In Grandma Li's eyes, my grandson is of course good anywhere, smart and kind. But the current reality had to make Auntie Li bow her head.
She thinks that everything is good, Sister Ye has been ignored. Sister Ye looks like her mother, she is beautiful and tall, but unfortunately she has an acquired hearing impairment. Good people don't look down on her. Those who ask for money for their wives are the sick seedlings who have been lingering on the sick bed all the year round. Grandma Li was reluctant to make her suffer and stayed until she was in her twenties.
Dragging and dragging, became Grandma Li's unspeakable heart disease.
Brother Bo... With this ingredient on the table, I'm afraid it's not too easy to say kisses.
Granny Li was silent for the first time ever.
This silence is not a default silence, but a sad silence.
Uncle De said, "If I'm being cheeky once, I'll send Si Ya over later and let them two young people go everywhere."
Uncle De also faintly accepted the fact that the master's family was completely down and out, from the former superior to the current inferior. But in his heart, his wife and Bo Ge'er are still his benefactors. Otherwise, he wouldn't deliberately send his carefully-pulled daughter to marry him.
In the afternoon, Uncle De's Pearl Si Ya came.
The girl is a little naive with her flat bangs. It's not as white and fat as her father described, but she doesn't look like her father. Although it is not beautiful, it is better to be born clean and lovable when smiling.
Granny Li took a few glances and looked satisfied.
She patted Si Ya's hand, "Let's go eat."
Xiang Si Ya narrowed her eyes and responded.
She vaguely knew her own father's thoughts, and always avoided suspicion and refused to come to He's house. After he was getting old, he finally came to kowtow to the old "host" wife a few years ago.
For the first time, Xiang Siya met the legendary Brother Bo, and he looked very handsome. The original seven points of reluctance turned into seven points of willingness.
She first chopped up all the firewood in the yard, then washed all the clothes of Grandma and Sister Sanya, and diligently hung them on the bamboo poles.
When she saw He Songbai, she lowered her head and called him "Brother Bo".
He Songbai rode his bike to the county after lunch at noon. When he came back in the afternoon, he saw Uncle De's daughter picking up housework in and out of his home, and also chopping up all the wood he needed to chop every day.
Before a girl gets married, she pays attention to being a "female red". The meaning of female red here is not the ancient embroidery, but the ability to clean up housework, wash vegetables and cook. Sister He originally talked about a marriage, and it was He Songbai who led the elder sister to the door. Sister He took care of housework inside and out, and showed the man the first-hand "female celebrity" she learned at her parents' house.
Looking at him now, there is still something he doesn't understand.
Sister He helped Si Ya dry her clothes together, and after drying, she patted her head with a smile, treating her like a sister-in-law.
It seems that she has already understood from her grandmother what Si Ya is here for.
He Songbai's temple throbbed painfully.
He pulled his eldest sister aside and looked at her fiercely and silently.
…
Zhao Lanxiang knew that the honest uncle De brought his daughter to He's house. The girl was cleaning up and down, doing laundry and even cooking. At first, she was a little surprised.
But seeing Mrs. He's attitude, she understood everything.
Si Ya is very diligent in her hands and feet. After cleaning up the outside, she came to clean up the firewood house. If Zhao Lanxiang said that she still wanted to cook, Si Ya would have "showed her skills" long ago.
She was cheeky and kicked people out.
Tang Qing was coming to He's house for dinner tonight. Zhao Lanxiang occupied the firewood room and calmly cooked a meal with braised pork.
What I do is braised pork belly, the crystal fat is thoroughly marinated, the secret soup is fragrant and attractive, steamed in the pot, the aroma that dissolves in every inch of meat can't wait to pour out, making people gluttonous saliva.
After she finished cooking, she let Tang Qing eat in the firewood room. Tang Qing talked a lot this time, took out his notebook and humbly asked Zhao Lanxiang how to make braised pork.
"It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him how to fish. If I learn it, why would I have to come back to you so often to trouble you?" Tang Qing said jokingly.
He paused and said, "Last time you taught me how to make noodles. I tried it a few times back, but I couldn't make it like yours, but it's a lot better than before. At least I can do it myself. "
For the sake of the bicycle, Zhao Lanxiang taught him how to make braised pork with the fresh pork cut back today. After she was done, she put the whole jar in front of Tang Qing:
"Marinate for a day, take it out and steam it tomorrow and it's delicious."
