In the half a month before the house was completed, Jiujiu would rather do less embroidery and take good care of the children. She even took the children to play in the fields every afternoon.
The advantage of children was that they had a good memory, but they were also forgetful.
Li Shoujie and Li Shu, who were out of breath from crying because of Aunt Li's words, smiled innocently again after being accompanied by Jiujiu for a few days.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the owner of the embroidery shop asked someone to bring a message to Jiujiu, saying that the house was ready.
Because he was worried that it would be inconvenient for Jiujiu to move, the owner of the embroidery shop specially asked someone to bring a carriage.
If Jiujiu wanted to move, she could do so at any time.
Jiujiu was not Madam Li. She did not have much nostalgia for this village. She casually tidied up the things in the house that could be used, got into the carriage with the two children, and left without looking back.
The people in the village watched Jiujiu being taken away by a carriage and talked about it.
Aunt Li guessed that it was no wonder that Matchmaker Wang said that Butcher Li's matchmaker was not willing to agree.
Butcher Li was so rich, but he was reluctant to buy a carriage. However, this person came with a carriage. Obviously, he was much richer than Butcher Li.
The people in the village thought that it was good enough that Jiujiu could find Butcher Li for her second marriage. They did not expect that there would be someone who was richer than Butcher Li.
For a while, there were people in the village who said all kinds of things, but without exception, they all envied Jiujiu.
The owner of the embroidery shop knew that Jiujiu had two children, so he deliberately put some pastries and candied fruits that children liked to eat in the carriage.
Li Shoujie and Li Shu were children in the village. They had never seen exquisite pastries and candied fruits. Not to mention eating, they were happy.
Seeing her two children eating so happily, Jiujiu sighed in her heart. The owner of the embroidery shop had a lot to do with his good manners.
He was so considerate to her, an embroiderer who bought embroidery. He even helped her find a house and watched over the renovation.
She had only asked him to pass on a message, but he had been so considerate as to send a carriage over. He had even meticulously prepared pastries and candied fruits for her child.
With this kind of treatment, it would be hard for his business not to be good.
At the very least, she had received so many benefits from him. In the future, it would really be difficult to sell this embroidery to another person.
The carriage took Jiujiu and the child to the gate of the courtyard before leaving.
When he bought the house, it was extremely old. But now, not only did the house look brand new, there were also some flowers and plants. Although it was already late autumn, the newly planted chrysanthemums on both sides of the courtyard were already in full bloom. It was really a unique feeling.
When he arrived at the house, he found that the old furniture in the house had been replaced.
Moreover, the shopkeeper not only bought new furniture for Jiujiu, but also helped to buy new bedding. Jiujiu walked to the bedside and reached out to touch it. The bedding was warm. It was obvious that the bedding had been exposed to the sun.
The treatment of the owner of the embroidery shop was really good.
Jiujiu casually put away her things and asked the coachman to buy some food from the hotel for her. Then, she lived here with the two children.
In the next few days, Jiujiu went out to buy things every day.
A month later, all the things that needed to be bought were bought. It was already the beginning of winter.
It was just the beginning of winter. The wind, which was still a little warm in the past, was like a piercing knife. In less than a moment, it made people's faces become dazzling red.
The two children were young and had weak immune systems. Jiujiu didn't dare to let the children play outside. So, she found a carpenter to make some children's toys. She made a fire in the house and accompanied the children to play in the house.
Just like that, the days passed one by one.
Soon, it was the twelfth lunar month.
The twelfth lunar month was really cold. Even if Jiujiu had internal strength to protect her body, she didn't want to go out unless it was a critical moment.
On this day, Jiujiu coaxed the two children to sleep. When she was about to go to sleep after embroidering for a while, she suddenly heard a thumping sound coming from the wall.
At first, Jiujiu thought that it was the sound of coal being burned by the fire.
But as the sound became louder and louder, Jiujiu turned her head and saw a sharp object slowly retracting from the wall. And there was a small hole in the wall of her house.
The weak candlelight flowed along the hole to the wall.
Jiujiu always knew that there was an idiom called cutting the wall to borrow the light.
However, she was the one who was cut into the wall to borrow the light, so she was a little unhappy.
Jiujiu looked at the hole in the wall and thought that it was late now. In the end, she didn't get angry.
That night, Jiujiu acted as if she didn't know that there was a hole in the wall. She did what she usually did.
The next day, after Jiujiu settled the two children down, she directly knocked on the door of the house next door.
Jiujiu's house next door had a similar layout to her house, but the inside was very different from Jiujiu's house. The roof tiles were broken, the courtyard was not repaired, and it was deserted like a deserted house.
Jiujiu knocked on the door for a full ten minutes before the door was slowly opened from the inside.
Jiujiu looked at the little boy standing in front of her. His height only reached her shoulders and he looked to be at most sixteen years old, and her heart instantly softened.
The moment the little boy saw Jiujiu, his cheeks turned red, and then he lowered his head. She didn't know if it was because men and women shouldn't touch each other, or because he was ashamed of cutting the wall to borrow the light yesterday.
Jiujiu stepped into the courtyard.
The man followed behind Jiujiu like a little chick.
Jiujiu looked at the desolate state of the man's courtyard and asked, "Is there anyone else in your house?"
The man cut the wall to borrow the light last night, and today, Jiujiu came to his house. His heart was like a thousand little deer, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping, thumping. At this moment, when he heard Jiujiu ask if there was anyone else in his house, he felt uneasy. After a long time, he pursed his lips and softly said, "No, I'm the only one left in the house."
When she heard the man say that he was the only one left in the house, Jiujiu was startled at first, then she carefully sized up the man.
The man looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Even though he was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, it couldn't hide his thin body, especially his cheeks. Because he was too thin, his face was especially small, and his eyes were frighteningly big.
Jiujiu lowered her head and saw the man's fingers that couldn't be hidden under his sleeves because his clothes were too short.
His fingers were still stained with fresh ink, and his ten fingers were densely covered with frostbite. Especially his right hand, which needed to write, the five fingers were red and swollen like five little radishes.
Jiujiu originally wanted to ask the man what happened last night, but when she saw the man's appearance, she sighed softly and said, "Yesterday's incident, you did it, right?"
