Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

The sun was blazing, and the two of them, facing the setting sun, one teaching the other, were learning. Curious neighbors peered through the cracks in the door. Hehehe ran out the door, saw Wangshu turning back, and walked over to him, whispering, "Shushu, are you tired? Are you hungry?"

Dinner is ready and the dumplings can be put into the pot at any time.

"How is Ji Shou?"

Those three people haven't left yet. Her father is really taking his time!

Hehe nodded repeatedly, "You work very well, pushing the cart quickly and steadily. Hurry and buy it back. I'm watering the vegetable patch now."

"Made him two pairs of shoes and two more sets of old clothes. Once everything is sorted out, I'll take him to the government office in a couple of days. If he's not feeling well, tell me immediately."

Wangshu was indeed hungry, so he slowly dismounted and said, "Feed the people and keep them warm. I'm hungry, so I'll just have dumplings, steamed buns, and pickled vegetables."

She couldn't stand being hungry at all. If she was hungry, she would become pessimistic, disgusted with the world, and filled with self-pity. The consequences would be very serious anyway.

"Oh!" Hehe breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, there was still a whole piece of braised meat, which was prepared in case someone came to buy it and exchange it for money at any time. It could be cut into pieces if needed.

"Would you like to cut the braised meat?" He was reluctant to eat it himself.

She was completely uninterested in the braised meat and asked Qin Xiuyuan, "Do you and Tang Bo still like it?"

Qin Xiuyuan shook his head. He had eaten all kinds of braised meat in Yaocheng and all kinds of dried meat in Xuanwu. He didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, and he had a full meal yesterday. "Dumplings are good."

I didn't say anything polite to her, but just said I wanted to go home for dinner.

Great! Mammy was ecstatic! My son-in-law is sensible. Unlike those troublemakers, he doesn't work but wants to eat well! And he comes to my house empty-handed!

When you add it all up, the family has lost a lot of money!

Then they tried to get on a brown horse. This brown horse was tall and big. Sitting upright on its back, they had a wide field of vision. They could look up and sideways to see the neighbor's yard with a low wall. The parents and four children were gathered together, eating a large plate of wild vegetable steamed buns, one for each of them, and wolfing them down.

Not intending to pry into his neighbor's privacy, Wangshu dismounted and led the horse back, "Go back."

Qin Xiuyuan nodded, dismounted, and handed over a heavy purse, saying, "Take it."

Confused, Wangshu hid beside the horse and took a look. Small gold nuggets!!! Gold! Really gold!! And two silver bills.

His head was full of question marks, but it didn't affect his expression. He was staring at someone with a pouty mouth, "What?" He was holding a lump of gold in his hand, the famous gold!

"Use it, take care of it, whatever you want."

As if he was embarrassed, he took the reins... He was tall and had long legs, so he walked ahead. He took two or three steps to the door and then stopped to wait for her.

…The old lady will be in a good mood when she sees the young handsome guy being shy! Wangshu walked slowly up to the man and, using his shadow, secretly glanced at his purse. There were two hundred-liang notes and some small gold nuggets. Ten liang of silver and one liang of gold. This purse must have emptied most of the handsome man’s family wealth.

If she runs away with the money, this young man will probably have to wait until he is 30 to save enough money to get married, haha!

Qin Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the gold and silver bills. Suddenly, he smiled cunningly and looked up at him with a good mood. His neck and face were a little hot. "Put it away quickly."

Don't show your money.

Wangshu obediently put it away. If you want to tease her, she will be sincere. If you want to express your deep feelings, the middle-aged single old lady will be shocked to death by being pretentious. Her left foot is rubbing against her right foot, her heart is in a mess, and finally she is thinking about whether she can open a storefront...

Give him a horse and earn several horses in return. This deal is really a win-win!

Seeing the two calm young people at the door, Mr. Ji, who was not a good person at home, finally breathed a sigh of relief and tried to soften his voice: "My dear daughter, it's time for dinner."

The last ray of sunlight was about to fade away, and the sky was a pure, deep dark blue. Normally, they would have eaten at this time...

Wangshu waited for his next words. Her father avoided her gaze, hesitating and stammering for a long time. He could only sigh helplessly, feeling very disappointed with his father: "Dad, don't we have any more reliable relatives in our family?"

Something occurred to her, she glanced at Qin Xiuyuan, and then she felt a little guilty. "Fortunately, my eyesight is good. I chose Qin Xiuyuan to save your dignity." This future son-in-law was a good choice. She liked him, and her sleeves were full of a heavy bag!

Ji's father: ...Looking at Qin Xiuyuan who helped him save face, he was speechless. It's not right for him to mock his own father like this.

...Qin Xiuyuan: ...

It was very strange. Who could possibly understand his feelings… the look on his future wife’s face, like the admiring look of a superior looking at a subordinate, or the look of “this brother is really good, I’m quite satisfied”?

Sitting down to eat, bowls of plump, round dumplings in sour soup were served. Mother Ji took a small empty bowl, put a few of them in it and handed it to her daughter, "Shushu, the juice will splash, be careful to burn your mouth."

My daughter has a delicate mouth and cannot eat hot food, unlike them who can wolf it down without worrying about the heat. They are just afraid that if they eat too slowly, the pot will be empty and their stomach will suffer.

"She's only eighteen years old, and her third daughter-in-law still treats her like a three-year-old?"

In front of her fiancé, she wasn't afraid of being laughed at! She felt ashamed for her mother and daughter when she heard this. She had already given birth to a son at the age of eighteen, and now her mother was still coaxing her like a baby who hadn't been weaned. A loving mother often spoils her child.

