The next morning. Liu Dachai wanted to go up the mountain to collect firewood as usual. But Zhou Zixiang saw from behind that Liu Dachai was walking a little crookedly, and his feet must still be hurting. So, I persuaded Liu Dachai to rest for a day. Anyway, it's not bad to chop wood for many years.

Liu Dachai said to Zhou Zixiang with a smile: "It's still my dear lady who knows how to hurt people." All right. I'll listen to my mother. ”

The two couples stayed at home like this, flirting crookedly and crookedly, which made Zhao look at it all over his body. Back then, she and her husband didn't dare to show affection in front of their mother-in-law.

Zhou Zixiang handed Liu Dachai a hot towel to wash his face. Liu Dachai casually said thank you. Zhou Zixiang didn't have time to say anything, so she rushed to say without thanking Zhao: "It's natural for a wife to do something for her husband, why bother to say thank you." You can't spoil your wife like this, otherwise your wife will turn against the sky, and my mother-in-law will have a place to stand in the future. ”

Liu Dachai said to Zhao: "Oops. Oh my mother. Ahh Although I look stupid, I'm not as stupid as you think, in fact, you have lied to me since I was a child. It's just that I don't want to demolish you. ”

Zhao was so angry that he knocked on a flat pole and said, "I really have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother." Liu Dachai and Zhou Zixiang both laughed at her for being too childish.

Around noon. A middle-aged woman suddenly came to Liu Dachai's house. At that time, Liu Dachai's family was eating. But this middle-aged woman didn't come to ask for food. Because when Zhou Zixiang asked her to eat, she shook her head, just looked around, quite a bit of a thief.

Zhou Zixiang thought that the middle-aged woman was shy, so she said to her: "Otherwise, I'll give you two steamed buns, and you can take them elsewhere to eat." ”

Who knows, the middle-aged woman said to Zhou Zixiang: "You think I'm here to ask for food, you see where I seem to be asking for food." My clothes are more expensive than yours. ”

Zhao seized another opportunity to count his daughter-in-law. She pulled Zhou Zixiang away, and said to the middle-aged woman with a smile: "Don't be surprised by this old girl." My daughter-in-law is not flexible and does not understand the world. Tell me anything you want. ”

The middle-aged woman said, "I heard that you are selling firewood here." I want a hundred pounds of firewood. Delivered to my house tonight. ”

Zhao was a little embarrassed and said to the middle-aged woman: "That's really embarrassing." My family's firewood has no firewood today, and there is no firewood to sell to you. ”

The middle-aged woman expressed a slight regret and prepared to leave. However, Liu Dachai told the middle-aged woman to wait first. The middle-aged woman turned to joy and asked Liu if she had firewood to sell to her?

Liu Dachai said to the woman, "A hundred catties is not much. I'll go up the mountain and chop wood for you now. Tell me your address. I'll pick it up for you when I've got it. ”

"Thank you so much." The middle-aged woman pulled out a note from her bosom with the full address of her home written on it. After Liu Dachai took the note, the woman left.

Liu Dachai got dressed and looked high-spirited. Zhou Zixiang said to Liu Dachai dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say that you would rest at home for a day, why do you have to make a deal with others?" ”

Liu Dachai said to Zhou Zixiang: "I have long been accustomed to this kind of labor life in the past few decades when I go up the mountain to collect firewood rain or shine. Now I have nothing to do at home, and I'm not feeling well. Keep doing my job, or you'll get sick. ”

Zhou Zixiang asked Liu worriedly whether Liu Dachai's feet were in the way? Liu Dachai said: "It's okay. It's just a little painful, don't you see I'm not a dragon now? ”

Zhao also supported her son on the side, saying: "It's a serious thing for a man to work, where is it like a woman who can't lift his shoulders and can't lift his hands." A man has to have the momentum of a man going up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, what does a little girl know. ”

Zhou Zixiang didn't say anything anymore. Just told her husband to be careful when he went out. Liu Dachai answered and went out.

At night, thunder roared and a light rain fell in the sky. Zhou Zixiang had already made dinner, but her husband still hadn't come back. She stood at the door and watched nervously, and said to herself, "Usually I will be back at this time." Could it be that something has happened? ”

When Zhao heard Zhou Zixiang say this, he thought that Zhou Zixiang was purely afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so he yelled at Zhou Zixiang angrily: "If my son really has something three long and two short, it is your crow's mouth to spell." ”

Zhou Zixiang felt that she was obviously kind-hearted, but she was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by her mother-in-law, and she couldn't help but become angry, and said to Zhao hard: "What you say is more poisonous than mine, I really don't know if Liu Dachai is your own child." ”

Zhao was furious and said, "You dare to talk back to me? Zhou Zixiang was not afraid of her, and said with a serious expression: "You can do whatever you think." ”

So, the two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were chattering crookedly there. It wasn't until a woman appeared that they stopped arguing. This woman is a middle-aged woman who has come at noon. As soon as she entered, she panicked and shouted, "Oh no. Your man has fallen down on the mountain. ”

Zhao was stunned when he heard this, his mouth was open and round, and he didn't know what to say. Zhou Zixiang asked how the middle-aged woman knew?

The middle-aged woman was a little dazed by this question, and then said hesitantly: "I also listened to others." ”

Zhou Zixiang said that she couldn't believe the middle-aged woman's words, and felt that it was better to wait. However, Zhao was so anxious that she urged Zhou Zixiang to go up the mountain to take a look.

Zhou Zixiang considered that Liu Dachai's feet were not very convenient when he went out, and wrestling was also very likely to happen. It is better to have something than to believe nothing. But she also felt that it might not be useful for her to go alone. She told the middle-aged woman to wait for a while, and she went to find Wang Zhong to talk.

The middle-aged woman said to Zhou Zixiang: "The matter is urgent, and it is too late to delay more. Can't I go with you? I also have a lot of strength. ”

Zhou Zixiang still had some doubts about whether the middle-aged woman had the strength, but Zhao couldn't allow her to think twice, so he pushed Zhou Zixiang and asked her to follow the middle-aged woman quickly. Otherwise, Liu Dachai really has three long and two short, and she can't spare Zhou Zixiang. There was no way, so Zhou Zixiang had to follow the woman and run up the mountain quickly.

Zhou Zixiang followed the middle-aged woman on the rugged mountain road, getting more and more deviant. She couldn't help but ask the woman, "Are you familiar with this area?" ”

The middle-aged woman said, "That's right. I've been here a lot. ”

Zhou Zixiang asked her again, since she often came up, why didn't she fetch firewood by herself? But the middle-aged woman did not promise her. Because a man appeared at one end of the mountain road. Zhou Zixiang thought it was her husband, and hurriedly ran over to hold his hand. Unexpectedly, a lightning bolt struck, and she finally saw clearly that the person was not her husband, but Zhao Youde.

Zhou Zixiang asked Zhao Youde in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhao Youde smiled: "I asked my second aunt to trick you." I want to get you. Because I think I'm so much better than the woodcutter. You'd better marry me. ”

Zhou Zixiang scolded: "Shameless villain." I'm the one who marries the chicken. Don't be delusional. After saying that, she wanted to leave, but unfortunately, the little rascal Wu Dan that day blocked her way again.

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Zixiang shouted in horror. Zhao Youde was already impatient, pushed Zhou Zixiang to the ground, and then pressed it. (To be continued.) )
