Chapter 293 The Dust Settles
Xu Nuo's expression really scared Qiu Lin, she couldn't help but took a step back, and laughed dryly to ease the embarrassment. "Brother Xu, come in quickly, it's chilly outside, don't get sick from the cold." This is the first month, the coldest time.It had snowed in the morning, but when it touched the ground, the snow melted, and it couldn't become a climate.

Xu Nuo stared blankly at Qiulin, but suddenly his face turned to one side, he turned around and ran quickly.Seeing Xu Nuo's turbulent posture, Qiu Lin was really afraid that he would slip into the back of Jia Yang.

Why does this person look at her like a poisonous snake and beast?Is she that annoying?Qiulin originally thought about how to channel Xu Nuo's emotions, but he didn't appreciate it at all, so she shouldn't waste her expression.

Xu Nuo rushed all the way from Qiulin's house back to his own yard, his helpless heart was like a withered weed in the corner of the wall, letting the cold and desolate wind blow, leaving a desolate emptiness.

Heyi Niang stood in her yard, looking at Xu Nuo with a pale complexion, her heart felt like a needle was pricking her.He hurried over and grabbed his hand, dragging Xu Nuo into the house.Xu Nuo's hands were cold, and his face was as cold as an ice pick.The mother-in-law quickly dragged him into the house, let him sit by the stove to warm up, and went into the stove to bring him a cup of ginger tea.

Xu Nuo just poured the ginger tea into his mouth, regardless of whether it was hot or not.His posture frightened the Heyi girl beside him enough, and quickly snatched the porcelain bowl from his hand, and said sharply: "This is boiling water, it's no wonder that your throat is swollen and your mouth is foaming if you pour it like this. !" Seeing Xu Nuo's absent-minded appearance, He Yi Niang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.This kid is also a stubborn one. They tried to persuade her in turn before, but this kid just didn't listen.Now watching someone else's daughter get married, and feeling sad here alone, what's the matter?
Seeing the pale son in the other side, Heyi's mother also felt uncomfortable.Grabbing the promised hand, He Yi Niang held it tightly in her hand, and said earnestly, "A Nuo, you are a mother who understands the pain in your heart. It's just that now that Qiuyue is married, do you still want to humiliate yourself like this? You are also in your twenties, and it is time to talk about a marriage. Are you going to procrastinate like this?" Now Chang Shan, who is younger than Xu Nuo, has a son in his arms, and other people in the village who are the same age as their son He also married a wife and had a baby.He was born on his own, and his brain can't turn around. If he insists on being so stubborn, if he continues like this, will he be a bachelor for the rest of his life?
Heyi's father was also sitting on the side smoking a pipe with a heavy heart, thinking that other people's grandchildren at his age would be hugged.The stubborn one in my family has been married to several families, and I just don't agree!There are people in their twenties, how can this continue? "I'll call the matchmaker tomorrow to see which family's girl is not married yet! We don't pick on the looks of other girls' parents, as long as we do things neatly, be diligent and willing to work!"

As soon as this marriage was mentioned, the elm-like promise finally had some reaction. "Father, can you just let me do it quietly? I don't want to mention this right now!" Xu Nuo flatly refused!His mind is still in a mess, and now he has great resistance to the matter of blind dates and marriages. As far as he is concerned, he is really not in the mood to talk about it!
Hearing that the promise was rejected bluntly, Heyi's father's face tensed up, and his anger flew all over the place. "Don't mention it? Tell me that you are in your twenties now. How old do you think you are? Teenage? Why don't you mention marriage? Are you still thinking about that girl Qiuyue? You saw it today too , people are married to that worshiper of the Zhang family at this moment, what do you want to do! It’s not that your father said you, there is no hurdle that you can’t get over, the daughter-in-law, it’s the same for everyone after getting married and having a child It's over! Don't be stubborn, it's settled like this!"

As soon as Father Heyi finished speaking, Xu Nuo puffed up and wanted to talk back to his father.Seeing this, Heyi Niang couldn't help tugging at Xu Nuo's sleeve.He sighed and said: "Son, even if you don't think about yourself, can't you think about our parents who are half buried in the earth? What are we going to do in our lifetime? Isn't it just that we are counting on our children to be successful and have grandchildren in groups! But you are so obstinate now, and you refuse to marry a daughter-in-law. Isn’t this just making this family uneasy and embarrassing us? Just listen to your father and go to see your daughter tomorrow. After all, we can’t accompany you Your life, do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

The earnest persuasion by Mrs. Heyi finally made Xu Nuo's angry and stiff face relax a bit, and she said uncomfortably: "Father, mother, my child knows that this matter is settled and the dust is settled, and I have nothing else to think about. It's just that you Let me go to find a wife so quickly, I still can't turn this corner. I know you are also in a hurry, but you are not in a hurry. My child promises that we will definitely get married within half a year?"

