The clown girl had a long, long dream.

She first dreamed that she was being chased by her fierce brother with a stick in the back. While chasing, he said viciously that if he caught up, he would break her legs.

Although it was in a dream, his hideous expression made her tremble constantly.

Then, as soon as her dream changed, she dreamed that an unknown beast was chasing her, baring its hideous fangs and trying to eat her. She ran with all her might, but accidentally fell into a cave.

The cave was full of poisonous snakes, spitting letters and slowly approaching her.

She felt that this was the end of her, and that she was about to die in the belly of the viper. Just in the midst of despair, a warm hand reached out to her, and a kind face approached her.

This is the warmth she has dreamed of for so many years.

So, regardless of whether the other party was a bad person or not, she tried to get closer. Even if it is, this moment of warmth is enough. So, she felt the warmth and the gentle caress of a mother.

Gradually, her body, which was gradually cold from hunger, warmed up, and she slept with satisfaction and peace of mind.

Suddenly, it seemed to be raining, and there was a feeling of raindrops sliding down my face. She didn't want to leave the dream, but she didn't want to get wet. So, she slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a warm embrace, a feeling she hadn't felt since she could remember.

Or, even in her memory, she had never felt it that way.

So, she tried to open her eyes, to see if she was dreaming. As a result, as soon as she opened her eyes, she found that she was not dreaming, but was really lying in the arms of an aunt.

Seeing that she opened her eyes, Zhu Shi hurriedly stopped her tears. Seeing that the child's eyes were wide open and looking at him with some fear, Zhu tried to give her a smile. Since his son was lost, Zhu rarely laughed anymore.

Even, she doubted that she would never smile again in her life.

Xue Laohan felt that he couldn't stand such a picture, and he might cry if he looked at it again. So he hurriedly handed over the water he had fetched to cover up his gaffe.

The clown girl hadn't drunk water for a whole day, and when she saw that there was water to drink, she put on another hand and drank it in a big gulp. The little body, sore and weak because of the attack of hunger, is activated by this water at the moment. Then, Zhu Shi gritted his teeth and gave her the remaining half of the roasted potatoes that he had obtained in the afternoon.

After taking the potato, the clown girl's eyes were full of longing, and her Adam's apple turned up and down. Seeing Zhu's encouraging eyes again, he devoured it and swallowed it in a few bites.

After drinking the water and eating the potatoes, Zhu Shi dipped the cloth towel he used to wash his face in water and gently wiped her face.

The clown girl sat in Zhu's arms like that, letting her wipe her face. Although she didn't know each other, her intuition told her that the two people in front of her were good people.

Zhu Shi sighed while wiping her face, perhaps because of malnutrition, this child's face has no flesh at all, and even his cheeks are shriveled. In this way, the eyes are especially large.

He was wearing a shabby patched shirt, skinny skin. When Zhu Shi hugged her, he felt a little clacking.

I don't know whose child is so thin and weak.

When the face is wiped clean, the clown girl's whole face becomes three-dimensional, although it is still black and thin, but it is better than the eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and you can see that it is a girl at a glance.

Seeing that the clown girl had spirits, Zhu asked, "Child, why are you in a mass grave?" ”

Hearing this, the clown girl said with some sadness: "I haven't eaten all day, and I fainted while walking." Maybe the good Samaritans passing by thought I was starving to death, so they left me here......"

"It seems that this child is wandering", Xue Laohan said in his heart, so he asked: "What about the adults in your family, where are they?" Are you separated? ”

"I don't know where my biological parents are, I was abducted and sold by Hanako." Every time Zhu and Xue Laohan asked a question, the clown girl's head lowered more and more, "Originally, I had been living in a family, surnamed Ma, I thought they were my biological parents, so even if they were beaten and scolded by them, I couldn't help it." But ......"

