After having a pleasant dinner with the father and son of the Lin family, Lin Amo packed the empty room at home for Wu Qingyuan to live at Lin Laogen's order, and even went to find out a relatively new mattress and quilt for him. lay on.

After finishing the work, these teenagers ran to the kitchen to boil some hot water for him, and greeted him with a smile. Then they quickly ran back to their own room with another basin of water to take care of the comatose and sleeping brother Zhou. The small figure was running around like a spinning top.

When Wu Qingyuan finished washing and laying on the bed, he could still see the opposite room. Under the light of the oil lamp, the shadow of the boy sewing clothes with needles and thread was reflected on the window.

"Lin Amer..."

Staring at the reflection on the window, remembered that the two brothers of the Lin family were fooling Lin Laogen, the young man stuck his tongue out slyly, smiled and whispered something before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

..........

Wu Qingyuan had always been a light sleeper. As soon as the sun was shining, there was a slight sound of footsteps opening the door and getting up from the yard. He woke up, packed up and put on his clothes and got up with him.

Outside the door, except for the old lady of the Lin family, there are three other rooms. All the people in the second and third rooms of the Lin family got up and started to work. Those who cook, those who fetch water, and even children, help the family with chores. Son.

This situation is not uncommon in Liushu Village. The children of poor families are in charge early, and they are half adults at the age of ten. Both men and women have to help with work.

"Brother Wu, did you sleep well last night? What are you doing up so early? Go back and sleep for a while. I'll call you when breakfast is ready..."

Seeing Wu Qingyuan come out of the room, Lin Laogen shouted while fetching water, his words were all the simplicity of a country man.

The second-bedroom couple next to him also nodded and smiled at him, very honest.

"Sleep well, Uncle Lin, let me fetch water for you..."

Wu Qingyuan liked this strong and simple atmosphere very much. He said hello to the Lin family in a good mood, and walked forward to help Lin Laogen to fetch water and talk about going to the town.

Although he had inquired about a lot of information here at Old Man Zhou's place and on the boat, but it was better to have a closer look at it when he first arrived. The information in the village was too cluttered and the county town was too far away, so only the town was the most suitable.

However, the main purpose of his going to the town was to exchange some bits and pieces of silver. Now he only has a dozen or so coins on him. Whether it is to find someone to inquire about Zhou Fuxi's news and need money, or to settle down in this place, they all need money. of.

"Going to the town? Okay, then you can go with my brother Lin later. Amo is going to the town to get medicine for Brother Zhou. I was worried that he would not be safe by himself, so you can go together. , I will go to the next village to help you and ask, I remember that there is an old Zhou who is in his 70s in the next village, and the information is similar to what you said."

Lin Laogen nodded cheerfully. He had a good impression of Wu Qingyuan. Since he knew from dinner last night that Wu Qingyuan could cure his brother Lin's face, he looked at Wu Qingyuan more pleasantly and kindly. , As long as he thinks that his son can become good-looking, he can even wake up from a dream with a smile.

The two agreed in the yard to go to the town. After Wu Qingyuan washed up, he was invited to the table by the enthusiastic Lin Laogen to have breakfast together. Mo went out together.

In fact, according to the rules here, it is not suitable for a man and a little brother to appear alone together, and it is necessary to talk about being seen by others.

But this doesn't exist in Lin Amo. Things like peach sex scandals basically don't happen to an ugly guy.

So met other villagers who went to the town together at the entrance of the village and saw the two of them walking side by side.

"Amer is also going to town today. Come and help my aunt pick up a basket. Hey, this little brother is... Amer, your relative?"

A few aunts gathered around, saying hello is fake, but seeing Wu Qingyuan is real.

Their small village is not as prosperous as the town. Except for the villagers in the village and the relatives of the three aunts and six grandmothers, there are basically no strangers coming. Occasionally a stranger who has never seen before is quite rare, of course, pay attention to it.

Xia people are generally tall and tall. There are many men in the village who are taller and stronger than him, but there are not many who are handsome at the same time.

Especially the temperament of Wu Qingyuan, which is different from the country man in the village, looks like he came out of a big family, and the aunts are very curious.

"Brother Wu is not my relative. He came from outside to look for relatives. He is staying at my house for the time being..."

They are all villagers and have nothing to hide. Lin Amo explained patiently and explained Wu Qingyuan's origin in a few words.

