The air of early spring is still slightly cool, blowing on the face with a slight coolness.

Apricot blossoms as usual, sitting in the yard washing clothes, this is a change of season, the clothes that have been put for a long time have to be taken out and washed, otherwise they will wear a musty smell.

There is still some cold cold water that makes Xinghua's slender fingers freeze red, and she puts it to her mouth from time to time to breathe before she can continue to wash.

As soon as the clothes were dried, Chen came back with a basket containing the last pea tips, which were extremely delicious to eat noodles or soup, and their family loved to eat them.

Seeing that Xinghua had dried the clothes in a yard, Chen's face was filled with a smile of relief, and then when he saw Xinghua's red fingers, his heart instantly hurt, and he hurriedly put down the basket, took Xinghua's hand and put it under his armpit, and covered her.

With a distressed reproach in his mouth, he said, "Look at you Nizi, you don't know how to boil some hot water...... How can you stand the cold spring well water?! ”

Xinghua smiled softly: "Mother, I will go to the river to wash in the future, the water in the river is warm!" ”

Chen glared at her, really thinking that this child was also to share his worries, thinking about the gossip in the village, Chen sighed secretly in his heart.

However, the loss is also a matter of an instant, and now that you have money, you must find a good family for Xinghua, and raise your eyebrows!

Chen, who plans to do so, has recently been stunned to exercise the cooking skills of apricot blossoms, and the female celebrity has made two sets of new clothes for her, in order to dress the girl up beautifully and recruit a good son-in-law.

Xinghua is also helpless about this, this family affair has always been the order of her parents, and the words of the matchmaker are not something she can interject, so she can only be secretly anxious.

Xu is a result of Chen's "devil training", or maybe Xinghua has finally been seen after so many years, in short, recently, as long as Xinghua goes to the village river to wash clothes, there are many young men "passing by" from time to time.

That gaze glanced at the beautiful back of the river, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yo. Ling boy, I'm tired of reading, come out and relax! ”

Lu Ling, who came out for a walk, walked slowly and came across the name of the village that came out to do work. They all smiled and said hello.

Lu Ling responded with a smile and continued to walk forward.

Unconsciously walked to the river, and the warm spring light sprinkled on the sparkling and surface, shining with dazzling light.

Exhaled a breath, and a trace of warmth crossed his calm eyes. He remembered many things from his childhood at the river......

Thinking that when he was seven years old, he was caught by his father because he secretly ran into the river to swim, and took back the confession book that he copied a hundred times, and finally his hands were shaking and he couldn't hold the pen.

Suddenly, a picture with the youthfulness and cuteness unique to boys and girls came into view.

On the laundry stone by the river not far away, a woman in a moon-white spring shirt stood gracefully. The gentle breeze lifted the ends of the girl's black hair, fluttering in the air, just like the worried heart of the shy boy opposite.

Squinting slightly, the woman's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be somewhat familiar......

After seeing who it was, Lu Ling's eyes sank, pursed his lips, straightened his robe, and Lu Ling walked over quickly.

The roots of the apricot blossom ears are slightly red, a pair of rippling apricot eyes are full of surprise, and the fingers are uneasy to twist the corners of the clothes.

"Sister Xinghua. I...... My heart goes for you! I...... I'll be good to you! Believe me, I will not let you be wronged in the future, are you willing...... Will you marry me? ”

With affectionate and expectant words, Wen Xi was directly stunned. What's going on, isn't this person going to ruin her reputation?! It's so confusing!

Xinghua's face was red with shame, anger appeared in Xinghua's eyes, and she was about to get angry with her washed clothes, when a warm and jade-like man's voice interjected: "I don't want to!" ”

The two were stunned. followed the sound, but saw a man with some faces walking over slowly, and the two were a little stunned for a while.

It's no wonder that they didn't recognize it for a while, Lu Ling himself has been studying, going to school, spending too little time with everyone, and hardly walking around the village.

And in recent years, Lu Ling has changed a lot, his whole body has increased a lot, and his face has become more mature, and it is inevitable that he will not be recognized immediately.

With a chuckle on his face, Lu Ling walked over and whispered to Xinghua: "Sister Xinghua, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"

Xinghua's eyes were confused for a moment, and she looked at the two little tiger teeth that Lu Ling smiled and revealed, and then she remembered.

"Ahh You're a little tiger! ”

Lu Ling's ears turned red, and he said to Xinghua with some embarrassment: "Sister Xinghua, don't call me Xiaohu, let people listen, the prestige of Master Xiucai is gone!"

