In the midst of people coming and going, the strange atmosphere between the two attracted many people to look sideways. Lu Zhengan didn't feel anything about this, but Song Huaishu felt a little uncomfortable when he felt everyone's eyes, and he didn't even know how to place his hands and feet.

In the end, Song Huaishu glanced up at Lu Zheng'an and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your help today, I, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”

After that, Song Huaishu didn't wait for Lu Zhengan to speak, lowered his head and left quickly along the crowd in front of him.

And Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu's emaciated back and disappeared completely from his sight after a few flashes.

Sighing in amazement, Lu Zhengan was completely out of interest, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Little brother, aren't you going to buy one for the mask?"

Hearing the voice of the mask stall owner, Lu Zhengan turned his head to look at the various masks placed on the stall next to him.

When his gaze was fixed on one of the rabbit-faced masks, Lu Zheng'an suddenly remembered the red-faced boy he had just met.

After chuckling, he took out two copper coins from his bosom and handed them to the stall owner, then took the rabbit mask and walked all the way forward with the crowd.

……

After a long morning, Lu Zhengan had nothing else to gain except for a rabbit mask.

During this period, although others came to talk to Lu Zhengan, Lu Zhengan didn't have any ideas, so he politely refused.

Seeing the sun rise into the middle of the day, Lu Zhengan took the mask and returned home. At this time, the Jiang matchmaker in front of the door was chatting happily with a plate of melon seeds.

Seeing Lu Zheng'an coming back, one of the matchmakers surnamed Zhang took the lead in asking, "Yo, little brother Lu is back?" How's it going, have you found anything that fits your eyes? ”

Lu Zhengan walked around all morning, and he was already a little tired. Seeing that there were still vacant seats next to a few people, he sat down directly regardless of the others.

"Look at what you said, mother-in-law, this kind of thing is not so easy to buy a chicken cub on the street, a duck cub. If I look away and find a stirrger to come back, won't the rest of my life be ruined? ”

Lu Zhengan's words caused everyone to laugh, and only a mother-in-law surnamed He on Lu Zhengan's right nodded in agreement.

"Brother Lu'er's words are not rough, just that Chen Xiucai in Ping'an Village, he originally drew Liu Xiuhua's face. As a result, after Liu Xiuhua got married and went home, she went to her mother's house with all the good things, and if she didn't give it, she would cry, make trouble, and hang herself. It's only been a few years of hard work, and the Chen family has been emptied. ”

"Then there is a girl surnamed Tu in Nanwan, everyone should remember it, right? looks good, has a gentle and graceful personality, and whoever sees it doesn't boast a few words. It's a pity that her father and mother gave her to a widower in the village in order to give her brother. No, it will be tossed and lost in less than two years. His father and mother went to the widower's house to make trouble, and in the end, they sent him away for five taels of silver. Isn't it ridiculous, you say? ”

Everyone has heard about Chen Xiucai and the girl surnamed Tu, and at this time, everyone carefully tasted what Lu Zheng'an said, and nodded their heads in deep opinion.

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was taking their attention away from him, and he picked up the mask and touched his empty stomach and stood up from the chair.

"Have the mothers-in-law had lunch?"

"After eating, I just asked the wonton seller next to us to cook a bowl for each of us, and we just ate it before you came back."

Hearing Mrs. Jiang's words, Lu Zhengan smiled. "Nacheng, I'm hungry after a morning of shopping, so I'll go home first and find something to eat to pad my stomach. If any mother-in-law is not full, tell me, you're welcome. ”

"We're all old women, and we can't compare to you young people. You can eat more, maybe you can help in the evening. ”

After that, the mother-in-law surnamed Zhang blinked her eyes, her expression was a little ambiguous, and the people on the side also covered their mouths and laughed, how bad intentions did they look at that expression.

Lu Zhengan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourds of several people, but he felt that there seemed to be something in the mother-in-law's words, and the meaning of these people laughing was unknown, and Lu Zhengan who looked straight at him was like falling into the fog.

Compared with Lu Zhengan's confusion, Song Huaishu, who sat on the top of the mountain and blew the wind for a long time, was a little melancholy.

Although this was his first time attending the Mid-Spring Meeting, he still knew a little about the Mid-Spring Meeting.

Knowing that the current excitement and criticism are nothing, the evenings are difficult......

Song Huaishu looked at the sunset hanging in the sky, and couldn't help sighing, and he was extremely resistant. But looking back at the fewer and fewer pedestrians behind him, Song Huaishu also stood up from the stone. Gently stomped on his already numb feet, felt the numbness on his legs recede a little, and then slowly walked down the mountain.

……

In the evening, Hualong Mountain has no longer the hustle and bustle of the day, except for the lively scene at the door of Lu's house, there is silence above and below the mountain.

Lu Zhengan, who was standing in the crowd, looked at the forty or fifty men and women standing around the bonfire with a shocked expression, recalling the sinister smile on his face when several official media talked to him in the morning, and suddenly understood what was going on in his mind.

