Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 1028 Twenty-seven · Hold on

   When it came to this topic, the old Suntou and his wife looked at each other, a little scared and vigilant, and stopped talking.

Grandma Sun sighed and shook her head: "Hey, what's the use of asking these? It's all fate, our family has been unlucky for so many years, as long as life goes on, we two immortals can barely raise our children. , it's worthy of my son and daughter-in-law."

Grandma Sun looked sadly at the child holding the hen, tears in her eyes, she hurriedly took her sleeve to wipe the tears, forced everyone to drink water with a smile, and then hurriedly wiped her hand on the apron: " For today’s matter, I really have to thank you benefactors, the poor family has nothing to entertain you, so stay for dinner today!”

  The rank among the natives is much stronger than that of the wealthy Han people. You can tell just by looking at the Mufu. Now Laozhang’s family is obviously deeply rooted.

  Otherwise, Senator Yang would embezzle the pension money, which is already a way of not giving people a way to live, but when Lao Zhang and the others mentioned it, although it was not without resentment, they still forcibly suppressed it, and they planned to calm down. You can see that.

   Originally, he didn't plan to stay longer, but Xiao Heng and Cui Daru whispered a few words, and Xiao Heng smiled and said to Grandma Sun, "Then I will trouble Grandma."

   Grandma Sun hurriedly waved her hand: "In the backcountry, there is nothing good, and it's just plain food. It's good that all benefactors don't dislike it."

   Everyone naturally said no, so Granny Sun and Lao Zhang went into the kitchen to cook.

  Liao Jingxu had endured it for a long time, and took advantage of this moment to lower his voice and ask Xiao Heng: "Your Highness, did you have any plans for the residence of those officers when you asked them just now?"

Senator Yang is insatiable. This kind of behavior is obviously not one or two times, but has already formed a habit. The scary thing is that this matter must not be done by Senator Yang alone, and must collude with other native nobles. , otherwise, the sound of the wind would have leaked out long ago.

   Xiao Heng is this plan, even the pot?

Xiao Heng glanced at Liao Jingxu: "Master Liao also saw it, the natives suffered deeply, and the court has grace, but how could these graces really fall on the natives? Therefore, the grace of the imperial court only fattened Yang Yang. It's just such a stupid and poisonous person! This is also the source of chaos in Yunnan. In the future, these second-order traffickers will no longer be needed. They have been drinking blood and eating meat until now, and they should pay it back!"

   These short two sentences, but they are straight to the point, they are the reason, even Liao Jingxu can't say anything else, so he nodded.

Cui Daru whispered about the surrounding villages again: "If these villages, like Lao Zhang's situation, can all be united, then, with so many people, some of them will know about the Weisuo. , and besides, their sons and brothers may be soldiers in the guardhouse.”

   A single spark can start a prairie fire!

   It's just that Lao Zhang and the others are obviously very afraid of Senate Yang meeting them. How to make them put down their concerns is also a problem.

   Everyone discussed it for a while, and unknowingly it was getting late, Sun Lao Zhang wiped off his sweat and warmly greeted Xiao Heng and the others to go in for dinner.

There was a tattered Eight Immortals table in the room, and there was a piece of wood under the foot of the table. There were not so many stools, only three stools. The old grandson was very embarrassed and said repeatedly: "The family is poor, I really want everyone to be kind. The public is wronged"

   He was really embarrassed and embarrassed.

   Everyone was very upset when they saw it. Even Liao Jingxu didn't mean to dislike it at all, but just shook his head ashamedly: "Old man, don't say that, it's already good."

Everyone gathered around and saw that there were already two dishes on the table, one was stir-fried mushrooms, which is a specialty of the mountains in Yunnan, and the other was stir-fried bacon with green garlic, so we knew that this must have brought out all the bacon from the Chinese New Year. Xiao Heng sighed in his heart, suppressed the unbearableness in his heart, smiled and said to Lao Zhang Sun, "It's really rich, I'm hungry just looking at it."

  Lao Zhang Sun was originally very disturbed, but when he heard him say that, he was busy setting up his chopsticks: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

   Xiao Heng took a bite of the mushroom, his eyes lit up: "Fresh!"

   Everyone also praised.

   As she was talking, Grandma Sun carefully brought up an iron pot, placed it on the table with the help of Old Master Sun, and reached out to lift the lid of the pot.

   A strong and fresh fragrance spread immediately, and there was a yellow and clear soup, and there were also Cordyceps mushrooms floating in the soup.

   Xiao Heng's expression changed.

   Everyone else was silent for a while.

   The chicken in this pot is obviously the one the child was holding just now.

  The child himself knows that this chicken is the chicken that lays eggs at home and cannot be killed.

   But in order to entertain them, Sun Lao's husband and wife still killed them.

  Liao Jingxu, who has been an official for a long time, can't help but feel sad at this moment: "Old man, why did you kill the chicken?"

   Mr. Sun rubbed the back of his head honestly: "There's nothing to entertain, the old lady is good at stewing soup! All benefactors, drink up, drink some soup, this soup is delicious!"

   Cui Daru sighed in his heart, but he still reached out and filled a bowl of soup, and praised with a smile: "It's really delicious! It's delicious!"

Xiao Heng silently found an excuse to come out and walked around outside. He saw the child squatting on the ground under the old peach tree outside the fence. He couldn't help but walk over to squat down and gently touched the child's head. .

   The child sobbed and looked at Xiao Heng with a crying voice and milky voice: "Big brother, I'm not reluctant to give up chickens, you are good people, you saved me, it's right to kill chickens for you to eat."

   That's why he silently ran outside to watch the chicken feathers all over the place? Xiao Heng felt very uncomfortable, his throat was sore, and he asked him after a while, "Did you miss Dad?"

  The child fiddled with the chicken feathers on the ground helplessly, tears falling on the back of his hands, he whispered: "Think."

   Xiao Heng fell silent, buried the chicken feathers in the soil with him, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I'll buy you a lot of chickens in a few days." He asked him what his name was.

"My name is Taodan." Taodan pursed her lips, wanted to cry but held back, and shook her head firmly: "No, you saved me, if we can't entertain you, grandpa and mother-in-law will be very sad. "

   Such a young child, but his words are so mature and sensible, Xiao Heng stared into his eyes: "Why don't you cry?"

   He was clearly so sad, even looking at his back, he felt sad.

   Taodan pursed her lips, her bright eyes dropped, she opened it again and looked at Xiao Heng seriously, and suddenly said, "I'm holding back."

  I wanted to cry, but I held it back.

   At that moment, Xiao Heng's feelings were indescribable.
