Town.

The ox cart kept rushing forward. After the bumps along the way, Tang Xiu'er became more and more unable to sit still. She always felt dizzy and swayed.

Ji Huai, who was sitting next to her (body shen) stretched out her hand to embrace her waist, and stabilized her (body shen) son.

The market is very lively today. There are stalls on both sides of the road, people coming and going, tea stalls are also full of people, noisy and lively sounds.

The bullock cart finally stopped in front of a courtyard. Although this yard is not in the market center, it is only a few blocks away.

"This is the house you rented?" Aunt Niu got out of the car and looked at the gate. Seeing Ji Huai opened the door, she followed in.

The yard is very small, with only two rooms, but at any rate it is a blue brick house. Although it is not a new house, it is spacious and undefeated.

"It's much better here than in the country. If there is a house like this in the town, it will be truly outstanding." Big Brother Niu walked in and said with emotion.

Many people in the country live in loess huts, and the poorer ones live in thatched huts. How can there be such a magnificent house? He has never seen anyone bought a house in the town, and like Aunt Niu, he also thinks that Ji Huai and his wife are renting it.

How can one afford a house?

"How much is the rent for such a house in January?" Big Brother Niu was very curious, seeing that there was a well in the courtyard, vegetables could be grown in the corner, and it was really enviable that she was in town.

They can only farm and make money, but Jihuai is different. The other party hunts and earns more than them, so they can definitely afford the rent.

"This family went to the capital. The house is no longer needed, and it is cheaper to buy. We looked at the price as the right price, and we just had the money, so we bought it." Ji Huai moved in and saw that Tang Xiu'er was also going to use it, turning his head. Said to her, "Don't move, go and rest."

"Bought it?" Big Brother Niu took a deep breath, her eyes widening.

Not only was she extremely surprised, Aunt Niu and Big Brother Niu were also stunned, and they couldn't believe it either.

Ji Huai: "Yeah."

"No matter how cheap it is, you get a lot of money." Aunt Niu followed to move things on the ox cart. When she looked at the yard, she looked more closely.

How can the rented house be the same as the bought house?

After hearing what Ji Huai said, Tang Xiu'er didn't move any heavy objects. When Big Brother Niu's wife fetched water, she also went to clean the house.

Since learning that it was the house Ji Huai and the others bought, Aunt Niu (gan gan) was very enthusiastic about her work, as if she could not use all of her strength. When she stopped halfway, she sighed and looked at Ji Huai and said to them. , "Hunting is hard and dangerous, but who in the village is as promising as you? I bought a house in the town. Your mother has a harder life than mine, so she will be happy immediately and can live in a big house. Tell me, toil I went there early all my life."

She doesn't doubt that Ji Huai's money for buying the house is unknown. A wild boar today and a deer tomorrow. Doesn’t the money come just like that?

Tang Xiu'er was standing next to her, and when she heard her talking about Mother Ji, her eyes drooped.

Although Ji’s mother will call her (gan) to work, it’s not too bad for her, because she worked harder in the Tang’s family, and was raised as Jihuai’s wife in the Ji’s family. Ji’s mother would not let her. Drop the root cause.

She still feels grateful to Ji Mu.

"My mother..." Ji Huai paused, "I hope my mother can feel relieved, and I will take good care of Xiu'er and the child."

"You said that you want to move out, so my aunt immediately agreed and rushed to move it for you. It wasn't that my aunt said, your boss and second child are really not good. Look, how long will it take to separate? You will have the money to buy a house. . All the things that I brought back from hunting and the money I made were used in it.” Aunt Niu began to complain about the other two brothers in the Ji family, and said angrily, “The three brothers, I will give you a sundries room, and you will lose this time. It collapsed and didn't hurt anyone. They just killed you, just look at it. After you move out of town, your life will definitely be getting more and more prosperous!"

"My mother is right, you have to stay away, don't believe it." Big Brother Niu also agreed.

"I believe it." Ji Huai took the call, calmed down and said, "Originally, I wanted to rebuild a room at home. When I went to the market that day, I asked the fortune teller, and my husband said the same. The three of our brothers are against each other and cannot help each other. Only by staying away can we get better."

He also used this reason to persuade Tang Xiu'er to spend all the money to buy a house in the town.

