(12) The present world - quarrels

An Yue took a few deep breaths, walked for a while, and saw his mother and second brother in the field, she screamed a few times from afar, and An's mother also saw her own girl, and raised her head far away, An Yue stood on the ridge, took off her embroidered shoes and socks, tied up her trousers and went to her own field, and helped to do farm work together.

In this season, there is a lot of rain, and the weeds in the fields are luxuriant, and if they are not pulled out one by one, it will affect the growth of crops.

Mother An saw her daughter go down to the field, her sallow face was distressed for a while and happy for a while, "Did Ah Yue eat lunch, what do you want to eat at night?"

"Sister. Second Brother An's somewhat immature voice also sounded.

"Yes, mother, I also bought some pastries for everyone to eat, and also bought a piece of pork, and we will have a good meal at night at home." ”

An Yue glanced at her mother, and then at her brother, she actually didn't eat lunch, and it didn't hurt to be hungry.

"Okay, how much copper plate is a pound of pork in the town?"

"Not much~"

"Sister, what kind of pastry did you buy?"

"It's osmanthus cake~"

A conversation sounded in the field, and after a busy while, and looking at the sky, the three of them went to the stream to wash their feet, put on their shoes again, and went home.

The Qingming season is the day of sweeping the tomb and worshiping the ancestors, and the Qingming season is a good time for a spring outing.

Today, Fan Gongzi has nothing to do, he goes out to step on the spring alone, the weather is sunny and the spring is just right, walking on the small bridge just to see the boat rippling on the river, drifting outside, and suddenly a little homesick, but unfortunately the time has been in a hurry for three years, he has not returned home, thinking of returning home, Fan Gongzi sighed lightly~

He glanced at the streets of Luqiao Town again, although it was not as good as Dengzhou's light fireworks, and the life was rich and luxurious, but the life in the town was dull and quiet.

The scenery of the small bridge and flowing water, the coarse tea and light rice are also safe, Xu is the will of God, and he also met An Yue~

Thinking of An Yue, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he continued to walk forward, walked to a teahouse and drank a few cups of coarse tea, paid the silver and walked forward, and walked to a small grocery store, he recognized that this was the shop run by Granny Niu's youngest son, Fan Gongzi looked at the grocery store, the façade was a wooden carved door, he looked up coldly, and saw a man come out, the man Fan Gongzi was also familiar, it was Granny Niu's youngest son, and he was also the owner of this grocery store.

The man saw Fan Gongzi and greeted him warmly, and the two chatted a few words, Fan Gongzi bought some snacks, thinking that he would wait for An Yue to come back tomorrow and send them to her, which Cheng thought that when the man bent down to fill him with snacks, a purse fell out, Fan Gongzi glanced at it, he didn't care at first, then he thought about it, and then his heart was shocked.

He took the snack wrapped in his hand, watched the man pick up the purse, patted it and put it back in his arms, Fan Gongzi was calm on the surface and pretended to ask casually: "Your purse is good, presumably the one who sewed this purse is a clever person~"

"Is that a clever man~"

The man had a smile on his face, and before he finished speaking, a few more guests entered the man's shop and asked the man to buy something, and the man had to go to greet the other guests first~

Fan Gongzi stood in front of the door and glanced at the man, only to feel that the more he looked at it, the more dazzling he became, he was dressed in white like himself, not tall, not short, his body was thin, and he was very warm~

Fan Gongzi didn't dare to think about it anymore, he took the things in his hand and walked towards the academy, the weather was obviously so good, and the people on the road were also lively, but he looked sad and unhappy.

The youngest son of Granny Niu, who greeted the guests, glanced at the outside of the shop, Fan Gongzi was gone, and after thinking about it, he should have left, he reached out and touched the purse in his arms, his purse was embroidered by Miss An. He had heard his mother talk about Miss An's family, and knew that it was not easy for her, and he and Miss An had known each other.

