Chapter 268 Xiao Ping'er is missing
The Shen family prepared a entanglement for Shen Zi, and asked him to go to see his old friends early, discuss the test questions together, and then participate in the autumn in August, which will be more certain.
Shen Ziju is going to leave. Naturally, he will invite the Xiao family. The Xiao family has already said that before Shen Ziju left, they should tell them, and they will also come to see them off. Naturally, the Shen family was going to deliver the letter, and the Xiao family came.
Although the Xiao family is not too rich, it is not too bad. At least the family has saved some money. This time, in order to support the future son-in-law's career, the Xiao family really paid money, and they took out five taels of silver at once. In fact, the Xiao family did this. On the one hand, they thought that Shen Ziju would definitely be able to do so. If they make a contribution, Shen Ziju will keep his kindness in mind. When he marries Xiao Ping'er, it will be better for Xiao Ping'er. On the other hand, they were also afraid that Shen Ziju would have an idea and thought that his daughter was not worthy of him, so now they took the money to gag him. At that time, he would win. If he dared to be scheming, he would use this money to count him, and he dared not destroy this reputation.
Shen Youfu and others looked at the money and thought to themselves that they could not keep the money, but they still accepted it. After all, the two families are still in-laws now, and the marriage has not been returned yet!
Wang and Sun worked together and cooked two large tables of good food, and the two families sat together.
Xiao Ping'er took a quiet look at Shen Ziju, and then quickly lowered her eyes. In fact, although she was shy, she did not bow her head when she saw someone. It was only because that person was her future partner and so beautiful that she was shy.
Shen Zi'an is wearing a robe today. The cyan fine cotton cloth, a green scarf on his head, and his white and tall figure, how can he be a talent? Even if there is no smile on his face, it makes people feel that he is very polite, with a literati at a glance.
The Xiao family is 100 satisfied with Shen Ziju. You asked him one by one, and Shen Ziju answered warmly, which made the Xiao family's parents very satisfied.
Xiao Dalu is still not satisfied with this person who wants to marry his sister. He advocates a strong man. Shen Ziju has a lot of knowledge, which is very good, but he feels that it is better to have more strength. So he was not so affectionate to Shen Ziju, but he didn't make trouble. His father said that if he made trouble today, he would beat him.
Xiao Dalu and Dalang Erlang talked about what they said. He doesn't care about Sanlang, and Sanlang doesn't pay much attention to him. They don't deal with him.
After dinner, Xiao Dalu asked Dalang Erlang to take him to play, saying that he wanted to see what Uncle Shen's home looked like.
Shen Youfu, they can't wait for Xiao Dalu to leave. Shen Zhang asked Dalang Erlang to take Xiao Dalu to play.
"Chunlan Chunxiang, you also want to go, then you can go. I'll stay with Ping'er. We won't go out now. I'll have a few words with Ping'er.
Chunlan Chunxiang answered, and then left. It's not that they don't want to stay with the guests. The little aunt wants to accompany them and let them go. It's not easy for them to stay. And they also want to go to their second uncle's house and go there to make up the contacts with Chunyue. They can put the contacts in their home and sell them together as private money.
It's very hotter now, much hotter than usual, and because of the drought, the grass on the ground is drying up, the leaves are almost yellow, and there is no water in the river. It's really not fun.
A group of half-sized children went straight to the east of the river and went to Shen Zigui's house first.
Since Shen Zigui came back from the scholar, he has separated after finishing those tables. Now the house has been built long ago. The family settled down and had a good time.
The yard of Shen Zigui's house is quite large, with three green brick and tile houses. The thatched houses were built on both sides, and they put things to cook and raise chickens. Because of the drought, they did not raise pigs. Although it was dry, I still planted vegetables. If I want to use water, I will go to Shen Zi'an's home to pick it. It's close and convenient.
Chunyue and others were all happy when they saw them coming. Chunlan Chunxiang was a girl's house. She sat down and sat together to make up. Several boys couldn't sit still, so they ran out again and ran to Shen Zi'an's garden to play. They went to Xiaori and others to play.
As soon as Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi saw Xiao Dalu, they knew that the Xiao family was coming. They took out food and entertained a few children. Although the weather was dry, Su Zhi's family did not lack water and could still make delicious food, so she made red bean cake. Xiao Dalu praised while eating. This is a real boy. Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi like him very much. After eating the snacks, Xiao Da Lu and Da Lang Erlang ran in the garden with Xiao Ri.
Su Zhi thought that it was good that the Holy Beast family had gone to the mountains again, or she would have fun again. But thinking of Xiao Dalu seeing the white wolf, does he dare to be so noisy? Su Zhi smiled and went to sit and sew clothes with Aunt Lan. She is sewing small clothes for three children. It's too hot in summer. She doesn't want to heat them up.
After a while, Chunlan Chunxiang and others all came over. A group of people sat in the pavilion by the pond and chatted while weaving. It was very lively.
The half a day will pass soon. It's almost time for Shen. Xiao Dalu and others are going back to the Shen family's old house, and then they will rush home.
Xiao Ri and the others played for a long time, and they were familiar with Xiao Dalu. Seeing that he wanted to leave, they were a little reluctant to see him off. Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi went to the old house with them. When I got home, I saw Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao standing up. It was not early. Although it was late in summer, it would be dark when I got home.
"The road, where's your sister?"
Aunt Xiao looked for it. She didn't see Xiao Ping'er, so she asked Xiao Dalu, and she casually asked, thinking that maybe she had gone to the thatched house outside. As a result, Xiao Dalu's rhetorical question made her a little anxious.
Xiao Dalu was stunned for a moment and said, "My sister didn't come with me!"
"Ah? Didn't your sister come with you? Didn't your sister come to see you?! Didn't she come back with you?"
Aunt Xiao was a little anxious when she heard it.
Chunlan and Chunlan looked at each other. Chunlan stepped forward and said, "We didn't take Aunt Xiao when we went out, and she didn't go to see us. We didn't go with her on the way back. We are all here now.
As soon as Aunt Xiao heard that it was dark in front of her, Uncle Xiao was holding her beside her.
"Mom, my sister is missing?!" Xiao Dalu also realized that his sister seemed to have gone out. His family thought she had gone to find him, but he didn't see him. How long has my sister been out? Did you go out to play with others?
"Look who else is not here? Maybe we're together."
Uncle Xiao immediately said that his daughter had been out for a long time, and he didn't know where his daughter had gone. Although this is a simple countryside and nothing will happen, it is quite urgent to find her for a while. RQ
