Laundry by the lake
Qiao Li is now pregnant. When you go home, you naturally have to stay for a while. Zhang and Qiao Cheng are often worried about her. I'm afraid that there is something that is not well taken care of. It's good to say that you have to leave her and Xiao Chi for a month or two. Xiao Chi and the messengers in the yamen can't be delayed. I don't worry about leaving Qiao Li alone. So I had to go out early and return late every day. It's good to be with her every day.
Since that day of separation. Shen Mo and Qiao Yi haven't seen each other for more than ten days. It's not that we can't meet. It's really a little bit of gossip in this bleak village. So no matter how much I miss it. Only bury the lovesickness deep in the heart.
Lin Shi worked hard for Shen Mo for four years. The hardships can be imagined. Now Shen Mo has returned. Then these head-hurting ledgers and uneasy industries were naturally returned to him. I also went back to the old days of drinking tea, listening to the wind and laughing, watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court.
Shen Mo also knows the character of his friend. Now he has neatly accepted his own unidle industry. Fortunately, I used to do it before. Now I don't feel uncomfortable at all when I suddenly get started. It's Lin Shi. All of a sudden, the days of freedom were restored. On the contrary, there is some loneliness. Shaking a fan and basking in the sun and drinking tea in the open window.
While taking his eyes, he gently glanced at the desk and sat upright. Shen Mo, who couldn't take his eyes off and looked solemn. He just looked at the mountains of ledgers in front of him. It's all integrated into the work. I can't understand the indifference of my friends at all. I just can't stop watching the profitability of the industry represented by this ledger.
Lin Shi glanced at his dark little case. Lazily leaned back in his chair. The birdsong outside the window is so clear. Sunshine is so warm. The leaves rustle in the wind. Lotus flowers bloom on the lotus pond in the courtyard. Golden-red koi fish roaming freely under lotus leaves. The world is so beautiful. If you just crouch in front of the case and take care of the money that you can't touch for a while, wouldn't you be disappointed?
The sky is blue. Cloudless. Even the wind is gentle, gentle, gentle. Carefully brushed up a few smears of hair from Qiao Yan's ears. Dancing with it. Suddenly. A white, delicate, slender hand with trimmed nails reached out. Slowly swept up the naughty strands of hair and pulled back behind the round and small ears. The hand was lowered again. Hung back to his side.
Qiao Yi walked to the back of the house with a wooden basin. Bypassed the cucumber stand full of small yellow flowers. Turned into a dense wood. Then I walked on a path full of weeping willows on both sides. And they came to the lake that was as clean as jasper and lay quietly in the woods. Cautiously took a few steps. Stood firm under a leafy willow tree. Then he put down the wooden basin full of dirty clothes in his hand.
I rolled up my sleeves and squatted down and started doing the laundry. It's still very refreshing to soak your hands in the cool water. Slender hands fiddling and rubbing the clothes floating in the water. Occasionally, when I raised my head, I saw the sparkling lake reflecting the blue sky and white clouds. Tree-shady. And his own face that can't be seen clearly with the water waves.
I've been here for a few years though. For everything has been accustomed to business as usual. But no matter in spring, summer, autumn and winter, I have to go to the lake to wash clothes, but Qiao Yi has never liked it. Just like now. The water temperature of the lake is moderate. The flowers and birds around are so happy. But when winter comes. The waters of the lake will be so cold that they will freeze. Reaching into the water with both hands, I felt as cold as if thousands of needles had been pricked together. The pain immediately retracted his hand. The garment was so cold that it froze.
I carefully touched the soap corner and rubbed it on my clothes. The strands of hair that were scattered behind him jumped up and down with the movement. Then it hung aside. Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from behind him." Look at my poor sister. Why do you do laundry here alone? Although it is too warm today. However, the hands are often soaked in water, and the soap is stained, but it will become rough. That's not going to look good."
You don't have to look back to find out. It must have been a long time since I saw Qiao Jin. It's rare. It's been a long time since the two families have been in contact. Now for some reason they're here. Continue to rub the clothes in your hands. Qiao Yi replied without raising his head: "What if it looks good or not. It's just hands. But Sister Jin'er doesn't know why. On a hot day, I don't cling to a fan in the house to enjoy the cool. Came to this desolate lake to see what I was doing laundry. I'm not afraid that the wind will blow your face black. The sun has made your skin blemishe."
