20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 73
The bells rang and the donkey cart drove up.

Daxiguan Street is far away from the commercial port, so it still has the appearance of an old city. It is not a busy city in the first place. When contrasted with the prosperity of the train station, it looks a bit depressed and lonely.

Jiang Xiaodao leisurely leaned on the donkey cart and headed towards Lao Cui's residence.Although he held a whip in his hand, he didn't use it much.The old donkey had the same temper as him. He just ignored it and walked quite fast. The more he whipped it, the less exerted it became.

After walking through streets and alleys for several years, both humans and donkeys have become familiar with the road, and they don't take away any mistakes with their eyes closed. When they arrived at their residence, Jiang Xiaodao suddenly frowned.

Not far away, I saw the door of Lao Cui's house open, and Hu Xiaoyan was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, looking out to show off her stupidity.

There was a group of beggars gathered at the door, including men and women. The oldest was in his teens and the youngest was eight or nine years old. They were asking for alms from Hu Xiaoyan.

"It's these little bastards again!" Jiang Xiaodao cursed fiercely.

Probably Lao Cui had the habit of making friends with little beggars before. Ever since he brought Hu Xiaoyan here from Jiang Xiaodao, these little beggars have been coming here every now and then, and they are becoming more frequent. Every time they come, they say they want to look after Lao Cui's home and care for the home. , In fact, they are just fooling around and asking for a few big bucks.

They were all quite afraid of Jiang Xiaodao, but they were getting closer and closer to Hu Xiaoyan. The reason was simply that they both came from important families, and they had a mutual understanding of the hardships involved.

Jiang Xiaodao didn't care about that. Even though Hu Xiaoyan was just a cheap wife he "picked up", he really regarded her as a treasure that outsiders couldn't see, let alone touch.

He didn't like to hear the idea of ​​"brothers are like brothers and sisters, women are like clothes". He was just being petty.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Jiang Xiaodao immediately turned over and got out of the car, shouting sternly: "You little bastard, do you really treat me like a relative visiting me? Get lost!"

When the little beggars saw the "Hunty" coming, they immediately dispersed.

Jiang Xiaodao still couldn't get over his anger, so he turned to his wife and said, "What's the matter with you? It's not good to open the door to sell idiots in broad daylight and let others look at you! You often lean against the door, don't you think you are a humble concubine?" Feng Chen! Do you know?"

Hu Xiaoyan ignored him and struggled to move the wooden wheelchair into the house.

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Jiang Xiaodao followed in and closed the door. "It's almost winter. Do you have enough firewood at home?"

Hu Xiaoyan entered the back room quietly.

"Hey! What do you mean you keep silent? What I just said is wrong?" Jiang Xiaodao walked around to his wife, "What are you doing? Showing off your face to me? I tell you, if you press your nose on your face again, I will get slapped in the face. you!"

Hu Xiaoyan parked the wooden wheelchair beside the kang, lay down and climbed onto the kang.

"Can you do it?"

Jiang Xiaodao couldn't stand it anymore and hurried over to help.Hu Xiaoyan didn't stop him and let him put her on the kang.

After their daughter-in-law was settled here, Jiang Xiaodao felt a little weak when he saw that Hu Xiaoyan still didn't speak. He was worried that she would complain to her father, so her words became softer.

"What's wrong? Are you angry?" Jiang Xiaodao looked at Hu Xiaoyan with a straight face, "Why are you angry? It's not all up to you to do this today... Well, I'm a big man and I won't follow either. You generally know... Let's do this, you apologize to me, even if this matter is over... Don't say I won't give you a step, that's it... I'm not afraid that you will be abducted!"

Of course, Hu Xiaoyan didn't apologize. She just put her hands on the kang and said, "What are you worried about? I'm a cripple and no one cares about me."

Jiang Xiaodao frowned: "You said that I am not a human being?"

"You didn't want to marry me just because you fell in love with me."

"Which bastard is digging into the ditch here?" Jiang Xiaodao immediately raised his neck, "I want to marry you because I care about you!"

"Stop it, you're not."

"I am!"

The overwhelming energy is still there, but it is no longer so reckless, and I know where to use the energy.Hu Xiaoyan has also grown up. She is seventeen or eighteen years old. She has been eating and drinking well in the past few years. She is no longer the little black girl she used to be. She has a round face, big eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, plump lips and white teeth. She is not pretty, but her facial features are dignified, but she has the face of a natural daughter-in-law.

After spending time with Jiang Xiaodao, she was no longer as timid as before, and she no longer held back what she needed to say.

"My legs and feet are not convenient, and you are not always here. I am bored by myself. If I don't find someone to talk to, I will be stupid."

"Hey! If you feel bored, why don't I take you out for a walk!" Jiang Xiaodao pretended to carry his wife on his back.

But Hu Xiaoyan quickly stopped her, looked down at her legs, and shook her head: "I won't go out, I'm sorry."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaodao slammed the table and cursed: "Fart! Let's see who dares to laugh at you!"

"just forget it."

Jiang Xiaodao thought for a while and then suggested: "How about I go to the countryside to find two singers for you, and invite your family to come over?"

Hu Xiaoyan still shook her head: "No need, I'll just say a few words to those children that nothing's wrong."

Jiang Xiaodao curled his lips: "They are a bunch of brats, what do you have to say to them!"

"That's not true. Those kids walking around the streets know a lot, as much as you do!"

"Pull him down! You are really good at nagging, what can they know? It's just Zhang's family, Li's family is short, Wang Er's pockmark is shameless!"

"It depends on what you ask!" Hu Xiaoyan snorted, "We both had to have dinner together before. Why do we look down on others just after two good days? If you don't believe me, you can ask me."

"Let me ask you?" Jiang Xiaodao crossed his legs and got on the kang, becoming more interested, "Okay, a new restaurant has opened in Xiaoxiguan..."

"Juxiang Tower, the shopkeeper's surname is Chen."

"Huh?" Jiang Xiaodao was a little surprised. He scratched his head and thought of another question, "The Mala Mala Railway, from Xiaoxi Gate to the train station..."

"The fare is half a cent."

Jiang Xiaodao was very competitive and immediately started to compete with his wife, but he never thought that no matter what he asked, as long as it was about major news in Fengtian City, Hu Xiaoyan would answer every question fluently.There were some things that even he himself had never heard of. For a moment, he didn't know whether to admire Xiaoyan's carefulness or to admire those little beggars for being well-informed.

"It's really weird..." Jiang Xiaodao murmured to himself, still thinking about what to do to tie up his wife.

However, Hu Xiaoyan opened her coat trunk, took out a package, and said, "Don't think about it, just leave quickly."

"Huh? Where to go?"

Hu Xiaoyan asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Dad celebrates his birthday tomorrow. If you came to my place at this time, wouldn't you pick me up?"

"Oh, right, right!" Jiang Xiaodao slapped his forehead, "Just talking, I forgot why I came here."

"Let's go." Hu Xiaoyan opened her arms and said, "Carry me out. Don't forget to take my little wooden wheel."

Jiang Xiaodao, however, moved slowly in front of his wife, face to face, smiling and saying nothing.

Hu Xiaoyan was startled: "What are you doing?"

"Hey, it smells good!"
