Chapter 342: First Sight (Part II)
After Shen Mei was well raised, she often followed behind the eldest mother to help with some housework, although she always made things more complicated, but the eldest mother just smiled and didn't say anything about her.
When several middle-aged people in the village who rescued Shen Mei from the river passed by, they would ask about Shen Mei's condition when they saw Shen Mei, and often women from the village would take advantage of this incident to visit Shen Mei, I don't know if such a mellow folk custom is happy or sad for Shen Mei.
Today happened to be the bride who helped the son of the old Li family to be a matchmaker in those days, and had already become a frequent visitor to the village chief's house, and the young talents in this small fishing village were the village chiefs, who were all in their twenties, busy with the big and small things in the village all day long, and the marriage was not settled.
Today, this bride is here again.
The eldest lady invited the bride into the room to sit down, Shen Mei saw the opportunity to act, and was very well-behaved and sensible to help bring tea, and she was always looked up and down by the visitors, and she was not annoyed.
"Auntie, your Yunpei is not young, tell me how many girls I have introduced here, eh~" Xi Niang showed a look of helplessness on her face, but her eyes kept flowing on Shen Mei.
"Yes, I also know the temperament of my unsuccessful son, and I have always let Chunhua worry about you, but I didn't hear that there is a big girl of the Zhou family in the next village A few days ago, someone told me about it, I don't know if Aunt Chunhua knows this family." Parents all over the world have been looking forward to their son being able to fill the house for their old Yun family's children and grandchildren, but Yun Pei has never had this mind, thinking that he can't let him live by his own temperament.
"Okay, change Ming'er. I'll ask you. The more Aunt Chunhua looked, the more she felt that Shen Mei, this little girl, was pleasing to the eye.
Looking at the eldest lady with a curious look, the eldest lady reached out to hold her hand, and Chunhua looked at Shen Mei carefully. Carefully glanced from top to bottom, the eldest lady only cared about thanking Chunhua for her help, everything was in friendship, "Thank you so much to him Aunt Chunhua." The eldest lady had a big smile in her eyes.
"Eh~ This girl is the girl who was rescued from the river by my family and a few people in the village that day!" Chunhua secretly speculated in her heart about Shen Mei's identity and chances, how could a big girl who looked such a symbol appear in this place in such a late autumn, the key was to save her from the river, if no one saw it, I was afraid that if it was too late, there would be no one left.
"Yes, this girl's surname is Shen, and her name is Shen Mei." It is inconvenient for other aunts to say more, but they have only brought it a little, these women in the village are some parents who like to talk about other people's families, and the aunt knows the temperament of this Chunhua aunt, and she has not finished her words. I saw her follow Shen Mei's kung fu when she went out to carry the water and turned sideways to get closer to the eldest mother, "I see, this girl looks good." It seems that he is also a kind-faced person, which is a coincidence, it is better to ......"
"Chunhua Niang, you're not right, how can other girls be so casual, you have to stop me, don't let the girls listen to it, feel uncomfortable." After listening to Aunt Chunhua's words, the eldest mother was made uncomfortable by her, as if their family wanted to take advantage of people's danger, and this thing couldn't be done. immediately rejected Aunt Chunhua's words, so as not to make people listen to it, which is not good.
"Gotta it, my stinking mouth." By the words of the eldest mother, she pulled the hand she was holding in her hand just now, and pretended to smack it in her face, and the two of them just acted as if what had just happened before, and in a blink of an eye, they chatted like a nobody.
"I heard that the daughter-in-law who married the son of the old Li family, something is not quite right." The eldest lady changed the subject.
Shen Mei went to the well just now to carry a bucket of water, and just as she was about to pick it up, a hand helped her take it, Shen Mei was surprised, and when she looked up, a man with delicate eyebrows and a calm temperament looked at her quietly, "Thank you, son, for your kindness." I can. ”
Shen Mei only felt that being helped by someone like this was probably a kind of trouble for others, she had never seen this son, and she didn't want to add unnecessary trouble to others, she reached out and held the handle of the barrel, the person's delicate eyebrows frowned slightly, and there seemed to be a little suspicion in her eyes, she didn't believe Shen Mei's words, but she didn't pierce it.
The man didn't wait for Shen Mei to make any more moves, he suddenly let go of his hand from the handle of the barrel, and with a few fluttering sounds, the water splashed out and splashed Shen Mei's water, the weight in Shen Mei's hand suddenly became a lot heavier, and his facial features suddenly became distorted because of this sudden, and the man still looked at Shen Mei quietly.
Shen Mei was very embarrassed to dodge his gaze, that gaze only made her feel panicked with nowhere to hide, the man looked at her change, his expression became a little subtle, and he smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth without a trace, and took the bucket in Shen Mei's hand that had embarrassed her and was unable to lift it, this time Shen Mei was not reckless with him, and followed the man into the house together.
Shen Mei still didn't jump out of the embarrassing situation just now, looking at the man's plain robe, giving people an indescribable sense of calmness and steadfastness, there is a person, even a look can give you a reliable peace of mind, and now the person in front of her, Shen Mei can feel this peace of mind. Realizing this, the embarrassment and embarrassment just now were swept away.
The man skillfully lifted the bucket to the side of the water tank, and poured the water into the water tank neatly, Shen Mei kept following behind him, thinking that this person was really strange, he didn't notice it just now, and at this time he gradually realized that he was too familiar with everything in the eldest mother's house.
"Brother Yun." Shen Mei opened her mouth and called the man with a somewhat cautious and tentative tone.
The man turned around, looked at her again, and said half-loudly, "You don't have to worry about the work at home, I'll just come." ”
I thought he would say something, and his thoughts turned a thousand times, but in the end I only heard him say something faintly.
Shen Mei nodded, and with a little shame, "Shen Mei didn't know ...... just now"
"Also, I haven't had the opportunity to see my eldest brother for a long time, and I haven't been able to say thank you to my eldest brother in person, thank you eldest brother for saving his life, and for taking Shen Mei in for his kindness, Shen Mei must have ......" just about to express her gratitude.
The man followed Shen Mei's meaning, "I don't want the girl to make a promise." ”
