(30) Send something
Qi Heng returned home from the town, took out some of the things he bought and put them in, and then took the wrapped pastries, candies and silver hairpins and silk flowers into his room, he put the things on the table by the windowsill, and the person went to the kang, and took out a hairband from the purse, put it on his nose and smelled it.
He later went to the cave to find the hairband, and at that time he wanted to return it to her, but when he saw that she did not mention it, the ghost sent it to the gods, and he put it in his purse.
This thing has been left for almost a year, except for the occasional take it out to see, or wash it, he carefully collects it.
At first, he thought that he was just an adult male man, and a primitive desire for a cardamom girl.
Because I accidentally saw her wearing wet and close-fitting clothes, I saw the curve of the girl's posture, so the desire that aroused ~
But what about later?
Later he found out that things were far from being as simple as he thought.
He thought of the clothes in the cupboard, the clean home she cleaned when she came home yesterday, and the way she folded her clothes and put them in the cupboard, and he had a faint smile on his face.
The silver hairpin he bought, the bracelet he planned to give to her in person, and the four-colored sugar, thinking of hinting to her, if she nodded, he would~
Thinking of this, Qi Heng's face showed a smile again.
In the evening, he cooked and took out the wine he had treasured before, drank a little wine, his body was a little hot, and he was very happy to think about that thing, and he wanted to try his luck while the sky was still good.
Took some broken silver, thought about it and took out the pastries he bought today, walked to the village, walked for a while, and arrived at the door of Su Yi's house again, he Yu Guangzai carefully looked at the yard, only to see that the rooms in the courtyard were lit in twos and threes, he looked at Su Yi's room and looked, did not see Su Yi's figure, not even a shadow, he felt a sense of loss again, thought about it, forget it, picked up the steps and continued to walk forward, walked for a long time, and finally arrived at the door of a family, under the moonlight, the house in this family is painted bricks and red tiles, very good-looking, he knocked on the courtyard door, shouted: "Uncle Chen, I'm Qi Heng. ”
The old man in the courtyard, who had just returned from eating at his son-in-law's house, heard the sound and hurriedly opened the door.
"Uncle Chen. Qi Heng spoke.
"I brought you pastries, and the ones I bought in the town today are your favorite osmanthus cakes. ”
Qi Heng took the osmanthus cake and smiled at Uncle Chen, Old Man Chen saw that it was him, smiled and let the door open, and said: "I've let you break the bill again, you, it's time to save some money to marry a daughter-in-law~"
Qi Heng's feet had just stepped into the courtyard, and when he heard Uncle Chen's words, the tips of his ears turned red, and he lowered his head and said, "Uncle Chen, it's not a waste of money." ”
Then he walked skillfully into his yard and put his things on the table in his hall.
"You're not young, you should have considered family affairs a long time ago, tell your uncle, do you have a favorite girl?"
Old man Chen was wearing a gray-white robe and touched his whisker, which had turned white
Qi Heng's body was stunned, thinking of the figure in his heart, the tips of his ears turned even redder, as if his mind had been seen through~
He just thought about it, and he wanted to talk to Su Yi~
When Old Man Chen saw him like this, he was puzzled, and he took a closer look at him through the oil lamp lit up in the hall, and saw the tips of his slightly reddened ears.
He was even more puzzled in his heart, could it be that he was~
Got a girl you like?
He thought of what his granddaughter said to him, touched his beard, and said again: "Tell Uncle quickly, which girl is it? As long as it is a girl from our Qingshui Village, Uncle will immediately make the decision for you." ”
Qi Heng glanced at him, and heard him say that Uncle will call the shots for you immediately?
Uncle~
He opened his mouth, a little difficult to speak~
He opened his mouth again, only to feel very helpless~
What did he say?
Say that the girl I like is your granddaughter?
But isn't he going to do filial piety in place of Uncle Chen's son?
But now he wants to be his grandson-in-law?
Thinking of this, his face also turned red, if Su Yi had answered him now, he would have told Uncle Chen his thoughts directly, but he hadn't hinted and asked Su Yi what he meant~
If you are rash, say ~
Seeing that he didn't reply, Old Man Chen walked to the stool next to the desk and sat down, looked at him carefully, and opened his mouth again: "What, isn't it a girl from our Qingshui Village?"
