The years are like the flowing water of the Xiaoqing River, flowing happily, life is like a pebble at the bottom of the river, gently sliding by the days, leaving no trace, or once stirred up a small wave, after all, it was taken away by the current, so constantly washed, sharpened, and finally became round and smooth!

A year passed in a hurry, Chrysanthemum and Zhang Huai were married, Li Changyu was also married, and many teenagers were also married; Some of those who have already been married have already married; Those who have already married are going to have a baby; The little baby has grown a lot taller; There are a few more gray hairs on the heads of the old people, everything is changing, and there seems to be no change, life is just such a stubble and a stubble!

In the blink of an eye, it is spring again, and Chrysanthemum wants to go to Xiatangji with Li Xiaomei.

That's right! It's to go shopping, the hillbilly wants to go into town!

In the foggy early morning, the farmhouse yard opened with a "squeak", and the chickens and ducks rushed out, and then Aoki came out with the cows, and saw that Zhang Huai had come to the door with the ox cart in the workshop, and asked with a smile: "So early?" ”

Huaizi is going to Xiatang to deliver a batch of goods today, he knows, and Chrysanthemum is going to take a ride with him.

Huaizi smiled: "It's still early? I got up before dawn, and it was dawn in a hurry. Chrysanthemum, are you ready? ”

Chrysanthemum was dressed in a neat and tight blue floral dress and pants—she never liked to wear that long skirt that mopped the floor, and she was too troublesome—holding a delicate small basket in her hand, and hurriedly came to the car with a smile in her eyes, and said to Huaizi: "Wait a while, Xiaoxiu and Xiaocui also said that they would go." Meizi is going, and Brother Changming won't let me, so he asked me to help bring some things. ”

Huaizi hurriedly said: "Then I'll call them." If you want to hurry up, Uncle Cheng has already left first, saying that his family's bamboo and forest are waiting for him at the entrance of the village, and the little sister is also waiting at the entrance of the village. "These girls are all scheduled to go to the set together.

Aoki was just about to say that he was going to call, but Zheng Changhe came out of the yard with a hoe and said to Huaizi: "I passed by the door of Zhou's house by the way, and called them." Just wait here. He said to Chrysanthemum: "Flowers, don't run around." At noon, I will have a break in my cousin's shop. ”

Chrysanthemum responded crisply: "Bhoo! Got it, Dad! ”

Yang also rushed out and told Zhang Huai: "Send the chrysanthemum to Laixina first, you can go and get busy, and then accompany the chrysanthemum for a while." Come back early. ”

Zhang Huai smiled and agreed: "Hey! Don't worry, auntie, I will accompany the chrysanthemum.

There are also little sisters and bamboos, and they all go; Changxing also said that he was going to sell fish; Changyun is also on the set, and many people in our village are on the set, so it's going to be fine. ”

Aoki smiled: "Chrysanthemum, you followed Huaizi, just to take a look at our shop, but you rented several rooms and went out." ”

Chrysanthemum nodded, and said to the Yang family with a smile: "Mother, I'll go and take a look first, go back and pack up a room, and keep our family free to stay for one night." ”

Yang narrowed his eyes with a smile and said, "It's okay to run there to live, my heart is not steady, I must be thinking about my family, and your father must be unhappy." After saying a few more words, he turned around and entered the yard, and Aoki also led the cow away.

The car was full of sausages and bacon, and Chrysanthemum sat in the front of the car, side by side with Huaizi. She raised her face and asked, "Brother Huaizi, did you have breakfast?" ”

Huaizi said: "I soaked a bowl of pot and ate it." Didn't you eat? You should bring some rice candy, otherwise what if you get hungry? It's going to take a while to get to the set. ”

Chrysanthemum took out a few hard-boiled spiced eggs from the basket and smiled proudly: "Look, what is this?" As he spoke, he wanted to hand him one, and behold, he held the bull rope and the hand holding the bullwhip, and then retracted and peeled the shell himself.

Peeled one, steaming with fragrance, handed to Zhang Huai's mouth, Huaizi glanced at her softly, smiled and lowered her head to take a big bite, Chrysanthemum easily stuffed the rest into her mouth and began to peel the second one.

Seeing Zhang Huai's heart jumping, a sweet feeling permeated his whole body, his body was a little soft, and he secretly swept around, and happened to see Xiaoxiu and Xiaocui standing not far away, with a white mist floating around them, with some ethereal taste.

The two of them opened their mouths wide, looking at the affectionate appearance of Chrysanthemum and Huaizi, and their faces were flushed with shame for a while, as if they had seen something that they shouldn't see, and they didn't know whether they should step forward or not.

Huaizi couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly touched the chrysanthemum lightly with his arm, and whispered, "Xiaoxiu Xiaocui is here." After speaking, he blushed and looked up at the two and smiled: "You guys are here?" Go to the car and sit down, and I'll help you get out of the open space. He then jumped out of the car and went to make room for the back.

Seeing the shy appearance of the Xiaoxiu sisters, Chrysanthemum was embarrassed for a while, and forgot to beckon the two to eat eggs, and smiled a little wryly. I secretly said in my heart, it's so dangerous! Fortunately, I got married! I'm all set to kiss, what am I afraid of? The old lady is really far-sighted, she probably expected this kind of situation, so she advocated marriage.

After listening to the old man's words, he didn't suffer a loss in front of him!

After Zhang Huai settled the two of them, he returned to the front, chuckled at the chrysanthemum, and said, "It's a little bumpy, you sit down and help me steady." If you want to drink water, call me, and if I stop, you can drink again, or you will knock your teeth out. He saw that the chrysanthemum basket still carried a bamboo tea tube, and the lid was tightly tucked.

