11. I'm sorry
The Xu family's desk is not really a table, but two four-legged stools with a wooden board on it. This design is not the ingenuity of the Xu family, but because of the traditional customs of the doctor's home: the patient can lie directly on the table when he comes, and he can be carried away and buried on a stretcher when he is cured.
Tong Wanqing didn't lift the table before, mainly because the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table were broken, but it was a pity. Who knew that Xu Xiaole opened his mouth widely, and he directly asked for five taels of silver, so it was better to flip the table and beat someone. Even if everything on the table is broken, it doesn't cost five taels of silver to put together another set—maybe the treasure money will solve the problem.
Xu Xiaole suddenly found that his bunker was directly overturned, frightened like a frightened bear, and directly hugged Tong Wanqing's thighs, and his legs were also entangled, so he simply sat on Tong Wanqing's feet. Tong Wanqing dropped two sticks, and Xu Xiaole screamed loudly in pain, hugged her tighter, and put her head straight to her thigh.
Tong Wanqing's face was red, but she didn't dare to fight anymore, who knew what this little rascal would do without a limit. She said: "Now we can make a truce, I'll give you a chance, stand up and obediently let me beat twenty sticks, and don't look at these nonsense things in the future, let's settle the two." ”
Xu Xiaole hugged her sister-in-law's thighs and didn't let go: "Twenty sticks is too much, how about two sticks?" ”
"Twenty-five!" Tong Wanqing's face was full of frost: "I almost missed yesterday's incident just now!" ”
Seeing that he was exposed in broad daylight, with his sister-in-law's stick in hand, in response to the old saying that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, Xu Xiaole didn't panic. He thought that it was a beating left and right, and it was a moment to be able to drag it out, not to mention that his sister-in-law's legs were strong and straight, warm and comfortable in his arms, and he wished that he would never come down like this.
"Okay, I'll suffer some losses, just hit five times!" Xu Xiaole's face was pressed against Tong Wanqing's leg, and he couldn't help but think: When I smell the fragrance on your body, it is worth taking two more beatings.
Tong Wanqing dragged her legs and kicked them, but found that Xu Xiaole, who could have been lifted with one hand, was so heavy that she couldn't kick herself. She said in disgust: "You haven't washed your face, just rub it on my pants!" Get up! ”
Xu Xiaole rubbed even more: "We haven't finished the appointment yet, I won't get up." ”
Tong Wanqing was angry for a while, raised the rolling stick and hit it twice, and suddenly heard movement behind her, but turned around and saw Luo Yun with red faces.
Luo Yun said embarrassedly: "Sister Wanqing, the bath bucket has been moved to your house." ”
Tong Wanqing put on a smiling face and said: "Xiaoyun is still sensible, go and drink saliva, and when I solve this dead skin, I will go down and make steamed cakes for you." ”
Luo Yun sighed twice, turned his head and went down.
Xu Xiaole shouted outside: "You are unrighteous, and you won't save me!" ”
Tong Wanqing sneered while dragging Xu Xiaole out: "You come down now and clean up the study, I can also consider sending your twenty sticks, if you don't know what to do, when I get out of this door, it may not be only twenty sticks." ”
Xu Xiaole refused to let go.
Tong Wanqing moved two steps, and suddenly thought that the clothes she had changed from taking a shower yesterday were all in the room, and she hadn't had time to wash them, so she didn't know if Luo Yun saw it just now. She thought of Luo Yun's embarrassed face just now, and became more and more suspicious that Luo Yun had seen her underwear, and she was anxious to go to the room to verify, but Xu Xiaole refused to let go here.
"Let it go! If you don't let go, I'll be ruthless! Tong Wanqing shouted.
It was not Xu Xiaole who answered her. A deep voice came from the patio downstairs: "Is Mrs. Tong at home?" ”
Tong Wanqing heard the voice very unfamiliar, rummaging in her head. Xu Xiaole said: "It's Uncle Luo who is here, probably for the sake of Xu Lao'an." Tong Wanqing glared angrily: "Then you won't let go!" ”
"I'm letting go, you don't want to hit me!"
"Hurry up! Tell the guests to wait for a long time! Tong Wanqing said impatiently.
Xu Xiaole slowly let go of his hand with the mentality of giving it a try. Without waiting for him to let go completely, Tong Wanqing kicked the little scoundrel three feet away with a flick of her long legs. Xu Xiaole was still waiting for the follow-up stormy blow, but Tong Wanqing only threw a roll of her eyes, straightened her clothes and went downstairs.
As soon as Tong Wanqing walked downstairs, he heard Luo Yun say to his father: "Sister Wanqing is playing Xiaole, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of it for a while." ”
Luo Quan doesn't come to Mudu much on weekdays, and he knows very little about the normal life of the Xu family, and he is very incomprehensible about the expression "you can't get out of Xiaole". Fortunately, he saw Tong Wanqing coming down, and finally saved his brainpower. Luo Quan stepped forward to greet Tong Wanqing and said straight to the point: "Mrs. Tong probably knows about the Xu family." ”
Tong Wanqing said: "I've heard Xiaole say that Xu Lao'an is going to move in, right?" As long as they don't dislike my family's shabby, they can make a few rooms out. ”
"Lao An people are still very grateful that your mansion can accommodate the relatives of the victims." Luo Quan brought Xu Hui's concubine Hu Meiniang to see the house today, and his position unconsciously stood on the side of Xu's mansion.
Tong Wanqing said in her heart: When Xu Hanlin's family was beautiful, there were not 100 but 80 relatives, and now they can only come to us who are too far away to see each other in their lives. It's really hot and cold, and it's embarrassing. When she thought about it, she immediately felt pity for Xu Hanlin's family. Although his family has no income, his life is quite stable.
"Xu Hanlin's concubine room is outside, so I don't dare to bring it in rashly." Luo Quan Dao.
Tong Wanqing hurriedly said: "It's the slave family who is rude, let's go out to meet that sister." ”
Luo Quan secretly said that this Tong lady can speak, and she really deserves to be the person who independently supports the Xu family. He always felt a slight guilt for Xu Xiaole, so he asked, "What is the government doing to make a living now?" ”
Tong Wanqing said: "The slave family spins and weaves cloth on weekdays, and makes clothes for others, which is enough to support the family's expenses." ”
Luo Quan said: This is indeed a little poor, it's not that Xu Xiaole is complaining in vain. He asked, "I'm afraid it's a little tough." In this way, I will send some rice and grain on the fifteenth or thirtieth day every month, and I can't ask Mrs. Tong to bear it alone. ”
Tong Wanqing didn't have the capital to be generous, this is the truth she understood when she was the daughter of the innkeeper. She said generously: "Thank you Uncle Luo for taking care of you." ”
"What is said, it should be, it should be." Luo Quan turned his face away, and saw that the houses here were good, but they were in disrepair and many places were damaged. He said: "I still know a good wooden cabinet, so I will call here to repair the house for Mrs. Tong." The expenses should naturally be mine, and Mrs. Tong must not refuse. ”
Tong Wanqing finally smiled: "Then how embarrassing is that!" ”
