"Do you have to return the two pieces of Xianyang?" Chen Sinong asked, looking ahead.
Everyone here knows Guo Hongxiu, and she replied: "I want to pay it back, but this is not the place to talk, you see, everyone is looking at us." ”
"Do you know where no one is?" he deliberately distanced himself from her.
"Old place. You go first, I'll go back and ride your bike. "She's very thoughtful.
Chen Sinong was very familiar with this place, and climbed the high river embankment around the path and walked towards the old place.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was no one on the embankment.
It didn't take long for Guo Hongxiu to come on Chen Sinong's own.
"Why do you believe Dalong's words, don't you understand my heart now? You really make me angry. Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I won't get angry. She had a smile on her face.
"It was my fault and I apologize to you. He reached out and took her hand and said, "I went to the winery to look for you, but you were on holiday early." I've published another article that I'm going to show you. ”
"Really, what's it written, did you write me in?" she was excited.
"Definitely, it's strange that you can't publish it if you don't write it in. He said with a gloomy expression, "I have been to the provincial capital twice, and the long story has been yellow, so I dare not tell you, for fear that you will be sad." ”
"It's normal, how can there be a hit, I'm sure you can do it. She encouraged him.
"Only you can comfort me like that. He looked at her face and said, "You don't look good, what's wrong with you?"
"Si Nong, let me tell you the truth, I am sick and have been in the hospital for many days, not for the Chinese New Year, I may still be lying in the hospital. I don't want to tell you, I'm afraid you'll be worried. She smiled and said, "Now I feel better." You're wondering why I didn't go to see you on vacation, right?"
"It's me who is wrong. Whether anyone saw it or not, he put his arms around her and said, "Now I'm more uncomfortable." ”
She said that the cause of her illness could not be found, the low-grade fever was difficult to go away, and she had no energy at all. Sometimes she would have a high fever, which made her babble and call his name. His father suggested telling him, but her mother adamantly disagreed.
When he heard this, his heart was like a knife, and his tears came again, saying: "Xiu, it's me who is bad, you have to forgive me." ”
"Fool, I don't blame you. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't shed tears, I'm fine." With you, my heart doesn't know what's going on, and it's naturally steady. ”
"My grandmother misses you, would you like to go and see her old man's house? You still take the two pieces of Xianyang yourself, and return them to her in person when you meet, and it will be my fault if I go to pay them back." He took out the two pieces that were clanging in his pocket and put them back in her pocket.
"Alright then, I'll go see her old man someday. She smiled and said, "My mother asked me where I came from, but I just wouldn't tell her." She said it's fake, it's fake, and if she wants me, she won't give it to her, hehe. ”
"Fake? He was a little surprised.
"Really, I've asked someone to see it, it's the authentic Yuan Datou. My mom lied to me. She said, pausing slightly, and she deliberately asked, "Si Nong, if I had an incurable disease, would you want me?"
"Don't say you're sick, even if you can't get out of bed, I will take care of you for the rest of your life. If you want to say that during the Chinese New Year, you can't say that. He slapped his mouth with his hand.
"I believe in you. She asked, "If I marry someone else, will you still want me?"
"Yes. You're kidding me, but I'm not going to blame you anymore. He laughed happily, and the corners of his eyes appeared at a young age.
"What I said is true. ”
"Are you and Wan Changgen really engaged?"
"Dalong is not lying. ”
"Then why doesn't Wan Changgen admit it. ”
"He didn't know. ”
"Why?"
"His dad came to my house in person, and my mom has already received the dowry. ”
Chen Sinong's face really turned pale now, he let go of the hand holding Guo Hongxiu, and was extremely angry: "What era is this?! Your mother is going to have such an arranged marriage! We eloped!"
Guo Hongxiu did not show anger, which was very different from her temperament.
"I have no reason to resent my mother, since she wants to arrange it this way, I will obey her. I feel like I can't afford to toss anymore. Her expression was so calm, as if she wasn't talking about herself, she was talking about someone else's business.
"Have you decided to marry Wan Changgen?" his eyes were about to erupt with fire.
"Yes. She nodded without the slightest nostalgia, and said, "I will go to see your grandmother, and I don't want her to leave regrets." ”
What's the use of saying this, Chen Sinong couldn't listen to it at all, and walked away.
Guo Hongxiu looked at Chen Sinong's angry back, sighed softly, and went home.