Now that the matter of Qiuyue's marriage has been settled, no matter how much he thinks about it, it will only make the family feel more troubled.Now that Qiuyue is married, what he can do is to bury this love in his heart.

Seeing Xu Nuo's pale face, He Yi Niang's heart felt as if a knife had been stabbed in her heart. "Well, we don't force you to be in such a hurry, but you have to be careful yourself, marry a wife and come back, have a bunch of babies, and live a good life, it's better than anything else!"

Compared with Heyi's mother's earnestness, Heyi's father was furious, he slammed the cigarette stick on the table heavily, and made a piercing sound, loud as a fight: "Mother, your son is a way to delay the attack! Don't believe him! It's been a long time, and he never used this to prevaricate us, but you still believe it!" He Yi's father puffed up his eyes, and stared fiercely at Xu Nuo, his heart was filled with anger.

The mother-in-law's face turned pale, and she went to grab the child's father, "Hurry up and calm down, are you going to force the son into a dead end?" The mother-in-law felt that the person who tied the bell was needed to untie the bell, could the son think about it? The key lies in Qiuyue.Heyi Niang thought that it seemed that she had to wait for Qiuyue to return home in three days before persuading her stubborn son.

In fact, what Xu Nuo said every time was not intentionally perfunctory, but he was always stepping over this hurdle in his heart, and he was unwilling to let it go, so he could only shirk it again and again.Now that Qiuyue is married, he is working hard to get out of this quagmire, so as not to hurt others or himself.

Three days passed in a flash, and this day was the day when the newlywed Qiuyue returned home. Han Shi got up early to wash up, and then started cooking.After dinner, she didn't do any work, so she moved a stool and sat in the yard embroidering silk handkerchiefs, her expectant eyes glanced at the village entrance from time to time, but she didn't see a car coming, and she felt lost and upset again. rather.

Mei Xiang is pregnant now, and the doctor suggested that she should exercise and walk more, so as to benefit her future delivery.After she had eaten, she walked up and down the yard with the support of her two maids.Eat while exercising.Seeing my mother-in-law looking at the entrance of the village from time to time restlessly, I know that she is thinking about the big sister Qiuyue who came back today.Mei Xiang smiled softly: "Mother, it's still early, there's still a long way to go from Haitang Village, big sister and the others didn't come here so soon. You go into the house, it's really cold in the yard."

It was the bone-chilling cold, and if she hadn't been wearing a coat and a cloak, and holding a hand warmer in her hand, she wouldn't have come to the yard.

After listening to her words, Han felt that it made sense.Then he put away the sewing basket, looked at Mei Xiang who was struggling to walk with her stomach full in the cold wind, and said with concern: "Mei Xiang, don't stay outside for too long, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand the cold."

Mei Xiang smiled and said: "After walking these few steps, I'm still hot all over, I don't feel cold. Mother, leave me alone, go in quickly." She has a coat, a cloak and a hand warmer, The whole body is wrapped up and down like rice dumplings, only the exposed cheeks are a little cold, how can you feel cold?
Around noon, everyone who was looking forward to the stars and the moon finally brought the eldest sister Qiuyue to come.Han Shi was overjoyed and hurried to the gate of the courtyard.Qiuyue came into the yard, happily calling her father and mother; the eldest son-in-law Zhang Cheng was instructing his servants to move the gift back into the house.

Qiulin stood in the yard and looked at the eldest sister carefully.I saw that she was wearing a light pink embroidered jacket and a soft wool brocade inlaid wool cape. Her hair had been combed into a woman's head, and there were two jasper hairpins on the left and right.The pink face is full of spring, and the handsome face is full of shyness and joy from time to time, which makes people feel happy when they look at it.It seems that she has a good life in the Zhang family.

"Little sister, what are you doing there? I haven't seen you for a few days, so you don't know me anymore?" After exchanging pleasantries with her parents, younger siblings, Qiuyue turned her head and saw the little girl standing not far from her. But he didn't come forward, and he didn't call anyone.Qiuyue couldn't help muttering and complaining.

It was only now that Qiulin remembered that she was just looking at her, but forgot to call her sister.So he withdrew his expression, and hopped up to the elder sister like a rabbit, her face was already smiling like a flower. "Hehe, from a distance, it really looks like a fairy has descended from the earth; but from a closer look, it turns out that it is the eldest sister returning home!"

With those words, Qiuyue couldn't close her grinning mouth anymore, "You girl, when did you learn to be glib?"

Qiulin stuck out her tongue at the elder sister Qiuyue, and said with a smile on her face: "What a glib tongue, I'm telling the truth, okay! Let's stop sticking in this yard, and go into the house quickly. My elder brother-in-law is tired all the way, sure Tired and cold, Xiaoqing, bring two cups of boiled ginger water to the main room."