He originally thought that this Laoshizi 'Zhongchun Meeting' was a large-scale blind date similar to the modern one, but at this time, when he heard Jiang Matchmaker's encouragement to those young people who looked at the right eye to go to the front of the flower, take a walk under the moon, and have a good understanding of each other, Lu Zheng'an was a capital fool.

For a moment, Lu Zhengan even thought he was dreaming!

In the past, he didn't have a lot of TV series, and those ancients valued men and women the most. Not to mention kissing and hugging and lifting high, even pulling small hands is impossible!

However, now Mrs. Jiang's words made him dumbfounded, he never expected that the people here would have such an open side......

Just when Lu Zhengan lost his mind, he only felt that his fingers hanging by his side seemed to be hooked by something. Lu Zhengan looked down and saw a slender finger trying to touch his palm again.

Lu Zhengan followed the finger and looked up, only to see that the owner of the finger was a girl standing beside him. Seeing Lu Zheng'an discover his small movements, the girl blushed and smiled at him.

Lu Zhengan is not a stunned young man who doesn't know what to do, where would he not know what the other party means. It's just that Lu Zhengan didn't mean much to her, and in the face of the girl's overture, Lu Zhengan had to smile apologetically, and then moved to the side.

When the girl saw Lu Zhengan like this, her originally bright eyes suddenly dimmed. However, there was no intention of catching up.

Seeing that the other party was not entangled too much, Lu Zhengan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Quietly exited the crowd and wanted to find a place where no one was there to hide, but when he looked up, he saw a few meters away, and Song Huaishu, who he met at the foot of the mountain during the day, also retreated from inside.

At this moment, the two looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the noisy crowd slowly dispersed, and Lu Zhengan walked through the scattered crowd to Song Huaishu.

"Seeing that you are not very old, I didn't expect you to come to the Mid-Spring Festival as well."

Hearing this, Song Huaishu nodded. "Well, in fact, I'm not small, and I'll be twenty-one in a while."

Under the light of the fire, Song Huaishu's face looked red. Lu Zhengan looked at Song Huaishu, who was only on his chest, and couldn't help laughing for a while.

Song Huaishu was a little inexplicable by his laughter, and was about to ask the reason, when he heard Lu Zhengan suddenly say: "Can there be someone who can see it?" ”

Song Huaishu shook his head helplessly: "It's not that I can't look down on others, the key is whether others can look down on me." ”

Hearing the melancholy in Song Huaishu's words, the smile on Lu Zhengan's face slowly receded.

Song Huaishu is not tall, and his body is thin and tight. Although he is not bad looking, he is really not a good candidate for a son-in-law for most people. And his clothes and conversation are not like he grew up in the village, and some of the family's property is better, if not, I am afraid that his livelihood is a problem.

Therefore, people are so realistic at all times......

"That's not what I said, anyway, now you and I haven't found anyone who fits our eyes, let's go somewhere else first."

As he spoke, Lu Zhengan pointed to several official media sitting around the bonfire, "Otherwise, if these mothers-in-law ask questions, we may not be able to withstand it." ”

Song Huaishu was a little uncomfortable, and when he heard this, he glanced up at several official media who were talking around the bonfire, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Chapter 5

Although it was dark, fortunately, Mrs. Jiang had led people to hang a lot of lanterns along the way, and she could barely see the road conditions under her feet.

In order not to disturb those 'wild mandarin ducks', Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu did not go far. Just followed the stone path that Lu Zheng'an had repaired before, and came all the way to a bamboo forest above the small courtyard of the Lu family.

The two of them each found a place to sit in the dim moonlight, looking at the bonfire in front of the Lu family's small courtyard, and the men and women and men who occasionally passed by in the garden below the slope, and the two did not speak for a long time.

After a while, Lu Zhengan withdrew his gaze from the bottom of the hillside, and saw a firefly falling on the blade of grass at his feet, and he couldn't help but be interested for a while. Carefully grasp the firefly into the palm of your hand and watch it crawl slowly in the palm of your hand.

Song Huaishu and Lu Zheng'an were originally a little nervous when they sat together, but after listening to the rustling sound from the bamboo forest above their heads and the sound of insects chirping from the grass, it didn't take long for the whole person to relax.

Looking sideways at Lu Zheng'an's childish act of catching insects, Song Huaishu was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently and turned his gaze into the distance.

However, at this moment, Song Huaishu heard the sound of a murmuring rope beside him, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw that Lu Zhengan had moved to him, only to see him holding his hands and holding the fireflies in front of him like a treasure.

"Do you want to take a look? You live in town, so you don't see this thing very often, right? ”

Song Huaishu nodded curiously at the small insects crawling around in Lu Zhengan's palm. Seeing that the firefly was about to cross Lu Zhengan's thumb, Song Huaishu hurriedly reached out and stopped the firefly.

"We are surrounded by people, and there is not so much grass and trees, so there are fewer insects. However, when I was a child, my father took me to visit relatives in the countryside, and I met him a few times. ”

Under the faint fluorescence of fireflies, Lu Zhengan clearly saw the smile on Song Huaishu's face when he mentioned his childhood. Recalling his situation at this time, as well as his parents who he never had the opportunity to see again in another world, he couldn't help but feel a little loss and envy in his heart.

