"Ah? Five cents? All right, no bargaining! Absolutely no bargaining!" Ah Chou was so forthright that he gave five cents. But the price was much cheaper than she had imagined, so Ah Chou was so busy leading Uncle Chen into the room, he whispered instructions to Uncle Chen. "Uncle Chen, my family's legs and feet are not very good. You saw it. Don't be too surprised."
"Sure, I understand." Uncle Chen nodded, he had been wondering why only a little girl, Ah Chou, came in and out of the house. That's when I realized there was someone else in the house.
"This is the Uncle Chen I told you about, who came to build a kang for our house." Ah Chou led Uncle Chen and the three of them in, and introduced to Zhong Mingwei.
"Uncle Chen. I've troubled you." Zhong Mingwei sat on the bed and nodded to Uncle Chen.
"No trouble, no trouble." Uncle Chen nodded and bowed hastily. He has seen the world, and he has seen all kinds of people, big or small. But he suddenly saw the man sitting on the bed. But he couldn't help feeling terrified. Although the man was half short sitting like this, he was watched by his pair of deep eyes. Uncle Chen's calf couldn't help but twist, it was even more frightening than meeting the county magistrate. At that moment, Uncle Chen hurriedly apologized and said with a smile, "It should be."
Zhong Mingwei nodded, and said to Ah Chou: "Girl, make tea for Uncle Chen."
"Hey hey hey! It was cooked early in the morning." Ah Chou was so busy that he ran to the kitchen.
Uncle Chen waved his hands in a hurry: "No, no, no need to trouble yourself..."
"Uncle Chen, I would like to trouble you to make something for me..." Zhong Mingwei cut off Uncle Chen's words, stretched out his hand and beckoned Uncle Chen to him, then leaned in front of Uncle Chen, and said something softly.
"Is it like this?" Uncle Chen was startled, then pointed to a chair in front of the bed.
"Yes, it's about the same height," Zhong Mingwei nodded, and said to Uncle Chen, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble, no trouble, just take care of your feet." Uncle Chen said hurriedly.
"Here comes the tea," Ah Chou came in with a large teapot in one hand and a stack of bowls in the other. Seeing the lively conversation between the two, he asked with a smile while pouring tea, "What are you talking about? It's so hot?"
Ah Chou was actually quite worried about Zhong Mingwei's temper. He must have been the prince of the East Palace for so many years, could he really become a commoner like them? Can we really live a down-to-earth and ordinary life with her? A Chou was very worried, although she never said anything, but seeing Zhong Mingwei talk to Uncle Chen so peacefully today, A Chou was really happy in his heart.
"It's about building a kang." Zhong Mingwei said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, it's about building a kang," Uncle Chen nodded hurriedly, and while taking the tea bowl that A Chou handed over, he asked A Chou, "Girl, what kind of kang do you plan to build?"
"Just try to make it as wide as possible, bigger," Ah Chou gestured, Zhong Mingwei is tall, and the kang should not be smaller. She said this, and suddenly looked at Uncle Chen cautiously, "Is it bigger? Need extra money?"
"No, no, it's just a matter of a few kang bricks." Uncle Chen waved his hands in a hurry and asked Ah Chou, "Miss, is the stove built inside or outside?"
Ah Chou hurriedly said: "Outside, outside..."
She saw it in Jixian Bookstore. The kang in Grandma Chen's room was connected to the stove, and there was a big pot beside the bed. It was said that after winter, she was too lazy to leave the house, and she usually cooks and cooks in the house. Ah Chou In fact, I think that arrangement is quite good. I don’t need to run to the kitchen in the cold and before dawn. Once the meal is ready, it can be delivered to Zhong Mingwei. Well, there is inevitably a smell of oily smoke in the room, she naturally doesn't care, she is a master who is used to living in the kitchen, but Zhong Mingwei must not be able to bear it.
"Just build it inside the house." But Zhong Mingwei interrupted Ah Chou, he said to Uncle Chen.
"That's fine, I'll go to Zhang Luo now." Uncle Chen nodded in agreement, and took the two little apprentices out to prepare.
