After a while, Li and the other two went to the field to do their work.

Da Zhuang came to find Amu, and together with the other children, he played eagle catching chicks at the door. Xu Qiuer was called to be a "hen". Da Zhuang, who had the strongest body, was an eagle. Ningxiang sat on the big stone on the side of the door, and the poplar trees cast a shade on the side. She leaned against the wall behind her and watched them play with a smile.

Only Amu was left with the five "chicken". The little guy held Xu Qiuer's clothes tightly, his face flushed and laughed constantly.

Ningxiang couldn't help laughing.

The sound of hoofs suddenly came from the intersection of the west street. Because there was a donkey in Lu Cheng's family, Ningxiang was nervous when she heard the sound of hoofs. She turned her head to look over, but saw that the donkey that was first exposed was much smaller than the other end of Lu Cheng's family. While she was relaxed, the man who was driving the car was also exposed.

"Brother!" Dazhuang shouted loudly when he saw his brother coming back.

Amu also looked over. As soon as he poked his head out, he saw Dazhuang rushing towards him. Amu screamed and pulled his second sister hard.

Xu Qiuer was not careful and was staggered by her cousin. Dazhuang rushed over and the three of them hit each other and fell.

"Is it okay?" Ningxiang hurried over.

"I'm fine!" Amu patted his butt and stood up, laughing at his sister.

The boy is not afraid of falling, so Ningxiang goes to help Xu Qiuer.

"Dazhuang, you are a ox!" Xu Qiuer's stomach hurt so much that she was hit by Dazhuang, and she said angrily.

Da Zhuang knew that he had made a mistake, so he turned around and ran to the donkey cart that had just parked at the door of his house. He ignored the people who got out of the car and went to see if there were any good things in the car.

His brother Zhang Biao whispered something. Seeing that his younger brother didn't listen, Zhang Biao looked a little embarrassed and stood beside the car and conspired with Xiang, "Why is Xiang'er at home today?"

He is eighteen years old this year, the same age as Xu Huai, and lives next door to his family. He looks up and sees him. Xu Huai's two sisters are also the sisters in his eyes. He just looks at the graceful and graceful girl who is more than ten steps away, the girl who sells herself in the Marquis's Mansion and returns home only once a month. Zhang Biao suddenly cannot connect her with the thin and small sister Xianger when he was a child.

When he was a child, Ningxiang touched her head when he met. Zhang Biao didn't look at the big girl in front of him.

"My sister has redeemed her and will be at home every day from now on!" Amu stood beside her sister and said with a smile.

Zhang Biao looked at Ningxiang in shock.

Seeing Ningxiang unfamiliar, Ningxiang faced the tall and strong brother next door who had not seen him several times in more than three years and was no longer as intimate as a child. She smiled and nodded, her eyes fell behind Zhang Biao, and recognized that the girl in her teens was Zhang Biao's little cousin Liu Ye, and a trace of turmoil broke out in her heart.

Liu Ye also recognized her and looked up. Seeing that her cousin was indeed staring at Ningxiang with good eyes, she secretly pulled her cousin's sleeve and threatened in a low voice: "Cousin looks at her again, and when I go home, I will tell my sister to go!"

Zhang Biao and her sister Liu Zhi have already been married and will get married in September.

Her voice said whether it was high or not. Zhang Biao looked at Ningxiang nervously. Seeing her lowered her head and patting the soil behind Amu, she wondered if she had heard the little cousin's words. Zhang Biao was extremely embarrassed and glared at the little cousin, then said to Ningxiang: "This is a good thing. Congratulations to Xiang'er. Then you can continue playing, we'll go in first."

Turning back, let Liu Ye Dazhuang stand aside, he led the donkey cart into the side.

Dazhuang followed his brother closely.

Liuye fell a few steps behind. When he quickly entered the gate, he raised his chin to Ningxiang and snorted: "When did you come back? I haven't told your uncle yet. I'll go home tomorrow. Do I need me to pass the message on your behalf? Just give me five cents!"

