On the way, Yue Kang said: "Don't look at me idle like a boy all day long, in fact, my strength is great, this bit of firewood is nothing, my strong body is as light as a swallow even if I add two more bundles." Yue Kang pretended to be very relaxed, but in fact, he had secretly complained in his heart, he had walked almost two miles, why hadn't he arrived! It's a weight of more than 100 pounds on his back! His shoulders were already sore and unbearable, but considering the problem of the man's face, Yue Kang still pretended to be relaxed.

I couldn't help but think in my heart, Ping'er went up the mountain to chop firewood every day and then carried it back, Yue Kang didn't dare to imagine how the girl did it. Yue Kang made up his mind to pay attention to the mother and daughter.

Ping'er turned her head and said with a bright smile: "Gongzi Yue is different from the rich children of other families, he has a good heart, he doesn't have a little shelf, and he also bullies people, Ping'er can know Gongzi Yue, it's really Ping'er's blessing." ”

Yue Kang laughed, and his heart was very useful, "Then I am such a good person and still call me Gongzi Yue, can't I call Brother Yue?" ”

The girl's face turned red and she shouted softly: "Brother Yue......"

"That's good, so that the son-in-law seems more distant." Yue Kang said happily: "How old is Ping'er this year?" ”

The girl replied, "Eighteen years old." ”

Yue Kang sighed, "Ping'er, how far is it from your house?" Yue Kang asked, his shoulders feeling like they couldn't hold it anymore.

"Brother Yue, are you tired, if you are tired, let's rest for a while!" Ping'er said crisply.

"Tired, not tired, I'm just asking." When he said that he was not tired, Yue Kang felt a little painful, and now he began to regret that he had just praised his body for his strength, and now he said that he was tired and did not attract people's jokes? How faceless I am!

"Oh! If Brother Yue squeaks when he is tired, it will be there soon. Ping'er said, he saw sweat on Yue Kang's face, and wanted to help wipe it, but he didn't have the courage to raise his hand.

Yue Kang heard that it was almost there, and he was overjoyed that he was finally here, but what Ping'er said later almost didn't make Yue Kang squat on the ground, and let out a loud sigh.

"Go over the three hills in front of you and you'll be there." Ping'er said very easily.

Yue Kang's heart was suddenly cold to the soles of his feet, and he looked ahead in despair, according to the distance pointed by Ping'er's finger, there were at least three miles to go, and it was a rugged mountain road, Yue Kang wilted, like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Fortunately, Yue Kang rushed to the village where Ping'er lived before he got tired.

Always entering the village, the villagers looked at the two people who came over curiously along the way, and there were many discussions, most of them guessing Yue Kang's origin. However, most people guessed that it was another pig who wanted to arch cabbage, and the young man in the village looked at Yue Kang with a hostile gaze.

The more Yue Kang is like this, the higher his head will be, and he talks and laughs with Ping'er, and the smile is still very arrogant.

Ping'er's home looks very dilapidated, not as good as the average house in the village, seeing those houses made of stone, Yue Kang can't help but think of his own home when he was a child, when the family also lived in the mountains.

I unconsciously remembered that when I was a child, I always liked to take mud and still enter people's yards, and when I heard someone in the yard yelling, I ran away, and several partners got together, and the crooked ideas were endless.

"Brother Yue, what do you want?" Ping'er saw Yue Kang standing at the gate in a daze, so she asked.

Yue Kang came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered what happened before. ”

As he spoke, Yue Kang walked in with Ping'er.

Putting the firewood in the corner, Yue Kang's shoulders suddenly relaxed a lot, and this time he looked at Ping'er's house carefully.

Ping'er's home is very simple, a small square courtyard, the main hall is a three-room house made of stone, and the moss around the house from the cracks in the stone proves that the house is some years old, and there are several places on the wall that are obviously added later.

The yard is clean and there is no clutter.

