《Accompany by A Fool to do Farming》


 Chapter 1: Crossing (minor repair)

    When Zhong Ziqi woke up from the chaos, he found something extremely unfavorable. He unexpectedly appeared in a strange place!


    He remembers yesterday that he went to the wedding of a good buddy he had a crush on for a long time. Then he was so drunk that he wanted to go home alone, and finally fell asleep on the road. Could anyone get him home?


    However, this family is poor enough. Zhong Ziqi stared at the jet-black roof and the invisible curtains. He remembered to look at it. He didn''t expect to find his body sore and weak, and his head hurt.


    "Squeak" the door sounded. The sound of footsteps gradually approached, and he wiped his face full of meters, with a red mole on the center of his eyebrows, combed a tall bun, and wearing a dark blue robe... a man?


    Zhong Ziqi only felt that her mind was a little messy now.


    At this time, people obviously found that he was awake, and immediately pinched his waist and said: "Oh, your kid is finally awake, I will throw it out for you if I don¡¯t wake up again, Zhong Ziqi, I tell you, don¡¯t die with me. If you die, we can save some rice, but now it''s just right to wake up, and the day after tomorrow, I will pack up and get married." After speaking, he snorted, twisted and left.


    Zhong Ziqi originally had a headache, but now he is even more dizzy because of the current situation. Zhong Ziqi heard what this person said, but he understood the last sentence. He was going to marry... and Zhong Ziqi was dizzy.


    This dizzy, many fragments flashed in his mind, it was not particularly complete, but it happened to let him figure out what was going on.


    It turns out that he has passed through. This era is an aerial era. The country he lives in is called Daze, and there are two evenly matched countries around, forming a three-legged situation. Nowadays, there is no war in the country, and the lives of the people are prosperous and healthy.


    The name of his body is also Zhong Ziqi, and he lives in a remote mountain village in Daze Country¡ªZhaojia Village. As the name suggests, most of the villages have the surname Zhao, but the Zhong family is just an outsider.


    Grandfather Zhong Ziqi¡¯s time was full of war and chaos. In order to avoid the war, he took his wife and children to flee. When the war finally stopped, he happened to fled to Zhaojia Village and settled here after discussing with his wife. At that time, the village chief of Zhaojia Village was a villager. The kind-hearted person, seeing that it is not easy to drag the family with one''s mouth, agreed to settle here, and also divided a few acres of land.


    Zhong Ziqi''s grandfather has only one son, that is Zhong Ziqi''s grandfather Zhong Wansheng, and Zhong Wansheng married his current wife and gave birth to two sons, the elder Zhong Zhenping and the second child Zhong Zhenhang, who is also Zhong Ziqi''s father.


    Zhong Ziqi¡¯s father was a talented person who was able to read and write. He was a child born at the beginning. He could have continued to study and be admitted as a talented person because at that time Zhong Zhenping was about to marry and he had no money at home, so he needed pen, ink, paper and ink to learn. It was quite expensive, and Zhong Wansheng, who had a soft ear, listened to the words of his eldest son and asked Zhong Zhenhang to suspend school.


    However, relying on his ability to literate and hyphenate, he found a good job in the town. Married a beautiful brother named Shen who had fled from other places, and gave birth to Zhong Ziqi, a little brother.


    When he got here, Zhong Ziqi had to complain about it. There are no women in this world. There is only a man called a brother. He has a bright red cinnabar mole on the eyebrows and is responsible for marrying the children. Zhong Ziqi doesn''t care about this. He is a homosexual. Before his death, he attended the wedding of his long-loved buddy. What makes him care is that men can have children?


    He just wanted to say hehe, can you let him wear it back again? Thinking of having a big belly and sewing and mending at home, it''s hard to bear to look straight at the scene, okay? He is a dignified man of seven feet. He should be brave to kill the enemy on the battlefield... Okay, a little unreliable, but he can support his family. If he really wants to get married in the future, he must find someone who really likes him, listen. What he said, so that he could avoid having children, Zhong Ziqi thought happily, completely forgetting a truth-God''s will cannot be violated!


    The plot returned to Zhao''s family. Not long ago, Zhong Zhenhang and Shen were out. They did not expect to encounter a group of rampant bandits, but they did not return. Zhong Ziqi, who was only sixteen years old, became an orphan like this.


    Besides, Zhong Zhenping married a brother Li Xiujuan from the neighboring village. Before getting married, Li Xiujuan was gentle and pleasant. After getting married, she gave birth to a kid and a brother, and they gradually revealed their original form. The vixen was undoubtedly revealed. He was still alive when Zhong Zhenhang was alive. Being able to keep a low profile, take advantage of bullying and bullying everyone will turn a blind eye.


    Unexpectedly, Zhong Zhenhang would sell Zhong Ziqi less than three months after his death. In Li Xiujuan''s words, it coincides with the age of marriage. He found a good house for Zhong Ziqi and collected a couple of silver.


    If it¡¯s really a good person, it¡¯s fine. What he found for Zhong Ziqi was a fool from the village. This fool was named Zhao Zhengan. This year¡¯s 17th, he will soon be crowned. He was not stupid and smart, but he was out to work. At the moment, his head accidentally fell on the stone and became a fool.


    His queen Wang Clan saw that the people who used to make money from home every day now had to pour money for soups, medicines and medicines, and immediately quit. These family properties belonged to his son, so he came up with a bad idea and gave him one. The marriage was divided out, and Zhao Zhengan¡¯s father had no objection, and he was not willing to spend the money on a fool.


    In this way, the unlucky Zhong Ziqi sold to a fool without knowing it. By the time he knew it, it was too late. Everyone in the village knew it. He questioned his uncle, grandma and grandma in disbelief, and found that they already knew it. He was the only one in the dark, and his uncle even persuaded him. If you want to start a little bit, you will definitely be happy if you marry in the past.


    Looking at the ugly faces of this family, how long did his Eminem go? So he hit his idea, and for a while, he was overwhelmed and hit the wall. He was frustrated and the doctor was simply bandaged up without asking the doctor. In the end, he became a modern Zhong Ziqi. After reading these memory fragments, Zhong Ziqi sighed. Sure enough, there is not the most cheating, but the cheating. Well, this time he doesn''t need to find someone himself. He will do it directly. If you think about it, you will be kind and a fool! It seems that at least his virginity doesn¡¯t need to worry...

 Chapter 2: meet

    Opening his eyes again, Zhong Ziqi obviously felt that his body was better, and he lost the sense of weight. At this time, the sky was already dark outside, and his stomach screamed, looking around the room. There were two big boxes in the corner. , There is a square table and two chairs in the middle of the room, without any food.


    He braced himself and walked to the dressing table and picked up a copper mirror. His face was sallow and his hair was scattered. He looked like a madman. He put the mirror back indifferently, holding the oil lamp and walking the door frame to the kitchen as he remembered. .


    At this time, the moon was high outside, and the cries of frog crickets came one after another. He opened the kitchen door and rummaged carefully. Only one cornmeal nest was found. It was still very hard to the touch. Zhong Ziqi was hungry and uncomfortable, so he opened his mouth to eat. Go to the water tank and scoop some water to drink while choking.


    Wowotou is also made with coarse flour. It scratches the throat and swallows it hard. Zhong Ziqi can''t help but ridicule. This family is enough. If his nephew is ill, he won''t ask a doctor for cooking. He won''t keep food for cooking. He will do every bill. Remember, it may be affected by the memory of the original owner, and he especially does not wait to see this family. But it is not so easy to leave here. He is a brother, he is still a newcomer to this world, and it is not safe to go anywhere. It is better to be in this village, at least it is safe and guaranteed.


    The next day, when the sky was light, Zhong Ziqi was shaken awake. Was it the annoying uncle that caught the eye? He looked at him silently.


    Li Xiujuan pinched her waist and said loudly: "There is still time to lie down here, how bright is the sky? Go out and work quickly." He gave him a blank glance afterwards.


    Zhong Ziqi was silent, and he was going out in the next few days. It is better to do more than to do less. If you talk back to Li Xiujuan, there will be no good results, waiting for him to be free.


    After the outside door, the sun just showed his head. The house he lived in was built by his father Zhong Zhenhang on the side, and the tall brick house built in the middle was also the money from his father, but he lived in the house. Does the family still have his grandpa and grandma?


    Because his father found a good job in the town, the money he brought back every day made the uncle''s family greedy. They clung to a three-acre land, and they were so lazy. Now, how can someone who is holding money push it outside? When Zhong Zhenhang proposed the separation of the family the next time, they did not agree to the separation. They couldn''t, and Zhong Zhenhang, who was passionate about righteousness, didn''t mention it again.


    This morning, Zhong Ziqi didn''t know where to start. He looked at her uncle and walked into the kitchen. He hesitated or went in, and asked quietly, "What do you want me to do?"


    "What? What''s not in this job is that cutting wood, carrying water, watering the vegetable field, and the old hens outside are not feeding, which one is not a job..." Zhong Ziqi left before listening, it was really noisy!


    Li Xiujuan kept talking halfway and found that the person involved was no longer there. After a sip, a trace of doubt flashed in her heart. It felt like this kid is different today. What''s the specific difference? It seems that he is no longer bullying him as he did before, but no matter what, at least he won''t seek death anymore, so his silver or two will be saved.


    Zhong Ziqi went out of the kitchen and walked around in the yard, and found that he was not able to do much himself. In his memory, carrying water and cutting firewood was generally a job for a man to do. He didn''t bother to be stupid and did everything. .


    Pushing open the courtyard door, it is a slanting road with many tall trees. Zhong Ziqi found that all the houses in this village are irregular to be found, and behind the village is a big mountain with lush trees and wild flowers in full bloom. .


    Zhong Ziqi went into the yard to find a knife, and told Li Xiujuan to go out to mow some grass and feed the chickens. It doesn''t matter if he agrees or not, he goes out. Zhong Ziqi walked to the foot of the mountain with a knife and a basket, planning to mow some grass there.


    When the sun rose high, Zhong Ziqi''s grass was almost cut, and he planned to go back, otherwise he would never leave a meal for him in accordance with the personality of the group of people in the family.


    "Ziqi!" A crisp voice sounded from behind.


    Zhong Ziqi stopped and turned around and found that the person calling him was shorter than him, dressed in a light blue commoner, with a handsome face and red eyebrows. He searched in his memory to know who this person was, Zhao Ning. This physically best playmate is sixteen years old just like him, and he is reaching the age of marriage.


    Zhong Ziqi adjusted her expression silently, and smiled: "Xiao Ning."


    Zhao Ning ran to Zhong Ziqi''s side in two steps, looked at him around, and said angrily: "You have lost weight again. We haven''t seen so much weight in a few days?"


    Zhong Ziqi knew that the original suicide had been concealed, and he didn''t click it: "It''s okay, but it''s just that I''m not feeling well these days."


    "Is it all right? Did you see the doctor?" Zhao Ning immediately asked worriedly.


    "It''s okay, it''s much better already."


    Zhao Ning breathed a sigh of relief, then looked around and saw that no one came to Zhong Ziqi and said in a low voice: "Ziqi, I listen to my Eminem and they say that when you marry that fool Zhao Zhengan, their family will immediately treat you. separate it."


    Zhong Ziqi was very uncomfortable with Zhao Ning''s sudden approach, but was immediately attracted by his words again, split? Isn''t that right with your own mind? Only when you live alone can you be quiet and free. Even if you live with a fool, it is much better than a family. You have to know that there is nothing good about that family.


    Zhong Ziqi curled up the corners of her mouth and smiled and said, "That''s not right, it''s not that bad to separate it out."


    "But¡ªI heard from the villagers who said that you can give you two or three acres of land at most, and the money is estimated to be less. This¡ªhow will you live by then?" Zhao Ning said anxiously.


    The foot of the mountain is not far from Zhong''s house, and the time to speak has arrived. Zhong Ziqi patted Zhao Ning''s shoulder comfortingly: "Don''t worry, I know it in my heart. Go back, I''ll also go back to eat."


    "Oh, okay." Zhao Ning reluctantly left, wondering if Ziqi always rejected marrying Zhao Zhengan?


    Zhong Ziqi entered the yard, first threw the grass into the chicken coop, washed his hands and entered the hall. The family was eating. When he saw him coming back, the uncle rolled his eyes and said sharply on his mouth: "I cut it for so long. If you order grass, you must be lazy. This will watch the meal come back."


    Zhong Zhenping pulled Li Xiujuan, frowning: "Said a few words, Ziqi come over for dinner." He looked like an old man.


    The old man Zhong Wansheng and Wu, who were sitting in the middle, watched the scene in front of them without gnawing. Zhong Ziheng and Zhong Zijun winked and looked at Zhong Ziqi with disdain, and squeezed the dishes on the dinner table into their bowls.


    Zhong Ziqi sat on the stool silently as if he hadn''t seen or heard it. The food on the dinner table was the most inferior whole grains. The vegetables were some carrots and cabbage. There was no meat at all. Zhong Ziqi took a bite of the vegetables and found that there was no oil. How much, really stingy.


    In fact, Zhong Ziqi really missed Li Xiujuan. Except for the big family, all ordinary people do not use large spoonfuls of oil. You must know that the oil is not cheap this year. Vegetable oil is delicious but expensive. It is better to buy. Two taels of fat are fried out of lard, which can be eaten for a long time, and the remaining few cents can be used to pull a few more cloths.


    After eating, Zhong Ziqi didn''t care about other people immediately. He really didn''t want to stay here for a minute, so he hurried back to his house.

 Chapter 3: Married

    Zhong Ziqi was lying on the bed staring at the gray curtains, her thoughts couldn''t help but drift away. I don''t know if Hyundai herself is dead or exchanged with this body and soul. If she died, her parents would be very sad, right? But fortunately, he is not the only child in the family. There is a capable elder brother who will definitely take good care of his parents, which he is very relieved.


    And that person¡ªthat person should also be sad for himself, after all, on the surface they are still good buddies, and he thinks that what he has hidden in these years is quite successful. Thinking of the happy days since acquaintance, Zhong Ziqi sighed with a wry smile, so that he could completely give up.


    When his thoughts turned back, Zhong Ziqi sighed again. He is still a little confused until now, and he feels the kind of feeling that he can''t touch the ground. He hasn''t adapted to it. Marrying a fool...


    He doesn''t know how to describe his feelings at this time. He himself is a gay. He doesn''t reject being with men, but a stranger is still a fool. He really doesn''t know what the future will be like. It can be said to take one step at a time.


    Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye it is the day when Zhong Ziqi gets married. Due to the special circumstances of both parties, one was silly and the other was in the filial piety period. In order to save money, both parties simply banqueted a few tables of people, and they were separated after the meal.


    Zhong Ziqi was sitting on the bed in a half-old clothes, beside him was a man who had been silly and happy. This is the first time Zhong Ziqi has seen Zhao Zhengan. He has thick eyebrows, narrow eyes, tall nose, thick lips, a sturdy figure, and a height a head and a half taller than him. This is a handsome guy.


    Zhong Ziqi shook her head regretfully. How could a good handsome guy become a fool? Too violent!


    "What''s your name" Zhong Ziqi asked gently. He knows his name, but he can''t sit around like this, he needs to communicate and get to know him.


    "Fool, fool," Zhao Zhengan said stupidly.


    Zhong Ziqi frowned. Needless to say, this must be what people usually call that way. He is a bit displeased. What he hates most is discriminating and insulting others. He may be self-conscious and sensitive, and he may be kind in his heart when he grows up. Realizing that his sexuality is different from others, he is afraid of other factors such as discrimination, so he grabbed Zhao Zhengan''s shoulder seriously and said: "You are not a fool, your name is Zhao Zhengan, Zhao Zhengan, remember?"


    The fool smirked: "Zhao Zhengan, Zhao Zhengan."


    "Hey, my name is Zhong Ziqi, it''s you¡ª" Zhong Ziqi said after a pause. I don''t know what to say, it is really difficult for him to bring in the identity of being a fool.


    "Daughter-in-law, you are my daughter-in-law." Zhao Zhengan yelled suddenly, reaching out and grabbing his hand.


    Zhong Ziqi was dumbfounded, and immediately stared at him to retort: ??"I am not your daughter-in-law, I am you... your brother, yes, brother."


    "No, Eminem said that you are my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law, ooh." When she said that, her eyes were red, and she looked at him pitifully, for fear that he might object.


    Yes, he doesn''t need to think about it this time, he was directly brainwashed.


    "Okay, okay, do you have to listen to me in the future? You can do whatever I ask you to do, otherwise I won''t want you." Zhong Ziqi black line, looking at him as a big man, alright, although he is only seventeen years old, What kind of pitiful, a kind of contrast, that is, is the vision swollen?


    When they communicated well, the door of the house over there was knocked loudly.


    "My Eminem told you to go over." A voice sounded, and then disappeared immediately, presumably it was running away.


    Zhong Ziqi knew that this must be Zhao Zhenghong, the child of Zhao Zhengan''s stepmother. Call yourself over? I don''t know what to do.


    Zhong Ziqi got up and walked two steps outside. She couldn''t walk any more. Turning around and looking up along her hand, she was still the pitiful Zhao Zhengan: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law."


    Zhong Ziqi sighed and sighed, backhand pulled the palm that was much larger than him, and walked out the door. When they came to the hall, Zhao Cheng and Wang were sitting there, and there was Zhao Zhenghong with eyeballs wandering around next to him.


    Zhao Cheng was a man who was taller than Zhao Zhengan. He had dark skin. When he saw Zhao Zhengan coming in, he just glanced lazily and turned his head. On the side, Wang Cuihua, whose real name is Wang Cuihua, is a slightly fat brother with a thin lip. He looks as mean and acrid as Li Xiujuan.


    Sure enough, Wang Cuihua took the lead and said: "Brother Qi, you married today. I have to talk to you about some things. This boy Zhengan is now seventeen. At the age when we can split the family, you can¡¯t let us keep raising. Isn¡¯t that right? His brother hasn¡¯t got married yet, and it¡¯s spread out to raise a silly brother who would dare to marry him."


    Zhong Ziqi raised her eyebrows and looked at him, but she didn''t expect to be quite straightforward: "Then what do you mean?"


    "Separate."


    "Then, how do you divide the Eminem?" Zhong Ziqi pretended to be ignorant on the surface, with a Coke inside, and the division happened, and it would be better to divide it tomorrow.


    "Our family has 12 acres of land, divided into three acres for you. What do you think? This is a lot, enough for you two to live." Wang Cuihua said that the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes. He feels distressed when dividing these three acres. It''s been a long time.


    "What about the money? Eminem, neither of us have a penny."


    "Do you still want money? How much money did he spend on the medicine jar? It would be nice if you didn''t ask for it." Wang Cuihua opened up a caustic pattern, and muttered about how much Zhao Zhengan was so stupid as to spend this time.


    But Zhong Ziqi didn''t care about these things. He seemed sad and said: "Em, Dad, how do we live without money, and where do we live? I think it''s better not to divide, I will take care of the two elders. "He knows that Zhao Zhengan''s signature must be on the book of the division. If he disagrees, no one wants him to sign it.


    Sure enough, Wang Cuihua was anxious: "No? Are you still dependent on our house? I don''t need you to wait, this house must be divided..."


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t speak, but stood there blankly. Zhao Zhengan cowered and stood behind him, holding him by the hand. He was terrifying Eminem and Dad, so he beat him at every turn.


    The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, leaving only Wang Cuihua scolding from time to time.


    At this time, as the head of the family, Zhao Cheng said impatiently: "It''s OK, you always divide the money (a thousand copper plates). As for the house, there is an ancestral house at the back of the village. It''s not too shabby. Go there. "Wang Cuihua wanted to say something, but Zhao Cheng''s eyes swept away and she immediately stared at both Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan.


    Ancestral house? In my memory, it was far away from the village, not far from the foot of the mountain. There were still a few empty houses there, all of them were in ruins. These were the houses where my grandfather lived. However, Zhong Ziqi did not refute. First, he knew that if he did not live there, he would definitely be homeless. The Zhao family now has no spare space for him to live in. Second, it is far away from the village, which he prefers. He is unfamiliar with people. What should I do if I find that something is wrong over time? Besides, living in the village will definitely be gossiped about.


    After that, Wang Cuihua said that he would go to Lizheng''s house to sign tomorrow, and then left angrily. Zhao Cheng impatiently led the youngest son away. There were only two people left in the hall for a time.


    Zhong Ziqi shrugged indifferently. The sooner the better, he was not afraid of any bad reputation. He was separated on the second day of the wedding. They were the ones who could not raise his head. He was pitiful at best.


    "Daughter-in-law!" Zhao Zhengan pulled Zhong Ziqi''s sleeve.


    "En?" Zhong Ziqi looked back at him.


    "Haha..." Zhao Zhengan smirked.


    Zhong Ziqi realized that Zhao Zhengan seemed to have been very quiet just now, and he was not like a fool. He couldn''t help but wonder: "How do you¡ªyour Dad Amu treat you?"


    "Beat-Ada Mu hit me woo" Zhao Zhengan''s eyes blushed again aggrieved, and he touched his body with lingering fears with his hands.


    Zhong Ziqi slapped his hand and lifted his shirt. He found many red marks on the back of his shoulders. Some were about to disappear, and some seemed to be new. A trace of distress flashed in his heart, but he didn''t notice when he was angry. "Let''s stay away from them in the future, just let us live together, okay?"


    "Okay, okay, wife." Zhao Zhengan said silly, as if the scars on his body didn''t hurt at all.


    Zhong Ziqi glared at him speechlessly, wondering if the words "daughter-in-law" had become his mantra.


    I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because of the unhappiness at noon. The dinner at night is even worse than Zhong¡¯s. Zhong Ziqi frowned and the brown rice made her voice uncomfortable. She thought about buying some rice to eat after the separation. The money is not the same. Province. Glancing at Zhao Zhengan next to him, he was eating happily, but he was a little shy and afraid to pick up vegetables. He didn''t care about Wang Cuihua''s cold eyes and added a large chopsticks to Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan immediately happily gave him a warm smile.


    At night, Zhong Ziqi lay on the bed and looked at this shabby house. As he expected, the wedding room during the day should be other rooms in the house, and this is Zhao Zhengan¡¯s real residence. With rotten things, dusty, and a strange smell, Zhong Ziqi stared for a while with difficulty breathing. Zhao Zhengan was already sleeping to death with his waist and he tried to hold him in his hand. Open, I didn¡¯t expect that this kid is still very strong, so why do you hold so tight...


    In the end, he couldn''t. Zhong Ziqi had to turn his head over and sleep face to face with Zhao Zhengan. At the very least, Zhao Zhengan didn''t have any unpleasant odors on his body, so he could completely cushion the odor.


    The next day, Zhong Ziqi woke up in a tactile sensation. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zhao Zhengan¡¯s enlarged face appear in front of him. The hand was still touching his face, and he smiled happily when he saw him wake up. : "Daughter-in-law, your face is so slippery, you need to touch it."


    When Zhong Ziqi woke up, she was still a little confused. She reacted slowly for a while, and quickly patted Zhao Zhengan''s restless paws, and touched your sister!


    "Wake up, get up and put on clothes quickly." Zhong Ziqi put on her clothes numbly as she said. After several days of groping, she didn''t have to put on clothes at all.


    On the contrary, Zhao Zhengan still buttoned the buttons clumsily, and some even buttoned them in the wrong position. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t see it and slapped his hand away. Zhao Zhengan looked at him with aggrieved face, looking at Zhong Ziqi''s hair straight. I really don¡¯t get used to this cute (naturally silly) behavior, I stretched out my hand awkwardly and unbuttoned the button again: ¡°Each button faces a gap, remember, don¡¯t buckle it wrong.¡±


    Zhao Zhengan didn''t know if he understood, he looked at Zhong Ziqi silly.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t expect him to answer anything. In fact, it would be nice to have a fool. At least he would not be lonely. You can talk to him when you are lonely, which is different from a person''s life. Moreover, this man was still a fool who listened to him, so he was raised as a son.

 Chapter 4: Separation

    After eating in the morning, Zhao Cheng, Wang Cuihua and Zhong Ziqi, Zhao Zhengan, went to Lizheng¡¯s home. Li was a man in his early fifties. He was sitting in the courtyard with his little grandson and talking and saw them coming in. Lizheng was only slightly surprised, so he asked his son to take his grandson away.


    Lizheng was in the kitchen and didn¡¯t know what he was doing. He walked over when he heard the shouts. When he saw Zhao Cheng and his family, he immediately understood that Zhao Cheng¡¯s family was going to be separated. It''s really black-hearted to split up in two days. He is a straightforward person, bored in his heart, and his face is not so good-looking, and he does not care about the two sons and hugs the little grandson directly: "Come on, dear grandson, grandma will take you to eat delicious food."


    The child took him away, Li Zheng got up and flicked his clothes and turned around: "Go into the house and talk."


    Zhong Ziqi looked around for a while and secretly remembered the location of Li Zheng''s house, and the last one walked into the house.


    "Lizheng, today we are here to make a note." Wang Cuihua said impatiently.


    Li Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Separate?"


    "Yes, you see that Zheng''an is not young anymore. His brother will be married in two years. Our house is not enough to live in. I don''t need Zheng''an to take care of them, so let''s go out."


    Lizheng ignored Wang Cuihua''s muttering and asked Zhao Cheng, "You agree?"


    Zhao Cheng nodded indifferently.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at Li Zheng and nodded immediately: "Uncle Li Zheng, I also agree."


    Now that both parties agreed that Li Zheng didn''t talk too much, and found paper and pen to write all the points according to Zhao Cheng''s statement, before signing, Zhong Ziqi suddenly said: "Emm, is it true that you don''t need us to provide for the elderly?"


    Wang Cuihua was anxious to sign, and waved impatiently, "I don''t need you." It would be nice not to go out and make money.


    "Oh, Uncle Lizheng, please write this sentence as well, and also write that we will not interfere with each other''s finances after the separation of the family. We don''t need to take a penny to provide them for the elderly, and they have no right to interfere with everything in our family in the future. ."


    "This¡ª" Lizheng didn''t expect that Zhong Ziqi, a thin brother, was quite scheming, not as weak as the village said.


    "Uncle Lizheng, you can see. Zhengan is a fool. Our family doesn''t even have a labor force. We rely on me as a brother. I can''t get the money to provide for the pension. We both have problems in our lives." Zhong Ziqi looked at Li Zheng pitifully, trying to arouse his compassion. He didn''t know that his appearance was exactly the same as Zhao Zhengan''s usual aggrieved appearance.


    Sure enough, Li felt soft and sympathized with him: "Okay, do you have any objections?"


    Zhao Cheng frowned, Wang Cuihua quit, he was still a little bit brainy, and the verbal words were different from the written words. He thought that if one day these two people became rich, then they¡ª


    However, Zhong Ziqi didn''t give him a chance to open his mouth: "If Daddy Amu is not happy, can we split up a little bit more money? It is really difficult for us to support ourselves."


    Sure enough, the two with small eyesight shut up immediately and agreed not to pay a penny for the two.


    In this way, the two parties signed the agreement in triplicate, and the agreement came into effect.


    When he returned home, Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t need Wang Cuihua to rush, and consciously went back to pack things and leave. In fact, there was nothing to pack. He didn¡¯t bring many things, only two or three pieces of clothes, and Zhao Zhengan had even less. The clothes that are in good shape are still married. The king Cuihua deliberately rushed to change it for fear of bad reputation. It was old. The other clothes were basically tattered. There were a lot of big holes and small holes on the top. Zhong Ziqi wanted to throw it away, but thought of it. I don''t know what life to face, so keep it.


    When Zhao Zhengan saw Zhong Ziqi packing things up, he pulled his sleeves a little uneasy: "Daughter-in-law, don''t you go, okay, fools will listen to you."


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t expect him to be quite sensitive. Putting aside the things in his hands, he warmly coaxed: "Didn¡¯t you tell you that your name is Zhao Zhengan and you are not a fool? Or should we live elsewhere, OK? Only the two of us live together ."


    Zhao Zhengan tilted his head and said, "Aren''t you with Amu and Dad?"


    "No, only the two of us." Zhao Zhengan happily clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, only with my wife."


    Zhong Ziqi was helpless, let him call him, looking at him happy and remembering the scars on his body, when he took off his clothes to go to bed last night, he opened his clothes and looked at it. There were many long red stripes, obviously beaten with a stick. There were also some scabs or scars that came out, which shows how difficult his life in this family is.


    Zhong Ziqi is a person with a somewhat indifferent nature. Deep down, he likes this kind of farmyard life. There is no intrigue and no sorrow. Although his current life is a little worse than what he imagined, his life must continue, and now he has A person who lives on him will starve to death if he doesn¡¯t work hard, but he won¡¯t have any regrets or troubles. This is also thanks to Zhao Zhengan¡¯s face that first gave him a certain good impression, plus him He was obedient and unintentionally selling cute (stupid performance) how could he be hard as a rock in his heart.


    Shaking his head, Zhong Ziqi packed up her things, wrapped them in a package and carried them on her back. After going out, Zhong Ziqi saw Wang Cuihua sitting in the hall. He walked over and shouted: "Eminem, we are gone!"


    Wang Cuihua replied impatiently: "Let''s go, let''s take the food distributed to you, quickly take away the dishes and chopsticks. You are not allowed to pick the vegetables in the yard until you eat them." This is where you were before. They were all discussed, even though Wang Cuihua had 120 unhappy, it was not easy, and then she turned her head and walked away without knowing what she was whispering. Anyway, it wouldn''t be a good thing.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t care either, looking at the small half-bag of coarse grains, speechless, this Wang Cuihua was too picky, enough for a few meals? Very good, he keeps this account, don''t ask him if you have the ability.


    Kneeling down, Zhong Ziqi wanted to carry the coarse grains on her back, but her sleeve was pulled again: "What''s wrong?"


    Zhao Zhengan stretched out his hand to grab the coarse rice and carried it on his body: "Shen, I am carrying it." Then he lifted up the belt for daily necessities.


    Zhong Ziqi was stunned, and some emotions in his heart flashed away, and he couldn''t grasp it quickly.


    After going out, he took Zhao Zhengan to the ancestral house. When he met the villagers on the way, he also greeted generously. When others asked him what he was doing, he didn''t hide it, saying that he was separated and he went to the ancestral house.


    After walking past the village and looking back, you can see several houses with uneven distances not far from the foot of the mountain. It is said that there were more people in Zhaojia Village than now, so the houses were built more backing the mountain, and some people moved later. After moving to death, the ancestral house was quite close to the mountain and it was not safe, so it was gradually abandoned and moved forward collectively.


    The Zhao family¡¯s house is well preserved, at least it hasn¡¯t collapsed. Because the Zhao family moved late that year, they also came to live in later, so this house is well maintained, but the other houses are terrible, some collapsed. Halfway through, some have even turned into dust long ago.


    What made Zhong Ziqi relieved was that these dilapidated houses were not connected, and few of them stood still. Otherwise, it will be scary and terrifying if someone hides here in the future.


    Pushing the gate of the courtyard, the wood and stools are scattered all around, looking messy. Zhong Ziqi sighed and asked Zhao Zhengan to put down the things in his hands first, and drag him into the house to take a look. It was much better than he expected. The main house was a small house, and the main house was the main house when he first entered. There is a door on the side connecting two large bedrooms. The kitchen was built separately next to the main house.


    Except for the old and dirty, at least it is okay to live in. If you look up at the least light-emitting area, you just need to clean it up. They only need to spend the first difficult days. He won''t let If you are in this predicament, a good day is just around the corner.


    "Daughter-in-law, where is this?" Zhao Zhengan looked at the unfamiliar place with some anxiety, stretched out his hand and quietly grabbed the corner of his wife''s clothes.


    Zhong Ziqi patted him on the head and said with a smile: "Zheng''an, this is our home, we will live here in the future, don''t be afraid."


    Zhao Zhengan received the comfort of his wife and he was no longer afraid, and immediately visited his new home with great interest.


    Zhong Ziqi shook his head, and it was really good. He pinched his nose and walked into the bedroom on the left. Fortunately, the table and chairs were all there. He found a rag to wipe the ashes off the table and put the package on the table. Unwrap the package to find a rather torn piece of clothing, tear it apart as a rag.


    There was a well not very far in front of their gate. After all, there was a well because they had lived in the past. Later, everyone moved to the place where they live now that the well was too far away and re-pierced it. Zhong Ziqi found a wooden barrel at a certain corner, and saw that Zhao Zhengan was still running around and said: "Zhengan, I will be back soon after I go out to fetch water. You will wait here for a while."


    When Zhao Zhengan heard the words, he immediately ran over and took the wooden barrel in Zhong Ziqi''s hand: "Daughter-in-law, Zhengan." After saying this, he happily ran to the well.


    Zhong Ziqi suddenly realized that Zhao Zhengan had run to the well and was pushing the stone on the top of the well. He hurried over: "Zhengan, don''t move! I''ll do it, and be careful to fall down!"


    Zhao Zhengan glanced at him suspiciously, slicked a bucket of water in his hand, and then looked at Zhong Ziqi with a look of praise.


    Zhong Ziqi: "..." My worry is superfluous, isn''t it? It''s probably not too skillful to be so skilled. But looking at his bright eyes, he still said silently: "Zhengan is really good, but you have to be careful not to fall, you know?"


    Zhao Zhengan got the silly joy of his wife''s praise and satisfaction: "No, I do it often, and I will definitely not fall."


    As expected, Zhong Ziqi sighed: "Then also be careful. I won''t need you if you fall inside."


    "A fool will be careful, don''t want me from my daughter-in-law." Zhao Zhengan immediately grabbed his arm in horror, for fear of losing it to him.


    Zhong Ziqi helped her forehead, really wanting to ask herself to say what she did, but it was quite useful: "Don''t worry, I won''t leave you behind, but do you want to listen to me? Also, if you call Zhao Zhengan, you are not a fool, let''s talk about it. I''m a fool, I don''t want you." Every time this guy calls himself a fool when he is in a hurry, somehow he doesn''t want to hear it at all.


    Back in the yard, Zhong Ziqi began to clean the house, wiping the dust, and Zhao Zhengan followed along with it, and the serious appearance made Zhong Ziqi amused.


    "Is Ziqi here?" A familiar voice resounded outside the door, it was Zhao Ning who met that day. "Here!" Zhong Ziqi quickly put down her hand and went out to live. In the yard, Zhao Ning was standing with a kid holding something in his hand and looking around.

 Chapter 5: Into town

    Seeing him coming over, he said happily: "Ziqi, I heard that you have moved here, we two will help each other, and my Eminem asked me to bring this."


    Zhong Ziqi was a little surprised: "Thank you auntie for me. It''s really a gift in the snow. I''m still worried about what I will build tonight."


    "What kind of carbon is you giving? Tell me what you lack, who is the one of us?" Zhao Ning complained.


    Zhong Ziqi knows that he is too polite. Of course, there is a rare friend who should cherish it: "Okay, please help me clean up with Brother Sheng." The memory kid is Zhao Ning''s brother named Zhao Sheng. Engaged, after the autumn harvest, they will get married, and they are as honest as his father.


    Four people work faster than two people. Don''t look at Zhao Zhengan as stupid, but Zhong Ziqi can''t compare with the sharp face of work. He was surprised when he saw it, even Zhao Ning said it was a pity.


    After busying all morning, he was finally able to sit down. Zhong Ziqi wanted to go to Zhao¡¯s vegetable garden to pick up some dishes and come back to cook, but was embarrassed to find that there were no seasonings and even kitchen utensils.


    In the end, Zhao Ning said indifferently: "Forget it today, you just moved here and you have to clean up, and we will come back to eat after you have everything done."


    "Okay, thank you so much today."


    "Are you polite again? Walk around and eat at my house."


    "No, I have rice at home and I will take a bite today. I will go into town to buy some things and come back tomorrow." Zhong Ziqi is sorry to trouble others. He is also helping with the quilt. How can he go to eat, so he refused Zhao Ning. Kindness.


    After sending the two away, Zhong Ziqi turned to the gate of the mountain and looked at Zhao Zhengan who was following him. He smiled and asked, "Are you hungry? I''m going to cook."


    Zhao Zhengan touched his stomach and said honestly: "Hungry, it keeps screaming."


    Zhong Ziqi was amused, went into the house and spread the quilt so that Zhao Zhengan would take a rest and go to the kitchen. The kitchen was cleaned up, and it looked empty. He poured out the brown rice and washed it carefully, put it in the pot, put some vegetables and a little salt to boil a pot of vegetable porridge.


    Zhao Zhengan snores and eats fragrantly. When he is at home, Daddy Emu will not give him a full meal. It is better for his wife to eat as much as he wants.


    The busy day passed quickly. In the evening, when he took a break, Ziqi thought about the two rooms on the left and right. He didn¡¯t have to squeeze in one room with Zhao Zhengan. He didn¡¯t expect to receive a strong reaction as soon as he discussed with Zhao Zhengan." Daughter-in-law, you want to sleep with you, don''t you want me?" Zhao Zhengan said, his eyes were red again, and his hands held Zhong Ziqi tightly.


    Zhong Ziqi took a deep breath and said that your tears are worthless, aren''t they? Just say it, you can be an actor, and I didn''t say you don''t want you, don''t you be so sensitive, it makes him uncomfortable.


    "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, sleep with you."


    Zhong Ziqi glanced at her eyebrows and said, "If you don''t call me a wife, I will sleep with you." After saying that, Zhong Ziqi felt strange.


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhengan was stubborn: "You are my daughter-in-law, you want to be called a daughter-in-law."


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t laugh or cry: "Do you know what the daughter-in-law does?"


    "Sleeping." Zhao Zhengan said frankly, feeling proud that he had heard of it.


    Okay! It''s completely connected, and there is no way to get rid of it. Zhong Ziqi fell silent on the bed, threw the pillow to a silly person, and glared: "Sleep." After speaking, he turned to his side and closed his eyes.


    Hearing the sound of a squeaky voice behind him, a warm body came close to him in a short while, and an arm was put on his waist. Zhong Ziqi frowned and took the arm away, and after a while he stretched it out again, then took it away, and warned, "Don''t put it on me."


    Zhao Zhengan gave an aggrieved cry, and didn''t dare to catch it. His wife was so angry that it was terrible.


    Zhong Ziqi went to sleep with peace of mind after seeing it disappeared. After a day of tiredness, he was already tired.


    Behind him, Zhao Zhengan saw his daughter-in-law asleep, and carefully stretched his hand over and put his hand on his slender waist. Seeing that the daughter-in-law did not respond, he went to sleep with joy.


    The next day, when Zhong Ziqi woke up, the sky was already bright. He stretched out comfortably, got up and put on clothes. Seeing that Zhao Zhengan was sleeping soundly, he did not wake him up. He went out to wash and cook by himself.


    When the meal was ready, I heard a few rapid calls. "Daughter-in-law? Daughter-in-law?."


    Zhong Ziqi hurried out and saw that Zhao Zhengan was looking for him anxiously, his eyes were red: "I am here!"


    Zhao Zhengan immediately ran over to hug him.


    Zhong Ziqi moved uncomfortably, a little embarrassed, but don''t care about it when he thinks that he is a fool, and softly comforted: "Didn''t I say I won''t leave you behind? I''m cooking, you smell the food. It¡¯s all done, let¡¯s wash our faces and have dinner. I¡¯ll take you to town after dinner."


    Zhao Zhengan was immediately distracted, looking expectant.


    Zhong Ziqi sent him to the hall to wait, and took the porridge by herself, thinking that Zhao Zhengan and the other fools were not the same, at least obedient enough not to make trouble, just like a seven or eight-year-old kid, curious about everything. Mixed with the fear of being abandoned, I don''t know if it will recover. I should find a doctor to check it. But then if I recover my memory...cough cough, I don''t want to think about it anymore, the boat will go straight to the bridge.


    After eating, Zhong Ziqi locked the door and took Zhao Zhengan to the town. The town they are going to is called Qingshui Town, and it takes half an hour to get there from Zhaojia Village. Zhong Ziqi touched the consistent copper coin in her arms. She didn''t know how long it would take. It would have to be saved before the family had no income.


    "Zheng''an, usually at home, do you still have a painful head? Do you feel dizzy?" Zhong Ziqi remembered that Zhao Zhengan seemed to be out of medication when he didn''t get well. I don''t know if there is any sequelae.


    Zhao Zhengan tilted his head to look at him: "I won''t be dizzy, but occasionally my head hurts."


    It seems that we should go and see what the doctor said. Although the money is not much, at least it can be at ease.


    Arriving in Qingshui Town, Zhong Ziqi took Zhao Zhengan''s hand tightly, and urged anxiously: "You must follow me, you know?"


    "I see, wife." Zhao Zhengan shook the shaking hands, but his eyes were attracted by the dazzling array of products around.


    Zhong Ziqi also looked around with some curiosity, and stopped to ask about the prices of the goods. Unexpectedly, they were cheaper than he expected. But these are gadgets and you have to go inside. At this moment, a medical clinic appeared in front of Zhong Ziqi, and he hurriedly pulled Zhao Zhengan in.


    The patient was diagnosed with an old man in his fifties. He was obviously surprised when he saw Zhao Zhengan. He immediately looked at Zhong Ziqi: "You belong to Zhao Zhengan?"


    "Um... I''m his... husband, doctor, do you know him?" Zhong Ziqi said calmly, the doctor obviously knew Zhao Zhengan.


    The doctor touched his long beard: "Why don''t you know, his head is seen from here."


    "The doctor, how is his situation? Is it possible to recover?" Zhong Ziqi asked anxiously.


    "To tell the truth, I''m not sure about his situation. I speculate that there should be a blood clot in the back of his brain, which caused him to become what he is now. If he can be restored to his current state, I don''t count.


    Zhong Ziqi was silent, maybe he will never get better. This was his worst prediction, but he was a little bit disappointed when he heard the doctor say: "The doctor, does he need to take some medicine?"


    The doctor shook his head: "He hasn''t had any sequelae after taking the medicine for so long, which shows that the medicine is no longer useful for him. It depends on his good luck."


    Zhong Ziqi thanked the doctor and pulled Zhao Zhengan out and walked forward silently.


    "Daughter-in-law... don''t be unhappy, a fool will be good."


    Zhong Ziqi turned her head and smiled: "I''m not unhappy, didn''t I tell you not to call yourself a fool? Let''s go, let''s go shopping." Anyway, the current life is pretty good, he will be raised as a child and will not recover. It''s not bad, you can stay with yourself, what can you lose? It must be the wrong line of nerves in your head, tusk.


    When he came to the street selling groceries, Zhong Ziqi swept around and decided to start with the important things. After entering a store selling rice and noodles, a guy immediately came over to greet him: "What does this husband want? We have everything in our small store, and the prices are cheap."


    Zhong Ziqi saw that this store was doing well, and when he entered and exited most of the poor people like him, he knew that this store was indeed not expensive. He first went to check the price of rice noodles. Brown rice was cheap, two cents per catty, the rice and white noodles he wanted to eat were five cents per catty more expensive, and the more expensive ones were ten cents per catty.


    After thinking about Zhong Ziqi or white rice and white noodles, I bought ten catties each. After paying the money, Zhong Ziqi realized that it was an unwise choice for the two to come empty-handed. Fortunately, there was a bag seller on the street. He bought two for four cents and bought rice white noodles. I put it in and went to the condiment store with Zhao Zhengan and bought ten catties of salt. Salt is expensive for ten cents a catty. Otherwise, salt is very profitable, and no one can do without it, so the country prohibits it. Private offenders, expressly stipulated ten cents, if there are more, they even violate the criminal law. Rapeseed oil for five cents a catty Zhong Ziqi bought ten catties, and also bought some pepper, aniseed, soy sauce, vinegar, and expensive white sugar.


    After buying these, Zhong Ziqi and the two went to the meat stall. Since they are here, they have to bring some meat back.


    The meat seller asked in a loud voice: "What kind of meat does this husband want? These are all fresh meat."


    "How do you sell it?"


    "Fat meat in 5 texts, pork belly in 5 texts, lean meat in 4 texts, and bones and ribs in 3 texts."


    "Two catties of fat, two catties of pork belly, three catties each of ribs and bones."


    "Okay, wait a minute."


    Zhong Ziqi counted the money, his eyes scanned the pig intestines, liver and lungs, and asked the boss: "How much do these pigs cost?"


    "This thing needs to be kept, if you want it, it will be given to you for nothing." The butcher said quite openly.


    Zhong Ziqi thanked him happily: "Thank you, the boss, please wrap it up for me." After paying, Zhong Ziqi bought some sewing bowls and so on and planned to go home. Today, the money has been spent more than half, and it is a bit bad at this speed. what.

 Chapter 6: invite

    On the way back, with heavy things on his back, Zhong Ziqi walked hard. After all, he was a little brother in his original body, he hadn''t done any heavy work, and his strength was really small and pitiful. Zhao Zhengan was very relaxed. He refused to take off his back basket several times. He knew that Zhao Zhengan''s back basket was not light enough. Most of the sunken objects were there.


    At this moment, a carriage came from behind. There were several aunts in their forties and fifty years in the carriage. The coachman was an honest man in his fifties. Most people in the village called him Uncle Zhao. I bought a horse-drawn carriage with my spare money. Usually, when we go to the town, we would like to ride in his carriage and give me a couple of dollars for the carriage.


    The carriage stopped next to Zhong Ziqi, and Zhao Ershu muttered, "Brother Qi, come up, go back in the car."


    "That''s right, Qi Ge''er carries such a weird thing on his back, come up soon!" The enthusiastic Ah Ma said in the same way.


    Zhong Ziqi really couldn''t walk anymore. Feeling that he couldn''t make it with the two pennies, she pulled Zhao Zhengan into the car and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."


    "What did Brother Qi buy? So many things?" someone asked.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and said, "Isn''t this the division? There is nothing to eat at home, so I hurried to buy some back."


    "Oh, it costs a lot of money to buy so many things, right? When Wang Cuihua was separated, he did not give you less, right?" Someone who had a bad relationship with Wang Cuihua caught the opportunity and asked deliberately. In fact, everyone was in the heart. According to Wang Cuihua''s temperament, how much can he give?


    "It''s not much, it''s always money."


    "It''s always consistent? This Wang Cuihua is too much, even if it''s not a fool or his son, he can''t do this? How can you live with a fool, really..." the man said with a face of righteous indignation, and There were also some people who followed and followed the twitter.


    If it wasn''t for the gloat in his eyes that was too obvious, Zhong Ziqi might still believe it. He smiled on his face and got bored in his heart. Is it interesting for these people to be a fool? They are happy when they see other people having a bad time, right?


    Looking at Zhao Zhengan, who was quietly lowering her head, Zhong Ziqi felt uncomfortable. Reaching out to hold his clenched hand, Zhao Zhengan immediately raised his head and smirked at him.


    At the end of the village, Zhong Ziqi pulled Zhao Zhengan out of the car, and unsurprisingly accepted all the pitying eyes. Originally, Zhao Ershu didn¡¯t plan to collect money from him, because when Zhong Zhenhang reborn, there was some friendship between them, and it¡¯s strange to look at Zhong Ziqi. pitiful. However, none of these Zhong Ziqi knew, and forced Zhao Ershu two pennies. He didn''t want to owe favors if they were not familiar with each other.


    It was too early when I returned home. In order to save a few dollars, Zhong Ziqi didn''t eat in the town. He walked into the hall, put down the basket, took out the contents and directed Zhao Zhengan to put it away.


    Because it was late, Zhong Ziqi was hungry and tired and planned to take a simple bite, and invited Zhao Ning and the others to dinner at night. Putting the back basket in the corner, Zhong Ziqi straightened up and asked Zhao Zhengan, who looked energetic: "Are you hungry?"


    "Hungry." Zhao Zhengan touched his stomach and nodded affirmatively, his narrow eyes blinked.


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help but refreshed his views on Zhao Zhengan. It was not noisy even when he was hungry, very good!


    "You wait, I''ll cook, and we''ll eat delicious food in the evening."


    "Oh" Zhao Zhengan nodded obediently, but swallowed quietly in his mouth, really wanting to eat meat, his wife said that it was good to eat at night!


    Entering the kitchen, Zhong Ziqi held his head and thought about it. Brown rice would definitely not be eaten anymore. I just bought noodles today and let''s make noodles. Zhong Ziqi untied the noodle bag and scooped out enough noodles and (huo) water. He made noodles, saving time and effort, boiling the soup, and putting the noodles in the pot for a while.


    Zhao Zhengan stood by the door with half of his head exposed, his eyes staring at the oily gnocchi.


    Zhong Ziqi accidentally turned around to see this scene, and almost drooled. He couldn''t help laughing, and handed him the pre-installed gnocchi: "Nuo, put it on the table, don''t sprinkle it, be careful to burn it!"


    Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhengan took the basin carefully, moving step by step towards the hall.


    Zhong Ziqi brought the bowls and chopsticks with the cucumber that had just been mixed.


    Zhong Ziqi is still good at craftsmanship, which can be seen from Zhao Zhengan''s bowl of hot gnocchi in a blink of an eye, and he hasn''t finished half of the bowl. Looking at Zhao Zhengan''s second bowl, he opened his mouth to check up and down without worry: "Is it hot? What are you doing in such a hurry? No one will grab it with you."


    Zhao Zhengan looked at the person with good eyebrows in front of him with bright eyes and smirked, and let him check it without moving. He replied in a lisp: "It''s so hot, it''s good (eat


    Seeing that his mouth was not burnt, Zhong Ziqi said with a rough skin, and said dumbly, "Eat slowly, these are all yours."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded fiercely, and Er Zhuzi (the eight or nine-year-old child in the village) said that everything must be listened to by his wife, or the wife would not want you, so the wife said to eat slowly, then he would eat slowly. It¡¯s just that it tastes so good, I really want to eat it with big mouthfuls. He has never had such a fragrant meal. His wife is indeed the best, better than Eminem. If you don¡¯t beat him or call him a fool, give it back. He is delicious.


    It¡¯s an exaggeration to say that Zhong Ziqi¡¯s craftsmanship is so good, but it is more than enough. As a single dog living alone in the previous life, his cooking skills should be lit or lit up. At the beginning, it was either scorched or boiled. When he was born, no one would notice, so he practiced slowly, and when he had practiced, he invited that person to the house with the name of the newly learned dishes, and gradually Zhong Ziqi''s cooking skills became better and better. .


    After walking for most of the day, Zhong Ziqi was really tired. After eating, he told Zhao Zhengan not to run around and went to bed to rest. The energetic Zhao Zhengan went around the house boredly, and finally squatted in front of the bed. His eyes were staring at the sleeping wife, and her hands tickled to touch her slippery face, and she felt that this would definitely wake her up, so she had to give up.


    While watching, he giggled for a while. He was also sleepy. He took off his coat and climbed onto the bed lightly. He habitually put his hands on Zhong Ziqi''s waist and hugged him tightly. Then he closed his eyes with satisfaction. .


    The sleeping Zhong Ziqi frowned uncomfortably in the dream, and moved uncomfortably, but she was really sleepy and did not wake up.


    When the sun was about to set, Zhong Ziqi finally woke up, stretched out happily, turned his head and didn''t see Zhao Zhengan''s figure, he yelled out of concern: "Zhengan? Zhao Zhengan?"


    After a while, a rush of footsteps sounded, and Zhao Zhengan showed his head from behind the door: "Daughter-in-law, you are awake."


    Zhong Ziqi rubbed her brows and asked: "What are you doing?"


    Zhao Zhengan raised his dirty hands: "I''m pulling weeds."


    Except for the entrance and the direction leading to the gate, the yard is mostly land. The weeds have been very high for many years. When they moved here yesterday, they just cleaned out the tall grass, Xiaonen The grass has no time to take care of it.


    When Zhao Zhengan woke up, Zhong Ziqi was still not awake. He walked out of the house and remembered that his wife would not let him go out alone. When he was bored, Eminem let himself do it when he saw many grasses in the yard at home. The work of the grass, so if you pull all the grass yourself, your daughter-in-law will be happy too, right?


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t know that he was careful not to run out, so he let go, waved his hand and praised without hesitation: "Zheng''an is very capable, you continue to pull it, I''ll make dinner for you."


    After finishing the clothes, Zhong Ziqi remembered that he hadn''t told Zhao Ning yet. He had to notify him earlier, or they would have finished eating. After going out, Zhao Zhengan was squatting diligently in the yard to pull the weeds. He shouted, "Zhengan."


    Zhao Zhengan got up and ran over, looking at him suspiciously.


    "I want to go out and come back soon. Are you waiting for me at home?" Zhong Ziqi thought that he couldn''t go everywhere with him. Everyone must learn to adapt slowly.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at Zhong Ziqi pitifully: "Will take me with my wife? Zhengan won''t make trouble. He will listen to you obediently and take me!"


    Zhong Ziqi was troubled to organize a language: "Zheng''an, remember the two people who came to our house yesterday? They helped us, and I''m going to invite them to dinner, so it''s not that I don''t want you. I''ll be back soon. I have to come back to cook. You see, this is our home. I have all my clothes and everything here. I won''t leave you behind. Isn''t it okay to be obedient?"


    In Zhao Zhengan¡¯s mind, heaven and man were at war. A villain said to follow, and a villain said that he wanted to listen to his wife. He hesitated for a while. It was the second villain who defeated the first. He was afraid that his daughter-in-law would hate him like other people. He wants to be obedient: "Then...Daughter-in-law, you must come back soon."


    Zhong Ziqi looked at Zhao Zhengan with tears in his eyes and nodded solemnly: "Then Zhengan is at home, no one should open the door unless I am back, remember?"


    Zhao Zhengan nodded with red eyes.


    Zhong Ziqi went out with confidence and found Zhao Ning¡¯s house according to the memory location. Zhao Ning¡¯s family lived not far from the village, not very far, because the village was not in the center, so he did not meet other villagers along the way. There are a few relatively large willow trees in the center of the village. There are a few stools built there, and everyone likes to sit there and chatter.


    "Boom boom boom" Zhong Ziqi knocked on the door.


    "Who is it?" Zhao Ning''s voice went from far to near.


    "Xiaoning, it''s me, Ziqi."


    Zhao Ning''s voice was full of surprises and opened the door: "Why are you here? Come in."


    "I won''t go in. I''ll ask you and Brother Sheng to go to my house for dinner. I bought meat and treat you to dinner at night."


    "Hey...Why is it so troublesome, Ziqi, it is not easy for you to do what you do to spend the money, I would like to ask you to wait until you get rich, and I will go if you don''t ask me." Zhao Ning complained a little. He really thought about Zhong Ziqi, what he said yesterday was a joke, but he didn''t expect Ziqi to take it seriously.


    "Don''t worry, I know in my heart that buying some meat is a celebration of the housewarming, please come over and lively, this...you won''t have to refuse, right?" Zhong Ziqi pretended to be sad, and felt that Zhao Ning was at his bottom. People who can think about him in the period are really good.


    "Okay, okay, I''ll go in a while." Zhao Ning reluctantly compromised.


    "Then don''t forget to call Brother Sheng Sheng, thanks to Brother Sheng yesterday," Zhao Sheng did all the hard work.


    "Know it."


    Zhong Ziqi just smiled and left.

 Chapter 7: Dinner (minor repair)

    Close the door, Zhao Ning walked into the house.


    "Xiao Ning, who was it just now?" Zhao Amu asked without looking up while sitting in the room sewing clothes.


    "It''s Ziqi, I bought meat and asked me and my brother to eat at his house." Zhao Ning sat beside Eminem.


    "Didn''t it mean that you didn''t allocate much money when you separated? Why don''t you save more." Zhao Amu frowned in disapproval.


    "I said the same thing, Ziqi said he knew it in his heart, but I think Ziqi and I seem to have a relationship, not as refreshing as before." Zhao Ning complained that they were the best in the past. When there are good things to share together.


    Zhao Amu listened to Zhao Ning¡¯s words and said admiringly: "Ziqi is a good child. He has experienced so many things. He has grown up and is sensible. You thought he was not alone before he was married. He is a dragger. , You must have a charter plan to do things, how can it be like a child."


    "Why can''t, we are very good." Zhao Ning said unconvinced.


    Zhao Amu shook his head, his own brother is really uneasy. If he doesn''t know what to do when he is married, it seems that he has to take care of him.


    When Zhong Ziqi came home, he lay down on the door and listened. It was quiet. He reached out and knocked on the door: "Zheng''an, I''m back, open the door."


    The door was opened as soon as the voice fell. Zhao Zhengan, with red eyes, jumped over and hugged Zhong Ziqi in surprise, muttering: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law."


    Zhong Ziqi patted his head distressedly, guessing that this guy had been sitting behind the door since he left: "Look, I''m not back, I won''t leave you alone."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded happily, and walked into the house holding Zhong Ziqi''s arm in his hand.


    "I''m going to cook. If someone knocks on the door in a while, just open the door. If you get bored, you can continue to pull the weeds, or come to the kitchen to help me burn the fire. Will it be good?"


    "Yes, I often help Eminem to cook." Zhao Zhengan said proudly, patted his chest. He doesn''t want to leave his wife for a second now. Of course, he chose the latter. He took a small bench and sat on the kitchen stove and waited for instructions. The eyes moved with Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi let him take a look, first wash the rice bought today and mix half of the brown rice into the pot. There are usually two large pots in this countryside, which makes cooking very convenient.


    Signaling that Zhao Zhengan is ready to start cooking, Zhong Ziqi cut the pork belly he bought today into pieces, and washed the pork liver ribs and set aside for marinating. He plans to save the remaining fat for the oil, and he saves some pigs and bones to eat slowly.


    Heat oil in a pot, saute garlic, green onion and ginger, add ribs and stir fry until white, pour in appropriate amount of water and simmer until rotten, add salt, a little sugar, and stir-fry the dried rice just before it comes out of the pot. plate. Looking at Zhao Zhengan who was obediently burning the fire, Zhong Ziqi took a pair of chopsticks and put two spare ribs in a bowl and handed it to him: "Try it, is it delicious."


    Zhao Zhengan couldn''t wait to take it over. He hadn''t eaten meat for a long time. Even if the family made meat, he wouldn''t eat it. Eminem would scold him. Zhao Zhengan took a bite of the ribs without being too hot, and immediately looked at his wife with bright eyes: "It''s delicious, my wife''s made the best."


    Zhong Ziqi also laughed. He is passionate about cooking when someone joins him in cooking. The spicy pork slices used in the second dish, the pork belly, is mainly spicy. After it was fried, he still took a few pieces and gave it to Zhao Zhengan. He could smell it. The hot pepper came out, and he squatted in front of Zhao Zhengan with a bit of evil, watching him eat the meat into his mouth, chewed twice, his eyes were red, and he inhaled, his evil spirit was satisfied, and he got up. Go to the water tank to scoop a bowl of water and pass it to him: "Spicy, right? Drink some water."


    Zhao Zhengan quickly picked up the bowl and drank it. Zhong Ziqi reached out to take away the slices of spicy pork, but Zhao Zhengan''s strong resistance did not expect.


    "This is too spicy, you can''t eat it."


    "You can eat, it''s delicious, don''t take it away."


    Zhong Ziqi scratched her head and looked at him: "Then tell me if your stomach is uncomfortable, we have to see the doctor if it is too spicy."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded quickly, holding the bowl tightly in his hand, for fear of being snatched away.


    At this time, the door rang and Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan to continue eating. He went to open the door. It turned out that Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng opened the door: "You are here, come in, and the meal will be ready soon."


    Zhao Ning sniffed and looked at the kitchen with bright eyes: "It smells so good, Ziqi did you make this?" Zhao Sheng sniffed the scent and couldn''t control his saliva. He didn''t want to come, after all, he was just married. He also brought a foolish brother, he was not very good, but Eminem said it was okay to go with Aning. Aning was not afraid of a brother, so he came with him.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled crookedly: "Of course I did it, or who else could it be?"


    "Wow! I didn''t know you had this hand yet."


    "There are still many things you don''t know. Come in, you''ll be ready soon. My name is Zheng''an to accompany you."


    Zhao Ning waved his hand: "Let me help you, learn by the way, and let Zhao Zhengan talk to my brother."


    In this way, Zhao Zhengan was kicked out of the kitchen and followed his wife''s words to accompany Zhao Sheng. Before leaving, he took a particularly aggrieved look at the unfinished meat in his bowl.


    The last dish was the cucumber to the liver. Zhao Ning helped him burn the fire, and Zhong Ziqi was in charge of cooking. Zhao Ning sniffed the smell and grumbled in his stomach: "Ziqi, you...are you really going to live with Zhao Zhengan?"


    Zhong Ziqi had a meal with cooking hands, and said without changing her face: "Otherwise, I''m already married to him, so I won''t spend time with him." Even the closest people can''t say something, not to mention Zhao Ning. He is not yet familiar with his personality, and he can''t say anything amazing to avoid spreading it out.


    Zhao Ning said anxiously: "But he is a fool and can''t work. You live on three mu of land? You can''t get much food."


    "Actually, life is very good now. I don¡¯t need to be squeezed out by Uncle Dabom at Zhong¡¯s family, and I¡¯m separated from Zhao¡¯s family, and Zhao¡¯s family can¡¯t come to make trouble. This is the only good day after my parents pass away. I will also think of ways to make money. You also know that good people like me are hard to come by." Zhong Ziqi said something serious, but it''s not that it never happened.


    Of course, Zhao Ning also knows that a brother who has no father and no mother and relatives dislikes it is fine if he marries to a good family. If he marries to someone like the Zhao family, the mother-in-law will look down on the call of being a cow and a horse, and will not be full. Fan, because they know that even if you are wronged, you can''t run away and have nowhere to go.


    In fact, there is a living example in the village. It is also a family surnamed Zhao. One of his elders, Eminem, died early. Dad married a stepmother. It was so bad and bad for him. Later, he married out and didn¡¯t even have a dowry. So I suffered all the grievances and tortures in my parents¡¯ house, and finally couldn¡¯t bear it. I was taken off by my in-law¡¯s family, and my brother was stunned by the divorce. It¡¯s wrong, but it¡¯s still not acceptable to the world.


    And good people will never marry a divorced brother. This brother''s family disliked him as shame, did not let him in, and said that the water thrown out by the man whom this brother married had nothing to do with the family.


    But after all, most of the people in Zhaojia Village are connected to relatives. The village head can¡¯t turn a blind eye to this homeless and helpless brother. Finally, he lent him money to build a hut in the village. This brother This is how I settled down, usually alone, embroidering an embroidery and weaving a frame at home to earn a small amount of money, turning a blind eye to the foul language outside.


    Zhao Ning also knew that it was too late to say anything, but he was just embarrassing his friends. Zhong Ziqi put the food well, and shook his head to know that he was also doing good for himself: "Don''t worry, this life is like drinking water and knowing it is warm and cold. You think my life is not good, but I think I am also good now. What do I want to eat? , I want to do what I want to do, my family is in charge."


    "Puff." Zhao Ning''s little sorrow was rushed away by Zhong Ziqi''s strange remarks, but he had to admit that his words made sense. No wonder Amu let himself and Ziqi learn, and this indifferent mentality was also his It''s not as good as that.


    In the evening, a delicious dinner was opened. Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t eat much. He had a small appetite. He didn¡¯t have any special feelings after eating his own meals for so many years, but the other three didn¡¯t think so much. Zhao Ning wanted very much. It was a waste to criticize Ziqi for not putting so much oil in cooking, but he couldn''t open his mouth at this time, especially the three people with spicy slices of spicy meat who breathed in straight but did not dare to stop the chopsticks for fear of being robbed. Zhao Zhengan doesn''t look at people stupidly robbing things and not falling behind. What''s more, this is his home, and this is his wife''s work, so it is more of a matter of course.


    Zhao Sheng was relatively shy at first, but he quickly abandoned this unnecessary emotion and joined the silent battle. Zhong Ziqi ate a lot at noon, and now he is not too hungry and eats slowly, but he is quite satisfied watching the three people eat deliciously. This is a common problem as a chef, and I hope that his dishes can be recognized by everyone.


    But soon Zhong Ziqi had to gulp up, because Zhao Zhengan, who was sitting next to him, did not forget to put a chopstick on him while he was eating by himself. Zhong Ziqi felt warm when he looked at the sharp dishes. Zhao Zhengan''s hands will be added: "Okay, you can eat yourself, these are enough."


    Only then did Zhao Zhengan stop eating his own meal intently.


    Zhao Ning was a little surprised to see this scene: "Ziqi, this Zhao Zhengan is good to you. I thought I was stupid and didn''t know anything." Zhao Ning was reminded by Ziqi not to be a fool, but to call awkwardly. Daimyo.


    When Zhao Zhengan heard him mention his name, he patted his chest proudly: "My wife." I don''t know if he really understood it.


    "puff"


    "puff"


    Two snorting laughs sounded at the same time.


    Zhong Ziqi looked helplessly at the two men who were covering their mouths and laughing. Actually, they are not to blame, but Zhao Zhengan''s appearance is really funny at this time. His small face is like a small cat, with a piece of oil stains on his face. There was still a bone in his mouth, and he was moved to his right cheek when he was talking. He bulged and wanted to poke, but he had to show a very proud look, which made people laugh.


    After dinner, the four of them sat lazily on the chairs, and Zhao Ning hiccuped and said contentedly: "Ziqi, when did your cooking become so good? I don''t know."


    Zhong Ziqi said with a look of sadness, "I taught me when Eminem reborn, but he hasn''t used it all the time. You don''t know or blame it."

 Chapter 8: Into the mountains

    After a meal, Zhao Sheng has faded away from the initial unfamiliarity. He knocked on his brother''s head and said, "You, you can cook in the fryer, and you can''t do anything. He usually learns with Brother Qi, but what about when he comes to her husband''s house? I won¡¯t suffer."


    Zhao Ning was exposed by his brother Laodi pretending to be angrily: "Sister-in-law is the best in my heart. I know that my brother has to stand aside."


    Zhao Sheng scratched his head embarrassedly.


    Zhong Ziqi watched the two bickering interestingly, and from time to time he also interjected, while Zhao Zhengan had already dozed off on the stool.


    It was getting late. Taking advantage of the lingering light of the summer night, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng went back home. Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi brought a large bowl of vegetables to Zhao Ning and asked him to take it back to Uncle Ama to eat. Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng didn''t take over, but Zhong Ziqi forced it to them and said: "This is not for you, this is for uncle and Ah Ma, your refusal is invalid, so leave quickly."


    But Zhong Ziqi finally had to go home with Zhao Ning holding a big bowl. The Zhao family and Zhao Amu were having dinner with Zhao Baogen. They had dinner in the countryside late in summer, so they could do more work. Seeing that my brother came back with a bowl, he couldn''t help wondering: "Aren''t you going to pack and bring it back after eating?"


    Zhao Sheng scratched his head and was embarrassed: "Brother Qi must bring it back for you to taste."


    Zhao Ning put the bowl on the table and opened it, and the scent smelled immediately: "Em, Daddy, try it. Ziqi''s craftsmanship is superb. My brother and I are still holding the food."


    Zhao Amu shook his head and said, "It''s not promising." But he still had a chopstick with Zhao Baogen and tasted it. As the brother said, he couldn''t keep up with this craftsmanship who has been cooking for many years.


    The taciturn Zhao Baogen also rarely praised: "It''s delicious, and there is a lot of oil."


    Zhao Amu nodded and said: "No, Brother Qi is still too young to save, but I didn''t expect to have such a hand."


    ¡­


    Zhong Ziqi tidyed up the bowls and chopsticks before waking up Zhao Zhengan, who was asleep, and wrung a wet towel to wipe his greasy face clean. Zhao Zhengan was confused and messed with Zhong Ziqi, and wiped his face. Zhong Ziqi helped him. Get up: "Get up, let''s go to bed to sleep."


    "Oh" Zhao Zhengan answered in a daze, walking crookedly to the bedroom.


    "Take off your clothes and go to bed." Zhong Ziqi hurriedly stopped when Zhao Zhengan was about to fall down like this.


    "Oh." Zhao Zhengan closed his eyes and began to tugging at his clothes. He felt like a drunk and couldn''t find the buttons.


    Zhong Ziqi sighed dumbly and helped him unbutton his clothes. Zhao Zhengan closed his eyes and smiled silly, and muttered: "My wife is really nice." Then he fell asleep.


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help rolling his eyes, and he didn''t care about him. He went to the kitchen to boil some hot water. Because he was too tired, he didn''t plan to take a shower. He wiped his body and fell asleep.


    The next day, I ate the leftover dishes from last night in the morning, and it was fragrant even overnight. After having dinner, Zhong Ziqi found that there was really nothing to do at home, so she wanted to go to the field to see and see what was separated at the time. In fact, he also wanted to go up the mountain to see if there was any way to make money, but he was not familiar with the road on the mountain, so he had to ask an acquaintance to take it with him.


    The three acres of land that belonged to them were considered middle-to-lower fields, and the grains of rice were not as full as those of the first-class fields. Zhong Ziqi looked at it and didn''t say anything. He didn''t expect to make a fortune from farming. The three acres of land were enough for them to eat, and he would buy the land when he had money.


    When I went home after reading it, I just saw Zhao Ning wandering in front of his house: "Isn''t it hot? What are you doing here?"


    Zhao Ning raised his hand: "Give you a bowl. By the way, Eminem brought you a few eggs." Sure enough, there were about seven or eight eggs in the two bowls.


    "Egg, chicken." Zhao Zhengan saw the egg''s eyes glowing. He knew that the egg was laid by a chicken and it was delicious, although he had only eaten it once.


    Zhong Ziqi said with a straight face, "What are you doing with this? We don''t need food, it''s better to keep the money to sell." He knows the situation of Zhao Ning''s family and it is not a wealthy family. Zhao Sheng will get married soon. This is another expense. There are five or six young hens in the family who usually lay eggs and go to the county to sell them. He brought him so many, which shows that Zhao Ama is a good heart, but he has the kindness.


    "Oh, don''t you and my mother-in-law, please accept it quickly. If you don''t accept it, you will look down on me. Do you still consider me a friend?" Zhao Ning pretended to be angry.


    "This... okay" Zhong Ziqi had no choice but to accept it.


    Open the door and enter the house.


    "Why did you two go?" Zhao Ning asked curiously.


    "Go to see the land, by the way, Xiaoning, I want to go up the mountain to see, are you familiar with the mountains?" Zhong Ziqi said.


    "Familiarity, I often go into the mountains with my brother, you forgot to tell you to go and you didn''t go, saying you don''t let me."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled embarrassedly, with no impression in her mind: "Then you take me into the mountain to see?"


    "Okay, I''m familiar with this mountain, as long as you don''t go deep, it doesn''t matter. If you don''t worry, I will call my brother."


    Zhong Ziqi waved his hand: "I don''t want to ask Brother Sheng to go up the mountain. I want Brother Sheng to help me look at Zhengan. After all, we have no time to go up the mountain to take care of him." He doesn''t know the situation in the mountain and doesn''t want to take Zhao Zhengan rashly. Going up the mountain, but it should be no problem to see Zhao Ning''s well-thought-out appearance. I remember that I saw a single brother going up the mountain not long ago.


    "Okay, there is nothing left or right, let my brother come to help and watch, when are you going" Zhao Ning asked.


    "How about having dinner at noon?"


    "Okay, you have the final say, I will go back and tell my brother."


    Zhong Ziqi actually has an idea. Qingshui Town is a small town next to a canal. Merchant ships often pass by here for rest and supply. Therefore, the two piers in the north and south of Qingshui Town are very lively and there are many vendors.


    Zhong Ziqi made this idea. He wanted to sell some food on the dock. With his unique craftsmanship, he believed that he could definitely make money, but he had to plan and plan well in this early preparation.


    After having dinner at noon, Zhong Ziqi calmed down the noisy Zhao Zhengan for a while, and then gratefully said to Zhao Sheng, "Brother Sheng is troublesome."


    Zhao Sheng scratched his head and waved his hands: "It''s nothing, you go, be careful, don''t go far."


    The two of them went up the mountain with confidence.


    If this mountain can''t be seen from a distance, after entering, you will find dense jungle, strange rocks, and endless mountains in the depths. It is said that no one has entered there and does not know where it leads, but everyone knows that it is dangerous. All the large beasts are concentrated there and thrive, so the villagers here dare to go up the mountain with confidence, even if they encounter the most The ferocious beasts are just wild boars, or little wolf cubs who ran out by mistake.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning were carrying a basket on their backs, walking in the jungle one after another. Zhong Ziqi looked around and felt very strange. In his previous life, his hometown was biased towards the plains, and the most he saw were the grasslands, where he had seen mountains, let alone such jungles, which really opened his eyes.


    After entering the mountain for a while, he saw many modern high-priced items, such as: pecans, hairy chestnuts, apples, wild grapes, bayberry, etc. In modern times, wanting to eat fruits every day is a big deal for ordinary people. The cost of food can be seen everywhere here, and you can eat it whenever you want.


    However, it is precisely these things that can be seen everywhere, so they have become worthless things. If anyone is greedy, they will go up the mountain and pick some back.


    In addition to these, there are also many bamboo shoots and mushrooms in the mountains, as well as black fungus. Zhong Ziqi happily picked off a large piece, and turned his head to meet Zhao Ning''s weird gaze.


    "Um...what''s the matter?" Zhong Ziqi asked puzzledly.


    "Ziqi, what are you doing picking it?"


    "Eat!"


    Zhao Ning''s expression became even more weird: "Ziqi, have you forgotten that someone in the village had eaten before. It was hard and unpalatable, and had trouble with it for many days?"


    "Uh..." Zhong Ziqi scratched her head speechlessly, eating fungus like this would only show one thing, the way of eating is incorrect. He blinked his eyes and thought about how to deal with the past: "Xiaoning, I saw in the book later that this thing is called fungus. It needs to be softened with water before eating, otherwise it will be as hard as you said." Zhong Ziqi It is not a lie, the original owner in the memory is literate, and he is rare among the brothers.


    Zhao Ning still looked suspiciously at a large pile of dark things, and said uneasy: "Be careful, then, we don''t lack this food, or just forget it." He also knew that Zhong Ziqi was able to hyphenate. , Uncle Zhong hugged him to teach him calligraphy when he was young. There are many books in his room, and he can read them smoothly, which makes many brothers envious.


    "An, nothing will happen, trust me." Zhong Ziqi turned his hand and threw the fungus into the basket, and continued searching. He never let go of fresh mushrooms occasionally, and of course there are bamboo shoots. Both he and Zhao Ning dug a lot. Anyway, there are many bamboo shoots in the mountain. If he sets up a stall, he can use it.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning had been around the mountain for a long time, and there were more and more things in their backs, and finally they had to go home.


    In the mountains and his party, Zhong Ziqi had many ideas in his mind and thought of many ways to make money, all of which were related to food. It''s not to blame him. He studied economics at university and didn''t like this major himself. He only followed after the person he liked enrolled in this major. Even if he works later, it is closely related to this industry, but it is useless to put this thing here. He himself seems to be a decent cooking skill except for one hand. It seems that there is really nothing that can be done. Modern society does have it. Many practical things can be amazing here, but the premise is that he can, and the premise is that the resources and conditions are available, otherwise everything is forbidden.


    In the evening, when he returned home, Zhong Ziqi wanted to keep Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng for dinner, but the two of them said nothing to stay and left in a hurry. Zhong Ziqi shook his head helplessly, knowing that they were afraid of increasing their burden.


    Since he came back, Zhao Zhengan has been walking around him, shouting from time to time: "Daughter-in-law." Zhong Ziqi doesn''t care about him, letting him stick to him like a brown candy, in his opinion between him and Zhao Zhengan A weak trust should have been established. This trust is not the kind of trust that Zhao Zhengan does what he usually says, but the kind of trust that he will wholeheartedly trust that he will come back sooner or later even if the person is not around. That kind of trust.


    Although this kind of trust is still very weak, from the last time Zhao Zhengan was waiting for his return with red eyes until today, apart from being irritable, he has no other actions. It can be seen that there has been a big change. This is what he wants to see. Yes, it¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to take him and let him stick to him, but he can¡¯t keep from any unexpected situations. When the two can¡¯t be together, he has to let him learn to calm down, but this matter has to be made gradually. It can''t be done in one go.

 Chapter 9: pier

    In the evening, Zhong Ziqi took the bamboo shoots he brought back today and made a pork heart fried bamboo shoots. The taste was not bad. Zhao Zhengan ate it again without surprise. Zhong Ziqi was afraid that he would accumulate food and let him walk around in the yard, so he brushed the dishes and chopsticks, and burned a large pot of hot water. After a whole afternoon of walking, the sweat on his body was so strong that he couldn''t stand it.


    Maybe it''s also because of the weak body, I always sweat.


    There is a big bathtub in the kitchen. Zhong Ziqi poured the water in. Seeing that the water temperature was just right, he took off his clothes and sat in, sighing comfortably. After a few days of busyness, he wiped his body casually. Today, he can finally come in and soak in. Up. With his head on the tub, he felt as if he had forgotten something, what did he forget?


    "Daughter-in-law?" Zhao Zhengan returned to the house after eating and found that he did not see his wife. He looked for him again, the kitchen door was hidden, and the sound of water could be heard vaguely. He opened the door happily, revealing the wife''s nakedness. In the outer white Huahua''s shoulders and back.


    When Zhong Ziqi heard Zhao Zhengan¡¯s shout, he suddenly remembered what he had forgotten. He forgot about Zhao Zhengan. He turned his head and waved his hand: "Zhengan, go to the house and wait for me first, and go back when I finish taking a shower. ."


    Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhengan, who was originally very obedient, was unhappy this time. He walked over and squatted in front of Zhong Ziqi and smiled silly: "Don''t go back, here." His eyes stared like two little stars.


    Zhong Ziqi persuaded him not to move, and simply handed him a towel: "Then you wipe my back." With a carefree look, he completely forgot that he is a brother. Of course, even if he thinks of it, according to Zhong Ziqi''s personality, he will definitely say calmly: " We are both men, and he has what I have, and what I am afraid of, besides, he is a fool again."


    Zhao Zhengan took a towel and walked behind him according to his wife¡¯s instructions. He didn¡¯t know why he was a little thirsty. He gently wiped it on his white back, for fear that someone might destroy the beauty in front of him. Zhao Zhengan felt that something was wrong. Why does the kitchen feel so hot!


    After wiping it for a while, Zhong Ziqi had enough soaking, and he planned to get up, but Zhao Zhengan was still stuck here in a daze, even if he was a big-hearted person, he was a little embarrassed: "You wait for me outside the door," I''ll be out right away."


    "Oh." Zhao Zhengan walked out the door obediently this time. He only feels that the kitchen is so hot now that he wants to go out to cool off.


    Zhong Ziqi got dressed, changed the water and asked Zhao Zhengan to take a bath before going to bed.


    Maybe it was irritated. Zhao Zhengan¡¯s dreams all night were full of white flowers, the white flowers¡¯ daughter-in-law, he couldn¡¯t help but hug and then...there would be nothing, he was awakened by the oil lamp. The light saw the wife''s expressionless face, which was scary.


    Zhong Ziqi is surrounded by low air pressure. When anyone is sleeping soundly, can someone hold him and rub and touch him without getting angry? When he opened his eyes, he found that Zhao Zhengan was holding his arms tightly from behind, and something from his lower body was rubbing against his p~p. He suddenly got up, and when he turned around, he found that the boy was still sleeping soundly with his eyes closed and his mouth Also kept shouting the word "daughter-in-law".


    He pushed Zhao Zhengan hard and finally woke him up. He stared at this guy so coldly without saying a word. After all, Zhao Zhengan is not of sound mind. If he is not a fool, he would definitely rush to hug him. Zhong Ziqi asked him what''s wrong, but he was a fool. Under the cold stare of his wife, he shrank his neck in fear, and the parts he hadn''t noticed became soft.


    He didn''t pay attention to it doesn''t mean Zhong Ziqi didn''t pay attention. He saw that the culprit lowered his head and he took back his air-conditioning satisfactorily: "Sleep."


    "Oh" Zhao Zhengan was ignorant, did not figure out what was going on, and Yiyan lay down. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard the daughter-in-law''s cold voice: "Don''t touch me with your hand, sleep inside." Zhao Zhengan retracted his paw and moved aggrievedly to the back.


    Zhong Ziqi closed his eyes when he saw that he was obedient, wondering in his heart, why do others still have this function if they are stupid? (Naked discrimination!) But fortunately, he didn¡¯t notice. Otherwise, would he have to teach him what to do... Thinking of the scene Zhong Ziqi trembled, and secretly decided to do it again in this situation (coldly), anyway Don''t let him notice, what if you become addicted.


    With thoughts tumbling, Zhong Ziqi couldn''t resist the sleepiness and fell asleep slowly. Before going to bed, she still wondered whether she should cruelly separate the bed to sleep?


    However, the next day Zhong Ziqi woke up and found that Zhao Zhengan''s heart was softened when he was sleeping in the bed, with thick lips pouted slightly, with a trace of grievance, his body of more than 1.7 meters bowed into a small ball. Now, Zhong Ziqi knows that this is a typical insecurity. He sighed. This guy can always make himself soft after angering him.


    The summer morning is still relatively cool, Zhong Ziqi washes up with cold water, and then starts to make breakfast.


    When Zhao Zhengan walked into the kitchen yawning and looking for the fragrance, what caught his eye was the baked golden pies, and the rich aroma came to his face. Zhao Zhengan was driven away from sleep, leaving his saliva and rubbed behind Zhong Ziqi. He whispered: "Daughter-in-law." He still remembered the inexplicable anger of his daughter-in-law last night, and he didn''t know how to calm down.


    In fact, Zhong Ziqi had been so busy all morning that he had forgotten about it. He saw Zhao Zhengan''s flattering expression and said: "First go to wash your face and brush your teeth, I''ll get the burn right away."


    "Oh." Zhao Zhengan left obediently, thinking happily, his wife didn''t seem to be angry anymore.


    Zhong Ziqi''s baked vegetable pie was thinly filled, and his lips and teeth were fragrant when he ate it. He baked a total of six pie, and he ate two by himself, and the remaining four went into Zhao Zhengan''s stomach. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help thinking in a daze. It seems that he should cook more in the future. Who knows that there is a big stomach king in the family.


    After eating, Zhong Ziqi dried the mushrooms and fungus brought back yesterday in the courtyard, peeled the bamboo shoots and cut them one by one, fried them with hot water, sealed them, and waited two or three days to become sour bamboo shoots.


    After doing this, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan sat in a daze in a shady place. Zhong Ziqi was immersed in his thoughts, while Zhao Zhengan watched him in a daze. Zhong Ziqi thought that if he went to the stall to sell food, he could sell some hot food in the morning. Yes, after all, the temperature in the morning is still a bit low, and some relatively cool food can be sold at noon. He already has prototypes of these two foods, but he doesn¡¯t know where to get some of the utensils used in the stall. If there is no rent, it takes time to find a carpenter, not to mention the salary is a lot, it is not as suitable as renting.


    Gee! It seems that I have to go to the town again. The stall must be opened as soon as possible. The rice noodles at home must be eaten quickly. Before the only five hundred yuan left on the body is spent, it is imperative to take care of everything quickly.


    Since he was planning to enter the town, it was better to hit the sun if he chose another day. Zhong Ziqi ate lunch ahead of time and hurried to town with Zhao Zhengan.


    Walking to the town non-stop, Zhong Ziqi thought for a while and decided to open the stall at the South Pier. In fact, there is no difference between the North and South Piers, it''s just Zhong Ziqi''s personal preference.


    The wharf is easy to find, and I walked straight all the way, and it was there in ten minutes, and many vendors were shouting there.


    "Seafood, seafood just out of the sea."


    "Sell buns, big stuffed buns!"


    "Delicious marinated noodles!"


    "..."


    It was noon, many stalls were full of guests, and some stalls had only a few people scattered. Some of these people were obviously out-of-towners and some were locals.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at it for a long time and found that although there were many vendors, they were worse than he had imagined. After thinking about it, he knew the crux of the matter.


    There are more monks, less porridge, and excellence. The eight words are very suitable for the current situation. Although there are many businessmen, they are not so many that all the stalls can be filled. Moreover, the food industry is also very competitive. Today you can make a lot of money with complacency. Tomorrow, maybe you will pack up and go home in tears, because there are more competitors who are more skilled than you.


    Zhong Ziqi pretended to inquire about these small vendors and got the news he wanted, so he took Zhao Zhengan to a slightly dilapidated courtyard.


    As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a small wooden cart for stalls standing in the corner with two pots on it. Behind the wooden cart is a detachable table and stool.


    "Is anyone home?" Zhong Ziqi knocked on the door and shouted.


    "Hey, where is it, who?" A voice came from the room, and soon a forty-year-old old man with wrinkles all over his eyes came out, looked at them suspiciously and asked: "Are you? "


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and asked: "Is it Huang Ah?"


    Huang Ahma nodded: "Yes, I am."


    "Hello, Huang Ah, my name is Zhong Ziqi, this is my husband, Zhao Zhengan, and it is like this. I found out at the pier that your family used to set up a stall there, but it suddenly stopped. I want to ask today. Now, is the stroller of Huang Ama''s still used? Can you rent it to us if you don''t use it?" Zhong Ziqi explained.


    "Oh, this way, you come in first, I have to ask our family about this, I will let him come and talk to you." Huang Ama let the two into the courtyard, and then shouted to a room: "Old Huang, Old Huang? Come out, there are guests at home."


    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù


    [Zhao Zhengan outside]


    Zhao Zhengan has been in an unstable environment since he became stupid. Don¡¯t look at him as stupid. As Zhong Ziqi said, he thinks like a seven or eight-year-old child, so the surrounding ridicule, insults, parental disgust, beating, and squeezing him out In fact, I can feel it, but I can''t express it.


    Occasionally, he would play with the children in the village. These children were very happy when the big brother suddenly appeared but played with them like children, but not all children are willing to play with Zhao Zhengan. Some children will tease him and scold him when they know he is a fool.


    Of course, some children won''t mind these, and play with him happily.


    But Zhao Zhengan doesn¡¯t have much time to play with them. He spends most of his time helping the family. In order to make Daddy Emine happy, it may be counterproductive. I don¡¯t know when, the children playing with him will be with each other. He said, he said that his father Amu wanted to drive him out, and some would say to marry him a wife and drive him out together.


    He asked with some confusion: "What does the daughter-in-law do?"


    The child replied: "The daughter-in-law lives together and sleeps like Ada Mu."


    "I will cook and wash your clothes."


    Although Zhao Zhengan was ignorant, he firmly remembered that his wife seemed to be a better and closer person than Ada Mu. He was looking forward to it and was afraid that his wife would despise herself as a fool like others, even though he did not understand. What is the fool.

 Chapter 10: ready

    The door of the room was opened with a creak, and a sturdy, dark-skinned man walked out of it, dirty, holding a knife in one hand and a wooden shovel in the other, with sawdust stained on his shirt. Let people see what he was doing just now.


    "What''s the matter? Who are these two?" Uncle Huang looked at the two extra people who had suddenly appeared and asked about his family.


    Huang Ama told him about Zhong Ziqi.


    Uncle Huang is very easy to say: "If you want to rent, you can rent. It just depends on your age. Let me tell you the truth. It is difficult to do business on the pier. Unless you are good at craftsmanship, you will be crowded out sooner or later. , Isn¡¯t this the one in our family. This thing was made for him at the beginning, but his craftsmanship was mediocre, and finally had to...So you guys, if you don¡¯t have a great craftsmanship, I¡¯ll forget it, and be careful to lose money."


    Huang Ama nodded sadly thinking of his own experience.


    Zhong Ziqi was surprised. He didn''t expect to meet two people with good hearts. He smiled gently: "Don''t tell me that we are a couple who have just separated from each other. Seeing that there is no income at home, we have to The one who made the idea here, Jiamu taught me cooking when he was alive, so I am a little proficient. We can also hear the kindness of Uncle Huang and Ama Huang, but if we don¡¯t do some of these things, we will There is definitely no hope, but if you do, there is a ray of hope. Are you right?"


    Uncle Huang was surprised that a brother could say such a thing, and he couldn''t help but look sideways at the kid who had been silently standing behind his brother.


    Zhong Ziqi also saw his doubts, and took Zhao Zhengan''s hand to his side and said with a wry smile: "Presumably the two are also very confused? Why am I talking all the time? Actually, my husband is hurt here and there are some problems. "Zhong Ziqi pointed to her head.


    "This-no wonder. Poor, it''s not easy for you to be a brother." Huang Ama said pityingly.


    "Hey, since that''s the case, we don''t have to say anything. You can pay a price for the rent." Uncle Huang shook his head and said. The two of them are not around. Seeing these two children is like seeing his children.


    In this way, Zhong Ziqi rented the trolley at a cheap price of eight cents a day. The note stated that if something is delayed, it will be counted as half a day for less than half a day, and it will be counted as a day for less than a day. Pick up the car in the morning and come back. When I settled the rent, the eight cents of rent was really super cheap, and the Zhong Ziqi at the back was completely convinced that it was the two who saw them poorly that allowed them to settle the money after finishing the work.


    After finishing the important things, Zhong Ziqi relaxed a lot, pulling Zhao Zhengan around on the street, and Zhao Zhengan gradually returned to his former vigor.


    Zhong Ziqi felt distressed for his well-being, and stopped by a seller of candied haws, bought a bunch of candied haws for two cents and handed it to Zhao Zhengan: "Eat."


    Zhao Zhengan happily took it, looking left and right, reluctant to eat.


    Zhong Ziqi looked funny: "Hurry up, eat it, it will be all in a while."


    Zhao Zhengan passed the candied haws to his mouth after hearing the words: "Daughter-in-law eat it."


    Zhong Ziqi was taken aback. Then she smiled, opened her mouth and ate one: "You eat it, I don''t like it."


    Zhao Zhengan looked at his wife and took the first bite before he took the second bite contentedly.


    In addition to this incident when Zhong Ziqi entered the town this time, he also wanted to buy back all the necessary seasonings and missing ingredients. If everything is ready tomorrow, he wants to officially start business the day after tomorrow.


    After buying the condiments from the condiment shop, Zhong Ziqi and the two went straight to the butcher stall. They didn¡¯t expect the butcher stall owner to have a good memory. He greeted him enthusiastically, ¡°This husband, you are here again, how about? How about my meat? Absolutely fresh!"


    Zhong Ziqi saw that this person was good, and she might want to buy it frequently in the future, she opened her mouth and praised: "Yes, boss, your meat is really good, don''t you think I came back to buy it again."


    The boss of the meat stall exclaimed, "What do you want this time?" Zhong Ziqi pointed at the pile of bones beside the meat: "If you want it, you can give me five pounds."


    "Good." The butcher''s owner wrapped the bones quickly. There are not a few people who like to chew bones and drink bone soup these days, so he is not surprised.


    After paying, Zhong Ziqi strolled around again, and finally went to the shop where he sold rice noodles last time. He remembers seeing Mifensi here last time because he needs to be tough and thin enough to make cold noodles. But obviously this world is not there yet, so after a few laps, Zhong Ziqi can only retreat to buy rice minsi. Although the taste is a little worse, the slickness is not bad. After buying the rice noodles, I bought some noodles. Zhong Ziqi also bought a large clay pot over her knees and some bowls and chopsticks. The bowls and chopsticks were sent to Uncle Huang¡¯s house, so you won¡¯t have to bother to carry them back and forth in the future. Take it home for soup.


    No matter what happened, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan went back to Zhaojiacun.


    When it was still early when he got home, Zhong Ziqi took out one of the bones he bought, cleaned and cut it, and boiled the soup in the pot. After boiled for more than two hours, Zhong Ziqi and the noodles made the noodles and boiled them in the boiled bone broth. After a while, a fragrance wafted out.


    After cooking for more than ten minutes, Zhong Ziqi took the noodles out of the pot and served them to the table. The smoothness and tenderness of the noodles and the fragrance of the bone broth all tempted people to taste it, and then taste it again.


    Zhong Ziqi watched Zhao Zhengan eat the Xili and sweated profusely, thinking that if some sour bamboo shoots were added, it would definitely be more delicious. That''s right, he will make this sour bamboo shoots and big bone soup noodles the morning after tomorrow, while the cold noodles and silky noodles will be made at noon. I believe that this unique taste is enough to attract many people.


    After eating, the sun on the horizon has gone down, but the afterglow still illuminates the distant earth.


    Zhong Ziqi was thinking about things thoughtfully while squatting with Zhao Zhengan in the yard to pull the weeds. Suddenly he thought of a serious problem. Although he could finish the bone soup and bring it over, but how to bring water, it is impossible to bring it from home. The water used for the cold noodles must be cold water from the well. Then he won¡¯t have time to fetch water when he arrives at the pier. Uncle Huang is not far from the dock, but who is going to fetch water? Neither he nor Zhao Zhengan can leave alone, so here comes the question!


    Zhong Ziqi sighed helplessly. It''s not easy to do anything.


    "Daughter-in-law, don''t frown, are you unhappy?" Zhao Zhengan stretched out his hand and rubbed Zhong Ziqi''s squeezed eyebrows, regardless of whether his hands were dirty.


    Zhong Ziqi was uncomfortable by the sudden touch on her eyebrows and got goose bumps all over her body. He patted Zhao Zhengan''s hand without thinking, and said, "I''m not unhappy, just thinking about things."


    "What are you thinking about?" Zhao Zhengan asked innocently, clutching his painful paw. At this time, he was completely free from the restraints of the previous two days, and slowly returned to the childlike heartlessness.


    "I was thinking-after the day after tomorrow, Zhengan and I will go to town to sell things, okay?"


    "Sell things?" Zhao Zhengan asked tilted his head, "Is it like the one I met today?"


    Zhong Ziqi was stunned and immediately understood that he was talking about the scene encountered by the dock. He nodded: "Yes, that''s it, Zhengan, would you like to go with me?"


    Zhao Zhengan looked at Zhong Ziqi without blinking his eyes: "Go wherever your wife is in Zhengan."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled.


    After having dinner the next morning, Zhong Ziqi took Zhao Zhengan to Zhao Ning''s house. At this time, in addition to Zhao Baogen, who went to work in the Zhao family, and Zhao Sheng who went to the field, only Zhao Ning and Zhao Amo were left at home.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and greeted Zhao Amu: "Zhao A, are you busy?"


    "Brother Qi is here, come in quickly." Zhao Ama was cleaning the dust in the yard at this time. When he saw them coming, he put down his broom and went into the house to talk to them.


    Zhao Ning poured two large bowls of water and brought them to Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan. Then he sat and asked, "Ziqi, why are you here?" Zhao Amu was also very confused. Ever since Zhong Ziqi married Zhao Zhengan, he always came here. If you don''t enter the door, I will take Zhao Zhengan today to estimate what should happen.


    Zhong Ziqi organized a few words and said: "That''s it, Zhao Ah, I''m going to set up a stall at the pier to sell some food."


    "Huh?" Zhao Ning was the first to exclaim, "Ziqi, you¡ªyou want to do business?"


    Zhao Ama also frowned: "Brother Qi, can this work? Not to mention whether it will make money, you are a brother who went out to show his face, not to mention the rumors in the village, even if you encounter any trouble, you can''t handle it. Ah, Zhao Zhengan can''t protect you."


    Zhao Zhengan immediately quit after hearing this sentence: "I can, I can protect my wife." After speaking, he looked at Zhong Ziqi for verification.


    Zhong Ziqi touched his head comfortably: "Yes, Zhengan can protect me. I believe in Zhengan."


    Zhao Zhengan sat back with satisfaction and continued to be a wooden man.


    It was the first time that Zhao Ama saw the two people''s ways of getting along, and couldn''t help but have some differences. Seeing that Brother Qi looked very patient and gentle, and didn''t have any impatience. It seems that what Xiao Ning said last time was true.


    "Zhao, I also know these risks, but you see, our family now has three acres of land, it is not mature yet, and there is not much left in the family¡¯s usual money to buy some daily necessities, and neither of us can go out to fight. Part-time job, if you don''t have a profit at home, you have to wait and die. It''s better to try, and I believe my craftsmanship is still good, what do you think?" Zhong Ziqi said.


    Zhao Ning nodded and thought of the last delicious meal: "Ziqi, your cooking is really delicious."


    After all, Zhao Amu is an outsider who is not good to intervene, so he had to say: "Then-since you have decided on Brother Qi, then I won''t say anything. If you are missing, tell me what you are missing, so I can definitely help. Will help you."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and said: "That''s it, Zhao A, does Brother Sheng have a place to do odd jobs now?"


    Zhao Amu unexpectedly asked him this way. He was ready to borrow money. He didn''t think he didn''t mention it: "No, there is no such thing as odd jobs now."


    "Then Zhao Ama, let Brother Sheng help me. I''ll give him ten cents a day, what do you think?"


    Zhao Amu was really surprised: "Brother Qi, you haven''t started doing it yet. It''s not certain whether you will make money or not. What a joke!"


    Zhao Ning also nodded, staring at him with a hatred of iron and steel.


    Zhao Amo thought for a while and said, "You don''t need to give money anymore, just let Brother Sheng help you. There is nothing to do with him, just let him go out to learn more, he is too bored."


    Zhong Ziqi opened her mouth to say something, but Zhao Ama waved her hand and swallowed it back.


    Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Ama to tell Zhao Sheng to come to him before dawn tomorrow morning. Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi borrowed the handcart from Zhao Ama''s house by the way.


    When he got home, Zhong Ziqi took out the sour bamboo shoots and smelled it. The sourness was already there. I believe it will be more pure after another night.


    You don¡¯t need a lot of things to make hot noodle soup, while cold noodles are the opposite. Fresh vegetables such as cucumbers and persimmons are needed not to mention all kinds of seasonings. There was no vegetable garden at home, so Zhong Ziqi had to go to Zhao¡¯s vegetable garden to pick vegetables. He picked more than 20 cucumbers and dozens of persimmons.


    Zhong Ziqi felt that it should be enough, and if she took it off again, it would be hard to guarantee that Wang Cuihua would not be anxious with him. He plans to see how the market is first. If it''s good, he can buy in the village, but the premise is that he won''t lose money.

 Chapter 11: Open

    After a busy day, in the evening, Zhong Ziqi took out the big bones he bought to make the soup, boiled it and poured it into the bought clay pot, and put it in the pot when it was too late, and it will be served tomorrow morning.


    At night, the moon quietly crawled over the treetops, and the silver-white brilliance enveloped the earth, looking hazy and ambiguous.


    Zhong Ziqi was lying in bed with insomnia, Zhao Zhengan had already drooled while holding him to sleep. For the first time Zhong Ziqi envied simple-minded people without having to think about so many annoying things. He had to admit that he was nervous, and he was afraid that he would fail tomorrow.


    In fact, Zhong Ziqi has calculated this account. He has already thought about it carefully. The prices on the wharf are generally a little bit more expensive, but they are definitely fine products and worth the price. In fact, everyone can still accept it. In fact, the ordinary noodle stalls A bowl of noodles still costs three cents, not to mention a dock with a much stronger craftsmanship than ordinary noodle stalls.


    Zhong Ziqi intends to price his two kinds of noodles at a bowl of Wuwenqian. It is not uncommon for a bowl of noodles with Wuwenqian to be at the wharf, and some are even higher than this. Who calls the wharf is a prime location. People are wealthy or wealthy foreign businessmen. Although ordinary people can afford to eat, people who save money don''t come here often.


    If you are skilled enough, then you will develop a fixed source of customers, then your daily income will be fixed, not to mention some of them even eat and take home to buy. Zhong Ziqi feels that according to his craft, ten bowls of noodles can always be sold a day, right? Ten bowls of noodles and fifty cents, minus the daily rent and eight cents, Zhao Sheng¡¯s salary is ten cents, and miscellaneous costs. Twenty cents will definitely be earned. You must know that you don¡¯t have 20 cents a day. Less, he can buy four catties of rice noodles, and he can cut a few catties of meat.


    Generally, people don¡¯t have the ability to make 20 cents a day. Of course, they have fields to go out to do odd jobs, but for Zhong Ziqi, he is already very satisfied. He has no big pursuits. A little thing is enough for him to be happy for a long time. .


    Zhong Ziqi, who tossed over and over again, didn''t know when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, she heard the **** of the **** in the village, and the sky was already grayish outside.


    Zhong Ziqi gently removed the arm from the waist, got up vigorously, put on clothes, and washed. I lighted the oil lamp and went to the kitchen to put the bone soup that had been left overnight in a clay pot, leaving some in the pot. Open the noodle bag and scoop out two bowls of noodles and roll the noodles. Then burn the fire, wait until the bone soup is hot, put the noodles in the pot, Zhong Ziqi put some sour bamboo shoots in by the way, and it will be out of the pot in a while.


    Zhong Ziqi put the noodles on the table, set the tableware, and went to the bedroom, watching Zhao Zhengan who was sleeping soundly. He hesitated or pushed his arm, and whispered: "Zhengan, Zhengan, wake up."


    Zhao Zhengan reluctantly opened his eyes to see who was disturbing his dream. What caught his eye was the neatly dressed-daughter-in-law! Zhao Zhengan''s squinted eyes immediately widened.


    Zhong Ziqi said: "Get up, we are going to town after dinner."


    Zhao Zhengan then remembered that his wife said he was going to take him to the town to sell things. He sat up excitedly and asked in confirmation: "Daughter-in-law, are we going to sell things?"


    "Yeah, so Zhengan has to get up early, otherwise we will be late."


    Hearing this, Zhao Zhengan immediately put on clothes in a hurry: "I will get up soon."


    Zhong Ziqi said softly, "Slow down, the buttons are all wrong."


    When the two of them were sitting at the dinner table eating the incense, the door was knocked, and the sound was not loud, as if they were knocking tentatively.


    Zhong Ziqi ran over and opened the door. It was Zhao Sheng: "Brother Sheng, you are here, huh? How come Xiaoning is also here?" Zhao Ning behind Zhao Sheng quietly outcropped and smiled at Zhong Ziqi, "I and I Eminem said to help you, I agree with Eminem."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and let the two in: "Then the relationship is good, I can relax. By the way, have you two eaten? Eat some here."


    Zhao Ning shook his head and sniffed and said, "It smells so good, I smelled it when I was in front of the door."


    "It¡¯s not as good as it¡¯s a coincidence. I just cooked the hot noodle soup. Just try it." The three of them entered the room. Zhao Zhengan was still eating. Zhong Ziqi went to the kitchen and took two pairs of bowls and chopsticks to serve the noodles. Pass it to two people.


    This is the first time for the two of them to eat. They suddenly felt that it was different from the bone noodle soup they used to eat in town. It was very fresh, especially with a hint of sour fragrance. Zhao Ning took out a bamboo shoot from a bowl and ate it in his mouth. His eyes lit up, but he didn''t expect the sour taste to come from it. He asked in amazement: "Why are these bamboo shoots sour? Have they been soaked in vinegar?" You should know that although they often eat bamboo shoots, except for stir-frying. There is no other way to eat it.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled mysteriously: "I made this deliberately. It''s not soaked in vinegar. How is it delicious? Do you think I will make money by selling it?"


    "I think Brother Qi''s cooking is much better than the town''s." Zhao Sheng said while eating.


    "Yeah, you will definitely make money. I believe in your craft." Zhao Ning said slurredly. He was completely conquered and deeply felt that the decision to help today was too correct.


    After the hot noodles were eaten, everyone was sweating. Zhao Sheng tied the big pottery pot for soup to the cart and fixed it. He also packed the cucumbers, persimmons, and some bottles and jars of seasoning, and there was a big one. Bundled the wood, the four of them walked toward the town mightily.


    The trolley was heavy. Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhengan took turns to push the trolley. The one-hour road was a lot longer. Fortunately, they went out early in the morning. When they arrived at the pier, the sky was only slightly bright, but there were already diligent people. The stall started.


    The four Zhong Ziqi walked around a corner to Uncle Huang''s house.


    "Boom boom" Zhong Ziqi knocked on the door.


    After a while, I heard Huang Ama''s voice: "It''s Brother Qi, right?"


    "Ah Huang is me."


    Huang Ama draped her clothes and opened the door: "Yes, it''s early, let me tell you, if it''s late, it''s easy to be missed."


    "Well, did I know Huang Ah." Zhong Ziqi replied.


    "Are these few people?" Huang Amei asked the extra two.


    "These are my two best friends, come and help. He called Zhao Sheng and this is his younger brother Zhao Ning." After finishing talking, Zhong Ziqi introduced them to the two again: "Is this Huang Ah."


    Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ning yelled Huang Aye politely.


    Everyone likes good children, not to mention Huang. Seeing a few half-year-old children, they can''t close their mouths and laugh, but I feel a little sad and don''t know how his son is doing.


    Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhengan pushed the wooden cart to the pier with ease, occupying a somewhat remote position with few stalls around. Other vendors who were already busy looked at the suddenly appearing stall with a dull expression. When they saw four young young people, they had even more contempt in their eyes. They didn''t care about this competitor at all. They would definitely disappear in no time. .


    Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t care about this. Most of the things were brought here. There were still a few wooden tables left. He asked Zhao Ning to stay here and watch. He, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhengan went back to move, mainly because this place was not far from Huang A¡¯ma¡¯s home. , Two or three minutes away, so I can rest assured that he is here alone.


