Chapter 64

When Orange let go of her hand, she didn't forget to glare at Hua Sui, so frightened that she trembled again and didn't dare to speak again.

This orange thief is ruthless!

Li Hongda is a boy in her family, and she is still studying in the town, and her two cousins are useless. But it was impossible for her to swallow this breath, and her heart crackled and calculated.

Xing'er saw that the orange had long lost the mind to see Li Shancai, so she got out of her body and walked home. She almost couldn't help but ask Orange just now, when will Songbai come back?

Even if you can't marry Songbai, you can look at Songbai from a distance in the future.

Hua Sui didn't leave apricots either, she had to go and sue Li Shancai when she left, with this cousin's infatuated temperament, she would definitely hate Orange and their gang.

Xiuxiu calmed down and smiled embarrassedly, "Look at me, as soon as I hear others say that my family is not good, the fire in my heart will rise." ”

"Who isn't! But next time you have to be careful when you're alone, this Li Huasui is not easy to mess with. Rika said with some concern.

Orange nodded, "I'm afraid I hated us just now." Her father is the village chief, we all have to be careful, we were reckless just now. ”

She was afraid that Hua Sui would go back to add oil and vinegar to the village chief Li, and then she would cause trouble to the family.

Xiuxiu was ashamed and ashamed, and Rika sneered, "You are such a cool person, will do this?" What do she say, what are you afraid of! ”

"I'm not afraid, just be careful in the future."

The three of them began to dig bamboo shoots, and the fat and tender ones really made people feel better.

But God couldn't get along with them today, Dong Xiaoshan, Xiao'e, and Xiaoting walked towards them across the basket.

Pear Blossom muttered in a low voice: "Didn't you marry Dong Xiaoshan just now, why did she run out?" ”

Xiuxiu didn't hear about it at home, so she was busy asking Rika about it, and Rika told her what she had heard. Xiuxiu sneered: "What else can I do?" You must be ashamed to hide, otherwise there will be no food to eat at home! It's a pity that my second brother beat those rabbits. ”

Her voice was not small, Xiaoting had already walked to her, and when she heard the word rabbit, her eyes were already red.

thought that she was the first to marry out, but she had no one to ask for it, but the eldest sister married a good family.

Although the family is far away, there is a sister who is a concubine in Landlord Li's house.

There was no joy on Xiao Shan's face, more Mu Ran. Don't talk about her, it's her mother and her grandmother, and she hasn't even seen the men in that family, and it's all his second uncle who came to propose marriage.

How can there be such a person in these ten miles and eight towns?

Now she is sure that it is not a good person who comes to propose marriage, and she talks to her mother in exchange for a sentence of "worry about it, there is nothing to do".

That's it, it's a big deal to throw in the well, and it's clean!

Orange didn't want to have another incident, so he took Pear Blossom and Xiuxiu away, and none of these two people could get used to Xiaoting. I had a fight with the flower spike just now, but I can't fight anymore.

On the way, they discussed how to eat bamboo shoots, and they said that they were fried with meat. Orange thought that their family hadn't eaten meat for a long time, either wild vegetables or peach blossom porridge, and Chi Dazhu had been eating pot with fish sauce for several days.

Xiuxiu didn't want to go home, so she cooked with them at Orange's house. She was chopping vegetables on the side, and suddenly said, "There are many fish and shrimp in the spring, and there are loaches or something." Last time, the dried loach made of oranges was very delicious, so when did I call my second brother to catch it. ”

Pear Blossom nodded hesitantly, "It's good, it's good, it's your brother free?" ”

"It's nothing, how can there be something every day? Just take half a day out and you're good to go. ”

Orange stir-fried the meat in the pot, and said in his mouth: "The two characters in our village, the hunting of Qingwa Ge and the fish caught by the second child, there is no more than them!" ”

The three of them laughed, and Chen was happy to listen outside, wondering when Songbai would come back?

It's been more than half a year, but there is no news from this ship. When the shopkeeper comes to the house next time, he must inquire carefully.

