Looking at the woman's side face, her red lips closed one by one, a smile appeared on the corner of Qi Yunqing's lips, patted her waist gently, and said softly: "Do you still want to eat soft cakes?" I'll take you to buy it. ”

"Okay." Su Jin nodded.

In fact, she didn't really want to eat soft cakes, she just wanted to walk with him for a while and talk.

These days, the two have no other time to get along except for talking at night.

She remembered the matter of the Ma family and asked, "Yunqing, what did you say to the Ma family?" Yesterday they came to apologize. ”

guessed that she would ask about it, Qi Yunqing didn't hide it, "Ma Chenghe followed ......"

Seeing him stop, Su Jin asked curiously, "With what?" ”

Suddenly, the hand around her waist tightened, and in the next second, the whole person moved to the side.

"Talk to the road." Qi Yunqing grimaced and scolded.

This kind of thing must be put an end to whether he is by his side or not.

Only then did Su Jin see that there was a vertical wooden pole in front of her, which should be used to build a tent.

With a serious look on the man's face, she smiled, "I'll pay attention next time." ”

Then she changed the topic, "Yunqing, what is Ma Chenghe with?" ”

Qi Yunqing let out a long sigh, he couldn't take her, so he had to protect her tighter, and then said slowly, "Ma Chenghe has a relationship with Widow Deng in the village. ”

Rao is Su Jin couldn't help but be surprised, "Ah! Widow Deng is a well-known chaste martyr in the village, and her deceased husband was a soldier who died in a war a few years ago.

Widow Zheng is average-looking, she has met once or twice, she is not a person of many words, and she is even very alienated from people.

Why did you get along with Ma Chenghe?

Ma Chenghe is notoriously cowardly, how can he have the guts?

In another person, she would not be so surprised.

"Yunqing, how do you know?"

"I've met two people by chance."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more about what the two of them were doing at the time, Su Jin knew that it must be more than just hugging.

She didn't ask about it, and then said with some curiosity: "Yunqing, why do you think they are getting better?" ”

"Ma Chenghe and Widow Deng grew up together."

"So the two have feelings?"

"I don't know."

……

The two of them talked as they walked, and it took about a quarter of an hour to walk from the dock to the soft cake stand.

Aunt Yu from the soft cake stall has been a little familiar with Qi Yunqing in the past few days, and greeted affectionately, "Yunqing, you are here, why did you get off work so early today?" ”

It was also through small talk that I learned that this little minister turned out to be Qi Yunqing, who was the first in the county test and the government test.

Then she looked at Su Jin, her eyes lit up, this little lady looked good, and the two stood together, so they were a good match.

She said again: "Yunqing, is this your daughter-in-law?" ”

Qi Yunqing looked at Su Jin and smiled warmly, her eyes soft, "Well, my daughter-in-law." ”

Su Jin couldn't help but chuckle, it was the first time I heard him say that I am a daughter-in-law, and the men in the village usually call him that.

It's a little cheesy, but it feels pretty good.

She politely shouted, "Auntie." ”

The eldest aunt smiled and responded, "Yunqing, or the old rules?" ”

Usually buy five.

Qi Yunqing pondered for a moment, there were three people in the Jiang family, five was enough, and he "Hmm." "Yes.

He took out ten pieces of silver and put them on the board.

The eldest aunt picked up two texts and handed them to Qi Yunqing, grinning: "Yunqing brought her daughter-in-law for the first time, and the aunt invited Yunqing's daughter-in-law to eat one." ”

"No need, aunt." Qi Yunqing refused.

"Take it, take care of your aunt's business in the future." The aunt stuffed Su Jin.

Su Jin couldn't cry or laugh, and then thanked him generously.

Soon the cake was ready, Qi Yunqing took it, handed one to Su Jin, and instructed: "Be careful of scalding and eat slowly." ”

Su Jin took a bite, the hot one was much better than the warm one, and then she blew a few mouthfuls and handed it to Qi Yunqing's mouth, "Yunqing, you take a bite." ”

There were still a lot of people in the bazaar, and they frequently looked at the two of them, but neither of them should have seen them.

Qi Yun bent down indifferently and took a bite, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, it happened to be the place where Su Jin bited.

Su Jin didn't dig deeper, withdrew his hand, and ate carefully.

It was still early, and the two of them didn't walk fast, and even deliberately slowed down a little.

At the door of Jiang's house, he met Jiang Qi who ran back and gasped.

Su Jin hurriedly smoothed his back, with a bit of an eldest sister's tone, "Don't run in such a hurry, it's easy to fall, this ground is hard, and if you fall, you will definitely break the skin." ”

"I see, sister."

Jiang Qi replied in a proper manner, looking at her with eyes full of tenderness.

Seeing this, Su Jin didn't say anything more, and took a cake from Qi Yunqing's hand and gave it to him, "The soft cakes in this house are delicious, you can taste them." ”

"Okay." Jiang Qi was not polite to her.

……

After eating, the night was already dark.

After Qi Yunqing pinched the quilt for Su Jin, he blew out the oil lamp in the room and went to Jiang Qi's house.

There is a custom here that husbands and wives are not allowed to sleep together when they are guests in other people's homes, which is said to be unlucky for the host's family.

Qi Yunqing doesn't pick beds, picks people, but he is not at home, he can light an oil lamp and read books.

I had to lie on the bed and close my eyes and think about things.

The man next to him moved, and suddenly said, "My sister told you about that." The tone is yes.

Qi Yunqing opened his eyes, his eyes were pitch black, and he let out a light "um".

"Sister must not have told you that she used to have a hard time."

Jiang Qi's mind flashed the picture of the past, and he said, "She was thirteen years old, I was eight years old, and I didn't have a father and mother that year, and I was still young at that time, and I didn't know what it meant, so a lot of things fell on her." ”

"Our woman there can study or be an official, she has excellent grades since she was a child, and she is the first in every exam."

"But my family couldn't afford the tuition for two people, so she dropped out of school so that I could study."

"She's thirteen years old, which is equivalent to a seven- or eight-year-old child here, and she is child labor, and it is illegal to hire child labor in our place, and many jobs do not require her."

"Later, I washed dishes in a restaurant, and she didn't stop for four or five hours in a row, she was small, and she was scolded a lot and beaten a lot, but she never said anything to me."

"Once I came back, I had five finger prints on my cheeks, which were so red that I was shocking, and even though the tears were rolling in my eyes, I was still holding back in front of me."

"I asked her what was wrong, and she said that she accidentally hit a tree, and she thought I was small and easy to deceive, but in fact I knew everything, but I didn't ask."

"I'm afraid that I can't help crying when I ask myself, and she will come to coax me when the time comes."

Speaking of this, he suppressed his choked up, she was obviously the little princess in the palm of her hand at home.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "That night, I saw her sitting on the edge of the bed holding a picture of the whole family through the crack in the door, and her shoulders twitched in a depressed manner. ”

"She didn't even dare to cry out loud in order not to let me know."

"Later, I saved money to start a business, and her life was better, but she was actually worse than before, she often accompanied people to drink until she had stomach bleeding, and severe stomach bleeding would lead to shock, that is, coma, and even death if she was not treated in time......"
