Chapter 69: Give you a chance to be my good sister.
"You are really my brother!" Xie Ying confirmed her identity as a "disciple".
Xiumei immediately let go of her hand.
Xie Ying came forward and helped Xie Jue up.
He had a clear face with bright brows, but now there were a few weeds and mud marks on it, and he looked more embarrassed than dignified.
"Brother, you...why are you here?" Xie Ying asked.
"Didn't Mom tell you that I would be coming in the next few days?" Xie Jue asked.
"I told you, but I didn't say today. Why don't you go home first if you are here? Why are you here following us?" Xie Ying asked.
Xie Jue was about to cry but had no tears: "I went home, and my mother said you were out. When I heard that you didn't have many people with you, I felt uneasy and wanted to come over and have a look." "Come and see why
I left a good mountain road Why don't you leave and come from the mountain?"
"I knew you were going to come to the other courtyard, so I came here in advance. I came early and you hadn't come yet, and I happened to see a beautiful yellow plant blooming on the mountain over there, so I thought I went to pick it up and bring it to you. After picking it, I walked back. Who would have thought..."
Who would have thought that there was a super skilled maid next to my sister, who gave him a critical blow.
Wei Ruo saw a few yellow lily-shaped flowers falling on the ground in front of Xie Jue. They should be the ones Xie Jue had just picked to give to his sister. It looked like they were day lilies.
If there are many, you can pick them off and dry them in the heart. They are great for stir-frying or making soup!
Xie Jue's eyes fell on Wei Ruo. Although the person who took action was her maid, she was the one who ordered the action!
Feeling Xie Jue's gaze, Wei Ruo explained: "Mr. Xie, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Xie Ying's brother, and I thought you were a disciple who wanted to do harm to me and Ying'er." "You are probably my sister
. That very special Miss Wei who I often mention in letters, right?" Although today is the first time we meet, thanks to his sister, Xie Jue has already admired Wei Ruo for a long time.
Because of his sister's description, Xie Jue was still a little curious about this young lady from the Wei family who rarely caught his sister's eye.
When I saw him today, I didn't notice anything else special about him, but this beating was very special.
"Brother, this matter today is purely your own fault. You can't blame anyone else." Xie Ying thought that her brother was going to anger Wei Ruo, so she quickly stood up to support Wei Ruo.
"Who do you think I am, your brother, that I would argue with you girls over such a trivial matter?" Xie Jue said.
"What happened to our girl's family? You were responsible for the fault in the first place, so why do you think we are the girl's family?" Xie Ying was unhappy.
"It's my fault. My brother said the wrong thing. Don't be angry." Xie Jue apologized quickly.
"Huh, that's more like it." Xie Ying forgave Xie Jue, turned around and pulled Wei Ruo towards the other courtyard, leaving Xie Jue far behind.
"Sister, why don't you wait for me?"
"Men and women are not intimate. I have a beautiful woman here who is as beautiful as a flower. I must protect her and I can't let you ruin her reputation." When
Xie Ying answered, she was already He took Wei Ruo out and walked far away.
Xie Jue sighed helplessly: Now his status in his sister's mind has been reduced!
Xie Ying and Wei Ruo faced Yue Qiqiao in the courtyard of the other courtyard.
The moon is very round and the sky is high with few clouds.
After finishing the ceremony of the Qiao Qiao Festival, they sat in the courtyard and admired the moon and ate the Qiao fruits brought by Wei Ruo.
"The fruit you made is quite delicious." Xie Ying commented.
Then I remembered the dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato chips that Wei Ruo gave me when we first met.
Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: "You seem to be quite good at making snacks." "Not only snacks, my Mei Mei is very clever and can make a lot of delicious ones." "Bring more to me next time, and I'll give it to my
brother Give it a try too." Xie Ying said.
"No problem." Wei Ruo agreed, "By the way, where is your brother?"
"He must be outside. You wouldn't have come in so rudely with him. You have already been rude once. If you are rude again, I, as a sister, will not be able to stand it anymore." Xie Ying said.
"Then ask someone to bring some of these sweet fruits to him to eat. Just think of it as apology for beating him up just now." Wei Ruodao.
"Okay, after a beating, you can still get so many delicious food, which is an advantage for him." Xie Ying said as she handed the bag of Qiaoguo given to her by Wei Ruo to the maid.
"You brother and sister have such a good relationship." Wei Ruo commented. Only if you have a good relationship, a sister would complain about her brother like this.
"I can't help it. He is my brother. I would like to have a sister, but my mother didn't give one to me." Xie Ying thought of something and added, "Of course I would like a sister like yours." I don't want it, I'm annoyed by it."
Wei Ruo smiled.
Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo and continued: "If you are as smart as you, I can think about it." "I can also think about it.
After all, you have a straightforward personality. I don't need to bother guessing what you said." Wei Ruo also did not hide his love for Xie Ying.
"That's right! This lady has never followed others' pretentious behavior. If you like it, you just like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. There's nothing to pretend!" Xie Ying said proudly.
After saying that, Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo and asked her, "Besides growing vegetables and flowers, what else do you like to do?" "You
like to make money, make a lot of money." Wei Ruo replied.
"What do you want so much money for?" Xie Ying asked.
"I don't know, but who would be dissatisfied with the lack of money? The same goes for food. The more the better. In case, I mean, if there is a famine, only by having food can you ensure that you will not starve to death." Wei Ruodao.
"Yes, I heard from my mother that the grain harvest in Xingshan County this year is expected to be very poor. Many families are thinking of ways to buy grain from other places in advance." Xie Ying said helplessly.
"The price of purchasing grain from other places is definitely high, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it." Wei Ruo commented.
Originally, ordinary people worked hard for a year and counted on a good harvest in the autumn. They saved enough food for next year and used the excess to exchange for some money and buy other things.
If there is not enough food, where is the money to buy things?
"Ruo'er, fortunately you opened up wasteland in the south of the city. If that batch of rice can grow, the situation will be much better." Xie Ying couldn't help but sigh.
"The wasteland in the south of the city will not be able to keep up with this year's late rice crop once it is planted. We can only grow some seasonal vegetables such as rapeseed and broad beans. The food is still far from enough. You can remind your mother later and ask her to get more food if she can. Come to Xingshan County." Wei Ruodao.
"Okay, I'll tell my mother when I get back." Xie Ying agreed.
Seeing that Xie Ying was still looking at him, Wei Ruo asked, "Why are you looking at me again?" "
I said Wei Ruo, are we good friends now?" Xie Ying asked.
"Probably."
"What do you mean, yes or no means no. Hurry up, I'll give you a chance to be my good sister, Xie Ying. Do you agree or not?" Xie Ying said with a serious expression and a domineering tone. .
