It was said that they would set off in half an hour. The father and daughter talked here and tidied up there. It was already an hour later when they changed into their clothes and went out.

One of them was carrying a basket, and the other was carrying a yellow-green schoolbag across his body. Xu Changqing, who was one step behind, took two steps back after thinking about it, turned around, picked up a lock, and hung it on the door of the house outside.

In this way, everyone knows that no one is at home at her house, and everyone is at work. Yesterday, there was indeed a thief. As for the courtyard door, that door cannot be locked.

Not to mention that there is a well more than ten meters deep in her yard. Several neighbors nearby who are far away from the Baizi River to the west will come to her house to fetch water when they are busy and do not go to the river to fetch water early in the morning.

Even every household in the village would lock their courtyard doors in broad daylight. Except for the row of households at the foot of the hill that had courtyard walls like hers, most of the other households still used sticks clamped between tree strips or straw.

, so there is no need to lock the outer courtyard door.

Doesn't this mean that this place has three hundred taels of silver? Xu Qiguang didn't stop his daughter when he saw that he had locked the door and carefully went to the well around which there was a one-meter-high earthen platform to get water for drying.

No matter how much he said at this moment, he would not make the child feel at ease. There are two daughters in the family, but they are two extremes from any point of view. One is not helping the oil bottle when it falls, and the other is too caring.

After Xu Changqing finished her work here, she just put down the wicker can carrying water in her hand. Out of habit, she subconsciously wanted to run to take a look at the two pigs in her pigsty before going out.

As soon as his daughter pulled out her leg, Xu Qiguang immediately held his forehead. At this moment, he could no longer remain silent and quickly spoke to urge him to leave. Otherwise, it would take midnight for him and his father to get home when they returned from the county town.

But who is Xu Changqing? He was shouting that he was going to do it right away, but he ran towards the pig pen like a gust of wind and floated back like a whirlwind, and even asked her to carry the basket without even taking a breath.

Xu Qiguang didn't know how many times he was speechless when facing this daughter, but it can be seen that this child is very thin, and there is really no big problem with her small body.

When Xu Changqing saw her father's refusal, she smiled and didn't ask for it again. Anyway, it wasn't very heavy, so her father could still carry it. At worst, she would find an opportunity to snatch it away halfway.

If you take a shortcut to the county seat, Baizigou is actually not very far from the county seat. It is less than twenty miles, and it only takes half an hour at Xu Qiguang's walking speed.

Usually when he goes home, he often catches a truck hauling goods from the coal mine and goes directly to the village from the main road. When he returns to work, he takes a shortcut on Maomao Road to the county seat and then transfers to the work.

Over the years, he has been coming here, and he has never mentioned buying a bicycle, not even that Bai Xiulan mentioned that she could store it in the county town.

It's not that he can't trust his brother-in-law, let alone his teacher's character, but that his wife has always been a bit of a petty person and wants to take advantage of anything she sees.

It doesn't matter if you get involved, it's just a loss of a few money. The key is that the other party relies on his old age to get an advantage and behaves well, and he always likes to gossip about him outside.

Especially since he no longer had the chance to go to college, and later had a direct conflict of interest with the other party's younger son-in-law, this bad habit has been on the rise.

In order to reduce unnecessary trouble and not to cause trouble for the teacher, unless necessary, he would rather wait outside to find a chance to see the teacher than come to the door.

Due to the geographical location, whether they take the main road or take a shortcut on Maomao Road, the Xu family living in the northeast corner cannot go around the village entrance if they go to the county seat.

It was the wheat harvest season at this time, and at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, even the furry children were in the fields. There was basically no one in every household. However, the closer you got to the village entrance, the more spectacular the scene was.

Probably because this place is close to the farm headquarters and the wheat field. Yesterday, everyone was so busy that they wanted to sleep on the floor. This was like this. As long as one person in the village knew about it, the news would spread throughout the country.

Xu Changqing could feel her appearance, and everyone present, including the men who were picking up wheat and leaving, also turned to look at her. If everyone hadn't divided their duties, they would all be here to comment on her.

When Mrs. Xu saw her son bringing her granddaughter over, she greeted him before the two men came forward, shouting loudly, "Didn't I say that I have to take the child to the city for a checkup?"

I mean, you just go and do your business, why do you come here? Xu Qiguang, who greeted the elder, responded cooperatively, "I'll take the kids there right now. I'll let you know before I leave."

It's not that there are no doctors in the village. There is a young man in the Bai family who can set bones and cure frostbite, fever, headache, and diarrhea. But he is not even a barefoot doctor.

Not to mention outsiders, not even the Bai family could trust the other party's medical skills. He was quite good, but it was a pity that he passed away a few years ago. This man said that his medical skills were passed down from his family, but in fact he only learned half a bucket of water.

People present who were familiar with this situation did not think that the couple of the Xu family were making a fuss. After all, the third member of the Xu family was the only one with few bloodlines, not even a male, so the girl should take it seriously.

What, isn't the third child about to give birth? That doesn't count. I haven't heard that there are two in the belly? Not to mention there are two in the belly, she is just pregnant with a single baby. There are some things that are hard to say.

Didn’t that girl from the Bai family only give birth to two daughters earlier? Didn’t she give birth to one in between and then fail to raise them? Who can guarantee that these two will slip out smoothly.

Next to him, Xu Ergen, who was a few years younger than Xu Dagen but was often deaf, heard the words of his elder sister-in-law and his nephew. His hearing suddenly recovered, and he could still connect a sentence.

"What are you talking about? You are the only kid with lots of rules." After shouting this, Xu Ergen muttered to himself as if he was afraid that outsiders would not know that he was deaf.

Take the child to see a doctor first. Children in the city are precious, and none of our farm children grow up playing around."

Hearing this, some people smiled knowingly, some smiled to save face, and made the most ingenious compliments. Some even kindly came to the rescue and helped Mrs. Xu to urge Xu Qiguang to take the child to the doctor.

"Hey, Qingzi, you finally dare to come out."

Just as Xu Changqing was following her father and leaving for the village entrance, there happened to be a stupid boy who continued to shout: "Hey, I'm calling you, you should come back first."

Why didn't you call me up yesterday? It was said outside that your brother-in-law was beaten by you? He did something immoral to annoy you, why don't we call Gangzi together..."

"Why are you shouting? Why don't you pick it up quickly?"
