Chapter 213: Burden
It's a pity that there is a son who is studying at home, and a lot of money he can get every year is all used for his son to study, and now there is no achievement, and I even dragged away the family property in vain.
Han Baichuan went to the exam this time, just to be able to prove himself like these villagers in the village, and by the way, to reduce some of the burden on his father, once he can be admitted to Xiucai, then at least he will not have to think about paying taxes in the future.
The jar that Song's sister-in-law brought over had a slight aroma, and for their scrutiny of the sister-in-law, she was generous, and directly opened the pure white fish soup and appeared in front of everyone, and even sprinkled a little green onion on it, which looked very exquisite.
There is still a little sesame oil floating on it, which is really good-looking, and it is enough to see that the person who made this dish is attentive, but Sister-in-law Song looked at Old Man Han with a little apology: "It's my fault this time, if it weren't for my insistence on letting you help me go up the mountain, I'm afraid you wouldn't have suffered this unwarranted disaster. ”
Everyone knows that there are many rights and wrongs in the village chief's family, and it is not a contradiction that arises in order to compete for the village chief, but because the villagers in the village have almost never let the village chief rest, and when it comes to farming, he can't finish the work in his farmland first, but he needs to help these villagers first, but whenever these people have any three long and two short, they need the village chief to come forward, and the village chief's family is almost completely supported by Song's sister-in-law and a woman.
Old man Han waved his hand when he heard this, his expression was a little helpless, and it naturally smelled this wafting fragrance, Sister-in-law Huang and Sister-in-law Fengxian glanced at each other, and there was a bit of reluctance in each other's sights, it was a great opportunity, but now it was about to slip out directly between their fingers.
"It's nothing, but it's just to help you find herbs, I didn't find it this time, and next time, I will definitely do my best." Slowly moving his legs and feet, Old Man Han pretended to be Jiang Dan and breezy appearance, and his eyes also looked at Jiang Cheng'er with a little smile.
Feeling that Old Man Han's words meant something, it seemed that he was talking about himself, Jiang Cheng'er hesitated, remembering that since he entered the mountain, although it was not calm, but there was no disaster, this can only be attributed to his good luck, but if this luck is a little worse, I am afraid that now he is a pile of white bones.
Old Man Han has been in the mountains for most of his life, and now he has not checked and injured his leg for a while, and she is just a little yellow-haired girl with little experience, so can she guarantee that she will get out of the country every time?
"If there's nothing to do, you can leave first, I still have something I want to talk to them about." Sister-in-law Song pretended to look at the people in front of her majestically, they were all standing here, and some things made it difficult for her to say.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Cheng'er got up and planned to walk out, but was stopped by Song's sister-in-law: "Jiang Cheng'er's girl left these words also have a certain relationship with you, if you leave, I have no one to say." ”
Jiang Cheng'er, who was planning to leave today, paused slightly, and chose to stay here, with a little puzzle in her eyes.
Sitting here quietly waiting for what Sister-in-law Song was going to say, and after a long time of not seeing Sister-in-law Song speak, Jiang Cheng'er cautiously tested: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, if there is nothing urgent, I have to rush home." ”
Sister-in-law Song is a woman, but she doesn't like to eavesdrop on other people's tongues like others on weekdays, but when he came over today, he accidentally heard it, Jiang Cheng'er and Han Baichuan were engaged when they were young, and now it seems that the relationship is getting better and better.
"What do you think of Baichuan's baby?" After Sister-in-law Song heard Jiang Cheng'er's question, she simply stopped hesitating and asked generously, this cold question made Jiang Cheng'er's face immediately dyed a little blush.
Han Baichuan is naturally an excellent one, but now that he has a younger brother, no matter how he looks at it, he is not compatible with Han Baichuan, at least he has to wait until he is clean, and then he will mention the matter of marriage in the future.
"Brother Han is naturally very good." With the smiling eyes of Old Man Han, Jiang Cheng'er said this head-on, now in front of his father, even if he is a little bad in his heart, he can't say it, not to mention that Jiang Cheng'er has always thought that Han Baichuan is particularly good.
Hearing this question, what is going to happen to Sister-in-law Song later, Old Man Han already has a little understanding in his heart, but he still keeps his face and doesn't open his mouth to poke it.
