When Mother Chen saw the girl, she happily walked up a few steps and said, "Xi'er, are you here?" ”

The girl named Xi'er had crooked eyes and said with a smile: "Auntie, my father said that today is your birth (rì), let me send you some money." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver, which was as much as five taels, and handed it to Chen's mother.

Chen's mother took the silver and said, "It's hard for my eldest brother to remember my life (rì), but he doesn't care about his family, what should he do if he gives me so much silver?" ”

Xi'er said mischievously: "It's true, this is all my father's private money that he usually secretly saves, but don't worry about him, he can't be hungry." ”

"Okay, thank you big brother for me, Xi'er, don't go, the pot is stewed (ròu), eat something and then leave." Mother Chen looked at Chen Xi'er with blank eyes, hoping that she could stay.

Chen Xi'er looked into the pot and said in surprise: "Such a big pot (ròu), aunt, have you made a fortune?" ”

"Where, it's the wild goat that your brother went to hunt, and he gave me a life (rì)."

"yes, that's good." Chen Xi'er sniffed and smiled: "It's really fragrant, then I'll eat some and leave." ”

"Great, go over there and wait, it'll be fine in no time."

Chen Xi'er walked over, and Chen Xunzong stood up and called his cousin. Chen Xi'er glanced at him and said, "You can, you know how to give birth to your mother (rì)." ”

"Huh." Chen Xunzong smiled innocently and said, "Thanks to Brother Ling's help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch that guy." By the way, this is Brother Ling Kunling, this is my cousin Chen Xi'er. ”

Ling Kun nodded to Chen Xi'er and said, "Hello, beauty." ”

Chen Xi'er's face turned red, and she lowered her head, how could she say such a greeting, saying that flirting is not teasing, saying that praising people is not praising people, how can you ask people to pick it up.

Chen Xunzong took out a small stool from the house, put it at Chen Xi'er's feet and said, "Cousin, sit down." ”

Ling Kun looked at Chen Xi'er with some curiosity, judging from her dress, she must be either rich or expensive, but as a close relative of her family, how could Chen Xunzong's family be so poor?

But now that there are so many people, it must be inappropriate to ask this question, in short, this family seems to have a story.

Chen Xi'er felt that Ling Kun was looking at her, becoming more and more shy, but she was faintly proud in her heart, she knew her own appearance, and wherever she walked was the focus. It's a pity that the kid on the other side is coarse cloth and short clothes, and he should also be a house slave living in this courtyard, and he is not qualified to look at Miss Ben like this (shēn) part.

What do you watch, have you seen enough? Chen Xi'er finally couldn't help it, raised her head and said angrily.

"Oh." Ling Kun touched his nose and said, "Isn't this looking good-looking?" If you don't look good, I'm too lazy to look at it. ”

"You...... It's good-looking, and you can't just look at it. Chen Xi'er said angrily.

"That's not casual." Ling Kun was idle and bored, so he happened to tease the little beauty.

"It's not casual for her to marry you." Chen Xunzong mended the knife on the side.

Chen Xi'er was embarrassed and said angrily: "Xunzong, you talk nonsense about me again." ”

Chen's mother was anxious, and slapped Chen Xunzong twice on the back of the head and scolded: "You dead child, why did you make your cousin angry?" Apologize quickly. ”

Chen Xunzong smiled and said: "Cousin, I said the wrong thing, in fact, Brother Ling (tǐng) is good, he is not poor, he is just ......." ”

"You still say, you dare to say it." Chen Xi'er pointed at him and scolded.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Chen Xunzong hurriedly stopped.

With this play, Ling Kun was embarrassed to tease the beauties anymore, and the beauties naturally would not take the initiative to talk to them, the house slaves, so the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Fortunately, the sheep (ròu) had been stewed, and Chen's mother moved the small table outside of the house, filled a plate of sheep (ròu) and put it on the table, beckoning Chen Xi'er and Ling Kun to come to the table to eat.

Chen Xi'er didn't want to eat with the house slaves, if it was just her aunt and cousin, she could still make up, at least she was a relative, but what was it to have an extra Ling Kun? However, looking at my aunt's earnest eyes, I still sat down, just as far away as possible, and my eyes were full of disgust.

Ling Kun couldn't care about these anymore, grabbed a leg of mutton and handed it to Chen Xunzong, picked up a piece and ate it himself. After taking a bite, I found that Chen's mother hadn't eaten yet, so she said vaguely: "Auntie, you can eat too, the weather is cold, and it will be cold after a while." ”

Chen's mother hurriedly said: "You eat first, I'll share it with the neighbors, and it will be fine right away." ”

Ling Kun didn't say much when he heard this, and in the blink of an eye, he ate another piece.

It's really fragrant, it seems that I have never eaten such a fragrant sheep (ròu), and I am about to catch up with Zhao Mingyue to reward his roast chicken.

Chen Xi'er frowned and watched Ling Kun feast with disgust, the juice splashed, and she really wanted to put down the bowl and leave quickly. But first, I can't lose my aunt's face, and second, it seems to be really fragrant, which is far stronger than the delicacies of the mountains and seas that I usually eat.

So, she tried to take a small bite, and sure enough, it was good

, delicious, full of aftertaste, can't help but want to eat a second bite.

Chen Xunzong has no seasoning condiments at home, and there is nothing but salty salt when stewing (ròu), but in this way, the original flavor of wild goat (ròu) is released, which is a delicacy that Chen Xi'er has never tried for a rich kid.

Chen's mother gave her neighbors a ròu, filled her plate, and sat down herself.

At this time, Chen Xi'er was also happy to eat, and she forgot to dislike Ling Kun. Everyone ate it and happily wished Chen Musheng (rì) happiness. The courtyard (rè) was unusual, full of jubilation, and Chen's mother was even more happy with tears.

However, at this moment, a few young people came outside, dressed gorgeously but pretty. One of them came in and shouted, "Hey, these house slaves are eating so well?" ”

Mother Chen was shocked when she saw it, and hurriedly stood up and trotted over and said, "Second son, you are here." ”

"Mother Chen?" The second prince was surprised: "Lao Tzu smelled the fragrance from afar, and thought it was a newly opened restaurant, it turned out to be your house, you (tǐng) have money, did you steal it (ròu) on my stove?" ”

Chen's mother waved her hand again and again: "No, second son, today is my birth (rì), my son hunted wild goats in the suburbs, the second son appreciates his face, let's eat some together." ”

"Wild goats, no wonder they smell from afar." The second son looked at the small half pot (ròu) left in the pot, stepped on the stove with one foot, picked up the chopsticks with one hand and took out a piece and bit it hard, and praised it: "Well, it's delicious, it's really good, Lao Tzu has not lived as a house slave for so many years, come, you all taste it." ”

A few people in the entourage giggled and laughed, surrounding the stove, eating even more ugly than Ling Kun.

Chen Xi'er is even more disgusted, this slum is a slum, look at these people, they are rude and unbearable, I really regret staying here to eat.

The second son ate several pieces in a row, and finally was full, and turned around and said: "Yes, yes, Mother Chen, you should first honor the mansion if you have this good thing, how can you eat it yourself, don't you know what (shēn) you have, is this what you eat?" ”

"Yes, yes, I won't dare next time." Chen's mother apologized again and again.

Ling Kun frowned, whose vicious dog is this who has come out to bite people again.

"Oh, it's not just good food, it's beautiful women." The second son happened to see Chen Xi'er, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and walked over to this side in surprise.
