Chapter 23 Freshmen
When Xiaoruo said this, everyone was shocked.

Limp Zhang stuttered and was blocked for a while and couldn't speak. Liu Wang covered her mouth and looked back and forth between Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun in surprise. Liu Tiesheng and the old village chief were also stunned for a while.

Xiaoxun's face slowly turned red. Although this was a speech they had discussed a long time ago, Xiaoruo announced it in front of everyone at this moment, which still made him excited.

Xiaoxun's skin is fair, and his blush is particularly obvious.

He tried hard to appear more mature and calm, but the hand holding the wooden crutch had already betrayed him quietly, and he was so hard that his fingertips turned white.

Looking at the puppy's erratic eyes, Xiaoruo knew that the puppy was shy again, and it was really cute.

But now there is no time to tease the puppy, she took out a thin paper from her purse and handed it to the old village head.

"This is a letter left by my parents. It was written to my mother's distant cousin three generations away. It mentioned that I have a marriage contract with this cousin's son Xiaoxun."

This letter was prepared after they discussed Xiaoxun's life experience the night before yesterday, in order to make his appearance more natural and not arouse suspicion.

The old village chief took the tissue paper and read it carefully, and sure enough, what was written on the paper was exactly what Xiaoruo said.

This letter is based on the tone of Xiao's parents, inviting Xiao's mother's distant cousin to Xiao's house as a guest. The letter says that Xiao Ruo has reached the age of Ji, and the marriage contract with his cousin's son Xiao Xun in the early years should be fulfilled.

"It's a pity that my parents passed away suddenly, and Axun's family encountered bandits on the way here. No one in the family was spared except him. He finally found my family and recognized us with this letter. In order to find In my family, he suffered a lot of injuries and suffered a lot..."

As she spoke, Xiaoruo showed sadness, and lifted her sleeves to pretend to wipe away the non-existent teardrops in the corners of her eyes.

Liu Wang's heart is sore, the poor girl of the Xiao family, how can she be so miserable.

Liu Tiesheng nodded his head in response to supporting Xiaoruo's argument: "Yes, this young man was so injured yesterday that he couldn't even walk, and I sent them to the doctor in town to see him."

This turn of events made the lame eyes dumbfounded, how could the duck with its beak suddenly belong to someone else.He wanted to say something more, but the old village chief didn't give him a chance.

"You have a marriage contract with Xiaoxun first, and you have letters to prove it. Naturally, you can't have anything else to do with the Zhang family."

The old village head directly made a judgment, completely cutting off the confused lawsuit between the lame Zhang family and the Xiao family.

"Zhang Heli, the marriage contract between Xiao Ruo and Xiao Xun is based on evidence. The verbal marriage contract you said is unfounded and unfounded. Even if you want to make a fuss to the sky, you have no reason. You should leave quickly, and you will never be allowed to come to Xiao Ruo again. Family entanglement!"

Limp Zhang had no reason to stay still anymore, he could only drag Zhang Guangzong who was completely stunned, and limped away from Xiao's house, not forgetting to take away the bag of peanuts and cabbages on the ground before leaving.

With his daughter-in-law gone, naturally there is no such thing as courtesy or not. He doesn't want to lose his wife and lose his army. Wash this bag of cabbage and eat it for several days.

Zhang Guangzong was dragged away by his father.In one day, he experienced the ecstasy of marrying his sweetheart, and was told that his sweetheart had promised someone else a long time ago. Under the impact of such great joy and sorrow, his mind was numb, unable to react, like a thread Like a puppet, Zhang was limped and carried home.

The departure of Zhang's father and son finally restored Xiao's family.

Liu Wang couldn't help but asked Xiao Ruo: "Ruo Ruo, then this young man, oh no, Xiao... Xiao Xun, right? Will he live with you from now on?"

"Grandma Wang, that's our plan for the time being. Axun's injury still needs to be healed, and we'll all stay in the Tzu Chi Hall temporarily."

"Then when do you plan to get married? Although there is a marriage contract, if you live together without paying respects to heaven and earth, there will always be someone who wants to gossip..."

Mrs. Liu Wang also reminded out of good intentions that Xiaoruo, a big girl with yellow flowers, lived with a man without getting married. She knew that the two of them had a marriage contract, but she didn't know how to arrange it behind the scenes. Passing it on is never a good thing.

They made up Xiaoxun's life experience and this marriage contract, Xiaoruo didn't intend to make it real, she had already thought of this level of counter-argument.

"I also know that this is not in line with etiquette. It's just that my parents are newly mourned, and Axun's parents were also kidnapped by bandits... As a child, one should keep filial piety for three years. We plan to wait until the three-year filial piety period expires before making any plans."

