I have to say that today's Huo Shiqi is no longer the Huo Seventeen that Shang Chengcai saw when he came, which can be seen from the five-flavor porridge placed in front of everyone. This porridge not only contains ordinary dried fruits such as pine nuts and walnut kernels, but also lotus seeds, longan meat and red dates, and even the rice used to boil the porridge is not ordinary yellow rice, but glutinous rice that is extremely rare on the market; The sweet and sticky porridge noodles are sprinkled with a thin layer of chopped raisins, hawthorn cake, rose sugar sorghum syrup, and the red, red and green green are matched together, which makes people swallow and salivate when they look at it. Shang Cheng couldn't help but drink three bowls in a row, until he caught a glimpse of Lianniang constantly glancing at him, and then he couldn't finish saying enough to Erya, who still wanted to serve porridge for him.

Seeing that he was eating happily, Aunt Seventeen also said happily: "The little monk just eats, there is still one in the rice bucket here." Since I came here to my aunt, I must be polite one by one, this is the porridge I personally boiled in the kitchen, and I boiled a big pot full of ingredients......"

Shang Cheng pressed his bowl with his hand to prevent Erya from snatching it, and said, "It's really enough." Then he turned his face to the seventeenth aunt who was sitting first at the other table and said, "I haven't drunk such fragrant Laba 115 flavor porridge for many years." It's still my aunt's stove skills, when will I let Lianniang come over and learn a few hands from you......" While he was talking, Erya, who had been persevering, finally snatched the pottery bowl from under him, and went to fill him with a bowl of porridge.

Although she knew in her heart that Shang Cheng was saying a compliment, Aunt Seventeen was still happy and smiled: "Actually, Lianniang's craftsmanship is not bad, but compared to my aunt, it is naturally a little worse." This boiled five-flavor porridge, it also has a particular, what you want is to burn slowly on low heat, the porridge soup in the pot only gurgles and does not boil, boil carefully for an hour or two, and the fragrance of the fruit will naturally soak into the rice porridge. When I first got married, Sister-in-law Zhu also taught me a method of boiling porridge and getting more fragrant......" Speaking of this, she suddenly lost her voice, lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, suddenly stood up and left her seat, walked to the porridge bucket and took the bowl again, grabbed a bowl of porridge, and handed it to Liu Laozhu with both hands.

"Brother Zhuzi, I know that for the sake of the original incident, you still hate Gongze in your heart, and even more resentful of me......"

She was talking about the method of boiling porridge, and everyone listened to it with relish, but she suddenly stopped talking, and everyone was a little puzzled, and then saw that she had specially served another bowl of porridge for Liu Laozhu, who didn't eat and drink much with a blank face, and everyone was even more surprised and speechless. There are only two ignorant female babies who recruit younger brothers and four girls, and they are still holding their own small bowls and licking their mouths and smacking their tongues. In addition to these two little dolls, everyone in the house knows that when Liu Laozhu proposed marriage for Shang Cheng Denghuo's family, he was almost sick with the words of Aunt Seventeen, although Aunt Seventeen later said that Shang Cheng and Lianniang were related, but the anger in his heart has not disappeared; Now he has almost broken off contact with the Huo family, in the past two or three months, only two days ago, when the eldest girl got married, he stepped into the threshold of the Huo family, if Huo Shiqi hadn't invited him in person today, he would definitely not have come to eat this meal.

“…… Brother Zhuzi, everything happened at the beginning, all the mistakes were my fault, I don't ask you to be considerate of me, let alone ask you to forgive me, I just ask you to be considerate and considerate of Gongze one by one. He's bitter, too. Brother Zhuzi, you have also seen it over the years, how their Huo family treats Gongze one by one, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest girl is married to a good husband now, Gongze's father's tablet will not enter the ancestral hall of the Huo family......" As she spoke, she wiped her eyes and wiped several tears before swallowing her voice and saying, "Brother Zhuzi, Gongze often said that if it weren't for you back then, he and his wife might have starved to death, if you didn't help his family, he wouldn't be able to read the book, let alone enter the yamen to run an errand before taking the exam." He also said that in this life, he is grateful to God for his parents, and even more grateful to God for letting him meet such a good brother as you. …… Even in the two years after I got married, if it weren't for you and my sister-in-law to help me inside and out, the eldest girl might not be able to keep it. Now I remember that year Gongze went to the capital to take the exam, in the cold winter and heavy snow, you ran twenty miles to invite a doctor to treat the eldest girl for a fever, and took the prescription to the county seat overnight to catch medicine for her, so as to snatch her life back from the hands of the king of Hades. Every time I think about it, my heart is miserable...... It's so uncomfortable......" she choked up.

