lucky star girl

Chapter 44 Design
Since Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu went to Dong's house more than ten days ago, these days Dong Lei came to Xu's house slowly and leisurely on crutches after breakfast every morning.

In the first two days, this matter did not attract the attention of the villagers. Only when spring came, Dong Lei panicked after being raised at home for so many days.

But for several days in a row, he went out in the morning every day and came back in the afternoon, which naturally attracted the attention of the caring people in the village.

The one who paid the most attention to this matter was Dong's neighbor, Liu Er, who was sixteen years old and was eager to find someone to marry.

Although Liu'er is old enough to get married, if she stays for another year, it will be normal in the villages near Xiahe Village.

And before she fell in love with Dong Lei, it was because Dong Lei worked as a waiter in the restaurant in the town, and he was the most suitable husband-in-law for Xiahe Village and even several nearby villages.

Moreover, the Dong family is next door. If she marries into the Dong family, she will be able to take care of her natal siblings every day in the future.

Because that's what Liu'er told her parents, so although Liu'er's parents didn't say anything, they still supported her in their hearts.

But two months ago, after Dong Lei broke his leg and lost his work as a restaurant clerk, Liu'er's parents were not willing.

But in the last few days, Liu'er found out that Dong Lei went to Xu's house every day.

A few days ago, she also wanted to trick Dong Zhen with a boiled egg and tell her what Dong Lei was doing at Xu's house, but how could Dong Zhen tell her after being told.

But it was precisely because she couldn't find out that Liu'er felt that this matter must be very important.

Coupled with the fact that the Dong family has been beaming despite not saying anything recently, Liu Er is sure that there must be a happy event in the Dong family, and it is also a happy event related to Dong Lei.

Liu Er pondered at home alone for several days. According to the fact that Dong Lei went to Xu's house every day and taught Dong Miao and Dong Zhen how to count in the courtyard after returning, it was deduced that Dong Shu might have asked her family's husband The cousin Dong Lei was promoted.

Liu Er's inference is based on Dong Lei's kindness to Dong Shu before, and Dong Shu's previous attitude towards Dong's family.

I have to say that Liu'er is quite smart, but her mind is not right.

After inferring this possibility, Liu'er wanted to work hard for herself again.

Dong Lei's appearance is good, and now he may have a job that the villagers envy, Liu'er is naturally reluctant to give up.

Dong Lei didn't know that Liu'er was thinking about him again. Recently, he followed Xu Shiqiu to learn how to read and calculate accounts at Xu's house every day. Because he ate at Shi Huanyuan at noon every day, after so many days, he found that Not only did he improve mentally, but he also became stronger physically.

Dong Lei's changes are naturally noticed by those who are interested.

It is precisely because of the obvious changes in Dong Lei that Dai has been able to endure until now.

But as there are more and more discussions about Dong Lei in the village, it must not be kept secret for a long time.

On this day, Dong Lei still walked slowly to Xu's house on crutches after breakfast as usual, but just after he walked out of the house, he met his mother's cousin, Xiao Dai.

Seeing Xiao Dai, Dong Lei was taken aback immediately, and then he quickly realized that this aunt was probably here specially waiting for him.

Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Dai and said hello calmly: "Auntie is here to look for my mother? My mother went to the field with my father early in the morning, and only Miaoer will be here at home."

Dong Lei saw that Xiao Dai's voice had just finished, and he specially chose Xiao Dai who was not at home with Dong's parents, and immediately smirked: "I came here specifically to find you, my nephew." After saying this, Xiao Dai also Before Dong Lei could speak, he continued: "Lei'er, my aunt asked you something. You go to Xu's house every day. Your cousin asked you to go? I think you have gained weight these days. What is she doing?" Food for you?"

Listening to Xiao Dai's joking tone of asking these questions, Dong Lei first looked at Xiao Dai and smiled, then nodded to her, and said softly: " Um."

Seeing that Dong Lei had no intention of continuing to speak after just saying 'hmm', the expression on Xiao Dai's face froze immediately, and she was just about to continue to ask, when a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.

"Cousin, are you here to look for me?" Dai looked pantingly at the little Dai who had just finished speaking, and then looked directly at Dong Lei and said, "Lei'er, hurry up and get busy with your business. mother."

Dai came back in a hurry when he heard that Dong Miao had reported that he had sneaked out from the vegetable garden in his backyard.

Dong Miao was preparing to go out to wash clothes when Dong Lei just went out, but she saw her aunt standing furtively in the distance.

She didn't go out through the main entrance, but climbed over the fence from the vegetable field in the backyard, and ran all the way to her own field.

As soon as Dai Shi heard that Xiao Dai was in front of her house, she guessed that she wanted to use her status as an elder to find out what Dong Lei was doing.

If it was before, Dai would have to show off with little Dai, but since Dong Lei made a special confession, after seeing his son grow flesh these few days, he made up his mind to keep it a secret.

