Blissful Days After Widowhood

    Gu Yin just got up.

    The night before, her hands and feet were no longer itchy in the middle of the night, and she had the sweetest sleep recently and had a sweet dream.

    In her dream, she opened a restaurant that was no worse than Wangyuelou, and poached shopkeeper Zhou into her own restaurant.

    They have a two-pronged approach to the red case and the white case. Mrs. Wang helps with other trivial matters. The business is booming, and they are all ready to open a branch in Beijing.

    In her last life, she disappeared when her porridge shop expanded, and opening a branch has become a knot in her heart.

    When this dream ended, Gu Yin became more and more energetic, and when she woke up, she was ready to get up.

    Then she saw Xiao Wu An who was squatting on the head of the bed with his hands dragging his chin.

    The little guy looked at her with unblinking eyes, and immediately turned his back sensible when she saw her waking up, without looking at her clothes.

    "Why don't you go to bed early in the morning?"

    Xiao Wuan said: "Mother told me to look at my sister-in-law, for fear that my sister-in-law would get up and go out again."

    Gu Yin glanced outside, the sky was still gloomy and the wind was whimpering, but it didn't snow again.

    While putting on her coat, she asked, "Can't you go out without snow?"

    Xiao Wu'an shook his head in an old-fashioned manner, and imitated Wang's tone: "Show your sister-in-law to my mother to be honest! If my mother boils the hot water and finds that your sister-in-law is missing, she will hit you. Become a little pig head, and put your pig head on the offering table during Chinese New Year!"

    Gu Yin smiled so much that her face hurt.

    Xiao Wuan also laughed, "That's what my mother said anyway."

    After speaking, Gu Yin took Xiao Wuan out the door.

    Wang's people were in the kitchen room with her ears sticking out, and when she heard her door slam, she immediately walked from the kitchen room to the main room, urging: "I have the hot water ready, and the tub is too. It's clean. Come and wash!"

    In this weather, you don't have to go out after taking a shower. The cold wind will definitely make you sick.

    What else can Gu Yin say? Can only go back to the house to get a change of clothes, into the stove.

    Wang has moved the long table in the middle of the stove, the water tank and the baskets for the ingredients are piled up in a corner, the back door and the window are also closed, and the window seam and the door seam are stuffed with cloth strip.

    There was a large tub in the middle. Before Gu Yin could do it herself, Mrs. Wang helped to pour the hot water on the stove one by one, and then poured it out of the water tank. Pour into cold water.

    Waiting for the hot water to fill the entire tub, Wang sweated on his forehead and said, "Wash it quickly."

    Seeing that Gu Yin was ashamed again, she didn't insist on helping with the washing this time, she closed the door and went out.

    Take a hot shower comfortably and wash my hair with soap.

    Wang sent her back to the house to stay, turned around and took a towel to wrap her hair, and stuffed her with the steamed buns she had just steamed in the morning, and let her sit in the house to eat.

    Be sure that Gu Yin will never go out again in this state, so Mrs. Wang is busy with her own business.

    At this time, Wen Peifeng came over.

    He didn't even think about what happened the day before.

    He brought the Laba porridge given by Gu Yin to Mrs. Wen.

    Mr. Wen accepted his filial piety, and said while eating: "You child is also interested, I am at this age, but eat two less meals, where is it worth when you are walking around? Where's the cook?"

    After speaking, the porridge tasted in his mouth, and the old man's complexion changed.

    Wen Peifeng thought he didn't think it was delicious, so he immediately explained: "This is the porridge that the little lady cooked at noon, but it was cold, so she put it in the food box for a few hours to recreate it. It's overheated. Maybe the smell is gone, can the old lady give that little lady a chance and let me ask her to cook a new one again."

    Mr. Wen put down the bowl and asked, "What little lady? Is that the big bear who came with you in the afternoon?"

    Wen Peifeng said, "It's freezing cold and the little lady is wearing a little thicker clothes. In fact, life is very normal."

    "Is she born pure and white, with particularly bright eyes?"

    In Wen Peifeng's mind, Gu Yin's eyes flashed with a sly smile, and those eyes were indeed smart and clear.

    He lowered his eyes and said yes.

    Mr. Wen slapped her thigh, "You bring that big bear... No, you invite that little lady over, we'll invite her!"

    Mr. Wen hates to owe favors. When he was released from Beijing, he never asked his colleagues for help.

    The day he accepted the favor of the two families, he turned around and forgot their address, so he could only ask the servants to help.

    However, although Hanshan Town is small, it has a population of thousands. Looking for two people who don’t know the bottom line is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

    I thought there was no more to this matter, but I didn’t expect that the little lady who had cooked porridge for him came to Wen’s house on her own initiative—although the Laba porridge was reheated , but Mrs. Wen's tongue is so cunning, as soon as you taste it, you will know that most people can't make this porridge that has worked so hard.

    Then Mrs. Wen went to ask Wen Peifeng to invite someone.

