Wenwan agreed to marry. Zhou was energetic these days and was getting better and better to her. Early in the morning, before Wenwan got up, Zhou had already prepared breakfast and brought Wenwan's room personally. When he went to the town, he did not forget to bring some beads for Wenwan.

Wenwan knew that Zhou was greedy for the Song family’s bride price, so she didn’t pick on it. She would accept the things Zhou sent.

Compared to Zhou's "passion", Wen's father seemed much calmer and kept smoking when he came back from the field.

Wen Wan could feel that her father actually didn't want her to marry into the Song family, but she couldn't come forward to explain to Wen's father.

Once I can't speak, I can't explain so much.

Secondly, she and Song Sanlang had only met several times. Even though this place was in the countryside, she paid special attention to the defense of men and women. She could not tell her father that she had dealt with Song Sanlang, and she forced Song Sanlang to marry her.

Otherwise, if it spreads, her face will be out of place.

Fortunately, the Song family was fast, so Song Wei came to Wen's house in person within a few days.

Wen Wan was naturally not suitable to go out to meet him. She hid in her room and quietly opened a crack in the door to watch the movements in the main hall.

Zhou was called out by Wen's father and washed clothes by the well. Only Wen's father and Song Wei were left in the main room.

Wen Wan didn't know what Song Wei said to her father, but only knew that when Song Wei left, Wen's father sent him out. Wen Wan saw through the crack of the door, her father's face eased a lot compared to the previous two days, and her attitude towards Song Wei seemed to be quite good.

Wen Wan also saw that Song Wei turned his head and looked in her direction before leaving.

Even though he had seen those dark eyes before, Wen Wan seemed to be back when she was being caught in the village when she was learning to grab her braids. Her heart kept beating.

She turned her back and leaned against the door panel and stroked her chest, and then pushed the door open after Song Wei left.

Wen Wan chased her out so far, but Song Sanlang was gone.

Originally, she wanted to ask what Song Wei said to her father, but when she thought that Song Wei would definitely not understand her sign language, so she gave up and turned around and prepared to turn back.

A low and nice voice suddenly came from behind the Paulownia tree, "Are you looking for me?"

Wen Wan was startled and turned around.

Song Wei's tall figure stood behind her at some point, his eyes staring at her.

"..." Wen Wan was caught off guard when she encountered such a scene.

Song Wei lowered his eyes, and the little girl's eyes were particularly stubborn, as if she was blaming him for suddenly running out to scare people, and he secretly laughed.

Wen Wan snorted in her heart, turned her head and ignored him.

As he turned around, his wrist was controlled by the man's generous size.

Wen Wan was stunned. Before she could react, she had already had one more thing in her hand.

She lowered her head and saw that it was a thread-bound book.

"I copied it by myself." Song Wei said: "It contains a thousand-character text. You can count it from the first word in the order you recite it yourself, and you will know which word should be pronounced."

Wen Wan pinched the spine tightly, her mood surging. When she looked up at Song Wei, she had a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

In order to match scholars, she always wanted to learn to read, but women's studies have always been said. Besides, books are too expensive and she can't afford them, so she can only go to the village to learn eavesdrop. However, after studying for so long, there has been no progress.

Song Wei's gift has helped her a lot.

His low voice came from above his head, "Remember first, as for how to write, I will teach you myself when you pass by."

This made Wenwan's ears slightly hot.

After receiving the book, she made a gesture of "Thank you".

Song Wei nodded: "Just like it."

Wenwan almost thought she had heard it wrong, so she gestured with her hands tentatively: Can you understand what I said?

Song Wei smiled but said nothing.

——

On the way home, Wen Wan still felt incredible.

There is no one around Song Sanlang who can't speak. They have only met several times. Why can he easily understand a mute sign language? This is so surprising.

This time, Song Wei came to Wen's house and bought Wen's father the best tea cakes and a jar of wine. He gave Zhou's two pieces of floral cloth, which seemed not cheap. He also bought a lot of snacks for Wen Shun.

Zhou got the benefits and his eyes were smiling.

Wen's father also smiled, but Wen Wan could see that he was not because of those tea cakes and the jar of wine.

As for why her father suddenly changed his attitude, I'm afraid he has to ask Song Wei what he said during the day.

Wen Wan didn't care about food or clothes. Song Wei's handwritten book was the most precious gift she thought. She closed the door at night and was so excited that she couldn't sleep. She lit the oil lamp and pointed at the words on the book and recited silently, seriously and carefully.

Perhaps because she was afraid that she would not understand, Song Wei's handwriting was slightly enlarged, and every stroke was written in a straight and clear manner.

His handwriting is pretty good, at least the best handwriting Wen Wan has read in all the books.

Because I stayed up late on the night, Wen Wan got up late on the second day.

Zhou did not show her face because of this. She came to knock on the door in person, and brought a bowl of broken rice porridge, two boiled eggs in her hand and a plate of sour diced carrots.

There are few such sumptuous breakfasts in the Wen family.

Seeing Wen Wan a little stunned, Zhou smiled and said, "It's a girl who's about to go out. It's time to raise her well. Our Wan Niang is good-looking. If she's more delicate, the Song Sanlang might like it more. You eat quickly. After eating, I'll take you to the town to cut cloth to make new clothes."

——

Thinking of her getting married soon, Wen Wan picked up a sunny day and said hello to Wen's father to want to go to her mother's grave to worship her.

When Wen's father heard this, he was in a daze and said he would go with her.

The father and daughter stood in front of the grave of Wenwan's biological mother, Lu, for a long time. Wenwan bent down to remove weeds, lit incense for her mother, burned some paper money, and offered a few cakes she made and the wild fruits she picked on the way she came. Then she knelt down and kowtowed her mother three times.

Wen's father also squatted down and burned paper money and whispered a few words.

Wen Wan heard this and Wen's father told Lu that his daughter was about to marry and enjoy her happiness, so that she would not have to worry about her.

Wen’s father doesn’t talk much on weekdays, so it’s rare to say these few words in front of the Lu family’s tomb today.

Wen Wan never figured out the cause of her mother's death. She only heard that her mother was not from Pingjiang County. Her father was a peddler in her early years. One year she went out for a long time. When she came back, she brought a beautiful woman with a big belly. The beautiful woman was her mother, Lu, and the child in her belly was Wen Wan.

Lu had not lived when Wen Wan was three years old. It is said that she died outside and her body did not come back. Now her grave is just an empty tomb with a famous name.

After Wenwan learned sign language, she asked her father how her mother died. Her father told her that they encountered heavy rain on the way back to get the goods, and the river was raising water. Her mother was washed away by the river and could not find her body.

Wen Wan felt that her father might not tell the truth, but after asking a few times, Wen's father said the same thing, so she stopped asking.

After burning the paper money, Wen's father patted the ashes on his hand, then touched Wen Wan's head and said earnestly: "When you were three years old, you fell into an ice hole. It was cold outside. No one noticed it. Fortunately, Song Sanlang passed by and saved your life in time. Only then can you live to this day. Although he was a big deal, he was really good at it. He was a worthy of life. If you marry, he would not treat you badly in the future."

Wenwan raised her head, her face full of surprise. She had long lost remembering the three-year-old incident.

Wen’s father explained, “That time, you got a high fever after you came back and burned your throat.”

Wen Wan understood it and was a little funny. She said that this fiancé was still her savior?
