Chapter 52 No matter how good a relationship is, it is still afraid of rumors.
I stayed at the fence courtyard the first day.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn't nervous.
The conditions at the fence courtyard were not as good as those at the Xiao family, and even a little worse than those at my mother's house.
But here, Yang Qiaoqiao felt inexplicably at ease.
It was just that the room in the east wing was really simple, without even a door.
If there was really a storm like in the afternoon, how could she face people tomorrow?
When she thought of this, Yang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but blushing.
Finally, Wu Wei finished his bath and came in through the curtain.
Under the kerosene lamp, the silhouette of Yang Qiaoqiao folding clothes was exactly the scene of a warm bed with wife and children in her imagination.
Seeing this scene, Wu Wei's body, which had just been cooled by the evening breeze, suddenly became hot.
But with the current situation at home, it was definitely impossible to have a warm bed.
But it was still okay to tease him.
So he sat on the only stool in the room, patted his legs and said, "Come here."
Even though Yang Qiaoqiao was flustered, she still lowered her head and sat down.
Fortunately, Wu Wei hugged her, but did not move much.
He took the opportunity to ask, "It's just right, I have something to ask you."
"Did anyone make things difficult for you when you went back to your mother's house and Xiao's house just now?"
Yang Qiaoqiao felt warm in her heart. Even at this time, he still cared about her.
Besides being warm, she took the initiative to hug Wu Wei's neck: "No! They heard that I followed you to do odd jobs, and they all said that I met a noble person."
This is the truth, but not entirely.
Wu Wei knew it in his heart, but he felt that Qiaoqiao was in a good mood, and he didn't want to spoil it, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He patted the millstone and said, "Okay, go back to sleep."
Yang Qiaoqiao thought she had passed the test, so she got up and put the folded clothes into the box at the head of the bed.
Turning around, she saw Wu Wei blow out the kerosene lamp and turn on the electric light.
She said with an embarrassed look: "Xiuchun said there is no place for me to sleep in that room."
Under the bright light, Wu Wei looked at Yang Qiaoqiao, who looked innocent, and couldn't help but tap her forehead.
"She lied to you. Her bed is 1.5 meters wide, which is more than enough for two people to sleep. How come Xichun's small bed is not enough?"
After saying that, he took her in his arms and said: "Come on, I'll take you there."
The two of them lifted the curtain and walked out through the main room.
Before Wu Wei spoke, he heard a flurry of noises coming from inside.
Wu Wei knocked on the door and called Xiuchun.
Xiuchun even pretended to yawn and said: "Second brother, what's the matter? Xichun and I are both asleep."
Xichun cooperated and hummed loudly.
Wu Wei couldn't help laughing. This was too fake.
So he said without a doubt: "Open the door."
Finally, the door opened.
A scent of mugwort smoked came to my face. This was lit before to smoke mosquitoes.
Xiuchun pretended to rub her eyes and said sleepily, "Second brother, what's the matter?"
Wu Wei was too lazy to answer her, and pushed Yang Qiaoqiao into the room, then turned back to the east wing.
Xiuchun closed the door and turned around to see Xichun jumping off the bed.
Two pairs of eyes stared at Yang Qiaoqiao.
This gossip and curious look, how could she be asleep at all.
After a while, the three of them squeezed onto the 1.5-meter bed, which was more than enough.
Qiaoqiao was surrounded in the middle.
Xichun had imagined this scene many times, but the object was Qiao Yuyan.
Now that he heard that Qiaoqiao was like his second brother, he could only accept the reality.
In the darkness, Xiuchun lowered her voice and asked.
"Qiaoqiao, are you willing to marry the second brother?"
"Yes!" In the darkness, Yang Qiaoqiao's brisk voice was inexplicably firm: "I am willing to serve him for the rest of my life, but I can't marry."
"Why?" Xiuchun unexpectedly sat up directly after getting this answer.
It's too difficult for the second brother to marry a wife, isn't it?
"Lie down first and listen to me slowly." Yang Qiaoqiao pulled Xiuchun.
After she lay down again, she said: "What is my reputation in the village now? A husband-killer, a jinx, and a second marriage! I am willing to marry him, but I can't hurt him."
Xiuchun was stunned, and then understood.
All the rumors now are focused on Qiaoqiao.
As long as Qiaoqiao leaves for a while, the limelight will soon disappear.
But if the second brother marries Qiaoqiao at this juncture.
Not only will the rumors become more intense, but they may even trigger other variables.
Xichun was still puzzled and said, "But my second brother won't care about these things."
Yang Qiaoqiao insisted, "But I do care!"
Then she pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's okay. I'm a widow and I don't care about my status. As long as I can take care of him, I'm satisfied."
After saying this, Yang Qiaoqiao felt that the two sisters hugged her tightly, even more than before.
The next day, August 14, Wu Wei woke up and felt refreshed.
He didn't push the mill in his dream, and his sleep quality was really good.
But after going out, when I saw Xiuchun, I always felt that her eyes were a little strange.
Yang Qiaoqiao squatted by the well, scrubbing the clothes she changed yesterday.
This should have been Xichun's job, but now she has taken it all.
Seeing Wu Wei coming out, she immediately shook her hands, stood up and said, "I'll get you some water to wash your face."
Wu Wei rolled up his sleeves and said, "You do your thing, I'll do it myself."
Even so, Yang Qiaoqiao still rushed to do it.
Wu Wei couldn't persuade her and could only live a life of having everything provided for him.
For breakfast, Xiuchun had a pot of Yangchun noodles.
I cracked a few flat eggs and smeared each person with a spoonful of meat oil.
It can be said to be quite rich.
Yang Qiaoqiao still had to put the flat eggs into Wu Wei's bowl.
Can Wu Wei allow it?
He raised his hand and sent it back, directly into Qiaoqiao's mouth.
Looking at this scene, Xiuchun sighed more and more.
If you have lovers, why can't you get married eventually?
Had breakfast.
Wu Wei and Yang Qiaoqiao were not in a hurry to go to the county.
But Xiuchun, as always, had to set up a stall.
So the three of them took the same car and headed straight to the county seat as usual.
Yang Qiaoqiao has become accustomed to the position of the front bumper.
And after yesterday's experience, her figure relaxed obviously, and she became more intimate with Wu Wei who was hugging her.
However, Xiuchun was a little absent-minded.
I have been worried about my second brother's marriage.
Until Wu Wei mentioned it: "After a while, I sold out the fake collars and bought back the cigarettes and alcohol. I also tidied up the yard and pulled back some old bricks to build the courtyard wall."
"That's great," Xiuchun said immediately, "Since the Xishan brick kiln collapsed, the red bricks purchased by our villagers have become one point more expensive than before."
"I heard that several people in the village were planning to build houses, but they were delayed because the price of bricks couldn't be lowered."
Wu Wei nodded and said: "There is no cost for the old bricks and tiles. You just need to pay some freight."
The cost of each red brick is one cent higher, which is actually the extra freight.
It doesn't seem big.
But if the project cannot support even a little bit of movement, tens of thousands of red bricks will be needed.
With a large base, the increased costs will naturally go up.
