Chapter 60: The True Purpose
Xu Wenyu, who came one step late, just walked to the door, and when he heard the old lady's words, he was afraid that Cheng Xi would pass on this to Yu Zhaocai, so he hurriedly said, "Mother can't say that, we are from a small family, and our son is eating in the yamen, how can he be compared with Yu Gongzi, that is, let Lan Yatou go to Yu Gongzi's side, that is also Lan Yatou climbing, San Lang, San Lang's daughter-in-law, Lan Yatou is your sister, this is to Yu Gongzi's side, you still have to take care of it, after all, it is a family, and broken bones are still connected to tendons, If the matter with Yu Gongzi can really be done, you and Yu Gongzi are relatives, and they will be closer in the future, isn't this also a beautiful thing? ”
Cheng Xi admires Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle's mouth, obviously he is the same greed, but he can say it so high-soundingly, it seems that he is still thinking about you, his ears are a little softer, his head is a little stupid, I am afraid that he will thank him for his idea.
Cheng Xi didn't get around him, he just smiled lightly and played Tai Chi, "At most, we can only send people to Yu Gongzi, as for the outcome, it is not up to us to control it, it can only depend on Xu Lan's own creation." ”
When Mrs. Xu saw her fourth son coming, she stood up, gave him a place, and said as she went out, "You guys talk first, I'll go and ask someone to bring some hot water, these lazy people, on such a cold day, don't you know how to send some hot water." ”
Xu Wenyu was not polite, sat down in Mrs. Xu's position, looked at Xu Sanlang opposite and said, "San Lang has changed a lot in the past six months, just go out like this, I don't know, I thought it was a son-in-law, it was really our Xu family's son-in-law, that is, he had a temperament, if the Xu family had a chance to be really brilliant and prosperous, if he went out in the future, he would really be a son." ”
Xu Sanlang lowered his head and responded, "I'm just a farmer." ”
For Xu Sanlang's such non-cooperation, Xu Wenyu's face flashed with a trace of embarrassment, and he had to say to Cheng Xi beside Xu Sanlang, "Although I have obtained a position in the yamen, I have no background, my foundation is not stable, or I can't stand on my feet, and it is even more difficult to go further." ”
Cheng Xi thought that he had agreed to send Xu Lan to Yu Zhaocai's house, and Xu Wenyu was still thinking about how to match him?
didn't want Xu Wenyu's next words, but Cheng Xi was a little surprised, and only heard Xu Wenyu ask, "Do you know the people from the Zhao Mansion in Yuecheng?" ”
Cheng Xi didn't reflect much at first, thinking about the person surnamed Zhao he knew, he remembered Zhao Ke, but Cheng Xi was a little puzzled, how did Xu Wenyu know that Zhao Ke was from Yuecheng?
Cheng Xi could only keep this kind of doubt in his heart, pretending not to know anything and asking, "Where is Yuecheng?" I only heard that my two elder brothers are working in Fucheng, but it seems to be called Cloud City, not Moon City. ”
Xu Wenyu looked at Cheng Xi's ignorant expression, not as if he was lying, so he opened his mouth and continued to ask, "Then do you know someone surnamed Zhao?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded, "I know, our restaurant master is surnamed Zhao, and there are a few guys, there is one who is a miscellaneous person, all surnamed Zhao, the surname Zhao in this county is a big surname, we have been in the county for half a year, and we have met some people, of course I know a lot of people with the surname Zhao." ”
Xu Wenyu couldn't see why, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart, could it really be that he heard it wrong, or was it really such a coincidence, those people in the Zhao family's mouth were the same name and surname as Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi? It's a little strange to think about it, it's not surprising that two people have the same name at the same time, it can't be such a coincidence.
Xu Wenyu's gaze kept shuttling on Xu Sanlang Cheng Xide's face for a while, but he still couldn't see anything, and quickly analyzed in his heart, either the two of them hid deeply, or they really didn't know the people of the Zhao family in Yuecheng.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Xu Wenyu's eyes lit up, and there was another possibility, that is, the two of them knew the people of the Zhao family in Yuecheng, and they themselves didn't know it at all.
Immediately, Xu Wenyu slapped in his heart, it must be like this, the two of them have never been far away at all, and even Yuncheng has only heard of it, how can they know about Yuecheng, even if they hear about it, they are afraid that they will not take it to heart, and they will forget it when they turn around.
