Xiangzi walked into the county office and saw Kong Qingwen muttering something with County Magistrate Liu.

was about to retreat, but was seen by County Magistrate Liu. Chong Xiangzi waved his hand and said, "Just talking about you, the county government has nothing important these days." It just so happens that the Kong family wants to ask you for help with something, so you just live there, and I will ask people to find you if there is something, so you don't have to run back and forth. ”

Xiangzi, some of the second monks were confused, and looked at County Magistrate Liu suspiciously. Seeing that County Magistrate Liu was holding back his strength and stopped talking, he glanced at Kong Qingwen again, and saw that he was just pursing his lips and smiling.

Shoko muttered hesitantly, "What the hell are you going to get, it's still Shinto." ”

Kong Qingwen smiled mysteriously at him and said, "Let's go!" You'll know when you go. ”

With that, he hugged Xiangzi and went out the door.

It turned out that after several contacts, Mrs. Kong liked Xiangzi very much, and Xiangzi was long and short all day long. asked Kong Qingwen to inquire about Xiangzi's life experience from County Magistrate Liu. The idea of recruiting Shoko as a niece-in-law was born.

Just as he was secretly thinking about how to make the two young people have this meaning, Xiuzhi shouted that he wanted to learn martial arts from Xiangzi. When the old lady heard this, she secretly rejoiced. I thought: Whether it's true learning or three-minute heat. Anyway, the two are familiar with each other, and some things are easy to say. So, he promised to let Kong Qingwen invite Xiangzi. Kong Qingwen is a filial son, he understands his mother's thoughts.

Moreover, his mother loves Xiuzhi like a daughter, as long as it is Xiuzhi's business, he must do it seriously. Speaking from the heart, he himself likes Shoko from the bottom of his heart. It would be great if it really became this family.

Seeing Xiangzi enter the house, the old lady greeted her with a smile on her face. At the same time, some eagerly shouted at the back room: "Xiuzhi! You, Brother Xiangzi, are here. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiuzhi floated over like a butterfly.

Everyone sat down, and the old lady said to Chong Xiangzi, who was straight to the point: "Xiuzhi wants to learn some skills from you, so you can look at my old face and promise her?" ”

Xiangzi was slightly stunned, scratched his head with a somewhat embarrassed expression, tilted his head to glance at Xiuzhi, and said with a wry smile: "You really learn?" ”

When Xiuzhi heard this, she hurriedly flashed in front of Xiangzi, clasped her fists with her hands and said, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down.

Xiangzi hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, I will teach you." ”

Here, the mother and son of the Kong family have laughed.

The old lady held back her laughter, and said with a smile as she walked to the back room: "You young people say it yourself, I'll let this girl laugh to death." ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and entered the back room.

Kong Qingwen leaned back and laughed for a while, and said, "Do you really want to apprentice?" ”

Xiuzhi saw that everyone was laughing at her, and she didn't know what she was funny about. The etiquette of apprenticeship and art, she saw it in "Water Margin". Today, I did what I did.

Shoko returned to her seat and said with some seriousness: "It seems that you really want to learn." ”

Xiuzhi nodded innocently yes.

Xiangzi pondered for a while and said, "You don't have to learn from scratch, in terms of fists and feet, I'll teach you a few basic skills first."

Then, teach you some self-defense offensive and defensive skills, and it will be enough. As for riding a horse and shooting a gun, it's simple, as long as you master the essentials and practice more. ”

Shoko paused for a moment, and then continued, as if muttering to herself, "It's just that I can get you a smaller pistol, my shell gun is too heavy for you." ”

Seeing that Xiangzi said about the gun, Xiuzhi stared at Kong Qingwen with a dripping gaze.

Kong Qingwen hesitated for a while, as if he had made up his mind, sighed lightly, got up and entered the inner room. After a while, he walked out with a small wooden box in his hand. He glanced at Xiuzhi obliquely, and muttered, "I know that you are thinking about me." ”

Xiuzhi made a grimace at him, her heart was so beautiful that her face was dyed like a peach blossom.

