sweet wife little confused

Chapter 80
An Tieshi stretched out his hand and said threateningly: "You should know how strong I am. In less than half a year in this arena, I have already become famous. If you dare to bully my sister, just wait to eat my fist." !"

Zhang Zhenan was still smiling, how could he be willing to bully her.

An Xiu'er leaned against Zhang Zhen'an's arms, wiped away her tears secretly, then raised her head and said, "Brother, do you still intend to continue being a gladiator?"

"Of course, I'm fine here, so you don't have to worry." An Tieshi took two steps back and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you guys go back quickly, remember to keep this matter a secret for me, maybe I will If you have been a gladiator for a few years, if you go out and enlist in the army, you might be able to become a general as well."

"Brother, do you believe what other people say to you? How can it be so easy to enlist in the army and become a general?" An Xiu'er gave him a look and said, "When you are exercising on weekdays, you can put in more effort. Just like a fool, rush forward, otherwise you think that if you put an iron in your name, you are really an iron man?"

"Okay, brother knows." An Tieshi knew that she cared about him, and he understood all these reasons, but how could he follow his own wishes in many things, he smiled wryly in his heart, and said, "You don't know, we Gladiators only get rich when they play, and the victor not only enjoys glory, but also wealth and money.”

"What about the loser? Isn't this fight for nothing? Injured for nothing?"

Although An Xiu'er understood his helplessness in her heart, she still couldn't help but argue like this. In fact, no matter where it is, even a small village values ​​profit, let alone a place like the arena, where the arena The market does not support idlers, and if you cannot create benefits for them, you will only be abandoned.

"Only if you become stronger and stronger, you will not be defeated." Zhang Zhenan also said aside, but obviously, this An Tieshi is not so powerful.

"Okay, don't worry, my elder brother only has this strength, and the people I'm competing with also have this average strength. My fights are all low-odds gladiatorial fights, which are not very dangerous, and everyone loves them. As for our own body and life, if we have those strong men raised by big families, we will generally not smash to death."

An Tieshi comforted An Xiu'er, saying: "Anyway, I usually win more than I lose, and I won't let the arena abandon me, and I can make a little money myself."

As he spoke, he took out a small bag from his bosom, and said: "These money is earned by elder brother recently, you take it home and give it to your parents."

"You keep it, the vegetables in the field are growing now, and the family is not so short of money, besides, there is me." An Xiu'er did not reach out to take some words, she was actually afraid of her With this money, if An Tieshi gets injured, he will have no money to buy medicine.

But how could An Tieshi have the heart to let a younger sister who is already married take on everything from her natal family? He insisted on giving her the money, but An Xiuer shook her head again when she saw this, and said, "Okay, brother, if I take it About your money, when I go back to my parents and ask about it, I will also lie, you must know that I will not lie, and when my parents ask, I will definitely be exposed."

Seeing that An Tieshi was hesitant, she took two steps back and said, "Okay, it's getting late, we'll go back first, brother, don't hold on when you're alone, you must tell your family if you have something to do, you can't hold on anymore Just come back, it doesn't matter what others think, although your parents also hope that you will be successful, but no matter what, your health and happiness are what we value most, you know?"

"I understand, don't worry." An Tieshi nodded, grinning, showing his big white teeth to An Xiu'er.

An Xiu'er also laughed lightly, with a pair of dimples at the corners of her mouth, in fact, she was worried in her heart, how could he know.

When she turned to leave, An Xiu'er couldn't help but came back and hugged An Tieshi, An Tieshi patted her head, and let her go quickly.

He knew that the little sister he loved so much since he was a child is now married, and there is now Zhang Zhenan and a man and a woman between him and her, and he still wants to hug her for a while. , but how could he.

"Okay, girl, it's getting late, you guys go back quickly." Fund was reluctant, but An Tieshi still had to urge her to leave.

"Then let's go first." Zhang Zhen'an came over and took An Xiu'er's hand.

An Tieshi said: "Boy, take good care of my sister. If you dare to treat her badly, my fists are not vegetarian."

This is the second time he said this sentence. Married daughters are thrown out, let alone married girls?In fact, he had nothing to do with Zhang Zhenan, he could only throw down two useless threats. To Zhang Zhenan, this had no power at all, but Zhang Zhenan nodded seriously, and said, "Don't worry!"

An Tieshi was afraid that if he was standing here, An Xiu'er was reluctant to leave, so she simply turned around and went in. An Xiu'er watched his back disappear from her eyes, and then left the arena with Zhang Zhenan. It was getting late, and the two People didn't go shopping any more, and returned to the river along the original road.

