"Glad to be!"

This Ye Feng nodded too quickly, which made Xia Muhibi a little surprised, glanced at his valuable clothes, and then thought of his own small hut, his eyes were a little complicated, and after nodding, he entered the house, and then began to wash his hands and cook.

Songzi saw that Ye Feng's eyes were always spinning on his sister, biting his lip and looking unhappy, frowning tightly, but he kept praying in his heart: Brother Shen, come back quickly, come back quickly

Because of the visitor, Xia Mujian made six bowls, boiled pheasant and mushroom soup, stir-fried meat, cold ground vegetables, boiled amaranth, hot and sour chicken offal, and stir-fried green beans.

Five bowls, a basin, a whole table is placed, the stir-fry method of the dish is novel, the meat and vegetables are suitable, the color is oily, you can smell the fragrance from afar, and before you start eating, you have already eaten a dry person.

At the dinner table, Ming Peng was very vigilant against Ye Feng, as long as there was a topic about Xia Mujian, he would immediately interject, making others inexplicable, but Songzi smiled secretly, he was still worried, but now it seems that this worry is superfluous.

Because, someone is more eager than him to get rid of any man around his sister who shows favor to her.

The master secretly explained that Brother Shen was going to be his future brother-in-law, so he had to take good care of his brother-in-law during the time they left, and he couldn't let people with ulterior motives contact his sister, because those people had bad intentions!

A meal, some people don't know the taste, some people secretly hide their thoughts, Xia Forest and his wife looked at each other, and even more worriedly looked at Xia Muhibiscus with a calm face several times, the rumors in this village are boiling, two and one again, this one has not left, and today is a new one, his two old hearts can't stand the fright!

Besides, just looking at the clothes of this person, and the carriage parked outside, it is worth a lot, when did Mu Hibiscus know such a big man, and this one by one is not shy about coming here, like his own home, looking at his infinite enjoyment, it seems that he is still very familiar with Mu Hibiscus, and it seems that he has eaten her food more than once.

Xia Mujin only needed a glance to know what his father and mother were thinking, countless black lines slipped from his head, biting his chopsticks, staring at Ye Feng, who was eating happily, but he didn't know where his fire came from.

After the meal, Ye Feng got straight to the point: "Hibiscus girl, I came this time to do business with you." ”

At the same time, he is also quite interested in her craft, over the years, he has traveled north and south, and has not seen all kinds of exotic customs, but it is the first time he has seen such a summer hibiscus.

Xia Mujin cleaned up the table and made him tea, which was also expected of his words, smiled, and said, "How does Boss Ye want to cooperate?" ”

Doing business pays attention to a sincere word, she doesn't like people who are too scheming, even if the other party gives more, and loses that kind of artistic conception, she would rather not do it.

Ye Feng didn't answer her question directly, but looked at some flowers and plants still on the kang next to the stove, and said, "You picked these yourself?" ”

These are all things she has seen in the mountains in the past few days, there are prunella grass, white flower snake tongue grass, and purple flower lily, but these are not used as tea, but for medicinal purposes, and this is only a preliminary test.

Seeing Ye Feng mention it, he also said truthfully: "Yes, I saw it when I inspected the firewood, and I picked it back, they are all ordinary herbs, but they are also needed by the pharmacy." ”

In the last sentence, she made it very clear that the pharmacy needed it, so she might also negotiate business with the pharmacy.

After hearing this, Ye Feng couldn't help laughing, what a special child.

Immediately, the two chatted for a while, and Ye Feng took away the gynostemma, orange blossoms, and wolfberries prepared by Xia Mu Hibiscus.

Of course, Xia Mujin had a verbal discussion with him at the tea ceremony, and Ye Feng was an eye-opener today.

As soon as Ye Feng's carriage left, the Wu family and the others couldn't hold it back, and when they saw Xia Mujin coming out with a basin of dirty clothes, Lao Yuan said sarcastically:

"I said hibiscus girl, if you want to make a fuss, don't always bring some improper people back, don't think that you have a carriage, a skin, and a decent dress can seal everyone's mouths, if you want to sell it, you can go to the Red Mansion, sell it in the Red Pavilion, in your own home, isn't this ruining the family style? Your father is a cultural person, but he has a head and a face in this Damiao Village, and he is not angry when he comes back to know about it. ”

The corners of Xia Mujian's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Wu, and then said in a deep voice:

"If you are red-eyed, you can drag a few girls from your house who have not yet come out of the pavilion to sell in the Red Mansion, I can't make a fool of people like you, and I can't be angry, I can also go, I just don't know, if you are naked, will there be a beggar to patronize?"

