She was walking back with her belongings in her arms, but was stopped by a man dressed as an officer and soldier, and showed a portrait.

Xia Mujin held the things in her arms, glanced at the portrait, and then shook her head very chicly, the person just stared at her for a while, as if to make sure that she was not deceiving, and seeing her calm and ignorant look, he let go of her.

Xia Mujin didn't delay, and walked towards the carriage with his things in his arms.

But the more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, wasn't that portrait painted by Zhao Qiushui?

Recently, he has been too busy, and the Wang family has not bullied the villagers anymore, so there is naturally less news about his family, and she has not paid attention to it.

Far away, Shen Muhan saw her walking slowly and absentmindedly with a lot of things, so he got out of the carriage, walked over, and took things from her.

Xia Mu Hibiscus pursed his lips, and followed him happily.

"Uncle, did you do that Zhao Qiushui?"

Ming Qi saw that Xia Muhibiscus also entered the carriage, so he drove the carriage slowly, in the carriage, Xia Muhibiscus was sore, and he was pinching his shoulders and limbs for a while, and at the same time, he turned his head and asked Shen Muhan.

Shen Muhan poured a cup of tea at this moment, and his slender and clean fingers held the teacup to her lips, staring at her with his eyes, and said without hesitation: "Yes." ”

Xia Mujin took a sip of tea quite enjoyably, feeling that the tea was sweet after bitterness, and a smile was hooked at the corner of his mouth, he learned quite quickly, isn't it the mixed tea she made, and then took two more sips, and felt that his throat was dry before he asked again:

"She's not dead!"

Shen Muhan put the teacup back on the small coffee table, and then a pair of big hands replaced Xia Mujian's small hands, and pinched her arms for her with a moderate weight, and then said charmingly:

"Wouldn't it be too cheap for her to die."

Hearing this, the corners of Xia Mujian's mouth twitched, and a pair of eyes looked at Shen Muhan with bright eyes, and the corners of his mouth also had a shallow smile:

"Sold to Qinglou!"

Although she was asking, her words were full of certainty, as if she already knew that.

Shen Muhan covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice, his eyes swept over Xia Mujian's delicate little face, with an evil smile on his face, and he said helplessly: "You guess." ”

Xia Mujian's little face was cold, and she had an urge to burst into foul language, guess your sister.

"Otherwise, kiss it."

Shen Muhan saw this little girl's gritted teeth, so he approached him, and his slender fingers tapped his thin lips with sex and sensuality, and exhaled like a landau.

The corners of Xia Mujian's mouth hooked, and he was disdainful of his helpless methods, seeing Shen Muhan's provocative eyes, a cunning light crossed the bottom of his eyes, and when he stretched out his hands to hold Shen Muhan's head, he put his lips together.

Shen Muhan closed his eyes in surprise.

"Whew"

After a while, I saw that he frowned slightly, but Xia Mujin quickly left his thin lips, licked the corners of his lips with the tip of his tongue, and looked at him proudly.

Shen Muhan's eyebrows twitched, this Nizi bit really hard

When she got home, Hibiscus began to prepare dinner, which was her first year in this world, and this Chinese New Year's Eve meal had to be hearty.

In order to be lively, he asked Songzi to call Brother Erdan, after all, he was the only one at home, so it was better to have a fun together.

originally wanted to call the village chief's family and the sixth aunt's family together, but there are many rules in the countryside, and the family must have a reunion dinner, so she dispelled this idea.

"Brother, have you cut the bamboo sticks?"

She had been tinkering in the kitchen for a long time, and suddenly walked out, looking at Xia Tieshu sitting under the eaves and sharpening bamboo sticks, she stepped forward and asked, and took away the already sharpened ones.

"Is it enough?"

Xia Tieshu has been cutting for a morning, not to mention there are hundreds of roots, and when he saw Xia Mushu coming to move this thing, he asked.

Xia Mujin brewed in his heart, and said, "Let's cut two hundred more." ”

Xia Tieshu glanced at Xia Muhibiscus with some surprise, this girl is mysterious, what do you want to do with bamboo sticks, but the work in her hands has not stopped.

Xia Mujin carried the bamboo skewers into the kitchen with a basket, and as soon as he fetched water and put it in the pot, Shen Muhan came in.

He circled around her, and then stole incense on her forehead before crouching down to the stove and adding firewood to it.

"Uncle, you're dressed quite kindly, but your cold temperament still can't hide it."

He changed into a very ordinary dark robe, as if his mother made it when he was injured and left, and he kept thinking about it at that time, he must have come back, and made him a few clothes for him to change and wash, but I didn't expect him to really spread it regardless of his identity.

Shen Muhan added another handful of firewood to the stove, glanced at Xia Mujian, and then said slowly:

"Well, this is called following the customs of the locals, marrying a wife and following the wife."

forehead

Marry a wife with a wife.

