There is an apricot blossom village near the suburbs of Beijing, which is famous for its abundance of beauties within a radius of 100 miles, and the little ladies of the apricot blossom village are indeed as smart as apricot blossoms.

Chunyan is the most beautiful flower in Xinghua Village, and has attracted the admiration of countless children since she was twelve or thirteen years old.

It's just that Chunyan has been very unhappy in recent years, since a little widow came to the village more than two years ago, the position of the village flower has obviously changed hands.

Chunyan is not convinced, why did a little widow with a son steal her limelight?

Whenever she went out, Chunyan spat in the direction of the little widow's house as usual, and then she twisted and went to do the laundry.

"Brother Chen, are you going fishing?"

A man in his early twenties was confronted, tall and large, and his exposed arms were tied up with pieces of tendon flesh, which was different from the black and shiny men in the village who often went to the ground, but a beautiful bronz.

This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance is thoughtful, which is obviously special in the eyes of many big girls and little daughters-in-law.

The man didn't realize it, holding a fish basket in one hand and a large handful of unknown wildflowers in the other, and his steps easily walked through the small path, and from the momentum of jumping and jumping, it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

The man in a good mood ignored the bright village flower and passed by it.

"Brother Chen, I'll call you!" Chunyan stomped her foot.

Only then did the man stop, with a serious face: "It turned out to be Sister Chunyan, I'm sorry, I didn't see it." ”

Chunyan was congested for a while.

She is such a beautiful living person, he can't see it?

Could it be because she is still young?

Chunyan unconsciously lowered her head, glanced at the pair of xiaolongbao bulging on her chest, and leaned up with her chest: "Brother Chen, the flowers in your hand are so beautiful, give them to me." ”

"It's not going to work, I'm going to take it back and feed the cat."

Feed the cats?

Chunyan was a little dazed.

Do cats eat wildflowers?

Looking at the serious appearance of the man she secretly liked, Chunyan hesitated.

Perhaps, cats eat wildflowers, but she hasn't raised them, so I don't know.

The man took advantage of Chunyan's stunned time to stretch out his hand and point: "I picked it on the hillside over there, if the Chunyan girl is rare, go and pick as much as you want." ”

After he finished speaking, he threw off his feet and left, and a naughty fish in the fish basket swung its tail, and the water splashed Chunyan's body.

Watching the man walk away, Chunyan was so angry that she stomped her feet fiercely: "It's really annoying, even if the wild flowers want to feed the cat, it's good to give me a fish, otherwise how can people see Brother Chen's intentions!" ”

Speaking of this, Chunyan was a little sad, lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes.

Her eldest brother Chen, her soul has long been snatched away by the little widow who killed a thousand knives!

Chunyan guessed correctly, and the man walked all the way to the other end of the village and stopped in front of a courtyard gate.

The house was half-new, surrounded by a high wall, and was inconspicuous in the village, but he knew that it was refurbished, with a small courtyard neatly arranged, and a pomegranate tree with its lush foliage sticking out diagonally.

It's a pity that apart from that accident, he never had a chance to step in.

It's really strange, the people in the village, who has a special gatekeeper!

The man was about to step forward when the door creaked open, and out of it came a beautiful woman of eighteen or nineteen.

The woman was petite and exquisite, holding a laundry tub and walking out, the man felt distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly came up, and his serious expression when facing Chunyan was suddenly replaced by an unprincipled smile: "He Niangzi, I'll hold it for you." ”

The woman glanced at the man and spit out two words coldly: "No! ”

There is a well at home, and there is also a laundry worker, but she likes to carry it to the stream to wash. Because whenever the stream flowed past her fingertips, and she heard the roosters and dogs barking in her ears, it made her feel full of heart.

The woman walked around him, and the man held a bouquet of flowers in front of her: "He Niangzi, I passed by the hillside to see that this flower is blooming well, and I think it must be the most suitable place in your house, so I will give it to you." ”

"No need, picking good flowers is a waste."

The man was a little aggrieved.

He had obviously seen He Niangzi pick wild flowers and bring them home, and the smile between her eyebrows and eyes at that time made his heart flutter.

The little lady is duplicitous, so he won't be scared away.

The man handed the fish basket to the woman: "What Mrs. He said is that flowers are best grown on the hillside, but this fat and tender fish is the best to eat in the stomach." Today I invite you to eat fish. ”

The woman stretched out her hand and pushed the man, and said angrily: "I said that if I don't have to, I don't need to, you can't understand people, it's really annoying!" ”

She kicked away with the laundry tub, leaving the man to be out of his mind for a while, and silently put the wildflowers and fish basket at the door.

After a short time the woman came back with her washed clothes, and as soon as she entered the courtyard gate, a little boy ran out of the house and shouted cheerfully, "Mother, you are back, there are many fish in the house, and they have been swimming around. ”

The woman took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat for the child, and said angrily, "I am sweating all over my body, beware of catching a cold." ”

The child patted his chest: "Don't worry, mother, I'm strong." Didn't you teach me to read, when will it start? ”

The woman touched the child's cheek and said with a smile: "Wait a while, my mother will call you, you can go play for a while." ”

"Whoa." The boy replied crisply, and ran away happily.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled.