"However, since last year, my friends in the village have started to laugh at me, saying that I was abducted by a kidnapper and bought by this family to be a child daughter-in-law. My brother is more than ten years old, and he is idle all day long, even in the middle of the night, he has to ask me to pour water for him to drink, and he will beat and scold him if he is not satisfied. The last time he actually did something to me, I gritted my teeth and escaped while they weren't looking. Walk all the way to ask for food, often hungry for a day. But I don't regret it, although such days are bitter, they are better than being beaten and scolded every day. ”

The clown girl said while listening to Zhu Shi and shed tears, what an old child, but he has already suffered the most cruel treatment in the world.

When I heard the word "abduction", the tears were like a flood of bursting embankments. Over the years, the sadness accumulated in her heart seems to have finally found an outlet. From silent tears at the beginning, it turned into a howling cry at the moment.

This cry, in the middle of the night in the wilderness, is even more desolate.

The clown girl didn't know that Zhu's son was also abducted by Hanako, so when she saw Zhu's howling and crying, she was very puzzled, after all, she didn't cry.

Who knows, when Xue Laohan saw Zhu crying, he couldn't help but cry. At this moment, he and Zhu are thinking about the same question, that is, will their son also be like the clown girl, who was sold to someone else's house to work as a coolie, skinny and skinny, not only unable to eat, but also beaten and scolded by the court......

The ugly girl saw that the two adults were sad, and she also recalled some sad things in the past for a while, and couldn't help crying.

All three of them wept bitterly.

After a long time, the tears of the Zhu couple finally stopped. Zhu Shiyin asked, "Child, how old are you this year?" What is your name? ”

"I don't know what I used to call me, but the family called me Clown. I should be ten years old and born in May. They said that in three years, when I was thirteen, I would have a house with my brother. ”

The clown girl answered Zhu's question clearly.

Hearing that the clown girl is ten years old this year, she is the same size as her son, and the Zhu couple look at the clown sister more and more differently. This poor child has the same fate as his own son.

Since she was met by herself, she is pitiful, and she is desperate to be good to her for the rest of her life.

In the years to come, it can be testified that the Zhu couple did not break their promise. They treat the clown girl as their own and do their best to raise her.

Therefore, even if Clown Girl finally succeeded in finding a home and finding her biological parents, she never forgot this couple who regarded themselves as their own.

Before getting married, she took out all her savings to build a sturdy and beautiful house for the couple, and walked back and forth between her biological parents and Xue Laohan and his wife all her life, filial piety to the four old people.

After thinking about it, as if he had made a lot of determination, Zhu Shi took the clown girl's hand and said, "Our son was also abducted by Hanako, he is as old as you this year, and he is also ten years old." But he was born in March, so he's older than you. Since I can meet you in the mass grave, it is also fate. In this case, if you don't dislike it, you can call me godmother or concubine. This is your Uncle Xue, you call your godfather also Cheng. From now on, you can follow us. ”

Xue Laohan did not object, this kind of thing only needs to be happy with the Zhu family.

A few years ago, the eldest brother and sister-in-law also persuaded them to adopt a child, but unfortunately Zhu resolutely disagreed, saying that her heart and her love only belonged to her lost son.

Now, the Zhu family offered to take care of the clown sister, and Xue Laohan naturally had no opinion. A little sustenance, maybe Zhu can be a little happier.

The clown sister was naturally willing, and she also understood why the Zhu couple cried so miserably just now. She solemnly kowtowed to the Zhu couple and the couple, and then got up and called "godfather" and "godmother", which made Zhu and Xue Laohan burst into tears.

The next day, at dawn, the couple dragged the ugly sister all the way forward, while inquiring about their son's news.

In a flash, a month passed.

Compared to Qingshui Town, the losses suffered by Chenjia Village are simply not worth mentioning. After a few days of tidying up, the villagers were able to return to their normal lives.

On 1 June, Chen Jixing and Ye went to Yamen again to inquire about the news. This time, Ye Feng also followed. The officials were cold-faced and indifferent throughout the whole process, which made Ye Feng very dissatisfied.

