Chapter Twenty-Four: Meeting Again
Qiao Youfu stood in my place, listening to his daughter's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
In the afternoon, Qiao Youfu went to work in the field, his tavern was sold, fortunately there were still two acres of land at home, but he didn't take care of it much during this time, and now that there is no tavern, he naturally has to find something to do.
Qiao You lay on the bed, looking at the light above his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Sister, sister, someone is coming outside, look at it." Qiao Ying ran directly to her side and pointed to the crowd of people outside the window to speak.
The men were dressed in the same clothes, and looked like they were the little servants of wealthy families, some of whom were followed by a few craftsmen.
Qiao You was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembered something, and pulled Qiao Ying and ran out.
Among a group of people, the man in white is particularly obvious, with a handsome appearance, those eyes are like the brightest stars in the world, thin lips are gently pursed, the bridge of the nose is high, and the skin is fair.
She immediately thought of the son of the Pei family in the city, and the old woman of the family said that she would build a house next to their house for the son to live in.
Now it seems that the son of that family should be asking for money.
It's pretty good-looking, and it doesn't look like a fool.
"Sister, you see that brother is so good-looking, are they going to build a house next to our house?" Qiao Ying pointed at Pei Yan with a look of amazement.
She replied lightly, "Hmm." ”
In the crowd, Pei Yan grinned, glanced at Chu Yi next to him, and walked straight towards Qiao You.
There was a light in his eyes, and the first junior high next to him was a little helpless, he didn't know what his son-in-law wanted to do, so he had to follow.
"This girl, are you my neighbor, you are so good-looking." His eyes were crooked, and the words in his mouth carried a bit of childishness.
Standing next to him, Chu Yi continued to write his face, and he knew that his son-in-law would definitely be like this.
Qiao You listened to the young man's words, and saw that he was talking like a child, with a pair of eyes blinking, and with such a handsome face, it was simply the appearance of those little milk dogs in modern times.
However, this person spoke like a child, and it was exactly the same as the rumors said, and he was an idiot.
"Well, I am." Not only your neighbor, but also your fiancée.
Pei Yan smiled even more cheerfully, and reached out to pull Qiao You's sleeve, but she took a step back and dodged it, "Then I can come to play with you in the future, you are so good-looking, I must be very happy to play with you." ”
Qiao You: "......"
Sure enough, it's an idiot.
"Huh." She smiled and said nothing, feeling a little pity in her heart, if such a handsome son was not a fool, I don't know how many girls would follow.
If you are good-looking, you will have fun, and if you are happy emotionally, you will look at your appearance?
Chu Yi on the side noticed her look, took a step forward awkwardly, and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss Qiao, my son-in-law has always been like this, I'm really sorry if I offend you." ”
Hearing her address herself, Qiao You frowned slightly, but after thinking about it, this person is the Pei family's little servant, and the person next to Pei Yan, it is not strange to know her identity.
"It's fine." She waved her hand, naturally not bothering with a fool.
Those craftsmen have already started to build a house in ping-pong, Qiao You didn't pay attention to it, and directly pulled Qiao Ying into the house, telling her to be careful not to provoke these rich people.
On the other side, watching Qiao You leave, Pei Yan's eyes changed a little, as if he had lost his stupid appearance, and got into the carriage, his deep black eyes exuded a light of unknown meaning, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which looked very good.
"Childe, what are you laughing at?" The first year of junior high asked him for some reason.
"You don't understand." Pei Yan glanced at him with disdain, looked at the craftsman who was busy, and said lightly, "Find a way to let grandmother find a few more people, and this house will be built quickly." ”
A daughter-in-law is so good-looking, he must keep an eye on it all the time, otherwise it will be troublesome to let those black people who don't have long eyes go.
"Childe, how many more people do you need, there are already sixteen people here, and a rural house with a small courtyard can be built in half a month." The first year of junior high was quite helpless.
He didn't understand that his son-in-law had only met some girls from the Qiao family twice, except that they were good-looking, which was in line with their salary.
The others are not worthy of their sons at all.
"What are you thinking?" Pei Yan opened his mouth in a cold tone, and his dark eyes stared at Chu Yi beside him unsmoothly, as if he had skewered his thoughts.
As soon as Chu Yi was seen by him, he immediately closed his mouth, and Pei Yan didn't hear what he said clearly.
When he returned to Pei's Mansion in the city, he still asked the old lady Hei Pei who was knocking on the side to mention a few words, and the old lady naturally wanted to take care of her precious grandson, so she directly sent ten more people to help.
In the village, Qiao Youfu came back from outside, listening to the jingling sounds next to him, he only felt very irritable, and he didn't know what the Pei family was doing.
