Song female man

Seeing Xie Yi at the side, he quietly asked her what was wrong.

After all, the two have been married for 20 years. Although Xie Yi said that Mrs. Wu is a worm in his stomach and she knows what she thinks, but on the other hand, these uneasy actions of Mrs. Wu fell into Xie Yi's eyes. Here, how could he not know that his wife was in trouble, so he asked a question.

Mrs. Wu glanced at him, pulled him aside and told Xie Yi what she just heard from Mrs. Hu about Xi Erlang's engagement, and asked him, "Do you think it's true?"

Xie Yi asked whether Mrs. Wu suspected that Mrs. Hu was deceiving, and the purpose of Mrs. Hu's deception was to prevent other women from getting involved with the son-in-law she had chosen for her daughter.

Wu Shi nodded, saying that she thought so, and she was going to ask Liu Shi if it was true.

Xie Yi flicked Wu's forehead with his finger, saying that she is a naive person, how could she ask someone like this, wouldn't she have exposed the meaning of their husband and wife by asking Liu Shi directly like this?It seemed that their daughter was in a hurry to get married, so he didn't approve of Mrs. Wu asking Mrs. Liu this question directly.

Mrs. Wu asked him if he wanted to ask Mrs. Liu directly if it was true or not, then how would he know whether Mrs. Hu was telling lies or not.

Xie Yi thought for a while and said: "I don't think you should ask Mrs. Liu about this matter, but ask the wife of the Zhao family who lived next door to the Xi's family. You can ask the wife of the Zhao family when she comes to buy miscellaneous bones." That's it."

Mrs. Wu answered, "You mean that the Zhao family and Xi's family have been neighbors for several months, and they walk around a lot on weekdays. The wife of the Zhao family must know whether Xi Erlang is engaged?"

Xie Yi nodded and said, "Exactly, this is not much better than asking Mrs. Liu directly."

Wu gave her husband a thumbs up, praising him for being thoughtful and doing what he wanted.

In the courtyard of Xi's family next door, after Mrs. Liu sent Miss Hu and her daughter out, she went to help hold Hui'er when she came back, watching Shunniang and Mrs. Qi busy.This time, Shunniang and Mrs. Qi picked out all the bad beans and empty beans. One pick was a small bowl. Mrs. Liu said that these could not be cooked and eaten. , Why don't you go and buy a few chicks and feed the chickens with the empty beans and bad beans you picked out.Mrs. Qi said that not only did he have to pick out a lot of rotten beans before soaking them, but also some of them floated on the water and were unusable after soaking. Feed it to the chickens, so much every day, I am afraid it is enough to feed a dozen chickens.

Immediately, Mrs. Liu became excited, and said that she would buy a dozen or so chickens and feed them back, so that she could pick up a lot of eggs in the coming year, and the eggs would be sold for money.

Shunniang listened to it and said that the eggs were not for sale, but her family would eat them. She believed that next year there would be no shortage of money to sell the eggs.

After Mrs. Qi and Shunniang distributed all the beans they had picked, they went out with their mother-in-law Mrs. Liu to buy chicks from the place where chickens, geese and other poultry were sold in the east of Yangliu Town. Kecheng and Huier were also taken by them. After going out, Shunniang was left alone at home.

Shunniang is a diligent person, not used to resting, so she took a broom to sweep the yard, and then sorted out the firewood that was placed in the yard to dry, and she tied up the firewood that was going to be brought into the city tomorrow in advance, and she was busy. , People came in again in the yard, Shunniang followed the footsteps and saw that it was Mrs. Hu who had just gone out and went back again.

She was just about to greet Mrs. Hu, but Wu Shi followed behind.

Shunniang didn't know what they were here for, so she had to guess whether they were looking for her mother.

