When the first rays of sunlight shone into the house in the morning, Wang Jiuzhi was clumsily combing Ruixue's hair, who was already six years old. Rui Xue sat honestly on the chair, her legs dangling, dangling and playing, and playing with two red head ropes in her hands. He said sweetly: "Daddy, let's go!" The fourth aunt will help me tie my braids! ”

Wang Jiuzhi clumsily tied the red head rope and tied it up with pigtails, and taught: "Daddy said, you can't always trouble others......"

"We're just staying here temporarily, and we're going to leave later!" Xiao Ruixue opened her mouth and continued, her father always said that she had already carried the melon.

Wang Jiuzhi gently tapped on the door of her little brain. Ruixue is smart and obedient. God gave him such a treasure at his most difficult time, which really soothed too much of his sorrow.

When Rui Xue quit breastfeeding, he planned to take her to leave the Zhao family, after all, it was not good for Rui Xue to help other people's families. However, this little girl, who was only seven months old at the time, babbled and shouted that she was unwilling, hugged Liu's family, and nestled in Si'er's arms but refused to leave. He had no choice but to stay.

"Ruixue likes this?"

Rui Xue nodded, but she might as well grab her braid in Wang Jiuzhi's hand, it hurt, she reached out and pressed her scalp, and cried: "It hurts." ”

Wang Jiuzhi hurriedly rubbed it for her, and whispered, "Daddy's hands are heavy, but they still hurt?" ”

Ruixue shook her little head and swayed from side to side like a rattle: "Daddy, the flowers in the back garden look so good!" ”

"It's not your own home!"

Rui Xue tilted her head and looked at Wang Jiuzhi, and said confusedly: "However, the old lady said that Rui Xue can treat this place as his home!" ”

Wang Jiuzhi hugged Ruixue tightly, she was still too young to know what the so-called home meant.

Ruixue didn't dare to move, although her father hugged her too tightly, which made her feel uncomfortable. But she had already sensed that something was wrong with her father, and she said cautiously: "If Daddy doesn't like it, Ruixue won't stay here!" ”

"You don't want the fourth aunt and godmother?" The crisp voice came from Si'er's mouth.

As soon as Ruixue heard her voice, she immediately cheered.

Wang Jiuzhi hurriedly put down Ruixue and watched his daughter throw herself into Si'er's arms. He hurriedly invited Si'er to sit down, and said politely: "I said that I can take care of Ruixu alone." ”

Si'er is also a big girl, and she will always be gossiped about when she runs into her house.

Si'er hugged Ruixue and sat on the chair and combed her hair. When she heard Wang Jiuzhi say that he could take care of Ruixue alone, she laughed suddenly: "You also said that you can take care of it!" I can't even comb my hair. ”

Rui Xue nodded in agreement, she looked at her father who was standing on the side with a smile, and said sweetly to Si'er: "Fourth aunt, Daddy's braids are not good-looking." ”

Si'er happily nodded her little head and said, "Our Ruixue still knows how to look good!" Daddy just doesn't comb well, it's also for your good. She then pointed at Wang Jiu, "You want to take Ruixue away again?" ”

Wang Jiuzhi watched Si'er skillfully help Rui Xue tie her braids, and also tied a beautiful bow for her. Shen said: "After all, it's not good to always send people under the fence, I just don't think about myself, I should also think about Ruixue." Always here, others still think I'm a subordinate, and I will tell Ruixue about my family affairs in the future, for fear that others will look down on her. ”

Rui Xue is considered to be good-looking, so he naturally refuses to wronged her.

Si'er heard Wang Jiuzhi say this, and agreed with his thoughts: "Also, as far as our Ruixue is concerned, there is no difference between us and Miss Qianjin, and we must not talk about our family casually." Then her words suddenly changed, "However, if you go out, Ruixue will definitely play with the children outside in the future." With the five girls in the yard, you can always learn something. The old lady wants to ask the fifth girl for a husband, and she has to find someone to teach her needlework. If you want me to say that Ruixue is also studying now, it is not too late to go out when she is thirteen or fourteen years old. ”

Wang Jiuzhi listened quietly. Although Si'er is a girl from a peasant family, she washes clothes on weekdays, but she is very assertive, and Wang Jiuzhi will always listen to her words.

"That's for the fifth girl, Ruixue goes, it's not appropriate."

