Dali Langjun’s Ancient Way of Raising a Family - Chapter 72
“Oh, mother, don’t fight, don’t fight, I didn’t mean that.” Qi You hugged his head, and finally caught the opportunity to finish a sentence.
Mu Qi put down her hand suspiciously, “Really?”
“Really, it’s more real than gold.” Qi You nodded as if smashing garlic, so that others could see it, and he couldn’t surprise his eyes.
Qi Mu pursed her mouth, raised her hand to straighten her stray hair, her tone is still not very good, “Okay, then you can explain what you just meant.”
Qi You touched a small stool and sat down, coughing a few times uncomfortably, “Well, I just think Miao’er is still too young.”
In modern times, I’m just at the age of university.
Mu Qi sneered, “You have used this excuse for several years. If you are not tired, I am tired of hearing it.”
Qi You:…………
Mother Qi didn’t bother to talk to him, and went straight into it, “Let’s talk, do you have someone in your heart? I can’t look down on Miao’er.”
“No.” Tiandi conscience, he has been busy in recent years, let alone women, he didn’t even look at a hen.
Qi Mu didn’t believe it.
Qi You was about to spit out old blood, he was no worse than the monk, why don’t you believe him.
Mother Qi changed her mind about not allowing her son, and she had a plan and deliberately defrauded him, “Let’s do this. Although you and Miao’er are unmarried couples, but you haven’t worshipped heaven and earth, everyone on the mountain knows that Miao’er is an unmarried couple. Innocent body.”
Qi You had a bad feeling in his heart.
Mother Qi: “My mother came forward to be a bad person and married Miao’er. You will marry whatever you want to marry in the future. Everyone is happy.”
Happy fart!
Qi You almost didn’t explode, what a bad idea.
“No.” He rebuffed.
Qi Yu’s mother tongue has a long heart, “You’er, you are not too young, and you are in your twenties this year. Others have become fathers at your age.”
Fart, there are a lot of people on the mountain who haven’t married a wife yet.
Mother Qi was angry when he saw his expression, and beat him again. “Just do it. It’s because Miao’er likes you and guards you every day. If you continue to consume it like this, sooner or later you will treat Miao’er. Your heart is gone.”
Mother Qi snorted and drove her son out of the house.
Qi You looked at the closed wooden door in front of him, touched his nose in a jealousy, turned around and walked away.
Suddenly, when he stepped on something under his foot, Qi You moved his foot, bent and picked it up, his face changed slightly.
…………
Recently, Qi You has become busy. He always goes down the mountain frequently into the city, and every time he mysteriously drags back a bunch of things.
And Miao’er, who always liked to follow Qi You in the past, didn’t go forward either. The two obviously lived under the same roof, but they couldn’t get together.
At first no one felt anything. Until one day at the dinner table, Qi You didn’t know what he was talking to Xiaozhuzi, and suddenly he took a piece of ribs and handed it to Miao’er’s mouth. Everyone thought Miao’er would accept it. Surprisingly, Miao’er was faint. Smiled, then refused.
Qi You was stunned, turned a corner naturally, and ate the ribs by himself.
At this time, everyone was really stupid before they noticed the problem.
It’s just that the person concerned didn’t point it out, so outsiders like them are not easy to speak at will.
Miao’er lived every day casually, as if it were no different from before. Everyone who saw him smiled slightly and was approachable.
After turning over the year, everything is rejuvenated, Qi Mu dragged Miao’er out to dig wild vegetables.
“In the past, You’er liked to eat the shepherd’s purse dumplings you wrapped, but now the season is just right, we can dig more.” Qi Mu said happily while holding Miao’er’s hand.
Miao’er answered softly, and said no more.
Mother Qi turned her head to look at her, “Miao’er, you have been dull recently. You can tell me if you have something on your mind.”
Miao’er shook his head, “The days are so good now, I’m full of food and clothing, so I don’t have anything to worry about.”
Mother Qi saw that she didn’t want to say, and didn’t force it anymore.
At the request of Qi You, almost all the mountains were changed to terraced fields, so to dig shepherd’s purse, you had to look carefully. Unknowingly, Qi’s mother and Miao’er went to a leeward slope, where there were a lot of shepherd’s purse. Squat down and dig carefully.
“Hey, you see that another year has passed, but the son hasn’t been moving for a long time.”
“What’s going on? Did the son come up with something to make a living? But the son is really good, and the decisions made over the years are not wrong.”
“In the past few years, there have been a lot of people on the mountain. They came from other places who heard that we had a better life in Meishan. Last time I heard it by accident. I heard that we now have 5,000 people on the mountain.”
“No, it hasn’t happened in the past two years, so many refugees have come to defect. Besides, local people have families, who wants to come to the mountains.”
“My dear sister, you really have been on the mountain for a long time, and you really think that the outside is like a big blessing on the mountain. You don’t know it,” the woman pointed in a direction and lowered her voice. “That’s the place. In the past few years, a lot of people have died. The government hasn’t managed it properly. Now the plague over there is severe, but everyone who has the ability to escape. This house is gone, and the Jincheng people are not like the sons who are living Bodhisattvas. Naturally, shouldn’t you come to join the son? I see, this year the number of people will continue to rise.”
“Ah, come again, can you live on this mountain?”
“Of course I can live. That mountain is so big, there are several hills.”
When Qi Mu and Miao’er heard this on the leeward slope, they looked at each other and smiled helplessly. The two also dug a basket of wild vegetables, just about to get up and leave. A sharp female voice sounded abruptly.
“Who told you this.” The female voice was deeply dissatisfied.
