Chapter 294 1 Favors
I invited everyone to dinner today, and there were indeed a lot of bones on the table.
After they were collected, they all went into Hu Zi's stomach, making his belly full.
"Si Ya is awesome! Come and help Third Sister pick snails."
"it is good."
A year later, Zhou Minghua had grown taller, spoke more fluently, and could do many simple tasks.
Last year he didn’t know how to pick snails, but now he is as nimble as a little adult.
After Hu Zi knew what they were picking up, he also sniffed around the river.
There were not many snails in the shallow water near the shore, so Zhou Mingshu had to go into the water to turn over the stones.
There were many snails under the stone. She handed the stone to Zhou Minghua on the shore and asked the little girl to pick them out bit by bit.
"Remember to get a bigger one, not a smaller one."
"Got it~"
The two sisters cooperated very well. Zhou Mingshu went into the water to look for stones. Those with more stones were brought to the shore for Zhou Minghua to pick off, while those with less stones were picked off by herself.
After working for a while, the small basket was half full.
"That's enough, this is enough to eat."
Zhou Mingshu put the basket into the river and rubbed it back and forth twice to wash off the floating mud on the snails.
Then the two men and the dog took the things and went home.
Pull out the basin and pour the snails into it.
"It came out so quickly, and there are quite a few."
"Yes, soak it for two days before eating."
Zhou Mingshu took a knife from the kitchen and put it in the basin.
After a while, the snails climbed up with their tentacles raised.
Qi Xu happened to come out of her room and saw two people squatting beside the basin, so he walked over.
"Three girls, four girls, what are you looking at?"
"Brother Qi Xu, we are looking at the snail blade."
Qi Xu took a look and it was indeed true.
"Where did you pick it up? To feed the chickens?"
"It's not for feeding the chickens. We cook and eat. It's in the creek behind the house."
"We eat it?! Can we eat this?"
It was the first time that Qi Xu knew this thing was edible.
"Of course you can eat it. We have eaten it many times. It is delicious."
Zhou Minghua replied with a pout.
"Okay, okay, then let me have a taste and let me open my eyes. If it tastes good, we'll go catch more."
"How is General Qi?" Zhou Mingshu asked.
"He's asleep, don't worry."
Zhou Mingshu nodded after hearing this. "Qi Xu, you and this Mr. Qi both have the surname Qi, so aren't you brothers?"
I heard that this Lord Qi is from the lineage of General Qi and is a very remarkable person.
"Uh... No, if it was our family, would I still be brothers with Brother Zhou? Wouldn't I have become a high-ranking official long ago?"
After hearing this, Zhou Mingshu also felt that this was the case. Compared with that Lord Qi, Qi Xu had many differences, and even their appearances were not similar.
Lord Qi was very thin and had a small face. His eyebrows were strong and his eyes were like an eagle's. They were really creepy.
The Qi Xu in front of him was different. He had a baby face and his eyes were curved when he smiled, as warm as the spring breeze.
"It's better if he's not from the family. If he is a brother from the family, I'm afraid it would be hard for the younger brother to have such a serious elder brother."
"Hey, you really got it right... Well, what I mean is that I also had an older brother before, and life as a younger brother was really hard. You had to act according to your older brother's mood."
Zhou Mingshu smiled and said that this was almost always the case in families with brothers and sisters.
Older and older brothers always arrange for their younger siblings to help them do something, and this is even more so in modern times!
Qi Xu was afraid of being exposed if he said too much, so he rolled up his arms and went to help Uncle Liu Qing and the others pluck the duck feathers.
Although Qi Rui was drunk, his political literacy and physical fitness after so many years of service as a soldier and officer enabled him to wake up quickly from his sleep.
He pinched the corners of his eyes and let out a breath of foul air.
The air is full of the smell of alcohol!
Only then did he realize that he was really drunk, and quite drunk.
Pulling back the quilt and standing up, he discovered whose room he was sleeping in.
The scent of flowers and trees between the pillow and quilt seemed to still linger in my nose, but it had been almost completely obscured by the smell of alcohol.
Looking through the window, he noticed that the sun had already set.
It looks like I have slept for at least two hours.
Looking up, he saw an exquisite desk.
There were several makeup boxes, wooden combs and hair bands, as well as some potted plants and small fish...
It's quite exquisite and looks like a little girl's room.
Looking at the neatly arranged pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, he knew that he must have slept in the room of the little girl with bangs.
He tapped his forehead, his mind still a little fuzzy, but much better than before.
After opening the door, Rufeng quickly came to his side.
"Sir, how do you feel?"
"It's okay. Where are Lord Xue and Magistrate Niu?"
"They went to supervise after dinner, so they must be on their way back now."
"I wonder if they can drink so much? We should go back now."
Before leaving, Old Lady Zhou forced him to drink a bowl of sobering soup, fearing that he would get dizzy on the road and fall off the horse.
Qi Rui lowered his eyes, took the bowl and drank it.
I was already rude by getting drunk and messing up things, so I shouldn't refuse the old lady's kindness no matter what.
Before getting on the horse, Qi Rui looked back to say goodbye to Old Lady Zhou, and also looked at the girl named Zhou Mingshu.
He was drunk and stayed in someone else's room today...
I owe her a favor and I will definitely repay her in the future.
Seeing that everyone had left, Zhou Mingshu ran towards his room.
Looking at the clean bed and floor, she finally let go of her worries.
Apart from some lingering smell of alcohol in the air, there was no difference from before.
Zhou Mingqi, who followed closely, slapped her in the face.
"Hey, this Lord Qi is okay. He drank so much and didn't vomit. We have been worried for so long in vain. But there is still some smell of alcohol, which I am afraid will not go away for a while."
The window was open, so even if there was wind, the smell would slowly dissipate.
"It's good that you didn't vomit. Let's worry about what to eat tonight."
"I see you picked up a lot of snails today. How about frying some snail meat? I haven't eaten it for a long time and I'm dying of cravings..."
Zhou Mingqi shook his sister's arm and puffed out his cheeks in a coquettish manner.
"Haha, okay, whoever wants to eat it can go and pry the snail meat out!"
"Okay, I'll do it. I'll just eat more then."
Qi Xu stood by the wall and listened to the two of them finish their discussion before he followed.
He didn't mean to eavesdrop on them. He just saw them running fast and was curious so he followed them. Dazhi was following behind him, so he didn't feel embarrassed.
However, he didn't expect that his second brother, who was always so majestic and handsome, would be disliked by the two little girls.
He made me worry for the whole afternoon whether he would vomit or not. Hahahaha, I really made him laugh so hard that his teeth fell out.
"Come on, let's go pluck the duck feathers. We can't finish today's work."
Zhou Mingzhi pulled Qi Xu towards the duck stall.
