Chapter 5 Big Brother is here
Aman subconsciously protected Xu Jiaoxing, but it caused Gu Qiushi to sneer: "Aman, go, your mother and I have something to say, but the child can't listen."
"Gu Qiushi, this is my family. You don't have the right amount to say anything. You can leave quickly, otherwise I'm not polite!" Xu Jiaoxing's voice was cold. It would be great if she didn't expose him to a rude person like Gu Qiushi.
Gu Qiushi never expected Xu Jiaoxing to be so fierce. He was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief: "Xu, Xu Jiaoxing, who gave you the courage to talk to me like this! Don't you want to live?"
Xu Jiaoxing sneered, threw the basket, and shouted to the surroundings with her waist: "Come on, let's ask someone to see how you bully our orphans and widows!"
Gu Qiushi wanted to threaten Xu Jiaoxing, but she didn't expect that she was not afraid at all. Thinking of her own plan, he quickly changed his words: "Xing'er, don't be excited, I just want to care about you. You said you had to move out and there was no man at home. What if you were bullied?"
Xu Jiaoxing sneered: "Gu Qiushi, you haven't been beaten enough that night, so you still have to be beaten?"
Gu Qiushi's mouth trembled and pointed at Xu Jiaoxing for a long time. Finally, he came back to his senses: "You, you know it's me, but you still dare to fight!"
"I'm the one who beats you, Gu Qiushi, get out of here if you know the truth, otherwise I'll hit you!" Xu Jiaoxing said coldly, pulled Aman and walked into the house.
"You stinky girl!" Gu Qiushi gritted his teeth and cursed. Now, his body was still hurting so much that he wanted to catch up and let out a sigh of anger. Unexpectedly, Xu Jiaoxing actually locked him outside with a "bang".
Thinking of the more than acre of dry land and Xu Jiaoxing's figure, Gu Qiushi spitted and cursed secretly: "Wait for me and see how I deal with you!"
At this time, in the melon shed, Aman watched Gu Qiushi walk away through the crack in the door, and then whispered: "Mom, you are so awesome."
Xu Jiaoxing was funny. She put the carp in the tank, picked some wild vegetables from the back of the house, stirred the gnocchi in the pot, and the mother sat in front of the melon shed for lunch, and then took the money to Yang's blacksmith's house at the village entrance.
The Yang family has been blacksmiths for generations. Not only is it sold cheaper than in the town, but the quality is good. Xu Jiaoxing sorted out the iron tools she wanted to buy, and thought about the money she spent today. She felt ache in her heart. She just wanted to quickly turn out the dry land and do some other business to make money.
Just as he arrived at the gate of the Yang family yard, Xu Jiaoxing poked his head into the room, and saw a strong man about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a naked upper body and pulling a bellows.
He is Yang Shuisheng, the nephew of Yang Blacksmith, but Xu Jiaoxing can't like him. He is a famous slut. He has never done any serious things since he was a child. Just two years ago, his father spent a lot of effort to send him to the county as an apprentice, and he offended the master's family and was driven back.
It is really rare to be able to stay in the house to make a blacksmith now.
Suddenly, the sound of the bellows of "Hulala" stopped. Yang Shuisheng wiped his face with a sweat towel and looked at her.
"Is Blacksmith Yang here? I want to buy a hoe, sickle, door lock, and a big iron pot." Xu Jiaoxing walked towards the courtyard and explained the reason directly.
Yang Shuisheng obviously did not expect that the person would be her. A look of surprise flashed by, and a hint of smile appeared on his already dark face, which led her to walk towards the open cottage beside him.
When he arrived in the room, Xu Jiaoxing really saw some iron tools. Xu Jiaoxing took a sickle and touched the blade. Then Yang Shuisheng laughed jokingly and said, "Little widow, be careful to cut your hands!"
"My mother is not a widow!" Aman shouted in dissatisfaction.
Xu Jiaoxing lowered her head and smiled at him, "Aman, how do you teach you on weekdays? We should be well-educated as human beings."
