Chapter 10: I Will Marry You
After Fan Dayong left, Chen said to Wang with a straight face: "You are alone at home, and you dare to open the door to a man casually?" ”
Wang was a little aggrieved: "I saw that he came last time, so I ...... it"
"He's been here too, too! You're still doing that, you're relieved! ”
Wang's tears are about to fall: "Mother, I was wrong, I won't dare next time." ”
Qi Lele saw that the people were leaving, and walked out with a bamboo basket on his back: "Mother, I'll chop up the wild vegetables first." ”
"Well, go ahead."
Chen thought about it for a while, and beckoned Zhao to ask her to clean up the backyard, and by the way, she could watch some people.
Qi Lele went into the backyard, there is a lot of land here, the Chen family is diligent, raised a lot of pigs and chickens, slaughtered some for the New Year, and now there are still some left, which is intended to be kept for the Wang family and the men in the family to make up for themselves.
There was a simple stove piled up of stones in the corner, which was specially used to cook pig food on weekdays, Qi Lele sat next to it, picked up a worn-out kitchen knife, checked it, and began to cut wild vegetables.
What I was thinking about was the trafficker just now, and I couldn't help but be glad that I didn't continue to make trouble after waking up, otherwise I would have been dragged away by the trafficker at this time.
Now that her marriage date is set, the Chen family should not sell her again, right?
But Chen's not selling, it doesn't mean that the man is willing to let go, don't look at him now and amiably, who knows what he thinks in his heart?
In the end, this is ancient times, and it is not uncommon to rob people's daughters.
I worked hard to pull out Siya's memory, and I felt that the overall environment of Shangxi Village was still relatively stable, even less theft, and I hadn't heard of any murder and robbery, so thinking about it, as long as she didn't run around, she should still be safe?
In the end, Qi Lele decided to wait and see what happened, not to go out unless necessary, never to go out alone, girls should learn to protect themselves, and try to avoid possible dangers.
Zhao quickly cleaned the pigsty, went to the chicken coop and touched it around, found three or four eggs, and immediately smiled.
"It's a meeting in two days, fourth sister, do you have anything you want to change?"
Assembly? Qi Lele thought about it, there is indeed such a thing, although the town is not too far from the village, but many croppers are not willing to go, so there will be a large gathering in the nearby ten miles and eight towns every other day, and the big guys can trade at the meeting.
In addition to buying and selling, this kind of gathering also has a use, that is, the ancient version of blind date!
Unmarried men and women in each village can go around if they have nothing to do, maybe there are people who look at the right eye?
And those who want to start a relationship, they can also take advantage of the gathering to see each other first, and they have to close their eyes before they can move on to the next step, right?
The last rally was at the beginning of the first month, and it has been more than a month since this time.
"This meeting is over, it will be two or three months later, fourth sister, think about what is missing, let's go and change some when we go back."
Qi Lele responded with a smile: "Okay." ”
By the time Zhao had cleaned up the backyard, Qi Lele's two boxes of wild vegetables had only been cut in half, and he was so tired that he was panting and his hands were still shaking.
"That's enough, fourth sister, you can rest quickly, and I'll do the rest."
Qi Lele breathed a sigh of relief, shook his hand and put down the kitchen knife, but he was not idle, and put away all the wild vegetables.
Zhao quickly lit a fire and went to the firewood room to get some wheat bran.
Qi Lele took a look, cooking pig food here is simple and rude, that is, wild vegetables are boiled with water, and then some wheat bran is added to it, and stirred while cooking, all live!
Maybe she can think about homemade pig feed in the future?
As soon as the two of them finished their work, there was a voice of talking in front of them, it was Qi Da and they came back, Zhao suddenly became happy, turned his head and looked at the front twice, Qi Le was happy to see it, and took the long stick in her hand: "Second sister-in-law, you go to the front to help, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
When Zhao left, Qi Lele continued to mix pig food, and after a while, someone suddenly came behind her, she hurriedly hid to the side, and turned her head to see that it was Qi Xiaocai.
There are three brothers in the Qi family, the eldest and the second follow Qi Da, who is tall and has long legs, lean and lean. Only the third child was carved out of the same mold as the Chen family, he was not tall, but he was exceptionally strong. Therefore, Chen has a special preference for Qi Xiaocai, and has developed his unstingy temperament.
Qi Xiaocai didn't seem to feel that his actions were inappropriate, and asked with a smile: "Why are you busy working alone?" Are you feeling better? Brother is here to help you. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and touched Qi Lele's hand.
Qi Lele threw the wooden stick, took two steps back, and said, "Third brother, I'm about to get married, it's not appropriate for you to do this." ”
Xu is words stabbed Qi Xiaocai's heart, and he put away his smile: "Do you really want to marry him?" ”
"Yes."