Si'er looked at him with a look on his face: "What do you mean by this?" It's not easy for the old lady to see you as a man with a child, so she always asks us women to take care of one or two more. When Sister-in-law Liu was the fifth girl, she didn't give Ruixue milk to eat. Even the five girls made clothes, and the old lady confessed to give Ruixue two pieces. Why didn't you say it wasn't appropriate at that time? ”

Si'er's words rushed Wang Jiuzhi to the south wall, he knew that he couldn't win Si'er, he just smiled, and took a piece of clothing to help Rui Xue put it on.

Ruixue shook her head and was unwilling: "Daddy, I want to wear this." Rui Xue pointed to a pink and purple dress and pointed at Wang Jiu.

Si'er smiled and dressed Rui Xue, and pointed to Wang Jiu: "Look at it, she will choose her own clothes." Look at it, the snow is delicate, and you can pinch out the water! It can be seen that there is still something to be learned here. ”

Wang Jiu pointed to Rui Xue, who looked like a pea flower, and his heart moved. What Si'er said is that at least he is a big man and doesn't know how to dress well.

Ruixue jumped into the courtyard and went to the house of Zhao Xiyun, who was known as the fifth girl.

Liu is braiding Zhao Xiyun.

Seeing Ruixue coming, Zhao Xiyun smiled at her. She was shy, and Mrs. Zhao specially asked Rui Xue to play with her more, not a maid and a slave, Zhao Xiyun was more cheerful.

Zhao Xiyun waited for the braids to be tied before coming over. She is a month younger than Rui Xue, but half a head shorter, her small face looks delicate and moving, but she also looks congenitally weak, she pursed her lips and smiled: "What is today?" ”

Ruixue took out the straw grasshopper like a baby: "Look! This is a grasshopper, which was originally compiled by Zhao. ”

Zhao Xiyun looked at the grasshopper that was the same as the real one, and didn't want to see a straw butterfly in front of him. She took it with a smile and muttered, "It's fun." ”

"Fun!"

Zhao Xiyun pursed his lips, whispering, with a hint of pleading: "I'll exchange things with you!" ”

Rui Xue looked at it in embarrassment, and said with determination: "You choose one!" I'll give you! ”

Zhao Xiyun smiled, pointed at the grasshopper and said, "This." She hadn't seen a grasshopper before, and she thought it was a strange thing, and it had a pair of claws like knives.

"Shall we go on the swing? I push you? Ruixue took Zhao Xiyun's hand and was about to run.

An old lady hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "The fifth girl hasn't said hello to the old lady yet!" ”

Rui Xue doesn't like this old lady very much, she is very strict, she always likes to accuse her and Zhao Xiyun, and always says that the girl's family can't laugh too loudly, can't run and jump.

Zhao Xiyun took Rui Xue's hand and whispered, "Can you accompany me to see grandpa first?" ”

Rui Xue nodded, Old Lady Zhao is very good, Rui Xue is not afraid of him. In front of Old Lady Zhao, the old lady didn't dare to say anything. Rui Xue likes to follow Zhao Xiyun to the old lady Zhao the most, and it is very comfortable to see the old lady with her eyes closed and her eyes closed.

The Zhao family is a big family in Quanjiao, and there is a garden in this old house. Zhao Xiyun took Rui Xue through the blooming flowers in the garden and walked silently. Compared with Ruixue's liveliness, Zhao Xiyun seems to be preoccupied.

Ruixue picked a flower, helped Zhao Xiyun plug it in, tilted her head and said, "Fifth girl, you are so good-looking!" She looked at the five girls and wanted to protect her, she was really good-looking.

"Ruixue, I'm going to wrap my feet." Zhao Xiyun suddenly pulled Ruixue and asked in a low voice. As she spoke, she secretly turned around and looked around, only to see that the maid and the mother-in-law were far behind, so she was relieved.

"Footbinding? What is Foot Wrapping? For the first time, Ruixue heard this strange thing, played with the flowers in her hand, and put it in front of her nose to smell it.

Zhao Xiyun shook his head: "I don't know either. It's just that the **** heard Aunt Cui say that I am already six years old, and it is time to bind my feet. ”

"I'm six years old, do I have to bind my feet too?"

Zhao Xiyun nodded: "It should be!" "Rui Xue is about the same age as herself, even the clothes she makes, grandpa will ask someone to make them, and you will be able to wrap your feet together!

