Chapter 300: Backer
Although more than ten years ago, when the Zhao family got married, the Li family had already taken root in Hedong Village.
I heard the old people mention that Patriarch Li was the only one who walked out of Lijia Village.
It's just that for some reason, he has been out for many years, and then suddenly comes back.
It's just that once someone mentioned the past, the father-in-law would leave angrily, and that complicated look revealed too many stories that people didn't dare to explore.
Li Xiufeng pouted: She's not stupid!
After rushing one after another, everyone was tired, the Ma family brought hot water, everyone washed up, and went back to their rooms to rest.
Chai Shuiqing and Li Xiufeng slept very soundly, and they didn't dare to sleep in the carriage when they were in a hurry, the place was too narrow, so they could only rely on each other and squint for a while.
And Patriarch Li, who was lying on the bed, didn't feel sleepy for a long time, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Zhao carefully put away the things sent by the Ma family, and suddenly felt quite stressed. No way, for so many years, she has never received such a valuable gift, and for a while, she couldn't sleep.
The surprise and joy at the beginning have settled down at this time, and I am only worried about the tomorrow that has not yet come.
When Chai Shuiqing woke up again, the room was dark.
Through the carved and hollow doors and windows, Chai Shuiqing was still a little foggy, and he didn't know where he was.
In the middle of the night, she rubbed her eyes and got up, poured two cups of water from the teapot on the table, and then tidied up and walked out of the room.
"Da Nizi, why don't you sleep for a while?"
When Zhao heard the movement, he turned his head to see that it was Chai Shuiqing and smiled.
Chai Shuiqing shook his head: "Don't dare to sleep, otherwise you won't be able to sleep at night." As he spoke, he walked over and took a look, and saw that Zhao was cooking by himself.
The subordinates who stayed before stayed quietly in the front yard, waiting for orders at any time.
Patriarch Li was drinking tea in the living room, sitting upright, his expression was not as natural as usual, and the whole person seemed to be a little restrained.
Chai Shuiqing was not good at finding out the secrets of the Li family, and after greeting the Li patriarch, he went to help the Zhao family.
Mrs. Ma prepared a lot of ingredients for them, fruits, vegetables, meat, eggs, etc., enough for several people to eat for two or three days.
Zhao didn't make any big fish and meat, but picked up the usual food dishes to make, but the staple food changed from chestnut rice to white rice.
There is no way, there is no coarse grain in the yard of the Ma family.
For dinner, only Li Xiufeng ate very happily on the table, and there was no trouble at all.
Especially the first time she ate dry white rice, Li Xiufeng only felt that the fairy-like days were nothing more than that!
Chai Shuiqing was not hungry for rice and noodles, so he ate some simply, and sat quietly on the side.
Patriarch Li didn't eat much, and even, only half a bowl of white rice was used.
Zhao's sharp eyes found that his father-in-law ate the most vegetarian dishes, and he was unconsciously worried.
After all, she has to be busy here for a few days, and then the return journey will be delayed for a while, and when the father-in-law can't stand the weight or is sick, she will be too guilty.
It's just that Zhao didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only stare at his daughter, wanting her to be sensible.
However, Li Xiufeng ate very happily, where did she see the meaning of her mother, seeing that her mother looked at her frequently, she only laughed stupidly a few times, and buried her round face in the bowl and ate it again.
Her unworried appearance made Zhao unconsciously support her forehead.
Chai Shuiqing couldn't help but smile and sat on the side, only thinking that Li Xiufeng was really funny.
Only when the people of the Li family are so pampered and protected, can Li Xiufeng grow into such an innocent appearance!
After eating, the subordinates hurriedly cleaned up and sent tea and snacks one by one.
Patriarch Li remembered tomorrow's events in his heart, and said to the Zhao family: "Someone will send you to Fengjia Zhuangzi tomorrow morning, don't be afraid of anything, do what you want at home." ”
The Zhao family, who was originally very worried, suddenly became less worried after hearing Patriarch Li's words.