    Zhong Ziqi used to mainly talk to Huang Ama about fetching water. He didn''t expect that as soon as he spoke, Huang Ama agreed: "You can hit as many times as you want. I open the door and you come."


    Zhong Ziqi is naturally grateful again.


    Going back to the dock, the task of fetching water will naturally be given to Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhengan. He and Zhao Ning began to get busy, bringing a total of five tables, one of which was left for kneading and stuffing, and the other four were placed in a square shape, which could seat a total of sixteen people.


    The summer day dawned very quickly, and it was completely bright in a short while. There were people coming and going on the dock, except for the vendors, Zhong Ziqi noticed that other customers had begun to haunt.


    Zhong Ziqi hurriedly set Zhao Ning on fire, hot bone soup, and he began to make noodles. Zhao Ning''s culinary skills are not good, so he can''t help with cooking, but he can strike a hand, burn a fire, and pass a seasoning or something.


    "This little brother, new here?"


    Zhong Ziqi''s stall was always empty. He thought that there was no one. It turned out that the stall owner was late.


    "Yeah, it opened for the first time today, and I asked my uncle to take care of it." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile.


    The stall owner was a man in his 30s and 40s, and there was a piece of gray rags on his stall, which was crookedly written, big stuffed buns. Zhong Ziqi snorted and laughed: "Uncle, who wrote these words? They are pretty good-looking." This is absolutely wrong.


    However, the uncle obviously didn''t hear it, and said proudly: "My son wrote that he is only 8 years old this year. I was sent to school to study. My husband praised him for being smart."


    "Don''t say it, just by looking at these words, you can tell that your kid is smart. It''s not like what a kid wrote."


    When this uncle heard Zhong Ziqi''s words, it was as if he had found a bosom friend, and he kept nagging.


    Zhong Ziqi chatted with this uncle while doing the things at hand. Zhao Ning smiled and inserted a sentence from time to time. From what he said, he learned that the uncle''s surname was Song and he lived in Songjia Village, which was quite far away from Zhaojia Village. He is the only person who speaks to Zhong Ziqi, and there is no discriminatory taste in his words.


    After getting acquainted with each other, the uncle simply leaned the stall against him, and talked to him when he was okay. Zhong Ziqi was also happily happy. The one on his left was a pastry seller, but he was a young man who was far away from them. He was ignored by others, and the stall was moved a little farther for fear of the taste.


    Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhengan took two buckets of water and sat on the stool to rest. Looking around, many stalls are full of steam and fragrance, and there are already several customers sitting at the tables.


    At this time the sun was already showing its head, and the whole pier was no longer silent in the morning and began to lively. There are several restaurants on the pier. Foreign businessmen who live in the restaurants rarely eat in the restaurants. Locals know that the food on the pier is better and cheaper than the restaurants.


    However, Zhong Ziqi''s stall was a newcomer and no one noticed. Zhong Ziqi calmly lifted the lid of the pot, put the noodles in the pot, and threw in some bamboo shoots. Instructed Zhao Ning who was on fire to go to rest, he put the cooked noodles in four bowls, and put three of them on the table: "Eat more, eat less in the morning." Zhong Ziqi made less in the morning, he I neglected and forgot to take Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng''s share. Of course, everyone was not full, and the three of them were hungry all morning. They are not welcome at this moment, they picked it up and snored and ate them.

 Chapter 12: Make money

    The owner of the steamed bun stall swallowed quietly. He didn''t eat breakfast early in the morning, and the steamed buns in the steamer were not good. Zhong Ziqi''s noodles were so "smell and scent" that he seduced him with a groan in his stomach. He turned around in embarrassment and did not look at them, his eyes fixed on the steamer hoping that it would heal faster, but how could the scent get more and more fragrant?


    He turned around suspiciously, and what caught his eye was a bowl of hot noodles. The owner of the noodles was looking at him with a smile: "Uncle Song, you also **** noodles to see if it tastes good."


    Uncle Song touched his nose embarrassedly: "It''s not easy for your brother to set up a stall. How can I take advantage of you? You can eat it yourself."


    "Just a bowl of noodles is not worth much. Besides, I will have to rely on Uncle Song to take care of my small stall in the future." When it comes to this, Uncle Song is not hypocritical. He took the bowl and thanked him and followed. After eating it with big mouthfuls, the taste is as good as expected, it is hard to think that this was made by a half-year-old child.


    When Zhong Ziqi returned to the stall, he looked around and saw that someone had noticed this scented stall. No matter what they were hesitating, he cleared his throat and learned how the vendors around him yelled: "Big bone soup noodles, fragrant! Don''t taste good. Money, don''t miss it when you pass by!"


    "Puff, cough!" Zhao Ning spouted out, coughing lightly, and looked at Zhong Ziqi with incredible eyes. Even Zhao Sheng looked at him in astonishment. Only Zhao Zhengan didn''t notice what was wrong. He heard the yelling of his wife. Interestingly, he stopped his chopsticks and yelled, "Big bone noodle soup, fragrant! No good! You don''t need money to eat, don''t miss it when you pass by." After shouting, his narrow eyes looked at Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi habitually praised: "Zhengan shouted well, then shout a few more." Zhao Zhengan got his wife''s instructions and shouted again and again.


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng saw that someone was looking here and walking towards this side. Suddenly, they had an epiphany in their minds. They had to let go when they should let go of face and things. Without shouting, who knows who is who!


    "Boss, bring me a bowl of noodles." A man in his thirties, wearing short clothes, said while sitting at Zhong Ziqi''s booth, looking at the three Zhao Zhengan who were eating the noodles at the same time, the smell was really long.


    "Okay, wait a minute." Zhong Ziqi blinked at the three of them: See if this business is coming?


    Zhao Ning got up to help set the fire, and said in a low voice, "Ziqi, great!"


    Zhong Ziqi smiled, his heart was also very excited, but this was his first business, and it was finally opened. It would be shameful to keep on being so cold.


    Zhong Ziqi stirred the noodles briskly in her hands, and when she felt it was almost done, she put it in a big bowl and brought it to the man''s table: "Your noodles, five cents."


    This guy first tasted a bite, not to mention that it was much more delicious than the noodles on other noodle stalls. It also had the fragrance of bamboo shoots, especially the bamboo shoots were a little bit sour. He couldn''t help asking suspiciously, "Boss, you Isn''t this bamboo shoot bad? Why is it sour?"


    Zhong Ziqi said with a smile: "Look at what you said, I can still eat it if it breaks. This is my unique way. I am sorry for not telling me, but you can rest assured that my friends will eat it again. poisonous."


    The big man means to express his surprise. He himself works on the dock, unloads goods and other things, does some handyman, and he knows where the food is delicious all the year round. For example, there are two on the dock. The more famous noodle stall, the business is also very hot in the morning. It is still a little away from Zhong Ziqi¡¯s stall. He often eats there. Today, when he was planning to eat a bite in the past, he suddenly heard a clear shout. The old man Amazhong was particularly conspicuous. He looked for a voice and saw a brother who was about the same age as his kid in charge of the cook. There were three children of the same age on the stall, one of whom was still in charge. When he kept shouting, Poe sat over with interest and asked for a bowl of noodles. He didn''t expect that the taste was even better than those of the two. The big man didn''t hesitate to take out five cents and handed it to Zhong Ziqi, and he started to eat it.


    Zhong Ziqi put on a pad of copper plates and happily blossomed: "You eat slowly, call us if you have something to do."


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng were also very happy that the stall had its first income. Zhao Sheng simply broke the jar and shouted with Zhao Zhengan. One after another, people came over to eat noodles looking for sounds, especially Dahan is a frequent visitor at the wharf. Many people know him. When they see him eating at this humble stall, they can¡¯t help but come over to taste it. Of course, they eat. The eyes will be bright and ask for the second bowl. Some people didn''t believe it at all when they saw that the stall was a few children. Zhong Ziqi didn''t have time to take care of these things. At this time, he was busy, and there were five or six people sitting in the stall. He sent the noodles to Zhao Ning and collected the money by the way.


    In this way, Zhong Ziqi already sold more than ten bowls of noodles early in the morning. This amount is not a small amount for some old stalls. Zhong Ziqi is already very content, and this has completely exceeded his budget, even with the buns next to him. The stall also has a lot of business, and Uncle Song is happier than him.


    The weather in summer is hot, only cool in the morning. When the temperature rises at 8 or 9 o''clock in the morning, Zhong Ziqi¡¯s noodle stall can no longer welcome a person. Many people around him are gloating at him. Summer Selling cooked food is inherently difficult, and things like steamed buns are edible when they are cold, but when the noodles are cold, they will condense into a lump. So it can be sold in the morning, and even the two old noodle stalls at the pier have to change their food when they are hot.


    Zhong Ziqi felt that the hot noodle soup was no longer worthwhile, so she asked Zhao Ning to help tidy up the stall, and directed Zhao Zhengan and Zhao Sheng to fetch water.


    "Brother Qi, are you going back?" Uncle Song asked. In his opinion, it is good to be able to sell more than 50 yuan early in the morning, just like he can sell a bun in one day. One hundred and eighty writings are still when business is good.


    "It''s still early, I''m going to change the food and sell it." Zhong Ziqi said gently, taking out a cloth bag and soaking the rice shreds in cold water for a while.


    Uncle Song was silent. He was quite surprised. He didn''t expect a young man to know a lot, better than him in business. He didn''t know this when he first came, and now even if he knows it, he is powerless. , He really knows nothing about this as a man.


    Zhong Ziqi brushed the pot clean, poured clean water into it, and brought it to a boil. At this time, Zhao Sheng and the others had already shot the water back, Zhong Ziqi hurriedly instructed them to put the water in a cool place and close the lid by the way.


    "Xiao Ning, you learn from me. If there are too many people, you can help me." Zhong Ziqi said, turning his head, he is quite confident in cold noodles.


    Zhao Ning was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "I¡ªI¡¯ll just forget it." He said that was a little lacking in confidence. He still has nothing to learn here, and it¡¯s not a complicated thing, and Zhong Ziqi himself Did not carry him. It''s just that he was embarrassed to learn other people''s money-making crafts in such an open manner. Thanks to them being good friends, if there is a crooked mind, they can open a new door after they have learned the craft.


    "Hey, what''s the matter, you have helped me so much, what else do I distrust you, if I can do business, I have to rely on you often." Besides, Zhong Ziqi didn''t say something, such as The business has been really good. He wants Zhao Ning to do it with him. He teaches him hand art so that he can also open one. He is a wise man. The Zhao family has helped him so much. Of course, he has to repay him very much. Besides, he doesn''t care about these little crafts. He still has many recipes that don''t exist in this world. If he does enough of this, he can completely change it.


    Zhao Ning was very happy to hear what Zhong Ziqi said. It shows that Ziqi really regards him as a friend. He thought there was a rift between the two of them.


    The water in the pot quickly boiled, Zhong Ziqi put the rice shreds into the pot and boiled it slightly, then picked it up and placed it in the prepared bowl with cold water in it.


    "This rice shreds can''t be cooked for too long, it will be broken after a long time. Soak it in cold water after it is cooked, so that it will be tough." Zhong Ziqi explained the points of attention to Zhao Ning carefully.


    Zhao Ning nodded, expressing understanding.


    Next, Zhong Ziqi seasoned, raised her hand and took a large bowl again, added a small spoonful of sugar, vinegar, appropriate amount of soy sauce, and sesame oil, and finally added a little salt, scooped out a large bowl of cold water, poured it into the bowl and stirred it. , Avoid the water in the cold noodles, put the cold noodles in the prepared soup, cut the washed saffron and put it in, then cut the cucumber into silk and put it in. The cold noodles are made.


    "The seasoning can be adjusted according to personal taste. For example, some people like to eat sweet, and some like to eat sour, so you can add more appropriately. Okay, the cold noodles are ready. You can try it."


    Zhao Ning happily took the bowl and ran to the table to take the first bite. It was really cool and refreshing, sweet and sour, with the crispness of cucumber. After taking a big mouthful, he gave the two people who looked at him reluctantly.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t make a bowl for the three of them this time, because Mifensi is still relatively expensive, so he made a bowl and let them try it first, by the way, he advertised for the guests.


    "Cold noodles, icy cold noodles, eat a bowl of soothe and hearty!" Zhao Zhengan and Zhao Sheng shouted again according to the rhetoric taught to him by Zhong Ziqi.


    This will be the time when hot people feel uncomfortable, and it is getting hotter and hotter. Not to mention the pedestrians, they are all hot and uncomfortable. Zhong Ziqi¡¯s cold noodles undoubtedly attracted everyone¡¯s attention. Others were also surprised. The two kinds of food that this brother first came to sell were very strange. The first one was okay, but I heard that the bamboo shoots in it were sour. Yes, but this cold noodles looks like they are unfamiliar, but they say it is cool and delicious.


    Someone couldn''t stand the heat and just sat at Zhong Ziqi''s booth: "Boss, give me a bowl and let me try if it is like you said."


    "Okay, wait a minute." Zhong Ziqi quickly made a bowl and served it up, still receiving five cents.


    The man''s eyes lit up immediately after taking the first bite.


    "Hi, brother, how is it? Is it delicious?" asked while watching the excitement.


    "It''s delicious, it''s as cool as the water that I just squeezed out of my well, and it''s sour and sweet. The boss will give me another bowl."


    In this era, I haven''t asked for this. When I heard someone applauded, those who were greedy couldn''t help but cried out one after another. In this way, Zhong Ziqi''s business was completely opened. Just accepting the money, he felt soft. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning did it together in one pot, and Zhao Sheng was responsible for collecting the money. Zhao Zhengan stood in front of the stall and shouted when he saw nothing about himself.


    Zhong Ziqi¡¯s stall has only four tables, and some people have no place to sit. They either squat to eat or go to the stall next to Uncle Song to sit and eat. Uncle Song is not unhappy. On the contrary, he is still very happy because some When others eat cold noodles, they will buy a few steamed buns before leaving.

 Chapter 13: Close the stall

    In this way, Zhong Ziqi''s stall was on fire. By the way, Uncle Song''s stall was also brought up. He was brought up not only to the stall, but also to the stalls around Zhong Ziqi that were close to him. The business made dozens of dollars more than in the past.


    After noon, Zhong Ziqi had to close the stall. It''s not that he didn''t want to continue, but that the supply of ingredients was in short supply. During the period, Zhao Sheng went out several times, went to the grain store to buy two rice mince, and then went to Huang Ah''s house to buy two. This vegetable has not been served yet. Many people like to eat the cucumbers and persimmons that are soaked in ice, so they don''t hesitate to add more money to let Zhong Ziqi put more. But Huang Ama¡¯s vegetables are grown in normal quantities enough for the two of them. If they buy too much, they don¡¯t have much left. Zhong Ziqi thinks this is not the way, so let¡¯s stop here today.


    In just a long time there were customers coming here. I was very frustrated when Zhong Ziqi closed the stall. Zhong Ziqi told everyone in good words: ¡°I¡¯m here today. Today is the first time for a few of us to set up a stall. I like it so much, so I don¡¯t have enough ingredients. I will definitely bring more tomorrow to ensure that everyone has enough to eat?"


    "Well, for you, I must eat two more bowls tomorrow." Someone shouted.


    Zhong Ziqi laughed and responded: "Then let''s say this uncle, I can remember you." A refreshing person can refute people''s favors everywhere, especially a white and tender little brother.


    Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi left a bowl of cold noodles for Uncle Song next door, and thanked him: "Thank you Uncle Song today, I''m troubled you."


    Uncle Song has long been greedy, and he doesn''t refuse at this moment: "Hey, I have to thank you for saying this. I have made a lot more today than usual."


    "Then the relationship is better, you may have to trouble Uncle Song in the future."


    "It''s good to do this every day."


    Some of Zhong Ziqi¡¯s stalls are happy and some regret it. Those who are happy are naturally those who also sell cold products. Today, almost half of the customers have been snatched away by the newcomer Zhong Ziqi. Now, the source of customers has slowly recovered as soon as they left. It''s a pity that the stalls around Zhong Ziqi were brought up, but today''s results have made them happy from ear to ear.


    These Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t know. Zhao Sheng helped push the wooden cart into Huang A¡¯ma¡¯s house. Huang A¡¯ma knew that Zhong Ziqi¡¯s business was on fire. They were close to the dock and knew that there was a bit of trouble, not to mention Zhao Sheng¡¯s purchase of cucumbers. At that time, I also brought them a bowl by the way, and in the end even he, who has been cooking for many years, had to sigh and admire him.


    "Huang Ah, this is ten cents. You accept today''s rent. I''ll trouble you." Zhong Ziqi handed over ten copper plates.


    Huang Ama frowned: "Why are there two more articles? Didn''t we decide the eight articles?"


    "Look, we are both fetching water and buying vegetables. The threshold is almost broken by us. I am embarrassed not to give me more." Zhong Ziqi said sincerely.


    "It''s not easy for you to make money. Besides, you gave me money for buying vegetables. I can''t collect the money." Huang Ama refused. He was not the one who saw money openly, he pityed the child in his heart. Don''t want to take advantage of this child.


    Zhong Ziqi forcefully stuffed ten copper coins into Huang Ama''s hands: "You can accept it. I made a lot today. How dare you trouble you if you don''t accept me."


    "Accept it, Huang Ah." Zhao Ning also said, with a joyful smile on his face.


    "This¡ªokay. Then I''ll take it, you kid." Huang Ama smiled and shook his head, full of liking, but it''s a pity that he''s already married, otherwise...


    Zhong Ziqi left all the white noodle seasoning and other things that could be left behind. He trusted Huang Ama and Uncle Huang as human beings, only a wheelbarrow and a big crock need to be pushed back. Before I went back, I went to the rice store to buy more than 20 kilograms of rice mince, and bought some more noodles, and all of them were sent to Huang Ama''s house.


    I went to the meat stall to buy a few catties of big bones and three catties of pork belly. On the way back, Zhong Ziqi said beamingly: "Go straight to my house and I will make some good food for you."


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng did not refuse. They also wanted to celebrate and express their joy.


    All the way back to Zhaojia Village, I encountered other villagers who asked them in doubt: "Where did you go? Why did you push a big pot?"


    "It''s nothing, I just went to the town to sell some soup, soup, water and water." Zhong Ziqi didn''t intend to conceal it. Sooner or later, this matter would not be covered, and he had to buy cucumbers and persimmons from the villagers, let alone hide it.


    "Oh, brother Qi is amazing, how much money did you sell?" Someone sneered, no one believed what money a half-old brother could make, how could the town''s business be so good. In fact, people in the village don¡¯t think they usually go to the town, but there are really people who can work in the town to make money. It is very enviable. The common people of their status are very despised, and a careless person may also provoke. People with status. Just like Zhao Zhengan used to work in the town, it was a pity that so many people became silly now, and some of them are more ridicule and gloat.


    But envy belongs to envy, and the heart of jealousy has never been less. Seeing that other people''s homes are better than their own, some people will spare no effort to slander. For example, Zhong Ziqi¡¯s business affairs spread throughout Zhao¡¯s village in a short time. People who understand things will shake their heads and sigh. They think it¡¯s not easy for Zhong Ziqi to be a brother. People who are jealous of watching the bustle will not be so virtuous. Women and even more outrageous hookers and other unpleasant things were said.


    When Zhong Ziqi arrived home, he didn''t rush to cook. First, he took out the bulging purse in his arms and poured the copper coins inside on the table. Four people sitting on one side of the table, their eyes all shining, Zhong Ziqi, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng are definitely the joy of making money, and Zhao Zhengan is definitely happy to see them and he is also happy.


    Zhong Ziqi counted the number, a total of two hundred and seventy-five cents, which means that about fifty bowls were sold today, which is more than the ten bowls he expected. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help but turn up at this time. Laughing at the corners of his mouth, he counted out thirty cents and gave Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ning 15 cents each. The two helped him for most of the day, especially Zhao Ning, thanks to his help in cooking the noodles, otherwise he could handle it alone. No, this is what the two deserve.


    "This...this is too much." Zhao Sheng was surprised and hurriedly pushed back. Even his father''s wages for a day''s work outside were only seven or eight. This was so much more than his father earned. He How dare to ask.


    "Didn''t I say that I''ll help you in vain." Zhao Ning said dissatisfied, he didn''t plan to ask for money at all, he said before he left, earning money is not the purpose, the main thing is to meet Ziqi to meet the world Learn something to behave in the world.


    "This is what you two deserve. Originally we said it was okay. Brother Sheng came to help me with ten cents a day. Thanks to both of you today, otherwise Zhengan and I must be too busy. Ten cents were the original ten cents. Let¡¯s say it¡¯s okay, these five more articles count as my boss¡¯s reward for you, don¡¯t accept it, or my boss will fire you all when he gets angry." Zhong Ziqi blinked mischievously.


    Zhao Ning was amused. After thinking about it, he accepted it. He couldn''t persuade Ziqi every time he made a decision. He didn''t bother to speak, but in the future, he must help Ziqi work more. Zhao Sheng saw that his brother had accepted it, and he was embarrassed to accept it.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded in satisfaction.


    "Daughter-in-law, I''m hungry." Zhao Zhengan''s hoarse voice sounded.


    As soon as Zhong Ziqi heard his voice, he remembered that he had ignored him, and hurriedly went over and asked him: "Does your throat hurt? Blame me, I forgot you so busy." He didn''t notice that Zhao Zhengan was always there. He shouted, after a long time, his voice became hoarse, and to be honest, he was a little distressed.


    "It doesn''t hurt." Zhao Zhengan shook his head cleverly.


    How can Zhong Ziqi believe his words? He has also experienced something like this. When he gave a speech at the company, he had dry mouth and sore throat after just over two hours, let alone Zhao Zhengan shouted all morning, He patted his head and said distressedly: "You, Brother Sheng and Xiaoning are waiting for me here, I''ll go cook." After finishing this sentence, Zhong Ziqi thought about it and wanted to add: "Zhengan is great today. I helped. I''m quite busy."


    Sure enough, Zhao Zhengan looked a little more energetic when he heard this, and put on the silly smile of the past.


    "Let me help you." Zhao Ning stood up and said.


    "No, I''ll be quick, the three of you will rest here." Zhong Ziqi waved his hand and went to the kitchen alone.


    He remembered that he picked up many pears when he went into the mountain last time. Washed, peeled off the skin, boiled some water in the pot, put the pears in the pot and sprinkled some sugar before boiling, and boiled for two or three minutes to serve. Divide into three bowls and take them into the room: "Drink some pear water first to moisturize your throat."


    "Pear water?" Zhao Ning looked at the steaming bowl: "Boiled? Can it be delicious?"


    "It doesn''t matter whether it tastes good or not, it''s mainly for good throat, listen to me, and drink it coolly." Zhong Ziqi persuaded.


    "Hey, you feel sorry for your Zhao Zhengan, right? As soon as I heard that my throat hurts, I hurried to get it." Zhao Ningno scorned. Because he and Zhao Sheng didn''t use their throats at all, there was no problem of throat discomfort.


    Zhong Ziqi straightened her eyebrows and glared at Zhao Ning''s forehead: "What are you talking about, don''t drink it, let it be Zhao Zhengan."


    Zhao Sheng hurriedly guarded his bowl, but he didn''t say anything and couldn''t anger.


    Zhao Ning also flattered and smiled: "I''m wrong, look at my stinky mouth, this is definitely what Ziqi loves us to do, so let''s go to work right away."


    Zhong Ziqi was satisfied, and before leaving, he asked Zhao Zhengan: "Don''t get hot, you know?"


    "I see, wife." Zhao Zhengan nodded obediently.


    Only then did Zhong Ziqi leave, and his ears were full of red in a place where no one noticed.


    Zhong Ziqi frowned and was dissatisfied with the strange emotions she had appeared, shook her head and drove out, and started cooking. It was still half rice and half brown rice washed and cooked. In front of outsiders, he could not eat white rice so lavishly. He would be called a prodigal, you must know the village Chinese people can eat white rice unless they are wealthy. Ordinary people eat brown rice. White rice can only be eaten during the holidays.


    The rice was cooked on the fire before he started cooking. Three catties of pork belly is enough for them to eat. Wash and cut most of the meat into slices, and the other half into chunks.


    The shiitake mushrooms that were collected in the yard last time have been dried, so he soaked them.


    Heat the oil in the pot, fry the pork belly slices over low heat. After the oil is forced out, add the shallots and garlic cloves, then add soy sauce, sugar, rice wine, refined salt, and then add water to submerge the meat. Simmer over medium heat. The name of this dish is Braised Pork. In fact, it is delicious if there is rock sugar with rock sugar, but there is no white sugar that can only be retreated. But it still smells very good. After a pause of thirty or forty minutes, the meat can be out of the pot.


    Now the mushrooms have been soaked, Zhong Ziqi removed the dirty part of the rhizomes, and put them aside with dry water. Pour some bone broth left in the morning in the pot, put in the sliced ??pork belly, put in the mushrooms, and then the seasoning, green onion, ginger, and star anise, then add soy sauce, rice wine, sugar and appropriate amount The water is simmered for a while.

 Chapter 14: Purchasing

    When the meal was almost done, Zhong Ziqi went to the vegetable garden of Wang Cuihua¡¯s home to pick a few cucumbers. Unexpectedly, he met Wang Cuihua. When he saw Zhong Ziqi, he said sarcastically, "Oh, brother Qi, you are not Have you made any money? I still need to eat my food and buy it myself."


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t expect the public opinion to spread very quickly. He glanced at Wang Cuihua and said slowly: "When we split up, I have said that I can eat the vegetables in this vegetable garden."


    "Have you planted it? You have to eat my vegetable and stop the garden if you haven''t planted it?" Wang Cuihua said with her arms akimbo. He doesn''t please his eyes. This person will live a good life after the separation.


    "If you have any comments, just ask the village chief to reason. I don''t have time to spend with you here." Zhong Ziqi glanced at him disdainfully. He really has no time to grow vegetables and no money to buy seeds. When the business stabilizes, he Planning the chores at home.


    Zhong Ziqi hurried away after picking the vegetables. Until he was far away, Zhong Ziqi could still hear what Wang Cuihua said about hooking up men and shameless people. He thought a little angrily. Those who speak ill of him behind their backs have the ability not to ask him.


    After returning home, Zhong Ziqi said nothing. She cut the cucumbers she picked and added salt, sesame oil, vinegar, coriander, and sugar to make a small cold dish. The pork with mushrooms stewed in the pot was just ready to be out of the pot, and he brought it to the hall table in the same way.


    "It smells so good." Zhao Ning moved his nose and ran to the kitchen to help. Bring the meal to the table and they will start the meal.


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng let go of their belly and ate, and they said vaguely, "It''s delicious."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled. He wanted to make spicy pork slices. All three of them can eat spicy slices. The spicy pork slices were not enough last time, but the spicy sliced ??pork is too irritating. Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ning are okay. Zhao Zhengan was sure that his throat would become inflamed after eating, so he simply cooked other dishes.


    Zhao Zhengan was hungry long ago. Even if he had a sore throat, he ate with big mouthfuls. Zhong Ziqi kept paying attention to him. Seeing him frowning, he hurriedly leaned over and asked: "Is my throat sore? Eat slowly. There is still in the kitchen. They grab it."


    Zhao Zhengan slowed down obediently, but his brows were still frowned.


    After eating, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng were going back after a short rest. Zhong Ziqi put Zhao Zhengan to sleep, got up and said, "I will go back with you. Didn¡¯t your family plant a lot of vegetables this year? Zhao Amu and I Talk about grocery shopping."


    "Oh, all right." Zhao Ning didn''t know anything about business and didn''t ask much.


    Zhao Ning¡¯s house, when Zhao Amu saw the three of them coming back, he said hurriedly, ¡°I¡¯m about to go to your place to have a look. You are back now, how is the business?¡±


    Zhong Ziqi and the three laughed, Zhao Ning couldn''t hide things, and chatted with Zhao Amu about the morning situation: "...We can''t sit down at the stall anymore, we still sit next door, there are still many people waiting when we leave. "


    Zhao Amu was also very happy when he heard it, but soon his expression was grave: "Brother Qi, earning money is a good thing, but this is not what I want to tell you. When you come back, do you tell others that you do business? What happened?"


    Zhong Ziqi heard what Zhao Ama said in her heart: "Yes, I can''t keep it from the left and right, so I just said it. Zhao A is what someone in the village said?"


    Zhao Ama sighed, and said with some worry: "It''s not what it is, now many people are talking about you-anyway, how ugly to say, hey, don''t care too much, it''s all jealous and small-minded people. It¡¯s not good to see others.¡± After a pause, Zhao Ama said, ¡°But you have to pay attention to it. It¡¯s always bad if you spread too much. What''s more, if you are making money now, what can you do if someone makes trouble.¡±


    Zhong Ziqi thinks about it, too. There are too many people who are thinking about it. He has to take precautions, not to mention that their family still lives in such a remote place. It is inconvenient to call people for anything. Zhao Ama reminded him. I realized how insecure his house was: "Zhao A, I want to raise the wall of my house, can you find two people for me?"


    Zhao Amo heard: "That''s right, your wall is too short. If someone gets in, you can turn over from the top of the wall. I''ll do this for you."


    "Well, Zhao Ame, does anyone in our village keep a dog? I want two larger nursing homes."


    Zhao Amo thought for a while and shook his head: "There are few people in the village who raise dogs, but there is a family in my natal family who raises a few dogs. I''ll help you ask."


    "That''s really troublesome for Zhao A. Actually, I came over today to discuss something with Zhao Ama." Zhong Ziqi touched his nose a little embarrassed. It was really troublesome for others, and he couldn''t get over it.


    "What''s the matter? You said."


    "That''s it. I need a lot of cucumbers and persimmons every day, so I want to buy some from you."


    "Okay, there are a lot of vegetable gardens in my home, and I can''t eat them, but buying them from my home is not enough?" Zhao Ama said.


    "Isn''t it enough, I don''t know if Zhao A would like to help me purchase, I will pay at two cents per catty, you help me to buy, I don''t care about the price, I will pay you every day after it is delivered, how about?" Zhong Ziqi puts the market in the market The price is clear, and the benefits of this will be clear as long as Zhao A is not stupid. He doesn''t mind taking advantage of some small gains, so he has to be helped by others, so he can''t help him in vain. He is also unwilling to owe others favors, trouble!


    Zhao Ama was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he was silent, his eyes flickered. He was also a shrewd person. He could think of the corners in the blink of an eye. The price of vegetables in the market is only three cents, and they may not be sold, especially this. It is the time when vegetables are ripe. Except for wealthy and wealthy people, ordinary people will not buy them. When buying them in the village, he can buy them at a slightly lower price. There are so many vegetables at this time, and many people can¡¯t eat them, or even rotten. They are now in the vegetable field, so they can make money without going out. They are not happy, and the remaining money can be earned by him. He does not speak nonsense and asks straightforwardly: "How many catties do you need every day?"


    Zhong Ziqi stretched out her palm: "Zhao Ama, first buy me 50 catties, 30 catties of cucumbers and 20 catties of persimmons. I will bring them to the dock tomorrow. I will order them according to the situation, but I think it will not be much less than this number. Some, so you give me 50 catties a day, more cucumbers and less persimmons."


    "That''s all right, I''ll get it for you now." Zhao Ama immediately couldn''t sit still when he heard so much. He wanted to see if he could pick so many of his gardens. Of course, good things should come first.


    Zhong Ziqi stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Zhao Ama is still impatient, that''s the case, Zhao Ama, the people you buy will go to those with better character first. It''s not okay to go to the village."


    Zhao Ama laughed, why didn''t he know what Zhong Ziqi''s idea was, and let the group of people break their mouths, and push the God of Fortune away: "Okay, listen to you, there are so many horrible ideas."


    When the matter is over, Zhong Ziqi will go home. Before leaving, tell Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng that tomorrow is still the time and go to him for breakfast.


    When Zhong Ziqi was gone, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng went to help Zhao Ama pick vegetables.


    "Em, today Ziqi gave me and my brother 15 cents each." Zhao Ning happily showed off that this was his first money, which was of great significance!


    How could Zhao A, someone who came here, didn''t know how much money was given, frowning and asked: "Why so much? How much does Ziqi earn in a day? He said that he would give more to Shiwen."


    "Ziqi earned two hundred and seventy essays today. Many people came to eat and they were too busy." Zhao Ning chatted with excitement to Zhao Ama about today''s details.


    Zhao Ama obviously didn¡¯t expect to earn so much money, no wonder he asked for so much food all at once. As expected, Brother Qi¡¯s child is still like his father, even his Eminem is also a shrewd one, and how could their child be a fool. Yes, I don¡¯t know if the Zhong family and the Zhao family will regret that they have done so absolutely.


    "Brother Qi is a great talent. Since you are willing to take you, you should follow him." Zhao Ama said with a serious expression, and didn''t realize what was wrong with letting the man in the family follow a little brother. He is a person who can look at people, and he only thinks that the current brother Qi is really extraordinary.


    Of course, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng would not refute, they were still very happy to follow Zhong Ziqi, especially Zhao Sheng only felt that it was not interesting to do business if they planted an acre of land at home. He didn''t know how much his thoughts changed at this time.


    Here, when he got home, Zhong Ziqi went into the bedroom to look at Zhao Zhengan, and found that he was asleep very well, and there was no sign of waking up. He tiptoed to the corner and carried the back basket on his body, and went out to lock the door to the mountain. Go.


    He planned to dig some more bamboo shoots. The sour bamboo shoots made last time were few, and it was used up in a day or two. Zhong Ziqi''s memory is still good. The last time she wandered around the mountain, she remembered which places she could go and which could not go, and there was no problem going there by herself.


    There are a lot of bamboo shoots on the mountain, this thing is still very heavy, most of Zhong Ziqi is struggling to memorize it. In addition to looking for bamboo shoots, he also needs some fungus. The fungus is also very delicious when placed in cold noodles.


    But fungus is not easy to find, it is not like mushrooms that can grow everywhere. After looking for some Zhong Ziqi, I don¡¯t plan to go deep. There are many fruit trees around. He picked a bunch of pecans, as well as pears, apples, and hurried down the mountain. He was afraid that Zhao Zhengan would not find him anxious when he woke up. At this time, Zhong Ziqi didn''t realize that she could no longer let Zhao Zhengan go anymore, and became more and more adaptable to the role of a nurse and a wife now.


    When he came home and opened the door, he didn''t hear any strange movement. Zhong Ziqi was relieved. Seeing that Zhao Zhengan hadn''t woken up yet, he knew that he was exhausted. Without waking him up, he sat in the yard and peeled the bamboo shoots one by one and cut them into small strips. After they were fried, they were sealed and placed in the corner.


    There were some fruits and fungus mushrooms left in the bamboo basket. Zhong Ziqi dried the mushrooms in the dustpan in the yard, and put the fungus aside with blisters. Seeing the remaining fruits, Zhong Ziqi planned to make some canned fruits to take tomorrow, and when Zhao Zhengan and the others were thirsty, they would eat some to moisturize their throats.


    The method of canned fruit is very simple. He has done it before. He is a stranger. Even that person said that he likes to eat snacks. Roadside stalls like unhygienic and unhealthy foods, but the delicacies of mountains and seas are not a favorite.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled when he heard this. He felt that the food on the roadside stalls only tasted like food, and that the delicacies of the mountains and seas were for him like a cow chewing peonies. So he can cook a lot of weird food, but if it is a tall dish, he will be frustrated. It is not that he can''t but he is not refined.

 Chapter 15: Eat walnuts

    Zhong Ziqi searched in the house and found a porcelain jar that was not much taller than a slap. It was chubby and light and cute. He carefully washed the porcelain pot with water and steamed it in the pot for a while for disinfection. The hot water in the pot was scooped out and placed in a clean basin to dry. Wash the apples and pears, peel and core them, cut them into small cubes, and put them in a porcelain jar. Sprinkle half a spoonful of sugar on each layer. Repeat this until the jar is almost full and the fruit is gone.


    Then pour the cold boiled water into the jar and spread over the fruit, then cover the lid and put it in the pot for steaming, about ten minutes or so, boil the pot and take it out, close the lid tightly and seal it all around to prevent gassing, and put it on The corner is shady.


    When Zhao Zhengan woke up, the sun on the horizon was already down. Rubbing his eyes, Zhao Zhengan didn''t find his wife in the house. He squatted his mouth and walked toward the kitchen while pulling his shoes, shouting: "Daughter-in-law? Wife-in-law?"


    "It''s the kitchen!" Zhong Ziqi replied loudly. He is burning the food right now. If he is full at noon, he is actually not too hungry.


    Zhao Zhengan found Zhong Ziqi''s signature smirk all the way: "Daughter-in-law."


    Otherwise, habit is a terrible thing. In just a few days, he has become accustomed to the word Zhao Zhengan''s unwilling daughter-in-law, Zhao Zhengan''s smirk, and even Zhao Zhengan''s existence. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help thinking in a daze. Today''s life seems to be peaceful, but underneath the calm is actually a pile of mess that makes people confused, but he has to bite the bullet and walk on.


    "Daughter-in-law?" Zhao Zhengan''s enlarged face appeared in front of Zhong Ziqi. Zhong Ziqi, who shook his mind, even found that this guy''s eyelashes were really curled up and placed on his handsome and mad face. It was surprisingly harmonious and very harmonious. ...Attractive?


    Zhong Ziqi''s throat moved back to his senses, and he stretched out his hand to push away the face that was close at hand, thinking stupidly, what did he think about? How could he find him attractive? There must be an illusion, he must be too tired, let''s rest early today.


    However, this idea of ??Zhong Ziqi was not realized in the end, because Zhao Zhengan was reluctant to go to bed after eating dinner, and pulled Zhong Ziqi to play with him.


    "Wash and sleep!" Zhong Ziqi said sternly.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him aggrievedly, and muttered, "But wife, I''m not sleepy, I want to play with you."


    "..." You are not sleepy, I am sleepy! But looking at Zhao Zhengan''s pitiful eyes, I couldn''t help feeling soft. He was very busy every day and didn''t have time to play with him, and didn''t worry about letting him go out. It must be really boring to stay in the small yard every day, right?


    Zhong Ziqi simply took two small benches and sat in the yard. He took the pecans he picked from the mountain in the afternoon, found a hard brick from the yard, smashed the walnuts, and then picked out the walnut meat inside and stuffed it into Zhao. Zhengan''s mouth.


    Zhengan chewed twice and felt it was delicious, then took Zhong Ziqi''s head and squatted there and slapped. After smashing it out, following Zhong Ziqi''s appearance, he took out the walnut meat and quickly stuffed it into Zhong Ziqi''s mouth. Zhong Ziqi was taken aback for a moment, then cocked her mouth to eat.


    On a summer night, the sky full of stars twinkled with brilliance. In that remote courtyard, a man squatted on the ground and smashed walnuts, and a man sat on a stool with his head in his hands, and looked sideways at the tall man next to him, his face soft and relaxed.


    Until the person sat there with his head bit by bit and fell asleep. The tall man who smashed the walnut stopped, tilted his head to look at the sleeping man, and reached out his hand to touch the man''s cheek. Then he straightened up very seriously, picked him up, walked into the bedroom and put it on the bed, and carefully took off his clothes. Then he took off his clothes and climbed into the bed, and looked at the man sideways. When he became serious, no one could tell that it was a mentally insufficient face.


    The next day, still at that time, Zhong Ziqi woke up from her sleep, shook her head, got up to wash, but always felt that something was wrong, but he didn''t have time to think about it, so he went into the kitchen.


    In the morning, he didn''t want to make anything too complicated, so he cut some minced meat and mixed cabbage to make pie. When they were about to burn, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng came. Zhong Ziqi opened the door and saw that they were carrying a sack of things. He quickly let in: "Is it a cucumber?"


    "Yes, it''s fifty catties in total, you weigh it." Zhao Sheng took the sack in and put it on the brick floor and said.


    "No, Zhao Ama, can I still believe it? Let''s let it go. I''ll cook. You guys wait for a while, Zhengan hasn''t woken up yet." Zhong Ziqi paused after saying this, and he just said it, he always Something was wrong. He remembered that he seemed to fall asleep on a stool outside last night, but finally woke up on the bed. He carried me in? I don''t feel it at all!


    "Ziqi? Ziqi?" Zhao Ning couldn''t help calling out twice when he saw Zhong Ziqi standing on the spot in a daze.


    "Ah? Ah...you go into the house, and I''ll be fine soon." Zhong Ziqi returned to his senses, feeling that there was nothing to entangle, and shrugged and hurried into the kitchen.


    In fact, Zhong Ziqi''s baked cakes are really unskilled, but they are golden and golden when they are baked, and they are wrapped in a layer of oil, which looks particularly appetizing.


    After making a good meal, Zhong Ziqi woke up Zhao Zhengan and cleaned up before sitting down to eat.


    "Ziqi, if you don''t sell noodles, you can still sell cakes. Depending on your craft, you can only make money but not lose money." Zhao Ning said admiringly. No worries, there are delicious food every day, and wages, so many people are envious.


    Unknowingly, the people whom Wenwen quietly needs his protection have grown to the point where he needs him to look up to be taken care of by him. Although Zhao Ning feels a little uncomfortable, he is still very happy. Who doesn''t like being taken care of? Who doesn''t like to have a better friend than yourself?


    After breakfast, a few people gathered up, took their things and set off. Zhong Ziqi''s arrival at the pier today is a little later than yesterday, after he set up his stall. Zhao Ning came over and asked, "Ziqi, have you noticed that there seem to be a lot more people around us."


    When Zhong Ziqi heard the words, he looked up and found that the stalls around him did indeed seem to be much more than yesterday. Even the pastry that had always looked down on him far away from him moved back to the stall and saw Zhong Ziqi looking over. , That Ah Ma still smiled at him. He immediately understood what was going on. He wanted to make money from his stall, but he didn¡¯t care, as long as he didn¡¯t damage him, he didn¡¯t care, and he didn¡¯t have the right to do so, where people would like to set up a stall. Just where it is, this dock is not owned by an individual.


    "Well, it''s okay, let''s just take care of our own." Zhong Ziqi said quietly.


    The hot noodle soup in the morning is still around ten bowls, most of which are acquaintances from yesterday. There are also many people who came rushing to the cold noodles, and they were very disappointed when they saw that he hadn''t sold them at all. They asked, "Is there no cold noodles today? Didn''t they say that there was one yesterday?"


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the newly emerging sun in the sky, the temperature was still a bit low, and it was not too cold to eat cold things in the morning. But it may also be because of his low firepower and intolerance to freezing. Since there is no reason for business to be extrapolated, I simply vacated a pot and said, "Xiaoning, you make cold noodles, and I make hot soup noodles." After that, he said kindly to those who were disappointed standing in front of the noodle stall: "For those of you who eat cold noodles, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."


    When Zhao Ning heard Zhong Ziqi''s words, he started to get busy, cold noodles are easy to make, and there is no technology to speak of, so Zhao Ning also does it in a different way.


    There was nothing short of this meeting, and Zhao Sheng simply helped them set the fire. Zhao Zhengan had nothing to do at the moment. He shouted too hard yesterday. Today, his voice is completely hoarse and his voice is hoarse and low. Zhong Ziqi sternly told him not to shout. Zhao Zhengan had to listen to his wife, but only to see that all three of them are okay. To do, he was so boring to be idle. Step by step, he moved closer to Zhong Ziqi and looked at him with bright eyes.


    Zhong Ziqi was staring uncomfortably, and when he saw that he was really bored, she taught him to collect money: "Zheng''an, when the noodles are ready, you can serve it, and then collect the money. A bowl of five cents is five copper plates. Remember? "


    Zhao Zhengan knows how to count, so he happily walked around the guests face-to-face when he heard his wife''s words. After putting it on the table, he said with a smile from his wife yesterday: "Five cents."


    Most people are happy to pay. There are a few people who like to grind or give money after eating. Zhao Zhengan stood next to him relentlessly and kept urging: "Five cents, you have to pay for noodles."


    The guest was annoyed and dumbfounded and said to Zhong Ziqi: "It''s not that I didn''t give the money, but I was urged."


    Zhong Ziqi was also a little impatient and funny in his heart, but he still said apologetically: "I''m sorry, everyone, it''s mainly my confession, everyone forgive me." To be honest, he still agrees with Zhao Zhengan''s approach. This group of guys eats. After paying the money, who knows if someone will fall back on the bill, the truth is that one hand pays the money and the other hand delivers.


    "Give left and right in the morning and late in the evening, keep it and you can''t lay eggs." someone said.


    This remark immediately caused the people in the booth to laugh. Those who didn''t give money gave money one after another. Zhao Zhengan has a good memory and can remember whoever didn''t give money and who gave money. Others who saw it were amazed. Some people know that Zhao Zhengan has clear eyes and behaves naively and guesses that he might have a problem, but everyone knows not to ask.


    "Hey, is this new food coming out of your stall?" The bunting man walked over and asked questioningly, looking at the cold noodles that Zhao Ning was preparing. He went to work after eating the hot noodle soup yesterday. He never met Zhong Ziqi selling cold noodles, but he heard someone say that there is a new kind of food on the Yizui Wharf, which makes it cool to eat.


    "Ah, yes, we are actually going to sell cold noodles later. Uncle didn''t catch up with the one who came yesterday. I plan to sell it in advance today." Zhong Ziqi explained gently.


    The big man was curious to see that half of the people in the stall were eating that new kind of food again: "Then you can also give me a bowl."


    "Okay, wait a minute."


    The table where the big man was sitting was already sitting on two people, and they were chatting. The big man sat down and found that it was an acquaintance who had worked with him before. He said hello: "You guys come to eat noodles too?"


    "Yeah, you are here too, do I remember you used to eat there?" One of them pointed to the noodle stall that big guys used to eat in the distance.


    The big man smiled and fought back: "I still remember you two were eating there before."


    "Hehe." The three of them smiled tacitly. They were all gluttons, and they went wherever they were delicious.


    "By the way, I heard that there is a cargo ship coming soon, and it may stop here." A person said.


    "Oh, there is no cargo ship on this day?" the big man said dismissively.


    "No, I heard that this time the cargo ship came from the south, and it seems to be a big family."


    "Oh? Really?" The big man and the other person were very interested in rubbing their chins. It would be a lot of money for work from a big family. They wouldn''t be stingy with this little money, so they are happy to give such a rich People work, but the number of jobs is also a problem. There are also people recruiting people. If you exceed it, you don''t need it. Many people squeeze their heads and want to go in.


    "Wuwenqian." At this time, Zhao Zhengan gave the face to the big man and the other two and said hoarsely. The three stopped talking, glanced at him and handed the money over, Zhao Zhengan stood there and counted it seriously before turning around.

 Chapter 16: mark

    The weather here in Zhaojia Village is very cold in winter and hot and humid in summer. Usually, it is uncomfortable to wear short clothes. What''s more, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning, who have been by the fire, have sweaty faces on their faces. But there is no time to wipe it.


    After receiving the money, Zhao Zhengan stood next to his wife as usual. He just saw a drop of sweat dazzled by the sun. He pursed his lips and looked around in a circle, then picked up his sleeve and wiped it on. The full forehead looks like a treasure to be wiped carefully.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t need to look up to know who it was, and a smile appeared on her handsome face.


    Zhao Ning was so close and couldn''t help but jokingly said: "It''s so affectionate, I''m so envious to see it!"


    Zhong Ziqi retorted with a vicious tongue: "Don''t worry, you won''t be envious soon."


    Zhao Ning quietly shut up. He is sixteen this year and he has reached the age of marriage, and it is difficult to find him when he is older. So recently his Eminem started looking for someone for him.


    Zhao Sheng watched this scene silently, with a smile flashing in his eyes. His brother never said that Qi Ge''er was not good enough. Before Qi Ge''er was quiet and quiet, it was always his brother twittering, occasionally Qi Ge''er got anxious. Now he would say a few sharp words to make his brother speechless. Now Qi Geer is much more cheerful than before, and every time he chokes, Xiao Ning can''t ask for a bargain.


    Seeing that more and more people are getting hotter and hotter, and his small booth can''t sit down anymore. Uncle Song doesn''t mind if others come to sit. It is because they are familiar with each other and are connected with their interests. But he is not familiar with other stalls. Even if they show kindness to him one by one, he does not want to ask for help.


    It''s just that more and more people are squeezing the road, what should I do? Zhong Ziqi looked worriedly, wondering if there was any way to alleviate this situation.


    Sad eyes swept inadvertently until Zhao Zhengan came back with the bowl after eating, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Quietly speaking to Zhao Sheng, Zhao Sheng glanced at him suspiciously and left.


    And Zhong Ziqi cleared her throat and shouted loudly: "Dear uncles, you have also seen that the small stall below is really too small, and squeezing it will really affect your food. From now on everyone can spend seven cents Take the noodles and the bowl together. You can eat it wherever you want, but don¡¯t worry. The two pennies are the deposit for the bowl. If you return the bowl, we will naturally refund your two pennies. If the bowl is not returned, the two pennies will be refunded. Wenqian is a bowl of cash, what do you think?" The bowl originally had two pennies apiece, so Zhong Ziqi did not raise the price.


    This method of doing business is the first time everyone has seen each other. After thinking about it carefully, it is not harmful to them, and they all agree to it. They are also really uncomfortable.


    Zhao Sheng, who went out soon, came back. What is surprising is that he still holds a small inkstone with black ink in his hand. It turned out that Zhao Sheng went to Uncle Huang''s house to borrow pen and ink according to Zhong Ziqi''s instructions.


    Zhong Ziqi took the pen and smiled and said to the surprised crowd: "I have a total of more than 30 bowls here. In order to prevent people from taking their own bowls to fill the number, I want to mark all the bowls, so even if someone pretends to be me I recognize that this is also a guarantee for everyone, and I hope everyone will understand."


    Hearing this, some people were annoyed, some people sneered, some people admired, and some people had bright eyes. Anyway, the reactions were different. Zhong Ziqi saw these reactions in his eyes and just smiled, but I don''t know if the smile is a sneer.


    "Okay, boss, please mark, I''m almost too hot and I''m waiting to eat noodles." someone shouted. Many people later agreed.


    Only then did Zhong Ziqi pick up the bowl with his left hand, and write a number 1 with a brush in his right hand, then put it on the fire and bake it to dry in the shade. Then he picked up the second bowl and wrote the number 2 to Zhao Ning. Zhao Ning immediately knew how to grill it by the fire.


    "Arabic Numerals" Zhong Ziqi believes that unless there are compatriots who have also traveled across this world, no one will know what it means, and his handwriting is clear to him, and no one can imitate it. This is also thanks to the fact that he was born in a scholarly family in his previous life, and his calligraphy was taught to him by his grandfather. It''s just a pity that neither he nor his elder brother are interested in teaching and educating people.


    Zhong Ziqi stopped writing until 37. It''s also quite different. I have so many bowls.


    "Okay, this time everyone can eat noodles in peace. Whoever wants to take it to me to buy it, and eat it at the stall next to me to buy it. Everyone queues up so that there is no mess."


    Everyone hesitated and stood in two rows. Someone had paid seven pennies and left with a marked bowl. After two steps, they looked back and saw that there was nothing wrong, and then they continued to stride. Soon there will be the first and the second. And Zhong Ziqi, who returned the bowl after eating, read the mark and returned the money, which made everyone more trustworthy.


    Tired and dry, Zhong Ziqi remembered the canned food he made yesterday. He turned his head and whispered to Zhao Zhengan: "There is a porcelain jar in the trolley bag over there. Take it out carefully so that you don¡¯t spill it. Pour the stuff out, let¡¯s quench our thirst."


    "Oh." Zhao Zhengan nodded and was very curious about what it was, because Zhong Ziqi would feed him every time he finished something, and this time it was so mysterious that he didn''t even know when his wife made it.


    Zhao Zhengan walked to the trolley, and there was a gray bag with a gray porcelain jar inside. He took it out and it was quite heavy, with a cloth wrapped around his mouth. Zhao Zhengan carefully untied it and opened the lid. There were square pieces of fruit inside. He recognized that these were pears and apples. He remembered the pear water made by his wife yesterday. He thought it was the same as the one. Zhao Zhengan poured four small bowls. Close the lid.


    Looking up at the busy four, he picked up one of the bowls and took a sip, huh? Zhao Zhengan looked down at the bowl, how did it feel different from yesterday''s taste? He took another bite of the pear, and he was even more convinced that it was different. Don''t make it much better yesterday. It was creamy, sweet and crunchy. He opened his eyes and drank all the bowls, then took the other three bowls carefully, first gave Zhong Ziqi a bowl, and then Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ning.


    The two recognized what it was. They thought it was the same as yesterday, and they drank it without blinking. Then, like Zhao Zhengan, they found something wrong.


    "Ziqi, isn''t it the same as yesterday?" Zhao Ning smashed his lips.


    "Well, the method is different. Yesterday''s was pear water. Today this is called canned fruit." Zhong Ziqi said smoothly, and he also took a thirsty sip from the bowl.


    "What is canned food?"


    "Uh... it''s a different approach."


    "Oh." Zhao Ning didn''t ask too much.


    He didn''t ask, but someone asked, "Boss, what do you drink?" It looks delicious.


    "That''s right, the boss will give you a bowl to taste."


    These people can also be regarded as regular customers at the stall. Although it has only been two days, they have been convinced of Zhong Ziqi¡¯s craftsmanship. Therefore, they will not be curious when they find out something strange and weird on Zhong Ziqi¡¯s booth, but will only feel that be envious.


    With a decent smile on Zhong Ziqi''s handsome face, he declined, "These are gadgets to quench my family''s thirst, so I don''t plan to sell them."


    "Boss, don''t be so stingy."


    "That is, we can pay for it."


    In the end, Zhong Ziqi was forced to sell it for two cents and a bowl. Originally, he didn¡¯t plan to sell the first reason: the two kinds of food on the stalls are enough for them to keep busy and they don¡¯t want to make trouble. The second is that there are so many good things that will inevitably attract people¡¯s attention, and it is easy to grab people brightly What caused the people''s indignation, although it has been robbed now...but he hasn''t stood firm yet, so he shouldn''t expose everything.


    A bowl of two pennies is not cheap, and a bowl of noodles costs five pennies plus two pennies for seven pennies, which is actually a bit expensive. Many people are discouraged. Those who usually only eat a bowl of noodles find it very luxurious. Besides, they can make up to dozens of pens a day. This is still a reward if they have a good business or go to a large family to work. Otherwise, it is common for them to earn more than 20 pens a day.


    Canned fruit tastes sweet and greasy, not all guys like it, on the contrary, it has captured the hearts of many A-Ma children.


    In a flash, half of the afternoon has passed. Although the temperature is still very hot, it is no longer as hot as noon. Zhong Ziqi decided to close the stall. In fact, even if he continues to sell here, he will have a lot of business, especially at night when the workers are off work, but he does not want to go home too late. First of all, it is not safe, and secondly, there is no get off work at home if he spends the whole day on it. Time is up.


    There is always no end to making money. It is necessary to relax and have a degree. Everyone is tired for a day, and the future will be long. As usual, I supplemented the ingredients needed for tomorrow and sent them to Huang Amao''s house and settled the rent. The four went back leisurely.


    When he got home, Zhong Ziqi wanted to keep Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng for dinner, but the two refused. They were too embarrassed to stay here for dinner, it''s not plausible.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t force her, so she settled their wages and sent them out.


    Then plug the door upside down, enter the house and count the money earned today on the table. I made nearly 400 wen today, and about one-third of cucumbers and persimmons are left. Zhong Ziqi feels that the goal of rebuilding a house at this speed is just around the corner. After all, many people have lived here. Even if he has a habit of cleanliness, he thinks that people who have lived in this house do not know what they have done. Or he may be uncomfortable after he has died. After earning money, when he has surplus, he wants to build a house in a layout that he likes according to his own ideas.


    However, the better the house, the more money is needed, and there may be a long way to go.


    Zhao Zhengan sat quietly, seeing his wife smirking at the coins scattered on the table, he leaned over and asked curiously: "Does my wife like this?"


    "Of course I like it. I tell you that money is not everything in this world, but it is absolutely impossible to have no money." Zhong Ziqi gave a serious education. If he ignores his irrepressible smile, he may be more convincing.


    This kind of making money is not the same as his feeling when he pays wages in modern times. It would be incomprehensible if he did not personally. This is the real gain through labor.


    Zhao Zhengan blinked his dark eyes and listened as if he didn¡¯t understand. His wife¡¯s last sentence was a bit complicated. He didn¡¯t understand it, but he understood that she liked money. He firmly remembered this in his heart. The daughter-in-law said for the first time what he liked.

 Chapter 17: Jinhua Restaurant

    "Boom boom" knocked on the door.


    Zhong Ziqi packed everything up, got up and opened the door. Standing outside the door was Zhao Ama: "Zhao Ama is here, come in."


    Zhao Amo entered the courtyard with a smile, and looked around, and the board was neat and clean, all of which showed that this was a neat family. He has a good feeling for Zhong Ziqi, so now he is more satisfied.


    "Ah Zhao?" Zhao Zhengan yelled quietly while standing aside. He was taught by Zhong Ziqi to say hello when he saw someone he knew. Although they had only met a few people in front of him, they were not familiar with him at all. He had never spoken to him. He didn''t know how many people he hadn''t seen at all since he was stupid, and he didn''t know how many people, let alone speak.


    "Yeah." Zhao Ama nodded, gave him a gentle look, and then followed the two into the hall to take a seat. After drinking my saliva, he said, "That¡¯s it. Didn¡¯t you say you want to build a courtyard wall yesterday? I found you two people for five cents a day. They are both honest and good people in the village. When will you have time to let them? come?"


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t expect that Zhao Ama''s efficiency is quite high. He turned his head and thought about it. He seemed to be busy at other times except when he had time. Now that the business has just opened, he can''t delay the whole day, so Zhong Ziqi thought about it and said his voice. Sincerely said to Zhao Ama: "Zhao Ama, do you see where I have so much time, or I will give you the keys of my house, and you can look at it for me, and you should be able to fix it in a long time?"


    Zhao Amo didn''t expect Zhong Ziqi to say this, he hesitated in his heart, after all, they didn''t get involved in relatives, so it''s always bad to enter people''s house grandiosely.


    Zhong Ziqi saw his hesitation and smiled and said: "Zhao Ama, don''t hesitate, I must believe that Zhao Ama is a person. Besides, our family looks like this house is the most valuable and nothing else, and I It''s really too busy."


    Seeing Zhong Ziqi''s words have reached this level, Zhao Ama is not declining. Moreover, as he said, this family seems to be really worthless. The only money is the income of these two days. He also believes that Zhong Ziqi will put it away: "Okay, I''ll take care of you. I''ll bring someone to repair tomorrow. By the way, today I received 50 catties of vegetables according to your request. They were all picked by honest people. I didn''t tell them when I received them. Who will receive it, but the movement is still too big. Many people have come to ask me. I can¡¯t tell you that this matter will be revealed some day. Everyone in the village knows that there will be a lot of people coming to knock you. Home, you have to be prepared."


    "Okay, I see. Thank you Zhao Ama for reminding me. By the way, Zhao Ama waits a moment for me to settle the food money for these two days. It just so happens that you are here, or I have to pass." Zhong Ziqiang Zhao Amo sat down to take a drink first, accompanied by Zhao Zhengan.


    He went into the bedroom and took out the purse under the pillow and counted two hundred yuan, then put the purse back under the pillow and opened the curtain to come out: "Ah Zhao, you count."


    Zhao Ama took the money and pad it with her hand, took out a purse from her arms and put it in it, and said cheerfully: "No, it must be logarithmic. Brother Qi, please give me the key. You can put the dish first. When you get to me, let the Shengzi carry it for you."


    Zhong Ziqi likes to deal with such up-and-coming people, without wasting her tongue: "Then let Ama''s house first, and when Brother Sheng comes tomorrow, it will be enough to carry 30 kilograms."


    "That''s OK, I''m leaving, let''s go and notify the two people first." Zhao Ama finished speaking and got up and walked out. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan sent people out together.


    After dinner in the evening, Zhong Ziqi took a hot bath and lay comfortably on the bed. Zhao Zhengan also cleaned herself before going to bed. He put his hands on his wife¡¯s waist as usual, but he was dissatisfied for a while. He wrigglingly wanted to hold his wife in his arms, the softly scented daughter-in-law made him fall in love with him, and there was a feeling of eagerness in his heart, but he didn''t know what it was like, so he ignored it, just hug Just stay with your daughter-in-law.


    But Zhong Ziqi quit, Zhao Zhengan was full of firepower, and his body was hot. He was already hot and uncomfortable in a hot day. Zhao Zhengan came over unconsciously. He is not hot but he is hot!


    Besides, it''s okay to hug and hug in what style? !


    Zhong Ziqi thought with a dark face, slammed her elbow back without even thinking about it, and her arm loosened around him, and an aggrieved voice came from her ear: "Daughter-in-law."


    The heat of talking sprayed on Zhong Ziqi¡¯s neck and he got goose bumps. His neck was a sensitive part and could not be touched easily. He felt a numbness, and his face became darker. He couldn¡¯t help struggling and squeezed Zhao. Zheng''an waved his hand open, staring round eyes and warned: "Be honest, it''s very hot, don''t lean over, otherwise you will go to that room to sleep."


    Zhao Zhengan was wilted and responded faintly. He didn''t know where he made his wife angry. He didn''t want to be separated from her, but if she was angry, she just had to sleep for a while, and she would forget it all the next day.


    Zhong Ziqi, who was furious, had no idea that her little temper had been completely figured out.


    The next day, at the same hour, the four of them went to the town, and their business was gradually saturated. Because the money earned in one day was about the same as yesterday, Zhong Ziqi was very content, and their booth was the first time that they could earn so much every day. It''s money, but the cost is also a lot. The ingredients needed every day account for nearly one-half, otherwise you will make more.


    On the way back, Zhong Ziqi walked absently, thinking of what the fat man said today.


    At noon today, when Zhong Ziqi was free to take a break, a fat man dressed in gorgeous clothes came to his stall with a kind smile on his face. It''s unusually conspicuous in this humble stall.


    Zhong Ziqi noticed him soon, and guessed that this person must be extraordinary, but he didn''t know the purpose of coming, so he calmly asked, "What''s the guest officer here?"


    The fat man took a look at him and said with a smile: "I heard that a delicious food appeared on the dock, and it was made by four children. I still don''t believe it. I really admire it when I saw it today."


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t figure out the path and had to deal with it: "Where, you really praised it."


    The fat man shook his head: "I will introduce myself. I am the shopkeeper of the Jinhua restaurant in front of me. My name is Jin Sheng. The purpose of coming today must be quickly imagined by my little brother''s intelligence."


    Zhong Ziqi knew the purpose of this person as soon as he heard the words of the shopkeeper in the restaurant, and nodded with a wry smile: "The shopkeeper Jin came to my face, right?"


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng could have heard them, but when they heard Zhong Ziqi''s words, they immediately woke up and looked at the fat man vigilantly, as if they would be snatched away.


    Zhao Zhengan was also exaggerated by the nervous atmosphere. He secretly hid behind Zhong Ziqi, and looked at this amiable shopkeeper without blinking, but his tight body made people know that, as long as you dare to dare If he hurts his daughter-in-law, he will rush over and fight the man desperately.


    The treasurer Jin didn¡¯t seem to see their nervousness, and said unhurriedly: ¡°My little brother is smart, I did come to your face, but I¡¯m not the kind of robbing person. I heard that you have a total of Sell ??two kinds of noodles. If you are willing to give me the recipe, the price will be negotiated."


    Zhong Ziqi is a little moved. He does need money now. The cost of selling noodles is very high. The daily net profit is too small. It is not safe to set up a stall here. Besides, the place is small, and he is destined to lose a lot of customers. He wants to have A restaurant of his own, so I want to do what I want to do, I can close the door at any time if I want to close it, but this is just thinking about it, he also inquired that a restaurant wants to buy at least five hundred taels of silver, which is for him In terms of astronomical figures, can you praise five hundred taels in the year of the monkey, based on the income of one hundred yuan of net profit per day?


    However, the shopkeeper''s words reminded him that he can sell the food, but he can''t bear to sell the good food, and he can sell the simple and easy-to-make. But this matter has to be considered for a long time, so he smiled lightly and said: "I have written down what the treasurer Jin said. Let me consider it for two days? It''s not a trivial matter after all."


    Shopkeeper Jin is very fond of this man who is neither humble nor overbearing. He smiles and doesn¡¯t force him: "Okay, when he thinks about it, he can come to me, and I hope I don¡¯t let me down." After finishing talking, he turned to leave, as if Thinking of something, he turned around and said: "Yes, since I noticed you, other restaurants must have noticed, so you must be careful not all restaurants are as reasonable as our Jinhua."


    Zhong Ziqi thanked: "Thank you for the reminder of Jinhua, I will be careful." In my heart, I was secretly troubled, but it would be nice if I could get along with Jinhua Restaurant. Jinhua Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Qingshui Town. It is said that there is a big deal behind it. Supported by forces, restaurants are scattered all over the country, and Qingshui Town is just a small branch here.


    Rumors are rumors after all, and no one knows whether they are true or false, but Zhong Ziqi only knows that they are helpless, and if they can climb a big tree, they are always good for the cold.


    The fascinated Zhong Ziqi didn''t notice the jealous sight from all around. The shopkeeper Jin¡ªthis pier is rarely unknown, but this is the first time that shopkeeper Jin came to talk in person. How can this not make them look hot, if you sell A prescription, then you can get a few taels of silver, which is money that they can''t make in a year, but now these people have got this opportunity easily, but they are still very disdainful to prevent them from being jealous. anger.


    If Zhong Ziqi knew what they were thinking, he would be inexplicable. When did he disdain it? He just wanted to put things off for a few days!

 Chapter 18: pissed off

    "Be careful." A cry of exclamation sounded, and Zhong Ziqi, who was distracted, only felt that he had stepped on something under his feet, and he slid backwards. The expected pain did not appear. Opening his eyes turned out to be held by Zhao Zhengan behind him. He was lying in Zhao Zhengan''s arms, looking ambiguous.


    Zhao Zhengan saw his daughter-in-law not moving and asked anxiously: "Daughter-in-law? Does it hurt?"


    Zhao Ning also walked over and asked worriedly: "Did you twist your ankle? How can I walk with care!"


    Zhong Ziqi hurriedly got up from Zhao Zhengan''s body, moving her feet only slightly tingling but not serious: "It''s okay, it doesn''t hurt, I didn''t twist it, thanks to Zhengan for helping me behind."


    The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Ning complained and said: "You have to look at the road when you walk. How can you be half-hearted. If this breaks, how will you do business tomorrow? No one at home will cook..."


    Zhong Ziqi interrupted him helplessly: "Okay, I know, I will take a good look at the road, little housekeeper" If you don''t interrupt him, I might be able to say all the way...


    Zhao Ning was unwilling to stop, and gave him a glance by the way.


    At the fork in the road, Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng took the wages given by Zhong Ziqi and went home. Zhong Ziqi walked home and found out that their yard wall had been fixed. No one could get in, Zhong Ziqi was very satisfied, remembering that the key was with Zhao Ama, and he asked Zhao Zhengan to wait at the door for a while to get the key.


    Zhao Zhengan stood alone at the door obediently, and now he has no initial panic, because his wife will always come back.


    Zhong Ziqi went to Zhao Ning''s house to fetch the keys, and gave Zhao Amo today''s food money and workers'' wages. After a few words, Zhong Ziqi went back.


    Zhong Ziqi went out of the village and walked towards her home. He raised his eyes and looked down. Zhong Ziqi was startled because he found three children gathered at the door of his home. About eight or nine years old, he seemed to be talking to Zhao Zhengan, and Zhao Zhengan also looked at them with a smirk and moved his mouth from time to time.


    Zhong Ziqi stood there and watched for a while to make sure that these children weren''t bullying Zhao Zhengan. Then he let go, and walked over, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and asked in a gentle voice: "Are you here to play with Zhengan?"


    The three children are all boys, wearing clothes with patches. They are not afraid to see Zhong Ziqi, and look at him curiously. One of the chubby children takes the lead to speak: "Are you a fool''s daughter-in-law?"


    "Yeah, who are you?"


    Another kid sniffed his nose and said, "We are the brothers of fools." The other two children stood up and sang their loyalties when they heard the words, and Zhong Ziqi snorted.


    Zhao Zhengan kept looking at his wife secretly, for fear that he would not be happy to play with them. Seeing him smile at this time, he couldn''t help but open his mouth.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and said that he was a little ghost big, got up and opened the door: "Come in."


    Zhao Zhengan led the way into the yard and pushed the cart into the corner.


    Three kids, look at me, I squeeze you in.


    It just so happened that there were still some canned fruits that I brought today. Zhong Ziqi found out four bowls and poured one by one, then looked at the three children with glowing eyes, and asked with a smirk: "Do you want to eat?"


    The child''s eyes moved from the bowl to his face in an instant, hesitated and nodded.


    "If you want to eat, you have to listen to me, and you will not be allowed to call him a fool in the future." Zhong Ziqi pointed to Zhao Zhengan and said, absolutely not allowing the word fool to appear in his territory.


    "What do you call a fool?" A child asked suspiciously. They didn''t know Zhao Zhengan¡¯s name. Zhao Zhengan used to go out to work, and the children in the village were not common, so they were all strangers to each other. Later, Zhao Zhengan was silly. Playing with them, they just shouted fools as adults.


    "Call... Call him Brother Zhengan, call me Brother Ziqi"


    The three children hesitated and yelled obediently: "Brother Zhengan, Brother Ziqi"


    Zhao Zhengan responded stupidly and smiled unconsciously.


    Zhong Ziqi listened to the soft and tender homophony, and her heart was soft, and she waved her big hand: "Come on, one bowl per person. After eating, go to the yard to play, don''t you know you are not allowed to fight?"


    The three children and one Zhao Zhengan nodded together, and rushed out holding the bowl.


    Standing in place, Zhong Ziqi shook her head helplessly and amusingly. Seeing the first and third children squatting in the shade at the door and having fun, regardless of them, she got up to take care of her own affairs.


    Today he came back from the town to buy a lot of vegetable seeds. Before the autumn tiger arrives, you have to plant it quickly and harvest a crop of vegetables, otherwise you won''t have to eat it this year.


    He didn''t want to always go to Wang Cuihua''s to beg her eyes, it was too peculiar, Zhong Ziqi rarely thought badly.


    In the yard, one of the children who looked slightly older ate the canned food in his bowl eagerly, holding the bowl and drooling at the other three people. He smacked his mouth, although he was greedy, but obviously had a well-educated baby. Will not rob and make noise.


    But it was so pitiful and pitiful that it was even more painful. Zhao Zhengan had eaten half of it, and when he saw that he had finished eating, he generously handed him the bowl: "Eat, Xiaohu."


    The child named Xiaohu hesitated: "You can eat, we each have a bowl, this is yours."


    Zhao Zhengan insisted on handing him the bowl, and said innocently: "I often eat it, and my wife will make it for me, so you can eat it."


    As soon as Zhao Zhengan''s words fell, he immediately caused a few children to look enviously, eating every day, that would be really happy. They seldom have sugar in their family, and they will lavishly use some sugar to make a delicious meal on a happy New Year''s Day.


    Xiaohu took the bowl, and this time he learned from the other two sips, so that he could take a closer look.


    Xiaohu''s name is Zhao Yuenlang, a very grand name. This is from his grandfather. If you ask who his grandfather is, Xiaohu can proudly tell everyone that his grandfather is Lizheng in the village. His father''s name is Zhao Hai, Li Zheng''s eldest son. Zhao Hai''s family is only loved by this kid but also has a strict education. Therefore, the young Huzi adds his grandfather''s identity under this kind of education, and subtly develops the character of a small adult. Usually, the children in the village dare not provoke him. The little Huzi speaks loyalty, is fair and intelligent, and is popular. Very good, plus being Lizheng''s grandson, he seems to have become the head of a child.


    Little Huzi ate the bowl intoxicated, and at the same time asked Zhao Zhengan mysteriously: "How is your daughter-in-law treating you?"


    Zhao Zhengan smirked when he mentioned his wife: "The daughter-in-law treats me best. Give me a warm place to live, and have enough food and meat."


    Little Huzi said with envy, "Then your daughter-in-law is really kind to you, and I will also find a daughter-in-law who is kind to me in the future."


    Zhao Zhengan was very contented, and he was very happy to hear others praise his wife.


    "Brother Zhengan, I heard that your family is doing business?" A child asked. His name is Erzhuzi. His father is the only tofu seller in the village. He is also good, but he is smart but not bad.


    Another child, Dabao, is also a child of an honest family in the village. Otherwise, people are grouped by similarities, and what kind of children play with what kind of people.


    Zhao Zhengan nodded proudly: "Yes, how do you know?"


    Dabao drank the sweet water in the bowl, smashed his mouth and said, "The whole village knows it, and what they said is terrible."


    Zhao Zhengan asked curiously: "What did you say?"


    ¡­


    Zhong Ziqi''s vegetable garden was opened behind the house, don''t get me wrong, it was not opened by him, it was opened by the Zhao family before. The ridges are all ready-made, and the surrounding fences are crooked and collapsed. Zhong Ziqi learned from the memory of farm work, carefully eradicating the weeds in each ridge, and then re-placing the ridges. The rest was seeding, and he got up to fetch water.


    Not far away, I ran into Zhao Zhengan who came out of the yard. He asked nonchalantly: "Why did you come out? Where are the kids?"


    silence¡­


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t hear Zhao Zhengan''s reply and looked up at him in confusion, only to find that Zhao Zhengan''s face was angered, a handsome face was tight, and his eyes looked at him for a moment.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t know why his heartbeat missed a beat, but he didn''t have time to think about it. He quickly put down the barrel and grabbed Zhao Zhengan to look around, and asked anxiously, "What''s the matter? Is there a fight?"


    Zhao Zhengan pursed his mouth and shook his head.


    "What''s wrong with that?" Zhong Ziqi was even more anxious when he didn''t fight but was so angry.


    Why is Zhao Zhengan angry?


    Screen rotation:


    The child named Dabao said, "The village said a lot of ugly things."


    Zhao Zhengan asked suspiciously: "What did you say?"


    Er Zhuzi took the look of the people in the village and said, "Shameless, you must be slanting your head and hooking up a guy, silly..."


    Zhao Zhengan looked at the three in confusion: "What do you mean?"


    Dabao scratched his head at a young age: "I don''t know, it''s not a good thing anyway."


    Little Huzi knows a lot. Although he doesn''t know what it means to be sloppy, but he knows what it means to hook up a man and shamelessly. That is a naked curse. He translated it to Zhao Zhengan very seriously.


    Then Zhao Zhengan became angry and shouted loudly: "My wife is not like that, she is not!" After leaving the three of them, she went to find her daughter-in-law. After searching for a while, he couldn''t find her, and he was even more worried. For the first time, he was alone. When he walked out of the gate, he didn''t know where to go when his wife appeared.

 Chapter 19: Merchant ship

    Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan anxiously: "If you don''t say anything, I will ignore you."


    With this trick, Zhao Zhengan showed a flustered look, and grabbed the corner of his clothes tightly for fear that Zhong Ziqi would leave him.


    Zhong Ziqi said slowly: "Tell me, what''s the matter? Who bullied you, and my wife will vent your anger."


    "No one is bullying me, it''s bullying you." Zhao Zhengan said suddenly, with anger and annoyance in his voice.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t expect it to be a matter of her own. She froze for a moment and then asked curiously: "Who bullied me? Did someone tell you something?"


    Zhao Zhengan couldn''t help but told Zhong Ziqi what he had heard, and finally said very seriously: "Daughter-in-law is not that kind of person."


    Although Zhong Ziqi was angry that the people in the village had broken mouths, she was also attracted by Zhao Zhengan''s trust and serious look: "Then what am I like?"


    Zhao Zhengan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Daughter-in-law is the best daughter-in-law in the world." Zhao Zhengan felt that this description was the best, the most suitable for his wife, and couldn''t help grinning happily.


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t laugh or cry, and at the same time a touch of emotion appeared in her heart. There is no need to do anything, as long as a voice of support and comfort is the best superglue, which will allow him to heal quickly.


    "Well, we are not angry, they just say what they like, and we won''t lose a piece of meat."


    "Why are they talking?" This is what Zhao Zhengan is puzzled by.


    Zhong Ziqi pondered for a while and said, "Because, they are jealous!"


    "What is jealousy?"


    "Because we have some things but they don''t, they are jealous and unhappy."


    Zhao Zhengan seemed to understand, "Can we give it to them? Then they will be happy."


    "That''s ours. If we give it to them, we won''t have any. What do you do?" Zhong Ziqi threw the question back


    "Well...then don''t give it to them, don''t be upset about your daughter-in-law." Zhao Zhengan answered without even thinking about it.


    Zhong Ziqi was very satisfied. It wasn''t that he was picking it up. He wanted to prevent someone from doing bad things from Zhao Zhengan in the future and get vaccinated in advance.


    "Okay, don''t think about it, go and fetch water for me, and carry it to the back of the house." Zhong Ziqi handed him the wooden barrel.


    Zhao Zhengan''s problem was solved and he was happy again, and he bounced to the well with a wooden barrel.


    Zhong Ziqi relaxed and returned to her yard. The three children stayed there honestly, and when he saw him coming over, they obediently called: "Brother Ziqi"


    Zhong Ziqi¡¯s house didn¡¯t have much to eat, only some fruits were left. He picked some good-looking fruits for them: "Take them to eat. Brother Zhengan can¡¯t play with you today. Would you like to come back later if you have time?"


    The three children happily thanked Zhong Ziqi, holding a fruit in each hand, and ran away one after another.


    After locking the door, Zhong Ziqi took the tool and ran to the vegetable garden, digging a hole, sowing seeds, watering, and burying the soil, four steps, and the sky was already dark when the two of them finished.


    Zhong Ziqi was really relieved when the vegetables were planted, but this was the first time he had planted them, and he was still looking forward to the results.


    In the evening, Zhong Ziqi fried a pig intestine and small cucumbers. There was still leftovers in the morning bone broth. It was just one dish and one soup. The nutrition was balanced. Zhong Ziqi was very satisfied, and Zhao Zhengan was very full!


    After eating, the two took turns taking a shower and went to bed early. There was no entertainment in ancient times. This is the law of going to bed early at night and getting up early in the morning. After a busy day, I was already tired, and there was no insomnia of modern people. The two fell asleep almost immediately when they touched the bed. There is no thinking about it.


    ¡­


    The Grand Canal is a large river that runs through the north and south. Although it is not very wide, it is very long. Many cargo ships in the north will transport goods from the north to the south for sale by water, and the south will also bring local specialties to the north and sell them at high prices. As long as they can do business, make a few trips and make money, as long as they don¡¯t meet Shanghai. Pirates of the storm are guaranteed to make a fortune.


    This day is a bright and beautiful day, there is no wind, and the hot weather makes people''s chest stuffy.


    A large ship came slowly from the south, and a flag with the word "Gao" was hung high and fluttered, indicating that this was not an ordinary cargo ship.


    "Master, there is a small town in front, do you want to rest?"


    Two people stood at the bow, speaking of a man with a strong build and thick eyebrows. He bowed slightly at this moment and said respectfully.


    The man called the young master leaned lazily on the railing, with black ink-like hair hanging on his shoulders, his skin was white, and his appearance was feminine with a hint of heroism. In short, he looked a little weak and windy. Hearing the question, the man languidly returned. To: "Let''s get on the shore, after so many days, go to rest and rest, and bring some goods down by the way."


    "Yes" The sturdy man clasped his fists and went down to give orders, leaving the man alone at the bow of the boat and looking into the distance. If anyone looked closely, he would find his eyes empty, obviously he was out of mind.


    The business at Zhong Ziqi''s booth is as good as ever. He knows that it will be able to fire this season, and the business will be deserted after the summer.


    Then he should sell other things by then, and the realization of it is now that he wants to get money fast is the business of buying and selling. It is too slow to stick to an acre of land or work for others, and neither he nor Zhao Zhengan are suitable. , So he made up his mind to go to the dark on this road.


    After earning enough money to build a big house in the country, raising a few servants, and living a life of leisure, I will be very happy.


    "Go, go, it''s too late for a while."


    "Unexpectedly so fast!"


    There was a chaotic sound from far and near. Zhong Ziqi glanced at a lot of people running toward the dock. The people eating noodles on the noodle stall were also puzzled. He caught a person who had just run over and asked, "What happened? So anxious."


    The man was in a hurry, was pulled away impatiently and continued running, leaving a sentence echoing in the booth: "A big merchant ship is coming."


    This sentence is like a depth bomb blasted the wharf. No¡ªthe workers who started the wok knew that there was another big business coming. They ran to the wharf without even eating noodles.


    In an instant, there were only a few people left in all the stalls. Half of the people who ran to the pier were workers and half watched the fun. They didn''t even bother to eat the things they paid for.


    The four of Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning were facing a somewhat empty and quiet street for a moment, and for a moment they couldn''t recover. The contrast was really too great.


    If you look at the left side, you can see that the enclosed water on the side of the dock is impenetrable and full of noise.


    "Is it a little scared? Just get used to it." Uncle Song laughed stupidly when he saw the four of them, and he didn''t admit that he had come here so stupidly.


    Zhao Sheng scratched his head and asked, "Uncle Song, do you often do this?"


    Seeing the eyes of the four people all at once, Uncle Song cleared his throat and said as if someone was coming by, "Not very often, but if there is such a big effect, then it must be those rich and powerful merchant ships that have come. , This group of people want to go and see what big people are here."


    "Oh, that''s how it is."


    "Okay, it doesn''t matter to us, please pack up the dishes and chopsticks." Although Zhong Ziqi was surprised, he calmed down quickly.


    Although Zhao Zhengan was also curious to look at the crowd frequently, but he would not leave Zhong Ziqi to go out alone. Hearing Zhong Ziqi''s words, he took the lead to clean up the dishes on the stall.


    Besides, on the side of the dock, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent for a while, and everyone stared straight at the person who got off the boat.


    People in these small places have rarely seen such a good-looking person, and they are still a kid. Although the caravan passing by here also has good-looking looks, but they are not so good-looking and temperamental.


    Gao Hanjin raised his eyebrows and looked at the scene in front of him, expressing his appreciation for the eyes of these buns, so he didn''t care about their irritating eyes. "Huh" opened the paper fan in his hand and motioned to the man standing behind him: "Go, let''s go out for a stroll. After eating dry food for so long, we can finally change a bite."


    Gao Hanjin is the owner of the entire ship, but this is the first time he has taken a merchant ship out to sea. No matter how arrogant and disdainful he is, he is still a savvy person, so he can¡¯t be special in anything. As a means to win over the hearts of the people, it turned out that the dry food for more than half a month was not eaten for nothing. At the very least, those individuals in the caravan no longer looked down on him when they first came.


    The man behind him got the order and opened the way in front, Gao Hanjin shook the paper fan and walked behind.


    As we passed through the crowd, there was a pause. Thin lips turned slightly to the young man next to him and showed a charming smile: "This beautiful man, do you have any food here?"


    The young man was so fascinated that he couldn''t find the north, and he replied with a peach blossom nervously: "Before... in front, there is a cold noodle stall."


    "Thank you." Gao Hanjin waved his sleeves without taking away a cloud.


    Until the person walked away, that brother still looked like a idiot, and the others who watched shook his head speechlessly, and secretly stayed away. Who would dare to marry such a brother at home.

 Chapter 20: arrival

    Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t know that a big man was walking towards his booth. At this time, there were five or six people sitting in his booth. After Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning prepared their noodles, they were very leisurely and followed Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zheng¡¯an. Rest at an empty table.


    "Ziqi, what do you say is in this cargo ship?" Zhao Ning asked curiously, because he hadn''t touched these things before, he couldn''t think of what the cargo ship was for sale.


    "I don''t know." Zhong Ziqi shook his head. He hasn''t touched him either, but he can imagine what it is: "But it should be all local precious things!"


    Zhao Ning nodded and continued to ask: "Then-why not sell them in the south, but go to the north with a lot of trouble?"


    This is a kind of business method, Zhong Ziqi can''t be more familiar with it. Things can be eaten wherever they are precious. In ancient times, this method was even carried forward. Many ordinary people made their fortunes by running merchants.


    "Do you know why the goods carried by this north-south runner make so much money?" Zhong Ziqi asked the seller.


    Zhao Ning shook his head like a rattle. Zhao Zhengan couldn''t understand what his wife was talking about, so he shook his head to join in the fun. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help but laugh.


    On the side, Zhao Sheng looked thoughtful.


    "I¡¯ll give you an example, um¡ªLet¡¯s take Shaju. It is well known that it is outrageously expensive. It is only eaten by wealthy people. It may not be sold all the time, because Shaju is an authentic southern product. But it is everywhere in the south, super cheap, and the north can not be grown due to climate and other reasons, then the cheap mandarin oranges in the south have become a rarity in the north, and the price is naturally very expensive. On the contrary, we can get special products from the north. The South is also a good thing, because there is no South, understand?"


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng suddenly realized.


    "Ziqi, you know a lot!" Zhao Ning said with a look of admiration.


    Zhao Sheng also admired him very much, and there was a hint of shame in it. He is not as knowledgeable as a little brother who doesn''t get out of the door, and he secretly made up his mind to learn more in the future.


    Zhong Ziqi just smiled: "This is also what my dad said before, so I will write it down." He was a little embarrassed to push everything to the deceased person, but if he didn''t do that, he would definitely reveal his stuff. I can be sorry.


    Although Zhao Zhengan could not understand what his wife said, but he saw the admiration of Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng, and he immediately proudly said: "The wife is the best."


    "Who is the boss?" A grim voice interrupted the conversation of the four. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning together looked up in the direction of the voice, and then they were stunned.


    Not only were they stunned, the booth was silent. The speaker was handsome with a hint of fierceness, but he was not the protagonist. The protagonist was the man behind who was more beautiful than his brother. He shook the paper fan and shook his head. I looked around with a lazy gaze, and there may still be a hint of disdain and disdain when I look closely.


    Zhong Ziqi just shook for a moment and immediately recovered, stood up and said calmly: "I am the boss, what do you two want?"


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng also stood up immediately. No matter how clumsy their eyes were, they could see that these two people were not ordinary people, and even Zhao Zhengan, who was unidentified, stood up.


    Seeing the direction where the two came, everyone secretly guessed that it might be the person in the merchant ship, right?


    The cold man glanced at the other people''s food: "Just like them, two bowls."


    "Okay, please wait a moment."


    There were scattered people sitting on the four tables at the stall. The only empty table was the one they were sitting on. The four hurriedly got up and gave them their seats. The two people walked over like this.


    Gao Hanjin really looked down on such a small stall. He had a very dirty and noisy impression in his impression. If many people said it was delicious, he would really not come. But it¡¯s quite interesting. The stall that I saw along the way was not an uncle. How could the sudden appearance of four handsome and good-looking people not surprise him? This is also one of the reasons why he didn¡¯t turn around right away. He wanted to see it. The deliciousness is so beautiful.


    "Azhuo."


    The grim man knew, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the stool carefully, and Gao Hanjin sat down satisfied with the tabletop.


    This scene is in the eyes of a few busy people. Zhao Ning muttered angrily; "What, dislike us? You can go if you don''t like eating!"


    Zhao Ning didn''t know that he had finished muttering, and the cold man called Ah Zhuo glanced at him.


    Although Zhong Ziqi is also a little unhappy, she also knows that some people are obsessed with cleanliness, let alone big people. It is normal to dislike his stall: "Okay, don''t say it, just serve it when it''s done."


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng served a bowl of cold noodles to the table. Zhao Ning said in a crisp voice: "Ten cents."


    Azhuo took out ten cents from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ning.


    Gao Hanjin raised his eyebrows and looked at the food in front of him. There was almost no trace of oil in the whole bowl. It looked like it was all water. He picked up a chopsticks and picked up a rice wire, put it in his mouth, and then moved. Only then did he discover that the secret of this side turned out to be cold, no wonder what it was called? Cold noodles!


    He took another chopstick and ate it in his mouth. It was a little sour, with a hint of sweetness in the sour. The Gao Han Jin, which has eaten many delicacies, can be eaten. This evening noodle is not a peerless delicacy, but it is in the summer. Absolutely even if it is delicious, even he has to praise it. Eating a bowl of noodles seems to be able to eat the heat.


    Of course he didn''t know that the water Zhong Ziqi put in was all fresh water from the well. Of course, it was cold enough, and he didn''t need water that was not cold. This is one of the reasons why many people come to eat.


    Ah Zhuo watched unexpectedly that the young master was not picky, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, and he took a bite of his own noodles, and then he immediately knew the reason for this. His young master was particularly afraid of heat, if not. If he doesn''t come out, Master is absolutely willing to stay in the south. And the sweetness and sourness in this side are exactly in line with the taste of the young master. It''s too late to be happy, how can I dislike it.


    "Hey, no matter how much you dislike it, you are still defeated by Ziqi''s craftsmanship?" Zhao Ning said triumphantly.


    Zhong Ziqi shook his head helplessly. He knew that most of them were cool enough to run, and what they said was delicious.


    Gao Hanjin was full after eating a bowl. He sat in a chair and rested, a pair of Danfeng eyes looked around randomly, Zhong Ziqi''s face went straight into his eyes, Gao Hanjin squinted his eyes for a while. Suddenly I felt familiar, and I always felt that this face seemed to have been seen somewhere before, but why didn''t he have any impression at all? If I can''t think of it, I just don''t want to.


    "Boss, withdraw the bowl." At this moment, Ah Ma came over with a bowl.


    Zhong Ziqi replied, took his bowl and looked at the bottom, took two cents and handed it to Ah Ma.


    Gao Hanjin is very curious about what mystery can''t be made? Then he picked up his own bowl and looked at the bottom of the bowl. A strange symbol? Appearing at the bottom of the bowl, with his profound knowledge, he didn''t even know what it was, like a word but not a word.


    Azhuo also picked up the bowl like the young master: "Master, there is also..." Azhuo paused for a while and didn''t know how to describe it.


    "Oh? I''ll look at you."


    Gao Hanjin took Azhuo''s bowl and found that it was different from the one under his bowl. The traces of this symbol are enough to tell that the person who wrote it has sufficient literary skills. Gao Hanjin immediately became interested, he got up, and walked towards the free four people over there leisurely.


    "Hey... Ziqi, you see that person is here." Zhao Ning poked Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi raised her head and glanced, and sure enough, the man had already come to him.


    He smiled calmly: "Does this guest officer need anything else?"


    "No, I''m just curious about what the boss wrote under your bowl?" Gao Hanjin''s voice with a smile at the corner of his mouth looked down at the handsome and handsome brother in front of him. If the cheeks of the other brothers had already been confused and flushed, it would just surprise him. Not only he but the guy next to him didn''t respond much, could it be that his charm has declined?


    The real reason is that Zhong Ziqi only appreciates this kind of beauty, but he can''t be interested in it. It is not his dish, but Zhao Ning is watching him laugh like that, like a big-tailed wolf. good idea.


    Instead, Zhao Zhengan walked to Zhong Ziqi nervously and glared at Gao Hanjin. Don''t look at him stupid, but he can feel threatened. For example, this person feels very unusual for him. He doesn''t know what this feeling is called. , But anyone who feels wrong should not be too close to his wife.


    Gao Hanjin glanced at him, and he could tell at a glance that this was a fool. He looked away uninterestedly and looked at that brother.


    Zhong Ziqi frowned. He didn''t like the man''s eyes looking at Zhao Zhengan, but it was not easy to drive them away, but they could only smile and say, "This is just a mark I handwritten."


    "Oh? Are you literate?"


    "My dad taught me literacy since I was a kid, so I know some."


    Gao Hanjin tapped her hand with a fan: "Well... so many bowls, aren''t you afraid that someone will imitate this mark to cheat money?"


    Zhong Ziqi was impatient to deal with it, but he also knew that this person had a lot of background and could only endure: "One handwriting is one type of person, and I know my handwriting. If someone can imitate it, that person is also powerful, and I will admit it."


    Gao Hanjin smiled: "It''s a good sentence to admit it."


    Then I stopped asking, how could he not see the impatience of this person? He had never been treated like this before, especially a brother. He didn''t know where to provoke him, but although this person is very interesting, But he wouldn''t be boring himself. After eating and drinking, he should leave.


    Gao Hanjin did not stay longer in this small town. After selling some of the goods, and staying overnight, he continued on the next day to his final destination¡ªBeijing.

 Chapter 21: Door-to-door

    Zhong Ziqi''s small business only made a small ripple and returned to calm, but maybe God can''t stand his leisurely time, the trouble suddenly came again, and it was fierce.


    This is first of all Zhong Ziqi''s purchase of vegetables. The people in the village don''t know where the news came from. It turns out that he was behind Zhao Ama''s purchase of vegetables. The result is conceivable, as Zhao Ama said, the original ridicule and ridicule disappeared, replaced by smiling, pleasing and kind faces.


    Zhong Ziqi really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times. What he wanted was this situation. He was not a good old man. His eyes were actually very small. Anyone who said something awkward and gave a look of contempt can remember clearly. He had said that if you have the ability, don''t ask him! !


    So don''t bully people too much!


    Don''t bully young people into being poor, young people have their times!


    The young man still bears a grudge!


    But Zhong Ziqi just gloated and turned into a bitter face after a short time. These people are really annoying and disturb his normal life. He deeply feels that dog skin plasters are not so sticky.


    For example, this afternoon, when Zhong Ziqi and his party came back from the town, they saw several people standing at the head of the village.


    "It''s so annoying!" Zhao Ning muttered with an unhappy face. Not only their home, but even he himself dared not go out these days, someone who was caught inadvertently asking questions, it was simply...


    "Brother Qi is back!" An old Ah Ma grinned, showing a big yellow tooth, and shouted loudly.


    "Oh, Brother Qi is amazing. As expected, if you have a father, you have a son. He is as capable as your father." A slightly fat Ah Ma came over with a pleated face.


    Seriously, Zhong Ziqi''s ears almost heard the cocoon, this group of people can be described as doing everything, sweet talk, sugar-coated cannonballs, and big moves are flying all over the sky.


    It''s no wonder that these people are anxious. Zhao Ama followed Zhong Ziqi¡¯s instructions to buy vegetables from people with good character and honesty. Zhao Ama himself hated the villagers who chewed their tongues. White can be called black, and good can be called bad. So the people he bought were all people he thought was good.


    Those honest people are naturally happy that some people come to collect vegetables, they can earn dozens of yuan, which is not a good income. There are shrewd people who can''t understand the long-tongued women in the village, so they go out to show off.


    One is okay, but suddenly several people say they are sitting at home and selling vegetables to make money, and they have noses and eyes. Many people can''t sit still, why have they never heard of it? Why not take them? All of them searched for news and found Zhao Ama''s house. Zhao Ama used Tai Chi and drove the group away.


    Suddenly someone in Houlao Village said that they had met Zhong Ziqi in the town. The business was so good that they used a lot of vegetables, which seemed to have been purchased in the village. The news was released and the pot was fried immediately. Those people seemed to have forgotten that they had spared no effort to slander. This poor man came to the door with a good appearance one after another.


    However, Zhong Ziqi received Zhao Ama''s instructions, and he was in charge of these matters, which made him greatly relieved.


    Zhao Zhengan looked angrily at the group of people in front of him. These days someone was always knocking on their door. Sooner or later, although he didn''t know what was going on, he keenly felt that every time this group of people came. , The daughter-in-law is not happy, her face is bored.


    Then as a husband, he (shy) must protect his wife from being bullied. Of course, he hasn''t realized this yet. This is what his friends said. He can remember everything about his daughter-in-law and learn it to use.


    At this moment, the way home was blocked, they were unconsciously dangling in front of the daughter-in-law, and they were suddenly upset, and yelled, "You all go away." But these words were like a stone sinking into the sea. Can''t bring a ripple. No one cares about a fool, he has already completely ignored it.


    "Brother Qi, you''ve grown up so much in a blink of an eye. When you are here, we two are the best."


    It''s another one, but this one is pretty smart and knows how to play family cards, but Zhong Ziqi, who is in a tough situation, doesn''t work well with any cards, let alone he is not stupid, how can he be friends with this kind of person? ? It''s not that he is arrogant and despise people, but the man in front of him has a monkey face, and his eyes turn around and look unconscious, just like Wang Cuihua.


    "Daughter-in-law!" Finally gathered up the courage to shout, but no one responded, as if it did not exist. Zhao Zhengan was withered, his bright black eyes were stained with water vapor, and his thick eyebrows were squeezed together like two hairs. insect.


    Zhong Ziqi knew that this was wronged, he took his hand and shook it, saying that I couldn''t bear to let him be wronged. When you came, it made people unhappy. Is it transparent to be someone else?


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the hypocritical people in front of him with a smile and said: "It''s too early, everyone, I have to go back, and if I have a problem with food, I will reiterate that everyone can discuss with Zhao Ama. I have given him full authority to take care of it. Okay, let''s give it up."


    Looking at Zhong Ziqi, who looked at strangers away, the others were inexplicably shocked, and unconsciously gave way.


    Zhong Ziqi and several people went back to their homes, but he was obviously happy too early. Before Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had had time to drink when they returned home, the door was knocked again.


    Zhao Zhengan''s happy face immediately pulled the old man, Zhong Ziqi frowned: "Who is it?"


    The man outside the door didn''t speak, as if he hadn''t heard.


    "Who is it?" Zhong Ziqi raised her voice and walked over.


    Still no one spoke, and the knock on the door never stopped.


    Zhong Ziqi reluctantly opened the door. Zhong Ziqi regretted it when she saw someone coming. Why did she owe her paws so much? What door should you open?


    It was no one else standing outside the door, it was Wang Cuihua, whom his nominal mother-in-law had quarreled a few days ago.


    Zhong Ziqi said with a cold face: "What are you doing?" There was no one on the left, and no one could see it even if the skin was torn.


    Wang Cuihua''s fat face squeezed out a kind-looking smile, which made his face look more and more ferocious: "Brother Qi, let me see how you are doing well!"


    "If you don''t come to disturb us, we will definitely have a good time!" Zhong Ziqi sneered expressionlessly, clasping the door with both hands to block Wang Cuihua''s body that wanted to squeeze in.


    "Hehe, look at what you said, I can still harm you."


    Wang Cuihua didn''t expect that Zhong Ziqi was so disrespectful, her face changed colorfully, her heart was bitter, but she couldn''t show it. He stood on tiptoe and craned his neck to look inside, and saw Zhao Zhengan in the house with sharp eyes. Shrieked and shouted: "Zhengan? Zhengan? I am Eminem!"


    Zhao Zhengan walked over looking for a voice, and he saw Eminem who he hadn''t seen for a long time standing outside the door. When Wang Cuihua saw Zhao Zhengan coming over, she was proud that this fool had to listen to her own Eminem! Reached out and pushed Zhong Ziqi''s arm away and squeezed in, and took Zhao Zhengan''s arm and said affectionately: "Zhengan, I am Eminem. Eminem hasn''t come to see you for so long. Don''t you blame Eminem? Do you really miss it? Huh?"


    If it were before, Zhao Zhengan would definitely be happily wagging his tail around Eminem''s side like a puppy at this time, but he was not at all happy at this time. On the contrary, when Wang Cuihua appeared, he felt a little unhappy. .


    He doesn''t know why this is! At this moment, only Zhong Ziqi is left in his eyes, especially after living with Zhong Ziqi for so long. Even if Zhao Zhengan is stupid, he can feel the difference. His current life is so much better than that at home. Underground, good makes him fear that one day he will return to his original life.


    Seeing his own eminem again, Zhao Zhengan¡¯s heart was very calm, no longer the intimacy of the past, he broke away from Eminem, grabbed his painful hand and hid behind Zhong Ziqi, holding his clothes, the one he is most afraid of now is his wife. Will he be sent back to Eminem? He will not leave his wife!


    Zhong Ziqi squinted his eyes and was very satisfied with Zhao Zhengan''s actions and performance. He admitted that he did not spare any effort to stop Wang Cuihua and wanted to see Zhao Zhengan''s reaction. The result was very satisfying to him. He didn''t waste his efforts for such a long time. Heavy, stand on his side.

 Chapter 22: puppy

    Wang Cuihua''s face was green in embarrassment. She didn''t expect that the fool who used to be bullied by him now dared to disobey him and kept talking. Thinking of what happened today, Wang Cuihua knew that he couldn¡¯t count on Zhao Zhengan, a fool, so he stared at him bitterly, and said to Zhong Ziqi with a full smile like a face change: "Brother Qi, you see we are all a family. You can''t let others take advantage, can you?"


    "Oh, what do you say?" Zhong Ziqi looked at him interestingly, how could he not know that little thought.


    "Don''t you need vegetables now? We have so many vegetable gardens. We want to pick as many as we want." Wang Cuihua rushed to the subject uncontrollably.


    "That''s it." Zhong Ziqi was thinking: "Then-it''s okay if you don''t give money?"


    Wang Cuihua smiled stiffly, and said unnaturally: "You see our family is not easy, your brother is twelve this year, and he will be married in two years. This-family is not rich either."


    "Stop¡ªdon¡¯t take a bite to our family. I listened to me. We are already separated, do you understand? At that time, it was a good idea not to interfere with each other¡¯s finances. If you are so forgetful, do you want me to find out the papers? Read it to you again?" Zhong Ziqi said with a smile.


    "You..." Wang Cuihua didn''t pretend, and returned to her original color: "Oh, you are Zhong Ziqi, the wings are stiff, right? Today, if you don''t bring me some money, I won''t leave."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled when he heard the words, then turned her head and quickly changed her face, tearful, and fell aggrievedly on Zhao Zhengan''s body: "Zheng''an, Eminem bullied me, will you help me drive him out?"


    Zhao Zhengan immediately rushed to appease the aggrieved daughter-in-law. Now the daughter-in-law is the largest in his world. The daughter-in-law said that he would not say second, even if he was his Eminem in front of him, but he could not bully his wife. Walked over with a grimace.


    "You...what are you going to do? You fool, I told me but you Eminem, how can you help an outsider, don''t come over!" Wang Cuihua screamed back nervously.


    "The daughter-in-law is not an outsider!" Zhao Zhengan became even more angry, and pulled Wang Cuihua''s arm out of the door, then turned around and closed the door quickly.


    Zhong Ziqi secretly applauded.


    "Well, you guys, you bully me together, I will let everyone comment on me." Wang Cuihua knocked at the door, she could only stop, and walked away angrily.


    Zhong Ziqi looked very pleased as she heard the voice getting farther and farther away.


    "Daughter-in-law, don''t be angry!" Zhao Zhengan cautiously soothed, clutching Zhong Ziqi''s smooth little hand tightly.


    "En? I''m not angry, I won''t be angry if I don''t see him." Zhong Ziqi said solemnly, and didn''t feel that he had deceived people and needed an explanation.


    The silly Zhao Zhengan remembered what his daughter-in-law said, the daughter-in-law doesn''t like Eminem, then-then he doesn''t like it either? !


    Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t know what Zhao Zhengan was thinking. He walked back into the room, thinking that according to Wang Cuihua¡¯s personality, he would not give up. He might decide how to slander the two of them outside, but his reputation seems to be bad enough. Is it worse than this?


    Just as Zhong Ziqi thought, Wang Cuihua went to a crowded place after returning from Zhong Ziqi¡¯s house. Under the big trees in the middle of the village, the summer weather was hot and many people sat under the trees. Wang Cuihua ran away looking aggrieved. Zhong Ziqi began to scold under the tree, and Zhao Zhengan did not fall, but Zhong Ziqi did not do anything too much after all, so it was all "no family education", "heart cruel", "not filial" and so on...


    Compared to those ugly rumors before, these are really nothing, not to mention that many people are now too late to cheat on Zhong Ziqi, how can they offend the pole, only to say a few words with the same hatred as Wang Cuihua''s usually good people.


    In the evening, the door of Zhong Ziqi''s house was knocked again.


    "Zheng''an, go see who''s here, don''t let in if you don''t know." Zhong Ziqi couldn''t get away while cooking.


    Zhao Zhengan responded and filled the last firewood into the stove and got up to open the door. Was it Zhao A who was carrying a big back basket standing outside the door?


    "Zhao Amo" Zhao Zhengan obediently called for Zhao Amo to come in.


    "Hey, is Brother Qi at home?" Zhao Amo asked when he entered the yard.


    "In the kitchen." Zhao Zhengan pointed to the kitchen honestly, closed the door and followed behind.


    "Brother Qi?" Zhao Amo went to the kitchen.


    "Zhao A, so why are you here?" Zhong Ziqi was surprised, got up and covered the pot, and walked to the basin to wash her hands.


    Zhao Ama smiled mysteriously and carefully took down the heavy basket behind him: "Look at what this is?" After speaking, he lifted the cloth that had been covering the basket.


    Two black and bright puppies were lying inside, and they all murmured when they saw the light.


    "Dogs!" Zhao Zhengan looked at the two little ones with joy, with bright eyes. He wanted to reach out and touch them, but he didn''t dare.


