The autumn weather gradually turned cooler, and the young man tightened his thin clothes and sat by the river to cool down, but he still did not wait for the beautiful shadow.

A group of young women and girls by the river were chattering, looking at the young man in the distance and laughing sneeringly.

The bold girl took the initiative to talk, "Little brother of the He family, I heard that your arm was injured, why did you get up early in the morning to study?" ”

Seeing that it was the little daughter-in-law who had just married into the village, He Houxue's face had a blush of shame, "I...... You can't slack off, it's okay if your hand hurts your brain. He looked left and right, but still couldn't see that figure, and couldn't help but wonder secretly.

It is said that the people in the village are washing clothes here, why haven't I seen her for two days?

Shen Kangshi walked over with a large basin of clothes, and someone hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law of the Shen family, come here, there is a vacant seat here." ”

As soon as He Houxue saw Shen Kang's coming, he listened with his ears.

Women like to get together and talk about gossip, Shen Kangshi just squatted down, and someone was surprised when they saw the clothes in her basin.

"Why have you washed so many clothes, and I see that these clothes are not all yours." Someone watched her take out a set of lake-blue shirts, and said strangely: "Isn't this a child's clothes, it's the clothes of the child named Zhiyuan in your family, right?" "There are really few children in the village who have elegant names, and the women also talk about it as a novelty.

"I heard that the kid started reading before he was five years old? Is it real reading or fake? I heard that Lin Xiao is still a talented girl who reads and writes? The woman who said this was clearly skeptical.

Shen Kangshi is not an idle person, so he let out an unclear "um" and didn't say much.

Someone dragged the woman and said: "The Shen family's sister-in-law's clothes are Lin Xiao's them, you don't haven't seen it, when did you see Lin Xiao and they came to wash the clothes, they are the eldest lady's life, they don't do anything by themselves, and the Shen family's sister-in-law also burns the kang for them." ”

"Why?" Some people were not convinced, "She is young, why is she bullying people?" She also gave Shen Kangshi an idea, "Don't get used to her problems, I haven't heard of serving people in renting a house." ”

Shen Kang didn't like to say much, but seeing that they misunderstood Lin Xiao, he hurriedly explained: "People didn't let me work in vain, they gave me silver." ”

Silver?

The women's eyes immediately lit up, and their eyes were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred when they looked at Shen Kang's eyes.

"Yo, there is still silver, the sister-in-law of the Shen family has a good life, and there will be silver if you wash your clothes and burn a kang at home." These words are sour, and they are very different from just now.

This person is like this, if the big guy is poor together, she herself is a little better, and she has a little superiority. Once someone's family suddenly has a better life, they will be envious, jealous and hateful. The village is also in a special situation in the family, and the family is a lifter, and they will not and dare not be jealous.

But the Shen family's life has always been unsatisfactory, and the women are used to finding a sense of superiority in Shen Kang's family, and as soon as they heard that she could earn money at home, this mentality immediately changed.

Shen Kangshi also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "It's not that I give it directly, it's that I cook for them, and Lin Xiao and them will give us food to eat together, so that the family can save some food." ”

The women seemed relieved. Someone still said sourly: "That's okay, just wash two clothes to cook or something, and save the family's rations, this Lin Xiao is really generous." "Why didn't you do this good thing?

Shen Kang's washing clothes is low, and his movements are fast.

Next time you go out early, stagger these people. Or just go a little further.

The river water in late autumn was biting cold, and after a while, Shen Kang's hands were red from the cold, she took out her hand and sighed, gritted her teeth and continued to wash.

The women gossip and gossip, and the cold river sailor turned red after a while, and the bones were itchy and uncomfortable when he couldn't bear it, but these hard-working women were not impatient, and still washed carefully, day after day.

He Houxue sat for a while, recognized Lin Xiao's black clothes in the clothes that Shen Kang had washed, and left silently.

Someone saw it and wondered, "Why doesn't this He family read books?" ”

Shen Kang's gaze fell on the black clothes in his hand, thoughtful.

The autumn wind was blowing, Lin Xiao tightened his clothes, and looked at the ox cart of the Zhang family slowly leaving in the distance, Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows.

The fact that the father and daughter of the Zhang butcher moved out of Black Bear Ridge was not a punishment from the villagers, but a voluntary one, so there was less punishment for the board.

Li Zheng was furious this time, the son who had high hopes in the family was almost abolished his right hand, He Wennian, who had always liked to be with the mud, was about to go crazy, and even the only person in the village was alarmed, and in the end, the father and daughter of the Zhang family took the initiative to move out of the village.

Lin Xiao didn't have anything for this result, but just proposed to let the Zhang family pay for the Shen family's wooden door, who asked him to kick it.

Faced with the two hundred dollars sent by the Zhang family, the Shen family accepted it tremblingly, and they were scared enough.

Lin Xiao laughed at them for being timid, and simply asked the people from the hunting team to help open another wooden door, but this time she didn't invite Li Da.

"Master, do you think I have enough grass?" Little Guy came with a small basket full of all kinds of weeds. The copper hammer sent a litter of rabbits early this morning, and there were four of them, and the little one said that he would not be allowed to eat them, so he raised them.

Lin Xiao said that it was okay to raise rabbits, and he would keep them for him if he raised them himself, so he brought the little guy to the side of the mountain to cut the grass. But looking at his basket of weeds, Lin Xiao shook his head, and he didn't know that there were several kinds of rabbits that would eat.

"Almost, let's go back." Zhang's departure did not cause any ripples in the village, except that his house was a three-room stone house, and the quality was better than most of the houses in the village. Lin Xiao originally wanted to buy it, but after thinking about it, it was better to build it by himself, he could completely fit the house he wanted, and he would be comfortable to live in.

The house of the Zhang butcher family was finally sold to the He brothers, which can be regarded as compensation for the Li Zheng family.

As soon as I entered the village, I saw a young man in the distance holding a scroll and reading it while walking.

Lin Xiao looked at the sun above his head, and then at the young man in white.

It's really sassy.

The loess on the ground is not afraid of getting his clothes dirty, and he is really a nerd, and he is still a sullen nerd.

I overheard someone say that Lin Xiao had gone up the mountain, He Houxue had been standing here for more than an hour, and now when he saw Lin Xiao, the whole person was full of joy.

"You're back?" He excitedly greeted him, saw the mushrooms in Lin Xiao's basket, and said in surprise: "You still know these, you are really talented." ”

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes speechlessly, how could he think that this guy was sarcastic about himself?

Xiao Bu said triumphantly: "I have too much." "But there's talent.

Lin Xiao and He Houxue: "......" never thought that there would be people picking up praise in these years. (To be continued.) )
