"Thank you." An Xiu'er saw the two wicked people leaving, her heart was relieved, she pursed her lips and smiled, took out a beautiful butterfly-shaped wrapper from the basket, handed it to Zhang Zhen'an, and said, "This is for you." ”

Zhang Zhen'an saw the things that the girl stuffed into his hands, and saw the back of the girl turning away, and he became more and more confused for a while, so he only put the things away and strode towards the end of the street.

An Xiuer came to the cloth shop alone and sold the rest of her strings to the proprietress of the cloth shop, more than a dozen threads, but it was exchanged for eight cents, and she bought some needlework and silk cloth to make handkerchiefs.

Put this yarn in the cloth shop to sell, and a penny of things can only be sold for half a penny, so An Xiuer will set up her own stall every time she goes to the street, and finally sell the rest to this shop.

The proprietress of this shop saw that her things were delicately woven, but she liked her very much, and saw that she bought things in her shop with the money from the sale, so she gave her some rags, which made An Xiuer quite happy, with these rags, plus those she had saved before, she could buy a new pair of soles.

"Thank you, hostess." An Xiu'er bowed to the proprietress before turning to leave.

Next, she went to choose a cigarette stick for Father An, and bought a blue-burning copper hairpin for Liang's family, after buying these, there were still a few pennies left, and when she saw that there were sweet potato candy sellers on the street, she spent ten yuan for one penny, and spent two pennies to buy two red-headed ropes for the eldest girl and two girls.

After buying these things, there were only two copper plates left on her body, and when she went back, she spent a penny to buy two mixed noodles steamed buns, and saw a poor little beggar looking at her with blank eyes, and divided one of his hands, and he took a steamed bun while walking and eating, this mixed noodles steamed bun tasted a little rough, but she felt very sweet.

In the afternoon, when the market was about to disperse, An Xiu'er walked to the end of the street and met several aunts in the village, who inevitably made fun of her when they saw her.

The villagers like to have a companion when they walk, and An Xiu'er is not in a hurry to go home, so she walks with them.

Passing by the place where the boat was taken, there were these women who had a little extra money in their hands, so they said hello to An Xiu'er and a few people, and prepared to take the boat home, this boat ride is not expensive, but it is just a penny, but An Xiu'er touched the only penny left in her pocket, and she was reluctant to give it up.

If you take the waterway, it is only three or five miles, but if you take the mountain road, you will go around in a big circle, which is a full ten miles.

Some aunts on the side saw that An Xiu'er didn't get on the boat, so they asked her with some curiosity: "Xiu'er, why don't you take the boat?" ”

You must know that An Xiu'er's father and mother have always doted on her, even if the family is poor, but every time she came to the market in the past, she almost never walked, so these women were a little surprised to see her walking back and forth today.

"My money bought something for my family." An Xiu'er pursed her lips and smiled, and replied, "It's okay to walk with a few aunts, just to see the scenery in the mountains." ”

"What's so nice about this poor mountain and bad water." A fat woman sneered, winced at An Xiu'er, and said, "You don't have money, but you can take a boat that doesn't cost you." ”

As she spoke, she motioned An Xiu'er to look at the river with her eyes, and An Xiu'er glanced at it and saw Zhang Zhen'an rowing the boat slowly drifting forward.

"Aren't you going to be his daughter-in-law? How about letting him give you a ride? The woman said, "That's right, let us also be naked." ”

Most of the people in the village are afraid of Zhang Zhen'an, but there are many people here, and An Xiu'er is here, so these women are also bolder.

"yes, yes." The other women responded one after another, also wanting to see what kind of person this Zhang Zhen'an was.

An Xiu'er didn't really want to take Zhang Zhen'an's boat, so she bowed her head and said, "This is not very good, right?" ”

"What's so bad?" These women looked at An Xiu'er and smiled, and another bold woman shouted directly at the boat, "Blind Zhang, your future daughter-in-law is here, won't you send her home?" ”

Zhang Zhen'an had already discovered this group of noisy women, but he had always ignored them, and at this moment he heard a woman calling him, so he raised his head and walked towards the shore, only to see that among the group of strong women, there was a girl in light green clothes, she was slender, standing in the middle of this group of women, really like a willow, delicate and lovely.

It turns out that she is the daughter-in-law she wants to marry? Zhang Zhenan finally understood why she was hiding behind herself when she was in the town just now.

As if sensing his gaze, An Xiu'er only glanced at him, then lowered her head, and was teased by this group of women, she felt that her face was burning badly.