    Zhao Ama let out the puppy inside. The youngest one had two palms longer than an adult, and the larger one was half a head longer than him. The hair on my body is not pure black when I look closely, and some places are still yellow. Because I changed to a strange place, I didn''t dare to run around. I sniffed and looked around, from time to time: "Wang Wang" Call twice.


    "Today, I went back to my mother''s house. I asked for these two for you. This dog is too young and will not look after the house for a while, and it is too big to be raised. It is just right to be so big, and it will grow up to be this big in the end." Zhao A He stretched out his arms and gestured.


    "Thank you so much, Zhao A, for letting you take a trip." Zhong Ziqi also showed love in his eyes. He liked stuffed things since he was a child, and he also thought about raising one, but the family didn''t agree with it. Only regretfully gave up.


    "Hey! Thank you, there are so many dogs, and I am eager to find someone to send out two of them. I''m happy to hear that someone is willing to raise them!"


    Zhao Zhengan knelt down and smiled stupidly at the two dogs looking at him: "Daughter-in-law, what do they eat?"


    "You go get a bone and show them whether to eat or not."


    Zhao Zhengan immediately found a bone with meat and placed it in front of the puppy.


    The two puppies only sniffed but did not eat when they saw their favorite.


    "Daughter-in-law, they won''t eat it!" Zhao Zhengan said disappointedly.


    "They are not familiar with us yet, just take it easy, you watch them here and don''t run around, I will talk to Zhao Ama."


    "Yeah!" Zhao Zhengan nodded indiscriminately.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Amo entered the main house, and when they reached a bowl of water, they handed it to Zhao Amo and sat down.


    "Zhao A, how is the acquisition of Cai now?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    Zhao Ama took a sip of water and said, "It''s okay, but there may not be many in the village." He meant that if only those family members were to be collected.


    Zhong Ziqi groaned for a moment and said, "Zhao A, why don''t you let those people in the left and right villages hang out for so long, so let''s buy them. We live in the village, and we are too ruthless and too offensive. You can still sell them a favor."


    "Okay, listen to you, I was just about to tell you about this, but I didn''t expect you to bring it up." Zhao Ama had to give a compliment. At a young age, he is a veteran, and he is really a life-training man!


    "But there are a few people, Zhao A, don''t accept it..." Zhong Ziqi smiled.


    ¡­


    In fact, what puzzled Zhong Ziqi was how the Zhong family was so calm and did not move at all. It was really calm and made him look at it with admiration. It''s just that the Wang Cuihua exploded, and they dived deeply, this...it''s abnormal!


    Does the Zhong family really want to get involved? miss you! It¡¯s just that they have a lot of food, but they don¡¯t need much cucumbers and persimmons, and they can¡¯t produce too much, so just forget it. There are not a few in the village. Many people grow only enough food for their own family. Seeing Zhong Ziqi harvest vegetables is not unsightly, but there is no way.


    Nowadays, it is said that Zhong Ziqi is great in the village, and he has made a lot of money in business, and he is very kind to buy vegetables from a village. How can he not make the Zhong family jealous, greedy, and regret. But after all, this will break the bones that are connected to the bloodline of the relatives, which can''t be broken, the Zhong family thought.

 Chapter 23: Trouble door

    After sending Zhao A away, Zhong Ziqi walked into the kitchen happily. What made Zhong Ziqi smile is that Zhao Zhengan is still staring with two puppies, the picture looks funny and harmonious.


    "Eat, it''s delicious." Zhao Zhengan pushed his bones, looking very much looking forward to it. He imagined that the dog will look majestic in the future. He must be very domineering when he takes it out. Huzi and the others will definitely be envious. his.


    The dog was still young, and after insisting on seeing the person in front of him for so long was indeed harmless, he put down his vigilance, the big one leaned in and took the bone away and the small one ran to the corner to eat together.


    Zhao Zhengan showed a happy smile.


    "Do you like it?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    "like."


    "Just give it a name if you like."


    Zhao Zhengan thought about it seriously, and finally shook his head. He couldn''t figure it out: "Get up with the wife."


    Seeing that he really couldn''t think of it, Zhong Ziqi had to switch to him. Seeing that the two dogs had dark coats, he said casually: "Let''s call him Dahei, Xiaohei."


    He didn''t admit that he was named Fulai!


    Zhao Zhengan clapped his hands happily, and shouted at the two sweet-eaters: "Da Hei, Xiao Hei."


    Dogs do not bird him.


    Zhong Ziqi shook his head and ignored him. Now that he has two puppies, he has found two playmates for him, so he won''t be bored.


    After having dinner in the evening, Zhong Ziqi sat on the bed and counted the money he has made in the past few days. In the nearly half a month since the opening, he has already earned nearly two consistent amounts of net profit. There is still surplus in spending for most of the year.


    Zhong Ziqi is a little dissatisfied. Now that the initial difficult period has passed, he wants to think about something more long-term and profitable. The cold noodle business is only this season, and there will be no more after that, it is not as good as Zhong Ziqi has an idea in his heart.


    The next day, Zhong Ziqi went to the stall as usual, and it didn''t take long for him to find trouble.


    "Who are you?" Zhong Ziqi looked at the three in front of him vigilantly, headed by a bloated, greasy middle-aged man with a pinch of goatee on his chin and narrow eyes, looking shrewd and cruel. .


    "You are the owner of this noodle stall? I am the shopkeeper of Changshun Restaurant, and my surname is Chang." The shopkeeper Chang said with a smile.


    The other customers at the stall have long been far away, and they know the most about who the shopkeeper is.


    "I don''t know what the shopkeeper is doing when visiting my stall?" Zhong Ziqi looked at this person and knew that the person was not good, and only hoped that he would not come hard and hurt the innocent.


    Zhao Ning, Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhengan both stood behind Zhong Ziqi and watched nervously.


    "I heard that Jinhua''s Jinhua shopkeeper came not long ago, and I heard that you rejected him. Then you must know what I am doing. You have to think about it. I''m not as easy to talk as that old man." Chang shopkeeper I looked around and said with a smile, but the shopkeeper Jin smiled and looked kind, while he looked gloomy.


    Zhong Ziqi''s heart trembled, and she was really afraid of what would come: "This¡ªI hope Boss Chang will give me some time to think about it? I''ll give you a satisfactory answer in two days."


    "Hehe, then I will give you two days. If you don''t agree, I don''t think you need to do business in Qingshui Town." Shopkeeper Chang gave him a threatening glance. One kick over a table, the bowl on the table crackled to pieces.


    The shopkeeper Chang snorted and left with satisfaction.


    Zhong Ziqi was relieved when the three of them walked far away. He felt sweaty behind his back, and his arms were tight. Zhao Zhengan was angry. If he hadn''t held it tightly, Zhong Ziqi would have no doubt that this guy would Rush up to fight them.


    "It''s too much." Zhao Ninghong said angrily. He was really frightened. He has lived in the village since he was a child and occasionally enters the town. He has only heard how terrifying the rich people are, but there is no real truth. I have seen that even the scorpions in the village are not so cruel.


    Zhong Ziqi is okay. After all, he is an adult in his twenties, and he has seen more and more people. At least he will not be shocked by such a scene, but he does not deny that he is indeed shocked.


    "Daughter-in-law, he is bad, bullying his wife!" Zhao Zhengan stared in anger. It was also the first time he saw such a scene. He was both scared and angry for fear that he would hurt his wife. Even though he was gone, he still sabotaged. The things of the daughter-in-law.


    "Hey, you will be in trouble if you provoke him!" Uncle Song next door shook his head and sighed, his voice filled with worry.


    "This kind of thing is not once or twice. I can often meet it on the dock. In contrast, I just kicked over a table, which is still gentle. In the past, there was a brother who made seafood on the dock. He He was particularly hard-hearted because of his good craftsmanship. At that time, half of the guests who came to the dock for dinner went to eat him. Unexpectedly, he was spotted by the surname Chang, and he was almost crippled in the end." Uncle Song said here. There was a pause.


    "What happened later?" Zhao Sheng asked, and everyone had a vague guess.


    really.


    "Later, he also had to compromise, and gave the recipe to the surname Chang. This Changshun restaurant has always acted cunningly and cruelly. He was helpless and afraid that he would compromise with his own family. Nowadays, he compromised. He no longer set up a stall to do business, and went home to farm steadily." Uncle Song sighed after speaking, with helplessness and regret in his eyes.


    For a while, the atmosphere in this small place was depressed and silent.


    "What can we do? Our business has just been done, so do we have to..." Zhao Ning almost cried out in a hurry, Liushen Wuzhu.


    Zhao Sheng also looked serious, but he was also weak in his heart. If a fight can solve the problem, then he can rush up as a man immediately, but this is not such a simple thing, the twists and turns involved behind it I didn''t even dare to think about it around him.


    Zhong Ziqi took a deep breath and laughed suddenly: "Don''t worry, I know what to do!" He made a decision last night and will catalyze it today, but this Changshun restaurant is too arrogant, otherwise He can also consider whether to sell the formula to him. What a pity... he Zhong Ziqi is not a person who can be threatened. The harder you are, the harder he is. He is not **** the surface, but hard in his heart, but in his heart. He was very stubborn. From the fact of collecting vegetables, we can see that he is a person who must pay for it. How could it be cheaper to them? He would rather give it away to others than to make them happy.


    Zhao Zhengan looked anxious on the side. He was infected by this nervous atmosphere. Can he hear that the man seems to be coming back, and he will bully his wife when he comes back? He doesn''t allow (¨t_¨s)


    "Ziqi, don''t do anything!" Zhao Sheng said worriedly. I was afraid that he would follow the old path of the person mentioned by Uncle Song just now.


    "That''s right, Ziqi, let''s sell it to him if it''s a big deal. Safety is of the utmost importance. You can make money with your craftsmanship." Zhao Ning also said anxiously.


    "You guys, it¡¯s too naive. If you really tell Changshun the formula, they will buy it at a very low price. Some even sell the formula and you will encounter robbery. I don¡¯t even mention you. "Uncle Song said, he really likes these children and doesn''t want them to suffer. It''s just that the people in this world are dark and complicated, and he can''t give them shelter. He can only pray that they will be safe and sound.

 Chapter 24: low

    "Okay, don''t worry, I have a sense of measure." Zhong Ziqi''s gentle smile as always, without a trace of sorrow, as if nothing could stump him, making others unconsciously believe it.


    "Okay, let''s be here today, there are not many people left or right, let''s go back." After the episode just now, no one was interested in the booth. Many vendors looked at them with gloat and felt that there was no strong opponent.


    That''s okay, Zhong Ziqi took the opportunity to close the stall, and he was in no mood to put it down.


    "Huh? Why do you come back so early today?" Huang Ama asked a few people suspiciously. Uncle Huang also walked out of the room when he heard the sound.


    "Ah, there are some things, so I plan to go back early today. This is the rent for today." Zhong Ziqi handed the four copper plates to Huang Ah, his smile was not noticeable, only Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng smiled reluctantly.


    Sending the four away, Huang Ama turned around and said solemnly to Uncle Huang, "These children are not quite right, is there something wrong?"


    Uncle Huang also frowned. They were all human beings. Why couldn''t they see it? Brother Qi hid it well, but Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ning couldn''t hide everything at all. It was easy to write everything on their faces.


    "I''m going to find out." Uncle Huang flicked his clothes and opened the door to go out. There are quite a few people who know him on the dock to find out.


    Huang Ah Mo waited anxiously at home, always feeling uneasy, and soon Uncle Huang came back, his face was not good looking with a trace of sadness.


    "How? Is something wrong?" Huang A asked anxiously, hoping that he was thinking too much.


    "I heard that Changshun Restaurant is coming to make trouble."


    "What? This¡ªwhat can I do? Poor child! Just over some!!!" Huang Ama was startled. They were all people living in the town. They knew too much about the forces in this town.


    Jinhua Restaurant is the largest restaurant in the town. The forces behind them are beyond the reach of the dust and dare not provoke them. It is very mysterious. The Changshun Restaurant is just like the Jinhua Restaurant, and there are forces behind them, and the county grandfather of Fengyang City is their force behind the scenes.


    Fengyang City is a city around Qingshui Town. It is a distance from Qingshui Town. You also need to take a waterway to get there. The Chang family is a small family there. The reason why they dare to be so unscrupulous is because the Chang family has a long appearance. The beautiful brother, is it exaggerating no one, they don''t know, but this brother was favored by the magistrate of the county grandfather, and he was almost on par with his original counterpart.


    This brother was pampered with gold and silver gifts that he usually took to his home, which caused the Chang''s family to become more and more arrogant. This brother¡¯s younger brother is also a savvy man. Although he was a bit rubbish, he still relied on his brother¡¯s subsidy to open a restaurant, that is, the restaurant in Qingshui Town. If you ask why it is not opened in Fengyang City, the reason is Fengyang City. The restaurant is quite saturated. Second, the original partner of the county grandfather also has some influence in Fengyang City, so they opened the restaurant to stay away from Fengyang City to avoid collision with them.


    Now the treasurer of Chang is also a relative of their Chang family. He is so lazy to cook. Now that his family is great, he has begun to dominate. However, Changshun can become the second largest restaurant in Qingshui Town, and it is not without strength. In addition to the signature dishes, many characteristics are obtained by this.


    And especially the enemy Jinhua Restaurant, because Jinhua Restaurant dominates the town, regardless of whether Changshun is the second largest restaurant, only they know the gap between them.


    This has also led to the fact that all the Jinhua restaurants valued must be taken over. Among them, the people behind the Jinhua restaurant do not often show up. Usually friction and hostility are not a big deal, but the real fight is still not dare. It''s this incomprehensibility that makes people daunting.


    Now Changshun''s shopkeeper, Changshun, is walking sideways in this town, and no one is afraid or not afraid. This brother Qi is in trouble for him.


    All the way back to Zhaojiacun silently. Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng wanted to go to Zhong Ziqi to think about countermeasures, but he refused: "I know how to do it. Go back and tell Zhao Amo to not accept the dishes, and leave the rest with you first."


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng had a bad feeling in their hearts, and went back home three times in the last step.


    The smiling face that Zhong Ziqi had maintained for a day also slowly retracted.


    "Daughter-in-law, don''t be unhappy, Zhengan will protect his daughter-in-law." Zhao Zhengan looked worriedly at the daughter-in-law who was exuding low pressure. He was not afraid at all, only worried.


    "En. I believe you." Zhong Ziqi smiled absent-mindedly and walked home all the way home.


    Zhao Zhengan cautiously surrounded Zhong Ziqi and did not dare to disturb him. When Zhong Ziqi saw his appearance amused, he touched his head and felt a little upset. For the first time he realized the horror of this evil force.


    In modern times, there are legal restrictions, but no one dare to be so high-profile. In ancient times, the emperor is far away, and the people have no human rights. As long as they have a little money, they can trample people under their feet, and there is no place to stand. Feel the sadness of the little man this time.


    But he won''t give in just like that, he doesn''t ask for any great wealth, he can always do it in his spare life, and he will find a way to remove all obstacles one by one.


    "Hungry, I''m going to cook." After trying to understand, Zhong Ziqi got up and walked into the kitchen.


    "I''ll help my wife." Zhao Zhengan followed.


    Da Hei and Xiao Hei ran from outside the house, wagging their tails, and wanted to follow them into the kitchen. Zhao Zhengan stopped, and his wife said that they shouldn''t let them in the kitchen that would stain the food.


    "Woo Wang," Xiao Hei called out with his watery eyes open.


    "You can''t enter, your daughter-in-law won''t let you go, go play in the yard." Zhao Zhengan took a big bone from the cabinet and threw it to them. Da Hei and Xiao Hei immediately stopped worrying about the kitchen, and ran away happily with his bones in his mouth.


    At noon, I was in no mood to eat. Zhong Ziqi simply made two bowls of cold noodles, boiled two eggs and put them in, and they were delicious.


    After eating, Zhong Ziqi packed up his dishes and stood in the bedroom thinking for a while. Begin to ruin the cabinets.


    Zhao Zhengan was startled and asked nervously; "Daughter-in-law, what are you looking for, Zhengan will help you find it!"


    "You are standing there."


    Zhong Ziqi took out the clothes he brought from the last time, mainly Zhao Zhengan''s torn clothes. Since starting to set up a stall, Zhong Ziqi has forgotten except for buying a piece of clothing for the two of them at the beginning. I haven''t been willing to throw away the torn clothes these days, and now they are just being used.


    Throw one of them to Zhao Zhengan: "Replace it."


    Zhao Zhengan took the clothes and changed them without asking. Zhong Ziqi turned his back to change for himself. He wants to enter the city again, but this time he must be low-key, so that he cannot be recognized.


    However, it took Zhong Ziqi to wear the clothes before I could feel how torn the clothes were, especially the sleeves and hem and other places. At first glance, I was doing rough work. I couldn''t help but feel a little distressed, but there was no time to think about it . Wearing another good one outside the clothes, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan went out.


    The two went to Zhao Ershu''s house in the village first. Zhong Ziqi didn''t want to care about the copper plates anymore. He planned to enter the town in a carriage and make a quick decision.


    There is a kid in Uncle Zhao¡¯s family who is married. The child is three years old. The family is harmonious and harmonious. When Zhong Ziqi left, the family was sitting at the table for dinner. Hearing Zhong Ziqi''s intention, Zhao Ershu got up to set the car after eating the last bite of the meal in the bowl.


    "Brother Qi, have you two eaten? Have some food here?" Zhao Ershu''s family greeted enthusiastically. Their dishes were the first batch of dishes purchased by Zhao Ama. Later, I heard that Zhong Ziqi took it back. Thank you very much, I think this kid is good.


    "No, ah, we''re done eating, you guys eat quickly, I will disturb you at noon." Zhong Ziqi smiled embarrassedly.


    "If you don''t bother me, I''ll stop by when I have time, just to talk to my Reiko."


    Lingzi was his daughter-in-law, and she smiled shyly at Zhong Ziqi. The fat baby in his arms also showed a dimple to stop Zhong Ziqi.


    "Yes, certainly."


    At this time, Zhao Ershu had set up the carriage, and Zhong Ziqi said goodbye to them and got into the carriage.

 Chapter 25: Sell

    At the gate of the town, Zhao Ershu''s carriage could not be driven in, and could only be left outside. Zhao Ershu was uneasy and stayed outside the city to guard it.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan took off their coats to reveal the torn clothes inside, messed up their hair a little, and lowered their heads and went inside. Simply their look is very common in the town, because beggars also have this look, and other people will dislike them when they see it.


    Jinhua restaurant is easy to find, because it is a large restaurant and it''s high, so you can tell at a glance. Just go in that direction. Fortunately, Changshun Restaurant and Jinhua are separated by a street, so they won''t meet each other.


    It was noon when people came and went in the Jinhua restaurant, which was really lively. Zhong Ziqi stood at the door and watched for a while before pulling Zhao Zhengan in.


    "Guest, come here for the first time, what do you want?" Xiaoer Dian greeted the two with a decent smile on his face, not because Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan were in ragged clothes and looked down upon them. At this point, I was very satisfied: "Where is your shopkeeper? I have something to discuss with him."


    Xiao Er looked at him and shouted inside: "The shopkeeper, someone is looking for it."


    "Come on!" After a while, the figure of the treasurer Jin slowly appeared in front of everyone: "Who is looking for me?"


    The shopkeeper pointed to Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan, and then turned to greet the others.


    Jin Sheng narrowed his eyes: "You are?"


    "The treasurer of gold is really forgotten by the nobles. We met not long ago." Zhong Ziqi said unhurriedly.


    When the treasurer Jin heard the voice, he felt familiar. After a closer look, he finally remembered who it was: "It''s you, look at my memory, come in quickly, by the way, I don''t know what the two are called." In fact, I don''t blame the treasurer. I didn''t think of them. Many days have passed since the last time I met. The shopkeeper Jin thought that the other party was unwilling to sell, so he forgot about it. It''s strange that he can recognize it as soon as he is dressed like this.


    "My name is Zhong Ziqi, and he is my husband Zhao Zhengan."


    Jin Sheng took the two to a single room on the second floor, and ordered Xiao Er to serve some tea before sitting down. Some dumbfoundingly looked at the dress of the two of them: "How do you dress like this?" He doesn''t think Zhong Ziqi has no money to buy clothes, is it possible that business is so hot?


    Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly: "A word is hard to say." With a sigh, Zhong Ziqi narrated the affairs of Changshun Restaurant. Shopkeeper Jin is not surprised. This kind of thing happens often, and he is used to it. What interests him is that this brother is very special and feels very different.


    "Then you found here today, did you agree to my proposal?" The shopkeeper Jin asked.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled bitterly: "I''m afraid I can''t do anything if I don''t agree, but if the shopkeeper can agree to one of my requirements, then I can sell you two other dishes to ensure that you don''t have it." This is his only bargaining chip, and it is also practical. Bargaining chips.


    "What conditions?"


    "Let Changshun Restaurant no longer trouble us."


    Shopkeeper Jin smiled: "Behind the Changshun restaurant is the magistrate of Fengyang City, how could I..."


    Zhong Ziqi interrupted him: "The shopkeeper Jin is joking. Who doesn¡¯t know that Jinhua is behind a more mysterious force. If the shopkeeper doesn¡¯t agree, then forget it. I won¡¯t do business anymore. What about selling the recipe to other restaurants? You can make a lot of money, right?" Zhong Ziqi poured a cup of tea for Zhao Zhengan and watched him frown and drank it with disgust. Zhong Ziqi played with the teacup and smelled it and knew it was inferior tea.


    Jin Sheng didn¡¯t speak, and put his hands on the table and tapped. Just like Zhong Ziqi said, the county grandfather of Fengyang City didn¡¯t pay attention to them at all. If they moved their mouths, they wouldn¡¯t dare to intervene. In the words of their young masters, words that are worthless are not worth their shots at all. It''s too high-profile! Then the value of this white and tender little brother...Well, he admits that he can''t understand him, but his request is also quite tempting to him, so let''s do it.


    "Okay, I promise you, and I hope you can do what you said." Zhong Ziqi secretly relieved and smiled: "Treasurer Jin, don''t worry, you won''t be disappointed."


    The shopkeeper Jin got up and asked Xiao Er to bring pens and papers. Zhong Ziqi didn''t pretend to pick up the pen and start writing the formula. This surprised the treasurer Jin. He thought he could not write, but he did not expect that he could read and hyphenate.


    The characters in this world are not too difficult, but they are a bit more cumbersome. Many characters are similar to modern characters. Moreover, he has the memory of the original body, so he hasn''t figured it out yet, so he has already written it quickly.


    "This is my recipe for two kinds of noodles. It comes with a sour bamboo shoot. How about not losing it." Zhong Ziqi looked like I was grandiose.


    The shopkeeper Jin picked up the two recipes and caught his eye. The elegant and atmospheric fonts did not look like a country guy would write. A closer look at the content inside made the shopkeeper Jin admire even more, because it was so simple! I don''t know how he came up with it.


    The treasurer put down the formula and said sincerely: "It''s amazing!"


    Zhong Ziqi smiled modestly; "Where and where, I usually mess around."


    The treasurer did not pretend to take out an ingot of silver from his arms: "This is ten taels of silver, and the remaining two prescriptions are calculated separately."


    When Zhong Ziqi saw Yinzi for the first time, he was very curious. He believed that the treasurer would definitely not hold down the price. One tael of silver in this country is equivalent to 2,000 copper plates. This shows how much money is made by the dishes. He has only been close to this number after selling for so long.


    "Can the treasurer give me some copper, so that it is convenient to spend." Zhong Ziqi said embarrassedly, not leaking money, holding the big silver ingot is too conspicuous, it is simply telling others that I have money.


    "I didn''t think about it well, Qin Zi?" The treasurer yelled again.


    The shopkeeper came in: "The shopkeeper."


    "Go and get fifty taels of broken silver, plus ten pennies to send here."


    "Yes." Xiao Er opened the door and went out, and soon came in again, holding a tray covered with cloth in his hand, and placing it on the table.


    The treasurer Jin waved to him to go down, opened the cloth, and put the exchanged money board inside. The treasurer Jin pushed towards Zhong Ziqi: "You put them away, what do you write about those two?"


    Zhong Ziqi carefully placed it in her pocket, and thought for a while: "Tomorrow, I will be here in the morning." After finishing talking, Zhong Ziqi pulled Zhao Zhengan to his feet: "I''ll go back first, and I hope the treasurer will take care of the next thing. Take it to heart."


    The shopkeeper Jin smiled and said, "Don''t worry. I''m Mr. Jin who speaks and counts."


    Zhong Ziqi pulled Zhao Zhengan downstairs with satisfaction, and the whole restaurant was enveloped in a fragrant smell. He saw Zhao Zhengan staring at the delicious food, and touched his head: "Buy you delicious food."


    Zhao Zhengan immediately looked at his wife with joy.


    The restaurant is too expensive to sell. Besides, Zhong Ziqi will make those dishes. If Zhao Zhengan wants to eat it, he can just buy the ingredients and make it. He went into a pastry shop and bought a pack of pastries. It cost him ten cents, which was really expensive. Fortunately, it tastes good, so I don¡¯t care about those.


    When I went out, I went to the clothing store to buy two clothes for them. The clothing was expensive, half the price of the material. Zhong Ziqi had to buy it even if he gritted his teeth. Who told him he could not make clothes.


    At the moment when he handed out the money, Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help thinking, should he learn to make clothes?

 Chapter 26: Chicken

    After shopping, Zhong Ziqi and two went to Uncle Huang''s house. Huang Ama opened the door and saw that they were both happy and worried.


    "Ah Huang, Uncle Huang" Zhong Ziqi said hello calmly, as if nothing happened.


    "Brother Qi..." Huang Ama looked at him hesitantly.


    Zhong Ziqi knew that things could not be hidden from them: "Have you heard about me?"


    "I know it all." Uncle Huang sighed, and the whole wharf was dressed up and down. Most of them were gloating and a few were sorry.


    "Brother Qi, this Changshun restaurant is not easy to provoke, but there is the county grandfather behind it. We flat-headed people can''t afford to provoke it, no-let''s sell it." Huang Ama said worriedly.


    Zhong Ziqi felt warm in her heart and knew that the old couple was really good for him. The old couple had a son throughout their lives. They were conscripted the year before, and now it''s almost three years. They will write letters back in the first two years, but this year they have also confiscated one of them. When I arrived, the old couple was anxious, but there was no way. The appearance of Zhong Ziqi just diverted the attention of the two. The four vigorous and childish figures gave them spiritual sustenance and full of liking, yes. The son''s worries have also been diluted a lot.


    "Ah, uncle, don''t worry, I have already sold the recipe." Zhong Ziqi said plainly, but surprised the people who listened.


    "Sold it? Who did you sell it to?" Huang Amae and Uncle Huang were stunned.


    "Sold it to Jinhua Restaurant."


    "Jinhua...this...Qi brother, although Jinhua is good, but what if Changshun comes to trouble?" Uncle Huang frowned and asked.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled beautifully: "Jinhua promised to help me make things smooth, so please put your heart in your stomach now."


    "Hey...this feeling is good." Huang Ama immediately disappeared from the sadness on his face. Jinhua Restaurant has a great position in their hearts. Just because Jinhua has been in business for so many years, no one dares to ask for trouble. It can be seen in general.


    "Alright, Brother Qi has any plans in the future?" Uncle Huang asked.


    "I haven''t figured it out yet." Zhong Ziqi answered honestly: "I''m here to tell you that I will not rent the cart for the time being. I will decide what to do after I think about it."


    "Okay, then you-come over and have a look when you have nothing to do." Huang Ama said reluctantly. There seems to be only such a little bond between them.


    "I will, I won''t forget the help of Uncle Huang and Ama Huang." This is the only person who is unfamiliar with each other but is willing to help him. He will not be ungrateful.


    He came out of Huang A¡¯ma¡¯s house and took away the miscellaneous things that belonged to him. He was obviously very heavy on his back, but Zhong Ziqi actually felt a lot more relaxed. It was a relaxation of mind. The spirit was tense for more than half a month. Now it is considered to be a lot of relief. You can take a break.


    "This husband will buy some chickens!" Zhong Ziqi''s chaotic mood was called back to his senses. It turned out that he happened to be here to sell chickens, ducks and geese. There are living and dead, big ones and small chicks just broken, fluffy and chirping super cute.


    Zhao Zhengan was already squatting there and watching with gusto, occasionally stretched out his hand to frighten away a large area, making him giggle.


    "How much is one?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him with bright eyes. Zhong Ziqi found that every time he was happy, his eyes would brighten, like two big light bulbs, which made people couldn''t help being attracted.


    Although he doesn¡¯t have much breeding experience, he can learn it. In this era, eggs and everything are very expensive. It¡¯s better to raise them by yourself, eat eggs if you raise them, and eat chicken after raising them. It¡¯s all worth it. It''s easier to raise.


    Throwing some grass every day can make it grow very big in a flash=_=.


    "One small two-cent, one big three-cent, which one do you want?"


    Of course, Zhong Ziqi wants to buy a larger one. The smaller one should not be long enough to be broken, and the body is not strong enough. In case it is a pity that he is a novice to support him, it is better to be a big one-tolerating toss.


    "Brother, I want to buy a larger one, can I make it cheaper?"


    "This is really super low price." The chicken seller also said embarrassedly.


    When Zhong Ziqi saw a scene, he bargained with him. At the end of five cents, Zhong Ziqi bought ten, eight hens and two roosters. By the way, he bought a small chicken coop, which was made of straw.


    Zhao Zhengan was carrying a lot of things on his back, holding the henhouse with ten chickens in his hand, with a smirk, he was very happy to see that he was not too tired.


    "Zheng''an, the chicken will be served by you, okay?" Zhong Ziqi said jokingly when Zhao Zhengan liked it.


    Zhao Zhengan nodded seriously, "What do they eat?"


    "Eat grass, there are bugs."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded and said that he had written it down, thinking that in the future, the hen lays eggs for the daughter-in-law to eat.


    Out of the city gate, I found Zhao Ershu, put the things on it, and the two jumped into the car. Zhao Ershu didn''t ask them much what they were doing, but said: "Sit down." Then he drove far away in the carriage.


    When he arrived in the village, Zhong Ziqi handed the money to Ershu Zhao and went home with Zhao Zhengan.


    Opening the door, the **** and the little black playing in the yard rushed over happily and barked a few times. They have been familiar with getting along these days, they are not restrained, but they can toss hard.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled helplessly. He forgot that there are still these two at home. It seems that he must surround a fence as soon as possible, otherwise the chicken will be eaten by the dog as a delicious meal before he grows up.


    Put the chicken coop and the chickens on a chair, remove the bamboo basket on the back, and put all the seasoning pots and pans in the kitchen cabinet.


    After doing this, Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan to look after the house at home, and he went to Zhao Amo''s house.


    Zhao Ama apparently heard the news from Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng''s mouth, thinking about going to Zhong Ziqi''s house at noon to ask about his plans, but neither of them were at home.


    Zhong Ziqi came here without concealing and telling the situation: "I just went to sell the recipe to Jinhua, which is the largest restaurant in town. They promised me to settle the matter, you don''t have to worry." Then he paused: "Ah Zhao , Don¡¯t accept the food from today, I will take the rest home."


    Zhao Ama, mother and son, obviously hadn''t recovered from the shock. Instead, Zhao Baogen said in a dull voice: "Come back and work on the ground." As an honest farmer, Zhao Baogen has no ambitions or great capabilities. He has never been out of Qingshui Town in his life, and he has been diligent all his life. I only think that farming is the safest and most reassuring.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t refute but just said that he thought about it, and he also thought about farming. In his future plans, one way is to be a big landlord, buy a lot of land and then rent it to others, how leisurely!


    But it''s still early, take advantage of the momentum and rush forward.


    After sitting at Zhao Ama''s house and talking for a long time, Zhong Ziqi went home. When I got to the head of the village, I swerved to the field of his home. During this time, I was so busy forgetting what happened. Following the memory of the last time, I walked to their home. At this time, the rice was already very high. It is estimated that it will be harvested in a month.


    Zhong Ziqi was an out-and-out urbanite in her previous life. In addition to the written knowledge, there is also the experience of going to the countryside organized by the school when he was in school. He has never really been exposed to farm work, but there is one thing he knows that he will be very tired.


    When he got home, Zhao Zhengan was breaking the grass to feed the chicks. The chicks were not birds, and he was not impatient and still seriously attracted their attention.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at it for a while, and suddenly realized that Zhao Zhengan was really attentive. Unlike other guys who were careless and careless, he would be the first to find out when he was unhappy. When he ate less, he would pinch himself. There is a bowl full of vegetables, and he has to rush to make it for his own good.


    It seems that even a normal person can do this level!


    How could he not be moved!


    How can you not-warm your heart!

 Chapter 27: idea

    It was still early, and before it was time to cook, Zhong Ziqi greeted Zhao Zhengan: "Let''s go to the mountain and put the chicken away."


    Zhao Zhengan immediately put the chicken on the chair obediently, and then happily went out with his wife.


    Zhong Ziqi wanted to go up the mountain to chop some branches to make a fence for the chickens, so as not to be too busy one day to forget. The branches in the mountains were not easy to cut because of the dampness. After Zhong Ziqi tried a few times, his hands hurt, and finally he was picked up by Zhao Zhengan, who loves his wife.


    Looking at someone alive and powerful, Zhong Ziqi comforted herself that this is the body of a little brother, and it is normal to have no strength, as long as we have a man''s heart.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t want Zhao Zhengan to work too hard. He simply started picking up branches around the surrounding trees, but only picked up and picked up, and the speed slowed down. Zhong Ziqi''s attention was attracted by the mountain of fruit trees, and the ripe fruits were scattered everywhere. , From time to time, a bird fell there and took a bite.


    Zhong Ziqi was very enthusiastic about Manshan''s resources, and if he made good use of it, it would be a waste of money. So what can fruits do?


    1. It can be canned fruit.


    2. Make dried fruit or jam.


    Third, it is wine making.


    The first two Zhong Ziqi are not optimistic. The market is too small. It''s okay to make snacks to make a small amount of money in his spare time. If you want to make a lot of money, the latter is more reliable. Dazeguo does not have fruit wine, but high-concentration white wine. The lowest alcohol is rice wine. So Zhong Ziqi is still more optimistic about this market.


    It''s just that this wine is not a short-term job. It takes at least one month to make the wine, not to mention that if you want to make the wine more mellow, you have to take a longer time, so he still has to think of another job in the middle.


    The two had enough branches, and one of them walked home with difficulty carrying a large bundle. Take advantage of the fact that it is not dark, quickly surround the fence, considering that the chickens will grow up in the future, the fence should be wider and taller to prevent the chickens from flying out.


    After I was so busy doing it, the sun had already set, and the sky turned from bright to gray.


    "Well, you go to the meeting, are you hungry? I''m going to cook." Zhong Ziqi wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and let Zhao Zhengan go to rest.


    Zhao Zhengan wiped the sweat from his face and went to rest obediently.


    Zhong Ziqi went into the kitchen and washed his face before starting to cook dinner. Today, I bought a crucian carp in town. It seems that he has never eaten fish since he came here because he is not keen on seafood and other things. Had it not been for today, he would have forgotten like this forever.


    After filling the basin of water, Zhong Ziqi washed the fish carefully. The most annoying thing about making fish is to scrape the scales and clean up the internal organs. If it can be saved, he will save it. So when he buys fish, he gives an extra penny to sell the fish. Uncle''s packed up.


    Wash the fish, cut a few knives on both sides with a knife and set aside, wash the green onion, ginger, and red pepper and cut into shreds.


    Put firewood in the stove and light it.


    Pour a tablespoon of oil into the pan and heat it up, fry the crucian carp until golden brown on both sides, and serve.


    Add another spoonful of oil to the pot and saute the shallots, ginger, garlic, and red pepper. Then add two spoons of bone broth, salt, sugar, pepper rice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, rice wine to boil, add water and rice, and mix thoroughly, the last step is to pour the juice on the fish, a plate of hot and sour fish is made .


    There is still a lot of rice left in the morning, and it¡¯s good to put it in the pot while it¡¯s hot and stuffy.


    While taking advantage of this, Zhong Ziqi tripped another cucumber, a persimmon mixed with sugar. The cold noodle business can''t be done anymore, the vegetables are left, just because his family has no vegetables, and they don''t want to go to Wang Cuihua''s to pick them, they just leave them to eat.


    When the food is on the table, Zhao Zhengan obviously has a soft spot for hot and sour fish. Fish is more expensive than meat. Although Qingshui Town relies on water and has more seafood, the price is still high. There is no such thing as this fish. Money can''t buy it. Ordinary people would not be willing to pay for a fish. Moreover, the fish is not easy to make. If the average person can¡¯t make the taste, they give up. It¡¯s better to buy two catties of meat for the benefits, and if there is a river on the mountain or somewhere, They can go fishing if they want to eat.


    The Zhao family probably ate fish no more than three times a year. Before Zhao Zhengan said that he was stupid and couldn¡¯t eat enough to eat, and the meat was even harder to eat a piece of meat, let alone fish. He expressed him by action. I love it very much.


    Seeing this, Zhong Ziqi had to think about buying one every other time, to relieve his gluttony, but this picky eating problem was not accustomed to it. After eating meat frequently at home, Zhong Ziqi found that Zhao Zhengan only picked meat and vegetarian dishes were ignored. He had no choice but to supervise him. Eating only meat is not nutritionally balanced.


    I picked a chopsticks of cucumber and gave it to Zhao Zhengan. Zhong Ziqi said, "Be careful, don''t get it stuck."


    "Yeah" Zhao Zhengan nodded indiscriminately.


    In Fengyang City, in a luxurious big house, a lean man with gray hair respectfully sent a middle-aged man out the door. Then he returned to the house with a gloomy face and swept all the steaming tea cups on the table to the ground.


    One foot that stepped in at the door paused, and then a long, slightly seductive brother came in with a smile: "Master, who made you so angry?"


    The man who used to be attentive every time didn''t come over again this time, but looked at him with a gloomy face: "Tell your brother, give me some restraint, otherwise I don''t know how to die, don''t open a dye shop for some color. What! Don''t come to me if something happens."


    The seductive brother''s face became stiff, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.


    The man is too lazy to pay attention to him. He keeps one eye closed for what his little aunt usually does. It is said that he likes this aunt very much. He sneered. If it weren¡¯t for his good-looking face, he would treat him early. He abandoned it. He had always felt quite self-aware, but now it looks like a vase, but the brother of the Zhang family is quite good, gentle and considerate. He will pick a good day to quickly bring him back.


    The next day, Zhong Ziqi took the two dishes he wrote down last night and entered the town with Zhao Zhengan. Jin Sheng had been waiting for a long time, and it was still yesterday''s single room. Zhong Ziqi didn''t talk nonsense, and took out the two dishes to Jin Sheng.


    A three-cup chicken, a crispy crab palm, the following dish was written by Zhong Ziqi based on the restaurant''s situation. Half of the restaurant''s seafood is seafood, and he wrote that a seafood founder is symptomatic.


    Seeing the treasurer Jin looked carefully, Zhong Ziqi was still a little nervous. He didn''t know what dishes were in the restaurant, so he didn''t know if it was too heavy.


    "Qin Zi!" The shopkeeper Jin shouted.


    After a while, the shopkeeper opened the door and came in: "The shopkeeper."


    "Give these two recipes to the chef and let them make them." The shop Xiaoer took the recipe and went out.


    Zhong Ziqi knew that this was to test the dishes, he smiled: "I don''t know if it''s too heavy."


    Shopkeeper Jin shook his head: "Brother Qi is smart, I have never seen this recipe before."


    "They are all fooling around by themselves." Zhong Ziqi smiled embarrassedly.


    "By the way, I have taken care of Changshun''s affairs. I believe that as long as he doesn''t have a problem with his brain, he won''t come to trouble you again." Jin Sheng said.


    "Really? Thank you very much, treasurer Jin." Zhong Ziqi said in surprise. He didn''t expect the efficiency to be quite fast, and the rumors were true.


    The two of them sat in the room listening to the noise outside, chatting as you came and went. As time passed, the door of the room was knocked suddenly.


    "Come in." The shopkeeper who opened the door was still called Qin Zi. At this time, there were two hot dishes on the tray in his hand. The aroma was full, and he smelled it as soon as he entered the door.


    Jin Sheng picked up the chopsticks and tasted them one by one, and couldn''t help but thumb up.


    Zhong Ziqi was very calm. He handed Zhao Zhengan a pair of chopsticks to indicate that he could eat. He tasted it himself, and said after a long while: "The chef in your restaurant is amazing. I didn''t expect it to be so delicious the first time I made it."


    Shopkeeper Jin smiled triumphantly, his cook is not comparable to this small place, he is from his home.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had a meal in the restaurant and took away twelve taels of silver. Before leaving, the treasurer also told them that they could come to him again, and he would not treat him badly.

 Chapter 28: Winemaking

    After leaving Jinhua, Zhong Ziqi remembered her brewing plan, so she changed the route to another store, which specializes in living utensils.


    Zhong Ziqi wants to buy a wine-making jar. Some are tall, some have big hands, all kinds. Zhong Ziqi carefully selected four jars that were almost knee-sized and paid twelve cents.


    Back at home, Zhong Ziqi lay on the bed and rested for a while, tossing and tossing for these two days. Fortunately, his body has been much better after this period of exercise, otherwise he would get down early.


    Zhao Zhengan was stealing food for the little animals in the yard. He whispered to them while feeding, and occasionally chuckled twice.


    Zhong Ziqi feels that this kind of life is very good and fulfilling. In his previous life, his family had a lot of rules because it was a teacher. This is not allowed, which made him and his brother feel very depressed every time they go home, but they are still very depressed. Love this family, but now he can only entrust it to his brother, I don''t know if they are doing well.


    Zhong Ziqi found out in the confusion that it seemed that he hadn''t recalled his previous life for a long time, maybe those memories will gradually become dusty with time and his current life.


    After a short rest, Zhong Ziqi got up and went to the kitchen to watch the sun. It was about ten o''clock. Zhong Ziqi made a few pies with noodle fillings and had a meal in the restaurant. They were not too hungry. They ate one of them. Zhang, Zhong Ziqi wrapped the rest in oil paper, and Zhao Zhengan carried the three bamboo baskets at home and went up the mountain again.


    Zhong Ziqi''s direction of entering the mountain is a bit to the left due to geographic location, while people in the village are a bit to the right when entering the mountain. So they rarely meet other people, and there is no lack of Zhong Ziqi''s intentional elements.


    Because no one cares about it, the plants grow very well and there are a lot of ingredients. But Zhong Ziqi''s primary goal now is to pick fruit. Zhong Ziqi was held by Zhao Zhengan and walked across a hillside, where the fruit looks fuller and bigger.


    Zhong Ziqi pointed to a wild peach tree and said: "Zhengan, you pick peaches, pick the red ones, not the green ones."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded.


    Zhong Ziqi went to pick grapes, and there was a vine not far away, it was a small grape. Zhong Ziqi picked one and tasted it. It was a little bit sour and sweet. That''s it!


    Zhong Ziqi stood on tiptoe and carefully picked a bunch of them and placed them in a well-padded back basket. As soon as he glanced at Zhong Ziqi, he saw the unique green bugs of the vine. The chubby man was lying on the leaves with a thumb as big as he shivered. Goose bumps all over his body. He is most afraid of this mollusk. It is soft and weak. He played with it when he was young. When he grows up, he has to take a detour and doesn''t want to see it at first.


    But there was no way at the moment, Zhong Ziqi glanced at Zhao Zhengan not far away, gritted her teeth, hypnotized herself to see nothing at all, and then looked at the grapes without looking at the leaves without squinting. The grapes are easy to pick, and a basket is full after taking up space.


    Zhong Ziqi wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, even though the forest blocked a lot of sunlight, it was still hot. Carrying a basket on his back, Zhong Ziqi walked to Zhao Zhengan. Zhao Zhengan had already picked up half of the basket of peaches. He reached out and took off the back basket from his wife. His eyes were suddenly attracted: "Daughter-in-law, don''t move."


    Zhong Ziqi stopped moving immediately, and asked nervously, "What''s the matter?" He had a bad premonition.


    I saw Zhao Zhengan mobilize on his collar, and a hairy, gray hairy man was pinched in his hand by Zhao Zhengan, who was covered with fur, and brought it in front of him like a treasure.


    "Ah!!! Go away!!!" Zhong Ziqi yelled in anger, and took a big step back tightly.


    Zhao Zhengan stood at the same place helplessly, still keeping his hands raised, looking at her violently reacting daughter-in-law foolishly.


    Zhong Ziqi slowed his heart beating slowly, and took an angry look at the stupid standing person: "What are you holding for, do you want to eat?"


    Zhao Zhengan hurriedly threw the thing that was struggling, looked at him anxiously like a child making a mistake, and yelled, "Daughter-in-law..."


    Zhong Ziqi did not hide his fear: "I''m afraid of that thing, don''t use it to scare me!"


    Only then did Zhao Zhengan know what he did. He actually bullied his wife, which is simply unforgivable. Well, he remembered that his wife was afraid of this, but in fact... it''s not scary at all.


    "Daughter-in-law, you can go back, I can pick it." Zhao Zhengan saw something on the tree east and west, and he couldn''t bear to worry about his wife.


    Zhong Ziqi was still a little weak now, and he hesitated and asked him: "Can you do it all by yourself?" Although Zhao Zhengan was a little scared, he still slapped his chest.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Then you have to be careful, come back when you are done, don''t go far."


    "Got it."


    Zhong Ziqi handed the pie he had brought to Zhao Zhengan, then carried his grape basket on her back and went down the mountain. Their home is not very far from here, and one can see his house when standing here. This is also a place where Zhong Ziqi can rest assured, he can see his figure while sitting in the courtyard.


    When he got home, Zhong Ziqi drank a large bowl of cold water before starting to pick up these grapes. I found a large basin, sprinkled some salt, put the grapes in it, soaked it, washed it briefly, rinsed it with water several times, and dried it in the sun.


    After hammering the waist, Zhong Ziqi raised his head, and saw that the figure was still there, making him relieved. Sitting in the yard, turn over the grapes from time to time to let the grapes dry as soon as possible.


    Here Zhao Zhengan picked a basket of peaches and a basket of plums as ordered by his wife. He hugged one in front and one behind his back and carefully descended the mountain.


    Zhong Ziqi saw him coming down from a distance, and hurriedly got up to pick him up.


    "Silly, carry them one by one!" Zhong Ziqi took the basket in front of him.


    "Not tired." Zhao Zhengan touched his head and smiled.


    Entering the courtyard, Zhong Ziqi put down the basket, poured a bowl of water into the room and handed it to Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan drank it in one gulp. Then sit in the yard and eat cold pies. Seeing that the grapes were drying, Zhong Ziqi went into the house and took the jar out and put the grapes in. Carefully wash the hands and arms carefully, then reach into the jar and crush the grapes.


    Zhao Zhengan watched it interestingly, and wanted to try it.


    "Wash your hands clean."


    "Oh" Zhao Zhengan ran to the kitchen to wash his hands.


    "Just crush the grapes."


    Zhao Zhengan happily reached out and grabbed it inside.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t care if he went to clean up the plums and peaches on the side. This thing is not easy to clean up, you have to get the core out, and the rest is similar to the wine making.


    After Zhao Zhengan had basically crushed the grapes, Zhong Ziqi sprinkled half a bag of sugar, then sealed it with yellow mud, and directed Zhao Zhengan to place it in a cool place.


    It was getting darker and darker, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan were busy putting the peaches and plums in the empty room together with the wine.

 Chapter 29: You Tiao

    She slept beautifully all night, and the next day Zhong Ziqi woke up to find that the sky was gloomy outside, and it seemed that it was going to rain. He hurriedly took the mushrooms and cucumbers that were dried outside to the house, and covered the firewood in the yard to prevent it from getting wet.


    In the morning, Zhong Ziqi didn''t have any appetite, so he cooked a pot of rice porridge and made a braised bamboo shoot with oil. When Zhao Zhengan came to eat, Zhong Ziqi swears that he definitely saw a trace of disapproval. He triumphantly thought that the chef was what he had to eat what he did.


    Zhao Zhengan scratched his head. He hadn''t had porridge for a long time. Since he was with his wife, his three meals were white rice, and the minimum was two days with meat. So he was really surprised to see the porridge. But still sit down and eat obediently. Although he is picky eaters, he can eat anything if there is no meat.


    After dinner, Zhong Ziqi drove Zhao Zhengan away. He mixed a small bowl of noodles with salt and alkali in the kitchen, covered it with a lid, and waited for the noodles to rise. In order to be quicker, he went back to the house and took some clothes to cover.


    Then there was nothing to do, it was about to rain, and the sky was getting gloomy and he couldn''t do much.


    "Zheng''an, stop playing, catch the chicken back, it will rain for a while." Zhong Ziqi shouted at the courtyard.


    "Know it."


    Zhao Zhengan, who was having fun with Dahei Xiaohei, went into the henhouse to catch the chicks. Now the chicks are almost as big as one''s palm, and he runs unambiguously. Zhao Zhengan has turned several times. Catch it all. Put it in the chicken coop and bring it to the house. Two puppies followed barkingly behind their buttocks.


    Before noon arrived, there was rain in the sky, first pattering and then crashing.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan were sitting in the room listening to the rain outside. Except for the barking of the dog and the chirping of the chickens, no one spoke, but silence is better than the sound. They don¡¯t need to speak to prove their presence, because they already know that the person is right beside them. It¡¯s a strange feeling, but Let them enjoy it.


    The summer rain came and went quickly, and it finally stopped after an hour. The air after the rain has a different kind of freshness. The dark clouds dissipated, and the bright sun peeked out of the clouds, exuding a warm light.


    After the rain, the road was wet and hideous. Zhong Ziqi strictly ordered Zhao Zhengan and the two restless dogs not to go out and run. Zhao Zhengan nodded droopingly.


    "Hey, I''ll make good food for you tonight." Zhong Ziqi said.


    Sure enough, Zhao Zhengan''s eyes lit up again, instantly regaining his vitality. Food is indeed a powerful medicine, whoever tries it will make it easier.


    Rainy days are always particularly suitable for laziness. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan take a bite when they are hungry, and sleep in after eating. The afternoon is about to pass in a blink of an eye. Zhong Ziqi still remembered the noodles he made in the kitchen, and let Zhao Zhengan entertain himself. After finishing his clothes, he went into the kitchen.


    What can you do? He can steam buns, steamed buns, and can do many things. What he wants to do is deep-fried dough sticks.


    You tiao is a little troublesome to make, mainly because it needs to be left out. Zhong Ziqi has only made it once before and thinks it is better to buy it and not make it. This time he picked it up again, just to treat him as a novel food.


    Modern people love to eat so much, and I believe that ancient times will not be so bad.


    Carefully avoiding the puddles and entering the kitchen, opened the tightly covered basin, the surface inside was already bubbling and swelling.


    Zhong Ziqi washed his hands, kneaded the noodles, rolled the noodles, then Zhong Ziqi cut the noodles into small strips about ten centimeters long and one centimeter wide, and stretched them together into small strips, and put them aside, and so on. There are about thirty in total.


    "Zhengan? Zhengan?" Zhong Ziqi shouted at the door.


    "Daughter-in-law?" Zhao Zhengan ran over in a hurry.


    "Come and help me set the fire."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded, sitting by the stove and setting fire skillfully.


    Zhong Ziqi poured one-third of the oil into the pot, which was too much waste, and he poured less. At best, it was a little bit slower.


    When the oil is hot, Zhong Ziqi puts the noodles in the pot, and the noodles instantly change color. As the oil rolls up and down, it becomes golden yellow in a short while. Zhong Ziqi takes it out and puts it in a basin to dry, and then continues to fry. leftover.


    Although a heavy rain has brought down the hot temperature a lot, the heat in the kitchen is always unmatched.


    "Okay, Zhengan doesn''t need to burn it. Take the next one and try if it tastes good."


    Zhao Zhengan cleaned his hands and immediately picked one up, and opened his mouth regardless of whether it was hot or not.


    "delicious!"


    Zhao Zhengan laughed contentedly, finished one in two bites, and then took another one.


    Zhong Ziqi sent him aside to eat, so as not to be splashed by the oil. When Zhong Ziqi fried all the fried dough sticks, Zhao Zhengan sat there full of food, still full of aftertaste.


    Zhong Ziqi visually ate at least six or seven of them. Two fried dough sticks are combined, so he ate more than ten. Zhong Ziqi helped his forehead. This is him. No one is willing to support him. If he doesn''t work, he won¡¯t work. Said that the appetite is not small.


    Zhong Ziqi also picked up one and took a careful sip, um...fortunately, the craftsmanship has not regressed. He was full after eating three sticks, scooped out the oil in the pot and put it away, tidying up the kitchen. He took out a pot of Zhong Ziqi and installed more than ten deep-fried dough sticks: "You look at the house at home, and I will go to Zhao Ama''s house and give them a taste. No one is allowed to open the door."


    "Remember my wife." Zhao Zhengan said.


    Zhong Ziqi took out a piece of oiled paper and covered the basin out the door.


    As soon as I arrived at the village, I met someone head-on.


    "Yo, Brother Qi, why didn''t you go out to do business? The business is very hot, right? It''s really different from those of us who are poor."


    This is the first family in the village with the surname Li. People usually call him Li. He is one of the few people who is close to Wang Cuihua. It was also one of the few people in the village that Zhao Ama refused to accept. This shows how deep his grievances he has.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at this triumphant and ridiculous person in a strange way. Did something happen that he didn''t know? The villain can be so rampant!


    Zhong Ziqi just yelled Li Aame politely and ignored him.


    Li Ama looked at the distant back with jealousy and resentment in his eyes. Every household in the village basically made dozens of dollars, but their family was turned away every time. How could he not resent him, seeing that he did not have oneself. For the family''s sake, the mouth of his family gave him a face, but Li Ah didn''t know what he thought of and gave him a sip: "Nothing to be proud of, right? It deserves it!" Then he twisted and walked away.


    Zhong Ziqi arrived at Zhao A Mo''s house. The door of their house was wide open. He knocked on the door and shouted, "Is Zhao A Mo at home?"


    "Here, Brother Qi!" Zhao Ama''s voice came from the room.


    It was Zhao Ning who opened the door, and he ran over in surprise: "Why are you here, Ziqi?" If it hadn''t rained, he would still want to go and see him.


    "Send you something delicious." Zhong Ziqi smiled and followed him into the house.


    "What is it?" Zhao Ning asked happily.


    Entering the room, the other three of Zhao''s family were also there, and Zhong Ziqi greeted each other.


    "Brother Qi, what else can you bring when you come?" Zhao Ama complained, but he was still very happy, indicating that Brother Qi was close to his home.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and said, "It''s not a good thing, you can try it yourself." Zhong Ziqi opened the oil paper, revealing the golden fritters inside and steaming.


    "Huh, what is this?" Zhao Ning reached out for one curiously, and was glared by Zhao Aye. He took a bite: "Well, it''s delicious, it''s still hot."


    Zhao Amo went into the kitchen and took the bowls and chopsticks and handed them to others. He undoubtedly won the praise of everyone. Zhong Ziqi told them that this is a new idea he came up with. When the weather is good, he will reopen it. Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng went to help.


    Zhao Baogen didn''t say anything, Zhao Ama waved his hand and said that you don''t dislike the clumsy and let them follow.

 Chapter 30: business

    It was a sunny day, and Qingshui Town was as lively as ever. A group of people gathered at the South Pier in Qingshui Town.


    Some newcomers who don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on just ask the people on the side: "What''s the matter? There are so many people around!"


    The person in question looked at him and asked: "This is the first time you come to the dock?"


    The man nodded scratchingly.


    "This is the hottest snack in our pier. They were robbed of it without crowding around."


    The man looked at the huge team suddenly and in horror. How hot is this? He also squeezed into the ranks of those who did not believe in evil, squeezing around for a long time before reaching him.


    "How much do you want?" a handsome and beautiful man asked without raising his head.


    "Um...how much is one?"


    "Two pennies each."


    The man hesitated looking at the big pot of golden things: "Two."


    The delicate little brother quickly wrapped two sticks in oil paper and handed them to him: "Pay the money here." Standing next to his brother was a man who looked a little like him, tall and handsome.


    "Go." Someone urged behind.


    The man hurriedly stretched out his hand and handed the four cents to the man. After crowding out the crowd, the man couldn''t wait to open the oil paper and take a bite. At that moment, he regretted it, not that he had spent the money, but that he hadn''t bought two more. It was so delicious.


    Such a hot crowd was caused by Zhong Ziqi. Today is the third day when he has set up a new stall. He originally wanted to visit the North Pier, but considering that he needs to reintegrate there when he arrives at the North Pier, it is better to be at the South Pier. His regular customers are all there. Here, he verified his ideas on the first day of opening. Many people complained about this stall that had been closed for a long time. Now Jinhua Restaurant is selling cold noodles. Everyone knows that the stall owner sold the delicious cold noodles to Jinhua. Many people regret that each person has a taste, but they still feel that this young brother''s cooking is more flavorful.


    It¡¯s just that I didn¡¯t expect the stall owner who had disappeared for many days to reappear and bring more delicious and delicious things. Zhong Ziqi''s stall is well-known in the South Wharf. The most eye-catching thing is the four young and beautiful half-elder children who make delicious food. If the combination of the two is not famous, it is weird.


    The news spread on the pier, and soon the news of Zhong Ziqi carrying delicious food spread. Many people came to see the news. Most of them wanted to see what kind of delicious food came out. Of course, the results did not disappoint. This is called fried dough sticks. It¡¯s so delicious to burst, it can be eaten cold or hot. The boss also said that it can be left for three days. Not to mention that these rough masters who live in the town come here from time to time to buy a few and go home. Improve meals.


    Especially when Zhong Ziqi bought five and got one free, and when he bought ten and got two free, it caused looting. Many people looked at him as if he was stupid again?


    Of course Zhong Ziqi is not stupid. Youtiao is more profitable than cold noodles. It has the highest net profit. Many people have the lowest three sticks per meal, and the basic adult man gets five sticks for a full stomach. If you can¡¯t eat, you can put it up and eat again. Zhong Ziqi made a lot of money in just three days. There are also big families in the town. They often buy more and give the money unambiguously. Commonplace.


    Zhong Ziqi is immersed in the happiness and joy of making money every day.


    Because I can trust the family of Uncle Huang and Zhong Ziqi all the noodles they need to send every day, and Huang Ama takes them away every morning when Zhong Ziqi comes over, and every day Zhong Ziqi adds five cents of labor money to them in addition to the car money.


    Two people stood in a place where Zhong Ziqi could not see. A thin and gloomy man looked at the hot booth. For a long while, he saw his gloomy face and said to the person who leaned slightly beside him: "Teach me a lesson and teach them. Let them know that our Changshun is not easy to provoke. If we dare to play tricks on us, it is really daring to be ambitious."


    "This... the aunt''s wife told us to converge."


    The man frowned: "It''s okay, you do yours, I''ll tell my brother, he won''t blame it."


    "¡­Yes"


    Zhong Ziqi obviously did not expect that someone would be brain-disabled to attack him, and it was this brain-disabled behavior that brought about earth-shaking changes in Zhong Ziqi''s life.


    Of course, that''s something to say. At this time, the person who made Zhong Ziqi feel bad appeared, and he was relieved when he was surprised.


    It was Li Xiujuan that he hadn''t seen in a long time that appeared in front of his house. Entering the yard, the thieves looked around and looked around here, flipping over there, and occasionally chuckled in her mouth. Zhong Ziqi, who was watching, was very irritable, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"


    Li Xiujuan said, "Look at what you said, what can I do? Of course I''m here to see you."


    Without saying a word, Zhong Ziqi just thinks that the way of speaking is so familiar, oh, remembering that Wang Cuihua came here last time with this opening statement, it is really boring.


    "It''s not that I said you, Brother Qi, you said that you marry that fool, and you won''t come back after three days. It''s almost a month now. Your grandpa and grandma are thinking about you too tightly. "Li Xiujuan said, rolling her eyes.


    Go home in three days? What the **** is that? The monk of Zhong Ziqizhang''s second man was puzzled, and no one had told him anything to return to the door for three days. It¡¯s not that he didn¡¯t know that, as an unmarried man in the new century, he really didn¡¯t know that there was still this rule. He fell out with his family when he arrived in this world, and fell out with his in-laws when he got married. His neighbors told him where he knew, of course, even if he knew, he might not go.


    "Is this to blame? I think if you can sell me, you should have the consciousness of being old-fashioned, right?" Zhong Ziqi said with a sneer in his eyes.


    "Brother Qi''s words are wrong, what''s the sale? I found you a good family. If you see that you are living a prosperous life, you will turn your face and deny you!" Li Xiujuan''s deeds are quite good. Wang Cuihua is much taller.


    "Oh? Then you gave me back the one or two dollars that sold me. That is my dowry. Even if you are a matchmaker, you have to withdraw half of me." Zhong Ziqi said.


    "What''s the money? When your father Amu died, here and out, the banquet guests weren''t given to Zhang Luo by us. Brother Qi can''t be a white-eyed wolf."


    "Oh, if you want to say that, we have to forget it. When my parents were alive, my family''s expenses were all earned by my father''s part-time work. Don''t say that your three-square-acre land was sold for our family. I didn¡¯t see a penny. My father built your house. You said that you treat me like this. Don¡¯t you feel guilty. Are you afraid that my father, my Eminem, will come to you at night?¡± Zhong Ziqi said threateningly. .


    Li Xiujuan shuddered.


    In ancient times, it was quite superstitious, so Li Xiujuan was a little scared when he heard Zhong Ziqi¡¯s words, but it was impossible for him to spit out silver. She stalked her neck and said, "You little boy can confuse the crowd, huh, you''re so bad I''m not happy to be there." Li Xiujuan turned around and left after speaking, and there was no way anyone could tell him to make a mistake.


    Back home, Zhong Zhenping quickly asked: "How is it?"


    Li Xiujuan shook her head, sat down and took a sip of water, and said angrily: "This kid, when has his teeth become sharp, no matter what I want him to do, how can I give it to him!"


    Zhong Zhenping nodded in agreement: "Then he said he didn''t say it?"


    "I didn''t say this. Why don''t you try it? If this kid isn''t seeing him earning a lot of money, who should pay attention to him." Li Xiujuan said impatiently.


    A few days ago, people in the village said that Zhong Ziqi¡¯s business had fallen and he had closed the door. He had been happy for a long time. I didn¡¯t expect to hear that Zhong Ziqi turned out to be a business change. , They couldn''t sit still anymore.


    But they thought very thickly, Zhong Ziqi is a member of their Zhong family, and now he is still married to a fool, don''t he need their support? It''s not like going around without the mother''s family backing up, it will make people pay attention to it.


    Here Zhong Ziqi closed the door and watched Zhao Zhengan and Dahei Xiaohei playing, but he thought in his heart, Zhong''s family has never been broken off, so it is impossible for him not to contact each other. People will say him if he speaks out. Not filial, although he doesn''t care, but there are too many rumors and annoying.


    It seems that someday he should go back and take a look with something. Li Xiujuan''s intentions are clear to him. He has his own mind. He will look at his grandpa and grandma in the name of his return. As for the uncle''s family, he ignores it. Anyway, he is a married brother who is not obliged to support his grandparents. What''s more, the whole village knows what the family did so excessively. He used to look at him and he had done his best.

 Chapter 31: Attacked

    Just do it, Shuri, Zhong Ziqi closes the stall in the afternoon, he tells Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng to go back first, he and Zhao Zhengan walk around in Qingshui Town to buy some odds and ends.


    Zhong Ziqi knew about the gifts that needed to be chosen for the two elderly people in the Zhong family. Pull a few feet of cloth, bring some pastries and some meat. Don''t feel shivering, none of them are cheap, it only cost him about a hundred liters.


    After the things were bought, Zhong Ziqi felt that it would be better to choose a day and deliver them to them today, saving them they would always run to him one by one.


    In the afternoon, the road between Qingshui Town and Zhaojia Village is sparsely populated, and occasionally a strange horse-drawn carriage "dede" passes by. Zhong Ziqi was in a good mood, talking and laughing with Zhao Zhengan.


    Suddenly, two people sprang out from the woods on both sides, looking at them maliciously.


    Zhong Ziqi gave a thump in her heart, and took Zhao Zhengan¡¯s hand and turned and walked back. Just two steps, two more people came out from the woods on the side. There were four sturdy men in total, flanking each other. Zhong Ziqi knew something was wrong Wonderful, I don¡¯t know who is having trouble with me, is it the tree that is catching the wind?


    It¡¯s just that the current situation doesn¡¯t allow him to think about it. Obviously, the person who came is not good. Zhong Ziqi asked nervously, "Good guys, I don¡¯t know what is expensive? We have the money, and you can take it, as long as it doesn¡¯t hurt others. ."


    Zhao Zhengan next to him was holding his hand tightly, his face tense, and his expression uneasy. He also noticed something was wrong.


    One of them chuckled: "Money-we stay, people-can''t leave like this."


    "Yes, who told you to provoke someone you shouldn''t provoke, they told us to teach you a lesson, and you can''t break your promise."


    Another person said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, quickly solve it."


    The other three people stopped talking nonsense and immediately surrounded them. Then Zhong Ziqi only felt a pain in his leg, and he let out a painful cry. Then came a round of punches and kicks.


    "Help!! Help, come here!!" Zhong Ziqi struggled and cried out for help, hoping that someone would come out to help them, but his hope was destined to fail.


    "Hehe, no one can help you even if you break your throat."


    Zhao Zhengan looked at them angrily, especially when they hit Zhong Ziqi''s body, he was even more angry. He didn''t know how to be afraid, and regardless of the two people who greeted him, he rushed to Zhong Ziqi''s side and pushed them away. Looking at them fiercely.


    "Yo, dare to resist and beat me to death."


    The result can be imagined, no matter how fierce Zhao Zhengan is, he is only alone. After a few rebellions, he was overwhelmed by the stronger fists. In the end, he could only lie on Zhong Ziqi and firmly protect him from harm.


    Zhong Ziqi was so hugged that she couldn''t move her body, so she cried out, "Zhengan? Zhengan? How are you?"


    I don''t know when, the surroundings were silent, and the four people also left.


    Zhong Ziqi''s voice choked: "Zheng''an? Zheng''an, they are gone, will you get up, Zheng''an?" He just let him call the people behind him to be motionless and silent, seemingly even breathing lightly.


    Zhong Ziqi panicked, and from below he shook away the strong hand that Zhao Zhengan was holding. Turning his head into the eye is Zhao Zhengan with his eyes closed, his breathing weak, and blood still on his face. Throwing a two-fingered stick on one side, everything is self-evident.


    Zhong Ziqi''s tears flowed down instantly, her trembling hands gently hugged Zhao Zhengan, and called him in horror: "Zhengan, Zhao Zhengan... wake up... don''t scare me! Otherwise, I don''t want you. !"


    Zhao Zhengan, who used to jump up when he heard this, was motionless like a porcelain doll at this time.


    "Yes... go see the doctor... see the doctor." Zhong Ziqi muttered to her feet and wanted to pick him up, but she was helpless. For the first time, he hated himself for being a brother so much. Who can come to rescue them!


    Maybe God heard his cry for help. At this moment, a carriage passed by, Zhong Ziqi couldn''t take care of the others and rushed forward and stopped the car: "Help him, uncle, help him!!!" Zhong Ziqi pleaded.


    The owner of the car was a forty-year-old man, pulling goods on the car. Seeing this, he got out of the car and hugged Zhao Zhengan, who was unconscious, into the wagon, and then asked Zhong Ziqi to also get on the wagon.


    Zhong Ziqi thanked him gratefully and sat next to Zhao Zhengan, carefully placing his head on his lap.


    "What did you do? Have you met a robber?"


    Zhong Ziqi nodded indiscriminately, he was still in extreme panic, he kept calling Zhao Zhengan along the way, but he still didn''t move. Fortunately, they were not far from the town, and arrived in a few minutes. Uncle Carriage helped Zhong Ziqi to carry Zhao Zhengan into the house. The hospital where Zhao Zhengan was treated was still the old doctor sitting on the stage.


    "What''s the matter?" The old doctor hurried over and asked, directing the two to place Zhao Zheng on the inner bed.


    Zhong Ziqi choked up and narrated the matter again.


    The old doctor sat on the side of the bed with a serious expression, pulsed in his hands.


    After a while, the old doctor closed his hand and said: "The situation is a bit serious. Some of his internal organs may have been injured. There are also a lot of traumas, especially on the surface of his head. His head has been hurt before, so unless he wakes up, no one knows if there will be any more damage."


    "Then...Doctor, when will he wake up?"


    The old doctor shook his head: "I''m not sure about this. It''s about two or three days. I''ll prescribe a prescription first, and give him the medicine as soon as possible. He is in very bad condition now."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded and did not dare to disturb him.


    Although he is still very worried, he can breathe a sigh of relief if he has a doctor, and some of them will be cured.


    Then Zhong Ziqi turned his attention to the uncle who was driving the car. He bowed deeply and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you very much, uncle today. If it weren''t for you, he would probably... Uncle you are our lifesaver. What will you ask for in the future? Just tell me, I will definitely be there."


    The uncle smiled and said: "It doesn''t matter, life matters."


    Zhong Ziqi gave the uncle some money, but the uncle refused to ask for it.


    Zhong Ziqi said: "Uncle, just accept it. I may have to trouble you a bit. Go to Zhaojiacun and send me a letter, okay? If you don''t accept it, I am embarrassed to trouble you."


    The uncle who drove the car thought about it and wanted to accept it.


    "Uncle, go to Zhao¡¯s village and find Zhao Baogen¡¯s house. It¡¯s the fourth house from the village. There are two door gods at the door. Tell them that my husband is sick, so don¡¯t go back. Done¡­¡­"


    If the two of them don''t go back to Zhao A, they will definitely be very worried, and according to Zhao Zhengan''s current situation, he really can''t go away. He has no intention to do other things.


    At this time, his heart was messy, sad, worried, distressed, and so on. One thing is very clear. He was afraid that he would die, and his heart felt like he was cut out by a knife... and it hurt.


    He had never felt this kind of emotion, even when that person got married, although he felt uncomfortable and distressed, he was far less intense than his current feelings. He thought, maybe in the time he was in contact with him slowly, he already liked him a little bit, and regarded him as an indispensable family, no longer an unnecessary one.


    Maybe he hasn''t really fallen in love with him and fell in love with him, but he is also willing to get along like this and give each other a chance. As long as he wakes up, even if he is stupid for a lifetime, he is willing to support him.


    Man, he always thinks about cherishing him when he is about to lose. Although he seemed to take care of him before, he always ignored him, but from now on he will not be like this anymore. He will definitely treat him as a man in his heart. Treasure.

 Chapter 32: lesson

    This guard stayed for the whole night. Zhao Zhengan showed no sign of waking up. He just drank the medicine and his face improved slightly, but it was still white and distressed.


    When the eastern sun just rose, Zhao Ning''s family and Uncle Huang''s family rushed to the hospital.


    "How is it?" Zhao A asked anxiously.


    Zhong Ziqi shook her head sadly: "It''s not so good, I haven''t woke up."


    "These days have just passed better, how come this kind of thing happened again!" Huang Amae said sadly in the same way.


    "Who is it? Is it Changshun?" Uncle Huang asked. Others frowned and knew about the Changshun restaurant. At the beginning, Zhong Ziqi said that they didn''t believe it even if it was settled. Now something must have happened.


    "It must be them, but they always have trouble with us." Zhao Ning said angrily.


    Zhao Sheng frowned and shook his head: "It may not necessarily be Changshun. Our business is so hot and we have robbed a lot of business. It must have caused other people to hate it. If it is another vendor, it is not impossible."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded and felt that what Zhao Sheng said made sense, and it seemed that he needed to go to Jinhua again.


    After staying in the hospital for a while, Zhao A-ma and Huang A-ma did not dare to mention Zhao Zhengan''s unconsciousness, for fear that Zhong Ziqi would be heartbroken. After visiting the sick, everyone went back one after another. Zhao Ning wanted to stay with Zhong Ziqi, but Zhong Ziqi refused.


    After everyone left, Zhong Ziqi sat on the side of the bed and held Zhao Zhengan''s rough hand in a daze for a while, and then talked to the old doctor and left.


    He went to Jinhua by himself, and now he is regarded as a distinguished guest of Jinhua, because his four dishes have made the restaurant''s business more prosperous, so the shop Xiaoer had to be polite when he saw him.


    "Why did the little brother come? Is there something wrong?" Jin Sheng asked in confusion, mainly because Zhong Ziqi would not come here unless there was something to do. Jin Sheng thought this brother was pretty good, and he wanted to make friends. , It''s a pity that people don''t have that heart.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t hide it, and said about Zhao Zhengan''s attack.


    Jin Sheng frowned. He didn''t expect such an evil thing to happen: "Then what do you mean?"


    Zhong Ziqi said with a haggard face: "Help me find out who it is. I won''t let you help unconditionally."


    Jin Sheng was not the kind of person who took advantage of the fire. Otherwise, when Zhong Ziqi was desperate, he could not buy his food at a high price to help him get rid of trouble, but this little brother was like a treasure that could not be dug out, and he was very affectionate. Zhongyi, I believe I won''t do that to cross the river and demolish the bridge.


    "Okay, I will help you find out this matter as soon as possible. The one in your house-how is it now?" Jin Sheng asked. The regular customers at Zhong Ziqi''s booth include paying attention to his restaurant, etc. No one does not know that Zhong Ziqi''s husband is a Fool, many people laughed privately, but I regret that it would be a big loss for such a good guy to marry a fool.


    I heard that someone had secretly implied that Zhong Ziqi had a good opinion of him, but he refused, which has increased the goodwill of others.


    If Zhong Ziqi knew about this, he would say innocently. Why didn''t he know who had hinted at him and refused? That''s even more nonsense, but someone persuaded him to remarry but he refused...


    Seeing that Jin Sheng had agreed, Zhong Ziqi stopped staying any longer. He couldn''t worry about Zhao Zhengan and hurried back to the hospital. Seeing that Zhao Zhengan was still not awake, Zhong Ziqi rushed home non-stop. The medicines Zhao Zhengan drank in the past few days are all good decoctions. Most of the hundreds of articles he earned yesterday were searched, and the rest is definitely not enough. Yes, I have to go back quickly to get some, just in case.


    When he arrived at home, he saw Da Hei and Xiao Hei screaming around him as soon as he opened the door. He remembered that he hadn''t fed them yet, but he didn¡¯t have time to be at home: "Hey, Zhengan is sick, I Go with him, you guys behave at home."


    After talking and entering the bedroom, there was an inconspicuous gap on the upper side of the bed that was blocked by the bed curtain. Zhong Ziqi reached in and touched it, and found out a cloth bag with his ten taels of silver in it. Zhong Ziqi took five. Put the two pieces of silver in his arms, and then put the money bag back in place.


    Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi went into the kitchen to feed the two dogs and the chicks who were almost starving, and then went to Zhao A''ma''s house and gave them the keys to help them look after the house.


    Then he hurried back to town.


    The shopkeeper Jin moved very quickly, and the news came the next day. It was the second person of the shop called Xiao Qinzi. There were three second person in the Jinhua restaurant. This one called Xiao Qinzi was obviously Jin Sheng''s confidant. Xiao Qinzi recounted the results of the investigation to Zhong Ziqi.


    It turns out that there is really a figure of Changshun restaurant behind this. After the gloomy man ordered to go down that day, the other man next to him was particularly cautious and did not directly shoot, but provoked several people on the dock, especially Zhong Ziqi, who were not pleasing to the eye. A vendor owner, that man is a genius, he first talked to the boss as an ordinary diners, and then provoked a few times when appropriate, and he would soon be hooked.


    Zhong Ziqi robbed them of business, and one of them was the owner of the noodle stall on the wharf. He took the lead in finding the scorpions in the town, as long as they were given money, they would do everything, and then there was this scene.


    After Xiao Qinzi finished speaking, he carefully looked at Zhong Ziqi''s expressionless face, and his anger could still be seen from the light flashing through his slightly squinted eyes: "The shopkeeper asked you what to do? Don''t help you teach a lesson."


    Zhong Ziqi was accidental by the treasurer''s move. It would be good if he could help him check it. He didn''t expect to continue to help him to the end. He thought he didn''t seem to have anything to covet, so why did he as a businessman only for profit? And help him again and again?


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t figure it out, and simply didn''t want to. His only value now is the hot fried dough sticks. If he wants a recipe, he can also give it to him for free.


    He is weak, even if he knows that someone is behind the scenes, he can¡¯t teach them profound lessons. It¡¯s better to let Jinhua help out, and let people know that he is backed by Jinhua, although he must be tied to the chariot by Jinhua. , In the future, if you fight against Jinhua, you will have to trouble him, but now there is no good way, especially Changshun is really not something he can shake.


    He is very weak, and sometimes really confused, like a house without support, anyone who kicks can fall off the ground, let anyone squeeze it, and still don''t have the ability to resist.


    Zhong Ziqi sighed, her emotions fell to the extreme again, sometimes he felt that what''s the point of living like this? But after the incident, he will still live happily any day, and he can''t stand a bit of grievances. It''s not as good as the real brother. As a domineering and mighty man who hides in his heart...how can he suffer because of it. Just cry if you feel wronged!


    "Go back and tell the shopkeeper Jin, thank him, this matter will trouble him, and if you have any requests afterwards, please mention it, as long as I can do it." Zhong Ziqi said with squinted eyes. Who told them to bully him, this hatred does not revenge him for sleep and food.


    On the third day, Xiao Qinzi came to the hospital again and told him that the matter had been resolved. He didn''t say how to solve it, but I believe that no one who has eyesight will come to trouble him in the future. The entire dock knows that he is leaning behind. It was Jinhua, and the troublemakers went home.


    Jinhua from Changshun has already put pressure on the county grandfather of Fengyang City, and believes that as long as he is not mentally disabled, he will not ignore it.


    As Xiao Qinzi said, Fengyang City¡¯s county grandfather is the white-haired middle-aged man, furious and furious. He hasn¡¯t been so suffocated since sitting in the county grandfather¡¯s position for a long time, because Fengyang City is far away from the emperor. Chengyuan, there is no big power in this place, and the rich family has to give him a three-point thin face, but this has been very low-key Jinhua gave him a bad face, but he still has no way to resist. Who is behind this? He can''t afford to provoke people.


    So all his anger fell on the brothers who got into trouble. It only took a few days before he was visited for the second time. The middle-aged man directly scolded the aunt of the Chang family. , And completely ignored him, and warned him that if his brother is making trouble, then he will just get out.


    Chang''s brother was dumbfounded and fell from heaven to hell. He cried and he made trouble but still ignored him. Finally, he pointed the finger at his brother. The culprit was his fault. He had told them clearly. Don''t make trouble, do you take his words as deaf ears?


    I believe that his fall from favor will soon spread. Once he has offended many people because of his favor, now that many people will fall into trouble when he falls out of favor, and that day will be sad.


    The gloomy man didn''t expect things to get to this point, panic and at a loss, he was slapped several times by his brother. The first time he saw his brother so angry, he used to spoil him the most.


    Their family has a large population, and because they have developed, their uncles and uncles are all in the light of their family, eating and drinking, and big fish and meat. All the money except for his brother brought it back at the beginning, the rest is the income of the restaurant, even him. My brother sometimes has to withdraw money from here, so the restaurant is the lifeblood of their family. As long as the restaurant is still there, everything is easy to say. They don¡¯t want to go back to the days when they were poor. Extravagance is easy, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to thrift.


    It''s just¡ªis it all as good as he thought?

 Chapter 33: restore

    After sending away the little Qinzi who came to deliver the letter, Zhong Ziqi stood there with a gloomy smile, turned around and froze, her deep eyes were looking at him for a moment, and her expressionless face could not see him. What are you thinking about.


    "Zheng''an? Zheng''an! Are you awake?" Zhong Ziqi didn''t notice the abnormality and rushed forward and took Zhao Zheng''an''s hand, his eyes flushed happily.


    "Is there anything uncomfortable? Don''t sit up, lie down!"


    Zhao Zhengan, who was sitting on the bed, didn''t answer anything, but kept looking at him, frowning slightly.


    Zhong Ziqi realized that something was wrong when he saw that he hadn''t reacted. Zhao Zhengan, who had been wronged and afraid of pain in the past, would definitely cry to him, but at this time he was so silent, with a look that was not silly Zhengan. ! At this time, Zhao Zhengan had a trace of inquiry in his eyes, his eyes were not as clear as before, but as dark as a cloud of ink.


    Zhong Ziqi was surprised to think of a possibility, and asked tentatively: "Are you...well?"


    Zhao Zhengan just nodded slightly without saying a word, with a faint light in his eyes.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t pay attention, he was already stunned by the slight margin.


    Zhao Zhengan has recovered! !


    Unexpectedly, it really recovered! !


    He obviously hurt his brain and is already stupid. The doctor said that the chance of recovery is very small, but he did not expect that he would recover like this! !


    After he figured it out and decided to live a good life with him again, he recovered! ! !


    Zhong Ziqi only felt confused in her heart, and unconsciously let go of her hand holding Zhao Zhengan, but didn''t see the person''s frowning even tighter brows. Zhong Ziqi stood up a little at a loss: "You...remember the previous memories?"


    "Yeah." Zhao Zhengan replied.


    Zhong Ziqi was even more embarrassed: "Then...then I...seek a doctor for you." After saying that, Zhong Ziqi walked out quickly. He needs to be sober now.


    Zhao Zhengan frowned and coughed uncomfortably. In fact, his brain is now even more chaotic than Zhong Ziqi. The memory in his brain is not coherent. It may be that the trauma has been a little longer (a few months). Some memories can be recalled, and some are sometimes clear and sometimes blurred, but There is a part of the memory that is very clear, that is, what he did during this period of stupid, including the people and things he encountered, he remembers very clearly. For example...Zhong Ziqi, who went out just now, knows that it is his daughter-in-law, and Ming Media is getting married.


    He knows the Zhong family. They live in a village, but they have very little contact between the two families. Moreover, he often works outside, and the number of times he sees Zhong Ziqi is even rarer. Many people in the village wanted to get married with the Zhong family. For no reason, they all rushed to Zhong Zhenhang. Zhong Zhenhang is said to know the literary hyphenation. It is said that he also knows the magistrate of the county and has a good job. Didn''t you look at his big house? But many people are envious. If you want to build a relationship, you can only hit his mind on his children.


    Zhao Zhengan just smiled at that time. He, Eminem, and Wang Cuihua had this thought, but there is no way, who told him to have a marriage contract. This marriage contract was made a few years ago and is a distant relative of Wang Cuihua''s family. Live in the village next door, very close to their Zhaojia Village.


    That brother looks ordinary and his family background is average. Although Wang Cuihua made the decision without authorization, he was satisfied after seeing him and did not refute it, because after contacting this brother, he found that he was a gentle and considerate brother. It is harmonious.


    If there is no accident, waiting until two years later, that is, this year, when the brother reaches the age of marriage, they can have a banquet. This is one of the reasons why he is desperately making money.


    Just an accident ruined everything and made him see a lot more clearly. On the tenth day of the accident, the brother''s family saw that they could not be cured, so they retired from their family decisively. And the speed of light was engaged with someone else, during which the brother came to see him but he was full of disgust. Then it was his father Amu. He broke his heart by what he did. It turned out that all these years of getting along was a fake relationship, without the benefit of money, so he drove him out in a hurry.


    Not to mention anything else, since he was sensible at the age of twelve, the money he got back from selling firewood, selling grass, doing odd jobs to hunting in the mountains, etc. was not one by two. How could they be so cruel that they almost left the house!


    Zhao Zhengan had seen it thoroughly, and he really responded to the sentence "If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather." He originally thought that working hard to make money would impress them, but he didn''t expect...


    Forget it, anyway, after dividing the family, it is considered that he has never been in this family, and he has no obligation to give unconditionally anymore. Zhao Zhengan''s heart is not uncomfortable or painful, but this is the most effective method. Long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain. Some hopes and expectations cannot exist.


    Zhao Zhengan had to think of his sudden appearance of his wife, his face could not help but soften, gentle and lovely, good-looking, literate and literate, able to go to the hall or the kitchen, the best in business is not a problem, who can think of it If you lose your horse, you know you are not blessed.


    just¡­¡­


    Thinking of his relationship with Zhong Ziqi did not seem to be what he wanted. From what he had learned about his recovery just now, he didn''t seem to be looking forward to his recovery, Zhao Zhengan sighed deeply.


    Outside, Zhong Ziqi walked out and said to the old doctor who was sitting on the clinic: "Doctor, he is awake, go and see!"


    The old doctor replied and got up and walked inside.


    "and many more."


    The old doctor looked back at him suspiciously.


    "He...he...recovered" Zhong Ziqi said hesitantly.


    The old doctor didn''t react at first, and after carefully pondering his words, he immediately understood what was going on. He looked at Zhong Ziqi incredulously: "Okay? Remember the past? Isn''t it stupid?"


    Zhong Ziqi nodded silently.


    This time I¡¯m silly as the old doctor. They like to stay at the edge of what they say as doctors, and they don¡¯t say too much. Although Zhao Zhengan¡¯s illness was said to have the possibility of recovery, he was just comforting his family, but he knew it. If you want to recover, it is almost impossible. If you hurt your head and not die, you will be fatal, but it is normal to be stupid.


    He has seen a lifelong doctor, how could he not know that there are many ready-made examples, but without any accident, there is no recovery.


    The old doctor stood stupidly for a while, and then hurried into the inside. He now wants to cut the people inside into eight and study it carefully. Why is this? How could it be so magical! !


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t follow up, walked out of the medical hall unconsciously, shuttled among the crowd, and walked aimlessly on the street.


    He was in a mess. He wanted to sort out his clues, but he was a little bit resisted. He admitted that he was a little scared and a little cowardly. What was between them was the marriage that was not consensual. He was not ready yet. Besides, if Zhao Zhengan is now, will he be willing to have a wife just like this?


    Although it may not seem possible to reunite, in ancient times, reunion and disengagement were rare. Unless one of them made a serious mistake, otherwise, the person who reunion and disengagement would have difficulty finding the other half, and the reputation was not good. So Zhong Ziqi thinks it is unlikely, but if he wants... Zhong Ziqi ignores the pain in his heart, then he can also join and leave.


    After all, Zhong Ziqi was afraid. He did not understand Zhao Zhengan after recovery, did not know who he was, and he was even more confused about the unknown in his future life.


    What should he do?

 Chapter 34: get along

    "How do you feel when you wake up?" The old doctor asked kindly, touching his beard.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him pale, and said in a weak voice, "My head hurts and I want to tear it apart." It was like a small hammer hitting his head constantly. He didn''t want to move or talk. .


    The old doctor frowned and looked at him. It was indeed different from the past: "Do you really remember the past?"


    "Well, I think I''m the same as I used to be except for my weakness." Zhao Zhengan said blankly. It''s not that he wants to pretend to be cool, but that he is too lazy to make expressions because it is also a hard work.


    "Stretch your hand over, I will get the pulse."


    For a while...


    "Your body is recovering well now, but it really hurts inside. You should usually take care to rest and not do heavy work. Now you need to take good care of your head... As for your head... I can only say that it may be a sequelae left by you, because You rarely recover from this symptom, so there are sequelae, but it is not easy to confirm it now. I will prescribe some medicine for you to temporarily relieve your pain. If the root is not completely removed, then I can do nothing. "The old doctor said, he is just a little doctor in the mountains, without the superb medical skills to revive him, too much he can''t help him.


    Zhao Zhengan didn¡¯t speak, and asked him what he thought of the sequelae¡ªif he didn¡¯t, he thought it would be good if he could recover. The doctor said that there was very little recovery, so it¡¯s normal to leave a sequelae. For so many years he He has always believed in a truth, there is no free lunch in the world, he is very content, and he is very satisfied with his current life.


    "Where is he?" Zhao Zhengan asked.


    "Who? Oh, did you say your husband? Huh? He was there just now, maybe he has gone out. Will you use me to make a call?" said the old doctor.


    Zhao Zhengan lowered his long eyelashes, and restrained the emotions in his eyes: "No." He knew that he also needed time to adapt, to think clearly, he gave him time.


    The old doctor nodded, and then sighed from time to time after studying around him. After a long time, he walked out in a magical manner.


    Zhong Ziqi had already returned from the outside, and when he saw him coming out from the inside, she stepped up and asked, "How about? Doctor?"


    The doctor said to Zhong Ziqi while grabbing the medicine: "His body is still very weak, but he is turning in a good direction. He can wake up to show that he is doing well, but..."


    "Just what?" Zhong Ziqi asked anxiously. Why couldn''t the ancients speak directly? It''s really anxious to be sold at this time.


    "It''s just that although your husband has recovered his sanity, he may have sequelae. He told me that his head is very painful. I am not sure what is the cause. It may also be the pain caused by the trauma of the head, so I need to observe for a few days. If I can''t recover, I can''t help it."


    Zhong Ziqi stayed, did not expect to have such a tangled crop, sequelae? There are indeed many similar situations in modern TV, such as blindness, deafness, and nervous breakdown, but he only watched it as a joke. Now that this really happened, he...he...he had a hunch, This cliff is a sequelae, don''t ask why, he just wants to talk about his intuition as a brother!


    I remember that he had headaches every other time when he was good before, and nowadays, secondary trauma and everything can happen. For a time, he is full of tastes, and it is very uncomfortable.


    "What did you do just now?"


    "No...nothing."


    The old doctor dispenses the medicine so that the apprentices in the store can cook it: "He asked me about you just now. Go in and have a look."


    "Oh" Zhong Ziqi was a little pleased and nervous when he heard the words. He stood in front of the door hesitating and dare not enter, until there was a very light coughing in the room, he went in worryingly.


    "How are you?" Zhong Ziqi opened the door and walked to the bed anxiously, completely forgetting that she was timid just now.


    At this moment he looked at the man''s frowning brows, his pale face felt a pain in his heart. When he left just now, he noticed that he was frowning all the time. He thought he was upset, but he didn''t expect it to be a headache.


    "It''s okay." Zhao Zhengan said softly. He stared straight at him.


    Zhong Ziqi was a little embarrassed when he looked at him. Zhao Zhengan looked at him like that when he was stupid. He didn''t feel uncomfortable at all at that time. At this time, he felt embarrassed, his face and ears were burning.


    "I... I''ll press your head, can this relieve you?" Zhong Ziqi squatted and said, her eyes wandering and she didn''t dare to look at him.


    "Okay." Zhao Zhengan''s lips twitched and he stood up: "You sit on the head of the bed."


    Zhong Ziqi listened to his instructions and sat on the bedside of the bed without knowing it. Zhao Zhengan moved inside, and then directly pillowed on his lap, shocking Zhong Ziqi.


    Seeing that his head suddenly crossed his lap, the man half-squinted his eyes and relaxed. Zhong Ziqi was like a balloon. After being pierced by someone, all his nervousness and fear were exposed.


    Slowly raised his hands, hesitantly placed his hands on the black and shiny blue silk, and gently pressed his hands around the temples. After all, his head was injured. If he stupidly presses on his head, it will not be worse. Up.


    After a while, Zhong Ziqi carefully discovered that Zhao Zhengan had a comfortable expression on his face, like a satisfied cat. Seeing the effect, he couldn''t help rubbing harder.


    There was silence in the room. The two of them didn''t speak, only the sound of each other''s breathing intersects and exhales, as if they were in tacit understanding. Enjoy the rare silence with each other.


    A strange sound of "Guru" sounded.


    It came from Zhao Zhengan¡¯s stomach, and the original closed eyes of the man opened. Zhong Ziqi took a meal and looked at him with a smile: "Are you hungry? I''ll get you some food." Right."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded without changing his face: "Okay."


    Zhong Ziqi looked at his red ears but didn''t laugh, calmly helped him to lie down on the pillow, and then calmly walked out the door, calmly greeted the old doctor and the others, and then broke his work.


    "puff"


    so fun! He was too embarrassed to pretend that nothing happened, Zhong Ziqi was overwhelmed, feeling that he was so close to him, and the embarrassment between them seemed to have disappeared.


    Zhong Ziqi laughed for a while and calmed down. There are many food sellers on the street. Zhong Ziqi chose a porridge seller. Zhong Ziqi ordered a large bowl of rice porridge and a pile of pickles before hurried back.


    Zhao Zhengan wanted to eat it by himself, and didn''t want to behave so useless, but when he was holding the bowl trembling as if it was about to be spread, Zhong Ziqi couldn''t stand it anymore: "I''ll feed you, your health is not good yet. , Should not be tired."


    Zhao Zhengan "..." He didn''t do any heavy work, right? It¡¯s just a bowl...but he also enjoys his husband¡¯s feeding behavior. Weaknesses are weaknesses. Anyway, it¡¯s only temporary. We can use facts to speak in the future. At this time, it is rare to have a relationship with his wife. How could he miss it.


    After dinner, Zhong Ziqi tidied the dishes, and then frowned at the pale man lying on the bed: "Does your head hurt?"


    Zhao Zhengan smiled: "No."


    "Liar." Zhong Ziqi raised his tone slightly to retort.


    The man was sweating profusely. He didn''t think it was caused by the bowl of porridge just now, because the bowl of porridge was just warm.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi looked at each other for a while and then defeated: "It''s a little bit painful, and it will be fine for a while."


    "Do you think of me as a three-year-old child? It''s so foolish, the doctor told me, what are you doing while hiding it?" Zhong Ziqi said unhappily, her lips pursed slightly, a little puffed up.


    Zhao Zhengan''s voice was weak but he said with a hint of teasing: "I''m not afraid you don''t want me?"


    Zhong Ziqi was taken aback by surprise. This is the favorite sentence of Sha Zhengan, so when he said it, he thought that Sha Zhengan was back again, but he knew it was impossible, and Sha Zhengan wouldn¡¯t use it. Talking to him in this sly tone.


    Zhong Ziqi''s eyes darkened, and she couldn''t see the emotions and said: "If...in the future you want to reunite, you can tell me that I respect your opinion and will not haunt you."

 Chapter 35: Come back home

    As soon as Zhong Ziqi''s words fell, an extremely sharp gaze shot at him, Zhao Zhengan''s expressionless face: "Heli? Don''t even think about it. Since we are married, it is impossible to separate again. You are my Zhao Zhengan''s person. Death is my Zhao Zhengan¡¯s ghost, I will not let you go."


    Zhao Zhengan''s words were harsh and unpleasant, but Zhong Ziqi still laughed muffledly, feeling that the stuff in her heart also fell: "Are you stupid? Didn''t you listen to me carefully?"


    "What''s the matter?" Zhao Zhengan was puzzled by Zhong Ziqi''s smile. How did he feel that the direction of this matter was a little weird?


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t restrain the smile on her lips: "I mean, if you don''t want to be with me, then we will get together."


    Zhao Zhengan''s eyes lit up: "You mean you are willing to live with me? Be my husband?"


    Zhong Ziqi "..." Why can''t this person always catch the center of his speech? And suddenly there was a feeling of lifting a rock and hitting one''s own feet. The ancients really hated them. They should not be direct when they should be direct, and they are not euphemistic at all when they should be euphemistic.


    Zhao Zhengan didn''t wait for Zhong Ziqi''s answer. For him, it didn''t matter whether the answer was or not. He wouldn''t let him escape. He smiled slightly. He believed that the days to come, the better.


    During the period of illness, Huang A-ma and Zhao A-ma came to look at them at intervals of three and five. Seeing that Zhao Zhengan had completely recovered, they were surprised and restrained. After all, they are not familiar with such Zhao Zhengan, but they are still Zhong Ziqi. Happy, so he doesn''t have to be so tired. At a young age, those spinning like tops every day are also full of sadness.


    Zhao Zhengan stayed in the hospital for another three days and then went home. Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi grabbed a large packet of medicine, and the five taels of silver he carried with him was almost spent.


    But what worries him is Zhao Zhengan¡¯s headache, which can now be 100% confirmed as a sequelae. He is better after taking the old doctor¡¯s medicine, but his attack time is uncertain, and he has to suffer several times a day, and what is the pain. Zhong Ziqi didn''t know the extent, because Zhao Zhengan never said it. He always carried it alone, acting very relaxed. This alone made him very distressed, but he was helpless.


    When returning home, Zhong Ziqi hired a carriage, and when she passed through the crowd, she was stopped by someone. Zhong Ziqi looked back on the carriage and found that she didn''t know him, but he was a little familiar.


    Three or four men came over in the distance, and one of them said: "Little boss, you are not in business? We are all waiting!"


    "That''s right, we are greedy to death, when will you come back?"


    It turns out that these people are regular customers at Zhong Ziqi¡¯s booth and are also loyal Mifensi, but Zhong Ziqi suddenly disappeared one day, and disappeared for seven or eight days. Many of them are guessing what happened, whether they were robbed by the house or by whom. Threatened.


    Does anyone passing by know Zhong Ziqi? Hearing a few people¡¯s conversations, they opened their eyes and listened with ears upright. They thought to themselves that this was the legendary little boss, and he was really small, and they were anxious to know when. Open a stall.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at everyone in surprise. He didn''t expect so many people to look forward to him. He was very happy: "I''m sorry everyone, something happened these days, so I can''t set up the stall as usual. Everyone will wait for a few days. I will be back."


    The well-informed person immediately knew what he was talking about.


    "That''s fine, we are waiting for you!"


    "I won''t let everyone down." Zhong Ziqi said in a loud voice.


    Going home with Zhao Zhengan all the way back home, as soon as he opened the door, Da Hei and Xiao Hei rushed over to surround Zhao Zhengan and wag his tail, smelling and licking, because Zhao Zhengan usually waited on them, and they knew who kissed them.


    "Hungry?" Zhao Zhengan asked with a smile. He missed them a lot, just like his own children.


    Zhong Ziqi observed and shook her head: "It''s not that I''m hungry, it should be because I miss you. Ignore them, little clingy." Zhong Ziqi helped Zhao Zhengan into the bedroom, laid the quilt and let him sit on it.


    "I''m fine, much better." Zhao Zhengan helplessly, the other party always treats himself as old, weak and sick. He is a man who is in good health, unlike his brother Jiao Di Di.


    "No! The doctor said, you still want to stay quiet, listen to the doctor!" Zhong Ziqi said with staring eyes, since Zhao Zhengan said a lot of domineering things that day, the strange gap between them It was completely gone, and the normal relationship between the two of them was naturally incomparable.


    "You take a rest here, I''ll cook for you." Zhao Zhengan shouldn''t eat too greasy food now. He bought two fish for him today.


    "Don''t worry, go quickly." Zhao Zhengan smiled helplessly.


    Zhong Ziqi went into the kitchen and wiped the kitchen well before starting to cook. He bought two fish when he bought them, one alive and the other dead. Put the live Zhong Ziqi in the basin, save this one before eating it.


    Fish soup is highly nutritious, and it is more suitable when there are no supplements in ancient times. When he has time, he will go to Zhao A''ma''s to buy an old hen and hang a soup, which will be even more tonic, Zhong Ziqi thought happily.


    At the dinner table, Zhao Zhengan drank the fish soup one bite at a time. Whether he was silly or now he hates to grow his stomach every time he eats Zhong Ziqi¡¯s food. Just like this fish soup, he has also drank it before, it is fishy and greasy. It''s super awful, but the one made from his wife''s hands is fragrant and delicious, without any smell. Even at this point, he had to hold his wife firmly.


    After eating, Zhong Ziqi turned out a small pot to make soup for Zhao Zhengan, and Zhao Zhengan could stop the medicine by taking two more soups. After all, Zhao Zhengan was a sequelae. There was no way except to take a few medicines to relieve it.


    Zhong Ziqi sighed in the kitchen. He also knew that the doctors in this small place were not good at medical skills. He had to save money quickly and find a good doctor for Zhao Zhengan.


    "Drinking medicine." Zhong Ziqi sat on the side of the bed and called the person who looked like sleeping with his eyes closed.


    Zhong Ziqi knew that this person was definitely not asleep. When talking about this, he had to talk about things that made him laugh or cry. Zhao Zhengan was afraid of hardship. The first day he drank medicine, perhaps the two were too cautious. Zhao Zhengan drank bitterly. .


    But the next medicine Zhao Zhengan can delay for a while or for a while, if it is poured, it would be better. Zhong Ziqi can see his essence at a glance, and can only give him some cakes every time he takes the medicine. Sweet things like sugar.


    Zhao Zhengan was motionless on the bed, as if he was really asleep.


    Zhong Ziqi said helplessly: "Get up quickly, knowing that you are not asleep, drink it while it is hot, and it will become more difficult to drink when it is cold for a while."


    Zhao Zhengan reluctantly opened his eyes and stood up: "You can leave it here, I will wait for the coolness to drink before you drink, so go ahead."


    Zhong Ziqi "...I''m not busy, I''ll be walking when you finish drinking, hurry, it''s not so hot anymore."


    "..." Zhao Zhengan took the bowl and took a deep breath, drank it sharply, and then quickly took a sip of sweet canned food from Zhong Ziqi''s hand for the night, which was quite comfortable.


    He really doesn''t like to drink soup and medicine, but it is not so hard. It is mainly pretending to be seen by his wife. He smiles when he looks at him. Even if the image is completely ruined, he recognizes it. There is a family on both sides.


    Zhong Ziqi brushed the medicine bowl clean, and then began to clean the house. The house has been unoccupied for many days, and a layer of ashes has fallen. A normal person can''t bear it. Zhong Ziqi rolled up her sleeves, soaked the rag and began to wipe.


    Zhao Zhengan leaned back on the bed lazily and looked at him, with the corners of his mouth curled up, thinking that the feeling of being an unmarried person is different. Only if there is a person in the family, can he experience the feeling of oneness of you and me. Very happy and beautiful.

 Chapter 36: past

    At night, when he went to bed, Zhong Ziqi wanted to pack up the bedding and go to another room. When he was in the hospital, there was a couch by the bed, so he could make do with it. When he returned home, he was even more embarrassed to sleep with him on the bed.


    But his actions were strongly protested by Zhao Zhengan.


    "Where?" Zhao Zhengan asked with squinting eyes.


    "Next door" Zhong Ziqi was a little confused.


    "The two of us are getting married. What are you embarrassing about, what is the sleeping next door?" Zhao Zhengan moved inside and said, "Sleep here."


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the vacant place hesitantly. Although the other party¡¯s approval made him happy, he really didn¡¯t want to sleep with him. He was not mentally prepared yet.


    ...But obviously Zhao Zhengan didn''t prepare for him. He took the quilt in his hand and put it on the bed: "Sleep now."


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t but lay on the side of the bed with his clothes widened, trying not to be next to him, with his back straight.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him amusedly, is it painful to sleep with him? I can''t do anything to him. His current body is insignificant.


    Zhao Zhengan lay down on the side, and habitually put his hand on Zhong Ziqi, and found that the person was stiff, Zhao Zhengan laughed secretly, and always had to adapt slowly.


    "Can you... take your hand away? It''s uncomfortable." Zhong Ziqi said in a weak voice. He had goose bumps. He was fine before.


    "No, go to sleep, I''ve been tired for a whole day." After saying that, Zhao Zhengan tightened the stiff body into his arms, and realized that the man wanted to speak again: "Hush, don''t make a noise, I''m going to sleep."


    Zhong Ziqi''s words will be held back in her mouth, and she wants to cry without tears, so how can he sleep? Zhong Ziqi thought he could not sleep, but in the end he fell asleep too, and was awakened by a heavy gasp in the middle of the night.


    Zhong Ziqi turned his head immediately, and couldn''t see Zhao Zhengan''s people clearly in the darkness: "What''s wrong with you? Is it a headache? Ah? Speak!!!"


    After a while, the gasping voice gradually subsided: "It''s okay, did you wake you up? You go to sleep."


    "How can I sleep like this!" Zhong Ziqi said angrily.


    Zhao Zhengan was silent, and suddenly reached out and hugged him, holding him tightly in his arms. Zhong Ziqi would be completely stiff at this time, the whole person was Spartan, and the body temperature of the other person and a faint sweat rushed towards him, making Zhong Ziqi dizzy.


    "Go to sleep, I will do something else if I don''t sleep." Zhao Zhengan said softly in his ear.


    The warm breath sprayed into Zhong Ziqi''s ears numbly and itchy, he couldn''t help shrinking, unable to move, so he had to lie down in that arms honestly and stop speaking.


    Perhaps because this embrace was too warm, Zhong Ziqi slowly fell asleep, someone in the dark smiled silently, and his head no longer hurts so much.


    The next morning, when Zhong Ziqi woke up, he was still sleeping in Zhao Zhengan''s arms. He blushed and cautiously crawled out of his arms and got dressed and went into the kitchen. It''s not his innocence, but his life of more than 20 years in his previous life. His feelings are like white paper. His family is stodgy, and his premature love behavior is not allowed. Moreover, he has not met anyone who makes his heart appealing. By the time he was in college, he finally had a man he liked. He never went out to spend a lot of money with the mentality of Ning Quewulan, so he was still a little virgin until he died.