A trace of heat crossed Xia Muhibiscus's face, so he stopped grinding his mouth and put the bamboo skewers into the pot to cook.

I went to make spices again, Shen Muhan looked at her blushing face, and the corners of her mouth opened the arc of doting.

Xia Mujin cut a lot of lean meat slices and fish slices one after another, and he was still kneading flour balls there.

"Are you going to blow things up again?"

When Shen Muhan saw it, she went to wash her hands and wanted to come to help rub them, thinking that she was going to make something new.

"No, just make some fish and shrimp meatballs."

Xia Mujin didn't let him help, lowered his head and was busy with his work, and replied briefly.

Shen Muhan retreated to the stove again, his eyes watching her skillful movements, adding firewood.

After Xia Mujian finished the fish meatballs, he saw that the water in the pot was already churning and gurgling, and he said:

"Uncle, help me scoop up these bamboo sticks and soak them in clean water."

Shen Muhan listened to her take out the bamboo stick, and took a wooden basin with some water to soak.

After a while, Xia Mujian put the ingredients he had configured into the pot and fried them slightly a few times before quickly shoveling them out, and then began to run meat skewers, fish fillet skewers, etc.

Shen Muhan watched her string a few strings, then fished out the soaked bamboo skewers and put them in a clean basket and placed them in front of Xia Muhibiscus, then poured the water from the wooden basin, and found a clean cloth to wipe off the water stains and put it at Xia Mujian's feet.

"Uncle, you"

Seeing this, Xia Mujian couldn't believe it, and stared straight at him with big eyes.

"Didn't you say that you should marry a wife and follow your wife?"

Shen Muhan got up funny, took the bamboo skewer on the side, and skewered it like her.

At this moment, Xia Mujin found that she was speechless, if a husband is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

"Hey, the beans of the old Yu family have not been sold this year, I heard that they can't even afford a piece of meat for the New Year, and there is no backbone in the family, and the two old people are pitiful."

The two were skewering together, Daddy Xia and Xia Forest walked in, carried a basket, picked up a few things on the kitchen shelf, and said with a sigh.

Hearing this, Xia Mujian's hand moved, and he asked his father:

"Dad, is it a soybean? How many? ”

"Yes, there are fifty or sixty catties, in previous years, there would be people at the end of the year to collect, but this year no one came, the old couple took an ox cart and took this bean to the town to sell, but the market is scattered, this bean is not sold, the ox cart money can't pay, the two old people are crying at the door."

Xia Linlin sighed and came one by one.

This old fish family Xia Muhibiscus knows some, there were originally sons and daughters, but one son is crazy, the other is paralyzed, the two daughters-in-law saw that this life could not go on and committed suicide, the daughter married far away, can not come back once a year, the two old men are over seventy years old, and they have to raise two sons, which is the most bitter family in Damiao Village.

"Uncle, let Mingyi and them help, skewer this, I'll go out first."

Hearing this, Xia Mujian's eyes lit up, and he whispered to Shen Muhan, and then walked up to his father, grabbed his hand, and said with a smile:

"Dad, are you going to Lao Yu's house? I'll go with you. ”

As he spoke, he took another two catties or so of a piece of meat, and put a fish of about three catties into the basket in Xia Linlin's hand, and before Xia Linlin could react, he was dragged out by Xia Mujian.

Shen Muhan called Ming Yi and the others in, and briefly explained the process of this string, and then the teacher was trained and went out of the kitchen.

When Xia Mujin came back, Xia Linlin was jumping dozens of catties of beans on his shoulder, and when Xia Mujin came back, Xia Mujin vacated a large water tank and soaked the beans.

Hehe, it seems that all of her little jars can be put to use.

"Jin'er, what are you going to do?"

After Xia Mujin finished soaking the beans, he went to rummage through the miscellaneous items, and Xia Forest followed and asked suspiciously.

"Dad, I'm looking for a plaster."

Hearing this, Xia Forest entangled and said:

"Are you going to make tofu?"

Making tofu gypsum is indispensable, and everyone in the countryside understands this.

"Yes, Dad, do you remember where the plaster was? I remember putting it in this room back then. ”

"I know, I know"

*

Before the sky got dark, the Xia family held up the lantern, and the firelight jumped in the red lantern, hazy, so unreal, Songzi stood at the door and watched for a long time, but he didn't understand what was painted on the lantern.

Natsuki Hibiscus asked Akiichi and them to help set up the oven, and she washed the iron plate on which the cartoon cake was baked and drove it on the oven, washed two small iron bars, and placed them ten centimeters under the iron plate, and then put the skewered food on the iron bar to bake.

The iron plate was brushed with a layer of oil, and a small table was placed next to it, and on the table were many wooden boxes, which contained different materials, such as five-spice powder, Sichuan pepper powder, pepper powder, cumin, etc.

It took her half a day to make these things.

