Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 588 Chapter 580 Seven: Staying
Within a radius of ten miles, how could there be any other villages?
Coupled with the fact that it has been raining, it is not convenient to sleep in the wild.

Du Chuanfu looked back at the carriage behind him, he knew that he should go behind, so he didn't have to scare people away.

Song Qiu poked his head out and said, "Go into the village and ask, who is the head of the village? It's a good place to stay."

Du Chuanfu nodded in agreement, got off the mule cart and went into the village. He went to the first house first. There was no need to knock on the door. An old woman happened to be sitting under the porch.

Du Chuanfu intended to face the side without the scar, and asked, "Ma'am, which household is the village chief's?"

The old woman's eyes were a little blurry, her ears were still deaf, she pointed to the opposite side when she heard the words, and said, "That's the third one over there."

Du Chuanfu thanked the old lady, and went to the opposite side.

The third courtyard seemed to be bigger, but the door was closed tightly. Du Chuanfu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knocking on the door, I heard a reply from inside: "Who is it?"

Then there were footsteps, and then the door opened from the inside.

Niu Hansan saw Du Chuanfu outside, he didn't know him, he was a stranger, his face became alert, "Who are you looking for?"

Du Chuanfu said kindly: "This is the village head's house, right? It's getting late, and our master and servant want to stay here for one night. Could it be convenient?"

"You want to stay overnight?" Niu Hansan looked behind Du Chuanfu, but didn't look at many people.

Seeing his eyes, Du Chuanfu hurriedly said: "My master is still waiting for me outside the village, and asked me to come in and ask."

Niu Hansan listened, paused, and said: "You wait a moment, I'll go in and ask my father!"

After all, he turned around and went back, not forgetting to close the door, this vigilance is gone.

Du Chuanfu stood and waited for a while before the door opened again.

Niu Hansan supported a gray-haired old man, who was the head of Niujia Village.

He sized up Du Chuanfu with his presbyopic eyes and said: "There are not many rooms in our house, so we can barely spare one room. How many people do you have as masters and servants?"

Du Chuanfu said: "It's enough to free up a room."

The old village chief nodded after listening, "Okay, then come in!"

Du Chuanfu turned around and went out of the village to answer the question. The door of the village chief's house was still open. Niu Hansan helped his father go back and said, "Father, which room will be vacated for them?"

"Teng Da Niu and their room, send three girls and four girls to our room, the big girl and the second girl go to your room to squeeze with your wife and the second daughter-in-law, and you go to sleep with the second child and bring Bao'er .”

After the old village head made such an arrangement, the two daughters-in-law and their daughter hurried to get busy.

When Song Qiu and the others came, the house had already been tidied up.

Seeing a group of three little girls and only a big man like Du Chuanfu, the village chief's family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They are convenient for others, but they are also afraid of meeting bad people.

These three little girls look similar to the big girls and the second girls, so they can't be bad guys.

But a room, how to sleep?

At first, the old village chief thought that Du Chuanfu's response was because their masters and servants were all men.

After thinking about it, Niu Hansan asked Niu Hansan to put the bamboo cool chair where he took his afternoon nap in their room so that Du Chuanfu could sleep on it.

There is someone staying at home, and this dinner is also provided.

People in their village only eat two meals a day, and the family has already had dinner after the application time.

At this moment, the old village head ordered the two daughters-in-law to go to the kitchen to light up the fire and cook dinner for the guests.

After Niu Hansan's daughter-in-law agreed, she turned back and hesitated holding her apron, "Father, what do you want to eat?"

The glutinous rice they ate for dinner, can't they also cook a pot for the guests?
That's not like entertaining guests.

But at home, there is no rice.

This year's grain is not ready yet.

The old village head thought for a while, and called Niu Hansan to tell him: "Go to Niu Dawang's house and borrow a small bowl of white noodles from them, add some corn noodles, steam a basket of dry steamed buns, and borrow some eggs from them. saute."

