Chapter 98

Xu Chi was also dumbfounded, Li Yin took the opportunity to be lazy, slipped up to Xu Yuan, stretched out his finger, and poked outside the quilt, Xu Yuan staggered and stabilized.

Tilting his head to look at it, after a while, he stretched out his hand and poked Xu Yuan's face again, fearing that Xu Yuan would catch him and give him a needle, so he ran away after poking.

Hiding behind Wanwan and sneaking a peek at her, Xu Yuan was unconscious, the Hanxiang sleeping on her own.

When the roasted sweet potatoes are cooked, the more and more intense aroma comes to the nostrils, the kind that can be squeezed into people's noses when you pinch your nose.

Xu Chi was thinking of sending him back to the house to sleep, otherwise he would definitely catch a cold.But before he came to him, Xu Yuan sneezed loudly, causing Xu Chi to take a step back in fright.

Feeling itchy nose in a daze, he lowered his head and rubbed against the quilt.

When the breath is smooth, I can smell the fragrance, and my stomach growls, and the owner can find food by himself before he wakes up.

Mumbling, muttering... like talking in a dream.Xu Chi wanted to go over to hear clearly what Xu Yuan was shouting, but at first he couldn't hear clearly, and then he simply listened to translate each word.

"...Mmm, eat... not sweet, no money..."

"Hahahaha" Father Xu slapped his thigh, overjoyed.Everyone couldn't stop laughing except for the person who didn't know it.

"What's this mess?" Xu Chi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, picked up Xu Yuan, and sent her to the room to catch up on sleep.

Today's weather is fine, neither hot nor cold.Xu's mother went to cook, and Xu's father wandered around the yard, thinking that he had stayed at home for a long time, so he decided to take advantage of the good weather to go out for a walk.

Although the crops have been harvested, there are not many people who are idle. Many people are still running around chopping firewood. If they can’t afford charcoal fire, they need to save more firewood in case it snows.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, where are you going?"

A man appeared from the pile of firewood, his voice was quite high, Xu's father was unprepared and a little frightened, he turned his head and saw that he knew him.

"I'm going out for a walk, I don't want to go anywhere."

The old man tightened his trouser waist, spat two mouthfuls of saliva on his palms and rubbed them together, then picked up the machete again, and with a loud "hey", the wooden pillar with the thickness of a child broke and was cut in two.

He got up and planned to chop again, took a moment to look at Xu's father, "Why are you running around in the cold weather, it would be great to get a bird to play at home, anyway, Yuan girl is very good, she is capable. Hey!"

Four firewood sticks cracked at the sound, Father Xu smiled and found a rock to sit on, "You're just a little girl, you still have to learn."

Kaka chopped a few more pieces of wood, the old man stood up with his waist supported, his old face was wrinkled all over.

Taking a breath, Ka Ka Ka started to dry again.

"Ouch!" After a while, there was an exclamation, Father Xu looked up, and hurried over to help him sit down.Seeing the old man rubbing his waist in different ways, he knew it was an old problem.

"Are you okay? You said you are quite old, let your son do the firewood chopping. What are you doing so desperately? Go back and rest for two days."

"Hey, this is a big deal! Don't worry about it, it's fine." After resting, the creases on his face became smoother, and he stood up and waved his hands without letting Father Xu support him.

He wanted to be brave, but as soon as he picked up the machete, he heard a "crack", and Xu's father hurried to give him a hand, so that he didn't fall to the ground and then fell into something wrong.

"Whoops whoops"

After a burst of pain, he didn't care about any firewood or machetes, so Father Xu hurriedly sent him home.

There was no one in the room, and I didn't know why the old man's son and wife had gone.Father Xu made something dark, warmed it up, and slapped the old man's waist hard when it was hot.

"Ouch! It's cool!" It hurts, feels cool, and is hot. The old plaster is working hard.

"Haha, what's the matter, does it still hurt?"

"It's okay, you can go back. Fortunately, you are here today, otherwise, old man, I would have to lie in front of the door for a long time."

Thinking that if she didn't go back, Xu's mother should find out, so she didn't refuse.When I went out, I saw that the machete was still lying on the ground, so I turned a corner to pick it up, and then sent it to the old man's house.

As he walked, Father Xu faintly heard someone calling him. At first he thought it was an auditory hallucination, but the sound became louder and louder.

Turning around to look, Ke Yun came to the store's waiter and rushed to Father Xu, gasped for breath and stopped, wheezing and wheezing...

"Hey, old man, your legs and feet are quite nimble. I've chased you halfway through the village."

Xu's father frowned, thinking who is this young man? If he doesn't know him, why does he still know him?

The shop clerk had just clarified his identity when a sedan chair came from behind, and a fat old man came out of it, with a bulging belly, dressed in silk and satin, he looked very luxurious.

But it wasn't that annoying to look at, Xu's father couldn't help but look at the shopkeeper Qian, secretly thinking that the girl had good eyesight and good luck.

"Hey, this is our shopkeeper's." The waiter hurried over and followed behind.

"Mr. Xu, my surname is Qian. I have some business dealings with your daughter, Ms. Xu. It won't be Chinese New Year, so I'll drop by to take a look when I go to do some errands."

Xu's father didn't know anything about the business, but he was knowledgeable enough to greet this shopkeeper Qian.Taking people home, many villagers looked over curiously along the way.

When this group of people walked away, someone muttered, "What kind of important person has come to the Xu family again? Look at the presents, they are good things."

……

It was the shopkeeper Qian who helped Xu Yuan build the yard, and it was the first time he saw the result, so he immediately thought it was really interesting, and Miss Xu had quite an idea.

Don't talk about shopkeeper Qian, even the boy following him was dumbfounded. At first glance, he felt that there was something wrong with the yard, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Instead, it made people feel much more comfortable.

really wicked

Father Xu thought that he had to give his daughter a long face, so he abandoned the promenade that led directly to the backyard, and led people from the gate all the way around, turning and turning, walking for a long time, and the money shopkeeper's neck turned all the time. When I was tired, a spike appeared in the backyard.

The place is not big, but Xu Yuan's nonsense has turned the corridor into a maze, and ordinary people really can't walk in without anyone with them.

But no one can pick out any faults in the corners, not to mention moss or something, not even a root of weeds, most of them are small flowers in clusters, which are trimmed and well-groomed.

There was no water at the bottom of the promenade, and it hadn't been brought in yet, so Xu Yuan made do with it and planted some bamboos, which looked quite interesting.

Shopkeeper Qian couldn't help being speechless, wondering if he should ask Xu Yuan to build him a yard as well.

Wanwan and Shopkeeper Qian were considered acquaintances, and when they came up, they called out "Grandpa" sweetly. With the lively atmosphere of the little girl, it seemed that it didn't matter whether Xu Yuan was there or not.

It was already noon when Xu Yuan woke up, Xu's father and Xu's mother were already very familiar with Shopkeeper Qian, they were sitting on the stone table in the courtyard, chatting while eating snacks.
