After Lan Niang said this, she closed her mouth, and she didn't answer what Jiang Yu said to her afterwards. After about two sticks of incense, the visiting time was over, and Jiang Yu bid her farewell in a low voice. Dongshan, who was sobbing and crying, approached, looked down at her strange face, and after a while, he didn't squat down until Zou Yi tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said softly, "Take care."

Lan Niang rolled her eyes, as if she heard it, but also as if she didn't hear anything.

They didn't stop to see her reaction, and walked out after saying take care.

Dongshan's eyes were very hot, and he couldn't stop crying for a moment. His eyes were already weaker than Pangri's. At this moment, he walked under the sun. The sun was so hot at noon in autumn. He felt his eyelids twitch and his pupils hurt, and he almost went blind. , Close your eyes quickly.

He trembled his wet eyelashes, his eyes were bright red, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand in fear to grab something. Suddenly, he touched a hand, a warm and dry hand, right under his grasp. Seconds later, that hand held him tightly back.

He let that hand hold him, leading him across the steps, around the corner, through the corridor, and walked out of the yamen steadily. Feeling a gust of warm wind, Dongshan opened his eyes cautiously, and saw him It was the brother's hand that was holding it.

Dongshan couldn't help but blushed.

The second Qing Yu saw him open his eyes, he shook off his hand in disgust: "This is not an example," he said, "My hand is reserved for Man Qian."

Dongshan looked at his brother, he seemed to be used to the wind and rain, he smelled rough from head to toe, so that even the kindness he released was so blunt, but the more people who can't release kindness, occasionally leaking such a little bit, the more It seems very precious.

His eyes were hot, and the tears that had just stopped flowed out again.

Qing Yu's face froze, Zou Yi frowned and poked him with an elbow, Qing Yu touched her shiny head, feeling a little guilty, reluctantly patted him on the shoulder as comfort.

After that, they never saw Lan Niang again.

Time flies like a white horse, but in the blink of an eye, the day of execution has arrived.It was a private hanging, and it was not made public. Even so, the newspapers of various bureaus were still arguing, and it was terribly realistic.

Zou Yi got up from the bed in the morning and saw that Qing Yu had already washed up and was reading the newspaper in the dim light, so he got up and opened the window: "It's so dark, I don't worry about spoiling my eyesight."

Qing Yu smiled, didn't answer the words, instead she got up and served him a bowl of chestnut porridge: "It's been kept warm in the basin for you, wash up and come eat."

Zou Yi rinsed her mouth, wiped her face with a hot towel, suddenly became excited, and covered Qing Yu's face with the towel, Qing Yu didn't move, and smiled after he uncovered it: "It smells so good."

He was talking about towels, but his eyes were fixed on Zou Yi.

Zou Yi blushed, did not speak, picked up the porridge and ate a few mouthfuls, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Qing Yu's newspapers, there were several, and each copy turned to the side where Lan Niang was executed.

His pupils shrank, but his movements never stopped. He quickly finished eating and asked the waiter to clean up.

What they promised Jiang Yu at the beginning was to find out the real culprit and leave, but now even though they found out, Qing Yu never mentioned the matter of leaving.Zou Yi knew that he was worried about the results of the annual meeting, so she didn't rush and waited with him.

He finished his meal, straightened his clothes, and was about to go out to the medicine hall. Halfway there, he turned around as if thinking of something: "The inn is too expensive, so staying like this is not an option after all. Miss Jiang said that she found two rooms for us. The rent is cheap, I will come back earlier today, do you want to go with me to have a look?"

Qing Yu was also about to go out to the pier, when she heard this, she paused her hands tying her shoelaces, and said again: "Okay. Wait for me, we'll go out together, and I'll see you off."

Zou Yi stood waiting for him at the door, but he thought in his heart that the medicine hall and the wharf were two opposite paths. He knew why Qing Yu did this, but he couldn't show it on his face, and only sighed deeply in his heart.

After Qing Yu finished dressing, she took his hand downstairs and walked a long way. Seeing that Zou Yi was almost coaxing him back, he also remained silent. Zou Yi had to quickly go over and peck twice when no one was paying attention. One on each side of the face, and then coaxed the older child who occasionally acted like a baby but didn't give up easily back.

