(xxxvii) and 笄
"Knock knock~" The door of the Li family's small courtyard was knocked on~
Su Yiniang heard the sound and hurriedly put down the things she was sorting out in her hand to speak.
In the small courtyard of the Li family, Su Yi also heard the sound in her room, she quietly moved her body, went to hide behind the door, pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sound outside, she suspected that he was coming, and only he would be diligent when he came to her house~
But I can't listen carefully~
The entrance of the Li family's small courtyard.
"Brother Heng, why are you here so late?" Su Yiniang said.
"Sister-in-law~" Qi Heng heard Su Yiniang call himself Brother Heng, and thought of the things in his heart~
The tips of the ears were quietly dyed red.
Then he lowered his head, paused, looked at the bamboo basket he was holding in his hand, and handed it to Su Yiniang, he didn't look at Su Yiniang, the tips of his ears were slightly red, and he said: "Sister-in-law, this is what I saw on the mountain, look familiar, you see if it's your sister-in-law." ”
"And ~"
Qi Heng took out the kettle in his other hand, handed it to Su Yiniang, and said, "There is also this kettle, it looks like my sister-in-law's house~"
Su Yiniang took a look, in the dark night, under the moonlight, the oil light of the hall spread, and Su Yiniang looked again, it was really her family.
She took the kettle, took the bamboo basket, then put the bamboo basket on the ground, looked at Qi Heng and said, "Trouble Brother Qi, how can this thing be on the mountain?"
She thought about it again, hey, last night she told Su Yi to go up the mountain to pick up some dried leaves and come back, today she came back from the town and asked her, did she pick up, she just shook her head.
She also said a few words about Su Yi at the time.
Can now?
Why was it sent by Qi Heng? Could it be that the girl fell on the mountain?
Su Yiniang thought for a while, and then said, "Thank you, Brother Heng, please take a trip." ”
Qi Heng shook his head.
Su Yiniang looked him up and down, feeling that he was a little weird today, and then, Su Yiniang remembered something, "By the way, Qi Heng, tomorrow my family Su Yi and Xuan, Brother Heng are going to come to dinner." ”
And what is it?
By the way, he also bought a gift for Su Yi~
Thinking of her and Xuan, thinking of waiting for her and Xuan that he thought about before, when she was finally older, he asked her what she thought, and he came~
Proposed~
But now~
Qi Heng nodded, glanced at Su Yiniang, and said, "Okay, I will definitely come tomorrow." ”
He even ignored his sister-in-law and simply stopped screaming.
Then the two said a few more words by the way, and Qi Heng left.
In the small courtyard of the Li family, Su Yi watched her mother come in, still holding the things she brought before going up the mountain today.
Remembering that thing~
It was when she saw Qi Heng that she ran away and fell~
Later, she escaped from the cave, and where will she remember this thing.
Only when I went home, my mother asked, and I thought that I had fallen in the mountains, but I didn't want to be scolded by my mother, so she simply said that she didn't pick it up, thinking that she would find a free time tomorrow and go up the mountain to find it.
Now, is he giving it, sending it?
Su Yi leaned her back against the door frame and thought about the day~
His face burned a little again.
She reached out and touched her lips, here, he had kissed her twice.
Her face burned more and more, thinking of when Qi Heng kissed herself~
But he~
It's so annoying, she scolded him in her heart again, it's really annoying, that scoundrel, that bastard, that villain, it's so shameless, it's too shameless.
However, she remembered what he had said when he grabbed her hand during the day.
He was explaining what happened to him and Miss Zhou, and he asked himself why he ignored him.
Su Yi reached out and touched her little face, and before she had time to think about it, she heard footsteps again, and then her mother's voice came~
When Su Yiniang put that thing in the stove room, she came to knock on her daughter's door.
Walking to the door of Su Yi's room, Su Yi Niang said, "Su Yi, have you slept?"
Then she stretched out her hand and pushed again, Su Yi wanted to avoid her mother, but she thought, her mother had already pushed the door, she shook it, and quickly stood up, she didn't lock the door when she just came to peek.
Saying that, Su Yi Niang had already pushed the door open and came in, and Su Yi quickly flashed to the side.
There was an oil lamp in her room, the oil light was not very bright, but it was not dim, and she wore a plain white coarse cloth dress, which was still the one during the day, and she did not change it.
She had a delicate face, a slender neck, shaved shoulders and a thin waist, not tall, but her posture was very coordinated, and at this time she pretended to be calm to see her mother who suddenly broke in.
Su Yiniang glanced at her daughter, looked at her again, and said angrily, "What are you doing here?"
"I didn't do anything. ”
"I came back from town this afternoon and asked if you went to pick up dry leaves, didn't you say you didn't go? Why did your Uncle Qi see our kettle on the mountain again?"
She looked at her daughter carefully, and wondered why she lied to her.