In fact, Mrs. Hu also saw Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi passing by her shop, and knew that only Shunniang was at home, so she touched her to ask her about her engagement. It turned out that she didn't quite believe it when she went back. Mrs. Liu said that Shun Niang was already engaged.She ran here just to ask Shunniang herself, but she didn't know that Wu from the Xie's Butcher Shop followed her in just after she entered Xi's house, which made it difficult for her to ask Shunniang about her engagement, so she had to Haha, she said she came to chat with Mrs. Liu, Shunniang said that her mother went to buy chickens with her sister-in-law, why don't Mrs. Hu sit for a while and wait for her mother to come back?

"No, no, I still have things to do in my shop, so I'll come over and talk to your mother the next day." Because Mrs. Wu followed up and Madam Hu failed to achieve her goal, she had no choice but to say so embarrassingly, stiffly. After greeting Wu Shi with a smile, he hurried out.

Mrs. Wu used the same excuse as Mrs. Hu, saying that she was free and came to chat with Mrs. Liu.

Shun Niang was a little strange, it was obviously not yet noon, Xie's butcher shop should be busy, why Wu Shi actually said that she had nothing to do.

But even though it was strange, Niang Shun still wanted to tell her again that the mother and sister-in-law had gone out to buy chicks, and they would not be back until later.

Wu shi laughed and said, "So that's how it is..."

When the subject changed, she suddenly asked Shunniang when she planned to get married and hold a wedding, so that she, a neighbor, could bring along a gift.

"Ah?" Shunniang suspected that she was hallucinating, and looked at Mrs. Wu in surprise.

Seeing Shunniang's expression, Mrs. Wu was overjoyed immediately, but in order to confirm her guess, she said another sentence, saying that she had heard that Shunniang had appointed a daughter-in-law in Xijiazhuang, and they were going to get married next year.

"Who is talking nonsense and spreading such rumors? I don't know where my aunt heard it from?" Shunniang asked immediately.

Wu said with a smile: "I don't know who it is, I only know that someone spread it like this, since there is no such thing, it's fine... just..."

Shunniang frowned and looked at Wu Shi in puzzlement.

Mrs. Wu didn't talk nonsense with Shunniang anymore, she had achieved her goal of coming in with Mrs. Hu, and she was so happy, her fat face was radiant, and she said that she would come back when Shunniang's mother came back, and then she was busy. He hurriedly walked out of Xi's house and went back to his butcher shop.

As soon as she went in, seeing Xie Yi, she slapped him hard on the shoulder, causing Xie Yi to tilt half of his shoulder. However, seeing Wu's very happy face, he guessed whether it was because she went to Xi's just now and inquired about it. The truth is that Kijiro was never engaged at all.

Wu was overjoyed, and secretly smiled and told Xie Yi that he had guessed that Xi Erlang's family had never been engaged at all. This was what Xi Erlang said himself, and it really was that Mrs. Hu from the opposite grocery store wanted to snatch her son-in-law from him. , and then deliberately said something about Kijiro's engagement to deceive himself.Now there is no need to ask Mrs. Zhao, because the answer I got from Xi Erlang must be the most truthful.

Seeing how happy she looked, Xie Yi said that since she cared so much about Xi Erlang next door, it would be better to find a matchmaker to go to Xi's house to talk about marriage earlier, and let the two children settle the marriage earlier, so that she would not be so worried about Xi Erlang next door. Erlang was robbed by another woman to be her son-in-law.

After hearing this, Mrs. Wu was still a little hesitant, thinking that it was too soon. It was only a few days since Xi's family moved here, and it was too anxious to find someone to come to say goodbye.Although she had the same idea as Xie Yi, she still wanted to wait a few more months, after all, she still wanted to see if Kijiro could start the seed business.

Xie Yi said: "If you have the spare time to stop Mrs. Hu, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Ma, then it's up to you."

Mrs. Wu glared at him, turned around and went into the house, Xie Yi shook his head, and went on to the meat stand to see the guys selling meat.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qi took their two children to buy chicks and didn't come back until noon. At that time, Shun Niang was already cooking in the kitchen and didn't do anything. After cooking a pot of porridge, the other thing is to reheat the pancakes.

Shun Niang came out of the kitchen when she heard footsteps, and asked them why they came back so late.

