Chapter XI

The gourd clumsily pulls the sweet potato, and the long silk solidifies in the air. The adults didn't care about him, he just tiptoed to reach it, and he ate all over his mouth and face, and even his clothes were stained with a lot of sugar.

No one blamed the gourd, but thought the gourd was cute, and no one would scold him on such a lively day. Orange and pear blossom looked at the food and almost left, the two families said that there was still something serious to discuss, looking at the style, the family must have been decided.

Zhou stopped Orange and Pear Blossom from leaving, and insisted on cutting the meat for the two of them to kill the pig Li before leaving. The two of them didn't want any, and they fled home. Zhou couldn't catch up with the two, and he was worried about the things at home, so he sighed and went home.

"Orange, why are you sweating so much?" Chen is cutting cucumbers and beans to pickle pickles, and when he waits for winter, he has to eat pickles, "Mother, let me pickle them, I will also use them when I go to the dock to set up a stall." ”

"Okay, you pickle, you pickle." Chen happily made room for the orange, "I heard your aunt say that Xing'er has set a date, and Landlord Li saw Xing'er's face and couldn't wait to carry her in." ”

"Pear Blossom told me, didn't you say that Landlord Li's mother-in-law is very powerful? She just let Apricot go straight to the door? Orange neatly cut the cucumber into dices, cut the beans into small pieces, and went to the backyard to pick cabbage and eggplant, "Mother, our peanuts are not many miles, you go to Aunt Sun's house to borrow some." ”

"Pickles and peanuts?" Chen said so, but he still went to Zhao's house. If there were walnuts and almonds, she would have put them in the air, but unfortunately there were no walnut trees here, otherwise she would have made a lot of delicious miles.

It took a long time for Chen to come back, and the orange had already pickled the ginger and garlic, and the sweet garlic was more difficult to pickle than the ginger, so he had to change the water every three days to get rid of the garlic smell. "Girl, I heard from your aunt that Songbai and she met Apricot when they went to the village to grind beans just now." Chen put down the peanuts and sat next to her to peel them.

"What's all the fuss about? Won't Xing'er come out to relax? Orange didn't know why the expression on Chen's face was, why he looked very depressed.

Xing'er stopped Songbai and said that she wanted to marry Songbaili, although she said it behind her back, but who knew that it was heard by Mrs. Dong, and there were still many people in the mill at that time......" Orange finally understood Chen's expression was pity and regret, and she was shocked that the peanut skin in her hand had been crushed by her, "What did Brother Songbai say?" ”

"Songbai didn't agree, but let Mrs. Dong's big mouth publicize, the village must know it, and it will be difficult to do it then! Your grandaunt is worried at home. ”

Orange comforted, "What can it be?" Why are you worried? Mother, Xing'er are all people who want to be concubines, didn't they say that the dowry was given? Can you still regret it? ”

Chen thought about it, it was really like this, Landlord Li didn't like Xing'er very much, so he wouldn't regret it, at most, he would be told for a few days. After figuring it out, the two continued to make pickles, she wanted to make a sauce eight-treasure dish, which needed cucumbers, lotus root slices, beans, red beans, peanuts, shiitake mushrooms, cabbage sum, ginger, after pickling, the color was bright red, exuding the fragrance of sauce, spices, sweet fragrance, spicy fragrance, the entrance was crisp, and the thick mellow spread in the mouth, delicious and delicious.

In addition to pickles, she also wants to put some tofu skin, shredded potatoes and other vegetables into the fruit cake, which can be changed to choose, so that it will not taste the same every day. Add some marinated meat, like pig ears and hearts, and the burrito also has a meaty taste.

Before I had time to do it, there were a lot of people gathered at the door of Zhao's house at noon that day, it was Xing'er's father and her brothers, and they were still holding sticks in their hands. Orange took a look in the yard and went back to the house to find her mother, "Mother, what can I do?" Dad and Uncle Zhao have gone to the field, I'll call my dad first......"

