Lu Yao and Qiu Ling's little hands grabbed the chopsticks on the table, constantly beating, like two flexible elves, only their shadows, not their shapes.

Soon, their little mouths were stuffed with food, and their cheeks were bulging, like two cute humanoid hamsters.

"Eat slowly, let the girl be a little bit! Men should be generous, you know!"

Seeing this, Zhang Laohan patted Lu Yao's head angrily and motioned him to move his chopsticks slowly.

Five old people, one woman, and two children eat 12 dishes together, which is actually very abundant, so there is no need to worry about not eating enough.

After Lu Yao was slapped by Zhang Laohan, the anger in his heart that was pitted by the system was slightly vented, and he suddenly slowed down the speed of eating.

Qiu Ling on the side glanced at her nurse, and then silently slowed down, picked up the bowl, took a bite of food and a mouthful of rice, and became a little lady when eating.

The old people in the village all smiled when they saw this, whether it was Lu Yao or Qiu Ling, they had already become baby bumps in the eyes of the old people, and they loved them very much.

Maybe it's because they don't have any children!

"Lu Yao, I'm full, let's go out for a walk, shall we?" Qiu Ling wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, turned her head to look at Lu Yao, who was still eating, and proposed.

Lu Yao was actually full, so he stopped his chopsticks, opened his mouth to ask the old people in the village, and politely withdrew from the table.

"Slow down when you go out, there are a lot of people, hold Qiu Ling's hand and don't get lost, this is for you, if you see anything you like, buy it back." ”

Zhang Laohan stretched out his hand and took out a money bag from his arms, put it on the table, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Village Chief Luo on the other side of the table, with a somewhat provocative expression.

Village Chief Luo pursed his lips and snorted, took out a money bag and put it on the table, and said proudly: "Dog baby, come, this is for you, you have worked hard today, take it and spend it." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Laohan said with a smile: "You still have a little conscience." ”

As soon as he said this, Granny Li, Grandpa Ni, the carpenter, and Grandpa Wang the blacksmith were all a little crying and laughing, and then they all took out a money bag and put it on the table.

The meaning is obvious, these are all hard work for Lu Yao, who asked Lu Yao to work so hard to help them sell things this morning?

"The elders give it, and you can't say goodbye. Then I will respectfully accept it, thank you Grandpa Luo, Granny Li, Grandpa Ni, and Grandpa Wang. ”

After Lu Yao finished speaking, he stepped forward quickly, and with a wave of his little hand, he collected all the money bags on the table into his arms.

Then he was very satisfied and pulled Qiu Ling towards the drunken immortal downstairs, he naturally would not be polite to the old man in the village.

"This kid is really not polite at all, I don't know who he followed!"

Zhang Laohan grinned, whispered, raised his wine glass, drank all the wine, and called the shopkeeper to ask for two pots of old wine.

At this time, it was still early and the goods were all sold, so naturally there was time to eat slowly and talk slowly.

"Lu Yao's character is not pretentious, I like it very much, why don't you let him learn blacksmithing with me in the future?"

When Zhang Laohan heard this, he paused in his hand, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Ni Carpenter on the side shouting: "Go, go, how tiring the work of the blacksmith is, Lu Yao, this child is white and clean, and he is very thin, it is better to learn carpenter from me, take it easy, don't you say?

After Carpenter Ni finished speaking, he looked sideways at Village Chief Luo beside him.

Seeing this, Village Chief Luo squinted his eyes slightly, and quietly looked at Zhang Laohan, who was sitting on the opposite side, and the two glanced at each other, and they had already exchanged their opinions with each other.

In their hearts, they were like mirrors, knowing that this Carpenter Ni and the blacksmith Wang meant something, and they did not simply teach the carpenter and blacksmith the trade, but intended to teach the mantle.

"You dead man Luo, are you dumb? Tell me quickly, is it better for this kid Lu Yao to follow me or follow Ni Dalong!" "Seeing that Village Chief Luo was silent for a long time, Blacksmith Wang suddenly glared and shouted.

Although Blacksmith Wang was an old man with gray hair, his physique was much stronger than that of young men, and his temperament was quite strong.

"Right now, Lu Yao, this kid is eight years old, it's time to get on the way, in fact, I have already discussed this matter with Old Ghost Luo, it's better to go back today, let's talk to that kid and find out what he means, how about it?" Village Chief Luo shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a serious face.

As soon as his words fell, Carpenter Ni and Blacksmith Wang glanced at each other, and they were a little unconvinced.

"What's there to fight about? It's better to teach Lu Yao this kid together, how about it?" Zhang Laohan put down his wine glass, glanced at them, and said indifferently.

"You old ghost is very greedy! The five of us each have different inheritances, and if we teach them together, the child will not be exhausted to death!" said the blacksmith Wang, glaring at him.

As soon as he said this, there was silence on the table.

Blacksmith Wang immediately reflected it, knowing that he had lost his words, and immediately shut up.

The corners of Granny Li's mouth twitched slightly, her brows furrowed, she coughed weakly, and said slowly: "Lu Yao, this kid is not ordinary, as far as your hair-breaking skills are concerned, he may not be able to see it, and that thing is about to be born, and it is unknown whether there will be time to take care of him at that time!"

She spoke in a deep tone with two intentions.

First, it is to remind them not to say too much in front of outsiders.

The second is to make them not forget their identity and mission.

And the outsider she alluded to was naturally Lin Rong on the side, that is, Qiu Ling's nurse!

Qiu Ling, this girl, was brought to Xiaosang Village by Lin Rong and a middle-aged man named Langling a year ago.

When Lin Rong and Na Langling came to Xiaosang Village, Qiu Ling was already unconscious, and they were all seriously injured.

For the sake of the child, at the same time, I also want to find a companion for the depressed Lu Yao, so that he can have someone to play with, so that he will not be depressed all day long, with a bitter face.

The villagers let them go and gave them a place to stay.

After Qiu Ling woke up, the middle-aged man named Lang Ling left, and he never reappeared since.

On the streets of Ninghai County, Lu Yao took Qiu Ling's pink little hand, wandered gracefully, and walked on the horse road paved with bluestone bricks.

He had no idea that he was being taken in as an apprentice by the old men of the village.

He only knows that the heavy weight in his arms is money!

Although Lu Yao is not a worldly person, and he is not very partial to money, this is a feeling of being affirmed, comfortable!

"Lu Yao, where are we going?" Qiu Ling waved her little hand and grabbed Lu Yao, and asked in a very gentle tone, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

Lu Yao glanced at her sideways, and naturally saw through the little Jiujiu in her heart at a glance, so he quipped: "Naturally, it's just hanging out, eating after dinner, we have all walked around this street once, and we have bought everything that should be bought, and there is nothing new!"

Sure enough, when Qiu Ling heard him say this, her eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, the smile on her face disappeared, and she was still a little sad.

Lu Yao stopped, turned around and stretched out a finger to tap Qiu Ling's forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, I know, let's go, I'll take you to buy the red bean tree, okay?"

Qiu Ling immediately raised her head when she heard this, her face was filled with an excited smile, and then she stepped forward and hugged him all of a sudden.

Lu Yao was hugged by Qiu Ling's sudden hug, and his heart warmed slightly.

Suddenly, I felt that this kind of life was very beautiful.

It's much more comfortable than on Earth, life here is pure, and it's not as tiring as in the previous life.
