Volume 1 Rise 53 sky-high bride price
"What about Ah Fan, why did he leave?" Wu Shufen glanced around, and just now saw Wu Fan there, but in a blink of an eye, there was no one, and she was a little disappointed.
"Shufen, Fan Zai has just eaten enough, maybe he went outside to walk around, sit down, drink tea and eat some candy. Wu Sanye refilled the fruit bowl and greeted Wu Shufen and the girl she brought.
This girl is delicate, with a beautiful face, fair skin, full breasts, a slender waist, and a little melancholy between her eyebrows. She is wearing a short-sleeved floral shirt and a sky blue pleated skirt, which is quite the style of a goddess of the Republic of China, with a quiet temperament, which is very suitable for the eyes of Wu Sanye.
"This is obviously not a girl from the village!" Hu Yuling saw her appearance, compared with herself, and was suspicious.
"Xiaoice, this is Third Master Wu, Wu Fan's grandfather. Wu Shufen introduced the little girl she brought.
"Grandpa, hello. The girl named Xiaoice was polite and got up and bowed to Third Master Wu.
"Shengwen, third master, she is from Lao Guo Village, her family moved to the county seat more than ten years ago, and graduated from junior college last year. Ah Fan hasn't married yet, Lao Guo asked me to take her to introduce her. Wu Shufen said enthusiastically.
"Director Hu, you're welcome, you can also come over for tea. The second aunt sat down at the table and greeted Hu Yuling.
"It's really polite, but it's good to have a free day and a chat. Hu Yuling originally wanted to go over, and when someone greeted her, she was not welcome, and came over and sat opposite Guo Xiaoice.
"Datong, go find Ah Fan and come back. ”
The second aunt called, and Datong answered and went out.
Wu Fan sat on the Daben at the gate of the school, turned on the air conditioner, and was closing his eyes to recuperate while reading the cultivation knowledge provided by the Fengyue Baojian. Datong came to the square, and when he didn't see Wu Fan, he dialed his phone. Wu Fan heard the mobile phone ringing, and saw Datong calling not far away, so he canceled the connection, opened the door and got out of the car.
Datong turned his head and said, "There are guests, you don't entertain, what do you look like?!"
"What's there to entertain, it's a blind date, I said that I already have a girlfriend, besides, I'm also an undergraduate, the woman's skin is thick and thick, which is more suitable for your taste. ”
Wu Fan didn't care, locked the car but didn't plan to go back.
"This time, it's not, fine skin and tender meat, really, if you don't go, I'll ask my aunt to introduce it to me, do you want to go?" Datong pushed Wu Fan Dao.
"I want the fine skin and tender meat, and if I don't go, I won't go. Wu Fan pushed away Datong's hand with a resolute expression.
"Ah Fan, you have made a fortune, and coming back this time is different from before. It's true that my aunt didn't get close to your family before, but this time I looked at the gift she brought to grandpa, two boxes of ginseng are expensive, you have to go and say hello, right?" Datong continued to persuade.
"Did her family send ginseng to Grandpa?" Wu Fan stopped and asked suspiciously, seeing Datong nodding, Wu Fan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Let's go, let's go back and sit down for a while." ”
In the small courtyard, Wu Shufen was snorting melon seeds, chatting with the second aunt, Guo Xiaoice held the tea cup in both hands, and was stunned, Hu Yuling glanced at Guo Xiaoice from time to time, and the two did not talk.
Seeing Wu Fan coming back, Wu Shufen quickly got up, and Guo Xiaoice saw this and stood up busily.
"Ah Fan, come and sit down, you are a big man, so you dislike your aunt. Wu Shufen's words made Wu Fan quite useless, but for the sake of politeness, he still sat down on Guo Xiaoice's side, and Datong went to add hot water.
Wu Fan looked at Guo Xiaoice attentively, only to know that what Datong said was not bad, it was really fine skin and tender meat, and it was water and spirit, and a pair of eyes were clear and flexible. She frowned slightly, revealing a faint melancholy, as if she had a lot on her mind.
When Guo Xiaoice raised her head and looked at Wu Fan, her eyes happened to meet, and she saw Wu Fan's eyes showing concern.
Some people say that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and from the eyes of the other person, you can know the character of the other person.
Guo Xiaoice saw Wu Fan's clear and calm eyes, which warmed her heart, and a hot current was born in her heart.
"Her name is Guo Xiaoice, A Fan, he is two years younger than you, graduated from junior college last year, and is still unemployed. Xiaoice's family used to be in the same village as your aunt, and now its home is in the area of the wild boar pond in the county seat. If you talk about it more, there will definitely be a lot to say. Wu Shufen smiled and looked at Wu Fan expectantly.
