Chapter 6: A Farce
Zhoujiayingzi is larger than Bazhuang Village, where Jiang's family is located, and it is closer to the county seat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Jiang Xiaolin lived in Zhou's house for a few days and got used to it.
The summer of July and August is the busy season of farming, and my uncle and aunt and cousin Zhou Hui have to work in the fields. Jiang Xiaolin wanted to help, but everyone stopped her from going, and Jiang Xiaolin knew her own family affairs, and it was estimated that she would only have the share of adding chaos when she went to the ground, so she didn't insist anymore.
However, she worked with Zhou Ping at noon every day to cook and then send it to the field, so that her uncle and aunt could eat in the field, and they could rest in the shade of the tree for a while, so that they didn't have to run home every day.
After getting along more, Jiang Xiaolin found that Zhou Ping was actually a very lively girl, and Zhou Ping saw that this cousin was not as arrogant and ignorant as before, and the relationship between the two little girls was much closer.
"Cousin, let me come. ”
"You wash the vegetables, I'll do it. ”
Now, Jiang Xiaolin has been able to skillfully light a fire, and she can also get started with things in the kitchen.
Zhou Ping made rice buns for her parents and sisters today, fresh wild vegetables and scrambled eggs picked in the morning mixed with sauce, rolled in the middle of rice, and wrapped with lettuce leaves, which can be eaten by hand, which is very convenient.
When the meal was ready, the two little girls took a brief bite in the kitchen and went to the field to deliver the meal together.
"Pingping, this wild vegetable is delicious when it is fresh, and it is defeated, so let's pick some more tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay, I was worried that you wouldn't get used to it. ”
"No, it's delicious. ”
"Haven't you picked wild vegetables to eat?" Zhou Ping asked suspiciously.
How is it possible, don't every family pick some wild vegetables to eat this summer?
In Jiang Xiaolin's memory, her family also eats wild vegetables, and often eats them, but most of them are eaten by her parents. Jiang Xiaolin herself has only eaten in the school cafeteria once or twice.
As for Shan Lin, who lives in the materially rich modern age, I really haven't eaten it.
"Uh...... I've eaten it, but today's wild vegetables feel particularly delicious, and maybe the new ones picked in the morning are different. ”
"Because I picked it myself, I think it's delicious......
"Maybe it'...... Okay, you're saying I didn't work before, didn't you......"
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Jiang Xiaolin reached out to Zhou Ping's armpit and grabbed it gently, Zhou Ping screamed and laughed and ran away, Jiang Xiaolin chased her behind her, and stretched out her hand to coax her, the two little girls ran and chased with laughter, and the laughter was scattered in the bright summer sunshine.
After running a corner, there were many people gathered at the gate of a small courtyard in front of them, and Jiang Xiaolin and the others slowed down.
When I got closer, it turned out that there was a noise in the yard, and there were many people standing outside the yard, all of whom came to see the excitement, and each stretched their necks to poke in.
Jiang Xiaolin knows that because of the monotonous life of the countrymen, there is usually something new in the family, and everyone is good-looking. Even women will use these parents as a topic of discussion for a while. But for her, paying attention to privacy is a matter of course in her concept, she doesn't like her own affairs to be discussed by others, and she also restricts herself from snooping on other people's privacy.
Jiang Xiaolin wanted to walk through this road quickly, but it backfired, the country road was already very narrow, and there were many people standing, which made it even more crowded, and Zhou Ping beside her was obviously very interested, and her eyes couldn't stop looking into the courtyard.
Suddenly, seven or eight people poured out of the courtyard, obviously driven out by the family, and they were squeezed out, and Jiang Xiaolin and the others couldn't get by.
The seven or eight people were apparently led by a middle-aged couple, and the rest surrounded the old couple with a protective attitude.
The aunt at the head couldn't stop scolding: "Huang Cuilan, I knew that your Yu family was such an unreasonable family, I wouldn't have been engaged to your family at the beginning! Marriage was originally a matter of your affection and my willingness, but if you don't agree to withdraw from the marriage, my daughter won't enter your house!"
