Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 66

Situ Jing and Axiu came to the courtyard with their clothes in their arms. The old woman said at the first sight: "Brother, this is your elder brother's sister-in-law. Look at the young couple. They are a good match." Quickly explained: "Mother-in-law, you are mistaken. They are not husband and wife. This is my brother and this is my cousin." They are a good match together." I bumped Situ Jing's arm and smiled and said, "Really? I also think they are a good match. Anyway, she is a cousin from afar. I will tell my mother when I go back. Let's count it as a day for you to get married. .”

Situ Jing knocked on my head and said viciously to me: "Hai, wait and see how I deal with you later. Axiu ignore him, let's sit over there." Axiu shook off his hand and said: " If you want to sit, you can sit down, this pile of clothes will be wrinkled in water if you don’t wash them out. Grandma, can you give me a bigger wooden basin? I want to wash out this pile of clothes.” The old woman replied Turning around and going back to the house, she took out a big laundry tub and put it on the ground. Axiu put the clothes in the tub and went to the lake with the tub.I saw that Axiu was struggling to hold the wooden basin, so I said to Situ Jing who was beside me: "Brother Jing, sister Axiu can't handle these clothes, so hurry up and help me." In front of Xiu, he picked up the wooden basin and walked towards the lake.Looking at Situ Jingyuan's figure, and then looking at Xu Lu who was busy cooking, I found that I really have the potential of a matchmaker.

I was secretly having fun when a man and a woman came out of the courtyard. The man was tall and strong. From the muscles on his arms, it could be seen that he had been engaged in heavy work for a long time. Maintaining a good face, the two seem to be a couple from their intimate appearance, but the woman seems to be a little uncomfortable and is being supported by the man as she walks slowly.As soon as the man entered the courtyard, he shouted to the room: "Mother, Xiaojuan is not feeling well, come and take a look." The old woman poked her head out of the house and scolded with a smile: "You silly child, Xiaojuan is not feeling well, why don't you go Find a doctor, why find a mother, who can't cure diseases."

Seeing the old woman walking out, the woman barely stood up straight and said to her, "Mother, don't listen to the child bluffing there. I'm fine, maybe I got up early and got cold, and I'll be fine in a while." The man touched With a smile on the back of his head, he said to the old woman: "Mother, who are these people in the yard?" A meal of fresh crabs." The man looked at me and said to the old woman, "Mom, I'll go to the town to order some bars. It would be boring to eat crabs without some old wine." The old woman nodded and said, "That's good. , you go and come back quickly, and go to the shop to talk to the shopkeeper, first grab a pair of medicine for your father to eat, and the money for the medicine will be sent to him tomorrow." The man nodded and said: "Okay mother, I Let's go now. Ma'am, you should go back to your room for a rest. I vomited on the road for a long time just now, so don't fall ill." After the woman nodded in response, the man picked up the coat he had just taken off and left the hospital, walking towards the town go.

After the woman saw the man leaving, she politely said to me and said to the old woman: "Mother, is there anything I can do for you, please don't be tired." The old woman said to her: "I will let you go back to your room after giving birth. You can go to rest for a while, if there is nothing to do, your sister is enough." The woman shook her head and said: "It's okay, mother, there must be a lot of things to do today, you and Niu'er must be too busy Here." Seeing the woman insisting on helping, the old woman said to her: "Then you go to the backyard and pick some chives, and I'll make a spicy crab for the guests to try later." After the woman nodded, she said Go to the back of the courtyard.

After I saw the girl leave, I said to the old woman: "Mother-in-law, I have known you for so long and I still don't know what to call you?" Brother, just call me Li Po.” At this time, the woman who had just gone to the backyard came back with a small handful of fresh shallots and said to Li Po: “Mom, let me wash and dry the onions, and you can use them later.” Li Po nodded.

I saw the woman picking and washing the chives quickly, cutting them into several pieces and putting them on the table, and went to help the girl again.I said to Granny Li: "Grandma Li, this is your daughter-in-law. She is very filial to you." Granny Li smiled and said, "My brother is young and has sharp eyesight. This is indeed my daughter-in-law, named Pang Xiaojuan. The same is true at home. The one by the lake has been married to my family since I was a child, and we have been married for four or five years." I continued, "The elder brother who went out to buy wine just now is your son." Grandma Li said, "Yes, That was my son just now named Li Sheng, and his nickname is Sheng Zi." At this time, the girl in the room called out to Granny Li: "Mother's water is boiled, shall we start steaming crabs now?" Granny Li hurriedly said, "Little Brother, you sit down first, I’m off to work.” I nodded and said, “Okay, Granny Li. I’ll just sit here and wait to eat your crab.” Granny Li turned and walked into the house.

Not long after Granny Li entered the room, Xu Lu came out with a disheveled face. When I saw him come out, I rushed forward and asked, "How about Xu Lu, did you fall in love with her girl?" Xu Lu nodded shyly and said yes I said, "Young master, what do you think I should do? Niu'er doesn't pay me any attention." I poked his chest and said, "Why are you so anxious? You just met. How could Niuer see it so quickly?" You have to let people accept you slowly. Don’t worry, for the sake of your life, young master, I decided to live here for a while. You have to work harder to catch the girl, otherwise there will be no such thing in this village. Shop now. Now you go to the lake to wash your face, you look like a big black bear, it's no wonder the girl will take a fancy to you."

"Okay, young master, I'll go right away." Xu Lu ran towards the lake in a hurry.

I said to the three people who had a great time playing with the crab: "You three don't play with that crab anymore, be careful that you can't eat it if you die after playing." Watching Situ Jie and Qi Shun stand up, they left the tub and sat down beside me.After Granny Li picked up a dozen or so larger crabs in a smaller pot, she told the girl who came out together: "Niuer, wash the rest of the crabs and put them in the pot to steam." Niu'er nodded in response and walked towards the lake with some difficulty carrying the wooden basin.Qi Shun next to me saw Xiang Xiang to help me, so I hurriedly stopped Qi Shun so that Xu Lu would not miss this rare opportunity to be courteous.

After about a quarter of an hour, Situ Jing, Axiu, Xu Lu and Niu'er came back from the lake with two wooden basins talking and laughing.After entering the courtyard, Axiu and Niu'er walked into the house with a wooden basin full of crabs, while Situ Jing and Xu Lu took out clothes one by one from the wooden basin, and put them on the long rope that was hung to dry clothes in the courtyard. Hang up.I wondered, I hadn't seen them so close before I left, why it was different when I came back.I walked behind Situ Jing and Xu Lu, and asked the busy pair of miserable men: "What's the matter, after going out for a while, it became chattering and laughing, it's developing too fast." Situ Jing saw me Asking this question, he shook his head helplessly and continued to dry his clothes.I looked at Xu Lu at the side again, hoping to get an answer from him to satisfy my curiosity.

Xu Lu saw that I was unwilling to give up and said: "Master, your eyes saw us talking and laughing, just now it was Niu'er and Sister Axiu talking and laughing, there is no difference between me and Eldest Young Master." What's the matter. The two of them completely treat me and the young master as air." I pretended to be very old-fashioned and patted their arms (I wanted to pat the shoulders too, but my height didn't allow me to do so, so I could only pat Arms) said: "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard, let's continue to work hard." Although the two of them didn't understand what I was talking about, they could still understand the meaning. Both sighed and continued to dry clothing.I went back to the stone bench and continued to drink my tea, and chatted with Qi Shun about other things, while Xiao You and Situ Jie ran around in the courtyard, playing around.
