My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

The Xu family's dinner was more lively than any other in the village. Except for Xu Chunshan and Zhang Xiulan, who were walking around in the shops in the city during the day, Xu Dalang and the others were all back.

In addition to Zhao Wenshan's family of three, there were about ten people in total, and they sat at two tables. The main room of the upper house was very lively, the brazier was heating it, and it was extremely hot.

When the weather is cold, you need to eat something hot. Ma made a big pot of pork vermicelli and cabbage stewed with hot rice, which is really appetizing.

Vermicelli are potato vermicelli produced in the Xu family factory. Nowadays they are sold in shops in the city. For fifteen cents a handful, you can cook a large pot of vermicelli. People like to buy this potato vermicelli for their family dining tables. A good addition to the dish.

This potato vermicelli becomes soft, glutinous and slippery when eaten. It can be eaten by the elderly and children. It is really popular.

Everyone in the Xu family also likes to eat this.

There was no one else, we were all a family, there was no need to be polite, just a pot of pork stewed with vermicelli and cabbage on the table, and a bowl of white rice for each person, and the food was delicious.

Ma was originally worried that Xu Yinyin would not be used to it, but seeing her holding a rice bowl mixed with soup and eating cabbage, vermicelli and meat cubes happily, she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Si Ya became a Princess, that’s still Siya.

"I heard that the mustard greens in the back mountain are growing very tender this year. I'll dig some tomorrow and we can make mustard green dumplings to eat!" she said to Xu Yinyin.

Xu Yinyin sucked in a stick of potato flour, chewed it and swallowed it, and then said: "Would you like to eat for lunch? I will go back to the city tomorrow."

As soon as Ma heard this, he said: "Then let's eat it for lunch. You can leave after eating, and you can bring back some mustard green dumplings for your father and the others!"

Xu Yinyin smiled and said: "Okay!"

After eating, Mrs. Zhou and Luo's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly cleared the table and went to the kitchen to wash up. The table was moved out in the main room and a small table was set up around two braziers, and the whole family sat together. After relaxing by the fire and eating, it's time to go back and wash up and sleep.

Xu Yinyin chatted with her grandma for a long time, which made Brother Cheng and his sister doze off. Mrs. Xu hugged Brother Cheng and took him to sleep.

Not long after, Luo Shi, who had cleaned up the kitchen, came and took Sister Qing, who had fallen asleep in Xu Erlang's arms, back to the house.

Seeing this, Xu Yinyin got up and went back to the third room.

Forsythia had prepared hot water. Xu Yinyin brushed her teeth and washed her face. She then soaked her feet and sat in front of the dressing table to wipe her face.

Listening to the cold wind whistling outside the window, she was thinking about calling Han Qingwen back. There was no need to stare, it was already night, and maybe he wouldn't come, so she might as well come back and sleep warmly.

At this time, a dark shadow was seen on the window sill, and the window was knocked, "Princess."

Hearing Han Qingwen's voice, Xu Yinyin lowered her head to see that there was nothing wrong with herself, and said, "Come in."

After a while, Han Qingwen came in from the door. Forsythia quickly brought a bowl of hot tea and handed it to Han Qingwen without her asking. She also said that the food was still warm in the kitchen and she had to go and bring it to him.

Han Qingwen hurriedly said that he had already eaten, took the bowl, drank the hot tea in one gulp, handed the bowl back, and then turned to Xu Yinyin and said: "Princess, Mao Danniang met a man in the back mountain in the evening. .”

Xu Yinyin felt something when she heard Han Qingwen say that she had already eaten. When she heard this again, she was not so surprised, "What did they say and do? Who is that man?"

Han Qingwen had a good memory and repeated the conversation between Maodan Niang and the man in the evening verbatim.

Xu Yinyin was extremely surprised when she heard this.

In fact, she has been making various assumptions in the past two days. The most outrageous thing is that the man just wants to play with Maodan Niang, but Mao Danniang wants him to marry her, so there is all kinds of pulling and pulling between the two. The man probably already has a family and children. Naturally, he cannot give up his wife and marry another. Or if there is a tigress in the family, he cannot take a concubine. In short, the two of them are not in harmony with each other, but Maodan Mother wanted to make this man responsible, so she wanted to chase him to the capital and make trouble in front of the main wife.

Even Xu Yinyin was thinking that Mao Danniang would ask her to take her with her to Beijing. At the critical moment, she wanted to use her name to gain leverage with the main wife.

In short, she had thought about all kinds of outrageous possibilities, but she didn't expect that the inside story was so complicated.

The Xie family in Beijing?

Grandma of the Hou Mansion?
what with what?
Didn’t this hairy girl escape from Yunzhou?Why is it related to the Hou Mansion in Beijing?
Xu Yinyin felt that things here were a bit complicated.

"So, who is that man?"

Han Qingwen responded: "I followed that man all the way into the city, and saw with my own eyes that he entered a house in Caishi Lane in the south of the city. The word "Liang House" was hung on the door plaque of this house. I heard the woman at the corner gate call him Manager Shen, I followed him to have a look, he is a young manager of the Liang family, he should be quite respected, he lives in a nice house, and he has a little girl to serve him."

The Liang family in Caishi Lane?

Xu Yinyin had an impression. She remembered that the Liang family and the Liu family were related. Liu Yinyin and Hairi, the wife of the Liang family, had also been here before. Liu Yinyin called her cousin.

The steward of the Liang family.
Xu Yinyin took note of this first. What she needed to find out first was who Mao Danniang was. Was she really just an ordinary refugee fleeing from Yunzhou?

But if you think about it carefully, every family in the village came together to escape the famine. Only Mao Danniang and her son came alone.

What did she remember saying at that time?
It was said that Father Maodan was beaten to death while trying to escape from the desert, while the two of them were the only ones who escaped to Yiyang Prefecture alive.

