Chapter 2 (1/2)

Zhao’er always thought that the little man’s eyes were the best looking eyes in the world, although when they faced her, they always hated and resisted.

In fact, Xue Gouzi’s eyes are the only pretty part all over the body. He was born weak. The second and her husband had a hard time supporting him, and they were also spoiled. All the boys of his age in the village were swarthy and strong like a calf, but he was pale and emaciated and silent.

However, Zhao’er has always been bossy, and never allowed anyone to talk about her man, whoever said she was angry. Because of this, she had fought with many girls and boys in the village. Although some people still said bad words behind Zhao’er’s back, no one dared to talk in front of her.

Zhao’er always felt the little man’s eyes were weird today, some uncomfortably avoided.

She knew that the little man must be angry again. He didn’t like her saying “Gouzi is my man”. Every time he heard her saying this, he would ignore her for several days. In fact, Zhao’er was also shameful, but she was the child bride of the second wife of Xue’s family. If she didn’t call herself like this, she would not be qualified to challenge Sun’s, the fourth aunt.

“Are you hungry? Look at what I bring to you?”

Zhao’er left these troubles behind at once, and take out a paper bag from her arms. After opening the paper bag, there were two hot steamed buns in it, white and fat, which made people like them.

“Hurry up, while they are still warm.” She smiled, shoved the paper bag into the little man’s hand, and placed the basket on her shoulder in the corner.

Xue Gouzi glanced at her.

The girl in front of him is in the marriageable age. Her skin is a wheat color that is common in rural girls, but her skin tone is very different from others. It is smooth and shiny, like a layer of honey. The tall bridge of the nose, a pair of small and medium eyes, the pupils are dark, and when they smile, there is a flash of light in it, and she looks so lively.

Zhao’er is taller than other ordinary girls, and she is also well developed, with bootylicious figure, full of youthful vitality.

It’s fresh. It’s as fresh as his dream.

Unconsciously, he took the bun and chewed it up. Seeing this move, Zhao’er laughed more happily. She went to the kitchen and poured him a bowl of water and put it on his hand. She bent down to pick up the scattered bedding on the bed, thinking about what to cook for her man in the evening.

After all, the little man got better, but the medicine had to be drunk, and a few more were needed to consolidate. From this, Zhao’er naturally began to calculate the small amount of money left in her hand, and she should find a way to get some money to solve the urgent need.

“You, have you eaten something?” Xue Gouzi asked.

This kind of behavior rarely happened to him, so Zhao’er could not help looking up at the little man sitting on the bed.

In fact, the little man’s appearance is beautiful fair-skinned, different from the countryman, and the corners of his eyes are slightly raised. The curvature makes his face look a little delicate and handsome. The little man just always hangs his head halfway, his temperament is gloomy and silent, and he is too thin to stand out in front of others.

Zhao’er’s eyes warmed up a little and her smile widened. And she said, “Yes, I’ve eaten outside. This is for you.”

After she had finished speaking, she realized that she had missed her words. She waited for the little man to show a disgusted expression, or condemned her for not running around. But she didn’t expect that he didn’t say anything. It seemed that he had something on his mind and was eating a bun.

Zhao’er can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, at the same time in the heart something aches, can’t help but say, “Gou’er, you don’t need to worry too much, that words after all is what you heard. If these weren’t face to face to say, then you can’t believe. Even if it’s true, I’m not afraid. I earn money for you to study.”

Xue Gouzi’s head was actually a little sore and dizzy. Zhao’er thought he has something on his mind, but he was just thinking about the dream. At this time, hearing the words of Zhao’er, he suddenly remembered why he had this serious illness.

Seriously speaking, Xue Gouzi’s severe illness came with stagnation of liver and anxiety.

Speaking of this, we must talk about the general situation of the Xue family. Yuqing Village is a village located under Huyang Town, Xia County, Pingyang Prefecture. There are only over 200 households in the village. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. All of them are the farmers depending on the climate.

And Xue family is one of them.

However, unlike other ordinary farmers, Xue family has some backgrounds.

The ancestor of the Xue family, that is, the grandfather of Grandpa Xue is a scholar. It is the great thing of Guangzong Yaozu to be a talented man in a poor mountain like Yuqing village.

Because of this scholar, the generation of Xue’s family had the clan leader of Xue’s family, and there were several village elders in the family. Finally, they had discourse power in Yuqing village.

At the same time, it is natural that the younger generation will also be blessed. Mr. Xue’s father was hardworking. With the help of his elders, he has also slowly set up a family business.

By the time of Mr. Xue’s generation, the Xue family had more than 30 acres of good land, and several sons each had their own livelihoods. The flourishing life was enviable, and they were regarded as one of the most prosperous people in the village.

Grandpa Xue and his wife Zhao had four sons and two daughters. The eldest son Xue Qingshan married his wife Yang and they had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son, Xue Juncai, is fifteen. The second son, Xue Youcai, is ten years old, and the eldest daughter, Xue Man’er, is married.

The second child, Xue Qingsong, is a carpenter and married his wife Qiu, and they have a son, Xue Gouzi, who is fourteen. The third son, Xue Qingbai, is a farmer, married to his wife Zhou, and has a son and a daughter. The eldest daughter Xue Taoer, thirteen this year, the youngest son Xue Shuanzi, eight years old. The fourth son, Xue Qinghuai, was a pick-and-go man and married his wife Sun, who also had a son named Xue Maodan, who is only four years old this year.

As for the two daughters, the eldest daughter, Xue Cuiping, has been married. Xue Cuie, the youngest daughter, is 14 years old, and still unmarried.

It’s worth mentioning that nowadays, there is a saying that, “If parents are alive, then don’t separate the family.” In addition, people in the countryside are all ruled by clans, so the Xue family has not separate family.
