Chapter 68: Confession
"Have you eaten?"
Xiang Gang lifted the lid of the rattan basket and saw that there was a bowl of rice, although it was a deep-bottomed bowl, but a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks were obviously for him to eat alone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Eat. It's all yours. ”
Qingling saw that the bottom of the tree was quite clean, the weeds were all pulled out, and there were three scrubbed chairs on the side.
Each of them has one hand, and the other is used to put the rattan basket.
In addition to rice, there are two bowls of vegetables in the basket.
A bowl of braised bamboo shoots in oil, there are many bamboo shoots at home, in addition to dried bamboo shoots, it is also delicious to eat fresh. The bamboo shoots do not absorb oil, and if you put a little vegetable oil on it, the bamboo shoots will be oily, and it can be used for rice.
The other bowl is pheasant stewed with potatoes. It's the leftover braised chicken from last night, I peeled a few pieces of potatoes and put it in at noon today, stewed the pot of potatoes and stewed chicken, the potato flour is powdered, and the chicken soup is soaked in delicious flavor.
Generally speaking, it is necessary to ask someone to repair the house for a free lunch, but Xiang Gang's family is alone, the chimney of the stove room is blocked by the bird's nest and has not passed, so I discussed with the uncles and uncles who helped the work, and the lunch will be solved by themselves, but they will be subsidized with a few catties of food stamps, in short, they will not suffer a loss. Both sides rejoiced.
Hearing Qingling say that she had eaten, and seeing that her expression did not seem to be fake, Xiang Gang was no longer polite, and took a big bite of the rice bowl. asked her if Mrs. Shu had come to the door to make trouble.
Qingling didn't think to hide it, including Lin Yang's door-to-door visit, how many pairs of eyes were staring at it. Instead of hearing about it from other people's mouths, it is better to explain it honestly, and she didn't do anything wrong.
"Well, Grandma thinks that her should be in charge of my marriage, but she ...... "Opening her mouth is a matter of thousands of bride price, Qingling is really ashamed to speak."
was hesitating, but heard Xiang Gang say: "I know, you don't have to worry, since the master and the master have taken the idea, listen to them." You and I are juniors, it's not good to be too good in this kind of thing. ”
This is to follow her and call the master and the master?
Qingling heard that the tips of her ears were faintly hot.
"What's the matter with the educated youth?" Xiang Gang tilted his head and looked at her fixedly, his eyes were deep, as if he was like a vortex that could suck people in. I could see that Ling forgot to breathe for a moment.
"Stupid?" Xiang Gang chuckled, turned his head and continued eating, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, I'll just ask." ”
Qingling choked. What kind of thing is this! As if she really had something to do with Lin Yang, he didn't let her say it, she wanted to say:
"Brother Lin, he...... Helped me many times. After my father and mother left, my grandmother and uncle lived in my house, and every time I received the rations, no matter where I hid them, they would be turned over by my grandmother and aunt...... also said that I was only adopted by my father and mother, and I am not a real descendant of the old Shu family, and no one will say anything if I am kicked out of the house......"
Shu Yingfang has a soft temperament, and when Mrs. Shu said this, she was scared in her heart. Even if you know that you are adopted, what if you are in a vast sea of people, and you have been separated for more than ten years, where can you find blood relatives?
What's more, who can guarantee that she was simply lost back then, and not maliciously abandoned by her family as a girl? Naturally, she didn't dare to run to the president and the secretary to uphold justice, for fear that the only place to stay would also be deprived. silently endured the difficult days when the rations were exploited, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I wiped my tears and asked the friendly daughters-in-law in the village to even, boiled gruel to satisfy my stomach, and returned them when the new grain was distributed.
Xiang Gang listened silently, seeing that her mood was gradually declining, presumably remembering her adoptive parents, he pursed his lips and asked, "How much did he borrow from you before and after?"
"Huh?" Qingling met his gentle gaze blankly, and it took a long time before she could reluctantly, daring to ask Lin Yang about borrowing her rations, and hurriedly said: "There are thirty catties in total, and I will remember the amount borrowed every time." ”
The original owner is quite kind, and every account has been recorded, including the help of the villagers in the past few years. It can be seen that he is not a foolish person, but he is forced by life, and he believes in Lin Yang's vows and has endless expectations for him, but he doesn't want to be jealous and die.
Qingling sighed in her heart, and said: "Actually, I could have returned it a while ago, but he refused to accept it, and I couldn't send it to his residence with an injured arm, so I dragged it until now......
"Well, I've got you covered. Xiang Gang nodded solemnly.
Qingling: "......"
What did she just say?
After lunch, everyone rested in the shade of the trees.
Yesterday there was a downpour, the ground is not as hot as before, the house of the Xiang family was built at the head of the bridge, the first household in the west of the low pier bridge, the river behind the house, the road on the side of the house, there is nothing to cover. It is very convenient to ventilate and cool off.
"What's the lunch break so cool, you can live in early after picking up the gang early. Xiang took a few puffs of cigarette to the second uncle, extinguished the cigarette butt and shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes! Gangzi still has to be arranged, and it has to be finished early. Someone quickly answered with a smile.
You don't need to ask what the layout is, the wedding room! Everyone grinned knowingly.
Qingling's face was thin-skinned, and she couldn't stand the jokes of her uncle and aunt like this, so when she saw that Xiang had just finished eating, she hurriedly put away the dishes and chopsticks, hugged the rattan basket, and ran back.
Xiang Gang leaned against the gate of the courtyard, watching the slender back disappear at the bridge, and turned around to say hello to the second uncle: "Second uncle, I'll go out for a trip, and I should be back soon." ”
"Go, go, go. Second Uncle Xiang obviously misunderstood, and patted him on the shoulder with an ambiguous smile, "There is an uncle here to show you, and it doesn't matter if you don't come back." ”
Xiang Gang raised an eyebrow and did not explain.
He went to the educated youth station in Jiangkou Port.
It was lunch break, and Lin Yang and several educated youths were resting in their respective rooms.
It was said to be resting, but in fact, no one fell asleep.
Lin Yang was lying on the bed, thinking about the noon incident over and over again-
Has it been heard by the villagers? Will it be talked about everywhere? Will it spread to the county? What if it affects the return to the city at the end of the year?
At the same time, she was angry, how could Ying Fang treat herself like this! In terms of conditions, what was wrong with her being a soldier? Not a poor soldier! If you want a family background without a family background, if you want a background without a background, if your father is dead and her mother has run away, why don't you dare to marry such a person? Why don't you wait any longer, she has already promised her, and after returning to the city, she will settle down and come to pick her up to live a good life as a master, why don't you believe in yourself! Why!
Liu Jihong couldn't sleep excitedly. Shu Yingfang is really talking about the object, and it is impossible to compete with her for Lin Yang anymore. As long as Lin Yang no longer sets his eyes on Shu Yingfang alone, he will have a chance. Thinking that one day he could be as good as a man like Lin Yang who was well-born, good-looking, highly educated, and had excellent conditions in all aspects, Liu Jihong's blood boiled......