How is it possible to find a lost child by sitting every day instead of solving the case? With their work efficiency, I don't know how many people will complain about it in modern times.

It seems that the idea in his heart must be implemented. Still, making money comes first.

Only with money can these things be carried out smoothly.

Then Ye went to the Salesian Bureau in the city, which is the modern equivalent of an orphanage. After thinking about it, Ye took out ten taels of silver and donated it to improve the lives of these orphans.

Ye Feng felt that donating money directly in this way might not necessarily help these orphans, after all, there was no supervision over how these managers used the money. However, he didn't have a better way.

What's more, if you do this, Ye will be a little happier.

After returning from the Salesian Bureau, the couple was depressed for two days. But after that, Chen Jixing's family was still happily busy, and everything was so smooth.

During this period, Yaya Township Kitchen also received two orders. A birthday banquet, a wedding banquet, it is all inclusive. Cooking on a hot day is indeed a bit hard, and there is no fan to blow the wind, and everyone is busy and sweating.

Especially Zhao and Ye, they need to cook the most dishes, and they are dizzy by the heat and the taste of the dishes.

In fact, the hard money earned from cooking is definitely not as easy as others think.

But everyone didn't mind, after all, the hard work was rewarded. Especially Ye Ermei, she really exercised out, not only began to help stir-fry, but even put on the plate.

Chen Qianshan saw it in his eyes, admiring him more and more, and thinking about when to mention it to the other party. Because he felt that Ye Ermei knew his thoughts, and when he stared at her in a daze several times, he saw her blushing, but he didn't mean to be disgusted.

He was really annoyed to death by the matchmaker who came to the door to propose marriage.

The better the business of the Duck Duck Kitchen, the more frequent the matchmaker will come to the door. Fortunately, the Liu family no longer cares about him, because according to the current situation, Chen Qianshan has become a sought-after commodity in ten miles and eight towns.

I have to say that Chen Qianshan does have this potential. People are diligent, handsome, and have a craft. The key is to have your own way of dealing with people, which is perfect in the eyes of many people.

The largest pot of pomegranates that Ye Feng gave to Ye Shi had already taken shape after several prunings.

The trunk of the pomegranate tree was about half a meter high, and at first one section grew parallel to the ground; When it reaches a height of about 20 centimeters, it slowly points straight to the sky at an angle of 45 to 90 degrees. The green leaves are full of life.

What made Ye Feng very happy was that if you looked carefully at the leaves, you would definitely find that there were already dozens of very small flower bones.

It's no wonder that it's mid-May, and that's probably when the pomegranates bloom.

Second Sister Ye saw pomegranate flowers for the first time, and she was also happy. It is estimated that this is also fate, because there are so many flowers in the backyard, she likes this pomegranate potted plant alone.

Ye Feng thought about it, anyway, there were so many pots at home, so he gave her one and told her the precautions for raising flowers.

Unexpectedly, he sent more than just a pot of flowers.

Surprises, huge surprises, and still to come.

As for peanuts, they are also growing well.

Originally, it was planted for the first time, and after the land was leveled, it was sprinkled with plant ash and dung, so the soil was very fertile. At this moment, it has grown to more than 20 centimeters.

Now, Ye Feng was a little worried about whether this land was too fertile for these peanuts. After all, if you continue to grow like this, the peanut seedlings will be tall and green, but the nutrients will basically accumulate on the seedlings.

As for the peanuts in the ground, the number will naturally decrease accordingly, or the particles will be very small.

However, it turned out that Ye Feng's worries were unnecessary, these peanuts from the Western Regions seemed to be particularly suitable for the soil here in Chenjia Village, and the same seeds grew better in Chenjia Village than in other places.

However, there is no way to measure soil quality and trace elements in this time and space, so there is no way to artificially deploy these soil qualities in Chenjia Village in other places to achieve the purpose of increasing yield.

Half a month later, at the beginning of June, these peanut seedlings no longer continue to grow taller, but quietly emerge pale yellow buds. These small buds carry all the hopes of Ye Feng.

