"...Oh." Qi Yan hesitated for a moment, pursed his thin lips, and slowed down his eating speed.

Xiaobao and Taotao also slowed down their eating speed.

Du Xuan nodded with satisfaction, turned around and walked out of the room.

In the kitchen, Chen Jinniang was tidying up what she could. "Why did you come out? You should eat something with them first. You've been tired all day."

Du Xuan shook her head, "I'm too hungry, so I won't eat for now. While the soup and rice haven't been cooked yet, you can go to the village chief's house first."

Chen Jinniang nodded, but there was some hesitation in her expression. Du Xuan sighed as she looked at it, weighed another two kilograms of meat, took two pieces of blood to fill the cake, and brought along a fair scale borrowed from the village chief's house.

"Let's go together, okay?"

After hearing this, Chen Jinniang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on her face, "Okay, let me go alone. I'm really a little bit..."

Liu Dabao and Xiaoguai were sitting in the yard. They had washed the stools they had used when killing pigs. The two brothers were sitting on the stools, holding two pieces of blood-filled cakes and gnawing them.

When he saw them coming out, he bared his teeth and smiled, "Aunt Xuan! This is so delicious!"

But Du Xuan didn't tell them to eat more. Instead, she told them, "Eat less. There will be something delicious later."

"Yes!" Liu Dabao nodded vigorously.

The two brothers watched Du Xuan and Chen Jinniang walk out of the yard.

Liu Xiaoguai's eyes were bright, "Brother, can we eat such delicious food again in the future?"

Liu Dabao's eyes were also bright, "Yes! As long as I work hard with Uncle Qi and Aunt Xuan! My dear, I can see that Aunt Xuan and Uncle Qi are very soft-hearted people, as long as I can help

Do some work, they won't let us go hungry."

"Yeah!" Liu Xiaoguai nodded vigorously, but he felt a little troubled again, "But...but I'm of no use. I don't know how to do any work. Brother, am I too much of a burden on you?"

Liu Dabao touched his younger brother's head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My only relative is you, and there is nothing else. How can it be a drag?"

Liu Dabao thought about it carefully, "Although you are still young and can't help with the work, you can take care of Xiaobao. I can see it. Aunt Xuan and Uncle Qi both love Xiaobao very much. Xiaobao can't see.

, it’s quite painful to begin with. Just take more care of Xiaobao and protect him from now on. Aunt Xuan and Uncle Qi will not treat us badly."

Liu Xiaoguai nodded vigorously, "I will definitely protect him!"

Of course Du Xuan didn't know what kind of decision her brothers had made because of her kindness.

She jingled a bell and carried a scale to the door of the village chief's house, and asked Chen Jinniang to knock on the door.

"Should I knock?" Chen Jinniang was a little unsure.

"Well, you knock." Du Xuan glanced at several yards around the village chief's house, but the lights hadn't been turned off yet. "Knock and call people at the same time. Otherwise, just like the one I went out with Xue Liangjun before, it was so late at night.

Come over and spread the word, that’s really..."

Du Xuan shook her head helplessly, "Knock, so people know that we came here together to return the scale. To be honest, if I hadn't asked you to come with me today, I would have come by myself without even intending to enter the courtyard gate."

of."

"Yes." Chen Jinniang quickly understood Du Xuan's concerns and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Hey, it's coming, it's coming!" Mrs. Zhou was obviously still waiting. She didn't sleep at all. She answered the door as soon as she knocked.

He quickly opened the door, "Xuan Niang is here, eh? Jin Niang is coming too?"

Chen Jinniang smiled a little sheepishly, "Yes, Aunt Zhou, I didn't delay you, did I?"

"No, we are getting ready to eat. Do you want to eat something together?" Mrs. Zhou asked, which was just a polite word. Everyone knows that many households in the village eat meat today. It's not easy.

When you buy some meat to eat, no one wants to be given a bite by outsiders.

Chen Jinniang waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I just came here with Xuan Niang to give you... a scale."

"Oh, you guys are so polite." Mrs. Zhou smiled so much that her eyes narrowed when she saw the meat in the basket Du Xuan was carrying.

Du Xuan whispered, "I also made some food myself. I made it by stuffing pig blood and glutinous rice into sausage casings. It has been steamed and is still hot. You can eat it directly. You can cut it into pieces and fry it before frying.

That’s fine, Aunt Zhou should give it a try."

Du Xuan handed the thing in her hand out, and Mrs. Zhou took it with a smile, "Hey, you are so polite."

"Aunt Zhou, please don't be polite to me. I owe it to you to record Tian's affairs, and to thank Aunt Zhou for helping me and my uncle's family. I remember them all..." Du Xuan said

, the voice is very gentle and the tone is very sincere.

It simply makes people feel comfortable in their hearts after listening to it.

"You girl, you really remember your kindness..." Mrs. Zhou sighed, "That's right, otherwise, I wouldn't have worked like a cow in that house for the Du family's family affection. Don't worry, there will be more in the future.

Whatever I can do to help, I will do my best."

Du Xuan smiled and said with some embarrassment, "Aunt Zhou, to tell you the truth, there is really something going on."

Zhou raised her eyebrows and said, "Tell me about it."

"It's not me, it's Jin Niang. I have a good relationship with Jin Niang. At my place today, Aunt Zhou must have heard about the commotion caused by the Qian family in the Sun family, right?" Du Xuan said.

Chen Jinniang was a little embarrassed and nervous on the sidelines. After all, the long-standing stereotype was that family scandals should not be exposed to anyone.

Zhou glanced at Chen Jinniang with a half-smile, and after a moment, she said, "What do you want me to help you with?"

"It's not that I hope Aunt Zhou will help me, but if the Sun family really makes things difficult for Jin Niang in the future, it would be fine if Aunt Zhou could say something fair." Du Xuan thought for a moment and took Chen Jinniang's hands, "Look at Jin Niang's hard work these years.

My son earns money to support the whole family, and what a mess they are doing."

Chen Jinniang's hands were deformed because she held the needle and thread in the same position for a long time. Needless to say, there were calluses and cracks on her hands.

Zhou glanced at it and said nothing.

Du Xuan knew what Zhou was thinking, so she immediately said, "I know, you think that there are many women who work and farm, and their hands are not good-looking. Jin Niang, this may not be anything. It's just that

, if Aunt Zhou has time, she can take a look at Sun Da’s wife’s hand and understand why Jin Niang is not worth it.”

"Sigh." Mrs. Zhou sighed. Of course she had seen the Sun family's daughter-in-law. Not only did she look better than Chen Jinniang, she was fatter than Chen Jinniang, and her hands were certainly not as shabby as Chen Jinniang's. "Okay, I understand.

.You..."

Mrs. Zhou shook her head, "You don't live a good life yourself, and you are still worried that others will not live a good life?"

She originally thought that Du Xuan would take the opportunity to show off and pretend to be pitiful.

Unexpectedly, Du Xuan laughed and shook her head at her, "Aunt Zhou, I even killed a pig at home today. My life is not bad, and it will get better and better in the future."

"Okay, I understand, you can go back." Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said.

A somewhat awkward invitation suddenly sounded behind her, "Would you... do you want to come in and have something to eat together?"

Ouch!?
