Chapter 14: East or West?
As soon as Mrs. Jin entered the door with Shui, Jinzhu and Shui Daxi, Shui Lotus's mother Xu greeted her with red eyes. "Mother, are you back? Mother, did the Qi family find a lotus? ”
"Nope."
Tears fell from Xu's eyes when he heard this.
Old Lady Jin sighed in her heart. When she was looking for a daughter-in-law for his eldest son, she thought that her eldest son would be like his father, honest. If you find a powerful one, I'm afraid that his eldest son won't be able to handle it. So I found someone who was both honest and soft. Such a person is easy to handle, but such a person can't afford it. "Don't cry. I asked Xue Pozi, and Xue Pozi said that Lotus was fine. ”
Xu wiped his tears with his sleeve. "I don't cry. Mother, did Mrs. Xue really say that? ”
"How else can I lie to you? Alright, let's go inside. ”
"Good. Mother, did Xue Pozi say where the lotus is now? ”
"She said she might find it if she looked east."
"Then I'll go out and find it now."
Mrs. Jin said in her heart: If you go out, you may not only not find the lotus, but also lose yourself. "Let the big joy and the second joy go. You're not as fast as theirs. ”
"I ......"
"That's it. Let's go cook. ”
"Okay."
As soon as Xu finished speaking, Shui Daxi's daughter-in-law Zhao and Shui Erxi's daughter-in-law Jia followed in from the door with baskets on their backs.
Zhao: "Grandma, Dad, Daxi, Erxi, are you back?" ”
Jia: "Grandma, have you found the lotus?" ”
Old Lady Jin looked at Shui Daxi. "Tell them. I'll go back to the house and lie down. ”
"Okay."
After Mrs. Jin left, Shui Daxi told Zhao and Jia about today's events from beginning to end.
Jia was reluctant to spend money. "Since Xue Pozi said that Lotus will come back by itself, then don't look for it."
Mizuki didn't speak.
Zhao: "Looking for it, you still have to look for it." Let's go, let's go and steam dry food for Daxi and Erxi. ”
Jia still wanted to speak, but Zhao secretly pinched her. "Mother, you can also go into the house and rest. We'll cook the meal. After speaking, Zhao pulled Jia Shi to the kitchen.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, Jia said, "I know what I just said is not pleasant. But the government and the Qi family are already looking for it. Besides, didn't Xue Pozi say it? Lotus came back on her own in a few days. ”
Zhao Shi said while busy: "That's right. But there are many things that you can't just be reasonable, but also intercede. You will see Erxi later, don't say you won't let you go to find it. If you say Erxi, I'm going to beat you up. ”
"I just feel sorry for those ten taels of silver."
"I feel sorry for you, and I have to hold it."
"Okay." Jia Shi took out a dozen potatoes from the basket. "Sister-in-law, do you think Lotus's life is good or bad? You say she's okay, something like this happened. You said that she was not good, something like this happened, and the Qi family still wanted her. ”
Zhao said while facing each other: "Didn't you say Daxi just now? The Qi family just wants to have a good reputation. ”
After putting the potatoes in the basin, Jia scooped a few scoops of water and poured them into the basin. "The Qi family just wants to have a good reputation, and Lotus can eat fine grains every day in the future."
"That's just as well."
As soon as Zhao finished speaking, Dunzi ran in from outside with Juanzi and Meizi. "Mother, is the meal ready? I am hungry. ”
"Nope. You take your sisters to the yard to play. ”
"Okay. Mother, is my sister-in-law back? ”
Meizi: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law." ”
"Nope. Take your younger siblings out and don't make a mess here. ”
"Mother, why hasn't my sister-in-law come back yet?"
"Go, go!" Zhao drove Dunzi, Juanzi, and Meizi out of the kitchen like a chicken.
The next day, Shui Daxi and Shui Erxi went out with dry food and silver on their backs after breakfast.
Because they didn't know where to look, they looked east as Xue Pozi said.
If they keep looking east, then they may be able to find the water lotus after walking for more than ten days.
Unfortunately, the next day they found out that those people had gone west with the water lotus. So, Shui Daxi was going west to find it.
Shui Erxi was a little hesitant. "Brother, Mrs. Xue said that the lotus flower is in the east."
"That old woman is the one who cheats money."
"But ......"
"Don't. Several people saw the bandits running west with the lotus flowers. "Shui Daxi doesn't know, what those people saw was the stand-in of Xue Gongzi and Water Lotus." Let's go. ”
"Grandma told us to look east."
Syllable!
Shui Daxi patted Shui Erxi's head. "Why are you so brainless? Obviously, so many people saw them running west with lotus flowers, do you have to look for them in the east? ”
"I just think that so many people go to find Xue Pozi, maybe Xue Pozi is really capable."
"He also said that Lotus will come back by herself in a few days, so why don't you just wait at home?"
"I ......"
"Stop inking! Come on! ”
"Okay."
On the other side, Zhuang Tou looked at Xue Gongzi and didn't know what to say. "Why don't you even know this?"
I ...... "I haven't done it before." My daughter-in-law is more difficult. In the past, my daughter-in-law did all the work. ”
The village chief looked at the two dark circles on Xue Gongzi's face. "No wonder your daughter-in-law dares to beat you. It turns out that you used to rely on your daughter-in-law to support you. ”
A middle-aged man who was about ten meters away from Xue Gongzi whispered to his son beside him: "Study hard, if you are like the new man, you won't know anything." Then you will also be laughed at by others in the future, and you will also be beaten by your wife. ”
"Dad, I see. Dad, don't worry, I don't eat soft rice. ”
"Good. Ambitious. Daddy told you......"
They speak very quietly. But Xue Gongzi has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Therefore, Xue Gongzi spat blood in his heart. "Zhuangtou, you tell me how to do this work? I promise to learn in one day. ”
Zhuang Tou looked at Xue Gongzi with disdain. "It's still a day to learn? My son learned it in an hour. ”
"That'...... Then I learned it in half an hour. ”
"You just blow it."
Half an hour later, the village chief looked down on Xue Gongzi even more. "You said that you can learn to put all the work on your daughter-in-law. Why are you so lazy? No wonder your daughter-in-law beat you. I'm telling you, you can't be lazy here. If you're lazy, I'll give you the dirtiest and most tiring work. ”
Xue Gongzi: "......" knew that he would learn more slowly.
In the evening, Xue Gongzi looked at the water lotus while eating roasted sweet potatoes and said, "It's all your fault." ”
Water Lotus laughed when she heard it. "Good, good. It's all my fault. Okay, right? ”
"Humph!"
After eating, the water lotus put the stone in the middle of the pit. After setting up the stones, the water lotus put a quilt on the stones.
"Why are you covering the stones with a quilt?"
"I'm afraid you'll fall asleep and crash into a rock. If you hit a rock, tomorrow someone will see it and say that I hit it. ”
"I won't hit the rocks."
"Then I'll take the covers off?"
"I'm afraid you'll bump into it." After speaking, Xue Gongzi got into his bed. "Blow. Go to bed. ”
The next morning, there was another scream from Xue Gongzi and Shui Lotus's house!
