Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11085

"Anyway, no matter what, these are all the Fifth House's affairs. As long as the Fifth House has no objection, it's none of our business." Yang Ruoqing said again.

"But tonight she criticized Dabao in public, and I couldn't stand it. I wanted to give her a warning."

"If you don't beat me, then in the future when there are many people in Old Yang's family, all the noise will be hers."

Xiaohua nodded silently, "Men work outside and women work inside. It's best for women not to stand out too much, especially in front of others, they should give their men face."

"Hua'er, you and I are thinking the same thing." Yang Ruoqing said, "A man's face is given by us women, but a woman's confidence also comes from a man."

"If a man loses face and is treated as a nobody, people will look down on him."

"If people look down on your man, how can they give face to you, the woman behind him? Aren't you even more worthless?"

So it is true that husband and wife are grasshoppers on the same rope.

As the two were talking, they quickly passed through the village and walked onto the pond dam.

"We've crossed the dam ahead. I'll carry you."

Yang Ruoqing took Jun'er from Xiaohua's arms and held him in her arms.

I just came all the way from the village, and I met many villagers who were out greeting each other during the New Year. There were also children playing and setting off firecrackers in front of their yards, so the road was indeed much more lively than usual.

However, when we were almost at the village entrance, there was still nearly a hundred meters to the courtyard gate of the third room, and this section of the journey had to pass through the village entrance.

At the entrance of the village there is a big maple tree, a large pond, and a pond dam about a hundred meters long leading to the road ahead. The third branch and the Luo family are both on the left side of the road.

Considering that this place was relatively deserted and they had to cross a dam with ponds on both sides, Yang Ruoqing took the initiative to hold the young Jun'er in her arms.

She has a stronger fire element than Xiaohua, and was more murderous in her early years. On a night like this, keeping the child in her arms will make it less likely for him to be disturbed by evil spirits.

There is a reason for doing this, because similar things have happened to other families in the village.

When the two of them were taking Jun'er past the old maple tree, Jun'er suddenly struggled out of Yang Ruoqing's arms, raised his head, and looked straight at the old maple tree behind him.

Yang Ruoqing simply pushed his head down to prevent him from looking.

As a result, the little fellow didn't listen and raised his head, pointing at the old maple tree and saying, "There is an old man..."

hiss……

Before Yang Ruoqing could do anything, she heard Xiaohua beside her gasp.

"No, nothing." Yang Ruoqing said, and she changed Jun'er's side, hugged him in her arms, and quickened her pace...

"Sister, Jun'er just now..."

"The kid is just talking nonsense, do you take it seriously?" Yang Ruoqing said in a casual tone.

Xiaohua said nothing.

Sudden--

"cough cough"

A cough came from behind, the sound was a little old and hoarse, as if it came from an old man's throat. Only a throat that had been smoked by dry tobacco and strong liquor for many years could make such a cough.

The sound was very clear. Not only did it reach the ears of Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua, but they could even tell from the direction of the sound that it was coming from above their heads behind them.

In other words, the old man who was coughing was not standing on the ground, but on the old maple tree!

Thinking back to what Jun Er said just now, there is an old man on the maple tree...

I grass!

It was so weird that Yang Ruoqing felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her coccyx, and then from her coccyx to her whole body like an electric current. Xiaohua beside her even staggered.

Yang Ruoqing grabbed Xiaohua's arm and said, "Be steady, don't fall into the pond."

Just like that, Yang Ruoqing held Jun'er in one hand and Xiaohua in the other, and walked quickly past the pond towards the village entrance.

The road of about a hundred meters felt extremely long.

It was not until the light of the red lanterns hanging under the lintel of the courtyard gate of the third room shone over and the two sisters stepped into the courtyard that the previous feeling of being watched from behind finally dissipated by half.

When she walked into the brightly lit main hall, she saw that not only Mrs. Sun stayed at home, but also Mrs. Sun and Wang Cuilian were there.

Three women sat in three fire barrels, chatting and eating melon seeds. The room was warm.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua returning with Jun'er, Da Sun looked at them with a smile. Wang Cuilian asked Yang Ruoqing, "Is Tuanyuan not back yet?"

Sun came down directly from the fire barrel and quickly stretched out her hands to pick up Jun'er.

As a result, when Jun'er arrived in Sun's hands, he looked very excited and couldn't wait to say, "There is an old man on the old maple tree."

"Ah? What? What did our Jun'er say?" Sun didn't understand and looked at Yang Ruoqing and Xiaohua in surprise.

Yang Ruoqing looked a little embarrassed.

Xiaohua, on the other hand, turned pale, trembled all over, lowered her head, and kept peeking into the yard behind her, as if there was something very scary lurking in the curtain of the yard outside.

Her abnormality also attracted the attention of Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Da Sun, and Wang Cuilian.

"What's wrong with Huaer? Why does she look so scared?" asked Sun.

Yang Ruoqing frowned, still thinking about how to say it so as not to scare them.

At this time, Jun'er said again: "Grandpa stood on the old maple tree and did this to me."

He scratched his eyes and mouth with his little hands and made a face.

Sun and Wang Cuilian looked puzzled and were even amused by Jun'er's funny actions.

Xiaohua fell to the ground with a thud, and all the blood was drained from her face.

Now, Sun and the others were frightened, "What happened to Hua'er?"

"Hurry up, help them into the fire barrel."

……

After a bowl of tea.

The atmosphere in the main room was a little tense, and the expressions of Sun and Wang Cuilian were not much different from Xiaohua's.

Jun'er had been coaxed to sleep by Yang Ruoqing, who held him in her arms and sat him in the fire barrel to keep him warm.

Sun stayed beside Xiaohua, holding her shoulders tightly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, everything will be fine when you get home."

Wang Cuilian also stood on the other side to protect Xiaohua.

Neither Sun nor Wang Cuilian dared to look towards the door of the main hall.

Da Sun stood up and walked to the table, poured a bowl of hot tea for Xiaohua and put it in her hand: "It's okay, it's okay, drink some hot tea to warm your body."

"Thank you, aunt." Xiaohua took the hot tea, held it in her palm, and recovered a little.

The eldest Sun bravely went to the main hall door, looked outside for a few times, and said, "It's okay, it must be the kids talking nonsense. It's New Year's Eve tonight, and firecrackers are set off everywhere on New Year's Eve. The yang energy is very strong!"

Yang Ruoqing also nodded, agreeing with what the eldest Sun said: "Indeed, there are people in and outside the village. Dad and the fourth and fifth uncles are still playing at the old house. The children are also here. It's very lively everywhere. We must have heard it wrong or seen it wrongly."