Mrs. Qi said that the mother-in-law picks and chooses from left to right. Every chick has to be compared again and again, and she has to let the chick run around, and it depends on whether the chick will eat it. In short, there are about ten chicks. The boys were all carefully selected, so it took an hour or two to go there, and they didn't come back until this hour.

Shunniang didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this, but when she saw her old lady looking at the chickens in the cage, even the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes were filled with laughter, she didn't say anything, but told them to wash their hands quickly and get ready. time to eat.

During the meal, Shunniang told the old lady that she went out to buy chickens with her sister-in-law today, and Mrs. Hu from the grocery store opposite and Mrs. Wu from the butcher shop next door both came over to talk to the old lady, but the old lady was not there. They went away again.

While drinking porridge, Wu said: "They are free, I am so busy, who has the time to chat with them, and now there are more than a dozen little chickens, they have to be taken care of like dolls, Only when they grow up can they lay eggs in the coming year..."

Shunniang remembered what Mrs. Wu said about her engagement, she wanted to bring it up and talk about it, but she gave up after thinking about it, she is not a person who likes to gossip, so she should spend less time talking It is good to nourish the gods.And after Mrs. Wu talked about Shunniang's engagement this morning to deal with Mrs. Hu, she was so focused on buying chicks that she forgot to tell Shunniang about it.

After eating, Shunniang started to mix fish food, planning to go fishing in the afternoon, but now the weather is getting colder, the fish in the water don’t like to move in the morning, it’s not easy to catch, it’s better to catch it in the afternoon when it’s warmer.Now that kid Zhao Sanlang doesn't dare to come to him to trouble him and stop fishing. Of course, Shunniang will change the fishing time to daytime as the weather changes.

Shunniang was quick with her hands and feet, and quickly mixed the fish food, picked up the fish basket, and went out with the fishing rod. Before walking out of the house, she took the ax that was on the firewood pile next to her and fastened it to her waist.

In August, the sun passed noon, and the second half of the noon was not as hot as the hot days before, but the sun was warm and cloudy, and the sun hid in the clouds from time to time.

Shunniang found a suitable place to lay the nest, sprinkled the fish food, and then lay down under a willow tree on the bank, covering her eyes with a bamboo hat and sleeping lightly.

She slept lightly. After all, she was thinking about going fishing for a while, so she didn't dare to really fall asleep. Therefore, when she was in a light sleep, she heard the slight sound of footsteps coming towards her, and she woke up immediately.She took off the bamboo hat that covered her face, sat up, looked in the direction of the footsteps, and gripped the ax beside her.

Because the last time Zhao Sanlang appeared sneakily by the river, it was when she was waiting to get off her pole to fish, but now she brought an ax with her when she went out.Because she thought that although Zhao Sanlang had been subdued in Qi Dalang's gambling shop, who knows if he will play bad tricks again and bring that man called Gouzi to trouble her, so Shun Niang took the axe, if When the two of them come to bully people again, Shunniang decides not to bear it anymore, but will give them two axes to let them know how powerful she is...

As a result, when she saw who was coming, she couldn't help but let go of the axe, and then asked in surprise, "Why are you? Could it be that you are not afraid of death?"

It turned out that the person who came over was Xie Erniang. She had a small fish basket on her waist and a bamboo hat to shade her head.

Xie Erniang pursed her lips, and pointed at Shunniang's neck: "The river under Liushan Mountain is not yours, so you are allowed to come, but I am not allowed to come?"

Shunniang really got over this little pepper, how did she talk, what questions did she ask, and what did she answer, this divergent thinking is too powerful, can she tell that she cares about her by asking such questions? ?

Because she is already familiar with Xie Erniang, and the relationship between the two is also very good, plus Shunniang has a feeling of gratitude to Xie Yi and his wife in her heart, so now even if Xie Erniang said something very offensive, Shunniang didn't take it seriously. I don't know her well.

"Are you here to touch loach for your Sanlang again?" Shunniang asked.

Xie Erniang nodded, and asked Shunniang by the way: "Are you fishing again?"

