Chapter 6: The Storm by the Creek

Xiaobao opened his mouth wide, and he didn't react until Li Xin took the laundry stick in his hand, after all, it was a child's heart, and he went to see the ants under the big tree.

"Aunt her, do you think I'm wrong? Didn't Du Xiaobao's child wash clothes before? Why did the fat woman come to wash herself with compassion today? ”

"That's not, I think I'm afraid that the eldest brother of the Fang family will divorce her, after all, she is lazy and ugly, I heard that her mother's family forced it into Brother Fang, and she didn't even want a dowry, you said that if she gave a holiday, where could she go, I think it is impossible to change her mind, and she will pretend to be a few days away, do you say that the big family in the village is what she can think of, it is nothing more than teasing her, I can't imagine that she really thinks she is a green onion." As she spoke, the girl who was drifting clothes laughed to herself.

Xiaobao, who was not far away, listened to their words, his eyes were red in a hurry, and he stretched his neck to look at his sister-in-law, still washing his clothes as if nothing had happened, but the old grandmother who was washing cloth shoes on the side scolded: "Chunhua, you are an unmarried girl, you are not afraid of panic when you talk about these, and you will go back to the people in the village and tell the people in the village, the matchmaker will not dare to go to your house." ”

"Grandma Dongzi, people are just telling a joke after dinner, don't say it seriously, scare us our spring flowers, but you will be asked to pay for the herbs." Chunhua's mother saw that her daughter was ridiculed by Grandma Dongzi, and she was immediately unhappy.

Xiaobao also stood up and ran over angrily: "You are not allowed to bully my sister-in-law." ”

"You are so kind, donkey liver and lungs, you forgot how she beat you before, let you wash her clothes, in the winter, and let you wash her gown, how can you not tell the difference between good and bad." Chunhua's mother said that she lifted her clothes and shouted that Chunhua was gone, saying that she was bad luck today and wanted to go home and burn some wormwood to get rid of bad luck.

After a while, the women who had washed their clothes also took their clothes back, after all, the sun was poisonous, and no one wanted to stay longer, and for a while, there were only Grandma Dongzi, Li Xin and Xiaobao.

"Thank you, grandma." Li Xin wrung out the clothes in his hand, put them in the basket, and sincerely thanked Grandma Dongzi.

"What's so polite, when you bullied Xiaobao in the past, I didn't ridicule you less, I can't see others being unreasonable. Fang Rong is a good boy, you also take care of it, and it is better to live a good life than anything else. "Grandma Dongzi also left with the washed shoes.

Li Xin still washed the clothes unhurriedly, washed them well, and after wringing them out, he asked Xiaobao to take the yard to dry first, and then bring the clothes to be washed at home.

The two of them were busy back and forth like this until the sun was in the west, and they almost washed the things in a yard, Li Xin stood up and patted his already sorely numb waist, Xiaobao hurriedly came up and waved his little fist to help Li Xin beat Li Xin and roared to the sky again, such a caring child, how did the original owner go to the black hand before.

"We'll take the clothes home and come out to catch fish when it's dark."

"Sister-in-law, we can't catch it at dawn, can we do it when it's dark?"

"I don't know if it's going to work, let's try."

After going back, because the pulp was washed for a day, it was too tired, and the two of them ate a corn tortilla and fell asleep with boiled water.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, Li Xin was a little embarrassed and said: "I fell asleep last night, I didn't take you to catch fish, let's go to the mountains during the day, it's summer, and it rained again the day before yesterday, lucky enough to pick up some mushrooms and come back." ”

Xiaobao rubbed his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, didn't you say that there are many insects on the mountain, isn't it where you go?" ”
