Chapter 54: The Last Meal

Ning Zeqing told Aunt Niu about leaving, but she was not surprised at all.

"I knew when they were gone, and you wouldn't be long in coming. Let's go, I can't keep you. When are you going to leave? ”

"Tomorrow at noon."

Aunt Niu sighed: "Okay." I know. ”

After that, he didn't speak, and Ning Zeqing had no choice but to walk away.

This night, Aunt Niu ran around and directly and indirectly informed the whole village of the news that the distinguished guests at home were leaving, so she went door to door with some small gifts to Aunt Niu's house to bid farewell to the benefactor of the village, which was very lively.

"This is our family's dried vegetables just dried in the New Year, there is nothing that the small family can get their hands on, and these are still a little distinctive, so you don't have to dislike it."

"My mother-in-law was just about to give birth that day, if you hadn't come to the rescue, I am afraid that there would have been two deaths. I, Chen, can still have a home today, thanks to you. These freshly harvested glutinous rice should be a little heart, you must accept it. ”

"And mine, if you can't find anything to eat on the road, you can also be hungry. Don't be sorry if you can't finish eating and throw it away. ”

"Don't forget my fennel beans, it's a snack for a drink."

"And my family's ......"

The villagers stuffed things into the arms of the five people one by one, until they couldn't hold it anymore and sent it in.

Aunt Niu's house has never been so lively, and Shi Shu and the others are full of grateful joy on their faces.

"Brother, I have something for you too." Xiao Fugui pulled the corner of Laban Fei's clothes in the noise of the crowd, and his voice was glutinous.

Ban Fei looked down at him, squatted down to look at him at eye level, and asked with a smile, "Then what are you going to give my brother?" ”

Xiao Fugui stretched out his hand, and there was a white jade-colored stone lying on the palm of his hand, which was round and without edges and corners.

"This is the pebble that my brother and I have been looking for for a long time by the river to pick up, and the river beach is the most beautiful for him."

Ban flew behind him and looked, and the dog was standing behind him.

Ban Fei beckoned to him, pulled him over, put the hands of the two children together, and said with a smile: "Brother likes this gift very much, and thank you too." It's just that the river is dangerous, don't go by yourself in the future, and you must call an adult when you want to play, you know? ”

Goudan and Xiao Fugui nodded, Ban Fei was relieved, touched the heads of the two, and put the stone away.

But underneath the excitement, there always seems to be a low atmosphere flowing.

When the crowd had dispersed that night, the crowd returned to the house, overwhelmed by the sentimentality of the sudden attack, which had been so sweet to sleep in for so long, that it was a little too much to close today.

On the second day, after everyone got up all night, Aunt Niu was still not there, and the prepared lunch had been placed on the table, still porridge and side dishes, with three or two salted duck eggs.

These days have been busy, and Aunt Niu is probably still working in the mountains.

After breakfast, everyone walked around a little, which was the last time to see this quiet little mountain village.

When they returned to the courtyard, Aunt Niu was already preparing the last meal for them.

Ban Fei wanted to step forward to help, but was stopped by her.

Wei Qin saw that the water tank in the courtyard was much empty, so he wanted to go to the well to fetch some water, but Aunt Niu took the burden away.

Qu Mingli helped clean the house carefully, and was kicked out by Aunt Niu again.

Shi Shu discussed with Ning Zeqing to keep more money, carefully wrapped some broken silver with a small bag, and was bumped into by Aunt Niu, and immediately returned it.

Everyone had no choice but to sit at the table and wait quietly for the meal to be ready.

The food on the table was unprecedentedly rich, Aunt Niu remembered everyone's tastes on weekdays, specially prepared the favorite dishes for everyone, went to the mountains to pick the freshest vegetables and fruits, went to the pond to catch fatty carp, and filled the table.

It turned out that Aunt Niu went out this morning to prepare lunch dinner.

"Aunt Niu, don't you hate wasting food the most? With so many dishes today, aren't you afraid of wasting? Wei Qin was a little uncomfortable with such a formation.

Aunt Niu snorted every day: "If we can't finish eating, we will continue to eat, eat day and night, so that we won't waste it." You can eat with confidence, eat and walk away if you can, don't leave a little belly. ”

Everyone was grateful to Aunt Niu for her kindness and slowly moved the chopsticks, but the throat was hard and the food was difficult to swallow.

Aunt Niu saw that Ning Zeqing didn't move the chopsticks as before, so she took the new chopsticks and personally made them for him: "You don't say a word on your lips, but you have some words for the sake of others in your heart, and you are a cold-faced and hot-hearted master." We're afraid that you think a lot for others, but you don't appreciate it, and you end up disliked. Being a man, naturally, is the most important thing to be happy, and you have to learn more from your aunt. ”

Ning Zeqing saw that her words were rude, but she really thought about him, and only responded lightly, without saying much.

Aunt Niu gave Ban Feibu vegetables again, and directly sandwiched some big fish and meat for him, and smiled on her face: "You kid, we really like it, we are not ambiguous at all in our work, and we are honest and responsible." If you were born in our village, I don't know how many girls would like it. Otherwise, you will stay in the village, and we will point you to a good family. ”

Ban Fei knew that Aunt Niu was joking, but he still waved his hand in a panic.

Aunt Niu shook her head, and saw Zhenghuan Wei Qin eating on the side, and said with a smile: "You, the ancestor, are greedy for eating and playing, and you speak straight and fast, if Aunt Niu doesn't know that you are like this, I'm afraid I will be angry a lot." That's fine, I didn't treat Aunt Niu as an outsider, we just hope that in this life, you can eat so much and have so much fun, we will be satisfied. ”

Qu Mingli lowered his head to eat and didn't speak, and of course Aunt Niu wouldn't let him go.

"You kid, you scared me out when you smashed someone's yard that day, but I know you're an impatient, and you're stubborn, and you won't stop until you pull people out. It's also thanks to your stubbornness, otherwise why would so many people help. It's just that don't act impulsively in the future, if you hurt yourself, Aunt Niu will be distressed. ”

Qu Ming was slightly sour in his centrifugation, from childhood to adulthood, he practiced martial arts and didn't know how many times he was injured, except for Aunt Chun, no one said such a thing to himself, he held back his tears at the moment, nodded, and still lowered his head to eat.

The prince pretended to be dissatisfied: "Aunt Niu, why do you say that no one says anything about me, does Aunt Niu dislike me?" ”

Aunt Niu smiled: "I don't dare to say it, Aunt Niu's eyes are bright, and I can see that you are the richest person here, and you have the protection of your ancestors in your life. It is said that Jiren has his own natural appearance, which is the most suitable for you. What's more, you don't have a frame at all, and your temperament is so good, I'm afraid that God can't bear to bring disaster to you. ”

After living at home for so many days, Aunt Niu was clear to everyone, and she spoke naturally and sincerely, without any flattery.

Seeing that everyone was eating happily, Aunt Niu sighed with a smile: "I knew that you were all nobles, but it seems that it is more expensive than I imagined to be nobles, and it is not something that rough people like me can understand." My aunt is stupid and can't help you much, so I can only burn incense and worship the Buddha every day, bless you all with peace and security, and your wishes will come true. ”

Before leaving, Aunt Niu helped to carry the food sent by everyone in the village to the carriage, wrapped some rice balls, and filled some water in a bamboo tube for preparation.

Everyone wanted to say goodbye to her, but Aunt Niu drove them out and told them to leave quickly, so as not to miss the hour.

Everyone knew that she didn't want to add any more sadness, so she got in the car and left.

This mountain town, even if there are fewer people, is as quiet as ever.
