Zhang Xiaodong didn't plan to really "demonstrate" her, seeing that Xiao Nizi was shy, he put away the action of taking off his pants.

"I'll go outside, you solve it quickly, don't move other crooked thoughts!"

With that, he opened the door of the hall and went out.

Ooh!

It's the end of October, and the night on the mountain is really cold.

After a sleep, he felt that the alcohol and medicinal effects in his body had dissipated a lot, and looking at the current night, it was estimated that it was already ten o'clock. Although this point was only the beginning of the night life before he was reborn, at this moment, the mountain village was silent.

Zhang Xiaodong subconsciously touched his pocket, but found that there was nothing on his body.

"I almost forgot, I'm still a fool, where do I smoke."

And in their place, there are no cigarettes at all. One is that you can't afford to smoke, and the other is that you can't get used to it.

In the words of his elderly uncle, "That thing, it's boring!" ”

People in the mountains smoke dry tobacco, either with tobacco pouches, or with newspapers or children's homework books rolled up and smoked.

Uncle has a dry tobacco pouch handed down by his grandfather, which has never left his hand as a family heirloom. Every time my aunt saw him smoke non-stop and wanted to grab his cigarette pouch, the uncle said that you stinky mother-in-law wanted to rob my grandfather's life!

But Zhang Xiaodong only learned to smoke when he started a business later, so he was not used to smoking.

It's like he's no longer used to the backward and ignorant people and things in this mountain village.

In his previous life, he didn't have a deep understanding of the affairs in the village, but he didn't expect to hide such a dirty thing that Wang Xu did. and his unscrupulous fourth uncle, in his previous life, he bought him a coffin that was expensive when he died.

Zhang Xiaodong is not a pure little sheep, and he was able to get ahead in the business world in his previous life, and he couldn't be stupid. Reliving a lifetime, Yan Ruohua is the untouchable bottom line in his heart.

He had already secretly memorized every account in his heart, combined with the things in his previous life, and also had a preliminary plan, just waiting for the time to be ripe.

And tomorrow is when the first seed is planted.

……

Suddenly, there was a slight knock on the door behind him, Zhang Xiaodong looked back, instantly understood, and shook his head helplessly.

"I guess this little girl checked again to see if the door was closed."

Sure enough, after a while, there was a sparse sound of water in the house, but Xiao Nizi should still be shy, and the sound was restrained and even.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaodong simply came to the old tree in the yard, slipped out the birds, opened the gate and released the water, and the sound suddenly overshadowed the house.

"How much did I drink that night......

When it was done, the movement in the house also stopped. Zhang Xiaodong wanted to stay in the courtyard for a while, but he was used to life in the city in his previous life, and he couldn't bear the cold on the mountain, so he entered the house again.

To his surprise, Yan Ruohua was sitting on the bench in the hall looking at the door, and the bucket was placed in the most inconspicuous place in the corner.

In fact, in his memory, this bucket was really used by him to fetch water for bathing, his parents had been dead for several years, and he was the only one living in this house, and he didn't need a urine bucket at all. I want to pee at night, just like I did just now, I can solve it under the tree in the yard and it's over.

"Why don't you go in and sleep!" Zhang Xiaodong said in a deep voice.

"I ...... I'm hungry......" Xiao Nizi's voice was weak.

It was very cooperative, and her stomach also made a gurgling sound.

It was already evening when she was taken into the mountains by the matchmaker Li, and she was handed over to a few middle-aged women and taken directly into this old mansion.

Although someone had secretly stuffed a stick dough cake into her pocket on the way, she was so nervous and scared that she couldn't eat it at all. When I entered the house, my hands and feet were tied again, and I didn't have a chance to eat.

At this moment, her mind slowly relaxed, and she felt a deep hunger. But if you feel in your pocket, there is still that piece of cake.

"I didn't know it in my previous life, so this girl was hungry all night......

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaodong felt even more distressed.

There is an earthen stove in the hall of this old house, and there are also some loose firewood next to it. In his memory, at this time in his previous life, he should have occasionally made a fire to cook. Because at that time, there was a saying among the children in the village: Fools cook better than your mother.

"Go, you go to the back room first, don't get in the way here!"

He put Yan Ruohua inside, and rummaged through the cabinet next to the stove.

After turning it over for a long time, there were only dry noodles and a small bowl of lard or so.

Okay, that's enough!

Light a fire, add firewood, pour water, and when the water boils, a handful of noodles slip down.

Tilting his head again, he saw that Yan Ruohua was holding the curtain and only revealing a small head, looking at him with big eyes.

"Haven't you seen an earthen stove before?" Zhang Xiaodong asked disdainfully.

"I've seen this before!" Nizi lifted her chin with effort.

"Hush." Zhang Xiaodong sneered and continued to add firewood to the stove.

"That...... I have a question for you, can you? Yan Ruohua said.

"No, you can't."

