Mu Zigui saw it in his eyes, and adjusted his itinerary on the third day.

Every day, I stayed in the hotel to rest, set off at the end of the time, and hurried overnight, so that although the speed was much slower, people got a rest. In order to hurry at night, Yuquan hired a coachman, and then hired a coachman halfway, so that people could take turns to rest and not make any mistakes because of fatigue.

In this way, day and night were reversed for a month, and it was not until the evening of the sixth day of the eighth month that I arrived at a small town called Sheng'an.

It is said that the town is similar to a larger village, and there is not even a bluestone road in the town, except for a few small grocery stores, and only an inn in the middle.

Mama Rong seemed to be very familiar with this place, and walked directly to the inn without a signboard, and a sturdy woman walked out and asked with some restraint: "Do you want to stay in the hotel?" ”

Mama Rong stepped forward and replied, "Do you have any vacant rooms here, it is better to have a yard, we need to live for a while." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then turned around and shouted, "Boss, boss, come, there is business." ”

The sharp voice startled Yan Xiaoyue, and after a while, she heard the footsteps of "kicking", and saw a thin green cloth man, in his thirties, with a goatee and a smile on his face, standing five steps away from Mama Rong.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please tell me if you need anything."

Mama Rong first invited Mu Zigui and Yan Xiaoyue into the store before following in, "The six of us live in the hotel." With two carriages, do you have a yard for rent? ”

"Yes, we have a yard, not far west of the town, or I'll take you to see it first."

Mama Rong glanced at Mu Zigui before nodding and took Wei An out with the shopkeeper.

Yan Xiaoyue's backache is not bad. I can't stand to sit. He got up cautiously and walked slowly.

Mu Zigui hurriedly followed, and said anxiously: "What's wrong, isn't it comfortable?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue shook her head. "No, it's just that after a day in the carriage, my body is a little stiff, and I think it will be better to take a walk."

Mu Zigui sighed. "I knew I should have forcibly stopped you from coming, look at you. In a month, I lost my weight. ”

Yan Xiaoyue touched her face, there was less meat, and said with a smile: "How can I lose a lot of weight." Every summer I will lose a little weight, and it will be good when the weather cools down, do you see that I have been looking better lately? ”

Mu Zigui's brows furrowed tightly. "How can it be good, waxing yellow and yellowing. After you settle down, let Mama make up for you. ”

Yan Xiaoyue smiled, "Okay, I also miss Mama's braised pig's trotters." ”

"I want to eat pig's trotters, what's so difficult about this, I'll let the cook in this store do it."

Yan Xiaoyue was really a little hungry, she reached out and touched her stomach, it's been five months, if it weren't for the recent cold weather, and she added a thin shirt, I'm afraid that my stomach won't be able to stop it. But looking at Mama Rong's appearance, she seems to know something.

But after thinking about it, Mama slept in the same carriage with her, and she was an experienced old man, so she should have found the clue, otherwise she wouldn't have cooked some soup and water supplements for her every time she went to a place, and she bought a lot of food along the way, as if she was afraid that Yan Xiaoyue would be hungry.

When the shopkeeper came back with Mama Rong, the third lady had already set up a table of home-cooked food.

Through guΓ² and Sanniang's questioning, Yan Xiaoyue already knew that her family was called Shi Qiang, both of them were locals, with three sons and two daughters, the eldest had already started a family, and the youngest was only two years old. Hearing this, Yan Xiaoyue looked at Sanniang in horror, this life is too much. Who knew that when this was asked, Sanniang said that if she hadn't died three of them, she would have eight children, and Yan Xiaoyue smacked her tongue when she heard it.

After Mama Rong came back, she nodded at Yan Xiaoyue, "The slave maid has been to see it, there are three main rooms, it just so happens that the son and the small room are one for one person, one is kept as the main hall, and there are two dark rooms, and it is enough to pack out the two coachmen." ”

Since Mama Rong said yes, Yan Xiaoyue didn't snort, everyone had some food together, and drove the carriage to Shi Qiang's ancestral house.

After arriving, Yan Xiaoyue realized that her trust in Mama Rong was too high, and the three main houses were all made of adobe bricks, which were shorter and much smaller than ordinary houses. When I entered the room, it was quite tidy, and I could see that someone often cleaned it up.

"Miss, the shopkeeper said that this is his eldest son's house, and they have just moved out to rent it to us. The slave also saw that this house is the best in this neighborhood, and when you go out, it is not as good as at home, so you can only do it, but fortunately we brought our own bedding, and the sleeping place is always more comfortable than the carriage. ”

Yan Xiaoyue relaxed her expression, "Don't worry, Mama, I'm fine, I didn't grow up as a daughter, I lived much worse than this when I was a child, it's really good to be able to find a place like this." ”

Mu Zigui also stepped forward and said apologetically to Yan Xiaoyue: "Xiaoyue, why don't you go back to the town in front of you and wait for us first?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue glanced at Mu Zigui angrily, "Brother Zigui scolded me when he said this, Mama doesn't know, have you forgotten what you looked like when you saw me for the first time?" It's good here, what's not to live in. If I go to live alone in the front town, can my brother rest assured? ”

Mu Zigui was speechless, and finally had to smile bitterly: "Then I'll help you carry your luggage first, and then see what is missing, I'll go to the front market tomorrow to buy it for you." ”

Yan Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, "I just want to eat braised pig's trotters tomorrow, and I don't know if there will be pork for sale tomorrow?" ”

This town is remote, the population is small and few outsiders come, there is only one seller in the town, they are all sold on Monday and Saturday, and they are sold today, but Shi Qiang They naturally didn't buy meat if they didn't have guests, and Yan Xiaoyue and they arrived late, so they ate some vegetarian dishes tonight, a cabbage stewed tofu, a chili fried green beans, a lettuce, a sauce eggplant, a plate of peanuts, and the whole table didn't see a piece of meat.

On weekdays, Yan Xiaoyue also has at least two big dishes on the table, except for the green vegetables without meat, the other dishes are either added with meat as condiments or broth, like this The whole table of dishes but there is no minced meat, more than ten years, it really hasn't happened, plus Sanniang's cooking skills are average, after one night, Yan Xiaoyue almost didn't eat anything, and her stomach still feels empty.
