Fisherman

After the matter was settled, Zhao Qian walked out from Di's gambling house: "Boss Di, stay here and send it here."

Di Guangzu nodded: "Come on, I will also go to have a barbecue with some brothers tomorrow, and we can discuss about chess and cards then."

"no problem."

Zhao Qian didn't go back to the barbecue shop, but turned around and went to the entrance of the market. It was already dark, and the ox carts had already left by now. If I walked back, it would be midnight no matter how fast I walked back.

But if you don't go back......

After this thought flashed in his mind, he didn't think about it any more, turned around and headed towards the market.

Brother Zhou went back from the market and started to buy seafood early in the morning. At night, he already had a lot of them. After the purchase money he brought back from the city ran out, he didn’t take any more. What he took was enough. Been selling for a while.

After sorting out the seafood, he found that the sky had darkened. He looked towards the entrance of the village several times, but he still didn't see a familiar figure, so he had to turn around and go back. The vegetables and peppers he had grown in the yard had grown up. , Although the management is neglected in the city, but fortunately, it is well watered when it is a seedling. This time, the peppers are red and green, and the cabbage is also tightened and grown, and they are all mature and ready to be picked.

He picked some peppers, twisted a cabbage, and was about to go back to the house to make dinner. As soon as he entered the stove, there was a knock on the door in the yard. He was so happy that he quickly stood up from the stove and ran out in a hurry open the door.

"Brother Zhou, tonight we will eat fresh fish from the sea at home, let's go and eat together."

When he arrived in the yard, he turned out to be Zheng Geer with a big belly. By this month, his belly was so obvious that it couldn't be more obvious, and it was estimated that he was about to give birth.Zhou Ge'er was subconsciously disappointed that he didn't see Zhao Qian, but he didn't show it.

"I'm ready to start cooking."

"Save the food for tomorrow. You can eat as much as you can alone. It's not a problem. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Brother Zheng persuaded.

Brother Zhou hesitated for a moment: "But Brother Zhao is coming back, I went over to eat, and he has nothing to eat."

Zheng Shu laughed: "It's this time, how do you come back, even if you come back, you have eaten at the market. Let's go."

Having said that, Brother Zhou was even more disappointed. He half-supported Zheng Shu, who was moving slowly, and agreed to go over for dinner.

It took a few steps to reach Zheng Shu's house. At this moment, Liu Jun was cooking fish, and Zheng Shu was usually doing it, but as the months got older, Liu Jun refused to let him do it. It was the two of them. Both of them were cautious about their first child, for fear of any mistakes.

"Brother Zhou is here!" Liu Jun greeted.

"Ah."

While speaking, Liu Jun turned his elbow and dropped the vegetable leaves into the pot. Zheng Shu frowned and muttered: "You clumsy man, I'll do it."

Liu Jun quickly blocked him: "You take Brother Zhou into the house and wait, I can do it."

The couple had been arguing for a while, Zhou Geer was watching at the door, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, until today he suddenly realized that after being with Zhao Qian, the two seemed to be together every day, and they had never been together at night. I have never returned home, and I have never tried to feel like staying overnight.

But when I left today, I promised to come back. Brother Zhao has always kept his promise. Why can't I see anyone at this hour?

Thinking about it this way, his heart slowly turned from a little sourness to worry, but don't worry about what happened, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he suddenly said: "Brother Zheng, I suddenly remembered There is something else, you can eat first!"

After speaking, Brother Zhou rushed out before the couple recovered from the cooking argument.

During the days when he was away, the villagers widened the original path. He ran out quickly and walked in the direction of the market. The road was wide and smooth, so he would not fall down at night.But the night is getting darker, only a little bit of starlight illuminates the road, and the surrounding area is dark. The weather is still very hot in the late summer and early autumn nights, and the cicadas and frogs are singing one after another, but it is not as good as in midsummer.

He bravely walked forward, even though he was quite courageous, but he walked a long way at night at such a late hour, and he was unavoidably panicked. After passing Xiayu Village, there were no other villages nearby, and it was a desolate night. Disturbing.

Especially when he was walking, he always heard a rustling sound behind him. When he turned his head several times and saw nothing, he felt a little unsteady in his heart. Picking up the stick, at this moment, the voice behind him became more and more obvious, he suddenly turned around, and a dark shadow rushed over.

He waved the wooden stick, his heart was in his throat, and he fell back to the ground. He didn't know what it was, and closed his eyes in fright...

"Less rain, less rain!"

Hearing the shout, he slowly opened his eyes, and found that Zhao Qian was standing in front of him. He was a little frightened and couldn't speak clearly: "Just now, just now..."

Zhao Qian hugged him into his arms and stroked the young man's hair: "It's a wild dog. I've chased it away. Look, it's over there."

Brother Zhou's heart was beating very fast. With Zhao Qian's support, he stood up from the ground. Following the direction he pointed, he saw a big wild dog. It was walking back, running on all fours. Soon, he stopped to look at the two of them from time to time.

He heaved a sigh of relief with lingering fear in his heart, he was ashamed in front of Brother Zhao, he was a little afraid to look up at the person who was still hugging him.

"Why do you come out alone at such a late hour? What if you meet someone with ulterior motives instead of a wild dog?" Zhao Qian led the man to the bullock cart at the back, knowing that the boy was frightened: "What if I will kidnap you and sell you to the Goulan Courtyard, where can I find someone."

