The old man originally asked the uncle to drive the ox cart to accompany him out for a walk, but Zhang Jie did not agree, whether it was the uncle or his own old cattle, it was an important labor force in the family, and now is the time for the autumn harvest and sowing, but he dare not delay the harvest of the whole family because of his own careful thinking.

Wang insisted on stuffing more silver taels into Zhang Jie's package, and even asked the next-door neighbor to borrow two silver ingots, but Zhang Jie was unwilling to take so much silver money on the road, not to mention whether it was appropriate for a young man to bring so much money, he was just going out for a spin and distracting, how could he still ask his family to borrow money to make himself ruined.

But in the end, Wang secretly shed tears on the side, saying that where is there less than ten taels of money on the study tour of the scholar, and no one hurts his own hard-working baby, and he also goes out to study, and only gives a silver ingot at home.

This was not broken, and in the end, Zhang Jie had to reluctantly take the two silver ingots borrowed from Wang's hand.

When going out, the family was sent to the door, as if life and death were parting at the gate of the courtyard and waving goodbye, so Zhang Jie was also in a gloomy mood, and even had the idea of not going out otherwise, but when he got on the road, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, but he just went out to relax, and it didn't take a few days to get together, as for being so sentimental!

Out of the village, I didn't go far along a sheep intestine path, and I saw the little aunt sitting under the shade of the tree in front of me, and I was relieved that the family had waved goodbye before, why didn't I see the figure of the little aunt, it turned out that she was waiting for herself here.

"Don't tell me you're going to go with me, a few steps away, or you'll be home soon!" Coming to the shade of the tree, Zhang Jie said with a smile.

"You are a scholar of the father-in-law, and you go out to travel to increase your knowledge, and my girl following you will only add more trouble." The little aunt who said a word to herself handed the small handkerchief in her hand to Zhang Jie, looking at the other party's puzzled look, Zhang Xia said softly:

"What the sister-in-law said is that every time the third brother goes out to travel, the family just can't open the pot, and they have to make up enough money for the third brother to make up three or five silver ingots, these two times they went out to meet friends, and they took the old man's coffin, since your third uncle is like this, you have to save money when it is not your turn, the sister-in-law took you three silver ingots, here are seven, and you can make up enough ten silver ingots for you, go out, don't treat yourself badly, and, you are young, don't be stupid to take out all the silver money in front of outsiders, forget it, You know more about this than I do, so I won't talk about it, just remember not to treat yourself badly. ”

When Zhang Xia forced the small handkerchief wrapped in a few silver ingots into her package, this time Zhang Jie just looked at her indifferently, but did not refuse.

After a while, looking at the girl who had grown into a beautiful girl in front of him, Zhang Jie grinned, waved his hand, and laughed while going on the road: "When my little aunt marries in the future, she must be a good wife and mother!" ”

In the girl's anger, Zhang Jie went on the road like this, his mood became sunny again, and his steps were a lot brisker, and he even hummed a song in his mouth as he walked.

There is not much distance in total, a nearby county town, if you can make a carriage, it will be there in two days, even if Zhang Jie walks slowly along the way, it won't take too long.

I inquired in advance, in Dama Village, a neighboring county, I heard Zhao Shuang say that the family she married was a wealthy family, and when she picked up the bride, Zhao Shuang said that she had seen the groom official once from afar, and she forgot what she looked like, and the only impression was that she had a good face.

The face is good, this is good, as long as you are a person who lives a life, there is nothing bad about being honest.

Along the way, all the way to inquire, maybe it was a fork in the road, and a big circle was spared halfway, so the journey that could have been reached in three or five days took a week, but there was nothing, just find it.

Dama Village is much larger than Zhangjia Village where he lives, at least three or five times larger, and the population living there is also several times more than Zhangjia Village.

At noon, every household was cooking and eating, and Zhang Jie was embarrassed to come to ask people at this time, so he simply opened the package and took out the dry food he bought on the road and ate it.

A meatloaf for three pennies, the pork inside is rare to be lean meat, and it is full of fragrant when you bite into it, but it's a pity, it took too long to buy, and the original brown skin outside is not crispy, if it is a meatloaf just out of the pot, Zhang Jie, the size of a palm, can eat five at a time.

At noon, it was hot, and Zhang Jie, who had eaten two flatbreads, sat in a shady place, holding a kettle in his hand and drinking.

Grunt poured a stomach of water, then I felt a lot cooler, suddenly looked up, and saw a tall girl in the distance was looking at herself in a daze, and my heart suddenly relaxed, which made me feel that the hard work of the past few days, and the blisters on my feet were worth it.

But he couldn't put a smile on Zhang Jie's face, but when he saw the tall girl turn her face and leave, she hurriedly got up and chased two steps, and then saw the girl reflexively enter a high-gate compound, so she stopped in a daze.

found a new place under the shade of a tree and sat down, his eyes kept sweeping over the courtyard that was obviously a wealthy family, and raised his head slightly, Zhang Jie closed his eyes so gently.

This little obsession in my heart, can I let it go?

I don't know, Zhang Jie himself doesn't have an answer, so think about it carefully, how this little obsession was formed, and how it can be lifted.

She was six years old at the time, and at the age of eight and a half, she looked very tall, and I remember wondering if her family had fed her eggs all day to grow so tall.

She was eight years old that year, she was ten years old, and she was already taller than most twelve or thirteen-year-old girls, she was a little beauty in ten miles and eight villages. It's just that at that time, my mind was in books, and I didn't pay much attention to the delicate thoughts of a little girl.

This year, she is twelve, she is fourteen, and she has completely become a big girl, as tall as when she was a child, her body frame is also very well-proportioned, and her face has changed from being young and beautiful that year to being so charming and moving now.

It's not a love affair, it's not, after all, the age gap is in the middle, and it can only be said that it is a convenient ...... for yourself!

A small wish!

When the sun is not so scorching, there are many children around laughing and making trouble, Zhang Jie looks at it with a smile, and occasionally comes to the interest and goes up to jump with a group of children, anyway, there is no one here who knows himself, there is no need to maintain any decency, there is no Zhang family here, and there is no Zhang family master, just a child with an empty mind.

Late at night, a large group of crazy children also went home, leaning against the big tree, closing their eyes but unable to sleep, and the chaotic thoughts in their hearts were disturbed, thinking not of the little girl, but of the world that was pressed down by themselves.

I think about the bits and pieces of that world!
