Chapter 181 Child Bride

The courtyard was so big, Xiaotong hadn't been seen for four days. Naturally, someone noticed it. Seeing that Xiaoyi was supposed to go to work or eat, he didn't worry at all, everyone couldn't help but talk.

"Have any of you seen Xiao Tong in the past two days?"

"No, it seems that I haven't seen anyone show up for two days."

"Yes, I also remember, I have n't seen Xiao Tong for more than two days, right. "

Someone flicked their hands and settled, and said, "It's going to be three days."

"Isn't his brother gone, why can he still eat?" Someone said sourly.

Although every meal is no longer the scent of the big fish and meat, it can also smell a little meaty, and it is no longer a vegetable dumpling. Someone found that when Xiao Yi was washing the pots and bowls, what he was eating was The polenta is not mixed with whole grains.

Although the Lantern Festival has not yet been celebrated, this year and month, whoever celebrates the new year is not from the 30th to the fifth day of the new year, and even, many people do better at the 30th and the first day of the new year. Other times are still the same as usual. , Should eat Caiwowo, should eat coarse grains mixed with rough grains, or eat like this.

In addition, the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are a little better, and it's not uncommon for people to tighten their belts in the following days.

The two brothers Xiaoyi used to eat Caiwowotou. They also ate rough grains mixed with coarse grains, but since they got along with Ye Clerk from that Xiaohe unit, it was amazing. There were fish and meat. .

I had always felt that it was not easy for the two brothers to depend on each other, but now that Xiaotong is gone, Xiaoyi, the brother, still eats and drinks, goes to work as usual, and is not in a hurry.

I still eat pure cornmeal, which makes people have to think about it.

"Isn't it dead?" Someone said suddenly.

When the others heard it, they turned their heads and looked at her, no one answered.

This person and the Xiaotong brothers had a bad relationship. The cause was that three years ago, her son grabbed half of Xiaotong's vegetable nest and was pushed and thrown by Xiaotong. Then she refused to go to Xiaotong's house and rolled around. Someone insisted on paying for her son's medical expenses, saying that he broke her son.

After a whole day of trouble, no one could persuade him. He threw the bowl and the pot. In the end, Yi got two catties of dried sweet potatoes in his hands.

Two catties of dried sweet potatoes, she can really speak. Whoever put these two catties of dried sweet potatoes is a two-day ration, so she was corrupted by her, and she didn't want to think about how to live behind the two brothers.

Therefore, although they all live in the same yard, no one is willing to talk to her family more, and occasionally just say hello without looking up.

This will hear her such bad words, no one is willing to pay attention to it, just as if they have not heard it.

"Why, I didn't make a mistake." The woman had a sloppy face and long eyes. Seeing that no one was paying attention to herself, she yelled harshly, "Otherwise, how can someone behave well and disappear for a few days. Maybe it's Xiao Yi. I sold my younger brother and replaced it with meat."

"Mom Stone, don't speak so badly, who didn't know that Brother Xiaoyi was kissing."

"Yeah, don't say that."

Two years ago, no one thought about it. To adopt Xiao Tong, but Xiao Tong was unwilling to leave his brother, and Xiao Yi had to give him away, so he gritted his teeth and took his brother to live.

Xiao Yi managed to survive for two years until he was fifteen years old. When he was recruiting workers in a furniture factory, he was recruited as an apprentice by virtue of his junior high school level.

Shitou curled her lips in disdain, and hummed in a low voice: "Who knows, you are so kind to be the secretary of that unit. If you have no relatives, who will give it away with big fish and meat, I guess, Xiao Yi just sold his younger brother to that secretary."

"Anyway, I didn't see Xiao Tong showing up after seeing that secretary two days ago." When the

others listened, they made a careful calculation. After the secretary visited last time, Xiao Tong didn't show up.

Although I think it's impossible, think about it, Xiao Yi was unwilling to give away his brother two years ago. It doesn't mean that he was unwilling two years later. Of course, there are very few people who have this guess. Most people still don't think that Xiao Yi will give away his brother, let alone sell it.

It's no longer what it used to be. It's illegal to buy and sell people. Besides, this year, who would buy a half-year-old kid, who eats more and does less, and is not a girl. In remote rural areas, he might buy a girl as a child bride-in-law or something.

Of course, Aunt He heard these gossips, and this evening, while eating, she also talked about the gossips she heard today.

"Boss, Xiao Tong has been away for three or four days. Have you heard what's the matter?"

