27

As a direct consequence of this, the two slept back to back for the night, separated by a distance of more than two feet. When she got up in the morning, Yang Liu found that she was stiff, she bared her teeth, she had never slept so well, and now she set a precedent.

Across the high threshold of the stove room, Li Cong and Yang Liu are one inside and one outside.

Li Cong got out of the way first: "Lady, please." ”

Yang Liu also blessed his body: "Xianggong, please first." ”

Xiuxiu looked at the two of them strangely and let go there, isn't it just the threshold, who goes first is different? She crossed the two of them in two or three steps, and beckoned Yang Liu to come out quickly.

Yang Liu's head was full of black lines, crossed the threshold, and quickly pulled Xiuxiu's arm: "Xiuxiu, I haven't been to the second uncle's house yet, you accompany me to the second uncle's house to sit down." ”

Xiuxiu nodded, the second uncle is their only relative in the tunzi, and Yang Liu has really not seen it since he entered the door. It's time to recognize the door, she looked at Li Cong, thinking about whether to call the fifth brother together.

Yang Liu had already brought two hats, one on his head, and the other handed to Xiuxiu. When the hat was fastened on his head, Yang Liu realized how prescient he was, combed a child behind his left ear, and did not worry about messing up his hair.

"Lady, you wait." Li Cong came out with a shovel, and the shovel was still filled with firewood ash. I saw him put his hands behind his back, and when he pushed forward, most of the firewood ash flew out in a straight line, flying with a puff of ash.

Xiuxiu was tying the rope under her chin, and when she saw this, she winked at Yang Liu and whispered, "Sister-in-law, my brother is really good to you." "Isn't this afraid that the willow will fall, and Li Congcai deliberately raised the firewood ashes. It's not very useful, but it's better than nothing. Seeing that Li Cong was going to shovel ashes, Yang Liu hurriedly stopped him, even if he didn't get mud in the yard, it was still inevitable to get out of the yard, but Li Cong's heart, Yang Liu took it.

Yang Liu took the initiative to speak: "Let's go to the second uncle's house, if you're okay, come with us." ”

"You go over with Xiuxiu today, I still have a few things to repair in my hand, and I have to take advantage of these days to get them done. It's going to get busy on a sunny day, and I'm afraid I won't have enough time. Li Cong shook his head.

Yang Liu nodded, no longer reluctantly, and pulled Xiuxiu onto the firewood gray road.

"Sister-in-law, don't you go out on a rainy day, what are we going to do at the second uncle's house?" Xiuxiu asked Yang Liu while being careful about her step.

"Didn't the second uncle hurt his foot a few days ago, let's go see how he is." After saying that, Yang Liu secretly screamed that it was bad, and he forgot to mention something about this visit. She thought about it, and realized that she had nothing to take at all, except for the meal on duty that day, she could call the shots, and everything else had to be asked by He. It turns out that she is so miserable.

Xiuxiu was leading the way, but her steps suddenly stopped, causing Yang Liu to almost hit it. She took Yang Liu's hand and said nervously: "Second uncle hurt his foot, what did you do, why don't I know?" ”

Li Dahe is more like a father to Xiuxiu and Li Cong, and it is no wonder that she is so nervous. Yang Liu briefly talked about the events of that day.

"I should have mentioned a hen if I knew I should have done so." Xiuxiu pouted, looked back at the road again, and seemed to have made up her mind, "Sister-in-law, you wait for me here, I'll come when I go." ”

Xiuxiu was in a hurry, Yang Liu didn't have time to say anything more, she had already run away. Gotcha, be careful not to get your shoes dirty all the way, run two steps and it's all over. Yang Liu looked around, standing under the eaves of a nearby family to hide from the rain, the rain was not heavy, but dense, blown by the breeze, it was biased into an oblique line. She took off the hat on her head, blocked it in front of her, and turned the hat to watch the raindrops fly out.

"Woo, Wang-"

Yang Liu reflexively straightened his spine, and the hat in his hand fell to the ground with a snap. No way, there is a shadow in my heart, who told her that she was bitten by a dog when she was a child.