Niu Dawang's family has a lot of labor, and he goes to the town to do part-time jobs all year round, and his life is always better than other families in the village.

They are the only ones in the village who can borrow these things.

After Niu Hansan answered the words, he went out.

The earthen house is very simple, much worse than the small courtyard of the wooden house before Song Qiu's house. There is nothing in the house except a fairly wide bamboo bed.

Sitting tight inside, feeling uncomfortable all over, Ah Ling opened the door to get out for some air, when Niu Hansan came back from the outside with a bowl of white noodles and four eggs in his hand.

Couldn't help turning around and talking to Song Qiu.

"This Niujia Village is indeed quite poor. The village head's family has to borrow rice from others."

They used to know that no matter which village it was, the head of the village usually had a better life.

"Maybe the family has less labor and no craftsmanship?"

Look at this family first, the old village head is old, only two sons, one leg is still lame, and then the grandchildren, there is no kid, they seem to be girls.

The boy who was playing with the older girl was still very young.

"Let's give some money when we leave tomorrow morning, don't we need money to stay in the inn? You can't let people borrow things for nothing."

The village head's family seemed to be having a hard time, and Song Qiu didn't want them to come and stay for one night. They borrowed white flour to entertain them, and then it was difficult.

The rain stopped outside, and there was a cool breeze in the evening, but the house was sweltering and hot.

Even Song Qiu couldn't bear it, the three of them simply went out of the house, and sat on the eaves steps outside, enjoying the cool breeze, which made them feel more comfortable.

The two daughters-in-law of the village chief quickly prepared a meal and invited them to eat in the hall.

The staple food is a small dustpan of white flour mixed with corn flour steamed buns.

The dishes are vegetables picked from my own vegetable garden, a bowl of stewed long beans with eggplant, a bowl of pickled courgettes, and a large bowl of egg loofah soup.

The old village head had been sitting in the main room, and when he saw Song Qiu and the others coming in, he smiled and greeted them to eat, "The food is simple, I hope the guests don't dislike it."

"Where is it, we are the ones who troubled your family." Song Qiu returned with a smile, and invited the village chief to sit down.

But the village chief waved his hand, saying that they had already eaten, and told Song Qiu and the others to eat it themselves.

At this moment, the sky had gradually dimmed, and if there was any further delay, the room would be invisible at all, and one had to eat in the dark, so Song Qiu would not be polite, and sat down with Ah Ling and the others to eat.

The weather was hot, and Song Qiu had a small appetite. He only ate a steamed bun and a bowl of loofah soup and he was full.

The three of Lihua ate a little more, but they kept their stomachs in. Therefore, the four of them ate about the same amount of vegetables, and there was still half of the dustpan buns left.

After eating, they didn't trouble them to boil water, Song Qiu and the others washed their faces with cold water, wiped them off, and went to sleep.

Du Chuanfu thanked Niu Hansan for the bamboo rocking chair, and slept on the mule cart by himself, neither side nor side was cold.

The three of Song and Qiu shared a bed, and the room was hot, with the windows open, and many mosquitoes flew in, buzzing and biting.

The three of them were not asleep, and they simply got up before dawn.

"Before the sun comes out, it's cool, let's go early!"

Du Chuanfu got into the car and opened the door to drive out.

Niu Hansan, who heard the commotion, saw that they were leaving so early, saying that they were busy on their way, so he didn't stay long, sent them away, and came back and knocked on the window to let the big girl and the others go back to sleep in their own room, the four of them squeezed together Also hot.

As soon as the big girl went back to the room, she cried out.

On their bed, there was a string of copper plates, no more than fifty!
Later, when he found out, the old village head asked his son to chase after him with a copper coin and return it to others. Their hospitality is so simple, how dare they ask for so much money?
But Niu Hansan didn't know where Song Qiu and his party were going, and naturally they couldn't catch up after chasing them, so they had to give up and come back.
