Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 60 First Date: Bazaar
After a short rest, the three of Mrs. Li went to work in the field.

Da Zhuang came to look for Amu, together with several other children, played with the eagle to catch chickens at the door, Xu Qiuer was called to be a "hen", and Da Zhuang, who was the strongest, became the eagle.Ning Xiang was sitting on the big rock beside the door, just in time for the poplar trees to cast a shade. She leaned against the wall behind her, watching them play with a smile.

Of the five "chicks", only Amu was left, and the little guy was holding on to Xu Qiuer's clothes tightly, hiding his face flushed and laughing constantly.

Ning Xiang couldn't help laughing.

The sound of hooves suddenly came from the west street, because Lu Cheng's family had a donkey, Ning Xiang became nervous when she heard the sound of hooves, she turned her head to look over, but saw that the donkey that was exposed first was much smaller than the one in Lu Cheng's family, she was relieved At the same time, the man driving the car also appeared.

"Brother!" Da Zhuang shouted loudly when he saw his brother came back.

Amu also looked over, just poked his head out, and saw Da Zhuang rushing over, Amu yelled, and pulled his second sister hard.

Xu Qiu'er didn't pay attention, and was staggered by her cousin, just in time Da Zhuang rushed over, the three of them collided and fell down.

"Are you okay?" Ning Xiang hurried over.

"I'm fine!" Amu patted his butt and stood up, smiling at his sister.

The boy is not afraid of falling, so Ning Xiang goes to help Xu Qiu'er.

"Da Zhuang, you belong to the cow!" Xu Qiu'er said angrily because Da Zhuang bumped her stomach into pain.

Da Zhuang knew he had made a mistake, so he turned around and ran to the donkey cart that had just parked in front of his house, ignoring the people getting on and off the cart, and first went to see if there was anything good on the cart.

His elder brother Zhang Biao said something in a low voice. Seeing that his younger brother didn't listen, Zhang Biao looked a little embarrassed, and stood beside the car and greeted Ning Xiang politely, "Why is Xiang'er at home today?"

He is eighteen this year, the same age as Xu Huai, the two families live next door, and he does not see him when he looks up. Xu Huai's two younger sisters are also younger sisters in his eyes. The girl who only came home once a month after entering the Hou Mansion, Zhang Biao suddenly couldn't connect her with the thin little sister Xiang'er when she was a child.

When Ningxiang was a child, he would touch her on the head whenever he met her. For some reason, Zhang Biao didn't dare to look her in the eyes of the big girl in front of him.

"My sister has redeemed herself, and she will be at home every day from now on!" Amu stood next to her sister, smiling authentically.

Zhang Biao looked at Ningxiang in shock.

He saw that Ningxiang was unfamiliar, and Ningxiang smiled and nodded when facing the tall and strong elder brother next door who hadn't seen several times in more than three years, and her eyes fell on Zhang Biao. Behind him, he recognized the ten-year-old girl as Zhang Biao's little cousin Liu Ye, and his heart was a little turbulent.

Liu Ye also recognized her, looked up, and saw that her cousin was really good looking at Ningxiang, she secretly tugged on her sleeve, and threatened in a low voice: "Cousin will look at her again, I will tell you when I go home." Sister go!"

Zhang Biao and her sister Liu Zhi have already made an engagement, and they will be married in September.

Whether her voice was high or low, Zhang Biao looked at Ningxiang nervously, seeing her lowering her head and patting the dirt behind Amu, wondering if she heard what the little cousin said, Zhang Biao was extremely embarrassed, and stared at the little cousin Glancing at it, he said to Ningxiang: "This is a good thing, congratulations to Xiang'er, then you guys continue to play, we will go in first."

Turning around, let Liu Ye Dazhuang stand aside, and he led the donkey cart into it.

Da Zhuang followed his brother closely.

Liu Ye was a few steps behind, and when she was about to enter the gate, she raised her chin towards Ningxiang and snorted, "When will you come back? Haven't told your uncle yet, I'm going home tomorrow, do you want me to pass on a message for you? Give it to me Five cents will do!"

