Chapter 37 - Aunt

When he got home, Ruan Mingzi applied some herbs to Ruan Mingyan and wrapped the clean cotton strips that had been dried before on Ruan Mingyan's hand.

After doing this, Ruan Mingzi quickly cut off the fish's stomach and removed the internal organs. After washing it with well water, he cut a flower knife on the carp, then pulled a green onion into the vegetable field in the yard, sprinkled some salt on the fish, and put it in a basin with the cut green onion pieces to pickle it.

Taking advantage of pickling fish, Ruan Mingzi told Ruan Mingyan to stay at home to look after the house, and went to the village who sold tofu to buy a piece of tofu the size of a palm.

Ruan Mingzi cut the tofu into small pieces, and calculated that the processed fish was almost marinated. Then he heated the bottom of the pot, poured in the lard that had been boiled before, fryed the fish until both sides were golden, poured in water and boiled, put in the tofu, covered the lid of the pot, stewed for a short while, and a fragrant carp stewed tofu was ready.

Ruan Mingyan hadn't eaten fish for a long time, but she picked a large piece of tender white fish meat and put it in Ruan Mingzi's bowl. She said "Ahhh" twice and signaled Ruan Mingzi to eat it first.

Ruan Mingzi stopped wiping Ruan Mingyan's heart and ate with a smile.

Ruan Mingyan wanted to pick up another piece for her. Ruan Mingzi smiled and blocked the bowl: "Let's eat together, if you pick up another piece for me, the fish will be cold."

The two sisters ate the fish in a harmonious manner.

After using it, Ruan Mingyan was probably tired and went to bed early. Ruan Mingzi covered Ruan Mingyan with a dress, sat by the kang and looked at Ruan Mingyan's sleeping little face, confirming that she was really asleep, and then she closed the door and went out with a slight effort.

Although it was already dark, it was not too late. Ruan Mingzi found the girl's house with a little bit of scattered memories of the original owner.

The girl with a pigtail surnamed Ge, and she had a dog in the yard. As soon as Ruan Mingzi knocked on the door, the dog in the yard barked wildly.

Someone in the yard drank the dog, and the dog whimpered, but it became quiet.

Then the man asked loudly, "Who?"

Ruan Mingzi said loudly: "I am Ruan Mingzi, I have something to do to find Zhenhua."

Zhenhua is the name of a girl with a braid.

"San Ya, the Ruan family is looking for you!"

There was a scattered footsteps in the yard, and soon someone opened the door. Ge Zhenhua keenly turned sideways, covered the door, and looked at Ruan Mingzi curiously: "What's the matter with me?"

Ruan Mingzi thanked Ge Zhenhua's previous reminder: "...It's a good thing you told me, if something happened to Yanyan by the river, it would be bad."

Ge Zhenhua smiled a little shyly: "It's okay, no thanks, I happened to see it."

Ruan Mingzi paused and asked Ge Zhenhua again: "...Yanyan was stolen by someone at that time and chased her. Did you see who else went there at that time?"

Ge Zhenhua thought with a breath of breath and said hesitantly: "I really didn't pay attention to who else has passed by after saying this... But later I saw your cousin Ruan Chengzhang coming from there."

Ruan Mingzi knew it and thanked Ge Zhenhua.

No wonder Ruan Mingyan refused to say it!

The little girl probably remembers why they were kicked out by the Ruan family for the sake of.

She was afraid that she would suffer a loss in order to seek justice for her.

Ruan Mingzi smiled dimly.

Previously, Mao dared to come to Ruan Yudong with great fanfare. It seemed that the matter with Ruan Chengzhang should be almost done.

But who said that what has been done will not cause trouble!

A dark light flashed in Ruan Mingzi's eyes.

"Ruan Mingzi," Ge Zhenhua, who was beside him, called softly, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Ruan Mingzi smiled and thanked Ge Zhenhua again: "There is nothing else, but thank you today."

