Chapter Fifty-Eight: Fight for Pastries
Han Xuan chopped firewood with a wooden face, banging and banging, as if he was about to smash the floor into a hole. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Big brother, if you keep quiet, I can't hear my sister-in-law clearly. Han Xian muttered: "I have chopped a lot of firewood in the morning and put it in the stove room, so eldest brother doesn't need to be in a hurry to chop firewood." ā
Luo Qinian raised his eyebrows: Well, let's find another mentor for the fourth brother in the future. She's really not a teacher......
"Dad, mother, Brother Li and I see you coming!" Han Xiu and Li Xianren entered the door hand in hand, her face shy, her eyes glaring at the people in the courtyard.
Han's father and mother were both in the vegetable garden in the backyard and didn't hear her screams. No one in the courtyard paid attention to them, she was a little unhappy, and asked Han Xian with a pout, "Fourth brother, where are my father and mother?"
Han Hyun pointed to the backyard. Han Xiu looked at it, didn't go to the backyard, and raised his feet to go into the house to find snacks to eat. In the blink of an eye, she brought out a plate of freshly steamed mung bean cake from the kitchen, happily twisted a piece and handed it to Li Xianren's mouth. He opened his mouth and took a bite: "It's delicious, it melts in your mouth, sweet but not greasy." ā
"Eat more if it's delicious, you haven't had much breakfast this morning. As he spoke, Han Xiu fed him another piece, and he ate it too, but his eyes stared at Luo Qinian's smiling cheeks.
She was much more beautiful than the last time she had seen it: her sparse yellow hair was black and thick, and the dense folds were coiled into a snail bun at the back of her head, revealing a slender snow-white neck. The soft goose egg cheeks, the curved and thin willow eyebrows, the peach blossom eyes that look forward to Shenfei, the cherry lips of the Qiong nose, and the smile like a flower.
He heard the sound of his own heartbeat, how cheerful, how pleasant.
Han Xuanxing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stood in front of Luo Qinian with an immobile expression, isolating Li Xianren's gaze: "Your sister-in-law is tired, let's learn this today." I'll help you find a mentor tomorrow. ā
Li Xianren laughed, looked away, and secretly regretted that Luo Qinian had a flower inserted on the cow dung.
"Sister-in-law has worked hard. Han Xian gave Luo Qinian a gesture, and Luo Qinian laughed: "Family, you're welcome." After a pause, she said again: "The mung bean cake is cooked, you go and pick it up and let everyone taste it, don't let others eat it in vain." ā
"Hey, that's good!"
Li Xianren looked at the plate with only two mung bean cakes left, and said abruptly: "Sister-in-law, it's rude." It's really a very beautiful pastry made by my sister-in-law, brother-in-law ......"
"Well, our family not only has delicious pastries and fragrant rice, but even the mountain goods picked from the mountains are also unique. You Li family like it, you can't eat enough!"
"What's the matter! My brother Li is a talented man, and if he eats a piece of your pastry, he can afford you!"
"Oh, then I'm so unfortunate that I don't deserve to be favored by the talented master. Please also ask the Xiucai master and the Xiucai lady to get up, then turn back, walk forward dozens of steps, and don't look back. ā
"You! slut!" Han Xiu pounced and was about to hit Luo Qinian, but was stopped by Han Xuan and Li Xianren left and right. At this time, Han's father and they came back, and Han Xiu rushed over and hugged Han's mother's arm as if he saw a rescuer, crying: "Dad, mother, you have to make the decision for me!"
"Xiu'er, did the Li family bully you?" Han's mother was worried, and looked up and down around Han Xiu, but she didn't find that she was injured.
Han Xiu choked angrily, the Li family bullied her except for Li Xianren! Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sad from it, the fake howl turned into a real bitterness, and the choking sound was short.
"Xiu'er, tell your mother what's going on. ā
"Meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law. ā
Li Xianren's warm and moist voice flowed into Han Xiu's ears like a clear spring, making her chaotic brain instantly sober. She wiped her tears: "Mother, no one in the Li family bullied me, it's her!" She pointed at Luo Qinian angrily, and her voice was high-pitched and sharp: "It's this who bullies me!"
