Chapter 75
Mei Shi sniffed the aroma and found that the medicinal smell in the soup was very weak, took a sip, and praised: "The taste is better than usual, and Xiaoyue's craftsmanship has improved again."

"This is not Xiaoyue's handicraft. The lady got up early in the morning to boil it. I just helped to add fire."

Xiaoyue smiled innocently, saw that the sun had risen, and said again: "Master, Madam, I'm going to wash clothes by the river first."

Seeing Xiaoyue running out in a hurry, Mei called out, "Have you had breakfast?"

Xiaoyue replied without looking back: "I have eaten with Miss, Madam, don't worry."

"This child, like Xi'er, is always in a hurry." Mei said, but Hua Dashan's eyes were fixed on Tang in front of her.

"Sister-in-law also wants to drink soup?" Mrs. Mei asked with a smile.

Hua Dashan snorted softly, lowered his head and drank the millet porridge, with a bit of jealousy in his tone.

"Why do I feel that Xi'er is only good to you as a mother? She also gave the bracelet and made the soup by herself."

Speaking of the bracelet, I bought it during Huaqian's Qixi Festival.The silver hairpin was given to Xing'er, the pearl flower was given to Xiaoyue, and the bracelet was naturally for Mei's.

"Pfft..." Mrs. Mei couldn't help laughing, Hua Dashan blushed instantly.

On the way to the village chief's house, I met a lot of villagers, and they all came up to ask, and they seemed to be concerned about Yue Xia, but they were all gloating inside and out.

Of course, there are also a few people who really care about Yue Xia.

For such people, Hua Qian would always talk to them with a sincere smile, and she didn't bother to deal with those who gloated, she just pretended not to hear them.

When we arrived at the village chief's house, we met Mrs. Lan first.

"Hey, Hua Qian is here, and she still has something." Lan said, she reached out to get the food box, but Hua Qian avoided it.

"Hello, Second Aunt, we are here to see Grandpa Six." Hua Qian stepped aside calmly, and looked at Lan Shi with a smile.

Lan, who didn't get anything, withdrew his hand angrily, and his tone of speech was not so polite.

"I heard that Mancai was expelled from the academy, and it was all caused by your family Yue Xia?"

Hua Qian's smiling face froze, and she was about to push back, but Hua Mancai came out from the main room, and said in a rather bad tone: "Second Aunt, don't talk until you brush your teeth today."

As an elder, when Lan Shi heard Hua Mancai say this about her, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice: "After studying for several years, you still talk to elders like this, no wonder you were kicked out of the academy!"

This Lan family really knows how to sprinkle salt on the wound.

"Second brother, have you washed your clothes?" Chen's voice came first before the Chen family arrived.

Hearing Chen's voice, Lan turned around angrily and left, but before leaving, she even spat at Hua Qian and Yue Xia, which can be described as extremely disgusting.

Hua Mancai stepped forward with an apologetic face and said, "Qian'er, Yue Xia, my second aunt has such a temper, don't take offense."

Who doesn't have a top-notch relative? Compared with the Guo family, the Lan family is really gentle, and Hua Qian doesn't take it seriously.

After entering the main room, Hua Qian put one of the food boxes on the table, chatted with the village head for a while, then said that she still wanted to visit Shitou and Aunt Seven, and left.

Hua Mancai was restrained by the village head, and wanted to go with Hua Qian and the others, but dared not.

Seeing his expression of wanting to go, the village chief sighed and said, "Go if you're not afraid of being told."

"Thank you grandpa."

Only after Hua Man thanked him did he chase after him in a hurry.

Xing'er, who was sitting next to Mrs. Chen, also wanted to go, but she didn't dare to speak. The village chief didn't understand. He tapped the cigarette stick lightly and said:

"Xing'er, you go too, don't let your brother get into trouble."

When Xing'er heard this, she was naturally happy, "Understood, Grandpa."

When Hua Qian and the others arrived in front of Shitou's house, they found the yard was quiet and thought no one was at home.

"Brother Shitou, are you home?" Hua Qian called out tentatively, and she really called people out.

I saw Shi Shi came out of the kitchen with a disheveled face, and said with an embarrassed smile: "You guys are here, hurry up and sit in the room."

Hua Qian stepped forward to look at Shishi, seeing that his face was still covered with pot ashes, she couldn't help laughing, "Haha...Brother Shitou, are you cooking?"

Shitou scratched his hair and said with a lonely expression, "Yeah, but unfortunately I can do anything but light a fire, and my cooking skills are really terrible."

Xing'er, who had already got into the kitchen, bluffed and said, "Oh, Shishi, your porridge is all overcooked."

Hearing Xing'er's words, Shi Shi was even more embarrassed, and said with a dry smile, "You guys hurry up and sit in the main room, I'll be fine here for a while."

"Brother Shitou, you and Ayue and Brother Mancai go to the main room to talk. Sister Xing'er and I are enough in the kitchen."

As soon as Hua Qian finished speaking, Hua Mancai next to her immediately pulled the stone away.

Yue Xia glanced at Hua Qian, then carried the food box and followed into the main room.

After entering the kitchen, Hua Qian realized why Xing'er was so surprised, it was because the pot of porridge cooked in stone was not as simple as being mushy.

"I really admire Brother Shitou. Half of this porridge is mushy, and the other half is still raw. This cooking method is really amazing."

As Xing'er said, she and Hua Qian poured the porridge from the pot into the swill bucket.

in the main room

Shi Shi looked at the food box brought by Yue Xia, and said with some displeasure: "Yue Xia, you come as soon as you come, why are you still bringing something?"

"Xi'er brought it, she made it herself, if you have any comments, go to her." After Yue Xia finished speaking, Shi Shi lost his temper completely.

If you talk to Hua Qian about this matter, she must have a lot of reasons to convince you, so Shi Shi immediately changed the subject.

"Have you been lectured by your family last night?" Thinking of his mother's sad and disappointed expression last night, Shitou felt a dull pain in his heart.

"I was told a few words by my grandfather, and then I was driven back to my room to think about it. I even used dinner in the room."

Hua Man said with a smile, but seeing Shi Shi's dull face, he immediately restrained his smile.

"Aunt Seven scolded you?" Hua Mancai asked cautiously.

At this time, Yue Xia opened the food box, took out the pastries inside, and said: "Let's try Qian'er's craftsmanship, and don't talk about those unhappy things."

"Yes yes yes, try Qian'er's handicraft, hehe..." Hua Mancai smiled, but seeing that Shitou was still silent, his heart also felt depressed.

"What kind of expression do you guys have? We might all be able to pass the exam." With one sentence from Yue Xia, both of them regained their sanity.

Afterwards, the three of them talked about the exam questions that day while eating the pastries made by Hua Qian.

The sun has risen, shining warmly on the earth, reflecting the peaceful and peaceful scene of Qingshui Village.

It's just that, in this piece of tranquility, there are inevitably some troublesome people.

Shitou Niang—Ms. Liu was walking home with the washed clothes. When she passed the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, she heard several spitting women pointing and cursing.
