Almost half a month passed in a flash, Zhong Ziqi didn't have time to count the time, so she discussed with Zhao Amo and the others to join in the fun.
After nearly a month of getting along, both Zhao's family and that brother's family are very satisfied with both parties, especially the brother's family feels that this is a pie in the sky. The main thing is that Zhao's family conditions are compared with theirs. It's like one sky and one earth. They are all from eight villages in the vicinity, and they all entered the same town, so any disturbance can be spread for several miles immediately.
Their family also knew Zhao Ahmai's family, because their business was so popular in the town, but at that time they were just envious. Jia Anning's blessings cultivated in previous lives.
Seeing that the two children were in love, the parents of both parties decided directly to discuss the date. Seeing that it has entered the winter month and the Chinese New Year is only a few months away, the two families decided to get married before the end of the year. Although the elder brother's family wanted to keep the elder brother at home for the last year, Zhao Ama said that the two families are close to each other, separated by a village, and when they miss the elder brother during the Chinese New Year, they asked Zhao Sheng to accompany An Ning home. Come Chinese New Year, there is no reason for An's family to hear this.
In the past few days, Zhong Ziqi has been troubled by this incident so much that she has forgotten her life.
Until that day when Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Ning came home talking and laughing after work, they found that the lock on the gate was missing. They were still there when they left before, so it's impossible for the two of them to remember wrongly.
"Could it be? Could it be a thief?"
Zhong Ziqi said vigilantly, his eyes swept around, and picked up a wooden stick as thick as an arm. Zhao Ning also picked up a wooden stick in fear and followed Zhong Ziqi and whispered worriedly: "Be careful, Ziqi, if it doesn't work, you wait for me, I'll go back and call my dad."
Their two weak brothers can't stop a grown man at all, let alone they don't know how many people are inside at this time!
Zhong Ziqi also knew this reason, he turned his head and hissed: "I will quietly open the door to see who is inside, if the situation is not good, I will turn around and run immediately."
All his belongings are hidden in his house, no matter how big his heart is, he will feel distressed. It is what he and Zhao Zhengan have earned hard for the past few months. He doesn't want to take advantage of others, but also wants to see who it is? Dare to steal into his house.
Zhong Ziqi took a deep breath, gently opened the door with a gap, and looked inside, and there was nothing unusual. Their family's big black and small black were sleeping in the yard as usual.
Zhong Ziqi wondered why Dahei Xiaohei was so quiet
Unreasonable
You must know that these two in their family are usually the fiercest, and the whole village can hear it when a stranger wants to bark.
At this time, it was quiet and abnormal!
Very abnormal!
It's so abnormal!
Zhong Ziqi looked at the room where the doors and windows were closed, and listened carefully, but there was no sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. He opened the door and Zhao Ning tiptoed in.
Dahei and Xiaohei ran over happily when they saw their masters coming back, sticking out their tongues. Zhong Ziqi hurriedly booed them: "Don't make noise."
Dahei and Xiaohei didn't know, so they whined twice.
"Why is there no sound at all?" Zhao Ning asked in a low voice, tugging on Zhong Ziqi's clothes.
"I'm surprised too."
Zhong Ziqi carefully pushed open the door of the room, and the tables, chairs, and tea bowls in the room were all neatly arranged as when they left.
wrong!
Different!
With sharp eyes, Zhong Ziqi noticed that a teacup had moved, and there was still an unclear footprint on the floor of the room, which was leading to the bedroom.
Zhong Ziqi listened attentively, but there was still no sound at all. He gave Zhao Ning a wink and signaled him to back off and be careful.
Zhao Ning bowed his head and nodded, the palm of his hand holding the wooden stick was sweating.
Zhong Ziqi also broke out in a cold sweat, feeling extremely nervous. He held his hand on the bedroom doorknob and took a deep breath. Zhong Ziqi slowly and quietly opened the bedroom door, only a small gap the width of a palm.
But Zhong Ziqi immediately discovered that there was a person lying on the kang. The person was dressed in disorder and covered the quilt with his head turned inside. He was sleeping soundly, and he could hear snoring when he listened carefully.
Zhong Ziqi looked at the familiar figure and knew who it was at a glance. He breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed open the door with a little weakness all over. He turned around and said to Zhao Ning, "It's Zhao Zhengan who's back, don't be afraid."
Hearing this, Zhao Ning looked around and found that the person was not Zhao Zhengan, who else
He immediately felt relieved, and the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.
The three of them were startled in the silent room.
That's right, there were three of them. Zhao Zheng'an arrived in Qingshui Town at noon. He wanted to go to the store to find Zhong Ziqi, but he had a lot of things in his hand and had to give up. He rented a carriage and went home.
He didn't sleep well last night because of his closeness to his hometown. Now that he got home, he suddenly felt relaxed. He didn't change his clothes, wash his face, or eat, so he lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
When he was sleeping soundly, he only heard a bang, and Zhao Zhengan sat up in a jerk, staring at the two people who suddenly appeared at the door with dull eyes, obviously not recovering.
