The wounds on Erbai's body gradually recovered under the nourishment of the golden ointment, and only some pink scars remained. The wound gradually recovered, revealing Erbai's active temperament. And Qinghe also has an extra tail behind him.

It's getting colder, and the coldest day of the year is just around the corner. On this day, Qinghe closed the door of the store early and posted a notice on the door, saying that the winter solstice was approaching, and he wanted to go to the street to buy some things for the holiday. I also posted the food specially launched in the noodle restaurant to welcome the winter solstice.

She took Erbai, who had been inseparable from her in recent days, to Mr. Teach's house to pick up Qingyang, and then bought a whole sack of flour and half a bag of cake powder, and asked the store to follow Qingyang to her home. This bag and a half cost nearly a hundred yuan, but it really made Qinghe's flesh hurt, but she still bought it very happily.

On the day of the winter solstice, there are a lot of things to sell in Xu Ji's small restaurant, first of all, the dumplings that northerners love to eat, as well as the dumplings with southern characteristics, as well as the small specialties of Qinghe's hometown, there are many things to prepare, so the store is closed for a day. Because it was evening, except for these oil and rice shops, the market had already dispersed, and they could not buy fresh meat and vegetables, so they had to buy some of them first.

Qinghe walked into a small alley familiarly, pushed open the hidden door and walked inside, shouting as he walked: "Second aunt, I'm here to buy something." ”

As soon as Qing He's words ended, there was a "creak" sound of pushing the door, and a person's head poked out of the room. As soon as he saw that it was Qinghe's round face, he smiled, rubbed his hands and came out to greet her.

Qinghe immediately pulled Erbai, told her to go quickly, and held the second aunt's left hand to let her into the house.

Qinghe saw that when the second aunt heard that she was coming, she came out without having time to wrap up the thick cotton clothes, and said a little embarrassedly: "Why is the second aunt embarrassed to let you come out to pick me up, the weather is cold, you can pay attention to your body, don't freeze." ”

"I've known each other for so many years, Xu girl, are you still polite to me?" said that his subordinates kept pouring her a cup of hot water, "I don't have anything to eat here, just drink a few sips of water to warm up." ”

The second aunt was about to pour the second cup for Erbai to drink, but Qinghe immediately stopped her.

Qing He stuffed the water he drank two sips of in his hand into Erbai's hand, and said busily: "Auntie, you are too polite, keep it for yourself." After speaking, he gave Erbai a look, Erbai and Qinghe have been together for a few days, and I don't know if it's because of the medicine, but he is much smarter than when he first woke up, and he knows how to act according to her eyes.

"Second aunt, you drink it yourself."

The second aunt lost her husband at an early age, and she worked hard to pull a pair of older children. The son got married early, and now the child can run off the ground, and the daughter also got married two years ago and is pregnant for delivery. Living alone alone, money and nothing are important, but no one talks to her, and life is strange and lonely and boring. It's rare that Qinghe often comes to see her, and after a long time, he treats her like a girl.

In the past few days, the second aunt has been busy going to her son-in-law's house to take care of her daughter, and when she goes home, she has to prepare dumplings for the winter solstice, and send some to them the day after tomorrow, and she has no time to go to the Qinghe noodle restaurant to see her. The only fly in the ointment is that the girl is a little stupid and can't afford it. So I deliberately paid attention just now, and of course I also saw Qinghe's eyes. found that the other party was not as stupid as outsiders said, quiet, and obedient. couldn't help nodding, she grabbed Erbai with one hand, patted her hand with the other, and said to Qinghe with satisfaction: "This kid is also quite well-behaved, why did he get to your house?" Do you know the roots? ”

Erbai hated strangers approaching her, and when the second aunt approached her, she wanted to leave, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Qinghe's face full of warnings, and Limak restrained herself from staying still. Resisting the idea of shouting up and down and pulling out her hand, the person in front of her was Qinghe, and as soon as the other party let go, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

Qinghe only said that he was a distant relative at home, and something happened at home, so he came to live with her for a few days. But when she came to the second aunt, she just hid it a little, and also copied the half-truths and half-truths she gave to her younger brother Qingyang that day.

