Shi Gui opened his mouth, wanting to ask but didn't dare to ask, Qiu Niang squeezed out a smile and pushed her: "Hurry up, don't delay, your father lives in a cold and warm shop on the outskirts of the city, and the way back is not easy." ”

After speaking, he turned around and cut vegetables, picked out some small clam shells, asked Ah Zhenniang to buy a piece of tofu to cook soup, the chicken was stewed in the pot, and the fish was put into the oil pot, Shi Gui watched Qiu Niang tidy up everything in an orderly manner, so she had to cut up the bacon and spread it on half a rice, so that the oil of the bacon dripped into the rice.

"Wait a minute, you and your brother won't be at the table. Qiu Niang squatted down to add firewood to the stove, her eyes were still red just now, and she had obviously cried hard, and at this time she was already eating like no one else.

The more she is like this, the more Shi Gui doesn't dare to ask again, how did the two meet, how did it happen so coincidentally, Qiu Niang just knew that her husband came to Suizhou, and she couldn't meet her as soon as she went out, but now she didn't have anything to say except for the response, and she didn't even let her go to the table, didn't she want to see Shi Dad?

Shi Gui's heart sank suddenly, she thought very clearly, she thought of Qiu Niang's suffering from the past, but she still had hope for Shi Dad in her heart, of course he knew that Yu Pozi was wrong to toss his daughter-in-law, but filial piety made him unable to contradict his mother-in-law, so he had to compensate his daughter-in-law, this time he should always know that Qiu Niang was not easy, looking at this appearance, but the two met, but they didn't talk about it.

This time I can't ask, I was busy quickly, I took the twigs and came in to add firewood, and the fire was burning, Qiu Niang fried the fish with a spatula, fried until golden on both sides, and then braised fish with autumn oil to eat.

There are still clam eggs stewed in the pot, Qiu Niang only learned the practice, these local things are sold very cheaply, a basket does not cost much, take the scallion oil to burn, it is a snack dish, Qiu Niang learned this trick, because Shi Gui loves to eat, so he often makes it to eat, spend a few eggs, let her daughter eat better, and make up for the thin meat.

The mother and daughter didn't say a word in the kitchen, the fire was burning, the stir-fry was stir-frying, both of them were sweating, and the smell of fireworks was dyed in their hair. ”

There is a small row of jasmine flowers planted in front of the door, which is the flowering period at this time, and the fine white flowers are fragrant one by one, and two jasmine flowers are placed in the coarse tea, which is immediately fragrant.

As soon as Qiu Niang opened her mouth, Shi Gui answered, she didn't mention it, she didn't mention it: "You have to boil it earlier, the water is too hot, it's not cold for half a day, I'm most afraid of heat." ”

In the end, with a bit of coquettishness, Qiu Niang really smiled a little: "I know that you can't stand the heat, it's so hot, just add a few more basins of cold water." ”

Shi Gui saw that she was willing to speak, and he was anxious and relieved, for fear that she would not speak, so it mattered, and asked her if she didn't have a match: "How is the house repaired today?" I heard that the stove is all open, and Mrs. Xiao is cooking at home. ”

Xiao Niangzi came to the restaurant to ask for rice and vegetables, saying that it was made for the workers to eat, and it was Shi Gui who handled it, and Qiu Niang did know that she had nothing to say at this time, how could she know that she was touched, Qiu Niang was silent for a long time, lowered her head to shabu-shabu, and fried two vegetarian dishes, and then made clam tofu soup.

Shi Gui now understood where they met, and he didn't believe it in his heart, why did he meet there, but after Qiu Niang listened to the book, Qiu Niang opened her mouth again: "You go to play a corner of wine, pick up the ten papers, I will bring these eggs and porridge soup to Xizi's house, you accompany him." ”

Shi Gui was apprehensive, he went to get a drink, handed it to Qiu Niang, and returned to the room with the food.

Xizi already knew about this, the two sisters and brothers were speechless, Xizi lowered his head, and was still sleeping on the bed, Qiu Niang didn't allow him to get up, she had been afraid that Xizi had been abused and beaten over the years, and she was still young at this time, and when she was older, all the symptoms would come out, so she took a little thing seriously, Xizi held her head and sighed: "Mother and father, aren't they, not together?"

Shi Gui didn't know what to do, and he couldn't wait to fly out with his ears to listen, but looking at Qiu Niang's appearance, it must have been what Shi Dad said, which made her cold-hearted.

A table of dishes was placed in Qiu Niang's house, Shi sat at the table, watching his wife busy going in and out, sitting or standing, standing by the window and faintly seeing a girl with braids coming in and out, and then asked: "Is it our osmanthus?"

I knew in my heart that it was, which one else could there be, but Qiu Niang still didn't answer him, only waved the chopsticks and added wine to him: "You eat, go back quickly after eating, your mother is still waiting." ”

I couldn't call the word "mother" from her mouth, and I didn't even want to give the title of mother-in-law, and the stone saw her, and was speechless for a long time, and the first sentence at the beginning was that he and his mother had been looking for their mother for many days.

Qiu Niang was full of enthusiasm and was poured cold by a basin of water on her head, but she still asked, the reunion was half of it, how do you know if it is true or false, she is not like Shi Gui who is thinking about how to know the person who wrote the book, just thinking that her husband can sue her.

