Chapter 237 Red Mole
However, Lin Jiaojiao didn't stay so carefree for long, and she put the veil on her head again.
Looking at the new arrangements made in the yard, which made the small courtyard even more crowded, she later asked why there was a screen surrounding it.
Only then did I realize that the screen was where she had her meals, and it was very different from the environment outside the screen.
She didn't want this, she just wanted to treat them to a nice meal together, without her acting superior and feeling like she was showing off.
Seeing that she had become quiet again and was sitting behind the screen without saying a word, Lan Jiu felt bitter in his heart, but he could not indulge her in this regard anymore.
Let the master know that punishing him is the smallest thing and not allowing her to go out is the biggest thing.
He could only see her when she went out and needed his help.
Lin Jiaojiao found that this trick didn't work, and she immediately became deflated and pouted unhappily.
However, as a child, her temper came and went quickly. Looking at the food that kept being served on the table, she stood up happily and walked out from behind the screen.
I found that the two shabby dining tables outside were also full of food. Because the tables were small, the plates were stacked on them.
She was satisfied and quickly shouted into the house, "Xiaotang, it's time to eat. Bring your sister and brother out to eat."
Tang Xiaotang and the others were sitting together in a room. The room was very empty and there wasn't even a bed.
There was only straw covering the ground, with some worn-out clothes and a neatly folded worn-out quilt spread on top. This was their big bunk bed.
There was also a shabby window facing the courtyard, but no one dared to peek outside.
They only knew that the footsteps behind them increased, and many people came. The smell of meat wafted in from behind. They swallowed unconsciously, and someone's stomach rumbled.
They heard her screams, but no one dared to move first.
Lin Jiaojiao thought they didn't hear it, so she took a step forward to the window and looked inside through the part of the window that was not covered with paper.
The children inside were sitting on the straw with their legs crossed. Because the light was dim and there were many people sitting there and they were all staring at the window intently, her eyes met theirs, which scared her.
But she soon recovered and waved towards you.
"It's time to eat. You must be hungry. Come out and eat."
In the end, it was Tang Xiaotang who stood up first and opened the door. Lin Jiaojiao heard the door open and hurried to the door again.
"Little Tang's meal is ready, quickly call them out to eat."
"Well, thank you, sir."
"You're welcome."
Lin Jiaojiao was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable, so she went back behind the screen and called Lan Jiu in with her.
Tang Xiaotang saw that except for the area blocked by the screen, the two dining tables in front of her were filled with delicious food.
She thought of last night's dinner and felt sad. She quickly adjusted her attitude and quietly asked her sister and brother to come out for dinner.
When all the children in the house came out, they were stunned by the rich food in front of them, feeling like they were dreaming.
She looked at them, as if the food was really edible. She smiled and nodded. The children immediately became silently excited, sat quietly on the stools, and began to eat carefully.
The young man sitting next to her picked up a chicken leg for her. She looked at the tender chicken leg in the bowl and her thoughts became more determined.
She must make a name for herself.
Lin Jiaojiao had already taken off her veil and started eating. She asked Lan Jiu to sit down and eat with her, but he refused and said he would just eat what she left later.
She didn't understand why it was okay for them to secretly sit down and eat together when there were only the two of them here, and she wouldn't complain.
She had no choice but to eat faster, and put some of the dishes she thought were delicious into the empty bowl next to her.
At first Lan Jiu thought that she was eating it slowly, but when she finished she couldn't wait to ask him to come to the table and eat, and handed the bowl full of vegetables to him.
"I think these dishes from Lan Jiu are delicious. Hehe, I picked some for you. Come and try them."
After she finished speaking, she held up her chin and looked at him. He felt embarrassed being looked at, so he pretended to be calm, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, reached out to pick up a piece of pigeon meat from the bowl and slowly put it into his mouth.
"It's delicious, thank you, sir."
She received his approval, her eyes sparkling, "You're welcome. Eat more if it's delicious."
Afterwards, the two of them fell silent. Lan Jiu ate silently while Lin Jiaojiao watched him. As she watched, she noticed a small red dot at the end of his eyebrow.
