004 That's not appropriate, is it?
004 That's not appropriate, right?
The old man was angry, and several people immediately fell silent, bowed their heads to eat and did not dare to speak again.
Li Banxia went back to the kitchen, lifted the lid of the pot, shoveled two shovels of rice soup inside, covered the pot, and sat down on the stove and added a handful of firewood.
After the kitchen was done, Li Banxia slowly walked back to the hall.
This time she didn't bother herself, sat down between the two brothers, looked at it, and finally took a seat between her mother and her younger siblings.
Xia Shanxiang didn't say anything, but moved her body away, as far away from her as possible.
Ma Huanglian also frowned, and she didn't know if it was because she suddenly walked away, or because she sat next to her.
"Let's eat when you come, the family has something to do, and you have to go to work after eating, don't grind."
"Hmm~~" Li Banxia responded lightly, thought about it, lowered his head and said to others as much as possible: "The rice soup is boiling, you go to serve a bowl and drink after eating, and your body is more active." ”
"In the future, you don't need to cook rice soup in the morning, watch it at noon and at night, cook it when it's hot, forget it on cloudy days, don't waste firewood. It takes a lot of work to carry a bundle of firewood back from the mountain, so don't burn it lavishly, and you don't cut it when it's done, it's the two brothers. The work of the two brothers is heavy enough, they go to the field during the day, and they have to go to the field when they come back from the field, how can they still have the spirit to go up the mountain? Dongshan's father is old, and you and Shanxiang are thin, so you can't help it, how can you do it if you don't save some burning? ”
Not again! Mother's nagging.
“…… Got it, mother. Li Banxia was really speechless, not that the old man's abacus was too fine, but that everyone in the family liked to drink a bowl of rice soup, and she had never seen her old man fall, but she was still stunned when she talked about her.
Anyway, in her old man's eyes, everything is her fault......
After eating, those who should go to work go to work, those who should go back to the room go to the room, go to the field to the field, go to play to play, and leave Li Banxia to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
He quickly brought an empty plate of plates to the pot, picked up a rag and wiped the table back and forth. I didn't want my mother to see it and nag, so I didn't dare to waste firewood to boil the dishwashing water, and went outside to take back the melon cover that was drying on the stone pile, and wiped the bowl in turn.
After washing the dishes, drenching them dry, stacking them in a neat stack and placing them in the cupboard, closing the cupboard door, splashing the water out of the open window outside the kitchen, and tidying up before coming out of the inside.
The clothes she was going to wash had already been packed by her mother, and placed in a large basket, where she could see as soon as she raised her eyes, and before she went out, she beckoned her to be sent to the ditch to wash.
Everyone's clothes were rubbed together, Li Banxia's eyebrows jumped, she didn't know whose clothes belonged to her sister-in-law, and whose clothes belonged to her uncle and younger siblings. Just let her go, she didn't want to.
What she really doesn't want to do, it's useless for anyone to say.
Regardless of whether Ma Shi would say anything about her when he came back, Li Banxia glanced at the basket of clothes twice, and after making sure that he really couldn't tell where they belonged, he walked out of the house without looking back.
She heard Ma Shi say that Liu Dongshan loves potatoes the most, and they are the kind of potato chips that are fried and cut into large slices, and it would be even more delicious if there was bacon fried together.
The family's land was in a big pond not far in front, and she went there to pick vegetables. There are a total of five plots of land there, two of which belong to one's own family, one belongs to the uncle's family, and the other two belong to the third uncle's family.
A few mulberry leaves were planted in the ground, and the branches of the mulberry leaves were not large, and the seedlings were not high, so they were newly planted. From the end of the field to the end of the ground, there are still more than a dozen tea trees planted. The tea tree is two people tall, and its branches are flexible and powerful, and children can swing in it. In the summer heat, children enjoy the cool and peek-a-boo inside. If you weren't worried about a bee sting, you would still want to sleep inside!
The tea tree is only as low as Li Banxia's waist, clustered, extremely small and cute. Every busy tea season, the family, whether male or female, old or young, gathers in the tea field.
With a small stool, a straw hat, and a teapot, the short ones picked the tea leaves under the tea trees, and the tall ones picked the top ones. At a very high place, you pull the tea branch and I will pick it, and the division of labor and cooperation are coordinated. The small one is also responsible for drilling the tea tree, and going inside to pick up the tea that is lazy and afraid of the sun and hiding in it to steal the cool tea.