There was also a burst of scolding in the courtyard, and it was obvious that the hostess was also a pungent person:
"My family is unreasonable?! When we were engaged, it wasn't your family that rushed to catch up with us, and we said that your family Zhou Haiyan would get married when she turned 20. Who knew that Zhou Haiyan was admitted to university, and your family was dragged in, not to mention that he was afraid of bad influence during school and would not get married, so he asked us to wait for four years. We didn't say anything and agreed, it's so easy to graduate soon, and now your family is talking about divorce, and there is no door!
"What's the rush to your family, it was our two families who were engaged at the beginning, but now they are all new societies, and we have to pay attention to the autonomy of children's marriage, and now your family refuses to withdraw from the marriage, this is forced marriage, just no. ”
"What do you marry?!" Huang Cuilan, the hostess of the courtyard, finally jumped out, her hands crossed her waist, and her face turned red with anger:
"She doesn't agree with this family business, why did she go earlier, why did she say it now, and if she doesn't agree, what has she been doing with us Zhenye all these years?!"
"Sister-in-law of the Yu family, don't be angry first......" Among the seven or eight people, an aunt of about the same age came out, who seemed to be a red-faced character.
"Who are you, do you have the right to speak?"
"I ...... I'm Haiyan and her third aunt......"
"Third aunt, her parents are not dead, use your third aunt to speak, whose master can you be?!"
"You ......" The aunt's face was obviously unbearable, and her smile was gone.
"Haiyan, this child has been close to me since she was a child, and I know her heart best. The kid went to college and learned culture. When people of culture get married, they pay attention to a common language...... It's just being able to speak from the heart. Zhenye's child is good, but Haiyan is a few years older, taciturn, and not at home all the year round, what do you say they can say. ”
"What...... Before she got married, she Zhou Haiyan wanted to talk to men? That's all the work of unserious women! When we were young, we only saw what men looked like when we passed the door. ”
"You! Your son is not worthy of our Haiyan, and he has to marry him? He also said that our Haiyan is not serious? If he doesn't marry your Yu family, will your family still dare to come to the door to rob people? That week, Haiyan's mother was impulsive and arrogant, and shouted loudly.
A young man suddenly came out of the yard, seventeen or eighteen years old, not short but very thin, with an indignant look on his face: "Why is my brother not worthy of her, what a common language, don't think that others don't know, she has someone else outside, I have seen her walking outside with a man in the county!"
The family was shocked. Huang Cuilan sneered: "Hmph, there is such a thing, I said how to get engaged for so many years and then come to withdraw from the marriage, I'm afraid I found someone else!"
Zhou Haiyan's mother hurriedly said loudly: "My daughter is not that kind of person, you are trying to pour dirty water on my daughter, you family ...... lose conscience"
"Ahem, don't shout, don't talk about it. The man of the Zhou family spoke: "Her aunt, what is this about the two children, do you have to let Zhenye come out and talk to us." ”
"What do you want Zhenye to say? You just see that he is a kind person, and he is easy to talk ......."
"Mom, just let me tell you. ”
As the man's deep voice sounded, a tall figure in a military uniform came out of the small courtyard.
His back is as straight as a mountain, and even when he stands in the crowd, he stands out from the crowd. He has two thick black sword eyebrows, which are frowning into a "Chuan" shape at the moment, his thin lips are tightened, the corners of his mouth are tight, and his eyes are sharp but revealing a kind of helplessness.
When Jiang Xiaolin saw him, she couldn't help but shout softly.
He was the one who saved her that night.
Then she realized she had screamed, and she bit her lip.
What to shout, it's just a one-sided relationship, just see you every few days, how can there be a feeling of being separated from the world.
…… It turned out that his name was Yu Zhenye.
In fact, she was a little happy in her heart, and then a little discouraged, knowing his name, she was just a passer-by he helped casually, I'm afraid he didn't remember who she was......
And thinking of the situation he was facing at the moment, he couldn't help but worry about him, and he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while.
