Qingyin asked worriedly, "Are there really any strangers around your house recently?"

Of course she remembered Aunt Wu.

After all, she was seven years old when she left that place, and she could remember a lot of things.

Mian Hong laughed, "Well, that's just nonsense, of course."

Qingyin shook her head helplessly. "You're so bold! What will you do if she goes to the county government to sue you?"

"Oh...Ayin, I'm so scared. How about I sleep at your house tonight?"

As he said that, he reached out and held Qingyin's arm. It seemed that he was really scared.

Qingyin's mouth twitched.

If I wasn't too familiar with this person, I would have been fooled by her weak and frightened look.

Before she could say anything, Xie Jin came around the corner and said in a calm tone, "Sister, if you agree, Butcher Hu will be crying in the corner again in the middle of the night."

As soon as these words were spoken, both of them thought of the incident that happened years ago.

Coincidentally, Mianhong was supposed to go to her place for a meal that day, but soon after the meal, it started to rain.

The two of them drank some wine, and Mianhong simply stayed at her place.

The next morning, they discovered that Hu the butcher had come at some point and had actually slept in the corner all night.

Although Mianhong scolded him, she could see that Hu the butcher was happy.

After that, although Mianhong came again, she would always go home no matter how late it was.

And every time the door was opened, Hu the butcher would put on a scary face and smile foolishly.

Mianhong glared at Xie Jin in dissatisfaction, "I slept at Ayin's place today, so what, what..."

When it comes to the grievances between her and Xie Jin, there are so many that it’s hard to finish talking about them.

At that time, when Xie Jin was first brought back by Ayin, he was thin and small.

Just like when she met Ayin.

So she felt compassion.

I heated up the porridge that I didn’t finish in the morning and gave it to him.

I didn't expect that not only did he not eat it, he also knocked it over.

From then on, she knew that she could not get along well with this person.

Xie Jin glanced coldly at the hand holding Qingyin's arm, then naturally took the basket from Qingyin's hand and asked softly: "Do you need to buy any other vegetables?"

Qingyin then noticed that it was getting late. She patted Hongmian and asked, "Let's go back together for dinner?"

Mianhong was about to agree and get angry at Xie Jin, but when she saw that Hu the butcher who had just been standing there was gone, she reacted and took the man to the government office.

He could only shake his head and say, "I'm not going today. The dead man is not here. I have to help watch over him for a while. Otherwise, the meat will be taken away by others. I will be heartbroken."

Qingyin thought so too, and then she took a look at the meat. Seeing that there seemed to be a piece of pork belly that was neither too big nor too small, she pointed and said, "Then I'll take this piece back today."

"Where's the elbow?"

Qingyin shook her head, "Next time."

Although Mian Hong was disgusted, she still wrapped the hoof of the elbow with a handkerchief and threw it into Xie Jin's basket at a very fast speed. "Isn't there someone here? Otherwise, the knife at home is not convenient, so take this butcher knife with you."

Qingyin was about to refuse, but Xie Jin said quickly: "Thank you, Sister Mianhong."

Mianhong: “…”

Every time this guy calls me sister, he starts to act pretentiously.

Sure enough,

Xie Jin continued, "Sister, look at Sister Mianhong. Has she gained some weight recently? It seems like marrying a butcher has its advantages. She used to be so dark, but now she's gained weight and her skin has become whiter."

Qingyin: “…”

This guy stabbed the aorta specifically!

From the moment Mian Hong heard the first word "fat", her eyebrows trembled. By the second word, she couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed the butcher knife to chop Xie Jin.

Xie Jin also commented seriously: "Look, Sister, Sister Mianhong's posture of holding the butcher knife is also very skilled. She is known as the Tofu Xishi. I think Sister Mianhong also has..."

Of course, he didn't finish the rest of his words because his mouth was covered by Qingyin.

Seeing Mian Hong about to run out with a knife and chop Xie Jin, she bent her eyebrows and put on a flattering smile, "He is still young, and we as sisters should be more accommodating to him."

Mian Hong snorted, "It's always like this, just indulge him."

Knowing that Mianhong's anger had subsided, she still kept a straight face and gently scolded him, "Don't say anything you just said again, okay?"

Xie Jin blinked.

Qingyin then realized that her hand was still covering his mouth, and she quickly let go.

The thin lips that caught her eye were light pink, the nose was high, and the pair of peach blossom eyes were staring at her intently.

Qingyin Weizheng was almost mesmerized by the sight, "What's wrong?"

Seeing the frankness in the woman's eyes, Xie Jin felt inexplicably depressed.

He took a step back and said calmly, "Go back."

Qingyin quickly waved to Mianhong, "Then let's go back. If Butcher Hu comes back early, you can come and eat with us."

Mianhong waved her hand, indicating that she would not go today.

Qingyin and Lu Jin were originally walking one in front and one behind, but gradually they started walking side by side.

Although the sun was quite strong, half of the alley was not exposed to the sun.

Lu Jin walked outside, watching the sun beat down on him. Qingyin said with concern, "Walk ahead of me."

Lu Jin turned sideways and looked at Qingyin, a faint smile on his lips. "I haven't had time to bask in the sun at the academy recently. This is just right."

Only then did Qingyin notice that Lu Jin's skin seemed to have become even whiter. His already fair skin now glowed faintly in the sunlight.

It is undeniable that Lu Jin has excellent looks.

Therefore, even though they have different surnames, everyone thinks they are blood-related siblings.

Because good-looking people all come from the same family.

Thinking of this, Qingyin suddenly curled her lips.

Xie Jin saw her suddenly smile and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Qingyin shook her head, "Nothing, just a little happy."

It was a strange sentence, and Xie Jin didn't pursue the matter further.

When they returned home, Qingyin pushed Xie Jin into the house and asked him to read carefully.

When Xie Jin didn't move, Qingyin couldn't push it anymore. She muttered, "Why can't I push it anymore?"

Xie Jin turned his head to look at Qingyin who was looking down, "I'll help you take care of your elbow and then come back to read."

"No! You haven't read much this morning. Although the teacher said you are a good student, even the best student needs to study hard." Qingyin refused.

"But the teacher also said that we should combine work and rest." Xie Jin turned around and looked directly at Qingyin.

The person he used to look up to and rely on, now he found out was so petite.

With just a gentle embrace, the person can be completely pressed into his arms.

Let him do whatever he wants...

"Ajin?" Qingyin asked worriedly when she saw him suddenly standing there in a daze.

Lu Jin regained his composure and reached out to rub Qingyin's head. "Now that I'm grown up, you can try to rely on me for some things, such as this pork elbow."
