018 Finding
Zheng Qingyun quickly kneaded the dough, covered it with a clean and moist gauze, picked up the knife, and began to chop the meat filling on the cutting board, which was only half of it: first cut the meat filling into small cubes, and then chop it up little by little.
For a while, there was a sound of "dong dong" in the kitchen, leaning on the side of the door, looking at Xiao Li, who was busy with Zheng Qingyun's busy figure, and unconsciously, the solemn expression on his face became softer, and the corners of his straight lips also rose slightly, like the warm sun after the ice floes turned into snow.
This kind of Xiao Li, Feng Siniang has not seen it for many years.
After a war-like scramble, the hot dumplings finally came out of the pot at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them were a little hungry at this time.
Xiao Li looked at the large bowl of fragrant dumplings in front of him, and suddenly remembered the bowl of dumplings that his mother had sent to the Overseer's Mansion when she left Wucheng. At that time, he was taken to the army by his father, and when he came back in the evening, the dumplings were already cold, clumped, and they all fell apart with a poke with chopsticks.
He didn't shed a single tear when the army was beaten and bruised, but when he saw the bowl of dumplings, the tears fell instantly.
He knew that his mother was saying goodbye to him.
He also knew that it would be difficult to see his mother again in this life.
He ate all the dumplings in that bowl. That time was also the last time he ate dumplings.
In the past nine years, he has attended many banquets, been in and out of many restaurants, and tasted all kinds of rare and strange flavors, but he has never eaten dumplings again.
If it weren't for Feng Siniang's return to Wucheng and the memories that had been sealed in the dust for many years, he wouldn't have known, and unconsciously, he hadn't eaten dumplings for so many years.
The chopsticks in his hand unconsciously clenched, stirring the hot dumplings in the bowl one by one, and the heat immediately hit his face, stinging his eyes and almost shedding tears.
"Isn't it delicious?" Zheng Qingyun saw that Xiao Li had been staring at the dumplings in front of him in a daze, his expression was in a trance, and he asked with some worry.
Xiao Li came back to his senses, glanced at Zheng Qingyun, shook his head, picked up chopsticks and began to eat dumplings in a big gulp.
"Eh, slow down!" Seeing him like this, Zheng Qingyun couldn't help but speak, "Be careful of burning!" β
Feng Siniang stretched out her hand and grabbed her, "Let him go." β
Zheng Qingyun was stunned for a moment, glanced at Feng Siniang, and nodded lightly.
Soon, Xiao Li's dumplings in the bowl were finished, he silently put down the bowl and said to Zheng Qingyun: "Thank you!" β
Zheng Qingyun raised the corners of her lips, smiled sweetly, and said playfully: "Thank me, it's very simple, help us move later?" β
Speaking of moving, in fact, Zheng Qingyun and Feng Siniang don't have many things, and each person only has two or three boxes. As for the things in the troupe, they are all going to be taken to the place where other people live and put them, close to Qiyun Pavilion, and they can be moved directly after buying Qiyun Pavilion in the future.
After Xiao Li moved the things for them, he didn't leave immediately, but stood outside the door, leaning against the wall pillar and not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, from outside the door, there was the sound of heavy military boots trampling on the stone slab, and then a familiar voice said loudly: "Three Shao? β
Tan Yi trotted in all the way, Xu was a little unsteady because he had been running for a long time, and said while gasping: "Sanshao, I have found you!" Just know you're here! β
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows and asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?" β
"The Overseers are looking for you!" Tan Yi leaned into Xiao Li's ear and whispered, "It's a matter of Qiyun Pavilion, the overseer ordered you to go back and deploy." β
"Got it." Xiao Li nodded, turned around and entered the house, "The matter of Qiyun Pavilion, seven days and so on, I will help you do it." β
"Really?" As soon as Feng Siniang heard the words Qiyun Pavilion, she immediately became excited, her willow eyebrows were raised high, and her smile was gorgeous.
Xiao Li nodded, "I'll go first, there's still something to do." β
Seeing that Zheng Qingyun seemed to be looking for something, and did not react to the conversation between the two, Xiao Li was a little strange, "Boss Zheng, what did you leave behind?" β
"En......" Zheng Qingyun answered absentmindedly while flipping through the cage, seeing that the cage had been turned upside down, but there was still no trace of what she was looking for, she sat on the edge of the bed with some discouragement, looking sullen.
"But your jade pendant is missing?" Feng Siniang knew that Zheng Qingyun's most precious thing was the jade pendant, which had been hidden close to her, even if she had been resold by traffickers many times, she had never lost it, so how could it be so good that it was gone?
Zheng Qingyun suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed and said hurriedly: "It must have fallen in the cemetery yesterday, I have to find it." β
"Now?" Feng Siniang shouted, "It's afternoon now, and if you rush to Qingling, you won't have a car when you come back, are you going to walk back to the city from the suburbs?" β
"I'll send you there." After Xiao Li finished saying this, he turned around and walked outside the door, called Tan Yi over, and gave a few orders.
"What?" As soon as Tan Yi heard Xiao Li's words, his face was immediately full of surprise.
"You go back first, I'll be over later."
"Sanshao, you're not kidding, are you?" Tan Yi looked like "your head is burned" and stared at Xiao Li, "The Overseer is looking for you for military affairs, and his command-style military orders, if you don't obey, you will be dealt with by military law!" β
Tan Yi's voice was a little loud, and it happened to be heard by Zheng Qingyun, who walked to the door, and she glanced at Xiao Li with some concern, "You better go and do things first!" I don't care...... Don't hurt you to be court-martial......"
From the first time he saw Xiao Li, Zheng Qingyun knew that he was from the army, but he didn't know what rank he was, and he didn't know why others called him Sanshao, but he was Fengling's son and the son of his own life-saving benefactor, how could she be punished for Xiao Li, who harmed herself?
"It's okay, it's not too late to go after I'm done sending you." Xiao Li glanced at Tan Yi, who wanted to speak and stopped, and pulled Zheng Qingyun, who was still hesitant, out of the yard directly, stuffed her into the car, and drove towards the suburbs without hesitation.
This happens to be the location in the east of the city, and Qingling is located in the western suburbs of the city, and it will take 40 minutes to get there by car.
Neither of them spoke along the way.
Zheng Qingyun had always been worried that the jade pendant had not been left there, or that it had been picked up, and he was uneasy, so he didn't have the heart to speak. But Xiao Li inadvertently remembered what happened to Zheng Qingyun in the cemetery yesterday.
Yesterday, he originally wanted to go to worship his brother-in-law, but he didn't expect to meet her, let alone meet Pei Mochi.
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Li's face was a little ugly, and as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car flew forward more quickly. Zheng Qingyun was caught off guard, hit the car seat, was startled, subconsciously glanced at Xiao Li, opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Inevitably, he was a little apprehensive in his heartβwas he not very happy because he had delayed his time......
