Crispy and delicious, the taste is good.
Lu's hand that was scooping water suddenly stiffened, "Leave after eating? Can't we leave tomorrow?"
"It takes half a day to ride a horse to Xiaohe Village." Zhao You Cai said, "There is only Qi over there. Brother Yan is alone, if something happens, I'm afraid it won't be right if I'm not around."
It seems that without you, Lu Qiyan can't live, and the bridge in Xiaohezhuang can't be built. As if.
But then again, the friendship between brothers has always been like this.
There are not many people in the world who can reach this level, so they should be cherished.
That’s why I feel so sour in my heart...
Lu curled her lips and said, "Sure, you have many reasons, I’ll listen to you."
On the lips Full of disgust, Lu's hands did not pause at all. He took out the dumplings that had been wrapped before and were now frozen hard by the cold winter, put them in a pot of cold water, and cooked them while thawing.
While calling Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu to get some tofu slices and braised pork.
Tofu slices and cabbage hearts are served cold. The braised pork does not need to be heated. Just cut it into slices and put it on the plate. When all the side dishes are ready, the dumplings in the pot are already cooked. Take them out with a strainer and put them on the plate. Then put them on the plate. A bowl of hot dumpling soup was served on the table in the main room.
Zhao Youcai was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. Now that he saw so much food, he didn't care about anything else and just started to wolf down it.
Seeing her man eating deliciously and satisfactorily, Lu’s lips once again smiled.
Here, Xia Mingyue was in her room, unpacking the small baggage that Zhao Youcai brought back.
The four corners of the small baggage were tied together very tightly. When Xia Mingyue struggled to untie it, she found that there was another layer of wrapping inside.
What an extraordinary thing, it has to be wrapped in two layers?
Xia Mingyue chuckled and continued to unpack.
After untying it, there is another layer inside.
Unlock it again, and there is another layer inside...
Xia Mingyue, "..."
After patiently untying six layers of the baggage, Xia Mingyue finally saw what was really wrapped inside - two strings of copper coins.
Each string of copper coins has four copper coins tied with a red rope, and a red tassel is attached to the end.
Xia Ming saw something like this when he was wandering on the street a few months ago. He said that copper coins tied together with red thread, worn on the body, or hung on the bedside, can ward off evil spirits, health, safety, Bringing good fortune and other good wishes.
Lu Qiyan gave her this, hoping that she would be in good health, safe and prosperous in the new year?
However, the copper coin string was tied a little crookedly, and even the tassels at the bottom were tied a little rough, and the ends were cut a little unevenly.
With such quality, if it were sold on the market, I'm afraid it would be disliked by others.
Or is it that Lu Qiyan tied the copper coins himself?
Then I will have to ask him when he comes back next time.
Xia Mingyue tied the two strings of copper coins on both sides of the newly hung curtain for the New Year.
The lotus-colored curtains and the red copper coin strings are even more bright and beautiful.
Xia Mingyue stretched out her hand and smoothed the tassels under the copper coins, her eyebrows creasing with a smile.
After noon, Zhao Youcai walked back, carrying large and small bags with him.
The sun slid from the highest point to the west. At this time, Mao Sanli was having lunch with his master Yin Lingyou. There were not many meat patties left, and a pot of cabbage and tofu soup from Maosanli.
Yin Lingyou slowly chewed the meatloaf that had been heated by Maosanli and sighed repeatedly, "This meatloaf is still delicious."
"Yes." Mao Sanli nodded, "It's just that if you want to buy it in the future, it will take a little effort."
"Yes." Yin Lingyou nodded and picked up the cake crumbs that fell on his sparse beard. , stuffed it into his mouth, and sighed after a moment, "No matter how hard you try, you can buy it in the end. Unlike Xiao Hei, no matter how hard you try, you can't get it back."
After that, Yin Lingyou walked away It was a long sigh.
It's full of regrets, even a little sad.
Seeing Master like this, Mao Sanli couldn't bear it. He paused while pulling the tofu into his mouth. After a long time, he put the bowl down and whispered, "Master, actually when I went to the county town to buy meatloaf, I saw Xiao Hei.”
Yin Lingyou was stunned, "Where is it?"
"At the home of Madam Xia who sold me the meat pie." Mao Sanli answered truthfully, "It has a new name now, called Wujin."
"That is to say, Xiao Hei has a new family now?" Yin Lingyou paused and stroked the beard on his chin, "It's not bad. How is it doing now? Then Lady Xia How do you treat it? "
"This is actually a bit unnecessary for me to ask. Xiao Hei is smart and sometimes as smart as a human being. He must be very lovable and will be treated well. "
"That's right..." Yin Lingyou glanced at Mao Sanli, "Since you have seen Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei must have also seen you. Does he not want to come back with you?"
Dogs are loyal to their owners, and they have stayed in his home for more than half a year, so they should have feelings for them.
"Ms. Xia treats Xiao Hei well. Xiao Hei has also become a lot fatter, and the hair on his body is all shiny and smooth." Mao Sanli said, "It's just that after Xiao Hei saw me, not only did he not think about Come back with me, even avoid me, don't want to recognize me, it seems like it is very afraid that I will take it away..."
"Why is this?" Yin Lingyou was puzzled.
Again, dogs are affectionate animals.
Xiao Hei is smarter than ordinary dogs, so he should be more affectionate.
For example, after they adopted Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei would go out to hunt alone at the foot of a nearby mountain. He would bring back the hares and pheasants he occasionally hunted and put them at the door of the kitchen.
We even go to the trees to pick wild fruits and bring them back when the fruits are ripe in summer and autumn.
These are obviously done by Xiao Hei to thank them for adopting him.
How could such a little black guy not want to get to know Mao Sanli?
Yin Lingyou thought this way, shaking his head like a rattle, "No way, you must have admitted your mistake, and it is definitely not Xiao Hei."
"It's definitely Xiao Hei." Mao Sanli said very firmly, "Let's not mention that there are no two identical dogs in this world. Besides, if it's not Xiao Hei, it's a completely unknown dog. Why would it? Avoiding me?”
“So, this Wu Jin must be Xiao Hei! But I really can’t figure out why. Why are you hiding from me like this? After all, we have adopted him for more than half a year. That Lady Xia is not the original owner of Xiao Hei, but also adopted him halfway. Logically speaking, there is no reason to only be close to Lady Xia and not recognize us..."< br>
Before Mao Sanli finished speaking, Yin Lingyou stood up and walked out with his hands behind his back.
“Where are you going, master?” Mao Sanli walked out.
Before leaving, after hesitating for a moment, he reached out and picked up the half-eaten green onion meatloaf and took a quick bite.
"Go to Mrs. Xia's house in the county seat!" Yin Lingyou kept walking.
Go and see what is going on.
They both adopted Xiao Hei, but the final results were completely different. Are they worse than Madam Xia? (End of this chapter)
