Chapter 70

"Don't bother, don't bother."

"Then you take these guests to your house, we two go back first." The other two villagers said, and then they said goodbye to Liu Xiaodong and the three of them and went home together.

The little brother who asked them to stay told them that his name was Li Tiancheng, and big brother Li laughed, "Little brother, we are really destined, my surname is Li too."

Li Tiancheng smiled and said, "Really? Then we are really destined, come on, go this way."

Brother Li led the carriage and followed behind Li Tiancheng, "Brother Tiancheng, how old are you this year? Are you married?" People in the village love to ask questions with one.

Li Tiancheng scratched his head shyly when he heard this question, "I'm [-] this year, and I haven't gotten married yet."

"Then is there any girl you like?" Brother Li continued to ask.

Li Tiancheng led the way in front, and he could see his red ears from behind, "No...no."

"Didn't the family help you find a girl?"

Li Tiancheng smiled embarrassingly, "The family is poor, and I have to save money for my mother's medical treatment. I should wait until I have money before marrying a wife."

Hearing this, Liu Xiaodong poked his head out of the carriage, "Auntie is sick? Isn't it inconvenient for us to bother you?"

Li Tiancheng looked back at Liu Xiaodong, "It's okay, my mother's body is pretty good, but when my father was gone, she cried too much and her eyes were broken. I want to save money for my mother's treatment." eyes."

Seeing Liu Xiaodong hunched over in the carriage with his head exposed, Xiang Qin shouted softly, "Go in quickly and sit down."

Liu Xiaodong was suddenly snarled by Xiang Qin. He felt that Xiang Qin was inexplicable, but he returned to the carriage and sat down. As soon as he sat firmly, the wheels of the carriage bumped on the uneven road, and Liu Xiaodong's body was in the carriage. After shaking for a while, Liu Xiaodong finally understood what Xiang Qin said just now.

Liu Xiaodong knew that he had misunderstood Xiang Qin. If Xiang Qin hadn't asked her to go back and sit down, she would have been knocked off the carriage by now, "Mr. Qin, thank you."

Li Tiancheng listened to the conversation between Liu Xiaodong and Xiang Qin just now, "The road here is not easy, Miss Liu should sit in the carriage."

"Well, thank you Mr. Li." Liu Xiaodong replied across the carriage.

Li Tiancheng was embarrassed again, "What kind of son am I, just call me Tiancheng."

Liu Xiaodong might also feel that his title was a bit abrupt, so he changed his tune and said, "Okay, thank you, Tian Cheng."

"No, no, I didn't do anything."

After walking for a cup of tea, the group arrived at Li Tiancheng's house. Only then did Liu Xiaodong know what Li Tiancheng meant by being poor. The adobe house in front of him was so far away that Liu Xiaodong seemed to be able to smell the dirt.

"My family's conditions are not very good, I hope you don't dislike it, let's just make do for one night."

Liu Xiaodong said, "I don't mind it, it's much better than spending the night in the open air, really."

"It's fine if you don't dislike it, come in quickly." Li Tiancheng led them to the door again.

Li Tiancheng pushed open the door, took off the pannier on his back and put it on the ground, then yelled into the room, "Mother, I'm back, and I brought some guests who want to stay at our house."

Hearing his voice, Li Tiancheng's mother fumbled in the house to get off the kang, and then walked out of the house holding the kang and the door frame all the way, "Tiancheng is back."

Li Tiancheng hurried forward to support the old mother, "Hey, I'm back, mother, these are the guests who are coming to our house today."

"Ma'am, I'm bothering you." Liu Xiaodong said.

Brother Li also echoed, "It's really disturbing."

Li Tiancheng's mother waved her hand, "Don't bother me, Tiancheng and I are usually at home, and I also feel that the house is very deserted, so a few people can make it more lively."

Aunt Li let Li Tiancheng support her and walked a few steps in front of Liu Xiaodong and the others. She stopped when she got in front of the three of them, and squinted her eyes to look at them.

"There are so many people here, is there enough space in the east room? No, you can go and tidy up the woodshed. Today you will sleep in the woodshed for the whole night."

"I know mother, you don't have to worry about it, I'll help you go to the house to rest first."

Aunt Li patted Li Tiancheng's hand that supported her, "I rest at home every day, and it's not that I don't know the way to my house. I just go in by myself. Go and tidy up the east room for the guests." .”

Li Tiancheng refused to let go, "Mom, I'll send you back first, and I'll clean it up right away."

"Okay, that's right, you can go to Ergou's house at the entrance of the village to cut a catty of meat later, and cook some delicious dishes at night." Aunt Li was supported by Li Tiancheng and said after taking two steps forward.

"Understood, mother, let me help you in first."

Liu Xiaodong and the three of them stood in the yard waiting for Li Tiancheng to come out. Liu Xiaodong took a closer look at the yard. There was an east house, a main house, a firewood house, and a hut. There are four chickens, three ducks and one goose.

After Liu Xiaodong looked around, Li Tiancheng also came out of the room, and introduced: "This is the east room, there are two other rooms inside, Miss Liu and Young Master Qin will live in the east room, Brother Li, come to my room at night live, I just live in the firewood house."

Brother Li shook his head hurriedly, and said, "No, no, how can this let you sleep in the woodshed? I can just live in the same room with Mr. Qin, right, Mr. Qin?"

Xiang Qin nodded lightly, and Brother Li also breathed a sigh of relief. He was still worried that Mr. Qin would not agree.

Li Tiancheng was very forthright, "That's fine, you go out first, this house has been dusty since no one has lived in it for a long time, I'll clean it up for you.

Liu Xiaodong rolled up his sleeves a little, "It's okay, I'll clean it up with you, it will be faster."

Li Tiancheng saw that Liu Xiaodong really didn't mind, and said, "Okay."

Seeing this, Brother Xiang Qin and Brother Li also cleaned up together. The four of them worked together and quickly cleaned up the east room. Li Tiancheng scooped a basin of water from the water tank in the yard for everyone to wash their hands. Take a break, I'll go to Ergou's house to cut a piece of meat and come back."

After washing his hands, Liu Xiaodong put down his sleeves, "Tian Cheng, I'll go with you. I've been in the carriage for a day, and I want to take a walk too. I happen to go out for a stroll with you."

"It's fine, then wait for me." Li Tiancheng ran to his room in the main room to get the money.
