His hand touched his neck, but Old Deng didn't know how to apply force.
Countless past events of the past few decades flashed back and forth in her mind, and she wanted to pinch it, but she couldn't help but let go.
Finally, she withdrew her hand and slumped down on the chair, with two drops of tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
She is still afraid.
If you are even afraid of killing chickens, how dare you kill someone?
But the man lying on the bed dared to kill and had killed others.
For a moment, cold sweat broke out on old Mrs. Deng's back, and she felt chills in her heart, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Forget it, evil people will have their own troubles, and God is watching.
…
After working for a long time, the afternoon river breeze was too hot. Sitting there motionless, I was so dry that my whole body was covered with sweat, which was very uncomfortable.
Seeing that no one was around, Song Qiu simply rolled up his sleeves, skirt and trouser legs to feel cooler.
Zhang Lihua saw it from the side, her eyes sparkling and eager to try, "Ah Qiu, play in the water? The sun is so bright, you are not afraid of it?"
In this way, it is obvious that you want to go.
Song Qiu laughed and said, "How can you swim in such deep water as this long river?"
For boys, there will be many people bathing in the river on a hot day, but for girls, that won't work.
"I'm just lifting it up to cool off."
Zhang Lihua, who couldn't swim, immediately stopped playing. When she heard that it would be cooler, she secretly rolled up her sleeves and trouser legs.
Old Yuan, who was watching silently from the side, his eyelids jumped when he saw the two little girls with their arms and legs exposed.
Fortunately, there is no one else in the tea shed, and no one will come in at this point.
Old Yuan just let them go for a while, and soon he urged: "Okay, okay, put it down quickly, what does it look like with your legs exposed?"
Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua looked at each other, stuck out their tongues, and quickly put down their sleeves and trouser legs.
After putting them down, the cages were much hotter, so Song Qiu took the cattail fan and fanned it vigorously, then simply got up and scooped up three bowls of cold shrimps.
"Drink a bowl and your heart will feel cool."
Mrs. Yuan here doesn't say that she is extravagant and wasteful. She makes the cold shrimp every day. She also knows how much pea flour is used and how much it can be sold for.
Just drink a few bowls, and it’s still within the cost, so you won’t lose money.
After eating a bowl of cold shrimps, it was really cool. The river breeze made people drowsy, and the three of them lay down on the table and fell asleep.
When I got up, passers-by came by and came in to rest.
It was another busy day until around midnight, when I closed the stall and went home.
In the evening, after everyone had taken a bath and had dinner, but before she fell asleep, Old Yuan followed Song Qiu into her house.
"Aqiu, I want to talk to you."
Song Qiu hurriedly pulled Old Yuan over and sat on the bed together, with a mat spread out and a cattail leaf fan blowing, so that both of them could enjoy the cool breeze.
"Milk, tell me, I'm listening!"
"A matchmaker came to our house today." Old Yuan laughed.
Song Qiu listened and thought that when she came back to pull the table and benches in the morning, she saw someone in the upper room of the Zhang family, dressed very festively, and she was surprised.
Is that a matchmaker?
Did you come to their house too?
Song Qiu was curious and quickly asked: "What is the matchmaker doing here? Why do I think she also went to Grandma Deng's house?"
Old Yuan knew about the matchmaker's visit to the Zhang family, but she didn't want to say more. She just said: "It's matchmaker Xiao who I know very well. She came to propose marriage on behalf of someone else. I've also heard about that family."
However, I think it’s pretty good, so I didn’t refuse and thought of asking Aqiu what you meant.”
Song Qiu had a dark look on his face. Now someone came to ask for a kiss? Why not do it so quickly?
How long has she been here? She has not yet completed her grand ambitions. How about getting married now?
Tsk tsk tsk, she really had no plan.
Seeing her satisfied look, she couldn't help but asked out of curiosity: "Which store is it? Does she think it's good?"
Mrs. Yuan didn't have any idea about these things with her granddaughter. They don't have many people in the family, and everything must be discussed between the grandparent and the grandson. Besides, she also promised Ah Qiu that she must ask first about the marriage.
Ah Qiu’s opinion.
Immediately he said: "It's from Dazao Village across the street. I heard about it from your Aunt Manju not long ago. At that time, I thought this place was pretty good, but I didn't take the initiative to talk about it. I never thought that it would be a coincidence.
It's fate, and their family fell in love with you, so they hired a matchmaker to propose marriage."
"This boy's parents also died when he was young. Unlike you, he was brought up by his grandparents. His family is better than ours. He has more than ten acres of land. This boy is hard-working and has grown up in the fields.
He is a good man, and over the years, his family has built a brick house, and his life is quite prosperous."
"As soon as you inquire, everyone knows that this boy is a good candidate for marriage. Although I have never met him, I heard that he has good features, good looks, and a good temper. He is honest and suitable.
Live your life.”
"I just thought that since he also has no parents, he and you can understand each other a little better. Besides, without a mother-in-law, you can take charge of the house by yourself when you enter the house. What's wrong?"
"Although you have big ideas, you are strong on the outside and soft on the inside. Even if you have a little temper, I am afraid that you will suffer a loss, so it is good for you to be honest and not talk too much."
"I think it's very suitable. Of course, I still have to ask Aqiu what you mean. If you think this person sounds okay, we can look at each other first and then make a decision."
After saying that, Old Yuan stared at Song Qiu eagerly, wanting to hear what she meant.
Although Song Qiu didn't know this boy, she would never tell lies. Just listening to it, she really felt that this seemed like a good marriage?
The other party's family has a simple population, just grandparents, and they don't have many people. They don't have parents-in-law, so if you marry them, you can be the talker and take charge of the family.
For her, of course she still wants to be true to her word even if she gets married, but she doesn't want to get married and act based on her mother-in-law's face. Having many sons, many family members, and many sisters-in-law is not her choice.
It's just that it sounds good, but it doesn't seem to be particularly exciting.
Song Qiu thought that it would be better not to go to see each other specially, as it would be in vain when the time comes.
"Mistress, I'm only fourteen in two months. I don't want to get married so early. I want to stay with you for a few more years! You promised me that you wouldn't marry me so early.
Out."
When Old Yuan heard that her granddaughter was unwilling, she sighed slightly, that meant she was not destined to do so.
She didn't force it, she just had other things in mind. She looked at Song Qiu, was silent, and couldn't help but ask, "Aqiu, if you want to stay with me, have you ever thought about recruiting a wife?"
Recruiting a wife?
Song Qiu's eyes were slightly bright, it would be great to find a wife!
She was also an only child in her previous life, and her parents also wanted her to have a wife. Unfortunately, they went on blind dates and couldn't find anyone willing to come, so they delayed her marriage.
That's great, but these days, there aren't many people willing to come to visit her, and her family isn't extremely wealthy.
This would delay time. Here, she really had no intention of getting married so early.
