Xiao Qiao enters the farm gate

"Li Shuilian!" Qiao Mo snorted softly.

"Ah!" Li Shuilian felt guilty, and suddenly yelled, which made him jump up in fright. When he turned around, he saw that Qiao Mo had returned, and his face changed suddenly, from white to red.

"What are you doing?" Qiao Mo felt that Li Shuilian was suspicious no matter what he looked at, but he didn't know what he had in his house that was worthy of his concern.Turning his mind, he deliberately sarcastically said: "I don't know that you are short of money, but unfortunately my house is completely empty, I'm afraid there is nothing for you to steal."

Seeing that there was no one else, Li Shuilian's expression had recovered, and she was no longer afraid.

Hearing these words, he became more ashamed and annoyed, and retorted: "You are really right, what do you have in your house? It's so dilapidated, who cares, think I'm willing to come!"

After finishing speaking, he hummed heavily, and ran away in a hurry without arguing with him.

Qiao Mo didn't stop him. After all, the door was well established and there were not many witnesses.He felt that Li Shuilian went to the Three Treasures Hall without incident. As the saying goes, one can only be a thief for a thousand days, but not guard against a thief for a thousand days. He has to inquire about what happened recently, maybe there are clues hidden in it.

First, he made lunch and put it in the pot. Seeing that Lin Zheng hadn't come back, he went to Grandma Li's house.

Grandma Li and Li Xue were busy cooking, and the other three members of the family had also gone to work in the field and hadn't come back yet, so it was a bit strange to see him coming over right now.

Qiao Mo said directly: "Grandma Li, is there anything new in the village recently?"

"Everyone is busy now, so there is nothing new." Li Ama felt that he asked strangely, and knew that he was not such a talkative person. She was still thinking about it while answering, and she really thought of something. thing. "It's not really new if you talk about it. You already knew that Lin Fu is asking a matchmaker to marry Lin Fu."

Li Xue, who was burning the fire, curled her lips when she heard this: "The old lady Lin is really whimsical, and she has taken a fancy to Yangliu in Yangjia Village. Yangliu is only 14 years old, she is good-looking, has a good temper, can work quickly, and her family is not If you are poor and can't get rid of the pot, how can you fall in love with someone like Lin Fu."

Although Qiao Mo didn't know about this section, he still knew a little about Madam Lin's personality, and it was reasonable.

As soon as the conversation stopped, Li Xue smiled and said another thing: "Brother Qiao, I saw you carrying a square thing the other day. It was very pretty. What made it up?"

"bamboo."

"Why is the color so bright and white? It's so beautiful. Can you teach me how to make it? I want to make one too." Li Xue has been thinking about it since seeing it, but because she has been busy all the time, she finally has time to ask today. ask.

"You can learn well when you are clumsy? Besides, Xiao Qiao has no time to teach you. Take care and prepare the wedding things." Grandma Li has also seen that handbag before.It's just that the craftsmanship is different from others. Wherever you can open your mouth, you have to learn from others. Li Xue didn't expect that Li Amao was cautious.

It was also because Li Xue liked it too much just now, and after being scolded, she also felt that what she said was inappropriate, so she stopped mentioning it with a smile.

Qiao Mo didn't have any thoughts to hide. Seeing them like this, he said, "It's nothing. Axue is not an outsider. I will teach you when I have time." Without waiting for the other party to decline, he asked directly: "Li Has Grandma heard about Li Shuilian?"

"Him? What's the matter with him?" Grandma Li really didn't know when she saw that he was determined to ask.

"Li Shuilian seems to be talking about marriage too." Qiao Mo frowned slightly, because there was no latest news about Li Shuilian in the village, which made today's event unusual.

Li Shuilian would never go to their house to spy on them for no reason, she must have a plan, if there is no news from the village, it must be elsewhere.Thinking of seeing Li Shuilian on a suspected blind date in the county town, I feel uneasy for some reason.Who was the blind date with Li Shuilian?Could it have something to do with Li Shuilian coming to peep?

"Li Shuilian is talking about marriage?" Both Li Amao and Li Xue were taken aback. When they were young, they seemed to recall something, and said, "What happened a few days ago? I saw him and his Ama go back to the village that day, riding in a carriage. Well, the clothes are also very different from usual. The strange thing is that no matter who in the village asks, they only say that they are going to the uncle's house in the county. So they went to talk about kissing?"

"I also saw it by chance in the county that day, and there was a matchmaker following him." Seeing that he couldn't find anything, Qiao Mo thought that Lin Zheng should be back, so he left and went home.

Because of Li Shuilian's matter, Qiao Mo paid attention to it for a few days. Maybe the other party was vigilant, but he didn't catch it.Taking another trip to the county to deliver goods, I specially asked shopkeeper Xiao to help me find out who Li Shuilian said she was going to marry, and in fact it was Fang Jinnian.There was no news for a while, and then the field became more and more busy, and I gradually forgot about it.

This day, Qiao Mo and Lin Zheng went to weed the peanut field together and took a look at the watermelon field.

Probably because of fat feet, the watermelon seedlings are growing very well.

Qiao Mo remembered watching his grandfather grow watermelons when he was a child. To press the vines, he just used clods of soil to press them at intervals, and he didn't know why.I have to cut off some branches and vines, which is probably the same as pruning a flowerpot.Qiao Mo thought, after all, it was the first time to plant, so he tried it out first, so he pinched off some side vines as he remembered, leaving three or four vines including the main vine, and used soil clods to remove them one by one. Pressed the vine.

