In the kitchen, a middle-aged woman dressed in gray clothes was revolving around the stove, her hands were covered with flour, and she spread the rolled bread into the pot, and a pot of washed vegetables was placed next to it.

Her expression was peaceful, and she knew at a glance that she was a qualified mother, and when she saw the two children, she said gently: "Mingming, Liangliang, my mother made delicious cakes for you, hurry up and wash your hands and eat." ”

"Mother, there is a couple of men and women outside, and they want to beg for us to drink." The two children raised the silver in their hands and described what had just happened.

After hearing this, the woman's expression became serious, and she pulled the two children into the house, and whispered: "These two people must be the bad people that Mu Hibiscus said, you didn't talk nonsense just now, right?" ”

"No, we didn't say that Sister Hibiscus and Brother Zhihe were hiding in our house."

"That's good, remember not to go out for the past two days, and stay at home obediently."

"Mother, they don't look like bad people, they don't look fierce at all, and that brother is very good-looking."

"Bad people will deceive children, so my mother will go out and bring them water, you must not come out."

The woman wiped her hands clean, took out the tea leaves and made a pot of tea.

"Mother, are you going to poison the bad guys?"

"What nonsense? The bad guys are only punished by heaven, and the mother just goes out to bring them tea to drink, otherwise they won't leave. "Auntie walked out the door.

Seeing her Yuan Yuguo stunned for a long time, this kind woman looked a little like her mother, and the way she held the teapot looked like her mother.

"Xianggong, what's wrong with you?" Pucao whispered.

"See, your mother-in-law looks like this."

"I can't imagine that my mother-in-law is so good-looking? No wonder you can give birth to such a beautiful son! ”

"Two guests, sit down and have a cup of tea." The aunt placed the teapot on the stone table and poured two cups of steaming tea.

"Auntie, thank you for your tea." Pu Cao happily picked up the teacup, looking at her as if she was looking at her mother-in-law.

"Auntie, we're here to find someone, have you seen these two people?" Yuan Yuguo unfolds the portrait.

"I haven't seen it." The aunt quickly glanced at the portrait from the corner of her eye and replied very indifferently.

"Oh! How many people are in Auntie's family? ”

"The two children and I, the father of the children, went out to do business and was away from home all the year round. Drink slowly, I'm going to cook. The aunt turned and left.

"Auntie, can you continue to bother you, let's go in and eat something, we haven't eaten for a day." Yuan Yuguo took out a silver ingot, which was enough to eat for a month.

"Auntie, you are the most kind and amiable person we have ever met, my husband and I really haven't eaten for a day, you can do it, give us a bite to eat." Pucao looked at her pleadingly, pretending to be extremely hungry.

"It's just me and my two children at home, and I haven't let outsiders in yet, I'm afraid it will be ......inconvenient," the aunt hesitated.

"Auntie, don't worry, we're not bad people. We come from far away just to find friends, and we leave when we're done eating. ”

"I'm afraid that the cold house will have coarse tea and light rice, and I won't be able to enter the mouths of the two."

"It's okay aunt, I really want to eat coarse grains now, I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, anyway, the coarser the grains, the more I like to eat." Pu Cao's face showed a smile.

"Alright then, you come with me." The aunt couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she had to lead the way in front.

Yuan Yuguo and Pucao quickly followed her into the door, and there were some flowers and plants planted in the yard, which were neatly cared for, and it could be seen that the aunt was a diligent and understanding of life.

The house is really a humble house, just two simple tables and a few chairs, and there is a portrait of Guanyin Bodhisattva hanging on the main door, which should be the belief of the aunt's family.

"Two guests, sit here for a while, and I'll cook." The aunt raised her voice loudly, as if she was deliberately speaking to someone, and then winked at the two children, motioning for them to look at the two strangers.

"What do you see, it's not your real mother-in-law?"

"Hey...... I was addicted to my mother-in-law on my aunt. ”

Looking at the three suites in the house, Yuan Yuguo began to speculate that one was for children to sleep, one for couples to sleep, and one for sundries.

"Little brother, little sister, are you still sleeping with your mother when you are so old?"

"This is the room where my mother and I live, and this is the room where my brother and my father sleep." The little girl immediately tilted her little head and said.

"And who's going to sleep in this room?" Yuan Yuguo asked, pointing to the innermost one.

"Sister Hibiscus...... No one sleeps, just utility rooms. The girl hurriedly changed her words.

Looking at the pile of sundries on the ground, which were obviously moved out of the utility room, Yuan Yuguo immediately had a countermeasure, and said with a smile: "Oh! It turned out to be a utility room! We're idle now, so let's clean up the room for you and move these sundries to the utility room, so as to reduce the burden on your mother. ”

"No need brother, my mother doesn't like others to mention her to work."

"It's okay, we can't eat for nothing at your house, so you can let my brother do some work." Saying that, Yuan Yuguo went to pick up the debris on the ground.

"Dinner is coming!" The woman walked in with steaming food.

Pu Cao hurriedly helped her get food, but she didn't expect that the items were particularly complete, including golden oil cakes, corn flour cakes, baked sweet potatoes, white rice porridge, a few plates of pickles, and a pot of stewed New Year's cabbage, crispy meatballs and cabbage.

"Two guests, it's just a matter of time, and that's all there is to the farmhouse courtyard."

"It's good, auntie, we like it."

The two of them picked up the bowl and started eating, they were used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas in the palace, and when they ate coarse grains, they felt that they had a different flavor.

Yuan Yuguo's eyes kept glancing at the room inside, and with his keen breath, he felt that there must be someone inside, the owner of the locked door!

"Auntie, do you know when the neighbor next door will come back?"

Seeing that the expression between the aunt's eyebrows changed slightly, Pu Cao hurriedly said: "That's the case, we ate their dates and wanted to give them the silver." ”

"They went to the city to do business, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back for a while."

"Oh! So when did they leave? ”

"It's been a month."

This proves that the aunt is lying, and the door lock has long been dusted in a month.

"We were full, this meal was delicious, thank you Auntie." Yuan Yuguo and Pucao got up to say goodbye.

"You won't need so much silver for a meal, so let's take the silver back to the two guests." And the aunt gave them back the ingots.

"Auntie, keep the money for the two children to study, if you want to get ahead, you must let the children study hard."

"Thank you, both guests."

Looking at their backs, the aunt's expression was complicated, as if she was distinguishing what the distance between the good guys and the bad guys was?
