29. A man in love
Jiang Wan watched Chen Ergou enter Pei You's house, and didn't go to join in the fun, but when she thought of Pei You's shy appearance when this little boy asked Pei You's sweetheart questions, she felt a little pity that she couldn't see it with her own eyes.
Chen Ergou knocked on the door and entered the house, Pei You was a little surprised when he saw it, and then he was relieved.
"Ergou, you talk to your classmates, come to class tomorrow, I was sick yesterday, and I really can't teach you today." Pei You said when he heard it. He has always spoken softly to others, and even the vulgar name of Ergou seems to be less unpleasant in his mouth. Chen Ergou was not originally called Chen Ergou, he had a serious illness two years earlier, and almost died, and finally rescued, his father and mother listened to the words of the blind fortune teller in their village and gave him a cheap name to support, and he could not change his name back to his real name until he was fourteen years old.
To Pei You's surprise, after listening to his words, Chen Ergou shook his head again and again: "No, sir." If you are sick, you should rest well, otherwise the illness will get worse. The big sister outside said that it will take at least five days to get better! ”
"Big sister out there?" Pei You was stunned.
Chen Ergou hurriedly said: "Yes, it is the sister who often came to find Mr. in the past, gentle and good-looking!" ”
For some reason, Pei You suddenly blushed a little.
Chen Ergou asked curiously, "Mr. Pei, is that big sister the sweetheart of Mr.?" ”
Pei You was stunned, and then the blush on his face stained the tips of his ears.
Chen Ergou continued: "I just asked the eldest sister if she is my husband's sweetheart. ”
She ...... How to get back? Pei You only felt that his heart was beating extremely fast, and he almost held his breath and waited for Chen Ergou's answer.
Chen Ergou said: "Big sister said, I should come to ask Mr., not her." ”
Pei You's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, but he was slightly disappointed.
Chen Ergou said: "Sir, you haven't sued me yet!" ”
Pei You looked at the curious Chen Ergou, coughed and put on a respectful posture and said softly: "Don't ask about the matter of Mr. ”
Chen Ergou is also a talent for catching chickens and dogs in Chenjia Village, but once he is in front of Pei You, he is full of respect for the teacher, so when he said this, he responded obediently, no longer asked, and only said: "Then sir, you should rest first, the eldest sister said let me not disturb Mr. for too long." I'll let everyone else know, so don't worry, sir, we'll come back in five days. ”
"Hmm...... I'm sorry for you. Pei You bowed slightly, he didn't let Jiang Wan's kindness go to naught.
Chen Ergou retreated respectfully, leaving Pei You but couldn't help but think back to his question.
That big sister is the sweetheart of the gentleman?
He silently chewed and savored the words of his sweetheart, and when they passed between his teeth, they seemed to carry a faint sweetness and intoxicating fragrance, which made him intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.
Jiang Wan has been waiting outside, she is afraid that other children will come over again and explain the situation.
Chen Ergou walked out of the house, walked up to Jiang Wan and said, "Big sister, I'll go back first." I'll go tell my classmates to come back in five days. ”
Jiang Wan watched with amusement as this little kid who didn't even grow his hair tried to learn Pei You's appearance, and reluctantly learned his scholarly style by three or four points, and put it on a seven or eight-year-old boy, which was really funny.
"Go ahead, stay safe on the road." Jiang Wan smiled, "By the way, tell me about it, did you ask me the question you asked me before, did you ask your husband?" ”
"Asked." Chen Ergou replied honestly, "But Mr. said that he wouldn't let me ask about his affairs." He didn't react at all, but when he said this, he was a little aggrieved.
imagined Pei You's embarrassment when she said this, Jiang Wan was a little overjoyed, and seeing that the child's love was low, she hurriedly comforted: "Don't be sad, Mr. is an adult after all, and you may not be able to understand a lot of things to tell you." When you're older, your husband will probably talk to you about something. ”
"Really?" Chen Ergou's eyes widened with some anticipation.
"Really!" Jiang Wan said with certainty.
Chen Ergou immediately laughed, said goodbye to Jiang Wan again, and left happily.
