Chapter 9: The Black-Hearted Old Lady
Cheng Xi's eyes widened in disbelief, the package was sent by her mother's family in the morning, what does Mrs. Xu mean?
"Get out of the way and stand in the way of the door? Mourning Star. ”
Mrs. Xu's scolding voice shocked Cheng Xi to come back to her senses, and then reached out and unceremoniously snatched the package from Mrs. Xu's hand and hugged it tightly in her arms.
The package in his hand was actually snatched, which frightened Mrs. Xu, and then raised her hand and waved it towards Cheng Xi, scolding and scolding in her mouth, "You are a dead star, you dare to rob me of something, but you are against you, see if I don't smoke you to death." ”
Fortunately, Cheng Xi reacted quickly and quickly jumped behind Xu Sanlang, Xu Sanlang was tall, and Mrs. Xu's slap slapped Xu Sanlang's arm, Xu Sanlang said with a dark face, "Grandma, that package was sent by Cheng Xi's family." ”
Old Mrs. Xu glared at her hanging horns and scolded, "What my mother's family sent can be kept private?" No matter who sent it, it should be handed over to me, at a young age, I learned to hide my secrets, it's really the opposite, you cheap girl, take the package. ”
Cheng Xi hid behind Xu Sanlang and grimaced at Mrs. Xu, and responded, "If you don't give it, you won't give us breakfast, why give it to you." ”
Anyway, he had already offended this little old lady, and Cheng Xi didn't expect to have a good relationship with this scathing little old lady, so he simply broke the jar and broke it, and did it against her, and besides, this food was in the hands of this old lady, where did she still have her own share, and she was still hungry at this time.
"Cheap girl, look at how I clean you up today." Old Lady Xu shouted as she reached out to grab Cheng Xi behind Xu Saburo.
But how could Cheng Xi let Mrs. Xu grasp her, her body dodged flexibly, kept circling around Xu Sanlang, dodged Mrs. Xu's claws, and made a grimace at Mrs. Xu from time to time, Mrs. Xu, who was already a little rickety, was angry and tired, and finally she was tired and didn't want to continue chasing Cheng Xi, so she slapped Xu Sanlang's arm directly, and scolded angrily, "Mourning Star, forget it if you don't help, you dare to cover up with that cheap girl." ”
is also because Mrs. Xu's body is rickety, and she is a cut behind Xu Sanlang, so Mrs. Xu's slap can only be slapped on Xu Sanlang's arm, if she can hit her face, this slap will definitely be on Xu Sanlang's face.
Cheng Xi thought that Xu Sanlang looked so strong, and she was not worried about Mrs. Xu's slap, and when Xu Sanlang faced the Xu family, Cheng Xi almost figured out his temperament, and he was angry at most with a cold face and ignored people, and he would definitely not face the Xu family.
I don't expect Xu Saburo to help me, only Mrs. Xu is alone, Cheng Xi feels that she still can't do anything to her, so the package in his hand will not be given to Mrs. Xu no matter what.
Xu Sanlang was slapped by Mrs. Xu, but she still stood at the door with her lips pursed, as if she had no intention of interfering at all, but the slap that Mrs. Xu raised again did not go down, not that she didn't want to fight, but she found that when she slapped down, Xu Saburo didn't seem to react at all, but her hand hurt a little.
Mrs. Xu finally withdrew her hand, but her mouth was not idle, and she continued to scold, Xu Sanlang didn't hear it, Cheng Xi walked around Xu Sanlang, and deftly avoided Mrs. Xu's hand from time to time when she wanted to take advantage of Cheng Xi's inattention to grab the package, and the scene was so deadlocked.
After all, she is still old, and soon Mrs. Xu will be tired enough, and she will be dizzy around Xu Sanlang, and she will not grab the package, seeing that Xu Saburo does not seem to intend to meddle at all, Mrs. Xu had to give up, and scolded while going out and leaving with a black face, "Mourning star, unfilial things, don't want to eat a mouthful of food from my Xu family in the future." ”
Cheng Xi made a smug face at the back of Mrs. Xu leaving, and then hurriedly entered the house and put the package on the shabby table to open it to see what was delicious inside.
After Xu Sanlang heard Mrs. Xu's words again, he frowned, looked at the back of Mrs. Xu leaving, and thought thoughtfully.
Cheng Xi, who happily opened the package, took a bite of a piece of cake, and then lowered her head in a depressed mood, she was too hungry to be picky about the taste, but the toothache from chewing this bite really made her a little unbearable.
Maybe it will be a little softer when steamed, but what kind of steaming is it, there is no pot, this day is really ......, Cheng Xi took a big bite of the stone cake in his hand like venting, chewing hard, and muttered inarticulately, "This day is really impossible." ”
And Xu Sanlang, who had been standing at the door, finally turned around and entered the door, and said to Cheng Xi in the house, "Send the package over to the milk." ”
Cheng Xi hummed casually, and when she was slow to react, she understood the meaning of Xu Sanlang's words, forgot to swallow the cake in her mouth, and looked at Xu Sanlang with wide eyes with her cheeks.
The delicate little face, the bulging cheeks, and the big watery eyes stared at him, full of surprise and disbelief, as if asking himself "why", Xu Saburo tried to resist the desire to poke the bulging little face with his hand, hurriedly looked away, and unconsciously explained, "If you leave this package, you will have no food to eat in the future." ”
Cheng Xi swallowed the cake in his mouth, and recalled what Mrs. Xu said when she left, don't want to eat a mouthful of the Xu family's rice in the future, that is to say, if the food in this package is not delivered, there will be no food to eat in the future?
