Her mother's generosity was really beyond Fang Erniu's expectations, she was still thinking that her mother would boil two eggs for Li Shuo to eat at most, but she didn't expect that her mother would take the initiative to kill the chicken, but when she thought that the chicken was for Li Shuo to eat, Fang Erniu felt that it was better. So she quickly grabbed an old hen with her hands and feet, and cleaned up the chicken with her mother and stewed it into the pot.

Fang Erniu sat on the edge of the stove and burned the fire, the water in the cauldron was now boiling hot, and the chicken inside also exuded an attractive fragrance at this time, which made Fang Erniu, who usually couldn't get meat at all, swallow saliva frequently.

Aunt Fang, who was busy working in front of the stove, of course saw her daughter's slander, she was a mother, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart when she saw her child like this, and after hesitating for a while, she simply picked up the chopsticks and poked the whole chicken in the pot a few times, tore off a small piece of chicken breast, and tore the chicken breast into thin strips and put it in the bowl, and took a black steamed bun and put it in front of her daughter after adding some chicken soup.

"Mother, look at the fire, I'll go and send it to Li Shuo!" Fang Erniu didn't expect that this bowl of shredded chicken soup was for herself, she also thought that this soup was for Li Shuo, who was still recuperating from his injuries, so she was going to leave after picking it up.

"You stupid boy!" Aunt Fang hurriedly pulled her daughter back, "This is for you to drink!"

"Give it to me?" Fang Erniu was very happy at first when she heard her mother say this, but she turned her head and refused after thinking about it: "Mother, I don't drink this, let's give it to Li Shuo!

Originally, Aunt Fang gave this chicken soup to her daughter to drink, and she was still a little weak in her heart, and she must have been ignorant of a silver bracelet as big as someone else's, but as soon as she saw her daughter like this, Aunt Fang's heart was a little angry, she grabbed her daughter's arm and pushed her back to the small bench and said with a tiger face: "You drink, how much can he eat such a big chicken, and this chicken is still ours!"

Fang Erniu also heard that her mother was a little unhappy, and then thought about it, this chicken was originally her own, and her mother didn't get much chicken for herself just now, so she didn't mention the matter of sending this bowl of shredded chicken soup to Li Shuo, but broke the dry black noodle steamed buns that pulled her throat into a few pieces and soaked them in the chicken soup, and finished it in a few bites.

"Isn't Niu Zi fragrant?" Aunt Fang looked at her daughter eating so deliciously, and her heart was both happy and sad, especially thinking about the hard life at home, and the children were also suffering, and her heart became more and more obsessed with the silver bracelet, as if she felt that with only that silver bracelet, the days in the family could be reversed all at once.

"Fragrant~~!" Fang Erniu licked her mouth and said, but she was a little embarrassed soon, this chicken was originally killed to make up for Li Shuo's body, and she was already a little embarrassed to eat it, but she didn't think that because this chicken soup was so fragrant, she accidentally ate it all, and she didn't even leave a bite for her mother.

But when the mother thinks about her child all the time in her heart, and seeing that her daughter is so happy to eat just now, Aunt Fang is even happier in her heart than she eats, the mother and daughter laughed in the kitchen for a while, Aunt Fang saw that the chickens in the pot were stewed, so she tore off a chicken leg and made some chicken legs, and filled a full bowl for her daughter to send to Li Shuo.

Li Shuo knew that his body was very weak now, and he also gave the Fang family a silver bracelet, he didn't push the bowl of chicken soup brought by Fang Erniu at all, he just took a sip of chicken soup when he took it, and as soon as he entered this chicken soup, he couldn't help frowning. In the past few years, Li Shuo and Li Hui can be said to have eaten all kinds of delicacies, and the Fang family's poor Aunt Fang also has a little experience in cooking meat, this chicken soup tastes fishy to drink, but there is nothing to pay attention to at the moment, not to mention that he didn't eat any hardships before he met Li Hui, not to mention that he urgently needs nutrition now, so although this chicken soup is not to taste, Li Shuo still eats it all in one go.

