The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 258 The whole village plans to build a new house

After leaving the county government office, Lin Xi found an empty place, entered the boundary bead, restored his original appearance, and then quickly returned to the backyard of Huichun Hall.

"Lin Xi girl, you're back!"

Doctor Zhou was sitting on a stool, holding a palm-leaf fan, watching over a clay pot boiling medicine. He looked up and saw Lin Xi jump over the wall into the yard.

"Uncle Zhou, you go ahead and do your work. I'm leaving now. Remember to get the pills tonight!"

Lin Xi felt that he had kept his mother waiting for a little too long and was afraid that she would worry, so he smiled and waved to Doctor Zhou, and after saying this, he hurriedly ran forward.

Watching her quickly disappearing figure, Doctor Zhou couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and continued to fan the fire with the cattail leaf fan in his hand to boil the medicine.

Lin Xi came to the pharmacy in front and left a piece of silver for Quanfu, saying it was the fee for the acupuncture given to her by Doctor Zhou.

There happened to be several patients waiting for their medicines at that moment, so Quanfu did not want to say much to Lin Xi. He put away the money, said to Lin Xi, "Goodbye, young lady," and then busied himself getting medicines for the patients.

"Mom, are you impatient?"

After leaving Huichun Hall, Lin Xi jumped onto the carriage, lifted the curtain, stuck out his tongue at Cao and smiled.

"No, I was just thinking about what we bought. Xi'er, go get some food from there later. We'll steam white rice for everyone at noon."

Cao stuck her head out and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, she leaned over to Lin Xi's ear and whispered.

She was very cautious and only said "there" without mentioning the word "boundary bead".

Lin Xi nodded when he heard this. In a flash of thought, two sacks of rice appeared in the carriage, and a plate of grapes fell into Cao's hands.

"Mom, eat some grapes in the carriage, let's go home!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he pulled the reins symbolically and Xiaohong ran towards the city gate.

After leaving the city gate, Cao got out of the carriage and sat side by side with Lin Xi, who was driving. Lin Xi squinted her eyes happily, thinking of what Shopkeeper Zhou had said to her before, she spit out the grape skin in her mouth, looked at Cao with a smile and said, "Mother, I have good news for you. Shopkeeper Zhou just told me that my uncle and his men have won several battles recently, and they are planning to take back Guanxi Prefecture in the near future!"

Upon hearing this, Cao was overjoyed. She was holding a grape and handing it to Lin Xi's mouth. She was so happy that she exerted force and the grape in her hand was squeezed so hard that juice came out, which just happened to go into Lin Xi's nostrils.

"Ah! Ahh!"

Lin Xi's nose was irritated by the grape juice and he couldn't help but sneeze twice!

She rubbed her nose, looked at Cao who quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her face and smiled, "Mother, are you so happy to hear this news?"

"Of course I'm happy. After we recapture Guanxi Prefecture and defeat the Jin soldiers, your uncle will be able to come back!"

Cao wiped the grape juice off Lin Xi's face, took back the handkerchief, and imagined the scene of her brother returning victoriously, smiling from ear to ear.

What they didn't know was that Cao Zhu, who was out on a mission at the moment, had lost contact with the army for several days, and his life or death was uncertain!

After Cao fed Xiaohong a few grapes, Xiaohong started to play happily, and soon the two of them and their horse returned to Linshan Village.

"Sister, mother, Xiaohong, you are back!"

Lin An was pushing a cart out to dump broken bricks when he happened to see Xiaohong running towards him. He put down the cart and happily ran towards Lin Xi and the others.

Xiaohong was so scared that she slammed on the brakes. The horse neighed and stood up straight. Cao's body was unstable and she was about to roll towards the carriage behind her. Fortunately, Lin Xi reacted quickly and embraced her and floated down from the carriage.

"Xiao An'er, you scared me to death. I almost knocked you out!"

Xiaohong's front hooves landed on the ground, and her heart was pounding. If she accidentally hurt Xiaoan, those three guys would laugh at her to death.

Lin Xi looked at Cao, whose face turned pale, walked up to Xiao An'er, and rudely gave him a slap!