Xu Yinyin's eyes deepened slightly.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xu Yinyin followed Old Man Xu to the village chief Zou's house.Village Chief Zou's family had just finished breakfast when they saw their grandfather and grandson arriving. He hurriedly and enthusiastically greeted them to come in and sit down.

Old Man Xu said: "I came to see you, brother, to have some fun!"

With that said, he walked into Zou's house.

However, Xu Yinyin turned around and entered the Zhang family opposite the Zou family.

The Zhang family has a small population, only Mrs. Zhang, her son and daughter-in-law, and one grandson.

The son and daughter-in-law were both working in the workshop, and the grandson was also studying in the factory school. Mrs. Zhang was the only one at home. She was sitting at the door of the main room sewing a pair of trousers under the bright light. When she saw Xu Yinyin coming in, she stood up immediately, excited but embarrassed and said: " Princess. Princess, please come in and sit down."

After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and brought a small ladle over to place beside the brazier. Then he stepped out of the door and went to the kitchen to mix some sugar water.

Xu Yinyin hurriedly grabbed her and told her not to work, so she came over to sit without drinking water.

"Then sit down, sit down." Mrs. Zhang really didn't know how to deal with the princess. She was so nervous that her throat almost burst out, but she was excited that the princess could come to their house.

Her son and daughter-in-law are now working in the workshop and earn a lot of money in a year!The family has built a brick house, and the Xu family and the princess are their great benefactors!

Xu Yinyin sat down casually, reached out to light the fire on the brazier, and chatted with Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang saw that the princess had no airs at all and spoke very kindly, so she gradually became less embarrassed.

Halfway through the chat, Xu Yinyin started talking about her escape from famine.

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zhang thought of her husband and little girl who died on the way to escape, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Now that life is getting better, I really don't dare to think about it. It's a pity that my wife and daughter are not lucky enough to be here. If not, it would be great for us to be a family now."

Xu Yinyin had personally experienced fleeing from famine, and had also seen with her own eyes the corpses strewn across the fields along the way. Naturally, she was also sad, "Grandma Zhang is not too sentimental. We are much better than some families in the village, aren't we?"

Mrs. Zhang heard the same thing and couldn't help but said: "Yes, if you really want to talk about it, in the Ding family, they are the only two old ones left, and their son, daughter-in-law, and grandson are all dead! If it were me, I would be so sad. ! And the Liu family next door has lost several members of their family, even Mao Dan’s father, isn’t he on the way to escape the famine?”

Xu Yinyin listened and then answered: "Grandma Zhang, I remember hearing you talk about it before, saying that you and Maodan Niang met on the way to escape?"

Mrs. Zhang was in a hurry, and she didn't think much about it, she just answered smoothly: "Yes! We met her before when we were waiting for porridge soup outside the gate of Xiangxian County. At that time, she took Maodan and built a thatched hut next to us. Seeing that she was an orphan and a widowed mother, I couldn't bear it, so I took care of her a little. When she went to line up to get porridge, I helped her watch the grass shed so that no one would occupy it. No, because of the familiarity of going back and forth, the hatchback After talking, I found out that we all escaped from Fengdu County, Huaining Prefecture, and we are fellow villagers!"

"Is that so?" Xu Yinyin looked like she was listening carefully to her elders' leisure, "Was Daddy already gone when you met?"

"No, I think it's pitiful for a woman to have a son. When she left Xiangxian County, she asked her mother-in-law to follow us. The princess also knew that our family is from the same village as Chief Zou. There are many families who have come out, so there is no problem in taking care of the two of them.

But before we had walked a long way, the couple got separated from us. I was quite worried at that time, fearing that something might happen to them, and I kept worrying about them. Later I arrived in Yiyang Mansion and settled down. When we were dividing the villages, we saw the two of them!Knowing that they are here alive, I am also happy for them! "

"Does Grandma Zhang know which village in Fengdu County they come from?"

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, "It seems to be over there in Zhoukou Town. I don't know which village it is. It's not in the same direction as our village, so I didn't ask in detail."

Once you settle down here, you will be reborn, and you won’t want to mention anything about the past.

Seeing that Xu Yinyin had almost finished asking, Mrs. Zhang didn't know much about it, so she dismissed the conversation and chatted about some family matters.

When old man Xu came out of Zou's house, she stood up and said goodbye.

After eating mustard dumplings at noon, Xu Yinyin got on the carriage, packed the wrapped mustard dumplings in the food box, and left the village back to the city.

It was only two-quarters of an hour after entering the city. After entering the city, Xu Yinyin ordered the carriage to go straight to the government office.

When the officer on duty at the gate of the government office saw Princess Jiacheng's carriage approaching, he immediately wanted to go in and report to Magistrate Ye. Xu Yinyin stopped him hastily and said that she was not looking for Magistrate Ye, but her great-aunt Fang Changxu.

After hearing this, the yamen officer stopped going in to make the announcement and let Xu Yinyin go with Forsythia swaggering into the yamen office.

Fang Changxu was surprised when he saw Xu Yinyin coming to see him at the government office. He thought something had happened. When he heard the purpose of his visit, he was stunned and hurriedly responded: "Yes, when the refugees settled in and registered, they all registered." to the original place of residence.”

Not long after, Xu Yinyin saw the booklet that registered the information of twenty households in Xiaohe Village, and then found Kuang Li and Li Zhaohe on it.

Dayang Village, Zhoukou Town.

Xu Yinyin closed the book, looked at Fang Changxu and said, "Can you please help me, my aunt, to ask everyone to help me find someone who has settled in Yiyang Prefecture? There is also Dayang, Zhoukou Town, Fengdu County, Huaining Prefecture, Yunzhou." of the villagers.”
