"Aunt Yu, I heard that Xiaocao came back from Beijing?" A familiar voice sounded from the gate.
Xiao Shitou's eyes lit up, and he couldn't care less about the siu mai in his mouth, so he cheered and said, "Brother Han, I heard that you have been transferred to the Baihu Office near us. That's great! It will be convenient to meet in the future , I will rest tomorrow. If you are free, you, me and my second sister, let’s go to the secret base to catch small fish. The second sister has not been here for half a year. I have gone several times without catching a small white fish Yes. Alas... I miss the days when we stewed fish soup in broken earthen pots in the forest together!"
"Eating can't stop your mouth! Is the family missing you to eat, or is it missing you to drink? I still miss the old days, the days when I ate thick flour pancakes and drank bean noodle porridge every day, and couldn't fill my stomach. What's the matter? I miss you so much?" Hearing Zhao Han's voice, Liu Shi came out from the backyard, glared at her youngest son, and then smiled and invited Zhao Han into the living room to rest.
Little Shitou walked beside Zhao Han while gnawing on the siu mai, made a face at Mrs. Liu, and said, "I'm expressing my miss for Brother Han, mother, you misunderstood me."
Mrs. Liu stared at him with a smile, then turned to Zhao Han and said, "Cao'er is making breakfast in the kitchen, isn't she on duty today? Haven't you eaten breakfast yet? I'll eat all three meals today at my aunt's place, so don't tell my aunt Outside air."
Since Zhao Han joined the army, his stature has grown even stronger, and his height is comparable to that of the king of Yangjun, at least 1.8 meters tall. Perhaps because he often patrols the sea as an errand, his complexion is a healthy bronze color. Taking advantage of his tough and handsome features, he looks uniquely masculine, enough to deserve the title of "walking hormone".
"Auntie, my nephew will be disrespectful. Don't worry about it, I'm not an outsider. My nephew will go to the kitchen to see if anyone needs help." As he spoke, he stepped out of the living room door slightly eagerly. Step towards the direction of the kitchen.
Before he had time to reach the kitchen door, a slim young girl came out with a steaming earthen pot. The little girl was wearing a red gold silk jacket pinched at the waist, and the outer vest was trimmed with a circle of fluffy white snow fox fur, which set off the rosy little face, making it more vivid and lovely. It's her, Yu Xiaocao! That little girl with countless whimsical ideas and weird spirits! ! She grew taller, opened up, and beautiful...
"Brother Han? You're so tall? You're even more handsome, I almost didn't recognize him!" Yu Xiaocao raised her head and saw a heroic figure, she was taken aback and recognized him.
Zhao Han couldn't help but took two steps forward, took the earthen pot in her hand, and his voice was full of magnetism: "Is it hot or not, let me do it? What did you do? It smells so good!!"
"Can it not be fragrant? The king of this county personally... lit the fire, and the credit is indispensable!" Zhu Junyang's voice was full of displeasure. What's going on today, one or two are staring at his little girl covetously. After seeing Zhao Han's appearance clearly, Zhu Junyang felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
Yu Xiaocao comforted him with a smile: "Yes, half of the credit for today's breakfast, okay?"
Zhao Han's eyes were slightly fixed, and he looked at the handsome man with a possessive face. King Yang? I had heard that he took good care of the Yu family, so I thought it was the craftsmanship and talent of the Yu family that he admired. Perhaps not entirely so, the male intuition told him that King Yang was interested in Xiaocao!
"The last general, Zhao Han, pay homage to King Yang!" Although Zhao Han was holding a hot crock pot in his hand, he saluted him politely.
"Okay, there are no outsiders! Why are you so polite!" Yu Xiaocao's words revealed the intimacy with King Yang, which made Zhao Han frowned even tighter.
"Brother Han, this is the crock pot chicken soup I cooked. It has been simmered all morning, and ginseng and angelica are added in it. It is the most nourishing! Let's try it together!!" Fortunately, Yu Xiaocao spoke to him The tone of voice was also quite close and familiar, which made Zhao Han feel a little better. However, in terms of tone, there is still a difference. Could it be... is he really going to miss her
Although Zhu Junyang is very tasty, he must show the magnanimous side of the future male master, so he used the taste of the master: "What Xiaocao said is that there are no outsiders, so there is no need to stick to some red tape. Those who come I'm a guest, stay here and taste the girl's craft."
Zhao Han endured it, but still couldn't hold it back, looked straight into Zhu Junyang's eyes, and said seriously: "Yangjun Wang, although you have helped Uncle Yu and Aunt Yu and Xiaocao, but after all, you are a foreigner, and Xiaocao is also grown up now. Now, if you should avoid suspicion, you should avoid it."
Zhu Junyang's face turned cold in an instant, and the surrounding temperature seemed to have dropped several degrees, only Yu Xiaocao, who was so nervous, didn't notice anything at all. Perhaps, in her heart, Zhu Junyang is just like Xiaobai she raised, arrogant, cold, pretending to be fierce, but actually not the slightest lethal. His cold and black face no longer had any effect on her.
Seeing that the little girl of his family was ignorant of the turmoil between the two, Zhu Junyang looked at her with helplessness and deep doting. For a creature like a rival in love, subduing by force is not considered a skill. The real victory is to defeat the opponent psychologically.
