Chapter 185: Finding a husband in the county town
When he came, seeing the scene in front of him, he knew that he was back in the small village at the foot of Qixia Mountain.
There are several thatched huts in front of him, Xiao Wang Jue picked up a small mound of soil under the corner of the thatched hut, and when he saw a small whirlpool, he gently pulled it open with his hand, and blew the mud away with his mouth, and there would be a small insect below......
Ah Xiu was cooking on the fire in the house, and Xiao Wang Jue was having a lot of fun, although he made his body full of mud, he didn't care at all.
Suddenly, there was a ping-pong sound, and something seemed to have fallen in the house, so he hurriedly ran into the house, it turned out that the legs of the wooden table were rotten due to age, and there may have been too many things on the table, which were crushed, and various objects were scattered all over the ground, and Ah Xiu was cleaning up.
Ah Xiu cried while cleaning up, thinking that Tingsheng was not there, and these objects would not be repaired by themselves, without Tingsheng, where would this home still be like a home?
If it weren't for the fact that the old village chief and a few friends of Tingsheng often helped her, she wouldn't know how to get by.
In fact, Ah Xiu also felt strange, the old village chief and those people had never helped their mother and son before, and suddenly began to care about them one day, and from time to time they also sent food and silver taels, although they didn't send much, but it was enough for the mother and son to live.
Ah Xiu sometimes wonders if something happened to Tingsheng outside, so they took care of the orphans and widows with kindness......
Every time she thinks of this possibility, Ah Xiu washes her face with tears.
She also asked the old village chief a few people, and they all said that they had never seen Tingsheng......
Hearing the sound in the house, Xiao Wang Jue also ran in and asked with concern, "Mother, what's wrong?" Why are you crying?"
Ah Xiu wiped the tears from her face and smiled, "My mother is fine, but my mother's eyes are dusty."
"My mother lied, Jue'er had dust in her eyes, just rub it, where is crying like my mother, my mother's ...... Do you miss Daddy? Jue'er misses Daddy so much!"
Xiao Wang Jue looked aggrieved, he hadn't seen Daddy for a long time.
Ah Xiu didn't speak, silently cleaned up the objects on the ground, and after a while, Ah Xiu suddenly asked:
"Jue'er, shall we go to your father?"
When Xiao Wang Jue heard this, he immediately became happy, "Okay, good! Mother, let's go find Daddy!"
Ah Xiu looked at Xiao Wang Jue's face with excitement, and a smile appeared on his face, like
(M.. COM)
What determination was made,
"Then go outside to play, my mother will clean up, and after eating, we will go out to find Daddy!"
"Woo! I'm going to find Daddy! I'm going to have Daddy!"
Xiao Wang Jue jumped happily and continued to play with the dirt mound.
After Ah Xiu watched Xiao Wang Jue go out, he muttered, "Xianggong, it's been almost three years, and you haven't heard from you, the lady misses you so much!"
After eating, he cleaned up, and let Xiao Wang Jue carry a small burden himself, and Ah Xiu also carried a burden, which was a baked cake and a set of clothes, as well as some broken silver taels.
Ah Xiu went out, she didn't dare to tell anyone, she always felt that the old village chief and them, although they were good to their mother and son, but they had a feeling that they couldn't tell, and the old village chief also faintly revealed that if she wanted to remarry......
While the villagers were all working in the fields, the mother and son quietly left the village and headed for the county seat.
……
After leaving the village, the mother and son began a long journey, eating pancakes when they were hungry at first, and then eating fried beans and corn flour when they finished eating pancakes, mixed with a little water.
In the end, the fried beans and corn flour were also eaten and could only start to buy steamed buns with silver taels, and Ah Xiu was reluctant to eat them, only half of them each time, and they were all full for Xiao Wang Jue.
After more than 20 days, the mother and son finally arrived in the county seat.
Ah Xiu's haggard face also showed a smile, and the silver taels in the baggage were only enough to buy steamed buns for a few days. Looking at the crowded street, Ah Xiu grabbed Xiao Wang Jue's hand, for fear that Xiao Wang Jue would be separated.
While the mother and son were walking, Ah Xiu asked others,
"This guy, may I ask how Shen's rice line is going?"
After asking a few people, they all waved their hands, and the last aunt told Ah Xiu
, There are many Shen's rice shops in this county, and I don't know which one Ah Xiu is asking.
According to the guidance of the aunt, Ah Xiu came to a Shen's rice shop, and when the shop guy saw Ah Xiu dressing, he knew that he was from a poor family, and he didn't come to greet Ah Xiu.
Ah Xiu showed a smile and asked, "This little brother, like you, ask personally, your Shen family rice shop, is there a bookkeeper named Wang Tingsheng?"
The shopkeeper didn't want to pay attention to Ah Xiu, but after glancing at Xiao Wang Jue, he shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it!"
He really hadn't heard of it, it was just a branch.
(M.. COM)
There are seven or eight branches in the county, and each of them has a bookkeeper.
Ah Xiu thanked him, returned to the street, led Xiao Wang Jue and continued to walk forward, asking passers-by from time to time......
I asked two Shen's rice shops one after another, but I haven't heard of them.
Ah Xiu has never been far away, and I don't know that these shop guys don't know what the name of the general ledger room is, unless they ask the branch account office and the store manager, but unfortunately Ah Xiu doesn't understand at all.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Ah Xiu bought two steamed buns and came to the bottom of an overpass, where the mother and son snuggled up, ready to sleep here for the night.
Waiting for Xiao Wang Jue's slight snoring, Ah Xiu looked at Xiao Wang Jue in his arms, hugged Xiao Wang Jue, and tears flowed down unconsciously......
I want to tell Ah Xiu that your man thinks you're dead and is rolling sheets with other women!
It's a pity that he is not even a soul, he can only watch, and he can't do anything.
The next day, Xiao Wang woke up, seeing that his mother was still sleeping, his face was full of sweat, Xiao Wang Jue thoughtfully took out a towel, wanted to wipe the sweat for his mother, the little hand suddenly touched his mother's face, Xiao Wang Jue was stunned, and quickly reached out and touched it again, and found that his mother's face was really hot!
Although Xiao Wang Jue was only seven years old, at this time, he also knew that his mother must be sick.
Xiao Wang Jue cried wow, crying and calling his mother, Ah Xiu woke up in a daze, but he was weak, so he could only lift his spirits and comfort Xiao Wang Jue,
"Jue'er, mother...... It's okay...... Don't cry!"
"Woohoo! My mother lied, and my mother was obviously sick!"
Xiao Wang Jue saw his mother's weak appearance, and cried and said.
Seeing that the sweat on his mother's face kept encroaching out, Xiao Wang Jue thought that he was uncomfortable before, and when his face was full of sweat, his mother used a towel dipped in cold water and applied it to his face.
After taking the towel, Xiao Wang Jue stood next to it and looked at it, and saw that there was a small slope just enough to go to the river, and there was a stone step in the river.
Xiao Wang Jue ran down, Ah Xiu immediately guessed what Xiao Wang Jue wanted to do, and hurriedly shouted, "Jue'er, come back, it's dangerous there!"
Xiao Wang Jue didn't listen to her at all, and he couldn't see anyone in the blink of an eye.
Ah Xiu was worried about Xiao Wang Jue, so he used all his strength and slowly climbed to the edge of the bridge, wanting to see Xiao Wang Jue with his own eyes to be relieved.
