Chapter 23 A belated heartbeat
Not long after Lu Xiaoquan left, when he passed by his uncle's old house, he saw Lu Yun walking out of it with red eyes.
Her belly is already a bit obvious, and she is walking more cautiously.
Lu Xiaoquan said with a half-smile, "Why, are you quarreling with your groom?"
Lu Yun: "..."
Although the two families have a close relationship, they don't deal with each other very well. They are the type of people who fight each other when they meet.
Especially after Lu Yun insisted on marrying Song Anyang, who was opposed by the whole family, Lu Xiaoquan was waiting to see the joke.
Although he is not a good person, he thinks he is not too bad, especially compared to Song, he is at a disadvantage.
Lu Yun glared at his cousin and walked away angrily.
She did have a quarrel with Song Anyang, but it wasn't because of Ye Xiaojiao, who caused such a turmoil and attracted the attention of the whole village. She was the only one who had the ability, right?
Lu Yun saw that Song Anyang still cared about that dead girl, so he couldn't help but say a few more words, and the two of them started to argue.
This made Lu Yun's hatred for Ye Xiaojiao even stronger!
I feel that she must still be seducing her man, and I know that she pretends to be calm on the surface, but in fact she regrets it a lot.
Ye Xiaojiao, who is sitting at home and the pot comes from the sky?
Well, dogs have always found poop delicious and are afraid of being snatched away.
*
In a blink of an eye, the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and every household has started a little excitement.
There have always been dragon boat races here in Xiangyang Commune.
Of course, they don't have any luxurious boats, they are basically fishing boats used in the river. Even so, it will not affect the interest of the villagers at all.
As in previous years, the villagers are mainly divided into four teams, basically each team has a boat. The winner will be rewarded with 10 yuan in cash and ten pounds of meat coupons!
Just for these, young guys are rushing with all their strength.
Not to mention, it's about honor.
The most eye-catching among them are the fourth team headed by Ye Yuan and the second team headed by Lu Defu's second son Lu Haobin. Basically, they take turns taking the first place every year.
Such a lively scene was a bit blurry to Ye Xiaojiao.
In the previous life, after the floods burst the embankments and submerged the entire commune, washing away the men of the Ye family and many other families who went to fight the floods, no one would engage in these activities anymore.
At that time, everyone was shrouded in extreme sadness, which lasted for many years.
"Jiaojiao, let's go watch big brother play."
Ye Si came over to call his sister and felt a little weird.
You know, at this time of year, the little girls who like the excitement the most often run faster than anyone else.
After thinking about it, he added: "Oh, by the way, Fang Zihuai is also here this year!"
He is in the third brigade. You should know that usually, this kid is invisible, but this year he also participated for the first time.
It actually made the game a little more interesting to watch.
"coming."
Ye Xiaojiao walked out leisurely, of course she wanted to see it, not only to cheer for her brother, but also for Fang Zihuai!
In his previous life, Fang Zihuai never participated due to many reasons. In this life, he only agreed after Ye Xiaojiao's persuasion.
Of course you have to support your man in his competition!
and--
What people didn't expect was that Song Anyang also came, and he was paired with Lu Haobin.
There was great excitement inside and outside the river bank.
Eating rice dumplings and racing dragon boats have become a grand event for villagers as well as the Chinese New Year.
Every household also put down their work and came with their wives and children to join in the fun. Even some elderly people with limited mobility were pushed over in wheelchairs by their family members.
In the river, within the spacious channel, four small boats that were not too big were already in place.
There will be 6 young and strong boys on each boat. At this time, everyone is making preparations and working hard to win the first place!
Song Anyang was on the No. 2 boat, in the same group as his brother-in-law Lu Haobin.
He didn't want to participate, but Lu Yun kept yelling. In addition, Song Anyang heard that Fang Zihuai also wanted to participate, so he immediately changed his mind.
Obviously, Song Anyang has regarded Fang Zihuai as his number one opponent and wants to compare everything secretly.
It's just that Lu Haobin's face was a little ugly and he was very reluctant.
At this time, Ye Xiaojiao came.
Today's girl is wearing a light red half-sleeved dress, with long black hair reaching her waist, which highlights her skin as white as snow, and she is so beautiful that she seems to have her own filter.
She has grown taller than before, and the last bit of baby fat on her face has faded away, making the girl's slimness and beauty more obvious.
And like this, she instantly became the focus of everyone's attention when she appeared.
The men's eyes all flashed with surprise at the same time, while the women looked more at that dress. Isn't it so pretty?
Why didn't I see it when I went to the county supply and marketing cooperative before?
Could it be that you bought it in the provincial capital?
The corners of Ye Xiaojiao's lips curved slightly. The supply and marketing cooperative did not sell these clothes.
She bought the cloth herself, drew the picture, and asked her ingenious sister-in-law to make it herself.
These days, everyone's clothes are simply black, gray, and blue.
There is also red, but it is basically the old-fashioned style for weddings.
For example, the kind that Lu Yun wore before was obviously ugly, but she was still happy with it.
Ye Xiaojiao's piece is indeed made from red cloth, but it was processed before and the cloth was properly faded with vinegar to ensure that it would not look like a bride after wearing it, and it would also make the wearer stand out among the crowd. Bright.
Song Anyang had been paying attention to the shore. After he saw Ye Xiaojiao like this, he was immediately stunned and even forgot the movements he was preparing.
In his memory, Ye Xiaojiao had always been that arrogant and domineering little country girl, who was only endlessly disgusting.
But at this time, she seemed to be a different person, beautiful, bright, confident and generous, so beautiful that it made people subconsciously slow down their breathing.
"This is the little girl from the Ye family, why is she so beautiful!"
Someone next to me asked the same question.
Song Anyang's heart sank slightly. To be precise, she has been changing in the past year.
Just like a flower that gradually blooms, it blooms slowly and silently, making people ignore it subconsciously, but it will surprise everyone at a certain moment!
Seeing Ye Xiaojiao's eyes turning this way, Song Anyang's heartbeat speeded up slightly, and a joy filled her heart, thinking to herself:
"Sure enough, she still cares about herself."
Even he didn't know why, the person he didn't want to see even one more time in the past was now unconsciously searching for her whereabouts.
Song Anyang even felt that his heartbeat was speeding up at this moment.
Damn it!
Of course—
Ye Xiaojiao's eyes just glanced over here, and finally landed on Fang Zihuai on the No. 3 boat next to her, and smiled at him.
Song Anyang: "..."
With a whistle, the game is about to begin!
