101. Tearful eyes
In May, the weather is getting hotter. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis time of year is the busy season for summer harvests. There is a proverb that 'when you are busy and six are busy, the embroidery girl gets out of bed'. When the year is good, the eldest girl to be married has to go to the field to help harvest the wheat. But this year, a lot of wheat withered and died before it was shown.
Although Cheng Linghui's family has carried water and watered it, the wheat can't be seen. The ears of wheat are not as big as the heads of flies. You don't need a sickle to harvest wheat, just squat in the ground and pick it.
Cheng Linghui was shriveling, and saw that the wind blew down the wheat that year, and her grandfather and mother took a few sisters to the field to brave the rain and sweep the wheat seeds. The young man in the robe ran from the ground wet, tucked the hem of the robe into his waist, and threw himself down to hold the wheat bundle......
Thinking about it, Cheng Linghui's eyes blurred at some point. A tear dripped down and fell on the back of her hand before she suddenly came back to her soul. When I raised my hand and touched it, my face was full of water marks. She wiped it with her hand as if she was wiping her sweat, and continued to gather wheat. Suddenly, a white and slender hand with a clean hand towel was handed to her.
Cheng Linghui's tears flowed down her cheeks like a flood that broke the embankment. She took the handkerchief and covered her face to cry. Afraid that the people who were working in other people's fields would hear it, they did not dare to cry.
"Why do you think that?" The warm voice has a hint of complaint, a hint of pity, and the tone is very similar to Chang Jiwen, but it is not Chang Jiwen.
Cheng Linghui was shocked, raised her head suddenly, and forgot to cry. The slender man standing in front of him turned out to be Sun Xinglong.
In terms of figure and appearance, Sun Xinglong is not inferior to Chang Jiwen. Over the years, Cheng Linghui has not seen him much, but she has also heard about him. He opened his own trading shop, and now he has some family assets.
He dresses well and doesn't work much. Although he is one year older than Cheng Linghui, standing in front of the haggard Cheng Linghui at the moment, he looks much younger. There is quite a bit of the demeanor of a young man who is like a jade and a son.
But Cheng Linghui was disappointed. She lowered her eyes: "How are you?" ā
Sun Xinglong didn't seem to see her haggard at all, and said with a smile: "Of course it's me." Our custom here is that when the farm is busy, the son-in-law has to go to the mother-in-law's house to help. I didn't catch up outside in the spring sowing. You can't stop showing up this summer harvest, right? As he spoke, he squatted next to Cheng Linghui, rolled up his sleeves and began to work.
Cheng Linghui handed him back the handkerchief. Sun Xinglong frowned and disgusted: "You wiped it all dirty, are you embarrassed to return it like this?" ā
Cheng Linghui was unhappy in her heart, and said angrily: "Don't forget it." After saying that, he put it on his shoulder and went on with his work.
"What about the fourth sister?" Cheng Linghui asked while scribbling on the wheat, trying to divert her mind.
Sun Xinglong's hand was very fast, and after finishing the hand in front of him, he reached for Cheng Linghui in front of him, and he didn't forget to say to Cheng Linghui: "Do your job, there are so many words." I've never seen you worry about your life like this. ā
Cheng Linghui retorted: "Your sister, don't you worry? There were a lot of things going on in the past, and I forgot to settle accounts with you. Why are you a girl? Why has the fourth sister been sullen. Even I'm annoyed? ā
Sun Xinglong's hand holding the wheat stopped, and suddenly scolded with a smile: "I have a lot of heart, and I eat a lot of fart." The old saying is true. You're just idle, snorting your teeth and eating farts. ā
Cheng Linghui threw the wheat over: "Will you talk well?" ā
Sun Xinglong was not annoyed: "I have been talking like this since I was a child, and you didn't know me on the first day?" ā
Cheng Linghui said: "Say the fourth sister." Don't talk about that useless. Believe it or not, I beat you up? He shook his fist as he spoke.
Sun Xinglong shouted: "If you have the ability, who is afraid of you." ā
"Bones itch, aren't they?" Cheng Linghui got up and went to arrest him. Sun Xinglong's personality is the complete opposite of his appearance, and he is the most slick and uninhibited. As soon as he saw Cheng Linghui coming to catch him, he got up and ran.
Cheng Linghui was sulking and had nowhere to sprinkle, so she raised her feet and chased after her.
Sun Xinglong was very tricky, and he chose a remote place under the weir to run.
Cheng Linghui chased for a long time, but didn't catch up. Looking at Sun Xinglong again, his face was not red or panting, and he stood far away and stroked Linghui squeezing his nose and making eyes.
Cheng Linghui pointed at him and shouted, "If you have the ability, you can bring it to me." ā
Sun Xinglong smiled: "The fool just passed." In the past, you still haven't been flattened? ā
Cheng Linghui said: "I promise not to flatten you." ā
Sun Xinglong didn't believe it: "Unless you turn around and stand facing that corner." Otherwise, I won't be able to say anything. The corner of the wall he was referring to was the angle formed by the two high ground weirs. If Cheng Linghui stood in that corner according to his words. If you want to turn around and hit someone, you can throw your punches to be restrained. Sun Xinglong had more time to escape.
