Chapter 54: The River Flows
"Do you want to go see the big fat pig?" Meng Jianbo rushed to Gu Xi, looked at her expectantly, and without waiting for Gu Xi to express his position, he went to take her hand again, "Let's go, I'll take you to see it." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"If you're going to eat, you can play by yourself, huh?" Tu Bamei came over and took Gu Xi by the hand, Gu Xi raised his head and said, "Mom, I want to go." ”
"She said she wanted to go, and I'll take her." Meng Jianbo hurriedly went to pull Tu Bamei's hand, and before Tu Bamei could speak, Meng Jianbo was picked up by the third child of the Jiang family.
The third child threw Meng Jianbo out of the hospital, "Play elsewhere." ”
Except for the second child Jiang Youchun, who is single and thin, the rest of the Jiang family are quite strong, especially Jiang Laosan, who is tall and big, and has black skin like a black-faced bag, and he is not smiling, most of the children in the village dare not smile with him. Meng Jianbo is not afraid of heaven and earth, after staggering a few steps to stabilize his body, he picked up a handful of stones from the ground and smashed them at the third child.
"You little bunny...... "The third child took a step forward, "Run!" Meng Jianbo's brother rushed up and dragged him away.
When the wine and food were served, Jiang Fuhai asked the village chief to say a few words, and the village chief raised his glass and said that after recognizing the goddaughter, the two families would be married, and the days would be long, so it would be good. The village chief asked Jiang Youchun to give Tu Bamei a cup, saying that it was thanks to Tu Bamei's blessing that he was able to go to the town to do things, and told him to do a good job so as not to lose the face of the villagers.
Tu Bamei was very happy to eat this meal, and her amount of alcohol was also amazing, she didn't lose to all the men seated, her stomach was not red and her heart was not beating under half a catty of wine, and the village chief praised her as a heroine among women.
"Aunt her, let's have one." Jiang Fuhai raised his glass, "The village chief said, our two families will be related in the future, and if there is any heavy work in the family, just let the second child have a word." I don't have anything else in my family, but I still have a few strengths, so I don't have to worry about no one working. ”
Tu Ba Mei listened to this, with the support of these vigorous children of the Jiang family, who was afraid that she would dare to bully their family in the town from now on? Of course, this is all in her heart, and she will not declare it.
"Godmother, I want to eat that ......" Gu Ran was held on Aunt He's lap, she pointed to a bowl of braised pork with chopsticks, Jiang Sichun immediately got up and threw a piece of lean meat into her bowl, and when he retracted his hand, he caught a glimpse of Jiang Youchun smiling at him, and he hurriedly lowered his head and took a big bite of the rice in the bowl.
This scene made Gu Yongjun unintentionally in full view, she saw the meaning in Jiang Youchun's eyes, and on the way back, she told Tu Bamei about it, worried that the Jiang family had other plans for Gu Ran.
"What do you think?" Jianxin said: "I believe that their family will not even have this bit of self-knowledge, have you ever seen a townsman who would marry in the countryside?" Recognizing them as godparents is already giving them a lot of face. ”
Tu Bamei also said that Gu Yongjun thought too much, "What do children know, it's just a novelty." He has no sisters, just like the seventh and eighth children have no brothers and younger brothers, and it is so hot to see their second brother. Didn't you see it yesterday, they were crying for their brother. ”
Gu Yongjun didn't say much when she heard her say this, she didn't worry about anything else, mainly because she saw that the relationship between the two families was close now, and she was worried that she would be hurt and angry in the future.
Tu Ba Mei touched Gu Ran's head, her eyes fell on the longevity lock on her chest, and during the banquet, Aunt He told her that this longevity lock was still hung by her mother-in-law for the boss after giving birth to the boss. Aunt He said that when she broke the four olds, she wrapped it in oiled paper and buried it in the backyard for several years, and when the family was so poor that she couldn't open the pot, she also thought about secretly taking it away, although it was not worth a few dollars, but it was good to be able to exchange for a full meal. It's just because I thought it was handed down by the old people in the family, so I didn't want to take it away.
"You've been wearing it for so long for my sister to wear it, and I'll pay you back tomorrow morning." Tu Bamei took off the longevity lock from Gu Ran's neck, Gu Ran was angry and shouted, "This is what my godmother gave me!" Tu Bamei poked a finger on her forehead, "Then I'll send you back to your godmother's house now, and you will stay at her house in the future, and we will all go back, regardless of you." ”
Gu Ran sat on the back seat of the bicycle with a puffed face.
"I'll give it back to my sister in a few days, huh?" Tu Bamei hung up the longevity lock for Gu Xi, Gu Xi looked down and said "um" with satisfaction.
Tu Bamei squinted her eyes, and saw that Gu Ran's little face was tense, so she poked her again, "Xixi is playing with you at home all day long, and a broken lock makes her wear a fresh energy and return it to you, what do you have to be wronged?" Don't go home with us if you look like this again. ”
After the mother and daughter arrived home, they were busy, and Tu Bamei sat under the lamp as usual and started needlework.
The days passed quietly in the flying needle line.
In the blink of an eye, Tu Bamei has been contracting the tofu house for a month, and in addition to other expenses, only the share she gets is several times her monthly salary in the past. In addition to being happy, she wrapped a red envelope of five yuan per person for the tofu house, saying that even if she didn't make money in the first month of the contract, she would give them a bonus to make a good fortune, and asked them to continue to help her do a good job in the tofu house business in the future.
Everyone was very happy when she said a few words, and in the past month, Sister Jiang was entangled in the tofu room, and the original few people came to make trouble twice, and some rumors also reached Tu Bamei's ears. She took an attitude of ignoring this, and in the next ten days, Sister Jiang probably felt that it was boring to make trouble again, and the matter was a foregone conclusion, so she didn't make trouble again.
And Tu Bamei didn't come to the tofu room on time except for the first two days, and she arrived at the tofu room on time every day after that. When she got up in the morning, she boiled pig food and rushed to the tofu room, as for the sweet potatoes she ate in the morning, she changed to cook them every night before going to bed, and when she got up, she opened the pot and the sweet potatoes were still warm. She gets up early every day and goes to bed early at night, and she takes advantage of the afternoon when she sells tofu to make shoes, and she is not in a hurry to wear sandals in summer.
Tu Bamei threw herself into the tofu room, went out early and went to bed early, and Gu Yongjun and Maoer spent more time together. She had to secretly talk to Maoer in the vegetable garden every morning, and after Tu Bamei slept at night, she slipped out of the back door to date Maoer.
During this period, as the time spent with the two increased, she became more and more bold, and the two did not go elsewhere, but ran to the embankment below the large collective every night, sat on the bluestone slab by the stream, and watched the stars and the moon. Cat Er earned money to repair electrical appliances for others to buy a harmonica, she sometimes leaned her head on his shoulder, sometimes the two of them were back to back to head to head, neither spoke, she quietly listened to him play "Moscow Extra-Effectual Evening", she said that she liked to sit by the stream at night, watching the water slowly flow in front of her eyes and listening to him play this tune, it felt like the melody was floating on the water, that feeling, she liked.
I hope that from now on we will never be separated......
Under the starry sky, when Cat Ear blew out this sentence again, she hugged her knees with one hand and swept on the water with the other, and her voice was a little ethereal, "Brother Cat Er, you say, will we be separated?" ”