***

Songbai and the others asked Xiongzi to pretend to be close to her sister who was a hand of gold, and after slowly getting acquainted, she told everything she knew.

"I accidentally heard my brother say one day, alas, you can't tell anyone else!"

Xiong Zi promised again and again, and he had to swear to God. Jin Mei'er continued: "I heard my brother say that on an island to the west, it is full of coal! ”

"Coal? You didn't listen? ”

Jin Mei'er glanced at him, "How can this be a bad listen!" It's a pity that not so many people dig it, so it has been put on hold. I don't know why, but a lot of people came here a few months ago, and they started digging......"

Xiongzi frowned when he heard this, wasn't it when they had just escaped death a few months ago? In this way, could it be that the water thieves intercepted them to dig coal?

**

Chi Dazhu and Zhao He went to water in the field, this year's weather is drier than in previous years, except for a few snows during the New Year, the rain has not yet fallen a few times.

If this continues, won't all the crops in the field be gone?

When Orange saw that her father and Uncle Zhao were back, she brought a glass of warm water, and they always drank the cold water that had just been drawn from the well.

"Did you get the water today?"

Chi Dazhu sighed, "Thanks to the green bricks to help, I poured it all over." If it doesn't rain anymore, it's going to be a problem. ”

Zhao He nodded, "Isn't that the reason, it's getting hotter and hotter, you can't keep pouring it like this!" ”

Pear Blossom called Sun over, and the dishes were all on the table, but everyone had no appetite. This crop is the lifeblood of the people, so you don't have to panic!

Sun gave Chen a piece of chopsticks of meat, "This god has eyes, you can't worry about your belly so big." ”

Chi Dazhu nodded hurriedly, "No, you just need to take care of your body." ”

"Dad, Qingwage's house is almost finished, when will they move over?" Orange hurriedly changed the subject.

Speaking of this, Chen really didn't think about the things in the field anymore. Chunmiao didn't come over to talk to her, she knew it clearly.

"They were going to move in more than half a month, and by that time the bits and pieces were pretty much gone."

Qingwa's house is to the south, and there is still some distance from them, just enough to vacate the space for their family to rebuild their house.

Xiuxiu said with a smile: "Look at the old banquet in the past few months, Brother Qingwa moved and invited wine once, my aunt gave birth to a baby once, and my brother had to invite him again when he got married......"

Everyone laughed happily, and Huang nodded Xiuxiu's forehead, "When I tell you about kiss, I have to ask again!" ”

Rika laughed so hard that her stomach hurt, "Grandma, no one dares to marry Xiuxiu's spicy appearance." ”

Xiuxiu was about to squeak her, and the two made a mess.

Sun hurriedly pulled them away, "Eat quickly, you like to make trouble after eating." If you don't eat the bamboo shoots, I'm going to finish it. ”

Huang nodded, "Your mother is right, let's eat quickly." How fragrant these bamboo shoots were, I ate a few more bites of rice than usual. ”

"That is, can my fried food not taste good? The bamboo shoots are a good thing, fragrant and smooth, and we often dig them up to eat them in the future. ”

Speaking of which, the orange suddenly remembered to pickle the bamboo shoots, and when the time comes, it will be another taste to take it out and eat it, and it is not bad.

I can't say it, I can still sell it to Zhang Xingxing!

Hua Sui went home and talked to Village Chief Li with more oil and vinegar, and showed him the red mark of the orange. Village Chief Li is just this one girl, very precious, and he will immediately go out to settle accounts with them.

His wife Li is a sensible person, otherwise she would not let her daughter find an honest and reliable man in the village. It's a pity that Hua Sui doesn't understand her mother's hard work.

Li stopped Village Chief Li, "It's just a child fighting, you don't know Hua Sui's temper, and your mouth is unforgiving." It must have been something she said that she didn't like to hear. If you go to Chi Dazhu and theorize with them, it will make them think that you have no energy. ”

Village Chief Li listened to Li's words on weekdays, and then he paused and thought about it. Hua Sui saw that her father didn't go out to take revenge, and there were tears in her eyes, was she born by the Li family?