Hearing Jiang Cheng'er's affirmation, Sister-in-law Song was very happy, as if she was her own son, and she was taken by other girls: "Since you think he is good, do you plan to live a good life with him?" ”
asked very bluntly, and sent his sister-in-law's words without the slightest disguise, this sudden question made Jiang Cheng'er stunned, even Old Man Han was a little surprised, I thought that Song's sister-in-law would ask more tactfully, if it was so direct, don't say it is Jiang Cheng'er, I am afraid that his old face will feel a little red.
"I'm still young now, and I'm not in a hurry about this matter, marriage, I always have to look at each other slowly." Spread her hands, Jiang Cheng'er said directly, even if she said that she was young, Jiang Cheng'er was not embarrassed, she was only a teenager now, and she was still a child, how could she be so anxious to take on the responsibility of getting married and having children?
Sister-in-law Song looked more anxious than Jiang Cheng'er and Old Man Han, and hurriedly opened her mouth to persuade: "Baichuan sent him to learn a little, and his reputation in the village is also quite good, not to mention that his age is not too young, he is still an innocent old man, if you don't grasp it well, when he returns from the examination, I'm afraid that you won't have any chance." ”
Turning his head to look at the old man Han who was lying there, Sister-in-law Song also said with a serious face: "Now in our village, I see that only Jiang Cheng'er's girl knows my mind best, so I took the liberty to mention this matter, I won't have a gap with you because of this matter, right?" ”
Jiang Cheng'er and Han Baichuan, no matter how you look at it, are a natural pair, after all, Jiang Cheng'er is well-behaved and sensible, but the only bad thing is that no matter what he wants to do, he still has to take a younger brother, which is a bit bad.
If Jiang Cheng'er wants to get married, Li Qinglin is definitely her only support, but now in this situation of their family, I am afraid that this piece is even more of a burden.
Old Man Han coughed dryly, looked at Jiang Cheng'er with a smile, and seemed to be very satisfied: "I see that this Jiang Cheng'er girl is very good, and she is also sensible, I knew before that she has always stayed by my side, served and taken care of her, and sent a lot of things back and forth, but we have nothing to meddle in the marriage of these children, half of the body has been put into the ground, and it is not worth it to go to these children to make enemies and grudges."
The two of them had already mentioned the engagement before, and when they came back, Han Baichuan must have the identity of a showman, so he had to prepare for the next exam, even if Jiang Cheng'er got married, he couldn't enjoy the blessings of a few years, so it was better to wait a little longer, Jiang Cheng'er was not very old.
The abacus in Old Man Han's heart crackled, but Jiang Cheng'er didn't know what they thought, so she just smiled awkwardly and shook her head: "Let's wait until later, I suddenly remembered that there were some urgent matters at home, so I left first!" ”
Hurriedly turned around and left here, Jiang Cheng'er patted her cheek, even in this gradually cold weather, she could still feel that her cheeks were hot, and now that she was directly mentioned about marriage, it didn't seem impossible to be a person like Han Baichuan......
After going back, he was obsessed with thinking about this matter, Li Qinglin didn't know how many times he shook back and forth beside Jiang Cheng'er, and he didn't see Jiang Cheng'er give him a corner of his eye: "Sister, are you also missing Brother Han as much as I do?" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Cheng'er nodded subconsciously, reacted coldly, and immediately raised her eyes to look at Li Qinglin, blinking her eyes full of confusion, but Li Qinglin just waved her hand and sat next to Jiang Cheng'er: "After all, we have lived together for so long, sister, your little thought can't stop me, if you like it, go ahead." ”
The two have been dependent on each other since childhood, and they are the people who can trust each other the most, so Li Qinglin can understand what Jiang Cheng'er is thinking now, Han Baichuan is indeed a very good person, and Han Baichuan is also very good to himself, and he never cares that Jiang Cheng'er will have a younger brother.
Raising his hand and knocking on Li Qinglin's skull, Jiang Cheng'er glared at him: "What are you thinking about again?" I'm thinking about what we should eat at noon today, and Old Man Han is sick, so it's impossible to cook alone anyway, so we'll have to send him a little more later. ”
When Han Baichuan left, he had deliberately said goodbye, although Han Baichuan himself did not speak, but Jiang Cheng'er silently regarded Old Man Han as her own responsibility in her heart, and now she knew that Old Man Han had fallen from the cliff and was already blaming herself, and now she just wanted to make some contributions and give the old man a little help.
Li Qinglin nodded, rubbed his head, and then immediately went to pick up the dishes to be eaten at noon, taking care of the old man's body, Jiang Cheng'er also deliberately picked a little light taste.
