Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 60 Apprenticeship to learn art (seeking monthly ticket)

"It's freezing cold, old man, take this hot water to drink on the road." Xu Yue said with a light smile.

Holding the warm bamboo tube in his hands, the old man looked at the girl's sincere face and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, thank you girl."

Xu Yue waved her hand, signaling him not to be polite, and sent the old man to the door.

The old man put the bamboo tube on the cart, pulled up the cart and continued to sell. Because of this little warmth on his originally sad face, there was a faint smile, and his tone of voice sounded a lot tougher.

Xu Yue stood by the door and watched him go away, then looked away.

But she didn't want to, she was about to close the door and enter the house, when she turned around, she saw a lot of people at the door of the house, which startled her.

There were seven or eight men, the older one was thirty or forty years old, and the younger one was twelve or thirteen years old. They seemed to be about the same age as Xu Dalang.

They were wearing thin jackets, and the cuffs and trouser legs were ripped into strands. They all looked like they hadn't washed their hair or face for several months. Their hair was unkempt, which made their black and white eyes shine extraordinarily.

They stood in front of the door with chickens, ducks, geese and fish in their hands, staring at the little girl Xu Yue.

The first time Xu Yue recovered, she yelled into the courtyard: "Brother!!!"

The girl's voice was shrill and piercing, and the seven or eight people frowned in unison, looking even more fierce.

Xu Dalang flashed over like the wind, just in time to catch a glimpse of the fierce appearance of these people, he embraced the little Xu Yue at the door, and yelled fiercely at the group of people.

This inhuman threatening growl made those seven or eight people take a big step back in fright, and then looked at Xu Dalang in horror.

"Who are you? What are you doing in front of my house!"

Xu Yue, who was held in her arms by her brother, had a protective umbrella, and asked confidently.

Xu Erniang from the room was drawn out by the movement, her shoes were not on properly, she was holding a small wooden stick in her hand, she rushed out and waved it at the group of people.

After a crisp sound of bamboo sticks throwing meat, the door was full of chickens, ducks and geese flying around, and there were wailing sounds of pain.

The scene fell into chaos, leaving Xu Yue dumbfounded.

Who said that mages don't have fighting power, obviously her sister is very tough!

Xu Erniang held a small wooden stick with one hand on her hip and pointed at those men who were chasing chickens, ducks and geese while screaming in pain, and said sinisterly:

"What are you people doing? Do you want to bully my sister? I want to curse you severely!"

This movement drew all the neighbors out. Mrs. Tong, who was diagonally opposite the door, only saw the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, but did not see Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xu. She felt bad and told her two children to stay at home obediently. , hurried over.

But before she walked out of the gate of her house, she saw the Xu family's second mother waving a small wooden stick and shocked the audience alone, and her footsteps stopped involuntarily.

At this time, the men who were beaten by Xu Erniang with a small wooden stick all showed pitiful expressions of being wronged when they heard her words.

They hugged the chickens, ducks and geese that they had managed to catch back, and while shocked by the ferocity of the three brothers and sisters of the Xu family, they explained:

"We are not bad people, we are here to learn from a teacher!"

"Learning from a teacher?" Xu Erniang showed a confused look.

The few people hurriedly nodded and explained, and then the three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue realized that this group of people did not look like good people, and the people who appeared at the door of the house sneakily came to ask their father to learn how to work on the kang.

Moreover, they are neighbors who live on the same street as them. It's just that the three brothers and sisters don't usually go out to socialize, and they have never seen these people.

"Really?" Xu Erniang asked distrustfully, looking at the neighbors who were watching.

As a result, all the neighbors nodded, indicating that they knew the eight men and that they were indeed neighbors on this street.

Looking at those eight big men, it is very funny to be cowed by a little girl.

I don't know who laughed first, after a while, the whole street was full of laughter.

They just laughed so hard that the eight big men wanted to stick their heads into the cracks in the ground, embarrassed and wronged.

Xu Erniang snorted, and didn't feel that she had done something wrong just because of their aggrieved looks.

"A door-to-door visit has to look like a door-to-door visit. You appear in front of my sister so suddenly, and you look so menacing. Who knows if you are a good person or a bad person?"

The eight people looked at each other in blank dismay, and the older man among them asked awkwardly: "Then you now know whether we are good people or bad people?"

Xu Erniang snorted, and waved her hand to signal Xu Yue and her brother and sister to enter the door, and closed the door with a "bang".

"My father is not at home, you can come again when he comes back!"

A crisp girl's voice came from the courtyard, and Tong Shi, who was standing far away at the door of the house, heard that it was Xu Yue's voice.

Compared with Xu Erniang's fierce attitude, Xu Yue's manner of speaking is much gentler, which can be regarded as a step down for the eight people outside the door.

Seeing that there was nothing that needed her help, Tong shook her head amusedly, coughed lightly, turned around and went home.

There are no adults in the family, just three children, plus the misunderstandings and skirmishes just now, the eight people outside the door looked at each other, and their dark and ferocious faces were full of helplessness.

"Why don't you just wait at the door?" A barefoot boy in thin clothes tentatively asked.

He was holding two fish in his hand, the fish had stopped moving, and the water droplets on the tail had already condensed into ice, which gave off a chill.

Xu Yue, who was lying behind the door and observing through the crack of the door, looked at their thin attire, and was really worried that they would wait in front of their house against the cold wind, and then be frozen to death.

Fortunately, a few older men were more sensible, and waved their hands, indicating that everyone should leave, go home first, and come back when Xu Da comes back.

The barefoot boy sighed in disappointment, and could only leave with the adults.

"Uncle Wu, do you think the Xu family will teach us how to cook a kang?" The young man looked at the two frozen fish in his hand, and at the red marks on his wrists that Xu Erniang had pulled out, and muttered softly:
"The Xu family's second wife has such a bad temper, I guess that Master Xu is not a good-tempered person either."

The middle-aged man who was called Fifth Uncle by the teenager sighed. He didn't know if he could succeed, but he had to try.

"It's not that everyone in the Xu family has a bad temper. I think the young lady of the Xu family who brought hot water to the old man who bought firewood is also a kind-hearted little girl. Didn't she just tell us to wait for Master Xu to come back? Come again later." Fifth Uncle sighed.

Thinking of the boy's hand, he asked with concern, "Does it hurt? Where does it hurt?"

The boy shook his head, "It doesn't hurt."

It just felt ashamed to be whipped by a girl younger than myself.