Qi Heng felt Old Man Chen's gaze, his heart was worried, his face was a little embarrassed, thinking of Su Yi, thinking that he was called Uncle Chen, uncle, but he liked his granddaughter~
A little overwhelmed for a while, his expression was completely like a young boy with a stupid mouth who had seen through his mind, where was he like a 23-year-old man who had experienced wind and rain, he didn't know how to face Uncle Chen, and he was embarrassed to escape from this place, so he had to speak: "Chen... Uncle Chen, I'll handle this matter myself~ I'll leave first~"
Then he fled.
Old man Chen looked at his figure of running away, and his whole heart sank.
It seems that he really has a woman he likes, and he is not a girl from Shimizu Village?
Then his granddaughter's heart is afraid that it will be in vain?
Old man Chen was helpless, several children in the family grew up with him since childhood, Su Yatou is his first granddaughter, and the only granddaughter, she has been very cared for by the family since she was born, and her temperament is also pampered~
He touched his beard again and sighed, it seemed that this time the girl was going to be frustrated, and he just begged her not to sink deeply.
Qi Heng's face was a little burnt when he came out of the Chen family's courtyard, he was quiet at the gate of the Chen family's courtyard, and walked to his own courtyard again, marrying a wife and marrying a wife, why didn't he want to marry a wife.
The moon above his head was very big and round, and it was almost a full moon when he looked at it, and a breeze was blowing in his ears, he looked up at the full moon and thought of Brother Chen again.
The full moon and the full moon symbolize reunion, thinking of Brother Chen who died in his arms, the corners of his mouth showed a wry smile, Brother Chen back then, every full moon would talk about his hometown.
He probably didn't know what he was talking about, and his virtuous wife followed him when she heard the news of his death in battle. He probably didn't know that the father he was talking about, which was still young, had begun to have gray hair. I don't know that the brother-in-law who begged for his own sister in his mouth is now taking care of his father and son~
He wouldn't have known that the niece he was talking about was now a slim and charming girl.
Also, his brother wants to marry his niece, and he calls him uncle.
Thinking of this, he suddenly smiled, and then smiled bitterly.
If Brother Chen was still there, if he knew what he thought, I am afraid he would have beaten him up, after all, didn't the brother-in-law who robbed her sister in his mouth say that he had also been beaten away by him several times?
Qi Heng touched his face, if Brother Chen is here, hit this? or this?
He glanced at the moon hanging in the night sky again, smiled, and prepared to go home.
Qingshui Village is a beautiful place, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the folk customs are simple, and there will be villagers sitting under the big trees at the entrance of the village on autumn nights to chat and chat.
Qi Heng walked along the path around the center of the village, walked along one household after another, and walked to the familiar door of the Li family's courtyard, hearing the familiar girl's voice, Qi Heng looked into the small courtyard fenced by a fence, a woman was sitting under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, talking to the little boy next to her, the little boy next to her was discussing with her, the woman was Su Yi.
His pace slowed down, Yu Guangzai looked at the woman carefully, and saw that she was wearing a blue Luo skirt in the moonlight, her long hair was half pulled up, and she was facing herself sideways, Qi Heng thought of the wife that Uncle Chen just said, and remembered the silver hairpin he bought today, as well as the plan in his heart, the expression on his face softened more and more, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, looked at Su Yi a few more times, and then raised his pace and walked through the Li family's courtyard deliberately lightly.
Su Yi in the courtyard seemed to hear someone passing by outside the courtyard, she looked back at the courtyard, saw a somewhat familiar back, thought of who that person was, she looked at it twice, and did not speak again.
However, Ah Shui, who was beside her, noticed her sister's reaction, looked at her gaze again, saw Qi Heng, and said with some doubts: "Sister, what do you think Uncle Qi is doing?"
"No... Didn't do anything~"
Su Yi withdrew her gaze, glanced at her brother, and replied.
"Oh~"
"You're still talking outside, come in, Su girl, my mother has something to tell you~"
"It's coming, mother~"
Su Yi threw away her brother, stood up, patted her skirt, lifted her skirt and ran into her mother's room, her father was smoking a dry cigarette in the hall, and her mother's room was alone, and she was sitting in front of the big kang watching Su Yi come in.
"What's wrong, mother?"
"Come here. Su Yiniang beckoned.
Su Yi obediently stepped forward and sat on the big kang, the autumn day was hot, the doors and windows in the room were wide open, it was still a little hot, and Su Yi was not close to his mother.
Su Yiniang saw that she was seated, so she spoke: "Next month, you are going to be in time, I met your second aunt a few days ago, chatted a few words, she wants to tell you a matchmaker." That man is from the town, and the family does some small business, your second aunt said that the man is filial, good-looking, and down-to-earth, what do you think~"
Su Yi was stunned, in her previous life, she had fallen into the river today, she had never encountered this problem.
