12. Good sister osmanthus
Osmanthus combed a big black braid and swayed from side to side as she looked left and right, "Your family—your father is not here?"
Osmanthus Changmanqing is one year old, and it will be fifteen at the end of the year. She was tall, very plump, her face was also plump, with long eyebrows, big eyes, thick lips, and her face was a little dark from working all year round, but her cheeks were perennially ruddy with the peculiar of a young girl's house, like a small poplar tree on the side of the road, and she was full of vitality.
Manqing is a different type than her. Thin, just long, white and delicate, eyebrows and eyes delicate, like a wicker by the river, slender and weak.
Osmanthus didn't wait for Manqing to answer, and explained to herself, "Hey, my mother didn't allow me to come over in the past two days! You know, my mother is good at everything, but she's afraid of ghosts!-hehe, I don't mean that my mother is afraid of your mother, she's like that! Hey, you don't know, my mother has been chattering when she sleeps these nights, so I said, people are not afraid of a little girl in Manqing, what are you afraid of when you are an old mother? ”
Osmanthus spoke crackling and walked in with the door that Man Qing pushed open, "Your little cabbage has grown a lot taller, you can eat it." I'll get one back in a minute!"
Man Qing was used to her saying things like this, and she didn't care, "Now you can talk about it, and I'll take it back when I go back in a while, your family has dinner late, just in time." Why did you come here today, didn't your mother see it?"
"See! I said I'm going to see Manqing, hey, guess what my mother said!" Osmanthus bent down to pull the little cabbage, and learned her mother's speech vividly, "If you drill that dog hole and tear your clothes again, you will pick a thatched house for three days!-haha!"
In fact, these two little sisters got together and whispered that they had stopped drilling the dog hole for a long time, because the Gao family had not kept dogs for many years, and the dog hole was already overgrown with weeds, and they couldn't drill into it if they wanted to. It's just that the mothers on both sides didn't like to see the girls of the two families come and go, because they both avoided the eyes of adults.
Speaking of which, they themselves knew that the two adults were only openly opposed, and if they were really completely unallowed, they would not even be able to drill the dog hole at the beginning.
Speaking of picking thatched houses, it is the most bitter, smelly and unpopular farm work in the countryside. The farmer makes a thatched house, and if there are many people, he has to pick it once in a few days. Generally, these jobs are done by the men in the family, but even if the Gao family doesn't enter the kitchen, don't expect to pick a thatched house.
Speaking of this, Osmanthus couldn't help but glance at Man Qing worriedly, "What will happen to your thatched house in the future, hey-I really can't do it, I'll call my brother to help!"
Man Qing, who had been worried about the top of the cloud cover, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "Nonsense! Can you just ask someone to help with this? It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, there are many difficult things I have to do, there is more than this, there is nothing remarkable! Besides, don't you keep telling me that women should also be self-reliant, don't learn from that sour old man?"
Osmanthus is quite fast, and there is already a handful of tender cabbage in her hands for such a short time. She stood up, looked at Man Qing carefully, and grinned, "This is my good sister, and I haven't wasted my careful teaching in the past few years! I'll rest assured if you do this! I'm going back to make dinner, and my father and my brother will be back in a while--I'll go and tell my mother, she's also worried about you crying in the room!--Where did Gao Lao Li?"
Man Qing also knew that she was definitely not here to chat at this time, and she didn't leave her, so she sent her to the back door and helped her open the back door, "In his room, don't talk about him, I still have something I want to ask you for an idea, when are you free tomorrow?"
"Oh, if you don't look for me, I'll be looking for you tomorrow. So, I'll come to you tomorrow when I have breakfast, okay?"
"Okay. Go back quickly, Aunt Gui will be looking for you in a while!"
"Hey, I've got to talk about my mother tonight, really, an old woman, who talks about it all day long - I'm gone, I'll come to you tomorrow morning!"
Man Qing saw the figure of Osmanthus disappearing around the corner neatly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth had not yet dissipated. If the Gao family is like the oppressive and cold well in the yard, the Gui family next door is the rushing river at the edge of the village, full of vitality and warmth.
