089 There are interesting people in the township
After Huangfu Jinghao and Chenxi walked out together, they immediately attracted the attention of the Zhao family: this man was wearing a very ordinary light blue robe, and his hair was only tied with a hairscarf of the same color, such an outfit was not conspicuous at all, it was obviously very ordinary, but he smiled faintly, but it made people feel in a trance.
And the woman is even more, with white skin like snow, delicate face, jet-black hair that makes people look scattered on their shoulders like in a painting, and a pair of eyes as bright as sapphire gaze over...... I saw her walking slowly and comfortably, bright and holy, and her demeanor was incomprehensible. The white clothes are reflected in everyone's eyes, so extraordinary!
In this village, it is true that they have never seen such an outstanding beauty, and the Zhao family has seen it straight.
It wasn't until the old woman coughed twice that everyone came back to their senses, Aunt Zhao glared at her husband, and greeted with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a beauty, no wonder Jing Gongzi cares so much, sit down, please sit down, coarse tea and light rice, please Mrs. Jing don't dislike it." β
Chenxi smiled slightly: "Aunt Zhao has worked hard to cook, how can she dislike it." β
So a table of nine people sat down and ate a meal quietly, she liked to be quiet when she ate in the morning and evening, she didn't speak, and the Zhao family naturally didn't want to talk nonsense, so they had a dinner in silence.
After dinner, it was already the bright moon rising into the sky.
Chenxi glanced at the bright moon in the courtyard, tonight is a semi-full moon, the scenery is still good.
"I want to go out for a walk."
The old woman glanced at Huangfu Jing Hao, "Jing Hao, you go to accompany Xi'er, don't fall if the black light is blind." β
"Yes."
Huangfu Jinghao accompanied Chenxi out of the small courtyard of the Zhao family, and the two of them walked on the country road one after the other. The nights in the countryside are very quiet.
This village is called Zhaojia Village, and most of the families in the village are registered with the surname Zhao. Of course, there are other surnames, but the number is smaller.
As he walked, Chenxi suddenly stopped, frowned, and said, "There are mosquitoes!" β
Forehead! Huangfu Jinghao was helpless, "That's the case, let's go back, let us go to the town tomorrow and buy some incense and come back." β
"Okay!"
It's a pity that Chenxi glanced at the endless country road, and thought that he would go again tomorrow.
The two returned to the Zhao family's courtyard. Seeing that the five members of the Zhao family were looking at the moon in the courtyard, the family was chatting happily. It's nothing more than who you saw when you went out today and what happened.
Seeing the two coming back in the morning and evening, Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "Master Jing, Mrs. Jing, are you back?" β
"Well, I'm tired, let's rest, Aunt Zhao, you talk slowly."
"Eh, okay."
Huangfu Jinghao led Chenxi into the room. Shut the door. I heard Zhao Dashen's whisper from the courtyard: "The child is his father, you see how much Jing Gongzi loves his wife!" β
"yes, she looks like a lady from a big family. the kids, did they really come out of the mountains? β
"I don't know, that's what they said anyway. It doesn't matter where they came from, anyway, they gave the silver, what does it matter, as long as they don't harm our family. β
β¦β¦
Chenxi lay on the bed and listened quietly, thinking about such a peaceful family life, she used to look forward to it, and hoped that one day her family would also be lively together, sitting in the yard and chatting, just say anything, it is short in the parents.
However, she never achieved it.
Sighing slightly, she fell asleep on her side, feeling that Huangfu Jinghao covered her back, and then lay quietly outside, and it didn't take long for the sound of even breathing to be heard.
Chenxi also quickly counted the sheep to sleep, dreamless all night, and when he woke up the next day, he found that Huangfu Jinghao was no longer around, and he tied his hair at random and walked out, only to see the old woman sitting in the yard, helping to wash the vegetables.
Seeing her come out, he asked with a smile, "Xi'er, did you sleep well last night?" β
"Very well, where's Grandma?"
"It's not bad, your grandfather and Jing Hao went hunting in the mountains."
"Oh."
The old woman looked at her kindly and said, "The well is over there, hurry up and wash up, and you can have breakfast later." ~β
"Okay."
Chenxi walked over to the well and looked at the well, which was very old-fashioned, hand-cranked barrel well. In fact, there are wells in modern villages, but modern water is fetched with iron or plastic buckets, which are much lighter and not as bulky as wooden barrels.
Reaching out to untie the rope, she threw the bucket into the water, and with a swing of the rope, filled half a bucket of water, and pulled it up directly with the rope.
"Mrs. Jing, I'll help you!" Aunt Zhao's daughter saw the situation and thought that Chenxi would not use it, so she hurried to help.
Chenxi carried the wooden bucket to the well and smiled, "It's okay, I'll fetch water." β
"Well, the basin and the handkerchiefβ"
Chenxi looked in the direction she pointed, sighed, the handkerchief looked used, and took out a handkerchief from his arms, "No need, I have my own." β
The daughter of the Zhao family was envious when she saw the soft silk handkerchief in her hand, it was so beautiful, and there were flowers embroidered on it!
"Xiaolan, come here to help!"
"Eh, mother, I'll come now." Zhao Xiaolan smiled shyly at Chenxi and trotted to the kitchen.
