Ming Jiuniang was naturally unhappy when she heard his blunt tone, but she didn't quarrel with him, and said calmly: "I didn't risk my life." I say this just to remind you that I am afraid that some people will fish in troubled waters and do some unsightly things by catching the Golden Eagle King, such as eradicating dissidents, such as you...... I myself will take Ye'er and hide far away, so as not to give others a reason to be injured by mistake. ”

Xiao Tiece's breathing was much heavier, and after a while, he eased his breath and said, "I said I would protect you, and I would protect you." Tell me when you are going to the mountains, especially when you are going far, and I will take you. ”

This is like a human sentence, Ming Jiuniang said "um", turned over and turned her back to him.

They are more like comrades in the same trench than intimate couples - their common goal is to stay alive.

She is leaving Xiao Tiece, a newcomer to a single woman who has nothing to rely on, and will become a fat sheep in the eyes of others;

Ming Jiuniang could figure out this, so she reminded him.

He's good, she's good.

The next morning, when Ming Jiuniang woke up, Xiao Tiece had already gone out.

She crept out of bed, and when she was about to go out, she noticed five more copper plates on the table.

The corners of Ming Jiuniang's mouth couldn't help but smile - her "partner" is good, and she also knows that she takes care of children and hands over half of her income.

She unceremoniously put away the copper plate and went to wash up with a smile.

Breakfast was a boiled duck egg per person, a small half bowl of brown rice, and when eating, Ming Jiuniang remembered that Xiao Tiece should have worked on an empty stomach.

No wonder he was so able to eat at night, it turned out that he was hungry all day!

I have to prepare some food for him tomorrow, after all, he is doing heavy physical labor, and he has to keep up with oil and water.

After eating, Ye'er raised her face and looked at Ming Jiuniang, her eyes shining, as if asking, Mother, where are we going today?

Ming Jiuniang patted his little head, "My mother plans to pick some peppercorns and chili peppers again, and then find a way to sell this recipe for spicy fish fillet." ”

She thought carefully last night that it was very unrealistic to keep this party for a long time to do business by herself, after all, at present, the family is surrounded by walls, not to mention the capital, and the seller can solve the urgent need.

Although Ye'er doesn't quite understand what she means, but now he is Ming Jiuniang's little fan brother, what his mother says is the truth, and he must resolutely support it!

The mother and son went up the mountain again, and Ming Jiuniang asked him to sit on the stone in the shade of the tree and wait for her, and he stepped forward to pick peppercorns quickly.

She didn't feel anything when her fat fingers were pricked by hard thorns, and her head was full of glowing silver.

"Cuckoo—" During the break, she heard the cuckoo chatting.

She listened carefully, and in addition to the cuckoo, there were other birds chirping, and the content of the discussion was that the Golden Eagle King was injured.

Ming Jiuniang couldn't help but think, it seemed that she had misunderstood those people.

Those people should really be here for the Golden Eagle, not for the exiled people like Xiao Tiece.

But these things have nothing to do with her, so she doesn't take them to heart.

After picking peppercorns, Ye'er looked at her bleeding fingers distressedly, her eyes were full of water, and she was about to cry.

"Mother doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Ming Jiuniang said, "If you cry, your mother will hurt!

Ye'er hurriedly picked up her fat hand and snorted carefully.

Ming Jiu Niang's heart is about to melt.

At noon, she made a pot with a little rice left over from the morning, added some lard, and sandwiched fried wild duck eggs, green vegetables, and bean sprouts, which was full of aroma and appetizing.

When she went to the river to fetch water, a woman in the village secretly stuffed it for her, and she said angrily, "Be kind to your husband and son." ”

Although Ming Jiuniang had seen this woman in her memory, she didn't know who she was, she only knew that she was from the village, so she took the bean sprouts in a daze and said "thank you".

Ye'er couldn't stop eating, and her cheeks were stuffed like a cute little squirrel.

Ming Jiuniang looked at him like this, not to mention how satisfied she was, she was happier than eating it herself.

Ye'er was almost finished eating, only to find that Ming Jiuniang did not continue to make the pot, so she ran over and lifted the lid of the pot, and found that it was empty, with a guilty look on her face.

Ming Jiuniang smiled and lifted the fat on her belly and said, "My mother is so fat, I will be disgusted by you and your father in the future." Mother wants to lose weight, mother is not hungry, you eat by yourself, behave. ”

Ye'er hugged her legs, saying that no matter what she became, he would not dislike her.

Ming Jiuniang smiled: "You coax your mother every day, and you make your mother dizzy." ”

The child doesn't hold grudges, obviously his predecessor was so inhuman, and he was so bad to him, but now she is just a little nicer to him, and he immediately chooses to forgive and be close.

After eating, Ming Jiuniang took Ye'er to the river to wash his greasy little hands.

There is a woman washing clothes by the river, after the last Ming Jiuniang's toughness, no one dares to speak loudly this time.

It's just that the sound of them whispering is also incessant.

"Has the Xiao family really changed?"

"Their family is so poor that they can afford to eat oil now? Look at that little mute, his hands are full of oil. ”

"I passed by their door last night, and I didn't quarrel! In my opinion, is it true that Xiao Tiece has made a fortune, and the Xiao family will stop making trouble?"

"Don't say it, it's possible. People used to be officials in the capital, and their hands were wasted, so they could eat with their brains...... It's just different from us farmers. ”

Ming Jiuniang's heart trembled suddenly.

She was so focused on money that she completely forgot that being downcast was Xiao Tiece's protective color.

It seems that there are a lot of things that she should reconsider.

When Xiao Tiece came back in the evening, Ming Jiuniang still made the same dishes as before, and almost all the food stored at home was "squandered" by her.

Xiao Tiece didn't say anything, he still buried his head in hardship.

After the meal, Ming Jiuniang discussed with him: "I want to go to the city tomorrow, can you take Ye'er to the blacksmith shop? ”

"What are you doing in the city?" Xiao Tiece asked coldly.

"I want to find someone to write a letter to my father. ”

Ming Jiuniang didn't know if it could be done, so she lied.

But Xiao Tiece listened, his breathing was a little heavy, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Ming Jiuniang was uneasy in her heart.

Xiao Tiece suddenly sneered: "The day before yesterday, you told me that you listened to me, it seems that you lied to me." I won't stop you from doing what you want, but I advise you to dream less!"
