CHAPTER XXI

Tucked away from the bustling main road, it's just a nondescript alley.

The loess road, the low wall, the jujube tree in the courtyard of whose house crossed the boundary, and the branches stretched out to another house.

A fat aunt poured water out with a wooden basin, and the splash splashed on the old man sitting at the opposite door.

A group of children laughed and rolled down the alley, the dust rolled up under their feet and rose with the smoke; When you ascend to a high place, you will not be separated from each other.

The people in the alleys are simple and vibrant, lively and quiet.

In the depths of this alley, there is a slender figure.

Yin Bing, dressed in gray and coarse clothes, stood by the wall to choose vegetables, and raised his hand from time to time to brush his hair that was blown by the wind.

In the sunset, such an elegant figure is particularly charming.

Behind her sat a lady, slightly obese, with a needle and thread in her hand, sewing a white gauze skirt.

"Bing'er, what flowers do you like?" The lady asked.

"What flowers?"

"Your skirt is torn, I'll make it up for you! It's just the big girl's house, and it's not good to have patches on your clothes! Simply, I'll use a cloth to sew you a dodge flower and cover it, so it looks good! ”

Yin Bing smiled: "Auntie bothered, thank you, Auntie." ”

"Oops!" The eldest lady said angrily, "Thank you for what!" In the few days you have lived here, the more I look at it, the happier I become, and I have already seen you as my daughter! ”

Yin Bing's face turned red, so he lowered his head and concentrated on choosing vegetables, and stopped talking.

"Bing'er, what flowers do you like?"

"Most of the girls love orchids." It was a tall and strong man who answered.

The man walked in the door, put down his burden, and said with a smile: "Mother, when you sewed and mended my clothes, you didn't pay so much attention to it!" ”

Yin Bing bowed slightly: "Childe, you're back." ”

The man smiled and nodded, but he couldn't stop staring at Yin Bing, looking at her red face, looking at her small and delicate nose, and looking at her long eyelashes......

"You are a big man, why are you still competing with Miss Bing'er for favor? It's more than 20 years, find a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and let me hug my grandson is the right way! ”

"Mother!" The man feigned annoyance and said, "Why did you mention this again! ”

The eldest lady smiled: "Don't let me say it yet!" Let me tell you, if you can marry a girl like Bing'er as a wife, then I will never talk about you again! ”

Yin Bing's face blushed even more.

The man blamed: "Mother! How can you say these things in front of other girls! ”

"Oh!" The eldest lady smiled weirdly, "I shouldn't have said it!" It shouldn't be said! It seems that my family Hao'er still knows how to feel sorry for girls! ”

Yin Bing lowered his head and said hurriedly, "I'll go and cook." ”

The eldest lady looked at Yin Bing's back and smiled snickeringly: "I'm shy!" Hao'er, my mother really likes this Bing'er girl, she is beautiful and diligent, if she can really be the daughter-in-law of my old Zhang family, I will wake up with a smile in my dreams! ”

Zhang Hao pouted: "What's the use of just liking it, Miss Bing'er is so beautiful, everyone likes it." ”

"Don't you see she's shy? As soon as this daughter's family is shy, it means that there is a drama! ”

Zhang Hao frowned, and his eyes immediately revealed a light of joy: "Really? Do you mean that Miss Bing'er is willing to marry me? ”

"Who said she was willing!" The eldest lady shook her head, "People haven't said anything yet!" You, be kind to other girls, and when I find out her origin and family history, I will go to her house to propose! ”

"But Miss Bing'er was originally a famine in her hometown, and she fled here, how can she find out her life experience?"

"Silly boy!" The eldest lady patted Zhang Hao's head lightly, "You will believe whatever she says!" She was a weak woman, alone, how could she flee to such a distant place? If we want to marry her, we'll have to figure things out. ”

Zhang Hao nodded.

The eldest lady looked at him with some disgust: "Why don't you go to the kitchen and give her a hand?" Everything is secondary, the most important thing is that you can please others! ”

"Oh." Zhang Hao nodded and went in.

In the kitchen, Yin Bing was cooking seriously.

Zhang Hao entered the room to take a look, but it was only a glance, and he hurriedly retreated.

"Mother, what should I say to her?"

"Oops! You can't talk! Of course, I asked her if she had any relatives, and if so, where were the relatives! Where will she go in the future, does she have any plans! Silly boy, is the old lady giving birth to a mouth for you to eat? Can't speak? ”

Zhang Hao slipped into the kitchen again.

Yin Bing is still busy cooking, his hands and feet are nimble and organized.

Zhang Hao watched from the side for a long time before he cleared his throat and asked casually, "Miss Bing'er?" ”

"What's wrong?" Yin Bing turned his face sideways, and his voice was soft, but it forced Zhang Hao to panic.

Zhang Hao had to be strong and calm: "We only call you Bing'er, and I don't know the girl's surname." ”

"Don't have your surname He."

