The morning in Suijintan is busy and lively, the hens of each family are cooing and begging for food.

The old yellow dog guarding the door would also wag his tail and linger behind his master, wanting to ask for half a pancake to soak in vegetable soup, which is a rare delicacy for him.

The women were busy making breakfast, and the men left as soon as they were full.

The fruit trees on the mountain have to be wrapped with grass fences, and the path on the other side of the archway has to be snow-swept.

And Li Yong's new yard is about to be finished, so he hastened to clean it up and make it warm before he can live in it.

The Li family is busier than other families, at least they have to cook breakfast for nearly twenty people.

Fortunately, there are plenty of hands to do the work.

In the courtyard of the Cui family, Nanny He and Shui Ling got up early, and Shui Ling went to the next door to help cook. Nanny He was under the eaves of the porch, putting two medicine pots on the brazier, and slowly boiling the medicinal soup.

Soon, Shui Ling came back with a food box, and called He Nanny to come in for dinner together.

The girl had already sat up, endured the pain in her body, braided two braids for herself, and pulled two pieces of cloth from her petticoat to make a headband, trying her best to make herself look neater and neater.

She still wanted to support herself to go to the floor to wash, but was stopped by Nanny He and Shui Ling.

The two helped bring water for her to wash, and she went to throw a wet cloth first, and helped her younger brother wipe his face and hands clean.

When Nanny He and Shui Ling saw it, they couldn't help but nodded.

Not to mention the origins of these two, at least this sister is very competent.

Tao Hongying didn't have to go to the restaurant these two days, and someone took over from the valley.

This morning I made golden millet porridge, steamed dumplings with pork sauerkraut, and red bean paste buns that I didn’t have time to steam last night.

Considering the two patients, Tao Hongying also added brown sugar and jujube to the porridge brought to Cui's house.

The child didn't have a fever last night and slept soundly. When he woke up and saw these meals, he devoured them hungrily.

The girl wanted to stop her, but she didn't open her mouth. She just apologized and pushed the last two steamed dumplings towards Nanny He and Shui Ling.

Mother He smiled and shared the steamed dumplings with her siblings, and said with a smile, "You don't have to be restrained, you can eat as much as you want.

"Our master's family is very kind. We slaves are no different from what the master eats. It's not a bad mouth."

Shui Ling bit the sweet bean paste bun and nodded vigorously.

"Mommy is right, you'll know when you stay here for a long time. Our Fourth Madam is the best at cooking, and the braised pork is amazing! Give me a piece of meat, and I'll be able to chop off a big bowl of rice!"

He Nanny smiled and stared at her, "You are just greedy, but you fell into a pit of fortune when you came to our house."

"Hehe, my mother said that I am a fool." Shui Ling smiled, ate the red bean paste bun in his hand in two or three bites, and said, "Nurse, pick up the table, let me go and see if the masters have finished eating? I'm afraid the old lady will come over and sit down."

"Okay, let's go." Mammy He waited for the siblings to finish eating, and quickly cleared the table. As soon as it was cleaned up, the old lady led Jiayin over, followed by Tao Hongying and Dongmei.

The girl struggled and insisted on kneeling on the kang to kowtow to the old lady and others, "Thank you, old lady, for saving my life."

The child's leg was injured and he couldn't move, so he half supported his body and bowed his head in salute.

The old lady helped the girl to sit down with her own hands, and then patted the child, before she sat on the edge of the kang.

Mother He came in with the medicinal soup, the girl drank it in one gulp, but the child struggled to drink it, and looked eagerly at the chubby Jiayin.

Jiayin blinked, then squeezed her purse.

As expected, the child drank much more happily, and finally his bitter eyes and nose were squeezed together.

Then Jiayin came forward with a smile, took out a piece of sesame candy from his purse, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The child clicked his mouth twice, a little disappointed, as if it was not as sweet as yesterday's sugar ball...

Jiayin pretended not to know, pinched a piece of sesame candy herself, and licked it slowly.

Tao Hongying took off the veil and wiped her daughter's saliva.

The old lady asked, "Girl, my second child was able to see you were beaten yesterday and rescued you. But I don't know your name and where do you live? Do you want to send someone to deliver a letter to your home? "

The girl's face was obviously darkened a bit, she took a deep breath and said, "If you go back to the old lady, our siblings live in Qingmu Town, Yongze County, west of Xindu, our family name is Gong, my name is Gong Yunshu, my younger brother Called Gong Yu.

My grandfather is a Juren, and my father is a scholar. In our Qingmu Town, they are considered well-known. More than a dozen families have defected to live together. They have lived here for 20 years, and it is very lively.

"But five or six years ago, when my father went out to enjoy flowers, he was beaten to death by gangsters and robbed of his money. My mother...followed soon!"

The girl choked up, holding back her tears and said, "My grandfather was alone with my father, who always valued him very much and couldn't bear the blows. He passed away after being sick for half a year. Only my grandma and my siblings were left at home.

"The life was good at first, but the clansman became greedy and kept coming to the door to borrow money and grab the fields. Half a month ago, my grandma... also passed away. Just after the first seven days were burned, the clansman kicked us out of the yard and usurped the family property.

"My younger brother and I lived in a shabby hut at the entrance of the village. As a result, my uncle said he would send us to Beijing to find work, but in fact he wanted to sell us into a flower building. My younger brother and I ran out looking for an opportunity, and we were finally chased on the street... ..."

Everyone was worried and gnashed their teeth angrily.

Tao Hongying said, "This is too bullying. It's obviously a murder for money and family property!"

The old lady also sighed, "Your family doesn't have any relatives and friends, can you stand up for you?"

Miss Yun Shu shook her head, and replied with a wry smile, "I'm leaving tea, my grandfather and father have both passed away, and my grandfather's family is too far away, so I don't see much on weekdays. Even if I help the Gong family, there is nothing in return. Who wants to be troublesome?" Woolen cloth.

"Also, the clan uncle took my family's [-] acres of land and gold and silver, and cleared up the relationship between the town and the county government. Even if our siblings want to resist, there is no way to sue."

"There is really no kingly law!" Tao Hongying shook her head, "Nowadays, the vicinity of Xindu is under the feet of the emperor, and there are still people who dare to be so rampant!"

"There is no shortage of villains in this world, otherwise their siblings would not have been beaten half to death on the street. Fortunately, the second brother met, otherwise he would have died." The old lady looked at Miss Yun Shu and comforted her, " Take care of your wounds first, and then think of a solution after your injuries are healed."

Yun Shu quickly saluted and thanked him, but pulled the wound on his back and grunted in pain.

The old lady got up quickly, "You brothers and sisters, please take a good rest, please ask Nanny He to help you if you have something to do. We will come to see you when we have free time!"

After finishing speaking, she waved her hand and led everyone away, leaving Nanny He to take care of her.

Li Zhensheng and Li's second son were waiting for the news. After hearing the old lady's whereabouts of the siblings, Li Zhensheng went to the city.

Although he often traveled to Quanzhou this year, most of the shopkeepers and assistants he relied on had been recovered by him.

If you want to do something, although it is not as convenient as the Hou Mansion, it is enough.

But this time, he didn't plan to use those shopkeepers and assistants, but instead found Wang Fu'er and his wife.
