Out of the ancient village of Dong Township (novella) Zhang Baotong

Yuhua said, "Before he had children and didn't get married, he had to be like this." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info wait until I have a child and get married, even if I raise him again. Wen Li sighed and said, "When he has a child and gets married, he will be able to survive until the end, but your hard life is about to begin." Yuhua said, "No, it was nothing to work in the field in the past, and after two or three months of being a receptionist, sitting under the pergola embroidering and chatting all day long, people have become lazy, and now let me work in the field, I am really a little unbearable." ”

Wen Li said, "But after all, our work as receptionists is temporary, and when we get older, the township will no longer want us, and we will have to work in the fields again." ”

Yuhua said, "No, working in the fields, planting rice and cutting rice is the business of our Dong women." If you don't want to go to the field, you can't marry someone from the city. Wen Li hurriedly shook her head and said, "However, the people in the city are unreliable, maybe one day people don't like you and kick you away, and at that time, we won't even have a place to live." Yuhua thought for a moment and said, "That's what you said." He let out another long sigh.

Then, Wen Li told Yuhua about her grandmother's introduction to Shunzheng again, and wanted Yuhua to give her an idea. Yuhua looked a little hesitant and said, "If I were you, I would definitely get along with Brother Xu, but I can't persuade you to do this, because I don't know if you will be able to live together in the future, and I don't know if he will dump you in the future." Because after all, we have not lived with the city people and the Han people. ”

Wen Li was silent for a moment and said, "Grandma said that I am not young, and I have to find a brother, if it is not good, she will find another brother for me." What do you say I should do? Yuhua asked, "Then what do you think of yourself?" Wen Li sighed and said, "However, I didn't fancy any of our elder brothers in the four villages of Dong Township." Yuhua smiled and said, "That's because I was fascinated by that Brother Xu." ”

Wen Li lowered her eyebrows and smiled and nodded slightly. Yuhua said, "In this case, you might as well be bold and give it a try, it is your blessing; No, you come back again, find a Dong elder brother and live as usual. Wen Li said, "Yes, but how can I say this to my grandmother and grandmother?" Yuhua said, "No, you just tell them directly, if you don't think it's good to tell them directly, I'll tell them." Wen Li thought about it and said, "It's only like this, it's a big deal to let them scold for a while." ”

was walking on the village road, when suddenly, Abba chased after him from behind and stopped Wen Li. Wen Li asked Abba what was the matter. Abba whispered, "Ali, you can borrow me some money." Wen Li asked Abba how much. Abba rubbed his hands together and squeaked and said, "One hundred, or thirty or fifty." ”

Wen Li was stunned and asked, "Why do you want so much money?" Abba looked very uncomfortable, thought about it, and said, "There is an emergency." Wen Li hesitated for a moment and said, "I gave all the money to my grandmother, and I only have ten yuan on me." Abba, let's use it first. As he spoke, he took out ten yuan from his pocket, gave it to Abba, and instructed, "Abba Mo wants to use this money to play pai gow, so that grandma and grandma know that he is going to scold me." Abba looked a little disappointed when he saw that Wen Li only had ten yuan, but he still took the money and walked away quickly.

Walking to the edge of the village, the sun had already set behind the mountain, and it was about to get dark soon. Wen Li saw that Grandma was still drying millet on the drying field, so she walked up to Grandma and said, "Grandma, you've been tired for a day, and you still don't rest?" Grandma said, "As soon as you put the grain away, it's over." Hurry up and play. The duet on the riverside bridge has begun. ”

At this time, you can hear the singing of the elder brother and sister on the side of the covered bridge not far away. However, Wen Li had to help her grandmother collect the millet that was drying on the field. Grandma didn't want her to help, so she said, "I don't want you to help, as long as you can match a brother who makes Grandma look at the one she likes, Mom is happier than anything else." ”

Yuhua said on the side, "Grandma, you just have to rest assured, Ali already has an elder brother, and he is still in the city, not only is he good-looking, but he can also earn one or two hundred thousand yuan a year." Grandma smiled, "Ah Hua is so good at joking." How can I, Ali, have such a great ability? Yuhua said, "If Grandma doesn't believe it, then wait and see." Grandma said, "As long as my Ali can find a son-in-law like you, I will be satisfied." Yuhua said, "As far as his ability is concerned, I haven't taken a fancy to it." If I were two or three years younger, I would go to the city to find a Han elder brother, and follow the Han elder brother to enjoy happiness. ”

Grandma smiled, "You haven't heard that Han brothers are all heart-to-hearted, earn a lot of money, and change a lot of women, and fall in love with this today, and fall in love with that tomorrow." Can you stand such a brother? Maybe I'll dump you one day. Then, Grandma said, "It's still our Dong brother." Don't say anything else, just say your family Ah Xiang, you want people, you want to be presentable, you have a good temper, you are busy all day long, you are busy at home, you never play pai gow or spend money indiscriminately, and you will not be dumped after a few days with you. Yuhua said, "If he really dumps me, I'll be thankful." I can now earn eight or nine hundred yuan a month, and I can spend it as much as I want, how good! ”

Soon, the township asked Wen Li to participate in the provincial minority tourism training meeting. The training took place at the Guifeng Hotel in Guilin. Wen Li was placed in a room on the ninth floor of the hotel. Standing on the ninth floor and looking down, the dense passing vehicles on the street are like ants, and looking at it makes people's hearts flutter and their heads spin. Looking around, there are boundless high-rise buildings, and when you walk into it, you can't even see a shadow. Therefore, Wen Li stayed in the room, not daring to go out, for fear that once she got out of the door, she would never be able to return to the hotel.

In the evening, there was another Dong sister named Yunmei, but she was from Longxi Township. Longxi Township is more than 100 kilometers away from their Yanshan Township, and it is a very famous Dong Township tourist area. Yun Mei is one or two years older than Wen Li, and as soon as she saw Wen Li, she took Wen Li's hand enthusiastically and said, "Ah, this girl is so beautiful, I'm afraid that there is already a brother, right?" Wen Li smiled slightly and said, "Not yet." Yun Mei shook her head in disbelief and said, "No one chases such a beautiful sister, I'm afraid that your brother over there is too short-sighted." Wen Li said embarrassedly, "That's not it, the main reason is that I just graduated from junior high school and I'm still young." The two were chatting when someone called Yun Mei. Yun Mei took the phone and said to Wen Li, "My boyfriend drove me to pick me up and go to his house for dinner." May come back a little later in the evening. After saying that, Yun Mei left.
