When I got up in the morning, the sky was clear again, Ziqing went out to see the melon seedlings, but they were still staggering, and it took a few days to help them up, which is a later story.

As soon as the day was clear, Shen came out to dry rape quickly, and then went out to see Zhou's again, and bought some meat and vegetables by the way. After coming back, Shen said that the big trees on the side of the road were uprooted, and there were broken branches everywhere, which was terrible. However, she picked up a lot of branches as firewood, pulled Ziqing back and forth several times, and piled them up like a hill.

Shen said that Ziping's father came back and wanted to take Zhou to live in the city for a while, and by the way, he wanted to find a doctor in the city to show Zhou. Ziqing thought that the Shen clan must hope that the Zhou clan would be cured better than anyone else.

Listening to Shen's meaning, the old man and Tian were a little reluctant, probably because the eldest son wanted to rent a house in the city, and besides, rice, noodles, vegetables and vegetables were not as convenient as at home. But Zeng Ruiqing can't go home every day, Zhou can't move, and it's really inconvenient that no one takes care of him. Ziping naturally went to serve with her. Shen went home and picked up another basket of eggs to send to him, saying that everything in the city costs money.

The subsequent weather did not feel any different from previous years, but felt that there was more rain, Zeng Ruiyu reluctantly planted the seedlings in the paddy field, drizzling every day, the mountains in the distance, the villages nearby, the town was wrapped in a vast field of smoke and rain, the rain was thin and slanted, the plum rain in the south of the Yangtze River was like an ink painting that could not see the real thing, and it was very boring for a long time.

Who knows that since April, the sky has begun to heat up, the sun is big every day, a change from the rainy day of last month, has been sunny for a month, the paddy fields began to dry up, the family began to carry water to irrigate the fields, barely harvested the wheat, the reduction of yield is inevitable, the estimated four stones only received two and a half stones, still sent a stone to the old man, the rest of all stayed, Shen also bought a lot of rice to store.

The watermelons in the yard have not been affected much, it is good to be close, and all the washing water, bath water, and vegetable washing water are used to water the ground, and there is no waste at all. The water level of the well has decreased, but it has not dried up. To Ziqing's surprise, she found that last year's orange seeds had grown seedlings, and one palm was taller, which strengthened Ziqing's determination to buy a mountain, and Zeng Ruixiang also agreed. Ziqing set up a separate place to make a nursery and began to raise seedlings, which had already allowed her third uncle to take time to dig adobe and buy large stones.

On this day, Shen was going to the city, saying that he was going to visit Zhou, and by the way, he sent two baskets of eggs to Zhou's shopkeeper.

From Zhou's shopkeeper, Shen bought some dried fruit snacks, and the two inquired and came to a small courtyard rented by Zeng Ruiqing, where three families lived, and the conditions were not very good, but seeing Shen, Zhou was still very happy, saying that the child's father happened to find a good man who returned to his hometown from the capital to care for the elderly, and prescribed a prescription for her, saying that she could take care of herself and give birth to children, and now, she has taken more than a dozen medicines.

When Shen Shi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Amitofu, thank you Bodhisattva, if this is the case, it is also your bitterness that has come, and you have relaxed your heart." Zhou also shed tears as he spoke. The two of them had the same goal this time, so the more they talked, the more sticky they became, the hotter they became, and the two talked about the unpleasant scene on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Brother and sister, I wasn't targeting you at the time, as soon as I heard what the old man said, I didn't know how to get out of my mind, so I said those nonsense words. Later, I thought about it, it can't be your idea, how can a mother be willing to give away her child, not to mention that Zifu is so good. is like Yan Renda, who gave birth to a bunch of children and couldn't afford to raise them, so he would worry about other people's things. ”

"But no, I think that my sister-in-law is so young, how can there be a disease that can't be cured? Why is it not as good as the biological one? In the past, there were no conditions, but this time I took the opportunity to raise a child, why can't I raise a child, and I haven't given birth before? ”

I didn't see Ziping for a long time, Shen asked, Zhou said that there was a young couple next door, the man often worked outside, and the woman did embroidery at home, "I think that the child is not young, they are all twelve, and if there is a suitable one to say kiss, let her learn some needlework, where did she have this idle work at home before." No, I haven't come home yet. Or, Ziqing, you go and shout, it's next door. ”

Ziqing agreed, knocked on the door and called Ziping out, who knew that when she turned around, she met a big man staring at Ziping to say hello, it turned out that the male owner of the house was back, Ziping asked with a bright face: "Brother Hu came back early today, and Sister-in-law Hu hasn't started cooking yet." ”

"Well, why did you come home so early today, who is this little sister?"

"My cousin, my aunt came from the countryside to see my mother, and my mother told me to go home early." The familiar expressions of the two startled Ziqing.

Ziqing saw that his cousin's eyes were wrong, and he couldn't say it clearly, he felt a little frivolous and a little unscrupulous, he was not a decent and good person at first glance, Ziqing didn't like this kind of person at a glance, it was strange that Ziping was so big, and he didn't have any eyesight, and his vigilance was so low.

Ziqing looked at Ping for a while, although she was not a big beauty, after all, she was well developed, and the girl's characteristics were already a little prominent. Ziqing has a bad premonition, men like the new and hate the old, but don't be coaxed. But this is something that can never be said.

"Sister, how old is the owner of this house? Are you familiar with them? ”

"Familiar, they are very enthusiastic, as soon as our family moved here, the sister-in-law of the Hu family came over to help a lot, and also talked to my mother. Later, my mother saw that she was doing embroidery at home alone, and wanted me to follow her to learn. I don't know how old they are, but they only have one girl, who is only three years old. ”

Ziqing thought that she was only in her twenties, so she continued: "Sister, if you have time, you should accompany your aunt more, after all, your aunt can't walk now, it's very inconvenient, besides, you can do needlework at home if you want to." ”

"What's the meaning of doing it at home, my mother won't teach me, the sister-in-law of the Hu family is not only enthusiastic, her embroidery work is good, and the eldest brother of the Hu family is never annoying, and said that I accompany his wife, he can't ask for it, so that his wife will not be bored. The eldest brother of the Hu family really loves his mother. ”

Ziqing was even more uneasy when she heard this, and persuaded: "But the eldest lady is also very bored at home, and the eldest lady can't move yet, it's not convenient to drink some water, she needs you more." ”

When she got home, Ziqing could only say that, looking at Ziping's expression, she definitely didn't listen to it. Saying goodbye to the Zhou family and going home, Ziqing was a little sullen, this ancient person was very particular about reputation, if something bad happened to her cousin, Ziqing would also be implicated. After thinking about it again and again, when she found no one, Ziqing told her mother about her worries.

Shen was taken aback when he heard this, "Daughter, you are still young and don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense when you say this outside, do you know?" After asking the details of the time again, Ziqing carefully answered them one by one, and after that, the Shen family never mentioned this matter again, and Ziqing didn't know how to deal with it. Then, there was really a happy event on the old side.
