Chapter 71
Seeing such a fine fox fur, Mrs. Liu's eyes straightened.

"Baby girl, is this really for us?"

"It's for grandma." The childish little girl from the Xu family corrected her.

Xu Baozhu didn't like Liu Shi's greedy attitude, but thinking of her help to him before, she finally endured that displeasure.

"You and your uncle have worked hard to take care of grandma. These bacon are for you."

Mrs. Liu was a little disappointed, but thinking that the food was not bad, she didn't say anything.

Xu Dashan doesn't like this niece very much, but I have to say that since he fell into the water once, he has become more sensible, and he can't make mistakes in things.

"It's rare that you and your father miss it." He weighed the skin and said, "With this, grandma will have a better winter."

The old lady Xu was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She was thin, and the torn cold clothes on her body were full of wind. Her eyes were red, and she held her hand tremblingly.

The happy and harmonious appearance of the family made Maizi on the side a little appetizing.

On the way back, the man was absent-minded all the time. He walked by a field ridge, accidentally stepped on the ground, and fell down.

The incident happened suddenly, Xu Baozhu didn't react to pull it, and when he saw it, he was already in the field.

"Are you okay?" Xu Baozhu and Zhu Yun hurried down to help her up.

With the strength of the two of them, he stood up, but soon fell down again, "It seems... It seems that the foot is crooked."

She was about to cry as she spoke, "I'm so useless, I can't even walk well."

How can someone shed tears so easily?
Cry without moving.

Xu Baozhu was quite helpless.

"Everyone is careless every now and then. In this village, no one has ever fallen, so don't worry too much."

Xu Baozhu helped him to the edge of the field and sat down, "Come, let me have a look."

"Not good, Mr. Zhu is here." Maizi said.

"It's okay." Xu Baozhu didn't have much awareness of how men and women defend themselves, and she just helped to see an ankle injury, and she didn't even need to take off her shoes and socks, let alone it was a problem.

Hearing what she said, Zhu Yun consciously turned his back.

Xu Baozhu pressed left and right on her ankles, and every time she touched her, she groaned in pain and her expression twisted.

"It's really a sprain, you bear the pain a little bit, and I'll straighten it up."

"Ah."

She responded, but her pale face was extremely ugly. Xu Baozhu thought she was afraid of pain, so she turned to Zhu Yun and said, "Master, come and help me hold Maizi's shoulder, don't let her move around."

Zhu Yunde came over and put his hand on the person's shoulder to hold it down. Maizi looked up at the person. Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Baozhu moved neatly and twisted the dislocated ankle bone back.

"Try again, can you go?"

Maizi tried to stand up, but it seemed very difficult, she couldn't stand at all, Xu Baozhu couldn't help frowning, "It doesn't look easy."

She looked around.

It's still a long way from their home.

"I'll carry you on my back, and let my father show you when I get home."

She is studying medicine, although this knowledge is also involved, but it is not a professional after all, and it is not as good as the old man Xu's more than [-] years of medical experience.

"That's not good?"

"fine."

After all, Xu Baozhu lowered her body and motioned for her to come up. Maizi looked at Zhu Yun, but she didn't move.

"I've wronged you so much, I'd better go by myself." The man said stubbornly, and was about to move forward, but he fell down after taking two steps.

"That's all." Xu Baozhu looked at Zhu Yun, "Why don't you..."

She originally proposed to carry someone on her own, considering that they paid more attention to the defense of men and women, but she felt sorry for herself and was unwilling, and she couldn't walk right now.

Zhu Yun was in a bit of a dilemma. He would pass by many people along the way. If he let them see him, his reputation would be humiliated. I'm afraid there will be other gossip in the village.

"What are you thinking?"

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Xu Baozhu didn't make a sound for a long time, and her expression was a little ugly.

It was too cold this day, she wanted to go back early, and she didn't want to spend time here in the cold.

"nothing."

Be urgent.

Zhu Yun shook his heart, took a step back, and bowed, "That would be abrupt."

After finishing speaking, he hugged Maizi by the waist, Xu Baozhu hurriedly followed, and the three of them walked towards home.

The so-called fear of what will come.

It was a very cold day, originally many people stayed put and didn't go out, but they always had to come out to collect some firewood, so they just saw it and wanted to ask one more question.

"Yo, baby girl, what's the matter?"

Xu Baozhu said: "Our relative has a sprained ankle and can't walk."

She is well aware of the power of rumors in the village. Earlier, she and Qian Cheng hadn't even seen a shadow of it. It would be a big loss to her reputation if it was spread in this village as if it were true. Now it is like this. People speculated and discussed, so she didn't shy away from it, and simply said it frankly.

"It's very cold today, it's easy to fall, so be careful."

"Understood, thank you for your concern, Auntie."

See, there's no harm in admitting it freely.

When we got home, the old man Xu hurriedly took it, "Oh, why are you still hurt?"

"The Tianlong road is too narrow, it's not easy to walk, and if you accidentally step on it." Xu Baozhu explained, and then said: "Father, let me take a good look at it. I just dealt with it briefly, but it doesn't seem to work."

"Okay, okay." The old man Xu agreed, and said, "You two are tired from the journey, let's rest for a while, and let Ah Qing bring you a bowl of hot tea to warm up."

"Hey."

Xu Baozhu turned and went into the kitchen, followed by Zhu Yun. He hesitated for a while, wanting to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"what happened?"

Xu Baozhu poured a bowl of tea and handed it to him, and gestured to Ah Qing: "Ah Qing, go and rest, I'll come here."

"It's not really a big deal."

Zhu Yun went to the side and sat down, sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this."

He drank the tea in one gulp and walked out.

"baffling."

In a blink of an eye, it is the New Year's Eve.

This was the most lively New Year's Eve that Xu Baozhu's family had, and it was also the one with the most sumptuous food. She even went to the county to buy some firecrackers and set them off.

But the more lively the day, the more sentimental it was. After the old man had eaten, he went into his room and didn't come out again.

"Daddy?"

When Xu Baozhu went in, she saw people weeping silently over a pile of old clothes, and she immediately understood what was going on.

Originally wanted to comfort him, but suddenly felt that he had no position, froze there for a long time, and in the end there was only one sentence: "I'm sorry, Dad."

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?"

The old man Xu wiped away the tears on his face, "I remembered the girl's mother and her, but it has nothing to do with you, alas."

The man sighed and said: "You are very good, but if even I can't remember them, then no one in this world will remember them anymore, whether it's that timid girl from before or you. my child……"

"I understand, Dad."
