Chapter 108: Stay Late at Night
Su Yuan and Su Ma played for a while, they were all sleepy, Qingzhi saw that it was not early, thinking that something was about Su Lan, so he took a small lantern and sent the two dolls back home.
There is really no one in the Su family, but the sheep are all in the sheepfold, Qingzhi asked, Su Ma Su Yuan said that there was a cow lost, and my sister should be looking for a cow.
Qingzhi sighed, feeling a little sorry for the three sisters of the Su family for such an unreliable mother as Aunt Su.
She fetched water and washed the two dolls, spread out the bedding for them to lie down, and carefully added some cow dung to the stove before returning.
Meglo was still working behind the loom, and Aoeda saw him working so hard, even though it was dark, she was too embarrassed to drive him away, and went over to ask him if he wanted to help, thinking that he would finish it early and let him go quickly, so that he could rest.
The two sat side by side, the pedals of the loom making regular sounds, and the shuttle shuttling back and forth, giving people a sense of orderly calm and inexplicably relaxing, and Meglo and Song Qingzhi talked about topics other than looms for the first time when they were alone.
Su Lan found the lost cow and returned home, her mother and sisters were asleep, she boiled a little black tea and drank it herself, and found that Aunt Su didn't fetch water today, and the small bucket of water brought by Su Ma and Su Yuan was about to run out.
She sighed, lifted a large bucket, and walked towards the pond in the darkness of the night.
There was a horse tied to the stake in front of Song Qingzhi's house, and Su Lan casually thought that it was Song Qingzhi's beautiful cousin who came back early.
Ritsu Zichuan has always been cold to Su Lan because of the slander of Qingzhi by the Su family's mother and daughter at the wedding of Aunt Ha's daughter, and Su Lan does not have a very good impression of him.
The horse turned slightly, revealing the red silk on its tail, and the bucket in Su Lan's hand fell on the grass with a 'bang': This is my cousin's horse.
Song Qingzhi is home alone, what is my cousin doing here so late?
She wanted to rush into the yurt and rebuke the two of them loudly, but she found that she had no position or identity to do such a thing.
Stopping her trembling, she walked softly outside the yurt and listened intently.
At first, it was just the rhythmic 'click' of the pedals, and suddenly Meglo asked, "Qingzhi, I heard that you are going back to Lishan after the New Year?" ”
Su Lan found that he called Song Qingzhi by his name.
"At first, I was going to go back after the New Year, but ...... My cousin told me to wait a little longer. ”
"You and your cousin...... Getting along well? ”
"It's okay." Qingzhi didn't want to say more, for fear that the lie would be exposed.
"I think he's smart."
"Thank you." Qingzhi reciprocated: "Your cousins are also cute. ”
Look, this is how the sky talks about death, everyone is peaceful and joyful, polite to each other, and there is no more follow-up.
Song Qingzhi felt that it was really late, and was about to politely ask Meglo to come back tomorrow, but he spoke: "I don't want to stay in Ketuo Mountain anymore. ”
Well, this kind of person who is smarter than the people around him, unwilling to be in a small place, and wants to go to the front line to have a future, is very common.
Qingzhi nodded and said, "Well, it's better to go and see it while you're young." ”
"My father left when he was young, went to Fanguo, and also went to Zizhou, but he still failed to break into the next famous hall, in fact, I don't know if I can ...... it"
Su Lan heard the loneliness and fear in her cousin's words, felt that her heart was caught, and she wanted to rush in to comfort him, but she thought to herself, why did her cousin never say these words to me?
When Song Qingzhi heard Meglo mention his father, his spirit suddenly came, and he asked, "Your father...... What exactly did he go out and do? ”
Meglo shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that I have participated in the army of Zizhou." ”
Isn't the lawyer's house the general's mansion?! Qingzhi immediately took the opportunity to ask questions from east to west, and inquired about the information of the head man from all sides.
Meglo was very happy to see that she was interested in her family, and told her many trivial things, but Qingzhi was bored to listen, but she didn't dare to ask directly about the law family, and couldn't help but yawn a few times.
Meglo immediately apologized: "It's late at night, it's time for me to go." ”
Well? I haven't said anything yet!
Qingzhi hurriedly said, "You can sit down again!" You said that your father had been to the country of Tibet, did he bring any special products when he came back? Have you ever told a story about what happened in the country of Fan? ”
Su Lan heard that Meglo was leaving, and Qingzhi actually said something to stay, and scolded a hundred shameless words in his heart.
However, Aoeda inquired for a while, but still didn't find anything, and Meglo really didn't seem to know anything about what happened back then.
Qingzhi was a little big, yawned a few more times, and said apologetically: "I feel a little sleepy, why don't you continue weaving tomorrow?" ”
Meglo was a little disappointed, but thinking of the long future, he quickly got up and said, "It's me who was negligent, Qingzhi, you should rest early!" I'll come back tomorrow. ”
He quickly went out and stepped on the horse, Qingzhi didn't send more, closed the door and washed his face at will, he was really sleepy, and went to sleep directly.
Su Lan squatted in the shadow of the yurt and found that her cousin looked back at the yurt several times, as if he was reluctant to give up.
Her face turned blue, and her heart hurt as if someone was chopping hard with a big knife for chopping wood.
If you don't do anything, you'll lose your cousin.
The next day, Ritsu Zichuan still didn't come back, Su Lan squeezed a bucket of milk, and went to Ha Da Niang's house before herding the sheep, asking her and Qingzhi to help the Su family make milk bumps.
She knew that in this way, Aunt Ha would be in Song Qingzhi's yurt all day, and her cousin would not have a chance to be alone with Song Qingzhi.
After this arrangement, she drove the sheep up the mountain, the sheep need to eat a lot of grass every day, and the days of herding sheep are endless, and marrying the son of the head man does not have to work so hard.
What's more, she thinks that her cousin will have a greater future in the future, and with her cousin, maybe she can live in a wooden house or even a stone house like the people in the town in the future, Su Lan doesn't want to live in a yurt house anymore.
In the afternoon, she drove the sheep back to the sheepfold in advance, avoided people, walked to the pond to fetch water and came back to boil, and after taking a bath, she braided her hair with extra care, and then went to Song Qingzhi's house.
Meglo is here, and Aunt Ha is really there.
When Aunt Ha saw Su Lan coming, she greeted with a smile: "I made a big pot of braised noodles with Qingzhi, come and eat together!" I'll bring some home to the old man later, I don't have to cook tonight!" ”
Qingzhi also beckoned Su Lan to eat together, and asked, "Where is Su Ma Su Yuan?" ”
"They went with their mother to another pastoral team to visit relatives." Won't be back tonight.
Aunt Ha said enthusiastically: "Then it's just right for you to eat here together!" Save one person from cooking! ”
The table was set, the four of them sat down to eat braised noodles, Su Lan was nervous and couldn't swallow, Qingzhi noticed it and asked, "Are you uncomfortable?" It does seem that the weather is colder these days than the previous days. ”
Su Lan forcibly resisted her hostility towards Qingzhi and smiled at her, "There's nothing uncomfortable. It's really cold these days. ”
Aunt Ha and Meglo talked about the Jockey Club a year ago, and Qingzhi also liked this topic very much, and the three of them kept talking, but Su Lan kept quiet.
