Seeing that the man ran away, Xia Ruixi was a little nervous: "He won't be Zhao Mingtao's person, right?" "If Zhao Mingtao, the dog thief, knew that she was back, would he have any bad ideas? He was holding his breath, and he was so bad, who knows what else bad things will happen?

Ou Qingjin also had extreme suspicion that the person was Zhao Mingtao's person, and he quietly protected Xia Ruixi in front: "No." Leave him alone, even if we are not afraid of him. ”

Master Xia and Mrs. Xia greeted them from afar, picked up everyone, and took Da'er over first, looking left and right, and they couldn't close their mouths with joy.

Xia Ruixi didn't follow: "Dad, mother, why did you ignore me when you saw him?" ”

Mrs. Xia hugged Da'er, Master Xia held Xia Ruixi with one hand and Ou Qingjin with the other, and pulled them inside with a smile: "It's all the same, it's all the same, is he small." ”

Ou Qingjin glanced at Xia Ruixi, meaning that if there is a father, there must be a daughter, and even the reason is the same, "Is he young?" ”

Mrs. Xia's eyes were sharp, and when she saw the wine and ham brought by the two, she said, "It's good that people are here, why do you still bring things here?" ”

Ou Qingjin smiled: "My mother must let me bring it, saying that there are good things for everyone to taste together." ”

"That's so polite. We have it, let's take it back later. ”

Xia Ruixi pulled Mrs. Xia's arm and chuckled: "Then what's the matter, there is no reason to take back the things you took out." Originally, there were two jars of wine and two hams, but I only took one of them, and the second elder wouldn't think my girl was extroverted, right? ”

Mrs. Xia gave up her hand and pinched her cheek: "I'll take two wind geese back later, it's just not too fresh, but it's meat anyway, keep it for the New Year." In these days, you can't buy anything with money. ”

After going to see Mrs. Xia, whose dementia was becoming more and more serious, Xia Ruixi's mother and daughter exchanged parenting scriptures, and after Ou Qingjin and Master Xia said a few words, they took Mu Fei to Mu Fei's room to talk.

Ou Qing told me about someone on the road, and discussed with Mu Fei: "If Zhao Mingtao doesn't die for a day, we won't be really safe." This matter needs a process, and before he dies, he must find someone who is strong in martial arts and the right person to protect her. No worries, I can give it a go, do you have the right person to introduce? ”

Mu Fei pondered for a while, and remembered someone: "My senior aunt, she hates this kind of villain who bullies men and women the most in her life, and when I go to beg her, she will definitely be willing." It's just that she has a strange temper, so you have to bear with it when the time comes. ”

Ou Qing asked anxiously: "When are you leaving?" ”

Mu Fei said: "I'll leave tomorrow, and I'll be back in seven or eight days at most." Are you really determined to do that? ”

Ou Qing nodded: "People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, where is our way to live like this?" I thought I had to do it. ”

Xia Ruixi and Mrs. Xia talked about not having a serious wet nurse to help take Da'er, and Mrs. Xia introduced her to a woman surnamed Liao.

This Liao is only in his twenties, and he is the daughter of a housekeeper in the original Xia family's shop, married to a mason. When the war began, her husband was dragged to repair the city wall, but he was killed by a cold arrow, the house leaked and rained overnight, and her two-year-old son fell ill and died, leaving her alone to live on her mother's family.

The Liao family and Mrs. Xia have an old relationship with Zhen'er, and Mrs. Xia learned from Zhen'er that Liao's life will be very difficult after returning to her parents' home. The world is difficult, and after living for a long time, her mother's brothers, daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law began to look at her unpleasantly, always pointing to Sang scolding Huai, and the old man wanted to maintain it but there was no way.

Mrs. Xia said: "The Liao family has nothing to cheat and deceive, it is a serious white family. I have also seen Liao's a few times, clean, clever hands and feet, when she was a girl, she was famous for her filial piety and gentleness, she is now helpless, no worries, and has just lost her child, so it is most suitable for her to take care of Da'er. ”

Xia Ruixi responded: "Then let her come over tomorrow and I'll take a look, and use it for a while to see it first." If it is done well, the salary is negotiable. ”

Mrs. Xia said with a smile: "As long as she is not harsh, so that she can live without relying on her mother's family, and look less at the faces of her brothers and daughters-in-law, she will ask for it, where will she care about so much with you?" ”

While talking, Li Niang came in and reported that lunch was ready.

Lunch is very simple, steamed rice mixed with millet, sorghum and brown rice, a plate of pickles, a plate of fried tofu with yellow frost, a plate of steamed bacon, a small half of smoked chicken, and a large bowl of boiled old pumpkin.

Mrs. Xia said apologetically: "There are no vegetables, the fresh vegetables on the side of the hot spring village have long been spoiled, and the pickles, old pumpkin, and beans for tofu are still hidden before the siege, so I can have a full stomach." ”

Mrs. Xia said politely, but Xia Ruixi guessed based on the behavior of the second boss who put vegetables in their bowls and only dried the rice, and he must have given everything he had.

Originally, there was a shortage of materials in the ancient winter, let alone Xijing, which had just been surrounded by wars for several months? The nearby farmstead had long been ruined by the besieging soldiers, and the transportation was inconvenient, and even if there was something to bring from afar, it would take several days to make it, and even if there was money, it would not be able to buy anything.

Xia Ruixi couldn't bear to eat, he didn't eat meat just for dinner, he always wanted to leave some for Mr. and Mrs. Xia, so that they could eat a few more good meals, people are old and need nutrition.

