Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 204 Be Seen (Gageng)

Wanwan and Baishou went out wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats. They didn't go to Mai Cao's house, because they found Mai Cao squatting on the ground under a big tree halfway along the way.

Her hair and clothes were soaked, and she squatted on the ground with her arms around her knees, as pitiful as an abandoned child, with water all over her face, whether it was rain or tears.

Mai Cao was surprised to see the two of them.

The sadness and fear on her face could still be felt even in the dark night.

"Maicao, why are you here in such heavy rain?"

Mai Cao tried her best to resist the tears in her eyes, looked at Wan Wan and Bai Shou and then lowered her head.

Could it be that Xiangxiu scolded her?But the child was outside alone in such a heavy rain, so Xiangxiu didn't come out to see if it dripped.

Wanwan was very confused, and said kindly: "If you are afraid of being scolded by your mother, I will go back with you, okay?"

Hearing this, Mai Cao shook her head vigorously.

"It's okay, if your mother blames me, I will explain to her."

Mai Cao still shook her head, no matter what Wan Wan said, Mai Cao just shook her head from beginning to end, asked her something, and didn't answer.

Wanwan and Baishou looked at each other, and there were thousands of guesses in their hearts. For the sake of safety, the two decided to stay here with Mai Cao and Baishou to visit Mai Cao's house.But when Mai Cao heard it, she immediately stood up and stood in front of the two of them, not letting Bai Shou pass by.

The two saw some signs, it should not be that Xiangxiu scolded Maicao, nor that Maicao was afraid to go home, but Maicao didn't want them to go to her house at all, and Xiangxiu should be at home.So what is the reason why wheatgrass would rather stand in the rain in the dark than go home?
The two had no choice but to go home.She was still a little worried when she lay in bed at night.

The next day, seeing Mai Cao cutting pigweed on the mountain, Wan Wan felt relieved, no matter what, a girl is always unsafe at night, and now it seems that Mai Cao should have gone back soon last night.

She also paid special attention to Xiangxiu's words and deeds, worked neatly, talked and laughed with Aunt Xie, and spoke little to the men in the mine just like a few days ago.He didn't see anything wrong, and Wan Wan was even more confused.

After noon, Xiangxiu finished her kitchen work and left, and greeted her with a smile as she passed the Wanwan stall.

Wan Wan scooped up ice powder and warmly invited her to eat: "It's hot today, eat a bowl, it's cool, I treat you."

"Hey, how embarrassing this is!" Xiangxiu smiled, but didn't take the bowl: "I don't eat it if I have something to do. Your business is not easy, so keep it for the people in the mine."

"Look how polite you are, how much is this worth!" Xiangxiu didn't want it, and Wanwan didn't force it.Then he asked her where she was going in a hurry.

Sorrow immediately appeared on Xiangxiu's face: "Maicao is not young anymore, a child as old as her would have found someone to marry her..." She sat next to Wanwan again, and said from the bottom of her heart: "You I also know the situation of our family. My relationship with the villagers is not very good. People say that there are many gossips in front of widows. Maybe not many people are willing to marry people like us. Mai Cao’s marriage has been delayed. I want to go to Wang Matchmaker’s family, please ask her to help us take a look, it doesn’t matter how good the family is, as long as the person is honest and honest!”

Xiangxiu is right, with her current reputation, I am afraid that not many people are willing to marry her. If Mai Cao really wants to find someone to marry, other things are not important, as long as she is loyal and honest, and she is good to Mai Cao. .

After saying a few words, Xiangxiu left, and then Wanwan kept thinking in his heart, could it be that because Xiangxiu wanted to marry Maicao, she didn't want to, that's why last night the two had a quarrel and Maicao ran out?
But this is not right, so why is she afraid that she and Baishou will go to her house?

Matchmaker Wang was also very troubled by this matter. Xiangxiu asked her to help her find the match a while ago. She went to a few places, but they didn't want to!Seeing that Xiangxiu said pitifully, they were all women, and Mai Cao was also a poor child. She had no choice but to agree, and promised to take another look, but there was no guarantee that she would be able to find a suitable family for Mai Cao.

As long as Matchmaker Wang agrees, even a little bit of hope is good. Xiangxiu thanked Matchmaker Wang and left Matchmaker Wang's house.

As soon as Xiangxiu left, Matchmaker Wang sat in the yard and sighed: "I used to think she was quite annoying, but now she looks pitiful!"

*******
The rain didn't seem to stop when it started, it didn't stop for several days, sometimes it rained heavily, sometimes it rained lightly.For the sake of safety, the mine has suspended work.Everyone also took advantage of this to rest at home.

Fortunately, Wanwan's family built this very wide eaves. If you go from the main room to the kitchen, if you don't go out for a whole day, you won't get a little rain.The house is also clean and dry, with no muddy footprints and no damp on the ground.

The biggest joy of Baishou every day is to tease the children, which makes Wanwan much more relaxed. Cooking every day is her job.

When Li Dazhi came back, the whole Li family was overjoyed.Because he is well-learned, gentle in dealing with people, and has his own unique insights in situations, Yang Qing likes him a lot, and recommends him to be a teacher in the academy.The academy is famous, and there are many school-age children from wealthy families who come to study. Li Dazhi teaches the Three Character Classic, the Analects of Confucius, etc.

