Su Jinyao was pondering whether to wait or go to Quanqing Zhuxiang to look for it, or find someone else to ask about the situation.

Then I saw Aunt Niu walking over to this side, looking around as she walked, and when she saw Su Jinyao, she waved from afar, shouting, "Jinyao, it's really you back." Why don't you go to my aunt's house to sit? ”

Su Jinyao greeted with a smile: "Aunt Niu is good." I also just came back, and I have something to do with Chunniu. Thinking about it and then going to my aunt's house to sit, I didn't expect to meet you. ”

"What happened, didn't you find that my aunt came to you on purpose? If it weren't for our family's Caique saying, it seems that I saw you walking past, I wouldn't have known that you were back. Aunt Niu said as she walked over, and she was about to pull Su Jinyao's hand.

A-Ning frowned, and deliberately stepped forward to block it.

Su Jinyao naturally knew that this was Ah Ning's duty, and she was afraid that there would be another misunderstanding, so she pushed Ah Ning forward and blocked Aunt Niu's outstretched hand, and introduced: "Aunt Niu, this is one of my maids, will she go with her?" ”

"Huh? All came back with maids? Aunt Niu looked at A-Ning, who had a condensed face, stalked for a moment, and said with a smile: "Aunt Niu really didn't expect that your life in the city would be so good." Aunt Niu's house is not a great place, and you can still eat your maid. Come on, come along. ”

Su Jinyao knew that Aunt Niu was really enthusiastic, and she just wanted to ask about Chunniu, so she simply followed Aunt Niu.

Aunt Niu's house has not changed much, and the vegetable garden in front and back is still full of green vegetables, and it looks full of life as soon as you enter the door.

Aunt Niu kept letting Su Jinyao to the main house, asked Su Jinyao to sit down, and shouted, "Caique, Jinyao is here." You read that right, it's really her. ”

As soon as Aunt Niu's words fell, Caique had already run in, and called affectionately: "Second sister of the Su family." ”

I haven't seen her for a few years, and Caique has also become a big girl. Although she is shorter than Su Jinyao, she has a very good figure, and her appearance is also middle-to-upper, and she can be regarded as the first few handsome girls in this Pingshan Village.

The fragrance of spring and bamboo has changed greatly

Su Jinyao saw that only Caique came in alone, so she asked, "Aunt Niu, where is Caiyan?" She's not home? ”

Su Jinyao clearly remembered that Aunt Niu's Caiyan and Caique were very attentive to their younger brother Xiaocheng'er.

At that time, she thought that Xiao Cheng'er could get along with one of the two sisters, but she didn't expect that now Xiao Cheng'er has a little thought about Xiuxiu.

When Aunt Niu heard Su Jinyao ask, she smiled and said, "I'm married." I got married last fall. It is a family in ancient elm town, honest, duty, and good for Caiyan. ”

Then, Aunt Niu looked at Su Jinyao again, and asked with a smile, "Jinyao, are you also married?" Aunt Niu thinks you are very different from before. Not only is it beautiful, but this figure and appearance seem to be a little daughter-in-law. ”

The eldest girl got married and became a little daughter-in-law, and of course a discerning person can see it at once.

Su Jinyao didn't always have to pretend to be a little girl, so she nodded with a smile and said, "It's also not long after getting married." Isn't this coming back to save relatives, by the way, come to my hometown to see. ”

"And what do you men do? Is it good for you? Aunt Niu asked anxiously. But without waiting for Su Jinyao to answer, he said, "It must be a good person." You're such a capable girl, and you're going to marry well. ”

Su Jinyao nodded with a smile and said, "It's good." And you also know my husband, it's the nephew of Daddy Gao. ”

As soon as Su Jinyao finished speaking, Aunt Niu and Caique were stunned.