The whole day was unremarkable, except at noon, when he was full of food, he felt sleepy, tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep. He was restlessly getting up to pour tea, when he suddenly heard three bells ringing, each ringing louder than the last. , The sound is farther than the sound.

Zou Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was three death knells.

I don't know which family it is, or who it is, at this good time when the sun is shining -- it has passed away.

He left his job and met Qing Yu at the door, waiting for a cup of tea.Although Jiang Yu's complexion was not good, but his expression was not too bad, he led the two of them to the house.

It turned out to be the other courtyard of Jiang's family, which was originally for Jiang Yu, but the single room she lived in the yamen was usually unoccupied, and only an old woman cleaned it, so she thought about renting it out.They said they were renting two wing rooms, but there were actually no other tenants, so the other courtyard belonged to them, and the price was unbelievably low.

Zou Yi knew that it was Jiang Yu's kindness, so she didn't refuse, but only thanked her a few times.

How should I live the days to come? The deaths of Lanniang and Yingniang are like small stones thrown into the lake, with only a slight ripple.

It's just that as the end of the new year is approaching, their matters are brought up again, but they are brought up together with whether to amend the law. There are still many problems that need to be resolved, and their matters can only occupy a page the size of dried tofu.

Even so, it was very gratifying, they resigned from the old woman when they were free, Zou Yi and Qing Yu both got into the habit of reading newspapers, and when they came back to have dinner at night, one of them washed the dishes under the light, while the other read the newspaper to He listened, Dongshan swept the floor and wiped the table, and teased Zou Sausage, who was getting fatter and no longer suave.

Zou Yi carefully used scissors to cut out all the stories about Lan Niang from the newspaper, and kept them in a fruit box. Sometimes when she couldn't sleep at night, she would get up and look through them.

Finally, the day of the year-end meeting arrived.The date is set on the 28th and 29th, and the results will be announced in the morning of the [-]th.

Foreigners are not eligible to go in, and even locals have to be selected and squeezed in. They just watch the newspapers to check the latest news.

Apart from reading newspapers, nothing else is vague.The pharmacy and the pier are finally done, but the family's New Year's Eve dinner has to be prepared.Last year, one of them broke his leg, and the other fell and became paralyzed. Now all three of them have hands and feet, and they have a big yard. No matter how you look at it, they look like a home, and they can't be careless.

Zou Yi bought chickens, ducks, and fish intermittently, raised them, and got up early in the morning to buy fresh vegetables. They were white, green, oily and juicy, and she felt relieved just looking at them.

When he came back, Qing Yu had already got up, and was sweeping the dust together with Dong Shan.

Zou Yi watched, even though these two senior brothers were not biological, after staying for a long time, they would always catch some similar aura, but they were an exception.Qingyu's hands and feet are nimble, and she has great strength, wiping the table like a mirror; Dongshan has grown fat all over her body, her strength is not necessarily strong, and her movements are even more gentle. After wiping the chair for a long time, she still didn't wipe off the dirt. Qing Yu flicked it away in disgust, and told him to just watch Zou La Sausage and not let him make trouble.

Dongshan was drooping his head and smoothing the hair of the sausage. Suddenly, he felt a flash in front of his eyes. When he looked up, he saw Zou Yi smiling and watching him. He couldn't help but blush at his clumsiness. After a glance, he found that Zou Yi was smiling kindly, and then he relaxed and said, "Senior brother is cleaning the table over there."

Qing Yu said unhappily: "He has seen it a long time ago, and he is not blind."

When Zou Yi approached, he saw Zou Yi's vegetable basket and couldn't help sighing: "Doctor Zou really doesn't know the sufferings of the world, and the price of vegetables on New Year's Eve is so expensive."

Zou Yi smiled, and put the vegetable basket on the table: "Since you don't want to part with it, let me and Dongshan eat it."

Qing Yu hurriedly snatched the vegetable basket over, rolled her eyes skillfully at him, Zou Yi smiled and went into the kitchen.

The lion's head and braised pork have already been stewed, the chicken has been plucked and bled, and it is being thrown into the pot to suffocate. It's dumplings.