Ge Zhenhua said "hi" and waved her hand: "...If it's okay, I'll go back first. It's still early, so you can hurry up and go home."

Ruan Mingzi nodded, thinking about something in her heart, but she didn't show any sign of it. She said goodbye to Ge Zhenhua with a warm smile and left lightly.

The next day, Ruan Mingzi went to the wild forest of Gouji Mountain again. In just two days it was her grandmother's birthday. Ruan Mingzi planned to hunt some mountain goods to celebrate her grandmother's birthday.

But when she was walking up the mountain with a crossbow on her back, she happened to meet an acquaintance walking from the mountain road to the Yuyuan slope.

When the man saw Ruan Mingzi, he was a little surprised, and then quickly came forward: "I'm not right? Is it the eldest girl from the eldest brother's house?"

When Ruan Mingzi saw her, she raised her eyebrows and smiled and called "Grand Aunt".

If anyone in the Ruan family has a little kindness to Ruan Mingzi and Ruan Mingyan, it will be the woman in front of him.

She is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Zhao, Ruan Feng, who is two years older than Ruan Mingzi's father. In my memory, Ruan Mingzi's cheap father once said that he was brought up by his elder sister and grew up in the basket behind his elder sister since he was a child. Whether he was fighting pig grass or washing clothes, he would carry him on his back.

The relationship between the siblings is pretty good, but Ruan Feng got married early and married to Luomagou, which was separated by two hills. Later, she was devoted to her husband's family and occasionally returned to her parents' home in a hurry. I heard that it was because her mother-in-law was not easy to deal with, so she was not allowed to come back.

When Ruan Mingzi saw Ruan Feng wearing a small white flower on his head, she saw that Ruan Feng didn't look like a close person and died. She guessed that Ruan Feng's mother-in-law, who was not easy to deal with, had passed away.

Speaking of which, Ruan Feng was quick-witted and mediocre since she was young. Although she was cowardly and mediocre, she was good at both front and back of the house. At the age of twelve or thirteen, many people came to ask for marriage. Later, Mrs. Zhao greed for the bride gifts given by the other party and married Ruan Feng to a family in Luomagou to fill in the house.

The family's family is pretty good in Lumagou, but just one thing is that the mother-in-law is young and widowed and is very harsh on her daughter-in-law. The family had already died of a daughter-in-law before, and it is said that she was tortured to death by her mother-in-law.

At the moment, Ruan Feng was carrying a lot of things in her hand. Although she was wearing white flowers, her spirit and complexion were very good. I think she had done it.

"Good boy, I haven't seen you for a long time. My aunt almost didn't recognize you. You are getting better and better." Ruan Feng smiled in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Ruan Mingzi smiled and said, "Go to hunt in the mountains."

Ruan Feng frowned in disagreement: "You little girl's family is so dangerous in the mountains. How can you go to the mountains?...If you play, just play near the foot of the mountain. Don't walk into the mountains."

Ruan Mingzi didn't argue with Ruan Feng much, she just responded with a smile.

Ruan Feng remembered something, so he quickly set off a hand, touched it from his arms, took out two pairs of beautiful gauze, and greeted Ruan Mingzi with a smile: "Come on Da Ya, give it to me, my aunt didn't have much money in her hands before, and she had never bought anything for you. You can take this, one pair of yours, and one pair for Si Ya. You four sisters have it."

Siya refers to Ruan Mingyan, who arranged according to the girls from the Ruan family.

Seeing that Ruan Mingzi was not moving, Ruan Feng stepped forward a few steps and stuffed them into Ruan Mingzi's hand without saying anything. He looked around nervously. Seeing that there were no one else on the mountain road, he whispered: "Don't be afraid, but you have collected this gauze flower. Wait a few days later, Erya and Sanya have passed the freshness before taking it out to bring it."

After saying that, he stuffed the yarn into Ruan Mingzi's hands without any explanation.
