Chapter 53 New Year's goods
Father Qin was released the next day after he was arrested, but before he was released from prison, Chen Yuanbo said a few words to him alone, and no third person was present, so he didn't know what he said.
And the news of Qin's father's release from prison was told to Qin Miaomiao by Chen Yuanbo, who was sitting in Qin Miaomiao's mushroom house drinking tea at the moment.
Qin Miaomiao was a little restrained about his arrival, today he came by himself, it was not that the lonely man and widow made Qin Miaomiao uncomfortable, but that Chen Yuanbo's eyes looked at her made Qin Miaomiao uncomfortable. Always with inquiry. Qin Miaomiao wondered in her heart, she was just an ordinary country woman, what did he have to explore.
The tea came from Su Muna, and she didn't think it tasted good, so it was astringent. But Chen Yuanbo seemed to like it very much: "Miss Qin, have you reconciled and divorced with Su Lang?"
Qin Miaomiao's eyes swept over Chen Yuanbofu and quickly lowered his eyes, his eyes flashed slightly, she didn't want to answer this question. Seeing that Qin Miaomiao was silent, Chen Yuanbo apologized: "It's me who is abrupt, but Miss Qin, if you have any difficulties in the future, you will come to me, and I will not give up." ”
Qin Miaomiao only thought about Chen Yuanbo and was still worried about returning his favors, and he didn't care much, and it was not her who saved people: "County master, thank you." ”
Immediately after this, there was another silence between the two, it was not that Qin Miaomiao deliberately was cold, but she felt that she really couldn't talk to Chen Yuanbo.
Chen Yuanbo is about thirty years old, looks elegant, and smiles very warmly, this is Qin Miaomiao's impression of him, this impression can be labeled by many people, Chen Yuanbo is just one of them.
Chen Yuanbo also saw that Qin Miaomiao was in high spirits, so he quickly got up and said goodbye.
Walking to the door, Chen Yuanbo suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked: "Be careful if you live alone, your sister Qin Ruhua is missing." ”
This is a news that shocked Qin Miaomiao, Qin Ruhua disappeared, did she escape by herself? Or was he ransomed? The latter is more likely, and it is simply impossible to escape from that kind of place.
I'm afraid that Qin Ruhua already hates her to the core, and she will come back sooner or later to take revenge.
After Chen Yuanbo left, Qin Miaomiao's courtyard returned to quiet, and the New Year was getting closer and closer, but Qin Miaomiao felt a festive atmosphere when she was alone.
On the day of the New Year, Yang Liu came to see Qin Miaomiao, brought her some dumplings, and made an appointment to go to the town to do New Year's goods the next day.
Luerling ushers in the busiest time of the year, both East Street and West Street are overcrowded, and merchants and shops have decorated their storefronts, adding to the festivity of the lively town. Take the festive atmosphere to the extreme.
Yang Liu walked down the street with Qin Miaomiao in his arms, both of them were infected by this festive atmosphere, talking and laughing all the way.
Most of the grain farmers on the West Street are grain farmers from nearby villages and towns, guarding the fields to eat, and the Chinese New Year is the most important day of the year, and the money saved for a year is spent on these days.
Yang Liu carried the New Year's money given by her mother's family, and she planned to make two clothes for herself, so she pulled Qin Miaomiao to the tailor shop first.
Approaching the New Year, the tailor's shop was also crowded with people who came to tailor the clothes, and the tailor was still busy, so Yang Liu pulled Qin Miaomiao to choose materials.
Because it is West Street, the materials in the shop are mostly linen cloth, arrowroot cloth, and better cotton cloth, but the price is scary, and Yang Liu does not dare to choose.
Qin Miaomiao was not interested in these, so she silently followed aside.
Yang Liu picked left and right, liked a bright red linen cloth very much, hugged it in his arms and smiled: "Miao Miao, is this good-looking?" Red New Year's celebration. ”
Qin Miaomiao looked at it carefully for a while, smiled and nodded: "It's good-looking." "Although the willow is long and thin, it is whiter than the girls in other villages, and she looks delicate, and she is still very beautiful, and the teenage girls should dress brightly and brightly.
Yang Liu saw that Qin Miaomiao also liked it, so he took Qin Miaomiao's hand and proposed: "Miao Miao, you can also use this cloth to make clothes, you are whiter than me, and your figure is good, you must look good when you wear it." ”
What is good-looking or not, Qin Miaomiao doesn't care much, Yang Liu wears it for Chen Fu to see, who does he wear it for, the dead man doesn't want to see it.
Qin Miaomiao shook her head: "No, I still have clothes, enough to wear." ”
Yang Liu saw that Qin Miaomiao was reluctant, thinking that she was short of money: "Miao Miao, I have money here, my mother gave me more money this year than last year, enough for the two of us to make clothes, or I'll give it to you." ”
After listening to Yang Liu's words, Qin Miaomiao's heart was moved, and she naturally wouldn't ask Yang Liu to spend money for her: "Yang Liu, I have money." ”
Yang Liu no longer persuaded him, but went to the tailor with the cloth: "Shopkeeper, this cloth makes two clothes, and the money is counted together." ”
Qin Miaomiao saw that she couldn't shirk it, so she agreed to make a body, but insisted on getting the money for making clothes herself.
