After all, Zhao Qingzao has done things in the Yamen, so what dishes do the people in the Yamen like to eat, Zhao Qingzao knows the tastes of the catchers very well.

Seeing that a few catchers had been playing with Xiaocao, Zhao Qingzao asked while chopping vegetables: "Do you have nothing to do?" If the master sees it, a few of you will be scolded. ”

"The master and the county master went out to do errands, so a few of us dare to be lazy. One of them muttered quietly.

It turned out that the master and the county master were not in the yamen, no wonder these catchers would be lazy here, taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Qingzao planned to inquire about some things, so he asked a few catchers: "What are the county masters and masters going out to do?" There seem to be a lot of outsiders in our town, do you know what's going on?"

"What else is going on, it's because of the war, life is unstable everywhere, so everyone is moving around, trying to find a stable place to live, it's for this reason that there are a lot of unknown outsiders in the town, and the county master and master are worried that something will happen, so they go out to visit those outsiders. Xiao Yu quickly looked around, and after making sure that there were no outsiders, he said to Zhao Qingzao.

"That's what happened, I don't know when this battle will end. Zhao Qingzao sighed, thinking that now that the war is in chaos, she still stays in the town honestly, don't go anywhere, otherwise she may have an accident halfway.

Because everyone knew about Chu Xingshan's going to be a soldier, so a few catchers talked about Chu Xingshan, they were all worried about what would happen to Chu Xingshan on the battlefield, thinking that Chu Xingshan promised that he would definitely write a letter back, but they had been away for so long, and there was still no letter, Zhao Qingzao was also a little uneasy in his heart.

"Is it really dangerous on the battlefield?" Zhao Qingzao asked as he put down the kitchen knife in his hand.

"Of course it's dangerous, the enemy army is all brutal barbarians, and we lost a lot of soldiers in this battle. There was a quick catcher who immediately said to Zhao Qingzao.

After speaking, several other catchers hurriedly covered his mouth and comforted: "Sister Qingzao, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, Brother Chu will definitely have no accident." ”

Thinking that Chu Xingshan was fighting on the battlefield, Zhao Qingzao was not in the mood to cook, although after making a few dishes, she took Xiaocao home, she and Chu Xingshan were like brothers, so it was normal for them to be so worried.

After returning home, Xiaocao saw that Zhao Qingzao had been sullen all the time, so he shook Zhao Qingzao's arm and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, grass. Zhao Qingzao said to Xiaocao with a wry smile.

Now only Xiaocao is by her side, Shen Changting ran away, Grandma Niu died, and Chu Xingshan also went to be a soldier, and now life and death are unknown, so only Xiaocao can rely on her in this world.

After speaking, Zhao Qingzao hugged Xiaocao tightly in his arms, although Xiaocao didn't know what was going on, but he could also feel that Zhao Qingzao was very unhappy, so he let Zhao Qingzao hold him, and reached out and patted Zhao Qingzao's arm to comfort Zhao Qingzao.

Seeing Xiaocao's sensible behavior, Zhao Qingzao smiled faintly and hugged Xiaocao in his arms tighter.

Two years later

Xiaocao is three years old, usually not only helps Zhao Qingzao do things, but also can read and write, Zhao Qingzao has been doing some small business to make money in the past two years, and unconsciously made a lot of money, but as Xiaocao grows up, Zhao Qingzao's life is getting more and more difficult, because Xiaocao always wants to find Shen Changting, and also said that Zhao Qingzao promised him, he must do it.

Zhao Qingzao was able to deal with Xiaocao at first, but after dealing with it a few times, Xiaocao didn't believe her anymore, and kept asking Zhao Qingzao to take him to Biancheng.

"Xiaocao, don't make trouble, it's still a war now, how can we go to Biancheng?" Zhao Qingzao regretted a little, because he was annoyed by Xiaocao, so Zhao Qingzao said that he leaked his mouth and told Shen Changting about Shen Changting's affairs in Biancheng, causing Xiaocao to go to Biancheng to find Shen Changting every day.

"Mother, we won the battle, and there is no war outside. Xiaocao said to Zhao Qingzao angrily.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao pressed his head, thinking about how to deal with his son next.

"Mother, if you don't take me to Biancheng to find my father, then I will go to Biancheng with the little bean next door, his father and mother are going to visit relatives in Biancheng, I can just go with them, as long as you tell me my father's address." Seeing that Zhao Qingzao didn't speak, Xiaocao knew that Zhao Qingzao still didn't agree to take him to Biancheng, but Xiaocao had already thought of other awards, so he took this opportunity to say to Zhao Qingzao.

After listening to what Xiaocao said, Zhao Qingzao didn't know what to say, and after a while he said to Xiaocao: "Xiaocao, why can't you be like other three-year-old children? What are you doing so smart? ”

After speaking, Zhao Qingzao didn't care about Xiaocao, turned around and walked out to do things, seeing this, Xiaocao stomped his feet angrily, and muttered: "I'll go to Biancheng to find my father by myself." ”

Zhao Qingzao thought that Xiaocao was just talking casually, and besides, Xiaocao didn't even know where Shen Changting lived, so how could he go to Biancheng to find someone?

