Although the summer solstice has passed, the days are still long and the nights are short.
At three o'clock in the garrison, the sky was not completely dark yet.
Linshan Village, Lin Xu’s home.
Everyone was sitting around eating together, enjoying themselves.
This afternoon, the old blacksmith brought his distant cousin Xiaoqing over to show Lin Xu.
She is already sixteen years old, but because she has lived in poverty since she was a child, she has not had enough food, let alone nutrition, so she looks very thin, as if she could be blown over by a gust of wind, and her complexion is not very good.
, it is the kind of black and yellow color that results from years of working in the fields.
However, it can be seen from her facial features that she has a good foundation, and between her eyebrows, she seems to have some similarities with Ruolan.
If you take good care of yourself and your body grows a little longer, there is a high probability that you will become a woman and become a little beauty.
In addition, Xiao Qing is very shy and doesn't talk much. After saying hello to Lin Xu, her face turned red and her eyes avoided looking at him.
Since she was introduced by her old father-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she was also his sister-in-law, Lin Xu naturally didn't hesitate and immediately kept her.
What my old father-in-law said before was absolutely correct. Xiaoqing is indeed a very hard-working girl and is very efficient at work. Since she came here, she has basically never been idle, and her eyes are full of work!
Lin Xu and Ruolan both persuaded her to take a good rest, but they couldn't persuade her at all, so they had to let her go.
In order to celebrate Xiaoqing's joining the big family, and also to celebrate the successful annihilation of the bandits in Xiaoyang Mountain, Lin Xu specially arranged a feast tonight and called all the core staff over, even those in Xiaoyang Mountain.
Sun Chong, who was leading the troops stationed in the mountain, also asked him to find someone to change his shift and come over for dinner.
A total of ten dishes and one soup were made tonight, six of which were meat dishes, and the soup was also hen soup simmered over low heat. In addition, Lin Xu also specially prepared a jar of wine!
This meal, let alone in a small mountain village, even in Jiangling County, can be regarded as a very high standard!
The dinner had started for a while, and Lin Xu keenly discovered that everyone else was in high spirits and drinking happily, but Xiaoqing sat there silently, not saying a word, holding the rice bowl, and not daring to pick up any dishes.
Fortunately, Ruolan sat next to her, taking care of her, and kept picking up food for her. Otherwise, she might just eat this bowl of rice tonight.
This little girl is a little too reserved!
Lin Xu thought for a while, if he wanted to alleviate the little girl's restraint, as the male host, he had to express his feelings.
So, he took the initiative to serve a large bowl of chicken soup, and specially selected two pieces of chicken legs, placed them in front of Xiaoqing, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, from now on, you and these people here will be a family! We are
The family doesn’t speak two different languages, just relax and treat this place as your own home.”
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Xiaoqing, don't be polite!"
"Xiaoqing, I will come here more often to eat. Don't think I eat too much!"
"Xiao Qing, this is wild boar meat hunted from the mountains and braised using the method taught by my husband. How do you like it?"
"Try this hare meat again, it tastes good too!"
"And this fish, I just caught it from the river this afternoon. It's very fresh!"
"Xiaoqing, you are too thin, you need to eat more..."
Under the leadership of Lin Xu, everyone picked up vegetables for Xiaoqing!
Xiaoqing was originally the second eldest child in the family, with an older brother and younger brother. She had the least sense of presence in the family. She only did one thing every day, which was to work. How had she ever received such care?
Just now, when Lin Xu was serving soup, she had no idea that Lin Xu was serving soup for herself!
When Lin Xu put the chicken soup in front of her, she was immediately stunned!
Immediately, other people brought her food one after another, and said so many words of concern for her...
A person who has been in the dark for a long time will be overwhelmed by the sudden appearance of a bright light.
"Wow!"
After Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, she suddenly lay on the table and burst into tears!
"Xiaoqing, stop crying..."
"What's wrong, Xiaoqing?" This chapter has been completed!
