Chapter 8:
Early the next morning, Fu Yunruo picked a few lettuce from the ground and a winter melon. He went to the pork stall and bought a catty of spare ribs. He took the 20 eggs from Aunt Mei’s house last night and carried the baby. Riding a donkey to work.
She already knew Lu, so she didn't let Aunt Mei send it again.
Today she rode a little faster and reached her destination in twenty minutes.
The car stopped in front of the iron door, she took out the key directly, looked at the keyhole, and felt that one of the keys was more suitable, so she opened the iron door with it.
Sure enough, Fu Yunruo opened the door and pushed the donkey in.
She came very early, and it was only around seven o'clock when she arrived. The later the temperature was higher, and the daylight was early in summer, and she got up early, so she came here earlier.
She put the car away and put the dishes in the kitchen refrigerator in two trips.
When Fu Yunruo came out of the kitchen and entered the living room, he was distracted by the extra wooden baby bed.
The small rectangular wooden bed is about 1.5 meters long and 70 or 80 cm wide. It is covered with a thick layer of soft cushions and even small pillows and quilt covers. It is very new and clean.
The surroundings of the bed are surrounded by railings, which makes it difficult for a baby over a year old to "escape".
The small wooden bed has been looking for years, but it is kept very well and intact. The four feet are equipped with rollers and can be moved.
Yesterday, there was no such bed. I found it specially. Is it for the baby?
Fu Yunruo couldn't help but think.
She recalled the attitude of Uncle Guo towards their mother and son yesterday, which can be said to be very perfunctory and ignored.
Looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be the case?
Uncle Guo walked out of the flower garden with wet mud on his black boots. He should have gotten up early in the morning to water the flowers.
He went to the faucet to clean the mud from his shoes, walked into the living room, and saw Fu Yunruo staring at the small bed in a daze, feeling uncomfortable for a moment, but still sternly said: "There are dusty things in the house. Use it, throw it away when you don't need it."
"Thank you Uncle Guo!" Fu Yunruo turned her head, and immediately showed a big smile, "Wen Wen and I both like it for use."
She remembered that Aunt Mei had said that Uncle Guo had no children and no daughters. This baby carriage was probably asked for someone to come, and a set of clean cushions was carefully laid.
Fu Yunruo was touched, since she came to this place, she felt too much kindness.
All the malice encountered by the original body is like the things of the previous life, too far away.
Uncle Guo continued to keep his face straight.
He walked to the side and pushed open a door on the right side of the living room, "Here will be where I will rest at noon, how I want to clean up."
Fu Yunruo walked over and looked curiously.
The room is very small, with only a small bed measuring 1.8 meters long, a small wardrobe, a small table, a mat on the bed, and curtains hanging on the glass windows.
Except for the baby's things she left here yesterday on the table, nothing else.
The little house was clean and empty.
Fu Yunruo was very happy. Uncle Guo looked very uncomfortable, but in fact he was stubborn and soft. It was not convenient for her to take the children here, so she thought of everything for her.
She gratefully said: "Uncle Guo, thank you!"
Uncle Guo didn't seem to be accustomed to accepting other people's gratitude. He glanced at the baby whose fat hand was exposed behind Fu Yunruo, then turned his head and left.
Fu Yunruo put the baby down and said happily: "I thought Uncle Guo was very uncomfortable, but I didn't expect others to be so nice!"
But she felt that she was the blessing of the baby, she said, her baby is the most lovely in the world, how could someone dislike the baby?
After Fu Yunruo was happy, put the baby on the bed, then packed up the baby's things and prepared to put them away.
Chi Wen stretched out his hands and feet, feeling very surprised in his heart. Looking at the old man's attitude towards him yesterday, he thought he didn't like him, but he did not expect to silently do so much for them.
Seeing the woman humming with joy, Chi Wen also felt very happy. Of course, he was happy that he didn't have to stay in the stroller all the time.
This room was obviously for their mother and son to rest for two noon. The cabinet was empty, but it was very clean and there were no wormholes. Fu Yunruo folded the baby's little clothes and put them inside.
