Chapter 263 Is this girl really stupid?
Tieling Brigade, at the foot of the mountain.
Due to geographical reasons, Tieling Brigade has a spring at the foot of the mountain, and the spring water is sweet and sharp.
The team simply cleared the spring and surrounded it with stones to form a small pond.
Over time, most people in the brigade would rather walk a few more steps to the foot of the mountain to fetch water.
When Xie Chuntao carried the bucket to the spring, he happened to meet several families fetching water.
Most of them are men in the family, and a few are couples. After all, they have been doing farm work for a long time, and the women are as strong as the men in the family.
If two people come together, it can save some time.
Among them, a young girl named Xie Chuntao stood out.
The main reason was that everyone in the team knew that the Xie family loved this daughter very much and never let her do hard work like fetching water.
"Oh, Chuntao is here to fetch water too. She's really sensible!"
"What did I say? I still have to raise my daughter. My daughter is so caring!"
"No wonder your mother always says you are sensible and better than that naughty boy in our family!"
When Aunt Liu saw Xie Chuntao coming, she quickly smiled and made room for her.
"By the way, Chuntao, why isn't your brother the one fetching water today?"
Xie Chuntao's eyes wandered for a moment, and she couldn't help looking a little guilty.
This water she picked was not for the Xie family!
But in response to Aunt Liu's question, Xie Chuntao replied dryly, "My brother sprained his ankle while working today, so I came to fetch water today."
After hearing this, Aunt Liu praised her again and again, and even the people around her agreed with her.
"Chun Tao is really hardworking. If you ask me, whoever gets Chun Tao as a daughter-in-law will be blessed!"
"By the way, Old Qian, isn't your second son only one year older than Chuntao? That's just right!"
"Oh, the second son of the Qian family, who is so dark that you can't even see him without a light at night, is worthy of Chuntao!"
"That's right. If you ask me, Chuntao would be more than qualified to marry a city guy!"
In this era, people naturally have a filter for city dwellers, especially those who can get food supply.
So when I say this, I am actually praising Xie Chuntao.
However, Xie Chuntao was a little anxious. These aunts loved to spread gossip, and she was afraid that the rumor would get out that she wanted to marry a city dweller.
What would Brother Xiao and especially Aunt Feng think?
You don't think Xie Chuntao looks down on Xiao Kaixuan, do you?
Xie Chuntao got anxious, "Aunts, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say I want to marry a city person."
These aunts are very smart. As soon as they saw Xie Chuntao's reaction, they saw something was wrong.
"Hey, our Chuntao has someone she likes? Is he from our team?"
"Who is it, Erhu, or Tiewa?"
"I think it must be the boy from the Xiao family. That boy is really good-looking, and there is no girl in the team who doesn't miss him!"
"That's right. Kaixuan is now a public security officer, and he is also a person who eats rations! He is different from those of us who make a living in the fields!"
"Look at what you guys said, it seems like the kid from the Xiao family is so good, maybe Chuntao doesn't even like him!"
The moment Xie Chuntao heard Xiao Kaixuan's name, her face slowly turned red, and later on, it looked like it was burning.
"Hey, I've got some water. I'm leaving now!"
Xie Chuntao lowered his head, picked up the bucket with a carrying pole, stood up and walked away.
However, she completely overestimated her strength, and the moment she stood up, she felt that she could no longer control the burden on her shoulders.
“Ahhh!”
In an instant, not only did the water in the bucket splash out, but even Xie Chuntao's body was shaken from side to side, and she was about to fall.
"Chun Tao, Chun Tao!"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from a distance, and the next moment, two figures rushed over.
When Xie Chuntao calmed down from the chaos, she found that her mother was supporting her.
Her elder brother was taking the carrying pole off her shoulders.
"Chun Tao, are you okay? Look at you, with your little strength, you still carried two full buckets of water!"
"Luckily your brother and I happened to be here, otherwise you would have plunged headfirst into this spring!"
Zhu Su'e poked her daughter's head with a finger in annoyance.
Xie Chuntao touched her chest with some fear, "Mom, brother, it's a good thing you're here!"
However, the next second, she felt something was wrong.
She just said that she was helping the family fetch water because Boss Xie sprained his foot!
Now her elder brother is standing next to her!
Xie Chuntao looked around and found that the people around her were looking at her with strange eyes.
Just now, in order to prevent her from falling, Boss Xie and Zhu Su'e ran over.
We are not blind, and Boss Xie looks so brisk when he walks, he doesn't look like he has sprained his ankle at all.
Moreover, Boss Xie also came here carrying a bucket, and it was obvious that he was here to fetch water.
Xie Chuntao's words about helping her family fetch water were directly exposed.
Whose family is she fetching water for?
Why would she lie?
Especially the aunts next to them, as if they smelled gossip, they all looked Xie Chuntao up and down.
However, the eyes of the masses are sharp, and soon someone discovered the clues.
Aunt Liu suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, the bucket Chuntao is carrying seems to be from the Xiao family!"
"Yes, absolutely!"
"Feng Xiuhong broke the handle of the bucket before, and it was our old Feng who helped to fix it!"
After these words were spoken, everyone looked at Xie Chuntao with more playfulness and a bit of understanding.
It turns out that Xie Chuntao really likes the boy from the Xiao family!
Zhu Su'e was just too concerned about her daughter just now and only reacted now.
Is Xie Chuntao trying to please Feng Xiuhong again? !
If it wasn't in front of everyone, Zhu Su'e would have wanted to slap Xie Chuntao in the face.
Is this girl really stupid?
No matter how much you like Xiao Kaixuan, you can't rush to get close to him like this!
Before this, she had given all the good things she had taken out from home to Feng Xiuhong, but at least it was done secretly and no one else knew about it.
Now, she has no name or status, but she rushes to work for the Xiao family!
Do you still want this reputation?
Zhu Su'e also reacted quickly, and quickly explained with a smile, "After all, this Lao Xiao is a martyr, and Feng Xiuhong is alone at home now."
"I'll let Chuntao go to the Xiao family to help. The organization has always taught us to help the families of martyrs!"
Although Zhu Su'e explained quickly, everyone heard Xie Chuntao's lie just now.
Nowadays, few people believe in helping the families of martyrs!
Aunt Liu usually had a good relationship with Zhu Su'e. Seeing her pleading look, she quickly tried to smooth things over. "You old Xie family are really aware of this. When we get back, I'll also let our boy go to the Xiao family to help!"
