In the evening, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai rode the carriage back to Haining Village.
When the villagers heard the sound of hooves, they thought: Who is this here?
As a result, everyone saw Xiao Zimo driving in from the entrance of the village with a carriage on it, and without stopping, he entered the village directly, and only stopped at the entrance of Wu's house.
Everyone followed the carriage to Wu's house, and then saw Xiao Zimo helping Wu Bai down from the carriage, then tied the horse aside, and asked, "Xiaozi, did you buy this carriage? "
They can all see that Xiao Zimo has an extraordinary temperament. It should be nothing to buy a carriage. They just didn't expect that the other party would be so rich after falling into the water. Unlike the Hai Shi rescued by the Hai family, he was penniless. .
.Xiao Zimo also knows the truth of not revealing wealth. He is an outsider in this village after all, and it would be bad if he caused others to have bad thoughts, so he opened his mouth and said, "I rented this carriage. There is still a piece of jade pendant hanging on it. I went into the city a few days ago and took him a few taels of silver. I wrote a letter to my family and asked them to pick me up. I went to the city today to see if my family members came to see me. But it’s a pity, so I may have to go to the city more often in the future. You all know that I fell into the water before and I am still a little weak. I can’t walk long distances often, so I had to rent this place with the money I used as a jade pendant. The carriage will be used for a while, waiting for my family to pick me up."
"That's it, that's it!" Everyone nodded.
"I don't know where Xiao Xiao's home is, why haven't I come to pick you up for so long?" an uncle asked.
."My home is in Yuhuai Province, it's a little far from here. When my family comes to pick me up, I will let them thank you for taking care of me during this time." Xiao Zimo said to these people with a smile.
Hearing that Xiao Zimo said that the family should repay them well, these people were so happy that they couldn't see their eyes. In fact, they didn't take care of Xiao Zimo, they just said hello when they saw it.
"Okay, then we will all go back first. I hope your family will come to pick you up soon."
"It's your good fortune." Xiao Zimo echoed.
After the villagers were sent away, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai took down the things on the carriage. In fact, it was nothing, just a little cake and some seasonings.
Wu Bai handed the cake to Father Wu and said, "Father, this is the cake that Brother Xiao bought for you."
.Father Wu was a little embarrassed and said, "This is too precious."
"It's nothing, uncle, you have taken care of me for so long, I thank you, you don't have to be polite to me." Xiao Zimo said with a smile.
Seeing Xiao Zimo chatting with Wu's father, Wu Bai went into the kitchen with the seasoning in his hand.
He found that one side of the kitchen stove had already cooked rice, and the other side was cooking fish soup, and the smell of fish soup came out.
Wu Bai lifted the lid of the pot where the fish soup was being boiled, intending to see if the fish was cooked or not. As a result, he saw that there was no fish in it, only fish soup, and looking at the color, it seemed that it was the one he cooked before going out in the morning. .
Seeing this, Wu Bai's face was full of black lines.
.He quickly put out the fire, wrapped the handle of the pot with a wet handkerchief, poured the fish soup into the soup bowl on the side, washed the pot again, and added clean water.
Then I went to the yard, caught a live fish from the water tank, killed it and washed it, then cut the fish into the pot just now, and finally took out the seasonings he bought today and put them in in order, and covered them. Cover the pot and raise the fire again.
In fact, the fish would be better if boiled whole, but they came back late today and stayed at the door with the villagers for a while. Seeing that the sun was going down and the sky was getting darker, it was better to hurry up and finish dinner as soon as possible. , As for directly drinking the fish soup in the morning faster? Wu Bai didn't want to think about it at all.
Wu Bai quickly came to the back of the house, pulled a small handful of green onions and other vegetables, and went to the yard to wash the vegetables.
.Seeing him like this, Xiao Zimo didn't care about chatting with Wu's father. He walked over a few steps and squatted beside Wu Bai, helping him wash vegetables, folding green onions, etc. He has learned these little things from Wu Bai recently, but He hadn't learned about killing fish, otherwise he would have helped Wu Bai kill the fish just now.
"Do you think this Xiao Mo is intentional or unintentional towards Brother Bai?" Father Wu asked the eldest son next to the well, looking at the two people chatting and laughing beside the well.
Brother Wu glanced at Wu Bai and Xiao Zimo, and replied, "This should be intentional!"
"Why did he rent a carriage to come back? Didn't he mean to leave after renting a carriage?" Father Wu sighed.
"Of course he has to leave. He has to go home so that his parents can propose marriage to our brother Bai, or let him stay here? Is it unclear whether I can continue to live with my brother Bai?" Brother Wu said.
.Hearing these words, Father Wu patted his head and sighed, saying, "Look at me, I'm confused. You're right, Xiao Mo has to go home to propose marriage."
After thinking about this, Father Wu no longer secretly struggled with Xiao Zimo going home.
Since Xiao Zimo had a carriage, Haizhu and Haishi also knew about it.
On this day, Xiao Zimo and Wu Bai were preparing to leave the village on a carriage. They had made an appointment with Yin Yun to go to the temple together. Today is the date of the appointment, but when they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw standing here at the entrance of the village. The two people are Haizhu and Haishi.
When Wu Bai asked, he learned that the two would also go to the city to visit Haizan, hoping to take a ride.
Seeing the two of them, Xiao Zimo remembered his previous guess, and agreed in his heart, but after he said it, he had to let Hai Shi drive the car before he was willing to let the two take a ride.
