016 The First Snow and Uninvited Guests
Jing Xi hid the money he got from selling the medicine separately from the money he had from selling Ganoderma lucidum last time.
The money from selling the medicine is her own, while the rest is Sheng Xiangyun's.
She wasn't sure how long she would be able to stay with the kid, so she started saving for him early.
When Jing Xi saved about twenty taels of silver, winter also came.
As soon as it was cold, she had no way to go up the mountain to collect medicine, so she could only stay at home.
The other women in the family either put the soles of their shoes in the sun or embroidered all day long, and she didn't know any of this, only simple sewing.
But there weren't so many torn clothes for her to sew at home, so she had to take the children out to play.
One day in November, it suddenly snowed.
Jing Xi took a few children to have a snowball fight outside, and Sheng Xiangyun jumped around.
A fat rabbit that came out of nowhere suddenly hit him, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he threw the rabbit into his arms.
Jing Xi is already surprised by this.
Before I took him to the river to wash his hands, a fish bit his fingers and refused to let go.
Another time I took him to dig yellow mud to make salted duck eggs, and dug out half a copper coin.
Now it's not unusual for rabbits to deliver their own doors.
Sheng Xiaoman and the dragon and phoenix fetus were overjoyed, and they scrambled one by one: "Ahhh I want to hug, I want to hug. ”
Three children, you are about to fight.
"I'll do it later, I'll run away in a while." Jing Xi stepped forward and quelled this 'war'
As soon as she lifted the rabbit, she heard Aunt Hong next door open the courtyard door and poke out half of her head.
"Yo, what did your family Xiangyun pick up this time? It's a fat rabbit. That's nice! ”
Aunt Hong had a look of envy on her face, and her eyes swept back and forth on Sheng Xiangyun with some greed: "Your family doesn't have to spend money to have meat to eat every day." ”
Aunt Hong has a lot of eyes, Jing Xi doesn't like to deal with her, and she doesn't like the way she looks at Xiangyun.
She ignored Aunt Hong and called a few children home.
Aunt Hong rolled her eyes: "What's the big deal!" ”
With the light of Sheng Xiangyun, it is not the first time that the Sheng family has eaten rabbit meat.
When it comes to the craft of skinning rabbits, no one in the Sheng family can compare to Jingxi.
Before wearing the book, students in medical school often experimented with rabbits, and she was able to capture the skills of skinning and disemboweling.
However, this kind of scene is a bit bloody and not suitable for children to see.
So Jing Xi took the rabbit to the backyard to deal with it.
At the beginning just now, Jing Xi heard a commotion in front of him, as if a guest was coming.
But she didn't care, anyway, there were people in front of her.
After carefully handling the rabbit, Jing Xi carried the rabbit meat back to the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, Jing Xi saw that Chen Taohua was actually making tea.
And I still use good tea at home, not the kind of broken tea foam.
Jing Xi suddenly became curious: "What kind of guests are coming to the house?" ”
"Yikes! Sister-in-law, why are you so fast? Let me tell you, there are people in the big brother's barracks. ”
"Barracks?" Jing Xi's first thought was that Sheng Ting had restored his identity and returned.
But she only saved twenty taels of silver.
He's coming back, isn't it...... Somewhat early?
But Jing Xi quickly reacted, she was thinking too much.
If this is really the return of a 'dead' person in Sheng Ting, then what is it?
The family must have called her wife out early in the morning, and the whole family was lively, not as solemn and restrained as now.
"Who is it?" Jing Xi put the rabbit meat on the cutting board and asked Chen Taohua.
Chen Taohua said: "It's the captain who came to give our family silver last time, and I don't know what I'm doing today, and I'm accompanied by Muramasa." ”
Was the captain who gave a pension last time...... Jing Xi knew that there was such a person, but the original owner didn't see it last time.
So Jing Xi didn't have any impression of that officer.
"And what are they going to do?" Jing Xi asked again.
Chen Taohua shook her head: "I don't know about this, grandma, Brother Rong and the third child are ...... reception."
Chen Taohua whispered softly, and said: "After all, it is the person from the eldest brother's barracks, or this tea should be brought over by the sister-in-law, the general has a big waist and a round waist, looking at ...... It's weird to look at. ”
Jing Xi knew that Chen Taohua was timid, washed his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, it's troublesome for the second brother and sister to make tea." ”
Chen Taohua hurriedly waved his hand: "It's not troublesome." ”
Jing Xi tidied up his clothes a little and went out with tea.
I don't know what this officer is doing this time.
She had doubts in her heart, but when she walked to the door of the hall, she was stunned!
In the hall, the bearded man standing next to the village is probably the general they said was the general who came to give the pension last time, right?
How could it be such a coincidence?
Jing Xi frowned and unconsciously slowed down his pace.
And the bearded man, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up the moment he saw her, and he even subconsciously took two steps forward.
"It's really you! Is it really you? "The bearded man spoke in a strange mood, a little excited, and a little regretful.
Jing Xi subconsciously took a step back and distanced himself from the beard.
Mrs. Sheng's shrewd eyes swung back and forth between the two, and finally landed on Jing Xi's face.
"Did you two already know each other?"
Jingxi: "......" knew that he didn't lie and said that he hadn't saved him, who knew that he was the one who gave the pension.
But since he was the one who gave the pension at the beginning, why didn't so many people in the Sheng family recognize him at that time?
To recognize it as soon as possible, she didn't have to deliberately hide the matter of saving him because she was worried about affecting the Sheng family.
Thinking of this, the expression on Jing Xi's face was a little complicated.
The bearded man wasn't stupid, he was just too excited.
immediately explained: "Please don't misunderstand, old lady, my brother and sister and I didn't know each other before." It's just that last time I was stung by a wasp in the mountains, my life was hanging by a thread, thanks to my brother and sister who saved my life. ”
Saved him? Mrs. Sheng frowned: "Captain Xue is saying that the person who stuck a reed pole in his neck that day was you?" ”
Recalling the situation of that day, the bearded man still has palpitations:
"Exactly! Thanks to my brother and sister's decision, otherwise my life would have been given to that hornet.
However, I shaved that day, and I had only met the old lady once before, and it was normal for the old lady not to recognize me. ”
"I see!" Mrs. Sheng said this, but her eyes fell on Jing Xi.
She wanted to ask Jing Xi, since she was the one she saved, why did she lie before?
But now that there are outsiders here, Mrs. Sheng is naturally not good at handling family affairs, so she only instructed Jing Xi: "What are you doing there?" The tea is cold. ”
The bearded man didn't want Jing Xi to be embarrassed, so he sat down again, and Jing Xi also sent the tea over.
Muramasa, who accompanied him, took the tea and said with a smile: "So it's great that the person Xue Xiaowei is looking for has been found." ”
When Mrs. Sheng heard this, she glanced at Jing Xi again.
The look in his eyes...... Jing Xi felt wronged, she really had nothing to do with this beard.
"I don't know that Captain Xue is just a one-sided relationship, I don't know what Captain Xue came to me for today?" Gotta get it right!
