Chu Yue, who was sitting on the mule cart, exhaled as if she was relieved. She didn't climb back into the carriage until the mule cart completely left Nanping Town.
"Daughter-in-law Xinghe, we should not come to this town these days, right? It's so scary." Lu Dagui said with a scared look on his face.
Chu Yue is a person who listens to advice.
"If it's not necessary, I won't come here recently."
…
When he got home, Lu Xinghe was already waiting at the door.
Seeing Chu Yue jumping off the mule cart, he was relieved at first, and then he frowned slightly when he saw her unkempt appearance.
Yun Cuihe naturally saw it and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yueyue, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
Chu Yue held her hand.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Lu Dagui said as he led the mule cart to the yard, "Thanks to Xinghe's cleverness, I heard that some pretty girls in the town have been kidnapped recently. I don't know where they were taken. Xinghe's daughter-in-law sold her antlers for a buck." After getting on the mule cart, he made himself look like this and escaped."
Yun Cuihe was shocked, "Is there such a thing?"
"Isn't that true? I was scared at the time, for fear that those people would also take away Xinghe's wife, and I would not be able to interact with my aunt and Xinghe later."
Apart from anything else, Chu Yue's appearance is considered to be the best in Banpo Village.
This is still not dressed up. If she were dressed up, she would probably be no worse than a lady from a wealthy family.
When Lu Xinghe heard this, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.
He knew that the situation in the town would change, but he did not expect that he would now be reduced to catching women everywhere.
If this girl is caught...
He didn't dare to think about it, and he felt despair and panic when he thought about it.
Sensing Lu Xinghe's gaze, Chu Yue walked towards him with a worried look on her face, "Ms. sir, why are you standing outside? Didn't you say you need to rest well these days?"
After saying that, he helped him walk into the house.
Lu Xinghe didn't speak from the beginning to the end, and just let her help him walk.
Lu Xingping, who was picking vegetables in the yard, saw this and clicked his tongue twice. His eldest brother had really changed since he had his sister-in-law. Now he only listens to her words.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know that my eldest brother has been standing here for almost half an hour. No matter how we persuade him, he refuses to go back to his room. If mother hadn't stopped him, he would have gone out to look for you."
Chu Yue looked in the direction of Lu Xinghe and frowned slightly.
"Why did you stand outside for so long? You are already injured, and it's cold outside. If you catch a cold, it will make things worse."
Lu Xinghe seemed indifferent, "Seeing that you haven't responded for so long, I'm a little worried."
This was the first time that Lu Xinghe said he was worried about her. Chu Yue felt her cheeks were a little hot. Fortunately, her face was dirty now, so even if she was really blushing, she couldn't see clearly.
"Didn't I say that nothing would happen to me?" She helped him sit up on the bed and spoke more gently, "Don't run around anymore. I'm going to wash your face and make some medicine for you."
Seeing the little girl making arrangements for him like a mature adult, Lu Xinghe suddenly felt that his girl seemed to have grown up.
…
Chu Yue came out of the house and took out the medicine from the basket on her back. After first picking out the medicine that Lu Xinghe needed, she put the rest in a dry drawer for storage.
The extra medicines will come in handy when needed.
Lu Xing'an was making porridge in the kitchen. Chu Wenzhu led Tiedan to pull two radishes from the ground in the yard and went into the house.
"Sister, look, our carrots have grown so big."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "It's really not as good as the one in the old house. Xiaozhu, go wash the radish. I'll cut it later."
The land on the side of the old house has been planted many times, but the land on the new house has just been cultivated. It is really surprising that the radishes can grow so well.
Lu Xing'an, who was behind the stove, raised his head and looked at Chu Yue, "Sister-in-law, the market in this town is not good, so we should keep these dishes for ourselves, right?"
"Don't worry, we'll wait a few days. If it doesn't work out, we'll just eat it ourselves. It grows in the winter, and it's not easy to grow vegetables at that time."
Lu Xing'an nodded, "Sister-in-law, please don't take any more risks in the town."
Chu Yue smiled and said, "No, our family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing now, and we are not greedy for the money from selling vegetables."
She simmered the boiled medicine next to the stove, then cut the radishes, and cut two of the deer ribs she killed today. She added star anise, red dates, ginger and water to the bowl and stewed them with the radishes. .
As soon as the venison was stewed in the pot, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Before Chu Yue walked out of the kitchen, Yun Cuihe, who came out of the house, opened the courtyard door before her.
"Shou Cheng, why are you here?"
Lu Shoucheng held a bucket in his hand and said with some embarrassment, "Sister-in-law, the wells in our village are almost bottomed out, and the water that comes up is all muddy. It needs to be stabilized for a while before it can be used. We have been pumping water in the past two days." Even if the mud is suppressed by the water, it still tastes bad. Can I fetch a bucket of water from your house to use? It doesn’t take much, it’s enough for us to make food.”
Yun Cuihe hurriedly let him in, "I'll take it as a serious matter. I'll just fetch water. You just fetch water. If nothing else, my well can still supply our two families."
Lu Shoucheng did not push the envelope.
"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law. I will come home to fetch water during this period. When the well in the village has water, I won't bother Third Sister-in-law."
"We are all a family, what are we talking about? There is no water in the village, so just come to my house to fetch water. Eating that muddy water will probably make you sick to your stomach." Yun Cuihe said, and went to the fields to fetch water. He picked up two radishes and handed them to Lu Shoucheng. "You can take these radishes for the whole family to eat. My father and mother are getting old, so you have to take care of them."
"What did the third sister-in-law say? Taking care of our parents is what we, as children, should do. The third sister-in-law just asked me to take five kilograms of venison back in the morning. Now I am bringing radishes. How can I be embarrassed?"
Yun Cuihe smiled and said, "Take it, I want to ask you for a favor this afternoon."
Lu Shoucheng said hurriedly, "Whatever you want me to do, my third sister-in-law says."
"Isn't half of my old house collapsed? Dagui happened to be helping at home, and I was thinking of asking you to lend a hand and help repair the yard over there."
"Repairing the yard, but also repairing the house?"
"No one lives in that house anyway, so there's no need to repair it."
It's just that the land over there is wasteland developed by the family, and it has a deed, so naturally it can't be abandoned.
Lu Shoucheng said hurriedly, "That's easy. Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will go with Lu Dagui after dinner. It won't take half a day to fix it for you."
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."
"Hey." Lu Shoucheng was holding water in one hand and two radishes in the other, "Sister-in-law, I'll go back first. We're still waiting for water at home."
"Okay, let's walk slowly."
After watching Lu Shoucheng leave, Yun Cuihe closed the courtyard door.
"Mom, there are two wells in our village. Will the remaining wells be drained as well?" Chu Yue sat by the water tank and asked while scrubbing the clothes she had just changed.
Yun Cuihe sighed, "It has been dry for too long this year. If it doesn't rain, it might even be dry."
"Do you think those people in the village will also come to our house to ask for water?"
