The charming little lucky wife of the peasant family

Chapter 7

Just after eating, before he had time to tidy up, it started to rain heavily. Xu Baozhu originally wanted to go to the mountains to collect herbs, but seeing the situation, he had to give up temporarily.

This autumn rain is soft, not heavy, but it is very tormenting. Xu's earthen house has been old for many years and cannot withstand any wind and frost. Now it is raining non-stop, and the hay on the roof has seeped into the house, covering a corner of the main room. A small hole dripped out.

"Girl, quickly bring the basin." Old man Xu directed.

"Hey."

Xu Baozhu handed him a wooden basin, and she took another one, and the two worked together to get going.

"The day is really changing. Yesterday it was sunny, but today it's raining heavily." Xu Baozhu complained while wiping the water stains on his face.

The old man Xu looked at the dripping water in the basin, and sighed: "This old house always has problems when it is windy and rainy. It seems that it can't be done."

"Well, it's already autumn in a blink of an eye, I'm afraid there will be many such things, why don't we find a chance to renovate it one day, build a better one this time, why not make it a wooden house, Dad. "

The south here is relatively humid, and the next land is wet every season, and the bedding and clothes are not easy to dry. It is troublesome. It may be better to build a wooden house with an empty floor.

Old man Xu sighed, "It's not that easy."

"Father is worried about money?"

"That's not true." The old man Xu said, "It seems that the harvest in that field is not very good this year, and the government has issued an official document to pay a hundred shi grains. A few days ago, Zheng Zheng came to inform that each family has to set aside five Shi Liang came, considering our family’s situation, we only called Liu San Shi, if we renovate the house at this time, the village may think that we deliberately don’t want to pay the grain.”

Xu Baozhu didn't think about it.

"Is it always like this in previous years?"

"You girl is confused, wasn't it a stone before, you gave it with me."

Xu Baozhu scratched her head, and hid her embarrassment with a smile, "I've been too tired recently, and my memory is not very good, so why are there so many this year?"

"Father doesn't know either. It seems to be saying that the court has changed its head. Anyway, there are too many."

"Oh!"

A crisp sound.

A porcelain bowl fell to the ground and instantly shattered into pieces.

Only then did Xu Baozhu and Old Man Xu realize that Zhu Yun had been ignored by them for a long time.

"What's wrong?" Xu Baozhu looked at the trembling hand, "Did the wound get pulled?"

"fine."

Zhu Yun avoided her concerned eyes and said, "I'm not feeling well, I want to go to rest first, I wonder if it's ok?"

Xu Baozhu glanced at the sky outside. Although the rain had lightened a bit, it was still falling, so she refused, "Wait for the rain to stop, the injury on your foot can't bear too much cold."

Zhu Yun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's only a few steps away."

As he spoke, he got up and wanted to leave, but Xu Baozhu immediately pulled him back, "You are a doctor and my father is a doctor, the wound on your wrist is so deep, it's gone to the bone, you haven't healed well before, Still doing it now, I really don’t want your leg anymore?”

The old man Xu put away his dry cigarette, and his expression became serious, "Baby girl is also doing it for your own good, so you can just listen to her."

"Cough, cough, cough." Zhu Yun was just about to answer, but felt a discomfort in his throat, and then coughed violently.

Xu Baozhu patted him on the back, and said: "Look at you, how can you stay alone alone? If anything happens, how will Father and I take care of it? You don't intend to ruin my reputation and my father's reputation." ?"

Zhu Yun blushed from her words, bowed her head and fell silent.

Xu Baozhu saw that these words were effective, and continued: "You just sit here, if you have something to do, you can take care of it."

"Ah."

Zhu Yun did not continue to insist.

The three sat in the main room, listening to the pattering rain, gossiping, but most of them were Xu Baozhu and the old man Xu talking, and Zhu Yun was just listening. He didn't take the initiative to express opinions, and he didn't take the time to talk about himself. The past, the two knew his temperament, and did not persecute him.

In the afternoon, when the rain finally stopped, Xu Baozhu didn't stop her, and went back to the house with the help of others. After explaining a few words, she packed up and went out. When she just left the village entrance, she bumped into the Qian family brothers and a few young people from the village. .

The eldest brother of the Qian family, Qian Cheng, straddled his younger brother with his hands half-stretched, dripping with blood, which was especially oozing.

Xu Baozhu frowned slightly, and asked: "What's the matter, why did Brother Qian get hurt so badly?"

"Oh, don't mention it." Qian Jin let out a long sigh, and said, "It's good that you are here, hurry...please invite your father to come to my house." "

"it is good."

Xu Baozhu gave up the idea of ​​going up the mountain, ran home in a hurry, and brought old man Xu to Qian's house.

This is the only family with the surname of outsider in the village. Because they are foreigners, they are afraid of being kicked out if they get upset at any time, so they have always maintained friendly contacts with the villagers, including Xu Baozhu and his daughter.

When I was young, the children of the Qian family were the only ones who were willing to play with Xu Baozhu. The eldest of the Qian family, Qian Cheng, would often secretly feed her the cakes baked by his mother. As they grew up, they gradually drifted away.

After all, no family is willing to let their very old children touch someone who has not married eight times.

"How is it, Brother Xu, is Ah Cheng okay?" Mother Qian asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I've put the dislocated shoulder bone back in place, and the bleeding has stopped, I just need to wait for this period of time, just take a good rest."

"call."

Hearing this, Mother Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise we really don't know what to do."

The old man Xu waved his hands indifferently, "We are all in the same village, so we should help each other, and I happen to know a little about Qihuang, so I can help you, it's not worth mentioning."

Mother Qian licked her lips, she was so moved that she didn't know what to say.

She turned around and went back to the room, went under the bed cabinet, took out ten copper coins, handed them to the old man Xu, and said, "Brother, I know your rules, this is a reward, and our marriage to Bao girl A little blessing."

Mother Qian looked at Xu Baozhu, "Girl, don't worry about what happened before with your aunt."

Xu Baozhu knew that she was talking about the original owner and the eldest brother of the Qian family. The two were childhood sweethearts. What kind of thoughts did they have? In fact, the parents of both parties could understand it, but it's okay to take care of it. If he didn't dare to gamble, he simply beat the mandarin ducks with a stick and proposed a marriage with money.

That girl is from a distant village, and the family doesn't want her to part with her, so they don't marry until after a year.

"I don't remember much about the past, so don't worry about it, Auntie."

Qian Jin couldn't help but glance at his elder brother when he heard the words, Qian Cheng turned his head away as if he didn't hear it, but the moment he turned sideways, his face collapsed.

"By the way, why did you guys go there? How did Brother Qian get hurt?" Xu Baozhu changed the subject and asked Qian Jin about himself.

"A few days ago we went down the mountain to hide, and today we went to harvest, but a wild boar suddenly popped up on the way down the mountain, and it rained again. We couldn't dodge in time, and my elder brother got hurt trying to protect me." Qian Jin said This is a face of guilt.

"Wild boar?"

Xu Baozhu muttered, "This is a good thing!"
