Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 47 The Sick Boy

A day later, she went to look for Mrs. Qin, and brought dozens of cloth flowers with her. When Du Xiaoyu asked about the hired workers, Mrs. Qin answered seriously. In her eyes, Mrs. Du was no ordinary little Girl, the so-called sympathy, the Qin family has been figuring out how to make money since he was a child, so he has a special view on this girl.

In fact, there were workers in the hired labor village, and Mrs. Qin knew no less than ten of them. When the situation was urgent, Du Xiaoyu told her everything.

Although this person is too shrewd, Gu Xiao's family is human nature. If it were not so, the Qin family would not be able to open a shop. Who made Pang Yong a stubborn person who likes to help others? Without Qin's control, the family The situation is probably not much different from that of Du Xiaoyu's family. On the other hand, Du Xiaoyu appreciates the fact that the Qin family enjoys life. It's not that she taught the villagers how to hit the horse crane.

Sure enough, Mrs. Qin agreed very much after hearing this, and began to speak ill of Mrs. Zhao, "Your mother is too old-fashioned. What's wrong with learning Suzhou embroidery? What are you afraid of after three years? Your sister will not be able to do it by then, and she has skills in her hands. There will be a lot of money in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a man!"

Du Xiaoyu laughed straight, "But my mother doesn't think so. Anyway, I have to find a suitable hired worker, and the price is not expensive. Maybe my mother will agree."

"Wrap this on me." Mrs. Qin patted her chest to promise, then looked at Du Xiaoyu and smiled, "Your sister will get some embroidery pieces and sell them in my shop after she finishes her studies!"

This person really doesn't miss any chance!
However, Du Xiaoyu of course agreed, "It would be great if the shop opened in the county, auntie. If it is as big as Baixiufang, how can my sister refuse, auntie, please work hard!"

Qin's eyes narrowed, "Three years may not be impossible, you girl just wait for me." She also has great ambitions!

Du Xiaoyu smiled and said goodbye.

As soon as he got home, he saw Du Xian shoveling cow dung. Now that there is a cow at home, he eats a lot every day and pulls out a lot. Du Xiaoyu only thought that he was going to use it as fertilizer, but he just walked into the kitchen. Just watch Du Xian walking over with a lump of cow dung in his hand.

"Father, you, what are you going to do?" Du Xiaoyu stuttered, what are you doing with this shit at home!

Du Xian looked at her, "You baby, cow dung is a good thing. It's good to burn in the sun. It's better than firewood. Look, it doesn't stink at all!" He said and put cow dung on her nose Put it below.

Du Xiaoyu quickly turned her head, "If it doesn't stink, it doesn't stink, you, you light the fire, I'm leaving."

She walked a few steps and looked back at Du Xian, he really started a fire with cow dung, she couldn't help but sigh, did this father really come from a landlord's family?Can't see any shadow at all!Unlike a few uncles who are all idlers, at least they don't look like poor peasants. Could it be that his father used to farm the land with his own hands when he was a landlord?She wondered if Du Xian didn't love his mother or father since he was a child, so he didn't have any prestige in front of his younger brothers?

But the answer is estimated to be difficult to know, she shook her head and walked out the door.

After a few days, it was the fifth day of the new year. Seeing that the weather was fine, Du Xiaoyu led the calf to the foot of the mountain. It was already early spring, but the weather was still very cold. , Du Xiaoyu was dazed by the side. The wild rabbits at home had grown up a bit, but they looked a little strange in size. She wondered if she should ask someone.After all, wild rabbits have never been raised, maybe some special method is needed?

After basking in the sun for a while, she led the cow back again.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see white lotus flowers.

"Just here?" Du Xiaoyu asked, took the cow to the cowshed, and put some grass for it to eat, it's no wonder that the grass roots were full just now.

Bai Lianhua nodded, fixed her eyes on the cows, and said, "I have two big cows at home."

Well, I know your family is rich, okay, Du Xiaoyu is speechless, this child probably really can't speak.

"Your mother said that your second brother is going to study, so let me wait for you here." Bai Lianhua was a little bored, so she pulled out a piece of grass and shook it.

Du Xiaoyu twitched the corner of her mouth, her feelings were urged by Cui Shi to harass Du Wenyuan, but her mother pushed her on her, she scratched her head, "What are you looking for? I'm busy, why don't you go back All right."

"No, my mother said that if she doesn't see your second brother, she has to invite you and Sister Huang Hua back to our house to play. Didn't she say that she would teach me how to embroider?" Bai Lianhua stood up after speaking.

"What if we don't go?" Du Xiaoyu was a little amused. Does Cui know her daughter's temperament?
Bai Lianhua tilted her head and thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "If you don't go, my mother said she would come to invite her in person, anyway, I have to go once."

It seemed that whatever method was used last time, Du Xiaoyu decided to listen to her mother's opinion, so she went into the room and said to Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, sister Lianhua invited me to play with elder sister."

Mrs. Zhao had stopped it once just now, but this time it would be unjustifiable not to show face again, after all, the two families have also had dinner, and the exchanges between the daughters are nothing, so she agreed, and only told, "Go, come back early. "

Unexpectedly, Bai Lianhua interjected at this time, "You can have dinner at our house, my mother has prepared a lot of delicious dishes."

