"What?" Li Man was startled, and as soon as he asked, Li Mo had already turned around quickly and quickly sat on the stool under the stove.

Running so fast? What is it? She was puzzled, and curiously picked it up and saw that a bracelet woven with red rope was quite chic.

However, this is for her? Li Man's heart beat faster, and her face was slightly hot, in such an era, even if it is a simple bracelet, she understands the meaning it represents.

This man is calm and silent, and it obviously took a lot of courage to give her such a thing.

Li Man hesitated, pinched the bracelet in the palm of his hand a few times, and hesitated how to return him.

Under the stove, Li Mo's heart was beating like a drum, he took a handful of dry straw and put it into the pot hole, then picked up the fire fold and lit the fire, hit it a few times, but he couldn't hit it, his hands that were used to doing these jobs couldn't help but tremble, and the fire was inflexible.

Simply, he stopped fighting, held the fire fold tightly in his palm, and listened to the man's movements.

She didn't speak, but said she was willing to take it.

But just when Li Mo's hope was greater, Li Man's hesitant voice broke the silence in the kitchen, she walked to the stove and handed him the bracelet, "This bracelet is very beautiful, are you going to give it away?" ”

Li Mo raised his head, his expression frozen.

Li Man hurriedly stuffed his hand into his hand, "You put it away." ”

Before the words fell, she hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave, but Li Mo was in a hurry, and grabbed her small hand with the bracelet with her big palm, "Wait." ”

"You?" Li Man froze, his little face wrinkled.

Li Mo panicked and let go of her hand again, "Did it hurt you?" ”

"Nope." Li Man shook his head, but there were bursts of numbness on the back of his hand, saying that his hand strength was really big, just a little grabbing it just now, it was like iron tongs.

She returned the chain, and wanted to continue kneading the dough to make gnocchi soup, but she didn't expect Li Mo to follow.

"You?"

The two looked at each other and spoke in unison.

How awkward the atmosphere is, how awkward it is.

"You speak first." Li Man shrugged his shoulders slightly, pretending to be very relaxed, but his eyes unconsciously looked at the door, come on.

Li Mo didn't speak, but directly scooped up her hand and stuffed the bracelet into her palm again.

"What are you?" What does he want to do? Li Man only felt that the bracelet was like a thorn, and he panicked and wanted to return it to his hand.

Seeing that she refused, Li Mo simply grabbed her little hand and put the bracelet directly on her wrist, "This is for you, I asked for it in front of the goddess, and you can't take it off if you put it on." ”

"Huh?" Li Man was stunned, and wanted to wipe the bracelet off, but the rope didn't know how it was knotted, just now I saw that Li Mo was very loose when she put it on herself, but once she put it on, she couldn't untie it, it was completely like tailor-made for her wrist.

Li Mo saw her like this, not annoyed, but smiled slightly, "It's late, let's cook, the second brother, they shouted hungry just now." After speaking, he glanced at her with a smile, turned around and sat down under the stove again, this time, although his heart was still pounding, but the action of lighting the fire was obviously much calmer, and after a while, the hay was leading, and he stuffed it into the pot hole, and then handed a few pieces of firewood into it, and in an instant, the fire was strong.

The stout man reflected in the red stove fire, and his eyes were warm and soft.

The cauldron was quickly burned red, and the water droplets in the pot were also squeaked, and Li Man hurriedly shouted, "Hey, wait, I haven't reconciled yet." ”

"Hurry up, then." Li Mo replied at the bottom, but did not remove the firewood burning in the pot hole.

Li Man was afraid that the cauldron would burn out, so he hurriedly scooped two scoops of water into it, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the bracelet that was put on.

Hearing the various sounds of boiling water and noodles on the pot, Li Mo's heart gradually settled, not to mention, the goddess said that once this marriage rope is put on the woman's wrist, it means that the woman belongs to him, and the two of them are destined.

And she didn't ask for it anymore, did she?

Thinking of the hairpin in her hair, and then to the marriage rope just now, Li Mo had to admit that what the second brother once said was right, women, sometimes they just eat hard and not soft.

After a long time of panicking, a large pot of gnocchi was finally cooked, she poured some sesame oil, sprinkled some green onions, and then covered the pot with a lid and stuffed it for a while, then picked up the bowl and served it.

Li Mo extinguished the sparks in the pot hole, afraid that the noodles would be boiled, and after making it done, he got up, scooped a scoop of water and washed his hands, and then stood by the pot.

Li Man glanced at him, didn't speak, served noodles seriously, and after serving a bowl, he took the initiative to take it and put it aside, and then put another bowl, he just took two bowls together, and then took two pairs of chopsticks, "I'll send it over first." ”

"Hmm." Li Man's head was not raised, and he agreed naturally, and served four bowls on the other side.

