Chapter 25: Milk Candy and Silk Scarves
The dawn broke in the east, and the long night passed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Last night, after the two dogs returned home bravely, on their own kang, tossing and turning, their heads were groggy, their eyes were open and closed, and they didn't sleep well all night, until the eve of dawn, they didn't feel like they were coming to their senses, and after a while, the roosters in the village crowed one after another, completely driving away his sleepiness.
He barely opened his eyes, looked up at the window, and vaguely saw the pine trees in Nanshan, so he got up, quickly put on his clothes, stepped on his shoes and went out.
The second dog did not lie, when he lived in the hut, in the middle of the night, he clearly heard the scream of the owl, vaguely heard the cry of the woman, and was indeed frightened to wake up, thinking of the description of the female ghost in the story, he felt very panicked.
In fact, he had been thinking about Han Shaoning in his heart, and he had long remembered to go to the hut to have a look. It's just that before dawn, he was a little scared and didn't dare to go out. Now as soon as the rooster sings that the world is white, he will be bold. He learned from the story meeting that female ghosts are afraid of roosters, and when they see the sun, their souls will be scattered. True, there was one more reason that forced him to go.
There was no one on the street, he took three steps and made two steps, trotted all the way to the root of Nanshan, came to the door out of breath, and shouted softly: "Shaoning, are you up?"
No one responded.
He raised his voice and shouted at him, but there was no movement.
"What time is it, and I slept like a dead pig!" he said to himself, and walked boldly into the house.
The cups and plates in the house were messy, the bedding was messy, and there was no shadow of Han Shaoning.
Ergouzi caught a glimpse of the three-tower cigarette box in the corner, and there was not a single cigarette in it, and he couldn't help frowning!
He quickly reached under the futon, fortunately the storybook of "The Fox Fairy Repays the Favor" was still there, and a trace of relief flashed in his heart.
"Early in the morning, where did this kid go? Did he really let the female ghost catch him, or did he mix with the fox fairy?"
In the early morning, the pine forest is quiet.
The pine trees in Nanshan are one after another, with lush branches and leaves, like sentries standing guard on duty, watching every move in the village and protecting the peace and tranquility of Hanjiazhuang.
A pine tree, tall and thick. A man, motionless, stood in front of the tree.
A piece of pine bark has been stripped away, and the bones are exposed, and a picture is engraved: a sunny little boy is holding hands with a beautiful little girl, and the characters "Ning" and "Bing" are engraved underneath, and a large heart is carved between the two characters.
Han Shaoning looked at the picture intently, but his thoughts drifted back to ten years ago.
"Brother Ning, let's just hold hands like this until we are old, okay?" Su Ruobing took his hand, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and the mountain breeze blew her hair, like a fairy. Han Shaoning was stupid, and he swore in his heart that he would marry her.
The years are like traces, the world has changed, and now the painting is in the people, Han Shaoning touches the scene, and his heart is like a knife.
The last time they met in Nanshan, Su Ruobing had already hinted at the life she longed for, but Han Shaoning always felt that she still had a chance, had time, and as long as she could make a lot of money, she would confess to Su Ruobing, and there would definitely be no problem with reconciliation.
Now, Su Ruobing is obviously unwilling to wait any longer, she knows that Han Shaoning can't meet the life she wants.
At this moment, Han Shaoning understood more that what Su Ruobing wanted was not 10,000 yuan, but that she didn't want to be a farmer anymore, didn't want to stay in the countryside anymore, wanted to be a clean city person, and wanted to live a free, comfortable and lively life.
Now, he can't do it at all!
The morning breeze blew across his cheeks, and Han Shaoning returned to reality!
"Liar!" Han Shaoning spat at the ground fiercely, took one last look at the "two" on the tree, and turned to leave.
The ideal is very plump, but the reality is too skinny.
He came down from Nanshan, went to Qianjie, and walked briskly westward, planning to go back to Dongyu Town to clean up the pot stove and continue to sell his wonton baked cakes.
