Xia Ziying nodded, then walked to the edge of the house and found a place to stand. When Du Junniang saw this, she scolded her son, "Jun'er, hurry up and pour tea for the girl. A grown man's wife is hiding in the kitchen.
do what."
Du Jun was scolded and walked out angrily, smiled sheepishly at Xia Ziying, then walked over and poured a cup of tea from the table, "What are you doing standing there? Come and sit down quickly.
I know you're tired. Hurry up." Then she pointed to the stool on the side. Xia Ziying walked over with a smile and sat down.
Du Junniang followed behind and took out the prepared food and put it on the table, "Girl, you must be very hungry. Come and try our food. There is nothing to entertain you, so just put it first."
Just eat something, and I will get you something delicious in the evening." He said with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, ma'am. There's no need to worry. I'm not picky about food. I'll eat whatever you eat." Xia Ziying said sheepishly.
"Haha, how can this be done? You are a guest in our house. Why can't we let you eat well? Let's not talk about it for now. I will bring out the last lotus seed soup!" Du Jun's mother said and walked into the kitchen. Du Jun
He smiled awkwardly and said, "We only have these things at home, so they are a bit shabby. I'm really sorry."
"Mr. Du, you are out of touch when you say this. You rescued me. It's already very good to save a life. What else do you want? This is already very good. It smells good.
It's delicious." Xia Ziying had a look of joy on her face, and she felt so happy when she saw the earthy-colored and fragrant local dishes.
Seeing Xia Ziying talking like this, Du Jun smiled happily. At this time, Du Jun's mother came out with lotus seed soup. As soon as she came out, she said: "I just heard that Jun'er saved you. What happened?
Ah, Jun'er, hurry up and tell me where you picked up such a beautiful girl." As he spoke, he pushed the lotus seed soup in the direction of Xia Ziying with a smile on his face.
"Mom, look what you said, the girl is also a poor person. When she was collecting medicine in the mountains, she met a strong man who wanted to molest her. When she was struggling, she fell from the cliff and fell on the road in the forest.
In the river, thanks to me collecting wild fruits on the mountain, I rescued her, and you still made fun of her." Du Jun looked unhappy, as if his mother had said the wrong thing.
"Mr. Du, don't talk like that. I can tell that my aunt likes me very much from the bottom of her heart. She just asked jokingly, how could you talk like that."
interjected.
"Haha, girl, my Jun'er has this temper. I'm used to it, so don't worry about it." Du Junniang smiled bitterly, looked at her son, and explained to Xia Ziying.
Hearing Xia Ziying talking to his mother, Du Jun's already shy face turned even redder. Du Jun's mother saw it and smiled happily while holding her rice bowl. Her son was about to reach his thirties, but he still hadn't gotten married yet.
, this became a stone in her heart. Now suddenly a sister Lin fell from the sky and hit her precious son directly. It was such a fate. She was overjoyed. She quickly picked up vegetables for Xia Ziying and said with a charming smile:
"Eat quickly and eat more. These are the specialties of our Xigu Village. You can't eat them anywhere else outside of here." After saying that, he put some food on Xia Ziying's plate and gave the bowl to her in no time.
Filled up.
Xia Ziying wanted to refuse, but when she saw how enthusiastic she was, she felt embarrassed to refuse, so she kept gently pushing her away and thanking her non-stop.
"Mom, that's it. You've filled the bowl. How can you let the girl eat it?" Du Jun was stunned. He was slightly angry when he saw it. His own mother was really full like this. I don't know how serious it is.
He kept picking up the food, it wasn't that he didn't understand his mother's thoughts, but he had just met the girl, so he didn't hesitate to inquire about her first, and she was so enthusiastic from the beginning, which seemed to have a purpose.
Seeing that Du Jun said that the bowl was already full, Du Jun's wife said a little embarrassedly: "Hey, look at my eyes, you didn't even see it. Okay, stop filling it and eat quickly!"
Xia Ziying smiled foolishly. It was great that Du Jun had such a fun mother. It was quite fun to see the mother and son like this. She immediately picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating. Not to mention, this game from the countryside
It is unmatched in the city. The food is fresh and authentic. It is not greasy at all and the more you eat, the more delicious it becomes. Xia Ziying was addicted to it and ate two bowls of rice in a row for a long time.
, she was full, and she put down the bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction. At this time, she noticed that Du Jun and his mother were secretly watching her from time to time. After taking a look, it turned out that they didn't even have a bowl of rice.
After eating, I had already destroyed two bowls. I was a little embarrassed to see this. In fact, I didn’t eat much when I was in the palace. Maybe I was really hungry today, and the food was delicious.
Yes, I didn’t control it and actually ate so much.
