Chapter 121 Boiled Frog in Warm Water

After sending Rong Haoxuan away, Xu Xinger saw that Taoer was scared by what had just happened. She was a little wither, and she was not interested in continuing to browse.

Xiaomei was also scared just now. Seeing that everyone was fine, she relaxed. Seeing Taoer's timid appearance, she hurriedly said, "After walking for so long, it's almost time to see. The two little ones are probably tired. Why don't we go back."

Xu Xinger turned her head to look at the mountain. Seeing that he was looking at herself with concern, she nodded for a moment and said, "Then go back. I'm really sorry to disappoint everyone today."

"It's not your fault. Besides, the two little ones should eat and play. It's better to go back and rest early." Shanzi comforted, "If you want to watch juggling, you can also have it during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival. Let's come again."

In this way, several people went out of the crowd and went straight back to Xiaomei's house.

Xiaomei's father has come back and is smoking in the yard. He was a little surprised to see several people coming back and ask, "Why did you come back so early?"

"Uncle." Xing'er and Shanzi saw Xiaomei's father for the first time and quickly called someone. Although Taoer's voice was a little low, she still called.

"With two small ones, I didn't play for a long time. Xiao Zhuming still had to go to study, and Tao'er was tired of walking, so we came back." Xiaomei didn't say what happened by the river. Anyway, it's over. There is no need to worry her family.

"Well, I'll cut watermelon for you to eat." Xiaomei's father was very enthusiastic. He took out the watermelon from the well and cut it for several people. He took out a plate of moon cakes from the cupboard and said, "The owner who worked today gave it to me. I think the flowers are different. There should be several kinds of fillings. I have eaten your milk, and this is for you."

Xiaozhu and Taoer ate a lot on the road. At this time, their stomachs were round and they couldn't eat anything. However, Xu Xinger and Xiaomei were a little hungry, and Shanzi also ate a piece.

Xiao Mei's father did not join the fun with the children, but went straight back to his room.

Xiaomei and Xing'er scrubbed the two little ones, entered the room to coax people to sleep and come out. The three people chatted and looked at the moon under the grape rack in the yard. Not long, Xiaomei was also a little sleepy and rubbed her eyes. She got up and yawned, "You still don't sleep? I can't stand it!"

"Go to bed first!" Shanzi blinked his eyes, "I'll sit with Xing'er for a while."

Xiaomei thought that Xing'er didn't want to sleep, but she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She had to say, "For good, you don't worry tomorrow, but don't be too late. You must be tired today. Be careful of the cold. I'll go to bed first."

Seeing Xiaomei entering the house, Shanzi sat opposite Xu Xinger, took out something wrapped in a veil from her arms and put it in Xu Xinger's hand and said, "I gave it to you. Open it and see if you like it?"

Xu Xinger took the thing and pinched it hard and round. She remembered that she had taken her own thing by the river before. It should be this, right?

Open the veil and take a look at it through the moonlight. Inside is a polished water drop-shaped wood, with apricot characters embedded in silver wire, and a ring is made on it, which seems to be used as a pendant.

Shanzi said nervously, "I got the wood from my third uncle. He said what kind of incense wood it was. I didn't know much about it. He said it was a good wood, so I used it."

"Well, I originally wanted to carve an apricot flower on it and embed it with silver silk, but later I asked Mr. Cao, and he said that it was very good that I could make a word at this level. I don't even think about apricot flowers or something."

"Did you do this yourself? I went to Xiaguan City before to ask how to do this? Xu Xinger took it in her hand with some surprise. The wood was polished very smooth, without any burrs or corners. The apricot characters were written very neatly, and then knocked in little by little with silver wire and polished smooth again, and became a small pendant embedded with silver wire.

"Yes, I've been doing it for many days, but it's still not good. I don't have much experience in doing it for the first time. Originally, the pendant should have been a circle larger than this, but it was broken by me. I couldn't polish it again. It's only small." Shanzi said with some embarrassment.

"The pendant is small and cute. What should I do with it so big?" When Xu Xinger saw that there was still a red thread wrapped in the veil, she immediately stringed the pendant on it and tied it around her neck. She looked down for a moment, then squeezed her mouth and stuffed the pendant into her collar with a smile, reached out and patted her chest, smiling and said, "This is much safer and won't lose it."

Shanzi blushed by her. Fortunately, the moonlight was hazy under the grape shelf. They couldn't see each other, and they were not afraid of being seen by Xu Xinger. However, it was just heard that under the grape shelf on the seventh lunar night, the daughter's wish could come true. I don't know if the wishes she made can also be heard by the gods, so that she can be able to What about getting what you want?

Xu Xinger put away the pendant and couldn't help yawning. She looked at Shanzi with a little sleepy eyes and asked, "Aren't you sleepy? Sure enough, a rest in the afternoon is much more energetic than me.

"Go to bed quickly. We can't get up later than our family tomorrow." Shanzi specially left Xing'er to give a gift. At this time, the gift has been sent out. Seeing that Xing'er really likes it, he will naturally not delay her sleeping.

Xu Xinger quietly returned to the room, took off her coat and trousers, climbed gently on the bed, looked at Taoer through the moonlight, touched her forehead, and saw that she was sleeping soundly, so she was relieved and lay down beside her.

