Chapter 71: The Crane (9)
Actually, I don't have much to lose by her being by my side, as long as I turn a blind eye to her and don't hear her.
But...... The elders on the island just didn't think it was too big to make a fuss, and they were looking for me to joke with her all day long.
"Ah, isn't that Xiaoqing and He'er? Look at Xiaoqing's little daughter-in-law's appearance, it's really cute. ”
"Yes, Xiaoqing and He'er are really a match made in heaven. It seems that this good day is coming. ”
"Isn't it? I've seen them together in three days! No matter where the crane goes, Xiaoqing, the girl, always follows. ”
"The crane is handsome, and the man is capable. If I were my age, I would be fascinated. ”
"Xiaoqing is not bad, well-behaved and sensible, she will be a good daughter-in-law in the future. This Shen family, it's good luck! ”
"Well, the Shen family and the Lin family are both dogs. luck. ”
I don't hear much like this all day long. It's just that others said that it didn't matter, but it made Shen's father look at Xiaoqing more and more pleasing to the eye, and began to make a fuss about looking for a matchmaker, and it was wrong to prepare a dowry.
"Come on, come on, crane." On this day, I had just returned from Grandma's place, and Daddy Shen pulled me into the cave, pointed to a pile of things and asked, "Look, how is it?" ”
I looked closely at the things on the ground, there were whole grains, nearly thirty or so eggs, and two festive silk cloths.
"Dad, you bought these things when you got to town today?" I frowned and asked.
"What do you mean by such things? This is all bought by my father with his savings for your daughter-in-law. After that, he added, "This blink of an eye, only half a year has passed." In the past six months, Dad has seen that you and Xiaoqing have gotten along quite well.
Wherever you go, she follows. That docile appearance is flattering. Seeing that Xiaoqing would be in time in a few months, my father thought about it and hurriedly asked you to be hired at the Lin family. ”
"Daddy...... I said I ......"
"Don't tell me that you're not interesting to Xiaoqing" Dad Shen didn't give me a chance to finish his words at all, but said to himself, "How are you and Xiaoqing, not only Dad, but also the people on the island can see it clearly." Now, everybody treats you like a couple! ”
After that, he said, "Yes, your character is understood." Maybe you think Xiaoqing is too clingy, which makes you a little unaccustomed. Well, after all, it's because you're too cold to her that she can't feel your heart. After getting married, be kind to her, she will naturally wait for you at home obediently, and she will not keep pestering you. ”
"Dad, why don't you understand? I don't have any feelings for her at all, so she naturally can't feel ......"
"Okay, good, just when you're not interesting to Xiaoqing!" Dad Shen said that he couldn't help me, so he simply changed his persuasion method, "But what can I do?" There will always be such a thing as affection after getting married. It is said that a husband and wife are a hundred days a day, and when you become husband and wife, with the reality of husband and wife, you will slowly find Xiaoqing's goodness.
What's more, the only one you can marry on this island is her. If you don't marry her, how can I hold my grandson? Could it be that you really plan to get married for the rest of your life? ”
As he spoke, Daddy Shen suddenly punched me. The strength is not large, but the meaning is very simple and clear, "Besides, Xiaoqing has been so sticky to you in the past six months, and you haven't rejected others." This island is small, and everyone knows about you. If you don't marry her, who else will she marry?
Don't forget, her reputation is all on you. Although you are not my biological son, you are also a descendant of my old Shen family. Let me tell you, your father and I don't allow you to ruin other people's reputation and innocence like this, and you are not responsible for others. This kind of thing, but no one with a conscience will do it! ”
To be honest, when I listened to these words of Daddy Shen. For a moment, I felt that everyone around me was crazy.
I don't care what others think. But I can't make sense on Xiaoqing's side, and I can't make sense on Shen's father's side.
Scold......
Obviously, I didn't do anything, but in the end, I was somehow buttoned up with such a big hat.
Destroying reputation and innocence...... Did I hurt Xiaoqing, or did Xiaoqing hurt me?
"Alright, that's it." Just thinking about it, Father Shen spoke again, and gave my marriage a stick, "I will find a day and let Grandma go to the Lin family to say goodbye." But this kind of thing, that is, going through the motions, will not embarrass the Lao Lin family.
