Chapter 22: Soft Rice

Out of Osmanthus Alley, Ye Rong told Meiniang a good news, "My father said that he would take the time to go to Ge's house to turn over the ground, and told us not to do it." ”

Belch......

She's also found a good worker, and she's in dire need of performance! Suddenly, I heard the immature sizzling of a puppy.

Ye Rong's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Zheng Feiyang, who was holding lotus leaves as a straw hat, she showed her head behind the tree, and when she saw them, she quickly shrank back.

Now he is a well-known wild child in the town, and in order to fill his stomach, he often goes to other people's fields to steal melons and touch dates, and his reputation is very bad. It's to never provoke former friends, especially girls.

But in the past, he was the best friend of the beautiful girl.

I'm afraid there's something wrong with that, right?

Ye Rong looked at no one on the left and right, "I'm here to take care of the wind for you, go quickly." ”

The beautiful lady slapped her twice to show her gratitude, and ran over quickly.

"Why are you here? I'm looking for you. ”

Before she could finish speaking, two puppies, one yellow and one black, came to her, "Can you feed this dog?" ”

The beautiful girl was stunned.

The young man's thin face showed a little shame, "Yesterday, the big dog scratched my sister, who knew that my mother bought arsenic and bones, and killed the big dog with raw medicine." Fortunately, the puppies are fine, but I don't have anything to eat myself, how do I feed them? ”

The beautiful girl is also worried, now that the catastrophe has just passed, and the family is not rich, who will raise two more mouths?

And it's still such a puppy, and I can't take care of the home, I'm afraid that I will stew it in the pot if I send it.

The boy obviously knew this, and reluctantly put down the puppy that had been hungry for a long time, "Forget it, you two should also ask for more blessings, let's go." Well, I'm gone too. ”

The beautiful lady didn't hear the right voice, "Where are you going?" ”

The young man lowered his eyes and hid his emotions, "I fainted from hunger again yesterday, and if I continue like this, I may not be able to wait until sixteen to become a soldier, and I will starve to death, so I have to find a job to do first." ”

"Stop!" Mei Niang picked up the two puppies, "You come with me, I'll find you a job." It's really not good, no, I can do needlework and get you a bite to eat. ”

The boy was shocked, "You want to raise me?" Then I won't eat soft rice? Don't go! ”

"I'm dying of hunger, and I want to save face!"

The beautiful girl dragged him down, but she didn't have as much strength as him. Seeing that he was about to be freed, he had an idea, "You think I feed you for nothing, I want to be beautiful!" The money has to be repaid, twice as much! ”

She unconsciously imitated Aunt Qiu's expression, which was quite imposing.

Zheng Feiyang said suspiciously, "Do you want to pay back?" Still twice? ”

This doesn't seem to be eating soft rice, but being robbed, right?

"Naturally! Besides, what if there is work? Those who eat soft rice are all little white faces, look at your black ones, who raises them? ”

Touching his dark and dirty little face, Zheng Feiyang felt a little more relieved.

Well, let's take a look.

When the two little girls arrived at Ge's house today, they showed a little bit of concern.

Aunt Qiu squinted her eyes and sent Aunt Ge to buy vegetables first.

Ye Rong stared at it and didn't dare to squeak.

The beautiful girl was ruthless, and she handed over the trick head-on, and wanted to ask for it.

Aunt Qiu didn't give a chance.

Waving her hand to silence her, she picked up the pen and ink and began to sketch.

The beautiful girl couldn't, so she had to take Ye Rong out to wash her clothes.

By the way, he also took a hoe and handed it out to work for others.

Aunt Qiu looked coldly in the room, snorted softly, and didn't say much.

waited until Aunt Ge came back from shopping for vegetables, and was surprised.

"Yo, who's this? Turned over all the vegetable patches. Ah, it's flying! ”

The beautiful lady helped to show her skills, "The water tank is also filled by him." ”

Aunt Qiu came out of the back room, swept over with a cold face, and unexpectedly caught a glimpse of two round little milk dogs.

I'm helping to pick up dead branches and stones and throw them away, and I'm so diligent!

