Chapter 173: Going Home
Li Man and others set off from the morning, without the expectation and joy when they came, this home is more like an escape, along the way, everyone has very few words, even the ox cart does not stop halfway, tired and hungry, everyone only sits on the ox cart, simply eat some dry food.
After a bumpy ride, I finally got home at sunset.
Da Yongniang was mixing pig food under the eaves, and when she saw the ox cart entering the yard, she was very happy, "Da Lang, are you all back?" ”
"Oh." Li Mo got off the ox cart first, tightened the reins, and the others came down one after another.
Li Man greeted Da Yongniang, "Auntie, thanks to you for taking care of the family in the past two days." ”
"Hehe, it's nothing, I'm about to feed the pigs." Da Yongniang put down the pig food and walked over to look at Li Man, her eyes were slightly strange, "Yo, Man'er, why didn't you sleep well at night?" I don't think I'm feeling a little energetic. ”
"I didn't have much rest on the road, I was tired, I didn't get in the way, I had a good night's sleep, and I was refreshed tomorrow." Li Man smiled and said that she didn't want to think about the incident that happened last night.
"Uh-huh." Da Yongniang was relieved, "You go into the house to rest, I'll feed the pigs first, by the way, you haven't had dinner yet, right?" I'll come over and cook in a moment. ”
"No need, auntie, I'll do it myself." Li Man declined.
Da Yongniang said with a smile, "Rushing back from the county seat, it's such a long way, but it's tired, right?" Let's get inside and rest. ”
After saying that, she carried a small bucket of pig food to the backyard.
At this time, Li Hua came out of the kitchen with a basin of water and put it on a small stool under the eaves, "Man'er, wash your face first." ”
"Hmm." Li Man rolled up his sleeves, bent down, and washed his face with cold water, and suddenly felt that the hot air dissipated a lot.
At this time, Da Yongniang came back with an empty bucket, "Man'er, if you want to eat something at night, Da Yong Niang will make it for you." ”
"Auntie, no need, we're all back, just do it yourself." Li Hua smiled and answered for Li Man.
"You're welcome." Da Yongniang smiled, and entered the kitchen while carrying the wooden bucket, Li Hua followed in, Li Man poured the washing water, and also entered the kitchen.
Da Yongniang put down the wooden bucket and took the vegetable pot to scoop the noodles, "At night, the eldest lady will make you gnocchi, how about it?" ”
"Hmm." Da Yongniang is so enthusiastic, Li Man can't refuse anymore, so she only follows behind to make a move.
"I don't need you, just sit and rest." Da Yongniang smiled and asked her to sit on the chair, and glanced at Li Hua again, "Shiro, you go back to your own room, let us talk to each other." ”
Li Hua is not very worried about Li Man, she is tired this day, and she hasn't eaten much, so I'm afraid that she won't be able to hold on.
"You go back to the house to rest first, I'll talk to my aunt here." Li Man also said.
Li Hua nodded, "Then I'll go over first, and you can call me if you have something." ”
"Zhilu Dao." Li Huawan smiled and watched him go out.
Flutter - Da Yong Niang looked at them like this and laughed.
"What's wrong?" Li Man turned his head and asked curiously.
Da Yongniang smiled while kneading her dough, "You two are really good, you two stick together all day long, and you can't separate them." ”
Li Man's little face was hot, "Auntie"
"Ha Luha, shy?" Da Yongniang looked at her with a smile, and looked a little envious, "But, seriously, Da Lang's brothers are really good, you can marry them, it's also a blessing, I've been married to this village for almost 20 years, and I've never seen a man feel so sorry for his daughter-in-law like their brother." ”
"Hmm." Li Man lowered his head and nodded slightly.
Da Yongniang said while busy, "Tell me about this county?" I won't tell you the truth, my aunt has lived for such a long time, and in the town outside the mountain, she can count dozens of fingers when she goes. ”
"The county seat?" Originally, in this time and space, it was the first time for her to go far away, with full expectations, but ——, thought that last night, the family was almost thrown into the water and drowned, Li Man was a little afraid.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Li Man's face became a little pale for a moment, Da Yongniang asked uneasily, "Is it hot on the road?" ”
"It's hot." Li Man got up, poured himself a bowl of water and drank it.
After the mood eased down, Li Man said, "Actually, this time I went to the county seat, mainly to do business, and I didn't have time to shop, but the county town is much bigger than ours, and it is much cleaner, there are no people on the street during the day, and it is very lively at night, but I don't think there is anything good, eating is expensive, living in a hotel is also expensive, and it costs money." ”
Da Yongniang nodded when she heard this, "That's, it's a big place, it's a place where rich people live." Is it done? ”
"yes, that's right." Thinking that he had finally talked about a business, Li Man's mood gradually improved, and when he saw that Da Yongniang's face was almost rolled, he said, "I'll help you make a fire." ”
"No, you sit down quickly, I'll come." Dayong rubbed his hands, immediately went to the stove, picked up hay and started a fire.
The gnocchi is very simple to make, the main thing is to boil the boiling water, and then roll out the dough, knead it into a ball and put it in, of course, in order to taste better, you can also add some greens and the like to it.
Soon, dinner was ready, and Li Man went to the Westhouse to call the men to come over for dinner.
Da Yongniang washed her hands and was about to leave, "Man'er, you eat first, I'll go back first." ”
"Auntie, you can eat together." Li Man hurriedly retained.
Da Yongniang smiled, "I won't be able to, the family has designated to wait for me to return."
