When Huang Yun's mother, Zhou Fenglan, sent away Sister Hua who came to propose marriage, she saw Li Shiqiang not far from the door and immediately asked sideways, "Li Erwa, what are you doing here?"
If the former Li Shiqiang had been asked this question by Huang Yun's mother, he would have quickly pushed Huang Lading into Zhou Fenglan's hand, and then left without looking back.
But now Li Shiqiang, who has lived for several more decades, will not be like this.
He walked forward with a smile, raised the yellow spicy dices in his hand and said loudly: "Huang Yun told me last time that she wanted to eat yellow spicy dices. Now that I have time, I hurriedly went to the river to grab some and brought them over."
Looking at the yellow pepper in Li Shiqiang's hand, Zhou Fenglan was happy at first, then quickly calmed down, and said in a neutral tone: "Li Erwa, there are so many people in your family, you should take these fish back to the house Eat it yourself."
This is not humility, but contempt.
Regarding the matter between Huang Yun and Li Shiqiang, she is the person who is most opposed by the Huang family. After all, the conditions of the Li family are not as good as those of the Huang family.
The Li family may have to wait until the Chinese New Year to have a meal of meat, while the Huang family can only eat once a month.
Li Shiqiang was not annoyed after hearing these words. He just walked a few steps towards the entrance of the courtyard and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw a pretty girl with an oval face and a black braid walking out of the room. .
The girl looked shy and looked at him with some surprise, and asked softly: "Why are you here?"
Huang Yun is not only good-looking, but her speaking voice is also gentle and gentle, making people feel very comfortable and comfortable like the flowing water of a clear spring.
Li Shiqiang lifted the fish in his hand and said directly: "I caught some yellow peppercorns and planned to give them to you to eat. I wanted to see you by the way."
Listening to Li Shiqiang's straightforward words, Huang Yun's expression became even more shy, and her cheeks were as red as two red apples.
She first glanced at Zhou Fenglan who was not far away, and then looked at the fish in Li Shiqiang's hand and said, "There are so many yellow peppers that we can't finish, so you can take some back too."
Li Shiqiang knew that Zhou Fenglan was watching from the side, so he couldn't say anything more, so he could only put the yellow spicy dices directly into Huang Yun's hand and said: "Don't worry, I have prepared some in the house, you can take it and eat it first."
After saying that, he left Huang's house with two steps and one turn.
As soon as he set foot on the mountain road home, a handsome figure immediately chased behind him.
"Brother Qiang!"
Li Shiqiang turned around happily and shouted cheerfully: "Yun sister! Why are you here?"
Huang Yun was holding a bamboo basket in her hand, covered with a piece of red paper.
"Brother Qiang, take these things back and eat them!"
Huang Yun opened the red paper and took out a piece of bacon as big as a fist and a sausage as long as a palm.
In Bashu, bacon and sausages are extremely delicious things.
In later generations, every household would smoke bacon and fill it with sausages during the New Year.
Even when visiting relatives to give gifts, I often give these two things.
This is enough to prove how important these two things are in the minds of Bashu people.
And these days, it’s even more rare to see bacon and sausages.
"Yunmei, aren't they just some yellow peppercorns! What are you doing with these things! Take them back quickly!"
Li Shiqiang looked surprised and couldn't understand why Huang Yun suddenly took out such a valuable thing.
Huang Yun snorted softly, lowered her head and looked at the red paper in the bamboo basket and said, "Brother Qiang, do you really want me to take it back?"
Seeing Huang Yun's unhappy expression and the red piece of paper, Li Shiqiang immediately thought of the matchmaker who had just come to Huang's house to propose marriage.
He stared at the red paper and said, "Is this the gift that the matchmaker just brought to the Xie family?"
Huang Yun raised her head and glanced at him coquettishly without saying a word.
In his eyes, there was no blame for him, just dissatisfaction with the Xie family's proposal of marriage.
Thinking about Huang Yun's experience in the Xie family in her previous life, Li Shiqiang also felt angry in his heart.
He took the bacon and sausages from the other party's hand and smiled politely: "Our family was just worried about what gifts to bring to your house to propose marriage. Now we don't have to worry anymore!"
"Ah! Brother Qiang, what are you talking about!?"
After listening to Li Shiqiang's words, Huang Yun stamped her feet, but a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and she covered her face and turned away shyly.
Seeing such a shy Huang Yun, Li Shiqiang couldn't help teasing her: "What's wrong, Huang Yun? Don't you want to marry me?"
"what!"
Huang Yun swung her ponytail, turned around quickly, and glanced at him angrily: "Who said I didn't want to?"
Although Li Shiqiang gives people the impression of being a bit like a boring gourd, his appearance is not bad, he is tall, his face is generous and handsome, and he makes the girl feel happy just by looking at him.
From time to time, some girls who have met Li Shiqiang ask people to inquire about him.
But when they heard that a family of eight people were crowded into three adobe houses, they all stopped.
"In this case, in a few days I will ask someone to come to your door to propose marriage."
"Who cares about you? Just do whatever you want. It has nothing to do with me!"
Huang Yun glanced at him shyly, then turned around again, waving her ponytail.
Looking at the ponytail jumping back and forth, Li Shiqiang also smiled, stretched out his hand to hold it and said: "Yun sister, I know your family doesn't want you to marry me, and they dislike my family being poor."
"But don't worry, before the end of the year I will definitely build a house with green tiles and red bricks for our family so that you can marry me gloriously. I have already identified you for the rest of my life!"
Listening to Li Shiqiang's sudden loud confession, Huang Yun felt her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
"I...I'm waiting for you!"
After leaving these words with difficulty, Huang Yun immediately covered her face and ran away.
However, when she returned to her home, she was immediately greeted by an angry Zhou Fenglan.
"Where did you take that bacon and sausage?"
Listening to her mother's roar, Huang Yun was not afraid and said boldly: "I took it outside and threw it away!"
"You! Why did you lose it!?"
Zhou Fenglan stared and raised her palms into the air.
Huang Yun's heart trembled slightly, she simply closed her eyes and raised her face, and said regardless: "Fight! If you can, fight! That Xie Laosan, I don't want to marry him at all, why do you want to accept gifts from others?"
"You dare to take it! I dare to throw it away!"
"Why can't you accept it! The conditions of the Xie family are so good! Do I want you to marry that boring gourd and then sleep in a cowshed?"
"Marry a chicken, follow a chicken, marry a dog, follow a dog. My old man's family was poor at the time, so why didn't you marry him?"
"I...."
"Okay, stop arguing! Is the meal ready?"
In the end, it was Huang Qingyun, the village party secretary and the head of the family, who interrupted the quarrel between mother and daughter.
"Eat, eat, eat! You know how to eat in one day!"
Zhou Fenglan immediately changed her target.
"Your daughter took away the meat we wanted to eat and threw it away, and she even ate a lot of it!"
"You're so verbose, where are the bacon left over from the Chinese New Year? Take it out and eat it yourself!"
...
Listening to her parents' quarrel, Huang Yun turned around and returned to the house.
As soon as she entered the house, she couldn't help but touch her red face.
Her temperament was extremely gentle, and she didn't know why she had such a heated argument with her mother just now.
When I think about it for a moment, I find it a bit scary.
But suddenly, she remembered Li Shiqiang's confession to her just now, and the corners of her lips unconsciously raised, revealing a sweet smile.
