Town.
The ox cart kept rushing forward. After the bumps along the way, Tang Xiu'er
became more and more unable to sit still, always feeling dizzy, and (body
shen) also swayed.
Ji Huai, who was sitting next to her (body shen) stretched out her hand to
embrace her waist, and stabilized her (body shen) son.
The market is very lively today. There are stalls on both sides of the road,
people coming and going, tea stalls are also full of people, noisy and lively
sounds.
The bullock cart finally stopped in front of a courtyard. Although this yard
is not in the market center, it is only a few blocks away.
"This is the house you rented?" Aunt Niu got out of the car and looked at the
gate. Seeing Ji Huai opened the door, she followed in.
The yard is very small, with only two rooms, but at any rate it is a blue
brick house. Although it is not a new house, it is spacious and undefeated.
"It's much better here than in the country. If there is such a house in the
town, it would be really outstanding." Big Brother Niu walked in and said with
emotion.
Many people in the country live in loess huts, and the poorer ones live in
thatched huts. How can there be such a magnificent house? He has never seen
anyone bought a house in the town, and like Aunt Niu, he also thinks that Ji
Huai and his wife are renting it.
How can one afford a house?
"How much is the rent for a house like this in one month?" Brother Niu was
very curious, seeing that there was a well in the courtyard, and vegetables
could be grown in the corner, and it was really enviable that he was staying
in the town.
They can only farm and make money, but Jihuai is different. The other party
hunts and earns more than them, so they can definitely afford the rent.
"This family went to the capital, the house was not needed, and the house was
sold cheaply. We looked at the price as the right price, and they happened to
have the money, so we bought it." Ji Huai moved in, seeing Tang Xiu'er also
want to use it, turning his head. Said to her, "Don't move, go and rest."
"Bought it?" Big Brother Niu took a deep breath, her eyes widening.
Not only was she extremely surprised, Aunt Niu and Big Brother Niu were also
stunned, and they couldn't believe it either.
Ji Huai: "Yeah."
"No matter how cheap it is, you get a lot of money." Aunt Niu followed to move
things on the ox cart. When she looked at the yard, she looked more closely.
How can the rented house be the same as the bought house?
After hearing what Ji Huai said, Tang Xiu'er didn't move any heavy objects.
When Big Brother Niu's wife fetched water, she also went to clean the house.
Since learning that it was the house Ji Huai and the others bought, Aunt Niu
(gan gan) was very enthusiastic about her work, as if she could not use all of
her energy. When she stopped halfway, she sighed and looked at Ji Huai and
said to them. , "Hunting is hard and dangerous, but who in the village is as
promising as you? I bought a house in the town. Your mother has a harder life
than mine, and she will be happy immediately and can live in a big house. Tell
me, toil I went there early all my life."
She doesn't doubt that Ji Huai's money for buying the house is unknown. A wild
boar today and a deer tomorrow. Doesn’t the money come just like that?
Tang Xiu'er was standing next to her, and when she heard her talking about
Mother Ji, her eyes drooped.
Although Ji’s mother will call her (gan) to work, it’s not too bad for her,
because she worked harder when she was in the Tang family, and she was raised
as Ji Huai’s wife in the Ji family. Ji’s mother would not let her. Drop the
root cause.
She still feels grateful to Ji Mu.
"My mother..." Ji Huai paused, "I hope my mother can feel relieved, and I will
take good care of Xiu'er and the child."
"You said you want to move out, so my aunt immediately agreed and rushed to
move it for you. It wasn't my aunt who said that your boss and second child
are really not good. Look, how long will it take to separate? You will have
the money to buy a house. . All the things that I brought back from hunting
and the money I made were used in it.” Aunt Niu began to complain about the
other two brothers in the Ji family, and said angrily, “The three brothers, I
will give you a sundries room, and you will lose this time. It collapsed and
didn't hurt anyone. They just killed you, just look at it. After you move out
of town, your life will definitely be getting more and more prosperous!"
"My mother is right, you have to stay away, don't believe it." Big Brother Niu
also agreed.
"I believe it." Ji Huai took the call, calmed down and said again,
"Originally, I wanted to rebuild a room at home. When I went to the market
that day, I asked the fortune teller, and my husband said the same. The three
of us brothers are against each other and cannot help each other. Only by
staying away can we get through the better."
He also used this reason to persuade Tang Xiu'er to spend all the money to buy
a house in the town.