Wan Changgen waited left and right, couldn't wait for Chen Sinong and Guo Hongxiu, went to the place where the bicycle was placed, saw that Chen Sinong's bicycle was gone, knew that he didn't say hello, he had already left, so they went home.
It was late at night, people were quiet, Guo Dacai and his wife whispered:
"Third sister, I observed it today, Xiao Chen and Xiuxiu's relationship is quite deep, otherwise, return the bride price sent by Xiao Wan's father. ”
"Xiuxiu nodded, besides, Xiao Wan has always been so good to her, you are still afraid of accidents. ”
"I think back then, your mother didn't want you to marry me, you came here secretly, did you forget?"
"Times are different. At that time, I came over, and if you put firecrackers in your house, you will be married. ”
"I'm not bad for you. ”
"These are two different things. ”
Guo Hongxiu was lying on the bed and could hear it clearly, thinking: "Mom, you only allow the state officials to set fires, and you don't allow the people to light the lamps." I am sick and afraid that Si Nong will be affected, otherwise, I will be wronged and seek satisfaction? I believe that no matter how I toss, Si Nong will always love me. ”
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Guo Hongxiu came to find Chen Sinong alone. She didn't enter the door, she just wanted to see Granny Zhu.
In advance, Chen Sinong had already told Granny Zhu about the specific situation, and she was even more distressed when she learned that Guo Hongxiu was ill, and said: "I have lived for such a long time, and I will not look at the wrong person." And happily accepted the two hundred yuan given to her by Guo Hongxiu.
When Chen Sinong took Guo Hongxiu to see Granny Zhu again, Granny Zhu had to cook a bowl of noodles for her to eat anyway.
Granny Zhu is so old that she cooks noodles for Guo Hongxiu, and she also puts four eggs and a chicken leg in it. Guo Hongxiu was deeply moved, and under Granny Zhu's repeated requests, she didn't even know what the taste was, and ate all the bowls of noodles.
Granny Zhu was very happy and said, "I won't look at the wrong person, I will definitely not look at the wrong person, Xiuxiu is a good girl." Si Nong, you must not treat her lightly, if you have a bite to eat, you let her eat first. Don't treat her lightly, be a man, and don't break her heart. ”
Where did Guo Hongxiu accept Granny Zhu's heartfelt words, the two pieces of Xianyang in her pocket didn't dare to take them out and return them to Granny Zhu, tears fell straight down, and said: "Grandma, with your words, even if I am a cow and a horse, I will always be your granddaughter-in-law." ”
"Look at it, Si Nong, what a good girl, this is really a blessing from the previous life. As soon as Granny Zhu was excited, the old tears came again.
Chen Sinong's heart was as calm as water, and he said in his heart: "Grandma, people have really become other people's daughters-in-law, there is no need to be emotional." ”
Anyway, Guo Hongxiu came to visit her grandmother, most of them were also for the sake of his Chen Sinong's affection, otherwise, there are so many elderly people in the world, why didn't she go to see it, but she wanted to visit his grandmother.
When Guo Hongxiu left, Chen Sinong still went to see her off. This delivery can send trouble, and it happened to be bumped into by Wan Changgen's father, Wan Dequan.
At that time, Wan Dequan didn't squeak, just smiled at Guo Hongxiu and left.
Chen Sinong has been to Wan Changgen's house several times, and he has known Wan Dequan for a long time, he called Wan Dequan "uncle", but Wan Dequan pretended not to hear.
Wan Dequan returned home and said to Wan Changgen: "Today, I bumped into your old classmate surnamed Chen and Guo together, I'm really angry!"
"Dad, what are you angry about? They've always been good, it's strange not to be together. "Wan Changgen is not sad at all.
"I told you to increase your horsepower to chase after you, but you didn't even catch a single hair, which is too disappointing. Wan Dequan pointed to Wan Changgen and said, "Are you still my son?"
"Her temper is too bad, and Director Huang said the same, and it is also a hot potato when she catches her hand. Wan Changgen said.
Wan Dequan said bluntly: "Regardless of whether she has a bad temper or not, as long as she gives birth to a son for our family, she can do whatever she wants." If you ask her to come to the house tomorrow, she will definitely agree, don't be afraid!"
In the face of his father's aggressive posture, Wan Changgen couldn't figure it out, he didn't know where his father's confidence came from, and he would come if he wanted to call Guo Hongxiu to come to the house, is it possible?