Li continued: "But the girl can't suffer this anger in vain, the ground in Chi Dazhu's house is not too high and high, and it is not easy to water." You're ......"

At the beginning, the land that Mrs. Chi gave to Chi Dazhu was the worst, and it took so many years to get better. The terrain is not partial, but it is very high, otherwise it would not be bucket by bucket to water the ground.

Originally, Chi Dazhu wanted to borrow a waterwheel from the village to water it, but he had to wait for the people from the previous household to finish watering. As a result, it was stirred up by Village Chief Li, not to mention their family, Xiuxiu's family, and Lihua's family were not watered.

Killing the pig Li is not a vegetarian, and he does not reason with the village chief Li, so he went directly to the landlord Li's house to complain.

Landlord Li is the richest man in the surrounding villages, and although he is not very old, he has a lot of property. Ranked by generation, he still has to call Brother Li, who killed the pig.

He was not biased, and asked people to go to the village to inquire about the situation. His daughter-in-law secretly stopped people and commanded them like this.

When they came back, Village Chief Li really didn't let Chi Dazhu and them use a water truck to water them. Landlord Li sighed and called Village Chief Li over.

Now the feud of several families has been settled.

Village Chief Li went home dejectedly and said to the Li family: "This little rabbit cub actually threatened me not to let me do it!" I really don't know how thick the sky is. ”

"You also blame me, I wouldn't have said this if I knew it. I didn't expect to kill Pig Li and have such a big face, and their family has three sons, which is not easy to do. ”

Village Chief Li took a sharp puff of cigarette, slowly spit it out, and said, "What are you afraid of, I heard that the three of their brothers are not ...... each other."

***

Xiuxiu is a good talker, and she really found a day to take the oranges after the pear blossoms to fish. The second child was much happier than when he was in the first month, at least he didn't frown.

Pear Blossom joked to the second child: "Second brother, I have also seen this second sister-in-law, you are blessed." ”

The second child pursed his lips and smiled, and his heart flashed over Xiaoting's face.

If she can't say it, he's also at fault.

The willows are still clinging, and the peach blossoms are almost gone. The last time Orange came out to do her laundry, she found that the water in the river was much drier than last year.

"My grandmother said that this year is a dry year, and I thought there would be a big flood, but this God's mind is really incomprehensible." The second child looked worried.

They are also some distance from the town, so I don't know what everyone is talking about is the news that the emperor is dying.

Last year, some people said that the emperor was no good, but it turned out to be a good New Year, and now there is such news again.

The eldest prince and the third prince are fighting fiercely, and they are busy forming gangs. Few people pay attention to this unusual weather, and the consequences should not be underestimated, which is a later story.

Orange thought that there was not much grain stored in his cellar, so he used to sell it for money. It's the same situation at Pear Blossom's house, and if something really happens, you can't take care of yourself.

No, you have to discuss it carefully when you go back, and you must have enough food to store!

Xiuxiu and Pear Blossom had a lot of fun in the afternoon, and the two of them planned to go to the town to buy a new silk flower.

"How's your sheep doing? Do you milk every day? Pear Blossom remembered that Xiuxiu's family also raised a ewe later.

Xiuxiu waved her hand, "Don't mention it, I'll drink alone at home." My sister-in-law also said openly and secretly that I wasted firewood and tea leaves, and never boiled them again. ”

"It'll be fine when they are separated, and the province will make trouble every day." The second sister-in-law also looked helpless when he mentioned this sister-in-law.

If he marries Xiaoting, will he be the same to Xiuxiu? I don't even feel comfortable wanting to eat something, this is when my father and mother are here.

My mother may be right, I must marry an atmospheric woman.

Thinking of my uncle's sister, a smile finally appeared on my face.