Chai Shuiqing understood, this can be regarded as using the Ma family as a backer.
"The next thing, do the cooking and listen to the arrangement of the firewood girl, and you will protect some children in the world."
After Patriarch Li finished speaking, he drank two sips of tea and went back to the room.
Li Xiufeng felt that the atmosphere was a little bad, and hurriedly held her mother: "Mother, won't grandpa go with us?" ”
Her words made Zhao and Chai Shuiqing laugh unconsciously.
Zhao raised his hand and nodded his girl's forehead: "Your grandfather has helped find a place to live, and you still want your grandfather to follow you to help?" ”
While talking and laughing, the serious atmosphere of Fang Cai seemed to dissipate in an instant.
The three of them talked for a while, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
The next day, before dawn, everyone got up.
The descendants of the Ma family had already prepared breakfast, everyone had eaten in a hurry, and Patriarch Li saw everyone go away, with an inexplicable sadness in his eyebrows.
At this time, on the carriage, Li Xiufeng was still yawning, and her eyes were hazy with tears.
Zhao held a burden tightly, his face expressionless, and he seemed very nervous.
"Don't worry, auntie, we're here to help, and we'll be back when we're done."
As for the situation in the Feng family's Zhuangzi, Patriarch Li had also taken the time to say it before, and she was not worried about anything.
If there is no Ma family, they should really worry about the affairs of the Feng family's Zhuangzi, but with the support of the vest, there is no need to be afraid of the Shen family's aunt and grandmother's management.
When Zhao heard Chai Shuiqing's comfort, he was afraid that the two children would be affected by himself, so he hurriedly cleaned up his mood and smiled.
Chai Shuiqing lifted the curtain, and it was dark outside, only the cold wind that blew in from time to time made people feel shocked.
The carriage swayed and did not go fast.
In the distance, Chai Shuiqing saw the place with a glimmer of light ahead, which was the destination of their trip.
On the Fengjia Zhuangzi, several courtyards were lit up at this time, and noisy sounds could be heard closely.
It didn't take long for the carriage to stop safely outside the gate of the Feng family's Zhuangzi's courtyard.
The house covering an area of several hundred square meters is equipped with four gatehouses.
As soon as the carriage of the Ma family stopped, the gatekeeper of the Feng family's Zhuangzi courtyard ran over, looking very vigilant.
Ma Zhong, who was driving the car, was not frightened when he saw the posture of the Feng family Zhuangzi getting on and off, but snorted coldly, as if he knew that they would be like this.
"Yo, isn't this a horse steward? How did you come to our little place? ”
The porter was carrying a lantern, and someone recognized Ma Zhong at a glance, and immediately nodded and bowed.
Ma Zhong ignored the man, jumped off the horse, and said to the person in the car: "Mrs. Li, two girls, we have arrived!" ”
The Zhao family, who was already nervous, was a little worried after hearing the voices of the Feng family's Zhuangzi, and as soon as Ma Zhong said it, she was still a little hesitant.
Li Xiufeng didn't care about that, took her mother's hand and drilled out: "Mother, hurry up, it's here." ”
Chai Shuiqing followed closely, and when he got out of the carriage, he saw the Feng family Zhuangzi's other courtyard, and he was suddenly a little surprised.
From the outside, even if it is faintly lit, you can see its magnificence.
In front of him, the vermilion mansion gate was bigger than the Ma family's house, and the big red lanterns hung at both ends were very joyful. The high courtyard wall is a foot higher than the others, and the high wall gives a sense of heaviness, but it is softer because of the planting of some plants.
When the three of them looked at the Feng family's Zhuangzi courtyard, the porter also looked at them with curiosity.
Ma Zhong said respectfully: "Three of you, please come in, the little one is waiting for three of you here!" ”
He could see that his master valued these people very much, and he didn't dare to be careless at all.
And Ma Zhong's attitude also made the porter dare not be careless, and there was some faint speculation about the intentions of these people.
