Chapter 165: The Executioner

When I went home to the new yard, Mo Xiaohe fetched water again, cleaned it up, and repainted the walls, only the new furniture and ornaments were missing, and there was a warm taste of home. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are residents on both sides around, husband and wife should be restrained, Mo Xiaohe covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming, she hadn't been able to get used to it completely, but her husband Gu Zheng's physical strength was too good, too long-lasting, and she fainted many times.

After washing, Mo Xiaohe, who was satisfied, couldn't sleep, she thought wildly, her cousin Mo Daya is really a heroine among women, in the face of the enemy who almost killed her, she can still act so realistically, if it weren't for the deed in hand, she almost believed it.

Li Er and Lao Qianpo are also masters in acting, it depends on who kills the deer and who can fight whom, Mo Xiaohe thinks that her cousin will definitely be better with her help.

"It's the third watch, go to bed early."

There are no more mosquitoes in the town than in the mountains, and mosquito repellent grass is planted in the courtyard, Gu Zheng carefully looked for a circle of mosquitoes in the mosquito net, and saw that there were no leaks, so he extinguished the oil lamp.

In a blink of an eye, it is almost August of the lunar calendar, and there is an important festival in August, the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, last year, he is still alone, and he must celebrate well this year.

Their own lady has planned, the husband and wife make moon cakes by hand, give them to relatives at home, commemorate the first Mid-Autumn Festival since they got married, early tomorrow morning, they go to the iron shop to find Li He, to make an iron box, which will be specially used to bake cakes and snacks in the future.

"Husband, what flavor of mooncakes do you want to eat? Jujube paste, bean paste, five kernels. ”

There are at most these three kinds of fillings in the town, and they are not cheap, so ordinary people buy a piece, worship the moon, and then cut it with a knife, and eat it separately among the whole family to satisfy their hunger. If the conditions of the people in the village are not good, they will replace it with a penny or two baked cakes, which are round anyway, and should be a scene, if there is that exquisite, it will be made into sugar cakes, and some sesame seeds will be put in it.

"I don't pick."

Gu Zheng had only eaten moon cakes once, he even forgot what it was like, every year, during the festival, he hunted alone in the mountains, and when he saw the moon was round, he suddenly remembered that maybe he also had relatives, but he didn't know where.

"I know you don't like to eat sweet, I'll make egg yolk ham mooncakes for you."

After Mo Xiaohe finished speaking, he was a little worried, the best smoked and roasted ham, there is a time-honored semicolon in the county, he often queues up, buys and hangs at home, and wants to eat a piece of cutting, whether it is stew, stir-fry, soup, the taste is good, but the egg yolk is not easy.

There are no pickled salted duck eggs at home, I want to buy them, that's all, only egg yolks are used to make moon cakes, not egg whites, and the rest are not wasted, she foresees that she will have to eat salted duck egg whites for several days.

"Tomorrow, I will find my cousin to order a few molds."

"Fulu Suxi" and "Family Reunion" have more catchy and auspicious words, which means that the family is happy to eat.

Mo Xiaohe thought, sat up, leaned on Gu Zheng's chest, and unconsciously pulled his chest hair with her hand, she thought to her father, mother, and the unreliable eldest brother, the Mid-Autumn Festival, destined not to be able to spend it with them, what about her husband, will she miss her relatives in Licheng?

She reminded herself that she had to send something to express her heart during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and recently she was going to draw a few pictures of the customs and customs of Dawu and send them to her in-laws, which was a little bit of a junior.

Several hairs on his chest were plucked out, Gu Zheng's eyes darkened, and he looked down at his lady's white and tender little hands, not knowing whether to stop it, when did she develop such a habit? That's it, my own lady likes it, anyway, it's not very painful, he's a man, bear with it!

"I'll go find out the news tomorrow, and you will stay in the blacksmith shop and wait for me to come back."

If Mo Daya's matter is not completely resolved, it has always been a thorn in Mo Xiaohe's heart, for this reason Gu Zheng is very concerned, they can find someone to pretend to be a buyer, and let the old goddess take the bait, so greedy for money, it is impossible not to be moved.

