It snowed heavily at night, and it didn't stop until the next morning, so in order to be able to buy things, the children were given a holiday today, so they didn't have to go to class anymore.

After breakfast, she asked the children to watch Ling'er, and she got busy in the kitchen.

Steamed buns, steamed buns, no need to steam, those given by the shopkeeper Lu can be eaten for a long time.

After checking it, melon seeds, dried fruits, sugar and the like, I need to add it, it snows in the town for days, some shops close early, and some vendors no longer come out of their stalls, so they can't buy these at all.

She took out some chestnuts from the space, changed the knives one by one, and lit the fire in the stove.

Put vegetable oil in the pot, a big spoon of sugar, pour the chestnuts into it, keep stir-frying, about two quarters of an hour, a pot of sugar fried chestnuts out of the pot.

Just about to fry the second pot, the courtyard door rang.

Qiao Mai frowned, wiped his hands to open the door, saw that it was the mayor, and then looked behind him to understand.

"Mayor Town, what's wrong?"

The mayor's face was not good-looking, "The eldest granddaughter of the Yuan family in Lihua Village is gone, and they said they came to you a few days ago?" ”

Qiao Mai glanced at Qiao Jiang, "I don't want to talk about these people, they are really faceless and skinless, they broke off their relatives, turned their faces, and made people block my noses, adults don't come, let the children come, I said can you be thicker?" ”

Qiao Jiang pursed his lips and didn't speak, the guards held an umbrella for the mayor, and Mayor Qian glared at her.

"You said I didn't come to look for you?"

"Here, she said she was hungry, I gave her a big bun and left, what's wrong?"

"The person is gone, and she hasn't gone back yet, they think you left her."

"How is it possible, I can't leave anyone from the Qiao family, the child said, if she can't get something, her family won't let her go back, maybe after leaving from me, she will find a place to stay, right?"

Mayor Qian turned around and looked at Qiao Jiang, "I heard it, I came, I gave a bun, and left." ”

"I don't believe it, she must have hidden my daughter."

"I said that your Qiao family is really good, so cold weather, let a little girl come out to beg for food, don't you have anything to eat at home? No one followed her, and she might have been abducted by some trafficker. ”

"I think you kidnapped it"

"Qiao Jiang, if you dare to frame me, believe it or not, I will sue you in the yamen?"

"Hmph, she's here for you anyway."

"Why is she looking for me? I don't owe her, it's you who are cheap, and you are the ones who let her come to me. ”

Mayor Qian had a headache when he heard this, "She's really gone?" ”

"Eating steamed buns and leaving, or you send guards to inquire from house to house in the town, it will be sunny and daylight, and someone will definitely see it."

"Okay, then the mayor of the town sent a guard to ask first."

Qiao Jiang was anxious at this time, "Town Chief, my daughter must be at her house, you can ask the guards to search directly." ”

The guard gave him a look on his stomach, "You dare to stop the order given by the town chief?" Do you bear the sin of false accusation? If you search no one, you'll go to jail. ”

Qiao Jiang covered his stomach and glared at Qiao Mai, "You are really ruthless, but you just let the children come to you to ask for something, and you actually detain people and don't let them go home?" ”

Qiao Mai pointed at God and swore an oath, "If I detain your daughter, I will not be able to die a good death." ”

"You!"

Qiao Mai rolled his eyes, and immediately smiled at the mayor, "That girl is not young, and it is unlikely that she will be abducted, so you can go to the shops on both sides of the official road to inquire." ”

The mayor left with the guards, and Qiao Jiang looked up at Qiao Mai.

"People have to talk about their conscience, sister."

"Ahh

Qiao Mai turned around and went back to plug the courtyard door, and went back to the kitchen to continue her sugar-fried chestnuts.

As soon as she fried two pots, someone knocked on the door again, and she frowned and wanted to be annoyed.

