Chapter 25: Hello, Star Fruit!
When Yang Chunxiao hurriedly grabbed and reported the news, Qiao An was working hard to write. He had just gotten inspiration, and he wrote very well.
"Second brother, something happened!"
Qiao An, who was writing to the critical point, ignored him, this kid was impulsive and couldn't hold his breath, and it was as if the sky was about to fall.
"Stop, I'll talk to you, it's not a small matter."
Seeing that Qiao An didn't mean to stop, Yang Chunxiao was so anxious that he snatched his pen and threw his hand on the half-written rice paper.
The pen fell on the half-finished article, and the ink splattered everywhere. Qiao An glared at Yang Chunxiao angrily, and hurriedly cleaned up: "What are you doing?" ”
"Aunt Fu said goodbye to my second sister, and the little white face came to my house. If you don't think about it, my sister should be married. ”
The movements of Qiao An's hands stopped suddenly, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Chunxiao, but he didn't see the banter he had envisioned.
So, in a panic, he got up, lifted his legs, and walked out. But when he got to the door, he stopped suddenly, turned back and went back to clean the ink from the paper.
"And you're in the mood to care about your article, Joan, are you stupid?" Yang Chunxiao snatched the article in front of him and couldn't bear to tear it, and finally smashed it Qiao An: "My mother is very satisfied with that little white face, you are not in a hurry now, don't blame me for not helping you in the future." ”
Yang Chunxiao was angry and wanted to leave: he had to tell Carambola that the second sister had a very beautiful idea for marriage, and she would definitely not be able to accept blind marriage.
"I'm in a hurry!" Qiao An grabbed Chunxiao: "I need your help, and only you can help with this." ”
Yang Chunxiao looked at Qiao An puzzled: "What can I help?" My father and mother can't listen to me, and I don't have the ability to convince your mother to propose. ”
Qiao An gave him a disdainful look, poked his index finger in the head and said, "The brain has to be used, otherwise it will be dull." ”
Yang Chunxiao glared at him and glared at him fiercely.
"I can't convince my father and mother now, let alone sway your father. But one person can do it! ”
"Who?"
Qiao An raised her eyebrows and smiled, and spit out two words lightly on her lips: "Zhou family!" ”
"Aunt Fu's mother's family, the Zhou family? The Zhou family where Zhou Xiaowei is located? ”
Qiao An nodded, and Yang Chunxiao immediately rewarded him with big white eyes: "Crazy!" Aunt Fu is very satisfied with my sister, although Zhou Xiaowei has never met my sister, but his enthusiasm for this family business is also very high. You might as well expect your mother to agree to my sister's entry tomorrow if they are not happy. ”
Qiao An looked at Yang Chunxiao helplessly, and whispered something in his ear.
Yang Chunxiao listened, and slowly became excited, and when he finished listening, the whole person was in a state of high morale: "Second brother, don't worry, I will definitely be able to handle this matter." ”
Joan patted him on the shoulder trustingly: "My lifelong happiness is entrusted to you." ”
Yang Chunxiao was slapped like this, as if the prosperity of the family and country was on his shoulders. He nodded solemnly and promised, "Don't worry." ”
After Chunxiao left, Qiao An bent down to pick up the article that had been crumpled out of shape, shook his head and sighed lightly, laid out a new piece of paper, picked up the pen and ink and continued to do learning.
After the article was finished, he carefully checked and revised it twice, and only after making sure that there was nothing to change before he stopped reading the book.
On this day, when he was still studying, he put down the book when he was really sleepy.
Before going to bed, he habitually went out and looked in the direction of the star fruit. Even if you can't see anything, you can see happiness in your eyes.
"Star fruit, I'm working so hard, you must be reluctant to let me fail, right?"
"Star fruit, you said you would wait for me, I believe you!"
At the same time, star fruit is hiding in the stove room to make medicine shoes for Joan.
The comfort cotton cloth is repeatedly soaked and boiled for five days in a carefully prepared medicinal broth, and then smoked with aromatic flowers such as gardenias, roses, lilies, etc., to remove the odor. This has been repeated several times, and the fabric has medicinal properties but no medicinal taste.
The carambola was sweet with every stitch and thread, the firelight made her little face red, and her forehead was even hotter and sweaty, and sweat dripped on the soles of her shoes, and the star fruit hurriedly wiped it off with her hands.
"Sweat falls on it, do you love cleanliness so much, will you dislike the smell of sweat?"
Looking down at his work, looking at the crooked stitches, the star fruit pouted and sighed: "I really have no attainments in needlework, I do it so ugly, will you refuse to wear it?" ”
Saying that, he snorted again, took the needle and continued to poke the shoe: "If you dare to dislike it, I will never do it for you again!" ”
Thinking of the stupid appearance of squatting in the wheat field and carding shoe prints, the star fruit snorted and laughed: "You can't dislike it, I have done it, I have to wear it." ”
That day, she stayed up until the end of her life, and when she couldn't stay up anymore, she carefully hid her shoes, stretched her waist and went back to the house to sleep.
When she walked to the courtyard, she couldn't help but look in the direction where Qiao An was, although she couldn't see anything, and the corners of her lips unconsciously smiled.
"Good dreams, Joan!"
Yang Cui's pickles have been selling well recently, and customers have basically come to the door as soon as the stall opens. Five pots of pickled vegetables can be sold out before noon.
On this day, she discussed with star fruit with a smile: "While the business is good and the price is right, let's move a little more to the town." ”
Star fruit was holding a multigrain nest to gnaw, and when she heard this, she looked up at her: "I can carry two more pots, and no matter how much I can't carry it, I will definitely not be able to carry it." ”
"I can carry two more pots."