As a result, Zhao Qingzao had just walked into the house, but found that Xiaocao was gone, thinking of what Xiaocao had said before, Zhao Qingzao chuckled in his heart, and immediately ran into the house and opened the cabinet.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly, Xiaocao's clothes were gone, and it seemed that he was really packing his luggage and going to Biancheng to find Shen Changting.

Zhao Qingzao didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ran to Xiaodouzi's house next door in a panic, wanting to see if Xiaocao was at Xiaodouzi's house.

As a result, Xiaodouzi's father and mother didn't see Xiaocao at all, but Xiaodouzi, who usually plays with Xiaocao, was a little weird, and after seeing Zhao Qingzao, he hid in the corner, looking weak-hearted.

Little Douzi's father and mother also noticed his abnormality, so they twisted Little Douzi's ears and asked him to tell him what happened.

Xiaodouzi's ears were twisted and hurt, so he cried and said: "We laughed at Xiaocao for not having a father, Xiaocao said that his father was in Biancheng, we didn't believe it, and then he packed his luggage and went to Biancheng by boat." ”

Hearing Xiaodouzi say this, Zhao Qingzao's heart ached suddenly, no wonder Xiaocao has made such a big fuss these days, it turned out to be because of such a thing, although I really wanted to teach Xiaodouzi this ignorant child in person, but thinking that Xiaocao was now running to the dock to take a boat, Zhao Qingzao didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ran to the dock to find Xiaocao.

"Xiaocao, where are you? Come out quickly! My mother promised you to take you to Biancheng to find your father, okay?" After Zhao Qingzao ran to the dock, he looked at the dock where people came and went, and he was about to cry, so he could only say loudly.

Seeing Zhao Qingzao anxious and crying, the passers-by next to him all turned their heads to look at Zhao Qingzao, and Zhao Qingzao couldn't care about it so much, as long as she could find Xiaocao, it didn't matter how embarrassing she was.

"Mother, will you really take me to Biancheng to find my father?" At this moment, Xiaocao suddenly appeared behind Zhao Qingzao and asked her.

Hearing Xiaocao's voice, Zhao Qingzao quickly turned around, and after seeing Xiaocao carrying a big burden, Zhao Qingzao immediately rushed to Xiaocao's face, and without saying a word, he hugged Xiaocao in his arms and said: "Mother promised you that I will take you to Biancheng to find your father in two days, my mother will definitely not break her promise this time, you don't run around anymore." ”

"Mother, I believe in you. Xiaocao said to Zhao Qingzao with a smile.

After returning home with Xiaocao, Zhao Qingzao asked Xiaocao to promise himself not to run around anymore, after Xiaocao put the burden on the table, he nodded and promised Zhao Qingzao, but Xiaocao seemed to want to leave for Biancheng immediately, so after resting for a while, he asked Zhao Qingzao to pack up his things quickly.

"Xiaocao, didn't my mother say that she would take you to Biancheng to find your father in two days? Now there are still many things to deal with, how can you leave the affairs at home and leave it alone? You should be sensible as a child, and you can't be so willful anymore. Zhao Qingzao frowned and said seriously, Xiaocao ran away from home without saying a word today, which already made Zhao Qingzao very angry, plus this time he was really going to Biancheng to find Shen Changting, Zhao Qingzao was even more panicked.

Zhao Qingzao had never been to Biancheng at all, and she didn't know what Shen Changting's identity was in Biancheng, and when the time came to go to Biancheng, how would she find Shen Changting? If Shen Changting had already married other women and had her own children, what should she and Xiaocao do? Xiaocao was already looking forward to meeting Shen Changting, if Xiaocao was allowed to see such a scene at that time, would Xiaocao be able to withstand it?

"Mother, I know, I will be obedient, you must take me to Biancheng to find my father. Xiaocao also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and lowered her head and said to Zhao Qingzao.

Hearing Xiaocao say this, Zhao Qingzao touched Xiaocao's head, and then went to deal with other things, because he would leave for Biancheng in two days, so Zhao Qingzao had to clean up the things at home.

Now there is no war, so Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao can also set off for Biancheng, thinking that after Chu Xingshan left, there has been no letter, Zhao Qingzao sighed helplessly, Chu Xingshan doesn't know whether he is dead or alive now, and now he has finished fighting, if he is still alive, why not come back? Could it be that Chu Xingshan is really dead?

Thinking like this, Zhao Qingzao has no intention of doing things, no matter what happens to Chu Xingshan after he goes to become a soldier, Zhao Qingzao only hopes that he can live well.

"Xingshan, where are you? Xiaocao and I are going to Biancheng to find Shen Changting, I don't know where he lives, and I don't know what his identity was in the past, the people in the village couldn't find any news of him when they went to Biancheng before, can Xiaocao and I really find him?" Zhao Qingzao propped his hands on the table weakly and muttered.

Two days later, Zhao Qingzao and Xiaocao packed up their things, came to the dock with the silver ticket, and prepared to take a boat to Biancheng to find Shen Changting.
