Walking to the street, Dongzhu and Fengping took the cat back first, Haizhu went to the street to buy rice cakes and bean sprouts, cooked porridge at home, went back to fry two plates of bean sprouts, drank something thin and ate something dry.

The sun showed out of the sea, and the roof ridges still hung with rain sprinkled a layer of warm light, and the man who sold water and firewood walked in the sun, listening to the creak of the wooden door opening and closing, asking loudly whether to buy firewood or water. A yellow shadow ran over, and the people in the alley looked over, it was a big yellow dog, and the man who sold the water shouted, "Whose dog ran out?" Yellow, quite big, quite fat. ”

The person who heard the sound came out, only to see a dog's tail, and the yellow dog turned out of the alley in a blink of an eye.

"It seems to be raised by Haizhu's mother, and I have seen her mother bring a dog over before."

The man who sold the water didn't care who the dog was, he took the opportunity to ask, "Big brother, do you want to buy water?" Two pennies a load. ”

Xiao Huang has run into the bluestone alley, this road it has walked many times, although the heavy rain washed away the smell of its mark, but how to walk it still remembers.

"Yo, Xiao Huang is here?" Father Hong Shan came out to pour swill, he glanced at the mouth of the alley, but he didn't see anyone, he shouted: "Haizhu, Xiao Huang is here." ”

Haizhu put down the chopsticks and walked out, but before he walked out of the door, the big yellow dog ran in with his tail wagging his tail first, and as soon as he saw someone, he lowered his ears to show goodwill.

Haizhu went out to take a look in the alley, came in and said, "You came here with a dog?" ”

The big yellow dog sniffed everywhere in the yard, turned his head to look at the sound, wagged his tail and continued to sniff, the chicken bone that Chaoping had thrown in the corner last night was found by it, and it hung its head with the bone in its mouth and clicked and chewed.

"It's sneaking over to ask for bones." Grandma Qi said.

Feng Ping broke the rice cake and threw it to it, Xiao Huang sniffed it, ate it and chewed it for a long time before swallowing it, and his tail hung down, looking listless.

"It only stopped raining at night, and I didn't stew bone broth last night." Haizhu sat down to eat, she drank porridge and looked at it, and when she saw it with a dog's face, she felt funny and angry, and she didn't invite it to come, and she wasn't happy that she didn't treat it to the big bones.

"It smuggled in, didn't it?" Dongzhu said.

"It should be, I'll send it back after eating." Haizhu said.

And the big yellow dog couldn't wait to go back, it didn't want to eat the bones and thought about leaving, Haizhu had to take a rice cake and eat it while walking, and followed it out of town.

A person and a dog can coexist peacefully on the road, and Haizhu occasionally talks to the dog, and it also enthusiastically wags its tail in response, but as soon as it walks into Hongshi Village, it changes its face and stares at her vigilantly as if it is crazy.

"Wang—" The big yellow dog barked at Haizhu in a posture of blocking the way.

Haizhu stood in place confused, she stared at the big yellow dog wondering if there were two dogs hidden in its body, one moment she went to her house to ask for food, and the next moment she changed her dog face, looking at her like an enemy.

When the big yellow dog saw that she was not leaving, he ran home.

Haizhu followed, and was spotted by it and turned back to scream.

"Isn't this Haizhu? Xiao Huang, do you bite her because you don't want to live? The man who lived next to the road came out with a bowl.

Xiao Huang wagged his tail at the man, turned his head and stared at Haizhu again, and ran quickly in the direction of home.

Haizhu stood in place and chatted with people, and saw that the big yellow dog had turned a corner, she followed again, and when she was about to reach the door of the house, she heard the dog barking, and the dog that ran out of the door was beaten.

"Mother." She shouted first.

"My eldest sister is here." Pingsheng ran out happily, Qin Jingniang put down the stick and walked out, she asked, "Why did you come so early?" Come in and sit, have you eaten? ”

Haizhu walked into the yard and glanced at the big yellow dog, which was standing against the wall with its tail between its legs, staring at the movement here with its little eyes.

