In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the person Li Qingyou was looking for still hadn't appeared these days, so no matter how anxious she was, she couldn't do anything.

She also thought of other methods, but she felt that the effect was not very good, and she could only wait for the current plan.

"Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, let's also open meat, and my sister will cook you something delicious in the evening." Li Qing got up early in the morning and announced that he was in a good mood, and when he saw his brother dancing happily, he couldn't help but laugh, he was a child in the end.

"Thank you, sister." Brother is so happy, he's been eating sticky bean buns these days, and he's about to vomit.

The water in the water tank bottomed out, Li Qingyou picked up the bucket and went out, "Okay, you wait at home and go elsewhere, and my sister will go fetch water." ”

In this era, the industry was backward, and it seemed simple to dig wells, but it was necessary to survey the groundwater level, so unless it was a large family, ordinary people could not afford to dig wells.

There is a large well at the mouth of Mao'er Hutong, where people in the neighborhood draw water.

Because Li Qingyou has recently become "popular", in order to avoid being watched, he deliberately got up early in the morning to fetch water.

In the early morning, the sky was just bright, and there was a white mist between breaths, and Li Qingyou came to the well with a heavy wooden barrel.

On the edge of the wide well is a wheel, on which a thick hemp rope hangs down, and the bucket is to be tied to the wheel, and then the bucket is shaken down the wheel, and when it is full of water, it is then shaken up.

The weight of the wooden bucket is not light, plus a bucket full of water, it will cost dozens of catties to say the least, Li Qingyou has thin arms and legs, and the edge of the well is full of thick ice, looking like it will be planted into the well at any time.

Not far away, Zhang Tieniu didn't sleep well for several nights in a row, and his mother kept muttering in his ear for him to go on a blind date in the past few days, which made it even more annoying, and he couldn't talk back to his mother, so he could only hide out.

Unexpectedly, I saw Li Qingyou.

The hesitations in my heart in the past few days all disappeared the moment I saw her, and my body gave instructions before my brain, and strode behind Li Qingyou.

"Sister Qingyou, let me help you."

Li Qingyou, who was frightened by the sudden sound, almost fell into the well, but fortunately Zhang Tieniu grabbed her, and at the same time took the wooden bucket in her hand and skillfully tied it to the rope.

Li Qingyou was relieved when he saw that it was Zhang Tieniu, since he was in the court that day, this was the first time he had seen him in the past few days when he came back, and he was very happy.

"Brother Tie Niu, thanks to your help last time, I have been thinking about thanking you in person, but I haven't found time these days." Li Qingyou's words were very subtle, she was sure that he was at home when she went to Zhang's house to find him that day, and she must have known that she had been there.

Zhang Tieniu hummed, "It's okay, it's nothing." ”

He never dared to look at her when he spoke.

Although Li Qingyou felt that something seemed wrong with him, he didn't think much about it, and chatted with him enthusiastically.

Zhang Tieniu didn't say a word, and later Li Qingyou also felt his coldness, and couldn't help but stop talking.

Zhang Tieniu had a lot of strength, and quickly fetched a bucket of water, without Li Qingyou to speak, he went directly to her house with the bucket, poured it into the water tank and continued to draw water, and it was not long before the water tank was filled.

"Brother Tie Niu, wipe your sweat." Li Qingyou handed over the handkerchief, turned around and poured him another bowl of tea, "Drink some water and rest." ”

If he had picked it up in the past, he would have sat down to drink some water and talk, but not today, he just said that he would go home first and stride out.

Until this time, Li Qingyou also deeply felt that something was wrong with him, but he didn't say anything like a gourd, so he could only send him out silently.

walked all the way to the gate, Li Qingyou didn't send him out again, and closed the door when he went out.

At this time, Zhang Tieniu stopped, turned his back to Li Qingyou and was silent for a while, until she asked what was wrong, and then Ai Ai asked, "Why isn't that person there?" ”

He had a stomach full of words to ask, he had heard everything that happened in Li Qingyou's house in the past few days, and knew that she had a cousin who stood up for her when the Li family was making trouble for her, and she also said that it was her fiancé in front of so many people.

He couldn't tell what he was feeling, as if he was dying.

Originally, she was his daughter-in-law who did not pass through the door.

But he also knew that everything had to be talked about first, first come, and since she had a good home, he also wanted her to live a better life, but when the Li family came again that day, and when she was in court, why didn't her cousin appear?

I can't even protect my own woman, and I'm not a man.

Li Qingyou looked at him with his head covered, and it wasn't until he heard him say that his cousin realized that he was talking about a man in a brocade robe, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and he wanted to explain and was worried about involving his brother, so he could only say that the man in the brocade robe was passing by.

"I couldn't help it at that time, the Li brothers didn't give up, and I couldn't beat them, but fortunately, that person was very talkative, so he helped me." Li Qingyou's words were insincere, but Zhang Tieniu's originally gloomy eyes suddenly brightened.

"Really?" Happiness came so suddenly, he couldn't believe it.

There is no cousin, let alone a fiancé, she is still his.

"Of course, how could I lie to you about such a thing?" Li Qingyou nodded, "But I only told you about this, don't tell anyone else, not even your aunt." ”

She's afraid of getting into trouble.

Whether it is for the Li family or those who beat her with bad ideas, the brocade-robed man is a deterrent, otherwise even if the government sentences her to live here alone, I am afraid that someone with a heart will come to find trouble.

Zhang Tieniu patronized and was happy, he would agree no matter what Li Qingyou said, scratching his head and smiling, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Thinking of the uncomfortable food and sleep in the past few days, Zhang Tieniu felt aggrieved in his heart.

Li Qingyou sneered, "You didn't ask me either." ”

Besides, she can't even see his face, how can she tell him?

"Yes, it's all my fault." Zhang Tieniu laughed even more stupidly.

The misunderstanding was explained, and he didn't want to leave, even if he said a few words to her, or didn't talk, it would be good to look at her a few more times.

"What's that, Qingyou girl, I'm thirsty." Zhang Tieniu's face was full of embarrassment, regretting that he shouldn't have come out so early, and he had asked her how good she should have been when he fetched water just now.

Li Qingyou will also understand that he is silent because of a misunderstanding, and she is very happy to say it, no matter how Tie Niu Niang is, Zhang Tieniu is really good to her.

The two went back to the house again, Li Qingyou handed him the bowl of tea that he had poured for him before, and watched him gurgling and drinking, only then did he remember that Ah Di was still in the house.

Ah Di, this will also be full of fire, no, it is full of water.

He wanted to go to the hut.

But the guys outside didn't leave, so he could only endure it, and he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Sister Qingyou, you are afraid, in the future, the Li family will dare to come to you for trouble, and I will give you a head." Zhang Tieniu patted his chest and promised......
