The prince was sitting alone in Hua Bo's hall, looking around from time to time. Suddenly he saw a clock on the dilapidated wooden table, which kept ticking. There were patterns painted on the clock, with dragons and phoenixes circling, which was noble.
It was elegant, auspicious and festive, which made the prince look a little dumbfounded. At this time, there was no one in the hall, Uncle Hua was cooking in the kitchen, and Xiaohua was too shy to see people, so he didn't come out for a long time, so the prince came to the clock.
, took it and put it into his arms.
After getting the clock, the prince was still unwilling to give in. He looked around from time to time, but he thought that his pockets were limited and he couldn't bring more, so he stopped paying attention and just sat there speechlessly. At this time, the deserted village was completely silent.
, there are very few pedestrians on the road. Even if you find pedestrians, most of them are in a hurry and busy with their own affairs. Who has the leisure to meddle in other people's business.
Uncle Hua was discussing with Aunt Hua in the kitchen whether to kill the pig and cook something delicious for the prince. Otherwise, the rice would be ruined for the prince and Xiaohua would have no support in the future. What would happen? Aunt Hua pondered.
After a while, this pig was going to be used to celebrate the New Year, so it was slaughtered. So during the Chinese New Year, you watch others killing pigs and sheep, but your whole family goes to drink the northwest wind? It's fashionable and I don't agree. Besides, only the man's family gives it to the woman's family.
Talking about money, how come the woman’s family is required to take care of the man’s family? How is this inappropriate?
"As a prince, when he comes to our house, he thinks highly of us. You don't know what kind of family we are. If he gives us money and we can't afford it, it will be disastrous." Hua Bo said, "I would rather
I don’t need his money, as long as he treats Xiaohua well.”
"Then you can't just come here to eat every day. If you continue to eat like this, even the richest people will be left with nothing to show for it, not to mention we are not considered rich." Aunt Hua complained.
"The reason why people come to eat is to give us face. People in the deserted village say that I am so lucky to be able to eat at the same table with the prince. It's not like you haven't seen how much people respect me when I go out on weekdays. Why do you feel so sad about this?"
Where's the food?" Uncle Hua said, "Measure how much he can eat by himself. We just need to put in more effort when working in the mountains."
"But you can't kill a pig just for him. Can he finish eating it? Really." Aunt Hua complained.
"It doesn't matter if he can't finish eating. We can ask him to eat slowly. He doesn't just stay at our house for a day or two. He comes almost every day, which is just enough for him to develop a relationship with our little flower. Thanks to this prince,
Otherwise, our little flower will have to go find that pauper Shaoqiu. As long as our little flower follows Shaoqiu, the people in the deserted village will look down on us, and they may even beat us up when they see us."
"This is the truth. Since having the prince, Xiaohua no longer wants to go to Shaoqiu. She just stays at home and is waiting to be the queen." Aunt Hua looked at Uncle Hua and said this. After saying this, her face turned red.
She smiled and looked even more beautiful.
"That's right," Hua Bo said, "Since we had a prince in our family, not to mention the dog master doesn't come often to cause trouble. Even if I meet a dog on the road, he won't bark at me endlessly."
"Then kill him." Aunt Hua said softly. She didn't quite believe it yet, but she couldn't resist Uncle Hua, so she was ready to agree.
"Okay, I'm going to make preparations now. We have to take good care of our noble lady. In this way, only when Xiao Hua is married will she have a good life, don't you think so?" Uncle Hua looked at Aunt Hua and said, his face
At this time, I also showed a smile. At this point in my life, I can say that I am very happy.
At this moment, for some reason, the pig ran out of the pig pen, squealing, and running around on the road in the deserted village, as if he was afraid of something. Yes, the Chinese New Year has not yet come, so he is going to kill himself.
, if this is not unreasonable, what is it?
Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua rushed out. They had to get the damn pig back. Otherwise, they would have neglected the prince and made Xiao Hua lose her happiness. This sin was huge. They had to catch the pig no matter what. But.
At this time, for some reason, Uncle Hua's foot sprained, and Aunt Hua's eyes seemed to be filled with dust. It would be difficult to catch the little pig again.
"Forget it, I'm afraid my legs will give out. I can't even stand up, let alone chase a pig. But if the pig chases me, it's not bad." Hua Bo looked at his wife and said, looking quite embarrassed.
.
"Cut your head off. Come and help me blow the dust out of my eyes. I can't wipe them away. I don't know what's going on. Please help me take a look." Aunt Hua said desperately.
"No, I can't walk on my feet. How can I help you wipe the dust? It's up to you." Uncle Hua said to Aunt Hua.
The two couples returned to the main room and sat at the table. They looked at the prince and felt very sorry for the moment. They felt that they couldn't help the prince. They were so sorry. But the prince didn't realize it. Don't tell him that he wouldn't kill the pig.
, even if he was beaten, the prince seemed to have a kind face and would not care.
"Uncle, aunt, there is no need to kill the pig, just get some food, why bother so much?" the prince looked at the couple and said.
"Little flower," Uncle Hua said to Aunt Hua, "little flower!"
Uncle Hua called for a while but heard no response. He wondered where Xiaohua had gone. If he didn't seize such a good opportunity, where would he go to find such a good family? But where did Xiaohua go?
At this time, Aunt Hua took a small stick and walked out of the house with an angry look on her face, as if she was about to start a fight when she saw Xiao Hua. "Let's see if you still obey me in the future. I'll beat you to death, little girl."
I have your last name!" Aunt Hua muttered to herself as she searched for it.
But Xiaohua was not at home. She walked to the river again and sat on the dilapidated pier, beating her clothes. These were her own clothes. She hadn't washed them for a long time. She took advantage of the bright sun to put these clothes away.
Take out the clothes and prepare them for washing. Of course, it’s true that your father doesn’t allow you to go out, but you can persuade him quite well. Which girl in a deserted village doesn’t have to wash clothes? Their father doesn’t necessarily want to beat someone.
Ah. Xiaohua believes that her father is not an unreasonable person. Otherwise, he would never have carried her parents out of the house. At this moment, she was sitting under the willow tree, with only the dilapidated pier and the surroundings beside her.
Just some old and ugly clothes.
However, when Xiaohua turned around, she found a man standing behind her, with an angry face, holding a cane in his hand, about to hit her. However, she saw Xiaohua washing clothes, and
None of these clothes were new. After seeing them, Aunt Hua felt very guilty. Girls from other families wear new clothes every year. Put down the cane at this time, not to mention beating, it is not too late to hurt.
, how can you do this? No, just throw away the cane and help Xiaohua wash the clothes.
