There was silence in the room, and the mirror carved with the patterns of birds and beasts was like an ordinary mirror.

Nothing special happened.

If it weren't for the fact that the previous planes of Ju Qi had dealt with the concubine, she would have almost felt that this was an ordinary mirror.

Ying Qi was a little disappointed in his heart, Fei Ji hasn't woken up yet?

However, this mirror, the mirror body is plated with a thin layer of gold, carved with birds, beasts, insects and fish, which is dotted with a little jade, even in ancient times, it is priceless, let alone in such a poor mountain village.

At this moment, Fang Qiufen's slightly dissatisfied shout came from outside: "Dead outside?" Not coming back now? ”

Immediately after a sound of footsteps, Maki Qi's heart trembled, and he hurriedly put the mirror into the ash hearth, pulled it twice with the fire tongs, and made sure that the mirror was hidden, and walked to the basin.

The moment Fang Qiufen walked in, Ying Qi had just finished that series of actions.

"What are you doing here? Want to steal food? I can't kill you! Fang Qiufen scolded as soon as she saw Ying Qi.

Ying Qi lowered his head to remove the coldness in his eyes, and said cautiously: "It's not Mom, I just came back and fell and washed my hands." With that, Ying Qi turned around and showed Fang Qiufen the traces of his fall.

Fang Qiufen glared at her, but after all, she believed it, wrapped the padded jacket on her body, and walked back scolding.

Maki pursed his lips, poured the water in the basin, and followed him back to the room.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, Maki Qi sat up from the bed.

Fang Qiufen was very vigilant, and grabbed Ying Qi's hand: "Why are you going?" ”

Ying Qi said softly: "Mom, it's so cold this day, you can sleep a little longer, I'll go cook." ”

Fang Qiufen thought about it, anyway, the courtyard door was locked, so she snorted and agreed.

When Maki walked into the kitchen, the first thing he did was to take out the mirror in the stove, wipe it clean with a hand towel, and hide it in his clothes.

She felt that it was not safe to hide the mirror at home, and it was safer to hide it outside.

is getting closer and closer to the end of the year, which means that the wedding banquet arranged by the Zhang family is coming.

Zhang Guoyang found someone to see a good day, which was set on the twenty-second day of the lunar month, that is, the day before the new year.

Fang Qiufen is a person who has been cut to the bones, but Zhang Guoyang is not good at good face, so at Zhang Guoyang's insistence, Fang Qiufen finally relented and agreed to make a wedding dress for Ying Qi.

People in the mountains don't like any wedding dresses when they get married, so they go to the town at the bottom of the mountain and find a tailor to make a red dress, which is considered a wedding dress.

The family really has no money, and this year's harvest is not very good.

Zhang Guoyang just wanted to save face again, thought about it and decided to borrow money from the cultural person in the village who went out.

In fact, over the years, people in the village have asked Wei Ran to borrow money.

Basically, the money that Wei Ran lent out will not be returned, because he can't open this mouth, once there is a posture of asking people to repay the money, the person who owes the money will put on an expression of "you are developed, you should help the township".

Over the years, Wei Ran has also lent a lot of money, but he hasn't seen a single piece of the money back.

Zhang Guoyang instructed Fang Qiufen and Ying Qi to cook a good meal, and then went to Wei's house with his feet, preparing to invite Wei Ran to come over for dinner and borrow money by the way.

These days, after the Zhang family eats the food cooked by Ying Qi, they feel that it is much more delicious than Fang Qiufen's cooking, and there are many tricks.

Fang Qiufen was also happy to let Ying Qi cook.

With the skill of cooking, Fang Qiufen and Zhang Guoyang's attitude towards Ying Qi was a little better.

Fang Qiufen felt more and more that this daughter-in-law had been scared, and every time she saw her bow down in front of her, she felt proud in her heart.

She sat in the kitchen door basking in the sun, holding a handful of pumpkin seeds in her hand.

Maki glanced at her, and then continued to get busy with the business at hand.

"Don't say it, this melon seed is pretty good." Fang Qiufen rarely praised Ying Qi.

Ying Qi immediately made a flattered appearance: "Yes, as long as my mother likes it." ”

Two months ago, Fang Qiufen said that she wanted to eat melon seeds, but she didn't want to go to the commissary to buy them, in fact, she was reluctant to spend money.

Ying Qi said that she could get the pumpkin seeds out to dry, Fang Qiufen agreed when she heard it, originally the pumpkin seeds were taken out to feed the pigs, and now she saved the money to buy melon seeds, so she praised Ying Qi for living a good life.

In fact, as long as he does what he likes, the impression of Ying Qi in the hearts of the Zhang family has gradually changed.

Zhang Guoyang only bought a small piece of meat, but let the seven fry five or six dishes come out.

Maki Qi thought about it, cut out the fat on the meat, fried some meat oil, and prepared to stir-fry the vegetarian dishes for a while.

It was easy to make the dish according to Zhang Guoyang's indicators, and it was almost dark.

At this time, Zhang Guoyang led Wei Ran back.

Ying Qi hurriedly brought all the meals to the table, and the dishes she cooked were full of color, flavor, and taste, which made people very appetizing.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Ran's eyes, and he glanced at her quickly, and saw that she was standing there with her eyebrows lowered and pleasing to her eyes, and she was not on the table.

In this kind of dinner, women are not served.

Wei Ran didn't know what was wrong with him, if it was usual, he tried not to say much about the situation in his hometown, but today, he suddenly said in a ghostly manner: "Auntie and brother-in-law should sit down and eat." ”

Zhang Guoyang hurriedly said: "If they don't serve at the table, we will drink." ”

"It's okay, my aunt has been busy for a day, folks, you're welcome." Wei Ran looked at Fang Qiufen, but his gaze actually fell on Ju Qi's body over Fang Qiufen.

Fang Qiufen immediately smiled: "It's still the eldest nephew who knows how to hurt his aunt." ”

Fang Qiufen was on the table, and there was no reason for Ying Qi not to go to the table, so she sat next to Zhang Guangzhu with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, without saying a word.

After three rounds of drinking, Ying Qi and Fang Qiufen had long since stopped eating, so they sat at the table and watched them drink.

Zhang Guoyang opened his mouth drunkenly: "Big nephew, you see, you are the only one in the whole village, and you have passed the test by your ability, and you will be from the city in the future, if my pillar can be a little stronger than you, I won't worry." ”

Zhang Guangzhu smiled stupidly while holding the wine glass: "My brother Wei Ran is the most powerful." ”

Wei Ran pinched the wine glass with one hand, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and he couldn't make a sound, his almost sickly white cheeks were dyed two scarlets because of the wine.

"The pillar is stupid, and he finally has a daughter-in-law, but his uncle has no money to do a happy event for him! What does this make the people in the village think of him in the future? Zhang Guoyang's face turned red, and his mouth was full of wine, "Big nephew, my uncle has never begged anyone in his life, and today for the sake of the pillar, I also let go, big nephew, can you lend some money to my uncle?" ”

The smile on the corner of Wei Ran's lips did not decrease, but he didn't speak, and put down the wine glass in his hand.

As early as when Zhang Guoyang came to him, he knew that he must be borrowing money from him.

During the meal, Zhang Guoyang kept going around in circles and now finally opened his mouth, although he knew that this money would not be returned if he lent it, and if someone else spoke, he would agree.

But now, at the thought of the muffled crying that had been in the back room that day, he suddenly didn't want to agree.