Her family lives in the same village as Ningxiang’s uncle’s house, about ten miles away from Liuxi Village.

"Do you want to give me a slap?" The little girl was so thoughtful at such a young age, and Xu Qiuer glared at her eyes and scolded.

They refused to give the money, Liu Ye snorted again and walked into her aunt's door with brisk steps.

"Sister doesn't have to pay attention to her." Xu Qiuer took her cousin's arm and walked to her home. "They obviously had money to borrow money from my sister but refused to give it to you. I don't care about my own sister's nephew's life or death. What does such an uncle care about him? Anyway, I haven't contacted me for so many years, so I'll just treat the door as a break."

Ningxiang lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Amu raised his head and whispered to his sister: "Last year, my uncle gave me New Year's money."

Ningxiang knew that his uncle came here secretly, gave his younger brother two cents and left. When she returned home, his younger brother gave her the money.

She also knew that it was not that my uncle didn't want to lend her money, but that my aunt returned to her parents' home with money. My uncle went to find her, but she refused to give her anything. The two had a big quarrel, and my uncle robbed her. My aunt, who was pregnant, covered her stomach and complained that her stomach hurt. My uncle, like Uncle Zhang next door, was honest. She usually listened to whatever her wife said. It was not easy to do this. Ningxiang didn't want her uncle and aunt to quarrel because of their quarrel, so she went to find a dentist.

She didn't hate her uncle. It was useless for her uncle to be angry with her uncle and she didn't allow her to come to her home gate again. She was watched by her aunt and could only come secretly. And I don't know how long my uncle saved the two coins of silver on his back.

Seeing that his cousin looked sad, Xu Qiuer closed her mouth tactfully.

The next morning, Ningxiang got up early and opened the door. She accidentally saw Zhang Biao turn over from there. She didn't know where she went early in the morning.

"Brother Zhang." Ningxiang greeted him politely.

Zhang Biao hesitated. When his fiancée was a child, she thought he was kind to the two sisters of the Xu family. If she knew that he helped Ningxiang, she would definitely be angry with him again. But looking at the soft and quiet girl standing in front of the door, Zhang Biao slowly walked towards Ningxiang a few steps and stuttered: "Xiang'er, I, I'll take Liuye back after breakfast. Do you need me to tell you about your uncle?"

Ningxiang thought about it and said that she had redeemed such a big deal. She told her uncle, and then said gratefully: "If Brother Zhang is convenient, then you can tell me. If you can't get rid of your own things, you don't have to go there."

Zhang Biao nodded, looked into the Xu family's yard, and said as he walked, "Then you go busy, I'm back."

Ningxiang nodded and watched Zhang Biao walk towards the next door. She turned around and fetched water and washed.

After a while, Zhang Biao came back and told her that he had already said that, and said to her uncle Zhang Man in person, "He said he would come to see you when he has time."

Ningxiang smiled and chatted with Zhang Biao for a few words, "Brother Zhang is about to have a happy event, I haven't congratulated you yet."

She knew Liuzhi, and her temper was a bit similar to that of the willow leaves yesterday. I don’t know how much she has changed over the years.

When Zhang Biao heard her mention her fiancée, she felt guilty and found an excuse to go home in a hurry.

Ningxiang did not take this matter seriously. With her understanding of her uncle, she would definitely have to wait a while even if she came.

The next day was the ninth day of the year, and there was a market in the town.

Li took his niece and daughter to the market. Amu liked to go to the market the most, so of course he followed him.

Coincidentally, if they want to go to the town, they have to pass through Donglin Village and continue to walk north.

When he walked into Donglin Village along the main road, Ningxiang was extremely nervous, afraid that Lu Cheng would have been waiting for "accidentally" in the village early, so he didn't dare to look at it, and was afraid that he would suddenly appear from somewhere. It felt like he had walked into a place full of danger, and his heart was hanging.

"I don't know where Lu Cheng's family lives." After eating the rabbit sent by Lu Cheng, Li is naturally curious when he comes to Donglin Village.