Li Mo soon came over again, and when he saw Li Man holding two bowls in his hand, he was about to take them, "Give them to me." ”

"There are two more bowls on the pot." Li Man said to Nunu on the side of the pot.

"Oh." Li Mo smiled and served the two bowls, followed behind Li Man, and entered the east house together.

An oil lamp was also lit on the windowsill of the east house, and Li Hua was holding a big needle to pick the wick, and sure enough, the light was much better in an instant.

Under the light and shadow, the whole room instantly seemed to be much more crowded and narrow.

Just now, Li Mo's two bowls, one bowl was given to Li Yan, and the other bowl was given to Li Shu, who was yelling that he was hungry.

Li Man came over and gave two bowls of gnocchi to Xiao Wu and Li Hua.

Li Hua looked at Li Mo who was following behind, and took it.

"Give." Li Mo saw that Li Man's hand was empty, so he handed a slightly thicker bowl to her, "Be careful of scalding." ”

"Hmm." Li Man held it with both hands, because it was full, the soup almost shook out, she hurriedly lowered her head and took a shallow sip of the soup, but she knew that the soup that had just come out of the pot burned her tongue, she instinctively stuck out her tongue and added it to her lips twice.

This scene happened to be seen by Li Yan and Li Mo.

Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he thought, and his eyes darkened.

Li Mo asked worriedly, "Slow down, it's hot, right?" ”

Li Man pursed her lips and gently blew a few mouthfuls into the bowl, and laughed dryly, "It's a little hot." ”

"Daughter-in-law, sit here." Li Shu took the initiative to give up his position at this time and asked her to put the bowl on the kang and come up.

Li Man saw that his brothers were all sitting on the kang, and it was not good for her to squeeze over, so she shook her head, "You sit down quickly, I'll sit on the stool." So she looked around and found a small stool in the corner, and she sat down.

"Daughter-in-law, how dark it is over there." Li Shu walked towards her with the bowl.

Li Man secretly rolled her eyes, just because it was dim here, she hid quietly, Li Yan looked at her eyes just now, she was not a fool and didn't feel it, so she stripped naked with her

Ah——,h Is it that Li Yan is feverish and confused or that there is something wrong with her eyes, the guy who looked at her before had a weird look, but she is not as presumptuous and evil as she is now.

"Daughter-in-law, what do you want?" Li Shu came over and squatted next to her, seeing that she was in a daze, and she didn't know what to say about the soup in the bowl that was about to be crooked, so she hurriedly held her bowl.

Li Man was really excited, raised his head and met Li Shu's puzzled eyes, and hurriedly got up and said, "It's a little light, I'll add some salt." ”

After that, he put aside Li Shu, went out, went straight to the kitchen, sat down on the stool under the stove, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's still quiet and comfortable in this kitchen.

Li Shu still wanted to follow, but was stopped by Li Yan, "Third brother, eat your noodles." ”

"What's wrong?" Li Shu leaned against the door and looked back at the second brother.

Li Yan leaned on the kang, lowered his head and drank the noodle soup, but did not answer his words.

Li Mo glanced at the second brother, then at the third brother, and then said, "Third brother, sit down and eat." ”

Li Shu suddenly smiled, "Big brother and second brother, are you two afraid that I will be alone with my daughter-in-law?" ”

Li Yan drank the soup and picked the gnocchi in the bowl with chopsticks, "I'm doing this for your good, if you don't believe you can go along, your daughter-in-law will definitely blast you over." ”

"Why?" Li Shu was a little unconvinced.

Li Yan raised his right eyebrows slightly, did not answer the reason, ate a mouthful of gnocchi, and suddenly said, "There is a bit of salt in it." ”

"Huh?" Li Shu was stunned.

Li Mo took two bites suspiciously, "It's okay." ”

Xiao Wu followed up and said, "It's delicious." ”

Li Hua heard the meaning of the second brother's words, when she escaped from Lu just now, she said that she wanted to add some salt, which was obviously a pretext, it was the five of them here who made her feel oppressed, right?

The second brother didn't let the third brother go, so he naturally wanted her to relax, at least when she was eating, there was nothing good to eat and drink at home for her, but they all hoped that she could eat enough and eat better.

——

After a while, several people finished eating, and Li Mo, as the boss, took the initiative to accept everyone's bowls, and then went to the kitchen to serve them for everyone.

Li Man ate slowly, and when he came again, he only ate a small half bowl, "I'll serve it." When he saw him coming with some empty bowls, he got up.

Li Mo hurriedly said, "You sit down, I'll do it myself." ”

"Oh." Li Man shrank back and sat silently at the bottom of the pot eating gnocchi.

Li Mo was satisfied, and he was brought to the east house twice, and when he came back once in the middle, Li Man lowered his head and did not greet him again.