Everyone was curious and stunned to watch Xia Mu Hibiscus skillfully turn the skewers on the iron bar, and in less than a moment, the skewers made a sizzling sound, and the air was full of the aroma of barbecue meat and fish, Xia Mu Hibiscus saw that part of it was almost roasted, Bin put it away and placed it on the iron plate above, and took a new skewer and put it on the iron bar.

Then add ingredients to the roasted top, in fact, these are the first to marinate the good taste, and at the moment only need to be slightly processed.

There was a large plate on the table next to it, and Natsuki Hibiscus put all the skewers she could eat on the plate and beckoned everyone to try them.

Plus Mingyi, there are more than 20 people, and Xia Mujin has prepared enough skewers.

After everyone tried it, they all showed incredible expressions, and they were extremely praised.

Seeing this, Xia Mujin smiled, and made room for them to bake by themselves, this thing is very simple, as long as you look at it, you can do it, after all, she has prepared this material.

Immediately, she went to boil a big pot of porridge, which contained wolfberry and medicinal pork ribs and other things, and finally started cooking.

Knowing that this barbecue was sufficient, she didn't cook much rice, and the dishes were fried on ten plates at random, but she had carefully designed them, and each one was like an exquisite work of art.

This is perhaps the most chic and delicious Chinese New Year's Eve meal they ate, and everyone consciously washes the dishes when they are full of food and drink.

The night is silent.

The Chinese New Year's Eve in the countryside is not as lively as in the town, there will be lanterns to watch, there will be various acrobatics to watch, and the villages close to the town will generally go to join in the fun, but there are no such people in their village, because it is too far from the town, but it is not as early as usual, at this moment, looking from the window, you can see that every house is lit up.

As the saying goes, the light of the first day of the thirtieth fire, that is to say, on the night of the thirtieth day, the fire in the stove cannot be extinguished, even if there is only a little spark, and the light of the first day of the new year is to be on all the time, anyway, there are many words, which she also learned from the mouth of the family, because at the moment the family is burning charcoal in the stove, and there is a piece of wood on it, hanging a lot of fish and meat, and eating it.

Ming Yi and they took Matsuko and his brother and sister-in-law to the town to play, after all, they had not experienced the Chinese New Year's Eve in the town, and Xia Mu's tired fingers did not dare to move, but at the moment they were sitting on their beds and closing their eyes.

The door creaked open, and you didn't have to look to know who it was, besides, the light in Xia Mujin's room was not extinguished.

Shen Muhan walked in, saw Xia Mujian's eyes open a gap, took off his shoes and socks and robe and entered the quilt, his long arms wrapped around her, and let her find a comfortable position in her arms to lean on, bowed his head, lightly imprinted on her forehead, and then said distressedly:

"Look at you, you wear yourself out like this every day."

Xia Mu Hibiscus was attached to his thick chest, the corners of his mouth hooked a touch of arc, and he said in a daze:

"The plan of the year lies in the spring, I have to finish all these things, and get satisfactory results, and I can make money only when the spring begins."

It was midsummer when she came, and many things could not be planted, many things could not be stepped on, and she missed too much.

"Didn't you say come with me to Beijing? Why do you still think so much. ”

Shen Muhan was a little unhappy with her words, so he pinched the tip of her nose and said.

"It's not that I won't come, besides, I have to take care of the family, so that my brother can make their business bigger, my ideal is to start the whole world with my own things."

"You girl has a big heart and is very greedy."

Hearing this, Shen Muhan couldn't cry or laugh.

"Don't you want to rely on me? How? Regretted it. ”

Natsuki opened her eyes and stared at him amusedly.

"Regrets? Oh, I want to be one with you every day now, and when will you give me this right. ”

Shen Muhan also smiled slyly, his big hand was restless on his chest, touched it a few times, pondered for a while, and then said:

"I haven't touched it for a while, but it's grown a lot."

Xia Mujin slapped his hand away, glared at him, said something inserious, turned his back and went to sleep.

Shen Muhan also hugged her from behind and was silent with each other.

The next day, Natsuki was woken up by the sound of crackling firecrackers.

turned over and found that Shen Muhan was no longer there, but there was still residual warmth next to him, as well as the unique fragrance on his body, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he got up and dressed.

When I went downstairs, I saw my aunt Xia Juhua cooking noodles in the kitchen, so she walked out the door.

Seeing Shen Muhan sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun that had just come out, the golden python was also coiled beside him.

These days have been busy, ignoring her python brother, Xia Mu Hibiscus is jumping towards them, and then very modern said:

"Uncle, Brother Python, Happy New Year!"

Shen Muhan twitched his eyebrows, he was used to her occasional strange behavior, and the golden python also waved his tail and raised his head.

He thought that his goddess had ignored it, and caused it to be depressed for several days.

Xia Mujin knew that it had been wronged these days, so he opened his arms and wanted to hug it, but unexpectedly, he was pulled closer to her arms by Shen Muhan halfway, and leaned close to her ear and said:

"Its daughter-in-law will be jealous when she sees it." -
