Blessed Daughter

Wei Ruo and others walked over and saw that a house in the alley had collapsed, and the ruins of the house were covered by snow.

I asked the onlookers that the owner of the house was fine and had been rescued, but the house collapsed and the family had no place to live. The women were sitting in the alley crying, and the men were trying to find some useful things out of the ruins. .

Wei Ruo looked at it for a while, then pulled Wei Jinyi away.

Wei Ruo didn't do anything, it's not that he doesn't think this family is pitiful, but that at least the family's life is safe in this situation, and there must be someone in a worse situation than this family now.

Wei Jin also didn't say anything, although he didn't ask, but Wei Jin also knew what Wei Ruo was thinking, and they should have the same view on this matter.

Going forward, you can see some houses that have been in disrepair and collapsed almost every section of the road, but most of the people who can live in the city are not in bad conditions.

It's just that this also sends out a message that so many houses in the city have been crushed and collapsed, and the situation in the small mountain village outside the city must be even more serious.

After walking for a while, Wei Ruo and others came to Sibaozhai and Xuji Braised Meat Shop.

The door of Sibaozhai's shop is half open, there are people inside, but the shop is not open; Xu Ji's braised meat shop is open, but the front door is deserted, in stark contrast to the lively scene in the past.

I also know that today everyone will not be in the mood to buy lo-mei.

The other guy in the shop was not there, only Chen Aqing was still busy in the shop.

Seeing Wei Ruo, Chen Aqing's eyes flashed joy, but after seeing a strange man by Wei Ruo's side, she quickly returned to normal.

"It's okay, this person is an exception. He is my second brother and the only one in my family who can talk to me. He can be trusted." Wei Ruo explained to Chen Aqing.

When Wei Ruo explained, he didn't notice the change in Wei Jinyi's eyes behind him.

One and only, heart-to-heart, this is her recognition of him.

"Ah Qing, didn't I deliver the letter yesterday? If the snow is too heavy, we don't need to open today. Didn't you receive the letter?" Wei Ruo said.

"I received it. Don't worry, miss. I only made a small amount today. Occasionally, one or two people will come to buy it. It should be sold out in the evening." Chen Aqing explained to Wei Ruo.

"That's not what I mean. It's such a cold day, and there are no guests, and the New Year is approaching, so you can take this opportunity to rest for two days." Wei Ruo said.

Working in her shop, there is basically no rest day.

Chen Aqing shook her head: "Miss, let me stay here all the time. They said that business is good during the Chinese New Year. And I have nowhere to go. If I don't open a shop, I have nothing else to do."

Chen Aqing's parents are still alive, but it is not a home for her to go back to.

If she went back, her parents would probably take back all the money she earned, and maybe a beating would be inevitable.

"Well, anyway, if you're tired, you can take a two-day break. It's Chinese New Year, and I, the boss, don't want to be accused of oppressing employees." Wei Ruo laughed.

"Miss, don't worry, I won't." Chen Aqing replied.

After briefly explaining to Chen Aqing, Wei Ruo came to Sibaozhai next door.

The door was ajar, Wei Ruo easily opened it and walked in.

"Miss is here to find us to be the head of the house?"

Because Wei Ruo had come to look for someone more than once, although the shop assistants didn't know the exact relationship between her and Sibaozhai, they recognized her.

Wei Ruo asked, "Is your head there?"

"The head of the house is in the back yard." The man replied.

Wei Ruo went straight through the shop and went to the small courtyard behind.

Wei Jin also followed behind Wei Ruo, although he was suspicious but did not speak.

In the backyard, Xu Zhushan was busy chopping firewood.

Snow fell, and snow accumulated on the firewood piled up in the yard. Xu Zhushan was sorting them out, chopping them up and moving them to the hut for storage.

A while ago, he had been helping Wei Ruo with the Zhuangzi's affairs, and Xu Zhushan had never had the chance to do these chores at home. He couldn't go out today, so he happened to do these chores.

"Uncle Xu."

"Miss!" Seeing Wei Ruo, Xu Zhushan quickly put down his work, "Miss, it's so cold and the road is covered with snow, why did you come here?"

"It's not far away. I'll come over and take a look and get something." Wei Ruo replied.

The nanny who heard the voice also came out of the house, seeing Wei Ruo, the nanny's face was full of joy.

"Miss, go inside quickly, it's cold outside, don't freeze." The nanny hurriedly pulled Wei Ruo into the room.

It was only after she stepped forward that she realized that Wei Ruo was followed by two people she had never seen before.

The nanny was taken aback.

"This is my second brother." Wei Ruo replied.

The nurse didn't know how to greet Wei Jinyi.

Wei Jin also said: "You can say what you want, don't worry about me."

In order to avoid further embarrassment, Wei Ruo said to the nanny: "Nurse, I came here today to get some silver bone charcoal from you. I will leave after I take it. I don't want to stay for long."

"Okay. I knew I should have sent it to the young lady earlier, but the road is not easy to walk, I'm afraid I can't transport too much at once." The nanny said a little annoyed.

Hearing the conversation between Wei Ruo and her nanny, Xiaobei gave a surprised look.

This silver bone charcoal is very expensive, especially the recent weather has made good charcoal such as silver bone charcoal very difficult to buy.

But how did you hear the tone of the eldest lady talking to her nanny, as if there is a lot of silver bone charcoal at home, and you can take out a big cart casually?

"It's okay, I won't take too much this time, just take two bags."

"Will two bags be too little? It's been cold for the past two days, the charcoal fire must not be cut off in the young lady's room, otherwise it is easy to catch cold." The nanny said.

"Two bags are enough for several days, just come back to get them when they are used up." Wei Ruo replied.

"Okay then, I'll ask Lao Xu to send it to Miss." The nanny said.

"No, just two bags, we can take it back by ourselves, don't bother Uncle Xu." Wei Ruo said.

Xiumei followed suit and said, "I carried the two bags back by myself."

Hearing this, Xiaobei hurriedly said: "Miss Xiumei, this kind of work shouldn't be done by you alone, just let me do it."

"Stop arguing with me. You look as thin as a monkey. Just take care of yourself and walk. The road is slippery in snowy weather and you are easy to fall." Xiumei said.

Hearing this, Xiaobei was unhappy: "Miss Xiumei, you are not afraid of falling as a girl, what am I afraid of as a man? No, I have to do this kind of heavy work."

Wei Ruo couldn't stand it anymore: "Don't argue, the nanny has a small cart here, just push it."

Although the carriage cannot go, the small cart can still be pushed, just be careful not to let the cart slip away when pushing.

"Yes, yes, there is a small cart, so I can push it back to save energy." The nanny said hurriedly.
