Zhu Youzhen deliberately said a joke to ease the atmosphere, but as soon as the cage drawer was opened, Du Chenchen's face changed, and he was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry.

Jinxiu saw that Du Chenchen's appearance was wrong, and hurriedly brought the cage drawer back to Zhu Youzhen, our son-in-law likes to eat radish rolls, and it's not good to give the rest to you, no one is allowed to rob it with our son-in-law.

Jinxiu looked domineering, just afraid that Du Chenchen would be sad, Luo Yangxing and the others had long been accustomed to Jinxiu's style, and said: "Okay, good, you only have your son-in-law in your eyes, we will let you be a little girl." ”

As soon as he saw that the cage of radish rolls was back in front of Zhu Youzhen, Du Chenchen burst out laughing, then sat down and said to Jinxiu: "Sister is so good." ”

Jinxiu didn't talk back to Du Chenchen, but said to Zhu Youzhen: "Childe likes to eat this radish roll, if you are worried that you won't be able to eat it in the future, just bring the chef who made the radish roll?" ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard Jinxiu's words, the hand that was going to get the radish roll suddenly hung there, and then he smiled awkwardly and said: "Why is Xiu'er so ignorant, Uncle Du is such a precious daughter, if I take the chef away, Uncle Du will not be distressed to death, I will be able to eat the radish roll in the future, but it will be bitter Uncle Du and Brother Du, is this son the kind of person who only cares about his own pleasure and does not care about the feelings of others?" ”

Lao Du shouted in his heart: "It's okay, it's okay, as long as it's three media and six hires, if you like it, take it away." It's just that he wasn't so thick-skinned after all, and he couldn't say this.

Although Zhu Youzhen said this with a smile, Jinxiu still heard a trace of unhappiness in Zhu Youzhen's tone, and this was the first time that Zhu Youzhen blamed her for being ignorant, so Jinxiu didn't dare to say more, just lowered her head and ate silently, Du Chenchen saw that Jinxiu complained about what she said, and she was also a little sorry in her heart, so she stretched out her hand and brought the pancake in front of Du Dongshan to Jinxiu and said: "Sister try this, this pancake is an authentic thing in our Xuzhou, and my sister may be able to eat it in other places, It's just that this pancake is gone away from Xuzhou Mansion, this dish pancake is my brother's favorite to eat, he can't get tired of eating three meals a day on weekdays, and he often goes out to ferry and bring some. ”

Du Dongshan rolled his eyes and said to Du Chenchen: "Do you still know that your brother loves vegetable pancakes the most?" I look like your brother doesn't like to eat at all, I've hurt you in vain all these years, don't think about letting me carry it for you next time you do something wrong. ”

Du Chenchen spit out his little tongue towards Du Dongshan, made a grimace and said, "Then I won't cook pancakes in the future." ”

Jinxiu saw the brother and sister bickering back and forth, and her heart was also overflowing, she understood that Du Dongshan was not bothering with her about these vegetable pancakes, but was just happy to joke with her sister-in-law, Jinxiu did not shirk, and took the vegetable pancakes in front of her and ate them.

As soon as she entered the mouth, Jinxiu forgot all about Zhu Youzhen's words about her, the outer layer of wheat pancakes was browned and crispy with soybean oil, and a layer of tender egg cakes was glued to the pancakes, and the inside was wrapped with fried shepherd's cabbage, leeks, diced tofu, vermicelli, etc., the skin was crispy when bitten into the mouth, the inside was soft and glutinous, crispy and suitable, and the fragrance was overflowing, and the taste was really indescribable.

