Chapter 66: Encounter Again
Wei Huan rarely let Qu Die cook again, and seeing that the ingredients she had prepared just now were ruined because of Qu Wen's disturbance, she put forward the idea of taking Qu Die and Qu Wanting to her home as guests.
"Huh? But I haven't seen my uncle or aunt...... This ...... "Qu Wanting, the first thing she couldn't slow down when she heard this proposal was Qu Wanting, she had never had friends, let alone the experience of going to someone's house for dinner, and she panicked at the thought of waiting to see Wei Huan's father and mother.
However, Wei Huan's attitude was also very tough, and with Qu Die's persuasion, the three of them finally walked together.
To Qu Die's surprise, Wei Huan and Xie Yuer were in the same village, but Qu Die, a fool in the past, had never seen Wei Huan.
After walking for about a cup of tea, Qu Die saw the gate of Baofeng Village, next door to Otani Village, but the two are very different.
Dagu Village, where the Qu family is located, can be regarded as a relatively poor village in ten miles and eight townships, while Baofeng is very fertile because of Xie Yu'er's father, and the soil and fields here are very fertile, and the area is also wide.
It can be said that Baofeng Village is a modern place where well-off/living people gather.
Entering the village, Qu Die felt the difference between the two villages more and more - it was very lively, the country road was full of harvest stacks on both sides, bunches of grain hung under the walls and beams of earthen bungalows, and there were conversations from time to time and a few naughty children gathering to play.
Looking at everything here, Qu Die couldn't help but feel a little in a trance, although she grew up in the city, her ancestors were still farmers.
When her parents were not yet developed when she was a child, she was like a little earth monkey who followed her grandmother every day, and her grandmother was old, after all, she couldn't compare to her physical strength.
Sometimes when she got dirty, her grandmother would chase after her and yell for her to bathe, until her parents came to pick her up, and she never saw her again.
Now that I think about it, everything is still so clear, the softness/softness that has been buried in the depths of my heart, but unfortunately, everything is too late, my grandmother has died, even if she becomes stronger later, but she can't save a lost life.
"My house is in front, it's almost there!" Wei Huan's excited voice sounded, pulling her back to reality at once.
"It's a lively place." Qu Die's heartfelt appreciation, perhaps because the income of Baofeng Village has always been good, so even if Xie Yu'er and her father pay not a small fee every thirty years, it is still much richer than Otani Village.
"Really? This is not the case in every village. Wei Huan grew up in such an environment since she was a child, so she has become accustomed to this, and she doesn't feel anything special.
Nodding seriously, Qu Wanting couldn't help but echo: "It's really much more lively than our village, Otani Village is generally not so festive, there are only a few people who have a chance, and those who don't have a chance to stay at home are scolded." ”
Especially girls, who are often scolded for trivial things, or beaten badly.
This may be because of poverty, when the harvest season comes, other villages are cheering, but Otani Village is basically complaining, all complaining that this year's harvest is too poor and cannot be sold for a few dollars.
Of course, not the whole village is like this, but it really looks like a slum, and most of the families are still relatively poor.
chatted for a while, and it wasn't until they arrived at Wei Huan's house that they stopped talking.
Walking inside, the layout of Wei Huan's house is basically obvious, a few verdant and upright trees are planted in the front yard, and smoke is rising in the boiler room at this time.
There are several mud walls, and the eaves are made of tiles, which looks very neat and refreshing.
A plainly dressed but beautiful woman suddenly came out of the boiler room, saw Wei Huan's eyes lit up, and quickly greeted her and asked, "You girl is back, where did you go?" and there is no ward. ”
Turning his head, he noticed Qu Die and Qu Wanting who were walking behind him, and they couldn't help but be stunned, but they still asked very decently, "...... these two?" ”
Hearing her mother's inquiry, Wei Huan woke up in shock, and hurriedly pulled the two of them and playfully stuck out her tongue. explained: "Mother, these are my two friends, I brought them to dinner today, what do you do to eat?" I smelled it right at the gate! ”
sniffed vigorously the smell in the air that had not yet dissipated, and Wei Huan's big bright eyes were full of playfulness.
At this point in the middle of the day, Wei Lin came back once, but Wei Yunshi had already dragged Qu Die and a few people into the house first, and made a cup of tea for each of them very gently, and then walked into the kitchen to work.
"Your mother is so gentle." Looking at the back of Wei Yun's departure with envy, Qu Wanting's eyes were full of envy.
Knowing the situation of the Qu family, Wei Huan saw a trace of gloom flashing between Qu Wanting's eyes, and couldn't help but feel distressed, and hurriedly comforted her, "If you like you, come often, our family has always welcomed you!" ”
A bright smile appeared on her face, or she was infected by this smile, and Qu Wanting's sad mood was suddenly swept away.
