Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 71
The weather was fine, Du Xiaoyu went to the field to pull a lot of vegetables, washed them, took a big bamboo plaque and put them inside to dry. The rabbit has grown up, and its stomach is not as weak as it was when it was a child. It is no problem to eat vegetables, and it can also supplement more In terms of nutrition.

The little wolf rolled all over the ground beside her, as long as there was sunshine, it was always so cheerful.

"Stand still." Du Xiaoyu shouted loudly.

The little wolf got up immediately, his ears pricked up, like a well-trained soldier.

"Good." She smiled and stretched out her hand to pat it on the head, then threw a dry bone from the window sill into the distance, pointing her finger, "Go, pick it up."

The little wolf spread his legs and ran forward in a gust of wind. As a result, he became disobedient after biting a bone and gnawed loudly. But because he was young and his teeth were not strong enough, he found that he couldn't gnaw, so he even planed on the spot. Come to the pit, I want to hide the bones and solve it slowly later.

Du Xiaoyu went up to give it a chestnut, and thought it was very funny, shook his head and took out a few pieces of jerky for it.

The little wolf shook his head and tail, very unhappy.

"I haven't caught a mouse yet, but I'm very greedy." Mrs. Zhao was washing clothes in the yard, and said when she saw the situation, "You have to train it well, don't take on that bitch's temper, if you go out and catch people, you're meat. People got bitten."

There is a reason for saying this. Two days ago, the big dog of the Bai family, that is, the little wolf's mother, bit off a piece of meat from the thigh of a surnamed Lu. The Bai family paid a lot of money for medicine, and the dog was severely beaten by Bai Shiying. After a pause, I heard that they were all lame, so Mrs. Zhao couldn't help complaining. She didn't really agree with keeping a dog, but the youngest daughter wanted to follow her to save her son from falling into the water.

Du Xiaoyu also knew about this, and snorted when he heard the words, "I think that dog is very smart, who knows what's going on, could it be that if the man beats and eats it, the dog can't resist?"

Mrs. Zhao rubbed the dirty place vigorously, "Then what can I do, a dog can't justify itself."

Du Xiaoyu thought it was the same, so he took the jerky back. It seems that the little wolf needs to be trained well. It has a fierce personality. Last time I saw it bit a puppy that was snatching food until it was dripping with blood. When I grow up, if I encounter someone who wants to beat it, I may bite people into what it looks like!

The two were talking, when a person came by the gate of the courtyard, it was Mrs. Wu, holding a small bamboo basket by his right arm.

Du Xiaoyu turned a blind eye to it, and has been here a few times during this time, always persuading Du Wenyuan to visit his grandmother by the way when he returns home, but he never went, which shows that he is indeed determined this time not to have any more problems with his grandmother's family. any entanglements.

"Big, sister-in-law." Wu said softly.

Mrs. Zhao became more and more impatient with her, "What are you doing here again? You are so busy at home, and she comes here again and again, she is treating you like a monkey!"

Wu was dumbfounded and blushed for a while, "Mother also misses her grandson."

"Bah, I miss you again now, and I haven't seen any movement in the past few years!" Mrs. Zhao stood up and poured out a basin of water, and walked to the well again.

Mrs. Wu took a few steps closer, "Sister-in-law, after all, we are also a family, do you really want to die and never see each other again?"

"It's not that serious. Just check it out during the holidays. What do you do with each other on weekdays?" Mrs. Zhao asked, "Maybe people will think that our family is greedy for those fields!"

"No, how is it possible," Wu said, "Mother knows you are not such a person, otherwise she wouldn't have called me here." She reached out and grabbed Zhao's sleeve, "Sister-in-law, think about it carefully, Wen Yuan There is still a long way to go.”

I don't know who taught her to say this, no matter how long the road to a bright future is, their family doesn't care about that woman's money!Mrs. Zhao broke away her hand and said with a low face, "You are helping her wholeheartedly now, don't think she will appreciate you, just think of your kindness, let me tell you, don't think about it! One day it doesn't go her way, some You have to suffer!"

Thinking of the pain from the stick hitting her body, thinking of Li Shi's narrowed eyes, and sternly ordering, she couldn't help shaking her fingers, yes, this family must never go back!Mrs. Zhao put the bucket on the ground resentfully, splashing water from Mrs. Wu's feet.

Wu took a few steps back and said in a panic, "Sister-in-law, you know it's not easy to mess with. I still have two daughters, and I have parents to raise... Sister-in-law, you have to think about me!"

Zhao Shi didn't pay any attention, and walked into the room with a wave of his hands, closing the door with a bang.

Wu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and glanced sideways at Du Xiaoyu who was feeding the cows.

Du Xiaoyu ignored her as well. Weakness is no excuse. Doesn't it mean that if she is having a hard time, she has to ask Mrs. Zhao to take care of her face and let her grandmother get what she wants?This is impossible.

Wu Shi really had no choice but to turn around and walk back slowly.

Looking at that thin back, Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but sigh. Li Shi thought that Du Wenyuan's return to that home seemed to have become a kind of obsession, which was a bit bad, but now that he has failed several times, it is hard to guarantee that he will return. Think of some other way out.

