Peasant woman

Chapter 53

Xiao Tong took the silver money, just nodded at Fu Gui and Xu Cao, said thank you, and left with Niu Shi.

Fugui turned around and took Xu Cao's hand, and said with a smile, "The third younger brother told me in the house just now how many taels of silver he still had, and wanted to ask me to borrow five taels of silver to build a house and move out, and he said yes." After working hard for a few years, he will definitely return the money to us."

"It's okay, but it's hard for the third brother. Mother did a little too much." Xu Cao thought about the still-unknown old father Yang, and said worriedly: "I heard from the third brother that my father went to the town, and now I'm living It’s been a day and a night, and I don’t know what to do. This is what to do.”

Fu Gui also frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Father still has one or two friends in the town. They must be staying there. I'll ask when I go to the town to sell prey tomorrow. It's too late now." It's getting late, let's go to bed earlier."

The two of them didn't expect something to happen in the middle of the night.

While sleeping deeply, there was a loud knock on the door outside, and Xiao Bai also barked loudly.Awakened Fugui and Xu Cao from their sleep.

The two hurriedly went to open the gate of the courtyard, and through the bright moonlight outside, they saw a person standing at the gate of the courtyard, and it seemed that there was another person behind his back.Seeing the courtyard door open, the standing man panted, "Fugui, hurry up... quickly, your father... your father fell!"

The voice belonged to Uncle Dezi in the village.

Fugui and Xu Cao were shocked, and after looking back, they realized that the person behind Uncle Dezi's back was Father Yang, who seemed to be reeking of alcohol.

Fugui hurriedly followed Uncle Dezi to carry Father Yang into the room, and found that Father Yang's face was pale, his hands and face were scratched, and his body was covered with mud.

"Uncle Dezi, what's going on?"

Uncle Dezi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I'm a bit late in the town today, but when I came back from the road, I heard your father's voice in the ditch beside the road, and I was scared I jumped and smelled the alcohol all over my body. I think I fell into the ditch after drinking too much. Your father kept yelling about that dead old woman. To send your father back, I had to send it to you. Fugui, hurry up and find a car, and take your father to the town to have a look, I guess he has broken his leg. "

Fugui frowned upon hearing this.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter?" Xiaoguang and Xiaoxia's voices sounded from outside.

Xu Cao turned her head to look, and saw that Xiao Guang and Xiao Xia had come out fully dressed, her face was full of panic, and she was startled when she saw Father Yang on the kang, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, Father Yang, are you okay? "

"It's okay, you go to rest first, and I and your eldest brother will send Dad to the town to have a look later."

Afterwards, Fu Gui thanked Uncle De Zi, found a cart and took Old Man Yang to the town.

Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight, so we can see it clearly from the road. It is already Haishi (9pm), and it is already midnight when Xu Cao and Fugui take Father Yang to the town.I found a pharmacy and knocked on the door. Fortunately, the doctor was sleeping in the pharmacy, and hurriedly checked Old Yang's injuries.

Fortunately, there is nothing serious, just a broken bone, the doctor helped to straighten the bone, smeared herbs and found a board to fix it, and then said: "There is nothing serious, but I have to rest on the bed for a while, the injured menstrual bone One hundred days, don’t go to the ground during this period, just change the medicine every few days.”

Fugui hurriedly thanked him, and the doctor said again: "Don't drink too much, you have to be more careful."

The two were very grateful, and paid the consultation fee and medicine fee, and then pulled Old Man Yang back.On the way, Old Man Yang didn't wake up in a daze.

When Father Yang woke up the next day and knew that he had drunk too much and fell, and was sent to the old family again, don't mention how embarrassing he was.He kept a straight face and said nothing.

Xu Cao boiled thin porridge, patted a courgette, and fried a small cabbage, and then brought the food to Father Yang's bed, "Father, it's time to eat."

Seeing his daughter-in-law, Father Yang couldn't hold his face anymore, and said awkwardly: "Master, I'm sorry...you."

"Father, it's okay. You can eat quickly. Fugui and I will find the second and third younger brothers to come and see you later. During this period of time, you can rest here with us."

Thinking of the annoying old woman at home, Old Man Yang hesitated for a while and then nodded.

Then Fu Gui came in and had a conversation with Father Yang, and Xu Cao didn't know what was going on until he came out.Father Yang was annoyed by Chen and went to stay at a friend's house in the town for one night, and he was too embarrassed to stay the next night, and he was in a bad mood, so he wandered around alone. Come back, no, something went wrong.

After breakfast, Fugui went to find Yang Dapeng and Yang Xiaotong, and told them about Yang's broken leg. The two hurried over, followed by Shen Shi and Niu Shi.

When Father Yang saw his two sons, he was bored and did not speak.

Knowing that Father Yang wanted to live here, the two sons also agreed. After all, mother is really difficult to get along with, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law are good people, and they can rest assured that they will take care of them.

