When returning to Huainan, Gu Yun took a chicken. It was not hot for two days at home, so he asked Mingyu to stew it into chicken soup.

Mingyu and Feng Dong lived in the Northwest for several years. When they heard that Xie Jingxi returned to Huainan, they moved back without saying a word. They lived in the small yard where Zou Ling lived before. It was very convenient to travel.

Mingyu muttered as she plucked the chicken feathers from the poor little hen that she had to bring back a chicken all the way to stew. Now that she has brought back, she will keep it well. It's good to lay an egg. If she wants to eat, she doesn't feel the difference between Hangzhou's Chicken and Huainan's chicken.

Gu Yun's fallacy said that a little hen laying eggs alone was too lonely. If he asked him not to lay eggs, it was useless to keep a chicken that didn't lay eggs, so he had to stew it.

Mingyu's three-year-old son squatted while watching her mother pluck the chicken feathers, held his cheek and said, "Mom, this chicken is particularly beautiful. It's different from what I've usually seen."

"Is it nice?" Mingyu looked at the bald little hen for a while. She didn't see anything except a dead face.

"It's nice. The fur grid is smooth, the leather grid is white and tender, and the neck is long!"

Is the neck longer? Mingyu looked at it again and again, as if it was longer. It turned out that my uncle picked the chicken, which was good or bad.

With such psychological construction, the soup is especially delicious. Mingyu boiled the soup, Gu Yun drank a small bowl, and the rest is cheap. Mingyu and several cubs are as proud as eating Phoenix meat because it is a beautiful chicken.

Sure enough, my uncle picked a different chicken.

After Gu Yun slept, Mingyu came to talk to Xie Jingxi, "master Jingyu can raise chickens and ducks now. It's really not easy."

"Isn't it? Even the princess has gone down to grow vegetables, but it's good for the young couple. It's always more reassuring than being in the capital."

Mingyu was sewing a small coat. When she heard the speech, she stopped her work and said, "I should go to see the old lady another day. I'm sorry I didn't go to the grave to give her a pillar of incense."

"It doesn't matter. When you remember, go and have a look. Grandma can still complain about you."

"By the way, Miss Zhiyu came here a while ago, just in time for your absence. She said she was going to the northwest to talk about business. I'll see you when I look back." Mingyu picked up the needle again and said with a smile, "you can rest assured that she runs everywhere at a young age. Look at my big girl. I'm not sure I'll follow her when I go to the city."

Since Gu Xiaoyu was left in Guangdong, the girl has become a wild girl without restraint. She doesn't know that the sky is far away. With the connivance of Sheng Tong, she can go to heaven. If she has nothing to do, she will go to Shengyuan disaster in the name of Xie Jingxi. The child is smart and has special talent in doing business. After a few years of hard work, she follows several shopkeepers around to do business.

Xie Jingxi smiled, "after ten years old, she is not a child, not to mention that the child can't be restrained. Being a natural wild child, it's not good to be restrained. Her father and I can't take care of her. It's her own to break into any fame in the future."

Mingyu stopped talking. Uncle, it's not easy for the girl. She's exhausted her strength alone. The dolls might as well let them break in by themselves. Not to mention how many years their parents can rely on, no one can rely on themselves.

"Girl, you're right. It's time for them to break through. I know Miss Yu has talent and is as spiritual as my uncle. She can't afford to lose outside. I see that a girl in her early teens is no worse than an adult, not to mention Young Master Sheng Tong."

Mingyu is to let Xie Jingxi feel relieved, but Xie Jingxi's heart has always been very wide. If she doesn't relax, how can she face Gu Yun who is weakening day by day.

After Gu Yun came back from Hangzhou, his spirit was not as good as before. He was often in a coma. Every time he woke up in the morning, Xie Jingxi would hold his hand first and feel his pulse before his uneasy heart settled down.