At that time, it was the time when the rape flowers were at their worst, she went to her grandmother's house on vacation, and her grandmother repeatedly told her not to go out to play, and to stay away when she met a dog, why? My grandmother said that it was the season of rape flowers, and there were many bees, and if the bees stung the dog, the dog would go crazy, and if it was bitten by a rabid dog, it would get rabies, and eventually it would go crazy. At that time, my grandmother said very well, and gave a lot of examples, although she didn't know any of them, but Yang Liu really took it to heart, for fear that she would drool if she was bitten by a dog, and eat her own hands. So her first reaction to being bitten by a dog was not pain, but that she was going crazy too.

Right now

Yang Liu turned his face pale, stiffened his neck, and turned his head little by little, but saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man, holding her hat that had been stained with mud in one hand, and the rope around the dog's neck with the other: "May I ask my sister-in-law that you are?" asked while handing over the hat, and deliberately facing the side stained with mud to himself, so that Yang Liu would not get mud when he took it.

She glanced at the man a few times, his skin was very white, sven, and he looked a little shy. Yang Liu searched her brain and couldn't remember that there was such a person in the tun, although she didn't know many people now, and she didn't know how to answer well, she smiled stiffly, and took the hat tremblingly, while still paying attention to the dog that might pounce at any time, "Thank you." ”

"Ah, it's the sister-in-law of the Li family." A crisp female voice came from behind the man, and then Yang Liu saw a girl about the same age as Xiuxiu standing up from behind the man.

Yang Liu was embarrassed: "May I ask who you are?" "It's embarrassing, she doesn't know either of them.

There are so many people in a tun, and Yang Liu has just been married, so it's normal not to know them. The girl smiled kindly: "My name is Li Cuicui, this is my brother Li Dayong, where is my sister-in-law going?" Come in and take shelter from the rain. ”

The man named Li Dayong also quickly turned sideways and got out of the way.

"No, no, no." Yang Liu shook his head again and again, and looked at the dog that was still barking with palpitations: "I'm waiting for Xiuxiu here, she went home and will be back soon." ”

She found that the dog was not stupid, the owner was present, it was pulling the dog leash around its neck, and it barked harder than usual. But you're kind to me, no, I didn't steal from you!

Finding that Yang Liu was aiming at the dog in his hand several times, Li Dayong understood, nodded with a smile and pulled the dog leash and walked home, ready to find a place far away to tie the dog up. I have to say that Yang Liu is really relieved.

"Sister Xiuxiu." Li Cuicui said very loudly, as if she was deliberately saying it to someone, and as soon as the words fell, she stepped forward and hugged Yang Liu's arm affectionately: "Sister-in-law, sit in the house for a while, we are about the same age." ”

"I still have to wait for Xiuxiu." Li Cuicui is embarrassed here, but Yang Liu is embarrassed, if Xiuxiu can't see herself, she will definitely be in a hurry, and it's not good to step on someone else's house with this foot of mud.

"What's this, let my brother watch it here, it's all in a tunzi, and I won't admit it wrong, just tell her." Cuicui's Chong Li Dayong raised his voice: "Brother, right." ”

Li Dayong had already leashed the dog, blushed, and said, "Yes." ”

Li Dayong has no problem here, Cuicui looked at Yang Liu again, "Sister-in-law, let's go." ”

"Alright then, I'm sorry for you." Yang Liu rubbed the mud on his shoes on the weeds on the side of the road before he followed.

The earthen wall tile roof, the courtyard dam is also paved with stones, and a pomegranate tree is planted, the whole small courtyard is cleaned up neatly, and the willow is envious and slanderous, look, this is the benefit of less birth.

Li Cuicui directly pulled Yang Liu onto the kang in her boudoir, "Sister-in-law, sit down." ”

"I'd better visit my uncle and aunt first." As soon as Yang Liu's buttocks were next to the kang, he immediately sat up, and when he went to someone's house, he had to see the master first.

"My eldest brother just came back today, my father and mother are not at home, I went to the town to buy wine and food, and my sister-in-law will not leave for a while, and I will talk about lunch at my house."

"Ah, no, no, I really have something to do, I'll leave when Xiuxiu comes, don't be so troublesome." Yang Liu waved his hand: "Cuicui, I understand your kindness, I really don't have to be so polite." ”

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be polite to me. Everyone lives in a tunli, and it is not far away, so you have to help at any time. Relatives near and far are estranged, and if you usually move around more, your feelings will be deep. Li Cuicui smiled and grabbed a few handfuls of melon seeds on the kang table with a plate, and moved towards Yang Liu, motioning for her to take it.