Put the bottles and jars on the desktop, and put the diapers in the drawer.
There was not much, she packed up quickly, and the room looked less empty.
Fu Yunruo turned his head to see that the baby seemed very happy in bed amusing himself.
She thought for a while, picked up the baby and put it on the small bed in the living room.
The bed here has only one summer mat, the bed board is very hard, I am afraid that the baby will be uncomfortable for a long time.
With this bed, she is much more convenient, at least don't worry about her mistaken eyes, the baby fell out of the stroller.
Although the baby can't crawl or walk yet, it's always insecure if you don't keep watching it in that stroller.
With this bed, she is very relieved.
Sometimes the baby needs to sleep. Although she will wake up quickly when she is not around, she will sleep for a while. She can take advantage of this to do something.
The children were still very energetic at this time. If Fu Yun didn't leave, he looked around to find something to do, and then he got a broom to clean the floor.
The small bungalow occupies a large area. Apart from a kitchen, there is another room on the left side of the living room. She guessed it was Uncle Guo’s room. There are two rooms on the right side. One room is temporarily used by her, and the other is vacant. Lots of debris.
Such as shovel, hoe, fertilizer, etc.
She had three keys in her hand, one for the door, one for the small room that she should use now, and the other for the door of the house.
Outside the kitchen wall, two small rooms were built for bathroom and toilet. On the other side, there was an iron staircase to the roof.
She went up and took a look. The roof was full of potted plants. Some of the stepped potted plants were empty, some of the flowers grew green, and a few were blooming.
Fu Yunruo discovered that the baby had become behaved again, she didn't have to hold it all day long, and it wouldn't make trouble anymore.
It is that every time she sneaks outside to identify the orchid species, she is always called back shortly afterwards.
Before twelve o'clock, Uncle Guo suddenly came out of the flower shed.
Fu Yunruo was still surprised when he saw it, and embarrassed: "Uncle Guo, I haven't cooked yet."
She thought that when she was almost done, she would shout and come back to eat.
She boiled winter melon pork rib soup, but it hasn't cooked well yet.
Old man Guo's expression was faint, and he snorted. He couldn't tell whether he was angry or not. If Fu Yun couldn't wait, he said: "Uncle Guo, you can help me watch Wen Wen, and I will cook a dish."
Then Fu Yunruo ran to the kitchen.
Chi Wen, who was lying on the small bed, looked at Old Man Guo with his eyes wide open, thinking that this small bed was specially obtained by him and gave them a room, so he smiled innocently.
"Hey!" Chi Wen is a person who knows how to be grateful. He keeps remembering how others treat him well.
He is a man of grievances.
Old Man Guo stood by the small bed and watched, without saying a word, without a slight smile on his face.
If he is not sure that he loves him, Chi Wen would think that he doesn't like children. Generally, children will cry when they see such a weird old man, right?
Chi Wen accepted his favor, so naturally he would not be scared. He waved his fat hands and feet to express a meaning, I don't mind if you hug me!
After entering the kitchen, Fu Yunruo saw that the ribs soup was almost boiling, so he quickly fried a piece of lettuce, then brought it to the table, set the tableware, and went to the living room to call someone.
What she saw was her son dancing and dancing in the small bed very excited, and Uncle Guo, who was standing beside him, was very stiff, as if at a loss.
Fu Yunruo laughed and walked forward to pick up the baby, "Wen Wen likes Uncle Guo very much." She gently waved the baby's chubby hand, "Is it right, Wen Wen?"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh) as if responding
Fu Yunruo's eyebrows curled up, "Uncle Guo, you can eat."
Old Man Guo didn't say anything, snorted slightly, and turned to go to the dining table.
Fu Yunruo put the baby in the stroller and pushed the car to the dining table.
Old Man Guo didn’t say anything when he saw the pot of ribs soup. When he got off work, he gave Fu Yunruo a thousand yuan in cash, saying it was the food expenses for this month, and said in a bad tone: “Lunch is included. I can afford it."
Fu Yunruo accepted it with a good temper, thought for a while, and then asked: "Uncle Guo, can I come later tomorrow?"