Fang Erniu watched Li Shuo eat up this bowl of soup and meat, this is beautiful, she is now twelve or thirteen years old, although it is not yet the age of marriage, but it is almost the same, there are even many girls like her in the village who have already been engaged, so the girls are careful Fang Erniu also has them.

Originally, Fang Erniu also felt that she would be like those young ladies around her, and let the matchmaker or acquaintances find a similar family to marry in a nearby village, but she never thought that she would meet Li Shuo, in the past, she always felt that boys were the same, with some dark skin and dirt that could not be cleaned on their bodies. But he has never seen a white boy like Li Shuo, let alone Li Shuo's outstanding appearance.

In the early years, Li Shuo was still young, and his eyebrows and eyes were not opened, so he looked relatively beautiful, but in recent years, as he grew older, his facial features have become more and more tough, otherwise this time the Fang family's father and daughter would not have known that it was a boy as soon as they saw him, otherwise he would not have left the palace in such a hurry.

Li Shuo's appearance is not to mention in this small village, even if it is placed in the high gate of the family, it is outstanding, plus he has followed Li Hui to read and write for so many years, and his temperament is no worse than that scholar, not to mention that he lived in a place like Shanyin Wangfu before, and his gestures are directly with a trace of grandeur. Such a young man will have a good impression even if those daughters see it, not to mention that it is Fang Erniu, a little girl in the village who has never seen anything in the world, and now Fang Erniu has already made a secret promise to Li Shuo.

Li Shuo didn't know about Fang Erniu's thoughts at all, he used to pretend to be a little maid in the palace every day, and the days passed can be said to be trembling, lest he leak something and be discovered by others, and now even if he is out of the palace, he is thinking about how he can quickly heal his injuries and go back, where he will pay attention to these things.

And since Li Shuo followed Li Hui, whether it was in the Liuxiang Courtyard in Jizhou or in the Shanyin Palace, none of the girls around him looked like a flower bone, even the most ordinary-looking peach back then was better looking than Fang Erniu, so for Fang Erniu, Li Shuo only had the identity of a life-saving benefactor in his heart, and there was nothing else.

"Thank you Miss Fang!" Li Shuo returned the empty bowl to Fang Erniu.

And then Li Shuo unceremoniously assigned Fang Erniu to let her buy some meat for herself, Li Hui's accounts had always been handed over to him to take care of, so he knew very well the value of the silver bracelet he gave out, and he was not the kind of person who had received an orthodox education, coupled with the suffering he had suffered when he was a child and the disguised life for many years, although it was not enough to completely distort his outlook on life and values, but it was also different from ordinary people, although the Fang family saved him, but he also gave them silver, and he also planned to wait until he left to give the upper family a sum of money, In this way, he and the Fang family are clear, after the other party took his own silver, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with arousing Fang Erniu.

Although Fang Erniu was the assigned party, Li Shuo's conversation was decent and elegant, not only did not make Fang Erniu feel that there was anything wrong, but also felt ashamed of herself in her heart. At the moment, there is no refutation of Li Shuo's proposal.

Fang Erniu found Aunt Fang and said Li Shuo's request, in fact, the Fang family saved Li Shuo, and Li Shuo was really a little unreasonable when he put forward these requests, but Fang Dahe and his wife had the heart to want to get rid of the silver bracelet, so they were a little weak in their hearts, and the value of the silver bracelet was there, and Li Shuo's requirements were all things that ordinary people could usually sell, even if it was a fraction of the value of the silver bracelet, so Aunt Fang didn't think that Li Shuo's request was a bit excessive, but she was still thinking about letting the other party ask for more, and when people finally ask about this bracelet, they can say that they have spent it all.

