Qiao Yi stood on the edge of the pond and looked around from a distance, sure enough, there were several families not far away, and there were also two parked boats by the pond, Qiao Yi pointed to the boat and asked, "Second sister, is this boat our family?" ”

Qiao Liu, who was on the side, also looked puzzled when he heard this, stretched out his head and looked at the boat Qiao Yu was referring to: "Hey, there is really a boat, I haven't been here for a long time, I don't know much about this, my father hasn't mentioned it, maybe it's our family!" ”

Qiao Yi nodded and pulled Qiao Liu to go back, Qiao Liu was stunned for a moment: "Let's leave like this, do you really just want to take a look?" Qiao Yi couldn't help laughing: "Otherwise? Second sister, I promised my eldest sister, just to take a look, do you think I deliberately lied and wanted to do something bad? ”

Qiao Liu scratched his chin: "It's not, I just think that you suddenly mentioned that you want to see the pond, there must be a reason, not for no reason, I thought you had some idea again." ”

Qiao Yan smiled and shook his head: "I'm just coming to see, otherwise you see that the eldest sister is going to lock me in the house and guard it herself, I will definitely rarely have a chance to come out, so I just try it today, but it's still quite easy, so I just came out for a stroll and will go back in a while." ”

"Okay, okay!" Qiao Liu puffed out his mouth: "I thought we could have a good time, but you walked to the pond to take a look at it after you mixed it up like this, and then ran back again, it's really boring!" ”

Qiao Yi patted Qiao Liu's arm: "Second sister, my father and mother left so early today, they went to the market not to sell things but to buy things, and they will definitely come back soon, if we go back later than them, you will definitely be scolded, and my mother will definitely say that you are running away with me again." ”

Qiao Liu's mouth opened helplessly: "I'm innocent, okay?" Obviously I was pulled out by you, helpless! Ay. ”

Qiao Yi snickered and pulled Qiao Liu to hurry home, the two bypassed the path and saw Lin Shi in green clothes standing under the acacia tree and talking to Qiao Li from a distance, Qiao Liu muttered in surprise: "Hey, isn't that Brother Lin?" Why didn't he go into the house, why was he talking outside with our eldest sister? ”

Qiao Yan immediately pulled Qiao Liu's sleeve and pulled her into the back of the firewood stack beside her, put her index finger to her lips and gently "shh

Lin Shi didn't know what to say, and then took out a small box from his chest and gave it to Qiao Li, Qiao Li hurriedly shirked it, the two said a few more words, Qiao Li took the box with a shy face, the two of them said a few words, and Lin Shi left.

Looking at the disappearing figures of Lin Shi and Qiao Li, Qiao Yan turned his head thoughtfully, but saw that Qiao Liu was still covering his mouth and sticking out his head to look out, Qiao Yan pulled down Qiao Liu's hand: "Don't look at it, it's all gone." ”

Qiao Liu looked puzzled: "No, this, why didn't this Lin Shi enter the house?" It feels weird to stand outside and talk. Then he suddenly looked at Qiao Yi as if he remembered something: "Oh, my God, they won't be ......?" ”

Qiao Yi nodded: "It should be!" Then he asked angrily, "Why do you look stunned?" Isn't that possible? ”

Qiao Liu patted his chest and gasped: "Oh, my God, I don't mean no, I just really think it's quite unexpected, but, think about it carefully, Brother Lin is still very good, every time he goes home, he will bring us gifts, delicious and fun, I have no opinion on him being with my eldest sister, I think it's a good match!" ”

Qiao Yi bit his lip: "Brother Lin is good, his appearance and character are very good, besides, our eldest sister should have been married, many people in our village who are as big as the eldest sister have already married!" ”

After listening to Qiao Yi's words, Qiao Liu nodded in agreement: "That's what I said, but do we need to treat Brother Lin special in the future?" Give them a chance to get along or something? ”

Qiao Yan looked at Qiao Liu and looked at him with big eyes with a serious face, and he just wanted to hold his forehead helplessly: "Second sister, don't worry about this, why didn't Brother Lin enter the house and talk to our eldest sister at the door, didn't you think about it?" ”

Qiao Liu shook his head like a rattle: "Why? I think they should meet in the house, after all, they haven't discussed relatives yet, although there are very few people in the vicinity of our house, and there are no people now, but in case they meet like this, they will be seen talking about the eldest sister and Brother Lin, right? ”

Qiao Yi nodded: "It's because of this, two people are alone and widowed in the same room, whether they come out or go in, they will be talked nonsense by the ill-intentioned people they see, on the contrary, now the two of them are talking generously at the door, but they look clean." It makes people feel like it's just something between neighbors to explain, and also, we still pretend that we don't know how good it is, and the eldest sister didn't say that there must be a reason, if there is anything that needs us, let's still be careful to add fuel to the fire, don't be too deliberate. ”

Qiao Liu said okay in a loud voice, the two patted their clothes and ran back home as if nothing happened, sure enough, Qiao Li didn't say anything, just asked a few words and continued to do other things.

