35 And it was time of reunion
Two days before the Spring Festival, the county magistrate and his wife returned from the state, bringing five or six retinues and a wagon of goods.
The items are all for Hanakozhuang, food, drink, and use. There are a lot of rare things that are not available in the local area. Mrs. Sun bought two clothes for the old lady, and also bought a few of the most fashionable skirts for Xiao Qi, which is really the most fashionable style in the state city, Xiao Qi tried it on, and it was beautiful to wear. After seeing everyone, the two sisters went to the house to whisper.
The county magistrate Sun saw that the old lady and her brother were living well in the village, and the old lady was very happy to raise her white and fat, and said, "Thank you brother Xian, for taking care of my brother and my mother so well." ”
Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Your brother is my brother, and your mother is my godmother." We're all our own family, so we still need to see outside?"
The old lady saw Wen Lan more than her son, took Wen Lan's hand and said, "My good grandson has grown taller and fatter." ”
Wen Xuan is now six years old, full of heaven, white and clean, and has been educated very politely by the county magistrate and his wife, calling "grandma, grandma" one by one, what does the old lady ask, what does he answer, and when he sees fewer people, he asks grandma: "Where is Sister Huaying?"
The old lady knew that he wanted to play with Huaying, and said, "Huaying is naughty now, let's go, I'll take you there." The group came to the house where the toys were placed in the second courtyard, and Huaying and seven or eight children were playing games, and Tie Niu was guarding outside the house as always.
In the room there was a thin wooden board on the carpet, on which were painted latticework, numbers were written, and there was a large dice made of soft cloth and cotton, and the children threw the dice with it, and the dice fell, and whichever side was up took a few steps, and whoever reached the end first won the prize.
Flower Shadow's chessboard was still far behind, and she had just thrown out another one, and she was very angry, saying, "I'm all small today, all small." I pouted and wanted to cry, but tears rolled out of those black grape-like eyes.
The children who played with her were a little older than her, and when they saw that she was about to cry, they hurriedly said, "Why don't you just now?"
Huaying Tears were still rolling in her eyes, and she grinned happily again, picked up the dice, and was about to throw it, Wen Lan hurriedly ran forward: "Sister, I'll help you throw it." I'll throw you a big one. ”
Hua Ying heard that her father and mother had said that there would be guests coming to the village in the past two days, and Brother Wen Lan was also coming, so she hurriedly asked, "Are you Brother Wen Lan?"
"Yes, I'm Brother Wenxuan. ”
"Then you must help me throw a big one. ”
Wen Lan grabbed the dice and threw it into the air, and the dice fell to the ground and rolled twice. In the end, it didn't move, and the front of the dice happened to be a "six"! Now Huaying was overjoyed, and his mouth shouted, "Brother Wen Luan, you are so powerful, Brother Wen Luan, you are the best." "A group of children had fun together. Wen Lan also brought some toys, and the room was lively.
Some people are naturally sweet-mouthed. Some people are trained to be eloquent. Little Flower Shadow definitely belongs to the former. She is born with a sweet mouth, no one specially teaches her, she is born to say something flattering, "You are so good", "I like you the most", "I will be good!" ...... That mouth coaxes people to live without paying for their lives.
In addition, she looks very beautiful, her skin is pink and tender, her eyes are clear and watery, and she has a small cherry mouth. has innocent manners, playful and cute, she is really loved by everyone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a group pet.
She also has a killer feature. There was something unsatisfactory to her, the corners of her mouth twitched, and within a minute, the teardrops fell one by one like a broken pearl necklace, that pitiful little appearance, how wronged you are, how wronged you are, no matter who sees it, you can't resist it, you can only surrender.
But although she was only two years old, she had already begun to be naughty, she stepped on a high stool and then set up a small bench to take down the old man's favorite purple clay pot to play, and fell to pieces, Xiao Qi saw it, and wanted to punish her, before she could cry, the old gentleman quickly said: "I let her play with it." If it's broken, it's broken, I change the pot to drink tea, and any pot can make tea and drink. "Stop Xiao Qi from talking about her.
Xiao Qi told Zhuang Xiaochu about this, Xiao Qi said that he was so used to it, and Xiao Huaying was not sure what he would become in the future, Zhuang Xiaochu said: "My daughter is lovely." What are you afraid of, when we were young, we spoiled her, and when we were older, we had her husband's favor. She is so lovely, are you still afraid that she won't be able to find her husband?" Xiao Qi rolled his eyes at him several times in anger.
At dinner, Xiao Qi said to Mrs. Sun: "My sister is really good at education, look at Wen Luan, she is educated and polite, unlike my little flower shadow, who is naughty and mischievous." ”
Mrs. Sun said: "The flower shadow was beautiful when she was a child, and now the bigger and more beautiful, I want to get such a girl, I kiss it to the bone." Why don't you give me your little flower shadow as your daughter-in-law? I'll give you Wen Ling as your son-in-law. ”
County Magistrate Sun smiled and said, "That's good." Zhuang Xiaochu smiled and said, "That's good." The old lady smiled and said, "That's good." ”
Wen Lan heard that he sent Xiaohuaying to his family as a daughter-in-law, he didn't understand what his daughter-in-law meant, thinking that he would definitely be able to play with Huaying's sister every day in the future, and he was also very happy, and immediately took off the slingshot of his most cherished wallet tied to his waist and sent it to Xiaohuaying.
County Magistrate Sun said: "See, my son is smart, and he gave the dowry early." Everyone burst out laughing.
The evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is the time of reunion. Zhuang Xiaochu sent a car to pick up Chunxi.
Originally, Zhuang Xiaochu was still hesitant whether to answer, but Chunxi handed him a message in advance: "At the time of the reunion, I am going to meet my godmother, eldest sister, and godsister." ”
And he said, "I also toasted the tea and recognized the door, and you can't leave me aside." I've been wronged when I'm a child, so it's hard for you to make me a sneak. ”
Chunxi came, taking Qingmei and another buddy, Lin Sheng. I brought some snacks and fruits, and I met my godmother's eldest sister and sister.
Dinner began, red lanterns were lit, and firecrackers exploded for a long time. The big red round table was lined up in the courtyard, and the old gentleman, the old lady, the county magistrate and his wife, Brother Sun, Master Fan, Zhuang Xiaochu, Xiao Qi, and Chunxi sat at a table. Dacheng, Xiaowu brothers, cancer leg Li, lotus sister-in-law, Qingmei, Lin Sheng, and Zhu Laosi also sat at a table. The others found their own places to sit.
Zhu Laosi was originally sitting at the same table with County Magistrate Sun, but when he saw Qingmei coming, his eyebrows and eyes lit up, and he was transferred to Qingmei's table.
On Zhuang Xiaochu's right sat the beautiful and atmospheric Xiao Qi, and on the left sat the bright and moving Yang Chunxi. The picture is good, but the atmosphere is a little awkward. County Magistrate Sun joked to Zhuang Xiaochu: "Brother Xian is now very blessed, hugging left and right." ”
Zhuang Xiaochu said: "Brother Sun, don't make fun of me. ”
Xiao Qi said: "Since Brother Sun is envious, let my sister marry you too." ”
County Magistrate Sun laughed: "Don't dare." ”
