Chapter 69 Give you a chance to be my good sister
"It's really my brother!" Xie Ying confirmed the identity of "Deng Tuzi".
Xiumei let go of her hand immediately.
Xie Ying stepped forward and helped Xie Jue up.
A clear and handsome face, with clear eyebrows, but at this time there are a few weeds and mud marks on it, not enough noble, more than embarrassing.
"Brother, you... why are you here?" Xie Ying asked.
"Didn't Mother tell you that I would come in a few days?" Xie Jue asked.
"I said it, but I didn't say today, and why didn't you go home first when you came, and why did you come to follow us?" Xie Ying asked.
Xie Jue wanted to cry but had no tears: "I went home, and my mother said that you were out. When I heard that you didn't bring many people with you, I was worried, so I wanted to come and have a look."
"Come and see why I don't go on a good mountain road, but come from the mountain?"
"I knew you guys were going to come to the other courtyard, so I came here ahead of time. It was too early and you haven't come yet. I just happened to see a beautiful yellow plant blooming on the mountain over there, so I wanted to pick it for you. After picking it Going back, who would have thought of..."
Unexpectedly, there was a super skilled maid beside 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 that Xie Jue picked just now to give to his sister. It looks like daylilies.
If there are too many, you can pick them off and dry them in the sun. It is very good for frying or cooking soup!
Xie Jue's eyes fell on Wei Ruo. Although the person who did it was her maid, she was the one who ordered it!
Feeling Xie Jue's gaze, Wei Ruo explained: "Mr. Xie, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were Xie Ying's brother. I thought it was Deng Tuzi who wanted to harm Ying'er and me."
"You are probably the very special Miss Wei family that my sister often mentions in letters?" Although today is the first time we meet, but thanks to his own sister, Xie Jue has already admired Wei Ruo's name 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 eyes.
When we met today, I didn't notice anything special, but this beating was very special.
"Brother, today's matter is entirely your fault, but you can't blame anyone else." Xie Ying thought that her brother was going to blame Wei Ruo, so she quickly stood up to support Wei Ruo.
"What kind of person do you think I am as your brother, and I will argue with your girls because of such a trivial matter." Xie Jue said.
"What's wrong with our girl's family? It's your own fault, why are you saying that we are a girl's family?" Xie Ying was not happy.
"It's my brother's fault. My brother said the wrong thing, don't be angry." Xie Jue quickly apologized.
"Hmph, that's about the same." Xie Ying forgave Xie Jue, turned around and pulled Wei Ruo towards the other courtyard, leaving Xie Jue far behind.
"Sister, why didn't you wait for me?"
"Men and women don't know each other. I have a beautiful woman here who is as beautiful as a flower. She must be protected. I can't let you ruin her reputation."
When Xie Ying answered, she had already dragged Wei Ruo far away.
Xie Jue sighed helplessly: Now his status in the eyes of his sister has dropped a bit!
Xie Ying and Wei Ruo faced Yue Qiqiao in the courtyard of the other courtyard.
The moon is very round, the sky is high and the clouds are thin.
After finishing the Qiqiao Festival ceremony, they sat in the courtyard to enjoy the moon and eat the Qiaoguo brought by Wei Ruo.
"Your Qiaoguo is delicious." Xie Ying commented.
Then I remembered the dried sweet potato and sweet potato chips that Wei Ruo gave when we first met.
Xie Ying asked Wei Ruo: "You seem to be good at making snacks."
"It's not just snacks, my Meimei is ingenious and can make a lot of delicious ones."
"Bring me more next time, I'll give my brother a taste too." Xie Ying said.
"No problem." Wei Ruo agreed, "By the way, what about your brother?"
"He must be outside. You wouldn't be so rude to come in when he was here. You have been rude once before. If you are rude to me, a younger sister, I won't be able to stand it anymore." Xie Ying said.
"Then let someone bring some of these clever fruits to him to eat, and treat it as my apology for hitting him just now." Wei Ruo said.
"Okay, after a beating, he can still get so much delicious food, which is cheaper for him." Xie Ying said while handing the Qiaoguo bag that Wei Ruo gave her to the maid.
"You brothers and sisters have such a good relationship." Wei Ruo commented, only when the relationship is good, can a younger sister complain about her elder brother like this.
"No way, who told him to be my brother. I really want a sister or younger sister, but my mother didn't give me one." Xie Ying said, thinking of something, and added, "Of course a sister like yours would be my brother." I don't want it, it annoys me."
Wei Ruo smiled.
Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo, and continued: "If I'm 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 to guess what you have to say." Wei Ruo didn't hide his liking for Xie Ying.
"That's right! This lady never pretends to others. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. There is nothing to pretend!" Xie Ying said proudly.
After finishing speaking, Xie Ying looked at Wei Ruo and asked her, "Apart from growing vegetables and flowers, what else do you like to do?"
"I like to make money, 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 think that money is too little? There is also food. More is better. In case, I mean, in case of famine, there is food to ensure that you will not starve to death." Wei Ruo said.
"Yes, I heard from my mother that the grain harvest in Xingshan County is expected to be poor this year, and many people are trying to find ways to buy grain from other places in advance." Xie Ying said helplessly.
"The price of buying grain from other places must be high, and ordinary people can't afford it at all." Wei Ruo commented.
Originally, ordinary people, after a year of busy work, counted on a good autumn harvest, saved enough food for next year, and exchanged the surplus for some silver and bought other things.
If there is not enough food, how can there be money to buy things.
"Ruo'er, it's a good thing 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 sighed.
"The wasteland in the south of the city will not be able to catch up with this year's late rice after it is opened. 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 Ruo said.
"Okay, I'll talk to my mother when I get back." Xie Ying agreed without hesitation.
Seeing that Xie Ying was still looking at him, Wei Ruo asked, "What are you looking at me for?"
"I said Wei Ruo, are we good friends now?" Xie Ying asked.
"Probably so."
"What is probably, yes or no, hurry up, I will give you a chance to be Xie Ying's good sister, do you agree or not?" Xie Ying said domineeringly with a serious expression.
