They were joined by a middle-aged woman about their age, a woman in her fifties, and two young women in their twenties. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first middle-aged woman who said she was going back to call her man saw Ye Ziqi and asked, "What are we doing?"

Ye Ziqi said: "What do uncles usually like to eat, you know better than me, the dishes are all in the room next to the kitchen in the back hall, a few aunts and sisters will pick them by themselves, right?"

In the face of Ye Ziqi's trust, the six of them were a little confused.

"Isn't that okay?" said the middle-aged woman just now.

Ye Ziqi said: "I believe that your aunts and sisters will not step on the dishes in the house." ”

The middle-aged woman just wanted to say that she didn't mean that, but looking at Ye Ziqi's appearance, she obviously knew what she wanted to express, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Ye Ziqi saw that the six of them were hesitant, but decided to accompany them.

It's not wrong to say that the country people are simple.

obviously has a room full of dishes, and they know that these are not their own things, and they know that they are given food for free. But he didn't pick the good ones, but picked the bad ones first.

When they felt that they had picked about the same, they asked each other what they meant, but they still didn't know if it was enough or not enough, and finally looked at Ye Ziqi together.

Ye Ziqi asked, "How many aunts, do you know how many people there are in the village?"

The eldest woman thought for a moment and said, "There are almost more than 100 people, old and young, right?"

"More than 100 people?"

There are only about a dozen households in this small mountain village, and there are more than 100 people in more than a dozen households, which is really beyond Ye Ziqi's expectations.

Ye Ziqi thought about it for a while, people in ancient times were not like modern times, not to mention brothers and sisters after getting married, they were separated from their parents, even if they were only children. It is not surprising that there are more than ten people in a household with several generations, let alone in the era of ignorance of birth control.

After thinking about it, Ye Ziqi didn't dwell on the question of how many people there were in the whole village, but roughly estimated the number of people who would eat at noon: "Let's cook a meal for about 30 people!"

A few people looked at the dishes in their hands and said, "It's too much, right?"

Ye Ziqi said: "Not much, that's all." Wait a minute, I'll give it to you!"

"Okay, let's get busy first. The middle-aged woman who spoke the most said.

After a few people went out, one of the younger women said, "Uncle won't say it so much next week, right?"

The middle-aged woman who spoke just now said, "No, I think Zhou Bo trusts her." Just now, everyone wanted to stay and do things today, and Uncle Zhou decided to listen to her. ”

Another middle-aged woman said: "This baby looks smart. I still remember the water spirit when I first threw it here!"

After a few people went out, Ye Ziqi took a dozen catties of rice and went out of the house, just overhearing the conversation of several people.

Several people didn't see Ye Ziqi and continued to talk about them.

The older woman said, "Yes, there are still things she was wearing at that time, and at first glance she was the daughter of a good family." That Zhao family sisters ......"

When the woman said this, she happened to see Ye Zixu walking in front of them, and immediately closed her mouth.

Although Ye Zixu didn't hear the conversation of several people very clearly, he knew that what they said was related to Ye Ziqi, and when he saw Ye Ziqi behind them, he couldn't help but call her.

Several people turned around and saw Ye Ziqi, thinking of their conversation just now, they smiled awkwardly at Ye Ziqi, and then hurried to do something.

Ye Zixu looked at the few people who walked past him: "They?"

Ye Ziqi looked at the rice in his hand and said, "They were talking about the situation when I was just thrown here. ”

Ye Zixu followed Ye Ziqi's gaze and reached out to help her get it.

"No, I want to ask them a little bit about the past. Ye Ziqi said and walked towards a few people with the rice in his hand.

may be because of what happened just now, when Ye Ziqi walked into the kitchen, there was no sound at all.

After Ye Ziqi put the rice on the table where he was chopping vegetables, he smiled at a few people: "Aunts, sisters, I want to ask you about some things back then. ”

Before Ye Ziqi finished speaking, one of the young women said, "I don't know anything." ”

Ye Ziqi said: "Don't be nervous, you just need to tell me, you know." ”

A few people were relieved when they heard Ye Ziqi say this.

"I heard from you just now that when I was thrown here, I was wearing something unusual, what is it that is unusual?"

Ye Ziqi set his eyes on the older four.

The four of them knew that Ye Ziqi had heard their conversation just now, and there were some things that they couldn't deceive.

The four of them thought for a while, and said one after another:

"You were still wearing it at the time, I haven't seen it in terms of material or pattern, I can only say that it looks good, and I can't say the specifics. ”

"There is also a piece of jade pendant, which should be the same as the pattern of the package. ”

"There is also a golden lock. ”

"These are the three things, right?" The last man really couldn't think of anything else out of the ordinary.

These don't seem to be of much use!

"You just said that these things were taken away by the sisters of the Zhao family, is it the Zhao family we live in now?"

"The jade pendant and the golden lock should be, the package is not. The four of them felt that the Zhao family had already moved out of this small mountain village anyway, so they didn't hide it.

If the sisters of the Zhao family took it, things would be much easier.

But in order not to find the wrong direction, Ye Ziqi asked, "Did you see them take it with your own eyes?"

"Not really. The older woman said, "We just saw these things when we were carrying you here, the old mother." The jade pendant and the golden lock were taken away by the Zhao sisters, and they only learned about it after listening to the quarrel between the two sisters. ”

"How did they quarrel at that time?" Ye Ziqi didn't care to ask, there was no one next to the Zhao family, how could they hear the sisters' quarrel.

"At that time, it seemed that my sister wanted to occupy two things, and my sister wanted to be alone. Say anything to either give her the jade pendant that the chicken is not a chicken, or give her the golden lock of the strange thing with four claws, or she will set fire to the Zhao family's house. ”

Ye Ziqi knew that she couldn't ask anything useful if she asked again, so she didn't ask anymore.

"Thank you, four aunts, then you guys are busy first, and I will go over there with this Xu to boil water and wash my uncles' faces. If you need our help, just call us. ”

In ancient times, there was no electric kettle, and the pot used to cook rice and stir-fry was not clean, and it was too slow to burn with a stove, so Ye Ziqi asked Zhou Dapeng and Li Tiezhu to get another pot to boil water.

After telling Ye Ziqi what he wanted to know, the six of them were no longer as restrained as they were just now. The so-called three women in one play, there are six women here, just making up two plays. As soon as Ye Ziqi left, the six of them began to sing.

Of course, what the six people said next was nothing more than a short matter of the parents, and the only thing that was useful to Ye Ziqi was to know the names of the six people.

The older woman's name was Chen Guihua.

The middle-aged woman with a round face is called Chen Liuer.

The middle-aged woman with a square face is called Zhao Shuihua.

The middle-aged woman with a melon seed face is called Liu Fang.

The young woman with a round face is called Zhao Xiaoling.

The young woman with a goose egg face is called Chao Xiaolan.