Qiao Yi and Qiao Liu sat side by side in the courtyard and fell silent for a while. However, the short peace was broken in an instant, Qiao Cheng and Zhang came back from the market, because there were too many things, Qiao Cheng gave an extra five cents to let Lao Zhang Tou drive the car to his door, Lao Zhang Tou parked the car in front of the door and helped move all the things to the hall regardless of Zhang's thanks, and then smiled and waved his hand and drove away again.

Everyone kept looking at the things piled up on the table, Qiao Cheng bought three jars of wine, a bucket of fish fry, and bundled fabrics of different colors, needles and threads, etc., Qiao Yi opened one of the jars and smelled it, the aroma of wine immediately came to his nose, Qiao Yi took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction: "Dad, you bought it too right, I'll put the osmanthus in it now." ”

Qiao Cheng was busy moving the wine jar into the house, Qiao Yi followed in, put the osmanthus into the wine jar in an appropriate amount, and then sealed the mouth of the jar. After doing this, Qiao Yi put the wine jar and walked out of the door.

Several people in the hall were still discussing the things they bought, Qiao Li saw Qiao Yi coming over, and hurriedly picked up a piece of peach-colored fabric and gestured on Qiao Yi's body: "Third sister, you must look good in this peach." ”

The peach color did make Qiao Yan's face white and pink, but Qiao Yan shook his head: "It's still for you, eldest sister." I already have one, I think you will look better in peach, you are skillful, you can do your favorite style. "In fact, it is rare to buy such bright colors on weekdays, because such peach, water red, and pink are much more expensive than the blue, blue and purple of plain days.

Qiao Liu on the side heard this, and didn't know what to think of, so he hurriedly continued: "That's it, eldest sister, your clothes are either cyan or blue, can you change the color!" I also think you look good in this color. Seeing what Qiao Li was going to say more, Qiao Liu hurriedly asked Zhang: "Mother, did you say yes?" ”

Zhang just looked at Qiao Li when he heard this, and couldn't help but think that Qiao Li's age should have been discussed a long time ago, but a lot of things have happened and have been dragged to the present, but in the future, I have to hurry up and think about my daughter, Zhang's big hand waved and stuffed the fabric into Qiao Li's arms: "Your two younger sisters have clothes of this color, you can make one for yourself!" ”

Seeing what Zhang said, Qiao Li had no choice but to respond in a low voice, Qiao Yi looked at a few pieces of cloth, and took out a piece of cyan and a piece of purple from the middle: "Then make me a purple top and a blue skirt!" Then the rest of the cloth can be made for you. ”

Qiao Li took the cloth in Qiao Yan's hand and said with a smile: "That's fine, you wait to choose a style, I'll make it for you!" Qiao Yi nodded, and hurriedly went to the side to pick out shoes for Xiao Si.

Zhang picked up the shoe sample and touched it carefully, Qiao Yi asked a little strangely on the side: "How can there be two kinds of children's shoe patterns?" It's just a slight difference in size. After speaking, he suddenly remembered: "Is the other one for Xiao Yi?" ”

Zhang smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's for Xiao Yi, the Lin family doesn't lack anything." Xiao Yi, this kid is smart, well-behaved and likable, I'll make him clothes and a pair of shoes, what do you think? ”

Qiao Yi took the shoe sample and gestured in his hand and smiled: "It's good, Xiao Yi is very likable, we all like him very much." ”

Qiao Liu also rushed over, snatched the things in Qiao Yi's hand, and fiddled with them in his hand: "That is to say, I like Xiao Yi, but why didn't he come to play with us today, didn't he come every day before?" ”

Qiao Li behind him smiled and quipped: "It's not because of you, the last time I saw him and Xiao Si playing marbles, you had to play with him, and you won all Xiao Yi's marbles, you didn't see Xiao Yi's mouth pouting when he left that day, and you could hang things on it." ”

After listening to Qiao Li's words, everyone laughed, Qiao Yi couldn't help but smile and said: "No, Xiao Yicai is not so stingy, last time Qiao Liu took her to dig out the bird's nest and carried him to the tree to let him climb up, but he climbed too high to come down, and he couldn't get down from the tree for a long time alone, or our father came back and got him down, he was not angry." ”

Now everyone laughed even happier, Zhang got up and took out a spinning top and handed it to Qiao Yi: "I saw it bought on the street, I heard that many children play this now, so I bought one for Xiaosi and Xiaoyi, you can send it to him later, and see why he didn't come to our house to play today, is it uncomfortable, usually he should have come here at this time." ”

Qiao Yi took the top and nodded: "Well, I know, I'll go back and take a look later, he chatters every day, if he doesn't come this day, I'm really not used to it!" ”
