Sad reminder Xiaobai

It was probably because time passed so slowly when he was always paying attention to the moment. Zhou Ji came to the village in a rickety carriage early in the morning.

Let Xiao Wu sit under a big tree to enjoy the shade, and Zhou Ji walked towards his house with big and small bags.

Before he had time to enter his house, he met Xiao Mu coming out, Xiao ran to him and said

"Sister, you're back!"

Zhou Ji nodded and distributed some of the things to the little guy, and said

"Come on, all you take is food, take it to the back room first."

A Niang is busy in the kitchen, and Dad should be out to work.

Zhou Ji put down the things in his hand, helped Xiao Mu open a pack of candied fruit, stuffed one into Xiao Mu's mouth, the sweet Xiao Mu squinted his eyes.

"Sweet?"

Xiao Mu nodded, drooling a little.

After entering the kitchen, A Niang was holding a large plate of dumplings, saw Zhou Ji, smiled and said

"Hey, Ah Ji is back, have you eaten yet? These dumplings have just been made, come and eat some."

Zhou Ji still hadn't stopped, and instinctively followed A Niang into the back room, took the chopsticks, and ate the dumplings.

Xiao Mu wandered back and forth in the house and yard.

Father came back at noon, Zhou Ji and Xiao Mu went to celebrate birthday with father and mother.

It was rare for Zhou Ji to see so many people gathered in this village. Auntie had been busy in the kitchen for most of the day, staring at her grandma sitting in the crowd.

This grandma has a bad impression of Zhou Ji, the reason is very simple, Zhou Ji is an adopted daughter, since she had a little shepherd, she should have suffered less grievances.

Think about it, Zhou Ji wanted to stay away from this noisy area with his melon seeds in his hands, and poor Xiaomu was being held by his grandma all the time.

During the banquet, I caught a glimpse of Wang Feng sitting at the same table with the girl I saw last time, Zhou Ji was assigned to share with Xiao Mu, a bunch of kids, it was extremely lively.

Dad specially invited the nearby villages to sing an opera, a crowd of old people and aunts piled up in one place, Zhou Ji looked scared.

Going around to the kitchen, seeing that Auntie was just picking up a bowl of soup and drinking it, Zhou Ji approached sadly, and said

"Auntie, why are you only eating now?"

A Niang drank the soup and watched the opera outside, saying, "I was busy just now, now I am free."

"Aji, do you want to eat more?"

Zhou Ji shook his head, glanced at A Niang's white hair slightly hidden in the black hair, turned his head to look at Xiao Mu not far away, and said

"Xiaomu, it seems to have grown a lot this year."

A Niang squinted her eyes, nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm a bit naughty, and I'm still pretty good. I often talk about Sister at home, Sister, why haven't you come back?"

"By the way, why didn't Liang Nuo come with you?"

"Uh, she's quite busy." Zhou Ji still hadn't figured out how to reply.

walk outside

Auntie, holding a cattail fan, looking at Zhou Ji, said to A Niang

"Aunt Zhou, how old is your girl this year?"

When Zhou Ji heard it, sure enough, why didn't the sky want to let him go?

Crying without tears!

A Niang put down the bowls and chopsticks, took a melon seed and stuffed it into the aunt's hand, and said, "Ah Ji, it's fifteen this year. Come and taste it."

The aunt gnawed on the melon seeds, and asked again unwillingly

"Hey, your baby girl looks so juicy and juicy, have you found a good one, husband's family?"

Zhou Ji dawdled a bit, and was about to turn around and leave, but the aunt grabbed her arm and said

"Come on, girl, come and talk to your aunt, do you like it, what kind of look do you like?"

Zhou Ji was taken aback for a while, but it was Aunt who relieved herself and said

"I haven't done this yet"

"Oh, don't do it now. If you have a good husband's family, don't let other girls be picked away. Aunt Zhou is looking for it now, otherwise it will be too late."

Zhou Ji took the opportunity to get away, and hurried out of the kitchen, talking about walking in the alley, but didn't want to meet Wang Feng, he was carrying half a bag of things, approached, talking

"Hey. Liang Nuo, she didn't come with you today?"

"En." Zhou Ji decided not to say a word, so as not to give him a chance.

Walking along the alleyway, seeing Wang Feng finally turned back to his home, Zhou Ji went back to his home, lying on the bed, looking out the window, thinking that when A Niang was done with work, he would tell her and go back.

Squinting his eyes, unable to fall asleep, he thought, how nice it would be to have a mobile phone, otherwise he could have a conversation with Liang Nuo on the phone.

After tossing and turning, Zhou Ji didn't fall asleep, but when he regained consciousness, it was much darker outside the house.

After leaving the room, A Niang was washing the dishes in the kitchen. Zhou Ji rolled up his sleeves and sat on a small stool beside him, washing the dishes.

"Auntie, you should be fine later, right?"

"Well, today is considered busy."

