Apricot was a little uneasy in the past two days, I knew that she was afraid that something would happen then, because I hadn't told her anything until now, I could see that she was suppressing her emotions, so I took her to the kitchen and said to her, "Do you know what your grandfather likes to eat the most?" ”
Xing'er paused for a moment and said, "Huh? ”
I continued, "Do you know any food that evokes memories of your grandfather and your mother?" ”
Xing'er came back to her senses and said: "Oh, I know that when my mother was not married before, she liked to cook a dish for her grandfather, saying that this dish was made by my grandmother when she was alive. ”
I smiled and said, "That's the best, you make this dish." Apricot looked at me and realized that it would be useful for me to ask her to make this dish, so she got busy in the kitchen. The cook next to me saw that she was going to help, and I stopped her, and if you borrow someone else's hand at this time, you will be defeated.
I turned and left the kitchen and sat on a stone bench under the grape trellis in the backyard, and after a while, I saw Apricot coming with a plate of vegetables. She put the dish on the stone table and said to me, "Miss, taste it!" I took a bite of my chopsticks and said to her, "You can get up early tomorrow and make this dish with you." "She didn't quite understand, but she didn't ask anything, and seeing her this, I knew that she was growing and trusting me.
The next day, I took Xing'er and Qinghe to Qinjia Village with my father. At this time, I asked Xing'er to get out of the carriage at the entrance of the village, and asked her to wait by the village stream and said to her: "It's up to you next" Xing'er nodded and walked to the stream. Qinghe and I followed my father to the village chief's house, this is not the first time to see the village chief, the last time I saw the field, I saw it once, but the others except Qin Zhu, it was indeed the first time to see, the village chief's wife and her daughter, as soon as they saw us coming, it was like a fly seeing honey, and the attitude was flattering, I thought I wanted to get some oil and water from us, and that's it, the most hateful thing was the eldest son of her family, who couldn't move his step when he saw Qinghe, and looked up and down with obscene eyes.
Although Qinghe is my maid, but it is indeed a person around my mother, basically I have not done hard work, although I am not a beautiful girl, but I am also a small jasper, although I am 16 years old, but my waist is slender, and my figure is good.
It's better that her eldest son doesn't move, or I'll let him taste my awesomeness. My father and the village chief discussed the purchase of the field, their mother and daughter were greeting me, and after a while, my father asked the village chief to take us with him on the grounds that he wanted to see the field again, and their mother and daughter also wanted to follow along, I said that I would not go, I wanted to rest, the village chief's wife had to stay to greet me, and her daughter followed and went out together, but it was okay, Qin Zhu would do it, and his eldest son saw Qinghe staying, and he also stayed with him. That's fine, and it saves trouble, I'm done with what I'm going to do, and then it's up to Xing'er herself, but I'm sure it will go well.
Her eldest son is fortunately a guy with a lustful heart and no lust, and he didn't do anything, but his eyes were uncomfortable. After about half an hour to 45 minutes, the village chief and my father returned, and when I saw that the village chief's eyes were red, I knew that this was done. Next, the village chief Qin signed the title deed with his father, and then my father and I went back.
When she got home, Xing'er knelt down and kowtowed to me and my father, saying, "Thank you, master, thank you, miss." If it weren't for the lord and the young lady, my mother's last wish would not have come true. ”
The father said, "Xing'er, you get up and speak." It's nothing, we didn't actually do anything, it was you who untied your grandfather's knot. ”
Xing'er got up and said, "No, if you hadn't invited your grandfather out of the house, I wouldn't have seen him." ”
The father said, "I was going to see the fields, so you don't have to thank me." ”
Apricot is not talking. My father had something to do, so he left. I went to my mother's place for a while, talked to her, and then went back to my room. As soon as I returned to the room, Xing'er knelt down in front of me, and I hurriedly said, "Xing'er, why are you kneeling again, get up quickly." ”
Xing'er said: "I know that this time I can successfully untie my grandfather's heart knot, all thanks to the help of Miss." In the future, whatever Miss asks me to do, as long as I can do it, even if it is my life, I will not say a word. ”
I looked at her seriously and said, "What is not fatal, you remember, your life is only in your own hands." Apricot looked me in the eye and nodded. Get up! Don't kneel anymore. Although you call me Miss, there is no master and servant between us, only friends. Xing'er nodded and didn't refute, but in her heart, this is her young lady, her eternal master.
I saw that Xing'er wanted to speak and stopped, and said, "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask!" ”
Xing'er said, "What did you say to my little uncle that day, Miss?" And my grandmother and uncle, why didn't my second aunt move? ”
I said, "Actually, it's nothing, I asked your little uncle that day, do you know that your mother has died, do you know that your family can't go back, do you know that you have come to my house to work, do you know that if we didn't meet you and your father on the road, you would be an orphan, I will ask him to find a way to stop his mother, brother, and sister, so that you can fulfill your mother's last wish, and he agreed, I will let him talk more about your mother in front of your grandfather, and talk about what happened to you during this time. It's as simple as asking him to stop your second aunt today. "It's just that there are some things I didn't tell her, and she doesn't need to know.
