After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 107 Returning Home (33)
After Tong Jia told Tao Junle that she had to live in the same room with Yang Jixia, unexpectedly, Tao Junle did not get angry, but accepted it very calmly.
This surprised Tong Jia very much. Even Yang Jixia, who came with his clothes and luggage, did not expect Tao Junle to have such an attitude.
Walking to the door, he asked quietly, "Le Le really didn't react at all? Did you two completely break up as siblings, or..."
"Ah!" Tong Jia raised his hand to slap Yang Jixia's crow's mouth, but his speed was not as fast as Tao Junle. He used all his strength and stepped on the instep of Yang Jixia, causing Yang Jixia to scream in pain.
Even the diners who were eating in the front hall heard the shouting. Guo Xin winked at Tian Ma, and Tian Ma closed the door leading to the backyard from the front hall with an aunt's smile on her face.
After the door closed, they could still hear Tian's mother saying with a smile: "The affairs of this young couple are the same in every family. Beating is love and scolding is affection. Everyone should be understanding and considerate."
Tao Junle, who had originally had no expression, glared at Yang Jixia fiercely after hearing what Tian Ma said. Even Guo Xin, who was standing in front of him with a box, was not spared.
Not only did he give me a cold stare, but I was also bumped into.
He was completely unprepared, and because of the collision, the strength in his hands loosened, and the two boxes fell to the ground at the same time.
But neither of them fell to the ground. Instead, one fell on Yang Jixia's right foot and the other fell on Guo Xin's left foot.
The two of them were in so much pain that they quickly pulled their feet away.
The box was actually full of gold. Both of them had a look of pain on their faces, but there were guests dining in the front hall. No matter how painful it was, they had to endure it and not cry out loudly.
Fortunately, the box was of good quality and did not fall apart even after falling to the ground like that.
Tao Junle looked at the two of them, then at Tong Jia, and used sign language to say, "Sister, is this his luggage?"
Tong Jia nodded, and Tao Junle picked up the two boxes and walked towards his room.
Because Guo Xin and Yang Jixia had both lifted the box and knew how heavy it was, they were shocked by Tao Junle's supernatural powers. Not only did they forget their own pain, they also did not notice that Tao Junle had entered the wrong room.
After the two of them recovered, they took Yang Jixia's few luggage to Tong Jia's room, but they did not find the two large suitcases.
Guo Xin limped out to find Tao Junle, but found that Tao Junle had already walked to the door.
He quickly asked, "Le Le, where did you take those two boxes? Why didn't I see them?"
Tao Junle closed the door, took off his shoes, got on the bed, and pulled open the bed curtain. He saw a small door behind the curtain. After opening the small door, he was directly in Tao Junle's room.
It was the first time that Tong Jia knew there was such a mechanism between the two rooms.
She looked at Tao Junle in shock and asked doubtfully, "When did you discover this? Could it be..."
She wanted to ask Tao Junle if he had come to check on her while she was asleep, but she felt she couldn't say that. She didn't trust him, so she changed her mind and said, "Could it be that you secretly chiseled it yourself? How could I have slept so soundly that I didn't hear any sound?"
Tao Junle gestured in sign language and said, "I discovered it on the first day I moved in, but the switch is not on my side. I can't get to it from my room, I can only get to it from your room."
Men and women should not touch each other. For my sister's safety, she will continue to live in this room. When Brother Yang comes in, he will pass through here.
My bed is big enough, so you can just sleep with me.
"Haha, my dear Lele, your discovery is great!" Tong Jia was very happy and excited. She went straight to the bed and hugged Tao Junle, who was between the two rooms. Tao Junle was so embarrassed that his ears turned red.
After seeing this switch, Yang Jixia also breathed a sigh of relief.
He also felt awkward having to stay in the same room with Tong Jia.
Now it’s okay, it’s a pleasant surprise.
but……
"Since we live separately, where should we store this box? Why not just store it in the secret room?" Yang Jixia thought of another reason for letting him live with Tong Jia, looked at Guo Xin and asked.
Guo Xin thought for a moment and said, "That won't work. You can't put all your eggs in one basket.
Lele is always in the room anyway, why not just put it in Lele's room..."
After saying that, he looked at Tong Jia tentatively, fearing that she would think that he made such an arrangement because he did not trust her.
