pastoral fragrance

Chapter 53
Han Shi slowly raised his head, looking at the pretty and somewhat outrageous young man in front of him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a smile froze on his face.Her eyes gradually moved away from the boy's cheeks, and gradually looked into the distance, her eyes were erratic and distant, as if she was caught in a memory. "Speaking of which, I hugged you when you were young, but you were still a baby at that time, so how can you remember? We came from Luoshui Village."

Luoshui Village?Didn't mother just come from Luoshui Village?Moreover, he heard his mother mention a marriage a while ago. The woman is from Luojia Village, and it is said that he and he are still married by fingertips.Could it be that this aunt is his fiancée's mother?

Zhang Cheng subconsciously glanced at the little girl next to Mrs. Han. The girl had a naive baby face and was only seven years old at best.Could it be that her sister was the one who married her?
Zhang Cheng was stunned for a while, his mind was still in a trance and he couldn't react.After understanding this relationship, getting along with each other will feel somewhat awkward.Zhang Cheng rubbed his hands together, but he didn't show any twitch. "Auntie, little sister, take a rest first. There are not enough seats in this row, so we have to wait until the next row." The yard at home is not big enough, but there are many guests, so they can only ask for floating seats.

Han doesn't mind, she hasn't slowed down yet, and taking a break is just what she wants. "It's okay, you can go to work on your own, Auntie just sit here for a while."

Around noon, the first row of seats finally finished.The mothers-in-law and aunts invited by the Zhang family brought cold dishes bowl by bowl to the stove in a smooth manner.Those bowls and chopsticks were quickly taken outside the stove for cleaning.And a new round of banquets was arranged.

At the moment Qiulin was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. She was sitting on a chair, and before the food was served, she smelled a mouth-watering aroma of food.Qiulin, a foodie, couldn't help but twitch his index finger.

One after another, carefully prepared dishes were brought to the table, and there were more than a dozen dishes.

Zhang's family opened a grocery store in the village. Although this villager's family has to weigh a lot about what they sell, the necessary things for oil, salt, vinegar and tea must be bought.In Haitang Village, only the Zhang family opened a grocery store, and the business was naturally booming.Moreover, the head of the family is doing business outside, so the family is naturally not comparable to this farmer's family.

Ordinary people, whose children have passed the childbirth examination, how can they arrange banquets like this?

When the Han family came here today, they only looked at the wealth of this family, and all of a sudden they felt that this family was overshadowed by themselves.When she came here, she had made up her mind to marry this family, but now that she came over to take a look, she felt that she couldn't make it, and she was a little bit discouraged.

Seeing Han's sullen expression while eating, with worry in her eyes, Qiulin knew that she had something hidden in her heart.But there were a lot of people talking at the table, so if you asked like this, you were afraid of being chewed out, so you had to hold back your words and bury your head in eating.

After eating, Han's mother and daughter were placed in the house again.Probably busy until noon, these guests retreated one after another.After Mrs. Qi washed the dishes, he sent Zhang Cheng to each house to return the bowls, while he put away the tables and took them to each house to return them.

"Brother Zhang Cheng, I'll go with you." Anyway, there's nothing left and right, so it's better to go for a walk with this future brother-in-law and learn more about his character.Qiulin Shi Shiran stood up, and ran over with a smile on her legs, clutching the baskets with bowls in her two small hands.

Zhang Cheng was very enthusiastic when he saw this girl, maybe he could find out something later, Zhang Cheng didn't refuse.It's just that Qiulin didn't dare to let Qiulin carry this thing. It's not good if it gets bumped in the future with its small arms and small body, so she just let her follow.

The two quickly walked out of Zhang's house and went to the entrance of the village.Now is the turn of spring and summer, the weather is neither hot nor dry, the cool breeze is blowing, and the sun is shining on the top of the head.What catches the eye is a row of lush greenery.The early-blooming peach blossoms on Moshang have already withered their spring reds and grown tender green leaves, but the snow-white pear blossoms and plum blossoms are bustlingly blooming, as if they were flawless white jade.

The two walked in tandem, with Zhang Cheng walking in front and Qiu Lin following.For a while, the atmosphere around the two of them was silent.

Qiulin was so naughty, when he saw the intoxicating fragrance of plum flowers on the side, he wanted to reach out to pick them.But my arms are short and I can't reach them at all.Zhang Cheng turned around just in time to see this scene, so he put down his basket and walked towards Qiulin. "Let me pick it for you."

Zhang Cheng didn't need to tiptoe at all, he picked a bunch of plum flowers easily and handed it to Qiulin.

Qiu Lin stretched out his hand to take Li Hua over, saying that it is good for a Taoist to be tall and burly, and it doesn't take much effort to do things. "Thank you, Brother Ah Cheng." She whispered.

Zhang Cheng smiled slightly, his expression suddenly became in a trance. "No need...does your sister like flowers too?"

