Ordinary people's rice bowl

Chapter 720
After Lao Mu finished his meal, he watched Mu Yan put the dishes away properly, so he gave Xiuhua a wink, and Xiuhua comprehended and said to Mu Yan, "Let's go to your Uncle Tiancheng's house and knock on the door to worry about you. If you can’t hear me, lock the door from the outside when you leave.”

"Where can't I hear it! Go ahead, I'll just listen to it!" Mu Yan didn't think too much about it, as she agreed, she walked out of the room holding the packed dishes.

"Then we won't lock the door, you can plug it in from the inside!" Xiuhua stood up and chased out the door, looking at the stars in the sky and said.

As soon as Mu Yan promised, the sound of clashing dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen immediately replaced all the replies.

Lao Mu and Xiuhua pushed the cart and left the house.

Xiuhua sat in the back of the car and turned on the battery hand lamp. The light of the hand lamp was like a small sun that she carried with her, illuminating the road ahead. Old Mu coughed and said, "Sit down, with this road, this night Cycling on the road has become so stable!"

"Don't talk too much, there are many, talk on the road, there are people in the grass!" Xiuhua's reminder immediately made Lao Mu shut up.

The two of them really had nothing to say all the way, and rode directly to the entrance of Liji Village. Lao Mu and Xiuhua got out of the car, and it was a bit difficult to stand at the entrance of the village.

"We don't know Li Dayou's home. There is no one on the street. Where can we find him?" Old Mu asked Xiuhua.

"Just wait on the side of the road, I'll find out if I go to the house at the head of the village!" After Xiuhua finished speaking, she walked towards the house at the head of the village.

Standing at the head of the village, looking at the back of Xiuhua reflected in the dim light, Lao Mu couldn't help secretly praising this Xiuhua who had been with him for nearly 30 years. Over the years, he taught at school, no matter how heavy the farm work, no matter how No matter how tight the family life is, Xiuhua has never complained of being tired or bitter. In terms of interpersonal communication, Xiuhua is a hundred times better than herself. , was praised by the people in the village. At this time, asking for directions in the dark at this time still has to rely on Xiuhua to complete it. The sourness I have cultivated for so many years, I can no longer bear this face.

Old Mu was thinking, and Xiuhua was already standing in front of him: "This Li Dayou is in a single courtyard in the northwest corner of the village. It's very easy to find. In the northwest corner, there is no other house, only his family!"

The lights from every household in the village made the roads in the village no longer dark. Xiuhua turned off the lights, and Lao Mu followed behind Xiuhua to the west of the village.

Liji Village is not big, and it is only 200 meters away from the east end to the west end. When the two walked through the village, the restless dogs in the village saw the arrival of strangers and barked two times from time to time. The sound is reminding the owner's attention.However, the dog's barking did not attract the attention of any owner, and there was no one on the street except Lao Mu and Xiuhua who walked past the dog's barking.

When they arrived at the last family at the west end of the village, Xiuhua noticed the alley to the east of this family. According to the people in the village, they naturally had to walk in this alley.

Lao Mu followed behind Xiuhua, and after only two rows of houses, a single courtyard appeared in front of Lao Mu and Xiuhua. There were no other houses on the opposite side of the alley, and it was an open land. With the light, Lao Mu noticed that the gate It is very simple, and there are two small wooden doors under the gate building made of straw, as if they are still waiting for the arrival of guests.

Xiuhua turned on the hand lamp, shined a light on the door, and knocked a few times, a man's voice came from the courtyard: "Who is it?"

"Is Li Dayou here?" Xiuhua asked.

Perhaps when a woman's voice was heard in the courtyard, some heavy footsteps were heard, accompanied by the opening of the glottis, an old man bent almost ninety degrees stood in front of Xiuhua .

The strong light from the hand lamp made Xiuhua see clearly.

Square face, high nose bridge, thick eyebrows and big eyes, if it weren't for the almost ninety-degree bend, the man standing in front of him must be a man with some elegance.

"Who are you?" the old man asked.

"We are from Xiaowangzhuang Village. Dayou's brother came to Xiaowangzhuang to propose a marriage for our child that day! You are the uncle of the family, right?" Xiuhua felt that the old man in the family must be Dayou's father, so she greeted warmly.

"Yes, yes, come in quickly, Dayou has not come back after going out, you sit and wait for him for a while, he will probably be back soon!" The old man said as he stood by the door, and invited Xiuhua and Lao Mu very politely. Into the yard.
