Chapter 8 (Anger and Self-Denial)
In September, after harvesting the rice, the villagers of Yuxi Village will start to sow wheat non-stop, after all, this is half a year's grain for everyone, so in the village, except for the old, weak and young children, all the capable laborers have basically been working in the fields. At this time, suddenly there was an anxious children's voice from the Bai family's field.
"Dad, mother, it's not good, grandma is going to sell my sister." It turned out that it was the youngest son of the Bai Dafu family who shouted, and the big guy couldn't help but stand up and listen to the meaning of Bai Xiaoshi's words, after all, although the past two years have not been a big harvest year, there has been no famine, not to mention that everyone has not heard of anything that costs a lot of money in the Bai family, so when they heard Bai Xiaoshi's words at first glance, everyone became curious.
"I said that you don't stay at home, what are you doing here?" Bai Dagui, who was close to the edge of the field, heard Bai Xiaoshi's words, and hurriedly said sloppily, "You don't see that everyone is busy, what are you yelling about, besides, it's your grandmother, how could you do that, okay, go back quickly." ”
Don't look at Bai Xiaoshi, he is five years old and doesn't look tall, but as the saying goes, the poor have children who are in charge of the house early, so don't look at him when he is still young, he is usually very sensible, of course, who is good to him, he is very clear in his heart, so he didn't even look at Bai Dagui, so he turned around and ran to Bai's father and mother, and shouted as he ran: "Dad, mother, you go back quickly, it's too late, grandma is going to marry the eldest sister to Zhao Da fool in the county." ”
"Hey, you stinky boy......" Bai Dagui originally wanted to teach a lesson, this kid who doesn't value elders, but when he saw his eldest brother coming, he quickly slipped away.
"Stone, what you say is true?" When Lu and Bai Dafu came to the field from their youngest son to shout, they had already put down the farm work in their hands and walked over, and now when they heard their son's words, they were even shocked into a cold sweat.
"Of course it's true, I still slipped out while my grandmother and second aunt weren't paying attention." When Bai Xiaoshi heard this, he thought that his parents didn't believe his words, and suddenly tears came out, "Now that the stewards of the Zhao family are here, grandma and they are still greeting people at home." ”
"Daddy, let's go back quickly, it's too late." When Lu Shi heard this, his legs suddenly became weak, if he wasn't still worried about his daughter, so he still held on, and he would have been paralyzed on the ground at this time. And the white father didn't need Lu's urging, as soon as he heard his son's words, he would have already run home with a red face.
"Ouch, are you blind? Don't even look ahead when you walk? I saw a woman wearing a peony and a flower lily skirt on the path of the village, and a silver hairpin on her head was wearing a well-dressed pretty face, glaring angrily at a man beside her.
"I'm sorry"
It turned out that the white father accidentally bumped into the widow Wei in the same village when he was in a hurry, of course, if it was usual, the white father would definitely stop and apologize, but now at this time, there is no such time, so the white father can only run while rushing to apologize to the widow.
"Bah, what kind of person, can't you even apologize? Hurry up to reincarnate, right? With that, Widow Wei put on a haircut, glanced at the back of her white father, twisted her waist and left.
At this time, in the field of the Bai family, after the old man Bai saw that the eldest and his wife had already run home, he slapped his second son with a tiger face, and scolded angrily: "You shameless thing, you come over to me, to be honest, did you two coax your mother to do such a stupid thing?" "It is said that Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, Old Man Bai's words are really the truth.
However, although Bai Dagui slapped his old man, he still understood that he couldn't tell the truth at this time, so Bai Dagui covered his face with a "grievance" and said to Old Man Bai: "Dad, what are you talking about, how could I do such a thing." ”
"Why are you reasonable? Even if it wasn't your idea, you know it just now. After listening to his second son's explanation, Old Man Bai's face became a little better, and he shouted angrily. And Bai Dagui saw that he had fooled the old man, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said without a trace: "I'm not the eldest brother, since my mother has decided to do something, how dare I disobey her." ”
"Okay, since you don't care about it, just hoe me well." Bai Dagui saw that although his old man was still calm when he heard this, he was no longer angry with him, so he dared to ask again: "What did that mother do......