So, Li Mo took the initiative to tell her, "There is still a bowl in the pot, you will serve it later, eat it while it is hot, it will be cold in a while." ”

"Oh." Li Man was stunned, "Okay." ”

Li Mo served three bowls and went to the East House cautiously.

But Li Man found that after eating a bowl of gnocchi, her stomach was almost the same, and she was not used to eating too much at night, so there was still a big bowl in the pot, so she used a large vegetable basin to put it in a large vegetable basin, sent it to the east house, and put it on the small table, "There is still a bowl, you can divide it, the rest will be a paste tomorrow, and I am afraid that I can't eat it." ”

Xiao Wu rubbed his stomach, he couldn't eat two bowls anymore.

Li Hua's rice volume is not too large, and he doesn't want to eat two bowls of gnocchi with soup and drink it.

Li Yan was sick and had no appetite, so he only ate one bowl, and the remaining bowl was given to Li Shu.

Li Shu originally had a good amount of food, but after three bowls of belly, and then looked at the big pot on the small table, he flinched a little, "I'm full." ”

"Full, huh?" Seeing that a large pot of gnocchi was about to turn into a paste, and he didn't know if he could eat it at the next meal, Li Man was very distressed.

Li Mo glanced at it and asked, "You just ate a bowl?" ”

"Well, I ate too much at noon and wasn't hungry at night." Li Man said that he had to take the vegetable pot away.

Li Mo stopped, "I'm afraid it's not enough, if you are all full, I will eat all of these." ”

"Huh?" The brothers looked at him at the same time.

Li Shu shouted, "Big brother, didn't you just say that you were full?" You don't want the second brother to give it to you, and I'm going to die. ”

Li Mo didn't reply, just sat on the edge of the kang, picked up the vegetable pot, and ate it, the food was so fragrant, it really looked like he hadn't eaten enough.

The corners of Li Yan's eyes twitched, "Big brother, is it so delicious?" Don't spoil your stomach. ”

Li Mo didn't speak, he lowered his head and ate with relish, he really didn't eat too much, because just now he saw that there was not much left in the pot, he wanted to leave it to her, the third brother usually has a large amount of food, and the second brother's share will naturally be left to the third brother, but he didn't expect his daughter-in-law's meal to be so small, and a small bowl of gnocchi soup was full.

Moreover, if such a big bowl of gnocchi is broken, the daughter-in-law will be distressed.

Seeing him eating happily, the corners of Li Man's mouth raised slightly, she likes to cook, and she also likes others to eat her food, the more happy she eats, the more she feels accomplished.

Li Shu saw Li Man watching his eldest brother eat noodles, and even a smile appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be a little jealous, "Big brother, why don't you leave some for me, I seem to be a little hungry again." ”

"Third brother, you are a little promising." Li Yan glanced at Li Shu angrily.

Li Shu rubbed his stomach, his face was not red and his heart was not beating when he said nonsense, "It's true, it seems that he is still a little full." ”

"Okay, third brother, I'll wait until tomorrow morning if I'm hungry." Li Mo stripped off the last piece of gnocchi in the bowl in a few bites.

Li Man clapped his hands, "Okay," while getting up to put away the bowl.

"I'll come." Li Mowan was already in his hand, and he got up and went to the kitchen before her.

Li Man hurriedly followed, and when he arrived in the kitchen, Li Mo was already scooping water into the pot, "I'll wash it." ”

Xiao Wu washed the pots and dishes with Li Hua, she looked at it and felt like a big man like him, she felt a little strange by the pot.

"It'll be fine in a minute." Li Mo scooped up the water, put all the dishes and chopsticks in it, and then took the rags and washed them one by one.

It's really Li Man who shook his head lightly while watching from the side, his palm is very big, so big a bowl in his hand is like a child's toy, and he can do other work, isn't this washing dishes too clumsy? The dishcloth rubbed the bottom of the bowl a few times and then the bowl surface, why did he not seem to be able to get around? After several clicks, the bowl slipped in his palm and almost fell off, and Li Man, who was shocked, jumped with his heart, there are not many bowls at home.

Just as he was looking, Li Man's eyes widened suddenly, and he saw a bowl slip in Li Mo's hand and fell into the pot with a snap, and the washing pot water splashed on his face.

"Huh-" It's really gone, Li Man laughed unconsciously.

Li Mo wiped his face embarrassedly, looked at her, and explained, "This bowl is slippery." ”

"Really, I'll do it." Li Man took the initiative to push him away, took the dishcloth in his hand, and began to wash the dishes.

Li Mo's face was red, "Actually, I have also washed it." ”

"Hmm." It's okay to do rough work, but he can't do delicate work like washing dishes and pots.

