Volume 1 Chapter 012 The Outer Family
As the sun set, there was a fiery red sunset on the horizon, and the red color was like Mo Xiaohe's cheeks.
The two of them stood on a dirt road in the countryside, looking at each other, with a thousand words hidden in their eyes. He stood in place, watching her slender back leave, feeling that his heart was boiling hot.
God, I finally can't bear to treat him so kindly.
Mo Xiaohe turned her head and saw a tall figure not far away, her heart was sweet, she desperately wanted to go to her grandmother's house to find a mirror and look at the lotus silver hairpin on her head.
Waving her hand, she didn't want him to wait in place for too long, and walked happily towards Lijia Village.
Before they arrived at the door, their grandfather, grandmother, and uncle's family all went to welcome them out. Outside the courtyard, there are still dishes and chopsticks, and it seems that when I heard the news from the lady next door, the family was eating.
"Lotus girl, you come, why don't you let your father give you a trip?"
After walking for nearly an hour, although Mo Xiaohe is a girl in the village, she has been reading and learning calligraphy with Mo Jingshan since she was a child, and she has grown up pampered.
Anyway, take an ox cart, and the family is not short of those three or five copper plates.
"Uncle, just these few steps, what kind of ox cart to ride, how can it be so expensive."
Uncle Li Dazhuang is an authentic peasant man, because his aunt had a miscarriage in his early years, his body was damaged, and when he reached the head of almost thirty, he finally got a son and a daughter.
Cousin Li He worshipped a master in the town to learn the craft of ironsmithing, and the apprentice had to do some work to serve people, and only during the busy farming season and the New Year could he come back to live for a few days and a few days of leisure.
Cousin Li Xiu is Mo Xiaohe's little cousin, the two are in the same year, and their birthdays are a few months apart.
Li Xiu is handsome, has a simple temperament, is honest and responsible, and can do the work inside and outside the home, sewing and mending.
The former is arrogant, but he gets along well with his cousin who is not very literate.
"You girl, but you have changed your temper."
The eldest uncle, Wen, took the cloth bag on Mo Xiaohe's body, and stared at the pheasant with her eyes.
The family life is okay, and once the farming is over, I have never seen oil and water again.
This time, the meat brought by Xiaohe is not old or young, hang it up, and put it every time you stir-fry a little bit to borrow the flavor, you can do it many times, save a little, and it is enough to eat until winter.
The pheasant looks at least five or six catties, remove the gross weight, add some potatoes, stew in a big iron pot, and the family can have a beautiful and full meal.
Wen sighed, and thought of his son Li He in the town.
The last time he was busy farming, Li He came back, he was skinny and skinny, and he suffered a lot in the town.
In these years, people with craftsmanship represent a lifetime of eating and drinking.
Church apprentices, starve to death Master, which master can not have a grudge?
The so-called apprenticeship is free of charge, and he is trained by the master, and what Cheng dΓΉ can learn in the final craft depends on the individual.
"Auntie, my cousin hasn't come back yet, has he?"
Mo Xiaohe gave a gift to her grandparents with great eyes, took her cousin Li Xiu's hand, and took the initiative to care.
In my impression, the eldest aunt is a good person, not greedy, not fond of taking advantage of small advantages, she is happy to see meat, not for herself, thinking of her cousin Li He.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
"No, the blacksmith is busy."
After the busy farming, the family has a lot of work, and now it is necessary to pick up farm tools, dry vegetables, and prepare for winter.
Wen went to the town half a month ago to take a look, Li He was too busy at that time, and the mother and son only hurriedly said a few words through the curtain.
"Xiaohe, where did the pheasant come from?"
Grandma is in her fifties, and Mo Xiaohe's milk is two kinds of people, she is tall, chubby, very ruddy, and speaks with a smile.
My grandfather was tall and thin and didn't like to talk, but his eyes flashed with doubts.
The report from the house next door did not say that the granddaughter was followed by an ugly man, and the two seemed quite close.
Could it be that the lotus girl is married?
"Grandparents, I'm hungry and haven't eaten yet."
This matter is a long story, Mo Xiaohe decided to talk to his cousin first, peers, and more topics.
Originally, the Mo family was against this family business, so you must tell your grandmother's family well, so that you may be able to get a strong assist.
If the grandmother is against it, and the grandparents don't agree, the father and mother are so filial and difficult to be a person in the middle, and they may change their attitude.
She didn't want any accidents to happen to this family business.
When Mo Xiaohe arrived, the eldest aunt Wen was busy and went to the stove to scramble two eggs.
Taking advantage of the gap, Mo Xiaohe went to her cousin Li Xiu's room and took a picture of the bronze mirror on the dresser.
Ordinary people in the village can't afford to buy a bronze mirror, and if they have good conditions, they will accompany them in their daughter's dowry.
My cousin's bronze mirror was Wen's dowry back then, and the edges and corners on the sides of the bronze mirror have been smoothed out.
"Cousin, this lotus hairpin is really worthy of you."
Li Xiu folded his hands, fiddled with his cuffs, and faced the person in the bronze mirror, there was a trace of nervousness.
In the blurred bronze mirror, there is a flower-like face, Mo Xiaohe's apricot eyes, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, although there is no grease powder, but it is naturally charming and gorgeous.
"Really?"
Mo Xiaohe smiled sweetly when he thought of that person, and the beauty in the mirror became more and more moving.
Li Xiu always felt that his cousin was a little different.
My cousin used to be cold, a little tall, and looked rather old-fashioned and unapproachable, but now it seems to be a different person.
"It's still my aunt's willingness, but you're fourteen years old, and you're so beautiful, you should buy a few good pieces of jewelry."
Li Xiu didn't have any jealousy, and it was natural to say that she was very envious of her little cousin, who was born with a good looks, and she could get the favor of her family without much effort.
She has a mediocre appearance and a stupid mouth, so she can only do more work and give people the impression of ingenuity, so that she can marry a good family in the future.
"I didn't buy it for me."
Mo Xiaohe turned her head and smiled mysteriously, she rubbed her shriveled stomach, "I can smell the fragrance of my aunt's scrambled eggs!" β
"You."
Li Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, pulled Mo Xiaohe back to the Li family's dinner table, and a few people chatted while eating.
Mo Xiaohe consciously avoided the topic of Orion, and carefully talked about his own trivial matters, his father, mother, eldest brother, and so on.
She gave her cousin Li Xiu a slightly calm look, she was going to stay with her uncle for a few days, and she had time to confess to her cousin.
