Chapter 270: An Omen of Early Arrival
Even though I had a lot of reluctance and reasons to believe it, when I heard me say that I knew Shuyuan, Zhuo Ting actually covered her mouth and smiled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć It was the first time I saw her smile so happily, and it was without the slightest malice, so I naturally looked a little stupid.
My aunt seems to be a little interested in the rag doll, and she chatted happily with Zhuo Ting, so she didn't mean to embarrass me anymore. It turns out that Shuyuan, who I know, really has a relationship with Zhuo Ting. They are not only related, but should be more accurate to say relatives.
Because of my Zhuo Ting, who should be called my cousin, her father's maternal uncle's family is also from Yaoju Village. In the era of their elders, the population was not as large as it is now, not only did many close relatives get married, but also many chose to start a family nearby. The Zhuo family is very normal to marry the next village, generation after generation. And Zhuo Ting's family is a relative of the male family, and he is Shuyuan's grandfather.
According to the villagers, Zhuo Ting's father and Shuyuan's father, that is, a pair of cousin brothers, are similar to the relationship between Zhuo Ting and my aunt.
Originally, I really didn't care about their relationship. But thinking of Shuyuan's closeness to me now, and her saying that she was coming to me in the fourth year of junior high school, I suddenly felt that my head was bigger. At this time, coupled with the relationship between Zhuo Ting and Sister Shuyuan, I was surprised that I didn't come back to my senses for a while.
Zhuo Ting heard that Shuyuan had just been here, and this young girl who seemed to be virtuous actually smiled again, saying that this was really rare. Because she said that Shuyuan rarely visits the door, and she is even more disdainful of her temperament. If you want to talk about her impression of being a cousin, Zhuo Ting rarely expressed envy. It seems that Shuyuan's kind of inappropriateness is a kind of envy in her opinion.
I don't know how surprised they would be if they knew that Shuyuan and I were close, but I really didn't have the heart to think about it at this time, because I suddenly faintly thought of the reason why Shuyuan might be looking for herself. At the time, I was a little excited, but now I think about it. Because not only is Shuyuan so much older than me, but even when I am really an adult, with my father's current situation, it is impossible for Shuyuan to come into our house.
But I suddenly vaguely seemed to grasp something in my mind, and then when Zhuo Ting's voice sounded in my ears again, she said that she hadn't seen Shuyuan for a long time, and I suddenly thought of something! It turned out that when I first came to my grandfather's house, Lao Lingpo talked to me for a while, and I thought it was just Lao Lingpo's usual chat. At this time, when I suddenly thought of Shuyuan, I suddenly thought of something!
Lao Lingpo naturally won't have ill will towards me, and Yonghui will naturally not harm me, but the situation of the Niu family is here. They should have seen it better than I did, because when my father used to go to work, because I was young, the temptation wasn't obvious. But now my father has chosen to leave his job without pay, and even though many people still don't understand what this is for, the thought that I can't take over is naturally a little lively in many people's hearts.
My eldest brother is not much younger than my uncle Yuyuan, but because of college students, he went out to work early. My father's job naturally has nothing to do with him, and the most likely thing is me. In the minds of the villagers, this is a natural and 100% thing. To speak of a job as a national worker, the allure of this era is simply too great.
Although I don't know what Shuyuan is thinking, we have seen it many times, but only this time is really familiar. Whether it's me doing evil myself, or Shuyuan herself has some scheming in her heart, if the family really knows about the relationship between her and me, not to mention whether my father will trouble me, at least in this era when few people make mistakes, my father, who loves face, will definitely have an explanation for her.
I don't know why I thought of this, but the words of the old lady in my ears were still recalling, and I immediately understood. It's not that the Niu family doesn't crave these temptations, but they really can't express their thirst for them. Niu Yongzhen and Niu Yongshan brothers are both suitable for working age, but strictly speaking, they have nothing to do with my family, and my father can help them, it is all because of the love between grandma and Lao Ling.
The Niu family saw this clearly, whether it was deliberate for their grandmother to like Yonghui at first, or it was really Yonghui who was loved, and grandma couldn't give up her care, at this time the Niu family felt a kind of hope, and it could even be said that it was a faint and inexpressible crisis.
If my father did give up the job, or if he wanted to find someone to replace him, it would be his own son. But obviously I was too young to get my employer's consent or consent. My father was nothing more than my uncle and those cousins, but the people of the Niu family didn't seem to care much about this indicator of my uncle and cousin, because they knew my grandmother and father too well.
