Crimson took the two of them to the hood room for tea.

Liu Wujia began to measure Huiyu's body. While looking at Hui Yu's expression, he said, "The girl has grown a lot taller than last year." ”

Hui Yu sighed and said, "It's hard work to make so many clothes, mother." ”

Liu Wujia hurriedly said: "The slave and maid are in charge." Moreover, "Glancing at Hui Yu, he continued: "There are not many masters in our house, and there is less needlework than the other three rooms. Now that the old lady is gone, the needlework is becoming more and more idle. ”

"Oh", Hui Yu wondered, she had always only complained about how hard she lived, and it was the first time she heard that she had no one to work. Hui Yu wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Liu Wu family. So he said: "Originally, our four-room room was not as prosperous as the other three-room people, but now I am the only one left, but I am afraid that in the future, people will go to tea and cool and go their own way." After speaking, he covered his face and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Liu Wujia knelt down and said, "It's all slaves and maids who deserve to die, and they make the girl sad." No matter what happens to the four rooms in the future, the Liu family will swear to follow the girl to the death. ”

This is a show of loyalty, Hui Yu thought to herself, and she didn't know if it was sincere or a play? He also said: "My mother has been doing her best in the fourth room, and she is very capable, but I am helpless. ”

Liu Wujia kowtowed and said: "The girl is the master of the slave and maid, and without the master, even if the slave and the maid have all kinds of talents, they are also energetic and have nowhere to go, and they can have a great future." I only hope that the girl will remember to bring the slave and maid wherever she goes in the future. After saying that, he kowtowed again.

Hui Yu couldn't help but glance at Liu Wujia a few more times, only to see her whole body bowed, her head on the ground, respectful and humble. Although I don't know why she has the intention of following her, she is the only one who has clearly expressed her loyalty to herself since she woke up, and based on this alone, Hui Yu felt that she could keep her by her side, so she softened her tone and said, "Mom, please get up." It's rare that my mother doesn't dislike me alone, and I keep your loyalty in mind, and I should think about it in the long run. ”

Liu Wu's family got Huiyu's instructions, kowtowed happily a few more times, and then went out, leading Lu Niangzi and the two to go to the Frost Leaf Pavilion again.

When Lu Niangzi and the others were sent out, it was already noon, and Liu Wujia hurriedly walked home without taking a breath.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the eldest girl and the second girl arguing loudly. Liu Wu's family hurriedly entered the back room and asked, it turned out that Liu Wu bought a pastry from outside yesterday, and Liu Wu and Liu Wu's family came back late at noon today, and the eldest girl and the second girl were so hungry that they scrambled for the pastry.

Liu Wujia watched her mother-in-law lying in bed sickly, the eldest girl and the second girl had snot and tears, and the big dog and the second dog sat next to him and looked at him with a blank eye, and suddenly felt a kind of powerlessness, and yelled at the eldest girl and the second girl: "What are you fighting for, your old son and mother are just coming back late, and you don't have nothing to eat, don't you see that the two younger brothers are still hungry next to you?" will fight by themselves, is there a bit of a girl's house? ”

Liu Wuniang heard her daughter-in-law scolding her granddaughter, and said weakly: "Big girl, mother, the children are not sensible, don't scold them, they are also hungry and anxious." ”

Liu Wu's family was already upset, and her mother-in-law interjected, and she couldn't help but be annoyed: "Mother, if you don't give them some color, they will have to quarrel over this food in the future." If you're not well, leave it alone. ”

The eldest girl and the second girl saw that their mother was really angry, and they were also silent.

Liu Wujia told again, "Don't make any more noise, be careful of your skin", and then went into the kitchen to stir-fry.

As soon as the dish was served, Liu Wu also came back. The family eats around the dining table.