Osmanthus is also an important source of warmth in Manqing's pale and boring life for more than ten years.
In addition, the three words "Gao Lao Pick" are also osmanthus sù her. At that time, Osmanthus was only a little girl of seven or eight years old, and the two little girls had to drill the dog hole if they wanted to chat. One day, she finally couldn't help but tell her good sister, Gao Lao's daughter, about the deeds she heard outside. She also used the facts she saw and heard to prove that what she heard outside was right, and she was stunned when she heard the still ignorant Manqing. Since then, Osmanthus has been unscrupulous, opening her mouth and closing her mouth, Gao Lao picked, saying what would happen if it was her, Yunyun. If Chai knew that she had worked hard to teach her daughter the "Book of Filial Piety" and the Three Virtues and the Four Virtues, and that her daughter had already been taught "bad" by the neighbor's little girl from the dog hole, she wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh in heaven.
There is also an important figure in the Gui family, Gui Fu, the elder brother of Osmanthus Hua. Gui Fu Da Manqing was three years old, and he had seen Manqing from afar a few times when he was a child, and he usually heard a few words from the little girl next door from his sister's mouth, and he didn't feel anything else. He is now seventeen years old, and it is just the time to say goodbye, Aunt Gui takes him very closely, and he is absolutely not allowed to mess with peach blossom debts. Naturally, he didn't know that he had been promised to her by his sister a long time ago!
Since she knew what it was like to get married, Osmanthus, who was very sympathetic to Manqing, felt that the only one who could save Manqing was her honest, honest and energetic brother. As long as she has the opportunity, she will definitely say good things about her brother to Manqing. Man Qing has been messing with Osmanthus for a long time, and she is not stupid, and she is desperate for the Gao family, and she also thinks that this may be a good idea. Yes, she has always felt that she has tolerated Gao Lao's picking for a few years, and when she is in time, she may be able to marry Brother Gui Fu, so that she doesn't have to worry about Gao Lao's picking!
Speaking of Brother Gui Fu, everything is good, but the Gui family is closer to the Gao family - she can't wait to stay away from Gao Lao after getting married!
In fact, she had seen Gui Fu from afar, and she hadn't even seen what he looked like, but she just kept hearing such a good marriage partner from Osmanthus 's mouth......
How Manqing rested this night, and how Osmanthus fought with her mother this night, on the other side, Liu Datou walked for most of the day, and finally found the edge of the paulownia garden by the river.
Gao Xiaoliu, who was guarding the garden, was bored at the gate of the garden, and he didn't want to see someone cowering and walking towards the garden suspiciously in the dark.
Boss Zhang invited him to guard the yard, but he has been guarding it for a month, except for a few wild cats, wild dogs, pheasants, and not a single villain, can he not be excited?
"Hey, don't hit me, don't hit me, I'm not a bad person, I'm here to find Boss Zhang!"
After teasing Man Qing, Liu Datou walked slowly to his home alone, but the more he walked, the more unpleasant he felt in his heart, especially when he thought that at this time, Gao Siliang had already worked easily in the beautiful paulownia garden by the river to earn money, and he still didn't have anything, and he didn't know what to eat at night - no, since he was a good brother, it didn't make sense for Boss Zhang to only accept Gao Siliang and not him. Since they didn't wait for him, then he would come to the door, he didn't believe that he was not as good as a senior high school, and Boss Zhang could not accept him!
Gao Xiaoliuxiong took Liu Datou with a worried face and came to a big grass shed in the corner of the garden, "Boss, there is a person named Liu Datou here who said he was looking for you!"
There was no movement inside, Liu Datou waited anxiously, and when he looked at it, he saw Gao Siliang walking towards him with a guilty face, and suddenly became angry, "Gao Siliang, you are an ungrateful bastard, you came to make a fortune but threw me in someone else's house, do you still have a conscience!"
The guilt on the faces of the senior was a little slackened, but he still grabbed Liu Datou, "Shhh, be quiet!, come with me, meet the boss first, we'll talk about it later!"
