Across the Market

Chapter 100

It was just after noon, and the sun was shining brightly outside, and the daylight was just right.The white sunlight shone into the small room through layers of thin window paper, and reflected on the ground in spots, forming dots.Zhu Xi quietly looked at the round dot on the ground, as if he immediately thought of his childhood.

She remembered that when she was young, Big Brother Shen was very good at reading, and often when he came to play at home, he would teach himself how to read and write.He is very good at teaching at a young age, and it is much easier to learn from him than to learn from his brother.Later, even if he left his hometown to study in Jinling, he also left books for her to study with his younger sister A Fu. He said that he would test them when he came back, and they were not allowed to be lazy.

When he left, he was as old as his younger sister Ah Fu, and at the age of 13, he already understood the relationship between men and women.Normally, he was so shy that he wanted to avoid him, but he couldn't help but want to get close to him. When he was caught in an endless conflict, he suddenly left.

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and she finally hoped for him to come back again, but he seemed to be getting farther and farther away from her.

Thinking about it, the current brother Yulou is no longer worthy of a poor girl like her.He is talented and has a graceful demeanor, and he will definitely be able to enter high school in the future.When he becomes an official, there will definitely be many daughters from wealthy families in the capital who want to marry him.

Those ladies must be prettier and more talented than myself, and must be more knowledgeable than myself... If I really like Brother Yulou, I can't be like this all day long.It should be a smile. When facing him, just like Sister Fu, no matter what you say or do, you should be more natural.

At least, even though I can't stay with him forever as I wish, at least I can see him often, that's enough.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xi suddenly felt much better. She curled up in her mother's arms and laughed.

Wei Sanniang felt strange, why did this girl suddenly laugh?Could it be that he was overly sad and a little crazy?As soon as this thought came out, Wei Sanniang trembled unconsciously, then held her daughter's face in her hands, and comforted her with distress: "Sister Xi, mother's good daughter, you are the most well-behaved and sensible, you can't do this." like torturing yourself."

Zhu Xi saw that she was not crying yet, but her mother was so anxious that she cried out. She curled her lips and said, "Mother, my daughter is fine, don't worry." She raised her sleeve to wipe her mother's tears, and said, "Actually, my daughter is not that stubborn. She has to marry him. Now that he doesn't have that kind of thought for his daughter, she doesn't think much about it."

"You really think so?" Wei Sanniang couldn't believe it, but seeing that the bright smile on her daughter's face didn't look like it was fake, she was relieved, hugged her daughter again and said, "Mother knows, Sister Xi is the most obedient, since that's the case, you don't have to hide from him when you meet him in the future."

Zhu Xi nodded and said: "I see." She put down the half-finished embroidery work, got up and said, "There are distinguished guests at home, and it is not suitable for us to stay in the house all the time, mother, you go and set the table. I'll go to the kitchen and help Sister Fu and the others."

At this time, the small kitchen was filled with the tempting aroma of vegetables, and the hot pot was almost cooked, and this time Zhu Fu was made of boiled chicken soup as the base material.Although she didn't know that Xie Yi and Shen Yulou would go out of the city early in the morning to help her find milk, but she guessed that Mr. Xie would come to eat at noon, so she went to the market early in the morning to buy a black bone After the chicken was stewed, she went to work in the Jingbin Building.

After a busy afternoon, when I came back, the chicken had just been stewed, and then the two rushed over.

Zhu Fu fished out the chicken and made a separate dish, then added several meat dishes to the chicken soup and cooked it. When it was almost cooked, he asked Shen Yulou to move to the main room together with the coal stove.

Without saying a word, Shen Yulou stretched out his hand to move it, but Zhu Fu hurriedly stopped him: "It's hot, be careful to hurt your hands, hey, use this to hold it." She took two large pieces of rags and handed them to Shen Yulou, letting him Wrapped in a rag and carried the coal stove by hand.

Xie Yi swallowed desperately, smelling the fragrance and was about to walk over, but was held back by Miss Nuan's little hand.

Sister Nuan raised her face and said, "We are in charge of burning firewood, and the second sister is in charge of cooking and cooking. The second sister asked Brother Yulou to serve the chicken soup. You can't go." She looked serious, her eyes widened. Then he pointed into the stove with his small hand, pulled it with the tongs, and then laughed, "Look, look, the baked sweet potatoes are cooked, you can take them out and eat them."

Xie Yi scratched his head and looked in the direction of Sister Nuan's finger, only to see a few large pieces of black things in the stove, like burnt carbon.

"What is this? How can I eat it? I don't want to eat this. I want to eat chicken." He pointed at the chicken firmly.

Sister Nuan didn't want to talk to him anymore, she just lay down in front of the stove with her little butt pouted, and then carefully poked the cooked sweet potatoes in the stove with tongs.She is short and short, so her hands are small and her arms are short, she rubbed her nose with black ash, and she didn't even pull out the sweet potato.

Xie Yi didn't know what this little girl was doing, where could I eat those black pieces!But I was afraid that she would burn, so I could only go back together and said with a smile: "Little sister, since you want to eat that black thing so much, let me help you get it out? Be careful not to burn your hands."

Sister Nuan didn't want help, she wiped her face with her small hands stained with black ash, then pushed Xie Yi and said: "I don't want your help, I finally learned how to bake sweet potatoes with my second sister, I You have to get it out yourself." She was lying in front of the stove like a frog, wrinkled and dirty face stained with black ash, showing a kind of hard work.

Instead, Xie Yi was taken aback. If he had known that this girl was so stubborn, he would have stopped talking about carrying the chicken just now.

Touching his nose, Xie Yi smiled helplessly, then leaned over cheekily and said, "Sister Nuan, can you also give me a chance to learn how to bake sweet potatoes with you? You can teach me how to make these sweet potatoes first, Then teach me how to bake. You tell me, and I will do as you command."

Sister Nuan's eyes rolled, thinking that Mr. Xie had helped the second sister, so let's teach him.