Compared with Wu Qingyuan, his explanation as a native of the village is naturally more convincing. The aunties did not doubt his identity at all, and were quite interested in him from outside, and kept asking him what it was like outside. , I heard that the bustling outside is very lively, what kind of lively method? Are all the people out there like them? I heard from the caravan passing by that the people outside are not the same as they are here. Is it true?

It's not that the aunties are too gossipy, but they are really curious. Most of the men in the village have never been to far away places, let alone the women and little brothers in the village. Someone was there, and when he heard that he had come so far from the sea, he naturally couldn't help asking, and he was very longing for the outside world.

Wu Qingyuan doesn't know much about other places here, but he has a lot of knowledge in modern times, and he can fool these aunts who don't know anything by making up a little bit, but most of the fools are based on their own travels as the background, right Not to mention his hometown.

He is cautious, but in fact, a group of aunties would not doubt it, and they were all attracted by what he said about the outside world. Even Lin Amo looked at him with admiration, thinking that he had been to so many places and knew so much. Stuff is awesome!

Wu Qingyuan was also thick-skinned, and continued to make up without any guilt. From time to time, he looked at Lin Amo's adoring eyes, and his handsome face couldn't help showing a smile.

The curiosity and gossip ability of the aunts in the village are very strong. It takes two hours to walk from Liushu Village to the town. During this time, they can ask countless questions without even taking a sip of water.

Even if Wu Qingyuan could fool again, he would be afraid of being questioned by these aunts, especially knowing that he was not married yet, and he was going to settle down in the village chief near Shiqiao Town, the eyes of the aunts lit up and immediately began to work together. Persuade him that he must be rooted in their willow village, and then Barabara and their relative's daughter and brother have not married yet, big brother, do you want to think about it and prepare to be a matchmaker.

It can't be blamed for them being too anxious. It is Wu Qingyuan's condition that looks very good. Even if he came all the way to seek it, he might be poor, but that doesn't matter. Just based on the conversation just now, with their keen eyes It can be seen that this is definitely a good man who loves his daughter-in-law. It doesn't matter if he is poor, no one in the village is poor, and the husband and wife work together for a few years and they will have everything!

"Several aunts are in favor of Wu, but I want to find my relatives and then consider other things..."

Really can't go on, Wu Qingyuan can only refuse, the fighting ability of these aunts is too strong!

For the sake of saying this, the aunts finally became sensible and ended the topic with some regret, but before they got to town, the aunts continued on another topic in good spirits, curious about the relatives he was looking for Which is it.

Although Wu Qingyuan was a little helpless, he still answered patiently. This is different from the gossip just now. Although these aunts don't know much, they are very well informed about the surrounding villages, and maybe they can talk about some useful information. .

"Big brother, did you remember wrong? We have a lot of people here who fled the famine and migrated here, but that was 12 years ago. Back then, the floods and famines caused many people to starve to death. Our village I was lucky here and didn't suffer any disasters, but there were a lot of refugees who came here at that time, we all remember it clearly, and there have been no disasters for the next few decades..."

Chatting and chatting, one of the aunts really frowned and muttered.

"Yes, Brother Wu, we have escaped from the famine once in 12 years. The brother Zhou you saw yesterday was the one who came to our village at that time. I remember it all. Look, did you remember something wrong? "

Lin Amo also nodded. He didn't think about it carefully yesterday, but now the aunt in front of him brought it up and he was puzzled.

Yes, just heard Wu Qingyuan say that people were surprised at the age of 70. didn't pay attention to the information about fleeing from the famine. They had a major event of fleeing from the famine 12 years ago. Cathay Pacific Min'an, something is wrong.

"Yes, yes, that Zhou Ge'er was the one who fled from the famine. Why don't you go and ask that Zhou Ge'er."

There is a kind suggestion from my aunt.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped with a joke by the person next to him, "What are you inquiring about, inquiring, you are so confused, Brother Zhou was only five years old at the time, what does he remember? I do know that there are several people who escaped from Jianghe Village. , you can ask..."

"Bah, pah, why can't I remember, I just remember when I was five years old!"

Several aunts suddenly changed the subject and argued.

Wu Qingyuan didn't pay attention to the audience's quarrel, and his heart also became suspicious. If he followed the words of a few aunties and Lin Amo, he might have made a mistake. The time of the disaster was different, and Zhou Fuxi was the same age Not the same!