People these days, more or less believe in fate, what a fortune teller and a master of ghosts and gods say, you can't help but believe a word.

Tang Xiu'er nodded after hearing this, so she was also very obedient. Ji Huai said she would follow wherever she went, as long as she stayed away from Ji's house. Since falling out with the family, that family has been really depressed.

"Let me just say, you'll be fine when you divide the family, and you must be restrained." Aunt Niu folded her hands and patted it, looking like she had guessed a long time ago.

Ji Huai looked helpless, and said nothing.

They moved to the town rashly. The people in the village and the two brothers of the Ji family must have more discussions. If no one speaks a good word for them, they don't know what they will be like.

Aunt Niu is the matchmaker in the village. Everyone gives two pieces of noodles, and he makes friends with half of the aunts in the village. They are microphones.

The fortune teller's section was naturally made up by him. When the villagers have money, the first reaction is naturally to build a green diamond tile house in the village. The more magnificent the better, so that they can have a face, and they don't think about buying a house in the town.

He said this also to reduce Tang Xiu'er's confusion and worries.

With the help of the Niu family, the house was quickly cleaned up. Everyone is diligent, with crisp hands and feet (dry gan). After a meal of cleaning, the house still looks good, and it looks more spacious and renovated than just before.

Although she was not building a new house, she bought a house anyway. Aunt Niu is a particular person and superstitious, so Ji Huai buys firecrackers to set them off.

This is all moved to a new house, except for the bad luck, it is lively and lively.

Brother Jihuai and Niu went to the market to buy firecrackers. He not only bought firecrackers, but also bought two chickens and a catty of pigs (meat rou), ready to come back for a big meal.

There are (meat rou) dishes, and I also bought pastries and a big watermelon.

"You kid, what have you caught recently? Sold for a lot of money?" Big Brother Niu expressed his curiosity and couldn't help but want to ask.

"It's all big guys, they are all fighting their lives. I came to live in town, and I want to stop and find some work (gan gan)." Ji Huai stretched out a string of copper plates and took over the butcher's cut. (Routou), said again, "Xiu'er will give birth right away, and I won't go hunting in the mountains in the future. If something happens to me, what should they do?"

He did go to beat a few big guys behind Tang Xiu'er, and the price of the house was reduced, otherwise the money from selling ginseng would not be able to make up the money to buy a house.

Big Brother Niu just moved a little bit, and was doused by him with a basin of cold water. Thinking of Ji Huai's **** legs bitten by a big worm, his heart was also panicked, "Yes, hunting is dangerous. Don't go in the future."

It is normal for hunters to get rich. However, not everyone can (gan gan) in this business. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Ji Huai was almost killed by a big bug last time.

If you have money, you can't spend your life.

On the last way back, Ji Huai also bought five hens, and wanted to feed Tang Xiu'er to lay eggs to eat, and wait for her to give birth to her (body shen).

The two bought a lot of things and went back, and the group continued to work.

Aunt Niu's two grandsons also came, playing in the yard, eating the cakes that Ji Huai bought, and seeing (rou rou) eating again, they didn't want to go back.

The person in charge of the chef tonight is Aunt Niu. With the ingredients, she can prepare a table of dishes. At a glance, it is delicious and makes people drool.

Ji Huai also went to buy some rice wine, and a few big men drank a few glasses, but they were very interested.

That night, the Niu family didn't go back, so they slept in another room.

Although Tang Xiu'er didn't show excitement all day, she didn't fall asleep that night. She looked at the roof with her eyes open, and she still had an unreal feeling.

The room they sleep in is actually not very big, but there are windows, cabinets, and wooden (bed chuang). It's still in the town. Compared to the dim and chaotic environment of the utility room, this place is simply heaven.

Xu couldn't fall asleep even after tossing around because of the strange land. In the end, Ji Huai hugged him in his arms, suddenly feeling completely at ease in his heart, and fell asleep after a while.

On the second day, when Aunt Niu and the others were going back, Ji Huai bought them some cured meat (rou) and asked Aunt Niu, "Xiu'er is going to give birth in a few months. My mother is no longer there, and we are the first Once you become a parent, you may have to trouble Aunt Niu to take care of her for a few days."

