Being said by the Wu family, coupled with such a wall at the door, Xu Sanlang was a little embarrassed, it was not to go, it was not to go, Cheng Chen was careful, and he saw his father's attitude and Xu Sanlang's discomfort in his eyes, he actually still felt that this Xu Sanlang was very good, and now that things are like this, he has the heart to relieve him and said, "There are a lot of things at home during this time, and our family has not yet fattened the grain, since my brother-in-law is here, just take a hand." ”

Xu Sanlang nodded hurriedly, and then followed Cheng Chen out of the door and went to the ground, Cheng Xi also stood up, and said to Cheng Dagui on the bed, "Dad, you have a good rest, and I will also go to help." ”

Cheng Dagui said with a dark face, "You can't lift your hands and shoulders, what can you help, besides, you are not the most smelly of dung, what kind of fun are you going to make." ”

Cheng Xi did have the intention of helping, but when his father reminded him of this, he remembered that the fat in this era is probably dung, so Cheng Xi dispelled the idea of helping, and said with a smile, "Then I won't go, accompany my father at home." ”

Hearing that his daughter was going to accompany him at home, Cheng Dagui's dark face finally got better.

Cheng Xi also took advantage of this opportunity to talk to Cheng Dagui in the house and inquire about some of the things she wanted to know.

Cheng Xi always thought that his own mother had died a long time ago, and then Cheng Dagui found a stepmother for himself, but he heard his father tell him with red eyes that his mother actually eloped with a strange man, and there was no news after that.

Originally, I wanted to gossip carefully and ask why this mother eloped with a strange man, but looking at her father's heartbroken expression in advance, she couldn't bear to continue to reveal people's scars, so she quickly changed the topic.

Speaking of which, Cheng Dagui unconsciously went around the topic of picking her up back to Cheng's house, Cheng Xi hurriedly moved out of Huang Langzhong's instructions before leaving, let Cheng Dagui lie down and rest well, and worry less, she found an excuse to help Aunt Wu cook and went out.

The rest of the family, including his younger brother Cheng Qiang, followed to the ground, only there was a knocking sound in the kitchen, Cheng Xi went over and saw that Wu was chopping pigweed in the corner of the kitchen, so he asked, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

Wu Shi looked up at Cheng Xi at the door, but he was not polite, his hand movements did not stop, he pointed to the bamboo basket on the side with his chin, and said, "Shave that potato skin, stew with this pheasant for a while." ”

It was still difficult for Cheng Xi to shave a potato skin, Cheng Xi nodded in response, moved the small bench in front of the stove in the past, and skillfully took the planer and planed it carefully.

Wu didn't speak again, there was only the sound of each person doing their work in the kitchen, Cheng Xi thought in his heart that he still wanted to have a good relationship with this stepmother, but he couldn't find any topic and didn't know what to say.

I didn't want Cheng Xi to find a topic yet, but Wu opened his mouth first, "Your father said that you fell in love with that Xu Sanlang, but is it true?" ”

This question made Cheng Xi a little embarrassed, saying that he didn't like it, would the queen mother support her father's approach and take her back to Cheng's house. Say you like it? She couldn't even say it, she couldn't understand this day, and she was facing those messy situations all day long, and she didn't have time to look at it carefully. The reason why I still want to follow Xu Saburo for the time being is also out of selfishness, Xu Saburo is the Xu family, but in fact, he is alone, he only needs to face Xu Saburo alone, at least he will live more comfortably.

Although the relatives of the Cheng family are good to her, she is not the original Cheng Xi at all, and she can't be blamed for her coldness, she has never regarded the Cheng family, who has only met a few times, as her dear relatives, and when she considers anything, she puts the life she needs to face in the future first.

Wu took Cheng Xi's silence as a tacit acquiescence, she didn't continue to ask, and only continued to take care of herself, "This Xu Sanlang is actually a good person, honest and diligent, don't believe those messy rumors, live a good life with him." ”

"It's not that I'm ruthless and won't let you go back to the Cheng family, the days you come back may not be easy, you have married into the Xu family, and if you come back to the Cheng family, you have to be poked to death in the backbone, where can you stand it at a young age, and if you want to find a good family again, it is impossible."

"If there's anything difficult, just come back and say, and I won't stop anyone who can help."

Listening to what Wu said a lot, Cheng Xi felt that this stepmother was actually not bad, not a vicious stepmother, although she may also have her own selfishness, but she also sincerely thinks about her.

So Cheng Xi responded in a kind tone, "I listen to Aunt Wu." ”

Listening to Cheng Xi's words, Wu, who was originally working with his head down, raised his head and glanced at Cheng Xi with strange eyes, but Cheng Xi was a little uncomfortable, he responded so obediently, he shouldn't have said the wrong thing, right?

The Wu family is quite reluctant, Xu Sanlang brought a pheasant and hare, each burned one, the lunch is really rich, it can be said that Cheng Xi has eaten the most decent meal since he came here, although he didn't make it himself, but for Cheng Xi, who has basically not eaten enough in the past few days, it is already very satisfying.

