Chapter 17: An Zhiqian
Aunt An went up the mountain this time, and was sent up by Alina, who carried a whole bag of cotton, and Aunt An carried a basket of fabric.
"Thank you Lina, stay here and eat before leaving, the wind and snow are so big, and only you are willing to help me. "It's past noon, and Aunt An is going to cook a meal for Alina.
"No need Aunt An, this is what I should do, and you help our family a lot on weekdays. "Alina is a young man in his early 20s, with a very strong body, big eyes, thick eyelashes, and some dark skin.
"Brother An, stay here to eat, I left in a hurry last time, and I didn't entertain you well, I'll cook it with my aunt, and the meal will be fine in a while." "After all, he is a guest, and he has been helping Aunt An, and she still understands this bit of human affection.
"I'm not a picky eater, just make something to eat. Alina smiled at Mi Piaoxue, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth.
Aunt An steamed white rice, Mi Piaoxue went outside to take a piece of frozen meat, and cut it into thin slices with a sharp knife, because there was no preparation, only a few dishes could be made simply, since Aunt An went up the mountain, there were radishes, cabbage, potatoes at home, Aunt An would also make all kinds of pickles and salted meat, it was not very difficult to cook a meal, watching Mi Piaoxue and Aunt An busy cooking, An Lina picked up the firewood knife and went to the mountain to cut two large bundles of firewood and carried it back.
"It's time to eat, but we want to invite you to dinner, not for you to work. Aunt An smiled and looked at Alina, Alina and her family are neighbors, Aunt An grew up watching from a young age, this child is loyal and honest, and has a lot of strength to work, if he can be with Piaoxue, he will definitely take Piaoxue as a baby, Aunt An looked at Alina, and then looked at Mipiaoxue, and couldn't help but smile deeper.
"There's no special preparation, just let you eat some homely meals, don't blame the lady for being inconsiderate. Mi Piaoxue helped Anlina put a bowl of white rice, and Aunt An sandwiched a few pieces of meat and put them in Anlina's bowl.
"Auntie, I have no mother since I was a child, you have always taken care of me, how can you say such polite words? What do you need to call me in the future, the wind and snow are heavy, you are not young, the mountain road is difficult to walk, what if something happens? I usually hunt, and I will only go to farm when I can grow crops, and there is time. An Lina said sincerely, Mi Piaoxue was a little surprised, she always thought that An Lina was a shy big boy, but she didn't expect him to have a meticulous side.
"I know, I know, good boy, when the eldest mother needs anything in the future, I will call you, and you can also go up the mountain to accompany the snow more when you are free, and tell her about the things down the mountain, you young people have something to say." ”
After eating, Aunt An watched An Lina go down the mountain, and she walked into the house with a smile.
"I brought a lot of fabric with me today, and from tomorrow onwards, we can make the kind of cartoon cat you said, this batch of us is not too big, I want to take it to the market to see how it goes, and when I save more money, I can buy new clothes for Piaoxue." ”
"Auntie, this plush toy is very simple to make, it doesn't hurt your eyes as much as embroidery, and you don't have to work so hard. ”
"Piaoxue, what do you think of Anlina? Although he is a little older, he is picky, his mother died when he was young, and the two of them have always depended on each other, although they are not rich in the village, but they also have a little money in their hands, and many girls like him. ”
"Auntie, what are you telling me to do this? I'm still young, and I treat him like an older brother. Mi Piaoxue's face flushed, is Aunt An going to marry herself?
"Yes, yes, we are still young in Piaoxue, only 17 years old, we can only go down the mountain next year, now we just need to make money with peace of mind, you can rest assured, the eldest mother will definitely save you a rich dowry, whoever marries us Piaoxue will be happy." ”
In the following days, two people were busy making cartoon cats every day, this is much simpler than embroidery, it took ten days, all the raw materials were used up, the house was full of cartoon cats of all sizes, some were pillows, some were long pillows, and some were just a small plush toy, which looked cute and cute.
"Tomorrow is the market, I will take these things to the market, or send them to the embroidery shop I know, the weather is about to get warmer, we also need to buy some seeds, this is very close to Mochizuki Creek, as long as the land is reclaimed, there should be a bumper harvest, so we can save ourselves from carrying food down the mountain." Under the guidance of Mi Piaoxue, Aunt An also learned to read the calendar, she pointed to the calendar and said.
"Is it almost planting season? But I see that there is snow and ice everywhere, can I grow crops?"
"You, I see that you really have an illness and burned your head, our ice and snow village has been like this for generations, why have you forgotten everything? It's about to enter June, maybe one day when you open your eyes, all the ice and snow will melt, everything will grow, the flowers will bloom, the grass will be green, at that time, the crops we planted will be the same day by day, watered with the water of Mochizuki Creek, will accelerate the maturity, sell these dolls, I will buy some seeds, in a few days we will reclaim some land, you just wait to be busy." ”
Unconsciously, it was already the middle of May, with Aunt An's company, Mi Piaoxue felt that the days passed quickly, but the number of meetings with An Yanyue was less, remembering the last time she was angry for no reason, what were you angry about?
On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Aunt An packed up her things and went down the mountain, after Aunt An left, Mi Piaoxue picked out a cartoon cat that she liked very much, shouted twice at the woods, the reindeer ran out, and she rode the reindeer to her and An Darkyue's home.
"Dark Moon, are you there?" Mi Piaoxue climbed up the camphor tree and pushed open the door, and saw a blonde girl sitting in the room, holding the cartoon cat pillow she brought last time, she was wearing a pink princess dress, and the layers of lace set off her like a doll.
"You...... Who are you?" Mi Piaoxue asked in surprise, this is another Westerner! But she is different from An Biqi, An Biqi is a person full of great wisdom at a glance, and her eyes make Mi Piaoxue afraid, but this little girl is different, her eyes are as blue as the sea, shining with holy light.
"Are you Mi Piaoxue? I'm An Zhiqian, I'm An Yanyue's sister, I secretly came to your room, you won't be angry, right?" The girl stood up, she was not just a little girl as Mi Piaoxue imagined, she was only a little shorter than Mi Piaoxue, her body was bumpy, her hair was very long, shining with golden light, and it hung down to her waist.
"I'm Mi Piaoxue, and you're An Darkyue's sister, but your looks ......?"
"The two of us don't look alike, don't we? brother, he looks more like my father, and I look like my mother, don't I look beautiful?" An Zhiqian blinked her big smart eyes, and Mi Piaoxue nodded.
"You're very pretty, the prettiest Western girl I've ever seen. ”
As my brother said, you are not very beautiful, but you have a special smell on your body, which makes us like it inexplicably, are you willing to be friends with me?
"Will An Dark Moon beat someone? I won't let him hit you, I like you, and I'm willing to be friends with you. An Zhiqian stretched out her hand, her hand was white and slender, a little cold like An Dianyue, but it was as soft as a bone, Mi Piaoxue also stretched out her hand, and the two hands were tightly clasped together, but she didn't expect that she had another good friend.