Miss An embroidered a lot of embroidered handkerchiefs and made a purse to help him buy and sell, he saw that the purse was in good condition, so he simply used it himself.

The grocery store had another customer, and the owner of the store hurriedly went to greet him again.

On the streets, in the shops, in the teahouses, among the pedestrians, Fan Gongzi, it looks the same as in the past, but this is different again.

In the Qingming Dynasty, sweeping the tomb to worship, sweeping the tomb to worship the ancestors, the South Mountain and the North Mountain are full of people who are busy going to the grave and sweeping the tomb, some of the burned paper ashes are blown up by the wind blowing from afar, An Yue also picked a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain with his mother and went down the mountain.

At dusk, the silent cemetery is desolate again, but there may be rats, snakes, and insects sleeping on the side of the grave.

After dinner at home, the next day, almost noon, she gave more than half of the month's silver taels to her mother, and explained in detail that her father should pay attention to his injuries, take medicine on time, and accompany his grandmother, wipe her back and wash her hair, and talk to her mother about her private words, and tell her younger brother to read and read well.

I was ready to go back to the academy, before I returned to the academy, the sky began to rain, the rain continued, fluttering and sprinkling, An Yue had to let Uncle Li drive the carriage to send herself to the gate of the academy, as soon as she got off the carriage, she hurriedly knocked on the door of the academy, a student came out and opened the door, she hurriedly entered the academy, and hurriedly returned to her room, put down her baggage, took a few breaths, she went out of the door again, only a few days without seeing him, she missed him a little in her heart.

In the previous life, they quarreled this afternoon, in this life, she deliberately came back later, just to avoid the quarrel, there is an eaves outside the room, which can shelter some wind and rain, she knocked on the door next door, knocked halfway, no one, An Yue was a little puzzled, he should have quarreled with himself at this point in his previous life, but he is not here today?

An Yue had no choice but to go back to his room, take a big umbrella, and go to the stove room.

Granny Niu was in the stove room, and when she saw that her hair was a little messy and wet, she was a little distressed and said: "I'll quickly boil a pot of hot water for you, you wash your body, and I'll cook you a bowl of ginger soup again, so as not to catch a cold~"

An Yue was a little moved, no matter in her previous life and present life, Granny Niu treated her very well, she chatted with Granny Niu for a few words, squatted in front of the stove to make a fire, boiled boiling water, and she refused Granny Niu to help her carry the wooden bucket with boiling water into her room, and she carried it in bucket by bucket, and after mixing it with cold water, she closed the door and washed herself and green silk in the house~

After washing, she changed into a dry dress, took a dry handkerchief and wiped the green silk, and when the green silk was half dry, she took a hairband and tied it, cleaned up the house, and went to the stove with an oil-paper umbrella.

An Yue sat on the small bench, helping Granny Niu choose vegetables, and asked Granny Niu if she had seen Fan Gongzi, Granny Niu shook her head, she really didn't see Fan Gongzi today, in the stove room, An Yue looked out of the window from time to time, feeling a little uneasy, she sat on the low bench and continued to help Granny Niu choose vegetables, the Granny Niu wore a gray cloth fine cotton skirt, the skirt material looked much better than the material of the white light gauze dress on An Yue's body, she sat on another low bench and worked neatly, and chatted with An Yue.

"Ann girl, you little girl also buy two bright dresses to wear, your age is the best age, you should dress up beautifully, don't wear some dresses similar to my old wife all day long. ”

"I think it's good to wear the same color as Granny Niu, and it can also touch Granny Niu's blessings. An Yue blinked and smiled mischievously.

"You girl~" Granny Niu laughed, if you say blessing, this Granny Niu is indeed blessed.

"Ann girl, you are not young anymore, did your family say that they would help you see others?"