How annoying! My old mother loves her, so what!

Putting down the chopsticks, he pushed the bowl to Ji's mother, and deliberately acted coquettishly, with a twist at the end, "Mother~~~~, my daughter wants you to feed her~"

As he spoke, he hugged his loving mother's left arm with both hands, tilted his head and leaned it on her shoulder, with a provocative look in his eyes and an innocent expression, waiting to be fed.

Anyway, Qin Xiuyuan's property is in her hands, so she is not afraid that he will regret it and run away. Even if he runs away, the deposit will not be refunded!

Father Ji had a headache. Under the overwhelming rage from his mother, the situation he had just managed to stabilize after an hour of talking was about to collapse. He gave Mother Ji a look: "Don't add fuel to the fire, my wife..."

If he could speak, Father Ji would quickly and humbly beg his wife in a low and lingering voice, one word at a time.

Mother Ji remained calm and picked up the small bowl, as if treating the three-year-old Shushu, "Okay, okay, today, my daughter has been hoeing the fields and planting vegetables, and learning to ride a horse. She must be tired..."

One feeds gently, and the other opens its mouth obediently.

"Pah!" Madam Ji threw down her chopsticks, and Ji's father also stopped eating. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. She was the most senior elder, and if she didn't start eating, no one else could. When she stopped eating after finishing her meal, everyone had to be quick to stop eating too. When encountering a shrewd old man, the main thing was to eat with him, regardless of whether he was full or not, and to endure the humiliation.

Everyone quietly put down their bowls and chopsticks, waiting for the storm.

At this moment, Wangshu took the initiative to move forward and eat the dumplings that were stopped halfway. He watched the old man chew slowly. The more angry he was, the more he chewed. He swallowed it calmly and said: "Our family is not well-off, so don't waste food. If you waste it, I won't blame you today, because there are dogs waiting to eat it. I won't leave any food for you next time."

After saying that, he pinched the soft persimmon that had surrendered his family and joined the pirate ship, "Qin Xiuyuan, eat quickly, the dumplings will not taste good if they are soaked for too long."

By the way, she pinched two persimmons that were neither soft nor hard, and said, "This is the way my daughter came up with it. Daddy and Mommy, you don't think it tastes good. I feel sad..."

Father Ji was annoyed. His daughter had been cooking and working in the fields these past few days. There were only a handful of such well-behaved, sensible, and ambitious girls in Yaocheng. Who could have the heart to blame her? He almost wanted to give her the few copper coins he had stuffed under the door crack as a reward!

Qin Xiuyuan: ...The dumplings are delicious. Her implication is quite obvious. If you dare to throw her kindness to the dog today, she will open the door and let the dog out next time and won't let you in...

Unable to resist her daughter's coquettish behavior, Ji's mother surrendered without a second thought when she mentioned her body.

All three persimmons softened at the same time, willingly, from the bottom of their hearts.

The way of eating it was indeed novel. The sour soup was appetizing and refreshing, the chicken and leek stuffing with green leeks was paired with golden tender scrambled eggs. The aroma of eggs and leeks mixed together. The three of them ordered a second bowl in unison. Unlike the boy, Ji's mother ordered half a bowl.

During the meal, three people sat there without moving their chopsticks, while four people drank soup and ate dumplings. Occasionally, someone who didn't know any better would make a "slurp" sound and say, "Delicious! Really delicious!"

But she couldn't hide the sudden empty stomach. After a "snoring", Ji Wangyue suddenly covered her stomach, her little face flushed red, and she was ashamed and angry.

Father Ji held the bowl and tried to persuade her again, "Don't be hard on your stomach. Every meal should be appreciated as it is not easy to come by... Eat it while it's hot. Mother, my elder brother is so good in your eyes, and so is Wangshu in my and my eyes. Please eat!"

Ji's father stepped forward and took the old lady's bowl and handed it to her, saying sincerely, "Mother, Wangyue is still young and can't go hungry! Big brother, you should eat too..."

Brother Ji and Ji Wangyue, who were growling with hunger and swallowing their saliva silently at the aroma of leeks, eggs and sour soup, cast their gazes silently at Old Madam Ji, as if to say, "If you don't eat, you'll have to go back to the inn and eat steamed buns with pickles."

… "Alas! I am useless because I am old and cannot die!"

Madam Ji's expression changed. She sighed slowly, gritted her teeth as she smashed the bowl with her hand, and finally took the bowl that her son had been holding. "Forget it, forget it. My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I should just wait for death..."

What bad luck! This person is so undead. His original body died without a single word, but this person is old and still alive. He keeps talking about death. I am speechless!

Wangshu put down his bowl and chopsticks, extended his index finger, and immediately covered his ears, shaking his head: I don’t want to hear that bastard chanting! I don’t want to hear that bastard chanting!

Qin Xiuyuan: ...She's really something! He lowered his head and coughed a few times...

Ji's parents: ... a little cute, a little funny, and a little scary. What should I do...

Brother Ji and Ji Wangyue, father and daughter: ...Hungry! Hungry! Hungry!

Old Madam Ji just thought she was blind.

Occasionally, a burp would still smell the fragrant aroma of leeks and eggs. Wangcai was finally let in. He circled around the three previous owners and the current owner, wagging his head and begging with his tail, sniffing with his nose, staring straight up with his head raised. His tail accidentally hit the leg of a chair, making it bounce, and his tongue stuck out and twitched.
