Chapter Ninety-Seven: People in Lijiatun (1)
Li Dahe's father and son, Li Cong, Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao formed a table with a bowl of burning knife wine in front of them, and no one spoke first.
It's embarrassing, the enemy is a benefactor or a relative, they haven't encountered so many situations, and there are not so many coincidences in the script.
Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao sat on the table, staring at the pointed chicken and roasted potatoes in the earthen porcelain bowl on the table, the coarse steamed buns in the shakkia with no original color, a bowl of cucumbers, roasted eggplants on the plate, lean peppers, stewed green beans, and a plate of fried pickles (rotten meat cowpeas), they couldn't help but look at each other, complete farm food, Mom, today is really here to experience farm life.

In the stove room, Xiuxiu and Yang Liu are waiting for the braised pork in the pot to be cooked, and then a vegetarian dish can be served.
Xiuxiu is still a little confused: "Fifth sister-in-law, that disciple, no, are those two really your cousins?" ”
"I don't know." Yang Liu shrugged, she herself was a confused account, how could she solve the puzzles of others. "But it's true that I hit the third brother, and it's also true that I saved my mother."
There is a difference between men and women, even if it is really the relationship between cousins and cousins, it can't be found out without saying some private words, after all, this skin is the real willow. Thinking of this, Yang Liu has nothing to worry about, whether it is her cousin or not, the Li family should invite others to have a meal.
"Ouch, that's complicated." Xiuxiu wrinkled her little face and said distressedly.
"What's so complicated, after eating this meal, I won't be able to see each other in the future." Yang Liu lifted the lid of the pot and put the bright red braised pork on the plate.
Xiuxiu felt that Yang Liu was a little ruthless: "Fifth sister-in-law, that's your cousin." How are you?"
Yang Liu was a little speechless, distant and close. How could Qiaoqiao speak for two outsiders? She reminded: "It was they who hit the third brother." ”
"But they also saved my mother, and they are still relatives. Maybe it was an accident last time. "Xiuxiu is a kind and simple little girl, I don't know if I have added the relationship of relatives now, and I have thought of a lot of good things for Dongfang Bai. This time it's not so much about saving my mother, it's better to say that I also saved her, if it weren't for my mother's refusal to go to the town, Xiuxiu felt that she should also say: "Do you think I want to apologize to them for what happened last time?" ”
"You're not doing anything wrong." Yang Liu handed the tray to Xiuxiu, didn't let her talk anymore, and raised her chin, "Girl, serve." ”
Seeing that Yang Liu obviously didn't want to continue the topic. Xiuxiu pouted, but still didn't say anything and walked out with the dishes. When Xiuxiu walked out, Yang Liu looked at the door and couldn't help but shake his head, what is this called, relatives, enemies, hey, scooped the scoop of water into the pot, and Yang Liu began to shake the pot again.
Li Cong took out a plate of braised pork from the wooden tray. "Second uncle, cousin, two cousins, try my lady's handiwork."
This cousin Li Cong shouted very reluctantly. Not long ago, he stopped their husband and wife on the street and injured his third brother, but the person who had injured him turned into his mother's life-saving benefactor, and he was also his daughter-in-law's distant cousin. He was in a relationship with the two women he was closest to. Is God playing with him?
"Since it's my cousin's craft, I naturally have to try it." Dongfang Bai took the lead in picking up chopsticks. But he didn't move, and faced Li Dahedao, who was sitting at the top: "Second uncle and cousin." Please. ”
Second uncle and cousin, how affectionate it is, is that his second uncle and cousin, okay, what kind of trouble are you calling such a kiss, ah, Li Cong roared in his heart.
"Eat the vegetables and eat the vegetables." Li Dahe is still in a trance, he is a rough man, he can actually eat at the same table with the rich boy, Li Dahe doesn't know where to put some hands and feet. I wanted to say a few words about the scene, but I was afraid that Lu Ban would make people laugh by playing a big axe in front of the door, so I simply said a few words dryly, and it was safe.
Because of the two more people, the meal was not lively, and it was even a little embarrassing, but the atmosphere was much better than before.

This table for women and children.
"Brother and sister, are those two really your cousins?" Xiao He asked.