Seeing that she didn't eat much, Mrs. Xia said disappointedly, "Isn't it delicious?" I remember that you used to love smoked chicken, and this chicken was deliberately left for a long time, is it flavorful? Probably not, it's so cold......" said as he sandwiched a piece of smoked chicken and smelled the smell unchanged.

The little half smoked chicken has also been specially kept for her for so long, and Master Xia and Mrs. Xia are really good to her. Xia Ruixi's nose was sour, and he disguised a piece of chicken in his mouth, and said with a forced smile: "It's delicious, it's that I ate breakfast a little late." "It was the most delicious and best meal she had ever eaten.

As soon as Xia Ruixi eased her emotions, she found that Ou Qingjin was eating very attentively, picking vegetables, picking up rice, without delay, not at all, so angry that she quietly pinched him a lot, why was he so dull? Do you just want to eat for yourself?

Ou Qing ignored her, but instead gave vegetables to Mr. and Mrs. Xia, Xia Ruiyu, Mu Fei, and then to Xia Ruixi: "Yes, delicious dishes, I have never eaten such a delicate dish in the mountains." Eat more today, everybody eat more. He understood what Xia Ruixi meant, but he naturally had his reasons.

Master Xia laughed happily: "If you like it, eat more." He said sadly, "I don't know how your eldest sister is doing in Tokyo?" In Tokyo, the fight must have been fierce, right? If you eat well, you don't ask for it, I just hope that they can live well, that is, God blesses. ”

Mrs. Xia became sad again, and held back her tears and sighed: "Nan'er will definitely be fine." Eat fast! The children finally came back, and you said that these are bad luck! She was worried in her heart, and she didn't know if Xia Ruinan had such a full meal?

Mu Fei said suddenly: "I heard that the garrison lord in Tokyo is the maternal uncle of the new emperor, and he tore his face with the puppet emperor early in the morning and announced that he was on the side of the new emperor. At that time, the puppet emperor had sent a small group of troops around him to attack, but they had already prepared, and because of the remoteness, it was difficult to dispatch a large force to attack, so they did not stop. At present, Tokyo is the safest and most peaceful of these places, so there is no need to worry about them. ”

Xia Ruiyu and Xia Ruixi also persuaded with nonsense: "Yes, if it weren't for the long distance and the chaos of the world, maybe my sister would have asked someone to send a letter a long time ago." ”

Four children, now there are only two people by their side, Xia Ruiyu will be taken away by Mu Fei after the New Year, and there will be empty around the old couple at that time. Master Xia smiled reluctantly, forced himself to suppress the sourness in his heart, and urged the children to eat more.

Out of the gate of Xia's house, taking advantage of his longevity to carry the wind goose given by Mrs. Xia to follow behind, Xia Ruixi lowered his voice and quietly asked Ou Qingjin: "I'll let you eat less, it's better for you, just take care of eating for yourself, why don't you want to leave some for them?" ”

Ou Qing sighed: "Silly girl, how much can we save by saving those two mouths?" They specially make it for you and me to eat, and you and I don't eat it, doesn't it make them more uncomfortable? Didn't you hear your mother say that the half of the smoked chicken was specially reserved for you? If you don't eat, how uncomfortable is your mother? ”

Xia Ruixi stomped his feet and said, "A little bit of saving is a little bit, and they don't usually eat it." They are old and in poor health, so they need to eat more good food. ”

Ou Qingjin smiled: "So, I tried my best to persuade them to eat together, so that they would not be willing to eat." ”

Xia Ruixi was almost made to cry by his attitude: "Even Ruiyu knows that you have to eat less vegetables, why don't I see that you are such a person?" There are so few things, how can you have enough if you don't save some food? She only knows that in such a difficult situation, she has to think about one for the sake of the other, and save food to get through the difficulties together.

Ou Qingjin couldn't help laughing, and deliberately said with a calm face: "You are really strange. People are all wishing that their husbands would eat more, but you don't let me eat enough, others always want to take more things from their in-laws' house back to their parents' house, and you are reluctant, who are you looking for? It used to be just a matter of fighting with me for gold, but now they are arguing with me for a bite of food, and they are really getting less and less grown, and they are getting more and more stingy. How will you be in charge of such a big family in the future? I'm afraid that if you become a family for three days, people will call you an iron rooster. ”

"Phew, it's you!" Xia Ruixi was a little annoyed and angry.

"Yes, the Iron Rooster is me." Ou Qingjin paused, smiled and said, "You are an iron hen." ”

Seeing that Xia Ruixi was really a little angry, he said, "Why are you in a hurry?" Since I dare to eat, I naturally have my own reasons. ”

Xia Ruixi's eyes lit up: "What's the truth?" "Looking at his confident appearance, there should be a way to get something for the New Year.

Ou Qing took Qiao and said, "I won't tell you." ”

Nasty guy, there are good things to hide from her, to tune her appetite? Xia Ruixi pinched Ou Qing fiercely: "Do you want to talk about it?" Do you say it or not? Do you want me to give you loose skin? ”

Ou Qingjin smiled and squeezed her hand: "You'll know in a few days, I'm sure you will wake up laughing when you fall asleep." ”

Xia Ruixi's heart was itching, and he didn't give up and provoked him: "What's rare?" Let me guess, the food must depend on whether there is anything in the cellar of Wenyuan Street. Speaking of meat, there is no car, and the things in the mountains can't be pulled out, and it's just that the meat comes by relying on the robe and meat on the back of the flower tiger (one sound) and one back (four sounds), there is not much, and it depends on whether it will be robbed on the road and whether it can be reached smoothly. ”

Ou Qingjin just smiled silently, hugged Da'er tightly, and took her hand away.

The leftover women are not ladylike