Seeing that Zhang Zhen'an didn't speak for a long time, the group of women didn't say much, and only said to An Xiu'er: "It seems that this Zhang Zhen'an has a really strange temper, I heard that his boat has always not allowed others to sit, but I didn't expect that even you would refuse to take it." ”

When An Xiu'er heard the words of this group of women, she felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she smiled reluctantly: "We haven't married yet, and it's normal for him not to let me sit in order to avoid suspicion." ”

"What do you want to avoid? There are so many of us here. When a woman heard An Xiu'er's words, she retorted: "How can there be so many rules in our countryside, you have exchanged marriage certificates, you are his person, but you haven't passed the door yet." ”

"Yes, Xiu'er, you have to be careful when you marry in the future, looking at him like this, maybe like the butcher Li in the village, he likes to beat women the most." And one of the women said.

"Tut, if you want to say that the butcher Li in our village, he is really ruthless, look at him beating her daughter-in-law, that face is swollen, it has never been better." Another woman said.

"This blind man Zhang is even more eccentric than that Li butcher."

"Yes, yes, Xiu'er, you will marry in the future, but you have to be more careful."

They talked about these things in front of An Xiu'er without hesitation, as if An Xiu'er would be beaten in the future.

An Xiu'er lowered her eyes, she didn't know what kind of person Zhang Zhenan was, even in that yellow dream, she didn't pay attention to him, but she felt that Zhang Zhenan was not as terrible as they said, it was terrible, so she admitted it.

"Let's go." An Xiu'er calmly said to the women, she didn't want to talk about it with them.

"Come on." Just as An Xiu'er walked forward, Zhang Zhen'an rowed the boat to the side of the road, An Xiu'er stopped, looking at Zhang Zhen'an at the bow of the boat was quite flattered, and the women walked towards his boat with a smile.

They just said so much, they just wanted to take a downwind boat, An Xiu'er knew it in her heart.

"Xiu'er, what are you doing there? Come up? A woman pulled her, An Xiu'er stumbled, and stumbled into Zhang Zhen'an's boat.

is different from what she imagined, An Xiuer originally thought that he was fishing, and the boat must be full of fishy smell, but she didn't expect that there was no such strange smell in his boat, but it was cleaned up very cleanly.

The boat is not big, there is a table in the middle, there is a pot of wine on the table, several women said hello to Zhang Zhen'an, and they all found a place to sit down, the cabin is not big, An Xiuer saw that there was no room inside, she stood in the cabin, a little panicked.

"You go to the front." Some of the women talked to An Xiu'er and pushed her forward.

Perhaps Zhang Zhenan had allowed them to come to the cabin, and these women became bolder, and even made fun of Zhang Zhenan, saying: "Blind Zhang, look, how beautiful this daughter-in-law you marryed." ”

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be unseemly, and you have such good luck to marry a flower in our village."

An Xiu'er's face became redder and redder, and these women laughed when they looked at her embarrassment.

Actually, it's very good, An Xiu'er watched them make a lot of fun, and she also pursed her lips and smiled, how beautiful such a fresh day is.

An Xiu'er plucked up her courage to come to the bow of the boat, she stood behind Zhang Zhen'an, watching him row, there were several more people, the hull of the boat sank a little, but he shook the oars, but it was still relaxed.

Feeling An Xiu'er standing behind him, he didn't even raise his head, but just said, "You go and sit in the cabin, it's windy outside." ”

"It's okay, I'm blowing the wind, it's comfortable." An Xiuer replied.

Zhang Zhen'an ignored her when he heard this, An Xiu'er looked at him carefully, he was wearing black clothes, wearing a hat, burly, and exuding a chilling momentum on his body, which was indeed a little unapproachable.

An Xiu'er thought of the Li butcher in the village again, and the Li butcher was fierce and terrifying, but An Xiu'er felt that Li Butcher was not comparable to him at all, and she felt that Zhang Zhen'an was much better than Mrs. Li Tu.

After standing for a while, she took out a folding chair from her basket and sat down, the river is long, the blue waves are rippling, the green mountains and green waters on both sides, in fact, this Luoshui town is also very good.

The breeze gently blew her hair, in the past, An Xiu'er had never carefully looked at the familiar and ordinary scenery around her, but now it seems that it is also so beautiful.

This section of the road is smooth, Zhang Zhenan doesn't need to shake the oars, the boat can also go fast, he feels that An Xiu'er has always been behind him, he couldn't help but turn around, but saw her sitting quietly on the small stool, fair skin, a smile at the corner of her mouth, blending with the green hills, like a person who came out of this landscape painting.

He hadn't seriously looked at her appearance, before today, she didn't even know who she was, she only heard the matchmaker say that she was beautiful, but he didn't care, he just wanted to marry a woman and start a family, not to mention, how beautiful can such a small mountain village be?

However, at this moment, her demure and soft appearance was like a willow leaf falling from a tree, gently falling into his heart, causing ripples.
