Chun Niang noticed that Mo Xiaohe's face was different, for fear of causing misunderstanding, Gu Zheng was something she had known before, and their dart walkers passed by the small shop and always came to take care of the business. In my impression, Gu Zheng rarely communicates with others, and always sits alone in the corner eating noodles and drinking.

At that time, Chun Niang also thought that if she looked so ugly, there would definitely be no woman willing to marry, unless she couldn't live anymore and was betrayed by her father, who would want to marry a beast-like strong man, facing it all day long, and it would make people collapse when they thought about it.

She softened her breath just now, and she also wanted to use her beauty to put a few words out of Gu Zheng's mouth, Chun Niang felt that she had failed Xu Tietou, and she rushed to ask, which was very shameless.

"I'll go to the back kitchen first, it's cold, let's have a bowl of hot and sour soup, sweat and drive away the cold."

Chun Niang smiled at Mo Xiaohe, with a playful and imperceptible sarcasm in her eyes, as if to say, "That is, you, who have never seen the world, treat ugly men as treasures!" ”

She Chunniang just likes Xu Tietou, has the ability to make money, has responsibility, and the key person is handsome, if she wears a satin shirt and a folding fan, no matter how she looks like the son of a rich and noble family, Gu Zheng will forget it.

Before Chunniang went out, she glanced at Mo Xiaohe curiously, such a beautiful little lady, it's a pity, isn't it a little daughter-in-law who was bought? I don't know if the husband and wife will wake up in the middle of the night and see the scar on Gu Zheng's face when they wake up in the middle of the night and scream out loud and have nightmares.

The rain fell on the roof tiles, crackling, and the light rain that had just stopped was about to stop, and it tended to get heavier again.

Mo Xiaohe pushed open a window, the back hall of the shop faced the small alley where the people lived, some houses lit dim oil lamps, and Korean paper through the shadows, in this rainy night, became blurred.

sighed faintly, this kind of weather is indeed not suitable for rushing, if she is not in a hurry to go back, they will not copy the path, walk through the mountain road, bumpy and bumpy, Mo Xiaohe is very tired.

"Lady."

Instinctively, Gu Zheng noticed that his lady was not in a good mood, and thought about how to explain it, go to the toilet, and go through this utility room, he came out and met Chun Niang, who was already waiting here, and as soon as the other party spoke, he was blocked by the lady.

"Husband, what is the relationship between Chunniang and Brother Xu?"

It is said that what men are most afraid of is women's intuition, because it is just one word, quasi! When the group of them entered the door, Chun Niang's eyes made her see that it was unusual, and at the dinner table, Mo Xiaohe was embarrassed to ask, and it happened that her cousin made an excuse and asked her to come over and have a look.

It's not that I don't believe in my husband's vision, but since I have the heart to match Xu Tietou and my cousin Mo Daya, I have to find someone who is not burdensome, innocent, in case of mercy everywhere, with my cousin's situation, I can't control it, and I will be hit by a second injury when the time comes, so it is better to live by myself, leave the man, be lonely, and it's not that I can't live.

"The two of them are from the same village, and they grew up together since childhood, so they are childhood sweethearts."

Xu Tietou and Chun Niang set up a marriage, and then due to changes in the family, the two families retreated, Xu Tietou had mentioned it to his brothers before, and he had always regarded Chun Niang as his sister, so he often took care of the business of the noodle restaurant when he passed by.

"Don't break the thread, right?"

Mo Xiaohe found that he was a little afraid of widows now, the widows of Da Wu, who were fiercer than tigers. People are selfish, after the death of a man, he will always think about the rest of his life, from the perspective of Chun Niang, the pursuit of happiness, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

"No, it won't."

Gu Zheng said categorically, Chun Niang's man, after two or three years, Xu Tietou knew this news for a long time, with his person, if he had ideas, he would immediately put it into action, and it couldn't be delayed until now.

"So, he thought my cousin was good, and he came along."

