Life: Eight

After a period of getting along and thinking, Shi Qiu finally decided to accept Su Zhi, and no matter what it would be like in the future, at least in her heart for now, Su Zhi is someone she can accept and like in her heart.

In the past month, Su Zhi has been busy with official business in the camp every day, and he will come to Shi Qiu to sit for a while, or if there is something difficult in Shi Qiu's wine shop, he will also actively help solve it. At the beginning, the guys and wine workers in the tavern all called Su Zhi a son-in-law, but after a long time, the bolder children in the tavern began to call Su Zhi a brother-in-law, which made the child be criticized by his father and mother, and then came over to comfort Shi Qiu, you see, the shopkeeper, the child thinks that Master Su is suitable for you, so you should go down.

Shi Qiu smiled and nodded silently, thinking that when Su Zhi came another day, he would talk to him about getting married.

But after waiting for two days in a row, Shi Qiu couldn't wait for Su Zhi to come, and when he inquired, he learned that the Beidi soldiers who had been beaten away before went and returned, wanting to take advantage of the autumn harvest season to snatch some food back.

Su Zhi went out with his soldiers, and it is said that he drove out those Beidi soldiers, sent troops to reinforce various fortresses, and fought a bloody battle with those enemy troops who were not dead in ambition.

Hearing the news, Shi Qiu remembered that many years ago, Su Zhi had a scar on his back, and he felt his heart beating, praying to God that if he could return safely, then she would marry him, and no matter what happened, as long as he lived, he lived well.

God may have heard Shi Qiu's prayer, but he didn't want Shi Qiu to fulfill his wish so easily, Su Zhi came back, but this time he was not sitting on a high-headed horse, but sitting in a carriage and was pulled back.

When the victorious team passed by Shi Qiu's tavern, Su Zhi also got out of the carriage and went to look at Shi Qiu, Shi Qiu saw that he was bandaging his arm, and the white bandage was still stained with bright red blood, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and tears appeared in his eyes, for fear that Su Zhi would have some accidents.

As a result, it was Su Zhi who was injured and bleeding, but the person who was comforted became Shi Qiu, who pulled Su Zhi's sleeve and told him that when he was injured, they would get married.

This sentence almost made Su Zhi want to untie the wound on the spot, or jump a few times to prove that he is alive, but he was stopped by Shi Qiu, and pushed out of the door, asking him to recuperate.

Within a few days, Su Zhi's injuries healed, but there was another problem in front of Shi Qiu.

She wanted to marry him and become his wife, but Su Zhi was temporarily sent to Liangcheng by the imperial court, if she married him, she might have to leave Liangcheng, leave the wine shop she ran single-handedly, and leave these guys and children she took in. Moreover, the godfather has the grace of taking in Shi Qiu, he is too old to withstand the long journey, or to a new place, to adapt to the water and soil customs there, he was born in Liangcheng and grew up in Liangcheng, his family is buried in Liangcheng, and he must not be willing to follow Shi Qiu.

But if Shiqiu stays, he may have to be separated from Su Zhi again.

When this problem was troubled in his heart, Su Zhi helped Shi Qiu solve it, Su Zhi only said lightly and skillfully, saying that he had invited the imperial court, because in recent years, Beidi has come to attack again and again, so he stayed in Liangcheng as a city guard to protect the stability of the border pass.

When Shi Qiu heard this, all the worries and burdens in his heart were put down at once, and he was worried for many days, as if he had suddenly lifted the dark clouds and seen the sun.

But later, the soldier who came to the tavern to sell wine said to Shi Qiu, in fact, Su Zhi made a military merit this time, and he wanted to be promoted elsewhere, but Su Zhi used this military merit to ask for his life from above, and only stayed in this small Liangcheng and became a city guard.

After Shi Qiu heard this, he felt touched in his heart, so he ran to ask Su Zhi if this was the case. Su Zhi only understated, saying that he liked Liangcheng, he was alone when his family was broken, that is, he joined the army from Liangcheng, he lived in Liangcheng for many years, and he also slowly cheered up in Liangcheng, so now for the sake of Shiqiu, for himself, or for the enthusiastic people in Liangcheng, he is also willing to stay here in the future and stay here.

Shi Qiu burst into tears, although Su Zhi said so much, but she knew that the main reason was because of her, he noticed her embarrassment, knew her hard work for the tavern for many years, and knew her love for wine, so when she was embarrassed, he accommodated her, obeyed her, and thought about her everywhere.

Su Zhi looked at her crying with joy, only opened his arms and asked her for a hug.

Shi Qiu threw herself into his arms, felt him pat her back, stroked her hair, and laughed that she was a silly girl.

The marriage was happily decided like this, Shi Qiu made his own decisions, and his daughter's family set their own marriage, even if this kind of thing is placed in the entire beam, I am afraid that it is rare.

