Chapter 15 "Childhood Sweethearts"
Although she was tired walking on the road, she looked at a car full of things, thinking about her younger siblings who were looking forward to her at home, and her quiet body was full of energy! Today, Su Mu sold three taels of silver, and roe deer sold for two taels, for a total of five taels of silver. But half of the money was spent on buying things at once, and I couldn't help but sigh quietly, this money is really unspent, is this what people often say, hard work to pick up the autumn ears of wheat, a meal of pimple soup to pull away. It seems that I have to continue to go into the mountains, because spring planting is about to begin, although there is no land at home, but I quietly think that I can buy so one and a half acres of land before planting, so that the food of the four sisters and brothers can be settled, and it is not a matter to buy food like this! And most importantly, you have to build your house before the rainy season comes. The thatched hut I live in now has fallen into disrepair, but it can't withstand the rain, and when the time comes, it will collapse, and it will not be good to hurt my younger siblings.
An Qing thought all the way and walked with difficulty on the way home. Looking up at the sun, it looked like it was about one or two o'clock, and there was no one on the road, and after a quiet breath for the nth time, he continued to walk slowly and hard. The quiet clothes have been soaked with sweat, blown by the cold wind, and shivered smartly, and the sky gradually darkened, until the sun set, and the quiet did not see Qingshan Village in the twilight.
From the entrance of the village to the home, it is a section of uphill road, quietly straighten up and exhale, gritting his teeth and pushing forward with the strength of feeding, at this time, the palms of the hands are hot and painful, and the soles of the feet must also be blistered, and every step is painful. It hurts, she is tired, she is hungry, she is thirsty, but she has to persevere, in order to be worthy of the quiet of death, and for the quiet of being alive again, and the brother and sister who are waiting for her return at home.
Suddenly, the cart in his hand was snatched away, and when he looked up quietly, he saw Brother Qingshan of Uncle Bolt's family, pushing the cart with both hands, tilting his head and looking at her with reproachful eyes.
"Brother Qingshan, why are you here?" Quiet asked a little strangely, because the road led to the hillside, where there were only four of them, and Brother Qingshan's house was in the middle of the village, and it was really strange to appear here.
Gao Qingshan tilted his head to look at Jingjing, seeing that she was so tired that she was blushing and panting, and she couldn't say anything when the words of reproach came to her mouth. All that remains is distress. "I heard from the people in the village who rushed to the market that you went to the town, so don't worry about coming down and having a look. You said that you too, I have an ox cart at home, and I run to the town every day, and you don't do it with a ready-made car, but you have to push a cart to catch the market. I also bought these things, and you don't look at what time it is? How unsafe it is for a girl to walk on the road. ”
Listening to Gao Qingshan's slightly reproachful words, he smiled quietly: "The things I sell in the morning take up too much space, if Brother Qingshan's oxcart pulls me, I won't be able to sit on the people next to me." Isn't that a delay in business? Uncle and aunt, but you can save more money with this ox cart so that you can tell your daughter-in-law! ”
Seeing that Jing Jing actually used this to make fun of him, and said it so heartlessly. Gao Qingshan was a little angry, and opened his mouth without thinking about it: "You know that I..." He has always liked to be quiet all these years. Quiet and Huaihua are the same age and half a year younger than Huaihua, the two of them have been good since they were children, and they often play together, so he is often with Quiet. It's a childhood sweetheart who grew up together.。
In the past, when Uncle Dahai and his aunt were still alive, his mother also talked to him, but Uncle Dahai didn't say anything, but his aunt refused. In fact, he himself knows that he is not worthy of being quiet, the quiet person is beautiful, tall and tall, not only literate and hyphenated, but also able to work hard, even in these ten miles and eight towns, he can't find a better one than her. As for everyone in the village saying that she is fierce, isn't it all forced? He is seventeen years old this year, and he knows that his father and mother are saying goodbye to him, but he is unwilling, because he has peace in his heart.
Seeing Gao Qingshan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Jing Jing was a little puzzled, looked up, but he didn't expect to see the deep affection in his eyes when he looked at him, Jing Jing quickly turned his head and walked forward as if nothing happened. She knew that Gao Qingshan liked herself, because Aunt Bolt had revealed it to her mother before, and her mother also asked herself, but she only regarded him as an elder brother, and she did not have the affection of men and women. So since then, she rarely went to Uncle Bolt's house, in order to avoid contact with Gao Qingshan.
To say that Gao Qingshan, this young man is still good, he is tall and upright. The family population is also simple, and the parents are also cheerful people. And the conditions of the family are also counted in this Qingshan Village. It's a pity that this quiet is not the other's quiet, the previous quiet, I didn't like him, and I treated him as a brother. Quiet doesn't like him even more now. Because she was older than his mother in both lifetimes combined. The old cow eats the tender grass, and it can't be done quietly. But it seems that this young man still has no heart for her. Alas, juvenile feelings are always poetry!
The next two people didn't speak, and with the help of Gao Qingshan, a strong man, they soon arrived at the door of the house. By this time it was already dark, and the moon had crawled out. Silence finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after a day's walk, her legs were now trembling.
Gao Qingshan saw that he had arrived at the door of the house, so he put down the cart, it was already dark, quiet and a girl, he was not a good boy to enter the house. Then he said to the quiet: "I won't go in, I'll talk about anything in the future, no matter what, we grew up together, even if I can't..., I'm still your brother, isn't it?" ”
Seeing the sincerity he said, Jing Jing also replied with the corners of his mouth crooked: "Brother Qingshan, don't worry, if I really have something I can't do, I will definitely go to you when the time comes." You can't do it if you want to. Who let us grow up together, I treat you as my own brother. ”
Gao Qingshan heard Jing Jing say this, his heart was like drinking Coptis chinensis, he knew that this smart girl was rejecting him in a tactful way. He wanted to express his love for her desperately, but he knew rationally that he couldn't. Because, once some words come out, they will never be able to go back to the past, so it's okay, at least they can be her brothers. "Okay, let's go into the house, I'll go back too, if I don't go back, I'm afraid my father and mother will have to lock me out of the house." As he spoke, he turned around and strode down the slope.
Standing quietly in front of the door, looking at Gao Qingshan's distant back, he shook his head regretfully, what a pure love, what a good teenager. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance with myself!
