Chapter 32: It's Her

“…… Ay! You said that the adults asked us to lead that Zhang Tao up the mountain during the Double Ninth Festival, isn't this embarrassing for us? Our custom here is that only men go up the mountain that day, and women plant dogwoods at home, how can we attract a big girl to go up the mountain that day! ”

"Isn't it, why don't we spend some money and go to a nearby village to find a girl and ask her to take Zhang Tao up the mountain that day?"

"But we can't find the right person for a while! Seeing that the Chung Yeung Festival is coming. ”

"Hey...... You say, why did we adults lead this chapter peach up the mountain that day? ”

"I heard that it's because this Zhang Tao rejected our adult's proposal, isn't our adult unwilling. And it just so happens that on the day of Chongyang, there are adults who want to hold a meeting on the mountain, and when the time comes, not only from our county, but also people from other counties will come over, and when Zhang Tao is led up the mountain, something happens with our adults, and in front of everyone, she can't marry if she doesn't want to. ”

"This girl is also unlucky, and she has been targeted by our adults."

"Shhhh

"You're too careful, it's so remote here, and there's no one, what are you afraid of!"

"Then be careful, otherwise, we will be the unlucky ones then. You have a rest, let's go find someone......"

"I can't rest anymore, let's go find someone quickly."

Zhang Liu stood around the corner, waiting for the two to walk away before slowly walking out. She strung the words of these two people and came to a conclusion: Xing Qinshou has not given up, and he still wants to design Zhang Tao on the day of Chongyang. She rolled her eyes and left the place.

In the blink of an eye, it is the Chung Yeung Festival.

On this day, every family got up early and began to clean the house and yard inside and out. The rich put on new clothes, and the poor put on clean clothes, brought a dogwood purse, picked off the chrysanthemum that they were optimistic about, and put the hairpin on the sideburns. The men go out in groups to pray for blessings, while the women smoke the house with dogwoods at home.

Seeing that the second brother and the younger brother respectively put a chrysanthemum in their ears, Zhang Xing coldly jumped out of the shape of Zhu Bajie wearing flowers, twitched the corners of his mouth, quickly turned around, and went to comb a hanging hair for the eldest sister, and found a chrysanthemum that was not too big to look at the eye and hairpin it for her. took out the bronze mirror again and let her see, "Sister, it's so beautiful!" ”

Zhang Tao stroked her hair, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's the third sister who is skillful." ”

"No matter how clever your hands are, you have to have a good foundation for the eldest sister herself." Zhang Xing pulled her up and asked her to change into a new set of clothes that had been prepared, "This is the latest popular color in the county, I finally grabbed a piece of material, and found someone to make a dress for you, you can try it quickly and see if it is suitable." ”

Looking at her sister's appearance of offering treasures, Zhang Tao was amused and moved, touching the silky fabric, looking at the bright color, Zhang Tao suppressed the liking in her heart, and refused, "Third sister, I have clothes, they are still very new, you can keep these clothes and wear them later." "Her previous clothes are all changed from the old clothes of adults, the colors are all that kind of gray and not a few, she wears it for her younger brothers and sisters when she is small, and she will not add a new dress for a few years, since the third sister sold ginseng, the situation at home is much better, and the third sister will often buy some fabrics for the family, and in the past year or so, she has added 3 sets of clothes. It's something she couldn't have thought of before.

"Eldest sister, this is made according to your size, you can wear it, put this clothes away, when I can wear them, it is estimated that the colors are not bright, isn't this a bad thing."

"What about you? Didn't you make one for yourself? ”

"I have, I can still treat myself badly" Zhang Xing pulled out a set of emerald green dresses from the side.

Zhang Tao saw that she also had it, so she went to change into new clothes with confidence.

"Eldest sister, there will be a while to eat, let's go and water the vegetables in the yard first."

"Okay."

The two talked and laughed in the yard, and after a while they finished pouring out the water.

On a tree not far from their yard, a pair of eyes saw it all.

Grandma Zhang saw Zhang Tao's outfit today, some of the old flowers' eyes lit up, she stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Tao, looked up and down, and laughed, "Tao'er looks good today, her hair is good, and her clothes are good-looking, so she will dress up like this in the future." ”

Zhang Xing coaxed on the side: "Milk, isn't my eldest sister good-looking before?" ”

"It's good-looking, it used to look good, and it's even better today."

Zhang Tao was embarrassed by her grandmother's praise, so she saw Zhang's mother come in. The smile on his face narrowed slightly.

Grandma Zhang also saw Mother Zhang, snorted, pulled Zhang Tao and sat down at the table, Mother Zhang put the bowl in front of Grandma Zhang with some flattery, and hurried out again.

Zhang Xing wiped her face with her sleeve when she saw her go out. You don't have to think about it, you know that you cry again. Since the marriage proposal, Zhang's mother has become more transparent at home. I was careful in everything I did, and I didn't dare to make a sound at the dinner table, I only ate what was in my bowl, and I didn't dare to stretch out my chopsticks to pick up vegetables...... Zhang Xing sometimes couldn't stand it, so when she added a chopstick dish to her, she was flattered and smiled at her, and there was some flattery in her smile.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Xing sighed in her heart, Zhang's mother really responded to the sentence "Poor people must have something to hate". She is the mother of the original body, and one of the original desires is to protect her family. Therefore, even if she is a little cold to some of Zhang's mother's behaviors, she will take good care of her and give her a rich life. As for the rest, then don't think about it.