Her family lived in the same village as Uncle Ningxiang's, about ten miles away from Liuxi Village.

"Would you like a slap in the face?" Xu Qiuer scolded, staring at the little girl who has so many thoughts at such a young age.

They refused to give the money, Liu Ye snorted again, and walked briskly into the gate of the aunt's house.

"Sister, don't pay attention to her." Xu Qiu'er took her cousin's arm and walked towards her house, "Back then when my sister borrowed money, they obviously had it but they refused to give it to you. My sister and nephew didn't care about their lives. Such an uncle still cares about him. What are you doing? Anyway, I haven’t contacted you for so many years, so let’s just treat it as a broken door.”

Ning Xiang lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Amu raised his head and whispered to his sister, "Uncle gave me lucky money last year."

Ningxiang knew that her uncle came secretly, gave her brother two silver coins and left. When she returned home, her brother gave her the money.

She also knew that it wasn't that her uncle didn't want to lend her money back then, but that her aunt brought the money back to her mother's house. The uncle went to look for it, but the aunt refused to give it to her. My aunt clutched her stomach and complained of a stomachache.Uncle, like Uncle Zhang next door, is an honest person. It is not easy to do what the daughter-in-law says and listens to. Ning Xiang didn't want her uncle and aunt to fight because of their quarrel, so she went to find her matchmaker.

She didn't hate her uncle, but her uncle and aunt were angry at her uncle for being useless, and she didn't allow her to enter the gate of her house again. The uncle was watched by her aunt, so she had to sneak in, and I don't know how long my uncle had saved the two coins behind his back.

Xu Qiu'er saw her cousin's expression was gloomy, and closed her mouth wisely.

The next morning, Ning Xiang got up early to open the door, and accidentally saw Zhang Biao coming from the east road, and she didn't know where she went early in the morning.

"Brother Zhang." Ning Xiang greeted him politely.

Zhang Biao hesitated. His fiancée's cousin thought he was nice to the two younger sisters of the Xu family when she was a child. If she knew that he was helping Ningxiang, she would definitely play tricks on him again.But looking at the soft and demure girl standing in front of the door, Zhang Biao still took a few steps towards Ningxiang slowly, and stammered: "Xiang'er, I, I will send Liu Ye back after breakfast, do you need me?" Tell your uncle for you?"

Ningxiang thought for a while, she might as well tell her uncle about such a big matter as her own redemption, and said gratefully: "Brother Zhang, if it is convenient, then you can tell me for me, if you are too busy to get away, you don't have to make a special trip .”

Zhang Biao hummed, took a look into Xu's courtyard, and said as he walked, "Then you go, I'm going back."

Ning Xiang nodded, watching Zhang Biao walk towards the next door, she turned around and fetched water to wash up.

Zhang Biao came back after a while and told her that he had already told her uncle Zhang Man himself, "He said he would come to see you when he was free."

Ning Xiang smiled and chatted with Zhang Biao, "Brother Zhang's wedding is coming soon, I haven't congratulated you yet."

She knows Liuzhi, and her temper is a bit like that of Liuye yesterday. She doesn't know how much her appearance has changed over the years.

Hearing her mention of her fiancée, Zhang Biao was inexplicably guilty, and found an excuse to hurry home.

Ning Xiang didn't take this matter to heart, and based on her understanding of her uncle, she would have to wait for a while even if she came.

The next day was the ninth day, and there was a market in the town.

Mrs. Li took her niece and daughter to the market. Amu liked the market the most, so of course she followed.

Coincidentally, to go to the town, they had to go through Donglin Village and then continue north.

When walking into Donglin Village along the main road, Ning Xiang was extremely nervous, afraid that Lu Cheng would have been waiting for a "chance encounter" in the village long ago, so she didn't dare to look, and was also afraid that he would suddenly appear from nowhere, it would feel like walking Entering a place full of danger, my heart hangs.

"I don't know where Brother Lu's family lives." The cousin and Lu Cheng have quietly gotten along, and now that they are in Donglin Village, Xu Qiuer is naturally curious.

