Chapter 69, girlfriends
Who knew that when Ziqing arrived at the old room after dinner, Xiuying and Xiushui were there, and the three young girls had a lot of things to say, besides, Xiuying's cousin also had someone to say goodbye. When Ziqing went, the three of them were making fun of each other.
Xiushui saw Ziqing enter the door, and hurriedly asked, "Qingqing, you are here, you also come and tell me, what kind of man do you want to marry in the future?" β
"Ask her what to do? How old is she, and what can she know? Just say that you are, your sister and I are decided, and I don't have anything to think about. Qiu Yu asked Xiushui.
"I can't say well, first of all, I must be good-looking, taller, I like it, but I'm afraid that people will look down on me, and the farmer definitely doesn't want to marry, so why should he marry a town? Speaking of which, I still envy you, Sister Qiuyu, your brother-in-law has studied and has a light job, which can support you, you don't have to worry, you still do good needlework, and you can't go wrong in the future. My sister Xiuying can't be wrong, at least she is more capable than me, and she has a plan in her heart. Xiushui said.
"Where are you worried about going so far, usually I see you messing with Ziqing every day, and I think you are heartless. Where can I compare with you, your future dowry will definitely be richer than mine, relying on this, can't I find you a more solid family? My future in-laws are poor, and there are a bunch of younger brothers and sisters underneath. Qiu Yu said.
"What's the point of you two comparing this? Life is not lived by yourself, my family is an empty shell, our family's affairs, you don't know, what else can there be? No one can say for sure what will happen in the future, and you can only rely on yourself. Xiuying sighed.
"I think Ziqing will be the best in the future, don't look at her young age, she can read, she can keep accounts, she can raise chickens, she can grow watermelons, she can cook and take care of children, she is very capable, and the life at home is getting better and better, and the dowry in the future will definitely be indispensable, Ziqing, what kind of person do you want to marry?" Xiushui asked.
After Xiushui asked, Xiuying also coaxed, and asked Ziqing to say, "We've all said it, you're not young, you're seven years old, you just say what kind of man you want to marry in the future?" β
"It's useless to say it, it's not me to find it myself, it's not what my mother is looking for, I have to marry something, is it possible that I don't want to, my mother can still listen to me?" Ziqing rolled her eyes.
"It's the same as if you didn't say it, no, you still have to say it today, I told you that I want to marry a scholar, if you don't say it, I'll tickle you, hurry up, don't you say it?" After Xiushui finished speaking, she scratched Ziqing's waist, Ziqing rolled on the bed with a smile, and then couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"I said, hehe, I want to marry someone who is good for me, and I can only marry one in the future, and I am not allowed to marry anyone else, otherwise I will divorce him." As soon as Ziqing's words were finished, several people laughed and said that she was not ashamed.
There is no adult control at home, a few people don't laugh enough, Qiuyu actually sang in a low voice, singing a local folk song, Ziqing listened like a tea-picking song, usually Qiuyu likes to sing a little song or something, this takes the lead in singing, Xiuying Xiushui is also a playful, how can it not be reasonable.
Xiushui saw that Ziqing couldn't, so she patiently taught Ziqing to sing over and over again, and Ziqing followed one by one, "It's the New Year in the first month, and the sisters go up the mountain to plant tea gardens, plant tea seeds to seize the opportunity, and lose money if you delay the season." In February, the tea sprouts, and the tea is picked while applying fertilizer, and the basket is full of white hairs. In March, the tea is green, and the valley rain is more grasped before the rain, and the tea is picked with both hands as fast as flying, and hard work is exchanged for a good harvestγγγγγγ β
At first, I knew the convergence point, but then the more I sang, the more I let go, and I forgot about my surroundings, until the neighbor next door and the aunt in the back room shouted almost at the same time, "What do you not sleep at night, what are the ghosts howling?" β
The four of them laughed when they heard it, and later, I don't know who suggested it, it was better to steal a few oranges from the neighbor's house to eat, and quench their anger and thirst. As soon as they heard this, everyone became excited, and they simply didn't even sleep. The four of them learned that Suosuo put on his clothes, Qiuyu was the tallest, took a bamboo pole, Xiushui was bold, opened the back door, and the cat's waist passed through the alley, which was the neighbor's orange tree, fortunately, there was a large half moon hanging in the sky, but they could identify which was the orange and which was the leaf, Qiuyu was nervous, and always stabbed wrong, or Xiushui took the bamboo pole, only to hear a few "dong dong" sounds, and the orange fell.
Ziqing hurriedly hugged the two, and heard the hostess shouting: "Who, who, which delicious ghost doesn't sleep in the middle of the night to steal the old lady's oranges?" I was caught by the old lady, see if the old lady doesn't break your legs? Then I saw through the window that the lights were on in her house.
Ziqing hugged the orange and ran away, and it was Xiushui, and the cloth shoes in the countryside were so good, and I couldn't hear much movement. After returning to the room, everyone laughed, Ziqing's breath was still a little out of breath, lying on the head of the bed while laughing and coughing, and beating his chest with his hand, it was too thrilling. Xiuying is lying on the door and pounding on the door and laughing, Xiushui is sitting on the orange with her buttocks, rubbing her stomach and saying that it hurts, Qiuyu smiled and rubbed her stomach while pointing at Xiushui and Ziqing and said: "When I see you two, I often go to steal, my hands and feet are so simple, how can I be like me, I tremble when I take a bamboo pole." β
"Pull it down, why don't you call you stupid? I stabbed seven or eight times with a bamboo pole, but not a single orange fell, and I was embarrassed to say. Xiushui laughed while learning Qiuyu's appearance, vividly, and everyone laughed together.
"It's not okay to accept this, I revealed, Xiushui did always steal it before, and every time she asked Ziqing to sentry her, otherwise, she could have such a good head. However, she really didn't go after Ziqing moved out. Xiuying said.
"Okay, let's not steal it for nothing, open it and see if you can eat it?" Qiu Yu said.
The August Festival is the season to eat grapefruit, four people laughed while eating these four grapefruits, and I don't know what time I slept at night, and when I went home the next day, Ziqing's teeth were all sore, and I could only eat tofu.
Many years later, several people reunited, recalling this night, the singing and laughter of this night warmed the four people, especially the three aunts who were about to go from young girls to women, for them, it was the singing of a girl who completely let go of her heart, it was a wanton bloom of youth, and I am afraid it was also one of the few bright colors in their conformist lives.
It's a pity that the two cousins won't be allowed to come over on the second day, probably because Peng thinks that if it spreads, it will affect their marriage. Within a few days, Mr. Zeng and the others came back, and Ziqing returned to his home.