Liu Laozhu buried his face, sighed for a long time, and said, "Alas, it's all in the past......"

Hearing him say this, the seventeenth aunt's face immediately turned from sadness to joy, wiped her tears, and held the porridge bowl in her hand in front of Liu Laozhu, and said respectfully: "Okay, I won't say it." From today on, Brother Zhuzi, you can no longer hold grudges against the past, just like before, come and say when you should come, don't let Gongze scold me every day for being an ignorant dead mother-in-law. ”

The corners of Huo Shiqi's mouth twitched several times, and he didn't know whether he wanted to laugh or scold his mother-in-law. Erya, who was stealing wine and drinking, had already laughed out loud, and was immediately lightly knocked on the head by Lianniang with chopsticks. Shang Cheng reacted quickly, immediately put down the bowl and picked up the wine jug, poured wine for Huo Shiqi and Liu Laozhu, and the two of them touched the wine bowl and drank it all, even if the matter was completely revealed.

The knot between the two families of Liu Huo was untied, and the atmosphere in the room became more and more lively, first the second girl drank too much wine and went crazy, babbling with a red face and singing a slang song that she didn't know where she learned, and the lyrics of Brother Jun's pretty sister made her scold her father and mother for several words, and was scratched by Yue'er and asked who was her handsome brother for a long time, and which family she looked at was born. Then Lianniang, who couldn't drink much, also sang a "Qixi Ballad", and everyone praised her for her good voice, but Shang Cheng couldn't understand the ancient folk song of Yanshan with three tones, one turn, five tones, and one winding, and when he got home, he twisted his mother-in-law and asked, what is this "Qixi Ballad" singing.

Lian Niang taught him word by word:

"Since ancient times, there have been many men in Yanshan, and they have increased their fields with their backs;

Originated, Yanjing produced a good woman, and the plough and hoe did not lose. ”

"Since ancient times, there have been many men in Yanshan, and the mountains have opened up roads to the Central Plains;

Originated, Yanjing produced a good woman, and Fumuzha Bridge did not lose. ”

"Since ancient times, there have been many men in Yanshan, whipping horses and chasing Hu Zhang;

Originated, Yanjing produced a good woman, and she did not lose with a bow and arrow. ”

Shang Cheng didn't speak anymore after hearing this. The lyrics are so plain, so plain that they seem to be in the vernacular, and it is indeed the vernacular; Its content is also too simple, it is nothing more than men and women working together to cultivate wasteland, build roads and bridges, and fight with foreigners together. But if you chew it carefully, it will teach people to feel extremely emotional, just one by one, "Yanshan's daughter does not lose", it will vividly describe the tenacious and indomitable tenacity of Yanshan people.

Until late at night, he still couldn't sleep, Lianniang's crisp and stoic voice still echoed in his ears, the straightforward lyrics, the sigh-like whispering, always echoed in his mind, making his blood surging and his mood stirred.

“…… Since ancient times, there have been many men in Yanshan, whipping horses and chasing Hu Zhang; Originated, Yanjing produced a good woman, and she did not lose with a bow and arrow. ”

He silently recited this ballad in his heart over and over again, feeling the majestic heroic spirit in the lyrics again and again. "Don't lose the general", "Don't lose the general", maybe there is no rhetoric in this world, can compare with the simple and magnificent picture depicted in these three words, and there will be no other words, can vividly show the people on this land that are not afraid of the sky and the land and are not afraid of the enemy......

In a daze, he seemed to hear someone banging on his courtyard door.

Lianniang is more vigilant than him. When he was still judging whether the knock on the door was his hallucination, Lian Niang had already half of her body and asked through the window, "Who?" ”

"Brother monk, open the door! Open the door, Brother Monk......"

There was a cry in this voice, both sharp and thin, and it was heard very clearly in the silent night of winter, and it pierced people's ears like a needle prick, and Shang Cheng and Lianniang couldn't help but shiver.

Shang Cheng's hand had already touched the handle of the short knife under the pillow, and he felt a little more steady, so he grabbed his trembling wife with one hand, raised his voice and asked, "Who?" Who's out there? ”

"Brother Monk......" The people outside were already crying. At this time, Shang Cheng heard that there was more than one person outside.

"It's Erya!" Lianniang said. She dragged the clothes of the kang head indiscriminately, wrapped them around her body and was about to open the door. Shang Cheng grabbed her and roared in a low voice; "I'll go! Hand me the pants! Don't light the lights! Get dressed first! ”