In addition to being happy, Ye Feng was also glad again, fortunately, peanuts belong to leguminous crops, which bloom and pollinate by themselves, and can bloom and bear fruit without the help of insects or wind pollination.

If you really need to be pollinated by bees or other insects, or by hand, this is a real problem. After all, Ye Feng had been in this time and space for so long, and he had never seen bees.

As if they had discussed, the peanuts had just bloomed, and all the pots of pomegranates at home had bloomed.

These flowers are the ones Ye Feng had seen in his previous life, warm and red, like small trumpets, one after the other, dotted between the tender green leaves.

After a while, small pomegranate fruits appeared. After a few more days, the pomegranate blossoms slowly faded, and only the pomegranate the size of a pigeon's egg remained.

Early in the morning, I don't know where a few magpies flew in, stopped on the roof of Ye's house and didn't leave, and kept screaming, so lively.

At this time, the family was drinking water and chatting in the hall.

It's late June, and the sun is not warm at about 10 o'clock in the morning, and the outside is like an oven.

Ye said: "This magpie is also pleasing to people, it has been chirping for half an hour, is it possible that there is something happy in our family?" ”

Chen Jixing was stunned, and he couldn't believe it. To say that this family has not been called by a magpie since they moved here. Is it really a happy event?

Ye Feng said directly: "The pomegranate has also blossomed and borne fruit, I have long said that the ancients believed that the pomegranate would bring blessings to the family." According to me, maybe we're going to add a new piece to our family soon? ”

These words had a shocking effect, and Ye and Chen Jixing were stunned and stopped talking. However, Chen Jixing stared at Ye's stomach meaningfully for a long time.

At this time, Qianyan came in with a bunch of wild fruits, and shouted "It's so sour" while eating. ”

This wild fruit is called cow**, oval in shape, about the size of two grains of rice, without any taste, that is, sour. The family doesn't like to eat, so Qianyan will go to the mountains to pick some back as snacks.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shi was unusual, and beckoned to Qianyan: "Take it, I suddenly want to eat it too." As he spoke, he ripped off more than a dozen grains, threw them into his mouth and chewed them, looking at Ye Feng and Chen Jixing, they wanted to drool.

These more than ten grains are put into the mouth together, and they are not sore.

Unexpectedly, the more Ye ate it, the more addicted he became, not only was he not sour, but he also asked Chen Jixing to take Qianyan to the mountains to pick some back. Ye Feng felt funny, so he said to Chen Jixing: "Brother-in-law, I don't think you have to go to the mountain, it's better to ask Dr. Mao to come over and check my sister's pulse." ”

Hearing this, Chen Jixing lost his mind for a moment and almost knocked over the teacup in his hand. It can be seen that he is very nervous.

Hearing Ye Feng say this, and seeing Chen Jixing like this, Ye Shi hurriedly said: "I just want to eat a little sour by chance, and you guys are like this." If not, it would be a disgrace. ”

But the complexion, she cares more than anyone else in her heart. Both expectant and afraid.

After a while, no matter how Ye refused, Chen Jixing said almost stubbornly: "What are you afraid of, even if you don't have it, just check your body, and I'll go." ”

After speaking, a puff of smoke disappeared.

was a thousand words, and was confused by the conversation of several people, because he asked: "Mother, uncle, what are you talking about?" ”

The Ye family was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer, but Ye Feng said generously to Qianyan: "Maybe, I mean maybe, you will have a little brother or little sister soon." ”

"Ah, really, where? Why didn't I see it? ”

Accustomed to seeing other people have brothers and sisters at home, but not himself, Qianyan has long been envious. So as soon as Ye Feng said it, she was very happy and looking forward to it.

It's just that I ran around the rooms and looked around, but I didn't find it.

Seeing this, this time Ye Feng was embarrassed, and Ye laughed.

Dr. Mao is now very willing to come to Chen Jixing's house, because he feels that although Chen Jixing's house looks no different from before, it is still a thatched house with mud walls, but it feels very different.

