Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

The second sister-in-law Xiao just came out with a wooden basin and was about to scoop water. When she heard her father-in-law's words, she stopped and stood behind the kitchen door. She didn't go out until Xiao Le's figure left from the courtyard door.

"Father."

Second Wife Xiao lowered her head halfway and called out.

"Ah."

Father Xiao responded and didn't go to see her. When he walked to the pigsty to feed, he found that the pigsty and the chicken pen were clean, and the pigs had almost finished eating the pig food in the stone trough.

"Why is the old lady stealing my job today?"

Feeding the pigs and cleaning the pigsty and chicken pens have always been what Xiao's father does every morning.

It was just dawn, but many people in the village were disturbed.

Now is the time when weeds grow in the field, and everyone is busy weeding.

Most people want to get up early to work, and farmers can't stay idle.

Once the head of the family gets up, the rest of the juniors have to get up too, otherwise they will be scolded as lazy.

If this girl who has not left the cabinet is scolded like this, if others hear it, it will be hard to find a marriage.

There were also many people carrying water in the morning, and Xiao Le met many people along the way.

Originally, he was sweet-mouthed, so Xiao Le smiled and greeted everyone when he saw him. Many people were surprised when they saw Xiao Le carrying a bucket.

After all, no one in this village knows that the youngest of the Xiao family, but the treasure of the family, is the last one to go to work in the fields on weekdays. Today, not only did he get up early, but he also went to the river to carry water.

It can also make a lot of gossips in the village spread for a while.

Xiao Le did not follow everyone to carry water in the most frequented area of ​​the village.

He walked to the back mountain. There were many families living by the river in the lower reaches of the village. When the villagers washed their clothes, they would take their clothes and beat them with soap horns and wooden mallets by the river. It's a little farther away, but there's no one on the upper reaches of the river.

The water is also cleaner.

Xiao Le picked up two buckets full of water and walked back slowly.

Care about the three-way intersection, a little lady in a blue dress and carrying a bamboo basket suddenly "performed" a flat fall in front of Xiao Le.

Xiao Le stopped immediately.

There was a distance of several people between the two.

"Sister-in-law Xue, are you okay?"

Xiao Le asked softly when the little lady raised her head with pain on her face.

"The foot is fine, it seems to be sprained," Fourth Sister Xue's eyes were reddish, her eyes dodged, she did not dare to look at Xiao Le, her thin body trembled slightly, as if she was a little scared.

Xiao Le looked at her quietly for a while, seeing that Mrs. Xue's head was almost buried in the ground.

Then put down the bucket.

Fourth Aunt Xue's tears dripped down the back of her hands when she heard the movement, she was full of retreat, but when she thought of the threat from that beast at home, she closed her eyes in despair.

The conceivable thing did not happen.

The sound of Xiao Le's footsteps gradually drifted away, not coming towards her at all.

Fourth Aunt Xue trembled and looked up secretly, only to see that Xiao Le's pole and bucket were still in place, but he was no longer at the fork in the road.

She froze for a moment, propped herself up anxiously and looked around.

Why is it different from what that beast thought?

For a moment, she didn't know whether to be happy or afraid.

Thinking of the beatings and the screams of the children upon returning home, Mrs. Xue's face turned even paler in an instant.

"Yes, Aunt Liu, it's not very convenient for me."

At this time, Xiao Le had already walked quickly to the house closest to the fork in the road, looked for the aunt of that family, and asked her to help fourth sister-in-law Xue.

There was a smile in Aunt Liu's eyes, and she followed him to the fork in the road, and said, "You are a clever kid, you know how to avoid suspicion."

If you meet a boring person, maybe you will go up and help him up.

"Auntie, what are you talking about?" Xiao Le was a little shy, "After all, Fourth Brother Xue and I have a feud. I am afraid that he will misunderstand, and it will be a trivial matter to chase me. I am afraid that he will make random guesses and hurt Fourth Aunt Xue."

"Then Xue Si..."

Aunt Liu frowned when she thought of the other party's character, "He is also not satisfied, such a good lady gave birth to two children for him, why can't she treat her?"

Xiao Le also sighed, but didn't answer.

Fourth Aunt Xue, who heard Aunt Liu's voice, hurriedly lowered her head and rubbed her right ankle with one hand, looking like she really hurt her foot.

"I'm sorry," Aunt Liu quickly stepped forward and carefully helped him up. Mrs. Xue cried out in pain and quickly turned her hand to her chest. Pull the sleeves up.

I saw fourth sister-in-law Xue's arms were covered with burns!

"brute!"

Aunt Liu trembled all over.

Fourth Aunt Xue choked out sobs, and hurriedly pulled down her sleeves, "Aunt Xie Liu, I, I have something else to do, so let's go first."

After finishing speaking, he even forgot to pretend that his foot was injured, and trotted all the way with the basket on his shoulders, disappearing in the direction of the fork in the road.

"This……"

Aunt Liu frowned even tighter.

And Xiao Le, who was standing far away, saw Mrs. Xue leaving, and stepped forward with a puzzled expression, "She doesn't seem to be hurt."

"I'm hurt," Aunt Liu didn't dare to think about why the other party pretended to be hurt, and pulled the corners of her mouth, "You should go back quickly, maybe the house is waiting for water."

"Okay, Aunt Xie Liu."