People in these days more or less believe in fate, what the fortune teller and
the master of ghosts and gods say, you can't help but believe a word.
Tang Xiu'er nodded when she heard it, so she was also very obedient. Ji Huai
said she would follow wherever she went, as long as she stayed away from Ji's
house. Since falling out with the family, that family has been really
depressed.
"Let's just say, you'll have a good time as soon as you divide the family. You
must be restrained." Aunt Niu folded her hands and patted her, looking like
she had guessed a long time ago.
Ji Huai looked helpless, and said nothing.
They moved to the town rashly. The people in the village and the two brothers
of the Ji family must have more discussions. If no one speaks for them, they
don't know what they will be like.
Aunt Niu is the matchmaker in the village. Everyone gives two slices of
noodles, and they make half of the aunts in the village. They are microphones.
The fortune teller's section was naturally made up by him. When people in the
village have money, their first reaction is naturally to build a green diamond
tile house in the village. The more magnificent the better, so that they can
have a face, and they don’t think about buying a house in the town.
He said this also to reduce Tang Xiu'er's confusion and worries.
With the help of the Niu family, the house was quickly cleaned up. Everyone is
diligent, with crisp hands and feet (dry gan). After a meal of cleaning, the
house still looks good, and it looks more spacious and renovated than just
before.
Although she was not building a new house, she bought a house anyway. Aunt Niu
is a particular person and superstitious, so Ji Huai buys firecrackers to set
them off.
This is all moved to a new house, except for the bad luck, it is lively and
lively.
Brother Jihuai and Niu went to the market to buy firecrackers. He not only
bought firecrackers, but also bought two chickens and a catty of pigs (meat
rou), ready to come back for a big meal.
There are (meat rou) dishes, pastries and a big watermelon.
"You kid, what have you caught recently? Sold for a lot of money?" Big Brother
Niu expressed his curiosity and couldn't help but want to ask.
"It's all big guys, they are all fighting their lives. I came to live in town,
and I want to stop and find some work (gan gan)." Ji Huai stretched out a
string of copper plates and took over the butcher's cut. (Routou), said again,
"Xiu'er will give birth right away, and I won't go hunting in the mountains in
the future. If something happens to me, what should they do?"
He did go to beat a few big guys behind Tang Xiu'er, and the price of the
house was reduced, otherwise the money from selling ginseng would not be able
to make up the money to buy a house.
Brother Niu just moved a little bit, but he was wiped out by a basin of cold
water. Thinking of Ji Huai's ** legs bitten by a big worm, his heart was
also panicked, "Yes, hunting is dangerous, don't go in the future."
It is normal for hunters to get rich. However, not everyone can (gan gan) in
this business. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Ji Huai was
almost killed by a big bug last time.
If you have money, you can't spend your life.
On the last way back, Ji Huai also bought five hens, and wanted to feed Tang
Xiu'er to lay eggs to eat, and wait for her to give birth to her (body shen).
The two bought a lot of things and went back, and the group continued to work.
Aunt Niu's two grandsons also came, playing in the yard, eating the cakes that
Ji Huai bought, and seeing (rou rou) eating again, they didn't want to go
back.
The person in charge of the chef tonight is Aunt Niu. With the ingredients,
she can prepare a table of dishes. At a glance, it is delicious and makes
people drool.
Ji Huai also went to buy some rice wine, and a few big men drank a few
glasses, but they were very interested.
That night, the Niu family didn't go back, so they slept in another room.
Although Tang Xiu'er didn't show excitement all day, she didn't fall asleep
that night. She looked at the roof with her eyes open, and she still had an
unreal feeling.
The room they sleep in is actually not very big, but there are windows,
cabinets, and wooden (bed chuang). It's still in the town. Compared to the dim
and chaotic environment of the utility room, this place is simply heaven.
Xu couldn't fall asleep even after tossing around because of the strange land.
In the end, Ji Huai hugged him in his arms, suddenly feeling completely at
ease in his heart, and fell asleep after a while.
On the second day, when Aunt Niu and the others were going back, Ji Huai
bought them some cured meat (rou) and asked Aunt Niu, "Xiu'er is going to give
birth in a few months. My mother is no longer there, and we are the first Once
you become a parent, you may have to trouble Aunt Niu to take care of her for
a few days."
