Chapter 2: Gentle Family
"Nope." Zhou Xiaoyuan wanted to tease her inexplicably, and said with a smile.
Joe was very disappointed again: "...... Oh. ”
"But it's coming soon."
"Well, that's it." Zhou Xiaoyuan put her down.
Qiao looked at the earthen wall house full of age in front of him in a daze.
"What's wrong? Don't even know your home anymore? Zhou Xiao looked at her dumbfounded, and couldn't help but want to poke her cheek.
Jo was like a frightened rabbit again, so frightened that he ran out of the yard.
Zhou Xiaoyuan: "??? ”
"Hey, I saved you, don't you thank you?"
Qiao put his hand on the edge of the wooden door frame again, touched the mud with one hand, restrained the urge to run back to the room to hide, stopped with great perseverance, turned to look at him, and said glutinously, "Thank you...... Thank. ”
Zhou Xiao was very happy, especially seeing her well-behaved but a little pitiful appearance because her clothes were wet, and grinned: "No thanks, next time I have something to find you Brother Zhou, by the way, remember to take medicine and drink ginger ......soup when you go back."
"Eh, Xiaoyi, what are you running, I haven't finished my sentence yet." Zhou Xiaoyuan watched her run away without a shadow.
He stood alone outside the door, touched his head, and said to himself with some suspicion, "Am I so terrible?" ”
So saying, he turned around and went into the house next door, and went out to work with his hoe on his shoulder.
In the yard.
"Xiaoyi, what's going on?!!
As soon as Joe ran into the yard again, he bumped into his sister-in-law, who was carrying a basket and was about to go out to mow the lawn.
"Mom, come out quickly, Xiao Mi fell into the water." The sister-in-law called out anxiously.
The Qiao family is at home at this time.
Brother Joe is working in the fields, and the children are going to school.
"Hurry, go in and change your clothes." Qiao's mother looked distressed, pushed Qiao and went to the left wing again.
The sister-in-law went to the kitchen to cook ginger soup.
Qiao blushed again and was helped by Qiao's mother to change his clothes, wearing a thin autumn coat, which was stuffed into an emerald quilt, it was spring at this time, and it was not cold to sit like this.
Qiao's mother then had the time to ask what was going on.
Joe habitually rubbed his fingers under the quilt again to relieve the tension, and obediently told him about being squeezed into the river.
"I want to see which man is unreliable, didn't you see you by the river, your eyes have grown to the back of your head." Qiao's mother was so angry that she took her hand and cursed those who were unreliable.
When she heard Qiao again, she said that Zhou Xiaoyuan saved her.
Qiao's mother immediately said: "Xiaoyuan is a good one, you used to play with him when you were a child, and when your eldest brother comes back in the evening, let someone go to thank them in person." ”
Joe plucked up the courage again and said, "Mom, yes." ”
Qiao's mother rubbed her head pityingly, her eyes were full of love, "Mi'er, you lie down first, and Mom will go and rub your wet clothes for you." ”
"Money...... Qian ......" Joe pounced again, holding his hand in the pocket of his coat.
Qiao's mother helped, and quickly took out all the money tickets inside.
"Fortunately, it wasn't washed away, just dry it when it's wet."
As Qiao's mother spoke, she hung all the money and tickets on the mahogany box at the end of the bed, and Qiao could see it when she opened her eyes again.
When I turned around, I saw my daughter lying in the bed, still staring with her eyes open.
Qiao's mother said funny: "Don't worry, Mom has laid it out for you, not a single one is broken, don't worry about the little money skewers." ”
Joe blinked again, and the roots of her ears were red, knowing that the little money string was a joking name for her.
jokingly called her a money slave.
Qiao's mother didn't delay much.
Go out and wash her clothes in the yard.
