"Little Night." Yue Huaiyin fell generously, propped himself up, and was as intimate as usual, "You're back, is it snowing outside?" ”

Xiaowan shook her head: "It's not snowing, but it's weirdly cold and windy." Miss Yue...... What happened to you? ”

She approached slowly, and saw her husband's hand taken away from Yue Huaiyin's bare ankle, reached into the basin of melted snow and wrung a handful of cold towels, and then wanted to put it on again, Xiaowan subconsciously said, "Xianggong, I'll come." ”

She stuffed her knee pads into Ling Chaofeng's arms, almost snatched off the towel, lightly covered Miss Yue's ankles, and asked with concern, "Miss Yue, why did you fall like this." ”

"It was the box that smashed it." Yue Huaiyin explained the whole story of the matter without hurry, and said, "I'm causing trouble for you and Shopkeeper Ling." ”

Xiaowan said with a smile: "Don't bother, your injury is important, we don't have a doctor here, it's better to hurry back to the town while it's still dawn, otherwise it's hard to walk when it's dark, and it will hurt more when it's bumpy." Turning his head, he said to Ling Chaofeng, "Xianggong, let Ershan not take the carriage away, and send Miss Yue back directly." ”

Ling Chaofeng responded: "Miss Yue's buddy has gone to pick up people, and he will be back soon." ”

Xiao Wan nodded: "That's fine." ”

After taking care of Yue Huaiyin meticulously, asking her if she was hungry and thirsty, Aunt Zhang came up to take a look, and also said that the injury was not light, and I was afraid that it would not be good for the New Year.

At these times, Ling Chaofeng was not in front of him, and when Xiaowan went downstairs to get food for Miss Yue, he saw that the pair of knee pads he bought was casually rested on the account book, and he couldn't say that he was angry, so he ran to get it back and put it in his arms.

Before Yue Huaiyin could eat a bite, the people in her shop came, followed by Xiao Cui and a middle-aged woman, Xiao Cui was babbling, and said that the young lady should not go to the dock in person on a snowy day, and after a while, she carried the person into the carriage.

Ling Chaofeng didn't interfere again, they were all surrounded by women, and then Xiaowan waved his hand and sent people away.

It was windy outside, and Aunt Zhang rubbed her hands and said, "Evening, if you're hungry, let's make pimple soup and eat it, it's hot." ”

Xiaowan shook her head: "I'm not hungry, auntie, eat, I'm going to rest for a while." ”

She went back to the store and went upstairs, and Aunt Zhang followed up and said to herself, "Is it because Su Su is unhappy?" ”

When Ling Chaofeng heard it and asked her what was going on, Aunt Zhang said that the roast chicken that Su Su bought was placed on the stall of the almsgiving and was taken away, and Xiaowan was very unhappy.

After returning to the kitchen, he said to her husband that Xiaowan had no appetite, so she didn't want to make something sour and appetizing for her, but Uncle Biao asked, "Why do you still eat sour?" ”

Aunt Zhang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a spirit was excited, and she said softly: "Could it be that the little lady is jealous?" ”

Uncle Biao said that he came to get food just now, his face was not very happy, and he stuffed the knee pads he bought for the shopkeeper into his arms, muttering in a low voice that it was not rare or something, and he laughed at his daughter-in-law: "Why are you not as clever as me, how powerful you were in the past." ”

Aunt Zhang punched him: "It's not that I've been with you for 20 years, so I don't have to worry about it?" ”

When it comes to Yue Huaiyin, if it's an accident, it's fine, but if you have any thoughts about the inn, or what you think about the shopkeeper, there are one and two, and you may have to toss something next time.

"I haven't seen anything yet." Aunt Zhang said disdainfully, "Although I am the one who lost, it is precisely because I am defeated that I know that this is a point of no return." If there is no interest in the evening, the shopkeeper can't be confused, Miss Yue will not have results, why should she practice herself. ”

Uncle Biao said: "I hope we think too much." ”

Aunt Zhang was curious: "Speaking of which, what is the origin of this girl-in-law, a girl's family opened a shop to do business, and she is young, if she has no background, she has special skills, what do you say?" ”

Uncle Biao slammed the kneaded dough on the board and said, "I see that we are not unproductive girls, don't worry, no matter where she comes from, no matter how big she is, can she be bigger than those two?" ”

Aunt Zhang understood and asked with a smile: "What do you eat?" ”

Uncle Biao said: "I love to eat wontons at night, so I roll out some wonton skins." ”

At this moment, Xiaowan was roasting the fire in the house, holding the knee pads she bought for Xianggong in her hand, and she was rushing back to offer treasures, but she even put aside Su Su's matter for the time being, and this unhappy thing ran out again.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, how she didn't like to see Ling Chaofeng and Miss Yue alone in the house.

