Chapter 341: Heavy Rain

Lian Man'er had to stop, and the person who stopped her was Xibao.

Xi Bao is wearing a dark red trouser gown with a yarn today, and her dark and thick hair is very neatly combed. He stood in front of Lian Man'er, holding a horsewhip in his hand, and a pair of big dark eyes under his thick eyebrows seemed to look at Lian Man'er without blinking.

Just look at his dress, dress, and the name Xibao, you can know how he is treasured at home.

"You called me?" Lian Man'er asked. The young man's gaze is undisguised, and there is a bit of unscrupulous taste when he looks at people.

"Uh-huh." Xibao replied.

"What's the matter?" Lian Man'er asked again. As soon as she asked, she regretted it a little.

“…… It's nothing. Xibao held the whip in one hand and scratched the back of his head with the other.

"Then I'm going home, you should hurry home too, it's going to rain. Chapter 341 Heavy Rain" Lian Man'er said, wanting to bypass Xibao.

Xibao opened his arms and stopped Lian Man'er again.

Lian Man'er squinted.

"That, Man'er, will you go to the temple fair in Fulong Mountain tomorrow?" Xibao asked Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er couldn't help but tilt her head, she and Xibao didn't know each other at all, as if they hadn't spoken before. Whether she goes to the temple fair in Fulong Mountain or not, what is the matter with Xibao.

Fulong Mountain is a big mountain near Zhang's mother's backing mountain, there is a temple on that mountain, the incense is very strong, and a temple fair is held every June. It is said that on this day, if you go to the temple to burn incense and make a wish, it will be a special benefit. At the same time, this temple fair is also a big market day, and many people go to places within a radius of 100 miles or even beyond.

Zhang once said that she used to go to the temple fair when she was a girl, but after marrying into the Lian family, she never went again. Even the people in the family have no habit of visiting the temple fair. Zhou himself doesn't like to go out, and his daughter-in-law and the girls in the family rarely go out.

Even Man'er has never been to the temple fair, she wants to play, but these days, there are many things at home. She couldn't leave. Moreover, if you want to go to Fulong Mountain, you must have a horse-drawn carriage to travel. Although her family has a small ox cart, the small ox cart goes slowly.

"My family has a carriage to go. Are you going? Chapter 341 You're going to the rainstorm, I'll let the carriage pick you up tomorrow, let's go together. Seeing that Lian Man'er didn't speak, Xibao said again.

It seems like a good choice to take someone else's carriage for a day. But this individual family is a Xibao family, so it's different. That day, Lao Jin and his sons came to help her family farm, and the purpose was obvious. Later, Lian Zhier and Wu Jiaxing became married. Wu Yugui is a character who can hold up the scene, and the old Jin family didn't do anything, and even the Man'er family put their minds at ease.

But after all, there has been such a thing, and when it comes to something related to the old Jin family, even the Man'er family has to be careful.

"Let's go, the temple fair is fun, there are a lot of people, everything." Xibao looked at Lian Man'er and added.

"There's something going on at home. I can't go. Lian Man'er replied.

"What's the matter, you can't leave for a day?"

"I'm not going to the temple fair." Lian Man'er was very resolute.

Xibao looked at Lian Man'er with his big dark eyes, a look of disappointment on his face.

Look at Xi Bao. Lian Man'er suddenly thought that in her impression, Lao Jin's appearance was vicious. In fact, objectively speaking, if there was no beard, and because of the usury incident, Lian Man'er had a subjective dislike for him, Lao Jin's facial features were very upright. Xibao inherited Lao Jin's thick eyebrows and big eyes, but unlike Lao Jin, who has a black and red face. The bottom of Xibao's skin is white, and because of the sun, it shows a healthy luster unique to a country boy.

It is said that Xibao's mother is also bigfoot. She is taller than Lao Jin, but she is not stout, she is a very beautiful and spicy woman.

Lian Man'er raised his head and looked at the sky, the sky was almost completely gray, and a lightning bolt swept through the sky like a spiritual snake. The air was thick with moisture.

"If you don't go home, you're going to get drenched in the rain. Xibao, you should hurry home. Lian Man'er said to Xi Bao.

This time, Xibao didn't stop Lian Man'er again, because there were already raindrops falling.

"I'll take you home, ride a horse, and I'll be there in a moment." Xibao ran to the side in a few steps and pulled out a snowflake from behind the bushes. This horse looks young, but it is already very powerful.

Xibao led the horse to Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er blinked, there was not much way from the old mansion, and if she rode this horse, what would others think. I'm afraid that within a moment's time, some people will say how Lian Man'er and Xibao are doing. She is only eleven years old, and if the other party is someone else, no one will take it seriously, but Xibao is different.

And one more thing, she doesn't know how to ride a horse!

"I'll carry you up." Seeing that Lian Man'er was a head shorter than Xuehua'er, Xibao came over and opened his hand to carry Lian Man'er on the horse.

What a reckless teenager.

