Chapter Sixty-Eight: Secret Love

In February and March, the farm work was not busy, the farm work outside the Wang family was done by the grandfather and son, and the housework in the house was taken care of by Wang Huilan's mother. Wang Huilan fell into the empty space, and she was at ease to be a young lady in the room. Tea and meals were brought into the house by her mother.

What the hell is she doing in the room, can she sit still without doing something in the room? Yan Yongnong wanted to know.

He took the opportunity to put his ear to the door of Wang Huilan's room to listen, but he could not hear any sound, and he stood on tiptoe and looked through the window, and could only see the floor of the roof inside.

One day, he glanced through the crack in the door while Huilan's mother was delivering food, and it turned out that she was embroidering inside.

According to her mother, Huilan was a lively and active girl when she was a child, and she married and made friends.

In the semester when she was in her second year of junior high school, she studied for about a month, and suddenly ran home, and cried with the door closed.

Her mother took such a baby daughter very seriously, and when she saw her crying, she hurriedly went in and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

And asked, "Did the teacher scratch you?"

He asked, "Did you have a with your classmates?" or not.

Her mother was angry: "If you have something, you can talk about it, you only know how to cry, can you cry?"

"You are the ones who have spoiled me. Wang Huilan said.

"Don't have a conscience, we worked hard to give birth to you, raise you, love you wholeheartedly, raise you as a porcelain doll, and say that we gave birth to you. Where are we going to be bad?" said Huilan's mother.

"I heard the girls in the class say behind my back that I have a fox smell, and people will vomit when they smell it. They also said that the fox smell was contagious, and they treated me like a leper, and they didn't sit at the same table with me, and they didn't sleep with me. When I saw it, I covered my nose and ran away. Wang Huilan cried and said.

"That's not a bad disease, little one. When people are old, there is a heavy smell of sweat in their armpits, and fox odor is not contagious. There are many people who have it, and I heard that it can be cured. Mother said.

They went to the hospital, where the doctor said they were going to remove the sweat glands in the armpits.

It's just that Huilan is still young and in the middle of development, if you cut the sweat glands now, I'm afraid it will regenerate, and you can't get rid of the roots until you are eighteen years old.

Wang Huilan never goes to study anymore, nor does she go out to socialize with others, saying that she doesn't give it to others.

Just last year, she cured the disease, but it did not cure her inferiority complex, she developed the habit of being alone, and hid when she saw the living.

She only has one hobby, which is needlework, picking flowers and embroidering, threading needles, knitting sweaters, and collecting shoe soles is her livelihood.

She was born to be good at this work, she didn't want to go to the teacher, she had to look at the model and do the same.

Huilan's mother also took out her daughter's handicrafts: the mandarin duck water pillowcase embroidered for her brother's wedding, the quilt of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, and the flower scarf and flower hand towel embroidered for the future sister-in-law, which are really colorful and original.

Wang Huilan's beauty and intelligence deeply attracted Yan Yongnong, and he wanted to get close to her but suffered from her seclusion.

Once, when her family was not at home, he moved a high stool to cushion his feet, put his face against the window and looked in, and saw that Huilan was immersed in embroidery, and couldn't help but play with a thin bird, his tongue rolled into a groove, and a mouthful of saliva "whoosh" shot on the lotus stamens she embroidered.

She was really taken aback by the water flying from outside the sky, and followed the laughter of "poof", and saw a strange face embedded in the window.

Her eyes widened with rage, and the anger in her whole body gathered into her mouth, and she took a big gulp of saliva and climbed onto the table under the window and sprayed wildly at the face.

Yan Yongnong didn't expect her to fight back against him in this way, what he was going to do was to catch her with his pocket and scold her! This girl was extraordinary, which made Yan Yongnong a little overwhelmed.

He ignored the drool running down the bridge of his nose, letting it flow into his mouth, inadvertently sticking out his tongue and licking it.

Yan Yongnong didn't dare to be bold and reckless after he was bored, and he thought about it wildly, but then he noticed that Wang Huilan walked out of the door more often, and sometimes passed by the place where he was working.

She passed lightly, as light as a leaf, and quickly, as fast as a gust of wind. Yan Yongnong's sixth sense told him that there was always a pair of big bright eyes watching him around him.

In April and May, the work of farming and harvesting came out, and Huilan's mother was going out to help, and Xiulan was handed over to Xiulan to cook tea and rice, and serve craftsmen.

From then on, she had to go out of the embroidery room to enter and exit the court, but she still did not go out of the door, she only cooked the rice from the firewood to the corner of the stove door and the water to the tank.

This provided Yan Yongnong with an opportunity to get close to Huilan, and he used the excuse of drinking water to sit in the kitchen for a while; as soon as his whim came, he would stop his work and move some shavings to the corner of the stove; and suddenly remembered to carry water to the tank.

At first, Huilan could avoid and hide, because Yan Yongnong came in and out frequently, she didn't have so many things to hide, and slowly she didn't avoid it and answered his words with a red face.

