Day after day, the chickens in Qianjia Village croak on time every day, and the dogs that are woken up will roar and bark like crazy, chasing the crowing roosters from the head of the village to the end of the village.

Qian Qianqian didn't care about the mess of chickens and dogs, and stood in the courtyard carrying two buckets of water and shouted into the house: "General Xiao——"

As soon as the sound of "clanging" in the room stopped, and after a while, a corner of the window was lifted, revealing a resolute and handsome face.

On Xiao Mohan's handsome face, a pair of eyes were always serious and silent, he just glanced at the bucket in Qian Qianqian's hand, and a layer of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

"Put the bucket there."

"Don't." Qian Qianqian's face was smiling, her tender white face was almost transparent in the sun, and it was as clean as a piece of flawless jade. She put her hand in front of her forehead, and her face hid in the shade, her red lips darkened, and she looked particularly good: "It hasn't rained in the village for a long time, and the vegetable garden in Aunt Liu'er's backyard is almost barren, and you have to pour two more buckets of water after watering, if you want to help me, go and help me carry two buckets." ”

The two buckets of water are full, and they have to be carried smoothly so that the water inside will not sway out, Qian Qianqian's lifting of two buckets is already the limit, and there is a man in the house, of course, you have to use it.

Xiao Mohan glanced at her, didn't say a word, and then the window was closed with a bang. Qian Qianqian was not in a hurry, she just stood leisurely in the courtyard, and after a while, the closed door was opened, and Xiao Mohan walked out of it with a body of sawdust.

He passed in front of her, picked up two buckets of water, and carried them to the vegetable garden with almost no pause, as easily as carrying two chickens.

Qian Qianqian, who was so tired that she was alive, was dumbfounded, and secretly sighed that it was really a man's strength.

He then brought two more buckets over and helped them finish watering together, only then did he slightly disagree: "No matter how strong you are, you are also a woman, so you will do less of this kind of tiring and heavy work." ”

What do you do when you don't want to argue with people? Just go along with him.

Qian Qianqian said kindly: "What General Xiao said is true. ”

Xiao Mohan frowned: "Don't perfunctory me." ”

In the future, he will often be away from her, and if she doesn't care about herself, she doesn't know what to toss herself into.

Xiao Mohan was worried, but Qian Qianqian didn't think so: "How can you be perfunctory to the general?" But I do have something to do now, and it's time to pack up and head back to town. ”

Xiao Mohan skipped the matter for the time being, put his hands behind his back, and took the lead in leaving the vegetable garden: "Well, you go and pack your baggage, I'll wait for you outside the door." ”

Qian Qianqian looked confused, stepped forward and followed him in a few steps, and said euphemistically: "I've been back and forth from Qianjia Village many times, I just need to go back by myself, and I don't need General Xiao to escort ......."

Before she finished speaking, Qian Qianqian only felt a chill rise around her, strange, how could she feel cold on a hot day?

Qian Qianqian rubbed her arms, didn't pay attention to the front, and suddenly slammed into Xiao Mohan's back, the tip of her nose hurt, and tears fell suddenly.

The person in front didn't look back, seemed to be a little injured, and called out in a low mood: "Qian Qianqian." ”

Qian Qianqian covered her nose and said "um", neatly wiped her face from the corners of her eyes, couldn't control the tears left behind, and raised her eyes to look at Xiao Mohan's back like a copper wall, and couldn't help but complain a few words secretly.

The words she complained about were all held in her heart, but Xiao Mohan's words were stabbed like a knife.

"Am I unsightly or something? You're going to hide me from anyone else? ”

His voice was as cold as an ice cave, and Qian Qianqian felt the chill on her body even more, but no matter how cold it was, it couldn't compare to the pain in her heart, like using a fine needle to pierce the softest place one by one.

Qian Qianqian's toes unconsciously grinded the green weeds on the ground, watching the weeds climb on her pink cloth shoes.

She was silent for a long time, at a loss, and suddenly heard a low sigh from in front of her, helpless.

Immediately, she was embraced into a sturdy embrace.

The smell on his body is the smell of clean soaphorn, and his chest is hard because of his perennial martial arts practice, Qian Qianqian only feels that this embrace is extraordinarily steady.

In the next moment, Qian Qianqian, who realized her thoughts, blushed completely.

Oh, my God! She is just a little girl's body, but her psychology and mind are already the people of her aunt, and she was actually teased by a twenty-year-old boy.

Sin, too sinful.

Qian Qianqian immediately pulled out of Xiao Mohan's arms, and the previous helplessness was gone, and walked in front of him and said frankly: "General Xiao is a general of a country, with a noble status, who dares to say that you can't see anyone?" If you want to go to the town, just go straight to it, if you don't think you will be taken seriously, I will run an errand and let you know in advance, so that the eight big sedan chairs in the yamen will welcome you noisily......"

"I'm going to your house." Xiao Mohan interrupted her chatter.

Qian Qianqian did not refuse: "I don't dare to stop General Xiao if he wants to go, just when you are inspecting the people's situation, I will tell my mother to carry good tea and good food on her back, treat you as a guest, etiquette and thoughtfulness, and I will not leave you three bows and nine knocks, and there is ......"