"Brother Lu said that their family lives in the east of the village. Standing on the roof, you can see the roof of our house, but you just can't see the people clearly." Amu, who accompanied Brother Lu to put the eagle twice, raised his head and said.

Ningxiang couldn't help but look at the east of the village.

They were going to pass through the main road in the middle of Donglin Village, and they had already passed the east of the village.

Although he guessed that Lu Cheng would probably not wait for her in the village, Ningxiang was still worried. It was not until he walked out of Donglin Village and walked on the dirt road leading to the town, and there was no Lu Cheng in front and behind that Ningxiang was truly relieved.

She couldn't even tell what was going on. She clearly agreed to make it with him, but she was even more afraid of meeting him, and she felt nervous just thinking about it.

As I walked, I came to a stone bridge, five or six meters wide, and the Beihe River was below, flowing eastward. It was the time for the water to be high in summer. The riverbed was undulating and steep, and the river water ran wildly, and it splashed a string of water droplets on the stone. Listening to the sound of water, Ningxiang's face turned pale and she couldn't help but pull her brother to her side.

Xu Qiuer didn't know her sister's concern and whispered: "It rained heavily last year. I heard that the bridge was flooded. When the water surged, someone happened to be on the bridge and rushed away all of a sudden."

"Then has he swam up?" Ningxiang asked with heartache.

"He swam up, he was lucky. When he rushed to us, he hugged a fallen tree, but he was also scared to death." Xu Qiuer's tone was pure gossiping.

Li found that his niece looked wrong and lit her daughter's head, not allowing her to say such things again.

After crossing the bridge, I walked another cup of tea and arrived at the town. The market was placed on an open space in the south of the town. Those who sold grain, vegetables, baskets, kitchenware, chickens, ducks, livestock, clothes, cloth and jewelry, and snacks and cooked food gathered together. Villagers within a radius of ten miles came here to the market, and many people gathered early.

Of course, there are many shops in the town, such as clothes and jewelry, but the things there are more expensive than those in the market. If you want to buy good things at home, go to the shop if you don’t have money, and if you want to dress up, go to the market if you don’t have money, you can talk about the price. Generally, stall owners who sell ten cents can talk about three or four cents. The cheaper depends on whether they are good or not.

Li is a thrifty person and only plans to go shopping in the market and lead the children there directly.

Ningxiang began to secretly search for Lu Cheng's figure again.

I looked around but couldn't see it.

Ningxiang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

I was afraid of seeing him, but I didn't see him. The place where I was nervous and jumped up just now suddenly became empty again.

"Buy cloth first, and then buy chickens in the end, so as to save the inconvenience of buying it early." Li said to his niece as he walked.

Ningxiang was about to nod, but Xu Qiuer held her arm and turned to the Rouge stall, and said playfully: "Mom, go pick up the cloth first, my sister and I will check the comb Rouge, and we will find you later."

She knows her mother best, and she has to compare everything she buys, which takes time.

The little girls were all so beautiful. Li shook his head helplessly and told them to come here early.

Ningxiang responded with a smile, holding his younger brother tightly with one hand, and protecting him at all times so as not to be hit by people coming and going.

"Sister Xu, you are here too!"

After shoulder to shoulder, Ningxiang suddenly heard A Tao's voice. He followed the sound and saw A Tao standing in front of a jewelry stall, waving happily at them.

Ningxiang smiled at the little girl and looked nervously at her.

But I only saw a woman of the same age as my aunt. There were two beautiful girls standing in front of me. One looked at her twelve or thirteen years old, and the other was about ten years old. Both had white and moist peach eyes with moist faces. I looked at her curiously, and it was obvious that she was in the same group as A Tao.

A guess suddenly popped up in his mind. Ningxiang was even more nervous because she didn't see Lu Cheng's disappointment.

That woman with white facial features but very pretty face is not outstanding. Isn’t it Aunt Lu Cheng?

As a devil, Ningxiang quietly cleaned her hair.