The two of them ordered the clothes three days later to get it, most of the money was spent, Yang Liu wanted to buy some food, although she was married, but she lived with her in-laws, not a home, so the New Year's meat and vegetables are not used by her to buy, today is mainly to buy something she likes.
When passing by the baked cake stall, the willow will not move, the baked cake is the shape of a five-petal plum blossom, baked golden and attractive, the aroma can be smelled from afar, one person wrapped a few pieces, and the willow is eaten while walking.
As the two walked and walked, Qin Miaomiao felt as if someone was following her, there were many people on the street, and there would be no traffickers or robbers, so she had the courage to look back.
Sure enough, with a pair of dark and bright eyes, a man was following them, not very old, similar to Qin Miaomiao, but not low, so he looked more than a head taller than Qin Miaomiao.
Although the clothes on his body were tattered, they were not as dirty and pickled as ordinary beggars, but had a cold temperament.
Yang Liu also turned his head, just glanced at it, and whispered in Qin Miaomiao's ear: "This beggar is really handsome." But it shouldn't be local. ”
This man is good-looking, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep eye sockets, a straight nose, thick and full lips, Qin Miaomiao frowned slightly, this beggar really doesn't want to be a local, he looks more like the Xinjiang people she has seen in modern times.
Qin Miaomiao grabbed Yang Liu and turned around: "Let's go, don't look at it." "Whether this man is handsome or not, they don't want to provoke him, the world is chaotic now, not to mention whether a good skin means a good heart, this person's heart can't be seen in appearance.
Yang Liu obediently followed Qin Miaomiao and continued to walk forward, but after taking a few steps, Yang Liu secretly whispered to Qin Miaomiao, and that person always followed them.
Qin Miaomiao panicked, he was really hungry, he went to a place where there were few people to grab the two of them, and quickly solved it while there were many people now.
The beggar followed just to ask for money or food, and the money naturally couldn't be given, so Qin Miaomiao held the baked cake in his hand to his chest, and suddenly turned around.
The man didn't seem to expect her to turn around suddenly, and he was also taken aback, but he quickly returned to normal, his expression was natural, and he looked at Qin Miaomiao without dodging at all.
Although the beggar didn't act excessively, but he was followed inexplicably, Qin Miaomiao was still a little angry in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it for fear of annoying the man, she raised the baked cake in her hand, and asked without a trace of emotion: "You want this." ”
The man pursed his lips, then nodded.
Qin Miaomiao saw that the man was coming for the baked cake, she breathed a sigh of relief, and walked closer and stuffed the baked cake into the man's arms: "Take it and eat it, but don't follow us, my brothers will beat you when they see it!" ”
Qin Miaomiao said this, hoping to warn the man and let him stop following him.
The man didn't thank him for holding the baked cake, opening the bag and eating it was a bit of a matter of course, Qin Miaomiao frowned, and pulled Yang Liu to leave quickly.
The man didn't continue to follow, Qin Miaomiao and Yang Liu gradually left this matter behind, the two of them walked around for a short time, gained a lot, and returned to the village with a group of neighbors.
Doubao has been waiting at the entrance of the village for a long time, and Qin Miaomiao will bring back delicious food every time she goes to the town, so Doubao comes to pick up delicious food, and also takes Qin Miaomiao home by the way.
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Qin Miaomiao, who had been sleeping sweetly, was woken up by the barking of bean bags, and the bean bags who were originally sleeping next to the bed were standing at the door at the moment, barking at the door, all tense and very nervous.
Qin Miaomiao understands bean bags, and it will do so whenever she sees a living person or is in danger.
Qin Miaomiao got up vigilantly, didn't feel sleepy, got dressed lightly, picked up the kitchen knife under the pillow, and slowly touched the bed.
Just when Qin Miaomiao quietly walked to the door, suddenly the door was pushed outside, but Qin Miaomiao kept supporting the door with a big wooden stick when she slept, so the door just trembled and was not pushed open.
Qin Miaomiao stared at the door, feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, her hands clutched the kitchen knife tightly, a layer of delicate cold sweat rose in her palms, she quietly moved behind the door, her body was close to the door panel, and she didn't dare to make a sound.
She was ready, and when the other person came in, she would slash hard, and then she would run, and there would be a chance to escape.
Sure enough, the man continued to push the door again, and his strength seemed to be greater than just now, and he found that the door couldn't be pushed in, so he began to shake inside and out, and with a bang, a wooden stick on top of the door fell to the ground, and before Qin Miaomiao could pick it up, the door had been vigorously pushed open by someone outside.
The moment the man leaned in, the bean bag pounced without hesitation.
The bean bag weighed for hundreds of years, and it pounced on it like this, and even people and dogs fell out.
Qin Miaomiao didn't dare to delay for a moment, rushed out of the house with a kitchen knife and rushed all the way to Su Mu's house at the bottom of the mountain, at this time she could only think of Su Mu.
The man was knocked down by the bean bag, and a hand knife hit the bean bag in the neck, the bean bag had to let go of his mouth in pain, jumped to the side, and a carp turned over and stood up from the ground.
The moon was dim, and his countenance was faintly visible, with deep eyes and high eyebrow bones, and he turned out to be the beggar he had met during the day.
Qin Miaomiao ran wildly, ran to Su Mu's house in one breath, and slapped Su Mu's door with a shocking sound.
