The days passed like this, and the Deng family's mansion was calm and unwavering. Xu Anping's recent days are also comfortable, as "Deng Jiu" for three days, he accompanied Miss Deng to go shopping, took the little master to dig out the bird's nest, and didn't need to do anything, but he often thought of Yi Lian'er when he was idle in a daze. He knew that that little girl would definitely be like him. Since the last time he entered Deng Yongming's study, he was almost bumped into by two little maids, Xu Anping did not venture into the backyard again, on the one hand, he was always very wary of Uncle Lin, worried that the other party would move at him at any time, so he refused to find and hand over all the things at once; On the other hand, I also enjoy the peaceful days now, and I don't have to worry about bullets that may fly at any time. Before I was reincarnated, I was either busy training or doing tasks all over the world, and even if I slept in a luxurious hotel bed or in a base, I still couldn't feel at ease, because I always had the idea of escaping in my heart. Ever since he met Anna, his days have been dotted with pink, but he was betrayed when he fled the organization. In this life, what I want most in my heart is to have a stable home and a comfortable life, and I don't want to experience fighting, killing, and deceiving me anymore. Of course, Xu Anping's sanity told him that if he wanted to get the life he dreamed of, he had to properly deal with the poisonous snake coiled beside him, the "Blood Hand Alliance" and Uncle Lin.

A month passed quickly, and around noon on this day, Xu Anping found Steward Cai and said that he wanted to go home to see. After hearing this, Steward Cai's eyebrows raised and he wanted to get angry, he knew that this family surnamed Xu was cheating and sloppy, with bad deeds, and no one could control him, and now he has become a "red man" next to the eldest lady, and he really can't be beaten and scolded. In desperation, he could only suppress his anger and wave his hand to let him go quickly, so as not to be an eyesore here, and his liver hurt so much that he was angry. Of course, he didn't mention the matter of wages at all, and in the eyes of others, he was really foaming at the mouth and deducting a nail, saying that if he deducted his wages, he would deduct his wages.

Xu Anping knew that Steward Cai was a bully who was afraid of the hard, of course, he didn't care about Steward Cai's attitude, and he didn't expect a "promotion and salary increase" in Deng Mansion anyway. Thinking that it has been more than a month since I left home, the more I miss it, and I can't wait to appear at Yu's house immediately to surprise them. He first used the silver he touched from under the pillow of Yu Laocai's son to buy three catties of white flour, seven catties of coarse grains and two maltose on the street and put them in the basket he was carrying.

The wife opened her mouth, leaked out her few teeth, and asked with a smile: "Young man, did you buy a hairpin for your little daughter-in-law?" You really hurt people, unlike my wife who is like an elm pimple. Next time, my mother-in-law will give you a cheaper price. ”

Xu Anping smiled, did not respond to the ridicule of his wife, paid five cents and kicked the wooden hairpin into his arms, turned around and walked out of the county. He saw that there were not many people on the road at this time, so he sped up his pace, even if he was carrying more than ten pounds of things, it was much faster than when he came to the county seat. Because I was delayed for a while to buy things on the street, it was the end of the time to get home. Xu Anping put the basket into the yard, went back to the house, stuffed the "crime tools" on his body under the pillow, picked up rice noodles and maltose and walked into Yu's house.

As soon as he entered the door of Yu's house, Xu Anping saw Yi Lian'er's expectant eyes and the joy that appeared on his face. Then Aunt Yu's loud voice and a series of nagging sounded in her ears, "Anping is back!" Just now Lian'er said that she heard your door ringing, and I also said that she heard it wrong. If I hadn't stopped her, she would have run over to take a look. Usually, when there is a little movement, I can't sit still and have to take a look. Come in and do it! Look at you, back to your own house, why do you buy so many things. Ouch! It's not a New Year's Day, what do you buy white noodles for? Is there any place to spend it? Anping! It's not that I'm talking about you, you're not too young anymore, you have to save your money and keep it for your daughter-in-law and children......"

Xu Anping didn't make a sound, and smiled at Yi Lian'er, feeling warm in his heart.

