Going to Gu Jiawa is also a big deal for Qiao Mutou's family.

In a place like Lijia Village, it is already a great deal to be able to walk across the Anlan Bridge to the neighboring village to talk about a kiss or something, and some native villagers may only spend their entire lives wandering around the village in front of and behind the village.

Therefore, the three Yunying sisters and brothers all seemed very excited. Engen and Man'er were simply happy, so happy that they couldn't sleep after tossing and turning all night; Yun Ying didn't sleep all night, and she couldn't help imagining what the vast world beyond Anlan Bridge was like? What kind of prosperous place is Baijiaji? Can she help the Guan Ping family do a good job in the prey trade?

Gu Banniang and Qiao Mutou in the other room also slept very late, and Qiao Mutou held a temporary household guide issued by the village chief, on which the names and ages of a family of five were written; He didn't know how to read, but holding this thin piece of paper had an urge to cry.

Gu Banniang poured the foot-washing water and turned around, he was still in the dark looking at the coarse yellow paper without changing his movements, and couldn't help but urge softly: "Brother Mu, what are you looking at?" "What can a blind man see in a house without an oil lamp?

Qiao Mutou's body moved, sighed, and handed the paper to Gu Banniang without thinking too much: "You take it." ”

Gu Banniang rubbed her hands on her clothes, "Is this appropriate?" That being said, her hand was already faster than her mouth to take over the temporary household introduction, although it was only a temporary household introduction, but whoever held it represented who was the head of the family, and Qiao Mutou was pleasing her by doing so.

"Let's rest, I'll get up early tomorrow." Qiao Mutou actually wanted to ask Gu Banniang why he would think about taking the three children back to his parents' house, these three children are not only far roots but also a trace of love for him, Yun Ying and Man'er are equivalent to two invisible people, and he is a little unaccustomed to getting along with two daughters who have never paid attention; It's just that he's not used to putting the words of his heart into words.

Fortunately, he is not used to putting his inner words into words, otherwise Yun Ying and Man'er are afraid that they will die prematurely on their trip, because Gu Banniang's proposal to take them back to her parents' house is mostly out of Yue's advice, and if a stepmother wants to gain a foothold in the new home, it is important to please the man. Qiao Mutou is a taciturn man who can't guess his preferences, but three children are his blood, so it's always right to please him. But if Qiao Mutou showed a little reluctance to approach the two daughters, I believe Gu Banniang would not hesitate to change her mind.

I had to go out at the end of the day, and the family packed up and went out at the end of the ugly time. Gu Banniang baked ten cakes when she cleaned up last night, put pots and bowls and other things in a back basket, when she went out, Yun Ying knocked on the door of the Guan family and placed them at Guan Ping's house, and when she came out, she looked at Qiao Mutou and Gu Banniang standing at the intersection and carefully changing the appearance of the wind, I really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and finally sighed secretly in my heart, and pulled Yuan Gen and Man'er, who were on the side of the door, to catch up with the footsteps of the two adults.

The location of Anlan Bridge is in the middle of the whole Lijia Village, and the bridge head is facing the magnificent mud-tiled house of the village chief's house, and the tall door looks majestic and tall in the slightly dark sky in the early morning. Yun Ying had heard from the Yang family that Village Chief Li was the cousin of Landlord Li in the town, and was responsible for helping Landlord Li manage the lease and harvest of the 100 acres of fertile land on the other side, so the family was quite wealthy.

Tomorrow is the day of the gathering, and there are only three or four people who go to the town today, and coincidentally, Qiao Langtou and his son are also there.

Qiao Qi is twenty-six years old this year and is in the prime of life, and the family is living a good life with the ox married by his wife Li, so he greeted Qiao Mutou with a smile: "I also said that if Brother Mutou doesn't come, I will go to the house to greet him." He nodded to Gu Banniang and called softly, "Sister-in-law of wood", and then patted Yuangen's head and greeted Yun Ying: "Yun Ying can look at Yuangen and Man'er, go to your mother's house to know the etiquette." ”

"Got it, Uncle Qi." The Yang family is full of heartiness and warmth, but I don't know if Uncle Quan, who works outside all the year round, is also so enthusiastic. Yun Ying agreed while carefully looking at the structure of the ox cart.

The style was somewhat similar to the hand-pulled scooters she had seen for small moving companies, but the front had been changed to a scalper with a smooth hair. The board car is about 1.5 meters wide and 2 meters long, and when you take the car, your buttocks sit on the edge of the board, and your feet hang outside, so that you can sit a dozen people when you squeeze it; There are people sitting on both sides, and there is an aisle more than two feet wide in the middle of the back, which is just right to put down the back basket or to sit for children.

Yun Ying was a child, and was jokingly placed in the middle by a few adults, Qiao Qi whipped a whip, the ox snorted and walked slowly, and the wooden wheels ran over the stone bridge, making a creaking sound.

There were not many adults in the car, they were all from the same village, and they didn't stop talking when they started walking, one moment it was the harvest of crops, and the other time it was a novelty in the town; Yun Ying listened with relish.

Only then did I know that Landlord Li's family seemed to have so much land in the village, and it was nothing in Baijiaji; However, Li's landlord's family is not bad, whether it is repairing houses or taking care of business, the people of Lijia Village are preferred; The four people in this car, including Qiao Langtou and his son, were going to Landlord Li's house in Baijia Market Town to help their family build a set of furniture. The reason is that the landlord Li has another concubine.

Speaking of the topic of concubines, men are always endless, Qiao Qi glanced at Yunying's three sisters and brothers in the car, and couldn't help coughing heavily in front of the car several times, but seeing that there was going to be a glimmer of heaven, these people were still discussing which landlord's family in the town had more concubines, and they even talked about the door of the ** family in the town, that is, the Zhuang family had no money or something; Qiao Qi couldn't sit still, turned around and said:

"You should pay attention to what you say, but don't teach Yuanhong badly."

Gu Banniang had already huddled beside Qiao Mutou with Man'er in her arms and pretended to be asleep, and she was slightly relieved when she heard this; I never thought that Qiao Lang slapped his son on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, Yuanhong is not a teenage hairy boy, and he should know what he should know." Let's go on, I see that there is still an hour, how can I do it without saying something. ”

"Aren't there three smaller ones over there?" Qiao Qi was helpless, and pouted in the direction of Yuangen and Yunying with his mouth.

"What are you afraid of, children don't have ears." Qiao Hammer sneered a little scoundrelly: "I also know the ** that Third Brother Dong said just now, and I have also seen someone in our village come out of her courtyard, but I don't know whether to look for ** or her mother-in-law." ”

So, a new round of yellow jokes began, and Yun Ying lost interest in listening, and turned to pay attention to the surrounding environment.

The ox cart went out of the Anlan Bridge, and walked through the fertile field of the Li landlord's house, and entered the mountain road called "a line of sky", the left and right sides are up to several zhang of cliffs, the branches are horizontal, and you can only faintly see a fish-belly white skyline at the bottom, no wonder it is called "a line of sky".

The first line of the sky is about two miles long, after walking out of the first line of the sky, it seems that the eyes are suddenly brightened a lot, and you can faintly see that the left and right sides of the road are flat fields, and there are gradually undulating hills and mountains and forests far away, and there are still simple and quiet villages where you can still rely on the mountains and forests, and there are occasionally several large and small yards in the flat fields.

didn't go out of two miles, there was a pavilion with wooden pillars and grass hut roof on the side of the road, and there was a fat woman standing in it with a bamboo basket in her hand and a headscarf on her head. As he spoke, he stopped the ox cart.
