Daming: From the end of Hongwu

Chapter 54
The mouth of Beetail Alley.

Zhang Yuqing was still a little confused.

Why is this different from what his father said, how can he be promoted just after going out.

Is this... still his son?
Zhang Yuqing was beating the drums in his heart, but his heart was still like a honey pot that had been overturned, constantly bubbling sweet water, and he was very comfortable. Looking at the old ladies around him who had known each other for many years, he couldn't help but want to put on airs.

Is this identity?

At this moment, the Erxian in the alley ran over impatiently, shouting as he ran: "Mother, mother, hurry up and go home to put out the fire, Fifth Sister set the kitchen on fire."

Everyone was startled and looked around quickly.

From a distance, white smoke billowed from above Zhen Wu's house.

Zhang Yuqing couldn't care about Mei anymore, and said: "Oh my God." He lifted his feet and ran home. When the other old ladies saw this, they naturally didn't stand by and ran, calling on the people in the alley to put out the fire. .

In Zhen Wu's house, the third and fourth younger sisters were busy with their hands and feet. One fetched water from the well, and the other poured water on the firelight in the kitchen with a basin.

Because Fifth Sister accidentally ordered the kitchen, she was so scared that she panicked. She stood tremblingly and burst into tears. Xiao Liu led Xiao Qi to hide far away. Xiao Liu repeatedly slapped him several times.

Immediately, Xiao Qida's face drooped.

The fire in the kitchen was not too big at first, but there was a pile of firewood in the kitchen. After the fire spread, it became much bigger after a while, and the third and fourth sister Ren couldn't put it out no matter how fast they moved.

Seeing this, the third child got angry and rushed into the kitchen to move some things out so that they would not be burned to ashes.

The high temperature brought by the fire and the suffocation brought by the smoke all directly affected the third child for a while. The third child gritted his teeth, quickly closed his breath, squinted his eyes, went straight to the rice noodles, picked it up and ran outside.

Zhang Yuqing also ran back at this time, seeing the third child coming out of the burning kitchen carrying things, he couldn't help howling: "You little bastard, you don't want to kill you."

Erxian followed closely behind, and also patted his chest in fear.

The third child didn't care whether Zhang Yuqing scolded him or not, so he quickly asked the second sage: "Second sister, did you call someone here, this fire can't be extinguished by a few people in our family."

"Called and called."

A group of neighbors also rushed into Zhen Wu's house at this time.

The houses in the alleys are all connected. If this house is on fire, no one in the other houses can ignore it, and they don’t need to be greeted. One by one quickly fetches water and puts out the fire.

Many others brought water from neighbors.

Everyone worked together and worked hard, and finally extinguished the fire before it reached other people's homes, but the kitchen of Zhen Wu's house had already burned a few holes in the roof, and the walls were burnt black. Guy style basically all destroyed.

When the outsiders saw this situation, they all sighed and left without saying anything.

And Zhen Wu's family looked at the kitchen, wanting to cry without tears.

The third child couldn't bear it at first, and frowned and looked at the fifth sister bitterly: "What's going on? How can you burn the kitchen down?"

Fifth Sister has always been afraid, little people know that she has caused a catastrophe, but at the age of ten, she already has the concept of poor family conditions, and she is even more self-blaming.

If there was trouble outside, she would still dare to look for her family members, but if trouble happened at home, the little girl's world seemed to have collapsed, with no one to rely on, no one to rely on, and now she heard the voice of the third child again, and she was so frightened that she immediately became hysterical cried.

Fourth sister, Xiaoliu, and Xiaoqi didn't dare to come forward to coax them, they all stood obediently, not daring to speak.

Er Xian sighed and looked towards the kitchen.

The third child was still consciously angry: "Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, you can change things back? Now, it's all right, it's all burned up."

Zhang Yuqing felt sorry for her daughter, and couldn't help but protect her: "Why are you talking about her? Could it be possible to change back just by talking about it?" After speaking, seeing her daughter crying uncomfortably, she walked over and hugged her in her arms.

But Zhang Yuqing couldn't help sighing while looking at the kitchen. Her daughter made her feel bad, but the clean kitchen also made her feel bad.

