"This is the fourth year we've spent together." Rokuro took her hand and walked slowly with her to the place where the horse was tied outside the town, "In the New Year, I'm afraid we're going to have to pass on the road." However, I didn't think that we would be able to reach the western suburbs before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Settle down in the western suburbs, and when the time comes, I will pick up Mu He, how about it? ”

Hearing Mu He's name, the smile on He Mai's face froze for a moment, and then bloomed a little bigger, "Of course it's good!" I'm going with you to pick up my daughter. ”

This time, under the explanation of Zhong Xiangsi and Xiao Wu, she has learned to sort out her emotions.

In the few nights when Mu He was just sent away, He Mai shed a night of tears every night.

In the past few days, the wheat has been much soothed.

Rokuro finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God, when you talked about your daughter, you finally stopped crying!" ”

"At most, I won't see Mu He for a month, and if I hold on for another month, our family will be reunited," He Mai's voice was still a little melancholy, she seemed to say it to Liulang, and it seemed to be explained to herself.

Liulang stroked her cheek, "Gu Lin and Ruoyun are both very gentle people, they will be very good to Mu He, you can rest assured." ”

He Mai smiled bitterly, "Naturally, it's very good, otherwise, I don't have to worry about putting Mu He with my cousin." ”

The two went all the way back to the post station, Zhong Xiangsi and Yan Xing rested enough, and they were very surprised to see them return with a full load.

"I didn't expect it to be a small year in a blink of an eye, and in previous years, I didn't have much time with your mother. On the day of the march, I have to ask the husband to prepare the stove candy for your mother, otherwise, your mother will not be busy with the festival at all. Yan Xing said with a smile.

"In previous years, Mai'er was not around, and if you weren't there, there would be nothing to do at that festival." Zhong Xiangsi's eyes flashed with love, "But this year is different, our family is reunited, we have to have a good time this festival!" ”

The mother and daughter went to the back hall of the post station with a smile, washing and cutting vegetables in the rented small stove room, the stove room jingled, and after Rokuro came to see it a few times, he saw that there was nothing he could help with, so he simply went to Xiao Er and asked for a larger round table and moved it to the upstairs guest room.

"Sister Hemai, Aunt Acacia." Xiao Wu was a little embarrassed to stand at the door of the small stove room and look at them.

"Little Five, woke up?" He Mai smiled at her, "You look so good in this dress!" ”

The aqua green brocade jacket that He Mai bought in Majia Town earlier was worn on Xiao Wu at this time.

He Mai Xiaowu's height is taller, but the two are about the same size, Xiao Wu is wearing it at the moment, and the girl's shy red face adds a lot of color to this dress.

"Xiao Wu is also handsome, but he is too thin, Auntie will cook two more dishes for you in the evening, you can taste Auntie's craftsmanship!" Zhong Xiangsi said with a smile.

Xiao Wu was very happy, "I didn't know that my aunt also had this craft, Sister Hemai's simple roasted game was so delicious, and my aunt's cooking must be delicious." ”

He Mai couldn't help laughing, pursed his lips and worked silently, without speaking.

If Xiao Wu had seen the food that Zhong Xiangsi made for Hemai in confinement, he would definitely not say what Zhong Xiangsi made delicious.

Xiao Wu didn't understand, and said with a smile: "I think that uncle and brother-in-law are the most blessed, they are so tall and big, they must be very able to eat the food made by my sister and aunt!" ”

Her words were very sincere, but He Mai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhong Xiangsi put down the kitchen knife and said seriously to Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, you haven't married yet, but my aunt will tell you an experience first, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach." As long as you cook a meal for a man when he needs food, it is enough, whether the craftsmanship is good or not, it seems not so early, the important thing is the heart. ”

Xiao Wu looked at Zhong Xiangsi reverently, "Remember, auntie!" ”

Zhong Xiangsi smiled, "Go and call your uncle to come down and serve the food!" ”

Xiao Wu obediently turned upstairs, and He Mai couldn't help but ask Zhong Xiangsi about the source of this "talk of experience".

"Mother, I'm afraid you haven't cooked a few meals, where did you hear this 'talk of experience'?"

"It turns out that when I was in White Night City, I got acquainted with the women in the city, and they told me this," Zhong Xiangsi turned his head triumphantly, "Sometimes I listen to them, and I go to the city to buy some soju and braised beef to treat your father, and your father is very happy every time, and asks me if the beef is made by me." ”

Speaking of this, Zhong Xiangsi pursed his lips, "At this time, I wonder if your father's head is full of strength, I haven't even seen raw beef like anything, how can I make braised beef?" He's weird to look up to me, tsk...... But when he asked, I just answered with the boat. ”

He Mai listened to Zhong Xiangsi's words, and couldn't help laughing, "Mother, you and Dad are so interesting!" I found out that sometimes my father and I can't refute Rokuro's words, but as soon as you come forward, you will scare him with nothing to say. ”

"We've been married for twenty years, what's there to say?" Zhong Xiangsi was straightforward, "However, that's my father-in-law, I can say whatever I want, if someone else says him, I will be the first to knock on his head!" ”

He Mai touched his head and said, "Seeing my mother by my father's side, I'm afraid no one dares to refute my father's words." ”

The wine and food are all on the table, and the table is full of sumptuous dishes, almost all of which are from the hands of He Mai.

Everyone hasn't opened meat for a long time, and seeing these many dishes, the chopsticks almost fight on the plate.

All kinds of herbs were called delicious by everyone, only Xiao Wu stupidly asked Zhong Xiangsi which dish she made.

"This!" Zhong Xiangsi pointed to the steamed sweet potatoes and steamed corn in front of him, "That's what I did!" ”\t

A crack appeared on Xiao Wu's face, "This ......"

"The corn is soft and tender, and the sweet potatoes are sweet and delicious, ma'am, your cooking skills are getting better and better." Yan Xing said very popularly.

Zhong Xiangsi frowned, "Then why don't you eat it?" ”

"I—I'm not drinking...... Yan Xing said dumbly.

"Eat more, even if today is a small year, you can't let your guard down." Zhong Xiangsi snatched Yan Xing's wine glass, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

"Hmmm......"

After eating, He Mai was about to take out the stove candy and share it with everyone, but he only searched for a circle but did not find it.

"I put it in the stable!" He Mai slapped his head, "I'll get it now!" ”

Xiao Wu stood up from the table, "Sister Hemai, let's go with me." ”

He Mai was holding the vegetable soup on the dishes in his hand, and it was indeed inconvenient to go to the stove, so he nodded and said, "Okay, on the burden of the big red horse, you can just go and find it." ”
