34 cold
Wait for lunch. It's almost time for the others to go. Zhou took the dishes and chopsticks. I also sent a bowl of uneaten meat to a few families who stayed behind to help. These are all the rules left in the village. Whoever came to help had to leave a separate dish for someone who had not eaten.
Lin Zheng and Heping helped to send back the tables, chairs and benches borrowed from various families. Most of the day has passed. and everyone is gone. Zhou cleaned up the stove and sat in the hall, his face was a little ugly in the room, and he could faintly see the anger on his face.
"Mother. What's wrong with you are not tired. Meizi looked at Zhou's face and thought that she was tired today.
Zhou raised his head and looked at Meizi with a complicated expression. There was a hint of distress in his eyes. "It's fine. Just rest for a while. β
Zhou was very happy today. After all, her youngest daughter will be able to find a good family in the future after learning needlework from Zhang.
But this eldest daughter. I only quit a few months ago. Now it is rumored by people all over the village that it has a relationship with the grandson of the family. This is also what the daughters-in-law who have just befriended said to themselves. Otherwise, where would I know? Zhou thought about these bad things, not to mention how boring they were.
The next few days were fine. Umeko still walks with a cane. And you can't go too far. You can only go around in front of the house and behind the house.
Today, Meizi had dinner in the evening, and Meizi sat under the grape trellis at home to enjoy the coolness. At home, Zhou went to the river to wash clothes. The two little ones went to Aunt Zhang's house next door. On Tuesday, the river went to the field to see the water. The plum couldn't go anywhere, and she sat under the grape trellis, looking at the little green grapes hanging on the tree, her hands propped up on her chin, her eyes empty, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Peace has always felt that Meizi glanced at him that day. I didn't look at myself when I left. The more I thought about it, the more irritated I became. I don't want to owe ten rabbits to the little girl! It rained a few days ago, and it was not easy to catch, so I had to lay a trap in the mountain. Let's go cut down trees today and stop by to see it. Oops, this good guy has it in almost every trap. Although some were injured. But it shouldn't be a problem to keep it for a few days.
Get the rabbit home. I went to the bamboo forest and cut down a few bamboos. I made a big bamboo basket, and it just so happened that these more than ten rabbits would not feel too crowded inside. After dinner, he carried it to Meizi's house. Lin Zheng's kid wanted to follow. When I thought of the two of them talking to each other in front of me at that time, I felt irritable. Lifted his foot and kicked the person home.
Along the way, I saw some village names, and when I saw myself passing by, they were all muttering peace quietly, thinking that they were talking about what they were holding, so they didn't pay much attention to what they were holding, so they went to Meizi's house.
Arrived at the door of Meizi's house. Before I could knock on the door, I looked up and saw a delicate little woman sitting under the grape trellis. Peace coughed unnaturally, "Ahem." Meizi heard a cough and came back to her senses. I saw Heping carrying a cage containing rabbits.
When Meizi saw him, he remembered what Lin Zheng said at the dinner table a few days ago. The expression on his face was alienated and faint: "Is there something to do with the eldest brother?" β
Heping was stunned at first when he heard Meizi's tone was different from before. I didn't know where I provoked her. I'm irritated for no reason.
"Didn't this owe you a rabbit some time ago! It rained the other day and I couldn't go up the mountain. I've got it for you today. β
Meizi looked at the man's eyebrows. Looking at the rabbit he was carrying. If you don't mention it, you have long forgotten about it. Looking at it now, I didn't say much, but I said in a light tone: "No need." Take it home. At that time, I just said in passing, how can I want you! β
Heping listened to Meizi's refusal, and his heroic eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle together. He opened his mouth stiffly. "I don't like to owe people something. It's useless for me to take it back! β
"Who said it was useless. You can take it home, burn it, eat it, bake it, and eat it. β
Peace: "There are only a few big men in my family who can't do it." Or if you have time to burn it, I'll come to your house to eat! Meizi listened to the man and began to talk nonsense again. The delicate two eyebrows couldn't help frowning: "It's not appropriate for you to run to my house often as a big man." You'd better take it back! β
Heping was also a little annoyed when he heard Meizi's repeated refusal. A few steps into the courtyard. Put the cage with the rabbit in the yard. He immediately turned around and walked in front of Meizi. Bend down slightly. Stretching out her slender fingers, she clasped Meizi's white and tender chin. Then he lowered his head and leaned into Meizi's ear: "Something is not suitable." Hugged and hugged. The back has also been carried out. I think it's a good fit. β
The man's warm breath sprayed on Meizi's ears. It seems as if an electric current is flowing. It swelled all over the body along the ears. I can't help but feel excited. Meizi suddenly blushed with shame, and raised her hand to open the man's hand that was pinching her chin. "You're shameless. β
Heping looked at Meizi's indifference and alienation from him, and he was blushing with shame. The irritability in my heart suddenly dissipated. The expression on his face softened a lot. A pair of eyes stared at the little woman in front of him, and his pupils were as black as ink. Looking at the fried-haired little woman in front of her, she couldn't help but laugh.
Meizi raised her head when she heard the laughter, and inadvertently met the man's dark eyes. There is a small self reflected in it. The expression on his face suddenly became much more complicated.
"Two rivers. At home? The sudden sound broke the embarrassment. When the visitor saw that the door was open, he entered. I saw two people sitting and standing under the grape trellis. I was stunned for a moment, thinking that these two people really wouldn't be like the rumors in the village! But this is not the time to delve into this. I hurriedly went up the mountain and pulled the plums and wanted to go out. "Meizi, come with me." Your mother got into a quarrel with someone by the river. I can't persuade you to come with me to have a look. β
Hearing this, Meizi hurriedly reached out and took the crutches placed on the side of the table, propped herself on the ground and stood up. followed Aunt Huang and hurriedly walked out. As he walked, he asked, "Aunt Huang." What's going on. Why did my mother quarrel with someone. β
Aunt Huang turned her head and glanced at Heping. Turning his head to Meizi, he said, "It's not a matter for you to follow the Hejia boy." Now it's rumored in the village that you have something to do with the kid. No, your mother is washing clothes by the river, so you won't hear it. It's theorizing with people. β
Hearing this, Meizi's two delicate eyebrows furrowed again. As he collapsed out of the door, he turned his head and glanced at the man standing in the door. In a hurry, he limped with his crutches and followed Aunt Huang to the river.
Just now, Meizi and Aunt Huang's words were heard peacefully and clearly. The expression that softened towards the plum just now was gone, and his face was full of seriousness. Lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment. He also strode to the river.
It didn't take long for Peace to catch up with the limping little woman in front.
Meizi saw the man who followed her and said angrily: "Why are you following me!" It's not lively enough! β
Peace looked at the angry little woman with a smile in his eyes. Sighing helplessly. "Anyway, this matter also involves me, and I, the client, should also be in the long run."
Meizi listened to the words of peace and felt that it was also reasonable. Nor did he care about the men who followed him.
Peace looked at the little girl's angry look. I can't help but be funny and angry.
