Chapter 51
Nie Xiangnan was angry and anxious, but she couldn't think of any solution for the time being, so she could only hold her breath and quietly return to the house.
She needs to calm down and think carefully about how to get married and get rid of this Director Zhu or Director Niu!
.
After watching Nie Xiangnan tiptoe into the house and waiting for another five minutes, Bi Chunliu and Bi Qiuguo quietly returned home.
Bi Qiuguo didn't dare to speak loudly after entering the house, for she was afraid that someone would listen to their house in the middle of the night.
Squeezing onto Bi Chunliu's bed, she whispered, "Sister, is Uncle Nie going to marry Sister Xiangnan to a man in his fifties?"
"Shh..." Bi Chunliu covered Qiu Guo's mouth. She thought that putting something under her window to block it was something she had to do immediately! "Don't tell anyone about this outside."
Nie Xiangnan is not someone who is easily fooled. If Nie Xuesong wants to control his daughter, it depends on whether he can do so.
Bi Qiuguo nodded. She didn't dare to tell anyone unless her elder sister said anything. Uncle Nie's voice sounded strange and scary today. The hairs on her arms stood up.
Bi Chunliu patted Qiuguo's back and coaxed her to sleep like when she was a child. After a while, Bi Qiuguo's breathing became long.
Nie Xuesong is as disgusting and vicious as ever... In his mind, except for himself, anyone can be used and is a stepping stone under his feet.
It seems that I have to be more careful about their family in the future.
.
Because of the banner, Bi Chunliu didn't have to go to work the next day, and she didn't get up specifically to cook for the three people who were going to school. She told them to cook for themselves, then covered herself with a thin blanket and went back to sleep.
Sometimes one just has to relax...
The clock outside chimed nine times. It was nine o'clock...
Bi Chunliu slowly woke up, stretched, and felt refreshed! It’s still good to be young, you can sleep more!
After washing up, Bi Chunliu carried the washbasin home and saw Grandma Zhang coming around the corner from the alley carrying something.
"Grandma Zhang, are you going for a walk again?"
"Yes, Chunliu girl, have you eaten yet?" Grandma Zhang asked, holding up the things in her hand. "Look, a friend of mine gave me some black brick tea, and the milk I ordered just happened to arrive. Would you like some salty milk tea?"
"Hello! Wait for me! I'll be right there!"
Bi Chunliu agreed readily. She had drunk salty milk tea when she traveled to Inner Mongolia before. She liked the taste very much. She wondered what Grandma Zhang’s tea was like.
After combing her hair and finishing a multi-grain steamed bun and an egg that Wei Guo had left for her in the pot, Bi Chunliu took the remaining egg cakes at home to Grandma Zhang's house.
"Grandma Zhang, I'm here! Can we have milk tea with egg cake?"
Grandma Zhang's room was not much different from the Bi family's. The same wooden table, the same wooden benches, and the cupboards and other cabinets were covered with stained fabrics of varying shades. It looked simple, but Bi Chunliu felt there was an indescribable elegance to it. She thought it might be the aesthetic taste of a lady from a noble family...
Grandma Zhang lit up the small stove at home, which had a small copper pot on top. "Why not? If you haven't eaten yet, you can just use some steamed bread!"
After a while, the milk tea was ready...
Bi Chunliu sniffed the aroma and took a sip. It was so fragrant! !
"Grandma, how did you order this milk? I want to order it too." Yesterday, she hugged Bi Qiuguo to sleep. While patting her asleep, she touched Qiuguo's back. She was really too thin! She looked okay, but when she touched her, she knew she was tiny! The three of them were still growing, so milk would be much better. She also needed some nourishment.
Grandma Zhang shook her head in disapproval. "Girl, don't blame me for being harsh. You really can't order this milk. There are too many people in our courtyard, and when there are too many people, people tend to talk too much. You four brothers and sisters don't have an adult to look after you, so you can't be bullied in our courtyard. But don't be too pushy, or you'll attract attention. If you want, I'll give you half. I'm ordering one kilogram now, and it'll be delivered every three days. If you want, I can order another kilogram and a half kilogram later, and it'll be delivered every three days. You can come and pick it up when no one is around."
this……
Bi Chunliu almost forgot that milk is still a luxury nowadays. Given her family's income, she really can't afford it for the time being... Well, it's better to eat something else...
"Grandma, thank you. My family still doesn't want to subscribe. I think I was sleepy. My family's savings can't support me to do so..." The seventies were still too difficult!
Grandma Zhang didn't try to dissuade her. "By the way, I saw a gay man walking you home the other day. Is that your boyfriend? Who introduced him to you?"
Bi Chunliu choked on the egg cake in his mouth, coughed twice, and drank a sip of salty milk tea. "Did you see? We just confirmed our relationship. It was introduced by the chairman of our union."
Hearing some noise outside, Bi Chunliu quickly stood up and stood by the window to look out.
"No need to look, it must be the girl from the Nie family." Grandma Zhang was calm.
It really was Nie Xiangnan. Bi Chunliu saw Nie Xiangnan look around the three rooms in the house and then go into her parents' room. What was he doing?
Bi Chunliu sat back down. "Grandma, you're amazing! It really is Xiangnan. Why isn't she in school? That's weird!"
Grandma Zhang took a sip of milk tea. "Her family has left, and I saw her come back." She snorted, "Who knows what she's going to do? It can't be good..."