Jinxiu couldn't stop nodding to Du Chenchen while eating, and let out a "uh-huh" approving sound in her mouth, which was unimaginable for Jinxiu, who had been raised by the etiquette in the palace since she was a child, and it was the first time she spoke when she was holding something in her mouth since she was a child, until she swallowed the food in her mouth, Jinxiu said to Du Chenchen: "Even I want to take you away as a chef." ”

Seeing Jinxiu's appearance, Zhu Youzhen reached out and took a radish roll from the cage drawer in front of him and put it on the plate in front of Jinxiu, then took out a vegetable pancake from it and stuffed it into his mouth, and said, "Xiu'er, you also taste the taste of radish rolls, this dish."

I also love pancakes, and we can communicate with each other. ”

Du Chenchen saw that Zhu Youzhen also liked to eat this pancake, but at this time, she couldn't take it all from Jinxiu and give it to Zhu Youzhen, so she had to say: "Brother Zhu likes to eat more." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled at Du Chenchen and nodded, but this smile fell into the city, and Du Chenchen was dizzy for a while, only feeling that there was no such warm smile in this world.

Until everyone finished eating, Du Chenchen couldn't say a word in his ears, but just looked at Zhu Youzhen in a daze.

It wasn't until Lao Du beckoned Dongshan to send off the group that Du Chenchen came back to his senses, it turned out that time passed so quickly, and they were about to leave in the blink of an eye.

At this time, outside the door, Gao Han had already called the carriage, Hu Bao and the others loaded the few salutes into the carriage, Zhu Youzhen and Lao Du and Dongshan thanked them, and walked out of the door.

Jinxiu took Du Chenchen's hand and said, "We're leaving, sister, take care." ”

Du Chenchen just watched the group go out in a daze, at this time Lao Du and Dongshan also stood outside the door and waved goodbye to a few people, only Du Chenchen stood alone in the courtyard, looking a little thin and lonely.

Until a few people got into the carriage, Du Chenchen ran quickly to the door and said to Lao Du and Dongshan: "Dad, brother, Brother Zhu They are not familiar with the road, it is better for my brother to send them to the Yellow River ferry, it is not far, they have taken a fork in the road." ”

Du Dongshan said suspiciously: "These coachmen all know the road, my sister doesn't have to worry." ”

Du Chenchen stomped his feet hatefully and said: "Brother is really annoying, he was still kind to the younger five and five before, how can he not even be willing to send a few steps away at this time?" ”

Lao Du on the side said: "Dongshan, let's go with your sister to send it off, watching them get on the boat, my heart is more steady." ”

When Du Chenchen heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said briskly: "Thank you, Dad!" ”

Then he flew and climbed into the carriage where Zhu Youzhen and Jinxiu were sitting.

Du Dongshan listened to his father's words, shook his head helplessly, and followed the second carriage.

In the carriage, Zhu Youzhen looked at Du Chenchen with a puzzled expression, and was very puzzled, could it be that Lao Du was really ready to let himself pack his daughter and take it away?

Jinxiu also asked for some reason: "Sister, this is?" ”

Du Chenchen sat next to Jinxiu and said happily: "My father is afraid that these coachmen will go a different way, so let me and my brother send you to the Yellow River ferry." ”

When Jinxiu heard Du Chenchen's words, she still didn't understand this little girl's thoughts, this must not be what Lao Du meant, it must be Du Chenchen's ghost idea.

After Du Chenchen sat down, Zhu Youzhen instructed the driver who was driving the car: "Let's go." ”

This road is very short, Lao Du's home and the Yellow River ferry are only four or five miles, not long after the carriage stopped, the coachman turned back to the carriage and said: "Childe, the carriage in front can't get in, there are still dozens of steps to the Yellow River ferry, I have to bother Gongzi to get off the car and walk a few steps." ”

Du Chenchen in the carriage heard the coachman's words, and muttered in his mouth, "Is it so fast?" On weekdays, I always feel that the crossing of the Yellow River is not so close. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't speak, he first lifted the sedan curtain and got out of the carriage, and Jinxiu helped Du Chenchen to follow Zhu Youzhen and got down.

