- The world

Jia Yuanwai's greasy face was full of smiles, his folds were extremely out, he showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth, as if he could smell the stench in his mouth, and a pair of shrewd little eyes never let himself suffer.

He was the famous miser on that street.

The crowds on the streets are bustling, and the pedestrians are in a hurry, each busy with their own lives.

The uncle who sells sugar gourds shouts at the street, holding up a crystal clear and reddish hawthorn sugar gourd and shaking it at the adults leading the children.

"Selling sugar gourds ~ a string of three pennies ~"

"Dad, how's it selling?"

A girl of twenty-eight years ran out from behind the uncle in a pink skirt, with a green smile on her face.

She is a famous little beauty on this street, named Pothos, because she is good-looking, many people buy sugar gourds for her, and her family's business is booming for a while.

"It's selling very well today, but unfortunately there are still a few skewers left, let's take it and eat it"

After speaking, the uncle handed the pothos a sugar gourd that was not sold, and the sugar turned a little yellow after a long time, but the girl didn't mind at all, handed it to her mouth and took a bite of it, the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, and the pothos smiled with satisfaction.

"Uncle, give me a sugar gourd"

A simple boy scratched his head a little embarrassedly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Xu Sheng, why do you come to my house every day to buy sugar gourds?"

Green pothos opened her eyes wide, chewing a sugar gourd in her mouth, and asked the young man in front of her vaguely.

Since his family sold sugar gourds, Xu Sheng has been coming to the market day long, but he is different from those who come because of her beauty, those people who buy sugar gourds may not throw them anywhere, but he eats them one by one seriously and never wastes them, which makes the pothos have a different impression of him.

"Your sugar gourd is delicious!"

Xu Sheng avoided the bright eyes of the green pothos and only stared at the sugar gourd.

But how can his expression be hidden from Luthos's father, this kid is obviously interested in his daughter, and the uncle's impression of Xu Sheng is also very good, this kid is honest and honest, a well-known good person, and his daughter has also reached the age of Xu Qin.

The uncle looked at Xu Sheng with appreciative eyes and nodded.

Xu Sheng met the uncle's gaze, and also read the meaning in his eyes, and suddenly he was so happy that he didn't know what to do, he only held a sugar gourd, and took a bite to look at the pothos, his eyes were full of love.

The simple pothos didn't know that her father had discussed her life's affairs with others, and she couldn't help but feel strange when she simply looked at the two of them.

"Yo, isn't this the pothos girl?"

A male duck's voice came from behind Luluo, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the annoying Jia Yuanwai.

Pothos only thinks that he is like a pig, the pig can still eat, he has grown fat in vain and is still running around, and the stench like swill in his mouth makes Pothos cover his nose and take several steps back.

This is not the first time he has come to the door, the early Jia Yuanwai took a fancy to the beauty of the pothos, and sent people to harass and force the pothos to marry him every day, but how could the uncle tolerate his daughter marrying a pig? Categorically refused.

Who knew that he had only stopped for a few days, and then came back to look for trouble.

"What are you going to do, it's not welcome to you, go away"

Pothos pinched her nose and looked at him in disgust, said unceremoniously, and waved her hand to let him go.

But Jia Yuanwai just likes the momentum of pothos, to put it bluntly, he just likes to scold, hearing the words of pothos's temper, his little heart thumped, and his face was squinting, and it couldn't be more appropriate to describe him with thief eyebrows.

"I've got all your sugar gourds!"

Jia Yuanwai, who has always been stingy, also got up generously, waved his big hand, patted the round beer belly, and motioned for his subordinates to step forward and take the sugar gourd.

Seeing this, Luluo hurriedly stepped over to block in front of them, and said with a fierce face.

"Don't, I'm afraid you'll defile my sugar gourd."

"Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!"

Seeing that the pothos was so ignorant that he couldn't get off the stage, Jia Yuanwai revealed his original face, and he stared at the pothos fiercely, with a brutal expression.

