Fox Lixiang and the others are not strange, since the last time Thirteen went to the dry land to help work, everyone knows that Fox Xiaomei likes to pick thirteen's thorns the most. Thirteen took care of the work of several people, and wet all the trousers and shoes, and in the end he was not well done by Fox Xiaomei.

Wei Qingbao suppressed the strangeness in his heart.

The fox fence had already rushed over.

"Sister, what are you doing here?"

"It's back!" Fox Xiaomei looked at the fox fence with a smile, and greeted Wei Qingbao again: "Brother Qingbao hasn't seen you for a long time." Get up and give the stool you were sitting on to Wei Qingbao.

The stuffy feeling in Wei Qingbao's chest suddenly swept away, and he looked at Hu Xiaomei with a smile: "You're tired, sit down." I heard from the fence that you have been very busy these days, and I don't have time to come to see you when I go out with my father these days, otherwise I can help. ”

Hearing this, Hu Xiaomei knew that the fox fence had told Wei Qingbao about the down jacket, and she said with a smile: "I just finished it this afternoon, if you can't help at home, what can you do with this woman's needlework?" ”

Wei Qingbao scratched his head embarrassedly, he really couldn't do needlework. Pointing to the cloth bag in Thirteen's hand, he asked strangely, "What are you doing here?" ”

It just so happened that Thirteen had already finished checking the last bag of eiderdown.

"It's done, it's all dry." During the two days she took out all the eiderdown cloth bags and hung them under the eaves, and put them all in the house before dark. lest it get foggy.

So, it's not surprising that the eiderdown in this bag is dry. Fox Xiaomei is afraid that the weather will be cold and too humid.

"Now that we're done with the inspection, let's move all the eiderdown into the house."

There was a special space in the hall and wooden planks. Place the eiderdown cloth bag on top of it just right. Thirteen held two bags of duck down in one hand and put them away one by one, and Wei Qingbao couldn't help but help when he saw it.

Hu Xiaomei hurriedly stopped him: "How can you let you work when you come, there are not many, just move by thirteen people." After saying that, I seemed to feel that it was wrong, and thirteen outsiders couldn't be so casually commanded by her to work. She glanced at the fox fence and said, "Little San, you also go to help." ”

took the cloth bag in Wei Qingbao's hand to the fox fence. Fox Fence was thinking about the gadgets Wei Qingbao said, but at this time, he still had a little bit of eyes. Patience and Thirteen finished moving the row of cloth bags under the eaves. Thirteen didn't say a word, didn't complain, let him do whatever he wanted.

Hu Xiaomei insisted, Wei Qingbao is not good to say anything. In a blink of an eye, he saw Hu Xiaomei standing in front of him. The two were just right to talk. He was suddenly in a better mood again. Busy with the things I bought outside and show them to Fox Xiaomei.

A small rectangular wooden box, which looks very ordinary.

Hu Xiaomei glanced at him suspiciously, and found that Wei Qingbao was looking at her. The expression was especially serious and a little nervous.

She smiled slightly, opened the box, there was a piece of paper rolled inside, Hu Xiaomei was puzzled, and when she opened it, she immediately opened her mouth in surprise.

It turned out that it was a small portrait of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, with a small braid, big eyes bright and bright, and the corners of her mouth curved like a smile, this is not who she is!

"Brother Qingbao, this is what you painted?" Fox Xiaomei said.

"Do you like it?" Wei Qingbao looked excited and didn't answer the rhetorical question. Although he could guess by looking at Hu Xiaomei's expression, he still wanted to hear her say it herself.

Hu Xiaomei nodded: "I like it." Then he asked, "Who painted it?" ”

"That day, I met a person who drew a picture for others, and I thought he drew a picture for you very well, and I gave it to you." Wei Qingbao said with a smile.

Fox Xiaomei showed a sure expression. She said how could Wei Qingbao be a portrait. Wei Qingbao scratched his head embarrassedly: "I heard that this painting is going to be scrolled, and then hung in the house, it must be very beautiful, I will go to the market in two days to inquire and see where I can frame it." ”

"No need." Hu Xiaomei shook her head: "Don't be so troublesome, if you want, help me make a frame out of dry wood, and I'll frame it." It's even more straightforward! "There is no need to let Wei Qingbao spend money anymore.

Wei Qingbao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and when the time came, he carved some flowers on the edge of the frame, and this painting became a unique one.

Hurriedly nodded and responded: "Okay, I'll go find a good piece of wood tomorrow." ”

Fox Xiaomei looked at the small portrait in the painting is really satisfied, and her heart keeps admiring the wisdom of the ancients, there are many modern portraits, oil paintings, paintings, and sketches. And in ancient times, only one brush could be used to draw such a expressive painting, and the painting skills were not ordinarily high.

Wei Qingbao gave her this thing is really good, she really likes it.

Seeing that the fox Xiaomei carefully put away the painting. After looking at the fox fence silently for a while, he asked Wei Qingbao: "Brother Qingbao, didn't you say that you brought good things for me?" ”

"Of course." Wei Qingbao found out another thing, it was a very delicate slingshot, the fox fence couldn't help himself, tried to play it, not only good-looking, but also very easy to use, he happily thanked Wei Qingbao.

The fox fence was very happy to get the things sent by Wei Qingbao, and the fox Xiaomei endured and endured it in her heart, not wanting to spoil his interest, but in the end she still didn't control her mouth.