This uneasiness day after day has become a part of life. She tries to be calm, but she can't be really calm. When Gu Yun is not awake, she will sit aside and watch him, trying to engrave his face in her brain, so that she can appear in her mind at any time when she thinks of him.

Because she is afraid that time will dilute everything. In the end, even her face will become shallow. When she can still touch him, she will remember it and never forget it.

Gu Yun often looks at her attentively when he wakes up, and then he doesn't want to close his eyes anymore. He really wants to look at her like this all the time. "Ah Xi, how can you always look the same? Although I'm still very confident in myself, I still feel that I don't deserve you."

Xie Jingxi smiled at him. "You haven't changed. You're still so thick skinned."

"Ah, that's true." Gu Yun stood up holding her hand. "It's sunny today. Go out with me."

The winter sun is warm. Most of the original flowers and plants in the yard have been removed, and all of them have been transplanted into Begonia. They were brought from Yuhang old yard together with yazizi. Yazizi grew up and went into his stomach. Begonia is more and more vigorous, and the garden will be full of flowers next spring.

Gu Yun raised his hand in front of his forehead and squinted at the sky. He didn't know what inspiration he got from the warm sun. He suddenly waved to Mingyu, "Mingyu girl, tell me what your best dish is?"

Mingyu bumped his ass and said without thinking, "I'm good at everything. If I have to say, I'm good at everything."

"Tut Tut, Mingyu girl, I don't like this. Can you make a taste of the pickled duck in the west of the city?"

Mingyu thought, "people always have a secret recipe. I don't say they can do the same, but it's OK to stay at the same time. Why, my uncle wants to eat pickled duck?"

"I really want to eat it. How about you buy some today, buy a duck by the way, and eat your cooking tomorrow?"

Of course, there's no problem. Mingyu can't do anything else. He didn't say anything to serve his girl uncle. Mingyu patted his chest and promised, "Qing, OK, you'll buy it for you."

Gu Yun smiled, "come on, Mingyu, I'm very optimistic about you, uncle."

Mingyu confidently promised to buy him a pickled duck and wondered if he could sell a favor. He asked what spices people used. Anyway, Feng Ji has always had a face. It's OK to ask about a recipe for a pickled duck.

Mingyu takes several young children into the city. First, she gives them to Feng Dong to take care of them. She takes a bus to the west of the city. When she enters the halogen restaurant, she learns that the pickled duck is limited in supply every day, and she sells out in half a day. Mingyu ponders his uncle's temper. If she can't eat it, I'm afraid she's not happy. She simply waits for Minger to buy it early in the morning and then go back to the village.

So in the evening, without Mingyu's couple, they had to make plenty of food and clothing by themselves. Gu Yun was in good spirits today. He walked up the mountain with Xie Jingxi for a little while, and gave old man Ji incense by the way. Then when he returned home, he felt strangely hungry. Xie Jingxi asked him, "what shall we eat in the evening?"

When Mingyu was away, eating something was probably not very good, but Gu Yun never liked to attack his daughter-in-law. After thinking for a while, he said, "just eat noodle soup. Mingyu castrated a lot of pickles earlier. It's good to eat with it."

Xie Jingxi frowned and said, "why hasn't she eaten enough of her noodle soup? She's about to eat and vomit. But it seems that she can only eat this right now." why don't you assign Mingyu today? You know that the pickled duck must be sold out, and you want her to go. "

Gu Yun leaned against the kitchen door frame to look at her daughter-in-law and face. "You don't understand. If you don't find an excuse to assign her away, don't you let the couple separate from each other? Mingyu is at least boss Feng Ji now. How can she be a servant girl at home every day? Besides, can't we also be alone? That's good."

Well, it's very good. It's just to grievance her stomach. Xie Jingxi accepted her life and made her unique noodle soup.

I don't know whether the couple are hungry or the pickles pickled by Mingyu girl. They ate two bowls of noodle soup alone and were very satisfied. Xie Jingxi sighed: "the noodle soup I made doesn't seem so bad. No, it's very delicious. I think I have to make it often in the future."