In private, I have already agreed with you Uncle Lin. When you are engaged, I will be the big one, and your Uncle Lin will be the small one. I will build you a small cabin at the foot of the mountain, and when you are married, you will go by yourself. ”
Speaking of this, Dad Shen became more and more energetic, "Don't worry, I chose the location to build the house." It's not far from our house and the Lin family, and it's convenient for you two to go back and forth. However, you know the situation of our family, so we can only build you a small house with two rooms.
Although your Uncle Lin's family is better than ours, you are a man after all. If you marry someone else's daughter, and then let the family start a house, you can't do it!
That's right, son. Dad told you that the new house is a stove room and a bedroom, even if you have children, it is enough to live. Anyway, when I go with your Uncle Lin, the two rooms will be left to you, don't be afraid. ”
I listened to what Dad Shen said with relish, but I couldn't lift my energy at all. So, he climbed onto the couch silently and covered his head tightly with the quilt.
When Dad Shen saw me like this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. Vaguely, I heard him say, "Alas, you kid really don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." I still don't understand, my dad is all for your good! ”
It's just that no matter what he says, I don't have the heart to listen anymore. All I have to think about is warmth and coldness.
I finally coaxed Leng Nuan and Huan to make her no longer angry with me because of elopement. This time, there was such a stubble suddenly.
The first two times we met, because of Xiaoqing's matter, I was always a little absent-minded, and I was already aware of Leng Nuan. Now like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it from her.
……
Soon, it was the day when I met Leng Nuan again.
Although I was afraid of being looked at by the cold and warm, I still went to the appointment.
When I arrived at our secret base at night, Leng Nuan was already standing there waiting.
Today's cold and warm, wearing a dark blue dress. The three thousand green silks still spread out, obscuring the side she didn't want me to see. The difference is that she wears a wreath of wildflowers on her head. The flowers are blooming as if they were still on the branches.
"Ah Nuan, why did you come so early?" I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and gently hugged her.
She turned around with a smile on her face and asked, "Yunhe, am I beautiful today?" ”
"Mei ......" didn't think about it, so she answered softly.
But who knows, Leng Nuan pretended to be angry, "It turned out to be in your heart...... I'm only beautiful today! ”
Well, I'll admit it.
I am always losing in front of cold and warm, and if I am not careful, I will fall into her trap.
"Where? You're beautiful every day, it's just that today is extraordinarily different. ”
"You're going to please me," Leng Nuan snorted, and put the garland on his head on my head, "Let me see if you look good in it." ”
"Where is there a man wearing something?" I frowned, and was about to take it down.
"Oh, don't move," Leng Nuan pouted, "I just want to see it......"
After that, his hand suddenly raised. The original white clothes on my body have turned into a bright red wedding dress.
Just when I was surprised, Leng Nuan was the first to laugh, "The groom and the groom in a wedding dress and a garland seem to be very different." ”
After speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at me seriously, and asked word by word, "Yunhe, you dressed up like this the day you got married, okay?" ”
When I heard this, I was shocked, and I always felt that Leng Nuan seemed to know something.
Her eyes were so serious that they made me panic a little.
"Nuan, are you ready to marry me?" I looked down at a bright red wedding dress and asked.
"Your cheap daddy has prepared a dowry for you, and he's going to give you an engagement, how long do you plan to hide it from me?" This time, Leng Nuan didn't laugh again.
Her expression was very lonely, and although there was no blame between her words, it was extremely distressing.
I saw that she already knew everything, so I no longer intended to hide it, "You know everything......"
"Have you forgotten who I am?" Leng Nuan did not answer the rhetorical question.
Yes, cold and warm are demons, and they have the ability to see through people's hearts.
"Ah Nuan, I won't marry her." The Word of My Promise.
But Leng Nuan smiled bitterly, "I asked you to go with me, but you don't want to." Isn't it...... Just for today? ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" I took cold and warm hands, "I just don't want to make Daddy Shen sad." ”
"You don't want to leave with me in order not to upset him. Will he marry the girl named Xiaoqing according to his wishes in order not to make him sad? ”
"No, it's different."
