Su Yingxiu poured tea. Aunt Wu was very thirsty and drank three cups in one go.

Su Yingxiu asked, "Why is Aunt Wu here?"

Aunt Wu put down the tea cup and let out a long breath. Her throat suddenly felt much better. She bent her eyes and looked in the direction of Su Yingxiu with a smile. There was a slight wrinkle on her plump face. To be honest with her,

"I'm here to kiss you."

Su Yingxiu was stunned.

Say goodbye.

Aunt Wu smiled and continued, "Do you still remember Cheng Ping?"

Su Yingxiu nodded.

Remember, how could she not remember.

Chengping, Zhao Chengping, was the benefactor who saved her.

People in Yunshui Village rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water.

Fish when the weather is hot and hunt when the weather is cold.

I lived a leisurely pastoral life in Nanshan.

She was rescued while Zhao Chengping was fishing.

That day, the boat she was traveling on was robbed and she fell into the water. The river was freezing to the bone. She thought she would die.

But he didn't expect that he would have a chance to survive by drifting down the water.

The first person she saw when she opened her eyes was Zhao Chengping.

Even the doctor said that she was very lucky. She held her breath and walked towards the door of hell for a while, but was rescued again.

The name Zhao Chengping was given by his father.

Zhao Chengping's father was a scholar, so he gave him this name because he wanted him to grow up safely.

Unfortunately, Zhao Chengping's father went to Beijing to take the exam and caught a cold on the way.

If you leave Yunshui Village, you will never come back.

Zhao Chengping has lived with his mother since he was a child.

But bothering others all day long is not a long-term solution. After Su Yingxiu recovered, she moved out and found a small courtyard to live in.

She was alone and didn't have too many requirements, so her life was simple.

Yunshui Village is located in a remote location, but it cannot stop young people from wanting to go outside.

Many young people in the village went out, and some older ones were left. When their families came back to write letters, those they didn't know would come to Su Yingxiu to read the letters, and then Su Yingxiu would write and deliver the letters according to their wishes.

go out.

Over time, her relationship with the people in the village became better and better, and she could teach the little children in the village to read and write in her spare time.

In addition, she can do some needlework, and her living expenses are not high, so she can live a good life.

However, as a woman, being alone in a new environment is very inconvenient.

In addition, she has a decent appearance, so if she doesn't look for trouble, trouble will come to her.

At this time, it was also thanks to Zhao Chengping's care.

At first, some scoundrels in the village had the idea of ​​beating up Su Yingxiu and even blocked the way.

When Zhao Chengping learned about it, he gave him a lesson without saying a word.

He is strong and has been hunting all year round. He is not a vegetarian with his fists, and he beat the scoundrel so hard that he couldn't even get off the bed for a month.

With this incident, no one in the village dared to take any chances with Su Yingxiu.

Even privately, Su Yingxiu and Zhao Chengping have become a couple.

Zhao Chengping's mother, Mrs. Zhou, thought so too.

No, the New Year will be celebrated in a few months, and Zhao Chengping will be one year older, but the marriage still fails.

Zhou walked around the village every day and could not hear the gossip in the village.

So, I went directly to Aunt Wu in the village, who I could talk to, to talk about getting married.

First of all, how can a mother not understand her son's heart?

My son usually never glances at other people's homes, but he takes great care of Su Yingxiu.

Mrs. Zhou didn't believe her son had no interest in Su Yingxiu.

Secondly, it is linked to money.

When marrying a daughter-in-law in the village, the groom’s betrothal gift is ten taels.

If the girl's family is in good condition, I'm afraid the betrothal gift will have to be increased to fifteen to twenty taels.

In addition to banquets of wine and meat, jewelry, etc., I might have to prepare thirty taels of silver.

Thirty taels, this is not a small sum for their family.

Although the son was capable of taking the hunted things to the town and selling them for money, they were not from a wealthy family, so of course they wanted to keep the money in their own hands.

So, I asked Aunt Wu to come and marry her.

Ms. Zhou felt that Su Yingxiu was just one person. No matter how upright she looked, she would be worth a lot if she had multiple scars.

Since the son is willing, he should regard it as an advantage and take advantage of it.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble, she can be allowed to hold a big fat boy in her arms next year.

Aunt Wu looked at Su Yingxiu and said nothing, her heart thumped, and she licked her lips.

"What? You don't want to?"

Frankly speaking, Aunt Wu thinks Zhao Chengping is a good boy.

There is no child in the nearby villages who is more down-to-earth and willing to work than Zhao Chengping.

But the facts are difficult to be comprehensive. The only shortcoming is Zhao Chengping's mother, Mrs. Zhou.

He was a stingy and mean person known from all over the country.

It’s easy to play tricks on people, but a mean person has the most decent and good son.

Aunt Wu thought Su Yingxiu was interested in the Zhou family, and said,

"The most important thing for a couple is to live their lives. Don't pay too much attention to other things. Just be patient and let them pass."

Su Yingxiu held up her smile,

"Excuse me, aunt, but I haven't thought about getting married yet."

Aunt Wu didn't hear her mention the Zhou family, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patted her hand and asked,

“I didn’t think about it before, but I should think about it now.

When a girl is old, how can she not marry?"

Su Yingxiu smiled.

If she had lived in this era since childhood, she might have thought so, but unfortunately she didn't.

She did leave the capital, but she never thought about getting married.

Being able to live an ordinary life is already very good for her.

She knew that Zhao Chengping was a good person.

But there is someone in her heart, and she can no longer occupy the other people.

Aunt Wu came out of Su Yingxiu's yard with regret.

From one end of the village to the other, Aunt Wu went to Zhao's house to answer the letter.

To be honest, she thought he was very good, he was down-to-earth and willing to work, but he didn't talk much and his life was like a dull knot.

Otherwise, she would have been able to express her true feelings when she saved the person, so there would be no need for her to come to her door in person to say goodbye.

When Mrs. Zhou saw Aunt Wu coming, she immediately put down the broom sweeping the yard and came over with a smile.

"How to say?"

She has a good son, a girl named Su, who will definitely be willing to give her a hundred thousand wishes.

Aunt Wu smiled and said, "If there is a good family in the future, I will remember Chengping and I will be the first to tell him."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Aunt Wu finished speaking, Mrs. Zhou's expression suddenly changed, her lips curled up, and she snorted coldly.

The weather is getting colder, but no matter how cold it is, it can't compare to Zhou's sneer.

When Aunt Wu saw the other party's expression change, she probably thought of something, so she didn't stay any longer, took the message and left.

But after leaving the Zhao family's door, I still couldn't help but sigh.

If she hadn't seen that Su Yingxiu and Zhao Chengping were well matched, and had Zhou's temperament, she would definitely not have come to play matchmaker to talk about this match.

At first she felt regretful, but when she saw Mr. Zhou's expression changing so quickly and not even caring about her face, Aunt Wu felt a little lucky that the marriage did not happen.
