Chapter 146: Hua Gu
Speaking without such a big panting, Ji Xiang almost spat out on Zhang Bangfu. Her loud shouting made Chen Jiean's caring eyes not leave for a moment, she smiled with relief, and briefly expressed Zhang Jiefu's words.
In ancient times, Chen Jie'an had a modern knowledge know-it-all by his side, and many things were imperceptibly self-taught. "Want a child?"
"It's Zhang Bangfu who said it, there may be people above who come to us to see the progress of the relationship between the two of us." Chen Jiean's expression told her that she didn't understand. So he spent at least a moment on the road explaining the reason for his strange actions earlier.
Chen Xie An explained, "I probably understand." Ji Xiang just picked up some easier explanations and told them to Chen Jie'an, after all, he was living in a daze.
"That Xiang'er, how are you going to hide from the world. Brother Zhang is extremely strange, and he must be a person with outstanding ability. Can't she see that you're pretending to be pregnant? Chen Xie An imagined all this as an alternative immortal, so that many things that were felt wrong could be fooled.
Only by deceiving oneself can one deceive others. Xiang'er is so special, she must not let others know about this, otherwise the consequences will ...... They can't face it.
[System, I think Xiang Gong is right.] Ji Xiang felt that Chen Jie'an made sense, she clenched the man's hand, and a warm touch came from her palm. Chen Xie An didn't treat her as a monster, and many times she didn't look like a normal person at all. That's right, since he can be an indigenous male protagonist, he won't be an ordinary person.
[Can I really hide my fake pregnancy from those people, after all, the things in your headquarters are so magical, I still remember the miracle medical system, and as soon as I open it, the prescription will be prescribed for you.] Ji Xiang muttered, Zhang suddenly got rich when he heard it, just thinking about how to deal with those old fritters in the headquarters is not a normal person.
[Also, why are they coming here.] Didn't you say that you would let us go for the time being, should you be caught checking the information? Seeing that Ji Xiang was going to throw the pot on his body, the clever Zhang Bangfu began to rummage through the cabinets in the space.
Hey, hey, hey, a few times, Zhang Yufu shouldn't ignore it. Looking at Chen Jie'an, who was waiting to talk to her, his nervous heart relaxed a little. This system is not the same as others, there is intelligence, gold fingers, and emotions, but there is no fast and sense of upgrading. He gave himself a very vague position, he didn't want to promote his love with Chen Jie'an, and he didn't focus on the host's career, saying that he was a little bit of the headquarters, and now he was leaking the boss's bottom, drinking the stolen soup, and thinking about the meat in the pot.
Before he could think about it, Ji Xiang thought silently and calmed down his mind. "Xianggong, I'm sorry. There are still a lot of things I can't tell you now, not because I don't want to, but because these things are so complicated that it will take several days to talk about them. I'll let you know as soon as I've figured everything out. ”
"Xiang'er." Chen Xie An called out to Ji Xiang emotionally, and his hand tightened a little. Ji Xiang, who felt the pressure, couldn't help but want to pull out his hand, but in the end he endured it and looked at him with a light in his eyes.
"Xianggong, don't look at it, blame me for being weak-hearted, and I thought there was something dirty on my face." After a long time, Chen Jiean's gaze stuck to his face and did not leave, and Ji Xiang, who boasted that he was not thin-skinned, lowered his head, and his ears were red from the root of his ears to his neck. It's over, this time it's a shame and a big shame, and it's gone.
Without waiting for Chen Jie'an to speak, Ji Xiang grabbed his hand and hurriedly ran towards the village.
After finding a few villagers, there were finally good couples who were willing to stay with them. The family's surname is Pu, the male owner's name is Pu Xing, and the hostess's surname is Lin. Coincidentally, this Lin family and Ji Xiang's mother-in-law are from the same village.
After marrying far away to Dawan Village, the father and mother of the Pu family died of fatigue and illness, leaving behind a three-year-old brother.
Now seven or eight years have passed, Lin Xujin, the younger brother of the Pu family, is ten years old and went to the Peilin School in Nan'an County. Therefore, there is the fragrance of books and ink in the home, but the hospitality is not excessive.
In this way, in the past three days, Lu Bing's face has not yet been seen, and Ji Xiang has already figured out a lot of gossip in Dawan Village.
"Sister Ji Xiang, sister-in-law Pu, you are here." As soon as noon passed, the smoke stopped in the house. The two sat in the shade of a tree, doing their work and talking. Ji Xiang was holding the big pu fan and was fanning, and the little girl outside the door poked her head out, she was not very old, she was in her prime, and she was clever and eccentric.
There are a pair of younger siblings at home, and their parents work in the fields, and the laundry and cooking at home are basically handed over to the little girl. So much so that his complexion was tanned, yellow and red, and his hand bones were rough and wide, like a fan in Ji Xiang's hand.
She wore two braided bunches of hair on her head, a red rope, and a blue-blue dress with white corners. The lady of the Pu family called out in surprise, "Aunt Hua, come in." Ouch, what is in this hand, it looks very heavy. ”
Hua Gu smiled embarrassedly and tilted the wooden basin slightly so that both of them could see it. "Isn't this water chestnut in the lake, my younger siblings love to eat it. It's tender now, Sister Ji Xiang, you shouldn't have eaten it, come and touch a few handfuls to taste it. ”
"No, no, I see that you have a hard time holding it, do you want me to send it to your house?" Ji Xiang's strength is not small, and he doesn't need it at all in Sister-in-law Pu's house, but he still feels uncomfortable.