    Even if he usually avoids physical contact with that person as much as possible, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold it back and jump on it. So how can he not feel awkward when someone is in close contact with him suddenly.


    After washing her face with cold water, Zhong Ziqi started to cook with a refreshing body. There was still leftover from yesterday''s stewed fish soup, which should be warmed up in a pot.


    Yesterday, I bought a large piece of meat in the town. Zhong Ziqi cut off half and put the rest away. The hot weather in summer can¡¯t hold anything. This meat will be broken for two days, so I have to eat it as soon as possible, such as last time. The meat I bought for the second elder of the Zhong family, because something went wrong, I put it aside without paying attention, and finally broke. He felt distressed for a long time when I threw it away!


    Wash the meat and chop it on the board, chop it into minced meat, the more minced the better.


    Then add ginger, rice wine, rice starch, egg whites in a bowl. In particular, there are only two eggs left in the house, which he bought from Zhao Ama''s house.


    Stir the meat well, knead into small **** and set aside for later use.


    I remember that he didn''t make the cold noodles. He had a lot of rice fens left. He turned over the kitchen cabinet and turned out the rice fens.


    Add half a pot of water to the pot and boil, put the meatballs in and boil over high heat, then add the rice shreds. There are still a lot of cabbage at home. Zhong Ziqi also put some in and cover the pot, and add a small amount after it is cooked. Sprinkle the refined salt with a little chopped green onion and it will be out of the pot.


    The name of this dish is Meatball Rice Fragment Soup, which is a little troublesome to make, but it is just right for the patient and it won''t feel too light.


    Put the vegetables out and put them aside, Zhong Ziqi turned around and found that Zhao Zhengan didn''t know when he walked in, standing not far behind him: "Why did you come out?"


    "I wash my face and prepare to eat by the way." Zhao Zhengan said with a smile. He was awakened by the sound of Zhong Ziqi''s chopping meat at first, and then he was attracted to the kitchen by Caixiang.


    "I''m hungry." Zhao Zhengan blinked and said again.


    Zhong Ziqi: "You come in and wait, I''ll be fine right away."


    Zhao Zhengan stretched out his hand to help him pass, but Zhong Ziqi stretched out his hand and slapped him away, both of them were shocked.


    Zhong Ziqi: "...Well, I''ll just take it over, this one is too heavy."


    Zhao Zhengan had no choice but to see it came again, he was not a porcelain doll.


    At the dinner table, "It''s delicious, none of the restaurants in town are as delicious as you did." Zhao Zhengan praised sincerely.


    "How can it be so exaggerated." Zhong Ziqi snorted: "Have you ever eaten a restaurant?"


    "I have eaten it. When I was working in the town, I also went to a restaurant as a second-hand in a restaurant."


    Zhong Ziqi was aroused by curiosity: "Then why don''t you continue to do it?"


    "shut down."


    "..." Zhong Ziqi laughed: "What have you done in town?"


    Zhao Zhengan thought for a while: "I worked as a second-hand shop, built houses for people, porters, sold goods... I did a lot, but the money in the town is not so easy to make. There are many people like me. Everyone must rush to do the work, or they will be taken away by others.


    "Zhong Ziqi nodded in understanding: "I heard them say that you made a lot of money!" "


    Zhao Zhengan ate a meatball and said slurredly: "That''s all rumors, there are not so many, some of which I exchanged for prey."


    "You can hunt?" Zhong Ziqi was even more surprised.


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head: "I''m not fine. When I was young, my grandfather and grandma lived in this house. My father and Eminem came to deliver some food every three to five times. Since I was a child, my grandparents and grandma and I often come here. Look at them. It¡¯s just that my dad, they never give money except for some food, and they don¡¯t make one piece of clothes all year round. The lives of my grandpa and grandma are even more difficult."


    "My family''s money is kept by my Eminem, and I can''t get it out. Then I went into the mountains to chop wood and carry it to the town to sell. The money I sold was to buy some meat for my grandpa and the others." Zhao Zhengan thought of those days. Although very hard, he is very happy because of their love and company.


    "What happened later?" Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help asking, no wonder the Zhao family''s house was so well-preserved, it used to be occupied all the time.


    "Later¡ªI didn¡¯t know where I heard that I was selling firewood to make money. He made a fire and asked me where the money went. I didn¡¯t dare to tell the truth, so I lied to him and spent it all. Eminem beat me so hard! Later, I had to give the money for cutting wood and selling to Eminem, so it was not much for a penny or two. One day when I went into the mountain, I saw a rabbit and a pheasant in the mountain, and I thought If I could catch them, I would have more money to sell. I pondered for a long time and dug a lot of traps in places where animals often run. After waiting for a night, I will find two silly rabbits or pheasants. Fell in. I''m afraid that Eminem will find that I hide them in the firewood and enter the city, let alone worth a lot of money. A live pheasant can be sold for nearly twenty cents. It''s like It opened the door to a new world for me. From then on, I used hunting to make money, and then I covered it with firewood. However, there were not many small animals nearby. Basically, there were a lot of them inside. I was still young at the time. Go inside, but this is enough for me to make clothes for my grandparents and improve my food."


    Zhong Ziqi listened without blinking, suddenly felt that the memories she had brought from her previous life were really nothing. This is amazing. She dared to hunt in the mountains when she was ten years old. What was she doing when she was over ten years old? It seems to memorize texts at home stubbornly! This is the stark gap! !


    "Later, when I was twelve years old, both my grandfather and grandma passed away, and gradually I seldom came. I was afraid that I would get hurt, so if I made more money, I gave it to my Eminem. I just want to I think it was really silly at that time." Zhao Zhengan shook his head and stopped talking, focusing on eating.


    Zhong Ziqi knew what he meant, and couldn¡¯t help feeling a little distressed. It is conceivable that the little Zhao Zhengan stupidly thought that he worked hard to make money, and Eminem and Daddy would treat themselves better, look at him more, and show more love. give him.


    How long can the family relationship based on money last?

 Chapter 37: Shen Yubei

    "Zhao Ah, call me an old hen." Zhong Ziqi pads her feet in Zhao Ning''s yard looking for which chicken is the fattest.


    "Okay, I''ll let Shengzi pick the fattest one for you. Brother Qi, how is Zhengan?" Zhao Ama asked from the side.


    "It''s better, I''m thinking about reopening these days."


    "Brother Qi, none of us said the news of Zhengan''s recovery, but it is estimated that someone will see the signs soon. I wonder if Wang Cuihua''s family is not willing to give up, and you must be entangled with you. You have to think of a countermeasure. "At the same time, Zhao Ama, who lives in a village, knows Wang Cuihua as a person, and is the most shameless.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "I see, ah."


    Carrying the little hen bought from Zhao Amo''s house, Zhong Ziqi came home and plucked his hair and shaved his intestines into chicken soup.


    Zhao Zhengan¡¯s face looked bitter when he looked at the chicken soup. From the day he woke up, it was soup. Three meals a day, three meals were all soup. Although Zhong Ziqi¡¯s craftsmanship was good, he couldn¡¯t stand it because it was too light. Besides, he drank too much soup. He always runs the toilet, which is really a headache.


    How can Zhong Ziqi couldn''t see what he was thinking, and gave him a slanted look: "After eating this chicken, I won''t stew it for you. If I want to eat it in the future, I won''t make it for you."


    Zhao Zhengan smiled flatteringly. He knew that the other party was knives-mouthed tofu, and he only asked him to pretend to be pitiful and immediately break the power.


    "I want to reopen the stall in two days." Zhong Ziqi said to Zhao Zhengan in a negotiating tone.


    Zhao Zhengan frowned: "I will go with you."


    "You can''t go, you''re not so good yet!" Zhong Ziqi said.


    "But I don''t worry, what do you do?" Zhao Zhengan said.


    "Isn''t there Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng? It''s okay. I have already settled with the owner of Jinhua Restaurant." Zhong Ziqi remembered that Zhao Zhengan didn''t know yet, so he repeated the matter.


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "You are still thoughtful, but you can''t take it lightly. Buy a dagger for self-defense."


    "Don''t worry, I know how to count. Just wait at home. I''ll be back soon."


    So-things are settled so happily.

    South of the Yangtze River-a land of gold and jade, a gentle and rich town, this is the evaluation given by people who have been there. It is different from the north. The people live and work in peace and contentment. Few beggars pass by on the streets. Everyone has a smile on their faces, which is worthy of the title of land of fish and rice.


    On this day, a big ship docked on the shore, and a crowd of people hulled around: "Master, you are back."


    "Master has worked hard, Madam and they are waiting


    For you. "


    Gao Hanjin waved his hand as if drove the fly, and he got a headache because of the noise: "I see, I will go back now."


    "Azhuo, you can arrange the rest. I will go back first." Gao Hanjin said to the tall man behind him. He just wants to go back and take a good hot bath. He hasn''t taken a bath for more than ten days. It''s stinky, it''s too humiliating.


    "Yes, master."


    Gao Hanjin returned to the Gao family compound, and the first to greet him was his eight-year-old brother.


    "Brother, you are back." The somewhat chubby Gao Hanbo plunged into Gao Hanjin''s arms to act like a baby.


    Gao Hanjin''s face softly picked up his brother: "Is Bo''er behaved at home? Did you miss your brother?"


    "Bo''er is very good, thinking about my brother every day." Gao Hanbo said obediently with his arms around Gao Hanjin''s neck, his cheeks and his cheeks and his eyes wide open.


    "Brother also wants to silk, you go to the house and wait for your brother, will your brother take a bath first?" Gao Hanjin kissed his brother''s tender face and put him down.


    "Good." Gao Hanbo nodded obediently and ran back into the room.


    Gao Hanjin walked through the corridor to her room, where the hot water was ready.


    Gao Hanjin closed the door and took off her clothes and sat in the tub.


    Soaked in a hot bath comfortably, Gao Hanjin washed her hair, hesitated for a moment, picked up the water and wiped his forehead, as he kept wiping, a red cinnabar mole immediately appeared, and he was a brother. Some cinnabar moles.


    Carefully cleaned her face, Gao Hanjin wiped her body dry and put on her clothes, sat on the dressing table, picked up a sticky thing and rubbed it on the cinnabar little by little, and soon there was no trace of it. He became a man again.


    Gao Hanjin cleared up and went to his father''s room. He happened to be there too. "Daddy, Eminem, I''m back."


    "It''s fine to come back. This trip has suffered a lot, right?" Mother Gao looked distressed and pulled her son over and sat on the bedside carefully: "They are all thinner." Doesn''t he know his own son? , Spoiled since childhood, and it is the first time to travel far.


    Gao Hanjin smiled: "How can it be so exaggerated, Eminem, is Dad better?" Gao Hanjin looked at the man lying on the bed sleeping, his face was a little pale, but it was longer than when he left.


    Gao''s mother shook Gao Hanjin''s hand: "It''s much better. The doctor said that after raising her, she almost recovered."


    "That''s good." Gao Hanjin breathed a sigh of relief. His father had suddenly fallen ill before. The doctor said that he was too exhausted and the disease invaded and needed to be raised, but Nuo''s big family business was supported by him. He fell in need. A person who maintains the situation, there are only two young masters in the entire Gao family, one is him and the other is eight-year-old Gao Hanbo. In the end, only Gao Hanjin is suitable for this burden. He does not refute, anyway, he was originally...


    After talking with Eminem for a while, Gao Hanjin came out, and he sent Stoudemire to go out.


    Two blocks away from the Gao family stands another big house. This is the Shen family, the accomplice of the Gao family.


    Gao Hanjin often enters and exits here, so the guards let them go without notification. Gao Hanjin found the man''s study and knocked on it.


    "Come in." A deep magnetic voice sounded.


    Gao Hanjin smiled triumphantly, he knew he would be here. He opened the door and raised a smile: "Yubei, I''m back."


    The handsome man sitting behind the desk raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Close the door."


    Gao Hanjin''s face collapsed: "Oh" raised his hand to close the door, and then leaned in front of someone who was looking at the account book: "You are so cold, I will come to you as soon as I come back, hum."


    Shen Yubei looked at the ledger motionlessly.


    Gao Hanjin has become accustomed to Shen Yubei¡¯s indifference. He likes Shen Yubei and has loved it since he was a child. Shen Yubei is also the only outsider who knows that he is a brother. He clings to him and haunts him. Although Shen Yubei is cold Some but never refused. He thinks he should like him a little bit too?


    It''s just that he is nineteen this year, and Shen Yubei is twenty-four. The Shen family urges him to urge him, and those who do not get married at twenty-four are really worrying.


    Although Gao Hanjin is very happy because he has the opportunity to do so, but he always feels hesitated because he can''t touch his heart, because Gao Hanjin has not given him a promise, and he treats him no differently from others.


    He is not young anymore. As a brother, nineteen years old is considered old, and it is even harder to find him when he is twenty years old. Moreover, his special conditions seem to be met only by Shen Yubei around him, but what on earth is Shen Yubei? What do you think?


    He can never catch his heart!


    With a sigh, Gao Hanjin lay on the table.


    Shen Yubei glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "Sigh, why are you not happy going out to have fun?"


    Gao Hanjin pouted dissatisfiedly, knowing why he was sighing and pretending to be stupid: "Is there any fun, I can''t take a bath all the way, it''s dirty."


    Shen Yubei can understand that as a brother, he can''t stand the mess.


    Gao Hanjin whispered to Shen Yubei


    Shen Yubei did not interrupt him when he talked about what happened to his northern party, letting him say happily, and occasionally responded.


    "By the way, I ate a kind of noodles in a small town called... cold noodles. It''s not delicious but very unique..." Gao Hanjin described it carefully. This was the only thing he recognized the aftertaste of the northern party. The food, when he returned, he didn''t see the stall. Instead, he bought it in a restaurant. It is estimated that the stall owner sold it.


    "The stall owner is a brother, he looks like he is about fifteen or sixteen years old. He is clever and literate in hyphenation. It''s a pity that he found a fool." Gao Hanjin shook his head regretfully.


    "En." Shen Yubei replied and continued to read the account book.


    Gao Hanjin glanced at him dissatisfiedly, and suddenly noticed that New World patted his thigh: "No wonder! No wonder I looked at that person so familiar, so he looks like you!"


    Gao Hanjin approached Shen Yubei and almost touched him: "The eyebrows, lips, and ears all look like."


    Shen Yu tilted his head back, frowned and asked him: "Who are you talking about?"


    "That''s the guy I just said, he looks a lot like you, but he is softer, I didn''t notice it for a while."


    "Really? It may be a coincidence, what is his name?"


    "How do I know that I just ate two bowls of noodles there. Why are you asking so clearly?" Gao Hanjin felt strange as she touched her chin. Shen Yubei rarely cared so much for insignificant people.


    "Nothing. Okay, I want to go out. Are you here or are you going back?" Shen Yubei looked at him and asked.


    Gao Hanjin waved his hand boredly: "I''m leaving, I''ll see you tomorrow."


    Sending away Gao Hanjin, Shen Yubei frowned and stood in the study room not knowing what he was thinking. After a long while, he took out a painting from a certain box and opened the scroll. Inside the scroll was a brother who looked a lot like him, but this brother. With one less heroic spirit and one more gentle and gentle, Shen Yubei murmured; "Brother."


    After a long time, after putting the painting in place, Shen Yubei called out a name, and a man in a strong suit appeared. After a long while, Shen Yubei thought and ordered a few words, then the man clasped his fists and left.

 Chapter 38: Night talk

    In the evening, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had dinner and sat on the bed to count the money.


    Zhao Zhengan laughed and sighed: "My wife is so powerful, it''s really stressful!"


    When Zhong Ziqi heard the words, he glanced at him: "What''s the pressure?"


    Zhao Zhengan supported his chin with one hand and played with copper coins: "You see what you eat and wear nowadays, you earn money. I have become a soft food."


    "What''s wrong? Are you not happy?" Zhong Ziqi said jokingly, keeping the money away. "You ask if there are men in the village who are willing to sit at home and count the money, wishing to do nothing."


    "Yes, so good, such a capable daughter-in-law can be envied by the villagers. Unfortunately, envy is useless, the person is mine." Zhao Zhengan said triumphantly.


    The more Zhong Ziqi gets along with this person, the more he realizes that this person sometimes seems to be honest on the surface, but in fact he has a thick-skinned face.


    For example, between the two of them, it was Zhao Zhengan who intervened in the fight to get them through the most embarrassing period.


    Now the two get along as before, Zhao Zhengan still cheeky calling his daughter-in-law, although he can call him by name, but it''s a pity that people are just talking about it. Still going his own way, Zhong Ziqi didn''t bother to correct him anymore, let him be happy, who told him to spoil him habitually.


    Zhong Ziqi ignored his inadequacy, and said sternly: "Zheng''an, I have an idea, what do you think?"


    "You said." Zhao Zhengan became serious when he saw him.


    "You see, Zhao Ama and Huang Ama are also good to us, so I want them to do business with us."


    "Do you also fry fried dough sticks with you? I don''t know the business of fried dough sticks. Our current business passenger flow is just right. If we increase it, I am afraid that there will not be so many customers." Zhao Zhengan pondered and replied.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at him in surprise: "You know a lot, let alone, if you eat soft rice at home, you will really be buried." Since he recovered but never went to the pier, where did he tell?


    Zhao Zhengan bared his teeth: "That is, I do a lot, you will know about it in the future."


    Zhong Ziqi thought: "That''s what I think. Let Zhao Ama and Huang Ama sell porridge next to me. Youtiao and porridge are the most delicious. If there are some pickles and an egg, it would be great. If you have tofu The brain is the best."


    "What is tofu brain?" Zhao Zhengan asked, he could always hear some unfamiliar words from his mouth.


    "It''s a kind of food made with tofu flowers. It''s delicious, but there is no tofu." Zhong Ziqi shook his head. He likes tofu brains the most.


    "We have some sold in our village, will you forget it?"


    "Um...who? I really forgot." Zhong Ziqi recalled hard as if he had a vague impression.


    "It''s the Erzhuzi home that I used to visit. Their home makes tofu." Zhao Zhengan laughed when he thought of his "little friends".


    "Ah, I forgot, someday I will buy some and make it for you to taste." Since Zhong Ziqi came here, no one except Zhao Ama''s house has been visited, so it is not uncommon to know.


    "What do you think of my idea?"


    Zhao Zhengan thought for a while: "It''s pretty good, just...Don''t let the two families sell the same food, and save them more and less, and it''s not happy."


    "Well... it makes sense, hey... You said that you are a man more careful than my brother, why do you really make me love!" Zhong Ziqi pretended to shook his head and sighed.


    "The more you see, the more you know." Zhao Zhengan said sadly. From the age of ten, I know how to make money. In the six to seven years, even innocent children will be polished away and become sleek and sophisticated.


    "Don''t talk about this, let''s go on to talk about the porridge. Let Huang Ama sell the porridge, how about Zhao Ama sell eggs?" Zhong Ziqi said happily.


    "Eggs, I don¡¯t think it¡¯s good. Just as you said, it¡¯s more appropriate to have some soup and water. Eggs can be used as a piggyback. You see that there are more workers in the docks. They have to spend nearly ten cents on eating fried dough sticks. If you eat eggs and porridge again, it will be difficult for ordinary people to afford it, and the landlord¡¯s family will not have such a good life!


    Zhong Ziqi nodded thoughtfully, too. At first, some people might eat it like this, but when they taste it, they won''t spend so much money to eat tricks. Of course, this has to exclude the big families in the town.


    "Then what do you say?"


    Zhao Zhengan touched his chin, "Didn''t you say that there is that tofu brain?"


    "That¡¯s what I think. The tree attracts the wind, and we don¡¯t have enough manpower. Just selling fried dough sticks is enough, and the profit is sufficient. Besides, tofu brain and tofu cost, it¡¯s better to let Zhao Amo do it, even with Erzhu¡¯s family. Selling tofu can also make a fortune, as a good bond."


    "Um... it''s okay, it''s up to you." Their family can''t be alone all their lives, they always have to make some friends and walk around with the villagers.


    "Where is the tofu shop in the village? I will buy two pieces of tofu when I have time, so I will try it first."


    "I''ll buy it tomorrow." Zhao Zhengan said.


    Zhong Ziqi yawned and nodded. It is time for Zhao Zhengan to go out for a stroll after he has recovered for so long.


    No dream for a night. When Zhao Zhengan got up the next day, Zhong Ziqi had already left, and the sky was bright.


    He sat on the bed and felt dazed to relieve the pain in his brain. Then put on clothes and wash, the pot is cooked by Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhao Zhengan ate the meal beautifully, washed the dishes and chopsticks, he entered the house and carried two boxes of pastries (bought for the second old Zhong family) before strolling out.


    Walking on the small road facing the breeze, he has never experienced this kind of leisurely life since he was sensible. In his memory, apart from being busy, he is busy, and a trace of relaxation will attract abuse.


    Now he wants to come and thank him Eminem for finding him a good wife!


    Zhao Zhengan did not go directly to Erzhuzi''s house with the cakes, but went to Lizheng''s house. If you insist on talking about him and Lizheng''s family, there is still a trace of kinship. But this has already been out of five servers.


    The purpose of his visit this time is to walk away from the relationship, after all, it is because the lizheng in the village wants to get closer, so he can talk about anything in the future.


    "Oh, isn''t this a fool?" A strange voice of Yin and Yang sounded behind Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan knew who it was when he heard it. There was a famous jealous woman in the village named Zhang Fengcai, who ate well and dressed well. He just said bad things about people and was jealous of others, so he was secretly called jealous women. Normally, people don¡¯t. Take care of him.


    The person didn''t see the answer and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Zhao Zhengan and gazed at him.


    Another Ah Ma who followed him said: "Don''t even say, this time the sun is coming out from the west, the Zhong family''s little brother seems to be tight as a baby on weekdays, so why did he let it out today? "


    Zhao Zhengan frowned, this is really not ordinary ugly, what does it mean to let it go, he is not a cat or a dog.


    "Oh, what are you carrying in this hand?" Zhang Fengcai reached out to touch Zhao Zhengan''s pastry.


    Zhao Zhengan was swayed away.


    Zhao Zhengan frowned displeased, looked at the two with sharp eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Don''t touch it if it''s not yours." After finishing speaking, the two who were frightened turned a corner and walked away.


    This person is really shameless. I don¡¯t want to take care of him. He has to push his nose and face. If he changes to the previously unconscious one, he will definitely be bullied thoroughly. Don¡¯t even talk about pastries on his hands. I guess he won¡¯t even have a rope left. Down.


    When I went to Lizheng''s house, the door of Lizheng''s house was not closed, and Lizheng''s youngest son, Zhao Jiang, happened to be there. He noticed that Zhao Zhengan was standing at the door and waved quickly: "Zhengan, come in."


    Zhao Jiang came over happily. He and Zhao Zhengan were good friends and started playing again when they were young. When his son was full moon, Zhao Zhengan gave a small silver lock.


    It was only afterwards that great changes occurred, and they were too far apart to take care of him. I heard that his family is too tight to come out after they have become a family. Besides, Zhao Zhengan, who lives in their family, is a stupid man. He dared to seldom get together, and must not provoke a gossip, but the last time he helped build the courtyard wall of his house, he was never at home.


    "Da Jiang." Zhao Zhengan called out with a smile.


    Zhao Jiang looked at him in surprise: "Do you still recognize me?"


    "Nonsense, I''m not stupid." Zhao Zhengan slapped him on the back of the head in an annoyed manner.


    It''s silly to shoot Zhao Jiang with familiar actions, he looked at Zhao Zhengan in disbelief.


    "It''s useless if you''re looking at me, I''m already a family member, and it''s impossible to see you anymore." Zhao Zhengan said solemnly. His eyes also revealed the joy of reuniting with friends.


    Zhao Jiang Hei Xian, who is familiar with the tuning, who dares to say that Zhao Zhengan in front of him is still stupid, he is anxious.


    "Zheng''an...How are you?" Zhao Jiang asked with his arms wide open.


    "Accidentally... okay."


    "It''s good, it''s good!" Zhao Jianghong patted Zhao Zhengan''s shoulder with his eyes, really happy for his good brother.


    Zhao Zhengan also smiled happily, but he did not forget the purpose of this trip.


    "Lizheng, ah, let me see you." Zhao Zhengan said, looking at the two standing at the door.


    Let alone Zhao Jiang, the two of them didn''t return to their senses, they were blown up by this blasting news.


    It took a long time for the guy from the Zheng family to take the snack from Zhao Zhengan: "Go in and talk."


    Lizheng also nodded: "Come in."


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhao Jiang entered the house together.


    "When is it all right?" Rizheng asked curiously. No wind has been heard in the village.


    "Not long ago, I recovered after an accident," Zhao Zhengan said with a smile.


    "It''s good to recover. Brother Qi is not easy to be alone. He has everything to say outside." Li Zhengjia said, he kind of likes this brother who hasn''t been in contact a few times.


    "Yes, I have to thank Lizheng and Ama for taking care of them during this period, otherwise I don''t know what it is like to be bullied." Zhao Zhengan thanked him sincerely.


    Lizheng and the guy in his family looked at each other at what they said clearly. I can''t figure out whether Zhao Zhengan''s attitude is on the side of his wife or his parents.


    "On seniority, Zhengan should call me uncle, don''t be honest, you kid is too polite, we didn''t help much." Li Zheng also said with a smile.


    In his opinion, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi are potential stocks. They are all good money-making players. Their future achievements are bound to be limitless. Even if Zhao Zhengan does not come, he has to take the initiative to build a good relationship with them, for the sake of his two sons. .


    In this way, with each other''s wishes, Zhao Zhengan greeted him for a long time before leaving.

 Chapter 39: Come home again

    Besides, the two Zhang Fengcai who were left in the petrochemical scene by Zhao Zhengan were really shocked by Zhao Zhengan''s sharp gaze, and it took a long time to recover.


    That Ah Ma looked at the distant back and murmured: "How come you have changed yourself?"


    Zhang Fengcai also looked at: "No... it''s just a change of person."


    Zhang Fengcai had been in contact with Zhao Zhengan, and he had also been in contact with Zhao Zhengan, who had become silly, so he immediately thought of a possibility that Zhao Zhengan was wrong.


    "You go back first, I have left beforehand." Zhang Fengcai hurried away after speaking.


    In Zhao''s family, Wang Cuihua hummed a small tune to feed the chickens and ducks, and the door banged as soon as he finished feeding.


    "Who, the door is broken." Wang Cuihua twisted and opened the door: "Feng Cai, why are you here?"


    Ma Fengcai smiled and walked in: "Come and drop in."


    "Oh, that''s a rare visitor, it''s been a long time." Wang Cuihua covered her mouth and smiled. He is one of the few people who can get along with Zhang Fengcai.


    Zhang Fengcai looked around, "Your family is not at home?"


    "No, I took the child out, what''s the matter? Are you looking for something to do with him?"


    "What can I do with him?" Zhang Fengcai mysteriously leaned in front of Wang Cuihua: "Guess who I met today?"


    "Who is it?"


    "I met your Zhao Zhengan."


    Wang Cuihua didn''t take it seriously: "If I meet it, I will meet it. What should I do!"


    Zhang Fengcai shook her head: "Do you know where I saw him?"


    "where?"


    "In the village, he still had two boxes of pastries in his hand and he didn''t know who they were giving them."


    Wang Cuihua felt strange this time, because as everyone knows Zhong Ziqi never let Zhao Zhengan go out alone. It''s harder to see each other than to climb to the sky on weekdays. How did this suddenly change.


    Zhang Fengcai saw that he heard it and continued, "I suspect that Zhao Zhengan is better, not stupid."


    Wang Cuihua was surprised: "How is it possible? I asked the doctor, and the doctor also said that the chance of recovery is very slim."


    "Don''t believe it." Zhang Fengcai told him in detail about what happened on Lu Yu just now: "You said it''s not weird, that fool can''t talk like that at all, and it''s impossible to have such scary eyes, you are You know him best."


    Wang Cuihua pursed his lips. He really knows Zhao Zhengan better, and because of this, if Zhang Fengcai''s statement is true, then he may have really recovered, and what scares him the most is how Zhao Zhengan will think about the separation of the family on the second day of the wedding. Thing.


    But soon Wang Cuihua calmed down. In the past, Zhao Zhengan was the one who listened to her the most. He would not say two when he said it himself. He recovered just right. He went to admit a mistake, not believing Zhao Zhengan was unwilling. Are you still afraid that you won''t be able to deal with Zhong Ziqi''s hard bone?


    He is just a brother, marrying a chicken and a dog, a dog and a dog. If he dares not to listen to Zhao Zhengan, he will let Zhao Zhengan rest him, and see if he is not afraid.


    Wang Cuihua thought beautifully, their business is so hot, the people in the village say they are rich in private, even he thinks so. He went to Zhong Ziqi on weekdays and had closed doors. Now Zhao Zhengan has recovered. Then he has a chance. Here comes.


    Thinking that he would have money for him to spend in the future, he can wear silk like a landlord¡¯s wife, wear gold and silver jewelry, eat big fish and meat every day, push the house to build a big blue brick house, and marry his son. My elder brother, find a few more maids to wait on them, that day is simply not too beautiful.


    Wang Cuihua, who was addicted to fantasy, completely forgot what if Zhao Zhengan didn''t forgive him?


    I also forgot that Zhao Zhengan didn''t send any news to their home as soon as he recovered. Even if he went out with cakes, it was not given to their home.


    At noon, Zhao Cheng and his child Zhao Zhenghong came back from outside. Wang Cuihua sent away her little boy and couldn''t wait to tell Zhao Cheng the matter.


    Sure enough, Zhao Cheng also showed a smile, thinking about the same thing as Wang Cuihua, thinking about the string of money Zhong Ziqi earned.


    "Let''s go and have a look after dinner." Zhao Cheng said.


    Wang Cuihua grinned happily, but there was a trace of worry in her dysfunctional mind: "Zheng''an won''t blame us, right?"


    Zhao Cheng snorted, "What''s weird about him, I''m his father, he can still beat me? Besides, Zhong Ziqi is what we found, otherwise, where can he find such a powerful brother!"


    Wang Cuihua felt that what Zhao Cheng said made sense, and quickly put the worries behind her.


    Zhao Zhengan didn''t know that the trouble would come after he went out for a lap.


    After getting out of the Zheng family, Zhao Zhengan went to Erzhuzi''s house without any haste. Erzhuzi''s father was Zhao Wangcai, and everyone called him Uncle Wangcai.


    When Zhao Zhengan came to buy tofu flowers, Zhao Wangcai said nothing. He was only surprised to know that Zhao Zhengan had recovered, and smiled silly.


    "Where is Er Zhuzi? I haven''t seen him for a long time." Zhao Zhengan said with a smile. He still likes his three lovely friends, just like his own brother.


    "Zhuzipi, I don''t know where I went to play." Zhao Wangcai mentioned his son with a big smile.


    Zhao Zhengan didn''t stay at Zhao Wangcai''s house. He bought two pieces of tofu and tofu flowers and walked home slowly.


    Not long after noon, Zhong Ziqi rushed back. He usually comes back at an uncertain time. He will come back when it is sold out.


    "Have you eaten?" Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "I have eaten, how about you?"


    "I''ve eaten it too." Zhong Ziqi entered the house and drank a big bowl of cold water to cool down: "Did you buy tofu?"


    Zhao Zhengan helpless: "Buy it, what are you in a hurry! Take a rest first."


    Zhong Ziqi scratched her head and sat down to rest.


    "Boom!" The door of their house was knocked again.


    "I''m going to drive." Zhao Zhengan got up and walked out.


    The moment the door was opened, both sides froze for a while.


    "Zheng''an." Wang Cuihua smiled.


    "Why are you here?" Zhao Zhengan frowned and asked.


    Wang Cuihua and Zhao Cheng looked at each other and knew that Zhao Zhengan had really recovered.


    "Zheng''an, are you really all right?" Wang Cuihua looked happy: "You kid, I don''t know if I will say it when it''s over."


    "It doesn''t seem to make a difference if you tell you?" Zhao Zhengan sneered. He knew from a guess that someone must have ran to Wang Cuihua to tell the news, otherwise how could Wang Cuihua know that he had recovered.


    "How do you say this kid, I''m your father!" Zhao Cheng scolded: "What? We can''t even enter the house?"


    Zhao Zhengan wanted to stand at the door and be noisy, but it was really unsightly, so he let them into the house sideways.


    "Why? Asking for money again?" Zhong Ziqi didn''t get up while sitting in a chair. He had a bad attitude. He was not afraid that Zhao Zhengan would be unhappy. If Zhao Zhengan was brainwashed by Wang Cuihua, then he would definitely leave together. , But he believes that Zhao Zhengan is not that kind of foolish and filial person.


    "Zheng''an, you take a look at what your wife says, we are elders after all, how bad it is to be heard." Zhao Cheng said with a black face.


    "Brother Qi, I was wrong some time ago. Eminem is also in trouble, right? Eminem apologizes to you. Our family can''t write two surnames. It''s good to get along with each other. Are you right, Zhengan?" Wang Cuihua smiled. Kindly, it seems to be a good Eminem with no ambitions.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at Zhao Zhengan as if she was smiling instead of talking-did you see it? This one can sing well with a red face and a white face.


    Zhao Zhengan was cheeky and was embarrassed by Zhong Ziqi, and was completely disappointed in his family.


    "Emm, we are all separated now. It doesn''t matter if we are in harmony or not. I won''t eat or drink from your house and take your house." Zhong Ziqi said, no matter how cruel Zhao Zhengan is, it is impossible. If they say this to them, after all, these are the parents who raised him, but he doesn''t care, they have nothing to do with him.


    Wang Cuihua and Zhao Cheng''s faces were blue and red, Zhong Ziqi meant that I won''t take yours, and you can''t take mine.


    How is this possible?


    Their ultimate goal is to take and take!


    "Of course, if you find it with your conscience, you can get close to your son any more, I won''t stop it." After Zhong Ziqi said, he glanced at the helpless Zhao Zhengan, and said maliciously: "By the way, this family I am in charge!"


    The thing that Wang Cuihua and Zhao Cheng hate most now is Zhong Ziqi. They are not easy to control, but in order not to tear their skins in the future, they have to show Zhao Zhengan, so that Zhao Zhengan feels that they really love him, and let him see it. See how hard his wife''s heart is. .

 Chapter 40: discuss

    After dismissing the troublesome Wang Cuihua and Zhao Cheng, Zhong Ziqi glanced at Zhao Zhengan: "It is more tiring to deal with them than to do business."


    Zhao Zhengan smiled bitterly: "I don''t know that they are such people. I''m sorry to let you see the joke."


    "You are not sorry for me. They will definitely come again in the future. Go and deal with it. I am not a bad person anymore." Zhong Ziqi said.


    "Well, you can rest assured that I will deal with it." Zhao Zhengan promised that his parents would never let his wife solve it, it was too embarrassing.


    "Okay, let''s not talk about it, where''s the tofu flower? I''m going to make tofu brains, and when it''s done, I''ll go to Zhao Ama''s house." Zhong Ziqi stretched out, getting up early and busy every day. His body is really overwhelming. .


    "In the kitchen, you have more rest, I''ll go with you tomorrow." Zhao Zhengan was a little distressed, how could he not see the fatigue in his eyes.


    "No, you''re not well!" Zhao Zhengan''s headaches have to be corrected from time to time, which is enough to worry him, and it doesn''t hurt to raise his body.


    "It''s been a long time, it''s not alright. You treat me as a porcelain doll. It''s all well already. This is the case. Your objection is invalid." Zhao Zhengan''s final decision, no matter how dissatisfied Zhong Ziqi protested, he did not change it.


    "How can this be done? You are too powerful and domineering!" Zhong Ziqi glared at him dissatisfied.


    Zhao Zhengan comforted him softly: "I''ll help you for a few days, let you rest and rest, I feel distressed when you see how hard you are."


    Zhong Ziqi heard the words, okay, okay, just go, and I''m so embarrassed to say what these are doing, Zhong Ziqi walked into the kitchen with red ears.


    Zhong Ziqi directed Zhao Zhengan to burn the fire as usual. He sliced ??the bought tofu flower with a spoon, put it in a pot and heated it to a boil.


    Suddenly there was a sound of jumping chickens and dogs in the yard, and Zhong Ziqi howled: "Da Hei! Little Hei!"


    Soon two little black dogs with wagging tails ran over and served them delicious and delicious every day. They grew very fast, and now they are twice as big as they were when they first came. Zhong Ziqi''s lesson of gritted teeth: "You guys every day What are you doing to tease them? I also expect them to grow up and lay eggs soon!"


    Zhao Zhengan smiled on the side: "You tell them, they don''t understand, thinking you want to play with them."


    Sure enough, **** and small black watery eyes watched Zhong Ziqi''s tail wagging in excitement.


    Zhong Ziqi was speechless: "Our little chicken won''t be scared by them for long."


    "It''s okay, the chicken is used to it."


    Zhong Ziqi''s black line, this one is even more unreliable.


    "Get up, go and play, I''ll be angry when I see you two." Zhong Ziqi kicked the two sticky dogs with his feet.


    Open the pot, the tofu is almost ready. Zhong Ziqi puts the tofu in the pit, and puts the soy milk in a large bowl, pours the right amount of soy sauce, sesame oil, chopped green onion, chili oil, and a small amount of vinegar to make the tofu.


    Zhong Ziqi took a bite first, um¡ªnot bad, a long-lost taste.


    "Try it." Zhong Ziqi looked at Zhao Zhengan expectantly.


    "It''s so simple." Zhao Zhengan took a spoon and tasted it suspiciously. The smooth and tender tofu has the aroma of sesame oil, and there is a hint of stickiness with various flavors. It is really delicious. Zhao Zhengan nodded: " Yes, it''s delicious, where did you learn it? I haven''t heard of this recipe."


    The action on Zhong Ziqi''s hand: "You can eat you, where are there so many problems, knowing too much will..." Zhong Ziqi said threateningly with a touch of his neck.


    Zhao Zhengan was amused: "Well, don''t ask, who can have a little secret, right?"


    Zhong Ziqi glanced at him suspiciously, and said inwardly: Did he see anything? But-I didn''t tell him when I saw it.


    "By the way, did you talk to Huang Ah Mo?" Zhao Zhengan asked.


    "Today, Huang Ama and the others mentioned it, and seeing their appearance is very exciting, saying that they are thinking about it."


    "It should be no problem. Huang Ah Mo''s family is just an ordinary family, and will not miss the opportunity to make money."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Well, I think so too. Okay, if you think this is good, let''s let Zhao Amo do it, right?"


    "Okay, you can make another bowl of Zhao Ama''s house and let them taste it. You can ask them for their opinions. If you are willing to do it, let them contact you for the rest. You should not show up more." Zhao Zhengan Said.


    "Okay, let''s listen to you." Zhong Ziqi nodded, the tree is so popular, it''s better for them to keep a low profile.


    After making tofu for another night, Zhong Ziqi used a bowl to buckle up Zhao A''ma''s house.


    Zhao Ama groaned at him for bringing something to him again. Zhong Ziqi didn''t explain what he meant at first, but just let them taste it.


    "Mmm... it''s delicious." Zhao Ning couldn''t wait to take a mouthful first, and then nodded frantically. Ziqi''s food will always be so delicious.


    Then Zhao Ama and Zhao Sheng, Zhao Baogen did not go out to work because the autumn harvest was coming soon, and they were at home. He also took a bite and nodded.


    Zhong Ziqi told them about the matter now. Zhao Baogen was the first to object: "No, brother Qi, it is not easy for you to do business, how can you give us the prescription?"


    "That''s right, this recipe can sell a lot of money in a restaurant." Zhao Ama couldn''t believe it. Now their sons can get more than 20 copper plates from Zhong Ziqi every day, which is very good for their family. It''s not a small amount of income, which in their opinion is already very content.


    "Well, Uncle Baogen, you see, since I split up and you have helped me so much, I think of you as a family, and our family doesn¡¯t talk to each other. I have discussed this with Zhengan. So don''t have any burdens on you. This is a simple recipe. Our family can''t spare any manpower right now, so it''s better for you to do it." Zhong Ziqi said sincerely.


    "This..." Zhao Ama and Zhao Baogen glanced at each other. They were really moved. They had long noticed that Zhong Ziqi has a high talent for doing business. He is the same red. It is right to listen to him, but let them take it for nothing. Their conscience is overwhelmed by other people''s ways to make money.


    Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ning were silent on the sidelines, they couldn''t call the shots.


    "Don''t hesitate, or I''ll give it to someone else." Zhong Ziqi said jokingly.


    Zhao Ama gritted his teeth: "Okay, I will take it, but we are not ashamed to take your things so vainly. In the future, if these two children will help you work, you won''t have to pay any more wages, otherwise we will not be able to accept anything. "


    "Um... well, then I will work hard for Brother Sheng and Xiao Ningbai to work for me." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile.


    When the matter was settled, Zhong Ziqi told Zhao Ama about the steps of the tofu brain: "How much you put in, you can try it first, decide for yourself, about tofu, you can go to the village tofu shop to discuss, I also Not mixed up."


    Zhao Amo nodded, thinking of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.


    "Then I am leaving."


    "Well, you can come again when you have time." Zhao Ama sent Zhong Ziqi out the door.


    Back in the room, Zhao Baogen muttered, "You really want to do it?"


    Zhao Amo nodded: "I do, I have agreed to it. I think it is correct to listen to Brother Qi. You see his business is so hot, this child has a good vision, since it is given to us, then let''s do it."


    Zhao Baogen didn''t say anything, he always listened to these trivial matters.


    "His father, you go to Wangcai''s house to buy a few pieces of tofu back, and tell them a little bit by the way." Zhao Ama is anxious about the results of the experiment. If he does well, he will go to the stall with Zhong Ziqi as soon as possible.


    "Okay, I''m going now."


    Zhao Sheng and Zhao Ning looked at each other, and it seemed that they would be busy in the future.

 Chapter 41: Dumplings

    When he got home, Zhong Ziqi took Zhao Zhengan to water the vegetable garden with nothing to do. After such a long time, all the vegetables in the vegetable garden are ready to eat. Some have to wait. The surrounding fences were crooked and crooked. He and Zhao Zhengan got it right.


    Looking at the verdant green of the garden, he was not without a sense of accomplishment. Zhong Ziqi was pouring vegetables and joking with Zhao Zhengan. He also said that he didn''t do this job at home before, and he was so delicate!


    Zhao Zhengan allowed him to talk about the past, but he replied with a gentle and a little guilty distressed, "Thank you."


    Zhao Zhengan knows that it¡¯s not easy for him. After all, he has experienced those, so he understands very much. He swears in his heart that he will let his wife live a good life in the future. Facts prove it.


    After pouring the vegetable patch, Zhong Ziqi sent Zhao Zhengan away. She sat in the courtyard rubbing clothes, thinking about things while rubbing, and had to find some time to buy something and go back to Zhong''s house, saving them one by one. Here, it seems that he is really unfilial. Since they are under the name of filial piety, then he will look at it in the name of filial piety.


    In the evening, while eating, Zhong Ziqi suddenly remembered something. He seemed to have accidentally heard in town today that there is a genius doctor who is very good at treating diseases, and he can''t cure them without him, but most people don¡¯t know where this genius doctor is.


    Zhong Ziqi wanted to find Zhao Zhengan''s headache, but it was always so painful. It''s just that he doesn''t have a clue as to where to find, he doesn''t even have a destination. He talked about it to Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan smiled carelessly: "If you can find it, go and have a look. It doesn''t matter if you can''t find it, it won''t affect my normal life."


    Zhong Ziqi poked him in disapproval, and he secretly decided to find the genius doctor for everything.


    In the morning, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan went to town together. Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng were surprised when they saw him go together.


    "Didn''t Ziqi say that you are not okay? Why are you here?" Zhao Ning looked at him curiously. They used to have little contact with Zhong Ziqi before they gradually got along better, but this suddenly recovered. Yes, he and Zhao Sheng only occasionally come into contact with them when they go in the morning.


    "If you listen to him, I will have to cultivate for a few months before I can see people." Zhao Zhengan smiled helplessly, but he was still very useful. Someone worried about him, except for grandpa and grandma, no one else was like this. Concerned about him.


    "I''m doing good for you too. Are you unhappy?" Zhong Ziqi gave him a sideways look. If you dare to say a word, I will make you look good.


    Zhao Zhengan immediately understood and said flatteringly: "I am happy, this proves that you care about me and like me."


    Zhong Ziqi poked his waist and said, "What are you talking about!" What kind of love is said in the public.


    Zhao Ning watched the two flirting with a black line: "Hey, hey, don''t ignore the two of us, okay? It''s really not good for you to show affection like this." Zhao Ning is bitter, there are still two unsuccessful things. At home, can you be careful not to irritate people.


    All the way noisy and noisy to the town, when I went to Huang Ah Mo¡¯s house to pick up the wooden cart, I happened to see another wooden cart at Huang Am¡¯¡¯s house. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan looked at each other, knowing Huang Ah, they thought. That''s it, Uncle Huang is a carpenter, he''s fast, and he made the cart in one day''s work.


    Sure enough, without waiting for Zhong Ziqi''s inquiry, Huang Ama took the initiative to tell him to go out with him today.


    "Then the feeling is good, Huang Ama is right next to me." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile.


    Today¡¯s wharf is as lively as ever. Zhong Ziqi¡¯s booth is busy, but Zhong Ziqi is the most leisurely. Zhao Zhengan rushed to do his work of kneading dough and fritters. He was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, and slowly became more and more skilled. Now, Zhong Ziqi was emptied immediately. When he saw nothing wrong, he helped Huang Ahma next door sell porridge. When someone bought fried dough sticks, he would tell people that the porridge is the best match. Everyone is Zhong Ziqi¡¯s **** rice. Si, after hearing what he said, I immediately bought a bowl of porridge and fried dough sticks at Huang Ah''s house, not to mention it was really delicious.


    More and more people are buying one after another.


    After noon, Zhong Ziqi''s fried dough sticks were sold out as usual, and even the porridge with Huang Ama''s family was sold out. Huang Ama grinned and counted the money while not forgetting to thank Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhao Zhengan smiled and replied: "If there is anything to thank, we have to thank you and Uncle Huang for taking care of us."


    Huang Ama sighed: "It''s not easy for anyone to take care of what is not taken care of. Living a life is better than everything."


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi nodded and said yes.


    In Zhao¡¯s village not far away, news about Zhao Zheng¡¯an¡¯s recovery had already spread. Some people laughed by, some gloated, some regretted and annoyed, and some had a wishful thinking. In short, everyone has a different mentality, but nothing. All of them were curious about Zhao Zhengan''s attitude. At that time, the Zhao family did too much and didn''t believe that Zhao Zhengan could treat them calmly.


    If there are too few ancient entertainments, the most talked about is the trivial things of these parents, which are just as fun and interesting as watching TV.


    Not long after Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan returned home, Wang Cuihua sent a bowl of dumplings. It looked like they were full of dumplings, but there weren''t many of them, and they weren¡¯t enough for one person.


    This time, Wang Cuihua was so obedient and very reserved, sitting for a while and then left, saying that she would bring them something delicious next time.


    Zhong Ziqi took a dumpling with her hand and tasted it, smashed her mouth and said, "It''s a vegetable stuffing, it''s still Chinese cabbage. I thought it could be a bit meaty, not even the oil. Tsk tsk, just like this, he will please you or Please please me, who can eat more than 20 dumplings!"


    Zhao Zhengan pinched his tender face: "That''s not bad. I haven''t been so generous in hitting the ego. You can''t eat white noodles a few times a month, let alone give it to others to eat."


    "You said, what can he save after being so searched? In the end, his child''s husband seems to be malnourished." Zhong Ziqi disagrees with this approach. In his opinion, save everything and don''t save anything. A good health is the capital of the revolution. If you break down, how can you make money?


    "Let''s eat it for you." Zhong Ziqi pushed the dumplings to Zhao Zhengan, and sat in a chair with his chin to watch him finish eating: "He did not taste good, someday I will buy some meat, I will pack it, it will definitely be better than his. It¡¯s much better, and I can eat enough."


    "Okay, what you cooked is definitely the best." Zhao Zhengan is used to eating delicious Zhong Ziqi''s food, and eating Wang Cuihua''s meal is almost like chewing wax. There are two extremes.


    Two words: unpalatable.

 Chapter 42: Back to Zhongs house

    The next day, after finishing work, Zhong Ziqi went to the market to buy a few catties of meat again, bought two boxes of pastries, and went to Zhong''s house with the fabrics he bought last time.


    In order to have a certain effect, they specialize in walking from crowded places. Someone asked them where to go? Carrying so many good things. Zhong Ziqi will smile and answer: "Go back to Zhong''s house and see my grandpa and grandma."


    Then I got a lot of praise. The Zhong family treated Zhong Ziqi even more. The filial piety period had not passed, so they were sold. As the elders, the grandparents, Ah Mo, were even weaker and incompetent. Relatives, they won''t care about them.


    When they arrived at the Zhong''s house, their family happened to be there. Zhong Ziqi ignored Li Xiujuan''s disgusting smile and said hello directly to the second old Zhong''s family: "Grandpa, Ma, I''ll see you, this is for you."


    Zhong Ziqi put the things in her hands on the table, Li Xiujuan immediately smiled and looked at the things one by one. There are meat and pastries, which are not cheap. Their family can have a good meal. When you see two colors When the fabric was deeply old, he threw it aside unwillingly.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t pay attention, but Zhao Zhengan laughed secretly. When Zhong Ziqi chose the fabric, he chose the color suitable for the elderly. It is very old. If young people wear it, it will be particularly ugly and old-fashioned. This Li Xiujuan probably wants to take up the fabric. I already have it, but I don''t think it''s ugly.


    "Brother Qi is back, your grandfather and I miss you." Ma Ama grabbed Zhong Ziqi''s hand and smiled amiably, no longer the indifferent expression he had when he married. At the beginning, the predecessor of this body begged the two old men not to sell him, but the two old men didn''t even let go.


    "That''s right, you kid, our two families are not far away, and you often don''t come back to see you. Your grandparents will talk to me when they are fine. I miss you and want to see you." Zhong Zhenping agreed. , And then turned his eyes to look at Zhao Zhengan who was silent: "I heard that Zhengan has recovered, so the relationship is better, otherwise Qi brother will have to blame us for a lifetime."


    Zhao Zhengan smiled politely and didn''t speak. He didn''t understand the situation of the Zhong family, so silence was the best.


    However, Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t even look at him and said to the two old people: ¡°In the future, I will come to see you every New Year¡¯s Day. I think this is my biggest concession. I am a married brother and have no support. Your obligation, come and see you in your spare time, you should be content too."


    Everyone is silent...


    Unexpectedly, Zhong Ziqi didn''t even want to do it, so he would save them face in front of her husband.


    "Daddy, Eminem." A clear voice rang, and two children about the same age as Zhong Ziqi came out of the house that once belonged to Zhong Ziqi''s family. They were Zhong Zhenping''s two children, Zhong Zijun and Zhong Ziheng.


    The two who ran into the house finally saw that there were other people in the house, and this person was not someone else, but the nominal cousin they hated the most.


    Zhong Zhenping hurriedly pulled the two children to reprimand: "It''s noisy, what''s it like, why don''t you say hello when you see your cousin, please call someone."


    Although Zhong Zijun and Zhong Ziheng were reluctant, they still did not dare to oppose their father, so they had to call people unwillingly: "Cousin."


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the two with a smile but didn''t talk. If there is a parent, there will be a child. This is true. Although it was not a single shot, because Zhao Zhengan is not such a person, the two children of the Zhong family are the same as their families. When they grow up, they are Li Xiujuan and Zhong Zhenping.


    Zhong Zhenping didn''t know what was thinking, his eyes flickered, and he licked his face and leaned forward: "Brother Qi, I remember that you were fine when you were young, and our family can''t give birth, right? Let Zijun and Ziheng go to your place if nothing happens in the future. Stop by, let''s say you are so busy now, let the two children help you, save them always stay at home."


    "Don''t, don''t worry, I''m not busy at all. Besides, if someone helps me, I am not short of people at all." Zhong Ziqi refused their intentional request. He promised that he was a fool.


    "Then how can it be the same. You can''t pay labor money to the two children of the Zhao family. You let Zijun and Ziheng go. What kind of labor money is still used by the family? You can save it, and this is for you. Good." Li Xiujuan said "acceptably".


    "No, I''m also afraid that someone will work in my place and learn the technology to set up a new one. Then I won''t be worth the loss." Zhong Ziqi said leisurely after taking a sip of water.


    Zhao Zhengan on the side really felt that his wife''s mouth was too powerful, and too capable.


    Mr. Zhong was upset on his face and slapped the table with a scolding, "What are you talking about? What a separate door? You let those outsiders help you. You are not afraid of them stealing the teacher. On the contrary, you don¡¯t believe us. We are all. A family, that family should help each other, whatever your family¡¯s my family¡¯s, if there are good things in our own family, it¡¯s right."


    Zhong Ziqi doesn''t even bother to sneer right now, is this family''s brain flooded? This actually blamed him.


    Zhao Zhengan clapped his hands comfortingly, and looked at Mr. Zhong, his voice was gentle, but not warm: "I think everyone seems to have forgotten me. I am the master of our family. I say everything in this family. After all, it''s not like some people listen to their daughter-in-law." Zhao Zhengan insinuates that Zhong Zhenping listened to Li Xiujuan to sell Zhong Ziqi.


    "Zhong Ziqi is already married to me. He belongs to our family. Everyone has heard that sentence. The water thrown out by the married brother is forced out and he will no longer belong to your family. Don¡¯t say he can¡¯t agree to this matter, even if he agrees, I still don¡¯t agree. I have to let him divide my business if he comes to a cat or dog. We are not that kind. Even me, they want to get together. I don¡¯t agree with you, let alone you.¡± Zhao Zhengan said with a chuckle. Sure enough, there are hard-to-read scriptures in every family, and it¡¯s not just the best of their family, and the daughter-in-law is nothing like her family. Fun thing.


    Everyone in the Zhong family turned their faces in various colors, Zhao Zhengan told them plainly, don''t think too much of yourself, no one takes them seriously.


    "You are an unfilial son, the Zhong family raised you and finally raised a white-eyed wolf." The old man Zhong couldn''t hold his face and said angrily. He couldn''t say Zhao Zhengan, after all, he was not his own, so he could only aim at Zhong Ziqi.


    "Stop, my father and my Eminem are raising me. I didn''t use you to raise me. If you want to talk about it like this, I have to talk about it. Why should he pay for my dad''s monthly two-tier money? You have always built the house your family lives in with my father¡¯s money. You live in your uncle¡¯s house. The uncle¡¯s daily expenses are still ours. Did he give you a penny? I¡¯m afraid I haven¡¯t even seen a copper plate. Come on? Why do you think my father raises your family? When they die, you eagerly sold their only child again and occupied our house. Now you are still occupying my husband''s house. Don¡¯t you say that you¡¯re not unwilling to lose? Are you afraid that my father will come to you to be reasonable? When you die, I will see how you face him." Zhong Ziqi said coldly, knowing that he would have to provoke him once he came back. All in trouble.


    The old lady Zhong''s face was blue, and the old Ah Ma also had tears in his eyes. He didn''t know if it was guilt or fear. Zhong Zhenping''s husband was calm. Instead, Zhong Zijun and Zhong Ziheng were no longer doing it. They no longer live in the house and want to move back.


    "Okay, I won''t wait too much. I won¡¯t be looking for any more in the future. People are more self-knowledge. It saves me not happy to do anything bad. As you know, I work in the town. Working in the town, I know a lot of people. Dealing with you is really a matter of raising your hands." After saying that Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan got up and prepared to go home. He believed that these words could shock them for a while. .


    After coming out of Zhong''s house, Zhong Ziqi looked up and down Zhao Zhengan, looking thoughtful.


    "What are you looking at?" Zhao Zhengan looked down at himself and found nothing wrong.


    Zhong Ziqi approached him unkindly: "You just said that you are in charge of our house? I have to listen to you in everything?"


    "Um... how is it possible, our family listens to you, and I listen to you." Zhao Zhengan raised his hand when he saw him with a look of suspicion: "I swear."


    Only then Zhong Ziqi was satisfied, and patted him on the shoulder with a gentle expression: "We will be the masters together and discuss things together."


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him amused, and pulled the soft little hand over his shoulders and held it in his palm: "Okay, I''ll listen to you."


    Zhong Ziqi was taken aback by the temperature coming from his palm, and conditioned to earn, but the more he struggled, the tighter he was gripped. Zhong Ziqi simply gave up allowing him to pull, and his ears reddened and gave him a glance: " Come back home."


    Zhao Zhengan looked cute in Zhong Ziqi''s red ears. He was afraid that Zhong Ziqi would not be used to being a gentleman and did not do too much to him. Now it seems that everything is worth it.


    In the end, just as Zhong Ziqi thought, the Zhong family disappeared quite well and never went to him to provoke a moth.


    This topic of Zhong Ziqi''s family was replaced by another topic in a blink of an eye. That''s the topic of business in Zhao Amo''s family. Zhao Baogen was honest with his ancestors for three generations, and he had never made a big deal. How could it not surprise people to suddenly do business.


    Many people think that Zhao Baogen¡¯s family must have learned Zhong Ziqi¡¯s craftsmanship, and they have to set up another door. The people in the village are waiting to see the jokes, but they were surprised that the things made by the Zhao family and those sold by Zhong Ziqi There is no relationship at all, and, ah, I heard that I am going to partner with Zhao Wang''s tofu shop, but I haven''t seen Zhao Wang''s mouth that can''t be closed in the past few days.


    Reasonable people have seen signs, and there must be Zhong Ziqi among them.


    Everyone is jealous, and all good things have become theirs, but it''s useless for them to complain. The Zhao family''s business is still booming.

 Chapter 43: Mid-Autumn Festival

    The stall of Zhao¡¯s family is just opposite to Zhong Ziqi¡¯s stall. The delicious taste has received unanimous praise. Those who have the money will spend a few more dollars on a bowl of tofu nao, and those who have no money will eat it with white porridge and fried dough sticks. Still very fragrant.


    The diners ate the incense, and the vendors also made a lot of money, and everyone was happy.


    Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, autumn is here, and the temperature is no longer the heat of summer. Walking out of the village is a field of wheat, no longer the greenery, and the autumn harvest time is here!


    Zhong Ziqi¡¯s home is the least in the village. When others are busy drinking water, Zhong Ziqi does business in the morning and cut wheat with Zhao Zhengan in the afternoon. It is the first time that Zhong Ziqi does this kind of farm work and almost can''t get out of bed. After only working for a long time, the waist hurts and the legs are soft. If it weren''t for his strong request, Zhao Zhengan would not let him go out of the stall.


    Zhao Zhengan told him several times that if there is not enough land, he can do it, and it will be done in two days, but Zhong Ziqi just twisted, his waist and knees are sore because of not adapting, let''s say one more person finishes the job early.


    In this way, when other people are busy, their house has already finished harvesting, and all the grains are dried in his yard, because there is little need to go to the factory yard to grab space with them.


    Zhao A has a lot of land, so there is no time to go out to set up a stall, and Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng Zhong Ziqi directly gave them a holiday, let them go home to help the family reclaim the land, and Zhao Zhengan will help him with his work here. .


    In fact, it was precisely because of the autumn harvest season that most of the workers in the town went home to reclaim land, and the business on the dock dropped a lot. Uncle Song next door sighed and said that business was too bleak these days.


    However, Zhong Ziqi''s business is as good as ever, even if there is not much left. Zhao Zhengan will come, as long as there is something left, he will send it to the surrounding vendors to show that they are good-looking, and they are good at talking. In a few days, he will get along with the uncles around Ama, see. Zhong Ziqi was stunned for a moment, and felt that Zhao Zhengan was very good at communication, and no one could be guilty of doing everything. Of course, if he offended him, he might also say that he didn''t care, and stabbed you in the back.


    Wang Cuihua¡¯s family has no time to harass Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi. Their two adults and a half-year-old child are busy enough. Zhao Zhengan used to do a lot of things, and he did the most tiring thing. Now without him, the burden is on Zhao Cheng. Don¡¯t think that Zhao Cheng is usually lazy and not talkative, but he has a bad temper. He belongs to the kind of bullying and afraid of hardship. When eating and drinking were not going well, he became furious, so scared that Wang Cuihua and Zhao Zhenghong didn''t dare to say a word, if anyone dared to refute a word, he would be taken to whom.


    On this day, Zhong Ziqi came back from the town and bought two catties of meat¡ªmaking dumplings, making dumplings is a troublesome job. As a big man, Zhong Ziqi, no matter how many lives he has lived, is still troublesome!


    However, he likes to eat dumplings, he is not picky in taste, as long as it is delicious.


    Whether it¡¯s dumpling stuffing or cooking, if you can¡¯t bear to add seasonings, it won¡¯t be delicious. Zhong Ziqi has his own standards for adjusting stuffing. He also got the standard after many experiments. After mixing the dumpling stuffing, Zhong Ziqi greets Zhao Zhengan. Make dumplings.


    "I... don''t need it." Zhao Zhengan looked at Zhong Ziqi''s embarrassed plan to shrink back. How could he make dumplings for such a delicate job as a man.


    "You also learn, it''s very simple, you accompany me to pack faster." Zhong Ziqi said. One person is not as motivated to do things as two people together. Besides, as long as the dumplings are made without revealing the fillings, if they are revealed-let him eat them, Zhong Ziqi thought happily.


    Zhao Zhengan was helpless, but sat down obediently, and took the dumpling wrappers and put the right amount of stuffing in according to Zhong Ziqi''s instructions.


    "Then evenly put the stuffing in the middle, and then pinch it, making sure that there are no gaps, otherwise it will be exposed as soon as it is cooked."


    "Oh." Zhao Zhengan said that he understood, and then he tried hard¡ªit broke.


    Zhong Ziqi "..."


    "You have too much strength, so reduce your strength."


    Zhao Zhengan calmly picked up a dumpling wrapper again and put it on the filling. This time he didn''t dare to use too much force, and fold the wrapper in half and pinch it from the left to the right. After making sure that there were no gaps, he sat on the table with satisfaction, and Compared with the small and exquisite wrinkled dumplings that Zhong Ziqi wrapped, his dumplings were really ugly. They could only lie on the table and couldn''t stand up.


    Zhao Zhengan was a little hit.


    "Puff" Zhong Ziqi laughed ruthlessly: "Hahaha."


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him depressed, and threw the dumpling wrappers on the table: "No more."


    "Don''t...don''t...I''m not smiling...really." Zhong Ziqi patted her face and tried hard to hold back her smile.


    Looking at the rosy face and the watery eyes, "You laugh again... I will kiss you again." Zhao Zhengan suddenly changed his style and said with a smirk.


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t hold her smile, and the arc of her mouth couldn''t bend at all.


    Zhao Zhengan smiled treacherously, and kissed him quickly, but the sweet smell was as good as he imagined. He couldn''t help but pry open his lips and teeth, and leaned into his tongue to hook inside to avoid the entanglement of the soft and soft tongue. Dance together.


    When Zhong Ziqi reacted, he felt a burst of hypoxia hitting him. He wanted to struggle, but his body became weak and his mind was dizzy.


    When did Zhao Zhengan stop? He didn''t know, he only knew that when he recovered, Zhao Zhengan was looking at him tenderly, and his thumb could not keep sliding on his lips.


    Zhong Ziqi''s conditioned reflex bite. Then he stiffened, and quickly spit out the messy fingers in his mouth. Zhong Ziqi covered his mouth with a flushed face, and looked at him accusingly: "What are you...what are you doing? Making dumplings!"


    He didn''t give him any preparation, but how could he be so skilled? Isn¡¯t there no relationship?


    Zhao Zhengan smashed his mouth, with endless aftertaste: "Make dumplings, keep making dumplings.


    "You...you...you" Zhong Ziqi pointed at him angrily.


    "I...I...what''s wrong with me?" Zhao Zhengan said with a look of confusion.


    "...It''s nothing." Zhong Ziqi wanted to say that I would be like a okay person after you kissed me, but I think this question is a bit stupid, so I still don''t ask.


    Zhao Zhengan hooked the corner of his mouth secretly.


    Next, Zhao Zhengan''s dumplings didn''t make any progress, and they were as ugly as ever, but Zhong Ziqi just laughed in her heart, but on the surface she didn''t dare to show it, so as not to incur unreasonable disaster again.


    The two of them packed together, talking and laughing, and then they packed all the dumplings. Zhao Zhengan consciously went to boil hot water, while Zhong Ziqi pounded garlic cloves. After the water boiled, Zhong Ziqi slowly put the weird dumplings in the pot and stirred them.


    It will be fished out in more than ten minutes.


    Except for a few dumplings that were in the water, everything else was intact. Zhao Zhengan was spared the disaster of eating leaky dumplings.


    Zhao Zhengan didn''t dislike the heat, and put one in his mouth, the dumplings filled with meat were so fragrant in his heart. Zhao Zhengan gave Zhong Ziqi a thumbs up, and Zhong Ziqi triumphantly accepted his praise.


    The autumn harvest is the time when people are diligent and lazy. They reap the land quickly, and others with slow hands have a lot of money left after they have finished harvesting.


    Zhao Amo¡¯s family belongs to the former. After harvesting, they will leave Zhao Baogen and Zhao Sheng at home to dry. He and Zhao Ning will go to the town to set up a stall. Every day is a large amount of income, so much money is lost for a day.


    What''s more, people in the town said that his tofu brain has become one of the top five foods in their town. The number one is naturally Zhong Ziqi''s fried dough sticks. Although the business of cold noodles has declined in autumn, people who have eaten it for a summer still treat the cold noodles. Noodles ranked in the top five. There are two others that make spicy lobster and crystal cake. Zhong Ziqi has eaten them. They really taste good.


    Just a few days after the autumn harvest, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhong Ziqi is not all-rounder and can''t make mooncakes. He carefully selected mooncakes of various flavors in the town.


    A total of five copies were made, one for Huang A¡¯ma¡¯s family, one for Zhao A¡¯ma¡¯s family, one for Zhong¡¯s family, one for Wang Cuihua¡¯s family, and the last one for the village chief¡¯s house. The five families who received the mooncakes were naturally happy, and they were left with a portion of the mooncake money when they got closer together.


    On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhong Ziqi cooked a table full of dishes and set a small jar of wine. It is the peach wine he brewed. He opened the altar only yesterday and filtered it. After Zhao Zhengan tried it, it tasted good. It tasted carefully and it was slightly sweet with peaches. The alcohol content is not particularly high, and children can do it. drink.


    "Let''s eat." Zhong Ziqi greeted Zhao Zhengan to sit down and eat after he was busy.


    Two bowls of wine were poured, one was handed to Zhao Zhengan, and the other was taken by himself.


    "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Zhong Ziqi raised his bowl and said seriously. This is his first Mid-Autumn Festival here. He must be treated with caution. Although he is in a different world, he still lives happily.


    "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival." Zhao Zhengan touched him after finishing talking, and drank each one.


    After drinking, Zhong Ziqi slapped her lips and thought it was good, then poured a full bowl for the two of them, clinking glasses with two mouthfuls of dishes.


    Afterwards, Zhong Ziqi couldn''t remember clearly. He only remembered that he was very happy, so he drank a bowl of wine, and he was a little sad. He drank another bowl of wine, and then lost his memory.


    Zhong Ziqi sat on the bed rubbing his temples annoyedly, he was not drunk, right.


    Zhao Zhengan woke up sometime, and looked at him interestingly: "Alcohol is so low, you can be drunk like this, so amazing."


    Zhong Ziqi beat her chest and missed the moon viewing, but it seems that this body has a relatively low alcohol acceptance. He had a good amount of alcohol in his previous life, and at least a bottle of skin would definitely not be poured.


    "Did I do anything excessive last night?" Zhong Ziqi looked serious, and he still paid attention to his own image.


    "Um...nothing excessive."


    Zhong Ziqi just breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Zhengan went on to say: "Just holding me and crying, wiped my nose and tears on me."


    Zhong Ziqi black thread, is this really him? Why didn''t he have any impression: "Anything else?"

 Chapter 44: Zhao Sheng retires

    "Also... Is there any nonsense? What baba... I don''t understand what you are talking about." Zhao Zhengan''s eyes slipped a trace of doubt.


    Zhong Ziqi was frantic when he heard the words, and as expected, drinking was a misfortune, so he almost said it out. It seems that in the future, he will have to drink less.


    I woke up late today. The sky outside was already bright. Zhong Ziqi hurriedly dressed and tied his hair in front of the mirror. He hates combing his hair the most. It is too long. I really want to cut it into a flat size with a pair of scissors, but unfortunately he will be treated as a different kind. of.


    Zhong Ziqi combed his hair in front of the mirror, and saw inadvertently that there was a red mark on his neck. He pulled the collar suspiciously and found that there was also under the collarbone. He turned and asked the man wearing clothes behind him: "Look, what is this? ?"


    The man didn''t change his face: "Oh... was bitten by a mosquito? You won''t listen to you if you are asked to cover the quilt at night."


    Zhong Ziqi looked in the mirror again suspiciously, and there was no bag or itching, so I didn''t want to. After finishing her clothes, Zhong Ziqi went to cook.


    Zhao Zhengan inside the house breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed out as if thinking of something again.


    The few jars of wine brewed at home are ready to drink, so he left it to Zhao Zhengan for the problem of selling, and he had a lot of free time every day.


    After thinking about it, Zhao Zhengan took a few fruit wines to Jinhua. Now that his wife is in alliance with Jinhua, he will naturally not choose another one.


    I won¡¯t elaborate on the various polite admirations in the middle, but Zhong Ziqi was stunned by a few large silver ingots when he got home, holding them for a long time and couldn¡¯t recover. Zhao Zhengan shook his head, he liked it His silly energy.


    "Treasurer Jin said that we can brew more in the future." Zhao Zhengan brought the words to Zhong Ziqi.


    "It''s a lot of brewing, it can make a lot of money." Zhong Ziqi was embarrassed after she was happy holding the big silver ingot. The small gap on this bed must not fit, so where should I put it?


    Finally, Zhao Zhengan couldn''t stand it anymore, put him under the closet, and clicked on the lock.


    "Huh? Where did you get the lock?" Zhong Ziqi looked surprised.


    "I bought it, give you the key." A small key appeared in Zhao Zhengan''s palm.


    Zhong Ziqi happily took the key and put it away. With the lock, he can feel relieved a lot, and the province is always afraid of losing it.


    "By the way, I remember, I used to hear Zhao Amo say that Brother Sheng is going to have a happy event after the autumn harvest. Why haven''t I heard the news these days?" Zhong Ziqi suddenly remembered this and asked Zhao Zhengan if he knew it. Going on.


    Zhao Zhengan thought for a while and shook his head. He hadn''t heard Zhao Ama mention it.


    "I remember Shengzi mentioned that his unmarried brother seemed to be introduced by his uncle, as if he and his uncle had relatives." Zhao Zhengan said.


    "Oh, forget it, let''s not talk about other people''s things, we will naturally know when the time comes." Zhong Ziqi said without taking it seriously.


    It''s just that one day Zhong Ziqi discovered that Huang Ama, who was setting up a stall with him, did not appear, and even Zhao Sheng did not appear, but Zhao Ning came here with a bad expression.


    "What''s the matter? Who made you angry? Why didn''t Zhao Ama and Sheng brother come?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    Zhao Ning shook his head hesitantly. He was a person who couldn''t hide things. Seeing his appearance, something must have happened. But since he doesn''t want to say it, he shouldn''t ask more.


    Only that evening, Zhao Ama went to his house alone.


    "Zhao A, why are you here?" Zhong Ziqi poured a bowl of water for Zhao A and handed it to him, and sat beside Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Ama sighed worriedly: "Hey, I came to you today because I have something for you to help."


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan looked at each other: "What''s the matter? Ah, just say it."


    Zhao A: "Didn''t I go to the stall today? Something happened."


    "Brother Sheng originally had a family relationship, and he was scheduled to have a wedding after the fall of this year. Usually the two children are good for you to come and go with me, so I have to set a date. But... the other day, I suddenly believed a little and said The marriage will be delayed."


    "Maybe there is something?" Zhong Ziqi said uncertainly.


    Zhao Amo shook his head: "His uncle introduced him to the promotion of our son. That brother''s family had a relationship with his uncle. A few days ago, his uncle heard that I was doing business to make money. I want to do it together, do you think I can agree? The business of tofu brain itself is a partnership between me and Wangcai¡¯s family. If he comes in, what else can he make money? I refused. Later, he started from me again. I need a formula here. This formula is not mine. I can''t tell him. Now, his uncle is not happy. He talks yin and yang strangely. Soon the brother''s family believed it a little bit and said it was delayed. I guess it is. His uncle is playing tricks behind."


    After talking, Zhao Ama took a big sip of water, wiped his mouth and said, "Today, your uncle Bao Gen and I took Zhao Sheng to find that brother''s house, and it happened that his uncle was there. Hey, although I was surprised to see me there, but I didn¡¯t take it seriously. He also told me clearly that this was the ghost he had made from it, and the intention was to exchange the formula for the marriage. I asked the brother¡¯s meaning, who knows they fell. Good things are not about yourself, but the attitude is obviously on his uncle¡¯s side. That brother hid in the house and didn¡¯t come out to see my Shengzi. When Shengzi got angry, he said to remarry. Neither he nor I persuaded him Live, and finally gave up the marriage."


    "Zhao Ah, in my opinion, it''s okay to retire, family and everything are happy. This is a tofu brain. If your family makes a lot of money in the future, you still can''t figure out what moths are. Instead of quitting like this, you should retire. Honest and capable, still anxious to find a good brother?"


    Zhao Zhengan said with relatives that he was the most man, and a man who had also been retired. He felt that Zhao Sheng did a good job in this matter, and he supported him. That brother''s family has too little standpoint, so he should stand. Don¡¯t you know which side? In the future, they will not be able to see who is good for them, but now they will not be robbed by stealing chickens, and they will not regret it if they don''t believe it.


    "Yes, it''s actually the same when you think about it. It''s just that the child Shengzi has been unhappy, just acting like nothing has happened, but I and his father are in the eyes, how can we not know him It¡¯s hard for us to persuade him. Why don¡¯t you help me persuade him. It¡¯s not good for his health if he is holding back like this.¡± Zhao Ama said worriedly.


    "Okay, ah, go back and tell Shengzi that I have something to do with him, let him come, and our brothers will talk." Zhao Zhengan nodded and agreed.


    "Then I will go back now." Zhao Ama stood up and hurried back.


    After a while, Zhao Sheng came: "Zheng''an, are you looking for something to do with me?"


    "It''s okay, just ask you to accompany me to drink some wine." Zhao Zhengan motioned to Zhong Ziqi to get some vegetables, and Zhong Ziqi went to the kitchen knowingly.


    Zhao Sheng was taken aback and then smiled bitterly, "I told you?"


    "Say, you, let me persuade you not to hold it in your heart, there are many good friends."


    "Yeah, there are many good brothers, but I really like him and always think he is very good, but today he was closed behind closed doors. I am very disappointed and sad." Zhao Sheng remembered the situation today. Stomach fire.


    This reminded Zhao Zhengan of his divorced marriage. He told Zhao Zhengan as a joke: "At the time, I also felt that this is my ideal wife, gentle and considerate, just as bad as you. It¡¯s a pity that when I was injured, my family ran away. The relationship between two or three years is so worthless."


    Zhao Sheng didn''t expect Zhao Zhengan to have such a thing. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be this incident in his memory. He patted Zhao Zhengan''s shoulder comfortingly, and at the same time, the end of the world fell into disrepair.


    Zhao Zhengan changed his expression of happiness again: "But I thank those who have fallen into trouble. Otherwise, how can I marry Ziqi? This is a mistake. What is lost does not mean the best, but it means He is not for you."


    Zhao Sheng was blinded by the happiness of his face, but he still agreed with his words, and the depression in his heart also disappeared a lot.


    In the evening, Zhao Zhengan and Zhao Sheng drank a small wine while chatting, Zhong Ziqi occasionally interjected, but it was interesting to hear.


    When the moon was on the branch, Zhao Baogen couldn''t help looking for him, and he received a son who was drunk and muddled.


    Zhao Zhengan was also a little bit drunk: "Uncle Baogen, don''t worry, Shengzi has already looked away."


    "Thank you so much. Shengzi is like me when he is young. He doesn''t like talking. He is always bored when things happen. I am afraid of boring him with him." Zhao Baogen said a lot of rare words. , Only helped his son back home.


    Zhong Ziqi closed the door and turned to look at Zhao Zhengan with a smile but a smile: "Gentle and considerate brother?"


    Zhao Zhengan woke up most of the time when he heard the words, and squatted and said: "You... have you heard all of them?"


    "Unfortunately, I just heard it, why haven''t I heard you say it?" Zhong Ziqi smiled beautifully.


    Zhao Zhengan broke out in a cold sweat: "That... it''s all about Chen Zhizhi''s rotten grains, so I didn''t want to mention it again, and that brother was already engaged, so he soon retired from my marriage and soon be married to other people."


    "Oh...Is it so regrettable in my heart? Very wronged?"


    "Why, don''t listen to my nonsense, I have to say to comfort Shengzi, don''t you know what I think in my heart?" Zhao Zhengan said flatly.


    "How can I know what you think in your heart, as the saying goes, he doesn''t know his heart."


    "Of course I only thought of you in my heart. That guy only thought he had a good personality at the time, but I didn''t have deep feelings. In that situation, I just retired from the marriage. I just thought of them. You heard what I said. You should have heard me say, I''m so glad that they gave up on me and let me meet you. To you, my feelings are different. The first time I feel so emotional, so cute, so loving..."Zhao Zhengan Said affectionately.


    "Stop...stop! It''s too numb, I know it, I believe you, come in." Zhong Ziqi got goosebumps, turned and walked back, but he was cheering in his heart. This is his confession. Well, although the situation was wrong, he accepted it.


    "Daughter-in-law, you have to believe me, I... I will follow you in this life." Zhao Zhengan shouted behind him.


    "...Don''t yell, I heard it, I''ll pack up and go to bed soon." Fortunately, there is no one around here, otherwise it would be really shameful.


    Zhao Zhengan scratched his head, why didn''t he see his reaction? At the very least, you have to make a statement, don''t hang him like that.

 Chapter 45: Facade

    Not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhong Ziqi''s small stall changed again. Zhao Zhengan found Zhong Ziqi to be too hard in the wind and sun every day, so he found a shop in the town for him.


    The facade is not very big, and there is a certain amount of rent every day. Zhong Ziqi consulted with Zhao Ama and Huang Ama. The three companies will rent this facade together. Then, any good things they make at home can be put in the store, one for each person.


    It is very close to the pier, so there is no need to worry about losing customers. And there are a few tables in front of the shop, one by one for eating, just right.


    Zhao A-Ma and Huang A-Ma went home to ponder, and felt that the matter was worthwhile. Anyway, following Brother Qi, they couldn''t be wrong, and the two agreed to Zhong Ziqi''s proposal.


    On the day when the rent was paid, Zhao Ama and Huang Ama followed, and then each took out their own money and rented the store for a month. Although I felt distressed that most of the money I earned was lost all of a sudden, but thinking that I would earn more than this in the future, I felt a lot better.


    Because Uncle Huang is a carpenter, Zhong Ziqi asked Uncle Huang to make a wooden plaque and apply a layer of bright paint, and then he wrote the words "quite delicious" with his pen.


    Zhao Zhengan praised his good handwriting. He himself has been away for so many years, and he has recognized a lot of words, but if he is asked to write, it is almost like a dog.


    Since they were always going in and out of the store, everyone soon knew that the best stall on the pier had moved, but fortunately, he hadn''t moved far and was still near the pier.


    When everything was ready, this "quite delicious" opened smoothly. The two firecrackers in front of the door crackled and kept thinking about it. Both adults and children covered their ears and hid away. Until the firecrackers were over, everyone came over to Zhong Ziqi and said they were happy. Whether it was Huang Ah, or Zhao Ah, the people on the dock were familiar with them. They didn¡¯t live one by one. I started ordering my favorite, and ate a lot.


    Zhong Ziqi was busy selling fried dough sticks in the store, while Zhao Zhengan stood at the door to greet the guests: "If you enter the store in the future, if you consume 15 copper plates, we will have a chance to draw a lottery. There are various mysterious rewards for this prize. Oh."


    When the customer heard the words, he was immediately aroused by curiosity: "What reward? Tell us about it."


    Brother Zhao Zhengan draped the man''s shoulders nicely: "Mystery prizes, of course, you only know if you eat them. If I tell them in advance, there will be no surprises."


    "Boss, give me ten cents of fried dough sticks and a bowl of tofu nao, how about? Enough for fifteen cents, right?" a guest asked loudly.


    Zhao Ning brought him the food, collected the money and said something to wait. Walked away for a while.


    Everyone stretched their necks and waited for what kind of surprise there would be. After a while, Zhao Ning took a bamboo tube with a lot of bamboo sticks in it, and put it on the person''s table: "Objective, you can pick one."


    The man looked left and right to see that the call was coming, but after a while he gave up: "Can I shake it?" The man was also afraid of fraud.


    "Yes." Zhao Ning handed him the bamboo tube.


    The man took it and shook it like a dice.


    "Zhao Laoliu can do it soon? Did he have a gambling addiction again?" Someone familiar with that person anxiously exposed his old bottom.


    The man scratched his head awkwardly, put down the bamboo tube and looked around, and finally picked a bamboo stick in the middle, and couldn''t wait to take it out to see what it was. There were indeed a few small characters under the bamboo stick, but he was illiterate and had to look at Zhao. Ning asked what he meant.


    Zhao Ning was trained by Zhong Ziqi, so he took a look: "Congratulations to the guest, this sign is written with a penny reward." Zhao Ning said and showed the bamboo sticks to the onlookers to look at, and the literate nodded. It is indeed a reward for a penny.


    "So we returned a penny objectively to this person, promise, the guest official''s penny will be collected." Zhao Ning took a penny and handed it to that person.


    The man smiled in his arms and found it interesting.


    The onlookers also found it very interesting. They also ordered food for 15 cents. Some got one cent, some even got two cents, some got an egg, some got two fried dough sticks, etc. It''s not the same, but as more people are drawn, there is a kind of bamboo stick that has also been drawn, that is, "Thank you for your patronage."


    The people who got the draw stupidly asked if it was the big prize?


    Zhao Ning explained to the man, the man was immediately depressed, why is his hand so mournful? The people around him laughed at him, but gradually, many people drew "Thank you for your patronage." Compared with those with prizes, their luck is really stinky.


    The senior gambler immediately thought about it, it seems that it is not suitable to make a move today, and it must be out of luck. When the gambler is lucky enough, he will happily decide to go to the casino to bet two. Everyone has different thoughts, but they are all attracted by Zhong Ziqi¡¯s unique business methods, the flow of passengers and profits throughout the day. Almost more than doubled than in the past.


    Jin Sheng in the Jinhua restaurant was directly shocked. The crowded shops were almost more crowded than their restaurants. Some people were happy and gleeful, while others were frowning and downcast.


    Jin Sheng was particularly curious and squeezed into the shop, and saw that the layout of the room was divided into three. In the middle is the fried dough sticks sold by Zhong Ziqi. On the left is the rice porridge and pickles sold by Huang Ama, and on the right is the fritters sold by Zhong Ziqi. Tofu brain sold by Zhao Ama.


    Jin Sheng knows that they are all better, so seeing them here together, he is not surprising, but what made him strange was the lottery, which attracted batch after batch of guests.


    "Treasurer Jin, you are coming here, you are welcome." Zhao Zhengan pointedly found Jin Sheng who was standing in the crowd and looking into the room.


    Jin Sheng walked over with a smile: "Your business is still as popular as ever, I am envious of it."


    Zhao Zhengan made a gesture of asking: "Where, where, small businesses, they are all things that are not on the table, they can''t be compared with your big restaurant."


    "You and your family husband are too humble. Your food has become a special food in our town. A few days ago, guests from other countries and I asked about you."


    Zhao Zhengan smiled.


    "I think you did a good job in this sweepstakes, who had the idea?"


    Zhao Zhengan spread his hands: "It certainly won''t be me."


    "It''s Brother Qi again? He has the most thoughts." Jin Sheng doesn''t need to guess who he is. He always sighs with the other''s weird thoughts.


    Zhao Zhengan stood with Jin Sheng in an inconspicuous corner of the store, watching people coming and going, laughing and laughing.


    Zhong Ziqi took time out of her busy schedule to look for Zhao Zhengan, and immediately found him standing in the corner and the treasurer beside him. He was surprised for a moment, then smiled and nodded.


    "You kid, you are blessed, such a good man, some of whom are good friends. They have become your husband." Jin Sheng said.


    "I also think I''m quite blessed. It must be a blessing from my previous life." Zhao Zhengan said triumphantly, secretly vigilant in his heart, and his eyes scanned the surrounding like a radar. Seeing someone look at Zhong Ziqi more, his gaze shot at each other like a knife. My daughter-in-law is too recruiting, good-looking and capable. I really want to keep him in the house and not come out. Unfortunately, his wife''s wishes are not under his control. He can only guard him like a guardian. Drive away all the flies that come up.


    "You talk to your husband. I am very optimistic about his lottery. I plan to implement it in the restaurant and ask him if he has any suggestions." Jin Sheng said.


    "Okay, I''ll definitely bring the words." Zhao Zhengan was not surprised by Jin Sheng''s rhetoric at all. And he believes that within a few days, many shops will follow suit.


    Jin Sheng stayed in the store for a while and then went home. Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi packed a few fresh fried dough sticks for the shopkeeper Jin.


    Zhong Ziqi¡¯s shop did not close until the sun was about to set, and the passenger flow was small. Today, everyone made a profit. Zhao A-mae and Huang A-ma¡¯s mouths couldn¡¯t close together, and Zhao Baogen of Munner rarely showed a big big mouth. His smile, like Uncle Huang, came to take a look in the morning, but he couldn¡¯t leave. He even followed them for a day. Fortunately, the hard work always pays off. Their earnings have turned a lot of money. Times.


    "Thanks to the lottery that Brother Qi thought about, how could he make so much." Huang Ama thanked Zhong Ziqi, he can be described as their great hero. "


    "Yeah, thanks to Brother Qi''s trick, you said these kids are still hiding from us." Zhao Ama complained to Huang Ama, he and Huang Ama hit it off right away, and now the more they get in touch, the more they feel that each other is The temperament I like has become a good friend who talks about everything.


    "Isn''t this a surprise for you." Zhao Ning said with a smile. He was exhausted after a busy day, but he couldn''t stop his happiness.


    "Although it is gratifying to congratulate, the opening today is very successful, but this situation will not last long, I believe that within a few days, this lottery activity will be popular in other shops." Zhao Zhengan said, he did not deliberately poured cold water on a few people. , This is just to prepare them, don''t be happy too early.


    "Yeah, let alone a few days, it is estimated that other restaurants and shops will start to implement tomorrow. Moreover, everyone is also fresh and interesting, and the head will slowly cool down after a long time." Zhong Ziqi agreed with Zhao Zhengan. He believed that the people who came to buy food or watch the excitement today were not pure diners. There must be many spies, even the treasurer Jin was alarmed, let alone other homes.


    "It doesn''t matter, even if it is the same as before, we will not lose money." Zhao Sheng said, at least they won''t let themselves lose money.


    "Yes, not to mention that we can also develop some new dishes ourselves, and the provincial customers will always eat a single meal. So don''t be discouraged, come on." Zhong Ziqi fisted and encouraged.


    "Yes, come on." Zhao Ning also made a fist.


    Several people looked at each other and smiled, cleaned up the shop, and closed the door and went home.

 Chapter 46: help each other

    At night, lying on the bed, Zhong Ziqi naturally leaned against Zhao Zhengan''s arms and listened to Zhao Zhengan''s words.


    "Today, shopkeeper Jin said that Jinhua Restaurant will also organize this event, so you can give your advice." Zhao Zhengan passed the words of shopkeeper Jin to Zhong Ziqi.


    "Let me give advice?" Zhong Ziqi was surprised, Jin Sheng could look up to him.


    "Yeah, who told you to be so capable? I haven''t seen how many men look at you with green eyes today." Zhao Zhengan said in a heartbroken, and now I still want to dig out their eyes! With the passage of time, his possessiveness has become stronger, and he only hopes that the other''s eyes will follow him, although it is unlikely.


    What Zhao Zhengan, who is full of frustration, doesn¡¯t know is that his hopes have actually been realized more than half, because Zhong Ziqi is now accustomed to see Zhao Zhengan no matter what he does. For example, when he is busy today, his eyes will go subconsciously. Chasing Zhao Zhengan''s figure and watching his every move, he would smile unconsciously.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t notice her unconscious behavior because she was in it, but the caring person would feel the bubbles between them.


    "Why, are you worried?" Zhong Ziqi said silently, why didn''t he feel at all?


    "Aren''t you jealous?" Zhong Ziqi had an epiphany and looked up at him unkindly.


    The two heads were close to each other, and they could spray each other''s face with each other''s breath.


    "Jealous?" Zhao Zhengan thought for a few seconds: ""Yes, I''m just jealous, then how can you comfort me? Otherwise, don''t go tomorrow. "


    Zhong Ziqi made a cut: "You are so beautiful, but you still have to comfort you, are you a brother?"


    "Although I''m not a brother, I also have a fragile heart." Zhao Zhengan said boldly, with an expression that you must believe that I am injured.


    Zhong Ziqi was amused and asked jokingly: "Then how do you want me to comfort you?"


    Zhao Zhengan smirked on his ear and said a word.


    Zhong Ziqi immediately blushed and hesitated: "No... that... wait a minute, give me something to prepare."


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him calmly, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, then you can kiss me, kiss me, I''ll be fine."


    Zhong Ziqi bit her lip and felt a little embarrassed, but since the two of them had opened their hearts, there was no need for him to be hypocritical.


    He looked at him up and down and moved his mouth abruptly, but because they didn¡¯t grasp the strength, both of them hissed in pain. Zhong Ziqi embarrassedly wanted to back away. Zhao Zhengan didn¡¯t give him a chance and hugged him. Hold his head to deepen the kiss, and then let it go when both of them are panting.


    "It''s so sweet!" Zhao Zhengan licked his mouth still, his eyes burning.


    Zhong Ziqi glared at him, sweet your sister! You shameless!


    Zhong Ziqi moved, and suddenly felt something hot and hard under him against him. Of course he, who was also a man, knew what it was. He struggled lightly, and Zhao Zhengan''s arms tightened.


    "Let go." Zhong Ziqi said loudly.


    "Daughter-in-law, do you remember that once I hugged you like this and you pushed me to wake me." Zhao Zhengan remembered that in that memory, he stupidly hugged his daughter-in-law and was pouted by the daughter-in-law. Extinct, now he doesn''t want to make the same mistake again.


    "What are you talking about?" Zhong Ziqi looked at him warily, for fear that he might make a bad idea.


    "How do you usually solve it, you also solved it for me." Zhao Zhengan licked his face and approached him, saying expectantly.


    "Go away." Zhong Ziqi pushed him in shock. Of course he knew what he meant, but he himself was a person with less desire, and he rarely gave that one to himself, let alone to others.


    Zhao Zhengan suffocated his mouth aggrievedly, and looked at him pitifully: "Daughter-in-law...help me...it''s uncomfortable!"


    Zhong Ziqi ignored him, Zhao Zhengan stuck to him and started rubbing again.


    In the end, Zhong Ziqi couldn''t bear it¡ªhe helped him...


    When he touched something that was obviously not the same size as himself, Zhong Ziqi was really taken aback, and didn''t know what to do.


    Zhao Zhengan stroked his head, kissed the corner of his mouth, and touched his hand down his body. When Zhong Ziqi didn''t react, he grabbed his vitals. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help but snorted but didn''t dare to resist. The lifeblood is still in the hands of others!


    "Follow me." Zhao Zhengan smiled in a low voice, and his hands began to move slowly. Zhong Ziqi hummed comfortably, and followed his rhythm with intentions.


    The two of you helped me and I helped you complete a happy orgasm.


    After the joy, Zhong Ziqi got up with a blushing face, found a cloth to wipe clean for the two of them, and changed their trousers, before actually lying down to sleep.


    In the vertical day, the passenger flow of "quite delicious" has decreased a bit compared with yesterday. I heard from other people that the Prosperity Restaurant also launched a lottery activity, which attracted many people in the past, and everyone wanted to see what rewards each other had.


    "This prosperity is really shameless..." Zhao Ning pouted and said unhappily.


    "Forget it, we have already expected it, and besides, we have no right to stop it. It''s fine if people like them don''t come to bully our common people. It doesn''t matter what he does." Zhao Sheng patted his brother on the shoulder to let him calm down.


    Approaching noon, the treasurer Jin came again, with Zhao Zhengan to accompany him.


    "I knew you two didn''t have that time, so I had to come again." Jin Sheng said with a smile, without any discomfort on his face.


    "I''m sorry, treasurer Jin, we really can''t leave here. I wanted to come and find you later, but I didn''t expect you to go there again." Zhao Zhengan''s tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no flattery in respect.


    "What did Brother Qi say about this matter?" Jin Sheng waved his hand indifferently and asked about the matter of entrusting him.


    "Ziqi came up with an idea, let''s go and talk later." What Zhao Zhengan said is where Zhong Ziqi sells fried dough sticks. There is a distance of more than two meters behind him, which is just right for them to talk.


    Zhao Zhengan walked over to replace Zhong Ziqi: "You talk to the treasurer Jin about the lottery."


    "Okay." Zhong Ziqi handed over the things on his hands to him, took the rag and wiped his hands.


    Zhong Ziqi and the treasurer Jin walked to a clean corner: "Zhengan went home and told me, in fact, I don''t have any good suggestions. I will give you a general idea and listen to it."


    The shopkeeper Jin nodded: "You said."


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t even bother to talk straight about some Hyundai members, VIPs, and holiday promotional offers and the treasurer.


    "I can only think about so much. The specific implementation depends on how you make it, the treasurer."


    "Yeah... I think you have a good idea as a member." The treasurer Jin said after a long time of thinking. A member of this kind of thing does not show special effects in this small place, so it is only for the official sir, which big family, outsiders can use.


    He thought it was good because this method could be used by his family, and the wealthy young masters in their base camp were much more so than this horns.


    Zhong Ziqi had a heated discussion with the shopkeeper about gold members, silver members, and ordinary members. Finally, the shopkeeper left with satisfaction and admired Zhong Ziqi more and more in her heart.


    Soon, it didn¡¯t take long for the VIP membership plan of the Golden Shopkeeper to be implemented. If you spend **** taels of silver twice in this shop, you will become an ordinary member of Jinhua Restaurant, give him a membership card, and spend three times in the restaurant in the future. You can save **** money in this card, and you will make a note every time you consume it until you consume the card three times.


    Platinum members are similar to the ones above, except that their consumption is higher, while gold members are rare. They can only be purchased through silver and require a lot of silver, which can be used for three years. Within three years, the consumption in this store is only half or even more. Low price.


    You can get these cards through high consumption, or you can buy them through silver. Not only that, the restaurant also introduced preferential policies, such as which day, which dish is suddenly more favorable, and which steamed buns can be bought for five and one free and so on.


    In short, it made the customers happy, and the restaurant made money again.


    Besides, it¡¯s not a long time. Many shops have started to popularize lottery draws. If they are not popular, for example, if you don¡¯t follow the trend and your opponents also offer discounts, then all the customers will be snatched by the other party. What to do then?


    Can only follow along with the discount.


    So for a while, the preferential lottery draws attracted a wave of craze in Qingshui Town. Everywhere on the street, people could see people coming out of this store from ear to ear and into the next store. This discount is a lot cheaper than usual, I don¡¯t know if it will be paid back in the future. Will it happen? I must buy more now, and bring my relatives and friends to buy it.


    Even the many vendors in Fengyang City that are next to each other are looking at each other. What is this Qingshui Town doing? They have sucked away a lot of their customers here. There is no way. They have to make corresponding countermeasures to attract them back. With this cycle, Zhong Ziqi''s activity of drawing discounts is spreading farther and farther.


    Of course that''s all for a later story.


    After three or four days of opening, the passenger flow of "quite delicious" has stabilized, and they are ordinary regular customers.


    "Zhao A, don''t you have a lot of eggs in your house?" Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao A.


    "That''s right." Zhong Ziqi told Zhao Ama about the way of the bunny egg. The method of the bunny egg is very simple. The egg is half-cooked. Add water, soy sauce, sugar, star anise and other seasonings to the pot and boil it. Just cook until there is not much soup left in the pot. This is also to try to make the eggs more flavorful.


    Zhao Ama went back and did it again according to Zhong Ziqi''s statement, and sold it in a "quite delicious" store the next day. The effect is not bad.


    That day, on the way home in the evening, Zhao Ama gave Zhong Ziqi a purse with a lot of copper plates in it.


    "Zhao A, what are you doing!" Zhong Ziqi quickly pushed back.


    "You take Brother Qi, now our family makes a lot of money every day, but you tell me everything about this. Although I know you definitely don''t care, but our conscience can''t get through. My child and his father are both After discussing it, this will be treated as if we bought your formula, and we will give you a sum of money every month. You have to accept the money you say.¡± Zhao Ama said without refusal.


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng also helped persuade him. Needless to say, Zhao Ama must have passed them.


    Zhong Ziqi glanced at Zhao Zhengan, where the old **** was, and thought for a while: "Okay, then I will accept the money."


    Zhao Ama breathed a sigh of relief, and then went back to his own home.


    After returning home, Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan: "Just now, why didn''t you say a word?"


    "Is there anything to say? Zhao Aye will give it to you, and you will accept it. They are also embarrassed to take advantage of you. You don''t have to think too much." Zhao Zhengan said comfortingly. In fact, he is still more optimistic about this. Well, since his wife is generous, he can''t say anything.


    "I didn''t want to accept it either, but didn''t I fail to respond for a while? It doesn''t matter if I accept it, Zhao Ama from the province always thinks that it owes us, and it is also an income, isn''t it?" Zhong Ziqi nodded and said.

 Chapter 47: Two men

    In Qingshui Town, on the pier where people come and go, a passenger ship is docked at this time. There are four or five people disembarking from the passenger ship, either for businessmen or visiting relatives. Among them are two tall men who are very conspicuous. , One of the men has a cold face, a slender figure, an elegant manner, and an extraordinary temperament. Incompatible with this dock, and although the person next to him was expressionless, his aura and appearance were far worse than the man next to him, and he was obviously a young man.


    The man didn¡¯t care that he always peeked at him, and said to the people around him: "You lead the way."


    The man was expressionless: "Yes."


    The man walked to a corner of the pier in a familiar way, while the elegant man walked unhurriedly behind him, and everyone around him consciously gave way. After the past, there was a tumult in the crowd.


    The man who looked like a small servant walked for a while and then stopped.


    "What''s the matter? Arrived?" The elegant man walked from the back to the front and looked around. There were a lot of bustling crowds of vendors, but he didn''t say that the stall owner was a young man.


    Xiao Si was also troubled and stood there and looked around for a while, thinking that he had remembered it wrong.


    "Hong Ying, what''s the matter? What about people?" the man asked in a deep voice.


    The man named Hongying frowned and thought for a minute: "Master, the subordinates are sure that they were here before, and the business was very hot, right next to that selling buns." Hongying pointed in one direction.


    "Oh? Are you sure?"


    "Subordinates are sure." Hongying lowered his head slightly and replied.


    "Then ask the bun seller, he must know." The elegant man lifted his chin, his voice cold and magnetic.


    "Yes." Hongying walked towards the man with a nervous expression.


    That man is not someone else, it is Uncle Song. Uncle Song has paid attention to these two people a long time ago. It should be said that no one in the dock is not paying attention. When Uncle Song was still secretly guessing who it was, he found that the two people looked at him frequently. Not long after, one of them The man walked towards him, how could this not make him nervous, there was obviously something in it.


    Soon the man arrived in front of his eyes: "I''ll ask you about someone!"


    Uncle Song heaved a sigh of relief. It wasn''t just for trouble. He stumbled slightly and replied, "You...you said."


    "Where is the guy who used to be very hot next to you?"


    Uncle Song was a little dazed for a while, and when the other party urged him impatiently, he later realized that the brother next to him was Zhong Ziqi and the others!


    "You mean Brother Qi? He''s not here anymore. There is a shop called "Quite Tasty" not far from you. They rented it, just a few days after it opened."


    After the man got the news he wanted, he left a blunt thank you and walked back to the other man and whispered a few words, and then the two of them walked in the direction of "quite delicious".


    Uncle Song looked very envious. Brother Qi''s business was doing well. Whether it was the former Jinhua restaurant or the stranger now, he came to his delicacies, right? Uncle Song shook his head. People are more popular than others, but he admits defeat. His craftsmanship is indeed inferior to Brother Qi. He still knows himself.


    After Hongying and the elegant man walked according to Uncle Song''s instructions, they saw a vermilion plaque with the words "quite delicious" written on it.


    Look at this small shop, which is obviously small. There are four or five tables at the door, almost full of seats. Many people just stand or squat on the side to eat, and some take them away directly after they buy it.


    The shop was shaking, and the lighting was not good. The two of them could not see clearly what it looked like inside, but there was a figure of a man they could often see. He sometimes greeted the customers and put his hands on the customers. He walked into the shop with a smile on his shoulder and didn''t see him for a long time.


    "Is this his husband? Isn''t he a fool?" the elegant man asked.


    "Back to the master, it turned out to be a fool. Later..." Hongying told the man what he had investigated.


    "Well... the character is fine." The man nodded, his countless eyes telling him that this person is a good man over the years.


    The two of them had been observing outside for a long time, but they did not know that someone in the room had observed them in secret for a long time. This person was not someone else, it was Zhao Zhengan.


    The two handsome and good-looking men in gorgeous clothes are so eye-catching on the street where the eyes are dusty, no one will not notice. And these two people obviously rushed to their small shop, their eyes never left them here, but they looked calm and clear eyes should not be evil-hearted people, and according to their clothes, either rich or powerful. . Still be careful not to offend.


    Thinking of this, Zhao Zhengan sorted out his dress, adhering to the principle of me if the mountain does not come, I come to the mountain, and walked towards the two people standing on the street: "Two guest officials, you just came here for the first time, right? Why don''t we go inside and take a look? We are "quite delicious" and we have a certain reputation in Qingshui Town."


    The elegant man looked at Zhao Zhengan and said, "Then bother."


    "Don''t bother, please come inside." Zhao Zhengan led the two into the store. Most of their tables were outside the store. There were also two in the middle of the room. In addition to being used by insiders, they would usually come here as a grandfather. People can''t let people sit outside and crowded with other people.


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng saw that the two people brought back by Zhao Zhengan were either rich or expensive. It stands to reason that they would go to a big restaurant like Jinhua. They condescended to be in their small shop and they were flattered.


    Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng wiped the tables and stools carefully. Those two also looked very satisfied.


    "What does the guest officer want?" Zhao Zhengan asked with a smile.


    "What do you have here? Just bring me some." The man looked around and said casually, his eyes suddenly attracted by the busy man inside.


    Zhao Zhengan immediately noticed, frowning unhappy, and his voice became a little cold: "Wait a minute. Xiao Ning, bring two bowls of tofu."


    Zhao Ning got the order and quickly walked away.


    Then Zhao Zhengan walked to Zhong Ziqi, blocking the man''s naked gaze by the way.


    "Ten fried fritters."


    "What''s the situation? Who is this? What are you doing?" Zhong Ziqi bit her ears with Zhao Zhengan in a low voice. He is not dull, he can feel the person''s undisguised gaze, but this gaze is different from the gaze of those customers before, without trivial distracting thoughts, he can''t understand it, but no one likes it. An unknown person was planning something to him behind his back.


    "I don''t know who he is, but the two of them are definitely not ordinary people, and...how do I think they seem to be running at you?" Zhao Zhengan touched his chin and looked at his wife, leaning over to ask : "Do you have any identity that I don''t know?"


    Zhong Ziqi pushed him away, and said angrily: "There is a fart! Don''t guess!"


    Zhao Zhengan concealed his seriousness, and said with a serious expression: "The two of them just stood outside and watched us for a long time. He didn''t watch other people, he just looked at our house, and he didn''t even know what we were selling.


    I guess, he definitely didn''t come rushing for food. You see that he doesn''t have any enthusiasm for our food. On the contrary, he is toward you, so he can''t wait to eat you. "Zhao Zhengan analyzed unhappily, and the central meaning was to keep Zhong Ziqi away from them.


    "Don''t guess at random, what he wants to do, sooner or later, he will say, give the fried dough sticks to others, and by the way the third table."


    "Oh." Zhao Zhengan took a plate in one hand, first put the more plate on the table of the two of them: "Use it slowly." Then he went out and put another plate on the third table.


    "Boy Zheng''an, your fried dough sticks are delicious, and there are people who come all the way to eat them!" The man waiting for the fried dough sticks at the third table took the fried dough sticks. They often come to eat the fried dough sticks, and everyone is familiar with it.


