Yoshida Mii

Chapter 202
After the carriage left, the onlookers gradually dispersed seeing that there was no excitement to watch. Dong Bao looked angrily at the direction the carriage was leaving, his fists were tightly clenched in the sleeves of his cotton jacket, and his pink face was swollen. flushed.

What a shame, what a shame!
The sum of the two lifetimes is more than [-] years old, to be scolded like this by a brat in the street, I really can't file anymore.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Shi took Dong Bao's hand and walked forward slowly, "With me here, he wouldn't dare to come down and beat someone."

Dong Bao let out a long sigh of sullenness in his heart, shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid, is your shoulder still hurting? Let's see Dr. Wang?" She had already seen that the brat was a vicious master. Hey, he's stinking and scolding fiercely, he's really about to move his fist, he runs faster than a rabbit.It's just that being scolded like this in the street, saying that you don't care, is really annoying in your heart.

Lin Shi smiled and shook his head, "It's really all right." After speaking, he moved his shoulders deliberately, "Look, there's nothing wrong with it."

Dong Bao was still worried, and warned: "Then if you don't feel well when you go home, you have to come to the town to see the doctor."

"I know." Lin Shi smiled. There was a smile on his face, but his heart was full of mist. Dong Bao felt depressed when he was angry, and he felt uncomfortable. Apart from anger, he was more unwilling. That The little boy is not as tall or strong as he is, so why dare he scold him so loudly? Isn't it because he looks like a country boy?He clearly remembered the contemptuous look in that little fat boy's eyes, just because he was a countryman, that boy dared to bully him, bully his Dongbao so unscrupulously!
The young man's mind was hidden deep and under great pressure. After today's stimulation, he became more determined to study hard.At least, if Dong Bao marries him in the future, he can no longer suffer this kind of anger with him, and can't be bullied by such a person.

With their own concerns in their hearts, the two returned to Tagouji.When he walked to the door of Lin's house, Dong Bao saw Song Zhaodi wearing last year's padded jacket and trousers, with two braids tied into his sleeves, talking to a girl from the same village.Hearing Lin Shi and Dong Bao's footsteps, Song Zhaodi looked up at them, the smile on his face immediately sank, and the look of curling his lips and rolling his eyes was exactly the same as Huang's.

Dong Bao also glanced at Song Zhaodi casually. She and Song Zhaodi often met and didn't think so, but looking at the cotton jacket and trousers on Song Zhaodi, they were all short, especially the cotton trousers with red background and white flowers. The old blue coarse cloth was sewn on with thick white thread, which was particularly conspicuous.

My cousin has also grown up a lot this year!Dong Bao sighed quietly in his heart.Song Zhaodi is 13 years old this year. Although her hair is a little thin and yellow, her face is fair and clean, and the few freckles on her face can't hide her youthful freshness. A healthy and handsome peasant girl.

The shoes Song Zhaodi wears are not cotton shoes, but straw sandals that people in Anzhou often wear. The soles are made of thick wood blocks, woven with reeds, and the inside of the shoes is stuffed with wheat straw, thick and bulky, to keep warm. The sex is not very good. When you wear it, you need to wrap your feet with cloth, otherwise straw or something will stick to the socks.

Because they are thick and bulky, people from better-off families will not wear such straw sandals.

Dongbao remembers that he wore the same kind of straw sandals during the Chinese New Year last year. The surface of the straw sandals was polished to a smooth surface, and the sound was very loud when walking on the stone road. They were stained with snow-melted mud and could not be washed if they were dirty. No shoes to wear.

Song Zhaodi ignored her, and Dong Bao didn't even bother to talk to Song Zhaodi. When Lin Shi pulled Dong Bao past the door of Song's house, he didn't even glance at Song Zhaodi, just like Song Zhaodi was a ball of air.

On the contrary, the girl who was talking to Song Zhaodi looked enviously at Dongbao's new padded jacket and trousers, and secretly glanced at Lin Shi a few times. I lost my mind, but I couldn't stop my heart from secretly liking, who would make my parents look so handsome!

"What are you looking at!" Song Zhaodi said contemptuously, casting a blank look at the girl, "The eyelids are so shallow! What's so good about him? He's not just a poor man!"

The girl has a strong figure, with a wheat-colored face flushed, and said in a low voice: "I didn't look at Brother Dashi, but I saw your cousin. The dress she is wearing is so beautiful... My mother said, Brother Dashi is going to town. I’m going to school, I’m sure I’m going to be a scholar, I won’t be an idiot anymore!”

"Hey!" Song Zhaodi pursed her lips and snorted, obviously very dissatisfied with the girl who was so sure that Lin Shi would be admitted as a scholar, and said with her hands: "There are too many people studying! My uncle took the exam several times before he got in. He has only been studying for a few days? Besides, he has to go down that path and get together with that dead girl Dongbao, even if he has the best luck, he will be scared away by that tiger girl! I don’t think he will ever pass the exam in his life superior!"