Qiulin was stunned for a moment, she thought this guy didn't know who she and mother were, he knew their feelings!Now the relationship is even more embarrassing. If he had known she would not have come with him, he might have thought that the elder sister specially asked her to come here to observe her future husband-in-law for her.Although this is the original intention of my coming here, but now Zhang Cheng said so.Qiulin felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed that the little pain in her heart was exposed to the sun like this.

Qiulin's face turned green and pale, "Everyone has the heart of love, which girl doesn't like such beautiful flowers?"

Zhang Chengle laughed again, he looked good when he smiled, like the sunny boy who was popular in his previous life.It seems he doesn't have that nerdy tendencies. "That's true." Zhang Cheng picked up the basket again, pondered for a while, and finally asked, "What kind of person is your elder sister?"

Uh... is this telling the truth or a lie?Qiulin bit her lip, the elder sister's personality of listening to wind and rain is really unbearable.No, he also wanted to get something out of her about his feelings!
"My eldest sister is a diligent and honest person, and she loves our younger brothers and sisters very much. She knows how to share housework for parents at such a young age. She is the only eldest sister in my heart." Qiulin said these words sincerely.Although the eldest sister would occasionally give her a slap and give her a few words, but generally speaking, the eldest sister was also for her own good, and she always loved them.

Zhang Cheng was silent for a while thoughtfully, and then Qiulin saw his head nod twice, and didn't see him ask anything else, so Qiulin just lowered his head and didn't speak.

Qiulin and Zhang Cheng walked back and forth silently in this room, and Qi Shi packed up everything in that room, and only then did he have time to sit down and talk to Han Shi.

Mrs. Qi took a sip of water, and said slowly: "I really didn't expect you to come, sister, are you in good health now?"

"Sister Lao Qi is concerned, she is almost on the mend, but she still can't do the heavy work, I'm afraid it will trigger the disease again. I'm really sorry to say it, I only know about it, but I don't think about it. Ah Cheng was admitted to Tongsheng this time, but I didn’t prepare anything, so I’m really sorry.” When Han came here, she didn’t expect that today would be a banquet for Ah Cheng to celebrate Tongsheng, so she only took some ordinary presents Ducks, eggs, and the like.

Mrs. Qi shook her head, and hurriedly persuaded: "Why didn't you take anything, isn't this a duck's egg? Besides, if you have the heart to come here, why do you pay attention to these trivial etiquette?"

Mrs. Han exchanged pleasantries with Mrs. Qi for a long time before explaining the purpose of her visit. "Sister Qi, what you told me last time, it's better... Forget it. Your Ah Cheng is born with a good appearance, and he is also a scholar. He will definitely have great achievements in the future. Our Ah Yue is just It's just an ignorant girl in the village and the countryside, she really isn't good enough for your Ah Cheng..." Such a good son-in-law was rejected like this, and Han's heart ached.But she knows how much her daughter weighs. Zhang Cheng has an extraordinary bearing, and he will not be trapped in this village for the rest of his life. Such a good boy really shouldn't be buried by his daughter.

"Nonsense! Your daughter is eloquent, she is not born like the three-year-old, and she is not a lazy person. Such a good daughter-in-law, but every family is asking for it! We are all in the village, so why should we pay attention to those things?" They are well-matched? I think these two are a perfect couple! Don't underestimate yourself, big sister, your family, A Yue, looks very pleasing to me, and I think Ah Cheng will also like it."

Mrs. Han was stunned for a while, but she didn't expect Mrs. Qi to say such a thing. In this way, she intended to let Ah Yue be her daughter-in-law.However, Mrs. Han has always been worried, "But isn't the head of your family not at home, why don't we discuss this matter after he comes back?"

Mrs. Qi laughed heartily, "Are you worried that my boss doesn't like Ah Yue? Don't worry about that. I told him about it when he came back during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't say anything after hearing it." Objection or something. There is nothing wrong with the daughter-in-law I have a crush on. Big sister, don't worry, when Ah Yue gets married, our family will not treat her badly."

Now that the Qi family has said so, then the Han family has nothing to worry about, and the marriage has been verbally agreed upon in this way.

Han and Qiulin had dinner at Zhang's house before rushing to Luoshui Village.Qiuyue was at home all day long, and the baby silkworms didn't need to eat after they went to sleep, but she chopped up mulberry leaves and wanted to throw them into the silkworms.Before throwing it in, he suddenly remembered, and quickly threw the chopped mulberry leaves to the chickens.

It was almost dusk, and the sunset glow on the other side of the day dyed the whole sky red, which was very beautiful.Qiusong Qiuhe, who went to school, went home together, but she still hasn't seen the bullock cart that her mother and younger sister are riding into the village entrance.

Ah Huang on the side was also listlessly lying on the ground, where did that damn girl Qiulin go?Didn't she know that after she left, he didn't have enough to eat at all?This crazy girl ran outside the house all day long, and she didn't know she was thinking about him, sad reminder!
