Chapter 85: Can it be whitewashed?
The uncle said that it was arranged by his nephew and daughter-in-law, but he was still not sure, so he went to his grandfather's house and talked to his grandfather.
"Sixth grandfather! There's something! I've got to tell you about it! ”
Grandpa Tai's butt didn't move, sat firmly on the top edge, took a sip of tea, and savored the aftertaste.
"What's the matter? Go ahead! ”
"Hey!" The uncle answered and began to speak, "My nephew and daughter-in-law! I inquired about the scope of the drought, and then I was stunned.
Then, tell us that from today until the end of the drought, we must be frugal and keep the grain for those who have fled the famine.
I'm not at ease! Every time there is a catastrophe, there are homeless people everywhere to make trouble, rob, and kill people, if this is really like my nephew and daughter-in-law said, leaving those homeless people, but it is dangerous! Adults are not afraid, but who doesn't have women and children? ”
Grandpa didn't respond half-loudly, thinking about things there!
Uncle called softly: "Sixth grandfather! ”
Grandpa glanced at Shoufa and said angrily: "I heard what you said, isn't it thinking about what the great-granddaughter-in-law is going to do!" What's the hurry? ”
The uncle rubbed his hands wryly and smiled embarrassedly.
Grandpa Tai said slowly: "If someone really escapes to our remote place, it will be providential, and we can't ignore it."
I just thought about it, if any outcasts do come to us, we have to separate them.
Fortunately, the woods on the other side of the river have grown, and if there are many people, arrange for them to live in the woods, and do not allow them to cross the river, otherwise they will not eat or drink! Our side must also strengthen our precautions to prevent them from having the opportunity to cause trouble. ”
Uncle exclaimed, "Oops! Sixth grandfather, you said the same thing to my niece and daughter-in-law. He said that it was all arranged by God to escape here. ”
Grandpa smiled proudly: "That's!" I'm not old! ”
Uncle finally reassured.
Soybeans are about to start growing beans, and they need a lot of watering, otherwise they will not receive beans.
The waterway irrigation network made by Erya and the vertical and horizontal connection of moso bamboo and water bamboo has been half completed. It is mainly made on the fields bought from the Huang family, and all the east of the drainage ditch is connected, waiting to fill the water into a large row of tanks at the top.
The connections were all sealed with glutinous rice soup and yellow mud, and the water ran down the hollow of the bamboo poles. Flows everywhere. And a thin line of water came out of his little eye.
The connections are all very good, and there are very few water leaks. The eldest uncle and the second uncle looked at it with great novelty.
"Niece and daughter-in-law! You'd really like to! How did you come up with the idea of doing this? It's really water-saving. ”
"Yes! Xiaohu's daughter-in-law is just going to figure things out! Ay! You'll have to ask someone to help water the land over there! ”
The second uncle smiled: "It's not good to invite someone now?!" Big brother, you're here. They're just waiting for my family to get salted fish and share the work with them! ”
"That's not easy, there is no place to put the salted fish. If it weren't for Xiaohu's daughter-in-law to drown the salted fish, I would have given it away, and I used a lot of salt! You can eat wherever you want. "Uncle is really distressed about salt.
Wait until you finish pouring soybeans, peanuts, and sweet potatoes. The town's reservoir began to show its bottom, but fortunately afterward. Not much water is needed.
The river of Erya's mother's house has dried up, and they have no water to water their crops, so they have to get an ox cart to scoop water into the river of Erya Zhuangzi and pull it back.
By the end of October, soybeans, peanuts, and sweet potatoes can be harvested. The creek at the head of their village also dried up.
While the villagers were harvesting the crops, they couldn't bear the panic in their hearts.
The water in Erya's well is also getting less and less. After harvesting the crops, he invited Momoi's master to come back. Give Peach again.
After this time, Erya's well has never dried up.
Although they seized the opportunity to plant crops, the yield was less than two-thirds of the usual.
Because the river was dry, Erya was worried about the future water, so she went to Jiangjun Mountain to check the waterhole she had found before, and whether there was any water.
When I arrived at the mountain, I found that there were people living in the shed where I watched the tea garden.
Er Ya didn't care about him, and went directly to the pool, although the water in the pool was not as full as before, but it could be seen that this is a living spring and will not dry up.
Erya was relieved, if there was no water in the well, he would bring the people of Wangjiazhuang and his relatives to live here or come here to draw water back to eat.
She looked around again, saw no prey, and went straight back.
After the family harvested the crops, the eldest uncle and the second uncle were not at ease when they saw that Xiaohu Daman had not returned.
"O niece and daughter-in-law! Why don't you go to the provincial city of Chen's shopkeeper to inquire, is the road blocked by a desert escape!? ”
Erya is also uneasy in her heart, it stands to reason that she should come back in September, why is it almost November and she hasn't come back yet?
Erya nodded, "Okay!" Uncle Niang will help bring the two children, and I will go over early tomorrow morning to have a look! ”
Lying on the bed on her side at night, looking at the sleeping Wen Yue, Erya felt a deeper resentment towards Xiaohu in her heart.
Since the incident he made trouble, this Wen Yue has often been left behind by her, fortunately, there is still goat's milk to maintain, otherwise this child would not have to follow the little beggar and beg for milk everywhere!
Wen Chao wanted a father before, and he should have a mother tomorrow, but fortunately, there is a horse at home, and it is not difficult to go early and return late.
The next day, as soon as the shopkeeper Chen saw Erya, he opened up with Erya.
Xiaohu's matter has been torn apart again!
