Both sisters couldn't help but swallow their throats.

Seeing that the roast chicken is about to be eaten......

"Girl, what are you doing here?"

Sheng Qingqing: "...... Fourth uncle? ”

As soon as she looked up, she saw an acquaintance standing outside-Uncle Sheng.

Fourth Uncle Sheng nodded at her, which was regarded as a greeting. But those eyes didn't look at her at all.

The target he looked at seemed to be - roast chicken?!

Fourth Uncle Sheng, who used to have a grim expression and a cold face, seemed to have changed as if he had changed a person, although there was still no expression on his face, but the way he looked at the courtyard had completely betrayed him.

At this moment, Sheng Zhizhi suddenly had an infinite sense of crisis in his heart. The roast chicken that I can finally eat in my mouth, is it going to run away?!

Sheng Zhizhi felt that she definitely couldn't stand this grievance!

Sheng Qingqing was much calmer, although she also felt a little strange in her heart, but her face was still appropriate, and she said softly: "Fourth uncle, I'm roasting chicken." ”

"Oh, roast chicken." Fourth Uncle Sheng, who had not been smiling in the past, looked a little dazed at this time, he seemed to be echoing Sheng Qingqing's words, but those eyes never took off the roast chicken.

Sheng Qingqing: "......"

This is just a very ordinary roast chicken, and because of the time, even the marinating is not very delicious, why does Uncle Sheng look like he has seen the peerless deliciousness?

Sheng Qingqing was puzzled.

But she was also embarrassed to let the elders just stand outside and watch. He could only look at Sheng Zhizhi's complaining eyes and asked tentatively: "It's about to be baked, does the fourth uncle want to taste it?" ”

Under normal circumstances, with Uncle Sheng's unsmiling and unloving character of being close to others, if others want to invite him to eat, nine out of ten will be refused.

But now as soon as Sheng Qingqing spoke, she saw that Fourth Uncle Sheng did not hesitate at all.

"Then I'll be cheeky and give it a taste."

Sheng Qingqing: "......" She really wondered if Fourth Uncle Sheng was possessed by a monster.

Isn't it the "monster" who imitated her voice before?

Over there, Uncle Sheng had already pushed open the courtyard door and walked in with square steps. His steps were as steady as ever, and it was not clear whether he was impatient or not.

The two sisters were originally sitting around the fire pit, but as an elder, Uncle Sheng was naturally not on an equal footing with the two sisters. Sheng Qingqing asked Fourth Uncle Sheng to sit at the stone table over there.

"It's almost right, Fourth Uncle, please wait for a while."

Sheng Zhizhi pursed her mouth, and also went to sit down at the stone table, and then made room for Sheng Fourth Uncle.

After another moment, in the fragrant courtyard, the roast chicken roasted until golden brown was finally ready to eat.

Sheng Qingqing went to the kitchen to get a knife and carefully untied the roast chicken. Her meat cutting technique is also specially learned, and she is very skilled in learning from Peking duck.

The flesh separates, but in the blink of an eye.

Looking at a plate full of roast chicken with golden and crispy skin and tender and juicy inside, Uncle Sheng, who has always been moody, couldn't help but praise it.

"Miss Qing is really a good craft!"

Sheng Qingqing pretended to smile shyly, "Fourth uncle, let's eat it while it's hot." ”

"You eat together!"

Sheng Qingqing just wanted to refuse. Juniors can't skip the elders to eat first, this is the rule of these years, although there are only three of them in the courtyard now, and Uncle Sheng is not the kind of person who can talk a lot. But there are so many people in the village, it's hard to guarantee that people won't be seen inadvertently and spread out.

"It's okay!"

Fourth Uncle Sheng is not an eyeless person, he was originally a person who came to eat and drink, how could he occupy the magpie's nest and eat by himself, and let Sheng Qingqing's sisters watch it.

"If there is such a mouthful of people spreading nonsense, you let him come to me!"

Even if he is withdrawn and does not communicate with many people, Fourth Uncle Sheng is still extremely prestigious in Shengjia Village. Sheng Qingqing didn't know the reason, but she knew that as long as it wasn't a big deal, most of the people in the village were willing to give Uncle Sheng a face.

So he does have the confidence to say this.

Hearing Fourth Uncle Sheng say this, Sheng Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's eat together!"

Sheng Zhizhi immediately cheered and couldn't wait to get the chicken to eat. She just saw Uncle Sheng, and she thought that today's roast chicken could only eat other people's leftovers, but she didn't expect that it could be eaten while it was hot now.

Fourth Uncle Sheng's speed is not far behind, but he still maintains the majesty of an elder, and compared with Sheng Zhizhi's anxiety, he still seems polite.

"Delicious!"

"The skin is crispy in the mouth, but the meat is tender and juicy, and the combination makes it more delicious." Uncle Sheng's praise is also very literary.

Compared with them, Sheng Qingqing is low-key.

She wasn't particularly hungry either, and after eating a few bites of chicken and feeling half full, she put down her chopsticks.

"There's still tea in the kitchen, I'll bring it."

But the other two couldn't lift their heads to eat, and they only had time to answer perfunctorily twice, and they didn't have time to talk to her at all.

