Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 29

Qin Yang and Xiuyao stood on the side knocking, Qin Yang said with a giggle, "It smells so good."

Xiuyao also laughed: "Don't you need to limit the amount of food you eat, and you can eat as much as you want?"

Mrs. Yao laughed loudly, "Only your stomach, can you eat ten if you open it up? The same goes for your nanny, you don't know if you are a little girl who won't let you eat, and you don't know if you are guilty. There are some delicious things at home. It’s because the adults are reluctant to feed the children, there is not enough food, and if the adults don’t eat to feed the children, it’s your mother who insists on withholding the children’s rations.”

Mrs. Chen gave her a wink and told Mrs. Yao not to talk about it. After all, Mrs. Zhang is also Xiuyao's mother-in-law and the mother-in-law of the child's second aunt. She can't talk about the elders behind her back. I really can’t stand the food.”

Yao shi laughed, "That's all I said."

When the dumplings were cooked, Mrs. Chen hurriedly picked them up with a wicker strainer, and Mrs. Li asked loudly, "Sister-in-law, did you win?"

Mrs. Chen replied loudly: "I've won it, I've won it, our family has made a lot of money!" As he spoke, he picked up a straw, put it in the two blue and white porcelain plates prepared earlier, put it on the stove, and picked up the rest. It comes out and is placed on the large curtain slit by the sorghum tappets.

Mrs. Li personally brought the two plates of dumplings to the main room, put the dumplings on the raised table in the middle of the north wall and offered them, and placed two pairs of brand new bright red chopsticks, and then burned three sticks of incense.

The uncle moved a chair with a backrest and placed it in front of the Eight Immortals table under the table in the main room, "Mother, sit down."

Mrs. Li touched her temple hair with a smile, wiped her face again, and sat down on the chair to accept kowtows from everyone, "Come together, don't go one by one, it should be completely cold."

Old Liutou smiled and said happily: "Kowtow, take your time, don't worry, I'll drink two cups first." Then he got on the kang.

In the main room, the eldest uncle was the leader, and the second uncle, Liu Shi, Liu Xu, daughters-in-law and children all kowtowed to Li Shi's birthday.Unless it is a full birthday like fifty or sixty, the old Liu family usually does not celebrate birthdays, even the elderly and children. After all, if you want to celebrate, you have to spend money. Great value.

When everyone kowtowed and said auspicious words, it was Xiuyao's turn. She pulled Qin Yang, and they both said in unison in a crisp voice: "I wish grandma a blessing like the East China Sea, a longevity like the South Mountain, and a wealth of wealth. Happy family."

Everyone was very happy when they heard it, and Li Shi was even more happy from ear to ear, and kept saying that the child was old and sensible, but at this time Qin Yang said that he was happy, and continued: "Look up to see the joy, the new clothes are full of cabinets, the animals are thriving, Five Blessings……."

Xiuyao hurriedly tugged him, but Li Shi beamed happily, clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Okay, good, Yang Yang said well."

Qin Yang made a show, and when he saw everyone praised him, he laughed contentedly. This was originally some auspicious words that Xiuyao taught him to recite in the New Year's post in order to coax him.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Okay, let's all get up and eat."

The meals were placed in the east room where Mrs. Li lived. There was a table on the kang, and a table in front of the kang. The whole family ate together around, enjoying themselves.

Although the Liu family is not as strict as the Qin family's rules, the daughter-in-law does not sit at the table. The elderly, children and daughters are on the kang, and the men sit on the stools in front of the kang for the convenience of working later. The three daughter-in-laws still stand by and wait on them.

Old Liu said: "Okay, it's all over now, sister-in-law and sister-in-law, please sit down and eat."

Mrs. Chen said with a smile, "Father, we have one below." Then he brought his daughter-in-law and second aunt together, and the three of them ate in the main room.

This meal made Xiuyao feel as if she had returned to her childhood, when grandparents were still there, uncles and aunts were all at home, and the whole family was so lively.However, at that time, the daughters-in-law would not be allowed to go to the table, and they had to sit down and eat together after cleaning up.

The fragrant dumplings, the leeks are delicious, the eggs are soft and tender, the cabbage and pork dumplings are extremely delicious, and the radish stuffing is also unique. Xiuyao has never been so happy after eating one of this and the other.

In addition to dumplings, there is also spinach and shrimp soup, a large plate of roast pork, pork head meat, intestines, liver and stomach, etc.

