Chapter 202 Eucommia's Lucky Love
Cheng Xia turned her head slightly, and saw Mrs. Zhang and Dahua entering the door together. Cheng Xia was taken aback, tears rolled down her eyes. She stood up, and Mrs. Zhang hurried to the bed to support her Sitting up, "Don't get up, don't get up, hey, mother knows what happened."

Da Hua sat on a stool beside her, wiping her tears, "Mother heard that my second aunt had mentioned this, so she hurried over to see you. Mother said you must be sad."

Cheng Xia's grievances came to her heart in an instant, she threw herself into Zhang's arms and began to sob softly, Xiaolong was still asleep, she couldn't wake the child up.

Mrs. Zhang patted Cheng Xia's back distressedly, and the corners of her eyes were moist, "Hey, why is Lin Xiu so pitiful? Your mother-in-law can't figure it out. I heard Mrs. Li say in the village that in the morning, the casino's When those people came to Yang's house to arrest people, your mother-in-law was alone at home, so it should have been delayed for a while, and Lin Xiu should not have been lured out directly."

Cheng Xia trembled, looked up at Mrs. Zhang, "What's next?"

"I heard from Mrs. Li that it seems that your mother-in-law asked those people to wait at Yang's house. She came to you to find Lin Xiu by herself. She didn't know what to say, so she brought Lin Xiu down the mountain to Yang's house. Those people They took Lin Xiu away directly. It is said that Xiaolong was crying so loudly at that time. When Mrs. Li heard it, she went out to watch, and watched your mother-in-law bring Xiaolong back into the house and closed the door from the inside. Hey, she might be Those people will go to Erlang, so they must be afraid."

Cheng Xia closed her eyes tightly, she couldn't imagine how hoarse and helpless Lin Xiu was when he was taken away by those people in Yang's house.However, Cheng Xia still has one more thing to figure out, why did he take him away ahead of time after making an appointment for ten days?Is it a temporary idea, but she doesn't believe it.

Mrs. Zhang stroked Cheng Xia's hair, and brought a basket of peanuts from Dahua's side, "The fresh ones from the ground are very fresh, so I brought them here for you. You can make them for your child's health. Xiaolong must be heartbroken too."

Mrs. Zhang looked at Xiaolong who was asleep against the wall, and said with some distress.

"I see, thank you mother." Cheng Xia said gratefully, being able to come and see her at this time, Cheng Xia is already content.

Mrs. Zhang stroked Cheng Xia's hand and patted it carefully, "Come over to have dinner at noon tomorrow. Your father said that our family hasn't had dinner together for a long time. He asked you to take Dalang with you. You will bring Xiaolong together." Just take it with you." After Zhang finished speaking, she was afraid that Cheng Xia wouldn't like it, so she added a few more words, "Your grandma has calmed down a bit now, and with your mother here, you won't be wronged if you go to her mother. "

Cheng Xia forced a smile to respond, just in time to take Xiaolong out to get some air, he had a good time playing with his younger brother last time, and he can also take this opportunity to let his younger brother spend more time with Xiaolong, "Okay, I'll go there when the time comes."

After Cheng Xia finished speaking, she remembered one more thing, and after thinking about it, she asked, "Mother, Liu Wen married a wife again, and she married the widow Zhao Rou."

Mrs. Zhang clenched her hands suddenly, and she nodded after a long time, "I heard from people in the village that your elder sister doesn't know about it. If she knows, she'll be in trouble again."

"But how long can we keep it a secret?" Cheng Xia and Cheng Shang didn't see eye to eye with each other, and according to Cheng Shang's temperament, Cheng Xia didn't have any kindness towards her. I didn't think much about it.

After sending off Mrs. Zhang and Cuihua, Cheng Xia lay on the bed and couldn't sleep.His eyes stared blankly at the spire above his head, but he couldn't think of anything in his mind.

Yang Dalang brought a bowl of sugar water for Cheng Xia to drink, and then went to bed.He gently lifted off the clothes on her shoulders, carefully applied the ointment on it, and then covered her calves with a layer of cool ointment, and then he felt a little relieved, hugged her in his arms and patted her gently.

"Go to sleep, wake up and tomorrow will be a new day."

Yang Dalang's voice seemed to be bewitching, and Cheng Xia slowly fell asleep in his arms.

When Cheng Xia woke up the next day, Xiaolong had already opened his eyes and stared at her blankly, and Cheng Xia stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms.Feeling Yang Dalang's steady breathing behind her, Cheng Xia felt satisfied for a while, if he could keep doing this, that would be fine.

Yang Dalang got up to make breakfast, Cheng Xia took Xiaolong's hand and asked her what she was thinking, Xiaolong puffed up and said he missed his mother, Cheng Xia felt sore, hugged him tighter, and said softly, "One Mrs. Hui will take you to see Uncle Duzhong in Huangdun Village, okay?"

She had to find a way to distract Xiaolong's attention, and let more other things distract Xiaolong's energy. Although she didn't know how effective it would be, she wanted to try.

Du Zhong helped her drive away the dog official yesterday, and Cheng Xia should go to express his gratitude.She also figured it out later, she really couldn't kill the dog official blatantly, otherwise she would really cause lawsuits and disputes for herself as Yang Dalang said.That dog official is an official of the imperial court. If something happens, the higher-ups will send someone to investigate, and she cannot escape responsibility.And she didn't need to bet her whole life on the dog official's life. Fortunately, Yang Dalang called Du Zhong in time, so that everything could end properly.Besides, Eucommia is now infected with the cold, so she should go and see him no matter what the situation is.

