Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 177 near the water tower
The weather was hot, Mr. Zhang sympathized with the students, and let them rest at home for a while, so Huang Lishu and his brothers stayed at Du Xiaoyu's house every day. Huang Lishu really thought it through, and never went to the north of the village to look for Qinglan again.

However, some things are often unpredictable. Today, Mrs. Dong brought Qinglan to the door.

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly asked Du Xiaoyu to bring them cold melons to cool off the heat.

Huang Lishu was teaching Fudan how to write, when he saw Qinglan, his hands trembled, and the brush fell onto the rice paper with a thud, and the ink was stained black.

Dong raised her eyebrows and smiled, and pushed Qinglan in, "What are you doing here, go play with Xiaoyu and the others, I have something to say to your Aunt Zhao."

Ashamed, Du Xiaoyu kicked Huang Lishu's leg, he immediately came to his senses, his face was burning hot, and he didn't dare to look at Qinglan again.

"Look, you've got Fudan's hands dirty, and you still haven't carried him to wash them." Du Xiaoyu said, "I'm going inside to change clothes, Li Gen, you go too, I'm afraid your brother won't be able to do it alone. Come."

Huang Ligen was puzzled and stood still, "Why should I go?"

"Go if you are told, otherwise I will tell my aunt that you used a slingshot to bully people again yesterday!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ligen put down the book in his hand and left immediately.

After sending the two away, Du Xiaoyu turned around and smiled at Qinglan, "The two of them are as annoying as monkeys."

Qing Lan smiled and sat down, "Are you reading too?"

"Well, there's nothing you can do if it's too hot. What about you, why did you come here suddenly with Third Aunt?" Du Xiaoyu asked, fanning Xiao Qingqiu with a cattail fan. This guy was sleeping again. When it was hot, Like a hibernating bear, she sleeps all day long, and if she continues like this, she will be able to pass the summer very quickly, very comfortable.

Qing Lan also looked at Du Qingqiu before replying, "I don't know, Mother insisted on pulling me here, as if she wanted to learn embroidery from Sister Huang Hua."

"Oh? Last time my sister was looking for an apprentice, why didn't you come?"

Qing Lan said bluntly, "I never thought about learning this."

The implication is that it was all Dong's idea. Du Xiaoyu looked up and looked forward. Dong was talking happily with Zhao, but she didn't know what she was talking about. It was obvious that her sister was recruiting apprentices before, so it was the most suitable one. Not to mention coming to learn embroidery at the right time, I come again only after I have been recruited... Du Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "My sister is not in the village on weekdays, how do you learn?"

Qinglan didn't answer, but smiled wryly.

Mrs. Dong quickly finished talking to Mrs. Zhao, and beckoned to Qinglan to come over.

"After Huang Hua comes back, you can learn a little bit. You don't need to be so proficient, you just need to be able to handle it." Dong said with a smile.

Du Xiaoyu narrowed her eyes slightly. This Dong family is really not simple. Unfortunately, her mother didn't know about Huang Lishu, so she agreed easily. If she knew this, she should have reminded her, but there is no rush. There are plenty of opportunities, and this kind of thing is not so easy to achieve, because Zhao Dongzhi is not an easy person to deal with.

Huang Lishu also changed Fudan's clothes at this moment. When Dong saw him coming out, he smiled and said, "Lishu, I heard that you passed the exam? It really is a study material."

Huang Lishu said a few words modestly, not daring to look over.

"Qing Lan, if you learn from Huang Hua in the future, you can make a decent thing and send it over before you get married." The abrupt Dong said this.

Several people frowned, Huang Lishu was startled, married?Is she getting married?My heart immediately became chaotic.

Seeing this, Du Xiaoyu raised her voice, "Third Aunt's words are too early. Sister Qinglan hasn't even made up her mind yet. Are you going to embroider?"

"That's right, isn't your Qinglan a few months younger than our little fish?" Zhao also said.

Mrs. Dong glanced at Huang Lishu, "Have you made a plan earlier? Although our family Qinglan is not as popular as Xiaoyu, there are people who come to see her. This girl is not good at work, I am afraid that she will marry someone else's family to her mother-in-law." Xianggong can’t even make a piece of clothing, so I thought of asking Huang Hua to give me advice.”

From the looks of it, Mrs. Dong probably knew about it. Could it be that she had seen Huang Lishu peeking at Qinglan before?It's not impossible. I'm learning embroidery by what I said at the moment, just to let the two of you get in touch more, right?Du Xiaoyu couldn't help but frowned.

Huang Lishu's heartbeat kept beating. Although he hadn't made a decision yet, it was a matter of time.

After all, a girl's family is no better than a boy's. It's not too late for a man to get married even at the age of 20. It's even more inappropriate to have fame and fame. But for a girl's family... what should he do?Thinking about it, he glanced at Du Xiaoyu. Right now, only she knows what he's thinking. Shouldn't he discuss it with her?When it came to fame and reputation last time, he really didn't dare to make decisions on his own.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Mrs. Dong said goodbye to Qinglan and went home.

Du Xiaoyu saw that Huang Lishu was sitting on pins and needles, and said that he wanted to go out to see the herbs planted. Huang Lishu just made an excuse to help, and the two went to the field together.

