CHAPTER IX

After Xie Kang showed Su Yan all the mushrooms picked by Xie Liu, he realized that Xie Liu had mistakenly confused a white umbrella-shaped poisonous mushroom with a mouth mushroom, which led to Xie He's poisoning.

Fortunately, Xie Liu only released a little, and the toxin did not gather, because there were no obvious symptoms of poisoning in the two adults, Xie Liu and Xie Kang, while Xie He, a young child under the age of five, reported obviously.

Sending the family of three away, Su Yan went to the stove room to make the mushroom sauce she had in mind.

Stir-fry the chopped green onion in hot oil until fragrant, chop a small piece of pork and diced mushrooms and stir-fry together.

Because it was summer, it was easy to get spoiled if she made too much to eat, so Su Yan only made a small half pot and put it in a bamboo basket and put it in the well for preservation.

That night, Su Yan didn't cook, and it was rare to steam a few steamed buns with noodles.

The hot steamed buns are sandwiched with fragrant and delicious mushroom sauce, and when you bite into it, your mouth is full of fragrance, Rao is Su Yan has a small appetite who eats two steamed buns in a row, not to mention Zhongkang, three or five mouthfuls of one steamed bun in his stomach, and he ate six or seven before he stopped.

Su Yan steamed a total of more than a dozen steamed buns in this pot, and ate most of them in this meal, leaving only three or two, and the mushroom sauce was only a base.

Su Yan turned her head to look at Zhong Kang, who was satisfied, her teeth were grinding loudly, and she suddenly regretted leaving this person at home-

How much more to cook!

***

Just after dinner the next morning, Mrs. Tang sent a small servant to inform Su Yan that in the past few days, she ordered people to visit the whole county and even asked about several surrounding towns, and no family surnamed Zhong had lost anyone, and there was no news of missing people in the county.

There was no news outside, and Zhong Kang himself couldn't remember where his home was, so Su Yan had no choice but to make plans to stay with Zhong Kang for a long time, just hoping that one day his family would find this small mountain village.

After lunch, Su Yan took Zhong Kang to Aunt Liu's house, no matter what, Xia Hua's fracture has an inseparable relationship with Zhong Kang, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it is a fact that Xia Hua is now lying on the kang and can't get off the ground, Aunt Liu has taken care of Su Yan a lot, and Su Yan naturally can't ignore it.

After the rain two days ago, the weeds in the field grew wildly, and it looked like it was going to cause disaster to the whole land, Aunt Liu was busy weeding in the field for the past two days, Uncle Liu did not come back in the town, and there were only Chunjuan and Xia Hua at home.

The small mountain village is not so exquisite, not to mention that Xia Hua is still young, Zhong Kang is a fool, there is nothing to avoid, Chunjuan welcomed the two into the house, Xia Hua tied one leg to the plank and bent one leg to sit on the kang head bored to swallow melon seeds, seeing the two, her eyes lit up, and threw away the melon seeds in her hand: "It's a person, Sister Su Yan, I'm about to grow grass when I lie on the kang for the past two days!" ”

She smiled brightly, her eyes were bright, her tone was cheerful and chattering, and there was no estrangement because of the events of the day, Su Yan's unease in her heart went a lot, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Isn't your sister here to accompany you?" ”

Xia Hua snorted at the needlework basket on the kang head: "Huh! My sister is busy doing embroidery work, how can she bother with me! I can only sit on the kang and eat melon seeds, and my teeth will be knocked out! She opened her mouth and asked Su Yan to look at her front teeth.

The little girl is small, and even her teeth are like small white shells, Su Yan leaned over and looked at her a few times, pinched her ruddy and fair face, and quipped: "Oops! What a big one! What can I do about this, our flowers will not be able to marry in the future! ”

She was joking, Xia Hua couldn't see it, glanced at her, and said, "Sister Su Yan, don't talk about me, worry about yourself!" It's your turn after my sister talks, do you think my aunt can let you go? When the time comes, it will be whispering in your ear all day long! Look if you still have the heart to laugh at me! ”

"Flowers! What nonsense! Chunjuan glanced at Xia Hua and interrupted her.

Xia Hua pursed her lips and stopped talking.

