"There is a very good cousin in my hometown, but my parents died young. With him, we still have someone to support us!" Chengchun said while wiping his hair after taking a bath.
Madam Zhang then nodded: "It's better if you have reliable relatives here, otherwise you'll be in trouble!"
Cheng Chun smiled: "The waiter will come over and change the water later, and you guys should go take a shower as well. It's so comfortable after taking a hot bath!"
"Okay!" Madam Zhang agreed with a smile. She is also a woman. Although she has been here for so many years, who wouldn't enjoy it? It's just that most people like them who travel around the world don't care much. Since there are
If you get a chance to take a shower, you should naturally wash yourself thoroughly.
When all three of them had finished bathing, the waiter brought the dishes. Because Mrs. Zhang was there, he didn’t dare to order too much red beans. The three of them also had four dishes and one soup, and there was only one meat dish, but on the way
Being able to eat exquisite dishes is already very satisfying.
While eating, Mrs. Zhang suddenly said: "I remember the first time I went out as a escort. I was only sixteen years old at that time. Although I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, I was also used to being pampered. I remember that at that time, it happened to be
In the summer, the escort trip was so urgent that I couldn't take a hot bath for a month. By the time I got to my destination, everyone was so rotten that I made the family feel disgusted!"
"There's nothing to dislike about people who rely on their own ability to eat!" Cheng Chun said calmly while eating his meal, "Those young ladies who look exquisite are excellent at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but in the age of war, these things are
What’s the use?”
Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised, and after a long time she said sarcastically: "I originally told you this as a joke..."
"Mrs. Zhang must have been very sad at that time!" Cheng Chun looked up at Ms. Zhang and said calmly, "If you tell the things that once made you sad as a joke, can Ms. Zhang really let go?"
Madam Zhang was silent.
Cheng Chun added a piece of meat to Madam Zhang: "Actually, it doesn't matter. They were just born well. Madam Zhang can support herself by her own ability. She is not stronger than them. Although it is hard work, she has the confidence to protect herself, instead of relying on everything."
Husband, father, I think your wife is really good, at least, much better than me!"
Madam Zhang looked at Cheng Chun for a long time, feeling sour in her heart, even her teeth were sore: "Yeah..."
Cheng Chun glanced at Mrs. Zhang and saw that her eyes were red, so he said nothing more and just ate the meal in front of him quietly.
After eating, it was already getting very late. Hongdou asked the waiter to find out. She heard that there would be a market tomorrow morning, so she thought about buying some food to take with her tomorrow morning. After all, she would not do it until she had to.
Still don’t want to eat that damn embarrassing thing!
There are two beds in a guest room, Chengchun and Hongdou sleep together, and Mrs. Zhang sleeps in a bed by herself.
Chengchun's bed was close to the window. In the middle of the night, it suddenly started raining. The rainwater pattered on the window, which woke up Chengchun. It was probably because the food at night was a little bit spicy, so Chengchun got up to drink water. In order to avoid the noise, Chengchun got up.
After waking up Hongdou, Chengchun tiptoed to the side of the coffee table. The next moment, she found someone standing behind her.
Chengchun was frightened, but still said: "Madam, it's me!"
Madam Zhang then put down the big knife in her hand and said softly: "I'm sorry, I was asleep when I saw a figure. I thought it was a thief!"
Cheng Chun was also frightened, with cold sweat breaking out on his head, but he still said: "My lady is so vigilant!"
"You haven't been out of the courtyard very often. This kind of inn is not safe anymore. There are some shady shops, and the waiters in the shop will come in and steal things in the middle of the night. It's hard to guard against it!" Mrs. Zhang breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat down aside.
, "Are you getting up to drink water?"
"It was raining outside and it was very noisy, so I woke up and got up to drink some water!" Chengchun said, pouring himself a glass of water.
"Spring has begun, and I'm afraid it will rain more and more. This road may not be easy to walk on!" Ms. Zhang frowned slightly, "Since you are going out tomorrow, if you have some money, buy more changes of underwear. This rain will
I’m afraid it won’t be over if it starts to fall!”
"I brought a lot of changes of clothes!" Cheng Chun laughed, "When I was at home, at this time of year, I almost couldn't dry my clothes, so when I went out, I specially brought a few extra clothes!"
Madam Zhang looked at Cheng Chun for a long time and suddenly said: "Ahua, did you really go to the capital to join your relatives?"
Chengchun's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just feel that you don't like to mention your relatives. Even if you are wronged, you always want to talk about it, but you almost never mention it, as if it is taboo!" Madam Zhang said softly!
, "Were you bullied by your relatives?"
Cheng Chun's face changed slightly, and then he shook his head: "I'm just a little disappointed. After all, I went back to find relatives I hadn't seen for many years because I was desperate. I didn't expect that they would treat me like that. I felt cold and didn't want to mention it anymore!
"
Although this excuse was far-fetched, Mrs. Zhang still believed it.
It rained all night and showed no intention of stopping until the next day. Hongdou braved the rain and bought a lot of food. When they returned to the carriage, Hongdou handed over a whole box of snacks.
To Mrs. Zhang: "This is the walnut cake bought by Hongdou. I bought some more and gave them to my brothers to try. I will treat them as my own!"
Mrs. Zhang looked at the box of walnut cakes and was a little surprised: "You, a little girl, do things very well. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed for many lifetimes!"
Chengchun smiled and then got into the carriage.
When the motorcade left the inn, Madam Zhang was still sitting outside. Cheng Chun was worried that she would catch a cold, so he found a new cloak from his luggage and handed it to Madam Zhang: "The cold in spring is very severe. Madam, please wear more clothes."
That’s it!”
Mrs. Zhang was not polite, took it and got on the boat.
The next road is indeed more difficult to walk. Most of the official roads are smooth, but sometimes you have to walk around the mountain. The foot of the mountain is muddy and it rains. The wheels often get stuck in the mud. In Chengchun, they often have to walk in the mud.
Although they can't help with any hard work, they still have to do the little things.
Hongdou felt sorry for Chengchun's hard work, but Chengchun didn't care. He boiled hot water for them to keep them away from the cold, and dried their wet clothes in the sun.
