Rui Xue took out a piece of lean meat under the ice pile in the yard, while it was not yet fully dissolved, finely chopped into minced pieces, ginger and two soaked mushrooms were also chopped, put water in the clay pot and sit on the small stove to boil, put it in and pour the japonica rice left at noon into it, boil it over high heat, put the lean minced meat in first, cook it until it turned white, and then add the minced ginger and mushrooms to it, while turning it to a low heat to boil, while constantly stirring it with a wooden spoon, and soon the aroma of the porridge came out.

When Zhang's sister-in-law, Gao family's husband and wife, and a few children hurried over, they couldn't help but smile when they smelled the fragrance wafting in the yard again.

In the past, Rui Xue had to think about the same delicious food almost every two or three days, but since Zhao Fengnian was sick, she didn't even eat much, so how could she have the heart to think about new food. Now that I'm back to my old mood, I'm afraid my husband is really going to be cured.

Rui Xue heard the movement, so she withdrew most of the firewood, turned it into the smallest fire, and let the pottery pot keep grunting, and then welcomed out, everyone entered the house, and saw Zhao Fengnian open his eyes, although he couldn't speak yet, but the eyes clearly recognized them, so he was even more happy, and retreated after a few words.

Cui Niang and Sister-in-law Zhang pulled Ruixue and almost shed tears, "Sister, it's okay now, Mr. is awake, you won't have to be bullied in the future." ”

Rui Xue felt sour in her heart, but she still smiled and comforted them, "My sister-in-law also knows that I am not a loser, where will I suffer any grievances." ”

Sister-in-law Zhang smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law said before, well, the thoughts of the group elders, I still don't believe it, when I came back from the shop today, I met Aunt Yun, she briefly mentioned it to me, I just went to Cui Niang to inquire, only to know that today's clan elders and Li Zheng quarreled, and the words are all about you to hand over the shop and tofu recipes at the dock, and now the whole village knows about it, I'm afraid that tomorrow the clan elders will come to the door." ”

Cui Niang also heard her talk about this on the way to come before, and gritted her teeth with hatred, "I still have some conscience, I stopped them for two days and didn't let them come to the door, otherwise they might have come yesterday." ”

Gao Fuquan frowned and said, "The 100 acres of paddy fields outside the village, when the disaster was first encountered, everyone didn't want to sell it, but it was the clan elders who tried their best to persuade them to sell it to Zhang Dahu at a low price. When I was releasing water for rice in the field last year, I heard from the two stewards of the Zhang family that the big Zhang family had given the elders two bags of brown rice to each family..."

When everyone in the house heard this, they were a little surprised, this is definitely eating inside and out, harming the public and benefiting themselves, even if they were in trouble at that time, everyone wanted to live, and they couldn't harm the whole village in order not to starve.

Zhang Dahe is honest and simple, but he is not stupid, he frowned and thought about it and said, "After all, there is no evidence in this matter, and no one will believe it when it is said, so let's cover it first." ”

Gao Fuquan also nodded and said with a smile, "I also thought so, so I hid it in my heart, if I hadn't heard the idea of the clan elders to open a shop today, I wouldn't have been able to say it." ”

Rui Xue smiled and added tea to them, "Thank you Brother Zhang and Brother Gao for their kindness, they want to seize the shop, they also think that Mr. is not in good health, now that Mr. is sober, when they come to the door, they must not dare to mention this again." ”

Everyone nodded, Zhao Fengnian was not dead, they discussed seeking other people's wealth, they had already lost their conscience and did not take advantage of it, but now that Zhao Fengnian has woken up, how can they have the courage to mention it again, blatantly robbing other people's property, according to the law, they will go to prison.

After a few more words of gossip and arranged things within a few days, everyone in the Zhang family was about to leave, Rui Xue left them to eat, where were they willing to let her be busy again, insisted on leaving, Rui Xue put two clay pots of porridge in the pot, and asked Cui Niang and Sister-in-law Zhang to take them back for the children to eat. The two of them were also used to Rui Xue sending food, so they took it with a smile and walked away with a warm hug in their arms.

Wu Yu helped take the dishes and chopsticks, set the table, Rui Xue took care of Zhao Fengnian and drank half a bowl of meat porridge, seeing that he ate sweetly, and pondered to change it to bone broth porridge tomorrow.

The red flame fruit in the medicinal juice is originally a thing of the yang, and the effect of restraining yin poison is excellent, a few days ago, he has slowly warmed most of the frozen meridians in Zhao Fengnian's body, and now he has woken up, consciously mobilizing the true qi to guide, but overnight, the cold poison was suppressed, and when Rui Xue got up early, he was even more happy to hear him speak.

On this day, both of them hid at home, Zhao Fengnian slept, Rui Xue went to the stove to eat and boil medicine, Zhao Fengnian woke up, Rui Xue read to him, the small room was full of beauty and sweetness, Wu Yu only came back in the morning for a meal, and then avoided Zhang's house, under the pretext of teaching Da Zhuang to read, and refused to come back.

Ruixue's whole heart was on Zhao Fengnian, and she didn't pay much attention to him, just forget about the two words.

On the second day, early in the morning, Zhao Fengnian was already able to walk a few steps on the ground, he insisted on sitting at the table to eat together, Wu Yu glanced at his pale face, pursed his lips, lowered his head and continued to drink porridge.