"It's so good, unlike me, I've never seen my father and mother look like for as long as I can remember."

Song Huaishu didn't expect that Lu Zhengan's parents had passed away, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

"Your Daddy ......"

"Well, it's gone. I grew up with my grandfather. Afterward...... Grandpa is also gone, and I am left alone in our family. Lu Zhengan replied while teasing the fireflies in his hand with a bamboo leaf.

The breezy tone made Song Huaishu not know how to react for a while, and wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, but he always felt that any words seemed a little redundant. After hesitating for a while, he finally opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

Lu Zhengan couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that Song Huaishu hadn't spoken for a long time. Turning his head to see him wrinkled face, he couldn't help but laugh. "What's that look on your face? You're trying to comfort me, are you? ”

Hearing Lu Zhengan's words, Song Huaishu's face couldn't help but feel hot, but in the end he nodded honestly. "I just don't know what to say."

Song Huaishu's honesty moved Lu Zheng'an, and at the same time, he had a good impression of him in his heart. With a chuckle, he threw the firefly in his hand into the grass next to him, and after watching it crawl away, Lu Zhengan sighed as if he was relieved.

"I'm not as sad as you think. People, there is a certain number of birth, old age, sickness and death. It's useless to be sad, as long as you're alive, you always have to look forward. ”

"I'm living a good life now, and the whole family is not hungry when I have enough to eat. You can do whatever you want, and this kind of freedom is something that many people can't think of. ”

Lu Zhengan's free and easy really made Song Huaishu not expect, but although Lu Zhengan said it lightly, he imagined Lu Zhengan's daily life alone, and he always felt that such days were too lonely.

"You still have to be a family, if it's too lonely, it's not interesting to celebrate the New Year."

Speaking of this, Lu Zhengan looked up at the stars in the sky and sighed, "This kind of thing depends on fate, it really can't be done." ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu couldn't help but feel a little envious, lowered his head and picked his sleeves, and said helplessly: "What can you do if you don't make do." Truth be told, I'm already twenty-one this year. If you can't start a family, you have to pay a fine, and you may even have to worry about your parents. It was not easy for my parents to raise me as an adult, and I always felt guilty when I was old. ”

Hearing that Song Huaishu was a year older than him, Lu Zhengan was really a little surprised. I took a closer look at Song Huaishu by the moonlight, and when I saw his slightly immature face, I really didn't expect that he was already in his twenties.

"When you say that, I don't think I should have dragged you along. If you take a fancy to you, or if you like you, won't I block your peach blossoms? ”

Song Huaishu heard Lu Zheng'an say this, and opened his mouth to refute, but before he could make a sound, he heard a soft snort suddenly come from the bamboo forest above their heads. Then, I heard a woman's scolding and pushing.

The two of them didn't expect someone to be so bold, and they were shocked on the spot for a while.

However, Lu Zhengan was the first to react, stretched out his hand and poked Song Huaishu, who was already frozen in place and did not dare to come out, and made a walking movement with two fingers, signaling him to hurry down the mountain.

Seeing that Song Huaishu nodded in understanding, Lu Zhengan got up and cautiously touched the hillside.

However, Song Huaishu had never experienced such a thing, and he was more embarrassed than nervous. At this time, the movement on the slope was getting bigger and bigger, and Song Huaishu saw that Lu Zhengan had successfully descended the slope, so he immediately walked down.

However, Song Huaishu is not familiar with the road conditions here, and his legs and feet have become numb after sitting cross-legged on the ground for a long time. As he ran downward, his numb right foot stumbled on a raised stone, and the whole person immediately threw himself downward.

After Lu Zhengan ran to the bottom of the dirt slope and stood still, he was about to turn back to see if Song Huaishu had followed. However, as soon as he turned his head, he heard an exclamation from behind, and then turned around and saw Song Huaishu on the slope rolling all the way down.

Seeing Song Huaishu rolling down the hillside, Lu Zhengan was taken aback, and before he had time to react, he immediately took two steps forward, bowed down and wanted to catch Song Huaishu rolling down.

Which Cheng thought that Song Huaishu was not heavy, but he couldn't resist the impact of rolling down the slope.

After Lu Zhengan caught Song Huaishu, the whole person was immediately knocked back two steps. Immediately, he sat on the ground with Song Huaishu in his arms.

Fortunately, it is the height of spring, and the weeds on the slopes have begun to grow. When Lu Zhengan sat down on the ground, these weeds helped to act as a buffer. However, when his left ankle touched the ground, he twisted it, and Lu Zhengan, who was in pain, couldn't help but gasp.

Lu Zhengan held Song Huaishu in his arms to relieve the sharp pain in his heart, and saw that the person in his arms still had no reaction, so he asked worriedly: "How are you?" Are there any injuries? ”

Song Huaishu leaned on Lu Zhengan's arms, his eyes full of confusion. After hearing Lu Zhengan's voice, his consciousness returned little by little.
