Chapter 11: Poetry, and Distance!
Carambola pushed Qiao Xiu away and squatted down to pick up dustpans and medicinal herbs.
The second girl snorted coldly with her nostrils facing the sky, and went over to hold Aunt Wang's arm: "It's still fair to my aunt, I'll go home for dinner first, and bring leek pancakes to my aunt in the afternoon." ”
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "You can bring it over, I'll wrap you with wontons with shepherd's cabbage, and we'll make wonton soup with pancakes at night." ”
"Okay!"
The second girl agreed crisply, and jumped away. When I got to the door, I looked back at the star fruit, and saw her pitifully squatting on the ground to distribute the medicine, and a gloating smile was picked out at the corner of her lips.
Without you in the eyesore, my second girl is Aunt Wang's only beloved apprentice. Star fruit, the thing you are better than me will be a thing of the past forever.
Star fruit didn't look up at her, people who have a bad heart, their eyes will hurt if they see too much.
Qiao Xiuqiang pulled the star fruit over to take the medicine, and then accompanied her to clean up the mess.
Looking at Qiao Xiu's angry little face, star fruit couldn't help but scratch her round little nose: "I'm not angry, what are you angry about?" We country kids, it's not common to fall? ”
"She did it on purpose, and my mother did it on purpose." The little girl was angry, and her cheeks were bulging.
Star fruit looked at it, and her heart was warm.
"I know Aunt Wang did it on purpose." She peeked in the direction of Aunt Wang and said with a smile: "She is still willing to scold me and be angry with me, I am very happy." If she is willing to punish me, there will be a time to lose her anger. If you really don't want to look at me, I should really cry. ”
"Qiao Xiu, come over for dinner."
Aunt Wang called her, but Qiao Xiu refused to go over, and wanted to fight side by side with star fruit.
Carambola poked her forehead with her index finger: "Are you helping me or harming me?" I wrapped your second brother to kidnap people yesterday, and today I wrapped you against my mother? Go, don't get in my way. ”
"Then you can go back to eat first, it's not early."
Where would she dare to go home?
Carambola smiled mysteriously at Qiao Xiu, and whispered in her ear: "Er Ya is right, I just make a bitter trick." I'm not going back to eat today, I'm going to make Aunt Wang feel sorry. ”
Qiao Xiu gave her a treacherous look, and whispered, "I know, I'll help you." ”
When Aunt Wang and Qiao Xiu came over after eating, the star fruit had already cleaned up the yard and made a list of medicinal materials in short supply.
Qiao Xiu secretly stuffed her with a steamed bun, squeezed her eyebrows and said, "You hide behind and eat, I promise not to let my mother find out." ”
The black multigrain steamed buns, star fruit is held in the palm of the hand, like a treasure.
"Embroidered ......"
"Go, I'll help you get in the way."
Qiao Xiu pushed the star fruit into the warehouse and closed the door with a bang.
After eating the star fruit, Qiao Xiu hurriedly poured water for her. The steamed buns are dry, and if you don't drink some thin ones, your throat will be uncomfortable.
Aunt Wang coughed dryly, but star fruit didn't dare to drink water, so she hurried to work in the courtyard.
At noon, the sun is so hot that it can burn human skin, but it is also the best time to step on sulforaphane seeds. The pods are brittle and break open when stepped on, and the sun is just right to dry the seeds.
The star fruit jumped and stepped in the courtyard, and after a while, her back was soaked with sweat, and her little face was burning hot.
Aunt Wang looked at it, opened her mouth, didn't speak after all, turned around and went into the house to weigh the medicinal herbs.
When I came out again, I saw a sweaty star fruit cutting Chen Ai. She sighed and turned to go back to the house.
Qiao Xiu hurriedly took her elbow and slapped the star fruit: "Go and apologize, don't you see that my mother can't open her mouth?" ”
The star fruit was so frightened that she cut her hand, gasped, threw the knife aside and pressed the wound with her hand.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Qiao Xiu was so guilty that she was about to cry, and shouted at her mother: "Mother, come over with the medicine, I scolded Sister Carambola, causing her to cut off her hand." ”
Cut off your hand?
The corners of the carambola's mouth twitched.
Aunt Wang, who had just crossed the threshold with her front foot, was startled, turned around and rushed over.
Seeing that the star fruit only cut her index finger, Aunt Wang glared at Qiao Xiu fiercely, but she didn't push the star fruit away, and pulled her to carefully treat the wound.
"It's hot, and the wound is not easy to heal, so don't get wet recently."
Star fruit nodded obediently: "It's okay, wear gloves when washing medicine, don't delay work." ”
Aunt Wang looked at her fixedly, the star fruit was hairy, and she took a knife and went to cut Chen Ai.
"Don't cut it, you come with me."
Carambola felt a sigh in her heart again, and sat on the stool and refused to get up. Qiao Xiu stood in front of the star fruit, straightened his waist and said, "You promised my brother, you can't go back on your word." ”
Aunt Wang glanced at her and looked at the star fruit: "Come with me." ”
Knowing that she couldn't hide, Carambola followed tremblingly.
Aunt Wang brought the food to the star fruit and motioned for her to sit down and eat: "Can you eat a dry steamed bun?" Eat first, and after eating, let's talk about it. ”
Where does star fruit dare to sit? She knelt upright in front of Aunt Wang and said sincerely: "Auntie, ...... yesterday"
"Eat first, even if there is a big event, you have to fill your stomach first."
Star fruit was actually in no mood to eat it, but it was not good to disobey Aunt Wang, so I had to get up and eat a bowl.
Aunt Wang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, then pulled the star fruit to sit down, sighed and said, "Yesterday's incident, I know it's no wonder you." I know what I have born, and the beast is stronger than the ox, and I will not look back when I recognize it. If you don't get caught in the middle, he can still make a fuss. ”
Carambola lowered her head and didn't speak, Qiao An must have said the truth, in order to excuse her, maybe he said that he forcibly pulled her.
