Chapter 8
Wen Wan agreed to marry, and Mrs. Zhou is full of energy these days, and treats her more and more "nicely". Early in the morning, before Wen Wan got up, Mrs. Zhou had already made breakfast, and brought her to Wen Wan's room herself. When going to the town, I don't forget to bring some pearl flowers for Wen Wan.

Wen Wan knew that the Zhou family was coveting the Song family's betrothal gift, so she didn't criticize it, and the things that Zhou family sent were accepted as they were.

Compared with Zhou's "enthusiasm", Father Wen seemed much calmer, smoking a dull cigarette after returning from the field.

Wen Wan could somewhat feel that her father didn't want her to marry into the Song family, but she couldn't explain it to Father Wen.

First of all, I can't speak, so I can't explain so much.

Secondly, she and Song Sanlang have only met each other a few times, even though this is the countryside, she pays special attention to the defense of men and women, she can never tell her father that she has dealt with Song Sanlang, and she is the one who forced Song Sanlang marry yourself.

Otherwise, if it gets out, there will be no room for her face.

Fortunately, the speed at Song's house was fast, and Song Wei came to Wen's house in person within a few days.

Naturally, Wen Wan was not suitable to go out to meet him, she hid in her room, quietly opened a crack in the door and watched the movement in the main room.

Mrs. Zhou was called out by Father Wen to wash clothes by the well, only Father Wen and Song Wei were left in the main room.

Wen Wan didn't know what Song Wei said to her father, but only knew that when Song Wei left, Wen's father sent him out the door, and Wen Wan saw her father's expression softened a lot from the previous two days through the crack of the door , the attitude towards Song Wei seems to be quite good.

Wen Wan also saw that Song Wei turned his head and looked in her direction before leaving.

Those dark eyes, even if you have seen them before, when he looked at them like this, Wen Wan seemed to be back when he was caught in the pigtails in the village school, her heart was beating non-stop.

She turned her back and leaned against the door panel, stroked her chest, and waited for Song Wei to leave before pushing the door open.

Wen Wan chased him far away, but Song Sanlang had disappeared.

Originally, she wanted to ask what Song Wei and her father had said, but after thinking about it, Song Wei must not be able to understand her own sign language, so she gave up and turned around to turn back.

A deep and pleasant voice suddenly came from behind the paulownia tree, "Looking for me?"

Wen Wan was startled and turned around.

Song Wei's tall figure stood behind her at some point, staring at her.

"..." Wen Wan was a little caught off guard when encountering such a scene.

Song Wei lowered his eyes, and the little girl's eyes were particularly stubborn, as if she was blaming him for suddenly running out to scare people, he secretly laughed.

Wen Wan hummed softly in her heart, turned her head away, and didn't want to talk to him.

When turning around, the wrist was grasped generously by the man.

Wen Wan was stunned, before she had time to react, there was already something in her hand.

She lowered her head and saw that it was a thread-bound book.

"I copied it by myself." Song Wei said, "There is a thousand-character script inside. You can count from the first character in the order you memorized it, and you will know which character should be pronounced."

Wen Wan squeezed the spine of the book tightly, her heart was surging, and when she looked up at Song Wei, there was a touch of gratitude in her eyes.

In order to be able to match with scholars, she has always wanted to learn to read and write, but women have always been told about reading, and the books are too expensive for her to afford, so she can only go to the village school to eavesdrop, but after studying for so long, there is no progress .

Song Wei's gift was a great help to her.

His low voice came from the top of his head again, "You memorize it first, as for how to write, I will teach you in person after you get through the door."

Hearing this, Wen Wan's ears felt slightly hot.

After receiving the book, she made a "thank you" gesture.

Song Wei nodded: "As long as you like it."

Wen Wan almost thought that she had heard it wrong, she tentatively gestured with her hands: Can you understand what I said?
Song Wei just smiled and said nothing.

-

On the way home, Wen Wan still felt incredible.

There is no one around Song Sanlang who can't speak, the two of them have only met a few times, why can he easily understand a dumb sign language?This is amazing.

Song Wei came to Wen's house this time, and bought good tea cakes and a jar of wine for Wen's father, and two bolts of floral cloth for Zhou's, which didn't look cheap, and also bought a lot of snacks for Wen Shun.

Mrs. Zhou was benefited, and her eyes were smiling.

Father Wen was also smiling, but Wen Wan could tell that it wasn't because of those tea cakes and the jar of wine.

As for why her father suddenly changed his attitude, I'm afraid you have to ask Song Wei what he said during the day.

Food and clothes are not rare for gentleness. Song Wei's manuscript is the most precious gift she considers. After closing the door at night, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She lit the oil lamp and pointed to the words in the book word by word. Read silently, earnestly and carefully.

Probably because she was afraid that she might not be able to understand, Song Wei's handwriting was slightly enlarged, and every stroke and stroke was written neatly and very clearly.

His handwriting is quite beautiful, at least it is the most beautiful handwriting in all the books Wen Wan has read so far.

Because she stayed up late, Wen Wan got up late the next day.

It was rare for Mrs. Zhou not to show her face because of this, and knocked on the door himself, bringing a bowl of broken rice porridge, two boiled eggs and a plate of diced sour radish.

It is rare for the Wen family to have such a hearty breakfast.

Seeing that Wen Wan was in a daze, Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "The girl who is about to leave the house, she should take care of her. Our Wan Niang looks good, and if she is more tender, the Song family's Saburo might like it more. You eat quickly, After eating, I will take you to the town to cut cloth and make new clothes."

-

Thinking that she was about to get married, Wen Wan picked a sunny day, said hello to Father Wen, and wanted to go to her mother's grave to pay her respects.

Father Wen was in a daze when he heard this, and said to go with her.

The father and daughter stood in front of Wen Wan's birth mother Lu's grave for a long time. Wen Wan bent over to remove weeds, lit incense for her mother, burned some paper money, and offered a few pancakes made by herself and food picked on the way. Ye Guo, just knelt down and kowtowed three times to her mother.

Father Wen also squatted down to burn the paper money, and said a few words in a low voice.

Wen Wan heard it, and Father Wen was telling Lu that her daughter was about to marry into a good family to enjoy the blessings, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Father Wen doesn't talk much on weekdays, but it's really rare to be able to say such a few words in front of Lu's grave today.

Wen Wan has never figured out the cause of her mother's death, but heard that her mother was not from Pingjiang County. Her father was a peddler in the early years, and he went out for a year. When he came back, he brought a beautiful woman with a big belly People, that beautiful woman is her mother, Mrs. Lu, and the child in her belly is Wen Wan.

The Lu family died when Wen Wan was three years old. It is said that he died outside and his body never came back. The current grave is just an empty grave with a name on it.

After Wen Wan learned sign language, she asked her father how her mother died, and her father told her that they encountered heavy rain on the way back to pick up the goods, and the river swelled, and her mother was washed away by the river, and the body could not be found.

Wen Wan felt that her father might not have told the whole truth, but after asking several times, father Wen always said the same thing, so she stopped asking.

After burning the paper money, Father Wen patted the ashes on his hands, then touched Wen Wan's head, and said earnestly: "When you were three years old, you fell into a hole in the ice for fun. I didn't realize it, thanks to Song Sanlang passing by and saving your life in time, you can live to this day. Although he is a year older than you, he has a real heart and is worth entrusting for life. If you marry him, he will never treat you badly in the future you."

Wen Wan raised her head, with surprise written all over her face, she had long forgotten about being three years old.

Father Wen explained, "That was the time when you came back with a high fever and burned your throat."

After Wen Wan understood it, she felt a little funny. Is this fiancé the co-author or her savior?