Well, it's time to go to the theater, Du Xiaoyu thought, why not do it when there is good food, anyway, what else can she pry out as a child, Cui?Besides, even if Du Huanghua is the eldest sister, she can't promise anything on behalf of her parents.

After Du Huanghua finished the work at hand, the three of them went to Bai's house.

The Bai family is in the east of the village, a bit far away, and it took about two quarters of an hour to arrive.

When Cui saw that Bai Lianhua brought the sisters from the Du family, she felt a little unhappy, because it meant that Bai Lianhua did not see Du Wenyuan, but she taught her many ways, this girl is just stupid!On the one hand, she was annoyed at Mrs. Zhao for protecting her son so tightly that she didn't even pass the exam as a scholar, so she was afraid that someone would snatch her away!If she doesn't pass the exam, will she still be cocky?No matter what they say about Lianhua, they have to feel the appearance, and it is not difficult to find a decent one, but their face naturally does not show, and they smiled and said, "Oh, the yellow flower and the little fish are here," and gave another white look. Lianhua, "You kid didn't say earlier that you would invite someone to come back to play, so that I can get ready."

Du Xiaoyu really wanted to laugh, and said with restraint, "Sister Lianhua is so enthusiastic, she insisted on us coming to play, she said that she has never been to your house, so she just came to have a look."

"This child, what's so interesting about our house? It's true that you, Sister Huang Hua, teach you needlework." Cui smiled, and pushed the white lotus, "Why don't you bring it into the house, what are you doing?"

"Oh, Sister Huanghua, Sister Xiaoyu, come in and sit down." Bai Lianhua led the way.

Although the Bai family is not a landlord's house, it is still a bit rich in terms of the strength and scope of the house, and the house is also clean. There is a picture of a tiger descending the mountain in the middle of the main room, a long table below, and two big chairs on each side , and in the middle is an Eight Immortals table plus four stools, with some cabinets and wooden boxes on both sides.

"Auntie, where's Uncle Bai?" Du Xiaoyu asked.

"Going out to fish." Cui replied.

There is a big river at the head of the village, and there are some fish in it. Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but think of the small lake in front of the door. Because it is too small, it turns into a pool of water in summer, and it freezes again in winter, and I have never seen a fish shadow.She can't do the technical work of fishing, mainly because she is impatient. Every time she sees others squatting there motionless, she feels admiration, but she is too lazy and ends up with no fish to eat.

But luckily she didn't like to eat it either, because she was too lazy to spit out the thorns.

"Sister, do you like to eat fish?" She asked suddenly.

Du Huanghua shook her head, Du Xiaoyu realized that there were genetic factors, no wonder she didn't even have the idea of ​​eating fish now.

"Come, drink tea." Cui brought the tea at this time, and said, "Lotus, I will let your sister Huang Hua teach you by the way, so as not to sit still all day long. Embroider two pillow flowers for me. OK."

Bai Lianhua nodded seriously, "Okay."

Cui said to Du Huanghua, "Huanghua, don't think she is stupid, it doesn't matter if she teaches slowly, and I will have dinner here at night."

It seems that there is no arrangement for her, Du Xiaoyu looked at Cui Shi, "Auntie, what should I do?"

Cui's face froze, and she smiled awkwardly, "You, you can also learn from your sister, right, why don't you play around, our family has a cow and a dog."

Feelings let her play with cows and dogs?Du Xiaoyu stopped talking.

After drinking tea, Bai Lianhua led Du Huanghua into the house. Du Xiaoyu was walking around in boredom, and suddenly remembered that there was another person in their family, Bai Lianhua and her brother Bai Yushi!
She had never seen this man before, only heard that she was in poor health since she was a child and had been lying in bed all year round, but she was rumored to be a talented young man, so at that time she listed Bai Yushi as a candidate for Du Huanghua's husband-in-law one.However, the body is the capital of the revolution, and no other can replace it. In the end, this person was excluded. Similarly, Pang Yong's son was excluded because of his stoutness, and the Lu family's son was excluded because he was short.

But now that she came here, she was inevitably curious, so she searched room by room.

That is to say, relying on being a child, if you are a girl of thirteen or fourteen, it is absolutely impossible.

When she reached the second room on the east side, she stopped.

There was someone in the room, she stood on tiptoe and looked in, and saw a boy sitting on the kang, his hair was not tied up, it was all draped behind him, like a piece of black silk satin, but his face was pale, and his black hair Against the background, it looks even more like snow.His appearance is not good-looking, but it makes people feel indescribable, maybe because of his gray eyes, maybe because of his thin shoulders, or maybe because of his slender fingers holding the book.

Du Xiaoyu looked at it for a while, and in the end, everything might just condense into a sigh.

Sometimes the reality is very cruel, and she suddenly felt a little pity for Cui Shi. Having such a son inevitably hurts more than ordinary people. Because of this, she especially wants her daughter to marry well, right?

She walked away quietly and went to play with the dog.

Unexpectedly, Cui's dog is really good. It is tall and has long legs, which looks a bit like a black back. It is definitely a good watchdog.She was a little moved, thinking that there is a cow at home now, but in fact it is necessary to have a dog. There are many thieves these days, and one day she might encounter someone who steals chickens and rabbits, and dogs are not like cats. It will be loyal to its master even if it eats chaff, so it is best not to raise it.

Well, ask how the puppy will be sold at that time, it is not acceptable to give it away, it is a bribe and she will not accept it...
