After the fifth day of the first lunar month, although there was no Lantern Festival, the people in the village had already begun to work, and the men of every household began to go to the town to worry about the seeds sown in spring, and those women began to go to work in Shen Qingqing's glutinous rice factory, striving to save some more silver for the new year.

When Zhang Yuan came back again, her face could be regarded as sad, Yulian and Shen Qingqing glanced at each other, but they were curious: "Sister Zhang Yuan, you were happy when you left, why did you look depressed when you came back, but what happened?" Yulian was straightforward and fast-talking, and several people were very familiar with it, so she asked directly.

"Alas......" Zhang Yuan let out a long sigh, put down the glutinous rice dumplings in his hand, and walked to Shen Qingqing's side and took a sip of tea. I'm worried now, my brother and sister-in-law said that I was going home for the New Year, but in fact, I was going on a blind date. ”

"Your brother and sister-in-law should be worried about your life's events, what about that man?" Yulian also came over to join in the fun, sat down and asked.

Zhang Yuan shook her head and almost wrote her disgust on her face: "It's not that I look down on people, but that man is really doing one thing in front of me and one thing behind his back, saying how good he is to me in front of my brother, sister-in-law and parents, but behind my back, he asks me not to do this or that." We had only met once, and he seemed to have eaten me and wanted me to give him two sons in three years. ”

"Yes, indeed." Shen Qingqing held the teacup and looked at the light snow falling outside, while the women in the glutinous rice factory were all working diligently.

Zhang Yuan leaned back in the chair and shook her head: "I really don't want to marry him." ”

"You don't want to marry him, and you should be." When Shen Qingqing heard this, he felt that this Wu Qiang was not a good person, and if Zhang Yuan married him, he would also jump from one fire pit to another. "Since you don't want to, then talk to your sister-in-law and brother, if it doesn't work, you will live in the glutinous rice factory, they can't see you here every day, and they shouldn't talk in your ear."

Shen Qingqing opened her mouth to speak, but she still had other thoughts in her heart, who was this Zhang Yuan thinking in her heart Yulian also told her before, although that Zhang Pengyun had a scar on his face, which looked extremely scary, but from the previous incident, it could be seen that he was an honest and reliable person.

But Zhang Yuan is a woman after all, she can't take the initiative to inquire about this matter recklessly, and she has to take action.

"Don't worry, Zhang Yuan, since you have reconciled with Fang Lu, your fate will be in your hands after that, since you are unwilling, if you don't want to marry, then no one will force you."

Zhang Yuan looked ahead, not knowing what he was thinking, it was bright for a while, and it was very dim for a while, and finally nodded his head heavily: "Qingqing, I know, don't worry." ”

Shen Qingqing couldn't rest assured in his heart, and when Lin Zhong went to Shilixiang Restaurant to deliver glutinous rice dumplings the next day, Shen Qingqing went with him.

After these days, the operation of Zhen Qian's restaurant has improved a little, and his face is full of joy, watching the two of them brave the heavy snow to send them glutinous rice dumplings, and they just stay to drink tea.

Shen Qingqing drank a cup of tea, knocked on the table with his hand and said, "Lin Zhong, you and Boss Zhen are here, and I will go to the official mansion." ”

"But what happened?" Lin Zhong held her hand all of a sudden, and the ten fingers were very tight.

How much Lin Zhong cherishes his teeth to have such a reaction.

Shen Qingqing smiled and slapped his chest: "Look at you, what can happen, but because of the cold thing, I want to go to that Zhang Pengyun and ask." ”

"I'll go with you." Lin Zhong stood up as he spoke.

"No, no, no." Shen Qingqing hurriedly shook his head. "I have other things to ask, it's not convenient for you to be next to a big man, it's okay, it's very close anyway, if there is any danger, you will also know, don't worry."

Shen Qingqing smiled as she said and went to the official mansion.

It's really a coincidence, just as Zhang Pengyun was on an errand today, when he saw Shen Qingqing coming over, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Madam, what is the matter with you coming over today?" ”

Zhang Pengyun didn't know who he was saving at the time, but when he came back, the county magistrate said that he knew Shen Qingqing's identity, for ordinary people, Shen Qingqing can be regarded as a rich family, if others would have greeted her with a smile, but Zhang Pengyun still treated her politely, neither humble nor arrogant.

Shen Qingqing was very happy in her heart, it seemed that Zhang Yuan really didn't see the wrong person.

