1276 To Fan's House
At this moment, there was no one on the road, and the stone just stood there in the middle of the road, watching the carriage go down the hill, and then turned into a small black spot, and then disappeared again.
Shi Shi just looked at it so steadily, a little absent-minded.
Aunt Zhang on the side looked at her son's distraught look, and sighed in her heart, then pulled off Shitou's sleeves, and said softly: "Shitou, don't look at it, don't tire yourself too much during this time, Replenish your energy well, Xiaowan and the others are still going to the capital, I am afraid that your marriage will be finalized before going to the capital, I am afraid that time will be fast. If they are finalized, I will go to see auspicious The date, before Xiaowan and the others enter Beijing, is settled!"
Shitou came back to his senses, kept his head down all the time, didn't look into Aunt Zhang's eyes, and murmured sullenly: "Mother, don't worry, I understand! I'm going down to look at the crops!"
Before Aunt Zhang could answer, Shitou walked down the mountain without looking back.
Aunt Zhang watched Shitou striding down the mountain, feeling mixed feelings in her heart, Shitou is a one-sided child.
Back in the house, seeing Aunt Zhang's uncomfortable face, Uncle Zhang asked what's wrong.
Aunt Zhang sighed, took a sip of water, and said with some regret: "Hey, I really like that child Xiao Wan!"
Uncle Zhang knew what she meant, so he sighed too: "Old lady, today is different, we have to look forward."
Aunt Zhang hummed, but the tears fell down: "For so many years, we have followed Gu Xiaowan and enjoyed the blessings that we have never enjoyed in our entire life. That child is a grateful and conscientious child! Back then, we also It's just saving a ration and giving it to her, that girl has always remembered that."
Uncle Zhang hummed, and there seemed to be regret in his eyes.
"Do you know what that kid said to me?" Aunt Zhang asked suddenly, with a satisfied expression on her face.
Uncle Zhang glanced at her, saw tears in her eyes, and shook his head: "What did the child say?"
"The child said that she would give us the best she can give us!" Just by Aunt Zhang's words, the tears fell like beads on a string, but even though she was crying, the tears between her eyebrows and eyes But with a contented smile.
When Uncle Zhang heard this, he let out a sigh, and was very moved: "That child... is a good boy! It's just that our Zhang family is not so lucky! Sigh..."
"Yesterday I told Shitou that if I had been able to propose marriage before, I can't even think about it now!" Aunt Zhang said sadly: "The child is getting better and better, and he is getting farther and farther away from us." .”
Uncle Zhang hummed: "Yes, the Gu family, it will get better and better in the future, but it's a pity that Gu Lao Er and his wife are gone, and we didn't enjoy such a good life, but we enjoyed it. Hey..."
"Xiaowan asked me to consider whether we should go to the capital, do you think we should go?" Aunt Zhang thought of what Gu Xiaowan asked her to come back to discuss, and looked at Uncle Zhang and asked.
Uncle Zhang thought for a while, then shook his head: "Xiao Wan has good intentions, but we are only dragging her down by following her side! Let's not trouble her anymore."
"I think so too. We don't know anything, we can only cook and chop firewood, and we can't do anything. If she goes to the capital, she will naturally be surrounded by servant girls. Let's go , just to cause trouble for her." Aunt Zhang also thought so, and now that the husband and wife are together, they unanimously agree not to go.
Uncle Zhang's legs and feet are not good, it's inconvenient to go back and forth, and it's just a drag on others.
The carriage soon arrived at the entrance of the village. Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law stretched her neck and looked around at the entrance of the village. When she saw the carriage with the Gu family brand coming all the way, her face showed joy.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the village, Gu Fangxi lifted the curtain, saw Liu Dazhuang's wife, and beckoned her to come up.
After coming up and sitting down, the carriage started to go again.
Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law came up, first greeted Gu Xiaowan, and then sat down after Gu Xiaowan's gesture.
This is the first time for Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law to ride in a carriage. She has only ridden in an ox cart, which is a flat cart pulled by an ox.
After she came in, she felt that the carriage was very comfortable and warm. The cushion on the couch was a cold mat, perhaps there was a thick cushion underneath, and it was even softer and cooler when she sat down.
A small table was placed in the middle of the carriage, and there were some snacks on it.
Ah Mo was not driving the carriage fast, maybe he entered the village, afraid that there would be children rushing out at any time.
Ah Zuo poured a cup of tea and brought it to Liu Dazhuang's wife.
