Chapter 54
Because of a village, Li Lao Er couldn't leave her alone. In case the snow falls heavily for a while, the road up the mountain is not easy to walk, not to mention, it will be difficult for Dong Xiaoting to be found.
It took him a lot of effort to pull her up, and the two inevitably made physical contact. Dong Xiaoting had never touched a man's hand, and was pulled by his rough and generous palm, and she blushed.
"You're going up the hill alone? Can you still walk aisle? Seeing her nodded, the second child helped her walk two steps, Xiaoting stumbled badly, and a lot of sweat oozed from her sore forehead. The second child couldn't look at her ankle injury, so he simply carried her on his back, so that it would be better to go down the mountain faster.
Xiao Ting was a little embarrassed, and reached out to take the rabbit in his hand, "Trouble Second Brother Li, I'll carry it for you." He said curiously: "You hit this?" That's amazing! ”
The second child pursed his lips, "It's nothing, Qingwa is powerful." And he fell silent.
The two had no contact before, and Dong Xiaoting's family had the number one Chi Pozi, and the relationship with the village was not very good. Xiaoting leaned on the second child's broad back, opened her mouth and wanted to say something to the second child, but after thinking about it, she closed it again.
If...... It's really not bad as she thinks......
She saw that sweat was oozing from the second child's forehead, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him, and said a little embarrassedly: "Second brother Li, otherwise let's rest for a while and then leave." ”
The second child shook his head, "If you don't leave, you won't be able to go back tonight, and it's almost dark when you don't see it." ”
The more the day is, the more difficult the road is, and there are no beasts. Coupled with the snow during the day, I haven't gone down for almost two hours. The second child was worried about his mother and Xiuxiu, and was in a hurry to rush home. I just carried Xiaoting on my back, and I didn't say anything if I couldn't go fast, so I had to send her home.
Xiaoting also knew the danger of spending the night in the mountains, so she didn't continue. The two walked for another half an hour and finally came down the mountain.
Xiuxiu's father and the third child had already gone out to find the second child, and it would be nothing if they put it on hold, but they just quarreled today. Xiu Xiuniang lay on the bed and worried, regretting that she had pressed herself too hard, and when her son came back, she would sue him, and if she didn't want to get married, she wouldn't get married.
Xiaoting's family is also very anxious, her two sisters Dong Xiaoshan and Dong Xiao'e have long wanted to go out to find someone, but their mother is not at ease, and Mrs. Dong does not let Dong Xiaotie go out, so she has to be anxious at home.
Waiting for Dong Xiaoting to shout at the door: "Mother, eldest sister, second sister......" Several people quickly got up and went out to look, and saw Dong Xiaoting climbing on a man's back with something in her hand, and she couldn't see who it was in the dark.
Dong Xiaoting's mother, Wang, immediately shouted angrily: "Who are you?" What's wrong with my Xiaoting? ”
She had the impression that Xiaoting was very obedient and sensible, and it must be because of this man that she came back so late.
The second child originally wanted to leave Xiaoting at the door of her house, but Mrs. Chi couldn't touch it. He told Xiaoting that he was good, but he didn't expect Xiaoting to call her mother and sister when she arrived at the door.
Xiaoting said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry for the second brother, I'm afraid they will worry...... Otherwise, go and sit at home for a while. ”
Before the second child could answer, Wang rushed to him and grabbed him by the collar. Xiaoting said anxiously on the side: "Mother, you are mistaken, this is the second Li in the west of the village...... I twisted my foot on the mountain, thanks to the second brother......"
Wang will suspiciously loosen the collar of the second child, the second child has already been on fire, and he is about to leave when he raises his legs, and he is not going to take the rabbit.
But Xiaoting grabbed him, "Second brother, go in and drink some water." If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fed the wild boar today. ”
Seeing that a few people hadn't gone in for a long time, Mrs. Dong walked to the door slowly, and saw the raw rabbit in Dong Xiaoting's hand at a glance.
"Oh, Xiaoting, where did you get this? Tsk, there is finally oil and water in the stomach. ”
Li Lao Er was anxious when he saw Mrs. Dong coming out, and he shook off Xiaoting and walked forward hurriedly. Mrs. Dong found him at this time and asked, "Xiaoting, this rabbit was beaten by this man?" It's good, it's good, but you can't come back so late and make your mother worry. ”
Wang rolled her eyes, her mother-in-law didn't have a door on her lips, and her eyelids were very shallow, what are a few rabbits, the important thing is people.
There were outsiders just now, Dong Xiaoshan and Dong Xiao'e didn't say anything, and at this time they stepped forward and said, "Look at the mud, go to the house to change your clothes." Are you okay with this foot, can you still walk? Why did you twist your foot? ”
"I fell into a trap when I was on the mountain, but fortunately there was nothing in it, but I just fell to my feet, and I don't know which god killed it! …… Later, I met Li Lao Er and sent me back. ”
Dong Xiaoshan helped her to walk home, "It's too dark and I don't see what Li Lao Er looks like, and I haven't paid attention to it before." How's the people? ”
Xiaoting's face flushed, "Sister, of course you don't know if you do embroidery at home every day-well, it's okay, it's just a little dark." ”
**
When the second child returned home, Li and Li had not yet returned. Xiu Xiuniang saw that the second child was back, and after a long sigh of relief, she began to count him down: "What are you doing when you are such an adult?" I don't know if your father and mother are worried about you, what do you say if something happens to you......?"
