Chapter 105: Welcome (1)

"Is Liu Yue at home?"

A middle-aged aunt wearing a big green cotton jacket and a winter melon-shaped figure stood outside the yard gate, standing on tiptoe and shouting inside.

"It's Aunt Ge who is here."

The woman in the room, Liu Yue, heard the shout, quickly stuffed half of the bun in her hand to her daughter, signaling her to eat it, then walked out quickly and opened the yard gate, "Auntie Ge, why did you come here so early today? I have washed all the clothes, and some of them may not have been dried yet."

"It's not hindering, it's not hindering, hehe~"

Aunt Ge held Liu Yue's hand affectionately, smiling like an old hen, which was very different from her sarcastic image.

"Girl, I'm not here to get clothes. Now, this is the salary I'm giving you. See if it's right."

Looking at the small gray cloth bag in his hand, Liu Yue widened her almond eyes and felt a little unbelievable. She came here early in the morning to pay the wages? Is this still Aunt Ge whom she knew?

In the past, I never came to my house and said good-heartedly that I helped her do housework for a long time before I could get the money. And I didn’t give enough money every time, so I always found some reasons to deduct some.

After weighing the small wallet in his hand, he didn't need to count it. The weight alone was twice as heavy as before. Liu Yue opened it and saw that it was full of copper coins, and there were no stones or anything else.

"Auntie Ge, have you given too much? I'm afraid this is more than—"

Aunt Ge's face froze slightly, and she smiled dryly: "Hehe, girl, you are so honest. Just collect this money for you. How can you think there is too much money?"

"But, suddenly there must be a reason for having so much more money, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

"Oh, my good girl, tell you the truth, you are attracted to the nobles!"

Hearing this, Liu Yue was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back, with her eyes full of vigilance.

"Don't panic first, listen to me and finish it. Do you know the Chen family in the town? That's the richest family in our town. The clothes you washed for you were taken from the Chen family. A few days ago, the housekeeper of the Chen family found me and said that the clothes you washed were very clean and fragrant. The old lady of the Chen family liked them very much. She specially raised your wages. You can take the money with peace of mind."

Liu Yue only believed this 30% of the time. What kind of person is Aunt Ge? She has been dealing with her for so many years, but she still doesn't understand it? Even if her salary really increases, with her personality, she will never tell herself, but secretly embezzle it. It's so abnormal. I always feel like something is going to happen.

"Girl, the aunt has something to do, so let's go first. If you don't have to send the clothes in person, you will naturally have someone to take them."

After Aunt Ge said that, she twisted the bucket waist and left.

"Auntie Ge, go slowly."

After seeing Aunt Ge's back disappearing into the alley, Liu Yue looked down at the purse, which contained at least 100 cents, saving enough for them to live for a while.

Although I don’t know what Aunt Ge is doing, Liu Yue raised her eyebrows and felt much more happy after having money. She hummed the song and returned to the house and said to her daughter: “Daya, let’s go out to buy some flour, and my mother will give you some food at noon.”

"That's great, eat noodles~"

The little girl was overjoyed.

The mother and daughter went out together, first bought half a bag of flour, then some salt and oil. The 100 cents left after the first obtained, only 11 cents were left. This made Liu Yue feel a little painful and he had to sigh that the money was really spent.

When they got home, the two of them boiled water and dough, then rolled the dough into thin dough, then cut it into strips with a knife and sprinkled with flour so that the noodles would not stick together, and finally put it in the pot and add salt and oil.

Not long after, the hot noodles were cooked.

Just as the two were about to start eating, the courtyard door outside was pushed open with a creaking sound.

I saw a man and a woman walking in from outside, and it looked like she had entered her own door.

The man was a thin farmer with patches on his clothes, a dark face, and a pair of small eyes circling around. He looked like a shrewd master.

The woman is a woman who looks about thirty years old, with a big round face, narrow nostrils, high and protruding forehead, wearing a dark red jacket, and a hairpin is inserted on her coiled hair.

Although her skin is rough and her figure is out of shape, she is much younger than the men around her.

After the two of them entered the door, they saw the situation inside the kitchen and smiled suddenly.

"Oh, it's better to come sooner than you do, Da Ya, why are you standing there? Hurry up and serve your uncle and uncle a bowl."

The woman said with a sharp voice.

Seeing the uninvited two people, Liu Yue's face froze slightly, then she brought out two bowls of served noodles, and a smile appeared on her face, "Why are the eldest brother and sister-in-law here so much today?"

"Look at what you said, can't you come if you don't have time?"

The woman said, unable to wait to reach out and take two bowls of noodles with both hands, push one of them to the man beside her, then pick up the chopsticks and eat it on her own.

"Haha, I've had a good time today. I haven't tasted the noodles from my younger brother and sister in a long time."

The man looked at Liu Yue with his small eyes for a while, and felt that although his younger brother and sister were much thinner than before, they were still so beautiful. Compared with that, his wife was much worse.

"What are you looking at? Flowers are growing on your face? If you don't eat it, I will eat it!"

The woman next to her shaved a fierce look, picked up the bowl in front of her, and picked up all the noodles inside into her own bowl.

"Hey, what are you doing? Who said I won't eat it?"

Seeing this, the man hurriedly grabbed the bowl, but there was only some soup left in it. He glanced at the woman beside him. He hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and handed the bowl to Liu Yue, "Do you have any brother and sister?"

Liu Yue had no choice but to serve the man a bowl again. At this time, less than a bowl of noodles were left in the pot.

Seeing this scene, the little girl pouted and looked unhappy.

"Don't quit, eat quickly."

Liu Yue gently tapped her daughter's forehead and fed all the remaining half of the bowl of noodles to her daughter.

"Mom, I have a small belly and can't eat that much, so you can eat too."

The girl said as she picked up the noodles with chopsticks and sent them to her mother's mouth.

"Well, Da Ya is so sensible."

Liu Yue opened her mouth and ate the noodles, her eyes turned slightly red, and the mother and I started to eat one bite at a time.

"Sigh-I'm full."

The woman drank the last bit of soup in the bowl, touched her belly with satisfaction, then turned to look at Liu Yue who was washing the pot and said, "My brother and sister, we are here today, there is actually something good to look for you."

As she said that, she suddenly kicked the man beside her.

The man poured the noodles from the bowl into his mouth, wiped his face, and nodded, "Yes, it's a good thing. If you agree, you and your mother will not have to worry about the rest of your life."
