Chapter 44: Red Apricot Out of the Wall

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, in addition to the children's door-to-door New Year's greetings, adults will also go door-to-door to say good to the new year.

Zhao Cuiping's dress today is radiant, comparing the other women in the village, no matter who she goes to, except for the particularly honest ones, the men of that family will look at them twice. It caused many people's mothers-in-law to be dissatisfied.

A widow's family, dressed like this, doesn't know who to show it! However, no one can say anything during the New Year, and no matter how dissatisfied they are in their hearts, they still have to greet each other with a smile on their faces.

Zhao Cuiping wants this effect, after all, her man has been dead for several years.

She was only fifteen when she gave birth to a big girl, and she was only twenty-eight years old after the New Year this year, how could she be willing to be a widow in peace? Although she looked down on these men in the village, she enjoyed these greedy glances, which proved that she still had charm and was more attractive than these rough women in the village.

Zhao Cuiping and a few women in the village were drinking tea in another house and chatting with the family, the man's eyes had been glancing at Zhao Cuiping intentionally or unintentionally, only to see that the hostess's face was getting darker and darker, and suddenly, she had a plan and said to Zhao Cuiping: "Alas, have you heard that the Zhang family is back." ”

"You mean, Little Martial Father?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter if you don't go home on weekdays, you have to come back for the New Year. Now Xiao Wu Niang is afraid that she will die of happiness. ”

Another person: "That must be happy to kill her, Xiao Wu Dad is the most capable man in our village, I happened to bump into the two of them when I came, Xiao Wu Dad was dressed up, and at first glance it was different from those men in our village, people looked very energetic, Xiao Wu Niang stood beside him, I didn't know and thought it was his mother." ”

After a group of women chewed the base of their tongues, the jealousy in their hearts was somewhat gone.

The man on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "Okay, okay, what is it wrong to talk about! What does it have to do with you if someone has the ability, and it's not your man!"

Those women were immediately silenced, and Zhao Cuiping listened to it, and became a little itchy, "That, you talk first, I'll go back first." ”

After Zhao Cuiping left, those women glanced at each other, and they all had comprehension expressions.

Zhao Cuiping did not go home, but came to Zhang's house. Because she had a holiday with Xiao Wuniang, standing at the door of Zhang's house, she hadn't gone inside for a long time, and the Zhang family would definitely not welcome her.

Zhao Cuiping was about to leave, Xiao Wu's father came to the courtyard, and when he saw Zhao Cuiping who was still charming in front of the door, he was stunned and said, "Big girl, are you here to pay New Year's greetings?"

Zhao Cuiping turned her head and saw that Xiao Wu's father was wearing the Confucian shirt worn by a cultural person, and his hair was meticulously tied. The skin is white. Although there were a few wrinkles on his face, he was much better than the other men in the village.

When Zhao Cuiping saw it, she couldn't help but feel a little itchy, and said with a smile: "Because of the divorce, I had a little conflict with Sister Zhang, but I still didn't go in." ”

Xiao Wu's father thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Then don't go in, I just want to go out for a walk, or let's go together?"

This can be said to be a naked invitation, Zhao Cuiping pretended to be shy and nodded.

Zhao Cuiping followed Xiao Wu's father to avoid the people in the village as much as possible, and came to the outside of the village, and Xiao Wu's father looked at Zhao Cuiping boldly.

Although this widow is already the mother of three children, she is well maintained, and she is much better than his mother-in-law.

Seeing that there was no one nearby, Xiao Wu's father said in a somewhat frivolous tone: "I haven't seen you for a long time, the eldest girl is really getting more and more beautiful." ”

"It's over, how many days will you go home for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"I'll leave in a few days, don't you take advantage of the opening of the inn to tell us about our Xiaowu going to the school next year. ”

"Yes, your Xiao Wu is afraid that he is the first boy in the village to read and write, and thanks to a capable father like you. ”

Xiao Wu's father didn't answer, he was a little impatient with too much nonsense, and when he saw that there was no one around, he stretched out his hand and held Zhao Cuiping's hand. Zhao Cuiping pretended to try to withdraw her hand at first, but Xiao Wu's father clenched it a little tighter, and she gave up resisting.

Xiao Wu's father said: "Big girl, I'll leave in two days, why don't you go to the county seat with me to have fun?"

The meaning of the invitation could not be more obvious, Zhao Cuiping did not refuse, and nodded with a red face.

After the year, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Cuiping said that she wanted to go back to her parents' house, Mrs. Yu was a little dissatisfied, the widow's family, what happened to running to her parents' house every day!

But as soon as Zhao Cuiping said that she would bring things back, Mrs. Yu relented and agreed.

Yu Sanya originally wanted to go back with her, after all, every time she went back to her grandmother's house, she could eat a lot of delicious food, but this time Zhao Cuiping didn't agree because of the trouble.

The Yu family didn't pay much attention to this, but when Zhao Cuiping said that when she went to the county seat with the Zhang family's ox cart, Yunqing, who knew what Zhao Cuiping had done in her previous life, was a little more distracted.

The man Zhao Cuiping cheated on in the previous life was none other than Zhang Xiaowu's father, Yunqing inadvertently broke the two together in her previous life, but she was timid and afraid at that time, and she never said anything about it until she died, so it became a secret and rotted in the soil.

In this life, she won't let Zhao Cuiping have a better time!

When Zhao Cuiping was packing up her things, Yun Qing came to Rong Cheng's room: "Brother Cheng, can I ask you something?"

Rong Cheng: "......"

This is the first time that Yu Daya has begged him seriously, although he has troubled him before, he has never been so serious. Rong Cheng was slightly stunned: "You say." ”

......

As soon as Zhao Cuiping left in the Zhang family's ox cart, Rong Cheng found Mrs. Yu and said that she wanted to go home to do some things, and wanted to take Yu Daya back for a few days.

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she agreed without saying a word. Rong Cheng wanted to go home, she naturally couldn't stop her, but she didn't expect to take the eldest girl with her, what does this mean?

After Mrs. Yu agreed, Rong Cheng did not delay, and set off with Yunqing in a carriage.

Yun Qing didn't tell Rong Cheng in detail what she was going to do, but Rong Cheng could see that Yu Daya was not messing around anymore. Anyway, it's not a big deal to go to the county seat, but it's rare for this girl to ask him, and he agreed.

The carriage was relatively fast, and after arriving at the county seat, Yun Qing saw the Zhang family's ox cart with sharp eyes, and Yun Qing immediately shouted to stop. said to Rong Cheng: "Brother Cheng, I'll go around by myself first, you find an inn first, I'm sorry for you, I'll pay for the accommodation this time." ”

Rong Cheng glanced at her suspiciously, how did he think that Yu Daya was mysterious, but he didn't delve into it, but only said: "I'm not short of such a little silver, I'll go to the largest inn in the county, and you can find it in a while." ”

"Thank you. Yun Qing said, but still took out two taels of silver from his arms and said, "Stay for two days first, I don't know how much the biggest restaurant costs for room and board, if it's not enough, I owe you." ”

With that, he immediately got out of the carriage and followed in the direction of the ox cart. Rong Cheng looked at the two taels of silver in his hand and sighed helplessly.

Yunqing chased the ox cart all the way to an inn, Xu was a thief, and Xiao Wu's father did not look for the inn where he worked. After seeing the two get out of the car, they entered the inn and opened a room.

After the two of them went up to the second floor, Yun Qing came to the inn, gave the account room a few copper plates, and asked, "I want you to inquire about something, how many rooms did those two people ask for just now?"

"You little girl, what are you asking, people look like two people, so they naturally want a room!"

Yunqing: "......!!"