Qingyu and Dongshan have been wandering with their master, they don't know where they go, they often can't tell the difference between their days, their lives are rough, and they don't have the luxury of making dumplings.

Zou Yi made the dough in person, told Dongshan to wash the vegetables, and handed them over to Qing Yu to chop the stuffing. He didn't like big meat, and he divided six parts of cabbage and four parts of pork. Qing Yu stood on the stove and chopped the stuffing until his whole body was chopped It was sweat. In winter, he took off his padded jacket and put on a middle coat. Zou Yi walked over to say that he was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he greeted him and put the jacket on his shoulders.

As for the dog Zou Dachshund, because the three of them didn't notice and lost control, he played a very lively role as a demon, and knocked over two candlesticks in a short while. Just as he was about to continue his great work, he suddenly heard a terrifying sound from the kitchen, and he held his breath and concentrated. After finally plucking up the courage to take a look at the door of the kitchen, it was a coincidence that I ran into Qingyu chopping stuffing with a serious expression—actually, Qingyu had no idea, but he had deep facial features, and he was a bit evil when he didn’t smile—this Zou Lachang's gaze was magnified several times, and it was clearly the bald monk with a ferocious face who wanted to chop up dog meat!

It was so frightened that it quickly shrank under the table of the Eight Immortals without making a sound, and it was coaxed out by Zou Yi for a long time during dinner at night.

Naturally, the three of them didn't know the colorful inner activities of this dog. They made noodles, chopped stuffing, and were about to make dumplings.

There is only Zou Yihui here, who is still a half-baked man, wrapped two limp gold ingots, but fortunately, Qing Yu was clever and quick to use, and in a short while wrapped them even more beautifully than Zou Yi.

The two of them were teaching the clumsy Dongshan to make dumplings, when they heard a knock on the door, Jiang Yu walked in with her hands behind her back, a smile on her lips.

She first greeted the three of them one by one, and then said straight to the point: "The results of the annual meeting came out, and the newspaper was printed late. Let me tell you first: the law reform has been passed. Anyone under the age of ten, regardless of whether they voluntarily , any relationship will be counted as coercion and will be punished according to law.”

Seeing that the three of them were just staring at her and not talking, she rolled her eyes and said in a low voice: "I don't know if you still remember that when He Xiao rented the wing room of the inn and said it was a private meeting lover, we checked for a long time and couldn't figure it out , Later, thinking of the shopkeeper's testimony, he reversed his thinking, and it was found out that it was Ji Qing from the enlightenment class."

On that day, it was said that He Xiao kept calling Qing'er fondly, sometimes sweetheart, and sometimes Qing'er. In fact, this "Qing" is not the other "Qing", and what he calls is actually the name.

Jiang Yu said: "The Yamen asked Ji Qing, and she agreed to stand up and fight the first lawsuit, which will start after the annual leave."

After finishing speaking, there was a moment of silence, Jiang Yu was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help tightening his cuffs, but saw Qing Yu suddenly stood up, and only said: "Okay." Then he took a plate of dumplings on the table, Pick it into the food box, hand it over, and said gently: "I made it myself, and I'll give it to you."

Jiang Yu was stunned, took it with a smile, and took out the food box that was carried behind her: "Coincidentally, I also brought dumplings, but they were stuffed with winter bamboo shoots and shrimp."

Qing Yu loves to eat meat, and more like fish, shrimp and other aquatic products, most of them have never tasted it before, but now she tried her best to make up for it, so she hurriedly took it, laughed and said thank you.

After that, several people gathered together and said a few auspicious words, Zou Yi asked her to have lunch, but she rushed home, Zou Yi didn't force her.

Zou Yi also kept an eye out, because Dongshan was a vegetarian, so after lunch, he grated green pumpkin and stir-fried it to make stuffing, made pumpkin dumplings, and prepared to steam it for Dongshan to eat at night.

Before we knew it, it was night, and a table of good dishes was put on the table. Even Qing Yu felt that it was a little too rich, and said to Zou Yi, "What if the three of us can't finish all the dishes?"

Zou Yi smiled and said, "Then eat leftovers in the days to come, anyway, it won't go bad in winter."

After having a meal with He Meimei, Zou Yi added a few meaty bones to Zou Sausage's rice bowl. After the meal, they gathered around and chatted for a while. When he was tired from work, he was driven to rest instead of watching the year together.

