Chapter 44 Design
Since Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu went to Dong's house more than ten days ago, Dong Lei has been coming from home to Xu's house slowly and leisurely on crutches every morning after breakfast.
In the first two days, this incident did not attract the attention of the villagers, but when spring came, Dong Lei was bored after raising it at home for so many days.
But for several days in a row, he went out in the morning every day and came back in the afternoon near evening, which naturally attracted the attention of the people in the village.
The neighbor of the Dong family, who is sixteen years old and is anxious to find someone to marry.
Although Liu Er is old enough to get married, if she stays for another year, she will be normal in the village near Xiahe Village.
And before she fell in love with Dong Lei, it was because Dong Lei worked as a partner in the restaurant in the town, and he was the most suitable candidate for the public in Xiahe Village and even several nearby villages.
And the Dong family is next door, if she marries into the Dong family, she will be able to take care of her younger brothers and sisters every day in the future.
Because that's what Liu Er said to her father, although Liu Er's father didn't say it, she also supported it in her heart.
But since two months ago, after Dong Lei's leg was broken and he lost his restaurant buddy, Liu Er's father and mother were unwilling.
But in recent days, Liu Er has discovered that Dong Lei goes to Xu's house every day.
She also wanted to use a boiled egg to trick Dong Zhen into telling her what Dong Lei was doing at Xu's house a few days ago, but how could Dong Zhen, who had been told tell her.
But it was precisely because she couldn't inquire that Liu Er felt that this matter must be very important.
In addition, although the Dong family did not say it recently, they were all beaming, Liu Er was sure that the Dong family must have a happy event, and it was also a happy event related to Dong Lei.
Liu Er pondered at home alone for several days, and according to Dong Lei's visit to Xu's house every day, and after he came back, he was still teaching Dong Miao and Dong Zhen in the courtyard to know counting, and deduced that Dong Shu was afraid that her father-in-law promoted Dong Lei, a cousin.
Liu Er will have this inference, which is also inferred from Dong Lei's previous kindness to Dong Shu, and Dong Shu's previous attitude towards the Dong family.
I have to say that Liu Er is still quite smart, but her mind is not right.
After deducing this possibility, Liu Er wanted to try hard for herself again.
Dong Lei's appearance is already good, and he may now have a job that the people in the village envy, Liu Er is naturally reluctant to give up.
Dong Lei didn't know that Liu Er had a calculating mind about him again, recently, he followed Xu Shiqiu to learn to read and settle accounts at Xu's house every day, because he ate at Shihuan Courtyard at noon every day, after so many days, he found that he was not only in good spirits, but also much stronger.
Dong Lei's changes are naturally seen by people who have a heart.
It is precisely because of Dong Lei's obvious changes that Dai has been able to endure until now.
But as there are more and more discussions about Dong Lei in the village, it must be impossible to hide this matter for long.
On this day, Dong Lei still walked slowly to Xu's house on crutches after breakfast as usual, but as soon as he walked out of the door, he met his mother's cousin, Xiao Dai.
As soon as he saw Xiao Dai's, Dong Lei was immediately stunned, and then he quickly reacted, this aunt was afraid that she was waiting for her here.
Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Dai and greeted him unhurriedly: "Auntie, is this coming to the house to find my mother?" My mother went to the field with my father early in the morning, and only Miao'er was there at home. ”
Dong Lei saw that Xiao Dai's voice had just fallen, and specially chose Xiao Dai, who was not at home from the Dong family, and immediately shook: "I came to find your nephew for you." After saying this, Xiao Dai didn't wait for Dong Lei to open his mouth and continued: "Lei'er, my aunt asked you something, you go to Xu's house every day, and your cousin asked you to go?" I see you've gained weight these days, what kind of delicious food did she make for you? ”
Listening to Xiao Dai's words in a joking tone, Dong Lei first looked at Xiao Dai's and smiled, and then nodded at her, and said softly: "Hmm." ”
Seeing that Dong Lei just said 'um' and didn't plan to continue talking, the expression on Xiao Dai's face suddenly froze, and she was just about to continue to ask, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Cousin, you're here to find me?" Dai panted and watched as little Dai had just finished saying this, and then looked directly at Dong Lei and said, "Lei'er, you go and get busy with your affairs, there is a mother here." ”
Dai heard the news from Dong Miao who had smuggled out of the vegetable garden in his backyard in the field, so he hurried back.
Dong Miao was about to go out to wash clothes with her clothes when Dong Lei first went out, but she saw her aunt standing sneakily in the distance.
She didn't go out from the main entrance, but went straight out of the fence in the backyard vegetable patch and ran all the way to her own field.
As soon as Dai heard that Xiao Dai was in front of her house, she guessed that she wanted to use her identity as an elder to inquire about what Dong Lei was doing.
If this was before, how could the Dai family have to show off with the little Dai family, but since Dong Lei specially confessed, after seeing his son grow meat in the past few days, he made up his mind to hide this matter.
Although Dai is calculating and patriarchal, he still attaches great importance to Dong Lei, the eldest son.