Xiao He was chewing coarse grain steamed buns, swallowed quickly, drank two more mouthfuls of soup, and smoothed the steamed buns down. After that, she said, "I haven't paid attention in the past two days, what's the matter?"

Aunt He said what she had heard, a little worried: "You said, Xiao Tong shouldn't be sick, right?"

She was not. Thinking like others, but wondering if Xiao Tong is sick.

"No!" He Xiaomei waved her hand aside and said: "Nothing, I happened to ran into Brother Xiao Yi the day before yesterday. I asked, Brother Xiao Yi said that Xiao Tong is at Ye Gu's place."

"At Ye Gu's place? No wonder." Aunt He suddenly heard it, no wonder Xiao Tong was not at home and Xiao Yi was worried.

Xiao He: "Mom, don't care about those people, just stay idle, what are you talking nonsense, don't you know that Xiao Yi person, where would he give Xiao Tong away. I guess Xiao Tong is Dao Ye Let's go to the secretary's house." As

soon as the voice fell, Xiao He was stunned, because in the afternoon he vaguely heard someone say that Ye Guan's house seemed to be on fire, and that Ye Guan had asked for leave. He hadn't been to work for three or four days.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Cui asked when he saw that Xiao He's expression was wrong.

"No, nothing." If Xiao Tong is at Ye Gu's place, and Ye Gu's house is on fire again, then Xiao Tong is not...

Xiao He hesitated for a moment, but didn't say what he had heard.

He just listened to it when he was off work, but didn't pay attention. It would be recalled that the people at that meeting seemed to be talking about Ye Gu.

But he wasn't sure about that. Besides, if Xiao Tong really had something to do, it would be impossible for Xiao Yi, who was a big brother, to be ignorant, and he would be so calm without reason, so Xiao He thought about it and didn't say it for now.

Little Cui couldn't tell that there was something in Xiao He's heart, but in front of a large family, she was not easy to ask. After dinner, she took Xiao He out, and after repeated questioning, she knew about it.

"Is this true?"

Xiao He shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard about it, and I don't know if it's true. But I think about it, indeed I didn't see Mr. Ye appear in the unit this week.

Chapter 182

The two were talking in the alley when Xiao Yi was back.

The doubtful two immediately stopped Xiao Yi and asked.

In fact, it was Xiao He who stopped people, Xiao Cui was still a new wife after all, and was not familiar with Xiao Yi, so naturally it was impossible to stop people.

"Xiao Yi, is Xiao Tong playing with Ye Guan?" Xiao He asked straightforwardly.

"Yeah."

Seeing that Xiaoyi's expression was calm, Xiaohe turned his mind and asked: "Then, did you know that there was a fire in Ye Gu's house?" The expression on Xiao Yi's face still didn't fluctuate, and he nodded: "Yeah, I know. ." He has been there to see it, how could he not know.

When both Xiao He and Xiao Cui saw Xiao Yi's calm answer, Xiao Tong should be fine. If something happened, Xiao Yi would have been so slow, and he would have been anxious for a long time.

But the two people still asked uneasyly.

"Is Xiao Tong okay?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, what can he do." With Sister Ye there, it is impossible for him to be hungry.

Ye Yuxuan could still bring five catties of dumplings to him even when the courtyard was burnt down. Xiao Yi knew that she was telling him that Xiao Tong was fine with her.

Xiao He asked carefully: "Why is there a fire in Officer Ye's house?"

"I don't know, I knew she took Xiao Tong to live with a friend's house. As for the others, maybe it's dry and dry."

Heaven is dry and things are dry? Xiaocui glanced at the snow on the ground subconsciously, then looked up at the snow on the roof in the distance, just to see that his man was also confused and wanted to say something, but after another thought, no one said that there is snow in winter. It can't catch fire.

The three of them returned to the courtyard side by side, and they didn't talk about the fire in Ye Yuxuan's house on the way.

"When will Xiao Tong come back? You don't know, there are some bad words in the courtyard."

Xiao Yi said indifferently: "When did those people say things better?"

Let alone Xiao He, even Xiao Cui was mute when she heard these words.

Although Xiao Cui had just married here, she also agreed with Xiao Yi's words that some housewives in this large courtyard were not as ideological as her people in the countryside. They had broken mouths and liked nonsense, and their words were unpleasant.

Xiao Yi seems to feel awkward, like two, then said:. "Small Tong had a few days back, and now very cold, leaves his sister over there, I quite reassuring"

Having said that, in fact, small Yi has planned to go to the family hospital of the city hospital tomorrow to see if he can go in and see Xiao Tong.