"Yikes! Where did the puppy come from? ”

The beautiful girl said with a weak heart, "The two of them have no mother." Well, Brother Fei, he is really ......"

"Ouch, look at this dirty. Grab some hot water and give them a bath. Aunt Qiu completely ignored people, and there were only two dogs in her eyes.

While disgusted, he went into the house to find clean old clothes.

Gotta wipe the dog.

asked Aunt Ge again, "Have you bought meat and bones today?" Otherwise, what will they eat in a while? ”

this

Just agree to stay?

Several teenagers and girls widened their eyes, and Aunt Ge scolded with a smile, "I bought a pair of pork belly today, do they dare to dislike it?" ”

Aunt Qiu snorted coldly, "Then why don't you hurry up and stew it?" Look at this stingy look. ”

Aunt Ge ignored her with a smile and went to cook by herself.

The beautiful lady chased after her and wanted to explain, but Aunt Ge waved her hand.

"You two little girls are okay, those half-grown children, eat poor old men. I come to work but I don't have any money, three meals a day, and I just take care of the food. ”

That's all they want!

The beautiful lady was moved and apologetic, "I'm sorry, auntie, for causing you trouble." Why don't you deduct it from my salary when there is work to do in the future? ”

"Phew!" Aunt Qiu came out of her old clothes, stood outside the kitchen and heard it, and scolded again, "Does that kid have no arms or legs?" I want you to raise. Hey, you have so much kindness, why don't you feed it to the dogs? ”

The beautiful girl was scolded.

Aunt Qiu trained Zheng Feiyang, who was in full swing, again, "Hey, boy, do you want a girl to raise?" ”

No!

Zheng Fei raised his head and shook it like a rattle, "My father said that the men of our old Zheng family would rather die of poverty and starvation than eat soft rice!" ”

Aunt Qiu was satisfied, and said disgustedly, "Look at this body, tsk, it's dirtier than a dog." If you don't wash it for a while, you won't be allowed to enter the house! ”

After saying that, he shook him with a big white eye, and wore clean old clothes, and then commanded Ye Rong to bathe the puppy.

Aunt Ge smiled lowly, "Don't be afraid of your Aunt Qiu, she has a bad mouth." ”

The beautiful girl's black eyes were slightly moist, "I know." She and her aunt are both good people. ”

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked nothing, so he would have taken Zheng Feiyang and his two puppies in.

But even if people don't ask, Meiniang feels that it is necessary for her to explain.

"It's Brother Xiaofei, who taught me to read and write."

Everyone thinks that Lin Junren is a child, and Lin Peng has read books for so many years, and the beautiful girl must have learned from her father and brother.

But it's not.

It was Zheng Feiyang, who had no blood, who saw Xiao Meiniang's thirst for reading, and her father and brother refused to teach, so they went to school in a hurry.

Until his father passed away, whenever he went to school for a day, he would come back to teach Meiniang for a day.

It never stops.

I was young and ignorant before, and the beautiful girl didn't realize how big this was.

It wasn't until she fell into the water and entered the Han Palace, and she was looked down upon by Ruigu and everyone just by virtue of her literacy, that Meiniang realized how much kindness she had received.

There are not many literate people in the palace. How many girls in the world can read and write?

So the little girl is thinking about this friendship, and she must repay it.

Aunt Ge suddenly wanted to touch her head, but her hands were full of oil, so she could only smile, "You are also a good boy, Auntie looks at it." Your Aunt Qiu, I don't know how many people she has helped in this life, and she has also suffered a lot...... Hey, let's not talk about it. You go and mix some cornmeal batter, and at noon we will cook more vegetable cakes and eat them with soup. ”

This is natural.

With Zheng Feiyang's mouth, where is there enough to eat without adding some coarse grains and vegetables?

I didn't expect that Aunt Qiu was also a person who had suffered hardships.

On the surface, it doesn't look like it.

I don't know any housework, and all kinds of exquisite and exquisite, I thought it was Miss Distress, but it wasn't?

So how did she come up with this style?