After the meal, Rui Xue was busy cleaning up the stove, Wu Yu took an axe and split half a pile of wood, the posture seemed to be splitting the enemy, ruthless and accurate, Rui Xue guessed that this kid was angry, so she thought it was because of those few words of scolding yesterday, so she pulled him and hurriedly coaxed, "Brother Yu has been helping my sister boil medicine and do chores these days, it's really hard, my sister will make you lo noodles at night, how about rewarding you?" ”

Wu Yu looked up at Rui Xue for a while, and said sullenly, "I'm 14 years old, not a child anymore." ”

Rui Xue didn't know why he wanted to say his age, so he patted him on the head, "Of course it's not a child, our brother Yu is a man." So, manly Wu Yu, how about we eat lo mein at night? ”

Wu Yu sighed in his heart, completely speechless, "Okay, I want mushroom meat stew." ”

The siblings negotiated the dinner for the evening like a chicken and a duck, and continued to be busy. As soon as I washed my hands, I heard someone shouting outside the courtyard gate, "Is the lady of the Zhao family at home?" ”

Rui Xue heard that it was Yun Sanye's voice, glanced at Wu Yu, and threw out a sentence in unison, "Finally came to the door." ”

Wu Yu entered the house to inform Zhao Fengnian, Rui Xue greeted the gate of the courtyard, opened the courtyard door, and did not be as respectful as the previous times, but asked lightly, "A few elders, how can you have time to come to our humble place?" ”

Yun Sanye heard what she said, but he didn't care about it in his heart, a widow who was about to lose her husband was a slave, and he didn't care about it.

He flicked his sleeves and walked towards the hall and said, "We are here to visit Mr. Zhao." After saying that, he took a few clan elders into the house, Rui Xue raised her eyebrows and followed.

Yun Sanye entered the house and sat directly on the main seat, which was obviously not in accordance with the rules, but several clan elders didn't say anything, and they clearly made up their minds to "make the decision" for the Zhao family.

Rui Xue stood at the door, did not come forward to salute, did not make a cup of tea, just stared at the four of them silently.

Old Man Wang, who was sitting at the bottom left, knocked on the table and said reproachfully, "Mrs. Zhao, the elders come to the door, why don't you know how to serve tea, there is no etiquette like this." ”

"I'm sorry, a few elders, the money in the family is used to catch medicine for my husband, and there is no extra tea to prepare."

Old Man Wang frowned, "Isn't that shop on the dock open, there are entries every day, and tofu is sold every day, how can there be a shortage of money?" ”

An old man in gray across from him, the villagers also called Song Liuye, "Mr. has been taking medicine for so long, and it hasn't improved, but your woman has hidden the money and refuses to buy good medicine for Mr. to take." ”

Rui Xue's face sank and she sneered, "The clan elders said that they came to visit Mr., but none of them planned to go in to see how Mr. looked like, except for calculating the income of the shop and selling tofu for me, that is, accusing me of hiding money privately." I would like to ask the clan elders, are you really here to visit your husband? ”

Old Man Wang and Sixth Master Song were both choked, and Third Master Yun glared at them, complaining that they were a little too impatient, so he said softly, "Mr.'s illness needs to be recuperated, we don't want to go in and disturb him, just ask you a few words, what's wrong?" Who taught you the rules, so rude and contradicted the elders. ”

"This doesn't bother a few clan elders, the elders of our Zhao family who taught me the rules, after all, the clan elders are foreign surnames, so don't cross the bud."

"You ignorant shrew, we are the patriarchs of Yunjia Village, you live in Yunjia Village, why can't we control you?" Yun Sanye slapped the table angrily, and the other clan elders also nodded in agreement, accusing Rui Xue of committing a crime and disrespecting the elders.

Rui Xue took a few steps forward, Yun Sanye thought that she was going to salute and make amends, but she didn't expect that she reached out to straighten the tea set that was tilted by the shock, and then retreated to the door again, before saying, "This is what Mr. is used to on weekdays, Yun Sanye's subordinates should be careful, in case it is broken, I can't explain it to Mr." ”

A few were stunned when they heard this, and then they were even more annoyed, Old Man Wang pointed at Ruixue and scolded, "What are you talking about, who gave you the courage to dare to disrespect your elders!" ”

Rui Xue was really choked by their disgusting faces that looked like the old ladies of the Zhao family, and she didn't want to listen to their verbosity, so she asked directly, "The clan elders came to the door, it must not be as simple as reprimanding me for not knowing the rules, just say it quickly if you have something, I still have work to do." ”

Old Man Wang wanted to scold again, but Yun Sanye interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "We are here to inform you, the shop on the dock and the recipe for making tofu, we will pick it up for the past two days and hand it over to the village." ”

"Why? Why should my Zhao family's wealth be handed over to the village, the clan elders didn't wake up, and they talked in their dreams during the day! ”

Rui Xue's eyebrows stood up, it was the same thing when she heard it, it didn't happen after all, but it was really her turn, this feeling of being robbed and bullied really made her unable to suppress her anger. She herself is the soul of the previous life, private property is the inviolable right of all modern people, these half-buried old guys, just a few words to take away her hard-earned family business, how can she not be angry?

"Presumptuous! How do you talk to the elders, your Zhao family lives in Yunjia Village, and you are the people of Yunjia Village, and your Zhao family's industry is naturally also the industry of Yunjia Village, how can you not pay it? Yun Sanye blew his beard and glared, and his tone was extremely tough.
