Chapter 126: By the Well
Love itself is a wonderful seed. No one knows when it will be planted, and no one knows when it will take root; No one knows if it will grow into a towering tree or if it will be killed just after it sprouts.
This seed is fickle, but also infatuated. It loves both the amorous sunshine and the gentle spring breeze; I like both fertile land and gentle drizzle. But whether it's a dry desert or rooted in a cliff, it still doesn't give up. Love sometimes has nothing to do with **, just like a lotus that has been sleeping for thousands of years, the moment you meet your lover, you will definitely bloom with the most beautiful face!
After Shufen and Guangwen met, her world suddenly became very beautiful. Although the wig on her head covered her forehead, without the straw hat, the wig became her only prop - in Xiang Yu's words, this is just one of her accessories!
In fact, on the street that day, the main content of Guangwen and Shufen's chat was just the fishpond of his brother-in-law, and the fishmonger Ding Sheng of Liulong, and the topic finally fell on the girl named Ding Ping.
"When did you get engaged to her?"
"What are you engaged to? Which am I engaged to? ”
"The Ding Ping you mentioned just now, isn't it his brother who forced you to get engaged with a knife?"
"Her brother just came out of prison, I'm afraid he won't be so stupid! Why did Brother Guoqiang tell you? ”
"It's none of my brother-in-law's business, what you just said about her brother is so fierce! You really didn't like that Ding Ping? ”
"That girl is still a little doll! Besides, I was forced to go to the meeting, I have been going to have too many things at home recently, and I haven't come to my aunt's house, don't think too much, my heart is the same as before, it has never changed...... Where's your straw hat? Is that...... Wigs, right? ”
"No straw hats! It's ugly, isn't it......"
"No, it's beautiful! Laugh at a ...... Yes, it's even prettier! ”
……
When she got home, she found a mirror from under the box. This was the first time she had seen her face so clearly since she was injured, in fact, the scar on her face was not as big as she thought, and it was also further back than she touched, basically not in the position of the cheek, but between the left eye and the base of the ear; It was only at the moment when she took off the wig that she still shuddered - on the almost bald head, the scar covered almost the entire top of the head. She quickly put on her wig and used a wooden comb to hang the strand of hair on the left side down her shoulder to her chest, so that all the scars on her face and head were hidden.
I don't know why, after hearing the news that Guangwen didn't go on a blind date, Shufen's whole person changed! She is the women's director who participated in the village committee meeting again, and the second girl of the Yang family who is smiling and greeting people in the field, and even her left leg, which was a little lame, has become brisk!
Guangwen's mood became heavier and heavier. Not only was he "monitored" by his father and mother every day, but he was also really forced to get married!
Guangwen's sister's family opened a tailor shop on Liulong Street, and Ding Ping's barber shop was next to this tailor shop. Since Miss Ding Ping met this "foreign farmer", she really "longed for it", pestering Sister Guangxiu every day to ask this and that, and she didn't even want to take care of her business.
Guangxiu saw that this girl was so enthusiastic, she didn't think her mother was poor at all, and she swore that she was willing to go to the mountain in the countryside of Chahe, and she was very happy, as long as there was something delicious at home, she had to call her. came and went, and there was no word about the things that came through the door here, and Guangxiu's children over there had already called "aunt".
The weather was a little cooler, Ding Ping closed the barber shop and pestered Guangxiu to lead her to the fork of the river. This is the first time in the village, the "daughter-in-law" from the countryside came to see the household, accompanied by no brothers, sisters, sisters, sisters, and aunts, and the eldest girl followed the "eldest sister-in-law" into the door of the "mother-in-law's house".
"Yo, Ding Ping, come and sit down!" Guangwen Niang had just finished feeding the pigs, threw the bucket aside, and danced happily, "His father, Guangwen, is coming back soon, there are guests at home!" ”
Guangwen Niang hadn't been so happy for a long time, wiped her two hands on her apron, and pulled Guangxiu aside: "Just her?" Why didn't you come back with a letter earlier, the family didn't prepare anything! Without waiting for Guangxiu to answer, she was busy pouring boiling water for Ding Ping again.
Ding Ping is also a rural person, her father and mother left early and grew up with her brother Ding Sheng. That year, she was bullied by her classmates, and Ding Sheng beat her bully to a cripple in a fit of rage, lost all the fish ponds at home, and then went to prison for more than a year. After her brother went to prison, she dropped out of school. The little girl was also nimble, learning the trade from the owner of a private barber shop, and after her brother was released from prison, he revived his fish pond and opened a barber shop for her, and now she is still getting by.
