"That's right." Lin Jinxiu looked at Huai Yanqing with a smile, "I think it was still summer when I met you, and it was winter in a blink of an eye." ”

Hearing Lin Jinxiu mention that when the two of them first met, Huai Yanqing lowered his head and smiled: "Do you remember when I was captured in your yard?" ”

"Huh." Lin Jinxiu laughed exaggeratedly, "I only remember that you were injured and came to cheat on my eggs, and threatened me with my and Ning'er's lives." ”

"It's not like I haven't done anything." Huai Yanqing looked away and pretended nothing had happened.

Lin Jinxiu looked at Huai Yanqing's side face, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist on the stone table.

"Huh?" Huai Yanqing noticed Lin Jinxiu's movements, and turned her head to look at her with some confusion.

Lin Jinxiu stroked her hair while watching Ning'er and them study the fire fold: "I didn't have time to say it when I was eating. ”

"In the past six months, thank you for believing in me, accompanying me, and protecting me until now."

Among these people around Lin Jinxiu, the one she wants to thank the most is Huai Yanqing.

Although the way and reason for the two to meet are very strange, since Huai Yanqing worked in Lin Jinxiu's store, the relationship between the two has grown by leaps and bounds.

It may be that they know some secrets from each other, or it may be that the two are already in the same nature......

In short, in the event after incident, the level of trust between each other is getting higher and higher, from friends, to sworn friends, to sympathetic partners, and then to the present......

Let Lin Jinxiu can't explain the relationship.

"Shopkeeper, I want to thank you too."

Huai Yanqing smiled after receiving Lin Jinxiu's thanks.

"Thank you for trusting me, for being with me, and for saving my life."

"So we seem to be the same." Lin Jinxiu laughed, "What is not thankful for owing, a write-off." ”

Huai Yanqing put his hand on his cheek: "This is not fair to me. You saved me once, I saved you several times, and you still owe me. ”

"I didn't plan to pay it back." Lin Jinxiu began to play tricks, "It's beautiful to think." ”

Huai Yanqing was overjoyed when he saw Lin Jinxiu starting to play treasure.

The eyes of the two of them were on Ning'er and Qianlu's bodies, obviously not looking at each other, but they invariably smiled.

"Shopkeeper, you ......"

After a moment of silence, Huai Yanqing suddenly said something.

But just halfway through his words, Ning Er and the others finally lit the firecrackers, and the red paper crumbs with a deafening sound covered the second half of Huai Yanqing's words.

Lin Jinxiu was unprepared, almost frightened to death by the sound of firecrackers, and let go of Huai Yanqing's arm in his hand and covered his ears.

In the cheers of Qianlu and Ning'er, firecrackers kept jumping on the ground, and the flickering firelight brought the joy of the New Year.

Not only Lin Jinxiu's home, but also the deafening sound of firecrackers came from all around the neighbors, and it seemed that the time was about the same, and it happened to be the end of the old year and the beginning of the new year.

"Yanqing, Happy New Year!"

Lin Jinxiu covered her ears and smiled brightly at Huai Yanqing.

Huai Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and then smiled.

"Happy New Year, shopkeeper."

……

Lin Jinxiu was woken up by Huai Yanqing.

Yesterday, in order to follow the custom, Lin Jinxiu and the others did not sleep all night, and they went to rest when the sky was almost bright.

In the whole house, only Xiao Lele slept soundly and was not affected by anything.

Because there was something to do today, Lin Jinxiu couldn't sleep all day even if she wanted to, so she took the wet handkerchief handed to her by Huai Yanqing and wiped her face to sober herself up.

"I'll go to the county guard's house in a while, you can't be so spiritless."

Huai Yanqing reminded Lin Jinxiu.

"Yes, yes." Lin Jinxiu stretched out her hand to catch him, "Okay, you go out and wait for me, I'm going to clean up ......"

So Huai Yanqing was kicked out of the door.

Outside the door, Cui Xu, who was about to go to his master's house to pay New Year's greetings, was already ready to go out, and saw Lin Jinxiu, who had messy hair, pushing Huai Yanqing out of the door, and said happily.

"If I didn't know you, I thought you two slept together yesterday."

In the face of Cui Xu's ridicule, Huai Yanqing just smiled: "You just know it." ”

"Brother Huai, you tell your brother the truth." Cui Xu came to Huai Yanqing's side, hooked his neck and asked quietly, "Do you want to marry the shopkeeper?" ”

Cui Xu's question was too energetic, and Huai Yanqing looked at him with empty eyes: "Why do you think so?" ”

"Looking at the relationship between the two of you, it's the difference between not sleeping in the same house with an old husband and wife." Cui Xu patted Huai Yanqing's shoulder seriously.

"Hey, if you have an idea, act quickly, there are so many people pursuing our shopkeeper now, be careful of being compared."

After Cui Xu finished speaking, he went out to see his master with the gift in his hand, leaving Huai Yanqing to stand alone in the courtyard and wait for Lin Jinxiu to come out.

"Compare it...... Is it? Huai Yanqing lowered his head and muttered.

"It's a little hard......"

As he was talking, Lin Jinxiu packed up and walked out, seeing that Huai Yanqing was bowing his head in a daze, he stretched out his hand and waved in front of him: "Wake up!" Let's go! ”

"Ah, okay." Huai Yanqing came back to his senses and went out side by side with Lin Jinxiu.

In fact, the two of them don't have any relatives to run, but since Dr. Ren is in the county town, Lin Jinxiu also plans to take advantage of the New Year's name to see Dr. Ren, and by the way, learn about the current situation of the little master.