Regarding the matter of taking Cheng Xi back to Cheng's house, everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it again, although Cheng Dagui saw that Xu Sanlang still had a black face and no good face, fortunately, he didn't make any more trouble, and he finally finished the day peacefully.

Because of helping the Cheng family work, the two of them went back to the thatched house after dinner, and Cheng Xi was worried about whether the old lady of the Xu family would take someone to smash the door and empty the things in the house, and went back all the way, and found that the door was still locked, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Xi stood behind Xu Sanlang and waited for Xu Sanlang to open the door, and couldn't help but sigh in his mouth, "I didn't expect your grandmother to come and smash the door and pick the lock, it's really a little surprising to me." ”

Xu Sanlang paused in unlocking the lock, and said, "The fourth uncle is back." ”

Cheng Xi said, "Your fourth uncle? The Xu family finally has someone who is a little reasonable. ”

Xu Saburo paused again when he opened the door, but he didn't speak.

The things at home were still there, Cheng Xi moved the pot out, asked Xu Sanlang to help light the fire, and rested after boiling some hot water to wash it.

With the quilt sent by the Cheng family's brother, he can finally sleep a little more comfortably, the bed is not big, but Cheng Xi is thin and small, lying against the wall, Xu Saburo is lying sideways on the side of the bed, but he can't squeeze her.

Knowing that Xu Sanlang was a stuffy gourd and didn't like to talk, the two of them basically remained silent, but thinking about the future, Cheng Xi still said, "Let's just go to the county town to see if we can find a job with food and housing, and then stay in the city, if you stay at home, your grandmother will come to find fault every day, and this day is really impossible." ”

didn't wait for Xu Sanlang to answer, Cheng Xi thought that Xu Sanlang was tired and fell asleep during the day, and was about to close his eyes to sleep, and discuss it with him tomorrow, not wanting Xu Sanlang's voice to sound in the dark, "You go back to Cheng's house, grandma will find a way." ”

Cheng Xi pursed his mouth, he still wanted to drive her away, he had thought about following him temporarily, and he didn't dislike him for being a stuffy gourd, but he drove himself first, Cheng Xi said with some resentment, "Do you think I'm a drag?" ”

Xu Saburo hurriedly responded, "No, my life is hard, you follow me ......"

Cheng Xi interrupted Xu Sanlang's words with disdain, "You actually believe it yourself?" What a mess of life, a broken god stick talking nonsense, no wonder he will be blind, it is estimated that he is talking nonsense and doing too much. ”

Xu Saburo was silent for a while before he spoke, "My father and mother died because of me, and my uncle ...... them."

Cheng Xi said, "It's all an accident, what does it have to do with you, you don't dislike me for dragging me down, I'm not afraid of what you're afraid of, watch it carefully, I will live well." ”

Xu Saburo was silent for a while, and said in a slightly moving voice, "Thank you." ”

It was rare to hear Xu Sanlang talking to her like this, Cheng Xi was a little unaccustomed to it, laughed, and said, "Be polite to me, let's be in the same boat now, let's rely on each other for the time being, and when the days are better, I'll leave." ”

Xu Sanlang listened to Cheng Xi's words, and frowned in the dark, "Aren't you going to follow me?" ”

Cheng Xi responded, "It's with you, but I can't always pester you, when I can be independent, I will leave, you don't have to take me with me, and when the time comes, marry the girl you want to marry and live a good life, but I will trouble you first during this time." ”

Cheng Xi told the truth, she did think so, at present, from her own point of view, if she really left here alone, and she didn't know anything about this world, I was afraid that she really couldn't live, and with Xu Sanlang, others were not bad, the two of them had a good response, and it would not be too late to separate when they could settle down in this world.

As everyone knows, she thinks like this, which is incompatible with this world, such as Xu Sanlang, she will not think so, she listened to Cheng Xi's words, and said, "Since you follow me, you are my daughter-in-law." ”

Originally, Xu Sanlang never thought of treating Cheng Xi as his daughter-in-law, his own life was passable, but Cheng Xi seemed to be determined to follow him, and Cheng Xi was the first to tell him that he didn't believe that he would die to his relatives, and his heart was also a little touched, if he had such a daughter-in-law, it would be considered his blessing, but as soon as he thought about it like this, this person suddenly said that he would leave in the future, he couldn't figure it out, and his heart was even more uncomfortable.

Cheng Xi didn't expect Xu Saburo to say this, after all, in the past few days, in addition to living under the same roof, the two of them have some sympathy for each other, but the two get along a little better than strangers, this suddenly became a husband and wife, how can she be a modern person can't accept it, he doesn't think Xu Saburo likes himself to say this, then it may be because of this feudal social problem.

After analyzing it in his heart, Cheng Xi said, "You see that we are not familiar with each other, and we have no feelings, and I am still young, so it is too child's play to be a husband and wife by mistake, let's temporarily partner up to solve the current predicament, and when we get through the predicament, let's separate and live our own lives, isn't it great?" ”

Xu Sanlang frowned, "Since you want to follow me, you are my daughter-in-law, if you don't want to follow me, go back to Cheng's house early, and then I will clarify that I have nothing with you, and try not to ruin your reputation." ”