Mo Xiaohe nodded thoughtfully, took Gu Zheng's clean hand, and the husband and wife returned to the lobby one after the other.

A large pot of steaming hot and sour soup has been brought up on the table, and when Mo Daya saw the two, she quickly stood up and greeted them, filled two bowls, and praised, "The chef's craftsmanship is really good, sour, spicy, salty, and fragrant." ”

Hot and sour soup is a dish in the north of Dayue, in the city lord's mansion of Licheng, Mo Xiaohe often drinks, that will be no appetite, just made a hot hot and sour soup, she drank and blow, a bowl of soup drank the stomach, the body sweated slightly, very enjoyable.

Mo Xiaohe scooped it with a spoon, and there were shiitake mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, carrots and shredded tenderloin, as well as tender tofu, a few mixtures, she took a sip, and actually found the taste of Dayue.

"The chef of our noodle restaurant is an authentic Dayue person."

Chun Niang took a few side dishes and came out to brush her sense of existence, she greeted warmly, "You see, chili, potatoes and eggplant, stir-fried after oil, this is a famous dish in Dayue, three fresh." ”

"Boss, you're busy, we don't need to say hello here."

Mo Daya said a few polite words, clearly pleasing Chunniang, and Xu Tietou focused on looking at the bowl and did not speak, Chunniang saw this, and became more and more convinced that the two might have something to do with each other, she bit her lip aggrievedly, and stood aside with red eyes, like a delicate flower ravaged by wind and rain.

"Cousin, you drink more."

Mo Xiaohe saw that his cousin's bowl was bottoming out, and added another night, Mo Daya rolled her eyes, wondering in her heart that her cousin usually looks like a very domineering person, why is she so cowardly today? The widow kept coming this way, but she didn't have a good heart, but she did it.

The kitchen action was swift, the dishes and noodles were quickly ready, and several people were also hungry, bowing their heads and putting down their chopsticks, occasionally praising each other, sandwiching vegetables with each other, and they were all busy eating, and no one paid attention to Chunniang, which made her very embarrassed.

"Bang ......"

There was a quick knock on the door, "Boss, you haven't closed yet, have you?" I see that the noodle shop is still lit up, and I want to buy hot and sour soup! ”

"No business today!"

Chunniang was upset, heard a knock on the door, and couldn't control her emotions for a while, "Go back, come back tomorrow!" ”

However, the knock on the door did not stop, it was very persistent, bang, bang, hearing that Chun Niang's heart was even more chaotic, she opened the door from the inside irritably, looked at the door, and rushed up angrily, "If you say you don't do business, you won't do it, won't you go to someone else's house?" ”

There was a mother-in-law standing at the door, although she was wearing a sleek robe, her body was still dripping with rain, she moved her feet uneasily, shivering with cold, and put on a stiff smile, "Our lady has no appetite, it's cold, I want to drink your hot and sour soup, can you ......?"

Before the words fell, she was interrupted by Chun Niang, she was holding her breath in her heart, Xu Tietou came to the store to eat, and he had never brought a woman by his side, in case he got married, what should she do, be small? Upset, Chun Niang must have no good attitude, and replied, "Can't ......"

Mo Xiaohe was eating noodles, and when she heard the movement at the door, she didn't care at first, and then listened to the woman's voice, which was very familiar, the other party was obviously not from Dawu, and she spoke with a northland accent, or from Licheng.

Thinking of this, Mo Xiaohe suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, just the moment she and her mother-in-law looked at each other, the mother-in-law also saw her, no longer begged for the beggar Chunniang, and as soon as she turned around, she ran into the dark rainy night.

"Mama Liu!"

Despite the embarrassing description, Mo Xiaohe instantly recognized that this mother-in-law was serving by her mother-in-law's side Mrs. Gu, and when she was in Licheng, Mama Liu rarely showed up, she had been in charge of the treasury of the city lord's mansion, which showed that she had won deep trust.

