Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 61 Visit
Because many people are busy.After Li Kongzhu and Zhao Junyi had a talk that day, their life was still the same as before.

He followed Zhao Mengzi and was still a labor of picking fruits up the mountain, and occasionally helped stir the jam when he came back.

On the contrary, Cui Jiu is now awake all day during the day, and he can walk down the supporting wall on the ground and walk around the room twice by himself.

Although Li Kongzhu didn't have any money to buy ginseng slices for him to eat, but she bought some ginseng with Baiwen again.

Now he is adding it to his medicine every day. Although he can't see much curative effect, it should be effective.

Now Zhao Junyi stopped holding Cui Jiu's wrists, and his face was also mended by Li Diaozhu's daily egg bone soup, making him look less pale.

There was a sound in the sky, after finishing a pot of hawthorn, Li Diaozhu took some noodles and came out to wake up.I'm going to make dough buns in Xiangwu, scramble an egg, and mix it with bone broth.

Zhao Junyi, Cui Jiu and Zhao Mengzi in the main room sat around an old kang table sent by Mrs. Lin.Eating the leftover snacks from the hawthorn, drinking the stomach-warming hot tea, in the silent room, no one spoke a word first.

The weird atmosphere made Zhao Mengzi lower his head, and drank a few mouthfuls of water from the bowl without daring to breathe.

When he spoke again, he blocked his throat without even daring to clear his voice, "It seems that there is still some work at home, let's go back to work, that third brother Zhao, I'll go home for a while!"

"Yeah!" The man hummed lightly.

Zhao Mengzi, however, has excellent hearing, quickly got off the kang, put on his shoes, lifted the curtain and strode out.

Looking at the swaying door curtain, Cui Jiu curled up her beautiful lips and said with a light smile, "Brother Zhao and Mrs. Sister-in-law seem to be very close to this couple!"

I was saved and placed here in these days.Although she is asleep most of the time, there are also many times when she is awake.Except for the couple's family members who often come here, I haven't seen any of their friends from the same village come to visit them.

The man remained calm, "Cousin, get close naturally!"

"So it's my cousin! I just don't know the neighbor...?" Speaking of this, he chuckled, "Brother Zhao, don't blame me, when Cui fell asleep that day, he seemed to be listening to something by accident..."

"Brother and sister-in-law!" the man cut off his words very calmly and looked at him.

After hearing this, Cui Jiu raised his long and narrow eyes on purpose for a moment, and said in puzzlement: "It's strange, since the person in the next courtyard is Brother Zhao's brother and sister-in-law, why are you not as close as that cousin?"

"People with bad intentions, it's better to stay away!"

The man took a sip of tea and looked at the person who knew the reason, his tone was neither salty nor bland.

Cui Jiu smiled, twisting the sticks of hawthorn that were stained with icing sugar in his hand, "Brother Zhao is a rare and righteous person."

Regarding Zhao Junyi's pounding on the wall that night, at that time, I was still half-clear and not completely lethargic.That sound, although it sounds very much like the sound of a foreign object hitting the wall.But people who are both practicing martial arts, how can they not know the difference?
Coupled with the insults from the people in the next courtyard, he knew that Zhao Junyi did not belong to the Zhao family.In other words, he is very likely to be a foreigner, and perhaps he is not like the country man he said at all.Then this can also explain why he knows martial arts.

Just in this way, what is his real identity?
"Young Master Cui is also a rare person who likes to explore people's privacy!"

Cui Jiu was not annoyed, and just laughed, "Brother Zhao has the kindness to save my life, so he naturally wants to get closer."

"Oh, it's rare!" Zhao Junyi looked at him, with pale pink lips, his cold face was lined with a terrifying half-disfigured face. Terrified.

"Then let Zhao see if he misjudged anyone!"

Cui Jiu was stunned, thinking about what he meant by these words?Did he let him detect it, or was he underestimated and unable to detect him?

