Chapter 6: Returning the Things
Tong Chuxue looked at Xu Jinniang's excited appearance, and couldn't bear to say more, so she had to respond indiscriminately.
It seems that she still has to find a way to dispel Xu Jinniang's thoughts, but fortunately, there is still some time, and she has subtly instilled Xu Jinniang, and there is always a chance to change her mind.
Early the next morning, Tong Chuxue opened her eyes, only to feel a sore back, uncomfortable, sleeping on straw is really not a human life.
The two had just moved in yesterday, and there was no rice at home, so Tong Chuxue found a dusty old basket from the shed in the backyard and prepared to go to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables.
However, leaving Xu Jinniang at home alone, Tong Chuxue was not at ease, so she simply pulled her along.
To the north of Castle Peak Village is a rolling hill, and this season there is plenty of rainfall, and there should be plenty of wild vegetables.
They came out early, there were not many people on the road, Tong Chuxue thought about the future life, "Mother, let's go to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables today to deal with it temporarily, I thought about it, although the money in our hands is a little worse to buy an acre of fertile land, but I remember that there is a piece of land on the side of the mountain with many stones, irregular, let's buy that piece of land and plant something, enough for us to live." ”
Tong Chuxue said it beautifully, but Xu Jinniang laughed, "You only know that there are acres of wasteland, but you don't know that there are many stones and barren land, and you can't grow anything at all, and there is almost nothing left after paying taxes every year." We're going to buy that piece of land, and we're busy all year round, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat a mouthful of food. ”
In fact, how the soil strength has no effect on Tong Chuxue, as long as there is soil in the ground, it is enough, but even if she tells Xu Jinniang now, Xu Jinniang is afraid that she will not dare to believe her.
The two continued their march towards the mountains.
As Tong Chuxue expected, there were a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, and they were lucky today to dig up a lot of camellia.
If they go further in, they might be able to find mushrooms, and if they're lucky enough to find some chicken fir mushrooms, they might even make a small profit.
Suddenly, someone stopped Xu Jinniang.
"Jin Niang, why are you still in the mood to dig wild vegetables here!"
Xu Jinniang didn't know why, and asked in confusion, "I don't have anything to eat at home, I came with Chu Xue to find some wild vegetables, Dazhu's family, what happened?" ”
"You don't know...... Wu roared urgently, eager to take three steps and two steps, and almost blurted out.
Wu glanced at Tong Chuxue, hurriedly stopped talking, dragged Xu Jinniang to the side, and deliberately lowered his voice, obviously not wanting Tong Chuxue to know.
The two of them were mysterious, and Tong Chuxue didn't know what Wu said to Xu Jinniang, only to see Xu Jinniang's face change greatly, drop the shovel, and hurriedly follow Wu.
What can be done in such a hurry, Tong Chuxue is puzzled.
At this time, a crisp voice sounded, "Sister, your shovel." ”
Tong Chuxue lowered her head, and a small bun with a little bit of size stood in front of her, holding the shovel that Xu Jinniang had just dropped.
The child's eyes are as bright as black grapes, his little face is white and clean, and his clothes are neat, not like a country child at all.
She couldn't help but touch the little bun's head and smiled, "Thank you." ”
Xiao Baozi was a little unhappy, "Don't touch my head, my brother said that if you touch too much, you won't be tall." ”
"yes, who is your brother?" Tong Chuxue asked with a smile.
Xiao Baozi's head was raised, "Sister, you've seen it." ”
"I've seen it?" Tong Chuxue really couldn't think of it, she had just crossed here, and no one recognized it, and there was no little bun in her memory.
"You only saw it yesterday!" The little bun is a little anxious.
I saw it yesterday, the age is suitable to be the brother of the little bun, isn't that just-
"Luo Hui'an."
Xiao Baozi gave Tong Chuxue an expression of "you finally remembered".
"But how did you run into the mountains alone, does your brother know," such a big child, the family is generally relieved to let him go out alone, the more Tong Chuxue thought about it, the more he felt that there was a problem, "You shouldn't have sneaked out by yourself." ”
Xiao Baozi pursed his lips and stopped talking for a while.
This is not good, what if a child is running around in the mountains in case of danger, Tong Chuxue took the hand of the little bun, "Go, I'll send you home." ”
Xiao Baozi wanted to resist, but his little strength was Tong Chuxue's opponent, and his little hands were clenched tightly.
When the sun was in the sky, the old and young in Qingshan Village were almost up, Tong Chuxue was walking on the road with the little bun, and felt that the eyes of the people around her seemed to be focused on her.
At first, she thought it was because after yesterday's incident spread in the village, everyone wanted to gossip and gossip.
Seeing that she was about to walk to Luo's house, Tong Chuxue suddenly heard someone calling her name.
The person who came was a girl with an unfamiliar face, but the other party obviously knew Tong Chuxue, "Sister, something happened to the Tong family, go and take a look!" ”
What does the Tong family's accident have to do with her, with what the Tong family did, she can already be regarded as self-contained if she doesn't fall into the well.
Seeing Tong Chuxue's calm expression, the little girl became even more anxious, "Aunt Xu has quarreled with the Tong family, if you don't go, I'm afraid my aunt will be bullied!" ”
Tong Chuxue didn't expect Xu Jinniang to be called to the Tong family just now, and she had a conflict with the Tong family. They only separated yesterday, and today the Tong family is no longer restrained, and it will definitely not be good for Xu Jinniang.
She glanced at Xiao Baozi, "The front is your house, you can go back by yourself, my sister still has important matters." ”
Xiao Baozi knew that the situation was urgent and promised, "I can do it!" ”
Tong Chuxue hurried to Tong's house.
Who knows, Tong Chuxue just left with her front foot, and the little bun was about to follow with her back foot, but she was stopped by the little girl, "If you don't go home, where are you going, let the eldest brother know that he will punish you again." ”
Xiao Baozi is not afraid of her, "I'm going to see what's going on with the Tong family." ”
The little girl shook her head, "No, the eldest brother was still looking for you just now." ”
"Sister," Xiao Baozi began to coquettish when she saw this, "You just tell the eldest brother that I went to Tong's house, and the eldest brother won't blame me." ”
After saying that, she ran away like a gust of wind, and the little girl couldn't catch up at all, so she stomped her feet in place angrily.
Tong family.
When Tong Chuxue walked to the door of Tong's house, she heard Xu Jinniang's cry inside.
At this time, everyone of the Tong family had gathered in the small courtyard of the Tong family, Xu Jinniang had tears rippling, and when she saw Tong Chuxue coming in, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and held her daughter's hand, "Chuxue, why did you come here, didn't you say that you want to go to the mountains to find some wild vegetables, if you are good, go back and wash the vegetables first......"
Tong Chuxue shook Xu Jinniang's hand hard, "Mother, did the Tong family bully you?" ”
I saw that Xu Jinniang's face was pale, and she didn't even want to explain now, so she was about to push Tong Chuxue out of the door, "How come, no one bullied my mother, you think too much, you go back first." ”
How can Tong Chuxue believe this reaction.
"Mother, does this matter have anything to do with me?"
The Tong family seemed to be waiting for this sentence, Zou Hongping stood in a conspicuous position in the crowd like a big rooster showing off her might, her eyes staring at Tong Chuxuedao, "Snow girl, you came just in time, help us persuade your mother to return the things." ”