Mrs. Chen also came here in the end, and Father Yang's face turned dark when he saw it, and he yelled at her: "What are you doing here, do you want to see if I'm dead? If it weren't for you, would you be in this state? "

After being yelled at by Father Yang, Mrs. Chen couldn't hold back, "Why are you yelling? It's none of my business? It's not that you drink all day, is something wrong now?"

Father Yang was very angry, and he didn't want to mention Xiao Osmanthus in front of Fu Gui and Xu Cao, so he had to wave his hand to tell Chen to get out, "I'll be staying at the old man for a while, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

Upon hearing that Old Man Yang was going to live here, Chen's eyes lit up, and his eyeballs rolled around. Looking at this bright and big house, he had an idea in his heart.As soon as Father Yang saw her, he knew what she was up to, and said angrily: "Put away your little thoughts, I live here to recuperate, if you dare to come here to live, I will immediately Let Dapeng and Xiaotong carry me back. You don't feel ashamed and panic, and you don't think about how you treated the boss, you are ashamed to have such thoughts!"

"Why can't I have this idea? Although my mother is a rich stepmother, but she raised him with feces and piss from a young age. Is it possible that he can still deny his mother?"

Father Yang was anxious, pointed at Chen Shi tremblingly and said, "If you dare to come and live here, you can try it!"

Mrs. Chen was frightened by the appearance of Father Yang, "You...you old man, if you don't come, you won't come, why are you in a hurry!"

The few brothers who had been listening outside were afraid that Mrs. Chen would make her father angry again, so they rushed into the house to persuade Mrs. Chen to leave.

Seeing Mrs. Chen who ran out angrily, Xu Cao's head was about to grow big, and he didn't understand why this mother-in-law got involved.

Xiaoxia and Xiaoguang hastily went out to cut pigweed after being made such a fuss by Mrs. Chen. Fugui didn't go to the town this time. He originally planned to take a hunted roe deer to the town to sell, but now Father Yang is injured. Naturally, I cleaned up to make up for Old Man Yang.

Seeing that Dapeng and Xiaotong were both there, Old Man Yang told them about the division of the family. The family was nothing more than a few acres of land, and since Xiaotong was going to move out again, the house didn't need to be divided, just divided by one person. Several acres of fields.Father Yang asked Xiaotong to build the house quickly, and then give him the land deed.

Only then did Xiao Tong take Niu Shi there, busy with building a house.

Fugui told Dapeng to bring Mrs. Shen and Brother Jun over for dinner at night, and Dapeng left.

Fugui was busy hunting in the mountains, leaving only Xu Cao and Miao Miao at home.

Xu Cao moved the roe deer hunted yesterday to the well and started to deal with it.Seeing that her mother was busy, Miao Miao also knew that her grandfather was lying on the bed and couldn't move, so she poured a glass of water and brought it in, staggered to Old Father Yang, and said in a childish voice, "Grandfather, drink water, okay?" Be quick."

Papa Yang looked down at his already pink and chubby granddaughter, feeling sore in his heart.At that time, Xu Cao hadn't entered the house yet, and Mrs. Chen treated Miao Miao very badly. Although Father Yang knew it, he only said a few words about Mrs. Chen. If it wasn't because Xu Cao had entered the house, the child would not know what he was like now.It wasn't until the incident with Xiao Osmanthus two days ago that Father Yang regretted it, knowing that he had neglected his two granddaughters too much. Now that he saw such a sensible granddaughter, he felt even more sad, and decided to treat her well. Treat the Chen family.

Miao Miao is obedient and sensible. Sitting on the sidelines, she looked at Old Man Yang happily. Seeing him drinking water, she quickly jumped off the stool and ran to Old Man Yang, "Grandfather, are you still thirsty, Miao Miao?" Miao will pour you some more."

Father Yang put the empty bowl in his hand aside, and said with a smile: "Thank you Miaomiao, I won't drink anymore, can you go out and help mother?"

Miao Miao nodded obediently, and went out with an empty bowl. When she went out, she also asked Old Man Yang to have a good rest.

After Miao Miao went out, she squatted obediently beside Xu Cao to watch her handle the roe deer. After the roe deer was dealt with, Xu Cao told Miao Miao to stay at home obediently. She went out to change two fish and came back to make soup for lunch.

"Mother, don't worry, go, are you going to brother Shitou's house?"

Xu Cao smiled and said, "That's right, I just went to your brother Shitou's house to exchange fish."

After explaining a few words to Miao Miao, Xu Cao went to Shitou's house. Shitou was not there, only his mother was at home.

"Shitou's mother, I'll trade some fish with you, I know you guys are good at fishing." In the village is Shitou's father, Feng Dahu, who is good at fishing.

His mother Shitou didn't want Xu Cao's roe deer meat, and she finally accepted it after talking for a long time, and gave Xu Cao two more fish.