As the evening approached, there were a lot of people coming and going on the pier, and the boats in the river were bustling with people. When they boarded the boat, they found that the waiter had already helped deliver the cloths they bought at the cloth shop. An Xiu'er ordered some, There was nothing wrong, Zhang Zhenan saw this, put down the things in his hands, and left with a boat.

Walking all the way home, the sky is getting later and later, the setting sun seems to cast a layer of golden light on the river, sparkling, very beautiful, the sun is gradually setting, and the sunset has rendered the river red again, like fire and blood .

When I came here, I didn't think it would take long to go to the county seat, but when I returned, it took a little longer. An Xiu'er saw that the sunset glow in the sky was replaced by a crescent moon, and gradually more stars appeared in the night sky. embellishment.

The sky at night is very beautiful, deep and mysterious. It is reflected in the river, reflecting the water of the river. When the moonlight shines down, there are more small stars in the river. In the quiet summer night, it is very beautiful.

The sound of the paddling water flowed into my ears, and the person beside me who was holding the paddle was tall and had a light shadow. An Xiu'er was originally a little afraid of the dark night, but tonight, all of this seemed to have a special beauty. Not afraid at all, and even in the mood to admire the fireflies flying in the grass by the river.

In the quiet night, the boat moved forward slowly, she had a smile on her face, and the two of them didn't talk, everything was beautiful.

Finally, when the two saw the dots of lights on the shore, An Xiu'er knew that the two had arrived in the town, and not long after that, they arrived in the village.

Zhang Zhenan's house lived at the end of the village, and when the boat docked, no one noticed, only a few dogs barking in the distance, and unknown insects chirping in the ears, everything seemed so quiet, most of the villagers had already fallen asleep, The whole village is shrouded in a faint moonlight, so quiet.

Although it was a day of playing outside today, the two of them were still a little tired when they came home, especially Zhang Zhenan had been rowing the oars without stopping in between, which was hard work.

An Xiu'er rested for a while, served him noodles for dinner, and when he was full, he washed up and went to bed.

There was nothing wrong with each other for several days, An Xiu'er kept her mouth shut, she didn't tell anyone about An Tieshi, and she acted as if she didn't know about it. Apart from cooking for Zhang Zhen'an, she was only busy doing some maid work every day. Bought faded fabrics to make quilts, sheets, pillows.

Although it is not very good for city people, but for country people, the fabric is not rotten, it is a good thing.

Even when she brought a finished quilt to Mrs. Liang, Mrs. Liang said that she was wasting it, saying: "You can use such a good fabric to make a quilt, and this quilt can be put together with clothes that can't be worn." Now, where is such a good fabric needed?"

An Xiu'er smiled and said nothing, and after listening to her nagging a lot, she finally said: "This fabric is not a good material, it is very cheap in the county, so I bought a little more specially for making fabrics. Covered."

When Liang heard what An Xiuer said, she didn't say much. She just talked about how good her daughter and son-in-law were when she met everyone. Raising her is not easy, these are what she should do.

It's just that there are no conditions in the family, and it can only do this for them at present.

But because she knew An Tieshi's situation in the county, she became more frugal now, and she wanted to make more money. If one day, her elder brother was really in trouble, she could help him.

Because of this, she even seldom lighted the oil lamp at night, but resorted to the method of stealing the light with fireflies.

This method was accidentally told by Zhang Zhen'an. He said that there used to be a scholar named Che Yin. He was from a poor family, but he loved reading. The story of becoming a great writer of a generation.

When Zhang Zhenan told this story, the two were enjoying the shade in the courtyard, and fireflies were flying in the courtyard. He wanted to find something to chat with An Xiuer, so he told her such a story. Who knew An Xiuer would take it seriously. , immediately took him to catch fireflies.

Loofahs grew in the vegetable field in the backyard of the two of them, and there were a lot of fireflies, most of them lay on the leaves, and they could be caught by lightly grabbing them with their hands. An Xiuer found a net for those insects that flew into the air. , can catch a lot every time.

Although the light of these fireflies is not very bright, adding up dozens of them can be worth as much as a candle. An Xiuer feels that the fireflies are quite good, unlike oil lamps, which are heavy, and after looking at them for a long time, they will become smoky. Human eyes hurt.

And they don't shine all night, usually after one or two hours, they will automatically turn off without even blowing on the lights. When the light gradually dims, An Xiu'er puts down her work and prepares to rest.
