Chapter 23 Dates
"Ouch, whose girl is that? So fierce!" Gu Wu was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed while holding his stomach. While laughing, he pulled Lu Junzhao's sleeve and said happily, "Have you ever seen such a savage girl?
?Ouch, it made me laugh so hard, she even waved her fist at you..."
Lu Junzhao had a dark face and glanced at Gu Wu coldly. Gu Wu took half a step back and continued to look at Lu Junzhao and smile.
Lin Wan returned to the courtyard in a happy mood, her skirts spinning as she walked. She listened to Aunt Cao talking about the scuffle at the gate of Zhuangzi. She was very happy for a long time, and then she went to Liu's room.
"Hey, I was just looking for you." Lin Wan from Liu's House smiled and took her out, "Have everyone been sent away?"
"Let him be beaten out!" Lin Wan's eyes flashed and she nodded with a bright smile. "Don't worry, mother, we will definitely make him afraid to come again!"
"Hey, we might as well fight them out! Those people from the Yang family..." Mrs. Liu thought of Yang Liu's appearance, and felt angry in her heart. She didn't say anything more to Lin Wan, and instead pointed to the account book on the case, "Just now, the Wei family's daughter-in-law
I have sent you the account book, let the girl take it over."
Lin Wan walked over, flipped through it briefly, and signaled Yuzhu to step forward and take the things back.
"It's a good day this year. I followed them around at noon and looked around. The harvest in this village should be good." Lin Wan sat down opposite Liu, holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, smiling so much that her eyes were bent.
"I asked them to go to the lake at night to catch some fish and distribute them to the people in the village. Let's also have a try. I heard from Erya that there is a forest not far to the east of the village where many jujube trees were planted. Earlier,
I didn’t notice either. Let the girls go pick dates tomorrow! I’ll join in the fun too! If mother is free, please come with us for a walk!”
"Go ahead and let the girls keep an eye on you before it's too late. I'll let people keep an eye on you tomorrow and tidy up the yard."
Ms. Liu looked at her daughter, with a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of melancholy. Life in the girl's family was easy, but if she went to someone else's family and became their daughter-in-law, she would not be so comfortable. Thinking of this,
Mrs. Liu felt depressed and irritable again. She looked through all the suitable families in the capital, but she really couldn't find a very satisfactory son-in-law candidate!
It is autumn, and all kinds of flowers, plants, and trees in Zhuangzi are covered with yellow and green, mixed with red, white, yellow, and blue. At a glance, the colors are particularly beautiful. When the wind blows, the red leaves are floating all over Zhuangzi, which makes people's hearts fly when they look at it.
Lin Wan took a few girls early in the morning and followed Erya, who was jumping up and down, to the woods to the east of Zhuangzi.
"Girl, let me tell you, don't look at those jujubes, they are so sweet even though they are small!" Erya hung a bamboo basket in one hand and supported a long bamboo pole with a belt in the other hand. The bamboo pole jumped with Erya.
Jumping and swaying very naturally.
Lin Wan wore a neat short shirt with her trousers tied up, her hair tied into a bunch, and she was holding a basket in her hand. At first glance, she looked very neat and tidy. She followed Erya and ran with her feet open. There were several people behind her.
It was rare for this girl to see Lin Wan playing so wildly, so she could only pant and trot behind the two of them. When they arrived, they were all so tired that they couldn't stand up straight. Lin Wan was also panting with a red face.
, but the smile is extremely bright, as eye-catching as the rising sun.
Erya, however, acted like a normal person. He stood under the tree with his eyes wide open and watched a few people panting with great interest. After reading this, he looked at the jujube trees, pointed at one of the particularly tall ones and said, "Girl and the few
Sisters, please watch here while I climb up and beat the dates, and the sisters will come over later to pick them up!"
"Go on, go on." Lin Wan waved to Erya and watched Erya put down the basket and climb up the tree in twos and twos, sighing with emotion. "I think I also climbed trees when I was a child!
"
Forsythia next to her burst into laughter. "Girl, just coax people! Why don't we know?"
Lin Wan was startled, then laughed, and without explaining, handed the bamboo pole to Erya.
Erya swung the bamboo pole skillfully, and struck the target with a burst of movement. The jujube branches fell together, and soon a lot of half-green and half-red jujubes accumulated under the jujube tree.
"Hurry up and pick up the dates!" Seeing Erya sliding down the tree like a monkey, Lin Wan hurriedly pushed Qiu Zi beside her and ran up with a basket in her arms.
"Sister Forsythia, you can't pick that one up!" Erya pointed at a few shriveled dates in Forsythia's hand and shouted, "That one has no meat! It doesn't taste good."
Forsythia stuck out her tongue, laughed sheepishly, and hurriedly threw away the branch in her hand, focusing on the plump and big one to pick it up.
It didn't take long for several people to pick up half the basket, and they all laughed when they looked at the uneven dates. Erya laughed especially happily, picked up a big and red one, rubbed it on her body several times, and handed it to her.