"Ah, I'm home, stay away from me." Lian Man'er glared at Xibao fiercely, left him behind, and ran towards the old mansion.

Running to the gate, Lian Man'er glanced back, Xibao didn't follow, maybe it was her sentence "stay away from me", or maybe she just glanced at Xibao and fixed Xibao there, and he didn't even notice the rain falling on him.

Lian Man'er only glanced at it, then pushed open the door, walked into the courtyard, and closed the gate casually. After taking two steps into the courtyard, she turned around quickly, and looked out through the crack in the door, and saw Xibao climb on horseback, carried by snowflakes and gradually walk away.

Lian Man'er breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the West Wing.

As the saying goes, in June, children face. In the morning, the sun was still shining, and just after noon, it began to rain, and it was getting heavier and heavier, and it really seemed to be splashing, and there was no sign of stopping.

Lian Shouxin and Zhang's came back first, and then Gorou and Xiaoqi also came back from private school.

The yard soon became flooded, and the rain was blown by the wind on the windowsill. The windows of Lian's house are white paper, and they can't withstand the rain.

Even the old man came out of the upper room and led someone to lower the rainproof curtain that was rolled up at the top of the window.

Zhang, Lian Shouxin, Wulang and Xiaoqi also lowered the rain curtain on the window of the West Wing, covering the window tightly.

This kind of rainproof curtain is made by the villagers, that is, the leaves on the sorghum stalks are removed, and then the sorghum stalks are tightly connected together with strong thick threads, just like a string of curtain drawers. Some farmers use straw curtains, but that kind of curtains are more labor-intensive, and most households still use rain curtains from sorghum stalks.

Rain curtains obscure the windows, so that the rain can no longer fall on the window paper, and at the same time obscure most of the light.

All of a sudden, it was darker in the room.

The family didn't have much to do, so they didn't use the lights, and just sat around the kang and chattered.

"Father, mother, look, I said that we have to use glass windows in the new house. To use the glass window, usually transparent, when it rains, do not use the curtain, the glass is not afraid of rain, but also save us to cover the window like this. Lian Man'er said.

To build a new house, Lian Man'er proposed to use glass windows, even Shouxin was a little hesitant, the cost of using glass windows is high, and the price is more than several times more expensive than ordinary wooden lattice windows. Lianjia's current house only has the landlord's house, and two small glass windows are installed against the windows of the kang. That's where even the old man usually sits and lies.

"The glass window is good, the price is too expensive." Even Shouxin said, he was still a little worried about money.

"Dad, you have to pay for pasting window paper every year. With glass windows, doesn't it save the money of pasting window paper? Lian Man'er smiled.

"How much is the window paper, how much is a glass window?" Zhang smiled, "Your father can get you in, he has done all the business in vain in the past few months." ”

"Dad, the glass window is expensive, but it's beautiful, the house is still bright, and I'm not afraid of the wind. Let's build a house, we can't be on time, as long as the money is spent in the right place, it should be spent. Lian Man'er said.

"Dad, then let's use the glass window." Gorou said.

"That's right, then let's use the glass window." Even keep your word.

"If you want to buy colored glass, you have to go to the county seat, and I heard that you have to book in advance." Zhang's Road.

"It's easy to do." Lian Man'er winked at Lian Zhi'er, "Hurry up, let's talk to my brother Xing, what kind of management insurance you want to buy." ”

Lian Zhi'er's face was slightly reddened.

Lian Man'er looked at it and smiled secretly.

The rain continued until the night, and the next morning it was a little lighter, and Lian Man'er was eating breakfast while thinking, I don't know if they will go to the temple fair on such a day.

In mid-June, Lian Lan'er came from the county seat, saying that she had a good family affair for Lian Xiu'er, so she took Zhou and Lian Xiu'er into the city, saying that they wanted to see each other. Gu took Lian Duo'er and followed.

At this time, the farmer ushered in the most abundant season of the year.

The top flower is a prickly green cucumber, a purple tender eggplant, a sweet pepper, these are all washed and eaten raw, as well as tender beans, potatoes are also down, only a small piece of fat and lean pork with skin is needed, you can stew a large pot of potatoes and beans fragrantly, if the top is steamed on a layer of white flour to make a cake, it is even more perfect.

What made Lian Man'er happiest was that the corn planted in the vegetable garden was ripe.

The corn in the garden was sown earlier than the corn in the field, and when the corn in the field had just emerged, the corn in the garden was already as tall as the waist of the vine. Now, most of the corn in the field has just produced corn cobs, and the corn cobs in the vegetable garden are ready to eat.

Corn is fully ripe, which means that the kernels are full of pulp and hardened. Now the corn in the vegetable garden, the corn kernels have been filled with pulp, but they have not yet hardened, and this is the time to eat boiled young corn.

Lian Man'er has been paying attention to the growth of corn, and has been looking forward to this time, but she really looked at the full corn, and she hesitated again.

To eat or not to eat!
