The prince was sitting alone in Hua Bo's hall, looking around from time to time. Suddenly he saw a clock on the dilapidated wooden table, which kept ticking. The clock was painted with patterns, with dragons and phoenixes coiled around it. It was noble and elegant, and looked auspicious and festive. The prince was actually a little stunned when he saw it. At this time, there was no one in the hall, Hua Bo was cooking in the kitchen, and Xiao Hua was too shy to come out because she was shy to see people. The prince then came to the clock, grabbed it, and put it into his arms.
After getting the clock, the prince was still unwilling to give in. He looked around from time to time, but thinking that his pockets were limited and he couldn't bring more, he stopped paying attention and just sat there speechlessly. At this time, the deserted village was completely silent, and there were very few pedestrians on the road. Even if pedestrians were found, they were mostly in a hurry, busy with their own affairs, and who had the time to mind other people's business.
Uncle Hua was discussing with Aunt Hua in the kitchen whether to kill the pig and cook something delicious for the prince. Otherwise, if the rice was ruined, the prince would have nothing to rely on in the future. What would happen? Aunt Hua pondered for a while, this pig was going to be used to celebrate the New Year, so it was slaughtered now, so during the Chinese New Year, she watched others kill pigs and sheep, but her family went to drink the northwest wind? It's fashionable and I don't agree with it. Besides, it's only the man's family who gives money to the woman's family. How come the woman's family is asked to take care of the man's family? How is this inappropriate?
"As a prince, when he comes to our house, he thinks highly of us. You don't know what kind of family we are. If he gives us money and we can't afford it, it will be disastrous." Hua Bo said, "I would rather I don’t need his money, as long as he treats Xiaohua well.”
"Then you can't come here every day to eat. If you continue to eat like this, even the richest people will be left with nothing to show for it. Besides, we are not considered rich." Aunt Hua complained.
"The reason why people come to eat is to give us face. People in the deserted village say that I am so lucky to be able to eat at the same table with the prince. It's not like you haven't seen how much people respect me when I go out on weekdays. Why do you feel so sorry for me?" Where's the food?" Uncle Hua said, "Measure how much he can eat by himself. We just need to put in more effort when working in the mountains."
"But you can't kill a pig just for him. Can he finish eating? Really." Aunt Hua complained.
"It doesn't matter if he can't finish eating. We can ask him to eat slowly. He doesn't just stay at our house for a day or two. He comes almost every day, which is just enough for him to develop a relationship with our little flower. Thanks to this prince, Otherwise, our little flower will have to go find that pauper Shaoqiu. As long as our little flower follows Shaoqiu, the people in the deserted village will look down on us, and they may even beat us up when they see us."
"This is the truth. Since having the prince, Xiaohua no longer wants to go to Shaoqiu. She just stays at home and is waiting to be the queen." Aunt Hua looked at Uncle Hua and said this. After saying this, her face turned red. She smiled and looked even more beautiful.
"That's right," Hua Bo said, "Since we had a prince in our family, let alone the dog master, he doesn't often come to cause trouble. Even if I meet a dog on the road, he won't bark at me endlessly."
"Then kill him." Aunt Hua said softly. She didn't quite believe it yet, but she couldn't resist Uncle Hua, so she was ready to agree.
"Okay, I'm going to prepare now. We have to take good care of our noble lady. In this way, only when Xiao Hua is married can she have a good life, don't you think so?" Hua Bo looked at Aunt Hua and said, his face At this time, he also showed a smile. At this point in his life, it can be said that he is very happy.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, the pig ran out of the pen, squealing, and running around on the road in the deserted village, as if it was afraid of something. Yes, the Chinese New Year hasn’t even arrived yet, so I’m going to kill myself. Isn’t this unreasonable?
Uncle Hua and Aunt Hua rushed out. They had to find the damn pig. Otherwise, they would have neglected the prince and made Xiao Hua lose her happiness. This sin was huge, so they had to catch the pig no matter what. But at this time, for some reason, Uncle Hua sprained his foot, and Aunt Hua's eyes seemed to be filled with dust. It would be difficult to catch the little pig again.
"Forget it, I'm afraid my legs will give out. I can't even stand up, let alone chase a pig. But if the pig chases me, it's not bad." Hua Bo looked at his wife and said, looking quite embarrassed. .
"He'll die if he chops off his head. Come and blow the dust out of these eyes for me. I can't wipe them away no matter how hard I wipe them. I don't know what's going on. Please help me take a look." Aunt Hua said in a hurry.
"No, I can't walk on my feet. How can I help you wipe the dust? It's up to you." Uncle Hua said to Aunt Hua.
The couple returned to the main room and sat at the table. They looked at the prince and felt very sorry for the prince. They felt that they were sorry for the prince, so sorry. The prince didn't realize it at all. Even if he beat him, let alone not to kill the pig, he looked kind and didn't seem to care.
"Uncle, aunt, there is no need to kill the pig, just get some food. Why bother so much?" The prince looked at the couple and said.
"Little Hua," Uncle Hua said to Aunt Hua, "Little Hua!"
Uncle Hua called for a while, but received no response. He wondered where Xiao Hua had gone. If he didn't seize such a good opportunity, where would he find such a good family? But where did Xiaohua go?
At this time, Aunt Hua walked out of the house with a small stick, with an angry look on her face, as if she was going to start a fight when she saw Xiao Hua. "Let's see if you still obey me in the future. If I don't beat you to death, little girl, I will take your surname!" Aunt Hua muttered to herself while searching.
But Xiaohua was not at home. She walked to the river again and sat on the dilapidated dock, beating her clothes. These are my own clothes, which have not been washed for a long time. Taking advantage of the strong sun, I took out these clothes and prepared them for a good wash. Of course, it's true that her father doesn't allow her to go out, but she can convince him quite well that among the girls in deserted villages, who doesn't have to do laundry, their father doesn't necessarily want to beat someone. Xiaohua believed that her father was not an unreasonable person. Otherwise, he would never have carried her parents out of the house. Sitting under the willow tree, the only company she had was the dilapidated dock and some old buildings around her. Just ugly clothes.
However, when Xiaohua turned around, she found a person standing behind her, with an angry look on her face, and holding a cane in her hand, about to hit her. However, when she saw Xiao Hua washing clothes, and none of the clothes were new, Aunt Hua felt guilty because girls from other families wear new clothes every year. Put down the cane at this time, let alone hit, it's too late to hurt, how can you do it? No, just throw the cane away and help Xiaohua wash the clothes.
