Su Zhi was dressed in red and rode a horse, and came to the door with a team of liyue blowing, blowing, beating and joy.

Shi Qiu was led by Aunt Sun's hand, crying with a hijab, and walked towards the sedan chair.

Su Zhi got off the horse and took Shi Qiu's hand, with a little smile in his words, and whispered next to the hijab: "The voice of the lady crying can be smaller, and no matter how loud the laughter is, it will come out." ”

Shi Qiu gently pinched Su Zhi's hand and reproached: "This hasn't passed the door yet, are you starting to dislike it?" ”

After saying that, listening to Su Zhi's laughter, he quickly admitted his mistake, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Shi Qiu snorted lightly and sat in the sedan chair.

In the small border town, their wedding was not very luxurious and extravagant, just like ordinary people's homes, this is what Shi Qiu meant, Su Zhi respected her decision, and thought that the wedding was just a passing scene, the key is that in the next few decades, Shi Qiu felt that good was really good.

According to the customs of Liangcheng, the brazier worships heaven and earth, and the woman with both children and daughters holds all kinds of tea and snacks, so that Shi Qiu drank cup after cup and ate one bite after another, and finally the sun was close to noon, and Shi Qiu was supported by a little maid and arrived in the new house.

Sitting on the bed covered with bright red covers, the peanuts, melon seeds, longan, etc. under the quilt were full of beds, and Shiqiu was uncomfortable to sit, so he got up and pushed the pile of things aside with his hands, and sat back on the bed.

This sat down until the evening, Shi Qiu listened to the sound of singing and laughter outside, listened to the soldiers at the border pass and some people in Liangcheng, kept toasting Su Zhi, saying congratulations and the like. Shi Qiu listened attentively, the banquet was actually eaten from noon to evening, and he didn't know how much wine he drank when he wanted to come to Su Zhi.

Thinking of this, Shi Qiu called the little maid outside the door and told her to go to the kitchen to cook some sobering soup, the little maid was obviously just found by Su Zhi in order to take care of her after getting married, the person looked honest, but he was not very clever, Shi Qiu told this matter again, and the little maid understood, and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.

But when the banquet outside stopped, Su Zhi entered the new room, the decanting soup on the table was already cold, Shi Qiu was just about to say to heat it up, he lifted his head and looked at it, but saw that Su Zhi had already picked up the bowl and drank it cleanly.

When he turned his head, he saw Shi Qiu secretly looking at him from behind the hijab, and when he turned his face, he hurriedly put down the hijab again, sat upright, and waited for him to lift the hijab.

Su Zhi was a little drunk, but his steps were still steady, he approached Shi Qiu's side, picked up the hijab with the weighing pole prepared in advance, and looked at Shi Qiu under the lamp carefully, the smile on his face was difficult to hide.

Shi Qiu raised his eyes and glanced at Su Zhi, and saw that he was not drunk and confused, so he said, "What's ridiculous?" It's not like I haven't seen it. ”

"I just have to laugh when I see it, such a good-looking lady has been married back to my home."

Shi Qiu's face flushed and lowered his head.

Su Zhi stretched out his hand to remove the heavy crown of hair on Shi Qiu's head, and at this time, the knock outside the door sounded softly, and the little maid came in with the prepared meal, and after putting it on the table, she quietly retreated.

"After waiting for an afternoon, I knew that you must be hungry, so I ordered the kitchen to cook for you, so you can eat a little first."

Shi Qiu listened, looked at Su Zhi, and felt warm in her heart, she had never heard of a newlywed husband, the first thing he did when he entered the cave room was to let the bride eat, but this also showed that Su Zhi was different, although he was a military general, but he has always been a careful person.

The two of them have already met, and they have a clear understanding of their respective personalities, Shi Qiu did feel a little hungry, so he didn't twist much, and went over to eat the meal, but when he looked up, he saw that Su Zhi had filled the two wine glasses on the table.

Shi Qiu said: "I've been drinking for an afternoon, do you still want to drink?" ”

"It's not about an afternoon's drink, it's the wine that's the most important."

Shi Qiu suddenly remembered the newlywed Yan'er, this should be their cup of wine, looked up at her husband, and couldn't help but blush again.

Taking Su Zhi's wine, Shi Qiu felt his approach, and the two of them held their arms and slowly drank a glass of wine, the taste was mellow and long, Shi Qiu imagined that this might be like their future life, the two of them were together and loved each other.

In the night of the candles in the cave room, Su Zhi hugged her very gently, and this sudden sense of happiness made Shi Qiu feel as if she had returned to her childhood, she had everything all of a sudden, wine, and someone who loved her.

The days after marriage are quiet and comfortable, Shi Qiu is still a capable proprietress in the tavern, Su Zhi is also busy all day, the time when the two are really together, in addition to three meals a day, is to snuggle together at night and whisper for a while.

Sometimes Shi Qiu would ask Su Zhi some rough little temperament, asking him, haven't you met your favorite girl for so many years? Su Zhi said yes, Shi Qiu pursed his mouth, Su Zhi said that the girl was her, and Shi Qiu laughed and scolded him for slipping his mouth.

