When Aoki returned home, he saw Zhao San and his mother-in-law sitting in their courtyard with small stones, talking to their father and mother from a distance.

Zhao San saw Aoki and greeted warmly: "Aoki, what are you doing?" ”

Aoki smiled and replied, "I'm going to the village." Then he glanced at Zhao San and his family with puzzled eyes - this family is all at their own house, isn't there something wrong?

Zhao San saw that he was confused, and grinned: "Shi Niang and I brought this kid to thank Chrysanthemum for coming." If it weren't for the chrysanthemums that day, our stones would be gone. After these days, there were many things at home, and the stone went back and fell ill again. ”

Only then did Aoki understand. Seeing that his father was rubbing the hemp rope, he also brought a small bench and sat down to help, while listening to a few people's homely work.

Yang was gossiping with Shi Niang while holding the soles of his shoes.

Xiao Shi approached the chrysanthemum who was picking peanuts with a little fear, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Sister Chrysanthemum, what are you doing with these peanuts?" ”

Well! There is growth, and there is no longer called "leper girl". It seems that when he was at home, Daddy Shi told him a lot.

Chrysanthemum glanced at him and said, "Pick out this big and plump one to sell and seed, and fry it small and shriveled to eat." ”

"Oh!" Xiao Shi heard her say this, and also helped pick it up.

He remembered when he was at home, his father and mother told him, looked up at Chrysanthemum, and said, "Sister Chrysanthemum, it's hard for you to save me that day." I dried those dried fish myself! It was dried in a sieve, not stained with dust, and everything was clean. ”

Zhao San's family really brought ten catties of dried fish this time, as well as some honey and pastries.

Chrysanthemum saw him with a tiger's head, his eyes and bones turned straight, he was very spirited, and he couldn't help but love it. After thinking about it, he got up and went to the kitchen, and walked out with two stoneware pots in his arms. He took out a basket of baskets, took out his own kang incense pot from one jar, and some braised peanuts from the other jar, put them on the plate, and handed them to the small stone.

Little Stone had been staring at her unblinking eyes when she came out with the jar in her arms. When the chrysanthemum opened the jar, the fragrance of the pot and braised peanuts wafted out, and I couldn't help but salivate on my cheeks.

At this time, seeing Chrysanthemum handing the plate to herself, it was unprecedented, her little face was red, and she was stunned for a while, but she still couldn't resist the fragrance of those two things, and while reaching out to take it, she smirked shyly at Chrysanthemum, "Thank you, Sister Chrysanthemum!" ”

When Xiaoshi couldn't wait to chew the pot "Quack, Quack", and from time to time twisted a peanut and put it in his mouth, and ate it happily, the rich fragrance also attracted several adults.

"Ouch! What is this, why is it so fragrant? Shi Niang sniffled curiously, and when she saw her son chewing constantly, she couldn't help but reach out and pick up a piece of pot and put it in her mouth.

When Xiao Shi saw it, he hurriedly turned around, bowed his waist and protected the plate in his arms, preventing his mother from taking it again.

I also have the pot at home, but Sister Chrysanthemum's pot is obviously different, I don't know what to put in it, salty and relish, crispy and crispy; And the peanuts are too, they are really fragrant, but you can't let others eat them anymore, there are not many miles on the plate!

His actions made everyone laugh, the little baby always loves food!

Zhao San deliberately shouted loudly: "Stone, what are you eating?" I don't give my dad a taste, what's the use of raising you! ”

Xiao Shi's mouth didn't stop, his eyes rolled, and he reluctantly took a small piece of pot and ran over to hand it to his father, and said: "This is given to me by Sister Chrysanthemum, what the little baby eats, adults can't eat it well!" ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, and even Chrysanthemum couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

"You eat less! If you eat too much of this, you have to drink a lot of water, and maybe your stomach will hurt. I'll pack some for you later and take it home, you eat slowly, you can't eat too much at a time! Chrysanthemum warned Xiao Shidao that he was afraid that if he ate bad stomach, then a good thing would turn into a bad thing.

When Shi Shi heard that he was asked to take some home, his eyes immediately lit up, and he obediently agreed, slowing down the speed of chewing the pot.

Shi Niang was amazed and asked Yang: "Why is this pot so fragrant?" ”

Yang glanced at the chrysanthemum lovingly, and said: "It's not a chrysanthemum yet, she grinded the dried shrimp, boiled the sauce, and brushed a layer when the kang pot was cooked, can it be fragrant!" The peanuts were also boiled out with star anise, dried chilies, dried shrimps, dried chrysanthemums, and leftover bone broth. Pity my chrysanthemum herself, but she can't eat these things. Busy, let us eat. Her dad likes it! The chrysanthemums are delicious, and he has to drink more wine, which is a waste of money! ”

Yang first looked at the chrysanthemum proudly, regretting in his heart that if it weren't for that face, how many people would have begged for his daughter; Then he glanced at her husband resentfully, the girl's food was delicious, and her father drank more often, isn't it a waste of money!

