Chapter 14

Back in the front yard, it was already dark, but fortunately there was a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, so we could see something clearly.In the silent night, Xu Xiaofu and He Hua stepped on the snow and creaked and creaked, He Hua was even afraid that Mrs. Zheng would hear their footsteps, so she was timid and walked on tiptoe.

Even so, Mrs. Zheng in the house also heard the commotion outside.

"Little Sao Hoof doesn't know where he's gone all day long! He doesn't do anything, he's a lazy bastard, he's going to die..." Mrs. Zheng started scolding almost immediately.

Xu Xiaofu has long been used to it, and it would be really strange if he didn't hear Mrs. Zheng's scolding when he came back one day.Sometimes Xu Xiaofu hated this old lady Zheng very much, when cooking in the kitchen, he even hesitated whether to use the food to put this old lady Zheng down, but in the end he endured it.For her, food is to be eaten, to save people, to be beautiful, and food should not be used to harm people.

Mrs. Zheng cursed endlessly, and after a while Zheng Shiwen became a little impatient, "Mother, what time is it, and are you still letting people sleep? Let's take a rest now." Then Mrs. Zheng stopped talking.

Xu Xiaofu took the lotus back to the room to rest.

Early the next morning, Xu Xiaofu wanted to go out, but he was stopped by Zheng Shiwen, "A few days ago, I found out that your brother was sick, which made you run back all day. Now it's snowing, and the road is not good. Let's go, and your brother's illness should be better, and Ruyi is also pregnant, so you don't have to run to your mother's house all the time, and greet Ruyi at home."

Xu Xiaofu raised his head, and looked at Liu Shi next to him in surprise, Liu Shi looked at her proudly, raised his chin high, and retched twice while holding the handkerchief in a pretentious gesture.

Xu Xiaofu smiled and said: "Then I'll cook before going out. Xiaofei is not in good health. I have to visit him every day to be at ease. Mr. Gong, let me go."

Zheng Shiwen frowned, glanced at Xu Xiaofu, turned around and left without saying anything.

Mrs. Liu was a little aggrieved, she glared at Xu Xiaofu, and said again: "Sister, I want to eat millet porridge in the morning, please help me make it finer..." After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to chase Zheng Shiwen who went back to the room .

Xu Xiaofu took Hehua to cook, asked Hehua to help watch the fire, and asked Mrs. Zheng for a handful of polished rice. Mrs. Zheng gave her two handfuls after thinking about it, "Your siblings should also take care of themselves... "

Then I went to the kitchen to cook rice porridge, and brought up a radish from the cellar, and fried a sour shredded radish.Finally, I cooked a pot of sweet potatoes mixed with cornmeal.Xu Xiaofu really likes to eat this mush made from boiled sweet potato and cornmeal. This food nourishes her stomach. She has a bad stomach, so she should eat more.

Not much, Zheng Xiaolian entered the kitchen wearily, looked around, found that the shredded radish fried by Xu Xiaofu had been vinegared, so she didn't say much, then moved a small stool and sat next to the stove to keep warm, dazed. Staring blankly at the snowflakes fluttering outside the door.

Zheng Xiaolian hasn't jumped around much these days. Since she was told by Aunt Hua last time, the Zheng family went to the Chen family again. The Chen family still refused to let Chen Qingsheng marry Zheng Xiaolian. There was no sign of Qingsheng.

After breakfast, Mrs. Zheng was still unwilling, and took Zheng Shiwen, Zheng Shihua, and Zheng Xiaolian to Chen's house. It happened that Xu Xiaofu was going back to Xu's house, so they stopped by and went out together.

Along the way, Zheng Xiaolian was a little out of spirits, and seemed to be a little worried.

Mrs. Zheng probably knew that Xu Xiaofu knew about Zheng Xiaolian's pregnancy, so she didn't avoid Xu Xiaofu much along the way, and she scolded Zheng Xiaolian all the way, "You little bastard, I told you not to talk to that kid from the Chen family. Come and go, you don’t believe it, now you’ve been pregnant by others, it’s up to you what to do in the future! If you don’t see that kid this time, you can only grab the medicine and beat the evil in your stomach!”

Zheng Xiaolian immediately turned pale.

Soon they came to the gate of the Chen family, and just as everyone was about to knock on the door, the door of the Chen family was opened from the inside, revealing a handsome face, it was Chen Qingsheng.

Chen Qingsheng obviously did not expect that the Zheng family would come to the door this early in the morning, and stared blankly at the few people outside.

As soon as Mrs. Zheng saw Chen Qingsheng, she immediately yelled, stepped forward and grabbed Chen Qingsheng's skirt, and cursed angrily: "You little bastard is finally willing to show up today, aren't you? What are you going to hide from our Xiaolian?" when?"

Zheng Xiaolian was very excited when she saw Chen Qingsheng, and tearfully called Brother Qingsheng.

Now it is snowing, the weather is cold, the road is empty, and there are no pedestrians.

Xu Xiaofu pulled He Hua and stood aside, intending to wait for the excitement before leaving.

Chen Qingsheng gave Zheng Xiaolian an embarrassed look, but said nothing.