But Cheng Xi felt that even if she sent this package over, to the extent that she offended Mrs. Xu today, even if she gave it to her, I was afraid that she would not be given food in the future, right?
But if you don't send it over, I'm afraid that Xu Saburo won't be able to count on the Xu family in the future, and now this broken thatched house with nothing will live in the future?
Sighing helplessly, Cheng Xi finally stuffed the package to Xu Sanlang, "You can send it over." ”
Xu Sanlang took the package, took out another piece of cake from it, and stuffed it to Cheng Xi before going out with the package.
Cheng Xi was left alone, sitting on the edge of the bed, gnawing on the stone cake angrily, and scolding in the face of the broken thatched house, "People are crossing and goldfingers, and they are rich and handsome, what kind of broken crossing is my Nima, I can't eat enough, marry a farmer, except for this broken thatched house, there is nothing." ”
After Cheng Xi frowned and gritted his teeth and swallowed the last bite of the stone cake, Xu Sanlang also came back, but the expression on his face seemed to be colder than usual, and he was afraid that he would be angry if he went over there and didn't get a good deal.
Thinking about the purpose of asking Xu Sanlang to send the package over, Cheng Xi still asked, "How is it?" ”
Xu Sanlang didn't understand what Cheng Xi meant, and looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, so Cheng Xi had to ask, "Did the little old lady say that she would give food or not?" ”
Xu Sanlang replied angrily, "I didn't say it." ”
Cheng Xi frowned and looked at Xu Sanlang who lowered his head, "This little old woman won't ask for something and won't give it to us, right?" It's really lacking in virtue. ”
Xu Saburo took the hoe placed on the wall, and said as he went out, "It's not dinner yet, follow me to call milk in the future, and I'll go to work." ”
Cheng Xi pouted, she didn't want such a grandmother, seeing that Xu Sanlang had gone to the direction of the field, Cheng Xi hurriedly picked up the stone cake on the table that Xu Sanlang stuffed for himself that he didn't eat, and trotted to chase after it.
As for the thatched house, Cheng Xi didn't bother to close the door, anyway, it was not locked, and it was useless to close the door, and besides, there was nothing in the house that was worth stealing now, so let the little old lady turn it over if she liked it.
Catching up with Xu Sanlang, Cheng Xi handed the stone cake to Xu Sanlang, "Give." ”
Xu Saburo glanced at it, then quickened his pace and continued to walk forward, "You eat it yourself." ”
Cheng Xi trotted to catch up and continued to hand it to Xu Sanlang, "I've already eaten one, I'm full." "Xu Saburo has been working for most of the day, and he must be hungrier than himself who has not done anything.
It's just that Xu Sanlang didn't seem to plan to take the stone cake in Cheng Xi's hand, Cheng Xi looked at the cake in his hand, although he didn't eat much, but this cake was put in his mouth when he ate it, Cheng Xi really didn't want to eat it, so he had to walk over quickly, stuffed it into Xu Sanlang's hand, pouted and said, "Anyway, I won't eat it, if you like it, you can eat it, and if you don't like it, throw it away." ”
Xu Sanlang looked up at Cheng Xi, just saw Cheng Xi's disgusted expression, he was slightly stunned, and then took the stone cake and ate his stomach in three or two bites, and at the same time sighed in his heart, this little girl is afraid that she will be spoiled by the Cheng family, and if she doesn't go back to the Cheng family with her brother, she has to follow herself, isn't she asking for hardship.
The two of them passed the small Caobao valley in the fingering of the villagers in the field again, at this time it was already sunset, the sun was slanting westward, this valley was located in the mountain col, the sun was just blocked by the mountain, and the ground was not dry.
Cheng Xi didn't want to continue to hide under the big tree on the side to enjoy the shade, and followed Xu Sanlang down to the ground, ready to help Xu Sanlang pull out the grass in the field, so that Xu Sanlang would hoe more easily.
It's just that after all, I've never done these things, I'm afraid of insects, I'm afraid of dirty, and the leaves of the grain still hurt a lot on my face, Cheng Xi feels that he is really not the material for farm work!
And Xu Sanlang saw Cheng Xi go down to the ground to help, and he was curious to glance at it from time to time, and when he saw Cheng Xi's action of pulling the weeds, his eyes widened, only to see Cheng Xi on his toes, moving carefully step by step, for fear of stepping on the ants, and the action of pulling the weeds was even more speechless, one hand carefully brushed aside the surrounding grain leaves, and with one hand twisted two slender white and tender fingers, he reached over to pull the grass in the field, pulling the grass like this, he Xu Sanlang really saw it for the first time, how many can he pull out this day?
"You'd better go over there and wait." Looking at Cheng Xi's eye-catching movements, Xu Sanlang finally couldn't help but speak.
Cheng Xi didn't intend to retreat like this, shook his head, gritted his teeth, and finally let go of his movements, and gradually began to look like a point.
It's just that it didn't take long for Cheng Xi to give up and sit down on the stone at the edge of the field, not that he was tired after a while, but Cheng Xi didn't expect the grass in the field to grow so strong, and she didn't pull up the grass, but the grass stalk pulled out a big hole in her hand, and it kept bleeding out.
