Back to the Republic of China to open a department store

Mrs. Ah Qing, that is, the woman who helped the man at the construction site after the man was injured, is standing in the firewood room next to the back kitchen, tremblingly taking the towel from Aunt Lin, and drying her wet hair .

Naturally, a person of her status would not really go to the upstairs bathroom to take a bath as that kind-hearted young master Luo said.Even if the young master is willing, how can they bear it.

Those men were all dragged to the concierge by the housekeeper, and she was the only woman who was dragged here to wash up.

The towel was white and soft, holding it in my hand was like holding a cloud.At home, she mostly used coarse towels to wash her face and hands. When had she ever used such a high-grade towel, let alone to wipe her face, even holding it in her hand felt like a kind of profanity.

"This is a new towel, never used, sister-in-law, don't dislike it."

Qiaodi happened to come in to get something, and saw Mrs. Ah Qing standing still holding the towel, thinking that she thought that this towel was used by someone before, so she was a little concerned, so she said enthusiastically.

"Don't dare, how dare you dislike it. Amitabha, don't be afraid of Nong's jokes. I grew up so big, I have three children, and I have never used such good things. When I got married, in the dowry my mother gave me, There is no such good handkerchief."

Qiaodi covered her mouth and giggled twice, then backed out.

Mrs. Ah Qing wiped the rain off her body while looking up at the surroundings of the woodshed.

It's just a place to pile firewood, and it's actually equipped with a lighting lamp.The yellow light seemed to have warmth, shining on her body, making her feel as if her body was warming up.

In Mrs. Ah Qing's house, the poor couldn't afford to light candles, and now at night, oil lamps were still lit as usual.

Now his man is sick and unable to work, Ah Santou is still young, and the work in the field is supported by the two children, Ah Da and Ah Er.She helps on the construction site during the day and does some mending under the lamp at night to subsidize her family.In this way, I also feel that oil lamps are too expensive, and it hurts to light them, let alone candles, let alone electric lights.

She has only seen electric lights at the police station and the gate of the county lord's office.

The family is really poor. The previous few years were not good, and several children were always sick, so they had to borrow money to make ends meet.That's why when she saw her man being sent back by the workers, she suddenly thought of blackmailing their school... For this reason, she turned down her face and ran to the house of her distant cousin, the chief of the island's police station, to get some money. relation.It is agreed that when the money is received, the two families will split half and half.

Who knew that he actually offended the young master of the Luo family, and the chickens and eggs were beaten, and the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.

It's just that I didn't expect the twists and turns. Whether it's the principal of the school or the young master of this big villa, they are all good people with a heart of Buddha. Instead of pursuing her crime of "blackmail", they gave her the man's medical expenses and kept her Helping the kitchen on the construction site, just cooking a meal, the monthly fee is so high... She felt extremely guilty, and felt that she should be hit by the sky.So not only do I cook three meals with my heart on the construction site on weekdays, but I also go to the construction site to move bricks and mix cement in my spare time.

There was a strong wind today, and her family had made preparations a few days earlier. Several children stayed at home to take care of the injured man.She didn't come to school originally, but the guilt in her heart drove her to the construction site spontaneously, and then she was taken into this heavenly house by the kind-hearted young master Luo.

After she finished scrubbing, she followed Aunt Lin back to the living room, watching the other workers face the luxurious overhead lights, carpets, and cabinets, and they also showed dazzled expressions. High-rise buildings are not bad.

Luo Xiazhi and Gu Hanlin also finished washing, and are sitting on both sides of the sofa in the living room drinking tea.

"Everyone, don't be restrained, sit casually, what are you doing standing?"

The workers were all standing at the entrance of the living room, not daring to step on the exquisite carpet on the floor, let alone sit on the sofa and foreign chairs that were expensive no matter how they looked.

----------------

In the second half of the night, the wind and rain intensified, and the glass windows were blown "bang bang", and lightning bolts split the black sky, leaving hideous scars on the ground.

Worried that Xiaoxiao would be afraid, Luo Xiazhi, who was awakened by the thunder, simply got up and wanted to go to the next room to see how Xiaoxiao was doing.He pulled the light on the bedside and found that the villa was also cut off.

There was a kerosene lamp on the table, but Luo Xiazhi couldn't light it after fiddling with it for a long time, so he just took a candle, polished it with a match, and walked carefully outside the door.

His room was in the first room at the turn of the stairs on the second floor.Going further inside is Xiaoxiao's room.The guest room was located in the third room, and it was arranged for Gu Hanlin to live in.

Gently opened the door of Xiaoxiao's room, Qiaodi, who was sleeping on the sofa outside, saw the light, sat up vigilantly, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was Luo Xiazhi who came.