He came out and opened the door angrily to see that it was the Yuan family who had come back, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and took the New Year's goods in his hand.

"Coming back?"

"Well, plug in the door, I've almost bought it."

The two of them took the things and went straight to the warehouse, and after putting the things inside, the Yuan family went to the kitchen to light a fire for her.

Smelling the sweet chestnut, he involuntarily took one and ate it.

"Your fried food is so delicious, the chestnuts are floury and sweet."

"If it's delicious, you can eat more."

"The guard of the Qiao family found out about the girl, and said that the Yaxing sold her to a big family in the county, and her father was very happy to find it, and he didn't ask how the child was, but first asked where the money was sold, and he was so angry that the mayor of the town asked the guard to beat him."

"And then?"

"Yaxing said that this little girl sold herself, and the silver is in her own hands, guess what happened to Qiao Jiang?"

"You must have inquired where that family was, and then you couldn't wait to hire an ox cart to go to the county seat?"

Yuan Jiaqi smiled and praised her, "You are so smart." ”

"It's not that I'm smart, it's that his family is so virtuous, there is no human taste at all, there is only money in his eyes, if the little girl is smart, she will definitely leave the silver on the body, if she is not smart, she will give it to him."

"Both of our families are like this, and sometimes I really can't figure it out."

"Bad nature, you don't need to figure it out, but anyone with a little conscience can't do this kind of thing to suck the blood of their own children."

The two of them had only said a few words, and the courtyard door rang again, and Qiao Mai took a deep breath to give himself some relief.

Yuan Jiaqi saw that her face was not good-looking, and immediately got up and went to open the door.

I was greeted by a chubby girl, dressed in satin clothes and a fur collar.

When she saw Yuan Jiaqi, her eyes were obsessed, and she opened her mouth to say:

"Yuan Lang, I finally saw you."

"I'm sorry, this girl, please respect yourself, Yuan doesn't know you."

Qiao Mai, who had been suppressing the fire in the kitchen for a long time, carried a stick in his hand, shook it again and again, and endured it without making a fire.

"Yuan Lang, I'm from Tiannan Town, and I want to marry you as the girl."

"Yuan has entered Qiao's house, girl, please go back."

The fat girl smiled and wanted to enter the courtyard, but Qiao Mai also rushed to the gate of the courtyard at this time, stretched out her hand and pushed the girl out, and almost fell to the ground.

Originally, she was still pretending to be a lady, but when Qiao Mai pushed her like this, her original form was immediately revealed.

She snorted and pointed at Qiao Mai and scolded.

"You're that slut, aren't you? It was you who snatched my Yuan Lang, right? ”

"Where did you come from, a stinky and shameless thing, come to my house to spill, no wonder you haven't married until now, and you want to use money to buy Ruyi Langjun, but unfortunately your calculation is wrong."

"The old lady fought with you, you robbed my man, and you dared to insult the old lady."

This movement attracted the surrounding neighbors, no matter how cold the weather was and how heavy the snow was, they had to come out and have a look.

Qiao Mai threw the stick in his hand and grabbed the fat girl's hair with both hands.

Women fight, there are not many moves, grabbing the hair is victory, her girl wanted to come over to help, but was kicked aside by Qiao Mai, and lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.

Using this skill, she tugged at her hair and began to attack.

Wisps of green silk fell like this, and the fat girl in pain couldn't stop screaming.

But that cheap mouth didn't fall behind at all, "Do you dare to let go of the old lady's hair, the old lady beat you all over the ground looking for teeth." ”

"You are a rotten street that no one wants, and you want to buy my man with a few stinky money, and I don't look at how many pounds and taels you have, telling you that my wife is also not bad for money, and he would rather plug the door upside down than want you, which shows how bad you are."

"You're rotten, your family is rotten."

"Then let me see who's rotten today."

Qiao Mai, who was grabbing her hair, took out a free hand, smack, smack, smack, smack, and slapped her big mouth hard.