Frowning lightly, Cui Jiu looked at him and smiled gracefully back, "Since that's the case, it's Cui who is being disrespectful!"

Li Kongzhu and Mai Ya'er outside don't know about the main house, they are holding the dough and kneading the steamed buns.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a donkey snorting outside the courtyard.

Then there was a man's voice calling the door.

When Li Kongzhu washed his hands and walked out from the kitchen, he happened to bump into Hui Niang who was looking in.

Seeing this, she hurriedly walked over with a smile on her face, and opened the door, "I never thought about it, you are really here. Please come in quickly!"

"Not welcome?" She deliberately raised her eyebrows and asked.

Li Kongzhu quickly shook his head, looked at the man standing one step behind her hesitantly and said: "This is..."

"This is my aunt's son He Mu. I rented his donkey cart and let him deliver it to me!"

"Hello sister-in-law!" The young man named He Mu called her warmly with a mouthful of white teeth.

Li Kongzhu nodded, glanced at his donkey cart with a shed, then glanced at the too 'small' door opening of his own house.

Why not ask him: "This door really can't fit such a big car, so why not just park it outside?"

Hui Niang had already stepped into the courtyard first, and gave an overview of where she lived.

Seeing that the house is dilapidated, not to mention the narrow yard, even the door is not right to the front.This is clearly separated by the side house built by the peasant family.

Thinking about what he had inquired about in the past few days when he returned home, he couldn't help but sighed.This is probably fate!
He Mu over there held the donkey's rope, and couldn't find a place to tie it. In the end, Li Diaozhu simply let him tie him to the fence blocking the gate, which solved the problem.

It's just that in this way, the whole donkey cart will block the gate tightly. If anyone comes to rush through the door, they may not even be able to enter the door.

He Mu scratched his head in embarrassment, but Li Kongzhu didn't care.Now, apart from Mai Ya'er and his wife, no one is really willing to come to her.

After Hui Niang over there looked around, she turned her head and saw that the car was tied up here.He told He Mudao: "Help me take the gift box off the car!"

"Hey!"

He Mu got into the car.Li Kongzhu's eyes flashed, and he laughed and teased her: "Come on, why is it so expensive? But it's just right, I took a bargain!"

"We haven't seen each other in half a year, and my mouth is quite poor!" Hui Niang returned with a smile.

Over there, He Mu got out of the car, carrying three paper-wrapped boxes in his hands, stacked in a string of medium-sized gift boxes.

When Li Kongzhu greeted them to enter the house, he winked at Mai Ya'er who came out to watch.

Now she has gone to the main house and told Zhao Junyi about the visitor at home.

At that time, after Zhao Junyi and Cui Jiu finished talking, they fell silent.

The two drank tea calmly, seemingly quiet on the outside, but in fact they were very energetic inside, neither of them was willing to break the silent silence first!

The arrival of Mai Ya'er made Zhao Junyi get up unexpectedly, got off the bed in silence, took off his shoes and walked out.

Cui Jiu in the room raised his black, bright and handsome eyebrows, and a smug look flashed in his eyes.

When Zhao Junyi came out, he happened to meet Li Kongzhu and the others who were approaching.

Li Kongzhu smiled and introduced to a handsome woman beside him, "Sister Hui, this is the one I married!"

"Head of the family, sister Hui Niang is my old fellow from the mansion, and now she is out of the mansion, and today she specially came to see me as an old friend!"

Zhao Junyi nodded to the woman calmly, and said lightly, "Come in!"

When Hui Niang was listening to Li Kongzhu's introduction, she also noticed him.Seeing that his face was extremely cold, she didn't dare to stare at him for too long, she just looked away hastily, and gave him a decent salute.

Hearing him enter the room, he smiled and said, "Excuse me!"

Li Kongzhu greeted him and entered the room, and saw Cui Jiushen sitting on the kang.He briefly introduced his background to Hui Niang.

