Chapter 158: Under the Willow Tree (5)
The prince sat alone in the house of flowers, and from time to time he looked around him, when he suddenly saw a clock on the broken wooden table, and it was still ticking and ticking. The clock face is painted with patterns, dragons and phoenixes coiled, noble and elegant, auspicious and festive, so that the prince is a little stunned. At this time, there was no one in the hall, and Hua Bo was cooking in the kitchen, and Xiaohua was too ashamed to see people, and did not come out for a long time, so the prince gathered to the side of the clock, took it, and put it into his arms.
When he got the clock, the prince was still unwilling, and looked around from time to time, but he couldn't take it with him because his pocket was limited, so he didn't pay attention to it, and just sat there speechless. At this time, the deserted village is silent, and there are few pedestrians on the road, even if you find pedestrians, most of them are in a hurry, busy with their own affairs, who has the leisure to take care of other people's affairs.
Uncle Hua discussed with Aunt Hua in the kitchen, whether to slaughter the pig and make something delicious for the prince, otherwise, the rice will spoil the prince, and Xiaohua will have no support in the future, so how can it be done? Aunt Hua pondered for a while, this pig is ready to be used for the New Year, so it will be slaughtered, so when I watched others kill pigs and sheep during the New Year, my family went to drink the northwest wind? I don't agree with it for a while, and only the man gives money to the woman, so how can he ask the woman to take care of the man's family, what kind of system is this?
"As a prince, when people come to our house, they can afford us, who we are, you don't know it, if you give us money and can't afford it, it will be disastrous." Hua Bo said, "I'd rather not want his money, as long as he treats Xiaohua well." ”
"Then you can't come to eat every day, if you eat like this, no matter how rich you are, you will be empty, not to mention that we are not rich." Aunt Hua complained.
"The reason why people come to eat is also to give us face, people in the deserted village say that I am so blessed, I can eat at the same table with the prince, and I go out on weekdays, how much people respect me, you don't see it, why do you feel sorry for this meal?" Hua Bo said, "To measure how much he can eat alone, we just need to put a little more effort into working in the mountains." ”
"But you can't kill a pig for him alone, can he finish eating, really." Aunt Hua complained.
"It doesn't matter if you can't finish eating, we can ask him to eat slowly, he doesn't just stay in our house for a day or two, it can almost be said that he comes every day, just so that he can cultivate a relationship with our little flower." Thanks to this prince, otherwise, our Xiaohua would have to find Shaoqiu's poor bastard, as long as our Xiaohua follows Shaoqiu, the people in the deserted village will look down on us, and it is even possible to beat us when they see us. ”
"The truth is this, since there is a prince, Xiaohua no longer wants to go to Shaoqiu, and stays at home obediently, just waiting to be the queen." Aunt Hua looked at Hua Bo and said this, and after saying this, her face turned red and smiled, and she looked really beautiful.
"That's right," said Hua Bo, "since we have a prince in our family, I don't often come to look for trouble, even if I meet a dog on the road, he won't bark at me endlessly." ”
"Then slaughter it." Aunt Hua said softly, she still didn't believe it, but she couldn't resist Uncle Hua, so she was ready to agree.
"Okay, I'm going to prepare, I have to serve our nobles well, so that Xiaohua will have a good life when she gets married, do you say?" Hua Bo looked at Aunt Hua and said, a smile appeared on his face at this time, so far in life, it can be said that he is very happy.
At this moment, for some reason, the pig ran out of the pen, groaning, and running around on the deserted village road, as if he was afraid of something. Yes, the Chinese New Year has not yet arrived, and this is going to kill yourself, isn't this unreasonable, but what?
Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua rushed out, and they had to get the damn pig back, otherwise, they would snub the prince and make Xiaohua lose her happiness, but this sin was too great, and the pig had to be caught anyway. But at this time, I don't know why, Uncle Hua's feet stumbled, and Aunt Hua's eyes seemed to fall into dust, and it was a little difficult to catch the little pig again.
"Forget it, I'm afraid I can't stand up with this foot, let alone chase the pig, but this pig chasing me is almost the same." Hua Bo looked at his wife and said, his face was quite embarrassed.
"Cut off the skull and die, you come and help me blow the dust in this eye, I can't wipe it off, I don't know what's wrong, you can help me take a look." Aunt Hua said with a sigh of urgency.
"No, I can't walk on this foot, how can I come and help you wipe the dust, you can do it yourself." Uncle Hua said to Aunt Hua.
The two husbands and wives returned to the hall, and at this time sat down at the table, looking at the prince, and for a moment they were very sorry, and felt sorry for the prince, so sorry. And the prince didn't realize it, don't say that he wouldn't kill the pig for him, even if he beat him, seeing that the prince had a kind face, it didn't seem to be worth it.
"Uncle, aunt, you don't need to kill pigs, just get some food, why bother so much?" The prince looked at the couple and said.
"Little tweed," said Uncle Hua to Aunt Hua, "Little flower! ”
Hua Bo screamed for a while, but didn't hear a response, I don't know where Xiaohua went, I didn't seize such a good opportunity, where would I go to find such a good person at that time. But where did Xiaohua go?
And Aunt Hua took a small stick at this time, and walked out of the door, with an angry face, as if she was going to fight as soon as she saw Xiaohua. "Look if you are still disobedient in the future, if you don't kill your little girl, the old lady will have your surname!" Aunt Hua muttered to herself while searching.
But Xiaohua was not at home, and at this time she walked to the river, and sat on the dilapidated dock at this time, beating her clothes incessantly. This is his own clothes, which have not been washed for a long time, and when the sun is shining, he takes them out and prepares them to be washed. Of course, there is also a fact that his father is not allowed to go out by himself, but he can also convince him that the girls in the deserted village, who have no laundry, their father is not necessarily going to beat people. Xiaohua believed that her father was not unreasonable, otherwise, she would never have carried her parents out of the house, and at this time she was sitting under the willow tree, accompanied by only the dilapidated dock and some old and unsightly clothes around her.
However, when Xiaohua turned around, she found a person standing behind her, her face was quite angry, and she was about to hit herself with a rattan in his hand. However, seeing that Xiaohua was washing clothes, and none of these clothes were new, after reading it, Aunt Hua blamed herself, other people's girls have new clothes to wear every year. At this time, put down the rattan, don't say that it hits, it's too late to hurt, how can you get it, no, throw this rattan away, and help Xiaohua wash her clothes.
