When Jiang Heshui was about to boil water, Mama Qi came back. Dressed in a brown coarse cloth shirt, his half-green and half-white hair was neatly pulled up behind him and tied up with a peach hairpin. She was Jiang He's grandmother's personal maid, and after the Jiang family suffered, she never gave up, and followed everyone to live on this Taiye Mountain. I have never been married in my life.

Seeing the few folds on Jiang He's face, he burst into a ball, and his voice was loud, "Ah, Brother He'er is back, why did you boil the water yourself, hurry up, I'll come." Look at this dirty, go to the house and change your clothes and wait, and I'll carry the water for you in a moment. ”

Jiang He calmly filled a piece of firewood in his hand into the hearth, and said with a smile: "It's okay, that's fine." Mama is busy with other things. ”

After that, he took the ladle and scooped the water into the bucket on the side. Seeing that Mama Qi came to push him in disgust, he hurriedly said: "It's really okay, Mama go to the house and take a look, there is a person in the house who is talking to his grandmother." You look and go and clean up a house for her. ”

Mama Qi looked at him in surprise, her face full of doubts. Don't blame her for making a fuss, it's really that since she came to this Taiye Mountain, no outsiders have been to the house.

Jiang He didn't explain, but only gestured to the house.

Mama Qi slapped him angrily, Brother He'er is good at everything, but he doesn't talk too much.

The delicate and obedient old lady Ren took her hand, and the two sat on the hot and hard kang and talked.

The first time I saw this kind of thing, it was very delicate and novel. The eyes are wide open, like a little earth dog that has seen a flower butterfly for the first time, and it is gratifying to be tight.

The old lady smiled: "I haven't seen a kang, this one is warm and convenient to burn, better than charcoal." And it doesn't cost money, the dead branches and leaves all over the mountains can be burned, and a handful of filling in it can warm up for half a day. ”

Jiaojiao sat on it, feeling the heat under her buttocks, secretly hiding her little hands under the mattress to warm up, and narrowed her eyes comfortably.

Mama Qi opened the curtain and walked in, and saw the old lady talking to a dirty little girl with a smile.

She stepped forward with a smile, covered the old lady's legs with a mattress, and said enthusiastically to Jiaojiao: "Where did this little fairy come from, she looks like a real sign." ”

The old lady lifted the mattress that covered her lap and muttered, "I haven't grown old like this, what kind of cover is so warm on the kang." ”

Mama Qi was not annoyed by her, she covered her again with a smile, pressed it there, and said with a smile: "Who said that you are old, I feel sorry for you, you pity me, I don't feel at ease if you don't cover it." ”

The old lady reluctantly covered it, pointed to Jiaojiao, and happily introduced her. Of course, it didn't say that Jiaojiao was actually a princess, but it was said that Jiang He rescued the little orphan girl on the road, and she was lonely and homeless, and she lived at home in the future. It just so happens that this girl can help Brother He organize the study or something. Let Mama Qi take good care of it in the future.

Mama Qi has been sold into the General's Mansion since she was a child, and now she is forty or fifty years old, and she has also seen the world. Seeing that Jiaojiao looks so smart, and is noble and squeamish, goodbye to the old lady. didn't ask much at the moment, and diligently obeyed the old lady's instructions and ran to clean up Jiaojiao's room.

Although I don't know what the identity is, according to the old lady, in short, it's a little petite. Although she doesn't know why she wants to be called a little maid, she is right to serve her life and fulfill her duty.

Jiaojiao is taking a bath in the old lady's room, the big wooden barrel is hot water, Qi Mama also carefully put a few dried petals in it, and slowly stretched it out with hot water.

Jiaojiao hasn't washed it for several days, and she can't help but be happy when she sees hot water. Clumsily untie his clothes and strip himself naked to go in.

However, the barrel was too high. She...... Can't get in.

I searched left and right, but there was nothing to step on. The whole person is not good at the moment.

Just as I was in distress, I heard the bearded man's deep voice, "Can you come in, I got you two benches." The barrel is too high for you to get into. "There is not so much attention in the mountains, and the family rarely uses a bath bucket for bathing, and it is good to use a wooden basin to deal with it, so Mama Qi didn't think of this.

Jiaojiao pursed her mouth and smiled, still bearded and intimate. Hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, but fortunately he felt cold when he walked, so he hurriedly stopped and shouted in a panic: "Don't come in, just leave it at the door." ”

There was silence outside the door, and I heard the door creak open. Before Jiaojiao could scream, she saw two benches stuffed under the curtain, and the bearded man coughed and said in a rough voice, "Plug the door." ”

The clothes I wore were dirty and unseemly, but now I am wearing Mama Qi's. The fat one sways straight on the body, and when you walk, you will step on the trouser leg. Mama Qi looked at it, and simply took two pieces of black-headed ropes, and tied them one on one side, which was better.

After Jiaojiao put it on, she only felt a little tired all over her body, although it was already Mama Qi's best clothes, but after all, it was not comparable to the tribute fabric she was used to. It's not what it used to be, and where do she still have so many requests under the fence now, so she has to sit still and don't move. This reduces friction with the fabric and is less uncomfortable.

Mama Qi looked at the water in her bath and was happy, "The girl's body is so clean, and there is no mud at all." So he used this water to wash the girl's clothes. ”

Jiaojiao glanced at the bath water, although it was still very clean, although she washed it herself. She was still a little disgusted. But after all, he hid the little hypocrisy and dislike in his heart deeply, and raised Bai Shengsheng's little face and thanked him sweetly: "Thank you, Mama." ”

She had just finished taking a bath, and her little face was like peach petals blooming on the branches in spring. Mama Qi's eyes straightened, and she exclaimed, "The girl was really good." ”

Jiang He was called in by Mama Qi to carry the bath bucket out, and when she heard this, she raised her face and looked at the little girl who was sitting there obediently. Wearing Mama Qi's clothes, it is very funny. It's just that the face is really good-looking tight.

