The peasant boy of crossing

After Li Xinyi returned to Jingning, she deliberately took the time to meet Wu Su.

In fact, it wasn't on purpose, he just wanted to see this person, so he went.

He found out that Wu Su had been studying with his husband at home, so he went to Wu Su's house.

While walking on the road, someone looked at him curiously, and someone greeted him: "I'm back."

Li Xinyi replied with a smile and nodded, as if he was very familiar with them.

When he arrived at Wu Su's house, he hesitated again and wanted to go back.

If you want to meet someone in the countryside, just call out at the entrance of the village, and there are always enthusiastic villagers willing to pass on the message.

So Li Xinyi didn't have any greeting cards or anything like that, he didn't even bring a gift.

This is not considered impolite, the host only has to worry about you having other plans when you are holding a gift.

What's more, everyone in the village doesn't know that Li Xinyi lost her father when she was young, and her family was destitute.

"Are you looking for Asu?"

A strange voice appeared behind Li Xinyi, and he turned his head quickly, only to see a man wearing a royal blue straight gown and a scarf hat, who turned out to be Wu Su's third uncle.

"Ah, uncle." Li Xinyi immediately replied, "I came to look for A Su, I wonder if he is busy."

Since Wu Su's third uncle got out of the bitter sea of ​​scientific research, his life is very nourishing, and there is almost no sense of vicissitudes on his face.Wen Yan said with a smile: "Then I'll ask him to see if he is busy."

As he spoke, he welcomed Li Xinyi into the living room, and went to find Wu Su by himself.

Wu Su came very quickly, obviously surprised and happy to see Li Xinyi.

Since the separation on the Shangyuan Festival, the two have not been together for a long time.

"Xinyi, you're back?" Li Xinyi could feel that Wu Su was really happy just by hearing the voice, not to mention the grinning corners of his mouth.

"I came back two days ago, and I want to see you when I come back." Li Xinyi said very bluntly.

It has just rained, and the air is still humid, which is a rare cool time in mid-June.

The two walked side by side as before, and unknowingly came to the place where Li Xinyi used to herd cattle.

There are many buffaloes tethered by the stream beach, but Grandpa Wu's cattle are not among them.

The lavender reed flowers fluttered gently with the wind, Li Xinyi stretched out her hand and folded a piece of dogtail grass.

When two people only have the past to remember, it means that the relationship between the two people is the same.

He didn't speak, but was looking forward to what Wu Su could say.

"What kind of place is Chuzhou?" Wu Su finally spoke.

Li Xinyi laughed, "It's a little bigger than Jingning. If the carriage is faster, it can be reached in a day."

Wu Su said: "It's also where you are. I always think, when Qiu Wei is off, I will go to you and you treat me to a meal. Thinking about it this way, I am willing to wait and see you in the end." your turn."

Li Xinyi was a little moved when she heard this, but she didn't dare to think about it.He has always known that he is always fantasizing, and it is not good to be sentimental.

So he said: "Since I'm back now, and you want me to treat you to dinner, I'll set up a table of food and drink in a restaurant in the city tomorrow."

Wu Su didn't say yes, nor did he say bad, he was always so vague and vague, as if he had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he was only stingy with one or two words when it came to his lips.

Sometimes, Li Xinyi thinks this kind of ambiguity is very cute, but sometimes, she thinks that pretty face is disgusting.

"I'm a lunatic." At this time, Li Xinyi would think unconsciously.

Li Xinyi didn't know what she wanted to say to Wu Su, it was just two people sitting together, as if they were inseparable when they were young, even though there is a wide gap between the two of them today, they can still be close to each other .

Li Xinyi looked up and saw the blue sky stained with the afterglow of the setting sun. Summer days are always long. She was thinking about a new comic book and how to draw a storyboard.

Wu Su asked him: "When will you draw another picture for me?"

Li Xinyi doesn't like others to ask him for paintings for free, as if painting is an easy task for him, and it's not worth paying for two random strokes.

People always tend to pay for things that are not easy to get. If Li Xinyi said that such a painting is very difficult to paint, it will take a month to complete it.The person who wanted to paint suddenly became overjoyed, as if he had taken advantage of something.

If he is not in a hurry, a month later he will often carry a bag of local products as money for painting.

If the person who wants to paint is in a hurry, he will have to pay a certain amount of money for painting.Correspondingly, Li Xinyi will obediently draw two strokes every day, and frame the painting when it is almost due.

So people know that Li Xinyi paints very slowly.

It's not that easy to make a good-looking painting.

But Wu Su is not someone else. Sometimes he made a painting that he felt satisfied with, and he wanted to give it to Wu Su, but he didn't ask for it, so what is it like to give someone else's painting?

So he was not angry when he heard the words, but just replied, "What kind of painting do you want?"

Wu Su suddenly became dazed, and he couldn't tell what kind of painting he wanted.

Good-looking, familiar, kind, it is a painting that looks very warm.

"Draw me a yellow ox." Wu Su finally remembered what to draw, "It's Grandpa Wu's cattle."