An Yue heard Granny Niu next to him ask this, and a bitterness surged up in his heart, and he replied with a pretended not to be shocked: "I'm still young, it's okay to wait another year or two." ”

"Are you still young? I remember that you will be sixteen years old at the end of this year, and when you are sixteen and eleven, you can say goodbye. ”

"If you don't tell you at home, can you trust me, Granny Niu? Do you want my Granny Cow to look at you?"

Granny Niu looked at An Yue with an enthusiastic face, she likes this girl, she has a good temperament, not squeamish, polite and diligent, and talented, and the most important thing is that the appearance is also good, in this town, it is rare to have this appearance. Besides, the affairs of her family will pass sooner or later.

"Thank you Granny Niu for your kindness, but I, I'll take a look first, and then talk about the words of my parents' matchmaker, I listen to my father~" An Yue thought of Fan Gongzi.

Hearing her say this, Granny Niu showed a knowing smile on her face, and said, "You tell your mother-in-law what is in your heart, do you like that Fan Gongzi~"

An Yue was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, stopped talking, and quietly chose the green vegetables, and heard Granny Niu speak: "Don't be embarrassed, my old woman is not a talkative person, I look at that Fan Gongzi for you, and it is also intentional~"

Granny Niu is a person who has come over, and looking at the relationship between the two, she has long known in her heart, and this question is just to probe her tone.

An Yue's head lowered lower, she thought about it, and changed the topic: "Granny Niu, when will Uncle Nian come back?"

"Your uncle, you should come back tomorrow, and I'll tell you the situation when the time comes, the thief who has been stolen with a thousand knives will catch him sooner or later and hit the board~"

"Trouble Granny Niu and Uncle Nian~" Granny Niu's husband's surname is Nian.

An Yue was grateful, in the past and present life, she went to report to the official, but the thief who stole was not found, and then she begged Granny Niu, let her help, Granny Niu's eldest son in the county as a catcher, even if it can't help a lot, you can also probe the progress of the case, Luqiao Town is far away from the county seat, a few days ago Uncle Nian was just going to see his eldest grandson, by the way to help An Yue, ask the thief who stole in the county Yali if there is any news, An Yue relived the time when he came back, Uncle Nian had already set off, reborn and came back, although An Yue knew that he couldn't find any news in the end, the thief was not found, but he was still very grateful to Granny Niu's family。

Uncle Nian is not at home these days, An Yue is not worried about Granny Niu going home alone at night, on weekdays, Uncle Nian comes to pick up Granny Niu, and then go home together, call on the younger son, to eat the meal that Uncle Niu made at home, her youngest son has a shop is also busy, the shop will not close until a little later, and every day is just the same time as Granny Niu waits for the students of the academy to finish eating, wash the pots and pans.

An Yue didn't worry about her, so she had to discuss with Granny Niu, and when she was asked to cook, she would go home first while it was still early, and she would go home early to cook some meals to eat with Nian San, and she would clean up the dishes and chopsticks in the academy, although she didn't clean it up in the end, it was all cleaned up by that person.

An Yue thought of that person, looked at the sky, and became a little worried, but she didn't know where to look for him, and she didn't usually see him go out alone~

She sighed a few times, and helped Granny Niu cook together, but it was cloudy outside, but the heavy rain slowly stopped. Fan Gongzi finally came back, he was drunk, his body was full of alcohol, he staggered and ran to the stove room to find water to drink, and when he saw An Yue and Granny Niu together, he looked sad, looked at An Yue, and smiled sarcastically~

An Yue stepped forward to support him, he waved his sleeves, without her help, he drank two sips of cold water, and staggered back to his room.

An Yue followed him and wanted to enter his room, but he snapped and locked the door, making An Yue a dark cloud~

An Yue stood in front of the door of his room, in his previous life, they quarreled today, but they didn't quarrel today? She shook her head, what's wrong? But she knocked on the door, he didn't open it, he locked it, and she couldn't.

Fan Wenshu in the room, slept all afternoon, until the evening, the sky had all darkened, he woke up, the light in the room was dark, he got used to it for a while, only to see where he was, he looked at the bed curtain, reached out and pressed his forehead, his head hurt and dizzy, he closed his eyes again, squinted for a while, then opened his eyes, took out the fire fold and lit the oil lamp.

