In a corner of the market, there is a jewelry stall.
Looking at Liu Yue's angry look, Zhao Yufeng suddenly felt funny and nudged Liu Yue's arm with her elbow: "Oh, that's enough, don't be angry."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Yufeng took a hairpin from the stall, smiled and said to Liu Yue's head, "Look at this hairpin, it matches you so well."
"Tsk!" Liu Yue hadn't done anything yet, but the stall owner started to complain unhappily: "How can this be called a matching dress? It's clearly tailor-made for young ladies! Look at you, mother..."
Zhao Yufeng couldn't help rolling her eyes, secretly thinking that none of the businessmen could be trusted with the truth, so she put the hairpin in her hand on Liu Yue's head: "Okay, a few dollars..."
"Hey, mother—" Liu Yue was already angry, and Zhao Yufeng's kind behavior in front of outsiders made her even more embarrassed and angry. She immediately took away the hairpin, turned around and ran away: "Look at Just give it..."
Bang.
However, before Liu Yue finished speaking and just turned around to run, she accidentally bumped into someone else's chest. Not only did she fall to the ground, but the hosta in her hand also broke into two halves.
"Yue'er!" At that moment, Zhao Yufeng was shocked and didn't care to hand over any more money. As soon as the coin was released, he hurriedly went to help Liu Yue sit up: "You are walking without eyes!"
The person who was hit was tall. Although not strong or tall, he looked quite powerful. But this man's face was covered with stubble. Not only did he look unkempt, but his expression was also slightly numb. The long sword he held in his hand made Zhao Yufeng, who was angry at him, shrink his neck and tremble in his heart.
This person is undoubtedly Ling Yunzhi.
But at the moment, he was downcast and silent, and his body unconsciously exuded an evil aura that made ordinary people feel cold.
"Mother——" Liu Yue blamed her mother for being rude, and rubbed her head and muttered: "I bumped into someone else first..."
"You girl, you are so heartless! Turn your elbows outwards!" Angry in her heart, Zhao Yufeng was afraid that she would stop, so she just said it, but in fact she felt very distressed. The baby girl suffered some serious trauma: "Okay, okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. Mom, I'll rub it for you."
"Mother——" Liu Yue felt ashamed and angry, so she twisted her body and broke away from Zhao Yufeng's loving hand, then rubbed her head angrily and looked at Ling Yunzhi.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of people, in this corner of the busy city.
Perhaps, that glance was deeply engraved in his eyes, and everything external was no longer in his heart.
And the look she looked at him had an indescribable meaning: stars were flashing in her eyes, as if she was in a trance because of it, and she forgot to say the words that came to her lips.
He was silent about it. Later, he bent down and picked up the two halves of the hairpin on the ground and handed them back to her.
"I...help you fix it..." He was silent for a long time before saying this.
When she came back to her senses, her eyes trembled slightly, then she bit her red lips shyly and reached out to take the hairpin. However, with just one touch between her hands, she was knocked wildly, her face turning even redder after she dodged in a panic.
At that time, Liu Pingkuan also came after hearing the news, but did not approach. He just stood dumbfounded not far behind Ling Yunzhi, stunned at the sword in his hand...
…
In the river, on the bamboo raft.
Ling Yunzhi smiled with relief and said with beautiful eyes: "That day, even if it has been nine years... it still seems like yesterday, right before our eyes."
Ling Ye lowered his head in silence, but a warm smile quietly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"That day, I was a guest at your grandpa's house." Ling Yunzhi recalled the good times to himself, and the scenes of the past seemed to be before his eyes.
"The couple were very polite and enthusiastic, but she never dared to look at me, she was secretive and very shy... Well, she pretended to be full and hurried back to the room, leaving me sitting there alone. "
"What happened later?" Ling Ye asked softly, perhaps curious about the follow-up.
"Later, I pawned my belongings and built a new house for them." Ling Yunzhi explained slowly, with both humor and warmth in his voice: "Your grandfather was very busy outside, but the two of them were whispering in the shop. "
"Huh... She secretly looked at me many times, but she thought I didn't know. I also treated it as if I didn't know. I didn't want... to make her face redder and panic."
"Proposing marriage...going to church...the folks who came to congratulate me were also very warm and polite..."
"I drank a lot that day, but when I walked into the new house, it felt like a world away..."
"When I lifted her head, I felt her panic... But she didn't know that I was actually more at a loss than she was..."
"That was the happiest day in dad's life."
"When you were born..."
"I went hunting in the mountains that day. I didn't know you were so anxious..."
"When I hurried back, Po Wen opened the door to announce the good news..."
"Maybe I lifted you too high and you started crying and fussing...but I didn't feel noisy."
"That day, I realized happiness..."
…
Willow House, in the courtyard, on the dining table.
Liu Yue ate like a cat, and kept chewing slowly with her head lowered, as if she had something on her mind.
"Haha——!" After a glass of good wine, Liu Pingkuan couldn't help closing his eyes and shaking his head in admiration. Then he put down the glass with a smile, picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "This is how to live."
Seeing this, Zhao Yufeng couldn't help but sigh and shook her head, but when she saw Liu Yue's appearance, she fell silent again. After the silence, Zhao Yufeng went to pick up the vegetables first: "Yue'er."
Liu Yue made a move, but only glanced at her mother secretly, then lowered her head again to nibble on the food in the bowl: "Yes."
