After sending away the spectators, the Qin family closed the courtyard door and began to collect the wild geese that fell from the sky.

Knowing from Dabao's mouth that the wild goose fell down when Qin Xiaoxiao was talking about wanting to eat meat, the Qin family was not surprised. The little girl has been very greedy for meat in the past few days, and they all saw it.

It's not that I don't want to go to the city to buy pork to satisfy Qin Xiaoxiao's greed, but it's not the New Year or the festival, and everything that should be sold in the fields is sold out, and no one in the village goes to the city.

A few days ago, Qin Shan and Qin Chuan went to the city to work again. It was really dangerous for Mr. Qin to walk alone for two hours on the mountain road to buy meat. Even if Mr. Qin was not afraid, Qin Xiaoxiao would stop him.

go.

The wild goose was too big, with a gross weight of twenty-one kilograms. The Qin family found the largest water basin and reluctantly put it in.

While Mrs. Miao was boiling water, Qin Xiaoxiao pestered Mr. Qin and asked: Grandpa, have you ever eaten wild goose? Is it delicious? It is so big, will the meat be very old?

"Grandpa has never eaten it. I heard it tastes better than goose meat." Mr. Qin couldn't help but laugh when he saw his little granddaughter eager to eat the goose. "The goose is so fat that the meat should not age. You greedy girl."

You can definitely bite it!"

Grandpa, I'm not greedy... Qin Xiaoxiao shook Grandpa's arm coquettishly, and said plausibly: I'm afraid Dahuang can't bite the bones, so I'm asking Dahuang for help!

Dabao and several other children were also there. Seeing what she said, he laughed and called Dhuang over, who was huddled in the corner alone and aggrieved: "Come on, come on, in front of us, you two will confront each other to see who is greedy."

It’s meat.”

"Woof~" Dahuang swung his tail excitedly, thinking that the owner finally had a conscience and was willing to eat the big fat bird.

Just now, when this guy saw the wild goose, a vicious dog pounced on it and bit the wild goose's head. Qin Xiaoxiao grabbed his ears and gave him a severe lesson.

Silly dog, go back and lie down. Qin Xiaoxiao patted the dog's butt to let it continue to reflect, and then complained to Mr. Qin: Grandpa, the eldest brother and the second brother are too bad, they are just greedy for rhubarb!

"Haha~ Yes, it's Rhubarb who is greedy. Let's laugh and laugh, not a greedy girl!" Mr. Qin was amused by his granddaughter, and he followed her wishes and put the pot on Rhubarb's head: "Wait until your grandma is done with the wild geese.

, just give the rhubarb a taste and see if the meat is old or not."

Uh-huh! The little girl nodded happily, and her mouth started to water again: the soup was stewed, it was so good.

Mr. Qin smiled and agreed: "Stew a can of broth and a pot of braised pork so that you can eat enough."

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and narrowed her eyes. Just as she was about to say yes, she waved her hands again and again: One can of soup is enough, but there should be a lot of meat left for the second, second, and third uncles to eat when they come back.

Mr. Qin always knew that his granddaughter was not a solitary eater, and he was still pleased that she was thinking about her three sons: "It's okay, the wild geese have a lot of meat, half of it is enough for them to eat."

He will be fourteen tomorrow. If the third child comes back, he will definitely come back with the eldest and the second child. They are lucky enough to catch up just in time.

After the two large pots of boiling water were boiled, Mr. Qin scalded the wild goose repeatedly, making sure that the wild goose was thoroughly scalded before starting to pluck it. Qin Xiaoxiao also moved a small stool and sat by the basin, holding it in a decent manner.

Pluck one of the goose's legs.

She was weak, and after pulling out a few geese, her hands lost strength, so she sat there and watched Mr. Qin pull them out. Seeing the gray wild geese becoming smooth, white and tender little by little, she began to imagine the taste of the wild geese again.

At this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Mr. Qin thought it was someone who came to see the wild geese, so he asked Dabao to open the door. Unexpectedly, two unexpected people came in: Zhou Baoer and her aunt Zhou.

Zhou Baoer is sixteen years old this year, exactly the same age as Hua'er.

She took after her biological mother in appearance, and she was quite pretty and pleasant. Judging from her appearance, she was a gentle girl, but people familiar with her knew that she was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She never suffered any disadvantages in her life under her stepmother Xiao Miao.

He is not a simple character.

"Uncle, aunt, eldest cousin, second cousin." As soon as she entered the door, Zhou Baoer called people affectionately and respectfully. Those who didn't know it thought that Mr. Qin and Mrs. Miao were her biological uncles and aunts.

"It's Bao'er, you really are a rare visitor! Come on, come in quickly!" Mrs. Miao put away her surprise and greeted Zhou Bao'er and Little Zhou politely.