"Then you have that sheep for nothing? It's a lot of trouble to feed every day! "Orange calculates that everyone in his family can drink goat's milk, and sometimes it's not enough. After Chen's child was born, she didn't know if she had milk, after all, she was an older mother.

Xiuxiu nodded, "There's no way to do that, you can't kill it." ”

"Otherwise, you can sell it to my family, my mother is about to give birth, and this milk is definitely not enough. Otherwise, I can still make some snacks to eat. ”

Xiuxiu shook her head: "If you want to go to my house and take it, don't talk about whether you sell it or not." Brother Songbai hasn't come back yet, so it's good for you to keep more money. ”

"How can I ask for you for nothing. Sister Orange must not be able to get over it in her heart, otherwise she would have gone to another house to buy it. Although Ewha thinks it is a bit of a waste to raise another sheep, she also supports oranges.

The second child interjected on the side, "As long as the money means, it's useless to leave our house." "He knew that if he didn't take money, he definitely wouldn't want oranges.

He beckoned again: "You just talk, can you catch fish?" ”

Xiuxiu squeezed her eyes at them, and the three of them smiled and hurriedly fished.

After coming back, he said to Chen, and Huang nodded on the side, "Orange is right, this sheep should be raised." I didn't know it before, but my legs are much sharper this year than they used to be. It's a good thing. ”

She said again that the water in the river was much less than in previous years, and then Huang was silent. When she was a child, she experienced a great drought, when there was no grass in the field and how many people died.

Even her brother died a lot, and her mother stuffed a cake into her arms to survive.

Listening to the oranges, this year is also a dry year.

"Then prepare more food, we have a cellar and it won't be dazzling. You have to buy quietly, not all from one. ”

Orange thought the same thing, went back to the house and counted the silver in hand, and hurried to water the vegetable patch.

It's best to pickle more pickles, pickle the freshly caught fish, and dig up some bamboo shoots another day.

When Chi Dazhu came back from the field, he saw his daughter pickling small fish, thinking that he was pickled, but he was not happy, and his daughter just hurt herself.

"Dad, let's go to town tomorrow and call Uncle Zhao." Orange said it again, and Chi Dazhu gradually smiled.

"Girl, it's nothing. There used to be times when it rained at the end. "Chi Dazhu is still holding a little luck, not to mention him, most people think like this. Wait, if it rains, the grain will be at a loss!

Orange shook her head, "What if it doesn't rain?" Dad, my mother still has one in her belly, so she can't take a little risk. ”

Chi Dazhu went out to talk to Zhao He, and the two thought about it for a long time, and finally went to Qingzhuan's house to borrow a board car. said to the outside world that he would go to Chenjiazhuang, but no one doubted it.

The price of grain in the town has not risen yet, so Chi Dazhu also feels painful, and he knew that he would not sell grain in previous years. Save on selling at a low price and buying at a high price.

Orange glanced at him, and if it really did, he wouldn't be able to buy it with money.

Chi Dazhu still thought in his heart that he didn't need to tell Mrs. Chi about them, but then he thought that if it was a matter of disappearing, Mrs. Chi would not hate them to death.

At night the oranges went down to the cellar, and when they dug they led into the woods, and if anything happened, they went down the cellar and ran up the hill.

The cellar is also full of grain, and I will take time to go to the town to buy it in two days, and prepare some oil and salt. Then I went back to the house and went to sleep satisfied.

For half a month, Orange has been concentrating on this matter. She also secretly sent a letter to Xiuxiu's family and the Qingzhuan family, asking them to keep it secret, and it doesn't matter if she believes it or not.

If this news had been spread from her, it would have cured her of a disturbing sin.

Qingwa had just moved to a new home, and Chunmiao came to visit the door every once in a while, and she had already heard from Orange about it. I didn't believe it, but it didn't rain for more than half a month, and I gradually believed.

I also talked to my mother's family and went to the town to buy some food. The money was used to build a house, so I didn't buy much food.

Orange is almost busy before he breathes a sigh of relief, and the rest of the people are left to their fate!