"Where is the area of the wild boar pond?" Wu Fan asked suspiciously, he remembered that Zhong Kai's family, a dead friend of middle school, was also in the wild boar pond.
"Near the bus station, you went to high school in the city, you should know. Wu Shufen said.
"Fan Zai, Xiaoice is a good girl, don't miss it, I just don't know how much dowry she wants at home, my mother's nephew begging for a wife, I heard that the junior college student who also begged for it, the dowry alone costs 180,000." Wu Fan's second aunt is dark and thin, and her son Datong is also facing a major marriage event, and the new building has been built, but the bride price money has not yet been settled, so she said.
When Wu Shufen heard this, she hurriedly said: "Ah Fan has made a great career in Gwangju, where can I worry about the bride price, the most important thing to get married is a family and a beautiful one." I see, Xiaoice's family should not care about the bride price, and if it is suitable, it will be licensed to set up wine. Third master, do you think that's the truth?"
As a woman's matchmaker, Wu Shufen actually persuaded the woman not to pay a bride price, this is really the sun coming out of the west.
When everyone heard Wu Shufen's proposal, they were all surprised for a while, and they looked at Wu Shufen with their eyes, they didn't expect that she was reasonable and had seen the world in the city, and her idea was trendy and kept up with the times. What the second aunt Datong and Hu Yuling thought of was that after all, it was Aunt Tang who came, and their hearts were still towards Wu Fan.
However, Wu Fan knew that he saved Fan Dong's family on the way, and when he arrived at his aunt's house, he realized that her family's business depended on Fan Dong's group company, and she was currying favor with herself.
Wu Fan was about to speak, indicating his attitude, he had no intention of going on a blind date, because he already had a girlfriend, but Guo Xiaoice opened his mouth first.
"No, my family must have a bride price!" Guo Xiaoice said, his face flushed and he bit his lip.
Hu Yuling was funny in her heart, she looked at Guo Xiaoice, and then at Wu Shufen, wondering if they went on a blind date together, without communicating in advance?
"Let's talk about the number, my nephew's wife's family, the family conditions are good, so I only want 180,000, and the number your family wants can't be too outrageous. The second aunt said.
"Five hundred thousand. ”
After Guo Xiaoice came out of his mouth with an astonishing number, he immediately bit his lip again and lowered his head.
"500,000? I can marry two or three wives. Datong, who was standing at the table, heard it and said in a cold tone.
"Oh, Xiaoice said and laughed, he didn't come to go on a blind date with my family. The second aunt said with a smile on her face.
"Xiaoice, your mother didn't tell me that, you, you。。。。。。 Wu Shufen looked puzzled, looked at Guo Xiaoice, and thought she was laughing.
When Hu Yuling heard this, she looked at everyone's expressions, a smile appeared on her face, and her eyes finally fell on Wu Fan's face, which contained a hint of ridicule.
Huang Shuigen heard the sound and asked Datong what the situation was, Datong pulled him aside and said it again, Huang Shuigen shook his head and laughed.
Wu Sanye didn't say a word, stood up, and was about to leave the table, Wu Shufen hurriedly supported him, saying how could Sanye go.
"The sheep haven't been fed yet, I'm going to get some grass. Wu Sanye ignored Wu Shufen's dissuasion, and insisted on leaving, Wu Shufen looked at him in a daze and left.
Wu Fan's face did not have a shocked expression, still with an open-minded and indifferent look, he looked at Guo Xiaoice. Guo Xiaoice felt Wu Fan's gaze and raised his head to meet his eyes.
She had a feeling of love at first sight for Wu Fan, but Wu Fan didn't, she just thought in her heart that this girl must have her reasons for offering a sky-high bride price, but this is not something she should care about. No matter what, I won't intersect with her, and when she and her aunt are gone, everything will return to dust, and everything will return to dust, and each will have its own destiny.
Guo Xiaoice lowered her head, still silent, Wu Shufen asked her a few times, to think clearly, she still pursed her mouth, blushed, just stopped talking.
"I'm going to see the vegetable patch, and you have a little more tea. The second aunt got up and left the table, Wu Shufen kept saying to sit for a while, but the second aunt still left.
"Xiaoice, let's go, I'll go find my nephew Ah Hao, he drove us to the county seat." ”
Wu Shufen was helpless, stood up and went to pull Guo Xiaoice, Wu Fan and Datong Huang Shuigen knew that they were going to disperse, and walked out of the small courtyard. Hu Yuling watched enough of the play and wanted to talk to Wu Fan, but saw that Wu Fan and the three of them had already walked briskly in the direction of the school, so she hurriedly caught up.