Seeing Bi Chunliu looking at her in surprise, Grandma Zhang raised her eyebrows, "What? Was I wrong? Can doing something secretly be a good thing?"
Bi Chunliu shook her head. "You're right! Oh, by the way, Grandma, I want to buy some wooden boxes to grow vegetables like onions and garlic. Do you know where I can buy those? I don't want the best ones."
"A wooden box? I do know an old carpenter, and his son works in a furniture factory now. I'll tell you the place, and you can go ask him and tell him that Zhang Guihua asked you to find it." Grandma Zhang found a notebook from a box under the table and wrote down the address for Bi Chunliu.
Bi Chunliu took it and put it in his pocket, drank the milk tea in the cup, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said, "Grandma, I'm going to go now. I'll share some of the vegetables with you when they grow."
Grandma Zhang nodded and handed Bi Chunliu a handful of White Rabbit milk candies and a few pieces of peach cakes.
Bi Chunliu: "...Thank you, grandma."
Grandma Zhang is the good grandma who really treats herself as a child!
Bi Chunliu went home to put her things down and went to the address given by Grandma Zhang. The address given by Grandma Zhang was in the west of the city, and she had never been there before.
The alleys here aren't straight. Who planned them?!
The previous alley was clearly number 2, row 1, so how come the next alley was number 4? And then another alley back, row 7?!
Since his rebirth, Bi Chunliu felt as if he had changed his direction, or perhaps he had encountered a mysterious wall...
My sense of direction, which has never been wrong, went wrong here!!
"Girl in front, what are you doing?" asked an elderly woman in Hutong, eyeing Bi Chunliu suspiciously. She had just seen her walk around twice, checking house numbers. Could she be a thief scouting the area? Could someone tell if someone had money by looking at the house number? Are thieves that skilled these days?
Bi Chunliu looked at the old lady excitedly. Finally! Someone finally came to rescue her. If she went around twice more, she might not be able to get out...
Auntie: ???
"Auntie!! Do you know how to get to this address?" Bi Chunliu showed her the address.
The aunt glanced at the note, then looked at Bi Chunliu, "Old Wang's... I'll take you there."
Bi Chunliu said gratefully: "You are such a kind person... Thank you!"
The aunt curled her lips and then tightened them, "Let's go." She glanced at Bi Chunliu and said, "Hmph, don't think that I won't doubt you just because you praise me. When we get to the Wang family, we'll know whether this guy is making excuses or just trying to trick me."
Following the aunt, Bi Chunliu finally got to seat two in row six!
"Thank you, Auntie, it's all thanks to you!" Bi Chunliu expressed her sincere gratitude.
The aunt called out to see if Old Wang was there, then took Bi Chunliu into the compound.
Old Master Wang came out of the house and asked, "Aunt Zhang, what's wrong?"
Aunt Zhang: "It's not me, it's this girl. Don't you know her?"
Aunt Zhang stared at Bi Chunliu with a pair of sharp eyes. She said that just now on the road, this girl kept asking her why the courtyards here were built in such a disorderly manner! Fortunately, she didn't explain the order here in detail to her!
Bi Chunliu: "..." He looked at Master Wang and said, "Master Wang, I'm from Meihua Hutong near the textile factory compound. Grandma Zhang Guihua asked me to come here."
Old Master Wang nodded. "Oh, was it Zhang Da or Zhang Dajie who asked you to come? Aunt Zhang, it's okay. This person was introduced by my distant relative."
Aunt Zhang glanced at Old Wang, then looked at Bi Chunliu. "Okay, then I'm going home. Old Wang, this girl probably can't get out. When she gets home, ask your Xiaole to see her off."
Master Wang: “I understand.”
After Aunt Zhang left, Master Wang gestured for Bi Chunliu to come into the house.
There was also a child in the room scratching wood with a small file, he looked about five or six years old. So this was Xiaole?
Bi Chunliu: "..." It really comes from a family background...
Born five years ago, you might only have three years of work experience...
Master Wang told the child to sit over to the side and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Master Wang, I'd like to put a row of wooden boxes under my windowsill to grow vegetables. Grandma Zhang said you might have some, so I came here. Do you have any?"
"Yes, we have a wooden box at home right now. Would you like to take a look?"
"good!"
Bi Chunliu saw that the wooden box that Old Master Wang had brought was similar to what she had imagined: a box without a lid and not too deep. She asked for four medium-sized ones and a large one. Master Wang saw that Bi Chunliu wanted a lot, so he gave her money without any complaints and generously gave her two small ones.
"You can't grow anything, but you can store some small things. This kid made this as a gift for you." Old Master Wang pointed at his eldest grandson.
Bi Chunliu gave the child a thumbs-up. "Great!" He pulled out a candy from his pocket and said, "This is for the little master!"
When the child saw the candy, his eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to take it. He just looked at his grandfather longingly.
Master Wang nodded, and the child took it and said thank you, sister.
.
After coming out of Wang's house, Bi Chunliu was carrying a wooden box, and Master Xiaole followed beside him with half a piece of candy in his mouth. He wanted to take Bi Chunliu back to the main road.
"Go away, go away, the person you are talking about is not here!!"
"Sister, please, I really need to see Doctor Shen for something. I went through a lot of trouble to find out. I'm not a bad person. I just want to ask Doctor Shen for that magic formula. Please let me see Doctor Shen..."
Bi Chunliu quickly pulled Xiaole back.
???
Isn't this Uncle Qi? Why is he here?