Zhao Yufeng shook his head silently. Although he was ridiculing Liu Pingkuan who was enjoying himself and didn't care about anything, the focus here was on Liu Yue. He put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Yue'er, don't think you're a nagging bitch." , Ye'er is about to become sensible now, and will soon be old enough to go to school. You don't know how to ask, and he doesn't know how to worry? I don't want Ye'er to be like him in the future. "
Liu Yue was silent while holding the bowl and chopsticks. She was distracted by her thoughts and couldn't help but bite her red lips with her teeth.
Liu Pingkuan, on the other hand, after drinking a glass of wine, said a rare and fair word in a carefree manner: "What happened to him? At least someone has contributed to today's good day."
"You're just messing around!" Zhao Yufeng slapped Liu Pingkuan's elbow angrily and retorted angrily: "Just the little money he gave when he proposed marriage? How much do you have left? I don’t know! You bad old man didn’t save any time!”
Liu Pingkuan was speechless, and then refused to pay attention. He poured himself another glass of wine and drank.
"All you do is eat and drink all day long! Have you ever done anything serious?" Zhao Yufeng felt angry and began to complain angrily: "If you hadn't paid for him, you would have only seen him once and only talked to him. Marry my precious daughter to him over a meal?!”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yufeng became bitter and started wiping tears: "I don't listen to what I say all the time, and I don't do anything when I have business. I just take Xiao Ye to play chess, fish, and wander around in the mountains... What if something happens one day? If there is an accident, where can I go to find such a handsome grandson? Is it easy for me to live all day long? I..."
"Hey, okay, okay!" Liu Pingkuan was impatient and began to pour himself a drink: "He can also support himself by hunting, why are you worrying so much!"
"I'm just worried! I'm just worried!" Zhao Yufeng retorted, and she was so angry that she doubled up: "If you don't care about my married daughter, I can't treat her like water!"
"Tsk! What do you mean I don't know how it hurts?!" Liu Pingkuang was so irritated that he even slapped his wine glass on the table: "I wander around the streets every day, but whenever I see a nice person..."
"Dad!" After hearing this, Liu Yue finally couldn't help but slapped the case and stood up. The two elders were so frightened that they stopped talking and were dumbfounded.
Seeing the two people looking stunned, Liu Yue suddenly became angry, but she was too lazy to talk nonsense and turned around and left: "Hey!"
"Yue'er!" Zhao Yufeng stood up in panic, but before she could go over to dissuade him, Liu Pingkuan slapped the empty wine glass on the table: "You don't care what she does!"
"You!" Zhao Yufeng was furious and immediately changed the momentum. But before she could open her mouth to speak, Liu Pingkuan said gloomily and angrily: "The male students are getting married, and the female students are getting married! If there is such a good idea, it is her turn to make the decision?!"
"You beast!" Zhao Yufeng was trembling with anger, and she was so sad that she pointed at the other person's head and cursed: "My precious grandson is not in your eyes...you shameless bastard!"
"Shut up!" Liu Pingkuan was so angry that he started clapping the case, which frightened Zhao Yufeng until he was stunned and speechless.
But at this time, Liu Pingkuan glared at the other party, turned away and looked elsewhere and said: "This kid is born to be rebellious! If he can't become a bug, it will be a disaster!"
"His father's origins are even more unknown! I don't know how many shameful and desperate deeds he has done before!" At this point, Liu Pingkuan still felt puzzled, but he was already drunk and became a little breathless: "In the future, I will really be able to cut off the two. , let him follow his father! No one can keep him! I said so!"
At the end of his words, Liu Pingkuan poked his chest bitterly, with an absolute attitude.
"You are such a beast...you are committing evil..." Zhao Yufeng felt sad and fell to the ground crying on the spot: "My dear mother...how could I marry such a bastard like you..."
"A woman is short-sighted!" Liu Pingkuan gritted his teeth gloomily and didn't even bother to pay attention.
…
Meanwhile, on the streets.
Even though she was far away from home and no one was around, Liu Yue couldn't help but stopped in anger. But not only could she not calm down for a while, she was even more angry with all kinds of grievances and complaints, and she immediately hid and left here.
"Alas..." Yuan Yuan Liu Yue left angrily. Several housewives gathered at the door to warm up and chat could not help but shake their heads and sigh, and then shifted the argument to Ling Yunzhi's family of three.
"Oh, what a wonderful girl this month is. Why do we have such a shameless couple?" The middle-aged woman holding the baby was the first to speak, looking out of sight and out of mind.
"Say that again..." The other person shook his head slightly and said while chewing melon seeds: "Don't you know what kind of virtue this Liu Erdan is?"
"It's useless to know, who doesn't know? Do you care..." The former rolled his eyes, and then couldn't help but shake his head.
"And..." Another housewife said without raising her head while embroidering insoles: "Look at Ling Yunzhi, he has so many tendons and muscles that he can feed a whole family just by hunting, and he can also hunt. Fishing bamboo is nothing like the things we have no eyes for..."
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Another housewife shook her head and smiled evilly, then poked the person next to her twice with her elbow: "Look at this bitch, she went to the river to peek at people taking a bath on time."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed, but it didn't hurt their kindness.
"That's nonsense!" The housewife who was embroidering insoles twisted her body angrily, and said with white eyes to the other person: "What do you mean peeking? You've never seen it."
"Alas..." The former sighed, and put the cut fabric in his hand into the bamboo dustpan: "The couple is still not happy like this. They are dissatisfied with the lack of money all day long... Whose family has taken a daughter and still has it? You have the obligation to pay your mother's family regularly..."
"I said so..."
"Oh, I feel sorry for Xiao Ye... A group of jealous ghosts are poking at the back every day. What if Xiao Ye, a kid, hears this..."
"well……"
