Chapter 5 Silly Big Sister
This courtyard is calculated in a farmhouse, with earthen walls and tile roofs, three upper rooms, three left and right wings, and three upside-down seats. Xu Lanzhou and Xu Lanting live in the north house of the east wing, the west wing is locked, the kitchen, firewood room, and warehouse are inverted, and there is a banyan tree in the small courtyard. There are thatched houses and vegetable fields in the backyard, as well as a chicken pen, and there were a few chickens before, all of which were secretly given to Gu Wangchen by the original owner to make up for his body.
Thinking of the stupid original owner, Xu Lanyin was also angry. This family was sent by her to have this yard and two acres of land left, several people in the family were not well fed and clothed, the Qin family was bedridden, and Xu Lanzhou dropped out of school. The original owner was also beaten hard, but she still didn't regret it at all. And the two mothers and sons of the Gu family have food and clothing, Gu Wangchen has money to study, several sets of silk robes, and money to go to the county seat to participate in the poetry meeting. Wen and Satie thought about it, he dared to think about Su Qing, he must be full of food and drink and dress warmly, and make up his mind for a better life in the future.
Eight days ago, Gu Wangchen went to the provincial capital of Jinzhou. Jinzhou Mansion is only more than 200 miles away from here, and it takes less than two days to arrive by ox cart, and the township test will be held on the eighth day of the next month. He went so many days in advance to visit a great Confucian in Shizhou Academy and gather with some students. Worship the great Confucian to buy gifts, accommodation, party costs, these money is given by the original owner one after another.
Thinking about it, Gu Wangchen had less contact with the original owner after he was fourteen years old, maybe he had some ideas at that time.
It's just that the original owner stupidly thought that the two of them would have to observe etiquette when they grew up, and they didn't care, and they took it to the Gu family as soon as they saved some money in their hands. Most of the time, Gu Wangchen excused himself to study in the room and didn't see her, so he asked his mother Miao to receive her. And the original owner was still happy for Gu Wangchen's hard work......
Xu Lanyin felt that since he wore this body, he would be better for the Qin family and the two brothers, not only to atone for the original owner, but also to better gain a foothold in this world in the future.
In fact, the original owner is not vicious, nor does he care about his family, he is simple, he doesn't have much success, and he loves Gu Wangchen too much and thinks of him too well. always felt that he would marry her, he and his family were temporarily poor, and when she became a lady, her family would be able to live a good life together.
The three people in the house have finished eating, and they don't know what stupid ideas the stupid eldest sister who works quietly is doing.
The three of them glanced at each other a few times, Xu Lanzhou helped the Qin family into the east room to lie down, came out and put the bowl into the kitchen, Xu Lanting stood under the eaves and looked at the busy stupid eldest sister blankly.
After Xu Lanyin finished cleaning up the yard, she greeted Xu Lanting with a smile, "Junior brother come here, eldest sister will wash your face and feet." ”
Xu Lanting came to the courtyard with his little short legs very cooperatively.
Xu Lanyin was very happy, and Xiao Zhengtai was still won over by herself. She led him to the kitchen door, and "heard" his voice again, "You stupid big sister, you think that if you smile at me, I will forget about you stealing the field?" Dreaming, so beautiful that your big snot bubbles and sparkles gold......"
She also brought her psychic abilities here.
Xu Lanyin twitched the corners of her mouth, such a young child was inconsistent, and his thoughts were deep. A mother and compatriots, why is the original owner so simple and easy to deceive? She took her mind off her mind, and it was tiring to practice the art of listening to the mind.
Xu Lanyin used the starlight to mix some hot water with a wooden basin to wash Xiao Zhengtai's face and feet. The child was too thin, there was not a bit of fat on his body, his small paws were like matchsticks, and he was severely anemic. This small body may lose its life if there is a little wind and grass. I have the impression that he often sees a doctor and takes medicine.
Xu Lan looked at him with a heartache, and didn't care about the secret scolding of her in his heart, the movements of his hands were more gentle, and he talked to her from time to time.
Xu Lanzhou on the side first felt that Xu Lan was abnormal, and suddenly thought of something, hugged his younger brother into his arms, and shouted, "You won't make up your mind to sell your little brother for Gu Wangchen to study, right?" If you dare, I will kill you. Then he said softly to his younger brother, "Remember, don't go out alone with the stupid eldest sister." ”
After speaking, he hugged Xu Lanting and left.
When Xu Lanting heard that the stupid eldest sister had beaten that bad idea, he was also so angry that his liver was pounding, and he stared at his eyes and shouted, "Silly eldest sister, if you dare to sell me, I will let my milk poke you with a needle, like poking the soles of your shoes, poking you into a ghost crying wolf and ......" and grimacing, and was hugged into the east chamber by Xu Lanzhou.
Xu Lanyin rolled her eyes. Don't say that she doesn't have this mind, but she does, who will buy Xiao Zhengtai's body, and it costs more money to treat the disease than to buy him.
Because of the land sale incident, the family and relatives felt that the original owner had nothing to do for Gu Wangchen. Now no matter what the original owner does, they will think about the bad in the first place.
Xu Lan didn't distinguish between words, and said too much, so she worked silently, and first established a good image and then fought for her rights.
She poured another basin of warm water and wanted to bring it to Qin Shi to wash her face.
Xu Lanzhou came out and grabbed the basin and said, "Don't go to your mother to shake it, make her upset and aggravate her condition." So saying, he took the basin and went to the upper room.
When Xu Lanyin was washing, Xu Lanzhou also came out to wash.
In Xu Lanyin's memory, the people in the family love cleanliness very much, and they are not as unparticular as the people in the village. This is mainly due to Qin's good teaching, saying that it doesn't matter if the family is poor, and it doesn't matter if the clothes have many patches, but the home must be spotless, and people and clothes must be clean and fresh. The siblings would wash their hands immediately after they finished their work, even the fingernails were clean.
As soon as they finished washing, they heard a knock at the courtyard door, it was the lobby brother Xu Dashi.
Xu Dashi is the eldest son of Xu Qingming, the uncle of the original owner.
Old man Xu and Mrs. Xu have two sons and a daughter, and the eldest daughter marries far away and may not come back once a year. Before the second son Xu Qingyan went out, his family was very poor, with only two acres of thin land and a few thatched houses. Later, the second son earned money, so they built a tiled house and bought land, and life gradually improved.
Xu Qingming also has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son is named Xu Dashi, who is 20 years old this year and has married a wife and had children. The second son's name is Xu Ershi, and he is 14 years old this year. The eldest daughter, Xu Daya, is sixteen years old and only got married at the beginning of this year.
And the second room is also two sons and a daughter.
After Xu Qingyan's accident, the old couple and the big house family still helped a lot. Especially when the original owner stole the land, he was so angry that the old man Xu vomited a mouthful of blood, and now his health is not very good. The remaining two acres of land did not dare to be planted by others, Xu Lanzhou dropped out of school to learn to plant by himself, and Xu Qingming and Xu Dashi often went to help or give advice.
Mrs. Xu also occasionally used her private money to buy some meat and eggs for her two grandsons. If she is here, Xu Lanzhou and Xu Lanting will eat some, and when she leaves, those things will be kept for the seriously ill Qin family. But whether the old lady is there or not, she has no part in the original owner.
Xu Dashi didn't enter the house, but only said a few words to Xu Lanzhou outside the door. It means that Carpenter Tian is going to take people into the mountains to cut wood tomorrow, and when he finds him, he recommends Xu Lanzhou again. Carpenter Tian agreed, and asked Xu Lanzhou to bring some dry food and thick clothes tomorrow......