Tuk tuk, the red front door was knocked, Lin Jinxiu tidied up his clothes, and stood obediently waiting for the door to open the door.

"Oh, it's Shopkeeper Lin!"

The family who opened the door hadn't seen Lin Jinxiu for a long time, and she was still a little excited when she saw her.

"It's me." Lin Jinxiu greeted him warmly, "Why didn't the little brother go home for the New Year?" ”

The family touched the back of his head: "Home is a bit far away, so I only go back once in two or three years." ”

"Yikes." Lin Jinxiu heard about him, so she took out a paper bag from the things she brought and stuffed it for him, "Come, take it, this is our home-filled sausage, Happy New Year!" ”

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Lin!" The person who got the gift was super happy and bowed to Lin Jinxiu and the others.

Lin Jinxiu smiled, waved his hand and took Huai Yanqing into the courtyard of the county guard's house.

"Miss Lin, Happy New Year!"

Because Lin Jinxiu had already brought a message to the county guard, the county guard and Doctor Ren were also waiting for them.

When Lin Jinxiu was taken away by Dr. Ren to chat, the county guard looked at Huai Yanqing who was following Lin Jin seriously and saluted him.

Huai Yanqing smiled and waved his hand.

"Miss Lin." Doctor Ren saw Lin Jinxiu's mouth with just two words, "Come and show me, the little master can almost stand up!" ”

"Really!" Hearing that the little young master was about to recover, Lin Jinxiu was also very happy, and followed Dr. Ren to the room they had been to.

The last time Lin Jinxiu came here, there was still a sour smell of vomit in the little young master's room, but now that the incense has been lit, all the strange smell is gone.

Lin Jinxiu probed his head and saw a neatly dressed young man sitting next to his desk, holding a pen and writing something.

"Little master." Dr. Ren shouted, "Let's see who's here?" ”

The little young master raised his head, his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Jinxiu, and he stood up and bowed: "Shopkeeper Lin." ”

Lin Jinxiu also hurriedly returned the salute: "Little master." ”

"Girls don't have to be polite."

The little young master who has recovered his health is just a little paler, his eyes are clear, polite, and he looks like a scholar.

Speaking of scholars, Lin Jinxiu's mind appeared the appearance of Qin Shuyao, who had not been seen for a long time, but this little young master looked different from Qin Shuyao, with less official authority and a dark belly, and more gentle and elegant.

"It's good for the girl to call Zhen Yue." The little young master said.

Lin Jinxiu also said, "Zhen Gongzi looks like a real son." ”

Lin Jinxiu's ridicule of the little master's surname caused Zhen Yue to smile: "Then is it okay to call you Miss Lin next?" ”

"Absolutely." Lin Jinxiu nodded.

Doctor Ren stroked his beard and smiled: "Miss Lin, it is really thanks to you that the little master can recover." ”

Zhen Yue also followed Dr. Ren's words and saluted Lin Jinxiu: "Thank you girl for saving your life." ”

Lin Jinxiu hurriedly waved his hand: "Where, where!" If it weren't for Dr. Ren's superb medical skills, I would have been able to cheer you up on the side. ”

As he spoke, Lord County Shou and Huai Yanqing also arrived here.

Lord County Shou pointed at Doctor Ren and said, "Old Ren, you are not kind, I haven't had time to say a few more words to Shopkeeper Lin, why can't you see anyone!" ”

Lin Jinxiu stuck out her tongue.

Doctor Ren was happy: "This Lin girl is not here to see you, but to see me, of course I can take it wherever I want!" ”

"Why can't Shopkeeper Lin come to see me!" Seeing that Dr. Ren was actually arguing with him, the county guard also said, "We have also solved cases together before, why can't we?" ”

Seeing that these two old men actually began to fight for themselves, Lin Jinxiu shrunk her neck and couldn't cry or laugh.

Zhen Yue saw that Lin Jinxiu was a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "Miss Lin, don't be surprised, Dr. Ren has not started a family until now, and my family has two brothers in addition to me, and my father has always wanted a daughter." ”

"A smart and capable person like Miss Lin is naturally pleasing to the two old men!"

Lin Jinxiu was a little embarrassed to be praised, so she could only stand in place and smile.

The county guard and Dr. Ren quarreled for a few words, and then invited Lin Jinxiu and Huai Yanqing to stay for dinner at noon, and talk about recent things by the way.

Lin Jinxiu readily agreed.

"Shopkeeper Lin should have also received an invitation from this official." On the way to the dining room, the county guard said to Lin Jinxiu, "Tomorrow is the time for the food festival to begin, is Shopkeeper Lin ready?" ”

"Ready." Lin Jinxiu thought of the location of her own store, "I have to thank Lord County Shou for choosing a good location for me!" ”

"With the level of the shopkeeper Lin's shopkeeper, he is definitely worthy of that good position." The county guard stretched out his hand and motioned for Lin Jinxiu to take a seat.

Lin Jinxiu was also not polite, said thank you and sat in the position given to her by the county guard, and Huai Yanqing also sat next to her at the invitation of the county guard.

Lin Jinxiu was very satisfied with the county guard's behavior of treating Huai Yanqing as a guest instead of his follower, but he didn't know that the county guard originally wanted to give him a seat, but he refused by himself.

"Father." At this time, Zhen Yue said to the county, "Can my son sit next to Miss Lin?" ”

"Oh?" The county guard reflexively glanced at Huai Yanqing, "Why is this?" ”

"Miss Lin saved her son's life, and her son hasn't thanked him yet." Zhen Yue said.
