farmer's little girl

Chapter 53 Then You Close Your Eyes

When we arrived at the place where Han Jin lived, Hu San was sitting in the main room.

Seeing Lu Guangzhi leading a girl here, he was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this was probably the girl the boss liked.But he couldn't be too obvious, so he said in a hurry: "Boy Zhi, are you coming to see the boss? You just came, watch for me, and I'll go to the latrine." He looked very anxious.

Mingming felt like a cat scratching in his heart, and wanted to know what the girl the boss liked looked like, but unfortunately the girl was wearing a hood, and only a white chin could be seen, but he still resisted and walked away.

Lu Guangzhi was overjoyed, this way, he didn't have to find excuses to send Uncle Hu away.In his heart, he just needs to know about his sister and Uncle Jinzi, but it is not easy for outsiders to know about it, after all, it is related to his sister's reputation.

"Sister, go in quickly. Don't delay too long, I'll wait for you outside."

Lu Jiaoyue nodded hastily, ignoring the shame of meeting a man in front of her younger brother, she pushed open the door and walked in.

The light in the room was a bit dim, and it was airtight, and one could faintly smell the sweat that only a man had on his body.Logically speaking, this smell is not pleasant, but Lu Jiaoyue blushed.

Only then did he realize that this was where he lived.

She looked around, and found that the room was not very big, with an Eight Immortals table facing her face, and two square chairs with a few flowers facing the window.On the innermost side is a canopy bed with curtains hanging on it.There were two charcoal basins in front of the bed, and charcoal was burning in them, most of which were good charcoal, so there was no smoke, and there was no charcoal smell.

The room was very warm, but it was just because it was too warm that it made people feel stuffy.

"Uncle Jin." Lu Jiaoyue frowned and called out.

There was no movement on the other side of the bed, she felt anxious, so she walked over there.

Going to lift the curtain, I saw a man lying on the bed with his eyes closed.He has a square face with thick eyebrows and a high nose bridge. At this time, his long and narrow eyes are tightly closed, which makes him look a lot weaker.There are some stubbles on the chin, and it looks like it hasn't been cleaned up for many days.At this time, there was an abnormal blush on that bronze-colored face, his thick eyebrows were also tightly wrinkled, and his breathing was very rapid.

Lu Jiaoyue couldn't help stretching out her hand to touch his forehead, it was very hot.

She frowned even more tightly, first took off the cloak on her body, put it aside, then turned to open the window.I didn't dare to fully open it, only opened it halfway for ventilation.Then she went out of the room, went outside and said to Lu Guangzhi, let him find a basin to fetch some water, and then bring a cotton handkerchief.

Seeing the serious face of the eldest sister, Lu Guangzhi turned around and left without asking any further questions.

Lu Guangzhi came back soon. Seeing that the elder sister was looking at Uncle Jinzi on the bed with a worried face, he couldn't help asking: "Eldest sister, the water is coming. Is Uncle Jinzi seriously ill?"

Lu Jiaoyue took the water basin from her younger brother, soaked the cotton kerchief, wringed it half dry, and put it on Han Jin's forehead.

"Who took care of this person? What a nonsense! If a person's fever persists, drinking medicine is useless, and cold compresses are needed to cool down. The internal fire is already uncomfortable, but such a thick quilt is covered, so many charcoal fires are burned, and even ventilation I don’t know, I want to suffocate people to death.”

Lu Guangzhi had never seen such a big sister before, so he said: "This room is full of men, who can't even wash clothes on weekdays, how can they take care of patients, I guess I don't understand."

Lu Jiaoyue also understood this truth, but looking at Han Jin who was flushed from the heat and breathing rapidly, she couldn't help venting her anger.She didn't dare to imagine what he would look like if she didn't come today and he continued to have such a fever, she didn't even dare to think about it.

She changed Han Jin's veil in the past, and the whole person calmed down, "Will that person come over just now, will it be inappropriate for me to be here?"

At this moment, Lu Guangzhi also realized why Sanshu Hu left in such a hurry just now, probably because he wanted to move a place for them.

"Third Uncle Hu won't be back for a while. Ordinary people won't come in the courtyard where Uncle Zi lives."

Lu Jiaoyue immediately understood the meaning of her younger brother's words, and couldn't help but blush.

"Go and find a thinner quilt, it won't work with such a thick quilt."

Lu Guangzhi nodded, and went to rummage through the boxes to find bedding.

When the quilt was found, the two teamed up to change the quilt for Han Jin. Due to her shyness, Lu Jiaoyue just helped Lu Guangzhi and didn't even dare to lift her eyelids.

