Narcissus, who was in the little room in the orchard, felt the footsteps getting closer and closer to her, and went out vigilantly to take a look.

Her parents brought two people to the orchard. Wang Defa she had seen it, and she remembered that the last time she came, he took Guisheng with him. This time you didn't come.

Narcissus couldn't hear what others were saying, and when others spoke, she looked carefully at their lips, and could tell what they were talking about. Her way of greeting is also very simple, with a pair of embarrassed eyes, looking at each other politely, it can be regarded as greeting.

When Ma Xiu'e saw Narcissus, she was very distressed, and she felt very close to the child at a glance. Maybe it's because of Yuting, she feels sorry for this child.

Wang Defa never knew how to communicate with Narcissus, and smiled when he saw her.

Although Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e came today to collect apples from the Narcissus's family, it is undeniable that it is much more important to give Guisheng a daughter-in-law than to do business.

After a brief look at the situation in the orchard, Wang Defa and Narcissus Dad were responsible for picking from the tree, and Ma Xiu'e and Narcissus were bagging under the tree.

"Brother, I think we need to find some more people, at this speed, it is estimated that it will be half the night when I go back this afternoon." Wang Defa said.

"Boss Wang, don't worry, let's get you the car that has been bagged now, go home for lunch, my relatives and friends will come over in the afternoon, help load it up very quickly, you can rest assured!"

"That's good, your apples are growing well this year, they're big and the color is good! I can sell it for a good price. ”

"The price is high, the price is low, sell it to you Boss Wang, really!" Narcissus said.

"Your apples are good, they must be able to sell for a good price."

Before coming to Narcissus's house, Wang Defa settled Ma Xiu'e, asking her not to be so strict when choosing apples.

"Brother, I'm really not joking with you about Guisheng and Narcissus! What do you think? Wang Defa stood on the ladder and said to Narcissus Dad on the opposite ladder.

"Boss Wang, I think this is a good thing, and besides, the conditions in your town are much better than in my mountains, and Narcissus can marry into your family as a daughter-in-law, I am Gao Pan."

"Don't say that, what is high or not climbing, we are both fathers, and the situation of the child is similar, I understand you." Wang Defa said meaningfully.

"It's her blessing that she can marry into your family. From my perspective as a father, I agree, but, the key is to look at the meaning of the two dolls, even if the two of them are willing, if this year is done, it's a bit early, next year, next year, if they don't do anything, I'm willing. The children and my woman's work will be done when the time comes. Dad Narcissus said to Wang Defa while picking apples in his hand. The place where the two of them picked apples was getting farther and farther away from Ma Xiu'e and Narcissus's mother, and the women couldn't hear this.

The apples of the narcissus's family, all that Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e could collect, were all loaded on the truck, and when they left, Wang Defa gave Narcissus's father half of the money first, and let him use it. If this is someone else, it is impossible, and Wang Defa can only wait until the apple is sold, and Wang Defa will come to check out.

Wang Defa can think about all the things for the Narcissus family, he has thought of everything, why, isn't it just for his own son.

On their way home with the apple, Wang Defa told Ma Xiu'e about it and asked her what she thought. Ma Xiu'e thought for a long time, and said affectionately: "I feel that the doll is pitiful, and when I see Yuting, I feel very sorry for the narcissus, they are all hard-working children." If people really come to the Wang family, they have to be right. ”

After harvesting the apples that time, as long as Wang Defa planned to go out and pass by Narcissus's house, he would tell Guisheng in advance that he would take him with him the next day. The two children see each other more and more often, and they become familiar.

Whenever they look at the two squeaky and dancing in the courtyard, Wang Defa and Narcissus Dad are relieved and sad in their hearts.

After a long period of love, no one can escape this curse. Gradually, Wang Guisheng also had a good impression of Narcissus. Every time he quarreled with Yuting, he would say to Yuting slowly: "Water, water, narcissus, you are much better!" ”

Every time Hu Yuting heard Wang Guisheng praise narcissus in his mouth, she cried angrily. As soon as Yuting cried, Wang Defa reprimanded Guisheng, and after the reprimand, Guisheng had to be asked to coax Yuting well.

