In the Sanjue study room, Yu Xiaoxiu sat in the back row to listen to the class, when school was about to end, there were few students in the private school who did not wander and stared, but he was ten years old at the naughty age, but he could endure his heart, and he sat down for a morning.

After the master left, he followed the crowd and found his returned homework on the podium, sighed secretly, went around to the back row and left, while walking, he looked at the homework paper to find the wrong place, and was called twice before he reacted, turned around and looked at Xue Wenzhe who strode towards him, wondering in his heart, what did he tell himself to do?

"Yu Xiaoxiu," Xue Wenzhe walked in front of him with a face, but his eyes turned away, and his tone was a little impulsive: "What about your sister, why didn't you come to class these two days?" ”

Yu Xiaoxiu didn't have a good impression of Xue Wenzhe, Yu Shu used to like Xue Wenzhe, he knew how to say, for this matter, she didn't attract people to laugh behind her back, Yu Xiaoxiu's memory was full of Xue Wenzhe's disgust and contempt for his sister, and now his sister has finally changed for the better, no longer flattering this little white face, he doesn't want her to change back, so he became vigilant, squinted his eyes up, and looked at Xue Wenzhe, who was a head taller than him, without showing weakness:

"What's your business?"

"I, I-" Xue Wenzhe was uncomfortable by Yu Xiaoxiu's eyes, he wanted to say that he held a banquet in the restaurant on his birthday the day after tomorrow, and by the way, he invited this pair of poor brothers and sisters, stammered a few words, and felt aggrieved, and was about to get angry, when he heard someone behind him answer for Yu Xiaoxiu:

"She hit her cousin, and her grandmother won't let her come to school." Ji Zhu walked up from behind and said lightly.

"Huh? She, she hit Ma Weibo? Xue Wenzhe was surprised: "Really? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Xuanxie, looking for Ma Weibo's figure, and when Yu Xiaoxiu saw Ji Zhu coming, he folded the homework in his hand and turned around and left without saying a word.

"What am I lying to you about," Ji Zhu frowned, she had known Xue Wenzhe since she was a child, and she had a good relationship on weekdays, and she didn't speak inhibitively.

Xue Wenzhe didn't see Ma Weibo, and asked Ji Zhu again: "Then she won't come in the future?" ”

The girl's mind is mostly sensitive, Ji Zhu noticed the tension in Xue Wenzhe's words, and couldn't help but be a little unhappy, and sneered:

"Don't you hate her, and care about this."

"Who said I cared!" Xue Wenzhe denied it loudly, and said in shame: "Last time she insulted me, I haven't settled accounts with her yet, if she doesn't come, who will I find to be angry!" ”

He didn't care about the annoying girl, but he just looked at her strange and pitiful, dressed in tatters, without a single good dress, and presumably couldn't eat enough, so he wanted to call her over on her birthday, let her see the style, and humiliate her again.

Ji Zhu loosened his eyebrows, smiled, changed his hand to hold the book, and his voice softened: "My fourth sister came back with a little letter, saying that she was in a hurry last time and couldn't get together with us, and when she comes back next time, call you, and then call Shangwen Yan and them, let's go out and go to the river." ”

Xue Wenzhe was stunned, smiled suddenly, and some suspicious red marks appeared on Junxiu's face, and he couldn't help but change his tone in surprise:

"Really? What did she say in the letter? Say you're going to play with me and us next time? ”

"Of course it's true, I'll bring her letter to you tomorrow," Ji Zhu saw that he no longer pursued Yu Shu's affairs, and the discomfort in his heart was gone, and he pulled his sleeve and walked out:

"But if you want to invite me to eat the hibiscus cake of Yuanguiwu, let's go."

"Okay, Ha Luha, let's go!" Xue Wenzhe was happily dragged away by her, completely forgetting about inviting Yu Shu to his birthday banquet.

***

Yu Shu came back from the work in Jingshutang, it was not yet noon, Yu Xiaoxiu did not come back, Aunt Liu and the two servants next door were helping in the big kitchen.

The stove room in the small courtyard was empty, Yu Shu carried a bucket into the stove room, plugged the door upside down from the inside, and began to work, killing fish to remove scales and picking internal organs.

lit the stove, put Aunt Liu's big pot for stir-frying, found the slimy oil bowl on the fire, sniffed it and didn't smell strange, then poured some into the pot, peeled some green onions and ginger, smashed it with a blunt knife, the oil was hot, and the fat fish was put in with his tail.

"W-"

Accidentally splashed a drop of oil on her wrist, burned her hand shake, quickly lowered her head and licked, to see that the fish was almost fried, then changed again, and waited for the fragrance to come out, added a small half pot of hot water, covered the fish body, put salt and ginger, covered the pot cover, turned her head to clean up the internal organs and fish scales on the ground, carried the fish left in the bucket, ran out of the bucket and hid behind the tree yesterday.

The fried fish is easy to cook, Yu Shushou smelled the fragrance by the pot, and couldn't help but taste the taste first, the milky fish soup boiled, she almost bit her tongue when it was fresh, even she was surprised, how can this fish soup made by cutting corners be delicious?

Yu Shu didn't know, the pond of carp in the courtyard of Mrs. Ji was carefully cultivated with feng shui array, and there were eight treasure array eyes in the pool, which was arranged by Mrs. Ji himself, absorbing the breath of the sun and the moon, and extracting the essence of the morning fog, the koi carp became the eight treasure fragrant carp, the taste is the best delicacy, take this eight-treasure fragrant carp as food, not only has the effect of brightening the eyes and nourishing the face, eat it for a long time, but also add more blessings, fifteen family banquets every month, only kill a fish, put it on the main table, this fish eight bowls of soup, not who wants to drink can drink.

