Most of them could be sent away smoothly by Zhao Siniang, but Zhao Yongzhong and Jiang were not at ease about leaving the little girl alone to guard the shop, and refused to leave anything.

"Dad, mother, don't worry, I can do it alone!" Zhao Siniang saw that the persuasion was fruitless, so she had to point to the guard dog that she had just brought back today, and said with poor donkey skills: "You see that there is still Xiaobai with me!" ”

I saw that the little white milk dog in the bamboo basket had been squeezed to the edge of the basket by the little milk cat living with it, and at this time it seemed to notice that someone was watching it, and raised its big wet eyes to look helplessly at Zhao Siniang's family, which seemed to be a little timid, and barked twice in a milky voice, accidentally exposing its small milk teeth that had not yet grown.

The couple looked at each other, reinforcing their determination to stay.

Well, stay if you want to stay! So Zhao Siniang honestly and unceremoniously turned her father and mother around, making the two of them sweat profusely.

However, Zhao Siniang still had a conscience, and before sending them into the house to sleep, she cooked two bowls of goat's milk for them to drink.

"Dad, mother, this is specially cooked for you to drink. Drink it while it's hot! ”

Listening to Zhao Siniang's intimate warm words, the couple was happy, and raised their heads to drink the goat's milk in the coarse porcelain bowl.

The bright moon is in the sky, and the spring is empty.

"Brother, this is specially cooked for you to drink. This goat's milk, if you boil it directly, it will smell fishy, and most people are not used to drinking it, so I added almonds to it. I'm afraid that you don't like sweets, so you don't dare to add much sugar to it. Brother, why don't you try it while it's hot? If you don't think it's sweet, there's sugar here, I'll add it to you. ”

Listening to Zhao Siniang's chattering soft words, the young man was expressionless, picked up the celadon bowl that Zhao Siniang pushed in front of him with both hands, lowered his head and took a shallow sip.

But this time, the young man still gave face, and finally drank half a bowl of goat's milk in a small sip. Compared to the delicate food on the counter, this should be considered the most moving.

Zhao Siniang couldn't help but feel a little lost when she saw that the young man had no intention of eating any more, after all, those were the results of working by herself for half a night. Of course, the beef sauce cost her a lot of effort, and the bowl of husband and wife's lungs, although she knew that the boy did not like to eat animal offal, but she took great pains to put the freshly mixed lung slices in a celadon plate, making them green and dazzling. Originally, I didn't plan to let him eat it, but I just wanted to attract his attention, so that she could take the opportunity to say a lot of words that had been prepared in advance. But who knew that people's eyes didn't stop on it for a moment, so she couldn't say anything at all.

But being able to see the boy she likes, Zhao Siniang feels very happy. So she quickly adjusted her mood and cautiously asked, "Brother, what's your name?" Can you tell me conveniently? ”

As expected, the boy did not answer.

However, Zhao Siniang was thick-skinned enough, and people ignored her, so she started to introduce herself: "My surname is Zhao, and I am the fourth among the sisters, so everyone calls me Zhao Siniang." But this is just my nickname, my big name is Zhao Hongsleeve. By the way, my second sister's name is Zhao Hongjin, don't misunderstand that my 'sleeve' is the 'embroidery' of 'splendid'. That 'sleeve' of mine, well, is the 'sleeve' of 'red sleeve fragrance'. This is because my father and he turned a lot of allusions, and finally came up with this name with a good meaning for me. ”

In fact, the names of the women of this generation of the Zhao family are all from the word "red", and the names of the girls of the old Zhao family are all related to fabrics and clothes. For example, Zhao Yuanniang's name is Zhao Hongya, and Zhao Erniang's name is Zhao Hongshang...... These names were all taken casually by Mr. Zhao, who had read some books, and the meaning of "red sleeves add fragrance" - that is absolutely none.

Speaking of this, Zhao Siniang paused, stared at the young man with flashing eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother, when I see that you are a person who has read big books, you must know 'Red Sleeves and Fragrance', right?" ”

"Red Sleeves...... Spice up? Zhao Siniang said with a dry mouth, and the young man was finally willing to talk to her.

Zhao Siniang hummed heavily, and adjusted the already ladylike posture again. After preparing all kinds of dishes tonight, she carefully dressed up and changed into the pink coat. Therefore, it is really "red sleeves" at this time, as for "adding fragrance", adding rice fragrance is also adding fragrance, right?

"So brother, you can call me ...... in the future" Red Sleeves? Zhao Siniang felt very uncomfortable with this name, hesitated for a while, and then temporarily changed her words: "Zhao Si! ”

Although Zhao Siniang has integrated well into the new life on the surface, the relatives around her in the depths of her heart are still the most familiar strangers to her from another world, and they are all "close relatives and aliens". Therefore, the secrets she hid in her heart could not be revealed in front of these relatives in any way. Only to this young man who she doesn't know can she pour out some of her unknown secrets half-truthfully, so that she can get some relief from her heavy heart.

Let's just say this "Zhao Si", her name in her previous life was "Zhao Si", but whether it was relatives or friends, they all felt that it was more convenient to call her "Zhao Si", so everyone who was familiar with her called her "Zhao Si" and "Zhao Si". After coming here, "Zhao Si" was replaced by "Si Niang", although it was just a title, she still hoped that someone would call her "Zhao Si". If she could, she wanted this person to be the one she cared about the most. So, just now, she gave up the more elegant name and chose "Zhao Si".

However, Zhao Siniang was destined to be disappointed, and in the next few days, until the young man left here, he never called her "Zhao Si", and even owed her a "hey".

"Siniang, why did you get up so early?" After Jiang woke up early that morning, he was surprised to find that the little girl was no longer on the kang, so he hurriedly pulled up Zhao Yongzhong, took his clothes and put them on, and hurried to the back kitchen to find them.

After waiting all night but not waiting for the person she wanted to wait, Zhao Siniang lost her former vitality, her white little face was clouded, and she said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Dad, mother, I'm a little tired, I want to go back and lie down for a while." ”

After that, Zhao Siniang didn't wait for her father and mother to answer, she hugged the things in her arms tightly, and staggered into the hut with vain steps, one foot high, one foot lower.

On the kang of the hut, Zhao Siniang covered her head and hid in the quilt and counted the bag of gold leaves over and over again.

It turned out that the night before, the boy had not appeared as before. Zhao Siniang, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't hold her breath anymore, so she planned to go to the yard to wait. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the back kitchen, he found this bag of gold leaves on the ground.

Zhao Siniang understood at that time, the young man was gone, and he said goodbye, no matter how she waited, he would not appear. But she was stubborn and stayed awake all night, and sat until dawn, which of course turned out to be an expected disappointment.

Nineteen pieces, plus the one he gave when we first met, was a total of twenty pieces. Is this another short-term fate similar to "two dollars"? Thinking of this, Zhao Siniang couldn't bear the blow anymore, and she couldn't get up when she lay on the kang. (To be continued.) )
