When the group returned home, Qiao's mother had already boiled the hot water.

She sent the boys away first, and then said to Qu Haitang with a smile: "The water temperature is just right, you two girls wash first, and talk about the kang after washing." ”

Qu Haitang looked at Josie, and Josie was curious: "Mom, I don't understand what you mean." ”

The large bathtub at home, Qu Haitang may not be used to it.

Qiao's mother: "You two come with me." ”

Entering the firewood room, Josie saw a bucket next to the large bathtub.

Qiao's mother explained: "I washed this bucket very cleanly, don't dislike Xiaoqu." ”

Some families in the village are reluctant to buy a large bathtub, basically they use buckets, add hot water to the buckets, strip off their clothes and stand in the buckets, and wash them.

It's not as refreshing as a bathtub, but it's still clean.

Qu Haitang immediately shook his head: "Auntie, how can I dislike it, when I went to a relative's house, I used a bucket and knew how to wash it." ”

Qiao Mule: "That's fine." ”

This girl, the conditions are good and she is not pretentious, the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.

After Josie and Qu Haitang took a bath, they went to Josie's house, sat cross-legged on the kang, and chatted while combing their hair in the dim light.

From time to time, there were one or two sentences outside the window of Qiao's mother roaring Qiao Nan and Qiao Bei's voice.

Qu Haitang laughed when she heard it, and then sighed to Josie: "Your mother is so good." ”

"You've said that many times." Josie took a pair of small scissors in her hand and picked out the split ends and cut them off one by one.

"I'm telling the truth." Qu Haitang flattened his mouth: "You don't know, I envy the atmosphere of your home, I feel very loving and lively." ”

Josie agrees with this.

She saw Qu Haitang's eyes flashing, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't your house lively?" ”

Qu Haitang shook his head.

She sighed: "My dad is a teacher, my mom is a worker, they all speak very straightforwardly, not as interesting as your mom." ”

Josie pursed her lips, she was thinking about what it means to be right.

Should it be a board and an eye?

Qu Haitang then sighed: "Let's talk about it now, your mother seems to be scolding your two younger brothers, but in fact, she cares about them both inside and outside the words." Unlike my parents, they went out after eating, my dad played chess and my mom played mahjong and cards, and they didn't care about us at all. ”

"......" Josie didn't know what to say, reached over and shook Qu Haitang's hand.

Qu Haitang smiled reluctantly: "I'm fine, I'm used to it, but I suddenly felt it." ”

Josie called Qu Haitang to be a guest, and originally had the intention of letting Qu Haitang and Qiao Nan call, but at this moment, she said to Qu Haitang from the bottom of her heart: "If you like our family, come and play more in the future, we are welcome at any time." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"Then I'm so happy!" Qu Haitang smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed: "Okay, I'm not empty-handed, I'll bring something good next time!" ”

……

The moonlight poured into the hut through the window lattice, and Qin Jiashu sat with a dull expression.

Just now, he actually had a spring dream.

In the dream, still in the orchard, he pushed Josie against the wall, pinched her arm, and approached her little by little.

Her lips were so soft, like the lightest and softest veil.

Just by touching it so lightly, his whole person in the dream seemed to float, and his body and soul were all satisfied.

Then he woke up.

"Hoo ......"

Waiting for the hot body to calm down, Qin Jiashu turned over and got off the kang, walked to the edge of the water cellar, and washed his body and pants.

He went back to the kang in the hut, but he couldn't sleep.

His mind was full of the mess that Wa Changle had told him, and the most hateful thing was that the more he didn't think about it, the more he drilled into his head.

"Ahh

Qin Jiashu shouted and sat up again.

When the sleeping wolf heard his master's voice, he immediately opened his eyes and pricked up his ears in alarm.

After hearing no more movement, it lay down again and continued to sleep.

In order to put an end to the colorful ones in his mind, Qin Jiashu opened the kang cabinet and took out an iron box containing tea leaves.

Then, flip over the tea box and pour out all the money inside.

Let's count the great unity, one, two...... Seventy-five, seven hundred and fifty dollars.

Count a bunch of gross tickets, one cent, five cents...... It adds up to thirty-two dollars.

A total of seven hundred and eighty-two dollars.

After removing the bride price of 500 yuan, there are still 282 yuan left, according to the standards of the village, the remaining money is enough for the marriage.

But he didn't want Josie to marry shabby, so he still had to wait for the money from wild ginseng to come back while continuing to sell astragalus.

In addition to astragalus, several other things he found had to be sold.

Thinking of tomorrow's door-to-door meeting, Qin Jiashu counted out fifty yuan, although the first visit is not too expensive, but his hands can't be empty, and he still has to mention it.

Qiao's mother was not satisfied with him, and he had to behave better.

Tomorrow is an opportunity to perform.

After planning this, Qin Jiashu had no wind and snow in his mind, only a burning fighting spirit and excitement.

This time he closed his eyes, and all he could think about was what to buy.

Thinking about falling asleep, the sky was bright, and the rooster crowed for the first time, and Qin Jiashu got up.

He got off the kang and simply cleaned himself up, poured water and food into the wolf bowl, and without a moment's delay, he stepped on the morning dew and sent it to the town.

When I arrived in town, it turned out that it was still early, and the shops were not open.

Qin Jiashu walked around the street and saw people coming in and out of the health center, he stopped and thought about it and walked in.

……

Yang.

Hearing that Yang Wenqing was going to Qiao Zhu's house, Yang's father and Yang's mother were not very good-looking.

Especially Mother Yang, she looked unhappy: "Son, think about it again, that Qiao Zhu, she can't do much." ”

Although she has run home several times and helped the family with work, her words and deeds reveal a frivolity, which makes her not like it very much.

Yang Wenqing lowered his head and was also entangled.

Although he is not very happy to marry Qiao Zhu, he does not have many choices.

Besides, he said everything.

Faced with the persuasion of Yang's father and Yang's mother, he could only bite the bullet and say: "It's all Qiao's family, she can't go anywhere." ”

Mother Yang: "Mom didn't say that the conditions were poor, Mom said that the girl was not very good." Compared to Josie, Qiao Zhu is too undignified and unstable. ”

Speaking of this, Mother Yang felt a pity in her heart.

When the son and Josie went on a successful blind date, the Qiao family was willing to marry Josie, and she was so happy that she didn't sleep for a few nights.

She felt that it was the moon in the sky that shone on her home, and her son was so blessed.

didn't expect something to go wrong in the middle, and this family business didn't work out.

At first, she was quite angry, angry that Josie released her son's pigeons, and she didn't marry well, but then she heard from the villagers that Josie found a job in the town, saying that Josie was cultured and beautiful and had a good job, and felt that it was indeed her son who was not worthy.

Mother Yang also hesitated when she saw her son, and said: "Son, you are not in good health, that Qiao Zhu married into the door, in case you can't hold it, she will be restless in the future, what should I do?" ”
