After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Chapter 212 Brother and sister compete for delicious food

Mingjia ate the rice cake brought back by Mrs. Yan in the evening. It was made by ordinary people in the northwest. It was more like a simple version of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.

The upper and lower layers of rice cake are made of yellow millet and pearly glutinous rice, with a layer of osmanthus honey drizzled on top. Mingjia took a sip, the sweetness was just right, and there was a faint scent of osmanthus.

Mingjia thinks it tastes very good. Although many people in Qu County make it, this rice cake is very suitable for Mingjia's taste. Mrs. Dong also tasted a piece, and Mrs. Dong was full of praise for this rice cake.

Mrs. Yan was relieved when she saw that both her wife and the young lady liked it. When she saw the young lady, she asked where she bought the rice cakes. Mrs. Yan quickly answered: "As I tell you, Miss, I bought it at a food shop on the next street."

Ming Jia's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly thought, "Is this the food shop that Shen County Cheng often goes to?"

With suspicion in mind, Mingjia looked at Mrs. Yan. Although she didn't ask anything, Mrs. Yan nodded cryptically towards her young lady.

Mingjia got the answer and couldn't help but pick up the spoon again and wanted to eat another piece of rice cake. It's really soft, glutinous and sweet, and everything is well controlled.

Mrs. Dong stretched out her hand to stop Ming Jia: "If you like it, you can't eat more. This rice cake is hard to eat, and we'll have dinner soon."

Seeing that Ming Jia was about to pout, Mrs. Dong immediately said, "If you like it, ask Mrs. Yan to buy it for you tomorrow!"

In fact, Mingjia didn't really want to eat this rice cake, so... okay! Ming Jia may have suddenly become a child and wants to act coquettishly with Mr. Dong.

Mrs. Dong took Mrs. Shui to the kitchen, and Mingjia took Mrs. Yan to the east wing. When Mingjun came back from the front yard, he only saw a few rice cakes on the table.

Mrs. Yan told Mingjia everything she had found out in the past two days. The owner of the diner shop is a 23-year-old girl named Jiang. Miss Jiang is a native of Qu County and has lived in Qu County for generations.

After hearing this, Mingjia felt relieved. Miss Jiang's parents died early, and now Miss Jiang only has one younger brother, who is studying in the county school.

Mrs. Yan meant to inquire about Miss Jiang's brother tomorrow. Mingjia quickly said no, as long as it was proved that Miss Jiang was not suddenly placed in Qu County by someone with good intentions.

The rest is all Mr. Shen’s own business. Mingjia didn't want to hear Miss Jiang's story, because it was nothing more than a clan relative trying to seize the family property, and then Miss Jiang took her younger brother to become independent.

Mingjia thought for a while and said: "Keep an eye on it for a few more days and wait for news from Zhuangzi. If you are sure there is no problem, don't worry about it."

Mrs. Yan said hesitantly: "Miss, Miss Jiang's family..." Mingjia turned to look at Mrs. Yan and said, "That is Miss Jiang's own cause and effect, and it may be County Captain Shen's in the future, but it has nothing to do with us. !”

Mrs. Yan understood what Miss Mingjia meant and quickly bowed to show that she understood. Ming Jia left the wing first. Mrs. Yan stood there and thought for a while, laughing at herself that she was getting old and had softened her heart towards strangers.

When Mingjia returned to the main hall, she saw that her brother had finished all the rice cakes. For a moment, Mingjia was a little angry, and there were two thoughts fighting in his mind.

One was shouting crazily: "Ah, ah, ah, beat him and take away my rice cakes!" The other was saying meanly: "Go to the kitchen to complain to my mother and let her scold her."

After taking a few deep breaths, Mingjia walked into the main hall calmly. He said to Mingjun: "Brother, those rice cakes were specially left by my mother for my father. Why did you eat them all?"

Mingjun's expression froze and he thought, "It's broken! I forgot to leave it for daddy!" Mingjun quickly turned to look at his sister for help: "Jiajia, what should I do?"

Mingjia looked at her brother with a smile and suggested thoughtfully: "Mr. Yan bought these rice cakes from outside. How about you use your monthly silver to buy some more?"

Mingjun felt relieved when he heard that it was bought outside and not made by his mother. He quickly untied the purse from his waist and said, "Okay! Just do it like this. If I bother my mother-in-law, buy me another one."

In the end, he simply gave Mrs. Yan the last bit of money. Mrs. Yan didn't even need to look at the young lady's face, she just stepped forward and accepted the money.

Xiao Qingshan went to Shen Xianwei's appointment and helped Shen Xianwei celebrate with everyone, even Xie Boyuan, who rarely went out, went. Therefore, Dong took the two children to have dinner.

Mingjun ate a lot of rice cakes. In order to prevent his mother from noticing anything unusual, he ate the same amount as usual for dinner. After coming out of the main courtyard, Mingjun kept pulling Mingjia to accompany him for a walk in the courtyard to eat.

Mingjia felt heartbroken and funny watching her brother feel uncomfortable while being supported! In the end, it was Mrs. Yan's suggestion to cook a bowl of digestion soup for Master Mingjun, and Mingjun and Mingjia were saved.

Mingjun and Mingjia accompanied Mrs. Yan to the kitchen. Mrs. Yan took dried hawthorn and tangerine peel to prepare soup. Mingjun and Mingjia sat in front of the fire to keep warm and chat.

Suddenly, Ming Jun chuckled and said, "I remember when I was a kid, when we were still in Tianjia Village, we would stay by the fire to keep warm when it was cold, but you don't even remember that."

Mingjun, a young boy who is only ten years old, has a tone full of nostalgia and a hint of melancholy. Mingjia remembers it, even Mingjia remembers it longer than his brother.

Mingjia remembered that when she was just a few months old, her parents wouldn't let her brother feed her, but he always wanted to feed her secretly. However, he was only a little over three years old at that time.

Mingjia suddenly remembered her brother's previous unhappiness, and asked him tentatively: "Brother, do you miss Huzi and the others?"

Mingjia didn't know about her brother's school situation in the county, let alone whether he had any good friends, but he had never seen his brother invite any of his friends back as a guest.

Ming Jun didn't know how to answer his sister's question for a while. He had been studying with his master Xie Boyuan these years, although he later went to the county school.

However, he was greatly influenced by Xie Boyuan, and he was willing to make friends with his classmates from the county school. However, he would always be keenly aware of his classmates' ulterior motives after only a short period of contact.

Mingjun couldn't tell whether he missed Huzi or his life in Tianjiacun. Seeing that her brother was confused, Mingjia would not help him analyze these things. Mingjia felt that these things were what his brother needed to experience on his way to growth.

Mrs. Yan quickly cooked the digestion soup and filled out a large bowl and a small bowl. The small bowl was prepared by Mingjia. The rice cake was not easy to melt, so Mrs. Yan was worried that Miss Mingjia would feel uncomfortable.

So, Mingjun and Mingjia sat by the stove, using the pot as a small table, sipping the digestion soup in small sips.
