It may be that the person who is close to the ink is black, and the senior two are now as thick as osmanthus, and they are pretending to be stupid and stunned in the Gui family anyway, until it is almost dark, Aunt Gui hurriedly made dinner for them, and they finished eating and rushed to the dock with big bags and small bags. The custom here is that newlyweds don't spend the night at their parents' house for a month, or they can live directly until Aunt Gui and they move to the dock.

After another four days, it was the day when Zhang Ye came to Gao's house to propose. Zhang Ye has never been a low-key person, and the surrounding villagers have known it for a long time, plus the dock workers, good friends in the town, and the godfather family he invited...... A large group of people came to Gao's house in a big way.

Walking in the forefront, it is naturally Zhang Ye, who knows that he can see teeth but not eyes. If it weren't for the fact that Man Qing hadn't come out of his mother's funeral yet, and he couldn't beat gongs and drums and firecrackers for ten miles, he really wanted to be notified within a radius of dozens of miles!

Firecrackers are not allowed, but it is okay to speak loudly. It was Zhang Ye who led a group of people, hugging each other and hugging each other, and came to the Gao family all the way talking and laughing. Today, the Gao family is naturally the Gui family to help come forward to greet them, Osmanthus is in the room with Manqing, can't show up, Aunt Gui and Uncle Gui are in front of the guests to greet the guests, Gui Fu and Gao Si are helping to serve tea and pour water, even Gao Lao Lian, today did not hide in the room, but sat at the table in the hall early.

He still looks like an uncle, watching that several members of the Gui family are busy - fortunately, the Gui family knows what virtues he has, and they don't want to worry about him on this good day, so let him sit there as a bodhisattva.

When Zhang Ye and the others arrived, needless to say, the front yard was naturally busy. Zhang Ye simply let the dock take a day off, this day said that he was married, but it was a bit like everyone came to play, he even called the chef of the restaurant in the town to come to Gao's house, for everyone to cook lunch, a large group of people at noon also ate happily. After eating, most of the people left, and the senior called a few workers who were familiar with the dock to clean up the yard before leaving.

Everyone in the next ten miles and eight towns knows that Man Qing is the fiancée of Boss Zhang. Zhang Ye was very embarrassed about it, and he didn't know how to avoid suspicion after he got married, so he ran to Gao's house if he had nothing to do.

The docks are still as busy as ever. Man Qing also went to the dock when he was free, brought some food to Zhang Ye, cooked for him and cleaned up the house, so that he would not be busy like a wild man, and the family would not look like a stranger.

Seeing that they have entered the east, the workers of the dock want to do more work before the weather gets cold, so the dock is getting busier and busier. The Gui family looked at Gui Fuxiang, and the two families gave a dowry and got married next spring, and now the Gui family has also moved to live by the river. Because no one goes back to Xiaogaozhuang with her every evening now, Manqing doesn't come to the dock every day, most of the time, she still does some embroidery work at home, which can subsidize some households.

On this day, Uncle Gui came home to clean up the fields, and by the way, he asked Manqing to go to the dock the next day. Man Qing responded, and the next morning she packed a large basket of vegetables and gave them to the Gui family and Zhang Ye to eat, and Uncle Gui brought some, she picked up some more, and walked slowly to the dock.

Now although the Gui family has moved to the dock and divided the vegetable plots there, Uncle Gui still has to go back to Xiaogaozhuang most of the time, after all, most of the fields are still here. Aunt Gui and Gui Fu have been busy planting vegetables by the river recently, and the land that Man Qing allocated was also handed over to her, and Zhang Ye allocated another piece of land to them, all of which were prepared for opening a restaurant at the dock in the future.

Manqing vegetables are well planted, and they will go over once in a few days to serve those precious crops.

The sun had just come out, and the road to the pier had been paved and much wider. Some poplar and camphor trees are also planted on the roadside, and they will not be so sunny when walking on the road in the future—but at this time they are still small saplings, trying to stretch in the early winter sun, but they still look weak, and they are obviously choked by the increasingly cold wind.

Manqing walks fast—she's got a lot of things, often with the wind under her feet, spinning back and forth wherever she is needed. But the countrymen do things and walk fast, but they set off a while earlier than her, and Uncle Gui can no longer be seen at this time. Just as her thoughts were racing, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind her. She consciously leaned to the side of the road and let them pass first.

