Chapter 56

Old General Xie ate the food brought by Xu Xiaofu, and was stunned for a while, until the old lady Xie teased him, "What's wrong? After eating the food from grandson's daughter-in-law, do you just want to stay at home and not run around? Your granddaughter-in-law is good at cooking, right? I like to eat some vegetarian dishes on weekdays, and she has prepared them and sent someone to bring them to me. The taste is really good, much better than the vegetarian dishes prepared for me in the kitchen on weekdays."

Old General Xie came to his senses when he heard the old lady's words, and without speaking, he silently picked up a shredded lamb chop and ate it. After finishing one lamb chop, he sighed, looked at the old lady, and said, "Suying! , After eating this granddaughter-in-law's food, I remembered what happened when we were young. You followed me through all the hardships. Do you still remember that once, we met a lonely one in that barren place? Hungry wolf, at that time, both of us hadn’t eaten for two or three days, so we finally killed the hungry wolf, and then we lit a fire to barbecue the meat. , Miss you endlessly."

The old lady Xie's eyes were full of nostalgia, "Of course I remember, it's been so many years, and you always said afterwards that you have never eaten such a delicious taste again."

Old General Xie nodded, "No, hey, it's his good fortune that our grandson married this granddaughter-in-law."

"It's a pity that your daughter-in-law doesn't think so. She always feels that Xie's family has insulted the Xie family's face by marrying Xiaofu. It has been almost two years since Xiaofu got married. She always makes trouble for Xiaofu, and I don't It's good to talk about her clearly, but it's good that Duan Yu is protecting Xiao Fu."

Old General Xie slapped the table and stared, "Nonsense! If she is doing this, I will leave the house to the second daughter-in-law!"

The old lady Xie hurriedly comforted the old general, "Okay, don't be angry, she just can't think about it, but now that you are back, she doesn't dare to trouble Xiaofu anymore."

Old General Xie snorted and remained silent.

Bai's indeed restrained a lot because of old General Xie's relationship, at least he didn't dare to let Xu Xiaofu carry Xie Qi to her courtyard to pay his respects in this cold weather.In fact, even Xu Xiaofu couldn't figure out what was going on with Bai Shi, did he really like Xie Qi, his grandson?But if you really like her, how can you have the heart to let the child walk for half an hour in the snowy weather to pay her respects in her courtyard in this cold weather.If she didn't like it, then she looked at Xie Qi with kindness.

But now that Mr. Xie came back, Xu Xiaofu finally didn't have to carry Xie Qi in the heavy snow to greet Mrs. Bai, and just nestled in his own small yard every day.Xie Duanyu was getting more and more busy. It was normal not to come here for a few days. Even if he came back, he would never be seen when he woke up in the morning.

Even on New Year's Eve, Xie Duanyu didn't come back, and Xie's family had a New Year's Eve dinner together.On the second day of the new year, Xu Xiaofu hugged Xie Qi and took He Hua back to her natal home, where she stayed for a few days.He returned to Xie's house when the wind and snow stopped.

As soon as he came back, Old General Xie and the old lady ran to her yard to see Xie Qi.

Winter is over, and Xie Duanyu is finally not so busy. It seems that the border problem should be solved. Now that it is solved, he should not have to go to the border. When spring comes, Xie Duanyu will come back more days.

The branches in Xu Xiaofu's yard also sprouted tender green buds, the lotus likes to squat in the yard to look at the tender green shoots after practicing calligraphy all day long.Xu Xiaofu hugged Xie Qi and stayed in the yard with the lotus, Xie Qi was just like his sister staring at the buds on the tree, Yiyi screamed, her fingers were still opening and closing, trying to grab something .

Another month passed, and Xie Duanyu was able to go home every day.Xu Xiaofu knew that the frontier affairs should be considered to be completely over, so he was completely relieved.

The little lotus girl is still squatting in the yard after practicing calligraphy every day to see more and more buds on the branches. Xu Xiaofu feels sore when she sees it. Nothing to do, can only squat in the yard in a daze.

Looking at the lotus squatting beside the stone table, Xu Xiaofu handed Xie Qi to the nanny to hold, came to the side of the lotus, and said with a smile: "Does the lotus feel that this is boring every day?"

The six-year-old child already knows a lot, He Hua smiled and shook her head, "Mother, I won't..."

How could Xu Xiaofu fail to see He Hua's sensibility, and said with a smile: "He Hua, mother will cook some delicious food in a few days, and then take my younger brother to play outside the city, okay?"

He Hua's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xu Xiaofu, "Mother, is it true? Can you go out to play? The general's father, little aunt Qingxue, Aunt Meng, brother Xiaorui, will they all go?"

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Mother, can I ask them if they are okay? If they go too, we will go together, if they don't, then mother and brother will go with Hehua, okay?"

Lotus nodded vigorously, "Okay."

