Chapter 188: Great-Mother's Abacus

On the other hand, Chen Yifei waited left and right, and he didn't see Su Jinchen come back, he was bored leaning on the kang to read, and he fell asleep after watching it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the time he woke up again, the sun had already set outside the window.

There was only a faint glow in the sky, and it was impossible to say whether it was warm or cold for a while.

He felt a little thirsty, and when he was about to call Su Jinchen to pour a glass of water to drink, he realized that the room was empty except for him.

He sat up sullenly, and caught a glimpse of her half-made cloth shoes before leaving, still lying quietly in the basket.

She hasn't come back yet......

Somehow, this realization inexplicably irritated him.

In fact, in the past, the two lived in the same courtyard, and such a situation is not uncommon.

He was sometimes so busy with official business that the two might not even see each other for a few days.

Can ...... now It seems to be different from then.

Maybe it's because she's used to these days, whether it's day or night, as long as she makes a slight sound, she can immediately appear by her side; Maybe it was because he was exiled to this small village where he was unfamiliar, and he had unconsciously regarded her as a companion who depended on each other; Maybe it's just because ...... She became more and more cheerful and more casual, but he looked at her more and more unpleasantly, anyway, such a frustrated and angry mood even he couldn't say why-

But in any case, it is too much and too much to leave him alone at home as a sick person!

Chen Yifei put on his boots indignantly, walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured water.

If you don't come back, you won't come back, who can't live without her!

He shook the teapot's hand for a moment.

Only then did I remember: I was too bored when I waited for her before...... He had already drunk all the water.

Chen Yifei sighed resignedly, picked up the teapot and turned around to go outside.

"Let's put it all here." Aunt Zeng's voice came from the kitchen.

"Hey." Zeng Dachuan piled the last bundle of firewood into the corner, raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his head.

"Why did you chop so much today, this kitchen can't be stacked."

"Hehe," Zeng Dachuan scratched his head embarrassedly, "I'm afraid that I'm not at home sometimes, and Ah Xun will use firewood...... Inconvenience. ”

"Hmm-" Aunt Zeng dragged out her voice and pretended to be dissatisfied, "You know that Ah Xun is inconvenient, and your mother has never seen you worry about chopping wood every day." ”

Zeng Dachuan's face suddenly rose to the base of his neck, and Ai Ai said, "A-Niang...... Iβ€”I didn't mean that. I saw that Ah Xun's body was too weak, so I thought about giving it to her...... I'll split more, and you can save trouble when you use it......"

Aunt Zeng laughed out loud, "A-Niang didn't blame you, what are you stammering." My stupid boy finally opened his mind and knew that he was distressed, and it was too late for A-Niang to be happy. ”

Zeng Dachuan was stunned and looked at his mother dumbfounded. "A-Niang-"

"You tell Ah Niang the truth," Aunt Zeng grabbed her son's sleeve, her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Do you like Ah Xun very much in your heart?" ”

"Auntie, where do you want to go!" Zeng Dachuan's face was as red as a red cloth, and he hurriedly denied it, "There is nothing at all...... I just saw that she was a girl, and she could run away with her master's family regardless of her own life, and I was ...... I admire her very much......"

"Admire?" Aunt Zeng raised her eyebrows disappreciably, "Is this admiration or joy...... Do you know the difference in your heart? ”

Zeng Dachuan pursed his lips and didn't say anything for a long time.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the other party continued, "Ah Xun, that girl, needless to say if she looks good, the most rare thing is that she is docile, diligent and capable, not to mention you, even Ah Niang likes it when she sees it...... You really haven't been thinking about it? ”

Zeng Dachuan sighed, and said leisurely after a while, "A-Niang...... It's not that you don't know that Ah Xun and Brother Chen are from the capital...... How could she want to stay in a place like ours? Besides, she and Brother Chenβ€”" he paused, "and I am glad to see her all the time. Others, but unthinkable. ”

"Why can't you think about it?" Aunt Zeng said disapprerovingly, "Isn't she Mr. Chen's girl?" She paused, lowered her voice, "Could it be that you think they ...... Probably not...... I see that they are even far away from the quilt on the kang, even if they are normal, they don't-"

"Auntie! The more you say it, the more outrageous it becomes! Zeng Dachuan's face became redder and redder, and he hurriedly interrupted, "Ah Xun is a good girl, don't talk about her like that......"

"A-Niang didn't say that she was bad, you see that you are nervous, and she said that she doesn't like people!"

"I ...... No...... I'm ......"

"Okay, A-Niang won't know about you! Playing a child is a piece of wood, and his mouth is stupid, even if he really sees someone he likes, he doesn't dare to fight for it. After Aunt Zeng laughed, she couldn't help but say with a straight face, "A manly husband, since he meets a girl he likes, he should say it generously, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, so that others will know, and it will not be in vain for you to think about it." Besides, although Ah Xun is an errand boy in a big family, she is a subordinate person in the final analysis, and she is not young, how can there be any reason not to plan for herself? Maybe she thinks you're a good person, but maybe she's willing to agree! ”

"This ......" Zeng Dachuan already had a good impression of Su Jinchen, and was encouraged by his mother, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he hesitated with a red face, "A-Niang...... Do you really think Ah Xun can be willing? After all, Brother Chen's background and character, I ...... I'm sure I can't compare. ”

"You kid, you're stupid, you're so stupid!" Aunt Zeng poked her son's head hard, hating that iron is not steel, "Think about it, what kind of person is Mr. Chen!" No matter how good his background is and how handsome he looks, how much does it have to do with Ah Xun? Could it be that the young master of a large family would marry her a little girl? It's better to make a small ...... for people But is that little wife so easy to do? Not to mention far away, the girl from your Uncle Shi's family in our village was not also a flower-like character in the past? Back then, he coveted the comfortable life of the big family, and he wanted to be a concubine for the son of a high-ranking person...... The result? Isn't it still dead at a young age? ”

Aunt Zeng shook her head regretfully, "As the saying goes, I'd rather drink open-eyebrow porridge than eat sorrowful eyebrow rice." Ah Xun is a smart and good boy, and he won't not understand the doorway here - instead of going into that high-ranking family and living aggrieved for a lifetime, how can it be better to find a down-to-earth man who knows cold and hot? No matter how hard this day is, it is also your own master. ”
