When I came to the top of the mountain, my vision widened.

Looking back at the valley, surrounded by green bamboo and trees, there is a big lake.

There is an outlet in the southeast of the lake, and a water is like a belt, winding eastward.

Jiang Minghui pointed to the direction where the water was flowing and said to Qingdu: "Follow this waterway, go down to the Linhu Prefecture capital." I've been. There is a ferry port in front of it, and there are people in the village who are ferrying here. ”

Guo Dagui asked: "You still went to Linhu Prefecture?" ”

Jiang Minghui nodded and said, "Hey." My bamboo ware is well made, and most people are too expensive to buy it, and those big families in the city like it very much. I went to Huzhou and Linhuzhou a few days ago, and found a few warehouses, and there were more goods. ”

Hearing this, Qing Yan looked at him deeply.

He's a country boy, and it's good to have this vision.

Jiang Minghui seemed to see her praise and was overjoyed.

He said, "Go down." There is a cave in front of it, which is fun. I'll take you. ”

Guo Dagui hurriedly asked, "How is it fun?" ”

Jiang Minghui said: "I didn't want to study before, so I secretly ran here and hid in the cave, and my father couldn't find it for a day and a night." I have brought food, and I am not afraid of hunger—" As he spoke, he caught a glimpse of his dumb and stunned gaze, as if he did not believe that he could do such a thing, so he was embarrassed, and lowered his voice—"I was very naughty when I was a child. My dad said that when I looked at Sven, it was actually more difficult to manage than my two brothers combined. My brother was naughty, beat up, scold a few words, forget it; Every time I make the chickens and dogs jump in the house......"

Laughed silently.

Guo Dagui laughed even more, and the birds on the treetops above his head flew up.

While laughing, the three of them felt familiar and close.

Halfway up the mountain, they burrowed through a hole in the root of a large tree.

When she went in, the so-called fun place was just an ordinary stone cave, which was nothing to her who had visited famous karst caves such as Guilin Qixing Cliff and Hunan Huanglong Cave. However, Guo Dagui has never climbed a mountain for so long, and he is naturally surprised when he sees this cave, looking everywhere, running everywhere, and he is not afraid.

Jiang Minghui carefully led Qingmu and led her to a stone wall with a skylight on the top of the cave.

There's a little pool of water, and it's clear.

He crouched down beside a rock pit.

There was a lot of fine sand piled up in the stone pit, and he reached out to grope in the fine sand, and soon took out a few yellow and shiny, shiny and clear wild persimmons.

"Look, it's ripe." He happily showed it to the dumb.

Qing's eyes lit up, and he hadn't eaten yet, but he already thought it was funny.

"You put it?" Guo Dagui came out of nowhere and asked loudly.

"Bh. When I was a child, I picked persimmons, and I collected them here, and they were ripe in a few days. Jiang Minghui put the persimmon on his dumb hand, and then dug it out in the sand.

"This sand doesn't grow in this hole, does it?" Guo Dagui asked.

"No, I came from the river beach in front of the mountain." Jiang Minghui said.

As he spoke, he took out several persimmons and carefully handed them to Qingdu.

Guo Dagui saw that his hands were itchy, and he also reached out to touch them.

Jiang Minghui was about to tell him, but it was already late, so when he heard the sound of "ouch", he grabbed a hand of yellow paste, which was still covered with sand.

Jiang Minghui said with a smile: "I just want to tell you that the persimmon is very soft when it is cooked, and you should be lighter when you take it, and you can't pinch it." If you grab it, it won't be pinched. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the mute, and when he saw her holding it carefully, he thought she was so smart.

Guo Dagui turned around to wash his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know." I haven't eaten this stuff. ”

Jiang Minghui took out a bunch of persimmons before going to the water to wash them.

When washing, I was also careful to wipe off only the layer of hoarfrost on the persimmon skin.

Wash one, tear off a thin layer of skin on the surface with your own hands, and then hand it to Qingdu, looking at her and saying softly: "Tear it like this." Eat the corn inside, and the seeds will be spit out. ”

Qingmu smiled at him and nodded in thanks, and took it.

Suck it gently, the soft meat is sweet and sour. It's just that there is not much meat, a few persimmons and a few seeds, and there is nothing left after spitting it out. Compared with the large persimmons that I have eaten, they are too small and have much less meat. However, she found it delicious.

At that moment, Jiang Minghui washed all the persimmons, and the three of them sat on the stone to eat, while talking.

"Delicious! I didn't expect there to be this thing on the mountain. Guo Dagui finally recognized this place.

"When I was a kid, I had to bury a lot of them every year." Jiang Minghui said.

"You're still doing this? Don't you have a shop in town? Guo Dagui was puzzled.

"Well, it was the last time I came home, I was playing alone in the mountains, and when I saw persimmons and remembered them, I picked them and buried them." Jiang Minghui's face flushed as he spoke, and he didn't dare to see the dumbness.

The last time he came home, he was full of emotion and no one complained, so he ran to the mountains in a daze and turned around. Because he saw the persimmon, he hurriedly picked it and sent it to the hole to bury it in the sand, thinking that if he could make a relationship with the dumb family, he would bring the persimmon to her to eat. Sure enough, she ate it today.

Speaking of his childhood deeds, Guo Dagui couldn't help but gush endlessly.

At this moment, he felt that Jiang Minghui was really good, much stronger than Zhang Futian.

looked at the little sister sitting on the side, her expression was also very relaxed, and she thought that this family should be able to succeed.

Therefore, he didn't feel much closer to Jiang Minghui between his words.

