Zeng Hua is not a real child, she has long found out that Xu Jing cares about her too much, but the person she misses is Ouyang Si, so when she is in the Xu family, she can avoid Xu Jing as much as possible.

Unless it is a last resort, he needs to accompany her to see Zeng Rong outside the palace.

Fortunately, half a year later, Zeng Rong went to the inner warden, Zeng Hua also ended his monthly visit, Xu Jing also went to study in the academy outside the city, and it was rare to go home, and generally only at the end of the month or holidays, when the Xu family's private school also happened to be on holiday.

Therefore, if Xu Jing didn't come to her intentionally, they wouldn't see each other a few times a year.

Therefore, seeing Xu Jing staring at himself and asking, Zeng Hua first glanced at the eldest sister, and then replied: "Then I was still young, and my eldest sister often went to the academy to bring food to my second brother." No, it should be called the third brother, and Brother Ouyang has become my second brother. ”

"I know, I heard the elders in the family mention him, saying that he is very powerful, in ancient times, Cao Zhi was able to compose poems in seven steps, and now there is Ouyang Gongzi in the hall to make a decision, and my grandfather praised him a lot." Xu Jing hurriedly said again.

"He is indeed good, and my grandfather also ordered me to ask him more for advice in the future." When Xu Jing heard that Ouyang Si and the Zeng family had married Jinlan, he felt a lot more comfortable.

Mainly in the old month and the first month of this year, there were a few times when he came to find Zeng Hua, Zeng Hua was not at home, and when he asked, he went to Ouyang Si's house, saying that he was going to deliver food and help tidy up the house or something.

At that time, he didn't understand why Zeng Hua, an eight- or nine-year-old girl, helped an outsider tidy up the house, so he had to come back sullenly.

This will hear Zeng Hua say that the two families are married to Jinlan, and it is reasonable for the younger sister to send some food to her brother and do some housework within her ability.

Because the brothers and sisters of the Xu family were curious about Ouyang Si, a student from a rural area, to explore Hualang in high school, they asked him about his study experience, and the conversation suddenly became lively.

Especially Xu Jing, she has never been back to her hometown in the countryside once, but she has heard Zeng Hua say more than once that the mountains and rivers in her hometown seem to be able to find food and play from the mountains all year round, in addition to the wild fruits of the four seasons, it is said that there is a kind of wild flower that is also particularly delicious, blooming in spring, all over the mountains, the petals are sweet and sour, and it is called Yingshan Hong, and later Xu Jing asked his grandmother, also called azalea, it is rumored that the flower is red because of the rhododendron's blood, and it can indeed be eaten.

Thinking of this, Xu Jing suddenly lamented: "It's a pity, I also want to go back to my hometown to see, I knew it was like this, if I didn't pull you, we would go back to my hometown with Ouyang Gongzi, and I should come back." ”

"It's not nonsense, you two want to go back to your hometown, and when I show my elders, I will accompany you back." Xu Jing said.

Zeng Rong glanced at him when he heard this, in his last life, he didn't say that he would accompany him back to his hometown.

However, Zeng Rong herself never thought of returning to her hometown in the previous life, she is different from Zeng Hua, Zeng Hua has lived there for a long time, and she misses the old, and it is understandable that she will miss the past, but Zeng Rong doesn't think that she misses those people in the past, and it should be more of that painful time.

Since it was a past time, Zeng Rong thought that it was better to stay in his memory, and there was no need to re-experience it and face those scars again.

Sure enough, I saw Zeng Hua say, "That's it, I don't want to go back." My eldest sister is going to leave the cabinet, and my second brother is going to take the hospital exam next month, how can I be free? ”

"It's not for you to go back now, let's make an appointment next spring, I want to go back to see how beautiful the rhododendrons are all over the mountains in my hometown, and I also want to taste the sweet and sour raspberries, and I heard that there are all kinds of mushrooms in the spring in my hometown, which taste very delicious, and spring bamboo shoots, is it really how tall a foot can grow in one night? And also... Xu Jing counted them one by one with his fingers.

"Stop, and the snake, aren't you afraid?" Xu Jing didn't dare to go to the mountains easily, and he didn't want to have that kind of experience again.

"Big brother, you're really disappointed." Xu Jing pouted and said, trembling at the same time.

"Stop, I'm getting goosebumps when I hear you guys say this, or change the subject, what do you want to eat for breakfast? My sister-in-law can cook authentic hometown dishes. Zeng Rong diverted the conversation.

"It just so happens that there are fresh bamboo shoots sent by others at home, and I'll make you a soup of salted meat and fresh bamboo shoots, right? I just learned from Ah Rong. Chan said.

Xu Jing was about to refuse, but Xu Jing slapped his hands and smiled: "Okay, okay." ”

She didn't care about this fresh bamboo shoot soup, she just wanted to play with Zeng Hua, although there were many sisters in the family, no one was as lively and interesting as Zeng Hua.

Besides, no one cares about her outside, and she doesn't have to listen to her mother's instructions all the time.

Zeng Rong knew Xu Jing's character well, shook his head and smiled, got up and went into the stove room with Chen to prepare.

Ziluo saw Zeng Rong enter the stove room, and hurriedly turned around to call her aunt to help, she knew that Zeng Rong was actually not good at cooking, not as good as Zeng Hua, but she had eaten more good things, and would say that Chen and her aunt practiced again and again.

In fact, Zeng Rong herself felt inexplicable, she originally wanted to be polite, and end the topic so that she could follow their brothers and sisters back to Xu's house to send a festival gift.

Thinking that it might be the last time she would accompany Xu Jing to eat, Zeng Rong followed Chen into the stove room, although she was not very good at cooking, she knew Xu Jing's preferences and personally arranged a few dishes.

The stove room was originally a heavy place for oil smoke, and Chen pushed Zeng Rong out when he prepared the menu, and when she returned to the hall, she didn't see Zeng Hua and Xu Jing, but Xu Jing sat alone on a circle chair and drank tea.

"What about the two?" Zeng Rong asked casually.

"I went to the backyard, Ah Jing said that I wanted to see your embroidered wedding dress." Xu Jing looked at Zeng Rong's eyes and replied.

This kind of reckless behavior that violates the way of hospitality is not like Xu Jing brought it up, most likely Zeng Hua specially pulled Xu Jing to the backyard, in order to leave a place for the two of them to talk, after all, Zeng Hua also knew that after this meeting, it would be difficult for the two to see each other again.

"Have you taken the children's exam this year?" Zeng Rong avoided the other party's gaze and asked without words.

In my impression, Xu Jing was a talent in the fourteen-year-old examination, so Lord Xu had high hopes for him, and Xu Jing did not live up to expectations.

"No, I want to try it next year." After speaking, Xu Jing plucked up his courage and asked, "Sister Rong, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Yes." Zeng Rong nodded, not thinking much about it.

"Sister Ah Rong, I remember that when you first came, you cried at me several times, and I couldn't figure it out, can you tell me why?"

"Ahem." Zeng Rong just picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, when he heard this, his hand shook, and the tea wet his clothes.
