Chapter 11: Homecoming

Three days later, Ai Qiaoqiao followed the shopkeeper Feng's truck and finally arrived at Chuanziling.

"From here, go east is Huai'an City, you go to the west, and after the ridge in front is Xiaofang Village." Feng Yirun pointed to the mountain road in front of him.

Ai Qiaoqiao got out of the car and thanked the shopkeeper Feng.

Feng Yirun smiled happily, "It's rare that you have good cooking skills, and I have been full of food in the past three days, if you can't get along in Xiaofang Village in the future, you can come to Huai'an City to find me, and it will not be a problem to be a cook with this skill." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao thanked again and again.

Her cooking skills were taught by her father, but more of her own talent was in it.

Originally, her father didn't want her to learn this craft, but she just liked to ponder it, and her father and mother spoiled her, so she went.

Ai Qiaoqiao walked down the mountain road, and in the distance, a village appeared at the foot of the mountain.

Ai Qiaoqiao stopped and stood there looking down the hill when he heard the creaking sound of a wooden wheel behind him.

When I turned my head, I saw two people walking on the mountain road, an adult man in his thirties, wearing a coarse short coat, carrying a bow and arrow behind his back, and pulling a flatbed cart in his hand.

A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old walked beside him, with a tall and thin figure, dark skin, and bright eyes, looking very energetic.

"Excuse me, is this a small house?" Ai Qiaoqiao hid on the side of the road and asked them.

"yes, who are you looking for?" The adult man didn't speak, and the teenager asked first.

"Lao Ai's family...... Is it to stay here? Ai Qiaoqiao asked.

Hearing this, the young man was stunned, and even the adult man beside him changed his face.

"Ah, yes, it's here, and the third one in the west after entering the village." The adult man pulled the car with his head bored, and passed by Ai Qiaoqiao without looking back.

The boy walked a long way before turning back and taking a deep look at her.

Ai Qiaoqiao was puzzled.

Seeing them like this, it's like they're afraid of having something to do with her.

Looking down at her dress, she was relieved again.

She is still wearing the purple dress that left the night, although the clothes are of high quality, but the discerning person can tell at a glance that it is not hers.

They are afraid that they regard her as a relative who has come to run to her in distress.

Descending the hill, Ai Qiaoqiao followed the direction of the young man's guidance and came to a courtyard.

The door of the courtyard was open, and the woman's curses came from the upper room.

"Where are all the people dying, if you don't go to dinner, do you want to starve people to death!"

Ai Qiaoqiao entered the courtyard gate, only to see two women standing in the courtyard with shrunken hands, hiding in the corner and whispering, and no one bothered to deal with the cursing in the upper room.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, go to the kitchen to cook, the people who went to work in the fields are coming back soon, where are you lazy!"

A woman in the courtyard raised her voice, "Mother, let me go to the garden and pick some vegetables...... It's time for the third daughter-in-law to cook tonight. ”

The sound of cursing in the upper room couldn't help but pause.

"Hmph, third daughter-in-law, that woman with a bad heart has hooked my third son away from home for so many years, and she is rotten, I still have to take care of her food......"

Then came the old woman's babbling and abuse in the upper room.

Ai Qiaoqiao's steps towards the interior couldn't help but slow down.

Her father is the third in the Ai family, could it be that this voice is scolding her mother?

The two women standing in the courtyard looked up just in time to see her.

"Huh? It's ......"

"Second aunt, I'm back." Ai Qiaoqiao recognized one of the women at a glance as the second aunt Zhong Shi and Zhong Meijuan, who had picked up their mother and daughter that day.

Zhong Shi looked at her dumbfounded, his mouth was half open, and suddenly let out a scream: "Ghost! ”
