The days of singles are like that, and they are always just leaving, without any tie-ups.

The next day, Erxi took the bus with Zhao Loach and decisively went to Yaojiazhai. In the afternoon, from a distance, Yaojiazhai is somewhat similar to his hometown, which is a low and bleak small village in the north.

After three turns and two turns, he was led to his home by the loach.

This winter is colder than the construction site, and Erxi is frozen and red. Entering the house, the fire was rising, and Zhao Loach's parents came down from the kang and warmly received Erxi.

"Dream Yao, Dream Yao ......"

Who are you shouting?

Erxi suddenly understood, oh, isn't that cousin, it should be called Mengyao, right? Hey, what a nice name.

Pick up the curtain and come in a tall girl. She stood in front of everyone with a smile on her face and raised her eyes to take a look. Well? Could that strange man be her future husband?

I couldn't help but shudder in my heart.

Look at his wrinkled face, unshaven beard, tattered clothes, big black teeth, not to mention tall, it's just ...... Mengyao's dizziness and enthusiasm were originally full of enthusiasm, but he was deflated at once, and he was silent in the room.

Turning his head to look at the window, he complained infinitely about his cousin who had no vision. This is far from the male god picture that he has in mind, he is ugly, he is still old, and he is almost a father...... Her proud heart suddenly froze in anger.

But Erxi didn't notice the girl's demeanor at all, he sat on the bench next to the wallboard, looked up, and instantly petrified.

The girl in front of her, with a long ponytail, a high nose bridge, a small and delicate nose as warm as jade, and a red lip flap, like a grass jasmine petal pasted on, are moist and gorgeous, more beautiful than the beauties in ancient paintings.

Ah, how can there be such a beauty in the world?

Even though he thinks that he has traveled north and south with his eldest brother, he has never seen such a handsome person. Erxi wanted to bounce up and stand up to say hello, but at this moment, his legs trembled like chaff, he was so angry, he hated himself for being embarrassed at this juncture.

"Hurry up and pour you a cup of hot water for Brother Xizi!" The loach girl saw Mengyao's displeasure, and was afraid of the cold scene, so she mentioned it. The loach father smoked a dry cigarette, and suddenly the kang was filled with smoke.

Erxi's big and small eyes looked at Mengyao's face. Before I saw enough, I saw her cold face and handed over a cup of hot water, which was so close.

Erxi suddenly made another major discovery.

On one side of her goose egg face, where her ears meet her cheeks, there is a dark pink bulge, shaped like a peach blossom.

Yes! Peach Blossom Girl?

It's amazing...... He stared closely, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, the peach blossom girl would dissipate into the air and disappear without a trace! Ah, that birthmark, it's so mysterious!

But when I saw him in the distance, his eyes were like an electric shock, and the teacup slammed into the wallboard, dodging and dodging, and goosebumps fell to the ground. Because when he opened his mouth, he sprayed a strong smell of cigarette bag oil stains in his breath. She hurriedly retreated, and retreated to sit on the eaves of the kang, even next to her uncle-in-law who was smoking.

It was another day without electricity, and as he spoke, a kerosene lamp lit up in the house, "I have a stove in the Westhouse today, why don't you talk to my cousin alone?" ”

In order to match good things, Loach boldly suggested.

Erxi nodded in gratitude, and Peach Blossom Mei glanced at her cousin angrily and blamed him for talking too much, and pouted angrily.

The curtain was raised, and the loaches waited for them to come.

Mengyao's face was not happy, and he had already walked out of the East House. When the loach holding the curtain saw her cousin coming first, she leaned into her ear and quickly whispered something. My cousin was stunned for a moment, and her expression seemed to be relieved.

Erxi also hurriedly chased over, the dilapidated flower door curtain was raised, and before he could put it down, he saw that Mengyao was already sitting firmly on the wooden chair by the window. The shadow of the lamp shook red, shrouding her silhouette, and if it was bright and dark, it was lighter than a kerosene lamp, oh no, than a 100-watt electric lamp.

Oh, Erxi's big hand covered his hot cheeks, and he instantly felt that this action was very inconsistent with the image of his forties. So I hurriedly put it down, and looked left and right, which was extremely unnatural. In the end, there was nowhere to put it, so I simply grabbed the sides of the fat cotton pants, thinking that in this way, my heart would be calm and dependent, and my heart would be steady, and I would be able to deal with it easily.

"Come on, sit here." I didn't know what the loach whispered, and Mengyao, who instantly changed a trace of attitude, greeted him generously. Looking up at his stupid look, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

I thought to myself, my cousin wasn't kidding.

No matter how you look at him, he looks silly, just like he has never seen a girl in his life. My cousin just said that his brother was a contractor, but he didn't look like it. So she was awkward and suspicious, and in order to alleviate that trace of embarrassment, she stroked a strand of hair on her forehead and tucked it until her ear was fixed.

Erxi listened to the loach's greeting, moved his figure-eight feet, slowly approached Mengyao, and sat down on a broken stool more than a meter away.

Too close to dare, too far too unwilling.

Because of the long time that Meng Yao has been out, the sideburns gradually have scattered broken hair, and it happens that there is a little peach blossom covering the sideburns...... Flowers suddenly loomed. At this time, the lights were brilliant, and the clear water of the two glasses on the table was moved by the light, and occasionally illuminated, falling a small faint rainbow. Mengyao's fingers were as condensed as jade, rubbing carefully along the implied lines of the cup, and she silently did not speak, nor did she look at Erxi.

At this moment, the flames suddenly jumped, and a small puff of black smoke came up.

Meng Yao picked up a pair of scissors, stood up, leaned over, and a silhouette instantly appeared on the wall.