Aunt Niu is also a refreshing person, shirking off the meat (rou), "How many days is enough? If you go to earn money, who will serve her confinement? Then I will (pump chou) (pump chou) empty, much To help you."

She had a good relationship with Ji’s mother, and they were both poor people. At any rate, she supported two sons, and the son married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a grandson. Now she is enjoying her twilight years.

Ji's mother had a hard life, and Tang Xiu'er was still young, and she couldn't see it.

As the belly grew bigger and bigger, Tang Xiu'er was actually panicked. Hearing Aunt Niu's words, her flustered heart slowly calmed down, and she whispered, "Thank you Aunt Niu."

Thank you, sincerely.

Aunt Niu waved her hand and laughed.

When he went back, Ji Huai insisted on putting the meat rou on the ox cart, and let them take back the half chicken left last night. Although Aunt Niu kept clamoring that she would leave Tang Xiu'er to repair her son, he still ignored it.

The ox cart gradually left, watching them turn before Ji Huai took Tang Xiu'er back.

There was still a dead wood in the small yard, which had been eaten away by insects. He went to the house and took the knife out and walked to the tree. Raise chickens in cages."

Tang Xiu'er followed his gaze and looked towards the corner. The chicken he bought was enclosed in that house. She pointed to the small open space next to her, "I want to grow some vegetables."

If you don’t plant it, you have to buy everything, how can you get the money?

If you are in the country, you don’t need money, you can pick wild vegetables, and you can plant the land. If you go out to the field, you will be given some food. They are helpless in the town and have children to raise. Just think about it. A little scared.

Ji Huai replied to her: "I am also idle today. I will buy seeds and plant them later. You were tired yesterday, so let's rest today."

"I'm not tired." She shook her head. After leaving Ji's house, she relaxed her heart. Now it is more convenient to live in the town. She can often embroider kerchiefs and purses to sell.

When Ji Huai cut a tree to make a cage, she embroidered a purse on the stone table beside her.

At the same time, Jijiacun.

Before, everyone was discussing the affairs of Sister Ji and Old Man Wang, and because Sister Ji was bitten by a poisonous snake, everyone said that it was retribution and talked about it happily.

The old man Wang has no less (gan gan) nasty things. Many strong men in the village also smelled that their daughter-in-law might have a leg, and some even found it, biting their teeth for the sake of face. This time, Sister Ji was discovered. It's not them, but Sister Ji and Old Man Wang can't be spared, they must be beaten vigorously.

Brother Ji was also the one who was ridiculed. He stayed at home for several days without going out. Today, he was forced to go to the ground (gans) to work. When he came back, he passed the village entrance and heard everyone discussing the Jihuai couple.

Yesterday they were walking in an ox cart, and many people in the village saw it.

"I heard that the house collapsed, and I don't know where to move."

"It's also pitiful, right? Ji Huai's leg is just right? His mother spent a lot of money when she died, and the daughter-in-law was pregnant with the child again.

"Unlucky, it was raining and windy two days ago, how could that little broken house be able to hold it?"

"Hey, did the two brothers of the Ji family do things too terribly, you say..."

....

Everyone was halfway through the discussion. Seeing that Big Brother Ji came, his (body shen) was followed by the second brother and his wife who came back from the field. Everyone stopped talking and didn't say anything.

Taking advantage of Ji's mother's death, the two brothers of the Ji family hurriedly separated, drove the Jihuai couple to the utility room and occupied the land of the house. As a result, the two couples now have no place to live. During this period of time, the two brothers also had troubles (fat) continuously. I'm afraid it is not retribution.

Since sister-in-law Ji (gan gan) like that, Brother Ji has become extra sensitive, and any sight that falls on him will be regarded as malicious by him.

He buried his head and was not ready to take care of him, and stepped up at his feet, but some people were curious and really planned to ask, "Hey, Ji Huai seems to have moved yesterday? Where is this going to move?"

"How did I know? That house can be repaired, but he didn't say that it would be repaired, so he moved out." Brother Ji also looked puzzled, and said, "He didn't tell us anything, we I was powerless and left without saying a word. I don't know where I moved. It's too much trouble."

What he said was both inside and outside: It wasn't that they didn't care, it was Ji Huai's problem.

