Chapter 187: A Woman's Heart
This year's spring is not at all like spring is like winter, I originally thought that after Chinese New Year's Eve, spring will be able to spring sowing, but I did not expect that after Chinese New Year's Eve, it will be even colder, snow for three or four days in a row is also a common thing, there are diligent women will go to Shen Qingqing's factory to work, there are those lazy women simply directly at home to cook three meals a day.
Others can stop, but Shen Qingqing can't stop, the forest is gone, there is a lack of labor in the family, she has to be busy with all the big and small things, and the women in the glutinous rice processing factory are half less, but Zhen Qian and their orders don't know why they suddenly increased, and they still have to catch up with sales.
There was a bonfire and hot tea in the factory, and the women were talking and laughing, but it was quite hot when it was snowing heavily.
There was a woman who came late, and just took off her coat and said, "Qingqing girl, I'm really embarrassed, someone from the government is here, so something is delayed." ”
"Someone from the government?" Shen Qingqing put down the glutinous rice dumplings in his hand and asked with concern. "Why did the people in the government come, could it be that something happened to your family?"
"Hey!" The woman slapped her thigh. "What can happen to our family, now I work in your glutinous rice factory every day, although I don't earn much money, eating is still not a problem, last year my house collapsed by snow, so the newly appointed county master asked the officers and soldiers to come and check whether there was a problem with our house."
"Not to mention, the newly appointed county master is really responsible." One of the women immediately answered. "Yesterday, our house was also inspected, and the head catcher looked quite scary, with a scar on his face."
"Zhang Pengyun?" Shen Qingqing knew who it was as soon as she heard the woman's description.
The topic of the woman had already been introduced to other places, and Shen Qingqing only said something that no one cared.
At noon, Shen Qingqing saw that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and it was a problem to walk, so he simply said directly: "Ladies and aunts, you won't be using it this afternoon, we will pay you half a day's salary, if this snowy day comes, what will happen on the way." ”
The winter was already freezing to death, and those women were not so hot when they worked, and they were happy to hear Shen Qingqing say this.
When Shen Qingqing returned home, Zhang Yuan and Yulian were busy in the kitchen.
Yulian had just put the stewed bone broth on the table when she said, "Why did my sister come back so early today?" ”
"I see that the snow is too big, so those women don't need to get off work early in the afternoon, and we will have a good rest this afternoon."
Zhang Yuan was wearing a scarf in the house, looking at the fluttering snowflakes from the window, and couldn't help but feel a little sad: "I don't know what happened this year, it's clear that spring is about to start after Chinese New Year's Eve, and it's still so cold, and this snow is endless." ”
Although they are women, they are still worried about the fate of the country, and if there is a flood like last year and a foreigner invasion, then their life will not be so good.
When she was talking, someone suddenly knocked on the door, Yulian opened the door diligently, and when she saw someone coming, she sighed: "This is a rare guest, you come in quickly, why are you here?" ”
Shen Qingqing and Zhang Yuan looked at it, and it was really as Yulian said, it was Zhang Pengyun.
Zhang Pengyun was wearing a head-catching suit, with a hat on his head, and his body was hot as if he had just come back from work.
Shen Qingqing glanced at Zhang Yuan again, and sure enough, Zhang Yuan had lowered her head, and a touch of Hong had crawled on her face.
Shen Qingqing smiled and asked Zhang Pengyun to sit down: "Zhang Zhutou, why did you think about coming to my house today?" ”
Zhang Pengyun drank a cup of tea, and his body was hot: "It's not that many houses in your village were crushed by snow last year, and this year the county master asked us to come over and investigate." ”
"I heard from the lady in the glutinous rice factory." Shen Qingqing accosted.
Zhang Pengyun wiped the sweat on his forehead: "No one has come to do this kind of drudgery, only I have to do it, in the morning, I helped the villagers strengthen their houses and clear the snow, but I was worried about the cold, so I came over to take a look." ”
"With so many people under your hands, why don't you let them do it? You're a headcatcher, so why bother with so much effort? As soon as Zhang Yuan heard Zhang Pengyun speak, she spoke without thinking about it.
She's distressed.
Shen Qingqing and Yulian both smiled, but Zhang Pengyun was stunned in place, his eyes were also red, and his voice was very soft when he spoke again: "Since I am a head catcher, I also want to set an example for them." ”
Zhang Yuan also realized that what he said was too ambiguous, and hurriedly sat next to him again, but his eyes never left Zhang Pengyun's body.
Zhang Pengyun sat for a while and was itching, the room was full of women and only one man, and he stood up directly when he thought of this: "I came here to see Hanhan." ”
"It's good to get along with the little brother in the cold room."
Zhang Pengyun stood up with a smile and went to the bedroom to talk to Han Han for a while, and soon came out again and said, "If there is nothing wrong, I will leave first." ”
"Zhang Zhutou, be careful on the road, this is a snowy road." Shen Qingqing and Yulian both stood up, but Zhang Yuan was still sitting on the chair with a scarf, although there was no change in his movements, but his eyes never left Zhang Pengyun's body.
Shen Qingqing and Yulian saw all this in their eyes, and they knew it as soon as they guessed it.
