When Lu Tiantian was half asleep and half awake, he vaguely smelled a fragrance.

Rubbing her eyes, she followed the aroma all the way to the bottom of the bed, and finally reached the kitchen door.

Seeing Xia Yao who was busy working in front of the stove, her eyes lit up, and she hugged Xia Yao's hand with her milk: "Auntie! You're back! ”

Listening to Lu Tiantian's milky words, Xia Yao's heart softened.

She pinched Lu Tiantian's nose: "Wait in the hall, Auntie will make you something to eat!" ”

The name of the medicinal diet made by Xia Yao today is simple and rude - ginseng stewed chicken.

The ginseng was just picked this morning, and it was still fresh, and it was the time when the medicine was at its fullest.

When the lid is lifted, the chicken broth is golden brown, the chicken is tender, and the ginseng is cut into slices and scattered all over the chicken broth, so fragrant that it makes people's noses fall off.

Lu Tiantian took a deep breath of the aroma and obediently sat outside with a small bench.

She didn't notice Lu Jing sitting by the stove watching the fire at all.

Seeing Lu Tiantian leaving, Lu Jing's face sank, and he raised his eyes to look at Xia Yao.

Xia Yao raised his eyebrows at him: "No way, I'm just so popular." ”

"Alright, let's take the chicken soup out."

Xia Yao took the dishes and chopsticks and walked out with a relaxed pace.

Lu Jing was in a complicated mood and followed behind Xia Yao.

The aroma of ginseng stewed chicken instantly filled the entire space, Lu Tiantian and Lu Changbai sat on the left and right, their eyes firmly locked on the chicken soup held by Lu Jing.

Xia Yao opened the lid of the pot and first brought a bowl of chicken soup to one person.

Lu Jing knew that Xia Yao was willing to eat, but after seeing the ginseng slices inside, his eyelids jumped suddenly: "You ......"

"So many." Xia Yao didn't care, "I just used half of it, just enough for the four of us to eat, after all, we are weak and can't make up for it." ”

Of the four of them, only Lu Jing is in good health, but Lu Jing has been hungry all these years, so he also needs to supplement nutrition.

Xia Yao deliberately controlled the amount of ginseng to ensure that everyone could drink this bowl of chicken soup.

Lu Jing's eyes are complicated, ginseng is not cheap, even if it is placed at the purchase station, it can be sold for a high price of 100 yuan.

He didn't expect Xia Yao to use half of it in this pot of soup.

In the early years, he wouldn't have cared about this, but now he knows the importance of money.

However, Xia Yao looked indifferent, and Lu Jing still didn't speak.

The two little beans had already drunk the chicken soup happily, even if he was proposing to compensate Xia Yao now, what was the point? He had money in his hands, but every dollar had to be broken in half and spent.

He could only keep this matter in his heart and compensate Xia Yao later.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jing drank the chicken soup with his head bored.

Xia Yao's eyebrows were crooked, and Yu Guang had been paying attention to Lu Jing's actions, and she was relieved to see that Lu Jing didn't say anything to compensate.

She believes that as long as she and Lu Jing have a back and forth, the cooperation alliance between the two will definitely become stronger and stronger!

A pot of chicken soup is divided for four people, and then some noodles are served on the chicken soup, and dinner is over.

Xia Yao sat in the courtyard, looking up at the sunset overhead, listening to the sound of Lu Jing washing dishes outside the door, and was in a very good mood.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Xia Zhiqing!"

Aunt Niu's voice came in.

"Changbai!"

Ergou was also shouting outside.

As soon as Lu Changbai heard his friend's voice, his eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the door.

And standing outside the door was Aunt Niu's family of three.

She carried Ergou and brought Ergou to Xia Yao.

"Xia Zhiqing, we're here to thank you!" Aunt Niu gratefully shook Xia Yao's hand, "Don't dislike it!" ”

Uncle Niu is a person who is not good at words, and as soon as Aunt Niu finished saying this, he brought things in.

Xia Yao suddenly saw several chickens tied together.

She vaguely remembered that in addition to Aunt Osmanthus, Aunt Niu's family raised the most chickens - but she didn't raise them at home, she raised them in the back mountains.

Many people in the brigade did this, so no one reported Aunt Niu, and her small chicken farm continued until a real chicken farm was built in the village.

In this way, Aunt Niu raises all free-range chickens! It's definitely delicious!

"No way!" Although Xia Yao coveted these chickens, he still resolutely refused Aunt Niu, "I didn't want to save the second dog." ”

Aunt Niu listened to Xia Yao's words and was even more moved.

"No way!" Aunt Niu stuffed everything into Xia Yao's hands.

The chickens in his hand were still alive, Xia Yao's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to think about the touch of these chickens.

Aunt Niu didn't know Xia Yao's mental activities, and chattered: "Xia Zhiqing, I know you are a good person!" But if you save Ergou, you save our family's life! If it weren't for the fact that our family didn't have much money, we wouldn't have given you just a few chickens! ”

"You just take it!" Aunt Niu said, "I heard Aunt Osmanthus say, you like to eat chicken the most!" You can eat one a day! ”

"Home-raised chickens are not worth much!" Aunt Niu persuaded while stuffing the rest of the things into Lu Changbai and Lu Tiantian's hands.

As for Lu Jing...... Aunt Niu didn't dare to look at Lu Jing's cold face.

