Chapter Seventy-Two: Intentions
Seeing a few people and saying hello, Yuan Qing walked into the small courtyard. The fragrance of rice came from the side, Xu is rice is almost steamed, the drying rack next to the fence is drying the clothes that the old man has just washed, the hen bought a few days ago has laid another egg, is sitting in the chicken nest, seems to be guarding the eggs it has just laid are still warm, Yuan Qing planted in the yard of the melon seedlings, has emerged, the small courtyard from the first time of the desolate situation, slowly into this quite human country courtyard.
Walking into the kitchen, a relatively old man, his hair is half black and half white, he looks energetic, he is cutting meat on the board, and he is going to invite Xiao Mo and his brother to come over for dinner tonight.
"Uncle Zhang, the dishes are here, and they are washed." Yuan Qing said to the old man's side.
"Well, just put the dishes away, you go out, and I'll leave the kitchen to the old man." The old man said, still concentrating on the board, and everything on the board.
"Okay then." Yuan Qing put the dishes on the stove and turned away.
The old man was also a stove master when he was young, the so-called stove master, which family had a red and white wedding, he was invited to cook, generally at home, almost the hostess cooked, although the old man only cooked when others invited him, but the old man cooked the dishes are also very good.
Yuan Qing is too lazy to mix blindly here, sometimes the more he helps, the more he helps, it is the gap between professionalism and half-ass.
Yuan Qing walked out of the kitchen, and heard the old man shouting behind her: "Yuan Qing, you go to Xiao's house and call their sister and brother over." ”
Yuan Qing still had to listen to this old man's words, she agreed, so she didn't say anything, and walked outside.
The Xiao family looked very cold, Yuan Qing came to the outside of the fence, pushed the door and entered, there was no one in the small courtyard, she was standing in the courtyard. But he could hear the sound of quarrels coming from the hall.
"Little lady, can't you just obey me?" It's quite a male voice.
"Go away, even if I, Xiao Mo, die, I won't marry you." A woman's voice. Quite determined.
"Wu Lezi, if you go away, my sister will not marry you......" A young man's somewhat weak but angry voice did not let in the slightest.
"Hmph, Xiao Mo. Your father is dead, and you don't have any relatives to go to, are you alone with this perennially sick brother? Think about it, you married me Wu Dayi, and since then you have eaten and drunk spicy food, and my brother's illness, I will also find a doctor to treat him well, what's wrong with marrying me? The man seemed to be bitter, compared to some of the previous voices, at this time his voice was full of discussion and so-called flattery.
"Phew. Who are you, Wu Dayi? A lazy Wu leper, marry you to have a good life? I'm afraid I'm tired of playing with you, so you will turn your face and don't recognize people. The woman's voice was a little sarcastic.
"You, talk ...... again" The man's tone became cold, as if he would slap the woman at any moment......
"You hit, you beat me to death...... Woo, my dad is dead, you just bullied our sister and brother like this......" said the woman's voice choked.
The man seemed to be startled by the woman's pear blossom with rain, and he quickly softened his voice and said, "Mo Mo." Don't cry, it's a bad freshman, don't cry, okay? "Even though the man is a lazy scoundrel. But Xiao Mo is beautiful, better looking than any woman he has ever seen, and I have to say that Wu Dayi is sincere to her.
"You go, go, I don't want to see you." The woman cried.
"Good. I'll go, I'll go, I'll come back tomorrow, Momo don't cry. As he spoke, the medium-sized man walked backwards out of the hall.
Yuan Qing was in the small courtyard, outside the Tang House, listening to every word in the hall, and couldn't judge whether Wu Dayi, who was still heinous in people's mouths before, was good or bad.
Wu Dayi walked out, he also saw Yuan Qing standing in the small courtyard, and at that moment he pulled his face and smiled at Yuan Qing: "Boss, did you come here to find Xiao Mo and them?" ”
"Wu Dayi, you don't have to go to the coal mine tomorrow." Yuan Qing looked at him, his shabby clothes looked a little dirty, his stature was medium, his eyebrows and eyes were faintly obscene, and his teeth were a little yellow when he smiled......
"Boss, don't you need people in your coal mine?" Wu Dayi smiled half-restricted, and his eyes looked a little unkind.
"What did you do in the coal mines?" Yuan Qing asked.
"Naturally, it's going to dig coal." Wu Dayi.
"Heh, if you go to the coal mine and do anything nasty besides digging coal, you don't have to go there again." Yuan Qing didn't break it either. Everyone knows it, what do you need to say so clearly?
"Boss, I'll go first." Wu Dayi pretended to bow to Yuan Qing lightly, and then walked away.
Yuan Qing didn't look at him either, raised his feet and entered the house, the hall, Xiao Yuan had already heard the conversation between Yuan Qing and Wu Dayi in the small courtyard just now, and then he walked to the door, looked at the girl who came and shouted: "Sister Yuan......"
"Xiaoyuan, didn't that person do anything to you just now, right?" Yuan Qing asked.
"That Wu Laizi knew about our family's situation, and he fell in love with my sister's appearance and wanted my sister to marry him, but my sister would never agree to him, and he didn't dare to do anything to us when he saw my sister crying......" Xiao Yuan said.