The old road of the Yellow River in Xuzhou Mansion is not as turbulent as Shaanxi, the torrent hits the shore, the water flow in this season is not turbulent, the water at the Yellow River crossing is not as pale and turbid as imagined, it looks only the same as the general big river, and it seems to have some clear taste when it is far away.

It's just that the road to the crossing of the Yellow River is a little narrow and muddy, and it is not too easy to walk, so it is no wonder that the coachman is reluctant to go further.

Zhu Youzhen turned back with Jinxiu and

Du Chenchen and the others said "be careful", and then walked forward cautiously.

All the way to the ferry, this ferry is a stone platform about one zhang wide with rocks piled up from the bank of the Yellow River to the river, about five zhang wide, and two railings are enclosed on both sides with wood the thickness of an adult's arm.

There were many boats parked in Hanoi at this time, and Zhu Youzhen saw the largest three-story treasure ship at a glance, which was the ship between Xuzhou Mansion and Huai'an Mansion built by the Xuzhou Prefecture and the official government.

First, Gao Han and Hu Bao got on the boat to ask a few words, and then took out the silver and paid for the boat according to the number of people, and then beckoned Zhu Youzhen and a few people: "Son, this ship will take an hour to leave, so it's better to wait on the ship first." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded to Gao Han and the others, and then said to Du Dongshan and Du Chenchen: "Let's get on the boat first, and you should go back early." ”

Du Dongshan nodded, then waved his hand at Zhu Youzhen, and said, "Xiao Wu, you pay more attention to safety on the road, and come to Xuzhou Mansion in the future, and I will get you a few old turtles from Weishan Lake to make up for it." ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled at Du Dongshan, nodded, and said, "Yes." After saying that, he stopped and turned and walked towards the boat.

Du Dongshan pulled Du Chenchen and wanted to go back, but he couldn't pull it for a while, and then he saw Du Chenchen shake off his hand and follow Zhu Youzhen and the others towards the boat.

Du Dongshan said with a depressed face: "Chenchen, what are you doing?" ”

Du Chenchen said without replying: "Daddy said, I have to watch them leave before I feel at ease, there is still an hour before the boat starts, let's go up and wait together, and we will leave when the boat is about to leave." ”

Du Dongshan scratched his head and thought about it: "What Dad said seems to be that he is at ease when he sees them on the boat, when did he say that he was relieved to watch them leave?" ”

"It must be that my brother drank too much last night and forgot about it, and what Dad said was to watch them leave, so I said that you should drink less alcohol on weekdays, and it is easy to make mistakes when drinking."

Du Dongshan said: "How could the wine you drank last night forget what you said this morning?" But he didn't dwell on it for long, and walked with his sister towards the boat.

Zhu Youzhen walked a little farther, and he didn't hear the words of Du Chenchen and Du Dongshan behind him, but after Zhu Youzhen and his party got on the boat, Du Chenchen and Du Dongshan were stopped.

Du Chenchen said to the man: "We just went up to send people off, and we will come down when you sail." ”

The man said: "Forgive me, we have always been this rule, the send-off is until the dock, once we get on the boat, where do we go to distinguish which ones have paid the fare, and which ones are to see off." ”

As soon as he heard this, Du Dongshan suddenly felt reasonable, so he pulled Du Chenchen and said, "Since we can't go up, let's go back." ”

Du Chenchen said unrelentingly: "No, Dad said that if you want to watch them leave, you must watch them leave, and it won't work for a while, aren't you worried about Dad because of his worries?" Brother, we'll pay him the money. ”

Du Dongshan said: "What are you talking about, how can there be anything wrong with Daddy?" You really ...... Or let's just watch the boat leave down there and go back. ”

"Nope."

"My brother didn't have any money with him."

"Brother, what's the use of you, you forgot to bring the silver when you went out, and you said that you drank and made a mistake, and you just didn't listen to it if you asked you to drink less, but now it's really a mistake, right?"

"Chenchen, did you bring any silver?"

"I ...... Forgot about it too. ”