This roasted pork is the best roasted pork that Xiuyao has ever eaten. This kind of roasted pork that is suitable for cold salad is different from the braised pork that is eaten hot. It has a different texture and a different taste. .

Liu Xu abducted her with her arm and asked her to look at her second uncle. Xiuyao couldn't help being happy. The second uncle really liked to eat sausages, and he enjoyed every bite. When he smashed his mouth, his small eyes narrowed into slits.

Xiuyao ate a piece, and felt that it was not as exaggerated as the aunt said, maybe because it contained ginger and other fillings, so it didn't smell very bad at all, and it was quite delicious.

There are too many good meals, and her stomach is small, one kind of another, and she will be half full in a short while, the stomach is full, the eyes are not full, and she wants to open her belly to eat a full belly, but she is afraid of stomach pain or something .

She fought secretly several times, hesitating and hesitating, and finally put down the chopsticks cruelly.

Hey, it would be great if we could line up to eat these good meals. Eat this one today and that one tomorrow.

Seeing her put down her chopsticks, Li said with concern: "Yaoyao, why don't you eat more?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm full."

Liu Shi said: "Mother, don't worry about her, open up to eat, she won't be hungry, but she has to think about not being full."

Qin Yang was fed up. After eating, he yelled that his stomach was full, and asked Xiuyao to rub him. After rubbing for a long time, his head tilted and fell asleep.

Mrs. Li hurriedly asked her uncle to carry him to sleep in another room, and told him to cover him with a quilt so as not to freeze the child.

Xiuyao saw that Qin Yang had fallen asleep without a tail wrapped around her, so she said, "Oh, I'm so supportive, grandma, mother, I'm going out for a walk to digest food, you don't need to look for me, I'll come back by myself."

Mrs. Li warned: "Don't go far, just wander around in front of the house, don't go to the river."

Xiuyao quickly agreed and left in a hurry.

After going out, she walked south along the North-South Avenue with willows on both sides, until she reached East-West Street and turned east again. After walking downhill for about two quarters of an hour, she saw the tall water gate standing in front of her.

The Daqing River is a river flowing from east to west, with willow trees planted all over the river, and it flows eastward into Dongping Lake in Dongping County, and then into the Yellow River.

The embankment along the bank is very solid, and the river flows slowly inside the embankment like a docile dragon. This is not what Xiuyao is looking for. She walked to a dirt slope and looked around, and then continued to move forward.

After a while, I heard a roar. Sure enough, there was a section of river embankment going down, and the rumbling sound of the river breaking down made people feel a little frightened.

The wind is strong by the river, and the splashes of the river water are flying high, shining like broken gold in the sun. Not far away, there is even a tall water wheel slowly turning, pulling the water to the high altitude continuously. , poured into the trough and flowed into the fields to the south.

This is here, Xiuyao was overjoyed.

She looked around and saw that this place was a little far away from the village, surrounded by farmland, and the wheat was urged by the spring breeze, growing lush and moist.Additional fields have also been plowed and awaiting planting of spring seeds.

There are birds flying freely in the sky, swooping down to the water surface from time to time, even pecking up small fish on the water surface, and then flapping their wings happily. There are also groups of white geese and ducks swimming freely in line on the river. with.

As the spring breeze blows, the clusters of reeds and cattails on both sides of the river sway with the wind, blending into the wind with a faint water vapor, and the green aquatic plants under the water sway with the waves, showing an extraordinary beauty.

There is a canal diverging from the Daqing River here to irrigate the farmland to the north. Due to the terrain, the water flow is fast and makes a roaring sound.

Xiuyao checked the people for a while, she felt very good, and then looked at the sky, thinking that she had been out for a long time, so she wanted to turn back to the village from the front.

As she walked, she found that the river in front of her was criss-crossing, and it was not the way back to the village. She seemed to have taken a wrong turn, and scratched her head angrily, "Ah, that fork should turn up."

She turned around to go back, and suddenly heard the sound of someone humming, she was startled, and hastened to quicken her pace.

"Hey, little—" as soon as the man opened his mouth, Xiuyao raised her legs and ran away. Although it was broad daylight, there might be bad guys haunting her.

With a "whoosh", "duh", a cold blade plunged into the grass under her feet, scaring her so much that she suddenly stopped the castration.

"Little girl, help me retrieve the knife." A slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Xiuyao turned her head and saw the person who was talking to her. There was a person sitting on the big rock under the cotton locust clump. He was hidden in the shadow, so she didn't see him at all.