After changing the quilt, she asked Lu Guangzhi to get some wine.

Not long after, Lu Guangzhi came in with a jar of wine.

"Everyone in this house drinks alcohol. There is no shortage of alcohol. Fortunately, it is like this. Otherwise, I would have to go out to buy it."

"You use a handkerchief dipped in wine to wipe his body. Use some strength to wipe it. It's better to rub it until it turns red. Don't leak the limbs and upper body."

"Sister, is this the method mother gave us to reduce fever when we were young?"

Lu Jiaoyue nodded, and said, "You get it for him, I'll go out first to avoid it."

Lu Guangzhi didn't say any more, so he was busy going.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Lu Guangzhi came out. He smelled of alcohol and was panting from exhaustion.During this period, Lu Jiaoyue sat outside, thinking that someone would come in, she didn't know how to explain her identity.As time passed, the yard remained silent, and it seemed that there was no one else, so she felt relieved.

"Is it done?" she asked.

Lu Guangzhi said: "Let's not talk about it, my mother's method is really good. I see Uncle Zi's enthusiasm, it seems to have retreated a little."

Lu Jiaoyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "That's good."

She walked into the room, stepped forward and touched Han Jin's forehead, and sure enough, it wasn't as hot as before.

Lu Guangzhi went to Hu San and asked about boiling the medicine, while Lu Jiaoyue stayed and looked at Han Jin.She moved a stool and placed it in front of the bed, and sat there, silently looking at the man on the bed.

Han Jin who was in a coma also seemed to feel comfortable, and his breathing was not as rapid as before.

Lu Jiaoyue has never seen such a weak Uncle Jin Zi, in her mind, Uncle Jin Zi has always been omnipotent, it seems that nothing can trouble him.So when she saw Han Jin lying on the bed, so fragile that he seemed to be broken, she panicked.

She only knew that she was panicking and why she was panicking, but she didn't have time to understand.At this moment when she calmed down, she realized what she was panicking——

She is afraid.

She was afraid that she was finally willing to face his feelings, finally willing to face up to the fact that she liked him, but something happened to him.

After all, in his previous life he...

Lu Jiaoyue didn't dare to think about it anymore, she stood up and touched Han Jin's forehead worriedly, but when she put her hand on it, everything turned upside down.

Han Jin's eyes were still closed, his consciousness seemed to be a little unclear, he mumbled something, and then his face burrowed into Lu Jiaoyue's neck.

Lu Jiaoyue struggled a bit, wanted to push him, but couldn't.The prickly stubble ran across her cheeks, reached her neck, and rubbed back and forth on it.

She couldn't help but tremble, and a burst of numbness rushed up her spine.

"Uncle Jin..." She couldn't help but whispered.

No one responded to her, the hot breath sprayed on her neck, which made her whole body almost boil, and she was pressed tightly underneath, feeling that she could hardly catch her breath.

"Uncle Jin..."

Lu Jiaoyue pushed him hard, trying to withdraw herself.After working hard for a long time, there was no result, so I couldn't help but look at him, just in time to meet his burning eyes.

"Are you awake?" She frowned slightly.

"I thought I was dreaming, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Lu Jiaoyue, who wanted to be angry at first, suddenly disappeared.

"I heard from my brother that you are sick..." She blushed and pushed him with trembling hands.

"You worry about me." This is an affirmative sentence.

Without waiting for Lu Jiaoyue to react, Han Jin turned over, face up, and let Lu Jiaoyue lie on top of him.She just remembered, but was wrapped in his iron arm and couldn't move.

Obviously he was ill, even though he was very weak just now, but he still possessed strength that she couldn't resist.

"Uncle Jin, let me get up first." She stood up and went to break his arm.

"I'm feeling uncomfortable right now, let me hug you first."

The man's voice was a little hoarse, no longer the magnetism of the past.Not handsome but very manly face, pale and dry, Lu Jiaoyue's heart suddenly softened.

She was a little helpless, she had never seen anyone more rambunctious than him.If there is no one outside, it doesn't matter if she lets him hug him for the sake of his illness.But she couldn't tell when her brother would come in, so she still insisted on getting up.

"Get me up quickly, my brother will come later."

Han Jin had no choice but to let go.

After finally getting up, I was very tired, out of breath, and my cheeks were red like blood. If an outsider came in and saw it, I might think of it.It was also fortunate that Lu Jiaoyue got up quickly, as soon as she got up, she heard a voice from the main room.

"Sister, I brought Uncle Jin's medicine."

It was Lu Guangzhi.