"Then, I'll go back in a carriage later."

"It's so late, you have to go back to town?"

A Niang put the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "I'm going to town tomorrow morning, I'll go with you, sleep at home tonight?"

Hearing what Auntie said, Zhou Ji felt a little uncomfortable, so he picked up a stack of bowls and put them in the cupboard.

After finally relaxing for a while, the crescent moon outside the house was exposed by itself. I had no choice but to walk to the village, and said to Xiao Wu who was dozing off.

"Go back by yourself today. I will go to town with Auntie tomorrow morning."

That Xiao Wu was leisurely, and left directly waving his whip.

Zhou Ji watched with some trepidation in his heart.Back in the house, A Niang was making dinner, and Xiao Mu caught a cricket in the yard and was playing with it by himself.

At night, after eating dinner and taking a bath with hot water, I sat in the courtyard with my mother to enjoy the cool, while my father dozed off on the cool chair.

Xiao Mu nestled in A Niang's arms, Zhou Ji looked at the stars all over the sky, thinking that Xiao Wu should have told Liang Nuo the news at this time.

The bright moon made the dark mountain a lot brighter, and a few babies' cries were faintly heard.

A Niang suddenly said, "The two sons of the second uncle's family next door both have children, so they are making a fuss. Ah Ji should have gone up the mountain with them before, remember?"

Zhou Ji yawned, shook his head, and said, "I don't have any impression."

"It's normal for Ah Ji not to remember. This year's harvest is good, and the family has a lot of food for the winter. Is Ah Ji tired in the town? Life at home is much better. Ah Ji should go home, after all, thinking of you alone Outside, Auntie is always worried."

Seeing that A Niang was talking, the corners of her eyes were wet, she reached out and wiped them with her sleeves, Zhou Ji hurriedly said comfortingly

"Don't be tired, just hold the pen, don't worry, Auntie, I'm doing well, let alone sister Liang Nuo taking care of me."

A Niang wiped away some tears, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes, but this time I went to see the honest boy I mentioned last time, and it was a bit quiet, but I have a good heart, Ah Ji, why don't you wait until I come back?" Home, it’s good to go and have a look.”

Zhou Ji's heart skipped a beat

, It's over, now even A Niang has betrayed, this is really imminent.

"Uh, I'm not sure about this date, and it's too early for Auntie to say this."

A Niang stretched out her hand to hold Zhou Ji's arm, and said, "It's late, it's late, I think I've known A Sheng for more than a year before this time."

All right.Zhou Ji felt that this was really a trap, and he couldn't avoid it no matter what, and his heart was filled.

This said, A Niang also spoke quite late, until Zhou Ji yawned and said, sleepy, A Niang stopped.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Ji was woken up by A Niang, washed up and ate some dumplings left over from yesterday.

Walking around the mountain road, Zhou Ji beat his own calf a little, admiring Auntie's physical strength, a few hours later, Zhou Ji finally saw the small town.

A Niang carried a basket and bought some daily necessities. Zhou Ji planned to go to the Mu Mansion, but A Niang stopped Zhou Ji and said

"Hey. Ah Ji, wait a minute. A Niang will go with you to meet the shopkeeper later. It's a thank you."

Well, Zhou Ji waited all the way, A Niang picked out the things, and when she arrived at the Mu Mansion, the dazzling sunlight behind her had already emerged.

Entering the back room, opened the door curtain, Muqin sat on the desk, Xiao Ling stood aside with tea, Zhou Ji spoke first

"This is my aunt."

A Niang carried the things in the basket and put them aside, and said

"Ah Ji has been taken care of by you these past few years, these are small gifts, it's a thank you."

Mu Qin put down her pen, glanced at Zhou Ji with a polite smile, and said, "It's okay, she didn't cause too much trouble, she's quite, obedient."

Zhou Ji was a little flustered by Muqin's gaze, glanced at Xiao Ling who lowered her head, but saw the red mark on her exposed neck that was not covered.

"Ah Ji is fifteen this year, and he is not too young. I think it's time to find someone else, so I don't know when I can let Ah Ji go home to rest?"

Muqin drank tea and said, "Yeah, Xiao Ji is not young anymore, it's time, but"

"This latest painting is not finished yet, it may be more than a month away."

A Niang breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Well, it's okay, it's only been a month or so, and then I'll pick up Ah Ji."

Zhou Ji felt remorse in his heart, his guts were turning green.

After finishing speaking, A Niang also left.Zhou Ji sent him all the way, and when he reached the door, A Niang stopped and said

"Aji, stay here and take care of yourself. I'll go and tidy up the things at home."

Zhou Ji looked at A Niang with the corners of her eyes bent, said with a smile, and then walked towards the street.

This happened so suddenly, Zhou Ji thought it would happen, but he hadn't prepared for it yet.

Besides, what should Liang Nuona tell her to make her feel at ease?

How can I get out of this situation in this month?