Yang Liu was not polite, grabbed a small handful and put it in his hand, "The help of the villagers should also be." ”

Li Cuicui's boudoir and Xiuxiu's boudoir are almost furnished, and they are also cleaned up. There is a small window on the wall, and there is a blue and white porcelain vase with a thin mouth on the dresser not far from the small window, and there are several peach blossoms with water droplets inserted in it. The mud wall with such a small window looks out of place, but it shows the love of Li's father and mother for Li Cuicui.

Li Cuicui has a sharp temperament, is hospitable, and has a sweet mouth, and after talking for a while, she pulls Yang Liu to do embroidery work together. How could Yang Liu have that skill, poking a needle in the east and a line in the west, and fidgeting for a long time before waiting for Xiuxiu to come in.

"Xiuxiu, you're here, let's go." Yang Liu immediately got up and went out, my relatives, I'm going to cry if I don't come again.

"Don't go, Sister Xiuxiu and sister-in-law must have dinner at my house at noon today." Cuicui stood between the two of them, holding one person's arm in one hand and not letting go.

Yang Liu shook his head, opened his mouth and was about to refuse, but Xiuxiu spoke: "Then we will bother with a thick face." ”

Ga? What's the situation, Xiuxiu, we are going to the second uncle's house.

Yang Liu felt that her eyes were about to blink, and Xiuxiu accepted her code, but she only glanced at Yang Liu, then lowered her head and discussed needlework with Cuicui. Yang Liu's heart was suddenly cool and cool, could it be that she and Xiuxiu also have a generation gap, and unmarried women can talk about each other?

Yang Liu felt that she should find something to say, she thought of Li Dayong's white skin, and asked: "Cuicui, your brother is also on an errand in the town?" ”

"No, my brother studied medicine with a rattle doctor, and he has been going for a few years, and he just came back today."

Walking the streets and alleys of the rattle doctor, Yang Liu has an image in his mind. Shaking his head, if the status of the barefoot doctor is low, then the rattle doctor is more like a liar. How could Li Dayong think of studying medicine with such a person?

"Sister-in-law, don't believe it, my eldest brother, this master really has some ability."

At that time, Li Dayong's mother suddenly contracted a vicious disease, vomited and diarrhea, and took all the medicines prescribed by doctors in the town to no avail. Seeing that he was about to die, he happened to meet a rattle doctor. At that time, Li Dayong was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and when he heard the bell ringing of the rattle doctor, he immediately went out and dragged him to see his mother. The doctor's parents were hearted, and the man was not angry, so he took the pulse to see a doctor, but asked Li Dayong to be his apprentice before prescribing the medicine. Yiduo is not pressing, and his own father Li also agrees. The rattle doctor shook his head, saying that he wanted to take him to the mountains to learn art, so that he could be away from the world and devote himself wholeheartedly. How could Daddy Li be willing, he would have a son and take it away to this person, who knows what will happen in the future. Li Dayong also hesitated, and gritted his teeth and agreed when he saw his wife being so painful.

Fortunately, the rattle doctor was not unkind, and promised to let Li Dayong go down the mountain in five years.

"That Dayong can be regarded as a graduate of the mountain." Yang Liu smiled: "It's good now, if you have a headache and brain fever in the future, you don't need to ask for a doctor from afar." When is your brother going to the clinic and opening his own pharmacy? ”

"This pharmacy can't be taken without a hundred taels of silver, and there is a doctor Zheng in the tun, and it is not easy to rob other people's business. My brother also said that he would go to the town's hospital for a few days to try, and he couldn't bury what he had learned. ”

Peers are enemies, Yang Liu expressed understanding.

Seeing that the two were chatting energetically, Xiuxiu pulled Cuicui's sleeve and signaled that she was going to the toilet. Li Cuicui nodded, although the relationship between the two is not as intimate as Xiuxiu and Hua Miao, it is not bad, Xiuxiu is also familiar with Li Cuicui's family, so naturally no one needs to lead the way, and Li Cuicui is not worried. So Yang Liu and Li Cuicui talked for a while.