Dong Lei also understood his mother's combat effectiveness, so after his mother finished saying this, he nodded at his mother, and then said: "Then I'll leave first, mother, you will go home and take a breath and drink saliva before going to the field." Your body is important, don't get tired. ”
After Dong Lei said this to Dai with concern, Dai immediately showed a happy smile.
Dai's concern for Dong Lei is very useful, and she will also think that if the eldest son becomes a manager in the future, her whole body will immediately be full of fighting spirit.
Dong Lei watched his mother go from tired to full of fighting spirit, and then left with confidence and walked towards the Xu family.
Seeing Dong Lei leave like this, Xiao Dai's was naturally reluctant to reach out to intercept him, but what Dai's thought was that his son would have a good life after becoming a steward, where would Xiao Dai's be allowed to destroy.
Seeing that Xiao Dai wanted to reach out to stop Dong Lei, Dai immediately reached out to stop her arm, and then directly took her to his yard with half a drag and half a pull.
While bringing it back, he said: "It just so happens that you haven't been here for a long time, come in and talk to our sisters." ”
Dai's body is thicker than Xiao Dai's, and his strength is also greater than that of Xiao Dai's. This will make her feel motivated again, and she will naturally pull Xiao Dai away smoothly.
Although Dai's timely appearance did not delay Dong Lei for long at the door of the house, but later, in order to avoid other people in the village, Dong Lei's arrival at Shihuan Courtyard today was still much later than in the past.
Seeing Dong Lei appear, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Dong Shu didn't wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak, so he looked at Dong Lei and said, "Cousin, is there something to delay today?" As she spoke, Dong Shu walked directly to the table, picked up the kettle, and poured Dong Lei a glass of warm water.
Dong Shu watched Dong Lei just finish asking this, and Xu Shiqiu found that Dong Lei was sweating on his forehead.
Seeing this scene, Xu Shiqiu was slightly stunned, and then roughly guessed what the reason was.
He chuckled and shook his head, then looked at Cuihua who was standing at the door, and asked Cuihua to bring water to Dong Lei to wipe his face, then looked at Dong Lei and said, "Was you stopped on the way here?" ”
After Dong Lei sat down and took a breath and drank a glass of warm water, he had the strength to look at Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu and said, "When I went out today, I was stopped by my aunt. After saying this, Dong Lei raised his hand and poured himself a glass of warm water, and then continued slowly: "Later, I met many people in the village along the way, and in order to avoid them, I took a detour. ”
If his leg hadn't been broken, Dong Lei wouldn't have been so tired at all.
But now his legs are not good, and he is still really tired from walking all the way with crutches.
As soon as Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Lei's words, the two immediately glanced at each other, and then Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "This matter was really agreed by Xianggong." ”
Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and just finished saying this, Xu Shiqiu smiled at her and shook his head: "It's not uncommon to guess this matter, my cousin comes to us every day, and after coming down for so many days, he will definitely attract the attention of others." ”
On the first day of coming here, Dong Lei told Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu that he wanted to hide this in advance.
Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had no opinion on this matter, since Dong Lei wanted to hide it, they didn't take the initiative to publicize it.
But in private, the two of them discussed the matter and felt that they couldn't hide it for long.
Although Dong Lei didn't know that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had discussed this matter in private, but now that he heard the words of the two of them, he could guess that they were not optimistic that they could keep this matter hidden.
Thinking of this, Dong Lei looked up at the two of them and said, "Just try to hide it, if it really comes to the day when I can't hide it, I'll talk about it." ”
Xu Shiqiu didn't understand why Dong Lei was hiding it, but Dong Shu guessed more or less.
Hearing his cousin's words, Dong Shu nodded directly, then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Xianggong, it's not early today, you hurry up and check what we learned yesterday, and then I'll cook earlier, and let my cousin go back early today." ”
As soon as Dong Shu's words fell, Dong Lei didn't react to what she meant, until Xu Shiqiu shook her head at Dong Shu with a smile and said that she 'had a good way', she wanted to stagger herself from the time she went back in the past, so as to avoid those people in the village.
For Dong Shu's proposal, Dong Lei naturally accepted it gladly.
But Dong Lei didn't know that he could avoid many people in the village, but there was no way to avoid his neighbor, Liu'er.
Dong Lei didn't stay in Shihuan Courtyard for a long time today, and after eating at noon, after learning a few words, he went home with a bowl of braised pork that he didn't finish at noon.
On the way back, Dong Lei still thought that if he brought the meat back today, his mother would definitely be happy.
After studying for so many days, he still had time in the afternoon, so he reviewed it at home and prepared to teach his younger siblings.
As soon as Dong Lei left, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu packed up their things and prepared to go to the main courtyard to see Xu Yanzhu, and then happened to stay in the main courtyard to accompany Mrs. Xu and Xu Yanzhu to have dinner together.
It's just that not long after they arrived at the main courtyard, Dong Zhen ran to the side door of Xu's house in a panic and brought a news that shocked Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu.
"You said that my cousin was caught and made Liu Er?"