He strode forward, not wanting to be touched, but he still heard someone shouting behind him: "Shaoning, wait!"
He didn't have to look back, he knew it was Ergouzi when he heard the voice! He thought about it for a while, and finally stopped!
When the second dog caught up with him, he was already panting like a cow.
"Why are you walking so fast, I'm still struggling to run after you!" the second dog panted while wiping his sweat.
"Who told you to chase it?" Han Shaoning said coldly.
Ergouzi knew that he was in a bad mood, so he was not angry at all, but smiled and said, "No one, I am willing to do it myself!"
"Something, if it's okay, I'm still waiting to catch the car, pack up the shop and sell wontons!" Han Shaoning's tone softened a lot.
"I know you're a busy man, no matter how precious your time is, don't miss a minute or two to listen to me!, what's more, we're good buddies!" Ergouzi's eyes were very sincere.
Han Shaoning looked at the clouds in Dongshan, looked at the road entrance again, sighed lightly, and said, "Just say what you want!"
"That's right, good buddy is just to save face!" Ergouzi patted Han Shaoning's shoulder and grinned.
"If you have a fart, let it go, if you have something to say, say it quickly!" Han Shaoning frowned and said impatiently.
"Miss Su's matter, I listened to my mother, and my mother listened to Aunt Qiaozhen, as for whether what she said is true, I don't know myself, so I suggest you go and ask Miss Second in person. I didn't sleep well all night last night, one reason is that I am worried that you will be caught by a female ghost, and the other is that I am afraid that there will be a misunderstanding, to be honest, it is not uncommon to spread nonsense, don't blame others!"
"Are you finished?" Han Shaoning asked coldly.
"That's it!" the second dog blinked, not knowing why.
"You're done, can I go?" Han Shaoning's expression was still grim.
"Of course you can!" replied the second dog stupidly.
Han Shaoning turned his head, shook off his big stride, and went straight to the avenue.
"Silly boy, you'd better ask in front of the gong and the drum, otherwise you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" Ergouzi shouted loudly.
Han Shaoning was shocked and stopped again.
The second dog chased forward again, and said very happily: "That's right, hurry up and ask her to find out! Maybe the second miss doesn't have that kind of thing at all!"
Han Shaoning looked at the three dogs without blinking.
"If you're embarrassed, I'll ask her out for you. Ergouzi said very enthusiastically.
Han Shaoning's eyes were red, but he was still silent.
"In the morning, I'll find a way to ask her out! You just wait in the hut!" Ergouzi patted Han Shaoning's shoulder and said affectionately.
Han Shaoning nodded slightly.
Seeing the second dog leaving happily, Han Shaoning immediately closed his eyes, which were already full of tears.
Han Shaoning returned to the hut, staring at the roof with his eyes on the roof, lying quietly.
I don't know how long it took, but the second dog came in, still holding a handful of steaming dried white potatoes in his hand.
"It's pimple soup in the morning, and I can't bring it to you, so I gave you a few white potatoes. Man, I also made an appointment for you, and she said that she would come in a while. Ergouzi looked very excited on his face.
Han Shaoning's expression on his face was indifferent, and he didn't know whether he was happy or sad.
People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic, Han Shaoning is really a little hungry, and she ate three in one go.
The second dog was flipping through the storybook on the side.
"What did you tell her?Are her parents at home?" Han Shaoning asked softly after eating the sweet potato, taking a sip of cold water.
"How do I know!" Ergouzi kept his eyes on the book, realized that he was talking, and immediately said, "Don't worry! Anyway, I have an appointment with you!"
Han Shaoning felt that something was not quite right, grabbed the storybook, frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on?"
"I just came out of the house and happened to meet Erniu, I knew that the two of them had a good relationship, so I asked Erniu to do it. The second girl came out and told me that it was done, and that was it. Hurry up and give me back the storybook, people are fascinated by it!" said Sangouzi with glaring eyes.
