Chapter 128: Jealous
Next.
When the rooster crows, the sky is still gray. But Zhang Xiaohua still got up and went to cook.
Not only cooked, but also fed the family's poultry and livestock.
Since she was going up to the mountain today to see the wounded horse, she also wanted to go to the town. So without waiting for Hu Qiuxia's orders, she took the initiative to do all the housework herself.
Originally, she was going to go back to town in three days. Because she needs time to formulate a sales plan, she also needs time to deal with Jiang Xiaoru's marriage contract.
But now, her sales plan has been decided. And Jiang Xiaoru refused to agree with her approach, and she was helpless. So she decided to go to town today, and she couldn't wait.
In addition, in the dire environment of the Qiu family, she just wanted to escape quickly. So she has to make money quickly.
When Zhang Xiaohua was busy with her work. It wasn't dawn yet. Qiu Mo showed no signs of waking up.
Zhang Xiaohua originally wanted to ask Qiu Mo to get up to eat, but seeing that he rarely slept soundly, she couldn't bear it.
took the only thin quilt from the bed and gently covered Qiu Mo.
But the quilt was just on Qiu Mo's body, and Qiu Mo woke up.
"Little flower? Are you awake? ”
"Did I wake you up? If you're still sleepy, get some sleep. Zhang Xiaohua lifted the quilt and said.
Qiu Mo realized that Zhang Xiaohua was covering him with a quilt. I suddenly felt warm again.
"Xiaohua, why don't you sleep? I'm not cold, you cover the quilt, don't catch a cold. Qiu Mo said.
"Fool, it's almost dawn. If you're not sleepy, get up and eat! We're going to town today. Zhang Xiaohua said with a smile.
"Oh! Good. Qiu Mo hurriedly got up, and then helped Zhang Xiaohua up by the way.
"Xiaohua, what if my mother stops us?" Qiu Mo asked suddenly.
"Ignore her. You go wash up first, and we'll eat first. Zhang Xiaohua said disappreciatively.
If Hu Qiuxia knew that they were going to the town, she would definitely stop them, so she didn't plan to talk to Hu Qiuxia at all.
Why do you have to tell her? Won't they sneak out?
......
When Zhang Xiaohua and Qiu Mo were full, Hu Qiuxia and Qiu Hongsheng hadn't gotten up yet.
Zhang Xiaohua went to the door and knocked on the door, and Hu Qiuxia's vague inquiry came from the room. "Who?"
"Mother, the meal has been cooked, Qiu Mo and I will go out first." After Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking, she didn't wait for Hu Qiuxia to respond, and turned around and left directly.
In the room, Hu Qiuxia slept in a daze, only to hear Zhang Xiaohua say that the meal had been cooked, she was very satisfied with Zhang Xiaohua's initiative, so she didn't say anything, and fell asleep again.
"Qiu Mo, let's go!" Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly walked back, and Qiu Mo was already waiting for her in the courtyard. She took Qiu Mo's hand and walked out of the Qiu family's courtyard directly.
"Xiaohua, what did you say to your mother? She agreed that we were going out? Qiu Mo looked curious, what did Zhang Xiaohua say to Hu Qiuxia. When they went out, Hu Qiuxia didn't come out to stop them.
"I don't know if she agrees, but she didn't come out to stop her, so we can go out with confidence."
Zhang Xiaohua deliberately knocked on the door early in the morning, in order to say that she was going out in a daze in Hu Qiuxia. Because she knew that Hu Qiuxia definitely didn't pay attention to what she said at this time, and was bent on sleeping.
Sure enough, Hu Qiuxia was easily fooled by her.
When she woke up, it was too late to regret it.
At that time, even if she and Qiu Mo came back late, Hu Qiuxia would have no reason to talk about them. Because it was she herself who gave them permission to go out.
"That's what Xiaohua said." Qiu Mo also smiled.
By the time they reached the mountain, it was already getting lighter, but it was still darker in the mountains than outside. But it doesn't affect walking.
Came to the wounded horse, which was lying on the ground, looking up at the front, chewing grass in its mouth. The state is obviously much better than yesterday.
When Zhang Xiaohua and Qiu Mo approached, the horse's nose made a 'snort' sound, and he instinctively wanted to stand up. However, due to the injury on his foot, it tried several times but did not really get up.
He finally stood up, but he carried the injured foot and stood on only three feet.
"Qiu Mo, let's go cut some grass directly! Don't go over, it seems a little scared of us. Seeing that the horse was so wary of them, Zhang Xiaohua stopped and said to Qiu Mo.
"Okay, then I'll go mow the grass, Xiaohua, you wait here." Qiu Mo said that he was about to mow the grass, but was stopped by Zhang Xiaohua.
"Wait a minute, Qiu Mo, remember to use a knife, don't scratch your hand again."
"Got it." Qiu Mo smiled, and then went elsewhere.
Zhang Xiaohua deliberately took out the back basket and sickle in order to explain when she returned to Qiu's house, and planned to find some pigweed to go back before returning to Qiu's house, so that she could be regarded as having an explanation.
Unexpectedly, the sickle and the back basket also came in handy here.
Qiu Mo went to mow the grass, but Zhang Xiaohua had nothing to do, so she slowly approached the horse. I am going to be familiar with it. After all, she will use this horse in the future, let the horse get used to her now, and when the horse is good, she can ride it directly.
The horse's usual temper is not big, but because of the injuries on his body, it is inevitable to be vigilant. When Zhang Xiaohua approached, it was obviously very excited, and it looked like it was eager to flee quickly.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Zhang Xiaohua saw the horse commotion, and she was also worried that she would hurt herself, so she also looked cautious.
The horse seemed to understand her, though she resisted her. But when her hand touched it, it just twisted its neck and didn't make too much of a move.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua became a little bolder, hugged the horse's neck, and smoothed its fur. "That's good!"
Zhang Xiaohua took advantage of this gap to take a look at the horse's injured foot, and saw that the blood stains on the strap had dried.
The bleeding has stopped, and if you keep wearing a bandage, it will not be good for the wound. So Zhang Xiaohua wanted to untie it for it.
But she didn't dare to act rashly. If the horses rioted because of this, she would not be able to resist it.
When Qiu Mo came back with a basket full of grass, he saw Zhang Xiaohua holding the horse's neck, and he didn't know what to say to the horse.
That intimate appearance made Qiu Mo jealous when he saw it.
"Little Flower." Qiu Mo walked over and put down the basket, with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.
"Qiu Mo, you're back." Zhang Xiaohua let go of the horse and walked towards Qiu Mo. Picked up his hand and looked at it. There were no new scratches on it, so Zhang Xiaohua was relieved.
When Qiu Mo saw her move, his heart was a little balanced.
"We feed the horses and then we go to town. But I want to untie the horse, you can help me! Zhang Xiaohua said.
"Oh! What does Xiaohua want me to do? Qiu Mo asked.
"I'll draw the horse's attention, and you take the opportunity to untie the leash." As she spoke, Zhang Xiaohua returned to the horse, touched the horse's head, and touched the horse's face.
The horse didn't seem to resent her at all, and let her touch it.
Zhang Xiaohua saw that Ma Er had completely let down her guard, and hurriedly gave Qiu Mo a look.
