Xi Dazhuang's face looked better, and he raised his hand and pinched Chixi's round and fair little face, her skin was too white and tender, and it was a red mark when she pinched it gently.

Xi Dazhuang quietly withdrew his hand under Chi Xi's dangerous gaze, and said with a low smile: "Okay, okay, my husband knows." When they leave, they leave, and when the meal is ready, we can eat it ourselves. ”

The Xi family sometimes cooks and eats by themselves, and sometimes they also eat a big pot of rice, mainly depending on whether Chixi and Tian Cuihe are busy or not.

Obviously, today is too busy.

Tian Cuihe took a basin after breakfast and took An An's clothes to the river to wash, and Chixi said that the clothes should be washed by Xi Dazhuang, or she could wash them.

But Tian Cuihe felt that Xi Dazhuang was a big man, too careless, and accidentally damaged his clothes outweighed the loss, and Chixi wanted to stay at home with the children, so it was most appropriate for her to wash it herself.

Moreover, she doesn't think it's a big deal to wash a few clothes for her grandson.

Seeing that the weather was good and that he would not catch a cold, Chixi let her go.

The smell of food came to his nose, and Chi Creek was hungry faster than usual after feeding her children recently. Her cravings were instantly hooked up by the smell of the food, and her stomach growled.

She just wanted to go to the river to see and ask Tian Cuihe to come back for dinner, when a panicked shout sounded outside the courtyard gate.

"Oh, the owner, the creek, it's terrible, your mother fell into the river!"

"What? Fell into the river? ”

There is a river on the edge of Dahe Village, hence the name Dahe Village, although the river is wide but the water is not deep, and the villagers stack stones in the middle of the river to block a stall in order to wash clothes.

The depth is about the height of a person's chest.

In general, it is impossible to drown.

However, special cases are not excluded.

People in the village once drowned in the river.

When Chixi and Xi Dazhuang arrived, Tian Cuihe had already been rescued by people passing by, but the person was still unconscious, and he didn't know what the situation was for a while.

Chi Xi hurriedly rushed over to check it, and made sure that Tian Cuihe was still breathing, so he pressed Tian Cuihe's chest for artificial respiration under Xiao Ling's instructions.

The people in the village were stunned.

They didn't know what Chi Xi was doing, and Chi Xi didn't have time to explain, Xi Dazhuang was sweating profusely in a hurry, he understood that Chi Xi was saving his mother, so he didn't bother.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

I don't know how long it took.

It may be half an hour, or it may not even be half an hour.

Tian Cuihe coughed violently a few times and coughed up the water.

Chi Xi hurriedly hugged her upper body and went over to the side, patted her back and smoothed her back, and when Tian Cuihe coughed almost enough, she pulled the person back and hugged her in her arms, and asked anxiously: "Mother, how are you feeling now?" ”

Tian Cuihe coughed so much that his face was red and his neck was thick, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and he shook his head weakly: "Xiaoxi, I'm fine, I'm much better." ”

"Get out of the way, I'll take a look."

Shi Langzhong hurried over with a medicine box.

After the crowd dispersed, Shi Langzhong carefully checked Tian Cuihe's pulse, and then said, "I've choked on water, I've been breathing a little hard lately, and I'm coughing." I'll prescribe a patch for her to drink first, and she must pay attention to it so that she can recuperate. ”

Chi Xi nodded hurriedly: "Okay, please ask Lang Zhong to make medicine for my mother quickly." ”

Shi Langzhong looked at Chixi speechlessly, and said angrily: "Your family really has a lot of things, either this or that, can't you settle down?" ”

Xi Dazhuang frowned: "I gave the silver." ”

The corners of Shiro's mouth twitched, and he had nothing to say.

Eat people with short mouths and short hands.

Xi Dazhuang, as a son, couldn't care about any men and women at this time, he stepped forward to pick up Tian Cuihe and hurriedly ran home.

Pond Creek is a close second.

The villagers helped bring the basin and An An's clothes.

After making sure that Tian Cuihe was fine, Chi Xi remembered and asked, "I don't know who saved my mother?" ”

"Chu Xiucai."

The crowd didn't know who said it: "Chu Xiucai just returned home today, and saw Cuihe's sister-in-law fall into the river, and jumped into the river to save people without saying a word, and it happened that he was not far away, otherwise your mother is only afraid that it will be ......"

She didn't say the rest of the words, it was unlucky, but everyone knew what it meant.

Chi Xi nodded, indicating that he understood.

They were all so anxious that they didn't notice whether there was Chu Bicheng in the crowd.

And after they came back, Chu Bicheng didn't come with him, so Chi Xi could only tell Xi Dazhuang about it.

After Xi Dazhuang pondered for a moment, he nodded: "My husband knows, my mother's condition is basically stable, let Sister-in-law Osmanthus help take care of it, and you will come with me later to thank you." ”

"Okay."

Chixi asked people to go to the chicken, duck and goose pen to choose a chicken, duck and goose with a beautiful coat and a good look, and a piece of bacon that was very well smoked.

In the evening, he went to Chu's house with Xi Dazhuang with a thank you gift.

Chu Bicheng is the only talented man in the village.

Because his father used to be a carpenter and earned a lot of silver, even if the people are gone, this house in the village is still the best except for the Xi family.

Although it is not large, it is also a blue tile house.

The timber frame structure looks very strong.

Chu Bicheng is not at home on weekdays, and his mother lives alone in this big house, he was originally not at ease and wanted to take his mother to the county seat, but his mother didn't want to be a burden to him, and she was reluctant to go with him in this house.

In the past, the people in the village still said some sour things from time to time, but after he showed off his talent in the exam and saved Xi Dazhuang, with the Xi family taking care of him, the people in the village were also busy, and no one was looking for fault anymore.

"Chu Xiucai, are you at home?"

Xi Dazhuang stood outside the courtyard gate and shouted.

Chu Bicheng was about to chop wood, when he heard the sound, he put down the axe, and hurriedly put on the clothes that had been pulled apart because of the heat, and then replied loudly: "I am here." ”

His mother couldn't chop firewood at home alone, and he used to come back every once in a while to chop all the firewood.

But when he went home today, he saw that most of the firewood in the yard had not only been chopped, but also neatly piled up in the corner, and there were only two large firewood on the side that his mother had picked up today, so he wanted to chop it with his hands.

His mother said that Xi Dazhuang chopped the pile of firewood for her, and the Xi family took care of her a lot during this time.

Chu Bicheng knew that the Xi family was thinking of his kindness for saving Xi Dazhuang once, and treated his mother well.

That's a good thing for him.

At least he can rest assured later.

Growing up in a village, Chixi had seen Chu Bicheng, but that was when he was a child.

Since Chu Bicheng went to the county seat to study, he rarely returned to the village, and Chixi didn't deliberately go to see him.

"Oh, the big strong creek is coming? You came here and came, why did you bring so many things? You two are so polite, you have to bring something with you every time you come back. If you do it again, I won't open the door to you next time. ”

As soon as Chi Xi and Xi Dazhuang entered the house, Chu Bicheng's mother Zhang Fazhi opened her mouth helplessly.
