Chapter 288 Don't Delay Me Killing Ducks
When I reached the fork in the road, I originally wanted to lead the way to my family.
But when he saw his aunt and sisters-in-law waiting at the door, Zhou Shouan turned abruptly.
"Second Master, Young Master, Shen Yang and I are working as laborers at my aunt's house. They know you are coming and they are welcoming you. Let's go to my aunt's house first."
Zhou Shouan led the way and introduced everyone to each other enthusiastically.
When Old Mrs. Zhou and her daughter-in-law saw them, they were like, “Oh my god, these guys are so handsome!”
And his aura is different. Could he be an official? !
Since they didn't say anything, we didn't dare to ask, so we just greeted them warmly.
Qi Rui and Qi Xu also bowed to everyone and followed them into the yard.
Zhou Shouan asked Shen Yang to take Rufeng and Afu to the backyard to tie up the horses, while he went into the kitchen to pour tea for the two young masters.
"Uncle Shouan, go and keep your friends company. I'll pour you some tea."
Zhou Mingshu blinked and let Zhou Shouan go out.
It can be seen that the identities of the two people outside are not simple. Uncle Shouan usually does things and speaks in a generous manner, but since the two people appeared, he seemed a little restrained.
Zhou Mingshu took out the best tea from the bottom of the box, brewed it, and brought over the kettle and teacup.
Compared with Chengzhou and the border, the temperature is indeed much higher.
Coupled with the horse racing on the road, everyone was exhausted.
Qi Rui took a sip of tea. He didn't have much hope for the tea in the countryside, but the tea in his mouth surprised him.
It wasn't as bad as he thought.
He was just a rough man, so drinking plain water was nothing to him. Who would have known that he could drink such fine tea in a remote mountain village?
He raised his eyes to look at the little girl next to him. Her bangs were as high as her eyebrows, and if she lowered her head slightly, she could hide her pair of lively eyes.
He took a subtle look at Old Zhou's home and saw that the farm tools in the yard looked like those of an ordinary farmer's household, but the several large pots and stoves in the corner seemed like they were doing some kind of business.
His old habit has come back again. It can't be called an old habit, it can only be said to be a professional habit.
Qi Xu and Zhou Shouan on the side were chattering about something, probably about accommodation or something, but Qi Rui didn't care much.
"Okay, you guys are busy. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Qi Rui drank two cups of tea and signaled Rufeng to take the horse and leave.
Rufeng, who had just sat down, immediately went to the backyard to lead the horse. The horse had just chewed the grass in its mouth and had not yet swallowed it.
"It's almost noon. If it's not urgent, let's eat first before leaving," suggested Old Mrs. Zhou.
"Thank you for your kindness, mother-in-law. I have something important to do, so I'll leave first."
Old Mrs. Zhou wanted to stay longer, but she felt it was inappropriate so she didn't try to stop him.
"Second brother, do you want to find someone familiar to lead the way?"
Qi Xu suggested from the side.
"No need, we'll just take a look and go back, you...you just stay here."
Qi Rui had a map of the surrounding area in his arms, so it didn't matter whether he brought people with him or not. They came here just to see where would be a good place to set up camp, so there was no need to do so. Bringing people with him would slow down the process much more.
After seeing Qi Rui off, the atmosphere among everyone became much better.
The truth is that Qi Xu is not afraid of strangers and he doesn't have any imposing aura. At first glance, he looks like a child who has never seen the world.
And she is so cute that people will like her when they see her.
Although she knew that he and Shou'an had arrived in Sanshui County on the same day and had rested for several days, Mrs. Zhou, out of hospitality, still brought out a lot of snacks and did not let him work.
Wherever there is delicious food, Si Ya is always there. The little girl nestled in Zhou Shouan's arms, peeling melon seeds from the plate.
In just a few days, Zhou Minghua was no longer afraid of this strange uncle, but instead became somewhat attached to him.
Zhou Shouan briefly explained the situation at home and in the village. Qi Xu understood and decided to stay at Old Zhou's house with Ah Fu for the time being.
Looking at such a large yard and so many people, Qi Xu found it very interesting.
When he was in the capital, there were just as many people in his family, but everyone called him "Master", which he found very boring.
Judging from the looks in everyone’s eyes now, they regard him as Brother Zhou’s comrade-in-arms, and they look at him the same way as they look at Shen Yang.
Ah Fu carried their luggage into the house. The beds were already made, with soft quilts.
Ah Fu simply packed his clothes and hurried out to help.
Before I knew it, the young master had joined the duck-killing team!
Ah Fu was really overwhelmed when he saw the young master covered in blood.
This is more terrifying than going to the battlefield!
These blood-stained clothes are all his work...
"Sir, sir, please be careful. You only brought two sets of clothes. Wear them with care."
"Go away, don't delay me from killing the duck."
Qi Xu had never washed clothes before, so he obviously didn't know the pain of washing clothes.
Now he holds ducks in one hand and a knife in the other. He kills one with a wave of his hand. He looks like a bloodthirsty butcher. He is even better than Wang Youcai in Yangliuqing. Everyone is stunned.
"Ahahaha, don't be afraid, my brother Qi was a specialist in killing chickens and ducks when he was in the barracks, so his movements are more efficient. This is our blessing..."
Zhou Shouan quickly found an excuse to fool people. What would happen if everyone knew that he killed everyone with one sword? !
Qi Xu didn't kill enough enemies on the battlefield, so now he ran to a small mountain village to harm ducks.
As expected, he became addicted to killing me.
The ducks all ran around him when they saw him!
When there are guests at home, it is natural to add two delicious dishes to the dinner table.
Considering that she was still young, Mrs. Zhou added two home-cooked dishes.
A dish of braised pork and a dish of fish head with chopped pepper are both Zhou Mingshu's specialties.
As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the spicy smell immediately spread throughout the kitchen.
"Wow, it's really appetizing, but it looks really spicy."
"Haha, of course. How can it be called chopped pepper fish head if it's not spicy?"
This chopped pepper fish head is one of Zhou Mingshu's favorite dishes. She has reduced the amount of pepper to 5.5%, so if it tastes spicy, you have no choice but to bear with it.
"Hmm, it's a new dish, let's try it~"
Zhou Mingqi's mouth was watering as he smelled the smell. The smell was so stimulating to his taste buds.
Not long after, Boss Zhou and others drove back. When they saw a strange child in the house, they naturally knew that this child was Shouan's good brother.
"Little brother, what's your name? How should we call you?"
"Uncle, my name is Qi Xu. You can just call me Qi Xu."
"Oh, what a nice name! You have the same surname as General Qi! Good boy, are you a distant relative of General Qi?!"
When Boss Zhou heard Qi Xu's name, he cheered.
