I eat wife cake on the fifteenth of every month

Haicheng is adjacent to the sea, and the town is prosperous, especially named after the silk smoke soil.

The pier on the shore came and went, coarse linen clothes, long robes and mandarin jackets, during which there were many women in cheongsams carrying small bags on the street.

Yue Ji vomited as soon as she got off the pier, who would have thought that even a vampire like her would be seasick.

"Is it still difficult?"

Yuan Nai squatted halfway beside her, looking at her retching, bloodless face, clenched her hands tightly, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief from the buttoned end of her chest, and wiped the bitter bile from the corners of her mouth.

Yue Ji's eyes were a little distracted, and she looked at Yuan Nai with a dazed expression.

It was so uncomfortable that she couldn't listen to what this woman was saying at all.

But it was the first time she saw this gentle look, and she touched it unconsciously with her paws.

Before I touched it, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Yuanna? Why are you here?"

The visitor was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam with peony pattern, with curly hair, and the glossy hairspray made it black and shiny in the sun. It could be seen that he had paid attention to dressing all the year round, but he had two big white pearls pinned to his ears, and his eyes were charming. It was gaudy at first.

There is a mole dotted under the chin, which adds a bit of wind and dust.

Yuan Nai was also surprised, stood up and looked at the visitor, hesitated to speak, and finally calmed down, "Man Yi, how have you been all these years?"

She grew up with her, and after the Yuan family was gone, the two never had contact with each other again.

"That's all right." Hua Manyi looked at the daughter of the Yuan family who had disappeared for three years, not only did not have the downcast state of family decline, but she was even more pleasant.

It's really different.

It's also the decline of the family, so Hua Manyi can only be reduced to prostitution, wasting her years every day.

Hua Manyi sighed in her heart, and her eyes fell on the little radish next to Yuan Nai's leg, "Is this your daughter? It doesn't look like it."

A girl with a western face, although her bones are excellent, there are also some oriental shadows in it, but compared with Yuan Nai's appearance that was born from the gentle water town, there is no resemblance at all.

What's more, this age doesn't seem to match.

"I'm not her daughter." Yue Ji blurted out a sentence in Chinese, which frightened Yuan Nai and Hua Manyi.

"I didn't expect that she could speak Chinese." Hua Manyi smiled, and wanted to touch her head, but Yue Ji bluntly patted her off.

Leaning on Yuan Nai's hand, Yue Ji stared at this woman with complicated eyes.

For a vampire, the smell of powder on this woman's body is so strong that it can suffocate a person to death. If her woman is stained with this unpleasant powder smell, let's see if she won't break her legs!

Yuan Nai was very sorry and said to Hua Manyi, "Don't worry, her adoptive parents are not very kind to her, and her personality is like this."

Yue Ji: "..."

As the sun rose higher and higher, more and more people came and went, making it lively and noisy.

There are a row of white houses on both sides of the stone road. Hua Manyi took Yuan Nai and Yue Ji to a house rental office, "This is Sister Zhang, she should have a house on hand to rent to you."

Sister Zhang was tall and fat. When she saw the business coming, she was overjoyed at first, but then her smile disappeared when she saw Yuan Naijian was still carrying an oil bottle.

He asked without much ups and downs, "Isn't it the cheapest to rent? Then there are only a few damp rooms on North Street, five silver dollars a month,"

Yue Ji stood in front of her, her eyes slightly displeased.

It was a kind of contempt from the bottom of my heart.

Yuan Nai also felt the underestimation inside, and his face was slightly embarrassed, but he still asked, "Is there a well-lit and ventilated building?"

Sister Zhang looked at her shabby look, and was about to sarcastically say something, but considering that it was Hua Manyi who brought her, she gave her some face, "Yes, but it costs eight silver dollars a month, you can afford it." ?"

"Is this pound enough?" Yuan Nai took out a one-pound sheet from her bag. She had seen these pounds in the business transactions her father did, and they should be comparable to the silver dollars here.

But she just doesn't know much about the exchange rate of these banknotes. She grew up rich and well-clothed, and her family has no worries about food and clothing. Even if her home was ransacked three years ago, she was as destitute as a bereaved dog and had no chance to know how these wages and money were.

There is no other reason. When her family was defeated, she was taken back to that bunker by that woman, and she also had no worries about food and clothing...

