Chapter 74: It's We Sorry for Her
No one answered the door.
Li Dachang said in his heart: Is it that some relative left something at home?
He opened the door and saw a figure flash through the door.
Li Dachang was about to chase after him, but suddenly found that there were two bowls of hot Yangchun noodles in the basket outside the door.
Li Daxing asked, "Brother, who?" ”
"I don't know. It's for us to eat. He took the basket home, and before he could get close, Li Daxing was hooked by the smell of noodles.
Li Daxing was surprised: "There are still people who bring us food in the middle of the night, brother, could it be that there is a girl in the village who has taken a fancy to you, right?" ”
Li Dachang said: "How is it possible! ”
He is in his twenties, and if there was a girl in the village who took a fancy to him, he would have married a long time ago.
Li Daxing said: "Then what's wrong? Can this food be conjured up for you by the snail fairy? ”
Li Dachang: "Don't be poor, aren't you hungry, hurry up and eat." ”
"Okay!"
Li Daxing took out two pairs of chopsticks from the kitchen, picked up a bowl of noodles and ate them. He took two bites and suddenly noticed that there was something added to the bottom of the noodles.
Li Daxing flipped it out and looked at it, "Brother! Egg! ”
This bowl turned out to be Yangchun noodles with fried eggs.
There are only a few households in the village that raise chickens, and eggs are so rare that they can't eat them twice a month.
Li Dachang was stunned, and hurriedly turned over his bowl of noodles to see that there were also eggs.
Li Daxing: "I didn't expect there to be such a kind person in the village, who must have known that something had happened to our family and sent us warmth." ”
He happily ate the bowl of noodles, and even the bottom of the bowl had to be licked again.
Li Daxing: "The noodles with eggs are more fragrant." ”
After eating a bowl of noodles, my stomach is also warm.
Li Daxing seemed to have forgotten the pain in his heart, and his expression finally improved.
But Li Dachang didn't speak since just now, he stared quietly at the basket in his hand, his eyes drooping.
The next day.
Chen Ci had just returned from hoeing grass in the mountains when he bumped into Li Dachang at the door of his house.
He held a bamboo basket in his hand, and stood by the gate of the courtyard, and did not go in.
Chen Xi frowned, as usual, Cheng Niang was at home at this time, what could he not do in to deal with it?
Li Dachang walked up to him, raised the basket and said, "This is your thing, right?" ”
Chen Ci nodded, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Li Dachang was silent: "Thank you Cheng Niang for me, and besides, we couldn't stand her before." ”
Most of the people's baskets in the village are round, and only Chen Xi's bamboo basket is a style he weaves himself, which is square.
Last night, he recognized that it was something from the Chen family. He just didn't expect that if something happened to the family, the only person who would send them comfort would be her.
He didn't have the face to see Cheng Niang again, so he could only stay at the door of Chen's house and wait for Chen Ci to come back.
Li Dachang turned to leave, Chen Ci looked at the basket in his hand and smiled, pushed the door and walked into the courtyard.
Su Cheng had just finished feeding the chicks and came out of the fence wall.
Catching a glimpse of the bamboo basket in Chen Xi's hand, Su Cheng's eyes changed......
Ah, this ......
Where did Chen Xi get this basket? Did he also know about sending food to the Li family?
Su Cheng swallowed his saliva, he was afraid that he would have to give a lecture.
Chen Ci walked in front of her, the basket was placed on the shelf, and Su Cheng's body trembled.
He had to look down every time he approached her, and the man with broad shoulders lowered his head and said, "If you want to help people without fame and fortune in the future, remember to be a little hidden." Take a basket that is unique to our family and give something to someone, do you want to be remembered or not? ”
Su Cheng swallowed, "I thought this basket was the same for the whole village." ”
Who knew that the design of the Chen family turned out to be unique!
Chen Ci's face was gloomy, "There is more." ”
Su Cheng immediately straightened his back, and it was estimated that he would be scolded at this time.
Chen Xi said: "Remember to call me when you go out in the middle of the night, you are a little woman walking on the dark village road, and you are not afraid of being taken captive." Don't know about bandits in the mountains? ”
How long has it been since the traffickers' incident, did she eat bear bile, and dared to walk at night so soon.
Su Cheng's chick nodded in a rice-pecking style.
"Yes, yes. Not in the future. ”
Catching a glimpse of a straw hanging from the top of her head, it was estimated that it was stained when she was tidying up the chicken coop just now, Chen Ci took it down and said, "Frizzy." ”
Su Cheng's eyes lit up, huh? "Aren't you reprimanding me?"
Chen Xi: "You still expect me to scold you?" ”
Su Cheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't look forward to it, don't look forward to it!" ”
She was just surprised that Chen Xi didn't scold her for being a loser like those croppers because she gave food to others.
She smiled, Chen Ci is still very good!
Don't look at him saying that just looking at the person in front of him can't save the world, and when he went to help, he didn't stop it.
In a few days it will be the day of the village to pay taxes, and the people in the village will be especially busy during this time.
Su Cheng sometimes couldn't see Fang He twice a day.
One day, when Su Cheng was about to go home after washing his clothes, he saw everyone gathered in front of the Wang family, muttering that he didn't know what he was looking at, even Fang He was there.
Su Cheng leaned over curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Fang He said: "Aunt Wang wants to use the money to redeem the second son, but the younger son refuses, and is making trouble." ”
"Huh?" Su Cheng was surprised: "Aren't you a brother?" Why not? ”
Fang He put it in Su Cheng's ear and said, "The money is not enough." ”
Everyone has been very busy recently, but there are so many people watching when the Wang family makes trouble, it seems that people in any dynasty like to gossip!
Su Cheng stood on tiptoe, looked over the shoulders of the person in front of him, and saw Wang Zhong holding Aunt Wang's thighs in vain, "Mother, you can't go!" I really can't go! ”
Aunt Wang's sideburns were messy, and she was holding the silver in her hand, "That's my son!" Can I not save it! ”
Wang Zhong shouted: "I am also your son, you can't just look at that son and leave me alone, right?" ”
At this time, Fang He leaned into Su Cheng's ear and said, "If the Wang family has enough money, if they want to redeem a son, they will redeem it, and they will definitely not make such a big fuss." However, this year, the tax revenue was increased, and the Wang family had a large population, and it was barely enough to pay enough taxes. Tomorrow is the day to pay taxes, but Aunt Wang wants to take the money she has made up to the town to redeem Wang Wu. Wang Zhong absolutely refused. ”
At that end, Wang Zhong was still kneeling on the ground and crying: "The family's money is almost insufficient, A-Niang, you know." If you use this money to redeem your second brother, what will happen to the taxes that you can't pay in the future? The people of the government will definitely catch someone from our family to fill the strong man, and when the time comes, A-Niang is counting on the second brother to support the elderly, you are going to send me, a cripple, to the front line! ”
When I was a child, my mother was biased, but in this kind of life-and-death matter, does my mother want to use him as a stepping stone for the second brother?
Wang Zhong shouted: "The second brother will not die in prison, but if I am captured and sent to the front line, I will definitely die!" ”