Aunt Niu is also a refreshing person, shirking off the meat (rou), "How many
days are enough? If you go to earn money, who will serve her confinement? Then
I will (pump chou) (pump chou) empty, much To help you."
She had a good relationship with Ji’s mother, and they were both poor people.
At any rate, she supported two sons, and the son married a daughter-in-law and
gave birth to a grandson. Now she is enjoying her twilight years.
Ji's mother had a hard life, and Tang Xiu'er was still young, and she really
couldn't pass it.
As the belly grew bigger and bigger, Tang Xiu'er was actually panicked.
Hearing Aunt Niu's words, her flustered heart slowly calmed down, and she
whispered, "Thank you Aunt Niu."
Thank you, sincerely.
Aunt Niu waved her hand and laughed.
When he went back, Ji Huai insisted on putting the meat rou on the ox cart,
and let them take back the half chicken left last night. Although Aunt Niu
kept clamoring that she would leave Tang Xiu'er to repair her son, he still
ignored it.
The ox cart gradually left, watching them turn before Ji Huai took Tang Xiu'er
back.
There was still a dead wood in the small yard, which had been eaten away by
insects. He went to the house and took the knife out and walked to the tree.
Raise chickens in cages."
Tang Xiu'er followed his gaze and looked towards the corner. The chicken he
bought was enclosed in that house. She pointed to the small open space next to
her, "I want to grow some vegetables."
If you don’t plant it, you have to buy everything, how can you get the money?
If you are in the country, you don’t need money, you can pick wild vegetables,
and you can plant the land. If you go out to the field, you will be given some
food. They are helpless in the town and have children to raise. Just think
about it. A little scared.
Ji Huai replied to her: "I am also idle today. I will buy seeds and plant them
later. You were tired yesterday, so let's rest today."
"I'm not tired." She shook her head. After leaving Ji's house, she relaxed her
heart. Now it is more convenient to live in the town. She can often embroider
kerchiefs and purses to sell.
When Ji Huai cut a tree to make a cage, she embroidered a purse on the stone
table beside her.
At the same time, Jijiacun.
Before, everyone was discussing the affairs of Sister Ji and Old Man Wang, and
because Sister Ji was bitten by a poisonous snake, everyone said that it was
retribution and talked about it happily.
The old man Wang has no nasty things. Many strong men in the village also
smelled that their daughter-in-law might have a leg, and some even discovered
it. They bit their teeth and swallowed for the sake of face. This time, Sister
Ji was discovered. Anyway, it was embarrassing. It's not them, but Sister Ji
and Old Man Wang can't be spared, they must be beaten vigorously.
Brother Ji was also the one who was ridiculed. He stayed at home for several
days without going out. Today, he was forced to go to the ground (gans) to
work. When he came back, he passed the village entrance and heard everyone
discussing the Jihuai couple.
Yesterday they were walking in an ox cart, and many people in the village saw
it.
"I heard that the house collapsed, and I don't know where to move."
"It's also pitiful, right? Ji Huai's leg is just right? His mother spent a lot
of money when she died, and the daughter-in-law was pregnant with the child
again.
"Unlucky, it was raining and windy two days ago, how could that little broken
house be able to hold it?"
"Hey, did the two brothers of the Ji family do things too terribly, you
said..."
....
Everyone was halfway through the discussion. Seeing that Big Brother Ji came,
his (body shen) was followed by the second brother and his wife who came back
from the field. Everyone stopped talking and didn't say anything.
Taking advantage of Ji's mother's death, the two brothers of the Ji family
hurriedly separated and drove the Jihuai and his wife to the utility room,
occupying the land of the house, and now they have no place to live. During
this period of time, the two brothers also had troubles (fat) continuously.
I'm afraid it's not retribution, right?
Since sister-in-law Ji (gan gan) like that, Brother Ji has become extra
sensitive, and any sight that falls on him will be regarded as malicious by
him.
He buried his head and was not ready to take care of him, and stepped up at
his feet, but some people were curious and really planned to ask, "Hey, Ji
Huai seems to have moved yesterday? Where is this going to move?"
"How did I know? That house can be repaired, but he didn't say that it would
be repaired, so he moved out." Brother Ji also looked puzzled, and said, "He
didn't tell us anything, we I was powerless and left without saying a word. I
don’t know where I moved. It’s too much trouble."
What he said was both inside and outside: It wasn't that they didn't care, it
was Ji Huai's problem.
