The Blessed Princess
Chapter 203 Getting Charcoal
Wei Ruo and the others walked over, and saw a house in the alley had collapsed, and the ruins of the house were covered in snow.
I asked the audience that the owner of the house was fine and had been rescued, but the house collapsed and the family had no place to stay. The women sat in the alley crying, and the men tried to find some useful things. .
Wei Ruo looked at it for a while, then pulled Wei Jinyi away.
Wei Ruo did nothing, not because he did not consider this family pathetic, but at least the family life was safe in this situation, he said, and there must be someone who is in a worse situation than this family right now.
Wei Jin also did not say anything, although he did not ask, but Wei Jin also knew what Wei Ruo was thinking, and they should have the same view on the matter.
In the future, you can see some broken and collapsed houses on almost every street, but most of the people who can live in the city are not in bad condition.
It's just that this also sends the message that so many houses in the city are destroyed and collapsed, and the situation in the small mountain village outside the city must have been even worse.
After walking for a while, Wei Ruo and the others came to the Sibaozhai and Xuji Boiled Meat Shops.
The door of the Sibaozhai shop was half open, there was a person inside, but the shop was not open; the Xu Ji stewed butcher shop was open, but the front door was quiet, the shop was quiet, a stark contrast to the scenes that lived in the past.
I also know that today everyone is in no mood to buy lo-mei.
The other man in the shop was not around, only Chen Aqing was still busy in the shop.
Looking at Wei Ruo, Chen Aqing's eyes exuded excitement, but upon seeing the strange man by Wei Ruo's side, he quickly returned to normal.
"It's okay, this guy's an exception. He was my second brother and the only one in my family who could talk to me. He was trustworthy," Wei Ruo explained to Chen Aqing.
As Wei Ruo explained, he was unaware of the change in Wei Jinyi's eyes behind him.
The only thing, heart to heart, this was his confession to her.
"Ah Qing, didn't I send you the letter yesterday? If the snow is too thick, we don't need to open today. Didn't you get the letter?" Wei Ruo.
"I accept it. Don't worry, miss. I only made a little today. Sometimes, one or two people would come to buy it. It should have sold out in the evening," Chen Aqing explained to Wei Ruo.
"That's not what I meant. It's a very cold day, and there are no guests, and the New Year is imminent, so you can take this opportunity to rest for two days," Wei Ruo said.
Working in his shop, there were basically no holidays.
Chen Aqing shook his head: "Miss, let me stay here the entire time. They say that the Lunar New Year is the right time to do business. And I have nowhere to go. If I don't open the store, I have nothing else to do."
Old man Chen Aqing He was still alive, but there was no home for him to return to.
If he came back, his parents would probably take back all the money he earned, and perhaps a beating would be inevitable.
"Well, however, if you're tired, you can take a two-day break. It's Lunar New Year, and I, the boss, don't want to be accused of oppressing employees," Wei Ruo laughed.
"Miss, don't worry, I won't do it" Chen Aqing replied.
After explaining briefly to Chen Aqing, Wei Ruo came to Sibaozhai next door.
The door opened slightly, Wei Ruo easily opened it and entered.
"Miss is here to find our boss?"
Since Wei Ruo had come to look for someone more than once, so even though the shop assistant did not know exactly the relationship between him and Sibaozhai, they recognized him.
Wei Ruo asked: "Is the head of your house here?"
"The head of the house is in the backyard." The man replied.
Wei Ruo directly passed through the shop and went to the small courtyard in the back.
In the backyard, Xu Zhushan was busy cutting firewood.
Snow fell, and snow piled on the firewood piled up in the courtyard, Xu Zhushan was sorting it out, cutting it and moving it to a hut for storage.
Some time ago, he had helped Wei Ruo with Zhuangzi affairs, and Xu Zhushan had never had the opportunity to do these tasks at home, she could not get out today, he said, so he did these tasks.
"Uncle Xu."
"Miss!" Looking at Wei Ruo, Xu Zhushan quickly put down her work, "Miss, today is very cold, and the road is covered in snow, why did you come here?" "Not far
, By the way, I'll come to take a look around and pick up something." Wei Ruo replied.
The nanny who heard the voice also came out of the house, looking at Wei Ruo, the nanny's face was full of excitement.
"Miss, hurry inside, outside it's cold, don't freeze." The nanny hurriedly pulled Wei Ruo into the room.
Only after he stepped forward did he realize that Wei Ruo was followed by two people he had never seen before.
The babysitter was surprised.
"This is my second brother," Wei Ruo replied.
The nurse did not know how to greet Wei Jinyi.
Wei Jin also said: "You can say what you want, don't worry about me."
To avoid further embarrassment, Wei Ruo said to the nurse: "Nurse, I came here today to get the silver bone charcoal from you. Let's go, let's go,
I don't want to stay long." Can transport too much at once." The nurse said a little annoyed.
Hearing the conversation between Wei Ruo and his nanny, Xiaobei looked surprised.
The price of this silver bone charcoal is very expensive, let alone the weather these days makes good charcoal like silver bone charcoal very difficult to buy.
But how do you hear the tone of the oldest woman's speech with her nanny, as if there were a lot of silver bone charcoal in the house, and you could take out a big wagon casually?
"It's okay, this time I won't take too much, just take two bags."
"Are the two bags too small? It's been cold for the past two days, the charcoal fire should not be turned off in the young lady's room, otherwise it's easy to catch a cold" the nanny said.
"Two bags are enough for a few days, just go back to pick it up when it's up," Wei Ruo replied.
"Alright then, I will ask Lao Xu to send it to Miss," the nanny said.
"No, just two bags, we can pick them up ourselves, don't disturb Uncle Xu," Wei Ruo said.
Xiumei followed him and said, "I brought the two bags back alone."
Hearing this, Xiaobei hurriedly said, "Miss Xiumei, this kind of work should not be done by yourself, let me do it." "
Stop arguing with me. You look skinny like a monkey. Take care and walk. The road is slippery in snowy weather and you fall easily" Xiumei said.
Hearing this, Xiao Bei was displeased: "Miss Xiumei, you are not afraid of falling as a girl, what am I afraid of as a man? No, I have to do this kind of heavy work." Wei Ruo is not
can take it longer: "Stop arguing, the babysitter has a little wagon here, just push it."
Although these carriages could not leave, the small carts could still be pushed, be careful not to let the carts come apart when pushing.
“Yes, yes, there is a small cart, so I can push it back to save energy,” the nanny said in a hurry.