Unhurriedly, she trimmed the lamp, and the lamp jumped suddenly, and the room went dark. After a while, it was bright again, Meng Yao raised the scissors, and with a gentle sip, blew out the lights attached to the knife surface, and suddenly a wisp of light smoke drifted away.

Erxi looked at her serious work, occasionally looked at the jumping wick, and tried to look out the window, wanting to glance at the moon and stars, so as to remind herself to find something to say. But helplessly, the window was not strong, and there was a thick and yellow layer of newspaper on it, and he couldn't see anything. The lights were removed, and the room was naturally a little brighter, but the air seemed to solidify again.

"Brother Loach, I'm going home."

Seeing that he was still stupid and couldn't communicate at all, Meng Yao decisively put down the scissors and shouted at his cousin outside. As soon as he heard that he wanted to go back, and he stood up, Erxi's face suddenly shattered and he smirked.

It looks like it's going to be played for real.

He hurriedly put his big hand into his arms and took out a wad of money, although it was a little shabby, strangled with a rubber band, at least more than a hundred, "I came in too much of a hurry, I didn't bring a gift." This, you put it away. ”

couldn't help but say, she pulled the green onion and white jade hand hard, and hurriedly put the money in her white and tender palm. Meng Yao was suddenly startled and wanted to push it over, but his big hand folded the soft green onion white, with a posture that could not be reversed.

At this time, Mengyao's heart was boiling, her cheeks were pink, and her soft palms were oozing with countless fine sweats. Smelling the peculiar ozone smell of banknotes, her dark eyes hurriedly turned her head to look at the door, and quickly withdrew her hand, clenching her fists in silence.

At this moment, in the bottom of her heart, she seemed to have a little debt, and she was indescribably uncomfortable.

Oh, he finally touched her hand. Ah, it's worth dying in this life...... The second likes to be like a hot day in the wheat field, and suddenly drank a few sips of cold soda, and the tip of his tongue exploded and boiled and cool. He clenched his palms desperately, trying to keep the warmth and softness that he had just had.

In the outhouse, everyone wears their coats.

Mengyao wears a long cold-proof suit, the kind that hangs a hat, and there is a belt in the middle, but it is not buttoned, but loosely and naturally hangs down to both sides of the placket, and the belt buckle is a heart-shaped style with diamonds.

Mengyao couldn't see any expression on his face, but the black ponytail in the hurry was pressed into the collar, Erxi hurriedly came over to help pull it out, and with the movement too fast, there was also a sound of pulling the collar.

Mengyao, who was bowing his head and tinkering with the zipper, was naturally warmed up by this action.

In the courtyard, surrounded by stars...... Zhao Loach held a flashlight more than a foot long, and the three of them walked out of the courtyard side by side and went straight to the east of the village.

It arrived in half an hour.

The cold wind froze Meng Yao's cheeks crimson, and he kept his head down all the way and was silent. She quickly opened the corner door, turned around and waved her hand, and disappeared with a "squeak", followed by a "squeak" to push the latch.

Breaking into the courtyard, she ran away in a panic, and accidentally kicked off the burning stick when she entered the outhouse.

The mother had not yet rested, and sat on the eaves of the kang and twisted herself, just after feeding the medicine to her father, who had been lying in bed for a long time. Seeing that Meng Yao entered the house in a panic with such a big movement, still holding his chest, the kerosene lamps swayed with the wind a few times, and the room flickered brightly and darkly, so he was displeased, "It's so big, not to mention that the behavior is more steady." ”

After a moment's silence, he asked, "Well, how's that?" ”

When Meng Yao heard this, his eyes turned red, and he began to complain, "Mom, he is old and has a scruffy beard." I strongly disagree! Whoever you love to marry, I won't go anyway. ”

After speaking, he shook his head and frowned, and looked at the star painting hanging on the wall. She glanced at the handsome actor with a natural and dignified demeanor, and then compared the two happiness, and suddenly felt sick to her stomach. She withdrew her eyes and continued to mumble, "It's too far from my liking." ”

Mengyao's mother listened to her words, sighed, and looked at her long-sick husband, filled with endless sorrow and loss...... With mist flashing under her eyes, she put down the water bowl, and couldn't come back to her senses after being silent for a long time. Finally, she lifted her sleeves, dipped her eyes, and remained silent.

Kind-hearted and filial and sensible, Mengyao has been like this since he was a child. So she couldn't see her mother sad at all, so she was silent. Later, in order to make him happy, he smiled and diverted the conversation, "However, he seems to be doing things happily, and he gave a little money, and he was in a hurry when he came, and he didn't buy a meeting gift, don't be picky." ”

When the mother heard this, she was so shocked that she suddenly stood up from the eaves of the kang, and the bowl she left down almost touched it.

The daughter stuffed a roll of money.

A stream of ink fragrance swept away, and the mother nodded again, finally having a bottom in her heart, at least judging that the man had great sincerity. At present, it's just that his daughter is not honest and high-spirited.

Seeing that her mother was stunned again, Meng Yao began to wash up simply, and it only took a few minutes. Lying on the kang and loosening the ponytail, the hair immediately spreads like a thick one, hanging down on the cheeks and neck, elegant as jade. The small fire of the kerosene lamp was blown out, and by the light of the moon, it tossed and turned without sleep.

"Why can't you sleep?" Mother asked in a low voice.

"Well, he, I'm afraid. I don't marry anyone except the ones posted on the wall. ”

"Hey, silly boy, I think he's honest and good. The important thing for men is to be able to do things, let's live a family like this, don't be greedy for any frivolous goods, it's unreliable. ”

After her mother spoke bitterly, her eyes glanced at the actor on the wall, but by the moonlight, she didn't see anything.

Meng Yao listened to the silence, and then fiddled with his hair again, picked it up and spread it on the pillow.