.Hai Shi's face turned blue when he heard this request, but he didn't want to walk by himself, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.
In the carriage, Wu Bai sat next to Haizhu, and Xiao Zimo sat opposite.
After successfully getting on the carriage, Haizhu happily talked to Wu Bai: "Brother Bai, have you seen my headband? This is what Brother Shi personally chose for me."
Wu Bai looked over his head and found that there was a new headband tied to his head. He raised his brows and said, "He chose it for you?"
"Of course, Big Brother Shi treats me very well. He took his original clothes and exchanged some money." Haizhu showed off with a full face.
.He glanced at Wu Bai with some pride, and found that there was nothing new on Wu Bai's body. He secretly thought: This Xiao Mo looks very rich, but he is reluctant to give flowers to Brother Bai, but Brother Shi is different, although There is not much money, but he is willing to spend money for me, this must be the true love mentioned in the playbook.
Haizhu and Hai Shi recently went to the city several times on the pretext of Hai Zan, and heard others talking about opera stories a few times, so he couldn't help but put himself and Hai Shi in, thinking that the protagonists in the opera stories were finally happy together, He also smiled sweetly.
Wu Bai sat next to him, and when he saw him say two words to him, he started to be in a daze, and then he laughed inexplicably, feeling even more that Haizhu was wrong. He shook Haizhu and said with concern, "Brother Zhu, what's wrong with you?"
.Haizhu was dreaming about a beautiful dream, but was woken up by Wu Bai, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, but she quickly covered up the dissatisfaction.
But unfortunately, Xiao Zimo was sitting opposite them, so he could clearly see Haizhu's dissatisfaction with Wu Bai, and he was a little angry, he shouldn't have let these two people in the car, if it wasn't for Brother Bai, he wouldn't be too lazy I don't care if this Haizhu will be deceived by Haishi!
Haizhu suddenly felt a chill, she couldn't help shrinking her neck, and answered Wu Bai's words: "Brother Bai, I'm fine, I just walked away for a while."
"It's fine." Wu Bai stopped talking when he saw this, sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed.
Seeing Wu Bai like this, Xiao Zimo closed his eyes and rested himself.
.The two people around him closed their eyes and stopped talking. The inside of the carriage suddenly became quiet, only the voice of the commanding horse from Hai Shi from outside the car could be heard from time to time. Hai Zhu glanced at the two people beside him, and then opened the carriage curtain. Looking at the big sun outside, and then looking at the sweating Hai Shi, he felt distressed. He took out his handkerchief and walked to the door of the car, helping Hai Shi to wipe off his sweat.
This time, Hai Shi didn't dodge, and let Hai Zhu wipe his sweat. When Hai Zhu wanted to wipe his sweat on the street before, he refused Hai Zhu for the sake of Hai Zhu's reputation.
.Hai Shi has been in the city frequently recently, hoping to meet Tang Ling again. Since he and Wu Bai and the others saw Tang Ling's startling glance that day, he has fallen under Tang Ling's appearance. He has never seen Tang Ling. Having met such a person who made his heart move, he didn't even have such a heartwarming idea for Wu Bai before. Before, he liked Wu Bai entirely because Wu Bai was the best-looking brother in the village.
He has seen Tang Ling who is more beautiful now, and the person who makes him fascinated, how can he look down on a villager like Wu Bai, and even less look down on a black brother like Haizhu, but he currently lives in In the Hai family, he had nowhere else to go. He had no choice but to use Haizhu. He decided to see that Haizhu was so happy with him, and when his ideas got into Tang Ling's eyes, he would definitely reward him if he had money. Haizhu.
.While holding the carriage, Hai Shi imagined the scenery after he became the son-in-law of the naval governor in the future, and couldn't help but grin.
"Oh, Brother Shi, why did you leave saliva on my handkerchief! This is for wiping your sweat!" Haizhu said in surprise.
Hai Shi's soul was called back by Hai Zhu's voice. He said Hai Zhu's words and looked down, only to see that the handkerchief was covered with saliva and sweat, and now it was impossible to tell who was who.
He couldn't help but worry a little: "Do you have any extra handkerchiefs to wipe off my sweat?"
"Where do I have any extra handkerchiefs? I'll just have this one. You bought it for me the day before yesterday. I didn't use handkerchiefs before. Brother Shi, do you want to wipe the sweat with the hem of your clothes? We used to be both So sweaty." Haizhu replied.
.Hai Shi looked at the clean clothes on his body, and thought about the appearance of the hem of the clothes after Father Hai wiped the sweat with the hem. On the child, he found that the sweat and saliva on it had been dried by the sun, and no trace of dirt could be seen, his eyes lit up, he took the handkerchief from Haizhu's hand, and wiped it on his face. Sweat wiped away.
Haizhu looked at his operation, and then thought that the veil was covered with a mixture of saliva and sweat just now, and suddenly felt a little unbearable to look directly at him. One sentence: "Brother Shi, you will continue to sweat later. You should keep this handkerchief for now. You don't need to give it to me. You bought it anyway." After speaking, he put down the curtain of the carriage and sat back. own position.
.Hai Shi was busy driving, and he didn't see the disgust in Hai Zhu's eyes just now. After hearing what Hai Zhu said, he felt quite right, so he took the handkerchief and put it in his arms. After sweating, he took it out and continued to use it
