She helped Sister Lian calculate, in the past six months, the fourth brother has only gone home three times. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info Every time I came back, I took the money from my father and ran back. Did he forget that there was his own home in this compound? Forgot to wait for his sister Lian at home every day? Several times, Lan Er went to the town in the middle of the night to catch the traitor, wanting to teach the stinky teacher Dai a good lesson. Every time, the fourth brother was either discussing with Teacher Dai about running a school, or they each returned to their respective rooms. She was not caught, but was caught by the fourth brother. --Late one winter night, she went to the window of the fourth brother's room. She heard the fourth brother and Teacher Dai arguing violently, and the content of the quarrel seemed to have nothing to do with building a school, but about a book. What kind of book makes them so bickering? Lan'er saw through the gap in the window that under the small oil lamp, the fourth brother was shaking with a booklet, almost roaring at Teacher Dai, but Teacher Dai was laughing, the smile was shallow, quiet, and a little, a little what? It was many years before Lan'er found the answer, and it was a fearless smile. This scene accompanied Lan'er for the rest of her life, and no matter when, this scene sometimes jumped in front of her suddenly. It was too cold, and there seemed to be silvery white snow and frost on the grass outside the courtyard. Lan'er curled up in a ball under the window and fell asleep.

Lan'er woke up and smelled the faint fragrance of plum orchids emanating from the pillow. Dad likes plum orchids and has planted several varieties. What she smelled seemed to be Merlan. The fragrance of Mo Lan is elegant, soaked into the heart and spleen, and it is refreshing. At this time, the smell of sweat on the fourth brother's body also came to his nose unceremoniously. When I was a child, the fourth brother liked to run around with her on his back and sweat, which is the smell. Lan'er decided that she would never catch the fourth brother and Teacher Dai again in the future, and she would not study with them in a new-style school in the ancient town. She's going to Changsha. There are better new schools in Changsha! With this decided, Lan'er rolled over and got up and went home. The bed was made of a few fir planks, and as soon as Lan'er got up, the bed creaked. The fourth brother said, "Wake up so soon? Lan'er saw that there was a low square table next to the bed, and there was a small vegetable oil lamp on the table. Under the light of Douda, the fourth brother and Teacher Dai were reading a book on their knees. Lan'er didn't speak, put on embroidered cloth shoes, and was about to go out. The fourth brother said, "Hey, this black rumbling guy, where are you going?" ”

"Go home!" Lan'er replied stiffly. "Look, look, it's so dark, aren't you afraid that the wolf and the old worm on the mountain (the locals call the tiger a big worm) will take you away?" The fourth brother said. "Don't be afraid!" "Not afraid? Then aren't you afraid of ghosts? ”

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door!" After Lan'er finished speaking, she glanced at Teacher Dai by the way. "Then I'll send you." The fourth brother stood up and said helplessly.

"No, you don't." Lan'er snatched the wind lantern from the fourth brother's hand, and walked out the door with a step.

The fourth brother said, "Hey, I forgot to ask you, what were you doing just now?" ”

"My mother made dumplings and asked me to send them to you......" Lan'er wanted to say "you", but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed the word "we" back. "What about the dumplings?" "I don't know. Probably asleep, stolen by a wild dog. Wen Zhong smiled. Lan'er saw that Teacher Dai, who had not spoken, also flapped her long eyelashes and smiled.

Teacher Dai asked, "Lan'er, what else did you see just now?" Lan'er stood at the door and said without looking back, "I didn't see anything." ”