"Qian Qianqian." A pair of hands grabbed Qian Qianqian's sleeves, Qian Qianqian turned around and shrugged at him, and smiled innocently, Xiao Mohan took a deep breath and spit out two words that were angry and annoyed: "Shut up." ”

Shut up simply, Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, put her fingers on her mouth, and pulled it, signaling that she would not speak.

In the end, Xiao Mohan still went back to the town with Qian Qianqian, but in order to prevent being seen and spread to Qian's mother's ears, he got out of the carriage, Qian Qianqian got off the car and returned to the hot pot restaurant first, and Xiao Mohan got off the car and went to an inn on the opposite street.

On the second floor of the inn, when you open the window, you can see Qian Qianqian in the hot pot restaurant at a glance, and she is angry at this time.

Qian Qianqian was so angry that she jumped to her feet, she was simply torn apart, and green smoke came out of her head.

The people in front of her, her two own sisters, kept the great disaster from her.

She pointed at Qian Fen and Qian Xuan with hatred, and her eyes were red: "Didn't I just not come back for a while, and I made such a big deal and no one told me?" What do you want to do? Do you want to wait until the paper can't hold the fire before you tell me? ”

Qian Fen and Qian Xuan lowered their heads, clenched their mouths, their mouths turned white, and they didn't have a word of argument.

Seeing this appearance, Qian Qianqian was even more angry, pointing to the purse in the half room behind her and said: "No, you don't think about it, you just burn to your eyebrows, and you see that you are going to die, so you have to tell me." ”

God knows that when Qian Qianqian heard that half of the purse in the house was bought by their family at a high price, she almost fainted without coming up in one breath.

Looking at the purse, Qian Fen and Qian Xuan were also too weak to do it, their two fingers were wrapped together and pulled hard, and said cautiously: "Sister, it's not good for us, don't be angry, we will find a way to solve the purse." ”

"Solved, how to solve it?"

Qian Qianqian snorted coldly and poured a basin of cold water on them: "Don't talk about selling to make money, as long as you can earn back the capital, I will hand over all the business in my hand to you to take care of, I don't think it will take you two years to become the richest man in the town, and what kind of hot pot you can grow, as long as you stay at home and embroider your purse." ”

A purse is mostly sold for 30 wen a piece in the town, but the cost price of the purse they bought is 200 wen each.

Two hundred wen can buy seven ordinary purses, and the people in this town, no matter how rich they are, will not waste silver on this kind of thing.

Qian Qianqian sat on the chair, took a sip of the cold tea, but the anger in her chest rose with a net.

Qian Fen and Qian Xuan were so guilty that they shed tears, and they also knew that these purses couldn't even get back the capital, and they didn't blame the eldest sister for speaking badly.

With a crying voice, Qian Fen approached Qian Qianqian weakly, stretched out two fingers and twisted Qian Qianqian's sleeve and said softly: "Sister, it's not good for us, I shouldn't announce that I made the decision to buy the purse without authorization, so don't be angry." ”

"I'm not angry with my purse." Qian Qianqian rubbed her temples, although she was a little sober, the exhaustion all over her body swept in again, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I'm angry that you still haven't told me the truth." ”

"Eldest sister......" Qian Fen and Qian Xuan glanced at each other, hesitating whether to tell the eldest sister about it.

Qian Qianqian let go of her hand and straightened up: "Give you another chance, whose idea is this purse?" ”

"It's ...... mother," the two said together.

"How much money did you spend?" Qian Qianqian held her breath, hoping that the silver she would spend was not very much, but she swept the mountain of purses, and couldn't help but feel frightened.

Qian Fen and Qian Xuan, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to say, Qian Qianqian swept over with a look, and then said: "A purse costs five hundred dollars to calculate the salary for the embroidery girl from the material money." ”

Qian Qianqian gritted her teeth and asked word by word: "In the back, how many purses are there?" ”

"Three, three thousand ......"

Qian Qianqian gasped: "It's really amazing to you." ”

Qian Fen swallowed his saliva, stared at his toes and swallowed slowly: "There is also a textile machine......"

"There is also a rental embroidery ......"

"There's also a lot of fabric piled up......"

"There are still many ...... of gold and silver threads"

Every time she said one more word, the anger in Qian Qianqian's heart increased by a point, but in the end, it suddenly dissipated and turned into a thick powerlessness.

Back home, Qian's mother knew that she was at a loss, hiding in her room and refusing to come out, Qian Qianqian knocked on the door of Qian's mother's room, the two mothers and daughters faced each other, looked at each other for a long time, Qian's mother first retracted her gaze, turned around and walked towards the house.

"I'm not to blame for that." Mother Qian walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, pursed her lips, and felt empty.

Qian Qianqian sat down at the table, she couldn't be gentle with Qian's mother, she suppressed the anger and incomprehension in her heart, and asked lightly: "I don't blame you, who is to blame?" Blame me? Or do you blame the two younger sisters in the family? ”

These words stung Qian Mu all of a sudden, Qian Mu jumped up as if she was injured, her eyes were red for a moment, her fingers trembled and pointed at Qian Qianqian, and she burst out as if she had been suppressed for a long time: "Yes, it's your fault!" ”
