Chapter XVII Minor Problem Children
Meimei enjoyed a big meal, and Xia Fan's gobbling up scared everyone, as if a starving ghost was reincarnated.
The second uncle only cared about toasting Gao Wenshan, serving Xia Fan vegetables, and slapping horses with a meal. is very different from the usual high-spirited style, when Lin Xiaolan learned that the inconspicuous old man in front of her was actually a monk, she couldn't help but be extremely surprised, and really responded to the sentence "People can't be good-looking." ”
Xiuxia cleaned up a little, and her appearance was a little similar to Lin Xiaolan, slim and slim. At this moment, he was in charge of pouring wine and adding food, looking at Xia Fan and laughing in his heart: "Why does this person eat like this?"
Xia Fan saw Xiuxia smiling and staring at him strangely, only then did he realize that his movements were extremely indecent, and hurriedly put down the chicken leg in his hand and sat back on the chair. Tie Zhu always had an expression, and after a glass of wine, he quietly watched the second uncle's performance.
Wine over three rounds of food over five flavors.
Xia Fan couldn't eat anymore. Swallowing the food in his mouth hard, he got up and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Patriarch Li, for your hospitality." He smiled at Xiuxia again, "Thank you too." Seeing this, the second uncle was thoughtful, and he didn't know that he was thinking about Shi Lin Xiaolan finishing the table and finishing the scraps, so he motioned for Xiuxia to retreat together. Only Tie Zhu, Second Uncle, Gao Wenshan and Xia Fan were left in the room. The second uncle thought for a moment and said with a smile to Xia Fan: "I don't know how old the little monk is this year?
"Huh?"
Xia Fan was stunned suddenly, he didn't know what to say, thinking that he was less than 16 years old! He was a high school student! As for getting married, he hadn't even thought about it! For a while, he didn't know how to answer.
Tie Zhu thought again in his heart: "I don't know what kind of medicine this old guy sells gourd chicken?"
Gao Wenshan was also confused, and he suddenly acted as a matchmaker for Xia Fan, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Xia Fan put down the sheep's hoof in his left hand, wiped the oil on his hand, and hurriedly said: "Elder Li, I'm not a monk, don't call me a monk, as for whether to marry or not..."
Before he finished speaking, the second uncle deliberately interrupted: "Since this little brother is unwilling, then forget it." ”
Gao Wenshan's heart suddenly became angry: "Is this old boy very good at doing things?"
Snorted coldly, and said to the second uncle: "This little brother and I hit it off at first sight, and now he is not a monk, I will also make him a monk." ”
When the second uncle heard this, his heart was cold, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "I still don't want to be a Xia Gongzi, mainly because I will never dare to be strong." His eyes rolled and he said: "I see that Xia Gongzi is handsome and chic, the jade tree is in the wind, and he will be a dragon and phoenix among people in the future, and the future is unlimited, let me congratulate Gongzi in advance and give Xia Gongzi a cup." After that, he really picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses in a row, which meant to make amends for what he had just said, and then poured another full glass, got up and said to Xia Fan: "Childe, please!"
Xia Fan was also interesting to watch the second uncle's actor-level performance, but where had he ever drunk farmhouse mixed wine, and as soon as the wine entered his throat, he immediately coughed. I couldn't stop shouting, "It's so spicy!" The second uncle saw Xia Fan drink it. sat back in the chair and said with a leisurely smile: "Young Master Xia, I don't know what you think of me, Xiuxia's granddaughter?"
Xia Fan hurriedly said: "I'm only sixteen years old, and I haven't thought about getting married yet." ”
Tie Zhu was suddenly angry, Li Laishun actually fought this idea! I see! He said calmly: "Xiuxia is not yet old enough to leave the cabinet, isn't the second uncle too anxious?"
Tie Zhu's tone was indifferent, but the second uncle didn't care, and actually said to himself: "Even if the coming-of-age ceremony is not passed, whose girl doesn't find a good in-law first?"