After a few children finished eating and got off the table, Liu Wujia looked at the sky and said, "The child is his father, I told the girl today, no matter what happens in the fourth room in the future, we will follow her." ”

Liu Wu's chopsticks fell on the table: "You are usually quite clever, why did you make a fool at a critical moment?" The four rooms are about to disperse, and everyone else is looking for another high branch, but you will put our family into the pit! ”

Liu Wujia saw that his man blamed him, and he hurriedly said: "It's because everyone else wants to go that we have to follow the girl with determination." The four rooms are rich, and the wives marry a lot, and the girl will not be short of silver in the future. When the girl gets married, we are the companion room, according to the identity of the girl, it will not be too bad to marry in the future, let's follow the girl to manage well, it is always not difficult to be a housekeeper in the uncle's house. What's more, I see that the girl today is a sensible person, and she will definitely have a great future in the future. ”

"Do you really have an eye? You can also tell if the girl is promising? Liu Wu chirped, "I only know that the old lady is gone, the four rooms are going to be dispersed, and the girl doesn't know where she will go in the future, do you want our family to follow the girl to other people's houses to beg for a living?!" ”

Liu Wujia's eyes were red with anger: "Do you think we are having a good time now?" Your mother is lying in bed taking medicine every month, and the four children are still so young, they have to eat and wear, and they have to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. What don't you spend money? You're good, you watch the door in the outer courtyard all day long, and everyone else knows to go to the master's side, but you only care about your own little work, what can you do? ”

"The four rooms are gone, waiting for the clan to settle, what good errand can we get? None of us knew anyone to ask for help. ”

"I don't know where to go after following the girl, but at least I can know who the master is, and the master can remember our goodness, and we can still earn dignity."

Liu Wujia said, tears flowed, and he choked up: "If I hadn't married you, would I have been so worried?" ”

Liu Wu was originally a clueless, and when he saw his daughter-in-law crying, he panicked, and said: "Okay, okay, if I'm wrong, I'll listen to you, no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse anyway." ”

After speaking, he scratched his head and went out conveniently.

Liu Wujia wiped away his tears, finished his meal, and cleaned up the table without saying a word.

Ten miles away from the camp of the Northwest Army, there is a small town of more than 100 families.

There is a tea shop in the middle of the town, although the population of the town is not large, and most people can't afford to eat tea outside, but this tea shop business is very good.

There is no other reason than that this is the closest town to the barracks. But whenever there are soldiers resting, they always go to this tea shop to drink tea and eat some food.

The tea shop is run by a husband and wife, and they always greet customers with a smile, which makes people feel friendly. And the boss also fried a good dish, which is even more precious in the countryside and fields. Therefore, when the guests come, they will order a few bosses' specialty dishes, and then pair them with a pot of tea, and they will eat and drink comfortably.

Today is not a day of rest, there are not many guests, and there are three or four tables sporadically. The boss doesn't have to be busy cooking all the time, and he personally serves the dishes to the guests when he arrives.

As soon as he came out with a plate of food, he saw a regular customer sitting in the window seat, and a young man of about twenty years old was sitting opposite, wearing a cyan robe, only a dark belt was tied around his waist at random.

After serving, the boss walked straight to the regular customer and greeted: "General Xiao Li, take a break today?" This guest officer is good-eyed, but a new officer? ”

Li Che was familiar with this boss for a long time, so he replied with a smile: "It's rare that Boss Song can come to the front to greet guests today. This is one of my staff, Mr. Xu. ”

Boss Song is also a person who is used to doing business, and he is the most observant of words and feelings, seeing that Li Che did not say much lightly, he knew that he didn't want to say more to himself, so he said with a more smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Xu, Mr. must not come to our tea shop often, we are the most particular about making tea, using the mountain spring water picked down from Qishan, making tea is very good, but it happened that two days ago from the city a new Mao Feng, why don't you give the two of you a pot to taste?" ”

Li Che has never drunk any kind of good tea, but this Boss Song is attentive and familiar, and he looks at the faint and noncommittal look on Xu Wu's face, so he smiled and said: "Since it happened to happen, let's have a pot." ”

Boss Song happily responded with a stack of "yes" and hurriedly made tea.

After a while, the tea was on the table, and the two drank tea, ate the dishes, and talked.