Without further explanation, he watched Tong Jia's reaction nervously. If she was unhappy, he would just stick to the original plan.
Tong Jia didn't care at all. She had offered the gold voluntarily after discovering it, so it didn't need to be kept in her room. She felt even more relaxed.
He nodded in agreement without any displeasure, "I think so too. Lele is often in the room and is a child. It is difficult for most people to imagine that we would put money in Lele's room.
Actually, when I think about it this way, I think the confidential documents in our secret room can also be placed in the Lele House.
Then put some rice, flour, grain, oil, a small amount of gold, medicinal herbs, etc. in the secret room.
Even if the secret room is discovered, those things are not afraid of being checked.
As for how to hide the things in Lele House, you two will need to use your brains."
Although Tong Jia could put all the things into the RV at the critical moment, she still wanted to test the intelligence of Guo Xin and Yang Jixia.
The two of them quickly came up with a solution - they hollowed out the kang in Lele's room, put all the important documents and valuables inside, covered them with kang mats, and spread bedding on them so that they could not be seen at all.
But in this case, I dare not heat the kang. Sleeping on it in winter, it would be really cold.
Although it is spring now, it is still very cold in the north. The kang cannot be heated, so it is no different from sleeping directly on the ground.
After Tong Jia and Tao Junle watched Guo Xin and Yang Jixia busying around, they finally moved everything in the secret room to Tao Junle's room. She took out a brazier from under the bed in her room like a magic trick.
It might be due to the constitution of Rong Xintong's body. She particularly liked kangs in her previous life, but now she can only sleep soundly on a kang for a maximum of seven days. If she sleeps any longer, she will definitely have a nosebleed.
So, she always slept in bed.
Before, she didn’t feel cold when she was sleeping next to Tao Junle’s kang. But now that Tao Junle can’t heat the kang, she feels that she needs to prepare for heating in advance.
When others saw her take out the brazier, they thought it was prepared for Tao Junle and Yang Jixia, but when they saw how seriously she was making the fire, they stopped being so conceited.
But Tong Jia's behavior also reminded Guo Xin.
He said, "I see there's a small stove in the kitchen. You can make do with that tonight.
I'll go out and buy a few more stoves tomorrow morning.
Put one in every room without a kang so that no one will be suspicious.
Okay, you two tell Lele the current situation in detail, I'm going back upstairs to clean up."
When the bun shop closed in the evening, Guo Xin had finished cleaning up and came down to eat.
Everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor, eagerly waiting for him.
Except for Diao Ren and Xiao Ting who were looking for the wages, everyone else wanted to know if there were any other instructions or tasks from above. Even though they knew they couldn't tell others in front of them, they would be happy as long as Guo Xin gave them an affirmative look.
During the meal, except for Tong Jia, Yang Jixia and Tao Junle, everyone looked at Guo Xin with anticipation.
He lived up to everyone's expectations. After dinner, while paying everyone their wages, he vaguely mentioned to his people that there would be a meeting the next day. Of course, the specific time of the meeting would depend on when Tong Jia took Diao Ren and Xiao Ting out.
Tong Jia did not waste any time. After dinner, she quietly called Diao Ren and Xiao Ting out separately.
She said: "Before Lao Guo was away, it was Diao Ren who was busy in the store.
Now that he's back, you two don't have to stay in the store every day.
Tomorrow, you two will go out with me and buy some things..."
“Madam, I don’t want to go shopping. The work in the kitchen is too busy, and the people in the front hall are not lively either. It is difficult to help godmother in time.
Let Lele and Brother Diao go with you, I'll just wait for you at home." Before Tong Jia could finish, Xiao Ting refused.
Diao Ren, who had originally wanted to agree, began to reflect on whether he had not done enough to help his godmother with work because of Xiao Ting's words. Moreover, considering his previous experience of helping Diao Yongting to please other women, he felt that all women like shopping...
So, he said, "Madam, how about I stay in the kitchen to work tomorrow, and let my godmother and Xiaoting go shopping with you, I..."
"What do you mean by 'you'? Neither of you can stay here. Come shopping with me, both of you.
I finally managed to convince Lele not to follow me, so you two better not let me down." Tong Jia rejected Diao Ren's proposal unhappily.
Diao Ren and Xiao Ting asked at the same time: "Why not take him?"