Aunt Yu took the rice noodles and put them away, and hurriedly beckoned Xu Anping to sit down. "Huh? Lian'er, why are you all red? I'm so happy to see you, Brother Anping! ”

Yi Lian'er's face suddenly became even redder, as if she was about to drip blood, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.

Aunt Yu looked at the almost clean meal on the table and said, "Anping, haven't you eaten yet?" You sit down, and the eldest lady will go and cook egg noodles for you. ”

Xu Anping looked at the leafy vegetable roots left in the dishes, and when he knew that he was not at home, they were even more reluctant to eat them. "Auntie, just give me two nests, don't bother."

Seeing Aunt Yu go to the stove room, Yu Xiaohu, who was very honest just now, began to scratch his ears and cheeks, sat on the stool and twisted around, and looked at Father Yu who was sitting next to him and didn't speak, and he didn't dare to squeak when he opened his mouth.

"Anping, you sit first, I'll go to the village to chat." With a smile on his face, he went out. Xu Anping knew that the white noodles he brought back were definitely the talk of the old and young masters tonight.

At this time, Yu Xiaohu couldn't wait to say: "Brother Anping, where is my maltose?" You haven't forgotten, have you? ”

Looking at Yu Xiaohu's expectant eyes, Xu Anping was embarrassed to joke, and originally planned to deceive him. Xu Anping took out the maltose hidden behind his back, one to Yu Xiaohu and one to Yi Lian'er.

Yu Xiaohu grabbed the maltose and stuffed it directly into his mouth, regardless of whether it was sticky to his teeth, he chewed it desperately, and his saliva dripped onto the table. After eating, he turned his head to stare at Yi Lian'er, and he saw Yi Lian'er stretching out her little tongue and slowly licking the candy cube, so anxious that she couldn't do it.

Xu Anping saw Yu Xiaohu's eager eyes, and knew that if he didn't stop it, he would ask for it the next moment, so he said: "Xiaohu, if you dare to ask your sister for it, there will be no malt candy next month." Yu Xiaohu showed a disappointed expression after hearing this, so he could only nod stupidly, and then peeked at it from time to time and licked his lips.

Xu Anping said a few words to Aunt Yu after dinner, and when she was about to open the chatterbox, she turned around and went home, still sitting on the threshold of the hall in a daze, he knew that Yi Lian'er would come over in a while. Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, Yi Lian'er walked in from outside the door and moved a small stool to sit next to her.

"Brother Anping, how many days will you come back to stay at home this time?" Yi Lian'er asked expectantly with her big sparkling eyes.

"I'm going to rush back tomorrow afternoon, it's almost the New Year, and the business in the shop is good. When I came back this time, I still asked my boss for leave, so I couldn't stay long. ”

"Oh." Although Yi Lian'er only said a word, Xu Anping still heard a deep disappointment, so he took out the wooden hairpin in his arms to make her happy. "Lian'er, this is a gift from your brother, do you like it or not? Put it on and let my brother see it, it must be beautiful. ”

Yi Lian'er's eyes widened suddenly, looking very surprised, her hands had already raised to take the wooden hairpin, and inserted it into the coiled bun, not thinking about resigning at all. She raised her head and saw that Xu Anping was looking at her in a daze, the flush on her face that had just disappeared resurfaced, and thousands of thoughts were entwined in her heart: "Ah! Shame on you. I'm a girl, why haven't I been reserved? Brother Anping won't look down on me, right? This is the hairpin that Brother Anping specially picked for me, it's so beautiful......" Yi Lian'er couldn't help but secretly looked up at Xu Anping, saw her own shadow in his eyes, and settled down a little, "The person in Brother Anping's eyes is me, it's so good!" Then he took off the hairpin and held it tightly in his hand, as if he would lose it if he was not careful.

Xu Anping came back to his senses at this time, and he didn't expect that a hairpin would make Yi Lian'er, who was as pure as a lotus flower, a little more charming. Isn't it a blessing for such a person to put all his mind on himself!

