Chapter 15 Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

Ask for PK tickets, pink tickets, recommended tickets, don't let go of any of them~)

Zhao Xiyun ran out, stumbling faster and faster.

She walked all the way with her head shut, ignoring the people she met on the road, she only knew how to go forward, as long as the road was not broken, she kept going down, she didn't want to stay there, she didn't want to see her father who had only met once again.

Her father's words tore at her heart. She has thought about what her father looks like, what she will say to herself if her father comes back, and whether it will be like Wang Jiuzhi to Ruixue. And he has to beat his father's back and rub his shoulders, wash his feet, and do a good job of his unfulfilled filial piety.

Her father had also made kites for herself, and she thought it was better than the fat powder jewelry that her father had brought back to her from Nanjing. She even thought about her father taking her out to fly a kite.

But why, my father would say something like that?

Why, why didn't my father want her anymore.

Her feet hurt so much, she still walked unremittingly every day, and never thought of giving up. Why, the man said not to follow him, and the father resolutely abandoned him. Is that man heavier than himself?

Why did my father still say to him that he missed him one moment ago, and left himself behind the next moment. Could it be that what my father said to himself was a lie?

Is the sadness on his father's face when he talks about his mother also fake?

Three years later, after the stepmother gave birth to a son, she took her over. Now that the stepmother has not passed the door, she can't tolerate herself, and three years later, she gave birth to a younger brother, so is there still a place for her? Will she be able to accommodate herself?

She had a good life in front of her grandfather, and she was really good before the third brother came. But after the third brother came, the maid beside him was ......

Those maids often ask themselves, when will the uncle come back? When the girls were going to come to their uncle, she could hear the alienation in their deliberate voices.

She thought that if she had been with her father, no one would ever ask her that question of her again.

Zhao Xiyun couldn't run anymore. The pain of her foot pricked her little by little, tearing her attention a little, she squatted down indifferently against the wall, hugged her knee helplessly and cried bitterly.

Why? Why if she is a daughter, if it is a son, the father will not have the idea of leaving himself here. She suddenly hated the young lady of the Zhou family, it was all her, if it wasn't for her, her father would not have left her behind. Since she is the niece and granddaughter of Shangshu, there are many people who can marry, why did she choose her father alone. Even then, what can she do to her father by her side.

Zhao Xiyun gritted his teeth hatefully, clenched his fists, and cursed in his heart that Miss Zhou would be punished sooner or later.

Be! She's not going to get better. Aunt Cui occasionally said that if you plant evil fruits, you will inevitably be punished.

She wiped away her tears and looked around her, only to find that she didn't know where she was. This section of the wall was unfamiliar, and she had never been here before.

Narrow alleyway, very quiet. Where is this?

She slowly stood up and gasped in pain. The foot hurts.

Piercing the soles of her feet, stimulating all her nerves. She couldn't help but look down at her spiky feet. My father was happy to see his feet, and she was happy. However, now she regrets that she had bound her feet, and if she had told her grandfather that she would not have bound her feet, she would not have suffered this sin.

She leaned against the wall and walked back.

After walking a dozen steps, she saw a woman coming from one side of the wall. She knew that woman, Ruixue's godaunt, called Si'er. Sometimes she would bring washed clothes to herself, and she had seen them a few times.

Si'er walked over from the small door, looked up and saw Zhao Xiyun, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fifth girl, why did you come here?" Are you here to find Ruixue? ”

Zhao Xiyun nodded hesitantly: "No...... It's ......"

Si'er secretly glanced at Zhao Xiyun. The uncle came back, and the old lady invited the uncle to drink in the garden, and the five girls should follow, how did they come here. Moreover, her eyes were slightly red and a little swollen, and there were tears on her eyelashes that had been wiped away, clearly crying.

She smiled and said, "The fifth girl has never been here, I'll take you there, just go to the place not far ahead." Ruixue has been locked up these days, and everyone is in a hurry. I wanted to go out to play all day long, but Master Wang didn't tell her to go out. ”

Zhao Xiyun followed Si'er and asked, "Rui Xue is okay?" I wanted to see it before, but it was just ...... Aunt Cui didn't call me. Said it would be passed on to me. ”

Si'er hurriedly thanked: "It's already acne, just a few more days." Now it's not in the way, the fifth girl is going back this time, Rui Xue doesn't know how happy she should be. ”

Zhao Xiyun smiled slightly: "I like to play with Ruixue." ”

After walking a short distance, I turned to the left and entered a small gate with a courtyard. Si'er pushed the door in: "Ruixue, let's see who is coming." ”

Ruixue, who was crawling on the bed, felt bored, and when she saw Si'er coming, she immediately jumped up with cheers, and then ran out of bed barefoot, and she found Zhao Xiyun who walked in.