Jiang Wan then also went back to her house, cooked a pot of pumpkin porridge, and waited for Xu Fenggu and them to come back and eat together. Xu Fenggu took some to Pei You's house first. According to Xu Fenggu's meaning, she went to Pei You's house on her days, and when she and Jiang Funian were away, she wronged Jiang Wan. As a result, Jiang Wan's time to go to Pei You's house was greatly reduced, and although Jiang Wan was not very happy in her heart, she still had to follow her mother to make a relieved appearance on the surface.
After breakfast, the Jiang family got busy. Liu Caiyun brought her son and daughter to help as usual, and the two families were working enthusiastically, sweating all over their heads with smiles on their faces. No matter how hard and tired you are, you can make money, and the money you earn is still your own, and everyone is willing to do it.
Jiang Wan saw that she couldn't help at home, so she went to Pei You's house to help decoct the medicine. Dr. Qian prescribed two pairs of medicines, and she finished them today, and it happened that her father and mother were going to the county seat tomorrow, so she could bring back two pairs of medicines.
When Jiang Wan went, Pei Yulian was decocting medicine, her little face was covered with sweat, and her cheeks were even stained with a little black ash. She couldn't help but smile, touched Pei Yulian's head, and asked her to look at it for a while, while she entered Xu Chunying's house.
Xu Chunying could now hear Jiang Wan's footsteps, and when she heard someone coming in, she said, "Is it Jiang Wan?" ”
"Auntie, it's me." Jiang Wan said, "Auntie, are you feeling better today?" ”
"Much better." Xu Chunying said.
Xu Chunying didn't say much, so Jiang Wan took the initiative to speak: "Auntie, then I'll help you rub some more ointment, right?" Rubbing more medicine can get better quickly. ”
"This little thing Yulian can do, so I won't trouble you." Xu Chunying said.
Jiang Wan smiled: "Yulian is tormenting outside, so I'll come." Auntie, don't think I'm heavy-handed, right? Then I'll light it up. ”
Xu Chunying was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Then it's troublesome for you." ”
Jiang Wan smiled, took the ointment and began to apply medicine to Xu Chunying. Xu Chunying didn't speak, and Jiang Wan didn't speak when she smeared the medicine, but fortunately, one of them couldn't see it, so she didn't look too embarrassed.
After a while, Jiang Wan took the ointment and said with a smile: "Auntie, do you have anything you want to eat at noon?" ”
Xu Chunying wanted to say that it would be good to let Yulian do it, but thinking that Xu Fenggu's side would not agree, she said, "You just do it." ”
"Okay." Jiang Wan nodded, "Then I'll go back first, if you have something to do, let Yulian come to me." ”
"Well, you've been bothered for the past few days." Xu Chunying said politely.
"It should. My mother said that our two families are neighbors, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so we naturally have to help each other. Jiang Wan smiled, "That aunt, I'm leaving." ”
In front of Xu Chunying, Jiang Wan didn't mention Pei You at all, and when she got out of the house, she glanced at Pei You's room, walked up to Pei Yulian and said, "Yulian, leave it to me first, you go and ask your brother if he wants to drink water and eat something." ”
Pei Yulian nodded obediently and got up.
Jiang Wan looked at the medicine with her cheeks, and after a while, Pei Yulian came out and replied, "Sister Wan, my brother said no need." ”
"Okay, then you can rest for a while." Jiang Wan smiled and continued to look at the medicine.
Pei Yulian hesitated: "Sister Wan, let's come with me." ”
"It's not hard to look at the medicine, what are you robbing me of? Are you afraid that I'll be tired, or are you afraid that I'll poison your brother? Jiang Wan smiled.
Pei Yulian hurriedly waved her hand: "I, I didn't mean that......"
"I'm joking with you." Jiang Wan touched Pei Yulian's hairy head, "If you don't want to rest, let's look at the medicine together and talk." ”
Pei Yulian nodded hurriedly, took a bench and put it next to Jiang Wan, and looked at the medicine with Jiang Wan.
