Chapter 6: Refusal to elope
Only then did Hua Jiao look at Su Xian carefully.
has good facial features, fair complexion, tall and thin, much like the long-legged Oba in Korean dramas.
Such a handsome guy fell from the sky coldly, and wanted to save her from fire and water, Hua Jiao was still a little moved in her heart, but she was not Hua Jiao, and she didn't have a good impression of Su Xian, so of course she wouldn't go with him.
She didn't want to stay in the Pei family.
But if she leaves, she will leave with dignity through her own efforts, instead of being detained as an elopement.
Living in hiding all day is unacceptable to her.
Su Xian is good-looking and looks suave, but she doesn't want to take this risk with him.
Seeing that Huajiao was silent, Su Xian said eagerly: "Huajiao, don't be afraid, I have arranged it, I have an old aunt in Tongcheng, she has no children and no daughters, and she has been writing to me to go with my mother, no one in the village knows that I still have such an old aunt, they will not find us." ”
"Brother Xian, I know you're good to me, but I don't want to go with you." Hua Jiao refused without thinking, "Don't hide it, Pei Ze has news, he said that he will come back for the New Year, and as soon as he comes back, Pei Man will definitely not dare to bully me anymore." ”
It seems that Su Xian's crush on Sichuan pepper is certain.
It's a pity that pepper will never know his affection.
"Huajiao, it is precisely because I heard that Third Brother Pei is coming back that I decided to take you away immediately." Su Xian squatted down with the bamboo basket and looked at her earnestly, "You have never seen Third Brother Pei, let alone what he is like, how do you know that he will be good to you?" What if he is not as good as Pei Man? ”
"Then what kind of person is Pei Ze?" Hua Jiao asked quietly, and continued to weave the straw mat in her hand, she had never seen Pei Ze, but one thing was for sure, Pei Ze had been wandering outside for so many years, and he was a person who had seen the world, no matter what he was, he would not be able to do the same thing as Pei Man's brute, let alone pull out his legs when he saw a woman.
After so many years, maybe Pei Ze has already married a wife and had children outside.
At that time, she will be able to leave the Pei family naturally.
"When Third Brother Pei left, I was only ten years old, and I can't remember what he looked like." Su Xian looked at Hua Jiao's side face with soft eyes, and said softly, "I only know that he is twenty-three years old this year, nine years older than you, and you can't get along with him......"
Speaking of this, Su Xian coughed lightly: "Didn't you say before that I would take you away?" Why did he change his mind as soon as he heard that Third Brother Pei was coming back? ”
The movement of the pepper's hand paused.
That, the original owner is really bold, and he dares to say such things...... Isn't that a problem for her!
After thinking about it, Hua Jiao put down the half-woven straw mat in his hand, and said solemnly: "Brother Xian, don't mention the previous things again, anyway, I won't go with you, when Pei Ze comes back, I will live a good life with him, you study hard, strive for the title of the gold list as soon as possible, don't miss the good future because of me, in the future, don't come to me again, let people see it badly." ”
Su Xian looks like a very stable young man, why is his head hot, and he doesn't even want a future?
She's not a peppercorn, so it's better to be clear what she should say.
Long pain is not as good as short pain, and dragging mud and water is the most troublesome.
When Su Xian saw her say this, he suddenly felt embarrassed, stood dumbfounded for a moment, and asked without giving up: "Huajiao, is this what you are talking about?" ”
Huajiao just wanted to say something, but saw that Pei Ying had already arrived in front of him with a bamboo basket on her back, and greeted Su Xian with a smile: "Brother Xian, you have been at home these days, I thought you hadn't taken annual leave yet!" ”
Su Xian studied at the Qilin Academy in the town and did not return to Tonghua Village often.
His mother, Aunt Su, rented a house in the town and relied on selling buns on the dock to support Su Xian's education.
Su Xian's father died early, it was Aunt Su who single-handedly pulled him up, Aunt Su was diligent and hearty, and the life of the mother and son was not difficult, sometimes the village people went to the town to buy oil and salt, and when they were not rich, Aunt Su would also give generously and lend them ten pennies.
Aunt Su's popularity in Tonghua Village is particularly good.
Every time I go back to the village when the spring farming is busy, there will be matchmakers who come to Su Xian to propose marriage, but they are all rejected by Aunt Su one by one, saying that Su Xian's family affairs are not in a hurry, and when he has obtained fame, everyone will know Aunt Su's thoughts.
One to ten, ten to hundred.
Su Xian is well-known in Shili Baxiang, and I heard that many little girls secretly like him...... Pei Ying is one of them.