When she went out, Lan'er thought, when Teacher Dai asked her what she saw, her smile was so beautiful! The fourth brother and Teacher Dai can't tell Sister Lian, looking at Sister Lian's eyes looking forward to the fourth brother coming home every day, Lan'er's heart is as uncomfortable as being chopped. She simply couldn't see it and went to Changsha to study. That's five years. --Lan'er took out a handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes for Sister Lian, and said tentatively: "Sister Lian, the fourth brother is ......" "He's fine." Sister Lian took out a snow-white handkerchief, slowly spread it out, and said calmly: "A few days ago, your fourth brother went to Shanghai to buy teaching instruments, and by the way, I bought it for someone, right?" Lan'er saw that the handkerchief was embroidered with a heron flying close to the water, and on both sides of the heron, there were a few reeds and lotus flowers swaying in the wind. Pretty. After Lan'er finished speaking, she was sad for a while, and quickly turned her head away. She didn't want Sister Lian to see her unassuming tears pouring down...... Sister Lian put her hand on Lan'er's back and said, "Turn your head." Lan'er shook her back and didn't turn. Sister Lian put her hands on it, turned Lan'er around, and said with a smile: "I have already figured it out and am used to it." Don't cry, when you cry, I can't figure it out again. If you can't figure it out, go and skin your fourth brother to eat, don't blame me. ”

Lan'er "fluttered" and burst into laughter. She took Sister Lian's handkerchief and said while wiping her tears: "Have you thought about it, if the fourth brother marries Teacher Dai as a concubine, are you willing?" ”

"Look at you," Sister Lian poked her finger into Lan'er's forehead and said, "You also studied at the Provincial National Girls' High School." Don't you know? Aren't feudal things like three wives and four concubines scolded by you new-style students? ”

"Ouch, Ouch, Sister Lian, you really impress me!" Lan'er was surprised and said, "How do you know this?" Sister Lian said, "Second brother, oh, and Master Chen Yukun, who comes back often." As soon as they arrived at the dinner table, they talked about these new terms. Fortunately, my father married three wives, which was a thing of the past. Otherwise, he would be ashamed of himself. ”

Lan'er giggled: "Hey, why did that Chen Yukun stay for so many years and not leave?" "How is it to rely on? People said several times that they were leaving, but the second brother refused to let him. Oh, I see, don't say that the second brother and him are so good that they are about to wear the same pants, even our family's silk reeling factory can't do without him. Sister Lian was overjoyed and gushed: "He is very good at managing things, and he has made a lot of money in the silk reeling factory!" However, I think he is also the second brother who gave him a high salary so he didn't leave. Otherwise, he would have been back to Shanghai a few times, and he wouldn't have come back again. "Oh--" Lan'er nodded, thoughtful, "Is this person anything else?" "New terms are often spoken at the dinner table, but they are usually silent. Especially when I saw our women, I didn't even look at it. Hey, laugh at what, that's true. If you don't believe me, go back and see, and you'll know. ”

Lan'er looked at Sister Lian in a daze, thinking: Sister Lian may like this person in her heart. If the fourth brother divorces her to marry Teacher Dai, and she marries this Chen Yukun, it will not be the best of both worlds.

Sister Lian said happily, and suddenly, she saw Lan'er fall silent. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood in her heart. She smiled awkwardly and said in her heart: Lan'er, don't think of Sister Lian and me as ****, don't you dare Sister Lian!

Sister Lian's pitiful appearance made Lan'er feel a lot of pain. She wanted to say, Sister Lian, what are you afraid of, the fourth brother can do this, why can't you? But how can this be said? Lan'er took Sister Lian and gently stroked her back, just like when she was a child, she was bullied; Sister Lian hugged her and stroked her back, and the anger in her heart gradually straightened out......

Lan'er and Sister Lian are as close as a person. Many people muttered in private, saying that this Lan'er and Sister Lian were born differently from their parents, and they still look so similar, like sisters! Back then, the eldest lady traveled thousands of miles to Nanyue Longmu Temple to ask for a daughter for the lord. The abbot was surprised, and said that the pilgrims who burned incense and worshiped God in the Nanyue Temple all asked for children, and this female benefactor donated so much silver taels to ask for a daughter. The eldest lady didn't dare to hide it from the master, so she told the truth. The abbot pondered for a moment, and then said: "There was just a female pilgrim who came here with her husband to ask for a child, and it happened that she was repeatedly drawn to the lottery. The husband was so violent that he threw a girl who followed him to a female pilgrim and walked away. They must have a hard time, and there is a reason for this, so it is not appropriate to ask, but they only pity the mother and daughter. If the donor says, you might as well look for the ......"