Su Yi was angry, thinking of Qi Henglai, and scolded him again in his heart, this bastard, who wanted him to send it, who wanted him to take it down?
Bastard, asshole.
Shameless bad thing~
She looked up at her mother's appearance, suddenly thought about it, and pretended to be pitiful and said: "Mother, didn't I go up the mountain to pick it up during the day?" Later, I saw a piece of ripe goat's milk fruit (a local autumn ripe wild fruit) in the mountain, and put the bamboo basket and kettle again, and went to pick the goat's milk fruit, picked and picked, and went away, forgetting the bamboo basket and kettle~"
She paused, and then pretended to be pitiful and aggrieved: "When I went down the mountain, I took a handful of goat's milk fruit, and I originally wanted to leave it for you and my father to taste, but I knew that you and my father came back late, so I ate it first." ”
After eating, I remembered that there were still bamboo baskets and kettles that had fallen in the mountains, but I didn't dare to go up because it was getting late. ”
"If you asked later, I was afraid of being scolded, so I said I didn't go~"
When Su Yiniang heard her say this, her face was much better.
Then she looked her up and down again, and said, "Today you go to boil hot water by yourself, wash your body well, and then wash your hair, and tomorrow you will wear a new dress, which is the one I made for you a few days ago." ”
Su Yi nodded, obediently pushed her mother out of the door, and went to the stove room by herself.
stove room.
There was also an oil lamp lit in the stove room, and Su Yi washed the pot with water, put water into the pot, then covered it, and then went to squat in front of the stove hole and began to make a fire.
The flames in the stove flickered and flickered, and Su Yi's thoughts didn't know where to go.
"Smack~"
The cracking sound of burnt wood also interrupted Su Yi's thoughts, and she looked at the stove again, then picked up the low bench next to her and sat on it.
Then I added a few pieces of firewood to the stove hole.
Su Yi looked at the flames in the stove and looked at the dry wood on the side, feeling a little complicated and a little weird.
I thought of Qi Heng, and I thought of the firewood I picked up in front of the stove in Qi Heng's yard~
I remembered that day again~
That day~
Qi Heng~
She saw Qi Heng's strange thing~
That thing is so weird, long, weird~
Look, it's still a little hard!
Terrible!
That strange thing was still on her today.
Terrible~
Her face was red, she thought about it, she was a little annoyed in her heart, she scolded Qi Heng again, and scolded herself again, shouldn't she hate him? Should she beat him up?
But why did I see him, again~
Can't get your hands on it?
Obviously he was drunk that day, she could have beaten him up!
However, I can't do it~
Why don't you think you can't take advantage of people's danger?
Huh, he likes to take advantage of people's danger?
"Hey~"
Soe sighed.
Forget it, if you can't do it, then you will be cold to him, ignore him, whoever calls him is so shameless.
She added a few sticks of wood to the hole, and it wasn't long before the water in the pot boiled again.
Then he got up, blushing, and went to open the lid, and went to get the bucket, and the scoop for drawing water, and got hot water, and went to the ear room behind the stove, which was connected to the stove.
She poured the hot water into a clean tub first, and then went out to get a bucket of cold water to mix it.
Then she went back to her room, took her clothes from the closet, and went into the ear room, and closed the door that connected the ear room to the stove room, and undressed herself in it, and took a bath.
After taking a shower, she went to fetch water and wash her hair again.
After she had washed herself, she went back to her room in her new and clean clothes and looked for a dry handkerchief to wipe her head.
She sat on the big kang in the room and wiped her head, and the window of the room was open.
Then Su Yiniang heard the movement, went to the stove room, and then went to the ear room, and packed up her dirty clothes in the ear room, and then went to the stove room to pick up the fire that had not been extinguished, threw a few firewoods into it, fetched a pot of water, and prepared to wash herself after boiling for a while.
Seeing that the fire was gradually rising, she got up, went to fetch water and washed her hands, and then went to Soe's room.
Su Yi sat on the big kang and wiped her hair, she stepped forward, sat next to Su Yi, took the handkerchief in Su Yi's hand, and gently wiped her little by little, wiping it while saying: "This hair, you have to dry it before you can sleep, otherwise you will have a headache the next day, for what your mother said to you, you have to remember." ”
"Well, I got it. ”
"You're not small, there are some things, your mother taught you, you have to keep it in mind, tomorrow when you are ready, you are a big girl, in the future, you will also be a lady of others, a mother of others!"
Speaking of this, Su Yi Niang sighed a little again, and then she spoke: "Su Yi, when you are ready, for your mother, you must show you a good family, of course, you must be willing." ”
Then she sighed again: "This day, it's really fast, in the blink of an eye, you will be in time, I think that the meeting that just gave birth to you seems to be still in front of you, this blink of an eye, you are going to be in time~"
Although she was talking, her movements in her hands were very gentle and careful, wiping Su Yi's hair little by little.
