Blind wife

Chapter 25: The Peaches Are Ripe

Seeing the ripe peaches all over the garden, Ergou felt sore all the time. He still remembered what he said to Taozi, and invited her to eat the peaches when the peaches were ripe.He knew that Taozi would not come. She is now Dagou's unmarried daughter-in-law, and she is waiting for his family to save enough money to get married. Ergou's hard work and sweat are concentrated in this Taoyuan, thinking that the money from selling peaches will be given to him. The big dog marries a wife, and the one he marries is Tao Zi, so his heart can't turn around this corner.

The big dog was still busy looking for work outside, Liu Maogen and Jia Cailan both went to Taoyuan, picked peaches with Ergou, put them in baskets, and let Ergou pick them to sell in the market in the town.In previous years, Dagou and Ergou were responsible for selling peaches. This year, Dagou happened to have a job to build a house for his family, so Ergou was left alone to sell peaches.

One day, a family of three picked two baskets full of peaches. Er Gou picked up the load and went out of the Taoyuan to go to the market in the town. Hei Zi gave it to the gate of Taoyuan. Taoyuan.

Ergou left the village entrance, and saw Zaohua standing on the side of the road waiting for him in nice clothes from a distance.

Ergou came to Zaohua and said, "Zaohua, are you waiting for someone here?"

Zaohua said with a smile: "Wait for you, Brother Ergou, I will go to town with you."

Ergou looked around to see if there was no one around, and then he talked to Zaohua at ease: "Zaohua, don't follow me all the time, it's not good for the villagers to see."

Zaohua still smiled and said: "What's wrong? I'm going with you. You sell peaches, how can you come alone? Let me collect the money for you."

Ergou said, "Are you really not afraid of being seen by acquaintances?"

Zaohua said: "What can I do if I see it? It's not like I haven't sold with you before. Brother Ergou, I'm not afraid. What are you afraid of? Let me go with you."

Ergou hesitated for a moment and said, "You used to be young, well, if people ask, you just say I'm your brother."

Only then did Zaohua cheer up, and followed Ergou up the mountain road, all the way to the small town.

The two arrived in the small town, occupied a place on the street, put down the bamboo basket, Ergou took off the straw hat, held it in his hand and shook it with a fan to cool off.There are not too many people in the market, and most of them are people who set up stalls and do business and are busy preparing.Zaohua looked very happy, smiling everywhere.

There is a stall next to him selling glutinous rice noodles. He is in his 40s and has been involved with Ergou.

The noodle seller said: "Young man, your peaches are really good this year. They are big and energetic. They can sell for a lot of money this year, right?"

Ergou said proudly: "Yes, it depends on whether you can sell it for a good price."

The noodle seller said, "Is this your sister?"

Ergou glanced at Zaohua and said with a smile, "It's my sister."

The noodle seller said: "The little girl is very energetic and spiritual at first glance. From now on, I will tell your sister a good husband's family."

Zaohua made a face for the noodle seller, and said, "I don't want my in-law's family in this life, so I just stay with my brother."

After Zaohua finished speaking, she glanced at Ergou, Ergou was a little unnatural.She was happy in her heart, and said in her heart: "I've been entangled with you all my life, and I don't want anyone but you."

There are more and more people in the market, and some people come to buy their peaches. After some bargaining, the business is concluded.By noon, the peaches were almost sold out, and both of them were sweating from the heat.

A button of Zaohua's jacket was opened, but he was too busy not to notice it. Ergou squinted his eyes and looked in through the seam of Zaohua's jacket, and hurriedly looked away.

Ergou reminded her in a low voice: "Zaohua, fasten the buttons of your coat."

Zaohua lowered her head and saw it, and let out a cry, her face turned red, and she hurriedly fastened the button, her heart jumped.

Until the peaches were sold, Zaohua didn't say a word to Ergou, sometimes she would sneak a glance at him, and then turn away.

Ergou squatted there, took out the steamed buns he brought and handed them to Zaohua: "Zaohua, after a busy day, are you hungry? Have something to eat."

Zaohua took a bite of the steamed bun, chewed the steamed bun with her mouth pursed, and the always cheerful and generous Zaohua became shy.

Ergou tidied up the bamboo baskets and picked them up with a pole: "Zaohua, let's go back."

Er Gou said to the noodle seller, "Uncle, we've sold out and we're going back. See you tomorrow."

The two left the small town and embarked on the mountain road back to Taohuagou.

Zaohua followed Ergou and walked for a while, Zaohua said embarrassedly: "Brother Ergou, did you see it at the market just now?"

Ergou didn't come back to his senses for a while, and said, "What did you see?"

Zaohua complained to him a little bit, but she liked it in her heart, and said, "Oh, you asked the question knowingly."

Ergou smiled and said, "I didn't watch it, I was afraid that others would see it."

Zaohua thought for a while and said, "Brother Ergou, I know you like me, otherwise why would you remind me."

Ergou hastily argued: "Zaohua, don't think about it wrongly, these are two different things."

Zaohua said: "That's right, that's right, you like me, I'm sorry to say, let me tell you for you, okay? Zaohua, I like you."

Er Gou had no choice but to say, "Okay, such a big girl, I don't feel ashamed to say this, I blush for you."

Zaohua said with a smile: "There is no one else here, I am not afraid. Brother Ergou, I will go to the market with you to sell peaches tomorrow."

Er Gou said with a straight face: "That's no good, if your family members find out, they will think I've done something to you."

Zaohua said: "Don't worry about it, it's a deal."

The sun slowly sank under the mountain in the west, and a colorful sunset appeared in the sky. The clouds changed in various patterns, which was really beautiful.

Ergou turned his head and said to Zaohua: "Let's go, the teeth grow a little bit, we walked for so long, we can't go back when it gets dark."

The two quickened their pace and walked towards Taohuagou.

On the second day, Ergou and his parents picked two full baskets of peaches, still carrying them on poles, and walked towards the entrance of the village.He was afraid that he would meet Zaohua, so he walked around the entrance of the village, and then strode towards the small town.

Er Gou was carrying the burden, and when he was about to reach the town, Zao Hua trotted all the way to catch up, his little face was red because he was in such a hurry.

Zaohua saw Ergou and yelled angrily: "Ergou, wait a moment."

Ergou frowned when he heard her voice, so he had to stop.He turned around and said, "Zaohua, didn't I not let you come? Why are you here again?"

Zaohua said angrily: "This street belongs to your house? If you want to come, you won't want me to come? We talked well, why didn't you wait for me?"

Ergou said, "I didn't run into you at the intersection, so I thought you were busy today."

Zaohua was still angry, and said: "I have been waiting for you at the intersection, are you avoiding me on purpose?"

Ergou smiled flatteringly: "I didn't, well, since you're here, come with me."

Zaohua still wanted to be angry, so she held her mouth shut, and finally laughed out loud, and said, "It's pretty much the same, I'll play hide and seek with me from now on, let's see how I deal with you."

Zaohua put on a smiling face and followed Ergou to the town market.

The two arrived at the market, set up a stall at the same place as yesterday, and started preparing to sell peaches.Ergou's peaches are big and sweet. Anyone who has eaten them knows that there are many people who buy them. One sells peaches and the other collects money.

The sun shone hotly on the two of them, and the sweat on Ergou's face kept rolling down. Zaohua took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face and then on Ergou. Avoid her, and finally let her wipe it if you don't mind.
