Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

Xia Jiniang knew Zhang's house quite well, and knew where to get water without Zhang He's reminder, but she also got a wooden basin for washing from Aunt Li's house.As soon as she left, Zhang He also left the wing.

With a "squeak", the door of the wing room was gently closed, and Xia Da, who was snoring like thunder on the bed, suddenly fell silent.He raised his head and glanced at the door. Although his face was still very red, his eyes were not at all clouded like drunk unconsciousness.

Xia Cuishi and Xia Jiniang came from Li's house together, Xia Cuishi was a little surprised when she saw her daughter find the water tank with ease, but she didn't say anything.She said to Xia Jiniang: "Let mother come!"

She fetched water, took the sweat towel and brought it into the room where Xia Da was lying. She sighed helplessly when she heard the snoring.Just as she put down the tub, Xia Da got up and looked at the door furtively. She was startled, and Xia Da quickly told her to keep quiet: "Shut up, go and close the door."

Xia Cui was puzzled, but still listened to his words and closed the door, turned around and blamed: "You are not drunk!" She wondered in her heart that Xia Da was not drunk, why did she pretend to be drunk!

Xia Da soaked the sweat towel in clear water, felt the coolness of the water, and then wrung out the sweat towel to wipe his face. When he heard Xia Cui's slightly reproachful words, he was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "Although I seldom drink , but only three bowls of wine can do anything to me? It’s just that my elder brother wants me to be drunk, so I followed his wish and see what he wants to do.”

Xia Cui's eyes widened: "Brother Gui persuaded you to drink? What is he doing for?"

"I didn't really understand it at first, but I vaguely understood it after seeing the current situation." Xia Da said, and sighed softly.

"What's the situation now?" Xia Cuishi was confused.

"This noble brother got me drunk, presumably in order to keep us here, but the Li family doesn't have any spare rooms, so he must let others take us in for a night, and in this Qinghe village, he has such ability , and the one who is close to the Li family is Erlang's Zhang residence."

Don't look at Mr. Xia thinking that he has no opinion because he indulges his younger brother. He understands better than anyone else that he just doesn't want to hurt the harmony of the family, so he tilts the balance between his wife, daughter and father's life.

He also understands that Xia Cui's family blames him, but in fact, Xia Luojin's expenses for studying in these years can be fully paid by himself?It's not because old man Xia is subsidizing behind his back!He didn't tell his wife and daughter, but he was afraid that Xia Jiniang would complain about his elder brother and alienate the relationship between siblings.

Although he knew very well that Xia Jiniang was not the kind of person who would blame her elder brother because she didn't save enough dowry, but he was afraid that this would be a nail that pierced the hearts of their brothers and sisters.

On the other hand, he can't guarantee whether his wife and daughter will leak out, making the two younger brothers feel that they have suffered a disadvantage, and will do even more unfair things to their children.

Xia Jiniang's sensibility cannot be exchanged for the happiness she deserves, which makes Xia Da also feel ashamed.When he saw Zhang He for the first time, he also hoped that she had come to propose marriage to the Xia family; when he saw Zhang He for the second time and even knew her family background, he was a little happy, but then reason made him realize To the gap between the two family backgrounds.

When Li Qinggui arranged him to Zhang He's home, he wanted to see Xia Jiniang's performance. As expected, Xia Jiniang's expression when facing Zhang He was a level of ease that he had never seen before in Liujiaqiao Village, as if he was relieved of his burden. All the weight, the tone is also lively.

Xia Jiniang found out that Xia Cuishi had closed the door, and went back to the house to have a look, and then saw that the place was empty, and there was a sense of desertedness.She went out, but saw candlelight in the backyard.

Although she has been to Zhang's house many times, she only stepped into the backyard once, and it was to fetch water.The backyard of Zhang’s family is not big. On the side of the west wing is a water well that is extremely precious to ordinary people. On the other side of the courtyard wall is a dilapidated wooden frame, and under it is a stone table full of sundries. .

