Republic of China small businessman

After the epidemic, the provincial government gradually recovered.

Everyone in the East Hospital came back one after another, still performing their duties.

It's just that not long after Manager Sun Fu came back, he quietly called Xie Jing aside, and asked sideways, "While I was away, the master's room...has someone taken in?"

Xie Jing's face was hot, and she didn't know how to answer when she stood there, so she could only bite the bullet and nodded, "Yes."

Steward Sun Fu frowned and said, "A very powerful person?"

Xie Jing was stunned for a moment: "Why do you see that?"

Steward Sun Fu sighed, and said: "As soon as I entered the study, I smelled a huge smell of rouge powder. You are young, but the scent of gardenia flowers will last for several days. This is not blatant. Tell us these people are here? I wanted to ask in advance, but after asking around, the few little bastards who stayed in the courtyard ran faster and faster, and finally caught one. I just opened my mouth without asking two He shook his head like a rattle, and refused to say a single word! If you ask any more, I will push them all to your side. I don’t know them yet, so I will ask you everything because of your honesty.” Steward Sun Fu put his hands in his hands and looked worried, "Xiao Xie, this new mistress is very skilled, and she acts so perversely, it is probably due to the favor of the master. This is the first time that our master has someone by his side. I don't know what kind of storms will arise in the east courtyard."

Xie Jing blushed and said in a low voice: "There is nothing wrong with it, I think it's fine now."

Steward Sun Fu patted him on the shoulder, lamenting that the young man had little experience, and he didn't make it difficult for him, so he let Xie Jing go without asking more questions.

Now that he has returned to the East courtyard, he can always meet the new mistress.

Why bother for Xie Jing, an honest boy.

When Xie Jing turned around, Steward Sun Fu's nose twitched. For some reason, he seemed to smell the gardenia. People are all dyed with incense, which shows how often they come!

In the evening, Master Jiu left Xie Jing for dinner.

This is also normal, Xie Jing grew up with Master Jiu, who treats him differently from others, and always loves him very much.

Manager Sun Fu came over with the dishes and put them on the table for Master Jiu himself. He was stunned when he raised his head after putting them away. He felt dazzled, why did he see Master Jiu feeding Xie Jing.

Master Jiu raised his chopsticks and fed it to Xie Jing's mouth, and said softly, "Let go."

Xie Jing was already stiff and didn't know what to do, she bit the chopsticks for a long time before letting go.

Master Jiu put some green vegetables in his bowl, and said, "If you're picky eaters again, I'll feed you a whole plate of vegetables like this, do you hear me?"

Xie Jing nodded, her ears were red, she lowered her head to hold the bowl and kept eating, not daring to raise her head.

Master Jiu looked at Steward Sun Fu again, and asked, "Why are you serving the food?"

Steward Sun Fu hadn't fully recovered from the shock, but his body reacted faster than his consciousness, turned around and said respectfully: "Serving the Lord is what should be done, and besides, that's what I did before, now that there are so many things to do, I don't have time to spend more Take care of me by my father's side."

Jiu Ye said: "You have a different status now, so you don't have to do these things."

Steward Sun Fu agreed, but he still stood aside and poured soup for Master Jiu, and a bowl for Xie Jing by the way, and took a peek at Xie Jing.

Xie Jing bowed her head in thanks, took the bowl and drank half a bowl of soup in one go.

Master Jiu ate a few chopsticks of steamed fish slowly, took a chopstick of the most tender meat from the belly of the fish, soaked it in the soup slightly, "Jing'er eats this, it tastes good to me."

Xie Jing took the bowl over, but Master Jiu didn't intend to put it down, Xie Jing hesitated a little, and leaned over to open his mouth to eat.

Steward Sun Fu's heart was full of turmoil, his face could not hold back anymore, his eyes widened, he looked at the fish, then at Xie Jing—he didn't dare to look at Master Jiu, but the plate of steamed fish in front of Master Jiu was indeed missing a lot A piece of fish maw, this, is this hand fed to Xiao Xie?

Master Jiu looked at Sun Fu and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Steward Sun Fu let out an "ah". He originally wanted to serve the dishes and take a look at the mistress, but now people have seen it, but he didn't dare to say a word. good.After hesitating for a long while, I finally thought of something else to say: "Before, my store was not strictly guarded, and the accountant was greedy for money. It turned out that I didn't supervise well, so I came to accuse my father..."