Yang Shuisheng raised his eyebrows with his arms held his arms. Why did he think Xu Jiaoxing had other words?
At this time, Xu Jiaoxing had already gone straight to select iron tools.
When he put the last big iron pot on the backpack, he heard Yang Shuisheng say: "There are thirty cents in total."
Xu Jiaoxing paid him money and suddenly spoke: "Do you recognize words? Do you know how to write widow's widow? If you don't know, you'd be embarrassed to say it?"
She grinned at him with a wide smile, carried the basket on her back and took Aman's little hand, and then walked out of the yard.
Yang Shuisheng looked at Xu Jiaoxing's figure in surprise, and a thick eyebrows frowned tightly. At this moment, he finally understood that this little widow was scolding him!
After Xu Jiaoxing returned, she placed a large iron pot on a pile of stones. She couldn't build a earth stove, so she could only use it now. When she earned some money, she would also ask the craftsman to come and build a new one, and then build the roof in the melon house again.
After cleaning up, she and Aman started to clean the dry land. Because they had just cleaned it up, there were not many weeds in the dry land. Aman helped pull the weeds, while Xu Jiaoxing took a hoe and turned the ground behind him.
The sun in March is not big, and it is warm when it is sunny on people. When Xu Jiaoxing thinks that the dry land will be full of things in the future, her whole body is full of energy.
After digging for a while, Aman handed out a bowl of water from the house and said happily: "Mom, drink some water."
Xu Jiaoxing nodded, and saw that there was a lot of mud on his little face, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll take a shower for you tonight. If it's gone, let's go eat meat."
Aman's face turned red and he pouted and expressed his resistance: "Aman can wash himself."
Xu Jiaoxing is funny. Such a young child knows how shy he is?
When it was dark, Xu Jiaoxing finally dug out a small half of the floor, and it was almost like four or five minutes.
After packing the farm tools, she boiled water, wiped it briefly, and then, under Aman's repeated resistance, she harshly washed him inside and out, and then cooked the pot.
The carp I bought today was very fresh. Xu Jiaoxing used a new kitchen knife to peel and bone the carp, cut it into thin fish fillets, boiled it in water, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and finally poured half a spoonful of hot oil. Suddenly, the melon shed was filled with the smell of blanched carp.
It was dark, Xu Jiaoxing and Aman brought the water-boiled fish to the black table in the room, lit the oil lamp again, and then tied the door and met Aman's bright eyes.
"Mom, it smells so good. I'm not dreaming, right?"
Listening to his soft and glutinous voice, Xu Jiaoxing felt distressed and funny.
In the past, it was difficult to eat enough for a bun, so where would you have the opportunity to eat meat? Forget it, I have to improve his life in the future so that he will always have a pale face and lose weight, which will affect his development.
"Come on, eat more. You have to like it. I'll buy it for you next time when I go to the market." Xu Jiaoxing returned to the table and picked up some meat for Aman, then saw Aman shook his head at her.
"It's not easy for mother to make money, she saves money."
Xu Jiaoxing shook her head and wanted to say something, but there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Who!" Xu Jiaoxing's voice turned cold, thinking that it was Gu Qiushi's stupid person again, and she wanted to find a stick to hit someone, but she heard a choked male voice coming from outside: "Sister, it's me, brother."
Brother?
Before Xu Jiaoxing could react, Aman had already rushed over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a strong man appeared in front of the melon shed. Suddenly, Aman's face was filled with joy that could not be hidden: "Uncle, why are you here? Aman misses you so much."
It was Xu Dali, the original owner's elder brother. After the original owner's father died, he went to the county to be a boss. Although he was very busy, he would definitely come back to see the original owner when he had time. He could be very responsible. If it weren't for the original owner's elder brother, the original owner would have starved to death a lot.
"Sister!" Xu Dali held his thin nephew and turned back to look at Xu Jiaoxing, who was also thin. For a moment, tears filled his eyes.
