Yuan Sinian's eyes lit up and said, "This name is good, much more elegant than saltwater duck!" It's better to call it Osmanthus Duck! Around the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the old man came to taste Yu Yatou's craftsmanship again. That's it! ”

Yu Xiaocao couldn't cry or laugh, Lord Dean, which one told you? Alas, I only blame myself for being too talkative and causing a "debt"!

When the three sisters and brothers came out of the Zhenyu Building, the sun was already in the west, and Wednesday Shao said uneasily: "It's getting late, and you have to go through a mountain road to go back to Dongshan Village, so it's better to rest in the town for one night, and go back tomorrow!" ”

Yu Xiaocao flatly refused. Her thirteen-filial father, if she can't see her children go back tonight, she doesn't know how worried she is. Alas! In ancient times, this was not good, it was too inconvenient to connect, if you had a mobile phone, dial one, and everything would be done.

Zhou Zixu saw that she had made up her mind, so he hurriedly brought his beloved horses from the stable, and insisted on sending them back. In his opinion, the eldest of the three siblings is less than ten years old, and if there is an accident or something halfway, the three children should not be called heaven and earth. He is not at ease!

He doesn't look at himself, and he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, so what can he do to help? However, his heart is quite touching.

Yu Xiaocao shirked several times, but he couldn't match Wednesday's resoluteness. So, a little donkey cart accompanied by a little red horse, galloping quickly into the distance in the red glow, the silhouette is so harmonious, like a freehand landscape painting......

Xiao Ash's physique has been transformed by Lingshi Water very well, and his speed is not inferior to the little red horse under Wednesday's crotch. If it weren't for the fact that the grass was about to spit out, I'm afraid Xiao Ash's speed would be even faster.

Wednesday Shao looked at Xiaocao's uncomfortable appearance, and said with a little unbearable: "The rubber wheels have been booked for you, and it is estimated that you can get them next month." When the time comes, it won't be so uncomfortable for you to go far away. ”

"Thank you for the three less!" Yu Xiaocao's face turned pale, her lips seemed to have lost their original color, she was so uncomfortable and still worried about watermelon seeds, "Sanshao, last time I asked Brother Xiao Duo to send you a letter and ask you to help find watermelon seeds, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Zhou Zixu nodded slowly and said, "I saw it last time in a seed store in Fucheng, and I have already asked people to buy it." Feel relieved! When have I delayed you? When the seeds come, I'll let Xiaoduo bring them to you! ”

By this time, it was already dark. The carriage and horses also entered a rugged mountain road, and on both sides of the winding path, tall trees and shrubs more than one person high, faintly heard the cry of night birds, in the quiet and gloomy mountain forest, it looked so poignant and creepy.

The Yu family's old house is at the foot of the West Mountain, and I haven't heard any kind of birdsong, but I don't feel anything. Wednesday is different, when did he appear in the mountains and forests at night? There was obviously some nervousness about the cooing of the night birds.

"Don't be afraid, it's the call of an owl! Owls are beneficial birds and can catch voles! Yu Xiaolian couldn't help but laugh, comforting Wednesday Shao, and secretly laughing in her heart that he was timid.

Zhou Zixu regretted a little that he didn't bring a weapon to take advantage of, if he brought the bow and arrow that he practiced every day, he would not be afraid. He looked at the shadows of the dark trees around him, and said in his heart: "In this mountain...... Will there be wolves? ”

"Wolves? There should be, right?? However, the beasts are generally deep in the mountains, and unless they can't find food in a disaster year, they will come down to the mountains to plague the villagers. This road is pedestrianized every day, and there should be no wolves or anything. Yu Xiaocao comforted. After all, he is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, and he is still a pampered young master, and he is not ashamed to be afraid.

"Front...... What is that light? I heard that the wolf's eyes are glowing at night, will it ......" Zhou Zixu swallowed his saliva quietly, holding the reins in his palm, sweating slightly. He looked left and right, if he could find a stick or something, so that he could protect the three of them.

Xiao Shi giggled and said, "Brother Zhou, have you ever seen a wolf with glowing eyes?" Isn't that a one-eyed wolf? Besides, the wolf's eyes were blue-green at night, and the front was dim, apparently the light of a night walker. ”

"Strange, big night, who would walk at night with a lantern?" Yu Xiaocao said to herself.

As the donkey cart moved smoothly, the dim light drew closer. The man carrying the lantern seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves and the wheels of the cart, and hesitated to shout, "Is it grass?" ”

"Daddy? Second sister, it's Daddy's voice!! Little Stone was stunned for a moment, and cried out happily.

"Daddy! It's us!! Xiaolian seemed to have a backbone, and shouted loudly at the light.

Soon, the donkey cart came to the light, and I saw Yu Hai carrying a white paper wind lamp, standing on the side of the road and breathing a long sigh of relief, as if he had gone to a heart.

"Dad, why are you here?" Yu Xiaocao gave way to the side, and waited for Yu Hai to jump on the donkey cart before asking.

