Crossing the Four Seasons Pastoral

Zhang Hong'er couldn't have been more proud of paying attention to the movement in the village for two days in a row.In the past, Li Jinyuan often disliked Ye Xiaoan's uselessness in front of him, but the few things Ye Xiaoan did recently caused him to scratch his heart and lungs.Thinking of Ye Xiaoan's reputation that would soon stink if she continued, Zhang Hong'er was so relieved that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

"What's so happy?" Zhao Wanhao came to bed reeking of alcohol, and asked in a rough voice when Zhang Honger was still giggling.

"It's none of your business, take care of your eyeballs, and don't run to a mountain in the middle of the night!" Zhang Hong'er smiled and said angrily.Although his own appearance is not good, he doesn't think much of Zhao Wanhao either.Older than him, alcoholic and unclean.But as Li Jinyuan said, at least he can take care of the cash drawer at home, and he has been submissive to him since the incident happened, and there are people doing the work in the field, so he reluctantly joins a partner to live.

Zhao Wanhao felt drowsy from the smell of alcohol, so he just groaned and said, "I just took a look, when you talked to Er Manzi, half of your body didn't know where to lean, when no one in the village laughed at you Woolen cloth?"

Zhang Hong'er was so angry that he kicked him, rolled the quilt to the side and fell asleep alone.Zhao Wanhao breathed out and ignored him.

The next day, Ye Xiaoan rubbed his black eyes and went to do the laundry.It's not enough to have a whole day about the marriage proposal, and the dream is full of red scenes.For a while, he led a person who couldn't see his face to come out in front of his uncle in modern times, and for a while, the person wearing Ye Xiaoan's shell was shy and timid in a red wedding dress, and the name Zhou Nan was more like a magic spell.

He yawned and walked down the path.One-third of the households in the village do their laundry in the well in the east of the pond, because this ancient well is next to a pond, and I don’t know when the water in the pond has connected with the well water, and it can no longer be eaten. It was gradually occupied by laundry people.

Usually there are not many people on the road at this time, Ye Xiaoan came earlier because he wanted to be quiet, to avoid getting together with other people.But today was obviously not normal, as soon as he turned into the path leading to the well, he saw a dozen or so people gathered in front of him, chatting very lively.

"Er Laizi? Did he really sleep with Er Laizi? Does he think Zhao Wanhao is inferior to Er Laizi?"

"Who knows, everyone says that the ones at home are not as good as the ones outside, but I didn't expect him to be so bold! I used to twist Zhao Wanhao's ears and say that his eyes were dishonest, but this time I was caught on the bed. The husband and wife It’s all put together.”

"Isn't Er Manhao going to die of joy? I just picked up a brother for nothing, but I don't know if Zhao Wanhao can let him go..."

"Didn't you see that Zhao Wanhao's face was blue when he came over? Zhang Hong'er could be eaten by those eyes. I don't think the two of them can get a bargain in Zhao Wanhao's hands. If they get angry, they might be sent to the government .”

One side of this path is a pond, and the other side is someone's house. The road is not wide, and they block it when they surround each other.Ye Xiaoan listened to it for a while, and then remembered who Er Lingzi, Zhao Wanhao, and Zhang Hong'er they were talking about.

This matter sounds to the effect that Zhang Hong'er is dishonest and flirts with Er Manzi on weekdays.Occasionally someone can't stand it and say that he still doesn't admit it, and the whole family can be scolded by spit.As a result, it was here this morning, at Er Manzi's house, that Er Manzi's father caught him.

As for Zhang Honger, the man at home at night, how dare he do this?It is said that Zhao Wanhao drank some wine last night, and he didn't think he would wake up in the middle of the night.Unexpectedly, Er Manzi's father pushed his son's door before dawn and saw them sleeping together.

Ye Xiaoan remembered that he met Zhang Honger when he was looking for Master Huang that day, he and Ye Hefeng made up their own affairs and refused to admit it, and felt a little refreshed.

"That day my kid came back and asked me what stealing a man is, but I was scared to death. I asked him where he heard it, and then I realized that Zhang Honger taught him! Listen, do you dare to let the child talk to him? ?”

"That's right, you don't have a serious word when you talk to Er Manzi on weekdays!"

Everyone's discussion quickly shifted to Zhang Hong'er's usual behavior, as if he only saw his true nature clearly at this time, and they all warned each other not to let the children in the family learn bad things from him.

"Ah, brother An is going to do laundry so early?" Two quarters of an hour later, a group of people finally had no fresh topics to discuss and were ready to change the battlefield. Only then did someone find Ye Xiaoan who had been standing beside him for an unknown amount of time.

"Morning, good morning." Ye Xiaoan nodded with a smile. Anyone in the village who is older than him can call him Uncle or Uncle, and at most add the other person's name.This way of addressing people can save people a lot of trouble, and it is easy to get confused when they can't remember people.

"Brother An is diligent enough, the water in the well is still cold!" The man stopped talking and left without rushing, and stood beside him and said a few words to him.

"I just want to be cool now!" The sun will shine here after Sishi, not only will the water heat up, but the well will not be able to stand without shelter for a long time.

