"Thank you." Daddy An stretched out his thin hand to hold Zhang Zhenan's broad palm, and muttered:

"Xiu'er will ask you in the future, she has suffered a lot since she was born, and her mother and I have always pitied her, but even so, many times I still can't take care of her. When she was three years old, she had a serious illness, and the doctor in the village couldn't cure her, so I had no choice, so I took her to the town every day for acupuncture, and her shoes were worn out several pairs, and when she was seven years old, she ...... again."

Father An held Zhang Zhen'an's palm and told An Xiu'er what happened from childhood to adulthood one by one, Liang listened while turning his back and secretly wiping his tears, An Xiu'er listened to this, and her tears couldn't help but fall.

Gu Linlang felt bored, taking advantage of this opportunity, he secretly took a few steps back and left quietly.

After a long time, Daddy finished babbling these words, but he didn't let go of Zhang Zhenan's hand, but saw that Gu Linlang was not there, and said two words secretly:

"Brother Zhang, I can tell you this, my Xiu'er is definitely not the kind of person who will say bad things about you behind your back, I am not afraid that you will blame you, I call you by the alias given to you by the village people with her mother on weekdays, and she wants to talk about us when she hears it."

"Yes, she told us, marry a chicken and marry a dog, and we will all be a family in the future." Liang also said on the side.

"I know, I don't have to explain." Father An said for half an hour, but Zhang Zhenan only replied with six words.

"Hehe, then I won't talk about it, I'm afraid you will misunderstand." Father Ann explained again.

"No, it won't." Zhang Zhenan replied indifferently.

"This just happened, and now it's dark, why don't you stay and eat?" Liang suggested.

"Nope." Zhang Zhenan still refused, nodded to Father An and the others, turned around and went out the door.

After Zhang Zhen'an left, the flower matchmaker finally found a chance to speak, she was not as much as she loved and shy Gu Linlang before, but said with some displeasure: "If you want to say that this Gu master is also really nosy, how can you say this casually?" "It's disgusting that I almost didn't even get the gift money.

In the eyes of the flower matchmaker, although Gu Linlang is good-looking, what is it compared to money?

"yes, but he's also kind." Liang said: "It's just the wrong way. ”

Dong, who was sitting next to Liang, pursed her lips and didn't speak, but she didn't think so in her heart, she had inadvertently seen An Xiu'er alone with Gu Linlang by the river, at that time, An Xiu'er's admiration in her eyes was not a fake, it seemed that her sister-in-law was decided, and she was really a general knowledge.

"Xiu'er, if Master Gu wants to help you, don't you, this Zhang Zhen'an is the person you choose, don't complain about your father and mother in the future." Liang felt that An Xiu'er was really stupid, if she had admitted it at that time, maybe she would really be able to be with Gu Linlang, in Liang's eyes, her daughter was born beautiful, and it was okay to be with Gu Linlang, but on the contrary, this girl was so sincere.

With a sigh, she wiped her tears and said: "Since the matter has been negotiated, it will not be a few days before you get married, these days, you don't go to send food to Rong He, rest at home, and make a wedding dress." ”

The next day, Liang didn't know where to find a red cloth and asked An Xiu'er to make a dress by herself.

Due to the rush of time, An's family is poor, and when it comes to the day of marriage, in addition to the red wedding dress that An Xiuer wears, she has nothing for the rest of the bedding and furniture that should be married in the countryside, and the second brother, who can do carpentry, wanted to cut down the big locust tree in the yard to make some furniture for her a few days ago, but An Xiuer also refused.

The second brother is the main laborer of the family, and now he is busy with farming, so he can't waste this precious spring plowing time because he has to make a dowry for her.

couldn't resist An Xiu'er, in the end, they just hurried up the mountain, cut down two trees, made some practical buckets and pots, and An Xiu'er wore some torn clothes at home on weekdays, as well as the two wooden boxes that the Liang family married to An's house back then, these are considered dowries.

These things, even in this countryside, are a bit shabby. Relatives and friends have long heard that she had to marry Zhang Zhenan for money, and naturally she can't get by on the face, so on the day of marriage, she only came in a hurry, gave some gifts like egg purses, and left in a hurry after a meal.

Zhang Zhen'an is even less than the village people on weekdays, with a few sedan chair men in the village, hurriedly parked the sedan chair at the door of his house, the flower matchmaker led her into the door, walked with Zhang Zhen'an, and then placed An Xiuer in the new house, and left in a hurry.

An Xiu'er sat on the edge of the bed, listening to the sparse sound of firecrackers in her ears, and the corners of her mouth slowly curved upward, revealing a somewhat bitter smile.

thought she was ready, but the shabby degree of this marriage was still beyond her expectations, and she couldn't help but have red eyes when she remembered what her mother explained when she went out.

"The water spilled by the daughter who got married."

In a woman's life, in addition to her mother's family, it is her husband's family, where is her own home?

