In the countryside, to the elders, gentlemen New Year's greetings, generally bring a bowl of hot pork belly cooked meat, or take away a box of soft and sweet refined pastries, and the family is a little richer, but also carry a roast whole sheep, or roast suckling pig and other food products, more than one food word.

Being able to eat is a blessing, which is the consistent view of the people living in the countryside, so most of the gifts they give are mainly affordable.

In the city, everyone pays attention to a dough, and when greeting the New Year, especially in front of the teacher's door, most of them are framed with gorgeous calligraphy and calligraphy as a courtesy, in order to show the elegant style. Although this kind of etiquette is light, elegant, and precious, it always has a hint of flashiness, and it lacks a little bit of festivity.

But today, when Liu Cheng took Liu Xiaohui to the small courtyard where Liu Yiyi was, he brought a gift box with a roast suckling pig weighing about seven or eight pounds. The limbs are open, the skin is dark red and scorched, and what is even more rare is that it is still steaming, obviously just baked, as soon as the lid of the food box is opened, the whole room is diffused with bursts of tempting aroma, which directly hooks the gluttonous worms in people's stomachs.

"I knew that Mr. Liu liked this bite the most, so I asked the guys in the store to get up early and hurriedly made it for Mr. Gently placing the roast suckling pig in the middle of the table in the hall, Liu Cheng smiled and said to Liu Yiyi: "Mr. Liu, try it first, this dish should be eaten while it is hot, and when it is cold later, it will lose its original taste." ”

"Well, let the shopkeeper Liu bother, then Liu will not be a guest." Liu Yiyi smiled and arched his hand at Liu Cheng, if he guessed correctly, this roast suckling pig should be made by Liu He's orders. Knowing the son Mo Ruomu, Liu Yiyi's taste, only she, who is a mother, knows best.

Thinking of these, Liu Yiyi was a little excited, thinking of Liu He's distressed and caring intentions, and he didn't care about anyone, so he took the lead in putting a piece of crispy skin on the hind leg of the little pig and put it in his mouth.

"Well, the outside is fragrant and the inside is tender, crispy and delicious, and it is rare not to be greasy, this suckling pig is roasted just right, not bad! Come, come, come, and taste it too! Liu Yiyi tasted it carefully, and then stretched out his hand to beckon Liu Cheng, Zhang Chuchu, as well as Di Renjie, Di Shijie and Liu Shanghui, the three little guys, to sit down and eat together.

The little pig weighs about eight pounds, except for the bones, they are three big and three small, that is, one person eats one pound, and they are also a little surplus, and there are other dishes made by Xiao Yi on this table, which are also delicious and delicious, so everyone eats very happily in the morning.

"Master, there is a little girl from Master Di's side, saying that he is here to find the two little masters." Just as Liu Yiyi and Liu Cheng were talking quietly around the stove, Xiao Yi walked in lightly from the outside, and reported to Liu Yiyi in a low voice, the little girl ring she said was standing alone in the courtyard at the moment, poking her head into the house ghostly, looking at Liu Yiyi and Liu Cheng curiously, her face seemed to be a little disappointed.

A little familiar, Liu Yiyi's eyes swept over the little girl's face, and there was a very familiar feeling in her heart, especially her big eyes, as well as her slightly pursed upper mouth, which always felt like she had seen it somewhere.

"Let her in," Liu Yiyi looked at the young girl and whispered to Xiao Yi.

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Yi answered softly, then turned around, faced the hall, and whispered to the little girl: "Little servant, the master let you in!" ”

"Little servant?!" Hearing this name, a white light flashed in Liu Yiyi's mind, and he instantly thought of the reason why he felt familiar, this little girl, wasn't it the little scholar who followed Li Ruyi at the beginning? I remember that before, he seemed to have had a lot of trouble with this kid.

I didn't expect this tomboy to dress up as a woman, and he was so cute, watching the little maid gently move his steps towards the hall, his two eyes were still looking around, Liu Yiyi's face, couldn't help but show a smile, he still had a good impression of this little maid.

