Chapter 31

Zhao mother took a sip of tea, murmured, “You said before, that kid has a courtyard house?”

“We’re living in that quadrangle now, it’s his house” Lin Minjun nodded

Suddenly with a turn of the brain, she realized, “You mean, these people are interested in this house, and don’t want to pay the rent, right?”

Thinking about it, it’s quite possible, yesterday when they had a fight, an older woman mentioned that she didn’t want to pay the rent anymore

“Minjun, you’re still young, you might not understand, according to you, it’s the power supply bureau’s staff dormitory, so the rent should be paid by the power supply bureau, they didn’t have to pay the rent in the first place” Zhao mother lost her smile and shook her head

“Then why? You’re fine with everyone, but you just can’t let go of Erwa” Lin Minjun couldn’t figure this out all night

“Having a large courtyard, their family should not have been ordinary people before liberation”

Lin Minjun nodded, “His mom was a big lady, that courtyard was originally the lady’s study”

Zhao mother suddenly hooked up the corners of her mouth, smiling in a particularly ironic way, shaking her head the whole time

Lin Minjun was confused, since it is not for rent, then what is it for, there must be a reason ah

“Since it is a big lady, the hands stored in the treasure is certainly a lot, those things are really valuable things, according to you, this child is now a meat and potatoes, a lot of people stare at it” Zhao mother said meaningfully

But in the end is a terminal cancer patient, Zhao mother sat for a while on the energy can not, constantly in the yawn

Lin Minjun had wanted to chat with Zhao’s mother for a while longer, but seeing that she was really sleepy, she hurriedly got up to say goodbye, “Auntie, take a good rest, I’ll come back to see you later”

“Yeah, if you’re busy you don’t have to come over specially, don’t treat me like a serious patient, just think of it as me going somewhere else to play, okay? I’m happy to see you kids doing well” Zhao mother added with half-squinted eyes

Helping Zhao mother onto the bed, tucking her in and closing the door behind her, Lin Minjun moved gently and went out from Zhao’s house, all the way out of the large compound and back to her own home

As she walked down the road, Lin Minjun was thinking back to the topic she had just chatted with Zhao’s mother

She recalled what Erwa said last night, the east room is placed in the family’s former things, since Erwa’s mother used to be a big lady in Beiping City, it is estimated that there are quite a lot of household goods, no jewelry, furniture is also good, but also can be exchanged for money

Fear not, a big master family staring is these things, right? Anyway, the house and they can not take, the street office will not let them rob the second child’s house, then only the old furniture left before, or antique jewelry

Then their family can really have a black conscience, a ten year old child, parents are dead, left a little relics for the child, these people are eager to rob over

Thinking about this, Lin Minjun’s doubts were solved

Then this time the thing is estimated to be not a whim, afraid of a moncler outlet store family has long been staring at the things in the east room, taking advantage of the loss of bacon to play on the subject

Lin Minjun guessed that they did this because they wanted to stink Erwa’s reputation, and then through some means to get his things

This can not be, since the second child as her sister, she can not stand by and watch this kind of thing happen, this thing must first let the second child know, raise vigilance

In order to prepare in advance, to win this property defense war!

This is not, the next day is Saturday, school vacation, early in the morning Lin Minjun rode on a tricycle to go to the vegetable market

Recently, the suburbs of the potatoes have let her turn all over, near the better potatoes have been sold, want to buy cheap and good, but also have to go farther away, Lin Minjun simply in the vegetable market to find a sell vegetables boss, talked about, every day she came to pick up the goods, every day to settle the cash, but it must be fresh and not sprouted potatoes, the price is a little bit more expensive than the previous to go to the suburbs to buy

The good thing is that because it is wholesale, it is not expensive

But today, when she arrived in front of the stall where she took the goods, Lin Minjun saw a good thing

“Boss, is this for sale?”

The stall owner was busy picking out potatoes for Lin Minjun and glanced at it, “This is a dish only found in the southwest, it’s not cheap”

“I know, how much?”

The stall owner quoted a price that is not cheap, Lin Minjun thought about it and asked for it, recently she planned to put new flavors on the stall, she just didn’t have any ideas, this is not dozing off and sending a pillow

Loaded with yams home, to find Erwa sitting at the door

“What are you doing here? It’s not time to eat” Lin Minjun got off the tricycle and wiped the sweat

Erwa got up to help unload, “I’ll help you peel the potatoes and wash the vegetables”

Lin Minjun did not dare to let him take a knife, gave a wooden chopstick, let him scrape little by little, the young man can do it neatly, brush brush brush, a few potatoes let him scrape finished

“I didn’t think so, you do things quite meticulous, come, help me wash this dish, take off the dirty whiskers on it, and then put it in the water to wash on the line”

When Erwa took over the vegetables he just bought and washed them in the water, Lin Minjun obediently told him what she had thought of before

“You pay attention to the First Master’s family in the future, I feel as if they’re staring at your things, just the ones in the east room” Lin Minjun lowered her voice and said, “I’m afraid ah, they’re just trying to stink up your reputation this time”

“I already knew that” The corner of Erwa’s lips hooked

However, he was particularly confident and added, “They can’t take it, even if I go out to school in the future and am not in this courtyard, they can’t take the things”

It sounds like this waif is hiding the really valuable things?

Since he was so confident, Lin Minjun didn’t say anything

After washing the dishes, she saw Erwa looking at the new dishes she bought back today with a curious face

“Do you know what this is?” Lin Minjun asked with a smile

Erwa shook his head, “What is it?”