    "Oh? How do you say?" Zhao Zhengan moved with an expression, instinctively related to the two people inside.


    really.


    The man pointed his finger at the room and whispered: "These two people just got off the passenger ship and came to you without stopping. Then why don''t you say it was for eating? Do you know it hard? "


    "I don''t know!" Zhao Zhengan shook his head. More certain in my heart, the two people came here not simple. I don''t know what their purpose is.


    Zhao Zhengan straightened up and returned to the room, and saw a scene that made his nose crooked. He went out for a while, and after speaking for a while, the man walked up to his daughter-in-law and struck up a conversation with his wife. At this time, if anyone tells him that he is here to eat, he will slap and slap, and who eats his mother''s meal and throws the food aside to say happily to the chef?


    Zhao Zhengan walked over with a blank face just in time to hear the man asking his wife: "Where are the parents?"


    Zhao Zhengan quickly put a smile on his face: "This guest officer, do you need anything else?"


    The man''s gentle expression has not yet taken back: "No, I think this little husband is a bit familiar, like an acquaintance of mine, so I can''t help but ask."


    "I don''t think I have anything to do with your acquaintances. My ancestors have been born here for generations, so I''m sorry." Zhong Ziqi replied.


    "Haha, is it? It''s possible!" Seeing the two men watched him guard, the man didn''t say much, and went back to the table to continue eating.


    "Look, I just said he''s unpredictable again, right? Someone told me just now that they came from other places and came to our house as soon as they got off the boat. And how does he know that you are married?" Zhao Zhengan Said.


    "Well...There is indeed a suspicion." Zhong Ziqi nodded in agreement, saying if there is any.


    "What did he tell you?" What Zhao Zhengan cares most about is what the man said to his wife when he was away?


    "I didn''t say anything, just introduced his name to me, called...Shen Yubei, and asked me what my name was and where I came from."


    "Daughter-in-law, are you sure you don''t know him? Do you have any relatives in your family? For example, distant relatives?"


    Zhong Ziqi recalled it in her mind and shook her head: "I can''t remember."


    However, Zhong Ziqi didn''t say that he was afraid that Zhao Zhengan would be jealous. This person felt very strange, very comfortable, and very kind to him. It turned out that he was still wondering why this person looked at him with hot eyes, but without a trace of ambiguity. He suddenly remembered from the just time that this man treated him like his brother treated him in the previous life. the same.


    In his previous life, his elder brother was eight years old, and every time he looked at him was like looking at a child or a junior. He couldn¡¯t be more familiar with the gaze that had accompanied him for more than 20 years. At this time, he looked at him in the eyes of this man. Now, how can we not let him think deeply.

 Chapter 48: past

    These two men are not others, but Shen Yubei and his personal guards who were originally in the south of the Yangtze River.


    The last time Gao Hanjin came back from the north and told him about Zhong Ziqi, Shen Yubei left his mind. He asked his confidant Hongying to come to the north to investigate, and finally got a result that made him half happy and half worried. He intuitively felt that there must be something he was looking forward to here, so he gave the things on his hands to his retired father, and then ran a trip in person to verify the final result.


    So what is he trying to verify...?


    This has to start many years ago.


    Their Shen family''s family business is inherited from the ancestors, and they have been doing well. They are also well-known families in the south. Their family has a single pass, even when they have the most children, they are only a kid, and the rest are all brothers. It''s no surprise that he is here with his father. The whole family is just a kid. His father is a dedicated person, and he has only married Eminem in his life. Eminem gave birth to two children, one is him, the other... is his brother.


    His elder brother was a elder brother. He was more than ten years old. When he was just a toddler, his elder brother had already gone to school and started to get in touch with the outside world. At that time, some biographies were very hot, and his elder brother was not good at all Going out privately, so he always bought a few biographies by the way when he went to school and read it with gusto.


    Because he mostly followed his elder brother since he was young, his elder brother is short, and his elder brother will also hold him tenderly, make him happy, whisper with him, in his eyes his elder brother is like the second Like his father, Eminem, he gave him meticulous care.


    It''s just that he didn''t expect that the older brother, who always has a gentle face and a gentle personality, would one day be so fierce and angry.


    That was not long after his grandfather passed away. His father took over the business. Earlier, his father learned to do business with his grandfather, but not everyone was convinced of his father. At that time, it was a downturn in their family. My father was so busy with things that he went home late every day, and sometimes he didn''t go home for several days.


    The whole family is worried. I just didn''t expect that the father who had not returned for a few days suddenly brought back a shocking news. Their family wants to get married with a family of comparable families.


    This is not what surprised them the most. The family has also heard of it, and they are considered righteous, but the problem lies in this family. There are five children in this family. The eldest is a kid and has already become a family. The second is a brother. Also became home.


    The third child is a kid but he is a man who likes to spend time and drink. The city is such a big city. I often hear bad rumors coming out. But because he is the favorite child of the family elders, many things are not true, because there are also Many people said that these were the two older brothers who were afraid that the family property would be inherited by this younger brother, so they tried to pour dirty water on him to create rumors on him, so that his father would be disappointed in him. Anyway, there are so many sayings, they are also seen by outsiders, only knowing that this person has a bad reputation.


    The fourth and fifth are two kids who just know how to run around, so it goes without saying who will marry and who will marry.


    They don''t know what his father thinks, only that his father''s choice cannot be changed. At that time, they didn''t know that there was a problem with their family''s business, and their father was already devastated but never told them.


    The elder brother was furious for the first time and made a big fuss. He swore not to marry, and his father locked him up in a hurry. Shen Yubei still remembered that his brother was locked in the room, he didn''t think about food and tea, and his face was pale every day, as if he had no hope of life. He often lay down in the door to look at his brother. Talking to my brother, but my brother will either ignore him, or he will babble that he doesn''t want to marry a man who has never met with a bad reputation. He wants to find someone who treats him sincerely and knows that he loves him like in the biography. the man.


    At that time, he was still sensible. Seeing his brother sad, he also felt distressed. One night, while the housekeeper was sleeping, he stole the key he carried with him and opened the door that locked his brother. He felt very happy to see his brother''s haggard face shine again.


    My brother hugged him for a long time that night, saying that he was the only male in the family who inherited the line. From now on, he must be prudent, take good care of the family business, be filial to his parents, and exhaust his share of filial piety for him. Tell his father Eminem that he is sorry for them. , But he didn''t want to be destroyed in the hands of such a person forever.


    That night, my brother left with the knowledge of him alone. Leaving this home, even leaving this city, he didn''t know where he went, he never saw him again, he missed him very much.


    When my father knew it, he was furious and beat him severely. He didn''t fight because his brother was gone and no one would marry him. The marriage was ruined, and it wasn''t that his business difficulties could not be solved, but Because what happens to a brother who doesn''t get out of the door and who doesn''t step up outside? This is unimaginable.


    My father mobilized all the people around him to look for, but he hasn''t been there. Eminem blames his father every day. His father seems to be getting older all of a sudden. At that time, he didn''t understand or why his father forced his brother to do things he didn''t want to do. It wasn''t until he took over the family business that he knew how helpless it was.


    To this day, he has been asking himself a question, that is, do not regret letting go of his brother?


    In fact, he didn''t want to admit that he had already regretted it subconsciously, and he would never see each other again for seventeen years. It might even be yin and yang separated. But he believes that his brother will definitely not regret it, because his children are so old, according to his brother''s personality, he will not marry if he doesn''t like it.


    When he saw Zhong Ziqi for the first time, there was nothing left in his mind-like, it was so alike!


    Combined with Hongying¡¯s investigation, his Eminem had the same surname as Shen, but with a different name, but he was convinced that this was his brother¡¯s child undoubtedly, because there was a small mole at the root of his brother¡¯s ear, which was not obvious, and most people didn¡¯t know it. He who grew up in front of his elder brother knows best, and now he also found that little mole at the root of Zhong Ziqi''s ears, which is undoubtedly too coincidental. If there are more coincidences, it is no longer a coincidence.


    This is his brother''s child, his nominal nephew.


    ¡ù¡ù¡ù


    "Why did you say he came?" Zhao Zhengan was puzzled.


    "Why do you think so much, and you can''t think of it, so hurry up to feed Dahei and Xiaohei, and the chicks are all driven into the chicken coop." Zhong Ziqi couldn''t stand his nagging energy, so he quickly moved away. .


    "Look at you... I will analyze and analyze, you are still not willing to listen." Zhao Zhengan protested dissatisfied, why is his wife so unaware of worry.


    "Hurry up! Come back for dinner when you''re done, or I won''t take yours." Zhong Ziqi said angrily.


    "Don''t don''t don''t, I''ll go here, wait for me." Zhao Zhengan rushed out in a hurry, his head can be broken and bleeding - the wife''s cooking can''t help but eat.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at his lively figure with a smile at the corners of his mouth. This kind of Zhao Zhengan has the breath of life and can make people rely on and feel safe. He feels very good. Today''s life does not need to be changed anymore. He is very happy and fulfilling. .


    "Fuck." The sound of the basin touching the ground suddenly sounded.


    Zhong Ziqi stood up and ran outside. I saw that Zhao Zhengan was holding the wooden fence with one hand and his forehead with the other.


    This position is too familiar to Zhong Ziqi, and that is Zhao Zhengan''s headache again.


    "How are you?" Zhong Ziqi asked worriedly while supporting him.


    Zhao Zhengan closed his eyes. When he opened them, he could not see any signs: "It''s okay, don''t worry, it''s better."


    "You lied to me, didn''t you say that you don''t have frequent attacks?" Zhong Ziqi was worried about this headache, and asked him whenever he got the chance: "Does it hurt? Should I take a break?"


    Zhao Zhengan didn''t know if he was annoyed by the question or was afraid that he was worried, so he told him that he was getting better and the frequency of attacks had dropped. Now it seems that this must be Zhao Zhengan''s lie. He was too tolerant and able to pretend that he almost lied to him.


    "It''s okay. What did I lie to you for? It happened suddenly today. You see, I can''t control it, and I can''t control it to prevent it from hurting, right? But it only hurts for a while, and it doesn''t hurt anymore, don''t believe me. I''ll bounce twice for you." After finishing talking, Zhao Zhengan really planned to bounce a few times.


    Zhong Ziqi grabbed it, "Isn''t it true that I believe it? Let''s go to the house and rest for a while, here I will get it."


    "Okay." Zhao Zhengan didn''t refuse. In fact, his headache is not over. Now he has no energy and really needs to rest and wait for recovery.


    Just like Zhong Ziqi said, he actually lied to him. His headache was not relieved. It was just that instead of being worried by Zhong Ziqi, it was better not to talk about it and tolerate it for a while. It was definitely an accident just now. He was about to put the food bowl on top of the chicken coop, and he was hit by sudden pain and dizziness, and the food bowl fell to the ground without paying attention. It attracted Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t know what Zhao Zhengan was thinking. He helped Zhao Zhengan to sit in a chair: "You take a rest first, and I''ll be back soon."


    Zhong Ziqi entered the chicken coop and drove the chickens into the chicken coop, blocked it, and put the food bowl on the chicken coop. Then he went into the kitchen and washed his hands carefully, and put the food on the table. A bowl of rice was placed in front of Zhao Zhengan. After thinking about it, I took a large chopsticks dish and put it in the bowl.


    "Would you like to feed me?"


    Zhong Ziqi thought about it seriously.


    "Do you really want to? I still have the strength to eat, stop making trouble, you eat it, today''s meat is delicious, I love it, you will have more next time."


    Zhong Ziqi replied subconsciously: "Yes." Then he was speechless at his clumsy change of topic.


    After dinner, Zhong Ziqi boiled the bath water, and the two took a bath in order. Go to bed early and rest.


    On the vertical day, "quite delicious" is open as usual.


    Shen Yubei and his young man showed up in the shop again. I also matched the tofu brain and fried dough sticks I ordered yesterday. Today''s Shen Yubei obviously came here to eat. Except for the occasional glance at Zhong Ziqi, his eyes are normal.


    Shen Yubei did not carefully taste the food in the store because of his excitement yesterday. It was really good to eat today, and the taste is very unique, no wonder it is so hot.


    Hongying ate the fried dough sticks expressionlessly, one per minute on average. Shen Yubei didn¡¯t eat it carefully yesterday, but he was delicious. Most of the food on the table fell on his stomach yesterday, but he knows this thing best. How delicious.


    Shen Yubei glanced at him: "Did the Shen family treat you badly?"


    Hongying "...back to the master...nothing."


    "Then why are you like you haven''t eaten in a few lifetimes?"


    Hongying immediately put down the dishes and wanted to stand up and salute, but was stopped by Shen Yubei: "Okay, eat yours."


    This time Hongying slowed down to eat.


    Besides, Zhao Zhengan''s originally good mood was destroyed by the two again, but fortunately, this person did not act excessively today, and he barely hated him so much, but...he still would not relax his vigilance.

 Chapter 49: make trouble

    "Ouch, oops, my stomach hurts!"


    Outside the "quite delicious" shop, a shameless, nasty-looking man and the two men sitting next to him whispered and didn''t know what they said, then suddenly fell to the ground, clutching their stomachs, and started rolling.


    "Big brother, what''s the matter with you, big brother?"


    "Big brother, where are you uncomfortable?"


    "My stomach hurts, I just ate their food." The man rolled all over.


    The noise of the surrounding people dispersed.


    "What? Is there something wrong with his house?"


    "I have eaten a lot, will it be the same?" Everyone talked.


    "Hey? Isn''t this the **** of North Street?" Someone recognized the rolling man at a glance. His voice increased by an octave due to surprise, and everyone else basically heard them and asked him: "Who are they?"


    "The **** of North Street is very famous. Of course, don''t get me wrong. He is notorious. He is notorious. He does everything. Everyone in North Street screams and beats."


    "Oh..." Everyone looked like this, they said, after eating "very delicious" for a long time, why suddenly there was a problem, it turned out to be a trouble.


    "Where is the boss? Come out for me and treat my eldest brother!" one of them was called the second child (the ranking of the three in private.) yelled.


    "That''s right, come out quickly, or we will smash your shop and see how you open it!" The third child also agreed.


    "What''s going on?" Zhao Zhengan and the others pulled away from the crowd and looked at the people rolling on the ground.


    "What''s going on? Your family has eaten to death!" The second child said aggressively, his eyes widened and he looked fierce.


    "Eat the dead? Who died? Where is the corpse?" Zhao Zhengan asked him suspiciously.


    "What corpse, are you cursing us to die? You didn''t see my elder brother hurting like this."


    "Look, you said that you were eating people to death, and now you say you are not dead, and you can''t even understand what people say!" Zhao Zhengan shook his head.


    "Who do you think is not a human? Are you looking for a beating!" The youngest recalled Zhao Zhengan''s words and immediately thought about it. This is a curse that they are not human!


    "Hush!" Zhao Zhengan put his hand on his lips, squatted down and asked a non-stop "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!


    "My stomach hurts!" The man held his stomach in pain, but his voice was loud.


    "Oh, my stomach hurts, Zhao Sheng, go and see the doctor."


    "I''m going now." Zhao Sheng responded stupidly and ran out. Don''t talk about him, even Uncle Huang, Zhao Ama, have never encountered such a situation, so they just slapped their feet.


    Zhong Ziqi''s brows also wrinkled into a pimple, he forgot when he was busy during this time, one of the Qiao breaks that often appeared in TV dramas, that is, the rogue''s fault-seeking blackmail.


    "What kind of doctor? When the doctor finds it, my eldest brother is about to die, so hurry up and tell me what to do?" The second child is the kind of obvious brain damage. He is very diligent in dismantling and dismantling. Tell everyone that you are here to swindle money, even though everyone has tacitly understood it.


    The third child kicked this unreliable kick.


    Soon the doctor came. Zhao Zhengan respectfully invited the doctor over: "Doctor, take a look, don''t accidentally die, I''ll go to jail."


    "Don''t worry, I''ll take a good look." The old doctor is also a frequent visitor to Zhong Ziqi''s place, so he naturally knows whether his place is clean or not.


    "This little brother, stretch out your hand, and the old man will give you a pulse." The old doctor knelt down and said.


    But for Adam "whoops whoops" listen with the same vain, how could he really joke to him, he had no disease. He winked at the two people standing beside him silly. Those two will come forward to make trouble. It was stopped by Zhao Zhengan and Zhao Sheng from left to right.


    The old doctor was also very embarrassed when he didn''t cooperate.


    "Uncle Huang, help me hold him down. Healing is important." Zhong Ziqi said coldly.


    Uncle Huang immediately held it down to the toppling people on the ground. Although he lives in the town, he is also a farmer from a farming background. Of course, the rogue who loiters every day can''t match his strength.


    "What are you doing? Let go of me!"


    The doctor on one side grabbed his wrist quickly while he was struggling, and then let go again.


    "How about the doctor?" Zhao Zhengan asked.


    "It''s okay, just eat too much." The old doctor put his hand on his clothes and wiped it.


    "What? No illness?"


    "Sure enough, I''m here to swindle money."


    "Let me just say, the food here is so delicious, how could there be a problem." Onlookers were talking and pointing.


    The three brothers are a little anxious. The man who was lying on the ground sat up and pointed to the doctor''s nose and shouted, "You quack, my stomach hurts to death."


    "Oh? You hurt, you still have the strength to yell, I think you are here to cheat money, right? Everyone said that right?" Zhong Ziqi shouted.


    As if to cater to Zhong Ziqi''s words, a bunch of rotten vegetable leaves flew from the crowd from nowhere, and hit the three of them precisely.


    "Who is it? Who threw it, let Lao Tzu catch you, and absolutely crippled you." The man on the ground was ashamed of being beaten by the rotten vegetables. He lost his face and didn''t pretend, and he stood up.


    "Who is it? There is a kind of throw, but no kind to stand up?"


    Zhao Zhengan looked at the three of them and sneered: "How about? Don''t pretend? No more stomachache?"


    "It doesn''t hurt. I''ll explain to you today, and give me the money to prepare, otherwise this shop..." The man looked at it and said, "It doesn''t matter whether it can be complete or not."


    "Yes, let''s see if we don''t smash it." The second and third were standing proudly behind the boss.


    "Oh? How much do you want?"


    "How much... how much, brother... how much do we want?" the second child asked the eldest brother in a low voice.


    "Twelve taels of silver, one penny less will not work."


    "Yes, one penny will not work."


    "What to do? We really can''t get the money." Zhao Zhengan was embarrassed. They can''t make ten taels of silver after ten days of work.


    "Can''t take it out? Brothers smash it for me."


    The second and third got the order and immediately lifted the chair beside him to smash it on the table.


    "what!!"


    Suddenly, two hillbilly eggs that flew from nowhere smashed on the faces of the two of them with great strength. The two of them turned around, and the eggs stayed on their faces for ten seconds and fell off, leaving a dark color.µÄÓ¡×Ó¡£


    Zhong Ziqi''s heart that they mentioned was relieved. But Zhao Zhengan''s face was not surprised at all, even with a trace of verification and success.


    Why is he so calm? In fact, he was nervous from the beginning. But then suddenly a bunch of rotten vegetable leaves popped up. It is impossible for businessmen or ordinary people to store rotten vegetable leaves. Then there is a problem. Where did the rotten vegetable leaves come from? It was just a moment. I thought that there was a trash can in front of their shop, and any **** and rotten vegetables were thrown into it. So when everyone was puzzled, Zhao Zhengan looked at their door for the first time, and he happened to see a figure that was very familiar, and it was the young man next to the man named Shen Yubei.


    Relying on his accuracy, this person is definitely a master. Although he has never seen what a master is like, it does not prevent him from guessing.


    When the conflict became more and more intense, the man stood at the door again, paying attention to the situation and ready to take action. He let go of his mind. Inexplicably, he knew that the man would not let the three people succeed. Of course, he was not watching. For his face, he is looking at his wife''s face. Although he is very grateful to him, he is still very upset and hates him.


    "Who is it? Dare to stand up and let Lao Tzu see?" The boss looked around to investigate the suspect and shouted fiercely.


    There was silence around everyone wanted to see who this was, dare to come out.


    At this time, a low voice sounded, especially in this quiet street: "Hong Ying, you go and show him."


    "Yes."


    Hongying walked into the crowd blankly.


    After all, the boss has been playing around in Qingshui Town for so many years, and he has more vision than the two newly-acquired younger brothers. He can see that this person is extraordinary, with a blank face and looks very imposing, he He was a bully and fearful of hardship. At this moment, he was a little drummer and wanted to retreat, but he had already spoken, and he just ran away in such a sullen manner. How could his face remain? How will you accept the younger brother in the future? How can you scare others?


    At this time, I had to bite the bullet and said, "Just...you did it?"


    "I did it."


    "Okay... so courageous, today you apologize to us for nothing, otherwise... just..." Boss Leizi couldn''t say anything anymore. This man looked at him like an idiot, as if What he said is just like nonsense.


    "That''s it? Boss?" the third child asked.


    "Just beat him!" The scorpion boss turned into anger from a little embarrassment.


    The man is silent...


    The scorpion boss couldn''t command the two younger brothers: "Come on, hit me hard." After saying that, he took a step back, and the two younger brothers rushed forward stupidly.


    It''s a pity that they met a real master this time, they didn''t even touch the figure, they were kicked flying by himself, and they didn''t move on the ground for a long time.


    Seeing that something was not going well, the scorpion boss immediately wanted to slip away, but unfortunately the man didn¡¯t give him a chance. Amidst a burst of exclamation, the scorpion found that the man who was a certain distance behind him flew over his head. A big foot appeared in front of his eyes, and then he only felt a pain in his face and a light body, and then he flew up, just next to his two little servants.


    "Go away, go away..."


    Before everyone recovered, five or six officers and soldiers in yamen clothes pushed aside the crowd, looked at the scene in front of them, and asked loudly: "What''s the matter? Who is gathering the crowd to make trouble? Follow me back to the yamen!"


    Zhao Zhengan took out a purse from his arms, walked to the head of the officer and soldier, angrily clarified the situation to him, but put the purse into the man''s hand without paying attention.


    The man''s stern face relaxed, and he greeted the men behind him: "Bring them back to the Yamen." Then he looked at Zhao Zhengan, "You have to come with us and tell the matter again."


    "Okay, okay."


    "Zhengan!" Zhong Ziqi stepped forward worriedly.


    "It''s okay!" Zhao Zhengan gave him a look: "The official is looking for me to find out about the situation, and he will come back soon." Then he left with the officers and soldiers.


    There was no excitement to watch, and the crowd dispersed in twos and threes.


    "Zheng''an will be fine, right?" Zhao Ama asked worriedly, looking at Zhao Zhengan who was going away.


    "Probably not." Zhong Ziqi shook his head. He believed that he could handle it well, not a reckless person.


    Zhong Ziqi took a sigh of relief, and walked to the man who was still sitting in the shop and did not come out: "Thank you so much for today, otherwise, I really don''t know what to do!"


    "It''s just a matter of effort, it''s not enough." Shen Yubei smiled gently.


    "How can it be done? Otherwise, if you eat at my place in the future, I won''t charge you anymore. You can eat whatever you want." The reason Zhong Ziqi said this is not his generosity, but he knows that this man does not belong to him. This place won¡¯t last long.


    "That''s so embarrassing."


    "Nothing to be embarrassed, that''s it."

 Chapter 50: straightforward

    That day, Zhao Zhengan came back quickly, because he was not at fault, and with the good words of the elder brother who received the money, the county grandfather let him go back after asking a few questions. On the contrary, it was those three who were arrested and sent to prison. Here, when I entered, the whole person was very sluggish. It can be seen that Hongying''s kicks were not light.


    "You''re back? The government didn''t do anything to you, right?" Zhong Ziqi was the first to notice Zhao Zhengan''s return. Only then did his hanging heart fall, and he asked quickly.


    "It''s okay, they just asked me to go over and ask questions, and I''ll be back after I asked." Zhao Zhengan glanced at the corner of his eyes and the two masters and servants who were sitting there drinking tea comfortably, it was great to bring your own tea when you went out. ! The landlord is not so leisurely.


    "That''s good! How are those people?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    Others also pricked their ears curiously.


    "I''m locked up, I must have a big torture." Because Zhao Zhengan had a word with the officer and soldier when he was leaving.


    "This kind of person has to take a good lesson." Zhao Ama said with a deep heart. He still can''t take it any longer, and his hands and feet are still weak.


    "Yes, fortunately my son is not like this, otherwise I will break his leg." Huang Ama nodded and said.


    After the disturbance just now, the passenger flow in the store has not decreased, but has increased a lot. The few people couldn''t talk anymore, and they went to work on their own.


    Zhao Zhengan stood there not knowing what he was thinking, and soon he moved, walking towards the master and servant who were drinking tea safely.


    "Thank you for helping me today." Zhao Zhengan said sincerely and sincerely with his fists in both hands. He is still a clear distinction between public and private.


    "Raise your hand." Shen Yubei smiled slightly.


    "It''s noisy here. I don''t know if I can take a step to talk. I have something to talk to you." Zhao Zhengan should think about it or ask straightforwardly. It is very annoying to guess and guess like this.


    "Okay." Shen Yubei thought for a while and nodded in agreement.


    Zhao Zhengan smiled and took the two to the Jinhua restaurant. It happened that Shen Yubei also lived in this restaurant. Zhao Zhengan asked for a single room and a pot of tea. One person poured a glass before sitting down.


    Shen Yubei held up his teacup and blew without speaking. Hongying stood blankly behind him, her expression empty.


    Zhao Zhengan was silent for a while, and then asked, "Mr. Shen came to Qingshui Town for a purpose, right? We Qingshui Town is not unusual, there are only one or two influential people, like you, you are an extraordinary person. , It¡¯s really strange to be here. I don¡¯t know who is so capable to attract you?"


    Shen Yubei played with the tea cup and looked at him: "Who is it? Don''t you already have the answer in your heart!"


    Zhao Zhengan''s expression condensed: "It''s really...but I don''t understand. My husband''s family is innocent, and his grandparents have lived here for three generations. What attracts you?"


    Shen Yubei put down the tea cup, looked serious, and asked in a low voice: "Do you...know, what does his Eminem look like?"


    Zhao Zhengan was shocked when he heard the words, and then he remembered that there was another disclosure that his husband¡¯s Eminem was an unidentified person. Everyone said that he had escaped from a foreign land. No one knew what was going on, everyone. Never doubted it.


    Is he a relative of his wife Eminem''s side?


    Thinking about it this way, Zhao Zhengan couldn¡¯t help but carefully looked at the man in front of him. After thinking about the face of Shen Ah Mo, he immediately had a contrast. Only then did Zhao Zhengan realize that they are really alike, let alone Shen Ah, just It is said that Zhong Ziqi and the man in front of him look alike in their eyebrows, eyes and ears. It''s just that one is heroic and the other is too soft, so that people can''t find the similarities between them.


    "Are you... Shen Ah''s relative?" Although Zhao Zhengan had already guessed, he couldn''t help but ask.


    "If it''s not wrong, you said Shen Ahma should be my elder brother, I''ve been missing for a long time." Shen Yubei said slowly, with a trace of sorrow that was not easily detectable, thinking that he himself had come too late. step.


    Zhao Zhengan''s eyes widened or he was surprised, and for a while he didn''t know how to answer the conversation.


    "Tell me about him, how has he been all these years?"


    "Shen Ah..." Zhao Zhengan groaned: "In fact, we don''t have much contact, but Shen Ah Mo in our Zhaojia Village, and even the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, are famous beauties. I heard the villagers say, Shen Ama came from a foreign country. This is what Shen Ama said personally, saying that he came from a disaster-stricken town in the south. Later, he didn¡¯t know how he ended up in Qingshui Town. Zhong Zhenhang, the second uncle of Zhong Zhenhang, who entered the town to work, is Ziqi''s father."


    "The two of them are the kind of people who are particularly conspicuous and can be seen in the ordinary people. They are naturally attracted to each other. The two have met each other like this. I don''t understand the details. Later, Shen Ah So he married the second uncle Zhong, he loved Shen Ah so much, he couldn¡¯t bear to do anything, Shen Ah-ma just sews and fixes, and it¡¯s enough to make a meal. Farm work never lets Shen Ah. What do you do, and the money you earn is given to Shen Ah? Many people in the village are greedy for second uncle Zhong to make money, and they want to marry their brother to second uncle Zhong as a kid, but they are rejected by the second uncle Zhong. A stern statement that I will not accept a child in this life. Even if I gave birth to a brother Ziqi, he will be treated as a treasure, and he has never thought of marrying again. The whole village does not envy the love of the two."


    After Shen Yubei heard this, five people in his heart talked about it. He was distressed that his elder brother, who had been spoiled since childhood, would have lived so far, and he was married to a farmer. Although this metaphor is not appropriate, it is still unimaginable that his brother is doing farm work Look like.


    But at the same time, I was also happy that my brother finally found the one he loved and realized what he said to him, to find someone who only loves him wholeheartedly, at least he has no regrets in his life. With a lover, with a lovely child, a complete family is formed.


    Shen Yubei took a deep breath, knowing that he was having a good time, the lumps in his heart were a little loose, but: "He...he..." Shen Yubei still couldn''t accept the fact that his brother had passed away, he couldn''t get it out of his mouth. speak out.


    Zhao Zhengan understood his mind, and his voice was also suppressed: "About spring, when the summer was about to enter, Shen A-mae and Uncle Zhong went out to do business. It is said that they encountered robbers... Originally, the robbers only robbed money, but later on. Coveted Shen Ah Ma¡¯s beauty, and wanted to kill him... Zhong Ershu and Shen Ah Mo rebelled and were finally killed.¡± When the bodies of Shen Ah Mo and Zhong Ershu were found, they were full of untidy clothes. The appearance of blood, but there is nothing too inconspicuous, and it has not been defiled.


    Shen Yubei was silent, his eyes closed, and his clenched fists proved his feelings at this time, how angry and how restless, if the group of robbers appeared in front of him, Zhao Zhengan had no doubt that he would take them all. Unloading eight pieces, five horses divide the body.


    After a while, Shen Yubei calmed down and asked him: "According to Dazeguo''s law, someone in the family has to keep filial piety for one year after death, why did Brother Qi marry you?"


    Zhao Zhengan was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, he rubbed his hands, and he was embarrassed to answer this question. It was really too bad for him to handle this matter.


    "Why can''t I say something?" Shen Yubei was puzzled. Hongying didn''t investigate these details when he was investigating. He mainly went to inquire about his brother, so he didn''t know some things, but he also knew about him. The nephew married a fool, who made Gao Hanjin sigh at him several times, he couldn''t remember it.


    Zhao Zhengan felt that there was no way to hide it. No one knew about this. He simply broke the jar and said the matter: "Ziqi, there is a snobbery, a small belly, and an uncle who loves to take advantage of money. Unfortunately, I also have such a pair of parents. After I was injured, I saw no hope of recovery, so I planned to give me a family. It happened that Ziqi¡¯s uncle¡¯s family didn¡¯t want Guan Ziqi to drag the oil bottle. He¡¯s hooked up and got us together."


    "..." Shen Yubei didn''t know what to say. Her brother escaped from being forced to become a marriage, but the child did not escape in the end of the Karma Reincarnation. He was forced to marry someone who didn''t want to marry. happy.


    In the past two days, he stayed "quite delicious" and carefully observed the two of them, and found that each other is you and I am intentional, sweet and sweet, perhaps once reluctant, after a long time of getting along with each other, gradually changed the taste Right.


    Shen Yubei couldn''t help but remember, if he hadn''t let go of his elder brother in the first place, if he had also got married with the third youngest of the family. Will you change your mind in the end? Will it also be well?


    It''s just that there is no regret medicine in this world, and there is no if, everything is fate!


    Zhong Ziqi fried the dough sticks and put them aside, leaning against the wall and staring at the door dreamily.


    "Ziqi? Ziqi?" Zhao Ning waved his hand before his eyes.


    "Ah? What''s the matter?" Zhong Ziqi looked at Zhao Ning.


    "You, what do you think? Absent-minded."


    "Oh, nothing? By the way, did you see where Zhao Zhengan went?" Zhong Ziqi put the fried dough sticks on the plate and handed it to him.


    "I didn''t pay attention, it seems to be walking with those two people. Hey, when did they get so acquainted? Or did Zheng''an invite them to dinner in order to thank them?" Zhao Ning guessed with his little head tilted.


    "Don''t guess, please serve it to someone."


    "Oh."


    Zhong Ziqi''s eyes floated to the door again. Of course he saw that Zhao Zhengan was walking with the two people, but what worries him is that Zhao Zhengan has never looked at them. If there is a quarrel, rely on the other side''s force. It will definitely suffer.


    Just as Zhong Ziqi was worried, Zhao Zhengan came back, but what surprised him was that he was the only one who came back. In the past, the master and servant would sit for a long time when they sat in their small shop. Although he watched I was tired and panicked, but I was not used to it suddenly disappeared.


    "What are you looking at?" Zhao Zhengan looked behind him suspiciously. There was nothing suspicious except for guests or guests.


    "What did you do just now?" Zhong Ziqi asked him.


    "Nothing."


    "To be honest, where are the two of you? You went together, where did you go?" Zhong Ziqi flew over with an eye knife, confessing leniently and resisting strictly.


    "It''s not that people helped us so much. I went to Jinhua and invited them to have a meal. After eating, the two of them went back to rest. It happened that they also lived in Jinhua." Zhao Zhengan wiped his sweat secretly. His wife''s eyes were too bad. Great, he is under a lot of pressure.


    He talked with Shen Yubei for a long time, and finally unanimously decided that he should find a chance to give Zhong Ziqi a word and see what he thinks, whether he will... resent them, these are what Zhao Zhengan needs to find out, and We also need to do ideological work for him. Zhao Zhengan said that the pressure is even greater.


    "Is that so? Didn''t say anything else?" Zhong Ziqi looked at him suspiciously, but Zhao Ning was really right.


    "No, you think too much. People have helped so much, so why do you have to invite them to have a good meal, don''t you think?"


    "Well... I believe you once." Zhong Ziqi couldn''t find the flaw and reluctantly believed his words.


    Zhao Zhengan was relieved.

 Chapter 51: Tentative

    In the evening, at the dinner table, Zhao Zhengan was eating spicy pork slices made by Zhong Ziqi, inhaling spicy, but pretending to inadvertently say: "Daughter-in-law is a good craftsmanship. Isn''t we even better?"


    "Ah... Fortunately, Eminem said that I have made something better than what he cooked, so he didn''t teach me." Zhong Ziqi said unnaturally, because his Eminem did not have superb craftsmanship in his memory. It''s just a bare mouth, and it''s ordinary, so if you say too much, don''t you just expose it when you meet an acquaintance!


    Zhao Zhengan suddenly realized, this is called blue out of blue and better than blue, right? !


    The two were absent-minded from each other, and did not notice what was wrong with each other.


    "We Eminem is amazing. I taught you so successfully. I heard that Eminem said that when you gave birth to a brother, how many people gloated at misfortunes. Looking at the jokes, now the whole village is envious!" Zhao Zhengan was excited. Looks like: "You said Eminem looks so good-looking, and he is not like ordinary people. Is it possible..."


    Zhong Ziqi frowned and swallowed the food in her mouth: "You mean, Eminem concealed his identity?"


    Zhao Zhengan Shanshan bit his chopsticks: "Just guessing, it''s mainly because Eminem doesn''t look like our ordinary people."


    Zhong Ziqi searched the original Eminem in his mind. Indeed, no matter the tone of speech, the way of educating him, the behavior, and the literacy and hyphenation, etc., they are different from ordinary families. Zhao Zhengan didn''t say that he hadn''t paid attention yet, and when he said that, he felt suspicious everywhere.


    Is it?


    Did he really hide his identity?


    Zhao Zhengan saw that he heard it, and he said harder: "Hey...maybe, you said that if Eminem was born into a rich family, you wouldn''t be a...little master? Haha"


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the hilarious man in a black line, how could he never realize that his brain was so big?


    "Young Master?" Zhao Zhengan yelled with a laugh.


    "Are you still eating? I''ll take it away if you don''t." Zhong Ziqi glared at him warningly.


    "Don''t don''t, I''ll eat." Zhao Zhengan quickly picked up a large chopsticks dish and ate it into his mouth.


    "You, don¡¯t guess. No one has come to look for it for so many years. That means you guessed wrong. Moreover, if there is such a thing, even if you find it, they are them, I am me, and I am I won¡¯t accept that imaginary name and money, it doesn¡¯t belong to me, and of course it doesn¡¯t belong to you!"


    The last sentence of Zhong Ziqi''s voice was octaves louder, fearing that Zhao Zhengan would make any wicked ideas. They had lived for so long, and he believed in him, but he was not sure whether he would be shaken by the lure of money.


    "Don''t get me wrong, I don''t think about anything. How could you, your husband, be the kind of person who sees money open, do you know it best?"


    Zhao Zhengan hurriedly explained that, don¡¯t steal the chicken, but instead hack yourself into it, leaving a bad impression on the wife: ¡°I¡¯m just curious. If one day, there really are...wealthy relatives coming to you. , What do you do? Do you recognize it?"


    Zhong Ziqi looked at him helplessly: "What happened to you today? Why do you keep asking these questions?"


    "That''s... I thought of it there. Tell me, I''m curious." Zhao Zhengan picked up a vegetable for Zhong Ziqi with some guilty conscience.


    "If someone really comes here..." Zhong Ziqi thought about the scene: "I also have to look at the other person''s attitude, whether he wants me to recognize it or not. If he is still like my uncle''s family, there is no need to give it. I¡¯ve added a blockage myself, right? If you¡¯re a good person and you¡¯re good at recognizing it, you¡¯ll become more friends, and you¡¯re still a strong friend. I like this kind of small life, it¡¯s plain, if you want to take me there. In this big family, we can''t adapt, just like the turtle, we can''t find it at ease."


    What Zhong Ziqi didn''t say is that if he encounters that kind of complicated house, who is vying for power and succession, then everything that may be a threat will become cannon fodder. In the end, he doesn''t even know how to die. What is he going to do? He hasn''t lived enough yet!


    "That''s great." Zhao Zhengan slapped his thigh: "If you go, what should I do? What if your relatives look down on me and kick me?" Zhao Zhengan exaggerated Said, I was relieved to see that Jia Fulang was not disgusted, and that would be easier.


    "You..." Zhong Ziqi looked at him badly, and then shook her head with disgust: "It''s so ugly. There is no money at home, no money, no land, and bad health. , What did you say I did with you? I was exhausted, if there were relatives like that, I would really knock you off."


    "..." Zhao Zhengan took what he said, and it seemed that he did have it all. Speaking of it, Zhong Ziqi could actually have a better family. If good luck marries him, he should be wronged.


    "If you really want to kick me, go find a better person, rest assured I will definitely let you go."


    Zhao Zhengan said seriously that when he also had low self-esteem, his husband was very capable. He was naturally stressed and felt that he could not be compared, but his body was a demon every day. In addition, now that his wife has such an uncle, his mood is almost like a mess, and there is a vague sense of powerlessness.


    Zhong Ziqi''s words are like a fuse, leading to the anxiety and depression hidden in his heart.


    "What do you mean? I...I''m joking with you? You won''t take it seriously, will you?" Zhong Ziqi seriously reflected on what she said just now, as if it was a bit too radical. He just said it as a joke and accidentally stabbed it. His sore spot?


    "I take it seriously." Zhao Zhengan put down his bowl and chopsticks and sat down.


    "Are you so? I''m joking with you, if I want to reunite with you, will I still wait until now? I will throw you far away when you are stupid." Zhong Ziqi was also a little anxious, for fear of herself His unintentional words hit his self-esteem.


    "Oh, it makes sense, so why didn''t you stay with me at the time?" Zhao Zhengan asked curiously, wanting to hear what he thought.


    "I never thought that you would be fine at that time, so I thought about raising it as a son..."


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him with a black face, and thanks to him, he asked, otherwise he didn''t know that he was once a son by his wife, which would damage his tall image too much.


    "Oh, what about now?"


    "That''s even more impossible, you also know how difficult it is for the brother to reunite now, so I can make do with it." Zhong Ziqi said haha.


    "Don''t force it." Zhao Zhengan said very understanding.


    "No...Are you irritated today? What''s wrong? You want to be separated with me? Then just say it." Zhong Ziqi looked suspiciously in his eyes.


    "How can I be willing to be with you, I have told you, I am full of you, I am not afraid of you...hehe" Zhao Zhengan gave a dry smile.


    "Hehe..." Zhong Ziqi didn''t smile, because he was waiting for him here! Do you want him to confess?


    "Do you want to know?"


    Zhao Zhengan''s chicken nodded as if pecking at rice.


    Zhong Ziqi leaned over and brought her head close with a slight smile. Zhao Zhengan thought that his wife was embarrassed, so he stretched out his ears very happily.


    Then suddenly there was a loud roar in the ear: "Hurry up and clean up the table and chopsticks, and take you idle day by day, thinking about things, are you the long-tongued women in the village?"


    Zhao Zhengan lined his chest with lingering fears, his ears buzzing, which really scared him to death. If anyone who was gentle the moment thought of becoming a tigress in the blink of an eye, his little heart really couldn''t accept it.


    Zhao Zhengan got up dingyly under Zhong Ziqi''s gaze, and put away all the sadness and anxiety.


    "Stupid...zi" Zhong Ziqi sat on the chair and smirked and covered her mouth.


    Lying in bed at night, Zhao Zhengan asked Zhong Ziqi to comfort him in the name of being hurt.


    Zhong Ziqi pushed away his face speechlessly: "I''m so tired, I''m going to sleep."


    "It''s okay, you sleep with you and I move mine." Zhao Zhengan said with a smirk.


    Zhong Ziqi gave him an angry look, turned around, clenched his fists in front of him, what do I think you should do?


    If you don''t say that when a man has it, he will naturally understand some things without a teacher. Zhao Zhengan sat behind him and looked at him for a long time, and then his voice came from under the quilt.


    Zhong Ziqi pricked up her ears with her back to him, not knowing what he was doing. Suddenly, there was a cold in the lower body, and Zhao Zhengan stripped off the obscene trousers originally worn on him.


    "what are you doing?"


    Zhong Ziqi hurriedly tried to pull the trousers up again, but it was a pity that Zhao Zhengan did not succeed.


    "Daughter-in-law, aren''t you tired? In that case, let you rest today without moving."


    Zhong Ziqi has an expression on your **** silly look at me.


    Zhao Zhengan thought he hadn''t seen him, and turned his back to him.


    Zhong Ziqi moved anxiously, his hands were bound, and just about to move his feet, one leg was placed on him. Before Zhong Ziqi could react, a hot object squeezed into the base of his thigh.


    Zhong Ziqi realized what it was and his face immediately blushed.


    She wanted to struggle with shame, but was severely suppressed by Zhao Zhengan, and then imitated the sprint of a certain sport.


    Moonlight shot through the window into this charming little room, casting an ambiguous brilliance. After a low growl, the cabin returned to calm, leaving only two gasps one after another.


    Zhong Ziqi silently touched the hot and sore thighs under her body, but he squeezed Zhao Zhengan''s arm in a circle with anger.


    "Oh! Tap, tap!" Zhao Zhengan inhaled painfully.


    "In the future, if you dare... dare to be like just now..." Zhong Ziqi couldn''t say anything, this rascal!


    "Oh... my daughter-in-law, my head hurts... let me be quiet..." Zhao Zhengan suddenly hugged his head and interrupted Zhong Ziqi''s words.


    "It hurts again? Would you like me to rub it for you?" Zhong Ziqi really forgot what to say, and sat up anxiously. Only then did he remember that his lower body was still naked and wet, so he picked up the rag and wiped it casually. After wiping, he immediately pulled out his profanity trousers from the bed and put them on.


    He wanted to light the oil lamp, but Zhao Zhengan held his hand.


    "You can lie down with me for a while, it will be fine in a while."


    Zhong Ziqi went to bed and lay down obediently. Zhao Zhengan opened his arms and hugged him in his arms and buried his head on his neck.


    Zhong Ziqi shrank in his arms and dared not move. He, who cares and is confused, didn''t realize that Zhao Zhengan, who never cried with him usually, would suddenly cry out of pain today?


    In the dark, Zhao Zhengan grinned triumphantly, and he couldn''t help him in the future!

 Chapter 52: Recognize

    "He really said that yesterday?" Shen Yubei looked directly at Zhao Zhengan with an unsteady voice.


    "Yes, Ziqi doesn''t dislike him." Zhao Zhengan replied.


    Shen Yubei was excited. If it was as Zhao Zhengan said, then the day when they met each other was not far away. He was looking forward to it, but... how to recognize this is another problem.


    I can¡¯t tell him directly, am I your uncle?


    It''s too abrupt!


    After thinking about it, Shen Yubei turned his attention to Zhao Zhengan again.


    "Haha" Zhao Zhengan laughed dryly, his eager eyes couldn''t avoid it, the seniors who were high in this year crushed those who were low in seniority.


    Zhong Ziqi has found something wrong with Zhao Zhengan these days. If he insists on saying something is wrong... well... it seems that something is hidden from him. Every time he is not paying attention, he will stare at him in a daze, or hesitate to say something. Looks like Zhong Ziqi has never seen him like this before, instinctively something must be happening!


    When he got home that day, Zhong Ziqi was not in a hurry to cook, so he poured two bowls of water and signaled Zhao Zhengan to sit down.


    "What''s the matter?" Zhao Zhengan sat down without knowing it, and drank the water.


    Da Hei and Xiao Hei squatted at his feet with his tail wagging, and whimpered twice.


    "Don''t you have something to tell me?" Zhong Ziqi glanced at him.


    "Uh... how do you know?"


    "You have a heavy heart every day, and of course I can see it without delay." After all, he is the person next to the pillow. He knows him best. Maybe others can''t see it, but he can see it. He must be hiding something from him.


    "Um... this... there is indeed something, I don''t know how to tell you." Zhao Zhengan smiled bitterly, and Shen Yubei didn''t know how to say it. He didn''t know how to say it.


    "What''s the matter? Just tell me, is it a big thing?"


    Zhao Zhengan nodded, not small.


    "Quickly, don''t mother-in-law, it''s late, I have to cook." He wondered what had made Zhao Zhengan so difficult? Could it be that Wang Cuihua''s family has some moths?


    "Then I will say..." Zhao Zhengan hesitated for a while: "What I said is related to Shen Yubei."


    "He? What''s the matter?" Zhong Ziqi was puzzled. He didn''t see the master and servant in the store these days. He thought they were gone.


    "Um... remember the hypothesis I mentioned to you last time?"


    "Assumption?" Zhong Ziqi was startled: "Are you talking about that hypothesis of my Eminem?"


    "Yes, it''s not hypothetical, it''s true. Shen Yubei is your Eminem''s maiden brother. You have to call him uncle in terms of seniority."


    After speaking, Zhao Zhengan added: "My uncle."


    Zhong Ziqi was really stupid this time. He did not expect that the casual guess was true. If the original body is still there, he believes that the original body should be very happy. After the betrayal of the people, another relative appeared, but he is not the original body, he It''s a fake, so what he roared in his heart at this time was just "so cheating!! The eight o''clock stall is not so bloody!! What about a good ordinary life?!"


    No wonder he always felt that Shen Yubei had a sense of intimacy and familiarity. It turned out that he was his Eminem''s younger brother. No wonder he didn''t recognize him. He was not a genuine one. How could I think of it.


    "He came this time to get acquainted with you. I heard that their family has been looking for Eminem for more than ten years, but Eminem was not found." Zhao Zhengan carefully observed his emotions and said.


    "Why did Eminem go to this remote village incognito?"


    "I heard that it seems to be to escape the marriage. Your...grandfather, made a marriage appointment for Eminem. Eminem disagreed and escaped."


    "Oh...you know a lot." Zhong Ziqi put his chin on and looked at him with a smile.


    Zhao Zhengan scratched his head awkwardly: "Remember that I said to invite them to dinner? I actually talked to him and wanted to ask him what his purpose was. I didn''t expect that he would tell me directly and pay him back before leaving. Please ask me to probe your tone, and in the end you were suspected of seeing money open!"


    Speaking of Zhao Zhengan being particularly wronged afterwards, is it easy for him? To deal with two people, accept the suspicion of his own wife.


    "Okay, OK, can''t I blame you?" Zhong Ziqi was speechless, who told him not to say clearly.


    Zhao Zhengan moved forward inch by inch, holding his wife''s white tender little hand and rubbing it around: "Have you thought about it?"


    Zhong Ziqi absently let him take advantage: "Does he really want me to recognize him?"


    "Well, I think he is real, he is very emotional."


    "Then... just admit it." Zhong Ziqi felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so just admit it, just because he wants to help through this uncle if he has something to do, he won''t suffer anyway.


    "Then I will tell him tomorrow and make an appointment."


    "Okay, that''s it, I''m going to cook." Zhong Ziqi is not nervous about tomorrow''s meeting. Shen Yubei came out halfway, and he didn''t know his personality. So he is not worried that Shen Yubei will expose him, because the person who knows him best in the world is no longer there.


    However, Zhao Zhengan didn''t know what he was thinking. He felt that Zhong Ziqi would definitely need to think about it, so after eating that day, he didn''t bother him, took a shower and fell asleep.


    The next day, Zhao Zhengan went to the restaurant to discuss the matter with Shen Yubei, and the two finally decided to meet at the Jinhua restaurant in the afternoon.


    The waiting time was originally nervous, but Zhong Ziqi had no time to think about things because of his busy schedule. When he came back to his senses, the time was up.


    Zhong Ziqi greeted Zhao Ning to come over and help him take over: "I will go out with Zhengan, and you can help me see it for a while."


    "Okay, go, come back early." Zhao Ning nodded readily.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan came to the single room booked in Jinhua and knocked on the door.


    "Come in."


    Zhao Zhengan opened the door and let Zhong Ziqi go in first, then he walked behind and closed the door.


    "Sit." Shen Yu nodded the chair from the north.


    Zhong Ziqi sat down opposite him. Zhao Zhengan followed him and sat beside him.


    "Hongying, you told Xiaoer that you can serve food." Shen Yubei instructed Hongying.


    "Yes." Hongying walked out.


    After the door was closed, there was silence, neither spoke to each other, and looked at each other.


    "You are very similar to your Eminem." Shen Yubei took the lead and said, the more you look at it, the more you look like it.


    "All said that."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled. Many people in memory would say that he was like his Eminem, but he did not fully inherit his Eminem appearance. Combined with Zhong Zhenhang''s appearance, he did not grow into a peerless beauty. And it belongs to the kind of looks that look better and better, and look better.


    "You Eminem mustn''t mention me to you before?" Shen Yubei asked, even concealing his name, so it is estimated that he will not be mentioned.


    Seeing the sad thoughts flashing in Shen Yubei¡¯s eyes, Zhong Ziqi felt uncomfortable inexplicably. This may be the reason of blood relationship. He searched in his memory for a while, but he couldn¡¯t help it. After all, it¡¯s not the original one. Only when you think about it, you can''t remember it unless you remember it deeply.


    "Eminem mentioned it."


    "Really?" Shen Yubei''s eyes lit up imperceptibly: "What did he say?"


    Zhong Ziqi looked suspiciously at this guy who was suspected of having a brother fetish: "My Eminem didn''t say too much, I only said that I once had a younger brother. He was very cute and cute. He liked to run around behind him since he was a child... Special Smart...I separated when I was fleeing, and I didn''t know where to go along with my parents."


    Shen Yubei lost her mind for a moment, then cheered up and said, "Brother must have never mentioned it to you. In fact, our family is a famous family in the south of the Yangtze River. You Eminem has been spoiled since childhood, and she wants to marry him. His family¡¯s children can escape a street. It¡¯s a pity that he doesn¡¯t look down on any of them."


    Speaking of this, Shen Yubei smiled and asked Zhong Ziqi: "What kind of person do you think your Eminem is?"


    "Well...very gentle, rarely loses temper...speaks gently...be kind to others." Zhong Ziqi thinks that his Eminem is a goddess in modern times, and is the kind of goddess who cannot be profaned.


    Shen Yubei nodded in agreement: "Yes, everyone thinks so, but in fact, he also has his own careful thinking. For example, those who pursue him, he is not picky about others who are not knowledgeable, he is picky about others who are suave and suave. Even if he looks ugly, even if he is ugly, he also dislikes someone who is handsome."


    "What''s wrong with good looks?" Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan couldn''t help being curious.


    "Yeah, he looks too good-looking. My brother said he was insecure. There will be many brothers chasing him in the future. He can''t handle the flowers and plants."


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help being amused, it was hard to imagine that the dignified Eminem would say that kind of rebellious words.


    "My father and my Eminem were angry when they heard what my brother said, but still felt that my brother was too young. When he became a relative, he would gradually understand. Who would have thought that whenever his brother recognizes something, no matter what He won''t change no matter how others persuade him. On the surface, he looks gentle and angry, but inside is a particularly stubborn person who doesn''t hit the south wall and doesn''t look back."


    Zhong Ziqi remembered that in the past, his nominal parents were basically responsible for big things, Zhong Zhenhang, and small things, he was in charge of them. It was a very standard male and female in charge. Even if something happened, the two of them should discuss and follow each other¡¯s advice. Before making a decision on opinions, in his impression, the two have never quarreled, except for occasionally his dad teased him, he was embarrassed a few words.


    Moreover, they are a loving couple, they know each other best, and his dad is smart. He can''t not pay attention to his eminence. Therefore, he thinks his dad may also know about his eunice. It''s just never spread.


    Only when the original body curiously asked him what kind of person his grandfather was, he Eminem told him about his former home, but his personal life has not changed, but his family background has changed.


    He deeply felt that Eminem''s improper screenwriter would be a bad man.


    "In the end, I didn''t expect him to fall in love with your dad. To be honest, I was surprised. Without glory and wealth, he would have to do everything himself. I think he must like your dad very much, otherwise he wouldn''t be willing to do so."


    Shen Yubei shook his head and made a final summary. Since he was the one chosen by his brother, even if he felt that he did not match, he would not express any opinions. Life is like drinking water and knowing it is warm and cold, as long as you live happily.

 Chapter 53: dream

    That day, Zhong Ziqi and Shen Yubei talked very late and then returned to the store. They talked about Shen Amu for a long time, and gradually turned to life. Shen Yubei has been in the shopping mall for so many years, he is the most Know how to open a person''s heart and let him relax slowly.


    Zhong Ziqi was not a middle-aged or veteran, and she was slowly led away by Shen Yubei. The two talked very happily. Zhao Zhengan interjected in the side from time to time, and got along very well. Before leaving, Zhong Ziqi kindly invited him to her home.


    Although he was quite resistant to strangers, he was his uncle in name after all. It was reasonable to see where his home was and recognize the door.


    "It''s getting late today, let''s get another day."


    Shen Yubei took a look outside the window and said thoughtfully, he really wanted to see it, because he didn¡¯t have much time. As the head of the family, he couldn¡¯t leave home for too long, and he had to take the news back. Speaking to Daddy Eminem, there is definitely a sorrow and heartache.


    This time I will remember where he lives, and next time he will come directly.


    After leaving Jinhua, Zhao Zhengan asked Zhong Ziqi: "I think this cheap uncle is pretty good. What do you think?"


    "It''s pretty good."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded. He was kind and didn''t look down on the country folks at all -_-||. Many wealthy people looked down on ordinary people like them, and looked at them with disdain and disdain, and he was in Shen Yubei. He didn''t feel it on his body, so he had a good impression of Shen Yubei.


    "He seems to be going back soon, so why not invite him home tomorrow."


    Zhao Zhengan wants the two uncles and nephews to contact each other. Otherwise, they will always be alone and have no real relatives, as if they have no reliance. That is different from the love he gave. He doesn¡¯t matter by himself, but he¡¯s not sure if Zhong Ziqi will not. I will look forward to having a family member whom I can rely on.


    "Okay, then blow up all the fried dough sticks tomorrow morning, then buy the vegetables back, and go back and clean the house today." What if you live at home!


    "I think the house is pretty good. You clean it every day."


    He didn''t say this, Zhong Ziqi would clean it up in no more than two days unless there was something or was too tired, and there would be no dust in the house.


    "Then you have to tidy up, and there are quilts. There is still a lack of a bed at home, so why not buy a new quilt."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "Okay, listen to you."


    At this time, the sun on the horizon has set to the west, summer has passed, and the autumn days are getting shorter and getting darker day by day. Many people scattered on the street, and everyone had the urgency to go home.


    "Why didn''t I see our fruit wine in the restaurant today?" Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan walked unhurriedly, sometimes avoiding a few passers-by who were walking with their heads.


    "I heard from the shopkeeper, I took it to my house, because the fruit wine is rare, and I can fry it there for a good price."


    "Where is Jinhua''s home? Do you know?"


    Zhong Ziqi is very curious. He can always listen to them talking about his family. Where is his family?


    "I don''t know this. It seems to be in the capital. However, we don''t care about those. We ordinary people have nothing to do with those forces."


    "Ok."


    Zhong Ziqi replied in agreement. The writing of this world is somewhat different from the modern writing, but his original body is literate, and with his memory, it is not impossible to participate in the scientific examination.


    But in North Korea, it¡¯s not that easy to mess around. If you¡¯re in a low position, you have to pretend to be grandson. You can go to the right and left, whisper, and please the official. People look at you like watching an ant that can be pinched to death at any time. , He was an out-and-out cannon fodder, pushed out to block the gun, and was killed.


    He doesn''t have such big ambitions and ambitions, but just wants to live a small life in peace. His grandma told him since he was a child that plainness is a blessing and contentment is always happy. He has always remembered in his heart that it is just the life of a big city. Anyone who wants to be dull must be squeezed in a corner. It is too difficult to make money. He can only climb up step by step. He is accustomed to ignoring people who make irresponsible remarks behind his back. Now life in another world is satisfying. All his extravagant hopes, except that the world is too violent, too powerful, and there is no law and order.


    The two returned to "quite delicious" Zhao Ama. They had already started to clean up the shop.


    "Are you back?" Huang Ah Mo said.


    "If you are coming back, we thought something happened!"


    "I make you worry, we''re fine." Zhao Zhengan laughed and helped in the past, interjecting to cover up the matter.


    When returning, Zhong Ziqi went to buy a quilt.


    "It''s not every season, what do you buy a quilt for?"


    On the way back, Zhao Ama asked him, he remembered that they had two quilts in the house, why they wanted to buy them.


    "Our family has a distant relative who wants to come, so we buy a quilt. It may not be possible to live in, but we buy a bed and keep it as a spare."


    "This makes sense, otherwise people live with you, and it¡¯s not as ugly as the quilt." Zhao Ama didn¡¯t ask who went there, thinking that they were relatives of the Zhong family. After all, the Zhong family was also a foreigner and came occasionally. Several unfamiliar relatives are also normal.


    "Yeah, ah, I have to trouble Xiao Ning to sell it for me tomorrow. Tomorrow the two of us are going to receive my relative."


    Zhong Ziqi said apologetically that it was not that he was unwilling to stop the work at hand. The main reason was that the food in their store was connected. If he stopped for a day, the business would be much less, so he couldn''t stop working for everyone''s benefit.


    "You are not afraid that he will sell it to you, so you can let him sell it for you. This kid is stupid."


    "Eminem, what are you talking about! Why am I stupid!" Zhao Ning listened well at first, but he didn''t expect Eminem to damage him in a blink of an eye.


    "Well, I won''t say anything, our Xiaoning is the most capable" Zhao Amu said quickly.


    Zhao Sheng whispered in his brother''s ear: "I don''t know who it is, I don''t understand the math."


    Zhao Ning angrily squeezed his arm, so painful Zhao Sheng jumped up and begged for mercy. Zhao Ning let go of his anger.


    Everyone on the side laughed straight.


    Talking and laughing, after entering the village, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ama separated. Zhong Ziqi arrived at the door and found Wang Cuihua wandering outside their door again. Zhong Ziqi took the quilt from Zhao Zhengan''s body and motioned him to ask something. The Zhong family had just disappeared for a while, and the Zhao family came again.


    Zhao Zhengan patted his head comfortingly, and walked over: "Em, what''s the matter with you?"


    Wang Cuihua smiled unnaturally, so she said left and right: "You are back, why can''t Brother Qi come here? I''ve been tired all day."


    Zhao Zhengan frowned: "Eminem, what are you going to do? Just tell me if you have something, there is no need to cover it up like this."


    Wang Cui spent a long time hesitating, and waited until Zhao Zhengan was impatient, and said, "Zhengan...you...can you and Brother Qier lend me some money?"


    "Why borrow money? How much?"


    "Zheng''an, your brother hit a marriage a few days ago, and he was short of the gift money."


    "Beauty money? What about the family''s money? Didn''t the family sell food the other day? What about the money?"


    Zhao Zhengan is not happy, his brother is only fourteen this year, right? In such a hurry to get engaged, you can get married at the age of 16 in accordance with Daze Law. Because the emperor is far away, there are many people in the countryside who get married before the legal age. Of course, this is a minority, unless there is something urgent.


    And the booking was made so early, just like his original marriage, in case something went wrong, he would be divorced in the end.


    "I have saved some food at home, but it''s not enough."


    What Wang Cuihua was telling was the truth. Their family had some money, but they took it out, which was still a lot worse, and their family had to keep some of their usual expenses.


    "Brother who? How much do you want?" It''s not over yet, what do I want?


    "Outer village, their family is pretty good, there are dozens of acres of land, their family is the same brother, I want to find someone with a better family background, this gift cost five taels of silver."


    "Five two?" Zhao Zhengan raised his voice: "Why didn''t he grab it?"


    "No, brother, mainly to see if the family can take it out, and everything will be easy to talk about when we get married."


    "Listening to what you mean, it seems that brother hasn''t agreed to be with Zhenghong?" Zhao Zhengan became more confused as he listened.


    Wang Cuihua awkwardly twitched the corners of her mouth: "Because that brother has a very good family background, he needs to choose when he speaks. First of all, he must be able to get the gift money. Many people are jealous."


    What Wang Cuihua didn¡¯t say was that Zhao Zhenghong did not look well in his family, and he was originally not qualified. Because Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi were famous, they just knew they were Zhao Zhenghong¡¯s brother and sister-in-law, so they barely glanced at them. This glance is enough for their family to be happy.


    Zhao Zhengan is speechless. This is why the toad wants to eat swan meat: "No, we can''t pay this money, and there is no need to take this money. You should find Zhenghong someone who can live a down-to-earth life. You are married to you Here, it''s showing up immediately."


    "Zheng''an, you can''t say that. Do you know how much land that brother has? Forty acres of land, and there is only one brother in their family. By then, the money will not belong to our family''s Zhenghong."


    Zhao Zhengan discovered for the first time that his Eminem can dream so much, but he loves dreaming, so he doesn''t need to accompany him to do it.


    Zhong Ziqi stood under a big tree and looked at the door. He couldn''t hear what they were talking about. It was only from Zhao Zhengan''s changing face that Zhao Zhengan was unhappy, and Wang Cuihua was obviously still adding oil and jealousy.


    In the end, Zhao Zhengan didn''t know what he said, and Wang Cuihua looked upset and angry. Then Zhao Zhengan said a word impatiently and ignored him, beckoning at him.


    Zhong Ziqi walked over slowly, not looking at Wang Cuihua. Wang Cuihua was swearing, but he didn''t talk to Zhong Ziqi because he knew that Zhong Ziqi was more difficult to deal with than Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan closed the door, preventing Wang Cuihua from coming in.


    "What did you guys say? So long?" Zhong Ziqi put the quilt on the cabinet where the quilt was specially placed.


    "It''s nothing." Zhao Zhengan thought for a while and wanted to tell him what Wang Cuihua came from.


    Zhong Ziqi was also speechless: "Is he dreaming?"


    Just their brother, who has a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, is so wretched and wretched. Whoever is blind can look at him. Although he was not born to a mother, he is a father after all. Zhao Zhengan is a talented person, handsome and beautiful. That younger brother looked terrible.


    "Who knows, don''t talk about them, we don''t care about them. Anyway, the money can''t be paid out. If the first is the first, you will have to find our family when you have a child and build a house." Zhao Zhengan said.


    "That''s right, I must not say it." Zhong Ziqi was very satisfied with Zhao Zhengan''s attitude, and patted him on the shoulder with admiration.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him dubiously.

 Chapter 54: Be a guest

    The next morning, Zhong Ziqi blasted out the amount of fried dough sticks that he needed in the morning, put it away, and greeted Zhao Ama, Huang Ama and the others, and went out with Zhao Zhengan.


    Those who came to "quite delicious" for breakfast found that the little brother selling fried dough sticks disappeared after only showing up, but they didn''t care about those, as long as they had fried dough sticks to eat.


    Zhong Ziqi first went to the meat seller, weighed a few catties of fresh meat, and bought a lively fish and some seafood. When I went to the tavern to buy a jar of wine, there were too many things, Zhong Ziqi looked at Zhao Zhengan embarrassedly.


    How to do


    Zhao Zhengan thought for a while: "Or... you go back first, hire a carriage to take the things back, and I will take them home."


    "Well, it can only be this way." Zhong Ziqi nodded, and went to the rental car place with Zhao Zhengan, and negotiated the price. Zhong Ziqi went back after getting in the car.


    "This little brother, don''t you use a car? We specialize in bringing relatives and friends, the price is not expensive, and the outfit is good." A man said to Zhao Zhengan like a salesman. He also watched Zhong Ziqi carry a lot of things and thought there might be guests coming. Just came up to ask.


    Zhao Zhengan wanted to leave, but he shrank his feet just after they were sold. I took a closer look at this carriage. The carriages here are divided into three grades. The lowest class is a flatbed carriage, which is usually used by ordinary people.


    Secondly, there are carriages with carriages. The outside decorations are simple. People with a little money will take such carriages to walk around the square.


    The last one is the best carriage, also with carriages, but its structure and interior and exterior are particularly luxurious, and naturally the price is also super high. It is usually used by wealthy families, and their ordinary people keep away from it.


    The man who greeted Zhao Zhengan just now, the car behind him is an ordinary car with a carriage with some tassels on the outside. It looks pretty good. It''s not easy to walk home when you think of picking up people for a while, let alone sit in it. It''s a shame to drive a carriage.


    "Okay, you come with me." Zhao Zhengan directly clicked on the carriage.


    The car owner''s eyes lit up and he knew he had come to live.


    Zhao Zhengan sat on the right side of the carriage and went to Jinhua Restaurant.


    Zhaojiacun is as calm as ever.


    Only on this day, someone suddenly saw a carriage with carriages going to the back of the village. There was only one family in the back of the village, so it was self-evident to whom to go.


    Since Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi got married, in just a few months, they have become a family that everyone admires. Many people regret that if they helped them in the first place, they would be a charity. Are they now like Zhao? Like Baogen, they made a fortune together?


    Regrettably, let¡¯s say that someone saw a nice carriage going to the back of the village. The man stopped walking around and turned back to the village.


    "Dakui, why are you back again?" asked a few people sitting under the old locust tree in the village, watching the people returning.


    "Hey? I just saw a carriage going to the back of the village."


    "The village queen? Did you go to Zhao Xiaozi''s house?" An old Ah Mo said in his presence.


    "Oh, this Zhao family boy married a good brother, and his life is getting more and more prosperous."


    "It''s not so bad. Every time I enter the town, I can see that their store is called a good one. It''s all people coming in and out. I''m embarrassed to go in."


    The other Ah Ma is a refreshing profit: "What''s so embarrassing. Every time I go to town, I go to their house to buy some fried dough sticks for our A-da and children to improve their food. They both like to eat it the most."


    "Is it delicious? We haven''t eaten it before!" Someone asked enviously, some of them have a bad relationship, some of them are not rich, and they are not willing to buy it.


    "It''s delicious, you all know that dead boy in my family, but it''s a pick. I bought him a few fried dough sticks, and even the meat was thrown away."


    "It''s so delicious?"


    "That can be fake."


    Zhong Ziqi was cooking in the kitchen, and he knew they were back when he heard a voice at the door. He went to the front and opened the door just in time to see Shen Yubei jumping off the carriage.


    "You are here, please come in soon." Zhong Ziqi stood at the door with a smile and said: "The house is an old house, I hope you don''t dislike it."


    "No, it''s very nice and peaceful." Shen Yubei looked around for a while, frowning: "Why live in such a remote place? How unsafe!"


    Not far away is the deep mountains and jungles, if a jackal, tiger, or leopard descends from the mountain, their solitary family is very dangerous.


    "Fortunately, there was no house at the time of the separation, so we live here. Now that we have money, we don''t want to move. As you said, this place is clean enough and no one is annoying."


    "Let''s go in and talk, don''t stand here." Zhao Zhengan said when he finished paying for the carriage.


    "Barking"


    "Barking"


    Before Shen Yubei''s master and servant were far away, two barking dogs came from the house. Soon two **** dogs that had been raised ran out of the house and rushed fiercely to the stranger. Two of them.


    "Da Hei, Xiao Hei, don''t come here!" Zhao Zhengan blocked the pace of the two dogs and shouted.


    "Wang Wu." Da Hei and Xiao Hei stopped and looked at him innocently, calling out to strange visitors from time to time.


    "Don''t worry about them, these two guys listen to him the most."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and said, these two guys in their family are very human. He and Zhao Zhengan simply let them have fun everywhere. Without tying them, no one comes to this small courtyard. Only Zhao Amo''s family often comes, Dahei Xiaohei I''m familiar with them all.


    "Very good, spiritual, two good dogs."


    Shen Yubei looked at these two dogs interestingly and watched his interaction with Zhao Zhengan. Although he has never raised a dog, he also knows that a dog is actually like a person. You treat him well like a son. It will naturally be obedient to you as well. You treat it normally, and it naturally treats you normally, without enthusiasm.


    Hongying followed Shen Yubei and watched the two dogs cautiously in case they suddenly rushed up.


    After entering the hall, Shen Yubei looked around this small house with a small footprint. Although it was a little rudimentary, it was better than clean and tidy. It made people feel comfortable physically and mentally after seeing it. I have to say that he likes it.


    Shen Yubei wandered around the house thoughtfully, thinking in his heart, the stubborn old man and Eminem at home always wanted to find a quiet place to spend their old age. He felt that this was just right, when he returned home. You can talk to them.


    Zhong Ziqi poured two cups of hot tea from the teapot and put them on the table. There was no tea in their house, and he forgot to buy it. When he arrived at home, he remembered that he could not entertain others with boiled water. It was obviously too late to go to town. .


    Helpless Zhong Ziqi had to go to the Lizheng¡¯s house with the attitude of trying to borrow. I didn¡¯t expect that the Lizheng¡¯s really had them. It was not a defective product. It was a middle-to-high-grade tea. I only found out after asking. It turned out that I lived in the past. In a family in the village, the family had a good relationship with the Lizheng family. Although they moved away, they occasionally brought some things to the Lizheng family.


    In those few years, the righteous dad was still alive. Although the old man was born as a poor man, he had a hobby of rich and noble, that is, drinking tea. In these years, ordinary people only spend money to buy tea and drink tea when they are free. Lizheng is an only child, and Lizheng is also filial. They can''t afford expensive tea, so they buy the inferior tea that ordinary people can drink.


    This hobby of the old man is also famous. Many people who have made friends with the Lizheng family will have tea in their gifts during the holidays. The rich will buy some good ones, and the ordinary ones who have no money are also a kind of heart. Until later the old man passed away, there was still a lot of tea left in the family.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan didn''t drink tea either, so they asked for less. The Lizheng family didn''t want his money, so Zhong Ziqi forced it to him.


    "Neither of us drink tea at home, and forgot to prepare it. This tea is not fragrant." Zhong Ziqi said embarrassedly.


    "Very good, tea is just to quench my thirst." Shen Yubei said indifferently.


    "There are two of you, don''t you come and you, just call my uncle."


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan looked at each other.


    "Uncle" Zhao Zhengan first shouted.


    "Um...Uncle." Zhong Ziqi also yelled.


    "Yeah." Shen Yubei nodded in satisfaction.


    "Then... Uncle, talk to Zhengan first, and I''ll cook."


    "You don''t need to make too rich, home-cooked dishes are fine."


    Shen Yubei stopped him and said that he didn''t want to cause trouble to the two of them. He was not a savvy person, so he didn''t have much demand for food, as long as he could eat.


    "Got it."


    Zhong Ziqi should be on the surface, but she doesn''t think so. The tradition in the bones of Chinese people, no matter how close the family is, the relationship between you and me is not good enough. Since you are staying for dinner, you have to prepare enough. It is impossible to be as shabby as the congee and side dishes that my family usually eats.


    The fish in Zhong Ziqi''s kitchen has been cleaned out by him, but he is really too busy alone, and he has to burn the fire and chop vegetables.


    Zhong Ziqi filled a handful of firewood into the stove, stood up, turned his head and gave a sharp "Ah".


    It turned out that Hongying didn''t know when she stood behind him and looked at him expressionlessly.


    Zhong Ziqi patted her heart, and wondered depressedly why this person is walking without a sound.


    "What''s the matter with you?"


    Hongying said blankly: "The master asked me to help you."


    "No, I can come here, you can come in and rest." Zhong Ziqi said with a hurried wave of his hand.


    It¡¯s just that Hongying stood there and let him persuade him in every possible way to no avail. In the end, Zhong Ziqi gave up, pointing to the stove and said weakly, "Then you can help me burn the fire, don¡¯t burn too much, just a little bit, otherwise the pot It will be muddled."


    Hongying glanced at it for a while and nodded slowly.


    This caused Zhong Ziqi to worry too much, always feel very unreliable, don''t burn the pot of fish.


    Zhong Ziqi cleaned up the other seafood he bought one by one. While cleaning, he had to pay attention to Hongying''s movements to make sure he could master the heat before focusing on his own business.


    Pick out the grass prawns that you bought, and start to make this very simple brine shrimp, boil water in a pot, add the grass prawns, shallots, ginger, and refined salt, and slowly cook until the shrimp turns red. It can be fished out.


    In addition to the shrimp, there are some oysters left. Zhong Ziqi marinated these oysters for a while, beat the eggs into a bowl, added noodles and rice, and mixed them into a batter.


    Let Hongying, who is standing by, help to set the fire. He puts an appropriate amount of oil in the pot to heat up, puts in the oysters and fry them until golden brown.


    Put the prepared three dishes in the cupboard and put them away. At this moment, the prawns were not so hot, and they cooled down. He took two of them and handed them to Hongying.


    Hongying stared silently, but did not answer.


    "How about you taste it?" Zhong Ziqi handed it forward again.


    Hongying just took it.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t care about him either, he cleaned the pot and prepared to make the next dish.


    Zhong Ziqi, who had her back to Hongying, didn''t see it. Hongying skillfully picked the shrimp, took a look in front of her eyes, put it in her mouth, chewed twice, and then flashed the remaining shrimp quickly. Put it in your mouth.


    After eating, Hongying silently chirped twice, and looked in the direction of the cupboard still intently, but it was a pity that she couldn''t see anything.


    Smelling the scent floating from the kitchen, Shen Yubei put down the tea cup and shook his head: "Brother Qi should cook a lot of dishes, please trouble him."


    Zhao Zhengan sat next to the chair and filled him with a teacup, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you don''t know that Ziqi''s craft is incomparable to ordinary people. Everyone will praise who eats it. Just let him show you his hands today. "


    "Oh? Really? Then I can look forward to it."


    The people in their family are spoiled and spoiled, and have never cooked. I heard that Ziqi was taught by his brother. Then he had to see what his old brother who had no distinction of anything could teach him!

 Chapter 55: Uphill

    Time passed slowly, and soon it was time to eat at noon, and Zhong Ziqi''s kitchen was at the end.


    A plate of braised fish, a plate of brine shrimp, a plate of deep-fried oysters, a plate of pork with Mei Cai, a plate of boiled pork tenderloin, a plate of cold dishes, a plate of vegetable dishes, and a pot of thick soup.


    There are a total of eight dishes, which is an auspicious number and a standard for entertaining VIPs.


    Zhong Ziqi greeted Hong Ying who was pestle behind him: "Help me take it over."


    Hong Ying walked over with a blank expression on her face and brought a plate of dishes to the dining table set up in the hall.


    "It smells so good!" Shen Yubei leaned over in a chair and sniffed it, and took a deep breath. Even if he hadn''t even started to eat, he knew it would be delicious.


    "I said I won''t let you down. Ziqi''s craftsmanship is more blue than blue. Looking at the nearby ten miles and eight villages, no one can match him." Zhao Zhengan put the dishes and chopsticks out and took out today. The jar that I bought was filled with good wine.


    "Okay, drink less today, so as not to be ugly." Shen Yubei stretched out his hand to block Zhao Zhengan''s hand that continued to fall.


    Zhao Zhengan did not force himself to pour himself a bowl, Hongying did not pour it, and as a guard, it seemed that he couldn''t drink.


    When the eight dishes were on the table, Zhong Ziqi also sat down on the chair next to Zhao Zhengan. Only Hongying stood motionless. The master didn''t speak, his little guard was not qualified to sit at a table with the master, and the master allowed him to sit with him a few times in order to be less high-profile.


    "Uh...Uncle" Zhong Ziqi pointed to Hongying, is this asking them to eat and watch him?


    Too cruel¡­¡­


    Shen Yubei glanced at the wood-like Hongying: "Sit down and eat together."


    "Thank you, Master." Hongying couldn''t help but swallowed and sat beside Shen Yubei, with her hands on her knees and her head hanging down slightly.


    "Uncle, let''s eat. I didn''t make any good dishes. They are all homemade. I don''t know your habit of eating or not." Zhong Ziqi said politely.


    Shen Yubei looked at the eight dishes on the table and smiled helplessly: "You kid, didn''t you tell you not to do so much, even when you were in the old house, it was not so rich."


    "This is in a hurry, otherwise I can make a few more, it won''t be troublesome at all, you can try it, uncle."


    "Okay, I''ll try it."


    Shen Yubei grabbed the chopsticks, clamped the plate of meat that was closest to him, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, his eyes lit up, and then he gave a thumbs up: "It''s delicious, and the chef in the restaurant is just right. This level is not even as good as you!"


    Shen Yubei was quite surprised in his heart. Zhong Ziqi¡¯s craftsmanship is not an exaggeration of him, it is really great. This is what he did not expect. It is better than a restaurant chef. Zhong Ziqi¡¯s dishes have a very unique taste. He doesn''t know what it tastes like, but he knows that everyone has their own taste in cooking.


    "Uncle, isn''t it an exaggeration? How can it be so delicious." Zhong Ziqi smiled embarrassedly.


    "Uncle is right, the dishes you cook are much better than those chefs." Zhao Zhengan also tasted Zhong Ziqi''s first oyster, nodded and said.


    Zhong Ziqi kicked him under the table: "You can eat it!"


    "Uncle, let''s eat, the dishes will be cold in a while."


    "Well, eat it"


    "Wait, uncle, I will respect you a bowl first." Zhao Zhengan said solemnly, raising his wine bowl.


    "Okay." Shen Yubei also picked up the bowl and touched him. Both of them took a big sip, and then started to eat the deliciousness of the table with their chopsticks.


    Although Shen Yubei comes from a large family, he pays attention to the rules of not eating and not talking at the dinner table, but it is not strictly abided by it. Orientals are close to each other at the dinner table, so the three of them also consciously eat while eating. chat.


    Poor Hongying didn''t dare to pick the dishes far away because of his uncomfortableness. He could only eat rice and the only dish of greens on the table. Even the greens were cooked very fragrantly. The meat not far away would be even more delicious. It''s delicious, Hong Ying thought, but the movement of her hand did not change, still holding the plate of vegetables.


    Still careless Zhao Zhengan took the lead to notice him: "Brother, don''t just eat vegetables, eat some meat, so many dishes!"


    Zhao Zhengan pushed a plate of meat in front of him.


    Hongying bit the chopsticks and said nothing, Shen Yubei coughed, glanced at Hongying, and Hongying met immediately, extending the chopsticks for the first time, and adding that plate of meat under the eyes of the three of them... Root vegetable.


    "..."


    For the first time, Shen Yubei felt that his confidant was dull and dull enough. He raised his leg and kicked him on the knee under the table.


    Hongying took a meal and glanced at his master, and saw that he was staring and quickly picked up another chopsticks dish. This time he caught the small tenderloin that had been greedy for him for a long time. The mouth was as beautiful as imagined, and Hong Ying''s eyes were filled with joy.


    Several people were eating and chatting, and a meal was over after noon and it was almost afternoon.


    ¡ù¡ù¡ù


    In the afternoon, the breeze is blowing, the sun is shining, and the back hills of Zhaojia Village are still verdant and green, with birds singing.


    Zhong Ziqi and the four went up the mountain along the small road that was stepped on by their predecessors. Zhong Ziqi led the way and walked through a small dirt ditch. Not far away, there was a small grave bag covered with grass. A simple wooden board was erected in front of the grave, and the tomb of Zhong Zhenhang and his wife Shen Yu was written hastily.


    "This is the grave of my Eminem and my father."


    Zhong Ziqi said sadly, don¡¯t misunderstand that this emotion is really coming from his body, not from him, in fact, he usually doesn¡¯t dare to come here, if it¡¯s his father and mother, forget it, the key is They were two people who were strange to him and hadn''t met yet.


    And he also occupied his son''s body. How dare he show up in front of others, don''t come to him in the middle of the night and thank God, he is really not courageous!


    "Let me stay here alone for a while?" Shen Yubei said emotionally.


    "Okay, let''s go down the mountain first. Just go back the same way." Zhao Zhengan said understandably, there must be a lot to say after so many years of not seeing him.


    Shen Yubei nodded and waved his hand.


    Zhao Zhengan took Zhong Ziqi down the mountain. Zhao Zhengan used his arms to fend off the messy branches and said, "Seriously, we haven''t seen Eminem for a long time."


    "Well...it''s been too busy this time."


    Zhong Ziqi said with some guilty conscience, it seems that in the future, we should take Zhao Zhengan with him. It is impossible not to come all the time. All three of this family have left. He does not expect the Zhong family to burn paper for them, but he coming.


    Zhao Zhengan rubbed his head and said nothing. Zhong Ziqi''s strangeness thought he thought of the sadness of his parents.


    "It''s getting late, my uncle and the others will definitely stay here tonight." Zhong Ziqi quietly tidyed up her tousled hair and changed the subject.


    "Well, I think so too, is there enough food? Do you want to go to Zhao Ama''s to catch a little cock?"


    Zhong Ziqi thought about the few kilograms of vegetables she bought and shook her head: "I don''t know, let''s talk about it, anyway, it will be too late anyway, isn''t Uncle Baogen at home?"


    "Well, listen to you."


    Back home, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had nothing to do, so they simply took two small benches and sat in front of the door to talk, teasing the two **** dogs.


    "Listen to my uncle. My grandfather and grandmother are both alive. Will you come to us when you say that? Or do you want us to go?" Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan with his head tilted.


    "Maybe, after all, you are the orphan of someone else''s eldest brother, you must meet, but I don''t know if these two get along well."


    "Yeah. It is estimated to be very severe." Zhong Ziqi thought of some things Shen Yubei had described to him, and said affirmatively.


    On the mountain, Shen Yubei wiped the crystal on her face, stood up and patted her knees: "Brother, it''s late, I''m going down the mountain. You raised Ziqi very well. I like it very much. Believe Daddy and Eminem. I will like it too, we miss you all! Brother, I''m leaving, next time I come, I will see you again."


    Shen Yubei talked about it for a long time before going down the mountain with Hongying.


    As soon as I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I saw two sneaky figures hiding behind a big tree, secretly watching them.


    Shen Yubei frowned. At this time, his mood was absolutely terrible, and he didn''t want to pay attention to these people with unknown motives. Although the two of them were sneaky, they didn''t come to bother him.


    "You''re back, uncle." Zhong Ziqi opened the door and looked at the two masters and servants standing at the door.


    "Um..." Shen Yubei nodded and walked into the courtyard: "By the way, when I went down the mountain just now, I saw two sneaky people following us."


    "sneaking?"


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan looked at each other in a daze. It seems that few can do such a thing.


    "Do you know?" Shen Yubei felt that there was a problem with the expressions of the two of them, and couldn''t help wondering who these two were.


    "Who can anyone else, not his parents, or my uncle''s family. No one can do this except for them." Zhong Ziqi said helplessly.


    Zhao Zhengan touched his nose awkwardly and smiled at Shen Yubei.


    Shen Yubei learned that they also took a small bench and sat in the courtyard and asked, "What? Do they often come to trouble you?"


    "It''s not very often, but it''s almost the same. I will come to the door every few days to ask for this and that."


    When Zhong Ziqi talked about this, he was full of complaints and was irritated, but it was a pity that this was a relative who was related to him and Zhao Zhengan by blood, or else he would have rushed away with a broomstick.


    "Oh? There''s something else? Then do you agree?"


    "How could it be possible to agree, there will be two, if there is a precedent, it will not stop."


    Shen Yubei nodded appreciatively: "This is right, I can''t agree to it. You have to think of a way to do it once and for all, and completely let them be honest, otherwise you may miss something."


    "Ok¡­"


    Zhong Ziqi nodded thoughtfully, feeling that what he said made sense. It''s just that he couldn''t think of a way for a while.


    Shen Yubei glanced at the two of them, and leisurely pointed out: "If you want to hold a person, you must first find out their weaknesses. If you want to hold their weaknesses, are you afraid that they won''t listen to you?"


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan¡¯s eyes lit up. The Zhao family¡¯s weakness seems to be their youngest son. After all, this one is the only one for their children, and they will have to count on him in the future.


    In ancient times, the reception of descendants was even more important. So the Zhong family... also had two children, a brother and a kid, both of whom happened to be unmarried. If there is something bad about this, then these two children But it was ruined, don''t expect to marry or marry into a good family.


    The more Zhong Ziqi thought about it, the more it made sense, and she thought: This time they dare not provoke him!


    Humph!

 Chapter 56: discuss

    That night, Shen Yubei stayed in his house. The Zhao family¡¯s ancestral house only had two bedrooms. Zhong Ziqi and his wife occupied one, and the other was naturally given to Shen Yubei¡¯s master and servant.


    The room where Shen Yubei lived had a big fire-kang, which was used by rural people in winter. It was no problem to squeeze two or three people. Zhong Ziqi took the quilt and laid it out carefully. As for how their master and servant will allocate sleep later, that is not something they can manage.


    There was no entertainment in the evening, and after exchanging good nights, we went back to each room and rested early.


    Zhong Ziqi undressed and went to bed, shuddering and slipped into Zhao Zhengan¡¯s warm arms and said, ¡°Our house is a bit old. Do you want to rebuild one? After this, guests can stay in the house as well. ."


    Zhao Zhengan yawned and put his chin on his head, and said in a soft voice, "Well, it''s okay to build one. This house is too old, in case there is a natural disaster that can''t bear it."


    "Yes."


    If this is an earthquake or heavy rain, their house will definitely collapse.


    "It''s cold now, it will be frozen soon, and the ice and snow will melt in the spring next year."


    "Then build it next year, don''t worry for a while."


    "Ok."


    In the middle of the night, Zhong Ziqi suddenly felt a little bit cold while he was half-dreaming and half-awake. He subconsciously rubbed against Zhao Zhengan, but was not comforted.


    He opened his eyes in a daze, and through the faint moonlight, he saw Zhao Zhengan panting at him, his face full of sweat.


    Zhong Ziqi ran away all the sleepy bugs all at once.


    "Have a headache again?"


    Zhong Ziqi asked suicide, raising his hand to gently massage the acupuncture points on his head, which he deliberately learned from the old doctor. The old doctor was helpless with Zhao Zhengan, so he could only teach Zhong Ziqi to massage a few important acupuncture points.


    "feelling better?"


    "Ok¡­"


    Zhao Zhengan''s voice is a little weak. He has a headache for about five minutes each time. He feels that the time is short when he looks at it, but only those who suffer from pain know how long the time is, as if to split his head in half.


    "It seems we still have to find the genius doctor as soon as possible." Zhong Ziqi muttered to herself.


    The straight Hongying who was lying next door sat up silently, her ears erected and she didn''t know what she was listening to.


    "What''s the matter?" Shen Yubei squinted at Hong Ying, who was not far from him.


    "Back to the master, the subordinate heard a voice next door."


    "No one came in, right?"


    "No."


    "Then don''t worry about it."


    Maybe it''s what the young couple are doing...Shen Yubei yawned. It was the first time he slept with this hard kang, and he couldn''t get used to it.


    Hongying made sure that there was no problem and then lay down again.


    The next day, Zhong Ziqi got up before dawn. He didn''t wake Zhao Zhengan, so he washed briefly, opened the door and went to Zhao Ama¡¯s house, and talked to Zhao Ama about today¡¯s affairs. I guess today. The same can''t go.


    Zhao Ama nodded in understanding, knowing that a visitor was coming from their house.


    "Ziqi, who is your family here?" Zhao Ama asked. Seeing that it is late, they are also going to town.


    "My wife''s family came here, and the person here is my brother, my uncle." Zhong Ziqi didn''t subconsciously say that this person is the two people with extraordinary identities who often go to the store to see.


    "Your Amu''s family came here? Are you the ones who took the initiative to find?"


    "Yes, I took the initiative to find them. If they don''t find me, I don''t know there are relatives."


    After all, his Eminem had only understated and never talked about his maternal grandfather, so he lived to say that the original body had never cared about it in his heart.


    "Then what does your uncle''s family do? Are they also ordinary people?"


    "There are some small businesses in the family."


    Zhong Ziqi said modestly that he didn''t want to tell others too much about how powerful his uncle was. He didn''t have that much vanity and didn''t need to accept the envy and admiration of others.


    "Yeah, that''s amazing." Zhao Ama was surprised and closed his mouth from ear to ear, and then whispered to Zhong Ziqi, "Ziqi, it is impossible for the Zhong family to have a good relationship with them, but your uncle must have a good relationship. I can help you with anything in the future, people can''t have no relatives at all."


    "Well, I know what."


    "It''s getting late, I have to go, let''s talk about it when we have time." Zhao Amo looked at Fang Liang''s sky and said.


    "Well, then I''m leaving now." Zhong Ziqi waved his hand and went home.


    When he got home, Zhao Zhengan was already up and was carrying water from the well to the kitchen.


    "What did you do?" Zhao Zhengan came out of the kitchen carrying a bucket, just in time to see Zhong Ziqi coming back from outside.


    "I went to Zhao Amo''s house, and told him that I won''t go anymore today." Zhao Zhengan nodded and put the barrel in place.


    "You go take a rest, I''ll cook."


    In the past, I had to get up early because I had to enter the town. It is rare to get a good night''s sleep today.


    "No, I''m not sleepy, I''ll help you burn the fire."


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head and refused. He is not a lazy person. Unless he is tired, he would not go to sleep lazily.


    When Zhong Ziqi''s meal was almost ready, Shen Yubei and Hong Ying walked slowly, and if they looked closely, there were still thick dark circles under their eyes.


    "You got up, uncle, why don''t you sleep a little longer?"


    Shen Yubei smiled helplessly: "I don''t sleep anymore, I got up late today."


    Normally, he would get up earlier than this time. Last night, he suffered from insomnia because of not adapting to the new place. He only fell asleep in the middle of the night, which made him late.


    "You two got up early enough and the food is ready."


    "The two of us are used to it. We usually have to enter the town early and open for business, so even if we take a break, we can''t sleep when it''s time."


    Zhao Zhengan said, standing up and pouring a basin of hot water for Shen Yubei to wash his face.


    "Uncle, did you sleep well last night?" Zhong Ziqi asked after taking a look at Shen Yubei.


    "It''s okay."


    Shen Yubei bent down and lifted up the warm water to wash her face. He drove away the restlessness, smelled the aroma from the pot, and the crowing and dog barking from time to time in the courtyard. Looking at the magnificent scenery of the mountains in the distance, he suddenly felt that this kind of leisurely life was indeed good.


    For breakfast, Zhong Ziqi didn''t cook too greasy, so he made a pot of rice porridge with some rice, just in case someone didn''t like to drink porridge, there were eggs, and a few dishes of side dishes.


    Obviously, Shen Yubei''s heart was won. He ate very comfortably. He even drank several bowls of porridge. This also made Zhong Ziqi relieved, afraid that he would be too shabby.


    "Tomorrow I will go back to Pingyang, Jiangnan. Would you like to go and see with me?" Shen Yubei looked at Zhong Ziqi: "Your grandpa and grandma must also want to see you."


    Zhong Ziqi thought for a while and shook her head: "No, my uncle, you see I can''t get out of my body right now, don''t wait until I have time."


    "Well, when I come next time, I''ll take you back." Shen Yubei didn''t force it, and gave him time to think clearly.


    "Okay." Zhong Ziqi nodded and agreed.


    After eating, Zhong Ziqi got up to clear the table, and then went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.


    Zhao Zhengan hesitated after sitting in the chair: "Uncle..."


    "Huh? Something?"


    "Yeah..." Zhao Zhengan looked embarrassed and didn''t know how to say it.


    "If you have something to say, just say it."


    "Uncle, I...can I learn to run business with you?" Zhao Zhengan hesitated for a while and said.


    Shen Yubei was surprised: "Huh? Learn to do business with me? Okay, but I will go back to Pingyang tomorrow, so I can''t teach you."


    "Unless...you go back with me."


    "I think about it." Zhao Zhengan''s thoughts flashed, but it still doesn''t work, he must discuss with Zhong Ziqi.


    "Well, come and tell me when you think about it."


    Shen Yubei is very optimistic about Zhao Zhengan. After contacting him during this period of time, I feel that he is different from ordinary villagers. He is not stupid, smooth and intelligent in the accident. The most important thing is that he has a sense of responsibility and a self-motivated heart. , He can safely teach Zhong Ziqi to him, otherwise, if he is the kind of speculative and slippery person, he will take Zhong Ziqi back with everything he says.


    Zhao Zhengan got up and went to the kitchen, Zhong Ziqi was standing by the stove doing the dishes. Zhao Zhengan walked over and hugged his waist from behind and pasted it.


    Zhong Ziqi froze first, then relaxed her body: "In broad daylight, can you not do this..."


    Zhao Zhengan interrupted him: "Ziqi, can you discuss something with you?"


    "what''s up?"


    Zhong Ziqi asked with her head sideways. He rarely heard Zhao Zhengan calling his name so solemnly.


    There was silence behind him.


    "What''s wrong? What''s wrong?" Zhong Ziqi asked a little uneasy.


    "No."


    "Oh, then you mean it."


    "I...I...I want to go to the south with my uncle." Zhao Zhengan said with his eyes closed.


    The bowl in Zhong Ziqi''s hand fell back into the basin with a snap, splashing a large amount of water, but Zhong Ziqi didn''t care, he turned around and looked at Zhao Zhengan sharply: "You say it again!"


    Zhao Zhengan is ready to respond to Zhong Ziqi¡¯s various reactions: "I want to go to the south with uncle, don¡¯t worry, listen to me, you also know how profitable business is now, our family cannot rely on you alone. Hold on, I''m a man. Uncle has a big business in the South. I went to study with him. They have a dedicated team. I followed to study and make some money by the way. Then you won''t have to work so hard. I made money. , Give you a big restaurant, how good it is for you to be the shopkeeper."


    "Drawing pie to satisfy your hunger, in case you don''t make money!"


    Zhong Ziqi deliberately poured cold water on him and felt uncomfortable. He didn''t want Zhao Zhengan to leave him. He was helpless in this world. He finally had a loved one. He couldn''t bear the loneliness of separation, even if it was only short. Short separation.


    "Who am I, your husband? I am a person with a future. How can I not make money? If you don''t talk about the long-term, you can make a lot of money if you run a business trip, at least enough for our family to spend several years.


    "There are still people who have lost it. If you lose it once, you will lose your fortune."


    The most important thing for a runner is a person who combines vision and mind. They are bound to make a fortune, otherwise, a short-sighted person, he will invest money in things of little value, and will often lose his wife and collapse.


    "Don''t pour cold water on me."


    Zhao Zhengan grabbed his face helplessly: "I only need a little capital. If it is more, I earn it. Otherwise, I can''t lose it. The big deal is that I will come back and continue to support you. Who made you so capable."


    "Who is willing to raise you." Zhong Ziqi deliberately looked disgusted, and then changed to worry: "But you still have a headache? What if you are in danger?"


    This is what he worries the most. It''s not like being at home outside, you have to be careful everywhere.


    "It''s okay, don''t worry, I can handle it. I can just find the genius doctor you mentioned by the way."


    Zhong Ziqi shook his head and didn''t want to talk. He knew that Zhao Zhengan was doing his ideological work rather than discussing with him. Seeing that he was laughing and joking all day long, he was actually a person with stronger self-esteem than anyone else. It''s not about being a man to have face, but about being a man. As a man, he is a man who has to bear the life of another man. He does not allow himself to be lazy. He wants to support this family and does not want to be a brother. He is tired every day.


    To put it bluntly, it is a bit of male chauvinism. He can''t bear to be raised by him. Although he doesn''t feel much, he can understand his anxiety and restlessness, but he can''t cry like a woman to keep him from leaving, because he also Know that this is a serious matter.


    Looking into Zhao Zhengan''s earnestly expecting eyes, Zhong Ziqi suddenly felt that this matter was imperative.

 Chapter 57: Decide

    Shen Yubei returned to the town after having dinner at noon. The young couple obviously had something to say, so he didn''t stay here anymore and just went back to the restaurant to pack up the package.


    "Do you have to go?" Zhong Ziqi asked him last, sitting on the bed in the bedroom.


    "Can you give me a month?"


    Zhao Zhengan hugged him in his arms and said softly. He didn''t want to leave him for too long, he would miss him, and he didn''t worry about him.


    Zhong Ziqi listened to his words and leaned in his arms without saying a word. It would take a long time to think about it for a month.


    "If that''s the case, then go. The province will blame me in the future."


    If he wants to do it, let him do it, otherwise, there will always be regrets in the future, it''s just one month and it''s not that he won''t come back.


    "How could I blame you, it''s too late to like you."


    Zhao Zhengan shouted injustice. If Zhong Ziqi insists on not letting him go, then he won''t have to screw with him. There is more than this way to make money, and he doesn''t want to fight with him.


    "You''ll just talk smartly, get up, and I will pack your clothes."


    Zhong Ziqi glared at him and pushed him away. Seeing that the sky is getting colder and colder, some clothes that are too thin can''t be worn, but there are not many clothes that are too thick.


    "Don''t bring so many thick ones. The south is warmer than ours. You can buy it when it''s cold."


    "Alright, you can bring more money."


    Zhong Ziqi started digging through boxes and cabinets again looking for silver. There are several dozen silver ingots in the house, and he wants to bring him.


    Zhao Zhengan stopped him, took one of the many silver ingots and put it in the package.


    "Just take one? It''s too little. You need money if you take care of favors and stock up on food and clothing."


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head impatiently: "One is enough. I have everything for food and clothing. Twelve taels are my capital. If I have the life to make money, I can earn several times in a profitable way. Otherwise, twelve taels. Money should be a lesson."


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t listen to his set of crooked theories, and forcefully stuffed it in: "Take another one! It''s your business whether you need it or not, just in case."


    "...Well, I''ll take it." Zhao Zhengan couldn''t help but nodded in agreement.


    After packing all Zhao Zhengan''s things into a big package, Zhong Ziqi sat down on the bed unhappy again.


    Zhao Zhengan kissed his profile: "Don''t be unhappy, after I''m gone, let Zhao Ning come over to accompany you at night, anyway, good for you two."


    "Ok."


    "Don''t go out at night, close the door when you go home, and don''t open it if anyone knocks at night."


    "I see, I''m not stupid."


    "Fortunately, Dahei and Xiaohei have grown up. Whoever dares to sneak in will let the dog kill him!"


    "..."


    Zhong Ziqi was so worried about me with a slumped heart, so don''t leave!


    Zhao Zhengan said with a hippie smile: "Daughter-in-law, make me a delicious meal. I won''t be able to eat it after I leave. I will be greedy."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded and stood up loudly: "Okay, I will do it for you."


    "Daughter-in-law is really nice."


    Zhao Zhengan praised loudly, and then rushed to the kitchen. When things were busy, he wouldn''t think about things anymore.


    Zhong Ziqi went into the kitchen and looked left and right, and finally went to Zhao Baogen''s house to grab a small **** and came back, then boiled water to pluck the hair, and broke his stomach. Make a pot of fragrant chicken. Following that, a few other meat and vegetarian dishes were prepared.


    In the evening, Zhong Ziqi had a rare drink with Zhao Zhengan. Zhao Zhengan knew his drinking capacity, but out of some ulterior secret, he said that drinking more is good for physical and mental health.


    Zhong Ziqi drank and chatted with Zhao Zhengan non-stop: "When you get there, take care of yourself. Don''t be too tired. Take more rest. Your body has just recovered. You can''t stand the fatigue. Don''t worry about the little money. , Spend what you need, make good connections, be careful when people put on shoes for you, hiccup..."


    Zhong Ziqi burped alcohol and shook her head.


    Zhao Zhengan was helplessly crying and supporting his shoulders and whispered in his ear: "What is wearing small shoes?"


    Zhong Ziqi fell on his shoulders and murmured: "You don''t even know when you wear small shoes. It''s someone who stumbles behind you and sets you off to prevent you from hiccups... to win."


    This is what Zhao Zhengan meant by wearing small shoes. Zhao Zhengan thought it was a weird vocabulary. He didn''t know how he came up with it.


    "And when you get there, don''t allow hiccups... spend a lot of time and drink, carry me to find the mistress."


    Zhong Ziqi raised her head and said solemnly, but his face was flushed, and Zhao Zhengan was itchy to look at with watery eyes.


    "What is looking for a mistress?"


    "It''s... just hiccup... can''t find other brothers, or I''ll click it down for you!"


    As Zhong Ziqi said, he gestured downwards. Because the two were too close, he was drunk again. He didn''t grasp the distance and ran into him directly.


    Even if he touched it, he still scratched it ignorantly.


    Zhao Zhengan felt that Shi could not be tolerated. He was a decent man with good physical and mental health. He was so provoked by his beloved brother. He was not a saint, so he couldn''t bear it anymore. Then there is no need to bear it anymore, anyway. This is the purpose tonight.


    Zhao Zhengan stopped and hugged Zhong Ziqi, who was drunk and stupid.


    Zhong Ziqi hung in the air and instinctively hugged Zhao Zhengan''s neck, with watery eyes open like an innocent deer: "What are you...what are you doing? Quickly let me down, I... can go by myself!"


    "Hey, let''s go to rest." Zhao Zhengan said coaxingly in his ear.


    "Oh, but... but the table hasn''t been cleaned yet!" Zhong Ziqi said with his head tilted and blushing.


    "I''ll clean up in a while."


    "Oh, but... but Da Hei and Xiao Hei haven''t fed yet!"


    Zhao Zhengan put him on the bed, undressed, and dealt with casually: "I''ll feed him in a while."


    "Oh, but... but the chickens haven''t rushed into the henhouse yet!"


    "I''ll rush in a while."


    "Oh...but...but"


    Before Zhong Ziqi finished speaking, Zhao Zhengan gently pushed him onto the bed.


    Zhao Zhengan used his lips to plug the chattering little mouth of the other party, naughty sticking his tongue into his mouth and plundering the body fluid in his mouth, it was still so sweet and delicious that he couldn''t stop it.


    "Uh...uh..."


    Zhong Ziqi struggled out of breath, using both hands and feet, Zhao Zhengan let go of his little mouth nostalgic. Seeing Zhong Ziqi, whose complexion became more and more red, her eyes darkened, and a silver thread hanging from the corner of her mouth.


    Zhao Zhengan''s eyes darkened, and the desire in his eyes could not be covered! He stretched out his fingers and slowly rubbed the snow-white and tender skin in front of him a few times, feeling the fascinating touch, and then he couldn''t wait to lower his head and kiss his favorite collarbone and two small red beads of flesh.


    "Um...well... so uncomfortable..."


    Zhong Ziqi only felt that there was a fire in her body. He wanted to rush out but was restrained. He was so sad that he couldn''t get up and down.


    "Woo..." Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help sobbing.


    Zhao Zhengan was startled and raised his head and asked him: "What''s wrong? Where is it?"


    "Woo...below..." Zhong Ziqi raised her leg unconsciously and nudged Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan felt that the little thing cocked under him was constantly rubbing his thigh, and suddenly a certain string named Reason in his mind snapped immediately.


    Zhao Zhengan smirked and said, "I will make you comfortable right away!" Then he rushed forward.


    ¡­


    The moon outside doesn''t know when it will rise. Among the stars in the sky, it is so dazzling and sacred.


    "Woo... barking"


    Da Hei and Xiao Hei pitifully cried out both of them when they looked at the closed door in front of them, and listened to the movement inside with their ears erect. It was obvious that the master was still there, why not feed them both, they all smelled the meat. Up.


    Dahei and Xiaohei, who was lying at the door, were hungry and could only seek comfort in his dreams. Whenever he was about to fall asleep, he would always be awakened by a high-pitched voice, and then realized that it was not the owner who came to deliver the meal, so he could only continue to sleep. , And then was awakened by a low growl, and dropped his head in disappointment again.