"What's the difference? It's all just to keep him from upsetting! As he spoke, Leng Nuan turned his face to the side, "Anyway...... You're always willing to make me sad. ”
"A Nuan ......"
"Marry her" Without waiting for me to speak, Leng Nuan continued, "I am a demon, you are a human being, and there is no good result between us. What's more, we said it back then. If you really can't marry a daughter-in-law, we'll make do with it.
Now, you have a bride-to-be who likes you so much, so naturally you don't need me. Marry her...... It's better than being with me. ”
"Cold and warm!" I clenched my warm hand, "I don't allow you to think nonsense!" ”
"What do you call me?"
"A Nuan ......"
"You call me cold and warm?"
Leng Nuan's thinking jumped so fast that even I couldn't keep up quickly, "You actually call me Leng Nuan?" You call me by my full name! Smell the clouds, you murder me! ”
"I ......"
"You are tired of being with others every day behind my back, and you have prepared a dowry to marry her. Right now...... Now you're still murdering me! ”
"Ah Nuan...... Actually, I ......"
"You bad guy!" Leng Nuan shouted, and shook off my hand. Then, with a turn, it completely disappeared from my eyes.
In the dark night, only her voice kept echoing in the air, "Marry her, this wedding dress is my wedding gift to you." Yunhe, acquaintance. May you grow old with her, and raise your eyebrows. ”
Cough......
Where is this?
Can anyone tell me what exactly I did? Why has everything been going wrong all these days?
Xiaoqing's problem has not been solved, and Leng Nuan has begun to play with the child's temper again.
I just fell in love with a girl. It's just that I just want to be with my beloved woman and live a small life, why is it so difficult?
I used to feel that the relationship between my father and mother was very tormenting and extremely grinding. But now think about it...... I talked about this storm, not as good as my father and mother.
……
Although Leng Nuan is angry with me because of Xiaoqing's affairs, it doesn't mean that I will accept the family affairs arranged for me by the elders.
Even if Dad Shen has already sent the dowry to the Lin family, even if as soon as I step out of the house, there are happy voices everywhere, but I still secretly make up my mind and never compromise.
It's just that......
Since that night, I've lost all contact with cold and warm.
She......
No matter how long I waited at our secret base, she never showed up again.
Many times, I have the illusion that I will lose her for the rest of my life. But I'm not reconciled to let the love that hasn't really started die like this.
I think maybe only if Leng Nuan really sees my determination will she reappear. will really understand my determination to her.
So, there is no hurry. It's just that day after day, watching those elders and Xiaoqing upside down, laughing so much that their eyes narrowed into a slit.
……
My marriage with Xiaoqing was decided in this way, and Father Shen and Uncle Lin built a wooden house very quickly. In addition, the people on the island have not seen the happy event for too long. So in order to drink the wedding wine earlier, they came to help. After only two months, the newlywed cottage was ready.
Immediately afterwards, Father Shen and Uncle Lin went to the town in person to buy the items needed for the wedding banquet. Then, on a good day, he sent a wedding card to the islanders and invited them to the wedding banquet.
On the eighth day of the sixth month, it happened to be the birthday of the queen mother, oh, it was really a wonderful day.
It's not a good day to choose, you have to choose this day! I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by God, or if it was the irony of my destiny.
However, it doesn't matter.
I won't marry this woman, it's the same on any day!
It's just that the eighth day of June, which I have been specially avoided in previous years, was taken out for no reason this year, and my heart is somewhat uncomfortable.
The Queen's Birthday...... I don't know if the palace will be lively on this day?
Probably so, right? The queen mother is already the empress, and her birthday banquet should be very grand.
Oh, that's fine.
Be lively, and the queen mother will be happy. When she's happy, I'm happy.
It's just that the mother's mind has always been sensitive. I don't know that in the night, the feast is gone. When Brother Yan and Yi'er are not by her side, will she think of me as a son? Do you feel sad when you think of me?
The more I think of my mother, the more sad I feel.
Sometimes I ask myself, if I am still with my mother, will I decide my marriage, or will I still have to obey my mother's arrangement?
