Chapter 8 The Ox Cart Incident
After a good night's sleep, Pei Xiangxiang got up very early the next day, but after she got dressed, she realized that she was the last one in the family to get up, and Pei Yongping had already had breakfast and went out to work, and Yang was already busy cleaning the house.

Seeing Pei Xiangxiang get up, Yang said, "Hurry up and wash up and eat. Later, Cuimiao's house will go to the town. Let's go there together. The wound on your head needs to be changed."

Cuimiao is a girl who is more than one year older than Pei Xiangxiang. She is ten years old this year. She lives at the entrance of the village. She is considered to be a relatively wealthy family in Nanhe Village. The family opened a grocery store and bought a cow. They drive the cart every month. I went to Qingyang Town, which is the closest to Nanhe Village, to buy goods several times. Mrs. Yang went there a few days ago to tell them that when they went to Qingyang Town, they would go there in a bullock cart.

"Oh, I see." Pei Xiangxiang touched the gauze wrapped around his head, and he didn't know how long it would take for the injury on his head to heal.

While Pei Xiangxiang was washing up, Mrs. Yang hurriedly brought out all the hot food in the pot, and after finishing it, she casually asked Pei Xiangxiang, "Xiangxiang, did you hear anything last night, the house seems to have been burglarized. "

When she heard about the robber, Pei Xiangxiang suddenly became nervous and asked, "Mom, did you lose anything at home?" She was not very heavy when she was sleeping yesterday, and if someone really came in, she should be able to sense it.

"It's not something expensive, just half a catty of salt is missing, and there are some garlic cloves and ginger."

As soon as Yang's words came out, Pei Xiangxiang's mouth twitched, thinking that Yang's memory is so good that he can even remember such things clearly, but it's hard to tell her that he used it secretly, otherwise he would explain it Some trouble.

"If you were really a thief, you would definitely not steal these things. Did your mother remember wrongly?" Pei Xiangxiang lowered his head and did not look at Yang, for fear that she would notice something strange.

"Well, it's also possible that my memory is wrong. I'm going to town today, and I'll buy some later. You eat first, and I'll go to Cuimiao's house to see when they leave today."

The topic changed, and Pei Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief. After washing up, he quickly sat down to eat.

What Yang left for Pei Xiangxiang was cabbage, a small plate of pickles, and a poached egg. Pei Xiangxiang knew that this egg must have been made by Yang for herself. She and Pei Yongping have always been reluctant to eat eggs, so they only raised two chickens at home. , only one chicken can lay an egg every day, and it is saved for Pei Xiangxiang to eat.

To be honest, Pei Xiangxiang, who is used to eating big fish and big meat, has been very uncomfortable with vegetarian dishes since she came here. In her opinion, if there is no large piece of meat, it is not called a meat dish. As for eggs, Pei Xiangxiang used to disdain Eggs are classified as meat, but now they have to be regarded as meat.

After a good meal, Pei Xiangxiang hurriedly washed the dishes and waited at home for Mrs. Yang to come back.

It is said that after Mrs. Yang rushed to Cuimiao's house at the head of the village, she saw that the ox cart had already arrived at the side of the road, and the cart was full of people. Li Laosan was sitting at the front with a whip, as if ready to set off , Yang was anxious, and even said, "Li Sange, Li Sansister, are you going to the town? My family Xiangxiang is still eating, can you wait, I will bring her here soon."

Li Sange and Li San's sister-in-law are Cuimiao's parents in Yang's mouth. Li Deqing is the third eldest in the Li family. He has two older brothers, so Nanhe Village calls him Li Sange, his wife The Wang family is called Li Sansao by the big guys, but he is well-known for his strict wife management, and Li Sansao has the final say on major and minor matters in the family.

Hearing Yang's words, Li Deqing's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't have the nerve to say hello to Yang. It wasn't that he was afraid of his wife and didn't dare to talk to other women, but that he felt that his wife had done a good job. Not authentic, Mrs. Yang said hello in advance, Mrs. Wang also agreed, but at the end of the day, someone else took the seat.

Seeing Yang's sudden appearance, Mrs. Li frowned slightly, but soon she smiled a little, and said with a shame on her face, "Oh, sister Yang, I'm really sorry, you came too late, this time I'm still here I have to send some food to my sister-in-law's house, I'm afraid I won't be able to sit down."

Mrs. Yang looked at the people on the bullock cart, and immediately understood that Mrs. Li said earlier that Shi Daniu was not among the people who took the car to the town together, and she presumably came here temporarily to take the car.

Shi Daniu is the nephew of the village chief of Nanhe Village. He is 19 years old this year. His name is Shi Mi Niu. He is the eldest at home. Everyone calls him Daniu. He saves some face.

"Sister-in-law Li San, you said earlier that Aunt Yang would take a car. I just went for a stroll in the town. Since Aunt Yang has something urgent to go to the town, I will go next time." Jumped up and down, and said to Yang, "Auntie, if you have something urgent, go to town first."

Seeing Shi Daniu getting off the bullock cart, Yang Shi and Wang Shi had different expressions, the former was a little grateful, while the latter was a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Yang was just about to thank Shi Daniu, but before she could open her mouth, Mrs. Wang said first, "Daniu, didn't you say you were going to go to the town to do errands? Anyway, you are alone, and the car is not loose now. , I’m afraid it won’t be able to seat two people, there are too many people, and the ox will have a hard time pulling it, so I’m afraid there will be an accident on the road.”

The implication of Wang's words is very obvious. Yang's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

In addition to Li Deqing, Mrs. Wang, and Shi Daniu, there was also a couple from the next village, and there were not too many people in the car. If everyone squeezed together a little, they could still sit on Mrs. Yang and Pei Xiangxiang. However, seeing that Mrs. Wang had already said that, the others couldn't open their mouths, and they all remained silent.

Mrs. Yang is not someone who can lose face. Mrs. Wang obviously wanted to curry favor with Shi Daniu and did not want to take Yang and Pei Xiangxiang with her. Mrs. Yang said quickly, "Yes, I still have to take Xiangxiang with you. Sit by yourself, it's because I'm too dawdled, wait until next time.

After Yang and Wang said this, Shi Daniu sat back in the ox cart, and the smile on Wang's face appeared again, thinking that no matter what happened to Shi Daniu, he was still the village chief's nephew , and often helped the village chief to do things, so he couldn't be offended. As for breaking Yang's promise, Wang didn't apologize in the bottom of his heart.

"Big sister, next time you ride an ox cart, just tell me, I'm really sorry this time, everyone is in a hurry, so let's go first." After Wang finished speaking, she immediately told her family The man hurried to the car.

Watching the bullock carts leave, Yang's heart was very uncomfortable, and she couldn't help thinking, if Pei Zhenglian was her father-in-law, this Wang would not treat her like this. Last month, Lin wanted to go to the town, then When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she took the initiative to ask Mrs. Lin if she wanted to take the bullock cart.

Mrs. Yang went home disconsolately all the way. Seeing her coming back, Pei Xiangxiang didn't notice the expression on her face, and even said, "Mother, I've finished my meal, shall we go there now?"

"We can only walk. The bullock cart is full and we have already left."

There was a hint of anger mixed with Yang's tone of voice, Pei Xiangxiang guessed that something must have happened just now, but she also pretended not to know, and said, "Okay, let's go slowly, and we can talk to mother It's fine to speak quietly."

Yang Shi and Pei Xiangxiang were going to pack up and go out, but before they left the house, Xu Shi came over nervously.

　I am a good boy, I have added more, please praise!
