Chapter 617: Counter-reconnaissance

"Old man, come and see, we have fish to eat today!"

Fish is a rare thing near the Longyuan Mountain Range, and ordinary people may not be able to eat it two or three times in their lives, but when they hear that there is fish, the smile on the face of the charcoal seller is even stronger.

"These two girls are like fairies, since they came to our house, they have meat to eat. The charcoal seller smiled, put down his basket, stood beside the old woman and said to Sister He Jingjing.

"Uncle, you don't dislike us if we two bother you for so many days, if you say immortals, you should also become immortals. He Jingjing could speak, which made the two old mouths frightened and comfortable.

I have been a poor peasant all my life, and when I am old, I have learned to say beautiful things to others, but I didn't expect to wait for the day when others will say beautiful things to me.

The world is warm and cold, and the two old mouths have tasted it.

"Girl, you rest for a while, I'll go wash the vegetables. The old woman took the basket and offered to go to the mountains to wash vegetables.

At this moment, the water is bone-chilling, He Jingjing has to freeze her fingers every time she washes the vegetables, but the conditions in this place are really limited, and there is no big water tank at home, if you boil water, it will take too much time, maybe you can't finish washing the dishes in an hour.

"Auntie, let's go, you go into the house to roast the fire, I'll go back. He Jingjing took He Xiaoxiao to the mountain stream, sighed twice at her hand, and the two sisters frowned at the same time and put their hands into the cold water.

Rao was mentally prepared, He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao still couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing each other's expressions, the two sisters burst out laughing, and laughter rang through the valley like silver bells.

After quickly washing the dishes, the two sisters shook off the water in their hands, walked back with a bamboo basket, and met Xiaobao with a runny nose on the way.

"Go back to the house, I'll be sick in a while!" He Jingjing said to Xiaobao in a reproachful tone.

"Xiaobao has grown up, and he can help his sister work!" After speaking, Xiaobao took the bamboo basket in the hands of the two sisters and ran into the house, the two sisters looked at each other, smiled with relief, and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"I want to be eight years old when the younger brother turns over the New Year, I don't know how to learn from the two of them?" He Jingjing crossed the threshold and asked He Xiaoxiao casually.

"Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye are both knowledgeable, and they must not let them go to waste, besides, the Mr. Kong that the eldest sister is looking for is a strange person, and the class is very interesting, I was reluctant to leave a class behind when I first learned. ”

He Jingjing became interested when she heard this, and asked He Xiaoxiao with raised eyebrows.

"Oh, it looks like I'm going to have to listen to Mr. Kong's class someday. ”

When it came to family affairs, the mouths of the two sisters couldn't stop, and the charcoal seller and the old woman glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of envy.

"Will the sisters leave Xiaobao?" The crisp children's voice suddenly sounded from behind them, and He Xiaoxiao and He Jingjing suddenly stopped what they were doing, their faces full of embarrassment.

"Xiaobao, there is a feast in the world, and one day everyone will be separated. He Jingjing squatted down, pinched Xiaobao's face and said with a smile.

Xiaobao's eyes immediately filled with tears, and hot tears hit the back of He Jingjing's hand, making her heart feel a trace of denial.

"Xiaobao, don't leave my sisters!" Xiaobao suddenly hugged He Jingjing and didn't let go.

Seeing this, He Xiaoxiao hurriedly took Xiaobao over, and He Jingjing was free and began to continue stir-frying.

"Xiaobao, don't mess around. The old woman frowned and reprimanded Xiaobao twice, although Xiaobao stopped crying, but her throat was still twitching, precocious and pitiful, which made people feel infinite pity.

After Xiaobao's fuss just now, the charcoal seller's family re-realized a fact: He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao will not stay in this place for too long, maybe as soon as the snow melts and the battle stops, the two will leave forever and will never see each other again in this life.

The charcoal seller and the old woman have never seen too many people in their lives, so every encounter is precious.

This time I was able to get acquainted with the kind-hearted two sisters, and the two had long regarded them as their own daughters.

Thinking that they would soon be separated from their daughters, the two looked at the delicious food on the table, and felt a little tasteless.

"Grandparents, why don't you eat it? This fish is so delicious! It's the best thing Xiaobao has ever tasted!" Xiaobao said with two long dragons hanging under his nostrils, and a pair of eyes sparkling as he looked at the charcoal seller and the old woman.

After He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao glanced at each other, they made a decision.

"Uncle, auntie. After my eldest brother went, there was no one to accompany you to grow old, and I grew up with Xiaobao. Why don't you just wait for the snow to melt and the war to stop, and then you can go back to live in the state capital with us?"

As soon as He Jingjing said this, the charcoal seller and the old woman both had panic on their faces, and hurriedly waved their hands.

"We are old, we can't go and make trouble for you. I've lived here all my life, and I'm used to it, and I don't want to move anymore. ”

"Uncle, aunt, it's time for Xiaobao to enter school, there is no decent school in Longyuan Mountain City, it is full of businessmen and soldiers, even for his future, it is a good choice to go to Linzhou Mansion. He Jingjing continued to persuade, but the charcoal seller and the old woman still shook their heads.

"Although Xiaobao is a small child, he is smart and sensible, and he is the only seedling of my family, if he can do it, I really want to ask you to take him away, don't suffer in this place with our old couple. ”

As he spoke, the charcoal seller and the old woman left tears, and He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to see it.

"Can you two bear to be separated from Xiaobao?" He Jingjing knew in her heart that they were just afraid of causing trouble to themselves and spending their money as a strange woman.

In the face of a kind-hearted old man, who can resist not reaching out?

"Eldest sister, this matter is not in a hurry, let's eat first, it will be cold in a while. He Xiaoxiao stood up to play the round, feeling that He Jingjing was in a bit of a hurry at the moment.

There is still a period of time before he and his party leave the charcoal seller's house, and they can be persuaded slowly.

He Jingjing reacted, put on a smiling face and filled a bowl of soup for the charcoal seller and the old woman: "Try this fish soup, it's fresh, Xiaobao has drunk a lot!"

Xiaobao leaked his face out of the bowl and grinned to show his little tiger teeth.

"Grandparents, it's delicious!"

Everyone was happily eating, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
