When the group returned to Niujiao Village, it was already dark.

Along the way, Xia Youzhidu only chatted with Uncle Zhang and his apprentices, and deliberately ignored Grandpa Gu.

Grandpa Gu was also aggrieved all the way.

This girl is really stingy, but she didn't come back with her in the morning.

After sending a few people, Grandpa Gu finally sent Xia Youzhi home.

Xia Youzhi didn't squeak, she knew that this old urchin must be trying to find the stairs down.

"How were you doing today?" Grandpa Gu asked casually.

"Okay." Xia Youzhi replied briefly.

Grandpa Gu choked.

"Isn't the bride beautiful?"

After asking, Grandpa Gu felt that his old face was lost.

This is a bit disrespectful to the old man.

"Okay." Xia Youzhi held back a smile and pretended to be cold.

"......" Grandpa Gu was upset.

This little girl is small-spirited.

"Well, I'll be here early tomorrow to deliver to the town." Grandpa Gu had nothing to say.

"Everything."

At this moment, Grandpa Gu was really anxious, "Hey, you little girl, won't I leave you in Lijia Village?" Are you so weird? ”

"Oh." Xia Youzhi replied coolly.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Xia's house, Grandpa Gu hurriedly said, "Girl, I am wrong about this matter today, and next time you give me a look, I will definitely understand." ”

If Gu Tingshen heard this, he would probably be scared.

Is this what this stubborn old man in his family would say?

Xia Youzhi nodded with satisfaction, "Don't take it as an example." ”

"Okay." Grandpa Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't realize that I was being pinched by a little girl.

It's still beautiful in my heart.

When I arrived at the door of the house, I happened to meet Xia Mu who opened the door.

"Mom." Xia Youzhi shouted.

Xia's mother lifted the kerosene lamp and was relieved when she saw Xia Youzhi.

Lijia Village is a little far away from Niujia Village, and the chefs can only move things after the main family has finished the banquet and the guests are dispersed, which delays time.

Xia Mu went back and forth several times, and when she saw that it was getting dark, she felt even more annoyed.

I knew that I wouldn't go to the field today, so how good it would be to accompany the young one.

Grandpa Gu glanced at Mother Xia, and felt a little guilty in his heart, "National daughter-in-law, don't worry, I definitely can't leave this girl behind." ”

Xia Youzhi burst out laughing.

Didn't you leave her behind this morning?

This laughter made Grandpa Gu a little embarrassed.

"Uncle Gu, how can I not worry, the main reason is that this child is naughty, and he is afraid that something will happen and cause you trouble." Xia Mu smiled.

Having said that, Xia Mu didn't approve of it.

Her daughter is a good one.

Xia Youzhi took the meat he brought back from the master's house and handed it to Grandpa Gu, "Old man, you take it and eat it." ”

"How can it be so big and small." Xia Mu scolded, "You can't be called Grandpa Gu like that." ”

Grandpa Gu waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter.

He listened to it kindly.

Like his bastard boy, that's what he calls it.

"Are you going to pay me for it?" Grandpa Gu shouted.

"Yes, don't give it, take the food to pay." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.

"That's not good, hurry home, you don't eat, keep your mother and your brother to eat." Grandpa Gu said with a smile, driving the ox cart to leave.

"Hey, Uncle Gu, you hold this kerosene lamp, the road is a little dark." Xia Mu hurriedly said.

"Don't get in the way, the moon is shining in the sky." So saying, he drove away with the ox cart.

Xia Youzhi looked at the oxcart and smiled.

What a stubborn old man.

"Let's go inside, yes." Xia Mu said.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

"When did you have such a good relationship with your grandfather Gu?" Xia Mu asked curiously.

This Uncle Gu is a well-known stubborn man in Niujiao Village, and he doesn't like to deal with people on weekdays.

She has been married for 20 years, and she has never seen him kiss any junior.

"The old man is very nice." Xia Youzhi joked, "Maybe you think I'm excellent, so you're willing to approach me." ”

The old man has a strange personality, no one wants to approach, and his only son is not at home, so the old man is lonely.

She talked to him from time to time, and gave him meat from time to time, so the two were naturally familiar with each other.

Xia Mu listened to Xia Youzhi's words, and her mouth was about to open with a smile.

Now he is also starting to narcissist.

Xia Mu took the big bag of meat to the kitchen.

When he opened the bag, he looked at Xia Youzhi with some surprise, "The master family is so generous this time?" ”

Xia Youzhi also saw the meat in the bag, which looked like it had not been touched.

There is fish, there is meat.

This should have been prepared by Aunt Zhang.

Xia Youzhi mentioned the incident of meeting Zhang Qin at the banquet.

"I said, why did you stay for dinner?" Xia Mu said with a smile.

Uncle Gu came back this morning and said that she was surprised when this girl left for dinner.

This is not like what Xia Youzhi would do, but Xia's mother also knows her daughter very well, and there must be something that stumbles.

"Look back and walk around, you can see that your Aunt Zhang really likes you." Xia Mu continued with a smile.

"Hmm." Xia Youzhi smiled, "I sealed a red envelope of ten yuan for Aunt Zhang's family." ”

Xia Mu was a little distressed when she heard this, which was a bit much.

But think about it, this money is all earned by Xia Youzhi, just seal it and let the children grasp the idea.