Mr. Qin was the elder, so he nodded to Zhou Baoer and Little Zhou, and continued to plucking the wild geese. Lin Qiuniang and Zhao Caoer were the same generation as Zhou Baoer, so they called Aunt Zhou and Cousin Zhou, and together with Miao, they greeted them into the house.

sit.

"No, it's spacious in this yard. It's good to just sit and chat." Zhou Baoer took the initiative to take Mrs. Miao's arm and helped her sit down. He was not polite and sat on the chair next to Mrs. Miao.

superior.

"Aunt Zhou, Cousin Zhou." Dabao and the other elders were quite familiar with Zhou Baoer, who came to the house during the holidays, so they politely stepped forward to call her.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt strange to the Zhou aunts and nephews, so she called out to her brothers and sisters, and looked at Zhou Baoer secretly. She always felt that this cousin Zhou looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere.

"Xiaoxiao, come here quickly, don't you remember your cousin?" Zhou Baoer seemed to like Qin Xiaoxiao very much. His eyes lit up when he saw her. He opened a cloth bag he brought with him and took out a pair of exquisite

Little shoes: "I came to pay New Year greetings in the first month of the year, and you still pestered me to praise my shoes for how beautiful they are. No, I made you a pair with exactly the same pattern. Come over and try it!"

Listening to Zhou Baoer's words, something flashed through Qin Xiaoxiao's mind. It seemed that she had indeed seen a pair of beautiful shoes a long time ago. Looking at Zhou Baoer's appearance carefully, she felt that she was indeed familiar with them.

The little girl suddenly felt close to Zhou Baoer, and also liked these bright red shoes with beautiful flowers embroidered on them. She smiled and wanted to come over to take a look, but Lin Qiuniang stopped her: "Cousin Zhou, put it away quickly.

,Such good shoes, don’t let this girl wear them."

"Look what my eldest cousin said, these shoes are specially made for Xiaoxiao, just let her wear them!" Zhou Baoer pretended not to hear Lin Qiuniang's refusal, but still smiled brightly on his face: "This is the first time I've seen her.

When it comes to Xiaoxiao, I really like her. If it weren't for the difference in generation, I would have recognized her as my sister."

With that said, he waved to Qin Xiaoxiao: "Come here quickly, my cousin will try it for you. If it's too small, I'll make a pair for you later."

This time Qin Xiaoxiao did not go over immediately, but looked at her mother first.

Lin Qiuniang nodded helplessly. She couldn't guess why Zhou Baoer would show kindness to her daughter. She could only think that her daughter would do this because she liked her. Fortunately, it was just a pair of shoes, not something expensive, so just accept it.

Once you've done it, just find an opportunity to return the favor.

Qin Xiao smiled and got her mother's consent, and happily came to Zhou Baoer. She curiously stretched out her little hand and touched the beautiful and delicate shoe upper, and her little face was filled with exclamation: These flowers are just like real ones!

Zhou Baoer directly hugged Qin Xiaoxiao onto his lap, and while taking off her shoes, he asked: "Xiaoxiao has forgotten all about my cousin? She actually refused to say a word to her, oh, how are you?"

So sad!"

Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly turned her head and looked at Zhou Bao'er, wanting to explain to her that she couldn't speak for the time being and that she didn't mean to ignore her.

Lin Qiuniang saw her daughter's thoughts and explained to Zhou Baoer with a dark look on her face: "At the end of last month, Xiaoxiao got seriously ill and her throat can no longer make a sound. Cousin Zhou, please don't be offended."

When Zhou Baoer heard this, he lost his voice and said: "Why is this happening? Didn't you ask a doctor to look at it?"

Immediately, she realized that she had asked a nonsense question. Based on the importance the Qin family paid to the little girl, it was impossible not to ask a doctor for her, so before Lin Qiuniang could say anything, she changed her words: "Xiaoxiao is such a good child, God can't bear to part with her."

Let her suffer and she will definitely get better."

By the time I finished speaking, my eyes were already red.

Lin Qiuniang liked hearing such words, and the smile on her face couldn't help but become more genuine: "Good luck to my cousin Chengzhou."

Mr. Qin and others also liked to listen, and did not care whether Zhou Baoer was telling the truth or just trying to deal with people. Their attitude towards her unknowingly became a lot more friendly.

Zhou Baoer wiped the corners of his eyes, touched Qin Xiaoxiao's head with pity, and gently put on new shoes for her. When he found that the size of the shoes was just right, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I made these shoes in the first month of the year. I thought about it for a while.

I didn't have time to come over in a while, so I thought it would be a little bigger, but I didn't expect it to be just right."

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the beautiful new shoes and felt very happy. She even showed it to Mr. Qin and others. After receiving a lot of praise, she jumped up to Zhou Baoer and said: Thank you Aunt Zhou, I like it very much!

Zhou Baoer recognized the shape of her mouth and said with a smile: "As long as you like Xiaoxiao, whatever shoes my cousin makes for me in the future, she will also make a pair of the same shoes for Xiaoxiao."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer this, so he looked to his mother for help.