In the past few days, day and night, these individuals have been building houses day and night, as if they are rushing to be reincarnated, and he has not slept well at night for the past few days.
"This Pei family deserves to be a big family, it's only been four days, and this yard is almost covered."
Qiao Youfu stood at the door, looking at the half-built house next to his house, and was surprised in his heart.
The courtyards of the two families are next to each other, and the courtyard of the Pei family looks about the same size as theirs, and it is estimated that there must be three or four houses in it.
Their house was the largest in the village, with four rooms plus a kitchen and yard, as well as a storehouse and hall, but naturally it was not as large as the large courtyard in the city.
I really don't know, why is the son of the Pei family willing to live in the countryside and not want to live in that big house, which is a house that rural people like them can't afford to live in for a lifetime.
"Can you not be happy, nearly thirty people cover day and night." Passing by Qiao Youfu's side, Qiao Youyou said coldly, there was no good face on that white face.
The three or four families around are also like this, and they have been noisy at night for the past few days. They were naturally unhappy in their hearts, and they didn't have a good impression of this noble son who was about to move in.
However, people have money, even if they have any discomfort in their hearts, it is difficult to say it.
They don't dare to offend such people.
Qiao Youfu watched his eldest daughter enter the house indifferently, and touched his nose stupidly, I don't know why, I always feel that Qiao You is not like before these days.
Words and deeds are like an adult, and he knows everything very clearly, not at all like a fourteen-year-old girl.
The next morning, Qiao Youfu went to work in Tiannei as usual, and when it was noon, Qiao You cooked a meal and sent it to her, leaving Qiao You at He Bi's Aunt Li's house to take care of it.
"Then Dad, you can also rest for a while, I'll go back first, Xiaoying is still at home." The bowl in her hand was empty.
Qiao Youfu wiped the corners of his mouth, nodded to him, and asked her to go back and take care of Qiao Ying quickly.
Walking to the creek and washing the dishes and chopsticks, Qiao You walked along the path towards home.
"Yo, little girl, why are you here?"
Behind him, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, Qiao You looked back, and a delicate face suddenly appeared in front of him, and a young man was still followed by him.
It's those two people from last time! She remembered it clearly.
"Why are you here?" Although the clothes of these two people look simple, the material is not something that ordinary people can wear.
Looking at the young man next to him respectfully, he also called him son-in-law, at first glance, he was the son of a rich family, and remembered that the last time he wrote that two people also shared her chicken, he felt a little unhappy inexplicably.
"Naturally, I'm here to play in the mountains and rivers, little girl, what are you doing here with dishes and chopsticks, no, come to catch pheasants to eat." He sneered and followed her directly.
Qiao You glared at her, how embarrassed this person was.
"It's none of your business." She spoke viciously and quickened her pace, as if she didn't want to make contact with these two men.
"Heh, it's none of my business." Pei Yan laughed secretly, and a pair of eyes fell on the little girl's somewhat puffed cheeks in front of her, only feeling cute and tight, and really wanted to hold it in her hand and pinch it twice.
The first year of Chu on the side left Pei Yan's body with some disdain, and the son of Xindao knew that it was none of his business and asked, isn't this embarrassing for himself.
Walking beside the road of the creek, Qiao You was extra careful, there had just been a heavy rain the day before yesterday, and the road was still a little slippery.
She walked in a hurry, and she didn't know what she stepped on, her body suddenly slipped, and she threw herself directly into the river in front of her.
Pei Yan, who was standing beside him, subconsciously reached out and grabbed her hand, and pulled her into his arms, as if he wanted to be a hero to save the beauty.
However, God didn't do what she wanted, Qiao You was dragged back by him, and the first hand next to him was also swaggering to help, who knew that he didn't pay attention to Pei Yan.
So, the two people who had just stood firm fell directly into the water next to them with a "poof", splashing a huge splash, and the first year of junior high on the shore was not spared, and the clothes on the calves were wet.
"The first year of junior high school." Pei Yan was tickled by his angry teeth, and pulled up Qiao You, who was almost falling in the water, and stared at him with cold eyes.
Chu Yi hurriedly pulled the two people up, and didn't say a word in the face of Pei Yan's almost murderous gaze.
Qiao You exhaled heavily, patted the wet clothes on his body, picked up the dishes and chopsticks floating in the water, and walked towards home without saying a word.
"Hey, little girl, don't go." Seeing that she was angry, Pei Yan hurriedly chased after her, he finally came out, and he hadn't said a word yet, where could he let her leave like this.
Hearing his words, Qiao You turned around with a gloomy face.
