Chapter 40 A Woman Grows Up
During this period of time, Aunt Fat and Lin Shuqing were afraid that Meizi would study hard and damage their bodies, so they often encouraged their two children to herd sheep or go to the field. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Xiaochuan and Meizi led the sheep to the northwest lake, the "northwest lake" is the local dialect, not really a lake, the locals and even the northerners are used to call the large fields "lake" endless crop land, the wind blows the wheat thousands of waves, like the wind blowing the lake waves of the waves, so it is vividly called the lake!
The two of them walked on the road, and almost all the people in the village who had greeted them turned to look at them and said, "Hey! Have you noticed? Lin Xiaochuan has grown into a young man now, and the little boy was so tall when he first came! "He gestured with his hand! Another said, "Look at the plums!" Now they're all big girls! It's so good-looking! I don't think there is anything like Zhuangzi around here! Capped! The Zhuang Shangren discussed this, admired and envied! Indeed, the current Lin Xiaochuan is a head taller than when he first came to Huangmiao Village, and the plum is not the same as when Xiaochuan first came to the village.
In fact, the people in the village not only have admiration and envy, but also covet the family of Meizi, just yesterday Lin Xiaochuan and Meizi went to herd sheep, Ma Shihua's grandmother came to the fat aunt's house, and carried four gifts in her hand! It is the four fruit gifts that are the local traditional door-to-door gifts to the woman's house, and it seems that this old lady is going to come to Wu's house to say goodbye! Sure enough, after Ma Shihua's grandmother entered the house, she put the gifts on the table and asked straight to the point: "He Aunt Wu!" What our two families said the year before last, how did your family think about it? She meant to tell Meizi about the baby kiss two years ago, of course the fat aunt understood but deliberately pretended to be stupid: "What happened two years ago?" "The Ma family has a bad reputation in Zhuangzi, and now the Wu family doesn't want to have anything to do with the Ma family! But it was too obvious that Ma Shihua's grandmother saw that the fat aunt was pretending to be confused and said: "Seeing that my family Huazi is about to finish school, I am about to eat imperial food and become a public family!" What do you think of him and Meizi? She couldn't wait to point it out, she just wanted to finalize the marriage of Ma Shihua and Meizi as soon as possible.
But today's Wu family is not the same as the Wu family two years ago, and today's Meizi is not the little girl who was ignorant of the world two years ago, and it is no longer yesterday's "Ameng", so the fat aunt's attitude today is very tough, and she clearly disagrees with this marriage! And things didn't slow down! Ma Shihua's grandmother still wanted to talk about it to see if it could be recovered, but the fat aunt immediately sank her face: "Don't say it, auntie!" Something to take! Don't talk about it again if you don't stop talking about it! Saying that she was about to stand up and send off the guests, Ma Shihua's grandmother didn't dare to play tricks with the fat aunt, so she had to leave the gift and leave, leaving the Wu family and walking on the street, the old lady began to shout: "Hmph! What's the big deal? Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged women have! Without your rotten egg, I wouldn't be making trough cakes! When the time comes, my Huazi will marry a fairy poppy beauty to show you! Hum! The old lady scolded all the way back to Ma's house, and when she returned home to talk about it, Ma Shihua naturally made a big fuss again!
Here, the Wu family's grandmother in Ma Shihua just left the Wu family, and the fat uncle came back from the field, and the fat aunt hurriedly told the fat uncle about it, and the fat uncle was very angry after hearing it and said: "Didn't you refuse a long time ago?" Why did you come to our house again? What is still biting and not spitting? It's simply a turtle, a king, and a turtle! The fat aunt said, "That's it!" Weasels give birth to rats, a litter is not as good as a litter! People like them still want to marry us? Dream! The fat uncle praised his wife and said, "You did the right thing!" Ah! I didn't expect the old woman to become more and more sensible! The fat aunt was also a little carried away by her wife's praise, so she said casually: "That's!" Otherwise, I can raise a girl like Meizi? I see what else you say: don't ask! Wait for Meizi to come back and ask! Did mom do it right? Who knew that the fat aunt's voice fell, and the fat uncle shook his hand and said, "You just praised you?" Your brain is squeezed by the door? You can't ask about this! You have to let us duck eggs know that she can suffocate to death! Otherwise, you're going to have a serious illness, believe it or not! The fat aunt was so frightened that she gasped with an "ah", and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands and said with a crying voice: "I believe it!" The fat uncle said, "You can't tell anyone!" Even Teacher Lin can't tell me! Otherwise, it will make people suspicious! The fat aunt covered her mouth and nodded repeatedly, oops! Why didn't you think of this stubble? The fat aunt's excitement just now came to naught in an instant, and the old couple waited at home in fear for their daughter to come back from herding sheep.
