Chapter 167 Avoiding Suspicion
After Ling'er's family and Yue'er finished lunch, Ling'er's family closed the door to thank the guests, and no matter who knocked on the door, they pretended not to know. It wasn't until the sun went down that they got into the car through the back door, circled around the grove behind the house, avoided the neighbors and went out of the town, and walked slowly to Wangjia Village in the sunset.
It has been less than a month since she left Wangjia Village this time, but it feels like a few years have passed, and Ling'er is quite happy. Ning Ba, Da Qiang and Ten Sisters went to Wangjia Village for the first time, Ling'er had told them a lot of things in the village before, and they seemed to be looking forward to it, chattering all the way!
Even the old father and the old lady are the same, the old lady has been asking Grandma Gui all the way how the so-and-so in the village is doing, and sighing that she is in a hurry, and she didn't bring anything back to Yunyun!
Yue'er said with a smile: "Grandma Yang, Wangjia Village is only a few miles away from the town, if you want to buy something, you can take Uncle Rong's ox cart, if the weather is good, you can get there in a quarter of an hour, what a convenient thing, why do you always worry about this?" ”
The old lady was a little embarrassed to be said, and nodded her head again and again! When Grandma Gui saw this, she naturally couldn't help but blame Yue'er for not talking big or small, and as soon as Yue'er was coquettish, Grandma Gui had no choice!
The group walked all the way to the vicinity of Wangjia Village, Ling'er asked Wang Jiarong to stop, she stood up and looked into the direction of Wangjia Village for a moment, thought about it and said: "Dad, mother, let's go home directly from the side, don't live from the village, okay?" ”
Daddy and Mom glanced at each other, and Daddy thought for a while: "It's okay, it's closer here!" Jiarong, I'm sorry for you! ”
Yue'er was puzzled: "Huh? Why? The road to your house is a small road, and the ox cart can't get through! ”
"It's okay, we'll walk up on our own, and we won't have a few steps anyway!"
"How's that going to work? Grandpa Yang is not in good health, and Daqiang's injuries are not good. I can't walk, how can I go back? ”
"This ...... I'll carry it! ”
"You back? Even if you have enough strength, you're so short......"
Grandma Gui also persuaded: "Yes, Ling'er, your body is so small, even if you have more strength, it is not convenient to carry your father on your back." In case you accidentally bump along the way. A lot of things are coming, let's go positive, let's all drop by! Jia Rong. You just work hard, send Ling'er and them to the door, and then help unload the things! ”
Wang Jiarong nodded and said, "Hey, I know." If you don't say it, I'll do it too! ”
"That's it, Ling'er, Grandpa Yang, Grandma Yang. Let's go ahead! Just take the ten sisters to recognize the road, and by the way, they can also recognize people, so that the people in the village don't know them when they see them in the future, right. Grandmother? ”
Everyone persuaded one after another, and Ling'er thought for a while and said, "Thank you, Grandma Gui, Uncle Jiarong, you also know." The last time the Yan family was in trouble, and there was also the matter of throwing dead things at the door. Many people in the village don't want to see our family; We haven't been back for a few days, and the house must have accumulated dust, so we need to tidy it up.
Da Qiang, Ning Ba and Ten Mei just came, and they were not familiar with the surroundings; And my father is not in good health, Daqiang's injury is not good, and he needs to recuperate, or he will see fewer people for the time being, so as not to cause extraneous branches! After a few days, we will tidy up, and then take the ten sisters into the village to visit the uncles and aunts one by one, as well as Grandma Gui! ”
"Alas, what to visit and not to visit! You didn't do anything wrong about the Yan family, and the dead thing has nothing to do with you, so why be afraid of those who chew the root of their tongues? I think it's still ......."
"Old woman!" The old village chief called Grandma Gui, "Brother Yang has their own considerations, they don't want to make extraneous branches, so don't force them!" In this way, Jiarong, you drive the ox cart to send Brother Yang and his family to the intersection first, and by the way, help unload the things, carry Brother Yang and Daqiang back to his yard, and then drive into the village from the front of the village! ”
The old lady hurriedly excused herself: "No, no, no!" Let's just go on our own! Jiarong, you can directly send the eldest brother of the village chief, sister-in-law Gui and Yue'er Xiaohuzi home! Thank you, ah! ”
Grandma Gui said, "How can that be done?" You have so many things, and it is inconvenient for Brother Yang to move, Jiarong, just send Ling'er and their family back according to what your uncle said, and you don't have to worry about us! ”
"No, no, no... You have so many things ......" The two sides pushed back and forth, and finally decided that Wang Jiarong would first drive the ox cart to the intersection of the small road near Ling'er's house, and then everyone unloaded the things and helped get Dad and Daqiang home, and then Wang Jiarong drove the ox cart to take the old village chief and them into the front of the village and send them to the door.
When they arrived at the intersection of the path, Ling'er followed Wang Jiarong to jump off the ox cart, first helped Dad and Daqiang down, and then unloaded the things, and then Ling'er lifted the things to lead the way, Wang Jiarong picked up his father and was about to leave, when a voice suddenly inserted in the oblique ground:
"Hey, isn't this Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang? Oops, the silly girl is back too! Didn't you go to the town to open a shop and make a fortune? I heard that you earned thousands of taels of silver in half a month, is it true? Tsk, thousands of taels of silver! I've never seen that much money in my life! Aunt Yang, so much silver can fill a big box, right? ”
As she spoke, the woman craned her neck to search for Ling'er's house, presumably looking for the big box of silver! Everyone stopped when they heard the sound, and Ling'er saw that the woman looked ordinary, and a big mole at the corner of her mouth was particularly conspicuous.
