rest first. It won't be too late for us to talk to him when he wakes up."
Jiang Minghong woke up early in the morning and was indeed very sleepy.
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister."
Lying on the soft bed, covered with the quilt made by his sister, Jiang Minghong's heart gradually calmed down. The experience during this period of time made Jiang Minghong clearly realize that everything is different from the previous life, and things are moving forward. Development in a good direction.
In this life, he not only has to protect his sister, but also rescue his parents.
Jiang Minghong slept soundly this time, and when he woke up, it was already midnight. At that time, his sister was preparing to make dinner, that is, porridge, because they had bought steamed buns and steamed buns in advance.
"Sister, I'm coming!"
During this time, his sister was cooking, and now he also wanted to cook a meal for her.
"Can you do it?" Jiang Mingyue looked at her brother and asked uncertainly.
"It's just cooking porridge, don't worry I can do it."
Jiang Mingyue looked at her younger brother and said solemnly: "Okay, you come and cook the porridge, and I'll go to Brother Xie's house to bring some bath water."
"Can I help you?"
Jiang Mingyue patted the cart.
"No, I'll take the car."
Jiang Minghong was relieved after hearing this.
Watching his sister go out, Jiang Minghong grabbed a handful of rice and felt it was a little short. He grabbed another handful and put it directly into the pot. When scooping out water, he cleverly took out a bowl and scooped out two bowls of water. Pour it into the pot.
Just two bowls of porridge, no more, no less, um, and then put the grate on the grate to heat the steamed buns, look, how simple it is...
"Dong dong dong!" The door was knocked so softly and rhythmically. Xie Yuan knew who it was without even thinking about it. After taking two steps out, he stopped again, turned around and put out the fire on the stove. Then he went out.
"coming!"
Jiang Mingyue heard Xie Yuan's voice and put down her hand. She thought she would have to wait for a while, but he opened the door quickly.
"Thank you, brother. I'll get some water."
Xie Yuan said 'hmm', turned sideways and said, "Come in!"
Jiang Mingyue pulled the trolley in, and a spicy and numb fragrance hit her nostrils. She couldn't help but take a breath, and a lot of saliva suddenly secreted from her mouth. She didn't know what she was doing. It smelled so good! It brought out all the greedy things in her stomach.
"Brother Xie is cooking? Did I disturb you?"
"It doesn't matter, it's done."
Xie Yuan left the courtyard door open, walked to the well, and turned the rope to draw water.
"Thank you, brother, I'll do it!"
Xie Yuan glanced at her white little hands.
"A bucket of water is so heavy that you might not be able to shake it."
Are you looking down on her again?
"It's important to give it a try. I can't shake it up. How about you help me, Brother Xie?"
Looking at the insistent girl, Xie Yuan gave up his seat.
Jiang Mingyue held the handle and shook it. Well, it was indeed very light.
Xie Yuan saw that she could easily bring up the water, and looked at her in surprise. Jiang Mingyue was stronger than he thought.
"I came here to fetch water, but have we moved here?"
"Well, we moved here in the afternoon. Brother Xie, can I come here often to fetch water in the future?"
"Can!"
"Let's go with the market price. How about two cents for a bucket of water?" Jiang Mingyue looked at the man and discussed.
"Okay!" Xie Yuan knew very well that if he didn't agree, Jiang Mingyue might not come to fetch water in the future.
Jiang Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
"Thank you, brother, thank you!"
"You're welcome."
He was still the same person, and his expression was the same as before, but Jiang Mingyue felt that something was wrong with his mood.
Realizing that the girl's eyes had stayed on him for a long time, Xie Yuan asked without raising his head: "What are you looking at?"
"Brother Xie, are you a little unhappy?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Yuan raised his head and looked at her with a pair of dark and deep eyes. He was slightly surprised in his heart because of Jiang Mingyue's sensitivity.
There was no emotion in the man's eyes, only bottomless darkness, as if it could suck people in.
After the two of them stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but looked away first. She thought about what to say before speaking: "In life, there will always be many unhappy things, but no matter what, our mood is ours." You can adjust yourself. Being happy is a day, and being unhappy is also a day, so be happy every day, why bother with yourself! "
Xie Yuan looked at the people racking their brains trying to comfort him, and his mood suddenly became much better. He put the bucket into the well, and while fetching water, he said: "Thank you, you are right. I really shouldn't be blamed for other people's faults." , affects one’s mood.”
Jiang Mingyue smiled when she heard this.
"Just open it if you want."
She fixed the barrel and asked, "Brother Xie, are you free the day after tomorrow?"
"It's available tonight!"
"You have helped us siblings a lot during this time. I wonder if we would be honored to treat you to a restaurant for dinner?"
"Buy some vegetables to eat at home! It's convenient and affordable."
For the first time, Xie Yuan felt that he was such a considerate and considerate person, but why was Jiang Mingyue's expression so weird?
