There is only one canteen in Chenwangzhuang, opened by a cripple named Cui.

Basically all the daily tobacco and alcohol department stores.

Whenever the villagers in Chenwangzhuang want to buy something, they first go to Cui Laizi's canteen and ask if it is available.

If there is no more, go to the county seat.

When Liu Nier came back from buying cigarettes, Chen Ling was killing fish, and the aroma of pheasant stewed in the casserole was already wafting out.

Wang Jusheng stood by and added two sticks of firewood from time to time, swallowing his saliva quietly.

"Uncle Jusheng, I'll give you a cigarette."

Liu Nier walked over with a flashlight under her arm and handed the cigarette to Wang Jusheng.

Wang Jusheng took the cigarette and suddenly saw the two small sticks in Liu Nier's hands, and he immediately let out a laugh.

"Why did you buy the toffee? Cui Zizi made it at home. It's not worth it. If you want to buy it, you can buy toffee. That one is delicious."

"I bought toffee, two pieces for a dime. I met Xizi on the road and gave it to Xizi."

"This candy is a gift from my lame uncle."

Liu Nier sniffed her nose, stirred the syrup and said.

"Oh, brother Xian, your six little girls are pretty good. You're only so old, and you already know how to give things to the little girl!"

Wang Jusheng laughed when he heard this and couldn't help joking.

Wang Lixian was helping Chen Ling kill fish. Hearing this, he raised his head and glared at Liu Nier.

Liu Nier was most afraid of his father, and was immediately frightened.

"I didn't."

"It was Xizi who was scolded by her aunt again. She didn't dare to go home and was crying outside the door. I saw how pitiful she was, so I gave her all the candies."

Liu Nier said with a blushing face.

"What? Xizi didn't dare to go home after being scolded. It's so dark outside, where is she?"

Chen Ling stood up as soon as he heard this.

He had an impression of Xizi, a little girl who often wore a dirty red cotton-padded jacket and had braids. She was usually timid and did not dare to speak.

Even if Wang Susu compliments her a few times, she is shy and is a very introverted little girl.

"Wealth."

Wang Jusheng stopped him and saw that he was very worried, so he said: "This matter is beyond your control. That family is more unreasonable than anyone else. Don't make you a mess when the time comes."

These words made Chen Ling's face look a little ugly: "Then we can't just ignore it, right? It's so late and the little girl doesn't dare to go home. What should we do if a wolf enters the village?"

Chenwangzhuang is surrounded by mountains on three sides. When there are few prey in spring and winter, wolves often enter the village. This is no joke.

"It's okay. You Xizi and her grandfather are here. The old man is more worried about his granddaughter than you are."

Wang Lixian cleaned the fish in his hands and said without raising his head: "Just listen to Ju Sheng and don't worry about it."

Even Wang Lixian said this, Chen Ling was a little confused.

But he knew there must be something wrong here.

Just as he was wondering, Wang Susu pulled him aside and whispered for a while.

Only then did Chen Ling know what was going on.

It turns out that Xizi is an abandoned child.

He was picked up by Chen Sangui, an old man from the east of the village, and adopted him.

It took a lot of effort to raise this child from the age of two to six.

Chen Sangui already regarded Xizi as his granddaughter.

It just so happened that his son and his daughter-in-law had been married for almost ten years and could not have children.

I just want to adopt Xizi as my daughter.

When Chen Sangui heard this, he was so happy that he couldn't agree.

It's a pity that Chen Sangui's daughter-in-law is not her biological child, and she is a girl. If she does anything not to her liking, Chen Sangui's daughter-in-law will beat or scold her.

Xizi was so frightened all day that he didn't dare to speak too loudly, so he might as well follow Chen Sangui and enjoy the blessings.

But outsiders can't say anything or persuade her, otherwise Chen Sangui's daughter-in-law won't be easy to mess with.

Xiuying's sister-in-law in the north of the village is a well-known good old lady, with a soft heart and a kind heart. When she saw that Xizi was pitiful, she said a few words of justice.

