Perhaps because Xu Qingmo's outfit was so flattering, the little kids ignored the two grown men around them and walked straight to Xu Qingmo: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Qingmo couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he looked at the little girl talking to him. The little girl was born white and clean, with a pair of shining eyes.
Xu Qingmo was actually a little surprised, because in the capital, it is difficult for civilian children to have such fair skin and bright eyes. The north is dry, and there will inevitably be wind and sand. Children will be smoked by the wind and their skin will be stained. Yellow.
The children in front of me are all fair and clean, and they are really very different from those children in the capital.
Xu Qingmo came back to his senses, and then said with an embarrassed face: "Our carriage got stuck in the quagmire. Is there anyone in your village who can help us?"
The little girl quickly said: "Sister, wait a minute, I'm going to call my grandpa right now!"
The person you called was not daddy, but grandpa?
Xu Qingmo paused, then said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you!"
The little girl ran back quickly. Xu Qingmo looked at the other children still standing in front of him, took out the candy from his arms and handed it to several children: "Are you all living in this village?"
"Yeah!" After the child took the candy, he responded with a smile, "Where are you going, sister?"
"Oh, we are going to a nearby town. I heard that new fabrics have recently been released, so I am going to take a look!" Meng Hetong hurried forward and said with a smile.
The child didn't understand this, so he nodded and went to eat the candy.
Not long after, the little girl who had just run away pulled a gray-haired old man and walked over quickly: "Sister, sister, this is my grandpa!"
Xu Qingmo looked at the pale old man, stunned for a moment, and then said to the old man: "Uncle, our carriage got stuck in the quagmire. Is there any young man in the village who can help?"
The old man glanced at Xu Qingmo, with a moment of surprise in his eyes, and then asked: "Girl, where are you going?"
"Our family is a businessman, and we have always made Su silk. We just arrived in Hangzhou these days. I heard that a new silk satin was released in a nearby town. I wanted to go and have a look, but I didn't expect that the carriage got stuck. In the quagmire!" Meng Hetong stood beside Xu Qingmo and said helplessly.
"Oh, you should have gone earlier. Why did you go so late? By the time you arrived, the cloth shop was also closed!" The old man looked into Meng Hetong's eyes and said softly.
"We who are doing business rushed over as soon as we learned about this matter. After all, this kind of new thing is the most profitable!" Meng Hetong smiled, "We originally thought about going to the town. If it is Buzhuang It’s best to leave the door open. If it’s too late, just stay overnight in the town and be there early tomorrow!”
The old man nodded, then walked around the carriage: "Wait a minute, I'll call someone!"
Meng Hetong was naturally grateful, while Xu Qingmo was chatting and laughing with the little girl. At first glance, she really looked like an ordinary boudoir woman, and even her eyes became gentle.
After waiting for a while, the old man came over with a group of old women. Meng Hetong looked at the people coming with surprise on his face: "This, this is inappropriate, sir, where have all the men in the village gone?"
"Just after the New Year, everyone has gone out to do business, and there are no young people in the village!" The uncle said with a smile, "It's just a carriage. We people have been working on the farm for many years and are very strong. questionable!"
Meng and Tong couldn't help but let them help push the cart.
The carriage was finally dragged out, but the horses refused to leave. The uncle looked at it and said, "Maybe he is hungry. Why don't you go sit on our farm and give the horses some fodder?" Let’s go!”
Meng Hetong quickly waved his hand: "No, no, this is too much trouble!"
"What's the trouble? You see, the girl's shoes are all wet. The girl's house can't be exposed to the cold. Come and sit with us for a while. It won't be a problem, as long as the young man and the girl don't mind the shabby place!" A woman came out and said Said with a smile.
The little girl who had been talking to Xu Qingmo also held her hand and said, "Sister, just go to our house and sit for a while. It's okay!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong, his face was at a loss, and finally the uncle made the decision: "Okay, okay, just go sit with us for a while, it's okay!"
As soon as Meng Hetong let go, the little girl pulled Xu Qingmo towards her home. As she walked, the little girl said, "Sister, our house is a big house..."
Not long after, Xu Qingmo was dragged to a house by the little girl. The yard had two entrances and two exits. It was not particularly big, but for a farmer to have such a big yard, he was considered a well-to-do family.
As soon as the little girl opened the door, she felt a burst of heat. When she looked closely, she saw that there was a charcoal stove burning.
At this time of year, few people would be willing to burn charcoal in the house. Xu Qingmo looked at it, a little surprised.
The woman who followed in probably sensed Xu Qingmo's surprise and said, "This girl of ours has cold hands and feet. Even at this time of year, she is often too cold to get out of bed, so there is still a charcoal fire burning in the house!"
Xu Qingmo smiled shyly: "Sister-in-law really feels sorry for the child!"
"Girl has suffered with us for many years. It's rare that life has gotten better in the past few years. I always think of ways to compensate him!" Sister-in-law said, pouring a pot of tea and handing it to Xu Qingmo, "Girl, drink tea first, I will Let’s boil some hot water to warm your feet!”
"Do not bother……"
"Oh, no trouble, the stove keeps burning and it will be hot in a while!" The woman didn't give Xu Qingmo a chance to refuse and walked straight out.
Xu Qingmo just sat there looking at each other with the little girl.
The little girl felt Xu Qingmo's restraint, so she asked with a smile: "Sister, have you never been to other people's homes?"
Xu Qingmo smiled: "I spend most of my time in the backyard. This is my first time traveling far away!"
"Sister, you're not from Hangzhou, aren't you!" the little girl suddenly asked, "You speak in a straight and smooth manner, which is different from us!"
Xu Qingmo was a little surprised: "Can you see this?"
"Sister is different from us. We always speak with a hint of Jiangnan people, but sister speaks very nicely!" the little girl said with a smile.
Xu Qingmo looked at the little girl and couldn't help but ask: "What's your name?"
