said that the Liang family was on the side, Liang Gong bought wine and food on the street, handed them to Widow Yi and Aunt Liang, and added a strict head, and several lonely people would also have a reunion banquet.

After the meal, they went to their respective homes, and the scene was deserted for a while, with only a bright moon hanging over the courtyard wall. Lianggong stood under the wall, listening to the gossip of the neighbors after dinner, all of which were broken and messy, and no matter how hard he put together, he couldn't spell a full life for the people in the words.

Aunt Liang cleaned up the house, didn't hurry to rest, called Liang Gong into the main room to talk, and asked him about his situation in You's house. Liang Gong sat down on the chair with a blue and gray straight body, "It's all good, the big family is not embarrassed, aunt don't worry about me." ”

The lonely lamp was unknown, and Aunt Liang sorted out the newly made quilt along the stitches, and then sewed stitches and threads, "I heard that this master of the You family is a good man, but under the eaves of people, how can anyone not bow his head?" I know that you have been a little arrogant since you were a child, if it weren't for the five taels of silver, how could you be willing to be a slave to others? ”

"It's not like there's no way around."

Aunt turned her head to look at him, "Why can't you do it?" It's not that you don't have your father's craftsmanship in your hands, so you want me to say, save some money to find a shop, and do the small business of selling umbrellas. After two or three years, I have more than ten or twenty taels of silver in my hand, and I ask a matchmaker to ask for a daughter-in-law, even if I have an explanation for your father. ”

Whenever it comes to buying and selling umbrellas, Liang Gong is silent. It's the same now, Aunt Liang knows, it's nothing more than because of his parents.

In his early years, his father was good at craftsmanship and his business was better than that of other families, so his wealthy colleague asked him to make umbrella bones, but he didn't agree, which naturally offended people. Maybe there is another reason, his mother was born too well, and she recruited too much.

In short, I don't know if it was a business or a woman's business that year, and I provoked a few ruffians to beat his father, and he didn't survive for a few days.

As soon as his father died, some officials came to the door to pester his mother, and her mother ran all over the major yamen empty-handed, and finally had nowhere to complain, and she was hanged.

His father said to him on his deathbed, "When a man is alive, he has no power to have money." ”

Liang Gong remembered these words, although he had the craft, he didn't want to do that small business that didn't see the light of day.

His aunt persuaded him not to move at this end, so he had to persuade the other side fiercely, "As the saying goes, if you start a family and start a business, you can put it aside for a while and plan slowly." It's not good to put off any longer on your life's events. ”

Liang Gong remained silent and held a teacup in his hand. My aunt glanced at his face, and then said, "Speaking of which, I delayed you, if you are alone, with your talent, it may not be difficult to talk about family affairs." Or it's just a biological father, but it's a useless aunt, and it's often sick......"

Before he finished speaking, Liang Gong interjected and interrupted, "Don't say that. ”

The aunt swallowed back the presumptuous words below, and turned her head to Widow Yi, "I looked at this year coldly, and I think Widow Yi is good." Although she is a widow's family and has a son in tow, she is also diligent and a person who lives a life. Besides, they are all neighbors, and they know the roots. When she is filial, I ask a matchmaker to go and tell her. What do you mean? ”

Liang Gong only felt that his heart was empty, and there was nothing special about it. Although Widow Yi is a widow, she is outstanding in appearance, and she is a family, and there has always been no shortage of matchmakers. However, because of the filial piety period, there is no accurate word to return to those people for the time being.

Naturally, she has always been unsure of Lianggong. Liang Gong never asked her. The two of them were very silent on this matter. If it weren't for my aunt asking tonight, Lianggong would never think about it.

Even thinking about it is a pipe dream. He looked up at the moon outside the window and felt that it was a grand wish, that he was just a subtle ant under the ambition. He looked at it, but he never felt that it could be touched.

The wind was as thin as the night, and Liang Gong sat in the main room for a while, and as soon as he pushed open the door of the east chamber, he heard two cuckoos on the other side of the wall. Where did the bird call come from in the middle of the night, this was the code he had agreed with Widow Yi earlier.

Quietly pushed open the courtyard door next door, and saw that the lights were not turned off in the main house, and a line of light that was clearly extinguished came out through the half-hidden door, and Widow Yi was holding the child in her arms and patting it.