She became more and more happy, cheered and pounced, hugged Zhao Xiyun is jumping, jumping and shouting: "Five girls, five girls, I miss you so much." You don't even come to see me, I don't have anyone to talk to, it's so boring. He wiped away tears as he spoke.

Zhao Xiyun was infected by her cheerfulness, she also hugged Ruixue, and said happily: "I miss you too." I heard you're well, let me take a look. ”

Rui Xue happily turned around twice in front of Zhao Xiyun, and said with a smile: "It's all right." My body is no longer itchy, my mouth is no longer painful, and now I can eat things that smell like this. ”

Si'er took the shoes next to the bed, put them in front of Ruixue, and urged: "Put on the shoes quickly, be careful to get cold, your body is a little better, so restless." ”

Rui Xue smiled sweetly, obediently put on her shoes, pulled Zhao Xiyun to sit down, and pouted and complained: "You don't know, I've been miserable these days." I can't go anywhere, not even outside, and I can't eat casually. It's something that doesn't taste at all all day, and my mouth doesn't taste when I eat it. ”

Si'er, who was cleaning up on the side, couldn't help but smile and said: "Where is there such a thing as you say, Master Wang doesn't change his tricks to cook for you every day." ”

Rui Xue couldn't help but say, "I know, but it's really tasteless." The fourth aunt knows how to help her father. ”

Knowing that Ruixue was talking about children, Si'er still blushed half of his face, and said shyly: "Where can I help your father." ”

"My fourth aunt came to take care of me every day, cooked food for me and my father, and sewed clothes...... My father also asked me if I wanted my fourth aunt to be my mother. Rui Xue counted Si'er's good little by little with her fingers, and the last sentence made Si'er's face even more like a burning cloud.

She couldn't help but look at Rui Xue with some expectation, and hesitated: "Then you...... What do you say? ”

Si'er only felt extremely nervous, Master Wang had already asked Ruixue? It seems that Master Wang is going to promise himself nine times out of ten, although he ...... However, she still wanted to hear that affirmative reply from Ruixue.

Rui Xue smiled sweetly: "I said yes! I like Aunt Four. ”

Although he heard it with his own ears, he was full of joy and couldn't hide his joy, and Si'er didn't know how to put it in his hands and feet: "I...... I'll .....I'll go and cook something for you, Rui Xue, whatever you want to eat, the fourth aunt will make it for you, whether it's sesame oil bamboo shoots or sweet and sour pork ribs, the fourth aunt will make it for you. ”

She was a little excited in her heart, and she couldn't wait for Ruixue's answer and rushed out the door.

Zhao Xiyun stared at Si'er who rushed out, and said faintly: "Do you like her to be your mother?" ”

"Yes, the fourth aunt is very good."

Zhao Xiyun couldn't hide her sadness and said: "Which stepmother is a good person?" ”

Rui Xue felt that something was wrong with Zhao Xiyun and pushed her: "What's wrong with you?" Seeing that her eyes were a little swollen again, she asked carefully, "Are you crying?" What's wrong? I heard my father say that my uncle is back, why aren't you there? ”

Zhao Xiyun's tears flowed uncontrollably, and she hugged Ruixue: "Dad doesn't want me, Dad doesn't want me anymore." ”

Rui Xue cried when she saw her, a little overwhelmed, and reached out to wipe Zhao Xiyun's tears: "What's the matter?" How could I not want you? ”

Zhao Xiyun choked up and said what Zhao Youlin said; "So, the stepmother is not a good thing. My father came back and was very kind to me, hugged me and cried, brought me things, and turned his face just to marry that woman and didn't want me. ”

"But, didn't my uncle say that he would pick you up after she gave birth to a son in three years?"

Zhao Xiyun said angrily: "You don't want me now, how can you want me in the future!" ”

"Five girls?"