"Well, go quickly, be careful." Orange quietly went out from the door, Chen looked at it a few more times, and finally came out of the house with no peace of mind, "What's wrong?" Apricot Niang, what are you arguing about here? ”

Xing'er Niang was on full alert, and when she heard Chen's words, she flew over with a mouthful of saliva, "What's the matter with you?" If you hide in the house and don't come out all day, your son-in-law can fly, and if you can't get married, you will blame your mother for not being capable! ”

The last thing that can be said in Chen's life is her own daughter, and being divorced by the Zhang family is a scar in her heart. Hearing this, he also rolled up his sleeves and joined the battle with Sun, Sun's also hurt the child, listening to Xing'er Niang cursing pear blossoms and oranges for a while, her angry head was abrupt.

"Dad, Uncle Zhao, Xing'er Niang and her father are looking for trouble, they still have sticks in their hands, go back quickly." Orange panted and ran to the field, the two lands were also close to each other, she shouted Zhao He heard it, and walked home quickly with a hoe.

Chi Dazhu was calmer at this time, "Orange, what are you telling your father about?" "But the footsteps don't stop, and the orange has to trot to catch up with her father's pace." I don't know, I heard my mother say a few days ago that Xing'er said in public that she was going to marry Brother Songbai, and Xing'er's father and mother came over to make trouble today. ”

Hearing the scolding of Sun and Xing'er Niang from a distance, mixed with Chen's voice, the three of them pinched their waists and scolded. Xing'er Niang obviously couldn't withstand the two of them, so she simply sat on the ground and sprinkled, slapping her thighs while singing: "Blind God, why don't you chop them to death, one by one, my daughters marry well, and my daughters can't marry the landlord Li, God...... Open your eyes and see, their daughters can't get married......"

Xing'er's father saw that his mother-in-law was wronged, and he was about to step forward to beat him with a stick, but Songbai stepped forward to stop Xing'er's father, "I respect you uncle, you don't know what to do." ”

These words also angered Father Xing'er, and he was about to hit Songbai with a stick, and Songbai looked at Father Xing'er with straight eyes. Zhao He ran into the yard with a hoe, "Liu Fugui, who are you bullying?" Is Lao Tzu dead? Saying that, he gave Liu Fugui a punch, "Wait for me to come back and say, why are there so many of you?" ”

Liu Fugui received a punch from Zhao He, Xing'er Niang didn't do it, and she didn't sit on the ground crying and grabbing the ground, so she raised her hand and greeted Zhao He's face. Sun and Chen didn't eat dry rice either, and the three women fought again. Originally, Xing'er's brother stood behind and didn't move, and when he saw that his father was beaten, the stick in his hand was raised by two points.

Orange looked around, his eyes were on the pine and cypress, and the two of them were stunned. Songbai took the lead in opening his eyes, frowning and continuing to look at the situation in front of him. Xing'er Niang was at a disadvantage, and shouted to her two daughters-in-law angrily, "You two are blind? Isn't it happy to see the old lady being bullied? ”

The two daughters-in-law who were named looked at each other and had to join the war. Seeing that it was another scuffle, at this time, Qingzhuan and Qingwa ran over with guys, "What's the matter?" Can't you say anything well? Sister-in-law, you also rest, what's going on? "Qingbrick don't look young, but the generation is the generation of Zhao He, who is Hechi Dazhu, and he is also a leader in Beihe Village, everyone has stopped meddling in this way, not to mention that Qingwa's hunting skills are good.

Qing Brick asked Xing'er Niang first, "Sister-in-law, what do you say is the matter?" It's on someone's door. Xing'er Niang originally wanted to continue to sit on the ground and sing, but she didn't dare to be stared at by the green bricks, so she had to say honestly:

"My apricot went to the mill to grind beans a few days ago, and ran into a pine and cypress, who knows ......" I said twice, Chen seized the opportunity and said: "Xing'er met a pine and cypress, said that she liked pine and cypress, and asked Song Bai to marry her, saying that she didn't want to be a concubine for Landlord Li." ”

Xing'er Niang glared at Chen's family, but there was no way to deny the fact, "I don't know who reached the ears of Landlord Li, people don't want my Xing'er, if it weren't for Songbai Xing'er, it would be returned!" As he spoke, he began to cry with a whimper.