Li Banxia carried the basket into the field, picked a potato that was growing well, bent down, took out the picket and dug it at the bulging place. After digging twice, two small thumb-sized potatoes appeared. Li Banxia is stupid, could it be that he hasn't grown up yet, right? If such a big potato is dug back, her mother must kill her.
Forget it, this one has been excavated, how can there be any reason not to dig it up? Digging hard at the bottom twice, suddenly the guy in his hand blocked, Li Banxia was happy in his heart, hey! There is a door!
Flipping hard, a huge potato jumped out of the ground, dazzling Li Banxia's eyes.
Encouraged and knowing that it was time for the potatoes to be eaten, Li Banxia found a few more plants in a row and dug them out one by one.
It was estimated that he could fry two bowls, and then stopped.
With these potatoes, she can improve the food for the children in the family at noon, and she doesn't want others to doubt her craftsmanship even if she doesn't worry about others getting tired of eating them.
When she used to rely on her grandfather, her grandfather had to see people, and most of the time she cooked the food. After more than ten years of experience, although her skills dare not say that the level of a chef, it is still better than that of ordinary chefs.
However, the level of cooking of the predecessor of this body is also good, otherwise she would not be able to ask for a good job of taking care of the house. It's good that you don't get noticed. Cooking soared overnight, and even a fool would think there was something wrong.
In fact, Li Banxia didn't know that she had only married into the Liu family for half a month, and even if the Ma family was unwilling to enter the new daughter-in-law, she was embarrassed to give her multiple jobs. Letting her cook rice was just a matter not long after she woke up, in fact, when the Liu family first ate the dish she cooked, they all had a feeling: this dish is much better than that of Niang and Shanxiang.
When Li Banxia went back with the basket, her sister-in-law Liu Yinxing and Xia Shanxiang were coming back from outside, and they heard that a fun foreigner came to the house, so they hurried to see the excitement.
"Sister-in-law, don't you see that the stranger who came down from the house sang a very beautiful song in a northern voice. By the way, he can still play the handle. Liu Yinxing's face flashed with joy, and her eyes were still excited about what she had just seen.
Li Banxia smiled and listened attentively to her, but did not speak. She knew very well that if she said a word to her, Liu Yinxing, who was still so excited that her face was pink, might not be able to laugh. She would frown in disgust and find herself in the wrong place.
Although Dayang Village is an ordinary small mountain village, it is famous for its abundance of inkstones. There is a famous inkstone mountain nearby, and many people come to the inkstone mountain to work as miners and earn some money to support their families. The inkstone circulating on the market is indeed carved by the local people with a hammer and a chisel.
The local inkstone is of high quality, and because it saves various costs and the difference in the price earned by the merchants, the price is much cheaper than that in the four treasures of the study, so many people come to Dayang Village every year to buy inkstones.
When there are more people, the village has more fame. Some Langzhong, who picked up goods and went to the countryside or went to the village, also came to the village, and the countryside gradually became lively.
The stranger with a northern accent that Liu Yinxing said in his mouth must be one of them.
The three of them chatted and entered the door, Liu Yinxing was talking to Li Banxia about the novelty of the stranger, and Xia Shanxiang, who didn't say much, suddenly exclaimed: "Sister-in-law, why is your basket of clothes still here, haven't you taken it to wash?" ”
"Ahh Li Banxia nodded absently. She can go out and play, but she can't rest for a while? Besides, she's not going to play yet.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't washed this clothes yet, don't want to let it dry today! When my mother comes back after a while, it's time to say that you're lazy. ”
Hehe! Jokes, she is not afraid to say, why should she be afraid?
"Sister-in-law, did you hear what I was saying? I asked you to quickly take this basket of clothes to be washed, and strive to wash and dry them before my mother comes back, otherwise my mother will ask for a while, and I won't help you. ”
Li Banxia smiled, listen, what kind of tone is she? Is it a "younger sibling" to have a tone for "sister-in-law"? Won't help me? Does she need it?
"It's not that I don't want to wash it, it's that I can't."
"What do you say?"
"You and your uncle, and your sister-in-law's clothes are accidentally in the wrong way, I'm afraid that one of you will wash your clothes carelessly, and I want to wait for you to come back."
"Not all the clothes at home ......"
"Dongshan and the children are fine, the clothes of my younger siblings and uncle, I want my sister-in-law to wash them, this is ...... It's not good......"