    Although poor Wen Peifeng and Gu Yin are acquainted, Gu Yin often goes to buy rice, but it is the most taboo to have deep conversations, so the two sides are not particularly familiar, he I just heard them talk about setting up stalls at the pier.

    The wind and snow were so heavy that day, the canal could not be sailed for a long time, and there were not even wild birds on the pier.

    Wen Peifeng can only ask the residents near the pier.

    Although these residents do not seek life on the pier, most of them will buy some food on the pier for convenience.

    In this weather, it is not good for anyone to be woken up. After being scolded by three family members, Wen Peifeng found out that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law probably lived in Zhenyi Lane, because someone saw Wang's Please Guan Jutou to find a child. Guan Jutou will bring back a message when he says it is worth it.

    The reputation of "evil mother-in-law and charming daughter-in-law" is also very loud, and he finally found it.

    Scared that the other party would be both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law every time they came, Wen Peifeng thought that most of their families had no adult men, so he also brought an old mother in the house to accompany him.

    Wang came to open the door, she was surprised when she saw Wen Peifeng, and asked, "Why did the shopkeeper come here?"

    As he spoke, he opened the door and invited people to the main room to speak.

    Wang turned his back and snickered, turned to the kitchen and grabbed a handful of peanuts he had just bought the day before, stuffed it into his hand, and gave him and the old mother a wash Bowl of sugar water.

    "There's nothing good at home, see if you're cold, just eat and drink."

    Wen Peifeng thanked him, got up to meet him, and let Wang press it back.

    "You're welcome, please sit down."

    He didn't expect Wang's hand to be so strong, his shoulders felt numb when he pressed it, and the surprised embarrassment flashed across his face.

    Drinking a bowl of hot sugar water, his hands and feet warmed up, Wen Peifeng exhaled a long breath, and talked about his intentions, "Yesterday your little lady passed by our shop, just happened to know Our main family is looking for a cook. I introduced her to the mansion, and there was a little unpleasantness in the middle, but later our grandfather tasted the little lady's porridge and liked it very much, and immediately said that he would invite her. That's why I specially made it early in the morning. found it."

    Wang shi specifically didn't ask Gu Yin about going out to work yesterday, so she didn't know this happened.

    She knew that her daughter-in-law could make up her own mind now, so she didn't help to agree or refuse, she just told Wen Peifeng and the old mother to sit for a while, and she went into the room to give Gu Yin Just ask.

    When Gu Yin was in the house, she heard Wang talking to people in the patio, but in this era, she had just showered and her hair was wrapped, so she could not go out, she could only Put your ear to the wall and listen.

    When Mrs. Wang came in, she saw her with a head like a zongzi, lying on the wall, looking very funny.

    She didn't find it funny: "What kind of weird look did you learn?"

    Gu Yin stepped back from the wall and smiled: "I sound like the shopkeeper Wen of Daxing Rice Shop is here, what did he say?"

      Did you feel wronged outside and didn't come back to tell me? If you are really wronged, don't go, no matter how high she pays us, we won't be mad at us!"

    "Twelve taels of silver a month..."

    Wang smacked her tongue: "My dear! So many."

    But soon she still had a painful expression on her face: "Long life, long life, how can this money be earned all at once? Anyway, the innocent people of our family are not sold to The servants of the big family, don't take that anger!"

    Seeing that Mrs. Wang was so distressed, Gu Yin said seriously: "Don't joke with my mother, the so-called unpleasantness is a misunderstanding. Yesterday, the old man scolded the second master of the house, and the shopkeeper Wen brought it with him. I happened to hear it in the past. The second master of the family felt ashamed, so he drove me away before I went to see the old man. "

    Gu Yinte did not mention that Mr. Wen was the one he met before the stage.

    At first, I thought that since the other party specially invited people to invite me regardless of the past, it must be that they didn't care about the past. Second, she heard Zhao's mother-in-law talk about the Wen family yesterday, but she didn't listen carefully at that time, but she also heard that the Wen family was very remarkable, and it was the family that the Wang family wanted to cling to. Yesterday, she saw the plaque of the Wen family, and Wen was not the surname of the town, it should be the family the Wang family said.

    "The second master of the family has lost face in front of you, and you can't go back..."

    "Don't worry about this, mother, since I'm going to cook for the old man, I don't need to be angry with the second master, otherwise he will be a son and kill the people invited by my father for no reason. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of my father? Besides, you said, we are not prostitutes, we can do this job if we can, and if we can't do it, I'll come back immediately. Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle."

    Wang has gradually become accustomed to obeying Gu Yin's words during this period of time, and now she is speaking with reason and reason, and Wang also nodded and went out to agree to Wen Peifeng . Because it was already halfway through the morning, and Gu Yin had just taken a bath and had no wind, she agreed to let her go to work at Wen's house the next day.

    After the agreement, Mrs Wang sent Wen Peifeng out.

    Wen Peifeng and his mother walked to the entrance of the alley to take a carriage. When he turned around, his eyes were full of flowers, but he saw nothing.

    He sneered, thinking that he was probably too tired to look at his eyes - it's freezing cold, how can there be children without clothes hanging around outside?
