[Comprehensive film and television host British and American drama] Zai Su also wants to fall in lov

The house has been lightly cleaned by the landlord, and there is no dust on the furniture.Lydia rummaged through the box to find a blanket, and put Claude, who was sleeping, on the sofa in the living room.As soon as the fireplace is lit, the whole room is warmed up.She took off the hat on her head, put on a black lace mobcap, found out an apron to put on herself, and walked into the kitchen.

"Gina, clean the living room first, spread the carpet you brought from home, shake the dust outside before spreading it in. Look at Claude, I'll make lunch."

Gina nodded, and obediently went out to find the carpet in the box.

The lunch is very simple, baked potatoes, a bowl of custard and a kipper per person.Although there is no sweet bread and cream soup, Gina eats it with relish. For Gina who grew up in an orphanage, being able to eat is already a great thing!Not to mention there are eggs and fish to eat.

By 3pm, the entire house had been thoroughly cleaned.All kinds of furniture are also placed in their respective seats.Little Derby woke up once in the middle, and Lydia fed him boiled goat milk. The little guy sat on the sofa and talked for half an hour.

It gets dark early in winter in England. Seeing the darkening sky, Su Li quickly wrapped Claude in a blanket and carried Gina on a wheelbarrow from the tool shed next to the chicken coop. Go out the back door to the small woods and come back with a cart full of firewood.Seeing that it was still dark, the two put the firewood in the car into the tool shed and ran back and forth twice to load two carts of firewood back.Seeing that the firewood in the tool room could last for two or three days, Lydia breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare dinner.

British dinners are much more substantial than lunches.She made creamy vegetable soup with goat's milk, fried the smoked bacon brought from Milton, and fried mashed potatoes with the soy sauce in her space as the main course.Coupled with a bowl of egg custard per person, overall it is still very rich.

After boiling the water and scrubbing, Su Li carried Claude back to her bedroom. Gina held a candle to help light it, and then returned to her room.Both of them were exhausted all day today, and they fell into a deep sleep not long after touching the bed.

Su Li didn't wake up until eight o'clock the next morning. Only when she had a child would she truly know how difficult it is to manage a child.Last night, she was woken up three times by Claude, to nurse and pee.But Cranford was quiet, and the fireplace was warm, so he slept well.She remembered that she didn't seem to be so tired in her previous life, did she?Sometimes when she fell asleep in a daze, she felt a chill on her chest, and Tan Zongmin just put the child in front of her.

Because there are already children in this world, and because of the fate of the third life, Su Li has not put the emotions of the previous life into the memory bottle for the time being.She wants to miss the good life of her previous life for a while longer!

She put on a black widow's dress, put on little Derby's clothes, wrapped her in a thick blanket, and carried her to the restaurant. Gina made breakfast, goat's milk, bacon, and eggs.

Gina has already fed the chickens and sheep, and squeezed a bucket of goat milk and put it in the kitchen. The goat milk that Claude needs to drink has also been boiled and kept warm in front of the fireplace.

Su Li gave her thumbs up for adopting Gina!How can she be so busy if she is the only one!

After breakfast, she washed the dishes and took Claude on her back to push the wheelbarrow and took Gina to the small woods outside to collect firewood.They didn't go home until noon, and in the afternoon they went to collect firewood again.There is no way, the weather is still very cold now, so we need to collect enough firewood for a month before the neighbors come to visit!Fortunately, most of the people in the town use coal, and there are a lot of firewood in the woods. What they collect back and forth today is almost enough for a month.But fearing that it would rain next day, the two of them pushed the wheelbarrow to collect firewood the next day, and they didn't stop until they filled all the open space in the tool room with firewood.

The fourth day has come——

This morning, Su Li put on a new widow's dress, her hair was pulled up in a beautiful bun, and she wore a gemstone necklace around her neck.Let Gina wear the new dress she bought, and the three of them made a pot of black tea after lunch, and put Cranford on the carpet.Lydia took out a French book and started teaching Gina French while waiting for a neighbor's visit.

Cranford's lovely rule: no one visits until three days after moving here, to give them time to tidy up the house.Be sure to return within three days after others have visited.And the visiting time is after 12 noon, and the visiting time shall not exceed 15 minutes.

At 12:10, there was a knock on the yard door.