"The little maid has seen Mr. Liu!" When he came to Liu Yiyi and Liu Cheng, the little maid bent down and bowed to Liu Yi in a proper manner, and said: "Our master just instructed that the young master and the young master should not disturb Mr. Liu's tranquility a little more, and let the little maid come and bring them back." ”

"Well, Master Di is too worried, the two little masters have always been well-behaved and obedient, and it is my honor to come to me to play and frolic," Liu Yi smiled and nodded, glanced at the little servant, and said softly: "But since Lord Di has given orders, Liu is not easy to disobey, you wait a minute, I will let Xiao Yi go and call them." ”

gave the little maid a slightly reassuring look, and Liu Yiyi softly ordered Xiao Yi to go to the inner room to call out the two stinky boys who were entangled around Zhang Chuchu.

"You're the new Yahuan that Di Fu bought, right?" Taking advantage of Xiao Yi's time to call someone, Liu Yiyi bowed lightly, glanced at the little servant up and down, and asked her softly, "I was in Di Mansion before, and I never seemed to have seen you before?" ”

"Mr. Liu's eyes," the little servant bent over and replied softly, as if he had no intention of saying more, lowered his head, folded his hands, and remained silent.

"Well," seeing that she didn't want to speak, Liu Yiyi instead wanted to tease her, when she was by Li Ruyi's side before, but she didn't give herself any anger, Liu Yiyi took a sip of the tea bowl, and asked again: "Listening to your accent, it seems that you are not a local, can you also escape from Yuzhong?" ”

"Mr. Lao Liu is worried, the maid's hometown is not in Yuzhong," the maid replied softly or hard, but his eyes were secretly looking into the inner room.

This little girl is here to recognize people.

Seeing the look of expectation and disappointment on the little maid's face, Liu Yiyi chuckled again, and before he could say anything, he saw that Xiao Yi had already come out of the back room with Di Renjie and Di Shijie's two boys. Zhang Chuchu and Liu Xiaohui don't seem to have any signs of coming out.

"Little sister? Why are you here? Seeing that the girl standing in the hall was actually a maid, Di Renjie asked strangely, logically speaking, even if the old man of their family would really send someone to pick them up, why wouldn't he send the guest's maid ring over? This is somewhat counterintuitive.

"Little master, it's not the same for everyone to come, let's go back quickly, the lord and the lady are still waiting at home." didn't see the person he wanted to see, and the little servant said to Di Renjie and Di Shijie with a little disappointment.

"Well," Di Renjie nodded lightly, Di Zhixun had explained before he came, it was not appropriate to stay in Mr. Liu's house for too long, and now send someone over, although there is something wrong with the person, there is nothing to suspect.

"Sir, the student is quitting!" The two little guys walked up to Liu Yiyi, saluted in unison, and asked Liu Yiyi to resign.

"Well, since it is Lord Di who has called you, I won't leave you as a teacher, go back quickly, don't make Lord Di wait in a hurry." Liu Yiyi nodded lightly, and then instructed Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, you take the return gift prepared last night, and also go to Di Mansion with Xiao Jie and them to send them back." ”

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Yi bent over, then went back to the side room and carried a black wooden box, and went out with Di Renjie and the others.

For a while, there were no outsiders at home.

"Young Master!" Liu Cheng stood up from the chair, bowed down to Liu Yiyi, and said softly: "Young master, let's also go to the back room to get together with Miss, there are little ones to watch, it's okay." ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Liu Cheng!" Liu Yiyi got up, raised his hand and patted Liu Cheng's shoulder, and then quickly pushed the door into the inner room, inside, Zhang Chuchu was happily chatting with Liu Xiaohui.

"Big brother!" Seeing Liu Yiyi coming in, Liu Xiaohui got down from the couch, trotted to Liu Yiyi, stretched out his arms, and got tired of Liu Yiyi's arms.

"Ouch, our Xiaohui has grown taller again!" Liu Yiyi picked up the little sister one by one, let her sit flat on her arm, smiled with her gently, and walked towards Zhang Chuchu.

"Xiaojie, they're gone?" Zhang Chuchu chuckled and looked at the two of them, and asked Liu Yiyi softly.