Li Mo stood by for a while, watching Li Man wash the bowls, clean them one by one with water, and then put them neatly in the cupboard, and then pour the water in the pot clean, wipe all the lids and pots clean, and place the oil and salt jars neatly

He was embarrassed, and according to his thoughts, he thought that the pots and pans would be fine if they were brushed.

Li Manzhi said that he was watching from the side, and when the matter was done, she rubbed the dishcloth twice, wrung it clean and spread it out on the pot table, so that there would be no smell when she got up the next morning.

"I'm all right." She said to him.

"Oh." Li Mo was a little stunned when she looked at her neat work, and when she spoke, she came back to her senses a little, but she couldn't erase the appearance of her when she was working in her mind, so calm, leisurely, and even very elegant, even the people watching on the side were so pleasing to the eye.

"Do you want to boil some more hot water, you guys wash?" Li Man saw that he was still a little stunned, so he asked.

"Oh, okay, I'll burn it." Li Mo said.

"Hmm." Boiling water after meals has never been done by her, "Then I'll leave it to you." ”

As she spoke, she was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Li Mo followed closely and asked.

Li Man turned his head to look at him, "Go back to the room." ”

"It's very damp in your room." Li Mo said, "I can't sleep at night. ”

Li Man then remembered, and bit her lip with some annoyance, then she was at night

"You wait." Li Mo said and walked to the corner of the house, and moved the jars and sundries on the bamboo couch in the corner of the house, "I'll move the bamboo couch over in a while and make a new bunk for you." ”

"Okay." That's all there is to it, but, "Don't bother, I'll just move the futon here." ”

"Nope." Li Mo decisively refused, "This window paper is broken, and it is not tight, in case - in short, it is not safe." ”

After saying that, he found a rag and wiped the ashes on the bamboo couch.

"I'll come, you boil water." Li Man said.

"Okay." Li Mo didn't insist and gave her the rag.

A large pot of boiling water was quickly boiled, and except for a little left for the evening drink, the rest was freshened with water.

Li Mo really moved the bamboo couch to the east room, and then spread the clean bedding painted by Li again.

"What? My daughter-in-law sleeps here at night? Li Shu didn't know what mood he was in, so he sat down on the bamboo couch.

"It's not laid yet." Li Man pushed him away, and with his hands smoothed out the wrinkled place where he was sitting.

"Third brother, you are still sleeping on the kang." Li Mo commanded.

"Zhilu Dao." This time, Li Shu did not protest.

After Li Man's bed was made, he saw that several of them were sitting on the kang, and they had no intention of sleeping, so they couldn't help frowning.

Li Mo glanced at it, got on the kang first, and then instructed Li Shu, who was still strolling around Li Man's bedside, "Third brother, blow the lamp and go to the kang." ”

"I'm not sleepy." Li Shu said.

"Your second brother is sick, don't talk nonsense, be quiet." Li Mo said majestically, and blew the lamp neatly.

The room suddenly went dark, and Li Shu shouted, "Big brother, don't wait for me." While groping his way to the kang.

Li Man sat on the bamboo couch, and it took a while to get used to this darkness, slowly got into bed, got into the quilt, and began to take off his coat.

However, this bamboo couch has been around for a long time, and the main body is estimated to be dying, and when she moves slightly, the bamboo couch squeaks, and the movement is particularly reverie in this quiet night.

Helplessly, she only took off one sleeve, and she didn't dare to move anymore, not even to turn over.

But I was still listening to the movement over there, but after a while, the movement was gone, and Li Shu asked with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, are you asleep?" ”

There were many words, and in the dark, Li Man glanced at her fiercely, and instinctively turned over, but she didn't want to squeak again, and she wanted to pound the ground in a depressed state.

Over there, Li Shu also smiled with added vinegar, "Daughter-in-law, are you taking off your clothes?" ”

Li Man really wanted to tear his mouth apart, but the truth was so annoying, she was indeed undressing just now, and she only took off one sleeve, sleeping on this old bamboo couch, which was even more uncomfortable.

"Third brother, don't talk, sleep." Li Mo warned in a deep voice.

"Oh." Li Shu was honestly obedient, closed his eyes, and went to sleep obediently.

Over there, soon, there was a slight snoring, and I don't know whose it was.

Time passed little by little, in the dark, Li Man stared at the window but did not feel sleepy at all, she was used to sleeping at ease, such a small bamboo couch was not enough for her to mess around, not to mention, she couldn't move, how uncomfortable it was to stiffen her body.

When she felt that the men on the kang over there should be asleep, she carefully changed her position, felt a little comfortable, and then wanted to fall asleep, and her lower abdomen rose slightly, which suddenly made her feel like she wanted to jump and scold her mother.

Who can understand what it feels like to hold your urine when everything is ready, in the comfort of the bed, and just as you want to have a good night's sleep?