How could Mama Liu, who was supposed to be in Licheng, suddenly appear? Thinking that her husband met the person sent by the city lord, she immediately understood that she couldn't care so much, so she followed and ran into the rain.

Mo Xiaohe ran, Gu Zheng also stood up, "There are some family matters to deal with, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back tonight, there is an inn opposite, you go and settle down after dinner." ”

After explaining, Gu Zheng grabbed a hat and hurriedly went out, leaving only Xu Tietou and Mo Daya, who had not reacted on the spot, and the two looked at each other and sat at a table, not very comfortable.

Family matters to deal with? Who is that person? Mo Daya held her cheeks, Gu Zheng's life experience, she knew a little, but she didn't know much about it, in short, her background was not low, she probably hated the mansion's deception, so she was willing to live in the town with her cousin.

Xu Tietou didn't think so, he thought, maybe the husband and wife had the intention to create an opportunity for him and Mo Daya to be alone, so they had just discussed it in the interval between going to the toilet, I have to say, it seemed to be quite interesting.

Xu Tietou Mo Daya has their own thoughts, two pairs of chopsticks just clamped on a piece of potato, the two glanced at each other, secretly competed, did not give in to each other, due to excessive force, the potato flew out in a parabola, and fell to find Xu Tie's head cover almost Chunniang placket, which was stained with a large piece of oil......

Outside the door, Mo Xiaohe followed Mama Liu into the rain, wearing a small alley, she covered her head with her hands, and shouted loudly as she ran, "Mama Liu, I saw you, don't run, stop!" ”

How dare Mama Liu stop, if the young lady sees it, in case of leakage, tell those who are chasing from Licheng that their wife will definitely die! In the end, there is only a dead end.

Gu Zheng listened to the voice to identify the direction, and soon came to Mo Xiaohe's side, seeing that the corners of his lady's skirt were full of water stains and mud spots, he wiped the water on her face with his hands in distress, and put a hat on her, "You just ran out like this, you must be cold." ”

The winter rain was accompanied by a small north wind, Gu Zheng didn't say that it was okay, as soon as she said it, Mo Xiaohe also felt that the soles of her feet were cold, she shivered and pointed to the front, "Husband, Mama Liu ran ahead." ”

"I know."

Gu Zheng was very calm, without any emotion of surprise, his face was unwavering, he stared ahead, and then patted his back, "Come up, I'll carry you." ”

"But ......"

Through the dim light under the eaves, Mo Xiaohe saw her husband's bottomless black eyes, and she couldn't say what she originally refused, so she obediently climbed on his back and accompanied him in the rainy night.

Here, Mama Liu saw that there was no one around, so she went around and stood at the door of a house, she went out, locked the iron door, and saw that there was no one around, so she opened the black iron cable above with trembling hands.

At this moment, Gu Zheng took Mo Xiaohe and flashed in directly, and Mama Liu stood in place in a daze, and it took a long time to find her voice, "Less...... Master. ”

"It's cold, let's go first."

Mo Xiaohe sneezed, and when she saw that the room in the courtyard was still lit, she pushed the door and walked in. Gu Zheng was a man after all, standing outside the door, waiting for his own lady to beckon, he slowly walked in.

There were two charcoal basins in the house, the temperature was very high, the windows were not open on rainy days, and it was full of the bitter taste of decoction, on the bed, Mrs. Gu was lying weakly, and when she saw Gu Zheng and Mo Xiaohe, her emotions suddenly became excited, and she was about to struggle to get up.

"Madam, wait a minute, the old slave will help you."

Mama Liu wanted to step forward, but when she saw her dripping clothes, she was afraid that she would wet the bed, so she stopped in place.

"Mama Liu, you go and find a piece of my clothes for Xiaohe to wear, it's cold, and she's soaked."

Mrs. Gu held the head of the bed, slowly moved and sat up, her face was a little pale, her lips lost their blood, her hair was scattered and draped, and she lost her former elegance, "A woman's family is not as good as a man, if she is cold, she will fall ill in the future." ”

"Yes."