"Xiao Huang ran to my side early in the morning, there are no stewed bones at home, and it is coming back again, so I will send it back." Haizhu glanced at the dog and said, "I thought you knew about its past, but you didn't know?" ”

"I opened the door in the morning and let it go out to and pee, I didn't stare at it, so I came in to cook, or I got up to look for the dog and couldn't find me only to find that it was not at home, I just thought it was playing in the village." Qin Jingniang couldn't cry or laugh, she pointed at the dog and scolded: "It's not that the family doesn't give you food, why is the dog's mouth so greedy?" I'm not afraid that people on the road will beat you up and eat dog meat. ”

The big yellow dog lay on the ground without squeaking, wilting and squeezing his ears.

"I'll keep it on a leash later, this dog has a lot of eyes." Qin Jingniang washed her hands and went into the house to serve food, and she asked Haizhu to sit down and eat again.

Haizhu had nothing to do, so she stayed and ate half a bowl of egg custard with Pingsheng. After dinner, she helped her mother dry the quilt and move the suitcase, and took the dog with Pingsheng to accompany her to the river outside the village to wash clothes.

"I'm going to cut some meat, and you're going to leave me here for dinner at noon?" Qin Jingniang asked.

"Okay, you cook more, I guess Dongzhu and Fengping will come over at noon." Haizhu deliberately glanced at the big yellow dog and said, "Don't buy bones, I don't like bones, and don't buy chickens." ”

Qin Jingniang didn't believe it, she took the vegetable basket to the town, bought a rooster and five ribs and two catties of pork belly, and stewed them all when she came back.

The big yellow dog smelled the fragrance and stayed outside the kitchen door, and Haizhu walked around the yard, accompanying him to plan for life.

Near noon, the big yellow dog suddenly stood up and looked out, Haizhu saw its movement and walked out of the door, it was Dongzhu and Fengping who came over with Chaoping.

The big yellow dog opened its mouth to bark, but before it could make a sound, he gave it a mouth first, "Mother, Xiao Huang is very stupid, it knows my brother and my sister, and it barks every time they come over." ”

"It's stupid, it's overdone." Haizhu snorted coldly.

Qin Jingniang smiled, she wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen, and said, "The chicken is cooked, you wash your hands, and I will move the table to prepare for dinner." ”

A bowl of fried chicken, a can of kelp stewed pork ribs, then a dish of sour bamboo shoots fried meat, clam and tofu soup, a plate of steamed dried fish, a plate of fried vegetables, six people and six dishes.

During the meal, the big yellow dog lay under the table and gnawed on the bones, gnawing and clattering.

After sitting for a while after dinner, Haizhu wanted to take his younger brothers and sisters home, and Pingsheng also went with him, and Qin Jingniang sent them out.

"By the way, mother, there are still clams at home, right? Fill me another packet, you've already eaten what you gave me before. Walking out the door, Haizhu said suddenly.

"Yes, there are quite a few at home, I'll pack you two more." Qin Jingniang turned around and walked in, Haizhu asked her to ask for something, she was happy, she was not afraid that the child would reach out to ask for it, she was afraid that she would be polite and don't want anything.

Haizhu followed, her eyes searching, she took a cleaned bamboo basket from under the eaves and carried it.

The dog, who had been lying on the ground and sleepy, stood up, and it walked up to Haizhu and stared at her anxiously.