Zheng Changhe grinned happily. If you want to talk about chrysanthemum's cooking skills, it is getting better and better, he eats more at every meal, and he is hungry for wine more often, no wonder the baby is unhappy!

Shi Niang saw Yang's expression and understood her feelings, so she comforted: "Chrysanthemum is so capable, she will definitely get a good result." Then he asked, "Why can't you eat chrysanthemums for this delicious thing?" ”

Yang sighed, turned his head and talked about the sauce: "That shrimp chrysanthemum hurts on the face when you eat it, and you can't eat more salty and spicy things." Later, you can scoop some sauce and take it back, and eat it on the kang pot as I said, and use it to cook fish! ”

Before Shi Niang squeaked, Zhao San's voice sounded: "Scoop some and bring it, scoop some of it!" What is polite to sister-in-law Changhe! This tastes good, I still want to eat it, but my son won't let me. Get some and make them yourself at home, and you can do more. At that time, I won't rob the stone from my father, right? ”

Everyone laughed.

The pot that Xiao Shi ate also began to swell in his stomach - as the saying goes, one bowl of pot and three bowls of rice, that is to say, after the pot is soaked, it is three times the size of rice, and this thing is very full, so Shi felt that his stomach was swollen.

He "kicked" to Zhao San, gave the bamboo plate into his arms, and said, "Let's eat it for you!" ”

The gaze is very disdainful - adults are still so greedy!

Zhao San handed Zheng Changhe a piece of pot, while eating it himself, and then handed the plate to Aoki, and asked with a smile: "Why are you willing to give it now?" ”

Shi Niang smiled: "His stomach is swollen." How else can I give it to you? ”

Xiaoshi squatted down to Chrysanthemum again and said to her, "Sister Chrysanthemum, I will go to school in two days." Even the master and son have been found in the village! Now he feels a lot closer to Chrysanthemum, and he is not so afraid of her face.

When Zheng Changhe heard it, he remembered that Aoki went to the village chief's house, and hurriedly asked Aoki: "Have you asked the village chief, is it true?" How much does that bundle cost? ”

Aoki relayed what the village chief said to his father and Chrysanthemum, and said that he would go to help repair the ancestral hall early tomorrow morning.

When Zhao San heard this, he estimated that Aoki was also going to school, so he said, "Alas, this is the baby in the village who has caught up." We didn't have that great opportunity when we were kids. Aoki, read it well, maybe you can earn a show before you come back! ”

When Shi heard this, he hurriedly said to Aoki: "Brother Aoki, I'll sit with you when the time comes." ”

Aoki was embarrassed, but after listening to Xiaoshi's words, his face turned red again, thinking that he would be sitting in the middle of a group of "Xiaoshi" at that time, and he was very depressed!

Zheng Changhe said repeatedly: "Ming'er, go ahead, I have me at home!" Well, I'll go to the market in a few days and buy some paper and pencils and come back. How can you do it without pen and ink? ”

The Yang family calculated in his heart how much money he had to pay, how much it would cost to buy pen, ink and paper, how much money he had to spend at home, and he had to ask the matchmaker to go to Liujiatang to explore Liu Fugui's tone, alas, money was needed everywhere!

Shi Niang also said that she wanted to buy pen and ink on the set, she made an appointment with Yang, and got up to say goodbye.

Yang really scooped a small jar of sauce for her to carry, and Chrysanthemum put the remaining pot and peanuts into a clean cloth bag and handed them to Xiaoshi!

This kid was very happy when he got something to eat, and when he left, he said loudly to Chrysanthemum: "Sister Chrysanthemum, I'll come and play with you when I'm free!" ”

Chrysanthemum wants to laugh and play with herself? With such a big age difference between the two, how to play? I'm afraid I want to see what else is delicious!

Looking back at the plate beside Aoki, I felt unlucky—I couldn't eat the small food I had worked so hard to make. The family is poor, the materials are limited, and there are not many places for her to perform.

Alas! Looking at the yellow pot, she swallowed her saliva, and she couldn't wait to eat her fill regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one. Think about that face, forget it - it's terrifying enough, if you get blood and pus again, I'm afraid that even the family won't dare to look at you.

Shi Niang took Yang's hand and walked for a long time before whispering to her: "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious. Chrysanthemums are still small! I quietly inquired, and when I saw that there was someone who was honest and didn't pay attention to looks, I asked someone to talk to the matchmaker. Chrysanthemum is so capable, she will definitely be able to find a good family. ”

She saved her son because of the chrysanthemum, and now she looks at the chrysanthemum to see which is good, and she is very unhappy for the fate of the chrysanthemum!

Yang said to her gratefully, "Then I thank my sister." If there is a sincere person, of course it is better to marry; If people dislike my chrysanthemums, I don't want to get married! Her father and I were reluctant to let Chrysanthemum be angry, thinking that if we couldn't find a good family, we wouldn't get married, and we would live like a daughter. ”

Shi Niang's heart was sour when she heard this-she was also a person with a heavy heart for children, and said repeatedly: "No, no!" He comforted the Yang family carefully before chasing after the two in front of him.
