Du Yunnuan took two boxes of shortbread from Liuhe Building and walked home slowly.

When I walked to the corner of the street, I heard Aunt Wu's loud voice, "Oh, the little girl of the Du family, why do you buy a shortbread for a long time?" You've got a guest at home! ”

Du Yunnuan was stunned, "Our family? ”

"Isn't the family surnamed Du in our Hulubottle Hutong just your family? Come back, they've been here for a while! ”

As soon as Du Yunnuan heard this, he thanked Aunt Wu, and ran to the door of his house.

When he was about to arrive at the door of the house, Du Yunnuan saw the ox cart parked at the door from a distance, and then a black shadow came out from above and smashed into Du Yunnuan's arms like a small cannonball.

"Ink!"

"Second uncle, second aunt, fifth sister, you are here!"

Du Yunyan had already laughed when she saw Du Yunnuan, "Oh, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, our little sister has grown taller and stronger, not bad!" ”

Li Cui looked at Du Yunnuan with a smile, "Did you go out in the morning?" ”

"Well, my father is in the county school, my brother is going to class, my mother is in the embroidery workshop, the second uncle and the second uncle, you go to the house first, I will call my mother back!"

Li Cui hurriedly stopped Du Yunnuan, "Don't worry, this time we will come to the county to bring something to your family, I want to go and pull a few pieces of cloth for Yan'er, and when your fifth sister gets married, I will make a few new clothes." ”

Du Yunnuan just opened the door of his house, and was stunned when he heard it, "Fifth sister is getting married?" ”

Du Yunyan nodded nonchalantly, "Yes, I will get married tomorrow spring, and then my mother will not be able to dislike me and not be able to marry." ”

Du Yunnuan came back to his senses and hurriedly let everyone into the house, Du Liancheng hurriedly unloaded the things in the car, all of which were prepared for them by the Li family, home-grown beans, wheat, rice, potatoes, etc., all of which were moved to the yard.

Du Yunnuan opened the door of the room next to the kitchen, where their family's rice grain is usually placed.

Du Liancheng put what should be put on the shelf and put it on the shelf, and put it directly on the ground if it can be put on the ground.

Here, Du Yunnuan had already disassembled the shortbread he bought back and put it on a plate and sent it to the table, "Second uncle, second uncle, fifth sister, this is the best shortbread in Liuhelou, you can taste it." ”

Then she ran to make the stove and drew water from the well in the courtyard and began to boil hot water.

"Don't be busy." Li Cui snatched the work in Du Yunnuan's hands.

"Boil water to drink, I'll just come, you go and talk to your fifth sister."

The ink has been running in and out with Du Yunnuan, and Du Yunyan said with a smile, "The ink misses you, you don't think it's easy to bring it again, I'm afraid that the ink will be lost halfway, and then the uncle didn't dare to bring it when he came to the county seat, after all, no one kept staring at it, and this time I picked her up all the way." ”

"Thank you, Fifth Sister." Du Yunnuan hugged the ink and thanked Du Yunyan.

But it's noon at this time, Du Yunnuan can't eat as casually as she used to deal with herself, so she came out of the kitchen with a basket, most of the vegetables she planted can't be eaten, and it's best to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

"Fifth sister, let's go, let's go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables!"

Li Cui was about to stop Du Yunnuan, "Nannan, what kind of vegetables to buy, you can eat how you usually eat at home, and the second aunt also brought vegetables!" ”

Du Yunnuan had already pulled Du Yunyan out of the door, "Second uncle, you are a guest here, if I don't buy vegetables, my mother will talk about me when the time comes!" ”

On the way to the vegetable farm, Du Yunyan asked casually, "Is there anyone else in the vegetable market at this time?" ”

"There are still pork sellers, as for vegetables or something, if you can't buy them, you can pick a little from a familiar person's house, it's okay, I'll return the gift when I go back."

Du Yunyan looked down at Du Yunnuan in some surprise, "Our little sister has really grown up." ”

Du Yunnuan smiled and did not speak.

She is not really an eight-year-old girl, when she arrives in the county seat, there are not so many pairs of eyes staring at her, and the family is busier than her, so she will naturally reveal some of her true nature.

However, Du Yunnuan didn't pull Du Yunyan out of the house simply to let her accompany her to buy vegetables, she thought about it and decided to go straight to the point, "Fifth sister, who is my fifth brother-in-law in the future?" ”

Du Yunyan nodded the tip of Du Yunnuan's nose, "I know that you can't help it, it's from Yuexing Village, you know this village, right?" Our second sister-in-law's house is over there. ”

Du Yunnuan glanced at Du Yunyan's expression, "Does that person have anything to do with the second sister-in-law's family?" ”

"Yes, he was a soldier, he only came back last year, he is nineteen years old this year, and it just so happens that I am sixteen years old, I met him, anyway, it's okay, so I agreed."

Du Yunnuan frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, Du Yunyan didn't seem to have any expectations for getting married, "Fifth sister, do you want to get married?" ”

Du Yunyan rarely showed a trace of confusion.

"Little sister, why do you say women want to get married?"

Du Yunnuan couldn't answer this question.

"Fifth sister, if you don't want to marry ......" Du Yunnuan's voice paused.

What should I do if I don't want to get married?

Can the Du family support her for the rest of her life?

Du Yunnuan knew that the Du family was very good, if Du Yunyan really couldn't get married, they might raise Du Yunyan for a lifetime, but that was based on the fact that Du Yunyan really couldn't get married.

Now Du Yunyan has hands and feet, and she looks like a big girl who is Zhouzheng, not crippled or sick, why can't she get married?

And if Du Yunyan really doesn't marry for the rest of her life, there will definitely be a lot of gossip coming out.

Du Yunnuan thought for a long time, "It's probably ...... Even if sometimes we don't want to get married, but words are like knives, we don't know if we can bear it for decades, right? ”

Du Yunyan nodded, "Yes, I just thought that if someone whispered in my ear for a few years, I wouldn't be able to stand it, and if it was more than ten years or a few decades, I would probably go crazy, so let's get married." ”

"Anyway, my father and my mother, as well as my grandparents, think that person is good, so let's get married, who is not married anyway?"

"Okay, let's not talk about it, is there a vegetable market in front?"

Du Yunnuan nodded, "Fifth sister, what's that person's name?" ”

"His name is Chen Shu."

Du Yunnuan wrote down the name, and planned to ask his brother and father when he turned back.

Then she packed up her emotions and no longer told Du Yunyan about it, but took her into the vegetable market and found the butcher's house where she often bought meat.

"Do you usually buy it here?" Du Yunyan saw Du Yunnuan's familiar appearance, and asked casually.

"yes." Du Yunnuan responded, looked at the meat on the stall, and made a decision in his heart.

"Uncle Zhang, I want two catties of this meat, just fat and thin, and then give me two of these bones, why is there still lard left today?"

The butcher looked a little ferocious, and after listening to Du Yunnuan's words, he didn't make a sound, he directly picked up a piece of meat, raised the knife in his hand, and put the cut piece on the scale, exactly two catties, no more, no less.
