readx; A few cases ago, Xiao Anniang knelt on the cushion and was eating breakfast in small bites. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Sitting opposite sat Brother Wu, holding his head with both hands, and looking at Xiao Anniang with a pair of big eyes.

"Lady, what was the name of that dim sum you made last time?" He asked.

Xiao Anniang swallowed the food in her mouth and looked up at Xiao Wu'er.

"I don't know." She said with a slight smile.

"The lady doesn't know? Haven't you had time to choose a name yet? Brother Wu asked with wide eyes.

Xiao Anniang tilted her head and thought about it and said, "It should be." ”

"Oh." Brother Wu nodded when he heard this.

"Why don't you give it a name?" Xiao Anniang said with a smile.

Brother Xiao Wu raised his head and looked at Xiao Anniang with bright eyes, and asked, "Do I name it?" ”

Xiao Anniang nodded, while stretching out her chopsticks to pick up a green vegetable and put it in the bowl.

Brother Wu nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll give it a name!" He said.

"Lady, what is that snack made of?" He asked, his eyes sparkling and excited.

"Lotus and glutinous rice." Xiao Anniang looked up at Xiao Wu Ge'er and said with a slight smile.

"Oh." Brother Wu nodded.

Lotus and glutinous rice? He tilted his head and thought about it, the dim sum was pink and pink, soft and soft, and it tasted sweet and sweet.

Well, what's the name?

That's right......

He slapped his hands heavily on the case, making a crackling sound.

"Let's call it Pink Lotus." He said excitedly, looking at Xiao Anniang with big eyes, and slightly complacent.

Xiao Anniang thought seriously when she heard this, and said lightly, "Pink lotus glutinous." ”

"It's good, let's call it this." She nodded, a smile on her face.

"Well, that's good." Brother Wu said, his head raised slightly, his face full of smugness and pride.

Xiao Anniang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it's good!" ”

Brother Wu also nodded.

Xiao Anniang continued to pick up a chopstick dish and put it in the bowl, and then ate it slowly.

Xiao Wu Ge'er slowly lowered his head and looked at Xiao Anniang, with a pair of big eyes spinning around.

The little one sat there alone, and his eyes kept rolling around, which couldn't help but make people feel funny.

Xiao Anniang looked up and asked puzzled, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Wu Ge'er laughed twice, rolled his eyes, and then leaned his head in the direction of Xiao Anniang.

"Lady, when will you make powdered lotus glutinous again?" He asked.

He blinked as he spoke.

Xiao Anniang laughed out loud when she heard this, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her face with her sleeve.

Seeing Xiao Anniang's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, Xiao Wu Ge'er's face slowly burned, and his little face was red.

"Lady, you, what are you laughing at?" He asked, stammering slightly.

Xiao Anniang looked at him, put away her smile, and raised her eyebrows.

"I'm laughing at you." She said.

As he spoke, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and put them in a bowl.

"Laugh at me, what's so funny about me?" Brother Wu said, blinking with a red face and a little weak-hearted.

Xiao Anniang looked at Brother Wu and smiled slightly, stopped talking, and sped up her meal.

Brother Wu pursed his mouth, looked down at the plates on the table, and his eyes purred.

"Lady, I heard my sister say that someone will come to the house today, who is coming today?" He asked.

"The Li family." Xiao Anniang replied.

"Oh, the Li family." Brother Xiao Wu nodded knowingly, "Didn't you say that the son of the Li family was cured of his illness before?" Are they here to thank you today? ”

Xiao Anniang's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and after thinking about it, she said, "Almost." ”

yes, what do you mean by almost, right? Brother Wu tilted his head, a little puzzled.

Could it be that she doesn't know about the lady herself? That's how it should be, he nodded at the thought of this, and smiled a little smugly.

Xiao Anniang put down the dishes and chopsticks, took out a handkerchief from a few cases on the side and wiped her hands.

"Lady, have you eaten well?" Brother Wu asked.

"Yes." Xiao Anniang nodded.

"Then I'll call my mother to clean up." Brother Wu said.

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Anniang to answer, she got up and pedaled away.

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps.

Aunt Fu came over with a tray.

"Lady, have you eaten well?" Aunt Fu asked.

Xiao Anniang nodded, "Well, okay." ”

Aunt Fu smiled and nodded, slowly knelt down, and put the things on several cases into the tray one by one.

"Aunt Fu, are the people from the Li family here?" Xiao Anniang asked.

"Well, I came early this morning, and I'm still in the East Courtyard." Aunt Fu stopped what she was doing and replied.

Xiao Anniang nodded when she heard this.

Aunt Fu was wiping the table with a rag in her hand, she thought for a while and asked, "Lady, what are the Li family doing this time?" ”

Su Qing's girl said that the disease was cured, so what are you here for today? I came before dawn, and I ran to the east courtyard. Did you come here to thank you? What do you do when you take it to the Eastern Courtyard?

"I just asked the lady, and the lady said that she came to thank you on purpose." Brother Wu leaned over to Aunt Fu and said with a smile.

Xiao Anniang bent the corners of her mouth when she heard this.

Aunt Fu looked at Brother Xiao Wu and then at Xiao Anniang, then she should be here to thank her, otherwise what else could she do. Thinking of this, she nodded slightly and smiled.

It seems that although he is a small family, he is still a sensible person.

Thinking of this, her hand movements also sped up a little.

In a short time, it was all packed up.

Picked up the tray and stood up, "Lady, I'll go down first." ”

Xiao Anniang nodded.

After giving a salute, Aunt Fu walked away.

"Lady, aren't you going to take a look at the East Courtyard?" Brother Wu tilted his head and asked.

Xiao Anniang stood up and looked at the high sun that had risen in the eastern sky.

"It's almost time, let's go check it out." She said.

"Yes." Brother Wu stood up and responded happily.

With that, Xiao Anniang turned around and walked in one direction.

Brother Wu hurriedly followed.

...................

In a side courtyard in the east courtyard, under the shade of an old tree in the courtyard, there was a slightly emaciated figure.

It's Lao Li Tou.

Lao Li Tou looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, raised his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, the day was getting hotter and hotter in May.

He grabbed his sleeve with one hand and fanned it in front of him, trying to cool himself down.

He looked up again at the room in front of him, he had been in it for so long, and he didn't know what he was doing in it.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, his thoughts gradually drifted away.

"Dad, the lady of the Xiao family and I have a life-saving grace, and my son thought that he would repay him in the future. But Mrs. Xiao said today that she asked us for help with something, and she should repay her for saving her life. However, in my opinion, the fact that Mrs. Xiao asked us for help was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. A chance for us to climb up! ”

What Brother Su said to him last night seemed to be still ringing in his ears.

Brother Su said that this was an opportunity, and he didn't understand what opportunity it was, but Brother Su was smart since he was a child, and since he said so, he must be right.

Also, even if it's wrong, the lady of the Xiao family has a life-saving grace with their family, and they will do whatever she says. That lady will never harm them.
