Outside the house, Xie Mingtu was sitting on a stone, with
his back against the wall, holding an old knife in his hand, the blade slid on
the wood and the sawdust that fell on his legs was blown by the wind.
He lowered his
eyes and stared at the wood in his hands, which was carved in the shape of a
comb, and then third brother Su's voice entered his ears through the gap in the
earthen wall.
Xie Mingtu stood
up, with dark eyes under his black hair, he pursed his lips and left.
…
It took Su Xiaoman a
lot of effort to send off the third brother Su.
She wiped the sweat on her forehead with the back of her hand, Su Xiaoman could
see that he really wished good for his sister, but he was too impulsive.
Otherwise, if he will take Su Xiaoman home it will make a scene.
—Doing things without
thinking for the consequences.
She opened the
lid, scooped out the fish soup inside, poured herself a bowl. Holding a small
porcelain bow in her hands, Su Xiaoman sipped the warm crucian carp soup.
Ah, her whole
body warmed up.
As soon as she
tasted it, she knew it was Liu Shufeng's craftsmanship.
This Su Xiaoman's life is much better than hers.
She has parents and brother who truly love her.
In addition to the
fish soup, there is a bag of brown sugar and four- five eggs in the basket. Su
Xiaoman plans to find a place to hide the brown sugar and eggs.
The wooden door
creaked, and Xie Mingtu walked in with his head lowered. Su Xiaoman glanced
back at him, and thought that this man always kept his head down.
…
Su Xiaoman poured
him a bowl of fish soup.
"You can drink
this bowl of fish soup."
Su Xiaoman is a
person who always repays kindness. He was the one who saved her from drowning.
He took care of her
when she was sick before. The first person she saw when she woke up was also
him. He also gave her rice soup. Now that she has fish soup, she should also
give him a bowl. It is not good to blame him.
This marriage was
not caused by Xie Mingtu.
The third brother
Su persuaded her just now that she could indeed go back with him, and even make
a fuss to get the marriage annulled, but if this really happens, she and Xie
Mingtu will become the joke in the whole village.
Su Xiaoman doesn’t
worry about herself, her family will protect her, but Xie Mingtu will only face
more rumors. After her running away, the ridicule and humiliation that he will
face afterwards is something she can guess.
The other party is just an 18-year-old boy who had saved someone
with good intentions. He should not end up like this.
"I don't want
it."
To Su Xiaoman's
surprise, Xie Mingtu, who lowered his head, refused. He didn't even look up in
the direction of the fish soup.
But at this
moment, Su Xiaoman suddenly found that the man in front of her spoke in a very
good tone, with a low and magnetic voice, a little hoarse, but he didn't speak
often.
Su Xiaoman urged
him: "You drink it, my third brother sent it, I've drank enough, I can’t
drink it all, the fish soup will be cold later."
"You can
think of it as me returning the two bowls of rice soup you gave me
before."
Xie Mingtu raised
his head slightly, looked at her with a surprised look, and then silently drank
the bowl of fish soup.
The fish soup is
no longer fresh, but it can warm the stomach when you drink it. There are some
sour beans in the soup.
When Xie Mingtu
was drinking fish soup, Su Xiaoman was sorting the things in the house, putting
away the brown sugar brought by her brother, and she started to sort out her
clothes, Xie Mingtu's room was small, it was almost empty, but there are still
a few broken cabinets.
"These
cabinets are mine from now on, don't move anything in the future." Su
Xiaoman pointed to the cabinets next to him.
Xie Mingtu was
stunned for a while while holding the bowl, in the future? What's next?
…she wants to
stay?
"Didn't you
hear? In the future, these will contain my things, so don’t move them."
Xie Mingtu lowered
his head and took a sip of soup, then nodded honestly.
Su Xiaoman
actually had nothing to guard against this poor, who looked thin and tall on
the surface, but was actually cowardly and honest.
The original book
said that he would grow into a big villain in the future, but now he is still
in the infancy of the villain.
He is still a
pitiful person.
Su Xiaoman once
heard that it is precisely because people who suffered a series of injustices
through early days their blackening will become more serious.
Before he turned
black, he must have been an innocent person.
…
About sleeping at
night, although there is only one bed in the house, but it is big, with an old
blanket in the middle, each of them can sleep on their own sides.
These days after
Su Xiaoman got married, they have been sleeping separately. Although she is
already Xie Mingtu's wife in name, he has never forced her to have a relationship
between husband and wife. This is also why Su Xiaoman was willing to stay.