In such a slightly sweet atmosphere, the sky darkened. Although Xu Anping enjoyed the fragrance of Yi Lian'er in the air very much, he still urged her to go home and rest quickly, so as not to catch a cold outside.

Xu Anping returned to the room and did not light the lamp, but took out the tools hidden under the pillow one by one in the dark and put them back on his body. He first put two throwing knives on the left side of his waist, then put the medicine bag in the right side of his chest in the personal pocket, and finally put two needles between the fingers of his left and right hands, turning them flexibly from time to time. When he was done, he moved the bed under the desk by the window and lay down. Covered with a soft quilt, I could feel the warmth I hadn't seen for a long time, and I thought that this must be Yi Lian'er's credit, so the shy smile and blushing face appeared in front of me. Xu Anping lay like this, and he didn't feel sleepy, and then thought that he would definitely see Uncle Lin tonight, and wondered how to reply when he asked about the situation in the Deng Mansion. Then I thought that when the matter of the Deng Mansion was over, Uncle Lin would definitely not give him the money. Thinking of this, Deng Xiaoke's bright eyes and heroic appearance also appeared in his mind, and her voice seemed to sound in her ears without the slightest twist, and she felt a little unbearable for a while. "Forget it, don't think about it yet, try Uncle Lin's attitude tonight." Xu Anping shook his head, threw out the thoughts that he shouldn't have, began to close his eyes and recuperate, and pinched the two steel needles in his hands.

As soon as the hour passed, Xu Anping opened his eyes, stared at the night vigilantly, and waited patiently. After another half an hour, I heard a sound from the window, and then a stone wrapped in a note fell not far away. After waiting for a while, he picked up the note and looked at it, and sure enough, it was Uncle Lin who had asked him to meet at the cliff by the Taiping River for the first time. A moment later, Xu Anping climbed over the wall and went to the Taiping River. After arriving, he knew that Uncle Lin would definitely not be in this place, and he did not hesitate, he walked directly to the back of the cliff stone, saw a paper ball in the depression of the stone, took it out and looked at it, and ran towards the agreed place at the foot of Yuzui Mountain. As soon as he arrived at the place, Uncle Lin walked out from behind an old tree.

"It's been a month since you went to the Lin Mansion, did you get anything?" Uncle Lin asked hoarsely.

Xu Anping said bluntly: "Uncle Lin, I stole into Deng Yongming's study and found something, Deng Ji Silk Village is mainly purchased from the Li family in Suzhou, and the family Ding Deng Da Deng Er goes there every month with a letter from the head of the family. As for the title deed, it has not yet been discovered. ”

Uncle Lin nodded, "Well, you did a good job, and you will hand it over to me as soon as you get the deed later." After speaking, he signaled Xu Anping to go back.

Xu Anping pretended not to see what Uncle Lin meant, and then said, "Uncle Lin, I know. That one...... Uncle Lin, can you give me the money you saved for me? I felt that the daughter of a family in the city was very good, and I wanted to buy her something, so if it was appropriate, I asked the matchmaker to propose marriage. Xu Anping scratched his head embarrassedly, just like an emotionally ignorant big boy.

Uncle Lin let out a burst of laughter like a night owl, "It turns out that Anping is someone's daughter!" Whose daughter has such a good fortune? This is a good thing, Uncle Lin supports you. The next time we meet, I'll bring you the money you've saved. If it's not enough, Uncle Lin will also help you, and it will definitely make you want a daughter-in-law in style. ”

Xu Anping nodded happily, then turned around and waited for Uncle Lin to leave. What he didn't know was that at this time, Uncle Lin's eyes showed a fierce light, and he had already made up his mind to kill this son no matter how far the task progressed when they met next time. Because he already felt that Xu Anping was a little out of his control.

Although Xu Anping was smiling, he could already hear the unnaturalness of Uncle Lin's laughter just now, after all, the sound of the night owl and the sound of the night owl were also different. It seems that he is going to prepare in advance for tearing his face with Uncle Lin.

In this way, the two people had different thoughts in their hearts, each thinking about it.
