28. Can't go anywhere

Du Ruo came back with a lot of worries, ate a few bites, and stayed by the window until dark, washing and sleeping. Even though the charcoal fire was strong, there was no human nature stove, and it always felt a little chill. Du Ruo found that it would be difficult to quit once he developed some habits, such as a human-shaped stove.

The next day, Du Ruo came together and found that Lu An was coming. He couldn't help but come. He also brought two unfamiliar mothers to see Du Ruo and saluted: "This is the Little New Year, and I'm so happy to pay my respects to my second grandma early."

Du Ruoxin said that this New Year greeting requires red envelopes. Then he thought, Lu An is the butler of the Lu Mansion, and he can still lack money. If he gives him less, he will not look down on him. If he gives him too much, he will not be able to squander. With her little family fortune, she couldn't help but squander. She turned her eyes and decided to pretend to be stupid. Then she coughed: "I guess the mansion is busy during the New Year, so why is the butler free to come here."

Lu An: "The mute lady followed her boy and couldn't come back for a while. During the Chinese New Year, I thought that you were too busy here, so I brought two people to you. Although these two mothers are not as good as the mute lady, they are not stupid. Master, please make do with it for a few days. If you are not satisfied, I will change it to you."

The two women squatted down and said, "Please pay tribute to the second grandma."

Du Ruo: "I appreciate the kindness of the butler. I am guarding the tomb on the mountain here. There is no need for anyone to serve you. During the New Year, the mansion is busy. I think it is short of staff. I should take these two mothers and housekeepers back."

Lu An: "There are some more people in the mansion this year, and there is no shortage of manpower." He instructed the two of them to move the things in.

Only then did Du Ruo see two ox carts parked in the open space there. The two women were over fifty years old, but they were very strong. They brought everything over in a short while, including rice, flour, grain, oil, chicken, duck, fish, and even bedding, decorations, tents, etc.

The two mothers moved the things into the house and started to pack up. The shop should be hung. Du Ruo looked at Lu An: "Bullshit, this?"

Lu An: "Isn't this the Chinese New Year? The people's homes are fresh inside and outside. Second grandma, you have to clean up even if you are on the mountain."

Du Ruo: "There are so many things in the mansion, and the butler is busy with everything he wants, and he is still thinking about me."

Lu An: "No need to worry or not, second grandma, just give me instructions on what you want. I'll send it to you now."

Du Ruo: "I didn't expect it for the time being, and I will notify the butler when I think about it."

Lu An: "If the second grandma doesn't have any instructions, the servant will take his leave first." She turned around and went.

When he left, Du Ruofang returned to the house. These two women were indeed capable. After a while, they changed their appearance. Du Ruo almost thought he had walked into the wrong house.

The wide bamboo couch was replaced with new bedding. The coarse cloth quilt was replaced with soft satin with weaving flowers and brocade. The mandarin ducks played in the water were vividly embroidered. There were also tents hanging on the bamboo couch. There was also an incense burner with both ears and beasts on the bamboo table opposite. There were two books on the bamboo rack made by a bull on the wall. Du Ruo went over and looked at it and it turned out to be a storybook.

Du Ruo took one and said, "Where did this book come from?"

One of the mothers said, "The butler said these books were to relieve the second grandma's boredom. If the second grandma likes to wait and see them back, she will send two boxes."

Du Ruo: "The butler is intent." As he said that, he handed the furnace to Du Ruo and then cleaned it up.

There were thick cushions on the bamboo chairs I often made by the window, and there was a big hairy chair back at the back, which made it much more comfortable to lean on them. Du Ruo held a script in his hand, leaning against the chair while watching while drinking tea. There was a scent of fragrance in his mouth, which was not something that could be brewed by the wild tea tree in his yard.

The two mothers are indeed capable, but in just half a day, not only inside and outside the house have become much more neat, but also have good cooking skills and are attentive to serve people, so they can't find any mistakes.

At night, there is no need to think about adding charcoal to fire by yourself. The two women took turns to work on night, serving the charcoal to deliver tea. Even if Du Ruo turned over in the middle of the night and coughed, he would come and take a look.

Since these two mothers came, Du Ruo has become a semi-disabled. She is free from clothes and food. She is bored and either reads books or is dazed. She can't use her needlework. These two mothers are not only diligent but also know how to do everything. After a few days, Du Ruo changed new ones from head to toe from inside to outside, and the materials are the best.

If it weren't for the faint green mountains outside the window, Du Ruo would have doubted whether he had worn them again.

It snowed on New Year's Eve, and it was extremely snowing. Large swaths of snowflakes fell down, feeling like they were covering the sky and the sun. After a while, a thick layer of them accumulated on the mountain road.

Du Ruo has no idea about the New Year. For her in the past, having to be a guest in the New Year to maintain customer relationships means being busier. In fact, the rhythm of the city has turned them into gyroscopes, turning around every day and not stopping for a moment. If you stop, you may be gone. The New Year is also a luxury. The only way to relieve stress is to go to the bar with your best friend to have some wine, look at the handsome guys, and fantasize about it. I think this kind of life can only be considered.

But who knew that as she thought about it, it became real, but there was also fake inside the truth, which made Du Ruo quite confused. After eating, chatting with the two mothers for a while, she went to bed and lie down. It was windy and snowy outside, so sleeping was the best choice.

It's really gossip. These two women are very strict and seem to obey their own words, but if they want to find out something from their mouths, it's absolutely impossible.

But after sleeping until midnight, Manniu came back. When Manniu came back, Du Ruo didn't think of sleeping again. It was only seven days, Manniu was like a man who hadn't seen meat for eight hundred years. He had to stop until dawn. Du Ruo was exhausted and could not even open his eyes. However, the physically energetic Manniu still had no sleepiness. He held Du Ruo in his arms and asked her: "Have you gone down the mountain?"

Du Ruo nodded.

Manniu asked again: "What are you doing when going down the mountain?"

Du Ruo: "Store around casually."

Manniu: "Su Ming said you went to Yuqingtang?"

Du Ruoxin said that the surname Su was really big-mouthed. He probably came out of Yuqingtang and then went to report the news.

Du Ruo: "Yes."

Manniu was silent for a while: "Su Ming said you go to Yuqingtang for treatment."

Du Ruo was a little impatient and opened his eyes: "What do you want to ask? I'm going down the mountain and my menstrual period is not adjusted. Can't I go to Yuqingtang to find a doctor to treat me?"

Manniu: "Although Su Ming's medical skills are not as good as his cousin, they are not bad either."

Du Ruo knew what he meant, simply said, "He is too young, I don't believe him."

Manniu was silent for a long time and said, "If you are tired of living in the mountain, you can move down the mountain."
