The little ancestor of the family

"Dad is just too timid!"

Ye Xinyao continued to lean on Zou's arms, "Dad only cares about the gold and silver in his hands, but he doesn't understand the truth that wealth and honor can only be achieved through risk."

After saying that, she stood up and looked at Zou: "When I marry into the Qiao family, I will definitely ask the county magistrate for our family's protection, so that my parents can rest assured from now on.

I heard that Brother Ziyu is highly appreciated by Dean Wei. I will find an opportunity to discuss with Brother Ziyu and ask him to say a few good words for his brother in front of Dean Wei.

"Good boy, Yaoyao is such a good boy!"

Zou's eyes turned red with emotion.

Xiao Huaian and Ye Xinran brought the children back home. Looking at the mess in the yard, Xiao Huaian couldn't help but frown.

"Did someone come to bully you?"

"Yeah!" Chang'an nodded vigorously.

"It's my aunt's parents who came to bully me!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huaian immediately looked at Ye Xinran: "Are you injured?"

Ye Xinran shook her head: "It's okay!"

Chang Ping said, "Uncle, we set a trap in the yard and chased them all away!"

Chang An also echoed, "Second brother's trap is really powerful. He poured a bucket of water on one person, and slapped that person with a stick. They were beaten to the ground!"

Chang'an described it vividly, and Ye Xinran started laughing again as she watched.

Changsheng looked at Xiao Huaian's face and said, "Don't be angry, Second Uncle. We did all this in the yard just to protect Aunt."

"I understand." Xiao Huaian didn't look angry. He just said to the children, "Clean up the yard and try to restore it to its original state."

"Got it, uncle. Let's go change our clothes and do it right away!"

Several children went to work. Ye Xinran looked at the three rabbits in the basket that Xiao Huaian brought back and asked, "Why did you come back so early this time? Didn't everything go well?"

Xiao Huaian shook his head.

He opened another backpack and asked Ye Xinran to come over and take a look. Ye Xinran was shocked to find that it was actually filled with a basket of Ice Spirit Flowers.

"This... so many!" Ye Xinran was stunned.

"I saw it in a canyon yesterday. I remember you said you wanted to use it, so I dug it up with the roots."

Xiao Huaian had a hint of pride on his face.

Only then did Ye Xinran notice that the ice spirit flowers in the basket were indeed still attached to their roots and soil.

"That's great. We can plant all these flowers on the mountain."

"Did you buy that Dongshan just to grow this kind of flower?" Xiao Huaian asked.

"Yes, but this is just one of them!" Ye Xinran explained to him: "This flower may look inconspicuous, but it is a very important medicinal material. I want to use it to make a medicine to treat the scars on my face."

It turned out to be the case.

Xiao Huaian looked at the scar on Ye Xinran's face.

It was a little shocking when he saw it for the first time, but after so much time had passed, he had gotten used to it. If Ye Xinran hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have thought it was a big deal.

Maybe it's because she doesn't care.

She is so open and honest that people around her ignore her little flaw.

Xiao Huaian didn't ask how Ye Xinran knew medicine, but Chang'an said anxiously: "Second uncle, do you know that my aunt is very powerful? Master Wei invited my aunt to his house to treat his wife!"

"Oh? Is everything going well?"

Xiao Huaian looked at Ye Xinran.

Ye Xinran shrugged. "It's okay. It's not a serious problem. I'll be fine after taking some medicine for a while."

"That's good!" Xiao Huaian nodded.

Ye Xinran noticed that Xiao Huaian's eyes were always on her, so she was a little embarrassed and made small talk: "So, will you stay at home for a few days this time?"

"If there's nothing else, I'll stay for one day and then leave." Xiao Huaian retracted his gaze.

Ye Xinran: "It's nothing serious. I just want to take a few kids to the county town for a stroll. They said they haven't been to the city for so long."

"Yes, Uncle, let's go shopping together!"

Changan begged in a low voice.

Although Changping and Changsheng didn't say anything, they looked at him with expectant eyes.

Xiao Huaian had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's go shopping in the city together."

"Oh! That's great!"

The three children were spinning in circles happily. They felt that today was the happiest day.

Their aunt made new clothes for them, and even their second uncle, who always had a cold face, agreed to take them to the market. They had never dared to imagine such a life before.

Several children ran into the yard, and Xiao Huaian took out two silver notes from his pocket:

"Here is 200 taels of silver. Didn't you use the money to buy the mountain last time? Keep this money and use it as household expenses!"

Ye Xinran was startled.

Is Xiao Huaian so rich?

Last time, he said that the silver was obtained from selling prey, but this time, no prey was sold.

Could he be a hidden rich man who brought his children to the countryside to experience life?

Ye Xinran quickly shook her head to drive the unrealistic thoughts out of her mind.

Thinking of the reason why Xiao Huaian was exiled, she suddenly thought of another possibility: Could it be that he had stolen this?

Xiao Huaian looked at Ye Xinran's expression which changed several times.

He took the initiative to explain: "It was not stolen, nor was it robbed. You can think of it as something I saved before the accident."

"That's good, that's good!"

Ye Xinran smiled with relief.

Who doesn't love money? With this money, she can buy some more things for her home.

All the bedding should be replaced with new ones, and two sets of summer clothes should be prepared. You can also add some things to the kitchen.

After thinking for a while, Ye Xinran looked at the hole in the wall outside and decided to save the money first.

Let’s find a way to build a house first.

The house now looks like it will collapse at any time.

This time the rabbits were not sold. After Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian confirmed it, they kept the three rabbits for themselves to eat.

For the children, it is a rare opportunity to eat their uncle’s prey.

They all had an illusion that after their aunt got married, their second uncle had become gentler than before.

None of the three rabbits are big.

Xiao Huaian peeled the rabbit skin, washed off the blood, and then looked at Ye Xinran: "What should I do with this rabbit? Do you know how to do it?"

If Ye Xinran didn't know how to cook, he could only roast a few rabbits.

But Ye Xinran has his own ideas.

We must not allow a kitchen killer like him to ruin the food.

Rabbit meat is good stuff.

The meat from the rabbit legs and breast can be used to make spicy rabbit cubes, and the remaining meat and bones can be used to stew soup, which is just right.

Thinking of this, she instructed Xiao Huaian to chop the rabbit into small pieces, then wash it with clean water to rinse out the blood in the meat.

Changping had already lit a fire. She washed the rice first and put it in the pot.

Then boil water in the small pot inside and pour all the meat with bones into the pot.

After the water boils, skim off the foam on the soup, add the chopped ginger, yam, coix seed rice and cooking wine, then cover the pot and stew the soup directly.