Xing'er suddenly realized: "I understand, in the past two days, my grandfather often thinks of my mother, and I take the dishes that my grandmother and my mother often cook for my grandfather, by the stream full of memories of my mother and grandfather." At this time, I have succeeded for most of the time, and I am telling my grandfather what my mother wants to say to my grandfather over the years, and at this time, my grandfather's heart knot is completely gone. ”
I nodded and said, "It's not just that the knot is untied, but it also makes some people's skin tight." ”
Xing'er looked at me and said, "Miss, are you talking about my current grandmother?" ”
I just laughed and didn't say anything. Sure enough, the next day the mother-in-law of the family began to spread that yesterday the head of Qinjia Village Qin somehow scolded her mother-in-law very badly, and she did it, if it wasn't for her son to stop her, it is estimated that someone would die. I didn't dare to go out today, I usually rely on myself to be the wife of the village chief, and I swagger all day long, and I guess that this face must be a lottery.
After this incident, I told my parents that I wanted to visit Pingyang County, and they agreed. Xiao Luzi, Qinghe, Xing'er and I went to Pingyang County together, the first thing I did when I came to the county seat was to go to the bookstore, although my father taught me to read and write since I was 3 years old, and I can understand that I am as mature as my own father than my peers, but I have to do something, or use some books to cover up. The bamboo note house is the only bookstore in Pingyang County, and the special thing about this store is that the books displayed are made of bamboo paper, so it is called the bamboo paper house, and the books you buy can be made of bamboo or paper.
After entering the bookstore, I first selected some basic books, which are the same as the ancient Chinese three-character classics, hundred family names, thousand-character texts, four books and five classics, and then bought some humanities and history books from various countries, main biographies, wild histories, and some travelogues. Out of the bookstore, Qinghe proposed to go to the ready-to-wear shop to make some clothes, I think about it, in 2 months it will be summer, there are new members in the family, it is to make some clothes, Xing'er is now wearing Qiuping's previous clothes, so I decided to go to the ready-to-wear store.
This ready-to-wear shop has been patronized since we moved here, and our sizes are recorded, and after saying hello to the proprietress and asking Apricot to measure the size, and I am also growing taller, so I also measured the size from the new. After measuring and choosing the style of clothes, I looked at it, they were all very basic styles, so I chose some casually. I thought to myself, in modern Chinese costume dramas, there are many costumes that are quite beautiful, I can customize them according to those styles, but not today, it will make people suspicious, so I held back my own ideas, thinking that in the future, I will either cooperate with ready-to-wear shops, or recruit some talents to open stores by myself. After finishing these, it was time for lunch, and we thought of going to the most famous restaurant in Binh Duong, Zui Xianju, this restaurant is a chain store, there are stores in Mengguo, Liangguo, and Shangguo, and I heard that there are several dishes in his family, such as anchovy shark fin, red plum pearl incense, hydrangea scallops, golden silk finch and so on. I'm a foodie, I used to have a foodie heart, but I didn't have a foodie's life, but now it's different! Since God has given me a chance to be born again, I will not live as before, I will do what I want to do, live freely, and live happily. On the way to the Drunken Immortal Residence, suddenly a ball-filled object rolled to my feet, and I looked down and saw that this was not a coconut! During the time I came here, I had never heard of the existence of a coconut, either from books or from people's mouths, and now it actually appeared here. While I was thinking, a couple of kids came running and one of the girls said to me, "I'm sorry I didn't hit you!" ”
I came back to my senses and said, "No, what are you?" ”
"I'm this! It was brought to me by my uncle from a long way away, and there is no one here, only me! The girl said proudly.
"Then your uncle brought you a few, you can give me one! May I! I said as I looked at her with wide eyes.
The girl looked at me and thought for a while: "It's not impossible to give you one, I still have it at home, but I can't give it to you for nothing!" ”
I saw that there was hope, and smiled and said to her, "Then I'll exchange things with you!" What do you want, whether it is food or silk flowers or embroidered silk cloth. ”
Qinghe heard the words and hurriedly said to me: "Miss, this is just a ball, what's so good." We don't want it. ”
I know Kiyo-ha doesn't think I need to do this at all, but I have my plans, and it's nothing.
"Hmm...... I think about it, I want to eat the pastries of Drunken Xianju, his things are quite expensive, and my father and mother will only buy them for me occasionally. When you look at your clothes and the maids and servants behind you, you know that you are the daughter of a rich family, and you shouldn't care about this money! ”
"There's nothing to care about, let's make friends! Buying pastries for friends, it's nothing! I said, this girl has a direct personality, hearty, just say anything, and it's okay to make this friend. Although Qinghe didn't understand, he didn't say anything.