Jiu Ye said: "I have asked Jing'er to go to the shop to check the accounts again, and the reported surplus is also sufficient. This is probably why that person became greedy. Let's forget about the past, this is just one example, and we must be more careful in the future." some."

Manager Sun Fu kept saying yes.

When he came out from Master Jiu, Steward Sun Fu's footsteps were superficial, and he walked in the yard for a long time before he suddenly came to his senses.

Steward Sun suddenly felt that it was okay to keep Xiao Xie by his side.

These are all from their own people in the East Hospital, and they can still speak for themselves at critical moments!

Xie Jing was nervous during dinner and accidentally ate too much.

Lying on the bed at night, Master Jiu rubbed his stomach.

Master Jiu's hands were slightly cold, but after being on Xie Jing's lower abdomen for a long time, his palms became hot, and he rubbed them gently for him, and said with a smile: "I told you not to keep your head down to pick up rice, you don't Listen, it’s better now. If you still feel uncomfortable for a while, I’ll ask the doctor to come over and get you some medicine for digestion, and boil it in water to drink.”

Xie Jing looked at the lowered curtain, the heat on his face remained, and he didn't say a word.

Master Jiu asked him: "Are you angry with Master?"

Xie Jing lowered her eyes and whispered: "No."

Master Jiu raised his hand slightly, Xie Jing subconsciously held his hand and raised his eyes to look at him.

Master Jiu touched his chest, the gold chain was still there, but the pearl was gone, "Where's the night pearl my aunt gave you?"

Xie Jing said honestly: "It's too precious, I'm afraid I'll accidentally lose it when I wear it around my neck, so I put it in the kit." As he spoke, he took out a kit under the pillow, opened it for Master Jiu to see, the The luminous pearl had been in the sun for a short while during the day, and now it exuded water-colored light, almost translucent, illuminating the entire curtain in a jewel-like manner.

Master Jiu glanced at it, and casually threw it beside the pillow.

Just as Xie Jing wanted to look for him, Master Jiu hugged him, bit his ear, and heard the other party's hoarse voice: "Why don't you do something else to make you more comfortable."

Xie Jing wanted to hide: "Beads, put them away..."

"No charge, that's just fine."

Xie Jing moved all night, at first she was comfortable, but then she couldn't bear it anymore.

The last thing he thought about was that from tomorrow onwards, the small kitchen could no longer be used to make tonic soup, even if it was stewed, it would be enough for him to drink it himself.

Master Jiu is kind to Xie Jing, and he doesn't shy away from everyone in the east courtyard.

Xie Jing was still a little nervous at the beginning. In the past, the most opposed person in the east courtyard was Steward Sun Fu. Every time he sneaked away, this person was both happy and sad. He was happy that he finally left, and the sad thing was Jiu Ye’s qi disease. Injury.Several times, Manager Sun Fu was ordered to arrest him and bring him back. On the way, he had a mournful face, unable to accept the fact that he was going back.

But this time it seems something is different.

Manager Sun Fu treated him as usual, Xie Jing was a little stuttering when he saw him, but Sun Fuguan comforted him beforehand and said: "You don't have to stress too much, it is your blessing that the Lord treats you well, you I will understand later that there is really no one better than him in this world. Xiao Xie, I don’t ask for anything else. You are different from us. Since you are by your side, please take care of us more. I thank you here It's gone." He said, bowing to Xie Jing.

He was old enough to be Xie Jing's father, Xie Jing hurriedly avoided, not knowing what to say for a moment, and bowed back to him.

Steward Sun Fu was amused by him.

One of Xie Jing's most frequented places in the East Yard is Master Jiu's study, and the other is the stable.

Shang Yulou used up half of the box of gardenia ointment that Shang Yulou gave him before, and Xie Jing used it to cover up the smell afterwards, but he did not expect that the fragrance of the flower would be more obvious, especially after being questioned by Manager Sun Fu a while ago, He didn't dare to use it any more, consciously or unintentionally avoiding it and refusing to stay in the study.

Lord Jiu doesn't stick to him during the day, unless he has something to do to take him out, the rest of the time is free to let Xie Jing go out to play, whether it's hunting with the guards on the mountain, or going back to the small restaurant to accompany Kou Whether it is grandma or not, they all agree, except for one thing, they have to go back home every night.If it is dark and no one can be seen, there will be someone waiting at the door. If it is later, they will carry a lantern to look around, and when they find it, they will not talk much, just turn on the light to illuminate the way, and accompany them back.