Hui Niang was shocked when she heard that she was rescued from the wolves in the deep mountains.

He hurriedly glanced at the man calmly.Seeing that even though the man was only wearing an ordinary gray cotton padded jacket, he couldn't hide the nobility hidden between his brows, so he knew that the man might not be from a commoner.

After all, in the big family's house, she had too much winking and acted. For such a wealthy person, how could she be reduced to this point? Hui Niang's face was always calm and normal, she just smiled and nodded at that person.

Obviously, Cui Jiu dismissed her nodding.Humming, he got up from the kang, "I'm tired, since you have guests coming, I can make a move first (four voices)."

Li Kongzhu nodded his head, seeing that he was a little unsteady after grinding down to the ground, so he turned his eyes to look at Zhao Junyi: "Would you like to give me a hand?"

Obviously, the man is reluctant.But he still walked over, took his arm, and without saying a word, directly pulled him and strode outside.

Cui Jiu was staggered by him, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.When he came out, he said something meaningful, "Thank you Brother Zhao for your help!"

The man let go, stood there looking at him and said, "Since the goal has been achieved, let's walk on our own!"

"I've won this round!" Cui Jiu raised her eyebrows, and seeing that he pursed his lips without saying a word, he smiled with complacency, "Brother Zhao, don't worry, what you said, Cui will definitely keep it in mind, and keep it safe." You are not mistaken!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his beautiful sharp lips meaningfully, strode forward, and walked slowly towards the hut.

When Zhao Junyi saw his back going away, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his eyes also became meaningful.

Li Diaozhu in the room greeted Hui Niang to go to the kang.

Mai Ya'er helped Zhao Junyi and the others collect the remaining tea bowls, and said to Li Diaozhu, "Sister-in-law, you can keep them for guests, I will make lunch for you!"

"I'm sorry to trouble you!" Li Kongzhu didn't refuse, there really was no reason to leave the newcomer here alone.Then he handed the few snack plates left on the table to her and said, "Then, can I trouble Ya'er to help you with another plate of snacks?"

Mai Ya'er over there said nonchalantly, "What's the matter!" After saying that, he walked out with a tea bowl and a plate of snacks.

He Mu saw that the two of them seemed to have something to say, and besides, he really didn't look like a big man standing here.

Then he got up and scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law, is there anything you can help with at home?"

"Yes!" Li Kongzhu understood that it was not good for him to stay here, so he greeted Zhao Junyi outside and said, "Head of the house, I remember that the family seemed to have pulled a few wooden sticks back yesterday. Brother He Mu just came, you let Let him help you out, so you can save yourself a little bit."

"Understood!" The man standing outside said calmly, and said to He Mu who had already come out: "Let's go!"

"……Hey!"

After He Mu went out, Li Kongzhu asked Hui Niang to wait for a while.

She went out and went to the small kitchen, and saw that Mai Ya'er was washing the tea bowl, and she was holding hawthorn snacks from the oil paper bag.

"Let me do it!" Li Kongzhu reached out and took it.He glanced at the canopy bed, seeing that Cui Jiu closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, so he ignored her.

Holding the hawthorn snack, he took the clean tea bowl again.

Mai Ya'er asked her if she wanted more food at noon.

After thinking about it, he said to her: "There is still a piece of lean meat frozen in the snowdrift at the corner of the courtyard, how about chopping and frying onions?"

"Okay!" Mai Ya'er nodded, "I'll bake two more pancakes at that time, it's not enough for the steamed dough."

"It's up to you to arrange it!" Li Kongzhu said with a smile, "Remember to give your mother-in-law and his wife back home."

"Hey, I know! It won't be missing." Mai Ya'er pushed her away quickly, not to leave the guests alone, "You don't know, these days, my mother-in-law and father-in-law are both fat It's been a lap!"

"It's a good thing!" Li Kongzhu let her push, and the one who got out of the hospital replied with a smile.
