The words that were obviously extremely gentle fell into Jiang Sheng's ears, but they made her burst into tears even more.
The little girl grabbed the third brother's collar tightly, sobbing while speaking, "Sanguo, I thought you ignored me. If you don't talk to me, you are a bad guy..."
"Yes, yes, third brother is a bad guy and scared little Jiang Sheng." Fang Heng tried his best to be patient and clumsily wiped his tears with his sleeves.
When the crying finally stopped, Fang Heng breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and met three pairs of reproachful eyes again.
He swallowed and tried to explain, "I was fine just now, I just thought about something."
"Third brother can't move when he thinks about it, just like a stone sculpture." Wen Zhiyun was dissatisfied, "Could he be the reincarnation of a stone spirit?"
"I think he doesn't regard us as his own people. If something happens, he will figure it out by himself." Compared with Yin and Yang, Chang Yan has never been afraid of anyone.
Sweat broke out on Fang Heng's forehead.
When he saw Xu Mo, he prayed in his heart that his eldest brother was a decent man and not like his younger brothers.
But I didn't expect that Brother Xu smiled slightly and said, "My earnest words for a long time are not as important as Jiang Sheng's two tears. It seems that in the heart of the third brother, we brothers are ranked very low."
It's better not to say anything.
Fang Heng felt extremely regretful. If he had known it, he would have frightened these guys for a while. He would rather pretend to be a stone sculpture than face three pairs of white teeth.
"OK OK."
In the end, it was the soft and kind-hearted Wen Xiaosi who smoothed things over, "It's almost noon. Auntie must have cooked some food. We have to go back for lunch."
Fang Heng nodded immediately, "Yes, yes, go back and eat."
Only then did a group of people get into the carriage.
Rushing back to Hairpin Hua Xiaoyuan from the western suburbs of Anshui County, they met Zheng Ruqian, a travel-worn master and servant.
After calculation, they had been gone for twenty-seven or eight days, and no one knew where they went. Their originally clean clothes were all torn, their buns were messy, and there were two holes in the soles of their shoes. It was said that they were fleeing. Everyone who comes here believes it.
Seeing Jiang Yi, Zheng Ruqian's eyes lit up and he drove the carriage over, "Where have you been? Where is the third child? Where are the others?"
Wang Xiaosong explained later, "When we returned to Hairpin Flower Courtyard, my aunt said that you were called away by a girl from the Wang family. The young master was worried, so he came out to look for her without even changing his clothes."
This is what brothers are.
This is family.
The second brother, who had just returned home after a long journey, went out to look for someone without even drinking. The eldest brother, the fourth brother, and the fifth brother, who were clearly worried but still used blame to distract him, were the strongest and refused to shed tears even when beaten or scolded. , but little Jiang Sheng cried for him.
With such a family around, why should he be defeated? He should be covered in armor and be extremely strong.
Fang Heng resisted the red circles in his eyes, poked his head out of the carriage, and pretended to be relaxed, "Second brother, I'm fine, nothing happened."
Zheng Ruqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Sheng turned around and stuck out his head, complaining, "No, the third brother was so scared just now."
Zheng Ruqian's expression returned to seriousness, and he glanced sideways at Fang Heng, his face full of: I'll settle the score with you later.
The group of people hurried back to Hairpin Flower Courtyard.
Aunt Zhang had already prepared hot water and new clothes. When she finally saw Zheng Ruqian, she rushed into the house distressedly, "Go take a shower quickly and come back after changing clothes. The shoes are also prepared for you. They are all newly bought by Jiang Sheng."
Wang Xiaozhu also urged his brother with a straight face, "Go and wash up quickly."
She earned some money from working as a medical woman in a hospital, more money than Wang Xiaosong in detail, so she was very generous during the Chinese New Year and bought clothes, shoes and a purse for Wang Xiaosong.
The newly washed clothes carry the warmth of the sun and the scent of acacia. Because of their high quality and softness, Wang Xiaosong couldn't put it down and touched them. Finally, he took a deep breath and covered his chest, "Mom, my sister will also buy me clothes." ”
Dependence on each other is never about one party relying on the other, but about supporting each other, going hand in hand, and working together.
With great difficulty, the two escapees were restored to cleanliness and tidiness.
Aunt Zhang also brought out the steaming food, placed it on the largest table in the hairpin courtyard, and greeted everyone, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
There's nothing like a bowl of warm rice on a cold winter day.
When the brothers and sisters who were still a little arrogant heard this shout, they all swarmed over and stopped quarreling, cold war, and rolling their eyes.
They each found a suitable position and sat down, holding bowls of hot soup in their hands, like piglets waiting to be fed, "Auntie, I want a spoonful, I want a spoonful, give me a spoonful too."
Aunt Zhang smiled while holding the big pot, gradually rediscovering the feeling of feeding pigs in Shilipu Village.
After three rounds of meals.
Zheng Ruqian finally calmed down and took a deep breath, "The life outside is really tough. It's cold and hungry. I have to hurry and come back before thirty. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." Xiao Jiang Sheng cried. nose."
Jiang Sheng pouted, "I won't cry."
He had obviously cried just now.
"But there are benefits to traveling so far. I finally left Anshui County. The world is really big. There are many counties outside Anshui County. Their climate is different from ours, and the vegetables they grow are different. The same, even the taste of food is different." Zheng Ruqian danced and spitted, "Going south from Anshui County is Anyang County, and further south is the boundary of Danyang County. The people there actually eat sweets. Their food is so sweet, I almost ate it to death..."
"But their duck is delicious." Wang Xiaosong added.
Zheng Ruqian turned back and glared at him, "You stole my words."
Wang Xiaosong shrank back, not daring to say a word, because he was the boss.
"There is a specialty duck in Danyang County. It is roasted in the fire with fruit wood until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender, and then dipped in sweet marinade. The taste is so delicious." Zheng Ruqian took out two ducks from the bag as if offering a treasure. "I specially asked someone to make two of them when I came here. Although they are not as delicious as when they are freshly baked, they should still be edible when they are hot."
After all, it was food from thousands of miles away, so everyone looked around curiously.
"Did the second brother only come back after arriving in Danyang County?" Jiang Sheng asked.
Zheng Ruqian waved his hand, "How can it be possible? It only takes seven or eight days from us to Danyang County, but my trip took a full fifteen days."
"Yes, my boss went to Yuhang County." Wang Xiaosong opened his mouth again.
This time Zheng Ruqian's eyes really looked like knives.
Even Wang Xiaozhu glared over.
Wang Xiaosong lowered his head like a quail and decided to seal his mouth.
"Where is Yuhang County?" Xiao Jiang Sheng, who had only been to Anshui County as far away as possible, asked curiously.
"Yuhang is in the south of Danyang. I heard that you might see the sea if you go further south. I regret that I don't have enough time, otherwise I would have to bring some fresh things." Zheng Ruqian was still talking arrogantly.
The outside world is really big, with Danyang Yuhang in the south, Langya Jiaodong in the north, Xin'an Beiqiao in the east, and Hanzhong Fengjing in the west.
There are always countless customs and customs, and there are always countless unfamiliar faces, so why live in Anshui County and bring endless troubles to my brothers, brothers and sisters.
Fang Heng looked nervous and opened his mouth several times before finally mustering up the courage, "I plan to leave here."