"Miss Yuan, you're here, I'm ...... Just made you laugh. Xiao Mo saw Yuan Qing, her clear eyes were still dripping with tears, but the corners of her mouth were curved.
"Xiao Mo, you have suffered." Yuan Qingdao said, she doesn't know how to comfort people, there is only one sentence at the moment.
"Miss Yuan, what should Xiao Mo do?" Speaking of this, Xiao Mo couldn't help but shed tears...... Parents passed away one after another, their two sisters and brothers were helpless, that Wu Dayi still came to provoke her, how could she not cry when she was a girl?
She cried so much that she was haggard, and Yuan Qing watched from the sidelines, and seemed to be able to understand her suffering. I think when Yuan Qing first came to this world, he was only twelve years old and didn't have anything...... However, Yuan Qing seems to be more optimistic.
"It's okay, Xiao Mo will pass everything." Yuan Qing said softly.
"I hope so." Xiao Mo wiped her tears and said softly.
"By the way, I'm going to eat over there tonight, did Uncle Zhang tell you?" Yuan Qingdao.
"Well, this morning, I told him about it." Xiao Mo nodded, "Miss Yuan, you wait a minute, I'll wash my face and come." ”
But after a while, Xiao Mo walked out, she was dressed in light purple clothes, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, green silk was like ink, red lips were dandan, and she was a beauty, no wonder Wu Dayi, who has always been a scoundrel, would curry favor with her crying.
Without further ado, the three of them walked out of the small courtyard.
"Miss Yuan, today's matter, Xiao Mo also implores you not to tell others." Xiao Mo's eyes were slightly red and swollen.
After all, this matter is about the innocence of her daughter's family, and Yuan Qing nodded at the moment, which can be regarded as a promise to her.
In the hall here, the old man has already cooked the vegetables and steamed the rice, and there are meals on the table, the rice is fragrant and white, and the dishes are full of color and fragrance, which is very good. The old man dug out a jar of fine wine that he had buried in the soil in the courtyard a few years ago, and the wine was fragrant and intoxicating.
"Uncle Zhang, we're back." Yuan Qing was the first to shout, she walked to the hall, saw the old man and Li Chen sitting at the table, and smiled faintly at Li Chen at the moment, and didn't know what to say, so she turned her face away and walked to the table.
"Uncle Zhang, Brother Li." Xiao Mo walked over and smiled sweetly at the two of them.
"Uncle Zhang, Brother Li." Xiao Yuan is also as well-behaved as his sister.
"Hey, sister and brother are here, come on, sit down." The old man hurriedly beckoned them to him.
The five of them sat at the same table, because of the age and generation, the old man didn't seem to have anything to say to these young people, the reason why he wanted to invite their sisters and brothers to eat was all in Xiao Yishan's face, Xiao Yishan and the old man were old friends, and Xiao died, I have to say that it was a pity, and it seemed that there was no reason to invite Xiao's juniors to have a meal together.
Five people around a table for only four people to sit on looks a little tight, but the five people squeezed together and sat more harmoniously.
Needless to say, the old man's cooking skills are delicious.
"This jar of wine is made by the old man who went to the mountain to pick peach blossoms the year before last, so it is called peach blossom brewing, children can't drink, the girl's family has to drink less, boy, let's drink more." As he spoke, the old man poured wine for Li Chen, and poured wine for himself.
"Are the peach blossoms picked on that mountain?" Li Chen said with a slight frown. That's what the old man said to Li Chen, about the peach blossoms.
"The kid has a really good memory, that's right, it's on the mountain full of a large peach blossom forest, just right, the peach blossoms on the mountain will bloom again in a few days, how about we go to see the peach blossoms together?" The old man said with a smile through the wine.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang must call me then." Yuan Qing heard that there was a large peach forest on the mountain, and in the middle of March, the peach blossoms were in full bloom, which was a good time to see the peach blossoms.
"Hehe, Yuan Qing is the most idle among you." The old man looked at the girl next to Li Chen and said with a smile.
"Anyway, if you're idle, you're idle, why don't you go to the mountains to see the peach blossoms?" Yuan Qingdao.
"What an active woman, you're a good match for the kid, haha." The old man looked at the titular couple and didn't forget to joke.
Yuan Qing subconsciously looked at the man beside him, although he was really good-looking, but the two of us were so compatible? Calm, the old man he didn't know. At that moment, Yuan Qing smiled and lowered his head to eat the vegetables.
"Xiao Mo, what are you and Xiao Yuan's plans for the future?" The old man who was still smiling just now suddenly had a calm eyebrow.
"Uncle Zhang, Xiao Mo doesn't know either." Xiao Mo said, her voice was clear, but it was sad.
"If the two sisters and brothers have nowhere to go, go to Qiuzhou City with me, an old man, Xiao Mo, how old are you?" The old man said.
"The little girl is eighteen years old." Xiao Mo said.
"Eighteen, well, it's okay to get married, but do you want someone?" The old man said, Xiao Mo and Xiao Yuan are helpless, if Xiao Mo marries a good mother-in-law, their lives will be better. To be continued
