Xie Xiaolian stayed at Lao Bai's house.

He hadn't experienced family life for a long time.

Early every morning, I heard Mrs. Bai scolding, Eugene Gui jumping up and down, Xie Chuntao working in a hurry, wiping the tools on the ground with white wooden boards, Zhen speaking softly and reasoning, Xiao Fuyuan and Erlang Qing reciting the three-character scripture, and Bai Zhaomei with Dalang San Lang playing boxing......

He couldn't sleep at first, but after getting used to it, he found the family very interesting.

The Bai family is a big stage in the countryside, and he, the audience, is very happy.

Xie Xiaolian was lying in the side room of Lao Bai's house, holding a moon-white handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers in her hand.

The young woman who had bandaged her wounds that day at the mass grave came to mind.

The veil was soaked in blood, and the blood hit the lotus flower.

That day, Xie Chuntao tore off the strip of cloth on his leg, and he quietly took the handkerchief out of a pile of black strips of cloth and hid it in his arms.

At night, when everyone is asleep, I squat on tiptoe in the yard to wash and dry and hide in my arms, and take it out from time to time to take a look.

Xie Xiaolian thought so.

When I met the young woman that day, I had to give it back. After all, a married woman's things are in the hands of an unmarried man, so don't make any rumors and gossip that it won't end well.

He doesn't care, the key is that the reputation of the little woman is damaged.

What was chopped off by a man after a glance at his arm, married when he was picked up by a beggar, and hanged when it was rumored that he had an affair with a foreign man...... He has heard a lot of stories about this cruelty to women, and he doesn't want to hurt people because a handkerchief develops into a storm.

Thinking of the wind and moon, Xie Xiaolian's face turned red.

"Little mercy, I threw away your broken shoes, and I made you a new one." Xie Chuntao walked into the house, carrying a new pair of cloth shoes in his hand.

"Eldest sister, thank you very much." Xie Xiaolian took the handkerchief into his arms in a panic, quite weak-hearted, and wanted Xie Chuntao to ask, what should I say.

"What's polite, I see that your feet are similar to my big and strong, do it according to his yard, you try it when you go back, no, my sister is changing it for you." Xie Chuntao put her shoes on the head of Xie Xiaolian's bed, and she didn't see Xie Xiaolian's handkerchief at all, even if she saw her, she couldn't think of anything.

Xie Xiaopian is a bit much.

Xie Xiaolian was wearing Bai Dazhuang's clothes, and they were new clothes that Bai Dazhuang was usually reluctant to wear during the Chinese New Year, and now he made a new pair of shoes.

He is not short of money, he is not short of fancy clothes.

Over the years, she has come and gone in the wind and rain, has been calculated by the living, and rolled in the pile of the dead, but no one has ever been so good to her.

Xie Chuntao always reminded him of his own sister.

The sister who was lost in the desert is about the same age as Xie Chuntao in front of her.

Thinking of her sister, Xie Xiaolian's heart tightened.

"Big sister." shouted more eagerly at Xie Chuntao's sister, "I don't know how to thank you, take care of my food, my accommodation, and my clothes." ”

"It's not worth anything, it's not difficult for anyone to go out." Xie Chuntao said, "It's normal for people to help when you see it, you call me sister, and I'll make you a pair of shoes." ”

"That's okay, if the eldest sister doesn't dislike it, I will recognize you as my sister in the future. I also have a sister who got lost in the wilderness. Xie Xiaolian told Xie Chuntao and Pan about the sad things.

Xie Chuntao sighed, and felt more and more sympathy for Xie Xiaolian in her heart.

"I have two younger brothers, and one is not missing." Xie Chuntao said with a smile.

The two recognized the sister and brother, and they gossiped.

"By the way, sister, there are no weird people and things in our Nanguan Mountain area." Xie Xiaolian thought of Xiangrui, so she asked Xie Chuntao.