"I see that you like to eat dried fish at noon, you take two more dried fish back, I will dry it myself, if you like to eat it, just say it, and I will dry more fish in the future." Qin Jingniang came out with the fish wrapped in oily paper, "Then put it all in the bamboo basket, and I will wash the bamboo basket." ”

Haizhu walked out with a bamboo basket, ignoring the dog who was eager to step on her shoes, and said, "Mother, go to my place for dinner tomorrow morning, and I'll cook noodles tomorrow morning, if you're okay, go and help me." ”

"I'll go to ...... early tomorrow morning" Suddenly hearing a dog barking, Qin Jingniang was startled, she pulled the rope around the dog's neck, slapped it on the head, and scolded: "Don't embarrass me." ”

The loss is a dog, but all individuals, not to mention the three Haizhu sisters and brothers, even outsiders will think that she taught them when they see it.

Xiao Huang whimpered, and watched Haizhu carry its things away, and the more she looked, the more angry she became, and she stood at the door and shouted loudly.

"Come in for me." Qin Jingniang pulled the rope of the dog and walked into the house, closed the door and scolded: "The money in the family is not earned by you, and the things are not bought by you, what are you picking?" ”

The big yellow dog lay on the ground unconvinced.

……

Early the next morning, when Qin Jingniang went out with Pingsheng, she hesitated whether to bring the angry dog, she was still hesitating, and the big yellow dog had already dragged the rope out of the door.

When he arrived at Qingshi Lane, he greeted the people he met sweetly, and the big yellow dog stood beside him and wagged his tail enthusiastically, looking like a good dog.

Qin Jingniang didn't talk to anyone, she walked into the yard and rolled up her sleeves and asked, "Haizhu, what am I doing?" ”

"Sister-in-law, come in for me, I'll go over to coax the child, Xingzhu didn't sleep well last night, and she has been making trouble this morning." Qi Laosan saw her as if he had seen a savior.

"Then you go over here, I'm busy here." Qin Jingniang saw that someone handed the copper plate, she changed her hand and quickly counted it and threw it into the cash box.

"The third child, the dog is still outside, you shouted Pingsheng to lead it into the yard and leash it." She admonished.

"Are you too embarrassed to come here?" Haizhu is novel, she took a pig barrel bone and walked out, just out of the gate, the big yellow dog turned upside down, opened the dog's mouth and stuck out his tongue, collapsed his ears, and made a flattering gesture.

Haizhu knocked it hatefully, it wagged its tail happily, and when the bones were in its mouth, it turned around and ran to the next yard, and went in to lie down in the old place and gnaw on the bones.

Haizhu has a kind of grievance of hitting the cotton with her fist, and she is a cautious person when she cares about a dog, and she feels angry if she doesn't care.

This dog is very annoying, Haizhu thought that she and Yu Laishun could get along peacefully, but instead ate turtles on his dog.

Chapter 187: I Won't Change My Mind

In order to cure this two-faced and stabbed yellow dog, Haizhu asked her mother to bring her something from home every time she came, pickles, pickled bamboo shoots, and a few pieces of firewood. When she was idle, she still went over from time to time to take food and drink from under the nose of the big yellow dog.

In the evening of this day, she went to the big yellow dog again, and brought a basket of vegetable buns that had just come out of the pot back for dinner, and the big yellow dog was tied to the yard and whined angrily, and she left happily.

When passing by the dock, he saw an official ship coming from the west, Haizhu turned the road and walked over, squinting at the boat, not sure if it was Han Ji and his mother coming.

"I'll take a bun to eat?" Du Xiaowu asked.

"Take a few more, my mother's steamed, just out of the pot." Haizhu said.

"It's good to have a mother, the steamed pot steamed buns are still thinking about you." Du Xiaowu sighed, he squatted and ate a bun in one hand, he also looked at the boat on the sea, and asked, "Is this your mother-in-law's family here?" ”

"I don't know if it's or not." Haizhu took a bamboo basket and took a bun to send to her grandmother who was sitting on the stone waiting for the low tide, she didn't persuade anything, only said: "It's windy on the beach, come tomorrow and bring more coats, and wrap a headscarf on your head, so as not to have a headache when the wind blows for a long time." ”

The old grandmother glanced at Haizhu, took the bun and said nothing, her eyes returned to the sea, and occasionally she was attracted by the people laughing at the beach.

