Seeing that he was silent, she sat on the edge of the mat and continued: "I know I have a little more care, but I am for your good, I think that while I am still young, I can still help take care of the children, and then you can relax." ”

"I don't want you to marry anyone, grandma and I both want to find someone you like to marry."

"You don't like to go out to play with the iron eggs on weekdays, and you are behind me all day long, and you can't touch any young girls, so I want to help you keep an eye on it."

He remained silent, and she asked, "Is there a girl with a pleasant heart?" If you do, tell me that my family absolutely agrees, and will not say disagree. ”

The hand in the boy's bed tightened slightly, he didn't pay attention, he had already thought about it.

But he didn't dare to say.

"Sister-in-law, can you do it for another two years?"

Two more years will do.

Lin Qiao didn't know what he was thinking, thinking that he was annoyed and looking at each other, so he responded for fear that he would be disgusted, "Okay, I won't force you in two years or a few years, as long as you are happy." ”

It was true that she wanted him to rejoice, but it was definitely not built on her......

……

Since the two talked about it that day, Lin Qiao has never mentioned anything to Song Tingfan.

The hot night ushered in the first torrential rain of the hot summer, hitting the roof with a strong force, and it seemed that a hole would be knocked out in the next moment.

Lin Qiao woke up from her sleep and vaguely saw a dark shadow by the window, she was startled and blurted out, "Who?" ”

"Sister-in-law is me." When Song Tingfan heard that it was raining, she was worried that the rain would come in and wet her quilt, so she got up and closed the window.

Lin Qiao came back to her senses and breathed a sigh of relief, the first reaction in her mind at that moment just now was a villain.

She is still a little scared when she thinks of the villain.

"It's raining heavily?"

"Hmm." Song Tingfan returned to his bed, turned his head to look at the covered curtain, "Sister-in-law, are you afraid?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Qiao turned sideways and faced the curtain, "Don't be afraid, are you afraid?" ”

"Sort of."

"Tear the curtain open."

Lin Qiao raised her hand and opened the curtain, vaguely saw the black shadow on the bed not far away, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

"Okay." The joy in the boy's voice was hidden in the sound of the rainstorm.

After a while, the room was calm again, and Lin Qiao fell asleep again.

Outside the house, it was still surging, but the sky was gradually clear.

The shops on both sides of the street opened their doors one after another, and old women, men, and women took brooms to sweep the rainwater that had accumulated at the doors.

Lin Qiao went down to the attic while crossing his head, and at this time, a long figure at the door swept the floor with a broom.

"Uncle, when did you get up?"

"Just got up." Song Tingfan turned his head when he heard the sound and saw her wearing a goose-yellow dress, and he couldn't help but look at it twice.

Lin Qiao noticed his gaze. He glanced down and teased with a smile: "Isn't it good-looking? ”

The skirt is inconvenient to work, she doesn't wear it often, but the clothes she washed last week didn't dry, so she found out and wore them.

This afternoon shouldn't be too busy.

"It's good-looking, my sister-in-law looks best in goose yellow." Song Tingfan picked his head a little shyly.

"That's it, I'll wear it every day in the future." After Lin Qiao said this, she went to wash, and then had a simple breakfast.

It's been another day of work.

It's raining today, and business is really not good, but fortunately I didn't get too many cold noodles out.

The rain at the door was swept and accumulated, and accumulated, and swept away.

So she turned around and went to wash a bowl, and the water accumulated at the door again, and she took a broom to sweep at the door, and suddenly two men ran in in a hurry, and Rao had an umbrella and wet his clothes.

The tall man said to Lin Qiao: "Boss, I want two bowls of hot noodles." ”

"Okay." Lin Qiao put the broom at the door, washed his hands, grabbed two handfuls of noodles and threw them into the soup to boil.

At the same time, Song Tingfan made the seasoning.

"How long will it rain! If we continue like this, I don't know when we will be able to give a short order, and we will be punished. ”

"Alas, we do the drudgery."

"That's not it, the monkey stammered with the boss, and the boss asked him to inform the county seat, and we won't be sent to the town or village after the stammer."

"I really don't want to do it, I don't want to go to the frontier in the middle of this month, the frontier has been stable all these years, and there will be no war if I go, and there is money to use."

Although their voices were small, Lin Qiao and Song Tingfan heard it.

Recruitment ahead of schedule?

Lin Qiao held the table and asked with a smile, "Are the two of you officials?" ”

The tall man thought she was going to stammer, holding the shelf, "What's the matter?" ”

"No, I thought that if the official face was to give you to eat, I worked hard to protect us ordinary people on weekdays." Lin Qiao came as soon as he opened his mouth when he said good things.

The two "errand" officials were used, their faces softened a little, and the short man drew his chopsticks and picked a chopstick noodle, "Thank you." ”

Lin Qiao went to serve them pickles again, and said tentatively: "Two poor masters, are you going to recruit soldiers?" ”

"That's right."

"Isn't it October?"

"The birthday of the Queen Mother in October was two months earlier, this matter is too hasty, and it is required that the recruitment of troops will be completed on August 15, no, it will be notified if it is raining."

It's the third day of August today, isn't it only twelve days, Lin Qiao subconsciously glanced at Song Tingfan, and then asked, "Or register in the village?" ”

"Well, he's going? It should be fine. ”

The tall official glanced at Song Tingfan, and said, "Then you have to hurry, you will hand in the register tomorrow afternoon, and you will have to check your body later." ”

The physical examination is just to see if there is a disability.

If the number of conscripts is exceeded, they will be screened in terms of height and physique.

"Okay, thank you, sir." Lin Qiao thanked her.

After a quarter of an hour or two, the official errand left, Lin Qiao looked at the silent young man, and couldn't guess whether he wanted to go or not, "Does Uncle still want to go?" ”

Song Tingfan didn't speak for a while, and only nodded after a while, "Go." ”

"If we go, the rain will be a little lighter in the afternoon, and we will go back to the village."

Lin Qiao cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, went to the attic to clean up after washing, and after a while, Song Tingfan also came up.

She didn't look back, "Uncle, put everything away, we don't go to town these days." ”

Thinking that it would be a few days, the family stayed at home.

Song Tingfan looked at her back, his eyes flashed with reluctance, "Sister-in-law." ”

"Huh?"

He shouted and didn't speak, Lin Qiao turned his head to look at him, "What's wrong?" ”

Song Tingfan secretly pinched the corner of his clothes, and said worriedly: "Do you want me to go?" ”

Hearing this, Lin Qiao didn't answer him immediately, and thought about it carefully, "I don't want to." ”

"But Uncle has to have his own way to go, and he can't keep you by my side all the time."

It's not a lie if she doesn't want to, she is indeed a little reluctant, after all, people have been getting along for a long time and are more or less emotional.

The dullness in Song Tingfan's heart, which was returned, dissipated a little, and he seriously promised, "Sister-in-law, I will come back." ”