As a result, Chen Sangui's daughter-in-law was so angry that she went crazy. She blocked the door of Xiuying's sister-in-law's house and cursed her for a long time. Chen Sangui's son even threw stones into the well.

Wang Lixian tried to persuade him a few times, but the woman almost scratched his face.

Now outsiders didn't dare to say anything more.

However, it was impossible for Chen Sangui not to know about the situation.

But Xizi was adopted by his son and daughter-in-law, and the formalities were completed. Even if he took Xizi back to live with him, how many days would he be able to live there?

Besides, he is getting older and will only have a few days to earn a living. In the future, he will have to rely on his son and daughter-in-law to support Xizi.

I have no choice but to run to my son's house two or three times a day for fear that my granddaughter will be wronged.

"well……"

Chen Ling sighed, feeling helpless.

Fortunately, Xizi still has his grandfather, Chen Sangui, in charge, otherwise it would be difficult for outsiders to help him with such adoptive parents.

"Uncle Fugui, I told Xizi that I will take her to see the puppies tomorrow..."

Liu Nier said with a smile.

"Okay, come on."

"Come here, uncle will prepare delicious food for you."

Chen Ling smiled again and began to cook the remaining two dishes.

It has to be said that after Chen Ling had Sun Moon Cave, his cooking skills skyrocketed.

Maybe it's because the food in the cave is added to make the rice taste very good, which makes his self-confidence grow day by day.

Not only has the cooking technique improved, but the speed is also very fast.

The braised rabbit meat and sweet and sour carp were cooked in a pot very easily, and the pheasant stewed mushrooms were also stewed and delicious.

As soon as I opened the lid of the casserole, the aroma penetrated directly into my nose.

"Smells so fragrant and rich!"

"Let me have a taste..."

Wang Jusheng swallowed furiously, and his stomach couldn't help but growl.

Liu Nier's mouth was drooling, her nose was twitching, and she chewed the wooden stick used to stir the sugar syrup with teeth marks all over it, as if the wooden stick was a chicken leg.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ling hurriedly greeted everyone to start eating.

"Come here Liu Ni'er, this chicken drumstick belongs to you!"

"It smells so rich! It smells so good!"

"I can't believe that your cooking is so delicious!"

They all ate it happily, but almost everyone in the east end of the village, near Chen Ling's house, was cursing.

It's meal time at this time, my dear, the aroma wafted over and penetrated into my nose, and the thick steamed buns and millet porridge in my hands suddenly lost their aroma.

Damn it, what kind of prodigal son is making stewed meat? It's so fragrant that it will bring out the greedy ones.

Qin Dongmei, her daughter and sister across the street were having dinner together. There were scrambled eggs, green vegetables, and white-flour steamed buns on the table. This was much better than other families.

But after smelling the fragrance, Qin Dongmei immediately knew where the smell came from.

"Eat, eat, eat, this son of a bitch knows how to eat. He keeps getting meat all day long, why don't you just eat him to death!"

"Gurgling."

Chen Ling turned on the light in the yard and placed the steaming casserole on the stone table with a wet cloth.

Pheasant stewed with mushrooms, braised rabbit, sweet and sour carp.

Good guy, not only the fragrance is overflowing, but also the color, fragrance and flavor.

"Brother Xian, use your chopsticks!"

"Drink yours and don't worry about me..."

"Liu Ni'er, come here and get some steamed buns. Eating only meat will make you upset at night."

Eating vegetables, drinking wine, hot meat dishes, and spicy wine all go into the stomach together, which is called a feeling of comfort.

Cool!

"Fugui, give me another steamed bun!"

"Your cooking is so delicious, I want to come to your house every day to eat..."

Wang Jusheng's face turned red from drinking, but he kept using his chopsticks and made four large steamed buns in a row, and asked Chen Ling for more.

Liu Nier was dumbfounded on the sidelines.
Chapter completed!
