Chapter 70: Fleeting
"She went shopping, did you come here for something, didn't your mother and your sister come over a few days ago to explain everything clearly, and now they come to our family Ah Xiu, what else do you have to do, don't you think our girl is not sad enough?"
Granny He's expression was fierce, thinking of Ah Xiu's various abnormalities these days, the more dissatisfied she was with Fang Gang.
She said something cold in Fang Gang's ears, and Fang Gang's mind was almost overwhelmed: "My mother and my sister did come to find Miss Ah Xiu a few days ago, and I also know about this matter, but when they came, they didn't want to make it clear to Miss Ah Xiu, they came to see Miss Ah Xiu." ”
Where did someone who has always been honest and little talk say such a long thing, it is obvious that Fang Gang is really anxious now: "Mother-in-law, you just Miss Axiu is sad, why is she sad, doesn't she know my heart for her, or did my mother and my sister embarrass her when they came to see each other that day, this is also impossible, Mother-in-law, when my mother and my sister went back, they all said that Miss Axiu was very good, let me grasp it, they have no reason to embarrass Miss Axiu?" ”
After saying this series of words, Granny He was dizzy when she heard it, but she still grasped the point, Fang Gang said that the two people in the family were very satisfied with Ah Xiu, and these things were making trouble, maybe it was just a misunderstanding.
Granny He's eyes lit up and asked him, "Then why are you here today?" ”
Fang Gang grabbed his hair a little embarrassed, and replied, "My mother and my sister said that Miss Ah Xiu is the one who is in charge of the family, let me come over today to ask Miss Ah Xiu what she thinks." ”
When Ah Xiu came back, she was holding the things she bought, and the oil paper was wrapped in pastries that her brother liked to be crazy, and she stopped her steps from a distance, showing unbelievable emotions on her face, she was familiar with the tall figure in front of her stall, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Fang?" ”
Fang Gang was originally talking and laughing with Granny He, but when he heard this, he turned his head and smiled at Ah Xiu again.
"Is the place where you accidentally fell last time better, you haven't been out of the house for a few days." Ah Xiuqiang held back the sourness in his heart, and the corners of his lips pulled out a trace of arc.
"The injuries are all healed, and now they are all back to normal." As if to confirm his words, Fang Gang said, jumping up on the spot, "Sister, look at me, I am alive and kicking, and I haven't fallen into the root of the disease." ”
The big stone in his heart was put down, and Ah Xiu felt like his heart was like a handkerchief that he was tightly holding in his hand when he was talking to Fang Tian that day, and he felt like he was about to lose his breath.
"It's good if the injury is healed, thank the Buddha for blessing. Brother Fang, you came over today, do you have anything to say to me? ”
Ah Xiu actually hoped that Fang Gang would say no, or that he was passing by here and didn't come to talk to her, but Fang Gang nodded with a smile, and her heart sank heavily.
"You two young people, if you have any whispers, let's talk about them in another place, now there are people coming and going on the street, and it is not convenient to say anything, how bad it is for others to hear."
Granny He knew Fang Gang's intention, and proposed with a smile.
Mother-in-law said the same, everything should have a decision, otherwise things are always dragging on and it is not a way, Ah Xiuqiang cheered up, pulled Fang Gang and walked to a remote alley.
"If there's anything, just be honest."
When Ah Xiu spoke, her eyes kept staring at the ground, and she didn't raise her head to look at him from beginning to end, although she also paid great attention to etiquette and didn't want to have too much contact with Fang Gang on weekdays, but she was not so alienated from herself.
Fang Gang was originally a little sad, but as soon as his mind turned, he remembered Fang Cai's mother-in-law's instructions to him, saying that Ah Xiu had misunderstood the meaning of his mother and sister, so he suddenly became enlightened.
"Two days ago, my sister and mother came to see you, and when they went back, they all said that Miss Axiu, you are a good girl, and they like you very much, so let me grasp it myself, and today I specially dressed up and asked me to talk to you."
If Fang Gang didn't say it, Ah Xiu really didn't notice that he was dressed and dressed differently than usual, especially the clothes on his body, he was even better than the sons of those families, Ah Xiu frowned, and wondered, could it be clear that he still needed to be so grand?
Fang Gang scratched his hair embarrassedly, looked at Ah Xiu with bright eyes, and the tips of his ears were stained with crimson color: "My sister said, this kind of time, it's called a marriage proposal, let me dress up well to see you, that's why I delayed for so long, originally I got up early today and wanted to come to see you soon, but they didn't let me come out, I heard my mother-in-law say that you are not feeling well today and plan to go back early, fortunately I caught up." ”
The marriage system of the ancients paid attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and the word marriage proposal was unheard of, but Ah Xiu could understand its literal meaning: "Do you want to marry me?" ”
Fang Gang nodded heavily: "I want to marry you and go home." ”
The joy on Ah Xiu's face was fleeting: "Do you know the specific situation of my family, your mother should have told you, my family, there are only three people, there is a mother who is sick and needs to take medicine, and a younger brother who is still young wants to go to school, you want to marry me home?" Are you kidding me? ”
"I don't mean to joke with you, I like you, I want to marry you and go home." Fang Gang is colorful.
