28. Sweetheart

Before walking into the courtyard, Jiang Wan said: "I asked Xiao Er to invite Dr. Qian to come over and have a look, and Dr. Qian prescribed medicine, saying that my aunt and Mr. Pei are fine." When I checked before, Aunt Chunying fell asleep, but Mr. Pei didn't know what happened, and he also fell asleep after Yulian fed him medicine. ”

Xu Fenggu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, the implication in Jiang Wan's words was that she took care of Mr. Pei's mother, but Mr. Pei handed it over to Yulian, who handled things properly and knew how to measure herself, which really made her mother worry-free.

"Then why don't we go in and disturb them?" Liu Caiyun said, "Come back later." ”

"It's fine." Xu Fenggu said, "Let's come over and ask them to get up and eat after dinner." Wanwan, what did they eat for lunch? ”

Jiang Wan said: "I cooked minced pork porridge. ”

Liu Caiyun praised: "When they are sick and injured, they should eat something light and restrained." She thought, Wanwan, this girl is really more thoughtful, there are no adults at home, and she can arrange things without hurrying, which is really rare. It should have been a good daughter-in-law for each family to marry, but it's a pity...... Her mind was not revealed, so as not to make Wanwanniang sad.

Listening to Liu Caiyun praising her daughter, Xu Fenggu also said with joy on her face: "Wanwan did a good job." Then let's go home first, and discuss some things later. ”

The group left Pei You's house again and walked straight to Jiang Wan's house.

Jiang Gu was holding the rice paper copied by Jiang Wan in his yard and reading the words written on the paper, reciting, seeing that his father and mother were back, he ran over with a cheer and said happily: "Dad, mother, did you sell a lot of copper coins today?" ”

Jiang Funian said: "It's a man, be steady." ”

Jiang Gu stuck out his tongue, the joy on his face decreased slightly, and he asked persistently, "How much did you sell?" ”

Jiang Wan took Jiang Gu's arm and led him into the house: "Daddy, they just came back, and you don't know if you let them sit down and rest, don't block the way, let's go in and talk about it." ”

Jiang Gu felt justified when he heard this, so he obediently entered the house.

The four people who went to the county seat each sat in the hall, and Jiang Wan diligently served tea and poured water: "You have all worked hard, drink some water and rest for a while." ”

Xu Fenggu let Jiang Wan pour good water, and said with a smile: "Wanwan, you also sit." ”

Jiang Wan pulled Jiang Gu to sit aside.

Xu Fenggu took out the money bag and poured out the copper coins inside, and the sound of the crash made everyone present excited.

"This business has indeed been done, all the ones we have done today have been sold, and there are many people who have tasted one or two to come back and buy them, and we have told people to go back the day after tomorrow." Xu Fenggu smiled, her face suddenly dyed with sorrow, "It's just that now that something has happened to Mr. Pei's family, we can't care about it, I'm afraid we won't be able to go the day after tomorrow...... Alas. ”

It's rare to make a living, and no one wants to give up, no one has too much money.

Jiang Wan deliberately showed displeasure: "But mother, this business taboo has no day for a day, and wild vegetables are still there for this time, and when it gets colder, even if we want to do it, there will be no vegetables, and if we do it for a day, there will be one less day, how can it be delayed?" She frowned, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Mother, I don't think there are so many people to take care of Aunt Chunying, today I take Yulian and Xiaoer, and Huihui can also take care of them." Why don't you continue to sell pastries like today, and I'll take a look over there. ”

"How's that going to work? You are a girl's house, how can you take care of it...... Big man? Xu Fenggu didn't agree much.

Jiang Wan said unhappily: "I don't want to either, but I think our small business is still important." And Aunt Chunying's family still has Yulian, her brother will be taken care of by her, I am too lazy to care, I have me to cook, there is Xiaoer to fetch water, Mr. Pei is not so sick that he can't get out of bed, Yulian can take care of it. ”

Xu Fenggu felt that Jiang Wan was reasonable, and she was reluctant to stop the business after a day, the wild vegetables in the mountains should be almost gone after Chongyang, even if they are, they are not delicious when they are old, and it is only about ten or twenty days of work, not to mention that it costs money to change other dishes, and the taste is not as good as wild vegetables, and it is estimated that it is not easy to sell. But in the end, she still felt a little inappropriate and distressed to let her eldest girl take care of other people's patients, so she hesitated and refused to let go.