"Brother Lu said that their family lives in the east of the village, and they can see the roof of our house from the roof, but they can't see people clearly." Amu, who accompanied Brother Lu to release the eagle twice, raised his head.

Mrs. Li, who farmed in Chunchang, came to Lu Cheng's house for dinner, turned around to look back, and raised his hand to point them in a general direction.

They wanted to cross the main road in the middle of Donglin Village, and they had already passed the east of the village.

Ningxiang looked around and quietly remembered it in her heart.

Even though she guessed that Lu Cheng would probably not be waiting for her in the village, Ning Xiang was still worried, until she walked out of Donglin Village on the dirt road leading to the town, and there was no sign of Lu Cheng before and after, Ning Xiang was really relieved.

She couldn't even explain what was going on, she agreed to be with him, but she was even more afraid of meeting him, and just thinking about it made her flustered.

Walking and walking, I came to a stone bridge, five or six feet wide, below which was the Beihe River, which zigzagged all the way to the east.Summer is when the water is high, and it happens that the river bed here is undulating and steep, and the river runs wildly, hitting the stones and splashing a string of water droplets.Hearing the sound of rushing water, Ning Xiang's face turned pale, and she couldn't help pulling her younger brother towards her.

Xu Qiu'er didn't know what was on her sister's mind, so she whispered: "Last year, it rained heavily, and I heard that the bridge was flooded. When the water came up, someone was on the bridge and rushed away."

"Did he swim up?" Ning Xiang asked with concern.

"He swam up, he was desperate, and when he rushed to our side, he hugged a fallen tree, but he was scared to death." Xu Qiuer purely gossiped.

Mrs. Li noticed that her niece's face was not right, so she nodded her daughter's head, and forbade her to say such things again.

After crossing the bridge, I walked to the town for another cup of tea.The market is located in an open space in the south of the town. Those who sell grain, vegetables, baskets, kitchen utensils, chickens, ducks and livestock, clothes, cloth and jewelry, and snacks and cooked food all gather together.All the villagers within a radius of ten miles came here to go to the market, and many people gathered early.

Of course, there are many shops in the town, such as clothes and jewelry, but the things there are more expensive than those in the market. Those who have more spare money at home and want to buy good things go to the shops, and those who have no money and want to dress up go to the market. Talk about the price carefully. Generally, stall owners who sell ten yuan can talk about three or four yuan. How much cheaper depends on how good their mouth is.

Mrs. Li is a thrifty character, she only planned to go shopping in the market, and led the children there.

Ning Xiang began to secretly look for Lu Cheng again.

I looked around, but couldn't find it.

Ning Xiang couldn't help being a little disappointed.

I was afraid to see him, but I didn't see him, and the part of my heart that was jumping nervously suddenly became empty again.

"Buy the cloth first, and then buy the chicken cubs last, so as not to be inconvenient to buy early." Li said to his niece while walking.

Just as Ningxiang was about to nod her head, Xu Qiuer took her arm and turned towards the rouge stall, and said playfully, "Mother, go pick the cloth first, and my sister and I will go to see the comb rouge, and I will go to you later."

She knows her mother best, and she has to shop around for everything, which takes time.

The little girls are all stinky, Li shook his head helplessly, and told them to come here early.

Ningxiang agreed with a smile, holding her younger brother tightly with one hand, and protecting him at all times, so as not to be bumped by people coming and going.

"Sister Xu, you are here too!"

Ning Xiang heard A Tao's voice suddenly, following the sound, she saw A Tao standing in front of a jewelry booth, waving happily to them.

Ning Xiang smiled at the little girl, and looked beside her nervously.

But I only saw a woman who was about the same age as my aunt, standing in front of two beautiful girls, one looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and the other was about ten years old, both had fair faces and moist peach eyes, Looking at her curiously, it was obvious that he and A Tao were in the same group.

A guess suddenly popped up in her mind, Ning Xiang was even more nervous because she was disappointed because she didn't see Lu Cheng.

That white-skinned woman with not outstanding facial features is very delicate, isn't she Second Aunt Lu Cheng?

By coincidence, Ning Xiang quietly smoothed her hair on the temples under the cover of a figure.
