The next morning was smoky.
Xueer got up early.
She got dressed and ran straight outside the house.
As soon as she ran out the door, she immediately turned back and closed the door.
"Ah!" she stretched and exclaimed:
She held her nose with one hand and muttered: This smell - it's too bad.
"No, I have to go back to the house and wash up." She ran back to brush her teeth.
She brushed her teeth and wiped her face in a hurry.
She walked to the mirror - tidied it up twice and said: I think it's OK.
"Uh! Do I want to put on makeup?" She considered in her mind:
Suddenly, she straightened her back and whispered: Let's forget it! It’s not the first time I’ve met Aunt Aiju.
Why bother!
She turned around and strode out the door.
She walked to the door of Ping Bo's room and shouted: Ping Bo, Ping Bo...
Uncle Ping said lazily: Who is it?
"It's me, why are you still sleeping!" Xueer replied:
Uncle Ping heard that it was Xue'er and said: Miss Xue'er, the fog is so heavy today, why did you get up so early?
Xueer tugged at the corner of her clothes and replied: What do you think?
Uncle Ping leaned on the bedside and responded: Miss Xueer, go back to your room and sleep!
"Uncle Ping, open the door!" A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Xueer walked over, pushed the door open, and said with a smile: Aunt Aiju, come in quickly.
Aiju said: Good morning, Miss Xueer!
Xueer replied: Aunt Aiju, you don’t have to be polite! Just call me Xueer.
"I can't do it, I can't do it. You are a young lady, an upright young lady. How can a servant call her by her first name?" Aiju continued:
"Aiju, you and Miss Xue'er can sit on a stool! I'm going to wash up." Uncle Ping leaned against the door and said slowly:
Aiju took a step forward and said, "I'm going to serve the third lady. How can I have time to sit down!"
Ping Bo shouted: Are you so busy? You sit with Miss Xueer for a while.
Xue'er called: Aunt Aiju, let's go and sit in Uncle Ping's room.
Aiju said: Miss Xueer, I really...
"Aunt Aiju, the fog is so thick today, Sanniang is probably still asleep. Come with me to Uncle Ping's room to have a rest, and we can chat." Xue'er interrupted:
Aiju glanced at Xue'er and hobbled toward the room.
"Put the stool over there. You can take a stool and sit on it." Uncle Ping took his facekerchief and shouted:
Aiju said: You wash your face, we have to sit down and know how to do it ourselves.
Xueer got into the house and said: Uncle Ping, you are busy, you don't need to worry about us.
Aiju saw Xueer getting into the house and quickly bolted the door.
Xueer said in confusion: Aunt Aiju, why did you bolt the door! If you bolt the door, the air in the room will not circulate.
Aiju replied: Don’t you have something to tell me? There are many people coming in and out here, so it would be better to close the door.
Xueer praised: Aunt Aiju is thoughtful.
"Aiju, there is tea on the table. Please pour me a cup of tea." Uncle Ping placed the washbasin and called:
Aiju replied: It’s so early in the morning, what kind of tea do you want to drink?
Uncle Ping asked: Miss, do you want to drink?
Xue'er responded: "We'll talk about it later."
Aiju called out: Xueer, are you going to talk about the mound?
"Aunt Aiju is right, can you let me and Tu Dui be together! Let me be Tu Dui's wife, or let me get engaged to Tu Dui..."
"Xue'er, why are you in such a hurry! Didn't your father say it? Wait for some time..."
"Originally! We can be together. It's not a problem if I wait for one, two, ten, or eight years. But I can't stand my mother's ridicule. I made a bet with her. If I can persuade you, she She will not interfere with my marriage. If not! I will listen to her orders..."
"and you!"
"I know that I will definitely be able to persuade Aunt Aiju. Auntie Aiju will not separate me from Tudui, and Auntie Aiju will not let me lose the bet."
"Xue'er, why are you betting! Don't you think! What you're doing is childish!"
"I don't think it's naive. I think my approach is very novel and exciting. For me, the benefits outweigh the harm. At the same time, it can shut up my mother, and it can also make my relationship with Tudou go further. Doing multiple things with one stone." How can I..."
"Xue'er, you shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't gamble. Gambling has winning and losing. You will definitely lose this time. I can't let you win."
Xueer turned blue with fright.
Aiju continued: "Your mother has captured my character. After I encounter something, I will definitely think deeply; I will definitely consider it carefully; I am not sad, I will not say the word "wait".
Even your father...
"What should I do! I said it in front of everyone. If you don't agree with us being together, I will be at the mercy of my mother." Xueer looked in a daze and said anxiously:
Aiju buried her head and remained silent.
Xueer choked and said: Aunt Aiju, I don’t care what difficulties you have! You put it aside, you take pity on me and let me pass the test of my mother...
"Xue'er, please forgive me for my helplessness." Aiju held her forehead with one hand and said helplessly:
Xueer failed to hold back her tears and cried: Uncle Ping, please help me, help me persuade Aunt Aiju, I like Tudu very, very much, please let her help me.
Uncle Ping replied: Miss Xue'er, I don't want to ask about your affairs. Even if I wanted to ask, I don't have the ability, let alone the right.
"Bang" Aiju opened the door and limped towards the house.
At this moment, Aiju felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart.
she thought! There is a popular saying in the countryside: "It is better to demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage."
She wiped her tears and walked faster.
"Aiju, why are you walking so fast!"
Aiju turned her head and said hoarsely: Sister Afeng.
Ah Feng saw Ai Ju's unhappy face and said: Who made you embarrassed so early in the morning?
Aiju replied: No one can embarrass me! I met Miss Xueer at the door, and I couldn't control my emotions for a while.
That is...
"Miss Xue'er has a hard conscience, and her heart for your family's mound is a lesson to the world." Afeng continued:
Aiju called out: I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to the third lady.