"O lady Wang! Xiaohu, you just don't like to hear it, and I have to explain it to you. As for what you want to do with it, it's your own business. ”
Erya still has to give this little face to the shopkeeper Chen, so he smiled and said, "Uncle! I just don't like to listen to it, since you said it, then I have to listen to it! ”
Shopkeeper Chen smiled and narrowed his eyes, "You kid! It will make us old people happy.
What about Xiaohu! There are too many internal affairs, and the two of you probably don't talk much, so it's to the point where you have to live separately now! ”
Erya said in a sneering tone: "Roar! Xiaohu* still has an inside story?! The feeling is that someone took money out of his pocket to help him*!? ”
Shopkeeper Chen pointed his finger at Erya's head from afar: "You, you!" Why do you talk to me with thorns?
But no one took money out of his pocket, and it was indeed his own pleasure. Someone saw it at the time.
I gave your share to Xiaohu that day and asked him to bring it back to you. What about him! I was also going to go back after eating, but I didn't know what the second son was. The two had dinner together, and the second son insisted on taking him to Hualou, saying that there was a big excitement to see that day.
When the bidding began that afternoon, the second son was on the same page as someone else.
Others add him, and he adds it until it reaches 10,000 taels.
Others didn't follow, but he couldn't take out so much money at all, it was just fooling.
He didn't buy it. To hit him. Hualou's thugs also want to beat him, and they are all cleaned up by your little tiger's three punches and two feet.
You say they're gone, but that bad billet is really going to make trouble. even asked Xiaohu to borrow money, took all Xiaohu's money, and gave it to Hualou, saying that it was originally for Xiaohu to buy. Xiaohu is not stupid and does not refute. After being pushed in by the bad billet for a while, he came out and left. The bad billet followed.
The person who saw this qiē at that time. is the eldest son of the prefect's family, he was also invited to the scene with his friends, and saw Xiaohu treating his friends with a knife in his ribs, and his friend still hurt Xiaohu so much. On the one hand, he felt that Xiaohu was sincere, and on the other hand, he felt that he was stupid. ”
Erya interjected: "Even if you are cheated this time, what about the dozen times after that!?" Uncle. You help him to defend it is not clear! ”
Shopkeeper Chen sighed, "Hey! Don't worry! Listen to me slowly!
Afterwards. When the eldest son of the prefect's family accompanied his wife to buy a screen in Xiuzhuang, he saw Xiaohu who had sent something over, so he took the initiative to greet Xiaohu, and left his wife and invited Xiaohu to eat at the restaurant. Since then, the two have become friends.
Every time the eldest son of the prefect's family, when a friend comes to visit, he wants to see the Oiran in the flower building, and as long as the eldest son meets Xiaohu, he will take Xiaohu with him, and Xiaohu will help to reward the silver money without saying a word.
The more times you do, the more familiar you will be! At first, the eldest son of the prefect family still felt that this Oiran was quite responsible, knowing that he was the son of the prefect's family, he did not ask for redemption, but begged a villager, who must have wanted to live a stable life. At that time, he also helped persuade Xiaohu, and Xiaohu did not let go.
Later, when the eldest prince talked to his wife about this, his wife laughed at him for being stupid, saying that the Oiran obviously wanted to plot bigger, so where was his duty?!
The eldest son of the prefect's family is also a smart person, and he understood it after a little thought, and later repeatedly explained to Xiaohu that he would rather give her more silver than redeem himself for that woman.
The woman was afraid that she was also in a hurry, so she would come to such a trick.
The eldest son of the prefect's family, after hearing about Xiaohu, asked the little servant in the family to beat the woman to cripple. It turned out that she had broken her appearance, so she didn't care anymore.
When the eldest of my family went to the government to help Xiaohu make tea, he met the eldest son of the prefect's family. I heard that my eldest knows Xiaohu and knows you,
Knowing that the two of you have made trouble living separately, I blame myself very much, so I must ask my eldest to explain the situation to you.
He said, your little tiger fell into the trap this time, and it was also because the woman was very cunning, and she was always empathetic for Xiaohu's sake, so for Xiaohu and so for Xiaohu.
This time, too, she persuaded Xiaohu to go to the gambling house to see and understand, so as not to be cheated by someone with a heart in the future, and she didn't know.
How do you know that you will lose thousands after just a few hands, and Xiaohu is also in a hurry to win back, so he will gamble more and more.
until it is completely slipped.
Later, when he saw Xiaohu sending fish to the restaurant, he sat down with Xiaohu and chatted, and Xiaohu cried and said to him:
He always thought that the second son of the embroidery village was cheating him, but he couldn't imagine that it was that woman.
When he asked the woman to get the deed back, the woman also falsely said that you took it, and that you had partnered with her maidservant to deceive him!
When he really saw that the servant girl was in town, his brain exploded, and he ran all the way back, trying to confirm with you whether what the woman said was true?
Who knows, this really you off.
Say you kicked him out at the time.
You say, you two were disturbed by such a ruthless, vicious, and lying woman, and you are not at a loss? ”
Erya shook her head and smiled without saying a word. I said in my heart: "I can't wash it in vain!" Since the stain is stained, it is not easy to wash it. ”
Regardless of whether what Shopkeeper Chen said is true or not, I have to thank people for taking such a lot of trouble for the two of them.
After a dull half-sound, Erya raised her head and said to Shopkeeper Chen: "Uncle! Thank you for taking the trouble for us.
I'm here today to ask, has your caravan to the steppe returned? Xiaohu and Daman have not come back, and the family is not at ease! (To be continued)
PS: Hi! I know that it can't be washed, but in order for everyone not to be so hostile to Xiaohu, let's wash it!
People are also poor babies!
Indeed, it is said: in ancient times! The men who marry the crossing women are all poor people!