Xinghua laughed out loud and said funny: "Yes!" The little tiger tooth who cried his nose back then has now become a talented man! In this way, the little girl is polite here~"

Xinghua deliberately pretended to be blessed, and Lu Ling looked at the soft and white neck, and his eyes darkened slightly.

Xinghua bowed for a moment and straightened up, looking at him with a smile.

The little brother who has been ignored next to him is not happy, his good things have been disturbed, not to mention, and he has been completely ignored, which is really depressing.

At that moment, he barely squeezed out a smile, "Xiaohu, you come out for a walk, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have become outstanding!" ”

Lu Ling smiled slightly on his lips, looked at the man who was slightly shorter than himself, raised his eyebrows and said: "Tian family boy, Xiaohu is not something you can shout, although you remember our previous affection, but a talented master, you still have to shout."

The faint words made people feel sarcastic, and the Tian family's boy choked, and instantly became as blue as constipation.

Anger appeared on the young man's face, but because Xinghua was not good in front of him, he had to endure it and squeeze out a sentence with difficulty: "Lu Ling, you really love to laugh."

Lu Ling glanced at him with a smile and chuckled, "Yes, I'm joking."

After speaking, he ignored this person anymore, turned his head to Xinghua and said, "Sister Xinghua, are you going back?" Exactly, let's be together. ”

Xinghua herself was very unhappy with this Tian family kid who offended her, and when Lu Ling appeared to relieve the siege, she naturally went down the steps, so she said very happily: "Okay, Brother Xiaohu, let's go!"

After speaking, he left first, Lu Ling glanced at the Tian family kid lightly, and successfully stopped the footsteps he wanted to keep.

I could only watch the two leave side by side with an unwilling face.

Xinghua carried the washed clothes and walked all the way with her head down. Lu Ling quickly followed, walking beside her, both of them were speechless, and there was an eerie silence.

Ultimately. Lu Ling saw that he was almost home, so he had to say, "Sister Xinghua, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you?"

Xinghua smiled lightly at the banquet, pursed her lips and said, "I'm doing well." You know the sister-in-law of the Xia family next door to us, thanks to her, our family's life is getting better and better! ”

Lu Ling smiled lightly, he couldn't remember who Xia Mei was, after being away from home for so long, many people in the village didn't remember what she looked like.

But since Xinghua said it, it is not impossible to get to know each other in the future.

Xinghua said a few words about Xia Mei's goodness, then raised her head and asked curiously, "What about you?" Brother Xiaohu, you were admitted to Xiucai. I've heard you've been to the Castle?! ”

Lu Ling smiled and said, "Where have you ever been to Wangcheng, it's just to go to Yongcheng, which is affiliated to Qingshan Town, for the exam."

Xinghua's face turned red, and she said in a low voice: "I listened to them......"

Lu Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of imperceptible pampering, and explained: "However, Yongcheng is also one of the most prosperous cities, the street can accommodate four carriages running at the same time, and there are all kinds of goods everywhere, which is extremely lively."

In just a few words, the scene of the prosperous place appeared in front of the apricot blossoms, as if they were there.

Lu Ling chuckled, "What." Sister Xinghua wants to take a look? ”

Originally, this is a normal thing, like Xinghua, it is a young and beautiful girl, and it is inevitable to yearn for glory.

But unexpectedly, Xinghua shook her head slightly. said lightly: "No, the prosperity there is not for me, I don't like it."

Lu Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked with some curiosity, "Oh?" Why did Sister Xinghua say this?! ”

Xinghua glanced at him and chuckled: "I'm just talking about it, just thinking about it...... Well...... The people there. There is nothing different from us, what is there to envy? ”

When Lu Ling heard this, he shook his head and smiled, probably because he thought that Xinghua had never seen it, so he didn't understand, so he didn't discuss it anymore.

Looking up, he found that he had arrived at the door of Chen's house, so Lu Ling said goodbye and turned to leave.

Neither of them thought that when they recalled this day's joke in the future, it would be so embarrassing.

As soon as the sun set on the mountain, Xia Mei and the two little girls arrived at the door of the house, and told them to be careful, so that after resting, Xia Mei went home.

At the door of the house, she met Lu Ling, who happened to come back, Xia Mei greeted him, and naturally walked into the Wu family's courtyard and closed the courtyard door.

A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Ling's eyes, he walked into the house and said to Su Shi, who was busy in the kitchen, "Mother, I'm back."

Su Shi looked up at him, and said with a soft smile: "Ling'er is back, take a rest, we will eat immediately, your brother is back, you can fetch him water, wash your face and wash your hands."

