Chapter 3 Chugo's House
Xiu Niang angrily set the bamboo pole in place, clapped her hands and wiped her back. Looking back, she saw Xiao Xiang standing in the yard, still covered in plaster. She took off the cloth scarf on her head, which the village mothers and aunts would tie on their heads when they were working. A square scarf, one is to protect the hair bun, and the other is to prevent some dust from falling.

She moved her feet and walked over, Xiaoxiang took a step back subconsciously, looked at the cloth towel in Xiuniang's hand, learned the lesson, fixed her feet and said: This hit on the body will definitely not hurt, don't run, once you catch it, the beating will be even worse pain.

The fear on that small face penetrated into Xiuniang's eyes, she grabbed both ends of the square scarf, raised and lightly brushed off the dust on Xiaoxiang's body, "Xiaoxiang, go back to the house and change your clothes later, Just wear the one your brother made for you in town."

Seeing that Xiuniang didn't beat her because of Wu's disturbance, Xiaoxiang felt surprised, and was even more surprised when she heard her words. She held back for a long time, "It's not easy to work in new clothes."

Xiuniang knew that it would not be worn until the Chinese New Year, and everyone in the family had one and treasured it. In the morning, she prepared it for the New Year and spent less money. Xiuniang smiled and showed dimples, "Then don't work. , sister-in-law."

Xiaoxiang looked at her with wide eyes in surprise. This expression was so familiar to Xiuniang. She remembered that in her previous life, once she did something wrong, her mother let her go with just one word. She was also surprised at that time. "That's it, I passed the level without being beaten", she thought that her expression must have been the same as Xiaoxiang's.

But doing this made her feel a little chilled. Xiuniang might have beaten and scolded Xiaoxiang before, and she must have been afraid of her. Forget it, let's leave it like this, it will be fine after a long time.

Seeing that Xiaoxiang didn't move, or didn't dare to move, Xiuniang didn't say much, but still smiled, "Go back to the house and change it first, it's not good to wear it if it's dirty, wait for sister-in-law to wash it." , let it dry before you put it on again."

Xiaoxiang didn't dare to say no, she timidly responded, turned around and walked towards the room that Xiuniang had mentioned, still peeping at her from time to time.

Chu Ge’s house is an earthen yard. The main room is adjacent to the east and west rooms. It is a typical farmhouse. The main room is the main room, where guests are waiting for dinner. It is the biggest one in the house, because the family of four is crowded there.

Looking at this house, it would be nice to have a shelter from the wind and rain, and take a nap at night. As the old saying goes, a dilapidated house and a rotten stove will keep the rats away, so that's about it.

Xiu Niang stood there for a while, thinking about it in her mind, seeing that the yard is still spacious, maybe she can do something in the future, as for why she said later, it was because there was a troublesome person in this family.

"Xiao Xiang, open the door, Xiao Xianger, open the door quickly."

The door began to call again, but this time it was not Wu Shi, but the troublesome person Xiu Niang mentioned, Chu Anchu Erwazi, who opposed her openly and secretly, stumbling her in everything, and staring at her everywhere.

Xiu Niang first brushed off her own clothes, just now she had just pinched Wu Shi, it was the bottom of the mattress, her body was not very dirty, she threw the lower towel and tied it on her head, then removed the bamboo pole on the door.

A thick-headed boy broke in, carrying a bamboo basket in one hand, wearing a short jacket and shorts, and seeing Xiuniang's eyeballs turn twice, as if she had been rough just now, he said, "Xiang'er Woolen cloth?"

Different from Xiaoxiang's timidity, Ren'er asked in a straightforward manner, "Boy, please be a bit rough, and Xiuniang knew his attitude very well, so she just pointed at Westinghouse.

Chu An walked up to Xiuniang in a few steps, and stretched his neck, "I beat the three eggs. It's none of Xiang'er's business that Wu Dazui came to find fault. If you want to hit me, hit me!" Anyway, sooner or later he will come back when he grows up , as long as she was still there.

Earlier, he and Xiaoxiang were picking mushrooms at the slope. Tie Dan brought a few boys over to drive them away, and pushed Xiaoxiang to the ground. Seeing that he couldn't beat them, he called Xiaoxiang to the vegetable field He planted a few plants in the garden and went home, and went to seek revenge by himself. He knew that San Dan's mother would find him, so he didn't hesitate to hide, and waited on the other side of the hillside.

It's just that he didn't expect that Wu Dazuizi would come to the house, and as soon as Heiwa told him, he rushed back, or the lazy woman would take Xiaoxiang out of her anger again.

A ten-year-old kid is quite good at protecting his younger sister, but Xiuniang takes good care of him. Such a brother and sister are the closest. She knows that Chu An doesn't fear her, and doesn't want to see her. Xiuniang doesn't need to think about it. On the other hand, he rushed to follow the cold door of Ren'er with a hot face, and walked away pretending to ignore it.

Besides, I only woke up yesterday, if my temperament changed drastically, I might have to be drugged.

There is a square wooden table in the middle of the room, which is barely a table. In Xiuniang's view, it is just a discarded table with four wooden sticks under it. If you look closely, it is a little slanted.

There was a porcelain pot on the table, Xiu Niang took down the pottery bowl and poured some water for herself to drink. After listening to the little brother and sister muttering in the courtyard, she roughly knew what Xiao Xiang said, Chu An would She also understood what to say, but she just didn't know what to say anyway.

"That lazy woman must have good intentions, she is afraid that brother will beat her up when he comes back."

"Second brother, when did brother hit sister-in-law?"

"Hmph, if she lets Wu Dazui touch you today, I'll have my brother beat him up."

"Brother won't, I don't hit people."

"Go, go, I'll tell you. Anyway, one day that slut will be beaten."

"."

"Xiaoxiang, is your rice cooked yet?"

"Well, it's warming on the stove."

"Then let's go to the entrance of the village to meet brother."

"Oh."

The two little devils ran outside after talking, and when Xiu Niang turned her head, she saw Xiao Xiang's body stretched halfway, but she still hadn't changed her clothes.

As in the past, Chu Ge would go to the town every time he hunted prey. Regardless of whether the sale was sold out, he would definitely return to the village within three days. Will run to the village to wait.

In fact, the town outside the village is not far from here, and it takes half a day to go back and forth. It's just that Chu Ge has a lot of hunting skills, and he only waits for the chefs in the big restaurants to have a free time to choose, because his prey is good. The price is also fair, so I sell more than others, and when I have leftovers, I will exchange some oil and rice and bring them back.

Forget it, when the original owner and Chu Ge had a quarrel, Chu Ge happened to be going to the town, but something happened at home, so Xiao Xiang and Chu An had to take care of it first, most of the hunting animals were dead things, if It will be ruined if you delay.

But remembering the quarrel with Chu Ge, Xiu Niang lowered her face, shook her head and stopped thinking about it, she is a little nervous now, knowing that she will see her future man, especially the gentle temper in her impression, who treats herself He is careful again, although he has something else to do with his own good, but right now, Xiu Niang is still looking forward to it.

But Chu Ge didn't expect that in just half a day, the family might be very different.