Ping'er took out a basin of water, put it on the stone table in the courtyard and said, "Brother Yue, wash your face!" Thank you so much today. ”

Yue Kang pretended to be angry and glared at Ping'er, "If you are polite to me again, I will have to spank your little ass." ”

When the girl heard this, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she reached the root of her ears, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

Yue Kang smiled in his heart, it felt good to tease the women of the good family.

After washing his face, he took the towel handed by Ping'er and wiped it briefly.

"Brother Yue, let's sit in the house and drink a glass of water!" Ping'er poured out the water that Yue Kang had washed his face and took another basin, and simply washed it herself, and then said.

"In the house? This is not good! The ...... of lonely men and widows" Yue Kang's brows were furrowed more than zongzi, but his eyes kept looking into the house.

The girl originally thought that there was nothing else to let him sit in, but who knew that he thought of a part, which made the girl's face even redder.

"Brother Yue, don't look at it, my mother is not at home." Ping'er said in a weak voice.

Yue Kang's careful thinking was broken, and his old face didn't blush, "This, since Ping'er invited me so warmly, then I'll sit for a while?" Okay, just sit down for a while, nothing else. "Yue Kang is a serious way.

The girl suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, she was thinking about whether she had lured the wolf into the room!

The three rooms are simple, the main entrance is a living room, and the left and right sides are where Ping'er and her mother sleep.

Ping'er's house has almost no furniture, just two chestboards for clothes, which are very old, and then there is a table for eating, which has a broken leg, so it has to be cushioned with a large stone to maintain the balance of the table.

At this time, Yue Kang felt a little strange in his heart, it stands to reason that their mother and daughter sell tofu flowers, although they can't make a lot of money, but their lives are not so simple! Not even a medium-sized family.

Ping'er's room is even simpler, just a bed, Shenma dresser, Shenma cosmetics, all in her room are floating clouds, everything is floating clouds.

Yue Kang took a sip of the hot water handed by Ping'er, and couldn't help asking: "It stands to reason that you can make a lot of money selling tofu flowers, why is life still so difficult." ”

Without Yue Kang saying it bluntly, Ping'er knew what it meant, and the girl lowered her head a little sadly, and did not answer Yue Kang's question immediately.

After a while, the girl raised her head, her eyes were a little red, and she said, "All the money earned has been paid off." ”

"Paying off debts?" Yue Kang frowned.

"It's a gambling debt that my father owed when he was alive." The girl said softly.

"And what about your father?" Yue Kang's heart was sour, the father and son were really bitter for the mother and daughter.

"After my father lost the money that time, he didn't have the face to come back to see our mother and daughter, so he jumped into the river and committed suicide." The girl couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears that had been rolling in her eyes quietly flowed down.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read! It's really the suffering of the world, everyone takes one!

Yue Kang didn't want to make the girl sad anymore, so he hurriedly put aside the topic and chatted with Ping'er around the east.

Before you know it, it's noon.

"It's getting late, I'm going back, I still have some things to do." Yue Kang stood up and said to Ping'er, he had already made up his mind to take care of the affairs of the Ren family, and let them go to work thousands of miles drunk, at least then their lives could be improved a lot, Yue Kang also thought about throwing off a few heavy silver tickets and giving the mother and daughter a life, but thinking of the girl's surname, he would definitely not ask for his own money for no reason, and he was even more afraid of arousing the inferiority complex in the girl's heart.

"Brother Yue, let's go after eating!" Ping'er said, but he didn't mean to keep Yue Kang in his heart, he didn't want Yue Kang to eat at her house, but there was nothing at home, just a few yellow wotou, do you want to use a few wowotou and some pickles to repay the guests, Ping'er herself felt panicked, and she didn't let people laugh to death when the time came, so it was a little unnatural when she spoke.

"Eat?" Yue Kang looked up at the sky, it was already noon, and said, "Since Ping'er has repeatedly kept me, if I refuse, it will be contrived, okay!" I'll eat before I leave. Yue Kang said helplessly, look at how "considerate" he is!

Yes...... Ping'er exclaimed, out of a matter of face, she was just polite, when did she keep it again and again, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Ping'er's face.

Yue Kang was calm on the surface, looking at the girl's expression, his heart was already happy.