It was the first time that Wu had been insulted like this, and suddenly, his face was red and his neck was thick, and his hand pointing at Xia Mujian trembled, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Aunt Xia was taking the cloth out, so he scolded sharply:

"I said the forest her daughter-in-law, how did your family teach children, only this point is so big that there are no elders, this grows up, besides, this person, is to understand proportion, the most important thing is to understand self-respect, you look at your family, three days and two waves of unidentified men, it is better to open a restaurant, what does it mean to hide and pinch, this dare to do, don't let people say it, I feel shameless for your family, this is the blood of the old immortal, isn't this a slap in the face of the old immortal? What kind of face do you let me have in the future to see the ancestors of her family who are old and immortal? ”

Aunt Xia was stunned by what Wu said, opened her lips, and didn't know what to say for a long time, Wu saw that she had the upper hand, so she became even more proud, and then, her eyebrows and eyes changed, and she looked pitiful and injured, and she beat her chest and said:

"There are still three innocent girls in my family who have not come out of the cabinet, you said that this hibiscus girl in your family is so shameless and ruined her reputation, isn't it just for a few money? The head and end of the village are crazy, speaking of which, or I, the elder, did not take a good look at this child, and the old immortal is not at home, during this time you will hand over this girl to me, I will discipline her well, and when the wind subsides, I will ask someone to find her family to marry earlier, this village is not able to marry, who will want a broken shoe that someone else has slept on, you say right, it doesn't matter how the other party's family is, how old is it, as long as the other party is willing to accept it. ”

You Shi had long wanted to interject, but because her mother-in-law was talking about it, it was not easy to interrupt her, besides, seeing the appearance of hibiscus gritting her teeth, she was very happy in her heart, and when she saw that her mother-in-law finished speaking, she immediately answered:

"What my mother said is very much, although we are poor, but people are not poor, and they will not win people's love, this girl of your family is already so cheap that people and gods are angry, sell their soft body and face to buy land in the village, they are not afraid of dirty land? I just died poor, and I didn't let a few of my daughters do this shameful thing, and ah, your house is so small, and those men are strong and healthy, don't you feel ashamed to hear those shameful voices at night? ”

They have been holding back for a long time, and in view of the fact that the Wang family has repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of this cheap girl, they have no chance to say that they will not let go of this opportunity when this opportunity comes today.

Besides, watching his family get better and better day by day, eating, using, and wearing, it is also a few grades higher than before, they are uncomfortable when they see it, their own family has been eating steamed buns for the past few days, there is no meat with this rice, and there is no oil in frying a few side dishes, and they don't know how to eat it.

A few children complained with bitter faces several times, but Qinglian didn't care whether they lived or died at all, and even avoided him as a grandmother, but she was angry with her.

Yesterday he poured out his anger on his sons, and told them to go out and find work, and not to enter this house without returning twenty copper plates a day.

"Is enough of what a few people say? If it weren't for the good concentration of this girl, you would have cut off your mouth and thrown it into the river to rinse, oh, yes, the family is supported by my grandfather alone, my grandfather is old, and he doesn't have the ability to raise a group of white-eyed wolves, seeing that my family's life is getting better and better, I am not convinced, my eyes are red, girl, I just want you to be red-eyed, what can you do if you are red-eyed, who let you not have the blessing to give birth to a few mud and can't support the wall of the wreck, what's the use of having more, It's not as good as a teenage girl, and I'm ashamed of you. ”

Xia Mu Jincai ignored the anxious eyes of her mother, and blurted out a counterattack, saying that Wu covered her chest and gasped, but she still felt that it was not enough, and continued:

"No matter how cheap my Xia Muhibiscus is, there are no some people who are cheap, climbed into my father's bed, and dragged my children and grandchildren to my Xia family, all of them have complete hands and feet but they have to rely on such an old man to live, look at your family, a few are normal, the female is bare-chested and bare-backed, the male is crooked and cracked, and the old one is coquettish all day long, I sue you, you have the ability to make a few of your family strip naked to seduce others, see if people will also reward you with a mouthful of food, and give you silver taels to buy land."

"Oh mother, mother Xia Mujian, you shameless practitioner, you will be punished by God, no matter how you say that she is also your grandmother, the wife of your grandfather Ming Media is marrying in."

This Wu was said by Xia Mu Hibiscus like this, he didn't catch his breath, covered his chest, rolled his eyes, and fainted, and Yu Shi shouted in a hurry, this call led out several daughters in the family, and several people carried Wu into the house with all hands and feet, but You pointed to the sky, and pointed at Xia Mu Hibiscus and cursed sharply.

