"I cannot find out your origin, or you can't explain it clearly. Since I saw you in Huimaling Village, I have never treated you as an ordinary child. Even if you have any of your deeds, no one will think you are an ordinary person. In short, I will feel at ease with this object to your hands."

Zhang Hongyu's face was solemn and very serious. Qiao Qiao was not allowed to answer, nor was he not allowed to answer.

"Old Zhang, it's so difficult for you to do this for my granddaughter. Maybe this thing is a killing disaster in your hands. You can bear it if you say you can't bear it?" Old Chen pointed at Old Zhang and was angry.

"Everyone can be in danger, but my good girl won't. When did you ever see her in danger?"

"What? Do you still hope she is in danger?"

"Old Chen, don't argue with me, you can understand what I mean."

"I do not understand!"

...

The two old men were quarreling in the kitchen. Qiao Qiao couldn't see it. It was just a piece of jade. If I just took it, I just didn't believe it. Can this piece of jade be opened and bite me?

Qiao Qiao took the box and hugged it in her arms, "Let's go home, sit on the chair and drink tea before making a noise slowly, so that it will be easy and artistic."

After taking two steps, the little girl turned around and chuckled and comforted Zhang Hongyu, "Old Master Zhang, as long as I am here, this jade will be there, I will keep it for you, don't worry."

After getting the little girl's words, Zhang Hongyu smiled, patted the dust of her clothes, and went out to find a carriage to return to Wutong Street.

The next thing is to live a boring life in the city. Qiao Qiao was either in a daze when she was full every day or teased the big dust in the backyard. Big Qiaoza couldn't get out of the pile of books, so the two old men played chess, chess, or chess every day.

When he was idle, Qiao Qiao made a deck of playing cards with a stack of hard paper found in the study. Just drawing pictures on the fifty-four cards, he spent two days.

"Old man, I have new things here, I'll teach you?"

Qiao Qiao happily took a stack of playing cards and shook them in front of the two old men, and pushed the black and white pieces that had not yet decided the winner and the defeat were aside, putting the cards on.

"How to play this new thing?" Zhang Hongyu asked at the very exquisite cards of the painter.

"Come on, give it a try." Mr. Chen took it directly.

It’s easy to do if you are interested. Qiao Qiao taught you how to recognize cards, teach you how to play, hoe the land, head landlords, and upgrade...

"How is it? Is there anything more interesting than this chess?"

Both old men are very smart and can be said to each other.

"It's interesting. Come on, let's get to know the three of us, one Landlords, first get familiar with each other." Mr. Chen had already shuffled the cards and sent them.

"If there is no suitable material, I would have something more fun to make."

Qiao Qiao was thinking about mahjong. The mahjong was exquisitely made of materials and the quantity was quite large, so it was difficult to find it. After returning to the village, he would find beautiful wood to make another pair so that the old men in the village could play with it.

"Hurry up and play, I'm the king! I'll win." Chen Geng was in high spirits.

"Qiao'er, what do you think? Focus on it. We will win back this game." Zhang Hongyu reminded him while shuffling the cards.

"I've been thinking for many days. My second brother should go back. It's up to him to improve the food."

When I thought about having lotus roots, it was her favorite Jingtang lotus root. Qiao Qiao was so quiet that she could not play cards anymore. You two hoe the earth and go to see it at my door.

"How can you know that he is about to go back? Can you calculate it?" Old Chen was unhappy. His granddaughter was not enough to play Landlord.

"Well, I just calculated it." Qiao Qiao curled her lips and went to the door to take a look.

Oh, this is so effective, even this magical calculation can be used to set up a fortune teller at the alley, and you will definitely make a lot of money. Look, as soon as the door is opened, the sound of horse hooves stops, the carriage squeaks, and the second brother is jumping off the horse and laughing at the girl.

"Brother, it's really you."

Qiao Qiao screamed with joy. Everyone in the yard heard it. Everyone came out to see it. Aunt Mu quickly helped Mao Liang Sanpin and the others move things into the house.

"Brother, both cars are full? What have you pulled?" Qiao Qiao ran over and looked at the car and the car.

The rice was filled with six large sacks. The rice was filled with dried black fungus, and the other car was filled with newly dug lotus roots. There was also a chicken cage on it, which contained several chickens.

"I heard that we would live in the city until the Chinese New Year before we returned. Those chickens were given by the two grandfathers of the Zhou family. The lotus root was dug up by the master, the rice was pulled by the master, and the dried fungus was divided by our family. They were all taken away."

Qiao Wu was unloading the rice bag and talking to Qiao Qiao. His movement was not vague at all. He had to be a hundred pounds a bag, but he easily picked it up.

"Aunt Mu, don't move it. Go and see if there are any bones. Come back to buy some pig bones and you will be able to make a pig's feet. I'll stew a large pot of lotus root bone soup tonight."

When I think of the fragrance of Jingtang lotus root soup, Qiao'er's delicious greedy cat has already come out and jumped around.

"You two are careful to move the lotus roots. Don't break them. If they are injured, they will be stored for a while. These can be eaten for a long time." Mr. Chen shouted at Mao Liang and Lian Sanpin.

"I know, old man."

The two young men responded, and they worked very quickly and were very motivated to learn from Erqiao. No wonder Erqiao liked to take them with them.

"I cook rice porridge and buns every day. If I get tired of eating, I will cook big white rice, lotus root soup, and fried chicken with fungus tonight. Aunt Mu, do you remember?" Chen Geng arranged a menu for dinner for Aunt Mu again.

"Hey, remember, old man." Aunt Mu went out to buy meat and bones with a basket of vegetables.

"Old Chen, why are you worried about that? If you have Qiaoer, come and play cards quickly. You have just learned it and haven't had enough fun."

Oh yes, playing cards. When I heard Lao Zhang shouting, Mr. Chen helped carry the cage chicken into the yard, he really didn't care.

When Erqiao came back, the whole Qiaoyuan became lively. Chunhe set fire early, and waited for Aunt Mu to come back to kill the chicken and boil lotus root.

Two hours later, the rich fragrance of lotus roots floated in the entire Shawan alley.

I have eaten lotus root more or less, but I have never seen it so fragrant. Its fragrance drifts far away and smells it for the old man who is bedridden in Shahe Lane behind Shawan Lane.

He called the butler He who was serving, and asked, "What's the fragrance?"

"Old man, this is the fragrance of lotus root. I don't know which house is stewing lotus roots here. The fragrance is really amazing. I often eat lotus roots, but I haven't seen such a strong fragrance of lotus roots."

The housekeeper posted a carefully answer before, saying that the old man hadn't eaten well for many days and was interested in this lotus root. He had to buy some to make it back later.

The old man nodded, well, this nod was just to eat, so the housekeeper turned around and went out to arrange it.

An hour later, the housekeeper brought a bowl of stewed lotus root to the old man.

The old man shook his head and went there without saying a word. It wasn't that smell, so he didn't want to eat it.

But Uncle He was so anxious that he couldn't serve the old master well. One day when the master came back from Shangjing, he would be able to lose his job. What should I do?

Once we have it, let’s ask the family where we bought the lotus root. Just do it like this. The housekeeper was looking for the taste like a dog and arrived at the entrance of Qiaojiayuan.
