053 The Empress of the Kingdom (5)
Seeing Shen Mengdie's confused appearance, Mo Qian stepped forward and explained softly: "That one was my neighbor just now, and he lived next to him. ”
"Oh."
"If you're bored, you can go out for a walk."
"No, I'll just stay here." Shen Mengdie declined the other party's kindness, in this strange place, she didn't want to be watched like a monkey by others.
"Alright, I'm going to get busy." After Mo Tianxin said this, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
At this time, only Xuanyuan Lin who was chopping wood and Shen Mengdie who was wandering were left in the courtyard, she reached out and picked a flower on the fence wall, held it in her hand and pondered it carefully, quietly watching the people in the village gradually increase.
"You know me."
The sudden sound behind her startled her, and the small flower she was holding in her hand fell to the ground. Shen Mengdie slowly turned to look at Xuanyuan Lin, who was looking at her with her gaze, and took a step back to widen the distance between the two. "I'm sorry, I don't know you."
"You're lying." Xuanyuan Lin walked towards her step by step, with anger in his eyes.
"You're sick, do you think everyone has to know you?" Shen Mengdie raised her head and glared at the other party after pushing the other party.
"You ......"
"Hmph......" Shen Mengdie didn't wait for the other party to say anything more, snorted lightly and turned her head away with some disgust.
"Damn." Xuanyuan Lin was about to reach out to catch her when a sudden shout made the two turn their heads.
"Sister Mengdie, what are you ......" After Mo Tianxin came out of the kitchen, what he saw was some intimate movements of the two of them. I couldn't help but feel a little lost in my heart, and the bright smile on my face disappeared without a trace, and a bitter smile appeared on my mouth.
Shen Mengdie turned her head to look at Mo Tianxin, and found that the other party's face was not very good at the first time, and she chuckled in her heart, knowing that the other party should have misunderstood, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull her. "Just now, Xuanlin was asking me where my hometown is, saying that I look a little familiar."
"Is that so?" After glancing at Shen Mengdie suspiciously, Mo Qian put his eyes on Xuanyuan Lin who was not far away.
"Of course, what do you think we should talk about?"
"I ...... Not...... It's nothing. Mo said hesitantly, and at the same time looked at Xuanyuan Lin a little shyly.
Looking at the other party's actions, Shen Mengdie had a rough score in his heart. "It seems that even if I'm not here, everything will still go according to the plan."
"Okay, didn't you say you were going to make glutinous rice dumplings? I'm here to help you. Shen Mengdie grabbed the other party's wrist and slowly walked towards the kitchen.
Looking at the raw materials that the other party had prepared, Shen Mengdie asked the other party, "What should we do now?" ”
Hearing her question, Mo Qian looked back at her and began to demonstrate in a little panic. "Then just follow my example."
"Okay."
The two were doing things quietly, and when they were almost busy with the work in their hands, Shen Mengdie suddenly opened her mouth and whispered in each other's ears: "Do you like Xuanlin?" ”
"Bang ......"
Mo Tianxin's hand that was holding the steamer suddenly shook, and the freshly cleaned steamer fell to the place and rolled around a few times.
Shen Mengdie hurriedly bent down to pick up this steamer made of bamboo, she had never touched it before, she looked at it with some curiosity, and then put her eyes on Mo Tianxin's flushed cheeks, and said jokingly: "You don't have to react so violently." ”
"Sister Dream Butterfly ......"
"Okay, I'll stop talking." Shen Mengdie made a gesture to cover her mouth to the other party and smiled softly.
It wasn't until a long time that the blush on Mo Qianxin's face gradually subsided, and after putting the wrapped glutinous rice cake into the steamer and adding a few pieces of wood to the stove, the two sat aside and whispered quietly.
"Xin'er, what do you think of Xuanlin?"
"He ......"
Looking at Mo Qianxin, who was deep in thought, Shen Mengdie didn't plan to say anything more, everything still had to be figured out by the other party.
While the two were talking, the glutinous rice cake in the steamer had begun to exude bursts of aroma, and it seemed that it was almost ready. After waiting for a while, watching Mo pour in and open the lid, a burst of aroma came to his face. After the other party took out a plate and put in some steamed glutinous rice cakes, he put it aside with a basket covered with a handkerchief.
"Are you going out with me?" After washing his hands, Mo Qianxin looked at Shen Mengdie, who was waiting on the side.
"Get out?"
"yes." The other party nodded and carried the bamboo basket.
"Okay, let's go." In short, it's boring to stay here alone, and it's good to have someone to go out with you, just to get a feel for the customs here.
The two of them walked to the kitchen one after the other, looking at the people who were chopping firewood in the courtyard, Mo Qian said with concern: "Brother Xuanlin, these firewood are not in a hurry, you can rest for a while." ”
"It's okay, you guys go and leave me alone."
"Then you pay more attention to your body, let's go out first." After listening to the other party's words, Mo Qian slowly walked out with Shen Mengdie after a few simple explanations.
Looking at the scattered houses around her, Shen Mengdie secretly paid attention to the villagers while looking at the surrounding buildings. After seeing Mo Tingxin greeting acquaintances all the way, she walked silently beside the other party, although she did not take the initiative to talk to the villagers, but she could obviously hear the whispers of the people behind her.
"Where did this girl come from, not like a relative of her family."
"I don't think so."
"But this girl is so pretty."
Regarding the heated discussion of the people behind her, Shen Mengdie only paused for a moment before continuing to catch up with the people in front.
When he walked under a big tree used for cooling, Mo Qian stopped. "Auntie, this is the glutinous rice cake I made today, you can take some back and taste it!"
"That's a good idea." The middle-aged woman who met today stopped what she was busy with and continued happily: "Ming'er is in the market, I'll let your uncle wait for you together." ”
"Then I'll bother you."
"Look at what you said, everyone is on the way." After making a joke, the woman looked at the basket in Mo Qianxin's hand and said, "This is going to the village chief's house, right?" ”
"Yes, now I'll send this to my uncle's family, and I'll see you tomorrow." Mo nodded to the woman, smiled and turned to leave.
After glancing at the woman, Shen Mengdie slowly kept up with the pace of the person in front of her.
When the two came to a blue brick house, Mo leaned in and shouted softly, "Is Auntie at home?" I'm the heart. ”
"The heart is coming, come in." A woman's voice was heard from within, followed by the sound of slow steps. With the courtyard door, it creaked open, and Shen Mengdie saw a middle-aged woman with a smile on her face and gentle eyes.
"Auntie, this is the glutinous rice cake I made today, and I specially sent it here for you to taste?" Mo Qian Xin said as he handed the basket in his hand to the other party.
The woman opened the door and said to her gently, "Come in and sit down for a while." ”
