Crossing the green wheat ears

The Spring Festival of this year was the most ruthless in the Xi family. Xi Yuan and the old lady did not come back in Yansui, and Xi Wei stayed there with his eldest brother. Although he really wanted to go, but the family took care of him. The sister-in-law's task was entrusted to her. She was so small that she had to shoulder the responsibility.

She didn't know why, and always felt that the atmosphere at home was weird, but the adults refused to tell her anything, although she was suspicious, she still had the patience to stay with her sister-in-law.She respects and loves her elder brother, and although she feels that her sister-in-law is not so likable, she loves Wu and Wu, and tries her best to get along with Reiko as well.

Others in the village didn't know about it, but the few families that had a good relationship with the Xi family still felt that the Xi family was unusual this year.Once I entered the courtyard of Xijia, even in those years when Xijia was still poor, I could feel the warmth and happiness. Although the family was busy, the happiness overflowed with every movement, making everyone who saw I am very envious, influenced by the Xi family, and full of beautiful longing for life.

However, when entering the courtyard of the West Family, although everything remains the same, it is indescribably cold and desolate.

Although they were surprised by Wei Cheng's sudden joining of the army and the changes with the Xi family, they didn't ask too much. They were already troubled enough, and they couldn't leave any pot unopened.

Both of Cheng Nanzhu and his son passed the examination as a scholar, and the family members were very happy, but since Wei Cheng left, the two children were unspeakably sad. They had a good relationship with Wei Cheng, and they left so suddenly. People, still unable to calm down from it, often heard the sound of horseshoes, and ran out to have a look, always feeling that Wei Changshan, who was in high spirits, would smile and wink at them on the horse.

They are all like this, what will happen to the Xijia brothers?

Xiyuan has recovered from his illness, and his parents' second uncle and Xiyang will take care of the family affairs. He just thinks of something, and he can just give instructions.

On New Year's Eve, after eating dumplings, grandma was too old to stay up all night, so Xiyuan arranged for the old man to rest early.He sat in front of the table by himself, and there were three clay figurines on the table, he, Wei Cheng and Xi Wei.On his birthday, Wei Cheng bought it for his brother with the pocket money he had saved.

Originally, Wei Cheng was the only clay figurine. He gave his little clay figurine to his elder brother for his birthday. Only he could do it. Wei Cheng gestured for a long time before Wei Cheng reluctantly took out his brother's clay figurines. He pinched two of them, and the one in Xiyuan wanted to keep it for himself.

Later, Xi Wei protested, so he asked someone else to make a clay figurine to make up Xi Wei.

Seeing his brother playing with clay figurines, Xi Wei didn't bother him. After his brother recovered from his illness, he changed a lot. There were fewer things that made people feel at ease and warm, and more sternness and silence.And I often fall into deep thought, not knowing whether to recall the past or to plan the future.

Goudan reads medical books in his own room. The fifth brother said that his eldest brother often does not sleep well. Goudan tries hard to find relevant books and prescriptions. Now he often goes to Xiji Pharmacy to sit in the classroom. There are people in that family who are in trouble. Although Goudan is too small , how to see a doctor is doubtful, but there is no way, it is better to have a doctor than to have no doctor, so I often ask dog eggs for diagnosis and treatment.Goudan's medical skills have also advanced by leaps and bounds in the process.

Li Yuan sat next to the Seventh Young Master, and chewed the leftover dog eggs on the table. He had an extraordinary attachment to food, just like dog eggs to medical skills.

The festive atmosphere in the city is stronger than that in the countryside. Red lanterns are hung at the gates of every house, and firecrackers are crackling far and near. They don’t stop from morning to night, which makes the courtyard even more peaceful.

……

In a camp thousands of miles away, those hot-blooded athletes are drinking and eating meat in generous bowls. The charcoal fire in the stove bursts, like folk firecrackers, and the charcoal fire reflects young faces, jumping happy new year.

At sunset, Wei Cheng, who had finished his patrol, asked for leave from the officer, rode a red horse alone, left the camp, and slowly galloped up a high slope, stopping and staring in the direction of Yan Sui for a long time!

