Chapter 087: The smell of gunpowder at night
Yao Wenjing said she didn't understand.
"Why?"
Xie Yuanjiu stood there, a little speechless for a while, in fact, he didn't want the people in the village to see Yao Wenjing and him, a labor prisoner, going up the mountain together.
After all, this girl is only 17 years old, and she will marry in the future, and the mothers-in-law and aunts in the village are very gossipy, if they know that Yao Wenjing has lived in the mountains with him for nearly a month, they don't know what kind of gossip will come out.
Just like when she was pushed down the mountain by Luo Xin, he took people back to the village after saving them, and after confirming that it was okay, he just secretly put Yao Wenjing at the door of the house and left.
In the final analysis, he just didn't want to affect Yao Wenjing's reputation, Xie Yuanjiu at this time had a terrible inferiority complex.
But such words were not easy to say, so he could only find a reason.
"I still have something to do in the mountains, you go home first, don't worry about me."
Yao Wenjing felt a little inexplicable, and wanted to tell him to go home first if he wanted to do something, not in a hurry, but after Xie Yuanjiu finished speaking, he walked towards the mountain with his heavy luggage, and he didn't have the slightest chance to stop him.
Thinking that she would be able to see her grandmother soon, and she would be able to see her eldest brother, Yao Wenjing didn't think much about it, and walked down the mountain in one go, and entered the village after a while.
Bumped into several villagers who finished work late, they were surprised when they saw Yao Wenjing, Yao Wenjing greeted them, and it took a long time to react, and then oh oh several times.
"Jing girl, you're okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
Yao Wenjing was a little confused, he was so dignified, what could he do.
She didn't take the steep road to go directly to the back village, but took a detour, walked a gentle slope and then entered the village from the front village, walked too many mountain roads, her feet were a little swollen, and she was indeed tired, hungry and thirsty.
At this moment, Yao Wenjing just wanted to go home and lie on her small bed.
At the entrance of the village in front of Fenghuang Village, there is a big old locust tree, which may be hundreds of years old, and many people gather under the tree to enjoy the shade in the summer evening.
The time I went up the mountain was calculated, and it added up to at least a month or more, and now it was June, after dinner, many villagers gathered under the tree, shaking the pu fan to enjoy the coolness, and began to chat about the gossip of the east and the west.
At this moment, Ma Lanhua and Feng Chunyan's mother, Widow Zhang, were also mixed in a group of mothers-in-law, shaking the pu fan and talking.
Ma Lanhua is showing off her son.
"Wen Bin, this kid, is down-to-earth and smart, do you know, he was taken by Tang Yongqing a long time ago, and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, speaking of which the mason's daily salary is not old or young, I thought I was too tired, and I didn't agree, and then this old Tang ran several times, which made Wen Bin follow, and recently he repaired houses for people in the town every day."
In the countryside, it is also a good choice to learn a technology, speaking of which, this Tang Yongqing is still a little famous in Ala Township, and he has been running around in various villages, repairing houses for everyone, who wants to repair houses, and the first person who thinks of it is this Tang Yongqing.
In the past two years, the brick factory has become hot, and he began to repair the brick and tile house, and the requirements for the masons in this brick and tile house are much higher.
Many people were a little envious and said that Ma Lanhua had a good life.
"Speaking of which, Wen Bin's child is really good, not only down-to-earth, serious in his work, but also filial piety, now that he is Master Tang's apprentice, I am afraid that many girls are in a hurry to enter the door of your house, maybe one day, I will bring you a daughter-in-law back."
Having said so much, this is what Ma Lanhua said.
Yao Wenbin went home and told her several times, saying that he wanted to marry Feng Chunyan, but the last time he went to the door to propose, this Guifang opened his mouth and asked for a bride price of 800 yuan, and the two also had a big quarrel because of this, which spread in the village and became a conversation and joke after dinner.
She wanted to give this bad breath.
I saw the corners of Ma Lanhua's mouth twitching, with a hint of mockery.
"Ouch, where is it so good as you say, it's still an apprenticeship, and the salary is not very high, but no matter how high the salary is, it won't be used to honor the mother, and now the children, not having a daughter-in-law and forgetting their mother, have to work hard to earn the bride price, and the mother-in-law sucked the money."
Although this is not named, everyone who understands it understands, who doesn't know that the kid of the Yao family likes the girl of Widow Zhang's family, and he has been following behind him since he was a child, even if the girl was ruined by the second-rate Xie Yuanjiu later, he didn't care.
Speaking of which, Ma Lanhua didn't give everyone a chance to speak at all, and continued to add another sentence.
"But what you said is also, now Wenbin's salary is high and stable, and there are indeed a lot more people who come to the door to propose marriage, no, just yesterday someone said that a girl from Butuo Village said that she looks very good, and that Butuo Village is a little poor, but the bad family is still an eighteen-year-old girl, clean, and willing to come to our house without a bride price."
Some people began to laugh, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and began to shout Zhang Guifang.
"I said Widow Zhang, don't hold it, Wenbin is worthy of your swallow, that's more than enough, what else do you want 800 yuan bride price, you said from ancient times to the present, which family in our Phoenix Village marries a girl, and the bride price can be so high?"
Widow Zhang's face was flushed, and her eyes looked at Ma Lanhua like a knife, this woman just didn't want to pay the bride price, so she had to spoil her daughter in front of everyone.
At the beginning, the public security comrades said that Xie Yuanjiu did not succeed in front of Yanzi, otherwise it would not have been a matter of five years, but she would have been shot directly, and she would have to ruin her daughter's reputation in front of everyone.
Then she is not welcome, her words are more yin and yang than Ma Lanhua, and the smell of gunpowder is full.