The second brother Ji and the second sister-in-law also happened to come over and heard everyone say how difficult it is for the Jihuai couple. Tang Xiu'er is still pregnant with the child. She properly (inserted) her mouth, "Since my mother left, it is indeed not easy for the two of them. Xiu The child is still young, how do you know how to take care of a house? The two didn't repair the house, but she had to eat eggs every day, and sometimes she had (meat rou) every day. Otherwise, they could build a house. "

What she said, to outsiders, it’s not that they are mean to Jihuai and his wife. The other party’s life has been going well. It’s just that they only care about eating and drinking before they end up in such a field. It doesn’t matter to them. Thing!

Sure enough, when everyone heard it, their impression of Tang Xiu'er immediately changed, "Eating eggs every day? Ji Huai's wife is too prodigal. No wonder there is no money to repair a house."

People in the village can't eat (肉rou) a few times a year. When Tang Xiu'er eats eggs and eats (肉rou), the feeling of sympathy decreases a lot, and even feels too shameful.

"Not really. She is young and my mother is no longer there. Ji Huai was bitten and lost her life some time ago. Now she still lives in this way, eating cakes from the town from time to time. How can she survive? "Ji's sister-in-law is also helpless.

"The money Ji Huai earned from hunting is not saved to build a house. Such a trick is a real prodigal." One of the aunts shook her head and said to Ji Er's wife, "Your mother didn't teach her well when she was alive. This is not a curse. Is it home?"

Whose daughter-in-law lives like this? Marry home, can’t let the house be like a wash?

"Isn't it, the house fell down and didn't repair it, but I ate the only old hen (killing sha) in the house." Ji Ersao said about this, she didn't know what she looked like, she was real. Puzzled.

Ji Huai and Tang Xiu'er didn't show any sadness either. Instead, they (killed sha) the hen to eat, and asked the cattle family to pack their things and leave after eating.

"Isn't this a nonsense? Your mother has to get out of the coffin when she knows it!" The aunt said very hard, and she muttered Tang Xiu'er, "If this is my daughter-in-law, can't you get me to death?"

People are so strange. Just now they sympathized with the two brothers of the Ji family for bullying Ji Huai. Now, after hearing what Ji's sister-in-law said, they feel that Ji Huai and his wife "have something to hate about poor people." No one else is pregnant like Tang Xiu'er.

The women in the village are pregnant with a child, and they never stop for a day. How can someone eat eggs every day and eat them every other day (meat rou)? Isn’t that what they deserve to live in a grocery house?

The two couples are simply "delicious and lazy"!

Ji Ersao sighed and answered, "If my mother was there, they wouldn't be like this. I don't know where I moved, and I didn't say to us. Even if we divide the house, we are still a family. They just live like this. It definitely won't work."

Everyone is living a hard life. As long as you hear that Tang Xiu'er eats eggs every day and often eats (肉rou), everyone will look down and feel that Ji Huai and the others should live a hard life.

"Definitely not." The aunt sitting on the side of the fan said (强qiang) (hard ying), "Is it possible that Tang Xiu'er is still the young lady in the town? Eating eggs and eating (meatrou) every day, then I can't stay in the village. Live, you have to live in the city."

This is naturally ironic, how do people in the village get to the city? Everyone has been in the village for most of their lives, and there are many old people in the village who have been to the town several times in their lives.

Ji Er's wife listened to them discussing the Ji Huai couple's "ignorance", although they did not follow along, they were very comfortable. Even Brother Ji, who originally wanted to leave, his brows eased a lot when he heard everyone shift their contradictions to Ji Huai and the others.

At the beginning everyone was saying that their brother had treated Ji Huai badly, was mean to him, and didn't think about brotherhood. But they are also living a hard life, Ji Huai and the others did not have a hard life.

Speaking of which, they are a bit more bitter! Why did you bully and treat Ji Huai harshly?

While everyone was discussing, the Niu family came back in an ox cart. The family was talking and laughing. Ji Huai’s two grandsons secretly stuffed a small red envelope with Ji Huai, and they were showing off to Aunt Niu with those copper plates. , And also said to save to buy candied haws to eat.

When everyone saw Aunt Niu and the others came, they had already gone up with something good, "Didn't you go to help Ji Huai move? You just came back today?"

