With so many younger brothers, and a very heavy concept of master and servant, their father must have a prominent family background. Xiaobai remembered that Eighteen had said that their father sold the rest of the children, and ended up separating his wife, which must have been the end of the family.

"Or do business?" Xiaobai asked cautiously, but the children didn't speak, Xiaobai sighed slightly and said: "Go back first, it's my fault, I shouldn't ask you, make you sad, I'll make a table of delicious food tonight, okay?" ”

Eighteen looked up and said, "We're not sad, we just don't know how to tell my sister." He glanced at Xiaohe and smiled, "You said yes, Xiaohe?" Xiaohe nodded and did not speak.

Since he didn't want to say it, Xiaobai naturally didn't force it, so he took them to continue to buy things on this street, buying less at each stall, and after a trip, he also bought a lot, a large piece of tofu, a few handfuls of fresh vegetables, a dozen salted duck eggs, a small bag of sweet potatoes, and some radishes and half a duck.

After returning to Boholdo, Xiaobai began to cook dinner, after all the carp he bought was cleaned up, half of it was braised in oil, half of it was stewed in dried vegetable sauce, and after a while, the whole yard was full of aroma.

For those small crucian carp, Xiaobai took half of it and fried it in a pot, then cut the tofu and stewed it in soup, and marinated the remaining half with condiments, and then hung it up to dry tomorrow.

The medicine boy hung a piece of bacon on the beam, but he usually didn't make it himself, Xiaobai took it off, cut a large plate, fried it with those green vegetables, and mixed the remaining green vegetables in a separate pot, afraid that it was not fragrant enough, and took some sesame peanut butter and poured it on it.

You don't have to make duck eggs, you can cut them directly and serve them, and the half of the duck is also steamed.

However, those sweet potatoes used Xiaobai's effort, sweet potato glutinous rice cakes, shredded sweet potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, sweet potato steamed buns, sweet potato balls, and sweet potato cakes. As they were placed on the table, the eyes of several children widened.

In the end, Xiaobai made some sweet and sour diced radish and radish shredded cake with radish, and when he went out with rice, in the yard, Dr. Nan, the medicine boy, and a few children were already waiting.

"My sister's cooking is so delicious!" Eighteen swallowed his saliva, but he didn't move his chopsticks.

Xiaohe looked at Eighteen, and then at Fifteen and Seventeen, who were also staring at those dishes and swallowing saliva, with a complicated expression, and said softly: "There is a lot of water in the sky, and it is not easy to know the same." ”

Xiaobai didn't hear it, but Dr. Nan on the side heard it, he frowned slightly, got up and went to the pharmacy. "Doctor Nan! Time to eat! Where are you going? ”

"I hear movement ahead, go take a look."

Who can come and see the disease now? Anyway, the deaf and clear-eyed Xiaobai didn't hear anything.

"Wait a minute." The medicine boy glanced at Xiaobai, as if he decided that Dr. Nan must have heard correctly.

Xiaobai sat down, added rice to a few bowls, and said with a smile: "This pearl rice has been left for a few days, right?" What do you two eat when you two don't usually fire? ”

"Naturally, someone put the meal in front of us."

Xiaobai smiled: "What if no one comes to Dr. Nan to see the disease?" ”

"Isn't there still you?"

"Come on! I don't come every day. ”

"Tomorrow, Dr. Nan will go to the Zhao family in the north to see the old lady of their family, and when they come back, we will not accept the things they send, those rich families have the best face, even if the medical fee is high, the thank you gifts are surprisingly much, and those food boxes are brought back, enough for us to eat for three or five days."

"What if there were four more of them?"

The medicine boy frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Miss Bai wants the four children to go to Taixue, right?"

Several people at the dinner table turned around, but it was Mei Fuzi who came.

Xiaobai hurriedly got up and saluted, looked at Doctor Nan in some surprise, and said to Mei Fuzi: "I haven't said it yet, how did Mei Fuzi guess?" ”

"What the old man just said." Mei Fuzi was unceremoniously, sat down next to Dr. Nan, and said angrily: "

Xiaobai looked at Dr. Nan again, and her gratitude came spontaneously, but she looked at Mei Fuzi again, and said suspiciously: "Doctor Nan knows that Mei Fuzi is coming?" ”

Mei Fuzi looked up at her, "Didn't you call me here?" ”

But didn't you say you didn't have to? Xiaobai didn't know how to talk, and besides, Dr. Nan's ears were too good.

