6. Visits
There was a knock on the door.
Yang Liu reluctantly dropped his chopsticks and stood up, complaining, "Who closed the courtyard door again." "On duty is like Xiao Er, she has to be the first to come forward at any time, she obviously didn't sit at the door, and she had to take a detour.
Yu Shi tore a piece of cake in his hand and glanced at Xiao He with slanted eyes, who smiled embarrassedly, "I'm used to it." ”
Since Li Wei's death, Xiao He, as a widow, rarely goes out, and even at home, he closes the courtyard door at any time to prevent others from exploring the courtyard curiously. And her temperament is introverted, she is not good at socializing with others, she speaks straight and does not bend, although she is well-intentioned, but it is easy to offend others. For a long time, Xiao He is more and more reluctant to go out, rather than offending others unconsciously, it is better to stay at home and embroider to make money.
"I said sister-in-law, you are too careful, our family is here, who are you afraid of sneaking in and taking things away?" Yu threw the unfinished cake into her own rice bowl, poked it down with chopsticks, and said to Xiao He like a wise man.
He slapped the chopsticks on the bowl, "Shut up and eat your food, and if you can't stop your mouth, I'll get out and feed the pigs." ”
Yu's shoulders shook, picked up the bowl and sucked a big mouthful of porridge into his mouth, and muttered in a low voice: "How can you eat when you shut up?"
He glared at Yu, who was busy pretending to be serious about eating.

"Uncle Zhang, why are you here?" Yang Liu opened the courtyard door in surprise and asked, "Have you eaten so early?" ”
"Nope." Zhang Wenshan was also not polite to Yang Liu, "I have no leisure these days, and I didn't come to visit my in-laws." I'll take a look at it while I have time today. ”
"Come on in, then." Yang Liu turned sideways.
In addition to the He family who was present knew Zhang Wenshan's identity. The rest of the Li family is still unclear. The two sides met the gift, and Zhang Wenshan gave another gift. Because I inquired in advance, the gifts I gave out also took care of the situation in each room.
said that he was visiting He's, but everyone knew that Zhang Wenshan came to see how Yang Liu was doing with a slogan, and he also made room for the two of them. After cleaning up the dinner table, He took Xiuxiu to the stove room and noodles, ready to order some noodles for Zhang Wenshan. The porridge they ate in the morning now has some clear soup and vegetable residues left, so naturally they can't serve guests.
Yang Liu was not embarrassed to wash the fruit sent by Zhang Wenshan directly and put it on the plate, and Zhang Wenshan took advantage of this time to look around. Although this courtyard is not as big as the subordinate room in their house, it is clean and tidy, and it can barely be seen. But if Miss's mother is still there, how can she fall into this kind of field?
Waiting for Yang Liu to sit down, Zhang Wenshan asked again, "Why don't you see your uncle?" ”
"I went hunting in the mountains, so I'm probably going to be back soon." Li Cong told Yang Liu last night that he was going to get up early to dig a trap in the mountains, and when Yang Liu opened his eyes today, Li Cong was no longer on the kang, "By the way, Uncle Zhang came here for something else, right?" Finding someone or an unannounced visit? ”
I came to visit the host without notifying him in advance. Zhang Wenshan had already thought of a rhetoric on the carriage, and he just used it at this time, but he didn't expect Yang Liu to be so sensitive. He stabilized his mind and said, "Third Miss, you think too much, the old slave is thinking that Miss's birthday is coming." Let's see if the young lady needs anything to prepare, the old slave may be able to help. ”
"yes, my birthday is coming?" Willow pretended to be confused. Although she didn't know it, she pretended that she was too busy to remember her birthday.
Zhang Wenshan replied with some emotion: "Yes." On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the day of the Queqiao Meeting. ”
…… Uncle Zhang. Are you sure you're not kidding me, it's at least two months before my birthday, it's too early.
Yang Liu also followed Zhang Wenshan's tone, pretending to sigh with a deep sigh, "Yes, I will be seventeen or eighteen years old in the blink of an eye." ”
Zhang Wenshan smiled, "Third Miss wants to grow up so much? It's a pity, this time after her birthday, Miss will be sixteen, and it will take two years to think that she will be seventeen or eighteen years old. ”
What, that means she got married shortly after she became an adult? Uh, no, it's not me, uh, it's me. Although the result was not satisfied, Yang Liu finally knew her own age. Hey, at a really pink age, her eyes touched a touch of light purple on her neck, and she suddenly wondered if purple was too old-fashioned for her current age.
At this time, He asked Xiuxiu to send a few egg pancakes, and asked Zhang Wenshan to pad his stomach first. Yang Liu also urged Zhang Wenshan to eat first, and poured a bowl of water intimately, Zhang Wenshan just wanted to ask anything, so he had to slow down for the time being. In fact, he couldn't eat it at all, but he was still stared at by Yang Liu and ate two sheets.
Yang Liu's nose moved, "Uncle Zhang is fine, my mother made eggs and scallion noodles, you can eat more later." ”
"...... "Should he praise Yang Liu for his keen sense of smell, but in fact, he is already very full, okay?" Oh no, he didn't come here to eat at all, right?
"How is the young lady getting along with the people in the tunzi?" Zhang Wenshan took a sip of water and smashed his mouth, what kind of taste is this, a little sweet and a little nasal.
"It's fine. I'm not going to provoke anyone. Yang Liu turned his chopsticks around, divided the remaining egg cakes into pieces, and replied.
If others provoke her, it will be a blessing for herself, and she still has a pair of sharp teeth under her cute appearance. Faint, but be careful.
"Do you know them all?"
Yang Liu smacked his tongue, "How can I recognize all of them with so many faces?" ”
Zhang Wenshan asked again: "Then have any strangers approached you recently?" ”
Yang Liu was about to answer, but suddenly noticed that something was wrong, Uncle Zhang was using her words, why?
"Hey, there's a problem," Yang Liu suddenly clapped his hands and said smartly: "I shouldn't be a princess who lives in the people." ”
Zhang Wenshan smiled dumbly, "How is it possible?" ”
"That's right." Yang Liu nodded, "And my mother!" Even if it were possible, I would be a county lord at best. ”
Zhang Wenshan couldn't help but smile and shook his head, looking at the young lady's appearance, he knew that his worries were unnecessary. It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. But he still gave a few more instructions, which made Yang Liu think that their family was going to have some enemies against her. Really, a little girl, what kind of special background does you have to make, don't be like this. Rich and expensive, she may not be able to afford it, and the fortune teller at night says that she will be blessed in her old age, and she is still plain when she is young.
After a while, Li Cong came back sweating. I met Zhang Wenshan, took a shower, and finally shared a whole bowl of egg noodles with Zhang Wenshan.
Before going back, Zhang Wenshan patted Li Cong on the shoulder a few times, got into the carriage without saying a word, and returned to the town. (To be continued......)
