"Xiaochan, go back and change quickly, don't catch a cold."

Aunt He kindly helped Qiu Xiaochan pick up the bamboo basket and sickle that fell by the river bank, helped her up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Qiu's family lived at the end of the village, Zhang Daying didn't know about her daughter falling into the water yet, and was shocked to see her being brought back soaked.

"what happened?"

Afraid that she would be worried, Qiu Xiaochan explained with a smile, "It's okay, I accidentally fell into the river."

Zhang Daying carefully checked that she was not injured before he was relieved, frowned and asked her to go back to the house to change clothes, while he stayed in the living room to talk with Aunt He.

"It was saved by Comrade Gu who came down from the city. Today is really dangerous. People have been drowned in that river. You have to thank Comrade Gu very much."

Zhang Daying also said with fear, "This is what it should be, and I must thank you very much."

It's just that she was puzzled, her daughter used to mow grass near her home, why did she go to the village today

Aunt He groaned for a moment, patted Zhang Daying's hand, and said, "There is one more thing, Comrade Gu had a confrontation with her in order to save Xiaochan. Many people in the village saw it, and gossip will definitely be indispensable in the future."

Zhang Daying was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, and sighed again, "Xiaochan's marriage is already difficult, isn't this even more difficult?"

Seeing her frowning expression, Mrs. He explained, "You are at a dead end. Think about it, so many people saw it, so they made a wrong move. Isn't it suitable for Xiaochan to marry Comrade Gu? Comrade Gu's age It’s not too small, except for the ingredients, everything else is top-notch, it’s calm and stylish, and it’s a good match for Xiao Chan.”

Zhang Daying met Gu Wenqian, and vaguely remembered that he was a young man of Zhou Zheng, a man of culture from the capital. Letting him be her son-in-law was something she couldn't even imagine, but Mrs. He's words really eased her mind. If her daughter could really marry Comrade Gu, then she will really thank God and burn incense and worship Buddha.

But she didn't dare to think too deeply at once, and said implicitly, "Your suggestion is very good, but Comrade Gu needs to nod. It's useless for us to think about it."

It was a good thing that he saved his daughter, but it would be a bad thing if people didn't like it. Although Zhang Daying had never read a book and was illiterate, she was also a fastidious person, and she couldn't do the thing of revenge.

As for his daughter Xiaochan, Zhang Daying claimed to understand, be obedient and sensible, if this matter can be accomplished, as long as she nods, her daughter will not disagree.

Aunt He understood Zhang Daying's words, "That's a good relationship. Since you don't object here, I'll go to Comrade Gu and talk about it. I think this matter is still somewhat certain."

After talking, Mrs. He was going to the cowshed to find Gu Wenqian. Zhang Daying thought about it and asked her to bring the pumpkin pie that Xiaochan made at noon.

Qiu Xiaochan could hear the conversation between the two clearly in the room. Her original plan was to use the rumors in the village to put pressure on Gu Wenqian so that he had to marry her, but she didn't expect such a "good-hearted person like Mrs. He" to appear. ", brought up the rhythm directly.

The system threw cold water on her, "Don't be too happy, Gu Wenqian may not agree."

Qiu Xiaochan snorted, "You don't understand this. A good man is also afraid of pestering a woman. As long as someone speaks up and there are gossips in the village, if he disagrees, I will go to him and cry. How long do you think he can last?" ?”

What's more, the beauty of this body is not bad, and there is a situation of "same sickness and sympathy". She has made up her mind that she must conquer this mountain. "There are still seven or eight years, during which he will stay in Shangyao Village.

Mrs. He carried the bamboo basket all the way to the village, saw that Gu Wenqian had already changed clothes and started working, she greeted with a smile, "Comrade Gu is busy, thanks to your blessing, Xiaochan is safe today, Didn’t she just send that girl back, her mother knew that you saved her, she was very grateful, she insisted on letting me bring the cake along the way, this is made by the girl herself, a little thought is worthless, you keep it and try look."

The pies are deep-fried, crispy on the outside, and filled with shredded pumpkin fillings, which are salty and delicious. This kind of food was very popular as a thank you gift in the 1970s.

Qiu Xiaochan tormented her mother for a long time to do this before agreeing, the main reason was that it was too oily, and she was reluctant to put oil in cooking, let alone pancakes. Qiu Xiaochan promised to feed the chickens and save eggs, and Zhang Daying was relieved.

The oiled pancake exudes a tempting aroma. Gu Wenqian has not eaten such delicious food for a long time, and his senses of smell and taste began to function crazily, but he only took one look and firmly refused, "Ma'am, saving people is the right thing to do." , I took the wish, but I can't accept the things, so please help send them back if you are troubled."

Aunt He had already expected that he would not accept it, so she didn't get entangled in this issue, but smiled and found a bench to sit down, and said with a smile, "Comrade Gu, I have something to ask you, don't think I'm too much thing."

Gu Wenqian once worked as a carpenter for Mrs. He's family, and the two of them knew each other well, so there is no doubt that he agreed.

"What do you think of Xiaochan's girl? She is a miserable girl. She hasn't found her husband's family at the age of twenty-one. It's not that there is something wrong with her, it's just that luck has made people waste until now."

She told what happened to Xiao Chan, Gu Wenqian listened quietly and did not make a sound, Aunt He continued with a smile, "That's right, you saved Xiao Chan, I thought you and Xiao Chan were both unmarried, if you think If it's suitable, how about I tell Xiaochan to be your daughter-in-law?"

