Chapter 22: A Thunder on the Flat Earth (Part II)

"Get on your knees!" After closing the door, Mrs. Zhao ordered her grandson to kneel.

Zhao Xihou immediately lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.

"Say! Where did you run in the afternoon? ”

"My grandson is studying at home."

"Bang!" Old lady Zhao slapped heavily on the table, "You still want to fool me?" Be honest with me! ”

Zhao Xihou shouted aggrievedly: "My grandson is really at home, and I haven't gone anywhere!" ”

"Nonsense! If you are at home, I have asked the people to look for you three times, but I can't find you? ”

Zhao Xihou said: "My grandson is really at home, and my grandson wrote it from Uncle Wang." ”

"Nonsense! Rongyue went to Wang Jiuzhi to find you! If you are there, why can't you find it? ”

"The grandson is really at Uncle Wang's, and Uncle Wang is sick. The grandson went to see him and thought it was quiet, so he did his homework there. If grandpa doesn't believe it, you can call Rui Xue and ask for it. ”

Old lady Zhao stared at Zhao Xihou's eyes, looking at his grandson's bright eyes inquiringly, he stared at him silently, not allowing Zhao Xihou's gaze to dodge the slightest.

Facing the pressure of Old Lady Zhao, Zhao Xihou's heart couldn't help but feel a little weak, he never knew that his grandfather's gaze was so unavoidable. He forced himself to look at Old Lady Zhao, but he was thinking about how to get out of this torturous situation.

He stiffened his face and didn't dare to breathe, for fear that Old Lady Zhao could detect his nervousness and fear from the slightest change in his face.

The two people, one old and one young, kept stiff, staring at each other, waiting for each other's relaxation.

After half a sound, Old Lady Zhao was finally defeated, and he looked at Zhao Xihou deeply again. Said to the outside: "Go, bring Ruixue." Ask again, the people in the kitchen, did the third young master go to the kitchen to find Ruixue in the afternoon today? ”

The errand outsider listened to it and immediately went down.

There were only their grandchildren in the house. In the huge study, only one candle was lit, and the dim candlelight flickered and shone in the darkness, although it illuminated one place, but added countless weirdness.

The study was so quiet that he could hear his own breathing, Zhao Xihou only felt that the waiting time was too long, and his grandfather was simply deliberately torturing him.

He pricked up his ears and listened to the movement outside, there was nothing around, no insects, and if he listened closely, he seemed to be able to hear the wind blowing the leaves.

It's just that those voices can't cover the sound of Mrs. Zhao's rough breathing, and the black shadow that he innocently amplified for unknown reasons, as if the big net is firmly enveloping him, and he can't breathe so much that he can't breathe.

He uncomfortably relaxed his shoulders, which were too quick to strain, and moved his legs, which were sore on his knees.

"Kneel down!"

Old lady Zhao interrupted, and Zhao Xihou had to kneel down and focus his attention on the movement outside the house.

There was still no sound outside.

Zhao Xihou simply closed his eyes, thinking about the side things.

How did this friend of his, he didn't even know how difficult it was to talk about his family. What a damn one!

Liu Ping was too reckless in what he did today, and he shouldn't have moved his grandfather out in a hurry. At that time, if it is mistaken by others to be true, it will be over, and it will not hurt Zitan's sister.

Zitan's sister is a respectable woman. He couldn't imagine what it was like for a woman to make a living by showing her face outside. Zitan is about the same age as him, how old should Zitan's sister be.

I hope that Zitan has successfully passed the hospital examination at this time, and has also passed the township examination in August, and I think it will be better by then. Zitan sister's marriage can go more smoothly.

He thought about it for a while, and then thought about why this Ruixue hadn't come yet. His legs were numb from his knees, and if he went on like this, his legs would be useless.

Gradually, there were finally footsteps.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally someone came, and he was about to be suffocated to death by the atmosphere in this room.

The door slowly pushed open.

The old wooden door made a "squeak" sound, which was very harsh and difficult to hear.

