The next day, Wanning, who was full of worries, woke up early. At this time, the sky was faintly bright, the silence of the night had been broken, and everything was approaching the glimmer of light in the east. She tossed and turned, waking Gao Ziang. "Sister Wan, did you sleep well last night? Have you ever dreamed of your brother? ”

Wan Ning rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said angrily: "As soon as I woke up, I had a poor mouth." Gao Ziang turned over, pillowed his arm, smiled on his lips, and looked at Wanning gently. It's obviously your sister and Duan Ruiyi who eloped, why does it look like the two of us eloped! You say, if I'm really a robber, then now? ”

Wan Ning didn't answer his question, he asked himself: "Wan Ning, you are the lady of the village at this time." ”

"Don't talk about that, let's think about how to reply to my father today. I didn't come home all night, and what about my sister? We collectively deceive our father, and he will be angry. You spent the night out last night and violated the Gao family's family law, if your uncle asks, what should you say? Should you think about rhetoric? violates the family law, but the family law is served. Wan Ning put all the questions out in one go.

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge. No matter how you say it, it's all the father, it's hard to eat us. "Gao Ziang is fearless.

"I'm not like you, you get a few hits at most. But I'm a woman, and it's not appropriate to spend the night outside. ”

After talking for a while, it was dawn. Wan Ning got up and straightened her hair slightly. Then he pulled out the needles one by one and put them back on the table.

Gao Ziang looked at the embroidery needle and said, "Sister Wan, you will be redundant." ”

"How can you do without the Great Wall? The territory has not yet been encroached upon. ”

Gao Ziang couldn't help but smile after hearing this: "Wanning, what is hidden in your little head?" The embroidery needle can be linked to the Great Wall. ”

"You should get up quickly, live in someone's house, do you want to sleep lazy?"

"Your brother, am I the kind of person who sleeps lazy? I'm also very self-disciplined. Gao Ziang also got up neatly.

The two of them not only folded the quilt neatly, but also cleaned the house, even cleaner than before they lived.

The house where Wan Ning lived was at the easternmost end of the farmhouse, and at this time, in the westernmost room, the old woman was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find something. For a long time, a smile appeared on her face, and she saw that she was holding a ring in her hand.

The old man asked suspiciously: "How many years are it old, what are you looking for it?" ”

"What a good girl, how could you encounter such a thing as a robber robbing your relatives? It's unlucky that this marriage hasn't been consummated! How can a girl have a reason to get on the sedan chair twice? I gave her this bronze ring when we got married, hoping that she would drive away bad luck and end up with the person she loved, like us, for the rest of her life. ”

After saying that, the mother-in-law probably heard a voice in the east house and knew that they had gotten up. So he walked over and knocked on the door.

Wan Ning opened the door and said, "Mother-in-law is early." ”

The mother-in-law handed the bronze ring that she had treasured all her life to Wanning: "Girl, this is a little bit of mother-in-law's heart." ”

Wan Ning was puzzled: "Mother-in-law, what is this?" ”

"Although it is only a copper ring, it is not worth much, but this ring was given to me by your uncle when he married him. We have been poor all our lives, but we have also helped each other for a lifetime. I hope that you will marry your beloved as you wish and grow old with your husband. ”

Wan Ning hurriedly pushed: "Mother-in-law, this is too precious." Although this ring is not a golden thing, it means a lot to you and is a testimony of your lifelong love. It's priceless, how can I take it? ”

"We're all about to go to the ground, leave us alone, your uncle and I also hope that there will be one more pair of lovers in this world. Although the ring is not valuable, the mother-in-law knows that you are a good girl who values love and righteousness, and will definitely regard it as a treasure, and this ring needs to be an owner like the girl. Take it, if you don't take it, you'll be disgusted. ”

"But mother-in-law, we don't know each other after all, and you gave me such a valuable thing, which makes the younger generation feel unbearable."

The mother-in-law still persuaded Wanning: "Mother-in-law has been in this world for decades, and she eats more salt than you eat. I still have two hits on people, and I know I won't give it to the wrong person. ”

"Sister, the elder gives, should not resign, disrespectful. Take it, mother-in-law is a good intention. Gao Ziang said on the side.

Wan Ning thought for a moment, slowly took the ring and said, "Mother-in-law, you are really a good person, thank you for your blessings." ”

Seeing Wanning take the ring, her mother-in-law's voice became brisk: "After you finish washing, rest in the room for a while." I'm going to cook breakfast, and you'll have breakfast before you leave. ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

After breakfast, it's time to go home.

Wan Ning thought that there was a golden hairpin on her head, and if this golden hairpin was converted into cash, it would be enough for two old people to spend a year. Why don't you give it to the second elder? It is considered an accommodation fee. So he pulled off the golden hairpin on his head and handed it to his mother-in-law: "I'm sorry to disturb the two, I hope you can accept it." ”

The old man stood next to him and said with a serious face: "I said that I won't want your money." ”

"Uncle, mother-in-law, you can take it, so that we can live at ease. And my mother-in-law gave me such a valuable gift, and the younger generation really doesn't know how to repay you two. ”

The mother-in-law said helplessly: "Forget it, old man, the girl is also kind, and it looks like she is out of sight when she pushes it around." ”

"Yes, mother-in-law." Wan Ning responded.

The mother-in-law took the golden hairpin.

Wan Ning said, "Then let's go." ”

"There are many disturbances, Wan Wanghaihan." Gao Ziang said respectfully. Wan Ning also bowed her head slightly and apologized. After saying that, the two turned around and walked towards the courtyard.

The old man and mother-in-law kept sending them outside, and Wan Ning looked back and said, "Mother-in-law, I will come back to see you." ”

The mother-in-law waved her hand and said, "You must be careful on the road." ”

"Uncle, mother-in-law, go back."

Seeing Wanning and Gao Ziang coming out, Gong Haotian and the others did not appear immediately, but waited for the old man and mother-in-law to turn around and enter the house, and then they greeted them: "Young master, young lady." What do we do next? ”

"Naturally, I'm going home." Wan Ning blurted out.

Wan Ning looked around and said, "But we've lost our way, where are we now?" Yesterday we were in a mess since we ran away. I didn't know the road in the first place, and I ran around. ”

"Big deal, go back for another night." Gao Ziang smiled and said proudly.

Wan Ning said: "Don't be stupid, hurry up and find a way to go home." After a moment, she suddenly realized that her brother's words contained another meaning, so she asked, "Brother, don't you want to go back?" ”

"How so? I didn't know you were in a hurry to get home. He paused for a moment, "Okay, let's find our way home." ”

After that, he instructed Gong Haotian: "You go to the front to explore the way first." ”

"Yes, young master. The route is decided, and we make marks on the trees on both sides of the road, and you follow the signs. ”

After recovering for most of the day, I finally knew the road, and I was getting closer and closer to the downtown area. Wan Ning also put her heart at ease, she took Gao Ziang's arm, and once again expressed the worries in her heart: "I didn't return all night again, how do I explain when I go home?" ”

Gao Ziang put his arm around Wan Ning's shoulder: "Sister Wan, with me, I'll send you home first." ”