Jiang Wan decided to find an ally, so she looked at her father and said, "Dad, help me persuade my mother, I don't want to continue to do such a good business, I'm really anxious!" ”

Liu Caiyun said with a smile: "Wanwan, your mother is also afraid that you will be wronged." ”

Jiang Wan said proudly: "What grievances can I suffer?" The Pei family is sick and injured, if I am wronged, I will immediately put the burden on and quit, can they still beat me? It is they who suffer the hardships. ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh when they saw her villain's smug appearance.

Jiang Gu said in solidarity: "Yes! If they dare to show their faces to my sister, my sister and I will leave! Not only do we have to leave, but we also have to pull Sister Yulian over to see what they do! ”

Xu Fenggu scolded with a smile: "You kid! ”

Jiang Wan said again: "As for the rest...... Mother, anyway, I don't care what others say now, and even if I care, my mouth grows on others, and I can't help them. Just don't come up to us and let them go. ”

Jiang Wan knew that Xu Fenggu still cared about her reputation, although from her own point of view, Kefu's reputation was in front of her, and she didn't have to worry about the rest, but Xu Fenggu felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't bear to be hurt by more rumors.

Knowing that her daughter is really much stronger now, Xu Fenggu sighed in her heart.

Jiang Funian said: "Mother, just be gentle." ”

"Mother, you see that my father said so, so you agreed. You have to make more money, so that you can buy me new clothes for the Chinese New Year. Jiang Wan said with a smile, "Besides, our family and Mr. Pei's house are far away from other people in the village, and I don't see anyone coming to visit the door on weekdays, so even if they come, they are not afraid." ”

Liu Caiyun is not easy to say, but if the Jiang family decides, she will naturally not say anything, and when the time comes, she will also tell her daughter to contribute more.

Xu Fenggu thought for a long time before finally relenting: "Okay, it's decided." Wanwan, if you are wronged, you have to tell your mother. ”

"I know mother, I'm spoiled by you!" Jiang Wanxiao pulled Xu Fenggu's arm and shook it gently.

Xu Fenggu said: "Mother is just your daughter, who are you used to?" And my daughter is so capable and sensible, who dares to say that I spoil you? ”

Liu Caiyun smiled and continued: "It's not! ”

After the family agreed on Pei You's family, they began to continue to talk about small business. Xu Fenggu counted out a hundred wen to Liu Caiyun as the salary for this time, Liu Caiyun hurriedly shirked it, only saying that she didn't pay or take risks, so she just made some effort, where can she use so much salary? She knew that this time they would only earn 300 yuan.

Xu Fenggu refused, and insisted on giving Liu Caiyun a hundred texts. She has always been kind, and she also knows that Liu Caiyun is saving money for her son to marry a daughter-in-law, and now that she has a family background, she has the intention of taking care of her. When she got married, Liu Caiyun hadn't married to Shanxia Village, and it stands to reason that the two would not have much contact, but after she came back, the people in the village treated her a lot coldly, only Liu Caiyun took care of her a lot, and now it's time to repay the other party's favor.

The two shirked there for a while, and finally Liu Caiyun accepted eighty wen and refused to ask for it again.

Because of the money made this time, Xu Fenggu bought twice as many ingredients as soon as she was happy. The next thing is to hurry up and go to the mountain to dig wild vegetables, Jiang Wan volunteered to stay and make dinner, and took care of the two next door by the way, and the rest of the people went to the mountain to dig wild vegetables.

With her father's approval, Jiang Wan was in a very good mood, and when she returned to Pei You's door, she happened to see the two little girls who had gotten up and were standing in the yard.

"Sister Wan!" Pei Yulian and Xu Hui both called her affectionately.

Jiang Wan responded and said with a smile: "You guys? Huihui, your mother and brother are back, and you will be digging wild vegetables in the mountains with my mother at this time. ”

Xu Hui's eyes lit up, and she turned her head and asked Pei Yulian: "Yulian, do you want to dig wild vegetables together?" ”

Pei Yulian remembered something, and her eyes lit up and said, "Is it digging the wild vegetables in the wild vegetable fresh meat cake I ate yesterday?" ”

Xu Hui didn't know the reason for this, so Jiang Wan said, "Yes, it's that kind of wild vegetable." Go if you want, I'm here, be careful, don't fall. ”

Pei Yulian and Xu Hui nodded again and again, Pei Yulian took a backpack from home, and the two walked happily hand in hand.

Jiang Wan sighed at the friendship between the girls, and sat alone at the door of Pei You's house to play as a female worker.

