Returning to Uncle Zhang's bullock cart, I unexpectedly met Zhao Qiming and Su Ying who were chatting with Uncle Zhang beside the bullock cart.
There was a very dazzling bicycle next to them, and it looked like it had just been bought. Zhao Qiming, who usually had little contact with Uncle Zhang, was holding the bicycle with both hands, chatting and laughing with Uncle Zhang.
I don't know if he saw Su Yun and the others coming over, but the chatter did not decrease at all, but became a little louder.
"It's all my father. He said that there are so many people in the village that if you want to buy something, you have to go to the county town to buy it. It's troublesome. Just borrow some money and let us set up a consignment store. From now on, if you want to buy anything in the village, you can go to the consignment store.
Already."
After Zhao Qiming finished speaking, he patted the 28 big bar next to him: "No, I bought this car today just to facilitate the purchase of goods."
Uncle Zhang looked at the shiny bicycle with envy, with deep envy in his eyes. With this big guy, it’s time to smoke a cigarette from the village to the county seat. How convenient?
Zhao Qiming saw Uncle Zhang's envy in his eyes, and he smiled even more proudly.
His eyes glanced towards Su Yun and the others intentionally or unintentionally.
The show off on his face is about to turn into reality.
Su Yun didn't seem to notice. She followed Xiao Lin and asked him softly if he was tired and wanted to take a rest.
Xiao Lin, who had already prepared Su Yun to be angry with him, looked at the girl next to him in surprise.
"What? You don't know me?" Su Yun smiled and glanced at Xiao Lin. While he was distracted, she took the bag in his hand and put it on Uncle Zhang's bullock cart.
He took out two small oranges from the bag and gave them to Uncle Zhang standing aside.
"Uncle, I will trouble you again when I go back."
Su Yun's smile was as simple as the warm sun.
Uncle Zhang held the orange and waved his hand sheepishly: "The daughter of the Su family is so polite, I feel embarrassed."
He drives the cattle cart and collects fares. He makes dozens or hundreds of trips from the village to the county seat every year.
Except for his own family, no one has given him anything other than fares, and he has never seen anything like candy.
Therefore, he was really embarrassed.
Su Yun smiled: "Uncle, I am already a member of the Xiao family!"
Su Ying, who had been glaring at Su Yun since Su Yun and the others came over, finally found a chance to interrupt.
"Yes, Uncle Zhang, don't you know that my sister has severed ties with the family because of this lame Xiao family member?"
As soon as Su Ying finished speaking, a ball of soil hit her feet.
Su Ying was so frightened that she screamed and jumped away quickly: "What are you doing? Are you crazy, Su Yun?"
Su Yun looked at Su Ying with a sneer: "If you try your mouth again, I will hit you in the mouth next time."
"Su Yun..."
Su Ying had never been angry with Su Yun. She was beaten so suddenly by her, and she rushed up to argue with Su Yun without even thinking.
Xiao Lin immediately stood in front of Su Yun.
He frowned, not angry but powerful.
"What are you doing? Stop." Zhao Qiming whispered and stopped Su Ying who was about to move forward.
Su Ying was forced to stop and looked at Zhao Qiming with dissatisfaction. She felt aggrieved and annoyed.
"Brother Qiming..."
Zhao Qiming glared at her, looked up at Xiao Lin, and looked past him to Su Yun.
"Xiaoyun..."
"You called me Xiaoyun too?" Xiao Lin lowered his face, his deep voice filled with pressure.
This reminded Zhao Qiming unconsciously of the days when four or five of his friends were chased and beaten by Xiao Lin when he was a child.
He also remembered the reason why Xiao Lin joined the army.
Before Xiao Lin went to join the army, he was the little bully of the whole village!
Because he was so good at fighting, he beat all the children in the village who provoked him. Xiao's father had no choice but to send him to the army when Xiao Lin was in high school...
Zhao Qiming thought of the days when he would take a detour when he saw Xiao Lin, and his hand holding the bicycle trembled slightly.
Some memories seem to be engraved in the bones and can still be easily awakened even after many years.
The deep fear of Xiao Lin.
"Xiao Lin... Xiao Lin!" In front of Su Yun, Zhao Qiming did not want to show too much cowardice, so he spoke calmly.
As soon as he called Xiao Lin's name, he was interrupted by Su Yun.
"You two are really a couple, you are both equally rude."
Zhao Qiming's face turned dark.
Su Ying was even more angry.
Uncle Zhang, who had listened to the whole process, had already turned his back to them and was feeding the cows.
Su Yun was not affected by Su Ying and his wife at all. She patted the stool beside her and spoke to Xiao Lin, asking him to get in the car and sit on it.
Zhao Qiming came back to his senses and quickly said with a smile: "Yes, after all, Brother Lin, you are not in good health, so you still have to rest quickly."
There is nothing wrong with this statement if you listen to it roughly, but it sounds wrong if you listen carefully.
What does it mean that Xiao Lin is not in good health?
Su Yun glanced at the smart-aleck Zhao Qiming and sneered.
This smile doesn't hurt much, but it is extremely insulting.
And Zhao Qiming also felt it. Just as he was about to say something, several people who wanted to ride on the oxcart had already come over, so he had no choice but to give up.
I pinched the bell on the front of the bicycle, got on it and rode away crookedly...
gone……
Su Ying:?????
"Brother Qiming, oh brother Qiming, I haven't gotten in the car yet, brother Qiming..."
Zhao Qiming, who had slipped away for a while, originally didn't want to pay attention to Su Ying, but when she chased him and called her, another idea came to his mind.
Doesn't Su Yun think it's good that she married into the Xiao family? He asked Su Yun to see what it means to be really good.
Zhao Qiming stopped and turned the car around, then rode back to Su Ying. "I was just trying out the car. How could I forget to pick up my wife?"
When he spoke, his voice was a bit loud, and everyone on the bullock cart heard him.
Su Ying lowered her head shyly.
"Brother Qiming..."
The bullock cart clattered past them. In order to let Su Yun see with her own eyes what a loss it was for her not to marry him, he asked Su Ying to get in the car quickly.
Su Ying sat down on the stool, and most of the tire sank.
Zhao Qiming didn't notice it. He pedaled his bicycle and walked forward majestically.
There was an aunt from the village on the bus. Seeing that Zhao Qiming's bicycle was going as fast as an ox cart, she couldn't help but joke, "Hey, Qiming's wife, you have to eat less. If you don't see me, even men can't move around you."
?”
Another aunt also echoed, "Yeah, the second eldest son of the Su family, you said you and your sister come from the same family, how come you are about the same as a pig waiting to be slaughtered, but your sister is as thin as a stick?"
"You've been robbing her of food, right?"
Several middle-aged women on the bullock cart were talking to each other, which made Su Ying almost burst into anger, and her hand on the back seat of the bicycle tightened again and again.
What do these old wives know?
"A few aunts don't know, but our family just likes a daughter-in-law like Xiaoying. She is blessed to have a prosperous family."
While Zhao Qiming spurned Su Ying for being stupid, he also wanted to find a way out for her.
Su Ying snorted proudly and sat back straight.
"Zhao Qiming." Xiao Lin, who had been silent until now, spoke.
