Chapter 28
In the room, several people stood with different expressions, and the atmosphere was strange and serious.

Xu's mother sighed suddenly, grabbed Xu Yuan and took her to the yard, pointing to Chang Zhu standing in the corner, "That child has something to do with you."

Xu Yuan looked at Chang Zhu strangely, and asked suspiciously, "Are you looking for me? What's the matter? Oh, by the way, do you want to eat? Wait a minute."

Have you never eaten pork or seen a pig run away? Xu Yuan understands that the little beggar came to ask for food.

Wrapped two big steamed buns from the kitchen and handed them to Chang Zhu, Xu Yuan waved her hand to open the door, but saw the child take a few steps back, obviously meaning not to leave.

The two confronted each other for a while, Chang Zhu seemed to sense Xu Yuan's impatience, he hurriedly took out a cloth bag from his body, and knelt down with a "plop".

"Please, give me some rice?"

Meter?Xu Yuan frowned and said nothing in thought, "What do you want rice for, and why should I give you food for free?"

I thought that the child would retreat in the face of difficulty, and accept it when he saw it, but he raised his head, as if thinking of something, staring at Xu Yuan with bright eyes, and there was a smile of reminiscence on the corner of his mouth.

"I don't want it for nothing, I have strength, I can work for you, carry water to feed pigs and grass, I can do it all, you believe me."

Seeing that Xu Yuan's expression was a little loose, Chang Zhu wisely continued to assure, "By the way, my family lives in the east of the village. I will work for you during the day, and I don't need to stay at your house at night..."

He is a man with good eyesight and not a stupid mind, Xu Yuan pointed at Piggy, planning to test his sincerity, but she didn't want Xu's mother to come over suddenly and look at Xu Yuan quite dissatisfied.

"He is a child, what do you ask him to do, give him a bowl of rice to save a life, he can't eat a few mouthfuls of your food!"

"Don't talk, let my daughter solve it by herself." Father Xu followed Xu Chi, and the two walked in slowly. Mother Xu stopped talking when she heard Father Xu's words.

Xu Yuan looked at her parents strangely, thinking that in ancient times, the three principles and five principles were deeply rooted in men and women, even if his father was a scholar, he would not understand those principles.

But this is exactly what she wants. There is no labor force in the family, and there will be many places where people will be needed in the future. Of course, children also have their uses.

Chang Zhu obediently let Xu Yuan dictate, let him sweep the yard, let him feed the pigs, not to mention his dexterous hands and feet, what Xu Yuan likes the most is that this child is very sensible.

She will look at her eyes and act, and her every move will neither be too much nor weak, so that people will not feel bored at all.

This kind of person is either born smart, or a chess piece that was educated, but thinking about the possibility of the latter, Xu Yuan also laughed.

Because the latter is simply not possible.

"What do you think of me, can you give me some food, I don't want a lot, just two bowls are enough."

"Can you tell me what you want this little food for?" Two bowls of food are enough for three people in her family to eat for two days. Even if the child has a small appetite, it is not enough for a few meals.

Asked about this, Chang Zhu immediately hesitated, hesitated, and looked at the people in the courtyard in embarrassment.

Xu Yuan squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, "Forget it, no matter what you do, you have to work with me for three days to make up for two bowls of grain. Remember to come to work tomorrow morning."

"Why don't you go?"

Father Xu also looked at the child, feeling strange.Let him only work for three days, which is reasonable and not too much.

"Too, too few..." The child looked at Xu Yuan timidly, a little afraid to look people in the eye.

Suddenly reacted, and quickly added, "It's not that there is less food, but that there is less work. I can work for you for half a month."

I hired child labor myself for three days, half a month?She can't sleep well in the middle of the night.

Xu Yuan frowned, thinking about other things in her mind, and simply waved her hand, "Five days, stop talking nonsense for a day."

Chang Zhu hurriedly covered the grain bag, bowed deeply to Xu Yuan, and ran away.

Turning around, he found Father Xu was looking at him with a meaningful smile, his eyes were really sharp, and Xu Yuan trembled from being stared at.

"Dad, why are you here?"

Father Xu snorted again, and Xu Chi hurried over and took out a large bag of money from his arms, "Stupid girl, you are still angry, you don't want the money even if you throw it here?"

"Silver? What kind of money?" Mother Xu stared at the three of them in bewilderment and asked.

Xu Chi smiled, and pulled Xu Yuan into the room. Xu Yuan kept a straight face, as if I'm not happy, don't talk to me, and don't want to talk to you.

"Hey girl, do you hold grudges? When I was young, my brother helped you fight, but you accidentally hit me with a stone. My brother didn't bother with you. Have you grown up?"

Saying that, Xu Chi stretched out his hand with a smile, pinched Xu Yuan's face and pulled it, and patted Xu Yuan's head like teasing a puppy.

"Okay, okay, brother said something wrong today, can't brother compensate you?" Putting down the money, Xu Chi sat at the table, sighed, his eyes were empty, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Brother originally wanted to be a great general, so that you could marry a good man if you earned some credit, but then the luck was bad, and something happened to Dad's school, so we came to this village..."

Xu Yuan listened quietly, feeling agitated in her heart. When she passed through this body, she didn't receive any news at all, let alone what happened to the Xu family.

She had always been careful to hide it, and even thought about using amnesia to cover up the past, but now she found that she really wanted to know about those past experiences.

It turned out that the Xu family had once been brilliant, and it turned out that Xu Chi was forced to leave his place of fame because of his family's decline, and came to this barren mountain and wild village to help Xu's father and Xu's mother earn a living.

And these, although she has not experienced it, she will inevitably participate in it in the future. Without Xu Yuan, the Xu family will also become incomplete, right?
She always thought that she was a lonely ghost, and she didn't care even if she left the Xu family, but if she really wanted to come, she didn't care where she could say she didn't care.

The Xu family may be more afraid of losing this daughter than themselves.

With a pain on her face, Xu Yuan came back to her senses and found herself being dragged by Xu Chi's nose. Like a girl's house."

Xu Yuan blushed, and slapped his hand away, "Only you still want to be a general, how can there be such a stupid general like you."

"By the way, don't tell mother the truth!"

Xu Chi chuckled and went out, Xu Yuan actually felt that the back was a bit chic and mighty, so she quickly patted her forehead, oh, no, no, no, I can't be fooled by him.

"What? How old are these two people, and they still lose their temper like when they were young, no, I have to teach Xu Chi a lesson, let him give way to his sister, look at what he does!"

Father Xu talked nonsense to Mother Xu with a serious face, and got the expected result. He couldn't help snickering, and turned to see Xu Chi coming out with a bright and happy face, making him even happier.