Tang Qing thanked her and took it as his own without hesitation.
After he was satisfied with his meal, Zhao Lanxiang gave him a few slices of creamy mango rolls as dessert.
Tang Qing was simply pleasantly surprised. He ate it up on the spot and licked the remaining crispy Momo'er. He smiled bitterly: "You are so kind, I can't believe how happy your husband will be in the future."
Zhao Lanxiang accepted his compliment generously, "Thank you."
After Tang Qing went out, he saw the girl who was drying clothes in the yard.
He smiled and asked, "Is this a distant relative of the He family? I've never seen it before."
Zhao Lanxiang said with cool eyes, "It should be."
She said nonchalantly, "Come on, I'll take you out."
She followed Tang Qing and walked out.
Tang Qing was wearing quite formal clothes today, with a white shirt and black trousers, perfectly ironed, looking extraordinarily elegant and delicate. In Zhao Lanxiang's eyes, he didn't feel that there was anything outstanding. Because she knew that Tang Qing was a man who loved cleanliness and paid attention to appearance.
However, in He Songbai's eyes, it was like a lung was pierced. She and the educated young man stood together like a pair of beautiful people. They could talk about life ideals together and share common interests.
Looking back at myself, half of my body was still struggling with firewood, rice, oil, and salt.
Si Ya lowered her head and smiled shyly.
She didn't speak for a long time when she saw anyone, and anxiously pulled La He Songbai's sleeve.
"You give a precise word, whether it is a hit or a miss."
He Songbai said apologetically, "No."
Sister He came over and beat her brother up, blaming him for "seizing the opportunity" without understanding.
This kind of daughter-in-law who doesn't need a betrothal gift can't find it even with a lantern, so he still doesn't cherish it.
Mrs. He was anxious and angry that he was not up to par.
She took a pair of bead flowers left to her by her mother and gave them to Si Ya. Si Ya smiled and pushed, but did not accept it.
…
After Zhao Lanxiang sent the person away, she glanced at He Songbai with a half-smile, and passed in front of him back to the room.
He Songbai knew that the target must be angry, he quickly grabbed her and said, "You don't need to come forward in this matter."
"I can handle it."
He paused for a while, and then said guiltily: "I may have to ask the eldest sister to help you in the future, but I can't help you."
He Songbai was talking about digging ditches.
Zhao Lanxiang, who is a little tasteful, has cool eyes.
She glanced at He Songbai, "You'll be fine if you take care of yourself. If you don't sleep at night to do heavy work, how dare I ask you to help?"
He Songbai squeezed her hand and did not speak.
In the evening, Si Ya had a meal and went back with her father.
Sister He took her hand and said, "I will come to play often in the future."
Si Ya shook her head and nodded again hesitantly.
He Songbai stared at his eldest sister with dark eyes, but she twisted her brother hard under the table.
After eating, He Songbai followed Uncle De out of the house and said earnestly, "I see Si Ya as my sister."
This sentence, Uncle De suddenly understood.
He sighed, extremely disappointed, and shook his head again and again.
The next day, He Songbai hurriedly slept for a while after finishing the work of splitting pigs, and went up the mountain to dig ditches just after dawn.
He finished his work very quickly, took advantage of the rest and tried his best to take the time to sleep in, and when he was full, he would go home after finishing his work.
Sister He went back with her brother. She took the brand new quilt and a hot water bottle that she had saved, picked it up and moved it to her brother's room, planning to let him take these things to Si Ya.
He Songbai wiped his sweat, but went to the bathroom, picked up the bucket and washed his clothes by the well.
A few colorful skirts belonging to women are folded on the man's rough and low-quality home-made clothes. He washes it meticulously with a calm face, and his face does not change when he washes his underwear.
After Big Sister He put down the quilt, she just glanced outside the door, her face turned pale in an instant, and her mind seemed to be slashed by lightning.
She ran over in a hurry, babbling in shock. She grabbed the laundry tub with her hands like crazy, and squatted down to wash it herself.
He Songbai was unmoved, and continued to wash his head while suffocating, rubbing the soap corners to make foam, and his flesh-colored underwear was almost deformed by him.
He said lightly, "It's just what you see with your eyes."
"But, she doesn't know."
His eyes were terribly dark, and he said earnestly, word by word:
"Because I adore her secretly, do you know what it's like? I can't want her, I'm not worthy of her, but I can want other women."