Yu Hai glared at the three sisters and brothers, and said, "Why am I here?!" Look at what time it is, the moon is hanging high in the treetops, you haven't arrived home yet, can your mother and I not be in a hurry? I think you're crazy in town and forgot to go home! ”

Zhou Zixu hurriedly explained for the three sisters and brothers: "Uncle Yu, it's mine, isn't it!" Xiaocao taught the king chef to make osmanthus duck apprentices, and he was delayed, so he came back late. If you're to blame, blame me! ”

Yu Hai was just full of the three sisters and brothers, for fear that something would happen, and only then did he find out that Wednesday sent the three sisters and brothers back. He hurriedly said gratefully: "I'm tired of three times, it's not early, you can go back quickly!" ”

Wednesday looked at the road when he came, and said yes, but he was reluctant to turn back. Seeing this, Xiaocao said to his father: "Dad, it will take more than an hour for the third young man to go back, and the night is dark and windy, which is strange and uneasy." Isn't this coming to our house? Or let him rest at our house for the night, and go directly from our house to the dock tomorrow, which is closer! ”

Yu Hai saw that the three young members of the Zhou family didn't have to be much older than their own children, they were still half a child. Just going back like this is really uneasy, so he said to Sanshao: "Sanshao, if you don't dislike it, just rest at my house for one night." What do you think? ”

"Thank you Uncle Yu, then I'll bother!" Zhou Zixu smiled gratefully at Xiaocao. Xiaocao girl is empathetic, and this move is in his arms.

After this mountain road, you can see the big tree at the entrance of Dongshan Village. Faintly, a dark figure hovered under a tree. Needless to say, that familiar figure is the Liu family who is worried about his children.

Liu Shi didn't say anything when he saw that Wednesday was here, but only said with concern: "I will come back early in the future, your father and I are waiting for you how anxious!" ”

Yu Xiaocao jumped out of the carriage, took Liu's hand, and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't worry, never again!" ”

When I got home, hot water had already been boiled on the stove, and after Wednesday Shao and Xiaocao sisters and brothers finished washing, they scalded their feet with hot water again, and their bodies were warm.

At night, Wednesday Shao slept on the kang in the main house with Yu Hai and Yu Hang, and the Liu family took Xiaolian, Xiaocao and Xiaoshi to live in the east room. Xiaoshi protested: "Mother, I am also a man, I want to sleep on a kang with my father and brother!" ”

"Men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, your kid is just six years old, what do you pay attention to? Let's go to sleep!! Ignoring Xiaoshi's protest, Yu Xiaocao stripped off his coat and stuffed him into the quilt. The little stone screamed and resisted, but was suppressed by several women in the family.

Wednesday next door, lying on the warm kang, looked at everything in the room by the dim oil lamp. Although the house has been renovated, it still looks old. However, the interior of the house is simple and neat.

The earthen wall on the edge of the kang was about to peel off, and a layer of wallpaper was pasted. The cotton of the mattress under him was hard, but the pulp was clean. The quilt on the body should be freshly made, fluffy and soft, exuding the fragrance of soaphorn......

Zhou Zixu thought that he would not be able to sleep if he changed the environment, but he didn't expect that in less than a quarter of an hour, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight. In a hazy moment, he vaguely heard the loud snoring around him, and he didn't feel noisy, and slept more peacefully.

Since he was born, he has lacked the role of a father in his life. If he has a father in his life, is he also like Xiaocao's father, who loves him to the bones, will he also have a snoring sound to sleep with?

Zhou Zixu woke up to the singing of birds, and the moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to have forgotten where he was, and he was a little confused.

"Flutter-" A burst of girlish laughter suddenly woke him up.

He looked up and saw Yu Xiaocao smiling at the door, and shrunk into the quilt in a bit of a panic.

"Hiding from what? You're not undressed...... Oops! Mother, why are you beating me? Yu Xiaocao was extremely sad, covering her head and deflating her mouth, looking aggrieved.

Liu nodded at her head and reprimanded, "Look at you!" Is that what a girl should say? I'm not afraid of the three young jokes! I see, you should run less in the future, and learn the rules carefully. ”

"Mother, Wednesday is not an outsider, isn't it a little joke with him?" Why make all the fuss, Yu Xiaocao blinked her innocent eyes and spared no effort to sell cuteness.

Zhou Zixu opened his mouth to intercede for her: "Auntie, Sister Xiaocao is still young." Besides, when the emperor proposed to improve the status of women, there were women's schools in the capital. Now it is no longer advisable for women to go out of the door and not step out of the door. ”

"Girls can go to school too? After a while, send Xiaocao and Xiaolian to study, our Xiaocao is smart, maybe she can take the female show before coming back! Yu Hai smiled with a proud expression.

Liu glared at him: "You, what are you doing with it?" The three young people are talking about the capital, how can we have a women's school in this small place of Tanggu? The girl's family can recognize a few words, what to learn and what to read? ”
