Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 697 Marrying the Wrong Man or the Right One? (18)

After a while, Shi An came back with a load of firewood on each shoulder, threw it in the corner, took off his outer robe, and poured half a basin of cold water down to his neck.

In the setting sun, the man's sturdy arms reflected a powerful aura. He wiped them casually, dragged his shoes, picked up the axe and swung it over. The mouse in the corner died miserably.

Shi An picked up the axe, picked up the dead rat, and threw it out of the courtyard wall.

He took an axe and started chopping wood. Before he had taken a few chops, he heard his mother's voice outside the yard gate.

"Eighteen is not young anymore, Cuizhu, you are almost fifteen, it is better to get married sooner rather than later. You were right about your brother Anzi..."

The woman next to Shi Mu immediately changed the subject: "Aunt, I'm just here to borrow something. After all, marriage matters are still decided by parents."

"I will discuss it with your parents tomorrow. Auntie likes you very much."

"Aunt, my family is still waiting for me to return. If your family doesn't have that thing, I'll go to his house to look for it."

"You are really anxious girl, come with me."

The gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and the woman saw Shi An, shirtless, in the setting sun. With one blow of the axe, the thick wood as thick as his thigh was split into two.

The other party was showing the majestic and powerful look he should have. The woman quickly turned her head away with a slight blush on her cheeks.

But when he thought about the fact that Shi An often hung out in Qingfengxuan, the original thoughts in his mind disappeared in an instant, and were replaced by escape.

The girl called out to the woman next to her, "Aunt, my family doesn't seem to need that thing anymore. It's getting late, so I'll go back." After saying that, she ran away, worried that some dirty thing would catch up with her.

"Hey, don't run, girl!" Shi Mu quickened her pace and walked to the gate of the courtyard. She saw that the girl was like a frightened bird and had already run more than ten steps away.

"Hahaha, could it be that there's some evil spirit haunting my house and scaring people away?"

Mother Shi was so disappointed that she said angrily, "You good-for-nothing boy, I'm arranging a marriage for you, don't be so unreasonable."

Shi An immediately shook his head and refused: "That dark girl just now? She has no flesh on her body, and I don't think it will hurt me when I sleep at night."

"Speak to me in a more pleasant way. She has a big butt and is good at giving birth..."

Realizing that she had said something feminine in front of her son, Shi's mother glared at her son and said, "You must get married sooner or later. You can't keep putting it off."

"Why rush? I have to go out on business these few months and won't be home. I can talk about getting married later."

Hearing Shi An say that he was going on a long trip again, Shi's mother complained: "Don't do that smuggling security job anymore. You almost lost your life in those desolate mountains a year ago."

"Mother, I have my own plans. This time I am not going to work for the escort agency to deliver goods, but to work for the army with a nobleman."

"That's not a war, you're not allowed to go, what kind of noble person is that!"

"Why can't I go? I'm just going to take a look. If I can't do it, I'll come back and continue farming."

"Although we are living in a peaceful and prosperous age, being a soldier is not easy. If something happens to you, what will happen to our family?"

"Mom, you also said that this is a peaceful and prosperous era, so there must be fewer wars. Besides, I'm just going to be a small manager of the firemen, commanding them to cook, and I'll get paid every month. Why should I be a fisherman ferrying fish around the Flower Lake?"

"You... whatever you want!"

"Of course it's up to me. Once I get a good job, I can find any good wife I want. She will definitely be better than the bean sprout that just came."

"Speak softly, you are our only son. If you..."

"If the people from the big house dare to bully you, I will come back and knock their heads off! The place I'm going to is only about half a month away from home, or ten days at the fastest. Whoever dares to bully my family will come and see!"

Seeing that Shi An was determined to leave, Shi's mother knew that even nine oxen could not pull him back, and there was no one in the family who could reason with him.

She picked up some wild vegetables from the ground and said as she walked, "It's shameful to put on clothes in broad daylight."

Seeing that his mother didn't object to him going to the military camp, Shi An muttered, "It's so hot!"

That night, Shi An undressed and prepared to go to sleep, when a handkerchief slipped out from under his pillow. He picked it up, put it to his nose and smelled it, thinking of the delicate, soft, bright and charming woman, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

I thought: If I marry that girl and have her give birth to a baby, plus I’m good-looking, the baby will definitely be good-looking!

If the child is a daughter, then she will be taught to read and write so that she can become a female prime minister in the future; if it is a boy, then he will be taught to wield a sword and a stick so that he can guard the house for his wife and him.

After thinking for an unknown amount of time, Shi An gradually fell asleep. The dream was so beautiful that he was intoxicated.

The next morning, when no one was around, Shi An resigned himself to his fate and washed his clothes and bed sheets by the river, repeatedly calling out in his heart, "Little goblin!"

"Oh, Anzi, you are so virtuous. You wash your own clothes."

Shi An, who was carrying clothes back to the gate, was not very happy to see some gossipy women in the village. He just said, "Do your own things. I won't wash clothes for a whole family."

The women holding a large basin of clothes looked at each other without saying anything. The day's resentment began with washing clothes and cooking...

Two months later…

"Miss Gu, wait!"

Gu Yuxi, who was leading the donkey, turned his head when he heard this, and saw Cen Qingqing with a smile in her eyes, gloating and saying: "Your cousin is back from the capital, and I heard that she will soon become Madam Wu's adopted daughter."

"Thank you Miss Cen for the reminder. It seems that my Gu family is about to have a happy event."

"Really? I also heard that your cousin won the first prize in the Wreath Competition. Now many young men from noble families in the capital are full of praise for her, especially the son of Chengyilang's family, who invited her to enjoy the scenery of Huahu Lake."

"My sister is a blessed person. No wonder everyone likes her."

Seeing that Gu Yuxi was so stupid, Cen Qingqing said angrily, "Gu Yuxi, you and the second son of the Wen family were engaged when you were children. It was your grandmother who arranged this marriage for you."

"Ms. Cen, you were just talking about my sister, why are you talking about my private affairs now?"

"Gu Fenghuan and Wen Pinyan are already like this, and you seem to like wearing this green hat?"

"The one the Wen family agreed to be engaged to was Miss Gu. It's a story of a talented man and a beautiful woman. Miss Cen, you may have got the wrong person. I just heard that."

"You... I was just kindly reminding you not to become a joke, but you took my kindness for granted. Get lost!"

"As long as you are happy." Gu Yuxi still spoke in a calm tone, leading the donkey and preparing to leave, but he didn't expect Cen Qingqing to block his way again.

"Anything else?"

"If you don't fight or compete like this, you will definitely suffer in the future."

"Thanks for the reminder. There is no such thing as a person who does not suffer losses in this world. Suffering losses is a blessing."

"What a damn blessing."

Seeing that Gu Yuxi's attitude was normal, Cen Qingqing stopped talking about it and quietly leaned over to ask, "Do you still have that brocade, or the skin care cream?"

"All the brocade has been reserved. There are two boxes of perfume left, one box of peach blossom and one box of peony."

"Give them all to me!"
