XXXIV. Manqing chases ducks
The days were smooth, and a month passed in a blink of an eye. During this period, Zhang Ye came to the Gui family again and saw the senior two of high school, but the senior of high school was by the river for half a month, and he was not a permanent resident of the Gui family.
Although he only came once, but now Man Qing is annoyed when he hears the name "Boss Zhang", because Osmanthus doesn't know which tendon is wrong, and thinks that the bear is invincible in the world. - If Aunt Gui heard it at home, she would have to pinch her ears, who else could she tell if she didn't tell Manqing?
Man Qing looked at the osmanthus that was still muttering, sighed in her heart, and decided to go out to clean her ears, "Your leaf has improved a lot, work harder, finish embroidering this little grass today, and your mother won't scold you at night!"
"Hey, I haven't finished yet, where are you going?"
"Feed the chickens and ducks!"
Over the past month or so, under the careful feeding of Man Qing, the chickens and ducklings have grown up a lot as if they had been blown out. Especially the ducks, now the small pond in the backyard can no longer satisfy them, so in the past few days, Manqing listened to Aunt Gui's opinion, drove the ducks into the river, and drove them back in the evening.
Fortunately, Gao's house is close to the river, and there are no other people except a big road to the river, so those who rush to and from here will not get in the way of other people's homes.
In fact, Manqing also couldn't stand the fact that more than a dozen ducks were running around the yard, chasing and. Ducks eat a lot and grow quickly, and they don't understand human language at all, so they often see duck droppings all over the yard - Gao Lao has been short-tempered recently, and he scolds people in the yard at every turn, and it is estimated that he often steps on those things. Man Qing once dried his clothes, but he didn't pay attention to the wind, and when he picked it up, well, a flock of ducks had passed on it, and there was evidence of the crime......
At this time, the crops in the field have also grown, and they are no longer tender and tender buds for fear of being pecked by chickens, because Man Qing also consulted Aunt Gui, and asked Uncle Gao Qi, who is very good at doing rice work, to make a chicken coop, preparing to move the chickens out in the next two days.
The cabbage in the backyard is already tall, just enough to pluck off the old leaves at the edge and chop them up for chickens and ducks to eat. The food at home is limited, and people are reluctant, so they are naturally reluctant to give chickens and ducks to eat. These vegetables don't cost money anyway, and they grow well, so Man Qingke can feed them vigorously.
After feeding the chickens and going to the river to feed the ducks, Manqing slowly walked home. When she walked to the side of the road, she couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, thinking that if Osmanthus knew that she had seen that bear-like Boss Zhang more than ten times, and had seen him on this road a few times recently, would she scream with jealousy?
She didn't know what was going on with the bear, but she had been passing by twice when she had come to catch ducks in the evening. He was all on horseback, and when he passed by, he seemed to be surprised to see her, and then he would quickly dismount and say hello, "Miss Gao, are you here too?"
Man Qing really didn't know what to say to him, thinking that you didn't see me here, and besides, this is near my house, what is strange about me here, so he nodded, and then continued to bow his head to chase his duck. The second time, he changed his words, "Miss Gao, you're still busy."
Man Qing didn't even want to click her head this time, isn't this more nonsense, didn't you see that she was struggling to shout at the ducks who were still playing and didn't want to go home?
Probably Boss Zhang also saw that he was embarrassed to ask, so he didn't wait for Manqing to answer, and got on the horse and left.
Zhang Ye had actually scolded himself thousands of times in his heart at that moment! How could he be so stupid, how could he not even say a word to the girl's family! Look at what he asked, people are not easy to answer...... It's a pity that Miss Gao is chasing ducks instead of carrying food like last time, so he can go directly to the front, take it with one hand and go forward.
Because he didn't chase the ducks, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch the ducks, and Miss Gao would dislike him even more.
Yes, he saw from Miss Gao's eyes that he was nakedly disgusted and had nothing to do with himself. Hey, it's really none of his business, he's a little careful thinking that he doesn't even understand very well, but that's just that little bit of careful thinking, a beautiful and poor woman who doesn't want to look at it twice, but if the other party really dislikes it, then that's it, he hasn't done such a thing for many years.
Man Qing didn't know that because of his own ignorance, he almost extinguished the little flame in Zhang Ye's heart. If it weren't for those things that happened later, it is estimated that it would not be easy for the two to intersect in the future.
Because the last weeding before the summer harvest was going to be carried out in the past two days, the Gui family said that in the evening, Gao Siliang would come back from the river. According to the previous practice, he would come to Gui's house to say hello on the day he returned, and then go back to his own house to live. But when he was working, he ate and lived in Gui's house, and when he was done, he would go to the river. Because of him, the living Gui family in the field did not let Manqing get touched at all, let her take the osmanthus embroidery with peace of mind, and then exchange the embroidery for food, just control herself and Gao Lao to eat.
In the evening, Man Qing hurriedly put down the embroidery and went out to catch the ducks. Osmanthus knew that Gao Siliang would come today, and she didn't want to see him, so she followed behind Man Qing slowly.
"What are you doing with me, I'm going to the river to catch ducks, and your ducks aren't in the river—"
Osmanthus shook a dog's tail grass, "Hey, you said that I asked my mother to drive the ducks into the river, okay?" You said that I have nothing to do anyway, I come with you every morning and evening to catch the ducks, and I have a companion!"
Man Qing didn't bother to pay attention to her stubble. The Gui family also has a pond, which is larger than the Gao family. There were no rockeries in the pond, and they were used to feed the ducks, so there was no need to drive the ducks into the river - the reason in this village was that the ducks were driven into the river by those who had children or idle laborers, and a big girl like Manqing even shouted a flock of ducks to walk around the village in the morning and evening. Osmanthus Niang is thinking about finding her in-laws for Osmanthus, and she definitely won't want her daughter to be like a few years old doll, walking behind the duck's butt sooner or later.
"Hey, did you hear me? I said that you have something on your mind lately, you are always in a daze, sometimes you have to say it several times to talk to you before you can hear it-Xiao Nizi has something on her mind? Hehe, come and tell my sister, my sister will help you with the staff officer?!"
Man Qing turned around and gave her a roll of the eyes, thinking to herself who is her sister!
Although Osmanthus is one year older than Man Qing, this girl has been hurt since she was a child, and she has no heart and lungs, so she has grown taller. Especially in the past few months, Manqing has experienced it, and he feels more and more that he is an adult and Osmanthus is a big girl.
"I don't object to you following, your mother scolds you for a while, don't say that I asked you to help!"
"Hmph, stingy ghost! just tell me what's the matter, my mother won't talk about you anyway!"
"Hey, who's that, isn't that a senior high?, why did he come this way?"
Osmanthus said, "I still have something left at your house, I'll go get it now!"
Man Qing was funny, bowed her head and didn't speak, and didn't look at the oncoming senior two, and drove her duck.
