Chapter 1 Wedges

   After a few days of haze, the sky finally cleared up, and there was not much food left at home, so Awan carried a bamboo basket on her back and went to dig radishes in the field.

   She digs water radishes, and some people call them carrots.

The water radish is not big, not as big as Awan's fist, but the skin is thin and juicy, and it is sweet and sweet in one bite. If you cut it into thin slices and mix it with chili sauce, it is refreshing and delicious .

   Now is a good time to eat radish. When the weather gets colder, the taste of radish will not be so tender and sweet, but a bit astringent.

   "Awan! Why are you still here? Your husband is here!"

   An aunt came over with a dustpan and said.

  Awan, who was squatting on the ground, blushed: "Auntie, don't talk nonsense, who, who is my husband?"

Auntie    laughed jokingly: "I'm going to get married soon, it's not your husband, is it my husband?"

On the other side of the field ridge, the peasant women picking rapeseed laughed together.

  Awan blushed, although she didn't admit it, she knew that she did have a fiancé.

   The surname of his fiancé is Zhao and his name is Zhao Heng. He is the only scholar in their village.

   Zhao Heng is not a local, but he fled to their village when the war started, and then stayed in the village.

   Zhao Heng's father died in the war, leaving only him, his widowed mother and a younger sister who was the same age as Awan.

   Thanks to the help of the Awan family over the years, the family of three was able to live in panic.

  The life of Awan's family is not very easy, especially after Awan's father was arrested and detained in the army, the house has no pillars, and life becomes more and more difficult.

   No matter how hard it was, Awan couldn't bear to suffer Zhao Heng's grievances.

Awan put the picked water radishes into the small back basket and ran home in a good mood. When she passed a small fish pond, she squatted down and washed the mud on her hands. Her hands were frostbitten and the wound entered Water, the pain made her gasp!

Afterwards, she untied her hairband, brushed her hair with water to make it shiny, braided a beautiful four-strand braid next to her ear, and carefully took out the red headband that she was willing to wear for the New Year from her bosom, and tied it little by little. .

   After doing this, she took a handful of cold, fishy-smelling water with her frozen hands and washed her face.

   "I'm so cold!" Awan cried out from the ice.

   But he said that Zhao Heng had been wandering outside Awan's house for a long time, and he had not seen Awan for a long time, so he decided to come back another day, but when he passed the fish pond, he happened to see Awan squatting on the shore washing her face.

   Zhao Heng frowned, can the water here wash your face? The smell of fish is so heavy.

  Awan also saw Zhao Heng and stood up in a hurry.

   It’s only been half a month that Zhao Heng has grown taller. Although he is three years older than Awan, he didn’t know that when he first came to the village, he was thinner than Awan.

   Seeing him growing up, Awan was happy.

   "Aheng!" Awan walked over with a smile on her face.

  The girl was wearing a bloated padded jacket, with patches on her knees and elbows. She looked a little embarrassed, but this face was so beautiful that she couldn't pick out a girl more handsome than her.

   Once upon a time, Zhao Heng also thought that Awan was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, but since he had met those young ladies in the city, he only looked at Awan with a shabby and rustic look.

  Awan saw Zhao Heng's hand. It was a pair of scholar's hands. The fingers were slender, clean and delicate.

Awan tucked her little swollen hands with frostbite into her sleeves without a trace, and asked him with a smile, "Why are you here? Today is the middle of the month, and it's not yet the day for repair... It's the money on hand. Are you finished? I'll get it for you."

   In fact, there are not many, only the last few silver nudes are left, and the New Year's goods have not yet arrived, but Zhao Heng's schooling is important, she thought, A-Niang won't blame her.

   "Awan." Zhao Heng stopped her.

  Awan turned around, a sweet smile raised on her red face from the cold: "Huh?"

   "You don't have to give me any more money." Zhao Heng said.

   "Why? Don't you study?" Awan asked in surprise.

   Zhao Heng paused: "No..."

Awan thought that he was worried about the future of cultivating money, so she patted her chest and said: "Don't worry, I have money! I... I can earn it! I will go pick wild vegetables in the spring! I can still chop wood! I can plant it! land……"

   "Where did you get your money, Awan?" Zhao Heng interrupted her.

  Awan was taken aback.

   Zhao Heng said with a heavy expression: "You don't have to hide it from me, I already know it, your money is not clean... You didn't actually go to your cousin's mother-in-law's house the year before last, you... You entered the kiln!"

   A thunderbolt hit Awan's head!

  Awan swayed, the basket fell to the ground, and the red radish rolled to the ground.

  Awan looked at Zhao Heng with a pale face: "Who? Who told you?"

   Zhao Heng clenched his fists and said, "Don't care who told me, you just say yes! Have you entered the kiln?"

  Awan's eye circles turned red a little, she grabbed Zhao Heng's arm: "Aheng..."

   Zhao Heng caught sight of these swollen hands covered with frostbite, and was so frightened that he pulled his arms back!

Awan felt his dislike, and did not dare to touch him again, but said more and more choked: "I... I didn't enter the kiln! Ah Heng, you believe me, my money is clean! I exchanged it with jade pendants! "

   Zhao Heng looked at her coldly: "Where did you get the jade pendant?"

   "I picked it up!" Awan said.

   Zhao Heng sneered: "Can just pick up a piece of jade pendant for so much silver?"

   He also naively thought that all his expensive repairing silver was planted by Awan and chopped wood, but who would have guessed...she actually traded her own body for it!

   Is she shameless? Do you want it? !

   She is already engaged to him, and she is going to do shameful deeds with other men!

  Why is she so dirty? !

   "Aheng, believe me, I didn't enter the kiln, I can swear!" Awan cried so much that her heart was broken, she really didn't enter the kiln, really didn't...

The two grew up as childhood sweethearts. For a long time, Zhao Heng and his sister both ate at Awan's house and lived at Awan's house. He still remembered the days when the whole village was plagued by famine. It was Awan who saved his own rations and fed them one bite at a time. for him.

  It's not Awan, he may have starved to death a long time ago.

   He has a trace of affection for Awan after all.

   "Don't worry, it's about the relationship between you and me. I won't publicize your affairs, but I can't marry you again." He said charitably.

   Zhao Heng thought, he has done his best. After all, for a woman, there is nothing more important than her reputation. He is willing to keep her reputation. She should be content.

Zhao Hengyi said sternly: "I am a scholar, and the master said that with my talent and learning, he will be able to enter the office one day, and I cannot marry a dirty woman... I will return the marriage, and you will not come again in the future. found me."

   After saying that, Zhao Heng didn't dare to look at Awan's heartbroken face, so he fled away.

   But before he could run a few steps, there was a loud thud from the fish pond behind him.

   "Awan—"