Jiang Wan was doing female work to kill time, and after a while, she heard footsteps gradually approaching, because she was sitting under the plane tree, the other party did not notice her, until she was about to walk to the door of Pei You's yard, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Wan who was holding a needle and thread and looking at her lightly.

The person who came suddenly widened his eyes and took a step back, clutching his chest and being frightened!

It's the big fortune girl.

Jiang Wan looked at her with a smile: "Auntie, what are you doing?" Aunt Chunying fell and was injured, and she was asleep at this time, so I think it's better not to disturb her. ”

"You, why are you here?" Dafu Niang asked tremblingly while stroking her chest to calm down the rapid heartbeat.

"This is not your house, what does it matter to you where I am?" Jiang Wan didn't say anything polite to her.

Dafu Niang's face changed, but she remembered what happened last time, and she didn't dare to say anything, but said: "Since Chunying is asleep, I won't disturb her." ”

As she spoke, she turned around to leave, and Jiang Wan spoke: "If there are strange rumors in the village, I will definitely count it on my aunt." ”

"What did you say?" Dafu Niang turned her head suddenly, she saw Jiang Wan sitting at the door of Mr. Pei's house, and she was clear about his mother's affairs, and her mind had always been active, and she immediately had a lot of guesses in her mind, and she might really go back to share it with others, but when Jiang Wan said this, she was like a basin of cold water poured on her head, and the little gossip that just came out was instantly extinguished. The last time really scared her out of her guts, and she didn't want to suffer again.

"I think my aunt knows what I mean." Jiang Wan said with a smile.

Dafu Niang swallowed her saliva, thinking that this girl was really a scourge, but she smiled dryly: "Auntie knows, of course she knows." My aunt still has something to do at home, so let's go first! ”

She hurried away.

may be thinking about the two people in the family, Pei Yulian came back after a while, and Xu Hui also accompanied her. Jiang Wan handed over the care of the two to them and went home to cook by herself. Before going to dig wild vegetables, Xu Fenggu said that she wanted to leave Liu Caiyun's family to eat, so in this way, Jiang Wan had to cook for ten people, and the burden was really unclear.

After being busy for a long time, she made six dishes and one soup, and there were few types of dishes, but some of them were bought by Xu Fenggu from the county seat today, and some of them were picked from her own field, all of them were fresh and the portions were very large. After a while, the sky was getting dark, and the people digging wild vegetables returned with a full load.

Jiang Wan wanted to go to Pei You's house to deliver food again, but Xu Fenggu thought that she didn't need her own girl to go here, so she let the others eat first, and she took the food packed for Pei You and his mother over first.

Xu Hui was called over by Xu Fenggu to eat, Pei Yulian still wanted to stay at home and wait for her brother and mother to finish eating before coming over to eat, but Xu Fenggu was not reluctant. She asked Pei Yulian to bring the food for Pei You, and she went to Xu Chunying's room.

Xu Chunying had already woken up, and as soon as Xu Fenggu walked into the room, she said, "Sister Chunying, it's me, Aunt Feng." ”

"Aunt Feng, are you here?" Xu Chunying struggled to remember, but was held down by Xu Fenggu, so she also lay back and said in a low voice, "Today is really ...... I'm sorry for your girl. ”

"It's okay, our neighbors should help each other." Xu Fenggu smiled, "Do you want to be relieved?" We've been neighbors for so many years, don't be ashamed. ”

Xu Chunying was silent for a few seconds and said, "Then I'll bother you." ”

After solving the personal problem, Xu Fenggu put Xu Chunying back on the bed and half-sat and fed her.

Xu Chunying didn't squirm, and quickly finished her meal and said, "Thank you, sister." Your family is gentle...... She's a good girl. ”

Although Xu Fenggu was still worried about what Xu Chunying said at the beginning that hurt her and Wanwan's hearts, but now that she saw that Xu Chunying was injured and praised her daughter, she was soft-hearted, so she smiled and said: "My family Wanwan has nothing to say." She said that she would often come over to help one or two in the future, after all, your orphans and widows can't get up from bed, where can a little girl in Yulian take care of her. ”

Xu Chunying frowned: "This is not appropriate......