It would be best to draw the boy herding cattle, and another boy sitting in the shade of a tree.

"After that month, you can come to my house to pick up the painting."

Farmers' life is always busy and leisurely.

There's always so much to worry about, and there's only so much to worry about.

The rainy season is finally over, and there will be a three-month summer vacation.

Even so, the farmers are very happy. Jingning has no shortage of water. If the late rice is planted at this time, it can be harvested when the frost comes.

At the same time, weddings and funerals that were delayed due to the rainy season can be restarted on an auspicious day.

Marriage is very important, it means a new family and a new life is coming.And when life is monotonous, it is a rare pleasure to put on a table and have a bridal chamber.

It is of course a bad habit to make trouble in the bridal chamber, and if it goes too far, it may cause a great psychological shadow on the bride and groom.

But just like human nature has a bad side, unless you get the support of the vast majority of forces, depriving others of their bad taste is tantamount to being an enemy of this person or this group.

Li Xinyi had to attend the wedding of a young man in the same village, as if he couldn't stop the desire of those who were eager to make a bridal chamber.

Unexpectedly, and within reason, Wu Su also appeared at the wedding.

They didn't sit at the same table, so they just nodded to each other from a distance.

Li Xinyi thought nervously again, if he can also put on such a wedding banquet when he gets married, then it doesn't matter if he is thrown out of the bridal chamber.Then I thought again, if two men get married, will it be embarrassing if they quarrel, and will they quarrel with the wrong person?

After all, Wu Su has grown taller again and looks thinner.

After toasting with the bridegroom, Li Xinyi stayed behind to accompany the ceremony. When everyone got up to make a new house, Li Xinyi followed, but turned around and left.

When he left, he glanced at Wu Su. He was drinking and chatting with the people at the same table. He didn't know what he was talking about, but he was so excited.

For this wedding banquet, the husband's family considered it a big deal, and the water table was set up for three days.

Wu Su's father seemed to have been stimulated, and wanted to use Wu Su to get married and set up a five-day feast.

Since cooperating with Mr. Wei, Father Wu has indeed made a lot of money.In less than two years, the tea road from Zhejiang and Fujian to Guangdong and Guangxi has been completely opened up. In the next five-year plan, Wu's father would like to propose to expand the tea road to the southwest region.

Night travel in brocade clothes is not Wu's father's style. Marry a daughter from an innocent family, and then put on a banquet for five days, and then you will lose your face.

Wu's father and Mrs. Wu revealed a little bit of their desire to say goodbye to Wu Su. After all, Wu Su is 16 years old, and the crowning ceremony will be held in two years. It is not too early to say goodbye.

Mrs. Wu thought for a while, and asked Father Wu, "Did you ask Su'er what he meant?"

Wu's father never thought of asking his son what he meant when he told his son about his marriage, but after all, his son is the treasure of Mrs. Wu, and he dared not disobey his mother, so he said: "Su'er is still young after all, I am like him. Generally, when you are older, you don’t have the intention of marrying a daughter-in-law. You just ask your mother first, and if your mother agrees, I will ask Su’er myself.”

The old lady Wu nodded, and said: "When you married Su'er's mother, I also asked what you meant. This marriage is a major event in a lifetime, so you must ask Su'er first. Otherwise, Su'er doesn't like it, so marry over here. It also harmed the young couple, making the house restless."

Father Wu had no choice but to ask someone to call Wu Su. He felt that his authority as a father had been challenged, and he was a little unhappy for a while, and he didn't look good when he saw Wu Su.

When Wu Su came in, he saw his father sitting in an armchair with a serious face.Seeing Mrs. Wu on the other side, I knew that today was not as simple as a daily lecture.

So after saluting and saying hello to the two elders, he stood quietly in one place with his hands down, expressing that he was ready to listen to the elders' teachings.

Wu's father was satisfied on the surface, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.

When Mrs. Wu saw her grandson coming, she beckoned him to sit down, so Wu Su picked the chair closest to Mrs. Wu on the east side and sat down.

Seeing old lady Wu's loving face, she asked caringly, "Su'er, have you ever thought about what kind of girl you want to marry in the future?"

Wu Su didn't expect his grandmother to ask such a question, so he was at a loss.

He has never thought much about girls, and naturally he has never thought about what kind of girl he will marry in the future.

He subconsciously wanted to answer: "Everything is up to grandma and mother."

But seeing his father sitting on the other side, he changed his mind.

In fact, he wants to know what kind of girl Li Xinyi likes, if possible, marry a...

Li Xinyi's favorite girl?

Old lady Wu waited patiently for her grandson's answer, watching Wu Su's face turn from confusion to clarity.I thought I would be able to get the answer, but I didn't expect that an accident appeared on that usually calm and calm face, followed by an expression that seemed to be about to collapse.

Old Madam Wu hooked the corners of her mouth unconsciously.

Sure enough, I have to ask, no, I asked it out as soon as I asked.