Because there were guests, Wei Yun's made a few more dishes on the basis of the original two dishes, and the dishes with all colors and aromas made Qu Die and Qu Wanting have a great appetite and a satisfied look at eating.
After the meal, Qu Die and Qu Wanting are not the kind of eldest ladies who don't touch the spring water with their fingers, looking at the clean dishes on the table with only vegetable soup leftovers, even Qu Die, who has always been cheeky, was a little embarrassed.
Smash it, smash it, Qu Die's mouth is still reminiscent of the taste of those few delicacies, like this kind of original rice made of natural organic matter is called real rice!
Accustomed to the taste of modern fast and light meals, Qu Die still likes Wei Huan's mother's craftsmanship.
Sighing, she hurriedly helped to clean up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, but was stopped by a pair of whiter and tender hands.
Raising her head, Qu Die met Wei Yun's eyes full of kindness, and couldn't help but be stunned, and the things in her hand were also taken away by her at this time.
"You're welcome, it was Wei Huan who pulled you to be a guest, how embarrassed am I to ask the guests to work, sit down, I'll get you some more pastries."
Gently brought Qu Die to the chair and sat down, Wei Yun's heart couldn't help but feel a little praise for Qu Die's kind and decent approach, and it was also more certain of Wei Huan's relationship with her.
Knowing that Wei Yun's left with a shallow smile, Qu Die recovered from his stunned state, and somehow remembered his mother in his heart.
But of course it's not Zhao Mei, it's ...... The woman who really gave birth to her but didn't raise her and didn't give birth to her.
When she is in a good mood, she will also smile at herself, just like Wei Yun's, her eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and the corners of her mouth are slightly hooked, which can make people feel good at a glance.
But she rarely laughs, at least most of the time she sees her, she keeps a straight face.
Exhaling a breath, Qu Die felt more and more that she had changed a little, and as the people she came into contact with, the feeling in her heart was also triggered, in the past, she didn't know that she would be such an amorous person.
No longer thinking about this problem, Qu Die directly turned her head to look at Wei Huan, who was talking to Qu Wanting, and asked, "Didn't you say that your father would come back at noon?" Why didn't I see it. ”
Qu Die is still a little curious about Wei Huan's father, after all, he is a lifter, and he can be an official in Beijing, she has always been a little puzzled why Wei Huan and the others still stay in such a small village.
"Ah, my father, he's always busy every day, he said he would come back for dinner, I guess he was entangled in something." With a pout, Wei Huan was obviously not so lively when he talked about his father, and it could be seen that Wei Huan's father must be a very strict person.
Since this is the case, Qu Die didn't ask any more questions, hoping to ask Uncle Wei some academic questions when he has the opportunity one day, so that Qu Tingsheng can give Qu Tingsheng some advice.
After all, it has been more than a month since Qu Tingsheng's departure, but except for a few letters of condolence sent back at the beginning, there has been no news since then, and Qu Die knew that he was also busy with his studies, so he didn't bother much.
But she was still a little nervous about this exam, if it weren't for the fact that she really didn't understand these ancient things, she wouldn't have to be in a hurry.
stayed in the Wei family for a while, and Wei's mother specially ordered Wei Huan to take good care of them, Qu Die took this opportunity to carefully visit the design of her home, and also had a little plan for the structure of the old house.
On the way back, Qu Die was still thinking about this matter, and he was so engrossed that he didn't even notice that Xie Yu'er appeared in front.
However, Xie Yu'er saw the two of them as soon as she looked up, and immediately trotted up with a scream.
"Haqu Butterfly! I haven't been to the town to sell eggs for so long, do you feel too embarrassed because I was kicked away last time, so you don't have the courage to meet people? ”
It's been five or six days since the tailor's shop, but since that day, Xie Yu'er has been idle every day and went to the town to humiliate Qu Die just to get another chance.
Now that they meet on a narrow road, she naturally can't be excited.
And Qu Die was looking down and thinking about the idea of combining ancient houses and modern times, and was instantly dissipated by this sharp cry.
"Why are you again?" Feeling that Xie Yu'er was like a fly that couldn't be shaken off, Qu Die's head grew big the moment she saw her, and she even began to regret why she had saved her in the first place.
"Heh, can you handle it? Miss Ben will go wherever she falls in love, what's your business? Raising her head, as soon as she heard Qu Die's impatient voice, Xie Yu'er felt a little unwilling in her heart.
immediately leaned sideways in front of her path, constantly trying to save a little face for herself.
And Xiong Ling also followed behind Xie Yu'er and stood tall together, without the slightest fear of Qu Die.
"Rain?" Wei Huan, who frowned and came over with a package in his hand, saw this scene, and immediately snorted in surprise.
She and Xie Yu'er are in the same village, and it is impossible for the two of them not to know each other for so many years, but she doesn't know anything about Xie Yu'er's repeated provocation of Qu Die.