Xu Fenggu knew what Xu Chunying was thinking, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, but she didn't come out, and only said, "Sister Chunying, I will also tell you the truth." My girl is sensible and capable, and in my heart she is the best girl in the world. And your son is a scholar, and he is naturally the best in your eyes, even the princess is worthy of it, you bother to think about him, I also understand, after all, I am also a mother. It's just that there are some things I told Wanwan a long time ago, she didn't have that mind, and she was looking for your son just to be literate, and she sold a book some time ago! Rao is so, she also agreed to me, and will not go to your son in the future, to say something unpleasant, she has been wronged, and now she is not very happy to deal with your son. Although you can rest assured, Wanwan will only help you when the time comes, your son is not unable to get out of bed, and his own girl will take care of him, yes or no? ”

Xu Fenggu's words are quite reassuring, and she really wants to make it clear to Xu Chunying, so as not to make her own girl angry.

Xu Chunying listened silently, she didn't say what she overheard in the courtyard on the day of the Lantern Festival to refute Xu Fenggu, she only sighed and said, "I really couldn't help it before." Aunt Feng, I also think about your girl, she is a big girl, she always runs to my house, and her reputation is not good. ”

"My family doesn't care anymore, what do you care?" Xu Fenggu was a little proud, "Now my girl can see it, and she doesn't care about the gossip outside." Originally, I should have come to help your family, but recently my girl was pampered to do a little business, I didn't expect it to be very popular, I don't want to fish for three days and dry the net for two days, but I can't leave your family alone, fortunately, my girl is willing to help one or two. ”

"I'm sorry to trouble you, in fact, it's good to have Yulian." Xu Chunying said.

Xu Fenggu said: "Yulian is such a small girl, the burden of the two of you is on her, she will be tired and sick in a day or two, and the family of three will not be able to get out of bed at that time, what are you going to do?" ”

Xu Chunying let out a long sigh: "I'm sorry to trouble you and your girl." ”

"What's there to live up to? It's all neighbors, you help me and I help you, it's all commonplace. Xu Fenggu said with a smile.

The two spoke a few more words, and Xu Fenggu left.

As soon as Xu Fenggu left, Xu Chunying's expression became cold. Maybe Jiang Wan is a good girl, maybe Jiang Wan is not selfish, but even so, she can't let You'er marry her, it's better to be like Jiang Wan herself said, she doesn't have such thoughts about her son again.

Xu Fenggu glanced at Pei You again, and saw that he had already eaten and was in good spirits, so she asked Pei Yulian to eat first. She didn't stay in Pei You's house for long, told Pei You to rest more, and walked out.

Pei You curled up in the quilt and sighed slightly, thinking that he could see Aunt Jiang at night...... Wanwan, only his sister and Aunt Feng came, if it was late today, I think she wouldn't come again today.

He had some of the frustration after his expectations were disappointed, and the discomfort caused by illness aggravated this loss, which made him more sad and sentimental.

Now he can still see Wanwan and say something during his illness, but when he recovers, how can the two of them talk again? Alas, his illness had to heal slowly, but he had just slept for a day, and now he was much better, and I am afraid that he will be better in these two days.

Pei You fell asleep in his thoughts, woke up early the next morning, his body seemed to have a little more strength, he got up and freshened up, solved his personal problems, and went to his mother's house.

"Mother's ......" Pei You saw his mother lying on the bed, and his eyes were red.

Xu Chunying had already woken up, and when she heard Pei You's voice, she was suddenly startled: "You'er, what are you doing when you get up?" When he was still sick, he went back and lay down. If the wind blows again and catches a cold, what can I do if I get sicker? Go back! Mother, it's okay here. ”

Pei You endured the choking in his voice and said in a low voice: "Mother, I just came to see you and will go back soon." I'm much better today, mother, don't worry about me. ”

"It's good to get better, eat food and medicine on time, don't be afraid of bitterness. You didn't like to take medicine when you were a child, and you can't be willful anymore when you grow up. Xu Chunying chattered.

"Yes, mother." Pei You hurriedly responded, he looked at his mother again and again, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

Xu Chunying didn't know that Pei You was entangled, and after being silent for a while, she opened her mouth first: "You'er, Jiang Wan will come over to help take care of her mother these days, remember to avoid it, don't let people gossip, and don't give her undue hope." ”

Pei You swallowed his saliva nervously and replied in a low voice: "Yes, mother, the child understands." ”

Seeing that his mother was still so defensive about Wanwan, his mind to say good things for Wanwan also stopped, and he knew that if he said it at the moment, it would only backfire, but it would make his mother even less dislike Wanwan.