To Lin Wan: "Girl, try it, it's sweet!"
Forsythia was about to speak, but Qiu Zi held her back and pursed her lips towards Lin Wan. Forsythia blinked her eyes and looked at Lin Wan with a smile on her face as she took two bites of the date.
"Is this really delicious?" Forsythia looked at the jujube in Lin Wan's hand, curled her lips, and asked in disbelief.
Lin Wan handed the basket over and said, "Would you like to know if it tastes good or not?"
"It's so delicious!" Erya stuffed her mouth full of dates and grinned at Forsythia, biting the dates with her teeth.
Forsythia hesitantly took one, and scholar Erya wiped it on his sleeve clumsily, then put it in his mouth and bit it, then his face changed, and he cried and laughed at Lin Wan: "This is sour!
"
Lin Wan looked at Forsythia's frown, looked at each other, held her stomach and laughed.
"You Erya, how dare you lie to me!" Forsythia stared at the two of them inexplicably, and after a moment she realized what she was doing, and ran towards Erya with a half-bitten date in her hand. Erya saw this.
No, he ran away in a flash. Forsythia stomped her feet angrily and threw the dates in her hand, but unfortunately she missed the hit.
Erya made a face towards Forsythia, with a smile on her face. Lin Wan looked at the two of them, and the corners of her mouth gradually curved up.
"Oh, girl, there's someone over there!" Seeing that he was running away, Erya stopped, turned around, and ran back towards Lin Wan and the others, still in a panic with Forsythia who was chasing after him.
Almost tripped over each other.
"What's wrong?" Forsythia grabbed Erya, who was about to throw herself to the ground, and asked with a smile.
"There are people over there! Two men -" Erya pointed forward, "There are those two people!" Erya shouted and jumped up, dragging Forsythia and running towards Lin Wan. "Girl.
"Hurry up and hide!" At this moment, Erya was only thinking about what her mother said, that is - the girl is different from them! If someone comes, especially a man, you must quickly tell the girl to stay away!
Lin Wan looked at Erya funny, then glanced at the two people who were obviously approaching. She raised her eyebrows, spread her hands towards Qiu Zi and said, "We've already seen you! Look, what's wrong with me like this?"
Do you want to hide? Just leave like this!"
Erya blinked his eyes, with a very tangled expression on his face, and finally looked at Qiu Zi with a bitter face. Seeing that Qiu Zi also had a troubled look on his face, he sighed, got up from the ground, grabbed the basket and moved towards Lin Wan.
My mother said that she should listen to the girl. If the girl says she won’t hide, then she won’t hide.
"Hey...which family are you girls from?" Gu Wu, holding back his laughter, called Lin Wan and the others and asked.
"My mother works at the village next door! We are here to beat dates! Who are you?" Erya stopped in front of Lin Wan, staring warily at Gu Wu and Lu Junzhao, who was getting closer and closer with a wooden face, and said to the latter
Obviously a little scared.
"Hey, don't... don't be afraid, we are also from the village next door!" Gu Wu looked at Erya funny, and was too embarrassed to say "Don't be afraid". These country girls all looked wild, so how could they be afraid?
Who is he! But why is this little girl staring at him so defensively now? He is not so vicious, right?
Gu Wu turned around and glanced at Lu Junzhao, then at Erya, and sighed with some understanding. He took another small step forward, with a smile on his face, and glanced at Lin Wan behind Erya, feeling curious for a moment.
, asked tentatively: "You, you, are all from this Zhuangzi...girl?"
As soon as the words came out, Erya took a step back, bumping into Lin Wan. Lin Wan snorted, patted Erya on the shoulder and stood aside.
Gu Wu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at Lin Wan with some surprise.
Lin Wan noticed it, glared at Gu Wu, and replied in a bad tone: "This gentleman should leave quickly! Our wife has a lot of rules! We don't dare to talk to you too much!" After saying this, his eyes naturally fell on the person behind him.
On the body, well, he looks tall, somewhat dark, and has a cold face, as if he is owed money... Wait, why does he look familiar? Lin Wan blinked and looked at Lu Junzhao again,
Unexpectedly, the latter seemed to be sensing something, and glanced at Lin Wan. Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and then stared back as if she was unwilling to admit defeat. Anyway, no one knew who she was at the moment, so there was no need to pretend.
!
Gu Wuyi choked back his words and laughed a little. He glanced at Lin Wan and reluctantly moved to the side. He said with a flattering smile: "Excuse me, some sisters please come first!"
"Who is your sister!" Erya yelled back angrily, feeling that this "sister" was obviously being taken advantage of. After saying that, he pulled Lin Wan and said angrily, "Girl, let's go!"
Gu Wu was speechless and had nothing to say. He didn't pay attention to the word "girl" after Erya, so he had to shut up and watched the others go away with a depressed look. When he turned around, he saw Lu Junzhao looking at him thoughtfully.
Looking at the backs of these people, Gu Wu suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