She reached out her hand unconsciously, slowly touched the red dot, rubbed it a few times, and found that it could not be wiped off.
"It turned out to be a red mole."
Lan Jiu's body trembled slightly when she touched him, but he tried his best to restrain himself. Reason told him to leave immediately, but he couldn't bear to give up the warmth at the end of his brow.
He wanted to sink into it.
However, Lin Jiaojiao withdrew her hand after hesitating for a few seconds and then lay down on the table.
"Sleepy."
She had been feeling a little sleepy earlier, and now she felt dizzy after dinner and wanted to sleep.
Lan Jiu immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and said softly: "Master, let's go back home now."
She lay on her arms and thought for a while.
"Wait a minute, finish your meal first."
"I'm done eating."
She looked up at the food in his bowl in disbelief, then lay back down.
"You haven't finished eating yet. You have to finish the food in your bowl."
When she said this, she felt a little proud in her heart. In the past, her mother always criticized her for the leftovers, but now she can criticize others.
Lan Jiu smiled helplessly at her tone, continued to pick up the bowl and chopsticks, and quickly ate the rice in the bowl and the dishes she had picked.
"This time, I'm done eating."
"So fast?"
She raised her head again and looked at the two empty bowls in front of him in surprise. He had indeed eaten everything.
But she didn't want to move at all now. When she thought of the winding alley, she really didn't want to walk now.
"How about taking a nap here...?"
Lan Jiu looked at her and made suggestions in a low and unconfident voice, holding her chin and tilting her head so that the hair in front of her forehead was almost hanging down to her mouth. He really wanted to help her tuck this strand of hair behind her ear.
He lowered his eyes, bent his fingers slightly, and his voice was dry and hoarse.
"I've asked the servants to bring a sedan chair over. Sir, you can take a rest in it."
"A sedan chair?"
"Yes."
Lin Jiaojiao stood up suddenly, but just as she walked to the screen, she remembered that she was not wearing a veil, so she immediately picked up the veil hanging next to her and put it on. Lan Jiu helped her tie the ribbon, and he kept his eyes down the whole time.
But she didn't pay attention to it, her mind was on the sedan chair outside the door.
As soon as he had finished tidying up, she stepped out from behind the screen and found that the children had already finished eating and were standing side by side under the eaves.
They were all very nervous when they saw her come out.
Although the food was rich, they didn't dare to eat too much. They just finished the rice in their bowls and stopped eating, so there was still a lot of food left on the plates on the table.
When Tang Xiaotang saw that she was about to leave, she immediately led the children behind her to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, sir. I have no way of repaying your kindness. If you need my help in the future, I will do everything I can for you, even if it means going through fire and water."
"Thank you, sir."
"Thank you, sir..."
Lin Jiaojiao smiled and nodded. She didn't take Tang Xiaotang's words to heart. She was in a hurry to go back to sleep.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. I'm going home now. I'll come play with you guys when I'm free."
She waved at them, then tugged at the sleeve of Lan Jiu who came out with her, looked down at the purse on his waist, then raised her head and signaled with her eyes with raised eyebrows.
Lan Jiu didn't understand what she meant. He took off the purse from his waist and threw it towards Tang Xiaotang.
Tang Xiaotang reached out to take it. It was heavy, just like her heart. The burden on her became heavier.
"Sir, this..."
"It's not much money, you guys use it first, um... it's my donation to you."
That's what it should be said, right?
When the time comes, I will tell my father about this and ask him to donate more. Anyway, my father said that all the money he earns now will be left to her, which means that his money is her money.
"Oh, right, you don't need to pay me back for the medical expenses I mentioned earlier. They're all donated to you. Haha... I'm going home now. Goodbye everyone."
She yawned, feeling even sleepier, and hurried out the door.
Seeing that there was indeed a sedan chair outside the door, he could not wait to sit on it and dozed off. The two guards who were also sedan chair bearers saw that everyone was seated, and after receiving Lan Jiu's instructions, they lifted the sedan chair steadily and walked quickly and steadily towards the exit of the alley.
Tang Xiaotang came to her senses and ran out with her purse, but she could only see their backs. She clenched the purse in her hand and couldn't calm down for a long time.