Gina went to answer the door, and four middle-aged women walked into the house, wearing outdated skirts, but everyone looked very good.

Su Li stood up and saluted: "Welcome." She led him to the sofa and sat down, and asked Gina to pour a cup of black tea for the beauty.

A lady with a lively face spoke first: "Oh, you can call me Miss Pole. This is Mrs. Forrester, who lives next door to you." She pointed to a lady with a kind face who looked weak and introduced. .Then, without giving Su Li a chance to speak, she introduced the remaining two ladies: "This is Miss Jenkins, and this is Miss Marty. Miss Jenkins is Miss Marty's older sister." She pointed to one of them respectively. A lady with a serious face and a chubby lady who looks very kind.

Su Li sensitively noticed her address, three middle-aged ladies.

She quickly introduced herself: "Lydia Derby." She picked up Claude who was crawling on the carpet: "This is my son, Claude Derby. And my adopted daughter, Gina Riley ... Riley was my maiden name."

Miss Pole couldn't wait to say: "Hello, Mrs. Derby. Let me tell you, it's been a long time since we've had any guests in Cranford! Your presence makes us all very happy."

"Thank you." Su Li began to introduce her background. You must know that there are more gossips in places where there are many women. In order not to be guessed by others, why not introduce yourself: "I am from Milton. I haven't seen a sunny day since I got married. The sky is always gray, and there is always wool or cotton wool in the air. I moved here for my little Claude."

"Indeed." Mrs. Jenkins disliked the so-called industrial revolution: "Cranford is a good place, so are you going to live here for a long time?"

"Yes, I bought this house. The blue sky, green grass and clear river, everything here makes me very satisfied. I can't find a better place for people to live than this in the north." This This sentence successfully made the serious Miss Jenkins smile.

"You have a southern accent," Miss Pole pointed out.

Su Li nodded and smiled, holding Claude gently shaking: "I come from Devon, which is close to the sea and has countless farmland, cattle, sheep and flowers."

"It doesn't sound any different from here," said Mrs. Forrester.

Su Li nodded: "Indeed, there is not much difference. Except that here we like to use coal to light the fireplace, but in my hometown, we still tend to use wood that can emit a natural fragrance."

In Cranford, you can't cry poor, this is also Cranford's rule.

In the next few days, the life of their family was to be visited non-stop, and then return visits to the surrounding neighbors.Most people are very talkative, and even those who are not so talkative are kind-hearted.

Cranford is not very big, but within a week, she has already known people in the town.

The lively home became quiet again, and their lives became more regular.

Get up at 7:30 in the morning, have breakfast, feed the chickens and goats and milk the goats.Go out and buy some cheap beef or pork from a butcher.Then he nursed Claude and carried him out to pick up a few carts of firewood.They piled the firewood under the wall or in the inner wall when there was not enough room in the tool room.After feeding Cloud halfway, she and Gina would go to the spring to fetch enough water for them to drink and cook for a day.After lunch, I went to visit neighbors.After returning, she will nurse Cloud, and then she will teach Gina some lessons that a lady should know.She planned to train Gina to be a tutor. After all, they didn't have much money. As adopted daughters, a salary of [-] pounds a year would be quite good.

Of course, they will also be female celebrities.

She brought all the clothes of Mr. Derby's sister before she got married, and she could wear them for Gina with a little modification.Gina isn't old enough to socialize and doesn't need new clothes.There was no need for new clothes in Cranford, exactly.Although the women here also pursue fashion trends, the pursuit and their own dressing are completely different things.

The garden has been well organized, and it won't be long before the lavender and roses will bloom one after another.Enthusiastic neighbors gifted many other flower seeds, all of which Suli planted in the front yard.Then she gave back the goat milk that she couldn't eat that day, and publicized the benefits of goat milk. Soon, the goat milk in her family was in short supply.

This bought her back some small money.The same is true for eggs, which can be exchanged for about a shilling if you save them for a month and sell them in the market.In this way, their income and expenditure are basically balanced.

After staying in Cranford for a month, she received a letter from Milton that her house was rented out by the Hill family from the south.This also means that she can get 30 pounds a year in rent in the future.This is also a huge sum of money for her now, and her family can eat a few more meals of beef.

The author has something to say:

My dream is to own a small house in Cranford and live a leisurely life of gossip about others and be gossiped by others
