Nine Zero, the cannon fodder wife of the paranoid boss is reborn
Chapter Twenty-Seven
When Xiao Wei thought that Xiao Cheng would be like before, not coming home every three days, Xiao Cheng went home every day and ate three meals a day.
Compared to Bai Lu's anger in frying chili peppers, Xiao Wei felt that Xiao Cheng's anger was more terrifying and made him almost breathless.
When I came back from school the next afternoon, I finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran to the kitchen without doing my homework.
"Did you and my brother quarrel again?" the little guy asked straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.
"No." Bai Lu looked calm.
Holding a kitchen knife in his hand, he chopped the chili pepper hard. The red chili pepper broke into pieces with a sound.
Xiao Cheng was still building a house next door, and the sound of chopping in the empty kitchen was particularly loud.
The corner of Xiao Wei's mouth twitched slightly. The chopping sound not only echoed through the yard, but could also be heard next door...
Thinking of what Bai Lu told him last night, she asked, "My brother won't let you sell chestnuts?"
Bai Lu paused with the kitchen knife in her hand, and her angry face was replaced by shock: "How do you know?"
Xiao Wei rolled his eyes at her, "You never went out before, but as soon as you went out you would take the money my brother gave you and give it to Li Shuixian. Don't you know what my brother's reputation is in this area? What do you want to do with giving money to Li Shuixian?"
, I don’t know, but do you think my brother doesn’t know?”
He is only seven years old, but he has eyes and a brain.
If Bai Lu did this, what else could he do besides running away?
Now that she wants to sell sugar-roasted chestnuts, you don't have to think twice to know that she must be trying to save money and run away again.
Running away is the next best thing. If Bai Lu is like the woman on West Street said by her neighbor Sister-in-law Zhang, she ruthlessly destroys her child just to be with the big boss in Nanshi...
What Xiao Wei can think of, Xiao Cheng can't think of?
Bai Lu, who finally understood everything, looked helpless and sad, and it was her stomach that was to blame.
"But I said the money from the sale should go to him..." Bai Lu sighed, isn't this not honest enough?
She still wanted to return it to him, but it turned out that what he wanted and what she wanted were completely different.
Directly veto her proposal and sentence her to death.
Xiao Wei didn't understand Xiao Cheng's thoughts either, but what Bai Lu had done during the two months he had lived there had already been deeply ingrained in his mind, and it couldn't be easily reversed with just a few days' changes.
"Then maybe you didn't explain it clearly."
"How else to explain?"
Bai Lu looked troubled: "This is already the most correct and reasonable explanation."
Xiao Wei scratched his head. He didn't understand what adults were thinking, so he should go back to his room and do his homework.
Just as I turned around, there was a dinging sound coming from outside.
"The old man selling maltose is here."
The long and profound melody was not only fresh in Xiao Wei's memory, but Bai Lu was also brought into his memory.
Outside the quiet and peaceful family compound, there will always be some beautiful and melodious sounds. Once they sound, they can attract everyone's attention, whether adults or children.
She would always jump outside the hospital to buy her favorite candies, held by her parents or grandparents.
--maltose.
Xiao Wei looked confused and was led out by Bai Lu.
He just said, "The old man selling maltose is here," and his little hand was held by a warm and soft big hand.
He was even hesitating whether to let go of her hand, but she was already being led outside the door.
"Little girl, kid, do you want to buy maltose?"
The old man who sells maltose has gray hair and a short beard. He has an amiable voice and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are particularly friendly when he smiles. He is carrying a pole with round dustpans placed on top of two woven bamboo baskets.
In the dustpan, next to the large chunks of milky white maltose, there is a small iron cone and an iron spatula for breaking up the maltose. Maltose of different shapes and sizes are scattered around, and bursts of sweet and refreshing fragrance of malt float far away in the wind.
Bai Lu asked: "How much does it cost per pound?"
The old man said: "Two yuan and a pound."
Bai Lu asked the old man to help weigh a pound, and then happily paid for it, and Xiao Wei's hand was finally freed.
The different temperature in his palms lingered for a long time, leaving him in a daze as he stared blankly at Bai Lu buying candy.
The old man called him a name and handed him a small piece of maltose with a smile: "Children, try it. Grandpa's maltose is very sweet. Last night, there was a very handsome big brother riding a 28-year-old boy."
With a bicycle, you came all the way from your town to buy candies from me."
Grandpa lives in Qingshui Town next door, which is neither far nor close.
It takes more than two hours to walk.
After walking through this street, he had to go home, otherwise he would not be able to see the road clearly in the dark as the sun went down.
Bai Lu had already taken out the money from her pocket and was counting two and a half yuan, and then she made a move when she heard this.
The old man continued: "I remember that young man, he seemed to live nearby. I had never seen him buy maltose before when I came here. Last night, the sun went down and he suddenly came to buy it. I said that there was no maltose made at home.
It's very late today. I'll pick it up and sell it tomorrow when it's ready, but he refuses to do it and insists that I do it on the spot."
"Today's young people, in order to make the little girl happy, they really don't even understand us elders~"
The helpless laughter of the old man drifted farther and farther with the tinkling sound, and was blown away by the wind in waves of sweetness.
Bai Lu stuffed the maltose into Xiao Wei's hand, ran back to the room as fast as possible, and rummaged through the boxes and cabinets.
Finally, in the drawer where the detailed bills were kept, I found a large paper package made of old newspapers.
Take it out and put it on the table.
Slowly opening it along the crease, there were white flowers inside, and small candies of different shapes, scattered but neatly piled into a small mountain. There were more than what she had just bought.
Bai Lu picked up one and put it in her mouth.
Very sweet.
It was the same as the one that melted between the lips and teeth last night. Even after chewing it hard, it still turned into honey.
It turns out he bought more than two...
He didn’t have a bicycle at home, and he didn’t know who he borrowed it from, so he had to go so far away.
To be honest, Xiao Wei was still a little jealous, especially when he saw Bai Lu eating the maltose on the table with an endless aftertaste, happy and intoxicated expression.
That was the candy his elder brother bought!
It was his frosty elder brother who had never bought maltose for him or anyone else!
Xiao Wei suddenly felt that the pound of maltose in his hand no longer smelled good.
Miraculously, there was no chili pepper for dinner.
The food was extremely delicious. Everyone had two bowls of rice, and every dish and plate on the table was so bright that it reflected light.
The night is dark and the moon is out.
There was only the sound of washing clothes in the yard. Bai Lu thought about it for a long time and took a few furtive glances. Opposite her, she saw a man washing clothes with a cold and stern face and a silent expression.
Finally, I mustered up the courage.
"Knock knock knock——"
A knock on the door interrupted her a step faster.
Bai Lu gritted her teeth and stared at the door. If there was no urgent matter, let's see how she would repair the door!
"Brother Cheng."
Luo Shiliu's careless and bandit voice came: "The deadline is up."