Sheng Qingqing smiled and got up to go to the kitchen to serve tea.

The tea is still the kind that Chen Ning drank last time, and the tea leaves are coarse and shallow tea, but in the stream water where the tea was made this time, Sheng Qingqing did not add spring water.

It's not that Fourth Uncle Sheng is not as important as Chen Ning. It's really that she doesn't want the people of Shengjia Village to know that their Sheng family has secrets. Although Uncle Sheng is a strict person, but the effect of the spring water is really a little too good, if his old man drinks the tea made from this spring water today, Sheng Qingqing dares to pack a ticket, Sheng Si will definitely be alive tomorrow, and his spirit is like a young man.

There are many people in the village, even if Uncle Sheng can't speak, but if people observe more, they can find that it is because they have eaten at their Sheng family.

In these years, people are superstitious, if they let the people in the village know that they can eat a little food in their Sheng family, they will become vigorous, and they will either worship them as gods or monsters.

Left and right is not a good thing!

So Sheng Qingqing was very cautious and came out with a pot of ordinary tea.

Although the roast chicken is delicious, but if you eat too much, you are also a little greasy, and this tea is light and mild, which is suitable for relieving greasyness.

"Miss Qing is really careful." Uncle Sheng Si drank ordinary tea and didn't notice anything wrong.

In fact, he thinks it's good to be able to drink tea. Tea is very expensive in these years, and a family can bring tea when meeting guests, and the hospitality is already very good.

Not to mention this delicious roast chicken.

Fourth Uncle Sheng was very satisfied, and even his face, which had been stiff, softened a little.

In contrast, Sheng Zhizhi looked at the teapot in surprise after taking a sip of tea. Of course, Sheng Qingqing will not treat her family badly, so Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming have been drinking space spring water for the past two months.

Although they couldn't tell how much the spring water was good because of their young age, they knew that the spring water was good for the body and tasted very good, so they drank it very diligently. In addition, Sheng Qingqing did not restrict them, so in the past two months, Sheng Zhizhi and Sheng Siming have successfully distinguished the spring water from the ordinary stream water.

Sheng Zhizhi keenly found that there was no taste of spring water in the pot of tea he drank today.

But she glanced at the smile on Sheng Qingqing's face, and then at the fourth uncle Sheng who was full of satisfaction over there, and cleverly hid the doubts in her heart.

"How does the fourth uncle feel about it?" Sheng Qingqing asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes!" Fourth Uncle Sheng praised him and said, "I knew that you had this skill, and the fourth uncle introduced you to the town to do work." At least this number per month! ”

He held out a slap and spread his fingers.

This is the meaning of five coins.

Sheng Qingqing smiled and didn't care, "It's not bad now, I'm working for the Cheng family, although it's not fixed, but I also have a lot of income every time." ”

When people from ten miles and eight villages mentioned the Cheng family, their tones were full of awe and fear. But Fourth Uncle Sheng is worthy of being the most withdrawn and unsociable person in Shengjia Village, and he thinks completely differently from others.

He even supported Sheng Qingqing.

"Very good, although the Cheng family is far away, the Cheng family's assets are innumerable, and they are very generous, and I haven't heard of rumors of mistreating people, you still have younger siblings to take care of at home, it's really suitable to go to the Cheng family."

Sheng Qingqing nodded with a smile, and casually told Sheng Siming about going to Cheng's house to study. Sure enough, Fourth Uncle Sheng also agreed with this very much.

"Boys, if you have the conditions, you still have to study early, and getting fame is the best way to reach the sky." Speaking of taking the test for fame, Fourth Uncle Sheng's eyes showed a little gloom.

I heard that in the early years, Uncle Sheng was also a well-known talent, the kind that ranked first in the academy every exam, and everyone praised him at that time, and he was very hopeful of showing off his talents in the examination. However, I don't know what happened to miss that fate. And since then, Fourth Uncle Sheng has never been on the scene.

That incident happened too early, the original owner was not born at that time, but there was no relevant memory, so Sheng Qingqing didn't know the specific situation. She saw Fourth Uncle Sheng's gloomy expression at this time, and quickly diverted the topic.

"By the way, Fourth Uncle, all the uncles and brothers in the village have been very busy these days, but there is a trace of Brother Xiaoyu?"

Although Sheng Qingqing doesn't plan to care about this matter, she is idle, and she is really a little curious, and the most important thing is that at this time, Uncle Sheng, who is full of food and drink, looks very easy to talk, and he will be willing to tell her the cause and effect? !

saw that Fourth Uncle Sheng glanced at her, looking thoughtful.

Sheng Qingqing was suddenly a little nervous.

"If you really want to know, it doesn't hurt to tell you." Fourth Uncle Sheng seemed to be talking to himself, and muttered in a low voice: "It's only been these two years, and it's almost the age of the year." ”

Sheng Qingqing was a little dazed when she heard this.

Fourth Uncle Sheng said again: "Zhizhi can't know about this." ”

Sheng Zhizhi: "...... What the? "She's the one who really looks confused.

I haven't understood anything since just now.

"Zhizhi is not yet old enough to listen to this." Fourth Uncle Sheng repeated.