Xu Wenyu had an idea in his heart, and said, "I met a friend surnamed Zhao when I was rushing to take the exam, and he helped me a lot, I have always wanted to find this person to express my gratitude, he said that his hometown is Yuecheng, and then moved to Anyang County, but I have been looking for a long time, but I haven't found it, and when I returned to the county, you introduced you to friends surnamed Zhao to me, to see if there is this person." ”
Cheng Xi didn't refuse, nodded in response, Xu Wenyu seemed to see hope, the smile on his face seemed to be a lot more sincere, and said with a smile, "Since you're back, you can live in peace, you are all your own family, if you need anything, just ask." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, but said unceremoniously, "It's okay to stay in the house and be idle, and I don't have a snack to pass the time, it would be better if I had a book." ”
Xu Wenyu originally said a few polite words, but he didn't expect Cheng Xi to really speak, and the corners of his eyes twitched when he heard it, so he had to bite the bullet and respond, "I'll ask your aunt to send it to you in a while, your aunt often whispers you in my ear, and I'll ask her to come over to accompany you more often." ”
And Xu Wenqiang on the side said in some surprise, "You can still read?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded and responded, "My brother taught me." ”
Cheng Xi is still quite satisfied with his own literacy, but he didn't expect that Cheng Xi was really literate before, this Cheng Chen went to private school for a few years, and then saw that it was really difficult for him to study because of the poor conditions at home, so he gave up himself, and when he was fine at home, he also taught his younger brothers and sisters to read, and the previous Cheng Xi also recognized the words roughly, and the writing was not very good, but it happened to be about the same level as Cheng Xi.
For these traditional characters, Cheng Xi half-guessed and half-understood a general understanding, but it was a little difficult for her to write, but Cheng Xi did not plan to be illiterate here, and would work hard to read and learn to write in her free time, Xu Sanlang's level was much higher than her, but he could give her some pointers from time to time.
In Xu Wenqiang's eyes, this Cheng Xi is a powerful person, at a young age, he actually obeyed Xu Sanlang's clothes, and he can catch up with so many big people, but he is much stronger than ordinary girls, thinking that maybe it is because he is literate, he is smarter than ordinary girls, so he also has an idea in his heart, and said, "Our Lan girl can't read a few big characters, let alone read, I will let her learn more from you in the future, you are her sister-in-law, you have to teach her well." ”
Cheng Xi nodded undeniably, if Xu Lan was really good, she wouldn't mind teaching him well, as for whether she could continue to listen to him as a father in the future, it was none of her business.
After that, Cheng Xi continued, "Xu Saburo and I don't have any clothes to change into, and we are not used to wearing the old ones, and I don't know what to do. ”
Xu Wenyu tried to resist the urge to stand up and slap the table, and forced out a smile in response, "I'll see if there are new fabrics at home in a while, and I'll make a set for you." ”
Cheng Xi said inch by inch, "There is no one set that is even changed." ”
Xu Wenyu gritted his teeth and smiled, "Then make two sets." ”
Cheng Xi responded with a sweet smile, "Then thank you Fourth Uncle." ”
After that, he pretended to sigh to Xu Sanlang on the side, "Look at it, the fourth uncle still feels sorry for us." ”
Xu Wenyu was worried that Cheng Xi would make more and more demands, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "You guys rest first, and when dinner is ready, I'll come over and call you, let's go first." ”
didn't wait for the two to answer, he couldn't wait to leave quickly, Xu Wenqiang saw that his younger brother was gone, and he also left quickly.
Cheng Xi watched the two disappear into the courtyard on this side with a smile, and then said to Xu Sanlang on the side, "Why did I say that I was suddenly so attentive to us, it turned out that I was on the idea of Brother Zhao, but how did your fourth uncle know that we have a relationship with Brother Zhao, and also know that Brother Zhao's family is from Yuecheng?" ”
Xu Sanlang on the side said, "No, the fourth uncle shouldn't know about Brother Zhao's situation, he should have heard that we have dealings with the people of the Zhao family in Yuecheng, but he doesn't know who it is." ”
Cheng Xi thought about what Xu Wenyu said just now, nodded approvingly, and responded, "It should be like this, it seems that Brother Zhao's family is not simple." ”
Xu Saburo said, "Since we have inquired about their purpose, let's go." ”
Although he has long had no expectations for these relatives, but now that he knows their purpose, Xu Saburo still feels a little uncomfortable in his heart, it is better to leave here earlier, so that he will not be able to see it.
He wanted to see if his thatched hut could be repaired, and if it could be repaired, he would still be comfortable living in his thatched hut.
Cheng Xi didn't think so, with a bad smile on his face, he said, "It's rare that your family is so enthusiastic, how can we just leave, and besides, we haven't put on our new clothes for the New Year, if we don't leave, we will stay for the New Year." ”
Xu Sanlang lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I want to go and see the thatched house, that's my home." ”
Cheng Xi also noticed Xu Sanlang's strange appearance, saw the injury in Xu Sanlang's eyes, moved the stool under his buttocks to Xu Sanlang's side, reached out and grabbed Xu Sanlang's hand, and said distressedly, "When we have money, we will build a yard by ourselves, not thatched, build a green brick house." ”
Xu Sanlang nodded and muttered, "Raise a few more chickens, a big fat pig, and open another piece of land in the yard to grow vegetables." ”
Cheng Xi said coquettishly, "I'm not good at farm work. ”
Xu Saburo responded very simply, "I'll do it." ”
Cheng Xi smiled with satisfaction, "Although I don't know how to farm, I can still cook for you." ”
The two of them leaned together like this, muttering and looking forward to the ideal life in the future, and the haze in Xu Saburo's heart was gradually washed away.
