Bei Ye refused, "Thank you Uncle Chen for your kindness, but we have to go to the village chief's house for dinner later, just find medicine and wine at their house and wipe it, and rush back to the town after eating, so it's inconvenient to delay." ”

-

When he arrived at Peach Blossom Village, Chen Lin did not rush to separate from Beiye and Gu Rao, but came to the village chief's house with them and informed Gu Rao of his foot.

When Zhen Youqian heard this, he immediately paid attention to it.

"When you walk on rainy days in the future, you still have to be careful, it's best not to wear cloth shoes, wear straw sandals, sit down quickly, I'll go get medicine and wine!"

"Rub it well with medicinal wine, otherwise it will definitely swell up at night!"

"Don't be wild, your daughter-in-law has a broken foot, it's inconvenient to walk, don't go back tonight, just rest in my house, and I'll ask Yu to make room for you."

Gu Rao hurriedly waved her hand.

"It's just a small injury, it doesn't hurt anymore, I can walk on my own, and besides, we don't plan to walk on our own, just rent an ox cart and go back later."

Beiye also said, "Living outside is not as comfortable as at home, we are used to sleeping in our own home, and we are not used to sleeping outside, so the village chief will not keep us." ”

Zhen had no choice but to give up.

"Then let's eat first, the meal will be ready for a long time, you should finish eating early or go back early, if you delay it any longer, it will be dark, and it will be difficult to go back with an ox cart."

In order to thank Gu Rao and Bie Ye for leaving their nephews to work in the restaurant, Yu Xiang worked this meal and made six dishes and one soup, namely braised eggplant, stir-fried pork, shredded potato meat, steamed pork, steamed fish, dried green beans and sauerkraut soup.

"You eat more, I'll do it when it's not enough."

"I'll pour you wine."

Gu Rao hurriedly said, "Aunt Yu, you can also sit down and eat, what we want to eat is sandwiched by ourselves, and if we want to drink, we can pour it ourselves." ”

Yu Xiang wiped her hands on her apron.

"Then you eat first, I'll go to the back to eat, what do you need to call me, I can hear your voice in the back."

After saying that, he left.

Gu Rao, "......"

It's good, she's the only woman at a big table!

How did she forget about it?

In this era, the status of women is very low, as long as there are guests in the house, women are not allowed to eat at the table, saying what are the rules maintained by the ancestors.

The person who sets this rule must be a selfish man!

I knew I wouldn't stay for dinner.

There was only one woman in the whole table, and she really didn't want to have a next time in such an embarrassing situation!

Fortunately, Yu Xiang's cooking skills are not bad, Gu Rao forgot about the embarrassment while eating, plus Beiye has never ignored her, and has been serving her vegetables, she is very happy to eat.

The meal was very filling.

-

After dinner, it was not early, and Zhen Youqian took the initiative to help them find the person running the ox cart in the village, wanting that person to send Beiye and Gu Rao back to the town.

When the ox cart master heard this, he refused without thinking about it.

"It's dark now, and it's still raining outside, I may have just arrived in town and it's getting dark, do I want to come back in the dark?"

"It's too dangerous."

"The road is too slippery on rainy days, I usually only run a few times in the morning, and I don't run in the afternoon, so you let them find someone else."

Zhen Youqian asked his son to go to a neighboring village to ask, and the answers he got were all refusals.

Gu Rao was a little anxious.

"So what now?"

"You can't help but go back, right?"

She was uncomfortable enough to eat a meal outside, and if she had to rest at someone else's house for a day, it would be uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Beiye held one of Gu Rao's hands, and the palm under the sleeve wrapped it in his palm.

"Don't worry."

"I'll drive an ox cart, find someone to borrow an ox cart, we'll drive it back ourselves, and someone will send it back tomorrow."

Gu Rao hesitated.

"You really will?"

It won't be to make her unhappy that she is so reluctant to force herself, right?

Besino's nodded.

"You don't believe me?"

Gu Rao let go of the doubts in her heart.

"I believe in you."

"Then let's go borrow an ox cart now."

Zhen Youqian stopped, "Why don't you stay and rest, the reason why those ox cart masters are reluctant to run the car too late is that they are afraid that the road will be slippery in the dark and they can't see the road, in case something really happens, they can't find anyone to help on the road at night." ”

"We have enough empty houses to let you sleep with other people."

"If you don't want to sleep in our house, we can also arrange for you to go to other villagers' homes."

Beiye explained, "Village Chief, you misunderstood, it's not that you don't want to stay in your house, but the lady is not feeling well today, and after we return to the town, we have to go to see the doctor, so we can't delay." ”

Zhen Youqian felt a little guilty when he heard this.

"Shouldn't I have left you to eat? If you go back when you're done, you should still have time, and now you can only find someone to borrow an ox cart. ”

"You wait here, the ox cart master takes the cattle very seriously, you may not be able to receive them if you borrow them, and he still has to give me this bit of face as the village head."

Besino's nodded.

"Thank you, village chief."

Zhen Youqian waved his hand.

"You're polite to me, I was looking for trouble for you, I originally thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, and I wanted to get together with you, but I didn't choose the right day."

After speaking, he put on his coat, put on a hat, and walked to the house of the oxcart master.

Soon.

Zhen Youqian came back with the ox cart.

There was a smile on his face.

"The ox cart has been borrowed from you, you can drive the ox cart back by yourself, you don't have to send it back tomorrow, he promised to go to the town early tomorrow, and take people back to the village by the way."

Bei Ye didn't ask much, took out two hundred wen from the money bag, and put it on the table while Zhen Youqian was not paying attention.

Then he drove away with his wife.

Zhen Youqian sent people to the entrance of the village, and when he returned home, he found the money on the table, and Yu had already seen it, and only told him about it after he came back.

"This money was given by Besano, right?"

Zhen Youqian nodded.

"It must be him, otherwise who will give the money?"

"Hey."

"This kid is still out of sight with us."

Yu likes money very much, as the wife of the village chief, she has received bribes from many people before, and this is the only time she has received money but is not happy.

"If he really treats us as his own, he won't even ask us for a favor, looking at the current situation, I'm afraid he wants to dissociate himself from us."

Pouted.

"Once a person is developed, he will definitely dislike his poor relatives, not to mention, we are not even poor relatives, and we have no blood relationship with him, so I am afraid that we will not be able to beat him in the future!"

It's a pity.

Originally, it was a happy thing that there was a person in the village who was promising, but although this person went out of the village, because he was not related to the people in the village, he did not seem to have a close connection with the village, which made people unhappy.

Zhen Youqian glared at her.

"What are you thinking?"

"Beiye is not such a person, if he really treats us as outsiders, he will not give such a good job to your nephew."

"Your nephew is now working in a restaurant, and his monthly salary is real, and he has food and accommodation, and the food is very good, and I see that your nephew has gained weight."

"Sometimes he sells leftover meals, and Beno also allows him to pack them and take them back to his family to eat, and the food of his family has occasionally improved."

"Isn't it good for him?"
