While the two were talking, Hu Xiaomei left the river and watched the old lady Zhou kill chickens at the door of Zhou's house for a while. Bloody blood was sprinkled all over the ground, and the whose throat was cut had not yet died, fluttering its wings, hanging its head, jumping around on the ground half-dead, splashing a lot of sand and stones in the bowl where Old Lady Zhou was filled with chicken blood.

The rooster still didn't give up, crooked his neck, threw his head and threw himself at Mrs. Zhou's feet, stained Mrs. Zhou's cloth shoes with blood, and finally died unwillingly.

Old lady Zhou hurriedly picked up the bowl containing chicken blood, took a rag to wipe the sand and soil around the bowl, stared at the bowl for a long time, and finally pulled the fox Xiaomei and said, "Fence, come and help me see if there is sand and gravel in this chicken blood?" ”

Fox Xiaomei leaned over her head, and the bright red bowl of chicken blood exuded a fishy smell, and the surface was a little gray, but there was no sand and gravel.

Mrs. Zhou said, "Fortunately." After putting the bowl away, he glanced at the chicken blood on his shoes, and then folded his hands in the direction of the western sky, closed his eyes and reverently recited two sentences: "Amitabha, sin, sin!" ”

He also mentioned the dead rooster on the ground, and looked sad: "Chicken, chicken, it's not that I want to kill you, it's that you are sick." I wanted to sell you for some copper plates, but someone wanted to eat you. In the next life, you don't want to be an animal anymore, that's a cheap life! He wiped the handle with the rag in his hand and began to complain: "Someone is greedy, and he prefers me to bear this life debt!" ”

Then throw the chicken into the pot and go into the house to get hot water and pluck the chicken feathers.

It just so happened that Zhou Chengqi caught two big fish in the river, and today he didn't know how to figure it out, so he brought one over to Mrs. Zhou and Old Man Zhou.

Old lady Zhou came out of the yard, Zhou Chengqi just came over with fish, old woman Zhou asked him suspiciously: "You don't eat?" What about your daughter-in-law? ”

Zhou Chengqi smiled honestly: "There is another one here!" Wang went to town. ”

After Zhou Chengqi left, the old lady Zhou looked at the lively fish and sighed: "It's really the sun coming out in the west." Treating Hu Xiaomei as if she was her own granddaughter, she nagged: "...... If it weren't for the fact that my old bones could still move, I'm afraid I would have to beg for food a long time ago......"

The three sons of the Zhou family, the old lady Zhou and the two husbands and wives live with the eldest son, but the eldest daughter-in-law has a brain disease, and can only rely on orders to do some hard work on weekdays, and nothing else can be done; The second son, Zhou Chengneng, has some money, and the family lives in a small town and rarely comes back; The youngest son Zhou Chengqi is an authentic farmer, married Wang after the separation, although Wang is a countryman, but since he was a child, he has learned embroidery, very good at embroidering things, in this small town, embroidery work is very good, so, although she does not work in the field on weekdays, but the silver she takes every month for embroidering things is enough for a family to live, Zhou Chengqi did not care about her.

raised three sons, all of them became families, but they were in charge of their own affairs, and the old lady and the old couple of Zhou relied on themselves to grow some vegetables, grow some crops, eat and drink, and get by.

Today, Zhou Chengqi suddenly sent a fish over, which was also a sudden filial piety, and he took advantage of Wang's absence.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Fox Xiaomei is glad for her mother, there is no in-laws, and there is no concubine, otherwise she will be picked if she is not thoughtful in any place.

Of course, the big family of the fox family said something else!

I went to the river for a walk, and stood in front of Zhou's house for a while, at this time it was almost mid-time, and it was estimated that it would not be long before I touched the fox fence incense and should go back, the fox Xiaomei walked in the direction of home, turned the corner and almost collided with the fox fence cloud and the flower peony who were standing in the corner of the wall and talking.

It's really not a good day to go out, and the secrets in the corners can be met one after another. Hu Xiaomei decided that Ming'er must first look at the yellow calendar when she goes out.

Hua Peony's eyes are raised, her eyes are angry, her chin is raised, and her face is arrogant; And the fox hedge bit his lower lip, stared at his eyes, and the willow eyebrows on both sides were upside down, with a ruthless face.