"......" Yan Ruohua hesitated for a moment, and finally asked cautiously:

"Why do you want to ...... Help me get out of here. ”

In fact, what she still wants to ask in her heart is, why are you so good to me. But she was afraid that after asking, Zhang Xiaodong would not be so good to her. Although Zhang Xiaodong's tone was still fierce to her most of the time, she could see the carefulness that was mixed in him. In the past, only my father would cook himself a bowl of supper no matter how late it was after he said he was hungry.

"You're a burden to me here." Zhang Xiaodong replied casually.

You don't belong here, you have where you have to go.

"But since you want to help me leave...... Then why did you ask a matchmaker to marry from the outside...... Marry a daughter-in-law and come back. Yan Ruohua asked suspiciously and shyly.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaodong glanced at Xiao Nizi playfully and said, "Yo, it turns out that you know that you are my daughter-in-law!" I changed my mind and won't send you away, why don't you call my husband first? ”

"......" Yan Ruohua didn't want to continue talking to him, and shrank her head into the back room.

Actually, it was Zhang Xiaodong who didn't think about what to say all of a sudden. He was still a fool at this time in his previous life, and the marriage was arranged by the fourth uncle, and the whole process had nothing to do with him.

However, he knew in his heart that the fourth uncle begged for his daughter-in-law purely for several other relatives to see, in order not to lose his tongue, and to be able to pocket the majority of the money left by his parents for him. Otherwise, whether he, a fool, can marry a wife, he Zhang Chunlei probably doesn't bother to care.

In silence, the noodles were cooked.

Zhang Xiaodong scooped the noodles onto the plate, poured out the water, then rolled out a large spoonful of lard and put it into the pot, and when it was hot, poured the lard on the noodles that had been poured soy sauce in advance.

That's it! Mixed noodles with lard and soy sauce!

Smelling the fragrance, Yan Ruohua poked her head out again, her throat thumped, and she honestly walked over and sat down at the table.

"Heh, the mouth is honest." Zhang Xiaodong said in his heart.

He placed the noodles in front of Yan Ruohua, and then filled a bowl of soup for cooking noodles.

"Eat slowly, drink some soup, the air in the mountains is dry, be careful of a sore throat tomorrow."

"Hmm." Yan Ruohua was already gobbling it up.

This one is so fragrant!

Suck! Yan Ruohua picked up a big chopstick.

"Because I want to go down the mountain too." Looking at Yan Ruohua's appearance of eating noodles, Zhang Xiaodong said suddenly.

"Huh?" Yan Ruohua raised her head, with noodles hanging from the corners of her mouth.

"There is a rule in our Pinggu Village, people who have not become a family cannot go out, I have enough of life on this mountain, and I want to go to the outside world to break through, so I want to help you out, in fact, I also help myself out." Zhang Xiaodong said seriously.

"Hmm......" Xiao Nizi nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly, she thought of something and quickly swallowed the noodles in her mouth.

"After that goes out, the two of us ......"

Zhang Xiaodong instantly understood what she wanted to say, smiled and interrupted: "After I send you to a safe place, we will go our separate ways." You can't get a marriage certificate at your age now, we don't count this, do you really want to marry me? ”

"I didn't!" Yan Ruohua's face flushed.

Hearing this 'I didn't', Zhang Xiaodong paused and continued:

"You are a daughter-in-law who married from outside, and those elders in the village are afraid that you are poor here, and if you want to go home, they will definitely have an extra pair of eyes on you, and they will not let you go out with me soon.

Don't worry about running on your own, you have to walk for two or three hours from the village to the town, and then it's a long way up the hill from the town. During this time, you listen to my arrangement, and I will guarantee your safety. If everything goes well, we will be able to go down the mountain after the beginning of spring. ”

"Oooh...... I listen to you. Yan Ruohua nodded and continued to bow her head.

Looking at her obedient appearance, Zhang Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, he originally thought that Yan Ruohua would be very disappointed when he heard that he could leave after the New Year, but he didn't expect her to accept it calmly.

In fact, Zhang Xiaodong wanted to ask her how Mrs. Li found her family in the city, and why her family married her to the mountains. But when he thought about it, the reason for this is that there is a sad story, and this girl's mood has finally stabilized, so let's talk about it later......

……

Xiao Nizi had a good appetite, and in the end, she ate the whole plate of noodles.

Zhang Xiaodong muttered, "I want to send your pig away quickly, otherwise how can I afford to feed it", and washed the dishes and chopsticks.

After eating and drinking, Yan Ruohua finally fell asleep, so the two of them lay back on the bed neatly, with a warm air wall in between, but unlike before, one corner of the quilt broke this air wall and covered Zhang Xiaodong's body.

"Well, I haven't asked yet, what's your name?"

"Zhang Xiaodong."

Zhang Xiaodong ...... The east of the east is still the winter of winter. ”

"Winter's winter."

"Oh...... That, my name is, Yan Ruohua, the red face, the Fanghua Hua. ”

"I know."

“……”

"Sleep."

"Hmmm......"