The Ji family knew a lot about it, so they didn't deliberately send someone to guard the pond of fish, how could they think that Yu Shu, a greedy cat, would steal the Babao fragrant carp in the pond while everyone was sleeping before dawn.

Yu Shu put the lid on the pot, hummed a children's poem, and began to clean the stove.

She counted the time just right, she entered the house with fish soup on her front foot, and Aunt Liu came back to cook with someone on her back foot.

Afraid that the soup would be cold, Yu Shu took a bamboo grate and covered it on the basin containing the fish soup, covered the fragrance, squatted at the door with the book "Qimen" to read, and looked at the gate of the courtyard from time to time.

"Minor repair!"

As soon as Yu Xiaoxiu entered the courtyard, he heard Yu Shu shouting at him, looked up and saw her waving at him at the door of the house, thinking that something was wrong, he hurriedly ran over, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he was pulled into the house by her.

"What's wrong?" Yu Xiaoxiu watched in confusion as she closed the door and bolted the door again, and the room immediately became half dark.

"Come, sit down, give you something to eat." Yu Shu coaxed Yu Xiaoxiu to sit down at the table, took away the grate covered by the basin, the white smoke rose, she directly piled a pot of fish soup in front of him, handed him a spoon, and said:

"Eat it while it's hot, drink the soup first and then eat the fish, and be careful of getting stuck in the thorns."

Yu Xiaoxiu looked at the big fish lying in the white soup in the basin in a daze, first of all, he didn't feel moved, but swallowed his saliva, and said in surprise:

"Where, where did the fish come from?"

Yu Shu thought about it, stuffed the spoon into his hand, and patted him on the shoulder: "You eat first, and I'll tell you after eating." ”

I guess she said it, and he didn't have an appetite to eat.

The taste of fish soup is very strong, sitting in the private school all morning, Yu Xiaoxiu's stomach is indeed hungry and thirsty, I can't help it, so I scooped a spoonful of soup and drank it, the fresh soup entered my throat, it was unusually delicious.

Yu Shu saw that his eyes lit up, and he knew that he liked it, and he was happy in his heart, but he still wanted to hear his praise more, so he deliberately asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

"It's delicious," Yu Xiaoxiu licked his lips and nodded, handing the spoon to Yu Shu, "You drink it too." ”

"You eat, I'll go to the kitchen and get another spoon." Yu Shu smelled the soup and was also greedy, thinking that he would not finish such a large pot alone, so he ran to the kitchen and got another spoon.

A pot of soup and a fish, the sisters and brothers ate cleanly, and there were fish bones left in the last pot, but they didn't know that even their stepfather, Ji Xiaogu, the third master of the Ji family, had never eaten this eight-treasure fragrant carp so happily.

Yu Shu picked his teeth with fish bones, Yu Xiaoxiu burped again, wiped his mouth, and asked:

"Now it's time to talk about it, where did you get the fish?"

I heard that a fresh fish on the street costs one or two silver, and it is such a big one, where did she get so much money, she definitely didn't buy it.

Yu Shu didn't want to trick him about this fish, so he said it one by one, it just so happened that Yu Xiaoxiu was also a shallow fish in the Ji family, and he didn't know so many stories, so he couldn't know how powerful this eight-treasure fish was, but he just thought that Yu Shu caught the fish in the old lady's garden, and his face **:

"What if there are a number of fish in the pond, and people will investigate you and catch you stealing the fish?"

"What's the number, a pool of fish, can you still fish out every day and count the less?" Yu Shu smiled, she acted as a person, she was not afraid if she did it, and she would not do it if she was afraid.

Yu Xiaoxiu was not at ease, the smell of fish was still in his mouth, and his stomach was warm, but it was too comfortable, so he would be uneasy:

"Did you clean up the stove? Don't throw the washed things in the yard, take them out and throw them on the street in the afternoon. ”

Yu Shu nodded, got up and opened the door, let the fragrance of the fish soup disperse, and put the pot of fish bones behind the door to hide, ready to go out in the afternoon and throw them away.

Yu Xiaoxiu went to get a rag to wipe the table, "There's still a fish left, isn't it?" No, put it back at night, right? ”

Yu Shu was unwilling, "What to do when you put it back, I finally caught it, how delicious this fish is, next time I will change other tricks for you." "She waited for the opportunity to braise the remaining fish, so she didn't let it go.

Yu Xiaoxiu was also greedy, and when he heard her say this, he struggled for a while, and then compromised: "Then you hide it well, don't let people find out." ”

"You can rest assured that I will do something."

It's her doing things that doesn't make people feel at ease, Yu Xiaoxiu secretly rolled his eyes, remembered one thing again, and said suspiciously, "By the way, when did you learn to cook fish soup?" ”

"Ha, isn't this easy, Aunt Liu is working in the kitchen, I'll just stand and look at it a few times, this is called self-taught, understand?" Yu Shu began to brag when he was full, anyway, he didn't have to file taxes, and he didn't brag or brag.

"I'm strange how dare you kill fish, you used to be scared when you saw Aunt Liu killing chickens."

Yu Shu sighed in his heart, and sneered: "I'm killing fish and not chickens, can it be the same?" ”

Of course it's different, people have changed, what is there to be afraid of.

"Oh, and, today—"

Yu Shu was afraid that he would ask something again, so he quickly intercepted his words and pushed the person out of the door, "Why are you doing so much, don't say it yet, go wash your hands quickly, and come back to help me recognize a few words." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu walked out a few steps and looked back at her, originally wanting to say that Xue Wenzhe inquired about her in the morning, but then thought about it again, if he wanted his sister to know that little white face was worried about her, she relapsed into her old ways, and then went to talk to that annoying guy?

Hmph, don't tell her.