Brother Zhou didn't say a word, he really didn't think so much before, Zhao Qian said that, he was indeed a little scared.

"You said you would come back, but it's so late..." It was a bit of aggrieved words that were originally worried.

Zhao Qian had someone sit beside her, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Fortunately, nothing happened to her, otherwise she didn't know how to feel guilty: "Don't come out to find me next time, if you promise, you will come back no matter how late."

Brother Zhou didn't speak, but he listened to what he said, knowing that he was a little impulsive today and did something wrong.

Zhao Qian pulled the rein and slowly drove the ox back.

After a while, Brother Zhou said, "Where did you get the bullock cart?"

"I bought it. After talking about the matter, there are no bullock carts in the market. Wouldn't it take longer to walk back?" He had driven the cattle as fast as possible before, and he was still wondering if Brother Zhou would stay with him, but it turned out I didn't expect to come to find him.

"There is no ox cart in the village. After you buy it, you can lend it to Xiaoxiao's family, so that the master can continue to drive the ox cart. It will be much more convenient for people in the village to go to the market."

Brother Zhou nodded.

He was frightened just now, his mind was not very clear, and he didn't pay much attention to what people said, he only knew that Zhao Qian was back, and he was thinking so in his heart.

When the couple arrived in the village, it was already midnight. It should have been quiet at night, but when they crossed the river and entered the village, they heard noisy voices coming from Zheng Shu's house, with villagers coming in and out from time to time.

Zhao Qian went to tie up the cow and asked Brother Zhou to go and have a look first. When he had just crossed the river, he heard a clear cry, which was very penetrating.

Brother Zhou was startled, subconsciously thinking of Zheng Shusheng!It's only been a while, and when he came out of Zheng's house, he had a big belly, but he didn't expect to give birth just after going out.

"Let's go, don't be dazed, go and have a look." Zhao Qian came over and led him.

When entering Zheng's courtyard, there were quite a few people inside, not only the birth father, but also a few elder brothers who had given birth, and even the village chief was there. Everyone was very happy that the child was born safely.

Liu Jun carried the crying baby out, Brother Zhou left Zhao Qian, and rushed up to see, the baby's skin was wrinkled just after birth, not very pretty, but it just made people laugh from ear to ear.

"It's a girl." Liu Jun's mouth almost split to the back of his head, holding the child and shaking it gently.

The village chief smiled and went to hug the child: "This is the first child in our new village."

Everyone was immersed in joy. At this time, the village chief turned his attention to Zhao Qian and Brother Zhou: "You two have to work harder."

Brother Zhou couldn't help but blushed. The child is cute, but he didn't move at all. He tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Where is Brother Zheng, is he alright?"

"It's okay, in the house, he asked me to hold the child for everyone to see."

"Then I'll go in and have a look at him." After speaking, he hurriedly slipped away.

It was inconvenient for Zhao Qian to follow in, so he just teased the squinting little boy outside.

"Brother Zhou, are you back?" Zheng Shu, who was lying on the bed, was a little weak, with sweat still mottled on his face: "Look at what you were doing in such a hurry just now."

"I'm going to find Brother Zhao."

Zheng Shu smiled, and heard the voice outside and knew that the person had come back.

Brother Zhou was a little uncomfortable, and didn't know what to say, so he asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"It's no big deal. You'll know when you pass this hurdle in the future."

Brother Zhou lowered his head: "The child is very cute."

He is not afraid of this hurdle, and his eyes are full of anticipation. If he can have a child with Brother Zhao in the future, he thinks it will be a very good thing

After the baby was delivered safely, the members of Zheng's family dispersed slowly, and the night returned to tranquility.

After a lot of tossing, it was already late at night when the couple arrived home. After the meal, the hunger disappeared, so they didn't plan to make dinner again. After washing up, they rested.

Brother Zhou took a shower and went to make the bed first. Before going to the market, he cleaned up the bed at home. He was afraid that no one in the house would bite the quilt, so he bought it not long ago. Not afraid of trouble, all of them were put in the cabinet.

After the bed was made, Zhao Qian hadn’t come in yet, so he lay down on the bed first. It’s been a long time since he slept on the big bed at home. The small bed in the market was a bit cramped for the two of them. I remember that when we were in the cave, the cushions were not wide. , but Zhao Qian sleeps very well. It has changed since he got married. When he fell asleep, he rolled over and pinned him down. When he woke up the next morning, his hands and feet were numb.

Just as he was thinking, Zhao Qian stepped on a pair of slippers and entered the room. He wiped his wet hair with a piece of handkerchief. He didn't even wear a jacket, so he came in naked.

"I blow out the lamp."

Brother Zhou nodded, not wearing any bright clothes, looking so ashamed.

After the room was plunged into darkness, he closed his eyes, Zhao Qian climbed onto the bed, and kissed him on the cheek.

He suddenly opened his eyes: "Why?"

"I think we should listen to the village chief." Zhao Qian rubbed his neck.

Brother Zhou opened his eyes wide: "What, what did you say?"

Zhao Qian put his hand into the boy's skirt: "You forgot, I want you to remember it well."

Brother Zhou tensed his body, and he instantly understood what Zhao Qian meant, his voice trembling: "It's so late, no, it's not so good."

"What's wrong." Zhao Qian ignored the boy's seemingly non-existent resistance. After finally coming back, he could sleep on a stretched-out bed and live a normal life with his wife. It couldn't be better.