Mama Liu agreed, and took Mo Xiaohe to another room to change clothes, in the room, only the mother and son were left, the atmosphere became silent for a while, and the sound of wind and rain outside the window became clearer.

Seeing the biological flesh and blood that she had been thinking about, Mrs. Gu had mixed feelings in her heart, in such a cramped small room, the mother and son were speechless, she didn't know what to say.

The son knows her secret, and must think that she is a lowly woman, so he looks down on her, right? In fact, when she left Licheng, she was prepared for the worst, and everything that happened now was pushing her step by step towards the cliff, and she had no way out.

Those people, the ghost is not gone, chased from Licheng to Dawu, and did not give up, how did she forget, his husband is cruel, selfish, bloody, in addition, the same hands and eyes are all over the sky, I am afraid that everywhere, there are his eyeliners.

In the city lord's mansion in Licheng, no matter how good it is, it is just a bird cage, and she, even the canary that is raised, still canary is not liked by the master, more than 20 years, she endured it for more than 20 years, until she met the drama barley, she knew that she was just an ordinary woman who needed to be pampered.

Rather than die lonely, it is better to escape, Mrs. Gu planned for a long time after Gu Zheng and Mo Xiaohe left, she set up a small Buddhist hall, copied scriptures every day, and did not ask about the world, until she found an opportunity to escape and find barley, which was their agreement.

Along the way, from Licheng to Dawu, there was too much bitterness, just a few days ago, they met mountain bandits and robbed them of their money, and she was also frightened and couldn't afford to get sick.

The mother and son were silent, and neither of them would speak first, until Mo Xiaohe changed his clothes and remained in this state.

"Husband, there is a stove next door, you wring the water on your clothes and bake it dry."

is not in a hurry to speak, and his husband can't express it, so he can only make the atmosphere awkward. Mama Liu went to boil ginger brown sugar water, and when she had just changed her clothes, she made a long story short, so that Mo Xiaohe basically knew a rough idea.

The reason why they didn't find an inn was because their money was robbed by the mountain bandits, and in the end, there was only one hundred taels of silver tickets left, which was hidden in the embroidery on the upper of the shoes by Mama Liu, and after they bought a small courtyard, there was not much left.

Da Yue people often pass by in the border city of Dawu, so the Da Yue people who come and go to buy houses are not conspicuous, and after they discuss, they decided to make a living here. The mother-in-law, Mrs. Gu, was frightened, and because of the water and soil, she couldn't afford to get sick, so Qingli followed the troupe to sing in several towns below the border city, and she didn't return until tomorrow. "Mother-in-law, are you okay?"

Mo Xiaohe blinked, did not mention Mrs. Gu's sadness, but cared about her body, "I just told Mama Liu, I will also make hot and sour soup, as long as there are ingredients, let's buy some materials, and I will make them for you." ”

What attitude to use to treat her mother-in-law, Mo Xiaohe is not sure, her husband hides his emotions very deeply, presumably his heart is more complex and entangled, so everything follows his heart.

In the days of Licheng, Mrs. Gu was not thin on her, and before leaving, she prepared gifts for everyone in her family, valuable medicinal materials, and secretly gave her tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, no matter what considerations, Mo Xiaohe should return one or two.

"You lie down and cover the quilt."

Mo Xiaohe stepped forward, helped Mrs. Gu to lie down, and looked around, there were no furnishings in the house, except for the teapots and bowls on the table were new, and the rest of the boxes and cabinets were left by the previous owner, and they looked like they had been around for many years.

Mother-in-law escaped in Licheng, the bitterness along the way can be imagined, but I don't know why, Mo Xiaohe's distress is her husband, blood is thicker than water, biological mother, abandonment was not intentional back then, but a last resort, and then I have been looking for many years, Gu Zheng still attaches importance to this family affection in his heart!