The room instantly brightened, he smelled the strong smell of wine on his body, first changed into clean clothes, he was a little thirsty, but there was no tea to drink in the room, Fan Gongzi had to push open the door, and the stove room opposite was lit with an oil lamp.

An Yue, Mr. Zhou, and the students of the academy had already finished eating, and An Yue was sitting on a small bench with his back to the door of the stove room to wash the dishes and chopsticks. Fan Gongzi walked into the stove room and happened to see this scene,

On weekdays, he felt that she was kind in her heart and sympathetic to the cow mother-in-law, so he helped her clean up the dishes and chopsticks at night, but today he looked at how dazzling.

He was sensitive, angry, and thought about it carefully, I was afraid that it was because of what was between her and Granny Niu's youngest son, so she helped a subordinate to do that work, and he saw that Granny Niu was also very kind to her, as if she had given her a brush?

Fan Gongzi closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, his expression was still a little sad, he approached the stove room, glanced at An Yue, and said, "What are you doing?"

An Yue washed her hands with chopsticks for a while, looked back at Fan Gongzi, she put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "I'm washing the dishes and chopsticks? Are you awake? Are you hungry? I left food for you~"

Fan Wenshu's eyes darkened, and he only thought about the dishwashing chopsticks she said earlier, as well as the purse he had always minded in his mind~

Thinking of the purse, and thinking of Granny Niu and her little son, "You answered the purse that gave me?

An Yue shook his head, "I'll do it for you tomorrow, okay?"

A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Fan Wenshu's mouth, thinking of the purse that the young man he saw during the day yesterday who fell out, "I don't want tomorrow, where did the purse you made a few days ago go?"

He used to look at her making the purse, thinking that she was giving it to himself, but how ironic? The purse went into someone else's arms! The style of the purse, the embroidery, and even the ears of wheat~ He remembered them all in his heart, and he looked at it again and again? He also fantasized about what it looked like to hang it around his waist? But now, he has already fallen into the arms of other men!

An Yue was stunned for a moment, and some didn't know why he asked like this, the embroidered handkerchief and purse made a few days ago, she went to the third son of Granny Niu in the early morning of the day she went home to exchange for silver taels, and asked him to buy and sell.

An Yue can't say that something happened to my family and I asked for silver taels, so I sold my purse and embroidery?

She liked him in her heart, cared about him, and didn't want to tell him about her embarrassment, nor did she want him to know her embarrassment. If she let him know that she made all those purses and embroideries to sell, she would feel embarrassed to think about it.

She knew that the two had a huge disparity in identity, even if she repeatedly ignored the matter of identity, but she looked shabby in front of him.

Compared with him, she still has an inferiority complex in her heart.

Fan Gongzi saw that she couldn't answer, the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper, he glanced at the unwashed dishes and chopsticks in the wooden basin, and tasted a little: "This work was originally done by Granny Niu, when do you need to take it over?"

"It's just a subordinate, worthy of you being so good to her?"

An Yue heard his somewhat sarcastic words, just a subordinate?

Her expression darkened, to put it mildly, she is also a subordinate, she was also invited by Mr. Zhou to help, what is the difference in essence?

An Yue was also a little angry when he saw it, he didn't know where he went and who he drank so many drinks with, and when he came back, he lost his temper and changed his face, what are he saying now? and asked her about her purse? How is a purse later? What kind of tantrum does he have? If he really wants it, she is free, and she can make hundreds of them for him overnight?

She also said in a somewhat unkind tone: "You don't have to worry about it. ”

Fan Wenshu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, didn't drink any water, turned around and walked out of the stove room, An Yue looked at his back, his mouth was full, a little helpless and a little angry, the two of them had an inexplicable quarrel today in the previous life, so this life is like this?
