Everyone can see that Tao Er is unwilling, but Xu Jibai and Qi Bao really don't care.

"Okay, I've finished reading what I should see, and I should go if there's nothing else to do!" Qi Bao stretched lazily, patted Xu Jibai's waist, and signaled him to leave quickly.

Xu Jibai nodded with a smile, "I know, I know, don't worry, I'll be home right away. Go inside and pick a few cucumbers, pick the one you like, pick the tender one, go!"

Only then did Qi Bao enter the greenhouse with a smile, and went to pick cucumbers. "Small cucumber, big cucumber, green cucumber, green cucumber, old cucumber, young cucumber, here I come!" Qi Bao ran in while humming.

Xu Jibai shook his head helplessly, as long as he mentioned food, Qi Bao would forget all the unhappy things.

Turning to look at Tao Er, "Cousin Tao, you see, we have no control over what you said, otherwise, you can go to the county with your own vegetables and I will find you a store. You can’t make too much money, but you still have a few hard-earned money.”

Tao Er glared at Xu Jibai, who cares about those hard-earned money, he wants to make a lot of money, make a lot of money!

"This Qi Bao is too narrow-minded, but it's just a matter of the previous generation, why, I can't remember it for the rest of my life! After all, our family has raised Uncle Tao for more than ten years. There is no credit but hard work. Why is this ungrateful little white-eyed wolf so rich that he doesn't want to talk to our poor relatives anymore. Let me tell you, there is no such good thing, we can't get well, and he 76 can't even think about being happy!"

Tao Er put down his harsh words, turned around and left without waiting for Xu Jibai to say anything else.Xu Jibai frowned, and looked in the direction of the greenhouse, but luckily Qi Bao was not here, otherwise he might be sad if he heard it.He underestimated Qi Bao, the greenhouse is not soundproof, Tao Er's voice is not loud, but the words are clear, how could Qi Bao not hear?He just doesn't like to argue with Tao Er, anyway, he has heard such things since he was a child, and he doesn't feel much anymore.

After Tao Qiang left, Qi Bao poked his head out from the greenhouse, holding a half-gnawed cucumber in his hand. "gone?"

Xu Jibai waved at him, "Why don't you leave, come out quickly, on this hot day, hurry home and get some watermelon, it's delicious in the afternoon."

Qi Bao ran out as soon as he heard the food, "Let's go, it's too hot in the conservatory. By the way, Xu Da, it just so happens that a pot is installed here, so bring more mung beans and Baitang to make some mung bean soup. Drink some before going into the conservatory, lest you get heat stroke."

Xu Da responded quickly, and Xu Jibai asked Xu Da and Xu Fa to pick a small basket of fresh and green cucumbers, and bring them home directly for dinner at night, and the two of them picked a few more side dishes before returning home.

While walking, Qi Bao complained, "It's a hot day, I don't like to go out, and I'm sweating all over my body, it's sticky, it's so annoying!" It's annoying that he's gone so far.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll go back later and give you some hot water, and you'll be fine with a rinse later!"

Qi Bao nodded, then glared at Xu Jibai again, the person who made him sweat a lot every day was here, he didn't realize it yet, hum!

Qi Bao puffed his cheeks and clubbed Xu Jibai's arm, "Your feet hurt, carry me on your back."

Xu Jibai curled his mouth helplessly, squatted down, "Come on, come up."

Qi Bao took two steps back, trotted and jumped onto Xu Jibai's back, causing Xu Jibai's body to be lowered suddenly. Fortunately, he had experience so that he would not fall Qi Bao.As long as I toss a little harder at night, Qi Bao will definitely find all kinds of excuses to toss him the next day.But, he's happy with it.

Qi Bao lay comfortably on Xu Jibai's back. Although it was a bit hot this day, it was sticky and uncomfortable for the two of them to stick together, but Qi Bao was 12 percent satisfied that he didn't have to work hard to walk the mountain road.

"Xiaobai, don't take what Tao Qiang said to heart. His family has been saying that since my grandma was alive, and I'm used to it."

Xu Jibai was stunned for a moment, he was still thinking that if Qi Bao knew Tao Er's words, he would feel uncomfortable, how could he comfort him instead, he didn't want to be comforted by Qi Bao instead.Xu Jibai was a little moved. Although Tao Qiang really had nothing to do with him, he was really impatient when he heard him say that about Qi Bao. It can be suppressed for a while.

The pressure is suppressed, but it is impossible to completely eliminate it, and it is very annoying.When Qi Bao said this, he understood his intentions, and instead came to comfort him, which showed that Qi Bao cared about him.Qi Bao understands how much he cares about him, and he has begun to care more and more about him.

Thinking of this, Xu Jibai immediately smiled, "Well, don't worry, I am mainly afraid that you will feel uncomfortable, if you don't care, I will be relieved. If you are angry, feel free to send it to me, what is a husband doing?" Yes, isn't it just to vent your anger on Fu Lang!"

Qi Bao was amused by him, patted his back and cursed, "Get lost, husband!"

Xu Jibai chuckled twice, seeing that Qi Bao really didn't care, as long as he didn't care.But even if he doesn't care about it in his heart, it doesn't sound good to say it. It seems that Tao Er has to be punished, otherwise if he talks about it everywhere, if he knows it, he doesn't blame Bao'er, and if he doesn't know, he may accuse his Bao'er!

Before Xu Jibai gave Qi Bao a warning, something happened at home.

