The village chief cracked a mouthful of big yellow teeth and smashed the cigarette holder, "Wait a minute." ”

"What are you waiting for? Didn't you see that co-wife's hoof laughing at our mountain chrysanthemum? ”

The village chief didn't say anything, turned around and walked into the hall to greet the guests.

Xiao Li had already seen his daughter-in-law and eldest brother come back under the big locust tree outside his yard, and he happily ran to greet him like a child.

"Big brother! Xiao Rong, you guys are finally home! ”

"Sixth brother, I miss you so much." Shui Hibiscus smiled and looked up at the little minister who was a lot taller than herself, and said coquettishly.

Xiao Li directly swept past the eldest brother, stopped running madly in front of Shui Hibiscus, and when she got closer, she picked up the basket she was carrying, "Daughter-in-law, give it to me, you have worked hard!" ”

"Okay, be careful." Shui Hibiscus looked back behind her, and there was no one on the road.

then relieved to hand over the basket to Xiao Li.

"Woo woo ", the little leopards curiously pushed off the leaves of the tree and howled.

"Ahh Xiao Li saw that it was a leopard, and screamed in fright, if it wasn't for Shui Furong catching the basket in time, he would have lost the basket.

Xiao Li's face turned red, "Xiao Rong, why did you bring the little leopard home?" ”

Xiao Cang said: "Don't ask! Go home quickly, find a safe, private place to raise them, and I'll go to the stream later to catch some small fish and come back for them to eat. ”

Xiao Li was stunned by his eldest brother's actions and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Carrying the basket and hurrying home.

Back home, Shui Furong felt so kind after being away from home for a few days.

"Second brother, what about the third brother? Did you go out to work? I didn't see Xiao Tuo and Xiao Ning, Shui Furong asked Xiao Li curiously.

When Xiao Li walked towards the firewood house with the basket on his shoulder, he turned around and said, "They went to the town to catch the market." ”

"Oh, I forgot that today is the day of the market, the village chief's family is said to be married to a daughter, and our family is also going to hang favors?" Shui Hibiscus walked to the well and sat down, washing her hands and chatting at the same time.

Xiao Cang threw down the prey hanging on his body, put it on the ground by the well, and asked puzzledly: "We are not relatives with the village chief's family, so why do we need to send favors." ”

"Oh."

Shui Hibiscus finally understood the sophistication of the people in this village.

Marrying relatives and daughters, only relatives will give gifts and favors, no wonder when I walked past the village chief's house just now, I didn't see many guests in the hall, just a few.

Xiao Li settled the little leopard in a corner of the firewood room, where there was a circle where the rabbits were raised last year, around the corner of the wall, surrounded by a circle of wooden planks, and half of the top was changed. It's okay to block out other people's view.

Besides, there are horses guarding the firewood room at night, and if someone comes, he will call.

Xiao Li came out with the basket, "Big brother, why do you want to take the leopard home?" ”

Xiao Cang sorted out the prey and didn't raise his head, "Fu'er said, there is dust-free at home, and dust-free is a companion." ”

"Oh, but leopards are beasts after all, and they're dangerous."

Water Hibiscus washed her hands and shook off the water stains, "It's okay, I'll put it back in the forest when I grow up." ”

"Daughter-in-law, are you hungry? There's food in the pot, I'll go and heat it for you. ”

"Wow, I'm actually really a little hungry, why don't you move this wild pepper tree to the vegetable patch behind the house and find a place to plant it, and I'll go to the kitchen to heat the rice?" Because I don't know how to plant either. ”

As soon as Shui Hibiscus stood up, she felt a gold star in her eyes, and hurriedly supported her forehead.

Seeing this, Xiao Li hurriedly ran over, helped him, and asked anxiously, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Have you not slept well in the past few days? ”

"Huh? No, maybe it's too hot, so I'll go inside and cool off first. ”