Xia Fan was stunned, it turned out that the customs and habits here were no different from those of feudal society, and the age of marriage was so young! A woman was about to be arranged to marry after the coming-of-age ceremony, and the words of the matchmaker of her parents were all fulfilled. Gao Wenshan saw that the two of them were not good-looking, and said, "If my little brother is unwilling, I will forget it." ”
Seeing Gao Wenshan say this, Tie Zhu glanced at Gao Wenshan with a little deep meaning, thinking in his heart, but he didn't know what the old monk's intentions were, so he simply braked quietly.
Seeing that the two of them were suddenly silent, the atmosphere was really embarrassing, and the second uncle was immediately overjoyed. thought to himself: "If this young man does not agree, and the woman of the patriarch's family is looked down upon by ordinary young people, then this matter will break the face of his patriarch, if this young man is willing..." Hmph, it's better if this iron pillar doesn't agree! ”
The second uncle felt as if he had won the battle, so he said unhurriedly: "Isn't it that Xia Gongzi looks down on Xiuxia?" Several people looked at Xia Fan fiercely, Xia Fan was stared at by these people at the same time, extremely uncomfortable, and after a closer look, Xia Fan was surprised to find that he seemed to understand these three pairs of eyes, one was joking, one was looking forward to, and the other was insidious and cunning.
After pondering for a while, Xia Fan got up embarrassedly, picked up a glass of wine and said slowly: "Uncles, uncles, what about me Xia Fan, just an ordinary person, in the words of our teacher, is a minor problem child, and it is really not worthy of Xiuxia, and besides, in our place, if I get married at my age, my parents will not agree." ”
Tie Zhu saw that Xia Fan seemed to be sincere, without the slightest arrogance, and his hanging heart was also put down, and he smiled slightly: "Xia Gongzi is so modest at a young age, and he respects his parents so much, the life of his parents, and the words of the matchmaker, if it is the same, this marriage will not be successful, since this is the case, it seems that my family Xiuxia does not have that blessing." “
Xia Fan was stunned, and hurriedly explained: "How come, it's me who deserves ....." was about to speak, but was suddenly stopped by Gao Wenshan and signaled not to say anything more.
At this time, Tie Zhu picked up another glass of wine and said happily: "Mr. Gao, Mr. Xia, I don't know what the two of you have planned?" Xia Fan hadn't thought about it yet, and didn't know how to answer, he looked at Gao Wenshan, Gao Wenshan thought about his injury and said slowly: "My brother and I want to rest here for a few days?
Before Tie Zhu could speak, the second uncle took a step forward and said: "It's convenient and convenient, even if you live, my house is spacious, and there are two empty rooms left for the two of you to rest." Gao Wenshan thanked him. Tie Zhu originally wanted to keep the two of them at home, because he never knew the details, this young man was good, simple and humble, but the old monk never saw through, and the two female dependents in the family were extremely inconvenient. It just so happened that the second uncle said this, and he happened to follow his own heart. said: "There is Second Uncle Lao." Tie Zhu sent the three of them to the door and said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, see you in the ancestral hall in the evening." ”
The second uncle nodded slightly, and hummed lightly, which was regarded as a promise.
After Xia Fan and Gao Wenshan arrived at the second uncle's house, they arranged for the two to wash up well, and the second uncle took a piece of his own clothes that he wore during the festival and gave it to Gao Wenshan, and gave his son's clean clothes to Xia Fan, but it was a black gown. Even so, the second uncle still asked again and again, for fear of missing something and snubbing Gao Wenshan. Gao Wenshan really couldn't stand the compliment of the second uncle, so he had to say that he was tired, and the second uncle gave up.
As the sun sets, the mountain village has a unique charm.
The two went to their respective rooms, and at the moment no one disturbed them, it was a good time to close their eyes and recuperate.
And at the third watch in the middle of the night, Xia Fan was sleeping soundly.
Even when the door was opened, he suddenly noticed that someone slapped him on the cheek and shouted, "Boy, wake up!" Wake up!"
Xia Fan woke up slowly, rubbed his eyes, and complained, "What are you doing?"
But I saw the person clearly by the moonlight, and I was suddenly stunned.