Han Shaoning threw the book to the side of the kang and shook his head helplessly.
Ergouzi picked up the book and said very unhappily, "Don't you believe my words?"
"Why should I believe your words? You didn't do it yourself!" It wasn't a glorious thing in the first place, Han Shaoning complained a little that Ergouzi had mixed Erniu into it.
"You don't believe me, it doesn't matter, but I believe in Erniu, she never lied to me! She said that if it's done, there will be absolutely no problem!" Ergouzi put down the storybook and looked out the window, looking very resolute.
Han Shaoning looked at Ergouzi's expression, and his heart trembled.
Just then, a woman outside the house shouted, "Is the dog in the house?"
Hearing Su Ruobing's voice, Han Shaoning turned over and sat on the edge of the kang, his heart already shaking violently.
"Here!" Ergouzi shouted outside, and then said to Han Shaoning affectionately, "People are here, the rest is up to you!"
Su Ruobing had already arrived in the back room.
"You two talk, I'm going out for a while. After the second dog finished speaking, he glanced at Han Shaoning, turned around and walked out.
Originally, the two of them had no guesses and nothing to say, but now they are sitting on the edge of the kang, bowing their heads and breaking their fingers in silence.
There was no movement in the room, only the sound of heartbeats and breathing.
"Are you looking for me?" Su Ruobing broke the silence.
Han Shaoning was originally sharp-tongued, but when he arrived in front of Su Ruobing, he blushed and had a thick neck and couldn't speak.
"If nothing happens, I have to go, and my dad said to take me to the county department store today. Su Ruobing's feet have landed.
Han Shaoning finally raised his head and looked directly at Su Ruobing, but still didn't speak.
The dog who was eavesdropping at the root of the backyard wall outside the house couldn't wait to rush forward and slap Han Shaoning twice!
Su Ruobing couldn't stand Han Shaoning's eyes, lowered her head and said, "It's okay if you don't speak." Really, my dad is waiting for me!"
Her feet are already moving!
"Wait!" Han Shaoning jumped to the ground.
Su Ruobing was very obedient.
"I heard that you have a partner and plan to get married at the end of the year, is it true?" Han Shaoning stared at Su Ruobing with his eyes.
"You're looking for me to ask about this?" Su Ruobing frowned slightly.
Han Shaoning nodded fiercely.
"That's right. The building was newly renovated, the bride price was 10,000 yuan, and he said that he would buy a car after marriage. Su Ruobing replied generously.
However, a wry smile flashed across the corners of her mouth.
Han Shaoning was completely shocked!
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Su Ruobing's eyes were like sharp swords, and he looked straight at Han Shaoning.
Han Shaoning shook his head expressionlessly.
Su Ruobing's feet began to move, and one foot had stepped out of the threshold of the inner room.
"What else do you have in your heart besides money?" Han Shaoning roared loudly.
Su Ruobing stood still, tears in the corners of her eyes, and blood in her heart.
"Don't blame Ruobing, this is my idea, I don't want her to follow in her footsteps, I don't want to live a hard life again. Money is not everything, but it is difficult to move without money. If you can take out 100,000 yuan before the end of the year, I will marry my daughter to you!"
"One hundred thousand?" Han Shaoning frowned.
"No one is missing!" Su Youwei glanced at Han Shaoning, pulled Su Ruobing and said, "Let's go, we still have to go to the county seat to visit the building, don't waste time here." ”
Su Youwei's father and daughter were gone, Han Shaoning was still stunned on the ground, and the second dog jumped in and patted him on the shoulder: "It's man-made, I believe in you!"
Ergouzi also left, he knew that Han Shaoning just wanted to be alone.
After a long time, Han Shaoning silently took out a bag of "White Rabbit" toffee from his underwear pocket, as well as a red silk scarf, and put it on the table. Milk candy and silk scarves were bought from department stores, and I originally wanted to give them to my beloved girl.
