Ai Qiaoqiao was sent back to Xiaofang Village by Ye Bing.

Ai Qiaoqiao went to Aunt Ji's house overnight and brought the Lan family back.

"Thank you Aunt Ji these days, I'll make more delicious food tomorrow night, Auntie must come then."

Aunt Ji just said expressionlessly: "No need." So he shut the gate of the courtyard.

Ai Qiaoqiao was helpless, but she knew that Aunt Ji was so cold-faced and hot-hearted, and she didn't thank her, so she had to take the Lan family back to the old mansion first.

Listening to the wind and rain, I was very happy to see her come back, and gathered around her to talk about her absence these days.

Since she left Xiaofang Village, Lao Ai's family has not stopped.

Ai Mingshan couldn't afford to be sick, and he didn't see any improvement when he invited Daxian, and later Ai Tiancheng took the initiative to go to the city to invite a doctor, but Ma asked Ai Tiancheng to pay for the old man's medicine.

Ai Tiancheng had no money in his hands, so he had to ask his daughter-in-law for it.

When Qiu heard that she was going to use her dowry money, she immediately quit, and after crying a lot, she rolled up her burden and went back to her parents' house that night.

After taking medicine, Ai Mingshan gradually improved, but his body was a lot weaker, and he had to take medicine every day to make up for his body.

The Wang family finally paid off the debts owed, and Ai Yonggui had no errands so he could only stay at home every day, and follow his eldest brother Ai Tiancheng to work in the field during the day.

Ma Shi urged him several times and asked him to go back to the city to find an errand, but he only paid lip service.

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled secretly in her heart.

It's not that Ai Yonggui doesn't want to go back to the city, he's afraid.

Master Daifuku's encounter with the killer is likely to be inseparable from him.

Ai Yonggui saw that the shopkeeper and the owner of Yuelou were all dead, and he was afraid that he would also take retribution on himself, so he hid.

But it should be difficult to stay in the village all day.

Ai Yonggui's kind of person, who is used to being at ease in the city, and now suddenly wants to turn back into a farmer in the countryside, how can he be willing.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wu heard the news that Ai Qiaoqiao was back and hurriedly ran over.

"The stall in Niangniang Temple has long been out of steamed buns to sell, and if you don't come back, even the braised eggs you made will be sold out."

Ai Qiaoqiao was shocked, and ran to the kitchen to see, sure enough, the jar containing the braised eggs was empty, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly, "If I come back later, you will tear down this house and sell it." ”

Zhang Wu smiled.

The two settled the accounts of these days, and Ai Qiaoqiao found that their stall still made a lot of money, which could make their lives more comfortable, but it was far from enough to open a restaurant in Huai'an City.

"I won't be out of the stall today, you call Brother Wen and Sister-in-law Runxue in the evening, and we will have a reunion dinner." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "I got a lot of reward money in Luofu, I have worked hard these days, I buy some lamb chops when I come back, the radishes in the field should be able to eat, I make casserole radish lamb chops at night, and eat this warm ...... in autumn."

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious again, Zhang Wu immediately became excited, and trotted out to deliver a letter to Brother Wen.

Ai Qiaoqiao prepared the ingredients to be used in the evening in advance, and when she came out, she was about to talk to her mother, but when she looked up, she saw Lan Shi embroidering flowers and talking to Ye Bing.

Ye Bing looked at the patterns embroidered by the Lan clan in surprise, and was humbly asking something.

"Sister Ye, I thought you were gone......" Ai Qiaoqiao said in surprise.

Ye Bing seemed to be extremely interested in embroidery, picked up the fabric embroidered by the Lan family and compared it back and forth, "I will stay with you until Yegongzi comes back, you don't want to take care of my food." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao almost dropped her jaw.

"That's ...... Won't it bother you too much. ”

Ye Bing smiled indifferently, "You don't have to care, I do things for Yegongzi to pay off debts, if you have any mistakes before he comes back, I won't be able to explain to Gongzi at that time." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, and an invisible warmth welled up in her heart.

Since she lost her father, she has been dependent on her mother for her life, relying on herself for everything, and has never had anything to rely on or hope for.

Nightfall didn't promise her anything, but he secretly arranged everything for her.

He didn't hinder her freedom, but let her do what she liked, he just watched her silently in secret.

Ai Qiaoqiao subconsciously stroked his chest.

A heart seems to be beating much faster than usual.

Even though she wanted to keep her sanity, her heart betrayed her, revealing its truest feelings.

Ai Qiaoqiao hung a lantern outside the door of the east house.

Lamp.

Wait......

I'll wait for you to come back.

At noon, Ai Qiaoqiao settled the Lan family, and she took some of the snacks and medicinal herbs she bought from Huai'an City to the Ai family's compound.

Everyone in the family knew that she had gone to Luofu to help cook, so as soon as she entered the door, Ma's eyes were fixed on the things she was carrying.

"Master, I've come to see you, are you feeling better?" Ai Qiaoqiao enthusiastically leaned over to the kang and put the things in his hand on the kang.

Ai Mingshan sat up with his back against the quilt, "Much better...... Hey, you're bringing so much stuff to do. ”

Ai Qiaoqiao put things in front of him one by one, "This is a snack from the guest house, and it is also beneficial to the medicinal materials of the herb hall, which are all good for the body, and let the milk stew soup for you to drink at night, which is good for the body." ”

Ai Mingshan smiled and nodded.

Ma Shi snorted, "How much does it cost to stew soup every day, you make money outside and come back with these things to send us away, really when we are asking for food......"

Ai Mingshan was about to change his face, but Ai Qiaoqiao turned to Ma Shi with a smile, "By the way, milk, have you paid back the Wang family's three hanging money?" ”

Hearing this, Ma's body suddenly stiffened, and she pretended to get off the kang and went to the door.

"Where's the milk?" Ai Qiaoqiao deliberately raised her voice so that the people in the courtyard could also hear it, "Since the Wang family's debt has been repaid, my grandmother will give me a ticket for me and my mother as jewelry." ”

Ma Shi was stunned.

Last time, Ai Qiaoqiao mentioned asking her to make an IOU, but how did it turn out to be ...... this time Asking for a ticket?

Ai Mingshan looked at her inexplicably.

Ai Qiaoqiao showed a sincere smile, "My grandmother is right, I made some money by helping the kitchen in the city, how can I forget you and my grandmother, I don't want an IOU, my grandmother directly gave me the pawn ticket as jewelry, and I saved enough money in the future, I went to the pawnshop to redeem the things myself." ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to Ma, her little hand open.

When the ticket, when the ticket is taken.

The little hands were one by one, as if they were silently greeting Ma's.

Ma froze in place, only to feel that his scalp was exploding, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt into flames.

Where does she have any tickets, Ai Qiaoqiao and her mother's jewelry have long let her privately subsidize Ai Qiaohua as a dowry.

It would be better if she was asked to write an IOU, as a ticket...... She really didn't!

The money to return the Wang family belonged to Yuwen Gongzi, and he heard that the Ai family owed the Wang family money, so he sent someone directly to the Wang family without saying a word.

The Wang family saw that Yuwen Gongzi came forward, so they happily accepted the money, and there was no trouble in finding the Ai family.

Ma Shi gasped for breath.

, I didn't expect that it was not the Wang family who troubled her in the end, but her seemingly inconspicuous granddaughter.