Mrs. Zheng continued to yell, "When are you going to marry our Xiaolian, you little bastard?" Just as she was talking, Mrs. Chen also ran over in a hurry, stepped forward and scratched Mrs. Zheng's face, and said loudly. Shouted: "You old woman, let go of my son!"

Mrs. Zheng groaned in pain, and shouted to the two sons behind her, "Da Lang, Er Lang, what are you still doing, you didn't see my old lady being beaten!"

Zheng Shiwen didn't seem to see it, and stood aside with his arms folded. Only Zheng Shihua stepped forward and pulled Mrs. Chen away, "Aunt Chen, please speak carefully. Don't hurt my mother. Now your son made a mistake." First of all, you guys are always avoiding us, this is unreasonable, there must be a solution to this matter, in my opinion, just marry Xiaolian for her birthday."

Mrs. Chen waved Zheng Shihua's hand away, and howled, "Why do you say that Xiao Lian had a seed in her stomach and said it was our family's birthday celebration? Who knew she was conceived with that wild man! Shameless coquette Huo still insists on relying on our Chen family, our Chen family didn't take advantage of you to humiliate you so casually!"

Zheng Xiaolian who was next to her blushed angrily, looked at Mrs. Chen and said angrily, "Aunt Chen, is it your family's flesh and blood? Your son knows best!" After finishing speaking, she looked at Chen Qingsheng who had been standing silently by the side, Chuchu said pitifully: "Brother Qingsheng, you said that you will marry me when I follow you. You can't lie to me. Now I am pregnant with your flesh and blood. If you refuse to marry me, I will just marry you." I can die at the gate of your house!"

Chen Qingsheng shrank back timidly, lowered his head, and said after a while: "Xiaolian...who...who knows who the child in your stomach is, you are so unreasonable Self-love, before you get married...you will be with me...who knows if you will be with someone else..."

Zheng Xiaolian stared at Chen Qingsheng who turned his face and refused to recognize anyone in front of him, dumbfounded.

Mrs. Chen also shouted: "That's not true, who knows if you will be with someone else, and then rely on us to celebrate your birthday."

Finally, Zheng Xiaolian couldn't stand the insult, and was about to bump into the wall next to her crying, but was held back by Zheng Shihua beside her.Xu Xiaofu lost interest when he saw this, and he didn't have any sympathy for Zheng Xiaolian, this was entirely her own fault.

Walking away with the lotus, Mrs. Zheng's crying and scolding sounded behind her.

When he came to Xu's house, Xu Xiaofu found out that his second brother Xu Qingshan didn't go to the pier today, "Second brother, didn't he go to the pier today? That's right, in this cold weather, it's better to help mother light the fire at home instead of going out to do some work." of."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang ran out of the kitchen, and said to Xu Xiaofu, "Your second brother caught a cold last night, and his head was still burning this morning, so he was still thinking about going to the pier, so I stopped him. If he wants to invite a doctor, he insists on not letting me go, saying that I am going to invite a doctor, he will go to the pier immediately, Xiaofu, go and persuade your second brother to go."

Xu Xiaofu sighed inwardly, the second brother was afraid of spending the family's money.She knew that the second elder brother would definitely not invite the doctor, so she had no such plan, and said to Wang: "Mother, prepare some strong wine and let daddy help the second elder brother wipe his body, then drink more boiled water, and cover him a few more times." Bed quilt, it’s almost healed after sweating. Just let dad stay at home and watch the second brother, and I will continue to sell soup with you without a dock later.”

Mrs. Wang was very convinced by Xu Xiaofu's words, first went to buy some spirits and gave them to Father Xu, and asked Father Xu to help Xu Qingshan wipe his body, and then boiled a pot of boiling water for Xu Qingshan to drink. He took two quilts and covered him.

For the rest of the day, Xu Xiaofu still ran to Xu's house in the wind and snow every day. She didn't feel relieved when the younger brother was not well. Fortunately, the younger brother's health gradually recovered.Wang's was able to support the stall by himself, so Xu Xiaofu reduced the number of times he went back to Xu's house.

As for Zheng Xiaolian of the Zheng family, Xu Xiaofu knew that the Chen family finally let go, saying that Zheng Xiaolian was willing to be Chen Qingsheng's concubine and let her in, otherwise he would not care about her life or death.Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to agree. Zheng Xiaolian stayed at home depressed all these days.

Zheng Xiaolian came to Chen's house as a concubine, and she just waited for the spring to be brought into Chen's house.

The heavy snowfall stopped after a few days, Xu Xiaofu knew that this was just the first snowfall, and there should be several more snowfalls in the future.

The weather is good these few days, Xu Xiaofu went back to Xu's house to have a look, Xiaofei is much better, Qingshan also went back to the dock to help, Wang still goes to the dock to sell soup every day.

As soon as she came back that day, Mrs. Zheng rushed in front of her angrily, and said angrily: "Little hoof, why does your mother sell soup at the pier?"

Xu Xiaofu glanced at her inexplicably, "What does it matter to you that my mother sells soup?"

Mrs. Zheng screamed, "Why don't you care about my business? You gave the soup to your mother for the meeting, right? Don't think I don't know, your mother told me it was your way!"

Xu Xiaofu continued to be puzzled, "Then what does it matter to you?" This old woman must be full and wants to take care of everything!