The stone did sue her, and she Yu Pozi stood on one leg and couldn't stand upright in the future, and she was seriously ill, otherwise they would have arrived in Suizhou a long time ago.

Qiu Niang knew that her husband was not good at words, he said so many things for the first time, but none of them were what she wanted to hear, she wanted to ask, what if it was gone? This life was given by God, if not? The family was scattered like this, would he still redeem Mrs. Yu.

Qiu Niang thought so, but when she asked, she only asked him: "What are your plans now?" The stone couldn't answer, if he could solve it, he wouldn't have been so stiff in the early years, but the more he was silent, the more disappointed Qiu Niang became, and said without waiting for him to answer: "You haven't eaten yet, come with me." ”

Bring the stone back all the way, buy chickens and fish, let him sit in the house, and leave him to think about it, and then answer her after thinking about it.

The stone waist is bent, looking at the old ten years old, the wind on the sea is blowing, going out to run the boat for more than a year, looking for a wife has endured all the hardships all the way, redeeming Yu Pozi and spending the money, how can she stand the punishment of the cage when she is old, one leg is wasted, the person is still sick, the stone works hard to treat the mother, it is not that he has not been subjected to gossip, which one of the local people does not know such a big case, pointed at him, and said that it is so ruthless, when she crosses the river, the dragon king has to send shrimp soldiers and crabs to eat her.

The dragon king didn't eat her, Yu Pozi cured the disease, but failed to heal the leg, this leg can not stand for a long time, follow the stone to Suizhou by boat, the stone on the boat to help people, to Suizhou and go to the Xirentang to see Yu Pozi's legs, to see that the legs are to touch the bones, but she said that she said that she would not let the blue-eyed people touch, saying that she had been widowed all her life, and she was old, and she couldn't let someone touch her legs.

The more Qiu Niang listened, the more silent she became, and the stone told him everything along the way, and Qiu Niang asked him: "Don't you ask, what life have we lived? Where was Xizi sold? Where was I sold?"

The stone didn't speak, he didn't want to reveal the scar, he couldn't say, what else could he say, look at this big mansion, and then look at the small courtyard that he bought, what he wanted to ask, he couldn't ask when he got to his mouth, the three of them, where to earn money to buy a house.

Shi Gui and Xizi's meal tasted like chewing wax, they didn't speak face to face, they pricked up their ears to listen to the movement in Qiu Niang's house, but the house was quiet, the two of them neither quarreled nor scolded, as if there was no one in the house at all, waiting for the sky to get dark, Qiu Niang sent the stone out.

He didn't believe that there was such a good master in the world, and he could let her go if he didn't want a penny, and when Qiu Niang was really a concubine, when Yu Pozi sold her, he took her as a concubine, and told him all along the way, and the stone was heard in Jinling City, and he couldn't eat it, but he only said that Qiu Niang found it, and the family went to Suizhou, how did he find it, and who did he find it with, no one told him in detail.

What's more, Xiao Niangzi opened her mouth and blew Qiu Niang Shi Gui into the sky, saying that the mother and daughter had done a big business, and this house was small, so maybe she would buy a three-entry mansion in the future.

Qiu Niang looked at the rags on his body and the rotten straw sandals on his feet, and thought about ransom them, and her heart softened, but as long as she thought of Yu Pozi waiting in the cold and warm shop, her heart immediately hardened again, he couldn't leave his mother, and no one could say this.

Qiu Niang didn't agree, touched eighty dollars, and put it in the stone's hand: "This is the money for digging the well today, you can come to work again tomorrow." Shi stood in front of the door of Yefu, hung his head for a long time without speaking, turned around and walked away slowly.

Qiu Niang took two steps, followed him all the way to the alley, saw him touch two copper plates and came out, bought two buns, wrapped them in oiled paper bags, and went all the way to the east of the city.

Presumably it was bought for Mrs. Yu, just now on the table he didn't move his chopsticks a few times, the chicken and duck didn't touch a single touch, only ate a bowl of tofu soup, or the original at home when Qiu Niang for him to renovate the taste, tofu is expensive, usually to eat clams touched in the river, buy a piece of tofu stew a small pot of soup.

After drinking a mouthful of soup, I couldn't raise my head more and more, I used to be a loving husband and wife, but I couldn't even speak at this time, across a table of dishes, it seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

Shi Gui withered and waited, Qiu Niang came back but didn't say a word, her eyes were not red at this time, but there was no smile on her face, the last bit of joy faded, Xizi widened her eyes and didn't dare to ask, Shi Guiqiang smiled: "My water is boiled, my mother quickly washed it, the smell of oil smoke on my body is choking." ”

Qiu Niang really took a bath and washed her hair, Shi Gui combed her hair, Qiu Niang had a good hair, which made her look young, she wanted to ask Shi Dad how it was, she saw a back through the window, tired and hard, the clothes on her body were patched, and she didn't see it, and she didn't think about it if she didn't have a soft heart, she really felt sorry for him when she saw it, and he didn't have a good clothes to wear.

Qiu Niang grabbed a handful of wet hair, closed her eyes, and held tears in her eyes: "If he comes in the future, he will entertain a meal, if he doesn't come, he will also go to see him after a month and a half." "I can't go back and forth any more than that.
