Rui Xue saluted and thanked her, and pulled Niuniu with an angry face into the yard, the yard was not big, there were some farm tools and sundries piled up under the corner, and the pick-up was very clean, and when she entered the house, it was much darker than the outside, I was afraid that the eaves were too long, covering the sky, Rui Xue was afraid of hitting the tables and chairs and other things, and walked slower, Niuniu couldn't bear to be hungry, so she rushed forward, grabbed two cakes in the old woman's hand, grabbed and chewed with one hand, and didn't forget to hand Rui Xue one with the other hand, Rui Xue saw that the old woman was going to be angry, and quickly pushed Niuniu's hand away, stepped forward and said, " Don't be angry, although my sister is reckless and rude, but her nature is not bad, and she has been taken care of by her aunt a few times before, and I will definitely thank my aunt in the future. ”

The old woman's mouth was already open, and before she could scold, she was blocked back by her so politely, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Look at you, you are also a wanderer, with no food and clothing, what kind of gifts do you give me?" When these words came out, she seemed to feel embarrassed for a pregnant woman, and she couldn't bear it, so she waved her hand and said, "That's it, that's it, she will eat it, and I won't scold it." ”

Rui Xue saw that Niuniu went to the pottery bowl and grabbed a few more, and she was helpless and blushing, so she said, "Auntie, I don't know if you have heard of Yunjia Village?" How far is our village from there? ”

"Yunjia Village?" The old woman thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about the Yunjia Village that collects cow beans?" That's far away, it's seventy or eighty miles, what's the matter, where are you going to join your relatives? ”

Rui Xue shook her head, "Auntie, I am from that Yunjia Village, because of some things, I got lost with my family, and it is very inconvenient for me to travel with a big belly. ”

She said, stretched out her hand from her bosom and took out a silver hairpin carved with plum blossoms, the pattern is exquisite, the hairpin body is slender and shining, which she wore on her head before she was plundered out, and before entering the dense forest yesterday morning, she hid it in her arms.

"This is my hairpin, and my aunt wants someone to bring it to my husband, saying that I am waiting here, and the person who sent the letter and the aunt will be rewarded."

The old woman saw her so embarrassed before, and she was half-convinced when she heard her say that her family was wealthy, but when she saw this silver hairpin, she immediately threw all her previous suspicions out of the clouds, and asked one after another, "If you go to deliver the letter, your husband will thank you... Thank me for ten taels of silver? ”

Rui Xue guessed that she must be in urgent need of ten taels of silver to do something, so she asked in a hurry, so she nodded and said, "Ten taels of silver, I can afford it at home, auntie rest assured." ”

The old woman was immediately overjoyed, and pushed the clay bowl with the bread and a plate of pickles in front of her, "You eat first to cushion your stomach, and I will go find someone." ”

After saying that, she ran out, their family is a foreign surname in the village, and they have no relatives and friends, but if this letter is done, it will also be a small wealth, and whoever you send it is to send it, of course, you have to send it to seek more benefits for your own family.

So, the old woman rushed into Lizheng's house almost without touching the ground.

Mrs. Li Zheng was the same age as her, and she was picking up the dishes and chopsticks and coming out of the house, and when she came to the door again, her face was a little dark, half helpless and half bored, and said, "Aunt Li, our family really has no money to spare, and we can't help much, so don't come back to the crooked entanglement." ”

The old woman did not cry as usual, but smiled all over her face, "Old sister-in-law, I am not here to borrow money, I am here to give money, and it is a lot of money!" ”

Li Zheng Niangzi thought that she was crazy about money, and she was even more impatient, and she wanted to drive her out, but Li Zheng walked out with her hands behind her back, and the old woman immediately stepped forward to salute, and then said the matter, Li Zheng squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "This thing is really a good thing, and the work at home is not busy, so I called the little third son to run, if the woman's family is not as rich as she said, at least the hairpin can be sold for a few taels of silver, not a loss." ”

Lizheng Lady and the woman felt that this was reasonable, so Lizheng Niangzi went to the next yard to call the child, and followed the old woman back to the small courtyard.

Ruixue had already eaten two cakes for a while, and when she had a bottom in her stomach, she stopped, but Niuniu did just like the old woman said, until she ate all the remaining cakes and pickles, and finally stroked her stomach and said, "I'm not full." ”

Rui Xue took her hand, and was about to teach two sentences, not to enter people's houses in the future to grab food, it is too rude to act like this. But before the words could be spoken, the old woman, Lizheng Niangzi, and the little third son came in.

Li Zheng Niangzi carefully looked at Rui Xue's whole body, wishing that she could even count the bones clearly, Rui Xue didn't like her to evaluate things like this, but she still straightened her back, and smiled faintly on her face, seeing that the three of them believed more and more that she was from a rich family.

Li Zheng took the plum hairpin, a touch of greed flashed in her eyes, Rui Xue immediately felt a sudden in her heart, and hurriedly said, "I bother this little brother to go to Yunjia Village to deliver a letter, and thank you for twenty taels of silver afterwards, which is enough for your mother or wife to go to the silver building in the city to get a few good hairpins." ”

Sure enough, when Mrs. Lizheng heard this, she immediately sent the silver hairpin to her son, and instructed, "Go to the north of the village and borrow the foal of the Liu family, and riding is faster than walking." ”

The third son answered, asked again who the letter was sent to, and went out.