Inside the house, Pei You lay on the bed for a while, but he didn't lie down after all, he got up carefully, came to the door of the house, and quietly opened the door a crack. When Yulian came to ask him if he wanted to eat and drink, he mentioned that Jiang Wan was coming, and he thought about it, but he didn't see her come in to see him for a long time, so he tossed and turned for a while, but he still couldn't hold back.
The door only opened a small crack, thinking about his behavior at the moment, Pei You couldn't help blushing, and a voice told him, a scholar must not do such a sneaky thing, but he really couldn't hold back, maybe this is called one birth and two ripeness.
The angle is just right, Pei You can see Jiang Wan's side face, at this moment she is talking and laughing with Yulian, whether it is her or Yulian, there is a bright and lovely smile on her face, which makes his heart warm.
Pei You was looking at it stupidly, and when he saw Pei Yulian suddenly standing up and walking towards his room, he was shocked, and quickly turned around and ran to the bed, but who knew that because he was in too much hurry, his feet were weak for a while, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Pei Yulian heard the sound first, and then opened the door to see her brother fall to the ground, and immediately exclaimed: "Brother! ”
Jiang Wan saw that the medicine was good, and she asked Yulian to tell Pei You not to sleep first, but when she heard Yulian's exclamation, she hurriedly got up and ran over, and saw Pei You lying on the ground, as if he had fallen a little hard, and he didn't get up for a long time.
The two of them hurriedly worked together to help Pei You back to the bed, but he didn't hurt much, but he hurt his face, and after lying down in pain, although no one asked, he still explained: "I wanted to ...... I wanted to relieve myself, but I didn't know that my legs were weak......"
Pei Yulian saw that her brother's face was dirty, so she said, "I, I'll go fetch water!" ”
As soon as she left, Jiang Wan chuckled: "Really? Didn't you fall because you peeked at me and Yulian, but you were bumped into by her, so you hurriedly ran back? When she first came in, she could see clearly, he fell headfirst inward, obviously from the door to the bed, she only fell down, a little thought, she analyzed what he was doing before, only thought that he was very cute like this, and couldn't help but want to tease.
Pei You was stunned, then surprised and embarrassed. She, how would she know, and guessed the score exactly right!
Jiang Wan saw his doubts in embarrassment, but she just refused to explain, and only smiled at him teasingly: "How could it be done by a big husband who is so sneaky?" ”
Pei You's head was so low that he was almost buried in the quilt.
Jiang Wan continued: "If you want to see it, just look at it openly." ”
As she spoke, she sat down on the small low stool next to the bed, raised her hand and waved it under Pei You's lowered head, and after successfully attracting his attention to herself, she propped her elbows on the edge of the bed, looked up at him with a slight smile: "Okay, you can watch it to your heart's content." ”
Pei You looked at the delicate and lovely woman in front of her, there was a relaxed smile in her every expression, her slightly hooked lips seemed to have a hint of cunning, there was no shyness in her eyes, she looked at him directly, and his helpless appearance was reflected in her pupils.
His gaze swept over her curly eyelashes, her moist eyes, her delicate and small nose, and finally her plump red lips, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously, only to feel that those lips were like delicate flowers, waiting to be plucked.
Realizing his thoughts, the tips of his ears turned red, and he retreated suddenly, slamming into the head of the bed, and couldn't help but snort.
Jiang Wan was slightly startled, quickly stood up, and said funny and a little guilty: "Are you okay?" ”
She seems to have been a little too flirtatious, which is nothing in modern times, but she is too exciting to say too much to this pedantic scholar......
After reflecting on herself, Jiang Wan stood a meter away from the bed, no longer leaning forward.
The pain in his back quickly subsided, Pei You lowered his head and shook it, his throat seemed to be a little dry, and he couldn't speak.
Pei Yulian happened to come in with a wooden basin carrying water at this time, Pei You quickly raised his eyes and looked, only to find that Jiang Wan was standing a little far.
The wooden basin was placed on the small stool next to the bed by Pei Yulian, Pei You's eyes swept over, but what he thought was: Fang Cai Wanwan was also sitting there......
