After lunch, Shen Qiao excused himself to be tired and went back to the house to sleep. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou muttered: "If you eat this, you will sleep, and you will not be afraid of accumulating food." Is this child sick? β
Gu Xuan happened to hear it on the side, so he smiled and comforted: "Auntie, Qiaoqiao is not sick, it's just that she can't sleep in a bed elsewhere, she left early this morning, and the carriage was bumpy all the way, so she has no energy, and when she sleeps, she will definitely come to the spirit." β
"That's right, Qiaoqiao doesn't like to sleep in other places, before returning to Qianxian County, she rarely goes out of the house, I was worried before, afraid that she would get sick, but seeing that she likes to move around more and more, my heart is also relaxed. Ah Xuan, you and Ah Wang must be tired, you all go and rest, and when it's time for dinner, I'll call you again. β
As Zhou spoke, he thought that Gu Xuan and Ah Wang also rushed back early in the morning, so they urged the two of them.
In the end, Ngawang, who was going to help wash the dishes, was also driven to sleep, and Zhou cleaned up the house alone.
Then prepare the ingredients for the evening.
After doing this, she continued to cultivate her soil in her yard.
Shen Qiao slept for a whole afternoon, and she didn't even have a dream, and even Gu Xuan's words just now didn't disturb her from sleeping.
She slept well, and her head was more awake than before.
When I went out of the room, I didn't feel embarrassed to meet Gu Xuan.
"Jojo, have you slept well?"
When Shen Qiao went out, he saw Gu Xuan and Ah Wang carrying water to the field reclaimed by the Zhou family, Gu Xuan saw Shen Qiao coming out, so he asked with a smile.
"Alright. What about my mother? β
Shen Qiao glanced around, didn't see Zhou, and asked.
"Auntie went next door, let you wake up and call her, dinner is ready."
Gu Xuan said.
"Oh, okay."
Shen Qiao agreed, then went to the kitchen to get a basin, saw that there was still hot water in the pot, took a handkerchief and washed his face, and then went to the next door to call Zhou.
Xu is really tired in the past two days, she obviously slept after eating, and she woke up feeling a little hungry again.
After Shen Qiao walked out of the courtyard gate, Ah Wang asked, "Master, are you really planning to marry Miss Shen?" β
"That's still fake! How? You stinky boy have an opinion? β
Gu Xuan looked at Ngawang Dao.
"No, no. The slave thinks that the master and Miss Shen are talented and beautiful, talented and beautiful, a pair made in heaven! β
Ngawang waved his hand hurriedly.
"Hey, you're too fake! When did you and I become talented? β
Gu Xuan kicked Ah Wang.
Ngawang smiled and said, "Master, if you have a talent, the slave must know." Those people in the capital don't know your ability, and when you show it, you will definitely be blinded. β
"Your horse-beating skills are getting better and better!"
Gu Xuan smiled and said without denying it.
"Hehe, the minion didn't make a fool of himself, what he said was what the minion said in his heart, and it was definitely not a lie."
Ngawang was very serious and assured.
"Alright, don't patronize the horses! Qiao Qiao went to call the eldest lady, and he will definitely be back soon, you go to the kitchen and bring all the dishes to the table, serve the meal, and wait. β
Gu Xuan looked at the opposite side, Shen Qiao and Zhou Shizhen and the old lady of the Yuan family next door, Lin Shi, walked out laughing, so he instructed Ah Wang.
"Okay! Master, go and rest! β
Ngawang lifted the two buckets aside and went into the kitchen.
As soon as the meal was set, Shen Qiao and Zhou came in.
After the four of them finished eating, Ah Wang rushed to wash the dishes, and Zhou asked Shen Qiao to take Gu Xuan to the village for a walk.
Now the Zhou family is not afraid of others talking nonsense, anyway, the people in Taiping Village think that Gu Xuan is Shen Qiao's fiancΓ©, and they also think that Gu Xuan will be in trouble.
Zhou didn't explain, anyway, she only planned to live in Taiping Village until the end of the year, and even if Gu Xuan left, she didn't get into trouble or marry Shen Qiao as those people said, and she was not afraid that other people's gossip would hurt Shen Qiao.
Because, at most, at the end of the year, their mother and daughter will leave.
To be exact, it was Shen Qiao who would leave, and she would not leave.
Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan walked slowly in the village.
Some villagers wanted to come forward to talk, but seeing that Shen Qiao didn't want to speak, they didn't dare to step forward.
In fact, Shen Qiao just had a serious expression when he didn't meet an acquaintance, and he didn't want to speak.
As for Gu Xuan, he looked like a playboy brother, and those villagers didn't dare to step forward.
Therefore, the two of them were also quiet along the way.
"Hey, Qiaoqiao, look, that's a merchant!"
Walking to the entrance of the village, Gu Xuan pointed to a merchant carrying a burden in front of him.
"Yes, I heard Qingyan from the house next door say that every few days in Taiping Village, there will be merchants who pick up things to sell, presumably this is to close the stall and go home."
Shen Qiao also looked at the merchant.
"Tsk, this merchant estimates that business is not good."
Gu Xuan pursed his lips and said.
"I think so. The steps were a bit heavy, but the courage was great, the contents were definitely not sold, and the ones who came to sell this time were certainly not gadgets. β
Shen Qiao also said.
The merchant is bold enough to fit two little dolls, even if it is a thin adult woman like her, she will definitely be able to fit it.
"Oh, it's far away, I haven't seen it."
The shadow of the merchant gradually faded away, Gu Xuan said regretfully.
Shen Qiao pursed his lips and smiled: "People are running around for a living, but you have come to see it as a plaything, you are not authentic!" β
"Hey, I'll just talk. There was no play in this Taiping Village after dinner, and there was only a merchant in a few days, and my villager looked at it as a novelty. β
Gu Xuan laughed at himself.
"Okay, don't be poor, let's go around from there and go back to rest!"
Shen Qiao turned around and walked towards the path.
Gu Xuan followed behind.
After walking most of the village, it was getting dark.
When the two returned home, only Ngawang sat in the hall and dozed off.
Without asking, the two knew that the Zhou family must have gone next door to talk to the woman of the Yuan family again.
"Ngawang, go and sleep in the house, be careful of the cold outside."
Shen Qiao woke up Ah Wang.
"Qiaoqiao, Ah Xuan, you're back!"
At this time, Zhou also returned.
"Hey, mother, you're coming back now, don't you talk to Grandma Lin next door for a while?"
Shen Qiao asked with a smile.
"No, it's your Grandma Lin's house that has an accident!"
Zhou said a little anxiously.
"Something? What happened? β
Shen Qiao asked.
She was not as anxious as Zhou, she thought that an accident in this village was usually not a big deal.
"It's Qingyan's girl, gone! The girl also heard that there was a merchant who came to the village in the afternoon, to see what fresh things to buy, and never came back. β
Zhou said the matter anxiously.
