Manqing closed the door and continued to make unfinished handkerchiefs and purses. She had to make the remaining three to-day, and sell them in the town tomorrow - preferably by the evening, because there would be no rice in the bowl.

As soon as I finished embroidering a handkerchief, the courtyard door suddenly rang again. Man Qing raised his neck and looked at the study of Gao Lao on the opposite side of the bamboo bush, and saw that there was no movement in it, so he still stood up resignedly and walked to the front yard.

I hope it's not the aunts and aunts who came to comfort her because of what happened last night, she is really busy right now and doesn't have time to spend with them.

The courtyard door rang only three times, and the people outside seemed to be very patient, waiting for her to knock on the door. Manqing's pace also slowed down, she guessed that it was definitely not the aunts and aunts in the village who came, they would shout and scream, for fear that others would not know that they were coming.

The courtyard door opened, and it was still the bear who had just asked for directions. Man Qing frowned slightly, looking at him puzzled.

Zhang Ye looked at Man Qing with some embarrassment, hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth and said, "I just went to see four taels." He- he told me to stop by and say sorry to you. That, he, he said he didn't mean anything-" Speaking of this, he seemed to be unable to say any more, reached out and touched his nose, his eyes turned to the side, and after a pause, he raised his voice again, "Miss Gao, if you need anything, I can also compensate you on behalf of Siliang." ”

As soon as he left Gao's house, he asked a middle-aged man, and this question made him a little embarrassed: it turned out that one of his favored subordinates had done such a humiliating thing last night - he had a rare rest today, and he had heard Gao Siliang always talk about how to catch rabbits in the mountains, so he was also a little curious, so he made an appointment to go to the mountains together today. didn't want to go to the Gao family, there was no one in the shadow, so he casually asked a cowherd baby on the road. The cowherd baby is also a narrow one, and he doesn't know the severity, so he pointed people straight to the old man's house.

Zhang Ye thought that he had already arrived in this village, so he still went to take a look at the senior two no matter what. Moreover, he vaguely felt in his heart that Gao Siliang was not that kind of bad embryo, and he would still believe that Liu Datou had done this kind of wall-climbing thing. But who hasn't done anything out of the ordinary when they were young, especially when there is a really bad embryo like Liu Datou around him......

He also climbed over the wall back then, but he wasn't caught. But that kind of experience is enough once in this life, and he still doesn't want to recall the disgusting scene he saw that time to this day.

After seeing the senior two in high school, before he could speak, Liu Datou pounced on the boss and called out, saying how wronged he was, hoping that the boss could help him go out as much as possible. He didn't bother to listen to his noise, so he called Gao Siliang, who had been keeping his head down, over and asked him to talk.

The senior in front of him was so haggard that he was frightened. The young man, who was not yet eighteen years old, was as thin as a monkey when he first saw him, and after ten days of his stay, he was at last a little stronger, and his face was a little brighter, but he had not seen him for one night, and he was even more gloomy than the first time he saw him. Seeing him like that, Zhang Ye couldn't say anything about reproach, and finally asked what he needed to do.

Gao Siliang first shook his head, and then said: "I don't have anything, I deserve it." It's Miss Gao's - boss, if it's convenient for you, go and help me say I'm sorry. I--when I came out-" Gao Siliang couldn't say any more, and lowered his head deeply.

Zhang Ye knew what he wanted to say. He wanted to say that he was willing to let the Gao family beat and scold and punish him, and he was willing to do a qiē to atone for his sins, but he directly offended the girl of the Gui family, and the girl of the Gao family would not accept this love, and he was afraid that he would not look down on his atonement at all.

After looking at the table of the senior two, Zhang Ye was not angry, but was relieved a lot. This kid is really ashamed and brave. He is transforming, he is transforming, as long as this period of time is passed, and then it is carved, this is a new child, and he will be a useful person.

When he was a teenager, he had a lot of help from people, so he became the person he is today, because although he didn't say it on the face, whenever he had the opportunity, he was also willing to help the children who were similar to his past.

So, who has never been nosy, he agreed to the request of the senior two.