On the night when Qi Bao and the others went back, Xu Da and Xu Fa went to bed early. At night, they just wandered around the greenhouse in the dark and went to sleep separately after seeing that there was no problem.

In the middle of the night, when he heard the sound of glass cracking, Xu Da, who was always alert, woke up.Immediately afterwards, he asked about the smell of thick smoke, Xu Da hurriedly pushed his brother to wake up, "Fanggui, wake up, something seems wrong." While speaking, Xu Da had already put on his clothes and put on his pants Kang.

Xu Da's family also sat up, put on their clothes and asked Xu Da, "What's wrong?"

Xu Da looked vaguely at the bright light outside, vaguely felt that something was happening, but he was not sure, so he hurriedly ran two steps to open the door.

"Fanggui, it's flooded, get up quickly!" After finishing speaking, she didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly patted the door of Xu Fa's house, "Fazi, Xiyun, it's flooded, get up quickly..."

The house on Xu Fa's side was next to the greenhouse, and when the greenhouse caught fire, their house was the first to suffer.He piled up a lot of firewood on this side of the house, and now it is burning!

"Fazi, Fazi... Hurry up!" Xu Da kicked the door vigorously twice, but there was no response to the two "bang bang bang bang" of the door panel.

Xu Da's family hurriedly grabbed Xu Da, handed over the iron rod, and hurriedly said: "It's busy here, I'm afraid the smoke has entered the house. Xiyun has been tossing around a lot at night these days. I think the two of you didn't do anything in the middle of the night. Sleep, I'm sleeping like hell now, don't let Yan Xun faint again, hurry up and pry open the door with a crowbar!"

Xu Da took the crowbar and started to pry it open, and the door was opened with a few strokes. The two of them pushed the door open and walked in, regardless of being rude.

It's really called Xu Da's family, the two of them were not on the kang, they were both lying on the ground, Xiyun was protected by Xu Fa, and they both passed out.He thought that something was wrong when he heard Xu Da knock on the door. After all, Xiyun's physique was not as good as Xu Fa's, and he had already fainted.

The couple hurriedly hugged and dragged Xu Fa and his wife out of the house. As soon as they got out of the house, the fire outside burned through the roof, and the beams burst into flames.

Xu Da patted his heart, fed some water to the two people who were still unconscious, and ordered his family to inform his master.

Xu Da's family ran out in a hurry. Their house was between the village and Qi Bao's house on the mountain, and it was three or four hundred meters away from either side.In the middle of the night, it was impossible to find someone to put out the fire, and I could only watch helplessly as the greenhouse burned up, but there was nothing I could do.

Xu Da frowned tightly. Before going to bed, he and Xu Fa both went to check around, and there was no problem at all.And now that the weather is warm, there is no stove in the conservatory to heat it up, and there is no one outside, so where did the fire come from?Even if there is, it can only be burned from their house and then burned to the greenhouse. How can it be burned to them from the always humid greenhouse first?

Obviously, this was deliberately set on fire.

Then contacting Tao Er's words during the day, Xu Da easily figured out the joints.However, he couldn't say that. After all, he was the cousin of the young master of the Qi family. With the shrewdness of these two masters, it was naturally unexpected.Xu Da glanced at Xu Fa and his wife who were lying on the ground, frowned again, took two quilts in front of his house before the fire was off, came out and spread them on the ground, and hugged Xu Fa's family to lie down, after all It is a person who has a body, and he will have to find a doctor to take a good look at it later.

When Xu Jibai and the others arrived in a hurry, Xu Fa had already woken up, and was holding his brother who was still in a coma halfway and wiping tears.Seeing Xu Jibai and the others coming, he quickly followed Xu Da and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

Xu Jibai helped the two of them up, "Well, it's good that people are fine, everything else is external, if it's gone, it's gone, your master is not short of this money. Xu Fa, take your family Carry brother to the village, first go to the doctor to have a look, don't hurt your body."

Xu Fa wiped his eyes, sighed, and hurriedly carried his brother to the village.Xu Da hurriedly asked his brother to follow, don't be inconvenient if there is anything, his family can help.The matter of the heirs is a big deal, and Grandma Zhou also hurriedly followed.

Xu Miao stayed at home to look after the house, and Zhou's father went to the village to call a few people to help put out the fire.The flames had already burned the roof of Xu Fa's house. After all, it was a tile-roofed house, but it was still able to withstand the fire. The fire didn't ignite too much, but Xu Fa's house was almost completely burned.On Xu Da's side, the villagers hurriedly watered the house and put out the fire on the roof before going to Xu Fa's house to put out the fire.

The fire was not very big, but there was nothing left in the two large tile-roofed houses. The conservatory could not be rescued at all. The beams on it were burned to ashes, and the glass inlaid with them fell to the ground and broke. , everyone didn't waste that effort, and let it burn.

Xu Jibai and Qi Bao thanked the enthusiastic villagers one by one. Only Xu Miao's brother Xu Shui, Tao Yong, Lizheng Wangsheng and his eldest son, and a few villagers who can be said to be The words did not stay with the Qi family.These few people are either related to the Qi family, or are people who can talk in the village. Naturally, they stay to see if there is any place that can help. Moreover, if this fire starts, no matter whether someone deliberately caused trouble, There has to be a saying no.

The villagers are simple and simple, even if anyone loses a chicken on weekdays, they will be investigated, let alone such a big thing as a fire.

According to the laws of the Great Dynasty, arson is a serious crime.