The other party nodded knowingly, who was not afraid of the heat or the cold when they were young, and it will be different after giving birth.He looked at Ye Xiaoan's thin body, and couldn't help but said again: "It's a pity that you came late, and didn't see Zhang Hong'er being dragged away in such a mess! He didn't miss you a lot, and now it's all on him. "

Once the person spreading the rumors is in danger, everything he said in the past will be tainted by others.

The two of them didn't have much clothes, and after Ye Xiaoan finished washing, he carried the wooden barrel and hummed an out-of-tune song and left.The road was quiet again, but he knew that the matter of Zhang Hong'er would be the hottest topic of conversation in the village for at least three to five months.

The second elder brother's family has cleaned up their "fertilizer" long ago, and now they have set up two wooden racks to dry clothes in front of the old house.Ye Xiaoan threw up his clothes, and was about to leave happily with an empty bucket, when the people beside him saw that he hadn't noticed him from the beginning to the end, so they had no choice but to shout: "Xiao'an!"

Zhou Nan finally knew that it would be inconvenient to move around if his clothes were too eye-catching. Today he was wearing a ochre-colored bunt, standing under the eaves and looking at him with shining eyes.

Ye Xiaoan's mood that he had finally adjusted was spoiled by him again, he looked around to see that there were no outsiders around, and then beckoned him to come over.

Zhou Nan was also a little surprised, he felt that Ye Xiaoan was more unexpected than anyone he had met before.The brothers he had met before would be awkward when they saw each other after they said they were kissing each other. He had never been so frank.

Carrying the barrel in three steps and walking back to the house in two steps, Ye Xiaoan waited for him to come in before closing the door.

He wanted to ask Zhou Nan why he asked his family to propose marriage, but suddenly he felt that it was not appropriate to ask such a question, so he thought about his choice of words: "Have you met me before, that is, before I met you in the town?"

In his eyes, Zhou Nan was a sunny boy, and it was really eye-catching for such a person to appear in the village.But all their exchanges were only two meetings, he really couldn't figure out how the other party would rashly come to propose marriage.So he inevitably thought, maybe Zhou Nan had seen Ye Xiaoan before?

"Why do you ask that?" Zhou Nan is a good businessman, and he is usually very sensitive to the things around him, but he ignored Ye Xiaoan when he saw Ye Xiaoan just now.Hearing his question, he felt that the other party was not happy, and there was depression in his words.

"I wonder if there is a misunderstanding between us." Ye Xiaoan's tone was as gentle as possible, worried that he would feel that he would hurt his self-esteem by expressing the divorce: "Speaking carefully, I am not a suitable partner, I don't like to take care of housework , and I don’t want to rely on others to live my life. I don’t like others to restrain me in everything, not to mention that I have an older brother to take care of..."

Zhou Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he finished speaking, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you don't have to be attached to me, and you don't have to worry about family affairs. I won't restrain you from doing your own thing, as long as you don't break the law and discipline."

He retorted one by one, thinking of the people Chen Xidi asked him to consider in the past, none of them made him feel as comfortable as seeing Ye Xiaoan.The nature of the businessman made him unable to help but settle down after meeting him a few times. Although he followed his instinct, it seemed to be the most in line with his heart now.

"How can you bear that you marry such a person?" Ye Xiaoan couldn't help doubting.Many people spend less money than buying a cow to marry a brother, but they are not polite, and some even beat and scold them.

"I am willing to propose marriage, why would I make it difficult for you?" Zhou Nan thought he was afraid, and said again: "Don't worry, we can live in separate rooms after we get married." He also wanted to say, you counted so many by yourself Disadvantages, besides me, who else dares to accept?We are a match made in heaven.But because Ye Xiaoan was afraid of being thin-skinned, he didn't say anything in the end.

"But I never thought about getting married!" Ye Xiaoan couldn't help but said so much, seeing that it didn't work.Why is Zhou Nan's thinking so different from other people in the village?If the brothers from other families say that they can't work without entering the house, they will probably be divorced.Seeing Zhou Nan's surprised face, he realized that this statement is too shocking to the world here, and made up with a fake cough: "I still have to stay at home to take care of my brother."

Zhou Nan was surprised not because of his words, but because their thoughts were so consistent: "I have never wanted to get married before, but every time I go home, my father always finds a lot of people to urge me. How long can you last as a little brother? Your brother is going to get married in the future, so what's the point of you being in the middle? I'll treat you well and won't care about what you're going to do. You'll still be free after getting married. "

He racked his brains and couldn't say anything sweet, so he could only try to coax Ye Xiaoan's words.No matter what he did, he always went smoothly, and he never expected to hear rejection before he came here.I can't help but regret that I was too careless when I was with those friends before, otherwise I could learn a few words.

Ye Xiaoan felt that he was about to be persuaded.If he doesn't get married, he himself knows that it will cause gossip, unless he goes all out to leave here.When it comes to getting married, I am really not the kind to be diligent and swallow my breath, and if there is friction, I will inevitably be pointed at.But now Zhou Nan said such a tempting condition - marrying him, relatively free and unconstrained, no need for him to make a gesture of attachment.Maybe this marriage is not as bad as he thought?
