257: Tailgating
Zheng Zhi still didn't leave, but he didn't get very close, to be honest, he was a little sad about what she said just now, she had never said such ugly things to him.
Seeing that Li finally got farther away, Xin'er finally breathed a sigh of relief, but the movements in his hands were much faster.
This man hasn't gone far yet, who knows when he'll come back again, or he's gone back early after washing.
Originally, she wanted to walk around the river for a while, but according to this situation, she was not in the mood, and she was very annoyed when she thought about it.
Therefore, after washing the clothes, she left with the basin without looking back.
Just this eye-catching kung fu man is gone, Zheng Zhi is a little unhappy.
He is not stupid, seeing that people and things are gone, he knows that she should go home, so he hurries all the way back.
Zheng Zhi is a man in the prime of life, and he naturally walked faster than Xin'er with his empty hands, and after a while, Xin'er's figure appeared again in his eyes.
It's just that he has almost entered the village at this time, and there are not as few people in the village as there are by the river, so he doesn't dare to shout loudly in the back, so he can only rush forward silently and quickly.
However, even so, the people in the village were puzzled when they saw it, and after the two of them left, they talked about it for a long time.
Just as he was about to catch up with Xin'er, someone suddenly called out to him.
"Zheng Zhi, what are you doing here? What's the matter? But this doesn't seem to be the direction to your house, what are you doing in a hurry? ”
This person is none other than Wang Huzi, who also had a good impression of Xin'er before.
He had been looking at Zheng Zhi for a while, and as soon as he was sure that he was following behind Xin'er, he immediately came out to stop him.
"Oh, it's Huzi, what's the matter with you? I'll leave first if it's okay, and I'll talk about it next time. ”
Zheng Zhi didn't want to talk to him at this time, and after saying this, he was ready to continue chasing his heart.
It's nothing, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to say a few words to you when I see you.
And, I see you look flustered, I'm worried about what happened to you, although we can't talk about any particularly good friends, but we can be regarded as growing up together, see how you have to ask two questions, don't you say? ”
He wanted to go, but Huzi didn't let him go, so he had to pull him to say a few words, just like if he didn't say two sentences, one, two, three, he wouldn't let him go.
In this way, Zheng Zhi watched his heart get farther and farther away from him, knowing that he disappeared from his sight.
This situation made him not angry, but after thinking about the identity of the person in front of him, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
"I'm really fine, but I don't have much firewood at home, so I'm not in a hurry to go to the mountains to chop firewood and come back.
Then since you have nothing to do, then I will leave first, it is not too early at this time, and if you delay on the mountain, it will be even later to come back. ”
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with anyone anymore, Zheng Zhi found an excuse to send him away.
"Oh, it turns out that you are going to the mountains to chop wood, I see that you are so anxious and think that something is wrong, since this is the case, then I will not delay you."
Zheng Zhi can think of the problem Huzi can naturally think of, anyway, he can't catch up, so he doesn't have to stop him anymore.
However, after looking at his free hands, he again raised his doubts.
"You said you were going to chop wood, why didn't I see you take something, don't say anything else, why didn't you even take a machete?"
Huzi didn't know that he said that he went to the mountains to chop wood to send him away, but he couldn't help but ask when he thought of him following his heart.
"Ah, it may be that I forgot to come out in a hurry, but it doesn't matter, there is so much dry firewood on this mountain, and you can get a lot of it back without a machete."
Zheng Zhi said this after a pause.
"Oh, too, since that's the case, then I won't pull you to talk, you be careful on the mountain."
"Well, thank you for your good words."
After saying that, the two separated again.
……
Here, Xin'er has also returned home.
"Sister, you're back."
As soon as Xin'er entered the door, Anniang saw her, and got down from the weir to take the basin in her hand.
"Well, sister-in-law, is Aunt Zheng gone?"
Xin'er looked at it, and asked casually without seeing Aunt Zheng's figure.
"Well, go back, she went back not long after you went out."
An Niang replied while taking out the clothes in the eight pots to dry.
"Oh, sister-in-law, what is Aunt Zheng coming to you for, why do you want to avoid me?"
Xin'er didn't particularly want to know, but she couldn't help but be curious.
An Niang paused, then glanced at her and quickly returned to normal.
"It's nothing, just talk to me."
"Sister-in-law, when did you become so familiar with Aunt Zheng that she was going to come to talk to you?"
"Actually, we don't know each other well, but she has something she wants to ask me."
Xin'er heard it, her sister-in-law just didn't want to tell her about Aunt Zheng's intentions, so she talked about her like this.
Thinking of this, she didn't ask, no matter what was going on, her brother was still there, and he wouldn't cheat her.
Seeing that she didn't ask, An Niang was relieved.
Although this matter must be told to her sooner or later, but it is also necessary to choose the right time, at least she feels that this time and place are not suitable for talking about it.
"It's really hard for my sister today, so many clothes have been washed by you alone."
After drying the clothes, An Niang said to Xin'er on the side with the empty basin.
"What is my sister-in-law talking about, aren't we all a family, it's too obvious for you to say this."
"yes, that's a lot of thinking."
"Sister-in-law, I've told you many times, we are a family, and we don't have to be so particular about doing things."
"yes, I know, I'm not used to it yet."
"Sister-in-law, I have to talk about you, you said that you have been here for so long, you should get used to it, and I will be angry if you do this again in the future."
"Okay, I won't do that in the future."
Xin'er didn't believe much in her words, she had said them more than once, but none of them seemed to have really come true.
An Niang looked at her expression and knew her thoughts, so she just smiled silently without much explanation.
"Eh, by the way, sister-in-law, what about my brother, why didn't you see him?"
"He, he went to the mountains to chop firewood, saying that it was okay to stay at home, go to the mountains to see, and by the way, chop some firewood and come back and put it."
"Oh, I see, too, our brother and sister are similar, they are both idle people, if he really stays at home and has nothing to do, he will definitely not be comfortable."
"Yes, you brother and sister are like that."
The two sisters-in-law talked like this, did needlework together for a while, and made dinner together.
