Chapter 94 Thatched House, Mei Niang, Ruisheng

It's Laba again. Qiaoyu stood in front of the window and looked at the gloomy sky with thousands of thoughts.

It snowed on Laba Festival a year ago. After Qiaoyu fainted, she was sent here. When I woke up and opened my eyes, a kind face came into my eyes. Qiaoyu was in a trance for a moment and thought it was her mother. She sat up and hugged the man and cried bitterly. The woman was not annoyed, but silently patted Qiaoyu on the back to comfort her. When Qiaoyu was tired of crying, he loosened the man's arms and looked at her carefully.

She should be in her thirties. She is ordinary in appearance and clothes, but she is very kind. I guess she is a servant here.

Qiaoyu took the hot tea handed to the woman, took a few sips, and felt warm before asking curiously, "Who are you?"

The man only shook his head with a smile and said nothing.

"Miss, her name is Mei Niang, and she is my wife. My name is Ruisheng. We are the servants here. A younger and loyal man came in from the door and said respectfully.

"Oh!" Qiaoyu hesitated and didn't say anything more.

"Miss, she is mute, don't mind! She can hear it. Tell her if you need anything.

"I know."

"Miss, it's almost time. Would you like to eat?"

Qiaoyu nodded in silence. Ruisheng and Mei Niang went out together.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Qiaoyu said to herself, "This winter is destined to be very cold."

It snowed for three days and three nights before it stopped. In the past three days, Qiaoyu did not leave the room for a moment, but just ate, sat and slept. She thinks about him and misses him all the time. She didn't cry once, because she had no tears. She finally began to understand her father's feelings in those years. She clearly missed him and knew where the other party was, but she had to give up, let go, endure pain, and suppress her feelings, just for the other party to be good.

Life is extremely painful. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, today is his birthday. After today, he will be 28 years old. Qiaoyu finally summoned up her courage to walk out of the door. The snow has not completely melted, and the sun is extremely dazzling. Qiaoyu covered it with her hand. He was hesitating where to go, a group of dark and furry things rushed to his feet. Qiaoyu was shocked and took a few steps back. Mei Niang turned around from the back of the house, quickly stepped forward, picked up the ball of things, and sent it to Qiaoyu with a smile.

"Puppy!" Qiaoyu shouted happily. Take it with a smile and hold it in your arms. The puppy is still very small. He looks at Qiaoyu with a pair of cute big eyes, "How can there be a puppy here?"

Mei Niang danced for a long time, but Qiaoyu didn't understand. Mei Niang was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.

"Mei Niang, it doesn't matter. I'll know it after I ask Ruisheng."

Suddenly there was a puppy. Qiaoyu temporarily forgot her troubles and turned the whole hut with the puppy in her arms.

This is a separate courtyard built halfway up the mountain. It is all built of wood, and the outer edge is covered with thatch, hence the name. As soon as the courtyard enters the courtyard, there are nine rooms in total, but the garden behind is huge. Ruisheng and Mei Niang live in the west wing. Qiaoyu lived in the main room. Out of the courtyard door, there is a path connecting the top of the mountain and the foot of the mountain. Now there is snow, and the road can no longer be found. Ruisheng goes down the mountain every three or five days to buy some daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt. Mei Niang reclaimed a vegetable field in the back garden. In this season, she planted some radishes, potatoes and other vegetables.

The puppy's name is Snowball, which is the eldest princess of the prince, Jiaxing. Princess Zhang didn't like to keep dogs, so Snowball was fostered here. Qiaoyu felt sorry for it in the same situation as herself and treated it very kindly. This little thing is also a little spiritual. After a long time, it becomes intimate with Qiaoyu, follows Qiaoyu inseparable, and even sleeps with Qiaoyu at night. With the company of Snowball, Qiaoyu temporarily forgot her pain.