Isn't this just making the family that is not rich worse.

Fifth Sister was held in Zhang Yuqing's arms, and she felt better at first, but when she heard Zhang Yuqing's sigh, she felt uncomfortable again, and couldn't stop crying.

Just when Fifth Sister was crying so hard.

At the gate of the courtyard, Zhen Wu's voice sounded.

"Good guy, I said why no one is waiting for me at the entrance of the alley, and the house is on fire." Zhen Wu walked into the yard with a bright smile, looked at the burned kitchen with great interest, and was even in high spirits Went in and had a look around.

When Xiao Liu saw Zhen Wu, he wanted to rush over immediately, but he took a peek at everyone's expressions, and held back.

Now, naughty will be beaten.

Zhang Yuqing and the others watched Zhen Wu visit the kitchen, feeling a little embarrassed. It's a good home, and Zhen Wu became like this as soon as he came back.

But after Zhen Wu came out of the kitchen, the smile on his face was still bright, and he couldn't see any frustration. He glanced at the crowd, came to Zhang Yuqing with a smile, and pulled Wumei to his eyes.

"Look at you, tell me how you did it." Zhen Wu asked gently.

Fifth Sister cried and raised her head, thinking that Zhen Wu would also blame him, but she saw Zhen Wu's smile at a glance, and there was no trace of blame in her eyes, which immediately made Fifth Sister feel her inner world collapse , suddenly shone a beam of brilliant light.

She tried her best to hold back the crying, and then told Zhen Wu the reason, but she just couldn't help it, she was so crying that she couldn't speak at all.

Zhen Wu was not in a hurry, and gently helped Fifth Sister wipe away her tears over and over again.

Until Fifth Sister could speak out sobbingly.

"Four...sister, let me watch the fire, I... I... I just took a nap and it caught fire. I really didn't mean it." After finishing speaking, Fifth Sister burst into tears again.

"Yeah." Zhen Wu nodded with a smile: "Stop crying, big brother didn't blame you."

"Really?" Fifth Sister raised her head abruptly as if she wanted to look at Hope, her little face covered with tears.

Zhen Wu smiled and wiped her tears again: "Really, but in the future, you can't be so careless when you work. What should you do if you accidentally burn yourself? Brother will be so distressed. This time, it's just burning Big Brother won’t care if it’s a kitchen.”

Zhen Wu's reassurance immediately made Wumei feel a lot better, as if a heavy stone fell, but she also blamed herself more and more, and burst into tears as if she was released.

The voice that had been crying all the time was a little hoarse, and then gradually relaxed.

Zhen Wu said distressedly: "Don't cry, if you cry again, Big Brother won't love you anymore."

Fifth Sister held Zhen Wu's palm firmly, the little child seemed to have exhausted all her strength, her head twitched and wanted to hold back her crying.

Zhen Wu patted Fifth Younger Sister's head, looked at Zhang Yuqing and the others with a smile, and said, "I'm back, and you've been crying all the time, third child, don't you see anything when you look at my clothes? This is Baihu's official uniforms."

The third child's eyes lit up, but dimmed again the next moment.

It seems that he is not in the mood to be happy about such a great thing as a promotion.

Zhen Wu helplessly said to Zhang Yuqing again: "Mother, don't take the lead in being sad. You are so sad, and Fifth Sister also feels sad. Besides, isn't it just a kitchen?"

Zhang Yuqing sighed: "To put it simply again, if this kitchen wants to be used again, it will take more than ten days to repair it, but what should we do for our family to eat in these ten days?"

Zhen Wu took out the deed and key from his pocket and handed them to Zhang Yuqing.

"I just bought a house, and I planned to pick a good date before moving, but now, it just saves the effort of picking a date."

House?

Everyone thought they heard it wrong.

But seeing Zhen Wu's serious face, they felt a little bit of anticipation in their hearts.

Zhang Yuqing took the house deed and the key, looked at the house deed, and looked up again, his eyes were full of surprise.

This boss, not to mention his promotion, why he even bought a house.

How come so many difficult things have become so simple for the boss.

The fifth one set fire to a new house.
