There are flowers and wine, hoeing and farming

Chapter 64

The man with a big beard chuckled, nodded to Boss Hu, and then picked up the big package on the ground: "Go, I brought you something, Second Uncle will take you back to the house. "

Qiaoqiao didn't have so many taboos, and his second uncle was also a careless man, so he went straight into her room with that bag, sat down on the wooden bench, and gurgled the cold tea next to him. He gulped and took a big gulp.

"Second uncle, it's cold. Slow down, I'll get you some hot tea." Qiaoqiao hurriedly grabbed the teapot and poured a large pot of hot water into it.

After drinking a few more sips of tea, Ning Weifeng breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his mouth, and asked Qiaoqiao to open the package with a smile: "It's all things your mother packed for you, and I brought them here. Let's see."

"My mother?"

"Yes, I happened to be passing by my hometown this time, and I went there by the way. I met your parents. They knew you were doing well here, and they were very happy. Your mother cried for a while, and she was packing these things while crying. Things, don’t stop until I stop them.” Ning Weifeng shook his head and said with a smile.

Qiaoqiao untied the knots on the burden, took out the contents one by one, and spread them all over the bed, watching and touching, Qiaoqiao's tears flowed down drop by drop.

"It's okay, it's okay, you two are alike. Crying and crying, these things will pass quickly, and it may be a blessing in disguise. How can we talk about worldly things?"

Qiaoqiao listened to Ning Weifeng's clumsy words of comfort, and felt that the most difficult days were over, and everything was getting better little by little, so she couldn't help but wiped her tears, and glared fiercely: "Second uncle just doesn't Can trick people."

Ning Weifeng chuckled a few times, then slapped his head suddenly as if remembering something, and looked at Qiaoqiao with a smile: "If it wasn't for this incident, our little girl would have been married long ago. Maybe this time she even becomes a mother."

Qiaoqiao thought of the marriage that had been settled when she left, and in a trance, the face of that simple and honest boy appeared before her eyes again, but she could no longer see clearly, and only had a general impression.

"It stands to reason that an uncle like me shouldn't tell you these things, but we are also in a special situation. Don't blame uncle. You are old enough, so you can't delay any longer. Your mother and your father are not only for you I was worried about those things, and I was even more worried about your marriage. Later, I didn’t know why, hey, your parents and your aunt discussed it for a few days, probably, probably..."

Qiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat, thinking of a possibility.

Sure enough, the second uncle here said: "Maybe, I was thinking about you and Zhiwen, but your father doesn't like his family too much, and he is still hesitating, so this matter has not been settled."

That worry became true, Qiaoqiao was very upset, and had another conversation with the second uncle before sending him off.

Under the irritability, she couldn't even get up the energy to wash up, she just spread out on the bed, pushed the pile of things her mother sent to the end of the bed, and lay down quietly.

After thinking about it, she didn't know when she fell asleep, and she didn't wake up until she heard a cock crow in the morning, followed by a loud sneeze.

After sneezing several times in the kitchen, Liu Jian couldn't help but pull Qiaoqiao aside: "Hurry up and go to the herbal hall in the west to grab some medicine to eat, it's freezing in this cold weather, it's not good to see It will be serious. You are skinny yourself. Just let me work for you."

At this moment, Qiaoqiao's nose was blocked and she couldn't breathe, her mind was in a mess, her joints were hurting, and she was limp without a trace of strength. In addition, what she heard from the second uncle yesterday made her feel even more irritable.She didn't force her anymore, she went to the front and talked to Boss Hu, and then went to grab the medicine with superficial steps.

"Can you do it? How about I catch it for you?" Liu Jian shouted from behind.

Qiaoqiao didn't turn her head back, she waved her hands, and walked forward on her own.

"thanks, thanks."

As soon as Qiaoqiao walked to the nearby Herb Hall, she heard a familiar voice. The woman who once sold sweet potatoes in their restaurant, and also the girl from the "villager", was holding a few medicine bags and pointing at the people inside. The buddy thanked her, although the clothes she was wearing were old and even patched, she was neither humble nor overbearing, and had a kind of unyielding spirit in it, which made a few men couldn't help but sneak a few glances at her, and muttered about what a pity or something.

Feeling impulsive, Qiaoqiao stepped forward and said under the girl's puzzled eyes, "I'm the boy from the restaurant in front."

The girl suddenly gave a oh, and then smiled at her: "This little brother, can you still eat the food?"

"It's delicious, no, those sweet potatoes are gone, and I was thinking of asking you for them, but I happened to meet you, so hurry up and send some."

"Okay, how much?"

"Send more, this thing won't break if left alone. Let's ask for three hundred catties first."

The girl frowned slightly.

"there is none left?"

"No, it's not." The girl shook her head hastily.

If she let others go, Qiaoqiao would not say anything more, but she felt that for this girl, she could not talk openly, recognize her fellow countrymen, etc., but she was able to do these things within her power, so she insisted Feeling dizzy, he leaned on the door frame and asked, "What's the matter?"

