pastoral fragrance

Chapter 267
After hearing this sentence, Qiu Lin already knew it in his heart.I knew that the third uncle's temperament could not be twisted by Fang Shi, but I didn't expect Fang Shi to persuade him so quickly.Or maybe he himself was not firm in his position, and under Fang's inducement and persuasion, the scale in his heart was biased towards Fang's side.

Qiu Lin pretended that he didn't hear, and walked forward.Xiaoqing and Xiaohong behind her were still in shock, and then sighed uncontrollably.Originally thought that the Fourth Miss could save Qiuhuai from the fire and water by blocking it, but he didn't expect that it only took half a day, and even the date of marriage was fixed.While Xiaoqing and Xiaohong are sad, they can't help but feel sympathy for Qiuhuai.But what about sympathy, Miss Si is right, this is their family's housework, the boss has no room to intervene, let alone the two little girls?
Both of them sighed in unison, secretly glad that such a bad thing happened to them.Although the two of them sold themselves as slaves, the master never treated them badly.This marriage can also be decided by oneself, as long as you save enough money to redeem yourself, you can redeem yourself.In contrast, although they are servants of the master's family now, they live much more comfortably than Qiuhuai, and they are already much luckier than Qiuhuai.

When I arrived at Mei Xiang's house, I saw Mei Xiang's younger brother Xu Yang and his cousin Xu Mingzheng sitting in the courtyard, probably doing homework assigned by the master.At this moment Xu Ming heard movement at the gate of the courtyard, and when he looked up, it was Qiulin who had come.Behind her were two tall, thin girls who were resting a heavy basket outside the courtyard gate.

Xu Ming saw it, and grinned hurriedly. It must be Qiulin's sister who came to give them some delicious food again!Xu Mingtian loves to play, and has been studying in school for the past few years, and his temper has restrained a bit.But now that I saw delicious food, I couldn't care less about doing my homework. I put down the brush, and ran to the gate of the yard happily, seeing the round, green big ones in the baskets. Watermelon, can't help but smile. "Sister Qiulin, why are you here? This basket of watermelons weighs a lot. Next time, I might as well let me move it by myself, so I don't have to worry about Taoli!"

Seeing Xu Ming's gluttonous appearance, Qiulin dissipated the unhappiness he had just encountered on the way here.Qiulin said cheerfully: "You want to become a master after studying, I dare not order you to do the work. Xiaoqing Xiaohong, let's move this watermelon into the yard together."

Xu Ming originally didn't want to study at all, he just wanted to be naughty and go to the woods to catch rabbits and pheasants all day long.But everyone in the family has said that if a boy does not study, he is treated as a pig.He didn't want to be a pig, so he had no choice but to go to school with his mouth full and aggrieved.He also spent three days fishing and two days drying the net while studying, and he only learned a few words in school, so he wouldn't be blind.

Xu Ming knew that Qiulin's words were embarrassing him, so he couldn't help pursing his lips, and said in a muffled voice: "The master Juren you said is doing his homework there, as for me, I don't have a day, so I just study for a few years and write books. Fenfen is a farmer. In fact, it’s not bad to grow crops now. Sister Qiulin, don’t you see that every family in our village is living a prosperous life? Don’t break it for you. I’ll move the watermelon first. Go into the house and do your homework, or you will be punished by the teacher tomorrow."

After hearing this, Qiulin couldn't help laughing.She glanced sideways at Xu Yang who was still sitting neatly on the other side, and couldn't help but marvel, this person has good concentration, maybe he is really expected to be an official in the future.But looking at this foolish Xu Ming, I feel that what he said is the same thing. If he behaves like this, he probably won't be able to be an official. "Well, you've been fishing for three days and two days posting nets, so you don't have the chance to be the number one scholar. But there is a saying that you can be the number one scholar if you work hard, and you don't just have to study as a way out."

After Xu Ming heard this, it was like meeting a bosom friend.That's right, he thought the same way. If this kind of field is well cultivated, isn't it still a thousand hectares of fertile land?Xu Minghan smiled and nodded vigorously, "That's right, that's right!"

"What are you talking about, you chattering, you, I heard your voice yelling in your ears, you don't do your homework, your cousin is still doing it. Still here, if dinner is ready, you still do it Didn't finish your homework, watch me eat your food?" Mei Xiang stood on the threshold of the kitchen with her hands on her hips holding a spatula, scolding Xu Ming all over her face!This kid is very interested in reading and playing, and is particularly easily distracted.It's a good day today, I didn't do my homework, and instead I set up a dragon battle with others.Mei Xiang was speechless to him.

After all, Xu Ming was a little afraid of Mei Xiang, seeing her getting angry now, he didn't have the energy to jump around like before.She pursed her mouth and said in a low voice, "I, I'm going to do my homework now!" After speaking, she gave Qiulin a disappointed look, and she moved over to do her homework.

After Mei Xiang trained Xu Ming, she smiled at Qiu Lin: "You are here, let's have dinner at our house today. I also made steamed dumplings and braised fish nuggets. Try it." Mei Xiang was so affectionate But it's very different from the vicious look when he was training Xu Ming just now.