After hearing this, the second aunt couldn't help but ask a little worriedly, "Did that person's brain break for you?" ”

Hearing Qing He smile bitterly and say, "It's not very clear", the second aunt thought about it and asked, "Then did she have anything on her body that could prove her identity at that time?" If this person is an ordinary person, it is easy to say, if there is any origin, it is not something that we ordinary people can bear. ”

When the second aunt was not married, she had been a courtyard girl in a large family for two years, and she was a little more knowledgeable than ordinary people, so her question went straight to the point. Qinghe didn't know the second aunt's past, and after hearing it, he was shocked, thinking that the second aunt was so good, and asked the point.

Erbai's full set of clothes that she changed at the beginning was locked in her cabinet, of course, there were some other things, but it was not easy to tell outsiders. After talking a lot, they finally fooled the shrewd second aunt, and they talked about the highlight of Qinghe's coming here today.

"What are you going to buy today? The second aunt is cheaper for you. The second aunt took Qinghe Erbai to the small room where she had set aside things to place, pointed to the things there and asked with a smile.

"I want peanuts, sesame, soybeans and sugar, and the amount is quite a lot, two catties of sugar, and ten catties of peanuts, sesame and soybeans."

Although the second aunt is getting older, she still has very neat hands and feet after working, and she said while weighing: "The winter solstice is here again, this day is really fast, the powdered sugar you sent last time is really fragrant, my daughter and little grandson like to eat it very much." ”

Qinghe was not idle, she followed to help, she didn't expect Erbai to help her weigh this now, just let her watch. She echoed her second aunt's words and promised to give her some when it was done this year.

And where she couldn't see, Er Baizheng was holding a dried red date in one hand and spit out the kernels while eating, and there were a lot of cores sprinkled in front of her. When she had eaten enough, she grabbed a small handful of salted peanuts dried by her second aunt from the side.

"Smack-"

Qinghe suddenly stopped: "What sound?" "The second aunt is old, her ears are not as sensitive as those of young people, and her reaction is a beat slower, and she doesn't know what Qinghe is talking about.

"Huh?"

Then there was another snap, and Qing He remembered that there was a Erbai, and hurriedly looked for her figure, and found Erbai in a corner behind her. When she got up, her second aunt also got up, but after squatting for a long time, her legs were numb and she almost fell, so she could only help her second aunt to go over.

Seeing a small pile of eaten skins and cores in front of Erbai, the expression on Qinghe's face could be described as very exciting.

The second aunt looked at Erbai, then at Qinghe, with a loving smile on her face, and patted Qinghe to tell her not to care.

"Auntie does this, it's okay to be so small, just treat it as a gift for you, anyway, you will send me something in a few days, Xu girl, don't be angry, your family is this...... This girl is really amused. The second aunt didn't know Erbai's name, so she hesitated for a while before replacing it with her daughter.

"If you don't speak for her, you'll be a nerd."

Qinghe counted the money with the money bag, and thanked him after handing over the money.

"Second aunt, don't come out to send it, it's cold outside, I'll go first." After saying that, he turned around and left with four heavy bags in his hand, and he didn't care about Erbai.

Erbai has been staring at Qinghe since she came out of that small house, seeing that she was about to leave, she was about to follow immediately, but was stopped by the second aunt.

Erbai was about to get angry, but the second aunt smiled slightly and said: "Miss Xu has a good heart and soft ears, just go back and don't make her angry, just keep up, that thing is weirdly heavy, she can't carry it." ”

After hearing these words, Erbai nodded, thinking that this woman was not very annoying, and she was not disgusted by her behavior of touching her just now, and remembered Qinghe's teaching to her on weekdays, and said thank you.

"Thank you, second aunt."

The second aunt who said didn't look at her eyes and smiled, and lined up Erbai's shoulders again, and said, "The mouth is so sweet, let's go." ”

Seeing Qinghe, who was walking in front of him, Erbai hurriedly trotted to keep up.

I still want to blame myself secretly in my heart, I really damn it, I didn't control my mouth, Qingqing was angry, if there were no outsiders here, Erbai might have raised his hand to fan himself.

"Qingqing, I'll help you."
