Chapter 184: Taking Advantage of the Situation (Second Update)
Guixiang and the others believed it at this time, and they also tasted it, and then they all said yes.
Huaihua looked at Lin Chun distractedly, and he was looking at the cuckoo with a smile.
After the meal, the teenagers chatted with the girls while drinking tea, asking if they could eat something in the afternoon and what to eat in the evening, and they were reluctant to go to work.
The cuckoo beckoned Guixiang and the others to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and urged: "Why don't you go to work soon after eating?" If you're lazy, you won't have anything to eat at night. ”
When the Qiusheng brothers saw her defending the Lin family like this, of course they were happy, and they hurriedly shouted everyone to leave.
Before leaving, Xia Sheng handed the sweat towel to Huang Que'er and asked her to help wash it.
Huang Que'er agreed, and took another clean piece for him, and by the way, he also changed the autumn, spring, and winter ones.
Seeing this, Huang Xiaobao hurriedly asked his cousin for one.
Xiao Liang and others didn't follow, saying that everyone worked the same, how could they not be entertained?
Huang Que'er blushed and said that the handkerchiefs were finished, and these were the only ones.
Jiu'er kicked Xiao Liang and said, "Let's go!" I haven't seen you use a handkerchief before, and you don't work the same way. Aren't your sleeves just for wiping sweat? ”
The crowd laughed and shouted.
After a while, Lin Chun ran over with a large piece of gray cotton cloth and said to the cuckoo: "While they are here, cut this out and make more hand towels for everyone to wipe their sweat." ”
The cuckoo took it and praised him for being thoughtful.
So, in the afternoon, the little girls had another job of sewing hand towels.
Because I finished work late, I would light torches to work after dark, so dinner was also postponed. This is preceded by a snack such as buns, tortillas or vermicelli. Today it's tortillas and fried vermicelli.
When both are ready. The cuckoo was about to call someone to call the daughter-in-law over there to come over, but Huaihua hurriedly said, "Didn't Dongsheng just come over?" I put these in a basket. Just ask him to pick it up. Everyone was busy with dinner, and they bothered to shout. ”
Cuckoo thought about it too. Hurriedly shouted that Dongsheng picked it up.
There are dishes and chopsticks in the yard over there, so you don't need to take them from here.
Dongsheng picked it up.
After he left for a while, Huaihua suddenly remembered those newly sewn hand towels, and said that he had forgotten to ask Dongsheng to bring them over, so he stood up and said that he would send them over.
Huang Que'er said: "Your leg is not good, ask Erya to send it." ”
Huaihua smiled: "Er Ya is chopping vegetables." You're all busy, and I can't do heavy work, so it's still okay to walk over and deliver something. It's not ten miles or eight miles away. It's right next door. ”
Huang Que didn't speak, because it was almost dinner, and everyone was busy.
Guixiang looked at Huaihua in surprise, and always felt that her behavior was a little strange, and it was not easy to ask, and she didn't know what to ask.
Huaihua held a large bundle of handkerchiefs and walked next door with small steps.
As soon as I entered the courtyard of the Lin family, I saw a group of women gathered at the door of the east chamber to talk.
It turns out that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law love to join in the fun more than little girls. But Dafan built a house. Before the day when the new house was completed and the banquet was held, there was no need for many daughters-in-law to help cook the meal, so they couldn't all come. Besides, they are busy at home. It is common to finish the chores in the morning and come in the afternoon, or to finish work early from the field. Go around to Lin's house and gossip for a while.
The acacia lady came back from the field.
She heard the big fierce daughter-in-law praise the little girls next door, saying that these juniors are amazing. All the tea and rice are good, and everything is covered. These mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have nothing to do, so they have time to sit here and gossip.
She was very proud because of her daughter Huaihua, who was the most famous and capable, elegant in appearance, and as good-looking as a cuckoo - this is what she thought - so she was very proud, and laughed with fun.
Seeing the teenagers sitting in one place eating snacks and drinking tea, Du Linchun took a pen and paper to look around, muttered a few words to the person who built the wall, and told the carpenter what to pay attention to, like a big steward, she rolled her eyes, and there was a word.
Because he said to the eldest daughter-in-law: "Your Chun'er is really good, and your heart is good." This time, my acacia flower leg fell, and he went and carried it back. I always say that one day I came to thank you, but you were busy, so you never came. No, as soon as I heard that the house was built, I asked the acacia flowers to come, so that I could help with it and help wash the vegetables. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law was shocked, and hurriedly laughed: "Why didn't I listen to him?" If you want me to say, it's not a big deal. It's all from the same village, and it should be helpful when you meet it. Chun'er always goes to pick up the cuckoo, they are like brothers and sisters. ”
She is also bad at learning from men, and she likes to put the cuckoo and her son together when she talks. I was afraid of ruining the reputation of the cuckoo, so I always said that the cuckoo was my daughter, and she was like a brother and sister with her son. At this time, I was afraid of what tricks the acacia flower girl had, so I quickly pulled the cuckoo out.
The daughters-in-law's eyes widened suddenly, and it was the first time they had heard this.
Feng's face was a little unpleasant.
It turned out that Lin Chun only carried the acacia flower down the mountain that day, and all the girls present at that time were innocent little girls, and no one thought much about it, so it didn't spread.
But after all, there are many people who know the Tao, and someone said it inadvertently, and Huaihua Niang was in high spirits when she heard it. No, today she came to the door on purpose to show her mouth to the Lin family, and by the way, she publicized this matter.
