Chapter 15 New Home

What impressed her deeply was that before Zhao Youqiang married his mother, Grandma Zhao went to do their horoscopes for them.

The goddess said that if the mother's seal star is strong and she has many women, she will be afraid of having no children.

For this reason, Grandma Zhao was very reluctant. I heard that she cried, made trouble, and hung herself in an attempt to stop her. Unfortunately, Uncle Zhao himself refused to turn around and said that he would marry her even if she could not have any children in the future.

Now that it was her turn, she felt that her weight in Zhao Youqiang's heart was a little too light. If her cheap father was unwilling to shoulder the responsibility for her and his biological mother, then she would not be able to live peacefully in the Zhao family.

Xiao Hong now wants to live in peace for a few years and then go to the city to make money, so she is thinking in her mind, should she take the opportunity to visit the fortune teller?

When they slowly returned to Zhacun, they met more and more people on the road.

It's past four o'clock now, and the sun is not that strong anymore. Everyone will go to work in the fields at this time.

Now seeing Xiao Hong sitting in Zhao Youqiang's ox cart, she naturally wanted to ask a few questions about what kind of relatives Zhao Youqiang had brought?

Although Xiao Hong also came to Zhacun for a few days a few years ago, she had not yet opened her eyes at that time, and everyone had forgotten who she was.

Nowadays, it is very common among relatives for children to stay for a week during summer vacation.

Zhao Youqiang didn't hide it, and said with a smile that it was Xiao Fang's sister who came to live at home.

We can’t hide this matter anyway, why not talk about it openly?

Of course, he also kept it in mind and didn't say that Xiao Hong would stay at home from now on.

Zha Village is actually on Zha Mountain.

The mountains here are very high. In the past, only small roads could pass through. But more than ten years ago, the government worked together with people from five small villages on the mountain to build the mountain road into a road that can pass small trucks. It took three years.

The mountain road also built a small reservoir.

Of course, there was no cement road at that time. The people living in Zhacun were very happy to have a mountain road for driving cattle carts.

After all, they had to rely on manpower to pick out the grain before.

Zhacun is also notoriously poor.

Now everyone feels that life is getting better and better.

Zha Village is right above the reservoir. Everyone's houses are built against the mountain, and few use bricks. Most of the houses are built with wood.

I heard that there were a lot of wild boars and wild wolves here a long time ago, which caused harm to several children. For safety, they mostly built two-story houses, with the kitchen and living room below, piled with debris, or the adults in the family lived upstairs.

Let the children of the family live there.

Xiao Hong still remembers that when she came here a few years ago, she was afraid that the floor would collapse and she would fall when she went upstairs.

The ox cart could not reach the door of his house, so Zhao Youqiang first carried the two boxes home, and then hurriedly returned the ox cart to others.

Xiao Hong followed her mother to go to Zhao's house for a while, and she had to climb a hill. There were stone steps along the way, and there were scattered families living on both sides. Chickens, ducks and geese were running around. She listened to her mother and other people chatting all the way to Zhao.

Home.

The main reason was that when Zhao Youqiang separated his family, houses had already been built on the better terrain in the village, so he had no choice but to look for a place to build a house above.

The courtyard, which is as high as one person, is made of stone, and there are two spacious two-story semi-old wooden houses.

Xiao Hong stood in the yard and was surprised: "This yard is well built!"

She still remembered that when she came here a few years ago, there was no such yard, and a wild badger happened to rush in and steal the chickens. The bloody scene frightened her.

Xiao Fang pursed her lips and smiled: "Mom decided to build a yard because she was afraid of scaring you again."

Of course these words were meant to coax her.

My mother was worried that my sister was still young, and if they didn't have a yard, they might be injured by wild badgers or the like if they were negligent.

She said that Xiao Hong was really unlucky. A few years ago, she encountered a wild badger at home. When she went to chop bamboo in the bamboo forest, she was almost injured by a snake in the bamboo forest.

She saw with her own eyes the green snake coiled on the bamboo, making an attack gesture. Fortunately, Father Zhao had quick eyesight and pulled Xiao Hong over.

After Xiao Hong came to her senses, she immediately cried and wanted to go home, unwilling to stay any longer.

Of course, Xiao Fang, a bystander, was actually frightened. Fortunately, her parents did not let her go to the bamboo forest again.

"Xiao Hong, you go upstairs and clean up for yourself." After Wu Julan finished speaking, she quickly went to the pig pen and chicken coop behind the house to see her poultry.

This is one of the family's sources of income, and she still has to see it in person before she can feel at ease.

In fact, Xiao Hong wished she was busy, otherwise she would have to pack her luggage for her, and she would be worried that she would discover the treasure she brought out?

Xiao Hong was also thinking about where she should put the box to be safer.

After all, the padlock on the box can only protect against gentlemen, not villains.

Carrying the box and walking up the wooden stairs to the upper floor.

The treads upstairs are made of wood, the wall used to separate them is also made of wood, and there is a door between the two rooms.

"Yanyan and I are sleeping in the outer room now," Xiao Fang didn't dare to make a decision for her: "The room inside is empty now, but there are some sundries there. If you are willing, the three of us can sleep together?"

Xiao Hong went to the inner room and took a look. There was only a diabolo bed inside, with some old baskets and other things placed on it.

She was overjoyed that she could finally have her own space: "I'm used to sleeping alone, so I'll just sleep in this room inside?"

"That's okay," Xiao Fang saw that she wasn't unhappy, so she smiled and said, "Then I'll go down and get some water to wipe it off."

While Xiao Fang went downstairs, Xiao Hong also walked around the room, then opened the small window and looked at the village below and the reservoir not far away. The lush trees opposite the reservoir can also be regarded as beautiful scenery.

A great place with fresh air.

After a while, Wu Julan came up with a bucket and a torn towel. Looking at the simple room, she couldn't help but sigh: "If you want to live in this room, let's clean it first. When your Uncle Zhao is free, let him give it to you."

Make some furniture.”

Although Zhao Youqiang is a bamboo craftsman, his second brother is a carpenter. Sometimes when his second brother receives a job, he will ask him to help. After a long time, Zhao Youqiang will also do some simple carpentry work.

"Okay," Xiao Hong said with a smile: "Then I will prepare the dishes and thank Uncle Zhao."

Wu Julan was originally worried that Xiao Hong was careless and disliked the simplicity, but now she heard that she was so sensible, and felt heartbroken. She thought that after her mother-in-law was gone, her daughter suffered a lot of injustice, so that she could become as sensible as she is now.

Therefore, she was reluctant to let her daughters work, and found an excuse to send them out: "I will clean up here. You go to the agency store to buy a few bags of salt. I am going to pickle some eggs and duck eggs, and buy a few bottles of soda."

"

When she came back and passed by Qiancun, Xiao Fang pointed out to her that there was no agency store in Zhacun. She had to walk more than two miles to get to Qiancun in front of her.

Xiao Hong felt happy when she thought that the fortune teller's home was also in Qiancun. It was a good thing that she fell asleep on the pillow.
