"How can that be? How can my big brother think that? Where is he? I'll go to him now. " Zhang Qiao says to lift to get out of bed, can be pressed by Liu Shi again go back.

Liu frowned: "what are you worried about? Listen to me first

"Mother, you say."

Liu Shi a face serious way: "Qiao, if you are such body again, parents also agree with your elder brother's way of doing.". Not only did he not go to the village yard, but his parents also went back to being butchers. We have a family of five, and we have never let you start a family. "

"Mother, how can you think so? I'm not tired. I don't even dream much recently. I have a good rest. Yesterday was an accident. You can't upset the whole family's plan. You can't be a butcher! If you don't go to the village yard, you can't do it! "

"You can't do that, either!" Liu is very firm.

Creak

When Jin pushed the door in, Zhang Qiao rushed to him for help, "elder martial brother, please tell my mother quickly. I'm not so tired that I fainted. My own body, can't I know? Elder martial brother, just tell me the truth. Don't bully me. I'm not as good as you. "

But Shijin shook his head with a smile.

"Auntie, the body of the younger martial sister is really nothing. Most of the girls are anemic, so it's OK to eat more blood tonic food."

Liu Shi: "really?"

Shijin handed the medicine bowl to Zhang Qiao, and said to Liu with a smile, "Auntie, do I cheat you?"

Liu's listen, this just relieved some.

Zhang Qiao quickly added: "Niang, can you be at ease now?"

"Drink the medicine first."

"Your honor, my mother." Zhang Qiao crisp voice should be, that playful appearance provoked to laugh Liu Shi, she angry one eye, "you ah, is too sensible."

Zhang Qiao drinks the medicine, gets up to wash, and then goes up the mountain to find Zhang Liding. While the brother and sister work and chat, Zhang Qiao persuades Zhang to set up a project in a few words.

The next day, he went back to the village school.

The days returned to normal.

……

Tomb Sweeping Day.

The Liu family prepared the sacrificial things one day in advance. This morning, the family went to Lao Zhang's house to meet with the people there, just like in previous years, and went to sweep the tomb of Zhang's ancestors.

Old lady Zhang is stingy. When she sees that Liu has something ready, she is not even prepared for incense. Only a few children of old Zhang go to the sundry room to get some sickles and hoes. When they got to the place, they were asked to mow. Zhang Dacheng took a hoe and got some new soil to spread on the grave bag.

Incense, worship, paper money, firecrackers.

The two families separated at the foot of the mountain and went home separately.

Liu went back to the house and brought out a bamboo basket. He looked at his family and his eyes fell on Zhang Qiao. "Let's go, let's go and give our benefactor a piece of incense."

Zhang Liding met the benefactor Liu said when he was three years old, but he had no impression of Jin Jin. He only knew that she was a beautiful woman. Liu asked him to call her aunt Qiu.

Aunt Qiu was buried in the back of their house, not far away, only about 100 meters apart. Under an old pine tree, there were a large and a small grave bag together. On the wooden tombstone, there were only a few words.

Tomb of good friend ah Qiu.

The tombstone of another small tomb is blank.

Liu explained to them that this was the tomb of their aunt Qiu's mother and daughter. At that time, a Qiu was rescued from the mountain by Liu before giving birth.

Both of them are in labor, and there are no men around them. They cherish each other, so Liu takes ah Qiu in. Ah Qiu has been hiding at home, never seen anyone, and no one in the village knows that there is a woman in labor in Liu's family.

When ah Qiu gave birth on the day of thunderstorm, ah Qiu refused to ask wenpo, so Liu had to help her deliver the baby by herself. But ah Qiu had difficulty in giving birth, and finally neither mother nor daughter could survive.

Liu is sad and remorseful. She buries ah Qiu's mother and daughter behind the house. Since that year, she takes her family to go to ah Qiu's grave every Qingming Festival.

Liu stood in front of the grave, staring at the tombstone.

Zhang Qiao was plucking the grass from her grave bag, and she went to pick two bunches of flowers and put them respectfully in front of the grave. Liu ordered incense and gave it to his family. "Liding, ah Qiao, ah Qian, you three kneel down and kowtow to your aunt Qiu three times."

"Yes, mother."

Three people should be, kneel down together, the movement neat kowtow.

Looking at the tombstone, Liu's eyes twinkled with tears. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it again.

Seeing that his wife was sad, Zhang Da Cheng stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, tightened it and pressed it lightly. "Cuihua, our family will remember her kindness."

Liu said that when ah Qiu came here, life in this area was not easy. The drought led to no harvest in the fields. If ah Qiu had not taken out her jewelry and asked her to buy food, their mother and three would have starved to death.

Liu nodded, wiped his tears, and his eyes fell on Zhang Qiao again.

When he came back from tomb sweeping, Liu was in a low mood. "I'll go back to the house and do whatever you should. Don't worry about me."

"Mother, you sleep. I'll make lunch." Zhang Qiaolian is busy. There's something wrong with Liu today. I haven't seen her so sad when I came back from tomb sweeping before.Zhang Qiao pushed Zhang Dacheng and winked at him.

Zhang Dacheng quickly embraces Liu, "let's go, I'll accompany you, and other things will be left to the children." Finish saying, involuntarily embrace Liu Shi to return to a room.

"Well."

"Brother, we've run out of firewood. Please chop some firewood. I'm going to pick up some vegetables and come back. " Zhang Qiao took the bamboo basket and turned out of the courtyard.

Something's wrong with her mother. She seems to have a lot on her mind.

It's OK in front of her. When she was sweeping the tomb for Aunt Qiu, her mood was wrong. Zhang Qiao stopped, turned her head and looked at the tomb bag that was visible through the trees, with a slight frown.

Is the relationship between aunt Qiu and their family really like what her mother said?

"Ah Qiao, what are you looking at?" Lin Tianyou didn't know when he was standing behind her. He followed her eyes and thought she was looking at Zhang Jia.

Zhang Qiao took back her eyes and squinted at him. "What's the matter with you?"

Lin Tianyou shook his head! I just came back from the mountain and saw you here, so I came to say hello. Ah Qiao, your birthday is next month, and I'm going to take the local examination. I may not have time to come back to celebrate your birthday. "

"No! I'm not going to invite you. In our current relationship, it's better not to meet than to meet. I went to the vegetable field With that, Zhang Qiao walked around him to the river.

"Ah Qiao." Lin Tianyou takes three and two steps to stop in front of Zhang Qiao anxiously. He looks at Zhang Qiao patiently and sorrowfully. "Ah Qiao, I'll try my best. When I get a good place in the local examination, I'll talk to my mother. Let's..."

“……” Zhang Qiao walked around him again.

This time, Lin Tianyou didn't stop her, because he saw Shijin coming from the opposite side, looked at him with inquiry, and then went to the vegetable field side by side with Zhang Qiao.

Are you just brothers and sisters?

Lin Tianyou looks at the elegant Shijin, thinks that he is a ghost doctor disciple, and then looks down at his own material, which is very unpleasant.
