Looking at Fang Gang's back, Zhao Xiuqin couldn't help but think of what happened to Fang Tian before, the children were angry with themselves for the sake of marriage, and they didn't understand their hard work at all, they really created evil, and they didn't know if they owed them a lot of debts in their previous life and didn't pay them off, otherwise why would they torture themselves so much?

The more Zhao Xiuqin thought about it, the more angry she felt, she didn't even want to wash the dishes that should be washed for dinner, and it happened that Fang Tian was standing in the flower garden, and she shouted to her to come over and wash the vegetables.

Fang Tian could feel the anger in his mother's heart at this moment, so he didn't refuse.

"Mother, don't be angry with your brother, you also know your brother's temper, just like my father, he is very stubborn, and he will definitely not let go of what he decides."

Zhao Xiuqin is also worried about this: "Alas, why is your brother so stubborn, if he loosens his mouth and marries someone else's girl, why would there be such a restless thing in our family, it is really a sin, he is making such a trouble, I really don't know what to do." ”

Fang Tian said tentatively: "Or we agree with his idea, you see that he has always been honest and has never fought for anything, and now he has finally opened his mind and wants to be willful, we follow his temper like this, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not get sick, and then he will be in trouble." ”

"But that Ah Xiu's background—"

Without waiting for Zhao Xiuqin to finish speaking, Fang Tian interrupted her words, and her eyes lit up and said: "It's just the food and drink for two people, mother, do you think about it, your daughter is the one who is going to do big things now, can't I afford to support the two of them, although our family is not very rich now, but there is still a little money." ”

Speaking of which, it's just a matter of money, Zhao Xiuqin's heart moved, but she still had doubts.

"I think mother, kiss you, the reason why you are so hesitant is because you haven't seen Miss Axiu with your own eyes, and you don't know what her real character is, why don't we go to the town tomorrow to see that Axiu girl?"

Fang Tian successfully said that Zhao Xiuqin was moved, after all, she is a mother, and she always thinks that her children can live happily for a lifetime, Fang Gang insists on marrying A Xiu to enter the door, presumably A Xiu does have some very likable advantages, no matter what others say, these things are always better than seeing is believing.

Zhao Xiuqin nodded: "Then let's go to the town tomorrow to see that Ah Xiu girl, and by the way, take a look at the rouge shop and house you bought. ”

The matter was finalized, and the next morning, Fang Tian got up early, went to his brother to inquire about the place where Miss Axiu sold women's red products and set up a stall on weekdays, and was ready to take his mother to Zhenshan.

Fang Gang suddenly stopped her and stuffed something into her hand, she opened her palm and saw that it was the handkerchief that Ah Xiu used to help bandage the wound when Fang Gang accidentally fell that day, which had been washed and cleaned, and was neatly folded in Fang Tian's palm.

Fang Gang, a tall man of more than 1.8 meters, has always been careless, and now he treats a handkerchief like this, obviously he really takes Ah Xiu to heart.

Fang Tian's complicated gaze made Fang Gang feel a little uncomfortable, rubbed his face and said: "This handkerchief belongs to Miss Axiu, I accidentally fell that day and it was a wound she helped me deal with, this handkerchief should have been returned to her a long time ago, but because of the injury in the past two days, it was difficult to move, so it was delayed." Sister, since you are going to see her in the town today, you can help me return the veil to her. ”

It happened that Zhao Xiuqin stepped out of the house after she was ready, and when she saw the two brothers and sisters at the door whispering, she raised her eyebrows.

Fang Gang was very worried, so he instructed Fang Tian again: "Miss Axiu has always been timid, and there is no one around to rely on, you and your mother go to see her, don't scare her, if your mother embarrasses Miss Axiu, you have to help her, do you understand what I mean?" ”

Over there, Zhao Xiuqin was already urging, Fang Tian said a word to his brother to understand, and hurried over there.

"I didn't see that your brother, a rough man, can still be careful." Zhao Xiuqin sighed.

Fang Tian raised the clean and neat handkerchief in his hand, and couldn't help but smile: "People will always change, and they will become even more thorough in front of the person they like, obviously my brother really takes Miss Axiu to heart, mother, don't embarrass her too much." ”

Zhao Xiuqin rolled her eyes and patted Fang Tian lightly: "What do you think of your mother and me, am I the kind of vicious woman who will make things difficult for others?" ”

Fang Tian shook his head again and again, for fear that Zhao Xiuqin would be angry and give himself a beating.

On the other hand, Ah Xiu didn't know that he was being remembered at all.

A customer at the stall took a fancy to a delicate handkerchief she had put out, held it in her hand and played with it carefully for a while, and liked it very much, so he asked her, "Boss, how do you sell this handkerchief?" ”

Ah Xiu's eyes stared straight in a certain direction in the distance, as if she was distracted, and she didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were straight, and the words of the guest asking for the price fell in her ears, like a gust of wind coming out of her left ear and out of her right ear, and she didn't pay attention to it at all, let alone go back.

The mother-in-law in the stall next door couldn't stand it anymore and helped to tell the price, which calmed down the incident.

When the guest bought the handkerchief and put it in front of Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu came back to his senses.