"Are you happy to be like this with just a slingshot? Besides, you can make this thing by yourself, didn't Thirteen make one for you last time? Why did you ask Brother Qingbao to buy you a new one? Is this a thing to be bought for money? You really are, too. ”

"Why can't you buy it? Didn't you also ask Brother Qingbao to draw a picture for you? Fox Fence said unconvinced.

Boys love to play with these things.

Fox Xiaomei choked, the portrait was not something she asked Wei Qingbao to buy, but it still cost money.

"Anyway, you can do this thing on your own, and you won't be allowed to do it again. You give the silver to Brother Qingbao. ”

When she first came to this place, Wei Qingbao often sent things to her, at that time, Hu Xiaomei didn't feel anything, and when she first came to deceive her to have a friend, she felt that it was not easy, after a long time, she felt that she couldn't do it anymore, Bai Hua Wei Qingbao's silver, not to mention the favors, Wei Qingbao was not easy to earn silver.

Wei Qingbao would ask for the silver of the fox fence, but he didn't know how to say that the fox was charming, so he had to play a round on both sides: "You don't have to say anything about giving me money, we are all good friends, how can I ask you to give money if I send something." Also, don't say anything about returning my things. With that, he pretended to keep a straight face.

Fox Xiaomei didn't know what to do for a while.

But she has already said it, is it difficult to return things without silver?

But she really liked this painting, but at this time, Thirteen, who had been standing by silently, suddenly said, "I can paint." ”

The three of them looked at him in unison.

"I can paint a portrait." Thirteen eyes didn't blink, looked at Hu Xiaomei and repeated.

After Hu Xiaomei was stunned for two seconds, the hatred in her heart, she couldn't wait to sew up the mouth of the master who shouldn't speak, who let you speak, who asked you to draw, she liked this one in her hand. The painting in my hand suddenly became a hot potato.

Just now, she also said righteously that she couldn't ask for Wei Qingbao's things in vain, and she wanted to return Wei Qingbao's silver. In the case that Wei Qingbao insisted on not wanting to, she had already planned to accept it, but who knew that someone suddenly told everyone that he would also paint a portrait. So what is this asking her to do? Return the portrait to Wei Qingbao, and then let this nerd help her paint?

The fox Xiaomei wanted to cry without tears.

Fortunately, the fox fence didn't raise the bar this time, he glared at the eventful Thirteen, and said, "You can't remember anything in your head, what else can you draw?" I haven't read the book for two days, what can you draw? Really, don't fool around. ”

Fox Xiaomei looked at the fox fence with a slight admiration in her eyes, and she didn't know if this kid was enlightened today, and she actually knew what she was thinking.

The fox fence gave her a look, he really thinks he is a fool, his second sister wants to return the portrait to Wei Qingbao, then he has to return the slingshot!

And Wei Qingbao saw that the fox fence was counting thirteen, and most of the unhappiness in his heart dissipated, and the fox Xiaomei and the fox fence naturally accepted the things in the end, but he only brought two things this time, and if there was no fox fence incense, he had to be said a few words by the fox fence incense.

In the evening, Fox Dayou and Wei Sanniang left Wei Qingbao for dinner, originally he was going back, but Wei Sanniang persuaded him several times to stay, and Thirteen seemed to have signs of staying for dinner, so he agreed.

Because of the down jacket business, dinner was lively. After dinner, Thirteen went back to Weijia Town alone, and seeing Thirteen leave, Wei Qingbao also followed back to Weijia Village.

As soon as the two left, Wei Sanniang called Hu Xiaomei into the house, and then told her seriously: "Don't accept Qingbao's things in the future." ”

Hu Xiaomei glanced at Wei Sanniang, raised the portrait in her hand, and said, "This is the last time." ”

Hu Xiaomei agreed happily, and Wei Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief. Later, when she was in the kitchen, Hu Dayou quietly asked her, "Told the second child?" ”

Wei Sanniang nodded: "The second child responded, but I'm afraid that Qingbao's child will still be like this in the future." ”

"Eh, if you want me to say that everything will go naturally, you are thinking too much." Fox Otomo said.

"You know what!" Wei Sanniang glared at him, thinking of the words of Hu Xiaomei's grandmother Kong Shi, and her heart was blocked: "...... I really thought she was great, she was just a stepmother, and she was very lenient...... However, the child was a thoughtful and capable person, and it turned out that I still had that idea, and after listening to my mother's words, I thought that I had to find a real mother-in-law for my daughter, not a stepmother-in-law. ”

It turned out that when Kong and Wei Dahe came to the house that day, before leaving, Kong told Wei Sanniang Wei Qingbao's stepmother Liushi to say some gossip about Hu Xiaomei. It's nothing more than because Wei Qingbao often comes to her house to help, and Wei Qingzhu, the son of the Biliu clan, is lazy, and Wei Shiming naturally values this eldest son more on weekdays. Liu's heart was not happy, so he wanted to find Wei Qingbao's fault everywhere, and later saw Wei Qingbao's thoughts about Hu Xiaomei, so he counted Wei Qingbao in front of Wei Shiming, and said some unpleasant things about Hu Xiaomei.

Those words were heard by people with a heart and told to Kong.

Wei Sanniang and Fox Dayou originally thought that Wei Qingbao was good, filial and capable, but if Fox Xiaomei married such a mother-in-law in the past, she would not have to be pinched all day long. So the two of them had little thought about Wei Qingbao, and they treated her as a nephew in the next room.

Without that thought, Wei Qingbao's things Hu Xiaomei naturally couldn't ask for it anymore. (To be continued......)