Yan Yongnong is a person who goes abroad, he has seen a lot of the world, he has a wide range of people, and he has developed a mouth that he could speak in his previous life.

"Have you ever embroidered a lotus flower?" Yan Yongnong suddenly said as Huilan passed by.

"No, why did you suddenly ask about Lotus?" Wang Huilan asked with a red face.

"That day I saw you embroidered like a lotus flower. ”

"Well, the first time I embroidered. ”

"In our worship of the lotus flower as a symbol of love, have you ever heard of the 'double lotus'?" Yan Yongnong asked again.

"I heard a little, and I heard that it was about a woman who corrupted the door, and she sang a song to people. Huilan's face turned even redder.

"I don't think so. I have watched that story several times, and it is about the anti-feudal love tragedy of Hu Daoxian and Zheng Xiuying. This is a pair of young men and women worthy of praise, and their love moves the heavens and the earth to cry ghosts and gods. ”

"I borrowed it during the Spring Festival last year and spent four days copying it. Among them, I can sing ten thoughts, ten hopes, ten sends, and ten sighs. Yan Yongnong said.

"Where do you put your manuscript?" Wang Huilan showed interest.

"Of course, it's at home, but it's actually in my heart. If you want to listen, just take a stool and sit here and listen to me tell you in detail, okay?" Yan Yongnong said.

Wang Huilan told him to move, moved a chair, and moved the needlework and embroidery.

From that day on, her embroidery room was changed to Yan Yongnong's carpentry room.

On the first day, Yan Yongnong talked about Hu Daoxian and Zheng Xiuying's acquaintance and love to private life.

It's roughly like this: the merry man Hu Dao first went to Zhengjiawan to fish, and met a beautiful Jiaolian Zheng Xiuying, and the two fell in love at first sight and made a private lifelong decision. Zheng Xiuying took out a foot of silk silk to draw a lotus flower and then cut it open, each took half of it as a handle, and agreed to meet again next year when the osmanthus blooms.

When Wang Huilan was fascinated, she suddenly heard Yan Yongnong say: "Today is the end of the day, we have to wait until tomorrow." It's time to cook, and the people who work outside are coming back to eat. ”

The next day, Yan Yongnong said that after the two separated, Hu Dao first used "Ten Thoughts", and Zheng Xiuying used "Ten Hopes" to express the unforgettable feelings of missing each other in a year.

On the third day, Zheng Xiuying was determined to repent of the marriage of the Xia family and bravely be with Hu Daoxian, but this matter was strongly opposed by her mother, and Zheng Xiuying persuaded her mother to leave Hu Daoxian. talked about the lingering love between the two from the first watch to the fifth watch and one night.

On the fourth day, he said that their behavior was regarded as immoral by the tribesmen, and the tribe should correct the family law against them. Zheng Xiuying had no choice but to send Hu Daoxian away in the middle of the night, describing their inseparable feelings of "ten sends" and parting.

On the fifth day, the Xia family withdrew from the marriage, and the clansmen sold Zheng Xiuying to the Liu family. When she arrived at Liu's house, Zheng Xiuying did not talk to her husband at the same meal, and did not undress in the same bed. After being beaten and tortured by her husband, Zheng Xiuying would rather die than give in.

On the sixth day, the Liu family was going to sell Zheng Xiuying again, but he didn't sell it to the Hu family. Hu Dao knew about it first, and asked his friend Ding Shiyuan to marry Zheng Xiuying on a fake basis, but the Liu family saw through it and snatched Zheng Xiuying back.

On the seventh day, Wang Huilan's affairs outside the house were busy, and her mother stopped going out.

Wang Huilan had to go back to the embroidery room, and at this time, the people who could keep her in the embroidery room couldn't hold her heart. She opened the window and stood on tiptoe to look at Yan Yongnong, and when her mother went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables or go out to do laundry, she said outside, "What happened?"

Later, Zheng Xiuying was suspended. The Liu family sued Hu Dao first and died in prison. Yan Yongnong ended hastily.

Yan Yongnong heard a sobbing sound in the room, and walked to the window to see that Wang Huilan was lying on the bed crying.

"Hey, what are you sad about the ancients?" Yan Yongnong asked.

"What a good man, talented and beautiful couple, how can it not make people sad if they die unjustly?" will come and sob.

"Rest assured, that time is gone. Now is a new era, pay attention to marital autonomy, and there will never be such a tragedy again. As long as you have the person you like, you can boldly pursue it. Yan Yongnong interrupted the topic because he saw Huilan's mother returning.

Because Wang Huilan's mother stays at home all day and night, it is difficult for them to communicate. So Yan Yongnong sang the "Ten Thoughts" in [Shuanghe Lotus] while working, and Wang Huilan in the room put down the embroidery in her hand and stood on tiptoe from the window to "look at it".

One day, when Wang Huilan quickly passed by Yan Yongnong, he handed him a handkerchief, which was embroidered with a lotus canopy.
