"Yes, students follow the teachings of their teachers." Mu Jingxiao replied respectfully, the etiquette is afraid that there is no trace of fault, at this moment, even if he is wearing cotton clothes, he looks quite a bit of literati elegance, if Zhao Yingying can see it, he will be amazed and shouted, abstinence scholar!

Wu Xiucai then said a few words to Mu Jingsheng and Mu Jingjiu one by one, until everyone put the sacrifices together, the ancestral hall where the ancestors were enshrined together did not officially begin to worship, and only men could participate in the worship ceremony, and the women had to retreat to wait outside the ancestral hall after placing the sacrificial items.

waited for about an hour for this solemn and rigorous ancestor worship to be completely over, and Zhao Yingying finally got rid of those gossiping women, God knows how she came over this hour! It's just horrible! Can't be provoked, can't be provoked! She felt like she was almost a repeater.

"Oh my God! Why do those grandmothers and aunts ask so much? Fortunately, I was tight-mouthed, otherwise I would have been dizzy. Zhao Yingying was lying on the bed with a tired face, she really encountered this kind of battle for the first time today, and those women were so gossiping that they wanted to make her faint.

Mu Jingxiao entered the house with a bowl of warm tea, put it aside and reached out to caress her slightly frowning eyebrows: "Okay, it's just this time a year, this year is a little special, and you are a bride, they are inevitably curious, and when they have a sister-in-law, they will naturally not look for you, and you will be much more relaxed at that time." ”

Zhao Yingying nodded, holding Mu Jingxiao's good-looking palm to cover half of her face, she couldn't help rubbing it when she was touched by the warm palm, although she knew what was going on in her heart, but she was really tired! Well, only Xianggong's warm palm can relieve her withering mood!

Mu Jingxiao's eyes changed slightly, but the slightly cool skin in his palm made him feel hot, but looking at the little girl's delicate appearance, he was reluctant to withdraw his palm. sighed helplessly in the bottom of her heart, and finally let Zhao Yingying do nothing. Who let his little daughter-in-law be so abrasive, he can only be spoiled.

Zhao Yingying didn't know how much of an impact her unintentional actions had on Mu Jingxiao, her face was warm and she had to rush into someone's arms, just pounce, she was still restless after puffing, if it weren't for Mu Jingxiao's forbearance kung fu that she had already practiced during this time, Zhao Yingying would be afraid that she would not cry.

On the first three days of the year, everyone spent a beautiful New Year's Festival at home, and they didn't meet again until the fifth day of the year, which was because Su Yue didn't want to delay the matter of charcoal and mentioned it to the Mu family, otherwise it would not start construction again until at least the seventh day of the year.

Su Yue originally didn't want to be so early, but after the third day of the New Year, the weather became a lot colder, and there was a thick fog in the morning.

Fortunately, Zhao Yingying and the three brothers of the Mu family have almost rested in the past few days, whether they do anything or not, it is actually like that for them, except for Zhao Yingying, who is a little lazy and does not like to get up early, Mu Jingsheng and the three of them have no problem at all, doing work is the most common thing in the village, it is basically a normal life, and not doing work will make them feel uncomfortable, and the three of them are also tinkering at home every day during the New Year.

The traps and protections placed outside the courtyard wall have all been renovated in the past few days, the vegetable patch in the backyard has also been tinkered, and all the places in the roof courtyard have been thoroughly inspected by the brothers and brothers, and there is no missing edge and corner, Zhao Yingying is simply eye-opening.

The main reason is that Mu Jingfang's hands-on ability is beyond her expectations, and the teenager who looks at the elegant literati temperament on weekdays has so many life skills, but she never thought of it, from repairing the roof to make traps, to repairing the legs of the chair and mending the wall ash, there is nothing that cannot be done.

This directly led to Zhao Yingying's satisfaction with Mu Jingfang breaking through the original standard line, and she didn't know how to thank God in her heart.

"Ah Yue, we are going to Fucheng to play on the fifteenth year of the year, will you take Ah Rui with us?" Zhao Yingying leaned on the wooden pile and asked.