Chrysanthemum smiled at him a little embarrassedly, took a bite of the egg, nodded, and motioned for him to go. Huaizi reminisced about the feeling just now, stared at the egg in her hand itchingly, and said with a smile: "It tastes good!" ”

It clearly said, feed me one more!

Chrysanthemum turned her head to look behind her with some weakness, and saw that the carport was blocking her from seeing, so she handed the egg in her hand to his mouth again, Huaizi took another bite, looked at Chrysanthemum and smiled, and then drove away.

Chrysanthemum stretched out her hand and grabbed the placket behind him, and sighed, "What a big fog!" Brother Huaizi, hurry up and be careful of hitting someone. ”

Zhang Huai looked ahead and said calmly: "It's not in the way, Uncle Cheng is in front of Zhou Xiaoman." I didn't have to go today, but when you said you wanted to go to Xiatangji, I followed. ”

Chrysanthemum couldn't help but laugh when she heard him pretend to be public and private.

At the entrance of the village, the battle scared Chrysanthemum, Liu Xiaomei, Zhuzi, Lin Zi, Xiaoyan, Huang Da Yanzi's little daughter, and two daughters-in-law did not know, Li Changxing also got a car to sell fish.

Everyone squeezed around with laughter, disgusted that there were too many goods in the car to sit, and disgusted that Li Changxing's car was too fishy, Liu Xiaomei ran to the chrysanthemum to take a look, even the chrysanthemum had no place to sit, and was still sitting in the front of the car, so she had to run back and squeeze with the bamboo.

Uncle Cheng shouted: "Get in the car and sit down, and if you don't come up, you'll leave." Now there are so many ox carts in the village, you don't have to walk when you go out, and you don't know that you usually walk on two legs. These babies just don't know what to do! ”

Everyone didn't dare to squeak anymore, sticking out their tongues one by one, squeezing their eyebrows and whispering to the bamboo: "Your father is so fierce!" ”

Chrysanthemum and Zhang Huai looked at each other and smiled.

If it weren't for the long distance, Chrysanthemum would have thought it would be more interesting to walk.

When the four ox carts moved briskly, the villages, fields, trees, flowers and plants hidden in the morning fog appeared in front of them one by one as the ox carts advanced, and they were entangled in the mist, as if draped in a soft light veil, hazy and dreamy.

The ox cart passed by them, and Chrysanthemum saw that the common trees were rendered by the light fog and became ethereal, and the car walked away, and the trees and flowers were shrouded in the fog again, as if hidden in a dream.

Soon, Chrysanthemum felt that her brow was moist, and the hair at the corners of her forehead was also wet with the moisture in the mist, and she blinked her eyes, and even her eyelashes were wet; Looking up at Zhang Huai, I saw that there were crystal droplets hanging on his eyebrows, which were about to fall.

She took out a handkerchief, wiped her eyebrows and forehead first, and then reached out to help Huaizi wipe it. Huaizi hurriedly lowered her head to the side of her so that she could wipe it, and chuckled at her again, her cheek brushing her ear, and the warm breath went straight into her heart.

The two looked at each other for a while, and then smiled and flashed, like a dragonfly dotting water, and like a gentle breeze blowing through the flower branches, intimate, harmonious, natural and traceless; The sweet feeling went straight to the bottom of my heart, my heart trembled, and the subtle and hazy feelings were like flowers and plants under the morning mist, so that the two hearts were naturally close, but there was no urge to kiss passionately.

This emotion comes naturally, and people become clear and simple, as if a person leaves everything behind and merges his whole mind into nature, rolling on the grass like a child.

In the sound of the ox cart "crunching", Huaizi asked gently, "Is it uncomfortable to sit?" ”

Chrysanthemum shook her head and said, "It's okay." Look at the scenery on both sides of this road, and you don't feel bored. I went to my grandmother's house with my brother last time! ”

Huaizi thought for a while and said, "If you come up with it next time, I can take you with you when I go to Xiatangji with your brother." ”

Chrysanthemum shook her head and stopped squeaking.

By the time of the lower pond, the sun had already hung high, but the fog eroded the strength of the sun, and it became soft and unrefreshed.

The fog in the lower pond near the water is particularly thick, and the fog has dissipated elsewhere, and it is still ethereal. From a little distance, the town looms in the mist, like an ink painting; When I got closer, the blue brick houses and the cramped bluestone streets were full of local flavor and a hint of ancient charm.

All kinds of people come in and out, busy and leisurely. Yes, they look busy, but in fact they are very leisurely walking around, doing some business that is not urgent.

When the ox cart stopped at the Fuxi grocery store and left a group of little girls and daughters-in-law behind, Uncle Lao Cheng and Zhang Huai went their separate ways.

Zhang Huai told Chrysanthemum before leaving: "Don't go far yet." It's still early, I'll go shopping when I come. Otherwise, let Laixi accompany you. ”

He bowed his head and earnestly instructed the chrysanthemum, and the scene fell in the eyes of the Xiaoxiu sisters who had just jumped out of the car, and there was a blush and heartbeat, and they were shy, and the heart said that the chrysanthemum and the acacia are really good, and they haven't married yet, so they got up like this.

Seeing that there were many people, Chrysanthemum hurriedly glanced at him, urged him to leave, turned around and pulled Liu Xiaomei, and said to Zhuzi and the others: "Let's go to my cousin's shop to take a breath first, and then see where to go first." With that, he entered the shop.

Laixi was stunned to see a group of red and willow green girls rushing into Hulala, chirping and crisp laughter continued, only to feel that the two eyes were not enough to see, and suddenly saw the female baby next to Chrysanthemum, isn't it the one I saw when I went back to my aunt's house, the bright and peach-like Liu Xiaomei! The peach he gave to Chrysanthemum immediately appeared in front of him, which coincided with the round face of the little sister.
