Chapter 017: The Sour Scholar and the Defilement Liquor (4)
The winter melon mixed with the tofu fell into the snow with a subtle "bang" sound.
"Bowl, my bowl is off." Bai Li bent down to pick up the bowl, but saw Chunliu's head roll back like a leather ball. In the blink of an eye, she bit the edge of the bowl tightly with her mouth, and her eyes grew redder than they had just appeared.
"Sister Chunliu, you loosen your mouth, even if you are a ghost, you can't catch the bowl and bite it." said it easily on the lips, but secretly drummed in his heart, who knows if this Chunliu will suddenly swallow the bowl, and swallow it even with her hand.
"Your life is almost gone, what bowl are you still picking up?" Old man Tao appeared behind Chunliu, put on a posture of zama step, and picked up the pitch-black rolling pin in his hand again.
Harukyu sensed the danger behind her, and her long hair writhed like a snake and struck backwards.
Old Man Tao first jumped to his feet, and then tentatively touched Xia Chunliu's hair with the rolling pin in his hand. As soon as they touched it, the hair seemed to have found its target, and it curled up the rolling pin with great speed. Then he learned from Old Man Tao and began to greet him.
Don't look at Old Man Tao's age, and he is shriveled and thin, these limbs are still quite flexible, no matter how Chunliu's hair is murderous, he can easily dodge it.
"Master, I didn't expect you to be a martial arts master, is this jumping up and down kung fu considered light skills."
"What kind of talk are you playing, didn't you see that I was trying to create a chance for you to escape, master?" Old man Tao first rolled his eyes, and then Nunu mouthed and motioned to the white glass pine bowl.
Bai Li glanced at Chunliu and saw that she had bitten the bowl to death, so she cautiously let go of her hand. As soon as he let go, the porcelain bowl shattered. Before Bai Li came back to her senses, her arm was bitten by Chunliu.
If you want to cry without tears, you really want to cry without tears.
As a burst of pain invaded the skin, Bai Li saw a scene in a trance.
Chunliu walked in front, Zhang Xi chased behind, and just when Chunliu was about to push the door into the house, Zhang Xi, who suddenly rushed up, hugged him from behind.
Chunliu said: "Brother Zhang Xi, if you let go, it's not good for people to see it." ”
Zhang Xi said: "What can you do if you see it? We have been married, and my mother has agreed with your father and mother that we will get married after this while.
Chunliu lowered her head, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, and she said, "Brother Zhang Xi, don't lie to me, I heard what Aunt Zhang said in the village." ”
"Don't you know my mother's temperament? She's good at everything, but she has a mouth that doesn't speak very well. Zhang Xi explained as he let go of his hand: "Chunliu, you should know what I do to you." I, Zhang Xi, am not that kind of swinger, as early as the night I carried you back, I decided that you were my lady. It's just that I'm not in high school yet, so I don't dare to marry you easily. Although you are not a daughter, but you are a rich lady in my heart, I am reluctant to let you be wronged with me. ”
Chunliu's heart moved, turned around, and raised a pair of autumn eyes to look at Zhang Xi: "I'm not afraid of being wronged with you." ”
"I'm afraid!" Zhang Xi held Chunliu's hand: "I carried you that day, relying on courage, although I only carried you for a short distance, it made me unforgettable." Chunliu, do you know that every night I dream, I dream of that scene. But the more I dreamed, the more uneasy my heart became, I was afraid, I was afraid, I was afraid that I was not good enough, I was afraid that if you followed me, I would delay you. ”
"Brother Zhang Xi." Chunliu let out a low cry and covered Zhang Xi's mouth: "Don't say that, who in our village doesn't know, you are the best." ”
"Do you really think so?" Zhang Xi stretched out his hand, first encircled Chunliu's thin waist, and then moved forward, so that Chunliu just threw himself into his arms: "Chunliu, promise me, don't blame my mother, okay?" I know it's difficult, but Chunliu, whenever I hear my mother say those words, I feel even more uncomfortable than you, I hate myself for not being able to protect you well, I hate myself for letting you be wronged. But she is my mother, even if I don't agree with it in my heart, I can't reprimand her face to face. This is unfilial piety, and it will be struck by thunder from the sky. ”
"I know, Brother Zhang Xi, don't worry, I won't blame Aunt Zhang, I understand that she has no intentions." Chunliu leaned on Zhang Xi's arms with a shyly face: "Brother Zhang Xi, as long as you are here, I don't feel wronged." ”
Zhang Xi gently stroked Chunliu's back, and his eyes flashed with a complicated light. After being silent for a long time, he coughed lightly, and said as if he was a little embarrassed: "Chunliu, you also know that I have two younger brothers in my family, who are young and can't stand hunger. I think...... I want to ask you, do you have any surplus food at home, and coarse grain is fine. I'm a little, I just need a little, even if it's a bowl of gruel for them. ”
"Brother Zhang Xi, I-"
"I know, you don't need to say it, I know that your family is also in difficulty, even if there is some surplus food, you have to eat it for your father and mother." Zhang Xi suddenly let go of his hand and quickly turned his back: "It's all because I'm useless, I've read so many sage books, but none of them teach me how to fill my family's stomach." ”
"Brother Zhang Xi, don't say that." Chunliu wanted to reach out to pull Zhang Xi, but he deliberately avoided him.
"People say that useless is a scholar, but I don't believe it." Zhang Xi slumped his shoulders: "Until today, I don't know that the person who said these words is right." In this world, the most useless people are people like us who read books. Chunliu, go back, your father and mother should be in a hurry. ”
Chunliu looked at Zhang Xi's appearance, pursed her lips vigorously, and then whispered: "Brother Zhang Xi, you wait for me for a while." ”
Chunliu quietly entered the courtyard and came out after a long time. In her hand she held a bag about the size of a sachet and opened it to reveal a small handful of wheat.
"Brother Zhang Xi, this is the wheat seed left by my father's mother, I originally thought that I would use it for planting when the drought has passed."
"Haruliu, thank you." Zhang Xi said, and he was going to get it.
Chunliu hesitated slightly, and withdrew his hand again: "Brother Zhang Xi, this is the only wheat left in my family." ”
"I know, I know, Chunliu, don't worry, I will pay you back tenfold and hundredfold."
"Brother Zhang Xi, I didn't mean that." Chunliu lowered his head: "My father and mother still have some money to buy seeds, but there is a war outside, and there is chaos everywhere, except for those officials, no one dares to go to the town." Coupled with the drought in the village, even if I buy seeds, I can't plant them. I'll give you this, and you can make some Western porridge for your younger brothers first. ”
Chunliu stretched out his hand, and Zhang Xi took away the small bag containing the wheat seeds.
"Chunliu, you are really my good Chunliu." Zhang Xi said, leaned over to Chunliu, and gently kissed her on the cheek.
Chunliu looked shy, hurriedly turned around, pushed open the courtyard door, and went home.
