Nine Zero, the cannon fodder wife of the paranoid boss is reborn
Chapter 45: A Little Favor
Wang Hao forced himself to explain: "Her mother's family doesn't have many chestnuts, only fifty or sixty pounds. How can she do any business? She is greedy even though she is pregnant. Seeing that sugar-roasted chestnuts are delicious, she wants to learn how to do it."
Fry some and eat it yourself.”
Chen Chunli is from Qingshui Town next door. She knows what the streets and houses there are like and whether they have front or back yards. We often walk around the streets when collecting bills, so we know very well.
It is self-evident whether it was saved by her mother's family or whether she bought it from someone else with great efforts.
Everyone in the neighborhood knows what kind of temper Chen Chunli is, not to mention Luo Shiliu and others who are close to Wang Hao.
It's just a matter of brothers, I'm too lazy to expose it.
…
Bai Lu vaguely felt someone touching her forehead, and slowly opened her eyes. In her hazy sight, she saw an enlarged version of the man's handsome face and wrists, very close at hand.
She blinked and looked confused: "Why did you touch my forehead?"
Xiao Cheng calmly took back his hand. The palm of his hand was at a normal temperature, and his tone was as calm as usual: "It's okay."
The morning sun shone through the glass window, and a faint ray hit the black-green circles under his eyelids, making him look like he hadn't slept all night.
Bai Lu was confused: "Didn't you sleep last night?"
"Sleep."
Xiao Cheng slowly opened the quilt, stood up, got out of bed, put on clothes and shoes, and looked back.
Seeing Bai Lu sitting up, she rubbed her eyes, yawned sleepily, and lazily moved her body to get up. She couldn't help but say, "You can sleep a little longer."
Bai Lu patted her flat belly and said seriously: "I'm hungry. I need to get up and make breakfast."
Xiao Cheng originally wanted to call her when he was done, but she had already stopped her laziness and quickly folded the quilt and got out of bed.
I put on my shoes, stretched out in front of the mirror, picked up the cotton-padded jacket hanging on the back of the chair, put it on, buttoned it up, and walked out, taking small steps.
It's like stepping on clouds, light and slow.
Xiao Wei squatted by the well and brushed his teeth.
Bai Lu took a toothbrush filled with toothpaste, a water cup, and an enamel washbasin, and came over to get the water: "Classmate Xiaowei, tomorrow is Qingming Festival, you should have a holiday, right?"
After she got the water, she started brushing her teeth. She didn't squat often, and even when she squatted down to pick things up, her posture was very particular.
Unlike Wang Cuihua next door, who squats anytime, anywhere, casually, without any image.
However, when she brushed her teeth while standing, the foam was very high. Xiao Wei was afraid that the top of his head would turn white, so he moved away a little.
"Today is Friday." So, regardless of whether tomorrow is Tomb-Sweeping Day or not, the weekend is a holiday.
"Oh..." Bai Lu nodded knowingly.
Xiao Wei didn't understand why she didn't lean towards her elder brother, why did she lean towards him? As a result, he was constantly being affected by the eyes that glanced here from time to time, and his whole body felt like being crawled by ants.
I quickly brushed my teeth, washed my face, and ran back to the kitchen to wash the rice and put it into the pot. He would be the one to cook the porridge today.
Bai Lu and her eldest brother have been cooking noodles and adding eggs for the past few days. They are delicious, but they have to get up early in the morning.
The breakfast here is porridge mixed with side dishes. It is very simple, just cut some dried radish into cubes.
Bailu cut two bowls, and put a few chopped chili peppers and soy sauce into one bowl, marinating it and eating it.
There is no chili in one bowl, just diced radish.
Xiao Wei, who was not used to eating raw chili peppers, would always put his chopsticks in one direction, and would occasionally follow Xiao Cheng into the bowl with chili peppers.
My mouth was red from the spicy food, so I drank a few big mouthfuls of porridge, and then continued to fight with the pepper and radish cubes.
after breakfast
Xiao Wei went to school, Xiao Cheng went to build a house next door, and Bai Lu went to the vegetable garden in the backyard, took a long-handled wooden spoon to the river, scooped out water and sprinkled the vegetables, and sprinkled them in the air.
