Chapter 321 A Big Pie

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

Ji Xiaohua looked very listless.

However, seeing Zhang Xiaohua, Zhanyan forced a smile and said: "Master, I kept you waiting for a long time."

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

So Ji Xiaohua brought Zhang Xiaohua in front of her head, and the two returned to Ji Xiaohua's dilapidated home. When they reached the door, Ji Xiaohua turned around and asked, "Master, it's 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 distracted, pushed the door and walked in without saying hello. Mrs. Zhang heard the movement inside, strained her spirits, and asked in a weak voice: "Is Xiaohua back?"

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

Mrs. Zhang coughed for a while, and blamed: "You child, you entered the house without shouting. The young master has already left. Later, you and your mother will go to find Mr. Hao and let him go again. Let me tell you something, the young master only gave you ten or so big money, but it is not as good as the long stream of water in the tea shed, you should go and admit your mistake to the tea shed owner, let him beat you and accept the punishment, and then boil water for him."

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

Saying that, Ji Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohua apologetically, and walked into the dilapidated house.

"Why did you come back before he left? Did you do something wrong again?"

Ji Xiaohua blushed a little, 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 it earlier? Xiaohua, come and help your mother to kiss you."

Zhang Xiaohua heard this, and was about to stop it, but after thinking for a while, she stood with a smile on her face and didn't move.

At this time, I heard Ji Xiaohua's voice in the house: "Oh, mother, why haven't you eaten the steamed buns in the morning? Go hot."

Then there was a burst of coughing, and then she said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Hua, you are starving too, go to the buns to heat up, you can eat, mother just drank last night's corn crumbs, she is not hungry at all. "

"Mother, the corn dregs have been there for several days, and they smell rancid. Didn't you say that you should throw them away today, so you won't let me eat them?"

"It's okay, my mother was going to pour it, but I heard that it was still edible, so I ate it casually. It can not only fight hunger, but also prevent thirst. Xiaohua hasn't eaten buns for a long time, so I eat more Just a little bit, mother's body is the same in everything, but you are different, it is time to grow your body."

The mother and son spoke in a low voice, but Zhang Xiaohua could hear it clearly, and she was moved spontaneously, savoring the love of licking the calf carefully, the mother's love for her son in this world is really ordinary ah!

Involuntarily, he thought of his mother in the distance again.

Inside the house, Ji Xiaohua said again: "Mother, please try it. This is the dessert from the Tea House. The young master ate it for lunch. I brought the rest back."

"Mother doesn't want to eat it, you can eat it. My mother ate it when she was young. I'm sorry you haven't eaten it yet."

"I ate at noon, mother, the young master didn't eat a bite at noon, I ate it. You have a bite." Ji Xiaohua took out a piece from the neatly wrapped handkerchief and handed it to her mother for a kiss. In front, Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "Xiaohua, you should eat it, or save it for the night. Mother is not feeling well and doesn't want to eat it."

Ji Xiaohua was a little angry, and said: "Mother, I know you can eat, but I just want me to eat one more bite, but I am already nine years old, and I am no longer a child with long hair, so don't lie to me, if you If you don’t eat, I won’t eat either!”

Seeing Ji Xiaohua like this, Zhang almost burst into tears, forced a smile and said: "Okay, Xiaohua, my mother will just take a bite, okay?"

Ji Xiaohua inside the house didn't feel much about the phrase "Xiao Hua is good", but Zhang Xiaohua outside the house was touched to the softest part of his heart.

When I was young, didn't my grandmother call me that?

For a while, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes became blurred, and her homesickness became stronger. She wished she had wings on her back, and with just one flap, she would go back to Guozhuang and plant new soil for grandma's lonely grave.

So, Zhang Xiaohua coughed a little in the yard, and said loudly: "Auntie, can you come out for a while, and take a step in the yard to talk?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she hurriedly said: "Young master, wait a moment, the concubine will go out immediately, and let the young master wait in the yard for a long time."

Ji Xiaohua also whispered: "Oh, mother, but I forgot about the young master in the yard."

Mrs. Zhang sighed: "Xiaohua, you are still young, did you offend the young master in the morning? Come on, help your mother out."

"How can there be? Mother, there is nothing at all." Ji Xiaohua was extremely wronged.

"You, kid, if you don't provoke others, can the young master still come to us?" Mrs. Zhang didn't believe Ji Xiaohua.

As soon as she went out, Mrs. Zhang apologized: "This young master, did Xiaohua offend the young master in the morning, or there was something wrong, the concubine will compensate you for him."

Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly returned the gift and said: "Auntie is too polite, it really is not. Ji Xiaohua is a very good child, and I am very satisfied. I just came here to say goodbye to you. I have something else to tell you."

Mrs. Zhang was surprised, but she still asked politely: "Young master, don't be too polite, just tell us if you have something to do, if the concubine or Xiaohua can help, we will definitely help."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while, sorted out the words, and then said: "That's it, auntie, Ji Xiaohua helped me a lot this morning, and she was very considerate for me, far beyond my imagination. Well, I told him that I would give him eleven cents, but I suddenly wanted to change my mind."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she was a little puzzled, and said to herself: "If you don't want to give money, that's fine. Why do you still say that my son is doing well? But if you want to give more, then just give some money. I really don't understand."

She saluted again: "Young master, you are welcome. If Xiao Hua doesn't greet you well, you should not give him copper coins. Besides, you can give him buns and tea at noon, which is more than enough for that salary."

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

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Young master, you don't need it. Didn't you just say that you are already good to my Xiaohua, so you don't need to spend too much money."

Zhang Xiaohua said: "Those are all handy, I have to thank Ji Xiaohua for doing things for me, so don't refuse."

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the concubine will not refuse, Xiao Hua, come over and thank the young master."

Ji Xiaohua stepped forward and saluted Zhang Xiaohua: "Master Xie!"

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said: "You don't need to be too polite, Ji Xiaohua, I am very satisfied with what you have done this morning. You have written the route in such detail. How can I let you pay for the few copper coins?"

After hearing this, Ji Xiaohua felt a little fever on her face.

Zhang Xiaohua went on to say: "Your mother is not in good health, you need to take care of her at home more, by the way, it's best to let the doctor in the medical hall give your mother a proper diagnosis. If this happens all the time, how can your body take it?"

When Zhang Shi and Ji Xiaohua heard this, they both smiled wryly.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua snapped the huge sack in her hand and threw it in the yard, then took out the small bag of scattered silver that she just exchanged from her bosom, handed it over, and said, "Auntie, this is me. Put away the ones for Ji Xiaohua."

"Ah!!!" Both Zhang and Ji Xiaohua were dumbfounded!

Zhang Xiaohua looked at them and explained: "I originally wanted to give Ji Xiaohua a banknote, but I thought that if a child took a banknote, people would be suspicious. Besides, if you have ingots of silver at home, wouldn't it be easy to cause trouble? I The bank that I went to with Ji Xiaohua has been exchanged for copper coins. There are ten pennies in this sack, and five liang of scattered silver in this small cloth bag. He is also present, and he knows that these fragments of silver should not cause you any trouble."

Yes, based on Zhang Xiaohua's encounters in Luzhen and Pingyang City, there are always sinister people in this world. If Ji Xiaohua and Zhang's go out with five taels of silver, they will probably be killed by some bullies before they are spent. , or those targeted by scoundrels, and help them with good intentions, don't cause trouble for them for no reason.

"Master...you...go to the bank just to exchange copper coins for the little one??"

Ji Xiaohua looked at this strange young master in front of her in disbelief, whose name she didn't even know.

"Yeah, you think I'm free and fine, and I'm just playing for copper coins. This thing is very heavy, but it's 10,000 copper coins. You don't want to carry it for me!" Zhang Xiaohua said jokingly.

"Master~" Ji Xiaohua didn't know what to say.

"No! Master, we can't take this money!" Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang said firmly and without hesitation, "I still want to take Xiao Hua with me, please don't do this."

Knowing that Mrs. Zhang misunderstood, Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said: "Auntie, you misunderstood, I did not mean to take Ji Xiaohua away at all, and he also knows that my family is not here, and I still have a long way to go, and, to be honest, I'm not a young master from a rich family, so I don't need someone to wait on me. So, don't worry, Ji Xiaohua will stay by your side."

"But, young master, you... you... are so kind to us, why... why?"

Mrs. Zhang is really puzzled, if he is older, it can be understood as being greedy for his own beauty, not to mention that he is not outstanding, this young master is also a little younger! If you want to buy your own child, but your own child is not worth so much money.

She is determined not to want these money, but she is poor and short-sighted. She deeply understands the difficulties of poor families, so she can just endure hardships. Every day, she watches her children go out before dawn and come back late at night. Being bullied in the tea shed, the child didn't say anything, but she still heard the crying at night and felt the pain in her heart.
