Chapter 20: Anxiety

"Brother, you're almost at the age of getting married, you should be married at a young age like you, hasn't your father married you before?" Bai Jiaojiao raised her head and asked.

"I also got married before, but because of some things, the person's character was not very good, so my father gave me a retirement." Qingfeng replied indifferently.

"Huh? What's going on? Bai Jiaojiao asked with some curiosity.

"The owner of the family who married had three sons and a daughter, and he saw that my father had some prestige in the village, and that I was an only child, and that in the end the inheritance of the family would also belong to him. Although there is nothing to mess with at home, it is surnamed Dong, and it is not his turn to call the shots. Once he came to the house to make trouble, saying that he wanted to get married quickly. It is because of the dowry we give them, they can take it to marry their daughters-in-law. Well...... The master of the house, the lion, opened his mouth and asked for twenty taels of silver. At that time, my father and I couldn't earn twenty taels of silver even if we worked hard, and then this family didn't get married. My father said that such a person with bad conduct really can't marry, marry a wife and marry a virtuous, and marry a concubine and marry a woman. Although a peasant family like ours can't get a concubine, he must be diligent and thrifty to marry a wife. Dad said that when he went to the house, I would have to worry about everything alone, so it was better not to marry. Qingfeng said.

"Oh my God, such a person is really shameless. But it's really chilling, if I were her daughter, I would have a hard life. Bai Jiaojiao was a little surprised and a little helpless and said, "Every day is calculated by the elders of the family, calculating how much money to sell, and how much silver taels is worth it." ”

"You can rest assured, Dad and Mom will never treat you badly, although Dad looks taciturn, but he is really good to Mom and you. You can see from the look in his eyes that he really likes you. He will never treat you badly, and the eldest brother will not treat you badly. Qingfeng looked at Bai Jiaojiao, touched her head with her hand, and continued, "I will protect you, and when I choose your mother-in-law's house in the future, my father and mother will consider it carefully." You may be a little poorer, and my father and I can also support you. As long as he's nice to you, there's nothing to say. If he does something sorry for you, I'll cut him. ”

"Oh, big brother, don't worry, even if you give me a counselor, I will definitely find someone I like, like me, and be good to me. Besides, I'm still young now, and I can't do things clearly. Bai Jiaojiao said with a little teasing: "I have never considered whether he is an anal resurrection or a Ping family man?" As long as we are happy with each other and cherish each other, it is the best. Heck, let's talk about it again, let's talk about something else. ”

"And what happened to that daughter?" Bai Jiaojiao asked.

"I heard from the people in the village that later his father married him to a town lord and became a concubine of other people, and took a lot of silver to make a living." Qingfeng said.

"That girl's life is really bad. Even if that person's family is rich and becomes a concubine for others, things at home are definitely a mess. The young man is gentle, and he is not sure what kind of road he will take. Bai Jiaojiao said with some pity.

"Yes, but people are different from what we seek, people seek wealth, we seek hearts, and the road is destined to be different." Qingfeng also sighed.

Bai Jiaojiao lowered her head and looked at the young man in front of her fixedly. This teenager is very delicate, and when he looks into your eyes, you will have a feeling of helplessness. His eyes are very bright, as if he can see through the world at a glance. But now at a young age, the momentum is far from so. The young man in front of him has thick eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and it doesn't seem to be a habit cultivated in the mountains and wilderness at all. It's more like he has been raised from the family for a period of time, and there is an unbelievable power in his bones.

Qingfeng must thank Dong Mingxuan for giving him such a pair of eyes, teaching him to practice literature and martial arts, and be full of economy. It would be a pity for a person who looks so ordinary to be a reckless man if he lives among the people.

Qingfeng looked at the woman in front of him and looked at him fixedly, and lowered his head a little shyly, he was no longer a young man who didn't understand anything. The woman in front of her has a pair of bright and wise eyes, and her eyes seem to be full of stars, but they are not visible on weekdays, and whenever she has some bad ideas, her eyes are as bright as stars, and her smile is very cute.

Qingfeng doesn't know what kind of mood he has for Bai Jiaojiao? It's just that every time I see her, I'm extra happy. I always feel that such a girl is very mature in her mental age, but sometimes she does things that are very naΓ―ve, sometimes when he looks at you, his eyes are full of tenderness, as if he is looking at a child, and sometimes when he looks at you, his eyes are very admired, as if you are her giant.

"Yiyi, yes. Did your family engage you when you were young? I heard that a family like you was beset at a very young age. Qingfeng asked a little embarrassed.

Bai Jiaojiao thought about it for a while, there was really no engagement in her mind, as if she, her mother and father were like an invisible person in the Bai family, and her father was still slightly taken care of when he was there, and after her father went, it became more and more transparent.

"It doesn't seem to be. I don't remember being engaged to anyone else, and my mother didn't tell me, maybe because my father was a concubine of the Bai family, so the old lady and lady in the family never paid attention to me and my mother. When my father was there, my mother and I could still have some activities of our own, but after my father went, there was no place for me and my mother in the house, so my mother and I escaped. Bai Jiaojiao said.