Xiuxiu wiped her mother's tears and complained: "Second brother, don't blame your mother for talking about you, your mother is not worried about you." I see that you haven't come back yet, and you haven't eaten this dinner yet! ”
She came back from town in the morning and bought a lot of things. She also bought a hairpin for her mother, which was still from the Sun family, but the orange was bought for the Chen family and the Sun family.
Xiu Xiuniang was very happy and stuck it on her head early. Speaking of which, the girl is still intimate, and the kid was born to collect debts.
After a while, Pig Killer Li and Li Laosan also returned, and they started to eat. Xiuxiu's risotto, this is the last time I went to Orange's house to learn.
The cake is thin, crispy, and golden brown. The soup is also delicious, and it also contains minced pork, tofu cubes, pickles, cabbage, and chopped green onions.
A few people snorted and ate, and their bodies were half warm. The cake is soaked in flavor and tastes more fragrant than when eaten alone. Xiu Xiuniang saw that the second child had been silent, and gave him a few pieces of meat, but she didn't say anything.
Seeing that no one was talking at the table, the third child said funny: "Xiuxiu, when did you cook so delicious?" Tut, now you can rest easy, if someone at your mother-in-law's house says you, you can show him a hand, no other than this cake. ”
Xiuxiu glanced at the third child: "I can't stop you if I really eat." ”
Boss Li didn't go out to find the third child just now, and his mother-in-law said that the child was too young to go, and at this time she also joked: "No, the little sister's craftsmanship is very good now." ”
Xiuxiu only nodded, but did not say anything. There was silence on the table again.
Pig Killer Li and Xiu Xiuniang didn't sleep at night, and the two muttered, "Did you ask why?" What's wrong with the second child, just come back and don't say anything, there is not a lot of mud on his body. ”
Pig Killer Li sighed, "I asked San'er to ask, you don't know the stubborn temper of the second child, and you didn't ask anything." I guess I'm still worried about getting married, don't keep urging him......"
**
Xiaoting didn't fall asleep at night, as soon as she closed her eyes, it was the second child's broad back and his shining eyes......
Within a few days, gossip about Li Lao Er and Xiao Ting spread in the village. It was very dark that day, and it was cold, and few people were outside, which was almost certainly passed on by Mrs. Dong.
Xiuxiu Niang was startled, and asked the third son, the third child shook his head, "I just heard about it, it scared me...... The second brother didn't say anything to me these days, and he was lying in the house when he saw the sky. ”
She couldn't ask, so she went directly to find the second child. This is not a trivial matter, if you really have an in-law with Mrs. Dong, hey, how can this be good?
The second child was silent for a while and nodded, "Mother, I sent her back that day...... I thought about it, since this is already the case, let's marry her. ”
He knew that it was not good that night, and he was thinking in his heart how to get out, he didn't want to marry Dong Xiaoting.
But after thinking about it for two days, I found that there was no way. It's right that they stayed alone for a day, not to mention that he also took Xiaoting's hand, and when he carried her on his back, he inevitably touched places that shouldn't have been touched.
When Xiu Xiuniang heard this, her body shook and fell down, and she didn't react.
The second child shouted "mother" twice, quickly called Xiuxiu in, and ran to find Lao Huang by himself.
**
Orange and Pear Blossom also heard the rumors in the village, and they were very surprised. When she went to the town that day, didn't Xiuxiu still say that her second brother didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, did she change her mind after a few days?
Rika stopped wiping her sweat, even if she was working in winter, she was sweating, "Just wait for Xiuxiu to ask her, we can't guess." ”
Orange nodded, "No, didn't she say that she came over to see us make tofu today." If she doesn't come to help, we won't give her tofu to eat. ”
The two laughed, and Sun was afraid that they would be tired, and he would let them rest and eat a piece of candy after a while. Sun will do it for them for a while, but he will do it quickly.
Lao Huang hurriedly followed Xiuxiu's house, and took the pulse: "It's not a big deal, it's just a hurry, but I can't make your mother angry anymore." ”
Killing pig Li breathed a sigh of relief next to him, but fortunately his mother-in-law was fine. Immediately let the second child kneel in the yard, so that he could figure out when to get up.
Xiuxiu didn't plead on the side, what if something really happened to her mother? Now she's scared.
**
Xiaoting happily waited for the letter at home, but as a result, she didn't see her second child coming over after the New Year, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Wang said confidently: "He touched your hand and wanted to repay the debt, there is no such thing." Just wait with peace of mind. She asked clearly, this son-in-law can't run.
What she is more worried about now is Xiaoshan and Xiao'e, both of whom are not young, and no one has come to the door to propose marriage. Xiaoting still has the means, and she found a good in-law all of a sudden.
Quite hateful pointed at Xiaoshan and Xiao'e and said, "Learn from your sister, our family is different from other people's families!" It's only right to find a good in-law. ”