He turned his head and found Ruixue behind Ximo. She just stood at the doorway and didn't come in, but stood stiffly.

Ruixue stood in the doorway for a moment before she raised her head.

Following the bright light, I saw the old lady Zhao sitting on the Taishi chair, and also saw Zhao Xihou kneeling on the ground. But the dimly lit room still made her tremble.

She didn't dare to go in.

The old lady Zhao with a calm face in the room was particularly frightening. She chose to continue standing in the doorway.

At least she can run away.

"Ruixue is here, come in! I have something to ask you. Old lady Zhao saw Rui Xue coming, and greeted her in a friendly way, "Light a few more candles, it's too dark, are you scared?" ”

Ruixue nodded, and lit three candles in a row, and the room lit up, and the fear in her heart was lowered, but she still felt uneasy.

"I heard your father is sick, but he's getting better?"

Rui Xue nodded: "Yes, it's just that my body is still a little weak." ”

Old lady Zhao nodded: "What's wrong?" Would you like to ask the doctor to come and see again? It seems that I have cooked tonight, so why don't you take a break? ”

"It's just that the food arrived, and the doctor said that it would be good to take a few doses of medicine. Dad said that Yang County's order came tonight, and he was afraid that Tomson would not be able to cope with it, so he watched from the side. ”

"Oh! I remembered, I said it yesterday. I forgot. You've been taking care of your dad all afternoon? ”

Rui Xue nodded: "The third young master also came to see my father. ”

"Oh? You've been together all afternoons? Why didn't you say it when I asked someone to look for it? ”

Rui Xuefang was about to speak, but Yu Guang saw that Zhao Xihou raised his eyebrows and was busy talking.

Seeing Rui Xue like this, Old Lady Zhao thought that she had a ghost in her heart, so she shouted and asked, "Why don't you say it quickly?" Are you covering for him? ”

Rui Xue had never seen Old Lady Zhao get angry, and tears suddenly filled her eyes, glittering. She desperately suppressed the tears from falling.

Zhao Xihou saw Rui Xue crying, afraid that she would say it all if she was afraid, so he hurriedly knelt down two steps, took out the things that Rui Xue had given him earlier from his cuffs, and raised his head: "Grandpa, I'm really at Uncle Wang's." You ordered your grandson to read Liang Huiwang and write it ten more times, and your grandson has already finished writing, please take a look. ”

Old lady Zhao took a look, and the regular script she was holding was Zhao Xihou's handwriting. Ten times King Liang Hui took the block letters and wrote them down, it is estimated that it will take half a day, and if he sneaks out to play, it will be impossible to finish writing.

"Why don't you write in your own house and run to Ruixue?"

Zhao Xihou heard that Old Lady Zhao's tone had eased down, and said earnestly: "Those girls are always walking around me, disturbing my grandson's calligraphy. Grandpa said that when practicing calligraphy, you must abandon things outside your heart, so your grandson hid in Ruixue. He also told her that whoever looked for her grandson said that she didn't see it. ”

Old lady Zhao nodded, looked at Ruixue who was standing on the side with her hands down, got up and walked to Ruixue, and patted Ruixue gently: "Okay, don't cry." I'm wrong about you, don't you want me to pay you for it? ”

Rui Xue hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "Don't dare." ”

"You should be honest with me. Where is he so desperate, I can't find him at home, I'm not in a hurry? Am I so old to be so frightened? I thought he had run out to play, and he wouldn't tell me, what if something happened outside? ”

Rui Xue opened her mouth, but when she looked at Zhao Xihou, who couldn't help but look at herself, she lowered her head again, and played with her clothes and didn't speak.

Old lady Zhao only took her grievance, stretched out her crutch and gave Zhao Xi a thick look: "Stinky boy, if it weren't for you, how could this be?" ”

Zhao Xihou smiled and scolded Rui Xue again and again: "It's mine, it's not mine, ask the girl to be wronged for me, I'll make compensation." For the sake of me, I went to Chuzhou Mansion to bring something to the girl, please understand. ”

Rui Xue hurriedly dodged, but she didn't dare to look up at Old Lady Zhao.