"Fucheng? What's so special? Su Yue looked up at her, wondering why she had gone so far to play.

Zhao Yingying leaned over and said with a smile: "Then there must be, Lantern Festival!" The original kind, how about it? Go ahead? Zhao Yingying raised her eyebrows, she felt that Su Yue must be also very interested, after all, they were fellow countrymen, and they had a lot in common.

Sure enough, Su Yue was surprised, and Zhan Yan responded: "Okay, we will go when the time comes, it just so happens that we still have money in our hands, which I don't dare to spend in the village, and if I save it, I will save it, it is better to go out and have a good time, it is worth the money." ”

"Yes, yes, I plan to bring all my small treasury, and when the time comes, just buy and buy, anyway, the eldest brother of the family has arranged them very properly, and I am not afraid that they will have problems, and my money may not be able to help." Zhao Yingying said in a low voice.

Originally, she wanted to save money, after all, in a strange world, only money can give people a sense of security, but unfortunately later she found that although she was quite able to make money, the foundation of the Mu family was really good, and she didn't need her to make a fortune with the whole family like those heroines, half of the money in her small treasury was the medical fee that the Mu family gave Su Yue at the beginning, and Su Yue directly transferred it back to her after the truth was revealed.

A few years ago, Zhao Yingying specially counted her savings, and most of the money she earned was used to buy medicine, and then she was busy making charcoal or something and didn't dig up herbs much, so in the end, there were more than fifty taels left, and then plus two hundred taels of the consultation fee, Zhao Yingying had a total of two hundred and fifty-eight taels. According to her understanding of the purchasing power of money in this world, she can buy a small store in the town with more than 200 of them, tsk, a huge amount of money!

And during the Chinese New Year, Mu Jingsheng drank Mu Jingjiu as a brother and gave her New Year's money, although she was embarrassed to accept it, but she was even more embarrassed to refuse, so she finally accepted it, the red envelopes of the two brothers were simply amazing, they were all silver tickets! The denomination is twenty taels, and now another forty taels are directly credited to the account. Zhao Yingying now feels that she has become a little rich woman, and carefully counting the money she earns, even if she doesn't buy medicine, there won't be so much left.

"Okay, you have a husband to support, you can buy it if you want to, what are you afraid of? If you have money, you can't lose, what do you keep it for. Su Yue rarely laughed at Zhao Yingying blatantly when the Mu family was present, raising her eyebrows and throwing a playful little look, which directly made Zhao Yingying ashamed.

"Ah Yue~ Are you envious~ Are you jealous~ Do you want to marry into our family!" Zhao Yingying will not be afraid of Su Yue's ridicule, shame is shame, this counterattack is still leveraged! It's a routine directly, and the more he says it, the louder he says, the people of the Mu family who have been practicing martial arts have heard it all clearly.

Mu Jingsheng was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look over, and Mu Jingjiu and Mu Jingxiao also turned their heads to look at each other.

Su Yue originally smiled easily, but when she heard the latter sentence, she was a little stunned, and her heart couldn't help but speed up, seeing that everyone looked at it, she blushed directly at the moment, and glanced at Zhao Yingying in annoyance: "You will talk nonsense, hurry up and get a pile of wood, and I'll pick up wood." After saying that, he hurriedly ran into the woods.

Zhao Yingying laughed wantonly like a successful trick again, seeing that Mu Jingsheng was still making a kiln wall there, she hated that iron could not become steel, her routine was ready-made, why are you still in a daze here! Hurry up and hit the hot iron! How long will it take to wait for this great opportunity to go further?

"Big brother, what are you still doing here! Hurry up and chase Ah Yue! Hurry up! Hurry up! Zhao Yingying pushed Mu Jingsheng down, anxious.

Mu Jingsheng suddenly came back to his senses, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he subconsciously chased after Zhao Yingying's words.

Mu Jingjiu watched his eldest brother quickly disappear into the forest, and stretched out his hand to give Zhao Yingying a thumbs up: "Yingying, you have made meritorious service today, and the second brother will make you your favorite roast meat and pheasant soup in the evening." ”

Zhao Yingying grinned, raised her chin and couldn't do it arrogantly: "I can't make a move, it's definitely a good idea!" ”

Mu Jingjiu didn't know what the word was, but he probably understood what it meant, and he liked it with his thumbs up before continuing to do things with a smile.

