There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 18

Qiaoqiao moved a short Fang Wu and sat in front of Ning Shi, panting for breath.

Seeing that her daughter got angry for some reason, Ning's small appearance was really funny. She winked at Cheng Daman, smiled and took out a red hair rope, grabbed Qiaoqiao's hair and began to give it to her. She braids her hair.

Qiaoqiao's hair is not that thick and black, but rather thin and soft. Looking through the sun, it looks orange-yellow. It is very light and soft in her hand. She dare not grab it hard. Use too much force, and this hair will break.

With light hands, she slowly braided a small braid, and finally wrapped it around the top of her head to form a small bun.

"Are you ready? Mother?" Qiaoqiao was in a hurry. If it wasn't for this era where disheveled hair was not allowed, she would have rushed out long ago.

"Okay, okay, you little girl, what are you in a hurry for? Your brother Zheng Cang can't escape."

Cheng Daman muttered, and looked at his daughter with dissatisfaction: "What are you going to do with that kid? I saved you once, just go and play with him a few times, and I'm still thinking about it every day, and I don't have time to accompany my father who has finally rested at home. !"

"Hey." Qiaoqiao let go of her legs and ran to Cheng Daman's side, hugged his thigh, raised her head and said, "Father play with me."

Cheng Daman's eyes lit up, he picked up his daughter and lifted it up: "Girl, tell me, what do you want to play?"

"Let's turn the rope together, or how about sketching patterns together...?"

"Go, go, piss me off on purpose." Cheng Daman pinched Qiaoqiao's face and said viciously on purpose.

"Don't hold on to the child, let her play, she is about to grow up, and she won't have many opportunities to play in the future, and she will learn from me." Ning smiled and took her daughter from Cheng Daman's arms. To the ground: "My Qiaoqiao has grown up, and my mother can hardly hold her."

"I'm leaving." Qiaoqiao ran towards the door.

"Come back, I'll go to the next door and ask your brother to come and see you off." Ning stared.

"me……"

"This is... Are you all at home?" The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and a woman's head poked in.

Ning hurried over to greet her: "Hey, yes, they are all here, this sister-in-law is..."

"Oh, girl, is your husband's surname Cheng?" The woman rubbed her hands with a warm smile and asked.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Cheng Daman also came over, stood beside Ning and asked.

During this time, the woman quickly sized up the two adults in front of her, and by the way looked at the house and every corner of the yard behind them. They were so small that they did not attract her attention, and because of their short stature , I happened to see her rolling her eyes and looking at her, so I didn't have a good impression of her in my heart.

"Hey, this is the head of the Cheng family. I'm also from this village, so I live in the east end. My family also worked with you a few days ago. He gave some wood when building the house." The woman Without answering the question, he started talking about something else.

Cheng Daman thought for a moment and said, "Are you from Lao Li's family?"

"Yeah yeah."

Having said that, Cheng Daman let go of his guard against her, and hurriedly beckoned to go in.

She nodded and walked in, followed by another one, because she had been hiding behind and didn't come out just now, when she came out now, Qiaoqiao was taken aback.

The girl following behind was the little girl who was still on the shore when she fell into the water that day. Qiaoqiao walked over, and the girl also saw her, and her mouth grew wide in surprise.

"What's your name?" Qiaoqiao asked her.

"My name is Chunli." After the girl replied, she looked at her timidly: "You, what's your name?"

"My name is Qiaoqiao."

"Why, do these two little ones know each other?" Cheng Daman asked when he saw the two children coming together and chattering.

After seeing this scene, the woman who came in showed some joy on her face. She hurried over and knelt down facing Cheng Daman with a plop. Her daughter Chunli also knelt down in panic.

"What, what is this for?" Cheng Daman was a little dumbfounded, and Ning Shi also looked over in a daze, and shook his head at Xianggong, indicating that she didn't understand what was going on.

"Get up, what are you doing?" Cheng Daman was inconvenient, and winked, Ning Shi squatted down and immediately pulled her up.

The woman raised her hand and began to wipe away her tears. Qiaoqiao didn't know if there were tears, but she was just wiping her eyes anyway. While wiping her tears, she sobbed and cried: "My daughter, I almost died a few days ago. I fell into the river. Your child was rescued. I’m here to thank you. Master Cheng, as you know, I’m not here. I went out to work a few days ago. I’m a woman , don't feel bad, it's not that he doesn't want to come, it's that he doesn't know about it, benefactors, don't dislike us for not being ignorant of the rules." As he said that, he wanted to kneel down again, and Ning Shi hurriedly supported him again.

Cheng Daman frowned: "Is your daughter the one who fell into the river a few days ago?"

This Mrs. Li immediately stopped crying and nodded vigorously.

"It wasn't my child who saved it, you made a mistake."

Cheng Daman was a little unhappy, her posture was really unbearable, she knelt and cried, the voice was so loud, the neighbors around didn't know what it was after hearing it.

"Yes, my daughter said that day that the savior was walking towards this road and came into your house. She was exhausted at the time, and she didn't follow to see clearly."

"It's not my child. At that time, my daughter was playing with other boys in the village. Maybe that boy saved her. My daughter was still young, and she was also watching at the time, but she was also scared, so I don't remember clearly."

The woman was stunned, and looked back, and found that two little girls were holding hands and looking at her curiously. She was about to raise her hand out of habit, but suddenly remembering the situation at this moment, she immediately made a gesture and let go. down.

"This girl is handsome, much better than my little one. Look, this little face, tsk tsk." Then Mrs. Li started to praise Qiaoqiao, and wanted to give Qiaoqiao an intimate pinch, but she let Qiaoqiao hide. She didn't care, and continued to ask: "Little girl, you and your brother saved my child that day, right?"

From the corner of Qiaoqiao's eyes, she saw that her father was gesturing desperately towards her, she thought amusedly that her father was pretty good, and knew he was lying, she shook her head with a smile: "No, I don't remember, I came back that day Then I got a fever, and my mother said that it was caused by a nightmare."

Mrs. Li didn't give up, and continued to ask, "Why don't you remember, look, she's with you." She grabbed her daughter and pointed at her and said to Qiaoqiao, wishing she would nod her head and say yes immediately.

Qiaoqiao's mouth opened a little bit, and she let out a sharp oh, and under Li Shixi's eyes, said calmly: "I really don't remember."

Seeing that the man looked like he was about to strangle him to death, Qiaoqiao made a frightened expression, ran to Cheng Daman's side with his short legs and hugged his thigh, and called pitifully, "Father, I'm so scared."

"Good girl, don't be afraid." Cheng Daman immediately coaxed his daughter cooperatively.

"Tell me, was it her that day?" Seeing that the family didn't want to admit it, the woman pinched her little daughter's arm and growled ferociously.

Chunli shed tears pitifully, looked at her mother, then at Qiaoqiao, she shook her head, but didn't speak.

Seeing that the woman's slap was about to land on Chun Li's face after being raised, she was about to rush over in a clever way.

But before she ran over, another person walked in through the gate.

Cheng Zhigao walked into the yard with a fish in his hand, and looked around in a daze when he saw the situation inside.

But the woman didn't give him a chance to react, she rushed over and grabbed Cheng Zhigao's trousers: "This is the child, this is the child who saved my daughter."