"Let's move the chopsticks!" Dr. Nan smiled and asked everyone to eat.

The dinner table was surprisingly quiet, and there was not even the sound of chopsticks touching the dishes, just a few adults, but the eighteen children could have such rules, which was really impressive.

"What's your name?" Mei Fuzi put down her chopsticks and picked up the teacup on the side.

Xiaohe put the dishes and chopsticks in order, swallowed the food in his mouth, got up and said, "My name is Xiaohe, and this is my three younger brothers, fifteen, seventeen, and eighteen. ”

"I'm asking for my real name, if you want to go to Taixue to study, I must know your name and origin."

Xiaohe was a little confused, and he said softly, "We don't have names. ”

"Hugh is going to lie." Mei Fuzi put down the teacup.

"He wasn't lying." Eighteen also stood up, followed by fifteen and seventeen. "We don't really have names, there are so many children from my father, and he doesn't care about that at all."

Mei Fuzi looked away from Eighteen and asked softly, "Then what does he care about?" Is he alive? ”

Xiaohe said: "The master has probably heard those stories, first of all, a century-old family, glory and wealth, one in a hundred, and a full house of children and grandchildren, none of them are not angry, but later, people's hearts are scattered, a good game of chess falls apart, interests are consumed, intrigue, human life is like a mustard, and children are used as bargaining chips, there is not a day that is not struggling in the whirlpool, as a result, some people break free and become new masters, some people sink to the bottom of the sea, and end up with no bones, but a few of us are scum who are not even bones. Whether my father is alive or dead doesn't mean anything to us, and he cares the same. ”

"I'm not interested in the affairs of the house, but you should have a surname."

"We don't want to say it, and we don't want to use it."

Mei Fuzi sneered, lost his patience, and said coldly: "Parents of the living body, don't you want or don't need it?" ”

Xiaobai hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Let them have my surname." ”

But this sentence did not ease the atmosphere of stalemate, but made several children more silent, Mei Fuzi glanced at Xiaobai, and sneered: "Lin? Or white? I don't know which one the white girl can look at? This sentence made Xiaobai's face red instantly, why is this Mei Fuzi talking so mean?

"What do you think of my last name?" Doctor Nan smiled and motioned to the medicine boy to pour tea for Mei Fuzi.

Mei Fuzi snorted coldly: "You forced me in, just to let me accept these children who have no name or surname, and don't even want to be honest and straightforward about their origins to go to Taixue?" What are you afraid of? I'm afraid that this white girl will go to President Lin to sue you, and you won't have any special treatment in Baohetang? ”

"What do you mean? What happened to Bohol Hall? Xiaobai was a little stunned.

Even if Dr. Nan wanted to block it, it was too late, Mei Fuzi blurted out the words in his heart: "All the shops in Huicheng have increased the tax of one percent, but Baohetang is an exception, I still wonder if Dr. Nan really hid something for the Lin Mansion, now I can see it, it's actually because of you." ”

"Me?" Xiaobai looked at Dr. Nan, not knowing why.

The medicine boy covered half of his face, closed his eyes, and didn't dare to look at the oppressive atmosphere at the table. A few children too, their faces full of inexplicability.

"You have two white eyes? Mei Zhixin, I respect you for being a scholar, don't talk nonsense! Dr. Nan gave him a blank look, but he was not angry.

Xiaobai didn't know what those well-intentioned people in Huicheng had arranged for her, but she was sure of one thing, in the afternoon, Mei Zhixin took action to solve the siege, and it was not her siege that was solved, but the fish seller! He was afraid that once the fish seller got into trouble with the county government, Lin Wenhai would definitely think that he had been bullied and punished severely, so he asked the fish seller to stop it quickly!

"If you want these children to go to Taixue, you can, but you have to promise me one condition." Mei Zhixin picked up the rice bowl again and ate slowly.

The people at the table looked at Xiaobai one after another, but at this moment Xiaobai only had one thought, who could tell her what happened!
