Chapter 5
After finishing the meal and clearing away the dishes, and feeding the hens who were furious at being touched eggs early in the morning, Xiaoruo decided to go out for a walk to check the surrounding situation, and it would be best to find a way for the Xiao family to open up new sources of income. The two little Doudings are still young, and there is a long way to go to grow up. Two eggs a day are by no means enough.

But before going out, Xiaoruo still has some preparatory work to do, the first thing is to prevent limp Zhang.

The lame Zhang family hasn't been here since Xiaoruo's accident.

First, I heard that Xiaoruo had an accident on the mountain, and I didn’t know how badly she was injured. I was afraid that if she fell and became disabled, my family didn’t want a disabled and ugly woman as a daughter-in-law. If he spends money and effort to take care of Xiaoruo, he will lose a lot.

Another thing, the day after Xiaoruo's accident happened, Zhang Cuihua, who had a good relationship with the Xiao family, came to the door and pointed at him and scolded his family for wanting to kill the orphan of the Xiao family.Zhang Cuihua has a violent nature, and her own mother-in-law can't scold her, so Lame Zhang decides that it's better to get rid of the relationship with the Xiao family before things become clear.

Now Xiaoruo has been awake for a few days, and the villagers have gradually stopped gossiping about the lame Zhang family, and the lame Zhang's mind has become active again.Not to mention that the eldest daughter of the Xiao family is young and beautiful, but also that the Xiao family's mu of land is so fertile and tight that it can produce three loads of rice in a good year, which is nearly three taels of silver when converted into silver!

Lame Zhang was counting the Xiao family's property with green eyes, and Xiao Ruo was also thinking about it.

The last time Zhang came to Xiao's house when he was limping, he didn't see Xiaoruo, and he didn't take advantage of it. According to his disposition of not taking advantage enough, he would definitely not let it go, maybe there is something bad in his stomach.

I can't stay at home all day and wait for them to come and make trouble. Spring waits for no one, and I don't take advantage of the current climate to find some wild fruits. A beancurd may have to eat a few meals less.

You still have to go out, Xiaoyou and Xiaozhao are too young to go up and down the mountain with her, Xiaoruo decided to make some simple tricks, at least to punish the lame Zhang when he came to make trouble again, and let him know Xiaoruo Home is not so easy to come.

Let Xiaoyou go to clean up the chicken coop first, collect the chicken manure after cleaning and put it in a small straw woven frame, and let Xiaozhao find some white powder next to the stove. She has observed that it is limestone and wood after burning The product is quicklime.

The two little guys led the tasks assigned by the elder sister and got busy happily. Although they didn't know what the elder sister was going to do, they were very happy to be able to help the elder sister.

Satisfied to see the two little guys busy with their buttocks pouted, Xiaoruo also started to act on her own.

She first crushed two yams and applied the yam juice on the doorknob of the outer room.The yam juice is rich in alkaloids, which can make people feel extremely itchy after touching it. The height of the application is just out of the reach of two little guys, so as not to accidentally touch it when they are playing.

After painting, she carefully entered through the unpainted door, and hung one end of the chicken manure basket collected by Xiaoyou on the beam with a thin cotton thread, and tied it around the wooden beam behind the door, and the other end was tied with a shorter one. The cotton thread is stretched and fixed on the wall directly opposite the door, forming an irregular Z shape as a whole.

In this way, if someone pulls the door suddenly, the cotton thread at the door will be forced to pull the small frame containing chicken manure towards the door, and the thin cotton thread used to fix the grass basket at the rear end will be torn off.Grass baskets that are not fixed with cotton threads will fall towards the person who opens the door like a pendulum, bringing a basket full of chicken manure.

The quicklime was carefully and thickly sprinkled at the entrance of the yard by Xiao Ruozai. Even if ordinary people enter the yard, nothing will happen if there is no trouble, at most, the soles of their shoes are covered with quicklime.But if Zhang came lamely, he would definitely not go home just because no one was there, even if he was hit with chicken dung on the forehead, he would definitely not be good at giving up cursing and rushing forward.

Lame Zhang and his crippled son both have inflexible left legs and walk unconsciously leaning to the left.Xiaoruo put eight pots on the left side of the outhouse, filled with clean water.As soon as they knock over a pot, a lot of water reacts with the quicklime on the soles of their shoes.The soles of rural people in this era are not thick, and quicklime will emit a lot of heat when it meets water, which is enough to teach them a painful lesson.

