At the beginning of the lanterns, two more oil lamps were lit in the backyard of the pharmacy to illuminate the room brightly.

The two families sat together to eat, Hui Niang took care of Xi'er to eat, while the Zhou family kept putting vegetables into Shen Xi's bowl, Lin Dai looked at it with a blank eye, her face full of envy and jealousy.

"Mother, don't clip it for me, the bowl is about to come out. Little daughter-in-law, give you food, raise you for white and fat, and grow up quickly so that you can marry me. ”

Shen Xi sent the dishes to Lin Dai's bowl.

"Hmph. Who is your little daughter-in-law...... Mother, he bullied me. Lin Dai had no choice but to be coquettish with the Zhou family.

The two little guys quarreled, Hui Niang and Zhou's faces were full of smiles, Zhou sandwiched the dishes into the bowl of his future daughter-in-law, and joked with a smile:

"My family Dai'er will marry no one in the future, marry this stinky boy, let him be beautiful. I don't appreciate it for him to eat, let's eat it together. ”

Lin Dai moved the stool closer to Zhou's to show off her favor.

While eating, Hui Niang suddenly said: "The county lord said that in a few days, the imperial court will send a messenger to Ninghua County, and I am a woman, but I don't know how to deal with it." ”

Zhou nodded and replied casually: "When the imperial court comes, naturally there is a yamen to come forward to receive it, so it shouldn't be a visit to the pharmacy, right?" ”

Shen Xi smiled and said: "Mother, you are wrong, the reason why Tingzhou Mansion dealt with the plague so easily this time is that aunt is the biggest hero...... My mother didn't know how to describe it outside, saying that my aunt was the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, and she was the goddess doctor of the Buddha of ten thousand families, and if the imperial court did not see her, it would be tantamount to dereliction of duty. ”

"Stinky boy, you talk a lot. Oh yes, Mr. has already sent someone to inform you, tomorrow the school will resume classes, you must study hard after you go to school...... You haven't worked hard these days, you stay in the pharmacy all day, if you delay your studies, see how the old lady cleans you up. ”

Hui Niang was a little apologetic: "I'm really sorry, my sister doesn't have a man who can take charge here, so I want Xiaolang to come out and do things at such a young age." ”

Zhou smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, this little ghost can't stop jumping around every day." Moreover, he has a good brain and can remember everything he has learned. ”

Hui Niang nodded and agreed: "Xiaolang is indeed smart, he showed him the prescription before, he memorized it after reading it once, and even could write it down silently as it was, Xiaolang will definitely have a future in the future." ”

After dinner, Zhou took Shen Xi and Lin Dai home, Lu Xi'er was a little reluctant, grabbed the corner of Zhou's clothes and was unwilling to let go, obviously wanting to go with Zhou.

These days, she lives in Shen's house, and will run to Shen Xi's bed with Lin Dai at night to listen to the story, she is young, and she doesn't understand the content of the story very well, but she is full of yearning for the illusory fairy tale world, and now she goes home to sleep with her mother, she is a little unaccustomed.

"Silly girl, we are all a family, let your mother take you to your aunt's house to play another day, and your aunt will make something for you to eat." Zhou touched Lu Xi'er's little face and said with pity.

Lu Xi'er is not interested in delicious food at all, she likes to listen to Shen Xi's stories the most. Now she can't sleep with Shen Xi, so she had to beg her mother to tell her when she went to bed at night, and Hui Niang agreed, so she let go of Zhou's clothes.

When she got home, the Zhou family went into the house and carefully put away the gift that Hui Niang gave her before, and when she came out of the back room, she urged Shen Xi and Lin Dai to wash.

"When I left, there was a big pot of water boiling in the pot, and now it is still hot, pour it into the basin for you, and wash it clean, otherwise there will be lice and fleas on your body, and the itch will not kill you."

Zhou poured hot water into the wooden basin, Shen Xi finished washing first, and Lin Dai also rolled up her sleeves to scrub her face and body.

Zhou smiled and said to Shen Xi: "Xiaolang, thanks to your ability, your aunt gave us a sum of silver, my mother saw it, there is a lot of silver, my mother wants to go back and don't go to the tailor shop to do things, do a small business or something, and our family will have a settlement in the future, maybe we can settle down in the city." ”

"Oh."

