Yoshida Mii

Chapter 32 Thank You
Shuan Zi was wearing a gray cloth short jacket and black trousers. He had not gone out to play wildly during his recuperation for the past few days. His face like a black leather egg seemed to have turned white, but the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and his expression was serious.

Dong Bao and him stared at each other for a long time, but he didn't see a word, and just looked at himself so seriously, Dong Bao felt hairy, and asked cautiously, "Are you feeling better these days?"

That day Shuanzi ate poisonous fruit by mistake. After Dongbao managed to make him spit it out, the Hong family invited a doctor from the town to give Shuanzi a diagnosis and treatment. Everyone in the village knew about it. thing.Today, Dong Bao and Li Shi went to the town to meet Shuan Ziniang, who went to the pharmacy to get the medicine for Shuan Zi.

Shuanzi nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable, and opened his mouth for a long time, when Dong Bao and others were all anxious for him, Shuanzi said, "What happened today is something wrong with our old Hong family, I will apologize to you !"

Dong Bao heaved a sigh of relief, this kid didn't come here to find fault, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, your grandpa has already paid the gift." The reason why she wanted to charge two dongs of money was because she didn't want to have anything to do with the Hong family anymore. Didn't old man Hong feel that he owed him a favor, so he should use money to make up for it, so that everyone can feel at ease.

Shuanzi shook his head, his expression still serious, "I'm a man, I dare to do what I dare to do. My mother is a woman with little knowledge, so don't bother with her. My grandfather said it, and our old Hong family will do what we say." , I am not a person who does not want to repay you, and I will never let you be wronged." Shuanzi's tone became more and more solemn.

These few days he was recuperating in bed and could not go anywhere. Grandpa told him a lot, and he also understood a lot of truths. He knew that it was the tigress who saved him. If he goes out, then he has to take up this responsibility and marry a tigress, oh no, he can no longer call her a tigress.

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Dong Bao's heart, and he heard Shuan Zi say: "Don't worry... I will definitely marry you in the future!"

I thank you!Dong Bao only felt that she was completely drenched in a pot of dog's blood. Seeing Shuan Zi with a serious face, she almost wanted to grab the skirt of the ten-year-old boy's clothes and ask him, "Do you know what marriage is?" Marry, dear!"

Looking at this serious, upright and rigid face, it was clearly influenced by old man Hong's macho patriarch!

"This... really doesn't matter." Dong Bao waved his hand awkwardly, "I heard from my mother that I'm already engaged, and besides, I also collected two tangles from your family, and it's even, and we don't owe each other."

My little friend, Auntie doesn't want to destroy such a small underage flower like you, and fall in love with a ten-year-old boy... I can't get over this hurdle psychologically!
Shuanzi said carelessly: "Everyone in our family has said that the family who is engaged to you is very rich, they don't like you, and they will definitely not marry you. And the two pennies, my grandfather said, In the future, our two families will be in-laws, and now your family is in trouble, and my family should help your family, and he thinks it is too little for two dime!"

"Your lord really said that?" Dong Bao took a deep breath. The villagers either laughed at her as a fierce tiger girl, or despised her for being poor. She had no father and no natal brothers to help her. Why did she come to old man Hong? She became a sweet potato.

Shuanzi nodded, and there was another sentence he hesitated for a long time before saying. His grandfather hugged him and let out a long sigh, saying that Dongbao was very narrow-minded, and his mother must hate the Hong family for making such a fuss today. Damn, it's all his mother's fault, she came to bully people without even saying a word, she lost face and did bad things again.

Looking at the crying and fussing mother, the ten-year-old man couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, hey, women are troublesome!Why do you have to get married!
"Shuanzi, your family wants to marry Dongbao, why didn't you ask him if he would like to marry?" Lin Shi's voice came from behind the two of them. He waited for Dongbao at home for a long time before he came out. Lo and behold, as soon as he came out, he heard Shuanzi's words.

For some reason, Shuan Zi felt a gloomy feeling when he saw Lin Shi's gentle and warm smiling face.

Quanzi stared at Shuanzi with dissatisfaction. At noon, he also wanted to go to Song's house to support sister Dongbao, but his grandfather held him back, saying that he was still young, and it would be useless to go there.He has grown up and is a man, and adults always look down on him!Damn it!

"That's right, sister Dongbao won't marry you!" Quanzi said angrily. He is about the same age as Shuanzi and often plays together, but this guy's mother is not a good person, she is unreasonable and fierce. Sister Bao marries him, otherwise she will be angry with his mother every day?Just like Grandma Song next door bullying Sister Dongbao's mother.

"Who else can I marry if I don't marry?" Shuan Zi was confused.

Quanzi choked on Shuanzi's question, and immediately replied, "Sister Dongbao can marry too many people! Who cares about you...I, I can marry Sister Dongbao too!" Quanzi suddenly remembered , Shuanzi is about the same age as him, since Shuanzi can marry, so can he!
Before he finished speaking, Quanzi was slapped on the back of the head. Looking back at the smiling elder brother, Quanzi was full of grievances. He was standing up for Sister Dongbao, so how could he slap him!
Lin Shi smiled with a warning, "If you talk nonsense again, I won't take you out to play in the future. How can you talk nonsense about the girl's family's marriage, so that people can hear it, so why not arrange Dongbao!"