Xiao Le glanced at the untouched bucket and pole, picked them up and left.

Aunt Liu stood there for a while before returning home.

Her youngest daughter came forward curiously, "Mother, why do you look so ugly?"

"It's nothing." Aunt Liu looked at her slim daughter gently, "You're getting married soon. Have you finished your wedding dress?"

The girl's cheeks flushed suddenly, and she trot into the room.

Seeing this, Aunt Liu also had a smile on her face, but when she thought of the burn on Fourth Aunt Xue's arm, she couldn't help shaking her head, "It's a crime."

After returning home, Xiao Le poured water into the jar, washed his hands, and then took out the bedding in his room to dry.

"The sun hasn't seen yet, so you hugged it out?"

Mother Xiao came out of the kitchen with pickles in her hand.

"Isn't this afraid of forgetting?"

Xiao Le smiled and walked forward to take the pickle bowl in Xiao's mother's hand, "I met Fourth Sister Xue when I came back."

"Oh?"

Mother Xiao was taken aback, "Is she going to fetch water too?"

"No," Xiao Le shook his head, "She fell down, and I asked Aunt Liu to help her up."

"Well done," Mother Xiao nodded hurriedly, "You have to avoid suspicion."

They are not married yet, even if they are married, it is not easy to make a move.

And Mrs. Xiao, who was just about to leave the kitchen with porridge, happened to hear their conversation.

Second Aunt Xiao bit her red lips, recalling what happened last night, she really couldn't believe that my uncle would be so "sensible."

"What are you doing standing there?"

As soon as Xiao's mother turned around, she saw Second Sister Xiao standing stupidly at the door of the kitchen, she didn't know what she was thinking, she frowned immediately.

Second Sister Xiao hurried to the main room with the porridge.

They eat in the main room.

"The work on the second side of the old one will be finished today." Speaking of the second brother Xiao who hadn't seen him for a few days, Xiao's mother smiled a little more on her face. When an egg comes out, you fry it with leeks, the second child loves it."

"Eh."

The second sister-in-law Xiao who was gnawing on the cornbread hastily agreed.

She tried her best to calm herself and not pay attention to her brother-in-law's behavior.

But when she thought that her in-laws were at the dinner table, and her brother-in-law would not do anything deviant no matter how bold he was, she felt more at ease.

Thinking of her husband coming back today, Second Aunt Xiao's eyes were slightly sore, and she stuffed a big mouthful of cornbread into her mouth to stop her choking.

Xiao Le didn't feel comfortable until she finished eating and left the table in two or three strokes.

"Father, mother, second sister-in-law, I'll go to the ground first."

After speaking, he picked up the hoe and went to his own field.

Xiao's mother asked him to go quickly with a smile, and then looked at Xiao's father, "I woke up early this morning, cleaned up the bedding, cleaned the pigsty, and fed the pigs."

"Did he do it?"

Father Xiao laughed, "I'm still wondering, why are you robbing me of my job?"

"The child is in a hurry, so he is also diligent," Mother Xiao smiled.

Father Xiao had the original expression on his face, "It's time."

It's just that the second child just got married, and the family's money is a little tight right now, so I'm afraid the child will have to wait.

Second Wife Xiao kept her head down and did not participate in their conversation.

Besides, Mrs. Xue, endured the pain and found wild vegetables and returned home. Before reaching the door, she saw her eldest daughter and the younger daughter crying outside the courtyard.

She quickly quickened her pace, and when the two little girls saw their mother coming back, they stumbled over to ask her to hug her.

"Hit! Daddy hit!"

The youngest daughter, who just learned to speak, was crying.

Fourth Aunt Xue's eyes turned red, she pulled away her little daughter's hand, and her palm was already swollen.

Then he pulled the choked-up eldest daughter over, and her cheeks were also swollen.

"My poor child!"

Fourth Aunt Xue's heart felt like a knife was twisted, and she just took the two children into her arms.

A lame, stubble-faced man stood at the gate of the courtyard.

"How are things going?"

Fourth Aunt Xue tightly guarded the two children, and the children had stopped crying at this moment.

"He, he didn't help me, he didn't even come over, but turned around and asked Aunt Liu to help me, I, I..."

Seeing that the man's face became more and more ugly, Fourth Aunt Xue also began to tremble all over.

"You can't handle such a little thing!"

Xue Silang limped forward and grabbed fourth sister-in-law Xue by the collar. Although he was lame, he was tall, but fourth sister-in-law Xue was thin and small, so he dragged him directly into the house.

The eldest daughter hurriedly wiped away her tears, and dragged her younger sister to hide inside.

Fourth Aunt Xue's screams kept coming from the yard.

The neighbors couldn't stand it anymore and came to dissuade them, but the result was the same as the previous few times. Not only did they not persuade them, they were even punched by Xue Silang a few times!

"I discipline my wife, who let you meddle!"

"If you hit again, you will die!"

"I was separated in order to marry her! Can't I still beat her?"

Xue Silang said sharply.

The visitor saw fourth sister-in-law Xue's mouth was bloody and she had a new wound on her arm, and couldn't help sighing.

"You finally married the lady who came in, why can't you treat her well?"

"Who knew she gave birth to two girls in a row? Get out quickly, I don't care if you are an elder or a woman, if you hurt you, don't rely on me!"