Mu Jingfang patted a charcoal kiln, got up and pulled his little daughter-in-law aside, and asked helplessly: "What did you say to Miss Su just now?" Why do you suddenly talk like that? What if Miss Su gets angry, you can't just talk nonsense just because you have a good time with Miss Su, what should you do if you get annoyed when the time comes? ”

Zhao Yingying snorted, pouted and said, "You don't believe me!" Am I the kind of person who talks nonsense? ”

Looking at the little daughter-in-law's puffed up appearance, Mu Jingxiao's heart tightened, and she quickly explained: "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just afraid that you will forget your sense of proportion, we can't interfere in the affairs of the eldest brother and Miss Su, I'm afraid that you will hurt the relationship with Miss Su." ”

Zhao Yingying got better, raised her eyes and said: "No, I didn't specially introduce the words, it was just a coincidence, and the relationship between me and Ah Yue is not what you think, the relationship between me and Ah Yue is very close, even if I ask and match, I won't hurt my feelings because of this kind of thing." Zhao Yingying is still very confident in this, she doesn't ask and doesn't take the initiative to match because she respects Su Yue, and she has a very important relationship with Su Yue.

She and Su Yue are said to be fellow countrymen and girlfriends, but more people with the same experience and the same loneliness and helplessness, they are not only girlfriends and friends, they are two strangers who have left their hometown alone and drifted alone, and it can even be said that they have no other people to rely on and trust each other than each other.

Even if Zhao Yingying really likes Mu Jingxiao now, she still doesn't dare to let him know the secrets in her heart, the loneliness and longing that people dare not detect...... She looks happy and carefree, and she is happy every day, but this is not a cover-up. She misses the familiar world, the family and friends she loved...... But no matter how deep this miss is into the bone marrow, she can't go back after all, she doesn't dare to think about it from time to time, and she is afraid to recall, so she can only make herself happier, so that she can silently convince herself that she is also very happy here.

And Su Yue, even if Su Pingrui gave her the warmth of her relatives, she also trusted and recognized the little guy's younger brother, but that strange experience, unique identity, and those memories and emotions that can't be let go, she probably won't let people know until she dies.

Su Yue and Zhao Yingying were able to become confidants and best friends so quickly after knowing each other's identities, because they both had a heavy anxiety and longing in their hearts, they were equally afraid, lonely, and trying to adapt to the world......

Zhao Yingying's idea of matching Mu Jingsheng and Su Yue is not only because she thinks that the two of them are suitable for a good future, but also because she doesn't want to be separated from Su Yue...... She was afraid that she would lose the only existence related to that world, and that she would become a lonely boat...... Even Su Yue is just as helpless, but they can at least keep each other warm, right? At least, at least there is someone in this other world who can give himself a familiar feeling.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yingying's always sunny expression also dimmed, and she couldn't help but ask softly when she looked at the handsome young man in front of her, "Will Ah Yue and Big Brother really be together?" "What if not? Does Ah Yue really like Mu Jingsheng? If she separates from Ah Yue, what will happen to her in the future?

Thinking that Su Yue might be separated from herself, Zhao Yingying's heart became dull, this world is so backward and ancient, if they are separated, I am afraid that there will really be no chance to meet again...... She's really ...... when the time comes. It's just me.

Cold tears crossed her face, Zhao Yingying was slightly stunned, and subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it, but her cheeks had already been warmly caressed. In the next moment, she was tightly embraced into a warm embrace, and the light smell of soap filled her nose, and Zhao Yingying suddenly came back to her senses.

"Yingying, don't cry, it's me who is not good, I shouldn't say this." Mu Jingxiao carefully patted her shoulder, and his tone was anxious. He could feel the sadness exuding from the little girl at the moment, but he didn't know why, the cold tears seemed to be filling his heart at this moment, making his chest feel uncomfortable.

