On February 2nd, the dragon raises its head, which is a big solar term for farming, mulberry and spring plowing, also called Huachao Festival.

The weather is warm, the fruit trees and flowers in the countryside are in full bloom, and the spring is full of vitality. The people in the city like to travel together for a spring outing. Although people in the village are not as leisurely and happy as those in the city, they will pick flowers to make some wreaths and decorations to sell in the city during this festival, or set up a small stall in an area full of tourists to earn a little money.

On this day, young people will also date their favorite people.

When Xu He woke up early in the morning, he saw that his sister had also woken up early for the first time, and she was dressing up in front of the mirror in the room, finding out several sets of clothes for comparison.

Even if Fei Lian returned to the academy, the two of them would not be able to meet each other today, and her second sister would dress up carefully during the Huachao Festival every year, and she would receive many things on this day every year. Thinking about it, this year's Huachao Festival will be the last time his second sister will receive gifts. After all, they will not be able to ask for gifts after they get married, so they have to take care of it.

Xu He sat under the stove and boiled hot water. He rubbed his face. Last night he also washed himself well. In the morning, he took the opportunity to take a look in the mirror when he went to her second sister's room to get things. No matter how he washed it, his face was still dark, and he was a little discouraged.

"Brother He, you have to remember to feed the chickens and ducks today. I'm going out for a while. I may be late." Liu Xianglan came over and confessed that his father hadn't come back for several days after he went to work in other villages. Send something, maybe her mother is going to the aunt's house in the city.

He didn't bother to ask, nodded, and was about to open the door and go out to release the ducks into the field.

"You should tidy up a bit and go out during the Huachao Festival. Today, young people in and out of the village are out." Bie's family warned their children not to go out all the time during the Huachao Festival, lest they behave like the same age and the opposite sex. something out of the ordinary.

Liu Xianglan, on the other hand, wished that Xu He would go out and find a man who could marry him, so as not to have a matchmaker to come to propose marriage to him, and then he would have to bring things to the matchmaker himself, which would be too troublesome.

Xu He didn't speak, Xu Shaochun shouted in the room: "Mother, come and see if my dress looks good."

"coming!"

When Xu He went out, the village looked like New Year's Eve. Everyone was beaming and dressed brightly, and many of them even had flowers on their hair. There are people everywhere in the field, whether it is planting melons or ordering beans, everyone has cleaned up and come out to cultivate. It is much more meticulous than the usual disheveled appearance. The work is just to cover up. It is true to go out and see each other. of.

He looked around, but he didn't see the figure of the man, and he didn't know if he was in the village.

"Let's go quickly, I haven't been out of the village for some days, and all the good positions on the official road will be snatched up later."

Holding a basket filled with flowers, Xu Shaochun urged Xu He who was carrying a basket on his back. The siblings seldom went out together. People in the village saw Xu Shaochun in a light yellow skirt and beaded rings from a long distance, and Xu He, who was in plain linen, looked even more glamorous and charming.

Along the way, people came to ask: "Shaochun, are you brothers and sisters going to sell wreaths on the official road?"

"Yeah, I made some garlands, so I can subsidize some household expenses."

"You are really sensible and virtuous..."

Xu He walked forward quickly with her head depressed. Her second sister said she wanted to go to the official road quickly, but it turned out that she had a good chat with the men in the village all the way. It took a quarter of an hour to get to the official road. It was a hard walk. Stick incense.

The two of them also came to sell flower decorations in previous years. Xu He was skillful, and the garlands he weaved were beautiful and tight. The ladies and gentlemen in the city all liked them, and some even got off the carriage to choose them in person.

There are many more people on the official road today than usual when going to the market. You can see many luxurious carriages and horses in the city, and the nobles and ladies in the city are overwhelming.

Xu He put down his back basket and started selling. Xu Shaochun felt that such yelling was a bit indecent, so he usually stood beside him, waiting for Xu He to yell and someone came to greet him. In the past, she was also able to be admired by noble young masters who came to pick flowers, but it's a pity that people in the city only value good conditions and pay attention to a well-matched family, much more than their rural counterparts.

Even if some people thought about asking her name, but they were also young masters who were already married, so getting involved with her could only be a disaster, and they could not be good husbands and wives, so it would be better to find a good family in the village.

It was her aunt Liu Xiangmei, who lived in the city and knew some big families in the city, but she never told her about the people in the city. There are also many people here, and there is no reason to look for people in the countryside.

I can't read, and I haven't learned how to be a director and housekeeper. With my beauty, I am happy to be a concubine to a rich family in the city, but if I want to be a regular wife, I don't think they will look at me seriously.

Over time, she stopped thinking about those things.

Xu Shaochun was a little hot all the way out, she gently fanned the wind with her hands, and looked at Xu He who had nothing to say at home, came out to sell but yelled vigorously, she was a little puzzled.

The dusty little farm boy is more and more ordinary under the background of the BMW car, but on his hair... "He Geer, when did you buy such a hair tie? Why have you never used it before?" Pass?"

Xu He was much taller than Xu Shaochun, and she hadn't looked at Xu He much in normal times, but now she was immersed in arranging the wreaths, and accidentally saw a silk hairband on his head, so she couldn't help asking.

"For the first time."

Xu He replied that he didn't want to introduce the origin of his hairband to Xu Shaochun.

Xu Shaochun felt a little uncomfortable. She had seen many good things, so she naturally knew the price of a silk headband. Previously, she saw a white silk headband in a shop in the city cost more than 80 yuan, and she was not willing to buy it. Well, the one on He Ge'er's head still has a pattern, even if it is tied up, it can be seen to be delicate, it must not be lower than Baiwen.

She didn't think that Xu He would have so much money on him, and even if he had so much, she wouldn't be willing to buy a hair tie with it.

