Chapter 217 Xiaohong
Last night, several people ate boiled mutton and drank a lot of wine.After a night of sound sleep, I woke up late the next day.
It was Gao Ma, Song Ma and Cui Er who got up first, and they turned on the fire to boil the water and asked Mo Xiaomei and Siqi to get up.
The two groaned a few times, turned around and fell asleep again, Gao Ma said with a smile: "You two slobs, didn't you keep saying last night that you have something to do today, and asked you to wake up early?"
Mo Xiaomei heard Gao Ma's words, and then hurriedly got up with an "ouch".While she was in a hurry to get dressed, she pushed Shiqi again: "Lazy, get up quickly, aren't we going out today?"
While talking, she opened the window and looked out again, urging Siqi: "Hurry up, the weather is gloomy today, and it will snow heavily when you come back!"
Only then did Siqi remember what happened yesterday, and the two agreed to find Xiaohong together today!She also hurriedly got up.
The two were busy dressing and washing. Gao Ma had already served noodles for the two of them, and kept telling them: "Be careful when you go out! Don't talk to people you don't know! Find Xiaohong The girl is better, if you can't find it, come back quickly..."
The two felt warm in their hearts, but they said: "Mom, we are not children anymore, are we afraid that someone will abduct us?"
Gao Ma said again: "The two young girls are really worrying, and you two are good-looking, which is even more worrying..."
The two laughed and said, "Don't worry, we will be careful!"
The two of them had dinner, and then hurriedly cleaned up. Mama Song had already found a carriage.The acquaintance she was looking for agreed to hire a car for a day, and asked the driver to take care of the two girls, and told him to drive slowly so that they wouldn't drop the two precious girls.
When Mo Xiaomei and Siqi packed up and came out, she kept thanking and confessing to others.The two chess players stood aside and watched with smiles, tears welled up in their eyes.
In the end, it was Gao Ma who held her back and said, "Sister, stop nagging, look, it's cloudy today, let them get up early and come back early!" Wan asked for a long time.
Only then did Song Ma grab her and said, "Are you still talking about me? Aren't you just talking non-stop?"
Then Gao Ma came to her senses, she covered her mouth and smiled for a while, then told the driver to take care of him, and gave him some more money, before letting the carriage go.
Seeing the car moving, Mo Xiaomei hurriedly leaned out and told the two to go back quickly, seeing that it was cold outside.But the two mothers stood at the entrance of the alley and waited until the carriage was out of sight before turning back.
Mo Xiaomei went back to the carriage to finish the work, tucked the door curtain, and then said with a smile: "The two mothers are so worried about us, as if we are children!"
Siqi smiled, but tears flowed out unknowingly, she choked up and said: "Little sister, let me tell you the truth, even my own mother, she has never, never cared about me so much..."
Mo Xiaomei stretched out her hand to go past Siqi, and comforted her: "Don't be sad, now you have two more mothers all of a sudden, aren't you happy?"
Siqi smiled and said, "I'm not sad, I'm happy..."
While the two were chatting, the carriage walked steadily forward.Because the weather was not very good today, there were not many people going out, and there were few carriages on the road, so the two walked briskly, that is to say, it took more than an hour to reach Rongning Street.
Siqi opened the curtain, took a peek at the neglected Rongning Second Mansion, and said in a low voice: "In the past, no matter when there were knives in the sky, the front of Jia's Mansion was full of people coming and going. I didn't expect it to be like this now Cool..."
Mo Xiaomei also sighed and said: "When the moon is full, you will lose money. Everything in this world is like this. How can there be a family that lasts forever..."
While the two were talking, the carriage drove past, and after a while, they arrived at the street where Xiaohong and Jia Yun lived.
This street is called "Changsheng Street". Although it is much narrower and dilapidated than Rongning Street, this street is very popular.There are also many pedestrians in this cold day, and the shops on both sides of the street are also open.
Mo Xiaomei and the two hurriedly stopped the carriage, gave some copper coins to the old man who drove the carriage, and said: "Old man, it's cold today, please find a warm place, have some tea and some sunflower seeds and wait for us. We'll be out looking for your old man in no time!"
The driver Qian Enwan thanked him for taking the money, and watched the two celestial girls enter Changsheng Street, and they disappeared after a while.
Naturally, he was reluctant to take the money to drink tea, so he just found a sunny place, crouched down and watched the people coming and going on the street.
Changsheng Street looks narrow from the outside, but once you walk in, you realize that there are many small alleys in the street, and many people live in it.
When Mo Xiaomei and Siqi saw so many alleys in front of them, densely populated with people, they couldn't help being dumbfounded.Not to mention playing chess, even Mo Xiaomei didn't expect that the population here is so dense.
The two had to inquire step by step. Fortunately, many descendants of the Jia family lived here, and Jia Yun's family was an old resident here, so they found out where Xiaohong and Jia Yun lived after a while.
The two of them walked together and counted the alleys on both sides of the street until they reached the ninth alley, which was Xiaohong's house.
I saw a round moon gate in front of me, and the bright red courtyard gate was old and mottled.The courtyard door was ajar, and the two of them gently opened the courtyard door, facing a screen wall with a pattern of magpies climbing plums on the top, and several stalks of green bamboos painted on the screen wall with a big white background.
The two walked around the screen wall, only to see that the courtyard turned out to be a small courtyard house. Although there were many sundries in the courtyard, it was kept clean and tidy.
There was a woman drying clothes in the yard, and seeing her tall figure and fair side face, she looked like Xiaohong.I saw that she was wearing a homely padded jacket and trousers, which made her neat and tidy.
"Sister? Sister Xiaohong?" Mo Xiaomei called softly.
"Ah?" Xiaohong woke up early and just finished washing a pile of clothes, and was about to hang the clothes before it snowed, when she suddenly heard someone calling her.As soon as she turned her head, she saw two beauties with good faces smiling and looking at her.
She rubbed her eyes hastily and took a closer look: it turned out that there were two people standing in front of her, Mo Xiaomei and Siqi.
Her joy was nothing short of trivial, she hurriedly put down the clothes in her hand and came up to meet her, and asked with a smile, "Oh, why are you two here?" As she spoke, she led them into the east room.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you two girls are getting better and better!" As soon as she entered the room, Xiaohong looked at the two of them carefully with great joy.
"Where is it? It's you, sister Xiaohong. Now that you have found Mr. Ruyi, you forget about your sister, and you haven't seen us for so long!" Mo Xiaomei asked with a smile.
"Hey... I've been thinking of looking for you guys for a long time! But how did I know that there is only so much work to do in this family life? I really don't have time to spare!" Xiaohong said with a smile.