Yulian smiled and went to the kitchen to continue her work, while Shen Qingqing sat next to Zhang Yuan and looked at the scarf she knitted, and couldn't help asking: "Zhang Yuan, the female worker in your hand is really good, and no one in the village can compare to you." ”
Zhang Yuan was embroidering a pair of mandarin ducks on the scarf, lifelike, Zhang Yuan smiled: "I have been doing these things for so many years, even if I can describe them from memory, I can tell you that you are really smart." ”
"What's the use of being smart?" Shen Qingqing lay back, the whole person was very leisurely, and glanced at Zhang Yuan again. "I see, it's not interesting for me to embroider this mandarin duck myself, but it's interesting if you give it to someone else."
"Give it to someone? Who am I giving it to? Zhang Yuan put down the mandarin duck in her hand, looked up, and couldn't understand what she meant.
Shen Qingqing's voice suddenly raised: "Go and give it to Zhang Pengyun, Zhang Pengyun is so responsible, although he is a head catcher, he does everything himself, he is honest and honest, and he is extremely loyal, I think he is the best match for you." ”
"I'm a head catcher, how can I look down on me." Zhang Yuan lowered her head again, although she was doing work, but she was full of sorrow.
Shen Qingqing patted her on the shoulder: "What is worthy of not being worthy, if you really like him, you will chase him." Men and women who are unmarried, what do you want others to say so much, and the most important thing is to grasp happiness in your own hands. ”
Zhang Yuan looked up at Shen Qingqing when he was about to say something, but he lowered his head again, muttered a sentence in his mouth and said, "I...... I have other things. ”
With that, he ran back to his bedroom.
Yulian put a plate of fried pork on the table, and when she saw Zhang Yuan's back, she also sat down: "Sister Qingqing, this Sister Zhang Yuan obviously likes Zhang Pengyun, but why does she have such an expression." Was she angry? ”
"Not angry." Shen Qingqing's eyes were too transparent, and he had already understood it. "This Zhang Yuan is probably thinking that she has been divorced once, and Wang Jisheng's incident happened again, and she has low self-esteem in her heart."
"Low self-esteem?" Yulian is still a girl of eighteen or nineteen, who has not passed through the world, and she doesn't know how to love this kind of heart that wants to love but doesn't dare to love.
Yulian just shook her head: "I don't understand, sister, I remember what you taught me before, if you like someone, chase it, don't care who that person is, maybe the two of them will have a chance to be together, meeting is fate, it is rare to be able to get together in such a big world." ”
Yulian said and looked out the door, her eyes were full of clarity and innocence, which was a girl's heart that only belonged to her age. Shen Qingqing and Zhang Yuan are incomparable.
"You, so do you." Qingqing shook her head and sighed, and just when she wanted to get up, Yulian pulled her: "Sister, I think we should help Sister Zhang Yuan." Do you want to talk to her? ”
"That's what I thought, too." Shen Qingqing nodded, and after lunch, Yulian went to brush the dishes and chopsticks.
The two children both took a nap and lay in the room, suffering from empty neuropathy, Shen Qingqing took Zhang Yuan's hand, and the two of them talked about family life: "Zhang Yuan, when I didn't contact you before, I heard that you are a very capable daughter-in-law in our village, beautiful and clever, I have been in contact with you for a while and found that it is indeed the case." ”
"Qingqing, don't make fun of me, if I'm more beautiful than capable, how can I compare to you?"
"Nature can be compared, I have always felt that you are too inferior, maybe you can ......"
Unexpectedly, when Shen Qingqing's words were not finished, Zhang Yuan stood up, and her whole head was about to fall to the ground, she crossed her hands, glanced at Shen Qingqing, there were tears in her eyes, and she just wanted to say something but swallowed it in her stomach again.
Finally, she spoke: "Qingqing, I suddenly remembered that there was something at home, and I had to go first." ”
As if running for his life, he left quickly, ignoring the heavy snow outside.
She obviously wanted to avoid it, and she didn't want to talk about this kind of thing with Shen Qingqing.
Yulian was still thinking about the conversation between the two of them in the kitchen, but after a long time, seeing that there was no conversation, only Shen Qingqing came out and asked curiously: "What about Sister Zhang Yuan?" ”
Shen Qingqing shook her head: "Zhang Yuan doesn't want to talk to me about this, and we can't force it, so let her go." ”
"yes, it's good to be able to save your life for years like this."
Shen Qingqing and Yulian sat in the hall and looked at the snow outside, Zhang Yuan walked too quickly and didn't close the door, a gust of wind blew over and felt cold, but the charcoal fire in the room didn't feel like it was in the bone.
Fortunately, Shen Qingqing had renovated all of his home last year, not to mention heavy snowfall, but heavy rain for ten days and ten nights, and there would be nothing to do in the house.
But it is bitter for some villagers, the villagers' houses are already poor, but some thatched houses would have been successful if the snow had fallen for a day or two, but some thatched houses had already collapsed after continuous snow like this winter.
"Sister, when do you think the snow will stop?" Yulian had never seen such a big snow before, and she couldn't help but be a little scared.
Shen Qingqing hugged her in his arms: "It will stop, this snow will stop one day." ”
Shen Qingqing looked at the snow outside, and suddenly thought that she had been away from home in the forest for four or five days, in this era, there were no telephones and no mobile phones, and it was difficult to transmit messages, and her amiable and lovely husband didn't know where she was.
