Border Cook

Chapter 112 Shameful
"It's okay. Fortunately, Brother Lu is here." Xia Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "This person wanted to join Xia's food stall before, but I didn't agree because I thought he had bad behavior. I never thought that he would have such resentment in his heart."

"Today is also thanks to Brother Lu."

Otherwise, it would be really hard to deal with.

Xia Mingyue thanked him repeatedly. Lu Qiyan paused and said, "I guess the army will be mostly busy recruiting new soldiers, training and other matters in the next few months. If it's not busy, I'll see if I can come back more often."

Most people in the world choose food based on the situation and pick the weakest persimmon to squeeze.

If you have someone backing you up, others won't dare to act rashly.

It has been less than half a year since Chunri and Xia Mingyue "got married", and he has only returned twice during this period, but during these two trips, he met many evil people.

Xia Mingyue's daily business is not easy.

"Okay." Xia Mingyue tilted her head slightly.

Lu Qiyan...

Seems like he's quite protective of her?

After looking around almost everywhere and with the recent commotion, Xia Mingyue lost interest and went home with Lu Qiyan.

When they reached Xinghua Hutong, Lu Qiyan stopped and said, "I have something to go out for tonight. You don't have to wait for me for dinner. You can eat first."

While chatting along the way, Lu Qiyan learned that Xia Mingyue had hired someone to do the work at home and that Jiang Zhuguo was living at home for a long time.

"Okay." Xia Mingyue agreed.

After Lu Qiyan walked away, Xia Mingyue poked her head out of the alley and saw him turning back and heading east.

They just came back from the east...

Xia Mingyue pursed her lips and walked home.

It was already evening, Jiang Zhuguo and the others were almost done with their work and began to prepare dinner.

Without Lu Qiyan at home, Xia Mingyue and Jiang Zhuguo simply made a pancake with shredded potatoes and carrots, a salad of cucumber, bean curd and peanuts, and cooked millet and pumpkin porridge.

The pumpkin is a newly harvested long pumpkin, which has a sweet taste. After peeling it, it is fully stewed and mixed with millet, and has a soft and sweet taste.

After a very satisfying dinner, we cleaned up and went back to our rooms to sleep.

Because Lu Qiyan had not come back yet, Xia Mingyue was worried about this matter and couldn't sleep, so she simply lit a candle and took out the sewing basket.

Jiang Zhuguo is good at sewing, and Mrs. Lu is much better than her. Moreover, they are still well off now, so most of the clothes Xia Mingyue wears on a daily basis are made directly by garment shops, and most of the sewing and mending that needs to be done are done by Jiang Zhuguo and Mrs. Lu.

However, Xia Mingyue really didn't want to ask anyone else to do the underwear she wore, so she did it herself.

I am usually busy, but I take time out to give you two injections.

If you light a few more candles at this time, the shadows won't be so heavy. It's not that the outer clothes don't have to be so particular, but it won't be very tiring to the eyes.

It was not until Xia Mingyue finished sewing the undergarment in her hand that there was movement at the door.

After Xia Mingyue had packed up the needle and thread basket, Lu Qiyan had already entered the house.

Smelling of alcohol.

But he was very awake. When he saw Xia Mingyue hadn't rested yet, he subconsciously took a step back and asked, "You haven't slept yet?"

"It's time to go to bed." Xia Mingyue said, "There's tea in the pot."

People who drink alcohol tend to feel thirsty.

"Yeah." Lu Qiyan nodded.

"There is hot water in the stove, and there are some clean clothes for you to change on the kang. You can change out of the clothes you are wearing, and I will help you wash them tomorrow."

"it is good."

"I'm going to sleep first."

Xia Mingyue lay down, turned over, and faced outwards.

Lu Qiyan was busy.

Xia Mingyue listened to the sound of scooping water outside, yawned and closed her eyes. At this time, Wu Xiong was drunk and was supported by his younger brother, stumbling towards the Sifang gambling house.

As he walked, he shouted, "I had a damn good time drinking today!"

"Of course." The younger brother nodded repeatedly, "This Lu Dutou looks gentle and handsome, but I never thought he is a man of blood and strength. Not only is he good at kung fu, but he can drink even better!"

"I, Wu Xiong, have made up my mind to be Lu Dutou's brother!" Wu Xiong patted his chest loudly, and then burped, "But it's really embarrassing for me to be Lu Dutou's brother..."

"Shame on you!"

As for Madam Xia, he had already made it known that she, Wu Xiong, was the one protecting her. Anyone who dared to cause trouble for Madam Xia would be making things difficult for him, Wu Xiong!

To this end, he even invited the patrolling constables in the county town to sit down and have a drink together, asking them to make sure that Xia Niangzi's food stall was peaceful and that no one would cause trouble.

But now, now!
Someone openly went to cause trouble for Madam Xia, and did it in front of Captain Lu!
This even meant that Lu Dutou had to think about dealing with him so that he could protect Madam Xia during the time when Lu Dutou was not at home.

What does this show?

This means that Wu Xiong has lost face and lacks in deterrence, so those dirty bugs and dead rats started to make trouble, tearing off Wu Xiong's face, throwing it on the ground, and stepping on it a few times.

He is sad!

The younger brother naturally understood what his elder brother was upset about at the moment, and said, "Don't worry, elder brother. I know where that grandson lives. I will bring a few people tomorrow and find a random excuse to beat him up."

This guy is not a good person either. He has offended many people before, so it is easy for him to find an excuse.

And if one meal is not enough...

Two beatings!
"Yeah!" Wu Xiong patted his younger brother's shoulder heavily, feeling relieved.

But I still felt that I hadn't vented my anger enough.

I need to find a place to vent my anger.

But his mother always taught him not to bully innocent people, so he must be obedient. Even if he wants to vent his anger, he can only find bad guys to vent it on.

When thieves rob each other, no one complains.

Maybe they will even talk about it with relish.

But where can I find a bad guy to vent my anger on...

Wu Xiong thought for a long time and suddenly slapped his head.

Got it!

How could I forget this?
If we don't teach such a bad person a lesson, how can we succeed...

Xia Mingyue woke up as usual the next day. When she looked up, there was no one on Lu Qiyan's kang.

After tidying up, Xia Mingyue got up and went to the yard, but she did not see Lu Qiyan.

"Sister Xia, are you looking for your brother-in-law?" Jiang Zhuguo said as she added fuel to the stove. "My brother-in-law said that the water in the water tank was almost empty, so he went to fetch water with a shoulder pole and a bucket."

such.

Xia Mingyue fetched some water to wash up, and looked at the clothes drying in the yard.

It was the same outfit that Lu Qiyan wore yesterday, and it was already half dry.

"Did you wash this?" Xia Mingyue asked.

"No." Jiang Zhuguo said, "It was already there when I got up. I saw it was almost dried, so I thought it was what you washed last night, Sister Xia."

But now it seems, not.

Did Lu Qiyan wash it himself?

Xia Mingyue raised her eyebrows.

It is said that one has to do all the daily affairs in the military camp by oneself, and it seems to be true.

Thinking that Lu Qiyan didn't seem to have eaten enough for lunch yesterday, Xia Mingyue prepared a large amount of food for the morning.
