Chapter 22 Soldiers

Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.

Huzi said to me that there are many people in the city, and one step at a time, one step at a time, is an idea in the blink of an eye. It's not like those of us from the village can compare. Our best practice is to have multiple eyes, not to fool others, and not to be fooled by others.

Let's just talk about this white grandfather, an old man who looks very good, but is actually full of flowers.

As soon as I discussed it with Huzi, we said goodbye without saying goodbye, and drove back to our bookstore with our big satchel. After parking the car in the backyard, the two of us went out to the restaurant to get two plates of dumplings to eat.

After eating, I returned to the bookstore, lay down on the bed, and read a book in my hand. When I was sleepy, I fell asleep.

The next day, Huzi and I hung up a recruitment sign, intending to recruit a clerk. We were paid a good salary, eighty dollars a month, eight hours a day. That is, ten minutes, Da Juanzi took off the sign and broke into the store. Hehuzi is in a hurry, and he has to be this clerk here.

Huzi could only agree. In fact, Da Juanzi's personality is really suitable for this clerk.

In the afternoon, Aunt Tong, a fair-skinned mother, passed by here after work and came to our shop.

When I came in, I said I wanted to borrow two books to read. Actually, I know that this is the drunkard's intention not to drink, so I don't know what to do.

Whoever comes is a guest, and no matter what, we can entertain you well.

After Aunt Tong finished borrowing the book, she was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat in the bookstore and read the book.

After Da Juanzi left after work, Aunt Tong still didn't leave. She was reading quietly beside her, and there were two little girls reading with her.

Until the two little girls left, Aunt Tong still didn't leave.

I looked at my electronic watch, it was already half past eight in the evening, and Huzi and I were hungry.

At this time, Aunt Tong said: "Look at me, I am obsessed with reading and forget the time, I will invite you to dinner." ”

Huzi and I naturally refused, but Aunt Tong dragged us to the dumpling restaurant outside.

After eating the dumplings, Aunt Tong still didn't leave, but followed us back to the bookstore. Fooled me and Huzi.

After entering the bookstore, I said, "Aunt Tong, do you have something to say?" ”

Aunt Tong suddenly smiled and said, "It's still Chen Yuan who understands Auntie, Auntie really has a few words to say." ”

I said, "Then you can say it." It's not early, it's dark outside, and it's not safe for you to go back if it's too late. ”

Aunt Tong smiled shyly at this time and said, "The fair-skinned child was spoiled by me and her grandfather,......

I hurriedly said, "Aunt Tong, it's really fine." You really don't want to apologize for this. ”

"No, no, I mean, Chen Yuan, I think you are really good, your family is simple, you are also diligent and sensible, and you have your own bookstore. I mean, what do you think of my fair skin? ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and then I smiled incredulously and said, "Aunt Tong, I think you misunderstood, I just met with Bai Hui." Besides, I'm just a country boy, fair-skinned and so beautiful and foreign, how can it be! ”

"You don't have to worry about this, Chen Yuan, just say, what do you think of my family's fairness?"

I scratched my head at this time and said in embarrassment: "Aunt Tong, I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry." Besides, I really don't feel like I'm fair and white. ”

Speaking from the heart, this is the implication of our countrymen. How can I reject people directly, I can only find problems from myself.

But the people in the city don't think so, after Aunt Tong heard it, she smiled and said, "That's good, Chen Yuan, I know your attitude." You wait for Auntie's news. ”

She couldn't be happy, and said, "Wait for Auntie's news." ”

With that, he left in a hurry.

At this time, I looked at Huzi with a confused face and said, "What is my attitude?" ”

Huzi said, "I don't know! Didn't you just refuse? What did she think? Don't city dwellers think differently than we do? ”

After closing the shop, Huzi and I collapsed on the bed, and when I had nothing to do, I combed my hair with the comb left by my grandmother. There is a rumor that says. Comb your hair before going to bed, sleep quality is particularly good, and massage the scalp to make your hair darker and brighter.

After combing for more than ten minutes, I put the comb on the bedside table. Watching "The Legend of Deer and Ding" intently, I don't know when I fell asleep.

The next morning, Huzi and I were woken up by a knock on the door, and it was only six o'clock in our watch. Huzi said as he got up: "This big juanzi is too diligent." ”

Huzi rubbed his eyes and opened the door, and it was not Da Juanzi who came in, but Aunt Tong.

Aunt Tong entered the house after she came in, and blocked me in the bed, she smiled and said, "Chen Yuan, let me tell you, last night I told my fair-skinned grandfather about you and fair-skinned, and her grandfather agreed in one bite." I also brought a love token. ”

As he spoke, he took out a mandarin duck jade plate from his bag.

This mandarin duck jade card is a good thing at first glance, and Aunt Tong put it directly on the bedside table.

When I put it away, I happened to see my comb, and Aunt Tong picked it up and said, "This comb is good, Chen Yuan, is this your family's ancestral?" ”

I wanted to say no about the marriage, but when she asked me this, I swallowed it back, and I had to answer the question first, and I said, "This is what my grandmother left behind, and she used a comb all her life." That's what I have in my family. ”

"Isn't this a good token of love? Chen Yuan, I took this thing, and the matter was settled. The family matter has been decided, do you know that you can't go back? She said and looked at the plum blossom mechanical watch on her wrist and said, "It's not early, I have to go." Chen Yuan, I'll tell you in detail about the origin of this mandarin duck jade plate another day, this thing is an heirloom of the Bai family. It is also the Bai family's commitment to marriage, and you can't go back on it if you accept it, you know? ”

As I spoke, I walked out, I wanted to chase, and when I lifted the quilt, I found that I was wearing a small pair of pants. Hurriedly retracted again, and I shouted, "Aunt Tong! ”

Aunt Tong shouted outside: "No need to send it, it's all my own family." ”

I yelled in the house, and then I immediately got dressed, and when I got dressed and chased out with the mandarin duck jade card, Aunt Tong had already ridden away on her bicycle.

Huzi leaned against the door frame and looked at me and said, "What's wrong?" Lao Chen, you can steal the fun. didn't spend a penny, and picked up a daughter-in-law for nothing. And she is also the daughter of the Bai family, you kid is cheap and obedient, look at your bitter and hateful look. But Lao Chen, this Bai family won't let you go upside down to be an old son-in-law! ”

I said, "That can't be." ”

Huzi said: "I don't think I can either. ”

At this time, I sighed and said, "What can I do, why am I married." I'm not ready for this, and besides, it's not suitable for us to be fair-skinned! ”

Huzi said: "Lao Chen, what kind of song does this Aunt Tong sing, why am I a little confused." ”

I didn't have a solid day, and I always thought about when to find Aunt Tong to make things clear.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, Aunt Tong came, and rang the bell when she arrived at the door. I came out with the jade plaque, and just as I was about to speak, Aunt Tong said, "Chen Yuan, tomorrow morning, you go to my house." Auntie still has an important thing to talk about today, if there is anything, I will talk about it at home tomorrow. ”

After saying that, Aunt Tong got on her bicycle and walked away.

Huzi and I looked at each other, and I said, "What's the situation!" This Aunt Tong has made me in a fog, Huzi, do you understand? ”

Huzi also scratched his scalp and said, "Lao Chen, things seem to be a little wrong. I'll go with you tomorrow to see what this Bai family is going to do. ”

Da Juanzi came out of it at this time and said, "I'm afraid it's not that this girl from the Bai family is pregnant, otherwise why are you in such a hurry to get married?" ”

Huzi patted his thigh and said, "It's really possible, Lao Chen, we must not eat this loss, do you know?" ”