Su Yan and Chunjuan have been playing since they were children, and when they saw her reaction, they knew that she was shy, so they pulled her aside and asked, "Sister Chunjuan, is there a match?" ”

Chunjuan's cheeks flew up two red glows, her eyes widened, and she twisted: "A-Niang has taken a fancy to one." ”

"Oh!" Su Yan nodded in a long tone and smiled slyly: "Which one is it?" I'll listen to it, and I'll probably run into it! ”

Hearing her say this, Chunjuan was very moved. She is different from Su Yan, she doesn't have so many opportunities to meet people from other villages, since she grew up a little, Ah Niang has detained her and not let her have more contact with the men next to her, because most of her understanding of those men is from Ah Niang's mouth, and now Su Yan may be able to say something else.

What's more, she and Su Yan have been playing together since childhood, and their relationship is like that of a sister, so it won't be in the way for her to know, Chunjuan bit her lip, lowered her head and said, "It's the second brother of Uncle Yang of Yao Village." ”

Yao Village is a village at the foot of the mountain, much larger than Hufeng Village, with 100 families, and the two villages often get married. Su Yan twisted her eyebrows and thought about it, and after a while, she found such a person from her memory: "Yang Yuran? ”

Chunjuan nodded: "Yes." ”

The Yang family of Yao Village can be ranked in the nearby villages, for no other reason, because his family has produced a showman, which is now the second uncle Yang. Everyone already thinks highly of readers, let alone scholars who have a reputation.

And Yang Yuran, Su Yan saw him when she went to his house to see the little sister of the Yang family in the spring of this year, a gentleman is as gentle as jade, speaks with a bit of the elegance of a scholar but is not pedantic, and there is always a shallow smile in his eyes, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and unconsciously gives birth to a little good feeling.

It is easy to guess the reason why Aunt Liu took a fancy to him, Yang Yuran participated in the county examination in early February this year, and passed the guò with the first place, and then followed by the first place pass the government exam a month ago, and now he is a child, and it is very likely to become the second talent of the Yang family in the future.

Su Yan pursed her lips and smiled under Chunjuan's eager gaze, and said sincerely: "You're a good person, are you relieved?" ”

Chunjuan's eyes were shining, and she wrung her hands and said shyly: "Not necessarily, it's not necessarily ......."

Isn't that what you're nodding your head at? Su Yan secretly said in her heart, but she didn't say it in her mouth, only said: "Well, indeed, although Yang Yuran has his own ability, his family is really hard, and my aunt may not be willing to let you suffer in the past!" ”

The sixth uncle of the Yang family is the most honest one among the brothers of the Yang family, facing the loess and turning his back to the sky and doing farm work all his life, his heart is real, and he has suffered a lot of losses from his brothers in the open and secret, and the sixth aunt of Yang went early again, leaving only two and a half sons and a young daughter who has no memory. No matter how hard life has been over the years, Uncle Yang has not remarried, and a man has just held his breath and pulled up his three children.

It's easy for Da Lang to marry a wife, but Uncle Yang Liu's body collapsed, but fortunately, Da Lang and his wife are not heartless people, for his younger brother to study, raise his sister, and take care of Yang Liu's body, even if the family can't open the pot from time to time, the couple gritted their teeth and insisted that Yang Yuran study.

For this reason, although Yang Yuran has become a child, many people still don't want to marry their daughters to his family.

What if the girl gets married, what can Yang Yuran do if she is not admitted to the show, this is not a joke.

But Aunt Liu doesn't care, she has given birth to two daughters in her life, and Chunjuan is a gentle character, if she marries someone else, Aunt Liu is afraid that her daughter will suffer. It just so happened that at this time, the Yang family fell into the eyes of Aunt Liu, her mother-in-law died early, her father-in-law was a real person, and the Dalang couple were also good, Yang Yuran was a scholar, and there was only one sister below.

It doesn't matter if the family is poor, after she gets married, she often helps and helps. Besides, who can guarantee that the Yang family will be poor for a lifetime, and there is no Yang Yuran here! Maybe it will be great in the future!

As soon as Aunt Liu summed it up, the more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and she waited for her daughter to nod and the two families would get married!