Regardless of whether his father was dreaming or drinking too much, Wan Changgen really went to Guo Hongxiu's house and invited her to play at home. Unexpectedly, Guo Hongxiu's parents agreed, and she herself was very happy.
Seeing that their son invited Guo Hongxiu, Wan Dequan and his wife smiled and squinted, put aside the remaining dishes at home, and killed chickens and ducks on the spot, so that she could eat the freshest food.
Guo Hongxiu did not shy away from being alone in a room with Wan Changgen, and even took the initiative to sit next to him. As long as Wan Changgen has a little idea, hugging her and kissing her or something, it's absolutely no problem. However, Wan Changgen is like those cunning rats, he doesn't dare to eat the food delivered to the door, and he has to steal it himself to eat it at ease. Now, Guo Hongxiu, who couldn't ask for it before, came to her arms, and he was still afraid, pretending to be a humble gentleman, and he didn't even dare to touch her hand.
"Changgen, I just want to ask you a question: Have you ever really liked me?" Guo Hongxiu looked at him with charming eyes.
"This, this ......" he couldn't answer, as if he had just met her.
When she saw that he could not answer, she asked again, "How would you feel if I said that I had never liked you, but I wanted to live with you?"
"This, this ......" he still couldn't answer.
She no longer embarrassed him, and said, "Let's go to dinner, and perhaps you will speak your heart when you have drunk." ”
This is the first time Guo Hongxiu has come to Wan Changgen's house for dinner, and all the dishes have just been made, which shows that Wan Changgen's parents attach great importance to her.
Guo Hongxiu hadn't started to pick up the vegetables yet, and her bowl was already full of chicken legs and duck legs, which were all given to her by Wan Changgen's parents. Where did she get to eat so much, and said, "Don't give it to me, I'll come by myself, and you can eat too." ”
Wan Dequan looked at Guo Hongxiu, the more he watched it, the more he liked it, and said to Wan Changgen: "The old classmate is here, if she doesn't eat well today, it's your responsibility." ”
"Mmmm, Hongxiu, whatever you want to eat, you must eat well. Wan Changgen, who used to talk and laugh, became very restrained in his own home.
"Thank you, thank you. I don't know etiquette, so I just eat it. Guo Hongxiu took a few green vegetable leaves and chewed them in his mouth.
"Eat chicken legs, eat chicken legs, don't eat greens. Wan Dequan persuaded with a smiling face.
"I ate too many greasy things during the Chinese New Year, so I wanted to eat some green vegetables. Guo Hongxiu was anti-guest and said, "Don't watch me eat, eat together." ”
Wan Dequan was suddenly stunned, just watching Guo Hongxiu eat, and he hadn't moved his chopsticks yet.
In the end, Guo Hongxiu only ate a few pieces of green vegetables and lotus root, and didn't eat a single chicken leg.
It is estimated that he stayed at Wan Changgen's house for more than four hours, and Guo Hongxiu said goodbye to Wan Dequan's family. Wan Dequan stuffed a red envelope for her, and Li Qiulian also stuffed a red envelope for her, don't let her go, there is no way, she has to accept it.
It's easy to treat guests and it's hard to send them off, Wan Changgen drank too much, and he didn't dare to use his bicycle to ride Guo Hongxiu, for fear that both of them would fall into the ditch. Guo Hongxiu didn't drink, not because she didn't want to drink, but because her stomach couldn't stand it. She came to ride the bicycle, let Wan Changgen sit in the back, and rode towards the Taiping Temple.
When he arrived at Guo Hongxiu's house, Wan Changgen's wine strength came up, but he felt that the world was spinning and he couldn't go.
It was still the chaise longue, Wan Changgen lay on it and moaned in pain, and it didn't take long for him to vomit again. Liao Sanmei didn't frown, brought grass and wood ash, and cleaned the ground.
"Hongxiu, Hongxiu, everyone is drunk if you don't get drunk, I like you, I love you, don't regret it. Wan Changgen said what was in his heart.
"What are you sorry for, take care of yourself, don't drink too much. Liao Sanmei hugged a quilt and covered Wan Changgen's body, for fear that he would catch a cold.
Guo Hongying and her boyfriend Yan Zheng were also at home, and they shook their heads when they saw Wan Changgen drunk like this.
"Xiuxiu, you are willing to marry this person, and you will be drunk every day in the future, how can you stand it?" Guo Hongying said into Guo Hongxiu's ear.
"Mom can stand it, I can stand it. Guo Hongxiu said expressionlessly.