Aunt Niu sighed twice and said, "At that time, I also heard that you were close to Daddy Gao's nephew, and the village also said that he was the young master of a big family in the city." Now, it seems, is it true? ”

Su Jinyao nodded again and said, "Their family background is very good. And he and I live in the capital now. ”

"Ah, that's really good. I didn't expect that there is such a number one person in our Pingshan Village. Aunt Niu "tsk" a few times again, and said, "Why don't you say that you have a good eye." Originally, Father Gao took his nephew to nest in the bamboo forest in the mountain pass, which is a family that no one in our village has paid attention to, but I didn't expect such a big fate with you. ”

Fate? Yes and no. Thinking about Gu Xuebin's cold-faced and arrogant appearance at the beginning, if he were any girl in this village, he would not look at it.

After talking for a while, Su Jinyao asked, "Aunt Niu, what about Chunniu?" It's time to come back. ”

"You don't know? They moved to the other side of the hill and lived in bunks. Aunt Niu sat on the small bench beside her, sewing the insoles of the colors, and said: "Those two are very busy, and it is troublesome to go over the mountains and mountains every day, so they simply moved over." ”

Su Jinyao asked again: "Then if I go over now, I can find them?" ”

"Yes." Aunt Niu pointed to Caique and said, "Every morning, she delivers food to the shop over there, and then stays to help with a short job, isn't it when I come back to see you go to Chunniu's house." My family's food is now sent to the shop over there, and I don't need to send it to the city anymore. ”

As she spoke, Aunt Niu also gave Su Jinyao a thumbs up and said, "If you want to say, Jinyao, you are really a powerful person." The shops on the official road on the other side of the mountain make a lot of money every day; On the other side, there is a mine in the mountains, and many men in the village still work in the mines, and they make a lot of money. By the way, Wang Changliang also worked in the mine, because he could keep accounts, and I heard that he was a small leader. ”

The name Wang Changliang Su Jinyao hasn't remembered it for a long time, and it still sounds like a joke at this moment.

At the beginning, Su Jinyao calculated Wang Changliang and Qiu Hong, exposing the ugly things of the two of them to the eyes of the whole village.

Qiu Hong was later sold to the Red Sleeves Workshop, and was released by Su Jinyao. Wang Changliang didn't seem to be much involved.

But this matter has passed, and Su Jinyao is too lazy to inquire again. What he does in the mine has nothing to do with Su Jinyao.

And from another point of view, Wang Changliang originally thought that he could go to the town to be a bookkeeper, but now he only ends up being the head of the village mine, which is really not very good.

Now that she asked where Chunniu and Siping went, Su Jinyao didn't stay any longer. Seeing that it was about to get dark, Su Jinyao wanted to take advantage of the darkness to go over the mountain to have a look.

Therefore, Su Jinyao said goodbye to Aunt Niu and left with A-Ning. Aunt Niu also warmly greeted Su Jinyao to come over to play again, or come back to their house for dinner when she came back later.

Su Jinyao also agreed, but Bacheng would not come over again.

Walking up the mountain, the road on this side has not been built into a big road. However, there are probably people walking back and forth every day, so the sheep intestine path here is also a lot wider, the road surface is flat, and the grass does not grow.

This mountain was not very high in the first place, but now that the road is better, Su Jinyao and A Ning will walk faster.

When she arrived near the spring halfway up the mountain, Su Jinyao deliberately walked over to take a look. That's where she got her first pot of gold.

Today, the spring is still there, and the water is still clear and bubbling up. However, the surrounding area is fenced off, and a very decent bamboo shed has been built, presumably to protect the water source.

Su Jinyao stood here for a while, and then continued to walk up the mountain. As soon as she crossed the mountain, she saw the fragrance of spring and bamboo at the bottom of the mountain, which was completely unexpected by her.

Today's Quanqing Zhuxiang is no longer a lobby-like restaurant, but has been built on the second floor, and a large courtyard has been enclosed on the left and right.

And not only the two-story small building of Quanqing Zhuxiang, but the bamboo shed of the original site opposite is gone, and an inn and carriage are opened.

It was getting late and the sun was below the horizon. The restaurants and inns on both sides of the official road are hung with rows of red lanterns. There are also tall bamboo poles that carry oil lamps, which can be seen from afar.

Su Jinyao only stood here and watched for a while, then quickly descended the mountain and walked directly towards the two-story building.

