After having a pleasant dinner with the Lin family father and son, Lin Amo packed up the empty room at home for Wu Qingyuan to live in under Lin Laogen's instructions, and even dug out a relatively new mattress and quilt for him. spread.

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

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

"Lin Amo..."

Staring at the reflection on the window, thinking of the two brothers of the Lin family fooling Lin Laogen, the boy sticking out his tongue cunningly, smiled and murmured in a low voice before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

..........

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

Walking out of the door, besides the old woman of the Lin family, there are three other rooms. The second and third rooms of the Lin family have all got up and started working. Those who cook cook, those who fetch water, even the children are no exception, helping the family with things. Son.

This situation is not uncommon in Liushu Village. Children from poor families are already in charge of the house, and they are considered 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, and I'll call you when breakfast is ready..."

Seeing Wu Qingyuan coming out of the room, Lin Laogen yelled while fetching water, and what he said was the simplicity of a country man.

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

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

Wu Qingyuan liked this thick and simple atmosphere very much, he greeted the Lin family in a good mood, and walked forward to help Lin Laogen fetch water while talking about going to the town.

Although he inquired a lot of information here at Old Man Zhou's place and when he was on the boat, it would be better for him to find out more carefully for the first time here. The information in the village is too occluded, and the county seat is too far away, so only the town is the most suitable place.

However, the main purpose of his going to the town was to exchange for some bits and pieces of silver. He only had a dozen or so copper coins with him now. Whether he was looking for someone to inquire about Zhou Fuxi's news, he needed money, or he needed money to settle in this place. 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 alone. You go together , I will go to the next-door village to ask you first, I remember that there is a Zhou Lao who is almost seventy in the next-door village, and the information is similar to what you said."

Lin Laogen nodded readily. He already had a good impression of Wu Qingyuan. He knew that Wu Qingyuan could heal his brother Lin's face at dinner last night. , As long as he thinks that his son will become more beautiful, he can even wake up from his dreams with a smile.

The two made an arrangement to go to the town in the yard. After Wu Qingyuan finished washing, 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 inappropriate for a man and a younger brother to appear together alone, and it is inevitable to be seen talking.

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

So at the entrance of the village, the other villagers who met and went to the town together saw the two of them walking side by side, and didn't think about gossip at all, but they still came up to say hello out of curiosity.

"Amo is also going to town today, come and help my aunt carry a basket, hey, this little brother is...Amo, your relative?"

A few aunts gathered around, saying hello was fake, but looking at Wu Qingyuan was real.

Their small village is not as prosperous as the town. Except for the villagers and relatives of the three aunts and six wives, there are basically no strangers here. It is very rare for a stranger who has never seen it occasionally, so of course you should pay attention.

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

Especially Wu Qingyuan's temperament is different from that of the country guys in the village. He looks like he came from a rich family, and the aunts are very curious.

"Brother Ang is not a relative of my family. He came to us from outside to find relatives. He is staying at my house temporarily..."

They are all from the village and there is nothing to hide. Lin Amo explained patiently, and explained Wu Qingyuan's origin clearly in a few words.

Compared with Wu Qingyuan, his explanation from this village is naturally more convincing. The aunties did not doubt his identity at all, and were quite interested in him coming from outside, and kept asking him what he looked like outside , I heard that the bustling outside is very lively, how lively is it?Are people out there like them?I heard from passing caravans that the people outside are different from them here, is it true?

This is not because the aunts are too gossip, but because they are really curious. Most of the men in the village have never been to far places, let alone the women and brothers in the village. Someone was there, and he heard that he came from so far away from the sea, so he couldn't help asking, he was very yearning for the outside world.

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

He is cautious, but in fact, a group of aunts will not doubt it, and they are attracted by what he said. Even Lin Amo looked at him with admiration, thinking that he has been to so many places and knows so much Things are amazing!

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

The aunts in the village are very curious and capable of gossip. 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 around again, he would be scared by these aunts, especially knowing that he was not married yet and was going to settle down in the village chief near Shiqiao Town. The eyes of the aunts lit up and they immediately started to work together. Persuade him to take root in their Willow Village, and then Balabala and their relative's daughter and brother are 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's because Wu Qingyuan's condition looks very good. It can be seen that this is definitely a good man who loves his wife. It doesn't matter if he is poor. No one in the village is poor. If the husband and wife work together for a few years, they will have everything!

"Several aunts are interested in Wu, but I want to find my relatives before thinking about other things..."

I really can't go on fooling around, Wu Qingyuan can only refuse clearly, the fighting ability of these aunts is too strong!

For the sake of talking, the aunts finally became sensible, and ended this topic with some regrets, but before arriving in the town, the aunts continued another topic in good spirits, curious about the relatives he was looking for Which one 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 have much knowledge, they are very well informed about the news of the surrounding villages. Maybe they can chat with some useful information .

"Brother, did you remember wrongly? We have many people who fled from famine and migrated here, but that happened 12 years ago. Many people died of starvation in the floods and famines. I was lucky and didn't suffer any disasters, but at that time many refugees came over, we all remember clearly, and there have been no disasters in the past few decades..."

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

"Yes, Brother Ang, we have fled from 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. Let's see if you remember something wrong?"

Lin Amo also nodded. He didn't think about it carefully yesterday, but now that the aunt in front mentioned it, he also became confused.

That’s right, I just heard Wu Qingyuan say that I was surprised when I was 70 years old, but I didn’t pay attention to the news about fleeing from famine. There was a big event of fleeing from famine here 12 years ago. Something is wrong.

"That's right, that's right, Brother Zhou is the same group that fled the famine back then, why don't you go ask Brother Zhou about it."

Auntie kindly suggested.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the person next to him made a joke, "What are you asking about? You are so confused. Brother Zhou was only five years old at the time. What does he remember? I know that there are several families in Jianghe Village who escaped back then." , you can ask..."

"Bah, bah, why can't I remember, I only remember when I was five years old!"

The aunts suddenly changed the subject and started arguing.

Wu Qingyuan didn't listen carefully to the quarrels of the crowd, and he became suspicious in his heart. If he followed the words of the aunts and Lin Amo, he might have made a mistake. The time of the famine was different, and Zhou Fuxi's age was about the same as that of Zhou Fuxi. It's different!
