Chapter 176 Residence
Jiang Yan asked Lin Dong to drive the carriage forward to the house rented for Qiao Le. Two children in shabby clothes were already squatting outside the door and had been waiting for a long time.
"This is the place we found for Mr. Qiao. It's a bit shabby, so please bear with me." Jiang Yan led Lin Feng and walked in front. Upon seeing this, the two children immediately opened the fence gate of the yard, looking expectantly and amazedly.
With Qiao Le.
Several neighbors also came out to watch the fun, asking each other what Aunt Jiang and her family were doing, and why they brought a strange man back.
"Aunt Jiang, there's no need to belittle yourself. I'm not a noble man. If you hadn't looked up to me, now I would just be an apprentice in a small medical clinic."
He has a clear voice, a gentle face, and a shallow smile. He has a sense of alienation that makes people dare not look directly at him. His unreachable and immortal temperament makes everyone around him lose their color, and everyone follows him.
Listening to his voice, seeing that face and that posture, I was stunned for a moment.
Qiao Lesheng is extremely beautiful, with the kind of gentle beauty that is written in books, neither charming nor vulgar. Now that he smiles, it makes people dare not to blaspheme. His temperament, which has emerged from the mud but is not stained, makes people look at it from a distance without feeling blasphemy.
As if aware of this, the expression on Qiao Le's face disappeared, replaced by a look of indifference and world-weariness.
The carriage stopped directly at the gate, and Lin Dong and others quickly began to unload their luggage.
Lin Dong: "Mr. Qiao, please go into the house first and see how to put these things. We will put them directly for you, which will save you the trouble of moving them around."
Qiao Le nodded and followed Jiang Yan into the house. There were three rooms in this thatched house plus a small hall. His room was on the far right, with the best lighting and the largest room. He frowned as soon as he entered.
The room was too small for him. If all the books were moved in, he might not have anywhere to stay.
Jiang Yan also noticed this problem. The room had been tidied up. The bedding and sheets she bought had been arranged in the room by her two daughters-in-law. Compared with the last time she left, the room was completely new.
"Big baby, second baby, I want to rent another room. How about you two sleeping in one room in the future?"
The eldest child and the second child are the owners of the house. They are twelve and ten years old, but they have been dependent on each other and have lived alone for more than four years. When they heard Jiang Yan's words, the two children, who were as thin as bamboo poles, nodded wildly.
The eldest child blushed and glanced at Qiao Le in embarrassment, then lowered his eyes and said obediently: "It's okay, aunt, the second child and I originally slept together. If you didn't rent it, both rooms would be empty.
of."
One house costs one hundred pennies a month, and two houses cost two hundred pennies. Even if they don’t go to the mountains to look for food occasionally, they will still have money to buy food. To them, this money is like a drop in the sky.
Like a cake.
Thinking of this, the eldest child's eyes almost became wet. Last year, his younger brother almost didn't survive. If the village chief's family hadn't lent them food, he and his younger brother would have starved to death last winter. But this year, with the rent, this winter
Then they won’t starve to death…
"That's good." Jiang Yan nodded with a smile and said to Qiao Le, "This room will be your bedroom, and the other room will be your study."
I followed the eldest child to another room. There were no empty beds inside, only a few bundles of firewood, but the other open spaces were swept clean. It could be seen that the two small landlords were also quite diligent.
Jiang Yan commanded Lin Dong and Lin Nan to clean up the things, and then moved the books in one after another: "Just put the things in first, and then I will ask the carpenter in the village to make some bookshelves for you, and then you can slowly put the books in
If you have any other needs, you can tell me and I will try my best to meet them."
Qiao Le's eyes fell on Jiang Yan. Seeing how busy she was, taking charge of the overall situation, and greeting her thoughtfully, she felt warm in her heart: "No more, it's good enough."
"You should rest for the next few days. You will eat three meals with our family. If you don't mind, I will send someone to invite you to eat together. If it is inconvenient for you, I will prepare a meal for you separately.
A portion will be delivered to you every day."
"The place to teach can only be in the main hall of my house. The place is big enough. For the time being, I can only make do with the main hall. After this period of work is over, I will find someone to build a house. Then I will have a bigger place for you."
It’s time for class.”
There is a solid dirt road outside the door, and there are still dust and ashes floating around with people coming and going. Qiao Le nodded calmly: "Aunt Jiang just arranges it. There is no need to bring food here every day. I will go with you to eat when the children are studying."
That’s it, it saves you the trouble.”
"That's good. You can clean up first and I'll come over to ask you for dinner later."
After moving the things, Jiang Yan left with her whole family. The bustling entrance was completely deserted. Even the eldest child and the second child went to play with Xiaodouzi in the fields, leaving Qiao Le alone to pack her luggage.
His own luggage was just a baggage, which contained three pairs of old clothes and two pairs of cloth shoes. The rest was only some money and sundries. Feeling the thick and soft bed and the brand-new sheets and quilts, he felt
There was a lingering smile on his eyebrows.
The layout of the bedroom is very simple, with a bed, a brand-new cabinet, and a brand-new table and chair. He opened the cabinet and found a new bedding and brand-new quilt covers and sheets under the cabinet. Aunt Jiang must have specially prepared them.
Give him a change of clothes, but the cupboard is empty, leaving him with clothes and other personal belongings.
He simply put away his things, walked around the room for a while, and then saw the brand new wooden basin outside the door, which contained new towels, tooth sticks and soap that was very popular in town recently.
His heart felt hot, the tip of his nose was sore, and his eyes were a little astringent. This was the first time since his parents passed away that someone was so attentive to him. When he thought of Aunt Jiang preparing these things, he choked up involuntarily.
If my benefactor is like this, I will try my best to learn and live up to my trust!
Jiang Yan sneezed and muttered in her heart who was scolding her. At this moment, she was busy looking for Lao Wu and Lin Yousheng's family.
She can make the decision about her son dropping out of school, but she still has to talk to them about Xiao Linzi and Xiao Xiaozi's dropping out of school. After all, her behavior yesterday was considered as overstepping her authority and using their rights as parents to decide the future of their children.
However, both families came up empty-handed, and both families were probably in the fields. She had no choice but to go home first, cook more meals with her two daughters-in-law, and tell them carefully when she invited them to come for dinner in the evening.
Since opening the braised pork shop, almost every meal at home has braised pork. Thinking that there will be many people eating today, Jiang Yan bought another chicken in the village to make soup. Wang Jinhua also asked someone to buy tofu in the town. Jiang Yan
Yan immediately stopped her from trying to stew cabbage and tofu, and prepared to cook it herself to make mapo tofu.
