sweet wife little confused

Chapter 6
An Xiu'er raised her head and met Zhang Zhen'an's gaze. He was wearing a bamboo hat and covered with black gauze, only showing a strong nose bridge and a resolute chin. An Xiu'er couldn't see his expression clearly, so she didn't speak, just being generous She smiled at him, her half-bent eyes reflected the green mountains and green waters in the river, but her eyes were clearer and purer than the river water.

Seeing this gaze, Zhang Zhen'an actually felt a little hot on his face, and hurriedly turned his head to continue rowing, while An Xiu'er continued to appreciate the scenery on both sides of the river.

He returned home smoothly all the way, and just stepped into the door, but found an unexpected visitor, it turned out to be Gu Linlang.

What is he here for?An Xiu'er frowned, greeted Mrs. Liang, and saluted Gu Linlang. Before he could speak, she went back to her room.

"Xiu'er has always been spoiled by us, Mr. Gu, don't blame her for being rude." Mrs. Liang poured tea for Gu Linlang, with a very grateful expression on her face: "Thank you, sir, for your trouble."

"It's just a little effort." Gu Linlang smiled slightly, with a kind face and a calm demeanor, and said, "He is a very alert child, but he still needs a lot of teaching, so don't let him go on a detour."

"Thank you for your teaching, sir." Liang's expression was respectful. Nowadays, scholars are always precious, especially the country people, who respect scholars very much.

Gu Linlang chatted with Mrs. Liang again, and after he left, An Xiu'er came out of the room and asked, "What is Mr. Gu doing here?"

"I didn't come here because of Rong and that brat. My husband said that he didn't study hard in school, but he was watching birds. Mr. Gu was so angry that he slapped his palm on the spot, and he came home to tell me."

Liang Shi was a little angry when she spoke, and she scolded angrily: "The family saves money to pay for his tuition, yet he doesn't listen to the lectures well. See, I won't deal with him when he comes back!"

"Okay, mother, don't be angry." After An Xiu'er understood the reason, she smiled slightly when she saw Liang's angry appearance, and took out the blue-burning copper hairpin from her bosom. With a flash in front of him, he said, "Look, what is this?"

"The hairpin? Where did you get it?" Liang's gaze was immediately attracted by the hairpin in An Xiuer's hand, and he saw that the whole body of the hairpin was copper yellow, very simple, and there was a burnt blue peony at the end of the hairpin. Lifelike, much better than the missing wooden hairpin on her head.

"I bought this for your mother in town today." An Xiu'er took Liang's hand, put the copper hairpin in her hand, and said, "Didn't you always envy the hairpin of Aunt Trumpet next door? Today I will buy one from you too."

"You..." When Liang saw the copper hairpin in her palm, the cold touch made her instantly forget her previous anger. When she looked into her daughter's eyes, the pair of water-cut pupils glowed softly, but the eyelids The layer of cyan underneath is like spots on white jade under the fair skin, which is an eyesore no matter how you look at it.

She originally thought that she worked so hard to embroider handkerchiefs in the past few days just to save some dowry for herself, but she never thought that she was actually buying things for herself. Thinking of this, she just felt sore from her nose and almost shed tears Come.

"Here, there is also this cigarette rod. I bought it for Dad. What do you think?" An Xiuer didn't give Liang Shi a chance to be sentimental, she took out this cigarette rod from the basket and handed it to Liang Shi.

"It's pretty good." Liang touched the smooth shaft, nodded, and said, "Why did you think of buying a cigarette rod for your father? He hasn't smoked for many years."

"Bought it for him to beat people, whoever is disobedient, let him smoke him with a pipe." An Xiu'er said with a smile.

Father An used to be a smoker. When she was a child, An Xiuer remembered that he always had a cigarette stick pinned to his waist. When he was in a good mood, he would take it out and smoke a few puffs. Bought a cigarette pouch, and only the tobacco rod was left, and he also exchanged all the money for the cigarettes for himself to eat candy.

It seems like last year, because An Ronghe skipped school to catch crickets, he was very angry, he took the cigarette rod and slammed it on the table, but in anger, the cigarette rod broke in two, and there is still one on the table pit.Later, he never bought any more. An Xiu'er always remembered this matter. To buy this cigarette rod, she had saved money for a long time, but in that yellow beam dream, all the money became her pocketbook.

Since I came back today by Zhang Zhenan's boat, it was still early, and Mrs. Liang had just finished cooking. She went out to look at the sun outside, and saw that the sun was about to leave the corridor, so she knew it was time to cook.

It was the time when there was a shortage of crops, and the food at home became less and less. Even An Ronghe, who was going to school, only had half a bowl of rice plus a sweet potato with a slightly rotten smell and some pickles.

However, Mrs. Liang prepared another bamboo basket with a bowl full of rice, two boiled eggs, and a small dish of steamed bacon with pickled vegetables for An Xiuer to bring to Gu Linlang.