Thinking of this, Zhu Junyang smiled back on his face. Seeing his abnormal demeanor, Zhao Han was secretly startled: Could it be that Xiaocao really had something to do with King Yang during the years he was away? Won't! Absolutely not! ! Xiaocao is not yet thirteen, and her love is not yet open, so how could she fall in love with a moody guy like Prince Yang
"Zhao Zongqi, don't blame those who don't know, the king of this county will not blame your Yanyue. Maybe you don't know, Ye and Yu Xiaocao have already had a five-year agreement. That is to say, when she was eighteen When she was 15 years old, the Lord would marry her. So, to the Yu family, the king of this county is really not a foreigner." Seeing Zhao Han's shocked eyes, King Yang was slightly proud: Xiao Mian, If you want to poach the corner of the master, you must weigh your own weight first! !
"That's right! Because of my master's sincerity, I moved that girl. Xiaocao has promised that when she is sixteen years old, she will be engaged to her master first. In fact, according to the verbal agreement, my master is already Xiaocao's fiancé! So, Xiaocao Zongqi Zhao will not bother you about the matter of grass!!" The meaning revealed in this guy's words is obvious: Xiaocao is already famous, so you should quickly put away your shameful little thoughts!
At the same time, Zhu Junyang is also grateful for his wise decision. Fortunately, he acted first and made clear the relationship with the little girl. Otherwise, after that girl gets enlightened, maybe he will be the same as Zhao Han in front of him, and there is nothing wrong with him.
"What are you two talking about? Why are you standing in the yard, isn't it cold? Brother Han, if you delay any longer, the crock pot of chicken soup will be cold!" Yu Xiaocao came out of the kitchen, holding a bunch of small steamers in her hands, shaking them The ground came out, "Who is that, come and help, I can't hold it anymore!!"
Before she could speak, Zhu Junyang took two steps forward, took the steamer in her hand, and said half complaining and half distressed: "You have thin arms and legs, how can you move these? Leave it alone and let the master come! Xiao Shitou, help your second sister get the dishes. She has been working all morning to make breakfast, it's time to take a break!!"
That's right, a man who knows how much he loves his girlfriend and takes over the work to do it himself can be regarded as a warm man. Yu Xiaocao looked at him with a smile as bright as the morning sun, and the dimples on her lips could make people drunk.
Zhao Han lowered his eyes to cover up the disappointment inside. Maybe... This time, he really came back too late...
The breakfast was very sumptuous, and everyone in the Yu family ate it with great interest and were full of praise. Only Zhao Han doesn't know the taste of food, it's like chewing wax.
After breakfast, some folks from Yu's residence began to come one after another. On the one hand, they were happy that Yu Hai's family had the opportunity to go to the capital for the New Year, and on the other hand, they wanted to "pay respect" to the new county head. The ancestral grave of Lao Yu's family is smoking, not to mention an official, but a county head! !
Yu Hai and his wife, together with old Yu, were busy entertaining their fellow villagers and neighbors. Zhao Han sat for a while, then left with the excuse that he was still on errand. It was Little Shitou and Xiaocao who sent him out.
Zhao Han endured for a while, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and asked, "Xiaocao, what's going on with you and King Yang?"
"What's going on? Yang Jun Wang is the second sister's bole and immediate boss, what else can I do?" Xiao Shitou held his stuffed stomach and slowly followed the two to digest food. Hearing this, he looked at the two of them in surprise and asked.
Zhao Han didn't answer his words, but looked deeply into Xiaocao's eyes, and said very solemnly: "Xiaocao, with all due respect, King Yang... Qi Dafei is not a good match!"
"A good match? Second sister, you and King Yang..." Xiao Shitou, a 100,000-watt light bulb, was extremely bright at this moment. If Zhu Junyang is here, he must give a thumbs up: boy, well done! !
Yu Xiaocao was silent for a moment. When talking about the relationship between the two, she was not shy at all, but just said matter-of-factly: "I'm not sure whether I like him or not. However, in the eyes of others, he Ruthless, even cruel and tyrannical, but in front of me, he has always been gentle, considerate, tolerant. He treats me very well, with the kind of wholehearted kindness! I can't think of any other man who can Better than him. So, I decided to give him a chance. If, before I was eighteen, he could be the same as before and even treat me better, why didn't such a man marry?"
Zhao Han's heart was as cold as the weather in the twelfth lunar month. He still tried to redeem something, and said softly: "Xiaocao, you are still young, maybe you haven't understood the true meaning of feelings. So, don't make a decision so hastily. I think you should talk to Yu Shuyu first. Tell me about this matter, from the perspective of an adult, you will think more comprehensively."
"Thank you, Brother Han! I will be careful!! We will stay in Dongshan Village for a few more days, come and play when you are not on duty!!" Yu Xiaocao's face was innocent, as if he hadn't noticed the fullness in his eyes. friendship.
Zhao Han sighed deeply in his heart, and turned to say: "Recently, our Hundred Households will patrol the nearby waters, and there may not be any chance to come here. I wish you all the best of luck..."
After speaking, he took a deep look at Xiaocao, turned around and left resolutely. It's just that there is a trace of melancholy in that tall and straight back...
