Chapter 15: To the Town
When night fell, Wang Tieshan, Wang Dahu, and Wang Erhu returned home, and when they saw Xia Zining's appearance, they didn't recognize it for a while, and in the end, Wang Sanhu couldn't hold back his laughter.
Wang Xiahua also looked at her father and two brothers with a dumbfounded look.
Luo Shi laughed, glared at Wang Tieshan and the three of them, and scolded a few men in the family and said, "You three big men are staring at other people's daughters like this, what are you doing with other people's daughters, people have something on their faces to cover up, it's not for the gossip in the village, go to the town tomorrow, this girl won't be able to meet any traffickers if she doesn't disguise herself like this." “
Wang Tieshan and the three of them suddenly realized that the original face was deliberately made, not a different person. After thinking about it, she also understood that her appearance really couldn't be remembered by people with a heart, and she secretly attached Xia Zining to her intelligence.
"Brother, what did you bring back today?" Seeing Wang Dahu holding a small basket in his hand, Wang Sanhu's eyes lit up and asked expectantly.
"This... The eldest brother bought a few fruits and a fish and a little meat from the town. Wang Dahu smiled innocently, grabbed the back of his head and peeked at Xia Zining, and said a little shyly, "Make up for Miss Xia." “
Wang Sanhu lifted the coarse cloth of the lid basket and saw that the contents were really as Wang Dahu said.
"Little brother bothered, thank you." Xia Zining heard Wang Dahu say this, and politely thanked him.
"What are you polite to this girl, your body is so weak or my family is making trouble, don't apologize to my family anymore, make our family even more embarrassed." Luo Zhi was not happy when he heard this, and hurriedly rebuked Xia Zining and said.
"Yes, yes, Miss Xia, don't be polite to us, this is what our family should do." Wang Tieshan took Luo's words and echoed.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to uncles and aunts." Xia Zining smiled faintly and didn't say any more kind words, knowing that this would make their family breathe a sigh of relief and feel more comfortable in their hearts.
Wang Xiahua took the basket in her eldest brother's hand, and I went to wash the fruit. “
"Girl Xia, sit here, I'll go get dinner, Three Tigers, play with Sister Xia." Luo Shi confessed, Wang Sanhu said.
"Got it, mother." Wang Sanhu patted his chest and reassured.
Xia Zining couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Wang Sanhu's clever appearance, and reached out to touch Wang Sanhu's head, Wang Tieshan, Wang Dahu and Wang Erhu laughed when they saw this.
"Miss Xia, Uncle Niu in the village will come with an ox cart to pick us up to the town early tomorrow morning." Wang Tieshan sat on the stool and said to Xia Zining: "It just so happens that we are going to the town to sell firewood and have a companion." “
Xia Zining knew that Wang Tieshan's family had a wooden cart that was pushed away, and this wooden cart still pushed the tied firewood to sell in various mansions.
Xia Zining nodded.
Wang Xiahua washed out three apples and three pears and put them on the table, and took an apple to Xia Zining, "Miss Xia, dinner is not ready yet, let's eat a fruit first." “
Xia Zining also took it politely, and gave the pear in her hand to Wang Sanhu, and Wang Xiahua took another apple to Xia Zining.
"Go get a saucer and a knife." Xia Zining took the apple and said to Wang Xia Huadao.
Waiting for Wang Xiahua to prepare the knife and saucer, Xia Zining picked up the knife and peeled the apple, then cut a few pieces of apples and put them on the plate, and took a pear and peeled it and divided it into several pieces and put it on the plate.
Since there was no toothpick, I had to go straight to it with my hands.
"Let's eat together." As she spoke, Xia Zining took a piece of apple and gave it to Wang Xiahua, and then motioned to Wang Tieshan and a few people, and she also took a piece of apple and ate it.
Wang Tieshan, father and son were a little embarrassed, originally thinking that this fruit was for the guests to eat, but they didn't think that Xia Zining asked them to eat it too, seeing Xia Zining looking at them, several people had to eat their own piece.
Wang Sanhu was satisfied with a pear in his hand, Xia Zining skewered an apple and a pear with a knife and asked Wang Xiahua to go to the kitchen with the handle of the knife and give the fruit to Luo to eat.
"Uncle, I took a walk around the village today, and I heard that Wang Daniu's younger brother's family is going to leave for a while to go to the capital to save their relatives, and this house is intended to be rented out." Xia Zining looked at Wang Tieshan and asked.
"I heard about this, I heard that I will be leaving in a few days, what's wrong Miss Xia, should you be..." Wang Tieshan frowned slightly, could it be that Miss Xia was unhappy to live in her own house and wanted to rent someone's yard?
"Well, I'm just thinking about the time, thinking that it is impossible to stay at my uncle's house all the time, it's not that my uncle's house doesn't live well, it's just that I don't seem to be used to staying in other people's houses like this, if I really rent a place to stay, my uncle's family can also come to me often, this is not a conflict." Xia Zining said with a smile.
Wang Tieshan's father and son's faces darkened, in their opinion, they still can't give her good conditions, otherwise she wouldn't think about moving out alone, since she is not used to living, then as she said, they can usually help her do work.
"In that case, I'll ask later." Wang Tieshan sighed.
Xia Zining nodded.
After breakfast early the next morning, Wang Da Niu in the village drove the ox cart over, only Xia Zining sat in the ox cart, Wang Tieshan sat with Wang Da Niu who was driving the car in order to avoid suspicion, and Wang Dahu and Wang Erhu pushed the wooden cart full of firewood to hurry.
The bumpy and slow ride of the ox cart made Xia Zining uncomfortable and couldn't help the urge to roll her eyes all the way, it was simply slow, like riding a bicycle by herself.
When the ox cart got off in the town, Wang Daniu left, Wang Tieshan took Xia Zining to hang out, Xia Zining asked the largest pharmacy in the town, restaurants, jewelry stores, ready-to-wear stores, etc., Wang Tieshan took Xia Zining to the nearest jewelry store first.
Wang Tieshan told Wang Erhu that he sold firewood and went to wait at the door of Wang Dahu's restaurant.
When he came to the most lively street, Wang Tieshan pointed to a store in front of him and told Xia Zining, "This is the largest jewelry store in the town, and I heard that the owner is a famous family in the capital." “
Xia Zining nodded and walked inside, Wang Tieshan had a little idea of retreating, for such a big store, it was not something that poor people like them could afford to visit, and even if they went in, they would be looked down upon.
However, seeing that Xia Zining was walking confidently in front of him, Wang Tieshan cheered himself up, thinking that he would be driven away by others, and he couldn't see this girl being bullied by others.
When the two of them entered the store, they walked out of the way, and they looked like they were among the best in the town, and their faces were arrogant, and when they saw Xia Zining and the two of them coming in, they unceremoniously mocked loudly, "Get out of the way, poor hillbilly." “
Xia Zining walked in front and did not have a frontal conflict, but Wang Tieshan, who was in the back, was scolded when he entered the door, and hurriedly retreated to the side and waited for the two to pass first.
Xia Zining turned around and glanced at the backs of the two people who left, squinted and looked at it for two seconds before turning around and walking inside.
