"Why is Grandpa standing here?"

Ruan Huai looked as usual, nothing unusual.

Except that the face is a little too pale.

Old Grandpa Chu obviously saw that the bamboo basket she was carrying behind her had not been moved, and was just about to go over to help her get it, but Ruan Huai unloaded it himself.

I happened to see that the old woman Chu also came out, so I explained truthfully to the second elder, "Someone from the disaster area in the city sent a coat over, and I didn't need this, so I came back." ”

Old Lady Chu was stunned for a moment and said, "That's right, that's okay, Ruan Ruan, you go into the house first, and my mother-in-law will pour you a bowl of ginger soup." ”

Ruan Huai said, "Thank you, mother-in-law," obediently entered the house, sat down by the fire, touched his cold cheeks, and leaned closer to the stove, for fear that he would freeze to death.

She opened her two frozen red hands and roasted the fire.

The firelight was bright, reflecting her wet eyelashes with a faint glow.

Ruan Huai half-lowered his eyes, unblinking, looking at the faint and jumping sparks between his fingers.

Until the old woman Chu came over with a bowl of ginger soup and called her.

Ruan Huai came back to his senses slightly, blinked his eyelashes, reached out and took the ginger soup brought by Old Lady Chu, held it in his hand, took a sip carefully, and finally felt a little warmer in his stomach.

"Frozen, huh?" Old Woman Chu took a clean handkerchief and sat down to help Ruan Huai wipe her hair.

Ruan Huai subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but his nose was a little sore, and after tossing and turning for a while, his voice made a soft "um".

She squatted in front of the fire, her toes together, curled herself up in a ball, and drank a sip or two of ginger soup before she had the strength to talk to Old Lady Chu.

Old Lady Chu could see that Ruan Huai had something on her mind, but if Ruan Huai didn't say it, she wouldn't force this girl to say it.

Fortunately, after drinking the ginger soup, Ruan Huai's spirit eased slightly, and he got up to help Old Lady Chu prepare dinner.

Ruan Huai told Granny Chu that she wanted to learn a few new dishes, and when she went back, she would have the opportunity to cook them for her mother.

Old Lady Chu smiled with relief when she heard this: "Ruan Ruan's mother is really blessed to give birth to such a sensible and beautiful girl." ”

Ruan Huai thought for a while before telling Old Lady Chu the truth, "I picked it up by my mother." ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Chu was stunned for a moment, and just about to say something, Ruan Huai added, "But my mother is very good to me, and she is as kind as her mother-in-law." ”

In order not to let Old Lady Chu think too much, Ruan Huai changed the topic again and told Old Woman Chu about something else.

Old Lady Chu could see that Ruan Huai didn't want to worry about what happened when she was a child, so naturally she didn't ask too much.

Maybe because of the rain, before it got dark that day, Gu Yutang and the others came back.

But this time Ruan Huai didn't run out to greet her as quickly as before, she went back to the room first, stood by the window, lowered her eyelashes, and looked out quietly from the half-open window, she watched the soldiers walk in one after another, and there was no Yi Yeye inside.

Old Lady Chu prepared hot water in advance and asked the soldiers to wash and change their clothes first. Gu Yutang didn't go, he just took off his wet robe and went into the house to roast the fire.

When Ruan Huai walked out of the house, he heard Old Lady Chu chatting with Gu Yutang.

Ruan Huai stood behind the cabinet door, glanced at the stove, and saw Gu Yutang drinking a bowl of ginger soup in his hand.

I don't know what they were talking about in front of them, but Old Lady Chu suddenly smiled and asked Gu Yutang, "Does the young general have a favorite girl?" ”

Gu Yutang sat in front of the fire, the warm yellow light could not melt his cold and stern face, his expression was cold, when he heard the words of Old Lady Chu, he thought of something, and thought that Old Lady Chu was going to introduce him to the girl, so he said, "There is." ”

Old Lady Chu asked without thinking about it: "Yes...... Nguyen Nguyen? ”

"It's not." Gu Yutang's answer was ridiculously fast, and his voice was cold, for fear that he would be suspicious of Old Woman Chu after a moment of stagnation.

Through the dim and warm light and mist of the stove, Ruan Huai looked at Gu Yutang's thin and good-looking lips seriously, and said the words cold and no temperature.

Then, calmly pulling her eyelashes, she turned back into the house.
