Nanshanxia

The next day, Lao Zhu's house was open as usual. Lu Zhaofu, who was unable to work normally due to family affairs yesterday, also came back. He entered the house, washed his hands and started to prepare for work.

Yuan Xiao, who was facing several large plates of fried bean curd rolls over there, was worried. When he saw Lu Zhaofu, he hurriedly greeted Lu Zhaofu and said, "Zhaofu, cousin Chunya has already cleaned up the house early this morning. Now, don't worry, my Ayan researched a new food yesterday, it's delicious, come over and have a taste."

Lu Zhaofu, who had always had an inexplicable obsession with food, immediately put down the rag in his hand when he heard that there was something delicious, and happily walked to Yuan Xiao's table. He looked at the steaming fresh food on the table. , said with bright eyes: "Is this new?"

"Well, I just made it. My grandma saw that I like it, so she asked my aunt to make a lot for me. I remembered that you were not here yesterday, so I wanted you to try something new." Yuan Xiao motioned Lu Zhaofu to sit down. , and said softly to Lu Zhaofu: "Grandma was nagging you yesterday, she said you didn't eat such delicious food, now that you are here, eat it quickly!"

Lu Zhaofu had been with Lao Zhu's family for a long time, so he didn't see him anymore. Seeing that he didn't have much work, he sat across from Yuan Xiao with a smile, and ate oil with Yuan Xiao Bean curd roll meat.

"Wow, what's Yuan Xiao's name, why is it so delicious!" Lu Zhaofu ate his cheeks like a little hamster.

Yuan Xiao pursed his lips and smiled, and immediately answered: "This is called fried bean curd meat, you eat it slowly, my grandma made a lot for me, so you can eat as much as you want."

"Yeah, Yuan Xiao, you don't know how much I envy you now. You have a husband who loves you like Ah Yan, and you have such a big family and kind relatives. I am envious after seeing this." Lu Zhaofu's eyes With envious eyes, he immediately added: "And you can have babies in the future, I really envy you!"

The more Yuan Xiao listened, the more he felt that something was wrong with Lu Zhaofu's words. He wanted to ask Lu Zhaofu why he envied himself for having a baby. As far as he knew, wasn't Lu Zhaofu also a brother who could have a baby?Just when Yuan Xiao organized his words and was about to speak, Qi Lianhai entered the room with a disheveled face.

"Lian Hai?" Facing the sudden appearance of Qi Lianhai, Lu Zhaofu was stunned for a moment, then quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with his hand, walked forward quickly, looked Qi Lianhai up and down, concerned Asked: "What are you doing here, why is your face covered with dust?"

After Lu Zhaofu finished speaking, Zhu Yan also came out of the kitchen. After calling Qi Lianhai to sit down, he asked curiously, "Lian Hai, what are you doing here? Why are you so gray all over?"

After sitting down, Qi Lianhai took a quick sip of the hot tea poured by Zhu Yan, and explained to Lu Zhaofu and Zhu Yan just now: "We received a report from the villagers of Yuanjia Village early in the morning, saying that the village was on fire. Immediately followed, investigated for a long time, came back without any clue."

"What? The Yuan Family Village is on fire?" Zhu Yan glanced at Qi Lianhai in surprise, and then looked at Yuan Xiao belatedly. Seeing that Yuan Xiao's face was also somewhat curious, he continued to ask: " Which house is on fire?"

Qi Lianhai drank a large cup of hot tea, his cold body gradually warmed up, and his complexion improved a lot. He wiped his mouth and then explained: "It's Yuan Laoshuan from Yuanjia Village, and his wife's name is Zhou Caifeng. When we arrived at the scene, there was a Crying and shouting while holding the ashes of grain."

Zhu Yan was not familiar with the name Yuan Laoshuan, but he remembered the three words Zhou Caifeng very solidly. He turned his head to look at Yuan Xiao with a cold face, and couldn't help but asked again: "How is this old Yuan's family?" Will it suddenly catch fire?"

"We don't know the specific reason, we only know that the fire was not an accident." Seeing that no one spoke, Qi Lianhai continued to explain: "The place where the fire broke out in Lao Yuan's house was the grain storage warehouse behind the old Yuan's house. When we inspected the scene in the morning, we found a fire pocket at the corner, and we guessed that someone set the fire on purpose."

After hearing this, Zhu Yan became silent. His family also has a granary for storing grain and food. Every night, his grandma would go around the storage room several times before she could go into the house and sleep with peace of mind. The only reason was to isolate the fire. However, the old Yuan's family actually found a fire pocket beside the storage room. It is conceivable that there must be an unknown story in it.

If this matter were changed before, Zhu Yan would definitely think it was Yuan Xiao's fault, but this time Zhu Yan did not doubt Yuan Xiao, because Yuan Xiao followed him in the room touching his belly last night, how could he go out to give it to him when he had time? Lao Yuan's house set fire?

But who did it if it wasn't Yuan Xiao?The more Zhu Yan thought about it, the more confused he became.

At the same time, Yuan Xiao, who had been silent for a long time, said, "How about the fire?"

"Old Yuan's family's granary was full of grain, and it was completely burned by a fire. Not even the dregs were left for them. Not only that, because the fire was too strong, even the old Yuan's house was affected. Fortunately, the old Yuan's family Later, I found out that the fire was put out with water in time, but the house was also burned to the ground." Long ago, Qi Lianhai heard Lu Zhaofu tell himself about Yuan Xiao's life experience, so when Yuan Xiao asked, he also said it very well. In detail, "Old Yuan's family can only rely on the charity of the villagers to fill their stomachs."

