returned to the place where the honey lemonade was sold, and found Xiao Moyao quietly leaning against the carriage waiting for her.

The man's slender and upright body stood against the light, and Lin Yao couldn't see his expression clearly.

She hurriedly ran over embarrassedly, and said to him with a guilty face as she ran, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, I just went to buy some things again, so I delayed some time, you didn't wait too long." ”

As soon as he heard Lin Yao's voice, Xiao Moyao looked up, only to see the little girl running towards him at a trott, her tender little face full of apologies.

For some reason, the only remaining irritability in my heart suddenly dissipated.

In fact, he had been waiting here for almost an hour, but looking at the little girl's guilty expression, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and said lightly, "It didn't take long, I just arrived." As he spoke, he bypassed Lin Yao and came behind her, lifted her back basket with one hand, and reacted that he was going to help him carry the back basket, Lin Yao blushed instantly, and hurriedly opened his arms to release the shoulder straps on the back basket, "Xiao, Brother Xiao, I'll just come to this by myself, it's really troublesome for you." Saying that, Lin Yao stretched out her little hand and wanted to get the back basket.

She ignored the difference in height between the two, Xiao Moyao slightly mentioned Lin Yao in the back basket and couldn't reach it, and for a while she stupidly stretched out her hand to reach it.

Xiao Moyao was amused by her stupid appearance and laughed lowly.

Only then did Lin Yao realize how stupid she was now, and she immediately blushed.

Xiao Moyao restrained his smile and whispered, "It's not early, let's get in the car." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao responded softly, blushing and following into the carriage.

I secretly cursed my stupidity in my heart, and I also wondered if this man did it on purpose, but I looked at the man's cold and resolute face, thinking that maybe I was thinking too much.

After sitting down, Lin Yao no longer thought about it, thinking that the man had helped her so much, she took out two big meat buns from the back basket and handed them to him with a bright smile, "Brother Xiao, you haven't had lunch yet, this is the big meat bun I just bought, give it, eat it quickly." ”

Looking at the girl's expression of flattering herself, Xiao Moyao was very useful and in a good mood, he took the bun with one hand, looked at it, glanced at her with narrow eyes, and teased, "It seems that you have made a lot of money, and you can even give away two meat buns in one go." ”

In the life of Peach Blossom Village these days, he has long figured out the daily expenses of ordinary people's families, not to mention the Lin family, who is so poor that he can't open the pot, this little girl is willing to spend money.

Thinking that he ate half a bun in one bite, in fact, he had already eaten it, but he took the bun and ate it by surprise.

"Hehe, I made some money." Lin Yao hugged her knees and smiled at him and said, looking like a little money fan.

Looking at Lin Yao's bright apricot eyes and delicate smile, Xiao Moyao was stunned for a moment, felt that his heart seemed to shake a little, his face was a little hot, and after reacting, he hurriedly coughed, "Well, that's good, you sit down, I'm going to catch the car." ”

"Hmm."

When passing by the rice shop, Lin Yao told Xiao Moyao to help get rice and white noodles.

In less than an hour, they returned to the village, Xiao Moyao drove the carriage in the dust, and it was very popular in the village, and the surrounding villagers all talked about it after seeing it.

"Eh, who's that man? Why do I look at it like this? That big carriage is really magnificent, how much silver does it take to buy it? ”

"I know, didn't he come back half a year ago to be a group of soldiers, he is one of them, called Xiao, Xiao Moyao, the name is quite difficult to remember, he is the adopted son of Wang Lihu who died a few years ago, and he will be a good hunter, and he has been watching him send prey to the town every day for half a year, you can see that even the carriage has been bought, it seems that he has saved a lot of money."

"Xiao Moyao? It turned out to be that little wolf cub, I saw him when he was a child, he looked fierce, and now he is only in his twenties, right? Have you promised someone? ”

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Lin Yao pursed his lips and smiled secretly, it turned out that he was really Xiao, big brother, but he looked really old with this beard.

Seeing the little girl's snickering expression, Xiao Moyao's face was a little unhappy, and he hurried faster with a tense face.

"No, when I just came back, I was so poor that I didn't even have a house to live in, who knows how much effort I made to be so rich, look at that cart of things, eh, look, why is the big girl of the Lin family also sitting in the carriage, it won't be his idea."

"Phew, then the eldest girl of the Lin family still has five taels of silver in debt that has not been repaid, and I don't know what the idea is."

……

The eyes of the people around suddenly noticed Lin Yao's body, and her face gradually turned cold, she didn't expect the people in the village to say this about her, who had never seen her or said a few words, what qualifications did she have to point fingers at her.

The grievances I have suffered these days seem to explode in my heart at this moment, and I am very uncomfortable in my heart.

"Don't pay attention to them, it's just a group of long-tongued women, what's there to care about." At this time, Xiao Moyao, who was beside him, suddenly said, for some reason he didn't want to see her sad appearance, the little girl should always be cunning and bright.

Hearing this, Lin Yao instantly felt as if a warm current had slipped through her heart, Brother Xiao was really nice, "Thank you, Brother Xiao." I don't know why, at this moment, Lin Yao suddenly wanted to thank him hypocritically, and said the same.

Looking at the little girl looking up at him with a little face, Xiao Moyao suddenly felt a little dry, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and reached over to touch the top of Lin Yao's head, the little girl's hair was thin and soft, very comfortable.