He didn't know why she was sad and cried, but when the crystal tears came out, he clearly felt his heart hurt...... Mu Jingxiao recalled the bits and pieces of Fang Cai, the fleeting loneliness and hesitation on Zhao Yingying's body, and couldn't help but hug him slightly, his little daughter-in-law was not happy all the time...... It was he who was negligent, if he was happy, how could he have pretended to be stupid for so many years? She must have suffered a lot and been wronged a lot over the years...... Thinking of this, Mu Jingfang regretted that he couldn't do it, in vain he always felt that he was extremely smart, but he didn't want to be stupid at a critical moment.

looked at the little girl's carefree appearance every day, but forgot to think deeply, the thoughtfulness and care he thought were not enough at all, he didn't know what Zhao Yingying had experienced, he didn't know what kind of sadness and pain she had, and he didn't understand what she was afraid of...... It turns out that he has not done well all along.

"Yingying, don't be sad, I'm here, I'll always be with you, okay?" He didn't understand her grief, but he wanted to help her share it......

Zhao Yingying sighed in her heart, her sadness came from such a distant place, I'm sorry I can't tell you, and I can't let you share it.

"I'm fine, I just want to cry for some reason." Zhao Yingying raised her head and smiled, her face was as innocent as ever.

Mu Jingxiao looked at her smile but felt distressed, he used to feel happy and happy when he saw her laughing, but now he only felt guilty and uneasy, and sighed slightly in his heart, he didn't seem to know his little wife at all, such a bright smile was obviously hiding his sadness, but since he had never found out, he still didn't care enough about her, and he couldn't even let her rely on it.

"Well, if you are angry, you can sprinkle it on me, and you don't have to hide it when you are sad, I am your father-in-law, Yingying, try to rely on me, okay?" Mu Jingxiao looked at Zhao Yingying in his arms, and said seriously, he didn't dare to be arrogant, he wanted to understand her, to know more. I want her to trust, rely on, not just like her, it turns out that he is greedy, and he wants so much, not just to trap her around......

Zhao Yingying was slightly stunned, raised her eyes and smiled: "Okay, it's a pity that I'm not angry or sad now." After speaking, he playfully stuck out his tongue, as if it was a pity, but now that Mu Jingfang, who has found the clues, will no longer be confused by the performance, even if she is playful, he can still feel her true emotions.

"Well, the coming day is long, we have a lifetime, Yingying, I will always be good to you, always." Mu Jingxiao's deep eyes looked straight at her, usually Mu Jingxiao was full of money, but at this moment, he just wanted to say such straightforward words, and the whispered words were like oaths, which made Zhao Yingying's heart tremble.

Without waiting for Zhao Yingying to say anything, the slightly cool lips were already covered, Mu Jingxiao didn't dare to listen to her answer, and he didn't want to, what he wanted was not an answer, but her heart. wants to be the person she really trusts, the person she wants to rely on, the person she really cares about, if he can't do it now, then he will definitely be able to do it in the future, he won't give up, and he doesn't want to let go, this is his little wife, it's the light he wants to catch that warms him...... If he loses, he will go crazy.

Zhao Yingying hugged him helplessly, the tip of her heart was still familiar and pleasant, her lips were warm and soft, the kiss that had always made her blush and heartbeat was now without those lingering pink feelings, she felt sour for the first time that she wanted to cry, for the first time, yes, for so long, but she could never go back......

Slightly cool tears overflowed the corners of his lips, Mu Jingxiao stopped moving, looking at Zhao Yingying, whose face was wet with tears again, his heart was almost suffocated, but at this moment, he could only bow his head and kiss the tears on her little face silently, hoping to erase her sadness, if he could, he would rather be sad himself.

Zhao Yingying was softened by Mu Jingxiao's careful kiss, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in her heart could no longer be controlled, and her little hands tightened, hugging Mu Jingxiao's neck and burying her head and crying. At this moment, Zhao Yingying just wanted to cry out the grievances and sadness in her heart, she didn't think about those concerns, she didn't fear exposure, and she didn't worry about being doubted and suspected by others.