Snowflakes fell down and fell on the body, one person and one horse, and quickly merged into the white world.

It was spring, and the ice and snow began to melt. Lingzi came to Yansui in the carriage of Old Zhao.Xiyuan has been refusing to go home, Lingzi wanted to ease the relationship between the two, but she couldn't get it, so she had to come to Yansui to find Xiyuan by herself. It's their daughter.

Niang Xiyuan didn't let her go. The child was still young and born in less than a month. Although she took good care of it, her body was still not as strong as a normal-born child, and she always liked to make trouble. Both Niang Xiyuan and the nanny were tired of serving It's enough, how can I let Reiko go out with confidence.

This time, Niang Xiyuan changed her usual good temper, and her attitude was extremely firm.She is a mother-in-law, and although she is not used to setting rules for her daughter-in-law, and the Xi family does not have a tradition of punishing her daughter-in-law, that doesn't mean that Reiko can do whatever she wants.

She usually doesn't care about her children, but now she thinks about it, using her son to control her son, don't even think about it.

There was no other way, so Lingzi had no choice but to bring the girl she bought, named Xiaohong, to accompany her to Yansui.

When Lingzi came, Xiyuan didn't hide, but put her and Xiaohong in another room during the night's rest.

The candles on the table were about to burn out, and Xiyuan didn't come to her room. Reiko opened the door and saw that the study room was still on. She quickly made a pot of tea with hot water from the stove, and walked in. Xiyuan was Flipping through a book of Dayan Geography under the lamp.

The lights were flickering, two figures were reflected on the window, the voices in the room were high and low, after a while, Reiko came out with pale lips, she knelt down, begged, and told that person that she regretted it, and hoped to be corrected once. She will be good in the future, honor her elders, love her brothers, and be a qualified elder sister-in-law. However, Xiyuan's words brought her back to her original form.

Xiyuan said: "The blood you shed that day must have been chicken blood." He used affirmative sentences, not interrogative sentences.

She will never forget which day it was, and neither will Xiyuan.

Why did she forget that this person is a doctor, because Xiyuan seldom sees patients, so she often ignores this point, but this person has indeed studied medicine for several years, opened a medicinal material shop, and taught a medical technique Quite a fine uncle, how can you not tell the difference between human blood and chicken blood?

At that time, the situation was urgent, and Xiyuan didn't think too much about it, so he didn't pay attention. When he knew the truth, after deliberation, everything became clear. Framed would be unforgivable.

forgive you?How can I forgive you?

The Chengzi I raised and wanted him to be carefree and happy, why would you drive me away?My spoiled younger brother, my younger brother who is afraid of being wronged a little bit, why do you accuse and frame him?My Chengzi, I don’t know what sufferings I have experienced outside, what kind of sins I have suffered, what reason should I use to forgive you?

In the study, Xiyuan closed Geography and fell on the desk with a "slap", with a coldness that had never been flashed in his eyes.

The next day, Xiyuan was accompanied by Shuanzi to Binjiang Mansion. Lingzi stayed in the city for a few days. Although the rest of the Xi family did not speak harshly to her, their attitude was obviously a little cold.

Reiko, who was full of confidence at first, felt that she could win her husband's change of heart as long as she was low-key and gentle, a few days later, she went back to Lianhua Village, said hello to her mother-in-law, and asked Lao Zhao to drive the carriage I went back to my mother's house in Guashantun, saying that I would stay for a few days.

Niang Xiyuan nodded in agreement, she can't think about it now, because she has to take care of her granddaughter, she just went to Yansui for a day a few years ago, and came back after looking at it, now she is at home, thinking about her little one I only hope that the weather will get warmer soon so that I can hold my granddaughter to see my son.

In Binjiang Fucheng, in a rented courtyard, Xiyuan and Sun Ye watched the few people he bought for him.These people come from all walks of life, but they have one thing in common. All of their jobs are related to cavalry. Some can repair armor and weapons, some can make saddles and bridles for horses, and some have knowledge of herbal medicine. of……

After a period of training, these people will be sent to several places designated by Xiyuan to open shops there. Everyone is doing their own business, there is nothing special, and they are not required to engage in other things. It doesn't matter whether the shop is profitable or not, but they will be familiar with a person they have never seen before, familiar with his appearance, and can recognize him immediately when they see him, and pass the news back.

