Chapter 66 Apologize
Chapter 66 Apologize
The person who came was Qi Junwen, a villager in this village. There was a widowed old mother in his family. He loved reading since he was a child. At that time, he was enlightening children in the ethnology school and earning some money.
Sui Yunchang and him hit it off right away, knowing that he was preparing for the government exam, so he wanted to mention a few words.
After coming and going, Qi Junwen started calling Master Sui Yunchang, and the two families communicated more. Knowing that Sui Shi was not very good at cooking, Qi's mother brought them some meals every now and then.
Sui Yunchang thought about it a little bit, this Qi Junwen is sincere, his character and appearance are passable, I heard from him that he has no intention of being an official, and after the government has tried it, he will go back to the village and continue to enlighten the children in the village. He is a down-to-earth person, if he can betroth Yu'er to him, it will be considered a beautiful thing.
just now...
"I won't bother you if there are guests at home. Let me take my leave first." Qi Junwen handed the steamed cake to Sui Shi's hand, saluted Sui Yunchang, and then left with fluttering clothes.
From Lin Muqing's point of view, this person is like a Piao, who floats here and there, which is very annoying.
After the meal, Lin Muqing took over the job of washing the dishes again. After all, Sui Shi couldn't stand it anymore, so he declined and said that he would do the washing by himself.
"Sister, no need, I'm used to doing these things, you may not wash as clean as I can."
Sui Shi: A person like you can actually marry a husband, and you are still our little Yuer, what virtue and ability are you!
After collecting all the things, Lin Muqing went to the well to fill up the water, and then easily moved the water tank into the house. The stove was also cleaned up and placed in the house.
Sui Shi made another plank bed in the house. In the bedroom inside, Suijing and Sui Yunchang slept together, and she slept on the plank bed with Tu Yu. The newly made another bed was for Suiyu.
It's just that she saw that Lin Muqing was in trouble again, there was really no room for another bed in this small room.
Lin Muqing felt sad looking at the simple wooden bed. There was only a thin layer of blanket on it. It could be seen that it was new, but it was as thin as sleeping on a hard plank.
Lin Muqing turned around and went out, took out the carriage mattress from their carriage, and spread it on Suiyu: "Go to bed earlier, I will sleep in the carriage."
He still wanted to kiss Suiyu's forehead, but when he saw the warning eyes of Tu Yu and Suijing, he could only touch Suiyu's hair, and then went out, leaving time for their family, thinking, Tonight is a sleepless night.
They were lying on the bed, listening to Suiyu's talk about what happened after he left home, and they heard it in the middle of the night.
Lin Muqing was lying in the carriage, thinking about how he should live in the future, he still did not give up the idea of bringing Suiyu's family back to Yunbei, this family is really too broken.
He also planned to take Suiyu to the town tomorrow to buy some more things for the family.
The night in Nianzhou is very short, Lin Muqing felt that he just closed his eyes for a while, and the sky was already bright, he immediately turned over, changed his clothes hastily, stood in the yard and punched, but there was no sound in the room. No, I guess it was because I talked too late last night, so I couldn't wake up this morning.
He went to fill up the half-used water tank yesterday, started the stove, and burned the hot water, but the stove only had one hole, and after boiling the water, he couldn’t do anything else. Remembering that there was yellow mud in the place where the water was fetched yesterday, he Find another barrel and go to the well.
When Sui Shi got up to prepare the morning meal, she saw the smoke rising from outside the house. She walked out the door lightly, and saw that the hot water had been boiled, and there was a pile of yellow mud next to it. It was a simple stove, and the pot on the stove did not know where it came from, and it was cooking porridge right now.
That cheap husband of Yu'er, who is currently picking vegetables in the vegetable field on one side, waved to her when he saw her get up, a handful of green vegetables dangling above his head, he is simply a fool.
Sui Shi wanted to help him, but after walking around, she didn't find that he needed help, so she simply sat by the door, feeling too complicated in her heart.After hearing the things about Yu'er all night last night, she was distressed and afraid at the same time. She couldn't imagine that if they hadn't met Lin Muqing, they wouldn't be able to see him now.
But it's one thing to save a life, but it's another thing to promise it with your body.The whole family is very grateful for his life-saving grace to Yu'er, and thinking of his attitude towards him last night was a bit unkind, their faces are a little hot.
Lin Muqing came back after picking vegetables, saw Sui Shi and said, "I've boiled hot water, sister, let's wash up first."
Sui Shi had no choice but to wash up first, and then took a look at the sky. It was time for Sui Jing to decoct the medicine. She found the box containing the medicine very lightly, and saw that the herbs inside had bottomed out.
Holding the pot of decocting medicine, Sui Shi had a difficult time by the stove.
Lin Muqing understood, climbed into the carriage again, and handed over all the herbs they brought back to Suishi: "This is what Yuerang brought. We don't have many other herbs at our place, and the herbs are enough."