"Well, then you and your mother should have lived very hard before, right?" Qingfeng asked a little heavily.

"Actually, it's not very hard, our family is also very happy when we are together, my father respects my mother very much, and I have never married any concubines, so our mother and daughter are quite comfortable." Bai Jiaojiao swung her legs loosely, as if she was talking about other people's things. "Since the beginning of the war, various families have also begun to stay at home. For fear of being affected by this war, although the foundation is still there, it is no longer as chic as before, that is, there is just an empty shell, and they are all people with their tails between them. ”

"Ahh I'm really grateful for this war, in fact, I didn't feel that living in such a place before, living hard, but a gift. Such mountains, such water, such air, and such people, are simple, warm and happy. Live without intrigue, grow up wantonly, how many people ask for something but can't ask for it? Bai Jiaojiao said with bright eyes.

Qingfeng looked up at the woman in front of him and looked up as if it was a very happy thing again, and a smile appeared on his face. Originally, I wanted to ask him if he felt that his current life was hard, hungry, and uncertain. Every day is hard for life, but looking at her like this, I feel that I am indeed very happy now, and those things in the past have not hindered them.

It's like the war raged in the past, but now I still live here in peace, farming and working every day. The sun rises and the sun sets, and every day is very fulfilling and has a sense of superiority. It is indeed something that many young ladies and young masters in the clan have never experienced. They must also be living very hard in such a family that they can't help themselves.

The girl in front of me is so nice, not like those who have fled, from the days of wealth to the helplessness of fleeing, they complain every day. The woman in front of her cherished every day very much, counting every thing he had done like a treasure.

Bai Jiaojiao looked up at the house silently, they had been outside for a while, and it should be okay to go in now, and I don't know what my father needs.

"Brother, let's go in, we've been outside for a while." Bai Jiaojiao said.

"Okay, then let's go in now, I just want to ask my dad if he can move now." Qingfeng got up.

Bai Jiaojiao and Qingfeng entered the house, and when they saw Tang secretly wiping her tears, she took her hand out of Dong Mingxuan's hand.

"Dad, how are you feeling today? Actually, I think we've been staying at Uncle Lizheng for one night, and if you can move today, we'll go back to our own home. Qingfeng asked Dong Mingxuan inquiringly.

Dong Mingxuan thinks about it, it's not very convenient to be here now, and he has to cause trouble to others. Originally, there were five people in a family with three houses just right, but now they are forced to squeeze five people into one house.

"I can, I'm much better, the wound isn't very painful, let's go back today." Dong Mingxuan said.

Although the Tang family was a little worried about Dong Mingxuan's health, he also felt that it was very inappropriate to live here.

"Dad, then I'll go to Brother Dong's house to borrow his board car now, go home and pull a few quilts, and then give you a little softness, let's go home." Qingfeng said and walked out.

"There you go." Dong Mingxuan said.

"Dad, do you really think there's nothing wrong? Actually, it doesn't matter if we stay here for another night. I can make up for Uncle Lizheng's children and give some change or wild vegetables. Bai Jiaojiao said with some concern.

"No, let's go home, we can't stay here forever. After all, it's all hurt, so go back now, and you can toss less in the future. Dong Mingxuan said a little tiredly.

Dong Mingxuan knew that Bai Jiaojiao was for his good, and patted Bai Jiaojiao's hand with great relief, he used to think that his daughter was very good, she was a caring little padded jacket, but now she is sure that it is good to have a daughter.

"Yiyi, now it's going to be hard for you to follow Qingfeng, I really hope I can get better soon, so that I can take care of your mother. Your mother took you to marry me, and now I have made you suffer. Dong Mingxuan said with some self-reproach.

"Dad, what are you talking about? I don't feel very hard at all, but I feel very happy now. This is something that money can't give, it's care, it's love, it's respect, it's a priceless thing. Bai Jiaojiao said.

"Good boy, good boy." Dong Mingxuan said.

"Xianggong, it really makes me uncomfortable when you say this, I already feel very lucky to marry you, I have never felt so happy as now. With you and the breeze, and with our family together, this is the best happiness, and it is not hard at all. Tang Shi held Dong Mingxuan's hand and said.

"Dad, I used to think that I didn't have a father when I was very young, so I have never been able to open my mouth to call you Dad, but you have risked your life and danger for me, I think you are worthy of me to call you Dad, you are a very good person." Bai Jiaojiao said that there was some sour nose and sniffed hard.

"Good boy, don't blame yourself, although I am injured, I am still young, I can recover. It's okay, don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let you and your mother suffer. Dong Mingxuan took Tang's hand and patted it lightly.

After a while, Qingfeng took the cart into the yard, and Uncle Li Zheng knew that Dong Mingxuan and they were afraid to go home.
