Chapter 107 Unknown Feelings
The ox cart moved forward slowly and unknowingly approached Songjia Village.
Song Xile asked the old man driving the cart to stop at the entrance to the village. After paying the fare, the two of them walked towards the village carrying food!
Along the way, the couple met many aunts who were carrying baskets out. When they saw the young couple, they all stopped and greeted them with a smile!
Originally, I only heard that this girl was rejected and broke off the engagement on her wedding day, but now I see her coming to her parents' home with lots of bags in her hands!
It seems that she is having a good time at her husband's house!
Many people were very jealous when they saw it!
After the two walked away, someone sighed, "Xile girl is really lucky. Look at what she is holding in her hand. It looks like she is respected by her husband!"
"Who says it's not true? On the day I returned home, I saw a bag of food on the car. Life must have been good back then!"
The women carrying baskets talked about what they had seen and heard.
At this time, someone suddenly said, "Hey, have you heard? The first place in this county case this year is Xile girl's husband!"
The women were shocked and all looked at the young woman, "How did you know that?"
"I heard from my father-in-law that Xile turned a disaster into a blessing and married a county champion!"
"Is that the person who scored better than Song Zhi from our village?"
Some people couldn't help but sigh, saying that Xile girl is so lucky!
"What good fortune? I think it's a lucky life for my husband!"
A woman lowered her voice and said, "You may not know that my family is from Xixi Village. Xile's husband was originally a sickly man. After Xile married him, not only did her health improve, she also took the top spot in the county exam!"
"Do you think this is a good fortune for the husband?"
Everyone nodded unconsciously. People at that time believed this saying very much. Some families would even choose to have a wedding to bring good luck when there was no cure. Everyone was willing to believe this saying!
After all, they are all from the same village. Compared with the girls in their village who were previously rejected for marriage, they would rather say that Xile is a girl who will bring good luck to her husband!
If word gets out like this, it means there are unmarried girls in their family, and maybe there will be better choices for matchmaking in the future!
The women were gossiping enthusiastically, and naturally did not pay attention to the fact that one of them returned home with a gloomy look on her face!
As soon as she entered the yard, she saw her son sweeping the yard.
She hurriedly took a few steps to grab the broom from her son's hand and said, "You can go back to your room and study, I will take care of these things!"
"I just finished my exams, so it's okay to take a few days off. Mom, you're feeling better now, so don't get sick from working yourself to death!"
Looking at such an outstanding and sensible son, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but feel distressed. If it weren't for her poor health, she would have become a burden to her son!
He doesn't even have the confidence to approach the girl he likes!
No one knows a son better than his mother. She knew what her son was thinking. He originally thought that if he could get a good rank in the county examination this year, he would go to the Song family to ask for a position!
But who could have known that it was fate that would make his son miss out like this!
Guo opened her mouth and whispered, "I just saw Xile come back. It seems that her husband treats her very well!"
Song Zhi's body stiffened, and then he forced out an unnatural smile and said, "Mom, don't think too much!"
"I just want to pass the exam and become a scholar as soon as possible, so that we don't have to pay the land tax, and our life will be easier!"
At this time, a burst of playful laughter interrupted the subsequent conversation between mother and son.
Two children, one big and one small, the older one was about ten years old, the younger one was about five or six years old, wearing patched jackets, carrying a small bamboo basket on their backs, and shouted happily towards the yard: "Mother, brother, look what we found!"
Song Zhi quickly suppressed his inner bitterness, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Let me see what treasure you found!"
Song Xiaomei carefully took the small backpack off her body, and then lifted the straw covering the backpack, "Brother, look, they are bird eggs, I counted them, there are twelve in total!"
The little girl said with sparkling eyes: "I will cook two today to nourish mother and big brother!"
Little Brother Song couldn't help swallowing and nodded repeatedly!
Song Zhi couldn't help feeling sad. In this family, he was the eldest brother, yet he still had to let his younger brothers and sisters give in to him!
He stretched out his calloused hands and ruffled his brother's dry yellow hair. "How can we share just two? Beat them all and let's eat together!"
Little brother Song was so happy that he jumped three feet high!
Song Xiaomei was reluctant to leave, she didn’t want to eat, she wanted to save her mother and elder brother!
Song Zhi could see his sister's hesitation, and smiled and advised: "Brother will deliver the copied books to the bookstore this afternoon, and I will make money to buy you meat. The little girl is still young, there is no need to worry so much. Be careful not to worry too much, or you won't grow taller!"
Song Xiaomei stamped her feet angrily and ran behind Guo in a coquettish manner, "Mom, look at my brother!"
Guo looked at the brother and sister, who were so harmonious, and her face was full of joy!
The slight sadness I felt just now was alleviated a lot by the children's laughter!
Song Zhijian felt relieved when he saw that he had diverted his mother's attention. The doctor said that he should not worry too much about his mother's health!
After his father passed away, his grandparents separated them from the family. He still had to go to school, so his mother was the only one who took care of things at home. After years of hard work and not having enough food, her body was already severely overdrawn!
A man in his thirties looks like he is in his forties!
Song Zhi didn't want his mother to worry about him anymore. He should recognize the situation, work hard on the imperial examinations, and not let his mother and siblings have a hard time because of him!
As for that little bit of loss in his heart, he had already hidden it in his heart!
Song Xile naturally didn't know that her original body had such a fate. She and Yun walked home with food in their hands.
Of course, some of the children who were playing together also saw the two of them!
Someone patted Big Head who was having a fierce fight with grass.
The so-called grass fighting is that each side has a piece of grass, and they pull each other to see whose grass breaks first. The one who breaks the grass first loses!
Big Head shrugged, "Hey, don't shoot me, don't you see that I'm going to win?"
"No, Big Head, your aunt is back with some food in her hands!"
Xiaotou was cheering for her elder brother. Upon hearing this, she suddenly looked up and saw her aunt at a glance!
The little boy let out an excited cry, cheered for his brother, and ran home on his short legs!
When Big Head heard Little Head calling for his aunt, he ignored the fierce fight they were having and rushed out of the encirclement of his friends and chased after his brother!
The friends present were drooling with envy as they watched the two brothers run away!
"Datou's aunt is back and she must have brought a lot of delicious food!" said a little friend enviously.
"Yeah, every time Big Head Auntie comes back, it's like New Year's Day in their house!" another little friend said enviously.
"Let's go and take a look. Maybe Big Head will give us some food." Someone made a bold suggestion.
So, a group of friends put down the straw in their hands and followed with anticipation.