"That's your apricot who doesn't know the inspection, and Songbai's disagreement is Songbai's fault? There are many girls in our village who like pines and cypresses, who are as ashamed as your apricots. Besides, I think you're distressed that the dowry isn't there! "Chen's family doesn't let go of Xing'er Niang, who let Xing'er Niang just say that her oranges are not good. However, what she said was a bit excessive, and Orange pulled her sleeve, so that Chen did not speak.

"Now that the words are clear, Brother Liu will go back, you can't trouble Songbai just because Xing'er was dismissed." Qing Brick persuaded Liu Fugui at this time, "Brother Zhao, Brother Chi, don't take it to heart, Brother Liu is also in a hurry." ”

"No, I don't care, Songbai has to marry my apricot, and then get a dowry of ten taels of silver." Xing'er Niang bit the pine and cypress tightly. Ten taels of silver is enough to buy a house in the town, and no one in Beihe Village has so many dowry miles to marry a girl.

Sun took a step forward and pointed to Xing'er Niang's nose, "I've always seen that your daughter is not wanted, ninja you, if you are willing to sell your daughter, you will sell it to what you want to sell, who of us farmers is not a down-to-earth life, is your daughter made of gold or silver?" Ten taels of silver, even if you give it to me for nothing, I don't want such a daughter-in-law, you can dream of you! ”

Seeing that the war was about to be triggered again, Xing'er walked out of the crowd at this time, Sun and Chen both sneered, they didn't mean to target Xing'er, they became like this when they said it, they were afraid that Xing'er would feel uncomfortable when she heard it. Xing'er stared at Songbai for a while, "Songbai, I'm not going to be a concubine for Landlord Li, are you willing to marry me?" ”

"Xing'er, I said I wouldn't marry you that day, and it's still the same today." The pine and cypress ignored the apricot tears, and it was moving. After pursing his lips and looking at everyone, he said: "If you are willing to continue to make trouble, my Zhao family will accompany you to the end, but the result will not change." Orange secretly sighed in her heart, she was really unkind, and Xing'er was really blind to fall in love with him!

Xing'er Niang just wanted to refute, but Xing'er pulled her mother's sleeve and said, "Mother, let's go home." If you don't want your daughter to die here, go home. Tears poured down the ground.

Xing'er Niang saw that her daughter didn't seem to be joking, patted the soil on her body and snorted on the ground, Liu Fugui and Xing'er brothers took the stick in their hands and walked towards the village.

The green bricks and green tiles also said goodbye in time, "I was working in the field just now, and I heard the orange shouting, so I came over to take a look, it's okay." We're gone. ”

"Well, thank you, I'll greet you another day." Zhao He waved his hand, and the two families cleaned up the battlefield, and they were tired enough. "Why do you want to do such a thing?"

"I don't blame us, I think Xing'er just doesn't want to marry Landlord Li to make this fuss." Pear Blossom poured a glass of water for everyone, "Her mother is just taking the opportunity to make trouble, I'm afraid that no one wants Xing'er." ”

"The more noisy this is, the more no one wants it, and Xing'er is also a poor baby." Chen calmed down at this time, "Why do I think this matter is so coincidental, how can Landlord Li know that Xing'er wants to marry Song Baili?" ”

"It must be Mrs. Dong who said it, otherwise who is idle and has nothing to do to say this."

Landlord Li's daughter-in-law was lying on the beauty couch, listening to the maid's soft report, and the phoenix eyes that opened were proud, "Reward that mother-in-law with a tael of silver." "If you want to rob her master, you have to see if you have the ability.