After washing up in the morning and evening, she felt that this place really needed to add some things, it was not good to be too simple, she had never advocated waste, but she definitely did not advocate making her life too embarrassing.
The old woman saw her come back thoughtfully and asked with a smile, "Xi'er, but you're not used to it?" β
"Yes, when Jing Hao comes back, let him go to the town to buy some things and come back!"
"Okay, let them go together, and buy more spare."
It didn't take long for Huangfu Jinghao and his grandfather to come back with a few hares and pheasants in one hand, which was considered to be a full load, and Aunt Zhao's eyes were straight, and she said that the two of them had good skills!
Huangfu Jinghao put things in a corner of the yard, "Aunt Zhao, these gifts should be regarded as additional dishes, please make every meal a little richer, most of these rabbits and pheasants are still alive, you can raise them first and eat them slowly." β
"Eh, okay, I'll take care of it!" Aunt Zhao happily pulled her daughter to separate the rabbits and pheasants into open cages, and the seriously injured ones stayed to prepare lunch and cook them.
The old woman looked at the two of them with satisfaction and said, "You two are not bad, it's just right, Xi'er wants some things, you have breakfast, let the big tiger kid take you to the town to buy some things and come back, and add some to everything that can be used." β
"Okay."
β¦β¦
On this day, Huangfu Jinghao had breakfast with the old man, and Zhao Dahu borrowed a carriage from a small landlord in the village and set off to go shopping in the town.
Chenxi was happy to wander leisurely in the countryside, of course, she was followed by Zhao Xiaohu.
"Sister Xi, why are you looking at the crops? There's nothing to see now, peanuts and everything have been harvested. β
"No, just go for a walk."
Looking around in the morning and evening, winter is really the season of recuperation, except for some unknown weeds growing on the ridges, the farmland is bare, and there are not a few weeds.
"Hey, isn't that Lamei?"
In the morning and evening, I saw a small piece of plum growing on a hillside on the village road, which seemed to be planted artificially.
"Sister, that's the plum blossom that the second young master of the Huang landlord's family let him plant, he is a doctor, and he said that the plum blossom can be used as medicine! That's why people planted so many of them. β
Chenxi smiled, the flowers of Lamei can indeed be turned into precious medicinal materials after processing, which has the effect of detoxification and rejuvenation. However, she likes plum blossoms because they bloom proudly in frost, snow and cold weather, and the flowers are yellow like wax and fragrant.
She walked forward, reached out and touched the flower branch, but before she could pick it, a voice stopped her, "This girl, please don't pick the flowers indiscriminately." β
A man in Tsing Yi walked out of Lameilin, he was about two years old, he looked about the same age as Huangfu Jinghao, with good facial features and dignified appearance, and he seemed to be a knowledgeable person.
"Brother Huang, Sister Xi is not picking flowers, she just came to see it." Zhao Xiaohu pulled Chenxi's sleeve and motioned her not to take it off.
Chenxi put down her hand and smiled slightly: "I just saw that this flower is beautiful, and I really want to pick one to play, but since this son is reluctant, it is not abrupt." β
The man in Tsing Yi glanced at Zhao Xiaohu and asked suspiciously, "Xiaohu, when did you have an extra sister in your family?" β
Zhao Xiaohu said embarrassedly: "Sister Xi is a guest taken in by my family yesterday, and today my sister is bored and comes out for a walk." β
I see, the man in Tsing Yi raised his eyes to look at Chenxi, and was slightly stunned by her blue eyes, "In Xia Huang Qingyun, I have seen the girl." β
"Hello, my name is Chenxi, excuse me."
"Hehe, it's okay, this plum blossom can be used as medicine, and there is little medicine in the countryside, so-"
Chenxi smiled absently, and said softly: "Understand, Huang Gongzi doesn't have to be sorry, this is your flower, I shouldn't pick it." I picked them because I thought they were wildflowers. β
Wild flower? Is this like a wildflower? Moreover, just now Xiaohu clearly said that this flower was planted by him, and this woman lied and didn't make a draft, thinking that he didn't hear the conversation just now!
Huang Qingyun slandered in his heart, but pretended to be ignorant on his face, no matter what, he avoided the embarrassment between the two people.
"Xi'er-" The old woman walked over quickly, glanced at Huang Qingyun, and was a little wary, "Xi'er, you've been out for a long time, and you're tired of shopping, right?" β
"It's okay, why did grandma come out?"
"I'm worried that you've run away and Xiaohu have forgotten the time!"
Chenxi stretched out his hand to caress her, "It's okay, grandma, go back!" β
The old woman glanced at Huang Qingyun, then at the plum forest, retracted her gaze and kindly called Xiaohu to follow back.
Huang Qingyun touched his nose, did he do anything? No, why did the old woman look at him defensively?
If you don't look away, then the old woman should be a master, at such an old age, from the time the voice came to her approach, the time was very short, if the average old man was not so fast at all.
It seems that this small village is about to start to be colorful! He also thought that he liked to hide in small places and be quiet, and he couldn't imagine that there were other people who came to such a small place like him.
Chenxi, this name seems a little familiar, where have you heard of it? I don't think I've heard of it before, but why does it feel familiar? (To be continued)