After Pei Yulian squeezed the cloth towel dry, he was picked up by Pei You, he wiped his face with his own hands, and only dared to peek at Jiang Wan quietly through the cloth towel between wiping his face.
Jiang Wan felt that today's share of the flirtatious man was enough, so she turned around and walked out, poured the medicine, and gave her the medicine after Pei Yulian came out to pour water, and asked her to bring it in for Pei You to drink, and she went home.
Pei You saw that it was Pei Yulian who came in with the medicine, and Jiang Wan was not seen behind him, so he picked up the medicine and blew it for a while, as if he asked inadvertently, "Where is Miss Jiang?" ”
Pei Yulian said: "Sister Wan went home. ”
Pei You was stunned and a little anxious: "Why?" Is she angry? ”
Pei Yulian said strangely: "Angry? No, Sister Wan went home to cook. ”
"Oh......" Pei You put down his impatience and slowly drank the cooled medicine, but the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.
Fang Wanwan sat there and said let him take a good look, he couldn't help but retreat because he was too embarrassed, and she retreated a long way away at that time, was she annoyed by his actions? She asked him to look at her, but he pulled away, and in her opinion, did he think he didn't want to look at her?
Pei You was uneasy in his heart, for a while he felt that she was not such a stingy person, and for a while he felt that he really did not do well to make her angry, and his mood suddenly went up and down, wanting to explain to her, but he didn't know how to explain, and it was not appropriate for him to run straight to her, but if he didn't say anything, he was afraid that she would be so angry that he refused to come to see him again.
For a while, he was so entangled that he didn't even pay attention to the finished medicine, holding a bowl in a daze, until Pei Yulian called him strangely, he hurriedly came back to his senses and handed the medicine bowl to her.
When it was time for lunch, the person who brought the lunch was not Jiang Wan, and Pei You's expectations were suddenly disappointed. All afternoon, Jiang Wan didn't come over, Pei You couldn't sit still on the bed, got out of bed and walked a few steps, didn't go out of the door, lay back on the bed, frowned and sighed.
The person who brought the dinner was still Xu Fenggu, Pei You wanted to ask, but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and miss the filling, so he swallowed it back several times.
So at night, it was another night of tossing and turning, and when Pei You woke up the next day, he only felt that he was not in good spirits.
This night, Jiang Wan had a good night's sleep.
During the day, the Jiang family made a lot of pastries, and Jiang Wan looked at the neatly arranged pastries after steaming, as if she had seen countless copper coins, and her eyes were shining.
Waiting for Jiang Funian and his party to leave early the next morning, Jiang Wan was looking forward to their return with a full load, and at the same time there was a sense of relaxation that let go of herself - yesterday her mother took care of the work of delivering food, and today she was finally able to go in person.
Because Jiang Funian and his entourage ate breakfast early, they were afraid that the Pei family would not get up yet, so they did not do them first, but handed it over to Jiang Wan. Estimating that the time was almost up, Jiang Wan began to prepare breakfast next door, and with the help of Xu Hui, they took it together, but saw Pei You actually standing under the plane tree with a book.
Jiang Wan frowned, walked over quickly and said, "Mr. Pei, early in the morning, you are still sick again, what are you doing here?" ”
Pei You was happy to see Jiang Wan, but how could he say that he was waiting for her, and said: "I haven't read a book for a few days, and I'm a little rusty, so I'll read ......."
Without waiting for him to finish, Jiang Wan said with a straight face: "If you don't want me to tear up your book, go into the house immediately." ”
Pei You was stunned.
He hadn't slept well all night, and his illness had just healed, with a lingering haggard on his face, and his eyes were a little blank, but Jiang Wan's appearance lit up the look in his eyes, and at this moment his whole person seemed to have more strength. But she kept a straight face on him, was she really still annoyed with him because of yesterday's events?
Pei You glanced at Xu Hui who was following Jiang Wan, but when it came to his throat, he could only hold back the words, and only said, "I...... I'll go in ......."
He sighed and was about to leave, but Jiang Wan took out the book with a free hand, and said lightly: "The book was confiscated first." ”
Pei You looked at Jiang Wan blankly.