The weather is very hot, Lin Xiaochuan and Meizi are enjoying the shade under the big tree, two goats are grazing side by side by the ditch, Lin Xiaochuan stands under the big tree and stretches out his hand, holding a small tree under the big tree with one hand, like the "Mani prayer wheel" in the hands of the Tibetan Buddhist chanter, circling the small tree. Meizi sat quietly on the grassy slope at the root of the big tree, with her feet apart and her knees together, her hands on her legs, watching Lin Xiaochuan's somewhat comical movements, her bright and delicate face like a May pomegranate flower, rippling with extremely happy smiles.
The river water is clear, the fish swim leisurely in the water, the slope grass is green, the flowers are in full bloom, the blue sky is like washing, the white clouds are floating, looking at everything around, giving people a beautiful visual enjoyment. The sun is like fire, the air in the distance is churning under the sunlight, and most of the creatures are "silent" and hiding in the shade, only the sound of cicadas on the surrounding trees is one after another, mixed with the sound of frogs......
At noon, seeing that the sheep had almost eaten, Meizi and Lin Xiaochuan took the sheep back to the village early, and when they arrived at the house, Meizi and Lin Xiaochuan broke up and entered their yard, and saw that their parents were in the hall.
As soon as Meizi arrived home, she heard a knock at the door, and someone shouted, "Is there anyone?" Meizi replied, "Someone! Just about to stand up and open the door, as soon as the fat aunt heard that her daughter went to open the door, she immediately jumped up as if she had been stung by a scorpion and said, "Sit down, baby!" I'll go! I'll see who dares to ......" The fat uncle also looked a little nervous, and then he remembered outside the gate: "The Wu family's registered letter!" As soon as the fat aunt heard that it was a messenger, she immediately sat down on the chair like a deflated ball: "Go pick up the duck eggs!" Meizi ran to the door and took the letter into the house, and saw that the fat aunt was still rubbing her chest, Meizi hurriedly asked, "Mom! What is wrong with you? The fat aunt calmed down and said, "It's okay! It's just that the day is a little hot and the chest is tight! Whose letter? Meizi looked at the envelope and said, "It was sent by the postman of the commune, maybe it was a letter from the second brother!" Meizi opened it and saw that it was Meizi's second brother Yongqiang sent it from the army, and shouted: "Big! Mother! Come and see if it's really written by the second brother! The fat aunt hurriedly said, "Read it to your mother!" Read on! Plum spread her faith.
The general meaning of the second brother Yongqiang in the letter said: Hello parents! The army has just returned from the XX flood fighting and rescue, the son performed well in this rescue mission, and once again won the personal third-class merit, the army has promoted him to the position of platoon commander, now the son is all right, please rest assured! I wish my parents good health! My brother and sister are working well! My sister is learning to progress! At the same time, a certificate of meritorious service was also sent with the letter. The family was very happy, and the fat uncle said repeatedly; "Good! Feel relieved! Feel relieved! "Fat aunt is as usual Dad! Mother! clapped his hands and called out, and then walked to the gate of the Wu family with the meritorious service certificate in his hand, shaking the meritorious service certificate in his hand, and said that his son had made meritorious service when he met people, and then ran to the Lin family in the east courtyard......
Within half a day, the whole Huangmiao Village knew that Aunt Fat's second son Yongqiang had made meritorious contributions in the army, and he had been promoted!
