The second aunt was sitting on a stone in front of her house with a cane. When she saw Zihua, she shouted, "Xingxi, are you ready? Where are you going?"
Everyone with the surname Wei is more or less related to her. The second aunt and Wei Baoshan's father are the same grandfather.
The second aunt's ears are not working well, so she speaks loudly.
"Second aunt," Zi Hua said loudly, "I'm fine. I'm going to Uncle Du Qi's place to have another look."
Du Laoqi's real name was Du Jingqi. People in the village thought his name was not easy to pronounce. I don't know who started calling him Du Laoqi, but it soon became popular.
Now Du Laoqi has become his first name. Adults call him Du Laoqi, and children call him Du Qishu. His real name is rarely mentioned. It is estimated that even the younger ones don't know that he has a real name.
"It's time for Du Laoqi to take a good look. It rained heavily last time and there are wetlands on the slope. You should keep an eye on the ground and don't slip."
"I got it, second aunt. I'm holding a stick." Zihua raised the stick in her hand. She listened to Wei Baoshan's suggestion and took a stick, preparing to scare away the enemy.
"Good."
Zihua waved her hands to her second aunt.
"Xingxi?"
Zihua turned around, and what a coincidence, she met Dong Anguo.
The two walked opposite each other, and Dong Anguo walked west carrying a saw and a coil of rope, apparently going up the mountain.
Dong Anguo would usually help Dong Shitou, doing some work such as going up the mountain to collect some wood. As long as he didn't chop down big trees, whole trees, and collected some old roots and branches, he would be tacitly accepted.
Dong Anguo's appearance is in line with the aesthetics of this era. He has a dark and healthy complexion, is tall, and has good facial features. The original owner would not have had any interest in him if he was not good-looking.
"Yes." Yuhua kept saying. She and Dong Anguo were speechless.
The original owner no longer had any affection for Dong Anguo, and she had none.
The adults of the two families have made it clear what they need to say. With Miao Dalan's loud voice, now the whole village knows that the two families are no longer married, and the Dong family has not kept their reputation, so they probably have strong opinions on the Wei family.
The relationship between the two families will only become further and further apart in the future. There is no need for her to maintain a face-saving relationship with Dong Anguo.
Dong Anguo did not let her go, "Xingxi, wait a moment."
Zi Hua raised her eyes and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Jiang Jing and I have nothing to do with each other. She just asked me questions about high school a few times."
"Oh. I understand, you are innocent and she is innocent." Zi Hua didn't want to say anything more to him, so she walked away.
Dong Anguo didn't expect that Zihua had such an attitude towards him. He was happy from the bottom of his heart after the two families made it clear that they would not get married. Just like his mother said, Wei Xingxi was in poor health, so marrying him would be a blessing to the family.
A drag.
But when I saw Wei Xingxi acting like a normal person when she saw him, without any sadness or anger, I felt very uncomfortable. How could Wei Xingxi not care about him? Fortunately, he had felt guilty about her before.
This was unacceptable to him, so he ran in front of Yuhua and asked, "Xingxi, what do you think about your parents going to my house to talk about it?"
Zihua knew what Dong Anguo was thinking at a glance. Originally, she was neither happy nor disgusted with Dong Anguo based on the memory of the original owner, but now she felt that Dong Anguo was not a good person, "What did I think? It's none of your business."
thing."
In the last world, Zihua learned two universally offensive sentences: "It's none of your business" and "It's none of my business".
Dong Anguo looked at her as if she had seen a ghost, "Xingxi, why have you become so rude?"
"It's none of your business." Zi Hua took a wrong step to the side and walked around Dong Anguo.
If her physical condition hadn't allowed it, she would have pulled Dong Anguo aside. He could only despise others, and he could not be despised by others, so he could be spoiled.
Dong Anguo didn't stop her anymore, looked at Zihua's back for a while with a complicated expression, and walked towards the west.
Zihua walked to the flat slope above and looked back at the village and the farmland outside the village. Houses with black tiles and mud walls were scattered here and there, shrouded in lush green plants, a real rural scene.
The mountain is very close, so close that you can say that the flat slope where the village is located is an extension of the mountain. The mountain shape is beautiful, the stream at the foot of the mountain is winding, and the landscape is picturesque.
It was precisely because of the good natural environment of Weijiagou that Zihua decided to stay here and farm. She would have taken her family to change the place to a poor and harsh place.
After walking upward for a while, we came to a yard surrounded by a fence.
A circle of plants with tiny flowers was planted next to the fence, turning the fence into a flower wall.
As Zihua got closer, she recognized that this plant with two slender flowers in two colors was honeysuckle.
Seeing that the courtyard door was open, Zihua called out, "Uncle Du Qi."
"Here." A strong man walked out of the house. He saw Zihua standing outside the courtyard gate and said with a smile, "It's Xingxi, come in."
Du Laoqi is in his fifties, but his appearance looks similar to that of Wei Baoshan Miao Dalan, who is in his forties.
When Zhou Hua came to this world on the first day of the junior high school, she used the appearance of people in later generations as the standard. She looked at Miao Dalan and looked like she was in her fifties. In fact, Miao Dalan looked like a forty-year-old in this era.
It shows that Du Laoqi takes good care of himself.
Du Laoqi was a tall, dark man with a stubbled mane, which did not quite match the image of a doctor that ordinary people knew.
Compared to a doctor, Du Laoqi is more like a hunter.
He was the only one living here, and the yard looked deserted.
Du Laoqi was not a native of Weijiagou. He fled to Weijiagou with his father more than 30 years ago.
Due to their excellent medical skills, they were quickly accepted by the people in Weijiagou and have stayed here ever since.
Mr. Du passed away eight years ago, leaving him alone.
Du Laoqi got married when he was very young and had a son, but he was later separated during the war and was never found again.
Du Laoqi said he couldn't let go of his estranged wife and son, so he never got married again.
I don’t know if it’s because of his small face, but ‘Du Qishu’, like ‘Du Lao Qi’, has become a specific title. The younger generation calls him Du Qishu.
Zihua walked in and saw that the yard was very large, as if it directly enclosed the grass outside and was covered with grass.
There are various types of grass in the yard, and they look like they grow wild. The same kind of grass is piled here and there, not growing together.
If you look closely, you will find that they are all medicinal herbs, mostly motherwort, rhubarb, thistle, bupleurum and other herbs that are widely available outside. There are also some herbs such as Guanfeng, astragalus, and achyranthes.
rarely seen.
It is a simple medicine garden.
In the yard, only a small piece of land in front of the house was left empty, where a wooden shelf was placed. Several layers of large oblate bamboo sieves were laid on the shelf. On it were dried medicinal materials whose original appearance could not be seen, exuding or
Strong or light medicinal flavor.
There are not many houses, only three, which are better than the house of Yuhua's family. The walls of the house are a mixture of brick and earth, and they are still very new.
