The old cow was tied under the tree, with its round eyes staring at the stars in the sky. Tired of looking at it, it lowered its head and ate the grass at its feet.
On the bullock cart, Aunt Qin helped Luo Mu sit down. Luo Mu leaned against the wall of the cart. Her eyes were bloodshot and her eye circles were red and swollen. She had obviously cried.
She kept looking back at the entrance of the alley, but she still couldn't see the little figure. Her nose suddenly felt sour, and she turned her head to bury herself in Aunt Qin's shoulder, twitching.
She blamed herself in her heart. If only she had followed Yue'er all the time, she would not have let the child get lost.
"A Tang, please stop crying. Qin Feng said that Yue'er has been found and they will be back soon." The Qin family's aunt was also comforting her, her face full of guilt and self-blame.
If she hadn't dragged Ah Tang to accompany her to find her husband, she wouldn't have missed the time to meet Yue'er.
"Qin Feng and Xiaojiu are very fast. They will definitely be back with Yue'er in less than half a moment." Aunt Qin patted Luo's mother on the shoulder and comforted her.
As soon as Aunt Qin finished speaking, a clear and familiar voice came into the ears of the two of them.
"Mom! Aunt Qin!" Shen Yue shouted from afar when she saw the two of them.
Hearing this, Luo's mother suddenly raised her head and looked towards the alley with tearful eyes, only to see a tall and elegant young man walking towards this side holding a delicate and delicate girl.
The girl's face was full of anxiety. She was wearing a bright yellow thin shirt and carrying a large backpack on her back. She trotted towards the two of them. Her long hair was fluttering in the wind, and the little bells in her hair followed her steps. Jingle bells jingle.
Seeing her son finally returning safely with Yue'er, Luo's mother finally felt relieved and her tense nerves relaxed.
She stood up in a hurry and almost lost her balance. Fortunately, the Qin family's aunt beside her stretched out her hand to support her.
Luo Mu stabilized her mind, quickly ran to Shen Yue, and took her hand. The tears that she had finally stopped were now flowing down her face.
Luo's mother choked up and said, "Where did you go, kid? My mother searched the whole street and couldn't find you. She thought something had happened to you. You scared my mother to death."
"I'm sorry, mother, for making you worry. The aunt I wanted to buy the shop from was injured. I went to clean her wound and didn't pay attention to the time."
Seeing her mother in such a hurry, Shen Yue felt anxious in her heart.
She hurriedly told Luo Mu what happened so that she could feel relieved.
Seeing this, Luo Qingjiu stepped forward and helped her mother wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. She said softly, "Mom, isn't Ayue back safely? She didn't see you and was looking for you anxiously. Isn't that right?" It’s just wrong.”
"It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe. Mom was so anxious that she even called you over." Luo Mu muttered, blaming herself in her heart.
When Xiaojiu was just right, she called him out too. What if there were any sequelae?
Aunt Qin on the side saw that the mood of several people had almost calmed down, so she came out to smooth things over and said, "Okay, okay, isn't it okay, Yue'er? It's getting late, let's go home first."
"Okay, it's already so late. I'll bother her, Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin." Mother Luo thanked them.
Shen Yue and Luo Qingjiu also followed closely behind and greeted them.
…
Qin Lizheng's driving skills are impressive. Even if he is driving at night, his speed is not much slower than during the day.
The road in the village was difficult to walk at night, so Qin Lizheng specially sent them to his door.
Luo's mother asked the two of them to go inside and drink some water before leaving, but they declined with a smile.
"The dog boy is still at her Aunt Chen's house, and we have to pick him up now." Aunt Qin explained.
In this case, Luo's mother was embarrassed to keep the two of them alone.
I just have to wait to make up for it later...
Qin Li, who left the Luo family, glanced at his wife carefully, but was scolded bloody.
"Didn't you take Yue'er to the government for treatment? How come you can't find anyone? You took her out and you didn't know how to bring her back? Ah? How sad you make Ah Tang!" Aunt Qin's family became angrier as she thought about it. I couldn't stop complaining about him along the way.
And Qin Li was driving the car in a depressed manner. He had a hard time saying...
…
The night was slightly cool, and the gentle evening breeze also brought a slight chill.
Luo Qingjiu and Shen Yue were both wearing thin clothes. When the wind blew, a chilly feeling penetrated into their skins from their clothes.
Shen Yue couldn't help but tremble.
Seeing this, Luo Qingjiu took out a pocket of her gown and pulled Shen Yue into her arms.
Shen Yue was startled, but then she realized what she was doing, her cheeks turned red with shame, and she struggled and said, "Mr., I'm not cold..."
"Well, I'm cold." Luo Qingjiu said confidently.
Shen Yue:......
Mother is still in front, is this really okay for them?
Luo Mu seemed to be aware of it and quickly walked into her room.
It was cold outside, so the two of them didn't stop.
Back in the back room, Luo Qingjiu pulled on a thicker robe and went out.
Shen Yue looked at Luo Qingjiu's back and felt a little strange in her heart, but it was something she couldn't explain.
It seems warm? Swelling?
Shen Yue shook her head and stopped thinking. She put the inkstone she bought for Luo Qingjiu in her backpack on the table.
She also took out all the money at home today. She didn't buy a shop, so she found the money jar and put all of today's income into it.
Excluding the money to buy the inkstone for the boss, she still had one hundred and twenty taels left. She covered the money jar and put it back in its place.
After doing this, the aroma of rice came from the kitchen, making her stomach growl.
Shen Yue followed the scent all the way to the kitchen.
At this moment, the kitchen is full of steaming heat and white smoke is curling up, like a fairyland.
Rice was steaming on the stove. Luo Qingjiu was wearing a blue cotton robe, holding a pot in one hand and a spatula in the other. She seemed to be frying something in a small frying pan, her eyes full of concentration.
His slender fingers with clear joints gently grasped the handle of the pot, and a flame rose up from under the frying pan, reflecting on his face, making him even more handsome and charming.
Shen Yue looked at this picture, and that wonderful feeling lingered in her heart again.
Her eyes stayed on Luo Qingjiu, staring at him stupidly.
Luo Qingjiu felt a burning gaze staring at him, raised her head, and happened to meet Shen Yue's gaze.
Eyes collide, everything is silent...
The sound of crackling firewood became clearer and clearer.
"Uh..." After being caught peeking at the bag, Shen Yue's cheeks felt hot and she quickly looked away.
Luo Qingjiu's lips curved slightly.
His wife's cheeks were red, and her shy look really made him nervous...
"Ahem..." Shen Yue coughed lightly to cover up her inner embarrassment. She changed the subject and said, "Mr. sir, what are you doing? It smells so good."
"I'm afraid the pig's blood hanging in the well will spoil, so I took it out and fried it today." Luo Qingjiu turned off the fire and took out the pig's blood that was fried inside.
"My husband's cooking is so fragrant, I can smell it from afar!" Shen Yue rubbed her belly and her eyes almost lit up when she looked at the small frying pan.
She hadn't eaten anything all day except for one meal in the morning, and she was really hungry now.
After freeing up some time, Luo Qingjiu reached out and touched Shen Yue's little head, "You are hungry, go and ask mother to eat, and I will clean up the dishes."
Shen Yue's head felt itchy when she was touched. She shrank her head, avoided Luo Qingjiu's big palm, and ran out to ask Luo's mother to eat.
Feeling suddenly empty in her hands, Luo Qingjiu looked at Shen Yue's running figure, smiled helplessly, and then shook her head.
I cleared away the dishes and put the food on the table.
