Chapter 629

It's just that it's hard for Mrs. Xie, who is young and widowed, and it's finally time to enjoy the blessings. I didn't expect to go back to the point where I was doing laundry for others to earn money.If he had known that he had married such a strong wife, he would not have hindered the relationship between his son and Mo Sanniang.

Speaking of this, Mo Sanniang couldn't help feeling a little contemptuous towards Xie Zhiyuan: "When things have developed to this point, Mrs. Xie is not responsible, but in fact all the responsibilities are on Xie Zhiyuan's body. If he was a little tougher, he wouldn't be able to take the responsibility My old lady has pushed me to this point. Hey, sister, I heard from the person who bought the cloth yesterday that Mrs. Xie is sick every day and every day, and she has lost a lot of weight."

"Sister Mo, aren't you soft-hearted again?" Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows, she didn't want this Mo Sanniang to do something stupid again after being soft-hearted.

Mo Sanniang curled her lips, but her expression didn't change at all: "Soft-hearted? Huh, when she came to see me last time, she should have known that I would never have anything to do with Xie Zhiyuan again. Such a man, hey, I am now I just regret why I didn't see his true face clearly at the beginning, and I didn't leave him earlier. If I gave up on him earlier..."

"If you had given up on him earlier, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to wait for such a good man as Mr. Meng!" Lin Yuan raised her eyebrows on purpose, and answered Mo Sanniang's words with a smile.

Mo Sanniang blushed, and broke her mouth: "Stinky girl, I can see that you didn't come here to make clothes at all, you came here to see my excitement!"

Lin Yuan giggled, and tilted her chin towards the door: "Where am I here to watch the excitement? It's obvious that you just want me to watch it!"

Mo Sanniang followed her gaze, and sure enough, she saw Meng Liangdong walking towards here while arranging his clothes.Seeing the familiar figure, Mo Sanniang's watery eyes immediately emitted a soft light, and she subconsciously brushed the broken hair on her temples with her hands.

"Sanniang, are you busy?" Meng Liangdong couldn't wait to call out Mo Sanniang's name as soon as he entered the door.

Mo Sanniang opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Lin Yuan who was at the side suddenly interrupted: "No, no, Mr. Meng, come in quickly."

Meng Liangdong staggered when he just stepped into the threshold, and almost tripped him.

Dong, Dong?

Meng Liangdong seemed to see something incredible, he opened his eyes wide and stared at Lin Yuan, who was sitting on a chair beside him, and stammered out a few words: "Boss, you, why don't you Are you there?"

Lin Yuan was amused by his appearance, she bit her lip and said, "Why, Mr. Xu Meng, if you can come to find Sister Mo, you are not allowed to come and have a few words with Sister Mo?"

Meng Liangdong waved his hands again and again: "No, no, I, I didn't mean that."

With such a wave of his hand, the things that were originally held in the palm of his hand immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes.It was a very finely crafted silver hairpin. Although it didn't have any gorgeous decorations, it was exquisite. Even if she didn't hold it in her hand and looked at it carefully, Lin Yuan could see the uniqueness of the silver hairpin.

Delicate but not gorgeous, just like Mo Sanniang, who looks neither aggressive nor robbed, but is very passionate and sincere in her heart, which is very suitable for her silver hairpin.

Lin Yuan nodded secretly, who said that Meng Liangdong has an elm head, he has a good eye, and he knows how to buy silver hairpins for his beloved, he is better than Xia Zheng!
Seeing that Meng Liangdong's face was reddened by Lin Yuan's teasing, Mo Sanniang couldn't bear it, frowned and gave Lin Yuan a look, and said, "Okay, you know how to bully honest people! If you have the ability, go back and bully your young master!"

"Oh!" Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and she shot back and forth between the two of them in a funny way: "I am teasing Mr. Meng, even Mr. Meng is not angry, why is sister Mo so angry? Huh? Tell me quickly." , you two, what is going on?"

