The next day.
Song Xintong wakes up when he sleeps on the third stroke of the sun. He opens his eyes and looks at the blue tent top and the familiar furnishings in the house. He is relieved at the bottom of his heart.
Although last night and autumn mother-in-law they said very light, but the fear is real. Although he had come back, he felt the empty position around him when he just woke up and thought he was still locked up in the county government.
Fortunately, I came back.
"Sister, are you awake?" Dabao's voice started outside.
Song Xintong opened the tent and looked out. He vaguely saw two figures outside the window pane. "Wake up."
Xiaobao asked carefully, "sister, may I come in?"
"Come in." Song Xintong sat up, leaning on the big pillow sewn by her mother, looking at the door.
The twins carefully opened the door and stepped in. They ran to the bedside one by one. Xiaobao half lay on the bedside and looked at her: "sister, how are you
Song Xintong said, "didn't you see my sister last night? Sister is fine. It's OK. "
There were so many people last night that he and his brother didn't talk to ah Jie. Xiao Bao flattened his mouth: "ah Jie, you are not at home for several days. My brother and I are very worried about you."
Looking at Xiaobao's worried look, song Xintong felt their heads: "sister is OK, didn't her brother-in-law tell you?"
Dabao sighed and said, "my brother-in-law is not at home all the time. We can't find anyone to ask. If my aunt didn't say you're OK, Xiaobao and I would like to go to the county government to find her."
"We wanted to go, but we were caught by mother-in-law Qiu before we went to the village." Xiaobao a face of depression, "I also sister with delicious chicken legs, also did not send into."
"Sister, do you have chicken legs in the county government?" Dabao also scratched the bedside and asked, "my brother and I want to send things to my sister, but Aunt Wang said we can't send them in, and we don't take us to the county to see her."
"Sister ate it. She ate several big chicken legs." Although they were from the county magistrate's wife, they were also eaten. Song Xintong pulled them to bed and sat down: "you two don't have to go to school today?"
"Did you forget? After the elder sister was taken to the county government, her brother-in-law was away all day, so we didn't go to school. " Dabao then added: "Today my brother-in-law is not here, so we don't have to study."
Song Xintong asked, "where did he go?"
"I went to the county with my mother-in-law Qiu." Xiaobao said.
Song Xintong nodded. Last night, they agreed that they would go to the county to complain, but she got up late and didn't go to see the excitement together.
"Sister, are you afraid?" Dabao kneaded around for a long time, then asked: "I heard mother-in-law Qiu say that the magistrate is bad."
"A little scared." Song Xintong said.
"Did the magistrate bully elder sister?" Dabao asked immediately.
"That's not true, but the prison is terrible, but it's gloomy. There are a lot of worms and prisoners in it." Song Xintong picked some and said, "sister, I don't think it's important to stay in prison any more in my life."
"Sister is not going." Xiaobao takes song Xintong's hand and nods his head.
"Well, as long as we don't do bad things, we won't go again." Although song Xintong is still worried that someone will plot to frame her in the future, as long as she doesn't do something bad, the other party won't hurt her.
"Well, if we don't do bad things, we won't go." Dabao also emphasized it.
Xiaobao tilted his head, puzzled and said: "but sister didn't do bad things, she was also caught."
"Because bad people set us up." Song Xintong didn't want to hide them. He just said something to keep them on guard: "but as long as we don't do something bad, we won't go to prison again in our life."
"Sister, those people are too bad!" Xiaobao angrily scolded: "they are all bad people and have no conscience."
"Well, without conscience, Dabao and Xiaobao will remember that they can't be such a man without conscience. Even if you win for a while, you will come back later." Song Xintong that Chen county magistrate Bureau cited Liezi: "you see how powerful he used to be. Now that he has been sued by so many people, he will surely come to no good end."
"Well, you can't be a bad official. You'll be beheaded." Xiaobao said.
Song Xintong picks eyebrows: "who told you that you would behead?"
"Grandma Qiu, they said that bad officials were beheaded."
"Oh, that can't be bad." Song Xintong stressed.
"Well." Dabao nodded heavily.