The second brother Ji and the second sister-in-law also happened to come over
and heard everyone say how difficult it is for the Jihuai couple. Tang Xiu'er
is still pregnant with the child. She properly (inserted) her mouth, "Since my
mother left, it is indeed not easy for the two of them. Xiu The child is still
young, how do you know how to take care of a house? The two didn't repair the
house, but she had to eat eggs every day, and sometimes she had (meat rou)
every day. Otherwise, they could build a house. "
What she said, to outsiders, it’s not that they are mean to Jihuai and his
wife. The other party’s life has been going well. It’s just that they only
care about eating and drinking before they end up in such a field. It doesn’t
matter to them. Thing!
Sure enough, when everyone heard it, their impression of Tang Xiu'er
immediately changed, "Eating eggs every day? Ji Huai's wife is too prodigal.
No wonder there is no money to repair a house."
People in the village can't eat (肉rou) a few times a year. When Tang Xiu'er
eats eggs and eats (肉rou), the feeling of sympathy decreases a lot, and even
feels too shameful.
"Not really. She is young and my mother is no longer there. Ji Huai was bitten
and lost her life some time ago. Now she still lives in this way, eating cakes
from the town from time to time. How can she survive? "Second sister-in-law is
also helpless.
"The money Ji Huai earned from hunting is not saved to build a house. Such a
trick is a real prodigal." One of the aunts shook her head and said to Ji Er's
wife, "Your mother didn't teach her well when she was alive. This is not a
curse. Home?"
Whose daughter-in-law lives like this? Marry home, can’t let the house be like
a wash?
"Isn't it, the house fell down and didn't repair it, but I ate the only old
hen (killing sha) in the house." Ji Ersao said about this, she didn't know
what she looked like, she was real. Puzzled.
Ji Huai and Tang Xiu'er didn't show any sadness either. Instead, they (killed
sha) the hen to eat, and asked the cattle family to pack their things and
leave after eating.
"Isn't this a nonsense? Your mother has to get out of the coffin when she
knows it!" The aunt said very hard, and she muttered Tang Xiu'er, "If this is
my daughter-in-law, can't you get me to death?"
People are so strange. Just now they sympathized with the two brothers of the
Ji family for bullying Ji Huai. Now, after hearing what Ji's sister-in-law
said, they feel that Ji Huai and his wife "have something to hate about poor
people." No one else is pregnant like Tang Xiu'er.
The women in the village are pregnant with a child, and they never stop for a
day. How can someone eat eggs every day and eat them every other day (meat
rou)? Isn’t that what they deserve to live in a grocery house?
The two couples are simply "delicious and lazy"!
Ji Ersao sighed and answered, "If my mother was there, they wouldn't be like
this. I don't know where I moved, and I didn't say to us. Even if we divide
the house, we are still a family. They just live like this. It definitely
won't work."
Everyone is living a hard life. As long as you hear that Tang Xiu'er eats eggs
every day and often eats (肉rou), everyone will look down and feel that Ji Huai
and the others should live a hard life.
"Definitely not." The aunt sitting on the side of the fan said (qiang) (hard
ying), "Is it possible that Tang Xiu'er is still the young lady in the town?
Eating eggs and eating (meat rou) every day, then I can't stay in the village.
Live, you have to live in the city."
This is naturally ironic, how do people in the village get to the city?
Everyone has been in the village for most of their lives. There are many old
people in the village who have been to the town several times in their lives.
Ji Er's wife listened to them discussing the Ji Huai couple's "ignorance",
although they did not follow along, they were very comfortable. Even Brother
Ji, who originally wanted to leave, his brows eased a lot when he heard
everyone shift their contradictions to Ji Huai and the others.
At the beginning everyone was saying that their brother had treated Ji Huai
badly, was mean to him, and didn't think about brotherhood. But they are also
living a hard life, Ji Huai and the others did not have a hard life.
Speaking of it, they are a bit more bitter! Why did you bully and treat Ji
Huai harshly?
While everyone was discussing, the Niu family came back in an ox cart. The
family was talking and laughing. Ji Huai’s two grandsons secretly stuffed a
small red envelope with Ji Huai, and they were showing off to Aunt Niu with
those copper plates. , And also said to save to buy candied haws to eat.
When everyone saw Aunt Niu and the others came, they had some good deeds.
"Didn't you go to help Ji Huai move? You just came back today?"
