Chapter Forty-Three: First Meeting
When my mother told me the news, my heart was empty, and I was both disappointed and happy, but the loss was greater than the joy, and I was glad that it had fallen so soon, to comfort my father's dead and to fulfill my mother's wishes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
What is lost is that my life may be spent like this - no love, no passion, like my ancestors, with my face to the loess and my back to the sky, my life is dull!
……
Early in the morning of August 13th, like my sister-in-law who greeted me before, my sisters-in-law were neatly dressed, dressed with dry heads and clean faces, and came to the old grass hut, but this time my sister-in-law's level was lowered and she became a person waiting for others.
The sisters-in-law were chattering in the yard, but I sat alone on the wooden pier of the old house, pondering and worrying in my heart - although there is no love, but not too ugly, or I will sleep with an ugly monster in my arms......
When it was almost nine o'clock, a warm voice came to mind in the courtyard: "Yo, it's all here, hahaha......"
"It's coming!" I also had a faint expectation in my heart, so I stood up, bowed my head, and went out.
Mrs. Liu is still the same, fat and fat, with a red coat on her upper body, a light green skirt on her lower body, and a pair of eyes that are shining with enthusiasm.
And when I saw the girl on the left of Mrs. Liu, I was stunned, the girl in front of me was wearing a white dress, the skirt of the dress had gauze pleats, embroidered with a few red flowers, and looked very delicate and elegant.
The girl's figure is slender and graceful, wearing this white dress actually gives people a refreshing and graceful taste, and her face is even more delicate and picturesque, with a small melon seed face, thin curved eyebrows, a slender nose, cherry-like red lips, long eyelashes are hanging low at the moment, under the eyelashes, a pair of smart eyes are dotted, shy and timid.
Seeing this, a delicate grace of the southern country rushed to the face......
"This matchmaker Liu is really a good green leaf!"
I admired it in my heart, but I didn't expect that the daughter-in-law that Mrs. Liu told me was actually a beauty, and she was on par with Han Chunque! Suddenly, I had a feeling in my heart that I had lost the East and gained the mulberry elm occasionally.
At this time, my mother had already greeted her, and said with a 'hehe' smile: "That, sister-in-law Liu and the girl come to sit in the house." ”
Then my mother seemed to remember something, and continued: "This is the old house, the new house is on the side of the road, the terrain is good, have you seen it?" The house was built by the calf himself, and he was not very old, but he was very good at making money...... Girl, what's your name? ”
My mother was praising me as she walked into the house like a salesman, and I felt my face burn a little. When the girl heard my mother's question, she raised her head, knocked me at the same time, and then quickly lowered her head and said, "My name is Lan Keer." "The voice is Mandarin!
And the moment she looked up at me, I felt a light rise in the air, and my eyes lit up.
"What bright eyes, what a delicate name!"
I muttered silently, and the faint sadness that had been left in my heart because of Han Chunque seemed to be burned at this moment.
After entering the house, my mother gave up her seat to Lan Keer, a stool that my sister-in-law had made before, but now it has become a three-legged stool, but a cloth cushion has been added to it.
After Lan Ke'er entered the house, a pair of beautiful big eyes looked left and right, the expression on her face was as if she was looking at an antique, full of curiosity, and then slowly sat down under the greeting of my mother.
My sister-in-law is still quite clever, and said with a smile: "My sister has never seen such a house!" When I first came, I was also startled, giggles, this house, I will keep it in the future, so I remember the bittersweet memory! ”
The little sister-in-law's words were to give Lan Ke'er a bright prospect, but when I heard it, my heart was dark-in the future, maybe it won't be too long!
"Yes, yes!"
My mother said happily next to her, and then Mrs. Liu also followed: "We have seen the newly built house, it is well built, and the terrain is really good!" ”
When I heard my mother's words, I became even more depressed, I hardly spoke, in fact, I didn't have what I said, the first time people came to see, to see people, to see the family situation.
She had already glanced at me just now, in fact, she had already finished reading. And my mother and my sisters-in-law showed up to show her the family situation, and as for what they said, it was to show the family foundation!
Sure enough, my mother said, "Girl, my calf is very capable, and I have three big cows at home, and I breed them, and I have a small cart ......."
Mother put it first, Mrs. Liu and my sisters-in-law were laughing, lingering in a group of harmony, but Lan Keer didn't speak, just her eyes were like a crescent moon, and she listened with a smile.
After talking for a while, Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Sixth sister-in-law, I will talk to you when you come out." Then Mrs. Liu said to me again: "You two talk first." ”
This is actually a temptation, and if the girl wants to, she will sit down; If it is not intentional, it will follow out; In fact, before the blind date, the matchmaker will also tell the woman this.
Of course, my mother and my sisters-in-law also understood the truth, and when they heard Mrs. Liu's words, they all went out, and my mother also stood up on the table and glanced at me, perhaps because of Lan Keer's beauty, there was a faint worry in her eyes.
After they all went out, the scene became a little awkward, "What are you talking about, you haven't known each other for less than an hour!" I don't know why, I was smiling in front of Han Chunque, and I was free, but in front of her, I just felt that my head was empty, and I didn't know where to start.
And Lan Ke'er was the same, with her head down, her hands wringing each other, and she didn't speak, but there was a touch of lead red on her cheeks.
But not talking is not a solution, I sneered for a long time before asking, "You, how old are you?" ”
"Nineteen." The sound is like a yellow finch.
"Who else is in your family?"
"My grandmother is one."
"It turned out to be quite pitiful!"
I thought to myself, and felt that the conversation was like asking about the hukou, dry and boring, so I stopped, and then there was a long silence, which made me want to escape.
"Whatever you want to eat, I'll buy it."
After holding it for a long time, I finally figured out how to cope with this embarrassing scene.
Hearing my question, Lan Ke'er raised her head, glanced at me, and then quickly lowered her head and said hesitantly: "I, I, I like to eat fish!" ”
I was slightly stunned in my heart, ordinary girls will only say anything on such an occasion, but this girl is very straightforward! Thinking like this, I inexplicably like it in my heart!
As soon as Lan Ke'er finished speaking, my mother shouted happily outside: "Calf, go buy fish, buy good fish, buy fresh fish!" ”
It turns out that they are listening to the corner!
And the reason why my mother was elated was that since the girl opened her mouth, it meant that the big thing had been decided!