The old lady smiled awkwardly: "How can there be!" Siniang laughed! ”
The woman didn't believe it, "Aunt Yang, don't, why are you hiding it, our villagers, are you still afraid that I won't rob you of your silver?" Take it out and take a look, and let us countrymen open their eyes! ”
The old lady was even more embarrassed, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, and Yue'er on the side laughed and said, "Auntie, you really know how to laugh!" Let's not say that Aunt Yang's family doesn't have so much silver, even if there is, who would be stupid to move it around in a box? A thousand taels of silver weighs more than a hundred pounds, how heavy it is! It's better to exchange it directly for a silver ticket, just a few pieces of paper, just hide it anywhere, no one knows, how convenient it is! Yes, Grandpa! ”
Yue'er looked back at the old village chief, the woman noticed Yue'er's family, and was even more shocked when she saw the old village chief, she touched her nose in a sneer, said hello to the old village chief and Grandma Gui, said hello and left in a hurry with the basket!
Ling'er and the others stood in place stunned for a moment, and Yue'er said: "Ling'er, look, if you don't pass through the village, it's not the same as meeting the people in the village, you can't hide, it's better to enter from the entrance of the village generously!" ”
Ling'er laughed dryly, originally thought that everyone was going home at this hour, and there were few people here who would not meet the people in the village, but the result was so coincidental, I knew that this would not be tossed! Really! It seems that it is already a luxury to want to be quiet for a few days!
Ling'er turned around and said: "Forget it, the things have been unloaded, anyway, there are not a few steps, let's go, let's move the things back first, Uncle Jiarong, my father will trouble you!" ”
The group moved the things back to the yard together, and Wang Jiarong made two trips to carry his father and Daqiang back, and then they returned to the ox cart, turned around, and went home from the front of the village.
The ten sisters went to Ling'er's house for the first time, and they were very surprised to see Ling'er's house like this, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to be a little happy, and took the initiative to follow the old lady and Ling'er to clean up the house!
There are only three new houses in Ling'er's family, one hall and two side rooms, one is where her father and mother live, and one is Ling'er's, and now there are three more Daqiang, Ning Ba and Ten Sisters, and the house is a little nervous! After some discussion, everyone decided to add a small bed in the father's room for Ling'er and the tenth sister to sleep in, and Ling'er's room was left to Ning Ba and Daqiang, and two more rooms were built when they were free.
A few people simply cleaned up, and it was already dark, and the old lady decided to cook first, eat and rest for a night, and then talk about it tomorrow. Ling'er followed the old lady to the kitchen, and when she walked to the courtyard, she saw a figure dangling at the gate of the courtyard.
"Who!" Ling'er shouted, the figure shrank and disappeared, Ling'er stared over there for a while, and the old lady came over and said, "What's the matter, Ling'er?" Where's the person? ”
"Nothing! Maybe I'm wrong! Mother, let's go cook! ”
The two entered the kitchen, and after a while, the tenth sister ran in and said, "Sister, godmother, there is an aunt outside the door!" ”
The old lady sighed, wiped her hands and went out, Ling'er stood up and looked out, and sure enough, she saw a woman standing in the courtyard, and the person said a few words to the old lady, and then followed the old lady into the hall, and by the light of the hall, Ling'er recognized that it was the nearest neighbor to her house, Mrs. Fei.
In fact, it is said that recently, but his family has little contact with his family, but this Grandma Fei often points to her own direction and scolds Huai, loses chickens for a while, and loses a few garlic seedlings for a while, anyway, everything has to rely on her own head! At first, Ling'er also reasoned with her for a few words, and after getting used to it a few more times, she used her scolding words as a singing!
It's strange, Mrs. Fei doesn't want to see her own house so much, she came to the door as soon as she came back today, why did she come?
Ling'er stuffed two handfuls of firewood, then ran to the hall, and when she entered the house, she saw that the old lady invited Mrs. Fei to the upper seat, and was pouring water for her, Mrs. Fei sat crookedly, saying that it was not troublesome, but her eyes were dripping and rolling, as if she wanted to see through the cracks in the wall of Ling'er's house!
"Grandma Fei, why are you here? Have you lost your chicken again? Ling'er jumped in and said with a grin.
Mrs. Fei was stunned for a moment, and pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, "No, no!" I just saw that your yard was lit up, and I was afraid that your house would be robbed, so I came to take a look! Oh, I mean your family moved to the town, and there's usually no one in the yard, hehe! ”
The old lady handed over the water bowl: "Sister Fei, I'm tired of you!" ”
"Hehe, no, no, neighbor, it should be!" The old lady took a bowl and drank two sips, and then sat down, the old lady asked a sentence and she replied, if you don't speak, she will hold the bowl and drink water, so grinding for a while, people didn't say to leave, you are not good to drive people!
Ling'er's eyes rolled: "Mother, there is still rice cooking in the pot, go and take a look!" ”
"Ahh Still boiling? Don't be confused! The old lady ran a few steps and stopped, and Mrs. Fei quickly stood up: "Oh, you are busy, you are busy, don't worry about me, I'm fine, I... I'll just drink some water! ”
The old lady was worried about the pot, so she ran away in a hurry after two sorry sounds, and Mrs. Fei sat back again, still without any intention of leaving! (To be continued)