Lu Jiaoyue quickly stroked her hair, straightened her clothes before going to the door.Opening the door, Lu Guangzhi stood outside holding a bowl.

"Third Uncle Hu went to make medicine for Uncle Jin Zi. The medicine has just been boiled. But, how do you drink this medicine for him?" Lu Guangzhi had a headache.

Lu Jiaoyue's head was lowered, and her voice was low, "Well, he woke up."

Lu Guangzhi glanced at his sister suspiciously, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes, he didn't go in, and handed the medicine bowl to his sister.

"Sister, I'll give you the medicine, and I'll go to the latrine."

Another urchin!

Lu Jiaoyue felt that she was almost unable to meet people, so after she went in with the medicine, she couldn't help complaining: "I blame you, I'm almost ashamed."

Although Han Jin was lying on the bed, he could hear the movement outside, so he naturally understood what she meant.It's just that it's not suitable for him to express any opinions at this moment, so he lay on the bed and pretended to be weak.

Lu Jiaoyue felt annoyed for a while, and knew that the medicine had to be taken while it was hot, so there was no delay, so she went forward and gave the medicine bowl to Han Jin, letting him drink the medicine by himself.

Han Jin didn't answer either, only saying that he had no energy.

Helpless, she could only sit on the edge of the bed and feed him the medicine.

Han Jin looked at her sweet and pleasant, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her, and now he didn't feel dizzy and powerless.Drinking the medicine she fed in his mouth, holding her white and pink hand in his hand, let alone how beautiful she is.

In fact, he woke up as early as when she first arrived, but he was uncomfortable, and he couldn't even open his eyes in a daze, but he knew everything that happened outside.Thinking of her panic just now, and thinking of her taking care of him so carefully, Han Jin felt warm in his heart.

After feeding a bowl of medicine, Lu Jiaoyue proposed to leave, but it was a pity that Han Jin didn't want her to go, so he didn't lose her hand.

"Okay, I really have to go. My mother doesn't know that I'm here in the county. Maybe she's looking for me now."

Han Jin also knew that it was not easy for her to come out, not to mention that he was carrying his back on his back, so he could only agree to let her go, but with a request, let her kiss him.

Lu Jiaoyue stared at him, but looking at his listless and weak appearance, she couldn't help but think of that day when he was standing in the ice and snow waiting for her, his body was covered in snow, and she didn't know how to pat her, so her heart softened.

"Then close your eyes first."

"Okay." Han Jin responded readily, and really closed his eyes.

It was a huge challenge for Lu Jiaoyue to take the initiative to kiss a man. She pursed her lips and prepared for a long time before she stepped forward.

She touched his cheek lightly, as light as a mosquito sting. Just as she was about to straighten up, she was wrapped around her waist by an iron arm. She moved her thin lips and kissed him directly. on her mouth.

She murmured, and could no longer speak.

Grinding and entanglement, it feels as if the whole person is swallowed up, and there is nothing else in my mind.

I don't know how long it took before Han Jin stopped.He cursed inwardly in frustration, blaming himself for being useless, for finally seeing the person he had been thinking about day and night, but he was powerless, panting badly after two kisses.

Seeing his appearance, Lu Jiaoyue couldn't help but feel a little worried, and she didn't care that she was being taken advantage of by him again, so she said anxiously: "The methods I used just now are just simple methods, they only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, if not, you should ask someone to find another doctor Come and see."

Han Jin shook his head, "It's okay, I guess it will be better in two days, I have a feeling."

"Really okay?"

Han Jin nodded, "Don't worry, I won't make fun of my body."

"Then remember not to cover the quilt too thickly. You can put a charcoal basin in the room, but pay attention to ventilation. If the temperature rises again, wipe your body with wine to cool down. By the way, there are still medicines to be taken on time, drink more warm water, Remember to eat the food, eat lightly." Lu Jiaoyue was chattering.

Han Jin lay on the bed, smiling and nodding.

"Then I'm leaving." Lu Jiaoyue stood up.

Han Jin looked at her reluctantly, "I'll ask Hu San to see you off. It's been snowing for several days, so the road will be difficult."

Lu Jiaoyue did not refuse, but hummed.

After Lu Guangzhi came back from the latrine, he asked him to find Hu San who had gone somewhere, Han Jin explained to Hu San, and he went to lead the car.After that, Lu Jiaoyue and Lu Guangzhi got into the carriage and returned to Daxi Village.

When getting off the car, Lu Jiaoyue greeted Hu Sanfu and thanked him.It wasn't until this moment that Hu San saw clearly the appearance of the girl the boss liked.