If you pour water directly into the vegetable field, it will bend the young vegetable seedlings and make them unable to recover for a long time.
The old hen squatted in the chicken coop, quietly laying eggs, occasionally raising her eyes to see the little figure soaking in the rain on the vegetable field.
A few days ago, Bai Lu went to Zhang's sister-in-law's house and bought a batch of eggs that had just been laid. She picked out twelve eggs with flocculent embryos and gave them to the old hen to hatch chicks.
Xiao Wei was extremely happy. Although his face didn't show any joy, he still ran to the chicken pen after school every day.
Halfway through pouring the vegetables, there was a knock on the door suddenly. Bai Lu put down the long wooden spoon and went to open the door.
The person who knocked on the door was an older female stranger.
She was wearing a dark old cotton coat, military green liberation shoes, and her trousers were stained with yellow mud. Her body was not fat but slightly thin, her face was round and her lips were thick, her skin was yellowish and slightly dark, and she had obvious crow's feet at the corners of her eyes when she smiled. She was about five years old. He was more than ten years old, holding a notebook and a pen in his hand.
He He said angrily: "Is this Xiao Zhigang's son, Xiao Cheng's family?"
"It's Xiao Cheng's family." Bai Lu nodded lightly.
The female elder confirmed that she was looking for the right family, so she explained her purpose: "That's it. Tomorrow's Qingming Festival, Xiaojiacun will go to the mountain to worship the ancestors of the Xiao family. I am Li Hongying, the wife of Xiao Guofu, the head of Xiaojiacun. We will come to town today to inform Xiao Family members, by the way, collect the money for the incense candles, one dollar and five per person. If there are several people in your family, just give money to a few people."
The ancestral land of the Xiao family is across the river, on the mountain side of the old rural village. Many people have moved to the town in recent years.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, clan members would come to the town to inform them to go back to worship their ancestors. Xiao Zhigang would go back before his death.
After Xiao Zhigang passed away, the Xiao clan members did not inform Xiao Cheng. First, they were concerned about Xiao Cheng's reputation as a bully.
Second, he felt that Xiao Cheng would bring shame on the Xiao family's ancestors by doing this, and they did not want him to go back to worship their ancestors.
Li Hongying will come to inform Xiao Cheng today. She heard people from the village who came to the town to buy things say that Xiao Cheng seems to have changed recently. I haven't seen him taking people walking around the streets for a while. I heard that he is still building a house for the people next door. house.
Furthermore, there is a little thing I want him to help me with.
When notifying others just now, they deliberately went around the next door and saw Xiao Cheng laying bricks from a distance. Li Hongying and Xiao Guofu separated with peace of mind, and she came to Xiao Cheng's house to inform them.
I heard from the Xiao family in the neighborhood that Bai Lu, Xiao Cheng's wife, has a cheerful personality and is easy to talk to.
Li Hongying waited until Bai Lu gave her four yuan for a five-scented candle before she confirmed that the rumors she heard were true.
He spoke again, with a much more friendly tone: "Bai Lu, aunt would like to ask you to do a small favor."
Bai Lu also had something to do when she returned to the ancestral home of the Xiao family. It was best to help each other. She smiled and said: "Xiao Cheng is also a member of the Xiao family. We are all members of the clan. If you have anything to say, just tell me. If you can help me, I will definitely help."
Seeing the smile on her face, Li Hongying felt relieved and said: "As of now, we have counted 138 people from the Xiao family in the town who have returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors."
"It's a long journey back to the countryside. It takes three or four hours to walk around the river. I heard that Xiao Cheng knew the owner of the brick factory, and I was wondering if I could ask him to borrow some brick trucks from the owner of the brick factory to take the Xiao family back to the countryside. To worship the ancestors, those military green six-wheeled brick carts can carry many people at a time."
Li Hongying specifically pointed out that it was a military green big brick truck, not a hand-operated six-wheel tractor.