Lu Ling responded with a smile, then fetched water and asked, "Mother, how can there be a woman in the small courtyard of the Wu family next door?" ”

Su Shi lit the fire for a moment, and immediately reacted to who he was talking about, so he smiled and said: "What woman, you should call her sister-in-law, that is the newly married daughter-in-law of your Wu brother, it has only been a few months, you are still preparing for the exam, naturally I don't know."

Lu Ling nodded, for some reason he was suddenly very interested, the woman seemed to have a neat and confident temperament, as if she was not an ordinary woman, so she asked more: "That woman is the daughter of the He family?" Why don't I have any images? ”

Su Shi didn't feel abnormal, but explained casually: "That woman was originally the daughter-in-law of the Tang family at the end of the village, and her husband went to become a widow, and she also brought a child, which is the child who came to our house today, and your brother Wu Song couldn't find a good marriage because of the scar on his face, so the two got married."

Lu Ling knew it, and he also felt pity for the scar on the face of the Wu family's brother.

However, "Is that woman the one next door to Sister Xinghua?" ”

Su Shi nodded, but he was suddenly stunned, why did this kid suddenly call Sister Xinghua......

glanced back, but found that he was laughing with his youngest son, his face was impermanent, Su Shi chuckled in his heart, feeling that he must be too careful, so he continued to be busy serving rice.

Since Lu Ling came back that day, Xia Mei knew that there was a Xiucai living next door, Tang Bao had always been close to Tiezhu, and he often ran next door, Xia Mei thought that it would be good if Xiucai taught a few words.

So I also got closer to the Su family.

"Sister Su, help me take a look, what else is missing from this Tang Bao?"

In a blink of an eye, it was time to send Tang Bao to the school tomorrow, Xia Mei was even more excited than Tang Bao, and she didn't stop after being busy.

Thinking that the Su family taught a showman, he hurriedly went over to learn the scriptures, and pulled the Su family to talk for a long time, and the Su family covered his lips and chuckled.

Xia Mei is like this, just like she was back then.

After laughing, Su Shi carefully explained the matters to be paid attention to, the things to be prepared, when to go to school, when to get out of school, even the master knows his preferences well, I think I have spent a lot of effort to think about it over the years!

Lu Ling felt thirsty and was about to come out to drink a glass of water, so he saw that the daughter-in-law of the elder brother of the Wu family was talking happily with his mother-in-law, and secretly raised his eyebrows.

When Su Shi saw his son come out, he smiled at him and said, "Ling'er, come and meet your sister-in-law Xia!"

Lu Ling came over with a smile and bowed his hand: "Lu Ling has seen Sister-in-law Xia."

Xia Mei's eyes flashed with satisfaction, this show is different, her temperament is good, she looks like her mother, elegant and easy-going, and she is extremely comfortable to look at.

smiled and saw the ceremony, sat down and said with a smile: "Sister Su, Ling Er is really good-looking, and she is a showman, but she is really a dragon and phoenix among people!"

Su Shi was happy in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "How can it be as powerful as you say, it's just that I read some books and have better luck."

After a few polite words, Su Shi pulled Lu Ling and said, "Ling'er, your sister-in-law's son Tang Bao will go to school tomorrow, you can teach some words of encouragement!"

Lu Ling smiled and nodded, the kid who often plays at home, he also likes it, and it is fun to teach it.

Coming back from next door, Xia Mei felt a little relieved, thought about it, and called Tang Bao over again to check her homework, so as not to fail the assessment in front of the master tomorrow.

Wu Song looked at Xia Mei's nervous appearance and was a little helpless, she was just too nervous, so she persuaded loudly: "Lady, you can rest assured, Tang Bao has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and his homework has never been left behind, and the master will definitely be very satisfied tomorrow."

Tang Bao also nodded obediently, for fear that his mother would change her mind and not let him go to school, you must know that he has been looking forward to it for a long time!

Looking at the back of Tang Bao running out, Xia Mei suddenly felt a little sentimental in her heart, "Unconsciously, Tang Bao has reached the age of going to school...... It's so fast......"

Wu Song smiled dotingly: "Lady, you still have me, I will accompany you!"

Xia Mei came back to her senses, her face turned red, and she glared at him coquettishly, and the sadness in her heart was hard to give up, but it was diluted a little.

Early in the morning of the second day, Tang Bao was taken by Xia Mei, carrying a small schoolbag on his back, and excitedly embarked on the road to study.

PS: These two days are outside, even later, please don't abandon ......::>_