The corners of Xia Muji's mouth twitched, and he threw three words lukewarmly to You's: "I'll wait!" ”

After saying that, he went to the river with the basin without looking back.

Looking at her distant back, Ming Peng's cold hair stood up, this woman's quarrel was too terrible, even more terrifying than him cutting off the enemy's head on the battlefield, the master of this master is not a vegetarian, it can be said that the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, a few mouths can't withstand her few words, she really has the ability to die of anger.

The next day, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, Xia Mujin entered his thirteenth birthday.

Early, the family got up, this is Xia Mujian's first birthday, in previous years, the family could not get together on this day, Xia Daddy had many days in the school, and his wife died early, and the burden of the family fell on Xia Forest, Xia Orange Blossom was a full twelve years younger than Xia Forest, and Xia Daddy and his wife also gave birth to a few children, but they didn't bring work, and as a result, Xia Forest and Xia Juhua were left two brothers and sisters, which are considered thin heirs in the township.

Xia Mujin was busy until late yesterday, but she got up a little late, and when she got up, her mother was already making breakfast.

When Aunt Xia saw her come out, she put down the work in her hand, took a cloth bag to the side, and pushed her into her room: "Jin'er, hurry up and change it and come out again." ”

Hibiscus Natsuki was a little baffled. When she opened the cloth bag and saw what was inside, her little face was crying and laughing, and she had a red bandeau chest

The family has rolled noodles these days, and Aunt Xia made simple noodles for breakfast, and beat a few eggs sent by Huang Po that day, and put some green onions in the pot.

"Come, Jin'er, have breakfast!"

Aunt Xia beckoned Ming Peng and them to sit down, and finally brought Xia Mujian's bowl of noodles.

Xia Mujin was a little misty by the family, and saw that his mother was holding a big bowl, the bowl was full of noodles, four eggs were lying on it, and there were some green onions floating, so he hurriedly went to pick up Aunt Xia, but was avoided by Aunt Xia.

Aunt Xia put the bowl on the table and sat down with her.

"Jin'er, in this Da Miao Village, thirteen years old is the most important birthday of the girl's family, because, after today, there will be a mother-in-law's family to come up to say goodbye, if both parties agree, then the dowry, and then get married, the girl's family, sooner or later are people from other people's families, my father and mother have no ability, I will give you this birthday from childhood to adulthood"

Aunt Xia sat down leaning on the hibiscus, her eyes were a little wet, and she couldn't say anything in the end.

Xia Mujin was a little stunned, it turned out that there were still such rules in this Da Miao Village, no wonder Sister Er Miao was so anxious, it turned out that she was afraid that people would come to say goodbye, and her father and mother agreed

Since ancient times, it has been the words of her parents, even if she is unwilling, in the end she still can't escape the arrangement of fate, which is also the sadness of ancient women.

"Mother, what are you talking about, I'm still young, I won't get married, if the other party marries in, I just want to accompany you until you are old!"

But she Xia Muhibiscus is not a person of this era, and her thoughts can't be on the same line as them at all, so she looked helplessly at the family with a sad face, and divided the eggs in the bowl.

Dad, mother, brother, and pine nuts each have one, and Mingpeng and his mother have always treated him as a guest, so he has two eggs in his bowl.

"Jin'er, this can't be helped, there is a saying about this birthday egg, you have to eat it, and you have to eat it."

Seeing this, Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia hurriedly shook their heads, trying to stop Xia Muhibiscus from putting eggs in their bowls, but in the end it was too late, so they had to speak in a hurry, but before Aunt Xia finished speaking, Xia Muhibiscus put chopsticks into her bowl, broke the eggs in the bowl, and then pinched a large piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Immediately, he quickly finished eating the noodles in his bowl, and before he swallowed the noodles in his mouth, he said inarticulately: "I have to go to wash my uncle." ”

Watching her quickly run out of the house with a basin, the family was a little dumbfounded, and Ming Peng looked at the two eggs in his bowl, and didn't know how to put down the chopsticks, and finally, he divided one into the bowl of Aunt Xia and his wife, picked up the bowl and swallowed the noodles and soup into his stomach, and said I have eaten well, and then he ran away like a ghost.

The family looked at each other in amazement again, what the hell was going on

Early in the morning, there were not many people washing clothes, because everyone went to work in the fields while it was cool.

Xia Mujin couldn't help but cry and laugh a little when she thought about her family's actions, and looked at her board-like figure, she couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.