Gu Wenqian's pale face and pair of watery eyes appeared in Gu Wenqian's mind. He didn't hate her, but he never thought of getting married in the countryside. His father was "reformed" in the Northeast, and his mother stayed in the capital alone. Being harassed by radicals from time to time, it is impossible for him to leave his parents and live his own life in peace, and sooner or later he will find a way to go back.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I don't think about these for the time being, not to mention that my identity can't give others an ideal life. Miss Xiaochan is a good girl, and she will definitely meet her own happiness in the future."

Gu Wenqian's refusal was expected by Aunt He. Since he didn't want to, he couldn't buy and sell by force. Aunt He said a few more words and left. The pumpkin pie naturally stayed and refused to take it away.

At Qiu's house, the old lady was talking about marriage with her daughter.

"Comrade Gu has been in Shangyao Village for four years, and he won't be able to go back for a while. You can marry him. Although life is difficult without the help of parents and brothers, you don't need to look at the face of your mother-in-law. It is very difficult to be a daughter-in-law You guys will live at home after you get married, fortunately your father left these two rooms for our mother and daughter when he left."

It would be even better if I could go back someday. The capital is a big city. The two got married and had feelings for each other. They had a few children, and my daughter went to the capital to eat commercial food together.

Qiu Xiaochan and Xiafei said shyly, "Mom, I haven't written my horoscope yet, isn't it too early for you to think about this now?"

This shyness is naturally feigned, which is more in line with the character of the original owner.

Zhang Daying really smiled, patted his daughter's head and said, "Your Aunt He has already gone to talk about it, whether it succeeds or not, there will be a result immediately."

Qiu Xiaochan actually already knew Gu Wenqian's answer, but she couldn't show it in front of Zhang Daying, so she deliberately picked up the topic and said, "I think he definitely disagrees, he is from the city, how can he find a wife in the countryside."

"What's wrong in the countryside? If it wasn't for the difficult times in the world, you would have married and lived a good life long ago."

The young mistress of a local landlord's family is no worse than marrying a person from the city. Of course, this is something that must not be said now.

Thinking of these Zhang Daying wants to cry.

In less than half an hour, Mrs. He returned to Qiu's house again, and told the mother and daughter about Gu Wenqian's response. Zhang Daying was disappointed, and Mrs. He comforted, "He didn't stop talking. It's still good for Xiaochan to listen to what he said. Satisfied, still take into account the issue of identity."

"Hey, don't comfort me, I also thought that he probably won't agree, I just hope that Xiao Chan will get well."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Daying glanced at his daughter who bowed her head and said nothing, her heart ached like being pricked by a needle.

"A twisted melon is not sweet..."

She wanted to say forget it, but she didn't say these two words in the end. She didn't care, but it was related to her daughter's life. How could she, as a mother, care about her daughter's good or bad? The daughter's good marriage is also achieved, and it is also possible to kneel down and kowtow a hundred or a thousand times. This is her only wish in this life.

Aunt He has seen through her thoughts, only a mother can understand.

"Don't worry, I'll talk about it if it's not tomorrow. It's getting late and I have to go home and cook. I'm sure I'll take care of this. Even if it doesn't work out in the end, I will tell Xiao Chan a good family. But when the time comes, you can Don't think that Xiaochan married far away."

Zhang Daying held Aunt He's hand with tears in his eyes and expressed his thanks, "I really have nothing to say, thank you for taking care of Xiaochan so much."

"We have been friends for so many years, and I have watched Xiao Chan grow up, and I wish her all the best."

Qiu Xiaochan sent Aunt He to the door, feeling in her heart that there are still many kind-hearted people, but it is a pity that the original owner was sold by her brother and sister-in-law before waiting for a beloved one in her previous life. Seeing that she was married to a wrong person, Yu Sheng sighed that life was miserable, and there was no other way.

Because of this, Zhang Daying had no appetite until dinner, Qiu Xiaochan coaxed her to drink a bowl of porridge, and ate it with her pickled bean kimchi.

"The pickles are good, and the pumpkin pie at noon is also good. Your cooking skills are getting stronger."

Qiu Xiaochan said with a smile, "It's appetizing to eat like this in summer. Mom, don't be too anxious. You should be in a good mood and healthy. Worrying all the time will really make people sick, commonly known as worrying about death."

Zhang Dayingquan acted as if his daughter was making her happy, and said with a gratified yet sad smile, "Okay, I don't worry, there are hundreds of daughters in my family, I have such a good daughter, I have been so happy from ear to ear What are you worrying about?"

Qiu Xiaochan nodded, "That's right, you should have thought so earlier."

No matter what, it was impossible for her to repeat the tragedy of the original owner. Even if she couldn't get married, she would not become a poor wretch who was tortured by Chen Guilian.

After this period of time is over, she has to plan her life well in the future. Even if there is a system that can improve her life, every point she spends will lose one point, and she still needs to make progress.

At the head of the village, Gu Wenqian finally chose to heat the pie for dinner. It is shameful to waste food.

As soon as the oily and delicious pie was imported, his stomach that had not been wet for a long time completely surrendered to the desire for food. Ten minutes later, when he touched his full stomach, he fell into annoyance.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but it is difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. After today, it will take a long time to bow to the difficult life. He is a man and cannot indulge in his appetite. Now he is "decentralizing", money and food are hard-won, Nor can I accept the gift of the elders with peace of mind.
