Li Xiu poked her head out in the stove, and looked at the brother and sister who came to the door curiously, yesterday her father and mother said that someone would come to visit today, she thought it was Mo Xiaohe and Gu Zheng, who expected that two strangers really came.

"The family has just moved to the town, why are you so polite to invite you to dinner? What else are you carrying? ”

Wen wiped her hands with an apron, the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and she was quite enthusiastic about Lin Xiucai, in her eyes, if her daughter could marry into the Lin family, it was a good family affair that was difficult to find with a lantern, and it was much more reliable than Feng Dachun, a foreigner.

"It's not worth anything, auntie, my brother and I are here to eat for nothing, how can there be any reason to come to the door empty-handed."

Lin Shuang pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't recognize life at all, her lively temperament was easy to make people feel good, she and Lin Xiucai handed over the things in their hands to Li He, and followed him into the house.

Mo Xiaohe saw that there were many people in the house, so he took the opportunity to come out and help in the stove, and it could be seen that the eldest aunt had worked hard, and the dishes had been picked, washed, cut and put in a white porcelain plate.

"Cousin, why don't you go into the house?"

Mo Xiaohe added some water to the pot, and her grandfather opened the tea she sent, to entertain Lin Xiucai, she had just made tea here, waiting to be brought out.

"Xiaohe, why do I think something is wrong?"

Li Xiu threw the rag on the stove and thought about it with a frown, "When did my brother have a friend who reads, why don't I know?" It seems that they are still familiar with each other. ”

Of course you don't know, it's for you, Mo Xiaohe muttered in her heart, but she didn't say it, she shook her head, and she was confused, and she didn't know what to ask.

Lin Shuang couldn't stay after sitting in the room for a while, Wen saw this, liked her little daughter's innocence and romance, and said, "Then you go to Xiu'er and Xiaohe, you are of the same age, you have something to say, you don't have to accompany us old ones." ”

"Whatever my aunt said, I couldn't sit still."

Lin Shuang's face was red, she came out of the door with a twist, and when she arrived in the courtyard, her spirit immediately became different, she saw Mo Xiaohe in the stove, so she came to ask if there was anything to help.

After thinking about it, Li Xiu also came back to his senses, the eldest brother Li He should have gotten married a long time ago, but because of many changes, it has been delayed until now, and now the family has a yard in the town, which is also magnificent enough, so my father and mother asked someone to introduce them and found Lin Shuang to see each other.

"You're here as a guest, so why do you need your help?"

Li Xiu hurriedly waved his hand, the time was still early, it was too late to stir-fry in an hour, there was no work in the stove, the dishes had already been prepared, just waiting for the pot to be stir-fried, and it would be served.

Lin Shuang twittered, self-reported home, her house is only a quarter of an hour's road from the yard, very close, she has not yet decided to marry, and her father and mother do not restrict her, Lin Shuang invited Li Xiu to her house as a guest, and called "Sister Xiu" sweetly.

Lin Shuang's inadvertent words made Li Xiu instantly feel that she was the truth, she didn't decide to marry, it turned out that she was really for the eldest brother to see, no wonder her mother was so enthusiastic, she was a girl who fell in love with Xiucai.

The Lin family has a good upbringing, although Lin Shuang is enthusiastic, she is not rude, she is literate and hyphenated, and she is not as high as the original Mo Xiaohe, Li Xiu has a very good impression of her.

Mo Xiaohe chatted with the two, but she didn't know that she was unconsciously treated as a negative example by her cousin, and she couldn't help it, the black pots in her predecessor were now carried by her!

"Let's go, let's go to my cousin's boudoir and sit down."

Mo Xiaohe took the initiative to propose, Lin Shuang followed the two into the newly arranged boudoir, and immediately opened her mouth wide and exclaimed, God, she once went to a young lady's boudoir as a guest, and there was a maid and a grandmother beside the young lady, who thought she was very elegant, but the ornaments were really cheesy, and there was no way to compare with Li Xiu's!

Although it doesn't seem that there are too many valuable objects, it can be seen that Li Xiu has good taste, Lin Shuang rolled her eyes, their brother and sister came to the door, and they also had thoughts, the eldest brother studied in his early years, delayed his marriage, and then got a job in the yamen, and it was time to find a daughter-in-law.

Her mother said that the daughter of the high-family family, the low-door wife, their family is the ordinary conditions, and they don't want to find an aunt to come back to serve.

In Lin Shuang's eyes, his eldest brother is good at learning, and his husband praises him for his talent, he was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, and after accumulating for three or five years, he may not be able to lift people in the examination.

"These are all small items that my cousin brought back from Kyoto."

Li Xiu doesn't like to show off, she is low-key enough, she sees Lin Shuang as her future sister-in-law, and she is afraid that her family will be looked down upon, so she deliberately said so.

"Xiaohe, have you been to Otsu Kyoto? That's going to be a long way away, right? ”

The farthest place Lin Shuang went to was Fucheng, or the family cooperated with her eldest brother to participate in the hospital exam, she borrowed light, went around Fucheng for a few days, walked out of Dawu, Dayue in the north, and it was the same again.

"Well, it's going to take more than a month to travel in a carriage."

The two chatted, Mo Xiaohe quickly joined in, Li Xiu and Lin Shuang both wanted to have a good relationship with each other, and they laughed after a while, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly coordinated and lively, and their laughter could be heard in the upper room.

