Laughter echoed through the dimly lit cabin, some eerie, some harsh. Sandou didn't dare to say Hu Xianxian, but he also showed a slightly dissatisfied look.

"You think I'm laughing at your naivety?" Hu Xianxian asked her with a smile.

"No...... No...... Miss should laugh at me, I don't seem to be doing anything in this way, they will come and carry me over in two days, and they don't care if I'm really sick or not. Miss, what the hell should I do? ”

"Did you tell your mother directly that you don't want to marry your uncle?" Hu Xianxian guessed that her family knew that she didn't want to marry, but she shouldn't have said it directly.

"This ...... How dare I directly oppose what my father and mother arranged? Sandou asked timidly.

"Whether you are married, or your father and mother are married, you don't have a clear attitude yourself, how can you blame them for arranging a marriage that you are not happy with?" Hu Xianxian wanted to probe her tone, and if she didn't insist on it, Hu Xianxian wouldn't help her.

"But my mother's temperament, you don't know, how dare I say something directly?"

"Heh, listening to you say this, in your heart, you are only afraid that your mother will scold you and beat you, and you don't like stuffy babies so much. So what else are you embarrassed about? Live your life according to your mother's arrangement, don't be so greedy to please your mother, and you are reluctant to let go of the stuffy baby. ”

Hu Xianxian turned around and left, leaving Sandou stunned and aggrieved and thinking with tears in her eyes: How did this become her greed? This is to deliberately watch her jokes, deliberately to count her down?

Walking to the door, Hu Xianxian almost collided head-on with a stocky young man. The young man apologized repeatedly, and after Hu Xianxian said "um", he continued to walk forward.

"Brother Sangua, Brother Sangua, are you there? I sent something. When the young man entered, he did not go to the back room, but put his things on the table in the middle of the main room, and turned and went out.

When he called someone, Hu Xianxian turned around, and when he saw his actions, Hu Xianxian was a little curious. See how can the patient not see the patient, just put down the things and leave?

Seeing Hu Xianxian staring at him and walking past her, he smiled embarrassedly. She called out to him: "Wait a minute, you're a stuffy baby?" ”

"I'm ...... Does the girl recognize me? "The stuffy baby has a simple face and wears a shabby coarse cloth shirt.

"I heard that Sandou's incident made you angry, and now they are sick again, why are you still coming to see them?"

Her overly sharp gaze made him a little frightened, and he lowered his head and replied: "I'm either sick with anger, or I can't think about it, and I haven't eaten for several days and fainted while moving goods." It's not that Sandou made me angry, it's just that I can't think about it...... Alas, I came to see that they didn't bring anything good, just some rice flour cake, brown sugar, honey or something. ”

The walls of the north gate are full of shacks, and there are many shadows when the sun shines in. It's just that at this moment, Hu Xianxian felt that the stuffy baby's body was shining with golden light, and all the shadows were gone.

He was so sad that she didn't think about tea and dinner because she wanted to marry someone else regardless of her old love, this is a person who values love. He does not resent them, but excuses them, and he is a tolerant man. He came to see them, but he didn't go into the back room, probably because he didn't want to cause gossip, he was a polite person.

Because he wanted to help him, Hu Xianxian smiled at him. He looked at her warm and clear smile for some reason, and thought that she thought that she thought he talked too much, which made her laugh.

Sanhua, who was sitting not far away, saw them talking, so she came over and asked, "Hey, what are you talking about?" ”

When the stuffy baby saw Sanhua coming, she greeted respectfully: "Sister Sanhua is back?" Your guest is asking me something. ”

"It's not about asking, it's about making friends. Bore, do you have something to do? Let's get busy first, and I'll treat you to a drink another day. Hu Xianxian patted the stuffy baby on the shoulder, and his excessive enthusiasm scared him a little staggering.

Sanhua had a look of disgust on her face, she used to show this kind of look to Hu Xianxian, but she rarely did it later.

"Hey, look at this little mouth, I haven't seen you like this for a long time. Oh, I'm happy today, I want to stay at your house for two days, you won't pick me up, right? Hu Xianxian hooked Sanhua's chin.

Sanhua knew that she didn't pay attention to it, she just started sideways, and she didn't bother to say much. Hu Xianxian sat down with them outside and asked about the specific situation of the stuffy baby.

It turned out that this stuffy baby's family originally opened a rice and grain shop, and life was quite passable, but later his parents died, and he was too young to take care of business, so the shop collapsed. Now he makes a living by carrying goods and selling coolies, and even his ancestors' old house has been mortgaged to others because of business failure.

"Da Niu, come out and come with us to see Sanhua's father." After listening to the stuffy baby, others sighed, but Hu Xianxian didn't say anything. She opened her throat and called out the bull and went to the gate of the city.

Sanhua was able to reluctantly agree to Hu Xianxian coming to her house, just because her father and mother went out of the stall, so she could avoid them. Seeing that Hu Xianxian was going to the place where they were setting up a stall, he hurriedly stopped him.

"Sanhua, I said I would stay at your house for a few days, why am I embarrassed to stay if I don't see your father?"

"You—do you really want to live in my house?"

"Well, just clean up the bed you slept in." He turned his head to Hang Wuyi and said, "Wuyi, you also live with me." You lie down in bed and sleep, just leave a corner for me to meditate. ”

After listening to her arrangement, they were a little unhappy, and she didn't persuade her, anyway, they couldn't change her decision. And the bolt and the big cow were also sullen, they didn't want to see Sanhua's father, Hu Xianxian had to pull them.

When I arrived at the city gate, I saw Sanhua's father and mother stumbling, and Sanhua Niang shouted angrily: "I really can't live this day!" The little ones are disobedient, and the old ones are not sensible......"