At the end, Lin Yuan showed a wretched and mischievous expression, saying that the two of them were going to find a crack in the ground to hide.

Meng Liangdong looked at Lin Yuan, then at Mo Sanniang, knowing that he couldn't hide it any longer, coughed, and put the silver hairpin in his hand on the counter graciously: "Well, I, I'm paying my wages!" , This is for you, you, keep it."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mo Sanniang to react, she turned around abruptly, said "I'll go first" to Lin Yuan, and ran out of the cloth shop as if fleeing.Because he was walking in such a hurry, he even forgot the threshold, and his feet almost tripped over the threshold.

"Hey!" Mo Sanniang rubbed worriedly and stood up from the chair, "Be careful!"

Meng Liangdong held onto the door of the store with both hands, and managed not to fall.He turned around and laughed twice in embarrassment, said "it's all right" and hurried away.

Lin Yuan finally couldn't help covering her stomach and burst out laughing. This Meng Liangdong is so cute. I didn't see that he had such a sloppy side before. It seems that love really makes people stupid.

Drawn back by Lin Yuan's laughter, Mo Sanniang rolled her eyes, walked up to her in two or three steps, poked Lin Yuan's forehead with her long fingers, and hummed, "It's all your fault! You have to be funny! , look, look, did you fall? If he does something wrong, let me see how I deal with you!"

Lin Yuan held Mo Sanniang's fingers tightly in her palm, and deliberately imitated Meng Liangdong's expression and tone and said, "Good lady, don't be angry, I know I was wrong."

"Bah!" Mo Sanniang's neck was so red this time, she pulled her fingers back with all her strength, "Who is his wife, don't talk nonsense!"

"Sooner or later!" Lin Yuan looked at the silver hairpin on the counter, "Look, they bought you a silver hairpin as soon as the wages were paid. I said why didn't I see Mr. Meng in the store just now?" , I am going to buy you something good. Hee hee, he is such a good man."

Mo Sanniang pouted and said nothing, but gently picked up the silver hairpin and looked at it carefully, then carefully put it away with a handkerchief and put it in her bosom.

Lin Yuan looked at her with a funny face, went over and took out the silver hairpin: "Oh, Sister Mo, why did you put it away? Put it on quickly!"

Mo Sanniang's ears were as red as a lovesickness bean, snatched the silver hairpin from her hand, lowered her head like a mosquito buzzing and said, "Isn't there on the head?"

"How can this compare with the one given by Mr. Meng? You have to say that Mr. Dai Meng just..."

and many more!

What's with Mo Sanniang's hesitant expression?Is it possible...

Lin Yuan looked up at the hairpin on Mo Sanniang's head. It was emerald green, but the quality of the jade wasn't very good, but it was decorated with a small plum blossom, which was really cute and beautiful.

"Oh!" Lin Yuan suddenly realized, "So this is also a gift from Mr. Meng! Haha, let me just say, why are you willing to put away that silver hairpin, Sister Mo? It turns out that the two of you have already..."

Lin Yuan winked her eyes on purpose, the meaning was self-evident.Mo Sanniang quickly pulled her back and explained: "Sister, don't talk nonsense, I, Liangdong and I have nothing."

As she spoke, Mo Sanniang lowered her head shyly.It was the first time Lin Yuan saw such a delicate appearance at Mo Sanniang's place. It was so cute that people couldn't help but go up to her and pinch her rosy cheeks.

Stop teasing her, Lin Yuan sat down and got down to business: "Sister Mo, don't you think Mr. Meng has no house and no money?"

No wonder Lin Yuan was worried. Ever since Meng Liangdong sold the family shop to her, he really had nothing left, not even his own house, and lived in the shop's counting room every day.In addition, he has no money and has only knowledge but no use for it. Would Mo Sanniang really not mind?Even if she doesn't mind, isn't there still her parents?Mo Sanniang is the youngest daughter in the family, pampered by her parents, and loved by her eldest sister, how can she see her live a hard life?

