040, two lonely shadows
"Tong'er will trouble the eldest brother and sister-in-law." The third old man arched his hand towards the Yang couple, and the corner of his eyes unconsciously glanced at the girl who was unable to give up, and sighed slightly.
This time, he didn't actually want to send his daughter to Yue's house, but the people in the second room didn't give up, and the Wang family even took Su Rong to cry in front of the old lady, and even spoke badly in private.
Su Tong himself was in a bad mood, he didn't want his daughter to hear those words, and he didn't want the old lady to punish Su Tong because she couldn't resist the Wang family, he originally wanted the Yang family to come over and live with him for a few days, but the Yang family was afraid that others would chew the root of their tongues, so they insisted on refusing.
The third master didn't stay long, and left after briefly talking about Su Tong.
Huang Dou was most happy that Su Tong could come, but no matter what he said to Su Tong today, Su Tong still looked stupid, which made Huang Dou feel very uncomfortable, thinking that Su Tong didn't like him anymore.
Or his mother told him: "It's your sister Tong who is in a bad mood, and Huang Dou is the most sensible, so you can't worry about your sister, do you know?" You have to spend more time with your sister Tong, and when she is in a good mood, she will naturally play with you. β
Huang Dou was very happy to hear this, and continued to circle around Su Tong, and took out all the snacks he had collected to coax his sister.
With the efforts of soybeans, Su Tong finally reacted, she smiled and ate the candy given by soybeans, and praised soybeans a few words, everyone was relieved to see that she was no longer in a daze.
The Yang family originally had few girls, and Mrs. Yang only had two daughters among the six children under her knees, and when it came to her grandchildren, there were only two girls born to the Yang family, and the other sons and daughters were all boys.
The eldest Yang Dayou has three sons, and the couple dreams of having a delicate and soft little girl.
So Su Tong and Su Zhen are very favored in the Yang family, looking at the lost Su Tong, everyone in the Yang family is very sad, and when they see her laughing again, they are also happy, and they are happy to have dinner.
The second day was the Lantern Festival, and as usual, the four brothers of the Yang family had to spend it with their old mother, so the other three brothers had breakfast early in the morning and brought their wives and children to the eldest brother's house with some dried fruits and snacks, chicken, duck and fish.
The men gathered together to talk about the mountains, the women were busy in the kitchen, a bunch of boys gathered together to go to the house to uncover the tiles, and Su Tong and a girl accompanied Mrs. Yang to watch her brothers and brothers play and frolic.
Mrs. Yang said that she was very happy, she looked at Su Tong and thought: Chidou is eighteen years old, it's time to marry a wife.
Originally, Mrs. Yang didn't have this idea, but she was reluctant to let Su Tong go to someone else's house to suffer, Su Tong has always been well protected, naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world, she can take it seriously if others coax her, isn't this what happened this time?
It would be different if she married Chidou, she could see that the eldest daughter-in-law really liked Su Tong, although Chidou's kid was not very promising, he was loyal and upright, and he would never bully Su Tong.
The more Mrs. Yang thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense, and she pondered for a while to find an opportunity to discuss with her son and daughter-in-law.
Lunch was a little shabby on this day, and everyone was busy preparing for dinner.
In the afternoon, the women prepared the dishes for dinner and began to mix the stuffing and dumplings, including sweet sesame filling, peanut filling, and salty meat filling.
The boys quarreled and quarreled, one said that the sesame seeds were delicious, and the other said that the meat was delicious, and no one would accept anyone.
No one noticed that Su Tong sneaked out of the gate of Yang's house, until Zhang Luo started dinner, Huang Dou liked to sit with Su Tong, but he couldn't find anyone at this time, and no one saw Su Tong after asking around.
At this time, everyone in the Yang family was anxious, and hurriedly launched a search inside and outside the house, but no one in the family went outside again.
Su Tong didn't really want to go anywhere, she liked the Yang family, but when she saw the Yang family's affectionate appearance, she always felt an indescribable sense of loneliness in her heart.
She thought of the Yang family, her father and Su Zhen, and the Su Mansion was also as lively as the Yang family at this time in previous years.
She had a sour nose and didn't want to stay in the house, so she quietly left Yang's house.
Although Su Tong has been to Baishao Village many times, he has to leave every time he only rests for a day, and rarely has the opportunity to walk around the village.
All she remembered was that there was a fish pond across the woods, and the scenery was nice, which she had been there before.
Su Tong walked along the road in his memory, but after walking for a long time, the scenery in his memory did not appear, but he lost himself in a forest.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark little by little, Su Tong was anxious and scared, but she still couldn't find the slightest crowd. I don't know how long she walked, but the little girl was cold and hungry, and finally she couldn't walk, so she squatted down and hugged her knees and cried loudly.
The little figure shrunk into a ball, looking extremely pitiful.
"Stop crying, wipe your tears."
Su Tong raised his head, and his tearful eyes couldn't see the face of the person in front of him clearly.
She took the handkerchief handed by the man and wanted to thank her, but when she opened her mouth, she found that her voice was hoarse, and it was no longer as crisp as before, so she closed her lips tightly and refused to say more.
Su Tong wiped away his tears, and then he saw that the person who came turned out to be the teacher in the village, the "brother of the Lu family" in Huang Dou's mouth.
Su Tong didn't cry anymore, but she couldn't stop sobbing, she was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't control this "instinctive" behavior at all.
Lu Zhou didn't mind, and sat down not far from Su Tong with a puff of robe, and there was a distance of about two meters between the two. He just sat there, didn't speak, kept his head down, and didn't know what he was thinking.
Su Tong finally stopped her sobbing, she looked at the sky, it should be almost dinner time, uncle and they would be in a hurry if they found out that she was gone.
The person next to her seemed to sense her thoughts, stood up and said to her, "I'll send you back." β
Su Tong nodded and stood up, but as soon as she moved, she found that her feet were numb, and her body fell to the side unconsciously.
After Su Tong stood firm, Lu Zhou let go of his hand and said, "I had to do it just now, please forgive me." β
Su Tong shook his head and said, "Don't blame Mr., thank you Mr. for your help." Her voice regained slightly, and there was some composure and hoarseness in her clarity, and she was even more weak, which made people feel pity when they heard it.
The two waited for a while, waiting for Su Tong's legs to regain sensation before slowly walking out of the forest.
Lu Zhou opened the way in front, and Su Tong slowly followed behind him. The person in front of him was thin, but he was as tall as a bamboo, but in this day of family gathering, wandering alone in the silent forest inevitably added a little more to the feeling of loneliness.
Yue'er quietly hung on the branches, pulling the two lonely shadows into the elders.
