"Who?" It was Jiang Hongxiang's voice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I, Hou Yuanwen, looking for pomegranates."
"What are you looking for pomegranates? She was already asleep. Jiang Hongxiang heard that it was Hou Yuanwen, and remembered that when he met Hou Yuanwen in the afternoon, he stared at the pomegranate with straight eyes, and his heart was disgusted.
"It's still early, why did you fall asleep? Open the door, I have something important to say to her. ā
The pomegranate who came out later heard that it was Hou Yuanwen, and whispered to Jiang Hongxiang: "No matter what happens, since you are here, you have to face it, you can't hide from it, it's okay, I'll see what he wants to do!"
Jiang Hongxiang went and opened the door.
The stone flashed to the side, and Hou Yuanwen squeezed in.
Jiang Hongxiang pretended not to see the stone and closed the door.
"Say it! What's important? ā
Pomegranate obviously didn't want Hou Yuanwen to enter the hall, so he stood in the courtyard and talked.
When Hou Yuanwen entered the courtyard, what he saw were pomegranates that had taken a bath, had long hair, were wearing clean clothes, looked lazy, and there were pomegranate flowers blooming red all over the yard.
Hou Yuanwen was stunned for a while, a girl with such a good appearance and such a temperament, let alone in the countryside, is rare even in the city.
The stone has no eyes, but he was fortunate enough to pick up the cheap, Hou Yuanwen laughed wildly in his heart.
"Hou Yuanwen, what the hell is going on with you, just say it quickly!" Jiang Hongxiang saw Hou Yuanwen looking at the pomegranate in a daze, very uncomfortable, and said impatiently, if it weren't for his special status now, he would have thrown him out. This kind of person, it is superfluous to say a word to him.
"I want to talk to Pomegranate alone."
"No, if you have something to say, just leave without saying it." Jiang Hongxiang tried his best to endure it.
Hou Yuanwen squinted at Jiang Hongxiang, "You are just a labor re-education person living in Pomegranate's house, I have nothing to do with you when I talk to Pomegranate, I respect you because of Pomegranate, don't lose sight of your identity!" ā
"Jiang Hongxiang lives in my house, he is a member of my family, I treat him as my own brother, my business is his business, he has the right to ask me about anything, the people who come to my house, whoever does not respect him, I can let him go out immediately."
Hou Yuanwen changed his smiling face, "Look, Pomegranate, you are such a beautiful little girl, why do you speak so coldly?" I have a few words to say to you in private, can you say a few words alone? ā
"I said just now, Jiang Hongxiang is my only relative now, my brother, I don't have any secrets from him, you can say whatever you want, don't say it, I'm going to rest."
Pomegranate said and was about to go to the hall.
Hou Yuanwen also followed the pomegranate inside.
When they arrived at the hall, Shi Xiang, Qin Yanfang and Qin Xiaojuan were also there, and Hou Yuanwen was a little surprised.
"Pomegranate, your house is very lively!"
Shi Xiang nodded to Hou Yuanwen, while Qin Xiaojuan and Qin Yanfang glanced at him and continued to do the needlework in their hands.
Pomegranate and Jiang Hongxiang each sat down, and there were no extra stools in the room.
Hou Yuanwen stood there awkwardly, he rubbed his hands, "Pomegranate, I really have something important to tell you." ā
Pomegranate lowered her head and embroidered her own insole, "If you have something, just say it!" You're a big man, how can you grind and chirp. ā
"Pomegranate, can we talk about it alone?"
Qin Yanfang said: "Hou Yuanwen, what do you want to say unsightly?" You can't say it to our face. ā
"That's right! If there is anything that is not visible, I have to say it alone. Jiang Hongxiang said.
Hou Yuanwen hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind and nodded: "Okay, this is not something unseemly, just say it."
Hou Yuanwen glanced at the people in the house, as the son of the village party secretary, as a worker who was about to eat the national grain, no one in the village looked down on him, and they all smiled at him with a flattering smile, but here, he was ignored by them, and he didn't even have a stool. Hou Yuanwen didn't know that Pomegranate would be so cold to him, perhaps, it was because Shi and her divorced and engaged to his sister, so Pomegranate held a grudge against his family, yes, it must be so, it doesn't matter, if you say the following words, Pomegranate will change her attitude towards him.
Hou Yuanwen coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Pomegranate, I know that you have been in poor health since you were a child, and you have to work the farm, I want to help you find a job in the village."
Sure enough, when everyone heard this, they all raised their heads to look at Hou Yuanwen, Hou Yuanwen was proud, and he knew that no one would not be tempted by such conditions.
But Hou Yuanwen didn't feel proud for long, Pomegranate replied: "Hou Yuanwen, I'm just a rural girl, I like to stay in the village, it's not difficult for me to do farm work, I didn't do it before, it's because my father can do the work of two people alone, so I don't need to do it, now that my father is gone, I am not much worse than others in farm work, Qin Yanfang They are all people in the same team as me, you ask them, how do I work."
Nothing to do is either a traitor or a thief, Jiang Hongxiang is very satisfied with Pomegranate's answer, in the past two months, he has been very satisfied with what Pomegranate has done, she is not like a person who has not seen the world with shallow eyelids. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Yanfang and the others were a little sorry for Pomegranate's refusal just now, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that Hou Yuanwen must have his purpose in suddenly showing favor to Pomegranate, so Pomegranate's refusal was also very wise.
Hou Yuanwen never imagined that Pomegranate would refuse him without hesitation. That's a great thing that many people can't ask for! How glorious it was to be a worker at that time!
"Why? Pomegranate, looking for a job in the city, idle and decent, not everyone has such an opportunity. ā
"Thank you, Hou Yuanwen, this is indeed a good thing, but I am a bitter life, and I am not blessed to suffer such a good thing, you should leave such a good opportunity to other girls!"
"I just want to leave you with such an opportunity, if you don't have the blessing to suffer, others will not have the blessing to suffer."
"But I don't want to take it!" With such a direct refusal, he can give up!
Hou Yuanwen was very frustrated, he had never been frustrated, he came to the pomegranate, he was full of confidence, because with the conditions he offered, no one could refuse, but the pomegranate refused, which made him unable to say the next words, the pomegranate is not only excellent, but also has a good brain, she must not accept him, so she does not accept the benefits he gave her. Why? Is it because his sister snatched the stone? But his conditions are much stronger than the stone, and if she accepts him, it can be regarded as saving face because of the loss of the stone, and it is also a good and powerful response to the fingers of the villagers.