Jiang Minghui was also kind and casual towards his brother and sister, and he was not as polite and careful as before.

Seeing that the sun was shining obliquely from the roof of the cave, it was already noon, and he hurriedly said, "Go back, it's time to eat." Then he asked Qingdu, "Little sister, are you hungry?" After sitting on the boat for so long and climbing the mountain, you don't walk much, but are you tired? ”

Qingdu, feeling that he was in good spirits, shook his head.

Jiang Minghui said: "Then I have to go back, and I have to go over the mountain." ”

The three men came out of the cave and looked for their way back.

Seeing the dumb view of the lake at the foot of the mountain, Jiang Minghui said: "Let's come back when we have dinner, I will borrow a boat from Uncle Chen, and let's hold the boat and go to the lake to play." There are also interesting places on the mountains on the other side of the lake. ”

Guo Dagui said with a smile: "After dinner, we are leaving, how can we have time to come with you." ”

Jiang Minghui's heart sank when he heard this, and he looked at Qing Du very uneasily.

When his mother came back that day, she said that the Guo family had agreed to the family affair. Who knew that the next day, Sister Cai rushed back to tell Sù that the Guo family was going to come to see each other. When the Guo family came today, as soon as he saw his dumb expression and demeanor, he knew that this was what she meant.

He is dumb and wants to look at him.

She couldn't decide whether to agree to this family or not.

Now that she has seen each other, will she agree?

What if she doesn't say yes?

Jiang Minghui panicked in his heart.

He led the way, thinking absentmindedly about it.

Everyone in the world wants to get married, and his two elder brothers have married one after another, and he has also seen many people in the village get married and get married, and he can't help but have some longing for the future life.

In the past, there was no clear image of this vision, but now it is different, as long as he imagines it, he will automatically substitute the quiet figure of the dumb into his mind: marry her in the church, stay with her day and night, he is outside her lord, the two have children, love each other......

Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard Guo Dagui behind him ask: "How long does it take to go from here to Linhu Prefecture?" ”

Jiang Minghui replied: "I have to take a boat for a day and a night." ”

Guo Dagui said: "So far! ”

Jiang Minghui was silent.

After walking for a while, he suddenly said: "I will sell bamboo to various places in Huzhou and Linhu Prefecture in the future." ”

Guo Dagui laughed when he heard this, and said half-boasting and half-sarcastic: "Ambition!" You just blow it. ”

Jiang Minghui said firmly: "Bamboo and Mei Lanju are also known as the 'Four Gentlemen', and the things made of bamboo are very elegant, no worse than gold and jade." There are many silk families in Huzhou, and in the future, there will also be a bamboo family. When people in the world mention bamboo, they can think of the Jiang family in Maozhuwu! ”

Guo Dagui laughed out loud and said loudly: "Okay! ”

He turned back to Qing Du and winked at him: "Little sister, listen, is he ambitious?" ”

He was dumb and speechless, but he didn't laugh either.

She knew that the boy was making his mind clear to her!

Jiang Minghui turned his head and met his dumb eyes, and his spirits were lifted.

He turned around and continued to walk, while asking Guo Dagui again: "Dagui, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want to marry?" ”

Guo Dagui was stunned by the question, and only said in a half-loud voice: "This...... I didn't think about it. ”

He rolled his eyes and asked, "What about you, what kind of daughter-in-law do you want to marry?" ”

When he asked this, he was ready to listen to this guy praise the little sister shamelessly, and secretly hoped that he wouldn't say it too explicitly, so that the little sister couldn't get up and down after listening to it.

Jiang Minghui said quietly: "I didn't think about it originally. My family has helped me find a lot of people, and I have seen a lot of girls, some of whom are very good-looking and virtuous, but I always feel awkward in my heart. My dad scolded me and said I was restless. One day, I suddenly found out. My daughter-in-law doesn't need to talk much, I know what she thinks when I look at her. This is the daughter-in-law I'm looking for. ”

One look at her, and you know what she thinks!

Qing's dumb heart trembled, and his feet paused.

She didn't expect the teenager to express his feelings in such simple words.

This is an alternative interpretation of "the heart is clear"!

In the era of "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", he was a rural boy with such emotional expectations, which shows that he is a person who cares about the exchange of hearts and emotions, not marrying for the sake of marrying.

She looked up at him, and he turned to look at him.

At that time they had reached the top of the mountain and were about to descend the front mountain.

Guo Dagui asked, "Then what do you say my little sister is thinking now?" ”

Jiang Minghui didn't answer, he just looked dumb and admonished: "Little sister, the road down the mountain is slippery, be careful." I'll walk in front, and you will hold your brother and follow me. ”

Dumb nodded.

Jiang Minghui turned his head and walked down the hill with a gentle slope.

Guo Dagui hurriedly took his sister's hand and followed him.

As he cautiously descended the mountain, he whispered to her, "Don't listen to him! ”

This brother's psychology is really contradictory: on the one hand, he hopes that his sister will be a good family and settle the family affairs, and on the other hand, he is afraid that Jiang Minghui will coax her with sweet words, just like Zhang Futian, who looked good before, but later did such ugly things.

Qinglu took his arm and smiled at him when he heard the words.

The descent was indeed slippery, and she didn't dare to use it for the second time.

Halfway up the mountain, I suddenly saw a few people coming below, but it was Guo Qin and others who came to find them.

At the beginning, a young man of about twenty sat with Guo Jian on his shoulder.

This is Guo Daquan's brother-in-law, kohlrabi!