Feeling a little irritable for no reason, she pulled off the hijab on her head, and as soon as she threw the hijab, Zhang Zhenan walked in.

This is something that An Xiu'er can't accept, she wonders if he is bald, or is there another reason? Why do you have to wear a hat? Even on the day of marriage, his outfit was still the same as before, and she couldn't see that he attached the slightest importance to this marriage.

However, Zhang Zhenan was still a little embarrassed when she saw her tearing off the hijab without permission, which was her rudeness.

"It's so hot with my hijab over my head that I'm a little out of breath." An Xiu'er was worried about what he would think in his heart, so she explained to him.

"It's fine." He didn't care about the clinker at all.

An Xiu'er was a little uncomfortable, but knowing that his temperament has always been like this, he didn't blame her for this, which was already very good.

The newlyweds, who didn't know each other before, sat together, it was really a little embarrassing, and after a while, Zhang Zhenan turned around and went out, An Xiuer was puzzled, and saw him bring a bowl of rice and two side dishes, and said, "You must be hungry today, let's eat something first." ”

"Thank you." Only then did An Xiuer know that he had gone out to get food for herself, so she took the rice and ate it in small bites.

The white rice is very sweet, and it is very soft in the mouth, and the An family is poor, so it is good to have rice to eat, this kind of white rice is only willing to eat once or twice when it is harvested every autumn, and An Xiuer almost forgets the taste of this white rice.

Zhang Zhenan stood aside, and saw her eating elegantly with chopsticks, with a sharp chin and small cherry lips one by one, I only felt that her side face was soft and very good-looking.

After eating, An Xiu'er put down the dishes and chopsticks, felt a little embarrassed again, looked up at him, and really didn't know how to get along with him, just asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

"I just ate with the villagers." Zhang Zhenan replied, he saw that An Xiuer was a little uncomfortable, so he excused himself to clean the yard and left first.

Zhang Zhen'an has no friends in this village, and there is no one to make trouble in the cave house, and as soon as the person who gave the marriage leaves, the courtyard will be a little deserted.

An Xiu'er walked out of the door and looked at this small courtyard carefully, it was not big, only three broken thatched huts, these houses were originally abandoned by a family in the village, and then Zhang Zhen'an came, and happened to need a place to live, so he bought it, cleaned it up, and added some fences outside, which could barely be used to live in people.

This house is by the river, standing outside, the river wind is blowing, and the humidity is pressing.

An Xiu'er didn't find Zhang Zhen'an in the courtyard, and she was afraid that he would see that it was inappropriate for him to come out later, so she went into the house again.

As their new house, this bedroom is too shabby, An Xiuer originally thought that the An family was poor, but she lived in a tiled house with earthen ramparts, which was also clean, and in this house, you could see a few grasses pulled down from the roof when you looked up.

The dilapidated windows, the white paper pasted in winter have not been torn off, blowing in the wind, rattling, a simple and somewhat terrible big red letter, I don't know who kindly pasted it, but it also added two traces of joy to the house.

Except for the two wooden boxes she had brought with her, there was nothing but a simple bed made of bricks and planks underneath her, a wooden table, two benches, and a broken cupboard.

An Xiu'er sighed, marrying himself, he spent a lot of money, if he didn't spend this money, he could take care of this house, but it didn't matter, he must help him take care of this family in the future, just now he was able to care about her hunger, and came to bring her food, which made her have a lot of confidence in him, and she believed that she could live a good life.

Reluctant not to clean up the room, she sat upright on the bed, and in this somewhat bleak atmosphere, night gradually fell.

Zhang Zhenan didn't have the slightest awareness of his newlywed today, he sat on the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and he had caught a lot of fish by his side.

Seeing that it was dark, he put away the rod, got up from the boat, carried the fish basket, and walked unhurriedly to his home.

On the way, I met someone who occasionally passed by, and when I saw him like this, I couldn't help but sigh again, and said in my heart that this person was really weird, and he came to fish on the wedding day.

An Xiu'er didn't know all this, she sat there, heard the wooden door creak, she pursed her lips, guessing that it might be Zhang Zhen'an came back, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Zhang Zhen'an took off his clothes that were stained with fish, took a cold shower in the kitchen, and warmed up some of the leftover meals from noon before bringing them to the door.

When An Xiu'er saw him come in, her heart, which was beating wildly just now, gradually calmed down, she stood up, moved the kettle on the table a little, and helped him bring down the food on the tray.

The two sat opposite each other, An Xiu'er found out that something was wrong, it turned out that he had taken off the hat on his head, and even the black cloth covering his eyes had been removed, she secretly looked at him while taking a small bite of rice, Zhang Zhenan noticed her small movements, so he glanced at her sideways and said, "But the food is not to taste?" ”

"It's delicious." An Xiu'er whispered.

"Then why do you look at me so often?" Zhang Zhenan was puzzled.