Ma Xiu'e has done a good job in the contradictions of children, she knows that as long as it is a child, it is impossible to have no contradictions, as long as it does not hurt each other, she will not criticize Guisheng from Yuting's point of view, nor will she count Yuting in order to please Wang Defa.

In the spring of the second year, the sheep in the sheepfold who had been holding back for a winter were "bleating" all day long, as if begging Wang Guisheng to take them out to eat fresh grass.

Wang Defa agreed that Guisheng would go out to herd sheep, but he could not get close to the crops in the Sichuan field or the orchard.

During the busy time of spring farming, Wang Defa shuttles through the wasteland to herd his sheep, and occasionally encounters birds, he will tie them up, and after beating the birds, he will continue to let them eat the sprouting grass freely.

Wang Defa pressed the apples until the end of April, and at the beginning of May, he sold them all to merchants and made some money. As in previous years, he went around settling the apple money from each family. He did what he said, and Wang Defa did not settle the money for the apples of the Narcissus family at the price of the previous year, but at the price at which he sold them after the year.

"Brother, the price of apples this year is good, and the income is okay!" Wang Defa chatted at Narcissus' house.

"Yes, the price for a few years is really good."

"If you are free, take Narcissus to my house, it's good to recognize the door!" Wang Defa hinted at Narcissus Dad.

"Okay, when I have time, I'll take it with me, I'll let you run, I'm embarrassed."

"Don't have time, on May 5 this year, the town invited the provincial opera troupe to sing on the stage, you bring narcissus, and your brother and daughter-in-law, come to watch the play together, it's very lively!" Wang Defa warmly invited.

"It's not good, it's a big holiday, run over and cause trouble for you."

"Look at what you say, you can't see the outside, what is the meaning of causing trouble. It's a holiday, the two families should move around more, so it's decided, on May 5, you settle down at home, and come over to the town for the holiday. ”

Narcissus's father felt that he had already set the tone for the two children a few years ago, and it was necessary to go to Wang Defa's house to have a look.

Wang Defa settled the account and hurried back after not sitting for long.

Narcissus's father, who returned to the house, pondered this matter again and again.

"Woman, you say, this Boss Wang, is this reliable? Narcissus, can you be his daughter-in-law? ”

"Whether you can be it or not, you have said before, it depends on whether the two children are willing or not, I think it's okay, this Boss Wang, it's okay to watch. It's not that he's been chasing after him for most of the year, I didn't even realize that our narcissus is also a big girl. ”

"To go or not to go on May 5th?"

"Didn't you just say yes?"

"What is your opinion on this matter?"

"Boss Wang's son, are you saying that it was congenital or because he broke his head? If it's congenital, I think the disease is inherited, and I can't marry Narcissus. Narcissus is already miserable enough, and if the children in the future are not normal, how can they live. ”

"The child fell from the kang and was not treated in time, I know this, I also mentioned this problem to Boss Wang, once when he came, he showed me the film made by Guisheng many years ago, it can't be fake."

"Oh, that's good, I think it's okay to go on May 5, what's the situation in our family, Boss Wang knows in his heart, what is the situation in their family, let's go and see how it is." This is to marry your daughter, not to give something. ”

"I know this, we're a little poor, but we won't sell our daughters. Okay, if you agree, then we'll go to town on May 5 this year. ”

After Wang Defa went home, he told Ma Xiu'e about inviting the whole family of Narcissus to come to the house for May 5, and the two still had a tacit understanding.

However, when Wang Defa was about to go to his own business, Ma Xiu'e said casually: "Don't just find a daughter-in-law for the doll, you have to tell the doll, what is the purpose of marrying a daughter-in-law, don't end up Guisheng doesn't know what to do when you get married and start a family." ”

These words definitely made Wang Defa feel empowered. That's right, the key protagonists are Guisheng and Narcissus, don't do a good job of the two families, and the last two children are in the clouds, I don't know what it means to marry a daughter-in-law and a man, so I didn't do useless work.

For a few days in a row, Wang Defa wanted to go with Guisheng to herd sheep, which was an abnormal thing that made Guisheng very uncomfortable.

"Guisheng, Dad has something to tell you, you let the sheep eat the grass by themselves first."

Guisheng didn't speak, but he glanced at Wang Defa, Wang Defa understood that Guisheng's eyes were telling him, let him just say it.