Cheng Linghui nodded: "Okay." He sneered in his heart: "This kind of little trick, can you still trap me?" ā
Sun Xinglong really walked back. He stood behind Cheng Linghui, spreading his arms as if he wanted to hug her. Finally clenched his fist and put it down. He shouted, "I'm back." ā
Cheng Linghui turned around, restrained, and punched, knocking Sun Xinglong to the ground with one punch. Sun Xinglong shouted: "Say it's okay not to beat me." ā
Cheng Linghui bluffed and said, "I just said that I won't beat you flat." Say, why are you the fourth sister? ā
Sun Xinglong looked left and right at him: "Sanhuizi, what you say doesn't count. ā
Cheng Linghui and Sun Xinglong have been friends since childhood. Of course, I know that Sun Xinglong represents his weakness in heart. asked, "Have you begged a little wife?" ā
Sun Xinglong turned over on the ground, not caring about the dirty clothes on his body. squinted at Cheng Linghui for a moment, and didn't speak. Cheng Linghui knew that she had guessed wrong.
"Is that you arguing with her?"
Sun Xinglong still didn't speak.
Cheng Linghui slapped him: "The old man said happily, don't be like a girl who is stuffed in your stomach and makes people guess." ā
Sun Xinglong opened his mouth, and suddenly looked like a deflated ball: "The two of us are fine at all, you have to let me say, what are you talking about?" ā
Of course Cheng Linghui didn't believe it: "Okay, the fourth sister will be so unhappy?" ā
"Maybe she's mad at you?"
"......" Cheng Linghui was a little surprised.
"It's work, it's work. How old they are, and they are still as noisy as children. Sun Xinglong suddenly became a little annoyed. He got up and went back to the wheat field.
He looks like this, it would be strange if there were no ghosts.
Cheng Linghui followed back to the ground. But Sun Xinglong buried his hair as if he was picking wheat, and he looked like he was not approaching. Cheng Linghui knew that Sun Xinglong was like this, and he didn't plan to say it. What he didn't plan to say, Heavenly King Lao Tzu didn't want to pry it out of his mouth.
"Don't say it." Cheng Linghui walked to the other side and squatted down to work. She has full confidence in dealing with Sun Xinglong. Didn't you say it? I don't want to ask. Under normal circumstances, after less than a quarter of an hour, Sun Xinglong will come over by himself. Pour beans into the bamboo tube what I didn't want to say, and say it in one go.
Sure enough, Sun Xinglong was doing his work, and he didn't know when he came over. Cheng Linghui deliberately ignored him. Sun Xinglong couldn't help it: "Sanhui, can you talk to me?" It's boring to dry the wheat like this. ā
Cheng Linghui turned her face away and moved to the side. Continue to ignore him.
Sun Xinglong surrendered: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you." You don't care if you get angry. ā
Cheng Linghui said: "Want to say it? I don't want to hear it. ā
"Three Wisdom, Three Wisdom." Sun Xinglong threw his hand at her: "You two guys are watching, don't make trouble." White makes them laugh. I'll tell you the truth. I'm doing well with your fourth sister. You only saw her angry, but didn't you see the satin she was wearing and the hairpin on her head? I've stopped farming for a long time. I was reluctant to let her work and sharpen her hands. I also bought her a girl to call. ā
Cheng Linghui thought about it, it seemed that the fourth sister's dress was very good. There's really a girl by her side. But when she came back this time, when the fourth sister saw her, her nose was not a nose, her eyes were not eyes, and she had a lot of things to do, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Sun Xinglong understands Cheng Linghui in the same way that Cheng Linghui understands him. Seeing Cheng Linghui's appearance, she knew that she believed in seven or eight points, and then said: "The fourth sister is unhappy, because she is jealous of you." ā
"Me?" Cheng Linghui wondered: "What do I have to be jealous of?" ā
Sun Xinglong wrinkled the bridge of his straight nose: "Don't talk about the fourth sister, if I weren't for your buddy, I would be jealous of you." You see, you can read and kung fu. That is the 'civil and military sang' sung in the play. You have traveled north and south, and you have seen more than men. The same crawled out of the womb. The other sisters had to wrap their little feet when they were young, and when they were older, they would do laundry, cooking, and housework. If you get married, you have to take care of your children. has been like a donkey all his life, and he can only circle around the pot. In such a comparison, how much do you say you are hated? ā
"Would I like to?" Cheng Linghui's voice suddenly became louder. The people who didn't care about the work in the fields heard the sound and looked this way. Tears flowed down at the same time, crying: "So you think so, do you still have a conscience?" Would I like to be what I am now? Why don't you be jealous when you call me like a man? In the middle of the night, someone called the door in the dark light, and didn't ask me to open the door? Why don't you go? You are big girls, you know shame and ugliness, and you know fear. I don't know what's going on? Supporting the plow and grasping the rake, going up the mountain and down the river, which is not relying on me? Why aren't you jealous......"
She cried and screamed, and she just felt that she had never been so wronged. My chest was suffocating as if it was going to explode.