Talked to Yang Dalang, he naturally agreed, and smiled at her admiringly, as if thanking her for remembering Eucommia under such circumstances.

The carriage was driven back to Huangdun Village by Eucommia yesterday, and they could only walk there.Yang Dalang held Xiaolong in his arms, while Cheng Xia carried the peanuts sent by Mrs. Zhang yesterday.She really didn't know what to bring there, but she couldn't bring it empty-handed, so she could only bring fresh peanuts, so that Du Zhong could try something new.

She has been to Huangdun Village several times, but this is the first time she has been to Eucommia's home.Cheng Xia knew that Eucommia was the only son of Du Zhiqian, Minister of the Household Department of the capital, and also knew that he came to this small place in Chong'an County only for Yang Dalang, so he didn't show the slightest surprise when he saw Du Zhongkuan's residence.

This buddy is rich, so he can naturally live a more comfortable life.It is probably because Du Zhong looks rich and good-looking that the second aunt wants her daughter to marry Du Zhong.

The door was open, and when Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang entered, they heard Eucommia's coughing and a series of rejections from him in a hurry.Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang looked at each other, thinking that Eucommia still has guests here.

Xiaolong saw that Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang stepped lightly in tacit understanding, and approached the main house on tiptoe, immediately covered his small mouth with both hands cautiously, held his breath, and dared not take a breath, for fear of disturbing his voice people inside.

Walking to the door of the room, Cheng Xia saw through the window that there were two people standing beside the bed with their backs to them, serving Eucommia tea and water very attentively, and taking great care of them.

Cheng Xia seemed to be smiling a little, Eucommia really has a lot of luck, and he can get some confidante wherever he goes.

Just as Yang Dalang was about to knock on the door, he heard a flattering and caring voice from inside, "Du Zhong, look at you and see that you are sick and there is no one around, so just listen to my aunt's persuasion and ask for a daughter-in-law to take care of you. Better than you being alone."

Cheng Xia grinned suddenly, the voice sounded like the second aunt's, and it sounded very contrary to her usual loud voice deliberately lowered.

Yang Dalang paused when he knocked on the door, and the second aunt's voice came from inside again, "Du Zhong, what do you think of her, I am not my daughter, she is really first-class gentle and virtuous, I promise to take you Well taken care of."

"Cough, cough, cough," Du Zhong coughed loudly from inside, Yang Dalang pushed the door open and walked in without hesitation.The second aunt who was talking was taken aback for a moment, and when she saw Yang Dalang and Cheng Xia coming in, her expression froze. She curled her lips impatiently, gave Cheng Xia a hard look, then turned around and took her daughter who had been drooping and silent, away. .

Cheng Xia shrugged, she was not a scourge, so why did she have such a big reaction.Besides, it was not me who disturbed her good deeds, even if she stared at Yang Dalang, she should have stared at Yang Dalang, for no reason.

Seeing the savior, Du Zhong hurriedly beckoned Yang Dalang to the bedside, and began to complain like a bean, "You don't know, they really annoy me to death. Fortunately, you are here."

"It's fine if you don't open the door for her," Cheng Xia said angrily.

Du Zhong suddenly said with a bitter face, "You think I want to open the door. Your second aunt knocked on the door, and the neighbors next door came to watch. If I don't open the door, they might think that I will die inside and I will hit the door."

Xiaolong chuckled, struggled to crawl from Yang Dalang's arms to Du Zhong's side, and gently stroked his chest, "Uncle won't cough like this."

Cheng Xia smiled gratifiedly, seeing Eucommia coughing non-stop, she couldn't help asking, "Did you take any medicine?"

Du Zhong pointed to the concoction on the table, "I boiled it myself, but it's too bitter, I don't want to drink it."

Cheng Xia pursed her lips and looked around, "Do you have rock candy and pears at home?"

"Bingtang is available. As for the pears, oh yes, your second aunt just brought some over." Du Zhong hurriedly pointed to the things on the ground by the door.

Cheng Xia laughed and walked over to pick two big ones, and shook them at Du Zhong, "If you want me to tell you, my second aunt can treat you so well, and she really likes you, or you can just follow suit." After finishing speaking, instead of looking at his suddenly ferocious face, he turned around and went to the kitchen to make rock sugar pears for him to moisten his throat.

The weather has changed suddenly, and it is really easy to catch a cold.Cheng Xia went back and took two pears, and planned to make one for Xiaolong and Yang Dalang, anyway, there was no harm.

The pears were changed to flower knives to remove the pits and dig out the pulp, and then put rock sugar in the pears. It happened that Eucommia had medlars in the house, so Cheng Xia put them in together, put the two pears back together, and steamed them in a pot. Half an hour will be fine.

Cheng Xia brought over four stewed pears, and Du Zhong directly grabbed them and ate them with great joy.

Du Zhong wanted Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang to cook for him at noon, but Cheng Xia agreed to Zhang's return to Cheng Xia, so he could only leave.

All the way out of Huangdun Village, back to Qingxian Village, and went directly to Cheng's house in Dongtou. As soon as he reached the door, Cheng Xia saw two figures in the distance walking quickly towards the depths of the bamboo forest. But it disappeared in an instant.

"What's the matter?" Yang Dalang couldn't help asking seeing her dazed.

Cheng Xia regained consciousness, thought for a while before saying, "The two figures just now, I don't know the men, but the women are Cheng Shang."
