Yuan Sinian's eyes lit up, and he said: "This name is good, it's much more elegant than salted salted duck! How about calling it Osmanthus Duck! Around Mid-Autumn Festival this year, I will come again to taste Yu Yatou's handicraft. That's the deal!"
Yu Xiaocao can't laugh or cry, Mr. Dean, who has agreed with you? Alas, I can only blame myself for talking too much, causing a whole body of "debts"!
When the three brothers and sisters came out of Zhenxiu Building, the sun was already in the west, and Young Master Wednesday said uneasy: "It's getting late, and there is still a mountain road to go back to Dongshan Village, why don't you just rest in the town for a night and go back tomorrow Bar!"
Yu Xiaocao flatly refused. Her thirteen-filial father, if he didn't see his children back tonight, he would be so worried. well! This is not good in ancient times. It is too inconvenient to contact. If you have a mobile phone, you can dial it and everything will be done.
Seeing that she had made up his mind to go, Zhou Zixu hurriedly brought his beloved horses from the stables and insisted on sending them back. In his opinion, the oldest of the three siblings is less than ten years old, and if there is an accident or something along the way, the three children will be incapacitated every day. He is worried!
He doesn't look at himself, and he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, so what can he do to help? However, his heart is quite touching.
Yu Xiaocao declined several times, but was no match for Young Master Zhou's determination. Ever since, a little donkey cart accompanied by a little red horse galloped quickly into the distance in the sky full of red clouds. The silhouette was so harmonious, like a freehand landscape painting...
Xiao Hui's physique was transformed by Lingshi Water, and his speed was no less than that of the little red horse under Shao Zhou's crotch. If it wasn't for Xiaocao shaking so hard that he was about to spit it out, Xiao Hui's speed would be even faster.
Looking at Xiaocao's uncomfortable appearance on Wednesday, Shao Shao said with a little bit of unbearable: "The rubber wheels have been ordered for you, and it is estimated that they will be available next month. By then, you will not feel so uncomfortable when you travel far."
"Thank you, Third Young Master!" Yu Xiaocao's face turned pale, and her lips seemed to have lost their original color. She was still thinking about the watermelon seeds when she was so uncomfortable, "Third Young Master, I asked Xiao Toge to send you a message last time. Is there any idea about asking you to help find watermelon seeds?"
Zhou Zixu nodded slowly and said: "I saw it in a seed shop in Fucheng last time, and someone bought it. Don't worry! When did I delay your business? When the seeds come, I will ask Xiaoduo to give them to you Take it!"
At this time, the sky has darkened. The chariots and horses also entered a section of rugged mountain road. On both sides of the winding path, there were tall trees and shrubs taller than a person. From among them, the singing of night birds could be heard faintly.
The Yu family's old house is at the foot of the West Mountain. I haven't heard any birdsong before, but I don't think it matters. It's different on Wednesday. When did he appear in the forest at night? He was obviously a little nervous about the cuckoo of the night bird.
"Don't be afraid, it's the cry of an owl! Owls are beneficial birds, they can catch voles!" Yu Xiaolian suppressed a smile and comforted Young Master Wednesday, secretly laughing at his timidity.
Zhou Zixu regretted that he didn't bring a handy weapon. If he brought the bow and arrow he practiced every day, he wouldn't be afraid. He looked at the dark tree shadows around him, and said in his heart: "Will there be wolves in this mountain?"
"Wolf? There should be?? However, ferocious beasts are usually in the deep mountains. Unless they can't find food in a bad year, they will go down the mountain to harm the villagers. Pedestrians pass by this road every day, so there should be no wolves or anything like that." Yu Xiao Grass comforted. After all, he is a child of thirteen or fourteen, and he is still a pampered young master, so he is not ashamed to be afraid.
"Ahead... What is that light? I heard that the eyes of wolves glow at night, could it be..." Zhou Zixu swallowed quietly, holding the rein in his palm, sweating slightly. He looked around to see if he could find a stick or something convenient to protect the three of them.
Little Shitou giggled and said, "Brother Zhou, have you ever seen a wolf with glowing eyes? Wouldn't that be a one-eyed wolf? Besides, the wolf's eyes are blue-green at night, and the front is a dim yellow one." , It is obviously a light lit by people who walk at night."
"Strange, at night, who would walk around with a lantern?" Yu Xiaocao said to herself.
As the donkey cart moved forward steadily, the dim light was getting closer and closer. The person carrying the lantern seemed to have heard the sound of horses' hooves and wheels, and hesitantly called out, "Is it Xiaocao?"
"Father? Second Sister, it's Daddy's voice!!" Xiao Shitou was stunned for a moment, and then called out cheerfully.
"Father! It's us!!" Xiao Lian seemed to have a backbone, and shouted loudly towards the light.
Soon, the donkey cart came to the light, and saw Yu Hai holding a lantern made of white paper, standing on the side of the road and letting out a long sigh of relief, as if he had something on his mind.
"Father, why are you here?" Yu Xiaocao stepped aside and waited for Yu Hai to jump into the donkey cart before asking.