Ding Sheng, who is in his thirties, has always doted on this sister, and he used to go to school because his sister was too young, and he didn't look for a daughter-in-law. Although he is a single, and he is reluctant to give up his sister in his heart, but seeing that his little sister has become a big girl, the "second-rate children" who go to the barbershop every day are all ill-intentioned, if they are not afraid of Ding Sheng's fists and feet, I don't know what will happen to the barbershop! The top priority is to find a wishful husband for his sister, and with the protection of another man, he has the heart to find a mother-in-law and inherit the Ding family!
Ding Sheng doesn't have a good impression of Guangwen, this guy who is cold to his sister says that he has a formal job, but he is obviously working as a mud leg in the countryside and has a fart job! Maybe you made some mistake and got back to that unit! Ding Ping, who still said "my brother doesn't marry my sister if I don't marry my sister" in the first half of the year, now I like the "fake university" again and again, and "even if he is a farmer with a hoe, he is willing to be a daughter-in-law in the mountains"!
Guangwen really appeared in front of her with a hoe.
He was first startled, then angrily looked at his sister. My sister has brought him many times to Liulong, saying that Ding Ping has fallen in love with him and asked him to make a decision. But Guangwen burrowed into his sugarcane field every day for a day, and his whole body was covered with blood from sugarcane leaves.
He smiled reluctantly at Ding Ping. Ding Ping, who had just sat down, stood up and bowed to Father Guangwen, who was also carrying a hoe, "Hello uncle! ”
Guangwen put down the hoe, scooped a scoop of cold water in the jar, and poured it "clatter". The pairs of eyes behind him were like sharp swords, poking him into a panic. "How do you drink cold water? It's easy to get heat stroke on a hot day, come, the hot water that my aunt just poured! Guangxiu handed over a porcelain-faced iron cup, and the handle was already rusty.
"I'm used to it, thank you!" Guangwen took the cup, put it on the stone jar, and scooped a scoop of cold water into the basin to prepare to wash his hands.
"I'll fill you hot water!" Ding Ping lifted the basin and poured out the water, burrowing into the house like a headless fly - she didn't know where the stove was!
"Ding Ping, sit down, leave him alone!" Guangxiu came over and grabbed the basin and pulled Ding Ping to the house.
Guangwen didn't wash his face at all, and picked up the bucket to fetch water again - he knew that Ding Ping was coming, so he might as well not come back! This stubborn little girl, who was angry like that in Liulong that day, why did she still come to the house? At first, he thought that his sister was lying to him by saying that she had taken a fancy to him, but he didn't expect this Nizi to really have this mind!
"I'll go with you!" Ding Ping's eyes are quick, and he got the flat shoulder before Guangwen.
Guangwen Niang looked at this "favorite daughter-in-law", she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and took Guangxiu to the stove room to prepare lunch. Father Guangwen also nodded with satisfaction, picked up the bamboo broom and went to clean up the weedy dam.
"Aren't you afraid of the heat?" Looking at the face as bright as the smile and the sun, Guangwen asked.
"If you're not afraid of the heat, I'm not afraid! All those sugar canes are among you? Is it okay to eat? ”
"I can't eat it, I've just smoked it, and it's still early! You're out of the shop for a haircut? ”
"Closed today! I'll ask Sister Guangxiu to take me to see your orchard and sugar cane field! Very few of us grow sugar cane! You're amazing! ”
"What's the matter? Don't listen to my sister blowing nonsense there, I don't have any work at all, I'm just a dirt stick! Guangwen put the bucket on the side of the well, and glanced at Ding Ping obliquely as he leaned over to scoop water. Unexpectedly, her honest confession not only didn't make her lose her temper, but her face smiled brighter.
"I already knew! You don't have to work! How free, don't look at those who have food supplies, there are few good things! Our township chief is a big official, right? When I come to get a haircut in my shop, I always dance with my hands and feet......" Ding Ping squatted down, and her red face was reflected in the clear well water.
Guangwen couldn't help but "poof", not because of the words "hands and feet", but "the township chief is a big official"!
"What are you laughing at?" Ding Ping handed the flat shoulder to Guangwen, "Don't think about it, I'm a serious person......"
Guangwen didn't speak, picked up a load of water and walked home, Ding Ping followed behind and sang the Huangmei opera in the tape-
"You plough the fields and I will weave
I'll bring water to you to water the garden......"