But what it is is unpredictable.

In the first ten days of July, Mrs. Wu finally came back, her face was full of joy, and she was so happy that she couldn't tell. When I asked the reason, she told the doctor to show it to his wife. It was a boy, and he was waiting to hold his grandson. Everyone couldn't help but congratulate him .

As a result, Aunt Wu has started to play with needlework again recently, cutting and embroidering clothes, and preparing diapers and small clothes for her future grandson.

Mrs. Zhao saw that Mrs. Qin hadn't mentioned it yet, so she went to Mrs. Wu's house to talk early in the morning. Du Xiaoyu hurriedly grabbed a few handfuls of fried broad beans and followed them, pretending to eat beside her, and wanted to hear what they could do to stop Mrs. Qin .

Sure enough, Aunt Wu disagreed, saying that the lady of the Ye family originally had eyes on her forehead, but now she has a nephew of the county magistrate, how can she see people under her eyelids?Moreover, she didn't want her daughter to marry a villager, so Pang Cheng had no chance at all, and she would be humiliating herself if she went.

"Hey, I'll just say it!" Zhao sighed, "But Sister Qin took a fancy to that Zhu'er, and brought her to my home last time. She has nothing to do with Ye's family. She has always been exquisite and charming. , this time, I really can’t figure it out.”

"What can't be figured out is that she thinks highly of her son." Aunt Wu embroidered a small cotton-padded jacket with blue patterns on a white background, and said with a smile, "My children are all treasures. My little grandson is going to come out. I don't want to make him a good in-law in the future!"

"Elder sister really thinks too far." Zhao also laughed, "But it's different after all. You have a lot of sense. Unlike her, how many people have you rejected? I see that many girls are worthy of Pang Cheng Yes, but she insists on it. My husband-in-law asked you to marry them before, but I told him, Sister Qin, she is too picky. Now it’s good, I picked someone I can’t afford, you Say it!"

Aunt Wu didn't speak for a while, and said half aloud, "She is a dead-tempered person, and she won't turn back until she hits the south wall. She used to open a grocery store. How many people said she couldn't do it, so she opened it? She just opened the shop of Tong's house. Forced to close the door, this time I'm afraid I have to give up."

Du Xiaoyu forgot to eat the broad beans when he heard it. It turns out that Qin Shi is such a resolute person, but this time the matter cannot be solved by a strong personality.

"You mean, why don't you just follow her wishes?" Zhao said.

"Yes, it's best to let her go to Ye's house with me to have a look," Aunt Wu said, "When she goes, she will know that Ye's family will not marry their daughter to their family no matter what. Isn't this the end?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded, "That's fine, so she won't have to think about it, but you can also save her face by probing."

"Of course I know that."

After the discussion between the two, Mrs. Zhao went back.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Qin came over in a hurry. When she heard that Mrs. Wu had contacts with the Ye family, she vaguely revealed some meaning. The son also often helped the people in the village bring things, and it was because of this that he had contacts, so he invited Qin to go with him.

Of course, Mrs. Qin agreed, and went home to dress up and put on the jewelry that she didn't usually wear on weekdays. Not to mention the clothes, they were glamorous.

Du Xiaoyu pestered to follow.

Aunt Wu and Mrs. Qin both liked her, and even if Mrs. Zhao didn't give it to her, they forced her to leave.

"Auntie, you are so beautiful today!" Du Xiaoyu touched her clothes, the material was silky and silky, and the color was apricot red, which made Qin's cheeks even brighter.

Aunt Wu complained secretly, the Qin family really valued this matter, and she might be disappointed when the time comes.

The three of them walked for about a stick of incense, and saw the brick wall of Ye's house from a distance, a dog barked at the door, and the noisy voices of several children came faintly.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Wu?" The wife of the Ye family, Mrs. Chen, ran out and greeted enthusiastically, "He brought someone with him, isn't this the lady of the Pang family? Who is this little girl?"

Seeing that she knew him, Qin quickly replied, "This is the youngest daughter of the Du family on the west side of the village."

"Du's?" Shen was obviously taken aback, then nodded, "Oh, come in, it just so happened that someone gave Dahongpao yesterday, soaking it for you to taste."

Big red pouch?Could it be that kind of expensive tea?But there are good and bad, but Du Xiaoyu is not proficient in this.

Qin's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth moved.

The three of them sat down, and saw two boys running around very restlessly at the door, so Shen called out, "Zhu'er, come and take care of your younger brother, there are guests at home, and I'm busy."

Zhu'er came out in response, first bowed to Mrs. Qin and Aunt Wu, and then ran outside to take her two younger brothers.

"Zhu'er is really sensible, and she has a way," Qin said with a smile, "the two children will be quiet as soon as they go out." Then asked Shen, "I usually help with a lot of things, right?"

"Where, I don't want her to do things." Shen said with a smile, "On weekdays, she only concentrates on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and sometimes goes to live with her uncle's house for a while. She is smart, and her two younger brothers are naturally obedient." She sighed as she spoke. , "The sun is also hot in this village, and her skin will turn dark after a few days. She must not be allowed to stay here in the future."

Qin's expression changed upon hearing this.
