Chapter 9 Riding in the Car
Although Taoli Village is not far from Wusu Town, it still takes an hour to walk, and everyone prefers to spend two pennies to take an ox cart. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe bullock cart is sometimes slower than walking, but it is more comfortable and you don't have to carry anything.
Under the big tree at the entrance of Taoli Village, an old man sat leisurely at the head of the ox cart, holding a whip in his hand and waiting for guests. There were three or five villagers sitting in the car, chatting and chatting.
"I heard that yesterday, the Xia family hit a wild boar, which is very infiltrating, bigger than my pig." A plump middle-aged woman said.
"What's the use of hunting no matter how much, no matter how much money you make, it's not to fill that medicine jar and little fool's hole." A woman with high raised cheekbones said bitterly, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
After a pause, she said again: "The Xia family didn't know what kind of sin they had created before, and they gave birth to such a fool. I heard that I still have to be fed when I am five years old. Haha burst out laughing.
"Zhao Huyan, you can't talk nonsense like this, who doesn't know that you wanted to ask someone for a rabbit at the beginning, but you were rejected by their family, and you don't want to think about who will give it to you if you are not a relative. You are a person who wants to fish when you see the benefits, and no one in the village knows. Did you pass on the fact that the Xia family was bandits in the village before? A tall, thin woman raised her voice of accusation.
Zhao Huyan was poked by someone, and pointed her finger at the woman who was defending the summer just now: "Also, you are all broken households in the village and breathe out in the same nostril." Talking to you about lowering my identity. With that, he turned his head to the side.
Zhao Haiping, the woman in the white dress of pulp shampooing, didn't know what to refute for a while, and her face was flushed with anxiety. She and Zhao Huyan both married from Zhaojia Village to Taoli Village, but the two of them have been at odds since childhood, and she has hated Zhao Huyan's nature of plucking since she was a child, so she said that when she was in Zhaojia Village, her family had not been less affected by Zhao Huyan coming to rub things.
The plump woman just now said to the mud: "I heard Yang Xiulian say this morning that the little fool of the Xia family is better, and he is no longer stupid. It seems that the day before yesterday fell into the water on the second day of February, and the dragon king was kind-hearted and cured her."
"This is a big deal, the Dragon King really cured that little fool's head."
"That little fool has a really good life, he has the eyes of the dragon lord."
"Next year, I will also go to the river to worship the Dragon King"
…………
As soon as the words fell, the car began to talk again. Ancient people still believed in the theory of gods and ghosts, and they naturally attributed the sudden improvement of Xia Cao to the Dragon King.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and when the villagers were talking, Xia Muhan took the three little dolls of the family to the place where they were waiting for the bus under the big locust tree in the village.
"Brother Mu Han, do you want to take the car too?" The old man who was driving the car saw the Xia family greeting warmly.
Xia Muhan usually walks alone to the town, but now he is reluctant to let Xia Cao estimate that he can't walk such a long way, so he leads his three children here to take a car.
He also knew the old man who drove the car, Old Man Li, he had no son, and his only daughter married in Xinghua Village next door. The daughter is very filial, afraid that her father will not be able to do heavy work when he is old, so she gritted her teeth and sold a cow to her father to drive a car to earn some living expenses. Sometimes Old Man Li saw that he was working hard carrying his prey, and sometimes he lent him an ox cart to transport the prey to the city. And he sometimes helps him rework to express his gratitude and send the little prey he has brought to Old Man Li.
As soon as the people in the car heard that the Xia family was coming, they immediately stopped talking, and the noisy ox cart quieted down.
The villagers all quietly looked at Xia Cao to see what was different about this person who was favored by the Dragon Lord.
Today's Xia Cao is wearing the pale yellow clothes sent by Sister Lihua yesterday because she is going to enter the city, her hair is tied into two small horns, and her two big watery eyes are also particularly brilliant. Under Xia Muhan's body, he looks petite and lovely.
"Brother Muhan, this is your precious daughter. You're usually hiding it, and I'm going to be able to find it. Old man Li, who was silent just now, greeted Xia Muhan familiarly.
"Don't hurry up and say hello to Grandpa Li!" Xia Muhan turned around and said to the three children.
"Hello Grandpa Li!" The three little radishes said in unison
It may be that there has been no child Chenghuan under his knees for a long time, Old Man Li contains the vicissitudes of life, and his wrinkled face also smiled and said vaguely: "Okay, it's all so good." ”
Xia Muhan unloaded the wild boar on his back and put it on the car, and then carried Xia Cao into the car, probably because he was afraid that Xia Cao would not be able to stand the bumps of the ox cart, so he held it in his arms. The two elder brothers also jumped briskly on the ox cart.
The people in the village may think that Xia Muhan's force is too strong, and they usually just talk about it behind their backs. There are not many people who speak ill of him in the face of him, it is said that ten years ago, a second Laizi in the village used to be worried about the beauty of the Su family, and walked around the Xia family, and after being discovered by Xia Muhan, Er Laizi lay on the bed for several months and couldn't get out of bed for several months. From then on, no one in the village dared to provoke the Xia family head-on.
The people in the car looked at the Xia family with glowing eyes, looked secretly, and the bold ones only knocked on the side to say hello.
After all, the fat woman just now couldn't resist the curiosity in her heart and asked Xia Muhan: "Brother Muhan, this is the wild boar that was hunted yesterday, it's really big." She saw that Xia Muhan just mumbled, and continued to pretend to be bold and asked, "Why did you bring Xiaocao and Mai He with you when you entered the city today, don't you usually only take arbor to the city?" ”
Xia Muhan is a person who doesn't talk much, but Xia Cao is happy from the bottom of his heart, and he is also happy to let the people in the village know that his daughter is not stupid at all, as if the village announced loudly: "Xiaocao is a little stuffy at home for too long, so I will take her to the town to play." "Playing with the two little horns on the head of the summer grass.
Looking at his father's mighty appearance, in order to ease the atmosphere, Xia Qiaomu, a diplomat, took the initiative to greet everyone: "Aunt Chunxiang, my sister will be just right, this will take her out for a walk, get to know more people in our village, sister come and say hello to Aunt Chunxiang." After speaking, he introduced everyone in the car to Xia Cao one by one, and Xia Cao also smiled and took the initiative to say hello to the villagers.
Xia Cao sighed that the elder brother was really a good material for diplomats, and he was polite and modest to the people in the village. Whoever in the village talked about Xia Qiaomu gave him a thumbs up. Everyone praised that this child was really sensible, not only took care of the house in an orderly manner, but also knew how to take care of his younger siblings. Even the naughty children in the village were educated, and they said bitterly while beating: "Look at you, and then look at how sensible Xia Qiaomu is." "Typical children in the villagers are eager to step on other people's children.
After everyone sat down, Old Man Li raised his whip and set off.
The greeting just now may have a little energy, and sometimes it's a little boring to be in the car without moving, and Xia Cao fell asleep sweetly in the bad heart of the cheap daddy.
"My sister has arrived, wake up." Xia Maihe on the side shook up the summer grass that was gnawing on the big chicken leg in a sweet dream.
Xia Muhan paid the fare to Old Man Li again, and he felt that the wild boar took up too much space and paid an extra five cents. Old man Li told him to go back at noon and told him not to miss the time.
Xia Cao got out of the car and found herself at the city gate. On the gate of the city are written three big characters "Wusu Town". Of course, Xia Cao didn't recognize the big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, she guessed it.