But Qiulin didn't think it was a problem, she was used to it.She smiled and said, "No need, just pack steamed dumplings and take me back. About my family's food has already been prepared, so I won't eat here." Everyone is familiar with each other, and Qiulin didn't What are you being polite to her?

Mei Xiang could only nod her head when she heard the words.I went back to the stove and found a basket for vegetables. After washing it, I put the steamed dumplings in it.In the morning, Qiulin said that he would bring watermelon, so he made more dumplings, and now he just took Qiulin home to eat.After packing the dumplings and covering them with a piece of blue cloth, I came over and gave the bamboo basket to Qiulin.When she smiled, two canine teeth jumped out first, which was extremely pleasing. "These dumplings have mushroom stuffing, water chestnut, potatoes and minced meat. If you go home and use fried chili noodles, add soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic as ingredients, the taste should not be bad."

Qiulin took it over happily, touched the basket, and it was still a little hot, it seemed that it was done just now. "I know you're ready for tea and rice, so I won't delay your cooking, so I'll leave first." After chatting with Mei Xiang, when Uncle Gen and the others come back, I'm afraid the meal hasn't been cooked yet.Besides, she also wanted to take the food home while it was still hot for everyone to eat.

Qiulin carried the heavy basket, and a faint aroma of white flour dumplings entered his nostrils.Qiulin couldn't wait to tear them apart, but he held back.The master and servant wandered through the fish pond and went up to the ridge of the field. From a long distance away, they heard the joyful voice from their own house.

The voices of men and women talking and laughing were mixed together. Qiulin couldn't tell who was talking and who was laughing, but felt that there was a commotion over there.Qiulin couldn't help shivering, when did the house get so lively?Qiulin glanced suspiciously at Xiaoqing and Xiaohong, both of them were stunned.The three masters and servants not only quickened their pace, but rushed to their own yard.

As soon as he walked to the gate of the yard, Qiulin saw his second brother Qiusong, whom he hadn't seen for half a year, standing in the yard like an orchid orchid and a jade tree. Everyone was talking and laughing around him, looking very lively.When Qiulin saw his second brother Qiusong, he ran over in alarm. "Second brother!" Qiulin's voice was a little choked up, his agitated mood could not be calmed down, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

When Qiu Song heard this, he turned his head to look.Looking at the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in front of her, who was slim and more iconic, her face was full of joyful smiles. "Little sister." Qiu Song studied in the state school for three years, and Xian Shao returned home.After three years, I just stayed at home for a few days to rest for a while, and then left for Beijing to catch up with the exam.The helplessness and desolation of running around made him miss his family all the time.Now returning home, seeing this familiar person and familiar scenery, Qiusong's agitated mood is hard to describe.

Han smiled and wiped his tears from the side, "Don't just talk in the yard, sit in the main room. Asong just came back, and he must have been exhausted all the way, Qiuyue, go and pour a bowl of chrysanthemum tea for your younger brother. "Seeing that her son who had been away for many days finally returned home, Han's heart that was hanging at that moment finally fell to the ground.

Xu Nanshan, who was sitting on the side and silent, also had red eyes at the moment, looking at the tall, scholarly second son, his heart was full of joy.

Qiuyue brought chrysanthemum tea to Qiusong, and Qiulin hurriedly cut the watermelon into pieces and brought it to the second brother to eat. "Second brother, eat some watermelon quickly, it will clear away the heat."

Looking at the relatives who were serving tea and water all over the room and caring about him, even though Qiu Song was already very tired and just wanted to rest, how could he say no at this moment, naturally he obediently drank the chrysanthemum tea and Pick up a piece of watermelon and bite.Looking at the little girl's familiar bright eyes, Qiu Song felt that even though these years have been more separated than together, the love between relatives cannot be broken because of separation.He took two bites with a smile, and said to his little sister, "It's so sweet."

After being praised, Qiulin was so happy that he couldn't find Bei at once, and smiled his beautiful eyes into crescent shapes. "Second brother, eat more. These are all from my own home. There are still many on the slope. I will pick some more tomorrow and eat them for you."

Qiu Song couldn't help laughing out loud, the younger sister is such a virtue, if there is something good to eat, she will go to others to offer the treasure.But he didn't reject Qiulin's behavior at all, on the contrary he liked it very much. "Okay." Qiu Song pursed his lips and laughed at the little girl.

After entering the main room, everyone greeted Qiu Song again.Qiu Song replied one by one with a good temper. Only now did everyone know that Qiu Song went to Beijing this time to rush for the entrance examination of high school, and this time he returned to his hometown for at most twenty days. As soon as he took office, he was the newly appointed county magistrate of Shitou County next door, and he was an official of the eighth rank.

Knowing that Qiu Song became an official, Mrs. Han burst into tears, and Xu Nanshan couldn't help crying. "Qiu Song is so good, the child's mother, we have something to do." The silent father Xu was excited and uncontrollable at the moment, with a huge smile on his face, and the snot and tears seemed to be rushing for nothing Lose.
