Chapter 406: Big Head
When Princess Ning'an heard that her second cousin really brought a gift, she happily drank the tea in the cup.
"Second cousin, I know you love me the most. When my eldest and third cousins came back, they didn't bring back even a single goose feather."
Thinking of the previous situation, Ning An pouted unhappily.
Qi Rui smiled after hearing this, "It's not that they don't love you. They broke camp from the border and traveled all the way to Kyoto. How could they have the time to choose a gift for you? They must be thinking of making it up to you when they return to Kyoto."
"Tell me the truth, did they make it up to you?"
"Hehe, my second cousin is really observant. It is just as you said. My eldest and third cousins took time out to take me to Wanbao Pavilion."
"Haha, I knew it."
The cousins were enjoying their meal here, and after a while, the boy Qi Xu also came over.
"Cousin Ning An, I trotted over here when I heard you were here. I missed you so much."
You can tell how fast he ran by looking at his breathless appearance.
"Ah Xu, I haven't had the chance to go to your yard to look for you yet. Have you had breakfast? Sit down and let's eat together."
Ning An happily grabbed Qi Xu's sleeve and pulled him over.
"No, no, I've already eaten. I'll watch you guys eat."
There were three people at the table, and only Qi Rui was eating obediently.
Ning An kept talking while eating bird's nest.
That mouth chirped happily like a sparrow returning to the forest.
Qi Xu held his cheek and listened to her talk, laughing out loud from time to time.
He waited until Qi Rui finished eating.
"Second cousin, what are your plans for the future? If not, let's go boating on the lake."
"Cruising the lake? I'm afraid that's not possible. Let Qi Xu accompany you. There are still many things to be dealt with in the army. After that, I have to go to the palace again..."
When Ning An heard that his second cousin still had so many things to deal with, he frowned unhappily and pouted.
But she couldn't force her second cousin to play with her. She had official duties to attend to, and it was arranged by her father. She really had no way to express her suffering...
"Okay, okay, then I'll come see you when you're not busy. I won't go boating on the lake. I want to go back and take a nap first."
She didn't sleep well the night before and got up early today, so she was a little too excited.
Now that the lake boat trip was canceled, she felt a little discouraged and now felt a little tired.
"Okay, let's talk about it after I finish my military work. I haven't been back for a few years, and I have some old friends to meet."
"Tsk~ They are still the same as before. There is nothing good to see."
Ning An helped the maid fill the cart and went back.
She came in a hurry today and did not go to see her aunt and uncle.
"Second brother, I haven't seen cousin Ning An for a year, and she is prettier than before. Tsk tsk tsk tsk... What should I do? If San Ya knew, she would be so sad!"
Qi Xu hugged his shoulders, looking like he was enjoying the show.
Then he was hit on the head by Qi Rui.
"Go wherever you want to go. If you ruin my good deeds, I'll beat you up."
Qi Rui glared and walked away angrily.
Qi Xu stroked his aching head, looking miserable.
Why is he so unlucky!
It's true that a dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't recognize a good heart.
When he heard that Ning An's cousin was coming, he immediately ran over to help him out. He just gave a kind reminder, but he got a big slap in the face!
-
In the more than one month since Qi Rui passed away, Zhou Mingshu's life has lost a lot of happiness.
Either working in the fields or working in the restaurant, in short, the life is occupied by all kinds of work.
That's what life is like in a mountain village.
It is autumn after all, the season of harvest!
Wherever you go, you can find some ripe fruits to please your taste buds.
Although it is very busy, it is also very happy.
"San Ya, Master Chengfeng and the others are coming. Is our pouf ready?"
"Okay, okay, one for each of you, get your baskets ready, and go up the mountain."
Digging kudzu root, the old place.
Last year, my brothers and sisters dug more than 100 kilograms, but it was not enough to eat.
This year is different, it’s needed everywhere and everyone likes to eat it.
Not to mention a hundred kilograms, she would dig it out even if it was a thousand kilograms.
She first taught them to identify what the kudzu vine was, how to dig in the soil, and then how to pick the fruit without damaging the roots.
After all the people brought had learned how to do it, they dispersed to look for and dig Pueraria root.
Although there is such a process, most of the Pueraria lobata roots were found by Zhou Mingshu.
She found it first, then pointed it out to them and asked them to dig.
In just two hours, the basket was full.
Someone was sent back, and the rest of the people followed Zhou Mingshu to continue digging.
Dig out more so that you can filter out more powder.
When the weight can no longer be distinguished by the naked eye, she can cheat.
It doesn’t matter if you are hungry or thirsty, you can pick any fruit you want in the mountains.
Wild jujube and sea buckthorn can be seen everywhere.
They also encountered a litter of wild boar cubs, and they wanted to hunt a few of them to make roast suckling pigs.
But they really didn't expect that there was a bigger one behind. They only had a buttocks and no other useful tools.
Just let them live first...
It was not until noon that they went back together.
After everyone carried their things to the yard, they followed Zhou Mingshu to the restaurant for a big meal.
Fish, shrimp, crab meat, everything they want to eat.
As soon as they heard that the Zhou family needed someone to work, the brothers in the barracks rushed to sign up.
If you run slower, you won’t be able to catch it.
Fortunately, Lord Chengfeng felt sorry for them, and the brothers who signed up took turns coming, so everyone had the opportunity to enjoy the delicious food.
There is no high-ranking official in charge of the mine, and production demand has been met ahead of time, so everyone has been a little more relaxed recently and not as tired as before.
Zhou Mingshu was busy serving plates and bowls to everyone when a man walked in from the door.
"Uncle Dahai, why are you here? Come and sit down."
Wang Dahai scratched his face shyly, "San Ya, I came to give you some red eggs. My wife has given birth. Thank you for taking care of me recently."
"Uncle Dahai, congratulations on becoming a father. It's not really caring, but we are all neighbors, so we should take care of each other."
When Old Mrs. Zhou saw people coming over, she happily asked Wang Dahai whether he had a son or a daughter, and asked whether Narcissus had difficulty in giving birth. She did not ask her sisters-in-law to help.
It can be seen that Wang Dahai is not good at talking. He answers every question asked by Old Lady Zhou with a blushing face. He is a socially phobic person.
There was always some meat soup in the restaurant, so Old Mrs. Zhou washed a large bowl and put more meat in it.
"Da Hai, take this back and give it to your wife to drink. It will nourish her body and make it easier to raise the child."
"Yes, thank you, auntie. I'll go back first."
"Okay, go back quickly and cover the soup so it doesn't get cold when you get home."