Small yellow flowers have already bloomed on some seedlings, which makes people happy to see them.

While I was busy, I suddenly heard someone shouting. I turned around and saw that it was Li Xue.

"Brother Qiao! Brother Qiao!" Li Xue obviously ran all the way, with a flushed face and a happy face, she stood on the ground and waved desperately to let him pass.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Mo felt strange, stopped what he was doing and returned to the field.

"Good news! Happy news!" Li Xue laughed straight, without going around in circles, and opened her mouth to throw a bomb: "Your family is here!"

These words not only shocked Qiao Mo, but also made Lin Zheng tense up.

"What kind of family? I've been sold long ago, and I have no family." Even so, Qiao Mo's heart was pounding, not sure what was going on.After all, from the memory of the original owner, the squire's son didn't seem like someone who would look for him. After all, after many twists and turns, it was not easy to find him from thousands of miles away.

However, if someone came to the door, Li Xue could convince him and spread the word. It can be seen that the other party knew his past very well, and he definitely did not come to the door rashly.

Sure enough, I heard Li Xue say, "It's not the family that adopted you, but your original real family."

What is really afraid of.

Lin Zheng took Qiao Mo's hand almost immediately and held it tightly, as if he would disappear in the next moment.

Even though it was so painful, Qiao Mo didn't try to break free, but said in a low voice, "I don't remember the family for a long time. Even if someone really came to find me, I'm married now, and I'm from the Lin family. Besides, I haven’t seen those family members yet, so who knows if it’s true or not.”

Although he said that the words were comforting, Lin Zheng was relieved after all. He remembered that Qiao Mo had entered the Lin family tree a long time ago, and it was the Lin family.

At the moment, the two of them lost all intention of working, and walked back together with Li Xue.

This sandy land is next to the Shahe River and the mountains, except for a few wastelands in the distance, there are no people.I didn't see any other people along the way, and since I was close to home, I arrived soon.

There was a carriage parked in the yard, which was much more low-key than the one Fang Jinnian used. It looked inconspicuous at first glance, but it was actually made of excellent materials.Look at the two pulling horses, tall and strong, with shiny fur, they are undoubtedly very good horses.There is also a simpler carriage, with two guards standing beside it, carrying things down from it.

Qiao Mo was still evaluating and thinking, but felt that Lin Zheng paused slightly, and then he relaxed.

"Ah Zheng?"

Before Lin Zheng could answer his doubts, he saw two people turning from behind the house.In the front is a man in his forties, wearing a round-neck silk shirt, followed by a young man in his twenties, whose appearance is somewhat similar to the former, like father and son.

When the two of them saw Qiao Mo, they were all taken aback, with doubts and thoughts in their eyes.

"You are Qiao Mo? I didn't expect to find you." The man who was the elder opened his mouth first and introduced himself: "My surname is Zhou, Zhou Lai, Tuo Da, you can call Uncle Zhou. This is My son, come out with me to do business, his name is Zhou Sheng."

His son Zhou Sheng raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard his father's words, not understanding why he suddenly changed his words.

I just heard Zhou say: "Master has been looking for it for many years. I thought I would never find it again. Who knows that I suddenly got the news a few days ago. I didn't expect to find it, but I never thought of the mercy of the heavens. If I found it. Master knows, he must be very happy."

Qiao Mo was still confused at the moment, and secretly vigilant, but he didn't know that Lin Zheng was also full of doubts at the moment.

"Are you Lin Zheng? We didn't know you were married when we came here. Tell me about your son. When you get back, the master asks me, so I can answer." As soon as Zhou Sheng opened his mouth, Lin Zheng followed suit. Walking aside, avoiding the crowd, Fang whispered a few words.

Lin Zheng frowned slightly, then loosened his brows and nodded.

"This matter has to be clarified with Ah Mo." Lin Zheng was afraid that the more misunderstandings he had, the sooner Qiao Mo would be disappointed.

"This..." Zhou Sheng was also a bit puzzled and puzzled, because his father suddenly changed the pre-determined rhetoric for some reason.He didn't know how to intervene at this moment.

Seeing that they recognized each other, Li Xue didn't stay any longer and went home.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Qiao Mo finally opened his mouth: "Uncle Zhou, I was betrayed since I was a child, and I don't remember my relatives for a long time. Besides, even if there are relatives, I'm afraid none of them are alive. Uncle Zhou must have found the wrong person. "

In his memory, when the original owner was young, something happened in his family. The fire and blood were the deepest memories.He guessed that it was because of that accident that the original owner lost his protection and wandered around. His home and relatives had already disappeared in the fire, otherwise he would not have waited more than ten years to look for it.

Zhou Lai blurted out, "Do you remember what happened when you were a child?"

Qiao Mo frowned slightly, always felt that the other party asked a little eagerly, with a bit of surprise, he really didn't look like a liar.

"Only fragmentary images."

Zhou Lai sighed, that expression seemed to hide many things.

Qiao Mo almost asked, but luckily held back in time.

Lin Zhengjian saw that there were no outsiders, and he had no scruples: "Uncle Zhou, there are no outsiders here, so let's just say it."

Qiao Mo looked over in surprise, and heard that Lin knew these people.