After several times like this, Xie Jing ran to the east courtyard after dark and never went out again.

On this day, Xie Jing went back to the small restaurant to see Grandma Kou.

He rode back on Bai Shisi. He also caught several hares and pheasants on his horse, rubbed straw with straw, tied them with ropes, and brought them back.

Li Yuan came up to lead the horse for him, and seeing so many prey, he said with a smile: "After hunting so many, you went up the mountain with Uncle Zhang?"

Xie Jing got off the horse, loosened the grass rope and said, "Well, I went for a run, where is grandma?"

Li Yuandao: "It's in the house. Doctor Lin and the others are here today, knowing that they are talking to grandma inside." He took the prey from Xie Jing's hand, and said: "This rabbit is so fat, but it's a pity that it was beaten with skin. It's rotten, otherwise I can make a scarf for grandma. Let's treat guests at noon today, how about stewed hare?"

Xie Jing nodded in agreement, and fed Bai Shishi with a basin of well water in the courtyard.

The white horse struggled slightly to break free from Li Yuan's hands, and followed Xie Jing without pulling it, its snow-white tail swung left and right.

Knowing that it recognized its owner, Li Yuan took those prey to work in the kitchen and left the yard to them.

In the main room, Dr. Lin offered a thank you gift and was thanking Grandma Kou.

During the epidemic, he has been busy saving people, unable to take care of the two daughters at home. Thanks to Grandma Kou who left the two little sisters behind, the Lin family has come here to visit the old lady, and is sincerely grateful to her.

The two younger sisters of the Lin family are girls in their teens now. They look delicate and pretty, and they are like buds waiting to bloom, which is very lovable.They were wearing girls' school uniforms, blue improved cheongsam jackets and pleated skirts, and two braids on the left and right. They spoke crisply and sweetly, and they made Grandma Kou laugh out loud in just a few words.

"Grandma, these are the networks we made ourselves, as you taught us last time, here, please check and see, is this homework passed?"

"Silly girl, I'm not the teacher of your school. What kind of homework is this? It's just a little thing to teach you when you have nothing to do."

"It's the same, the teacher who taught us literacy in school, and grandma is the teacher of our life."

"Oh, I can't be called Mr...."

Xie Jing pushed the door open and came in, just in time to hear their voices of talking and laughing, and said hello to Dr. Lin first, Dr. Lin stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Xie, this time is really thanks to you, those medical alcohols—"

Xie Jing turned away and said: "Everything is the meaning of the ninth master. I just follow the orders, and it is also the wishes of the members of the chamber of commerce. As long as they can help, the big guys will feel at ease. Doctor Lin doesn't need to be polite."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the courtyard door outside.

Grandma Kou said: "This is really rare, Jing'er, go and see, who is here again?"

Xie Jing got up and went out, opened the courtyard door, and there was an eighteen or nine-year-old young man standing outside, wearing a half-worn and clean robe, looking refreshing, smiling with a bag of snacks in his hand Looking at him, he cupped his hands and said, "Xiao Xie, long time no see."

Xie Jing looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "Fang Jiwu?"

Fang Jiwu nodded and said with a smile, "Farewell to Heihe, long time no see."

Xie Jing still remembered him. A few years ago, there were several good students in the Bai Family School. Apart from Wang Jingqiu, who had the top grades, he was most impressed by this Fang Jiwu, who was down-to-earth, hardworking, and thoughtful.

Fang Jiwu said: "I came to see you once last year, but unfortunately you were not there at that time. I wanted to leave the money to grandma, but she refused to accept anything, saying that she had never seen the IOU, and it would not be too late when you came back. A while ago, Dr. Lin and I have been busy in the epidemic area and have no time to come here, so I came to see you just after work."

Xie Jing said: "What money?"

Fang Jiwu laughed: "I knew you forgot, when I was in Heihe, I asked you to borrow twenty silver dollars." He took out a cloth bag from his arms, handed it to Xie Jing and said gently, "Now the money is all saved , I will return the full amount, and I would like to thank you for the life-saving money back then, which allowed me and my family to tide over the difficulties."
