The vegetables in the Xie family's vegetable shed have grown taller these days, and the yellow and tender buds look gratifying.

At the same time, the scoundrels, who watched more diligently, saw figures wandering around the straw hut from time to time, like wild dogs waiting for an opportunity, and like vultures with bad intentions.

He stayed in the grass hut every day, and when Xie Wang's family came to replace him, he hurriedly went back to eat a meal. For fear that a scoundrel would take advantage of the loophole and ask him to steal the vegetables.

On this day, the silver frost is beginning to melt, and the breeze is coming, which is a rare good weather in winter.

He returned home in the morning and had breakfast, and then came to the straw hut to wait. I patrolled it to see if there was any wind leakage here, and to see if it was frozen, and to see the tender yellow buds growing rapidly, and it only took a few days to grow the height of my palm, and I couldn't help but rejoice in my heart.

In the middle of the morning, the sun comes out, and there is a bit of spring breath.

Ping'an drew water from the nearby pond and took advantage of the warm weather to water the young seedlings in the straw shed.

"Brother An, you're busy!"

When he was busy working, he heard a delicate voice not far away, which seemed strange and familiar, and the voice seemed to have heard it.

Ping'an hurriedly turned around, and saw a woman standing not far away, wearing an apricot red oblique cotton jacket, wearing a bamboo green bottom embroidered butterfly love flower three-shuttle cloth skirt, stepping on a pair of pomegranate red embroidered shoes, holding a bamboo basket, standing on the ridge. Thin curved willow eyebrows, autumn waves-like almond eyes, looking at him with a smile.

Ping An was frozen as if he had been struck by lightning, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and the pretty girl was still standing there.

Second Sister Zhao looked at his stunned appearance, glanced at him, and smiled with a smile.

"Second sister, are you ...... Why are you here? Ping An stammered, and he didn't dare to stare at the girl directly, his eyes only dodging left and right.

"My mother and I went to Huluzhuang to buy some needlework sauce, and I saw that you were busy here from afar, so I came to see you......" Second Sister Zhao held Lan'er sideways, lowered her head and made her skirt, stepped on the dirt under her feet, and pretended to be shy: "Do you think that a good girl ran over to see a descendant, and she is not ashamed!" ”

"Where will it be! It's too late for me to rejoice! "Ping An can hear this, where can he not panic? hurriedly confessed his thoughts: "You don't know, since I saw each other that day, I ...... I've been thinking about you......"

Second Sister Zhao raised her head slightly, stroked Luo's skirt, glanced at him obliquely, and said in a coquettish voice: "I don't believe it!" If you really think about me, why don't you ask Mrs. Guo to come to my house to propose? ”

"You...... Your father asks for too much bride price, my family ...... Can't get out that many miles! Ping An mentioned that the Zhao family asked for a lot of dowry, but his family blushed first, as if he couldn't come up with so much money to marry her, so he treated her badly.

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a "click" from behind the vegetable shed not far away.

"Who's there?" Ping An shouted, suppressed his tenderness for the time being, and was about to go over to check.

Second Sister Zhao was full of words to say to him, time is tight, where can he be allowed to go away? stopped him and said: "Peace, I begged my mother to come with me, probably because my mother checked why I didn't go back!" ”

After that, Second Sister Zhao sighed, raised her head to look around, and said softly: "Brother An, I have two words to say to you, let's go to the pond to talk, the provincial people in the village will see it, joke!" ”

Ping An was naturally willing, followed behind Second Sister Zhao, and walked towards the opposite side of the river.

After turning a reed, I couldn't see the shadow of the people in the village, so Second Sister Zhao slowly turned around and said softly: "Brother An, you don't know, I feel bitter!" ”

When Ping An heard this, he was not surprised and distressed, and blurted out: "Second sister, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, but whatever I can do, I can do it for you, even if I go up the knife mountain and down to the sea of fire, I can do it for you!" ”

Second Sister Zhao heard what he said, turned around and looked at him carefully, and when she saw him with a solemn face, she couldn't help but sneer, and said coquettishly:

"Brother An, with your words, I put my heart in my stomach. You don't know the situation of my family, my eldest sister was originally engaged, because the fiancé's house was broken, my father married her thirty taels of silver to the Wang family who sold wontons in the city...... My brother-in-law of the Wang family was a cripple, where can my father manage a lot? Whoever pays the most bride price, he will marry his daughter. When I arrived, my father looked at me...... It's a few points better than the eldest sister, so I want more......"