"What do you think of Sister Narcissus?" Wang De asked.

"Good!"

"Do you like her?"

"I like it!"

"That's good, you're also a big guy, what about your sister Narcissus, you're also a big girl, how about letting Sister Narcissus marry you and be your daughter-in-law?" Wang De asked.

"Yes."

Wang Defa didn't expect such a good communication, he was a little surprised, and asked after him: "Do you know what a daughter-in-law does?" ”

Wang Guisheng used stammering words to explain what he was doing to marry a daughter-in-law, and after explaining Wang Defa, he understood, these children have played together since they were children, who is a father, who is a mother, who is a child, it is clear.

"Oh, Guisheng, you have really grown up, when I marry you back, you will be a father in the future, and Narcissus will be a mother, and I can be a grandfather! Then it's decided, on the fifth of May, Narcissus will come to our house. ”

"Really?" Wang Guisheng's eyes were full of longing, and he was very slipping away when he said two words now.

"Really, Daddy doesn't lie to you."

Maybe Guisheng is still stuck in the game of playing house, knowing what he is doing when he marries a daughter-in-law. But he doesn't know what the real meaning and responsibility of marrying a daughter-in-law is, and now it is difficult for him to understand, maybe only one day, when Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e both leave this world, when he looks back and thinks about it, he will understand what it means to marry a daughter-in-law.

On May 5th, the school was closed, and Wang Chenglong, Wang Laidi, and Hu Yuting didn't have to go to school, and it was rare for the family to get together. Early in the morning, Wang Defa took Guisheng to the back mountain to cut the willows to be hung.

At home, Ma Xiu'e and the three girls are at home, Jackie Chan helps Ma Xiu'e clean up the food in the kitchen, and Brother Lai and Yuting try on the newly bought clothes in the house.

On the way to chop willows, you can already see that on the top of the high mountain in the distance, someone is already on the high mountain, and the fire is not visible, but the smoke is rising to the sky. The wolf smoke in ancient times was similar to this. Wang Defa imagined jumping around the fire.

"Guisheng, do you know why willows are hung on the fifth day of May?" Wang De asked.

"Yes."

Guisheng told Wang Defa with difficulty the legend of why he hung willows on the fifth day of May.

"Yes, my son, how do you know?"

"Yes, my mother, me, my mother told me before."

Wang Defa looked at his son and was speechless. When he saw the willow tree, he took a warping knife and cut the willow.

Wang Defa asked Guisheng to take less, and tied a big bundle himself, thinking that the narcissus was coming today, Guisheng would not go to herd the sheep, and the extra branches would be fed to the sheep. If he was younger, he would have casually driven this bundle to his shoulder, but now that he is old, Wang Defa found an earthen step, put the wicker bundle on it, and then squatted down on his shoulder.

Time does not spare people, and people do not have years to waste.

An old man and a young man carried wicker bundles on their backs, and under the light of the sun that was not very red in the early morning, the back was like a microcosm of the Wang family, with endless stories.

Narcissus's house began to clean up early in the morning, the yard was cleaned, and after the willows on the eaves were hung, the three of them set off on two cars. Narcissus sits on her dad's sorghum bike, and her mom rides a ladies sorghum bike herself.

If you ride a bike to town, it will take at least more than an hour. Narcissus is dressed very beautifully today, sitting in the back seat of her father's bicycle, like a down-and-out big girl.

Ma Xiu'e was busy cooking food for entertaining guests, and Wang Defa turned around to clean up the bits and pieces in the house, waiting for the Narcissus family to come for the festival.

"I'll tell you, today, your future daughter-in-law, Narcissus, is coming to the house, you take care of other girls, don't bully others! Take her to the town to play more, pay attention to safety, you know? While waiting for the narcissus, Wang Defa settled the four children first.

"Old man, if you don't go to the street to greet you, it should be almost there, people come to the house for the first time, they don't necessarily know the door!" Ma Xiu'e shouted in the kitchen.

"Okay, if you leave early in the morning, this meeting should also arrive, Guisheng and I will go to greet you, if you have anything to help, you can let Jackie Chan and them help you."

"Guisheng, let's go, pick up someone with Dad!" Wang Defa happily took Wang Guisheng's hand and went out.
