Chapter 57: Trek to town
Qiu Mo still wanted to say something, but thinking about what Zhang Xiaohua said was not unreasonable. When they returned to Qiu's house, Hu Qiuxia would not let them be idle.
He was stupid before, and he always felt that all this they did was taken for granted. But now that he is sober, he will no longer let others use and take advantage of him.
And......
Qiu Mo glanced sideways at Zhang Xiaohua, and a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes.
How can his wife do all this dirty work? He must find a way to make his lady live a good life.
"Xiaohua, then you go and sit down, I'll just be busy alone." Qiu Mo said that he was going to take Zhang Xiaohua to the house to rest.
Zhang Xiaohua reluctantly pushed his hand away and said, "It's not the first time I've worked, I've long been tired and used to it!" Okay, let's get busy together, and when we're done, we'll go to town. ”
Saying that, Zhang Xiaohua was going to do the laundry.
Qiu Mo hadn't digested her words yet! She took two steps and suddenly stopped again, looked back at Qiu Mo, and said, "You lead the way!" ”
Qiu Mo was puzzled in his heart, and he didn't understand why Zhang Xiaohua suddenly wanted to go to the town. What can they do when they go to town and are penniless?
But since Zhang Xiaohua asked, then he would take her there. Just thinking that they were going to walk so far, Qiu Mo was extremely worried that Zhang Xiaohua would not be able to bear it.
He glanced at Zhang Xiaohua, who was already busy, and finally didn't say much, but started to work for Zhang Xiaohua.
By the time they were done, Lan Cuimei hadn't come back yet. Zhang Xiaohua wanted to treat herself while Lan Cuimei was not cooking a meal, but she didn't expect Lan Cuimei to go too far, and she had already locked the kitchen door.
I don't know if this is Lan Cuimei's consistent style, or because she knows that she and Qiu Mo are there, and deliberately guards against them.
Zhang Xiaohua was so angry that she didn't want to eat?
How can ancient aunts be virtuous?
"Qiu Mo, let's go!" Zhang Xiaohua stared at the locked kitchen door for a long time, and said angrily.
However, without waiting for Qiu Mo, he turned around and left.
What Zhang Xiaohua didn't know was that Lan Cuimei had already come.
When she came back, she happened to see Zhang Xiaohua and Qiu Mo finishing all the work at home. So he hid, because he didn't want to cook for Zhang Xiaohua and Qiu Mo to eat.
Joke, the work is done, why would she waste food!
Zhang Xiaohua walked fast and didn't find Lan Cuimei. However, Qiu Mo found her early in the morning.
When she saw Lan Cuimei hiding in the dark like a mouse, how could Qiu Mo not know her thoughts. It's just that he didn't bother to say it.
If you have to look at other people's faces after eating a meal, then you can skip this meal.
Qiu Mo quickly kept up with Zhang Xiaohua and asked, "Xiaohua, will we go to the town now?" ”
"That's right, you worked hard just now, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Zhang Xiaohua said as she walked.
Hearing this, Qiu Mo looked confused. "But Xiaohua, we don't have any money!"
"Not now, but when we get to town, we'll have it." Zhang Xiaohua said disappreciatively.
"Huh? Little flower, you won't be going to... Steal it? ”
"What do you think! Don't worry, don't steal or rob, but I just have a way to make money. Just take me to town. As she spoke, Zhang Xiaohua seemed to have thought of something, stopped and looked at Qiu Mo, and asked, "You won't be worried about danger and refuse to take me there, right?" ”
Qiu Mo shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid of danger, I will protect Zhang Xiaohua." ”
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Qiu Mo in surprise, it was rare that Qiu Mo didn't stop her this time, and he seemed to support her to go to the town.
"Qiu Mo, that's right! Are you so tall that you're afraid of danger? The bad guys have to avoid three points when they see you! I can rest assured that you will protect me. ”
"Hey, hey!" It seems that Zhang Xiaohua's praise is very happy, and Qiu Mo is smiling.
It's not a long way from town, but it's a few hours on foot.
But Zhang Xiaohua is not afraid, she can rest when she is tired of walking. But if she returned to Qiu's house to face Hu Qiuxia, she would be exhausted even if she didn't work.
……
Let's go! Zhang Xiaohua and Qiu Mo went directly to the town after leaving Zhang's house.
Although it was walking, they didn't feel tired after walking along the way.
At least compared to doing farm work, it's nothing tiring.
"Xiaohua, are you tired? Let me carry you! At this time, they had already walked a long way, and Qiu Shu was afraid that Zhang Xiaohua would be exhausted, so he said.
Zhang Xiaohua did walk with sore legs and sore feet, and although it was past noon now, the afternoon sun was already bright and spicy. Even the shade of the trees on the side of the road could not shield the erosion of the air that was scorched by the sun.
However, she was tired of walking, presumably Qiu Mo was no better, how could she let Qiu Mo carry her?
"You just take care of yourself, I can go by myself." Zhang Xiaohua said weakly.
"But if you have the strength, you might as well come and help me." In the next second, Zhang Xiaohua said again.
Hearing this, Qiu Mo hurriedly approached Zhang Xiaohua. It's just that he hasn't touched her yet, and she has stuck to it herself.
I saw Zhang Xiaohua holding Qiu Mo's arm, and almost hung her entire body on Qiu Mo.
"Ahh I'm so tired! Hungry and tired. When will it come? Zhang Xiaohua looked half-dead.
In fact, I am not too tired, except for the pain points of my sore feet, everything else is fine.
The point is hunger! They came out without lunch, and now they are so hungry that they are sticking to their backs.
Hungry and tired, it's so torturous.
"Xiaohua, there is still more than half of the journey to be completed! If you're tired, let me carry you! Seeing Zhang Xiaohua looking very tired, Qiu Mo felt a little distressed. But he didn't know what to do.
If he has the ability and is strong enough, won't Xiaohua have to bear this?
"Qiu Mo, you won't be leading the wrong way, right! I obviously feel like I've come a long way, but it's not even halfway through. Hearing Qiu Mo say that there was still more than half the way, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly felt that she couldn't walk.
"No, let's rest for a while! If you go any further, you will die. ”
Zhang Xiaohua said, and directly pulled Qiu Mo to rest under the shade of the tree next to the road.
Sitting under the big tree, Zhang Xiaohua leaned on Qiu Mo's shoulder, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I think I, a human being living in the high-tech era of the 21st century, will actually have a day when I am forced to travel on foot." ”
It's a miracle that she's survived in this era.
Qiu Mo listened to Zhang Xiaohua's words, and his brows couldn't help but crow. Although I don't know what Zhang Xiaohua is talking about, I always feel weird in my heart.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly raised her head from Qiu Mo's shoulder to look at Qiu Mo, and asked with doubts in her eyes, "Qiu Mo, why don't you look tired at all?" ”