If it wasn't for that person...

Yuan Nai didn't know what to think of, and his expression darkened.

"Enough is enough," Hua Manyi took her words, "One pound can be exchanged for 10 silver dollars, and there is an extra two dollars."

The British pound is not used frequently here. After all, one pound is equal to 10 silver dollars, while ordinary weaving and spinning workers only use 20 silver dollars a month. Ordinary people use copper dollars, and 200 copper dollars are equivalent to 1 silver dollar. Such a big face value to buy a vegetable meat.

But compared with the silver dollar, its value is relatively stable.

Usually it is the banknotes used by foreign devils to do business, but it is a bit strange for a little girl in Yuannai to have pounds.

Sister Zhang snatched the pound directly, and carefully looked at it from both sides, "Where is the extra two yuan? The remaining two yuan is used as collateral. If something goes wrong, who do I ask for judgment?!"

In the end, Yuan Nai chose a south-facing house, with one bedroom and one living room, a small kitchen, and complete furniture. Every morning, you can feel the smell of sunlight shining in.

Hua Manyi went back, Yuan Nai took Yue Ji into the house, and cleaned it back and forth.

Of course, Yue Ji just watched from the sidelines.

Seeing her picking up the quilt on the bed and taking advantage of the hot noon sun to dry it, she asked a question about what firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea are, "Isn't this quilt dry? What are you taking it out for?"

Yuan Nai struggled to put the quilt on a bare bamboo pole in the yard, "Sun drying can remove mold and kill bacteria, the important thing is..."

She paused, "It will smell like sunshine after drying."

Yue Ji took the sun thoughtfully, and watched the warm light shine on her skin that was too white all the year round. She was burned before, but when she became strong, she no longer felt the sun.

"Then you like the smell of sunshine?"

Yuan Nai nodded, but didn't see Yue Ji behind her, whose face was gradually becoming ugly.

No wonder she wanted to leave her life and death, since she didn't dry out the quilts in the bunker, it was a big part of the reason, because they were all replaced with new ones, so there was no smell of sunshine.

After tidying up, it was about noon when the temperature became hot, and there were many beads of sweat on Yuan Nai's forehead, and his body was also a little sticky.

"Nana, here it is."

Yue Ji handed her her handkerchief to her naturally, but it was the "Nai Nai" that frightened Yuan Nai quite a bit.

"You, what do you call me?"

Due to the etiquette cultivated since she was a child, she didn't ask loudly, but her expression was particularly surprised, as if she was frightened, and there was a lot of fear in her eyes.

Nana, only when that woman wants to see herself will she call herself like this, and even more excessively, this double word will become extremely lustful.

She still can't face up to this title.

"Nana." Yue Ji showed a child's expression, her eyes were extremely innocent, "Is there anything wrong?"

The tone was childish, Yuan Nai breathed a sigh of relief, it was just the same name, she made a fuss.

He recovered his mood and put on a straight face, "Call me sister, Xixi, you have to call me sister, I'm older than you."

older than me?Nowhere is it older than me, it's young enough, oh no, it's older than myself.

But that's not an excuse for her to take advantage of her.

"It's impossible for me to call your sister, give up, Nana." Yue Ji forced the handkerchief into her hand, and her eyes signaled her to wipe it quickly.

"No, you have to call me sister, or you can call me sister Yuan, you can't mess up your seniority, no big or small."

Yuan Nai couldn't accept the title reminded himself at this moment, and his tone became serious, "If you don't call me, you don't have dinner tonight."

"It really is." Yue Ji sat on the edge of the bed and drooped her head, her tone sounded aggrieved and accusatory, "If I don't give me food tonight, I will probably be kicked out tomorrow."

"I, I don't." Yuan Nai was speechless, wanting to step forward to comfort her.

"You have." Yue Ji wiped away the illusory tears again, and continued to lower her head, "I called you Nana because I don't want to feel inferior to others, and it's not good for my child's physical and mental growth."

The words were clear, Yuan Nai saw Yue Ji crying and believed in her heart, "I'm sorry, it's my first time raising a child, I don't understand, you forgive my sister, you can call me if you want."

"Oh, you said it." Yue Ji regained her expression, and patted her on the back to comfort her, "Knowing your mistakes can make a big difference."

Yuan Nai: "..."