Su Yi thought for a while and said, "Mother, if that man is really as good as my aunt said, how can he take a fancy to me?"
"How can I not look down on you? My daughter looks good, can read and read medicinal materials, how many girls in these ten miles and eight villages are better than my girl?"
"Mother, you think of me like this, you don't think so in the eyes of others, besides, are you confused by what the second aunt said? You don't want to think about it, if it's really that good, why didn't the second aunt introduce that man to her own daughter?"
Soyi's father also has a younger sister, her grandparents died a few years ago, and when her grandparents were alive, her aunt and her family did not come and play much, and after the death of her grandparents, her aunt's family and her family had less and less contact.
The second aunt married to the town in her early years, opened a shop that sold breakfast, and her life was not bad, she had two daughters, the eldest daughter was as old as Su Yi, and in the same year, she was only two months older than Su Yi.
Su Yiniang thought about it, patted her forehead, and said helplessly: "You said that your mother and I are really confused, why didn't I expect this layer to be powerful." ”
"Forget it, but Su girl, you talk to your mother, do you have a favorite man?"
Su Yi thought for a while and said, "Mother, don't worry about this, I want to tell you and I'll talk to you again~"
"Hey, you girl~"
Su Yi jumped off the big kang and walked out of the door, saying as she walked: "Mother, don't worry about my marriage first, I make my own decisions, even if I get married later, you won't want me~"
She turned back to her mother and smiled mischievously.
"You said you stinky girl, didn't you raise you squeamishly for your mother, you are becoming more and more disobedient~"
Although Su Yiniang said so, she had a smile on her face.
Su Yi's father had just finished smoking and went back to the room, and what he saw was this scene, and he was a little curious: "What's the matter?"
"It's not your daughter, it's all because you have pampered her since she was a child, now it's okay, what do you say about your own marriage, do you see which girl's daughter is the same as your daughter?"
"Why did you talk about marriage?" said Su Yi's father with a smile.
"It was your sister who told me about a young man last time, and she wanted to protect the media. ”
"Why didn't you discuss this with me?"
"What's the use of discussing with you, if your daughter says she doesn't agree, and she cries, what can you do?"
Su Yi's father touched his nose, and was told that he was in his mind, and smiled flatteringly: "Which young man is the second sister talking about?"
"It is said that the surname is Wei, and the town street Zhenbei has moved to open a grocery store. ”
"The new one in the north of the town has moved to open a grocery store~" Su Yi's father thought for a while and then said: "That boy is a good person, and he is very clever in doing things~"
"So, you've seen that guy is not bad?"
Su Yi's father shook his head and said, "The person is not bad, but I look like a person who likes to go into the casino~"
"That's ~no~"
"It's not possible~"
"How can your sister introduce such a person to our Su girl~"
Su Yi's father didn't speak, thought for a while and said, "She probably doesn't know~"
"Why don't you know? Why don't they know if they live in a town? Why doesn't she know what even a driver who drives a car knows? I originally thought, after so many years, I thought she had become better, but I never thought about it, or such a thought~ I don't want our family to have a better life, right?"
"I've told you many times, don't pay attention to her, and you don't listen~"
"I don't listen, I always think that she is your own sister, thinking that the family has no overnight hatred, treat her with sincerity, and it's not for your face~"
Su Yiniang said, and her eyes turned red.
Su Yi's father looked distressed, and hurriedly walked two steps to her side, and said with a smile: "Then you will listen to me later, don't pay attention to her, and I will talk about her when I see her next time." ”
"What do you say, she's your own sister, what do you say?"
"My sister is not as important as my daughter-in-law~"
"Old and not serious, flamboyant, you are shameless~"
“......”
"Why is someone's aunt so good, why is my sister so good, tell me about your family~"
"There are always exceptions~ I'll talk about her next time, and you won't pay attention to her in the future~"
Indeed, there are always exceptions.
As soon as she married into the Li family, Su Yi's mother couldn't figure it out, and Su Yi couldn't figure out why other people's aunts were so good? Amiable, but what about her own aunt? How could she come back and give herself a good face? In fact, that's it, but in the past ten years, she has really gone too far in some things.
But there is no way, there are all kinds of people in this world, and there are all kinds of relatives.
Some relatives are really good, and some relatives want you to have a bad time.