“Then what do you want to say?” someone asked.
“You think, the son is twenty this year, he is rich and powerful, handsome, handsome, why hasn’t he been married yet?”
“Don’t the son have a marriage contract with Miao’er girl.”
“Yes, that’s the case. I heard that it is still a baby, but the son has not married anyone into the house. What does this mean?”
“what?”
“This shows that the son doesn’t want to marry his fiancée at all.”
“Can’t, Miao’er girl is so nice, gentle and kind.”
“Is that girl Miao’er pretty? Is she gorgeous? Is she a big beauty? Is the family powerful? Or is she familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, full of economics?”
“Uh, this…”
“Girl Miao’er is barely able to match ordinary people, let alone a character like the son.”
“Hey, if you say Miao’er is not good enough, you are good enough.”
“I, I certainly don’t deserve it, but I don’t ask for the status of a true wife, and I am willing to be a concubine for the son.”
“whispering sound……”
A group of little girls soon walked away again.
Mother Qi glanced at Miao’er awkwardly, and comforted: “Those girls are talking nonsense, Miao’er don’t take it to your heart. In my heart, you and You’er are a match made in heaven, and no one matches you better. NS.”
Miao’er twitched the corner of her mouth stiffly, and said painfully, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
Mother Qi opened her mouth and wanted to persuade a few more words, but she didn’t know where to start. In the end, I blame my son. A girl as good as Miao’er doesn’t know how to cherish it. He will cry in the future.
Miao’er followed Qi’s mother back home, her expression was as usual during the period, not the slightest strange. But nothing is the biggest difference.
Mother Qi is sad, but his son hasn’t been able to find anyone recently.
In the kitchen, Miao’er cleaned the shepherd’s purse silently and intently, set it aside, and then began to make noodles again.
The man’s face flashed across his head, his eyebrows flying when he was happy, his mouth turned down when he was angry, his nose wrinkled when he was upset, the corners of his eyes drooping when he was lost…
The scenes were as if they were yesterday, all clearly printed in her mind, but after all, they couldn’t match the man’s silence when “You don’t want to marry someone, right”. All the beauty is like the moon in the mirror, and it disappears with a single blow.
That’s right, it was a marriage that was forced, but now that everything went back to the original place, what was so sad about her.
However, there was a blur in front of my eyes, and something fell on the back of his hand. Drop by drop.
She has been tempted not to care about Brother You so much during this period of time. Even if it’s just pretending and deceiving herself, she has worked very hard.
But today, she was still sad when she heard the phrase “unworthy” from others.
Is she pretty? She was originally a peasant girl, taking advantage of her age, at best she was pretty. She still knows herself.
Is she familiar with the scriptures? The words she knows most are taught by Brother You, who barely knows how to keep accounts and manage things, taught by Yingniang’s sister-in-law. She is not smart, even if she works hard to learn, she still can’t be considered the best. .
As for the family? She is an orphan girl with a young brother under her, not to mention helping Brother You, who has troubled Brother You a lot over the years.
The more you think about it, the more sad Miao’er feels. Because everything that had been deliberately ignored in the past had all come out, she only discovered that the difference between her and Brother You was like heaven and earth.
A person as good as Brother You should also be a lady of the boudoir in the future, not a woman like her.
Tears pattered down and entered the noodles. This dumpling seemed to herald the end from the beginning. When the dumplings were cold, Qi You did not come back.
With red eyes, Miao’er ate the cold dumplings left on the table one bite at a time. The weather in the early spring was still cold, Miao’er ate cold food forcibly, and felt slumped again, and fell ill that night.
When Qi You heard the news, he rushed back overnight. When he gasped hard and saw the pale woman with his eyes closed on the bed, his heart shrank suddenly. At that moment, all thoughts were gone, and there was only one thought in his heart. , He was planted.
He sat by the bed and guarded Miao’er all night. The next day, the first light of the day fell on the wooden floor of the room. The woman on the bed moved her eyelids slightly and slowly opened her sleepy eyes. In the eyes is a man’s haggard face, the blackness of his eyes clearly shows that he was not asleep last night.
“you……”
A flower in front of her, with her arms wrapped around her, and a heavy, muffled voice on her shoulders reached her ears.
“Miao’er, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t prepare surprises behind your back. I should tell you plainly, I am pleased with you.”
Miao Er couldn’t tell for a moment whether this was reality or a dream she had imagined. She licked her chapped lips and whispered, “Then you recently?”
“The other day, my mother asked me when I would marry you. I thought you were still young and in no hurry. But when I thought about it, most of you were married at the age of sixteen or seventeen. In such a comparison, we are not young anymore. I am. I just wanted to prepare a surprise for you and plan to propose to you on your eighteenth birthday.”
“What is a proposal?”
Qi You got up and faced her face to face. The two of them were only one fist away, and their breaths were entangled with each other. Qi You’s eyes were deep, “I ask you when I propose to you, would you marry me?”
Miao’er’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she desperately evoked a smile, pretending to be casual: “If I say yes, what shall you do?”
Qi You’s eyes were curved, and there was an invisible joy in his voice, “Naturally, I will marry you home.”
“You are also eighteen years old anyway.” He whispered.
Miao’er: “What?”
Qi You touched her face and coaxed: “It’s nothing, do you want to know what I’m working on recently?”
Miao’er was really drawn away, and Qi You stretched his voice, “Well, I have to start from…”
The gentle and low voice of the man came from the hut, and the small exclamation of the woman from time to time. In this quiet morning, it seemed particularly peaceful and harmonious.