He is beautiful, gentle and polite.Hu San was so happy for the boss from the bottom of his heart, he lost his mind and said, "Sister-in-law, please don't thank me, this is what we should do."

Lu Jiaoyue's face flushed immediately, but she couldn't reprimand him loudly, so she could only nod hurriedly to him, then turned around and left quickly, even Lu Guangzhi forgot to call out.

Only then did Hu San realize that he had said the wrong thing, and scratched his head embarrassingly.

Lu Guangzhi was also a little incompetent, and said to Hu San, "Third Uncle, I'm leaving too."

What kind of seniority is this?
His name is Lu Guangzhi's elder sister and sister-in-law, Lu Guangzhi calls him third uncle, and the siblings are also called eldest uncle, Mei Zhuangyi is the older brother's brother, but he plans to marry someone else's niece.
Hu San thought for a long time but couldn't think of it, and he simply didn't think about it anymore, and left this problem to the boss to have a headache.

After returning home, Mei didn't suspect why her daughter had been away for so long, Lu Jiaoyue was relieved.

There are few things to pass the time in winter, and the weather is cold, so everyone can't go out, so they don't go out.

On weekdays, when Mrs. Qiao is free, she always likes to go from house to house to find someone to talk to. It was too cold this day and she didn't go anywhere, so she came to the second room to chat with Mrs. Mei.

In fact, she came to the second room not only because the second room had enough firewood, and it always kept the room very warm. There was another thing, that was to broadcast some recent events that happened in the upper room to the second room, and laugh at Mrs. Hu by the way.She has always hated Mrs. Hu, and felt that Mrs. Mei should be united with her. It is so boring to gloat by one person, and it is more refreshing when two people are together.

It turned out that although Erfang gave the Zhao family a one-month grace period, after all, in this cold winter weather, they couldn't sell it for a while, and Lu Guifang had a headache in order to raise money.

In fact, Lu Guifang is not willing to sell the house and land to raise money. You must know that if the house is sold, there will be no place to live, and if the land is sold, you will lose your livelihood in the future.Lu Guifang thought about it and planned to borrow money to raise money to pay off the debt.Her several daughters-in-law were all driven back to her natal family by her, and she asked them to go home to borrow money. In addition, the relatives of the Zhao family were also borrowed all over.

Some people borrowed it, and some didn't. All in all, the Zhao family has been very lively recently.

In particular, the natal family of the third daughter-in-law of the Zhao family is not a good trouble. Lu Guifang manipulated her daughter-in-law to go home to borrow money, and put it in the eyes of her in-laws. This is shameless and deceiving too much.They took people to Zhaojiawa to make trouble that day, and the Zhao family's reputation fell to the bottom in Zhaojiawa for a while.

Everyone has the same surname, and every family is close to each other. The Zhao family borrows money everywhere, and it is inevitable that they borrow money from their own family, so everyone hates the Zhao family even more. Now that the Zhao family is walking in the village, it is almost a place that everyone avoids. character of.

Don't mention it, the reason why Mrs. Qiao knew this was because Lu Guifang came back to her mother's house again.

This time she came back to borrow money from her natal family, and the old man Lu and his wife were the first to bear the brunt. It's a pity that the old couple don't care about the money now, so it inevitably falls on Dafang.

Hu's person, don't look at her who is smiling at everyone on weekdays, but if anyone wants to get money from her purse, he has to be quite capable.

Hu's way is deep, and Lu Guifang's methods are not bad.

In the past two days, the two have been torn up. The upper room has been very lively recently, and Mrs. Qiao often watched the theater on the sidelines.

"Second sister-in-law, I think your family has to make preparations as well. If it's not complete, my sister-in-law will come to your house. 100 taels of silver is not a small amount." Qiao reminded.

Mei was taken aback, and said: "Our family has no money to lend her."

"You know that your family has no money, but they don't know, so you can collect some money. Also, the righteous boy is not married, so be careful of her idea of ​​getting the money from the righteous boy."

The dowry that Erfang promised to the Pei family was ninety-two-nine, and everyone in the Lu family knew about it.All of a sudden, the two families stopped getting married. Although everyone doesn't know exactly what happened, but since they didn't get married, the money must still be there.They didn't know that the second room didn't ask Pei's family to return the dowry, including Qiao's. Otherwise, she wouldn't come to remind Mei of this.

Mei smiled wryly: "His third aunt, our family really has no money now, and all the money has been given to the Pei family as a dowry, and our family has ruined relatives, so we don't want to get back the dowry money."