At this time, it was also dinner time, and there were many guests in the lobby on the first floor, and several guys were busy shuttling back and forth, shouting and shouting.

When Su Jinyao walked in, a guy ran over and greeted him warmly.

Su Jinyao also took a special look, and felt that this guy was a little familiar, but he was not impressed.

Because Su Jinyao looked at him stunned, the guy also frowned, and then suddenly shouted, "You are the second sister of the Su family." ”

"Hmm. I am. You are the ...... in the village" Su Jinyao thought again, but there was no right number.

Because although Pingshan Village is not big, there are many children from each family. There are a few who have a good relationship with Xiaocheng'er, and Su Jinyao knows them.

But there are also some children who are in a different group, they were all teenagers and half-grown children, and now they have grown into young people, and their appearance has changed so much that she can't recognize them.

Good girlfriends meet

When the guy saw Su Jinyao looking at him in a daze, he laughed a few times and said: "The second sister of the Su family may not remember me, my family and Sangouzi's family live in neighborhoods, and Sangouzi's father always ran a carriage for your family at that time, and I also came to help." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the other guys who were busy in the store and said a few names in turn. Then he smiled again: "You don't know them either, do you?" ”

Su Jinyao was a little embarrassed, shook her head and said, "I know it's all from our village, and the names sound familiar, but I really don't know much about them." ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao hurriedly changed the topic and said, "By the way, I'm here to find Chunniu." Where is she? ”

"Aunt Chunniu is at the inn. Do you see if I called her over, or did you run by yourself, second sister? ”

"I'll go myself. You're pretty busy here. Su Jinyao smiled at him again, and turned around and left with A-Ning.

There are relatively few customers here at the inn, after all, it doesn't have to be in the lobby like a restaurant. As long as he decided to stay overnight, he paid the money and went back to his room to rest with the key.

Therefore, when Su Jinyao came into the inn, there were two tall men on the counter in front of him asking the price, it seemed that they wanted to stay overnight, but they were afraid that the room price would be too expensive.

The answer is Chun Niu, listening to the voice is crisp and neat, the price is also very fair, and the hot water for washing feet is sent at night, and breakfast is noodle soup and steamed buns.

The two men heard that the conditions were really good, so they agreed to book a room for two people, left the deposit and went upstairs with the key.

When the counter was empty, Su Jinyao stepped forward.

Chun Niu was sitting behind the counter, pulling the abacus and writing down the accounts just now. I felt that someone was coming again, so I said first: "Hello guest officer, how many people live, do you want to go to the room or the shop?" Are there any horses......"

As she spoke, Chun Niu wrote the last stroke, and was stunned as soon as she looked up. After being stunned for a while, his lips moved for a long time before he said, "Jinyao, you, are you back?" ”

"yes, I just got home in the afternoon. After tidying up the house, I went to look for you, only to find out that you had moved here. Su Jinyao smiled and lay on the counter, reached over and pulled on the abacus in Chunniu's hand, and said, "Business is really good, I don't have time to look up when I patronize the cashier." ”

Chunniu glared at Su Jinyao, pushed away the account book and abacus in her hand, got up and walked around the counter, and pulled Su Jinyao closer in one hand.

A Ning's body moved, but was stopped by Su Jinyao's eyes. Su Jinyao took the initiative to hug Chunniu, and then said, "Are there any guys who can help you?" Let them keep an eye on the dots, and I'll talk to you. ”

Chunniu said repeatedly: "Yes, yes." I told someone to go. After saying that, Chun Niu ran to the back and shouted, and a woman who looked very neat walked out.

The woman still had a wall around her waist, as if she was washing something behind her. At this time, as I walked out, I wiped the water from my hands.

When she came to the front, the woman saw Su Jinyao, her eyes were obviously stunned for a moment, and then she called out in a low voice: "Master." ”

Su Jinyao had already recognized the woman when she came out, this was a person in Jinmei's shop. In other words, it's one of the spies, and it's estimated that he was sent here.

Su Jinyao has long said that all her business can accept these spies. Now it seems that this woman is doing a good job here, and she is deeply appreciated by Chunniu.