It's good to have such a peaceful life, no one here knows where she came from, and no one knows that her brother Yu was once an idiot, although it is not as good as the previous brocade clothes and food, but every day is fresh, so that she can laugh out loud from her dreams.

It's just a grievance Brother Yu'er, although there is no shortage of money in his hands, but in this ravine, it is not so easy to even eat a fresh fish.

It turned out that this woman was Cheng Tong.

Thinking of this, Cheng Tong shouted, "Aunt He-"

A woman in her forties walked over quickly: "What does Madame command?" ”

"Where did the fish come from?"

"Yes...... At the door, there was also a large bouquet of wildflowers. ”

"It's the blacksmith again!" Cheng Tong said hatefully.

Thinking of that man, she was upset and irritable, but also a little indescribable.

That's actually a good person, if he has a good background, he is also an outstanding figure in the capital.

It's just that what is he doing so diligently to her, she has such a past, can she marry again?

No, she has to stay away from that person in the future, and she can't let him ruin the peaceful life that she has so hard won.

"Throw those fish and flowers through the wall!"

Aunt He looked embarrassed: "But the little young master said that he wanted to eat fish at noon, and he had already killed two-"

Cheng Tong sighed helplessly: "That's it, then let's stay." ”

Anyway, it's not the first time that the person's things are left, it's really boring!

She was annoyed when she heard a terrible shout coming from behind the house.

It's Ho Bo's voice!

Cheng Tong's face changed, and he raised his feet and ran to the back of the house.

After two or three years of living in the village, the noble girl who was once weak and couldn't help the wind ran up and had wind on the soles of her feet.

"Brother Yu!" Seeing the situation behind the house, Cheng Tong let out a miserable cry.

She suddenly rushed over and hugged Brother Yu, and asked hoarsely, "What's going on?" ”

He Bo looked panicked; "Old ...... The old slave just went to pick a handful of vegetables, and the little master fell into the pool......"

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, wake up!" Cheng Tong only felt that the sky had fallen, and yelled at Uncle He and his wife, "Don't go to ask for a doctor yet!" ”

Uncle He and Aunt He were also panicked, and the two of them responded loudly, and they all ran out, leaving Cheng Tong to cry with Brother Yu in his arms.

"He Niangzi, the doll is drowning, it's too late to ask for a doctor."

A familiar voice came, and as soon as Cheng Tong looked up, he saw that the man next door jumped in from the wall at some point.

She put down Brother Yu, rushed over like an angry leopard, picked up her fist and beat the man's chest with all her might: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault, if you hadn't got those broken fish, how could Brother Yu fall into the pool because of watching the fish!" ”

"He Niangzi, He Niangzi-"

"Get out of here, I never want to see you!" Cheng Tong couldn't listen to what the man said at all, he couldn't beat it, so he scratched it with his nails instead.

"Hiss-" The man was in pain, gasped, grabbed Cheng Tong's arm and picked her up directly and put her aside, and said angrily, "You, isn't it in the way of madness at this time, do you want to save the doll?" ”

He strode to Brother Yu'er's side, squatted down, folded his hands on Brother Yu'er's chest and pressed them gently, quite rhythmically at a time.

After a while, Brother Yu was so wowful that he spit out a few mouthfuls of water and opened his eyes.

Cheng Tong cried with joy: "My son, you're finally fine, you scared your mother to death, do you know." If I didn't have you, how would my mother live? ”

"Mother, I'm sorry-" Brother Yu gently grabbed Cheng Tong's hand, looked at the man, and showed a smile, "Uncle Chen, I have fish at home, I invite you to eat." ”

Cheng Tong gritted his teeth secretly.

It's really an evil family, Brother Yu just fell in love with this surnamed Chen!

"No, Uncle Chen has a big appetite and can't eat enough." The man smiled and rubbed Brother Yu'er's wet little head, and said to Cheng Tong, "Lady He, hurry up and change the child's clothes, I'll go first, so that someone won't come back, it's not good to see it." ”

He walked to the base of the wall, kicked his feet, climbed up the wall neatly, looked back and smiled, "If anything happens, shout." ”

Cheng Tong stared at the empty wall, a little distracted for a while.

"Mother, Uncle Chen is really good, is my father so good at climbing the wall?"

"Your father...... He doesn't climb walls. Thinking of the waste prince, Cheng Tong's voice unconsciously cooled.

"Then Uncle Chen would be my father." Brother Yu muttered.

Brother Yu fell into the water, Cheng Tong lost interest, and he didn't step out of the door for half a step all day, and he stayed with Brother Yu as soon as it was dark.

At night, when she was sleeping lightly, she heard a knock on the courtyard door.

"Aunt He, you go and ask Uncle He, what's going on outside."

After a while, Aunt He came in and said, "Madam, there is a woman outside, who says it is your mother." ”

Cheng Tong's heart tightened: "Bring her in." ”

When Aunt Dong, who was embarrassed, was brought in by Aunt He, Cheng Tong was shocked: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Aunt Dong was like a wounded beast, and looked at Aunt He vigilantly.

