Chapter 297: In the People
The next day, Liu Dakang, who was supposed to go back to Xia Town in the evening, came back before noon.
He wanted to sneak home and take a look and change a few sets of clothes, but his mother had nothing to do that day, and because the weather was too hot, he didn't go out, so he stayed at home to do needlework, which just caught him.
Aunt Liu slapped the clothes she was making on the table, and said angrily: "You stinky boy, do you still know how to go home?" You haven't been home all day, can't it be to make it easier to hook up with that vixen? If you don't give me an honest explanation today, you won't want to go out of this house again! Thinking of Jiang Han's desire to speak last night and stop saying goodbye, she felt that clusters of anger and guilt burned her heart uncomfortably, and the girl must have been wronged, but she was embarrassed to tell her!
After experiencing the pain of losing a son, husband and daughter, she never looked forward to Liu Dakang and Liu Xiaomei becoming a dragon and a phoenix, she only hoped that they could grow up peacefully, find someone who knows the roots, start a family and have children, and then live a smooth life, I feel that God takes the greatest care of her.
Father Jiang already has a life-saving grace for their Liu family, and has a master-apprentice relationship with Liu Dakang, Jiang Han has grown up since she was a child, although her personality has changed greatly, she has no bad intentions, and compared to the original shy and less talkative, she prefers that girl's current cool and assertive appearance, which can complement her son's hesitant and timid personality.
She planned well, but she didn't know that the mistake was her son.
Liu Dakang was irritable, he hid in the yamen and didn't go home because he didn't want to talk about these things with his mother.
Thinking about it now, he also regretted that a few months ago, when he heard his mother mention his marriage contract to Jiang Han to him for the first time, he went to ask the master as soon as his mind was hot.
He is so stupid, he doesn't want to do it in his heart, just keep dragging it out, and when the two families start to talk about marriage, presumably Jiang Yueya will react more than him. At that time, he will not end up in a situation where he will shoot himself in the foot, ask for nothing, and ride a tiger difficult.
He hugged the burden of dirty clothes, and wailed with a sad face: "Mother, I told you, there are no fox spirits at all!" The son had just entered the fast class at that time, and he wanted to do a good job in the yamen to talk about marriage again. I was afraid that I would delay Yueya, so I told Master like that, why didn't you believe me? Why don't you go to the yamen and find out if I'm lying?" We are busy investigating cases these days, and we are about to enter autumn, and we have to prepare for the autumn tax. ”
Aunt Liu stared at his irritable eyes for a moment, saw that he did not dodge or dodge, and recalled that the answers she had forced him to answer several times were like this, she was also relieved in her heart, and decided to believe her son's words for the time being.
Her face softened, and she said, "It's best if you don't have it!" In this way, after a while, your master's leg will be better, and my mother will mention to him about you and Yueya. He beckoned to Liu Dakang again, pulled him to sit at the table, took the burden and put it on the table, and said earnestly, "Son, let's not look at the top." Mother knows, you are still young, there are always some other ideas in your heart, the moon girl has always been a tomboy and has no femininity, you only think she is a brother and a sister in your heart, there is no love between men and women, my mother understands. It's just that these two people are living a life, and what they want is to be down-to-earth and peaceful. ”
"A lifetime is so long, you don't have a love for her now, and you support each other after getting married, but you don't necessarily have no love after a long time. My mother was also young, and those impulses and passions when I was young, whether I wanted to die or live, were all empty. When the family is married, the child will be busy for life and the child every day, and it will slowly fade. Seeing that Liu Dakang was in a trance and looked impatient, she didn't listen at all, she was annoyed and slapped the back of his hand fiercely, but when she met the pair of swarthy innocent eyes after he came back to his senses, she sighed again, "You listen to your mother, you won't be wrong, your mother will never harm you!" ”
Liu Dakang really didn't listen to his mother's long words just now, and at this time he came back to his senses and heard his mother say this, quickly nodded, and said perfunctorily: "I listen to my mother." Then he stood up, "Mother, I still have something to do, there are still people waiting outside, I have to leave quickly, I won't take the change of clothes first, and after this busy time, I can go home with you every day." Since his mother no longer pressed him, there was no need for him to hide in the stinking rest room of the yamen every day.
