Chapter 438 New Life
There are still good-hearted people in the village, such as Granny Li who went to Chang'an City with Dan Niang to sell vegetables earlier.
The Bao family, a migrant living in the east end of the village, owns a donkey cart. Old Baotou drives the donkey cart, and Granny Li and Dan Niang follow the donkey cart beside them.
The whole family, sitting on the donkey cart from Daya to Wuya, headed towards the city of Chang'an.
After entering the city, Dan Niang and Lao Baotou talked about the place. Sure enough, they arrived at the teahouse in Changshoufang, and Mr. He was sitting in front of the window.
Mr. He saw Dan Niang at first sight. After all, with four little girls following him, she was quite conspicuous.
Danniang handed over the Heli book. Mr. He took it and nodded after reading it.
"You wait here, I will send it to you inside the yamen, stamp it, and it's done."
After Mr. He left, Dan Niang asked Grandma Li Take a purse.
"Uncle Bao, here, drive the donkey cart to the carriage and horse shop. We will wait for you here. We will have to trouble you to send He Lishu back with the official deed."< br>
Although Old Baotou was surprised that Danniang was actually scheming and hid the money in Grandma Li's house earlier, the usually taciturn Old Baotou didn't say much. He only took the copper plate given by Danniang and drove the donkey cart to the carriage and horse shop.
When Lao Baotou parked the car and came back, Dan Niang had already led a few people to sit at a soup cake stall on the street.
"Uncle Baotou, I'm sorry to trouble you, but please keep busy.
Sit down and have a bowl of hot food to warm yourself up."
Old Baotou often comes to Chang'an. Cheng, knowing that such a bowl of soup cakes was not cheap, felt a little embarrassed to sit down.
But how could Dan Niang really have the nerve to use someone else's donkey cart for nothing? She said a few nice words before Old Baotou sat down and started to eat.
After waiting for another half an hour, I saw Mr. He getting off a carriage.
Danniang took the Heli book with a red seal from Mr. He's hand and cried immediately.
"Are you crying?
This is a great thing. You are out of the sea of suffering, and good days are still to come.
The Girl's Support Association has already informed me, so just go ahead and take the girls with you. "
"Thank you, Mr. He, thank you, Mr. He! "
Danniang lowered her head and bowed to Mr. He, her voice choked with sobs.
Danniang bought a few more fires, divided them into two portions and wrapped them in oil paper. , one portion was given to Grandma Li, and the other portion was given to Old Baotou.
"Thank you very much to Grandma Li and Uncle Bao for this. You guys can take the fire and eat it at home."
I still have to trouble Uncle Bao to take Grandma Li back to the village and give the deed to the Sun family. ”
In the end, Lao Baotou spontaneously proposed to send Dan Niang and the other five girls to the girl’s support association. Dan Niang looked at Wu Ya who was less than two years old and was being held by Da Ya. , he nodded and thanked her.
When they arrived at the Maiden Support Association, Lao Baotou and Grandma Li felt relieved when they saw that someone really took in the five Dan Niang Niangs, and they got on the donkey. Cart back to the village.
So, when Li Sanniang came home from work, she saw a basket of wild vegetables sent by Dan Niang. Brought her eldest daughter here. I brought the pastry to the child, but I was too embarrassed to eat it, so I took it and started eating it in small bites.
Alas, he is a good boy. He seems to be a good and filial boy. "
Li Sanniang looked at Sister Li and asked: "Didn't you say that I introduced you to a job?
Do you still have time to dig wild vegetables? "
"Well, it must have been the big girl who took a few little dolls to get it.
They are currently living in the house of an orphaned old lady in the outer three cities. I found them specially for them, so they have a place to stay. ”
Li Sanniang looked at the wild vegetables. There was still soil on the roots. She must have dug them in the mountains outside the city before dawn. With such a big basket, it must have taken most of the day.
“This dish looks fresh. After washing it tonight, you can blanch it, mix it and eat it.”
Li Sanniang sat down and chatted with Mrs. Li. Choosing dishes and chatting.
“Didn’t you mean that those children still have to pay back food ration money to the Sun family?
What should I do if Mr. He didn't say anything about this? "
" I said that the money can be given, but the Sun family must sign a deed indicating the specific amount of repayment. It must also be explained that after the repayment is completed, the two families will not be together in the future. It doesn't matter, the Sun family has nothing to do with this marriage.
In the future, I can’t afford to let Da Ya and the others provide pension funds. "
Li Sanniang nodded, "Mr. He is thoughtful. If you pay back the money, if the Sun family can still sell it in exchange for gift money in a few years, it will be really more than the gain is worth the loss. "
Having said this, Li Sanniang looked at Sister-in-law Li and couldn't help but think of Li Dalang who followed the army away.
However, Li Sanniang didn't want to talk about Li Dalang. Sister-in-law Li, the mother, was definitely more concerned about Li Dalang than she was, the sister-in-law.
So, Li Sanniang mentioned Li Erlang, "Erlang came back quite late from duty these days, so I have to get him some delicious food to make up for it.
Sister-in-law, I have to leave a chicken leg for Erlang from the roasted chicken I bought.”
Li Erlang has been off duty these days and has no time to have dinner with everyone in the Li family.
It was almost time for everyone in the Li family to finish dinner and have a cup of tea before Li Erlang hurried back.
Sister-in-law Li wanted to refuse. A roast chicken only had two legs. In the past, she would probably have given it to Xiao Shilang and Lu Zhuer. But Sister-in-law Li thought of Li Erlang's chin that was a little sharp these days, so she didn't object. Li Sanniang’s words.
While the Li family were chatting in the main hall, Li Sanlang, who had been guarding the door, heard the movement outside the door and asked. When he heard the voices of the second brother Li and Li Erlang, he hurriedly opened the door. door.
In the past few days, Brother Li drove the family carriage to pick up Li Erlang when he returned home.
By the time Mrs. Li packed up the food and sent it to the main hall, Brother Li and Erlang Li had already cleared their hands.
Li Erlang has been hungry for a long time. This is the time when he is growing up. He has been busy for a day and it is all mentally demanding work. He has been able to endure it for a long time.
After Li Erlang picked up the bowl and took a few bites, he realized that there were several pieces of chicken legs buried in his bowl. When Li Erlang looked up at her, Sister-in-law Li smiled and said, "Your sister-in-law bought roast chicken." Come back, this leg is specially reserved for you. Eat it quickly.”
Li Erlang ate it sweetly when he heard that it was specially given to him.
"Although the army has already set off, the grain and grass accounting is not finished yet. It can be said that it has just begun.
So, I have not returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs now, and I will continue to stay under Xu Assistant (Xu Jingzhen) It's time to work.
If I can work for a few more days, I won't be so late again.
Second uncle is tired and has to pick me up. "
Brother Li waved his hand, "I know you have martial arts skills. The Yamen is not far from home, so you can come back by yourself.
But after all, I couldn’t let go. I had nothing else to do, so I just wanted to pick you up.
Besides, despite the heavy rain a few days ago, our own carriage is cheaper. ”
After a brief chat, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective courtyards.
If you have made a wrong choice in the past, don’t be afraid, just correct it.
The important thing is not to stay at the bottom of the pit and not come out, but continue to dig deeper and bury yourself. That is really scary.