When Xiao He heard it, he didn't say much.

Xiao Yi went home and cooked by himself. It didn't take long for the smell of the food in his home to float out. This time it was the smell of dumplings, which made many people who had already eaten secretly swallowed their saliva.

There were even some children who were clamoring for dumplings with their parents, and the stones that had robbed Xiaotongcaiwotou were also included.

Mother Stone was upset when her son yelled to eat dumplings and smelled the scent of dumplings coming from next door. She picked up her broom and beat the stone.

"Eat and eat, you know to eat, you are a pig reborn, my old lady lacks you to eat and drink, what can you do, what can you eat, nothing left, just eaten just now, now

you want to eat..." If you are more uplifting, you don't want to eat dumplings!" The Stone Lady was beating and cursing, and she was very annoyed that Ye Yuxuan could not get Ye Yuxuan's admiration for the stone, and that she could not get some food from Ye Yuxuan.

Ye Shuan didn't have eyesight either. What is good about Xiaotong's wild child with no father or mother? What's wrong with her stone? Give it to Xiaotong instead of giving it to Xiaotong if she has food.

Shishi was one year younger than Xiao Tong, and was always so distressed by his mother, wherever he had been beaten, suddenly cried and screamed across the sky.

Xiao Yi listened at home and was very satisfied.

Don't think he doesn't know. When he was not at home, Shishi often came to his house and kicked the door. Xiaotong was afraid that Shizi Niang would come back to ruin things. , And then hurried home when he saw him back.

Also, two days ago, when Sister Ye gave him dumplings and left, Xiao Yi also saw that, Stone Lady encouraged Stone to behave with Sister Ye, trying to cheat from Sister Ye Chongli.

Xiao Yi felt very happy when she heard the stone lady beating the stone with her hands.

If it hadn't been for living in the same courtyard, and the stone was young, Xiao Yi might have already found a chance to get the stone.

the next day.

When Ye Yuxuan went to the work unit again in the morning, she ran into Xiao Yi who was wandering at the door of the family yard when she came back.

"Xiao Yi, why are you here?" Ye Yuxuan asked. After realizing that he came to see Xiao Tong, she hurriedly said: "You and me come in."

Xiao Yi shook his head: "Ye, sister Ye, I won't go in. , This is Xiao Tong's clothes. I washed them. You can bring them to him."

"You follow me, you haven't seen Xiao Tong for a few days, don't you want him." Ye Yuxuan did not take Xiao Yidai. The cloth bag that came over greeted the doorman uncle, ready to lead Xiao Yi in.

"I, it's not convenient for me." Xiao Yi hesitated.

My younger brother lives here to heal his injuries. He went rashly, and the master might feel uncomfortable when he saw it.

Ye Yuxuan knew what he was worried about, and smiled: "It's okay,

let 's go." Gu Yanzhe had said that Xiao Yi could come here to see Xiao Tong. Naturally, Ye Yuxuan was not afraid that Gu Yanzhe would be unhappy if she knew that she would take Xiao Yi to the house.

Xiao Yi was still hesitating, it was obvious that Ye Yuxuan had already walked in first, so after thinking about it for a moment, she followed with her cloth bag.

At this time, Xiao Tongzheng and Gu Yanzhe were sitting on the sofa eating snacks.

Xiao Tong was forced to take out the snacks. Of course, he himself was willing.

"All these things can be eaten for you. I can eat everything my sister buys for me in the future, but you can eat something. You are not allowed to use my sister's idea." Xiaotong thought about it all night. , My sister will be unhappy when she finds out.

In this case, let him have a conversation with the man.

Gu Yanzhe ate the beef jerky and gave Xiaotong angrily: "Boy, you forgot that you live in my house now and use my medicine. I don't want to ask you for money, so you dare to make terms with me. "

I don't need your medicine." Xiao Tong said immediately when he heard it.

"I don't use my medicine? If you don't use my medicine, you will have to roll around in pain tonight, believe it or not?" Don't look at Xiaotong's burns and scalds, it's because he treated them in time and put on his own special ointment. , Otherwise, where can he be so comfortable to sleep when he wants to sleep, and eat when he wants to eat.

"Believe!" Xiao Tong didn't think that Gu Yanzhe would deceive him on this matter.

"Then you are still hard on me." Gu Yanzhe glanced at Xiao Tong contemptuously.