Isn't this nonsense, I saw what I was doing, so Shunniang didn't answer her, but asked Xie Erniang if her family was short of tens of pennies, Xie Sanlang liked to eat loach, and there was a fish stall in Yangliu Town Isn't there loach for sale? Erniang Xie, the elder sister, was almost drowned last time she touched the loach for Xie Sanlang. Could it be that her parents didn't have a long memory and let her come?

Xie Erniang said that she wanted to come, but her parents didn't know about it, and it wasn't just her brother who wanted to eat loach, but she thought catching loach was fun, and she was very playful, so she ran out.Moreover, she will be very careful now, and there will be no accident like last time.

Shunniang said that she was too confident, she couldn't swim herself, and the river was dangerous to Xie Erniang, because no matter how careful she was, who knew if there would be an accident, and if there was an accident, she would not be so lucky again. She can save her by herself, so she advised Xie Erniang to stop catching loach and go home quickly.

Who would have thought that Xie Erniang would mischievously say that he had met Shunniang again now, so if he was really careless and fell into the river again, Shunniang could save himself again.

Shunniang had nothing to do with this weird girl, so she had to tell her in a good voice that if she really wanted to catch loaches, she should catch them near where she could see them, and don't go where she couldn't see them. If she goes into the river, I can save her one more time. Also, she should be quiet when catching loaches, otherwise she will startle her own fish...

Xie Erniang smiled sweetly at Shunniang, saying that she understood, and she would listen to everything Shunniang said.

Shunniang looked at her pure eyes full of smiles, reflecting the willow green above her head, the clear sky in the water, the youthful beauty radiated so naturally, it made people feel good after seeing it.

Inexplicably, she smiled at Xie Erniang, and said in a harmonious voice, "Okay, you go, I'm going to go fishing."

Xie Erniang nodded, walked past her, and went to catch loaches in the mud near the river bank. She really listened to Shunniang's words, and she was always within Shunniang's sight, and Shunniang was also fishing. Occasionally look at her to see if she has gone far.

About half an hour later, when Shunniang caught the first big carp that was one foot long, Xie Erniang came back. Seeing that Shunniang had caught such a big fish, she couldn't help being attracted and refused to leave. Shun Niang is fishing.

Shunniang asked her if she didn't want to catch loaches, Erniang Xie said no, and there were ten or twenty loaches, enough for her younger brother Xie Sanlang to eat at night.

So Shunniang said that Xie Erniang is a good sister, and she would risk her life to catch loaches for her younger brother. If she fell into the water and almost drowned once like her, she would definitely not dare to come to the river again. In other words By the way, Xie Erniang is really brave.

Xie Erniang sat down beside Shunniang, the two of them were separated by two or three feet. She said that she was the daughter of a butcher, and she was not afraid of killing pigs since she was a child. The situation of falling into the water was an accident, as long as I pay attention to it, that kind of thing will never happen again.

Shunniang said: "To be honest, among the little ladies I have met, there are not many brave ones like you."

After saying this, Shunniang suddenly thought of what she did to her yesterday, and her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that it was a bit ambiguous and inappropriate for two people to sit so close to talk now.

Immediately, she picked up the bamboo hat that was on the ground and put it on, and then asked Xie Erniang to put on the taken off bamboo hat as well.

After Xie Erniang put it on obediently, she asked Shunniang why she was wearing a bamboo hat. Shunniang said that she didn't want outsiders to see that she and Xie Erniang were sitting and talking together, although there was no one by the river at this time.

"Oh..." Erniang Xie probably understood what Shunniang said when she heard what Shunniang said. By the wild river, she and Xi Erlang were alone. Nothing, will be gossiped by some people who love gossip.

However, Xie Erniang is not afraid of being gossip about her and Xi Erlang, she likes this person in front of her, even if she is gossiping, at worst, she will be with him in the future.

This is also some of her small thoughts that are not humane. Since she watched Kijiro show off his cooking skills in Xi's kitchen yesterday, she couldn't help admiring him, and even more liked his diligence and ability.

