Chapter 114: My Aunt
Nie Tianming followed Lin Zhiye In addition to the door, the task of the two of them today was to pull out the corn trees left in the field.
This is a very physically demanding job, not only to beware of being painted with residual leaves, but more importantly, to pull out the roots of the corn stalks, so as not to remain in the ground and cause problems for planting in the spring of the following year.
The two men each put a hoe on their shoulders and went to the field.
The village of Houzhaogou is called "ditch" because the whole village is located in a ravine.
The ravine is necessarily much larger than an ordinary valley, but the overall terrain is uneven, and the houses throughout the village are located high and low.
When you leave the house, you have to walk a long way to get to today's cornfield.
As a result, without waiting for the two of them to walk a few steps, the villagers of the same village who were chatting outside and basking in the sun had already arrived at Nie Tianming and Lin Zhiye.
Lin Zhiye's previous leg and foot injuries and paralysis in bed are no secret in a small village.
Although Lin Zhiye felt that this was a disgraceful thing, as long as one person went to his house and found out about it, it meant that the whole village knew about it.
Most people are sympathetic, but many people feel that it is not a tragic thing.
The reason is because Lin Zhiye has a beautiful daughter, Lin Guyu.
Life is like this, no matter how ordinary and mediocre you are, or even if life is not very smooth, as long as there is one thing that is beyond ordinary people, it will attract envy.
"Second Uncle Lin, your leg injury is healed, didn't you hear that you can't get out of bed?"
The one who spoke was a man with a bald head, and he was called Lin Zhiye's second uncle, who should be much younger than Lin Zhiye.
It seems that he is older than Lin Zhiye, and his bald head is covered by a few hairs supported by him, which looks even more funny.
What do you mean that if you can't get out of bed, this person can't say something nice? Nie Tianming felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show his forbearance.
And Lin Paper was very generous, stepped forward and said: "Fugui, your eldest brother and I are on my legs, thanks to my aunt, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to get out of bed." ”
Obviously, Lin Zhiye didn't take what he said just now to heart, but introduced Nie Tianming to everyone.
"As long as the leg injury is healed, I will no longer be subject to that sin, and I will lie down all day, and my whole person's spirit will not be very good. ”
At this time, it was an old lady who spoke, full of silver hair, and she looked very energetic with a blushing face, she looked at Lin Zhiye and said with a smile.
What the grandmother said was not unreasonable, Lin Zhiye was on the construction site before, the wind and rain came and went, and his whole face was tanned by the sun.
But because of this year's recuperation, the whole person has gained weight, and even his face has become a little fairer, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for more than a year, your old man's body is still so strong, when my Gu Yu gets married, I will definitely invite you to the house for two drinks." ”
"That's good, your eight girls are handsome, don't worry about finding a good family. ”
"As long as the leg injury is healed, I have been busy outside for more than a year, and I don't care about going up to your house to see you. ”
"Zhiye, you can be regarded as a good wife, these days when you are lying in bed, she is alone in and out of the house. "
Everyone chatting with each other stepped forward to congratulate Lin Zhiye, and everyone looked happy and harmonious.
"Who is this lad?"
The man who was called rich by Lin Zhiye pointed at Nie Tianming and said.
"This is the good family I found for Gu Yu, how about it, not bad, right?"
Lin Zhiye was not polite at all, he reached out and put his hand on Nie Tianming's back and pushed him out.
Nie Tianming was like a peacock in captivity in a zoo, being looked at from top to bottom and from head to foot by five or six people in front of him.
"This young man is really good, this one has to be one meter seven or eight, right?"
"Proper 1.8 meters, what a handsome young man. ”
Nie Tianming felt a burst of joy in his heart, it seemed that he had not embarrassed Lin Guyu, otherwise this group of people would definitely say behind her back that she had found an ugly monster.
"Are you going down to the field? Now that the work in the field is basically over, what are you going to do in the field?"
"Gu Yu has been busy for a whole year, and now the field is still a little unclean, and now my health is better, and I must finish all the work." ”
"You don't feel sorry for your uncle, you can't bear to let him go down with him?"
After Lin Zhiye heard this, he laughed and said: "If you want to marry my daughter, you must test it, whether you can do the work in the field beautifully, this is a threshold." ”
Fugui hurried forward and said, "I have done a good job in the field, why don't you marry your daughter to me?"
Before Lin Zhiye could make a move, several women who were watching the excitement on the side immediately stretched out their feet and kicked Fugui.
"You are thirty or forty years old, how can you say that China is here, how can you put a flower on cow dung. ”
"Cow dung is more nutritious~"
Fugui was obviously joking, too, and without waiting for the kick to be on his body, he sneered and ran away, making faces at several women.
Regarding Fugui's ridicule of Lin Guyu, Nie Tianming didn't take it to heart.
In every village, there will be clowns who want to be rich, and this kind of people can't make any waves at all, and everyone looks at them like they want to see a joke, and they don't need to be angry at all.
After Lin Zhiye recovered, he was in a good mood, and after chatting with a few people for a while, he remembered the goal of working in the field under Nie Tianming's reminder.
Before leaving, Nie Tianming said goodbye to everyone with a smile very politely, striving to leave a good impression on everyone.
This is not only about himself, after all, he has only lived in Houzhaogou Village for a few days, but more importantly, he has a long face for Lin Zhiye, so that everyone will praise him for finding a good partner for his daughter.
On the way to the field, Lin Zhiye said to Nie Tianming: "You heard what they said just now, I hope you will be good to Gu Yu in the future." ”
"Uncle, just rest assured, even if you don't say it, I will definitely be good to Xiaoyu. ”
For some reason, Lin Zhiye paused a little and continued: "I am grateful to you for helping me heal my leg injury, but this is not the key to my consent to this family business. ”
Lin Zhiye suddenly became serious, he said to Nie Tianming seriously, while taking out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it in his mouth.
He stretched out his hand and handed the cigarette to Nie Tianming, who waved his hand and did not answer.
"You can smoke it, I won't. ”
"It's really rare for young people who don't smoke nowadays. ”
After a few polite words, Lin Zhiye continued: "Gu Yu, a child, has been obedient since he was a child, and although he has not enjoyed any blessings since he was a child, he has not been wronged. I've always respected her ideas.
Yesterday in front of the bed, including today at the dinner table, she looked at you very specially, and there was a tenderness in it, which made me, a father, very jealous.
Two people are together, it is very important to love each other, she can meet you, you can meet her, this is God's fate, I am very lucky.
If you don't get along happily in the future, you can divide it if you want, but if you bully Gu Yu, don't blame me for not thinking about your kindness in curing my leg injury, even if I work hard, I will fight for my daughter!"
Being able to say these words to himself, Nie Tianming knew that he was completely admitted by Lin Zhiye.
Nie Tianming also kept his words firmly in his heart, he stopped, and said solemnly to Lin Zhiye:
"Don't worry, if one day I let Xiaoyu be wronged, this leg of mine will be left in Houzhaogou for you!"
Nie Tianming slapped his thigh, and there was a sonorous sound.