Xia Yao still had to push back, but Aunt Niu had already dragged the second dog out and ran out.

Xia Yao didn't have time to stop it, so he hurriedly stuffed the remaining money in his pocket into Ergouzi's hands.

The second dog was still stunned, so he was dragged out of the Lu house by Aunt Niu.

Uncle Niu was silent, and when he looked at Xia Yao's four people, he ran out with a red face.

Xia Yao sighed: "I just stuffed ten yuan in Aunt Niu's pocket. ”

But to buy these five or six chickens, I'm afraid it's not enough.

"The rest of the money will be used as the consultation fee for the second dog." Lu Jing spoke.

Xia Yao had no choice but to nod her head in response, she could see that Aunt Niu really wanted to thank herself, if she calculated too clearly with Aunt Niu, Aunt Niu would feel uncomfortable.

Everyone is in the same village, looking up and not looking down, it is best to have contacts and contacts.

And Aunt Niu, who came out of the Lu family, patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, our legs and feet are fast!" Xia Zhiqing can't catch up with us! Otherwise, we'll have to go home with those chickens. ”

Thinking of the chickens she had worked so hard to raise, Aunt Niu felt distressed for a moment, but looking at the lively second dog, she secretly said in her heart, let alone six chickens, even if it is sixty chickens, she is willing to do it!

But Aunt Niu didn't be happy for too long, and she saw the very obvious unity in Ergou's hand.

"Who gave it to you!" Aunt Niu raised her eyebrows coldly, and she didn't have to guess to know that it must have been given by Xia Yao.

"Why are you so useless!" Aunt Niu hates that iron can't become steel, "Let's go to give Xia Zhiqing a thank you gift!" How did you get the money back! ”

Ergou blinked his eyes and replied in a low voice: "You ran too fast, I haven't said anything yet, and you're here." ”

Aunt Niu was so angry that she couldn't get up in one breath, and she was about to scold when she pointed to Ergou's head, but Uncle Niu stopped her: "Okay, I see that Xia Zhiqing is not in good health, and when she goes to work, you can help her do more, which is also a thank you gift." ”

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Niu immediately nodded: "Yes!" When the time comes, Xia Zhiqing's work, I will cover it! ”

Mrs. Tian passed by Aunt Niu's family, and her eyes were red with jealousy when she heard this, Xia Yao just made a few movements, and she got six chickens from the Niu family? And Aunt Niu gave her a coolie!

She'll do too! It's just a few hammers on the stomach!

"Don't be fooled!" Mrs. Tian laughed weirdly, "Who knows if the peach pit was fed to your second dog by Lu Changbai's little cub?" What kind of good person can a little cub of the landlord's family be? ”

Aunt Niu was about to scold when she heard this, but Ergou was one step ahead of her, rushing to Mrs. Tian like a small cannonball, knocking Mrs. Tian over.

"I ate it myself! You're bad! Ergou was only six years old, and he didn't know how to clearly express what he thought in his heart, but he stared at Mrs. Tian deadly.

Without waiting for Mrs. Tian to pat her legs and call, Aunt Niu picked up Ergou and spat fiercely: "I'm bah!" ”

"At your level, are you still sowing discord here? Who doesn't know that your Tian family is the most vicious! We won't be fooled! Let's go! ”

After Aunt Niu finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Mrs. Tian just wanted to blackmail the Niu family, but the Niu family left, and the people around watched her fall to the ground, all of them took a detour without exception, as if she didn't exist.

"It's all a bunch of cold-hearted people!" Mrs. Tian held her waist and scolded all the way, "When our Tian family is developed, we don't have your good fruit to eat!" ”

The next morning, the sky was faintly bright.

Xia Yao walked out of the door with a quick knock.

Captain Zhou's old face was long, and he stood there shaking off his pipe.

Seeing that it was Xia Yao who opened the door, he was stunned: "What about Lu Jing?" ”

Xia Yao yawned: "He's out." ”

As soon as he heard Lu Jing go out, Captain Zhou suddenly became vigilant, his eyes rolled wildly, and he looked at Lu's house.

Lu Jing's kid shouldn't have listened to persuasion and went to the mountains again, right?

Captain Zhou was so anxious that he didn't dare to show it in front of Xia Yao.

"Uncle Zhou."

It wasn't until Lu Jing's voice sounded that Captain Zhou came back to his senses.

"You kid!" Captain Zhou patted Lu Jing on the shoulder, "Where did you go early in the morning?" ”

"Went and picked some food." Lu Jing had green vegetables in his hands.

When Captain Zhou saw it, he nodded with satisfaction, but he didn't want to do those speculative things!

"You are ready to prepare, come with me to the county."

"To the county?" Xia Yao's beautiful eyes widened, "What are you doing in the county?" ”

"There are a few more educated youths coming down." Captain Zhou was so angry that he couldn't do it, "The cadres of several of our brigades have summed it up, and we want to go to the county to find the leader to explain!" ”

"Every year, there are educated young people who come down, and they never see them back, if they are all hard-working, it's okay, but there are a bunch of delicate young masters and young masters! That's all the rations for our brigade......"

When Captain Zhou said this, he realized that Xia Yao in front of him was also a knowledgeable youth, and closed his mouth in embarrassment.

But a question popped up in Xia Yao's heart.

This group of educated youth...... Is Xia Qingqing also in it?