"Yes." Aunt Niu was happy.
"Where did you move? Go to another village?" the aunt asked again.
If the house here is not repaired, go to live in another village? I heard that
some villages will have "unpopular households", and those houses are still
good, but no one lives anyway. If you don't have a house, you can only live
there.
When the other party asked, the three of the Ji family were also listening.
It is true that Ji Huai moved out to comply with their wishes. It would be
better if he didn't come back, and the sundries room belonged to them.
Aunt Niu got out of the ox cart with her grandson in her arms and smiled
openly, still very excited, "What village? Jihuai and his wife went to the
town to buy a house."
Speaking of which, she is proud of Ji Mu. See whose son can buy a house in the
town? The previous generation had a talent, and he was no better than Ji Huai.
"Huh? Going to buy a house in the town?" The aunt was blindfolded, and the Ji
family were also stunned.
How much does the house in the town cost? they do not know. They don't even
enter the slightly better teahouse in town, so they usually buy something to
sell in exchange for what they need.
"Yes. The yard is a bit smaller, but it's much better than the country house,
and it's not far from the market." Aunt Niu was also interested and
exaggerated Ji Huai.
"I've all gone to sell houses in the town, hunting is really profitable." The
aunt hadn't recovered.
Aunt Niu explained: "He is also hard hunting. He was injured some time ago,
and one who is not careful can lose his life. But he also made some money, and
the house collapsed, (gan gan) he didn’t hunt anymore, in order to The child's
daughter-in-law, took Xiu'er to the town to find a living."
"That also made a lot of money." The aunt was sour and saw the cured meat
(肉rou) on the ox cart, "Are you here to buy cured meat (rou)? What's the happy
event?"
Cured (rou) is not cheap, and it is only eaten during the Chinese New Year.
"Aren’t we going to help Ji Huai move? It was given by him, and I’m
embarrassed to accept it." Although Aunt Niu said that, she thought so, but
(rou) is precious after all. If Ji Huai gave it, they Home can be happy for a
long time.
"Ji Huai hunting is really profitable." The aunt sighed again, "No wonder his
wife eats eggs every day, and if she has the money to buy a yard, she can
afford to eat (rou). That girl is so destined, so she can enjoy her luck with
Ji Huai. "
The three of the Ji family have been stunned by the news, and they all suspect
that they have heard it wrong.
Ji Huai bought a house in the town?
How is this possible? When Ji's mother fell ill, the family was emptied. It
was definitely not the money left by Ji's mother, so after the separation?
After the separation, the worse they crossed, the better Ji Huai crossed.
When they think about it, they feel that the gap in their hearts is too great
to accept it.
"The third brother went to town without saying a word, and didn't say anything
to us. We still wanted to help him repair the house. Besides, what to do so
far away? Even if there is a little misunderstanding, he is his own brother.
"Ji Ersao still didn't believe it, and incidentally charged Ji Huai'an.
This is to enjoy the blessing alone when you have money. I would rather let
outsiders help than to talk to my brothers. It's unkind.
"Since your mother died, how many big things have happened to your family? The
fortune teller said that the three brothers of your family have hit each
other, the farther away the better, otherwise Ji Huai will keep the money to
build a house. You can't live in it. One piece, if you live in one piece, the
days will not get hotter." Aunt Niu said seriously.
Hearing this, the faces of the three people in the Ji family changed suddenly.
During this period of time, their family affairs were indeed one after
another, and they (deeply) believed it right now.
"Yes, things in your family are not trivial." The auntie also recalled and
asked curiously, "Does the three of the three hit each other? Or is it only Ji
Huai and them?"
The Ji family also wanted to know this answer, but Ji Ersao took the lead,
"Only the third brother is against us, right?"
If this is the case, Ji Huai is the broom star, and if he moves away, they
will have a good time. The key is that they are unable to move away.
"Of course the three of you have restrained each other, and the three of you
have restrained each other." Aunt Niu increased her tone, not letting any of
them go, staring.
She was able to speak (shen), plus the act of ** (lust), no one in the
audience would believe it. Ji Ersao was very anxious, and even trying to
explain it was not convincing at all.
As for Brother Ji and Brother Ji, the two of them were tortured by what
happened during this period of time (fa) and they completely believed.
It turned out that they hit each other. Then you will definitely not be able
to live together next, and someone must move out. And they all hope to be each
other.