"Mother, I'm back~~!" Fang Shu, who was carrying a bag of multigrain noodles and a knife of meat in his hand, came back from outside, he was Fang Dahe's son, because the situation in the family was not good, he was sent by Fang Dahe to an apprenticeship in a blacksmith shop in Bahe Town, thirty miles away, when he was ten years old. Although it is said that Fang Shu is not paid to start work in the blacksmith shop, he can also take care of food and housing, and he may be able to get a reward of one or two pennies for running errands, which is already very good for a family like Fang Dahe!

"Boss, why are you back?" Aunt Fang suddenly chuckled in her heart for her son's sudden homecoming, because this time was not a New Year's holiday, and her son couldn't come back at all, she was afraid that her son had caused some trouble and was driven back by the master, but looking at her son's happy face, she didn't feel like it.

"My master's nephew got married, because it took three days to come and go back and forth because he was far away, so the family closed the shop and went to congratulate him!" Fang Shu said and handed over the knife of meat in his hand to Aunt Fang, the money to buy these things was all he usually saved, although it was not much, it was only enough to buy these things, but the conditions in the family were difficult, and now he had no teacher, and this was the only one who could help the family.

"What are you kid buying these things for! Spend money indiscriminately!" Aunt Fang took the meat handed over by her son and said very unhappily, because of Li Shuo during this period of time, the meat in the family has not been broken at all, so she looks down on these things that her son brought back, and feels that there is no shortage of these food and drinks in the family now, and it is better to leave the money left.

Fang Shu didn't know what his mother was thinking about now, he still thought that his mother was used to saving and was reluctant to spend money, so he didn't say anything, just smiled and carried the bag of multigrain noodles to the kitchen.

Of course, her son was very happy to be able to come back to Aunt Fang, so she not only followed her son to the kitchen, but also took the initiative to scoop out a big bowl of pork ribs from the cauldron for her son to eat.

"Come boss, you should be hungry after walking such a long way! Eat some bone pads first! Wait a minute, my mother will make the meat you bought!" In fact, it is really not cost-effective to eat pork ribs in Aunt Fang's eyes, not to mention that there is not much oil and water, and there is no meat in the bones, but this is what Li Shuo requested, and their family also ate and drank, so they didn't dare to say anything.

"Mother~~!" Fang Shu looked at such a big bowl of bones and meat and was stunned, he was actually very clear about what was going on in his own house, and he came back without prior notice, but how could his mother prepare this meat early.

"Mother~~~!Mother~~~!Are the bones stewed?" At this time, Fang Erniu ran in from outside, and when she saw the people standing in the kitchen, she immediately became happy: "Big brother, when are you coming back?

Fang Dahe and Aunt Fang had a total of five children, but only Fang Shu and Fang Erniu could be cultivated, and the relationship between the two brothers and sisters had always been very good.

"I just came back, this time I can stay at home for three days!" Fang Shu said and took out a red head rope from his arms and gave it to his sister, "I haven't seen my sister for half a year, and my sister has grown into a big girl!"

Fang Erniu happily took the new head rope and gestured on her head, and asked Aunt Fang while gesturing: "Is my mother good-looking?"

"It's good~!It's so good~!" Aunt Fang said happily when she saw her daughter smiling so happily, but then she felt a trace of guilt and bitterness in her heart, the family was too poor, and the poor daughter had never even worn the cheapest headband, but because of this Aunt Fang, she was even more obsessed with the silver bracelet in her heart.

"Ah~~!I forgot, have the mother's head bones been stewed!Li Gongzi, he just walked around outside, he will be hungry, I want to send him food quickly!" Fang Erniu suddenly remembered what she was doing in the kitchen at this time, and hurriedly walked to the stove, but unexpectedly found that there was already a bowl of pork rib soup next to her, she took a look and found that it was almost full of ribs, so she opened the lid and poured out some of the ribs in the bowl, and filled it with soup," Didn't my mother tell you, Li Gongzi doesn't like to eat so much meat at one time, so he needs half meat and half soup!"