Seeing Lianggong come in, he put the child on the small bed at the other end of the house, dragged the person to the cover screen, put down the curtain, turned his head and asked with a smile: "When will you leave tomorrow?" ”

Liang Gong smiled and looked at her twice, and noticed that her smoky face had changed its color at the moment, her cheeks were red, and Cui Dai was smoking, obviously because she had come back to add makeup. Why is it so solemn? He still has this self-confidence, and he knows it's for him.

His legs seemed to be unbearable, and he leaned crookedly in front of the window, joking improperly, "What, this will be a little reluctant?" ”

"Phew!" Widow Yi took a sip, walked up to him, rolled her eyes a few times, and her smile became gentle, "When will I leave, I can make you a few months of dumplings in advance." Don't look at the You family's food and drink, but the moon cakes of these big families are just bought from outside to suit the occasion, and they may not be as delicious as the ones I made. ”

Liang Gong hugged her waist head-on, "Thank you for your concern, I will leave early tomorrow, so I won't bother you." ”

Widow Yi was secretly unhappy, he just didn't love to accept other people's affection, for fear of owing someone. But they have this paragraph, in the end, others should be closer, and he has been taken care of a lot, and he refuses to accept this good, as if he is a little rejected.

She pushed his chest, withdrew from his arms, and went to the opposite wall to cut the lanterns, "You don't want to be right, I'm too lazy to bother." ”

As she spoke, she squinted her eyes with her back to her, not seeing the gesture that he was going to look at too, "What do you aunts and nephews say at night?" Your aunt didn't complain about my poor care of her, did she? ”

In fact, it was because these days that Aunt Liang had secretly tested the meaning of her family affairs, and she intended to spy on him.

Who knew that he was doing nothing behind his back, "What else can I say, but I am persuaded not to be a subordinate to others, for fear that I will not be wronged." I haven't thanked you properly, I'm not at home, and you're willing to take care of it. ”

With a "snort", she cut off a piece of blackened candle and put down the cold scissors, "It doesn't take much trouble, just through the wall, and you can't walk two steps back and forth." What's more, your aunt is very polite, and often leaves our mother and son to eat there, and I have saved a few mouthfuls of food at home. ”

Liang Gong looked at her slender waist, the night breeze lingering in her chest, empty and gloomy. He lowered his head and looked at the indigo toe, the upper had already been worn thin and thin, and he smiled indifferently, "You have no food at home?" ”

"It's almost bottoming out, are you going to buy it for me?" Widow Yi slammed back, her eyes crooked. looked at it, and smiled gloomily and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, "I can't stand your kindness anymore, so that the neighbors in the alley can see it, and I don't know how to talk about it." ”

"What is there to talk about the relationship between neighbors?"

"If you don't talk about it, why should I accept your affection?" She looked at him for a moment, and when she saw that he turned his face to the side and was silent, she found it boring, and turned her eyes to the side to look at the lamp on the table.

The red candle is half-broken, shining on the gray mottled half of the wall, and the gray and white can't be distinguished, just like whether she has a feeling in her heart, and she can't tell it. If no one talks about it, it's just a day. Now that people are mentioning, how long can they be mixed? You can't spend the rest of your life blindfolded and blindfolded.

She also propped her hands on the edge of the bed casually, but her upper body straightened up, and she looked solemn, "I'm not the one who takes advantage of others, since the dead ghost is gone, you pity our orphans and widows, always help, we also have to know how to measure." After all, you are just a neighbor, and there is no such thing as 'should' for us mother and son. ”

Liang Gong held his lower lip, turned his face sideways, and lowered his head again, "That's not what I said......"

"What do you say then?" Widow Yi twisted her eyes back, and the candle flame that was clearly extinguished still lingered in her pupils.

Liang Gong's heart "chuckled" and fell to the bottom of his stomach. He understood what she meant, but he looked at her slender waist and sat there, and his impulsive words could only be stuck in his throat. With her appearance, even if she drags a child, as long as her eyes are not above the top, it is easy to find a better gateway than him.

He may have a slim future, but that's just gambling with everything. In his heart, he had already decided to live this sloppy life of inaction, and those calculations were just to comfort others and coax himself.

It's just a matter of coaxing yourself, how can you coax a pair of poor orphans and widows again? Therefore, he only smiled crookedly in silence, looking like a scoundrel with a hippie smile.

In fact, he also has something on his mind, and he is not enough to worry about.