After only two and a half days of work, Fu Yun was not embarrassed. Actually, Uncle Guo didn't specify the time to go to get off work. She didn't think it was a big deal when she arrived early, and she had to say something if she arrived late.
"I want to go shopping in town tomorrow."
Uncle Guo said lightly: "Whatever."
If Fu Yun knew that he had agreed, he left happily.
Fu Yunruo went to town first and bought a donkey.
More than two thousand yuan is a lot of money for her now, and she is a little distressed to spend it, but this is necessary, and she can't always use Aunt Mei.
Then I went to the grocery store and bought a set of mattress covers and other bedding. I went to the street and bought some fruits, some spices, and half a catty of lean meat.
The prices in towns are relatively low. If only one thousand yuan is used for lunch, there is plenty. Fu Yunruo decided to make dinner by the way if he had time in the afternoon.
There are vegetables in the flower garden, and her old house also has melons and vegetables. The main thing is to buy spices, meat, vegetables and fruits that are not in the flower garden.
It is good for the elderly to eat more fruits.
Fu Yunruo is like a little hamster. He moved a little today and moved a little tomorrow. He soon decorated the small room warmly and comfortably, the kitchen was full of things, and the refrigerator was full.
In the living room, there are more places for baby Wen Wen.
In addition to the mobile bed, the living room also has a corner specially set up with floor mats and a lot of toys for the baby to play.
Of course this was not made by Fu Yunruo, the baby's stuff was bought by Uncle Guo.
Fu Yunruo can see it. Uncle Guo likes Wen Wen very much. The way to express his affection is to give some gadgets from time to time. Fu Yunruo said a few words intentionally, he still insisted on his own way.
After half a month, Fu Yunruo's mother and son and Uncle Guo's ways of getting along with each other became more regular, and their days became regular.
Every morning before 7:30 in the morning, baby Wenwen stays on the crib or floor mat and eats at 12 o'clock at noon.
Usually Uncle Guo came back less than twelve o’clock. During Fu Yunruo’s cooking, he stayed in the living room and looked at the baby. Although he was still watching and rarely hugged the baby, the baby became familiar with Uncle Guo and was not Will make trouble.
At six o'clock, Fu Yunruo took the child back to the old house, occasionally chatting with the neighbors.
At the same time, her knowledge of orchids has slowly increased.
Uncle Guo saw that she often went to observe the flower seedlings, and didn't say anything, as if he had completely forgotten the flowers he had said that they were not allowed to be touched without his permission.
Fu Yunruo started to study slowly.
On this day, she fiddled with an orchid plant, always feeling that this orchid was "ill".
After thinking about it, she picked up the potted plant and asked Uncle Guo.
"Uncle Guo, this orchid always feels weird, is there any problem?"
Uncle Guo was just a few meters away from her. He looked at the potted plant that Fu Yunruo was holding, took a moment of observation, and then returned to Fu Yunruo.
"What's the problem?"
Ok? Is there no problem? That was her wrong judgment.
Fu Yunruo blushed, "It's fine if there is no problem."
Old Man Guo glanced at her, "What's the problem with you?"
Fu Yunruo blushed and said, "I think the color of the leaves has changed, and I think something is wrong..."
She has been observing these potted plants a lot recently. It was not the first day to study this potted plant. She felt a little changed, and she had an illusion.
Fu Yunruo was so ashamed that he played a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and he wanted to run away immediately.
"What's the problem?" Uncle Guo's tone was not emotional.
Fu Yunruo bit his scalp and said, "Perhaps the root system is a little broken..."
Every night, she supplemented her knowledge and studied the physical signs of orchid disease. The leaves at the roots suddenly turned dark and brown, which should be a manifestation of root problems.
"Well, you go to deal with it."
When Uncle Guo finished speaking, he turned his head and walked towards the flower shed, leaving Fu Yunruo holding the potted plant in place with a dull expression.
what? What does it mean?
Fu Yunruo was stunned for a while before he realized.
Uncle Guo meant that her judgment was not wrong? Leave it to her? But she can't!