Pei You sighed slightly in his heart, but after he withdrew, he happened to see Jiang Wan coming in from the gate of his courtyard, and the two collided with each other, and he turned away in embarrassment.

Jiang Wan walked over quickly, and saw that Pei You was actually able to get up, and felt a little regretful in her heart, but said happily on her face: "Mr. Pei, are you in good health?" She lowered her voice, not wanting Pei Youniang to hear her talking to her precious son.

"Hmm...... It's almost ......" Pei You didn't want to admit that his body was almost well, and suddenly felt that his head was still a little dizzy, so he raised his hand and held on to the wall of his house.

Jiang Wan sneaked over while her father and mother had gone to the river to wash vegetables, and there was no one around at the moment, so she hurriedly supported Pei You and said in a low voice: "You run around before your body is well, and you are not afraid of getting worse?" ”

There was a hint of complaint and a hint of intimacy in her words, Pei You only felt that her heart was beating like thunder, and she was obediently helped back to the house, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry ......"

"Just don't run around from now on." Jiang Wan helped him lie down on the bed, and when he covered him with the quilt, a strand of broken hair ran across his cheek, itching, making him unconsciously hold his breath nervously, and he didn't exhale until she got up.

Jiang Wan smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat in the morning?" ”

"It's all good." Pei You looked at her blankly and muttered back. As long as it's what you do......

Jiang Wan chuckled.

Pei You suddenly came back to his senses about what he was thinking, and he was suddenly ashamed and embarrassed, and he didn't dare to look at her anymore.

Jiang Wan smiled: "Then I'll go back and make a 'all right' for you, maybe my mother will send it in a while, you have to remember to eat it all, don't leave it." ”

“…… Good. Pei You replied with a red face.

"I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see you again today, you can rest and recover soon." Jiang Wan didn't tease him anymore and said with a smile.

"Hmm......" Pei You didn't dare to look at her as usual.

Jiang Wan smiled, turned around and left, but who knew that she heard Pei You say behind her: "Wanwan, you don't have to work too hard......"

Jiang Wan couldn't help but hook her lips and laughed, his concern made her feel very iron, she didn't turn back, only nodded, and opened the door and went out.

Pei You stared blankly at the door that was closed at the moment, and only retracted his gaze for a while.

Wanwan said that she didn't have time to see him again today, alas......

When Jiang Wan touched the yard of Pei You's house, she didn't expect to bump into a child, and when the little boy saw Jiang Wan, he blinked his clear eyes and recognized her: "You are the big sister who often came to Mr. before!" ”

Jiang Wan looked at the little boy hesitantly, guessing that he should be from another village, and asked, "Are you a student of Mr. Pei?" ”

The little boy nodded proudly. When Jiang Wan came to Pei You, she often caught up with his teaching time, and his elementary school students had seen her a few times. Yesterday happened to be the day of rest, and he was sick and these children didn't know, and today I am afraid that they will come to class as usual.

Jiang Wan said: "Your husband is sick and has to rest for a few days." Can you drop by when you go back? Inform his other students and come back in five days. ”

The little boy's eyes widened: "Sir is sick?" Is it strict? I, shall I go and see the sir? ”

"It's not too strict, if you want to see it, just go and see it, but don't bother him for too long." Jiang Wan squatted down in front of the little boy and said with a smile, "Mr. likes you very much, I must be holding up my sick body to teach you class, and you don't want to see Mr. so tired, right?" ”

The little boy nodded vigorously: "Yes!" ”

Jiang Wan said: "Therefore, if Mr. wants to start classes tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you remember to persuade him, at least wait for five days, understand?" ”

"Got it!" The little boy said and went inside, but after just two steps, he seemed to remember something, and walked back and looked up at Jiang Wan, "Big sister, are you Mr.'s sweetheart?" ”

Jiang Wan couldn't help laughing, touched the little boy's head, and said in a low voice: "You should ask Mr. Pei about this, how can you ask me?" Am I my husband's sweetheart, only my husband knows, where do I know? I can't drill into his heart like the Zixia Fairy, and see if he has me in his heart. ”

The little boy nodded ignorantly, thinking that the big sister was indeed reasonable, but then he asked curiously, "Who is Fairy Zixia?" She can still get into people's hearts! His eyes widened with horror.

Jiang Wan couldn't help laughing: "If I have a chance to sue you again in the future, you should go and see your husband." By the way, what's your name? ”

The little boy grinned: "My name is Chen Ergou, and I am from Chenjia Village on the side!" ”

Jiang Wan: The name "............