Gu Yun smiled but didn't speak. Xie Jingxi, who was busy cleaning up the mess, didn't notice the smile he stopped at the corner of his mouth. In fact, it was full of sadness.

"Oh, I can't sit down after eating too much, daughter-in-law. Let's go for a walk in the yard."

Xie Jingxi was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he specially put on thick fur clothes for him. They walked in the yard hand in hand. For a long time, there was no word. The full moon in the sky shone through the Begonia branches and shone on their dependent bodies, mottled and beautiful.

"Ah Yu, the girl and Sheng Tong are in the northwest. They said they would come back when they looked back. The last time they saw her was more than half a year ago, they must grow tall again." Xie Jingxi sat under the begonia with him. "How do you think the two children got together?"

Gu Yun snorted, "don't you see it? When we first met, the boy paid attention to our girl. Usually, no shrewd girl can run out of the palm of a man with ulterior motives. I didn't clean him up in the face of his parents. I had long been broken by me."

"Say so lively, you still like Sheng Tong. I think it's also very good. The child is stable and just constrains our crazy girl. In fact, I don't worry about her. The child knows well, but I know the child. Looking at zaohui, I'm very confused, especially in the other days when he comes back, it always makes people feel that he is actually at a loss."

Xie Jingxi said that Gu Yun was responsible for listening, and occasionally gave a signal that he was not asleep. When he heard about Zhian, he suddenly said, "speaking of it, Shen Huan's capital is an old man. Why haven't he married yet? He picked up a cheap son to provide for the elderly. He is more and more at ease, raising my son and thinking about my son's mother. You say what he wants to do, what he wants to do in the end!"

Xie Jing Xi smiled with a stomachache. "Who knows, why don't you two close the door and talk another day?"

Gu Yun sighed and held her in her arms, "How can the rival meet? In fact, he is thinking about it, and I have no choice. In other words, I really regret it. I knew I didn't want to talk fast at that time. If you remarry when I died, although I still think so now, I'm really unwilling. Shen Huan's guy has a better temper than me. I'm afraid you'll forget me."

Xie Jingxi was buried in his arms and his eyes were inexplicably sour. "It's really possible, so you'd better have a snack. Don't leave so early."

Gu Yun nodded on her forehead, "I'll try my best, daughter-in-law. I want to hear what you say. Where to start? Let's start with our meeting."

At that time, she was new and full of hate and confusion. Gu Yun, as a different existence, squeezed into her life without warning and never left again.

"In fact, I never told you that I would not hate you. On the contrary, I felt that you were sent by God to save me. Because of your appearance, I escaped the fatal disaster in my life. If it weren't for you, I might still not know how to break that game."

"Well, ah Xi has been thinking of me for a long time. How nice. Why don't you tell me?"

"But later, I blame you a little, because you will bring me into such a place, a place I don't want to go in all my life." Xie Jingxi paused. "Are you still listening?"

Gu Yun answered softly, "I'm listening."

"Look, I shouldn't mention these. In fact, I think now. Whether you were happy or sad in the past is because you were by my side, so you should be thicker skinned. You can't be replaced. Don't doubt yourself."

Gu Yun put his chin on her head and smiled contentedly. There seemed to be a faint fragrance floating in front of him. It was hazy and elegant. What aroma was it? He didn't distinguish it for a moment. Was it the aroma of ah Xi or the aroma of Begonia in full bloom? In fact, their aroma was very similar, and they had gone deep into his bone marrow.

He took a deep breath with some strength. The fragrance all over the world seemed to be accompanied by the falling of Begonia petals, which fell on them and fascinated his eyes. He sighed: "ah Xi, look, Begonia has opened..."

Xie Jingxi's sight was moistened by something. Everything around her became weightless. She heard her distant voice back to him, "yes, begonias bloom, and spring is not far away."