"I'm here to ask about the kidnappers, who is this cold man? Did his parents find him? ”

Zhang Pengyun shook his head, and his face became solemn again: "Those kidnappers don't say whether they live or die, we have exhausted the torture but we can't pry a word out of their mouths, I went to inquire about this cold and cold, he should not be from our town, that is, from outsiders." ”

"Outlander?" Shen Qingqing's eyes widened, which was similar to the conjecture in her mind.

Although Han Han is young, she is gentle in every move, extremely polite, she used to think that Han Han was an unfavored child in the family, so no one came to look for it if it was lost, but after this period of getting along, she changed her mind in her heart.

This poor family must be either rich or expensive, otherwise they would not be able to teach such a well-bred child.

"I'm afraid it's going to take some time." Zhang Pengyun poured Shen Qingqing a cup of tea and spoke.

"It's okay, it's okay, let's live in my house first, anyway, he and Xiao Douding play very well, and the two little brothers take care of each other." Shen Qingqing took a sip of tea, his eyes turned to Zhang Pengyun again, and his painting style changed. "Zhang Zhutou, I really want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid several of us would have died in Huangquan."

"This is what I should do as a headcatcher."

Shen Qingqing looked at the scar on his face and said, "I don't know if it's inconvenient for Fang to ask where the scar on your face came from?" If you have a scar since you were a child, then it may be difficult to marry a wife. ”

Although Shen Qingqing's words were very direct, it was expected that Zhang Pengyun, a person who practiced martial arts, would not mind, and he could ask him if he was married.

Sure enough, this Zhang Pengyun laughed very heartily: "This scar is not innate, but I went to the battlefield in the early years." Because of the war. ”

"Oh? You've been on the battlefield before, huh? Shen Qingqing was surprised, he didn't expect this person to be so brave.

"That's right." Zhang Pengyun sighed heavily, as if he was caught in the memories of the past. "It's just that my mother is seriously ill at home, so I have to come back and be a head catcher, and I want to be by my mother's side."

"Then your wife must be very virtuous."

"Nope." Zhang Pengyun lowered his head and looked at the table, not to mention how sad he was, but there was nostalgia in his eyes. "I lost my wife at an early age, that's why I went to the battlefield, and there was no wife in this family except for me and my old mother."

According to Zhang Pengyun, he can be regarded as a poor man, a battle-hardened veteran who became a catcher in a town for his mother, and a man of such a size has no one to take care of his diet and daily life.

Shen Qingqing felt sad in her heart, and she made up her mind even more for a while, she chatted with Zhang Pengyun for a while, and then returned to Shilixiang Restaurant.

Shen Qingqing returned to the village, he didn't go home immediately, but went to the glutinous rice processing factory, and Zhang Yuan really hadn't joined the Communist Party yet.

Shen Qinshi took out a handkerchief and greeted him with a smile: "Zhang Yuan, I can tell you a good thing." ”

"Qingqing, I'm so annoyed by Wu Qiang's affairs now, don't tease me now, what good can I do." Zhang Yuan opened his mouth and smiled.

Shen Qingqing shook her head, the more she felt that there was hope for things with Zhang Pengyun, so she said directly: "I went to the official mansion today to ask about Hanhan, and by the way, I found Zhang Pengyun......

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Yuan heard this name, her eyes lit up, with anticipation.

Shen Qingqing didn't deliberately hang her: "That Zhang Pengyun told me that he was a real man when he was on the battlefield in his early years, and he had no marriage match, he only married a wife, but his wife had passed away." ”

"I didn't expect this big brother Zhang to be a poor person."

Everyone calls Zhang Pengyun Zhang Zhutou, but Zhang Yuan is the only one who calls him Brother Zhang, and it seems that he is already very close to him in his heart.

"How?" Shen Qingqing didn't pick out the words, but just carried her shoulder.

Zhang Yuan was naturally happy in her heart, but after thinking about it, she thought of something.

The matter between her and Fang Lu was in an uproar before, if she was just divorced, it would be okay, but about that Wang Jisheng's insult to herself, how you want to erase it, it can't be erased.

If Zhang Pengyun is so powerful, and she is just a defenseless rural woman, what if the two of them are not in the right household?

Although this Zhang Yuan is usually gentle and gentle inside, she still has an inferiority complex in her bones, Shen Qingqing said this with her, and when she thought about it, she turned her body around, and her tone was full of disappointment: "Qingqing, he is a headcatcher holding an iron rice bowl, and who am I?" My reputation has long since been ruined. ”

Humility from the heart, everything is inferior to others, Zhang Yuan is probably like this now, after being hurt, when facing happiness, he will feel thorny, and he wants to touch it but he has to take his hand back.