Zhao Xiyun wiped away her tears vigorously: "She wants me now, treat me well in front of my father, beat and scold me behind my back, even if I talk to my father, my father will think that I am cautious and dislike me more and more." Instead of telling her to treat me badly in the future, it's better to follow grandpa here, at least grandpa is good to me. ”

Rui Xue looked at Zhao Xiyun in a daze, but a small drum played in her heart. The stepmother is not a good thing, she is good to herself in front of her, but she is another kind of person behind her. Would the fourth aunt do this to herself?

Mrs. Zhao originally told them the story of the twenty-four filial pieties, and there was a stepmother who made thick cotton clothes for her own son, but the cotton clothes of her husband's ex-wife and children were stuffed with thatch. The ex-wife's child was frozen, and others said that the ex-wife's child was not sensible.

If the fourth aunt treats herself like this, will everyone think so, is she ignorant? Will Dad never like himself again?

Zhao Xiyun pushed the stunned Ruixue: "What's wrong with you?" I think Si'er is very good to you, and Uncle Wang is good to you, and he won't be like me. You're so nice, so many people like you, I only have grandpa. ”

Ruixue hugged her legs, rested her head on her legs, and nodded sullenly.

Wang Jiuzhi, who had made the meal, hurried back to the place where he lived, and Si'er was taking care of Ruixue to eat. He nodded gratefully to Si'er, but said to Rui Xue: "Don't eat so much, empty these days, be careful of your stomach ......"

His words came to an abrupt end, Rui Xue was simply counting the rice, pulling it into her mouth little by little, looking like she was eating it in a big gulp, but there was no shortage in the bowl at all.

"What's wrong? Not tasty? ”

Ruixue shook her head sullenly.

Si'er hurriedly sandwiched sweet and sour pork ribs for Ruixue: "Aren't you your favorite food?" Master Wang did it for you. When Wang Jiuzhi was mentioned, she involuntarily glanced at Wang Jiuzhi, her face quickly turned red, and she retracted her hot gaze in a panic.

Rui Xue Mu took a bite, chewing again and again.

Wang Jiuzhi said apologetically to Si'er, who persuaded Rui Xue to eat more, "Thank you very much." You're tired too, go back and rest. As he spoke, he got up to send him off.

Si'er stood up a little embarrassed, and said, "Then I'll go, tomorrow...... Tomorrow, I'll come again. ”

She had barely stepped out of the threshold when a creaking sound was heard behind her. The door closed, and she looked back helplessly, staring at the mottled wooden door. He was so eager to let himself go? Or was he never fond of himself, just wishful thinking from Ruixue's words?

She walked slowly out of the courtyard, the sun was overhead, and there was only a mass of figures, and she stared at her own shadows. The black mass moves with her movements, no matter whether she is fast or slow, she can never get rid of that trace of darkness.

Wang Jiuzhi put away Ruixue's dishes and chopsticks: "If you don't want to eat, don't eat it, don't force it." ”

Ruixue nodded silently, her hands sliding down naturally, hanging straight on either side of the stool, only her fingers scratching the legs of the stool unintentionally.

Wang Jiuzhi put away the dishes and chopsticks, walked over, bent down and picked up Rui Xue, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and let Rui Xue sit on his legs: "Is there anything you want to talk to your father?" ”

Rui Xue leaned against Wang Jiuzhi's chest and shook her head gently.

"Daddy has something to say to you." Wang Jiuzhi stroked Ruixue's pigtails and said softly, "Dad, a big man, can't take care of you, what kind of hair do you want to comb, Dad can't do it, and I don't know what color clothes you should wear to look good." But Dad, as long as you're happy. If you are willing to stay in the Zhao family and like the garden here, Dad will stay until you want to leave here. If you don't like someone to be a mother, your father won't marry you, as long as you're happy. ”

Rui Xue gradually raised her head from Wang Jiuzhi's arms, she looked at Wang Jiuzhi with some surprise, she didn't say anything, how did her father know, how did he know that he was struggling with this.

Wang Jiuzhi looked at her and took her into his arms again, just quietly holding her.

There are two ways to make sweet and sour pork ribs, one is to fry the ribs and pour the sauce on them; The other is boiled slowly, and I think the former is more delicious, because the latter will feel that the meat is very dead, very hard, and has a bad taste.

The sugar of sweet and sour pork ribs must be in moderation, or there will be no faint bitterness.