Mo Sanniang shook her head, her tone was flat and natural: "What's the use of having so much money? He works as an accountant at your place, and I run this cloth shop here, so our life will definitely not be difficult. As for the house No, it doesn't matter, we can buy it ourselves, Liang Dong told me, the wages he received there in the past few months have not moved a penny, although we can't buy a big house, but let the two of us live there for sure That's enough. And I've saved a lot of money now."

Lin Yuan smiled, it seemed that these two people had already made up their minds to be together, and even the future days were almost planned, so all she had left was blessings.

"Sister Mo, when the two of you get married, I will definitely prepare a big gift for you. Also, if you have any difficulties, you must tell me, and don't hide it from me, huh?"

Mo Sanniang held Lin Yuan's hand instead, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, I will never be polite to you, and I will definitely give full play to your role and help us when the time comes."

Although she knew that Mo Sanniang was only saying polite words, Lin Yuan was still very happy that they didn't treat her as an outsider.

Coming out of Mo Sanniang's cloth shop, Lin Yuan felt comfortable all over, and the unhappiness she had experienced in the past few days disappeared.Looking at the sky, it hasn't snowed yet this winter, and I don't know if it will snow during the Chinese New Year.However, the cold wind was chilly, she wrapped her cloak and hurried to Daohuaxiang.

After discussing their affairs with Mo Sanniang, a thought kept lingering in Lin Yuan's mind.When she started earning money, she planned to let her two younger sisters go to school after the new year. Seeing that the new year is coming soon, this matter can't be delayed any longer.Moreover, relying on Meng Liangdong's knowledge, it is really a shame to be a small accountant in the fragrance of rice flowers all the time.

As soon as Lin Yuan returned to Xiangmanlou, she discussed with Shopkeeper Liu where there was a suitable school for sale in Zhuma Town, and asked him to pay attention.

When Lin Yuan said that he wanted to buy a school, shopkeeper Liu was puzzled, but he immediately named it: "Master, there is an unnamed school in the south of the city. I guess it will be sold soon."

"Oh?" Lin Yuan didn't expect it to go so smoothly, she immediately became interested, and motioned for Shopkeeper Liu to sit down and talk about it.

Shopkeeper Liu sat down, sighed, and said, "Actually, that school has long been unable to sustain itself. Master, you should also know the situation in our Zhuma Town. The south and north of the city are relatively poor places, not as good as the west and the north of the city." The east of the city is rich. Therefore, there are many people in the south of the city who cannot afford to spend money to send their children to school. However, in the school I am talking about, there is a very benevolent old man who has studied a lot when he was young. It’s just that it’s not easy to test for merit. Later, when he got older and saw those children who had no money to go to school and could only wander around with their parents, he had the idea of ​​passing on all he had learned all his life, and then With this school."

"This old gentleman is the teacher of this school?" Lin Yuan felt that the situation of this old gentleman was very similar to that of Meng Liangdong.

Shopkeeper Liu nodded: "Yes, the old gentleman taught all the more than 20 children in the whole school, and it has never stopped for so many years. Moreover, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones used by the children were all taken out by the old gentleman himself. I bought it with silver. Whoever has the money to repair it, he will accept it. If there is no money, he will not rush. As long as the child goes to school well, does not go out to cause trouble, and is willing to learn something, he will not refuse anyone."

Lin Yuan couldn't help sighing: "This old gentleman is indeed a benevolent person!"

Shopkeeper Liu also sighed: "Yes, it's just a pity that this old man has no children in his family, and all the money he earned when he was young was spent on these children. In recent years, he has relied on the relief of some kind people in the city. It’s just barely supporting the school. The parents of those children are grateful to him, and they will find a way to hand in their children’s beam repairs, and no one has ever defaulted.”

Lin Yuan smiled and glanced at shopkeeper Liu: "Treasurer Liu is also one of those kind-hearted people, right?"

Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Where is the little money I gave enough? It's just a meager effort."