"Wait, the moon girl came to you last night, let you come back today and accompany her to the Huang family, if you don't have time, I'll go to Washi Street later, go to the other side of the street, go and discuss with her for a day, the day before yesterday, something happened to the Huang family's stall, and she started to set up a stall again in the past two days."
"Oh, in that case, then I'll take my brothers to the stall for lunch!" Maybe you can still meet Yun Niang? Liu Dakang thought about it, and couldn't help but get excited, and dropped the sentence "I'll go first" and impatiently stepped out of the threshold.
When Liu Dakang led a few catchers to the Jiang family's stall, Yun Niang was nowhere to be seen, and there was Wang Shopkeeper sitting at the low table under the cloth shed behind the stall, and Jiang Han, who was standing beside him, was smiling and talking to a young man in his teens with clear eyebrows.
When they approached, they heard the young man say, "...... I will go back to my shopkeeper and tell me that you will take time to go to the restaurant tomorrow, so I will take my leave. With that, the young man hugged his fists, passed by the group, and left.
As soon as Jiang Han saw Liu Dakang, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Brother Kang, why did you come back at this time?" Quick, bring a few big brothers in and sit, there is only pasta today, if you don't dislike it, eat a few, and I'll go next door to make a bowl of noodles for one of you. He turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, you see, I didn't lie to you, did I?" I'm really waiting for my brother to go to Huang's house to discuss again. If I can talk about it today, I'll go back to the teahouse tomorrow, and if not, please let me take a few more days off. ”
It seems that the shopkeeper Wang is here to urge Jiang Han to return to work in the teahouse, Liu Dakang thought to himself, stepped forward to greet the shopkeeper Wang, exchanged a few more words, and then skillfully took some buns and distributed them to the four catchers who came together, and beckoned them to sit down.
After Jiang Han sent the shopkeeper Wang, he went next door to buy five bowls of rice noodles, and served a bowl in front of one person, then sat next to Liu Dakang and asked, "Why did you come back at this time, what happened?" ”
The two sat alone on the side of the stall, Liu Dakang looked back at his four colleagues, and saw that a few of them were gobbling up and had no time to take care of anything else, so he lowered his voice and said: "It's not the last time, the person didn't find it, the Tian family who lost the child is not an ordinary family, the family is not only rich but also a big official." Lost is another sister-in-law, Mrs. Tian is very powerful, every day to send people to the county government to sit, Chen County ordered these days to have gray hair, the county town turned over and over again, and sent people to the nearby Dongyue and Shanyang to find, the same day also ordered Lord Shen to strictly control the various checkpoints, has searched again, today again, I will go to the inspection department to pass the order, and then check with them. ”
Jiang Han was stunned: "Have you checked it once?" How could I not know? ”
"On the first day, the county closed the city gate, and the focus of the search was not in our town, and later, when the town went door-to-door, didn't you go to the county seat? Yun Niang didn't tell you? ”
"Maybe I said it, my focus has not been on this recently, and I haven't paid much attention to it - you don't have time to accompany me to Huang's house today?"
"It depends on the end time. Can't you wait for Uncle Zhao to come back? We can set up a stall now, there's no need to rush to Huang's house at this time, right? Or is it - the matter of the Huang family, it is really you ......"
Jiang Han casually picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "Eat more, if you don't know, don't talk nonsense." He leaned closer to him again, put his head to his head, and whispered, "I want to take advantage of the fact that they are being caught off guard and find out what they mean, and you will accompany me to act." If the Huang family is interested and agrees to reconcile, and the grievances are written off, I will stop here, if they still want to jump, I will give them some taste! ”
