Chapter 6 Little Time Smiles
Xu Boyan came to the village to find An'er, but An'er and the Qi brothers and sisters went to Dongpotou to go to the fields. The cow borrowed Uncle Huang's work, and the farming work was too tight, so An'er and Ya Niang went to help them, and Xu Boyan also found her there.
During the busy farming season, hard-working farmers were everywhere in the fields. Qi Shui wiped the sweat beads from his forehead. When he looked up, he happened to see Xu Boyan. The corners of his mouth rose slightly. But then he thought that the sun in the sky was so vicious and he didn't come with an umbrella, but he really didn't know how to cherish himself. Xu Boyan came, and Qi Mu called him to wait in the shade of the tree because he was about to finish it, and he wouldn't do it either.
After finishing the work, the three of them went to the small ditch to wash their hands, and Qi Mu rushed to send the cow back to Uncle Huang. Because they would not borrow the cow again tomorrow, there was no work today.
"An'er, you don't know how to rest. Such a vicious sun is still sunbathing underneath." Xu Boyan said with pity. Qi Shui replied: "Young Master Boyan knows such a vicious sun, and he actually ran out here, and he doesn't know how to hold an umbrella." Qi Shui's words were full of care.
An'er didn't care. She drank a few sips of water and leaned against the tree to cool off. "Shui'er, you're not tired yet, why do you have the strength to greet each other with Young Master Boyan?" Qi Shui smiled and pushed her and said, "Are you little girl teasing me?" An'er smiled and shook her head. Qi Shui increased her strength, but unexpectedly touched An'er's wound. "Ouch!" Xu Boyan was so shocked that Xu Boyan immediately asked something. An'er didn't look at the wound, but said it was a trivial matter. He asked Qi Shui. Qi Shui was afraid that Xu Boyan knew that he had not helped An'er and indirectly hurt her, so he said nothing was wrong.
"Brother Bo Yan, why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
An'er turned her head and saw that this person was Cheng Yu, and she was shocked. Why did this kid come too?
Cheng Yu had already seen An'er and replied with a smile: "I'll come to find An'er!" Xu Boyan was surprised. He had just moved to Deming County for more than 2 months, so how could An'er know him?
"Brother Yu, why are you here?" An'er asked. No matter what, he had helped him bandage it. If he pretended to be someone he didn't know, he would seem stingy.
Cheng Yu said softly: "Come and see if you have deceived me, and whether that medicine can really save your life."
"Of course, I, An'er, won't lie to you!" The medicine period has not yet arrived, but it is true that it can save your life.
He smiled and looked at An'er's hand. It should be nothing serious.
Xu Boyan looked at the two of them. An'er was very nice to Cheng Yu and called him "Brother Yu". It seemed that they had a close relationship, so they had to ask again: "Yi Fu, how did you meet An'er?" Cheng Yu was about to speak, and An'er quickly replied: "I happened to encounter something that day, and we met each other and we helped each other." With such a thrilling experience, An'er didn't want Qi Shui to know, and didn't want her to worry. Knowing that she didn't want to say it, Xu Boyan stopped asking questions.
After Qi Mu sent the cow, he went home directly. Cheng Yu didn't talk to them for too long. He said that he had something to do and left. Xu Boyan accompanied An'er and Qi Shui back, and several people were talking and laughing along the way. The happiest thing along the way was Qi Shui. She knew about the pastries and dishes that Xu Boyan liked. Although she had never tasted them, she was very happy to hear him say that. In addition, Xu Boyan said that he would bring some next time, and after returning home, he couldn't sleep all night. It was not because he had something to eat, but because Xu Boyan smiled at her many times today.
In fact, his smile was for the innocent girl beside her.
Cheng Yu's home is in a yard west of the city. It is not very luxurious, but can be regarded as quiet.
Cheng Yu went to pay his father a favor. His father was lame and he was standing on a short stick when he walked. When he saw his son, he asked, "Have you read all the books you should read?"
Cheng Yu said: "After reading, I also learned all the martial arts taught by my father once."
Cheng's father was obviously very satisfied with him, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "A family like us should learn more. Your mother hasn't seen you for a few days, so go and see her."
Cheng Yu's mother, Huang, was wearing a green dress and was making clothes for Cheng Yu in the room.
Huang said, "You kid, I don't know where you have been going these days, and you don't even miss your mother."
"How come Yu'er doesn't want to have a mother, she just wants to find someone." Cheng Yu said.
Huang didn't ask who he was looking for. Seeing that his hair was a little messy, he took it for him and smiled and said, "Your father doesn't even tell you."
"If my father told me, my mother wouldn't be able to comb Yu'er anymore," he said with a smile.
