Chapter 212 The silly old lady
"You can live with Madam Xiao, but you are not allowed to make noise at night and you are not allowed to eat too much."
"Also, you can't eat sweets before going to bed. Be careful with your little teeth." Mrs. Feng scratched the girl's nose.
Little Nuobao has a very sweet mouth. At this moment, he shrank his little neck, giggled, and naturally agreed to everything.
"Okay, okay, I listen to you!"
But as soon as they arrived at Xianquanju, Little Nuobao immediately became a wild horse, and he had long forgotten his mother's instructions, and started to "gluttonize" with Madam Xiao!
On the table, the donkey huo bao was still hot, and the halved pork and halved vegetables also had a sweet and spicy taste.
After taking a bite of the huo bao, Little Nuobao wanted to eat another bite of the halved pork. His little mouth was greasy, and he shouted that it was delicious and satisfying.
When she was eating to her heart's content, she couldn't help but flutter her little feet, and Old Lady Xiao saw everything.
On weekdays, Mrs. Xiao was weak and had a small appetite, so she could never eat with Old Lady Xiao.
Now, seeing that someone could accompany her to feast, Old Lady Xiao couldn't help but have a big appetite and ate especially happily.
"This is how you should eat. Eating hard is a great blessing in life!" Old Lady Xiao slapped her thigh and sighed.
Not far away in the sleeping basket, Yuan Jie'er smelled the fragrance and waved her little hands in a frenzy.
It was a pity that she could only drink milk now. Mrs. Xiao smiled and couldn't bear to see her being fed any more, so she took her to another room to feed her goat's milk.
At night, the warm moonlight shines through the curtains into the house, casting a hazy image.
Mrs. Xiao drank the sleeping potion, helped Old Lady Xiao wash her feet, and then went to bed early.
Old Lady Xiao faced the moonlight, took out the snacks bought by the servants, climbed onto the kang, and smiled at Little Nuobao with her white teeth.
There was no oil lamp in the room, so Little Nuobao couldn't see clearly, but after touching it with his little hands, he happily went straight to Old Lady Xiao's arms.
"Ah! This is winter melon candy, Grandma Xiao, Nuobao loves winter melon candy!" Old
Mrs. Xiao whispered, "There are also spicy dried tofu and pine nut candy. We are not in a hurry to go to bed tonight, let's have a snack first!"
Because of her age, Mrs. Xiao often watched her and didn't let her eat too many sweet, spicy and greasy things before going to bed.
When Nuobao was at home, she was always controlled by her mother when she ate candy at night.
Now, the old and the young are together, and while Mrs. Xiao is sleeping, they can hold these snacks and "do bad things" together.
The two of them are also "black around ink", and they finished a bag of spicy dried tofu and more than 20 pieces of sugar beans in one night!
When Mrs. Xiao got up early the next morning, she felt something poking her calf. When she
took it out and looked at it, it turned out to be two pieces of pine nut candy stuck together.
Mrs. Xiao rubbed her eyes, and after making sure she had not seen it wrong, she looked at Old Lady Xiao suspiciously. Old
Lady Xiao had woken up a long time ago. She caught a glimpse of her daughter-in-law's eyes from
the corner of her eye, and quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. After staring at her trembling eyelashes for a while, Mrs. Xiao whispered: "Mom? You are awake, right? Did you eat pine nut candy again last night?" "Pine
nut what?" Old Lady Xiao yawned, pretending to be awake and didn't understand.
"Pine nut candy~"
"What kind of paper candy?" The old man continued to play dumb.
"Pine nut candy!"
"What kind of candy?" Another question.
"Relax..." Mrs. Xiao was helpless and simply turned the page: "No, it's okay, you can sleep a little longer, I'll ask the maid to get some water for washing your face, and you and Nuobao can use it directly when you wake up."
"By the way, why don't you let the maid clean your ears, it will make your ears feel much more comfortable and you will be able to hear things more clearly." Mrs. Xiao looked sincere.
As soon as she left the room, little Nuobao couldn't hold it anymore, his little face turned red, and he curled up in Mrs. Xiao's arms and kicked his legs for joy.
Mrs. Xiao hugged little Nuobao, laughing so hard that her chest was shaking, and tears were about to come out of her eyes.
"We must have kicked the candy last night and spilled it into Wanjun's quilt. We have to pick it up later, otherwise she will definitely blame me if she sees it again."
Mrs. Xiao said, and then she got up and searched everywhere, finally finding five or six "slipped fish" and put them all back into the candy bag.
Under the careful service of the Xiao family's maid, Xiao Nuobao quickly washed her round face, tied a fresh double bun, and went home happily to show her mother.
Recently, the coastal areas have entered the peak season for shellfish and other seafood, and many foreign fishermen have come to Yuncheng to sell these everywhere.
Yesterday, Jiang Fengnian picked some fresh food to buy, and Li Qiqiao made a pot of clam soup and clam egg pancakes, which made Xiao Nuobao almost drop his eyebrows.
After eating and drinking, the carriage had not been used for long, so Xiao Nuobao pulled Fengnian again: "Big pot, let's go into the city again, buy some more clams for Grandma Xiao and the others, and go to the government office on the way."
"Government office?" Jiang Fengnian asked, and he answered easily.
Nowadays, the government office is no longer the powerful place for the Jiang family, "the gate faces south, and you can't enter without money."
It is just like a street market or a shop. The Jiang family not only does not have to be afraid, but will be welcomed respectfully.
Xiao Nuobao wants to go to the government office because he wants to ask Tian Zhixian to do something important.
Now, although she has helped Mrs. Xiao to punish the evil man named Fang who threatened her and her mother-in-law, the minions sent by the Fang family are unaware of the suffering of their master. They
still wander around the village entrance from time to time.
Little Nuobao knew that Mrs. Xiao was afraid of being discovered by Xiao Lanyi, so she went to do it herself. When she arrived at the yamen, she patted Tian Zhixian on the shoulder.
Tian Zhixian was startled and shuddered.
"Nu, Nuobao? You are here?" Tian Zhixian's eyes were full of awe.
"These days, there are rascals from other places who have been wandering around Dalui Village. Lord Tian Zhixian, do you want to help Nuobao take them away?" Little Nuobao asked with a smile.
Tian Zhixian's shoulders trembled, and he nodded and bowed quickly: "Where did these hooligans come from? Don't worry, I will send people to arrest them and put them all in jail!"
Xiao Nuobao nodded his head with satisfaction.
When riding the carriage back to the village, halfway through, he saw those hooligans being beaten by the yamen runners.
Xiao Nuobao felt very comfortable. At this moment, she had done almost everything she could for Mrs. Xiao.
It's just that the karma between Madam Xiao and the Fang family is too deep, and the matter between them will eventually have to be settled face to face.
I just don't know if Madam Xiao can bear it by then...
Nuobao was thinking so, and at this time, they were almost at the doorstep of their home.
Jiang Fengnian tightened the reins and was about to stop the carriage when he saw Li Zheng of Qingquan Village, the village chief of Xishan Village and Zhang Fanjian standing not far away.
They were holding several packages of peach cakes, sugar cakes and other coarse gifts in their hands, and it was obvious that they had something to ask for.
"Nuobao is back!"
Zhang Fanjian's eyes lit up, and he bent over and trotted over.
"There is a major matter in our villages that concerns whether the villagers can have enough food to eat next year. I want to ask you a favor!" Zhang Fanjian looked at little Nuobao flatteringly.