Also, even after the shop opened, under the guise outside the shop, there would always be some inconspicuous things, some were a paper lantern, some were a pair of sheepskin boots worn by children, some were a shuttlecock made of pheasant feathers, Things that are too ordinary, but people who are familiar with them will understand when they see them.Of course, these are just replicas, and Xiyuan is reluctant to take out the originals.I hope Chengzi sees these things, can know that this is the shop of the family, and get in touch with the family.

These people are just the first wave, and they will be bought in one after another in the future, and they will be dispatched one after another. Xiyuan holds their contracts of sale in his hand, so he is not afraid of their disloyalty.He only told him that this is the lost brother of the family, and he has not been found. If anyone helps to find him, he will definitely not treat him badly.

Craftsmen are all because of one or another reason that makes their lives unsustainable, or they were originally doing things for rich families, and now there is a person who can provide them with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and also give them money to open a shop. If you can help the master find the lost brother, that would be an even more amazing feat, and everyone is very enthusiastic.

However, during the training, Xiyuan observed carefully, and those who felt bad thoughts and those who had their own little calculations were all eliminated. The reason why he found Wei Cheng in this way was to avoid trouble for the family. The place where they are stationed must be an important military area. If they send people everywhere and they are discovered, they will be suspected of spying on the military situation. Cheng Zi, disregarding the safety of the whole family.

After the affairs of Binjiang Mansion were finished, the first group of people was sent out, and Xiyuan returned to Yansui City, and it was already early summer.

Lingzi returned to her natal home after two months, and then went back to Xi's home. She thought she would go to Xiyuan again to cry or beg, but she didn't. It was just that she went to Yansui more often, and often went to her own shop when she had nothing to do. Run, Xiyuan looked aside coldly, turning a deaf ear.

Although Zhang Cai and the others felt that it was a bit awkward for the young mistress to always go to the shop, they told the young boss several times, and the boss told them to behave as usual, so they had no choice but to accept this fact.

In early autumn, Lingzi proposed to make peace with Xiyuan, and Xiyuan agreed without any hesitation. In addition to returning Lingzi's dowry when she got married, she also gave her an additional 200 taels of silver.

After everything was over, before leaving, Lingzi stopped Xiyuan and asked him if he had ever liked her.Xiyuan replied: When I married you back then, I wanted to raise my eyebrows and be with you forever.

Reiko's tears couldn't stop falling down, but everything can't be turned back, married for a year and a half, but stayed alone in a vacant room for a year, young people, how can they bear this kind of loneliness and desolation.

After the two reconciled, Lingzi did not go back to her mother's house, but bought a small courtyard in Yansui with the money Xiyuan gave her. Soon, across from Xijia Food Shop, the original Songji Grocery Store changed its course and did not sell groceries. , Selling the same food as Xijia, spicy chicken feet, duck feet and goose feet; pickled pepper chicken feet, duck feet and goose feet, and other spicy and pickled peppers.

Because the price is cheaper than Xiji, it has attracted a lot of people to buy it.

On the third day after Songji Restaurant opened, Xiji Restaurant closed and never opened for business again.The people in Yansui City were very surprised, because although Song Ji sold some of the food in Xi Ji, it still couldn’t hurt the root of Xi Ji. I don’t know why Xi Ji was closed all of a sudden. I will inquire about what is going on.

Slowly, rumors came out that it was the young owner of Xiji. Although I had a deep love for my wife, I had my heart for Mingyue, but Mingyue shines in the ditch. Their young wife and the former owner of Songji's grocery store, Mrs. Song, agree in love and are determined. , No way, Xi Shaodong's family had no choice but to reconcile with his wife. Who would have thought that before his wife left, she stole the family's food recipes!

The colleagues are enemies, Xishao and Dong's old relationship is unforgettable, and they are unwilling to fight with each other, so they would rather close Xiji, and now they are extremely sad and bedridden.