Now it's mid-March, it's a good day for outing, Xu Xiaofu asked Xie Qingxue and Meng Shi, they were very interested and said they would go.Xu Xiaofu went to ask old lady Xie and old general Xie again, old general Xie would not go, old lady Xie also smiled and said: "I won't bother, you can go to Qingxue and go with your siblings. "

Finally, the people who went to play were confirmed, Xu Xiaofu, Xie Qi, He Hua, Camellia, Du Juan, Nanny Wei, Xie Qingxue, Meng Shi, Xie Rui, and Nanny Luo.

After Xie Duanyu came back at night, Xu Xiaofu told him that he wanted to go out to play, Xie Duanyu said: "The weather is nice, you should go out more, I have to go to the military camp during the day, so I won't accompany you It's up to you."

Now that everything was confirmed, Xu Xiaofu was busy in the kitchen the next day, preparing food for the outing.In addition to all kinds of pastries, she also made all kinds of sushi. When she came back, she happened to meet a farm cow that accidentally fell from the mountain to death in the market. Xu Xiaofu asked the food buyer to buy all the cow.I went back and cooked the five-spice beef, cut it into thin slices, and placed them neatly in the food box.In the end, I felt that it would be more fun to barbecue by myself in the suburbs.

Prepare all the materials, ingredients, and condiments needed for barbecue, and you can go directly the next day.

In the evening, Xu Xiaofu also distributed the cooked sauced beef to each courtyard for them to try it out. The rest of the beef was put in the ice cellar, and he would cook other meals when he had time.

The next day, Xu Xiaofu got up as soon as his belly turned pale, and after a casual breakfast, he was ready to go.

There were three carriages in total, two of which were filled with people, the remaining one carried food, and finally brought a few guards with them, and they all walked out of the city together.

Outside the city, there are continuous mountains, vast grasslands, winding streams, and the weather is good. When everyone arrived at the location, they found that it was not only their family who came out to play, but also several other carriages.It was only the end of the hour at the moment, and not long after, several carriages came one after another.

It's still early, Xu Xiaofu has assigned all the work to everyone, thinking about Xie Qingxue, the Meng family is a lady of everyone, so they definitely don't know all kinds of wild vegetables.So he asked Camellia Rhododendron to carry a small basket to the foot of the mountain to pick all kinds of wild vegetables, and Nanny Wei hugged the child well, even so, Xu Xiaofu never let Nanny Wei out of her sight.There are quite a lot of cooked food on the carriage, and the rest are barbecue equipment and ingredients.

The barbecue equipment is actually an iron net. Xu Xiaofu found some bricks nearby and built a simple stove. He threw some silver charcoal into it and set it on fire. Above, a simple BBQ stand did the trick.

Then I moved out the foldable small table on the carriage, put the various ingredients and condiments on the table, and began to brush the ingredients with various condiments...

Xie Qingxue, Mrs. Meng looked at it strangely, Mrs. Meng handed Xie Rui over to Nanny Luo to take care of her, and came to Xu Xiaofu's side with Xie Qingxue, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? It's really strange to see." They were still the first Once I knew that there are so many tricks to go out to play, they also go out to play with friends on weekdays, they always bring some pastries, eat some pastries when they are hungry, and recite poems after eating pastries, enjoy the scenery, to be honest It's quite boring, I've never been so tossed about like Xu Xiaofu.

Xu Xiaofu handed the various meat skewers, fish skewers, and seafood skewers in his hands to the two, and said with a smile: "Come on, help, you will know later, I guarantee you will have a good time today."

Xie Qingxue very excitedly took the fish skewers that Xu Xiaofu handed over, followed her example and brushed salt and various condiments on the skewers.Mrs. Meng hesitated for a while, but also took it, and imitated the way of the two of them and got busy.

While brushing, Xie Qingxue pointed to the various vegetables on the table, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are these for? Can you cook vegetables later?"

Xu Xiaofu said with a smile: "We will roast them and eat them later."

Meng said with a smile: "This is the first time I've heard that green vegetables can be eaten roasted."

They are busy here, while the ladies and women in the distance are standing in the distance and watching, some are envious, and some are mocking.Not long after, another carriage came, and three beautiful girls came down from it. The girls were talking and laughing, but they soon noticed Xu Xiaofu and the others.

One of the women with a gentle face said curiously: "Look over there, what are they doing? It's really fun, hey, isn't that Qingxue? It's been a long time since I saw her, but I don't want to meet her today gone."

The other two also looked over, and one of the gorgeous girls said: "No, it's been a long time since I saw Qingxue. That should be General Xie's wife, right? What are they doing?"

The remaining girl in a pink dress snorted, looked at Xu Xiaofu disdainfully, and said, "Sure enough, she is a vulgar country woman who brought these things when she went out to play? Is she planning to get something to eat here? Really?" That's embarrassing enough!"

These three people are not others, one is Li Weiwei, the daughter of Lord Li, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also the daughter of the lady who invited Xu Xiaofu last time.That gorgeous woman is Xie Qingxue's good friend, Lu Shan.The other one was Liu Qing'er who had been against Xu Xiaofu, and later had a marriage contract with Xie Duanyue, who had been in constant misfortune.
