Xia Qiyue brought Xuan'er back to her room. The kang was very big, enough for four of their wives to sleep, and there was still room for half of them. Moreover, Xia Xinghe was extremely hot every day, so the three children gathered around Xia Xinghe.
With Qi Qi around, I couldn't sleep for a while.
When Ke'er saw her brother coming over, she jumped up and down happily to sleep together.
"Do you want to hear a story?" Xia Qiyue looked at the happy expressions of the brothers and sisters, and was afraid that Ling'er would think too much, so she quickly asked the three of them.
"I want to hear..." The three of them said in unison, and then they all looked at Xia Qiyue.
"Anyone who wants to hear the story, please lie down quickly and cover yourself with a quilt! No more talking!"
So the three children scrambled to lie down on the bed. Ling'er and Ke'er shared a bed. The two little girls were particularly close and slept on the east side of Xia Qiyue. Xuan'er's bedding was spread out by Xia Qiyue.
To the west, she sleeps in the middle.
After the three children lay down obediently, she racked her brains and began to tell them stories, such as Snow White, Thumbelina, Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf. She told several fairy tales before coaxing the three children to sleep.
The fairy tales were novel and had never been heard before, so the three children were not sleepy for a while. This made Xia Qiyue think over the stories she knew.
The children fell asleep at noon, so she got up and blew out the candles, put the pillow under the quilt to disguise herself, and then entered the space.
The space is still in a crowded state. The fields are piled with grain, including 25,000 kilograms of rice and 10,000 kilograms of wheat. There are still 1,600 kilograms of rice in the fields. This crop has been harvested.
The space can also be upgraded.
Xia Qiyue first fed the chickens, then tidied up the space, squeezed sugar for a while, then went to harvest the rice and quickly planted another crop.
The space has entered an upgraded state and the big screen has gone dark. Xia Qiyue left the space and slept peacefully.
She was waiting for the space upgrade to give her a surprise. She was very tired this day, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Everyone had gone to sleep, the small courtyard was quiet, and the horses in the backyard didn't make a sound. But in this quietness, there was some movement outside the courtyard wall.
"Xiao Wu, please slow down! Can't you move more gently?" A low-pitched middle-aged man's voice sounded. At the same time, with a bang, the man named Xiao Wu kicked the bamboo stool at the door of the courtyard.
fall down.
"I asked you to keep your voice down! What are you doing?" The man before was so angry that he flew into a rage and slapped Xiao Wu on the head.
"Second brother! Give me a tap, I'm so dumb!" Xiao Wu jumped up and shouted.
"Lao Er Lao Wu, can you two be quiet? Have you forgotten what we are here for?" There was a voice behind him, and it was the voice of Xiao Qi among the group.
It turned out that these people were bandits from nearby mountains. With the recent refugee infestation, they couldn't grab anything at all. In desperation, the boss asked them to come down and do other things to make a living.
In other words, you use people's money to eliminate disasters for others. As long as the money is in place, you can burn, kill, loot, and steal them, but you have to have that ability.
"Shut up!" the boss who came over to claim that he was the thief warned sternly, and then the quarrels of several brothers were suppressed.
"Go ahead and open the courtyard door. Let's go in through the main entrance!" the boss ordered again.
So the second child, the fifth child, and the seventh child began to open the courtyard door.
These few people took over Wang Ji's job after they volunteered that they were very confident in stealing.
Wang Ji's people said that they don't need to steal any gold, silver or jewelry, they only need to steal a secret recipe, which is the secret recipe for making halva.
They looked across at Li Ji, who saw that business had been booming in the past few days because of the crispy candy. People whose business was already bleak took this crispy candy as a life-saving straw and had to get it.
He didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to find these bandits to steal it. If he stole it, he would be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver.
The three of them soon opened the courtyard door, and the second child asked the eldest brother to invite him in, acting as casually as if he were inviting guests to his home.
After the four people entered, the courtyard door was not even closed, it was just wide open, and they began to search.
In fact, Xia Qiyue woke up after the bamboo stool fell down at the entrance of the courtyard, but listening to the loud and unprofessional discussions of the professional thieves outside, she immediately didn't want to go out.
Just wait for them in the house and see what they want to do.
She put all the nougat she had made in the afternoon into the space. There were only some rice, flour, grains, oils, and a little vegetable and meat outside. There were just peanuts and chopped peanuts, and nothing else.
The four people did not disappoint her, and walked towards her making little noise all the way.
"Brother, that's the kitchen over there. There's no secret recipe! But there's a lot of polished rice and noodles, all white. Why don't we take them back! My sister-in-law happens to be pregnant, so she can replenish her health!"
The boss of Tiger Village, who was called Big Brother, was moved, but then he thought about it and slapped the old fifth man on the head who spoke.
"Idiot, when I find the secret recipe, I have one hundred taels of silver, what can I buy?"
Lao Wu, who was slapped on the head again for no reason, muttered in grievance and did not dare to pick up anything in the kitchen.
"Boss, there is no secret recipe in the west wing, only peanuts!" Lao Qi continued.
"Boss, we can't enter those two rooms!" The second brother pointed to Xia Jiuyue and Xia Xinghe's rooms.
At this time, everyone was standing outside Xia Qiyue's room talking, as if they were in a deserted place, speaking casually.
Xia Xinghe was awakened by the sound, and An Zihao was also awakened and watched Xia Xinghe get up.
"Xinghe, get the stick!"
Xia Xinghe is lying if he is not afraid at this moment, but he has to go out. If these people get in, the reputation of his two sisters will not be preserved.
So, I put on my clothes, picked up the wooden stick in the corner, and opened the door.
At this time, the four people who were discussing how to open the summer room in July all turned around when they heard the sound of opening the door.
"Boss...Boss, the door to the room is open!"
Lao Wu stammered.
"Nonsense! Didn't I know the door was open?" The boss slapped Lao Wu on the head again.
Lao Wu...
"Who are you? Why did you break into our house in the middle of the night?" Xia Xinghe pointed the wooden stick at the four of them and asked viciously.
When Xia Qiyue heard her brother's voice, she didn't dare to listen to the joke anymore. She was afraid that her brother would be beaten by these brainless people, so she quickly opened the door.
"They're here to steal the secret recipe!"
"Yes! Stealing the secret recipe... ah? How did you know?" Lao Wu answered Xia Qiyue's words, and belatedly realized that the door to the room behind him opened and the people inside were talking.
"Hahaha...Lao Wu, you idiot, haha..." Lao Er laughed regardless of his appearance, making fun of Lao Wu for not realizing that the door behind him opened.
The eldest son and the seventh son were so angry that they were so angry that these two idiots could be so stupid after being caught stealing. If they had known that these two were so stupid, they should have brought the third and sixth sons out.
,Incompetent bungler!
"Guys, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up? It's quite cold out here!"
