Chapter 10: The People of the Town
In the eyes of others, Xia Qingqing has a withdrawn personality, and some people even think that she is a heartless child, but he can be regarded as having watched Xia Qingqing grow up since he was a child, and his understanding of Xia Qingqing is not much worse than Zhang Meijuan.
Xia Qingqing actually said a little less, but he was a very good person, and he would usually take the initiative to help when he saw him busy, and he knew in his heart that this was a cold-faced and hot-hearted child, and he was even more distressed by her.
"Thank you Uncle Zhang for your concern, I know!" Xia Qingqing replied with a smile, are the people here so enthusiastic?
"Okay, you just know, by the way, where are you going? Your mom seems to have gone out just now! Zhang Taoming saw Zhang Meijuan go out just now, and the two said a few words just now.
"I just went out for a walk, I was a little bored after a day in the house, and I'll be back soon!" Of course, Xia Qingqing understands that this is Zhang Taoming who cares about her, and it seems that the people here are really good.
Zhang Taoming nodded, someone just took soy sauce to pay for it, so he didn't tell Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing saw that he was busy, nodded to him, and continued to walk forward, meeting several people who greeted her along the way, at the beginning she felt good when she met an Uncle Zhang, but she was a little overwhelmed when she met so many people along the way, she had almost never said so many words before.
Life in the palace is very boring, and it is impossible for the palace maids and eunuchs to have anything to say to her, because they are different from each other, and the lives of the palace maids and eunuchs are in the hands of them, so the palace maids and eunuchs have always been trembling when serving them.
Her personal palace maid Xiao Lu has served her for more than ten years, but she can talk to her, but Xiao Lu has always been a palace maid, and she is still clearly divided in her heart, so the two don't have much to say, but Xiao Lu is indeed a very loyal person, she married a foreign family, she originally planned not to take Xiao Lu to go, after all, she may be able to take care of herself in the past, let alone protect Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu stayed in the palace to follow the concubine who raised her, presumably it would not be far off, and there was no need to follow her to a strange country to leave her hometown.
But Midori disagreed, and she knelt in front of her and begged her to take her with her, saying that she was her person all her life, and that she would go with the princess wherever she went.
Xiao Lu's determination is very strong, saying that if the princess does not agree, she would rather die on the pillar, in the face of Xiao Lu's loyalty, she can only sigh heavily, she is not a good official, and how can she be worthy of Xiao Lu's loyalty to her.
"Since you have decided, then this palace can only promise you, you can go with me!"
She will try her best to take care of Xiao Lu, fortunately, she and her pro-national harem don't have so many struggles, in fact, it's not nothing, it's just that she doesn't participate, plus she is a princess of Heqin, as long as she doesn't commit an unforgivable sin, the emperor won't touch her, so she just needs to carry it herself to live well.
Later, she went to the emperor's funeral, she doesn't know what happened to Xiaolu in the end, presumably no one in the palace should embarrass her, for her sake.
Xia Qingqing sighed, mortals are just prone to sentimentality, she is now just a mortal who has lived for two lifetimes, and the world of immortals is far away from her.
Xia Qingqing walked around the town and found that everyone here had a smile on their faces, and it seemed that they were living a life of peace and contentment, hundreds of times better than the previous society, and it would not be a loss to live in this society for a lifetime.
Although Xia Qingqing's classmates think she has a very withdrawn personality, but in the eyes of those grandparents in the town, Xia Qingqing is a good child, filial piety, good academic performance, kindness, plus Zhang Meijuan is a teacher in the town, and most of the teachers are also children in the town, most of them are admired and grateful to the teacher, plus the two mothers and daughters have no father, everyone loves her even more.
Everyone treats her as their own child, and Xia Qingqing, who has always been a man of few words, will say a few more words in the face of uncles, aunts, and grandparents in the town.
"Qingqing, did you come out to buy groceries today? I heard you weren't feeling well yesterday? Today I killed a very strong pig, this pig heart I specially set aside for you, I was planning to call your mother, let her come back to take it back and steam it for you to make up for it, now that you are here, I can save some phone bills. ”
Li De is one of the stall owners who sell pork in the town, to say that the town of selling pork is estimated to be the best business in his stall, usually the pig is sold in less than an hour after it is killed, like the pig heart, someone will usually book in advance, but today he set it aside himself.
As for who to set it aside, needless to say, Xia Qingqing was standing in front of him.
"Uncle De, I just came out for a walk, and my body is fine, but I didn't expect everyone to know that I was uncomfortable." Xia Qingqing really didn't expect that she just didn't get up for a day, the people in the town basically knew, everyone she met today asked about her physical condition, and she was sick and dying in the previous life, only her father's edict eunuch brought someone over to express her father's care, and as for the father himself, he had never been to her bedroom.
The concubine who raised her came to see her several times, and she had some feelings for that concubine, but as for the father, she didn't know it herself.
Li De took the pig-killing knife and neatly chopped a bone, and then handed it to the guest who came to buy pork: "Thirty pieces, no more, no less!" ”
"Okay, Li De is still cheap pork here, if you go to other polder towns to buy it, it will definitely cost forty yuan, and I will help you in the future!"
"I'm also making small profits but quick turnover, everyone is a neighbor, I'm doing business with a conscience, if I think it's okay, I'll just come to help next time." Li De took a red banknote handed over by the other party, then retrieved the change and handed it to the other party, and only after the guest left did he talk to Xia Qingqing again.
"Qingqing, you wait here for a while, I'll go in and take out the pig's heart for you!" Li De's stall is open next to the door of his house, and behind the pork stall is his home, which left Xia Qingqing's pig heart, which he naturally kept fresh in the refrigerator.
Xia Qingqing walked in when she saw Li De finish speaking, she didn't care about her answer at all, she felt a little helpless for the first time, it was the helplessness of happiness, these are all novel experiences, and she can be regarded as understanding the true meaning of a word, and it is difficult to be gracious.