Aunt Wang sighed and looked at the carambola's eyes seriously: "You are a good girl, but we only have the fate of master and apprentice." ”
"Auntie, I really don't think about Second Brother Qiao, I know my catties."
"What's not a pound? Your Yang family is down today, will you be down for the rest of your life? Don't say anything about it, just look at your star fruit's sample, and it will never be broken for a lifetime. ”
Carambola was full of surprise, and looked at Aunt Wang puzzled: It's not that she looks down on me, but she is willing to take care of me, why is she so opposed to Qiao An liking me?
"The problem is not you, but Joan is too concerned about you. Yang Cui had an accident, Qiao An didn't go to the private school for three days, and bumped into your father who was going to go up the mountain to hunt, and he didn't even give his second uncle food money, so he stubbornly wanted to go up the mountain together.
In order to help you, I went to scare the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, kidnapped the Li brothers, and went to the county school to make trouble.
Star fruit, he has to be stumped by these miscellaneous things all the time, when will he be admitted to the show and then be admitted to the lifter? If he really made a mess for these idle things, how could he have a chance to go on a career path? ”
Aunt Wang sighed, and her expression became firm: "If he is not a good person, it will be okay, and marrying a daughter-in-law An An Shengsheng can be regarded as a harmonious and beautiful life." He is biased, he has a good chance to go on an official career, and he himself has vowed to take the examination to get ahead.
I really let him mess around, he can take care of all the chores of your Yang family, and he can leave everything behind to help your family live a good life first.
Star fruit, Qiao An is dedicated to being good to you, can you really delay him for a lifetime? ”
Carambola didn't know what Qiao An could do for her, but she knew that Qiao An liked her, so she couldn't wait to give her all her heart and liver.
She lowered her head and rubbed the hem of her clothes, and only after a long time did she look up at Aunt Wang and said, "I understand, Auntie, tomorrow, I won't come." ”
Before he finished speaking, tears began to fall.
Carambola hurriedly reached out to wipe her tears, and said with a forced smile: "Let my aunt smile, I just don't want to cry, I don't mean anything else, really." ”
"I didn't say I wouldn't let you come."
Aunt Wang helped the star fruit wipe away her tears, handed her a key and said, "This is the key to the study, and all the medical books and secret recipes of the Qiao family are in it." Give you a month, you look carefully, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me. ”
"Auntie ......"
"From tomorrow, you don't have to dispose of fresh medicine, you can learn how to concoct products by my side. As long as you put your mind to it, you can learn all my skills in a month. ”
Aunt Wang took the hand of the star fruit, and hardened her heart for a long time before she spoke: "If you want, you will go to the town in a month to help Qiao Ping and them look after the shop." If you don't want to, find another way. ”
The meaning is obvious: I will let you learn the skill, on the condition that you stay away from my son and hide out of Joan's reach.
If the star fruit still wants dignity, it should be rejected with righteous words: no matter how depressed my star fruit is, I will never let your Qiao family live; My star fruit is no longer valuable, and my feelings can't be influenced by you.
But what is dignity? If Han Xin is not humiliated by his crotch, how can he have a chance to grow into a general? If the star fruit doesn't take this key, how can the third room of the Yang family take the back road?
What's more, it's not humiliating. While thinking about her son, Aunt Wang can also be regarded as teaching her star fruit, and she is benevolent and righteous.
She reached out and took the key, biting her lower lip and nodding, "I'll go." ”
The star fruit held the key tightly in the palm of her hand, and she didn't notice the pain even when the skin was broken.
"What a good boy." Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief and raised her hand to pat the star fruit on the shoulder.
Originally, it was not light or heavy, but star fruit felt that a thousand catties of weight were suddenly on her shoulders, and Qiao An's splendid future was all bet on her.
Going out of Aunt Wang's house, Qiao Xiu pulled the star fruit into the dark and asked worriedly, "My mother didn't say anything unpleasant, right?" ”
Carambola shook her head, with a shallow smile on her face: "Auntie is very good, gave me the key to the study, and allowed me to go to the shop as an apprentice in a month." ”
Qiao Xiu let go of the hand holding the star fruit, and she asked her with a tiger face, "You agreed?" ”
Star fruit nodded: "It's good to go to the shop, there are patients in Langzhong, I can learn more things in the past." ”
"What about my brother? My brother knelt in the ancestral hall in vain, and lived in a private school for nothing? ”
Carambola turned her head to look into the distance, but the corners of her lips picked out a warm smile: "Joan has been pestering me, I am a girl's family, in fact, it is quite troublesome." I'm gone, he can study with peace of mind, I can study hard, and it's good for everyone! ”
"Star fruit!"
Qiao Xiu shouted at her, and stabbed her with eye knives one after another, seeing that the star fruit was still indifferent, she scolded angrily: "Star fruit, you are the most wolf-hearted thing I have ever seen." My brother fell in love with you because he was blind. ”
Star fruit is still looking into the distance, the sun is shining in the distance, the spring flowers are blooming, and the prosperity and fragrance are peaceful in the distance......
She cried in her heart, and she whispered to Joan in her heart: Joan, I may not have a chance to fall in love with you again; Joan, I'm sorry! Joan, you wait for me, wait for me to stop holding you back, I am willing to work hard to love you, and use everything I have to repay you; Joann......
Qiao Xiu stomped her feet and ran away, and the star fruit knew that she had broken her heart.
The second girl came in with leek pancakes, and stood opposite the star fruit with a smile: "Yo, even Qiao Xiu can't tolerate you?" You haven't practiced this foxy kung fu at home! ”