"Sorry, I seem a little hungry today." Xia Ziying said with an embarrassed smile.
"Haha, girl, good job. The more you eat, the more you can work and the longer you will grow. As a woman, it is a good thing to be able to eat. Having children will make you look good." Du Junniang said with a smile.
Xia Ziying blushed as soon as she finished saying this. She didn't expect her mother to talk about having children. Although she was from the 21st century, she was still unmarried and had no experience, so she naturally blushed a little after hearing this.
"Mom, what are you talking about? Hurry up and eat!" Du Jun said dissatisfiedly. As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Ziying secretly, making her blush. He also felt a little embarrassed. But his mother
She looked indifferent and continued to eat happily. Suddenly she seemed to have remembered something and asked Xia Ziying: "Girl, Jun'er just told me that you fell down the mountain, and I don't know what happened to you."
Name, what’s your name?”
Xia Ziying leaned over and said, "My daughter's name is Xia Ziying, you can call me Xiao Xia!" This easy-going sentence made both Du Jun and her son feel warm.
Du Jun on the other side was still muttering, "Xia Ziying, what a good name." Looking at his formal expression, he asked curiously, "Master Du, have you ever read a book?" As soon as he said this, he also
Without waiting for Du Jun's answer, Du Jun's mother stood up first, put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, and said: "Haha, Miss Xiao Xia, you asked the right question. My son looks like a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken.
In the early years, he had been studying, and he had read a lot of the Four Books and the Five Classics since he was a child. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. He took the exams for several years without getting any honors, so he had no choice but to return home and read in his free time.
, I will go and take the exam when it starts. I hope that the emperor will live up to his wishes, and I, Jun'er, will be able to go to high school one day." When he said this, he slowly clasped his hands together, as if he was praying.
Xia Ziying raised her head and glanced at Du Jun, who was scratching his head and cheeks looking very uncomfortable. In the 21st century, Xia Ziying had already heard that ancient people liked to read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly. There was a big exam every few years, and she became famous after passing the exam.
Thousands of people, but there is only one champion, and there are tens of thousands of candidates in counties and cities across the country, so every year there are countless people coming and going, and Du Jun is just one of them. This
It was a tragedy caused by feudal society. They were just victims of this system. Thinking of this, I not only sympathized with him psychologically, but seeing his handsome face and elegance in his words and deeds, I was helpless.
, was born in this small mountain village, he had to slowly adapt. No wonder when he came back, some people saw some disdain on his face. Although most of the eyes were still attracted to him in the end, it was difficult to hide it.
That clumsy look.
"Believe that God will not disappoint those who are thoughtful. There will be opportunities. Believe in yourself." Xia Ziying had no other choice but to comfort her slightly. Even she felt a little false when she said it, but it was better to say it than not to say it at all.
Yes, after all, this matter cannot be forced. If he is lucky, he may be in high school in the next exam. Then he will return to his hometown in glory, and his chickens and dogs will ascend to heaven. Then these people cannot underestimate him.
"Well, thank you, Miss Xia, for your comfort. I have failed so many times. I can only blame it on my poor academic skills and lack of knowledge. I will work harder in the future!" Although Du Jun did not belittle himself, you could see that he still had something in his heart.
Extremely helpless.
After eating, Xia Ziying was about to help Du Jun's mother pack her things, but Du Jun's mother quickly stopped her, "Xiao Xia, don't be too busy. I'm not familiar with you when I first came here, so let our Jun'er take you out and wait for you."
If you feel better, you can come and help me again. I'll do all this work alone, and you young people can go and have fun." After saying that, he took the bowl from Xia Ziying's hand.
After cleaning up, he saw that Du Jun and Xia Ziying were still stunned, so he shouted, "Jun'er, why are you still standing? Why don't you leave quickly and take Miss Xia around to enjoy the scenery of our ancient village?"
"
"Well, okay." Du Jun agreed awkwardly, and then walked out. Xia Ziying looked at Du Jun's mother and saw her smiling and waving her hands, "Go quickly!" She nodded and went out.
Du Jun walked in front, and Xia Ziying followed behind. She didn't know where Du Jun was going to take her, so she just followed and walked for a while until she came to the edge of a small river. Du Jun finally stopped, and the sky
The sun was still shining, so Du Jun called her to a shady place.
When I came under the shade of a tree, I felt a hint of coolness. I looked at the turbulent river in front of me. The river was rushing unscrupulously into the distance, and the raspberries it aroused spread far away.
"How is it here? Is it beautiful?" Du Jun kept looking at the place where the water splashed, "It's quite beautiful." Xia Ziying also looked towards the river in the distance, and the splashing water looked very happy.
Feeling, but one can't help but feel something in his heart.