After Dongshan left, only Qing Yu and Zou Yi were left in the hall. Although this island country is very warm and there is no need to light a stove in winter, but there are only two people in such a huge hall, it always feels cold and empty, so they went to Discussing about shifting positions, they moved into the room to watch the new year together.

Zou Yi went to the kitchen to cook dumplings first, and when he returned to his room, he saw Qing Yu had already taken off his jacket, poured wine, and was lazily leaning on the couch, like a big tabby cat.The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wine filled the whole room. The room is not big, but the scent is so strong that it makes people a little drunk before drinking.

Zou Yi took a deep breath, smiled and said: "It's so sweet!" Walking over while talking, put the dumpling casually, and touched Qing Yu's face by herself: "Why is your face so red, can't it be drunk?"

Qing Yu didn't speak, but covered her mouth and stared straight at Zou Yi.As soon as he covered his mouth, his eyes became prominent. This man's outline was sharp and his facial features were cold and glamorous. Only his eyes showed a touch of tenderness, which could not be seen very clearly on weekdays. Only at night, when he was steamed by alcohol under the lamp, could he show it.

Zou Yi was so excited by him, she leaned over and kissed him: "Are you really drunk? Why does Master only drink so much?"

Qingyu laughed when she heard this long-lost address, wiped her face and said: "Maybe, I wanted to drink it when I was having New Year's dinner, and I was worried about that brat Dongshan, but it made me suffocate, and I drank most of it when I came back. altar."

Zou Yi glanced at it, although the sweet-scented osmanthus wine was not strong, it couldn't stop him from drinking it like water, and the more intense it was, the easier it was to get drunk.

He handed over the small dish: "It just so happens that there is vinegar here to sober up, dip it in vinegar and eat some dumplings."

Qing Yu frowned and shook her head, but she took some chopped chili peppers, dipped them in and ate half of the dumplings.

Qing Yu eats everything like he is in a hurry to go to war, Zou Yi can't change it even after saying it several times, he has already finished eating and is sipping wine, Zou Yi is eating a few mouthfuls of dumplings and drinking a few mouthfuls of wine.

Although there is no stove in the house, it is as warm as spring. Zou Yi put down the chopsticks and leaned comfortably on the couch, thinking that this day is really wonderful.

He stretched, and felt that the rum flowed to his limbs along the blood, making his whole body hot and soft, and he couldn't even open his eyelids for a while.

At this time, he suddenly heard a chirp chirp chirp, which was not very clear, as if through a layer of tulle, he was also a little drunk and uncertain.Qing Yu obviously heard it too, stood up and was about to go out the door.

Zou Yi looked at his back: "What are you going to do?"

Qing Yu said: "See if the little swallows have frozen to death."

Zou Yi's eyes widened in surprise: "It's winter now, where did the swallows come from?"

Qing Yu said: "The winter here is too warm, a few days ago I saw a swallow's nest on the eaves, but I haven't seen any living things, I thought they had left." As she spoke, she was about to open the door.

Zou Yi saw that the soles of his feet were fluttering and he was drawing a semicircle tremblingly. She couldn't help but slapped the cushion, and laughed loudly: "Don't go," he said, "It's not too late." , it’s not good to scare people, the swallows who celebrate the Chinese New Year also want to be safe.”

Qing Yu turned her head and stared at him, held the door with her hands, tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then frowned, closed the door reluctantly and walked back.

Zou Yi glanced at the swallow's nests outside the door, and then glanced at Qing Yu who was walking leisurely, and suddenly remembered a line of poetry.

It was a poem he would never have thought of when he was young.

At that time, he didn't like them, thinking they were vulgar and greasy, and only the big waves washing the sand, the horses singing, and drinking alone outside the Great Wall were the top grade.But as he got older, he liked those vulgar poems more and more.The vulgarity is good, the vulgarity is wonderful, and the vulgarity is intimate.

That poem is exactly:

Wish to be like Liang Shangyan, see you every year.

The author has something to say:

Wish to be like Liang Shangyan, see each other year after year. ——Feng Tingsi "Longevity Girl·Spring Banquet"