Lin Qiuniang declined politely: "Cousin Zhou is too polite. This girl has no shortage of shoes to wear. How can I bother you to make them for her?"

Zhou Baoer smiled faintly, and what he said was hard to refuse: "Sister-in-law, I have no other skills, I can only make shoes. Xiaoxiao likes the shoes I make, and I am also happy to make them for her. You don't have to

Be polite to me."

After hearing this, Lin Qiuniang knew that Zhou Baoer was serious about her promise to her daughter. Even if she rejected her kindness, she would still be ready to deliver it to her door. She couldn't help but have a headache because she was not sure about Zhou Baoer's intentions. She suspected that Zhou Baoer wanted to abduct her.

's daughter.

Mr. Qin and others also murmured in their hearts. They could not guess Zhou Baoer's intention of showing good intentions, and couldn't help but suspect that she had bad thoughts towards Qin Xiaoxiao.

Zhao Cao'er was a person who couldn't hold back his words, so he asked directly: "Cousin Zhou, you are here again and you are sending shoes to Xiaoxiao. Is there any happy event?"

Zhou Baoer was stunned, and simply followed her words and confessed the purpose of coming here: "It is indeed a happy occasion. The tenth day of the next month is the day when I go out. I want Xiaoxiao to be my virgin girl."

A virgin who rolled on the bed? The Qin family were all stunned.

The so-called bed rolling is when the bride and groom find two children aged three to six to roll on the wedding bed before they enter the wedding room on the wedding day. The two children can be both boys, or one boy and one girl, depending on the gender of the boy.

Chong Nan still wanted to come up with a good word, mostly for auspiciousness and celebration.

Usually the man is responsible for the bed-rolling process, and the boys and girls he looks for are mostly smart and clever children from relatives and friends. After the bed-rolling, the man also gives the boys and girls generous wedding money. Therefore, whenever someone gets married,

There will definitely be relatives who recommend their own children. If several families are vying to be boys and girls at the same time, they might start fighting.

The Qin family was surprised that Zhou Baoer was getting married. They were shocked that she was not ashamed at all and went home to ask Qin Xiaoxiao to be a virgin. They were surprised that the groom's family would agree. I really didn't know what to say to them.

Zhou Baoer did not explain the reason, but sincerely begged: "Uncle, aunt, eldest cousin, I really like Xiaoxiao, and I hope you can agree to let Xiaoxiao be this bed-rolling virgin."

Mr. Qin looked at Zhou Baoer and refused without hesitation: "It's not appropriate to smile. Find someone else!"

Zhou Baoer looked directly at Mr. Qin and said, "Xiaoxiao is very suitable. I can't find a more suitable child than her."

Mr. Qin put down the wild goose in his hand and reminded in a subtle way: "The affairs of your Zhou family have nothing to do with my Qin family. You don't have to worry about who the Qin family will favor, and there is no need to plot against my granddaughter!"

Zhou Baoer's expression remained unchanged: "Uncle, I didn't lie to you. Xiaoxiao is really attractive. I never thought of plotting against her."

Mr. Qin's eyes darkened, and he was slightly angry: "Go back, I won't agree!"

Zhou Baoer did not move, squatting down and looking at Qin Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, bed rolling is fun, do you want to be a bed rolling girl for your cousin?"

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know what a virgin was and was very curious, but she knew her grandfather would be unhappy if she agreed, so she gently shook her head: Cousin Zhou, I'm sorry~

Zhou Baoer smiled and was not surprised: "It's okay. When my cousin leaves the house, she will be happy to see Xiaoxiao as a gift."

Qin Xiaoxiao stared at the beautiful new shoes on her feet. Without asking the adults' opinions, she nodded to Zhou Baoer: "Okay."

Mr. Qin and others did not want Qin Xiaoxiao to promise anything to Zhou Baoer, but they knew that Qin Xiaoxiao was different from other children. Seeing that she did not agree to be a bed-rolling virgin, they felt relieved and promised her to send Zhou Baoer out.

matter, he acquiesced and had no objection.

Zhou Baoer talked to Qin Xiaoxiao for a while, and then prepared to go back. The Qin family was so disgusted with her that they sent her and little Zhou out without even saying a polite word about leaving a meal.

When they walked away, Lin Qiuniang gently patted her daughter's little hand: "My lord has not agreed to anything, but you agreed happily."

Qin Xiaoxiao touched her little hand that was not hurt by the beating, and said with a pout: Hello Aunt Zhou, I don't want to see her unhappy.

The Qin family did not expect Qin Xiaoxiao to say this, and couldn't help but reflect: Does Zhou Baoer really have no bad intentions?

Little Zhou, who had already reached the entrance of the village, saw no one around and complained: "Bao'er, my aunt is not telling you that you came all the way to please a little mute, but you still want this little mute to get out of here."
