Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Little Butler
Hearing this, Xia Yao's face sank, and she was very unhappy.
I don't know what my father wants to say to Fu Yishan, but she is very interested.
Just as she was about to eavesdrop on her quietly, Xia Mu coughed: "Yaoyao, didn't you hear what your father said clearly just now?" He asked you not to disturb them. ”
"Got it. Xia Yao shrugged her shoulders very unhappily and left the house dejectedly.
Since she was not allowed to eavesdrop, she simply went to investigate the events of that night.
Seeing that Chinese New Year's Eve is coming, during this time, Cheng Qingxue and Gu Xingshen will go to the county every few days to sell the coal they dug.
Many people in the county have already used the coal of the Qingxue family to praise it vigorously.
Although they were recognized by everyone, Cheng Qingxue and Gu Xingshen did not sit on the ground and start the price, but sold them at the same price as usual.
In the cowshed, Cheng Qingxue was sitting on a chair counting the family's savings. All this money was earned by selling coal with Gu Xingshen, although it was only a few hundred yuan, but in this era, it was already considered a well-off level.
"Xingshen, come over here. ”
Gu Xingshen, who was busy making lunch, heard Cheng Qingxue's voice, and immediately put down the dishes in his hand and walked in front of Cheng Qingxue. "What's wrong?"
"Here, a total of five hundred yuan, you take it well, the rest, we will go to the county in a few days to buy some items for Chinese New Year's Eve, and have a good New Year." ”
Cheng Qingxue has already planned a lot, this is her first year in this era, and she must not be sloppy.
"Qingxue, you don't have to hand over this money to me, I am very relieved to put it with you. You're my little housekeeper. Gu Xingshen said lightly, he knew in his heart that all this money was earned by Cheng Qingxue. During this time, Cheng Qingxue bought clothes and medicine for the old man, and he had already spent a lot of money, and he would never take the rest.
Seeing that Gu Xingshen's attitude was very tough, Cheng Qingxue didn't want to say anything more.
For a person with backbone like Gu Xingshen, if he talks more, it may be annoying.
"In that case, I'll keep the money. I'll give it to you when I have more money in the future. ”
Recently, getting along with Gu Xingshen, Cheng Qingxue felt that it was very natural, and she was also happy to earn more money for Gu Xingshen.
"Later, more on that later. In order to prevent Cheng Qingxue from saying a few more words, Gu Xingshen hurriedly got up and walked to the kitchen and continued to work on lunch at noon.
Cheng Qingxue glanced at Gu Xingshen helplessly, and said secretly, he is really a stubborn man.
After a while, Gu Xingshen's meal was ready.
At the dinner table, Cheng Qingxue peeked at Gu Xingshen a few times, her high nose, her nose that looked like it had been carved by a knife, and her thin lips made Cheng Qingxue's heart beat faster.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, this strange feeling seemed to be something that had only happened recently, and she seemed to care a little about Gu Xingshen.
Before the crossing, she was single all year round, and although everyone around her suspected that there was something wrong with her, she still hoped that a boy would be able to enter her heart.
Facts have proved that a girl majoring in coal mining will never be actively pursued by a boy.
Until Cheng Qingxue was stoned to death in the coal mining area, she never knew who had a crush on her.
"Ahem. The cough sounded, and Cheng Qingxue, who was deep in thought, came back to her senses at once.
The old man, who had been observing her for a long time, had long seen Cheng Qingxue's strangeness, and he had long known that his grandson was very likable.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Cheng Qingxue looked at the old man with a dull gaze.
The old man's eyes flashed with a smile, and he said lightly: "It's okay, eat." ”
Hearing the sound, Cheng Qingxue's face turned red when she brushed it. She knew that the old man must have seen her peeking at Gu Xingshen just now, so he showed the smile like that just now.
Sure enough, the old people are all human spirits.
After the meal, there was a knock on the door of the cowshed.
Gu Xingshen got up unhappily and opened the door, and when he saw that it was the second dog mother, Gu Xingshen was a little puzzled.
He and Ergou's mother never seem to have crossed paths? Could it be that he came to find Cheng Qingxue?
Thinking of such a possibility, Gu Xingshen hurriedly blocked the door and said lightly: "Ergou, may I ask what you are doing today?"
Ergou's mother sneered and said sharply: "What is the matter with me?" I won't tell you, you go and stop your wife for me, I have something to tell her." ”
The second dog's mother looked impatient, which made Gu Xingshen a little scared.
As early as when he was a child, he heard from Mr. Teach that women in the countryside were the most ferocious and vicious. Whatever words come out of their mouths, they must be prickly.
"Tell me something, I'll tell him in a moment. ”
"The kid surnamed Gu, don't you toast and don't eat and drink, do you understand our women's affairs?"
Cheng Qingxue, who was in the cowshed, heard the noise outside the door and hurriedly walked out.
"Oh, isn't this the second dog, are you here to find me?" Cheng Qingxue greeted him very enthusiastically.
As soon as she walked to the door, Gu Xingshen hurriedly protected her behind her, "Qingxue, don't go any further." ”
The second dog's mother was amused by Gu Xingshen's appearance of protecting the chicks, "Qingxue girl, your family is really good to you, look at the one who protects you, I won't eat you again." ”
Hearing the sound, Cheng Qingxue looked at the hand blocking her chest, and her face turned red as soon as she brushed it. She reached out and patted Gu Xingshen's shoulder, and said shyly: "Xingshen, you go back to the house first, I have something to say to Ergou's mother." ”
"What if she does anything to you? Gu Xingshen was naturally reluctant to let Cheng Qingxue and Ergou's mother outside.
Cheng Qingxue was a little speechless, she glanced at Gu Xingshen with a smirk, "Don't worry, I have a good relationship with Ergou's mother, we have to talk about some private conversations, do you want to listen?"
She still didn't believe that someone as shy as Gu Xingshen would continue to stay when she heard such words.
Sure enough, as soon as her words fell, Gu Xingshen automatically avoided it.
As soon as the second dog's mother saw Gu Xingshen leaving, she hurriedly took Cheng Qingxue's hand and walked to the cowshed.
"Qingxue girl, I want to come and tell you about this matter, Xia Yao came to my house at noon today. She came to ask me who told us that she was with Fu Yishan that day, and I told her that I didn't know, so I just went with everyone. I think Xia Yao must want to take the opportunity to retaliate, you should be careful then. ”
The words of the second dog's mother made Cheng Qingxue a little moved for a while.
She didn't expect Ergou's mother to be so kind, but she had always heard that Ergou's mother was very gossipy, and most of the things in the village were provoked by her gossip mouth.
Now, he was so kind to remind her, and he didn't know if it was good or bad.
The second dog mother on the side saw that Cheng Qingxue didn't speak for a long time, and immediately guessed what Cheng Qingxue was suspicious.