"Sister Aiju, let's take a stroll here." The third lady walked towards Aiju.
Aiju said: Third Madam, Aiju is late.
Afeng said: Good morning, third lady!
The third lady smiled and said: "Sister Afeng, wasn't it earlier?"
"Haha~" Ah Feng smiled knowingly.
Aiju said: Third Madam, do you want to wear more clothes? The fog is so heavy this morning, be careful of catching a cold.
"Sister Aiju, don't worry, I'm wearing an extra vest, it can withstand the wind and cold." The third lady responded:
Ah Feng asked: Third Madam, please sit over there!
The third lady refused and said: I won’t sit down anymore, I will stand for a while and then leave.
"Sister Aiju, were you and Sister Afeng talking about Xue'er just now?" the third lady asked:
Ah Feng rushed to say: Third Madam, we didn’t say anything about Xue’er! I asked Aiju out of curiosity!
The third lady called out: Sister Afeng, do you want to put aside your relationship with me? None of us are outsiders, so you don’t need to explain it so clearly in front of me!
Ah Feng bowed and said: "Third Madam, your words are serious!" The servant doesn’t mean this...
"Then what do you mean?" The third lady asked:
Ah Feng responded: Now is a sensitive period, if our conversation is heard by others! Others then add salt and vinegar to it.
By that time, we will have a mouth all over our body and we won’t be able to tell.
"Sister Ah Feng's words make sense! Why should we ask for trouble!" Aiju continued:
The third lady took a breath and said: Okay! Let’s just talk about this weather, this weather...
"Sanniang, please help me persuade Aunt Aiju. I hope she can fulfill the matter between Tudui and me!" Xueer gradually leaned towards the third lady.
The third lady tilted her head - looked at Aiju and replied: This!
Xueer walked up to Aiju and said: Aunt Aiju, I don’t ask you what you have to hide! You must separate me from the mound!
Today, in front of Sanniang, I will kneel down with you. You should not only look at the monk’s face, but also the Buddha’s face...
"Xue'er, get up, get up quickly, you can blame me!" Aiju stretched out her hand to hold Xue'er.
Xueer replied: How could I blame you! Who can I blame you for?
I know in my heart that my mother is very bad.
Especially to your family.
When I enter your home, you inevitably have to deal with her.
At that time, I would be even more in a dilemma...
"Xueer, you are thinking too much. I didn't think so." Aiju interrupted:
Xueer continued: You are not thinking about this, you just think that I have a bad temper and personality.
Aiju muttered: Not really.
Xueer replied: You think I’m not pretty!
"Miss, you are very beautiful, lively and cute. More importantly, you are a rich lady. This is a man, and what most men desire, of course! The silly boy in my family is also among them, but, the one in my family is The silly boy doesn't have that kind of luck, he can only stare." Aiju responded:
Afeng called out: Aiju, your son's matter is originally your family's private matter. As an outsider, I shouldn't say anything.
But seeing how interested Miss Xueer is, I have to say something for her, can you change your mind...
"Sister Afeng, you know who I am. I will not do anything that goes against my will. I beg you not to get involved in Miss Xue'er's matter!" Aiju begged:
Ah Feng then said: But...
"Although, we don't know what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd! From what I know about you, you are not a hard-hearted person. Xueer begs you! You can still remain indifferent. It shows that things are not simple... "..." The third lady said:
"It's really not simple." Aiju replied:
The third lady continued: Sometimes, I feel like I don’t know you. Are you still the sister Aiju I know?
Aiju suddenly said: The third lady said all that, just to persuade me to change my original intention.
In fact, I don’t want Miss Xueer to be my daughter-in-law.
No way...
"Naihe Tudui told me that he will never have anything to do with the second lady in this life." Aiju replied:
Xueer's eyes were dull and she said hoarsely: You are lying.
Aiju then said: Why should I lie to others! You might as well think about it, you are two years older than that silly boy in my family, you are outgoing and carefree in everything you do.
What’s more, your mother has a deep prejudice against my family.
It can be said to be "deep-rooted".
Xueer choked and said: I want to see the mound.
"I won't let you meet Tudu, and I won't let him marry you, including getting engaged." Aiju responded:
Xue'er looked at Aiju pitifully and cried: Aunt Aiju, I'm going to shame you like this!
"You didn't make me feel ashamed. After this incident, you also changed your temper!" Aiju said:
Xueer's crying became louder and louder, and her tears fell down.
The third lady advised: Xueer, stop crying! This matter can still be discussed!
"How to discuss! Aunt Aiju said everything!" Xueer cried:
"Miss Xue'er, please forgive me, the matter between you and Tudui will not work out." Aiju called:
Ah Feng said: Third Madam, it has been dawn for a while, and I have gone to accompany the old lady.
The third lady replied: Sister Afeng, go ahead!
"Xue'er, go to my room." The third lady called:
Xueer didn't respond and kept crying.
The third lady pulled Xue'er and walked forward, stopping step by step.
Arrived at the door of the room.
The third lady called out: Xueer, hold back your crying, there are little brothers and sisters in the house...
Xueer sat down on the ground and cried very sadly.
The third lady looked around and coaxed: Xueer is good! I'll ask grandma for you! Please grandma cancel this bet!
Xue'er was still sitting on the ground, crying "Wow".
Aiju walked up to Xue'er and reached down to pull Xue'er.
Xueer stood up and cried: Aunt Aiju, why don't you let me pile up with the soil! Why don't you let us be together! Why don't we get together?
Aiju's eyes were wet, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Sister Aiju, the food is here, let's go into the back room to eat." The third lady called:
Aiju held Xueer's hand and choked with sobs: Let's go have a meal.
Xueer wiped her tears and cried: wuwuwu...
