Chapter 8 Friendship
Liang Wei hooked the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything more, only the color refracted in the dark pupils could be seen, which was quite pleasant.
The two chatted and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Xu Lan cooked the meal and brought the food to the hall, and it happened that Li Xiaohua came back, her face was not good-looking, and it was obviously unsatisfactory in the Xu family.
I also want to know that Chen's temperament, her father is soft, and Chen's can't help it if he spills a little.
Chen Ruoran took out so many dowry gifts, it was strange that Chen could spit them out, and now he may have accepted the dowry and waited for that day to come and arrest her.
"Lan girl." Li Xiaohua was embarrassed that she didn't get things done, especially after seeing the food prepared on the table, she didn't know how to speak, "...... your grandmother over there"
"Auntie, I know." Xu Lan took Li Xiaohua's hand and said with a smile: "I'm already very grateful that my aunt can take me in, I know exactly what kind of person my grandmother is, and I shouldn't have let you go, if my grandmother offends me with any words, don't take it to heart." ”
Li Xiaohua waved her hand again and again, "How come, your milk is your milk." As he spoke, he glared again, and he couldn't do it angrily, "Such a good child, your milk is really blinded by lard!" ”
Xu Lan smiled, she looked very open, so she didn't cause any fluctuations, and pulled Li Xiaohua to talk for a while before sitting down to eat.
Li Xiaohua's man is a hunter in the village, and he carries his prey to the county in the morning and comes back in the evening.
So it was Xu Lan, Liang Wei, Li Xiaohua and her two sons who sat and ate.
After eating, Xu Lan went to wash the dishes again, and Li Xiaohua couldn't stop her.
After washing the dishes and coming out, Xu Lan helped Li Xiaohua slaughter the pigweed, feed the pigs, feed the chickens, and clean up. She often does these jobs in the Xu family, so she is familiar with the road, Li Xiaohua wants to stop it, and Xu Lan blocked it on the grounds that she can't live here for nothing.
After doing this, Xu Lan stopped, and in the blink of an eye, she saw Liang Wei pushing a small cart and transporting stones to the open space next to Li Xiaohua's yard.
The stone was transported from the mountain behind him, Xu Lan looked at it for a while, walked over and handed him a handkerchief, "You want to build a room over here?" ”
There is already a preliminary scale of a room in the open space, but if you want to build a room, you need not only stones, but also firewood ceilings, which is quite difficult.
Liang Wei glanced at the handkerchief handed over by Xu Lan, but didn't answer it, and wiped the Han water on his forehead with the handkerchief around his neck, "Well, if you want to live here for a while, you can't live in Brother Gu's house all the time." ”
Brother Gu is Li Xiaohua's man, Gu Qiang.
He didn't answer, and Xu Lan wouldn't mind, thinking about his relationship with Gu Qiang. Aunt Xiaohua said that Liang Wei is the young master of everyone in the county, since it is a young master, it is different from them rural people.
But why did a young master come to live in the countryside and have to carry stones and build a house by himself?
In her previous life, Xu Lan was ruined by Chen Ruoran all her life, and she had never seen Liang Wei at all, so she didn't know what happened to Liang Wei.
Thinking that there was no result, Xu Lan simply didn't want to.
Looking at it again, Liang Wei had already pushed the cart to the foot of the mountain.
Xu Lan thought about it, went back to the courtyard and poured a bowl of water, and when Liang Wei pulled the stone over again, she handed the water over, "Drink some water and rest." ”
This time, Liang Wei didn't refuse, took the water and drank it a few times with his head up, and then returned the bowl to him, "Go back, the sun is big, and your body hasn't recovered from falling into the water a few days ago." ”
Xu Lan was slightly stunned, she didn't expect the other party to care about her body, and her heart couldn't help but warm.
After smiling and nodding, she turned around and went back to the yard without pretentiousness.
After contacting Liang Wei, Xu Lan found that this person did not look as cold as she seemed, and making friends might help her to go to the county seat in the future.
has a chance to live again, Xu Lan has no intention of staying in this small mountain village, and when she learns medical skills and heals Zhang's tuberculosis, she will have to find a way to leave.
Of course, before leaving, she had to make Chen Ruoran pay something!
Xu Lan lived in Li Xiaohua's house, and the Xu family here, as Xu Lan expected, the Chen family had really accepted Chen Ruoran's dowry, and promised to let Xu Lan marry in a few days!
"The sea, this cheap girl is becoming more and more lawless, and she dares to run away from home!" The Chen family hid all the dowry gifts in his own room, which would be beautiful in his heart.
However, it didn't take long for Mei to remember that Xu Lan ran to Li Xiaohua's house, so she was angry, "The Chen family will come to pick her up in a few days, why don't you tie her back for me!" Otherwise, the dowry will be withdrawn, and I will not be done with you! ”
Xu Dahai squatted at the door and smoked a dry cigarette, his face was sad, and when he heard Chen's words, his brows furrowed even deeper, "Mother, Xiaolan doesn't agree to marry, even if she ties it back, it's ......."
When he saw the dowry brought by Chen Ruoran, he was very moved, but he didn't expect Xu Lan's resistance to be so fierce.
Not to mention running away from home, Xu Dahai also faintly felt that his daughter was not at all like the cowardly and obedient appearance of the past, and it was difficult to ask her to be willing to give in and marry.
And Xu Lan's three words selling her daughter really poked him in the heart, if it really made people think that he Xu Dahai sold his daughter because of the rich dowry, he would still have a face to see people there!
"What are you talking about!" Chen's eyes immediately widened, crossed his waist and scolded, "The dowry has been accepted, do you want to regret it?" Xu Dahai, you think clearly, that cheap girl eats white rice at home, and it is better to marry her to add some benefits to the family! ”
In the end, he turned his face sideways, and he couldn't refuse, "If you accept the dowry, the old lady won't return it, you can do it yourself!" ”
In an instant, Xu Dahai seemed to be several years old.
In the next room, Zhang heard Chen's voice, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, but he didn't dare to make a sound, thinking that it was best for Xu Lan to never come back, and he was afraid that she would have no one to take care of her outside.
I just hate her for not being capable.
Xu Dawa was chopping wood in the yard with his head suffocated, he was silent, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Xu Lan didn't see this scene at home, but even if she did, it wouldn't be anything.
Gu Qiang came back in the evening, and Xu Lan also made dinner, and after eating around the table, Gu Qiang called Liang Wei and Xu Lan out.
"That Lan girl, there is no extra room at home, so ......" Gu Qiang looked honest, rubbed his hands at this time, and glanced at Liang Wei vaguely, his expression was quite hesitant, not knowing whether to say the next words or not.
"Uncle Gu, it's okay, I can live in the firewood house." Xu Lan thought that Gu Qiang was embarrassed to let herself live there, and said with a smile.
"Ai, that ......" Gu Qiang's face was happy, and he was just about to decide to let his mother-in-law go and clean up the firewood room, but he heard Liang Wei speak.
"I live in the firewood room, and Xu Lan lives in my room."
Xu Lan turned her head in surprise, and Liang Wei met her gaze calmly, "There are mice in the firewood room, it's not clean and not suitable for you to live in." ”