In particular, Miss Yue was still lying on the bed, with her feet and neck exposed.

Xiaowan fiddled with the charcoal fire in the charcoal stove indiscriminately, and when she saw the ring on her right hand, her heart lit up, and she hurriedly put down the things in her hand, opened the window and stood in front of the window.

I was going to make a wish, hoping that Yue Huaiyin would get better if she was injured early tomorrow morning, so as not to cause any trouble later, but after thinking about it, if she got better, she immediately ran to thank her, back and forth, this ...... Anyway, Xiaowan is not very happy to see her now.

The door opened, the north and south were ventilated, the snow particles broke in with the cold wind, Xiaowan took a breath of cold air, choked and coughed, Ling Chaofeng quickly closed the door, came to close the window again, frowned and said: "It's a cold day, what are you doing standing at the window?" ”

Xiao Wan stopped coughing and turned to ignore him.

"It turned out that you brought the knee pads, and I said that I couldn't find them." Ling Chaofeng said, reaching out to take it, Xiao Wanyan quickly snatched it and held it in his arms.

No matter how you look at this situation, it is all awkward, and she ran into the guest room happily, and when she saw Yue Huaiyin, the expression on her face instantly froze, and then she was reluctant, probably only she didn't feel unnatural.

Ling Chaofeng understood at that time that his wife was jealous.

He was measured and didn't want to have any contact with Yue Huaiyin, but she was not lightly injured, and if she didn't deal with it in time, she would leave troubles.

"You didn't buy it for me?" Ling Chaofeng asked.

"Hmm......" Xiaowan muttered, not knowing how to answer, so that she could appear more powerful, but she was not a spicy person, even if she was coquettish and soft-tempered. In the blink of an eye, they have been married for four or five months, and the husband and wife are so intimate that they can't even insert a needle, and she also knows in her heart that Ling Chaofeng will not do anything sorry for herself.

So you can't lose your temper for no reason, it doesn't make sense, but she's not happy, what should she do.

"Jealous?" But it was Ling Chaofeng who spoke first, picked up her red face, and pinched it gently, "I'm just treating others, so I'm jealous?" ”

"I don't know what you're talking about." Xiaowan turned his face away, and his mouth was pouting.

"You don't like me to do this, and I won't do it again in the future, just to save the life and help the wounded, and there must be others on the side." Ling Chaofeng said solemnly, "I am a family person, I should have a sense of proportion, and lonely men and widows should not be in the same room." ”

Xiaowan glanced at him weakly, and muttered in a low voice: "People are not jealous, so they are not so stingy, but they are not happy when they see that you don't care about the things I bought......

She muttered, and Ling Chaofeng couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it: "People are not jealous, but are you jealous?" ”

"Nope." Xiaowan stomped her feet gently, but was hugged into her arms by her husband, she said softly, "I know that women can't be jealous and angry at every turn, and those women in our village who cry and hang themselves when they have nothing to do, everyone persuaded her to say that she was wronged, but she turned her back and said that she deserved not to be liked by men if she made such a fuss." ”

Ling Chaofeng hugged her, rubbed his chin lightly on her bun, and said: "Their words are unreasonable, why do women live to please men, I just want you to live happily for yourself, and if you want to lose your temper in the future, you will lose your temper, it is not everything, it is not mine." ”

"You can't get an inch." Xiaowan said, "Xianggong loves me, I also want to be sensible, you are kind to help Miss Yue, I know." If it were me, I would have helped, but Miss Yue is so beautiful, she is so beautiful, like a fairy, I often hear people talk about it when I go to the town, saying that whoever sees her will be moved. When you're alone with her, and she's barefoot and her legs exposed, I'm stingy. ”

"Those who talk about it are not serious, don't listen to this kind of thing." Ling Chaofeng said.