"I've taken my annual leave." Seeing that it was Pei Ying, Su Xian became more and more embarrassed, his expression narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "You are busy, I should go back too." ”
"Brother Xian, why do you have to leave as soon as I come!" Pei Ying put down the bamboo basket on her back, twisted the corners of her clothes, and said delicately, "The last time I borrowed Aunt Su's shoes, I have finished painting, I don't know if Aunt Su has any new shoes, when I passed by your house just now, your house was locked, didn't Aunt Su come back with you?" ”
Hua Jiao glanced at Pei Ying.
Seeing that she was looking at Su Xian with a spring color, goosebumps fell to the ground, please, it's good that she's still there as a sister-in-law!
"My mother went to catch the sea early in the morning, and she may not have come back yet." Su Xian frowned and said, "You can go to her again later!" ”
"Okay, that's settled." Pei Ying's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Then I'll go to your house to find Aunt Su later." ”
Su Xian nodded, turned around and went down the mountain.
It wasn't until he couldn't see his figure that Pei Ying turned around, immediately changed her face, and said to Hua Jiao angrily: "What did you say to Brother Xian just now?" Do you know that it is very inappropriate for you lonely men and widows to stand together and talk, and if you let others see you, you will gossip. ”
"This mountain is not your family, and no one else is allowed to come?" Huajiao had already finished weaving the straw mat, glanced at Pei Ying incredulously, and said expressionlessly, "I can talk to whoever I like, you don't care." ”
Pei Ying was very angry, stomped her feet and said, "Anyway, you don't talk to Brother Xian in the future, you, you are my third brother's daughter-in-law, you can't talk to other men." ”
"It's good that you know that I am your third brother's daughter-in-law, and speak politely to me in the future, I am your third sister-in-law." Hua Jiao shook the woven straw mat, spread it on the big stone, found it and gently tapped it with the branches, and said disapprerovitously, "There is a way that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and I am also your elder, so you are not allowed to be so rude to me, otherwise, be careful that I beat you." ”
"You don't talk nonsense, you're not as old as me, you're still like a mother......" Pei Ying had never been so bumped by peppercorns, and blushed angrily, "You bought it from my family, you have to listen to me." ”
Sichuan pepper has always been docile, when did it become so fierce?
Was she scared crazy by her second brother?
Huajiao no longer paid attention to her, picked up the bamboo basket, hugged the grass mat and went down the mountain.
No one wants to bully her!
Don't accept the battle!
"Hey, wait for me, my basket isn't full yet!" Pei Ying shouted loudly behind her, "If you dare to throw me alone on the mountain, I'll go home and sue my mother." ”
The peppercorns walked forward without looking back.
I'm not afraid to sue your mother or your father!
On the way down the mountain, she found some wild onions and shepherd's cabbage in the grass on the side of the road, simply squatted down and picked them together, boiled vegetable porridge with wild onions and shepherd's cabbage, it was much better than using wild amaranth, in winter, there was no vegetable in the vegetable garden, the copper coin vegetables on the ground were growing lush, this kind of wild vegetables were blanched and cold, and then added a little chili oil, it was very delicious, and the peppercorns were also picked a lot, secretly glad that there were chili peppers here, otherwise, many dishes would be bleak without a soul.
Pei Chunshan and Pei Run had already reconciled the mud in the courtyard and prepared to make a kang and stove in the firewood room.
Huajiao poured the firewood at the root of the south wall, and went back to the house with the straw mat to spread it on the bed board, although the bed was much softer than before, but it could not keep out the cold, no, she had to let Pei Chunshan and Pei Run also give her a kang, judging from the vegetation in the back mountain, the spring here should come late, and if the weather is hot, it will have to wait for at least three or four months.
Mrs. Yuan was not at home, and the Wang family was nowhere to be found.
Liu's nest embroidered on the kang, and the two children lay on the window and watched the father and son busy with interest from the small roller blinds.
Sichuan pepper is very diligent to help Pei Run and mud, this method of pan kang she has seen when she was in the countryside, with straw and mud, and then make a rectangular mud cake with good mud, you can make kang after drying, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say simple.
Pei Run was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister, this is a man's job, you can rest!" ”
"Sichuan pepper, you don't need it here, your milk and your mother are not at home, you are ready to cook!" Pei Chunshan wiped his sweat, saw that the peppercorns dug up a lot of wild vegetables, and asked, "I have eaten these wild onions and camellia, but can I eat this copper coin dish?" ”
Copper coin dishes are not rare and can be found everywhere.
It's just that in winter they grow shorter and darker in color.
I used to dig it up and feed it to pigs and chickens, but I never thought that people could eat it.
"Yes, I'll make it for you to taste." Hua Jiao rolled up her sleeves and began to prepare to cook, so she rushed to Wang's skill in making that vegetable porridge, she was absolutely confident that she would kill her mother-in-law in seconds...... At least, it should be fine to change yourself to a kang with oil and copper money.