Dong Bao looked at Lin Shi almost gratefully. Quanzi and Shuanzi, two little kids who don't know anything... think that getting married is just a play. Today I will marry you, and tomorrow I will marry him ?

"Did you hear that?" Dong Bao took the opportunity to say to Shuan Zi: "If you want to repay your kindness, don't talk about marrying or not in the future, I won't marry you."

Shuanzi nodded, feeling a little helpless, "Okay then." In fact, he didn't quite understand what was going on, and then he patted his thin chest and said very proudly: "You saved my life, I owe it to you." No, if you need help in the future, just come to me, Hong Shuanzi!"

This kid, you've heard too much Water Margin...

Originally Dong Bao and the Lin family brothers were going to cut pigweed, but Shuanzi was temporarily added, so four people went together. After cutting pigweed, the four went to the small river at the head of the village.

Spring has arrived, peach blossoms and pear blossoms are all over the Tagouji, and wild flowers are blooming all over the hillside, especially the flowers and trees in the ditch. Looking from afar, it is very spectacular and beautiful, but in Dongbao, a rare beauty in the eyes of modern people, is nothing more than an ordinary sight in the eyes of the other three.

Tagouji has four distinct seasons, and each season will have different scenery. Spring is full of flowers, colorful, summer is green and lush, autumn leaves are red and yellow, autumn is high and refreshing, and winter is snowy and snow-covered.People who grow up in the city seldom come into contact with nature, nor can they see or appreciate the beautiful scenery of changing seasons.

The small village is quiet and beautiful. This kind of ancient times is something that Dongbao has never experienced in her previous life. There is no war, and the palace princes are quite far away from her, and there are no martial arts heroes described by Jin Yong. There are only trivial and complicated farm life, ordinary hard work.

The petals that fell from the peach trees by the river fell into the river, and drifted away along the river. On the stone slabs by the river, there were a few big girls and young daughters-in-law, chatting and laughing, beating the clothes in their hands, and holding their sleeves high. , showing half of his white arm.

Going up along the river is the mountain of Tagouji, and the small river flowing through Tagouji is formed by the collection of streams on the mountain.The three children followed Lin Shi all the way up, the river became thinner and clearer as they walked.

Lin Shi asked Dongbao to lead Quanzi and Shuanzi to stay on the shore obediently, while he poured out the pigweed, stretched his trouser legs up, dripped into the creek, and used his back basket to catch fish and shrimp in the creek , If you catch fish and shrimps, you will throw them on the shore, Dongbao and the three will quickly pick up the small fish and shrimps thrown on the shore, and string them up with thinner branches.

Lin Shi bent over and fished back and forth in the creek for half an hour before wading back to the shore. There were only a few small fish and shrimps at this time of year, not fat enough. The big fish that rushed down, if you are lucky, you can catch fish weighing two or three catties.

The four of them picked up a lot of firewood. Lin Shi brought flint, first ignited the fire with a pinch of dry grass, and then carefully added branches to it, blowing gently. After a while, the flames grew bigger. Small fish and shrimp are skewered into several skewers and grilled on the fire.

Shuanzi was very excited. There were no older brothers in his family. The older children in the village thought they were too young and were not willing to take him to play. It was the first time for him to grill fish and shrimp outside. He thought it was more fun than bringing a group of children with snotty noses There were too many, it was much higher than throwing urine mud and climbing trees. After making up my mind, I played with Brother Dashi and Brother Quanzi.

It is also the first time for Dongbao to grill small shrimps. The shrimps born in shallow streams are almost transparent, with long beards and eyes like black sesame seeds. The whole body seems to be made of water. It went in as soon as it was stabbed.

The fish and shrimp are easily cooked, lacking salt and oil, and burnt a lot. It is definitely not as good as the grilled fish sprinkled with various condiments that Dong Bao ate in the barbecue field in his previous life. However, a few and a half The older children still ate with relish.

The prawns are too small, and they will become even smaller once they are baked. Dong Bao looked at the red prawns on the branch, and couldn't help but said, "If only I could get more prawns and make them into shrimp paste."

Shrimp paste is a good thing, mixed with rice and fried into vegetables, it is fresh and fragrant. In ancient times without MSG, it was a good condiment.

"Dong Bao knows how to make shrimp paste?" Lin Shi asked. When he was studying in the town, he heard from outside traders that there are many shrimp paste on the seashore, and the sea shrimp caught by fishermen can only be kept for a day or two. It is easy to store if it is dried into shrimp paste.

Dong Bao nodded quickly, "Yes!" After thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate, and added, "I saw someone else do it."

Lin Shi looked at Dong Bao and laughed, "Okay, I'll call you more next time."

The sun shines into the creek, and the water surface is shimmering, but Dong Bao feels that Lin Shi's eyes are brighter than the water surface of the creek.