Reaching out to hold the pendant between his neck, his fingertips gently stroked the apricot character. The wooden part was smooth, the silver part was cool, and his heart seemed to be slowly wrapped in some wisps of things. He was inadvertently imprisoned and couldn't break it, and he didn't seem to want to break it away.

She turned over, roughly stuffed the pendant back into her collar, and secretly spit on herself in her heart. Xu Xinger, Xu Xinger, she is just a teenager. Anyway, you look at least a dry ten-year-old girl now. Is there something wrong with yourself thinking too much?

After thinking about it, I couldn't come to a conclusion. On the contrary, my heart was sore that I couldn't say what it was like. Xu Xinger bit her lower lip impatiently and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

Somehow, there is always a big pot in my mind, with firewood under it. The pot is full of water, and a frog is unconsciously swimming leisurely in it...

"I'll go!" Xu Xinger shouted in a low voice, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth to see that the people on both sides had not been woken up by her, so she let go of her heart.

However, she thought again that in this feudal and closed era, it may be more difficult to find a partner who can respect and rely on each other, but now Shanzi is around. She has always been getting along well with each other, and the trust between the two is very high. Well, the intimacy has also run in for so long, and he has not concealed his personality in front of him. He still cares about and takes care of himself as always, does that mean...

A good seedling in all aspects is right in front of you. As long as you have been well ** and cultivated in recent years, are you afraid that you won't get an ideal husband in a few years?

As soon as this idea jumped into her mind, Xu Xinger herself was shocked first, but under the great pressure of moral guilt, she thought about it for a long time. Anyway, it was a profit-free and harmless plan.

The more Xu Xinger thought about it, the happier she became. She tossed and turned on the bed. After a long time, she fell asleep in a daze. All night, she slowly cooked the frog with warm water in her dream. However, until the next morning, when she woke up because of the biological clock, she still couldn't dream of the end of the frog. Regretfully squeaked his lips and stretched out to get up.

The air in the morning in the city was not as clean as that in the countryside, but after all, there was still no pollution in ancient times, so it was still clean. Xu Xinger didn't sleep well at night, so she couldn't lift her spirits. She came out the well water and splashed it on her face. The cool well water drove away all the sleepiness, as if it also washed away those wild thoughts. Go out and cheer her up.

In fact, Shanzi didn't sleep well at night. He woke up before dawn. He lay down on the bed with his eyes closed and seemed to sleep. Hearing the sound outside, he thought it was Xiaomei who got up. He opened the window and looked out. Seeing that Xu Xinger was washing outside, he also went out under his clothes and asked in a low voice, "Get up so early. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"I got up at this time at home. I got used to it, and I couldn't sleep even more in another place." Xu Xinger wiped the drops of water on her face. When she looked at the mountain, she suddenly smiled and bounced the drops of water from her hand to his face.

Shanzi was not annoyed. Instead, he bent down and wiped his face with the water that Xu Xinger had just washed her face.

"You man!" Xu Xinger said anly, "I just rinsed my mouth inside, and you just use it!"

Shanzi straightened up slowly, pulled the veil from Xu Xinger's hand, wiped her face and said, "I heard it when you got up. I didn't hear your mouthwash at all. Are you lying?"

"Yes, it's a ghost, just lie to you!" Xu Xinger snorted at him, "If you heard me when I got up, didn't you get up earlier than me? What do you do if you don't sleep well?"

"I've always been like this. I can't sleep after changing places. I have to stay for a few days, so it's easy to wake up with a little noise." Shanzi washed and tweed the handkerchief, handed it to Xu Xinger, poured out the water with a basin, and re-drilled the well water to prepare it for Xiaomei's family.

Xu Xinger saw that the time was almost up, so she simply went to the shelf and set it on fire. When Xiaomei got up, she could cook breakfast directly. Unexpectedly, Xiaomei seemed to be really tired yesterday. Today, she slept very heavily and never meant to get up.

After a while, Xiaomei's father and Xiaozhu also got up and came out to see Xu Xinger cooking breakfast in the stove. They couldn't help but be surprised.

Xiaomei's father quickly said, "Xinger, how can I use you to cook? Put it down quickly, Xiaozhu, why don't you call your sister up?"

Xu Xinger stopped and said, "She was really tired yesterday. Let her sleep more. Although my food is not very delicious, don't dislike it. Let's make do with it!" Originally, living here is to cause you trouble. If you don't even let me do some work, I will be even more at ease.

After cooking porridge for breakfast, he prepared a few plates of pickles, and Xu Xinger spread a few more pancakes. She added a little oil to the pot and stir-fried the sauce. She asked Shanzi to go to the field to pull out some vegetables and wash them and serve them together.

Xiaomei also woke up by herself. Looking at the sky outside, she knew that she was late. She quickly got up and put on her clothes. When she put on her shoes and went to the ground, she found that Xu Xinger was no longer in the room. She pushed the door and went out to have a look. The breakfast was actually ready and placed on the table. She said, "Oh, you Xing'er, why are you so I don't know how to call me, but I finally came to stay at home and let you cook for us!"

"Is it good for you to taste my cooking? At worst, you can come to my house to cook!" Xu Xinger smiled and teased, but made Xiaomei blush.
