Spending the Bright Moon Together

"Hua...Miss Hua, I brought fish to you." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old dark boy stood at the door of Lu's house, looking at the back of the busy work inside, and stammered.

"Brother Zhuang, did you go fishing again this morning?" Hua Ning turned his head and saw that it was Zhuang Wenhan, a boy next door who usually came to help Father Lu, and said with a smile.

"Yes... yes, it's rare that the weather is good today, so I just wanted to go to the river to catch some fish and add some food. Miss Hua, you look beautiful today." Zhuang Wenhan lowered his head with a flushed face, not daring to look at Hua Ning.

When Zhuang Wenhan saw Hua Ning for the first time, he only knew that she was a girl living in the Lu family temporarily, and because the Hua Ning he met at that time was a person who didn't like to dress up and was very plainly dressed, so he didn't feel anything special. It is eye-catching, but during the past few days, Aunt Lu's pleasure is to dress Hua Ning extremely beautifully like a doll. She is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is in her prime. In the eyes of Zhuang Wenhan from the girl's family, he naturally looked much brighter than usual.

"Really? Aunt Lu made me like this, so it's not easy to do things. Brother Zhuang... I'm sorry, Father Lu and Aunt Lu are going to the city today, so it's not convenient for me to invite you in for tea. Let him entertain you again." Hua Ning stood at the door and responded politely, but did not intend to invite Zhuang Wenhan in.

"It's okay, I just happened to drop by to have a look. The fish is here, I...I'll go back first." Zhuang Wenhan put the bucket containing the fish by the door and hurried away.

Hua Ning looked at Zhuang Wenhan leaving in a hurry, and shook his head amusedly, then took the bucket by the door and put it in the kitchen. It's a pity that she doesn't know how to butcher fish, so she can only wait for Lu When the two elders come back, please ask Father Lu to do it again.

Because winter is approaching, Father Lu and his wife saw that there were not many clothes around Hua Ning, so they took advantage of the good weather today and went to Yingcheng to buy heavy winter clothes and bedding for Hua Ning. Hua Ning did not want to spend the money of the two old people. For the hard-earned money, before going out, he forced a handful of scraps of silver to Father Lu. Naturally, Father Lu refused to accept it. The two stalemate for a long time, and Hua Ning thought that if she didn't accept it, she would have no face to stay. Father Lu reluctantly accepted it. Of course, Hua Ning also knew that the little money was not as good as Father Lu and Aunt Lu's treatment of her, but she always thought that if she could not owe others, she would try her best not to owe it. No one can tell how long she will live in this place. If this kindness cannot be repaid, she will definitely remember it in her heart for the rest of her life.

"Ning girl, come and see, I picked out quite a few skirts for you, all in good colors, and this waistcoat and padded jacket are extremely warm." Aunt Lu happily asked Hua Ning to come out to see her purchases as soon as she entered the door. results.

"Auntie, why did you buy so many dresses? You also bought fabrics? How can we use so much?" Hua Ning knew that ordinary people here are accustomed to wearing dark clothes, she is lazy, so she didn't think there was anything wrong Okay, but that pile of clothes is at least a dozen pieces, right?How can she wear so many clothes by herself?

"I saw that these designs and colors fit you well, so I picked two of them and came back. Besides, how much are these? You don't know that the clothes drying in winter are slow to dry, so you can't be wronged that you only wear two or three. One piece, right? Besides, your current body is roughly like this, so you don't have to worry about not being able to wear it next year." Aunt Lu said.

"Oh~, let me go in and have a try. By the way, Dad, Brother Zhuang sent some fish over this afternoon. I have already put them in the kitchen. Could you please take care of them? I want to eat braised fish today." When Ning walked to the door with his clothes in his arms, he suddenly remembered that there were still fish in the kitchen, so he hurriedly turned around and said.

"Wen Han brought fish over again? Well, well, I'll get it later, freshly caught fish are the freshest, you can eat whatever you want." Father Lu responded with a smile, and walked to the kitchen .

"Oh! It's already so late? No wonder you are greedy. You are hungry. Go and collect your clothes first. I'm going to cook." Aunt Lu quickly looked outside the door, smiled and said After Hua Ning finished speaking, he also went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In a corner of the kitchen, Father Lu was catching a fish that was still alive and kicking, and knocked it unconscious at once. Only the sound of water flowing and the clash of knives and anvils remained in the space.

"Old lady, that kid Wen Han seems to be coming to our house quite often recently?" Father Lu said suddenly.

"... Don't tell me, I haven't noticed it yet. Although I used to come here to help with some field work, or to send fish or something, but this kind of slack days, I only come once or twice a month. , come here every few days..." Aunt Lu thought for a while, as if there was such a thing, she said inexplicably.

"Could it be that you fell in love with Ning girl?" Father Lu immediately approached Aunt Lu, and whispered affirmatively.

"What?! How can it be done! Let me tell you, Wen Han is a very good kid, but his mother is not a cheap lamp. The year before last, she was clamoring to find a daughter of a talented family for Wen Han. I'm willing to marry, and I don't think about how those sour master's children can do rough work? No, I can't get married until now." Aunt Lu shook her head in surprise, she didn't think Hua Ning could do it at all. Into the eyes of the dealer's wife.

"Don't say you don't want to, and I don't want to, but girl Ning is not a child of our family after all. How can I ask her to agree? Can you stop it?" Father Lu said with a sigh.