Lin Minjun: “It’s a vegetable that can also be used as an ingredient, it’s popular in our hometown, why don’t I use this to make a serving of fried yams for you to try?”

Said dry, start the frying pan, just soak the taro fish out into the frying pan, these things Lin Minjun has done a light and familiar, not long after a different flavor of the fried taro on the make out

Erwa tasted a mouthful, suddenly bitter face, to spit or not, was Lin Minjun a hand cover the mouth, “Do not spit!”

So Ewa chewed it and swallowed it, his face wrinkled, sticking out his tongue, “It’s not good, a fishy odor”

“Hahahahahaha” Lin Minjun had a face of joyful and honest look of a successful prank, laughing, “This is fishy grass, also known as folded ear root, it is my hometown flavor, I am planning to put a new this kind of flavor on the stall tomorrow, what do you think?”

“No wonder it’s called Fishy Grass, it’s really a fishy flavor” Erwa hurriedly pooh-poohed and spat out his tongue, taking the bowl of water handed over by Lin Minjun, his face full of skepticism

Hearing again that this flavor was going to be new on the stall, the little boy was shocked, “This flavor, does anyone really love it?”

“How to say, those who love it love it very much, those who don’t, just like you, will have to pooh-pooh and spit it out when they take a bite, how about it, that flavor just now kinda choked your mouth, right?” Lin Minjun said with a smile

Erwa had never been out of the North City in his life, and really didn’t believe that anyone would love this flavor, and after thinking about it, he said, “Sister, I’ll accompany you to the stall in the afternoon”

He is going to see if this can be sold or not

The result is not what Erwa expected, this day stall really only sold out a copy of the addition of folded ear root, everyone is not used to eating this flavor

Good thing to buy is not much, the rest Lin Minjun intends to keep the evening cold, to add their own dishes, leaving Yunnan that does not belong to their own home, in addition to feeling relieved, is to miss the taste of this mouth of the hometown

“Comrade, I’m planning to go into Xiu Shui East Street for a stroll, I’ll buy a bowl of fried yam, can you lend me this bowl to carry it in and eat it while walking?” There was a lesbian in front of the stall, was staring blearily, looking like she had the intention to consume, but was hesitating

“This ” Lin Minjun, after all, for the first time in two lifetimes, or the first time she had stumbled upon such a situation, and for a while she hesitated a little

Stall business, she bought a lot of porcelain bowls, but this bowl also has to be quite a lot of money it, in case someone borrowed not to return it will be a loss, from this end into the Xiu Shui East Street, in addition, there is also an exit can be quietly out

The lesbian quickly said, “I am a formal employee, working in the rolling mill, will not borrow not return”

Lin Minjun: “I’m not worried about you, you are not the kind of person at a glance, but the stalls have not opened this kind of example”

At this time in the side to the potato peeling Erwa came over, “Sister, you and others to point deposit on the line, a bowl to collect a little deposit, get back when the deposit back”

Originally, the lesbian was ready to leave with regret, but when she heard that she wanted to charge a deposit, she agreed, and the business was done

Lin Minjun touched Erwa’s head, “Why do I often feel that your brain is turning faster than mine?”

“Yes, I don’t even do arithmetic homework at school now, but I’m number one in the class every time I take a test, and my classmates can’t beat me” Erwa had someone to back him up, and his childish temper came out, smiling smugly

“Good ah, set me up, I don’t need your help here, quickly go back and do your homework!” Lin Minjun said in a stern manner

Taro has been sold almost, the day is still early, Lin Minjun hurry, let Erwa go back to study

The rest of the taro but more than an hour to sell out, she rode a tricycle back to the hutong, just into the house has not been cleaned up to hear the next door of the sister-in-law Xu’s house uproar, that is a fierce

“Why don’t you let me go out, I want to go out, today’s Saturday and no class!” This is Mrs Xu’s fifteen-year-old daughter, Ding Ling, yelling

Xu’s wife was also angry, “Why don’t I let you go out, you are a student, now you should do what students should do, it’s almost dark, you go out to do what? I just ask you, now go out where to go?”

“Don’t you care about me, I don’t want to stay at home anyway” Ding Ling said

“Do you think I don’t know what you did outside? It’s all over the place! If you don’t want to stay home, you don’t want to see me, so who do you want to see?” Sister-in-law Xu was so angry that her voice was shaking

Ding Ling was silent for a while, “Anyway, I don’t want to stay here! I don’t want to stay in this courtyard, it’s hard for me to stay here!”

“You stop right there” Sister-in-law Xu closed the door with a clang and locked it, “You want to go out at night, the world is in chaos outside, if I don’t stop you, I’m not your mother”

Listening to the sound, this mother and daughter one in the room, one standing outside, still in your sentence I sentence quarrel it

Lin Minjun heard the commotion did not go out, really do not know what to do, Ding Ling fifteen years old, with the words of the latter days has entered the adolescent rebellious period, this time who persuade the words can not be listened to

The last time Xia Auntie came to help persuade, to Ling Ling disliked back, a long time did not go to the Xu family

Waiting for the big battle next door to end, Lin Minjun only went out of the room door, intending to call Erwa over for dinner

This time she went over and felt strange, the concierge hung a lock, according to reason this time is already ready to eat dinner, Erwa is not at home

Where is he going? Where could he go?