"Oh, it turned out to be Miss He Bing." Zhang Hao nodded politely and said with a smile.

Yin Bing just nodded lightly.

"Miss He Bing, are there any relatives in the world?"

"Relatives...... Yin Bing shook his head and said, "No." ”

"Oh!" Zhang Hao was secretly happy in his heart, but he was still unfazed on the surface, and said, "Since you are helpless, it is better to live in my house with peace of mind......

"How can this be? After staying at your house for a few days, I was already very sad about not leaving. ”

"It doesn't matter! My mother said that she likes you very much, and only treats you as a daughter in her heart, and the three of us are like a family. Zhang Hao said as he secretly looked at Yin Bing's face.

But Yin Bing's face was as usual, and he only said: "With the help of the eldest mother and the son, the little woman is already content, and she doesn't dare to continue to bother." ”

"My mother likes you......"

"I like my aunt too." Yin Bing smiled, "I think there should be a friend coming to me, if he comes, I will go with him." ”

"Friends?" A trace of uneasiness swelled in Zhang Hao's heart, "You still have friends." Are you leaving Little Sheep City, and where are you going? ”

"I don't know." Yin Bing shook his head, "Usually he goes, I'll just follow behind." ”

"When will your friend come?"

Yin Bing was slightly stunned, still just shaking his head.

How did she know when Hua Yi would come? He may have died in battle that day, or he may have escaped alive and completely forgotten about her cheap friend. Whether he will come or not is a question.

Zhang Hao had nothing to say for a while, so he had to run outside and ask his mother for a confession.

The eldest lady thought for a while and said, "The friend she said was probably washed away when the refugees entered the city, right?" Listen to me, Little Sheep City said that it is not small, and her refugee friend will have to work hard to find her! You'll have to hurry up and use your tricks to make her die for you before her friends find her! ”

"So what should I do?"

"Of course, buy more delicious and beautiful food to make her happy, and then make it clear so that she understands your mind!"

Zhang Hao clapped his hands: "Okay!" Good! Good! ”

Zhang Hao felt that this method could be followed, so he didn't wait for Yin Bing to bring the food to the table, and rushed directly to the market.

Zhang Hao stopped in front of a jewelry stall, carefully selected, and finally held a butterfly hairpin and couldn't put it down, and said to himself: "This hairpin is very beautiful, Miss Bing'er will definitely like it!" ”

didn't know that standing behind him was Xu Wei'er, who had been looking for Yin Bing for a day and a night!

Xu Weier heard the word Bing'er, and she was inexplicably born with hope.

So she asked, "This boy, I want to ask, did you buy this hairpin for a girl named Bing'er?"

"yes." Zhang Hao nodded, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Wei'er said: "In Xia Xu Wei'er, I came to Little Sheep City this time to find a Bing'er girl, but I don't know if it's the one you say." ”

Zhang Hao sighed in his heart, and immediately thought of the friend who Miss Bing'er said was looking for her, presumably this is it, right?

But Zhang Hao didn't dare to be sure, so he just hesitated: "I really don't know this, maybe it's it, maybe it's not ......"

But if so, wouldn't Miss Bing'er have to go with this girl?

The mother said that she wanted Miss Bing'er to fall in love with herself before meeting her friends, and she would die for herself; But now that she hasn't had time to give her gifts, is she leaving?

Xu Wei'er smiled: "May I ask the Bing'er girl in the child's mouth, is her full name Yin Bing?" ”

"Yin Bing?" When Zhang Hao heard this name, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "No, no, no!" My Bing'er girl, named He Bing! It's not her! It's not her! ”

Xu Wei'er nodded: "It seems that it is not the one I am looking for, excuse me, leave." ”

Zhang Hao was happy in his heart, this was a surprise that was lost and regained. But he also reminded himself that Miss Bing'er might really leave, and if she wanted to leave her, she would have to work harder.

Back in the alley, Miss Bing'er said, "Childe, where did you go, why didn't you even eat?" I've left you food, but it's cold, so I'll give you some more heat. ”

Zhang Hao scratched his head shyly and said, "Trouble girl." I just went to the street to buy something. ”

"Oh." Yin Bing didn't ask carefully, so he went into the house to have a hot meal.

The eldest lady smiled secretly: "This Bing'er girl is very careful and can take care of people!" If you can really marry her, and she will take care of you, I will rest assured! ”

Zhang Hao was naturally happy when he heard this, and secretly stretched out his hand into his arms, and touched the butterfly hairpin worth dozens of yuan.

"When I had a good opportunity, I gave her something and confided in her." Zhang Hao thought so, "I just don't know, does she have me in her heart......"

During the meal, Zhang Hao found a message and said: "I went to the street to buy something today, but someone asked me about Miss Bing'er. ”

Yin Bing exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly asked, "Is it?" Is it a man? ”

Zhang Hao didn't expect her to react so violently, so he replied, "No." It's a girl, about 20 years old, carrying a bamboo basket, like a charlatan. ”