She thought that even if Huaihua couldn't marry Jiu'er, it would be good to marry Lin Chun.
Speaking of this, she was depressed, because Lin Chun still couldn't get along with the cuckoo.
Everyone said that the Lin family's big house also took a fancy to the cuckoo, and she felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly: it was obvious that the cuckoo occupied the latrine and didn't, and no one was allowed to say it.
What a hell of a life!
How can such a girl who does not keep her duty still be praised?
Her locust flower is much stronger than the rhododendron, she must make this thing yellow!
Hearing what the eldest daughter-in-law said, she smiled and said, "Yes, it should be, and it is also a great kindness." It's a shame that your Chun'er is tall and tall, otherwise ordinary people really can't carry it. My acacia is also tall, not much shorter than Chun'er, but she has a thin body ......"
She just said that those teenagers had different faces when they heard this, and Lin Chun's face darkened.
At this moment, Huaihua came in, wearing a light pink dress, curling Nana, pure and beautiful, attracting the teenagers to look at her together.
When Huaihua heard her mother say this, her face turned red with shame.
She immediately said loudly: "Mother, what did you say? It was the cuckoo who carried me down the mountain that day. Later, Chunsheng and they came and made a deputy stretcher to carry me back. ”
While glaring at her mother angrily.
Lin Chun did carry her for a while, and she also wanted to marry him, but she didn't want to use this matter to achieve her goal. Otherwise, even if she was forced to do something, she would definitely be looked down upon by Lin Chun, which was not what she wanted.
Du Juan said that she must do her best in everything, and women must be self-reliant, so she will definitely find a happy marriage for herself, and she believes in her own ability.
She didn't tell her mother, because she was afraid that she would take the opportunity to make trouble.
denied this in front of people, and even deliberately covered it up, saying that the cuckoo carried her down the mountain, and immediately won Jiu'er's favor and felt that she had a noble character. Even Lin Chun was slightly touched and looked at her deeply.
Seeing that her daughter was angry, Huaihua Niang didn't dare to say any more, so she hurriedly said, "Is it the cuckoo's back?" That's because my mother misheard. ”
She's also a good person, and she's going downhill.
Of course, it is impossible to mishear, because Lin Chun did carry the acacia flower. She shouted it out just now, and now that the girl comes to clear it up, people will only praise the girl for being good, and she is happy to do it.
Sure enough, the big fierce daughter-in-law looked at Huaihua and nodded slightly, and the big daughter-in-law also appreciated it.
Huaihua approached the teenagers, put on a smiling face and said, "The handkerchiefs are all sewn, one for each person, come and get them." ”
And they were all stirred up.
Huaihua distributed them one by one, and deliberately whispered to Lin Chun: "I'm sorry, Chunsheng." Don't worry, I'll go home at night and tell my mother, I won't be in the future. ”
While shoving a handkerchief into his hand.
Lin Chun took it and said with a smile: "It's okay." They're all like this, they've said it, they've heard it, and they've forgotten it. I won't care. ”
Huaihua felt a little bitter in her heart.
Sure enough, he didn't care at all, so even if her mother used this excuse to propose marriage, he might not be willing, right? It's really possible. Fortunately, she didn't have the intention of not having it, so she avoided self-inflicted humiliation.
At the same time, his eyes fell on the novice towel around Lin Chun's neck, and he couldn't help but smile, and sweet hope rose in his heart.
The hand towels are all the same, even the size is cut the same.
However, Lin Chun's one was sewn by Huaihua himself. In the inconspicuous corner of the hand towel, embroidered a small, very simple acacia flower, and on the other edge, there is a small "Huai" word.
Huaihua smiled faintly, feeling that her mind was very elegant and clever, different from her mother's vulgarity and shallowness.
She is very confident that in time, she will definitely occupy Lin Chun's heart little by little through her own efforts, and finally squeeze the cuckoo out of the canopy and replace it with her acacia flower.
After thinking about it, she smiled and asked everyone: "How about this fried vermicelli?" ”
Everyone said it was delicious, and Huang Xiaobao said exaggeratedly: "It's just less, only half a bowl per person." Eating is the same as not eating. Hungry stomachs. ”
Huaihua pursed her lips and smiled delicately, and said, "This vermicelli is fried with azaleas, of course it is delicious." looked at Huang Xiaobao, and said, "I'm already cooking dinner, what is Brother Xiaobao anxious about." ”
Huang Xiaobao was dazzled by her smile and touched his head embarrassedly.
Huaihua looked at Lin Chun, and when she saw his knowing expression, her heart moved slightly; I heard Jiu'er say again: "As soon as I ate it, I knew that the Tao was fried with cuckoos." Huaihua, who made this cake? ”
Huaihua only understood why Lin Chun had that expression.
She felt sour in her heart, stared at the corn tortilla in Lin Chun's hand, and said softly, "This cake ...... It's my kang. They said I couldn't move my legs, and I had the patience to do it slowly. How does it taste? Not as good as the cuckoo, the cake of the cuckoo kang is fragrant. ”
As she spoke, her eyes were fixed on Lin Chun.
Lin Chun had to speak.
As soon as he was eating cakes, the acacia flowers were waiting for him to evaluate; Second, if he didn't squeak, wouldn't he have acquiesced to what Huaihua said, "It's not as good as the cuckoo", and it would be too embarrassing for her; Third, she clarified what her mother said in front of someone just now, and apologized to him, but at this time, he was not embarrassed.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "It's pretty good." The outside is brown and crispy, and the oil inside just oozes out, fragrant and loose. (To be continued......)