Autumn passed, and gradually came to winter, the winter at the border pass was different from other places, the cold wind blew like a knife on the face, the heavy snow sometimes continued for several days, a thick layer was piled on the roof and the ground, and the shade could survive for a winter.

The more bad the weather, Su Zhi has to go to the intersections of various fortresses to see, the guards everywhere can not relax and slack, he has been in Liangcheng for many years, knowing that the Beidi soldiers are haunted, and they will be like a dormant wolf at any time, rushing to the direction of Liangcheng.

Often at this time, Shi Qiu will always make a few more shoes and socks for him, and every time he comes back, the heavy snow will soak the boots and trouser legs, and when he pulls her hand, there are long cracks on his hands, which makes Shi Qiu very distressed. Shi Qiu knew that Su Zhi was a hard-working person, a responsible person, he was not only good to her, he also pretended to be the whole Liangcheng and the whole country in his heart, he went from a soldier with nothing to today, all by himself.

Shi Qiu felt that such a responsible man could be entrusted for life, and meeting Su Zhi was the greatest luck in her life.

When the New Year is approaching, the weather has been sunny for half a month, and the accumulated winter snow has begun to melt slowly, the people of Liangcheng are preparing for the New Year, and the taverns in Shiqiu are also busy, taking advantage of the New Year's time to sell more wine.

After the tavern was really built, Shi Qiu did not steal all the business of the tavern, her father once taught her that no matter what she does, she can't do it absolutely, leave a line in everything, be good to others, and be good to herself.

The wine sold in Shiqiu is soft and rigid, but it is not a real spirit, and some experienced winemakers say that it is better to make some spirits and sell them, and the effect is definitely not worse than others. Shi Qiu shook her head and didn't do it, if it was just peaceful today, the life of the common people is not easy, a wine shop can feed more than a dozen mouthfuls up and down, she can stop in moderation, she has tasted the taste of going to a dead end, why do you want to catch others up and down?

On the New Year, Su Zhi took Shi Qiu to walk on the street, the two of them talked and laughed, and then watched the fireworks bloom in the sky, Su Zhi said that the fireworks looked like dandelions, blown by the wind, and scattered in the sky, Shi Qiu said that it was like a locust flower, which provoked Su Zhi to laugh, Shi Qiu said that it was like a locust flower, like the one she experienced when she was a child, and it belonged to the feeling of happiness.

As a result, Su Zhi was not as emotional as Shi Qiu, he only took her hand with his big palm and scolded her several times in a row, "Silly girl." Shiqiu raised a cloud of snow from the corner and chased him for a long distance.

After the New Year, after the weather began to spring, Shi Qiu's godfather's body was not as good as day by day, Shi Qiu took care of him, and when he listened to one doctor after another make her want to open, he felt sad in his heart.

But in this world, sadness can't change anything, time still took away this kind old man, this person who gave Shi Qiu hope and encouragement in despair.

Shi Qiu remembered that her father, who let her ride on her neck when she was a child, also died in the spring.

When it was close to Qingming, Su Zhi took leave, and the two of them returned to their hometown together, first to Su Zhi's hometown, and then to Huainan, where Shiqiu grew up.

Back to Huainan, Shi Qiu found that everything was wrong, she stood outside the house she once had, looking through the courtyard wall that the thick old locust tree inside was still there, still budding, about to bloom lush flowers, but the people living in the yard, but she didn't know it, her uncle sold the house, and it became someone else's home, and she couldn't accommodate her anymore.

Su Zhi patted her shoulder, Shi Qiu didn't know that because of the look she raised her eyes to look at the old locust tree, Su Zhi was planted with locust trees in the corners and corners of the yard in Liangcheng, where the climate is changeable, and when spring arrives, the courtyard is full of flowers.

When you arrive at a familiar place, you will inevitably meet familiar people, and someone in the neighborhood recognized Shi Qiu, stopped and said a few words to her, which can be regarded as saying hello. Someone knew about the grievances of Shi Qiu's family and told Shi Qiu to ask her to go under the stone bridge on the west side of the street to have a look.

Under the stone bridge on Naxi Street is a place to sell livestock, and the people who rush to the market on weekdays walk around that side, just because there are more livestock, and the waste is full of dung, and when the weather is warm, or it is washed by the rain, it will cause a smell of urine and feces when it passes over there, unless it is to buy and sell livestock, otherwise people on the side will not go there.

Shi Qiu got closer, and then she understood why the man asked her to come here to have a look, because Shi Qiu was standing on the bridge, and saw that not far from the bridge, her uncle was pushing a huge bucket with a cart in the cowshed, shoveling cow dung in it one by one, and the cow flicked its tail and got it in his face, he scolded a few words, and continued to do it.

Shi Qiu looked, he hadn't seen him for a few years, he had aged a lot, and he had long since lost his extravagant appearance. Shi Qiu knew that his uncle was a few years younger than his father, and he had never experienced the hard life of his father since he was a child, so he thought that money was easy to come by.