Qi Xiaocai gritted his teeth: "I said I would marry you!" ”
"I also said that I would rather die than marry you!" Qi Lele said word by word: "You are my brother, and you can only be my brother!" ”
Siya first had the idea of seeking death, but she was forced by Qi Xiaocai! It's just that the rest of the family doesn't know that it was the four girls who forced each other to die, so that Qi Xiaocai was divided for most of the year.
Now, seeing that Qi Lele is no longer as lifeless as Siya, Qi Xiaocai has thought again.
was broken at this time, Qi Xiaocai was annoyed and ashamed, and stretched out his hand to grab Qi Lele, but was looked at by Qi Xiaoyin, who came later: "Qi Xiaocai!" What are you doing! ”
Qi Lele's eyes were red: "Second brother! ”
"Brother is here!" Qi Xiaoyin was furious: "Are you such a brother?" ”
Qi Xiaocai also held back a fire in his heart: "It's your business!" ”
As the two talked, they scuffled.
Qi Xiaojin was originally talking to the Wang family, but when he heard the movement, he rushed over to take a look, he didn't know what he was doing, and he was angry in his heart, this third child is really not exquisite! I am optimistic about each other, and the four girls are also engaged, what are you talking about?
When Chen and Zhao in the kitchen heard the voice, the three brothers were in a mess again.
Chen was furious, walked over and held a rolling pin and hit whoever was who, and the three of them screamed and quickly separated.
The Wang family and the Zhao family circled around their men with distressed faces, and Qi Lele hid behind Qi Da with red eyes. Only Qi Xiaocai was in front of Chen.
Chen's lips trembled with anger, and he lowered his voice and said hatefully: "That man is still coming to the door today, if you make trouble again, I will sell Siya and sell it to a place where you can no longer find it!" ”
Qi Xiaocai clenched his fists, and his chest fell together, he couldn't figure it out, why did everyone in this family just can't get along with him like this?
Obviously, Siya was picked up, what happened to marrying him? Originally, there was the eldest and second boss who robbed him, but now that they have become a family and are living well, why can't they look at him well?
"Because Siya is not happy!" Qi Da was just about to take a bath, and he saw all the things in the courtyard in the small room, and when he came out at this time, he was still wet with half of his clothes, he was furious, and scolded: "You should be a beast like you?" She's your own brother! I'd rather die than marry you! You have to be really good for her, and take a break from your thoughts as soon as possible! ”
"What kind of brother, my mother didn't give birth to a sister!"
"You don't think we're ashamed enough, do you? It's still noisy! Chen's hand was another stick: "When the spring sowing is over, the old lady will marry you a daughter-in-law, don't blush others all day long!" ”
Qi Xiaocai's eyes were red with anger: "I don't!" ”
"Then the old lady!"
Qi Xiaocai glanced at Qi Lele deeply, turned around and walked through the back door.
The courtyard was quiet, and Qi scolded loudly: "Shameful thing! ”
Chen is also extremely disappointed with this son now: "Okay, let's go back to the house for dinner, are you hurt?" ”
Qi Xiaojin and Qi Xiaoyin shook their heads, the three of them have been fighting since they were children, but they won't be heavy-handed, but this matter is really disturbing.
originally thought that everyone had a family affair, and this matter was over, Qi Xiaocai really hadn't made trouble for a long time, but where did he think that such a thing would suddenly come out today.
At this point, the Zhao family completely believed what the Chen family said before, and the head of this family was probably really because Qi Xiaocai was not thinking right, and he made such a fuss.
Wang looked at Siya's distressing appearance hiding behind her with red circles under her eyes, and couldn't help but curse in her heart, it was all caused by this fox spirit!
was so troubled by Qi Xiaocai, everyone ate a little tasteless at dinner.
After eating, Qi Lele went back to the house early, she only felt panicked in her heart, and she couldn't say uncomfortable.
After a while, Chen entered the room and saw the girl sitting on the edge of the bed with her head down, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Your third brother, don't pay attention to him, after a while you become a parent, he will die."
Qi Lele hummed softly.
Chen walked up to her and took her hand: "I just said that I was going to sell you to deliberately scare him, your father and I never planned to sell you, that person came to the door by himself, I have never let go, you can rest assured, marry Xie Zi'an, and live a good life." ”
Qi Lele didn't know whether Chen's words were true or false, and he didn't want to tell the difference, the left and right Siya were no longer there, and it was meaningless whether it was true or false.
But thinking like this in my heart, the tears couldn't stop falling, and there was that lingering sadness.
Chen was saddened by this sobbing cry, and cried along.
After a long time, Qi Lele opened his mouth: "Sister-in-law said that you really wanted to sell me, and even collected the silver, so I went to jump into the lake to find my death." ”
Chen's face changed suddenly.
"Later, I hit the wall, also because my sister-in-law said that Xie Zi'an already had someone he liked in his heart, and he was forced to marry me because he was helpless."
……
At the other end, Qi Xiaocai left home, went to the other end of the village, and knocked on the door of a courtyard.
"Tell Xie Zi'an to come out, I have something to say to him."