Zhang He was squatting by the well to wash, the candlelight shone on her side face, and the shadow on the other side made her facial features look three-dimensional but soft.

Hearing footsteps, Zhang He looked up and saw Xia Jiniang in green clothes walking over in the dark. Zhang He was a little startled at first, but after seeing clearly that it was Xia Jiniang, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Is Ji Niang coming to fetch water?"

Xia Jiniang waved her hands: "Do you think I am here to fetch water?" She didn't bring anything, so how could I come to fetch water?

Zhang He's heartbeat accelerated slightly: "Is that why you came here specially to find me?"

Xia Jiniang only thought that she accidentally said ambiguous words again, and she didn't take it seriously, but after seeing clearly what she was washing, her face became slightly hot: "I told you to return the towel and you refused, why are you Don't wash it during the day?"

"You can go back tomorrow. I think I can wash it tonight and dry it tomorrow, so I can return it to you."

Xia Jiniang couldn't bear Zhang He's trouble for a towel, so she said, "You can return it to me after you wash it."

Zhang He didn't know Xia Jiniang's thoughts, but was puzzled by her eager attitude, and suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Does the scarf have other meanings?"

Xia Jiniang followed her thinking and thought of another place, she immediately felt her face getting hotter, and hurriedly said: "No!"

"Is it also a token of love?" Zhang He didn't notice Xia Jiniang's expression, and just said to himself.

Xia Jiniang glared at her: "Don't talk nonsense!"

No matter how careless Zhang Herao was, she still noticed Xia Jiniang's strangeness. She was slightly astonished, and then smiled slyly: "Since it's not, then give me this handkerchief, and I'll make you a new one!"

"Why do you want mine?" Xia Jiniang's tone actually carried a hint of coquettish resentment.

"Aren't you willing to give up even a handkerchief?" Zhang He didn't answer directly.

Xia Jiniang got up in a "chuckle", but she didn't like Zhang He's being so generous, and said: "You can go if you want it, why give me a new one?!" After finishing speaking, she left.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Zhang He finally tasted a little sweetness in his heart for some reason.

Xia Jiniang hurried back to the room, lay down on the bed, and covered her chest. She found that when Zhang He asked her if the scarf was a token of love, her heart beat strangely fast.When I thought of Zhang He at home before, I just felt a little sore in my heart, and I wouldn't let myself run away like I am now!

The door knocked, and Xia Jiniang subconsciously thought that Zhang He had followed, and said, "I'm going to rest, you should also go to rest earlier!"

Xia Cui's voice came: "Shouldn't you rest without washing your face?"

Xia Jiniang didn't expect it to be her aunt, she hurriedly got up and opened the door, and said with some guilt: "Well, what mother said is right, I'll wash my face before resting."

She found that A Niang was looking at her with puzzled eyes, and she felt uneasy, not knowing what happened to her all of a sudden.Just as she was about to leave, Xia Cui said again: "Zhang Erlang told me that he has a bathtub here, and he can boil some water for bathing."

"En." Xia Jiniang responded.

"He is also willing to lend us the stove and firewood, so that we can just boil water and take a bath. I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I accepted his kindness, and you come and help Auntie."

Xia Jiniang remembered that the water tank in Zhang He's kitchen was running out of water, so she said to Xia Cui: "Then mother, go boil the water first, and I'll help Zhang Erlang get some water back into the water tank."

The mother and daughter worked together, Xia Jiniang pumped several buckets of water and reached the half of the water tank, she was still waiting to continue pumping, but Xia Cuishi held her back and said: "Okay, just stay here with me!"

Xia Jiniang only felt that Xia Cui's behavior was a little weird, but suppressed that doubt and helped her watch the firewood.

She naturally didn't know that when she was talking with Zhang He in the backyard, Xia Cuishi secretly followed her and listened to their conversation.And when she left, Xia Cuishi hid at the door of the west wing, it was too dark, Xia Jiniang didn't notice.