"Okay, you just have to make up your mind."

Xia Mu put the vegetables into the bowl, filled the basin with water, and put the bowl with the vegetables in the center of the water.

It's a little hot right now, so it's okay to eat tomorrow if you do that.

"Dad, when are they coming back?" Xia Youzhi asked.

"I don't know." Xia Mu sighed.

I thought I would come back in three or four days, but now it's been more than a week.

Don't go wrong.

"Mom, it's okay, I may not be able to find anyone for a while, so it's delayed."

Xia Youzhi thinks about it, and there is only this reason.

"If you don't come back in two days, you'll have to go to your uncle's house, and you'll have to let them help you with this year's rice harvest." Xia Mu smiled.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

She doesn't know much about this, at most she can only give water, a meal or something.

I can't really do anything else.

"By the way, I almost forgot something. Your sister-in-law came back with a message today, saying that she had found a few suitable ones, so that you can go to her when you deliver the goods tomorrow. Xia Mu said.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

Finally there are eyebrows.

The next day, Xia Youzhi followed Grandpa Gu's oxcart to the mine.

Recently, Xia Youzhi has been busy, and Grandpa Gu has delivered goods alone.

So when he saw Xia You, Ma Dazhong was so happy that he jumped up.

"You girl, do you still have a conscience, why don't you come to see your uncle?" Ma Dazhong complained with a smile.

"I'm not here." Xia Youzhi smiled and said, "I heard your voice from afar, what's wrong today, why are you yelling?" ”

Ma Dazhong scratched his head, his humble appearance was very different from the hot temper just now.

"Youzhi, you don't know, my brothers have been living in dire straits recently." The people on the side cried.

He is Ma Dazhong's big apprentice.

Recently, the master was studying a dish, but he couldn't break through, and his temper was like eating gunpowder.

"What's wrong?" Xia Youzhi said curiously.

Ma Dazhong's eldest apprentice hurriedly told him about it.

"Okay, hurry up and get to work, the cafeteria won't be open for dinner in a while."

Ma Dazhong hurriedly drove away his apprentice, and if he continued, where would he put his old face.

Xia Youzhi covered his mouth and smiled.

"You little girl, do you dare to laugh at your Uncle Zhong, if you haven't come, can I never break through?" Ma Dazhong shook the pot.

Xia Youzhi often came to deliver goods before, and he could still discuss a thing or two with her.

It's good now, I haven't seen anyone for more than half a month.

It's infuriating to think about.

Xia Youzhi hurriedly stopped laughing, "Yes, yes, my fault, then let's go and see your dish." ”

Ma Dazhong was relieved.

When I came out of the kitchen after studying, the cafeteria was just about to arrive.

Xia Youzhi sighed, this research took more than two hours, but fortunately, he had something to do today, so he asked Grandpa Gu to go back first.

Ma Dazhong smiled.

For a chef, there is no greater joy than being able to study the flavor you want.

"You'll come back later, girl." Ma Dazhong said happily.

Although it is a meal now, it is all Ma Dazhong's apprentices who are sharing the dishes.

He happily pulled Xia Youzhi to sit in the dining hall to eat.

The workers of the mine are no longer surprised.

Xia Youzhi also ate calmly.

After all, she's been through it a few times.

"I probably won't be able to come later." The way of summer young.

"What's wrong?" Ma Dazhong hurriedly asked.

It can't be something happening at home, right?

"It's nothing, I'm going back to school." The way of summer young.

"Studying?" Ma Dazhong was stunned, "Are you going to high school?" ”

Xia Youzhi nodded.

"Do you want to go to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School to study? The educational resources there are better. Ma Dazhong lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

Xia Youzhi glanced at Ma Dazhong in surprise.

"Really, if you want to go, Uncle Dazhong will help you get it." Ma Dazhong hurriedly said.

As long as he mentions it to his family, it's still okay to stuff someone in.

Xia Youzhi naturally believes that after all, in this era, there are more relationships.

Uncle Dazhong knew that there was a bit of background at a glance.

A chef who dares to contradict the deputy factory director can still eat in the canteen openly, if you want to say that Uncle Dazhong has nothing to do with it, she really doesn't believe it.

"I was originally studying in Haizhou No. 1 Middle School." Xia Youzhi said lightly.

Ma Dazhong was stunned, "Admitted normally?" ”

Xia Youzhi glanced at Ma Dazhong angrily.

"Haha, I didn't expect you girl to be so smart." Ma Dazhong laughed.

My little master, how good this is.

"But ......," Xia Youzhi frowned.

"But what?" Ma Dazhong stopped laughing and asked curiously.

"I didn't go to school for two months last semester, and I missed the final exam, so I don't know if No. 1 Middle School can still accept me." Xia Youzhi said lightly.

If you just look at the results, then you will definitely have no problem.

But if you are absent without reason, you may have to make a major demerit in school.

If there is such a record in the file, it will definitely have an impact on my admission to Kyoto University.

"That's okay, school is about to start, you go back to Haizhou No. 1 Middle School to ask, it's really not good, you just come and tell me, I'll help you get it." Ma Dazhong patted his chest.

He didn't ask why he missed class, he knew that this girl must be measured in her work.

Xia Youzhi nodded.

Although she didn't want to trouble Ma Dazhong, if she really had no choice, she could only rely on him.