In the past year, there have been more and more things on the wharf, and there has been an endless stream of horse-drawn carts and ox-cart markets. But so early...... Manching stopped on the side of the road to see who it was.

It was a group of strange men—and the way they looked at her was completely unfamiliar. There may not be many people in this town who know Manqing now, but there are definitely a lot of people who know her. They are of different heights, moderately dressed, but their looks are a little guarded, how to say, they don't look like hooligans, but they just don't think they are good......

Man Qing estimated that it was someone in the town or the county, and they couldn't afford to mess with it anyway. So she stood silently aside, and simply waited for them to pass before moving on.

I didn't want the few people in the middle to stop suddenly, and there was an uncle who looked to be in his fifties, and he hit the horse to Man Qing's side, "Little lady, are you going to the dock?"

Man Qing glanced up at him, and saw that the uncle's face was very kind—if that smile wasn't too stiff. It can be seen that this person is pretending to be friendly and trying to talk to her. She glanced at them again and stopped, staring at the group of people, and suddenly their hearts beat a little faster.

She didn't think the group was a nice one......!

"Yes—"

"Oooh. Where is the little lady from? Did she go to the dock to do work? How many people do work at the dock now? Do all the people around here go to the dock to do work?"

"Uh...... Be. Man Qing didn't want to say so much, but this person was a little close, and there were a dozen or so other people watching, she was a little afraid not to say it.

"Is there a field by the river? Is the field given to you, or does your family have a field by the river?"

"Hmm...... Be. ”

"Little lady, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. I just heard that this dock is quite powerful, come and see. Little lady, is your family also doing things by the river?"

If you just came to see, how could you ask so many questions? Manqing simply pretended to be stupid, lowered her head and pretended to be embarrassed, "......"

"Little lady, have you heard of Boss Zhang, what kind of person is he?"

Manqing rolled her eyes, her head almost down to her chest. Anyway, unless they are really bad people who do all kinds of evil, they shouldn't ask again when they see a girl's posture of resistance.

Sure enough, the uncle looked disappointed. Someone behind him also sneered a few times, and someone whispered: "It seems that Uncle Hu, you look too scary, so scared that the little girls don't dare to speak!"

Man Qing didn't dare to look up more and more, but stood on the side of the road with his head down, feeling very worried: Who the hell are these people?!

Seeing that Manqing didn't answer, they laughed a few times and continued to pat their horses to the docks.

"It seems that this Boss Zhang is not so popular, isn't there still someone who doesn't dare to mention him!"

"I don't think so, we asked so many people along the way, and they were all saying good things about him...... How could such a piece of fat fall on a wild boy whose father and mother don't know who it is!"

"That's not necessarily, our Qin Ye has taken a fancy to ......"

"Shhh

"Yes!"

The latter words gradually became inaudible, and Man Qing slowly raised his head with a look of horror: these people are coveting Zhang Ye and his dock!

Unable to care about so much, Man Qing quickened his pace and hurried to the dock. However, she drove a little way, turned a corner, and found that the group of people had stopped beside Uncle Gui again, talking to him. Manqing slowed down and retreated into the bend, not moving forward until they had finished speaking and left.

"Uncle Gui!"

Uncle Gui turned around and saw Man Qing catching up and smiled at her.

"Uncle Gui!" Man Qing trotted all the way over, "What did that group of people tell you just now?"

"Oh, they asked me something about the docks. Uncle Gui was honest and didn't think much about it, "Just ask us if we have any fields by the river." I'll just talk about it. ”

Man Qing thought badly, but when she saw Uncle Gui's kind face, she couldn't say the words of reproach in her heart. Forget it, even if Uncle Gui doesn't say it, they will ask when they meet other people. In the past two years, everyone's life has been good, the neighbors are very friendly, and there is probably no guarding.

"What's the matter, do you know those people?"

"I don't know," Man Qing smiled helplessly, "but I don't think they're good people." If we run into it again next time, let's be careful!"

"Haha, you little girl also knows what good people are not good people?!" Uncle Gui laughed, "Don't worry, I didn't say anything." They don't look like we're from here, and we won't talk nonsense!" he said as he talked about the crops in the field, and Manqing changed the subject. But for some reason, the uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