Qiao Jin narrowed his eyes. Glancing at the sun and my warmth. Some reluctantly moved a few steps into the shade of the tree. The person she hates the most in her life is Qiao Yan. Back then, I knew the news of Shen Mo's departure. It's still so real and sad for a long time. But what about her. She didn't care like that. You can smile like that. It's not like I'm not as soulless as I am.
But what about Shen Gongzi. He seems to be the pride of the heavens of the immortals. But it's so gentle and caring for her. There is not a trace of the shelf. He also personally selected her jewelry and clothes. But what? Shen Gongzi just left. But she was at ease. Not a single tear. I really want to tear off her mask of hypocrisy. Let's see if the real one will cry because she lost such a good son.
I couldn't help but squeeze the silk scarf handkerchief in my hand. until the fingers are blue and white. Exhaled deeply, lowered her eyes and looked at her slender figure at the water's edge. I have nothing to be afraid of. It's you. It's all about time. You're still so sharp-toothed. Never give up on others. If you do that, you're going to suffer in the future."
"Then don't bother with it. Whether to suffer a loss or not is a matter for the future. All I know is happy now. That's it." Wash and wrung out the clothes and throw them into a wooden basin. I picked up another pink coat and washed it carefully in the water. But there was no expression on his face. Nowadays for Qiao Jin. She didn't even bother to make a look of disdain.
Qiao Jin also knew that Qiao Yan had always been unforgiving in his words. She reached out a hand and gently stroked the side of her face. Even if you don't shine on the blurry bronze mirror. She knows it too. This is a face that is carefully decorated with powder. Nature is coquettish. It's gorgeous. Why did I do this? Of course, it's to teach the daughter of the three parties to take a look.
Look at me, Qiao Jin will still not be worse than you. My appearance. Figure. and the husband's family in the future will be much better than yours. I'll just sit on your head forever and see you look up at me. And I. Just a dignified and bright smile. High. Give to you and have mercy on you. Where is your turn to speak to me like that?
Wring out the pink coat and put it in a wooden basin. Then Qiao Yi, who was putting on the next dress, was a little helpless. It's really uncomfortable to be stared at the back like this without saying a word. Standing by the water's edge himself. Who knows if she'll suddenly go crazy and push herself into the water in the next second. With that Qiao Jin's IQ. It's quite possible. There's only one way out there. Out in the boondocks. Who knows if she'll make it bad.
I still didn't hear any sound behind me. Speechlessly, he nodded. You're not here today just to talk to me about this. Just say something about it. It's all coming. I still don't want to say what to do."
Very unhappy to be guessed thoroughly Qiao Jin. A disgruntled frown. How do you know I'm here for you because there's something? Don't overdo it. It's a shame if you guess wrong."
Qiao Yan rolled his eyes at the clean and innocent lake. If nothing happens. Your family won't run to our house. The second aunt must have brought you here. And you're here because you want to find me. Why would you ask me where I am? I also looked for it all the way against the sun. I think it's because there's something."
Qiao Jin's eyes darkened. I couldn't help but bite my lower lip. And so it was. She was always right. They all say that the head is the Word. People only say that she is smart and clever. said that it can suppress the average girl. Even if it really is. So what? Sometimes. That's right. It will be the same as it is now. Pain in the butt.
Picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped his sweaty forehead. I can't help but be irritable in my heart. Sure enough, the sun was too hot. After a while, I was sweating. Don't spend a while on makeup, how good. Let's hurry up and finish talking.
Qiao Jin carefully wiped his sweat. His voice was a little eager, and he said, "Our family is naturally here for a reason. It's just that I'm a little hard to say why. But. I'm still going to say it to you. I'm sixteen now. You're fourteen too. You shouldn't think about it, but you have to think about saying kiss. My mother and father picked a good family affair for me. Although they are still looking at each other. But it should be him."
"Okay. That's really going to congratulate my cousin. I wish my cousin all the best of luck." Qiao Yan hooked his head and continued to wash his clothes without care. I didn't even lift my head. It was clear that he really didn't care about Qiao Jin's words.
How can it be. I've said it myself. She still didn't care in the slightest. Doesn't she want to know what kind of person she's looking for? Then. I want to compete with her for Shen Gongzi. Although in the end, no one can Shen Gongzi's blue eyes. He also eventually left. But they had a hostile relationship after all. She. I don't care why it's so much.
Why. If Qiao Yi knew the question in Qiao Jin's heart, he would definitely laugh non-stop. Don't care. Naturally, it's because I've never seen you as an opponent anymore. A man who is not even a rival in love. Who cares who exactly you're married to.