In the middle of the night, it rained, the raindrops knocked on the window lattice, making a rhythmic crackling sound, Mo Xiaohe listened to the sound of the rain, fell asleep in a daze, never dreamed, just dawn, she woke up.

Touching the other side of the bed casually, there was no temperature, she sat up from the bed with a carp, her husband's habit has always been like this, no matter how late she sleeps, she will still get up early the next day, and it is difficult for her to pull him to the bed.

The toiletries have been prepared, Mo Xiaohe changed into a set of tender yellow cotton dresses, embroidered tender spring flowers on the cuffs and skirt corners, the rain stopped, the ground was very dry, the blue sky was like washing, and it was a good weather.

"Up? Just in time for breakfast. ”

Gu Zheng carried the tofu flowers and fried fritters he bought, looked for the dishes and chopsticks and put them away, Mo Xiaohe just sat on the chair and started eating, the tofu flowers in the west of the city took half an hour to go back and forth, so it could be seen that he went out before dawn.

"Husband, you don't have to go that far, there are sales in the market, just walk a few steps."

Mo Xiaohe ate a big bowl full of dishes, there was nothing left, and then took the initiative to wash the dishes and chopsticks, she made a pot of tea, and saw a small jar on the stove, which contained a jar of honey.

After returning home last night, she casually said that Gu Zheng remembered it in her heart, and went to the market before dawn to wait for the beekeeper and buy all the honey back.

People feel happy, often not earth-shattering events, the water flows for a long time, Mo Xiaohe feels as if soaked in warm water, bathed in the sun, warm, and a little moved.

According to the arrangement, Gu Zheng sent Mo Xiaohe to the blacksmith shop, and as soon as Mo Xiaohe entered the door, he saw that his cousin Li Xiu was also there, his eyes were red, as if he had cried.

"What's going on?"

Mo Xiaohe was surprised, he was fine when he left yesterday, but now he appears in the shop, which means that Li Xiutian is not bright and walks in the dark.

"I didn't walk, I took an ox cart, and someone from the village rushed to the market and brought it to me."

Li Xiu took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, Niang Wenshi secretly arranged for her to look at each other, and didn't tell her at all, Li Xiu felt that she was a big cabbage, let people choose, she felt insulted. Go to the man's house, this is not clear? On the surface, it is to look at the man's family background, but in fact, the man also has to examine her.

"It's like I can't get married."

Li Xiu's heart couldn't turn around, and she suddenly had some resistance to family affairs, she tossed and turned last night, and Feng Dachun's shadow was in her mind, he was honest and passable, he was cheated and imprisoned for two days, and when she met the father and daughter by chance, she didn't say that she wanted to take revenge.

He roasted pig's trotters very seriously, didn't talk much, and sometimes was very humorous, Li Xiu talked to him, and felt that his whole person was bright, maybe this is fate, she has never felt like this.

"But, aren't they all like this?"

Either the man comes to the door, or the woman comes to the door, if he sees it, the matchmaker will be a middle-aged person, and the words are passed on at both ends, Mo Xiaohe thinks this is not bad, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, meet before getting married, it is better than a blind and dumb marriage.

As for what temperament, these are not important, anyway, the people of Dawu are all appearance associations, the key is to look at the face, as long as there is an eye, everything is not a problem!

"The last time I went to the matchmaker's house with my mother, the man's mother said that my ass is not big, and it will not be good to have a son in the future......"

After Li Xiu finished speaking, her face turned red with shame, at that time she thought she was pork on the cutting board, because it was not pork belly and there was no oil and water, and she was disgusted by the buyer.

"Poof......

This metaphor made Mo Xiaohe can't help but squirt out a mouthful of water, but she didn't see that her cousin is also a joker, she touched her nose and comforted, "It's nothing, personal tastes are different, for example, I like to gnaw bones." ”

Li Xiu was still crying sadly just now, and was speechless by Mo Xiaohe's words, in fact, she was in her heart now, and her mother found out that she had run away, and she would definitely come to the town to find someone, and she would beat her up.

"This matter is barely coming, if you have any ideas, just explain to your aunt that escaping will not solve the problem."

Mo Xiaohe's thinking mode is very modern, you have to find someone you like, otherwise you will be together, you will not see you when you look up, you will be annoyed when you look at it, it will be too painful. However, the Dawu woman does not have this concept at all.