Zhao Ning scratched his hair in embarrassment: "Hands... slippery."
Zhong Ziqi couldn't help laughing. When he found out that it was Zhao Zhengan just now, he almost threw the stick in his hand. He thought that Zhao Zhengan would not come back so early, but unexpectedly he came back unexpectedly.
It's also because his brain is not good enough. Apart from him, only Zhao Zheng'an has the key to the house. At that moment, he just thought that he had entered into the thief. How could Dahei Xiaohei be so quiet.
"Are you back?"
Zhao Zheng'an yawned and finally came back to his senses. He looked outside the window and the sky was already getting dark.
Zhong Ziqi looked at the piles of large and small bags piled up in the room, then looked at the unshaven and haggard Zhao Zhengan and asked with some distress: "When did you come back? Why are you so haggard?"
Zhao Zhengan got up and folded the quilt: "I haven't been home for long, and I slept for a while when you didn't come back."
Zhao Ning saw that Zhao Zheng'an was back, so he couldn't stay here any longer. It would be dark when he saw the sky, so he had to go back first.
"I'll see you off." Zhong Ziqi said and walked out the door.
"You don't need to give it away, there is nothing to give it so close." Zhao Ning waved his hands and shied away.
"In case you meet some bad guys, let's go, I'll take you to the village, I won't keep you today, and I'll treat you to dinner someday."
Zhao Ning nodded understandingly, her husband must have had a lot of whispers to say when he just came back, so he won't be an eyesore here.
After seeing off Zhao Ning, Zhong Ziqi returned home and found that Zhao Zheng'an had tidied herself up and returned to her previous cleanliness, not like the uncle who was alive and well just now.
Seeing Zhong Ziqi come back, Zhao Zhengan couldn't help leaning towards him with fiery eyes to have a good time with him. If Zhong Ziqi hadn't stopped him, Zhao Zhengan would definitely have done something unsuitable for children.
"Tell me about your past month and a half first." Zhong Ziqi wiped her lips and asked Zhao Zhengan.
Zhao Zheng'an smacked his mouth with unsatisfied enthusiasm, touched his stomach which started to protest and said, "Daughter-in-law, I'm hungry! You can cook me something first."
As soon as Zhong Ziqi heard this, she immediately got up and said, "You wait, I'll do it right away."
Fortunately, when leaving 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's hands and feet were nimble, and he fried two dishes in a short while. He was afraid that Zhao Zhengan would be in a hurry, so he didn't make any tricks.
Zhao Zheng'an smelled the aroma of his wife's cooking, and swallowed deeply. He was used to eating the dishes made by his wife, and he always felt that the dishes cooked outside were not delicious. Even if he had eaten in the best restaurants, he would not I didn't feel that their dishes were better than their daughter-in-law's craftsmanship.
As soon as Zhong Ziqi's food was brought to the table, Zhao Zhengan began to eat in a hurry. Zhong Ziqi saw how delicious his food was, and couldn't stop laughing: "Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Hmm... Your cooking is still the most delicious and delicious."
"It's not that exaggerated." Zhong Ziqi also sat down to eat in a good mood, and unknowingly ate an extra bowl than usual.
After eating and tidying up everything, Zhong Ziqi and Zhao Zhengan sat on the kang and listened to what he had heard and seen.
"If we say that our Daze country is blessed by God and has rich products, I used to hear people say that, and I scoffed at that time. Only after this time did I realize that I am really a frog in a well. I have walked through many cities and towns, some The places are barren and backward, and some places are rich in resources. Just like a small town I have been to, nothing can be grown there, and half of the plants and crops planted will die, and the remaining half will still 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 made of stones, someone carefully discovered a particularly strange and hard stone, which can make hard and sharp tools, which are no worse than iron tools. People there usually sell these stones to make money."
Zhong Ziqi thought to herself, this is the answer to that sentence, if God closes a door for you, it must leave a window for you.
"Also, there is a small town where there is a plant that is said to be able to drive away all ailments and keep you healthy, but we don't know if it is true or not, but people there rarely get sick. , are as strong as a cow."
Zhong Ziqi nodded knowingly. In his previous life, he had heard of many strange plants. For example, in a certain town, newlyweds who lived there for a year or so would be able to conceive twins. It is rich in a kind of plant, and the local people usually eat this kind of plant, and this kind of plant can secrete a kind of estrogen, which can increase the estrogen in the body of the women living there several times, and they will be able to conceive naturally. Got twins.
There are many such situations, so he doesn't find it too strange.
"By the way, look at this."
Zhao Zheng'an took out a few pieces of paper and a few ingots of ten taels of silver from his pocket.
Zhong Ziqi took it and opened the paper, only to see "one hundred taels" written on each piece of paper. Only then did Zhong Ziqi belatedly realize where is this paper
This is clearly the legendary silver ticket!