"Sister, are you hungry?" Xiaobao took out a piece of sugar from his body and handed it to song Xintong: "elder sister, eat sugar."
"Sister doesn't eat sugar. Aunt Wang is heating chicken porridge in the pot. It's still hot. I'll bring it to sister." Dabao is about to jump out of bed and run outside.
"Don't worry, sister got up and went to eat in the front hall." Song Xintong lifted the thin quilt on his body and said, "is it feasible for Dabao to help elder sister take the clothes hanging above?"
"I'll take it for my sister." Dabao immediately ran to the clothes shelf beside him, while Xiaobao went down to take her shoes and put them on the pedal: "sister, I'll take your shoes."
"Thank you, Dabao and Xiaobao." Song Xintong put on his coat and embroidered shoes, then went to the inner clean room, washed and went to the front garden.
Dabao and Xiaobao have already gone to the front yard to tell Wang that they have already brought breakfast on the table, including chicken porridge, salad, omelet, soup dumplings and a bowl of tofu.
Song Xintong was eating porridge and pancakes. When he was full, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and sat down under the osmanthus tree in the yard. The mushrooms hanging on the bamboo thread had dried and were shaken by the wind in the late summer.
This should be the mushroom she and Daya picked up in the mountains on the 16th day. The sun dried bamboo thread had already dried, but mother Lu forgot to take it. I think it was because she was so flustered that she couldn't take care of it.
Song Xintong took a small basket and slowly collected the mushrooms on it.
Wang washed the dishes and chopsticks and came out of the kitchen. He quickly came forward and took the basket: "girl, you are sitting on the couch. These maidservants will do it."
Song Xintong moved a few times and felt tired, but he didn't delay. He threw a few pieces of mushrooms into the basket and sat down on the couch under the tree with a small gasp: "after playing well these days, he felt a little tired."
"Girl, your stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and you are tired when you walk." Wang brought a cup of chrysanthemum tea to song Xintong and put it on the side table: "girl, it will be heavier later."
Song Xintong let out a sound. He thought it was like carrying a big watermelon. After a long time, he felt very tired. "There are still three or four months to go, and there are still many to grind."
"Sister, you see a lot of osmanthus." Dabao picked up the osmanthus that had fallen from the tree. "Auntie Wang said that this osmanthus can be used as osmanthus cake and osmanthus tea. Do you think these are OK, sister?"
"It's all on the ground. Don't take it." Song Xintong looked up at the osmanthus tree on her head. It was fragrant, not sweet and not greasy. It tasted very good. The fine sunlight fell on her cheek. It was very comfortable.
"So." Xiaobao busily threw all the Osmanthus fragrans he picked up on the ground, and then he wanted to grab the fallen branches and pick Osmanthus fragrans from them.
"Don't move. This is what your brother-in-law likes. If you don't take it off, be careful." Song Xintong thinks that Lu Xiucai's preference is a wonderful flower. He doesn't like peony and white plum, but rather the small sweet scented osmanthus.
He said that sweet scented osmanthus can be pure dust, thick can far overflow, can be called a must. In mid autumn, when the cluster of Osmanthus is in full bloom and the night is quiet and round, you can enjoy the wine and the fragrance of the old osmanthus, which makes you feel refreshed and happy.
I don't know where I learned my hobby.
But it was so fragrant that she thought the Yellow horned orchid couldn't match it.
"I won't take it." Xiaobao quickly took back his hand, "sister, you are now helping my brother-in-law speak, do not help me and my brother."
"You've done something wrong. How can sister help you?" Song Xintong glanced at them, and Xiaobao grumbled wrongly, childish.
"That..." Xiaobao thought about it, too. It seems that every time her brother-in-law beat them, it was because they didn't recite the endorsement well. It was very humiliating to say that. She shook her head. Let's not say it. She was upset again.
"If you are obedient and sensible, your brother-in-law will not beat you." Song Xintong reached out and took down the osmanthus on Xiaobao's head: "when my brother-in-law comes back, you two ask if he can pick these flowers. If you can, my sister will make osmanthus cakes for you."
As soon as the voice fell, Lu Yunkai's voice came from the outside: "what do you ask me?"