"Well, let's go, not only Xiaojie and them, but also Xiaoyi was also sent out by me, and now there is Liu Cheng watching outside, it's okay." Liu Yiyi hugged Liu Xiaohui like this and sat down next to Zhang Chuchu gently.

"You said that Liu Yifan is not Mr. Liu at all?" Li Ruxi and Su Chenxi sat next to the stove and asked the servant softly, "Isn't there a little similarity?" ”

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, whether it is the voice, appearance, or the gods when speaking, there is no similarity," the little maid glanced up at their princess, and saw that her face was disappointed, so she changed her words and said: "But this is just the opinion of the little maid alone, and I can't count it, and the little maid didn't see Mrs. Liu's appearance, it would be better for Her Royal Highness the princess and Miss Su to go again another day." ”

"Well, the little servant has only been there for a while, and it's normal to not observe carefully," Su Chenxi opened his mouth and echoed: "Moreover, isn't there a way to change your voice and appearance on the rivers and lakes, since Mr. Liu wants to hide, it is not surprising that he has made some changes in both his identity and appearance." ”

"Well, Sister Xi'er is right," Li Ru seemed to nod lightly, her face softened slightly, and said: "A person, no matter how he changes, some things will always exist, whether Liu Yifan is Mr. Liu or not, wait a few days, we will meet him, and it will be clear." ”

After taking a sip of hot tea, Li Ruru glanced up at Basho, who was practicing calligraphy the bookcase in the room, changed the topic, and said softly: "These days, after practicing those basic stroke exhibitions, Basho's characters are becoming more and more presentable." It seems that Mr. Liu's method of practicing calligraphy is very practical. ”

"Yes, it's very practical," Su Chenxi also turned his head to look at Basho, and said: "This is only on Basho's body, if it is placed on those children who have just begun to read and write, the effect should be more obvious." In the future, if I have the opportunity to find some more children to try, if it is true, it is a great merit. ”

"Well, if you have time, Sister Xi'er will sort out this method, and when we return from this trip, we will give this to our father, and I will be very happy if I want to come to my father's old man's house." Li Ru seemed to understand the meaning of merit in Su Chenxi's mouth, all of this still had to be promoted by the court on the side.

"Huh? What was that? Li Ruxiang suddenly stopped talking, listened intently for a while, and vaguely, heard that in the next room, there seemed to be singing.

"Somebody's singing, nice tune!" The servant bent over to the wall, listened quietly for a while, and then showed a look of intoxication on his face. With a melodious melody and a vivid and affectionate rhyme, the maid soon became immersed in the song and drunk.

"This is probably the best song I've ever heard in my life!" Because when I listened to it, the song was nearing the end, so at the end of the song, the maid woke up and couldn't help but whisper a word of praise in his mouth.

"What are you singing? Can the little maid try to sing it again? Knowing that the little maid was the best at singing, Li Ruru opened his mouth to ask her, and from the faint sound of the tune just now, she could also feel the extraordinaryness of this song.

"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the maid only heard two small passages, and she could barely sing them out," Seeing that the princess of their family waved to her, the maid cleared her throat and slowly sang the song she had just heard:

"The wolf said dear, thank you for healing me, no matter how many storms there are in the future, I will fight for you. The sheep said don't be polite, whoever makes me fall in love with you, how dangerous it is by your side, I will accompany you. And just like that, they wandered happily, and just like that, they sang for love..."

"The wolf falls in love with the sheep, the madness of love, who makes them really in love, the wolf is not ridiculous to fall in love with the sheep, they say that there is love and there is direction..."

Although the lyrics are straightforward and explicit, they are ruthless and incomprehensible affectionate, and the tone of the song is compact and beautiful, which is easy to drive people's emotions.

As the servant chanted softly, Li Ruyi, Su Chenxi, and Basho, who was practicing calligraphy, all involuntarily stopped their movements and were deeply immersed in this beautiful rhythm.

"Listening to the singing just now, it seems to come from the mouth of the girl ring in Liu Yifan's house." After singing the half-section of the song he heard, the little maid whispered to Li Ruyi.