Kong Qingwen put the wooden box on the table and opened it, and silently pushed it in front of Xiangzi. Shoko took a look, and there was a Browning pistol and two packs of ammunition inside.

Xiangzi took out the gun, skillfully disassembled the gun body, and said with a "tsk" in his mouth: "Such a good gun is not well maintained, it is rusty." ”

Kong Qingwen, with a look of indifference, said, "Hey, it was sent by my senior last year, and I don't like to fiddle with it." This time, two more packs of bullets were brought. This is not? Just in handy? ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiuzhi sourly.

Xiuzhi smiled elegantly at him and said, "This is called using things." ”

Kong Qingwen pouted and smiled and said, "Why don't you say, a good gun with a beautiful woman?" ”

After laughing for a while, Kong Qingwen looked at Xiangzi with earnest eyes and said, "You can live in the house, so that it is convenient to teach Xiuzhi sooner or later." Plus, I'm going to give you a gift. ”

As he spoke, he dragged Xiangzi towards the backyard.

When he came to the stable, Kong Qingwen pointed to a sturdy chrysanthemum green horse and said, "This horse was given by my classmates in Yili, a purebred Ili horse." It's just that the temperament is a little strong, and ordinary people can't lower it. BMW with hero, I gave it to you. ”

Xiangzi looked at the chrysanthemum with affection, reached out and touched its head. The horse also looked like a picture of joy, and nodded to Xiangzi and barked a few times.

Kong Qingwen said with a little emotion: "Oh, it seems that the horse also knows heroes, and looking at its appearance, it seems to have seen a long-lost owner." ”

Xiangzi said with a happy face: "It is indeed a good horse, but I have no merit, how can I accept such a valuable gift from you?" ”

Kong Qingwen patted Xiangzi on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Last time, it was you who rescued Xiuzhi." This time, I have to work hard to teach her skills. Giving you a horse is nothing, this is also what my father meant. ”

Seeing that, Xiangzi and Xiuzhi get along day and night, riding horses and shooting guns. The Kong family thought that this marriage was a foregone conclusion.

After dinner, Mrs. Kong dragged Xiuzhi to her room, looked a little radiant, and asked Xiuzhi, "What do you think of Xiangzi?" ”

Xiuzhi smiled softly and said, "Then do you need to talk about it?" He is a good person who is one in a hundred. ”

The old lady squinted and smiled, and said, "Do you like him?" ”

Xiuzhi said without thinking: "I like it, who in the family doesn't like him, I think you treat him better than your own son." ”

The old lady smiled with satisfaction and said, "Of course the niece and son-in-law I chose can't be wrong." ”

Xiuzhi paused suddenly, and then asked tentatively with a suspicious face, "What niece and son-in-law......

The old lady said proudly: "Xiangzi, he has a good character and ability, and there is no one in the family." I'm going to give him to you as a son-in-law. ”

When Xiuzhi heard this, she glared at her in surprise and said, "Auntie, why are you talking and talking, just go around here?" ”

The old lady glanced at her, and her voice became lukewarm, "What's the matter?" Aren't you happy? ”

Xiuzhi looked a little flustered and said, "No, no, it's just that I'm still young and in school, I'm afraid it's ...... to say this now."

The old lady suddenly sank her face and said, "Seventeen or eighteen people, are you still young?" If you want to be in the countryside, you will be a mother for a long time. I've discussed with your eldest brother and sister, first get you engaged, and then get married after you finish school, and that's it. ”

Seeing the aunt's determined look, Xiuzhi didn't dare to say anything. The absent-minded old lady said a few gossips, and then silently went back to the house.

The old lady finished her evening class and walked out of the Buddhist hall.