Feeling the touch of the big palm on the top of her head, Lin Yao's apricot eyes widened in surprise in an instant, she didn't expect Xiao Moyao to make such an intimate action, staring at him with a stunned little look.

Xiao Moyao reacted to her staring, he quickly withdrew his hand, clenched his fists and coughed in disguise, "I'm sorry, I, I just want to comfort and comfort you." ”

Hearing this, Lin Yao's face instantly turned red, and he stammered, "Well, well, I know, thank you, Brother Xiao." ”

The ambiguous atmosphere circulated between the two in this way, making the two people who were blank in love a little overwhelmed.

The two were embarrassed and speechless all the way, until they came to Lin Yao's door.

When he arrived at Lin Yao's door, Xiao Moyao stopped the carriage, then turned over neatly and got out of the carriage, and helped unload the rice noodles and back basket without saying a word, and Lin Yao also hurriedly followed out of the carriage.

"Brother Xiao, thank you so much today." Lin Yao thanked Xiao Moyao, but his eyes drifted left and right, and he didn't dare to look at him in embarrassment.

"It's okay, then, I'll go first." Xiao Moyao was also a little uncomfortable, said goodbye and hurriedly got into the carriage and left.

Looking at Xiao Moyao's back as he gradually moved away, Lin Yao was slightly stunned.

Is the feeling just now?

"Sister, are you back?" Finding that Lin Yao was back, Xiao Douding hurriedly pounced and interrupted Lin Yao's thoughts, "Sister, are you tired or not, it's all because Xiaobao is useless, and when Xiaobao grows up, I'll help my sister sell things." ”

Looking at Xiao Douding's guilty look, Lin Yao couldn't help but touch his little head, "Sister is not tired, there is a kind big brother who helped my sister send it back, come, see what sister brought back to you?" Lin Yao took Xiao Douding's hand, took out the osmanthus candy in the basket and handed it to him.

"Open it and take a look."

Hearing this, the little guy hurriedly opened the oil-wrapped paper and saw pieces of malt-yellow sugar inside, "It's osmanthus sugar!" The little guy immediately shouted excitedly, although he had never eaten osmanthus candy, but the grandson of the village chief's family would often show off osmanthus candy to them, so Xiao Douding recognized it.

"Well, remember to eat a few fewer a day, and be careful of broken teeth." Lin Yao admonished uneasily.

"Got it, Xiaobao listens to my sister." The little one replied happily.

"Yaoyao is back, why did you buy so many things?" Yao's mother, who heard the voice, hurriedly rushed out, and asked in surprise when she saw what Lin Yao had bought.

He stepped forward again and opened the rice bag and noodle band, and was instantly dumbfounded, "Yaoyao, this, this is polished rice and flour?" "Although Yao's mother has never eaten polished rice and flour, she has seen and recognized it.

"Well, mother, my daughter earned more than ten taels of silver today, and our family will never have to starve anymore, and we can eat polished rice at once," Lin Yao said as she took out the remaining nine taels of silver from her arms and handed it to Yao's mother.

Looking at Yao's mother's surprised expression, Lin Yao couldn't help but feel a little distressed, after these days of getting along, she has long regarded Yao's mother as her biological mother.

"What, ten taels of silver?" Hearing this, Yao's mother widened her eyes even more in surprise, and looked at the silver in Lin Yao's hand and was stunned in place, unable to speak for a while.

"Yaoyao, you pinch your mother, why does your mother always feel so unreal?" After reacting, Yao's mother still asked in disbelief.

Looking at Yao's mother's childish behavior, Lin Yao couldn't help laughing, held Yao's mother's hand and said firmly, "Mother, this is true, don't worry." ”

Looking at Lin Yao's affirmative expression, Yao's mother finally believed it, and immediately cried happily, "Yaoyao is so capable, she has earned so much silver, this money is not for the mother, Yaoyao keeps it for herself, alas, the mother has never seen so much silver, it's so good." ”

Really, crying when I'm happy, crying when I'm unhappy, just like a child.

Seeing this, Lin Yao hurriedly comforted her helplessly, and said, "Mother, I plan to go and get the marriage contract back tomorrow, there are always some people in the village in the province who have irresponsible things about our family." ”

She was fed up with the gossip, and saw that she was not alive and slapped them in the face.

"Well, my mother understands, and my mother will accompany you tomorrow." Yao's mother immediately stopped crying, and held Lin Yao's hands and said firmly.

"Okay." Tomorrow there should be more people to buy honey lemonade, and then I may be too busy, so it is good to let Yao's mother follow and collect the money by the way.

After moving everything back to the house, Lin Yao thought about the seven meat buns left over during the day, so he didn't cook at night, just ate the chin vegetables.

Thinking of Tsubaki Cai, Lin Yao remembered that he wanted to make meat sauce, and the meat sauce should be made as soon as possible, otherwise the weather would be so hot, and the pork belly would spoil after a long time.

So she hurriedly lit the fire, cut the pork belly into diced meat, and added water and stir-fried with bean sauce, green onions, ginger, garlic candy and other seasonings, until it boiled into a sticky shape, then put it out, put it on the table to dry, and then blanched the chin again, and beckoned Xiaodouding and Yao's mother to come over to eat.