She saw Xierlang sweating profusely, and when her mother and Xierlang's mother and sister-in-law were walking out, she couldn't help but took out her handkerchief and stuffed it for Xierlang to wipe the sweat.

After doing this, she went out with a beating heart.After quickly recollecting it, I just did something that a man and a woman gave and received privately. This kind of thing was said by my mother to be something that a disrespectful daughter would do, but I accidentally did it just now.

This made her feel immediately ashamed and apprehensive.

But these are not as strong as the joy in her heart, because Xi Erlang took her veil, and she wondered whether Xi Erlang would think of herself when he saw this veil, whether he could feel his heart ?

She didn't sleep well last night, thinking about it over and over again, she really wanted to know if Kijiro liked her too, even if he liked her a little bit, even if he liked her less than she liked him .

The consequence of this tossing and turning was that she suffered from insomnia, and she barely fell asleep until the slaughtering of pigs started in the lower killing room. When she woke up the next day, her eyes were black and blue. Is it possible that I am thinking of spring if I don't sleep all night?

What her mother scolded her made her blush, she wondered if she was in a daze, could it be that she was really yearning for spring?

Anyway, on this day, she didn't enjoy the food and tea, and she always felt in a trance and lack of energy, until she went to Xi's house to play in the afternoon, chat with Mrs. Qi, and saw Xi Erlang going out with a fishing rod and a fish basket, so she knew He is going fishing again.

After talking to Mrs. Qi for a while, she went home, took a small fish basket while her parents were taking a nap, followed Xi Erlang out of the town, and arrived at the river under Liushan.Under the pretext of catching loach for her younger brother Xie Sanlang, she approached Xierlang and talked to him.

She felt that Kijiro treated her well this time, not only talking kindly, but also worried that she would slip into the river again, and asked her to catch loaches where he could see him.

Having grown so big, Xie Erniang felt that it was her first time to catch loaches so happily, and those loaches seemed to understand her mood, and they scrambled out of the mud. , then she washed her hands by the river and walked over to Kijiro.It just so happened that he had just caught a big fish, and she told him she wanted to watch him fish, and she didn't leave.

As for Kijiro, he didn't object, he just told her to sit obediently and not to talk loudly to interfere with his fishing.

Today's weather is very good, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the river breeze is blowing, just like the weather in Xiaoyang spring, Xie Erniang sits quietly not far from Shunniang, feeling as if she has melted in the river breeze, faintly A hint of sweetness permeated her lips and tongue...

Shunniang concentrated on fishing. Within an hour and a half, she caught three big fish and two smaller ones. She decided not to fish until the sun was completely hidden by the clouds.While she was packing her things, Xie Erniang, who had been sitting quietly for about an hour, also stood up when she saw this.

After she stood up, she began to shake her arms and legs, and turn her neck. It was a pity that she was sitting beside Shunniang for an hour, and she was really motionless. She held her breath and watched Shunniang fishing without making any movement.

Seeing her like this, Shunniang probably knew that she was really motionless just now, and her heart softened inexplicably. Just now when she was fishing, she thought about it and thought about it. On the one hand, Xie Erniang returned the veil that Erniang had stuffed into him yesterday, and then made his heart clear.

But I was afraid that returning it to her and rejecting her directly would embarrass her and make her sad.

The result of such hesitation is that she finished fishing, packed her things, and was about to go home before she said what she wanted to say. Who told Xie Erniang to be so sweet, so cute, and so obedient.

Shunniang felt that Xie Erniang today was completely different from before, she was just like an obedient rabbit, people's hearts softened at first sight, and they couldn't bear to hurt such an obedient rabbit.

However, today's situation is a good time, and it will not be easy to find such an opportunity to explain what you mean to Xie Erniang in the future.

Shunniang hesitated for a while, and finally decided to return the handkerchief to Xie Erniang, and made it clear to him that she should not stop, but she would not be disturbed by it, and she didn't want to hurt the little girl for the rest of her life.