The mother-in-law who sold vegetables at the stall next door squinted at her and smiled: "What's going on with you girl this day, always absent-minded, just now the guest asked you the price of the handkerchief several times, you didn't hear it, fortunately, the old woman I have been setting up a stall next door to you for a long time and know the price to help you say, otherwise a good business, but it will be gone." ”

Ah Xiu put the money in her wallet and looked at her mother-in-law with gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, mother-in-law for helping me." ”

"You've been absent-minded for the past two days, are you sick, or if you're feeling unwell, do you want to go to the hospital to take a look, I can help you watch this old woman for a while, you just come back early."

Ah Xiu shook her head with a smile and said no, not because she was afraid that her mother-in-law in the stall next door would lose her family's business money, but that she really didn't need to go to the hospital: "Mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me, I'm in good health." ”

Since there is nothing wrong with her body, why is she always absent-minded for the past two days, as if she is not in a state of absence, her mother-in-law looked puzzled, looked at Ah Xiu's expression and was silent for a moment, and finally remembered the key point of the matter.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen that young man who came to help you in days, where has he gone? Why don't I help you now? ”

Ah Xiu's heart skipped a beat, and the tips of her ears were stained with crimson color: "Brother Fang's brother accidentally fell and injured his leg when he helped carry the goods a few days ago, and now he probably stays at home to bandage his wounds, the injury was quite serious at that time, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to walk for several days, where can I still get out." ”

When Ah Xiu talked about Fang Gang, she blurted out the words without thinking about it, it was obvious that the other party had just a little thought, her mother-in-law had lived for most of her life, and she didn't dare to say it if she read countless people, but she still understood the thoughts of young men and women, so she was a person from the past.

The mother-in-law's wrinkled face was full of a little smile, and she joked with a smile: "No wonder our Ah Xiu has been sullen and absent-minded for a while now, it turns out that the kid was accidentally injured and couldn't go out, Ah Xiu was worried about him." ”

"Mother-in-law, don't talk nonsense." Ah Xiu's face was shy, but her heart sank.

She does have some thoughts about the other party, maybe that is the love that the old people often talk about, she once gave birth to the idea of marrying Fang Gang, and then staying together for the rest of her life, but when she returned to her deserted and dilapidated home, that thought was like the clouds on the horizon being blown away by a breeze.

The conditions in her own family are too difficult, if she is with Fang Gang, I am afraid that it will drag her down, she is a gentle and understanding person, so she naturally does not want to embarrass Fang Gang.

The stall owner of the vegetable stall next door to Ah Xiu is surnamed Sun, and Ah Xiu is of the same village and clan, so he can be regarded as having watched Ah Xiu grow up with his own eyes, they have always been close and very understanding, she saw Ah Xiu's gaffe with her eyebrows lowered, and naturally knew the girl's thoughts.

couldn't help but sigh, very distressed Ah Xiu: "You are really miserable, if your family background can be a little better, I am afraid that the threshold of your family has already been trampled by the matchmaker who came to propose marriage, why delay until now, there is not even a person who dares to come to the door to propose marriage, and finally fell in love with a young man, and he has to take care of his family background, thinking about whether to marry him, which is also pitiful." ”

Their group of relatives and clansmen, no matter how sorry they feel for Ah Xiu, an orphan girl, they really can't help him, after all, they also have children to raise at home and make ends meet, so they can't help Ah Xiu all their lives.

Maybe she was too worried, or maybe the wind in the autumn was too cold, Granny He's chest was stuffy and her throat was itchy, and she began to cough heavily.

Ah Xiu was distressed when she saw it on the side, and it happened that there were no guests at the stall at this time, so she went to the stall at Grandma He's house, and half-squatted down to pat her on the back.

When Fang Tian brought Zhao Xiuqin over, he happened to bump into such a scene.

Ah Xiu's kindness made Fang Tian's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but praise: "I think my brother's vision seems to be good, mother, look at that Ah Xiu girl, seeing the old woman in the stall next door sick and coughing, I feel unbearable, and I am willing to temporarily leave the stall to pat others on the back, this kind of behavior is not something that ordinary girls will do." ”

She paused, and added in order to compliment Ah Xiu: "Even if it's me, I won't necessarily do it, Ah Xiu girl is really kind." ”

Zhao Xiuqin's eyes were complicated, she stopped Fang Tian, took her to hide in a corner that Ah Xiu would never notice, and secretly observed.

Zhao Xiuqin's reaction attitude was obviously a good impression of Ah Xiu, Fang Tian smiled and said: "I don't think Miss Ah Xiu's behavior is definitely not pretending to deal with us, you think, mother, she wouldn't know that we would come to see her today, and she has never seen us before, and the scene we are secretly seeing now is obviously her nature." ”

Zhao Xiuqin was upset when she heard this, turned her head and glared at Fang Tian and said, "As long as you talk a lot, be quiet, and let's observe again." ”

Because of the relatively long distance between them, Fang Tian and Zhao Xiuqin could only barely see Ah Xiu and Granny He's demeanor and movements, and could not distinguish their voices on the noisy street.

But judging from the unadulterated smiles on their skins, they must have said something very happy.

Zhao Xiuqin's heart moved, turned her head to Fang Tian and said, "Didn't your brother give you a handkerchief when we went out, and now you go over and return the handkerchief to the girl, I want to see how she reacts." ”