An Xiu'er was puzzled, so Liang said: "Mr. Gu has done his best for Ronghe, and he came here today. We should thank him. You can tell him later that our family is poor, so he won't be offended. .”

"Understood." An Xiu'er nodded, she couldn't get angry at Gu Linlang just because of a dream, maybe he wasn't that kind of person.

I went to the private school with the food box, and the private school just finished class. Some children who live nearby have gone home to eat, and some of them are delivered by their families. Some of the people in the neighboring villages mostly eat the dry food brought from home in the morning, and the conditions are better. Instead, he went to buy food from a family near the private school.

An Xiu'er looked at An Ronghe who ran towards her with a smile, touched his head, handed a food box in his hand to An Ronghe, and said: "Bring this to your master, go and come back quickly, I am still here The backyard is waiting for you."

An Ronghe nodded, and happily ran away carrying his things, while An Xiu'er carried his things to the backyard.

As soon as he approached the stone table, there was already a person sitting on the clinker stone table. Judging by his posture, it was Gu Linlang.

An Xiu'er frowned slightly, but Gu Linlang had already seen him. He greeted her calmly and said, "Xiu'er, are you here to deliver food to Rong He again?"

"Yes." Seeing that he had already spotted him, she generously walked over with the food box and said, "Thank you Mr. Gu for your hard work teaching Rong He."

"It's one's duty to be a teacher." Gu Linlang smiled slightly, her body was full of books, and she was handsome and flawless.

"Mr. Gu has a noble character." An Xiu'er said something against her will.

Now that she was sitting with Gu Linlang, she just felt very embarrassed. When she remembered the past, she wished to be alone with him, but now, she would never do it again. When she saw him, she just wanted to escape.

However, he looked at her with scorching eyes, which made her restless.

Fortunately, An Ronghe's voice came from far and near: "Auntie, the master is not here." When he crossed a clump of bamboo and saw Gu Linlang, he was a little surprised, Feiyang's expression instantly subsided, and respectfully Respectfully said: "So you are here, Master."

"Is there a problem?"

"This is something my aunt asked me to give you." An Ronghe put the food box on the stone table, Gu Linlang looked at An Xiu'er in confusion, An Xiu'er opened the lid of the food box, and brought the food to Gu Linlang In front of him, he said: "My mother asked me to bring it to you. My family is poor, so please don't dislike the simple lunch."

After speaking, she took out the food from another basket and brought it in front of An Ronghe, patted his head, and said, "Be hungry, eat."

When Gu Linlang saw that An Xiu'er brought him food, she thought she had changed her mind, and happily took a bite of the food, but unexpectedly, it felt extremely rough in her mouth, and she swallowed it with difficulty. He felt his throat swell, Looking at the blackened fat meat and pickles in the bowl, he frowned, unable to eat any more.

He has never been used to eating this kind of brown rice. On weekdays, he has a book boy who cooks for him. He always eats white rice, and the meals are also very delicate.

But this meal was brought to him by An Xiuer after all, and it would be bad if he didn't eat it right now. During this time, for some reason, An Xiuer has been somewhat indifferent to him. If An Xiuer knew that he despised these meals, he would definitely treat him even more Frosty.

When he was in a dilemma, he happened to catch a glimpse of An Rong and the pickles in the bowl. He made up his mind, flicked his sleeves, pushed the bowl and chopsticks, and said in a tone of anger, "You give me such a good meal, but you give me such a good meal? And eating such food, I am really ashamed, you take it back!"

An Xiu'er and An Ronghe saw him suddenly like this, they all looked at each other in dismay, he looked at their expressions, sighed again, softened his voice, and said earnestly: "Tell Ling Tang, don't do this again in the future, she I have deep feelings for Gu Linlang's affection for me, and I am ashamed of it."

"Understood." An Xiu'er nodded, but her heart was slightly cold. She had been to An's house in her dream, but although he was not considered rich, he was also well-fed. What he said was not true in his heart. Thinking this way, I must have disliked the rough food.

But it doesn't matter if he isn't, or he saves some food for his family.

Thinking about it, An Xiu'er stretched out her hand to pack the food in front of Gu Linlang, but Gu Linlang grabbed her hand, "Come with me."

Before she could react, he had already stood up and dragged her into the bamboo forest beside him.

He didn't stop until there was no one around in the bamboo forest path, An Xiu'er broke free from his hand, and said: "Mr. Gu's behavior just now is really too rude."

"As far as love is concerned, I don't care about etiquette." Gu Linlang saw that An Xiu'er was still slightly angry, and came to hold her hand again. An Xiu'er took two steps back, his eyes were full of hurt, Qi Ran said : "Xiu'er, are you still angry with me?"

"Mr. Gu was joking, how dare I be angry with him, besides, has he done anything to make me angry?" An Xiuer turned her head away when she saw Gu Linlang like this. , She likes this man so much, but since she had that dream, every time she thinks of him now, her heart is filled with unspeakable bitterness and boredom.