A woman who has a husband, but hooks up with other men, and after she divorces, steals the prescriptions that her husband's family relies on to make a living, she should be a flirtatious and cruel person.All of a sudden, Reiko became Yan Sui's celebrity.There were more people in Songji Food Shop, but there were not many people shopping, because everyone came here to see the true face of the betrayed woman, so Lingzi dared not go out the door, and the second door did not dare to step.

The business of Songji Grocery Store was not very good in the past. Boss Song sat in front of his store and watched the people coming and going in Xiji. He was very envious. Inside, the secret of Dianxiji is revealed.

Lingzi knew that Xiyuan could never forgive her again, so when she went back to her natal home, the old man told her to reconcile her, or to be patient for a few more years, when Xiyuan's anger dissipated and Wei Cheng found her, she would coax him back, but Lingzi couldn't wait. , I can't swallow this breath.

It just so happened that once he went to Xiyuan's study, he accidentally saw the secret recipe of Xiji eating. It is estimated that Xiyuan had just read it and forgot to put it back. Yes, Xiyuan taught her some things when she and Xiyuan had a good relationship.

Reiko accidentally put the secret recipe into her arms, and after going back, her heart beat for a long time, and then she made up her mind, since your Xichangguan is ruthless to me because of Wei Cheng, well, why should I be attached to you, you Xijia Don't you just rely on a bit of stinky money? With this recipe, I can also open a shop and make a lot of money. See if you, Xichangguan, are still proud of you in front of me?

It happened that Boss Song was flirting with her, Lingzi thought that she was a woman and couldn't compete with the whole Xi family, so she hooked up with Boss Song, and the two of them worked hand in hand.

Lingzi is not stupid this time, she asked Boss Song to marry her first, and then she became a wife of Xijia. Moreover, only she knew about Fang Zi, and even Boss Song didn't tell her. Where no one can find it.

Boss Song is almost 30 years old. His wife passed away two years ago, but he has no heirs. He was thinking about marrying one, but he happened to meet Lingzi, who hit it off.

The husband and wife are doing very well together, but they didn't expect the situation to take a turn for the worse.Originally, Lingzi was angry with Xiyuan, so I drove across from Xiji, and I fought with you. Unexpectedly, when I hit the cotton with my fist, Xiji closed the door.Reiko was so angry that she almost lost her breath, what a deep love, what an unforgettable old love!

The ring was not successful, but he pushed himself to the forefront. Moreover, such a shop with a bad reputation still sells food. People have to suspect that Song Ji's things are not safe to buy and eat. Therefore, there were still customers in the beginning. , Later, it became less and less, and some people who bought Songji food also reported that the taste was much worse than Xiji. It is estimated that the couple had a bad conscience, cut corners and shoddy, so a few months later, Songji The door is basically empty.

When Boss Song saw it, he couldn’t continue the business, so he had to sublet the shop, and went to a neighboring county with Lingzi and his wife to join his uncle, planning to open a restaurant there to sell food. In Yansui, people are used to the taste of Xiji, but No one has eaten it elsewhere, so their food should still sell.

Xiyuan reconciled, Xiji closed the door, the Xi family thought that Xiyuan would be anxious to get angry, but there was nothing unusual, instead it was like letting go of trouble. Although the old people were puzzled, they saw that Xiyuan was okay, and comforted him, Did not follow up.

Only Xi Wei, in the dead of night, quietly asked his brother: "Brother, did you do it on purpose?" There are no secret recipes written on paper in their family's cooking, all of which are prepared by his brother in his heart.

"Read your book carefully." Xi Yuan knocked Xi Wei on the head.

How could such a vain woman be willing to live a good life, and then live a poor life? Fangzi was originally a temptation. As long as Lingzi had a little kindness in her heart, Xiyuan would not make up her mind to force her away. When his son came back, he remembered that woman was upset, and it was best to keep out of sight.

Chengzi, his Chengzi, even though it has been several months, the people sent out still have no news of Chengzi, but Xiyuan feels that no matter how difficult it is, he must find Chengzi.