"It's okay to go back to your house!" Han Xuan's cold words were like a cold wind in the middle of winter, making Han Xiu's body cold. She shuddered and snuggled up behind Han's mother: "Mother, look at that little slut hooked the soul of the eldest brother and turned his head to deal with his sister-in-law." Mother, mother wants to help me. ā
Mother Han frowned and asked Luo Qinian seriously: "Old family, what's the matter?"
"Mother, I don't care about my sister-in-law. As soon as the little sister came, she went into the kitchen and brought a plate of mung bean cake to Master Xiucai to eat. When the sister-in-law saw that the mung bean cake was cooked, she said that she wanted to pick it up and call everyone to taste it, and the little sister was afraid that we would finish dividing the mung bean cake, and she would not eat more. ā
Han Xian came out of the kitchen, took a big porcelain bowl full of mung bean cakes, and ran to Han's mother with a hippie smile: "Mother, taste it, it's fragrant." What my sister-in-law makes is delicious, better than the pastries in the town's 'century-old shop'. ā
Han's mother smiled and ate a piece of Han Xian's hand, "It's delicious." ā
Han Hyun took the pastry and distributed a few pieces to everyone, except for Han Xiu and Lee Hyun-in.
"Fourth brother, Brother Li and I haven't yet!"
"Ah, you just ate the boss's plate, I thought you were full. ā
Han Xiuyao pouted: "How can you eat that little thing, it's not enough to stuff your teeth." ā
"Oh, that's no way, I didn't make many mung bean cakes today, and I won't have them anymore after I finish dividing them. ā
"If you don't have it, how big is it?"
Han Hyun finished the last piece of cake and clapped his hands. He understood that the Li family was not a scholarly family at all, but a group of shameless beggars.
Li Xianren saw contempt in Han Xian's eyes, and he smiled slightly: "Xiu'er, don't make trouble." If you haven't eaten enough, let's go home and cook it, you have to eat as much as you want, and no one will hold you back. ā
"Our family doesn't ......" Li Xianren quickly pinched her and successfully intercepted her blurted out words.
Han Xiu hurriedly covered his mouth, annoyed. There are really no three hundred taels of silver here, and the second king next door has never stolen it.
Father Han saw it clearly, shook his head and went back to the house, too lazy to care.
Han's mother was sad, thinking that her family would be a pampered daughter who wanted wind and rain, and she couldn't even eat delicious pastries when she married someone else's family. Suddenly, she was a little angry that Han's father handed over all the money he spent on buying vegetables every month to Luo Qinian for safekeeping, so that she couldn't even take out the half-hanging copper coins, so how could she subsidize her daughter?
Weakly, she pointed the finger at Luo Qinian, if it weren't for her, her daughter would not have suffered this crime. also said righteously that she felt sorry for her man, she saw that she was stingy, and she couldn't allow her wife to subsidize her daughter.
Thinking about it, her eyes became sharp, and she shouted: "Old man, don't you see that Xiu'er wants to eat mung bean cake, the pestle is like a piece of wood, why don't you do it quickly!"
Luo Qinian frowned, she shouldn't be disobedient to her mother-in-law's words, so that she has no face in front of people. However, she didn't want to make pastries, especially for Han Xiu to eat.
Han Xuan and Han Xian were also in a dilemma.
"Old woman, where did you put the new gown you made for me before, I can't find it, you come in and find it for me. ā
Han's mother hurriedly entered the house, but saw Han's father and god smoking hookah on a chair sitting by the backyard window, and there was no intention of looking for a gown to wear. I couldn't help asking, "Old man, what are you doing?"
Father Han shook the hookah: "Old woman, you are confused again." ā
This time, Han Mu did not admit her mistake immediately as usual, but stiffened her neck and said, "I'm not confused, I'm sober." The old family's is wrong, I taught her a lesson, didn't you see what she bullied Xiu'er into? You don't feel sorry for your daughter, I hurt myself!"
"Whether the old family bullied Xiu'er or not, we know in our hearts. Xiu'er has been wronged by the Li family, you have to be able to run to the Li family to support her!"
Han's mother's anger disappeared suddenly, and she also wanted to go to the Li family, but her daughter protected the Li family like something, and she couldn't say a word that she didn't like.
Father Han sighed: "The old family's is a good one, don't go too far." ā
Han's mother snorted: "I, I didn't do anything." As he spoke, he threw his sleeves and walked out of the house.
