"Divorced?" Liu Erniang was very surprised, her eyes were round, she didn't expect Huzi and Sanya's kiss to retreat so quickly.

"Really, the Zhao family has a room full of people. Li Zheng said on the spot, 'The Zhao family took out 20 taels of the 40 taels of the marriage gift and returned it to the Zhang family, and the two families exchanged divorce letters, and the matter ended here. Li Zheng and the old lady of the Zhao family testified. So many people in the village have seen this with their own eyes, I can still lie to you. "The one who came to report was the Li family, who usually played well with Liu Erniang.

Liu'er's mother still couldn't believe it and asked again: "So, my relatives really retreated."

Li's voice was high and he said in a heavy tone: "I really retired, I didn't come back until I saw the marriage certificate returned."

Liu'er's mother suddenly started crying, and asked while crying: "So, my Liu'er is saved, and his family wants to marry me Liu'er?"

Li Shi hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it for Liu Erniang, "What are you crying about!" That's a good thing, laugh. This tiger, that must be to marry Liu'er! Who else can you marry if you don't marry Liu'er. ”

Li continued: "I heard that in the past two days, it has been rumored that Liu'er's life is also very blessed, and he is a kid in his belly, and he is even more blessed."

Liu Erniang held back her tears and asked with a sobbing voice: "Really, is it really like this outside?"

"Really, you come here, I'll tell you." Li pulled Liu Erniang, who couldn't stop shedding tears, over and whispered in a low voice, "I heard that yesterday, Hu Ziniang went to the town to tell fortunes from Zhang Blind, and Zhang Blind said that Liu Er was blessed and could marry." ”

Liu Erniang couldn't wipe her tears and hurriedly asked, "What did Blind Zhang say?"

Li pouted and said, "Who knows, that's what it means anyway." ”

Liu'er's mother burst into tears and laughed: "I'll just say it!" When I was a child, the frogs outside barked all night. It turned out that it was me Liu Er who was a lucky star. ”

Li propped himself up and asked in surprise, "Is there really a frog that has been calling all night?"

Liu Erniang didn't cry anymore, wiped her face carefully again, smoothed her hair, glanced at Li Shi and said, "There can still be a fake, I can't sleep." ”

After saying that, he suddenly remembered something, and slapped the table with the hand holding the handkerchief and said, "Ah! Forget, forget, I have to tell Liu'er about this quickly, lest she do something stupid again. ”

Li also remembered Liu'er at this time, and hurriedly urged her: "Yes, yes, go quickly, go quickly." ”

Liu Er was very surprised when she heard this, her expression immediately turned from sadness to joy, and she actually ate a bowl of rice under the persuasion of her mother. The next morning, Liu Er got out of bed in good spirits and walked happily around the yard.

The people who came to visit Liu'er were amazed, and after that, the rumors that Liu'er was blessed became even more popular.

On the third day, the Zhang family invited a matchmaker to be a matchmaker.

Liu Er's mother asked for forty taels of silver, and the Zhang family also reached fifteen taels, and the two families exchanged marriage letters on the fifth day, and they got married half a month later.

Liu Er is at home to get married. The Zhang family happily bought things and prepared to marry their daughter-in-law.

Sanya's mother has to scold at the door at noon every day, and she scolds so much that she spits at the star, and others persuade her to stop after persuading her.

As soon as the morning dawned, Zhao Lan got up early as usual, Zhao Ju's little girl slept soundly, her little arms and legs were exposed, and Zhao Lan tucked the quilt before going out of the room. Yesterday, Zhao Lan's mother seemed to have caught a cold and went to bed early after dinner. Zhao Lan got up a little earlier today, and Zhao Shen hadn't gotten up when he got up. After Zhao Lan finished washing, she began to make breakfast. Boil a pot of rice soup, don't make cakes if you have steamed buns, and make a few multigrain cakes if you don't have steamed buns. Yesterday I didn't eat enough buns, and I didn't make noodles in the evening, so I can only make multigrain cakes this morning.

The multigrain cake is very easy to make, there is very little white flour, always mixed with a lot of corn flour and so on. First, knead the flour into a dough, wake up slightly, then cut it into small pieces, roll it out, brush some oil in the pot to prevent it from sticking to it, and cook it on low heat. The hot cake is actually quite delicious, but it is not delicious when it is cold, it is dry and hard, and it is difficult to chew.

By the time Zhao Lan had cooked the rice, Zhao Shen hadn't gotten up yet. Zhao Lan looked at the water in the tank and thought that 80% of Zhao Shen's condition should not get better today, don't ask me why, the cycle of a cold is a week, take medicine or not, it will be fine in seven days, how many people don't know!

Water must be used, of course, someone has to choose, Zhao Shen is sick, so Zhao Lan can only go. Zhao Lan took out the wooden bucket and put it on her shoulder in a decent manner. Zhao Lan weighed it, it's okay, it's not heavy. Zhao Lan's house is about three hundred meters away from the river, which is not too far. Zhao Lan calculated, from which side to walk closer, the empty bucket has no weight, and it will be heavy when it is filled with water! To pick up such a heavy barrel, of course, the less you walk, the better.

Zhao Lan lowered her head and thought about the road.

"Zhao Lan!"

There was a hint of surprise in the shouts.

Yuanhe.

Zhao Lan held the bucket and looked at the Yuan River in front of her blankly.

The sunlight shines softly on Yuanhe's slender body through the faint fresh mist of the early morning. His long eyelashes sparkled in the sun, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, with a smile of surprise, like a white first quarter moon in the night sky. The smile rippled like a wave, and it kept swinging into Zhao Lan's heart round and round. Who can resist the temptation of beautiful men.

