Chapter 8: The Girl Who Chased the Rabbit (1)
The Hua family in Liujia Village is the richest family in the village, Hua Xi'er is the old daughter of the Hua family, and the old man and his wife saw a lot of Lang Zhong and took a lot of medicine to give birth to Hua Xi'er's baby daughter, so they love this hard-won daughter very much, almost to give something.
Hua Xi'er raised two snow-white rabbits without a trace of miscellaneous hair, which were brought back from outside by the old man of the Hua family.
The rabbit's reproductive ability is very strong, and within a few months, two rabbits gave birth to six little rabbits, and the old man Hua asked Liu Dahe to help make a few more big cages.
With so many cute little rabbits, Hua Xi'er was very happy, but Granny Hua couldn't stand it, so many rabbits were raised together, not to mention how bad the smell was. So Granny Hua allocated a remote corner of her backyard to Hua Xi'er to raise rabbits, which was far away from the main house, and the main house would smell lighter, so Hua Xi'er moved all the cages to that corner.
As the eight little rabbits grew up, they had to consume a lot of grass every day, so the Hua family started to pay for the villagers, so that the villagers could help cut the grass and feed the rabbits.
The wages of the Hua family are very generous, helping the Hua family to cut half a day's grass can be worth the salary of a laborer in the town for a whole day, and the people of Liujia Village are happy to have such an errand, and adults and children are rushing to mow the grass. If the grass is delivered late, it doesn't matter if the flower family has already harvested enough that day, they will use it to feed their livestock, in short, it will definitely not be a loss.
The people in the village are looking forward to the rabbits of the Hua family to give birth to more and more, so that everyone can cut more grass and make more money, and the rabbits of the Hua family have lived up to everyone's expectations, and a lot of cute rabbits have been added in a few months.
On this day, Mrs. Zhao at home helped Hua Xi'er to feed the rabbits together, but accidentally let the rabbits escape.
After the rabbit escaped from the cage, it ran as fast as it could, jumping east and west and quickly slipped out of the gate, and Hua Xi'er chased after it and shouted loudly: "Help me catch the rabbit." ”
A few children who came to deliver the grass hurriedly put down the grass and helped chase the rabbits.
Liu Dahe's family and Hua's family live diagonally opposite, Xiao Qi is an edible one, and he is holding a steamed bun in each hand at the gate of the courtyard, hearing Hua Xi'er say to catch a rabbit, he immediately handed the steamed bun in his hand to Liu Ergou's son Little Mouse, and ran to the door of Hua's house quickly. The little mouse saw her saliva flowing onto her clothes when she ate steamed buns, Xiao Qi had already broken half of the steamed buns for him just now, and he ate them all in two bites.
Hua Xi'er saw that the rabbit was about to run out of sight, and then a figure chased after her and grabbed the rabbit. Hua Xi'er was stunned, she had heard of light gong in the teahouse, could it be that there was a hidden master in Liujia Village? Soon Hua Xi'er saw the man's face, it was actually Xiao Qi, but she didn't expect this girl to run so fast when she was chubby.
Xiao Qi picked up the rabbit and happily ran back and handed it to Hua Xi'er: "Aunt Xi, your rabbit is really fast." It's a pity that the rabbit is so clever that the two ran separately, and I only caught up with this one, and the other one didn't know where it went. ”
Hua Xi'er smiled with crooked eyebrows: "No matter how fast it runs, it's not caught by you, thank you Xiao Qi, you are so amazing." ”
Xiao Qi was a little shy when she heard Hua Xi'er praise her for being amazing, she noticed that Hua Xi'er's hair was messy, so she pointed to Hua Xi'er's hair and grinned: "Aunt Xi, your hair is messy." ”
Hua Xi'er's hairpin didn't know when it fell off, and her hair was messy like straw at this time.
Hua Xi'er listened to Xiao Qi's words and immediately took out a small bronze mirror the size of a palm from her body, and looked at the mirror and was startled: "My hairstyle looks a bit like a monster in a picture book." ”
Xiao Qi: "Aunt Xi, do you still have a mirror with you?" ”
Hua Xi'er is serious: "Exactly, my daughter's family should pay attention to its image...... Well, I remember you had two sheep at home. ”
Xiao Qi: "Yes, those two sheep were bought by my brother pestering my father, and now my brother is herding sheep outside the village." ”
The two walked while talking, Hua Xi'er: "My mother dislikes too many rabbits at home every day, I'll give you two, anyway, your family will raise sheep, and raising rabbits and sheep should be about the same." You go back and ask your father to make a cage for you, and when it's done, come to my house to get the rabbits, my mother has become more and more impatient with me raising rabbits, and has threatened to throw them all away several times. ”
Xiao Qi looked pity: "How can I lose it, it's better to kill and eat it." ”
Hua Xi'er saw that this child who was five years younger than her looked calm when he said the word killing, and her heart trembled, are the children so strong in their hearts now?