She saw Ping'an's brows furrowed, and she couldn't help but be a little worried, afraid that he would retreat because of her father's greed for money, so she hurriedly walked a few steps forward, and looked at him with a pair of autumn-like almond eyes with affection, and even looked at him with shame, until Ping'an's dark face turned purple.

Second Sister Zhao lowered her head slightly, pinned her pretty face away, and only pointed a small earlobe with a silver lilac at him, and said quietly: "Brother An, I'm not afraid of your jokes." Since that day, I have also ...... I haven't forgotten you! ”

"Really?" Peace and joy.

"What are you doing to lie to you, who is ashamed to answer?" Second Sister Zhao glanced at him shyly.

Ping An was swept away by her pretty eyes, just like drinking a bowl of hot ginger soup in winter and taking a cold shower in summer, with a stirring spirit on her body, and her heart was full of joy.

"Brother An, when I looked back that day, my father said that he wanted a hundred taels of dowry, and I persuaded him to ask for a little less, because I ...... The heart belongs to you...... I'm afraid that you will say that I love money, and even though the Kai family has bought a new Zhuangzi, I am afraid that they will not be able to spend a hundred taels of miles to marry a bride! Who knows, as soon as I said that, I was scolded by my father......"

As she was talking, Second Sister Zhao took out the fine handful of ear embroidered butterfly love flowers muslin sweat towel in her sleeve, lightly covered her face, and sobbed shyly: "I don't know how to be ashamed!" He said such a thing to a descendant......"

Where did Ping An pass through this scene?

The beauty in front of her, with a black beard and a low bun, fragrant and watery sideburns, green curved crescent eyebrows, and fragrant cherry mouth. The copper gilt plum hairpin is obliquely skimmed on the bun, and there are two red silk flowers next to the temples.

Where can Ping'an's brain think about anything else, he can't wait to give his heart to Second Sister Zhao, so he swore immediately: "Second Sister, I know your intentions, you wait, I will definitely ...... I must go home and beg my father and mother, and I want to marry you to enter the door! ”

"What if your father and mother don't agree?" Second Sister Zhao had a pair of red apricot eyes, looked back at him, and her rouge cherry lips pursed slightly, indescribably pretty.

Ping'an's heart was like a ball of hot oil, his limbs and veins were boiling, he stared at the ruddy cherry lips of Second Sister Zhao, the blood all over his body was filled with his brain, his face was red, his ears were red, his face was red, and his face was red, just like a red-hot shrimp, he said categorically:

"If my father doesn't agree...... I...... I will never marry for the rest of my life! Waiting for you ......"

Ping'an took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to the second sister Zhao in front of him, but saw that the second sister Zhao seemed to be frightened and took a few steps back, looking at him in fright, and Ping'an's mind couldn't help but sober up slightly.

Second Sister Zhao saw a slight disappointment on his face, so she took a few steps forward, threw the sweat towel in her hand into his arms, and said with a smile: "Brother An, don't worry!" When I go home, I fight my father to beat and scold, and I have to wait for you to come to my house to propose, I don't believe that my father can tie me up and marry someone else......"

Ping An carefully held the embroidered sweat scarf, listening to the words of Second Sister Zhao with deep affection in his ears, how could he not be moved in his heart?

"Second sister, you wait, tonight I will show my heart to my father and mother, and I will definitely come to the door early tomorrow morning to propose marriage, you ...... You're waiting for me......"

Second Sister Zhao smiled and nodded, walked a few steps and looked at her mother's figure in the distance, and said with some reluctance on her face: "Today, I knelt down and begged my mother so that I could come and say a few words to you. The words can come out of my mouth and into your ears, don't tell others, save others to poke your tongue, and I am not ashamed to laugh at me. If my father finds out, he will beat and scold ......"

As she spoke, she glanced at peace with affection in her eyes, and said coquettishly, "Brother An, don't forget your words, I'm going to ...... now" As she spoke, she turned around and walked away......

Xie Ping'an watched her wicker-like body swaying and swaying willows, gradually disappearing from sight, and couldn't help but cover the fine handful of sweat towel on her nose, took a deep breath, and a faint aroma of fat powder seemed to go directly to her heart along her mouth and nose, making his whole person fluttering, and his soul seemed to float to Second Sister Zhao with this fragrance......