Qiao's face was surprised: "I really don't know if you don't tell me about it. I forgot to ask you. Why did the Yi boy break up with the girl from the Pei family? Outsiders always say that your family is cheating, and they have been engaged for a year." There are too many, and I suddenly don’t want other girls. But I know that the second sister-in-law and the second brother are not this kind of person. What happened in the middle? Why didn’t the dowry come back? Did the Pei family deliberately refuse to give it? Although we are separated now Yes, but if you need to get ahead, don't forget to call the third child together, more people are always better."

Although Qiao Shi has various flaws, I have to say that she is very good at talking and being human.
When Lu Guangyi broke his relatives, even the old man Lu came to ask a few words, but the third roomer didn't come.Although it may seem a little indifferent, but this kind of embarrassing thing does not get to the bottom of it, but it gives the person a sense of relief.Coupled with today's words, Mei felt very comfortable after hearing it.

Therefore, Mrs. Mei did not intend to hide it from her, and told the troubles of the Pei family, and said: "Whether these things are right or wrong, the girls of the Pei family are also pitiful, so our family has no plans Take back those betrothal gifts. Firstly, we are the ones who ruined the marriage, secondly, the child has a bad reputation, and now that something happened again, with some money, I can always find a good family in the future."

Mrs. Qiao slapped her hands, "Second brother and second sister-in-law are really benevolent. I said it was for no reason. How could we ruin the relationship? In fact, second sister-in-law, don't dislike me for talking too much. I just disagree. Our righteous boy was supposed to save people and do good deeds, so why did he pay himself for it, especially the girl from the Pei family is not such an outstanding talent, our righteous boy is really aggrieved to match her."

Don't say it, it's true.Lu Guangyi is handsome, hardworking and capable, and there were quite a few girls who secretly liked him back then.Suddenly such a thing happened, Lu Guangyi made an engagement with the girl he rescued. When the news came out, many girls in the village were secretly sad.

Mrs. Mei smiled bitterly and said: "It's because our family thought badly at the beginning, and decided the marriage a little more hastily. If we look at it again, probably so many things will not happen. But the matter is over, even though some money has been discounted to go in. , In the end, it can be regarded as buying peace of mind.”

Qiao's expression changed unpredictably, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Second sister-in-law, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

"what's up?"

"I think you'd better not talk to Yi Xiaozi about this matter. I also heard people say that the Pei family found a marriage for Pei Gui'e, but this person is not a good one." Seeing Mei's puzzled eyes , she said mysteriously: "It is said that he is a widower, and there are two children in front of him. Once married, he will become a stepmother."

Mrs. Mei was a little dazed, "With those dowry gifts, there is no way I would find such a person."

Mrs. Qiao curled her lips, showing a clear expression: "So I said, second sister-in-law, you are doing things frankly yourself, so you think of the best of others. Then the Pei family has two sons, how much do you think those things can afford?" In the hands of the girl from the Pei family? I heard that the widower gave five taels of silver as a dowry."

Mei Shi was completely silent.

Five taels of silver is not a small amount. Since the widower can pay a lot of money to marry a wife, it must be the Pei family who asked for it.You must know that there are people like old man Lu in this world who marry their daughters with their family land, and there are also people who exchange their daughters for dowry gifts. Whoever offers the highest price will marry them.

Mei's mood was very complicated. She suddenly understood why Qiao said that this matter could not be told to the eldest son. If the eldest son knew about this, what would he think?
Don't mention it, Lu Guifang came to the second room to ask Lu Minghai to borrow money, just as Qiao had expected.

The reason why he didn't look for Mei Shi was also because he knew that Mei Shi would not lend her.

But she didn't think about it, the second room's money was in the hands of Mei's, even if Lu Minghai agreed to lend her money, it had to go through Mei's.Maybe she knows this in her heart, and she just wants to use her younger brother to suppress her sister-in-law, but who knows?

But the second room has no money to lend her.

Although the Second Household is not so stretched now, after the betrothal gift is left to Pei Gui'e, only the money from the grain sales a while ago is left in his hands. The money will be used until the beginning of next year, so how can he lend it to her.

Lu Guifang didn't believe it, and insisted on asking Lu Minghai to borrow money. No matter how Lu Minghai explained, she didn't believe that the second room would have no money. It wasn't until she couldn't bear it that she wanted to use Lu Guangyi's marriage money first, and Lu Minghai didn't know about her. What's your idea.

Depressed, he couldn't say it, and Lu Minghai didn't hide it from her, and told the story of his family's destruction of the dowry gift to the Pei family.

Lu Guifang didn't believe it, but now it's not a matter of whether she believes it or not.

One day, Erfang's family was sitting around the kang talking, when suddenly there was a hasty knock on the door.