The girl probably saw that she was really sincere, and she didn't look too old, and she didn't have other thoughts about herself like other people, so she said, "I can't pull so much with a car."

"Oh, that's easy, just tell me the address, and I'll go with the guy in our restaurant."

She left her address, Qiaoqiao grabbed the medicine, went back to the restaurant in a daze, threw the medicine to Liu Jian, and asked him to boil the medicine for himself in the kitchen.

Lying on the bed, I don't know whether it was a dream or because the second uncle's words disturbed her heart, she saw her mother preparing a dowry for herself, and with the boxes of dowry, she was carried into a place , because she was covered with a red hijab, she couldn't see anything, and her voice was indistinct.The more anxious she was to see who that person was, the more disturbances around her, and when she was so anxious that beads of sweat began to ooze from her forehead, she finally couldn't help it, lifted her hijab vigorously, and looked directly at that person. past.

"Ah..." After widening his eyes, what he saw was not the man's face, but the messy thing at the end of the bed that was kicked by his own feet.

She plucked her hair and let out a long breath. Before she could recover, Liu Jian's voice sounded outside: "The medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot."

In a panic, he covered up some of his daughter's household items brought to him by the mothers at the end of the bed, and Liu Jian opened the door and walked in.

Bite the bullet and pour down a large bowl of medicine, wipe his mouth with the back of his hand: "Liu Jian, when I feel better, let's go to the woman who sells sweet potatoes to buy some more sweet potatoes. I just happened to meet her today and asked for the address. .”

"Okay, just ask. I know everything. After you recover, tell the boss, and we will go." Liu Jian heard that he could eat the delicious sweet potatoes again, so he became active.

Because Qiaoqiao was ill, the boss didn't let her go to work in the front, so she slept well with the quilt covered, and then poured in the medicine prepared by Liu Jian on time, and soon became alive and well.

I woke up early this morning, already completely recovered, standing in the yard breathing the cool air, Qiaoqiao stretched, and made a few soothing movements, so that the bones of my body, which had been languishing for a few days, stretched out again .

Before she could go to the front to prepare to boil water, she heard a noise from the side door in the backyard. Immediately afterwards, Qu Zhiwen's face was exposed from the wall. It was early in the morning, and the sun had not yet come out, so it was foggy. Taking advantage of his blurred face, he probably thought that there was no one in the yard, he was taken aback when he saw Qiaoqiao, then smiled brightly, jumped in, patted the dust off his hands, and smiled at Qiaoqiao in surprise in the yard.

"Wake up so early?"

"Well, what are you doing here? So early?"

Qu Zhiwen looked around Qiaoqiao with a smile, took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "Here, your letter."

Qiaoqiao took the envelope suspiciously, and after opening it, there were two folded ones, one was written by his parents, and the other was written by Qu Zhiwen's mother, that is, his aunt.

Qu Zhiwen knew her doubts, and explained: "These letters were sent by my second uncle that day, but they were written for me. Maybe I was afraid of losing them or thought they should be put together, so I didn't open them. It’s the same when I bring it to you after reading it, right?”

When Qu Zhiwen said these words, the expression of excitement and joy on his face never stopped, as if there was something that made him happy from the bottom of his heart, which made him exude a kind of unconcealable happiness.

"What's the matter? What's the fun?"

"Hehe." Qu Zhiwen smirked twice, and then looked at Dongfang pretending to be deep.

Qiaoqiao frowned slightly. For some reason, she folded the letter that she had opened and hadn't had time to read, and put it in her bosom: "Cousin is going to be promoted? Are you so happy?"

"Why don't you read the letter?" Qu Zhiwen answered the wrong question.

"I'm waiting to boil water and wash up now. Let's see it later."

"It's okay, it's okay, there's no rush. I have other things to do. Take care of yourself, and I'll come to see you when I'm free." Qu Zhiwen stretched out his hand and patted Qiaoqiao's head, then turned and left.

After confirming that he had gone far away, Qiaoqiao returned to her hut and opened the letter. The more she read it, her frown became tighter. After finishing the two letters, she leaned against the head of the bed and closed her eyes.

The meaning of Auntie's letter was obvious, she just hoped that the two of them could be together.She promised in the letter that Zhiwen would treat her well in the future and would never let her be bullied in the slightest. After she married, she would cherish her as a daughter and never ask her to set rules like other mothers-in-law. oppressed.

The letter from parents had the same meaning, except that they seemed to be under more external pressure and influence. Ning felt that she had left her hometown after being engaged. It is worth talking about the age of the relatives, the longer the delay, the harder it is to say. Although my sister's family is a bit complicated, it seems that it is the most suitable.

Father also asked mother to write something on his behalf to express his own meaning.He feels that he still hopes that his daughter can think about it carefully. The key is to look at his own heart. She can meet her cousin here and get along with her cousin when she was young. It's not that he can't find a better one, he also said that he has everything, and he will do more work, so that she can have more dowry, and he will definitely find a good husband's family.

Holding the letter in her hand, Qiaoqiao was caught in a dilemma.