"Did Xiaoxiao sleep well? Didn't you get scared?"

"No, maybe I was tired from playing in the morning, and the lady slept soundly."

Qiaodi pulled up the cover on the sofa and put it on, followed Luo Xiazhi to Xiaoxiao's bedside.

Seeing the little girl sleeping in the dark and completely unaffected by the outside world, Luo Xiazhi was relieved.And told Qiaodi that the villa was powered off, if Xiaoxiao woke up in the middle of the night, remember to prepare the oil lamp before leaving.

Leaving Xiaoxiao's room, Luo Xiazhi held the candlestick and looked down the first floor.

A group of workers were sleeping in disorder on the floor stall, as well as the housekeeper and Ale who were worried and purposely stayed with them.These workers refused to sleep on the sofa and carpet no matter how much they persuaded them, so Ale and the housekeeper had to roll up the carpet, and then they slept on the floor.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and exploded right in front of the huge stained glass window on the stairs on the second floor, which startled Rorschach.The small skylight next to the glass window was not closed tightly, and the strong wind blew in through the gap of the window, blowing out the candle in Luo Xiazhi's hand.

Not only that, raindrops also came in through the cracks of the window, and there was a puddle of water stains on the corner of the stairs, causing Luo Xiazhi to roll down the stairs unexpectedly.

He groaned inwardly, subconsciously wrapping his arms around his head.

"what sound?"

"Master!"

"It's the young master who rolled down the stairs!"

Hearing the noise, everyone sleeping downstairs woke up one after another. The housekeeper found out that there was a power outage, and immediately took out the kerosene lamps he had prepared and lit them up.

When Luo Xiazhi rolled to the floor downstairs, he felt as if he hit something soft on his back, but it wasn't very painful.

"Master!"

"Master, are you alright?"

Seeing Luo Xiazhi lying under the stairs, Ah Le was so frightened that his soul would fly away. He wanted to step forward to help him, but he heard a loud shout from the second floor.

"Don't move him! Just lie down and don't move!"

Gu Hanlin put on his coat and ran out of the guest room in a hurry, followed by Qiaodi holding an oil lamp.

Ah Le heard from Luo Xiazhi that this Gu Hanlin was a son of a medical family, and he must have a reason for not being able to move.So he immediately withdrew his hands, and pushed everyone away so that Gu Hanlin could look at the injury.

"How are you? Did you hit your head? Did you hit your ribs?"

Taking the oil lamp from Qiaodi, Gu Hanlin squatted down and looked at Luo Xiazhi who was curled up like shrimp.

"I'm fine..."

Luo Xiazhi let go of his head, and after resting for a while, he propped his hands on the floor and sat up.Hit the waist of the hammer with the right hand.

"But the tailbone hit?"

"No, I feel like I bumped into something soft and blocked me..."

Rorschach looked to the side with the help of the dim light - there was a rolled up carpet at the corner of the stairs, it was the Turkish carpet that was originally laid in the center of the living room!

With Gu Hanlin's support, Luo Xiazhi walked a few steps, and finally jumped to make sure that he was really not hurt at all.

"It seems that you are all my saviors. If this roll of carpet were not here, I really don't know how I would fall this time."

Luo Xiazhi bowed his hands to the crowd who came up to care about him, and a group of men smiled shyly.

"Young master, a good man will be rewarded!"

"That's right!"

Aunt Lin hurried down from the second floor, her face darkened.

"Young master, this window was originally closed properly. I checked it in the afternoon."

"That's right, I checked all the doors and windows in the house with Aunt Lin."

The butler also said with a bad face.

If the young masters and ladies are injured, the two of them will be the first to eat the "leadership". Naturally, they will do their best and dare not be sloppy.

Luo Xiazhi pursed her lips, recalling Xiao Xia's "accidental fall" in Luo's mansion.

Unexpectedly, the reason why he deliberately ran from the Luo mansion in Shanghai to this remote island was to get away from the disgraceful methods of the inner house. Unexpectedly, if he wanted to hide, the other party would not let him go.

"I saw it was this woman who opened the transom!"

A sharp female voice sounded from behind everyone, Luo Xiazhi looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Mrs. Ah Qing pointing at the door of the living room righteously and indignantly.

Standing at the door was another woman trembling with fright.

"I just woke up at night and couldn't find... I couldn't find the toilet here. Then I saw this woman running to the stairs by the light of the lightning outside and deliberately opened the window. It was her!"

Mrs. Ah Qing stared wide-eyed and accused.

"Young master..."

The woman at the door fell to the ground and kowtowed in fear.

"Go around me, spare me..."

The author has something to say: House fighting will come to an end almost in the first ten chapters (volume [-]), and from the second volume onwards it will all be about construction.
