Chapter 425： Tea gets cold when people leave

Chapter 425 Tea gets cold when people leave

The morning at Broken Gold Beach was busy and lively. The hens of each family were cooing and clamoring for food.

The old yellow dog guarding the door will also wag its tail and pester its owner in front and behind, trying to beg for half a pancake to soak in vegetable soup, which is a rare delicacy for it.

The women were busy making breakfast, and the men hurried away after eating.

The fruit trees on the mountain must be wrapped with grass fences, and the path beyond the archway must be cleared of snow.

And Li Yong’s new yard is also about to be finished, so he has to help tidy it up and make it warm before he can move in.

The Li family is busier than other families. At least they have to make breakfast for nearly twenty people.

Fortunately, there are plenty of people to do the work.

In the courtyard of the Cui family, Grandma He and Shui Ling got up early. Shui Ling went back to the next door to help cook. Grandma He put two medicine jars on the brazier under the eaves and slowly simmered the medicine soup.

Soon, Shui Ling came back with a food box and called Aunt He to come into the house to eat together.

The girl had already sat up, enduring the pain on her body, braiding two braids for herself, and pulling two pieces of cloth on her petticoat as headbands, trying her best to make herself look neater.

She wanted to go down to the ground to wash up, but was stopped by Granny He and Shui Ling.

The two of them helped bring water for her to wash up. She went to wet the cloth first and helped her brother wipe her face and hands clean.

Grandma He and Shui Ling saw this and couldn't help but nod.

I don’t want to say the origins of these two people, at least this sister is very competent at her job.

Tao Hongying doesn't have to go to the restaurant these two days, and there are people taking over the restaurant in the valley. It's rare for her to be quiet, so she wakes up early and cooks delicious food for her family in various ways.

This morning I cooked golden millet porridge, steamed dumplings with pork and sauerkraut, and the bean paste buns that I didn’t have time to steam last night. I fried a shepherd’s purse, shredded pork pickles, a refreshing vinegar-based cabbage, and a fried egg with green onions.

Considering the two patients, Tao Hongying also brought the porridge to the Cui family and added brown sugar and jujubes.

The child had no fever last night and slept peacefully. When he woke up and saw these meals, he devoured them.

The girl wanted to stop her, but she didn't say anything. She just apologized slightly and pushed the last two steamed dumplings towards Granny He and Shui Ling.

Mammy He smiled and divided the steamed dumplings among their siblings, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be restrained, you can eat as much as you want.

"Our master's family is very kind. We slaves and slaves don't lack anything in the food we have with our master, so we don't lose anything."

Shui Ling bit into the sweet red bean paste bun and nodded vigorously.

“Mommy is right, you will know if you live here for a long time. Our fourth wife has the best craftsmanship, and the braised pork she makes is amazing! Give me a piece of meat, and you can eat a big bowl of rice!”

Grandma He smiled and glared at her, "You are just a glutton, but you fell into a lucky trap when you arrived at our house."

"Hehe, my mother said that I am stupid and blessed." Shuiling smiled, ate the red bean paste buns in his hand, and said, "Mommy, pick up the table, let me go and see if the masters have finished eating? I’m afraid the old lady will come over and sit down.”

“Okay, let’s go.” Grandma He waited for the two siblings to finish, and quickly cleared the table. As soon as it was cleaned up, the old lady came over with good news, followed by Tao Hongying and Dongmei.

The girl struggled and insisted on kneeling on the kang and kowtowing to the old lady and others, "Thank you, old lady, for saving my life."

The child's leg was injured and he couldn't move. He was half-supporting himself and bowed his head in salute.

The old lady helped the girl sit down with her own hands, patted the child again, and then sat on the edge of the Kang.

Grandma He brought the medicinal soup in, and the girl drank it in one gulp. The child drank it with some difficulty and looked eagerly at the chubby good news. Jiayin blinked and pinched her purse.

The child really drank a lot, and in the end his eyes and nose were so painful that they were squeezed together.

Jiayin then stepped forward with a smile, took out a piece of sesame candy from his purse, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The child clicked his lips twice, a little disappointed, as if the candy **** were not as sweet as yesterday...

Jiayin pretended not to know, pinched a piece of sesame candy and licked it slowly.

Tao Hongying pulled off her handkerchief and wiped her daughter's saliva.

The old lady asked, "Girl, our second son couldn't see you being beaten yesterday and rescued you. But I still don't know your names and where you live? Do you want to send someone to deliver a message to your home?" "

The girl's face was obviously gloomy. She took a deep breath before saying, "To answer the old lady's question, our siblings' home is in Qingmu Town, Yongze County, west of Xindu. Our family name is Gong, my name is Gong Yunshu, and my brother His name is Gong Yu.

My grandfather was a scholar, and my father was a scholar. He was relatively well-known in our Qingmu Town. More than a dozen family members came to live in the community and lived there for 20 years. It was very lively.

"But five or six years ago, my father went out to enjoy the flowers and was beaten to death by gangsters who robbed him of his money. My mother... soon followed!"

The girl choked up and held back her tears as she continued, "My grandpa was the only one left in the family. He was always in high regard and couldn't bear the blow. He passed away after being in bed for half a year, leaving only grandma and us siblings in the family.

“Life was good at first, but the tribesmen became greedy and kept coming to borrow money and grab fields. Grandma... also passed away half a month ago. As soon as the first seven were burned, the tribesmen kicked us out of the yard and took possession of the family property.

"My brother and I lived in a broken thatched hut at the entrance of the village, but our uncle said he would send us to Beijing to find work, but in fact he wanted to sell us into a flower house. My brother and I ran out looking for an opportunity, but we were chased on the street... "

Everyone was always on tenterhooks and gnashed their teeth in anger.

Tao Hongying said, "This is too bullying. It's obviously an attempt to kill people and rob family property!"

The old lady also sighed, "You don't have many relatives or friends at home. Can I stand up for you?"

Miss Yun Shu shook her head and responded with a wry smile, "My grandfather and father have both passed away. My grandfather's family is too far away and we don't have much contact on weekdays. Even if you help the Gong family, there will be nothing in return. Who wants to do anything?" Woolen cloth.

“Also, my uncle took fifty acres of my family’s land and gold and silver, and smoothed the relationship between the town and the county government. Even if our siblings want to resist, there is no way to sue.”

"There really is no king's law!" Tao Hongying shook her head, "Now that the emperor is under the emperor's feet around Xindu, there are still people who dare to be so arrogant!"

"There is never a shortage of evil people in this world, otherwise the siblings would not have been beaten half to death on the street. Fortunately, the second one met, otherwise they would have died." The old lady looked at Miss Yun Shu and comforted, " You should recuperate first and then think of a solution after the injury is healed."

Yun Shu quickly saluted and thanked him, but he pulled the wound on his back and groaned in pain.

The old lady stood up quickly and said, "You brothers and sisters, have a good rest. If you need anything, ask Aunt He to help. We will come see you when we have time!"

After saying that, she waved her hand and led everyone away with cheers, leaving Nanny He still behind to take care of her.

Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer were both waiting for news. After hearing the old lady tell them where the siblings were from, Li Zhensheng entered the city.

This year, although he often traveled to Quanzhou, he also recovered most of the shopkeepers and clerks who he relied on before.

I want to do something. Although it is not as convenient as the Marquis Mansion, it is enough.

But this time, he didn't plan to use the shopkeepers and clerks, so he still found Wang Fuler and his wife.