"I know that." Xiaowan stood up straight and said angrily, "But today, we are kind enough to give alms, but Susu's roast chicken is stolen, if it is a thief, if it is a person who receives alms, it is too wolf-hearted, why do we have no good reward for doing good deeds, Xianggong, I am angry." ”

Ling Chaofeng said with a smile: "This is a very profound truth, this world is not divided into good and evil, the poor are not necessarily weak, the rich and noble are not necessarily strong, if justice and kindness can be so simple, wouldn't the world be clear, and even the yamen will not be needed." ”

Xiao Wan listened seriously, and the dry words were a little difficult to digest, but she tried to think about it, and she could understand what her husband meant, just like their Lingxiao Inn, between black and white, this world is not as simple as black and white.

"Next time, you must pay attention to proportion, don't get angry, okay?" Ling Chaofeng pressed her forehead, "The knee pads you bought for me, are you reluctant to ask me to try them?" ”

was coaxed like this, Xiaowan was still unhappy, happily pulled Xianggong to sit down, lifted his robe, carefully tied the knee pads to his knees, touched and touched and said: "Now you won't be cold when you ride a horse, your knees are cold, and you will have old cold legs in the future." ”

Ling Chaofeng got up and walked a few steps, praising this knee pad for being particularly suitable, Xiaowan was very happy, saying that her needlework was not meticulous enough, so she didn't dare to do it herself, for fear that she would turn around and run halfway down the knee pad, and when she followed Aunt Zhang to learn more needlework skills, she would make it for Xianggong herself.

At this time, Aunt Zhang shouted downstairs: "Evening, do you want to eat wontons?" ”

Xiaowan served porridge to people in the town, and after being tired all day, she was already hungry. Now that he is in a good mood, he has a great appetite, and when he hears that there are wontons to eat, his eyes are lit up, and he pulls Ling Chaofeng downstairs.

Seeing the little lady eating wontons deliciously, and the shopkeeper looked at her with a silent smile, Aunt Zhang and Uncle Biao glanced at each other, and knew that they had made it clear.

And Xiaowan was contented with eating the wontons with prawns, and suddenly remembered Yue Huaiyin, since she had moved her mind and wished her injury to recover as soon as possible, she still gave her this wish, so she quietly held her right hand and read out the wish in her heart.

In Baisha Town, Siyun Pavilion invited a doctor to take care of the young lady's injury, but Yue Huaiyin was lazy and didn't wait to see him, so he sent everyone away, and just wanted to rest in the house alone.

After everyone dispersed, she sat up, lifted her skirt and trouser legs, and saw her ankles that were swollen like steamed buns, the pain was a heart-piercing pain, but Ling Chaofeng's coldness when he was cold compressing her, and his heartbeat close at hand, were even better entrenched in her heart at this moment.

Yue Huaiyin touched his ankle and smiled coldly: "What's wrong with me, people are married men, can I take off my skin, I can't change my bones, I am destined to ...... this life?"

She clenched her fists tightly, her long eyebrows twisted into a tuft, trying to calm herself, the past was not to be revealed, and it was unbearable to look back.

The next day, it is the serious Laba Festival, Uncle Biao's Laba porridge is very particular, peanuts, jujubes, longan, walnuts, red beans, black rice, japonica rice, glutinous rice, the whole eight pieces are turned into yellow and clear rock sugar, the fire boils for most of the night, and Xiaowan smells the aroma in his dream.

The family sat around drinking porridge for breakfast, talking about the state government's hospital examination in February, Ershan wants to refer to it, if he has passed the Xiucai, he will go to the Beijing Township test in August, and if he is in the middle of the lift, he will take the exam in March next year, if he can reach the final palace test in one fell swoop, he will enter the court as an official at a young age.

The Xiucai in Xiaowan Village has never passed the township exam in his life, and now he is in his fifties, and he is just a showman. But even if he is a showman, he is better than ordinary people, even if he teaches the children in the village to read and write, or writes letters to others, he can still have a bite to eat.

But Ershan has great ambitions, and he wants to enter the court as an official.

While he was talking and laughing, someone came in front of the inn, and a woman's voice asked, "Xiaowan, are you there?" ”

I heard the child's voice shouting, "Sister, let's bring you laba porridge." ”

Xiaowan's face changed, and she was immediately unhappy.