"How are you doing this?" The beautiful man's surprise turned into surprise.

What do you mean I do this job? Zhao Lan woke up from her beauty. What's wrong with carrying water? I'm not a rich lady, living a life of clothes to stretch out my hands and food to open my mouth.

"Carry water! There is no water in the house. Zhao Lan explained.

"No," Yuan He looked a little anxious, didn't know how to speak, and spoke a little incoherently, "Isn't it all your mother's pick?" Do you embroider at home, like a rich lady? ”

"My mother is sick, I'm the biggest, of course I have to work."

Are you mistaken, I'm a peasant girl, how can anyone who doesn't work, and a rich lady!

Yuan He asked strangely: "Haven't you always been a young lady at home and don't have to work?" ”

In the past, Zhao Lan may have really not worked, but now I am idle!

Zhao Lan replied unhurriedly: "No! I still cook at home, sweep the floor, water the floor, do laundry, and wash dishes! ”

"Ahh Didn't you always want to be a lady? ”

I want to too! Not really!

"But I'm not!" Zhao Lan is serious.

"Haven't you always been? Why not? Yuan He's voice was a little impatient.

This kid can't get out of the horns.

It turns out that Zhao Lan has always regarded herself as a young lady, and Yuan He loves Zhao Lan who is a young lady. But how can there be a young lady! Even if Li Zheng's daughter Chun Tao can't be considered half a miss! Tutoring, literacy, vision, heritage, to be honest, how can you do it in the countryside.

"I never was." Zhao Lan moved the flat burden on her shoulder and said truthfully, "I still have to carry water, so I won't tell you." Good bye! ”

After Zhao Lan finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the river.

Yuanhe was there, trying to stop her, but he hesitated and didn't speak. Trying to keep up, I took two steps and stopped. It seems that Zhao Lan can't understand the matter of carrying water.

Zhao Lan came to the river in a low mood and ran into Grandma Liu coming to carry water.

"Good morning, Grandma Liu."

"Lan'er, come to fetch water too! Where's your mother? ”

"My mother is not feeling well, and she hasn't gotten up yet."

Zhao Lan replied as she unloaded the buckets on her shoulders, picked up one of them, carefully stood on the stone near the water, and put the bucket into the water, but the bucket floated on it, Zhao Lan pressed it down, but couldn't press it. His face turned red all at once.

What about this thing, there is no trick to see when others get it, a bucket of water comes up with a light mention, why can't I do it, just look at it and haven't done it, and the business is not proficient.

Grandma Liu next to her smiled and said, "Come, I'll come, you are small, the bucket doesn't go down like this."

Zhao Lan stood aside embarrassedly, only to see Grandma Liu pressing the mouth of the bucket vigorously, and lifting it up vigorously when the water was almost full. Grandma Liu carried two half-buckets of water and put them on the flat ground, and said with a smile: "That's almost the same, no matter how much I guess you can't pick it up."

The flush on Zhao Lan's face hadn't faded yet, and after listening to Grandma Liu's words, it became even redder than just now.

Zhao Lan picked up the flat pole and picked up the water.

Ay! It's really heavy. Zhao Lan could barely straighten her waist.

Zhao Lan gritted her teeth, stood still, and then opened her legs, swaying the water, and walked home step by step. Walking to the door of Yuanhe's house, Yuanhe was still standing at the door, watching Zhao Lan struggling to carry the water, and the water was dangling in the bucket, feeling very incredible. Yuan He frowned, stretched out his hand, and retracted it again, but in the end he didn't say anything, did nothing, and watched Zhao Lan walk away.

The door that was open in Zhao Lan's heart seemed to hear the squeak of the door closing, and the heart that was still full of sunshine just now seemed to be about to rain.

The weight on the shoulders reminded Zhao Lan that the shoulders were so hot and painful that they couldn't stand the weight anymore, so they couldn't wait to bend down immediately to put down the bucket, but if they put it down, where would they have the courage to pick it up again, so they could only grit their teeth and persevere, the unhappiness in their hearts could only be hidden in their hearts, and now they just wanted to get home quickly.

When I entered the house, I heard Zhao Shen's complaining voice: "Put it down, put it down, who told you to carry water!"

Zhao Lan watched into the courtyard, immediately put down the bucket, rubbed her shoulders with her hands, and estimated that her shoulders were red. If you haven't done any work, you just can't bear it.

"Who told you to go, you kid, it hurts!" Zhao Shen hurriedly walked over and spoke distressed about Zhao Lan in her muffled voice that had caught a cold.

Zhao Lan smiled happily with her mouth open. Zhao Shen is a good mother who loves her children.

Zhao Lan rubbed her shoulders and walked towards the stone bench, but she thought about the Yuan River she had just met. To say that you don't have a good impression of Yuanhe is a lie. It's a wonderful feeling to be liked by such a handsome young man. However, just now, he watched Zhao Lan walk away without even saying a word, although he was distracted by the pain just now, but the sadness was still in the bottom of his heart, lingering.

Zhao Lan's heart was like a blockage of a stone, she wanted to move it but couldn't move it, she kept thinking in her heart why would you help me?

All day, Zhao Lan was not in the state. Always floating in front of him, Yuan He's surprised face. Maybe there's something else besides surprise.

How to solve worries, only Du Kang, without Du Kang, eating can also solve worries.

The next day, early in the morning, Zhao Lan ran to the backyard, looking at the cowpeas still with dew, and her eyes were about to drool. I muttered in my heart: Sour cowpea, sour cowpea, I'm Zhao Lan here.
