Envy

Of course Yan Miao knew that Meng Tou was not joking, she just thought he was lacking in heart.

"There are so many girls, if you want them, what kind of ones do you have? Why did you just fall in love with Yan Zhaohan? You are not short-hearted, what are you?"

Meng Tou said: "I just like the way he treats me as if he's away from me, and doesn't answer me."

Yan Miao stepped on the bench, looked at his peach blossom eyes and said seriously: "Meng Tou, you're a bitch." After she finished speaking, she took away the soup bowl in front of him, turned around and put the bowl on the waiting table. Clean the pan.

Meng Tou leaned back against the table, propped his hands back on the table: "Then why do you like Huo Zhi more?"

"I..." At a loss for words, he grabbed the rag and threw it at Meng Tou, "I'm happy, I'm happy."

He turned sideways, and the rag wiped past his left side without hitting him: "Miao, I'm telling you the truth. I told you earlier, if you don't tell me, Huo Zhi's ice cube will never understand. Besides, we will go back to Muyu the day after tomorrow. The next time we meet, I don't know when it will be."

Yan Miao said, "I know. But girls, you have to be reserved."

Meng Tou looked her over: "You, girl?" Except that she looked like a girl, he really couldn't see anything about her like a girl.She is so fierce that she is invincible, and she doesn't need the protection of her husband's family at all.

She rolled up her sleeves: "I owe you a beating!"

……

The evening before they left, Meng Tou went to Xiyuan to clean the house for the mad lady.The lady wasn't scary, and she didn't speak crazy words, but she mistook him for Yan Zhaohan, and she called each "son" affectionately.

The last time he came to Xiyuan, when he asked who she was, Yan Zhaohan coldly removed Yan Shuhan's mask of a hypocrite.However, Young Master Yan didn't let him sit in the house, he only told him that leprosy can be contagious, and then issued an eviction order to ask him to leave.

He didn't see the lady's face clearly at that time, but now he can see clearly.Yan Zhaohan had wiped her face clean long ago, her face was decayed and she was no longer as graceful as before.From the eyebrows and eyes, you can see her former elegance.

When he was in Shen Gui, he met Mrs. Yan Family.She is always beautiful, and still has the appearance of [-] years.Yan Shuhan built a theater for her.She has nothing to do on weekdays, so she leans on the railing to watch famous actors and actresses sing.In the eyes of outsiders, Yan Shuhan and his wife are deeply in love with each other.

If it weren't for the rumors that Yan Shuhan took in private concubines and abandoned his wives and children a few years ago, they are really a pair of people who are envied by the world, and they don't seem to be acting like a joke.

Yan Zhaohan pushed open the door and was surprised to see Meng Tou.

"What are you here for?"

Meng Tou hung up the mosquito net for his wife, and looked back at him: "I'll come and see my wife." And you.

He was worried that Yan Zhaohan would drive him away, and he had already made up his mind, if that was the case, he would just stay here with a stern face.But Yan Zhaohan ignored him, responded lightly, and lifted the curtain to go to the small kitchen.

Young Master Yan wore a moon-white shirt that day, which made his heart itch.Meng Tou wondered if he should help Yan Zhaohan.Just as he was about to leave, his wife grabbed his sleeves.He leaned over to listen to her.

Madam lowered her voice, her cloudy eyes sparkled: "Son, is that the daughter-in-law you found for mother just now? Oh, she looks so handsome."

The corners of Meng Tou's mouth could not be restrained, he coughed twice, and put a fist on his lips with one hand: "Jun..." He almost laughed: "Jun is very handsome, he may not be willing to marry me."

Madam smiled mysteriously, took out a jade pendant from her cuff, and stuffed it into his hand: "This is a jade pendant handed down from our family. Give it to your daughter-in-law. She will definitely like it. Then she will definitely be willing to marry you gone."

Meng Tou stroked it and saw by candlelight that a lotus flower was carved on the jade.He tentatively asked: "Then I... have passed?"

Madam leaned against the bed, sat up when she heard the words, and waved to him: "Go, go, settle this matter as soon as possible. Mother will feel at ease."

Meng Tou suddenly felt that the spring breeze was proud of his horse's hoof, and he said "ah" and walked towards the kitchen.He lifted the curtain, leaned against the door frame, and twirled the jade pendant around the sling with one finger: "Little daughter-in-law...cough, young master."

Yan Zhaohan glanced at him, and took the hot food out of the bamboo grate: "What are you doing?" The wall of the bowl should be a little hot, Meng Tou flinched when he saw Yan Zhaohan's hand touched the wall of the bowl.Meng Tou hurried over to help him carry it, and he handed the jade pendant to Yan Zhaohan.

He asked: "What is this?"

"Your mother gave this to you, and asked you to give it to your future daughter-in-law's family heirloom." The wall of the bowl was indeed a little hot. After being burned, Meng Tou breathed on his finger, then put his finger on the tip of his ear and pinched it After a while, "Okay, leave this to me, and I'll take it over."

……

Meng Tou also helped repair the roof.The wife said it often leaks rain.He hadn't learned this kind of thing before, so he went up to the roof and fiddled with it to make up the gap.After he finished, he was sweating profusely and sat there to rest.

Yan Zhaohan climbed up the wooden ladder and handed him the wet peach.Meng Tou took it with one hand, and supported Yan Zhaohan with the other, making him sit down firmly.

He said, "Thank you."

Meng Tou took a bite of the peach, and said vaguely: "Thank you, I can do everything." Meng Tou glanced at the peach in his hand: "Is this a soft peach?"

"how?"

He chuckled: "I like crispy peaches. The kind that can knock out a tooth when you bite into it. Crispy peaches are sweeter."

Yan Zhaohan looked at him, his eyes crooked when he smiled, and he asked in confusion, "Why do you help me with these things? Is it out of sympathy?"

Meng Tou turned around and met his eyes, and forgot to swallow the peach in his mouth.The rabbit in his heart kept jumping, he swallowed hard, his Adam's apple rolling: "Because of me... because I regard you as a brother."

Yan Zhaohan repeated those two words: "Brother." He said lightly, "I don't need any brothers."

Before Meng Tou said anything, a firework bloomed in the night sky.Then, one after another, the fireworks bloomed.Noisy cicadas, whispers of birds, frogs in rice fields...all the sounds are lost in the midsummer fireworks.

He just remembered that this day is Qixi Festival, and the Qiqiao Festival is being celebrated in Fulian City.Yan Miao took Yan Er out early in the morning and prepared to go to Shen Gui.His heart was disturbed, how could he remember these things.He didn't even have the leisure to find out where the Cowherd and Vega were.

Amidst the huge shock, his heart beat even harder.Meng Tou stared ahead, quietly reached out to touch Yan Zhaohan's shoulder, and accidentally touched his cold hair.

Out of the corner of Meng Tou's eyes, he saw Yan Zhaohan turned his head and glanced at him.His heart was about to jump out, Yan Zhaohan's thin shoulders were warm, and his palms were sweaty.

Yan Zhaohan didn't resist, and let him put his shoulders on his shoulders as if nothing had happened, and turned back to continue watching the fireworks.At this moment, he felt that even if he died, it was worth it.