"You dare to touch her?"

Xu Sheng finally couldn't help it, he protected the pothos behind him, his strong arms all fell in Jia Yuanwai's eyes, his eyes rolled, he knew that he was not an opponent, the future was long, and it was not too late to settle accounts in the future.

"You wait for me!"

He put down a symbolic cruel word and ran away, and the people saw that the master ran and hurriedly followed, and a group of people disappeared like chickens.

Xu Sheng's tall figure and the feat of protecting her made the young and innocent pothos inevitably feel a little moved, and she blushed for a while.

"Thank you."

The crisp voice of the pothos came from behind Xu Sheng, and she nervously kneaded the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head and stared at her toes.

"You're welcome"

Xu Sheng scratched his head honestly and grinned with a mouthful of white teeth.

Looking at the interaction between the two, the uncle nodded with satisfaction, and some of the old faces were full of satisfaction.

The people in the streets gradually dispersed, and the stalls were closed from house to house, and the bustling bazaar suddenly became deserted, except for a few red lanterns still hanging high, illuminating a corner of the street.

"Girl, close the stall and go home"

The uncle greeted the pothos and put a thin cloth on the straw sticks with two or three sugar gourds inserted.

"Hey, got it"

The pothos also helped his father clean up, and the figures of an old man and a young man gradually disappeared into the night.

Xu Sheng watched them go away, and then reluctantly went home.

His family lived in a village not far from the street, and although Xu Sheng's family was not wealthy, his father left him three thatched huts before he died, sheltering him from the wind and rain so that he would not starve to death.

Xu Sheng chopped firewood during the day and made baskets at night, and sold the baskets and firewood to get some money, and his life was quite passable.

Xu Sheng returned home, looked at the empty house, and fumbled to light a candle, the faint light of the candle flame made the room much brighter.

It was a small room, with an unidentified teapot on a shabby table and several bowls next to it.

Xu Sheng sat on the stool next to the table, Xu was in disrepair, and the stool creaked as he sat down, as if it could be broken at any time.

"Alas"

Xu Sheng sighed, took a bowl and put it in front of him, and lifted the teapot with his other hand to pour water into the bowl, but when he poured it upside down, he swam upside down, and the pleasant voice and sweet smile of the green pothos seemed to be right in front of him.

"Oops"

The water overflowed from the bowl and spilled Xu Sheng's body, and he hurriedly found a washed and somewhat whitish coat and changed it.

Compared with his embarrassment, Luluo's family situation is much better.

The mother died early, the pothos was raised by the father, and he made a lot of money in business in his early years, and bought a simple and unpretentious small yard, although it was not gorgeous, but it was also a green brick roof.

The room of the pothos was full of girlish atmosphere, with delicate tassels hanging by the bed, and a pile of unfinished embroidery piled up on the table.

Green pothos sat on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the ground, her mind was full of Xu Sheng's bravery when she protected her, and she couldn't help but laugh stupidly.

"Knock Knock"

"Girl, have you slept?"

A cry from Daddy Pothos pulled her back to reality, and she hurriedly got up to open the door.

"Dad, is there anything wrong with this late hour?"

Pothos opened the door, returned to the room and sat on a chair, asking curiously.

Daddy Pothos sat across from her and said to her in a serious voice.

"Daughter, you're not too young, it's time to get married"

Hearing the word marriage, Luluo's face turned red, and she said shyly: "Daddy, what do you say, my daughter is going to accompany you for a lifetime"

"How can this be done, my daughter has to marry when she is older, my father thinks that Xu Sheng is honest and righteous, what do you think?"

The father of the pothos suddenly poked the mood of the green pothos, and his heart was full of joy, so he agreed with the boat.

"Daddy Alone"

When Luthos Dad looked at her shyness, he knew that his daughter also liked Xu Sheng, and his daughter could get a successful marriage, and he was also relieved.