It is also one of
the factors why Su Xiaoman decides to stay temporarily.
Su Xiaoman covered
herself with the quilt and closed her eyes. Xie Mingtu, who was not far away,
was sleeping very well. She was lying on the bed like an old monk, and she
could hardly feel any movement from the other party.
Xie Mingtu over
there was motionless, but Su Xiaoman turned over a few times, causing the bed
to squeak a few times, which became especially loud in the dark night.
She finally fell
silent.
After calming
down, Su Xiaoman was a little cranky. It was the first time for her to live in
such a rural dirt house when she grew up in the Su family. What will her life
in the village be like in the future?
—Collection of
chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan?
Real life should
not be so beautiful, it seems that there is a pig shed not far from this house,
raising two pigs...
I don't know what
time the pigs go to bed at night.
Thinking about it
like this, soon, Su Xiaoman fell asleep, but it didn't take long for the autumn
rain to fall in the middle of the night.
The pattering
autumn rain hit the roof tiles, and the wind at night was getting colder.
The roof was
leaking.
Su Xiaoman, who
woke up in the middle of the night, stared blankly at the i streams of water in
the room. There was a leak, which was actually at the end of the bed.
Xie Ming, who had
woken up early, picked up a wooden basin and placed it at the end, and the rain
fell directly into the wooden basin, making a rattling sound.
The pig shed not
far away also seemed to be agitated.
Su Xiaoman:
"…"
She suddenly felt
that she was too optimistic during the day. In such an environment, it would be
difficult to live a day, how would she stay until the 1980s? ? !
…
Seeing this, Xie
Mingtu seemed to be used to it. He went to get some hay and spread it on the
ground, as if he planned to sleep on the hay for one night.
Sleeping directly
on the ground…
"Come here, we
two can squeeze in."
Xie Mingtu didn't
dare to do anything to her, if he really wanted to do, he could have done it
long ago.
Su Xiaoman was
very sleepy at the moment, hugging the wet quilt and squeezing into the corner,
she turned her body on her side, and took up lots of space on the bed.
Xie Mingtu lay
down beside her, turned his back to her without saying a word. The rain was
still there.
Su Xiaoman quickly
lost consciousness and fell asleep.
Su Xiaoman slept
heartlessly, but Xie Mingtu, who was motionless next to her, opened his eyes
and couldn't sleep, listening to the pattering of the rain.
Xie Mingtu didn't
like Su Xiaoman.
The previous Su
Xiaoman also rejected and disliked him. They hated each other, but today's Su
Xiaoman, why has it changed?
Remembering the
smile he saw during the day, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he could
hear his own heartbeat in his ears.
…even he himself
became a little strange.
He glanced
silently at the sleeping woman beside him, got out of bed, and sat on the
haystack all night.
The next morning
when he went to work in the production team, Xie Mingtu's eyes were dark blue,
but he kept his head down and since his
hair was covering his face , no one noticed this.
Su Xiaoman slept
until dawn, when she woke up, the rain had stopped long ago, she stretched and
felt extremely comfortable, she hadn't had a good night's sleep for a long time
.
She didn't expect that
even though the roof leaked last night she could still sleep so soundly.
She was the only
one left in the room. Su Xiaoman changed her clothes, her long black hair fell
on her shoulders, she grabbed it with her hands , and suddenly saw a wooden
comb on the table.
It is a very beautiful
wooden comb with a simple bamboo pattern, is it her comb?
She didn't
remember having this comb, she held the comb in her hand and smelled a faint
fragrance, and suddenly remembered Su Xiaoman's comb from before, it was broken
when she was angry.
This comb... Could it be that Xie Mingtu
prepared it?
Su Xiaoman combed
the ends of her hair, thinking that she would know after the other party comes back.
Standing beside
the water well with the wooden comb, she hesitated whether to make a braid?
The well under the
osmanthus tree is shared by three or four families in the village. It is the
closest to Xie's house. Su Xiaoman pulled the water out and washed her face ,
and began to comb her hair.
There was no one
around at this time, so she guessed they all went to work.
A five- or
six-year-old girl ran out of nowhere, with a dark face and bright eyes, she
stopped beside Su Xiaoman and looked at the beautiful headbands curiously.
Su Xiaoman raised
her head and recognized who this little girl was. She was the eldest daughter
of Sister Xie Sansao.
She was about to
speak to the little girl, when another person came out of the corner, it was
the third sister-in-law Xie who was cursing at her yesterday.