There hasn’t been a gentleman in Yangjiacun for decades. Although it’s not a big deal, it’s a big happy event for the Li family. There is a scholar in the family who is still teaching in the academy. Blessing to come!
Gossip is like the wind blowing through the wall. Although it was still raining and everyone was staying at home, within a few days, the whole Yangjia Village knew about it.Da Zhiniang felt that her waist was finally straight!Walking in the village with your head held high and your chest up and listening to everyone say good things, it feels so good!I've never been this happy in my life.

And Maicao has been resting for several days since that night and has not been to Wanwan's house.

In the afternoon of the second day of rain, Wanwan, Baishou and Laisheng sat in the main room together to tease the children. Haner had just learned to walk, and he was curious about everything, touching here and scratching there. Not as fast as him.

Later, Mai Cao came over, and when she entered the house, she also teased the child with everyone. Seeing that she was having fun, Wan Wan didn't mention anything about that day.She sat for about two hours and then went home.

It rained heavily again in the afternoon of the second day. At the same time, Mai Cao came back wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat. Wan Wan was a little surprised, so she still smiled and invited her to sit in the house. After sitting for two hours, she left again.For three or four days in a row, she came almost every afternoon at around midnight, and sat for two hours every day before going back, whether it was raining or windy or sunny, rain or shine!
Although wheat grass used to come here often, but not every day in a row, and they all came to deliver food, and they would not stay at their house for two hours.Not to mention that it has been raining heavily for the past few days.Wheatgrass didn't say anything, and it's not easy to ask Wanwan.

That day, Maicao came over for two hours in the afternoon, and before leaving, she was still a little reluctant to hold the child, so Wanwan kept her: "Why don't you go back after having dinner here."

Mai Cao shook her head and gestured with her hands, indicating that she wanted to go back to eat.

As soon as it got dark, he became sober in the next life. Looking at the delicious and delicious meals that Wanwan cooked every day, he couldn't help itching his hands. He insisted on making the evening meals by him, but he couldn't hold back, so Wanwan had to agree.

Bai Shou can think about it: "Let him go, if the rice is not cooked, it's better to re-cook it. If the food is not tasty, let's just order it."

Let alone let Baishou say that the cooked dry rice was still a little raw, and when I fried a green vegetable, it was cooked, but it was overcooked.There is also a shredded potato, let alone whether it is cooked or not, it is too salty, and it is not shredded potato, it is like potato sticks.

In the next life, I couldn't help sighing: "I usually see that you do it very easily, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult!"

"There is nothing easy in this world!"

Of course, I can only make do with it at night.

Lai Sheng's stir-fried dishes were too tasty. After eating, the three of them were sitting in the main room and had just made tea when there was a knock on the door outside.

The door opened in the next life turned out to be straw, she stood outside the door hesitating.Wanwan thought something was wrong, but she walked in awkwardly and made gestures to the three of them.

"My mother isn't here, I'm scared at home alone, come here for a while."

A bad premonition suddenly surfaced in Wanwan's heart.

He poured water for her in the next life, and asked her with a curved smile: "Where did your mother go? Why did you leave you alone at home?" Now there are so many men in the mine, unlike before, a girl has to be more vigilant at home.

Mai Cao gestured again: "I don't know."

I don't know where Xiangxiu is going, Maicao is a good girl, if it's really not possible, it's fine to keep her here overnight.

The three of them sat in the main room and talked again, and Mai Cao sat quietly beside him, holding a bowl, not talking to each other or asking anything.

After about an hour, it was getting late, and it was not good to stay any longer, so I told the three of them not to go back.Wanwan originally wanted to send her off, but she insisted not to, saying that it was not far away and it was unnecessary.

As soon as the wheat grass left, it began to rain again.

Wanwan closed the courtyard door and went back to the house. Laisheng frowned and asked her: "Is there something wrong with the wheatgrass? Why is it so strange these days? Especially today, come to our house at night?"

In the next life, I can see it, not to mention Wanwan and Baishou, they are outsiders, so it's not easy to intervene, and it's not easy to intervene.

Later, Wan Wan went back to the house to see the children. After drinking a whole pot of water, the two of them still didn't quench their thirst. Bai Shou went to the kitchen to boil the water again. The door sneaked out.

When Baishou boiled the water and went in to call for the next life, he realized that the kid wasn't there at all.Neither of them saw him go out, and a big living person just disappeared.Baishou put down his things and was about to go out to find the next life, but the next life came back.

His complexion is very bad, sullen, and Wanwan and Baishou's complexion is also not good-looking. This kid disappeared in the middle of the night without saying a word. Since he came back from Ouyang's house, he has disappeared like this for a long time. Let the two worry.

However, the words of the imminent rebirth made both of them couldn't help showing shocked expressions on their faces.

"I was worried about the straw, so I went out to have a look. It turned out that she didn't go home at all, but kept hiding under a tree not far from the house. Guess what I saw outside?"

The two shook their heads.

"I saw a man come out of their house!"

　In fact, I also want to change more, the daily life process: get up in the morning to eat, get up with the fruit pig, and then take her to play for more than an hour, it will be at least ten o'clock, wait for her to sleep, wash clothes, at least 10 minutes , Washed for more than an hour, it was noon, and I ate again, and then the fruit pig woke up again, hugged and played for two hours, and went to sleep, in fact, I also wanted to sleep.Then the code words, often she wakes up after a short sleep, and I have to continue to hold her to play, and occasionally I have to review the code words in my mind, so as not to forget the previous... Take the fruit pig out at six o'clock , Come back at seven o'clock, have dinner, wait for the adults to finish eating, she has to eat too, and then put her to bed, after she goes to bed, it will be ten o'clock before I can code, at this time the eyelids are fighting...