"Mother, what are you arguing with your father again?" Seeing them like this, Sanhua walked over quickly to persuade her, she was afraid that Hu Xianxian and they would quarrel with her father and mother.

"What's the noise? It's not that your father said that he was going to retire the old uncle's dowry and made me angry! Who is my uncle? If you dare to return the dowry after accepting him, isn't it clear that you want to go against him? We can't get through it as a family? ”

Sanhua Niang and Sanhua are quite similar, but there are no pockmarks on their faces, if they are not old, they can be regarded as a little beautiful.

Sanhua looked at her father, but her father didn't answer, just sighed. The bolt pulled the big cow to the father of Sanhua and said, "What is the uncle worried about? Let's go, the three of us find a tavern to sit down, and after a drink, there will be no worries. ”

"What to drink? Plug, don't think you're great if you make two bucks! Don't get involved in my family's affairs! Sanhua Niang dragged Sanhua Daddy back, her eyes staring at the bolt.

Da Niu couldn't look at it, and persuaded in a low voice: "Auntie, the plug is a good intention, why do you say that?" ”

"What the hell am I talking about you! Look at you, your head is like a piece of wood, when will you be able to open your mind and earn money?

The plug is smarter than you, the cooking is not as good as yours, and the money is more than yours.

You, don't follow my Sanhua ass all day long, use your brains more to make a lot of money early, it's serious......" Sanhua Niang said the big cow with a pale face, hooked her head and walked away silently.

Sanhua was also so angry that her face was flushed, and she shouted: "I have nothing to do with him, you don't talk to him!" If you dare to talk nonsense, I won't go back to this home. Then, at a trot, he departed.

"Dead girl, if you can't get married, our family doesn't have a backer, why should I worry so much about your younger brothers and sisters? You still dare to talk back to me......" Sanhua Niang yelled at Sanhua's back.

Hang Wuyi and Hu Xianxian laughed, and Sanhua's father noticed the two of them at this time, and he was afraid of embarrassing them again, so he hurriedly went to dissuade Sanhua Niang. Sanhua Niang pushed him and scolded again.

Hu Xianxian glanced at the angry bolt standing next to him and asked him to take Sanhua's father away. The bolt reluctantly went to pull Sanhua's father away, and was scolded by Sanhuaniang again.

There was no one to scold, so Sanhua Niang slapped the table, smashed the bowl, kicked the stool, and the cake stall was about to be lifted by her.

Hu Xianxian clapped his hands and smiled: "Mighty! Tongue battles! Ha, your backers have let you take away! ”

By the north gate, there is a lot of noise and chaos, often this one is noisy, that one is crying, and some idlers are used to watching. Sanhua Niang didn't think that they came to her on purpose, and it wasn't until Hu Xianxian said so that she looked at them.

"What are you talking about? Who are you? Huh...... "Sanhua Niang had seen her before, but she wasn't familiar with her, she glanced at her several times before she recognized it, "Miss Hu?" What are you doing here? ”

"I heard that Sangua and Sandou are sick, come and see." Hu Xianxian smiled and replied softly.

"What's there to see? We poor families, if we are sick, we are sick, and we are waiting to die. They themselves suffered so hard that they got sick, and there was nothing to see. Sanhua Niang didn't give them a good look, but Hu Xianxian smiled and spoke, which made Hang Wuyi want to be angry.

"Auntie, don't say that, who hasn't had a hard life? It's good to get through the hardest years. ”

"You were born to be the eldest lady, do you know why you are bitter? Don't get involved in our poor people's affairs. Sanhua Niang took a rag and wiped it in the basket where the baked cakes were placed, and shook the dirty rag in front of Hu Xianxian.

Hang Wuyi was so angry that he pushed her away, "Do you have long eyes?" The dirt shook on my aunt. ”

"Huh? That's sorry, Miss Hu. This is where you lady should come, let's go. "Sanhua Niang has a black face.

"Miss?" Hu Xianxian was stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. She thought that Sanhua Niang would make all kinds of unreasonable trouble, but she didn't expect Sanhua Niang to block her with the word "eldest lady".

"Aren't you the eldest lady?" Sanhua Niang saw that she was really a little confused, so she crackled and said: "When your grandfather was here, the Hu family was one of the few wealthy families in Lingzhou, and you were born with a golden spoon."

Although your father has been a little depressed in the past few years, you have Hongbin Building to support you, and you have never worried about food and clothing, right?

Later, your father came back, and your brother became a general again, so don't worry about that.

Now, your good friend has become a national teacher, and the Hu family has really become a wealthy family, when have you ever suffered hardship? ”

Hearing Sanhua Niang say this, Hu Xianxian realized that she seem, seems, maybe, and is indeed a genuine eldest lady...... Yes, does she know sorrow? What worries does she have about her father, mother, brother, and husband?

Hu Xianxian also deeply felt that Sanhua Niang was a buried talent, and she could poke people to death when she was scared. How good would it be if she went to be a diplomatic envoy, she would have to fight for a lot of national interests for France and North Korea, right?

Seeing that Hu Xianxian was still in a daze, Sanhua Niang's tone eased and said, "Miss Hu, go back quickly, it's not appropriate to be a good eldest lady, what are you doing here?" ”

"Don't do anything, I'll take a look at the scenery." Hu Xianxian felt that he was completely defeated by Sanhua Niang's words, and said a clumsy excuse that he didn't believe.

"What's there to see here?" The north gate of Lingzhou is a typical place that is dirty, messy and poor, and there is really no scenery.

"Look...... Look at the tree is not bad......", but Hu Xianxian insisted on finding the scenery. There was a crooked black tree growing out of a crack in the wall, and its trunk was covered with scars from people scraping and hitting cars. But the tree continued to grow tenaciously and flourished.