For example, that peppermint tea is quite comfortable to drink.

He had seen this kind of grass before, but he didn't know that it was originally called mint, and listening to Ye Feng's meaning, it could also be used for human medicine. Ye Feng had also carefully taught him the so-called emergency method before, which opened his eyes. After his spread, now, the rural doctors in the ten miles and eight towns can be regarded as mastering this technique.

In addition, he found that every time he chatted with Ye Feng, he could learn a new herb. It's a great learning opportunity.

Therefore, as soon as Chen Jixing came to invite him today, he immediately agreed, and promised not to pay for the consultation, which made Chen Jixing a little embarrassed. I don't know what's wrong, this Dr. Mao chatted with Ye Feng when he was fine, but Ye Feng still looked like he didn't care about it.

When it arrived, Dr. Mao began to check Ye's pulse. Ye's face was nervous, and his body was tense. Chen Jixing was even more staring at the sidelines, which made Dr. Mao very uncomfortable.

As a result, he knew the reason for the family's nervousness. Without him, Ye was pregnant.

It seemed that he didn't believe it, he took it carefully again, and the result was still the same, Ye was indeed pregnant, and it was already two months. You must know that this Ye family is notoriously unable to give birth in the village.

And now, after many years, she is actually pregnant. You must know that she is already in her thirties, and she properly belongs to an older pregnant woman in this time and space.

Looking at Dr. Mao with a strange expression, Chen Jixing and Ye became even more nervous, thinking that they were not pregnant, and Dr. Mao was embarrassed to say it.

Ye Feng shouted directly: "Then and that, you can be careful." If there's good news, I'll send you a pot of flowers. ”

"Is that true?" Dr. Mao looked happy. You must know that the flower trees made by Ye Feng are now famous, and the whole village has a pot at the village chief's house.

Moreover, with the current situation, he is going to set this pot of flowers.

Hearing this, Ye Feng said: "That's natural, although I'm young, I never break my word." Of course, you can't make us happy just to get this pot of flowers. In that case, I promise you won't have any business coming to your door in the future. ”

For this, Dr. Mao absolutely believes. You must know that now the Yaya Township Kitchen is cooking everywhere, and he doesn't have to do it if he publicizes it casually.

If you want to say that people in the world are not like this, they can't remember the good things, but the bad things are firmly remembered, and they will automatically publicize it to the outside world.

"So I said it?" Dr. Mao said with a smile.

This time it was Chen Jixing's turn not to be calm, he first made sure that Ye was sitting steadily, and then said to Doctor Mao: "Say it, I'm going to die in a hurry." ”

"Haha, tell me quickly, what flowers are you going to give me? I'm going to make a decision on this flower. Dr. Mao smiled happily.

Seeing him like this, Ye Feng knew that he couldn't be wrong, and said happily in his heart: "I originally wanted to give you a pot of flowers, but I have changed my mind now, I want to give you a branch of dendrobium." ”

"What, you said you were going to give me a dendrobium?" Now it was Dr. Mao's turn to tremble.

After all, as a healer, whether it is in the countryside or sitting in the hall, everyone knows the name of Dendrobium, which is a miracle medicine that exists like fairy grass.

"Naturally, I never lie. But let's say it first, I'll only give you one, and more is not good. I've already ordered my pot of dendrobium. ”

Ye Feng said.

In fact, it was he himself who had already pre-sold it.

Although dendrobium is an orchid, it is not as delicate as ordinary orchids, and it can be inserted by simply breaking branches. Due to careful care, this pot of dendrobium has already burst by now.

Fold a branch and give it to Dr. Mao, there is no problem at all.

The two of them walked into the back room with questions and answers, and went to see the pot of dendrobium orchids.

But Ye and Chen Jixing stayed there, not knowing what to say.

Just now, it was obviously talking about whether Ye was pregnant, but now it has become another topic, and I really don't know what dumb riddle the two are playing.