The girl gritted her teeth when she saw what Song Zhaodi said, and she felt dissatisfied. No one in the village knew that Second Aunt Song wanted to tell Lin Shi about Song Zhaodi, but Lin Shi's mother refused, and the two families stopped communicating. The grapes say the grapes are sour.

"I'm going back first, it's time to help my mother make glutinous rice balls." The girl said, turned around and left, her mother told her that Song Zhaodi was not a good girl, and told her not to associate with Song Zhaodi.

When we arrived at Dongbao's house, the yard was covered with a layer of snow. Lin Shi first borrowed a shovel from Huaihua's house and shoveled the snow aside, making a snowdrift. Then he found a wooden stick and carefully hung the firecrackers on the On the wooden stick, he blew on the burning incense, and after igniting the fuse, he ran over and covered Dong Bao's ears.

The sound of crackling firecrackers was recalled in the empty yard, and Dong Bao watched with a smile as the firecrackers exploded in the yard, and the smoke filled the air for a long time before dissipating, and the white snow was covered with bright red firecracker paper.

"Let's go." Lin Shi smiled, and when Dong Bao came out, he locked the door.

Aunt Qiuxia is making glutinous rice balls at home. The white, tender, plump glutinous rice balls are rolling in a big iron pot, some are wrapped in white sugar, and some are stuffed with sesame seeds.The glutinous rice balls in the Dongbao bowl are filled with white sugar, and the hot syrup will flow out after one bite, sweet and greasy.

Back in the town, when Dong Bao thought of the brat he met in the afternoon, he felt suffocated in his heart, and his energy was low all night.When she was going to sleep, Li Shi pulled Dong Bao and asked what was going on. She wondered if Lin Shi and Dong Bao had quarreled, but she didn't think it was right. No matter what happened, Lin Shi must have They all have to let Dongbao go, and they can't even quarrel.

Dong Bao thought about it, finding someone to confide in would make him feel better, so he told Li Shi about the brat in the afternoon.

Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing after hearing what happened, and patted Dong Bao's hand to persuade him warmly: "You said that the child is uneducated and ignorant, what do you care about with him as a sensible child? How angry are you?" Is it worth it? Or do you think Dashi didn't vent your anger on you and scolded that child?"

"How is that possible?" Dong Bao shook his head. If Lin Shi could scold him as much as that brat, then he wouldn't be the gentle boy she likes. come out."

Mrs. Li clapped her hands and said with a smile: "If you figure it out, why are you so angry? In the past, we didn't go anywhere in Tagouji and saw few people. Now, I understand that the forest is getting bigger. What kind of birds are there?" Both, that kid is unreasonable because his parents didn't teach him well, if he doesn't teach him this kind of temper well, he will be the one who will be unlucky in the future! He is not sensible, we don't have the same knowledge as him. Mother knows that you and Dashi are good boys."

"Okay, I know, I understand everything." Dong Bao laughed, she understood the truth, but she was really unhappy in her heart, holding her breath, she always thought that she was easy to talk, so Huang put her in front of her I didn't get much benefit, I didn't expect to suffer from a brat.

Thinking of that fat little man with a swollen face again, Dong Bao became more and more disgusted, frowning and praying that he would never deal with such a person in his life.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year is considered to be completely over. On the morning of the sixteenth day, after a string of firecrackers were set off at the entrance of the Baoji shop, the shop officially opened for business.

When it was still dawn, Guizhi came to work, saw Li Shi and Li Hongqin, smiled and called sister-in-law, but the smile on his face was forced, it seemed that he was angry in his heart.

Guizhi doesn't like to talk very much, but she also has a high-minded temperament and can't hide her temperament.

Seeing her like this, Li Shi laughed and said, "Why did you get angry just after this year? Why did Da Rong make you unhappy?"

After such a long time of contact, Gui Zhi had long regarded Mrs. Li and the others as his elder sisters, and did not hide it from them. He sighed and said, "It's not my family, but the child's aunt. Hey, yesterday I When I passed by the door of my in-law’s house with Da Rong, I saw the aunt and uncle leading the child out of the door, and the parents-in-law escorted them out. The aunt and uncle were carrying something that Da Rong and I bought for the New Year. An old man's gift."

Every family has its cupboard!Mrs. Li couldn't tell who was right and who was wrong, so she could only comfort Guizhi and said, "What's so angry about this? You have given things to your children's grandparents as a filial piety. They use them as they like, and give them to whomever they like. You don't care how much you do." What? It's useless except to add to my heart!"

Guizhi sighed, held Li's hand and said, "Sister Hongzhen, you also know why we separated in the first place, and it wasn't because the old couple was partial! After the Chinese New Year, my two children didn't get anything from him. Grandpa and grandma got it, but it’s a big bag for the children and aunts, very generous! We should honor the elderly, and they are ashamed to take what we honor the past for nothing. It’s the life of Dayong’s eldest sister’s family Difficult, no matter how difficult it is, there is no difficult way to go to your mother's house from time to time to enjoy the autumn breeze, right?"

"You saw them yesterday, did they see you?" Li Shi asked.
