I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

When Ah Huang passed by here just now, he smelled the aroma of meat.

He just handed the braised beef to the old lady, and she said she didn't want to eat it anymore and had no appetite.

He was even angry, complaining that Ah Huang came back too late.

Ah Huang was driving the carriage so hard that the wheels almost flew off, but when he arrived he had to queue up.

I came back late, and when I entered the yard, I was so anxious that I fell and my knee was bleeding.

"Ah, thank you, thank you girl..."

Ah Huang stared at the food in the bowl in surprise: the old lady always eats exquisitely, and this kind of food is only eaten by their servants.

But he didn't say it out loud. If the old lady didn't eat it, it would definitely be eaten by their servants.

He swallowed hard.

The old lady doesn't eat meat, and the servants haven't eaten meat for a long time.

"Uncle Huang, your leg is broken. My wife Huang brought some herbs. If you don't mind, go there and apply some medicine."

Ji Xiaobei said.

"That Miss Ji, no need, it's okay. I'm resting in the innermost courtyard of the North Lane. If you need anything, just call me!"

Ah Huang smiled, and the wrinkles on his face faded a little.

There are so many houses in Mingyi Lane, and it is usually deserted. Today, it is finally crowded with people, and his mood suddenly improved.

Ji Xiaobei walked forward carrying the things.

"Madam Zhang, Madam Zhang..." Ji Xiaobei called at the door.

Nanny Zhang came out from the side room, saw Ji Xiaobei, and asked hurriedly what was the matter.

"Madam Zhang, I'd like to send some of our stewed lamb chops and pancakes to your house. We are from the countryside, and our food is crude, so please don't despise it."

A flash of embarrassment and disbelief passed across Aunt Zhang's eyes, but she still took the bowl with a smile on her face.

Although it's a bit rough, it smells good!

"Thank you, aunt!"

Ji Xiaobei put down the axe and basket and hurried back to eat.

Nanny Zhang was staring at a bowl of food, hesitating about what to do with it, when Old Madam Fu stood beside her.

"Madam Zhang, this must have been brought by the girl next door. I've been smelling the fragrance for an hour. I want to eat this!"

Old Mrs. Fu reached out to take the bowl like a little child.

"Old lady, you can't eat mutton, cough..."

Old Mrs. Fu had already picked up the tortilla and stuffed it into her mouth.

"This is delicious, delicious! The cornmeal we use is too fine, it doesn't taste good..."

Nanny Zhang had no choice but to take food away from the old lady.

Mrs. Fu ate two lamb chops, some winter melon and beans, and said contentedly while rubbing her stomach, "I haven't had a full meal in a long time."

Aunt Zhang was shocked: I prepare your meals every day according to the instructions of the palace doctor.

How can you say that you have never had enough to eat? If you say this when the master comes back, will we servants be able to survive?

However, Nanny Zhang didn't dare to say this out loud.

Since the beginning of this year, Mrs. Fu's memory has been really bad and she is not in good spirits. Once, when she was taking a walk in the West Alley and the North Alley, she couldn't find the yard where she lived.

Alas! I am old after all!

Nanny Zhang was her married maid and knew the old lady best.

After the meal, Nanny Zhang didn't let the old lady sleep. She walked with her around the house for a quarter of an hour. The sleepy old lady was swaying all the time.

After Ji Xiaobei returned, everyone started eating with great enthusiasm.

The first meal in Anzhou, celebrating the move.

Ji Xiaobei took out a jar of fruit wine from the space. This was a new addition by Zheng Guo a few days ago. He said that he and Zhang Hong bought it on the roadside when they were out on a case. The farmers brewed it themselves.

Ji Xiaobei opened the jar of wine, and a rich aroma of fruit wine wafted out.

The boy's hair hasn't even grown out yet, and his family doesn't allow him to drink liquor.

When he heard it was fruit wine, he jumped up with joy.

They all carried coarse porcelain bowls over to pour the water.

Each person took half a bowl and gulped it down, which was considered as completing their coming-of-age ceremony.

"Tieliang, give me the rest of your drink. You are young and should not drink too much. Have you forgotten the last time your father beat you when you wanted to drink soju?"

Chazi came over with a red face and looked greedily at the little fruit wine left in Tieliang's bowl.

"I, I won't give it to you. Sister Xiaobei said that this is not liquor. Drinking it will help you sleep well at night..."

Chazi coaxed him for a long time, but Tieliang was so angry that he drank the whole thing in one gulp while holding the coarse porcelain bowl.

After drinking it, he lay on the ground and fell asleep...

After eating, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Lin went back to their room to sleep. After so many days, the two old women were extremely tired. After lying down, their snoring was deafening.

The boys were the most energetic and played for half the night before going to bed.

Ji Xiaobei woke up, turned over and fell asleep.

She was also puzzled. She had always heard that pregnancy lasted for ten months, and the last few months were extremely difficult. She couldn't sleep well, couldn't eat well, and felt uncomfortable all over.

But for some reason, she didn't feel anything, just that her body felt a lot heavier.

Could it be that the bodies in ancient times were very durable?

He closed his eyes, took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator, and gulped down half of it.

The dishes that Mrs. Lin cooked in the evening were too salty, and the people kept wanting to drink water.

After drinking water, I want to go to the toilet.

Ji Xiaobei didn't want to move. He didn't want to move. He endured it for a long time, but he really couldn't fall asleep.

Then he got up cursing, put on his clothes, pushed the door open and walked out.

It was an early autumn night with a bright moon and sparse stars, and a cool breeze was blowing. She wrapped herself tightly in her clothes.

As soon as I squatted in the toilet, I heard the sound of horse hooves and voices in the alley outside.

"Sir, the old lady has gone to bed. She has been waiting for you these days!"

"Don't disturb the old man, I will go over to pay my respects tomorrow morning.

Uncle Huang, whose carriage is this, and why is it parked in our alley?"

"Sir, the old housekeeper has rented out this house, and these two donkey carts belong to the tenant."

"Oh?" The man frowned unhappily.

"Sir, the old housekeeper went to the capital to live with his son. The old lady said that this house was left to him by the old master, and he could deal with it as he pleased, either renting it out or selling it. However, this was the ancestral property of the Fu family, so he couldn't sell it. So he rented it out. The old lady said that with some rent, the old couple would have more money in their pockets in the capital, and his son wasn't an official in the capital..."

Ji Xiaobei listened carefully and the sound went west along the alley.

Is this the master of Aunt Zhang's house next door who has returned?

Her voice was a little hoarse, and I couldn't tell her exact age. I also didn't know if her master was easy to get along with.

From the tone of his voice just now, it seemed that he was not very happy about the house being rented out.

Humph! I've already given all my money to Fang Ya, and you still want to kick me out?

I have the paperwork.

Ji Xiaobei got up, packed up, and went back to his room, but he couldn't fall asleep.

There were a lot of things to do these days, and after settling down, Shitou and the others decided to go back.

On the way back, Ji Xiaobei was very worried. The children had little experience and if they encountered any danger, they would be doomed.

But if she didn't go back, she would be worried about her family. Xiaohua and Xiaoju were at home, and she didn't know if the people in the old house had caused trouble for them.