Fox Xiaomei's face flashed with embarrassment, and then greeted the two casually: "Cousin Yun, cousin Hua." Bypassing the two of them, he wanted to leave, but was stopped by Fox Liyun: "Why is Sister Lijing going?" ”

Fox Xiaomei turned around, pursed her mouth, smiled shyly at Fox Liyun, and said in a meek voice: "I'm planning to go home and cook!" Is there something wrong with Cousin Yun? ”

The fox fence cloud's eyebrows are slightly curved, his eyes are smiling, and the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned, a gentle and graceful picture, as if he has returned to normal. If it weren't for Hu Xiaomei seeing it with her own eyes just now, how could she connect this gentle and polite cousin with the person who was struggling just now.

"Sister Fence is really capable." Fox Liyun smiled and praised: "Lixiang is at home, and I even want you to help cook." ”

Hua Peony stood aside with cold eyes, as if smiling.

Hu Xiaomei didn't seem to understand what she meant at all, and smiled shyly: "Yes, my mother often taught me not to be lazy, not only to know how to respect the old and love the young, but also to be a person who understands the general situation." Just like Cousin Yun...... "with a look of admiration and envy: "Cousin Yun is not only beautiful, knowledgeable, capable, and knows a lot, but also gentle, ladylike, she even speaks gently and softly on weekdays, and she will definitely be able to find a good family in the future...... It's like my sister, it's a big voice......"

The fox fence cloud's face turned red, and she just got angry at the flower peony, and now she will praise her for her gentleness, isn't this deliberately sarcastic her? What do you say about finding a good family, thinking of what happened in the courtyard of Fox Yingtian in the morning, she was so angry that her chest fell together, and the fox Xiaomei had a pure face, which made her have a seizure again.

Hua Peony secretly shouted on the side, and at the same time it was strange that Fox Xiaomei, this little girl, could say such a thing today, but her soft and weak appearance stabbed Fox Liyun all over her body, and she didn't know if she was unintentional or intentional.

And Hu Liyun simply thought that Hu Xiaomei was instigated by others, how could a little girl who was afraid of things understand the twists and turns in her words just now, and said a bunch of words to mock her. Therefore, she decided that these words must have been taught by Fox Fence Xiang.

Secretly exhaled, Fox Liyun put on a pleasant look again: "Sister Lijing is really good at talking today!" Then he made a serious face: "How can a little girl say anything about marrying someone or not, are you ashamed?" ”

Hu Xiaomei looked at her with big watery eyes: "Cousin, I didn't say you got married, I just said that you can find a good family." ”

Fox Liyun gritted his teeth: "Marrying is not the same thing as finding a good family!" ”

"How could it be the same thing. Marrying someone is marrying, finding a good family is finding a good family, isn't this not married yet! "Fox Xiaomei is correcting seriously.

Hu Liyun almost vomited blood, but he felt that his breath was uneven, and he didn't want to say this anymore: "Cousin, I want to ask you, when you came out to look for your father this morning, did you tell anyone else if you heard me talking to your cousin?" ”

Hu Xiaomei blinked suspiciously, pouted, and said, "Cousin Yun, what are you talking about?" How can I possibly remember all the things you said today? Besides, if you talk to your cousin, I'll tell others what to do, and I don't care about my business! ”

This little girl always makes people want to be angry when she talks today.

Fox Liyun suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and smiled reluctantly: "Cousin just asked you." Don't look at the dazzling peony meaningfully, and instruct Hu Xiaomei: "You remember, you are not allowed to tell others about today's events, not even your mother and your sister." ”

Hu Xiaomei nodded, then grabbed her hair again, and said in a tangled way: "What if my father asks me?" ”

The fox fence was angry and said angrily: "You are stupid! "Why didn't I think the fox was stupid before. In order to appease Hu Xiaomei, she said kind words: "Your father is a man, we are women, how can we tell a man about the matter between women, it is a little secret between us." ”

This is quite reasonable, Hu Xiaomei nodded in agreement, and asked Hu Liyun: "Then what if my mother asks?" ”

Fox Lixiang really wanted to slap her ear scraper: "Didn't you just say that you can't sue your mother?" ”

The fox narrowed her mouth and raised her eyebrows.

What a cowardly person, can't he tell a little lie?

Fox Liyun reluctantly took out a piece of candy from his purse and stuffed it into Fox Xiaomei's hand: "This is what my father bought for me at the market two days ago, and now I will give it to you, if your mother asks, you will say that I will give you candy to eat!" ”

Hu Xiaomei pinched the soft candy and smiled happily: "Cousin, this method is good, I know, don't worry, I won't sue anyone." ”

Peel the candy wrapper aside and throw the soft sugar into your mouth, which is sweet, soft and chewy! It's delicious!

Fox Xiaomei puffed out her cheeks, waved with the fox Liyun and Hua Peony with a smile, and left.