"Didn't you see how fast Xiaohong is? How dare you rush over like this!"

Lin An covered his forehead and stuck out his tongue at Lin Xi embarrassedly. Seeing that Cao was a little frightened, he hurriedly came to her and asked carefully: "Mom, are you okay? I'm sorry, I will pay attention next time!"

"Mom is fine, let's go home!"

Mrs. Cao had recovered by now. She had wanted to teach her son a lesson, but when she saw that her daughter had already taught him a lesson and his forehead was red from being hit by her daughter, she was no longer angry. She blew on his forehead with heartache and spoke softly.

Seeing that Cao didn't blame him, Lin An acted coquettishly to Lin Xi a few more times. After seeing Lin Xi smile, he happily pushed the cart and ran towards the village.

Seeing him pushing the cart effortlessly and running away, Lin Xi looked at Cao, shook his head and laughed.

I hope Xiao An will always be healthy, lively and happy!

The mother and daughter got into the carriage with a smile and sorted out the things in the carriage.

Fortunately, the butcher sealed the basket containing the meat tightly, otherwise the pork would be spilled all over the carriage, and they would have to clean the carriage again.

"Xi'er, please take out some more food. In the next few days, the villagers will definitely help us build houses. If the food is not enough, we won't run to the county town. We might as well take out all the food for the next period of time at once."

Cao looked at the carriage which was still more than half empty, thought for a moment, and said to Lin Xi with a smile.

"Okay, mother is still thoughtful!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, a thought flashed through his mind, and the carriage was suddenly filled with bags of rice and flour.

Cao and Lin Xi sat outside the carriage, driving Xiaohong, and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Just now Lin An had told everyone that Cao and Lin Xi were back. The team members kept looking towards the village road from time to time. When they saw the carriage coming, they hurriedly surrounded it.

They all shouted to help move things. Lin Xi and Cao did not refuse everyone's kindness. They jumped off the carriage and let the children do the work.

Lin Xi looked at the clean and tidy ground in front of him, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and asked in surprise: "Everyone works so fast?"

You know, it took only an hour from the time she left to the time she came back.

At this time, Xiaobai, Xiaogui and Xiaoque flew in front of her and said happily: "Master, with the three of us helping, everyone will work faster!"

The big-headed woman who was washing vegetables heard what the three beasts said and shouted loudly, "Lin Xi girl, it's really thanks to these three little guys. When the little bird flapped its wings, all the wood flew out of the ruins and piled over there!"

As she spoke, she pointed to a large pile of wood under a big tree, and then continued, "That's great. We don't have to chop wood for the next few days. These woods are enough for cooking!"

Yuanyuan carried a big bag of rice to the women who were making lunch, walked over and touched Xiaobai's head, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin Xi, Xiaobai waved his little paw and the broken bricks and other things automatically flew onto the cart. You just need to push them out. If you weren't afraid that people from other villages might pass by and find something wrong, Xiaobai would have wanted to let these things fly out of the village directly!"

The village head's wife saw the little turtle stretching its neck, looking for praise, so she wiped her hands on her apron, pointed at the little turtle's back and said, "The fact that we were able to lay the foundation so quickly is all thanks to the little turtle. When it saw the villagers struggling to tamp the soil with stones, it transformed into a giant turtle and fell from the sky. In just a few tamps, the foundation was firmly tamped down by the little turtle."

After saying that, she took out a clean towel from her arms and carefully wiped the little turtle's shell.

The wives in the village also spoke up and praised Xiaobai and the other two. The three little guys felt a little proud after hearing what they said, and told everyone that they would go to help when their family built a house.

Hearing this, Lin Xi clapped his hands and said to the wives in the village: "Aunts and aunts, why don't you build a new house together? This way it will be warm in winter. I went to the city today and heard from some elders that this year may be a cold winter!"

When the wives heard this, they were immediately excited. Last time, Lin Xi distributed the money from selling pills to everyone, and it was more than enough to build a house.

At this time, the men who had gone up the mountain to cut wood had just returned. After they put down the wood, the wives of each family gathered around their husbands and talked about building houses.

Everyone was interested, and the kids were clamoring to build a new house.
