There are two tables in the hall.

A table for men.

A table for women.

Old man Gu picked up the rice wine in the earthen bowl, looked at the two tables of people in the room, and after Balabala expressed his feelings, he said, "I won't say anything more, let's all move." ”

As soon as I heard this.

A few young children, chopsticks all stretched out towards the oily braised pork.

Because Ye Qing brushed a careful machine, added more tangerine peel, star anise, and Sichuan pepper, the three flavors of spices, so, although this braised pork looks red and bright in color and is very appetizing, but when eating, it is a little astringent and bitter in the mouth, and it is full of the hemp of Sichuan pepper and the bitter and astringent taste of star anise.

"Ye, what's the taste of this braised pork...... How is it different from the one you sent to the old mansion before? It tastes very bitter. Yu Pozi asked with a long face of displeasure.

"Mother, you blame me for this, the reason why the taste is different is because ...... Because just now I asked you for sugar, but you said no, this is not added sugar, this taste is naturally lacking. Ye Qing's face was innocent, his face did not change, and he lied and replied aggrieved without opening his mouth without his heart beating.

As soon as I heard this.

Gu Nanshan held back a smile in his heart, but his face became more and more cold, and he put his chopsticks down: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has been scrubbing the pig water for a long time on this cold day, and she has been busy in the kitchen all morning, and finally made the two pairs of pigs in the water, and now you are here to find fault again, can this New Year's dinner be delicious?" If you can't eat properly, my daughter-in-law and I will leave. ”

In Old Man Gu's heart, he also suspected that Ye Qing had played a trick, but on this good day, he couldn't make a fuss, so he hurriedly came out to play a round.

This meal.

Ye Qing and Gu Nanshan looked at these people in the old mansion, and in front of this table of food that didn't taste good, neither of them had much appetite.

After a hasty meal.

Gu Nanshan put the chopsticks down, covered his leg and said with an uncomfortable face: "Dad, mother, my son's injured leg feels a little cold and painful, so my daughter-in-law and I will go back first." ”

So many people's dishes and chopsticks.

He was reluctant to let his daughter-in-law wash.

Today's goal has almost been achieved.

Old man Gu and Mrs. Yu didn't want to leave these two eyesore in front of them, so they symbolically said a few words, and then agreed to Gu Nanshan and Ye Qing to leave, and let Gu Lao Er and Pingshun send each other off.

Back halfway up the mountain.

Gu Nanshan got down from Gu Laoer's back, looked at the two of them on crutches, a rare smile appeared on his cold face, and said politely to the two: "Second brother and Pingshun have worked hard again today." ”

"No, no, no...... Third brother, don't be so polite, what, there are still many trivial things at home, and the second brother won't stay much. ”

"Third uncle, third aunt, my second uncle and I will go back first." Pingshun also shyly said goodbye.

Ye Qing and Gu Nanshan said to stay, but they couldn't resist the two, so the husband and wife had to thank them again and again and watch the two leave.

After the husband and wife saw Gu Lao Er's and Pingshun's backs disappear from sight, Qi Qi, who was relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xianggong, you haven't eaten enough just now, have you? What do you want to eat later? I'll make it for you,......" Ye Qing said to her husband without looking back as she went to open the courtyard door.

When the lock of the courtyard door is opened, the door lock is about to be removed.

Gu Nanshan's face changed, and he grabbed his wife and dodged from the courtyard gate to the stone courtyard wall on the side.

Ye Qing lowered his voice and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" ”

Gu Nanshan looked at the courtyard wall with a wary expression: "Something is wrong, we have been back for a while, but Xiao Hei has not come to pick us up abnormally, and there is no sound from Xiao Hei inside......
