Chapter 28

Tong An, Tong Le and Xiao Yu ran in front very excitedly, it looked like they were very happy today, Tong Zhuzhu and Xiao Ninglang walked behind, she had a smile on her face.

Xiao Ninglang didn't say a word, but he was thinking in his heart: "This woman is so different from the one in the rumors."

It was nightfall when we got home, and the small mountain village was immersed in the quiet night and fell asleep.

Xiao Ninglang pulled Xiao Yu to his side, seeing the smile that could not be concealed from the corner of his brother's mouth, he felt a little distressed, today's Xiao Yu was like he had never seen before.

I wanted to say something to my brother, but couldn't say it, so I rubbed his head and told him to go to bed early.

House repairs are advancing day by day. During this time, Tong Zhuzhu is repeating her daily life, trying to lose weight, and cooking food is the norm in her life.

In the early morning of this day, her peaceful life was broken.

Goudan rushed to her house in a whimper, and shouted: "Sister, you have a guest at your house, and they said they were looking for you, and they are still in a carriage. Go and have a look."

Tong Zhuzhu put down her work and followed Goudan out of the courtyard, still wondering in her heart, she couldn't think of who would come to her.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw a carriage slowly stop in front of him, a thin body came out from it, and then a refined middle-aged man got off the carriage, and said to her with a smile: "Tong girl, You make it easy for me to find."

Tong Zhuzhu was so frightened that she didn't come to her senses for a while, so she quickly saluted and said, "The daughter of the people has seen the magistrate."

It was the county magistrate Wang Weiqing who came. He looked at the panic-stricken girl in front of him, waved his hands and said, "If I treat you as a private visit in my incognito today, these vain gifts will be useless."

A small hand pulled on Tong Zhuzhu's sleeve, and complained in a low voice: "Sister Tong, you are lying. You promised me to cook something delicious for me. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Looking at Wang Xiufan who seemed to be a little thinner, Tong Zhuzhu felt guilty for a while, she was so busy repairing the house that she had time to go to town, she was too busy to forget about it.

Tong Zhuzhu immediately squatted down and said softly: "Xiaofan, I'm sorry, my sister is too busy these days, and I haven't been to town. Today, my sister will cook for you, okay?"

Wang Xiufan's eyes immediately brightened, and he said happily, "Okay, I want to eat a lot."

Tong Zhuzhu looked at Wang Weiqing in embarrassment and said, "The magistrate is really sorry. During this period of time, because my family is repairing the house, I don't have time to go to town, so I forgot about it."

Wang Weiqing didn't care about this, he came to see her today because Xiaofan's picky eaters became more and more serious, and his health was getting worse day by day, he had no choice but to come to Tongjia Village.

He explained Wang Xiufan's situation to Tong Zhuzhu, and Tong Zhuzhu immediately said that he would make delicious food today and promised to let Wang Xiufan eat more.

"Here, you don't need to call me the county magistrate anymore, just call me Uncle Wang. Don't be too far-fetched, Xiaofan has always regarded you as her sister."

After speaking, Wang Weiqing dragged his son and Tong Zhuzhu into the yard.

After entering the courtyard, Tong Zhuzhu greeted them into the temporary thatched hut for greeting people, and said embarrassedly: "This room is a bit shabby, don't mind."

After speaking, he brewed a pot of tea and brought it to Wang Weiqing. Wang Weiqing took a sip and immediately felt refreshed. He asked, "What kind of tea is this? It tastes good. It has a refreshing fragrance."

This is the scented tea made from mountain flowers that Tong Zhuzhu picked on the mountain a few days ago. She didn't expect the taste to be surprisingly good. She smiled and said, "This is the scented tea I made. It's a cheap thing. Uncle Wang likes to drink it. Decorate it for you, take it back and drink it slowly."

Wang Weiqing really liked Tong Zhuzhu's indifferent and intelligent spirit, without the coy attitude of a peasant girl at all.

Tong An and Tong Le heard that there was a child at home, and she was so curious that even Xiao Yu looked at him curiously. The two little guys surrounded Wang Xiufan and asked questions, which made Wang Xiufan blush and shy. He couldn't speak a word, but he had a happy look on his face.

Looking at these little radish heads, Tong Zhuzhu suddenly wanted Wang Xiufan to taste the small dried fish in the river.

As she said that, she went to find a net and a bucket, and brought a dustpan, and said to Wang Weiqing, "Take Xiaofan to the riverside to catch fish, the dried fish there is delicious."

Fearing that Wang Weiqing would refuse, the surrounded Wang Xiufan said anxiously, "Daddy, I'm going, I'm going."

Wang Weiqing, who was sitting on the stool drinking tea, almost stuffed his chest with a sip of tea. He glanced at his son and thought, seeing how anxious you are, are you afraid that I won't let you go?
He agreed, and a group of children in the room immediately cheered. Wang Xiufan felt the surrounding atmosphere. Although he had never caught fish before, he knew it must be fun.

It didn't take long for the few people to come to the river, which was still the shallow water area that day. Xiaoyu went into the water first, led Tong An and the others to pull the net away, and started to catch fish in a decent manner.

The father and son of the Wang family stood on the shore, while Wang Weiqing looked around, inspecting the way of life of the people under his jurisdiction.

Poor Wang Xiufan looked enviously at the few people in the water, but Wang Weiqing didn't pay attention to his son's small eyes for a while.

Tong Zhuzhu bit the bullet and said to Wang Weiqing, "Uncle Wang, why don't you let Xiaofan play in the water too."

Master Wang, who was watching seriously, came to his senses, waved his hand and said, "Get down if you want, don't get your clothes wet."

When Wang Xiufan heard this, he hurriedly followed Xiao Yu's example and rolled up his trousers, and went into the river.

Seeing him come down, Xiaoyu gave him one side of the net and taught him how to use it. During the process of fishing, the two of them became closer without knowing it.

She was also scooping up fish with a dustpan. Not to mention, there were no big fish in this river, but there were quite a lot of small fish like this.

An hour later, there were more than half of the small fish in the bucket, so Tong Zhuzhu hurriedly went home to cook.

When they got home, Tong Zhuzhu asked Xiao Yu and the others to play with Wang Xiufan, but Wang Weiqing said that he should not be bothered, and he walked around the yard by himself.

Looking around at the ingredients in the kitchen, she prepared to make fried pork with sour bamboo shoots, tofu and Chinese toon salad, scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, hot and sour potato shreds, a pot of mustard soup boiled in lard, and made some mustard dumplings for the Wang family and his son separately. I am worried that they are used to eating white rice and are not used to cornmeal.

Finally, all the small fish in the riverside net are fried into crispy dried fish, and it is very delicious with a little salt and pepper.

A group of children outside had already come into the kitchen smelling the smell of fish and watched eagerly, all of them gulping their saliva wildly.

Divided the meals into two tables, one table was house repair workers, the other table was Wang's father and son, Wang Weiqing and Tong Dahai were talking, Tong Zhuzhu was very surprised, she didn't expect the magistrate and her father to talk so happily.

During the meal, Wang Xiufan and Xiaoyu sat at the same table, while Wang Weiqing sat with Tong Dahai and the workers, drinking some wine.

For this meal, Wang Xiufan ate a lot of dishes, including two small bowls of dumplings, and the dried fish was the children's favorite.