Shen Xi nodded and asked, "What does my mother want to do for a living?" ”

"Oh, my mother really doesn't know what to do except for needlework, so I'll discuss it with him when your father comes back...... Somehow, your father rarely comes back these days, is it true that the Wang family has so many things that he is not even allowed to go back to his home? ”

Shen Xi didn't speak.

After all, Zhou is only in her twenties, and her husband has basically not returned home for more than two months because of the plague.

After washing, Zhou urged Shen Xi and Lin Dai to go into the room to rest.

When the door was closed, Shen Xi had just laid down and hadn't closed his eyes, when he heard the sound of a little mouse looking for food, but it was Lin Dai who came to listen to the story with a small pillow.

Shen Xi closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Lin Dai hugged the small pillow, sat on the edge of the bed and waited for a while, seeing that Shen Xi didn't respond, she pursed her mouth and stretched out her hand to push, Shen Xi still didn't move, she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and pushed hard twice, this time Shen Xi simply turned around and turned her back to Lin Dai.

"You...... You're not done with yesterday's story. The devil got into the bottle, what happened? "Lin Dai is asking for others, not as fierce as she was at the dinner table just now, and her small appearance is pitiful.

Shen Xi sat up and looked at the little girl, with a little gloomy on her face: "Didn't you say that you won't marry me when you grow up?" I want to tell the story to my daughter-in-law in the future, since you don't want to marry, then I'll tell Xi'er, she likes to listen to me tell stories, maybe when I grow up, Aunt Sun will marry her to me! ”

"You...... Necrotic! ”

This time, Lin Dai directly smashed the pillow on Shen Xi's head, don't overdo it, just like the real little daughter-in-law is angry with her husband.

Shen Xi sighed.

If a woman says that a man is bad, she must be coquettish, but the problem is that Lin Dai is not ten years old and doesn't know what love and love are, she is most resentful that Shen Xi compares her with Lu Xi'er...... Lu Xi'er has a mother, and Shen Xi is in pain, although she also has Zhou's care, but Zhou's love for her does not have the wholehearted love of her biological mother after all.

Lin Dai felt aggrieved for a while, and she actually shed tears, and simply lay on the mattress and whimpered.

"Oops...... Don't cry, it's all my fault, it's okay, it's a big deal, when I grow up, I won't marry Xi'er, will I marry you? Shen Xi had no choice but to comfort him.

It's a pity that Lin Dai is only a nine-year-old girl, Shen Xi's psychological age is approaching, how can he understand the thoughts of his youngest daughter's family?

It's okay if Shen Xi didn't persuade him, but this persuasion, Lin Dai cried even more sadly.

Shen Xi worked hard, but in the end, he had no choice but to give up and silently watched Lin Dai cry. Lin Dai was tired of crying, raised her head, looked at Shen Xi with rain, pouted and asked, "You...... Why don't you persuade me to stop crying? ”

"Auntie, you cry so sadly, can I persuade you?" Shen Xi spread his hands with a bitter face.

Maybe Shen Xi's appearance was too aggrieved, Lin Dai felt relieved of her hatred, and actually laughed out loud, Shen Xi pouted and said, "Crying and laughing, no shame." ”

"Not really."

Lin Dai grabbed the pillow and beckoned to Shen Xi again.

This time Shen Xi learned smartly, and directly grabbed the pillow that came over and grabbed it, Lin Dai had no weapon, so she had to stare at Shen Xi, as if she wanted to melt Shen Xi with her eyes.

"Do you miss your biological father?" Shen Xi asked calmly.

"I ...... I didn't. ”

Is it a little girl, Lin Dai immediately stuttered a little when Shen Xi said that the central matter was the matter.

Shen Xi sighed softly: "I still said no, I heard you talk in your dreams at night, call your father and call your mother...... You also said that you haven't had a father and mother since you were a child, and it seems that you have something to hide from me and my mother. ”

"I ...... I ......"

was exposed by Shen Xi, and Lin Dai was even more flustered this time.

"Okay, everyone has something on their minds, I just don't tell my mother. I'm going to school tomorrow, I can't sleep too late today, I'll tell you two little stories, let's sleep together, okay? ”

Lin Dai's little head hurriedly nodded, looking well-behaved and obedient.

Shen Xi thought to himself, little Lori is good, she is not wary in her heart, she regards herself as a family member, although she will be noisy and even complain on weekdays, but in the end, she still sleeps on the same bed at night, and she may really become a married couple in the future.

The old lady's little Lori cultivation plan is not a loss in the end.