In the unbelievable shocked gaze cast by Ah Xiu, he said word by word: "I have already heard what you said, my mother and mother even told me all your life experience clearly in order to persuade me to change my mind, Miss Ah Xiu, I know all your difficulties." ”
Ah Xiu only felt that her nose was sore, and she almost shed tears, since she knew that her life was not easy, and since she knew her difficulties, why did she swear so much here to provoke herself?
"I know Miss Axiu's difficulties, and I also know the advantages of Axiu girl, Axiu girl, you are gentle and kind, good-looking, and your hands are dexterous and diligent-"
Ah Xiu knew all the advantages of her body, at this time she didn't have the patience to listen to Fang Gang praise herself, she interrupted Fang Gang's words sadly, and said: "Do you know that if you marry me alone, it means that you will be responsible for my whole family in the future, and my family's livelihood depends on me alone, if I leave them alone, they won't survive." ”
Fang Gang said as usual that he knew this: "If Miss Axiu ignores the family because of marriage, it will make me dislike it, I know that marrying you means being responsible for your whole family, but I'm not afraid, I have even told my family that when I get married, I will let your mother and your brother move in." ”
Ah Xiu couldn't imagine Fang Gang's words, she asked in a trembling voice: "Will your family be willing to let me do this, is this your own idea or someone else's idea, do you really know what it means to let them move into your house?" ”
"I've discussed it with my family, and everyone has agreed, as for what others say, what does it have to do with us, their mouths grow on them, they like to chew their tongues, just let them go, we don't need to pay attention to those messy things."
Fang Gang said, and a shy expression appeared on his face again: "When I went out, my mother told me, saying that if I can convince you today and let you agree to the marriage of the two of us, she will prepare a dowry tomorrow and find a matchmaker to hire at your house, Miss Axiu, are you willing to marry me?" ”
"Will you marry me?" When Fang Gang said this, he lowered his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, his face showed a similar shy emotion, he was a tall and strong man, it was rare to have such an emotional time, Ah Xiu looked at him, and his heart was full of joy and sorrow.
Whether she is willing to marry him or not, this is also the question she asks herself, she is still a little hesitant, even if Fang Gang has already told her everything in his heart, but Ah Xiu knows how complicated her life experience is, so she asked tentatively again: "Are you really willing to marry me, do you know what I will bring you, if you marry me, you may be very sad in the future, do you want to think about it again, and don't be impulsive first." ”
What Ah Xiu is talking to her now, Zhao Xiuqin has already told him during the time he was at home, and he has said it in more detail, and he has also calmed down and thought about it, so he nodded, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were gentle smiles.
"Miss Axiu, my mother has already told me what you said, I have thought about it carefully, I want to marry you because I really like you, as for whether it will be uncomfortable in the future, I think that is a problem that should be considered later, you see that you have no problem supporting the whole family by yourself now, it makes no sense and I can't afford it, right? I really want to marry you, not impulsively, not because I pity you, I like you want to live with you for the rest of your life. ”
What an honest person Fang Gang is, it is difficult to say two nice words on weekdays, but now that he says so many good words, the words are like honey, enough to see the degree of his intentions, Ah Xiu couldn't help but move his thoughts.
I remembered what Granny He said to herself not long ago, saying that she had a special identity and wanted to fight for the person she liked, after all, she was a young girl, and the days ahead would be long, if she didn't fight for anything now and in the future, everything would take its course, and that day would definitely be uncomfortable.
Ah Xiu raised his eyes and stared at the sky, and secretly said in his heart, I have been trying to survive since I was a child, even if the way of heaven is difficult for me, I have never complained a word, so many years, I just want to be willful once.
Even Fang Gang, who has always been filial and well-behaved, can withstand the pressure of his family and confess to her, so there is no reason for him to take another half step back.
Fang Gang thought that Ah Xiu's silence was because his words were not beautiful enough, and his attitude was not sincere enough, so he couldn't help but show an anxious look, you know, Fang Cai's sweet words were all thought of by him when he was bored at home, if Ah Xiu didn't believe his words, then what should he do?
It is not an exaggeration to say that Fang Gang's heart is now anxious like an ant on a hot pot.
Ah Xiu took a deep breath and held Fang Gang's rough palm with his soft hand.
Fang Gang's head exploded at that time, and it felt as if there was a crackling firecracker in his head, his face suddenly turned red as if he had drunk wine, and he was also stumbling when he spoke: "Ah..... Ah Xiu girl? ”
Seeing Fang Gang's embarrassed appearance, Ah Xiu sneered and laughed, and held his soft hands even harder: "In the future, you won't call me Ah Xiu, just call me Ah Xiu, otherwise it's okay to call Xiu'er, it's closer like that." ”