This answer made the old village head nod again and again, filial piety is the first in the world, there is a saying that a three-year mourning is as good as the son of heaven, and the mourning of parents has no distinction between high and low.Xiaoruo can be filial first and then worry about herself, she is indeed knowledgeable and reasonable.

"Okay, your parents did raise you well." The old village head was very pleased. "It's still the same sentence, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."

He also asked Liu Tiesheng to stay and help them pack their luggage, and the old village chief went back home trembling.

With the help of one more person, the speed of packing was much faster. In less than half an hour, the bags that should be taken to the Tzu Chi Hall were packed.

The house key was still entrusted to Mrs. Liu, and she was asked to tell her wife, Uncle Liu, that Xiao's land would also be cultivated by her family.

Mrs. Liu Wang originally said that she could help take care of the land, but the harvest from the field would still go to the Xiao family.

Xiaoruo knew that Liu Wangshi was kind-hearted and would not take advantage of others in vain. She kept a few eggs for Xiaoruo well, not to mention the harvest of an acre of fertile land.

To put it bluntly, on the grounds that Mrs. Liu often needs to help clean and take care of the yard, and help the Xiao family's parents clean up the weeds on the graves, etc., the harvest in the Xiao family's field is divided into three or seven.

Uncle Liu and Mrs. Liu Wang are responsible for the cultivation of the fields, and the Liu family pays for the Miao money, medicines, taxes and taxes, accounting for [-]% of the harvest.The remaining [-]% belonged to the Xiao family. If the Xiao family did not come back, they would temporarily store it in the Liu family for safekeeping.

Everything was in order, and it was nearly dusk, Xiaoruo declined Liu Wang's invitation to stay for dinner, carefully wrapped the memorial tablet of Xiao's parents and hugged it close to her body, and decided to set off immediately to go back to Shangxi Town.

Liu Tiesheng helped find a mule cart that could go to the town, and after adding an extra five cents, the coachman agreed to drive Xiaoruo Xiaoxun to Shangxi Town overnight.

When the two arrived in town, the night was already deep.The bright moon in the sky shines on the sleeping earth, and the flat stone road seems to be covered with a thin layer of veil.

In recent years, the imperial court no longer imposed a curfew, and the gate of the town was not closed tightly. If someone wants to pass through in the middle of the night, he only needs to tap a few times in the hole next to the gate, and the soldiers on duty inside the gate will come out to verify the identity of the visitor. Can enter the town.

After passing the verification, the mule cart entered the town and walked along the main street to the Tzu Chi Hall.

From a distance, I saw that the door of the Tzu Chi Hall was not closed with a board, and the soft orange candlelight reflected from the door, leaving a oblique bright spot on the ground at the entrance of the Tzu Chi Hall.

There are two small black shadows on the threshold of the Tzu Chi Hall, Xiao Niao and Xiao Zhao squatting there.

The sharp-eyed Xiao Niao first saw the shadow of the mule cart and jumped up.

"Sister! Sister is back!"

The joyful and milky voice called out old man Cen.The little Doudings refused to go to sleep, so he didn't sleep either, and waited for their sister to come back with the two little ones.

When Xiaoruo got out of the car, she hugged the two cubs who had flung herself into her arms and kissed each other, rubbing their soft faces to enjoy herself, and then followed the driver to unload all the luggage and packages and move them to the backyard of the Tzu Chi Church .

One old, two young, and one semi-disabled person wanted to help, but Xiaoruo sent them all to sit and rest obediently.

Since she re-awakened her ability, she has been extremely energetic. After a whole day of work, not only does she not feel tired, but her whole body is full of strength.If it wasn't for fear of scaring them, Xiaoruo felt that unloading all the luggage by herself would be a trivial matter.

An extra ten renminbi was given to the driver as a thank-you gift for helping to carry the luggage, and the Tzu Chi Hall went up to close, and several people also went back to the room to rest one by one.

That night Xiaoruo was lying on the bed, looking at the strange room, feeling extremely peaceful in her heart.

She has fully adapted to this world now, and starting tomorrow, she will start a brand new life.

Although the world here is completely different from the world she lived in in her previous life, she feels that she prefers the life here compared to the days when she was alone and would enter a state of alert every day when she opened her eyes.

She likes the liveliness and simplicity of the people here, likes the kindness shown in all aspects by the parents of the Xiao family who have never met, likes Xiaoyou Xiaozhao's complete dependence on her...

I also like puppies, and they are easily shy and obedient.

Xiaoruo fell into a deep sleep with a smile, only dreams, no more dreams.
