Network New Liao Zhai

Chapter 259

"Hehe, it looks like you guys grew up in the city... have you never peeled corn?"

Guo Qiqi admitted: "I thought it was all stripped by machines."

"The corn dealers in the town have threshers, they can directly collect corn cobs and use the machine to thresh them, but the purchase price of corn is lower, and they have to remove the cost of the machine, right? Haha, people in our countryside are like this, and some of them are idle at home. I can’t help you with anything else. These two hands are not bad, so I earned back the threshing money. Hehe... Axiang is in charge of the house inside and out, Now that Ah Hui is also out to earn money, I can't hold them back."

Guo Qiqi felt a little sad when she heard it.Here's a man and a father trying to prove he's worth something and labor never counts...

"Well, save yourself."

Xu Feng agreed.

"If my leg is not injured, I can take you around and have a look. Maybe I can go to the mountain to hunt some wild rabbits. Now..."

"Uncle, you don't have to worry, as long as Xiao Ou takes us with you.

"Well, Xiao Ou is a good kid, sensible, and good at studying, but his father left early... You are her seniors, please take care of her at school."

This is a man who is not very good at words.

But every word he said came from the heart.

This is also a strong, optimistic and kind person.

As Xiao Ou said on the way here, this family is kind and simple, good people, but why can't good people get good rewards?If anything happened to Ah Hui, she couldn't imagine what would happen to this family... Just like when her father passed away, her mother and she felt that the sky was about to fall.

Guo Qiqi prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Ah Hui would be fine.She had never been so eager to hope that Zhu Yan's judgment was wrong.She hopes that Zhu Yan and Wang Kai can find A Hui smoothly, so that this troubled family will not have any more twists and turns.

But Zhu Yan's performance made her understand how slim this hope is.

Although Zhu Yan didn't say clearly what happened to Ahui, but from their going to Inner Mongolia, from her coming here, and from the matters explained by Wang Kai, she knew that something happened to Ahui.

Thinking of this, Guo Qiqi suddenly felt that she could no longer face Yang Shengchang.The father who didn't know what happened to his son may still be thinking that his son will come back soon, and he is trying his best to reduce the burden on the family...

Guo Qiqi wanted to leave the room as soon as possible, she felt the air was dull, she was afraid that Yang Shengchang would turn the topic to his son again.

She didn't know what to say.

She could only peel the corn hard, rubbing her hands painfully.

Fortunately, Xiao Ou came over soon.

"Sister Qiqi, brother Feng, you can go there."

"Okay." Guo Qiqi stood up quickly.

"Uncle Yang, we have passed, and you should rest early."

He went out of the door as if fleeing.

Standing outside the door, welcoming the fluttering snowflakes, let out a long breath.

It's so uncomfortable.

Xiaoou’s stilted building is basically the same as other stilted buildings in the village, a typical structure in the southern mountainous area.Diaojiaolou has three floors, the bottom floor is where animals are fed, the second floor is where people live, and the third floor is where food and other sundries are stored.

Guo Qiqi and Xu Feng followed Xiao Ou up the second floor from the next staircase.

Walk through a corridor and enter the main room.

The main room is the center of the whole family.The floor of the overhanging part is made of wood, and the other half of the floor is made of local stone slabs. There is a firepit in the middle, which is a place for the whole family to keep warm and chat.

Now a red flame has been ignited in the firepit, and there is still a pot hanging on it, burning hot water.

Aunt Ah Xiang said: "Although the quilt has been dried in the summer, it has been so long. Put it on the fire and bake it to make it mildewy and warmer. You sleep a little longer tomorrow, and I won't come to call you. When will you wake up?" Come over for dinner anytime."

"Okay, thank you, auntie, and you all go back to rest early."

"Okay, I'm over there."

Seeing that Xiaoqin was still reluctant to leave, she urged: "Let's go, Xiaoqin."

Xiaoou knew that Xiaoqin wanted to sleep with her. She used to do this when she came back from vacation. Xiaoqin likes to listen to her talking about things outside.

But not tonight.

"Xiaoqin, come back tomorrow and take Sister Qiqi and Brother Feng to play in the village, okay!"

"Okay." Xiaoqin reluctantly followed Axiang downstairs.

Xiao Ou closed the door, turned around and said to Guo Qiqi and Xu Feng, "Sister Qiqi, brother Feng, are you sleepy? Brother Feng, you sleep in that room, and sister Qiqi and I live in this room.

Xu Feng: "Not busy, let's go through the things to do tomorrow."

Guo Qiqi: "It's not bad to have a symposium around the fire pit."

Xiao Ou: "If you are afraid of the cold, how about we spread the quilt by the firepit and sleep?"

"That's a good idea."

The three of them spread out the quilt, and Xu Feng couldn't help rolling on it, "Haha, did I make the floor quilt during military training?"

Xiao Ou: "Sister Qiqi, Brother Feng, you must not be used to it!"

Think of Simmons in Xiaobailou, the sofa.

"It's okay, I can do as the Romans do"

Xu Feng: "What is this? I have been trained in wilderness survival, and that is what I should do."

Xiao Ou: "From the perspective of modern urbanites, this place is uninhabitable. In the past, there was no water, electricity, or any material enjoyment. Every day is busy for survival. Although water and electricity are available, it is still lagging behind. But The villagers don't think so. They say that this is the place where they can live freely. The city is just a place where they earn money. When they earn enough money, they will come back when they are old and unable to move. Because the city is not their city. , there are no such green mountains and green waters in the city, no such neighbors, no smell of soil, no home-brewed corn wine. They think that the village is already very good, with water and electricity, TV, and telephone , and access to cars, it is much better than in the past, they are very contented.

Most of them are really not demanding.Just like Ah Hui and his family.

Sister Qiqi, you don’t know, just now Aunt Axiang asked me if I found Ahui, and when will I be back?

I really don't know how to answer?

They always believed that Ah Hui was working in Jiangcheng, they were really kind,

Never doubted anything,

Sister Zhu Zhu said something happened to Ah Hui,

you say……

What will happen to Fai? "

Guo Qiqi couldn't answer this question either.

She thought that Zhu Yan must know, but she didn't say anything.

Thinking about it now, it wasn't that she wasn't sure to tell it, it must be that the truth was too cruel.

She chose to remain silent.

Inner Mongolia is much farther away, Zhu Zhu and the others are probably still on the train at this time, I don’t know if they have slept.It is estimated that the closer to the destination, the harder it is to sleep.

"Sister Qiqi, what are you thinking?"

"I didn't think about anything, go to sleep, I have to do business tomorrow."

The three of them gradually fell asleep, and the warm flames in the firepit kept burning, blocking the wind, snow and severe cold outside the house.

It was dawn, and the bright white light outside came in through the window.Guo Qiqi opened her eyes and saw that new firewood had been added to the firepit, and the spout of the pot above was steaming. Xiao Ou, who was sleeping next to her, had already woken up, and only Xu Feng, who was opposite, was still sound asleep.

"Sister Qiqi, you are awake, come and see the heavy snow."

Xiao Ou pushed the door in from the other side of the main room.

Guo Qiqi got up and followed her out. This is a big balcony.

This is a characteristic of Diaojiaolou. Each house has a large balcony overlooking the outside scene, and there are beauties to rely on.Standing on the balcony, looking up, the snow has stopped, and there is already a world covered in silver outside.All the roofs are covered with snow, and the whole village is like a world of fairy tales.

"Yeah, it's so beautiful, peaceful, serene."

Guo Qiqi exclaimed.