"I'm not leaving, Aunt Shufen, you can go back first, thank you for your hard work in bringing me here." ”
Guo Xiaoice's words made Wu Shufen stunned, and asked her what the reason was and why she stayed, but Guo Xiaoice was silent.
After persuading for a long time, Guo Xiaoice refused to change her mind, and Wu Shufen was helpless, and after saying goodbye to Wu Sanye, she left in a huff.
At the gate of the school, Hu Yuling touched everywhere and admired Wu Fan's luxurious Daben, she had a lot to say to Wu Fan, such as life, ideals and other topics, but Wu Fan didn't seem to be interested, but talked nonsense with Huang Shuigen.
It was noon, the sun was hot, Huang Shuigen proposed to go down to the river to fish, and Datong responded enthusiastically. The river in front of Sheephorn Ridge, because there is no industrial pollution, the river water is clear, swimming in the river, one can relieve the heat, and the other is if you can touch a few crucian carp, it is also good to make a fish soup for lunch.
Lunch in the countryside, most of them are late until two or three o'clock in the afternoon, there is Huang Shuigen, Wu Fan does not need to cook, it is the most trouble-free.
Wu Fan leaned on the body of Daben and said that it was good to go down to the river to fish, so Huang Shuigen followed Datong to his house to get a net bag and a bucket.
"Brother Fan, don't you want to talk to me?" asked Hu Yuling faintly.
"No, aren't you still serving in the village committee? Why are you so idle today?" Wu Fan asked casually.
"I have already told Huang Laogou that I will not go to work in the village committee in the future, but go to Gwangju to work. Hu Yuling's expression was a little gloomy, it is always difficult for a person to leave the environment that he has become accustomed to.
"You have to think clearly, Gwangju is very hard, it's far from home, and your parents are worried. Wu Fan said.
"I've thought about it, with Brother Afan, there must be a job that suits me. Hu Yuling smiled slightly, revealing a row of teeth, and her tone was soft and ambiguous.
"I'm also looking for ways to make money everywhere, it's useless to follow me, if you go to the factory, I guess you can't stand it, it's good to stay in Baihe, at least with the care of your parents. Wu Fan glanced at Hu Yuling's chest, thinking that it was the place where Huang Lao Dog had ravaged wantonly, and couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach.
Even, Wu Fan didn't have the slightest idea of turning on the perspective function and appreciating Hu Yuling.
At this time, Huang Shuigen and Datong both came back, taking a net bag, a bucket, and a dragnet.
Wu Fan, who has been in the city for a long time, has not experienced the joy of fishing in the countryside for a long time, and is full of interest, so he took the net from Huang Shuigen's shoulder and went to the river together. Hu Yuling followed, she didn't go down to the river, but just planned to watch the excitement on the shore.
The river water was cool, and after swimming for a while, Wu Fan and the three of them began to fish, harvesting five or six large crucian carp, and the small ones were all released.
More than an hour passed, Wu Fan was worried that Grandpa would mistakenly think that no one was cooking, so he beckoned Huang Shuigen Datong to come ashore, carry a bucket, and go home.
As soon as Wu Fan entered the courtyard, he was stunned by the scene he saw. The yard was cleaned up, and Guo Xiaoice was busy inside and out, washing vegetables and cutting vegetables.
Shaking the well, Guo Xiaoice had already washed half a basket of vegetables, she looked at Wu Fan, but did not say hello, continued to bow her head to wash vegetables. Wu Sanye sat on a bamboo chair, smoking a hookah, and was content.
Grandpa hadn't touched a hookah for many years, which surprised Wu Fan again.
Huang Shuigen and Datong also saw this scene, and they were full of questions. Hu Yuling had a bad premonition in her heart, she looked at Guo Xiaoice suspiciously, wanted to ask, but finally held back, just looked at Wu Fan.
Wu Fan put down the dragnet, and Huang Shuigen carried the bucket to the side of the shaking well to change the water for the crucian carp.
The shorts were wet, and Wu Fan wanted to change them, but was pulled out of the yard by Hu Yuling.
"You like Guo Xiaoice, don't you?" Hu Yuling's tone carried a hint of panic.
"No, where is such a thing, I still want to ask her, why don't you leave. Wu Fan responded.
"Don't lie to me, look at the way she looks at you, how gentle she is! I just want to ask you, do you look down on me?" Hu Yuling suddenly said this kind of thing, which made Wu Fan inexplicable.
"Where is there anything to look down on, you can't help it, Huang Lao Dog is so sexy, you live on the same floor at night, he bullied you, and you were also forced. In Wu Fan's mind, the picture of Hu Yuling being pressed under Huang Zhishu came to mind, and she blurted out.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Hu Yuling responded happily and turned away.