"I think she doesn't like that child Wenhan. Think about it, she has been living with us for two months. Sometimes, I see her in a daze alone in the room, not knowing what she is thinking, besides She never mentioned the past. A little girl who can read and do embroidery is definitely not from an ordinary family. The world is so chaotic, and there are many people who died under the swords of officers and soldiers. Maybe she met it before. What's the matter, not to mention that no matter how bad this year is, there is no marriage at her age, maybe..." Aunt Lu also sighed and expressed her opinion.

"Maybe she promised him a long time ago, but unfortunately, I'm afraid that I've lost hearing from him right now, so I feel sad." Father Lu took the initiative to finish the conversation.

"Otherwise, find a chance to ask. If possible, you can ask her for news when you enter the city. I think she is honest. If there is no trace of the other party, she will probably wait foolishly. How can it be like this? Isn't the good time wasted?" Aunt Lu said regretfully.

"That's right, that's right, I think she is a child with her own opinions, but don't be stupid about this kind of thing. No matter how chaotic the world is, there are always people with wolfish ambitions. Ning girl is pitiful enough. , don't pay for the rest of your life for an unnecessary person." Father Lu nodded in agreement.

Hua Ning was in her own room, so she naturally didn't know that the two elders were concerned about her future. After tidying up the newly bought dress, her eyes casually glanced at a corner of the cabinet. There was a token with a Tai Chi pattern lying there. In fact, Hua Ning had always carried the token close to his body, but today he took it off because he felt uncomfortable when he was doing things for Aunt Lu in the yard, but Yu Daiyan's name was written on the back of the token.

Although the various factions in the Jianghu do not regard merchants as important, they also own properties in many places. Yu Daiyan didn't know whether he was worried that Hua Ning would be left without care, or he had a premonition that she would leave, so he gave the token to him. Putting it into the baggage, it seems that it is intended to be reserved for Hua Ning.

However, Hua Ning has never used it except as a souvenir, otherwise the Wudang Seven Heroes would not have to find someone to find it for more than half a year.

"I didn't expect it to be almost half a year since I left like this. I don't know if he is doing well. He shouldn't practice too much in a hurry to recover his martial arts, right? Sigh, what do you want him to do? Maybe people have forgotten about me long ago. Maybe people... Forget it, don't think about it." Hua Ning picked up the token and said to himself with some lamentation.

Hua Ning conveniently put the token into his belt, and then heard Aunt Lu's call, hurriedly closed the cupboard, and walked out in response.

Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Aunt Lu has been busy preparing things for the New Year. Although there are only three people celebrating the New Year together, Aunt Lu insists that there should be no less courtesy, and Father Lu secretly complained to Hua Ning, saying that it was in previous years When they were two, she was like this too. As a result, after the Chinese New Year, there would always be more uneaten or unusable food at home... However, complaining is nothing but complaints. keep doing things.

On the day of Laba Festival, Aunt Lu got up early to cook porridge to worship her ancestors, but the people here were not the ancestors of Mr. Lu but Mrs. Lu's. With a neat demeanor and no grudges on her face, she must have worshiped for many years, and she couldn't ask more questions.

Country people don’t have so many activities to do during the New Year like people in towns. The great thing is that adults will buy a few strings of firecrackers or beautiful fireworks for the children to set off. What's new? Seeing the two elders rushing in and out, Hua Ning, who didn't understand anything, at most just helped clean the house, and watched Father Lu stick the Spring Festival couplets bought from a scholar in the city outside the door. Waiting for the arrival of New Year's Eve.

During the New Year's period, some activities such as dragon and lion dances were prepared in the open space of the small village. When Father Lu took Aunt Lu out to celebrate the New Year, he asked Hua Ning to go outside for a walk if he had nothing to do.

When they came to the open space, there were already many villagers chatting and joking there. Although Hua Ning had only come here not long ago, the villagers here did not have much xenophobic thoughts. She intends to talk more with these people, and she is also happy to see everyone like this, which is much better than dealing with three aunts and six wives.

"Miss Hua, are you out to play too?" Zhuang Wen trotted over blushing, and smiled at Hua Ning.

"That's right, anyway, if you have nothing to do, come out to watch the excitement." Hua Ning replied with a smile.

"Do you want me to accompany you to look around?" Zhuang Wenhan asked kindly, thinking that Hua Ning had only come to the village not long ago, so he must have never been to many places.

"Don't bother, I'm just walking around and I'll go back later." Hua Ning looked at a little girl not far behind Zhuang Wenhan who was looking at her jealously, thinking about it, he still didn't want to cause any trouble, He didn't want Zhuang Wenhan to have any misunderstandings, so he politely declined his offer.

"Okay, then be careful yourself." Zhuang Wenhan said with some disappointment.

"Yeah." Hua Ning nodded and walked to the other side. When he turned his head, he saw the girl pulling Zhuang Wenhan and acting coquettishly all the time, and Zhuang Wenhan coaxed him in a low voice with some helplessness. She just smiled and turned her head away. Take a second look.

The author has something to say: clumsy and broken thoughts (children's shoes that are too busy can be skipped):

Every time I see some heroines dealing with two or more men, it seems that this one is good and that one is also good. To be honest, I always feel very sad..., let alone if I use my body to do anything. When things happen, Rou will always want to swear at people immediately (the kind that will never sound good), and sometimes think about it~ I don’t know if this is a shortcoming, because of this, Rou will never be able to write the kind of Chao Qin Mu Chu (?) The heroine, fortunately, Rou knows that there are quite a few people who have the same thoughts as Rou, so she can still go on calmly.

And the part that Rou Neng can write is at most like today's Soy Sauce King, passing by without leaving a trace in the heroine's life.