Cheng's father walked in, Cheng Yu stood up quickly. Seeing this, Huang looked at Cheng's father with a smile. Cheng's father understood and said, "I've gone all the etiquette in front of your mother, but your mother doesn't like those."
Cheng Yu finally relaxed a little after hearing this. He knew that his father had no airs in front of his mother. He said something to his parents and went back to the room.
Huang looked at Cheng Yu's back and said, "Yu'er can grow up safely and safely."
"Isn't it Ping An now? I've told Yu'er to stop thinking about those things, but poetry, books and martial arts are the rules of the family, so he can't be called abandoned." Ping An grew up, and if he hadn't experienced those things before, he would be safer.
Huang looked at him and gently hugged him in his arms, hoping that he would grow up safely, and hope that such a peaceful life would last longer. She was not afraid of danger, but she was afraid that danger would take away the person she loved.
Cheng Yu leaned quietly against the edge of the corridor column. There were so many stars tonight. From time to time, a few frogs cries came from the pool. The sound of crickets came from outside. He followed the sound and ran out.
*******
After An'er sent a few clothes to Qiao Sanniang, she followed the path home alone, but unexpectedly, she met Cheng Yu, Xu Boyan, and seven or eight servants who were taking the path to Dongzhuang on the way.
However, Xu Qingshen saw An'er and Cheng Yu talking and laughing, and she was completely transparent. She had been spoiled since she was a child and had accommodated herself in everything. Only Luo An argued with him as soon as he met and opposed him in everything. Now she still shouted "Brother Yu" one after another, and didn't think about her being just a rural girl, and she didn't look at her status. She really didn't know how to live or die.
Because Cheng Yu was present, Xu Qingshen held back his temper and refused to mock An'er. However, the lady's temper still came up and turned around and left. The rest of the people didn't know why she left angrily. As a good brother, Xu Boyan chased her and asked her what had happened.
The remaining two people ignored her. An'er knew her temper. She knew that she was angry for only one hour. Cheng Yu was not very familiar with her and had only seen her two or three times. Besides, her brother had caught up with her, so she didn't have to worry about that anymore.
He took out a pack of medicine powder and said, "Your injury has not healed yet. Go back and sprinkle this on it. It will be healed soon and will not leave any scars." When he saw her that day, he saw that her hands were still wrapped in a strip and had to go to the ground to work. I guess her family was in a bad condition.
An'er looked at his hand and said that it would be cured soon and there was no need to waste his medicine, but Cheng Yu was reluctant to take it back, so he forced An'er to accept it.
"Since you have collected your medicine, I will invite you to eat dry cakes." An'er brought some dry cakes, and her mother made it delicious. If someone else wanted to eat it, she wouldn't give it to her. The two of them walked and ate it. They came to a deserted garden, where weeds were overgrown, and it seemed that no one had come for a long time. Cheng Yu climbed onto a seven-foot-high broken wall. An'er knew that she couldn't climb up, so she looked around and found that the broken wall not far away was like a staircase. She hurried over and easily came to Cheng Yu's side. Cheng Yu thought An'er would let her pull her up, but she didn't expect that she had thought of a solution.
"Why did you come out?" Cheng Yu asked.
"I gave Qiao Sanniang a few clothes. When my mother and I first came here, we could settle here soon because of her help."
"Your home is outside the city, can your family rest assured?"
"I'm not afraid, I'll protect myself."
Cheng Yu smiled. How could she protect herself? She gave her life so easily last time. She was too easy to deceive.
"Brother Yu, what do you want to do the most?"
He smiled without answering, just said, "There are too many things that need to be resolved. Each one is very important. I will tell you when I do it later." He looked at the vast sky and asked, "What about you? What about you most? What do you want to do?"
"I just thought my mother could live with me well."
It seems simple to be the case now, but many things will not go to people's hearts. God sometimes likes to joke with people. It does not want only sweetness in human life. It will make people experience many things and make people taste all kinds of flavors in the world. Perhaps, young people don't know that the world will change at all. Until one day, young people are no longer naive, they will understand that the world has never stopped changing pace.
"Can you play the piano?" Cheng Yu saw that An'er's speech was not as good as an ordinary country girl, so she should have some elegance.
"No, but I can recognize words!" An'er couldn't understand the rhythm, but she really liked it. That time she accidentally met Xu Qingshen practicing the piano. In fact, she wanted to pluck the string herself, but she also knew that Xu Qingshen had always hated her, so she stopped scolding her.
"Then I'll teach you."
"real?"
"How can you not count your brother Yu's words?"
Cheng Yu told An'er a lot of basic music. An'er listened very seriously and remembered it very firmly.
