"What money!"

A shout came from the crowd.

Then, an old man dressed in a long shirt with a serious and energetic face slowly walked out of the crowd.

Shu Nuan looked at the person who came and shouted in surprise: "Master, why are you here?" ”

Wu Qirong looked her up and down, frowned, and asked in a stern tone: "What, I can't come yet?" ”

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant."

Shu Nuan looked at the energetic old man and smiled with a bend of his eyebrows.

She originally thought that she would have to wait for the injury on her leg to heal before she could go to see the master, but now that the other party took the initiative to come, she had no reason to be unhappy.

In fact, for the master's long-standing face, she only felt scared when she was young.

In the later relationship, she knew that the master was just habitually keeping a straight face. On weekdays, in addition to being strict with her cooking skills, she is actually very talkative and always protects her everywhere.

Wu Qirong took a deep look at her before turning his gaze to the other people in the courtyard.

Although the villagers had been watching for a while, no one took the initiative to enter the courtyard, so the people in the courtyard were still the same people as before, except for Wu Qirong, who had just walked in.

Under Wu Qirong's cold gaze, Niu Chunhua, who was still unrelenting, shrank her neck in fear, and when she reacted to what she had just done, she raised her head and glared defiantly.

Wu Qirong narrowed his eyes slightly, and stepped forward to the middle of several people.

"Okay, now who's going to tell me what's going on?"

As soon as Wu Qirong's words fell, Shu Rou was about to step forward to confront him, but Shu Xue on the side reached out and grabbed it, covering her second sister's mouth.

"Hmm...... Why are you ......?"

Shu Rou struggled away and shouted dissatisfiedly.

Shu Xue rolled her eyes, almost despairing of her brainless second sister: "Shut up, now is not the time for you to speak." ”

At this time, Niu Chunhua also waved her hand to Shu Rou: "Rourou, don't intervene." ”

Shu Rou looked back and forth at her two relatives, and wiped her face blankly.

Obviously, when I was at home, I said that I would come and get the money today, and I must get the money, why did everyone else suddenly change their minds when it came to the end.

At this point, her brain was a little insufficient, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

After muttering quietly for a while, the three of them had plans to leave temporarily.

However, Wu Qirong was not ready to let these people leave so easily, so he directly stepped forward to block the way of several people.

"Why, you're going to leave before you finish speaking? You were talking about money, what money? Tell me about it. ”

"Old man Wu, this is my own business, you can't take care of it."

Niu Chunhua snorted lightly, and walked out in a bit of a panic, looking like she obviously didn't want to stay any longer.

"Stop me."

As soon as Wu Qirong's words of scolding fell, the people over there couldn't wait to start running away.

Shu Nuan looked at the people who were obviously deserted and fled, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

In fact, she also couldn't understand that Niu Chunhua would be afraid of the master, after all, the two had almost no intersection.

After Niu Chunhua ran away in a panic, Shu Rou and Shu Xue, who followed her, naturally followed her and left.

And the villagers who were watching also turned around and left in twos after saying a few words of concern to Shu Nuan.

Shu Nuan saw that everyone was gone, so he came to Wu Qirong's side slowly.

"Master......"

Wu Qirong glanced at her lightly, and then frowned.

"Look at what you look like now, you're still running around with a limp, go back and rest for me."

Shu Nuan listened to the master's awkward concern, with a hint of warmth in her heart, but the tip of her nose was faintly sour, and her eyes gradually turned red.

It stands to reason that she should greet her master happily after seeing her.

However, she was naturally happy in her heart a moment ago, but at this moment, after knowing that she had someone to help her, the grievances that had been suppressed in her heart all exploded in an instant.

"Master, Master......"

Whether in the past or in the future, she has to admit that the other party has always been the pillar of her life and soul.

After she came back, although she saw her grandmother and younger brother, these two people were in a position of being protected by herself in her heart, and only the master was the person she could rely on.

Wu Qirong looked at the crying tone in his voice, whether he wanted to cry or not, let out a long sigh, stretched out his calloused hand and gently stroked the top of her hair.

"Master, woo......"

Shu Nuan didn't hold back in the end, letting the tears blur his eyes.

Wu Qirong is not a person who can comfort people, so after facing Shu Nuan's current appearance, he had to pat the other party's shoulder silently and accompany him quietly.

And Wu Huihong, who was watching all this from the side, had thought in her eyes, and did not come forward to disturb the communication between the master and apprentice.

A few minutes later.

After Shu Nuan finished venting, the uneasiness that had been haunting her heart gradually dissipated.

She wiped the tears from her face, thinking about what she had just done, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

"Okay, it's cold, let's go inside and sit." Wu Huihong reminded softly, and then beckoned to Wu Qirong behind her: "Master Wu, you can also come into the house and sit for a while, drink a cup of tea and then leave." ”

"Hmm."

Wu Qirong glanced at the other party and replied in a deep voice.

In the old hall of the Shu family, Shu Nuan and Wu Qirong sat down face to face.

"Sit down first, and I'll pour you water."

Wu Huihong greeted and walked slowly towards the house.

There is also some jasmine tea at home, although it is not only generally good, but it is also completely enough to greet guests at home in the countryside.

After only the master and apprentice were left in the hall, Shu Nuan quietly raised his eyes and glanced at the master, not knowing what to say for a while.

Seeing her like this, Wu Qirong frowned slightly and said, "You have been recuperating at home recently, and don't go to work." ”

"Master, I've quit my job."

After Shu Nuan replied like this, Wu Qirong bowed slightly.

"Yes, the body is important. If you lack anything, tell me that the master has saved some money for so many years. ”

"Master, I'm ......"

Shu Nuan was about to say no, but Wu Qirong stood up directly and stuffed the things in his pocket into her hands.

"You take the money first, and then tell me when it's not enough."

Shu Nuan looked at the black plastic bag in his hand, stunned for a moment. When she reacted, she hurriedly refused: "Master, I can't ask for this money, I have money in my hand, it's enough." ”

"If you take it, take it, take care of your injuries, and you can earn it again when the money is gone. Keep your own money to buy things, and remember to buy yourself new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year. ”

Wu Qirong didn't listen to her refusal, and said words of concern with a firm and serious expression.