"Don't come to my house during this period of time, and read books at your own home with Li Gen." She warned a few words, but she couldn't catch Dong's chance.

"Her, is she going to get married soon?" Huang Lishu asked anxiously.

Du Xiaoyu sighed, "Do you think my aunt will agree with you to marry Qinglan?"

Huang Lishu shook his head, since he passed the government examination, his mother has had sweet dreams all day long, he almost can't listen to such a lady, Miss Jingdu, if it has to be like this, even if he doesn't take the college examination!

In fact, the people from Qinglan are really nice, but Mrs. Dong, Qin Tai, and Qin Zhixiong, who was a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, are really too unbearable. If we form a family with their family, I don’t know how much trouble they will cause. !Du Xiaoyu also didn't want this result, but she was not the one who should make the decision, so she had to ask Zhao Shi and Zhao Dongzhi what they meant.

"I will tell mother first." She pondered, looking at Huang Lishu, "If, if Qinglan really wants to marry someone else, you will..."

"No, unless she really doesn't like me!" Huang Lishu said in a deep voice, "I've thought about it in the past few days. You are right. I shouldn't secretly look at her, but it doesn't mean I can't marry her." She's gone, isn't she?"

"But auntie..."

"If I don't pass the entrance examination and fail to be a scholar, my mother should agree."

Du Xiaoyu was shocked, "What nonsense are you talking about?" She actually joked about her own future, but seeing the firm look on Huang Lishu's face, she calmed down and said soothingly, "You should read the book carefully first, I will give you a thought." Find a way." He was a little too impulsive, if Zhao Dongzhi found out that he was willing to be a scholar for Qinglan, it would be a big deal.

Hearing what she said, Huang Lishu heaved a sigh of relief.

Du Xiaoyu quickly revealed some news to Mrs. Zhao, and Mrs. Zhao felt uncomfortable when she heard it. It seemed that Mrs. Dong had intentions. No wonder Mrs. Qin often said bad things about her, but not everything was false .

"You can't tell her about your aunt's violent temper. Right now, I have to ask Huang Hua to be more careful. If you want to take it to school, you can stay at Bai's house. The two of them can't meet, and Dong has nothing to do." She paused, "It's Li Shu. Hey, this kid is in a daze. Your aunt seems to be able to get her hands on a few children. She beat and scolded them a lot, but she doesn't really teach them much. She is still conniving in her bones."

Just beating is really not teaching, Zhao Dongzhi often forgets after beating and scolding, why talk about teaching, Huang Yun doesn't talk much, it is not easy for a few children to develop the current situation.

"Then cousin really can't marry Qinglan?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at Du Qingqiu who was playing in the yard, and sighed softly, "This girl is pretty good, but your aunt has high eyesight, so I'm afraid she might not like her."

It seems that there is no room for change at all, so what should Huang Lishu do?Advise him to forget about Qinglan from now on?

This matter is really tricky, Du Xiaoyu thought about it, and it seems that the only way to do it is to start with Qinglan!

When Zhao Dongzhi and his wife came back, they had dinner at their home as usual. Mrs. Zhao said at the banquet, "Li Shu will have to work harder if he studies with Mr. Zhang now. I don't think he will come to our house anytime soon. These two children are really too good." Pi, always pestering him for fear of delaying reading, hey, it will be fine when he grows up."

Looking at Xiao Qingqiu's mischievous face, Zhao Dongzhi also had a headache, so there was no reason not to listen, so he hurriedly told Huang Lishu to stay at his home, and come over after eating.

After the children had gone out, Mrs. Zhao talked about Qinglan learning embroidery from Du Huanghua, intending to test Zhao Dongzhi.

"It's a pity, I think it's better than the two apprentices I found last time, and it looks standard."

Zhao Dongzhi laughed and said, "It's like looking for a wife."

"Her mother said that several trustees have come to the door."

Zhao Dongzhi didn't care at all, and said, "No matter what you say, you can't compare to Xiaoyu. There are so many families and I don't see which one you choose. They don't have a good family background, so what is there to show off? They are just a scholar. Son, and I heard that he is not easy to get along with, so what if a daughter is just good looking, she is worthy of some people in the village."

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao gave up her mind and stopped mentioning it. The main thing is that Huang Lishu is indeed still young and her future is boundless. It is normal for her to have high expectations.

When the two came out, Du Xiaoyu handed a bag of dried rose flowers to Zhao Dongzhi. She had been making this for a long time and had never sold it. Now it is good to have a restaurant to experiment.

"Isn't this the kind of tea you like to brew?" Zhao Dongzhi asked strangely. She had also tasted that tea, and it tasted quite fragrant.

"Take it and brew it for guests to drink, and mix it with tea."

"What? Why are these flowers so good for others to drink?" The tea in the restaurant is free, and everyone has a pot of tea. It's just to quench your thirst, not much different from plain water.

Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "People are willing to pay only after they like to drink, otherwise, no one will buy this. Besides, I don't need money for these flowers, I just picked them from the flower gardens to dry."

Zhao Dongzhi took it and weighed it twice, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but I think girls like to drink this tea, and it looks good when soaked in water, like blossoming flowers..." She said it was a pity, thinking I thought, "Why don't I serve this exclusively for female guests, and the rest is ordinary tea, how can these men know how to appreciate these things!"

Du Xiaoyu smiled and followed her.