After eating, Zhang Lin took Zhang Xiaodi to the mountain to participate in the Chongyang Cultural Conference held by Liu Chengyang. Zhang Tao went to do a show, Zhang Xing and Xue Zhongyong took leave today, so they stayed at home and read.

"Sister Tao'er, Sister Tao'er, are you at home?"

Zhang Xing thought in her heart: It's coming!

Zhang Tao put down the show and went to open the door, "Liu'er, why are you here?" Is there anything you want me to do? "Since Zhang Liu deceived her sister's ginseng, she doesn't care about herself, sometimes when she meets her in the village, she also snorts at herself, why did she come to find herself again today? This is a bit like what my sister said, 'Weasel gives New Year's greetings to chickens, and he doesn't have a good heart', Zhang Tao is wary in his heart.

When Zhang Liu saw Zhang Tao's dress today, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes. Zhang Tao actually wore a dress of the same style and color as her today! The most important thing is that she is not as good-looking as Zhang Tao! I'm so angry with her, it's just a matter of hitting the shirt, I haven't bumped into someone yet!

Zhang Xing came out and saw Zhang Liu's face, and her heart was dark, she just saw Zhang Liu go to the ready-to-wear store to make clothes, so she went to make an identical one for her eldest sister. As the saying goes, it's not terrible to hit the shirt, who is ugly and who is embarrassed. Now, Zhang Liu is the ugly one. For a person with a narrow chest who has to compete with others everywhere, it makes her feel more uncomfortable than beating her.

Tut-tut, look at that face, like black grapes.

"Sister Liu'er, your clothes are the same as my eldest sister's, are you also making them in the Hu's ready-to-wear shop in the county? But your hairstyle doesn't look good, it doesn't match your clothes. Zhang Xing was happy to see her change her face from the side, and she didn't forget to poke her with a needle.

Hearing this, Zhang Liu's face became even more distorted.

Just when Zhang Tao thought she was going to beat someone, Zhang Liu actually regained her look, and pulled out a smile, Zhang Tao was alarmed in her heart, this is definitely not normal!

"Sister Tao'er, I came today to invite you to play on the mountain, I heard that the mountain is in Kaiwen, not only the readers from our county came, but also the readers from other counties. I haven't seen so many readers, let's go and see if it's okay, Sister Tao'er, you are so beautiful today, maybe you can meet a good match. "It's a bit of a gritted tooth to meet a good fate.

Zhang Tao lowered his face coldly: "Liu'er! What nonsense are you talking about! Marriage is the life of the parents! How can there be a person who does not respect etiquette and does not abide by the etiquette law, and goes to make a lifelong agreement with others, what kind of heart do you have?! If you make a big fuss in my house again, I'm going to ask Brother Komatsu how he usually teaches you! ”

Zhang Liu was so frightened by her momentum that she took a step back, and then became angry, phew, it sounds good, who are you trying to seduce when you dress up like this? "Sister Tao'er, you misunderstood me, I just said the wrong thing. I'm just curious about what so many people are doing together, so I thought I'd invite you to go and see the excitement together. And Cui'er and Xiaohong in our village have gone, so you can go with me. ”

Zhang Tao was about to refuse, but Zhang Xing pulled her sleeve, "Sister, I'm also curious, let's go and have a look." ”

Zhang Tao looked at her sister like she had a lot of ghost ideas, and she didn't know what she intended to promise Zhang Liu, but she didn't refute it, "Hmm." ”

Zhang Xing said to Zhang Liu, who was happy: "Sister Liu'er, your hairstyle is too ugly, you and my eldest sister are walking together, that picture, tsk, under such a backdrop, even if Sister Liu'er wants to leave a good impression in front of those talents, can't it, isn't it, not to mention, Sister Liu'er, you still want to take the opportunity to find a wishful husband!" Seeing the fire in Zhang Liu's eyes, he still had to hold back, Zhang Xing's heart was indescribably happy, "Sister Liu'er, come, I'll change your style." ”

After speaking, Zhang Liu was not allowed to resist, so he pressed her on the chair, combed her with the same hairstyle as the eldest sister, and also inserted a chrysanthemum on her head.

While Zhang Xing was busy working on Zhang Liu's head, she said to Zhang Tao: "Eldest sister, you go to the back room to change your clothes, let's go up the mountain in a while, although you look good in this dress, it is not easy to walk." ”

Zhang Liu, who originally wanted to go back to change his clothes because of the shirt, gave up this idea, and still laughed in his heart, it was just right to change it, and some people always compared them when they wore it alone.

Zhang Tao, who changed his clothes, Zhang Liu and Zhang Xing, who had made their hair, went out.

The two men who were wandering at the entrance of Zhangjia Village saw the three people out of the village, their eyes swept over the three of them, and finally settled on Zhang Liu: the hairstyle, chrysanthemums, and clothes were all right. That's her. Although they think that the girl next to them is more beautiful, maybe the adults have special tastes.
