The beautiful pastoral field of Jiangmen girl

Chapter 156 Miss Aqin (2)
Needless to say, small merchants and peddlers, the number of older girls and younger daughters-in-law who came to the market with the elders or men in the family increased sharply, and they were dressed neatly and freshly one by one.When passing the snack shop, their small eyes may fly boldly or secretly to the booming snack shop from time to time, hoping that the shopkeeper or the shopkeeper who is busy in the shop will come out, especially the shopkeeper. They glanced.

The young, unmarried shopkeeper of the snack shop is now the best husband-in-law candidate in the hearts of girls from ten miles and eight villages.Naturally, he is also the best candidate for son-in-law in the eyes of old women who have Yunying's unmarried girl at home, and the best candidate for sister-in-law in the eyes of young women.

The news that Gu Yuanhe is unmarried and is looking for a wife, and the news that Gu Yuanhe is now the shopkeeper of the snack shop in the town, anyone who is well-informed knows it.This is all due to Mrs. Cheng and Cheng Yaren.The couple were entrusted by Qingshu, so Gu Yuanhe would say a few words with each other whenever they met.In this way, it will be difficult not to spread the news.

Gu Pingxiu came to the market today with his mother and younger brother.When passing by the snack shop, she lowered her head, and her steps were much faster than usual.Seeing her daughter like this, Gu Pingxiu's mother couldn't help sighing, she reached out and grabbed the arm of her daughter who was walking away hurriedly, "Xiu'er, wait for your brother."

Gu Pingxiu hummed softly and slowed down, but still refused to look up.

Nine-year-old Gu Pingkang, who was lagging behind, suddenly ran forward, snatched the basket of odds and ends in his sister's hand, and strode towards the snack shop.

Gu Pingxiu was taken aback, and when she realized what her brother was going to do, her eyes immediately turned red, "Akang, come back quickly." She didn't dare to chase after him.

The mother was also taken aback, and hurriedly called: "Come back soon, Akang, don't cause trouble."

Gu Pingkang, who had already run to the door of the snack shop, looked back at his mother and sister, made a grimace, opened the door and went in.

Although it was a boy in common clothes who entered the door, Wu Xiaoshan still greeted him with a smile on his face, "Brother, is he alone? Do you want to buy bean sprouts and bean paste buns to take away or eat here?"

It was the first time for Gu Pingkang to eat in a restaurant. There were a lot of customers, the shop was newly renovated, and the staff were so enthusiastic that he was at a loss for what to do.Smelling the aroma of food and being nervous, he swallowed unconsciously.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Wu Xiaoshan asked again patiently.

Gu Pingkang blushed, didn't dare to look around, lowered his head, and whispered, "I, I'm looking for Yuan, Brother Yuanhe."

Wu Xiaoshan listened, smiled and brought a wooden stool from the side, and put it on the side avoiding the doorway, "You sit here, I will call the shopkeeper for you."

Gu Pingkang looked uneasy and dared not sit down.Wu Xiaoshan smiled, pulled his arm, and pushed him to sit on the stool, "What's your name?"

"Akon."

Wu Xiaoshan first served a plate of steamed buns to a table of guests, just waiting for Gu Yuanhe to come out from behind, so he went forward and whispered to Gu Yuanhe that someone was looking for him, and pointed to the left side of the door.

Gu Yuanhe nodded to show that he understood, put away the list in his hand, and then came out from behind the counter, and walked up to Gu Pingkang who had a disturbed expression on his face, "Akang."

Gu Pingkang immediately raised his head, stood up abruptly, and shouted nervously, "Brother Yuanhe."

Gu Yuanhe smiled and said: "You kid also has such an honest time. Just you? What about the adults at home?"

Hearing this, Gu Pingkang felt that the person in front of him was the brother Yuanhe he knew, and suddenly he relaxed, and grinned, "My mother and my sister came to the market, so I came running." Jinti rummaged through the basket in his hand, quickly took out a pair of cotton shoes, and stuffed them into Gu Yuanhe's hands, "No, my sister made them for you."

Gu Yuanhe was startled, the smile on his face faded a bit, he put the cotton shoes in his hand back into the basket, and patted Gu Pingkang on the shoulder, "Akang, brother Yuanhe can't have it."

Gu Pingkang was puzzled, "Why?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, Gu Yuanhe spoke in a low voice, "Akang, if it spreads, your sister's reputation will be bad. Do you want your sister to cry? Can you watch others speak ill of your sister?" The third grandma agreed to his marriage proposal, so there is nothing wrong with him taking this pair of cotton shoes. The key point is that the third grandma didn't agree, and he also gave up the idea of ​​getting married.He is a decent person, even if the marriage fails, he can't let Gu Pingxiu be criticized.

Gu Pingkang immediately drooped his head, "But, but, my sister is secretly crying."

In this regard, Gu Yuanhe knew that there was nothing he could do.He said wait a minute, went back, wrapped three steaming meat buns in oiled paper, put them in the basket, and patted Gu Pingkang on the shoulder, "From now on, take good care of my sister. There are buns inside, eat them while they are hot." Go, you must have come here secretly, don't let your mother worry."

Gu Pingkang didn't want buns, Gu Yuanhe grabbed his hand, "Akang, if you want to call me brother in the future, then take it."

Finally, Gu Pingkang walked away step by step.Gu Yuanhe sent him out of the food shop, looked up and saw Gu Pingxiu who was standing far away and looking here from time to time, his eyes darkened, and he turned back to the shop.

It so happened that several older girls and younger daughters-in-law passed by here, and one of the pretty girls recognized Gu Yuanhe and Gu Pingkang, her eyes followed Gu Pingkang thoughtfully, then saw Gu Pingxiu, and sneered speak out.

The companion asked the girl why she was laughing, the girl pouted and said nothing, but she hated Gu Pingxiu in her heart.Normally, this girl liked Gu Pingxiu very much, but after hearing that Gu Pingxiu's family rejected Gu Yuanhe's marriage proposal, she began to hate Gu Pingxiu.

After closing the shop and returning home in the afternoon, Gu Yuanhe didn't mention to anyone that he saw Gu Pingkang and Gu Pingxiu today.

When Gu Pingxiu and the others returned home, they never said anything about what happened today.This was confessed by Gu Pingxiu's mother, and she specifically told her son not to show his mouth, otherwise grandma would be angry and grandpa would be even more angry.

Gu Pingkang promised well, but in the end he couldn't bear it. He lay next to his grandfather and whispered to him when he was sleeping at night, and told him about seeing Gu Yuanhe.The third grandfather lay on the kang, without speaking for a long time, stretched out his hand to pull the quilt, and covered the quilt tightly for the grandson who was already sleeping soundly.Ever since he started to lose mobility, several grandchildren began to take turns sleeping next to him to help him get off the kang at night.Among several grandchildren, Gu Pingkang is the one who is closest to him and loves to sleep next to him the most.

Mrs. Cheng came to propose marriage for Gu Yuanhe, and the third grandma said something like that. After the third grandpa found out, he lost his temper and had a big fight with the third grandma.The third grandpa confessed to his family that if Mrs. Cheng came again, she would bring her to see him directly, and the third grandma was not allowed to interfere in her granddaughter's marriage.Unexpectedly, after Mrs. Cheng went back, she never came again.For this reason, Third Grandpa hasn't spoken to Third Grandma for a long time.