Holding the medicinal herbs, Sui Shi recalled what Sui Yu said last night. In fact, the things sent over during the Chinese New Year were also sent by Lin Muqing, and he thanked him a little more: "Thank you very much, last night, It's our fault that both father and elder brother have neglected you."
Sui Shi sighed again: "The main reason is that we didn't expect that Yu'er married someone as soon as she went out, and it was a bit difficult to accept for a while. So I couldn't put one size at a time. We can do whatever you want for your kindness to us." I will repay you, but the only thing I can't do is give Yu'er to you."
Sui Shi and Sui Jing are a pair of twins, their age is actually not much different from Lin Muyin.
But she is what a real older sister should look like, gentle and grand, with soft brows and eyes, and every line is full of protection for Suiyu.
Lin Muqing didn't care, his family's reaction seemed reasonable to him, and even felt a little mild. In his imagination, the family should use a broom to blow him out.
Rather than keeping him for a meal, allowing him to live very close to Suiyu is already very good.
He originally wanted to help decoct the medicine, but because he really didn't understand, he had to give up.
Suiyu didn't sleep well all night, always worried that she would fall into the bed if she turned over a little bit, she slept very stiffly all night, and her face was smelly when she got up.Tu Yu finally returned home because of his long journey, and was sleeping soundly at the moment, his brother and father hadn't gotten up yet, and his sister's bed seemed to be piled up in a pile, so she probably hadn't gotten up either.
Suiyu put on her shoes, opened the door angrily, and saw Lin Muqing bent over to dig the ground with a hoe, and with one movement, Suiyu jumped onto his back and hugged his neck tightly, as if trying to kill someone. strangle.
But the voice was still soft and soft: "What's for breakfast?"
Lin Muqing could work neatly with him behind his back, but he just patted his leg to make him tighten it a bit: "Millet porridge."
"I want to eat pickles."
"I'll take you to the market after dinner, let's buy a jar of pickles and I'll make it for you."
"That will take a long time, why didn't we bring the pickle jar with us at that time."
Lin Muqing smiled, put Suiyu down, and pointed to Sui Shi who was decocting medicine but was completely ignored: "Sister is over there, you go wash up first."
Sui Shipi smiled but didn't smile, he just wanted to poke his own eyes blind.
"Sister, good morning."
After a while, the whole family woke up. Breakfast was a pot of millet porridge and a plate of stir-fried green leafy vegetables. Suiyu felt unaccustomed to the lack of pickled vegetables.
Looking at the neatly tidied yard, the full water tank, and the newly made yellow clay stove standing side by side with their stove, Sui Yunchang still couldn't say the harsh words and could only drink the porridge in silence.
"I'm going to the bazaar today. I need to buy some things at home. I'll go to the labor market to see if there are any people who can afford a house. I'll build two more houses. Otherwise, I really can't live in them." Tu Yu drank in one breath. After finishing the porridge, he returned to be the person in charge at home, "I'll come with you." Suiyu was eager to try, "I also have something I want to buy."
Sui Shi handed over the family's money box to Tu Yu's hand: "You have been away for almost five months. When you left, there was a total of 30 taels of silver left in the house. Now there are 15 taels. I will give it to you."
"Why are there so many left!" Tu Yu was impatient again, "I told you that you don't need to save money, why bother you so much."
"It's going to be hard anywhere." Sui Yunchang smiled, "Isn't it because I want to save more money and make a dowry for Yu'er..."
The table suddenly became quiet, only to hear Lin Muqing say: "Yu'er doesn't need a dowry to marry me, all my things belong to him, so there is no need for you to buy him a dowry."
Sui Yunchang was speechless, he had been ignoring this person since last night.
But he is tall and big, and it is difficult to pretend to be invisible. He still has no way to accept his delicate brother to marry such a hulking, illiterate person.
Just finished eating, this time Lin Muqing didn't ask Lin Muqing to wash the dishes, Tu Yu did the work very cleanly.Lin Muqing originally wanted to go shopping with Tu Yu, but was stopped by Sui Jing when he was about to get on the horse, and he said in a deep voice, "Let Yu'er go, you stay."
Lin Muqing naturally listened to what his uncle said, but when he was going out, Sui Shi found a scarf and wrapped it around Suiyu's head, explaining while wrapping it up: "There is some chaos in the market, so cover your face."
Suiyu took it for granted, and after glancing at Lin Muqing, he wanted to climb into the carriage, but Lin Muqing took his hand, handed him the purse in his arms, and said softly in front of him, "Don't let Brother Yu spend money."
Now only Sui Jing, Sui Yunchang and Lin Muqing are left in the family.
"We do not agree to this marriage." Suijing said.
The author says:
Lin Muqing: To be honest, I have heard these words once.
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