Hua Gu shook her head vigorously, "Sister Ji Xiang, I'm fine." Don't look at me thin, I can move the millet at home. Don't be stunned, sister-in-law, take a bowl and I'll put it up for you. ”
As she spoke, the grinning Hua Gu came in and insisted on touching Ji Xiang a few handfuls. Don't look at the water chestnuts in this wooden basin, but they were all touched by the little girl herself, Ji Xiang saw her water-soaked clothes at once, and the straw shoes were also full of silt.
"Take it and eat, sister-in-law Pu, I still have to go back to wash my clothes, so I won't bother you to talk to Sister Ji Xiang." Regardless of Ji Xiang's retention, the little girl left as if she had fled.
After a long time, Sister-in-law Pu did the work in her hands and couldn't help but sigh. "Hua Gu is really pitiful, she is so young, and she has to pick all the burdens of the family."
"Alas, the children of the poor are in charge of the house early." Ji Xiang looked at the bowl of water chestnuts and felt very uncomfortable, she knew Hua Gu when she saw that little girl being bullied when she was wandering around the village. Ji Xiang, who had already sworn not to meddle in his affairs anymore, still couldn't control himself, so he went up and told a "big truth".
Those are also ignorant children, knowing that Hua Gu is protected by someone and scattered. She gave her some fruits that she didn't want, and the little girl remembered them in her heart, and every time she came to her, she would give her some fruits that she had picked.
"Ji Xiang, don't blame me for pouring cold water for you. Such a well-behaved child, left in my house, no matter how poor he is, is the pearl in his hand. But Aunt Hua and her father, where is treating people as children, they are obviously looking for a maid who doesn't want money. Sister-in-law Pu has always spoken tactfully, and when she talks about Hua Gu, her eyes are bursting out of sparks, and she can't wait to wipe the parents who don't act clean.
Where did this sister-in-law get such a big hatred?
When I asked, I learned that Hua Gu's father Hua Tian was an alcoholic, and he went to the county town to buy wine when he had a little money, and his family was so poor that he was all ruined. In addition to spending money, he will also get drunk and beat people, and Hua Girl's mother was almost beaten to death.
"Why not dissociate? I remember that the Chinese law said that even if a woman asks for it, the yamen will accept it. ”
Sister-in-law Pu shook her head slightly, her fingertips rested on the stone table, and there was a covered well on the side, so a naughty wind blew the hair of the tree, and the cloud jumped and ran to the side, as if someone was chasing him.
"I'd rather demolish a temple than a marriage. Besides, Hua Girl's mother was sold here, and she has no brains and lives. Sister-in-law Pu nodded her head, "It's really reconciled, where can she go?" Close the door, everyone has their own scriptures, and those that are difficult to read and read are not the turn of outsiders to interfere. We can only try to help Hua Gu, anyway, we will get married in a few years, and life should be a little better at that time. ”
I never expected Hua Gu's life to be so miserable, thinking of the unquenchable smile on her face, I felt more and more sorry for her in my heart.
"Ji Xiang, sister-in-law has a lot of words, you and Brother Chen are not from our Dawan Village, you will all leave sooner or later." Sister-in-law Pu was shrewd, and she quickly saw Ji Xiang's thoughts, she didn't agree, and she didn't want Ji Xiang to do something that would make Hua Gu in a dilemma. "Hua Gu is from here, even if she marries, she will marry as the daughter of the old Hua family, do you understand? Don't meddle in things, no matter how good your heart is, you can't match the facts. ”
Sister-in-law Pu didn't help, she went to Lizheng at the time, planning to report to the official. Hanada's daughter-in-law came to me and told me not to go, and said that she was nosy.
She didn't regret helping Hua Girl and her mother that time, but she felt cold. You think that people are in deep water, and you need to pull a hand to get ashore when it is hot, but she mocks you for not being able to manage yourself well and wanting to be a good person.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't embarrass Hua Gu." Ji Xiang smiled and dispelled Sister-in-law Pu's worries. "Why haven't my father-in-law and Brother Pu Xing come back yet?"
"What, do you miss Brother Chen? Wait, Lao Pu is obsessed with hunting, and knowing that your husband is the number one, he will naturally stay for a while. I guess you'll come back before sunset, are you bored? If you go to Lu Bing's house, his flower field is down our road, and it looks very good. By the way, she also went to dig some wild vegetables and came back, it rained last night, and the ground was still damp, so there should be a lot of fungus.
Lao Pu loves to eat this and has been thinking about it for a long time.
The two of them packed up and decided to go outside. Before the door was locked, I heard Hua Gu's cry.
"Mother, mother, help. Dad, don't fight, don't fight. ”
"Woo woo, sister, sister, I'm scared."
"Woo woo woo ......"
Ji Xiang glanced at Sister-in-law Pu, who lowered her eyebrows slightly and shook her head unbearably. "Dog mongrel, let you bark and let you bark. Do you know what your mother is? She actually gave Lao Tzu a ...... stealing men outside"
"I didn't...... The one who is in charge has no ...... Ah, it hurts, flower girl, my mother's back hurts......"
"Daddy! Don't beat your mother, her injuries aren't healed yet. ”
", you dogs dare stop me! They're all dead, and they're all going to die for me today......"
Crackling, the sound of sticks hitting things in the yard. Ji Xiang felt that something was wrong and hurried over. The door was not closed tightly, and Ji Xiang saw Hua Gu blocking in front of his aunt from that gap.
The wrist-thick stick was held in Hua Tian's hand, "Hua Gu, you get out of the way for me!" ”
No, Hua Gu looked at him directly, her thin back trembling but she didn't back down. The angry Hua Tian didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he only felt that the anger in his head had robbed him of his reason, and he only gritted his teeth when he looked at Hua Gu.
"Bastard, you think I don't dare! Give me all the death. "The stick, the child broke through the air, bringing out the sparks, Hua Gu closed her eyes violently, die, anyway, in this family, it is better to live than to die.