"Don't mention your mother to me, I get angry when I mention it, this girl with long hair and short knowledge actually gave me such a thing, and I don't want to think about what the people in the village will think of us if this thing is done, I will be ashamed." Old Man Bai frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Dad, should we go back and have a look? Uh~~ I'll go hoe right away. Bai Dagui saw that the old man was looking at him coldly, so he quickly turned his tone around and finished speaking, and walked away in a gloomy manner......
Before a stick of incense......
Bai Cuicui has been driving herself crazy lately, and anyone is always being watched inexplicably, but when you look back, you find that there is nothing, this time and twice, but it has been like this for three days in a row, and she has even thought nervously now: if her cheap grandmother and second aunt look at her like this again, she will stand directly in front of them and stare at them crying and laughing, to see who "tortures" whom in the end.
Although she can think so mentally like Ah Q, Bai Cuicui is also vigilant all the time, she always feels that these two people are planning some conspiracy, although she has only crossed over here for more than a month, but she has already had a painful "understanding" of the virtue of these two people, all in all, these two people are not profitable early, not to mention that this phenomenon only started after the white father had no vegetable trading.
"Hey, Cuicui, where are you going with your cloth bag?" As soon as Xiao Gao saw Bai Cuicui preparing to go out, he immediately spoke up.
Of course, if you go out to hide, will you still be able to make up for it?' I thought like this in my heart, but Bai Cuicui still replied with a smile on her face: "I made an appointment with Dandan, and I will go to her house today to ask his sister to teach us to embroider some new patterns, so that we can give the family more input." ”
"Yo, our family Cuicui has really grown up, and she can think about her family." Xiao Gao's smirk when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "If you want to learn new tricks, why do you need to find outsiders, and the second aunt can teach you." ”
"Then thank you second aunt first, but I have already discussed it with Dandan and them, and if I don't go, I'm afraid I won't be able to get by." Bai Cuicui refused, but secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, "You said so, how dare I stay at home." ’
"You ......" As soon as Xiao Gao's heard this, he was about to have a seizure, but at this moment, he saw Bai Gao's leading a person not far away, coming from this side, and immediately smiled on his face, turned around and immediately said to Bai Cuicui and Yan Yuese: "Since there are guests at home, then Cuicui, don't go out yet, hurry to the kitchen and bring a cup of tea to the hall." After saying that, he twisted his waist to greet him, Bai Cuicui twisted her eyebrows, looking at the current situation, it seemed that she couldn't get out, so she had no choice but to put the things back in the house first, and then take a step at a time.
"Eldest sister, what did you say grandma asked this Zhao steward to do?" Bai Xiaoshi leaned over to Bai Cuicui's side and said shyly.
"What is Steward Zhao?" Bai Cuicui stopped when she heard this, and wondered. "It's the housekeeper of Zhao Yuanwai's house in the county seat, have you forgotten, last time, when we were shopping for lanterns, didn't we still meet him leading Zhao Dasha to the restaurant?" Bai Xiaoshi looked at his eldest sister suspiciously and explained.
"Oh, eldest sister, this is the last time I was sick and confused, and many things are a little vague if you don't say it, but I remember what you said." Bai Cuicui patted her head and said to Bai Xiaoshi with a smile, but then froze, "Something is wrong, this Bai family has no contact with the Zhao family on weekdays, why did they get in touch today?" The Zhao family, the Zhao steward, and the Zhao Dasha, it's bad! In an instant, a light flashed in Bai Cuicui's mind, and then she grabbed Bai Xiaoshi and hurriedly said, "Shishi, you hurry to the field now to find your father, and say that grandma and they are going to marry me to Zhao Dasha, and tell them to come back quickly." Oh, and remember to go out the back door. Bai Xiaoshi was also anxious when he saw his sister say this, and quickly answered and ran through the back door.
Bai Cuicui calmed down, and comforted herself, "Don't panic Bai Cuicui, take out some of your skills as a traverser, besides, even if the eldest prince of Zhao is not married, it will not be your turn." After thinking about it, Bai Cuicui took a deep breath and walked to the kitchen, then grabbed a handful of ashes from under the stove, touched her face and body, poured some sauerkraut juice into the tea and went out.