Seeing that he was slender and didn't look like the big and thick bandits that people said, Xiuyao was relieved.

Thinking of a little girl like her, who has neither money nor color, it is impossible for others to rob her, and besides, she has to take care of her life after abducting a girl these days, so she put her heart into her stomach as much as possible.

Looking at the almost handleless dagger on the ground, she gasped again, this man was so strong, she hesitated whether to run quickly, the man's voice sounded again, "I just want to ask for your help Do me a favor."

Thankfully he didn't say he wasn't a bad guy.

Xiuyao bent down and grasped the handle of the knife vigorously, but the knife did not move at all, and the man said again: "Don't worry about it, come here."

Although the tone sounded very gentle, it carried an order that people couldn't resist. Xiuyao was afraid that someone would poke a hole from behind, so she reluctantly smiled and rubbed her way, "What can I help?"

Taking a few steps closer, I saw that the man was only a half-sized man, wearing a bunt—well, a bunt with half of his jacket off.

"If you dawdle any longer, I might really kill someone." He said softly, scaring Xiuyao to rush over, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

When she raised her eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't help staring at her. "Ah? It's you! What a coincidence." She smiled deliberately and foolishly.

The boy's eyes, which were brighter than knives, softened a little. He pointed to some sticky things on the stone beside him and said, "Help me put this on my back shoulder."

Xiuyao turned her head to look at it, and he turned her body cooperatively, which made Xiuyao let out a "hiccup" in fright, and began to hiccup.

She covered her mouth quickly, but Hiccup continued to hit, so she had to ignore it, "You, Hiccup, what a big wound." Herbal medicines, such as bletilla splendens, luxuriant cattail, cattail ears, orientalis leaves, and some herbs she didn't know, probably also stopped bleeding.

There is a washed tile on the stone next to it, and some smashed herbs are spread on a veil inside.

Xiuyao's hands trembled, she had never seen such a big wound, and she wondered if these things could stop the bleeding?
As soon as she turned her eyes, she saw the wound, which was obviously a knife wound, right in the middle of the shoulder, the flesh was turned outward, and the blood had not completely stopped, especially the bleeding from the back of the wound.

She closed her eyes, and quickly picked up the tile, "I, I didn't wash my hands." If the wound is inflamed and infected with tetanus, don't look for her.What the hell is this kid doing?It took only a day to see blood on his face turned to blood on his shoulders. Could it be that he was being sought by his enemies?
"My name is Qi Feng, what's your name?" the boy asked suddenly.

Xiuyao froze for a moment, but didn't understand what he meant, was this threatening to settle the score with herself if something went wrong?

She groaned, her mind spinning, "My name is Xiuyao."

"Oh, let's start applying the medicine." Qi Feng said lightly, but his hands couldn't help but grasp something to relieve the pain, and his muscles tensed slightly.

Xiuyao became more nervous when she saw that his hand was tightly holding something like a knife handle on his waist. Could it be that he was going to kill someone to silence him?
"Don't be afraid." He said again suddenly, his voice deliberately relaxed, so that the little girl in front of him could relax a bit. After all, for such a small child, seeing such a big wound would make most people go stupid.

Xiuyao wasn't frightened by the wound, but was frightened by him and became more and more nervous. The hand that was about to apply the medicine paused, his voice was so calm and indifferent, maybe he really wanted to kill her, she couldn't help but She shivered again, a chill rose from the soles of her feet, and in an instant, a feeling of cold numbness rushed up to her forehead.

She hesitated for a moment, but changed her position and stood behind his hand holding the knife, so that at least he couldn't cut her for a moment when he drew the knife.

Xiuyao thought wildly, closed her eyes, became cruel, grabbed a lump of cold medicine paste and pressed it down suddenly.

Qi Feng was in so much pain that he couldn't help but "uh..." With a sound, Xiuyao clearly felt the body under her hands tremble suddenly, and her muscles suddenly tightened. She closed her eyes and prayed quickly in her heart, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" I……."

"Come again." Qi Feng was sweating from the pain, and his voice trembled slightly. The dressing was indeed a hundred times more painful than the wound.

Xiuyao held her breath, grabbed another lump, and continued to press. Qi Feng didn't make a sound this time, but her body trembled slightly, and Xiuyao trembled too, and the hiccup stopped suddenly because of nervousness.

Xiuyao hurriedly applied all the medicine in one go, and the lower part was washed away by blood, so she quickly pressed it with her hands.

Qi Feng trembled again in pain.
