Chapter 270: Turned into slag by Ah Jiu (Second Update)

As soon as Mrs. Yu's threatening words came out, Old Man Yu was stunned for seconds.

Nod obediently, and drink the medicine well in the future.

Xia Qiqi stuffed the one or two pieces of silver to Mrs. Yu, and asked her to keep it to buy food for her grandfather, buy rice for the family, and add some things that should be added.

Then Yu Shun and Yu Fu's family affairs should also be inquired by the matchmaker.

Speaking of Yu Shun and Yu Fu's family affairs, Mrs. Yu was full of words.

Naturally, it's not a good thing.

"Family, I asked the matchmaker to inquire a long time ago, but when people heard about our family's situation, they didn't want to come! Even the woman who has been married a few times can't look down on our family! Mrs. Yu sighed.

Also, whose girls are raised by their fathers, I heard that the conditions of Lao Yu's family are not good.

Naturally, I don't want my daughter to marry and suffer.

That's it, let's talk about it when the conditions are good.

"Then wait! Grandma, I was with Ah Jiu, as well as the second and fifth uncles on the nearby hills, picking up some firewood, and I was not at home in the afternoon! Xia Qiqi said.

"Aren't you resting?" Mrs. Yu looked worried.

"Don't rest, go early, come back early, I have to discuss things with my second and fifth uncles at night! If everything is negotiated, Ah Jiu Ming'er and I will go back! Xia Qiqi said.

"Wouldn't you like to stay two more days? Your grandfather is glad to know you're here! Although we don't have anything to eat here, but grandma won't let you go hungry, and we still have a lot of corn kernels at home, so let's cook corn paste for you to eat? Mrs. Yu looked reluctant.

"Grandma, let's not talk about it yet, let's talk about it when we come back!" Xia Qiqi Dao.

After speaking, he led the two uncles and Ah Jiu, took the flat pole, hemp rope, and axe, and rushed out in a hurry.

Mrs. Yu wanted to talk to her, but she couldn't catch up with her.

Looking at the direction she left, Mrs. Yu looked helpless.

This girl is good at everything, but she has too much of her own attention.

He doesn't look like a child at all, he's more adult than an adult!

……

……

The four of them borrowed two carts in the village, and went out of the village and went to Zhoujiagou two miles away.

There is the only hill in the vicinity, where almost all the people in the village collect firewood.

There are many people who go over, and there are naturally not many firewood that can be picked up.

This is also the reason why Xia Qiqi brought an axe.

When the group arrived at the foot of Zhoujiagou Bazi Mountain, Xia Qiqi rushed to Yu Shun and Yu Fudao: "Second uncle, fifth uncle, let's go separately, you can pick up firewood on the ground, dead branches and rotten leaves, it's okay!"

Ah Jiu and I will cut down a few trees with axes, and if you can't find dead branches and leaves, come and pull the trees we cut down, okay? ”

"Cheng, I'll go over here with Lao Wu, you over there!"

The four of them split into two groups and went up the mountain in different directions.

When he arrived in the mountains, it was Lu Jiu's world, even if this mountain was not his territory, he could easily know which land and what animals there were.

The reason why Xia Qiqi and the two brothers Yu Shun and Yu Fu went separately was also an idea.

Let Lu Jiu go and catch some prey and go back, give everyone a tooth sacrifice, and make up for her grandfather's body.

After almost entering the dense forest, Xia Qiqi said to Lu Jiu: "Ah Jiu, can you find any prey nearby?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Jiu nodded, his gaze fell on the forest, looking around.

Sometimes look at the ground, sometimes at the trees.

In a few moments, he set a direction.

Mountain animals, different species, like different environments.

Lu Jiu has been entrenched in the mountains for many years, and naturally relies on the environment to distinguish the location of animals.

He led Xia Qiqi, turning all the way, catching two pheasants and two rabbits.

No matter how big the prey is, there is no one in this forest.

Seeing that the sky was almost dark, Xia Qiqi said to Lu Jiu: "Ah Jiu, it's time for us to chop firewood!" ”

She chose a few trees that were almost dying and asked Lu Jiu to cut them.

This kind of tree is generally out of water for a long time, and it can be burned when you take it back.

It's not like the kind of freshly cut down tree, if you don't bask for three or five days, you can't burn at all.

After cutting down five or six trees, Xia Qiqi asked Lu Jiu to stop.

She originally wanted to pull some by herself, and pull it down several times,

Lu Jiu carried four large logs at a time, and he couldn't even see the road.

In front of Xia Qiqi, carrying the wood, his face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he went down the mountain without panting.

She thought that it would take more than a dozen trips to get it done, but Lu Jiu took three trips.

Every time, the tree he carried was taller than Xia Qiqi.

Xia Qiqi looked at Lu Jiu, who was so strong that he had no opponent, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"This meal was not in vain! Work hard enough! Xia Qiqi muttered.

After three trips, the two carts were full.

Xia Qiqi glanced at the direction in which Yu Shun and Yu Fu went up the mountain, and they seemed to ...... Not down yet.

In the mountains, Yu Shun and Yu Fu also picked up a lot of dead branches and rotten leaves.

Yu Shun has a lot of strength, he has a big bundle on his back, Yu Fu has a bad body since he was a child, how much work his eldest brother can do, he can only do half of it, just like that, he has to rest for half a day.

The two brothers finally went down the mountain with their support.

Seeing Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu, who were already at the foot of the mountain, they were completely dumbfounded.

"My mother, you ...... What are you ...... What did you do? Why is it so fast! Yu Shun was incoherent, and his speech was a little indistinct.

Yu Fu was also frightened into a cold sweat.

No way, it's terrifying!

They went up and down the mountain, thinking they were fast enough.

As a result, not only did they finish their work, but they didn't know how long they had rested.

"Second brother, the two of us are too slow!" Yu Fu blushed and said.

"yes, we ......"

"Not slow, not slow! It's Ah Jiu who is too fast! I didn't do any work, he did it, second uncle, fifth uncle, you put the firewood on your back on the cart, let's go back! Xia Qiqi said with a smile.

Xia Qiqi's words came out, and Yu Shun and Yu Fu became more and more admiring Lu Jiu.

"Qiqi, Ah Jiu is really good!" Yu Shundao.

"Huh?" Xia Qiqi was a little confused, so he didn't know what Yu Shun was doing suddenly.

"Take advantage of it! My mother said that he was your fiancé, and in a month, he would be married! Yu Shun said.

Xia Qiqi: "......"

She really wanted to explain that there was a chance that her relationship with Lu Jiu would not work out.

She is still so young, how can she marry him?

Besides, Lu Jiu doesn't know what it means to get married?

Can't say, though.

If so, there are two more worries.

Forget it, she still took advantage of her time to save enough money to buy a house in the town as soon as possible.

When the time comes, go to the town to buy a house, and then buy Lu Jiu a household registration in the town, who dares to say that she will not be married?

Xia Qiqi's abacus was good, but she didn't pay attention at all, Lu Jiu beside her, when she heard Yu Shun and Yu Fu talk about his marriage to Qiqi, her dark eyes showed a deep meaning.

Lu Jiu has been here for several months, and it's not what Xia Qiqi thinks about at all, he doesn't understand anything!
