"Brother Hua, is it really you? When did you come back?" It was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl who was speaking, wearing a floral dress and looking very pretty, with big black eyes staring straight at her. Looking at Li Hua is full of surprises.
"I came back yesterday." Li Hua replied politely, but his eyes were a little strange.
Li Shu next to him put down the cart, looked at the girl, and introduced to Li Hua teasingly, "This is Chunni from the third uncle's house in the east of the village." The ability of photographic memory, but let's say he is careful, he never remembers people and things that he doesn't care about.
Chun Ni pinched the big black braid on her chest, and looked at Li Hua with a little coquettishness, "Brother Hua, you don't remember me again? During the Chinese New Year, I even sent dates to your house."
Li Hua remembered that date. When he went to school after the year, his elder brother grabbed two handfuls and put them in his book bag, but he really didn’t remember this girl. “Chunni, are you going to the market too?”
"Yeah, my parents are over there." Chunni said, pointing to the couple behind who also pushed a basket of fish, while waving at them, "Mom, I'm over here."
"Third brother, let me push it." Li Hua took the opportunity to go to Li Shu and wanted to take the cart.
Li Shu stepped aside tactfully, and then said to Chunni, "Chunni, Third Uncle has bad legs and feet, so why don't you go over and help push the cart."
But Chunni came to Li Hua's side, bent over to help, and replied Li Shu, "It's okay, my mother is there to help."
Li Shu frowned slightly, and pulled Chunni over, "Little girl, your fourth brother and I are here, you'd better go back and help third uncle, besides, third aunt sees that you are with us, and she will have something to say later .”
"No." Chunni was a little anxious, and quickly grabbed the little girl beside her who hadn't spoken, "Qiqiao, tell Brother San quickly, did my mother ask us to help?"
Qiqiao seemed to be a year or two older than her, but her temper was much shyer. Hearing Chunila speak out by herself, Li Shu stared at her with long and narrow eyes, her cheeks were already flushed, and said I can't speak.
Chunni had no choice but to say to herself, "Really, third brother, my mother heard that Brother Li is going to marry a wife, and she is going to buy some gifts at the market today, and let me deliver them tonight."
"What do you mean elder brother marrying a daughter-in-law?" Li Shu could hear the fault in her words, "It's our family..."
"Third brother, it's getting late, if you don't hurry up, the fish will be hard to sell if you miss the market." Li Hua didn't want outsiders to talk about his family, besides, Li Man and Xiao Wu were always by the side.
Of these two people, one was kept in the dark and didn't know, the other was too young and pure-minded, he didn't want outsiders' criticism to hurt them.
"Well, let's go." Li Shu ignored the two girls and walked straight beside Li Hua. Although Li Hua was young, he really didn't do much physical work. into the ditch.
Li Shu joked that his younger brother had only been studying for two years, and he was no longer able to work well. He pushed Li Hua away and pushed the cart by himself.
In the front, Li Man was holding Li Xiaowu's hand, but she completely ignored the back, the two were talking and laughing as they walked.
In fact, we couldn't understand each other what to say, but the excitement and expectation for novelty were the same.
Li Man: "Then what are there in the market? People selling candied haws? Practicing juggling? Performing arts—is there anyone with a big stone in their chest?"
Li Xiaowu: "The second brother said that there are many people there, and there are many delicious and interesting things. The fourth brother said, if you sell the fish, you can buy me steamed stuffed buns, stuffed with meat."
Li Man: "By the way, will there be any jokes about selling one's body to bury one's father? Or street bullies snatching women? I don't know what kind of heroes in ancient times were like?"
Li Xiaowu: "Sister, elder brother said that there are many people there, and there are also bad people, later sister must follow us closely—"