"Where did you come from, more than a hundred words."

Xu He was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the hair tie on his head. He thought it was not cheap, but he never thought it would be so expensive. Zhang Fangyuan is too good at spending money, how can he be so generous.

"Um?"

Seeing that Xu He didn't speak, Xu Shaochun tilted his head and continued to ask.

"Given by someone else."

Xu Shaochun twitched his eyebrows, and was about to speak, but two young ladies came to buy wreaths and interrupted her. There was a lot of discomfort in her heart, but she could only bear to greet these ladies and gentlemen.

The two of them had been busy for a long time, today's garlands were particularly easy to sell, but they were not very happy to see them, until they were sold out, Xu Shaochun couldn't help but said: "Did you take my things?"

Xu He frowned, and he picked up the empty backpack, and said in a somewhat aggressive tone, "I never take your things privately for my own use!"

"Second Sister is just concerned about you, afraid that you will go astray, why are you so fierce." Xu Shaochun showed aggrieved face, but still did not forget to ask: "Who gave you that?"

Xu He didn't respond to her words, and walked to the front alone with a basket on his back, Xu Shaochun chased after him: "If you want to continue like this, don't blame me and tell mother."

"Whatever you say."

Xu Shaochun was out of breath and wanted to stomp her feet to get angry, but someone came up to greet her, so she had to swallow her anger back.

Xu He took the opportunity to slip away.

In the evening, after Xu He had dinner, his mother hadn't come back yet. Seeing his second sister glaring at him like a black-eyed chicken, Xu He choked her, "Second sister kept asking what she was doing, and the left and right gifts were piled up like mountains, what? There are no good things, maybe you still want a hair tie from me."

Xu Shaochun's cheeks flushed when he heard the words: "I have more hair ties! How could I want you!"

After hearing this, Xu He took two big mouthfuls of rice, implying that this was all. Xu Shaochun was so **** off by Xu He, knowing that my younger brother's speech was always ugly, without her mother at home to help her speak, it was really even more irritating. She was so angry that she lost her chopsticks, didn't eat, and went Get off the table.

Xu He didn't even raise his eyelids. He wondered if he ran into the house and cried. At most, his mother came back and was sued and beaten, so he didn't bother to care about her. The second sister will never take it away.

After clearing away the dishes, it was already dark.

Xu He couldn't get up and down in his heart, he didn't know whether to accept Zhang Fangyuan's appointment.

He knew that there must be many people meeting secretly tonight, but he didn't know what those people would do when they met. He was still busy working outside during the Huachao Festival, and he met male and female brothers who met on the road. He didn't look up to take a closer look at the good things that disturbed others.

If he had known that one day someone would invite him, he would take a peek.

Xu He was in a mess, so he lit a small lantern in the yard, so that his mother could see the way when she came back later, and turned to Xu Shaochun's room where the light was on and said, "I'm going to chase the ducks."

Zhang Fangyuan squatted on the **** of Haitang Bay for half an hour. He couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, and he came even faster than the agreed time. Haitang Bay, where few people came before, tonight is worse than the official road during the day. It's going to be lively, and it's all about meeting people.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to disturb each other, and the people on the left and right couldn't tell who it was. They just walked in silence, and they were so far apart that no one could recognize who it was. Even if you recognize it, you have to pretend not to recognize it. It is impossible to go outside and gossip, otherwise people will ask you how you know it.

It was hot, and it was still spring, so he felt mosquitoes buzzing. Xu He didn't come for a long time, and he was even more irritable.

I don't know whether Xu He will come or not, but after thinking about it carefully, he really didn't promise himself that he would definitely come back. Thinking of this, he felt depressed, wondering if he was annoyed by being too aggressive that day, and he also said that he was domineering.

Zhang Fangyuan was about to stand up, and went back to look outside Xu's house, but when he turned around, he saw a silent person standing behind him.

"when did you come!?"

"Just now."

Surprised suddenly, Zhang Fangyuan became at a loss instead: "I thought you weren't coming."

"Catch the ducks and drop by."

Whether he drove ducks or pigs, as long as the people came, Zhang Fangyuan was so happy that he felt a little embarrassed.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"Um."

"Then... what did you have for dinner?"

Xu He raised his eyes and glanced at the person who was close at hand. The moonlight was bright tonight, and he could faintly see the outline of the person's face: "You called me here just to say this?"

Zhang Fangyuan scratched his head: "No, I..."

"Come here."

Seeing that the two were standing at a similar intersection, Zhang Fangyuan felt uncomfortable being disturbed, so he led Xu He to the corner.

The last time I came to Haitang Bay, the grass **** was still withered and the old grass was gray and yellow. Since the beginning of spring, new grass has grown here. Even if I can’t see clearly at night, I can still smell the fragrance of wild grass and flowers in the spring breeze.

The two walked side by side, Zhang Fangyuan was a head taller than Xu He, the two walked close, their shoulders rubbed lightly from time to time, the brief touch was like a feather fluttering in the wind, trying to grasp but unable to grasp, It's really itchy.

Zhang Fangyuan tilted his head from time to time, looking down.

Xu He felt that the people beside him were a bit strange. Although they couldn't see clearly at night, they could still feel their gazes.

He felt that this person seemed to be a little frizzy today. He wondered if it made him uncomfortable to wait for too long, so he said, "What do you always look at my side?"

Zhang Fangyuan withdrew his gaze a little guilty.

Then Xu He heard—

"I want to hold your hand." Zhang Fangyuan said what he thought in his heart foolishly and honestly, and added later: "Is it okay?"

Xu He's ears turned red again, what, why... pull if you want to, and say it!

The wind seemed to have noticed something unusual, it was so quiet, as if they could hear each other's breathing.

The two of them avoided eye contact in embarrassment and embarrassment at the same time.