    After this cycle, I don''t know how long it took before the room finally fell silent.


    After a while, the door was opened, and Da Hei and Xiao Hei were surprised to find that their master had finally come out. I couldn''t help but stepped forward and barked twice, quickly get something to eat, they were going to starve them to death.


    "Shhh... don''t make any noise, I''ll make good food for you."


    Zhao Zhengan said in a low voice that he came out with only one coat at this time. He was flushed and full of nightmares. He looked like a stray dog ??that had been hungry for several days. He had a meal of fragrant meat. It''s full.


    Zhao Zhengan went into the hall and cleaned everything on the table, picked some meat and rice from it and threw it to the two big dogs.


    Then I went into the kitchen and boiled a pot of hot water. I simply scrubbed it myself and brought the water into the bedroom.


    As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the **** of a room. The clothes are scattered on the ground. On the bed, Zhong Ziqi lies motionless. The quilt covers his naked body, leaving the clavicle exposed outside, with spots. trace.


    Zhao Zhengan twisted a wet towel and opened the quilt. Zhong Ziqi had a cold war in her sleep, subconsciously muttering: "No more... I''m tired..."


    Zhao Zhengan''s face softly kissed the corner of his mouth: "Okay, no more."


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t know if he heard his words and fell asleep peacefully.


    Zhao Zhengan cleaned up his body, looked at the hickeys all over his body, and nodded in satisfaction. To be honest, if it weren''t for Zhong Ziqi''s first time, he wouldn''t let it go so soon, and only did it twice.


    Zhong Ziqi''s body makes him want to stop, and he can''t wait to indulge in it and not go out, but reason tells him that he can''t hurt him, he will leave tomorrow, and there is no way to take care of him.


    Clean up his body. Zhao Zhengan quickly put the quilt on tightly. The air is cold at night, so don''t catch the wind! He spilled the water, went into the kitchen to wash all the dishes and chopsticks, and finally tidy up the house before going to bed.


    When Zhong Ziqi woke up the next day, the sky was already bright and the sun was shining straight into the house.


    Zhong Ziqi moved and remembered.


    "what!"


    He whispered, only feeling weak and weak in his body, and a burning pain in a place that is hard to tell. He suddenly remembered what he and Zhao Zhengan did yesterday.


    Zhong Ziqi''s face changed rapidly, and the final redness was the same as the cooked prawns. I didn''t expect to do it with him when he was drunk and confused. I thought it hurt, but the impression last night was only comfortable, although it was really uncomfortable afterwards.


    In fact, even if Zhao Zhengan didn''t get him drunk last night, he wouldn''t resist it. Thinking of the imminent separation, he can''t take care of anything. What''s the deal with the pain?


    "you''re awake?"


    At this moment, Zhao Ning came in from the outside, his face was a little red, but his face was teased.

 Chapter 58: meet

    When Zhong Ziqi saw Zhao Ning, she looked down and looked down at herself. Fortunately, she was wearing a jacket, which should have been worn by Zhao Zhengan while he was asleep. Zhong Ziqi then raised her head and asked him: "What are you doing? coming?"


    "Your family, Zhao Zhengan, came to me and said you were uncomfortable."


    After all, Zhao Ning was an unmarried brother, and he was a little embarrassed in the face of such a situation, and his expression was calm.


    Zhong Ziqi was also very uncomfortable to be made by him, especially now that he was aching all over, and was really unable to sit still, so he had to lie down again: "Where is Zhengan?"


    Isn''t it gone?


    "He came to me in the morning and told me to take care of you. He also said that he was going to travel far away and let me be with you in the evening. Is that true?"


    "Well, he is going to the South."


    "Huh? South?" Zhao Ning exclaimed: "Why is he going to the South? How to go?"


    Zhong Ziqi stretched out her hand and rubbed her waist and explained: "He went with my uncle. My uncle has a small business in the south. Zheng''an will go to study and investigate business opportunities."


    "Your uncle is in the south?"


    "Ok."


    Zhao Ning heard his Eminem say, saying that Ziqi''s uncle has come here, and his family is not bad, but he didn''t say where he was. He didn''t expect to be so far away: "Then they will leave today?"


    "Well, I said I''m leaving today, when is it now?" Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Ning.


    "It''s almost noon now."


    Zhao Ning reluctantly said that he came early in the morning, but Zhong Ziqi never woke up, and he was too embarrassed to wake him up. He wanted to help him clean up the house, and found that Zhao Zhengan did everything he needed to do. I made a pot of porridge before I left, and it''s still heating in the pot now!


    Zhao Ning couldn''t help being a little envious of their feelings. He didn''t know what his other half would be like in the future. He didn''t need to ask him how rich he was, but he had to be nice to him.


    Unexpectedly, it was noon. He slept so soundly. It was obviously too late to go to town at this moment. They should have already left.


    "Ziqi, are you hungry?"


    Zhong Ziqi touched her stomach and nodded silently: "Is there anything to eat?"


    Zhao Ning smiled: "Wait a while, I''ll bring it for you." Then he went out.


    Zhong Ziqi slowly propped up, shaking the neatly stacked clothes beside the bed, and putting them on. He didn''t need to guess who put them on, even if he was a man, but he was careful!


    After a while, Zhao Ning walked in with a pot of porridge and a plate of pickles.


    "Huh? Did you do it?"


    Zhao Ning covered her mouth and smiled: "It''s not me, I''m not so thoughtful."


    "Not you?"


    Zhong Ziqi knew who it was for a moment, and his heart was instantly warm as the summer sun shined.


    "How about you? I remember there were a lot of dishes last night!"


    Zhong Ziqi slowly sat on the chair, adjusted for a while, raised her head and asked Zhao Ning.


    "I saw it, it''s hot in the pot, I''ll bring it."


    Zhao Ning and Zhong Ziqi are not separated. When the porridge was heated just now, he had already heated up those beautiful and delicious dishes! Originally, he had to eat here today, and Zhong Ziqi couldn''t get tired, so he could only solve it by himself. He couldn''t cook, but he still could.


    After dinner, Zhong Ziqi lay in bed again, and Zhao Ning took a stool and sat at the table.


    "What are you doing?" Zhong Ziqi asked, tilting her head.


    Zhao Ning held a piece of blue cloth in his hand, sewing and mending, not knowing what he was doing.


    "I''m embroidering a purse."


    Zhao Ning raised the contents in his hand and showed it to Zhong Ziqi: "My Eminem told me to learn how to embroider a purse and give it to my future husband when I get engaged."


    Zhao Ning was still a little shy after saying that.


    Zhong Ziqi took it and took a look, and found that Zhao Ning had made very beautiful mandarin ducks with only half embroidered, but it was not difficult to see their exquisiteness.


    "It''s very beautiful, I didn''t expect your needlework to be so good!"


    He can''t do this at all. He just sews clothes and can barely make do, if he let him embroider things, it would be his life!


    "It''s okay, I just took this shot, and I don''t know anything about it."


    Zhong Ziqi returned his purse and lazily said: "No, we can learn! You are here with me, and I will teach you how to cook."


    "Really? Good, good!"


    Zhao Ning is naturally happy, just because he wants him and Zhong Ziqi to learn how to cook, otherwise who dares to ask him, the country folks are the most important thing to cook and sew!


    At this time, on the dock of Qingshui Town, a passenger ship heading to the south was docking on the shore.


    Zhao Zhengan and Shen Yubei walked to the dock one after another. Zhao Zhengan also looked back from time to time.


    "Didn''t you say he won''t come?" Shen Yu looked at Zhao Zhengan from the north side.


    "Um... won''t come."


    "Then what do you always look back at?"


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head with a wry smile. He just couldn''t help turning his head back, knowing that the person must be unable to get out of bed now, let alone showing up here, and he started to miss it shortly after he was separated, and there was an impulse in his heart. If he doesn''t go to the south, he will stay by his side, but reason tells him that since he has made a decision, he must carry it out to the end and not give up halfway!


    "Let''s go, the boat will leave soon, and you will be back soon." Shen Yubei patted him on the shoulder and said.


    "Well, let''s go."


    When Zhao Zhengan was absent, Zhong Ziqi was quite uncomfortable at first, but after a long time, she gradually got used to the loneliness of a person.


    Oh, what he said is ambiguous, and he shouldn''t say that he is alone, because Zhao Ning has been with him at his house, eating and living at night.


    During this time, Zhong Ziqi added a new product to himself¡ªthe twist. He put a small amount of honey, it tasted sweet and delicious. Suddenly attracted many customers.


    Because of the material used, the price of natural twist is a bit higher than that of fried dough sticks. But it is still sought after by many customers, and it has become a major feature of Qingshui Town. Many outsiders will come here to buy it. Because the twist can be stored for a long time, many people will buy a lot of it at once. It is a must for home.


    The shopkeeper Jin also specifically came to him to discuss that Zhong Ziqi could provide twists and fried dough sticks to the restaurant, but Zhong Ziqi refused because he had no staff and time.


    If you want to provide twists and fried dough sticks to restaurants, it can''t be too little. A few dozen a day is definitely not enough. Now even his small shop is not enough to sell every day, let alone other things.


    He was really too busy himself, he couldn''t help thinking about finding a helper, he had to think about it carefully.


    After a busy day, the harvest is the most happily sweeping away tiredness.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning returned home. They simply ate a meal and then washed and went to sleep. During the busy day, Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t have time to think about things, but before going to bed, he would also think about Zhao Zhengan. Think about how many days he has been away, how good is it in the South, whether he was tired, whether he made money, whether he had found a genius doctor, and... whether he was carrying him and other brothers and eyebrows, This is what Zhong Ziqi thinks about every night, and then she sends herself to sleep.


    Taking advantage of the rest of the day, Zhong Ziqi chatted with Zhao Ning, who was standing next to him: "Xiaoning, since the marriage of Brother Sheng has been cut off, why don''t you look for a family?"


    When Zhao Ning heard the words, he glanced at his busy elder brother: "It''s definitely broken, but that person doesn''t know what''s going on. They come to my house every other time, just like any relatives in our family. There is that brother. Every time people come to their house, he brings that brother. He always looks at my brother eagerly and shyly. He sees me disgusting. Isn''t it that we are all busy in town? There are not many people who can really meet, but the brother found here a few days ago."


    Zhong Ziqi was surprised: "I found it here? Why didn''t I hear?"


    "Two twists! A bowl of tofu brain!" someone shouted outside.


    Zhao Ning said, "I will tell you later." Then he went out with his things.


    After a while, he came back and said to Zhong Ziqi: "In fact, none of us knows about this, because my brother found out before he came in. My brother seemed very angry and told him not to come in the future. I''m looking for him, he won''t marry him, let him find another place."


    "Then how did you know?"


    Zhao Ning chuckled: "Later, my brother told us that he missed his mouth, and we only knew it, but my brother''s words seemed to be effective. That brother hasn''t come these days, but his parents seem to be unwilling to give up."


    Zhong Ziqi understood very well. After all, Zhao A''ma''s family has made a lot of money during this period, and his family has become well-off. No matter how stupid they are, they know whether they want bear paws or fish. It''s just too late to look back.


    Besides, Zhao Zhengan, who is in the south, has just arrived in the south. He went out to study business with Shen Yubei during the day and lived in the Shen family mansion at night.


    When he first arrived at the Shen family, the second elder of the Shen family summoned him as soon as he knew his identity. The second elder of the Shen family had white hair but a very strong body. Father Shen looked at him as serious as Zhong Ziqi said. , And Shen is a kind-eyed old man. It was just that his eyes were red at this time, and he was obviously crying, and Father Shen''s hand holding the cane also signaled his unrest.


    "You repeat what you know." Father Shen said in a deep voice.


    Zhao Zhengan glanced at Shen Yubei and had to tell the story about Shen Ama and Zhong Ershu again, and finally talked about the marriage between himself and Zhong Ziqi.


    However, it was obvious that the old couple had omitted the words that followed him, and Shen Yubei''s Eminem covered his mouth with a handkerchief and began to cry bitterly. Father Shen was also like a discouraged ball, even his back bends a lot.


    Although they couldn''t find any news about their eldest brother for so many years, they had always imagined that he was doing well in a certain corner. But I didn''t expect that the white-haired man gave the black-haired man in the end.


    "Blame you, you had to marry your eldest brother at the beginning, or else you wouldn''t be as unclear as it is now." Shen cried and complained.


    "Yeah, I''m all to blame."


    Father Shen muttered to himself, and suddenly fell from the chair, but fortunately, Hong Ying who was next to him quickly caught it.


    "Father? What''s the matter with you, father?" Shen Yubei took Father Shen in a panic and patted Father Shen on the cheek.


    "Old man, what''s wrong with you? Don''t scare me!"


    Shen Ama also panicked: "I don''t blame you, don''t go to your heart, hurry up and wake up."


    Zhao Zhengan was also taken aback by a series of things before him.


    The doctor came soon after diagnosis. It was diagnosed as a heart disease, and the heart was too deep. If this knot can''t be solved, then the life span will not be too long.


    Finally, the doctor left some medicine to restore the body and left. And Zhao Zhengan was not happy to stay, so he went back to the room arranged for him by Shen''s house.


    Father Shen woke up the next day, everything was normal on the surface, but the knot of the heart couldn''t be solved overnight.

 Chapter 59: Strange man

    This afternoon, because of the gloomy weather, the passenger flow was much less.


    "Let''s go back soon. It looks like it''s going to rain here." Zhong Ziqi said to a few people. If it rains, it won''t be good to go back.


    "This is estimated to be the last rain of this year, and the day after that, it''s cold." Uncle Huang said leisurely.


    "Brother Qi, have you made your cotton-padded quilt? You will have to wear it in a few days."


    Zhao Amo asked Zhong Ziqi that this is the first year of moving, and it is estimated that there is a lot of lack of things at home.


    "My previous clothes are still a little bit old, but they are a little bit old."


    Zhong Ziqi scratched his head. He didn''t have much demand for clothes, but Zhao Ama reminded him that he didn''t have a quilt yet. Although the quilt covered now has a layer of cotton, it is still too thin, and it is not cold resistant in winter. .


    "Now that I have made money, I still care about it. I buy some materials and cotton to make a set." Huang Ama said jokingly.


    "I want to do it, but I don''t know how to do it!" Zhong Ziqi said the point. If he could do it, he would have done it.


    "Brother Qi, this is not okay. As a brother, you are now a family. You can''t know how to needlework. Do you have to buy ready-made clothes in the future? That would cost a lot of money!"


    "Um...I know how to make simple stitches, but something else..."


    I can''t do anything about it. If it''s a big deal, I will buy it. He can still spend this little money, let alone how much he can buy. He just doesn''t want to do needlework, he can still pierce his hands full of needles!


    "You!"


    Zhao Amo shook his head: "It just happens that our Xiaoning''s needlework is pretty good. You can learn from him, and it just so happens that you also teach him how to cook."


    "Ok¡­"


    Zhong Ziqi nodded perfunctorily, and decided to decide what to do after sewing!


    Zhao Ning looked at the strange man in front of him, more than a head higher than him. Although he was wearing coarse linen, his whole body exuded a majestic temperament and the sharp gaze that occasionally looked over. How could he look like an ordinary person.


    "What...what do you want? Come in and have a look!"


    Zhao Ning was a little bit shocked inexplicably, and he had seen a lot of rich people, and he was supposed to have adapted to it.


    Hearing what Zhao Ning said, the man turned his head and asked him in a low voice, "Excuse me...Is Huang Zhaoping here?"


    Zhao Ning was startled when he heard the words, and just wanted to say that he didn''t know him, but then realized that there was Uncle Huang''s family in the store.


    "Are you asking Uncle Huang? Only Uncle Huang''s family name is Huang in our shop."


    "Yeah." The man hesitated for a moment and replied.


    "You come in with me, they are in the shop."


    It''s not very busy at the moment, Uncle Huang and the others are sitting together talking and chatting at home.


    "Uncle Huang, someone is looking for you." Zhao Ning led the people in and shouted.


    Uncle Huang and Ama Huang looked up at the door at the same time, the water bowl in their hands fell to the ground and broke. It shocked everyone.


    Neither of them paid any attention, but saw Uncle Huang stand up tremblingly and walked for two steps and asked with a trembling voice, "Lei''er? Is that Lei''er?"


    I saw the strange man straddling three steps and two steps over and kneeled in front of Uncle Huang and Ama Huang and his voice choked: "Father, Eminem! I''m back! Lei''er is back!"


    "Really Lei''er? My Lei''er...you finally came back!"


    Huang Ama couldn''t believe it at first, then tears fell down, holding his son and crying bitterly.


    Uncle Huang was in tears even as he was in his grade. Since his son was taken away by the conscription several years ago, the old couple seemed to have a piece of meat in their hearts. They had to hurt once a day. Is it so good to be a soldier?


    Daze country does not raise soldiers. The boundary where his son goes is just in an unstable zone. Small-scale conflicts erupt from time to time, and then many people die. In the first year of his son''s visit, letters are passed back, making the two feel at ease.


    But suddenly there was no news in the second year. If they hadn''t had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, the old couple would have fallen down a long time ago, how could they live to this day.


    "You leave... you worry about me and your father... I''m afraid you have a case. Fortunately... Fortunately, God''s favor made you come back safely... Otherwise, how can I live with your father." Huang Ama couldn''t stop crying with tears in his eyes, but what was revealed in the words was the joy of being lost and regained.


    Uncle Huang hugged his wife and cried with joy as he watched his lost son.


    "It''s the son''s unfilial piety that makes you worry."


    Huang Jinlei slammed three loudly on the ground: "My son has made you apologize."


    Why didn¡¯t he worry about them all these years. For some reason, private messaging was forbidden there. For so many years, he was afraid of his parents worrying, and he was also worried about whether they were sick but left unattended. Now it¡¯s okay. It''s not too late, but fortunately they still look healthy, but their hair is much grayer.


    "Get up, Lei''er."


    Uncle Huang hurriedly pulled his son up. They never felt that his son was unfilial. On the contrary, their son was the most filial. He usually rushed to do the work at home. He could also cook food and wash clothes, in his son''s words. Now that he is old, they should rest.


    "Everyone, let it go, the weather outside is not good, we are watching it is going to rain, we have to go back, wait for everyone to come again tomorrow!"


    Zhong Ziqi said to the people watching the excitement outside. Everyone is a regular customer here, and they all dispersed after hearing the words very understanding.


    "Huang, sit down and talk."


    Zhong Ziqi said with a smile, he also took a good look at Uncle Huang''s son. Being a soldier is indeed different. His eyebrows are full of seriousness and sorrow, and he has killed someone.


    "Yes, let''s sit down and say, you see that this child has just returned, and I don''t know if he has eaten yet!" Zhao Ama brought out some food from the back and put it on the table.


    "Eminem, who are these?"


    Huang Jinlei looked at these people in front of him. He didn''t know him. He saw that his door was locked as soon as he got home. After asking the neighbor next door, he told him that his father and Eminem were both "quite delicious" and let him come here. Come to him.


    Huang Jinlei knew very well that he had never heard of this name before, and thought it should have been opened later. He just asked casually and unexpectedly many people gave him directions. He just got here. As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Zhao Ning who was clearing the table outside.


    Huang Ama wiped her tears and raised a smile: "Son, Eminem will introduce you to you, Zhao A, this is your Zhao Ama''s two children, this is Brother Qi."


    Huang Jinlei politely greeted Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ama.


    "Thanks to them for their help, otherwise, your father and I would not be able to make money here!"


    Huang Jinlei bowed deeply after hearing the words: "Thank you for your care, my kid is grateful."


    Zhao Ama hurriedly said: "It''s too polite, you boy, why don''t you thank you? You and your father have also helped us a lot."


    "Yes." Zhong Ziqi nodded in agreement.


    Seeing that the sky is getting darker and darker, everyone has no time to say anything, so they hurriedly cleaned up the shop, then closed the door, and went back to each store. This old story can be recounted at any time. In case it rains, Zhao Amo He didn''t bring any rain gear. Unlike Huang Ama''s house, which is so close, there is no way to go back.


    Hurrying all the way, not long after I got home, rain began to float in the sky, and it was icy cold in my neck.


    Zhong Ziqi put the two **** dogs into the house, and took back the clothes that were basking outside. Close doors and windows. In a short while, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the smashed windows made a sound.


    "Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the son of Huang Ama and Uncle Huang, who doesn''t look much like them." Zhao Ning muttered while sitting at the table, propped his chin.


    Zhong Ziqi was also sitting next to him, thinking about the appearance of the person I saw today. Indeed, they have only a few similarities with Huang Ama, but this person is not bad, and the whole person looks energetic, although a little rough, but Upon closer inspection, it also has a different flavor.


    "But this person is a bit too scary, and it''s okay to laugh, I don''t dare to look at it when I''m stern," Zhao Ning said again.


    "It''s okay, I didn''t feel it, it was just a little serious." Zhong Ziqi shook his head and said.


    "Um...Is it because I think too much? How do I feel he is fierce?" Zhao Ning scratched his head and murmured.


    After a while, the rain outside reduced its momentum and turned into a patter of light rain. The day was almost dark. In addition to the rain, the light outside became darker and darker. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning trot all the way under the eaves. Ran into the kitchen.


    If Zhao Ning were not there, if Zhong Ziqi was alone, he would have eaten the leftovers and swallow the dates.


    Zhao Ning can''t do it now, but it''s best to eat something warm on a cool rainy day. So Zhong Ziqi made a pot of hot noodles with noodles. He and Zhao Ning were sitting in the kitchen, sweating profusely, snoring and eating, and they still couldn''t say enough.


    Then the two of them entered the house. If it was cold today, Zhong Ziqi simply took the quilt to the room where Shen Yubei lived. The kang is hot, so I can sit on it and do everything comfortably.


    "Ziqi, can I teach you embroidery?" Zhao Ningchao asked Zhong Ziqi with a smirk.


    Zhong Ziqi hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, you can embroider yours. I''ll just look at it."


    "It''s very simple, as soon as you learn it, you say you are not afraid that your family Zhao Zhengan will dislike you."


    Zhong Ziqi made a cut: "Why does he despise me? It would be good if I didn''t despise him."


    Zhao Ning shook his head. Now he has lived with Zhong Ziqi for almost half a month, and simple meals can still be cooked in style.


    "Didn''t Zhao A mean to find someone for you? How do you think it''s good?"


    "What''s not bad, my Eminem hasn''t waited for me to find it, so seven aunts and eight aunts came to introduce me."


    Zhao Ning said with a curled lips. If Ziqi is not married, it is estimated that he will not be any better than him, and the threshold of the family will have to be flattened.


    "You are almost sweet and sweet now." Zhong Ziqi laughed.


    "I would rather not be savory or harassed like this all day long."


    "In fact, if there is a good one, you can also take a look."


    Zhao Ning was angry when he talked about this: "Not bad? A few days ago, one of my uncles introduced me to a relative of their family. He said that the sky is falling in my house, how good it is. Then I secretly inquired. Well, that kid¡¯s family is very poor, but that person is very face-saving, and he always loves to pretend that he is not short of money outside. You say that such a strange thing is not a strange thing, how dare I marry!"


    Zhong Ziqi nodded silently, this is indeed unreliable.


    "Also, a nurse in the village who is quite senior, introduced me to his brother''s brother-in-law''s child. He said that he is gentle, and he is still studying in a private school. He hopes to be a talented student."


    "Isn''t that good?" This era is still very literary.


    "It''s very good. My Eminem was very excited, so I asked my dad to go to the village to inquire about it. But the people in the village said that because he was a scholar, he was arrogant and didn''t put others in the eyes. After being admitted to a talented person, he must marry a rich and powerful brother. But the problem is that the kid has passed the exam twice, and he didn''t pass the exam. You said that the ink is so expensive, and their family just offered it that way. He, he is reluctant to do any farm work, and his family is probably in a hurry. If they can''t afford it, they want to find someone to continue to provide for this bottomless pit."


    "This kind of person really can''t marry, otherwise, if someone really gets admitted to a talented person, they will despise you and kick you."


    Zhong Ziqi also looked down upon such people, squandering the hard-earned money of her parents, and failed to pass the exam twice, either you didn''t study hard at all, or you weren''t that piece of material. It would be a waste of money to continue studying. Similarly, he has no sympathy for the parents, and the responsibility of parents to raise such a child is not small.


    "Yeah, my Eminem and my dad thought so, so they refused to look at each other. I, Eminem, said that others had introduced too many unreliable ones, so I should wait for him to find out if he has any good people. "


    "Alright, Zhao Ama has always had a spectrum in his heart. This marriage matter can''t come in a hurry." Zhong Ziqi agreed, saying that marrying is a lifelong matter, and you must treat it with caution, otherwise you will have to go even if you are knocked out in your husband Swallow in the stomach.

 Chapter 60: Runner

    The second day was a fine and fine weather, and as Uncle Huang said, the temperature dropped sharply, and autumn clothes were no longer cold-resistant.


    Zhong Ziqi pulled out a jacket and put it on, and found another one for Zhao Ning to wear.


    Although it has been raining and sunny, the roads in the country are still muddy and difficult to walk. One foot is deep, one foot is shallow, and the foot is covered in mud.


    Several people entered the town. Huang Ama and Uncle Huang had opened the store door and were busy inside.


    "You are here? The road is not easy, right?" Huang Ama greeted Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ama with a red face.


    "Yeah, this is a money-making job, otherwise I won''t come out at all." Zhao Ama flicked his clothes in disgust.


    Everyone started to work on their own affairs while chatting.


    Although it was still early at this time, they started to enter the guests one after another. In his spare time, Zhong Ziqi discovered that Uncle Huang''s son didn''t know when he was here. Standing not far from him, feeling his gaze, immediately looked at it, and then stepped towards him.


    "Are you... anything?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    Huang Jinlei took a look at him and said, "I am older than you, just call me Brother Lei."


    "Uh...Brother Lei." Zhong Ziqi yelled smoothly.


    Huang Jinlei gave a hum, and said with a serious expression: "Thank you and your husband for taking care of you, otherwise their two elders will not be what they are now." Every day is full.


    Zhong Ziqi heard the words and said hurriedly: "No thanks, Brother Lei, you are too polite. When my husband and I first entered the town to do business, it was Huang Ah Mo and Uncle Huang who kept helping me, saying thank me. "


    Huang Jinlei shook his head and never argued with him. He had heard him say the reason for the matter. Although he helped them a little bit, Zhong Ziqi also gave them money, and no one owed it to anyone.


    "Don''t talk about this, I think you are very busy, I will help you fight?" Although Huang Jinlei is a bit fierce, his personality is gentle and polite.


    "In fact, there is nothing to be busy, just serve the order from the customer and collect the money by the way." Zhong Ziqi told him the price, and Huang Jinlei nodded to indicate that he had remembered.


    The work in Zhao Ning''s hands was done by Huang Jinlei. He was able to rest and leaned against Zhong Ziqi and said curiously: "It''s done pretty well."


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t care: "It''s not difficult."


    "The main reason is that he is not like the man who does this job."


    "Do you look like me?" Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Ning.


    "Um..." Zhao Ning touched his nose and stopped talking.


    Noon is their busiest time, and sometimes, they can''t even eat a bite of rice. Therefore, everyone has developed a habit of eating anyone who is hungry, eating whatever they like, and eating whatever is in their store.


    These few people in the store are either old or weak. Wherever they have a big appetite, Zhao Sheng''s appetite is a bit bigger, and when Zhao Zhengan was there, he was considered sick and his appetite was quite big. Because of this, everyone still teased the two for a long time, but when they saw Huang Jinlei''s appetite, everyone suddenly thought in their hearts that Zhao Sheng and Zhao Zhengan were really wrong before.


    It turns out that the real rice bucket is here!


    Huang Jinlei knew his appetite, so he took several twists and fried dough sticks from Zhong Ziqi, but he gave them money. At first Zhong Ziqi thought it was given by the client, but later discovered that Huang Jinlei ate it by himself.


    Although Zhong Ziqi was surprised that he took so much, but did not intend to charge him. Huang Jinlei waved his hand not to pick up the money he handed over.


    Huang Jinlei sat in a chair and ate the rice porridge made by Eminem.


    Huang Ah Mo had already seen his son''s appetite last night, and he poked Uncle Huang: "His father, go get a bowl of tofu for your son."


    Uncle Huang nodded and brought his son a bowl of tofu nao. Then, in the eyes of everyone in surprise, Huang Jinlei swept away a pile of food, the speed was like a locust crossing the border, without leaving a piece of armor.


    "The average family can''t afford it. One person can eat up to three people." Zhao Ning said in a charming voice.


    Zhao Ama shook his head and nodded on the youngest son¡¯s forehead: ¡°They are all good soldiers who have been in the army. Remember when I was a kid I took you to a banquet at an uncle¡¯s house, and I also met a man with a particularly big appetite. , You were so scared that you got into my arms and cried. That man was a soldier."


    "Oh, I don''t remember."


    Zhao Ning stuck out his tongue. How could he remember what happened when he was young.


    "Although this kid can eat a little bit, he looks pretty good." Zhao Ama thought thoughtfully.


    Zhao Ning shrugged and ran to the back to wash the dishes and chopsticks indifferently.


    "These ones."


    Huang Jinlei walked over and put the used bowls and chopsticks next to Zhao Ning.


    Zhao Ning glanced at him nervously and said, "Let''s put it here, take these to the front." Zhao Ning pointed to the ones he had cleaned.


    "Ok."


    The man responded but didn''t move.


    Zhao Ning looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why he was still pestering here.


    "Stretch out your hand." The man glanced at the unconscious person.


    Unexplainedly, Zhao Ning raised his right hand, only to see Huang Jinlei raised his hand and rolled up the wet sleeves that he didn''t know when he fell off.


    "The other one."


    Zhao Ning stupidly handed it over. When he reacted, the man had already left.


    Zhao Ning''s face turned red suddenly, and he looked down at his sleeves, bit his lip, and continued to wash the bowl absently.


    Little did he know that this scene happened to be watched by Zhao Ama, who had been observing Huang Jinlei, but Zhao Ama''s eyes flickered, and he looked at the two people with unknown expressions, shaking his head and nodding for a long while, not knowing what he was thinking.


    When I went back that day, Zhong Ziqi felt that something was wrong with Zhao Ning. He didn''t know what he was thinking. He was absent-minded at everything, and sometimes blushed.


    Zhong Ziqi curiously leaned her face face to face: "Xiao Ning, are you in love?"


    Zhao Ning returned to his anger and said, "You''re just getting hot!" This person can say anything.


    Zhong Ziqi sat down Shiran: "Aren''t you looking lascivious, why are you thinking about it? Which savage man do you want?"


    Zhao Ning blushed again when he was choked by Zhong Ziqi''s explicit words: "What are you talking about? What wild man, go cook now, I''m hungry!"


    Zhao Ning pushed his arm to the kitchen in anger.


    Zhong Ziqi joked and said, "Oh, my face is pretty thin."


    It''s rare that Zhao Ning didn''t whirl around him like he did in the past. There is really a problem, but since he is embarrassed, he will not ask for it. Sooner or later, he will talk about it.


    To say that what Zhao Ning thinks about is the scene that happened today, mainly because he, as a brother who has not been out of the pavilion, usually helps in the store, but he has never been so close to a strange man. How can we not let our minds think wildly after having had contact and interaction?


    But fortunately, Zhao Ning is a big-hearted person, and it didn''t take long for him to stop caring, and he continued to have fun with Zhong Ziqi.


    ¡ù¡ù¡ù


    Let¡¯s talk about Zhao Zhengan, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. It was the first time to run business with the caravan. They are now resting in a small city called Yongquan City. Its scale is at best a circle larger than the average town. This town is rich in one. Planting plants has great medicinal value, and it can be said that there is almost no other places.


    The leader of the caravan is called Shen Chong. Everyone is used to calling him Lord Shen. He is one of Shen Yubei''s henchmen. Shen Chong didn''t express any opinion about this person who was suddenly inserted by the master. He had already heard that this was the son of the eldest master. He came from the north and wanted to follow the businessmen.


    At first, Shen Chong looked at his young age and thought that he might just come to have fun, and follow their eyes to make a little money. Not very concerned.


    However, what he gradually noticed was that this kid and his kind, modest and studious attitude made him feel good, and he felt that this kid was calm enough. They walked through a few small towns a few days ago, and they also had some firsts in the team. People who follow the business once will buy something they find strange and weird, and then sell it to the next city to earn a meal.


    But this kid was there, he just watched and didn''t buy it, which had to make him interested. He wanted to see what this kid would meet.


    Zhao Zhengan actually didn''t know what he wanted. He didn''t encounter anything that made him feel valuable before, so he didn''t buy it either.


    The group of them stopped at an inn in Yongquan Town. Zhao Zhengan and Shen Chong said that they would go out as usual.


    Shen Chong nodded, and stopped Zhao Zhengan when he walked out the door: "Boy, this place is rich in a kind of medicinal material, you can bring some, and our caravan will also buy it."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "Master Xie Shen told me that the kid took it down."


    Yongquan City is not too big but it is very lively. Zhao Zhengan wandered in the busy street and soon saw the medicinal materials Shen Chong said, the green cross-toothed leaves, the rhizomes are slightly slender, but they have developed and dense heels. It is because it has grown a lot of small red fruits, which are hard to the touch, but it is said that the fruits are more effective than other parts.


    Zhao Zhengan came to be interested in buying this plant. He remembered the road map Shen Chong showed him. It recorded the route of their trip and the details of each town. After a few more stops, it was a big city. There are four gates for different purposes. The gates to the east are in an uninhabited area for more than a dozen miles.


    But a little further east is a military camp. I heard that there are many bandits in that area, so I stationed a military camp to suppress bandits. They will buy food, clothing, and medical materials in this city.


    The medicinal materials that Shen Chong bought are sold here, and they can make a fortune every year. Naturally, Zhao Zhengan would not miss such a good opportunity, so he bought a batch of money and asked someone to send it back to the inn.


    Then he wandered around this place again.


    "Brother, buy a hairpin, it''s very cheap." The seller was a man who looked more than 40 years old. He had a haggard face and squatted alone in a corner with a piece of cloth in front of him. A variety of styles of wooden hairpins.


    Zhao Zhengan walked over and squatted down, picked up a wooden hairpin and looked at it, and found that the wooden hairpin was very delicately carved, and the patterns on it were vivid. He remembered that there was an old wooden hairpin in the house that Zhong Ziqi had been using, and he hadn''t noticed it. Over.


    Now that it happened to be bought, he felt that such a simple and elegant hairpin was a good match for him.


    "Bring me two." Zhao Zhengan said to the man, and he thought it was good after two fingers.


    The man''s eyes lit up: "Wait a minute." The price offered by the man was a bit higher than the average wooden hairpin, but Zhao Zhengan felt it was worth it, so he didn''t bargain with him, and he left after passing the money.

 Chapter 61: Gossip

    "Hey, Ziqi, you heard that there is no Zhao family, but Wang Cuihua''s family. It''s said that they rushed to Wang Village some time ago-Wang Fugui''s family said the match went."


    Zhao Ning talked to Zhong Ziqi about the gossip in the village.


    It was dark early in winter, Zhong Ziqi and the others also came back early. After eating, Zhong Ziqi wore a padded jacket and lazily burned potatoes in her brazier when she was bored. It was getting colder today, and she was about to enter the winter moon. Now, the face hurt by the cold wind.


    Zhong Ziqi feels that the weather here in winter is much colder than the modern weather, and it is really cold to the bone. I really want to stay in a warm house forever.


    "and then?"


    Zhong Ziqi asked curiously, he unknowingly got a smell of gossip after being in this world for a long time. What''s more, he also wants to know how the follow-up development will be. I remember that not long after Zhao Zhengan left home, Wang Cuihua asked him to refuse again, and severely threatened him. If there was another incident, he would definitely let his son marry a crooked nose. oblique!


    He also warned the Zhong family, and this was the reason for such a cessation.


    Wang Cuihua is scared. Zhao Zhenghong is his lifeblood. He can¡¯t say anything to ruin this black-hearted family. They know everyone in the city. He is a local woman who has to be jealous. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan have no choice. My child, naturally I''m not afraid of anything.


    In the end, Wang Cuihua left in a desperate manner, planning to go home and tell his father that he should not provoke these two people, so as not to make any tricks behind their backs, their children still hope to marry a good brother.


    "I heard that Wang''s brother doesn''t like him at all, and he has completely damaged him by saying that his family''s faces are all green."


    Zhao Ning gloated and said that he didn''t look down on the Zhao family''s cheeks of toads wanting to eat swan meat.


    Zhong Ziqi flipped through the cooked potatoes and asked "how do you say?"


    Zhao Ning recalled what he had heard from other people, and then squeezed his throat to learn: "I don''t want to be engaged to him. You see that he has a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek. At first glance, he looks like a lazy rat who steals chickens and dogs, and then looks at his squint. The look of squinting is so disgusting, I can''t eat any more, I probably can''t sleep at night!"


    Zhao Ning couldn''t help but have fun while talking.


    Zhong Ziqi poked helplessly on his head: "How do you know what he said? You still learn to have noses and eyes as if you have seen them before."


    Zhao Ning smiled: "They all said that, I just restored it thoughtfully."


    "Just you have a lot of spooky ideas!"


    Zhao Ning probed the potatoes that were about to be cooked, swallowed and said, "Ziqi, I guess you don¡¯t know. I heard others say that the Wang family ignored him at first, but later Wang Fugui and his wife didn¡¯t know where they came from. I heard that the eldest son of the Zhao family is Zhao Zhengan, and that the hottest snack in the town is his. Wang Fugui reluctantly greeted him."


    Zhao Ning said that he turned his lips together: "I heard that people who went with Wang Cuihua also said that Wang Fugui reluctantly talked to him because Wang Fugui liked Zhao Zhengan and wanted to marry his brother to him. It was just Wang Cuihua and Wang Cuihua. Zhao Cheng did not hear it. After saying that Zhao Zhengan had already married you, Wang Fugui ignored them at all. The two of them thought Wang Fugui was very optimistic about his family. In the end, the face that was swept away by that brother was indifferent, but I didn''t dare to put the fart, so I came back in despair. This time I saw a lot of people gloating behind their backs and cheating on them."


    Zhong Ziqi was just stunned when he heard the words, but he didn''t expect someone to call Zhao Zhengan''s idea somewhere he didn''t know.


    "Take it out soon, I can smell the paste." Zhao Ning yelled anxiously. He is just a snack, and he can''t find anything delicious.


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t laugh or cry: "Why don''t I smell it, do you want to eat it? Don''t you want to eat so much at night?"


    Zhao Ning rubbed his stomach sillyly: "There is still a place."


    Zhong Ziqi shook his head helplessly, and used a small shovel to get the potatoes out and set aside to let cool.


    "By the way, my Eminem may have to go out in two days." Zhao Ning said while blowing potatoes.


    "Is there a problem?"


    "A good friend of my Eminem introduced a brother to my brother the other day, and Eminem would like to see it."


    "What did you say? How is your brother?"


    "Feng Ama and that brother in our village belong to the same village. They say that the brother is very good and capable, but the family is a bit poor. There is a brother above who has married a wife. It is said that the family is living in harmony. Yeah. I want to see it now."


    "If you say it like that, then I guess it''s worthwhile."


    "Probably."


    Sure enough, not two days after Zhao Ning had finished talking with him, the Zhao Ama and his wife talked to him and Huang Ama and went to the brother''s house, and even took Zhao Sheng with them.


    Zhao Amo gave Zhao Ning the tofu brain. Fortunately, Zhao Ning has already learned how to help often. Sometimes Huang Jinlei is too busy to help him. Zhong Ziqi inadvertently raised her head and suddenly felt that the two busy figures were unexpectedly harmonious.


    It was not until noon that Zhao Ama and the others came back, and Zhao Ama and Zhao Baogen both had joy on their faces, and even Zhao Sheng had a rare smile at the corners of their mouths.


    "Oh, is this done? Look at all of you in your family who are beaming." Huang Ama asked jokingly. Their Leizi is no longer young, and it''s time to find someone else''s home.


    "Yes, that brother is pretty good. The parents and sisters in the family are all kind people. We looked at them very well. His father went to the village to inquire about it. The villagers said that this person is a good family. It''s settled, let the two children get in touch with each other first, and if there is no problem with each other, I will discuss with their family and find a day to do it for them."


    Zhao Ama is also an impatient and wants to hug his grandson earlier, so he doesn''t even save the engagement banquet. However, it is not uncommon in the village. Some people will hold an engagement banquet if they want to be more lively, or if they don¡¯t want to hold a marriage directly.


    "It seems I have to prepare my gift money." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile.


    Zhao Sheng grinned naively: "It doesn''t matter whether you are polite or impolite, you and Zhengan can come."


    Huang Ahma laughed loudly: "Have you seen him? There is no such thing as a Ugly Yinmao? Your Zhao Sheng has already thought about the future!"


    Zhao Sheng heard that his dark skin was flushed red, and everyone was overjoyed.


    In the days that followed, Zhao Sheng would often go out. Everyone knew that he would definitely go to see that brother without guessing. Zhong Ziqi was very curious about what kind of brother she was, so she told Zhao Sheng to bring people, and they took a look.


    On the second day after speaking, Zhao Shengzhen brought that brother.


    When he first arrived, the brother was a little shy, his face flushed to welcome everyone''s attention, and Zhao Sheng''s face flushed and embarrassed as he stood beside him.


    Zhao Ama smiled kindly and walked over to everyone and introduced them: "This is Anning, the unattended wife." Then he introduced a few people to Anning.


    An Ning was a little shy but still yelled openly.


    Both Huang Ama and Zhong Ziqi thought this guy was pretty good, and they all liked it, and even Zhao Ning took his hand and talked to him happily.


    Zhong Ziqi felt inexplicably that An Ning and Zhao Sheng were bound to be successful. He could see that this brother was not pretending, and his eyes were not greedy, so there should be no surprises that the two should be able to form a family.


    Time flies quickly. In a blink of an eye, Zhao Zhengan has been away for a month. According to what he said at the beginning, he will be back in a month. Zhong Ziqi has been restless these days, and from time to time he wonders if the person outside is back. , I just waited and waited until no one came back.


    Zhao Ama, they always comforted him that maybe people are on the road.


    Until one day Zhong Ziqi waited for a letter, Zhong Ziqi suddenly had a bad feeling, opened the letter and read... well, this guy will have another half a month before he has time to come back, but it is the letter that makes Zhong Ziqi calm down. Zhong Zhao Zhengan said he missed him very much, thinking about him every night, Zhong Ziqi silently replied that I miss you too.


    The letter also said that he had bought a lot of things for him along the way, but some things could not be kept broken. Unfortunately, he had to throw them away. When he returned, he would buy them for him again. There were a lot of chattering letters. The second elder of the Shen family is also written on the top. At the end, Zhao Zhengan wrote a sentence waiting for me to come back.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the letter angry and funny, and finally folded the letter reluctantly.


    "How is it? Did he say when he will be back?" Zhao Ning asked.


    "It will take more than half a month, I guess it will take a long time."


    "How is it? Did you make money?"


    "I said he made some money." In the letter, Zhao Zhengan said that he made a lot of money by reselling the goods, but he did not specify how much.


    "Anyway, I have waited for a month, and it''s not bad for half a month." Zhao Ning comforted him.


    "Ok."


    ...


    When Zhao Zhengan, who was in the south, was resting in a coastal city when he wrote that letter, Zhao Zhengan caught a glimpse of the exquisite handicrafts made of shells and conch.


    Because it is too common here, the selling price is particularly low, Zhao Zhengan thought about spending a lot of money to buy a lot.


    When the letter arrived in Zhong Ziqi''s hands, Zhao Zhengan and his caravan had already begun to return. In Shen Chong''s words, they didn''t go far this time, and sometimes even went to other countries in the Western Regions for business. This time it¡¯s just for pediatrics, but it¡¯s enough for other first-time business people.


    When Zhao Zhengan went back, he sold the shells and conch shells bit by bit. When he sold it, he would not go to the store to sell, but to find the rich children, using their love of beauty, or the mentality of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha at high prices. After buying it, I unexpectedly made a large sum of money unexpectedly, and the peers who watched it were more than enthusiastic.


    Even Shen Chong gave a compliment, thinking that this kid is talented and smart enough to be a good business man. It''s just a pity that he has to go back after finishing the vote.


    Speaking of the Shen family, Father Shen has been depressed after learning that his eldest son has passed away, and he forced a smile on his face. Shen Yubei and Shen''s are too anxious.


    Until one day, Father Shen said that he wanted to go north to see his son and his grandson.


    Originally, Shen Yubei didn''t want to stop him, but: "Father, wait a minute, the north is now in the cold winter, and the weather is tight. What if you and Eminem go there if you don''t adapt to the illness? Besides, you With my grandson, I just finished talking to them, so you have to give them time to adjust, don¡¯t you?"


    Shen also nodded worriedly: "Yeah, old man, let''s wait. It''s not too late to go when the spring begins. It just so happens that the kid is coming back, so let him go back and make preparations for our grandson. After all, it would definitely be embarrassing if you haven''t seen it suddenly appear for more than ten years."


    It¡¯s not that Shen didn¡¯t want to see his grandson, especially after Father Shen was ill. He wanted to see it, just to untie Father Shen¡¯s heart. It¡¯s just that the weather in the north is too cold, and Father Shen is on the verge of being physically weak. Time is really not suitable for stress.


    Shen''s father was dissuaded by the two and couldn''t help but pause.

 Chapter 62: come back

    In a flash, almost half a month passed, Zhong Ziqi didn''t have time to count the time, so he discussed with Zhao Ama and the others to join in the fun.


    After nearly a month of getting along, both the Zhao Ama¡¯s and the brother¡¯s family are very satisfied with both parties. Especially the brother¡¯s family feels that this is a pie in the sky. The family conditions of the Zhao family are mainly compared with theirs. It''s almost a sky and an underground. They are all people from ten miles and eight villages nearby, and they all enter the same town, so a little bit of trouble can be spread out for several miles immediately.


    Their family also knew about the Zhao Ama family, because their business was so hot in the town, but at that time they were only envious. They never thought that this family would be married to their own family now. It was almost them. Home peace is the blessing of repairing in previous lives.


    When the two parents saw that the two children were in love, they immediately decided to discuss the days, seeing that the winter moon had already entered, and the Chinese New Year was only a few months away, and the two families decided to have the wedding a year ago. Although the brother''s family wanted to keep his brother at home for the last year, Zhao Ama said that the two families are close, and they are separated by a village. When the New Year, if you think about your brother, let Zhao Sheng go home with Anning. In the coming New Year, An Jia has no reason to hear this.


    Zhong Ziqi has forgotten about this incident these days.


    Until that day, when work was suspended, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning returned home talking and laughing, and found that the lock on the door was missing. Obviously they were there when they left before, it is impossible for the two of them to remember wrong.


    "Is it? Is it a thief?"


    Zhong Ziqi said vigilantly, glanced around and picked up a wooden stick with thick arms. Zhao Ning was also afraid to pick up a wooden stick and follow Zhong Ziqi behind him and whispered worriedly: "Be careful, Ziqi, it''s really impossible. Wait for me. I''ll go back and call my father."


    Their two weakly literate brothers can''t stop an adult strong man at all, let alone know how many people are inside at this time!


    Zhong Ziqi also knew this reason, he turned his head and hissed: "I opened the door quietly to see who was inside. If the situation is not good, I will turn my head and run."


    He hides all his belongings in his room. No matter how big he is, he will feel distressed. It was his hard earned money with Zhao Zhengan in the past few months. He doesn''t want to make others cheap, but also wants to see who it is? Dare to steal his house.


    Zhong Ziqi took a deep breath, gently opened the door to a gap, and looked inside and there was nothing unusual. The Dahei and Xiaohei from their house also slept in the yard as usual.


    Zhong Ziqi wondered why Dahei and Xiaohei were so quiet?


    Is it unreasonable?


    You must know that these two in their family are usually the most fierce, and everyone in the village who comes to a stranger can''t wait to bark can hear them.


    Quietly abnormal at this time!


    Very abnormal!


    It''s abnormal!


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the house where the doors and windows were confined, and listened carefully, but there was no sound of overturning cabinets. He opened the door and Zhao Ning crept in.


    Dahei and Xiaohei saw his master coming back, and ran over happily with his tongue out, Zhong Ziqi hurriedly hissed at them: "Don''t make any noise."


    Dahei and Xiaohei were unknown, so he whimpered twice.


    "Why is there no sound at all?" Zhao Ning asked in a low voice while pulling Zhong Ziqi''s clothes.


    "I''m also weird."


    Zhong Ziqi cautiously pushed open the door of the house. The tables, chairs and tea bowls in the house were all neatly arranged as they were when they left.


    wrong!


    Different!


    With sharp eyes, Zhong Ziqi noticed that there was a place where the tea bowl had moved, and there was an indistinct footprint on the floor of the house, which was leading to the direction of the bedroom.


    Zhong Ziqi listened attentively and there was still no sound. He winked at Zhao Ning and motioned him to step back and be careful.


    Zhao Ningmao nodded with her waist, sweating from her hand holding the wooden stick.


    Zhong Ziqi was also in a cold sweat, and his heart was very nervous. He held the door handle of the bedroom and took a deep breath. Zhong Ziqi slowly and quietly opened the bedroom door, just a small gap wide in the palm of his hand.


    But Zhong Ziqi immediately found a person lying on the kang. The person was wearing clothes and covered the quilt with his head facing inward, sleeping soundly, and he could hear the snoring sound when he listened carefully.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the familiar figure and could tell who it was at a glance. He sighed in relief, pushed the door softly all over, and turned back and said to Zhao Ning, "It''s Zhao Zhengan who is back, don''t be afraid."


    When Zhao Ning heard the words, he took a probe and found that the person was not Zhao Zhengan and who was it?


    He immediately felt relieved, and the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground with a sudden bang.


    The three people were startled in the silent room.


    That''s right, it was three people. Zhao Zhengan arrived in Qingshui Town at noon. He wanted to go to the store to find Zhong Ziqi, but he had to give up with a lot of things in his hand and rented a carriage and went home.


    He didn''t sleep well last night because of his closeness to the hometown. When he returned home, he suddenly relaxed, his clothes were not changed, his face was not washed, and he slept on the kang without eating.


    When he was sleeping soundly, Zhao Zhengan sat up with a jealous sound, staring at the two people who suddenly appeared at the door with dull eyes, obviously not getting over.


    Zhao Ning grabbed his hair awkwardly: "Hands...slid."


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help laughing. He almost threw the stick in his hand when he found out that it was Zhao Zhengan. He had thought that Zhao Zhengan would not come back so early, but he unexpectedly returned.


    It¡¯s also because his brain is not working well. The key to the house except him is Zhao Zhengan. He only thought that he had entered the culprit at that moment. If he calmly thought about it, he would find that the culprit did not turn around. How could Jia Dahei and Xiaohei be so quiet.


    "You are back?"


    Zhao Zhengan yawned and finally came back to his senses. He looked at the sky outside the window and started to darken.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the piles of things piled up in the room, then looked at Zhao Zhengan, who was shaggy and haggard, and asked a little distressed: "When did you come back? Why are you so haggard?"


    Zhao Zhengan got up and folded the quilt: "It didn''t take long for me to get home, and I slept for a while when I saw you guys didn''t come back."


    When Zhao Ning saw that Zhao Zhengan had returned, he couldn''t stay here anymore. It would be dark depending on the sky, so he had to go back first.


    "I''ll see you." Zhong Ziqi said and walked out the door.


    "You don''t need to send it, what can I give it just so close." Zhao Ning waved his hand and pushed away.


    "In case you encounter any bad guys, let''s go, I''ll take you to the village. I won''t keep you today, and I will invite you to dinner someday."


    Zhao Ning nodded in understanding. The husband must have a lot of whispers to say when he just came back. He won''t be an eye-catcher here.


    After sending Zhao Ning away, Zhong Ziqi returned home and found that Zhao Zhengan had already cleaned himself up, and restored to his previous cleanliness, unlike the uncle who was just alive and well.


    Seeing Zhong Ziqi''s return, Zhao Zhengan couldn''t help but look at him with fiery eyes. If Zhong Ziqi hadn''t stopped him, Zhao Zhengan would definitely be doing something inappropriate for children.


    "You tell me about your affairs for a month and a half first." Zhong Ziqi wiped his mouth and asked Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan smashed his mouth still intently, and touched his stomach when he started to protest, and said, "Daughter-in-law, I''m hungry! You can make me some food first."


    Zhong Ziqi immediately got up and said, "You wait, I will do it now."


    Fortunately, when he left in the morning, Zhong Ziqi took out a piece of frozen meat at home and put it in the kitchen. It''s softened now. Zhong Ziqi was swift and fry two dishes in a short while. He was afraid that Zhao Zhengan would be anxious, so he didn''t make any tricks.


    Zhao Zhengan sniffed the fragrance of the dishes made by his wife and swallowed deeply. He was used to eating the dishes made by his wife, and then he always felt unsavory when he went to eat the dishes cooked outside. Even if he had been to the best restaurant, he still felt bad. I don''t feel that their dishes are better than their daughter-in-law''s craftsmanship.


    As soon as Zhong Ziqi''s food was brought to the table, Zhao Zhengan started eating eagerly. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t stop smiling when he saw his delicious food: "You eat slowly, don''t choke."


    "Hmm... or the food you cook is the most delicious and delicious."


    "How can it be so exaggerated." Zhong Ziqi was in a good mood and sat down to eat, unknowingly he ate more than usual.


    After eating and packing up everything, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan sat on the fire kang, listening to what he had heard and seen.


    "Otherwise, Dazeguo has been blessed by heaven and has rich products. I used to hear people say that. At that time, I still sneered. After this time, I found out that I was really a frog at the bottom of a well. I walked through many cities and towns, and some The places are barren and backward, and some places are rich in resources. Just like a small town I have been to, it can¡¯t grow anything there, half of the plants and crops will die, and the remaining half will be dry and weak."


    Zhong Ziqi was deeply attracted by his words: "Then what do they live on?"


    "Because most of the fields where they live are stones, some people carefully discovered a very strange and hard stone, which can make a hard and sharp weapon, not inferior to iron, and usually people there sell these stones to make money."


    Zhong Ziqi thought in her heart, this is the answer to that sentence, God closed a door for you and must leave you a window.


    "Also, there is a small town where there is a plant that is said to be able to drive away all illnesses and health if you eat it, but we don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s true or false. It¡¯s just that people there rarely get sick. They are as strong as a cow."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded clearly. In his last life, he had heard of many weird plants, such as a small town. Newlyweds who live there for a year and a half will be pregnant with twins. Later, after investigating the place, It is rich in a kind of plant, and the local people usually feed on this plant, and this plant can secrete a kind of estrogen, which increases the estrogen in the body of the women who live there several times, and naturally they can be pregnant. Got twins.


    There are many such situations, so he doesn''t think it is too strange.


    "By the way, look at this."


    Zhao Zhengan took out a few sheets of paper and a few silver coins from his arms.


    Zhong Ziqi took it and opened the paper, only to see that "one hundred taels" was clearly written on each piece of paper. Zhong Ziqi only realized with hindsight where is this paper?


    This is clearly the legendary silver ticket!

 Chapter 63: Huge amount

    "Why so many?" Zhong Ziqi exclaimed. There are three hundred taels of silver bills. How did he earn it?


    Could it be...that was robbed?


    Keke, Zhong Ziqi threw out the unrealistic ideas in his mind. It''s just that he thought that he would earn a maximum of one hundred taels. After all, he only took twenty taels when he left. Who would have thought that it would have doubled so many times.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him with a look of surprise and joy, and his heart was filled with satisfaction. Even though the hardships along the way or the bandits almost died, he felt that it was worth it.


    Zhao Zhengan didn¡¯t want to tell him about those dangerous things, so he only told him some simple and interesting things, such as the shells and conch he reselled, and many weird things, making money, in fact, if it weren¡¯t those It¡¯s impossible for the children of the aristocracy to make a lot of money at once. He originally offered a high price and sold it to the rich, and those rich children often made a lot of money, and the rest was given to him as a tip. .


    "Really rich and wayward!"


    Zhong Ziqi listened and shook his head. They, ordinary people, wanted to break a penny in half, but these wealthy people used it to squander, what kind of money was not earned by father and mother, in his father''s words: just beating lightly.


    Zhong Ziqi is not a hatred of the rich, just a little emotional, because there is no shortage of such people in the previous life, and it can be said that there are everywhere. It is only now that I live at the bottom level that I feel how big the gap between the rich and the poor is, and those who are rich and rich only care about their freedom, and a few are truly for the sake of the common people.


    "and also¡­¡­"


    Zhao Zhengan carried the big and small bags he bought back onto the kang.


    "What is it?"


    Zhong Ziqi curiously opened a box containing dried fruits that he didn''t know what to make. Zhong Ziqi glanced at its dark appearance. He hesitated and ate one. His eyes lit up, sour and sweet. It was delicious.


    Zhong Ziqi took apart the hill-like things one by one like digging for treasure. There are everything in it, such as the southern lotus roots, sour plums, dried fruits that don¡¯t know what to make, snow-white pearls, all kinds of shells and conch, there are even a few yam, and many Zhao Zhengan listened to it. It is a mess anyway to talk about medicinal materials and fruits that are nutritious to the body.


    Zhong Ziqi said distressedly: "You... why did you buy such a thing? How much does it cost?"


    Zhao Zhengan smiled indifferently: "It doesn''t cost much. These things are very expensive in our opinion, but they are very widespread in other people''s places. I bought them from my own house. It''s absolutely cheap."


    "Why do you buy such medicinal materials? There are other miscellaneous things that are useless? I have never seen it, and I am not afraid of eating it!" Zhong Ziqi said silently.


    "These are all good for the body. I have asked the doctor that it''s ok to cook some dishes. The medicinal properties are very mild and there is no contradiction. It can replenish the body."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded and let go. Otherwise, he wouldn''t dare to eat medicinal materials indiscriminately.


    Zhao Zhengan turned out another box and opened the box. There were two wooden hairpins inside. It was the two bought in Yongquan City: "Look, are you pretty?"


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "It looks good."


    He has no pursuit of these accessories. The one he is wearing now is the simplest and worthless wooden hairpin, without even a pattern on it.


    However, he never cared about these things. He could only sigh wasted on the rouge jewelry that Zhao Zhengan bought back. He couldn''t bear to smear his face, like a monster, he usually lost a layer of rice when he talked. It''s too scary.


    "I''ll bring it for you." Zhao Zhengan got up and took off the hairpin from Zhong Ziqi''s head, inserted the new hairpin into his hair, took a step back and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction: "It''s very beautiful, I''ll take it with you in the future."


    Zhong Ziqi touched the wooden hairpin and nodded. Anyway, the color is simple and elegant, so he took it with him.


    "By the way, have you found the trace of the genius doctor?"


    Zhao Zhengan scratched his head awkwardly when he heard this.


    Zhong Ziqi immediately looked at him with a bad face: "Did you forget?"


    Zhao Zhengan really forgot, he forgot after he inquired about it at first. And all he walked was to find a genius doctor.


    "Forget it. Fortunately, my uncle and I have already said it, and he promised to help me find it.


    Zhong Ziqi rolled his eyes, feeling that the emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuchs.


    Zhao Zhengan knew that he was gracious and leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.


    At night, the two of them separated for a month and a half, naturally, as if dry wood hit a raging fire. The two were tumbling on the kang to do some regular exercise, roaring and groaning one after another.


    The next day there is no doubt that Zhong Ziqi woke up late again. When he woke up, the sky was already bright, and it was quiet inside and outside the house. There were occasionally two roosters and **** and black whimpers.


    Zhong Ziqi got dressed and got out of bed with some soft legs. Not surprisingly, he saw Zhao Ning who was hot in the kitchen again.


    "Hey, you are up!" Zhao Ning said.


    "What about him?"


    "Your Zhao Zhengan has gone to town!"


    Zhong Ziqi nodded, their family can''t be both at home unless there is something unavoidable.


    After washing, Zhong Ziqi sat at the table and began to eat early and late meals.


    "Ziqi, tell me about it." Zhao Ning asked with a starry look.


    "Say what?"


    "Zhao Zhengan didn''t tell you anything about what he saw or heard? You also told me about it?"


    Zhong Ziqi drank the gruel and shook her head: "I didn''t say anything, but I''ve been to several interesting places."


    Zhong Ziqi picked up and said something.


    Zhao Ning was fascinated by it: "I heard that the south is warmer, and there are more delicious things, right?"


    "The winter in the south is indeed much warmer than here, and in some places it is like spring all year round."


    After Zhong Ziqi finished speaking, the envious face of Zhao Ning couldn''t help but jokingly said: "Or...I ask my brother-in-law to find you a good relationship in the south and let you marry it so that you can live a good life and see what the south is like. What kind of it."


    Zhao Ningxin thought it was true and quickly shook his head and pushed back: "Don''t...I just asked, I don''t want to marry so far, it would be difficult to return home. If this is wronged in my husband''s house, I don''t know who to cry."


    "Oh... Are you sure there is no other reason? For example... Have a relationship?" Zhong Ziqi said deliberately.


    Zhao Ning blushed instantly, and stumblingly said, "You...what did you say? What...what is good? What should I do if people hear?"


    Zhong Ziqi suddenly realized: "It turns out that someone has a silly expression all day long, but it''s not a good one. How about I introduce one to you? It''s a good person and a good family background."


    "Hurry up and eat your meal, you can''t stop your mouth if you eat so much." Zhao Ning said angrily.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and shook her head.


    After dinner, and Zhao Ning entered the house, Zhong Ziqi took out a box of rouge from the cabinet and gave Zhao Ning some delicious food.


    Zhao Ning was immediately attracted to his attention, admiring the food while eating, and the South is indeed much more delicious.


    Then he picked up the rouge Zhong Ziqi handed over and studied it.


    "Do you like it?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    "I like it, is this also bought from the south? It smells so good, it''s better than the one bought by Damei and his grandfather." Zhao Ning said fondly.


    Zhong Ziqi had heard of Damei, a distant cousin of Zhao Ning. Although he was also married to a farmer, the family was in a good family situation and the jewelry and rouge he bought was better than ordinary people.


    "If you like it, I will give it to you."


    Zhao Ning was surprised and quickly returned to Zhong Ziqi: "I don''t want it. Zhao Zhengan bought it for you with great difficulty. I don''t want it. You can put it away quickly."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled, and handed it to him again: "Take it, I still have it. He bought two boxes back. I don''t like to use these. It''s useless to leave me here. It''s better for you to use it."


    Zhong Ziqi said it badly, Zhao Ning happily accepted it.


    When Zhao Zhengan came back in the evening, he was quite surprised to see Uncle Huang¡¯s son in the store. He always listened to Huang Ama and Uncle Huang nagging about how good his son was, but he never saw it. Yesterday Zhong Ziqi also forgot because he was happy. I told him that they were both stunned when they met each other today.


    Fortunately, after Huang Ah''s introduction, the two became familiar with each other gradually.


    Zhao Zhengan was a self-acquaintance and excellent communication. At that time, he could get along like a fish on the dock, not to mention Huang Jinlei. Within a long time, he got acquainted with the somewhat taciturn Huang Jinlei, and began to call him brothers and sisters.


    "Brother Lei is a good person, open and upright, although there are fewer words, but our personalities are very similar." Zhao Zhengan commented on Huang Jinlei.


    "Yes, but you are not the only one who feels good."


    "how do I say this?"


    Zhong Ziqi said with a smirk: "I can always find Zhao Ama secretly observing Brother Lei these days, I guess, Zhao Ama wants to get married with Huang Ama!"


    "That''s a good thing. Brother Lei is a good guy, knows the roots and knows the bottom line. It''s good for the two families to get married." Zhao Zhengan said.


    Zhong Ziqi said: "I think so too, but it hasn''t been settled yet. It''s not easy to mix things up with others."


    "Ok."


    Zhao Zhengan paused and asked, "Have you figured out how to use this money? Should you buy land in Baoshantou, or open a restaurant to continue business?"


    Zhong Ziqi was asked. He also thought about this question. If you are a landlord, it is actually not bad, as long as you rent the land out and wait for the money every year.


    However, opening a restaurant is an industry that is quick to make money, but it is also a very troublesome industry.


    He was also a little difficult to choose for a while, and he had to leave the problem to Zhao Zhengan.


    Without even thinking about it, Zhao Zhengan said, "Choose both!"


    Zhong Ziqi was speechless: "Just talk about the restaurant. It''s not necessarily whether you can buy it or not. Even if it is enough, where can there be money to buy land?"


    Zhao Zhengan smiled: "Will we have money when we open the restaurant!" Isn''t he still worried about making money back with Zhong Ziqi''s craftsmanship?


    Although Zhong Ziqi thought it made sense, she thought about it and finally shook her head: "Let me think about it again."


    It is not easy for them to open a restaurant. After all, Jinhua is still there. With his craftsmanship, he believes he can take half of the guests away, but doing so is too...


    He had helped him so much before, but now he is robbing business on the other hand, which is too unremarkable, so he should plan it carefully and think of a perfect solution.


    "Okay, think about it, don''t worry. Let me tell you one more thing."


    "what''s up?"


    "Our grandpa and they are coming."


    "Ah? When?" Zhong Ziqi opened her mouth, isn''t she coming now?


    "In the beginning of spring, it is too cold now, my brother stopped it." Zhao Zhengan said.


    "That''s good."


    Zhong Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief. If this comes, what should he do if he doesn''t serve well in the winter?


    There is a big climate gap between the north and the south. If there is a disaster, he will find a doctor wherever he goes. The doctors in this small town are all ordinary. What can I do if something happens!


    "The main reason is that grandpa is frustrated. Since learning that Eminem has passed away, he has been depressed and guilty all day long. If it weren''t for the fact that the winter is too cold, the whole family would like to come here soon! Long." Zhao Zhengan sighed as he spoke.


    "What about this? Actually, Eminem never blamed him. Although I didn''t mention the family often, I also said that my grandfather was a serious but responsible grandfather, and his grandmother never changed his heart to marry a concubine. It can be seen how grandpa¡¯s character is."


    Zhong Ziqi remembered the original Eminem in his memory, and when he mentioned the father who forced him, there were no complaints on his face, only deep thoughts.


    "I can''t help but hope that his old man wants to open it himself." Zhao Zhengan said, shaking his head.

 Chapter 64: Buy a house

    In the end, Zhong Ziqi still did not follow Zhao Zhengan''s resignation to open a restaurant. But he is not without any thoughts, especially in the past few days, he has thought about it carefully.


    Because his twists and fried dough sticks are relatively new in this world, they have won the hearts of many people. Young people like fried fried dough sticks especially, and the elderly are a little worse because they are too greasy. The twists definitely capture the hearts of all young and old.


    Those who see this market can''t sit still, so restaurants in other surrounding towns often come over to discuss with him whether they can provide them with a certain amount.


    Zhong Ziqi thought that he hired a few people to provide these restaurants with deep-fried dough sticks every day, which would be a lot of income.


    In this way, you can easily be your own boss, and you can make money without sinning.


    Zhong Ziqi told Zhao Zhengan about this idea. Zhao Zhengan naturally did not have any objections. His wife would say whatever he said was just fine, as long as he was happy, and he also thought it was very good. There was no need for the two of them to be busy every day and bother. , Especially Zhong Ziqi is as busy as a top every day, he feels distressed, and has long wanted him to rest.


    Since he wants to make it, he has to get it up as soon as possible. It is rare for Zhong Ziqi to take the initiative without procrastination. It is really cold in winter and he wants to go home to Maodong.


    Since it is decided to be a supplier, there must be a working place, and it must not be too far away or it will be inconvenient to come and go.


    Zhao Zhengan just wandering around in the town. It sounds like it¡¯s more than telling the truth that a family is going to sell a house. The family only has an old couple living in the town, and his son is doing business in other towns. Later, it seemed that he wanted to make money. When the parents took it, the old couple were naturally happy to be with their son again, but the house was empty and empty. They didn''t come back either, so they wanted to sell it.


    The price was originally quite high, but because it was too expensive and the house was a bit old, no one had bought it. The old couple was anxious, and the son was urging them, but in the end they had to come down.


    It happened that Zhao Zhengan came to inquire, took the opportunity to press down some more, and finally bought the house.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at this small courtyard. Although it was a little bit off, in an alley, but fortunately, it was just a few steps away. It is acceptable.


    The area of ??the house is large enough, and the yard is not small. Zhong Ziqi looked at it with satisfaction, turned around and said to Zhao Zhengan to open up the house.


    "You tell me how you plan to do it?" Zhao Zhengan asked Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi stood in the room and took a look at gestures and said: "It just happens that his room is relatively long, so let''s open it up. We can leave a door here to do things and talk. I cleaned everything away, set up a few stoves, set up a few tables, and got two cupboards to put rice noodles on the side..."


    Zhong Ziqi talked about Barabara for a long time, and finally eliminated some unrealistic things.


    In fact, it is very simple to sum up one sentence is to decorate.


    Zhao Zhengan said that he understood, and this matter can be left to him, and it must be done well.


    Zhao Ama, they heard that they had bought a house to expand the scale, and they were very envious. They felt that the two children were also a little bit out of their heads, thinking how difficult it was at the beginning!


    "Ziqi, if you go there, what should you do here?" Zhao Ama asked.


    Their tofu brains and porridge can be sold even without fried dough sticks, but the business must drop a lot.


    "I plan to hire someone to sell it. I don''t know who is good in our village, Zhao Ama, tell me."


    Zhong Ziqi asked, taking advantage of him to start paying attention now, when the house is decorated, he will train people to open.


    Zhao Ama thought for a while and thought: "If you want to say that there are good people, there are indeed a few. The two daughters-in-laws of Lizheng''s family are both very profitable. They never take advantage of them. They have a good reputation in the village."


    "Finally... remember Zhao Lan from the village?" Zhao Ama asked Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi thought for a long time before remembering who Zhao Lan was. He was the brother who had been abused at his husband''s house and was retired because of resistance. His mother''s family did not let him in because of embarrassment of him.


    Now this brother lives at the end of the village and lives by embroidery. There is no land, no man, no outstanding craftsmanship that life can be hard to imagine.


    "Lan Ge''er is also a poor man. It turned out that he was the most capable in the village when he was not married. Many people have matched this brother, but he found the wrong person and ruined his life." Zhao Ama sighed as he said. He is also a strong one. Unless it is particularly difficult, he will never accept any charity or help from anyone."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded and said that he would think about it. He hasn''t really contacted him, and I don''t know what kind of person it is. This is not anxious. He is a troublesome person, so he must ensure that there will be no accidents. Unclear.


    In the evening, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan talked about this and asked Zhao Zhengan what he thought of him and whether there was a suitable candidate.


    Zhao Zhengan''s eyes were dark: "You can figure this out. Lange is a good person. According to his behavior, he will not be softened even if the other party''s family makes trouble in the future. After all, his mother''s attitude in the past few years It¡¯s so chilling. No amount of expectations for family affection will be worn away. If the heart is soft, this family affection is just filial piety, then the Zhao family can kick him aside when they get what they want. Ask, I think Lang should understand this."


    "Well, then look for him. It''s not easy to be alone."


    Zhong Ziqi finally made a decision. However, he did not rush to find him, but waited for the renovation of the house.


    Only Zhao Zhengan can do the decoration work. Zhao Zhengan didn¡¯t look for it in the village. Instead, he found a few big men who worked in the town. These are all Zhong Ziqi¡¯s old rice minutes. I have been with him since he was selling bone noodle soup, and now it''s "quite delicious", and it''s amazing.


    Zhao Zhengan just asked who had time, and stood up four or five. Zhao Zhengan waved his hand and led the people to the house.


    It''s the twelfth lunar month of the winter.


    Zhong Ziqi paid their wages and offered them a lunch without hesitation. Of course, lunch would definitely not be fried dough sticks. There is a kitchen in the house, and Zhong Ziqi would make a pot of hot vegetable soup and heat some dry food for them.


    The same hot water is also ready, whoever is cold drink a bowl of warmth.


    In this way, I hurriedly hurried, and the six or seven days were completely busy.


    Only then did Zhong Ziqi start looking for people. First of all, he went to look for Lizheng''s two daughter-in-laws. This is also Zhong Ziqi''s first visit. He went to Lizheng''s son''s house first, and Lizheng''s eldest daughter-in-law is at home.


    "Brother Qi is here? Rare guest! Come in!"


    Lizheng''s eldest daughter-in-law is called Zhao Xuemei, who was born and raised in Zhaojia Village, and his father is an older generation in the village!


    "Brother Qi!" Little Huzi was also at home, and when he saw Zhong Ziqi come and call people obediently.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and touched Huzi''s head.


    Zhao Xuemei hurried to pour water for Zhong Ziqi.


    "Brother Mei, don''t bother me, I have something to tell you today!" Zhong Ziqi didn''t hide it and said directly: "I am short of manpower for business in the town. I don''t know if Brother Mei is willing to come. Help? The salary is easy to negotiate!"


    Zhao Xuemei was stunned when he heard this. He didn''t expect that Zhong Ziqi, who hadn''t visited him for ten thousand years, was looking for him for this reason. Now that Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan have a prosperous business, Shiliba Village apparently didn''t know it, and some people said that there are powerful people behind them. , The largest restaurant in town is supporting them!


    Even the father-in-law often urges them to have a good relationship with their family and don''t provoke them. Now it''s amazing!


    "What? Brother Mei, are you unwilling?" Zhong Ziqi asked when Zhao Xuemei hadn''t responded to doubts for a long time, if he didn''t want to, he couldn''t force it!


    Zhao Xuemei returned to her senses and nodded quickly: "Yes...Yes...I am still at home, and I will naturally be willing if I have work to do!"


    "That''s good, can you come to town with me when you have time tomorrow?"


    Zhao Xuemei hurriedly replied: "Yes..."


    After arranging a good time with Zhao Xuemei, Zhong Ziqi won''t stay too much, and he has to go to several other places to ask.


    It didn¡¯t take long before Zhong Ziqi was sent away that Zhao Hai came back from Lizheng¡¯s home. Zhao Xuemei explained what Zhong Ziqi had asked for him: ¡°I agreed without discussing it with you. It¡¯s a good appointment. It¡¯s a pity to let others. I am idle at home, what do you think?"


    Zhao Hai thought for a while: "Okay, since you have agreed, then go. It just so happens that you and your brother-in-law are a companion."


    Although the village is quite taboo for a brother to show his face outside, no one can say anything if he is doing serious things, and he can''t stop the mouth from being broken in the village, and they can''t give up a good opportunity because of this!


    After Zhong Ziqi left Zhao Hai''s house, she went to Zhao Hai''s younger brother''s house, indicating that he naturally agreed with no objections after he came.


    The last Zhong Ziqi was looking for Zhao Ershu''s daughter-in-law, Lingzi. A very introverted and honest person, Zhao Ershu''s son is also an honest friend. He didn''t express his opinion after hearing Zhong Ziqi''s intentions, but looked at his father, Eminem.


    Uncle Zhao¡¯s family grinned and nodded happily: ¡°Okay, let Reiko go, or else he¡¯s bored at home all day, I¡¯m afraid he will be bored!¡±


    When Lingzi heard this, she smiled shyly at Zhong Ziqi.


    The final three were finalized, and Zhong Ziqi went home. Zhao Lan planned to go again tomorrow. Tomorrow he would first teach the three of them how to fry dough sticks, and officially sell them the day after tomorrow.


    He has asked Zhao Zhengan to say hello to other restaurants, and he can place orders for everything he wants.


    When I came back early today, it was still dark.


    "How is it? All talked about?" Zhao Zhengan asked, and poured a bowl of hot water for Zhong Ziqi to drink.


    Zhong Ziqi felt a lot warmer in his stomach after drinking it: "I have discussed it all. I will go to town with me tomorrow, and I will go to Lange again tomorrow!"


    "Um... you decide!" Zhao Zhengan nodded.


    "I went to cook!"


    "I have heated up the food!"


    "have a future!"


    Zhong Ziqi sucked her nose and patted Zhao Zhengan on the shoulder!


    Zhao Zhengan squeezed his hand and approached the brazier: "It''s almost hot, and my hands are red with cold!"


    Zhong Ziqi smiled! Bake your hands obediently.

 Chapter 65: Zhao Lan

    On the vertical day, Zhong Ziqi took Zhao Xuemei and the three to the town early in the morning. Originally, Zhong Ziqi wanted to walk, but the second uncle of the Zhao family unexpectedly drove a carriage to send a few people to the town.


    "It''s still covered by Reiko''s light, otherwise we have to walk!" Zhao Xuemei said jokingly!


    Zhong Ziqi and Liu Meifeng nodded in agreement.


    Qian Ling smiled embarrassedly. He always talks less, so he can only smile when he encounters such a scene! Don''t know how to answer the call.


    Zhong Ziqi turned left and took the three of them directly to the small courtyard.


    "Brother Qi, this... isn''t your shop in the south?" Zhao Xuemei asked suspiciously. He was Zhong Ziqi, Zhao Ah, their shop, but not here. This place is a bit northerly.


    "This was bought separately and used elsewhere." Zhong Ziqi said, not realizing how amazing these words were!


    "Is this your family bought?"


    Liu Meifeng exclaimed, even Zhao Xuemei and the reticent Lingzi were shocked. How much does it cost!


    Buying a house in the town is something that many people never dream of. If they thought that Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had made a lot of money at the beginning, now they have overturned this idea, not making a lot of money, but making a lot of money!


    These hundreds of two houses are just as daunting!


    "Old house, not worth a lot of money!"


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and didn''t care!


    The three people behind Zhong Ziqi looked at each other, and they all saw surprise, envy, awe and so on in each other''s eyes.


    After the renovation, there were two doors left in this house, one is the one used for errands! Then there is a door left in the work space opened on the left. Zhong Ziqi made two big sturdy locks and locked the doors securely to prevent people from entering when she was away!


    Zhong Ziqi opened the lock and hung it aside: "Come in first, you guys will get familiar with it. Here I will go to boil some hot water."


    After sitting in the car for half an hour, everyone''s faces were flushed with cold!


    The three of Zhao Xuemei looked at the three pots and stoves and the furnishings in the house and didn''t know what Zhong Ziqi wanted to do.


    When Zhong Ziqi poured boiling water for the three of them, he warmed his body. Zhong Ziqi unhurriedly took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to the three of them.


    Liu Meiling and Lingzi looked at him in confusion.


    However, Zhao Xuemei knew a few words and stumbled to read them out.


    "From today onwards, Zhao Xuemei''s art learned here in Zhong Ziqi cannot be taught to others without authorization, cannot be sold privately... cannot be sold without authorization, and the formula must not be disclosed... Otherwise, the compensation will be 100 taels! If there is an accident, it can be determined according to the situation..."


    Zhao Xuemei looked up at Zhong Ziqi after reading.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and explained: "I believe that the three are not of that kind of person. They just have to have a guarantee. This word is based on your handprints. If you don''t violate the rules, everything will be fine. This paper is useless. Think about it, just in case. After you have finished your studies, people ran away, and set up another door, what should I do? This is also a rule for people who will be recruited in the future."


    Liu Meifeng and Qian Ling looked at Zhao Xuemei, wanting to see what he meant.


    Zhao Xuemei was flexible in mind. He thought about it carefully and thought of this principle. No matter who he was, he didn''t want to teach the hand art. The next day, they quit. It is excusable to think about it, or else they all say that the apprentice starved to death and the master was taught. Isn¡¯t that the truth?


    After thinking about this, Zhao Xuemei nodded, opened the lid of the cinnabar box, dipped the cinnabar, and pressed the hand print on the paper: "I am not that kind of person. I''m already content with my work here. If this spreads to the village, the long-mouthed envy will die."


    Liu Meifeng pressed her fingerprints when Zhao Xuemei said this. Qian Ling naturally followed suit.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded in satisfaction. In addition to their good character, the family members are not complicated, they are not the kind of greedy and malicious people. This is also Zhong Ziqi''s relief.


    After collecting these three documents, Zhong Ziqi began to teach the three how to make twists and fried dough sticks. Because the steps are simple, the three of them are all village women. They learn quickly, but the speed of twists is a bit slower, mainly twisting. Twist, if you can''t twist it well, it will be broken when the pan is blown up. It can''t be twisted too ugly, so the three of them have studied for a while.


    And the more I admire Zhong Ziqi, there is so much at a young age.


    "Brother Qi, where did you learn the fritters and twists? I have never heard of them."


    Liu Meifeng and Zhong Ziqi are similar in age and lively, unable to hide their curious questions.


    Zhong Ziqi knew that they would ask what they had already thought about. "My Eminem came here from a fleeing place. These twists and fried dough sticks are their food. We are not common here."


    The three of Liu Meifeng suddenly realized that it was so, no wonder they hadn''t seen it here.


    In half a day, the three of Zhao Xuemei learned to master, Zhong Ziqi and the three of them returned to Zhaojia Village. When they left, each brought some twists and fried dough sticks. The three of them were naturally overjoyed and accepted happily. .


    Zhong Ziqi sent the three people away and did not go home directly but to Zhao Lan''s house at the end of the village. The house where Zhao Lan lives is considered to be the worst house in the village, because it is a mud house. If there is heavy rain, his house may leak. Even a single man can¡¯t find a man to help. repair.


    Fortunately, Zhao Lan used to have a good hairpin in the village, and if anything happened, the brother would take his fellow to help.


    When Zhong Ziqi went there, the door of Zhao Lan''s house was closed, and Zhong Ziqi knocked on the door.


    After a while, it seemed to hear a door knock. A footstep approached from far to near, but instead of opening the door at the door, he asked: "Who is it?"


    Zhong Ziqi knew that one of the other''s brothers was not good at opening the door without authorization, and it was too late to call for problems.


    After clearing his throat, Zhong Ziqi said, "Is this Lange? I''m Zhong Ziqi from the village."


    Zhao Lan heard that his face was full of surprises, because besides his good friends, no one else would come.


    Zhao Lan opened the door and, as expected, stood a gentle brother with a smile and a gentle expression outside the door. Make people feel good at a glance.


    "come in."


    Zhao Lan turned sideways to let him in, knowing in her heart that there must be something wrong with the other party.


    Zhong Ziqi followed Zhao Lan into the room and looked around. At a glance, he saw several embroidered handkerchiefs and other semi-finished products on the kang in the room. Zhong Ziqi took a closer look and praised sincerely: "It''s so beautiful, Brother Lan. The craftsmanship is really good."


    Zhao Lan just smiled upon hearing this: "It''s just to support herself in ordinary ways."


    "Seeing it''s winter, did Lange make your cotton-padded quilt?"


    Zhong Ziqi can also be considered a knowing consultant, because Zhao Lan''s kang has an old quilt with a lot of patches stitched on it, and it looks very thin.


    Zhao Lan was silent for a while, and squeezed the padded jacket that was patched all over her body. Instead of answering him, she asked, "What''s the matter if you came to me today?"


    Zhong Ziqi smiled: "Yes, something is indeed coming to you today."


    Zhao Lan asked suspiciously: "What''s the matter?"


    "It''s like this... I don''t need a man to sell goods for me now when I do business in the town, I don''t know if Lange would you like it?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    "Why me?" Zhao Lan didn''t look very happy, he seemed very rational and calm.


    "You said Lang, don''t be angry."


    "you said."


    "Actually, I also listened to Zhao Ama. Zhao Ama said that you are a very good person and very capable. Adding you alone, there is nothing to worry about, and there is little right and wrong, so I came to you."


    Zhao Lan laughed mockingly: "There are few right and wrong. If I go to your place, there will be more right and wrong, and your ideas will be lost."


    Zhong Ziqi smiled warmly: "I believe Lange, you will take care of it."


    Zhao Lan said nothing.


    "Lango gives you some time to think clearly. I want to understand that I will go to town with me tomorrow morning." Zhong Ziqi got up and walked out after speaking.


    Zhao Lan just nodded and sent him out.


    Zhong Ziqi walked home slowly and started washing her hands and making soup. Then wait for Zhao Zhengan to come back from the town to eat together.


    ¡­


    Early the next morning, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi got up early, had dinner and met with Zhao Xuemei, and then Zhao Ama, mother and son also rushed over, and Zhao Ershu drove the carriage over to send them off.


    "Brother Qi, aren''t you leaving?" Liu Meifeng asked, clearly everyone is here, why didn''t you leave!


    "hold on."


    Zhong Ziqi said, looking into the distance.


    In a short while, a figure gradually appeared in front of everyone. This person was not someone else but Zhao Lan.


    "Ge Er Lan, why are you here?" Zhao Xuemei was also taken aback.


    Only Zhao Ama''s face was clear.


    Zhao Lan looked at Zhong Ziqi, and Zhong Ziqi smiled and patted the position beside her: "Come on, Lang, it is Lang I''m looking for, and Lang can help me sell the goods."


    "So that''s what I said." Zhao Xuemei nodded.


    Zhao Lan glanced at Zhong Ziqi: "You seem to be sure I will come."


    "I''m not sure, but I think in my heart that you will come. If you are a sane person, you won''t miss this opportunity."


    Zhao Lan was silent. It was true that he couldn''t miss this opportunity. Don''t look at him alone in his family. All the food and clothing are money. Although he can make money by embroidering, how much money can he make?


    Embroidery is the most time-consuming. From morning till night, his eyes are almost tired and blind, and he can''t finish embroidering one. Moreover, his craftsmanship is not superb, so he can''t change a few dollars at all. It is good to maintain adequate food and clothing. It''s impossible to make cotton clothes and quilts.


    Every piece of his clothes has to be worn carefully for several years, and there is no one without a patch. The only one with a few patches is the one he is wearing today.


    When Zhong Ziqi saw that Zhao Lan didn''t speak, he didn''t continue to talk more about this issue, but told him what he was going to do today.


    "There is nothing complicated, just sell goods and collect money. If you don''t, ask Zhao Ning and Zhao A."


    "Ge Lan, just ask me if you don''t understand, I know everything." Zhao Ning exaggeratedly patted his chest and said.


    The people in the car made a straight smile, and even the corners of Zhao Lan''s mouth showed a smile.


    The group of people just talked and laughed and entered the town.

 Chapter 66: Buyer

    On this day, people living in Qingshui Town found that there were always strangers driving horse-drawn carriages parked in an inconspicuous alley, and then someone entered the alley, and soon put a few baskets on the cart, and then set it up. The carriage went away again.


    "What are they doing?" Someone asked suspiciously, wanting to know what was in the basket.


    Someone in the know looked at him when he heard his words: "Don''t you come to Qingshui Town often?"


    The man nodded and looked at him asking for advice.


    "It''s quite delicious, haven''t you heard of it?"


    "I''ve heard that it''s spread in our village. The fritter twists in the delicious food are delicious, and the boss is amazing!"


    "The boss is pretty good. This is another big yard that sells deep-fried dough sticks. Those who drive the horse-drawn carts are all sent from restaurants in nearby towns and come here to buy them."


    As soon as the person shrank his neck, he couldn''t afford it. It''s better to take a detour and don''t run into anyone.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan stayed here all day in the workshop. Zhao Xuemei and the three of them did not have any problems with their hands and feet. The restaurants that bought twists and fried dough sticks have not been broken since the morning, and they bought a large number of them.


    This is all the whole money. Zhong Ziqi fainted happily as she counted the money. However, these two items are still too few, Zhong Ziqi thought about adding a few more items in the future.


    At the end of the day, Zhong Ziqi counted her silver, and her income was several times that of being quite delicious! At this rate, he soon paid back.


    Zhong Ziqi happily made a table of good dishes for Zhao Zhengan. Zhao Zhengan was so beautiful, he sat on a chair and rubbed his stomach.


    Zhong Ziqi said quite contemptuously: "Not promising."


    Zhao Zhengan smiled, and it didn''t hurt to be scolded.


    "Daughter-in-law, tomorrow I will go to the trafficker to buy someone, and train me to be a steward, how about?"


    "How can I buy people?" Zhong Ziqi asked puzzledly.


    "I don''t want you to rest, don''t be too tired!"


    Zhong Ziqi shook his head: "Why don''t you decide this matter later!" Although he really wants to live in Maodong, it would be a waste of money to buy someone, and he doesn''t worry about giving it to others in this era. The people who face to face and behind the set are powerful.


    "I''ll go and see. If there is a suitable candidate, I will decide on one, if not, I will do it first." Zhao Zhengan thought for a while and said.


    "Ok."


    "Daughter-in-law, it''s late, let''s go to bed and rest." Zhao Zhengan licked his face and approached Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at him in the dark. Everyone knows Sima Zhao''s heart. Although it is dark, Zhong Ziqi predicts that this guy will go to bed and rest before six o''clock. What if he is a second fool?


    "Aren''t you eating and holding? It''s not good to go to bed too early!" Zhong Ziqi said earnestly.


    "It''s okay, since it''s not good to go to bed early, let''s do exercises." Zhao Zhengan said thick-skinned, and after that, he hugged Zhong Ziqi and entered the house.


    Zhong Ziqi struggled endlessly, but it was a pity that he couldn''t beat him. In the rustling cold wind, only a feeble and pale word could be heard: "...You can''t do exercises after meals!"


    It''s just that this has been ignored by someone who was so excited.


    ...


    In the vertical day, Zhao Zhengan really went to the human trafficker to search for it. He just took a look to the right. Nothing was in the picture. It was not a thief or a dull-eyed silly eye, and a glib tongue, Zhao Zhengan. Thinking about this, if I recruit home, I may be careful behind my back.


    In the end, Zhao Zhengan had to give up, planning to come back later.


    Time passed quickly, another half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather entered the coldest time. Zhong Ziqi''s small workshop is on the right track, and Zhao Lan has already adapted to work there.


    As Zhong Ziqi guessed, Zhao Lan''s father, Eminem, heard that the youngest son who had been driven out is now working in the town with Lizheng''s daughter-in-law, so he cheeked and went to Zhao Lan''s house again.


    I want to let Zhao Lan go back under the family card, and I want Zhao Lan to get his sister-in-law over and work with him.


    Zhao Lan naturally refused. He was not obliged to help these cold-hearted and nominal family members. He can see it through, how many in this world can really be willing to be good to one person? Even his own father and Eminem are like this, can you expect others to treat him well?


    Zhao Lan''s Eminem was rejected with a bad face.


    One day when Zhong Ziqi came home, I don''t know if it was intentional, but he happened to run into Zhao Lan''s Eminem. Zhong Ziqi said hello out of courtesy, but he didn''t expect to get away from Zhao Lan''s conversation.


    Zhong Ziqi kept a smile on his face while listening to him. At first, it was all trivial, but slowly transferred to Zhao Lan.


    It is really the first time for Zhong Ziqi to see Youdang Emine who harm her child so much and promote her daughter-in-law. Zhong Ziqi mourned for Zhao Lan deeply. Having such a marriage also interrupted Zhao Lan''s endless chatter.


    "Well, I have to go back. It''s too cold this day. I''m almost frozen. I won''t tell you for now, I''ll go back first." After saying that Zhong Ziqi slipped on his feet.


    Afterwards, Zhong Ziqi told Zhao Lan about this as a joke, and Zhao Lan just said sorry to him. Only indifference remained in his eyes.


    Zhong Ziqi sighed with emotion that this world where boys are more important than brothers really hurts many brothers'' hearts!


    In the twelfth lunar month, Shen Yubei wrote a letter saying that he had found traces of the genius doctor, not in the rich south, nor in the mighty capital, but in a small town in the north, near that small town. None of the people know that he is the legendary genius doctor, who has only taken root in that small town for more than a year and has become famous.


    Anyone around who has an intractable disease can be cured by him, so there are many people who do not know that he is the legendary genius doctor but still come here admiringly.


    At the end of the letter, Shen Yubei wrote down the address of the genius doctor.


    After reading the letter, Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan: "Have you heard of Pu''an Town?"


    Zhao Zhengan thought for a while and shook his head: "I haven''t heard of it."


    "What about Yangzhou City?"


    Zhao Zhengan nodded fiercely: "I''ve heard of Yangzhou City, it''s not very far from the capital, but I haven''t been there. Naturally, I can''t find it."


    "Where is not important, what is important is when do we go?" Zhong Ziqi wanted to go early. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, he wanted to have a carefree and worry-free New Year with Zhao Zhengan.


    "This...unless I go alone, who will look after the house?"


    "Then what to do?"


    Zhong Ziqi thought for a while and said hesitatingly: "Or... you''d better buy another person. Pick one who is honest."


    "Okay, I will check again tomorrow!"


    The human trafficker obviously still remembers Zhao Zhengan. He greeted him very enthusiastically when he saw him: "Big brother, you didn''t pick what you meant last time. Look again this time. I have a lot of new arrivals. You See if it matches."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded, and followed him into a small alley, where there were all kinds of people, some standing and some sitting.


    Zhao Zhengan looked around carefully, and caught a man with a big round waist and a fierce look. This man is about thirty years old, maybe because of the scar on his face, it looks very scary. But the occasional naive attitude made Zhao Zhengan catch a face, and he felt that this person was not good-looking.


    Zhao Zhengan walked over and asked the man: "What''s your name?"


    "I... my name is Wang Jicheng." The man was obviously a little nervous.


    "Which person?"


    "Zhongzhou City People."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded and heard that the disaster there was severe this year.


    "Why does this scar on your face come from?"


    The man looked even more nervous: "A fight accidentally scratched!"


    "Oh? Because of the fight?"


    The man felt a pain. It turned out that Wang Jicheng did escape because of the disaster in Zhongzhou City. He had no father and no mother since he was a child. He married a daughter-in-law in his early years but ran away with others because he was too poor. This scar is between him and the adulterer. The one who was accidentally scratched during the fight was just an ugly scar left by the followers after the impulse, and the two of them had already run away.


    But he was so gutted because of this scar, he would be driven away because of his ferocious appearance when he went to find a job. In the end, it was really hard to make a living and eventually fell to this point. Even if he came to buy someone like this, the steward wouldn¡¯t look at him. .


    Zhao Zhengan nodded after hearing what he said, and then asked him a few more questions, and Wang Jicheng also answered honestly one by one. In the end, Zhao Zhengan nodded in satisfaction: "Just him!"


    Wang Jicheng was shocked. He didn''t expect that someone would really buy him. Even the traffickers were surprised, because he panicked when he saw the scars on the man''s face.


    "Big brother, do you... do you want to look at others again?"


    "No need, just him, how much is it?"


    Seeing that he didn''t change his mind, the trafficker no longer discouraged him, but reported a number. It was not too high, and Zhao Zhengan did not lower the price, handed it to Yinliang, and took over Wang Jicheng''s deed of deeds from the trafficker.


    "Let''s go." Zhao Zhengan called Wang Jicheng to follow him.


    Wang Jicheng was full of anxiety, but at the same time happy, looking forward to a new life.


    "Are you back?" Zhong Ziqi was calculating his account, and when he saw Zhao Zhengan coming back to say hello, he saw Wang Jicheng behind Zhao Zhengan, and he was also slightly surprised.


    "Is this the one you bought back?"


    "Well, his name is Wang Jicheng, he looks very honest, but he looks very scary." Zhao Zhengan introduced to Wang Jicheng after he said: "This is Fulang, you can listen to what he says in the future!"


    Wang Jicheng nodded in a humble manner: "Little understands."


    Zhong Ziqi scratched his head, and then realized a problem. This person couldn''t follow them home to live. It was too ostentatious. There was no place for him to live in the house.


    "What''s the matter?" Zhao Zhengan saw Zhong Ziqi''s face embarrassed.


    "No place to live!" Zhong Ziqi whispered.


    Zhao Zhengan was taken aback, and thought for a while: "Or let him live here. It''s not a problem that this room happens to have a small Kang living alone. Aren''t you worried about what to do if a culprit comes in? Let him live. Here, watch the door by the way." Zhong Ziqi thought about it and agreed. In addition to being a little smaller, it is also full of internal organs.


    Wang inherited naturally had no objections. This place was much better than where he slept now, and he naturally wouldn''t pick and choose.

 Chapter 67: Wang Susu

    On the second day, Zhong Ziqi ate in a hurry and entered the town in a hurry. He felt relieved when he saw Wang Hei and everything in the house were well. Not to mention, Wang Jicheng was very diligent. When they came, Wang Jicheng I have already gotten up. I cleaned the yard and the house, and made a hot pot of rice porridge.


    Zhong Ziqi, Zhao Xuemei and the others came here in the morning and it was very cold. At this time, it was more comfortable to drink hot porridge for a night. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help but praised it greatly, and Wang Jicheng smiled embarrassedly.


    After that, Zhao Zhengan took Wang Jicheng to familiarize himself with the environment, telling him what to do and what not to do.


    While Zhao Zhengan gave enough sweetness, he did not forget to frighten him. For example, Zhao Zhengan would pretend to casually say how powerful his wife''s uncle is in the south, and how expensive he is, and then tell Wang Jicheng not to mess with the snobbery behind the Jinhua restaurant, but if you have something to do, you can go to the treasurer.


    Zhao Zhengan''s inadvertence is to imply that Wang Jicheng should not give birth to a rebellious heart. He is not incapable of taking him.


    Wang Jicheng nodded with a serious face to indicate that he had remembered. In his opinion, he has no worries and no support on his own. It is usually a problem to feed himself. Now that he has such a good destination, he is naturally overjoyed, and how can he abandon it.


    Moreover, he was grateful to the two masters in his heart, and secretly decided to follow the master no matter what. The master is his family.


    Within a few days, Zhao Zhengan figured out Wang Jicheng¡¯s temperament. He was a silly and stupid big man. He didn¡¯t dare to go west if you told him to go east. Normally, the silly smiles, but he is A person who accepts death is very hard working and will not be lazy.


    Zhong Ziqi also particularly curiously told him that this kind of people belonged to a rare level, so they were lucky enough to meet. As long as you give him a little benefit, he will remember it for a lifetime, and he will die to the end.


    Although Zhao Zhengan nodded his head, he agreed with him, but he felt that he should observe for a few more days.


    The three of Zhao Xuemei in the workshop watched Zhao Zhengan walking around with the strange and vicious man every day. I was very nervous at first, but then I heard Zhao Zhengan''s introduction that this was a newly hired steward. Usually, if he and Zhong Ziqi are not here, just listen to him.


    Naturally, the three of Zhao Xuemei did not dare to have any objections, and gradually came into contact with them, and found that this person was not as inaccessible as he was on the surface, and was a very easygoing and honest person.


    "Young Master, why don''t you tell him my true identity?" This was puzzled by Wang Jicheng.


    Zhao Zhengan was a little uncomfortable listening to this awkward address, but Wang Jicheng called him master at first, and later even wanted to call him grandfather. In Wang Jicheng¡¯s words, he was a servant and he was a master. He didn¡¯t dare to commit a crime, and finally passed him. Struggling, can only call this awkward-sounding title.


    "Although you were bought by me as a servant, but my intention to buy you really requires you to take care of this place, so there is nothing wrong with my introduction. My husband and I are going to go far away in a few days. I have to study hard so that I can rest assured to leave it to you."


    Upon hearing this, Wang Jicheng nodded solemnly: "You and Master Qi, don''t worry, I will definitely not make mistakes."


    "I hope so."


    Zhao Zhengan said, there is nothing difficult for him here, the usual trivial things about rice noodles, and the thing about ordering twisted dough sticks from restaurants, just make it right.


    "Zhengan."


    A soft and weak voice sounded behind Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan turned his head and froze for a moment: "Why are you here?"


    This person is not someone else but the brother who was engaged to Zhao Zhengan but regretted the marriage, his name is Wang Susu.


    Wang Susu came over gracefully, silently, and silently glanced at Wang Jicheng who was standing silly. Obviously, Wang inherited as a light bulb.


    "Just say anything." Zhao Zhengan said impatiently, what would it be like when a big man and an unmarried brother were in private contact, and how could he explain to his wife if there were suspicions!


    Wang Susu bit his lip: "You... are you doing well?"


    Zhao Zhengan expressionlessly: "As you can see, I''m having a good time."


    It was the first time that Wang Susu was treated so coldly. He looked a little bit handsome, and the men outside would be harmonious and friendly when they saw him. There was no way that he looked like Zhao Zhengan''s eyebrows and cold.


    Wang Susu couldn''t help but feel red in his eyes. I saw a pitiful look: "Zheng''an, are you still blaming me? Actually, I don''t want to divorce you, but my father forced me to force me. What the matchmaker said, I can''t help it."


    The more Zhao Zhengan listened, the more annoyed he interrupted him: "What are you trying to say? If you just come to ask me if I blame you, then I tell you, I don¡¯t blame you, on the contrary I have to thank you, otherwise I haven''t touched my husband yet."


    Wang Susu paused and didn''t answer the question. Instead, he changed the subject: "I...I always think of you these days, so I came to see you." Wang Susu looked at Zhao Zhengan with a rosy look on his face.


    Zhao Zhengan rolled his eyes speechlessly, without a trace of pity, "It won''t be good if you say it in your fiance''s ears. I''ll leave for nothing. I''m very busy." Zhao Zhengan turned around and turned around. The workshop.


    Wang Susu stomped his feet as he watched the distant back, and his eyes were red. It turned out that Zhao Zhengan was a very gentle person, but now he treats him like this.


    When Zhong Ziqi came back from Zhao Zhengan, he found that his mood was not right, so he didn''t say anything when asked him. Zhong Ziqi didn''t ask, but asked Wang Jicheng when Zhao Zhengan was not paying attention: "Did you encounter anything when you went out today?"


    Wang Jicheng scratched his head: "No...I just met someone just now, and after a few words we came back."


    Zhong Ziqi felt that Zhao Zhengan was in a bad mood because of this person: "Who is it? Who is it?"


    "It''s a brother, about the same age as the young master."


    "What did they say?"


    Wang Jicheng thought for a while and said, "I didn''t say anything, just what the brother said was not deliberately retiring."


    Zhong Ziqi immediately knew who it was after hearing the words: "That brother alone?"


    "Um... alone."


    Zhong Ziqi is silent, what does this brother want to do? Suddenly came out, still looking as if I was forced to be helpless, he is already engaged, and he still wants to eat it back? He still didn''t believe that he would marry him according to Zhao Zhengan''s situation at the time. Presumably, without his will, his family could not do so neatly, and retired the marriage without any cumbersomeness.


    At night, before going to bed, Zhong Ziqi yawned and asked, "Is it all right to see your old friend today?"


    Zhao Zhengan''s eyes that had been closed suddenly opened: "Have you heard about it? Wang Jicheng told you?"


    "It''s me who made you unhappy, so I asked him. Why? Don''t you want me to know?" Zhong Ziqi raised her eyebrows and looked at him.


    "No... and it''s not a shameful thing. I didn''t tell you that this is because I was afraid to offend you." Zhao Zhengan hurriedly argued. He didn''t tell him that he was afraid of misunderstanding and unhappy. Now it seems like Backfired.


    "Why am I upset? Are you two still doing shameful things behind my back?"


    "It''s wrong, I just said a few words to him, the conscience of heaven and earth, I didn''t even say five words to him. If you don''t believe me, ask Wang Jicheng."


    Zhong Ziqi looked at him hurriedly: "I believe it, I didn''t say whether or not."


    Zhao Zhengan was relieved when he saw that his expression was not fake: "I don''t know how he appeared there, and he was alone and didn''t see anyone else."


    "Then what did he talk to you?"


    Zhao Zhengan touched his nose: "He said that it was not his intention to remarry me, but his parents arranged it, and told me not to blame him. I was impatient to listen and came back."


    "Didn''t it mean that he has already booked a marriage appointment? Why haven''t I heard of when to get married!" Zhong Ziqi asked suspiciously.


    "This...I don''t know, maybe someone has something to do. Let''s extend the day."


    "Okay, go to sleep, don''t talk about him." After getting the answer, Zhong Ziqi stopped asking, yawned and lay down to sleep.


    ¡­


    Seeing that it was about to enter the twelfth lunar month, Zhong Ziqi was also a little anxious. He had inquired that it would take them six or seven days to get to Yangzhou City without stopping. In this way, they didn¡¯t have much time left, so they had to do it as soon as possible. Set off.


    Zhao Zhengan is also anxious. Now Wang Jicheng has almost trained here. He can take care of the accounts and do things, and he can stand alone. Zhao Zhengan can safely let him take care of him, but there are only four people in this workshop. The three are brothers. It¡¯s not nice to have Wang Jicheng a big man there. Zhao Zhengan went to Lizheng¡¯s youngest son, Zhao Jiang, and asked him to be here with Wang Jicheng. There is no need for him to do anything. He comes around every day. Turning, the three brothers of Zhao Xuemei in the province were afraid.


    Of course he will also pay him, but not so much. Zhao Jiang naturally agreed. Zhao Sheng is his good buddy. Even if he doesn''t pay, he will help.


    On the day of departure, Zhong Ziqi took all the belongings, just in case, he and Zhao Zhengan each brought half of the money. Then I prepared a large bag of food to pass the time on the road.


    The chickens and dogs in the family are entrusted to Zhao Ama to take care of them.


