Chapter Seventy-One: Afternoon

71

(Thanks to duyijian for the peach blossom fan, it is cool to use in summer.) )

"Mother is back." Yang Liu wiped his hands on his apron and greeted him from the stove room with a smile.

"Hmm." He poured the ears of wheat into the drying field, but he was still a little worried about his family and went home. I saw that the yard was clean, not even a single grass was seen, wheat grains were spread on the broken bamboo mats, and yellowed vegetable leaves were picked from the basket at the corner of the corridor. The official statement of Yang Liu's condition to the public is heat stroke, but Li Cong still confessed to He Shi in private, and He Shi made up his mind at the dinner table. Otherwise, with Yu's personality, how could he go to the ground without a trace of complaint? "Why don't you take a break?"

"It's just heat stroke, I'm fine now." Yang Liu poured a bowl of cold white and brought a small bench out.

He sat on the stool, took the bowl and took a sip of water, then turned his head and ordered, "Boil me some boiling water and put it in a clay pot, and I'll take it to the field." ”

"Qiaoqiao went home and loaded water just now, probably took a fork in the road and didn't meet you." Yang Liu took the pu fan to the He family, and asked, "Mother, do you want to eat at home at noon?" ”

In the past few days, the family has spent all their time in a hurry to cut the ears of wheat, and the ten acres of dry land have been almost cut, and the rest can be cut tomorrow morning at the latest. He looked at the sky, there would be no rain in the past few days, and he was not so anxious, so he took a nap after eating to avoid the sun, so as not to cause heat stroke. She stretched out her hand to stop the willow fanning and said, "Come back and eat, mix some cucumbers, and get some refreshing dishes to eat." ”

Yang Liu nodded in response, and began to think about what to cook with both hands on the handle of the fan. After He finished drinking the water, he put the bowl on the bench and stood up, stretched out his back and put it on his shoulder, "I went down to the ground." ”

"Mother, come back early, I'm getting ready to cook." Yang Liu helped He carry the basket and added: "Tie Zhu is at home, don't look for him everywhere." ”

He nodded, buttoned up his straw hat and walked out.

According to He's request, Yang Liu patted a plate of cucumbers, cold eggplant, green beans cut into shreds and fried with oil residue, a spoonful of chicken soup and water seasoning and boiled, blanched a handful of cabbage, and the remaining chicken pieces and potatoes were stewed together. Coupled with the leftover steamed buns in the morning, it is very hearty on the table.

When there is enough time, the willow boiled gruel likes to be boiled slowly over low heat, so that the porridge is delicious. When the willow was fried and the gruel resting on the copper basin was cooked, and a layer of delicate, viscous, and anointing oil was already floating on the surface of the gruel, the rest of the Li family came back.

"Yo, this wooden barrel is drying the dowry." As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Yu's energetic voice sounded, but what he said was not welcome. When she got closer and saw the water in the bucket, she burst into a high-pitched female voice: "Yo, I said brother and sister, don't worry about the water, you are still basking in the sun." We have been busy all day, and we are all as tired as dogs, you don't feel sorry for us, you have to feel sorry for the fifth brother. You use water lavishly, and the fifth brother works hard to pick it, and you can't call it hard just because the fifth brother is your man. ”

Wen Shi turned his head and pursed his lips, and said You are a dog, but I am not, I felt a little guilty in my heart, and I didn't even dare to look at Yang Liu. Li Wu glared at Yu Shi fiercely, he was really a person who didn't keep the door open, and he scolded himself when he spoke, stupid.

Yang Liu walked out with a melon scoop and a wooden basin, and greeted the others when Yu Shi spoke, seeing that Yu was about to pluck water into the wooden bucket near her to wash her hands, Yang Liu unceremoniously stretched out the melon scoop to block it.

"What are you doing, you have to wash your hands? What do you mean, you almost hurt my fingers, do you know! Yu's fingers touched the back of the melon scoop, and it hurt stiffly, Yu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he stared at Yang Liu with his hands on his waist.

Yang Liu scooped the water into the basin, then raised his eyes to look at Yu Shi and said: "Wash your hands and scoop the water into the basin, I bask in this water for the second brother and the third brother and my father-in-law to take a bath, and if it is dirty, I have to let my father-in-law be tired to pick it up, I feel distressed." ”

"Fifth sister-in-law, I'll come, I'll come." Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Xiuxiu hurriedly took the wooden basin from Yang Liu's hand and said, "Mother, come and wash your hands." ”

Li Cong walked up to Yang Liu and shouted: "Lady"

Knowing that Li Cong felt sorry for himself, Yang Liu smiled and whispered, "I'm fine, wash your hands and get ready to eat." ”

Hearing that the water was for them to bask in, Li Qiang smiled and thanked Yang Liu. Li Wu also thanked him, he glanced at Yu, but he didn't feel good in his heart. is a daughter-in-law of others, Yu is not as careful as Yang Liu, even the little things such as taking a shower are taken to heart, and then seeing the circle of fat protruding from his waist when Yu bends down to wash his hands, Li Wu turned his eyes to the side.

woke up Tiezhu, and the Li family gathered around for lunch.

Liu's words were taken to heart by He's in the end, and now that the farm is busy, He doesn't have time to interrogate Xiuxiu, but he just took a nap and left Xiuxiu in the house, and asked her to help Yang Liu wash her clothes, turn over the wheat, cut pigweed, or something.

Since the He family went to the ground, Xiuxiu has been listlessly helping Yang Liu to work, and she has not stopped laughing as usual. Yang Liu glanced at her carefully and said with a smile: "Why do you keep pouting?" ”

Xiuxiu casually broke the beans in her hand in half and threw them into the wooden basin: "I want to go to the field." ”

"Oh?" Yang Liu was a little surprised, is there really a person who likes to bask in the sun to feel the meat of Maimanza? Girls love beauty, Yang Liu didn't think Xiuxiu really wanted to bask in the sun, so she said half-truthfully: "I still want to go to the field, I see that you have been tanned for the past few days." ”

"Really?" Xiuxiu's casual expression suddenly closed, and she asked Yang Liu for confirmation with some nervousness: "Really tanned?" I wear a straw hat. ”

Yang Liu was speechless, who said that if you wear a straw hat, you can't tan. But before she could speak, Xiuxiu hurried to her boudoir and looked in the mirror.

Yang Liu lowered his head and rubbed the clothes in his hand again, and after a while, Xiuxiu walked out and stomped her feet: "Sister-in-law, you lied to me." ”

"Is there one?" Yang Liu teased: "I don't believe you take off your clothes and look at it, the skin on your neck is by no means the same color as the skin on your body." By the way, don't look in the mirror, look at it with your own eyes. Yang Liu added that the bronze mirror of this era is very blurry, and it is not clear at all, and Yang Liu also sits in front of the dresser every time, combing according to his own experience. In her opinion, a bronze mirror is not as clear as a reflection on the water.

Xiuxiu blushed and twisted: "Sister-in-law, hello"

Isn't it, that's overstepping? Girl, I'm here to show you your own body, you're so shy.

finally Xiuxiu finished speaking: "Sister-in-law, you are so ugly." ”

Willow: ""