The official ship on the sea put away its sails and was slowly heading towards the pier, Haizhu saw clearly the people standing at the bow of the boat, Han Ji and his father were standing at the bow of the boat, and the two of them were tall.

Du Xiaowu finished eating the last bite of the bun, stood up and went to the dock to greet him, he thought to himself that Yongning had an extra sea pearl, and he would be able to see high-ranking officials every three or five days.

The boat stopped, the guards put the wooden ladder down, Mrs. Hou took the grandmother and the maid down first, Haizhu glanced at Han Ji, walked up and said, "Uncle, you are here, and your long life is talking about you every day." ”

"I don't want to talk about him, I don't have to worry about entrusting him to you." Mrs. Hou smiled and patted Haizhu's shoulder and said, "What do you mean by holding a bun?" Coming to the docks for business? ”

"When I came back from my mother's place, I came to see the boat when I passed by." The bamboo basket with the bun was handed to the maid, and Haizhu turned around and said hello: "Uncle, are you in good health?" ”

Admiral Han nodded, it was uncomfortable to stay at home, and he came out with the boat to scatter his mind.

"Let's go back and talk about it." Han Ji spoke.

The group left the dock and walked to the town, passing by the restaurant, Han Ji sent the little servant to book a private room, he glanced at Haizhu and asked, "You haven't gone back yet, have you?" ”

Haizhu: "...... Went back. ”

"Send someone to pick up your mother-in-law and Pingsheng, it's not far away." Mrs. Hou said.

"No need, my mother has already cooked." Haizhu understood Han Ji's thoughts, she refused directly, and said, "My mother steamed steamed buns, and when I left, she and Pingsheng were already eating, and they must have eaten at this time." ”

Han Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at her and said, "You accompany me tomorrow, I brought something to make up for my aunt." ”

Haizhu was a little skeptical of the truth of his words, but nodded in response.

went back to rest for a pillar of incense, and when it was dark, the two families went to the restaurant again.

Get along more, the two families are getting along more and more harmoniously, Qi Laosan no longer stammers when he sees Admiral Han and Mrs. Hou, and can chat a few words before and after meals, he has worked in Yanting for several years, and there are endless words to say on this point.

"Your family has traveled all the way by boat, shall we go back and rest early?" Grandma Qi interrupted the third child and said, "The boat is shaking badly on the sea, and people are also affected by the boat. ”

"That's true, we got up early, and we got on the carriage early in the morning." Mrs. Hou was indeed tired, so she got up and walked out first.

Grandma Qi pulled Haizhu to follow, not giving Han Ji an excuse to take her alone, she went back and closed the door, she whispered: "Don't mess around with that kid's temperament, your mother-in-law is here, if you let her find out, you won't be good." Don't believe this, I've been a mother-in-law, and I know it in my heart. ”

"I believe it, don't worry, I know it in my heart." Haizhu gives a guarantee.

The night passed in a flash, and as soon as the dawn was shining in the sky, Han Ji got up to practice martial arts. At this time, the big kitchen was also busy with breakfast according to his requirements, he finished practicing and went to the kitchen to carry water, and when he finished taking a shower and changing clothes, he opened the door and came out, and the cook happened to come over with breakfast and a food box.

Han Ji directly took someone to bring breakfast to the next door, this cook was found by him from Beijing, and he kept it in Fucheng for a month, so that she learned the food of Guangnan.

Haizhu was helping Dongzhu cut leeks, and when she saw someone coming in, she washed her hands, walked over and asked, "It's so fragrant, isn't it the rice you bought?" ”

"No, it was made by Aunt Qu, she was invited by me from Beijing, and she has been in my cousin's mansion before, and she is the cousin who compiled the recipe." Han Ji introduced, and said: "In the future, let Aunt Qu cook whatever you want to eat, and she will stay here to take care of you and my mother and have a long-lived diet." ”