"Alright, alright, finally alright. Ruixue, go back and rest! I'll ask Ximo to send you back! ”

Zhao Xihou smiled and said, "That grandson also retired." Today's thing is that the grandson is not, and he will not be reckless next time. ”

Old lady Zhao waved her hand helplessly and ordered them to go down.

Zhao Xihou drove away Ximo, who sent Ruixue, and came to Ruixue's side: "Okay, don't cry." Grandpa is a paper tiger. ”

Ruixue rubbed her eyes, just ignored Zhao Xihou.

"Let me tell you, the thunder on the flat ground today is wonderful! Why didn't Uncle Wang get this for me to eat before. I've been standing in front of my grandfather just now, and I haven't eaten well, so I'll send some later. ”

Ruixue said in a low voice: "We can't eat pot casually, don't you know." ”

Zhao Xihou pretended to be surprised and said, "Really? I don't know? If I go out and tell people that I am a Quanjiao person in the future, I am afraid that people will laugh at me at that time. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Ruixue's complexion. It's still a little awkward. But Fang Cai is indeed a little scared, no wonder Rui Xue cried all of a sudden, fortunately she didn't sell herself.

He smiled and said, "I went out today and encountered something. It's really annoying to say, how can there be such a thing in the world, Ruixue, you are commenting, where is such a thing? ”

He crackled and told the Lu family about the robbery while it was hot, and then he also told them about their reckless behavior.

"Qiu Gongzi's sister is really good."

Zhao Xihou had been paying attention to Ruixue's face, and when he saw that she finally stopped crying, he gradually breathed a sigh of relief: "Of course it's good." If I were Liu Ping, I would marry Sister Zitan immediately. ”

Rui Xue saw that he was ashamed to say that he wanted to marry someone, and stretched out his hand to shame her: "Don't be ashamed!" When you pick up the third young grandmother in the future, I will definitely tell the third young grandmother! ”

Zhao Xi's face immediately turned red, he just talked about it, but he just thought that it was a good choice for Liu Ping to marry his sister and talk about it. But I didn't expect this layer.

He immediately wanted to catch Ruixue: "Don't say it!" ”

Ruixue screamed and hurriedly ducked.

"Don't run away from crying guys!"

As soon as Rui Xue heard him call himself a crying man, she immediately stood up and looked at Zhao Xihou seriously.

Zhao Xihou grabbed Ruixue and said proudly: "You can't run away!" As he spoke, he flicked a blow on Ruixue's head, "Let's see if you can say it in the future!" Uh, what's wrong with you? ”

"Young master, you are not allowed to call me a crying guy in the future."

It's rare to be serious Ruixue. Zhao Xihou shrugged: "Okay, I won't scream!" ”

The more relaxed Zhao Xihou was, the more indifferent she was, the more angry Rui Xue became, and she said solemnly: "I'm serious, if you call me again...... Good cryer, I won't help you! ”

Zhao Xihou hurriedly collapsed the corners of his mouth, and followed behind Ruixue grovelly: "I know, if I call you again, I will be locked up by my grandfather for a year and a half, and I will never be able to go out, and I will not be able to eat Uncle Wang's food!" ”

A thunderclap on the ground: Su Cai. But the method in the article is actually the double crispy pot in Hui cuisine. Because the pot is said to have originated in Anhui, it ...... Hee-hee, I'll ....... The toppings are different, and the dishes are also different, but the common name is "flat ground thunder". Uh~ Some people say that it was researched by Chen Guofu, known as "the first dish in the world", and its "alias" - bombing Tokyo is really wonderful~

In some places in Anhui, the pot is not eaten immediately, but is left in the jar and waited until the year of the catastrophe or when going out for later use. The sawdust boiling pot is thicker than the firewood.

(I almost forgot to ask for a ticket~ Let's ask for a ticket~ It's so bleak!) I'm going to rob you of your tickets!! )
