Xie Baolin and Xie Jingze did not return to Qingshan Village under the escort of Chai Gui until the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

When he came, Xie Jingyi was wearing a blue and homespun cloth jacket, wrapping his head in cloth, and rode a donkey around the village with Xie Jingyin and Xie Xiaohua.

The whole village was filled with the smell of lard, and it did not disperse until the vigil.

The fire in the house was warm, and the family sat around a few pots of fire according to their generation, eating fried peas, and chatting all over the world.

Xie Jingyi moved his small stool and quietly squeezed to Uncle Xie's side, "Uncle Uncle, I always feel that my grandfather is different from ordinary croppers, he has seen the world, or you can tell me the story of Grandpa." ”

Uncle Xie scratched his head honestly, picked up the teacup and took a sip, although the family is better now, but he is still reluctant, and he always drinks the old tea fried by himself.

"Where have we seen any big world, we count the generations of our ancestors, and they are all native-born farmers. Your grandfather, he doesn't like to talk about the ancients, and I don't know about his past. However, I vaguely remember that when I was six or seven years old, the annual harvest was not good, and the old people in the village were worried that some families would not survive the next year's harvest. ”

So they all ran out to find some small jobs to do. At that time, your grandfather, followed a dart master surnamed Huang, and walked a water dart together. It is said to be a water dart, but in fact, it is a boatman. Our Hangzhou brocade silk tea and other things are very outstanding, and the merchant ships that come and go every day are everywhere. ”

"If the year is not good, there will be more bandits, so I want to recruit some extra people to protect the boat. But your grandfather is lucky, he went out a few times, but he didn't meet a water bandit. The farthest time, I also went to the capital! ”

"I remember it clearly, when your grandpa came back, he also brought a pair of jade bracelets to grandma, which made your grandma very happy at that time!"

Xie Jingyi listened with relish, "In this way, darts can be compared to farming to make money." What about the jade bracelet? ”

Xie Baolin slapped Xie Jingyi's head, "The dart is a life-saving fight, can it be the same?" Speaking of this, I feel sorry, the jade bracelet was supposed to be passed on to my sister-in-law, but it was all pawned for me to go to school. I'm really sorry for my sister-in-law. ”

When the eldest aunt heard this, she smiled, "Don't talk about it, it's all a family, what's there to be sorry for, besides, my brother and sister have given me enough things." How many children in the family, which one of them is wearing it, and you didn't give it away. ”

Xie Jingyi saw that the topic had gone astray, and hurriedly asked, "How old was my father at that time!" Haha, aren't you waiting for grandpa to bring back candy to eat! ”

Uncle Xie was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "Your father didn't come to our house at that time." Ah, speaking of which, that year, when your grandfather came back, he passed by the woods on the green hills, found your father, and brought him back, so he married a name called Baolin. ”

"At that time, there were still rumors in the village, saying that it was your grandfather, and when he was walking the dart, he ...... with others" Uncle Xie was halfway through speaking, and was twisted by the eldest aunt, "In front of the children, what are you talking nonsense!" ”

Uncle Xie scratched his head embarrassedly and kept silent.

Xie Jingyi was anxious, oops, uncle, you say, I'm an old mother, I haven't heard of anything, you say!

"Anyway, your dad was still drinking milk at that time, what kind of candy did he eat!"

Xie Baolin also laughed, and stuffed a fruit for Xie Jingyi, "Go and go, Sannan is playing, I am talking about the crops with your uncle, and you are making trouble here." ”

As he spoke, he squeezed Xie Jingyi out.

Xie Jingyi touched his chin, but he didn't force it, so as not to make them suspicious, pretending to pour water, and walked towards the window.

Although Uncle Xie didn't say much, she was able to guess some clues.

She used to think that Xie Baolin was abducted by a kidnapper, and then brought to Hangzhou, and for various reasons, he was picked up by the Xie family's grandfather, but now that she thinks about it, this is not the case.

Eighty percent was when the grandfather of the Xie family went to the capital to dart, and was involved in a key event in the Yongping Marquis Mansion.

Although walking darts earn more than farming, but the more or less is also related to whether or not you meet water bandits, Grandpa Xie's trip was very safe, how could he earn a pair of jade bracelets after walking, and he was able to raise an extra milk doll in a disaster year.

Then, it can be inferred that someone took Xie Baolin to him and gave him a certain reward. This also explains why the Marquis of Yongping was able to find Hangzhou so quickly and accurately when the Wen family came to the door and needed Xie Jingxian to replace the relatives.

Her previous guess was not wrong, the Yongping Marquis Mansion was not a long-term search at all, but always knew where they were.

But Xie Baolin is just a concubine of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, there is not much more than him, and there is a lot less than him, why can't he tolerate him?

Speaking of which, he is not the only concubine in the Yongping Marquis Mansion, his biological mother Du is also an ordinary concubine, speaking of which, he is not special.

Xie Jingyi thought for a while, but she didn't have any clue, she stretched out her hand and patted her face, all of this will slowly come to know when she returns to the capital, she can't be in a hurry, she can't be in a hurry. At the moment, it is important to get rich and get promoted.

"Sannan, what kind of wind are you standing here blowing, and you don't feel cold? Hurry up and sit down next to the brazier, and Sister will peel peas for you to eat. ”

Xie Jingyi turned her head and saw Xie Jingxian with a worried face, she smiled obediently, "Okay, sister, then you have to peel more for me, I don't want to eat peas, I want to eat chestnuts." ”

Xie Jingxian nodded, glanced at Xie Jingyi's feet, and said in a low voice, "I won't tell others about that." ”

Xie Jingyi was stunned for a moment, and said "um" softly.

Xie Jingxian smiled embarrassedly, "After the New Year, I will ask A-Niang to invite us a powerful parenting grandmother, not only Jingyin, but I will also learn together." ”

Xie Jingyi was still in a trance, Xie Jingxian had already grabbed her hand and pulled her to the brazier.

Xie Jingyin's mouth was stuffed with chestnuts, and when he saw Xie Jingyi coming, he patted the scum on his hand, and said with a smug smile, "Haha, Xie Sannan, I can't tell you to come, I'll eat all the chestnuts!" ”

Xie Jingyi took a look, good guy, the plates were all gnawed empty by her, and hurriedly pounced, "Give me back my share!" ”

Xie Jingyin chewed desperately, "Why do you still eat it when you spit it out?" ”

"Disgusting to death! gave birth to a good-looking face, why is it so disgusting to speak! ”

Xie Jingyin laughed, and didn't know where to take out a handful of peeled chestnuts, "Here you go, the New Year's money, next year, it will be like the fried chestnuts, and you will be happy all day long." ”

"Oh, what are you doing in a daze, you take it quickly, otherwise my sister, I can't help it, I'm afraid I'm going to stuff it into my mouth!"