"Sanhui, Sanhui......" Sun Xinglong never thought that Cheng Linghui's reaction would be so big. I was so anxious for a while: "Don't you cry...... okay" Somehow, watching Cheng Linghui crying, his throat seemed to be blocked with old cotton. The circles under his eyes turned red: "Don't cry......
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil, and he tried to soothe the haggard and weeping man in front of him, but he didn't know what to do. I could only hold her tightly in my arms and cry with her.
He Kun originally saw Cheng Linghui crying suddenly, and raised his fist to come over to teach Sun Xinglong, who angered his 'second brother'. Who knew that before he walked up to the two, he saw Sun Xinglong suddenly hugging Cheng Linghui into his arms. Crying like a red-eyed rabbit.
He Kun was originally straightforward, but he was stunned for a while, and his brain couldn't turn a corner. Cheng Linghui is a woman, he has known it for a long time. The key is that Sun Xinglong is a man and Cheng Linghui's brother-in-law. This brother-in-law hugged his sister-in-law and cried? He Kun shook his head, feeling that it was wrong for him to think so.
In his heart, Cheng Linghui is not an ordinary person, how can he look at it with the eyes of ordinary people.
But it's still not right, Cheng Linghui married Chang Jiwen. That is Chang Jiwen's wife. Shouldn't she be closer to Chang Jiwen? If she is aggrieved and wants to cry, shouldn't Chang Jiwen be the first person to hug? How old is this Sun Xinglong?
Anyway, Yi He Kun's brain couldn't figure it out. He decided to go back and ask Hua Ruyan. When I turned around, I saw the coachman standing with the people working in other people's fields and watching the excitement. I couldn't help but be angry in my heart, and shouted: "You don't work hard, what are you doing there?" ā
He Kun was very vicious, and when the onlookers saw that he was angry, they immediately dispersed in fright. The coachman also had to admit that he was unlucky. I had to keep working.
Lu Xiaoxiao, the coachman, was originally a family member of Lu Gongjin's mansion. The seven-rank official at the prime minister's door, the servants of the high-ranking families are much more noble than ordinary people. Although I also work in Lu Mansion, I have never been on the ground three days a day like this.
But there is no way, who let himself follow a half-crazy and not stupid master? Together with Lu Xiaoxiao's two girls, these two girls said that since they called Chengjiazhuang, they have been reduced from the subordinates of the second-grade adults to the ordinary people in the countryside. What can you do if you don't accept your fate?
Cheng Linghui didn't know how long she had been crying. It was already dusk when I came back to my senses. The evening wind blows away the heat of the day, bringing with it a refreshing breeze.
Sun Xinglong's eyes were also swollen from crying.
The two sat side by side on the ridge. In front of him were flowers like smoke, and I didn't know when I sent water and dry food. Sun Xinglong poured a bowl of water and handed it to Cheng Linghui. Cheng Linghui took a sip in his hand, and the tears couldn't stop falling again.
Sun Xinglong looked at her, and his eyes were full of water.
Cheng Linghui drank the water in the bowl in one go, wiped a handful of tears and asked, "What are you crying about?" ā
Sun Xinglong lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse: "I don't know." I can't help but want to cry when I see you crying. I feel terrible. ā
"Pretentious." Cheng Linghui looked at the clouds in the western sky: "I don't know where the fifth master has fallen?" I miss him so much. ā
Sun Xinglong's hand was raised, as if he wanted to hold her hand, but finally slipped past Cheng Linghui's hand: "The fifth master is not here, isn't there still me?" As long as you are willing, I am willing to accompany you for the rest of my life. ā
Cheng Linghui shook her head: "Don't." You accompany me, the fourth sister promises, and the neighbors will laugh off their big teeth. ā
Sun Xinglong was a little anxious: "Why do you care so much about others in your own life?" ā
Cheng Linghui looked at him, reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you, good brother." After speaking, he stood up and stretched his limbs towards the sky: "It's getting dark, it's time to go home." After crying this scene, the depression in my chest for half a year finally dissipated.
Sun Xinglong looked at her, his face was surprisingly ugly. But Cheng Linghui didn't look back at him at all, and said since ancient times: "You have to find a place to wash your face." When I go back like this, my grandmother will be worried when she sees it. "She obviously has nothing to say, and her grandmother is already blind, how can she see her appearance?
Sun Xinglong stood up and patted the dirt on his body: "Then you can go back." It's time for me to go, too. ā
Cheng Linghui raised her hand and waved: "Go back and have a good time with the fourth sister, don't let grandma and mother worry about it." As he spoke, he walked towards the ground, leaving only Sun Xinglong's back.
Sun Xinglong shouted in a low voice: "Sanhui ......" Cheng Linghui didn't hear it at all.
After a long time, he said loudly to Cheng Linghui, who had already walked away: "I know." You reassure grandma and mother that I will live a good life with my fourth sister. As soon as he turned around, he couldn't help but have a sour nose. He slapped himself hard: "Sun Xinglong, you are not a thing." ā
The slap was so hard that it hurt him so much that he grinned and burst into tears. (To be continued.) )