When he turned to leave, Liu Datou was still calling, hoping that he could help, but Gao Siliang didn't say a word - Gao Siliang didn't even ask if he could continue to work in his shed, he just hoped that he could help him say sorry to Miss Gao, he regarded Miss Gao more seriously than himself.

Zhang Ye walked out of the ancestral hall, turned around and looked behind him, and walked towards the Gao family with a somewhat complicated mood.

When he was sixteen or seventeen years old, there was also such a good-looking girl. At that time, of course, she could not see him, and he had wandered and been sad, and finally followed the girl's marriage procession—that was only four or five years ago, and he suddenly had the illusion of a different world.

So after helping Gao Siliang finish saying sorry words, the ghost sent the gods to the ground, and he added that sentence again.

He knew that the Gao family was very poor, and it was not easy for this little girl to support the family, he was not short of money now, if he could, he was willing to help her, and also help Gao Siliang.

Man Qing's brows tightened: What is the situation? A strange man came to her door and began to apologize to yesterday's disciple, and then asked her if she needed help? There are more places where she needs help, the rice tank is out of rice, the water tank is out of water, and the firewood room is out of firewood...... But can this be mentioned to a strange man?

"No need, thank you, do you have anything else?"

Zhang Ye was really embarrassed this time, he touched his nose again, glanced at the little girl in front of him seriously, nodded slightly, turned around and led the horse away.

Comely. This is Zhang Ye's first impression. Just like the small willow by the river in early spring, it is soft and tough, delicate and lovely, but it has yet to grow. After all, she is the daughter of a Xiucai family, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are not as ignorant and cheesy as ordinary country girls, but with the wisdom and vigilance of a little fox......

It's also a poor child.

Man Qing didn't take this person to heart, but closed the courtyard door and went back to continue embroidering her handkerchief and purse. In the evening, Man Qing let out a long breath, stretched his sore neck, looked at the five handkerchiefs and four purses that had been embroidered in the basket with satisfaction, and couldn't help but show a heartfelt smile on the corner of his mouth.

The next ten days of rice were gone.

She looked out the window, it was probably more than an hour before it got dark, and if she walked faster, it would be enough to make a trip back and forth in town. She packed up her things neatly, then changed into a blue and black dress, first tied her hair tightly with a white cloth, then wrapped a black turban, and then brought a handkerchief purse, and a rice bag to buy rice for a while, and went outside.

When the Chai family was in good health, she was never allowed to go to the town alone, but then the Chai family was not in good health, and she went to the town to grab medicine and buy rice.

As for Gao Laojiao, let's ignore this person.

Fortunately, Xiaogaozhuang is not far from the town, and there are still big roads all the way, and there are villages and pedestrians on the side of the road, but it is not too remote. There are often big girls and little daughters-in-law walking around alone on the road.

When he arrived in the town, Man Qing familiarly found the silk shop he used to go to and handed over the things. The shopkeeper saw that she was coming, and hurriedly walked up to greet her: "Isn't this a girl from the Gao family?

Man Qing thanked the shopkeeper for his kindness, and said with a smile: "I'm okay, thank you for the shopkeeper's concern! Can you look at the embroidered things this time?" Man Qing smiled a little hard, "I've had a lot of family affairs recently, and I've embroidered so much this month -- I'll have more time to embroider in the future, and I'll embroider more when the time comes!"

The shopkeeper is an old man in his fifties, who has received the embroidery of the mother and daughter of the Gao family for more than ten years, and knows them very well, and he hurriedly persuaded him: "Don't worry, girl, you are still young, and you are still growing your body, don't be too tired! You can come here at any time, as long as there is me, I will receive it!"

"Hey, thank you shopkeeper!"

Man Qing pinched the money bag with two more copper plates, and as soon as he came out of the threshold of the silk village, his eyes were a little sour. She is strong everywhere because she has to be strong, because she has a strange father who is rare in the world. At the same time, thanks to so many well-wishers, her little strength can still be supported, and her life will not be hopeless...... She couldn't imagine how her problems would be solved if there was no Gui family, no grandparents, no aunts, and no shopkeepers......

was struggling with sadness, and suddenly a somewhat familiar voice came from behind, "Miss Gao?"