"Yes." Aunt Niu was happy.

"Where did you move? Go to another village?" the aunt asked again.

If the house here is not repaired, go to live in another village? I heard that some villages will have "unpopular households", and those houses are still good, but no one lives anyway. If you don't have a house, you can only live there.

When the other party asked, the three of the Ji family were also listening.

It is true that Ji Huai moved out to comply with their wishes. It would be better if he didn't come back, and the sundries room belonged to them.

Aunt Niu got out of the bullock cart with her grandson in her arms and smiled openly, still very excited, "What village? The Jihuai couple went to the town to buy a house."

Speaking of which, she is proud of Ji Mu. See whose son can buy a house in the town? The previous generation had a talent, and he was no better than Ji Huai.

"Huh? Going to buy a house in the town?" The aunt was blindfolded, and the Ji family were also stunned.

How much does the house in the town cost? they do not know. They don't even enter the slightly better teahouse in town, so they usually buy something to sell in exchange for what they need.

"Yes. The yard is a bit smaller, but it's much better than the country house, and it's not far from the market." Aunt Niu was also interested and exaggerated Ji Huai.

"I've all gone to sell houses in the town, hunting is really profitable." The aunt hadn't recovered.

Aunt Niu explained: "He is also hard hunting. He was injured some time ago, and one who is not careful can lose his life. But he also made some money, and the house collapsed, (gan gan) he didn’t hunt anymore, in order to The child's daughter-in-law, took Xiu'er to the town to find a living."

"That also made a lot of money." The aunt was sour and saw the cured meat (肉rou) on the ox cart, "Are you here to buy cured meat (rou)? What's the happy event?"

Cured (rou) is not cheap, and it is only eaten during the Chinese New Year.

"Aren’t we going to help Ji Huai move? It was given by him, and I’m embarrassed to accept it." Although Aunt Niu said that, she thought so, but (rou) is expensive after all. If Ji Huai gave it, they Home can be happy for a long time.

"Ji Huai hunting is really profitable." The aunt said again, "No wonder his wife eats eggs every day, and if she has the money to buy a yard, she can afford to eat (rou). That girl is so destined, so she has a good time with Ji Huai. "

The three of the Ji family had been stunned by the news, and they all suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Ji Huai bought a house in the town?

how can that be? When Ji's mother fell ill, the family was emptied. It was definitely not the money left by Ji's mother, so after the separation? After the separation, the worse they crossed, the better Ji Huai crossed.

When they think about it, they feel that the gap in their hearts is too great to accept it.

"The third brother went to town without saying a word, and didn't say anything to us. We still wanted to help him repair the house. Besides, what to do so far away? Even if there is a little misunderstanding, he is his own brother. "Ji Ersao still didn't believe it, and incidentally charged Ji Huai'an.

This is to enjoy the blessing alone when you have money. I would rather let outsiders help than to talk to my brothers. It's unkind.

"Since your mother died, how many major events have you had in your family? The fortune-teller said that the three brothers in your family have hit each other, the farther away the better, otherwise Ji Huai will keep the money to build a house. You can't live in it. One piece, if you live in one piece, the days will not get hotter." Aunt Niu said seriously.

Hearing this, the faces of the three people in the Ji family changed suddenly. During this period of time, their family affairs were indeed one after another, and they (deeply) believed it right now.

"Yes, things in your family are not trivial." The auntie also recalled and asked curiously, "Are the three hits fighting against each other? Or is it only Ji Huai and them fighting against each other?"

The Ji family also wanted to know this answer, but Ji Ersao took the lead, "Only the third brother is against us, right?"

If this is the case, Ji Huai is the broom star, and if he moves away, they will have a good time. The key is that they are unable to move away.

"Of course the three of you have restrained each other, and the three of you have restrained each other." Aunt Niu increased her tone, not letting any of them go, staring.

She was able to speak (shen), plus the act of **** (lust), no one in the audience would believe it. Ji Ersao was very anxious, and even trying to explain it was not convincing at all.

As for Brother Ji and Brother Ji, the two of them were tortured by what happened during this period of time (fa) and they completely believed.

It turns out that they hit each other. Then you will definitely not be able to live together next, and someone must move out. And they all hope to be each other.
