Xu Shouliang surrounded the chicken circle for his niece, and Ningxiang put the twenty chickens and two little yellow gooses in it.

The chickens were chirping around, and the two little yellow gossips seemed much more steady and walked slowly.

Amu stood at the gate of the fence and looked, with his mouth raised, as if he had forgotten his uncle and aunt who had just left.

Mrs. Li started preparing lunch, and smoke rose up. Ningxiang touched her brother's head, went back to the room to change into her skirt, washed Pan's skirt, hung it on the clothes rail, and walked to the east courtyard after washing. Seeing her cousin squatting in the kitchen to select beans, she also came over.

"Xiang'er is not allowed to help them, do you know?" Li told her in a worried manner while burning the fire, afraid that her niece would be soft-hearted.

Ningxiang smiled at her, "Don't worry, aunt, I'm responsible. It's just the clothes of the second aunt of the Lu family. Please help me get them back?"

Li guessed that his niece was avoiding the three brothers of the Lu family. Although he was determined to match his niece and the second son of the Lu family, he felt that it was not good to be too proactive, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll go after I have sex in the afternoon."

As my mother talked, Xu Huai came back, wearing a coarse gray cloth clothes, with muddy tricks on her trousers legs, her handsome face turned slightly red, and the beads of sweat were shining by the sun. Someone built a house in the village south, and he and Xu Shouliang went to help. The father and the other party could earn forty cents a day, but this kind of work was hard to come by and could not be encountered every day.

"Where is your father?" Li asked his son in wonder.

Xu Qiuer scooped another basin of water and took it out to wash his brother's face.

Xu Huai rolled up his sleeves and said, "I met Uncle Liu when I came back and asked my father to come over. I don't know what happened."

Li thought for a while and said with a smile: "This month, his youngest son is going to get married. I must ask your father to come and help."

When marrying a wife, you have to hold a banquet. The village is not big, there are only a hundred households. Almost every family is in charge. When eating the meal, those who are close to each other pay more are usually the whole family. If you are far away, you will be the man who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is in trouble, and the husband must go there for two days.

"Xiang'er hasn't had a wedding banquet for several years, and this time she's going to be lively and lively." Li said to her niece with a smile.

Ningxiang smiled, picked up the last bean and said, "I won't go, this big person is now."

"What a big deal? As long as there is no engagement, the girls of the seventeen or eighteen can go." Li immediately opposed. The niece should show her face in front of the villagers more now, so that everyone knows that the niece has returned from redeem. Seeing that the wives are still talking nonsense and show their faces, someone came to propose marriage.

His niece is so good, Li needs to find a husband for her niece.

Ningxiang didn't reason with her aunt, but she made up her mind to not go. Over the years, she went further and further with the villagers, and her childhood playmates didn't talk much. Maybe they thought she had become a city girl and was out of place with them. Ningxiang felt unfamiliar with them even when she saw them. It was impossible to say who was right or wrong, but the relationship was fading.

After a break in the afternoon, Amu slept on the kang, Ningxiang quietly took out the peach wood comb that Lu Cheng gave her.

The brand new comb smells the fragrance of peach wood.

Ningxiang gently stroked it, Lu Cheng's handsome face appeared in front of her, and his words "I'll think of him if I comb it for a while."

Why can he say anything?

Born to be cheeky.

He was scolding him for being dishonest, but he smiled unconsciously. Ningxiang sat in front of the edge of the kang, untied her long black and soft hair, tilted her head and gently combed it, thinking about nothing, quietly enjoying the rare tranquility.

But the Zhang family, ten miles away, did not have the good mood of their niece. While her husband, daughter and youngest son were all asleep, she went to the west wing. She walked to the door and reached out to push her hand, but she couldn't push it away at once.

"Honglin?" Cui called out in a low voice.

There were three rooms in total, and they were all tidied up for Zhang Honglin to use. The southernmost part was used as a study, the bedroom in the middle, and the northernmost part was a hall. Cui and others came to find Zhang Honglin and entered from the hall.

In the bedroom, Zhang Honglin was wearing a middle-clothed shirt on the upper body, covered with a thin quilt, half leaning against the pillow, holding a booklet in one hand, and hiding the other hand under the quilt, not knowing what he was doing, her fair face was red in a strange way. When he heard his mother calling him, Zhang Honglin couldn't help but frown, and while speeding up his movements, he sang: "Wait a minute, I'll come after writing this word."

Perhaps because my mother was caught in doing bad things, it was even more exciting. After saying that, she groaned softly.

Cui could not think of what the eldest son had really done, and waited patiently under the eaves.

After a while, the door opened. She looked up and saw that the eldest son's beautiful face turned slightly red. She thought he was too busy studying in the summer and advised with heartache: "Why don't you sleep at noon? Don't you usually say that you are combining work and rest? Honglin, I know that you are hardworking, but your health is the most important. It's not too late for us to rest and study after we have a good rest."

Zhang Honglin was not guilty and invited his mother in.

Cui was going inside directly. Zhang Honglin was afraid that his mother would smell the smell, so he asked her to sit outside without any trace and pour tea for his mother filially, "Do you have something to do to me?"

"It's not your cousin's business." Cui said irritably, holding a tea bowl and looking at the eldest son with a suspicious look, "She said the prince is upright, but the more I think about it, the more I think it's her polite words. We have never seen the prince. Isn't it as her as she says? I think she just remembers the grudges of that year and deliberately doesn't help us."

When talking about the hospital examination, the heat on Zhang Honglin's face gradually faded.

The college entrance examination will take two exams in three years, and next year will be the autumn examination. If he missed this autumn examination, he would have to wait three more years. Although there are also many people who participated in the autumn examination in their forties and fifties, Zhang Honglin did not want to be compared with those who were destined to have no future. Obtaining fame and fortune three years early means entering the officialdom three years ahead of time. Even if he is just a trivial small official, he will be better than wasting three years of experience.

So this year he must pass the scholar exam.

Zhang Honglin was originally very confident in himself, but after last year's blow, he felt that it would be better to be safe this time. There was no way at home, so he had to rely on himself, but his cousin had something to do with Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion. Why didn't he seize such a god-given opportunity?

Looking at his mother who had always been mean and stingy, Zhang Honglin pondered slightly and said, "My mother refused to borrow money from her cousin back then. It was human nature to hold a hatred for you. It would be better to do this. In a few days, I will go with my younger brother and sister. I will not mention pleading for mercy. Just leave as an ordinary relative and eliminate my cousin's vigilance."

How smart a fourteen-year-old girl can be, he doesn't believe that he can't coax her.