"Ouch! This old Yuan's family has suffered retribution! I really should thank the person who set the fire." The old lady Zhu had almost heard the story from the side, and just now she was holding the hot oily bean curd meat and steaming The Douhua came over, and said to Qi Lianhai: "Lianhai, don't be dazed, eat quickly, this fried bean curd meat is our new dish, try it quickly, there is still in the pot after eating. "

Qi Lianhai nodded to the old lady Zhu, sniffed the delicious food on the table, took a bite uncontrollably, and then continued to take a second bite. When he finished all the food, he raised his head to remind Zhu Yan and the rest of Lao Zhu's family said, "Ah Yan, I believe that you are not involved in this case, but don't mention the matter between our family and Lao Yuan's family to others, so as not to alarm the government, and then investigate you. Anything less is better."

Zhu Yan was very moved by Qi Lianhai's unconditional belief. He got up and poured a cup of tea for Qi Lianhai, then nodded and said, "Lianhai, don't worry, we only talked to you about this."

"Success, then I'm relieved." Qi Lianhai filled his stomach and drank the cup of tea before returning to the county government with his knife to continue investigating the case.

After Qi Lianhai left, everyone started to go about their business again. At this time, when everyone was away, Yuan Xiao sneaked into the kitchen, hugged Zhu Yan from behind, and whispered with his cheek against Zhu Yan's back: " Ah Yan, who do you think could have done this?"

"Well, it's hard to say, but I'm sure you didn't do it." Zhu Yan wiped his hands with a dry cloth, then turned around and hugged Yuan Xiao from the front.

Yuan Xiao continued to put his arms around Zhu Yan's waist, raised his head and squinted at Zhu Yan with a smile, "Of course I won't do it, if I can't control the arson and murder, it will affect other families, it's not revenge but I am committing crimes, besides, if I wanted to do it, I would have done it a few years ago, so I have to wait until now."

After listening to Yuan Xiao's explanation, Zhu Yan smiled gratifiedly. He hugged Yuan Xiao tightly and said proudly: "My husband is indeed the best."

"Hey, then kiss." Yuan Xiao also frowned with a smile, he raised his head and pouted his mouth waiting for Zhu Yan's kiss.

Zhu Yan didn't disappoint Yuan Xiao either, he kissed Yuan Xiao's mouth. If he hadn't heard the voices of his aunt Bai Zhen and the old lady Zhu, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao would have kissed forever.

"This old Yuan's family is in such a miserable state now, I'm afraid they will come to trouble our Yuan Xiao." Bai Zhen whispered behind the old lady Zhu, "Our Yuan Xiao's belly is getting bigger and bigger now, we want to let those If you are so heartless and angry, we must not regret it to death."

The old lady Zhu stopped when she was about to enter the kitchen, she turned her head coldly, and snorted with all kinds of disdain on her face, "If they dare to come, I will dare to serve them with a big knife!"

This conversation terrified Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao in the kitchen. They hugged each other tightly and prayed in their hearts that the group of old Yuan's family should not come and cause trouble, otherwise the consequences would be serious .

But it just didn't talk about many things. A few days later, Zhou Caifeng of the old Yuan's family led Yuan Laoshuan to the door of Lao Zhu's house.

The old lady Zhu also did what she said before, she directly held a kitchen knife and blocked Zhou Caifeng and Han Laoshuan who wanted to go in at the door of her bean food shop.

Now that the sun is setting, the diners of Old Zhu's Bean Food Shop have almost left. The old lady Zhu doesn't need to maintain her image at all. Said: "What are you two doing at my house? Didn't I tell Zhou Mei'e to tell you that you are not allowed to come to my house?"

"This... in-laws, how can we all be in-laws?" Yuan Laoshuan looked up at the magnificent shop in front of him, and couldn't help smiling a little more sincerely. Before the old lady had time to speak, he described again He added: "This Yuan Xiao is a child of my family, and now he is also your husband. We should have a good talk, how much does it hurt our feelings with a knife?"

"Hey! Don't force me to kill you. I don't know how you treated Yuan Xiao before. You still dare to talk to me. I must kill you today. I'm just an old lady anyway. I know how many years I can live, even if I kill you two and go to prison, I won't suffer!" After the old lady Zhu finished speaking, she walked towards Yuan Laoshuan and his wife in front of her.

When Yuan Laoshuan and Zhou Caifeng saw that the old lady was coming for real, they took a few steps back in fright, and then Zhou Caifeng cried from the side, "Yuan Xiao, come out, my mother made a mistake, my mother will apologize to you, you Come out, our family has no food and no money, we can only rely on you."

"You still dare to call my family Yuan Xiao, I think you are looking for a cut!" The old lady Zhu gritted her teeth at the anger of these two shameless people, and just when she was about to go up to clean up Zhou Caifeng, she heard Yuan Xiao's voice in the room. sound.

"Grandma, don't get so angry, leave this matter to me." Yuan Xiao and Zhu Yan appeared at the right time, and then said to the old lady Zhu at the door: "Grandma, I think I have something to say clearly." Some would be better, you just let me talk it out with them!"