After finishing all this, Xiaoruo felt relieved, there were not many things that could be used at home at present, and there were only a few small institutions. Although they were not very lethal, they were enough to deal with the rural rascals who had never seen anything in the market.

She also asked Xiaoyou Xiaozhao to go back to the inner room to play, and not to come out no matter what happened outside, unless she came back to call them, and she promised to come back before noon.

Seeing the two little guys nodding in unison, blinking their big black grape-like eyes, and being so obedient, the cute Xiaoruo couldn't help but slapped his little head hard twice before going out.

When Xiaoruo went out, the whole village was already busy, and the smoke from every household was rising. Most of the housewives were preparing meals, and they only waited for the laborers at home to work for a living after eating.

The closest to Xiaoruo's house is Uncle Liu's house, and he was also the one who helped go up the mountain to find someone on the day Xiaoruo's accident happened, and then brought her back.

Uncle Liu was repairing a hoe in the yard at this time. The hoe blade and handle were loose. He was smashing the hoe blade on the ground with the upper handle and the lower part, so as to make the hoe stronger.

"How is Uncle Liu busy?" Xiao Ruo took the initiative to say hello.This era is still dominated by farming, and most people are simple by nature. People in the same village don't see each other when they look up, but they are always acquainted with each other.

Uncle Liu raised his head at the crisp cry, and saw that it was the eldest daughter of the Xiao family who was still sick a few days ago calling him. "Isn't this Ruo Ruo? Are you feeling better? I see that you are in good spirits. Where are you going?"

"I'm much better. I don't have anything to do if I stay at home all day. I'm thinking about going out for a walk and looking at the crops in the field." Xiaoruo replied with a smile.

The conversation outside the door also brought out Mrs. Liu, Uncle Liu's mother-in-law.Liu Wang leaned out half of her body, saw Xiao Ruo and greeted: "Girl, have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't eaten, bring your two dolls to my house to deal with it. Grandma Wang made glutinous rice cakes in the morning!" Mrs. Liu Wang is a warm-hearted person. Since the death of Xiao's parents, she has been trying to take care of the three siblings.

"Thank you Grandma Wang, we have had breakfast." Xiaoruo replied with a smile, and looked at Liu Wangshi a little embarrassed. "Grandma Wang, I'll go to the field to have a look later, it may take a while, if I haven't come back, in case something happens to my family..."

Before Xiaoruo could finish speaking, Liu Wang walked out of the house with one hand on his waist and the other hand still holding a vegetable spoon: "You mean lame Zhang, don't you worry, this cripple is still If you dare to go to your house to make trouble, I will beat him to death with a spoon first! What kind of vicious heart is just bullying your children and no one will protect you. Last time Cuihua went to scold him and didn’t take me with her. I have long wanted to scold this wicked family to death. thing!"

Seeing Granny Wang talking more and more excited, Xiaoruo quickly waved her hands: "No, Grandma Wang, what I mean is that if there is any noise in my house later, you must not intervene."

"Ah?" Xiaoruo's words stunned the old couple of the Liu family.What's the matter?This girl from the Xiao family fell down the mountain and broke her brain?Why do others bully her family and let others leave it alone?

Xiaoruo had a sly smile on her face, her big eyes narrowed into two crescent moons. "Uncle Liu, Grandma Wang, you don't have to worry, I've settled down well, and I have other arrangements."

After finishing speaking, he asked Uncle Liu how to get to his own field. After asking the direction and distance, he bowed slightly as a salute, then turned and walked out of the village.

Seeing Xiaoruo's back slowly going away, Liu Wang said to his wife in confusion, "Why do I think Ruoruo is a little different today... What arrangements do you think she can make?"

Uncle Liu was also stunned for a while, then lowered his head and continued to ram the hoe, and said to his wife: "Don't worry about it, you don't have a duckweed to float on your own, and you have no mother to plan early, Ruo Ruo has a backbone now, she said she has arrangements There are arrangements. If we can help, we can help, and if we don’t need it, we can just watch.”

Liu Wangshi also nodded, yes, the three babies lost their parents, and Xiaoruo is the oldest, she probably also got the hang of it and is going to be the head of the family.Thinking about it, he turned around and went back to the house to continue cooking, thinking that when his eldest son came back from learning carpentry, let him make more dick style for the Xiao family siblings, it would not be in vain for the neighbors.

And Xiaoruo, who was walking out of the village, didn't know that the impression she left on others was quietly changing. She now had a blank sheet of paper in her heart. Open source, so that the two little Doudings of the Xiao family can thrive as much as possible.