Tong Jia sighed and said helplessly: "The day after tomorrow is Tian Ma's birthday. I am thinking that you two are her godsons and daughters, and I am often taken care of by her.
It's her birthday, and other people may not express their gratitude, but we three can't not express our gratitude, right?
Let's go out together tomorrow and see if there's anything she needs. Xiaoting, you're attentive and can help her think about it.
Diao Ren, you are strong and can carry things for us.
Then we can give her a surprise the day after tomorrow, isn't that good?"
"Okay, okay, that's great! Madam, you are so thoughtful. Xiaoting and I will go tomorrow. Just call us when to go." After Diao Ren knew the reason, he agreed on behalf of Xiaoting.
Seeing that neither of them refused, Tong Jia waved her hand and let them leave.
She thought to herself: It's really helpless to deal with someone who is determined to get to the bottom of things. I have to go to Tian's mother to get some information, so that Tian's mother won't let anything slip when chatting with them.
Unfortunately, she was one step slower than Diao Ren.
Diao Ren didn't ask Tian's mother directly whether the day after tomorrow was her birthday, but he kept asking her in a roundabout way what she liked.
Tian's mother, not understanding the situation, joked, "I live here with my boss. I have food and drink, and I don't lack anything.
What do you really need? I still need a daughter-in-law. Can you find one for me?
When Diao Ren heard this, his whole face turned red, even to his ears.
Tong Jia felt that if Diao Ren hadn't grown hair, his entire head would have been red.
Diao Ren was so embarrassed that he wanted to stand up to cool down, but he didn't expect to see Tong Jia standing at the window as soon as he stood up. His neck was even red, redder than the face of a person who had drunk alcohol, and it seemed like it was about to smoke.
Diao Ren guessed that Tong Jia came here probably to ask Tian Ma what she liked. He was worried that if he stayed any longer he would be exposed and ruin the surprise they were going to create for Tian Ma the day after tomorrow, so he found an excuse to leave and let Tong Jia go to communicate with Tian Ma.
Tong Jia glanced at Xiao Ting, who was lying on the kang, not knowing whether she was really asleep or pretending to be asleep, and pulled Tian Ma to a place where they could not be seen from the window while they were talking.
While asking loudly, "Mother Tian, since the bun shop opened, you've been busy with all the work in the kitchen. Is your waist okay? Can you bear it?"
While using Morse code to type her plans for the next day and the day after tomorrow and the reasons for coaxing Diao Ren and Xiao Ting to go out in Tian Ma's palm.
Mother Tian immediately understood why Diao Ren had asked her what she wanted.
She gave Tong Jia a reassuring look and said, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired. There are so many people helping me, and there's no heavy work for me to do.
Although there is a lot of work to do in the kitchen, it is not heavy.
As for my waist, it’s an old problem.
Lie down on the kang at night and warm yourself up and the pain will go away.
Madam, don't worry, it won't delay your work."
Tong Jia patted Tian Ma's hand, told her to get some rest, and then left.
At this time, Yang Jixia and Tao Junle were standing at the door of the room, stamping their feet and waiting for her. Tong Jia saw that the two of them were still shivering under their cotton jackets, so she took a few quick steps, grabbed Tao Junle's hand, rubbed it in her own hand, and blew on it to warm it up.
Feeling the cool touch of Tao Junle's hand, Tong Jia asked, "Are you two stupid? The temperature difference these past two days is huge. The temperature at night is no different from winter. Why are you two standing at the door instead of going back inside?"
"He said that if you don't come back, I can't just enter your bedroom." Yang Jixia blew on himself and rubbed his hands, answering with a little grievance.
"Okay, okay, stop talking here and go into the house to warm up." Tong Jia hurriedly took Tao Junle and Yang Jixia into the house.
Sure enough, without the kang next door, the temperature in Tong Jia's room was obviously colder than in the previous few days.
But she had a secret weapon. There was an electric blanket, a hot pack, and a thick duvet in the RV. The other two people were not having a good time.
After entering the room, Tao Junle went straight to the bed, opened the secret door beside the bed, and motioned for Yang Jixia to come in.
Yang Jixia sighed and could only carry his shoes and go through the secret door.
He also wanted to kindly give Tao Junle a hand and ask him to come over as well.
But Tao Junle closed the secret door directly. After cleaning up, he chatted with Tong Jia in sign language for a while before leaving Tong Jia's room and returning to his own room.