Rui Xue said indifferently: "Then wrap it up, anyway, the two of us together." Ruixue didn't know what the so-called foot-binding meant, and she thought it was just something like being reprimanded by the old grandmother.

Zhao Xiyun smiled, she forgot that she heard the maid snorting when she talked about wrapping her feet that day. It's nice that only Rui Xue plays with herself in this family. With her by her side, she is not afraid at all.

"Drink chicken bean porridge this morning, Daddy said this is good for the old lady's body."

Zhao Xiyun smiled slightly, and the gentle breeze brushed her bangs, bringing a little joy to her face.

*

Old lady Zhao looked at Zhao Xiyun with a smile and greeted him. Although this is a niece and granddaughter, she grew up by her side, which also alleviates his loneliness of not having a grandchild by his side in the past few years.

Looking at Rui Xue, who had learned well, Old Lady Zhao smiled and said, "Why did you come together?" ”

"Ruixue came to play with me."

Old lady Zhao motioned for Zhao Xiyun and Rui Xue to sit beside him, and looked at the two of them kindly: "What are you going to play?" Come with me for breakfast and walk with me! ”

Zhao Xiyun responded obediently. 's mother died early, and my father didn't see each other twice, only this grandfather gave her a trace of family affection. Ruixue also responded, everyone else has a grandfather, but she doesn't, so she will take Mrs. Zhao as a grandfather.

She sat down silently and stretched out her hand to beat Old Lady Zhao's legs.

Old lady Zhao smiled with satisfaction, her son didn't rub his shoulders and beat his back, but this niece and granddaughter regarded herself as a relative, which is really rare! He caressed Zhao Xiyun's head lovingly.

"You're not done with your story last time!" Rui Xue tugged on Old Lady Zhao's sleeve and said. Mrs. Zhao can tell stories that others don't know, so it's good to hear. Every time I went back to tell my father, my father was very happy.

Old lady Zhao was slightly stunned. Thinking about the story of Ti Ying's rescue of his father last time, he couldn't remember what he was talking about: "Then where did I tell it?" The way he looked at Rui Xue was another kind of love, if only the five girls could be as lively as Rui Xue, the little girl's family is no different from an adult. This is also the reason why he hopes that Zhao Xiyun and Ruixue will always be together.

Zhao Xiyun said softly: "Ti Ying sees the emperor." ”

In fact, this story is almost over, and Mrs. Zhao only made a slight ending and it was over.

Zhao Xiyun's eyes were red when she thought of her father, who she had never seen, and Rui Xue's eyes were red when she remembered her father's kindness to her.

Mrs. Zhao saw that she had made the two children red-eyed, so she hurriedly coaxed her to bring breakfast and coax the children to eat snacks.

Ground fresh chicken beans, add yam and poria cocos, and slowly boil until the water and rice are harmonious, soft and greasy. The fragrance of the chicken beans is mixed with the sweetness of the japonica rice, which is really a wonderful taste, and it is also really an appetite for an old man like him.

Just when he sighed that life was comfortable, someone came to report, saying that the second son had sent someone to greet him.

"Old lady. The second old man sent someone to greet the old lady. ”

Old lady Zhao suddenly made a straight face: "Tell him that I'm not dead yet!" ”

The two children looked at him and got angry, and stood up in fear, not daring to make a sound.

The family member who delivered the news was busy kowtowing and didn't dare to respond, but kowtowed, and at the end, he saw that the old lady Zhao didn't speak, and then he said boldly: "Go back to the old lady, the second old man let the little old lady Mingming." In a few days, I will bring the third young master back and say hello to the old lady. ”

*(Haha~ It's time for the food talk of red envelopes again!) ）

Chicken bean porridge: from Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List". Grinding chicken beans for porridge, fresh is the best, Chen can also be, add yam, Poria cocos is especially wonderful. It has the effect of benefiting the ears and eyes, tonifying the kidneys, and fixing the essence (traditional Chinese medicine says that people are old and need to replenish the essence when they are insufficient, so this porridge is very good for the elderly).

The so-called chicken beans are the seeds. However, not everyone can eat the gourd, because it has a strong astringent effect, and it is not suitable for women to eat before and after external sensations, malaria, dysentery, hemorrhoids, qi depression, constipation, red urine and women giving birth.