    "Be careful on the road, there are too many robbers and bandits, don''t...don''t follow in your father''s footsteps."


    Zhao Ama uneasyly warned, he also knew that these two children had gone to a genius doctor, Zhao Zhengan¡¯s illness could not be delayed, but the journey was far away, and no one knew what they would encounter. The two children combined were not as old as him. What if something happens, what can I do!


    "I see, ah, we will be careful." Zhong Ziqi said.


    The passenger ship docked on the shore was about to set sail. Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t have time to talk to Zhao Ama. Originally, Zhao Ning Huang Ama and the others would also come to see him off. They were persuaded by Zhong Ziqi. They were so delicious that they couldn¡¯t do without people. There is no need to send them off, only Zhao Ama can''t help but insist on following the instructions.


    Zhao Zhengan also asked Wang Jicheng to take good care of his house and so on. Then we got on the boat with Zhong Ziqi.


    It didn''t take long for the passenger ship to head in an unknown direction.

 Chapter 68: like

    Pu''an County is a small town with beautiful scenery, simple folk customs and rich products. Outsiders often come here to relax. Especially now that there is a genius doctor in the town, there is an endless stream of people entering the town.


    As a result, people in the town will not be surprised if they see strangers or people in gorgeous clothes, but they will detour away silently so as not to run into a big person, which is something they can''t afford.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi walked the waterway for three days, and rode a horse-drawn carriage for four days. They drove non-stop, and finally arrived in Pu''an County that afternoon.


    When they arrived in town, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi were not in a hurry to find a genius doctor. Instead, they entered an inn and asked for a bucket of hot water to freshen up. They all hate themselves, let alone others.


    I couldn¡¯t wait to take a shower and changed my clothes. The two asked for a table of food. Zhao Zhengan yelled and ate it. Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t know if he was too anxious to travel these past two days, but he didn¡¯t have any appetite, but simply ate. With one bite, he put down his chopsticks.


    "In a while, just let the genius doctor show you what''s wrong, don''t heal my disease, but it makes you exhausted." Zhao Zhengan looked at his haggard face with distress.


    Zhong Ziqi said nonchalantly: "Maybe it''s just walking too quickly and I''m not used to it."


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head: "You are also looking for a genius doctor, let him see if there is any problem with your body, let''s get treatment as soon as possible."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Okay."


    The two filled their stomachs, and then they sounded like: "Little brother, I heard that there is a genius doctor in your town. I don''t know where the others are?"


    Xiao Er smiled: "The two also came to our town''s genius doctor?"


    "Yes, I heard that the medical skills are good, so I came here especially, but I don''t know where he lives?" Zhao Zhengan said with a smile.


    "On another street, there is a medical clinic, which is opened by a genius doctor. You can find it when you go."


    "Okay, thank you brother."


    Zhao Zhengan rewarded Xiaoer with a few copper plates, and the Xiaoer smiled more sincerely when he received the money.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi went to another street according to the shop''s instructions. No wonder the shop said that they could find it. The small door of the medical hall where the genius doctor is located is as delicious as their home, obviously not quite as big as theirs. It''s delicious, and there is an old plaque on the door with the words "Medical Hall" written on it, there is no extra nonsense.


    If it weren''t for the long queues of people coming in and out, indicating that this is where the genius doctor lives, they would have thought they had gone wrong!


    "You also came to see the genius doctor, right?" an old Ah Mo asked.


    "Yeah, ah, are there so many people here every day? When do you have to wait?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    "Don''t look at the number of people, but hurry up, the genius doctor will know what is wrong with you as soon as he gets his hands. Then ask his little apprentice to catch the medicine." Old Ah Ma told them the situation with great experience.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded his head taught, and arranged with Zhao Zheng behind Lao Ama.


    Indeed, as the old Ah Ma said, the line looks long, but it disappears very fast. I heard other people say that unless there are intractable diseases, ordinary wind, headaches and brain fever will be healed by his apprentice.


    Soon, it was the turn of Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi before it got dark, and it was obvious that they should be the last wave of people, because it is said that the apprentice of the genius doctor, the handsome and elegant man came out to chase people out: "Everyone. It''s all gone, I''m here for today, and everyone will come back tomorrow."


    Although everyone was unwilling to hear this, they did not complain. Unless whoever gets the disease is treated immediately, the time for genius doctors to sit for consultation is stipulated.


    "Two, please inside." The man reached out his hand in a please gesture.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi entered the medical hall, and immediately found a man about forty to fifty years old sitting on the left side of the medical hall. He was neither fat nor thin, but ordinary-looking, and he appeared the kind of person who could not be distinguished in the crowd.


    "It''s not enough to be so slow?" The man said impatiently.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi hurriedly walked over, clasped their fists and saluted: "Meet the genius doctor senior."


    "What kind of seniors are not seniors, just call me the doctor just like them."


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan looked at each other and replied, "Yes."


    "Which one of you watch?"


    "He sees."


    "We both watch"


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi said in unison.


    Zhao Zhengan frowned: "Isn''t it okay?"


    Zhong Ziqi coughed: "Look first."


    "What are the symptoms?" the genius doctor asked, knocking on the table.


    Zhao Zhengan just broke his head from the beginning, to stupid, and now he is healed, saying: "After that, I have sequelae. My head hurts a lot. It lasts about five minutes each time... "


    "Stretch your hand over."


    Zhao Zhengan stretched his hand over. The genius doctor took the pulse for a while and checked other places. He looked relaxed and not embarrassed and said: "I''ll prescribe you a prescription. You take a medicinal bath every day. Come in the morning and I will give you an injection."


    "Then...how long does it take for the doctor to get better?" Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help asking. The genius doctor is indeed a genius doctor. After seeing so many doctors, he said that he couldn''t get rid of it.


    "Why? Is home far from here?" The genius doctor raised his eyes and asked, and quickly wrote a prescription: "Aye, go get the medicine."


    The young man waiting on the side took the prescription: "Yes, Master."


    Zhong Ziqi glanced at the long list, and then said, "Yes, doctor, our house is far away from here. It took us nearly ten days to get here, and we still want to go back before the New Year. "


    Hearing this, the genius first looked at him in silence, and then said: "I only need to give him injections for five consecutive days. After that, you follow the prescription I prescribed and soak in the medicinal bath for one month."


    "That''s good, so we can rush home to celebrate the New Year."


    Hearing this, the genius doctor shook his head: "I don''t know if you can go back. I only know you. It''s not a good time to be too busy."


    Zhong Ziqi was taken aback for a moment, and pointed at herself: "Me?"


    Zhao Zhengan immediately became anxious: "Doctor, did my husband have something wrong with him? He couldn''t eat on the way when he came, and his face was pale and scary."


    The genius doctor silently motioned to Zhong Ziqi and stretched out his hand to him: "Your husband is indeed a happy pulse, but because you usually don¡¯t pay attention, it is also possible that you have been tired from sleeping in the dust these days, and the fetus is a little unstable. I will give your husband. Some medicine, just drink it for two days, but when you go back, you should pay more attention to rest and don¡¯t get too bumpy."


    The genius doctor said a lot for himself, completely ignoring the two people who had been petrified.


    At this time, Zhong Ziqi''s heart was like a group of horses and horses galloping past. He wanted to spray the doctor''s face with blood. What he was worried about still happened.


    It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t want to have children. How can I put it? It¡¯s that as an orthodox good youth in the 21st century, a woman who has been instilled for more than 20 years has the idea of ??giving birth to a woman and a man who has worked hard. I can''t accept it, no wonder he always feels a faint pain in his stomach these days, he didn''t talk to Zhao Zhengan, just because he was worried, I didn''t expect it to be like this.


    Zhao Zhengan on the side was also petrified. At this time, his mind was filled with the words of the genius doctor: "Your husband, this is Ximai...ximai...ximai."


    "Doctor, you mean my husband... does he have my child?"


    Zhao Zhengan asked in a trembled voice, desperately in need of an affirmative answer to prove that he had not misheard.


    The genius doctor obviously saw too much of this kind of thing, and repeated it again: "Yes, your husband is a happy pulse, if there is no accident, then it is your child."


    Zhao Zhengan''s eyes widened in ecstasy, completely ignoring the ridiculous words of the genius doctor, he turned to look at Zhong Ziqi, with a happy expression on his face, and wanted to reach out to touch his stomach.


    Zhong Ziqi: "...cough cough, that...doctor, doesn''t he need to administer the needle today?"


    "No, starting tomorrow, I will take a medicated bath when I go back today, and I will prescribe a few more medicines for you, and you can drink it when you go back," said the genius doctor.


    "¡­¡­it is good."


    When I came out of the medical hall, it was already dark. Except for the inn, most of the shops were closed, and there were only a few hurried passers-by on the street.


    "Daughter-in-law, we have a child... Great, I knew it earlier. When we came, we should be more careful on the road. It was almost gone... Fortunately, God bless..."


    Zhao Zhengan surrounded Zhong Ziqiluo and talked for a long time, only to find that the Lord didn''t say a word, Zhao Zhengan''s joy suddenly disappeared a lot, and he cautiously asked: "Daughter-in-law... are you... Don''t like this kid?"


    Zhong Ziqi said that I couldn''t accept it, not that I didn''t like it, but still said, "No, I like it very much, but it was too sudden and I didn''t prepare myself."


    "Just like it, this belongs to our child, I am looking forward to it." Zhao Zhengan said sillyly.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at him when he was so happy that he almost danced, and his frustrated heart was let go somehow. Thinking about it, it¡¯s actually not a big deal. There are no 21st century people in this world, only men and brothers. Son, so it¡¯s not uncommon for him to be pregnant, and he won¡¯t be laughed at. On the contrary, he will look down upon him if he has no children!


    He likes Zhao Zhengan, and it can even be said that he has fallen in love with him after so long of development. Therefore, it seems that there is nothing unacceptable to the monkey in life. Baozi ran around with his back butt, as if...not bad? !


    Zhong Ziqi kept comforting herself in her heart, it was no big deal, just a pain...


    Back at the inn, Zhao Zhengan asked Zhong Ziqi to sit on the bed. He instructed Xiao Er to decoct the medicine and carried a bucket of hot water.


    After Zhong Ziqi finished drinking the medicine, Zhao Zhengan opened a packet of medicine and poured it into the bath tub, then took off his clothes and sat in and began to soak in the medicated bath.


    Zhong Ziqi smashed the smell of bitterness in her mouth, yawned, and went to bed first without waiting for Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan sat in the tub and looked at Zhong Ziqi who was asleep. He couldn''t help but grin. In order not to affect Zhong Ziqi''s sleep, Zhao Zhengan was always light and gentle when he came out, and then ordered Xiao Er to carefully lift the tub out. After that, he went to bed and rested together. After a long journey, coupled with the mood of ups and downs, he was also tired and fell asleep shortly after lying on the bed.

 Chapter 69: acid

    After a deep sleep, when Zhong Ziqi woke up the next day, Zhao Zhengan had already gotten up, food and medicine were also ready, just waiting for him to get up.


    Zhong Ziqi scratched her head and was a little embarrassed: "I got up late."


    Zhao Zhengan still kept his face happy: "You are tired. The doctor said that I need to rest more every day, because I can''t sleep and get up early."


    When he thought that he had a child, he was so happy that he couldn''t sleep anymore, and when it was dawn, he got up and went to boil the medicine himself.


    Zhong Ziqi got dressed, washed, and sat at the dinner table to eat. He still has no appetite today. Under Zhao Zhengan''s worried eyes, he ate a bowl of rice.


    After eating, Zhao Zhengan handed the soup medicine to Zhong Ziqi, and took out a bag of things. Zhong Ziqi opened it in a puzzled manner and found that there were a few cubes of sugar inside. Even if Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t eat it, she felt sweet in her heart. There is someone who cares about this. If you are in love with you, what else can be pretentious, just give birth to a monkey if you have a monkey.


    After taking the medicine, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan went to the hospital. Although it was morning, they still lined up, but fortunately there were not many people. Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi are already quite familiar, and they are directly behind.


    "doctor."


    The genius doctor looked up at the two of them and got up: "You two come with me."


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi quickly followed. There is also a small room inside the medical hall, which is obviously used for rest. The genius doctor pointed towards Zhao Zhengan and said, "Take off your clothes and lie down."


    Zhao Zhengan glanced at Zhong Ziqi when he heard the words, and then slowly began to undress.


    Zhong Ziqi wanted to go out a little embarrassed.


    "Just take off your shirt, you don''t need to take off the bottom, just show your feet." The genius doctor explained that the two of them had misunderstood.


    Zhao Zhengan quickly exposed the place that should be exposed as the genius said.


    Zhong Ziqi took a chair and sat in the distance, holding her breath and watching the genius doctor take out the needles, and then plunged into Zhao Zhengan''s acupuncture points one by one.


    After a while, I saw Zhao Zhengan sweating profusely and his expression in pain.


    After piercing the upper body, the genius doctor pierced a few more needles on the soles of his feet and it was over. Before leaving, the genius doctor instructed Zhong Ziqi to come and ask him to remove the needle in about half an hour.


    Zhong Ziqi answered hurriedly. The genius doctor went out now, and there was a group of people waiting for him outside.


    After the genius doctor left, Zhong Ziqi moved the stool to the bed and watched him lying on his stomach like a hedgehog. He couldn''t help but smile and asked, "How do you feel?"


    Zhao Zhengan sighed helplessly: "Very funny?"


    Zhong Ziqi clenched her hand into a fist and put it to her mouth and coughed twice: "...Do you hurt? It looks scary."


    "Fortunately, some places are painful, some places don''t feel much."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded and asked, "Is the medicinal bath effective yesterday?"


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him dumbfounded: "No matter how powerful the genius doctor is, it can''t be effective all at once, otherwise, why should I take a one-month medicated bath."


    "Yes. You said that this small town doesn''t look special. Why does the genius doctor take root here?"


    Zhong Ziqi asked inexplicably, touching his chin. He also heard that the whereabouts of genius doctors were always erratic. He appeared in this town today, and he might run into that city tomorrow. Suddenly he stopped in one place for so long, too. Quite curious, what made the genius doctor stay?


    Zhao Zhengan thought, "Maybe I don''t want to wander anymore, I want to live a stable life."


    "maybe."


    The two chattered, and soon half an hour passed, Zhong Ziqi estimated the time to go to the outside to find a genius doctor.


    The genius doctor came in and pulled out the needles one by one: "Okay, come back tomorrow!" said the genius doctor.


    "Thank you doctor."


    Zhong Ziqi helped Zhao Zhengan to walk out of the hospital. Zhao Zhengan moved his muscles and bones and felt that it was not bad, and he felt comfortable all over.


    "Let''s go out and go around?" Zhong Ziqi said, turning his head around and looking around. It''s hard to come and see what''s different and fun here.


    Zhao Zhengan immediately shook his head when he heard the words: "No, you are pregnant with a child. What if you are squeezed and bumped? Besides, it''s so cold, let''s go back to the inn. If it''s caught in the wind, how uncomfortable it would be." Zhao Zhengan was warm. Warmly persuade.


    "I''m not a porcelain doll. Why are you so spoiled? Do you go? If you don''t go, I will go by myself!" Zhong Ziqi turned around and left.


    Zhao Zhengan quickly followed up: "Don''t go too fast, what should I do if I get hit by someone."


    "Don''t worry, it''s okay!" Zhong Ziqi waved his hand and said.


    Zhao Zhengan had no choice but to follow him. Zhong Ziqi watched the fun around him, while he was wary of passers-by around him, and quickly protected Zhong Ziqi to see who was walking around.


    "Sell noodles, a bowl of three cents."


    The two happened to pass by a noodle stall and heard the stall owner yell: "What''s in your noodles?" Zhong Ziqi smelled it quite fragrant.


    "The husband, I only put sour radish in this side, it tastes a bit sour."


    Zhong Ziqi couldn''t help swallowing when he heard the words: "The boss will give me two bowls."


    "okay."


    Zhao Zhengan sat down with Zhong Ziqi and asked, "Daughter-in-law, are you hungry?"


    Zhong Ziqi touched her stomach: "It''s kind of."


    "You haven''t eaten properly for so many days, and it''s normal to be hungry."


    In a short while, two bowls of noodles came up. Zhao Zhengan tasted it. It was a bit sour. He had never liked sour noodles. He looked at the noodles in the bowl and looked at the fragrant daughter-in-law, a little worried.


    "Can''t you eat it? If you can''t eat it, give it to me!" Zhong Ziqi said, he forgot for a while that he doesn''t like to eat sour, but this noodle is really delicious and appetizing, he likes it.


    "Don''t eat it, don''t you support it?" Zhao Zhengan glanced at his stomach. He can usually eat these at home, and he will definitely support it if he eats it again.


    "It''s kind of. But it''s too wasteful." Zhong Ziqi said with some pity, he couldn''t bear such delicious noodles.


    Zhao Zhengan was helpless, so why suddenly hesitated: "We are not short of these three pennies, let''s go, I will buy it for you if I like it."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded, looked at the bowl of noodles reluctantly, and didn''t care anymore: "Let''s go then."


    In this way, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi walked around Pu''an Town and returned to the inn. Zhao Zhengan was also relieved and let go of their hanging hearts.


    Zhong Ziqi got tired when he returned to the inn, so he fell to bed and went to sleep.


    Zhao Zhengan was a little bit dumbfounded. He sat on a chair and poured a bowl of water and drank it.


    Zhong Ziqi slept until very late in the evening before being shaken by Zhao Zhengan.


    "Eat something before going to bed."


    Zhong Ziqi yawned sleepily: "Hey, did you buy it again?"


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the noodles Zhao Zhengan was holding. It was the sour radish noodles he ate during the day, which was two days away from the inn.


    "Hmm... don''t you like to eat? It is rare that there is something you can eat. Naturally, I want to buy it back."


    When Zhao Zhengan went there in the afternoon, he found out that most of the people who went to the stall were Ah Ma. He only realized that the sour radish noodles are not eaten by ordinary people, and only those who are pregnant, or People who like to eat sour with a peculiar taste like it.


    Zhao Zhengan suddenly realized that why Zhong Ziqi suddenly had an appetite.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t expect Zhao Zhengan to go so far to buy. He said distressedly: "Don''t buy anymore. It''s too far. It doesn''t matter if I don''t eat."


    Zhao Zhengan smiled: "No, I bought sour radish for you, don''t you like to eat sour? Now let you eat enough."


    After listening to the stall owner, Zhao Zhengan knew that people who were pregnant had a unique taste and liked to eat sour food. He specially followed the stall owner to his house and bought a small jar of sour radish. How could it be enough for them to go home? There are also radishes, and there will be no time to make them.


    "Thanks for your hard work." Zhong Ziqi said moved.


    "It''s not hard, I''m happy," Zhao Zhengan said with a smile on his mouth.


    ...


    Five days passed quickly.


    On the last day, the genius doctor pulled out the needle and wiped his hands and said, "You can go back. The medicine I prescribed must be used every day, don''t miss it."


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi nodded to show that they remembered.


    "And you, your body is a little weak, usually don''t be too tired, take seven days of medicine according to the prescription I prescribe. Usually eat more good things to make up." The genius said to Zhong Ziqi.


    "...Thank you, the younger generation remembered." Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan saluted.


    "It''s all right, take the medicine for both of you and go, come see me again if you have anything to do." The genius doctor waved his hand and said.


    After leaving the hospital, Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan, both of whom were carrying medicine: "Do you mean that the genius doctor means that he will settle here and he will not leave?"


    "Well, since he said that, that should be what he meant."


    "Although the journey is a bit farther, I feel at ease knowing that the genius doctor is here, and I will come to him if I have an intractable disease in the future."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "Yes."


    "How are you? Have you gotten better these days?" Zhong Ziqi asked tirelessly.


    "Don''t say it, it seems that it doesn''t hurt so much, and it doesn''t seem to happen so frequently."


    Zhao Zhengan said that he has been wandering around Zhong Ziqi these days without paying attention.


    "That''s a good thing, just wait a month for you to be completely healed."


    Zhong Ziqi said happily that he had never denied what the genius doctor said. Since the genius doctor said one month, then one month would definitely be better.


    Because they planned to go back earlier, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi went to the car dealer to book a carriage, buy some food by the way, and slow down, and the time is not too early.


    "Huh? Do you think that person is a genius doctor?"


    Zhong Ziqi suddenly caught a glimpse of two people standing in a corner. The two were very close, and the genius doctor''s face rarely appeared flattering.


    And the person on the opposite side, Zhong Ziqi took advantage of the gap between the two of you to pull me to see that he was about 30 years old, not so beautiful, but he was brave and heroic.


    "Let''s go, don''t look." Zhao Zhengan pulled him forward.


    "People in this corner definitely don''t want to be disturbed. You are so blatant and careful to offend the genius doctor."


    "Do you say that the genius doctor has some ulterior relationship with that person? Or do you mean that the genius doctor stayed for him?" Zhong Ziqi said thoughtfully.


    "Perhaps, I heard that the genius doctor did not marry a wife and have children. So far, he may have not met the right one." Zhao Zhengan said.


    "Everyone has his own happiness. The genius doctor should have found his happiness too." That''s why he stopped in this ordinary town and stopped his wandering pace.


    "Perhaps."

 Chapter 70: Huiqingshuizhen

    On the way back, because Zhong Ziqi''s body was taken into consideration, the speed of rushing was a lot slower. Even if Zhong Ziqi repeatedly stated that there was no discomfort to speed up, Zhao Zhengan still did his own way and asked the driver to slow down.


    Fortunately, they all have a resting post or farmhouse along the way, otherwise Zhao Zhengan will have to stop medicine.


    In this way, the two of them slugged all the way. When they returned to Qingshui Town, there were only ten rooms less than ten days before the New Year. At this time, Qingshui Town was full of New Year''s joy, and the whole place was red. There are red window grilles, red couplets, red lanterns, and red firecrackers...


    Everyone''s face also carries the yearning for the new year.


    Holding things in one hand, Zhao Zhengan walked slowly to the mansion yard with Zhong Ziqi in the other. They hadn''t been there for nearly a month. They were really worried. They wanted to see if Wang Jicheng stabbed Louzi.


    Because it was past noon, the business of the workshop was gradually deserted. It was not as busy as the morning, but there were also a few coachmen waiting in twos and threes, and some of them were even quite face-to-face. I saw Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan. He obviously didn''t know him, and thought he was the same person who came to buy fried dough sticks.


    Until someone else acquainted with Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi said hello: "Zhao Xiaozi, where have you been with your husband? Are you finally willing to come back?"


    Zhao Zhengan laughed when he heard the words: "The kid went out to do some important things, I wonder if the housekeeper is not entertained?"


    The man immediately shook his head when he heard the words: "No, no, Wang is in charge. Although it looked scary at first, he is actually very enthusiastic and helped us a lot."


    "That''s good, I''m afraid there is something wrong with him."


    Zhao Zhengan smiled and talked to them for a while before entering the workshop.


    "Who is that?"


    After Zhao Zhengan left, someone came to ask.


    The person who was talking to Zhao Zhengan glanced at him and shook his head: "I don''t have any eyesight, the twisted fritters you bought belong to others, the boss here."


    "Ah! They are. I have only heard that the boss is very young. How young is this? He is not as old as I am!"


    The person looked frightened. He himself was not very old. He was only about 20 years old. He was an apprentice in a restaurant in other towns. He was sent here to pick up the goods not long ago. When I got to the boss, I heard that the boss was away. He was kind of regretful. He didn''t expect to see him suddenly today. Seeing that they were young and dressed a little down, he almost offended him because he didn¡¯t know Taishan. I was in a cold sweat, and I couldn''t judge a person by his appearance, almost something went wrong.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi entered the courtyard and found that everything was the same as when they had just left, and they were well organized. The busy people in the room may be too hot and opened the door a gap, and you can see the figures going back and forth inside from a distance.


    "Master, are you back?" As soon as Wang Jicheng walked out, he saw two people standing in the yard. It was not the others but the two masters he had been thinking about not long ago. He couldn''t help stepping forward happily.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at him and smiled: "Uncle Cheng, I''m not here during this time, nothing happened, right?"


    Because Wang Jicheng was much older than the two of them, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan discussed calling him an uncle, and neither of them really treated him as a subordinate, as long as he was loyal and he was their family.


    Wang Jicheng took the things in Zhao Zhengan''s hand with a silly smile: "It''s all okay, nothing happened, that is, a few restaurants that were not registered in the past came to us to supply goods. If the two young masters are not there, I will make the decision privately Up."


    Wang Jicheng said cautiously, for fear that the two young masters would blame him for making their own decisions. He had heard that all the masters did not like to let others call the shots without authorization.


    Zhao Zhengan waved his hand after hearing the words: "It''s okay, as long as there are no leaks."


    Wang Jicheng breathed a sigh of relief, scratched the back of his head, and looked at Zhong Ziqi, who was supported by Zhao Zhengan, and asked worriedly: "Is Master Qi sick? Is he catching a cold?"


    "Uncle Cheng, I''m fine." Zhong Ziqi said.


    "Then what are you guys?"


    Zhao Zhengan said with a beaming look: "My husband is happy, so I have to hold on a little bit carefully so as not to be bumped."


    Zhong Ziqi rolled her eyes silently.


    Zhao Zhengan''s voice was not low, just because the people in the room heard him clearly, Zhao Xuemei suddenly pointed out: "Huh? Brother Qi is happy? Then come in soon! How cold outside is."


    "Now go in!"


    Just as soon as he entered, the greasy smell in the room immediately made Zhong Ziqi nauseous: "Oh..."


    Zhong Ziqi covered her mouth and ran out, vomiting faintly.


    Zhao Zhengan was taken aback, and hurriedly followed the past and asked anxiously: "What''s wrong with this? How come you vomit like this? Where is it uncomfortable, let''s go see the doctor."


    In the room, Zhao Xuemei, Liu Meifeng, and Qian Ling all had children and they couldn''t help covering their mouths and laughing: "See the doctor, all pregnant people are like this."


    "Ah? It''s all like this?" Zhao Zhengan was dumbfounded.


    Zhao Xuemei said: "Let me ask you, he didn''t have this symptom before, right?"


    "No, it''s been fine."


    "Then you will be able to wait for you this time. He has just started and it will take a long time to get better."


    "Can it be cured?" Zhao Zhengan asked stupidly.


    "This is a natural reaction, what cure!" Zhong Ziqi pushed him a little behind, and said angrily.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at the people around him watching him as they watched the jokes, and touched his nose embarrassedly. When everyone was going away and doing their jobs, Zhao Jiang came over and patted Zhao Zhengan''s shoulder comfortingly: "Yes. I was like this when my family was pregnant, Meifeng, my eyes were black and I didn''t know that I was scared enough, or I, Eminem, told me that I knew it, otherwise I thought I had something wrong!


    "Then what did your Meifeng like to eat back then?"


    "I''m still eating. Basically, I vomit when I eat, and I vomit when I smell it." Zhao Jiang also had lingering fears when he remembered that time.


    "Then what should I do, I can''t stop eating, the doctor said that I have to make more supplements at ordinary times." Zhao Zhengan said anxiously.


    "It''s inevitable to vomit. Listen to my Eminem. You still have to eat. Some will stay in your stomach. And Meifeng was especially happy to eat sour ones. Don''t be too greasy and jealous when cooking. I can eat it too."


    "Our family Ziqi is also willing to eat sour. I specially bought him a jar of sour radish."


    "Hey...slowly you''ll understand." Zhao Jiang said, too, who was degenerate from the end of the world.


    Zhao Zhengan nodded his head taught.


    Zhong Ziqi leaned at the door and watched the two men whispering and didn''t know what they were talking about. He looked like he was concerned, and he rubbed his hands in a cold war.


    "During this period, has there been anything I don''t know about happened?" Zhao Zhengan asked Zhao Jiang again.


    Zhao Jiang thought for a while and shook his head: "That''s not true. Everything is normal. By the way, Wang Susu got married not long ago, and he came over and wanted you to participate. I said you were away and he left."


    "Oh... don''t worry about him, since there is nothing wrong, then my husband and I will go back first." Zhao Zhengan said.


    "Go back, uncle Cheng and I are watching here."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "We will have a vacation after waiting for two days, and I will pay you all the wages."


    Zhao Jiang: "Okay, just do what you say." They are all brothers who have been playing since childhood, and it is impossible to lie to them.


    Zhao Zhengan greeted Wang Jicheng and the others again before leaving.


    "It''s quite delicious to go, and talk to Zhao Ama." Zhong Ziqi said: "Zhao Ama from the province doesn''t know, and he has to run around in a hurry."


    "Okay, then let''s go."


    In the afternoon, the number of passengers who are quite delicious has always been much less than in the morning, so when Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan came over, Zhao Ama was sitting at the table and chatting.


    "Ziqi, you are back!" Zhao Ning happily ran over to greet her.


    "When did you come back?" Zhao Ama also asked.


    "We just came back not long ago, so we went to the compound to take a look." Zhong Ziqi smiled and sat down.


    "It''s pretty good along the way? Have you found a genius doctor?" Huang Ama asked happily.


    "Very good, we have found a genius doctor, and the genius doctor prescribes the medicine, and it will get better after only one month."


    "That''s good, that''s good."


    Everyone nodded, they all knew that Zhao Zhengan had a headache, and now it is a happy event that it is expected to be cured.


    "Ziqi, didn''t you say you want to come back and give my brother the head before my brother gets married?" Zhao Ning pouted and pulled Zhong Ziqi''s arm: "You are back several days late, my brother''s marriage is over. "


    Zhong Ziqi touched her nose and looked at Zhao Zhengan. They both forgot about it.


    "Where''s Brother Sheng?" Zhong Ziqi asked suspiciously. It was delicious and didn''t see Zhao Sheng and his husband.


    "My brother went home with my brother."


    Zhao Ning looked at the two uncomfortable expressions and asked silently: Did you forget? "


    Zhao Zhengan coughed: "It was not intentional, mainly because Ziqi''s bones shouldn''t be too tired and bumpy, so we delayed for many days when we came back."


    "What do you mean? What''s wrong with Brother Qi?" Zhao Lan, who had been silent for a long time, also asked.


    Zhao Zhengan said happily: "The genius doctor said that Ziqi is happy, and I am going to be a father."


    "Ah! Really!" Zhao Ning exclaimed, glanced at Zhong Ziqi''s stomach, and reached out to touch it.


    "Then the relationship is over, your family is also considered double happiness." Zhao Ama said with a smile, and was also happy for them both.


    "This year has been a good year, all the good things have been saved, and next year will definitely go smoothly." Uncle Huang shook his head and said, shaking his head.


    "Yes, it will go smoothly."


    Everyone agrees that for the new year, everyone hopes to have a good start, to imply that everything goes well in the future.


    Since it was quite delicious, Zhong Ziqi said to Zhao Zhengan: "Buy a gift for a brother Sheng, and make up for the newly-married gift."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "Leave this to me, I know how to do it, you don''t have to worry about anything, just rest at home with peace of mind."


    "Know it¡­¡­"

 Chapter 71: Take a break

    In the days that followed, as Zhao Xuemei and the others said, Zhong Ziqi was just beginning, and Zhao Zhengan''s hair was almost white in the past few days. Zhong Ziqi can no longer go into the kitchen to cook and cook, because he will vomit when he smells the oily smoke.


    There are only two people in their family, Zhong Ziqi has gone on strike, but Zhao Zhengan has no choice but to wash his hands and make soup, but he hasn''t done anything except cooking porridge, and the things he makes are super unpalatable.


    Zhao Zhengan felt so bitter in his heart. Every day I can only drink white porridge for Zhong Ziqi, and then enter the town to let Zhao Xuemei and others help make something delicious. However, Yuanshui couldn''t quench his thirst. Zhao Zhengan could only practice cooking at home for the past two days.


    And Zhong Ziqi would sit in a thick layer at the kitchen door and tell him which to put first, which one to put, how much salt to disperse, and how much water to put.


    After repeated attempts of not being salty or weak, Zhao Zhengan finally became a teacher. The basis of his teaching is that he can complete a dish by himself without putting the wrong seasonings. Although the taste is average, Zhao Zhengan is already quite satisfied.


    After careful consideration, he has mastered the basic sequence of cooking and putting seasonings. As long as you don''t put too much, the taste is still okay, and it''s always down to the mouth.


    Every time Zhong Ziqi looked at his hard work, he was very moved. At the same time, he would always endure the nausea and eat two more mouthfuls. He couldn''t waste his mind, but in the end he vomited it to no avail.


    Zhao Zhengan felt distressed. Looking at his sickly face, he was helpless. He knew he liked to eat sour sour. The pickled sauerkraut in the autumn at home was already edible, so he changed it. Give him food, of course I will preview before making it...


    Seeing that the time has passed day by day, as early as when Zhao Zhengan and the others came back, they discussed with Zhao Ama and the others, and posted a notice outside the door saying that someday, they would close the door and go home for the New Year. If you like to eat You can buy more twisted fried dough sticks, and you can keep them left and right. When you save time, you want to eat them but you can''t buy them.


    When other people heard it, they all immediately gave up. Especially when they heard that the Chinese New Year was approaching, there was a discount on the very delicious fried dough sticks. You can get one or two more for the number of sticks you buy, which provokes a lot of people to buy them.


    In this way, it was very delicious when the New Year was approaching. There was a small peak in the courtyard. When everyone bought it, they bought a dozen or dozens of them. After the New Year, everyone wants to indulge and have a good time. In a good year, even if the family is poor, I don¡¯t want to be deserted during the New Year. The sign is not good. The more bustling, the more prosperous the coming year.


    Until three days before the New Year, it was quite delicious and officially closed, and the courtyard here was also closed. Zhao Zhengan entered the town and paid the three of Zhao Xuemei, as well as Zhao Jiang and Zhao Lan¡¯s wages. Zhao Xuemei and his staff were happy to spend nearly three hundred yuan in wages, especially Zhao Xuemei, he and Zhao Jiang both received their wages, although Zhao Jiang was half less than him, but it was enough for them to buy new year goods and still have a surplus. Up.


    If you are happy, Zhao Lan is also considered one. He is the only one in his family. Apart from buying some simple necessities for the New Year, he doesn¡¯t need much at all. He can save it for a long time. For the first time he is so grateful to someone in his heart. Everyone says that he has strong self-esteem, but he also wants to bend for life. He just disdains those people''s pretentious charity. He needs a reward that allows him to make his own efforts in exchange for equivalent. And Zhong Ziqi just gave him what he wanted, and he was very grateful to him.


    Because they said hello in advance, the restaurants who came to pick up the goods were notified that they had taken away a large number of twisted dough sticks the day before, and they officially started their holiday today.


    Zhao Zhengan watched Zhao Xuemei and the others leave in twos and threes. Only Wang Jicheng was left alone. He looked so pitiful to be alone. Zhao Zhengan thought for a while and said, "Uncle Cheng, you come home with me for the New Year."


    "Master, do not, I''ll be fine here, you and Master Qi are the first New Year, it is inappropriate for me." Wang Jicheng said busy, he also heard that this year is the first since the two young masters got married. In this new year, he said nothing to disturb the two-person world of the two. Besides, his new year was not unseasoned, and he didn''t feel much about it.


    Zhao Zhengan originally wanted to say that it¡¯s okay, but suddenly he realized that living at home is really inconvenient, so he nodded and agreed: ¡°That¡¯s OK, Uncle Cheng. Come and live with us."


    Moved, Wang Jicheng immediately saluted: "Master Xie."


    He has met a good person. He didn''t treat him as a slave, but treated him as a family member. He never looked down upon him. How could he meet such a good master?


    Zhao Zhengan gave Wang Jicheng semi-consecutive money, told him to buy whatever he wanted, and then walked away in the grateful eyes of Wang Jicheng.


    Zhao Zhengan did not go home directly after leaving the compound. Instead, he went to buy some New Year goods. His family bought some of them one after another in the past two days. Today he bought all the rest, just as Ershu Zhao also entered the city. , He went back with him and took a ride.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi are also celebrities in Qingshui Town. There are very few people who don¡¯t know or don¡¯t know. The prices were relatively high a year ago. When Zhao Zhengan went to buy new year goods, the boss would look down on his face. They are also quite delicious regulars, and the relationship still needs to be closer.


    Zhao Zhengan first went to the seafood store, bought several fish, and bought a lot of other products. By the way, he bought a few couplets, and bought some messy pastries, candle paper money and other things, and then he Went to the shop selling fruit.


    This shop can also be regarded as a wonderful flower in Qingshui Town. It belongs to a high-end place. It sells fruits in it. What is surprising is that there are many fruits that are rarely seen in the north. Natural prices are also unaffordable by ordinary people, but the owner of the shop mainly provides for the wealthy families, such as the county grandfather, such as a certain employee, a certain landlord, a certain shop owner, etc., these people will not care. These little money.


    Zhao Zhengan also heard from others that, in order to maintain the supply and marketing of the fruit, the owner of this store set up a team to go to the south to buy it, and then use various unknown methods to transport it back in perfect condition.


    Zhao Zhengan entered the shop. There were no other people in it. There were only baskets of colors and different sizes of fruits on display, which seemed very deserted.


    The shop owner who was doing the calculation obviously knew Zhao Zhengan as well. He walked out from behind the counter and smiled and handed over: "So boss Zhao, rare customers and rare customers, I don¡¯t know what you want to buy?" Although Zhao Zhengan is young, no one will take it lightly. He, especially the Jinhua restaurant behind him, supported him.


    Zhao Zhengan bowed his hand in reply and asked: "The kid came here today to buy fruit. Who doesn''t know that your fruit is the freshest and the best."


    The shop owner nodded his head when he heard the words. He is still very satisfied. Looking at the nearby towns, only his store has the most delicious fruit. Not only people in Qingshui Town, but also big families in other towns will not. It''s too long to come to him to buy it.


    Zhao Zhengan walked around the shop. He was dazzled by the variety of fruits. He didn''t know which one was delicious. He simply picked a few fruits that he usually saw, and then asked as if thinking of something. Shop owner: "Do you have any fruits here that taste particularly sour?"


    The shop owner smiled upon hearing the words: "Coincidentally, a kind of fruit has just been shipped in recently, and it tastes very sour. I''m worried that I can''t sell it. Look, it''s the little red fruit next to your hand."


    The shop owner pointed his finger next to Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan followed his direction and looked at the little red fruit. It was not as big as a walnut. He looked left and then looked at the wild fruit in the mountains. He picked it up and took a bite. It was originally open. My eyes narrowed into gaps and my face wrinkled...it was too sour, more sour than their family''s vinegar.


    Zhao Zhengan''s sour teeth trembled, and quickly put down the fruit in his hand: "Just this, weigh me a few more pounds." Although the sourness was scary, he believed that Ziqi would like to eat it.


    Sure enough, when Zhao Zhengan handed the fruit to Zhong Ziqi''s eyes, Zhong Ziqi''s eyes lit up.


    Zhong Ziqi looked at the fruit Zhao Zhengan handed over with piercing energy. Hearing how sour Zhao Zhengan said, he took the fruit in his hand and looked at it carefully. At first he thought it was sour haw, but when he looked closely, it was not. Sour haw, his surface is much smoother than sour haw, Zhong Ziqi took a bite carefully, there is more water in it than sour haw, and it is really sour, he said he likes it very much.


    Zhao Zhengan was also happy to see that he liked him: "I packed some food in the restaurant, and I came back a bit late today. I''ll warm it up for you."


    "Don''t bother, I have already heated the porridge and drank it." Zhong Ziqi said while eating.


    Zhao Zhengan''s teeth were sour unconsciously: "I''m hot, you have another bite. There are sour bamboo shoots and sweet and sour fish in it. You taste it all sour."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded hesitantly: "Okay, let''s take a bite." For the sake of getting it back so hard.


    "it is good."


    Zhao Zhengan organized the things he bought and went to the kitchen to heat up food.


    Although the food was sour, Zhong Ziqi just barely took a few bites and couldn''t eat it anymore. Zhao Zhengan was used to it. He also took the food after one bite.


    "All the wages are paid?" Zhong Ziqi asked.


    "Well, it''s all opened. According to what you said, it was agreed to open the door on the eighth day of the eighth day. Originally, I wanted Uncle Cheng to come and spend the New Year with us. He is quite deserted by himself, but there is no place for him to live in our house. I can''t share a room with us, so I think about it and forget it." Zhao Zhengan said.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Let''s talk about it next year. Didn''t you say you want to build a house in the spring? Let''s build a few more rooms, and people will be able to live there in the future."


    "Well, I think so too."


    When the time comes, people will come from the Shen family. They can''t live in this small place at all, and they must be expanded.

 Chapter 72: New Years Eve

    On the New Year¡¯s Eve, before the sky was up, the sound of firecrackers sounded outside, making Zhong Ziqi so irritable that she could not fall asleep over and over again.


    Zhao Zhengan had no choice but to reassure him: "It''s fine for a while, just for a while."


    Zhong Ziqi may have a bad appetite these days, and his temper has become a bit irritable, but he can restrain himself from venting his emotions to Zhao Zhengan. He understands in his heart that he is not well, how can Zhao Zhengan be better?


    He did all the work of washing, cooking, and cleaning up the room every day. Although he felt that there would be no problem in taking over, he couldn''t stand Zhao Zhengan''s surprise. For fear of how he might look like it, Zhong Ziqi was speechless and let him go. To toss, the key is that Zhao Zhengan has to go to town to do business affairs after tossing at home. Zhong Ziqi discovered that Zhao Zhengan has actually lost a lot of weight, but he has strong muscles all over his body, so the feeling is not obvious, but He is the person next to his pillow, the person who knows him best, how can he not feel it, so it is impossible for him to do such unreasonable things.


    After a while, the sound of firecrackers outside really went out, Zhong Ziqi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhao Zhengan lay down again to sleep.


    When it first broke, there was another sound of firecrackers, and Zhong Ziqi was speechless, and simply planned to bed with Zhao Zhengan.


    "You are lying down for a while, and you will get up again when I prepare the food." Zhao Zhengan said softly, and then got up to go to bed with clothes.


    "I''ll get up too, I can''t sleep either."


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head while fastening the buttons: "Cold, wait until I warm up the room and you will get up again."


    After a night, the temperature in the room had already dropped, and people shivered from the cold. If possible, no one wanted to leave the warm bed.


    "okay then."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded, he couldn''t do anything when he got up, so let''s continue lying down, Zhong Ziqi thought lazily.


    Zhao Zhengan got dressed and went out. The cold temperature forced him to shiver. He walked hurriedly all the way into the kitchen. Today is New Year¡¯s Eve and is going to eat four meals, so this morning meal can be improvised. .


    Zhao Zhengan turned on the stove, heated a pot of hot water and washed his face before starting to cook. In the morning, he didn''t have any appetite. After thinking about it, Zhao Zhengan made a pot of gruel and put a few eggs to cook together.


    When the meal was finished, Zhao Zhengan went to ask Zhong Ziqi to get up. Zhong Ziqi stretched out to wash, deeply felt that this kind of rice worm''s life would make people more and more lazy.


    After eating, Zhao Zhengan began to get busy. He first made a pot of paste, took out the couplets, door gods, and window grilles he bought. Zhong Ziqi was responsible for brushing the paste, and Zhao Zhengan was responsible for putting the couplets together.


    There are also two big red lanterns. Their family lives in this remote place, there is no light around, and it looks dead and silent, so he bought two lanterns.


    "Hey, point to the left... and point to the right..." Zhong Ziqi directed Zhao Zhengan to hang the lantern.


    "Alright?" Zhao Zhengan asked, standing on the stool.


    "Go up a little bit."


    Zhao Zhengan moved up according to words. "How''s it going?"


    Zhong Ziqi looked and nodded: "Okay, hang it up."


    Zhao Zhengan immediately hung up the lantern when he heard the words, then stepped down from the stool, and stood beside Zhong Ziqi and nodded: "Yes, it''s pretty." With the door **** and couplet on the door, he was full of joy.


    "Okay, let''s go in, don''t freeze." Zhao Zhengan touched Zhong Ziqi''s cold hand. Pull it back into the house quickly.


    "I''m going to cook lunch. You can sit here and eat sunflower seeds."


    Zhong Ziqi sat on the kang rather uneasy and said, "I''ll do it with you. You haven''t cooked so many dishes, and you can''t be too busy."


    Zhao Zhengan waved his hand: "No, didn''t you tell me the steps yesterday, if I don''t, I will ask you again, you don''t need to go out."


    Zhong Ziqi: "Is it really possible?"


    "Really, don''t worry." Zhao Zhengan finished his guarantee in front of Zhong Ziqi, and started to play drums when he went out. After all, the dishes he cooked are different from the ones he practiced a few days ago. They are all complicated dishes, such as stewed ribs and stewed fish. Stewed chicken, other small stir-fries, soup dishes, he is really not so confident that he can do it well.


    Zhong Ziqi sat on the kang and knocked the seeds absently, listening to the sound of cutting vegetables and meat from time to time in the kitchen. After a while, he still got down to the ground and walked slowly towards the kitchen.


    There was too much fumes in the kitchen, so there was a slap-sized gap. Zhong Ziqi walked over and saw Zhao Zhengan wearing an apron, stewing fish. After putting oil in the pot, maybe the water was not cleaned up, and the oil began to crackle. Splashing around, Zhao Zhengan put the fish in the pot. With a sound of "stabbing", a burst of oily fume burst out of the pot, Zhao Zhengan jumped far away immediately, waited until the oily fume dissipated and ran to the side of the pot to continue frying the fish, occasionally being splashed by the oil, he would grin and grin. , I think the way he cooks is more interesting than watching TV, but when the taste gradually spreads out, Zhong Ziqi has to leave the kitchen regretfully.


    Zhao Zhengan spent the morning in the kitchen, and occasionally ran over to ask Zhong Ziqi when he was in doubt, and when he got the answer, he ran back to the kitchen to execute. After his own thinking and Zhong Ziqi''s guidance, he finally reluctantly at noon. Finished all the meals.


    Zhao Zhengan put them into the house one end: "Wait a while, I''ll put some firecrackers, let''s eat again."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded.


    "Cover your ears, don''t be surprised." Zhao Zhengan walked out after speaking.


    Zhong Ziqi covered her ears and soon heard a "boom".


    Zhao Zhengan put two and entered the house, took off his shoes and crossed his legs on the kang: "Eat."


    Zhong Ziqi took the chopsticks and looked at the ugly dishes on the table. He really didn''t have any appetite. He didn''t dislike Zhao Zhengan''s bad cooking. On the contrary, if it was before, he would eat immediately without saying anything. The key is now that he doesn''t eat. After smelling the smell, I feel my stomach is surging.


    Zhao Zhengan knows that he is uncomfortable: "New Year, you eat less, as a celebration. I put a lot of vinegar on this fish, and this sauerkraut. I didn¡¯t put much oil on it. It¡¯s not greasy at all. Try it, if it¡¯s true. If you can¡¯t eat it, drink porridge."


    Zhong Ziqi gave a hum, took a bite of fish with his chopsticks, and as Zhao Zhengan said, he put a lot of vinegar and a lot of sugar. It tasted sweet and sour.


    "How is it?" Zhao Zhengan asked expectantly.


    "Not bad." Zhong Ziqi said without conscience.


    Zhao Zhengan nodded happily and started to eat. He usually doesn''t move those vegetables with a lot of vinegar. He really can''t eat the sour, so he doesn''t know how much water Zhong Ziqi said is good.


    After dinner, it¡¯s customary to make dumplings. On New Year¡¯s Day, it¡¯s a busy day, and I¡¯ve been busy eating all day.


    The dumpling filling is mixed by Zhong Ziqi, and the noodles are also mixed by Zhong Ziqi. The two of them were sitting on the hot kang, listening to the crackling firecrackers outside, chatting and making dumplings.


    After making the dumplings, Zhao Zhengan asked Zhong Ziqi to wait for him at home, and he went out to the grave to invite ancestors.


    Zhong Ziqi can''t help feeling that some customs are unavoidable whether they are modern or ancient.


    Zhao Zhengan didn¡¯t come back for a long time. Zhong Ziqi watched that it was getting dark, so she went into the kitchen and started boiling the dumplings. By the way, he heated up the fish left over at noon. Fish is indispensable for the Thirty Eve of the New Year. More than every year.


    Zhong Ziqi heated up some other dishes, and sat at home waiting for Zhao Zhengan.


    When Zhao Zhengan came back, it was completely dark. He didn''t rush into the house when he came back. Instead, he lit the two big lanterns at the door and watched them glow red before entering the house.


    "Why is it so late? I thought what was wrong with you!" Zhong Ziqi said with a sigh of relief.


    Zhao Zhengan sat next to the brazier on the kang and baked his red hands and said, "It''s nothing, but I met the clan elders and they said a few words, and I went to the graves of A-Daddy and A-mu again. before."


    Zhong Ziqi was startled when he heard the words, and tunnel nodded. Zhao Zhengan was also interested, he didn''t expect it.


    "Okay, let''s eat." Zhao Zhengan said.


    "Yeah." Zhong Ziqi replied, opening the plate holding the vegetables and dumplings. Eat with Zhao Zhengan.


    After that, I was idle, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan sat on the kang boringly and whispered.


    "I heard that on the night of the New Year¡¯s Eve, the rich man in the town will hire some jugglers to perform on stage. Ordinary people can go and watch it. However, we are too far away from the town. It is inconvenient to have no carriage. If the conditions are met, let''s go and have a look." Zhao Zhengan said with his arms around Zhong Ziqi.


    "Okay, I just haven''t seen it yet." Zhong Ziqi was a little curious. There was too little entertainment in ancient times, which made him wonder at everything.


    "The 15th temple fair is also very lively. I have seen it once. Men, women and children in the town came out to watch the lanterns and play, so it was so lively." Zhao Zhengan vividly described to Zhong Ziqi the scenes he had seen.


    Zhong Ziqi was tempted by what he said, how lively it is that ancient temple fairs are always played in TV dramas, he has actually been fascinated for a long time, but Zhong Ziqi has to wither when he thinks of his current body.


    The two sat on the kang and held on until midnight, Zhao Zhengan went out to set off a string of firecrackers, and then entered the house grinning: "Daughter-in-law, happy new year."


    Zhong Ziqi also smiled happily: "Happy New Year." This is his first New Year in this world, and he will never forget it.


    The two of them ate their last meal and couldn''t hold back lying down to sleep anymore.

 Chapter 73: Stop by

    On the first day of the new year, the atmosphere is a bit weaker than that on the 30th day of the new year, but the joy is still unabated.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi''s breakfast is naturally dumplings. The dumpling filling is pure sauerkraut filling. When Zhong Ziqi eats it, Zhao Zhengan is not disgusted with eating sauerkraut dumplings, which are delicious.


    After eating, Zhao Zhengan cleaned up the inside and outside of the house. Seeing that Zhong Ziqi was bored, he proposed to take a stroll at Zhao A''ma''s house. Zhong Ziqi naturally agreed, and he was almost suffocated.


    Zhao Zhengan wrapped Zhong Ziqi thickly, and the two of them went to Zhao A¡¯e¡¯s family to stop by. Four or five members of Zhao¡¯s family were sitting on the kang while eating delicious food and talking.


    "Ziqi, you two are here, it''s hot on the kang." Zhao Amo got up and greeted the two of them.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and sat on the kang: "Didn''t Brother Sheng and Brother Ning say they want to go back there last time?"


    An Ning smiled shyly at him.


    "This is not what my in-laws said. Don''t toss the two children back and forth for those who are in the New Year. It''s the same if you go to the third and fourth grades." Zhao Aame replied. Get married, and hope that they will spend a reunion year at home.


    "It''s the same reason." Zhong Ziqi nodded.


    "How are you these days? Are your bones better? Are you vomiting a lot?" Zhao Ama asked concerned.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Very good."


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head next to him: "Why, vomit every day, vomit what you eat, what is the most nutritious, he can eat anything."


    Zhao Ama smiled and said: "We are all here. Let him eat whatever he can, don''t be hungry. When I gave birth to our family Zhao Sheng, it was a split, and the family was extremely poor, and there was nothing. If you want to eat some meat, you have to tighten your waistband. At that time, I also like to eat sour. I can eat rice with vinegar, except for rice porridge, which is pickles every day. Then look at us. Zhao Sheng is also very strong, nothing happened."


    An Ning listened to Eminem talking about her husband, and couldn''t help poking him quietly. Zhao Sheng moved and gave him a silly smile.


    Zhong Ziqi touched her stomach: "I don''t think it''s a big problem. It''s good to eat porridge and pickles."


    Zhao Zhengan disagreed: "The genius doctor told me that he is weak now, and he needs to make up for it at ordinary times, otherwise his body will be burned down in the future."


    "That has to be supplemented. When the body is empty and giving birth to a child, it will be sad, and it will be weak."


    Zhao Ama gave birth to two children, and knows the pain of having a child best. If his body is weak, he will have no strength, and the child will be unable to get out of the stomach. If it takes a long time, it will be dangerous.


    Zhong Ziqi is a person who is afraid of pain. You can tell from the hesitation not having **** with Zhao Zhengan before. So at this time, listening to Zhao Ama¡¯s horror, thinking about the heart-piercing scenes seen on TV in the past life, in my heart Can''t help but tremble a little.


    "Ziqi, Ziqi? What are you thinking about?" Zhao Ning patted Zhong Ziqi on the shoulder, seeing him with a blank expression on his face.


    Zhong Ziqi recovered: "Ah... I didn''t think about anything."


    "By the way, Brother Sheng, we are all married, so are you soon." Zhong Ziqi asked with a smirk.


    Zhao Ning blushed suddenly when he heard the words. Zhong Ziqi looked curiously. If according to the past, Zhao Ning would definitely open his mouth to argue with him. How did he squeeze it right now? Did something happen that he didn''t know?


    "Zhao A, did you and Uncle Baogen look for someone for Zhao Ning?" Zhong Ziqi asked, trying to find out what they said.


    Zhao Ama smiled and said, "It was too late, but I have a suitable candidate in my heart, but I don''t know if they are happy or not."


    Zhao Zhengan suddenly asked behind Zhong Ziqi, "Is it Brother Lei?"


    Zhao Ama didn¡¯t hide it and nodded. The people here and there are trustworthy members of his family, and he won¡¯t go out and say, "I like this kid very much. Knowing the roots and knowing the bottom of the earth is practical, you say that Xiao Ning will definitely not suffer much after marrying, right?"


    Zhong Ziqi was not surprised when Huang Ah said this. He also felt that the two families got married well. The male unmarried brothers were not married. They stood together and matched: "Then Zhao Ah, did you talk to Huang Ah?"


    Zhao Ama glanced at Zhao Baogen next to him and shook his head: "It''s not that I don''t know if that kid likes our family Zhao Ning, does he have anything good when he is outside for three or four years? Isn''t it."


    Zhong Ziqi was a little bit dumbfounded when he heard the words: "What is good, brother Lei is in the barracks, where can I see my brother in the barracks, they are hard to reach, let alone good, it is really there. Brother Lei had already brought it back long before he came back. Even if something is delayed, he will definitely talk to Huang Ama and the others. You and Huang Ama are always together during this period. Have you ever heard Huang Ama mentioned it?"


    Zhao Ama shook his head quickly: "I haven''t heard of it, but after what you said, I really feel relieved. When the Chinese New Year is over, I will talk to you Huang Ama when I find time to see what he thinks. of."


    Zhong Ziqi glanced at Zhao Ning, who had been blushing, and squeezed his face: "Look at this flower-like jade painting of our Xiao Ning, Xiao Jia Biyu, I see a pitiful appearance, who would look down on it, then He was blind on time."


    Zhao Ning immediately rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and patted Zhong Ziqi''s confused hand: "Can you speak well, what kind of flower, jade."


    An Ning covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Qi is complimenting you for your good looks."


    Zhao Ning said angrily: "What he said must not be heard literally, it is all nonsense." Every time he can play around.


    Zhong Ziqi was overwhelmed: "Since you don''t like to listen to these words, let me change my explanation. You see Huang Ama likes you so much at ordinary times, and I definitely agree with you and Lei brother''s marriage. You don''t have to worry about not getting married."


    Zhao Ning immediately exploded. If Zhong Ziqi was pregnant now, he would have rushed forward: "You wait, wait for you to give birth to the baby, and see if I don''t deal with you ruthlessly."


    "Oh, then I can expect the baby to stay in my stomach for a few more days, so as not to be abused by you."


    Zhao Ning snorted with his nose upside down, indicating that he was not familiar with him. Several people around were laughing as they watched the two arguing.


    The first day of the new year is over, and the second day of the new year is the time to visit relatives and neighbors to pay a New Year''s greetings. Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi have no relatives except for their parents and uncles.


    At the Zhong family''s side, Zhong Ziqi didn''t plan to go there, and had nothing to do with them. As for Wang Cuihua and Zhao Cheng, Zhong Ziqi thought about it or let Zhao Zhengan go back, bring some cakes and fruits bought during the New Year, and throw them away. Just a few money is fine, of course not too much money, just a few dozen, lest Wang Cuihua and Zhao Chengtai take themselves seriously, if it weren¡¯t for the fact that they raised Zhao Zhengan, he would not let anything. Zhao Zhengan went.


    After that, Zhao Zhengan went to visit Lizheng and some of the elders who walked closer. Now Zhao Zhengan doesn¡¯t need to bow to those elders at all. With his current worth, the people in the village have already reached the point of looking up. But Zhao Zhengan still needs to have the etiquette that he should have. Their family will have to live in Zhaojia Village in the future. They can''t say anything to offend these clan elders. Everyone gets along with each other in a friendly manner. It''s easy to talk about anything in the future.


    Those clan elders looked at Zhao Zhengan¡¯s attitude and were very satisfied. This shows that Zhao Zhengan still respects them very much. Unlike some people who have money, they are arrogant and don¡¯t put anyone in their eyes. Zhao Zhengan treats them. Being kind, they are naturally kind to him.


    Lizheng¡¯s family visits the most during the New Year. People in the village will come to Lizheng¡¯s family to send some new year gifts to make a good impression. Because of the large number of people, Zhao Zhengan didn¡¯t stay there too much. A few words came out.


    Then there are Zhao Amo¡¯s family, Zhao Jiang¡¯s family, Zhao Hai¡¯s family, Zhao Ershu¡¯s family, and Zhao Lan¡¯s family. All of these Zhao Zhengan gave New Year gifts to varying degrees. Especially Zhao Lan¡¯s family was visited by Zhong Ziqi himself. Naturally, one of his elders would not be able to come. of. Then Huang Ah Mo Zhao Zhengan in the city also went to give gifts.


    There is also a family. This is what Zhao Zhengan remembered after listening to Zhong Ziqi¡¯s words. It was the uncle who sent him to the medical clinic when he was in danger. This uncle lives in a relatively remote place, far away from their Zhaojia Village, except At first he went to the door to thank him, but then he didn''t contact him again.


    The uncle''s surname was Zhou, and he was surprised to see him. Zhao Zhengan immediately explained his intentions: "It''s Chinese New Year, I''ll pay a New Year greeting to the two old men."


    Uncle Zhou''s family has a total of five people. The second elder only has one son. He married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a child. Now he will run all over the floor. The family are all honest people. When he saw Zhao Zhengan, he still had a bunch of things. Both were very uncomfortable. Uncle Zhou and Zhou Ama quickly rejected them. These things were very expensive at first glance. They had everything to eat and wear.


    Zhao Zhengan naturally refused: "This is a little bit of my heart. You must accept it. At that time, it is not certain whether I can survive if Uncle Zhou sent me to the hospital."


    "That''s a coincidence, someone else will definitely save you." Uncle Zhou said honestly.


    Zhao Zhengan said badly, and finally got Uncle Zhou and Zhou Ama to accept it. Zhao Zhengan also saw their formality, so he didn''t wait much, and went back after a few greetings.


    Time flies quickly, and soon the eighth day of the new year arrives. While others are still immersed in the joy of the New Year, the town''s compound will start again.


    Zhao Xuemei, Liu Meifeng and Qian Ling were ready. Zhong Ziqi didn''t let him go because of physical inconvenience. Zhao Zhengan asked him to stay at home and told him that he would be back at about noon.


    Zhao Ama and the others also opened the door today. They originally planned to do it after the fifteenth, but later thought it was too late. They could earn a lot on the fifteenth day alone, so they opened the door on the eighth day of the eighth day.


    Because all the restaurants have said hello, so on the eighth day of the eighth day, the restaurants all sent people over to solicit goods.

 Chapter 74: Lalang match

    After the opening on the eighth day of the eighth day, the number of people who came to eat delicious food increased day by day. After the New Year, everyone basically returned to their original state.


    The fifteenth day is the busiest time in the town. Fortunately during the day, the flow of people is not obvious.


    In the evening, as Zhao Zhengan said, the whole town was mobilized, and the whole town was brightly lit and bustling with noise. People came and went in the street, rubbing shoulders.


    When Zhao Ama saw this, he discussed with Huang Ama and the others, staying up all night on the 15th, Zhao Ama really didn''t want to miss the opportunity to make money. Discuss with Huang Ama, and go to his house to spend the night.


    Huang Ah Mo naturally had no objections and readily agreed.


    Zhao Amo sent away the three of Zhao Ning and Zhao Sheng Anning, and he and Zhao Baogen stayed in the town.


    Huang Ama, Uncle Huang, and Huang Jinlei are even more unlikely to leave. They live so close to each other, and originally planned to stay a little longer at night. It would be better to have Zhao Ama with them now.


    Zhong Ziqi listened to Zhao Zhengan who came back from the town and said that Zhao Ama, they would not be back at night, so they discussed and asked: "I also want to go to the town to see the lanterns..."


    Zhao Zhengan didn¡¯t even want to immediately refuse: ¡°No, there are too many people. You¡¯ll be squeezed into it if your small body gets in there, and you¡¯re in this body, go, what if you get squeezed down and fall? Do?" There are so many people that he has no time to take care of him. Where can he be taken care of? Let''s just stay at home.


    "If you don''t go, don''t go." Zhong Ziqi pouted, unhappy.


    Zhao Zhengan leaned in and kissed his curled lips: "Don''t be upset, I''ll take you next year."


    Zhong Ziqi wasn''t really angry either, because he had expected it and stretched out his hand to push Zhao Zhengan: "Who are the three of them cooking at home? Are you peaceful?"


    Zhao Zhengan was pushed aside, so he was too lazy to fall on the kang: "Well, listening to Zhao Sheng said, An Ning will do it, don''t you say that Zhao Ning will do it too? How can the three of them feed themselves."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded, then stretched out his foot to kick the lazy Zhao Zhengan, leaning at him: "Then you don''t hurry up to cook, I''m all hungry."


    When Zhao Zhengan heard that he was hungry, he immediately sat up with a carp, "Master, wait a minute, and the younger one is going to cook."


    Zhao Zhengan squeezed his throat and said nonchalantly.


    "That''s right, go and come back soon." Zhong Ziqi also said pretentiously, and the two couldn''t hold back a glance at each other.


    When the sun set to the west, the sky was dark within a few minutes, and the night in Qingshui Town had just begun.


    Whenever there is a festival, the town will be very lively. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and the Lantern Festival. The rich master¡¯s house in the town will invite opera singers to have a fun. It does not restrict the people to watch, and those who are interested will watch it. There are lanterns and word puzzles, which attract young people.


    Looking around, most of the young people under 30 in the crowd are a boy and a brother together. Visually, they are either married or engaged. Then they climb the wall to get along well.


    Elderly people generally don''t like to join in the excitement. They don''t like to be too noisy. If they bump into it, it won''t be good. Besides, they must come out with their husband. I am embarrassed to be too old.


    Therefore, this Lantern Festival carnival belongs to young people. When they are tired from playing, they will find a place to eat to replenish their energy, and then continue to play.


    On every street in Qingshui Town, under the eaves of every shop, including quite delicious, there are two red lanterns. In the dark night, they emit a fiery halo, illuminating the whole world with a hazy beauty. , Fascinating indulgence.


    It is also the first time Zhao Ama has seen such a scene. He is also a brother, with romance in his bones. If he is not past his willful age, he also wants to indulge with the people running around the street.


    It''s Huang Ah Mo who have lived in the town for many years, and they are no strangers to such a scene.


    The number of people who come to eat delicious food is almost twice as many as usual. Some people usually come and are regular customers in the store, while some people come here admiringly, which leads to a lot of delicious business.


    Zhao Ama and Huang Ama almost couldn''t close their mouths from ear to ear, while Zhao Baogen, Uncle Huang, and Huang Jinlei were suffering. They were busy walking off the ground and were dizzy.


    It wasn''t until midnight that the crowd gradually dissipated, and Zhao Ama and Huang Ama were able to breathe. The five people sat in the shop and simply ate something to fill their stomachs, and then closed.


    It¡¯s not the first time that Zhao Ama came to Huang Ama¡¯s house, but it was the first time to see what Huang Ama¡¯s house was like. They also had a main room at the entrance, with bedrooms on both sides, and on the left side of the house. There is also a wing room, but it is not as big as the main house. Inside it is a very simple small room, because there is no one in it, and some clutter is piled up. And next to this wing is a small kitchen.


    "Come, come in, his dad will go and boil some hot water." Huang Amao said to Uncle Huang.


    "Hey... go now." Uncle Huang responded.


    Huang Jinlei stretched out his hand to stop Uncle Huang: "Father, let me go, you rest for a while." After that, Huang Jinlei went into the kitchen.


    Although Zhao Ama said this to Huang Ama, he saw Huang Jinlei''s behavior in his eyes, and he became more satisfied.


    After a busy day and a half-night, the few people are already exhausted. After washing each other, Huang Ama divided the rooms for the few people: "You three big men, go to that house. We will live in this house."


    Everyone will naturally not object, although the old are old and the young are few, it is still necessary to avoid suspicion.


    After closing the door, Huang A-ma and Zhao A-ma took off their clothes and lay down.


    The two of them didn''t go to sleep either, but talked for a while.


    "I made a lot today. Fortunately I stayed here, otherwise I missed it." Zhao Ama sighed and said, although he was tired, but thinking about the money he made, he felt happy and tired.


    "Yeah, if it weren''t for you, I would think about selling it with his father a little longer and going home. This is a good thing, only a few times a year." There are only a handful of festivals every year, and there are only a few, so they can let them. Those who stay up late to make money are also these festivals.


    The two chatted, and under the guidance of Zhao Ama, they talked about Huang Jinlei.


    "Hey, your Leizi came back this time, didn''t you see if there is a suitable brother?" Zhao Ama asked casually.


    Huang Ama sighed: "Someone also came to introduce him. Either he didn''t like his brother, or his brother thought it was too scary to dismiss him."


    Huang Ama was also very angry when he talked about this. Huang Jinlei didn''t know that he was smiling when he met his brother, and he looked like he shouldn''t get close to other people, and he laughed because of his own evil spirit as a soldier. Fortunately, if you don''t laugh, it''s a real evil spirit.


    While seeing Huang Ama and Uncle Huang in a hurry, they couldn''t help rolling their eyes, hating iron for not making steel, how could this son be so inexperienced.


    "Hehe, it''s okay, don''t worry, this marriage is a lifetime thing, you have to choose it carefully." In the darkness, Zhao Ama''s eyes became a seam with a smile.


    "Yes." Huang Ama was taken aback, and after a while he was a little joking and said to Zhao Ama: "I really like your Xiaoning, so I don''t know if you do it."


    Zhao Ama didn''t expect Huang Ama to say this, and he was happy: "Why don''t you agree with that? I think your Leizi is also an honest and capable person. It would be good if you get married."


    Huang Ama stood up when he heard the words and looked at Zhao A in the dim darkness: "He, what are you saying, is it true?"


    Zhao Ama laughed: "That''s still false, tell you the truth, I look good with your Leizi, but I don''t know if your Leizi is willing?"


    Huang Ama was happy in his heart and said happily: "Xiaoning is such a good child, he dare not be willing to see if I don¡¯t interrupt his leg, I will tell you, I am actually optimistic about the two children, the point is, My Leizi is like an elm bump, he is not open, nor talkative, so he is afraid that Xiao Ning will dislike it." Huang Ama said sincerely.


    Zhao Amoxin said: Our family Zhao Ning has a hundred and twenty happy hearts, and he replied: "So what''s the dissatisfaction? When the time comes, let the two children get along with each other and we will know."


    "I think it''s OK." Huang Ama nodded. He liked Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning the most. At first he thought that if Zhong Ziqi was not married, he could introduce him to his son. Later he The goal was transferred to Zhao Ning, but although he was optimistic about the two, he was unwilling to marry the two casually. If the two children were not happy, could they still be strong together? !


    Huang A-Mo and Zhao A-Mo murmured and fell asleep contentedly in the middle of the night.


    The next day, early in the morning, after eating, Zhao Ama and Zhao Baogen left first. This was discussed last night. Huang Ama probed Huang Jinlei''s tone, and Zhao Ama went to inform Zhao Ning.


    "Son, wait a while and then clean up. Come over, Eminem and ask you something." Huang Amo waved Huang Jinlei as he cleaned up the dishes.


    "What''s the matter? Eminem?" Huang Jinlei glanced at his father, and saw that he didn''t know why, so he walked to Eminem.


    "Son, Eminem has another brother for you. This time is absolutely good. You will definitely be satisfied." Huang Ama praised.


    Uncle Huang asked suspiciously: "Who?" Why didn''t he know.


    Huang Jinlei is somewhat lacking in interest. He doesn''t like blind dates, and being criticized from top to bottom by the other party makes him uncomfortable.


    Huang Ama glanced at his expressionless son, and cleared his throat: "This person is also familiar to you, he is..." Huang Ama paused on purpose.


    But Uncle Huang was anxious: "Who the hell? Hurry up, how come you have reached a critical point."


    Huang Ah Mo smiled: "This person is...Xiao Ning."


    "What? Xiao Ning?" Uncle Huang was shocked.


    Even Huang Jinlei was shocked.


    "How is it? Son, you have been in contact with Xiao Ning for so long, what do you think of him?" Huang Ama asked, not believing that his son felt nothing at all.


    Huang Jinlei thought for a while and said honestly: "Very good, very nice person." He was lively and cute, much better than his blind date.


    "Then you guys will get along today" Huang Ama said firmly without giving Huang Jinlei time to object.


    "..." Huang Jinlei opened his mouth and swallowed what was in his mouth.

 Chapter 75: Go shopping

    "Eminem, did you really talk to Huang Ah?" Zhao Ning exclaimed, with a shame on his face and a shy answer.


    "Yes, I have discussed with you Huang Ama, and when they come, you will go out and walk with Jin Lei, talk, contact, and feelings need to be cultivated." Zhao Ama said earnestly.


    Zhao Ning tangled her hands together and nodded from time to time as she listened to Zhao Ama''s teaching experience. To be honest, he was quite nervous, his brother was easy to be emotional. After so long together, Zhao Ning felt that Huang Jinlei was really good. He felt his heart moved. I don¡¯t know when to start. Seeing his heart will pound and jump irregularly. His gaze also began to follow him uncontrollably, and when Huang Jinlei looked at him, he would look away pretending to be nonchalant, and then secretly look at him when he was not paying attention. It''s just that it''s useless that he likes the other person himself, he also wants to know what Huang Jinlei thinks.


    Zhao Lan looked at the pair of mums, muttering in the corner and didn''t know what they were talking about. Only Zhao Ning''s somewhat shy expression could be seen. He shook his head, guessing in his heart that it might be something private.


    Zhao Sheng and An Ning also looked at Zhao Ama and Zhao Ning frequently. They didn''t know what they were talking about or what they couldn''t listen to.


    "Father, what are Eminem and Xiao Ning talking about?" Zhao Sheng asked the busy self-care Zhao Baogen in confusion.


    Zhao Baogen didn''t lift his head and said, "Hurry up and talk about it when you go back." On the way here, Zhao Ama had already reported to Zhao Baogen, and Zhao Baogen naturally agreed.


    Zhao Sheng and An Ning were reprimanded by Zhao Baogen, they could only obediently put away their curiosity.


    After a while, Huang Ama and the others came, and they didn''t see Huang Jinlei, only him and Uncle Huang.


    Huang Amo smiled and apologized as soon as he entered the room: "I came out late today, something was delayed."


    "We just came too." Zhao Lan replied. He knew that Zhao Ama and Huang Ama stayed up here yesterday to do business.


    "How is it?" Zhao Ama leaned over to Huang Ama and asked quietly.


    Huang Ah Mo nodded and bit his ears to Zhao A Mo and said, "I let my Lei Zi wait outside the door. Let Xiao Ning go out."


    Zhao Amo nodded and winked at Zhao Ning.


    Zhao Ning understood, bit his lip, and went out quietly.


    Early in the morning, the streets were particularly deserted, especially after the noise last night, it is estimated that many people would not be able to get up in the morning.


    Zhao Ning went out, looked around, and saw Huang Jinlei standing at the door on the right.


    Zhao Ning''s face still reddened uncontrollably, and he walked over in small steps without speaking.


    Huang Jinlei still said with an expressionless face when Zhao Ning came out and said, "Let''s go."


    Zhao Ning followed him and asked, "Where are we going?"


    "Just walk around."


    Huang Jinlei said, don¡¯t look at how calm he looks at this time, he is actually quite nervous in his heart. He finds it strange that he doesn¡¯t feel that way when he is with other brothers. He will only feel bored. Ning doesn''t feel this way, is it possible...


    Huang Jinlei glanced at Zhao Ning thoughtfully, looked at him shyly and timidly, and felt inexplicably like it in his heart.


    Although there are few people on the street at this time, there are not many vendors. Especially in this new year, there are more small pendants.


    Zhao Ning and Huang Jinlei walked slowly, and immediately many vendors yelled: "You two are objective, look at our purse. It looks good and generous. It looks good for your husband or your husband."


    "Come and take a look, a nice bracelet."


    "Selling lanterns, Fu Lang takes a look, our lanterns are small and cute, and they are right for you."


    Huang Jinlei listened to the various screams in his ears, and noticed that the steps beside him had slowed by half a beat.


    Huang Jinlei turned around and found that Zhao Ning had been attracted by the things around him.


    It¡¯s no wonder that Zhao Ning is curious. He rarely wandered around in the town before. Most of the time, he left after finishing the business. Only after doing business with Zhong Ziqi, did he gradually become familiar with Qingshui Town, but he didn¡¯t see it. When Qingshui Town was really busy, looking at the dazzling array of goods around, Zhao Ning felt that his eyes were about to run out, and everything looked good, and everything looked strange. He didn''t notice when Huang Jinlei, who was walking next to him, stopped.


    It wasn''t until the arm was pulled that Zhao Ning came back to his senses and looked at Huang Jinlei along the arm: "What''s the matter?"


    Huang Jinlei asked instead: "Like these?"


    Zhao Ning touched her nose embarrassedly: "It''s okay, but I haven''t seen it before, so I''m very curious."


    Huang Jinlei nodded to the stall owner selling rouge and water and rice next to him and said, "Bring me a box."


    The stall owner was naturally overjoyed.


    "Don''t buy it for me, I still have it at home." Zhao Ning gently tugged his sleeve.


    Huang Jinlei shook his head: "I can use it later, and I don''t have much money."


    Zhao Ning let out a cry, no objection, he was already happy at this time, and secretly wondering if he likes himself too? Why else would you buy something for yourself?


    Next, Huang Jinlei can be said to have started the shopping mode. As long as Zhao Ning likes it and looks at it more, he will buy it without hesitation. There are bracelets, wooden hairpins, delicious and fun.


    Although Zhao Ning was pleased with his thoughtfulness, he still felt it was too wasteful. Although it was not expensive, it was a lot in combination. The embarrassed Zhao Ning never dared to take random shots on the road afterwards.


    Zhao Ning''s departure was all morning. The later they came back, the happier Huang A-mae and Zhao A-mae would be. This shows that the two children got along well, otherwise they would have returned long ago.


    Seeing that his brother was gone and never returned, Zhao Sheng didn''t know what to do, so he asked a little worried: "Em, what did Xiao Ning do? Why isn''t he coming back? How dangerous is his brother outside. "


    Zhao Ama waved his hand: "I know in my heart, you can do your thing, don''t worry."


    Seeing that he couldn''t ask, he could only suppress the doubts and worries in his heart, and asked Huang Ah, "Huang Ah, when will Brother Lei come back? It''s noon."


    Huang Ama smiled and said, "It''s coming soon."


    Only the careful Zhao Lan realized something was wrong. Zhao Ama and Huang Ama laughed wrongly, acted wrongly, and spoke even more wrongly. Associating with the two people who had disappeared, Zhao Lan suddenly understood something and smiled knowingly. laugh.


    Just after noon, Zhao Ning returned with Huang Jinlei. Zhao Ning smiled happily. He was holding many odds and ends in his hand. Huang Jinlei is still expressionless, but anyone can see the softness on his face.


    "Xiao Ning, are you back? What did you do? Why did you come back with Brother Lei?" Zhao Sheng immediately asked when he saw Zhao Ning, but he held back all morning.


    "Um... I didn''t do anything, I just went out for a stroll." Zhao Ning said with a flushed face.


    However, An Ning''s eyes turned around Zhao Ning and Huang Jinlei twice and saw the doorway. He saw that his mate wanted to ask, so he quickly stretched out his hand and motioned him to shut up.


    After Zhao Ning and Huang Jinlei came back, they were busy with the business in the store. Zhao A-ma and Huang A-ma were as busy as others, and no one asked how they were.


    In the evening, when they went back to their homes, they all began to cross-examine each other.


    "Xiaoning, how are you today?" Zhao Ama asked impatiently.


    "Very good, he bought those for me." Zhao Ning pointed to the pile of things on the table and grinned.


    "Okay, this kid has eyesight, you Huang Ama still said he has elm bumps, I think it''s very good." Zhao Ama said with satisfaction.


    "Eminem, what are you talking about? What elm bumps? Who bought it?" Zhao Shengzhang''s monk was puzzled, listening to Eminem and his brother, it was like listening to a fantasy.


    Zhao Amo cast a glance at Zhao Sheng, then turned his head and said to the silent Zhao Baogen: "You said why we two gave birth to such an unknowing son, just like you."


    Zhao Baogen grinned, a little distracted thinking that when he was young, he was just like Zhao Sheng, stupid and stupid.


    An Ning covered her mouth and smiled as she watched her deflated appearance, and said: "Emma said, it should be Xiao Ning and Lei brother''s marriage?"


    Zhao Amo nodded: "You are still smart."


    Zhao Sheng suddenly realized: "You went out with Brother Lei today? Are these all Brother Lei bought for you?"


    Zhao Ning nodded.


    "Then you just tell me directly, which made me worry all morning." Zhao Sheng said helplessly.


    "You Lang has guessed something so obvious, but you still can''t guess it." Zhao Ama nodded his head.


    Zhao Sheng aggrieved: "I''m not stupid."


    On the other side, Huang Ama¡¯s family is also facing the same torture.


    "Son, what do you think of Xiao Ning?" Huang Ama asked.


    "Very good." Huang Jinlei answered without even thinking about it.


    "Then what do you mean?" Uncle Huang asked.


    Huang Jinlei did not answer directly. Instead, he said: "My son listens to you, according to the orders of your parents and the words of the matchmaker."


    "Well, since we listen to us, then we''ll make a decision, Xiaoning."


    Huang Ama and Uncle Huang looked happy. Now that their son is over 20, children of his age will all run away, but his wife has not yet. How can Huang Ama and Uncle Huang not be in a hurry. Fortunately, Zhao Ning does not dislike him. Older and dumb, willing to be with him.


    Zhong Ziqi, who lives at home, was the last to get the news, or Zhao Zhengan told him.


    "Huh? They really became? When did Zhao Ama talk to Huang Ama?" Zhong Ziqi asked in surprise.


    "Should be said on the night of the fifteenth." Zhao Zhengan said leisurely lying on the kang.


    Now he has finished soaking the medicine prescribed by the genius doctor, his head really doesn¡¯t hurt at all, and his whole body is full of strength. Unlike before, he and Zhong Ziqi can¡¯t help feeling that the genius doctor is the genius doctor, no matter what the illness is. Even the trauma of the head can be healed by the hand.


    Zhao Zhengan may not think so much, but Zhong Ziqi is an authentic modern person. He knows best in his heart that modern hospitals are helpless and have no medicine to treat the traumatic sequelae in his brain. This shows how difficult such a disease is to treat. The genius doctor did it so easily.


    "Did Brother Lei agree?" Zhong Ziqi asked. On weekdays, they could only see Zhao Ning''s thoughts, but they could not see anything from Huang Jinlei''s expressionless face.


    "Of course I agree, otherwise they can''t be together. Both of them don''t object. Zhao Ama and Huang Ama are both happy. These days they are discussing finding a good day to get things done." Zhao Zhengan Said.


    Zhong Ziqi was speechless, how anxious it was, and didn''t get along well, it''s about to get married, this is called a flash marriage...

 Chapter 76: Changshun

    The New Year has passed and the beginning of spring is immediately ushered in, which means that the weather has also begun to warm up gradually. It is no longer getting colder day by day, but warmer day by day.


    Although it is said that the weather is warm in spring, Zhong Ziqi still feels very cold, especially when the temperature difference between morning and evening is extremely large. He usually avoids this time when he goes out.


    Otherwise, Zhong Ziqi is the most laid-back among all people. He is now three months old and he is no longer sick with morning sickness. He has a better appetite and he naturally feels happy. In addition, the Zhong family and Wang family will not come to ask for things. Zhao Zhengan is doing everything at home. There is no shortage. There is no shortage of flowers to eat. Don''t mention how moisturizing his daily life is. Of course, this is only in the eyes of others.


    In Zhong Ziqi''s eyes, he is really no different from pigs. Every day except eating and sleeping, the bones of his whole body are about to fall apart. It¡¯s so boring. I don¡¯t have any entertainment every day. I can only stay stupid. I stay for a whole day. I eat and sleep. There is no peas to play...


    If it''s only ten and a half days, that''s fine, but there are still six or seven months. If he is allowed to stay like this, he has to be depressed.


    Tunnel Zhong Ziqi made a protest to Zhao Zhengan, with a good name, go out and walk more, which is good for the body and good for the baby.


    Zhao Zhengan thinks about it, too, always staying is not good, he still needs a certain amount of exercise. It''s just that their village is not big, and there are not many people who are familiar with them. They are all in the town, and there are no people who want to go out and find a talker.


    No way, Zhao Zhengan could only take Zhong Ziqi to town. It''s just that they don''t always ride in Zhao Ershu''s carriage, which is inconvenient, so the two of them negotiated and decided to buy a carriage, which will be used in the future. There is no difference between buying early and late.


    So Zhao Zhengan came back in a carriage this day.


    Zhong Ziqi was sewing Zhao Zhengan''s clothes in the room, and heard a vague sound. Dahei and Xiaohei also stood up and stared at the door, barking twice.


    Zhong Ziqi put down her clothes, put on her shoes, and walked out of the house, when the door was knocked just now. Zhong Ziqi asked vigilantly: "Who?"


    "Daughter-in-law, it''s me." Zhao Zhengan answered outside the door.


    The door of their house is usually reversed, especially when he is at home, to prevent the bad guys from coming in, and Zhao Zhengan only needs to knock on the door when he comes back, and Zhong Ziqi will open it for him.


    "Oh..." Zhong Ziqi hurriedly walked over and opened the door. What caught your eye was the carriage with carriages outside the door.


    A brown adult horse is standing there honestly, waving its tail, looking at Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan with two big watery eyes.


    Zhong Ziqi felt like she was adorable: "Can I touch it?"


    Zhao Zhengan quickly stopped him: "It doesn''t know you yet, be careful not to get hurt."


    "Oh." Zhong Ziqi replied regretfully, then entered the carriage and looked up and down carefully, very satisfied.


    "Not bad, right?" Zhao Zhengan asked with a smile, but he had been picking it for a long time.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Very good." So that it is convenient for them to go out wherever they want to go.


    Although their yard is spacious enough, one chicken coop and one dog house also occupy a large area. This cart can be put directly in the yard, but the horse is indeed a problem. You can¡¯t just tie it in the yard, see. It''s too dirty.


    After thinking about it, Zhao Zhengan went to those dilapidated houses, found some boards, put them together horizontally and vertically, and built a simple stable. As long as he was not exposed to wind and rain for a long time, he waited for a while. , They built a new house at home, they will definitely build a stable again.


    The next day, after the sun rose and when the temperature was warm, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi went to Qingshui Town. Now there is Wang Jicheng''s guard in the compound, so there is no need to worry about any problems. The two of them acted as the shopkeeper.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi went straight and it was delicious. At this time, there are quite a lot of people who are quite delicious, and those with sharp eyes discovered that they hadn''t seen Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi for a long time.


    Everyone said hello: "Boss Zhao is here."


    "Boy Zhao and Brother Qi, are you here?"


    "You two brats, don''t come to see us old folks" This is what I said familiarly


    "..."


    There were a lot of greetings, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi stood at the door with smiles and answered each other for a while.


    Then went into the house.


    "Why are you two here?" Zhao Ama asked, taking time out of his busy schedule.


    "Ziqi is too boring to stay at home, so I will take him out for a stroll to relieve boredom." Zhao Zhengan said.


    Zhao Amo nodded: "It''s time to get more exercise. You look at people too tightly."


    "Zhao A, don''t you think? He doesn''t let me do this every day, then he doesn''t let me do it, every day he eats and sleeps, sleeps and eats, what is the difference between me and a pig." Zhong Ziqi complained helplessly to Zhao Ama. .


    Zhao Zhengan is also very helpless, he is also worried about him.


    Zhao Amo laughed: "Your kid is also in the blessing and knows no good fortune. When I was pregnant, I went to the field to do farm work, which one did not do the planting and harvesting. I was tired at that time, so I wanted to take a good rest. No time."


    Zhong Ziqi was preached, but he smiled.


    Zhao Zhengan went over to help when there were too many people in the store.


    After a while, Zhao Ning was out of time and ran over to talk to Zhong Ziqi: "Ziqi, did you buy a carriage?" They all heard Zhao Zhengan say that they wanted to buy a carriage.


    "Bought, he rushed over today."


    Zhao Ning said enviously: "Spend a lot of money, right?"


    "Fortunately, dozens of taels." They still picked up the money.


    Zhao Ning was shocked and shook his head. There are still a few dozen taels. Their family has worked so hard for so long to have this at best.


    "Why, do you like it? Let Brother Lei buy one for you too." Zhong Ziqi said with winking eyebrows.


    Zhao Ning couldn''t help but glanced at Huang Jinlei who was still busy, and shook his head: "Forget it, this is too expensive, who like your family can take out dozens of them without blinking." Zhong Ziqi smiled and joked: "This Start saving money before closing the door."


    "What are you talking about!" Zhao Ning glared at him.


    "By the way, Ziqi, have you heard that the Changshun restaurant in our town, the one that bullied us, is about to close."


    Zhao Ning gloated and said that Changshun was really bullying them too hard, especially Zhao Zhengan. Had Zhao Zhengan''s fate not been for him, Zhong Ziqi might have been widowed by now. Regardless of the age, widows are full of right and wrong, and they are sad.


    "Oh? Isn''t it opened well? Why is it closed?"


    Zhong Ziqi remembered how rampant this Changshun was. Although he knew that it would be sooner or later that they went bankrupt, he was still curious about why they suddenly went bankrupt.


    Zhao Ning curled his lips: "I heard from the people they came to eat. This Changshun restaurant has been very uncomfortable ever since it was pressured by the Jinhua restaurant. The county grandfather behind them clearly ordered them to settle down in their homes. Especially. After injuring your Zhao Zhengan, the county grandfather became even more furious. The aunt and wife of the Chang family were left out and fell out of favor. The county grandfather soon moved into the same room again. Although his appearance is not as good as the Chang family''s brother, Sheng Zai Yu Wen Keren likes the grandfather of the county."


    "Also, since you started doing business in the town, you have robbed a lot of diners, especially since we opened the store. There are more people. Jinhua is not affected because Jinhua''s consumption is originally provided to some wealthy people, and they The cook of Jinhua Restaurant is not much better than Changshun. I heard that the hands and feet of Changshun Restaurant are dirty. For this reason, many restaurants drove him away. No one dared to hire him anymore. In the end, Changshun was greedy to take him in. There is really nothing outstanding about this craftsmanship, and Changshun is unwilling to be indifferent to the business and started to **** the formula.


    Zhong Ziqi shook his head in disapproval, what can I do if I grab it, the craftsmanship is not good, and I can''t make the taste if I grab it, but it buried these delicious recipes.


    Zhao Ning drank slobber and continued: "This Changshun restaurant is not like Jinhua restaurant where most of the people who go to are rich. They don¡¯t have craftsmanship and usually go to ordinary people. They always want to compete with Jinhua. It¡¯s really true. I don¡¯t know if the sky is high and the earth is thick. Since we started to eat very deliciously, those diners have basically come to us, especially after you started supplying twisted fritters to restaurants, which restaurants have them, the diners will naturally go there. We don¡¯t have any in Changshun. No one went to the supply. I heard that there were only three or two people a day. They were particularly deserted. After a long time, they couldn¡¯t keep up their expenses. Especially since Chang¡¯s brother was spoiled, they spent money to do things. The big-handed people have offended many people. Now the Chang family has fallen out of favor. Without the support of the county grandfather, those who have been offended by them have started to come to find fault. Naturally, this restaurant can no longer be opened."


    After listening, Zhong Ziqi said with emotion: "Good and evil will have retribution in the end. It''s not that the time has not come. Look, now is the time for retribution. Therefore, it is the end that people can''t do too much."


    Zhao Ning nodded as if following the chicken pecking at the rice.


    Zhong Ziqi stayed in the store all morning and went home with Zhao Zhengan. On the way back, Zhong Ziqi talked to Zhao Zhengan about Changshun.


    Zhao Zhengan sighed: "It''s really admirable to be a man to this degree. I can''t wait to offend the whole world."


    "Who wouldn''t say it, it''s said that many friends have many roads, their homes are good, and many enemies eat their food."


    Zhong Ziqi sat in the carriage and shook her head. He reached out and touched the bump on his belly, thinking in his heart that their children must be well educated in the future. If it is like that, it would be better not to raise them and harm others.


    After returning home, Zhao Zhengan rested for a while and went into the kitchen to cook. Zhong Ziqi sat on the kang as if thinking.


    He was thinking about adding more food to sell. They don¡¯t have time to retail in their compound, but they can be made, as long as the finished product is sold through major restaurants.


    He is not afraid that those restaurants will not sell it. It is the first time he has seen every kind of food in this world. As long as he takes the sample back and tastes it, unless a stupid person, anyone with a brain will agree.


    How could they miss the opportunity to make money?


    It''s just that he has to think carefully about what it is going to sell.

 Chapter 77: New product

    On this day, after Zhong Ziqi came back from the town, she got into the kitchen and clearly ordered Zhao Zhengan not to come in.


    Zhao Zhengan was curious about what he was going to do. Today, the two of them went to town. Zhong Ziqi went to the condiment store and bought several condiments, went to the hospital to buy several Chinese medicines, and went to the meat stall to buy some meat. He asked him What do you want to buy these, he just said it was useful.


    Now it seems that we should do some weird food again.


    Sometimes he was also very strange, how could he have so many weird thoughts, Zhao Zhengan felt that Zhong Ziqi seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, sometimes clear and sometimes hazy, he had to admit that he couldn''t guess it.


    Just a brother who grew up in this small mountain village, what secret can he have?


    I am afraid that Zhao Zhengan would not even think about how terrifying the real secret is.


    Zhong Ziqi swears in his heart that he will not tell this thing unless he has to. It was easy to be regarded as a monster in ancient times, soaking pig cages and setting fires. This is not impossible. He did not dare to take this risk, so let him Let him rot this secret in his stomach.


    When Zhao Zhengan had nothing to do, he went into the yard to clean the stables. In order to prevent the spread of odor, Zhao Zhengan basically cleaned up the feces every day. He knew that Zhong Ziqi was a clean person, so he naturally wanted to clean it up.


    Only time passed, Zhao Zhengan''s chicken coop and doghouse were all cleaned up, and Zhong Ziqi hadn''t come out of the kitchen yet.


    Zhao Zhengan yelled anxiously: "Ziqi? Are you okay? Are you alright?"


    "It''s ready soon, wait a minute." Zhong Ziqi''s voice came from the kitchen.


    Zhao Zhengan was relieved when he heard his angry voice, which showed that he did not have any problems, but his curiosity came up again. With his hands behind his back, he walked quietly to the kitchen. The kitchen door was closed tightly. A wisp of light smoke ran out from the crack in the door. Zhao Zhengan sniffed his nose, and couldn''t help but say, "It smells so good."


    This scent is very different, he doesn''t know how to describe it, in short, it is the kind that makes people want to chop it in a big way.


    After a while, Zhong Ziqi came out of the kitchen while Zhao Zhengan was scratching his head.


    He also held a plate of neatly sliced, but dark red meat, with a layer of the same darker juice on top, which looked particularly appetizing.


    "What is this?" Zhao Zhengan asked after swallowing.


    "Meat, can you taste it?" Zhong Ziqi picked up a piece of meat dipped in marinade and put it into Zhao Zhengan''s mouth.


    Zhao Zhengan felt a strange smell in his mouth, but the more he chewed, the more fragrant it became, so that the more he chewed, the brighter his eyes became.


    "Is it delicious?" Zhong Ziqi asked. He has tasted it, and the taste is still good. Although he hasn''t learned it orthodoxically, some of the ingredients are just put by him, but it is still very fragrant.


    Sure enough, Zhao Zheng nodded uncontrollably: "It''s delicious, what is this daughter-in-law?"


    "This is braised pork, how about it? Not bad? I used a lot of ingredients."


    Zhao Zhengan praised the thumbs up, it was delicious.


    "Daughter-in-law, do you want to sell this to the compound?"


    Zhao Zhengan took another piece of meat and asked as he ate it. Zhong Ziqi told him that the products here in the compound are too single, and the twisted fritters are actually not difficult to make. People who are interested can learn it carefully. After a long time, it will naturally be less unusual. They won''t make money here.


    So you have to add more new things to keep the heat up, and it''s best if others can''t imitate it.


    Zhao Zhengan recalled the big bag of ingredients that Zhong Ziqi had brought back, and felt that if it could be imitated, then they would also recognize it. This person must be quite powerful.


    "I have this idea. Don''t look too much at this seasoning, but it''s quite easy to make. It''s just that it takes a little longer to make. These ingredients must be matched in advance. They are all in a certain proportion... There are counts. Most people really can¡¯t imitate it. And this marinade. Before you find a suitable candidate, let us do it. I will teach you how to do it. If one day I feel uncomfortable, so are you. Take it, what do you think?" Zhong Ziqi asked him.


    As long as they keep the proportion of the seasoning formula, Zhong Ziqi believes that no one can make it.


    "It''s just that we still don''t have enough manpower." Zhao Zhengan said the current problems.


    Zhong Ziqi obviously thought about it too: "What should I do then? The compound is not big enough. If you add a few more people, it is obviously too busy."


    Zhao Zhengan thought for a while: "Let''s put this one out in advance, and I will look for a house again. It really doesn''t work. We can find a place to build it. Then you can write to your uncle again and ask your uncle to send us two capable men. "


    Zhong Ziqi also thinks this idea is good. They are not in a hurry at this moment. At this moment, the fields have not melted. If they want to build a house, they can''t start construction at all, so they have to wait.


    Instead, you can put a small amount of stewed meat to make it quite delicious, and see how it responds.


    "Okay, let''s not talk about it, let''s eat first."


    Zhong Ziqi directed Zhao Zhengan into the kitchen to bring the food. He was busy in the kitchen for several hours, and his body was a little tired. Obviously, he could hold on for a busy day before, but now, a few hours will appear tired.


    At the dinner table, Zhao Zhengan obviously has a soft spot for braised pork, because the salty and light taste he made was just right, and the same was true for eating empty mouth. This resulted in not enough for Zhao Zhengan to eat on that plate, but fortunately there was still left in Zhong Ziqi¡¯s kitchen. A lot.


    In the next few days, Zhong Ziqi began to teach Zhao Zhengan how to season and how to make braised pork. Zhao Zhengan had the basics of cooking before, so it was easier to get started at this time. Within two days, he could do anything different.


    They ate some of the stewed pork they made these days and gave it to Zhao Ama and they tasted some. After that, they all got quite delicious and sold it.


    Naturally, it caused another wave. Many people, like Zhao Zhengan, tasted weird at first, but slowly, the unique aroma began to spread in their mouths, and the fat but not greasy meat provoke them. Can''t help taking one bite and want to take a second bite.


    It¡¯s just that the price is naturally high, and everyone can understand it. After all, it¡¯s meat, it¡¯s still such a delicious meat.


    But even in this way, there are still a lot of people who come to buy braised pork every day, but because they have not officially started selling, the amount of braised pork brought by Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi every day is limited. If they don¡¯t buy it, they can only admit to themselves. Unlucky.


    Zhao Ama and Huang Ama had been stimulated enough, and they had already calmed down by this time.


    Only Zhao Lan still has Huang Jinlei. Fortunately, Huang Jinlei said that he could not show it even if he was surprised, but Zhao Lan was almost stunned. Seeing the long line of people, she admired Zhong Ziqi more and more in her heart.


    However, it is quite delicious and the business is booming. The most dumbfounding thing is that customers gradually bring their own hip flasks to make them very delicious. Order a plate of braised pork, you can drink it for a long time.


    However, because of the small size of the delicious food, they have always adopted a fashionable take-away policy. You can use oil paper to take away both twist and dough sticks. The same is true for tofu nao. You can also bring your own bowl. Most people still Very cooperative.


    Soon, Xiao Qinzi of Jinhua Restaurant found Zhao Zhengan. Because Xiao Qinzi is the right arm of Shopkeeper Jin, if he is busy, he will be sent by Shopkeeper Jin. Zhao Zhengan and him often come in contact with him. After a long time, he starts to praise him.


    "Brother Qin, what are you doing today?" Zhao Zhengan asked, arching his hands.


    At this moment they were sitting in the room used for errands in the compound, and they both looked at each other with smiles.


    "Isn''t it about your stewed pork? The shopkeeper asked me to ask you, can you provide it in large quantities?" Xiao Qinzi said.


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head: "Brother Qin, the braised meat is not available for the time being. Our family is short of manpower and space. We have to wait a little longer to produce and sell in large quantities." Zhao Zhengan said apologetically.


    "Okay, I''ll tell the shopkeeper when I go back, your husband and wife can just make a mess, and the things they make are more popular." Xiao Qinzi praised from the bottom of his heart, not to mention anything else, it was the cold dish that Zhong Ziqi sold to the restaurant. The noodles have increased their business a lot, even during the twelfth lunar month, there are still people coming to buy them, let alone twisted dough sticks. How much did they earn.


    Zhao Zhengan smiled modestly when he heard the words: "Brother Qin was overwhelmed. It''s just an insider''s fool. The blind cat encountered a dead mouse and he just studied it out."


    The daughter-in-law told him. To be a man is to be low-key, people are afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong, and to be modest and low-key in everything, he also doesn''t want to say how powerful Zhong Ziqi is. This is too eye-catching and not good.


    "Did you overwhelmed the award? You know in your heart that you and your family husband are capable people." Xiao Qinzi stood up after speaking, "I have to go back. We will talk to each other when we have time. "


    Zhao Zhengan also got up to see him off: "Then I''ll just wait for Brother Qin."


    ...


    Soon, another month passed, the temperature really kept warm, the ice and snow had melted, and there was no trace of white snow in the fields. This also means that Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi''s new house is about to start.


    Before this. Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi received a letter from Shen Yubei. The letter said that they learned that they were going to build a house and told them Father Shen that their itinerary would be pushed back. About half a month later, they would officially set off and arrived at them. There, the house was almost completed. The letter also wrote that their family was happy for Zhong Ziqi to have a child, and asked Zhong Ziqi to pay attention to his health and not to work too hard. Finally, Shen Yubei wrote that he would choose the person Zhao Zhengan wanted. Arranged for them to come together.

 Chapter 78: Build a house

    Since planning to build a house, it is necessary to choose a good site. Zhao Zhengan discussed with Zhong Ziqi and finally decided to build the house next to their current house. Zhong Ziqi didn¡¯t want to build it in the village. A group of people staring at it, it''s annoying to think about it!


    There are still enough people and things that are clean and not messy, and here is simply their world.


    Zhao Zhengan also thinks the back is good, but to live here, safety must be planned.


    "Daughter-in-law, do you want to build another one? Our braised pork is made here, and it will take about half an hour for the town to get to us by carriage." Zhao Zhengan asked, sitting on the kang, lying on him. Zhong Ziqi, lazy in his arms.


    Zhong Ziqi squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Alright, anyway, there are more open spaces around us, so you can figure out what the title of the house is."


    They originally wanted to set up the workshop for making braised pork in the town, which is so convenient, but the houses in the town are so easy to find, and the prices for sitting on the ground are everywhere. Either Zhao Zhengan looks down on it, or just looks at it. The house price is extremely high. Even if Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi are rich, they don''t want to be taken advantage of, so the stewed meat workshop has not been found, and the scale is still quite delicious.


    The two of them feel that it¡¯s not a problem to continue like this. Since they can¡¯t find a suitable one, they can build it by themselves. Apart from the trouble, they can save a lot of money. They buy a house in the town for more than a hundred taels. Covering, there are only brick and tile costs, labor costs, etc., and these costs often don''t cost a few dollars.


    It''s just that when the time comes, various restaurants will have to work hard to buy goods, but there is no need to worry about selling good things, as long as they are good, he will not be short of people to buy. Even if it is far away, Zhong Ziqi believes that those people will come over.


    Now that he decided to start construction, Zhao Zhengan started to get busy. He first went to the Yamen and bought all the land deeds around his home. In fact, people in the village would not think of buying land deeds when building a house, basically where there is vacant land. Just build the house wherever they are. In these ten miles and eight villages, it is impossible for the county grandfather to take care of it with so many people. Therefore, most county grandfathers just turn a blind eye and let it go.


    The reason why Zhao Zhengan wanted to buy the title deed was mainly because the area around their family was originally old houses, and they all lived in them. If the house is built one day, someone will come over and tell them that the place belongs to them, and they are entangled. , Trouble, simply go through the formal procedures to prevent future troubles.


    After finishing the land deed, he found some masons in the village and some familiar ones in the town. Some of them were those who worked in the courtyard last time. There are always more than ten people.


    When all the people were found, the construction began. More than a dozen people came here from around 7 o''clock in the morning and started to work directly. Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi had enough money to provide a lunch.


    It''s this meal, but these workers are so beautiful, I can''t wait to come to work every day.


    Zhong Ziqi will naturally not be foolish to make big fish and meat. At best, some sauerkraut soup occasionally puts a few pieces of meat, as well as cabbage stewed rice strips, etc., just two big white noodle buns, it looks very simple, but It¡¯s not too delicious to eat in the mouths of these workers. Zhong Ziqi has always been willing to cook with oil. No one has squandered so wantonly with the seasonings, so even an ordinary dish can be attracted. Everyone was full of praise.


    And occasionally there will be meat, so life is better than at home. Naturally, these workers were reluctant to leave.


    Zhong Ziqi¡¯s new house has a large structure. Except for the main house, there are two rows of wing rooms on the left and right, but they are not next to each other. Because they have obtained the title deed, they can build the house unscrupulously, so the house is not built. In other words, enough space is left in the front, back, left, and right yards. Walking from the south to the north is not enough.


    Especially the backyard is almost half an acre of land. Zhong Ziqi said that when the weather gets warmer, he plant a row of fruit trees, eat what he wants, and don''t drink wine.


    Zhao Zhengan naturally has no objections. On the contrary, he is also looking forward to such a scene. When the fruit trees bloom and bear fruit, their children will surely be toddlers. He can hold him and play in it. Think about the scene. Still a little excited!


    The speed of building the house is still very fast. The slow thing is to build the wall, because it is too long and it is more troublesome to transport bricks. As a last resort, Zhao Zhengan hired a few people in the village to transport bricks, carry water, and mud to serve these masons.


    Those who are hired are naturally happy. They have all heard that they earn two more pennies a day at their house than outside. They also provide a fragrant lunch every day, which has long caused many elders in the village. The eyes were hot, but Zhao Zhengan had only found five or six people in the village, most of them were close to their homes, and they could only look enviously. Unexpectedly, in a few days, Zhao Zhengan came to look for someone again. Everyone rushed to recommend themselves, but Zhao Zhengan was obviously in his heart. The people he was looking for were all honest and friendly men in the village. . Those who are not selected can only stare, dry envy and hatred.


    Speaking of this, I have to say that one thing happened in the middle of this, that is, where they built the house, there were originally several ruined houses, Zhao Zhengan they all pushed to level it. And the owners of these houses did not know if they listened to someone''s instigation and came to Zhao Zhengan for compensation, saying that they occupied their houses.


    Fortunately, Zhao Zhengan was prepared in the morning and took them to Lizheng''s house and showed him the title deed. Just as everyone read aloud in front of everyone, the few people immediately ran away dingy after listening. This time, the money was not expected, but they offended the two big rich men.