When Su Yi heard her mother say this, she also sighed a little in her heart, and she said, "The days do pass quickly~"
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, you're so big~"
Su Yi heard her mother's tone, she thought for a while and said coquettishly: "Mother, even if I am so old, I am still your intimate little padded jacket." ”
"Haha~ You girl, you still have a little padded jacket, you, don't be angry with me!"
Su Yi Niang suddenly laughed when she heard Su Yi say this.
"Am I not my mother and father's little padded jacket? When it's cold, you will add clothes, and when it's hot, I will persuade you to take off your clothes, well, it's a little padded jacket that knows cold and knows hot~"
"You damn girl!"
Su Yi is literate and has also gone to private school for a few years, but to really talk about it, it is only stronger than not being literate and going to private school.
Without him, it was all because Ah had a lot more underwater work than her.
Su Yi Niang carefully wiped Su Yi's hair, wiped it, and Su Yi suddenly said: "Mother, or you can sleep with me today." ”
"How?"
"I~ I thought that I was going to meet tomorrow, and I was a little nervous~"
"What are you nervous about? you girl~"
"If I wait until your mother and I go to sleep, then I will have to wait for a while, and I will have to take a shower and wash my hair." ”
"Then mother, go take a shower first, and I'll wipe my hair myself. ”
"Okay, I'll go see if the water is hot. ”
As she spoke, Su Yi Niang gave Su Yi the handkerchief in her hand and asked her to wipe her hair, get off the kang, and go to the stove room.
Su Yi looked at her mother's back, and suddenly smiled on her face.
Then she took a handkerchief and wiped her hair.
Rubbing and rubbing, she also got off the kang, walked out of the room with her shoes on, and walked to the courtyard, there was a tree in her yard, she walked under the tree, her black hair was slightly dry and scattered behind her head, she looked left and right at the yard of her house, and took a few deep breaths.
It smells so good.
It smells much better than the smell of the underworld.
By the time Su Yi Niang finished bathing and washing her hair, Su Yi's hair had been completely dry, and there was a slight breeze floating from time to time in the autumn evening, and she was standing in the courtyard.
Her father and Ah Shui had already gone to bed first, her father had a hard time driving the car, and every day when he went home to have dinner and rested, and then washed up, he would go to sleep first.
When her mother came out, her hair was also moist, but her mother was also wrapped in a handkerchief, just like her.
Su Yi saw that her mother had washed and came out, so she hurriedly ran to get a small stool and put it in the yard for her mother to sit on.
Then she went to find a clean dry handkerchief, and wiped her mother's moist hair little by little, carefully and gently.
The night is getting thicker and thicker, and the autumn evening breeze is blowing, and in a small courtyard in the small village, a girl with a dried green silk hair is carefully wiping her wet hair for her mother.
The two were chatting about something while wiping, and time was passing away little by little, but fortunately, the hair was wiped clean little by little.
Then the mother and daughter entered a room together, and Soe closed the door and opened the window slightly, so that the autumn night breeze could blow into the room to dissipate some of the heat.
Then, the oil lamp is blown out, the shoes are taken off, the coat is taken off, the kang is on, and the mat is laid.
The mother and daughter lay down on the mattress together and prepared to sleep.
Su Yi smelled the breath of her mother's body, showed a faint smile on her face, hugged one of her mother's hands, closed her eyes, and fell asleep with a comfortable face.
Su Yiniang, tilting her head sideways, saw her daughter's appearance like this, smiled, moved again, pulled the thin quilt, and put the corner of the thin quilt on her daughter's belly.
In the dark night, in the room, she looked at her daughter's appearance again, and sighed in her heart, time really flies, and in a blink of an eye, her daughter has also reached the age of being married.
Day 2.
Qingshui Village is not rich in Luqiao Town, and the Li family is not very rich, but they love their daughter very much.
The daughter of the Li family, and the daughter, invited the village to have a good relationship, and the nephew of the Li family, Ah He, also remembered his sister's day and also came back from the county academy.
Su Yi's father and mother cherished their daughter, added a lot of gold and silver jewelry to her, cousin Ah He also gave her a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and the fashionable silk flowers in the county, Su Yi's younger brother Ah Shui also prepared silk flowers for his sister, which he saved for a long time and bought the pocket copper plate that his father and mother gave him on weekdays.
On this day, everyone happily ate wine and added gifts.
And Qi Heng, on the surface, brought up a lot of the prey he hunted to add food to the Li family, and he also prepared the things he bought before in his arms, he wanted to find an opportunity to give the prepared things to Su Yi, but Su Yi tried to avoid him as much as possible, not only that, but also avoided him.
In front of so many villagers, Qi Heng couldn't say anything, and it was not easy to show it.
I can only eat this wine, this meal, and this food.
But he was thinking about things in his heart.