Chun Niu smiled and pulled the woman behind the counter and asked her to take the place of Mr. Bookkeeper first. Then he pulled Su Jinyao to the backyard.

The backyard of this inn is already at the foot of the mountain, and the row of brick houses does not look very conspicuous, at least it cannot be compared with the rooms upstairs and downstairs of the inn.

Chunniu explained: "In the restaurant over there in Quanqing Zhuxiang, there are almost twenty people, including men, handymen, and cooks. There are two miscellaneous people in the inn here, two mothers-in-law who specialize in washing and washing, and a cook, plus me and Siping are also seven people. The little 30 people here and outside can't run over mountains and mountains all day long. That's why they all live here. ”

After speaking, Chunniu pointed to the room on the far left and said, "Siping and I live in that room." Let's go over and talk, Sihei is in the house. ”

Siping in the house? It stands to reason that Siping is the most affectionate spring girl, and she is also very diligent, why didn't she help outside at this time, but she was in the house?

Su Jinyao felt strange, but she didn't ask in detail. Because it's just a few steps away, you can see Siping right away, and you will know the reason.

Then Su Jinyao looked Chun Niu up and down again. She could see that Chunniu still showed no signs of pregnancy, and of course she didn't have a child yet.

Because if Chun Niu has already given birth, whether it is Aunt Niu or Chun Niu herself, she should say it.

But Su Jinyao clearly remembered that she left a prescription for Chunniu after she left. It stands to reason that although there is no continuous follow-up, Chunniu's problem is not serious, how can she continue to be infertile?

Counting it up, Chunniu and Siping have been married for several years, so it's really abnormal.

But just after meeting, Su Jinyao didn't want to mention this matter. So I wondered if I was looking for an opportunity to diagnose Chunniu and Siping again, to see if it was a problem with the prescription, or if the situation of the two of them had changed again.

While thinking about it, Chun Niu had already led Su Jinyao to the door of her and Siping's house. The lights were already on in the house, but there was no one in sight.

Although she knew that Siping couldn't hear it, Chunniu still called out before pushing the door: "Siping, look who is coming?" You can't imagine it. ”

As she spoke, Chun Niu had already opened the door. However, she didn't let Su Jinyao into the house first, but she stepped in first.

Su Jinyao didn't want to follow in immediately, after all, this was a house for a small couple. If Siping was dressed casually in the house, it wouldn't be good for her to break in.

But just when Su Jinyao was waiting for Chun Niu to ask her to go in again, there was a sudden "bang" sound in the house, as if some porcelain had been broken.

Su Jinyao was stunned for a moment, and then looked into the house. As a result, Chun Niu was seen standing at the door leading to the inner room, with several broken pieces of porcelain in front of her feet, which looked like a cup.

"Chunniu, what's wrong, what's broken?" Su Jinyao frowned, feeling that Siping shouldn't be the one who lost his temper at Chunniu. So he asked, and walked in.

When Su Jinyao came behind Chunniu, she found that Chunniu's shoulders were trembling, and she could still hear her suppressed breathing, as if Chunniu's throat was choked.

Su Jinyao felt that it was very much like the voice before she was about to cry, but why did Chun Niu hold back crying?

How did Siping go crazy!

While full of doubts, Su Jinyao also looked into the back room. As a result, she couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw a man shrunk on the bed in the room, skinny, his eyes were glazed, and his neck was twisted in a strange posture, as if he was convulsing, and as if he was making an awkward grimace.

Judging from the outline of the person's facial features, there is no doubt that Siping, but looking at the skinny body, Su Jinyao couldn't believe that this was the original Siping who was good to Chunniu to the bones, and was diligent and capable.

"Chunniu, what's wrong with Siping? Is he sick? Su Jinyao's heart was also painful, and she roughly understood the reason why Chunniu moved out of the village and came to live here.

Chun Niu's shoulders shook even more, and tears flowed down her face.

But after Su Jinyao asked, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, rushed over and hugged Siping, who was shrinking in the corner of the bed, and muttered: "Siping, I'm a spring girl, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
