Before the remnants of the snow melted, the winter sun hurriedly sank into the west mountain, leaving only a touch of orange afterglow, adding a cold to the small mountains that were slaughtered.

In the evening of the cold winter wax moon, there is not a trace of people in the small mountain village of less than 100 households, and even the domestic dogs are curled up in the nest and refuse to show their heads, only the smoke that rises from time to time brings a trace of vitality here.

When everything was quiet, a red shadow suddenly flashed at the corner of the road at the entrance of the village, and a woman wearing a large cluster of flowers with a red background and a big red turban wrapped around her head flashed.

The visitor hurried, ignoring the earth dogs who barked at her when they heard the movement, and went straight to an ordinary courtyard at the head of the village.

Raising her eyes and scanning the not wide and magnificent courtyard in front of her, a look of ambition flashed in her eyes, and from the warm sleeve stretched out a fat hand with a golden slippery, put on the half-old wooden door, and pushed it gently, and then a smile appeared on her face, "Great joy, great joy, great joy, Dashan Niang, my flower lady has come to you to say good news." ”

When the people in the house heard the movement, they rushed out almost immediately, and she wiped her hands on the placket of her clothes, and responded with joy, "Aunt Hua, I can look forward to you, is it that our marriage in the mountains has been settled?"

The flower woman with a red flower looked at the big mountain lady in front of her, although she was wearing a coarse cloth shirt with patches, but she was better than cleaning up neatly, and she knew that she was a diligent person at a glance, she had a little calculation in her heart, and the smile on her face was even better, "Dashan Niang is so capable, which girl can't stand the grievances when she enters the door of your house, haha, haha." ”

I didn't hear the positive answer of the matchmaker Hua Pozi, and then thought of the situation of her son Dashan, the smile on Dashanniang's face was slow, and Ai Ai said, "It's Aunt Hua who has been promoted, and we won't give the girl the slightest grievance, but, but, our family's mountain, Dashan, he ......."

Without waiting for Dashan Niang to finish speaking, Hua Pozi smiled and took Dashan Niang's hand, and said affectionately, "Big sister, don't worry, Dashan's marriage is wrapped up in me, you not only gave birth to a son, but also gave birth to a good daughter." Why don't you invite me to sit in the house?"

"Yes, yes, Aunt Hua, please in your house, please in the house. Dashan Niang followed the flower woman into the house, and said with a compliment, "Aunt Hua, your ability is well-known in our village, and with you to Zhang Luo for the child in Dashan, what else can I worry about." Dashan's marriage has been settled, and in the future, the affairs of Yunhua and Yunfang's little sisters will have to trouble Aunt Hua a lot. ”

"Hey, I'll just say, Dashan Niang, you are the most happy person in our Songpotun area," Hua Pozi warmly took Dashan Niang's hand, and walked into the door of the inner room without recognizing her life, while patting her chest heroically and said, "My Hua Pozi is also a happy person, this time, I will give you the big happy event of your Dashan and Yunhua brothers and sisters!"

Hearing this, Dashan Niang's heart was sudden, and her steps were stunned, but when she thought of her son's situation, she was heartbroken, and said happily, "If Aunt Hua has a good marriage for Dashan's child, it is also feasible for Yunhua's family affairs to be settled together." However, there is one case that is most important, Dashan is the elder brother, and in any case, he must marry his daughter-in-law first and then marry his sister. ”

Dashan Niang talked ruthlessly, and at the same time picked up the curtain with the flower woman and entered the back room.

The curtain of the door fell together, bringing in a chilling cool breeze, and a small body curled up on the kang uncomfortably curled up, curling up vaguely.

A girl next to her, who was bowing her head and holding the soles of her shoes, stopped what she was doing, sighed silently, and tucked the thin quilt for the person with pity, but did not speak.

Hua Pozi protects the media and pulls fiber, enters hundreds of households and strings thousands of households, relying on a neat mouth, which can say that the dead are alive. At the same time, she observed words and looks, and also practiced a pair of sharp eyes to see hidden feelings in subtleties, although it was only a slight glance, Hua Pozi had already taken the small movements of the two sisters of the Lan family into her eyes, thinking about the big tumor on the face of the Lan family's younger sister Lan Yunfang, she smiled firmly, and she was more sure of her own errand today.

Da Shanniang also saw the small movements of her daughter, she shook her head helplessly and distressedly, and said angrily to her eldest daughter Lan Yunhua, "You kid, why are you so blind? Hurry up and make some tea for your aunt Huazi." ”

"Got it, mother. Yunhua agreed, obediently put down the half-contained sole in his hand, and slipped off the kang.

Quietly raised his eyes, just in time to see the smile on the face of the flower woman, Yun Hua frowned, turned around again, patted his sister's calf through the quilt, and whispered, "Yun Fang, go, go and boil water with your sister, there is a fire in the stove, which is warmer than on the kang." ”

seemed to feel a different kind of gaze, Lan Yunfang, who was shrunk on the kang, moved, and reluctantly crawled out of the slightly warmer quilt, blown by the cold wind, her body couldn't help but shrink a little, and the big tumor in the corner of her right eye also shook, making her whole person hideous.

Lan Yunfang didn't need to look at it to know that when she saw her like this, what kind of disgusted face that matchmaker should have, her heart became even more irritable, and she cursed in a low voice, "Damn ghost weather, damn ghost place, damn ghost person!"

Sister Yunhua didn't hear her sister's whispered curse clearly, but she saw a flash of disgust in Hua Pozi's eyes, she firmly stretched out her hand, took her sister's cold little hand, and said in a low voice again, "Go, go out with my sister." ”

Although the room was as cold as an ice cellar, her sister's calloused hands were surprisingly soft and gentle, Yun Fang's heart finally had a trace of warmth, she hung her head softly, and walked out of the back room with her sister's gentle pull.

Watching her two daughters leave with pity, the look on Da Shanniang's face changed, and she apologized a little sneeringly, "Aunt Hua, don't you mind, Fang'er is still young and not very sensible." ”

Hua Pozi's eyelids drooped, sighed in a gesture, and shook her head exaggeratedly, "Alas, Dashan Niang, I didn't say you, you are also a poor person, why did you have such a child, you are really evil." ”

With the pretentious words of sympathy, the eyebrows and eyes of the flower woman were full of contemptuous ridicule, without the slightest pity.