Before getting married, Su Zhi also told Shi Qiu something, saying that he had returned to Huainan later, and had also inquired about the fate of her uncle, and it seemed that everything was also in Shi Qiu's expectations.

Her uncle is addicted to eating, drinking, and having fun, his heart is not in wine at all, as soon as she leaves, the wine will inevitably change its taste, and his uncle doesn't care about that, if he is completely in charge, he will definitely cut corners and save all the costs that can be saved, but the province may not make the business good, and after the business is cold and the income is weak, her uncle will definitely find a way to deduct the wages of the winemaker, and the original winemaker will be scattered, and his wine will only get worse and worse.

Shi Qiu knew her uncle, which seemed to be a very inevitable consequence, but Su Zhi said that it was far more than that.

After the winery made a profit, her uncle spent more and more money, and after the business of the winery was cold, his spending problem did not change because of the decrease in income, but began to intensify, wanting to win back all the losses on the gambling table.

At the beginning, he bet on the valuable things in the family, and then on the shop, and after the shop lost, he bet on the house again, and finally he was clean and had nothing, and even the gambling house disliked him for being poor and let him get out.

In fact, relying on gambling money to turn over, it is a whimsical thing, in this world, in addition to opening gambling houses, Shi Qiu has only heard of losing and bankrupt, but he has never heard of anyone who has won a lot of money.

Her uncle has been begging for food and drink since he was a child, and when his father died, he relied on the wine shop to eat and drink, and now the wine shop has fallen, and I am afraid that the passer-by will give him a steamed bun, which is already very good.

If it is true, evil will be rewarded.

Originally, Shi Qiu thought that at least, her uncle still had a daughter who married well, Su Zhi said, her sister Shi Juan, because she was arrogant and arrogant since she was a child, and her temperament could not be changed when she arrived at her mother-in-law's house, but her mother's family could tolerate her temper, which does not mean that the people of her mother-in-law's family will also get used to her, it is said that at the end of the year, her sister Shi Juan was abandoned by her husband's family, and now the uncle's family, perhaps when they are begging for food on the street, they have to blame him for why his brother died early, why did Shi Qiu run.

However, this is all someone else's business, Shi Qiu feels that it has nothing to do with her, if she has time to return to Huainan, she must go to the grave of her father and mother, and the living people don't need to burn paper money.

I feel a lot of emotion, the day is still coming, on the day of marriage, Shi Qiu wore a cut wedding dress, sat in front of the mirror and looked at his face with heavy makeup, and couldn't help laughing.

A few years ago, when she was busy for the tavern, she always forgot that she was a girl who had reached the age of marriage, and sometimes she felt that she was the same as the man who worked hard outside, only hoping that her wine could make a name, instead of thinking about the wind and snow all day long, thinking about what kind of young man she would marry.

said that she hadn't thought about it at all, but it was also fake, she dreamed in her dream that she was going to get married, and the hijab was lifted, revealing Su Zhi's face. Because of this dream, Shi Qiu was shy for several days, and now that she really wants to marry Su Zhi, she has never told him, for fear that he will be proud of his charm to the point that he will like her for many years.

brought Huanxi porridge in to Shi Qiu's aunt, saw Shi Qiu's smiling appearance, hurriedly closed the door, and advised: "My good shopkeeper, when she gets married, the girls are going to cry and marry, how can anyone be like this, and they can't close their mouths when they smile." ”

Shi Qiu said: "Isn't this a happy thing." ”

"A happy event is a happy event." Aunt Sun put down the porridge and stretched out her hand to straighten a hairpin on Shi Qiu's head, "But the custom here is like this, saying that the more miserable the crying, it means that the girl has filial piety and is reluctant to be parents." ”

"I don't have to be reluctant, I will always be by my godfather's side." Saying that, Shi Qiu took a bite of the red happy porridge, afraid that Aunt Sun would be worried, and said: "Don't worry, when the hijab is covered on my head, I will cry twice, and who will not lift it to see if I am crying or laughing." ”

"Shopkeeper." said, without waiting for Shi Qiu to cry, the aunt Sun actually stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, and said earnestly: "We fled here, and we also lost the shopkeeper to you to take in our mother and son, when the little noble son just did the running hall, he didn't dare to say it loudly, and you didn't blame it, our mother and daughter are grateful to you, and now the shopkeeper has landed in the future, and the people in the store are happy for you." ”

Shi Qiu turned around and took Aunt Sun's hand, "It's you guys, I stayed, you see how clever and diligent the little nobleman is now, and there were a lot of people who begged for a living on my door back then, I took a fancy to your good character and stayed, although I got married, but I didn't leave, I am still in the restaurant, by your side, as long as my restaurant is in one day, we all have a home, and we all have food." ”

Aunt Sun nodded, "The shopkeeper is a man with a heart, and Master Su is also a big man, with him, not only the people in our restaurant have a home, but the people of the entire Liangcheng have a home." ”

"Yes." Shi Qiu nodded, "It won't be wrong to choose him in this life." ”