Although Lao Lingpo seemed to reveal it to me unintentionally, I also knew that she really cared for her granddaughter. If I had always hoped to marry my granddaughter to one of my grandmother's nephews, or even one of my own grandchildren, it seemed a little unrealistic now. Because they all know that Yonghui is very good to me, and I seem to be unusually close to Yonghui. Although Yonghui is also bigger than me, the gap in this age group is not a problem for these people at all.
I don't know if I'm thinking too much, I fell into confusion again for a while, and the figures of Shuyuan and Yonghui kept alternating in my mind. The porcelain factory that Lao Lingpo has been mentioning repeatedly seems to me to be an excuse at this time. If I insist that my father can introduce her to the porcelain factory, it is clear that my father's job will not be found. If I do my best to help Yonghui and say good things, in their opinion, even if Yonghui enters the porcelain factory, they will no longer be afraid.
Although I didn't know what to say, and I didn't know what to say, it was clear that Mrs. Ling was extremely satisfied with my reaction. When I thought of this, although my heart was in a mess, Yonghui's figure gradually gained the upper hand, and even wanted to slowly squeeze Shuyuan out. But what I didn't want was that just when I was about to completely squeeze Shuyuan out, I saw Zhuo Ting's bright eyes.
With a bang, it seemed that the picture in my mind shattered to the ground. Fortunately, there was a gossipy aunt beside her, and when she saw that Zhuo Ting was kind to me, she naturally talked to her endlessly about the last time Jiuyuan decided to kiss them and come to see the file. She couldn't guess what was going on in my heart, and naturally she wouldn't know that I was thinking so much.
When I saw this, I didn't expect Zhuo Ting to have a shy look, and whispered something in my aunt's ear. Although I didn't hear her say anything, I was confused when I saw her smiling and smiling. Especially when I thought of Shuyuan and her often meeting, my heart became even more empty. But maybe she and her aunt had a topic, and the two of them ignored me for a while.
I felt a chill in my neck and remembered that it was in the back of the house. The place we are in used to be a small grove behind my grandfather's house, and there are some relatively large trees here, and some nostalgic large fruit trees, such as large persimmon trees, tall jujube trees, and even oversized fig trees.
Because there are more trees, naturally there will be fewer messy small trees, and they will not be like the messy bamboo forest behind Hongzheng Hall, and all kinds of miscellaneous small trees. The north wind passed through the relatively empty woods, and although it blocked some of the wind, it still blew directly behind the house. Of course, because this place is relatively special, although it is next to the promotion hall, it belongs to the territory of Yaoju Village.
The people of Yaoju Village may rarely think that this place belongs to them, but when the territory was divided, it was really depressing. What's even more surprising is that not only my grandfather's family lives here, but also my grandfather's two brothers and a son of the Niu family, Niu Chengjin. It's easier to understand if it's just my grandfather's brother, but this Niu Chengjin is also here, which makes people feel a little strange.
I haven't paid much attention to this ox orange gold that usually only promises in my impression. Because this person is said to be a geek, proficient in many strange things, and he is also a relatively old party member in the village.
But what stunned me the most was that he was also one of the sons of Lao Lingpo. In my impression, he is not as close to my family as his brother Niu Chishui, but has always maintained due distance from us like a real outsider. Although my grandfather is a neighbor and can be said to be closer, I have the impression that he has always kept a certain distance from my family, and even I am a little stranger to him.
So, I'm not very familiar with this cow orange gold, but I know that the grove behind it, his family also occupies a quarter of the territory. The reason why I say a quarter is because I vaguely remember one thing. At some point, when I was playing with my uncle and aunt here, because there were a few jujube trees and persimmon trees in that part of his house, his cousins used to drive us away when the fruit trees were bearing fruit, and they said to our faces that the land belonged to theirs.
I don't know if I remember it clearly, but I was very impressed by the chattering cousin. An eagle-like look and a chilling face. I heard my mother say that this cousin, although she has no reputation in the township, but because she once had a strange disease, she later became a well-known fairy lady in the township (fairy mother: Xiangchu local dialect, a special group of women who can communicate yin and yang ghosts).
It was because I saw the rag doll that Zhuo Ting was holding that I suddenly thought of Niu Chengjin's cousin, because its eyes really looked like her. Of course, there is another shadow in my heart, that is, the strange baby I met with the provincial prince that night. It's almost an instinctive feeling, and I can't help but think about it.
I stood outside the woods near my grandfather's house, and then I felt that the air was really cold. I faintly heard Zhuo Ting say that she was going back at night, but the aunt didn't know what she was thinking, so she actually spoke out to keep her cousin. I saw their shadows blur in front of me, as if they had become the shadows of the rag doll, and seemed to have become something else. (To be continued.) )