It is said that the queen of Emperor Xuande is bewitching and incomparable, and she is captivating the country and the city. She may still be young now, but she has not inherited the enchantment of her biological mother. It is very pure, like a deer and a little white rabbit in the mountains who have cultivated into a spirit, and a pair of big eyes are full of aura and innocence.

The little elf monster saw him look over, and smiled sweetly at him, very dog-legged. Jiang He lightly turned his eyes away, lifted the bath bucket and walked out.

The half-man-high tub was still full of water, but he carried it easily. Jiaojiao looked at his powerful and thick arms in awe, and looked down at his small thin arms that were wrapped in a layer of cotton clothes. She decided to listen to Jiang He in the future, otherwise he would beat her to death with a fist.

When the old lady heard the commotion, she shouted in the west room, "Girl, come here when you are done, and I will wipe your hair." ”

Jiaojiao bit her lip, endured the uncomfortable friction and walked awkwardly, and as soon as she walked to the door, she was hit by a small cannonball that rushed in, knocking her into a stagger, grinning in pain.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be a little black fat man, with fat flesh on his face, and dots of blood on his hair and blue lichen robe, staring at him curiously with round black eyes. He muttered endlessly, "Who are you, what are you doing in my house, why are you so good-looking?" ”

Jiaojiao was hit by him very painfully, pursed her mouth and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Mama Qi had just wiped the water stains in the room, holding a rag in her hand, and was startled when she saw the little black ball, and before the rag could be put down, she went to pull the little black ball's head and melon seeds, and asked anxiously: "Brother Song, what's wrong, ah, where is the injury, where does this blood come from?" ”

Jiang Song, Jiang He's cousin, is eight years old this year. Frightened with his head frightened, he avoided Mama Qi's black and numb rag, and shouted strangely: "Oh, Mama, take this rag away!" ”

Mama Qi was relieved to see that he was jumping around like a carp she had just caught, and it was obvious that there was no big problem in such spirits. I was about to take him down to wash him and check if there were any small wounds on his body.

Then I heard the old lady's angry voice coming, "You little rabbit, where are you going crazy again, ah?" You bastard, people don't go to the house for three days, you don't go to the house for a day! ”

When he spoke, he stepped forward with quick movements and grabbed it, and he knocked it with a cane, beating Jiang Song and screaming.

Jiaojiao was so stunned that she was so frightened that she couldn't care about the pain, and she jumped and hid aside, saving the old lady from being injured by mistake.

Jiang He didn't know where he went, and the chickens and dogs in the house didn't appear. Jiaojiao sat down on the kang next to the snoring old lady, gloating as she watched the little black fat man kneeling down with his head bowed.

The old lady knocked the ground with her cane, and said angrily: "Anyway, where are you going to be naughty?" ”

Jiang Song's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard this, and he raised his head and said proudly: "Grandmother, don't be angry first, I did a big thing today." Together with Fat Dun, they caught a big black bear! ”

The old lady hadn't caught her breath for a long time, and Jiaojiao couldn't help but marvel and hurriedly stroked her back. The old lady finally took a breath and asked in a low voice, "Where did you catch it?" ”

Jiang Song patted his chest and said proudly: "I fought on the side of the mountain col in the northwest corner, the big black bear, I mainly caught it, and several of them gave me a hand!" ”

The old lady's temper was so violent that she slipped out of the kang without waiting for Jiang Song to finish speaking, and picked up her crutches and gave her another good beating. "How many times have you said that you are not allowed to go to the col on the other side of the deep mountains, and you are not allowed to follow that group of wild monkeys to hunt secretly...... You bunny, see if I don't kill you! ”

Mama Qi and Jiaojiao hurriedly grabbed the old lady, and Mama Qi smiled and persuaded: "Oh, what are you angry about?" Brother Song, this is learning from Brother He. Brother Crane shot a big tiger at a young age. ”

Who knew that the old lady became even more angry after hearing this, and even Mama Qi became angry, "Can he compare with Brother He'er, people are hiding in trees and shooting arrows, he is a reckless thing, how to catch him, look at the blood on this body!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Song hurriedly interjected: "Grandmother, this is not my blood, most of it is from a black bear, I am not injured!" ”

The old lady swept her eyes over, "You try again!" Okay, this time I won't beat you, I won't punish you for kneeling, I'll punish you for not eating meat for a month! ”

Jiang Song was completely dumbfounded, he didn't cry when he was injured by the big black bear, he didn't cry when he was beaten by his grandmother, and he immediately had tears in his eyes as soon as he said that he was not allowed to eat meat. He knew that his grandmother did what she said, and if she didn't let him eat meat for a month, she really wouldn't give him a chance to eat a piece of meat!

He drooped his ears and kneeled over and hugged his grandmother's legs, whimpering and crying: "Grandmother, you can't be so ruthless, I'm your own grandson, if I don't eat meat, I'll be hungry and thin into a bamboo pole, woo woo......"

The cows in the stockade are dead, but there is beef to eat tonight! And there's this big black bear, how delicious the bear's paw is!

"Yo, what's going on?"

An elegant middle-aged male voice came. Jiang Song immediately seemed to have found a savior, and pounced on him crying.