She quickly took it, and saw that what she was holding was a small bowl that didn't even have a palm, and the bowl contained yellow-green soup.
this……
Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law was a little confused, why such a small cup?
What is this for?
Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law pinched the cup in her hand with five fingers, pinching it very hard, for fear that if the carriage stopped, she would drop the small bowl that was too small to hold a mouthful of rice.
She didn't know what was in this thing, and she had never seen anyone use such a small bowl.
Gu Xiaowan saw that Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law was holding the teacup without moving for a while, looking at the thing in her hand with doubts in her eyes, as if she was a little curious about it.
Gu Xiaowan hurriedly poured a cup of tea, raised her hand, and said to her with a smile: "Sister-in-law Liu, this is green tea, you can try it..."
After finishing speaking, Gu Xiaowan brought the small teacup to her mouth and took a sip.
With the demonstration, Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law followed Gu Xiaowan's example, brought the cup in her hand to her mouth, and took a sip as well.
But this is just a sip, this small cup
The child will see the bottom.
The cup bottomed out before the teeth were wet.
However, this tea is really fragrant!
Unlike them, she would go to the market to buy some tea stems and make tea for Liu Dazhuang only during the Chinese New Year.
When drinking, it is always served in a large bowl, and when it cools down, drink it in one gulp, with the aroma of tea, much better than plain boiled water.
Every time at that time, she felt that this was the happiest time of the year.
Now, after drinking such delicious tea, Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law finds it very troublesome.
Seeing that she had finished drinking, Ah Zuo took a small pot with a sharp mouth and poured another cup into the cup. After drinking it again, his lips were just wet again, and it was gone again.
Ah Zuo wanted to pour it, but she refused, hurriedly hid the cup behind her, waved her hand and said, "Miss Ah Zuo, don't pour it, I won't drink it anymore. How troublesome it is to pour it over and over again like this! Don't tire you out."
Gu Xiaowan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law of the Liu family, you are welcome, this is how tea is supposed to be!"
Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "What? Like this? Just drink tea in such a small cup? How troublesome is this? Why don't you use a big bowl? It's convenient and convenient Quench your thirst."
Isn't that just a cow drink? It's like drinking tea!
Ah Zuo was also kneeling at the corner of the low table, and when Liu Dazhuang's wife talked about drinking tea, she covered her mouth and gave a pooh-poohed smile.
Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law knew that she definitely didn't call it drinking tea, only people like Gu Xiaowan called drinking tea.
Look at this posture, this short table, tea bowl, kettle, and small charcoal stove, etc. are all available.
This teacup feels smooth and delicate, I am afraid that it will cost a lot of money to buy it!
Just put these things on the carriage like this, aren't you afraid that others will steal them?
She puts an ordinary bowl for eating at home, and she is worried that others will steal it!
Gu Xiaowan didn't say much, she just pointed to the snacks on the table and greeted affectionately: "Sister-in-law of the Liu family, if you don't want tea, you can have some snacks!"
Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law had exactly this intention. These pastries looked exquisite and must be delicious.
Although there are pastries at home, she is reluctant to eat them, and only after the children have finished eating, she will pour some pastry crumbs left in the paper bag into her mouth to taste the incomparably delicious pastries.
At this moment, there was a plate of exquisite pastries placed in front of her. She drank two bowls of porridge in the morning and almost digested them all. She thanked Gu Xiaowan, and then took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
Just as he was about to eat, he heard Ah Mo's voice from outside: "Sister-in-law of the Liu family, we have arrived here now, please ask how we should go next."
Next, there were some winding paths, and Liu Dazhuang's wife was afraid that Ah Mo would go the wrong way, so she sat down to show Ah Mo the way.
So, I hurriedly stuffed all the pastries into my mouth, but because the pastries would fall apart, the pastries stuck in the throat in an instant, making it impossible to swallow.
Gu Xiaowan saw her wolfing down, knowing that she would definitely choke later, so she hurriedly asked Ah Zuo to pour her a cup of tea, and Liu Dazhuang's daughter-in-law drank several cups before delivering the snack.
After eating, he realized that he was too embarrassed and lost his composure just now, so he quickly thanked Gu Xiaowan and Ah Zuo, then got out of the carriage and went to show Ah Mo the way.
Gu Xiaowan and the other three were left in the carriage.
Gu Xiaowan saw that she was about to arrive, so she stopped drinking tea, pointed to the pastries on the table, and told Ah Zuo: "Put away these pastries when I go back later, and bring them back to Liu's sister-in-law!"