When Xia Cuishi was suspicious that Xia Jiniang had given the handkerchief to Zhang He, and Zhang He was about to leave from the backyard, she pretended to pour water.Seeing her, Zhang He asked, "Does Aunt Xia want to fetch water?"

"No, come and pour water." Xia Cuishi smiled.

"Oh, just pour it into the ditch."

"Hey." Xia Cuishi responded, poured water, looked at Zhang He and asked knowingly, "Zhang Erlang, are there only two of you brothers in your family?"

"Yes, and no. I have my aunt and elder brother. They are in Zhangjiazhuang. It is true that only me and my brother live here."

"Given your background, you don't have any servants in your family, and you have to do the laundry and cooking by yourself. I'm afraid it's a very miserable life, right? Have you never thought about finding a servant or marrying a virtuous lady?"

Zhang He said with a smile: "Madam Xia's words may easily cause misunderstandings by others."

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Aunt Xia thinks that it is a blessing for me to wash and cook by myself. She persuaded me to find a servant or a virtuous lady. Isn't this equating a lady with a servant? In my heart, a lady does not exist to manage housework."

Xia Cuishi was horrified, knowing that even Xia Da had never said Zhang He's words, nor had she heard such words from any man.Almost everyone's idea is that men work to support the family, and it is only natural for women to take care of housework, but Zhang He's thinking is too unreasonable.

Xia Cui's head was a little dizzy, Zhang He asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you, Aunt Xia?"

"It's okay...that Zhang Erlang, don't you plan to marry a wife?"

"I—" Zhang He was at a loss for words, the person in front of him was Xia Jiniang's mother, she couldn't tell the truth.She quickly changed the subject abruptly, "Ms. Xia, I have a bathtub, a stove, and firewood here. You can just boil the water, you are welcome."

Xia Cuishi secretly sighed in his heart, and said: "Then thank Zhang Erlang first."

She couldn't figure it out. According to what she saw just now, Zhang He should be interested in her daughter, and her own daughter is not as ruthless as she said.She couldn't understand what the two of them were thinking, why they didn't plan to propose marriage even though they both had feelings for each other.

After the water was boiled, Xia Cui asked Xia Jiniang to take a bath, and she returned to the room to talk to Xia Dayi.

Xia Da pondered for a moment, and said: "According to what you said, Zhang Erlang's thinking is so different, so we can't think of it according to common sense. Let's assume that Zhang Erlang is interested in Youyou, but he doesn't mention the matter of marriage. The root cause is not Zhang Erlang, but the young attitude?"

With a word that awakened the dreamer, Xia Cuishi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, if Youyou agrees, then Zhang Erlang will definitely come to propose marriage happily!"

Xia Da laughed and said, "But this Erlang's face is too thin, and he doesn't have the spirit of a man."

Xia Cuishi gave him a sideways glance, and because of Zhang He's words, her affection for Zhang He suddenly increased a lot.She thought that if Xia Jiniang married Zhang He, then Zhang He would treat Xia Jiniang well, and would not let her be wronged, unlike Xia Da, who always made their wives and children angry with the second and third families!

Thinking of this, Xia Cui retorted: "This is the best, so as not to attract the favor of so many ladies!"

Xia Da didn't know what was wrong with her, so he said: "Then you don't care about the gap between him and our family?"

Xia Cuishi was also worried: "I care because I am worried that Youyou will be looked down upon by the Zhang family if you marry him, but what I hope most is that Youyou can find someone who will treat her well."

Xia Da has always felt guilty towards Xia Jiniang. He also hopes that Xia Jiniang can find a good family, but he hopes that this person is Xia Jiniang's favorite, so that his guilt towards her can be alleviated.

"I can't rush this matter." Xia Da thought that he still had to observe for a while, after all, how can a lifelong event be a trifle?