Seeing Xiangzi enjoying the shade on the stone bench in the garden, he beckoned and said, "It's just so that you are here, I have something to say to you." ”

Shoko, follow the old lady to the inner room. The old lady said straight to the point: "What do you think of Xiuzhi's girl? ”

Xiangzi was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "Yes, people are smart and studious, and they can also endure hardships." ”

The old lady smiled mysteriously at him and said, "Would you like to be my niece-in-law?" ”

Xiangzi's heart shook suddenly, and he said with a somewhat flustered expression: "You mean, me and Xiuzhi?" No, no. Xiuzhi is a foreign student culture, do I only know a few big characters, how can I be worthy of her, not worthy. ”

Seeing Xiangzi's frightened and self-deprecating appearance, the old lady smiled kindly at him and said, "If I say I am worthy, I am worthy." Xiuzhi will graduate in half a year, so I will give you the marriage first, and Xiuzhi will get married after graduation. You don't have to worry about anything, just wait to be the groom's officer. ”

Xiangzi looked anxious and wanted to say something, but the old lady waved her hand lightly and said, "This matter is so decided, you can also go back to the house to rest." ”

Xiangzi had no choice but to go back to the house full of worries.

Because Shoko and Xiuzhi have their own hearts. Therefore, when you practice your fists and feet, you are also listless.

Xiuzhi had an idea, dragged Xiangzi and said, "It's cool this morning, let's ride out of the city, right?" ”

Shoko knew that Xiuzhi had something to say to him.

After a period of contact, Xiangzi felt that Xiuzhi was not only handsome and beautiful, but also open-minded and beautiful. If you want to say that you don't like people, you don't even believe in ghosts. But Xiangzi is a mature and stable person after all, and he has his own measure.

He went out of the south gate and dismounted in front of a willow tree.

Xiuzhi's expression was a little melancholy, and Chong Xiangzi smiled sadly and said, "Auntie told you everything, right?" ”

Shoko nodded a little crampedly. Immediately, he set his eyes on the distance.

Xiuzhi sighed lightly, and with a pair of beautiful eyes, she glanced at Xiangzi for a while. Try to keep your voice as calm as possible and say, "There's something I have to make clear to you. You're a rare good person, and I like you too. However, when I was in school, I already had someone I liked. We plan to go to Yan'an to join the revolution after graduation. ”

Seeing Shoko, his eyes looked at himself calmly, and he did not look disappointed or depressed.

Xiuzhi smiled gracefully at him and said, "Have you heard of the Communist Party?" ”

Xiangzi was shocked in his heart, forced a casual look, and said, "I heard my master say that they are specially for the poor to fight the world. ”

Xiuzhi said in surprise: "You know this, too? That's what we went to them. ”

Xiangzi looked at Xiuzhi suspiciously and said, "Are you a communist?" ”

Xiuzhi shook her head with a shy smile and said, "I'm not yet, he is." ”

Xiangzi seemed to have realized and said to himself: "I heard that it is very dangerous to be a communist, and if you don't do it well, you will lose your head." ”

Xiuzhi said lightly and firmly: "There will be sacrifices in the revolution, and an epoch-making change will require a large number of people with lofty ideals to go forward and do it one after another." ”

Seeing Xiuzhi's desperate look, Xiangzi's expression became a little solemn and said, "What can I do for you?" ”

Xiuzhi looked at Xiangzi with grateful and trusting eyes, and said, "What I am embarrassed about now is that if I refuse this marriage, my aunt will definitely be angry." If you don't get it right, she will not let me go back to school and force me to marry you. If I agree to this marriage, you will be the one who will hurt in the end. ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he smiled calmly and said, "I'm not so fragile, just according to what the old man said, you will go back to school if you get married." I'll take care of the rest. ”

Xiuzhi sighed lightly with an embarrassed face and said, "That's too much to owe you." ”

Xiangzi smiled heartily and said, "What is owed or not, just think of it as a contribution to the revolution you mentioned." That's it, let's go home for dinner! I'm hungry. ”

Looking at Shoko, a relaxed and natural look. Xiuzhi's heart suddenly heated, and a warm liquid broke free from the invisible inhibition and rushed out of her eyes.