    When Zhao Zhengan talked about this to Zhong Ziqi, Zhong Ziqi just shook her head mockingly. There are always people looking at others making money and eager to change the way they want to get the money in their pockets. It is not too hot.


    The project of the house was completed in about half a month, and it was enough to add daily necessities, furniture and cabinets to it.


    But this is not in a hurry. Zhao Zhengan asked the carpenter in the town to specially order the wardrobes, bookshelves, tables and chairs, cabinets, etc. at home, and waited for the carpenter to fix it and bring it back anytime. He wanted to find it. Uncle Huang helped to make it. After all, Uncle Huang is a carpenter. It¡¯s just that Uncle Huang is helping out with delicious food every day. Plus they make a lot of furniture, and Uncle Huang does it alone. If you¡¯re tired, you have to do it. When did Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan think about it, they decided to find other carpenters in the town to order them.


    After the new house was built, Zhong Ziqi basically went to the new house every day, looking around and touching, with joy on his face. This is the real house that belongs to them. It is spacious and bright. It is called in the hearts of people who watch it. A comfortable, can''t wait to move in immediately. As for the original house, Zhong Ziqi felt uncomfortable at the thought of death, even if it was only Zhao Zhengan and his grandparents, so he couldn''t wait to build a house.


    Zhao Ama and they have all come to see them. They are speechless for this big house with only two people, and it is not too empty, but it is really good. Zhao Ama listened to the two people planning to live together. There were fruit trees planted in the yard. They felt that these two children were living this day, and they were too leisurely to keep up with them. They had to say that they were envious, but they were also happy for the two of them who had come to their pains.


    All these enviable things are not in vain, they are all made by two people, one step at a time, hard-earned, how much effort has been put into this, how many bumps have been encountered, and others will never be able to be in it. I felt it, so Zhao Ama and the others would be happy for the two of them from the bottom of their hearts.


    Zhao Zhengan chose the factory for the processing of braised pork on the left side of their house, which is to the south. After considering various reasons, it was not close to their house, but staggered from their house and diagonally forward.


    Naturally, this factory building as a processing plant cannot be smaller. It is many times larger than expected in the compound. It may not use such a large space at all, but it is always harmless to build a larger one. It is also necessary to build a building on the side. The wing room is used for boarding and lodging. As usual, a two-person high fence was erected around the house, so no one wanted to come in.


    Because of the large number of people, the factory building is not as long as the fence of a new house, so everyone builds it quickly.


    About ten days or so, it was almost over. During this time, Zhao Zhengan and their furniture had been laid out, and Zhao Zhengan hired a carriage to directly pull it back. Then, together with the workers, they carried them into the house one by one. The empty house immediately gained popularity.


    Just wait for a good day and they can move in.


    The workshop was completely completed within two days. Everyone was very happy after being tired for so long. This meant that their wages were about to be paid out. This is the most exciting thing.


    Naturally, Zhao Zhengan did not hesitate to pay more than 20 people, and invited them to a big meal. This sent everyone away.

 Chapter 79: move

    After the new house was built, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi spent two days going back to buy daily necessities, ranging from furniture, wooden bed dressers to small pots and pans.


    After everything was set up, the two decided to find a day to move in.


    The customary new houses in the village have to invite relatives and friends to dinner, and then formally enter the house at noon on auspicious days.


    Neither of them understood when the auspicious days were auspicious. Zhao Zhengan drove the carriage to the town to find his husband¡¯s current days. It happened that these two days happened to have an auspicious day. Zhao Zhengan quickly took the necessary dishes, vegetables and meat. Buy them all back.


    As for eating Anjia meal, Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi will definitely not invite the Zhong family and the Wang family, but they can invite Zhao Ama over for a meal. It¡¯s just that Zhao Ama is so busy that they probably don¡¯t have time. .


    "It doesn''t matter, whoever can come will come. This is just a ceremony. Remember to find the Lizheng couple." Zhong Ziqi said.


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "I know, I''ll go to Zhao Ama''s house in a moment and ask if he can make time to help you so busy and beat him up."


    "Yeah." Zhong Ziqi nodded.


    They were having dinner when Zhao Zhengan went to Zhao Ama''s house.


    "Zhengan is here, have you eaten yet? Take a bite at Ama''s house." Zhao Ama greeted Zhao Zhengan.


    Zhao Zhengan greeted Zhao Ama and Zhao Baogen, sitting on the kang and shook his head: "Ah, I have eaten, you eat yours, don''t worry about me."


    "Zheng''an, when will your family move? Did you find a lucky day?" Zhao Ama asked while eating.


    Zhao Zhengan smiled and said: "It''s a coincidence, I''m about to be with Ah, Uncle Baogen said, I''ll check with your husband, and the day after tomorrow will be auspicious, so the day after tomorrow, you and Uncle Baogen will come over if you have time."


    "Who are you looking for?"


    "I didn''t look for anyone, I looked for the Lizheng family, and Uncle Zhao, Huang Ama, they don''t know if they have time, there are less than ten people."


    Zhao Amo nodded: "The day after tomorrow, I will go and let your uncle go to town. He has a dull mouth and doesn''t know how to cook. When he goes, he just sits. I can help Ziqi busy."


    "Well, look at what you said about Uncle Baogen. Uncle Baogen just doesn''t like talking a little bit, but it''s okay to go and help me drink and drink with Lizheng and Uncle Zhao Er." Zhao Zhengan said amused.


    Zhao Ama covered her mouth and smiled: "Just because of his amount of alcohol, he pours after a few drinks. You might as well go into battle on your own."


    Zhao Baogen was hurt by his wife for a long time, so he gave him a shy look, and muttered, "Hurry up and eat your food."


    "Good, good, I won''t say anything, eat, eat."


    Zhao Ning and the others also watched and laughed.


    On auspicious day, Zhong Ziqi got up early in the morning and Zhao Ama also came early. Because he had to eat before noon, he must make it early and eat early.


    "Ziqi, do some dishes?" Zhao Amo came over to help with his sleeves rolled up.


    "How about the eight dishes?" Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao A while cutting the vegetables.


    "Eight dishes are enough, and there are not many people who can''t eat them."


    "If you can''t eat it, you will be left." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile, mainly because the number eight is auspicious.


    When the sun rose about seven or eight o''clock, Lizheng and the others came one after another.


    Naturally, Zhao Zhengan would accompany Lizheng Zhao Ershu in the house and they were talking, and the Lizheng family also came into the kitchen to help.


    "Oh, you are here too, didn''t you go to your shop?" The guy in the Lizheng family was surprised to see Zhao Ama.


    Zhao Ama laughed: "The joy of housewarming, besides, Ziqi is inconvenient now, so I have to come here anyway."


    Lizheng''s family immediately looked at Zhong Ziqi upon hearing this: "What''s wrong with Brother Qi? I''m sick?"


    Zhao Ama didn''t wait for Zhong Ziqi to reply and answered with a smile: "What else can you say!"


    The Lizheng family was puzzled at first, and then realized, "Could it be that Brother Qi is happy?"


    "Isn''t it, I''m happy, it''s been several months."


    "Really, this is a good thing, why didn''t you hear the boy Zhengan say?" The boy from the Lizheng family said happily.


    "Well, it''s not a big deal for me and Zhengan to think about it, so we didn''t talk about it." Zhong Ziqi touched her nose and said with a smile.


    "These two kids..." The Lizheng family shook his head and said nothing. The affairs of their family are complicated, so he shouldn''t inquire too much.


    Three people are busy, just faster than one, and soon, the eight dishes are ready before noon.


    Then the three of them went to the table one by one.


    There is a custom here that when there are many guests, as a brother, you are not allowed to go to the table, and you have to wait and eat at the side.


    However, Zhong Ziqi disagrees. It is okay to split the table, and he does not want to eat with the rough masters at that table, so noisy, he has no appetite. He simply opened another table in the kitchen, and the three of them sat in the kitchen to eat. As for adding vegetables to the house, it was left to Zhao Zhengan. He believed that he could still handle it.


    "Ziqi, your dish is delicious!" Li Zhengjia said in surprise. It was the first time he had eaten Zhong Ziqi''s dishes. The taste of the dishes he had cooked for decades could not catch up.


    "I did my own research blindly." Zhong Ziqi said haha.


    "If you want me to say, this cooking is to have that talent. Look at the two of us, who have been cooking for so many years, it is not as good as someone who has only learned two or three years." Zhao Ama sighed and shook his head, facing Li Zhengjia. Said the mouth.


    "This is justified, it''s just let me do it for another 20 years, and I won''t be able to keep up with Qi brother''s craftsmanship." Li Zhengjia nodded in agreement. He had never heard of Zhong Ziqi''s Am Shen family. Human cooking skills, this skill of Zhong Ziqi, seems incomprehensible except for talent.


    Zhong Ziqi just smiled when he heard the words, and then changed the topic without any trace.


    Because they were in a hurry, the elders in the house didn''t drink a lot of alcohol. When it was almost noon, everyone dispersed.


    Then the group went to the new house.


    At noon, when the auspicious hour has arrived, Zhao Ama didn''t know where to get a brazier and put it on the ground: "Ziqi, Zhengan, you two step over first, Wangding."


    "Good." Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi nodded.


    Zhao Zhengan had long legs, lifted the hem of his clothes and straddled it first, and then quickly turned back and helped Zhong Ziqi to step over. After that, Zhao Amelizheng and the others also stepped over the basin one by one, and they entered the new house.


    "You said it''s not too empty for the two of you to get such a big place," said the guy from the Lizheng family.


    Lizheng shook his head and thought that a bigger place would be nice, convenient for people to live, and convenient for storing things.


    "These two children have a plan, saying that they want to plant fruit trees all around. You said that this little life can be compared to them." Zhao Amo said.


    "Yeah, this is also the result of all suffering."


    Everyone nodded silently, remembering how difficult life was at the beginning.


    "Let''s not talk about it, let''s come in and have a look."


    Zhong Ziqi said with a slight smile, asking them to come in and take a look, and they inevitably got a lot of admiration.


    The furniture, tables and chairs are all very beautiful, with patterns and colors. They looked very beautiful. They knew that it would cost a lot of money.


    ...


    Lizheng and the others have been out for most of the day. After visiting the new houses of Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi, they went back home. Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi stood outside the door and sent them away.


    "Ziqi, I also went back, there are still chickens at home that I haven''t fed." Everyone left, only Zhao A was left, and he couldn''t keep it. There was still something to do at home.


    "Wait for a while." Zhong Ziqi stopped him: "There are a lot of vegetables left at home. If you don''t dislike it, please take some back."


    Zhao Ama waved his hand: "You can save yourself and eat."


    "There are a lot of them. We can''t finish eating, and if it breaks, it will be useless."


    Zhao Ama hesitated and nodded: "Okay."


    To say that he is disgusted, he really is not. Whoever has a happy event in the village, and the rest of the dishes will be distributed to some better people, so this is all normal, but Ziqi¡¯s dishes are all good dishes and meat dishes, he even It''s not too embarrassing to eat and take.


    After sending Zhao A away, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan were completely relieved, especially Zhong Ziqi had been busy since the morning and was already tired.


    "Go into the house and rest for a while." Zhao Zhengan embraced him and walked into the house.


    "Um...I want to take a break, so sleepy..."


    It was a bit late last night because he slept wildly with Zhao Zhengan. He got up early this morning and he was really tired.


    "Sleep for a while, I''ll go and clean up the kitchen over there." Zhao Zhengan said softly.


    "okay."


    After finishing talking, Zhong Ziqi fell on the kang in the new house, rolled up the quilt, and fell asleep shortly after closing her eyes.


    Zhao Zhengan shook his head dozingly and went out.

 Chapter 80: arrival

    On the pier in Qingshui Town, as always, there was a lot of excitement, ships one after another, merchant ships left and passenger ships came again.


    Qingshui Town is just a supply station at best. The place is small and there are not many people. People generally don''t stay here for long, just replenish food and rest.


    But gradually, as the business between Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan grew bigger and bigger, many merchants had heard about it, and heard that Qingshui Town produced several particularly delicious foods that made people eat them. Still want to eat.


    Therefore, many merchant ships chose to stop in Qingshui Town and then inquired around to find the delicious food. After a meal, those people found Wang Jicheng again and wanted him to provide more twisted dough sticks, and they ate them on the way.


    Naturally, Wang Jicheng would not push the business out.


    Once he had one that said it was delicious, he would propagate it everywhere. After the propaganda quickly, merchant ships came to the shore one after another and bought a large number from Wang Jicheng.


    In this way, Qingshui Town became more and more lively, and merchant ships and passenger ships passing by would go for quite delicious food or Wang Jicheng to buy a batch of food to take away.


    It was a sunny day again, and the weather was bright and sunny. Another passenger ship coming from the south docked at the South Wharf of Qingshui Town.


    The people on the boat got off the boat one after another. The last ones who got off the boat were two middle-aged husbands in their forties. The clothes looked very ordinary, but the man''s husband looked very beautiful, and his age was still charming. Still exist.


    There were also two people behind them, one was an elderly man who was about the same age as the previous two, and the other was a young man in his twenties...


    Many passers-by kept looking at them, mainly because the appearance of Ah Ma in his forties was too conspicuous.


    "Master, madam, young master, they shouldn''t be in town. You and the old lady will wait here and get down to find a car." A normal-looking, sturdy, paralyzed man bent over and respectfully said. If Zhong Ziqi and the others were here, they would definitely be recognized. This person is not someone else but Shen Yubei''s confidant.


    And the two people who were called by Hongying as the master, the wife were not others, they were Zhong Ziqi''s grandfather, grandmother, after a long journey, they finally came to Qingshui Town.


    "Let''s go together." Father Shen waved his hand to let him lead the way.


    "Master, go slowly." Shen Ama hurriedly held Father Shen''s arm.


    "That''s right, sir, let''s go slowly and don''t worry. It''s important to pay attention to your health."


    The forty-year-old man laughed and said that he is the chief steward of Shen''s mansion. He has been serving Father Shen for more than 30 years and has been loyal and loyal, and all major and small matters in the mansion must pass his hands.


    Father Shen said in full anger: "I am in good health, I don''t need your support." After speaking, he left the two of them and walked forward.


    Shen Wang and the housekeeper looked at each other and quickly followed.


    Hongying heard the master say that the two young masters are no longer very delicious, so Hongying went straight to the car dealership and rented a carriage with carriages. Master and madam naturally sat in it, while Hongying sat on the left. To drive the carriage, the butler sits on the right and looks at the scenery.


    At this time, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan are busy making stewed pork at home. Although their work house has been built, the manpower is still a problem. Zhao Zhengan is looking for manpower for these two days. Before he can find him, It can only be done by the two of them.


    The two of them had just made the amount to be used tomorrow, and the door was knocked when they were drinking water in the house.


    "Who is it?" Zhao Zhengan got up and went out to open the door. Usually no one from their family came over, so I don''t know who it is at this moment.


    Zhao Zhengan was stunned for a moment when he walked over and opened the door. After a while, he recovered and said in surprise: "Grandpa, grandma, you are here? Why don''t you send someone to pick you up."


    Father Shen outside the door walked around the silly Zhao Zhengan with his hands behind his back: "It''s so close, I''m still tossing about what you are doing, it''s not that there are no hands or feet."


    "Um...I''m afraid you won''t find it." Zhao Zhengan scratched his head.


    "There is a great shadow." Zhong Ziqi''s grandmother patted Zhao Zhengan''s arm and said.


    "Zhengan, who is it?"


    Seeing that Zhao Zhengan hadn''t come back for so long, Zhong Ziqi could only hear the voice of words, so he put on shoes and came out.


    The two parties were stunned when they met. The first thing Zhong Ziqi saw was a strange old man, cough cough, the old man was not appropriate, but it was indeed a man with gray hair standing not far away, and then he saw it again Looking at him side by side with Zhao Zhengan, a very strange face, Ah Mo, finally he saw Hong Ying, and Zhong Ziqi''s eyes flashed with clarity.


    And Shen Fu and Shen Ama took a few steps forward with excitement.


    "Like... It''s so alike." Father Shen muttered to himself, his hands trembling.


    Shen Ama was even more excited, and rushed to grab Zhong Ziqi''s hand and choked and said, "Brother Qi. I am your grandmother, he is your grandfather...you and your Eminem are really...really alike."


    Zhong Ziqi was a little overwhelmed by the excitement in front of her. She looked at Zhao Zhengan for help, and Zhao Zhengan shrugged her shoulders to express her helplessness. Zhong Ziqi can only call someone obediently first: "Grandfather, grandmother."


    "Hey..." Father Shen and Shen Aya responded at the same time.


    Zhong Ziqi said embarrassedly, "Grandfather, grandmother, let''s go in and talk."


    "Well, let''s enter the room and say." Shen Ama nodded, wiped away tears, and helped Shen''s father into the room.


    "Is this the new house you built?" Shen Ama asked, looking around.


    "Yes, just moved in not long ago." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile.


    Father Shen also looked at the surrounding environment furnishings and nodded: "Very good."


    A few people sat in the room and chatted for a few words. Zhong Ziqi saw that they were tired and said, "Grandfather, grandmother, you must be tired along the way. I''ll cook for you."


    "Brother Qi, you are not in a hurry. Your grandfather and I want to see your Eminem first." This is what they are anxious about. They want to see their son, whom they haven''t seen in more than ten years, and talk.


    Zhong Ziqi''s grandmother thought about it and her tears fell again.


    "Master, madam, your subordinates know the way, so let them take you there." Hongying said with a paralyzed face, and glanced at Zhong Ziqi, who was obviously inconvenient.


    Father Shen and Shen Ama obviously also knew that their grandson was pregnant: "Okay. You take us there, Ziqi rests at home."


    Zhao Zhengan''s plan to go with him was also rejected by Shen''s father.


    Only Hongying followed, and the butler stayed here.


    Zhong Ziqi obviously didn''t know him yet, and asked doubtfully: "This one is?"


    The big housekeeper smiled kindly: "My name is Shen Qing, I''m the housekeeper of Shen''s mansion, you can just call me the housekeeper, young master."


    "I''ll call you Uncle Shen." Zhong Ziqi said, calling the housekeeper a little uncomfortable.


    "Okay, just listen to the young master." The housekeeper squinted and smiled, and his eyes were a little red. Obviously, he also remembered Zhong Ziqi''s Eminem, but he had seen the big one since he was a child.


    Zhong Ziqi sat in the room and chatted with the housekeeper, and then went into the kitchen. He didn''t know how they tasted, so he could only cook a few dishes with heavy and light tastes.


    He was still a little drumming in his heart, not knowing how to get along with them, and his heart was messed up. He happened to calm down in the kitchen and get a clue. His grandfather and grandmother looked very amiable, although his grandfather looked a little serious, but Zhong Ziqi could see that he still treated him very softly, and he had never been as stern as Zhao Zhengan said. This way they can get along better.


    "Uncle Shen, how is his grandfather''s health these days? Is it better?"


    In the room, Zhao Zhengan asked the housekeeper that he and Zhong Ziqi were still very concerned about his grandfather''s body.


    "The body is okay, you also know that this is a heart disease, and he won''t be able to solve it for a while." The housekeeper sighed and shook his head.


    "Hey..." Zhao Zhengan also sighed: "I hope my grandfather will see Eminem and want to open up. No matter how you say, there will be me and Ziqi. The great-grandson will be out soon."


    The housekeeper also laughed: "Yes, the master actually likes children the most, but Master Bei has never been married."


    "Perhaps fate hasn''t arrived yet."


    "Perhaps¡­"


    About an hour later, Father Shen and the others helped each other back, and everyone tacitly ignored the red eyes of the two.


    "Grandfather, grandmother, you just came back, we will have dinner, you can taste Ziqi''s craftsmanship, it''s alright!" Zhao Zhengan changed the subject with a smile.


    The housekeeper nodded appreciatively. He still liked Zhao Zhengan very much. He was clever and clever, and had the eyesight. He would have to compliment anyone who saw him.


    "Okay, your grandfather and I will taste Ziqi''s craftsmanship." Shen Ama said with a strong smile.


    Soon, Zhong Ziqi¡¯s food was ready. Because he was in a hurry and didn¡¯t have many ingredients, he didn¡¯t make a few. He made a soup, two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and the braised pork prepared in the morning. Get a plate. Hongying and the housekeeper couldn''t eat with them because of their identity problems. Zhong Ziqi had already prepared and opened another table in the kitchen for the two of them.


    "Grandfather, grandmother, you **** craft, and don''t know if it suits your appetite." Zhong Ziqi served a few people and sat down and said.


    Shen Ama was the first to use chopsticks, and after only one bite of the dish, he immediately praised: "It''s delicious, Ziqi is good at craftsmanship. You can try it too."


    Shen Ama picked a chopstick dish for Father Shen. Father Shen heard the words and tasted it, and nodded: "It''s not bad."


    "As long as you like it, let''s eat it quickly, it will be cold in a while." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile, squinted.


    In the kitchen, the housekeeper was eating, and while eating, he said, "The craftsmanship of the young master is not inferior to the cook in our house. Why do I even think it tastes better than him. What do you mean by Hongying?"


    "..."


    Hong Ying didn''t answer, her face was expressionless, and the steward who was eating at a speed almost as fast as a locust crossing the border was speechless.


    But he was afraid of being eaten up by him, so he had to save his old face and grab food from him. Who told the young master that his dishes are so delicious.

 Chapter 81: trivia

    Having a beautiful dinner, Zhao Zhengan took the initiative to clean up the table and wash the chopsticks because he felt distressed for Zhong Ziqi.


    "Zheng''an, I''ll do it for you too." Shen Amo got up and followed Zhao Zheng''an into the kitchen.


    "Grandma, you don''t need to be busy, I''ll come here myself." Zhao Zhengan stopped Shen Ama from trying to help.


    "It''s better for me to come." The butler smiled and came up to help Zhao Zhengan.


    "Ah, how did you wear this look today?"


    Zhao Zhengan asked Shen while washing the dishes. He knew that his grandmother must have come to the kitchen to let Ziqi and grandfather be alone for a while. He didn¡¯t ask about it, but asked about a question that made him more helpless and puzzled. Father Shen today As soon as he appeared with Shen Ama, he noticed something wrong. The clothes he wore were all ordinary silk and satin. Although it was not a coarse linen, it was quite different from the previous silk and satin.


    Shen Ama didn''t realize that there was something wrong: "How about it? Do I and your grandfather dress up and look the same as you? This is called going to the countryside. Once I discuss with your grandfather, I can''t just wear gold and silver. Come on, let''s punch more here, dress like this, people think we are passing merchants or relatives at best?" After speaking, Shen Ama turned around like a child.


    "Very good..." Zhao Zhengan said with a smile.


    In the room, because Shen Ama went out, there were only two people, Father Shen and Zhong Ziqi, and they were silent for a while, because they were not familiar with each other, didn''t understand, and didn''t know what to say.


    In the end, Father Shen broke the silence first, and asked with some discretion: "Ziqi, you hum...has he mentioned us to you? Has he blamed me?"


    This is what he wants to know most. It is also the most difficult to let go of.


    Zhong Ziqi knew that Father Shen had lumps in her heart, so she thought for a while and said: "My Eminem mentioned you and grandmother, saying that you are very good, and I have spoiled him very much since I was a child, and said I don¡¯t know how you are. Be filial around you. I hope you don¡¯t blame him."


    Father Shen almost burst into tears when he heard the words, and after sitting on the kang for a long time, he eased his emotions and continued to cherish the guilt and said: "Don''t look like you are a brother, but we have been very fond of him since he was young. We will never stop him from doing what he wants. What he is not willing to do, we will not force him. The only time he was forced to do it in more than ten years was the marriage. Who would have thought that you, Eminem, was so courageous that he dared to run away. He was alone. As a brother, he is still a good-looking brother. It is so bitter and difficult. In case something happens..."


    There was nothing behind Shen''s father. Zhong Ziqi could think of a very beautiful brother who wandered alone in every corner of the town. He couldn''t eat enough to wear well, and he had to endure all kinds of men''s molesting. It was so difficult. .


    "Grandfather, don''t blame yourself too much. My Eminem has never blamed you. If he knows about you, he will definitely be sad when he sees you so sad." Zhong Ziqi said comfortingly.


    Father Shen let out his thoughts and sorrow for a long time before he hummed.


    After a while, Shen Ama and they also came back from the kitchen. They were idle, and they were all sitting on the kang and talking homely gossip.


    "Grandma, why didn''t my uncle come?" Zhao Zhengan asked. He and Zhong Ziqi thought that Shen Yubei would follow.


    "Bei''er is busy. There are things on the business side every day, so I can''t do without people, so I didn''t come." Shen Amei replied, and then asked, "How long has Ziqi been now?"


    Zhong Ziqi touched her stomach: "It''s been four months."


    "It''s been four months! I don''t know if it''s a brother or a kid."


    "Whether it is a brother or a kid, we will like it."


    Shen Ama and Shen''s father nodded, admiring their mentality.


    "Zheng''an''s headache has been cured?" Father Shen asked Zhao Zhengan after a glance. "


    Grandfather, it has been cured. The genius doctor is worthy of being a genius doctor. I only got it for a month. "Zhao Zhengan said with a smile.


    "If you have time, grandfather, grandmother, you should also go to the genius doctor with me, and see if there is anything wrong."


    "What can I do without inspection, I can live a day as a day." Father Shen waved his hand indifferently.


    Shen Ama followed in the opposite tune: "Okay. Go again someday and check it again, so we can rest assured."


    Father Shen could only snorted angrily when he was demolished by his husband.


    In the evening, Zhong Ziqi went to another room to spread the quilts. Both the sheets and the bedding were new. The two elderly people lived in this room.


    But Hongying and the housekeeper can''t live here anymore, they have no place to live, they can only live in the wing.


    "You said, how long will grandfather stay with them?" Zhong Ziqi closed the door and asked Zhao Zhengan.


    "I don''t know, but the estimate will not be too short." Zhao Zhengan said guessingly.


    "What? Don''t you like them?"


    Zhong Ziqi shook her head: "Of course not, I just ask and be prepared.".


    "It''s natural to know when the time comes."


    In the days that followed, as if verifying what Zhao Zhengan had said, the two old men didn''t seem to be leaving, they would help them every day, and if they didn''t know how to learn, they would just follow them.


    The homes of Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi were quite lively for a while.


    Because of the sudden arrival of the two elderly people, the progress of the stewed meat was put down, and now he had to regain the plan.


    First, find the problem of manpower. There are quite a few honest Bajiao brothers in the village. Zhao Zhengan found four or five brothers to come to work every day. They only need to walk for three to two minutes. They are very close and don''t have to worry about meals every day.


    The few people who were selected were extremely happy. Their brothers were able to earn money and work. Not to mention being close to home and earning a lot of money, they were so happy.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi taught them how to make it hand-in-hand, and the seasoning is already prepared, and no one can steal it.


    After only a day or two, everyone basically learned, and the Braised Meat Workshop officially opened.


    As Zhong Ziqi once said, good things are not afraid that no one will buy them. There are almost more people buying braised meat than twisting.


    A good start immediately made everyone enthusiastic.


    Shen''s father and Shen A-me also nodded straightly, thinking that the two children were good and business-minded. While they were helping, they occasionally pointed out a few shortcomings.


    And the big housekeeper has become the real big housekeeper, and he will take over everything outside the house.

 Chapter 82: marriage

    Time flies quickly. When Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi''s career are all on the right track, the time for Mang species has arrived.


    Now that Zhong Ziqi is almost six months old, it is impossible to go to the ground to help planting rice seedlings. Even if he wants to help, Zhao Zhengan and the others will not agree.


    Fortunately, there is not much land at home. With three acres of land, Zhao Zhengan can finish his work in one day with two people.


    Now Father Shen and Shen Ahma have officially lived in this small village, dressed like ordinary people, Hongying has already gone back, and the housekeeper stayed to help take over various trivial matters.


    From the beginning, the people in the village were surprised by the three strangers who suddenly appeared. Later, they learned that they were Zhong Ziqi¡¯s grandparents. They were used to their frequent visits to the village. I don¡¯t know when they found out that Lizheng would often talk to that said to be Zhong Ziqi. Grandpa''s man chatted a few words, and someone was curious to ask Lizheng what they were talking about. I had never seen someone so pleasant to Lizheng, especially a stranger from outside.


    Li Zheng said something confusing: "Mr. Shen Zhuowen is someone who has a college question..."


    Li Zheng accidentally spoke to Father Shen and realized that he was an educated person. Later, from time to time contact, Li Zheng felt that Shen Zhuo was knowledgeable in literature, and his speech and manners were extraordinary. Li Zheng felt that his instinct was not simple, and Shen Zhuowen was fundamentally more literate. It¡¯s not like an ordinary villager, and his handsome, elegant and noble husband, both show that they are not simple, but Rizheng can¡¯t guess what kind of identity this person will be. .


    "Did you find a good person to help you plant seedlings? The work will begin tomorrow."


    That night Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan lay on the kang and chatted.


    Zhao Zhengan touched his belly and felt the movement inside and said: "After you find it, you can pay for a few labors at that time."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded, then patted Zhao Zhengan''s increasingly irregular hands: "What else are you touching? I''m all asleep."


    Since he was pregnant for nearly six months, I don¡¯t know what day the little life in his stomach will start to come alive. He will roll over, kick a leg, punch to show his existence, Zhong Ziqi feels very Novelty, from the small disgust at the beginning, to the later novelty and complexity, and to the anticipation of love today, Zhong Ziqi can be said to have undergone several heart changes.


    These Zhao Zhengan were also happy in his eyes. He always felt that Zhong Ziqi didn''t like the child at first, but when he slowly adjusted to it, he gradually didn''t see the boredom in his eyes, but was full of humor. Love, the kind of anticipation for the child''s arrival.


    "Sleep...Sleep... I have to get up to work tomorrow."


    Zhong Ziqi glared at him and warned him not to mess around, but Zhao Zhengan''s thinking at some point was not something he could control.


    Zhao Zhengan wrapped Zhong Ziqi around like an octopus, undressed skillfully, and then began to exercise regularly.


    Since Zhong Ziqi was pregnant and had **** for the first three months, it made Zhao Zhengan miserable. When he finally had a hard time, Zhong Ziqi''s body couldn''t be too tossed, and he wanted to be dissatisfied every time.


    On the second day, when Zhong Ziqi got up, Zhao Zhengan had already left, so he and Shen A were left at home.


    "Grandma, where''s grandfather?" Zhong Ziqi yawned and rubbed his waist and walked out the door.


    Shen Ama served him the hot food. Now he is completely going to the countryside, and even learns to cook. Although it is far from Zhong Ziqi''s cooking, he can still eat it. This is his approach. This is the first time in the kitchen in fifty years. He himself is also a well-known brother. The Jiang family, which is well-known in Jiangnan, which almost monopolizes the silk and satin business, is his family. He has been spoiled since childhood. Where did he cook and eat. It¡¯s almost time for people to feed, and now I¡¯ve learned it slowly when I¡¯m here, watching others eat the food he cooks, I feel a sense of accomplishment inexplicably.


    "He, I went for a stroll in the stewed meat shop, don''t worry about him, I can''t stay idle."


    "Hmm... Grandma, have you eaten?" Zhong Ziqi asked while eating.


    Shen Ama laughed: "I have eaten it. The kid from Zhengan got up early, made a meal, and left after a bite."


    "Well... I''ll do it at noon, and send it to him at that time. If the three people get their hands and feet fast, they will be able to plug it in most of the day.


    The reason why they kept the three acres of land and did not sell it was because the three acres of land had enough food for him and Zhao Zhengan. Now that there are three more people and three mouths, they can''t afford it, but it doesn''t cost much to get busy with just three acres of land, just keep it.


    After dinner, Zhong Ziqi and Shen Amo went out and went to the stewed meat shop. There was a steward and Shen father staring at the stewed meat. There was nothing wrong with them. Both of them were old folks, and they knew it best. How to grasp people''s hearts.


    They can see whoever has the wrong eyes and who has strange little movements. This is a realm that Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi cannot reach.


    Zhong Ziqi and Shen Ama came out of the stewed meat workshop and went around their home. Now they are basically people. Except for the elderly and children, as long as there is a field at home, they are busy in the mountains at the moment. .


    Along the way, I rarely encountered other people, and occasionally encountered villagers passing by. As long as the relationship was not difficult, they would say hello to each other.


    Their homes were close, and the two of them arrived at the ground in a short while. Zhao Zhengan and the three of them were already far away. Zhong Ziqi did not call them either, but a family of three of Wang Cuihua, who was not far from their home, saw them, Wang Cuihua Unexpectedly, Zhao Cheng stretched his face, and continued to plant seedlings as if he hadn''t seen them.


    Wang Cuihua opened her mouth back and forth a few times, probably cursing something bad.


    A while ago, I heard that Zhong Ziqi¡¯s grandfather and grandmother were found. Both Wang Cuihua and Zhong¡¯s best product came to test the suit. They were scolded and run away by Shen''s father and Shen Ama, who had already understood what happened. Haven''t contacted either.


    After strolling around in the ground, Zhong Ziqi and Shen Ama went back to tidy up the tedious and trivial things at home. In a flash, it was noon. Zhong Ziqi cooked a stir-fried meat and a vegetable dish. Zhong Ziqi knew that Zhao Zhengan was pure meat. An activist, eating meat has the strength to work, so he made a meat dish to reward him.


    This is so beautiful that the two who came to work, followed by a fragrant lunch, and even told Zhao Zhengan after the meal that there would be such a job in the future, so just look for them.


    Zhao Zhengan smiled without answering.


    When I got home from work in the afternoon, I talked to Zhong Ziqi about this matter: "You didn''t see the way they shined brightly. Tell me you will find them next time you have a job. I think you will show it next time. We don¡¯t have to pay wages anymore."


    "Next time, you do it." Zhong Ziqi said angrily. It''s not because you don''t want to owe favors that you directly spend money to hire people.


    "Hey, hey, don''t say that planting rice seedlings is very tiring, but fortunately, if you didn''t go, my waist was about to break." Zhao Zhengan twisted and said.


    "Go on the kang, I''ll press it for you." Zhong Ziqi patted the kang and asked him to come up.


    Zhao Zhengan immediately took off his shoes and lay on the kang, Zhong Ziqi sat on him and massaged him.


    "How about it? Is it right?" Zhong Ziqi pressed his waist firmly.


    Zhao Zhengan squinted his eyes and snorted, "Um...comfortable...that''s right there...um"


    Outside the door, Father Shen and Shen Ama looked at each other and then both shook their heads, young people nowadays, how can they be so ignorant of temperance, what kind of demeanor is to declare prostitution in the day?


    Zhong Ziqi in the room slapped him fiercely: "Could it not be called so...like Fachun."


    Zhao Zhengan lazily said: "It''s a bit..."


    Zhong Ziqi pondered for a day and then screwed him with a black thread.


    Zhao Zhengan immediately oops, oops, begging for mercy.


    May has passed. In June, Zhao A-ma and Huang A-ma¡¯s family officially set a date. In July, Zhao Ning and Huang Jinlei married.


    At the same time, there is good news, An Ning is pregnant, and Zhao Amo¡¯s family is having double happiness. People who know each other are happy for their family.


    At the end of June, Shen Yubei came from the south, also silently, and when he suddenly appeared at the door of Zhao''s house, he surprised everyone a little.


    "Uncle...you won''t tell us when you come!" Zhong Ziqi said.


    "I said that you and Zhengan have to come to pick you up. Why are you doing that? I can''t find it." Shen Yubei said with a smile.


    "Then, you come here, my uncle...Is it okay over there at home?" Zhong Ziqi knew that the Shen family''s industry could not leave people for a long time.


    "Yeah? Uncle... how long can I live here this time?" Zhao Zhengan also asked.


    "This time... I can stay for about four or five days. I''ll see how you are doing."


    Father Shen frowned and suddenly said, "Did something happen? It''s all because you have something to say, just say it, is there a business problem?"


    Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, but they didn''t expect that Father Shen would say that. Did something really happen?


    "Son...what''s the matter? Don''t tell me and your father, just tell me!" Shen Ama asked anxiously.


    Shen Yubei waved his hand and couldn''t laugh or cry: "Don''t worry, business is getting better!"


    Several people were immediately relieved upon hearing this.


    "What''s going on? There must be something hidden from us." Shen Ama still knows his son well, knowing that he must have something to say.


    Shen Yubei pondered for a while and then slowly said, "I want to discuss something with you."


    "what''s up?"


    Shen Yubei smiled: "My business..."


    "Huh?" Several people stunned.


    "What''s the situation? Brat, tell me clearly?!" Father Shen patted the table and asked him. This happened too suddenly. The brothers who have been introduced to him for so many years have been pushed, so why do you suddenly think about it today? opened? Strange, who is so charming!


    "Son, which brother are you in your match? Tell Eminem quickly..." Shen Ama asked happily. Now children of the same age as Shen Yubei will run all over the floor, and their family is in the same family. No, how can we not make them impatient, they also want to hug their grandson!


    "This person... Dad, Eminem, you also know, it''s the Gao Hanjin of the Gao family."


    "What? Isn''t Han Jin a kid? You...he...he..." Shen Ama didn''t know what to say.


    Father Shen frowned and looked at Shen Yubei: "What''s going on, make it clear!"


    Shen Yubei knew that the two would react like this, and said helplessly: "Father, Eminem, Han Jin, he is a brother, not a kid." "What? He... he is a brother? What the **** is this? What''s the matter?" "That''s it. When I was young, Gao Ama hurt his body. The doctor said that he might never be able to conceive and have children. Uncle Gao and his family have a big family and need an heir. They can''t be a hundred years old. In the future, no one inherited the family business, so they raised Han Jin as a son and never disclosed the news to the outside world, so no one knew it, but unexpectedly, Gao Ama was pregnant again a few years ago. , I¡¯m still a kid, and Han Jin¡¯s burden is slowly let go, and I can regain my brother¡¯s identity and marry."


    Father Shen and what shook their heads suddenly, no wonder they always felt that Gao Hanjin, a kid who looks so feminine, turned out to be a brother.

 Chapter 83: Cause

    Why did Shen Yubei suddenly mention the marriage?


    This has to start with an incident not long ago.


    Gao Hanjin is a good-looking man, let alone my brother, even the kid can''t help but look at him a few more times.


    Because he was dressed up as a man, no one knew he was a brother.


    Not long ago, Gao Hanjin went out to discuss business. His business partner is also a man in his twenties. Compared with their famous family in the south of the Gao family, the other party''s family background is not as good, and slightly inferior to them.


    On the surface, this person looks like Yushu Linfeng, a kind of talent, whoever thinks that the other party is an out-and-out pervert.


    My hobby in my life is to like beautiful people. Originally, the body structure of the boy and the brother are similar, and that person is even more unscrupulous, and the boy and brother take everything.


    Since I met Gao Hanjin when discussing business, I have been coveting it. I almost stripped Gao Hanjin in my heart, but it still looks serious on the surface. Gao Hanjin is not like Gao''s father. Reading countless people, you can see the treacherous strangeness of others. , And he only took over the business for more than a year. Where there is such a wealth of experience, he doesn''t know what the **** the man is making.


    Until this day, they had a farewell meal in the restaurant, because the business was negotiated and the other party was about to go back. Before leaving, they invited Gao Hanjin to have a farewell meal. After all, it is a business partner, Gao Hanjin did not think so much and went.


    "Come on, Shao Jin, I''ll toast you a glass below." The man held up the flask to pour Gao Hanjin, and then held up his own glass.


    "Okay. Cheers." Gao Hanjin drank it without even thinking about it.


    The man smiled deeper.


    Gao Hanjin and the man clinked glasses and started to eat, but after not taking two bites, Gao Hanjin noticed something was wrong. Why was his body so hot? He loosened his neckline, but it was still useless. He just felt that it was getting hotter and hotter. The position also changed, and a desire arose in his heart. Gao Hanjin was horrified. No matter how slow he was, he realized that things were not right. He suddenly raised his head to look at the man who was still smiling and asked angrily: "You Drugged in the wine?"


    "Yes, I was under the medicine. What can you do? You want to shout? Let others see how Master Gao is in estrus?" The man said maliciously, and then got up and walked over, trying to plot a bad idea. .


    Gao Hanjin panted heavily and put his hand on the table: "You are really mean, you are not afraid that I will ruin you afterwards and kill you?"


    The man laughed and said, "Being a ghost under the peony flower is also romantic, and I will leave my mark on you." After saying that he stretched out the salty pig''s hand to touch Gao Hanjin''s face, Gao Hanjin kicked him when he was not prepared. His legs were bent, the man didn''t pay attention, he staggered, and knelt on the ground. Don''t think Gao Hanjin is a brother, but because he was treated as an heir since he was a child, he still knows how to use his fists and kicks. Don''t work hard, otherwise he can kick and climb down with one kick for such a strong person.


    While the man was kneeling on the ground, Gao Hanjin used all his strength and ran out. This restaurant is the restaurant of the Shen family, and the shopkeeper knows him, so he came alone today, otherwise he will bring Ah Zhuo with him. .


    "You stop for me!!" The man quickly got up and chased it out. He didn''t expect that Gao Hanjin, who had been treated with the medicine, would have the strength to resist.


    "Objective, loud noises are not allowed in the store." Xiao Er said sternly, not knowing when he ran behind the man.


    When the man saw Gao Hanjin ran away in this gap, he could only curse angrily. He didn''t expect that the cooked duck would fly, and Gao Hanjin would definitely not let him go. The man returned to the restaurant to pack his baggage and left in a hurry. Up.


    On the other hand, Gao Hanjin ran out staggering softly, feeling that all his reason and everything had dissipated, and his whole body was hot and uncomfortable.


    "Master, it is Young Master Jin." Two people walked up to the crowd not far away, one of them was Shen Yubei.


    It was Xiao Si from Shen Yubei who spoke.


    Shen Yubei looked forward, and it turned out that the rampant man was Gao Hanjin!


    He frowned and felt that something was wrong, and hurried to catch up, and stretched his hand over the man''s arm: "Han Jin, what''s the matter?"


    What Shen Yubei caught his eyes was Gao Hanjin''s flushed face, blurred eyes, and a peach blossom face. Shen Yubei is also a veteran in the shopping mall. He can tell at a glance that Gao Hanjin is an aphrodisiac in what kind of situation he has never encountered.


    "Han Jin...Han Jin...How are you?" Shen Yubei asked, patting him on the cheek.


    Gao Hanjin didn''t know if she could hear Shen Yubei''s voice, so she sobbed very aggrievedly, "I feel uncomfortable...Abei..."


    Shen Yubei couldn''t, so he had to hug him, Shen Mansion was the nearest here, so they could only go back to Shen Mansion.


    Back to the Shen mansion, Shen Yubei told Xiao Si to bring a basin of water, and then he carried Gao Hanjin into the room.


    Shen Yubei had been completely irrational by the medicine, and found that the arms that bound him had left, and immediately began to pull at his clothes indiscriminately. Shen Yubei quickly stopped him, but Gao Hanjin was entangled like an octopus. Up him. "Abei...Abei...uncomfortable...oooo..."


    Gao Hanjin kept mumbling to herself.


    Shen Yubei finally sighed when he looked at his appearance, unbuttoned his clothes, took off his shoes, and pulled down the bed curtain.


    In a short while, Gao Hanjin''s comfortable grunt came out. This grunt is all night.


    The next morning, when Gao Hanjin woke up, he still looked confused. He couldn''t remember what happened last night. He remembered that he was drugged by that pervert. Could it be that he was succeeded by that pervert?


    Shaking his aching body, Gao Hanjin thought so.


    But when he carefully looked at the surrounding environment and furnishings, he found that this was not Shen Yubei''s home. Could it be that it was Shen Yubei who was with him again last night?


    Gao Hanjin thought in surprise, and soon his idea was verified, because Shen Yubei came in from the outside and saw him lying on the bed with his eyes open. It was not surprising. He said very calmly, "You wake up." Now, get up and eat something."


    Gao Hanjin cruised shyly for a while and said, "You...we last night..."


    Shen Yubei said with a serious face this time: "I will be responsible for you." He is not the kind of person who flees in case of trouble. Now that it happened, he would have to bear it. Besides, Gao Hanjin had been waiting for him for so many years. Now that his heart knot is open, he can no longer entangle himself in secret.


    Gao Hanjin narrowed his mouth. From Shen Yubei''s expression, he could not see a hint of happiness. He had every reason to believe that Shen Yubei didn''t want to marry him so much, and his original high heart was also low and bored Said dullly: "If you don''t want to, forget it. This happened because of me. I can''t blame you. On the contrary, I would like to thank you for saving me.


    I can''t force you to say anything. "Shen Yubei shook his head and sighed: "I did it voluntarily. You have waited for me for so many years, and there should be a result. "


    Gao Hanjin immediately fell into his arms with tears of joy. He finally waited. He thought it was made of stone, but now it was finally melted by him.


    "Wait for me, my father, Eminem, they are all in the north. I will set off to the north tomorrow to discuss our marriage with them. You are at home and wait for me to propose marriage." Shen Yubei said comfortingly.


    "Okay, I''ll wait for you." Gao Hanjin was naturally very happy.

 Chapter 84: marriage

    Father Shen and Shen Ama didn¡¯t expect their son to move so fast. In this case, the marriage is also imminent. They have to go back to the South to prepare for the marriage, and they still don¡¯t know what the Gao family thinks. Although the relationship between the two is good, Gao The family had never mentioned Gao Hanjin to them, so now that this thing happened, I don''t know what Gao family meant.


    "Ziqi, your grandfather and I will make arrangements as soon as possible. When you arrive, your grandfather and I will come again to help you coax my little grandson." Shen Ama patted Zhong Ziqi''s hand and lived here. After so long, he has been reluctant to leave. Every day is full and happy.


    Father Shen on one side also nodded in agreement: "Your brother-in-law''s marriage will take two months at the earliest. At that time, your body is inconvenient. You two should stop coming. When they are married, come back with us. "


    In fact, he didn''t want to leave. Although this small village is very poor, some villagers still play tricks, but in his eyes these are nothing but tricks. The scenery here is beautiful, there are not so many annoying things, every day is leisurely, his eldest brother is here, his grandson is here, and his great grandson is also here, he is even more reluctant to leave.


    "Yes, Ziqi, you and Zhengan are raising a baby at home with peace of mind, until your uncle is married. Take your uncle directly to see you." Shen Yubei also said.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and said: "Okay, just my body, you want me to go, I can''t go, I will sit at home and wait for you."


    "After we leave, you should be careful of the danger at home. Don''t look at us with trepidation." Shen Ama warned worriedly.


    Zhao Zhengan answered: "Grandma, you and grandfather can go home without worry, I will take care of him."


    "You and I don''t worry about it, you don''t have to worry about him. It''s not convenient to get pregnant now, so be careful."


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi blushed in embarrassment when they heard this. It is really shameful to be taught this by their elders.


    Shen Yubei has lived here for two days. He also has a special liking for Zhong Ziqi''s newly researched braised pork. The unique taste is that he has never tasted it. So when the three set off on the third day, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan packed a small altar of braised pork and gave it to Hongying. I also brought a lot of twisted fritters and kept them on the road to eat.


    But the housekeeper did not leave, staying to help them continue to take care of the family business.


    In this way, the three of Shen''s father went back to the south without giving up to each other. The house was suddenly empty. Zhong Ziqi was still a little uncomfortable. He was used to having his grandmother and grandfather company every day.


    He still liked the two old men very much in his heart. Although his grandfather was a little serious, he was not annoying. His grandmother laughed every day. He didn''t like it. I''m all gone now, let alone it''s really hard to adapt.


    Besides, in the south, after Father Shen and the others went back, they quickly negotiated with the Gao family¡¯s parents. The Gao family¡¯s two had been prepared for a long time. They had heard the eldest son talk about it, and at the same time they were angry and annoyed with the bad guy, they were particularly distressed. My brother, I can¡¯t help but reflect on whether it was a wrong decision for them to raise Gao Hanjin as a kid for so many years. He can¡¯t dress himself like a normal brother, nor can he behave like a brother. Such a leisurely life, they have received strict education since they were young, and when they had a young son, they gradually relaxed the restraint on Gao Hanjin, but everything seemed to be too late. In the cognition of outsiders, he was a kid. Every word and deed is in the form of a kid, so who can marry him?


    They are already ready to find someone as a parent, but they are inevitably ridiculed.


    Later, they didn¡¯t know when, they found that Gao Hanjin seemed to have someone he liked, but when he talked about that person, his face was full of sadness. They thought that maybe things were not going well, would it be that? People look down on Jin''er from their family. Later, they accidentally knew that the person might be Shen Yubei of the Shen family, because they discovered that Gao Hanjin often went to the Shen family to find Shen Yubei, and they knew what it was. Going on. Gao''s mother once told Gao Hanjin whether or not they should propose marriage, but Gao Hanjin refused. Now she has gone around and is back here.


    Now that both parties agree, the marriage can be done. The Gao family was a little surprised that the Shen family was so anxious.


    Shen Ama explained to them: "My grandson is about to give birth in more than three months. My father and I want to go back to the north before our death. There are two people in that child''s family, and we have no relatives. Don''t worry."


    The second elder of the Gao family suddenly realized that Gao Hanjin told them that the Gao family had found the trace of the eldest brother, but unfortunately he had passed away, leaving behind a child. They went to the north without seeing them for a long time.


    "Okay, then let''s find a closer day. This month is not good. It''s too rushed. Let''s see if there is a good day next month." Father Gao understands that he has to plan well here. Gao Hanjin is a story about my brother.


    ¡­The scorching sun and the sound of cicadas mean that summer is here again. The backyard of Zhong Ziqi''s house has a place for growing vegetables, which is already green by this time. This was all planted by Zhao Zhengan and the housekeeper, and Zhong Ziqi just stood by and commanded it.


    If you look closely, you will see that some of the ridges are still a bit crooked. There are other places where small saplings have been planted. Some saplings are mature and some are still seedlings. These saplings have been dug up by Zhao Zhengan in the mountains for several days. Especially mature ones, as long as they can live, they will bear fruit in autumn.


    Seeing Zhong Ziqi''s eyes and heart, mature fruit trees are not easy to dig, because their root systems are well developed and the packing is not easy to get around. It took Zhao Zhengan a long time to dig out little by little.


    Zhong Ziqi was really moved. Not long afterwards, Zhao Ning''s marriage arrived. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan are busy again. It''s impossible for Zhong Ziqi''s current body, Zhao Ama, to invite him to take the lead, and only let him go over and talk to Zhao Ning. The night before the wedding, Zhong Ziqi slept with Zhao Ning. Zhong Ziqi could see that although Zhao Ning was happy, he was still obviously worried. "Xiao Ning, are you nervous?"


    Zhong Ziqi lay on the bed and asked Zhao Ning with a smile.


    Zhao Ning nodded: "Some, besides, I can''t bear to leave my father and me."


    Zhong Ziqi knows that this should be regarded as the thought that all married people will have. They are panicked and afraid of the unknown future, and subconsciously do not want to leave the harbor that can protect him: "Is there anything I can''t bear, even if you marry, you will still be there every day." Meet Zhao Ama and the others, and the town is so close to home. Whenever you want to come back, you will come back whenever you want. What are you afraid of? Huang Ama and Uncle Huang treat you like your own son, and Brother Lei, he If he is obedient to you, I am afraid that he will not bully you? If Huang Jinlei really dares to bully you, come back and tell us that all of us will help you out." Zhao Ning couldn''t help but feel happy:


    "Okay, okay, I know you are great, don''t worry about me, I won''t be wronged, Lei brother is very nice."


    "Hey... I haven''t gotten married yet, so I will try my best to help others speak." Zhong Ziqi said deliberately, winking and winking. Zhao Ning blushed and stared at him: "Nonsense, go to sleep


    Feel, I have to get up early tomorrow..." "Well, go to sleep..."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded. The next day, before dawn, Zhong Ziqi, who felt light, heard the door ring. He guessed that it might be Zhao Ama who got up. After a while, he heard a sound from the kitchen. Zhong Ziqi listened to the occasional sound from the kitchen and fell asleep again. When he woke up, Zhao Ning had already gotten up to wash.


    "You''re awake, Ziqi, get up and eat some food." Zhao Ning said cheerfully.


    "Okay. Wait for a while." Zhong Ziqi hurriedly got up and put on clothes. He was thinking of getting up early, but who would have thought that he had overslept again. But at this time the sky has just lighted up, Zhao A¡¯ma¡¯s food has been prepared, and even Zhao Sheng and Zhao Baogen are already up, only Zhong Ziqi and An Ning are the two pregnant husbands, they did not call them, I hope they can Rest more.


    "Ah, it''s so early." Zhong Ziqi asked with a yawn.


    "It''s getting late. Xiao Ning has to take a shower and change clothes to dress up after dinner. That would be a waste of time. After a while, it will be dawn. After it''s light, friends who are usually good will come over, so I can''t do it early.


    "Shen Amo said. Zhong Ziqi nodded her head taught, thinking about him when he got married, but there weren¡¯t so many things, the Zhong family didn¡¯t bother to make such a lockup, and Wang Cuihua was not willing to waste money more grandiosely, so he only changed All clothes, let alone bathing and changing clothes, I didn¡¯t even eat breakfast, that sad...


    After dinner, Zhong Ziqi sat lazily on the kang dozing off, waiting for Zhao Ning to freshen up. Zhong Ziqi couldn''t remember how long it took, because he slept again. When he woke up, he saw Zhao Zhengan beside him, and many people in the room were already watching the excitement. Zhong Ziqi looked around, but didn''t find Zhao Ning, and didn''t know where he had gone.


    "Wake up?" Zhao Zhengan asked when Zhong Ziqi woke up. "Well, when did you come? Where''s Xiao Ning?


    ? "Zhong Ziqi asked. "Not long after I came, Xiao Ning went to another room, it was too noisy here. "


    Zhong Ziqi nodded: "Is the groom coming soon?"


    "It should be soon. Are you bored, do you want to go out for a round?" Zhao Zhengan asked, knowing that he didn''t like this noisy scene.


    "Okay. Let''s go out." Zhong Ziqi put on his shoes, went through the noisy crowd, and went to the yard. It''s really not a long time!


    Huang Jinlei came to meet him, riding a horse and wearing a red robe. There was a sedan chair behind him. In this era, there are no complicated questions about receiving relatives, and you can just pick them up directly.


    Therefore, Zhao Ning got on the sedan chair with Huang Ama and they were crying and crying.


    Huang Jinlei also hired a few carriages to drive people to the town for banquets.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan didn''t go to grab the place on the carriage with the group of people, but drove the carriage by themselves.


    Arriving at the door of Huang''s house, there was a deafening sound of firecrackers. Zhao Ning and Huang Jinlei were crossing the cargo basin and carrying them on their backs. It was finally time to get married.


    Just listen to the master of ceremonies yelling "One worship to heaven and earth."


    The two kowtow to the world outside.


    "Second worship Gaotang."


    The two quickly kowtow to both Daddy Amu sitting in the middle.


    "Husband and wife worship!"


    With a red hijab, Zhao Ning turned around embarrassedly and bowed to Huang Jinlei.


    "After the ceremony! Send it to the bridal chamber!"


    This is regarded as finishing all the processes, Zhao Ning can wait for Huang Jinlei in the room with peace of mind, and Huang Jinlei will go out to accompany the wine.


    "Do you know if you drink less?" Zhong Ziqi asked Zhao Zhengan.


    "Don''t worry about my daughter-in-law, I have to drive, just touch a glass." Zhao Zhengan said with self-knowledge.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded.


    After eating the banquet, Zhong Ziqi greeted Zhao Ama and went back first, and there was no need for them to be busy here. Just drove home first.

 Chapter 85: Buy land

    Summer is here, and on the back mountain of Zhaojia Village, there is another fruitful fruit. Some are young and immature, and some are already red and ripe.


    Because I sold a few small jars of fruit wine last year and made tens of taels of silver, this year Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan discussed to continue brewing. Although they are not short of the money, it is not because of the money.


    And this year, you can make more brews so you can leave some to drink at home. Grandfathers and grandmothers can drink them. Soon they will come, uncle and uncle. It is inevitable for people to drink more. When they like it, they may have to take some back.


    Zhong Ziqi, who is attentive in all aspects, has thought about it. There is too much stuff to drink, the longer it is, the more mellow it will be.


    This year, we need a lot of fruits for wine making. Zhao Zhengan simply hired a few people from the village to go up the mountain to pick them. He picked more than a dozen baskets. There were a lot of these things, but in reality, there was not much after making the wine.


    Zhong Ziqi now has a bulging belly like blowing a balloon, often suffering from backache and leg pain. Zhao Zhengan massages him every day to relieve the aches and at the same time avoids letting him work, as long as he walks back and forth appropriately every day.


    Nowadays, he can''t find him to make brews, so Zhong Ziqi moved a small stool to direct him.


    The method of wine making is not complicated. Although Zhao Zhengan was stupid last time, he still had some impressions. With Zhong Ziqi''s command, there was no technical error.


    After brewing, put the altar in the shady wing. Two jars of wine were buried under the tree in the garden by Zhao Zhengan. In Zhao Zhengan''s words, wait until their children can run and jump, and then dig them out when they are sensible.


    While Zhong Ziqi was funny, she also went with him.


    In August, the two children of the Zhong family, Zhong Zijun and Zhong Ziheng, became relatives one after another. One married and the other married to the outer village. The Zhong family did not come to give any information to Zhong Ziqi, so Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan also I didn''t want to be boring and stayed at home happily.


    Zhong Ziqi heard that Zhao Ning, who was well-informed, said that Zhong Zijun, who was married, had married a mean family. The family gave a generous betrothal gift. The Zhong family was really speechless. After contacting him for a period of time, he married her brother. I have never understood the specific situation of the family carefully. I heard people from a village with that family say that the people in this family¡¯s family are not good. The two elderly people like to pick and choose, find faults, and usually have a special life at home. He is frugal and rich, but he is reluctant to spend it. He is too busy to search and search. One can imagine what kind of treatment Zhong Zijun will encounter after he gets married. But all this has nothing to do with Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan. They can sympathize a little bit, but they won''t be nosy with mice.


    Zhong Ziqi has been a bit sad during this period of time, his legs are swollen, and now he needs to walk with his waist when he goes out and walks, Zhong Ziqi deeply understands the difficulty of women. Then it hurts more than when giving birth, Zhong Ziqi thought.


    Zhao Zhengan feels distressed for Zhong Ziqi. As long as he spares time every day, he will sit on the kang and massage his hands and feet. Now his family''s daily income has been fixed, more than fifty taels of silver, and now the family has already saved a lot of money.


    "Daughter-in-law, have you thought about buying land?" Zhao Zhengan asked. I said before that I would buy land and rent it out when I was rich. This money is the safest and safest.


    Zhong Ziqi lay lazily. After enjoying Zhao Zhengan''s more proficient massage techniques, he said after a long while: "What do you think? Will you be too busy?"


    Zhong Ziqi still yearned for that kind of landlord life, leisurely and at ease.


    "I have no problem. If you buy it, it would be good. Now there is a phenomenon in our village or other villages. There are more and more people, but the land is not enough. If you buy land, it is too expensive. They have a year''s harvest. It is not necessarily impossible to buy it. So if we buy the land and then sublet it out, there will definitely be many people coming to buy it." Zhao Zhengan analyzed to Zhong Ziqi.


    "Well, if like you said, we can buy it back, and we can make a lot of money every year if we sublet it."


    "Well, I think so too, so I want to ask what you think." Zhao Zhengan said.


    "Then buy it, anyway, the money is enough." Zhong Ziqi finally nodded in agreement.


    "Well... I''ll go to the county to ask the master tomorrow." Zhao Zhengan nodded and said.


    The next day, Zhao Zhengan entered the town with a full bank note in his arms. The master in the Yamen had already known Zhao Zhengan, because Zhao Zhengan would often bring good things to bribe them. Even the county grandfather knew Zhao Zhengan and treated him nicely.


    "Brother Zhengan, what''s the matter for coming so early today?" Master asked, touching his moustache.


    Zhao Zhengan smiled and handed the delicious food he had brought to Master: "Yes, the kid is here today to see Master for something."


    The master took the things and put them aside and said, "What''s the matter?"


    "Master, this is the case, I want to buy land, I don''t know if there is a suitable one." Zhao Zhengan said.


    "Oh? Want to buy land? How much?" Zhao Zhengan shook his head: "I have to buy a lot. I want to rent it out."


    "Lease out? Don''t even say that I have some suitable ones here, not far from your Zhaojia Village. They are all next to each other, do you want?"


    "Yes, of course." Zhao Zhengan said in surprise. He originally thought that there was not much land around, but he was told that there is today. Naturally, he was very happy.


    Zhao Zhengan discussed with his master in the county for a long time, and finally bought hundreds of acres of land. Zhao Zhengan happily went home with the title deed and showed it to Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi took the title deed and read it twice and said he was also very happy.


    Now that the land was bought, Zhao Zhengan went to Lizheng''s house and notified Li Zheng''s first. Zhao Zhengan also told Li Zheng''an to tell each other. Li Zheng¡¯s family heard that Zhao Zheng¡¯an had bought so much land. Without saying anything else, they first ordered more than ten acres of land, and then ordered a few acres for their son. They were short of land, so Zhao Zheng¡¯an sent charcoal in the snow. Since Zhao Zheng¡¯an Ask him to help publicize, then he will naturally not break his promise. The villagers who come and go often will tell Lizheng. As soon as the villagers hear that there is land to buy, they immediately surround Zhong Ziqi¡¯s house, usually some wealthy people or People with less land come to inquire in detail.


    Zhao Zhengan reported a price. Some people hesitate to hear how much an acre of land costs a year, and some people are scared by the price, but they still agree to buy more.


    Because of the price quoted by Zhao Zhengan, they would understand after careful consideration that their annual income per mu of land is definitely more than the rent. Since it is suitable, they will naturally buy it. Zhao Zhengan still used this method for propaganda in neighboring villages. The village chief who sought out first asked the village chief to help with the propaganda. It didn¡¯t take long for hundreds of acres of land to be rented out, which was beyond Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi. As expected, the response is very good and the speed is also very fast. Most people in the village maintain respect for Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan. From then on, they are Zhao Zhengan and their farm hires and must be treated with care.


    It''s just that after they booked it, they can''t grow anything this year, at best they can grow some vegetables in the fall. In a flash, time flies quickly, and it''s September.


    September is coming soon. Zhong Ziqi predicts that his grandfather and the others will be coming soon. Two days ago, he wrote to say that the wedding had been done, and he just rushed back when he was ready, and my uncle and my uncle would also follow.


    Zhong Ziqi is still a little expecting what will happen to his uncle.

 Chapter 86: About to give birth

    At the beginning of September, Father Shen and the others came back from the south, accompanied by Shen Yubei and Gao Hanjin.


    The moment Zhong Ziqi saw Gao Hanjin exclaimed, "Is it you?" He remembered it, but Gao Hanjin was so outstanding, it was almost the best-looking person he had seen. So his memory is very fresh.


    Gao Hanjin looked familiar with Zhong Ziqi. After thinking about it for a while, he exclaimed, "Is it you?"


    Father Shen and Shen Ama didn¡¯t understand, so: "Do you two know each other?"


    "We''ve seen it that time when I came to the north for a business trip and came here to rest. I happened to meet him selling noodles at the dock. I didn''t expect that he was the person you were looking for." Gao Hanjin said in surprise, just thinking that this is also the case. What a coincidence.


    Only Shen Yubei knew what was going on. He stood up and explained: "It''s also thanks to that time, you told me that you met Ziqi here, otherwise I won''t find them yet."


    Everyone suddenly realized that Shen''s father and Shen Ama didn''t know that there was such a thing, and they couldn''t help but sigh that the future daughter-in-law met a grandson who had never met before and directed them to find it. This is not fate or something!


    Zhong Ziqi was also very surprised. The impression Gao Hanjin left on them was not so pleasant, because in their eyes Gao Hanjin was very arrogant, and there was a brother who was downright, dressed in silk and satin sitting on their small noodle stall. , Out of place, and a look of disgust, left a deep impression on them.


    He thought he would have nothing to socialize from now on, but now he has become his brother-in-law by accident.


    "Ziqi, how about it? It''s fine during the time we weren''t there?" Shen Ama asked caringly. They always thought of Zhong Ziqi in the north from the south, so not long after their son got married, they took it. The son and daughter-in-law are back.


    "I''m a good grandmother, don''t worry about you and grandfather." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile, and couldn''t help touching her belly with her hand.


    "Have you gone to see the doctor? Have you found the midwife? Don''t be too late when you are born."


    Zhao Zhengan answered and said: "I have already found it, and I live in the village next door. I went to see the doctor in the town a few days ago. The doctor said that I might be giving birth in about mid-September, so I will go there in two days. Take the midwife and let him stay here for a few days."


    "I think it''s okay, if you pick it up during production, it won''t be too late." Shen Ama agreed.


    "Don''t talk about it, I will cook for you grandmother, and have a good rest after the meal."


    Zhao Zhengan said, since Zhong Ziqi''s belly is getting bigger and bigger, Zhao Zhengan dare not neglect at all, he went out alone for fear of slipping. The kitchen here has long forbidden Zhong Ziqi to enter and leave. Anyway, including the housekeeper, three people will eat, and Zhao Zhengan¡¯s craftsmanship is still possible. Everyone is not such a picky person. If you can¡¯t eat, it¡¯s fine to eat, so the family has always been Zhao. Zhengan is in charge.


    "I''m going to help Zhengan busy." Shen Ama got up and wanted to go with him.


    Zhong Ziqi stopped him: "Grandma, don''t worry about him, he still cooks home-cooked dishes well, let''s just sit and wait for him to make it."


    "Then we will wait." Everyone laughed.


    Gao Hanjin looked at the surrounding houses with some curiosity, and asked familiarly: "Ziqi, your house is really big enough." It was not the same as the villages he had seen.


    "Fortunately, there is a lot of land in the village, so it was built a bit bigger." Zhong Ziqi said with a smile.


    "Em, you don''t know, Dad, when I first met Ziqi, he was still selling noodles at the wharf... Don''t look at their young age, but their business is the hottest in the whole wharf, only when they return. I haven''t seen them." Gao Hanjin Barabala said of the first contact with Zhong Ziqi.


    Zhong Ziqi listened with a smile, and occasionally added a couple of jokes.


    Shen Ah Mo and Father Shen also listened with gusto, only Shen Yubei shook his head helplessly and sat next to Gao Hanjin, watching him chattering softly.


    The kitchen¡¯s Zhao Zhengan cooks food very quickly. It takes a long time to prepare three or four dishes, as well as the braised pork that everyone loves. Shen Amao took the lead in taking a bite and can¡¯t help boasting: ¡°Zheng¡¯an¡¯s The craftsmanship has improved a lot, but the grandmother''s craftsmanship has not regressed either."


    The craftsmanship of the two of them in the family has always been half-hearted.


    "Your grandmother''s craftsmanship is really unfamiliar. You cook a few dishes every three to five, and you learned a lot from the cook." Father Shen also rarely said jokingly.


    "Then I''ll make it clear that I have to taste Ama''s dishes. By the way, there is still wine at home, made in-house, not intoxicating, I will bring you to taste it." Zhao Zhengan went to the wing room and opened a jar shortly before opening it. Cherry liquor.


    "You made wine? When did you make it?" Father Shen asked in surprise, looking at the wine that Zhao Zhengan poured out, with some redness.


    "It was brewed in July. Only one jar was opened two days ago, and the rest will be sold."


    "Huh? Not to mention, this wine is really delicious, it has a sweet taste." Gao Hanjin said in amazement. He had to drink very strong wine for a long time, and he had to drink it in business, but In fact, he doesn''t like to drink that kind of wine. Unexpectedly, Zhong Ziqi''s wine is particularly in line with his taste.


    After hearing Gao Hanjin''s words, other people also took a sip one after another. Shen''s father and Shen Yubei only thought it was peculiar, while Shen A''ma and Gao Hanjin thought it was very good and liked it very much. When Shen Yubei saw that Zhao Zhengan asked for an altar this time, he planned to...


    Towards mid-September, Zhao Zhengan drove to the neighboring village and took the midwife home. The midwife had heard of Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi''s names. Naturally, they were very happy to come. Their family is not an iron rooster, so give The rewards will certainly not be less.


    Besides, Zhong Ziqi always felt uncomfortable in her stomach in the past two days, and she didn''t know if it was rising or hurting. Anyway, she was not very comfortable.


    "Ziqi, what are you going to do?" Gao Hanjin watched Zhong Ziqi get out of bed with her waist and hurried over to support him.


    "Well... the stomach seems uncomfortable after eating something bad, I''ll go to the toilet." Zhong Ziqi rubbed his stomach and said.


    "Did you eat too much chili last night? I told you to eat less." Gao Hanjin said, he and Shen Yubei have been here for almost half a month, just wait for Zhong Ziqi to give birth, and this time He and Zhong Ziqi have already become good friends who talk about everything.


    "Maybe, I didn''t think I ate too much, so I ate two bites."


    "You are pregnant with a child, and there are many couples."


    Gao Hanjin helped Zhong Ziqi to go to the toilet: "Be careful, I''ll wait for you outside, call me if I have anything."


    After talking about Gao Hanjin, she went out and stood outside the toilet.


    Zhong Ziqi went into the hut and unfastened her belt, slowly squatting down, and squatting for a long time without any desire to urinate. On the contrary, her stomach hurts more and more, and the child in her stomach is not being honest.


    Zhong Ziqi immediately felt that he might have gone into a misunderstanding. This was not about going to the bathroom at all, but about having a baby.


    He gritted his teeth and leaned on the wall, reluctantly tied his clothes, and then shouted outside: "Uncle, uncle."


    "What''s wrong, Ziqi?" Gao Hanjin asked outside.


    Zhong Ziqi said weakly: "You come in and help me back, I may be about to give birth."


    "What?" Gao Hanjin raised his tone and surprised everyone else in the room.


    "What''s the matter? It''s a surprise?" Shen Ah asked grotesquely.


    Gao Hanjin went into the toilet and helped Zhong Ziqi out while shouting: "Eminem, Dad, Xiang Gong, Ziqi said he is about to give birth."


    "What? Are you going to give birth? Hurry up... help into the house, son, hurry up and get Zhengan back, and invite the doctor over by the way." Although Shen Ama was also anxious, he still ordered in an orderly manner. He after all It was the two children who lighted the fire, and naturally understood the matter.


    Father Shen was also very nervous and sweating. For fear of any accident, Shen Ah Mo said to him, "Old man, go into the kitchen and boil hot water, hot porridge."


    "Okay." Father Shen nodded and walked into the kitchen quickly.


    The midwife who lived in the wing hurried over to get alive when she heard the movement.


    Zhao Zhengan was still talking to the steward at the stewed meat shop at this time, and Shen Yubei walked over in a hurry: "Zhengan, go home quickly."


    "What? What happened?" Zhao Zhengan asked Shen Yubei anxiously when he saw Shen Yubei.


    "Ziqi is about to give birth, go back quickly, and where is the doctor, you have to find the doctor." It''s just that before Shen Yubei spoke, Zhao Zhengan ran away like a bow and arrow from the string. Up.


    Shen Yubei''s face was dumbfounded. "Master, you go back first. The old slave knows where the doctor lives. I''ll go ask the doctor and go back soon."


    "That''s great, go butler, go and go back soon." Shen Yubei exhorted and started to walk home in a hurry.


    The housekeeper confessed to the people in the stewed meat shop, and then went to the village to find the doctor.

 Chapter 87: gave birth

    "How''s it going?" Zhao Zhengan hurried home and asked, if Gao Hanjin hadn''t stopped him, he might have broken into the delivery room directly.


    "Just now it was said that it was too early. I am heating up porridge here, and I will have to let Ziqi have a bite." Father Shen stood at the door of the kitchen and looked at the closed door. He was also anxious and worried about his grandson''s body. , And happy for the arrival of his grandson. The mood can be described as mixed.


    Zhao Zhengan walked around the yard anxiously, listening to Zhong Ziqi''s depressive and painful screams in his ears, Zhao Zhengan only felt that his heart was breaking, and wanted to take his place in all the pain.


    Shen Yubei, who came back from outside, saw Zhao Zhengan with an anxious expression and comforted him: "Don''t worry, Ziqi will be fine."


    "Yeah." Zhao Zhengan responded, but his anxiety remained unabated.


    Soon, the housekeeper brought the village doctor over. The village doctor was also an experienced old man. He was about sixty years old. There was a headache in Zhaojia Village. Whoever gave birth to a child would look for him. The old doctor was very experienced.


    In the room, Zhong Ziqi was so painful that he had no strength. Even though he had been prepared before, he had to feel a little discouraged at this time. It was so painful. Zhong Ziqi was thinking for a moment, would he just Does the pain die here?


    He really has no strength.


    "Ziqi? How are you? Hold on!" Shen Ama worriedly touched Zhong Ziqi''s sweaty face.


    "Grandma, I... I''m weak... I''m weak..." Zhong Ziqi said intermittently.


    "Is there any food in the kitchen? Bring it up and let him have a bite." The old doctor asked.


    "Yes, if the child is not strong enough, the child will not be born. The longer the child is not born, the more life-threatening will be." The midwife said of her own experience.


    "I told them it''s hot, I''ll let them bring it over." Shen Ama opened the door and shouted to the men waiting anxiously in the yard: "Bring the porridge over, hurry up!!"


    Father Shen brought the cool rice porridge in the kitchen immediately: "Hanjin. You carry it in."


    "Yes, father." Gao Hanjin took the porridge and hurried into the house.


    Zhao Zhengan stared at the opening and closing of the door, wishing to see any clues from there. It was just that he was destined to be disappointed and saw nothing.


    "Ziqi, this child is a blessed person, and he will definitely be fine." The housekeeper murmured.


    Soon, Gao Hanjin came out of the house, and Zhao Zhengan quickly asked: "How is the situation? Has it been born?"


    Gao Hanjin shook her head: "The child hasn''t come out yet, Ziqi has no strength, and needs to eat to replenish her strength."


    Gao Hanjin remembered that he had just entered the room. Zhong Ziqi''s face was pale as if he was half-life, and she shuddered in her heart, but she didn''t say it sensibly, because the doctor said that there was no major problem for the time being, so he didn''t need to say it. Only increased worry.


    He quietly walked in the corner for a while. Shen Yubei didn''t know when to stand behind him: "Is the situation inside?" He knew Gao Hanjin, and he could guess what he thought. Gao Hanjin''s expression was not right when he came out of the room, and he guessed that he might be frightened.


    Sure enough, Gao Hanjin wrapped his arms around his neck and said dullly: "The doctor said that there is no life-threatening danger for the time being, but he is out of strength. I was scared by the situation inside, so it will be fine.


    "Shen Yubei hugged him and patted him on the back.


    Zhong Ziqi in the room was fed a bowl of porridge by Shen Ama. She did regain her strength and started a new effort. Zhong Ziqi could feel the child in his stomach moving down, and he did not depress himself. Go out.


    "Ah!!! Ah!!! Hmm!"


    "Brother Qi, work harder and see the baby''s head." The midwife and Shen Ama said in surprise.


    After hearing this, Zhong Ziqi immediately cheered up and worked harder.


    Perhaps when it was time, Zhong Ziqi felt a piercing pain in her lower body, and then the child was born.


    Everyone couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this.


    "Wow!!!"


    The cry of the baby resounded throughout the courtyard, and listening to the puffy cry, people both inside and outside the house were relieved.


    Zhao Zhengan wanted to rush into the house with a grin. At this time, the door was opened, and the grandmother came out holding the wrapped child: "It''s a brother, look at me, take a look at me so I can take it back. Don''t catch a cold."


    "It''s ugly..." Gao Hanjin couldn''t help but said, the baby in front of her was really wrinkled and red like a monkey just born.


    "Nonsense, my great grandson must be very beautiful when he grows up, but he won''t be able to see it right now." Shen Ama said funny.


    Zhao Zhengan looked at his child fondly for a while, and then applied to enter the house.


    The doctor in the room also showed Zhong Ziqi to finish, and saw Zhao Zhengan come in. The midwife and the doctor all said congratulations: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on your son."


    Zhao Zhengan grinned, took out the money he had prepared from his arms and handed it to the two of them: "Thanks for your hard work."


    "It should be." The two said modestly, and they were particularly happy to receive generous rewards. They rejected Zhao Zhengan''s meal and went back.


    In the room, Zhao Zhengan threw himself down on Zhong Ziqi and said happily: Ziqi, we have a son. "But I worried him to death.


    "Well... I gave birth to a brother. Will you dislike it?" Zhong Ziqi asked what was in her heart, fearing that Zhao Zhengan would be uncomfortable.


    "Okay, I like it very much. How can I dislike it? It''s too late to love." Zhao Zhengan said with tears of joy. A seven-foot man who never shed tears is now also happy and excitedly shed tears. As long as it is born to Zhong Ziqi, he will love it wholeheartedly, how can he dislike it.


    "Zheng''an, I am tired and want to rest for a while." Zhong Ziqi said, he is very tired now, and his body still hurts a lot. I especially want to sleep and rest.


    "Then you hurry up and rest, I will tidy up the house." Zhao Zhengan volunteered.


    Zhong Ziqi nodded and closed her eyes in relief.


    When Zhong Ziqi woke up again, it was getting late, all his clothes had been changed, and the sheets and the floor had been cleaned up. The child was lying next to him, Zhengxiang who was sleeping with her small fist in her hands.


    Zhong Ziqi''s eyes looked awkwardly at Xiao Budian. Although the child who just went out was not very good in everyone''s eyes, how he looked so good and cute.


    "Lovely? Grandma and they all said, our children are like eminems!" Zhao Zhengan said happily without knowing when he would come in.


    "Really? I didn''t see it." Zhong Ziqi shook his head.


    "It''ll be fine until it opens. It hasn''t been opened for a while. Come... Have some food first, and drink some medicine after you finish." Zhao Zhengan put the rice he was holding on the table, and slowly helped him. Start Zhong Ziqi and feed him a spoonful of food.


    Zhong Ziqi still doesn''t have any appetite, so he simply took a bite and then stopped taking it. Zhao Zhengan handed him the decoction to drink.

 Chapter 88: Full moon

    The child Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan was destined to be pampered when they were born, especially since the child was very similar to the dead Shen Ama, and Shen''s father and Shen mother were even more pampered. Just fall in love


    Not to mention Shen Yubei, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan have to be ranked behind.


    On the eighth day of the child¡¯s birth, Shen Yubei and Gao Hanjin had to go back due to the problems of the southern industry. The two obviously reluctant to leave and wish to stay here for a lifetime. The main baby is too cute to participate in the baby¡¯s full moon. Liquor, Shen Yubei and Gao Hanjin expressed their regrets. Before leaving, they bought one of the best golden locks as a gift for the full moon in the jewelry shop in the town. They added that when they came again next time, they must have bought one of the best golden locks. Make up a good full moon gift.


    The baby''s name was taken by Father Shen. After thinking about it for two days, Father Shen finally decided to call it Zhao Shuyan. It didn''t have much meaning, it was peace and happiness, just beautiful.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan thought that the name was good and very charming.


    In the past few days, Zhao Zhengan told them to go to his house to drink full moon wine, and if he didn¡¯t meet him, he took the initiative to tell. Everyone understands Zhao Zhengan¡¯s joy and become a father. Although he is a brother, in ancient times At the time, most people discriminate against brothers, so although some people disagree, they all promise that the full moon will arrive on time.


    "There have been no people from the Zhengan family and the Zhong family until now. From now on, don''t go there any new year and holidays, and waste money." Mother Shen said very angry, although she didn''t look down on them at first, but she took care of you. You have to take a look if you mean it, right?


    "Yeah... I''m not going to talk anymore. I never expect from the Zhong family. As long as you don''t come to trouble me, it doesn''t matter if you don''t come all your life. On the Wang family''s side, Zhengan doesn''t bother to care about them." Zhong Ziqi said indifferently, no It''s better to come, save them annoying.


    "It''s better for my little grandchildren. I don''t cry or make trouble. It''s rare to be too grandma." Mother Shen walked around on the ground holding Xiao Shuyan, and kept kissing his tender face. She liked it so much.


    Although Xiao Shuyan was born not long ago, but unlike other babies who just went out, he cried when nothing happened. Xiao Shuyan is very good and likes to sleep every day. Unless he is hungry and hums twice, he rarely hears it. His crying caused everyone to think that Xiao Shuyan was ill. He asked the old doctor in the town to check it up. The old doctor shook his head and said that everything was normal and healthy. Then they put their heart in their stomachs. .


    Father Shen looked eagerly: "Give me a hug. How long have you held it?"


    "You sir, what should I do if I fell in a hug?" Mother Shen couldn''t bear to let go.


    "It''s not that I haven''t hugged before, hurry up, I also want to rare my little grandchildren." Father Shen said with a dark face, mother Shen dominates Xiao Shuyan every day, and he can''t even hug him.


    Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan, who had just come out of the kitchen, looked at each other, and both smiled helplessly. This kind of drama happens every day in their family, they are used to it, even Zhao Zhengan wants to hug it.


    "Come on, have some chicken soup, I just made it." Zhao Zhengan blew the chicken soup and wanted to feed Zhong Ziqi. "I''ll do it myself.


    "Zhong Ziqi took the bowl and looked up for a while before asking Zhao Zhengan: "When can I stop drinking?" "After giving birth, he drank this kind of tonic soup every day, and he almost vomited after drinking it for more than ten days.


    "You can bear it, the doctor said that after giving birth to the child''s body loss is terrible. So you have to make up one more, so as not to get the root of the disease in the future." Zhao Zhengan said earnestly, don''t talk about Zhong Ziqi, he and Shen mother and they often talk They can''t stand it anymore, let alone Zhong Ziqi.


    "Has the child''s full moon affairs been done?" Zhong Ziqi asked while drinking. Not to mention, Zhao Zhengan''s craftsmanship has grown a lot, and the stew in this soup is delicious.


    "Originally I wanted to hire a chef back in town, but Zhao Ama and Huang Ama said it was too wasteful. Then they will find a few people to help with their work that day."


    Zhong Ziqi nodded when he heard the words: "You figure it out, then those who will come to help. You give people some rewards."


    "Got it."


    Soon, when it came to the full moon, Zhao Zhengan got up early and cleaned up the house. Now it¡¯s early October, and the weather has begun to cool again, but the villagers¡¯ enthusiasm cannot be held up. Some people slipped to Zhao early in the morning. Zhengan is at home, come to see the child.


    Zhong Ziqi had already dressed neatly and sat on the kang. Shen mother and Shen father greeted the guests.


    "Oh... your baby is so good. She doesn''t cry." This is what Ahma from a village said.


    "It''s pretty good, and it''s not annoying." Zhong Ziqi''s tone was unconsciously proud. At this time, Xiao Shuyan was awake, squinting and kicking her legs, and did not cry.


    "This baby looks really like your Eminem. When he grows up, he must be a beautiful child." This is another Ah Ma said.


    "Yeah, everyone says I''m like me."


    "Brother Qi, our family is about to give birth, do you want to order a baby kiss?" The pregnant woman with a big belly said to Zhong Ziqi as if jokingly.


    Zhong Ziqi still played Tai Chi with a smile on her face: "I will talk about it later, I will not interfere with the child''s decision." The person was a little scornful when he heard that.


    Soon, Zhao Ama, Huang Ama, and others arrived one after another. They first went to Zhong Ziqi''s place for a while, Xiao Shuyan, and then called a few Ama into the kitchen to help with cooking.


    Almost all the people in the village came this time, and even the Zhao family and Wang¡¯s family came to have a meal. Others asked them if they had given full moon gifts and what they had given them. They even talked nonsense without blinking, saying that they would send the longevity lock. Clothes, wait.


    Shen''s mother was very angry when he saw this. He seemed to have to chat with others that no one came to the Zhao family and Wang''s house before, and he did not bring anything today.


    Soon, the eyes of everyone looking at the two families changed.


    At noon, many more carriages came one after another outside, all of which were gifts from the restaurant owner in the town. There were not a few gold and silver, long life locks, cloth and clothes.


    Zhao Zhengan took their gifts with a smile, and left them all for lunch. Fortunately, their yard was large, otherwise they would not be able to sit down.


    Today, because I have discussed it before, I made twelve dishes today. It is a complete fish and meat dish. The villagers who ate were filled with oily mouths. They wanted to eat and take them. They all dragged the family with their mouths. One was because they wanted to get in the relationship. , Second, because Zhao Zhengan¡¯s family is rich, the banquet must be very good.


    It took more than an hour for a meal to end, and there were basically CDs on the table. After everyone greeted Zhao Zhengan and Shen''s mother, they broke up in twos and threes.


    There were still a lot of dishes left in the kitchen, and Zhao Zhengan divided some dishes for those who came to help bring them back, and gave a few pennies for hard work.


    Those few Ama are naturally unhappy, even if they don''t pay for these dishes, they will be content.


    Zhao Amo and Huang Amo stayed to help them clean up their dishes.

 Chapter 89: Match up

    After the full moon of wine, the lives of Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi returned to peace. The only thing that was not peaceful was that there was a lot of excitement at home. The most common one was the battle between Shen''s mother and Shen''s father to capture grandchildren. Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan had already I''m used to it. Xiao Shuyan is very well-behaved and put it at Shen''s mother and Shen''s father. They are very relieved that they will put their children in their room only at night. Shen''s mother and Shen''s father are too old and too noisy and noisy. If you don''t sleep well at night, your body will not be able to bear it in the long run.


    Just a few months after Xiao Shuyan was born, An Ning gave birth. An Ning''s birth is much smoother than Zhong Ziqi''s. It only took an hour or so to give birth smoothly. She gave birth to a fat boy, but Zhao Amo and the others are happy. If it''s broken, Zhao Sheng''s state is very similar to Zhao Zhengan''s back then. If he wasn''t for his clumsy mouth, he would definitely show off everywhere.


    The son of Zhao Sheng and An Ning was also the name given by Father Shen. Privately, people in the village were spreading that Father Shen was knowledgeable and a powerful character. Basically, most people would subconsciously respect him when they saw Father Shen.


    Zhao Ama and Zhao Baogen don¡¯t know a word. It¡¯s nothing more than a name. It¡¯s too ugly to hear. So the two of them approached Father Shen when they got together. The two families are usually close. They have already I have become acquainted with Shen''s father and mother. For Shen''s father and mother who are about the same age as their parents, Zhao Baogen and Zhao Ama have respect and awe in their hearts. Although they don''t know what their identities are, they don''t think it is important. , The important thing is that they live here like ordinary people, eat, drink and have fun with them, and never look down on them these crude country folks, this is enough.


    Father Shen finally gave Zhao Sheng''s baby an equally good name called Zhao Herui, and he also hoped that this child would not be as old as his father, with Ling Rui''s air in his gentleness.


    Zhao Sheng and An Ning felt that the name was good and the implication was good, so the name was decided, and it was called Zhao Herui.


    Zhao Ama also specifically asked Zhong Ziqi if he wanted to book a baby kiss. The two are so close, and the engagement is arguably a good one, and it is even closer to the relationship.


    Zhong Ziqi didn''t want to refuse. He didn''t want their children to be bound by arranged marriages, just like his Eminem, just like his original body. These are all negative teaching materials, so he hopes their children can find them by themselves. , Find a person who is willing to cherish each other. Don''t follow in the footsteps of those two.


    Shen''s mother and Shen''s father agree with Zhong Ziqi''s decision very much. They have gone through the things of their eldest brother, and they have already understood that everything should not be forced, and children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and they do not need to blend in, otherwise it will be counterproductive and the consequences will be disastrous.


    On the bed, little Shuyan didn''t know that his relatives had already thought about his future. Zhengxiang, who was lying on the bed at this time, was sleeping, with a silver thread hanging from her mouth, occasionally she moved her arms and continued to sleep.


    It didn¡¯t take long for Zhao Ama to hear a surprising news. Zhao Ning was also pregnant. She was overjoyed. Huang Ama didn¡¯t let Zhao Ning be busy with the delicious food and let him stay at home. Raising a baby with peace of mind is exactly the same as when Zhong Ziqi was pregnant, living a life of rice worms.


    Although boring, Zhao Ning was still contented, only because Huang Jinlei''s infinite love for him made him addicted.


    When Xiao Shuyan was six months old, Zhao Zhengan decided to move the twisted dough sticks back to Zhaojia Village and make them here. The braised meat workshop built by their house is large, and now only takes up half of it, and the other half is completely enough for Zhao Xuemei and the others to make. It''s a twist.


    The restaurants in the left and right towns have to go to Zhaojiacun every day, so there will be no trouble.


    However, it was Wang Jicheng who made Zhao Zhengan aware of something wrong. Wang Jicheng seemed to have something wrong. If he could use his reluctance to explain it at first, then after a period of time, his reluctance would be bullshit.


    Wang Jicheng must have something. As a servant, he can be anyone else, but he must never hide anything from his master.


    So on this day, Zhao Zhengan found Wang Jicheng straightforwardly: "You have been absent-minded recently, is there something wrong?"


    Wang Jicheng was surprised and quickly arched his hands and bent over: "Master, there is nothing wrong with the subordinates, so you are worried."


    "Uncle Cheng, just say if you have something to say, if you hide and tuck like this, I can think of bad places."


    When Wang Jicheng heard that the plot was so serious, he dared to hide it, so he immediately recruited it.


    It turns out that Wang Jicheng has someone he likes. This person Zhao Zhengan also knows. It is in Zhao Lan who sells good food, so Wang Jicheng is reluctant to leave the town, which is very close to Zhao Lan.


    Zhao Zhengan was silent for a long while and asked helplessly: "When did it happen? What does Lang mean?" It was a thousand words that Wang Jicheng''s spring would come.


    Wang Jicheng touched his head and smiled naively: "It''s been a while, and I don''t know what Lange thinks."


    He and Zhao Lan have known each other a lot. This is how Zhao Lan sells twisted fried dough sticks in the town. His twisted fried fried dough sticks are provided from the workshop in the town. He often goes to the compound. When I went to find Wang Jicheng to get the goods, the two became familiar with each other. Two single people still have a good impression of each other, and the relationship will inevitably change over time.


    It''s just that although Wang Jicheng knew what he was thinking, but he didn''t understand Zhao Lan''s heart, he didn''t dare to ask, because he and Zhao Lan were so many years apart, he was afraid that Zhao Lan would dislike him... dislike him for toad wanting to eat swan meat.


    Zhao Zhengan knew his thoughts, went home and discussed with Zhong Ziqi carefully, and finally decided that Zhong Ziqi would go out and ask Zhao Lan''s thoughts.


    That day, not long after Zhao Lan went home, Zhong Ziqi came to him. Zhao Lan was a little surprised when he saw him: "Why are you here, Brother Qi?" Do you know that Zhong Ziqi rarely comes?


    Zhong Ziqi smiled and said, "Naturally I have to ask Brother Lang for something."


    "What''s the matter? Let''s go in and talk."


    Zhao Lan and Zhong Ziqi walked into the room together. Zhong Ziqi said straightforwardly: "Lang, look at you as a brother. It''s not easy to live alone. Have you ever thought of finding another one?"


    Zhao Lan was surprised that Zhong Ziqi would ask this, he shook his head: "It''s good to be alone, and the whole family is not hungry."


    "Ge Lang, you have also been married. You should know the benefits of having a man. Although the relationship was unsatisfactory, we can''t let their scumbags harm us, right?"


    Zhao Lan naturally understood what he meant. It''s just because of his experience that he is a little hard to trust others, and he is also very resistant to interacting with strangers.


    "Forget Ziqi, I am a divorced brother, who would dare to ask, even if he wants to marry, he will be looked down upon by others." Zhao Lan said.


    "Don''t rush to deny it, first listen to who I introduced you to." "Who?"


    Zhong Ziqi smiled: "This person is...Uncle Cheng."


    Zhao Lan was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"


    "It means literally, my uncle is honest and capable, and will not be careful and down-to-earth, and the most important thing is that there is no father and no mother. You don¡¯t have to worry about being rejected by others when you marry. The age difference between you two is a little bit more, I wonder if you can accept it?"


    Zhao Lan sat in a chair and looked ahead silently.


    Zhong Ziqi asked: "Ge Lang, what are you worrying about?"


    "I...I''m not ready yet." Zhao Lan said. After that failed marriage, he was really scared. Although he knew that Wang Jicheng was definitely a good one, he just didn''t dare to sell that step.


    "What do you have to prepare? You and Uncle Cheng are in frequent contact. You should know that his talent is and will definitely treat you well. Don''t hesitate to escape. It''s not appropriate for you two to get along with each other. , There will be nothing left or right. You, there are some things that should be let go. If you can''t go out, others won''t come in naturally."


    Zhao Lan thought in silence for a while, he had to admit that Zhong Ziqi had said a lot. He really couldn''t get out of the shadow. Thinking about it, he felt terrible, but after so many years, he might also try to accept others.


    "Then... does he agree?" Zhao Lan asked hesitantly.


    Zhong Ziqi saw that there was a door, and immediately said happily: "Uncle Cheng naturally agrees, otherwise I won''t be able to come."


    Zhao Lan nodded, and didn''t know what to say for a while.


    Zhong Ziqi got up very understanding and stood up to leave him time to think alone: ??"Lange, I will go back first. You will have a day off tomorrow. You and Uncle Cheng will go out shopping and get in touch with each other."


    "...Okay." Zhao Lan said in a slow response. When he came back to his senses, he was already far away.


    In the afternoon, Zhong Ziqi returned home, Zhao Zhengan immediately asked: "How is it? What did Brother Lan say?"


    Zhong Ziqi glanced at Xiao Shuyan who was asleep, touched his clenched fist and whispered: "It''s done, Lange agrees, you and Uncle Cheng explain that Tian and Lang will go to town together. , Tell him to buy some good things for Lange. Don''t be too dull."


    Zhao Zhengan nodded: "I''ll go tell him now."


    "Go." Zhong Ziqi nodded.


    When Wang Jicheng heard that Zhong Ziqi had done things well, he was so happy that he knelt down and knocked his heads for the two young masters, but Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi didn''t like it.


    On the vertical day, Wang Jicheng and Zhao Lan left early in the morning. Zhong Ziqi did not worry about the two of them at all. He felt that the two of them should be able to do this, because Zhao Lan obviously has a good impression of Wang Jicheng. As long as he has a good impression, this is development. Down the blender.


    Sure enough, when Wang Jicheng came from town in the afternoon, he almost grinned and left behind. Obviously, the progress was very efficient and gratifying.

 Chapter 90: happy life

    Wang Jicheng and Zhao Lan succeeded in being together in the end. Zhao Lan had been hesitant to move forward. Fortunately, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan gave Wang Jicheng an idea behind him. Wang Jicheng was a foolish man, let him take the initiative or not, or not. Dare, or Zhao Zhengan asked him if he wanted a wife, Wang Jicheng had to compromise, but he was not good at it, which caused him to be very stiff when getting along with Zhao Lan, stammering, and panicking when doing things. All in a hurry.


    But unexpectedly, Zhao Lan''s heart was so great. Seeing Wang Jicheng''s stupid appearance, Zhao Lan would be happy and want to laugh. He knew that Wang Jicheng was honest and asked him to do things that are not good at please. It''s really difficult. From this point, he can see his honesty even more. If he finds such a person, he will definitely not bully him, and he has to look forward to him. Now such a man is not easy to find.


    Therefore, Zhao Lan considered repeatedly and agreed to be with Wang Jicheng. He has been injured once. If he can go on happily, he earned it. If he is still a stranger in the end, it can only be said that this is fate, he It''s not good to be injured.


    Zhao Zhengan and Zhong Ziqi, as the masters of Wang Jicheng, the only people close to them, naturally took care of their marriage. Zhao Lan and Wang Jicheng were ashamed and grateful. They let two children so much younger than them do the marriage. .


    Fortunately, the marriage between the two does not need to be so grand, because in Daze country, whether you are a rich or poor or not, as long as the second marriage will not be as lively as a newlywed, in fact, the Emperor Daze did not issue any. The law restricts this matter, and everyone agrees to do it.


    There are also those who are not afraid of the rumors of the outside world. The second marriage is more lively than the first marriage, and the people around you just gossiping for a while after a meal.


    Because of the marriage, Wang Jicheng rarely borrowed some silver from Zhao Zhengan and built a new house next to Zhong Ziqi''s house. When the house was decorated, their marriage also arrived.


    The banquet was placed in their new house. The front and back of their yard were large enough. Ten tables and eight tables were no problem. They invited the villagers to have a meal. Zhao Lan and his family also came, but their expressions were a bit silly. The child who was once the most insignificant and ashamed of them is now amazing, with money to make, and someone backing it up, but it''s amazing.


    It¡¯s just that their family did a great job at the beginning, and now Zhao Lan is disheartened to them and wants to relax the relationship. They once secretly approached Wang Jicheng to try to pull the relationship, but it ended in failure. Don¡¯t look at Wang Jicheng¡¯s appearance. He is honest and honest, but he is a delicate person in his heart.


    The wedding of Wang Jicheng and Zhao Lan was successfully held with the help of Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan. After the marriage, the two people''s life and the relationship with Meimei and Meimei were also like glue, and everything seemed to be fine.


    In the summer of the same year, Shen Yubei and the others came back from the south. They left when Xiao Shuyan was born in their family, and now it is the first time to come back. Shen Yubei is especially sorry to say that something happened to be too busy in the south. So I came back late.


    Everyone nodded in understanding, no one knows how things will change in the business field.


    This time, Shen Yubei and Shen Yubei came back from the south and brought a lot of good things, including good jade, bracelets, longevity locks, clothes and cloth, and a lot of delicious and fun things. It''s all for Xiao Shuyan.


    Xiao Shuyan is about to have her birthday soon, and now she can crawl, she is not honest at all, crawling around, can''t do without people for a moment, for fear that he will fall and bump.


    Because of the delicious food and drink for him, Xiao Shuyan has grown fleshy now, her small arms and legs are like lotus roots, and the meat pits on Xiao Chuan''s hands look very cute, plus He was white and tender, and anyone who saw him couldn''t walk, he couldn''t wait to hold him in his arms and savagely.


    The same goes for Gao Hanjin and Shen Yubei. Seeing Xiao Shuyan''s eyes light up, it was a rare meal. Xiao Shuyan was held in the arms of a stranger, her mouth slumped and wanted to cry, Gao Hanjin''s eyes quickly stuffed a rattle with her hands. In his hands, Xiao Shuyan was immediately drawn away, and she didn''t care about the two strangers around her.


    Zhong Ziqi shook his head funny, and at the same time secretly vigilant in his heart, in the future, he has to instill the knowledge to prevent being deceived, don''t believe anyone who is stupid.


    This afternoon, Shen''s mother and Shen''s father went to take a nap with Xiao Shuyan in their arms. Zhao Zhengan and Shen Yubei went out, leaving only Zhong Ziqi and Gao Hanjin at home.


    "Ziqi, I...want to see a genius doctor." Gao Hanjin said hesitatingly while lying on the bed.


    "See the genius doctor? What''s wrong with you? Are you sick?" Zhong Ziqi asked in surprise, thinking he was not well.


    "I''m not sick." Gao Hanjin shook his head.


    "Then why should I go to see a genius doctor?" Zhong Ziqi was even more puzzled. What should I do to see a genius doctor if I don''t have a disease?


    "It''s not... I have been married to your uncle for so long, and there is no movement in this stomach. You should see that your uncle likes children very much. After looking at it for a year, there is still no movement. I don''t know if it is mine. There is a problem with the body."


    Gao Hanjin said sadly that when he hadn''t come before, he had to go to the hospital every ten and a half days, but his stomach was not up to date. Although Shen Yubei has been comforting him to be okay, he just can''t erase the burden in his heart.


    "That''s it? Don''t worry, nothing will happen, maybe it''s not the time if you don''t have a baby. There are still many people in the village who have been married for two or three years before getting pregnant." Zhong Ziqi comfortedly said, in his opinion one year Not being pregnant is really nothing. People are different. Some people can be hit by a single shot, and some people are pregnant with one child in ten years. This is unpredictable.


    After hearing Zhong Ziqi''s words, Gao Hanjin felt a little relieved. He didn''t dare to tell Shen Yubei these words, for fear that Shen Yubei would say that he was thinking about him. Now I have a lot of fun to talk to Zhong Ziqi.


    "However, I won''t stop you from going to the genius doctor. I really don''t feel at ease. Go and see Yezhong and ask the genius doctor if he wants to prescribe some Chinese medicine to replenish your body."


    "Um... good." Gao Hanjin nodded, still agreeing with what he said, and decided to wait a little longer, maybe it''s really not the time!


    After staying in Zhaojiacun for a period of time, Gao Hanjin habitually went to the doctor''s office to find the doctor for his pulse, but this time he did not let him down again, and the doctor diagnosed it as a happy pulse.


    Gao Hanjin was taken aback for a moment. He couldn''t believe his ears. His eyes widened. When the doctor confirmed that he said it again in general,


    Gao Hanjin jumped into Shen Yubei''s arms happily, and she was so frightened that Shen Yubei hugged him and kept him from moving. But the corners of his mouth couldn''t help but cocked up, he also has children! look forward to!


    Two years later...


    "Xiaoyan is playing with his younger brother here, don''t you know that you are not allowed to bully his younger brother?" Zhong Ziqi exhorted, it''s late and he is going to the kitchen to cook lunch.


    "I know, Eminem... I... I won''t... bully my brother." Xiao Shuyan, who was still chubby, nodded her head obediently, sitting on the kang.


    Then stretched out his hand to tease the little brother who was lying on Gao Hanjin.


    This is the child of Gao Hanjin and Shen Yubei, both of whom have a birthday now, and they are very lively looking brothers.


    Climbing is no problem, you can climb off the ground as soon as you can''t see it.


    Now these two little brothers are the treasures of the family, and the family loves them very much. However, he did not lose his reason, and it was necessary to instill some knowledge from an early age.


    Here Zhong Ziqi shook her head and hummed a song and went into the kitchen. Zhao Zhengan went out to collect the rent. I don''t know when he would be back. Last night Zhao Zhengan said he wanted to eat braised pork, so he made it today when he had time.


    Zhong Ziqi washed his hands and started to cut the meat, chopped green onions, and heated oil in the pan. Before putting the meat into the pan, Zhong Ziqi ran out and vomited in discomfort.


    "Ziqi? What''s wrong with Ziqi?"


    Mother Shen was doing needlework in the house, and hurried out when she heard the movement. Zhong Ziqi finished vomiting and patted her chest and shook her head: "It''s okay, grandmother, it''s just a little uncomfortable, I''m afraid I can''t cook."


    "I''ll cook the dishes, you go take a rest, and when Zhengan comes back, let him find the doctor to show you what''s wrong?" Mother Shen nagged uneasy.


    "Hmm... I know my grandmother."


    At noon, Zhao Zhengan came back for lunch. He heard that his grandmother had said that Zhong Ziqi was not feeling well. He glanced at his wife who was not looking good. He put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran out to find the doctor.


    Mother Shen did not stop him.


    Zhong Ziqi smiled helplessly, his stomach was still a little churning, he didn''t want to eat at all, and simply stayed away from the dining table.


    Soon the old doctor in the village returned with Zhao Zhengan. After some pulses, the old doctor smiled: "Congratulations, congratulations, you are going to be fathers again."


    "What? What do you mean? Ziqi is pregnant again?" Mother Shen asked loudly.


    "Yes, this is undoubtedly a happy pulse."


    "Great, our house is getting more and more lively." Mother Shen and the others are very happy. Their family is Ding Shao, and now a few more children are more lively.


    Although Zhong Ziqi was prepared in her heart, she was still a little depressed. The pain of the last childbirth was still vivid, and he was really scared!


    Zhao Zhengan was also a little worried, but he was also very happy, and couldn''t help but grin.


    Zhong Ziqi rolled her eyes, Zhao Zhengan started to be stupid again!


    In the evening, Zhao Zhengan lay on the bed with Zhong Ziqi and asked him: "Daughter-in-law, do you like the arrival of this child? Don''t like it if you don''t like it. Your health matters." You can not, the body is the most important thing.


    "Don''t do anything, this is our child, of course I like it, you can rest assured that I love our child more than you." This is the continuation of his life in this other world.


    "Just like it...I look forward to the happy scene when our children run around us." Zhao Zhengan sighed.


    "Yeah!" Zhong Ziqi nodded, imagining that kind of scene. I didn''t feel it when I was not a father or a mother. After I became a father, I didn''t really understand the feeling of home. No matter how bad his child is, it is his. He will love to his bones.


    In a blink of an eye, he has been here for more than four years. From the beginning, when he was at a loss and without relatives, and now he has relatives, friends, lovers, and children. Such a happy life is beyond his imagination. of.


    His only wish is not to change this kind of life, so that they can continue to be happy.


    At night, dazzling stars cast down the earth, with a beautiful brilliance, illuminating house to house, the world under the moonlight has quarrels and happiness, but as long as happiness is not important.


    The author has something to say: it''s over. I¡¯m not satisfied with the ending, but I found out that I am a clueless person who always writes bad endings, but as long as I am happy, the world is full of love ¡ú_¡ú
