Nongmen's fierce wife: the prince brings a huge amount of the national treasury to seek marriag

Chapter 17

But to Xu Ruoruo's surprise, the aunt said again:
"I can pay five Wen. Can the little lady bring me something for my daughter who married into the county?"

"Ah?" When Xu Ruoruo was hesitating how to refuse, he suddenly raised his head when he heard this sentence, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Do you think it's too little?" Seeing Xu Ruoruo's reaction, the aunt mistakenly thought that she was unwilling, a trace of struggle flashed across her old face, and she finally gritted her teeth and said, "I, I can add another two cents."

"My daughter is going to give birth soon, but recently the farming season is busy and I am busy sowing seeds. I really don't have time to go to the county to take care of her. I... I have prepared something, and I want to ask the little lady to help me bring it to her, and I also hope that my daughter The delivery can go smoothly," the aunt twisted her sleeves into a ball of twists, very nervous: "If the little lady doesn't want to, then forget it."

Xu Ruoruo interrupted her hastily: "No, I can."

"Ah, really?" The aunt was stunned for a moment, surprised and delighted, the corners of her mouth widened: "Thank you so much, little lady."

"You're welcome," Xu Ruoruo was also affected by her smile, "We are all from the same town, so we help each other."

Lu Xing had no objection: "Auntie, give us the things, the donkey cart is about to leave."

To reserve a seat in advance.

The aunt took off the big package on her back and said in a rambling manner: "I have nothing to give her, just some bellybands I made for my grandson, two cans of pickles made at home, and a red horse I wove myself. Cloth, you can make new clothes for your grandson."

"There are also some worthless mountain products, which I picked up in the mountains myself," the aunt touched her head in embarrassment when she said this: "If you don't dislike it, how about eating some?"

Xu Ruoruo said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, auntie."

The aunt untied the cloth rope on the top of the snakeskin bag, and grabbed two handfuls of mountain products, including hickory nuts, chestnuts, and hazelnuts.

It looks like it was picked up before the winter last year, and it has been kept until now.

Xu Ruoruo took it with both hands: "Thank you, auntie, these wild things are so big."

The aunt said cautiously: "I just picked it out."

Lu Xing poured the mountain goods in Xu Ruoruo's hand into his carry-on bag, peeled two more hickory nuts and handed them over.

Xu Ruoruo ate half of it, and handed the remaining half to the aunt: "Auntie, you can eat too."

Several pecans were eaten in the blink of an eye.

Lu Xing glanced at the donkey cart and reminded, "The donkey cart is leaving."

The aunt reacted, stuffed all the pecans in her mouth into her mouth, clapped her hands, took out a small money bag from the seam of her clothes, and took out seven coins from it:

"Little lady, thank you and your husband for your kindness."

Xu Ruoruo took it, and returned two cents to go back: "By the way, five cents is enough, and the hickory nuts are also very sweet."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you——" the aunt grasped Xu Ruoruo's hand and thanked her vigorously: "This, this is the address of my daughter's home. I can't describe it clearly. You can see for yourself."

She took out a small crumpled note from her purse and handed it to Xu Ruoruo. She used to remember the way when she went to the county and followed her habit.

Xu Ruoruo glanced at it, and saw that the note was written clearly, Lin's house at No. 6 Shuanggui Street.

It looks like a big family.

Xu Ruoruo added: "Auntie, we live in the incense and candle shop in the town. If your daughter has a reply, we will bring it back. Then you can come to the incense and candle shop to find us."

To help people to the end, to send the Buddha to the West, there must be a response when sending a letter.

The aunt did not expect that Xu Ruoruo was willing to bring back the letter, and she was very grateful: "Thank you, little lady, you are a kind-hearted lady, and you will live a long life."

Xu Ruoruo smiled, never thought that in this other world, people would praise her for being kind, if it was in the end of the world, this would be something that she wouldn't even think about.

"Auntie, we are leaving, you should go back too."

The aunt nodded but didn't move. She watched Xu Ruoruo and Lu Xing get into the donkey cart, and she didn't feel relieved until the donkey cart set off for the county.

On the donkey cart, Xu Ruoruo's face was wrinkled into a ball, looking very uncomfortable.

Such a small donkey cart can actually seat twelve people! !
Not to mention that everyone is carrying a bunch of things. In comparison, the aunt's package is quite small.

Xu Ruoruo covered his mouth and nose with his hands, even if there were too many people, the most important thing was the smell!
This is not to say that these people are not clean, but that they have worked in the fields for a long time, facing the loess and back to the sky, and the smell has accumulated over time.

Xu Ruoruo huddled himself into a ball as hard as he could, and slowly leaned out.

"Be careful--"

Lu Xing suddenly grabbed Xu Ruoruo's shoulder and pulled it in: "If you step back, you will fall."

Xu Ruoruo turned his head to take a look, and carefully put his feet back: "Thank you."

Lu Xing glanced at Xu Ruoruo again, and moved the snakeskin bag in front of him calmly, so that it could isolate Xu Ruoruo from the people around him.

In this case, he will stick to the flesh of the people on both sides.He also felt a little uncomfortable about it, but it was bearable.

Lu Xing's other hand blocked Xu Ruoruo's back, embracing her vaguely to prevent her from accidentally falling.

Xu Ruoruo didn't notice this, she was very dizzy now, and her reaction was a lot slower.

The donkey cart was not only crowded, but also very wobbly. The road was uneven and full of potholes, and the people sitting on the donkey cart followed suit.

Xu Ruoruo felt the beauty of the asphalt road like never before. A wide and smooth road is really important!
When the donkey cart was halfway there, Xu Ruoruo finally couldn't hold on, and his body fell in the direction of Lu Xing due to inertia.

Lu Xing opened his eyes wide, watching in astonishment when Xu Ruoruo threw himself at him.

He couldn't avoid it, and watched Xu Ruoruo hit his left shoulder helplessly.

"Aw—" It still hurts a little.

A strange pain.

Before Lu Xing had time to think about it, Xu Ruoruo moved again. She seemed to feel that it was not comfortable to lean on. Lu Xing's shoulder on top of her head moved twice, and finally pulled out the most comfortable position.

This position is very close to Lu Xing, so close that he can touch her hair with his chin as soon as he lowers his head.

Lu Xing had never been so close to a woman before, his ears were so red that they were about to burn, and he could feel the astonishing heat without touching it.

"Delicious," Xu Ruoruo suddenly poked his mouth and made a murmur.

Lu Xing didn't dare to move anymore, his sitting posture was stiff, his back stretched into a straight line.

Xu Ruoruo, how could she sleep on her shoulder so naturally, didn't she, didn't she know the difference between men and women?

No, he and she seem to have a relationship of obeisance.

Well, that doesn't seem to be a big deal.

So in Xu Ruoruo's view, he is her husband, right?
That's why she's so natural.

Lu Xing figured it out.