"The icing on the cake is not surprising, and the most precious thing is giving charcoal in the snow." Lin Yuan also admired shopkeeper Liu's friendship very much. "This old gentleman really plans to sell the school? Is he willing?"

"If you don't want to part with it, you have to part with it. He is old and in poor health. I'm afraid he won't last two years." Shopkeeper Liu shook his head sympathetically.

Lin Yuan nodded: "Okay, I'll go there another day to have a look, and if it's suitable, I'll buy this school."

Just do what you say, early the next morning, Lin Yuan asked Lin Yi to drive the carriage to the south of the city. Originally, shopkeeper Liu also planned to come with him, but he was busy in the restaurant, so he had to stay.As the end of the year approached, there were many trivial matters in each branch. Xia Zheng felt sorry for Lin Yuan and didn't want her to be exhausted. These days, he ran back and forth in various towns by himself. The two hadn't seen each other for three or four days.

The old gentleman's school is very famous in the south of the city, and you can find it just by asking around.

Lin Yuan asked an old woman. The old woman looked at her with a smile and asked, "Girl, are you here to give money to Mr. Cheng too? Oh, no need to give it. We are giving him food every day now." You don’t have to worry about him anymore. We will take good care of him.”

Lin Yuan responded with a smile, and was very curious about the popularity of this old Mr. Cheng in the south of the city. It seems that this old gentleman is indeed very popular.

Following the path pointed out by the old lady, Lin Yuan found this school easily.As shopkeeper Liu said, this school does not have a name.There wasn't even a formal gate, it was just a big yard with a dozen or so children running back and forth inside. Although their clothes were not too gorgeous, the smiles on their faces were real and sweet.

At this time, the children were chatting and laughing around an old gentleman with a hunched back, some helped him carry the stool, and some stood behind him and beat his back.Lin Yuan looked at the old man with a kind smile, and thought it was the old Mr. Cheng that shopkeeper Liu was talking about.

The warm sun in winter is very rare, but seeing the scene in front of her, Lin Yuan felt that it was even more rare than warm sun.

She got out of the carriage, and before she had time to walk over, a little boy beside her ran past her holding a big bowl.When passing by Lin Yuan, the boy turned his head and smiled at her politely. Such a pure smile was cleaner and more pleasant than the smile Lin Yuan saw in Linjiaao.

"Sir, sir, my mother just steamed the stick noodle buns, you can eat them while they are hot!" The little boy carefully held the big bowl in his hand and approached Mr. Cheng with a smile, and gave him the buns with a smile .

Old Mr. Cheng pursed his lips, nodded with a smile, raised his hand and wiped the dirty corners of the little boy's mouth with his sleeve, and then took a small piece of steamed bun from his bowl and put it on the table. He chewed carefully in his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" The little boy looked at him with big bright eyes.

Mr. Cheng squinted his eyes and nodded: "It's delicious, remember to thank your mother for me when you go back."

The little boy chuckled, pushed the bowl forward again, and said honestly: "Sir, you can eat another piece! Eat more!"

Mr. Cheng smiled and broke off another small piece, then looked at the children who were blinking at him, and said with a smile: "Sharing is a virtue, let's share these buns with your classmates. .”

The little boy tilted his head, nodded and beeped immediately, called everyone aside with a smile, and gave everyone a piece of steamed buns to eat.There were only two steamed buns in the bowl, and there were so many children, each got only one mouthful.However, although there are few, the children still eat very happily.

Lin Yuan squinted at the scene in front of her, and liked their love for each other and Mr. Cheng's constant education.

"Is there a guest?" The children all ran to the side, and Mr. Cheng narrowed his cloudy eyes and saw Lin Yuan standing in the distance smiling. Trembling.

Lin Yuan hurriedly walked a few steps and greeted her: "Mr. Cheng, hello, my name is Lin Yuan, and I was introduced by Shopkeeper Liu of Fumanlou."

Hearing Shopkeeper Liu's name, Mr. Cheng's smile deepened: "So it's Shopkeeper Liu, he's a good man!"