When I got to the river, I put the basin down and began to take out the laundry and wash it.

There is a small bamboo tube under the basin, and the bamboo tube is full of soaphorns, Xia Mujin first soaked the clothes and beat them with wooden sticks for a while, until the sewage flowed out, and then rinsed them in the water, and then rubbed them with soaphorns and clothes.

This way it will be clean, and it will leave a faint fragrance on the clothes.

Suddenly, a wave of resistance came at her, and before Xia Mujian could react, her body was crooked, and she was about to fall into the river, but she was suddenly brought into a thick embrace.

The familiar mint fragrance, Xia Mu Hibiscus opened her eyes and looked up, but inadvertently touched her lowered lip flap.

Suddenly, an electric current slid through the whole body, as if it had been electrocuted.

Her little face was flushed for a while, and her eyes flickered a little, and after a long time, she asked: "Uncle, you did it on purpose!" ”

I haven't seen him for many days, he seems to be taller again, his skin is whiter, standing in front of her, like a celestial, with a teasing smile at the bottom of his clear eyes, but there is a thick tiredness between his eyebrows.

I haven't seen her for a few days, this girl seems to be beautiful again, a pair of big eyes are full of aggrieved accusations, and the tiredness of the past few days of driving was instantly covered by her accusatory eyes, he stretched out his index finger and scratched her nose dotingly, which was a little aggrieved:

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and as soon as we met, you hurriedly took away my first kiss, saying, how much you miss me."

When he said this, his face was not red or panting, but it was Xia Mujin's mistake.

Xia Mujin couldn't cry or laugh because of his words, and then he retorted: "Uncle? Do you still have your first kiss? ”

Shen Muhan's eyebrows drooped, his face sank a little, he stared at her coldly, Xia Mujian also tilted his head, looked at him, and saw him deflated, he felt very ridiculous, but there was a strange look on his chest, and he looked down, but he saw Shen Muhan's big hand covered his right chest, and before she got angry, she lowered her head and kissed it.

He kissed very carefully and softly, like a dragonfly touching water, Xia Mujin only felt a softness on his lips, and before he could recognize the taste, he had already left, leaving her stunned, and there was a wave of anger in her eyes.

"This is your token of love, but remember, Xia Mujian, you can only be my Shen Muhan's person in this life."

Some of the rules of Da Miao Village are set by the ancestors, if a girl has any physical contact with a man on her thirteenth birthday, it is considered a love, even if the two parties are not deliberate, then they must follow the rules to marry.

Shen Muhan took a lot of effort to check the customs and habits of various places, and he rushed back at this moment by galloping his horse without sleep or night.

Xia Mujin was confused by what he said, and looked at him suspiciously for a long time before asking: "What kind of love token?" ”

"Your first kiss!"

Shen Muhan disagreed, believing that Uncle Xia and Aunt Xia had already seen it, and what he wanted was this effect.

Xia Mujin was on fire, feeling that Shen Muhan was an old fox, and he had been calculating her, and suddenly, with his hands on his waist, he pointed at Shen Muhan and said, "You calculate me!" ”

Looking at her momentum, Shen Muhan swallowed his saliva and said jokingly: "Look at you, you are so fierce before you marry me, I won't step on the soles of your feet in the future, besides, you look at me, I look good, I have a good temper, I can do housework, and I can take care of children, where do you find such a husband, right!" ”

If you are in Kyoto, a woman who is 15 years old will not only have a coming-of-age ceremony, but also have to listen to a lot of group training, but Damiao Village is different, as long as you are over 12 years old, as long as you like each other, you can express your heart in a variety of different ways.

He is following the local customs

Xia Mu Hibiscus smoked from his nose, glanced at Shen Muhan, and then bent down to continue washing clothes.

Shen Muhan looked at this girl and her clothes and couldn't get along, the corners of her mouth hooked up a beautiful arc, so she took the washed clothes in her hand and wrung them out, and then put them in a clean wooden basin.

"Eh, I heard that papaya can be that" After a few years, Shen Muhan remembered the feeling just now, and he was staring at a place where Xia Hibiscus had not yet developed, and said with some meaning.

Xia Mu Hibiscus blushed, how could she not know what this guy was talking about, glared at him, and said angrily: "Uncle's breasts are not big, it is better to eat some breast augmentation first, otherwise, it doesn't feel that good to the touch." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and went about his own work.

Shen Muhan choked, looked down at his chest, and for a long time, a pair of clear eyes were dyed gloomy.

"Jin'er, what a coincidence, you also came to do the laundry so early?" -