Lizheng Niangzi and the old woman don't know whether they are afraid that Rui Xue will run away in private, or they have a stammering mind, and they have been gossiping with Rui Xue, and even have to follow her to a toilet.

Besides, the little third son borrowed a foal, although he was not good at riding, but he finally rushed to Yunjia Village before noon, and a few old men and children in the village were gossiping, sighing from time to time.

Among them, Yun Xiaoliu's father is also there, thinking that the Zhao family has no Zhao Niangzi, I don't know if he will marry a newcomer in the future, when there is a change in the workshop, can his son's errand still be kept, even if it is kept, the newcomer is afraid that he is not as generous and kind as Zhao Niangzi, the daughter-in-law who Ma Shan is going to marry into the family, and the tiled house to be renovated are all to pay back his son's wages, he is even more sad, looking up at the sky from time to time, and silently thinking, God wants to bless Zhao Niangzi to be safe and sound.

Although the rest of the old men have no children to work in the workshop, but because they are not young, the Zhao family is famous for respecting the elderly, every New Year's Day, although there is no deep friendship with them, they will also send some food, they are very affectionate in their hearts, and naturally they do not want to see any tragic things in the Zhao family, they are also full of thoughts.

Everyone was equally sad, and when they saw the little third son riding a foal and stumbling from a distance, they asked, "Then Housheng, where did you come from?" ”

The little third son jumped off the horse, trembling with his legs, and slowed down for a long time before he said, "Uncle, I want to find the Zhao family in our village, where are I going?" ”

"The Zhao family?" When the old men heard these two words, they all straightened their waists and asked in a loud voice, "What are you looking for the Zhao family?" ”

The little third son didn't know why they were like this, so he shrank behind the foal a little timidly, and said, "Well, there is a big-bellied woman who came to our village in the morning and said that she is the housemother of the Zhao family, and asked me to deliver the letter and ask someone to pick it up..."

Before he finished speaking, several old men were already possessed by Sun Wukong in an instant, and they jumped three feet high, how could they still be a little old, they ran to the village after catching him, shouting while running, "Zhao Niangzi, there is news, Zhao Niangzi is not dead!" ”

It was time for the families in the village to make lunch, and the young students were still in the mountains to help find people, and some of the older ones were left, squatting in the yard to do some small work, and when they heard this shout, they immediately threw away the objects in their hands and ran out, and soon, dozens of people gathered behind several old men and little third sons, and ran towards Zhao's house.

In the Zhao family's workshop, no one has the heart to make tofu in the past two days, and sent a letter to the restaurant shopkeepers in the city early, and then everyone who can help will go up the mountain, the wind and rain are guarding the gate, and from time to time go out to look, Yingzi is in the backyard to take care of the two little girls and the old lady who do not eat or drink, Sister-in-law Zhang and Cui Niang's eyes are so swollen that there are only two slits left, and they forcibly took Wang's sister-in-law and a few little daughters-in-law, guarding the account room and the treasury for the Zhao family, taking care of everyone's food, and when they are free, they have to hold them in one place to wipe their tears.

Feng Tiaoyu listened to someone shouting outside the courtyard gate from afar, so he ran out to greet him, and heard Yun Xiaoliu's father, who said a few words out of breath, and didn't care about any rudeness, he directly grabbed the little third son, and asked loudly, "What kind of token?" Take it out! ”

The third son has been being dragged around since he entered the village, although he vaguely knew in his heart that he was bringing good news, and these people would not hurt him, but he was so frightened that he reached out and took out the hairpin, and handed it over tremblingly.

As soon as the wind was picked up, he ran madly to the backyard, the old mother was half-lying on the chair, firmly guarding the second door, even the night rain did not want to go into the room, waiting for her young lady to come back, deep self-blame, plus no food or drink, just a day and two nights of hard work, the eye socket sunken, but the eyes seemed to be burning the last vitality, bright and frightening.

When the wind came into the backyard, he pounced on her, held the hairpin and said, "Let's see if this is our wife's?" Someone outside came to report that Madame was still alive and asked us to pick it up. ”

The old lady immediately straightened up, took the hairpin and looked at it twice, and then cried loudly, "I put it on the young lady with my own hands, and my young lady is still alive!" ”

This sentence was like an oil can thrown into the fire, and it exploded in the backyard of the Zhao family in an instant, and everyone rushed forward to grab the silver hairpin, as if it was Ruixue, Sister-in-law Zhang followed and ran forward two steps, and immediately calmed down again, shouting, "Hurry up and let the front yard set up the car, pick up food and clothes, the girl is afraid that she will be hungry and cold, let's pick it up immediately!" ”

Everyone listened to the instructions, went into the house to pack clothes, went to the stove to get food, and even hugged the bedding and makeup box, the bees crowded to the front yard, the wind in the front yard had already loaded the silver, called Yushun to watch the house, and then pulled the little third son and got into the car, pulled a group of women out of the house and went straight to the outside of the village...