"Weird people and things? An Xiu from Xiashan Village is right, when he took the exam, he said that he was the top of the list, and he didn't know why he was crazy when he released the list. In those years of drought, it didn't rain in this area of Nanguan Mountain, and it rained after pulling the dragon king of the Dragon King Temple out to dry for half a month. A rich man in Nanguan Town abandoned his wife and adopted a Qinglou girl, and was killed by thunder......" Xie Chuntao said while thinking.

Xie Xiaolian: "Sister, that's not the case. ”

What's going on, it's the Dragon King and the thunderbolt.

This has nothing to do with Xiangrui, but he can't directly tell Xie Chuntao about Xiangrui, so he can only continue to guide.

"What's that weirdness?" Xie Chuntao was puzzled.

"For example, whoever was born with abnormal weather, and whose family got something to get better."

Yes, according to such standards, her sister-in-law is a proper one.

According to my father, when my sister-in-law was born, the first dead old plum tree behind the house rented in Huaicheng suddenly burst into flowers, and the heavy snow in the Nanguan Mountain area during the full moon banquet was only sunny in Shenshu Village. There is also a sister-in-law who has come to the house, and the life at home is getting better and better with the naked eye, and the lack of eggs at home has attracted a group of wild geese and ducks is a few days ago......

But can this be said? No!

Xie Chuntao is not stupid, this kind of thing can only be stewed at home, and it is not good for my sister-in-law or the old Bai family if it spreads.

"I haven't heard of it, how can this kind of thing happen, and it's not a god descending to earth." Xie Chuntao groaned for a while, looked at his eyes and asked, "Little mercy, why are you asking this?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that my little master likes to listen to this kind of weird story and collect it everywhere. I thought about it, so I asked. Xie Xiaolian lied casually.

"Then you go to town and buy a notebook. I heard the village chief say that the fox demon book sold in Nanguan Town has become popular recently, and even the storyteller of the teahouse restaurant said according to that book. Xie Chuntao said.

"My little master is illiterate and can't read." Xie Xiaolian blackened Ah Zhen.

In the study room of the mansion in Nanguan Town, Ah Zhen, who was listening to his husband's story, sneezed.

"By the way, sister, you just mentioned Xiashan Village, is there a girl in your village who married into Xiashan Village?" Xie Xiaolian suddenly thought that the young woman who stopped the bleeding and bandaged him at the mass grave that day was married to Xiashan Village.

"There are several, Xiashan Village has better conditions than our Shenshu Village, there are many fertile fields, and many families in the village want the girl to marry there, and the sister of my second daughter-in-law is married there."

Xie Xiaolian has seen Eugene Gui's stirring nature in the past few days, but she feels that the young woman and Eugene Gui are completely different people, and she is embarrassed to ask which other girls there are.

The handkerchief covered his heart and mouth slightly.

"I just asked, last time in the mountains, an eldest sister gave me a bowl of water to drink, saying that it was from the mountain village, I forgot to ask where they lived, and I wanted to say thank you." Xie Xiaolian's explanation was weak.

"A bowl of water isn't worth much." Xie Chuntao said.

"Sister, there's another thing I want to ask you, didn't I buy a homestead? I see a broken yard opposite your house, it's quite big, what about the family? Xie Xiaolian turned the topic to buying a homestead.

"To be honest, I haven't seen that family either, I married and the other side was like that. It is said that the surname is Jiang, the largest landlord in the village in the past, and the descendants moved to Huaicheng with interest, and the land was sold, and he never came back for more than ten years, and the yard was dilapidated like this. If you want to buy it, you have to ask the village chief about it. Xie Chuntao gave Xie Xiaolian the information she knew.

……

Under the root of the Bai family's fence, Mrs. Xia copied her hands and chatted with the Zhen family.

Since Bai Erzhuang and Xia Qinghe retreated, the two families have not been in contact with each other.

When Xiao Fuyuan was born, the two families sent sheep and fish to move around twice, and then the meat sent by the Bai family was returned by the Xia family, and the two families returned to the opposite state.

Mrs. Xia came to Zhen for her daughter Xia Qinghe.
