After saying that, he ignored Zhang Yu's obstruction and quickly got off the kang to make a bed for him.
After dinner, we sat on the kang and chatted for a while, until the children were sleepy and fell asleep on the kang. Zhang Yu's voice gradually weakened: "Brother Cao, let's talk tomorrow, kids.
Everyone is asleep."
"Okay, okay, little brother Zhang, you must be tired after walking for such a long time today. Please warm your feet before going to bed and have a good rest."
Wang Qiaoer took off the clothes of the children, covered them with quilts, and patted Cao Xishan. Cao Xishan lowered his voice as he looked at the sleeping children.
"Sister-in-law, I'm going to bed."
"The door is slippery, please slow down!" Wang Qiaoer recalled that a few playful children had splashed water on her door during the day, and immediately warned her.
"Okay, I understand, sister-in-law, don't send her away. It's just in the courtyard. You guys should go to bed early."
He packed up his things, got into bed, and breathed a sigh of relief. He was exhausted today.
After riding a bicycle for so long, I am now sleepy and tired, but now I am lying on the bed, trying to sleep but unable to sleep, obviously I can't open my eyes.
Lying on the bed, Zhang Yu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep no matter what.
He simply climbed up from the kang, put on his clothes, walked outside the door, looked at the sky outside, and stood there quietly in a daze.
At this time, the entire mountain village was already asleep. Except for the occasional barking of a dog and the sound of a child getting up from the night in the next room, there was no movement at all.
On winter nights, the moonlight shines dimly on the earth, making it look a little lonely.
Zhang Yu wandered outside for a long time, shivering with cold, then returned to the warm kang, got into bed, and finally fell asleep slowly.
After a dreamless night, he was woken up by a loud crowing of cocks the next morning. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the sunlight outside had shone into the room, but the temperature in the room was still not very high at this time. He curled up under the quilt.
In the midst of it, I felt too lazy to get up. I was wrapped tightly in quilts and felt a little bit cool.
The consequences of yesterday's excessive exercise appeared. At this moment, his muscles were sore all over, and the pain was severe when he moved even a little bit.
Lying on the bed, I really didn't want to move, but I thought again that I was a guest in someone else's house, and I was too embarrassed to stay in bed any longer.
Gritting his teeth, he stood up suddenly, "Hiss!" Zhang Yu was so painful that he immediately dared not move.
After sitting motionless for a long time, I finally regained my composure, slowly got dressed and walked out the door.
Zhang Yu opened the door, and a gust of cold air hit his face, making him shiver and shivering from the cold.
At this time, Wang Qiaoer was already busy in the kitchen. When she saw him going out, she said with a smile: "Little brother, why don't you sleep more? It's still early, and your eldest brother Cao hasn't gotten up yet."
"Sister-in-law, I've had enough sleep."
"Okay, there's hot water in the basin that I just prepared. While it's still hot, go wash your face quickly."
"Okay." Zhang Yu obediently went to wash his face, and then looked at Wang Qiaoer who was busy at the stove. He didn't know what he could do, so he stepped forward and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll light the fire."
"No, no, I'll be busy right now. Just go out and wait."
From the doorway of Zhang Yulai, looking from a distance, the entire small mountain village was completely white, smoke was floating in the air, and smoke in different dancing postures was floating in the sky above the entire small mountain village.
After breakfast, the villagers who learned that he brought many things in exchange for food were waiting at the entrance of the village early.
As soon as he walked nearby, a woman said: "This is the young man who came to exchange things. He is really good-looking."
"It's pretty good, but I don't know how old she is and if she has a wife." Zheng Zhaodi, who was carrying a basket of eggs, was a little cautious.
"Why, it's none of your business whether someone has a daughter-in-law. You still have to introduce one to me." Zhou Lanhua, who usually didn't have a good relationship with her, retorted.
"What, I can't think about it yet. Besides, my daughter is not bad either."
"It's true, but she was unlucky enough to be found dead in the stall. A girl like you is already 20 this year, and no one dares to marry her yet."
"Whose daughter are you saying can't get married? I just want to keep her for two more years so that she can enjoy the happiness." Hearing this, Zheng Zhaodi became a little anxious.
"That's nice to say. Don't you want your daughter to work for the family for two more years, and then ask for a large sum of money as a gift to give your son a wife? It's very nice to say." Zhou Lanhua also became angry when she heard this.
Last year, my son fell in love with his partner's daughter. When he went to propose marriage, Zheng Zhaodi asked for 200 yuan.
"The daughter I raised can do as I please, and you have no control over her."
"you this……"
"..."
The two people started to fight while they were arguing. The village chief gradually darkened his face as he watched the two of them fighting. He puffed on his pipe and pointed at the crowd next to him and said, "Why don't you hurry up and separate them."
The villagers watching the excitement were a little unhappy and muttered: "I don't dare. The last time they fought, Aunt Xiangxiu got a lot of scratches on her arms, and they haven't gone away yet."
But looking at the dark face of the village chief, he still reluctantly stepped forward to start a fight, but the people who started the fight didn't do much.
It wasn't until the village chief shouted: "Get out of here quickly, the guests are still here, what are you talking about?" Seeing that the village chief was really angry, the person who started the fight used more force to pull the two apart.
Zhang Yu was a little embarrassed at this time and didn't know whether he should go up. It wasn't until Cao Xishan came up from behind, patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Zhang, why don't you go over? You're all waiting there." Then he followed.
Passed behind him.
Things were exchanged very quickly, and they were all exchanged in a short time. Many people even didn't get what they wanted.
"Little comrade, are you still coming?"
"That's right! When will you come again, little comrade?" People who had not changed things stopped him from leaving and stepped forward to ask.
In the end, there was really no other choice. Zhang Yu could only agree to wait until spring to come again, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
Looking at the pile of things in exchange, Zhang Yu also had a headache, wondering how he could get down the mountain.
It was Cao Xishan who gave him an idea and found some people to carry a load for him and send him down the mountain.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain and found a flat and secluded place, Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Cao, just put it here."
"You don't need us to send it back to you?"
"No need, Brother Cao and all the brothers have done me a great favor by helping me transport it down the mountain. I made an agreement with people when I came here, and someone will drive to pick up the goods this evening."
"Then I'll wait here with you."
"Farewell, it's getting late. You don't have to travel at night when you go back. If it's any later, it won't be safe to walk on the mountain road at night." Just kidding, let him accompany you here, how can you mix things in the space?
Go in.
It took a lot of effort to trick the group of people away. When Cao Xishan and others left, Zhang Yu secretly put a box of cigarettes and a handful of candies into everyone's load.