"Aunt He, you go down first, prepare bath water and clean clothes."

Waiting for Aunt He to go down, Aunt Dong suddenly hugged Cheng Tong and said tremblingly: "Tong'er, my mother has killed someone!" ”

Cheng Tong's body stiffened, and he immediately said: "Mother, let's go to the next room to talk, don't wake up Brother Yu." ”

Aunt Dong subconsciously glanced at Brother Yu'er, who was sleeping soundly, and blurted out, "Brother Yu'er is not stupid?" ”

Cheng Tong was inexplicably a little unhappy, and explained: "I was quietly cured by the third sister before I came here. ”

When the mother and daughter arrived in the next room, Cheng Tong mustered up the courage to ask, "Mother, who did you kill?" ”

"Your grandmother!"

Cheng Tong was stunned.

Aunt Dong was at a loss: "Tong'er, my mother didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, I just listened to your grandmother scolding all the time, and I was upset by the scolding, and when I came back to my senses, she had been suffocated to death by the pillow." ”

Cheng Tong listened, and was silent.

Aunt Dong looked at Cheng Tong timidly: "Tong'er, if you blame your mother for being ruthless, your mother will leave, your mother just wants to see you again." ”

Cheng Tong suddenly laughed: "No, she died well!" ”

"Tong'er?"

"Mother, stay in peace, they can't find it here anyway." When she left the capital, she just told Aunt Dong where she stayed, and the red ribbon tied on the pomegranate tree sticking out of the wall in the courtyard was a mark, but she didn't expect the mother and daughter to really reunite.

Listening to Aunt Dong talk about what happened in the capital recently, Cheng Tong only felt extremely happy, urging her to take a bath and go back to the next door to accompany Brother Yu.

Under the faint candlelight, Cheng Tong gazed at Brother Yu gently, and suddenly felt that his cheeks were a little abnormally red, and when he reached out to touch it, he was suddenly shocked, Brother Yu was actually feverish!

Thinking of Brother Yu's white sunset, Cheng Tong was anxious at the moment.

There is only one doctor in this village, no, it is too reluctant to say that the doctor, it is just that someone grabs a handful of herbs when they are sick, and if they eat well, they are lucky, and if they eat badly, they think they are unlucky.

The real doctor has to go to the town and go over a mountain......

Cheng Tong only felt that her eyes were black, but Brother Yu'er's condition could not be delayed, she gritted her teeth and carried Brother Yu and walked out: "Uncle He, you accompany me to the town, Brother Yu has a fever." ”

The mountain road can't sit on the car, so you can only rely on two legs, and it is even more difficult to walk in the middle of the night, Uncle He handed over a dead wind lamp to Cheng Tong, and carried Brother Yu out on his back.

The two big and the one small went out of the gate, and the door of the blacksmith's house next door opened.

"He Niangzi, where are you going?"

Cheng Tong looked at the tall blacksmith Chen, and then at Uncle He who was bent on his back, and faintly had a thought that made him ashamed.

If only this person could carry Brother Yu to the town, he would be able to get out of danger as soon as possible.

But on weekdays, I don't pretend to others, but now I want to use others-

In the end, it was Aiko who had the upper hand, Cheng Tong gritted his teeth and said: "The child has a fever, I will send him to the town." ”

"It's a coincidence that I have a relative who works as a doctor in the town, and he happened to come to visit my relatives today. Go back to the house quickly, I'll call him to come and show Brother Yu. ”

A few days later, Brother Yu was well, and Cheng Tong found an opportunity to ask the man: "You tell the truth, it really happened that a relative who was a doctor came to your house that day?" How did I hear that you don't have any relatives anymore, so you're just a single person. ”

The man scratched his head and smiled: "That day, the doll fell into the water, and I was afraid that he would have a fever, so I went to the town and asked a doctor to come back." In case the doll really has a fever, it saves you from running out in the middle of the night, which is not safe and delays time. ”

"What if Brother Yu doesn't have a fever? Aren't your efforts in vain? ”

"What's the matter, I'll send the doctor back, anyway, the money for the doctor is a lot."

Looking at the man's bright and generous smile, Cheng Tong's heart warmed, followed by an astringent pain.

It turns out that there will be someone who can be so wholeheartedly good to her.

"Hey, aren't you angry at me for meddling again?" The man rubbed his hands.

Cheng Tong glanced at him: "What about being angry?" ”

The man was in a hurry, held the two newly caught fish in front of her, and stammered: "Then, do you still want this fish?" ”

Cheng Tong didn't answer, turned around and left, and only when he stood at the gate did he smile back, pursed his lips and said, "Come in, Brother Yu is about to make up for it." ”

She paused for a moment before saying, "You can come and eat at noon." ”

It wasn't until the door slammed shut that the man scratched his head and giggled.

The door suddenly opened again, and the little lady who was placed on the tip of her heart by the man poked her head out and sneered: "Don't scratch it, my hair smells fishy all day long!" (To be continued.) )
