Chapter 156: Encountering the Tiao 2 Dogs
Diao Erqiu, who was standing in the corridor, didn't turn around until he could no longer see the figure.
However, just after taking two steps, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Hey, newcomer, stop."
Diao Erqiu turned around and saw Jinbao, the errand boy in the front hall, behind him.
"Brother Jinbao, are you calling me?" Diao Erqiu asked, pointing at himself.
"There's no one else here. If I'm not calling you, who should I call?"
"Is something wrong?"
"Take this into the kitchen." Jinbao walked up to Diao Erqiu and handed him the sauerkraut.
"Brother Jinbao, where did the pickled cabbage come from? Is it new?"
"Well, tell the chef that these are new dishes bought by the boss, and let him decide on the combination."
"Brother Jinbao, don't we have someone specifically responsible for delivering food to us? Why did another one come? Is that all? Or are there more to come? What do I need to say to the kitchen staff?" Diao Erqiu asked questions one after another, just wanting to find out more.
See if the person who caused me to be unable to stay in Qingfeng Bookstore wants to cooperate with Zhiweilou?
"How would I know that? I just know that this is the one our shopkeeper has just confirmed. Smell the sour smell and see if it's very thorough. I heard that they have ordered 50 kilograms and it will be delivered tomorrow."
After hearing this, the corners of Diao Erqiu's mouth twitched, but there was no smile in his eyes. He lowered his eyes to the sauerkraut in front of him, and a hint of viciousness gradually rose on his face. Because he was lowering his head to smell the dish, Jinbao didn't see it.
"Jinbao, you don't have time to chat with others, come to the front hall and help."
Just when Jinbao was about to talk to Diao Erqiu, Zhaocai called him at the end of the corridor in the front hall.
"Hey, here I come. I won't say much to you, just take the food to the kitchen as soon as possible." After giving this order, Jinbao turned around and ran away in a hurry.
Diao Erqiu, who was standing there with a bad face, stared at Jinbao who was running away, "Bah, calling you brother, you really put on airs, who do you think you are?"
Diao Erqiu felt resentful. He used to work as a clerk in Qingfeng Bookstore. Even the scholars would greet him with a smile when they saw him. Some of them who were familiar with him would call him "Erqiu" and then chat with him for a while as if they had known each other for a long time.
He came to Zhiweilou relying on his literacy ability, thinking that he could be assigned to the accounting office, working as an accountant for a while first and then taking over.
Little did he know that not only did he fail to go to the accounting office, but even his request to greet guests in the front hall was rejected. He accidentally found out that it was the shopkeeper who disliked his ugly appearance.
You have to know that when he was in Qingfeng Bookstore before, as long as the shopkeeper was not there, he was half the shopkeeper. Who would have thought that he would be sent to the backyard to run errands here.
He endured all this.
But today, he actually met someone who made it impossible for him to stay in Qingfeng Bookstore. The past immediately burned him beyond recognition.
"Haha, okay, don't you want to do business with Zhiweilou? I will make sure you can't do it." Diao Erqiu sneered, but with a fake smile on his face, he carried the dishes into the kitchen.
After he got off work, he walked harmlessly towards a clinic in the town.
......
Gu Qingqing took Daxin to buy pig intestines before going home.
On the kang in the east wing of the inner courtyard, Dahua, who was dressed neatly, was mending a piece of Daxin's washed clothes. Daxin didn't know how to use a needle and his mother was too busy, so Dahua could only consciously take the initiative to do it herself.
Erhua half-knelt in front of Sanhua who was lying on the kang, covering her face with her little hands. As her hands moved away, she made sounds of "eh", "ha" and "ah" from her mouth, but she was making faces at Sanhua.
Sanhua was so amused that she laughed out loud.
Wang Wang Wang ~
Dahei, who was guarding the gate, suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Mom is back."
"Is mother back?"
The two sisters spoke in unison, but one used an affirmative sentence and the other used a question.
Dahua put down the needle and thread in her hands, put on her shoes and got off the kang.
Erhua also stopped what she was doing, and when she saw her sister starting to go down the pit, she hurried over to follow.
"Sister, is it really mom who is back?" Erhua asked uncertainly.
"It's cold outside, so you just stay inside. Mom will definitely come to this room to see Sanhua when she comes back." Dahua turned her head and said to her.
After Erhua heard what her sister said, she paused for a moment, then she didn't know what she thought of, but she got off the kang, put on her shoes, and ran in front of her sister.
Rather than saying that Erhua runs faster than Dahua, it would be more accurate to say that Dahua gives way to Erhua and deliberately lets her run ahead of him.
"Mom, you're back. Are you cold? We have hot water in our room. My sister just boiled it for Dad."
Gu Qingqing walked through the gate and bumped into Erhua who was running out of the yard at Ruyi Gate.
Gu Qingqing let out an "Ouch" but said to her, "Run slower, be careful not to get bumped."
When Erhua was about to knock over the basket on the pole, she stopped in a hurry, walked around to the other side of Gu Qingqing, took her hand and said, "Mom, you're back."
Dahua, who also came over at this time, first said to Erhua, "Keep your voice down and don't disturb Dad." After that, he happily greeted Gu Qingqing, "Mom, you're back. Daxin, you're back too. Mom, please go to our room. There is hot water."
Dahua saw that she couldn't take the burden on her mother's shoulders, so she thought about taking the bamboo basket on Daxin's shoulders, but Daxin twisted his body slightly to avoid her.
"I'm here."
"Okay. I'll go to your room after you put your things down. Is Sanhua in your room? Is the kang heated? What is your father doing today?" Gu Qingqing wanted to know if the students were studying well today.
"The kang is very warm. Erhua was teasing Sanhua just now. Dad and Grandpa Yang are in the study in the front yard and haven't come out yet." said Dahua.
"Then you didn't have lunch either? Your dad wouldn't be so obsessed with studying that he forgot to eat and sleep. The few people in the family could only count and write their own names, so they definitely didn't know the meaning of idioms. In the end, she changed the question into plain words.
"At noon, Dad asked us to cook a handful of corn porridge. Grandpa Yang and I ate some pickled vegetables with the steamed buns. Dad also scooped some rice oil and fed it to Sanhua, and then went back to study."
Sanhua is now more than four months old and has recently started eating complementary food.
The main door of their house is located in the southeast corner, so the study is in the southwest corner. There is a crescent door between the study and the front yard so as not to disturb the people inside who are studying.
Gu Qingqing heard Dahua say this, and several people also went into the front yard. She shushed the children twice, and then whispered, "Come on, let's go to the inner yard quietly."
After everything was done, Dahua looked at the pig intestines she had carried back and said, "Mom, isn't this for Uncle Zheng? Why did you bring it back?"
"Oh, they are not setting up a stall today, so we will eat by ourselves tonight. Wait for you to send a bowl to Aunt Meihua, and share some with them."
Dahua thought her mother had forgotten to give it to Uncle Zheng, but now she was relieved to hear that he did not set up a stall today.
Dahua didn’t know how much to scoop for her aunt, so she had to ask her mother to do it, and then she took Erhua and Dahei out.
Gu Qingqing felt cold, so she didn't rush into the house to see Sanhua. Instead, she took the opportunity to go to the backyard, not to see the chickens, but mainly to see the rabbits.
After all, she had never raised wild rabbits, so she threw some cabbage stalks to them yesterday. She didn't know if they would have diarrhea.
Seeing that the rabbit was in good spirits in the basket, she felt relieved.
Then he entered the east wing and roasted himself by the stove for a long time before he went to pick up Sanhua.