Mo Xiaohe briefly said a few words about the feeling of going to Kyoto, and sent two purses brought back from Kyoto, with incense in them, the smell was too pungent, and the future sister-in-law Zhang Xianxian was moved over in a box, she didn't need it, and gave some of it to the villagers in Mojia Village.

Rare things are expensive, Mo Xiaohe thinks it's not worth silver and doesn't like things, to Lin Shuang, this is a rare commodity, she accepted it cheekily, thanked and thanked, and bluntly said that she couldn't collect things in vain, and next time she must prepare a return gift for Mo Xiaohe.

"Xiaohe, you got married so early!"

Lin Shuang is two months older than Mo Xiaohe's birthday, not only did she not get married, but she didn't talk about others, her father and mother said that being a girl is the happiest day, and when she goes to her mother-in-law's house in the future, she can't be willful, she must take care of the overall situation.

"Getting married has the benefits of getting married, and you can have someone to take care of you."

Li Xiu's original intention was to say a few good words to his eldest brother, although Li He sometimes nagged, he was a careful person, with a good temper, duty, and diligence.

This sentence, to Lin Shuang's ears, immediately misunderstood, she thought it was Li Xiu's emotion, hated to marry, she pondered to go home and talk to her father, if they think it is appropriate, they will come to the Li family as soon as possible to propose, the eldest brother is not young, and the family affairs cannot be delayed.

The two misunderstood each other's meaning, only Mo Xiaohe, who was like a mirror in her heart, wanted to laugh when she heard the two of them testing each other, but she still endured it.

chatted for half an hour, Li Xiu and Lin Shuang hated each other, they both had similar hobbies, and they also liked to sneak into novels, the topic of conversation between the two people, Mo Xiaohe couldn't interject, she made tea under the pretext and went out.

"Husband, I washed a sweet pear for you."

Mo Xiaohe pulled Gu Zheng down to the stone table under the shade of the tree, and wiped Gu Zheng's sweat with a handkerchief, her husband is a solid eye, he has to work wherever he goes, he can't stop at all, they come to be guests, and they are not coolies, just take a hand.

"What do you think of Lin Xiucai?"

"I don't understand."

Gu Zheng seeks truth from facts, you can't look at people's appearance, you have to look at the way you speak and do things and your attitude, at present, it seems that she is a modest person, if this is the case, it is a good family education, this kind of person will not mix too badly in the future.

It is said that scholars are pedantic and don't know how to be flexible, but the Lin family is not, they don't come to the door empty-handed, one brother and sister are quiet, the other is active, but they are not out of line.

Lin Shuang is in Li Xiu's house, looking at the ornaments just to see, not to touch, this can at least reflect some literacy, I heard that Lin's father and Lin's mother are also literate, and the family is a well-off family.

A family of four, without inviting anyone, eating and wearing by themselves, happy and happy, Mo Xiaohe thought, if there is no Feng Dachun, my cousin will marry her, it will be really a blessing.

At the end of the morning, the eldest aunt prepared dinner in advance, Lin Shuang followed Li Xiu to serve the food, greeted people warmly, Mo Xiaohe's grandparents moved to the town, they were already in a good mood, and they were even more amused, and they made up their minds that they must marry the Lin family.

Li Xiu didn't expect it to have something to do with her, so she didn't dodge, she behaved quite generously and decently, during the banquet, she was afraid that Lin Shuang wouldn't be able to let go, so she took the initiative to help with the dishes, and the guests and hosts enjoyed this meal.

Lin Xiucai didn't talk much, but he was not cold, he could answer anything politely, and the more the Li family looked at a pair of brothers and sisters, the more satisfied they became.

After the meal, he washed the melons and fruits, and kept the people until sunset, and before leaving, the Wen family also chose two pieces of moon cakes made by Mo Xiaohe as a return gift to the Lin brothers and sisters.

"Auntie, you're too outside, let's eat, how can you eat and take it!"

Lin Shuang hurriedly shirked it, she liked the Li family very much, she was enthusiastic and kind, and Li Xiu got along well with her, she had to tell her father and mother when she went home, come early to propose, such a good sister-in-law, don't be robbed first.

"Take it, let's also borrow flowers to offer Buddha, which was made up by the little lotus girl."

Wen put the small basket into Lin Shuang's hand, stood at the door, and watched the brother and sister go away, and then entered the house briskly.

Mo Xiaohe will not stay for long, presumably after a while, there will be a big war in the Li family, she wanted to run away unkindly, and pulled her husband back home with a bag of dried shrimp given by the Wen family.

Dried shrimp is not common, it is Wen's eldest brother who went to the field to run errands, passed by the seaside town, bought it back, came back to soak in water and stir-fry, it is not as delicious as the freshly peeled live shrimp, but you can also taste it.

It's another sunset, the moon has climbed into the sky early, and tomorrow is August 15, the day of family reunion.

Although her father and eldest brother are in Kyoto, she has a husband Gu Zheng, and the two of them are together, walking on the way home, plain and comfortable, how can it be another consummation.

The sky is slowly getting dark, the dark blue sky, getting higher and higher, Mo Xiaohe likes to walk on the road, looking at the pedestrians around her who are hurrying home, whenever this time, her heart is very soft, home is belonging.