The star fruit ate the nest head, drank the porridge and went to help the basket: "There must be eight pots here, can it be sold out?" ”
"It's okay, I'll carry it back if I can't sell it out."
Star fruit didn't say anything more, squatted down to carry the back basket, the first time I didn't carry it, I gritted my teeth when I tried again, and finally carried it.
Her shoulder straps hurt her shoulders, and she put her hands on them and strode away.
Yang Cui hurriedly followed, she was also struggling to carry it, but she still had a quiet smile on her face: "When this batch of pickles is sold, we will be able to repay Qiao An and the second uncle's money." ”
The two sisters bent over the basket, but they still walked and smiled along the way: "The pickle business is easy to do, and Chunxiao's tuition fee will be settled." As long as he is willing to work hard, he will definitely have a future in the future. ”
"yes, the days are getting more and more rushed."
"Well, when the time comes, find you a good son-in-law, let him help you pickle vegetables and help you do the pickle business."
Yang Cui didn't watch out and was teased by star fruit again, her face was so ashamed that she blushed, and she raised her hand to hit: "You little hoof, I'll tear your mouth apart." ”
Star fruit was so frightened that she ran away, and was pressed by the heavy back basket, and she stumbled under her feet and almost fell. Yang Cui looked straight at it and grinned. Carambola turned around to tease her, pretending to be in pain and holding her waist, and said with a crying voice: "I've twisted my waist, and you still laugh at me." ”
Yang Cui was so frightened that she came to pick up her back basket: "Quickly put the back basket down, I'll take a look at ......"
"Kidding you!" The star fruit laughed, carried the basket and ran.
Yang Cui was tricked and chased after the star fruit to fight.
The morning sun was rising, and the red and golden light illuminated the way forward for the two sisters, and the breeze blew through them, blowing away the sweat from their foreheads and carrying their laughter far and wide.
As soon as the star fruit stall was set up, a young man came to buy vegetables. She said yes to him, but he still looked left and right and refused to give money.
Just opened and met someone who ate overlord meals?
Carambola rolled her eyes, looked at him with a smile and said, "You are the first customer today, come, I'll give you some." ”
As he spoke, he took the dish and pretended to add it to it.
The guy understood, and his face turned red. He hurriedly touched the money and gave it to the star fruit, looked around again and then withdrew his gaze in disappointment, and took the pickles to leave.
After only taking two steps, he turned back again, and after being embarrassed for a long time, he still opened his mouth and asked, "What about the girl who sold vegetables a few days ago?" Why didn't she come? ”
Carambola couldn't help but look at the person in front of her: she was tall, her facial features were upright, and her face should be a simple and honest person.
The young man was looked at uncomfortably, twisted his body twice and wanted to leave, and waited for the star fruit to answer: "She won't come in the future?" ”
Carambola snickered in her heart and deliberately made it bad: "Well, I shouldn't be here!" ”
Like my sister, you have to take action and sincerity. I coaxed her if I wanted to buy two catties of vegetables, but this is not good!
As soon as Yang Cui came back from the thatched house, she saw star fruit looking at the back of a young man and smiling evilly. She glanced at it twice, recognized Zhang Cun, who always came to buy pickles, and smiled and elbowed star fruit: "He offended you, you watched him smile so yin, what did you hold back?" ”
"That's it? There's a story, sister......"
The long tail note was meaningful, and Yang Cui slapped her on the back in annoyance: "I know how to make fun of people all day long." If you have leisure, you might as well think more about yourself, that Zhou Xiaowei can ......"
Realizing that she had missed her mouth, Yang Cui hurriedly closed her mouth and turned her back to tidy up the stall.
Carambola had already sensed that something was wrong, turned to Yang Cui and looked at her and asked, "Who is Zhou Xiaowei, and what does it have to do with me?" ”
"It's not early, you hurry back to the pharmacy, it's too late, Uncle Qiao is going to talk about you."
"Sister, that's a big deal, don't be a child's play!" She looked at Yang Cui stubbornly, and there was pleading in her eyes.
Yang Cui and Carambola looked at each other for a long time, but in the end they couldn't bear it, and told her the truth, and persuaded her: "Daddy won't hurt you, don't mess around." I've also seen Zhou Xiaowei, a very nice young man. ”
Carambola lowered her head and was silent, Yang Cui couldn't see her eyes clearly, and she couldn't see her face clearly.
"Momo, you don't like Joan, do you. For so long, she has been avoiding him and avoiding him, you must not have liked him, and you will never like him, right? ”
Carambola suddenly looked up and smiled at her sister, and the smile lasted only a moment before she began to feel bitter.
"I'll go first, sister."
The vivid and dazzling person's back began to be sad and haggard, Yang Cui stood in place and watched, and his heart swelled.
You're in love with him, and you're probably already in love with him. But Taotao, we can't afford it, and the Qiao family doesn't allow it, so forget it!
Star fruit's heart began to clog, she walked all the way, and when she saw Qiao's pharmacy, and when she saw Qiao Kangcheng busy at the counter, tears almost fell: Uncle Qiao, you give me some time, I work so hard, I will definitely impress you.
She hid in the corner to adjust her mood, pulled the corners of her lips with her hands and smiled and laughed, and finally entered the shop full of energy after she was in good spirits, and happily greeted everyone.
Qiao Kangcheng beckoned to her with a smile, and when she approached, he introduced her: "This is Zhou Xiaowei, I will be in charge of the pharmacy with you in the future, and you will get along well." ”
The young man on the side saw the star fruit, his eyes lit up, he stood in front of her upright, nodded and smiled: "Hello, star fruit!" ”