Chunjuan didn't agree two days ago because she didn't know the bottom of her heart, and she was afraid that her aunt would choose a good thing in order to make her promise to her relatives, but now when she heard Su Yan say this, she immediately nodded in her heart to this family business, but she ......

Chunjuan raised her eyes to look at Su Yan, wondering how to tell Su Yan.

***

Speaking of this, seeing Su Yan pulling her sister and the two of them together to whisper without noticing herself, Xia Hua's dark pupils turned around, and whispered to Zhong Kang: "Eh! Silly big guy! ”

Zhong Kang turned his head to look at her.

The little girl is at the age of willfulness and unreasonableness, and after the fracture, she can still speak well to Zhong Kang, which can be seen that she is a big heart, and at this moment seeing that Zhong Kang is still some distance away from her, Xia Hua actually moved her legs to move towards Zhong Kang.

The little wife was so angry with him because of her broken bones, and now Dou Xian dared to let her have another bump, seeing her moving her legs to move, he immediately took steps and walked to her.

Because of Zhong Kang's cooperation, Xia Hua bent her eyes, smiled very happily, and raised her hand to signal him: "Come here, I'll tell you something." ”

Dou Xian leaned over and leaned closer to his ears.

Xia Hua pulled his ears and lowered him a little, and while looking at Su Yan and Chunjuan, she lowered her voice and said, "Do you like Sister Su Yan?" ”

Dou Xian glanced at her and didn't speak.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia Hua was a little proud, and continued: "I can see it, you see that Sister Su Yan's eyes are exactly the same as Brother Liuzi's eyes look at Sister Su Yan, they are all shiny, don't try to lie to me!" ”

No wonder people say that children's eyes are the brightest and can see things that others can't see, Dou Xian said in his heart.

As for the sixth son, Dou Xian narrowed his eyes, he didn't stir up a ripple in the heart of his little wife in the previous life, and he won't do it in this life.

"Hmm." Dou Xian maintained his superficial stupidity and nodded quietly.

"I heard my sister say that Sister Su Yan was so angry with you that day, but I don't think it's all right now! I really broke a bone, it hurt a lot! But I don't blame you for what happened that day, I fell it myself, so we are even! Xia Hua thought to herself, I'm very sensible! You don't blame anyone else for what you do.

It just really hurts.

At this time, Dou Xian glanced at Xia Hua.

In the previous life, he didn't stay in the small mountain village for long before he took his little wife back to Chang'an, and he didn't even meet Xia Hua a few times, but he didn't expect the little girl to be so broad-minded.

Seeing Zhong Kang looking at himself, Xia Hua winked at him slyly: "Sister Su Yan and my sister get along well, the two of them always whisper, if you often come to play with me in the future, I will tell you everything they say, how about it?" Isn't this girl very atmospheric? ”

Without waiting for Dou Xian to speak, the little girl leaned on the kang and brushed her sideburns, straightened her back and said, "That's it, this girl is going to marry the eldest master in the future!" ”

Although Dou Xian didn't nod in the end, in Xia Hua's heart, they were already allied, so she graciously grabbed a large handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into his hands.

The little girl is innocent and delicate, and has some atmosphere that ordinary girls don't have, Dou Xian has a little affection for her in his heart, and turned his head to look at Su Yan fixedly-

In the previous life, she died of a blood collapse in childbirth, and the child was born without breath, a daughter, and it has been formed.

A small soft ball, he hugged them, and his whole heart was empty.

Later, he had wondered countless times what it would be like if their daughter grew up.

must be very similar to her, a petite dough who will hold his legs and shout softly and glutinously, and will pester her to make her comb her beautiful hair.

He will love her and spoil her, let her ride on his neck, take her to see lanterns, and give her the best love in the world.

When she grows up, he will pick the best husband for her, and hold her in his hand like he feels sorry.

The more he thought about it, the more it hurt in his heart, the kind of bone-eroding pain that made him unable to sleep at night.

Since his rebirth, this idea has rarely appeared again, but now, looking at Xia Hua with a sly smile and a sly face in front of him, this thought reappeared in the center of his mind-

More intense than ever.

Their daughter, if she was good, would she be like the little girl in front of her, who would pull his ear and whisper to him, and would smile as sly and cute as she did.