Yu Hai glared at the three siblings, and said, "Why am I here?! Look at what time it is, the moon is already high above the treetops, you haven't arrived home yet, can your mother and I not be in a hurry? Is it? I think you are playing crazy in the town, and you forgot to go home!"
Zhou Zixu hurriedly explained for the three siblings: "Uncle Yu, it's my fault! Xiaocao taught Chef Wang to cook sweet-scented osmanthus duck, which wasted time, so he came back late. If you blame it, blame me!"
Just now, Yu Hai was completely focused on the three siblings, fearing that something might happen, only then did he realize that Wednesday Shao sent the three siblings back. He hurriedly said gratefully: "Thank you for your trouble, Third Young Master, it's getting late, you should go back soon!"
On Wednesday, I took a closer look at the road where I couldn't see my fingers when I came here, and I promised, but I was hesitant to turn around. Seeing this, Xiaocao said to her father: "Father, it will take more than an hour for the third young master to go back. The night is dark and windy, which makes people worry. Isn't it coming to our house soon? Or let him stay at our house Take a rest overnight, and go directly to the pier from our house tomorrow, it will be closer!"
Yu Hai saw that the third youngest of the Zhou family didn't need his own son to be much older, he was still a half-grown child. Going back like this is indeed quite worrying, so he said to the third young master: "Third young master, if you don't dislike it, you can rest at my house for one night. How about it?"
"Thank you, Uncle Yu, then I won't bother you!" Zhou Zixu smiled gratefully at Xiaocao. Xiaocaomeizi is very understanding, and this move is exactly in his favor.
After passing this section of the mountain road, you can see the big tree at the entrance of Dongshan Village. Indistinctly, a dark figure hovered under the tree. Needless to say, that familiar figure was none other than Mrs. Liu who was worried about her children.
Seeing that Zhou Zhou was here, Mrs. Liu didn't say much, but said with concern: "I will come back sooner, your father and I are waiting so anxiously for you!"
Yu Xiaocao jumped out of the carriage, took Liu Shi's hand, and said coquettishly: "Mother, don't worry, it will never happen again!"
When we got home, hot water had already been boiled on the stove. After washing up with Xiaocao and his brother on Wednesday, they scalded their feet with hot water, making them feel warm all over.
At night, Young Master Zhou slept on the kang in the main room with Yu Hai, Yu Hang and his son, while Mrs. Liu lived in the east room with Xiaolian, Xiaocao and Xiaoshi. Little Shitou protested: "Mother, I am also a man, I want to sleep on the kang with my father and brother!"
"Men and women have different seats at seven years old, you are only six years old, what are you so particular about? Go to sleep now!!" Yu Xiaocao ignored Xiao Shitou's protest, took off his coat, and stuffed him into the bed. Little Shitou yelled and resisted, but was suppressed by several women in the family.
Young Master Wednesday next door was lying on the warm kang, looking at everything in the house by the dim oil lamp. Although the house has been repaired, it still looks old. However, the interior of the house is simple and tidy.
The earth wall on the edge of the kang, which was about to peel off, was covered with wallpaper. The cotton of the quilt under his body has become stiff, but it has been washed clean. The quilt on her body should be newly made, fluffy and soft, exuding the fragrance of saponins...
Zhou Zixu thought that he would not be able to fall asleep in a different environment, but within a quarter of an hour, his upper and lower eyelids began to fight. In the dimness, he vaguely heard the bold snoring around him, and he didn't feel noisy, and slept more peacefully.
Since he was born, he has lacked a father role in his life. If he had a father in his life, would he love him to the core like Xiaocao's father, would he also be accompanied by the sound of snoring to sleep
Zhou Zixu woke up to the singing of birds. The moment he opened his eyes, he seemed to have forgotten where he was, and was in a daze in a daze.
"Puchi—" A girl's laughter woke him up suddenly.
He looked up and saw Yu Xiaocao smiling at the door of the room, shrinking into the quilt in a panic.
"What are you hiding from? It's not that you're naked... Oops! Mother, why did you hit me?" Yu Xiaocao was extremely happy and sad, covering her head and pursing her mouth, with an aggrieved expression on her face.
Mrs. Liu nodded her head bitterly, and reprimanded: "Look at you! Is that what a girl should say? Don't be afraid of San Shao's jokes! I think you should stop running around in the future and study hard. Learn the rules."
"Mother, Young Master Zhou is not an outsider, isn't he just playing a little joke on him?" Yu Xiaocao blinked her innocent eyes and tried her best to be cute.
Zhou Zixu interceded for her: "Auntie, Sister Xiaocao is still young. Besides, when the emperor proposed to improve the status of women, there were women's schools in the capital. Now it is no longer advocating that women do not go out of the door. .”
"Girls can also go to school and study? After a while, send Xiaocao and Xiaolian to study. Our Xiaocao is smart, and maybe he can come back with a female scholar!" Yu Hai laughed, with a look on his face proud look.
Mrs. Liu glared at him: "You, why are you here to join in the fun? What the third young master is talking about is the capital. We Tanggu is a small place like this. How can there be any girls' school? Girls from every family, just know a few words, what do you go to?" What book do you study?"
