Chapter 17: Leaving on the Waves
"Ah Xiu, is the meal ready?" As soon as Ah Xiu put away the ten taels of silver, he heard the drunken voice of his father.
It was a coincidence that he came, and as soon as the people left, he came back.
"If you want to do it, you go to lie down for a while, where are you going to walk around this time?" Ah Xiu asked casually, but she knew that her father would not give her any serious answers.
"Phew, hoo......" This time she responded to a snoring, and Ah Xiu took a look to see that he was already asleep on the ground. Looking at the clothes on his body, they are still the same as seven or eight days ago, and without getting closer, Ah Xiu can imagine the smell on them.
But this kind of thing happened a lot, and she didn't bother to talk about him, so she went back to the kitchen and continued to clean up.
Now that Gu Yi is gone, she is going to start cooking by herself again.
Once back before the liberation, the sadness in it, alas......
Anyway, everything is a taste, and Ah Xiu simply didn't need to put any effort into it, and it was served after a few stir-fried times.
"There's meat today." The wine daddy squinted his eyes and picked up a black ball.
This can be regarded as a skill of the wine father, that is, Ah Xiu herself, if she hadn't watched the dishes thrown down and fried, she would have had some difficulty distinguishing herself.
But as long as the wine daddy takes a look, he can almost know what the main ingredient is.
"Yes." Ah Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "This is potato stew." ”
When he said this name, Ah Xiu himself was a little weak.
After taking a bite, Ah Xiu's whole face wrinkled, sure enough, it was easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality, after eating Gu Yi's craftsmanship, and then eating what he made, Ah Xiu just wanted to shed tears now.
I knew that I would eat more in those days.
It's my own father, I don't know if there is any obstacle in the sense of taste, I eat one piece after another without pressure, if you ignore the color of that dish, Ah Xiu has to doubt that his craftsmanship is actually good!
Just as Ah Xiu was struggling with whether to eat or do psychological construction before eating, Ah Niu's voice came from the door.
"Sister Axiu." As soon as Ah Niu entered the door, when he saw the wine father, he was slightly flustered, and called "uncle" a little uncomfortably.
"Brother Niu." Ah Xiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Have you eaten, do you want to eat something at my house, I made meat today!" Ah Xiu greeted warmly, he had eaten so many meals at his house, and the courtesies were still exchanged!
"No need." Ah Niu's eyes swept over the dishes on the table, and his expression trembled, the dishes made by Sister Ah Xiu were really still ...... Unique.
"Oh, so what do you have to do with me?" Ah Xiu glanced at the dishes on the table with some regret, it was rare for him to be so generous, and he wanted to invite others to eat meat!
"My aunt asked you to come over for dinner, and she made a lot of dishes." Ah Niu looked left and right again: "That ...... of yours"
What he wanted to say was Gu Yi, but in fact, this time Ah Niu Niang specially asked Ah Niu to come over and invite Ah Xiu and Gu Yi. Although Gu Yi looked a little old, it was said that he was not very old, and his daughter-in-law could not be robbed by others.
Therefore, it is necessary to probe the wind and inquire about some things.
"What did my aunt do?" As soon as Ah Xiu heard that Ah Niu was going to talk about Gu Yi, he hurriedly interrupted him, and only whispered when he walked next to him: "My distant brother has already gone back first." ”
"There are scrambled eggs with leeks, and the fish I caught in the river yesterday, and A-Niang made braised small fish." Ah Niu replied honestly.
"I'll go." As soon as Ah Xiu heard that there was a fish, his eyes immediately lit up, compared with what he was doing now, what Ah Niu Niang made was definitely delicious in the world!
There is a very clear river not far from the village, and there will be some small fish in it, and Ah Xiu has been greedy for a long time, but unfortunately she doesn't have this skill herself, so she can only drool at them.
Now that there is such an opportunity, she will naturally not let it go, fish and meat are her favorites!
"Uncle, come with you." Ah Niu saw that the wine father had a sloppy beard and a wandering appearance, and he felt even more sorry for Ah Xiu in his heart.
"Ah, what did you just tell me?" The wine father seemed to realize that Ah Niu was here now, and turned around with chopsticks in a daze, and the beard on his face made it impossible to see his original appearance, let alone his expression.
I don't know if the stool is not strong, or if he really drank too much, before he finished speaking, the whole person fell off the stool at once, and sat directly on the ground.
"Uncle." Ah Niu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he waved his hand to stop him.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine." Saying that, he fumbled a few times, hugged the table legs, and ...... with an intoxicated expression Fall asleep!
"You just let him fall asleep like this, and he will sleep in the bed himself~ go up." Just when Ah Niu was at a loss and didn't know what to do, Ah Xiu said indifferently, anyway, he didn't have much time to be awake in a day, and she had long been used to it.
"That'...... All right. Ah Niu was still a little reassuring and glanced back at the wine daddy, and then he and Ah Xiu went out.
When the two of them went out, the wine father slowly got up from the ground, wiped his chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of black meat, chewed it a few times, and couldn't help but sigh.
If it goes on like this, I really won't be able to get married.
But it's okay if you can't get married, it's okay......
Besides, on Gu Yi's side, the two of them and three horses were rushing to the capital.
"General, in fact, that Ah Xiu girl, she is still very good." Gu Yi hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"You have a good opinion of her." The general glanced at Gu Yi with a smirk.
Even if Gu Yi said so, his impression of her was still at the very beginning.
And he believes that they will not have the opportunity to meet in the future, so what does it matter what he thinks!
"I don't think it's easy for a girl's family to live." Gu Yi was a little emotional.
Alone? He remembered the figure he had seen that day......
Sure enough, he knew that the girl named Ah Xiu had a lot of mysteries on her.
But now he has nothing to focus on this matter, there are more urgent things waiting for him.
"Gu Yi, after you return to the capital, first contact the secret guard and go to the palace to protect the prince and the concubine."
"But......" Gu Yi's face was entangled: "Your safety is in this way, and the injuries on your body ......"
"There's nothing big going on, and now the top priority is to protect the prince." His face remained unchanged, even though the wound on his shoulder was still oozing outward.
But the current government can't afford to be delayed for half a minute.
"Yes." Gu Yi gritted his teeth and responded.