Jiang Wan glanced at him: "Are you not convinced?" Who called you a sick number, hold on! ”
Xu Hui snorted and laughed on the side.
Pei You's face suddenly turned red.
Jiang Wan didn't care about him, led Xu Hui into the house, smiled at Pei Yulian who was coming on, let her pick her up early, turned his head and saw Pei You still standing in place, pretending to be displeased: "Mr. Pei, are you going to blow the wind for a few more days?" ”
Pei You came back to his senses and hurried back to the house. He was still a little weak, and when he got to the hall, he sat down, and his face was a little pale.
Pei Yulian will put it away early, and Jiang Wan asked, "Yulian, is your mother awake?" ”
"Wake up." Pei Yulian nodded.
Jiang Wan took a breakfast and went to Xu Chunying's house.
Xu Chunying has always been polite to Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan fed her early, greeted her a little bit, and didn't stay longer. She is no longer as stunned as she was when she saw Xu Chunying at the beginning, but she has always been full of awe for this blind mother in her heart. Fortunately, she didn't plan to let the other party change her opinion of herself and accept herself once or twice, she could only say that she had accumulated over time and took her time.
Back in the hall, Jiang Wan saw that Pei You and Pei Yulian had just finished eating, so she helped clean them up. She and Xu Hui had eaten with Jiang Funian and them in the morning.
"Miss Jiang, I'll just come by myself......" Pei You felt that since he was already able to get out of bed, it would be difficult to let Jiang Wan help his family clean up this and that, and he was busy reaching out to get the bowl of the two.
This stretch of hand touched Jiang Wan's hand, and he retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted, with an unnatural expression.
Jiang Wan glanced at him, smiled secretly in her heart, but there was no difference on her face: "It's okay, it's just a matter of convenience." ”
Pei Yulian also came to help, and Jiang Wan asked Xu Hui to pull her out to play.
In the sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks, Pei You realized that there were only two people left, and just as he was about to speak, Jiang Wan had already walked out of the hall with the cleaned dishes and chopsticks and washed the dishes in his yard.
Pei You stood at the door of the hall a little cramped, not knowing what to do for a while. This is obviously his own home, but because of the extra person, it makes him feel unnatural in a strange place.
After Jiang Wan finished washing the dishes, she saw Pei You standing there stupidly, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing standing there?" ”
Pei You's face turned red and asked blankly, "You, aren't you angry with me?" ”
"Angry? What are you angry about? Jiang Wan wondered.
"That's it...... It's just yesterday......" Pei You couldn't go on.
Jiang Wan said: "You mean you peeked at it?" ”
Pei You lowered his gaze and shook his head slowly.
Jiang Wan thought for a while, and then said, "That's what you mean...... I showed you what you dodged away? ”
Pei You's face turned even redder, such a gesture was tantamount to acquiescence.
Jiang Wan couldn't help laughing: "What's so angry about this." ”
Yesterday, she felt that she had gone too far, afraid that he would be uncomfortable, but she didn't expect him to be thinking about it all the time, and she was afraid that she would be angry...... How can this scholar be so cute!
Her eyes were full of smiles: "I didn't expect you to be a reader, and your mind is so delicate......"
Pei You seemed to freeze there, his heart beating like a drum by her teasing words, and he just wanted to find a hole to get into.
But I heard Jiang Wan continue: "But I am very happy in my heart, you have taken such a small matter to heart." ”
What she wanted to say was that she was very happy that he had taken her to heart like this, but she was afraid that it would be too much for him, so she spoke more tactfully, but the meaning was the same.
Pei You couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Jiang Wan, she was also looking at him, her smile was soft and lovely, her eyes were shining and seemed to be decorated with stars, like a whirlpool, which made him involuntarily approach, willing to be inhaled.
The sound of Xu Hui and Pei Yulian playing woke up the pair of men and women who were looking at each other, Pei You's whole face turned red when he looked away, but Jiang Wan didn't look out of the ordinary, and turned to look at the two little girls: "Be careful, don't fall." ”
Pei You's gaze turned back, and he couldn't help but fall on Jiang Wan, as if he couldn't see enough.