"I ...... I kind of like Brother Dachun. ”

Li Xiu looked confused, with Feng Dachun's conditions, the Li family would not agree, he is a Dayue person, without a father or mother, and has no foundation, unless he is rich, but Feng Dachun is a person with backbone, and he will never be a son-in-law.

"Well, he can't be a son-in-law."

Mo Xiaohe said the bad things about the Jiang family, Jiang Tiezhu took the initiative to be a son-in-law, and finally forced Uncle Jiang to break off the father-son relationship with him, Feng Dachun is Jiang Tiezhu's brother-in-law, how could he follow his old path?

Before Uncle Jiang went back, he asked Feng Dachun, hoping that he would marry a wife and have children in Dawu, Feng Dachun had no such plan, he was a person who had been in prison, he didn't want to deceive and hide others, he just wanted to change the environment and start over, and he didn't think about getting married for the time being.

"Cousin, you have to think about it, if you marry, you can only live with him in a rented house, are you willing?"

Feng Dachun doesn't like to take advantage of others, even if the Li family has the ability to provide a good environment, he will not accept it.

"Yes, it's not like that in the village, I can do work to subsidize the family, he is also a willing worker, save a few years of silver, enough to buy a small yard."

Li Xiu's eyes lit up, and she took Mo Xiaohe's hand, full of hope, "Cousin, can you help me?" ”

This kind of thing is not wishful thinking, Mo Xiaohe is very embarrassed, she is always not good to ask directly, if she makes her own opinion, and her uncle and aunt do not agree, she will complain. While the two were talking, Wen Shi panted and rushed into the door, picked up a feather duster, and walked towards Li Xiu, her face turned red and she was angry, "Evil, you can make money by yourself, the idea is big, right, don't listen to your father's words?" ”

said that she thought about it well, but when she fed a chicken, her daughter ran away, so she had to go to the matchmaker's house to apologize, lying that Li Xiu was sick, and she couldn't say that her daughter was unhappy and ran away!

There is no need to sum up, this family business cannot be designated, who wants to marry a sick seedling? In this way, the young men in the surrounding villages who have not married are about to be seen all over each other!

"Mother, I don't want to go!"

The room was not big, Li Xiu had no choice but to hide behind Mo Xiaohe, the dead duck had a hard mouth, Wen was afraid of Mo Xiaohe, and did not make a ruthless move, so he screamed angrily, "What did you say?" Tell me again? ”

"The eldest brother hasn't gotten married yet, so he came first."

was pulled by his cousin's sleeves, Li Xiu finally got smarter, and knew that he would definitely not get any benefit from being hard-hitting, so he had to push it on Li He.

"You two, you don't have to worry about it!"

Wen doesn't dare to talk to people casually now, for fear of being asked about her children's relatives, and she can't say a word.

"Auntie, you came in a hurry, take a sip of tea to quench your thirst first."

The mother and daughter were at a stalemate, Mo Xiaohe saw this, hurriedly poured tea and water, and said a few good words, it's not that she doesn't pay attention to righteousness, in this case, it must be flashed, so as not to harm the pond fish, "Auntie, you and your cousin didn't have breakfast, I'll go to the kitchen to give you two noodles to eat." ”

Before Li Xiu could ask for help, Mo Xiaohe was more cunning than a loach, acted quickly, opened the curtain and ran out. "Say, what are you thinking, you have long seen that something is wrong with you, and you can't give up."

Wen took a sip of tea, only their mother and daughter, there was no need to save Li Xiu's face at all, "The ugly words are ahead, no one in our family is a concubine, if you like a merry scholar and want to be a concubine, you will cut off the relationship with the family." ”

"Mother, what did you say!"

Li Xiu rubbed her forehead, she was really wronged, when did she say that she was going to be a concubine for the scholar? Although many girls in the village have such thoughts and admire scholars, in the end, everyone gets married in a down-to-earth manner.

She is no exception, seeing her cousin doing so well and being held in the palm of her husband's hand, Li Xiu seems to have suddenly understood that if she can marry Feng Dachun, she will definitely be able to live like that.