Although Dai Shi loves to calculate and favors sons over daughters, he still values ​​Dong Lei, the eldest son, very much.

Dong Lei also understood his mother's fighting power, so after his mother finished speaking, he nodded to his mother, and then said: "Then I'll go first, mother, you can go home later and drink some water before going home." Go to the field. Your body is important, don't get tired."

After Dong Lei said this to Dai Shi with concern, Dai Shi immediately smiled with joy.

Dai's concern for Dong Lei is very beneficial, and she will also think that if the eldest son becomes a steward in the future, she will be full of fighting spirit.

Dong Lei watched helplessly as his mother turned from exhausted to full of fighting spirit, and then left with peace of mind, walking towards Xu's house.

Seeing Dong Lei leaving just like that, Xiao Dai was naturally unwilling to reach out to stop him, but now Dai's heart is only thinking about his own good life after his son becomes a manager, so how could Xiao Dai be allowed to destroy it.

Seeing that Xiao Dai was about to reach out to stop Dong Lei, Dai immediately reached out to stop her arm, and then half-dragged her and led her to his yard.

While taking it back, he said: "It happens that you haven't come for a long time, come in and we two sisters have a chat."

Dai's body is a bit thicker than the younger Dai's, and his strength is also stronger than the younger Dai's.Now she was motivated again, and naturally pulled Xiao Dai away smoothly.

Although Dai Shi appeared in time, Dong Lei didn't stay at the gate of the house for long, but in order to avoid other people in the village, Dong Lei arrived at Shihuanyuan today much later than usual.

Seeing Dong Lei appear, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Dong Shu didn't wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak, she looked at Dong Lei first and said, "Did my cousin miss something today?" As she spoke, Dong Shu went directly to the table and picked up the kettle to pour Dong Lei a cup of warm water.

Dong Shu watched as Dong Lei had just finished asking this question, when Xu Shiqiu noticed that Dong Lei's forehead was actually sweating.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shiqiu was slightly taken aback, and then roughly guessed the reason.

He chuckled and shook his head, then looked at Cuihua standing at the door, asked Cuihua to bring clean water to wipe Dong Lei's face, then looked at Dong Lei and said, "Did you get stopped on the way?"

After Dong Lei sat down, took a breath and drank a cup of warm water, he looked at Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu with strength and said, "When I went out today, I was stopped by my aunt." After saying this, Dong Lei raised his hand to I poured myself a cup of warm water, and then I continued slowly: "Later, I met a lot of people from the village along the way. In order to avoid them, I took some detours."

If his leg hadn't been broken, Dong Lei wouldn't be so tired at all.

But now his legs are still not good, and he is really tired after walking all the way while leaning on a cane.

When Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu heard Dong Lei's words, they immediately looked at each other, and then Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Sure enough, my husband has agreed on this matter."

Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking, then Xu Shiqiu smiled at her and shook his head, "It's not unusual to guess, my cousin comes to us every day, after so many days, it will definitely attract the attention of others."

On the first day Dong Lei came here, he told Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu what he wanted to hide in advance.

Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had no objection to this matter. Since Dong Lei wanted to keep it a secret, they did not take the initiative to publicize it.

But in private, the two of them still discussed the matter, feeling that they couldn't keep it secret for long.

Although Dong Lei didn't know that Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had discussed this matter in private, but now hearing what they said, he could guess that they were not optimistic that he could keep this matter a secret.

Thinking of this, Dong Lei looked up at the two of them and said, "Just try to keep it a secret. If the day comes when I can't hide it, I'll tell you."

Xu Shiqiu didn't understand why Dong Lei wanted to hide it, but Dong Shu guessed it more or less.

When she heard what her cousin said, Dong Shu nodded directly, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Master, it's getting late today, so hurry up and check what we learned yesterday, and then I'll cook earlier, and let my cousin do it today." Go back earlier."

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Dong Lei didn't realize what she meant, until Xu Shiqiu smiled and shook his head at Dong Shu, saying that she had a "good idea". Avoid those people in the village.

Dong Lei naturally readily accepted Dong Shu's proposal.

But Dong Lei didn't know that he could avoid many people in the village, but he couldn't avoid his neighbor, Liu'er.

Today, Dong Lei didn't stay at Shi Huanyuan for a long time. After lunch, he learned a few words and went home with a bowl of braised pork that he didn't finish at noon.

On the way back, Dong Lei still thought that his mother would be happy to bring the meat back today.

It happened that after studying for so many days, he still had time this afternoon, so he would review it at home and prepare to teach his younger siblings.

As soon as Dong Lei left, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu packed up their things and prepared to go to the main courtyard to see Xu Yanzhu, and then they happened to stay in the main courtyard to have dinner with Mrs. Xu and Xu Yanzhu.

It's just that not long after they arrived at the main courtyard, Dong Zhen ran to the side door of Xu's house in a panic and brought a piece of news that shocked Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu.

"You said my cousin was caught flirting with Liu'er?"