The two walked a few steps, and Xiao Qi picked up the pearl hairpin that Hua Xi'er had dropped on the ground and handed it to her.
Hua Xi'er took the hairpin: "Thank you, Xiao Qi, remember to come to my house to get the rabbit when you make a cage." ”
Xiao Qi: "Okay, my brother likes small animals." ”
After experiencing several incidents of rabbits escaping from the cage, Mr. Hua couldn't bear the soft grinding and hard bubbles of his baby daughter, and spent money to find people in the village to build an earthen house for the rabbit.
However, what made Hua Xi'er even more desperate was that from the day the earth house began to be used, the rabbit escaped more fiercely, often taking advantage of Hua Xi'er and Zhao Pozi to open the door to feed the grass, and even dug a hole from the ground to escape from the house, just in response to the word cunning rabbit three holes, Hua Xi'er's head is big, and she has to call Xiao Qi for help almost every day.
Because Xiao Qi often helps Hua Xi'er chase rabbits, Hua Granny is grateful, and deliberately chooses a piece of beautiful floral material to send to Liu Dahe's house, and says to Niu's family: "Xiao Qi's mother, you make a dress for Xiao Qi to wear this piece of material, this time I trouble your Xiao Qi, I often help Xi'er catch rabbits, and I may often trouble your Xiao Qi in the future." ”
Niu's mouth was full of response, and he couldn't help but look at the material sent by the flower mother-in-law, the small yellow flowers on it were really beautiful, this is a new style, she went to the town a few days ago to catch the market and didn't see this color, she felt that this material might be brought back from the old man from outside.
She was in a good mood, and she was thinking about sending this piece of material to Niujia Village to her mother Yu, her mother Yu had been worried all her life, and she had never worn such a good material, and she would be very happy to see this material.
Niu saw that he had saved a lot of eggs at home, and wanted to bring some eggs for Yu's to replenish his body, so he put some straw in the basket and filled most of the basket of eggs out of the courtyard. As soon as I walked outside the hospital, I saw Xiao Qi eating steamed buns face-to-face with the children at the opposite door, Niu's heart was very angry, this heart-warming child, even if he ate too much, he often gave the steamed buns at home to the children at the opposite door to eat, which was really a loser.
So Niu said to Xiao Qi: "Why don't you go to your aunt's house quickly, and then help chase after the rabbit runs away." ”
Xiao Qi was very obedient and hurriedly walked to Hua's house.
Holding a beautiful floral cloth in his left hand and a basket in his right hand, Niu raised his chin and walked all the way towards the entrance of the village. Now is not the season of farming, many women gathered at the entrance of the village to do work, looking at the arrogant appearance of the Niu family, they couldn't help but whisper.
"This beautiful daughter-in-law just can't be married, think about the Niu family, and then think about Liu Ergou's family."
"Liu Ergou is poor and troubled, so I had to buy a blind mother-in-law, Dahe is different, Dahe will make more money."
"Look, even if Dahe can make money, he can't save anything at home, and the Niu family will send everything to his mother's house."
"This cloth looks very rare, and it's worth a lot of money."
"That's it, this loser ......"
Niu walked past the women, listened to the women's words and disagreed, my family's things, I am happy and I am happy, you also want to take things back to your mother's house, but unfortunately the family is poor and has nothing to take.
In order to anger these women, Niu deliberately pointed to the broken flower material and said to the women: "This is sent by the Hua family, the baby rabbit of the Hua family often escapes, and it is my Xiaoqi who helped chase it back, so the Hua family sent this piece of material to my family." After speaking, Niu raised his chin and left the village.
The women exploded the pot, thinking that when they went home, they had to hurry up and let their children go to the Hua family to help chase the rabbit, how good it was to chase the rabbit, how good it would be to get such a beautiful fabric from the Hua family, and how beautiful it would be to make clothes and wear them on the body.
In the following days, the children in the village went to the Hua family to help chase the rabbits, there were too many children, and the Hua family yard was messed up inside and outside the courtyard, and the flower mother-in-law was very worried.