This is the first time she has been asked, Yang Liu shook his head: "I don't know, I'm not impressed." ”
"We are poor relatives, what is worth befriending, and we came to see it. Mother, do you think they will do anything? "If it was true that visiting relatives and friends would not have dragged on for so long,
"You only have three thatched huts, what else can you worry about. People go to relatives and come out of the wrong way. Eating can't stop your. ”
Yang Liu and Xiuxiu were in the same room, and Li Cong took Dongfang Bai and the two of them to rest on a kang, and they each settled down without mentioning it.
Dongfang Bai grinned and rubbed his back and walked out of the room, he had never slept on such a hard kang, he almost broke his waist.
"Uncle Cousin, eat." It was impossible for Li Cong to put a few female dependents in the house, after all, even Yang Liu couldn't be sure whether these two were relatives or not. When he wanted to plough the field, he threw three little turnip heads into the house, and when they got up, he took them around.
Dongfang Bai and Jing Hao had breakfast and asked Dashan to take them out for a walk.
***
Li Baowa's recent life has not been very good, since he came out of prison, he first lay on the kang for half a month, and his body was just a little better before he was detained at home by his mother Tan to work, and he was not allowed to leave a single step. He had just been imprisoned, and he had temporarily stopped thinking about running around. Who knew that it was hard to work at home and it happened to be a busy time for farming, Mai Manzha made him uncomfortable but had to bite the bullet, how could he have suffered so much when he was so old? Of course, his mother Tan still gave him two options, either he had to stay under Tan's nose even if he didn't help, or he could pay back to his brothers-in-law. The road in front is not easy to choose, and the road behind is not necessarily a good road. He is not afraid of the Tan family and his sisters, but he is afraid of the black and strong brother-in-law, they will really teach him a lesson.
The family used cattle for the past two days, and he couldn't help much, so he was sent out to cut the cow grass, and if it was perfunctory, he would serve it with bamboo boards. originally thought that his mother was joking, and only cut half of the back basket and came back, and when the bamboo board really fell on him, he knew that his mother was really willing to beat him. Not only his mother, but even the seventh sister became more and more violent to him, as if he betrayed his relatives overnight. But he doesn't complain about them the most, and isn't it all caused by those two rich and noble sons who have eaten enough and have nothing to do? He was so angry that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do. Li Baowa lowered her head and resigned herself to her fate and began to cut the cow grass, fortunately, at this time, the water and grass were abundant, and he rarely touched the sickle, and he also cut most of the cow grass on his back.
"Uncle Cousin, let's go this way." Dashan dutifully led the way in front, saw that Dongfang Bai and the two had taken a fork in the road, and shouted a reminder.
Dongfang Bai wanted to take a walk by himself: "The scenery here is good, the mountains, you go and send water first, and come back to us later." ”
"Then don't run around, I'll be back soon." Dashan gritted his teeth, although he was not at ease, it was important to send water first. The two of them won't still be lost in the tunzi.
"Go, go, go." Dongfang Bai waved his hand, and went to the ridge on the left with Jing Hao.
The big guys all wanted to do more work when the weather was cool in the morning, even if they saw Dongfang Bai and the two of them, they didn't gather around like last night, and even if someone noticed them, their faces were surprised and strange. Last night's news was too exciting, they thought that at most they would leave quietly after breakfast, how could they have thought that people could still swagger out and hang around, and there was no embarrassment on their faces. Well, it's their thin-skinned faces.
But they just think about it, Li Dahai's family didn't complain, and they didn't have a position to say anything. After a good walk, they will be busy.
"It's such a pleasant farm life." Dongfang Bai stretched his waist comfortably. How good it is here, no one pays attention to you all the time, and there is no intrigue,
As soon as the mountain left, Jing Hao put on a poker face, and poured a basin of cold water from time to time to cool down: "When you become a farmer yourself, you will know that the farm life is comfortable." ”
Dongfang Bai already has immunity, and he can still persevere, and he can find other beauty: "It's so fresh air." ”
"Are you sure you don't smell a stench of?" Jing Hao said with a wrinkled nose.
Dongfang Bai's eyes suddenly lit up: "What a beautiful girl." ”
"Hurry up, I don't want to be misunderstood and teased by his daughter, and be arrested to be my son-in-law." After saying that, he sped up his pace and slipped away first.
Dongfang Bai was annoyed by Jing Hao's words that he could make a mistake no matter what, and when he saw that group of girls coming over, he hurriedly followed.
"Sister Hua Miao, those two ran away." The girl named Li Dongmei stomped her feet a little embarrassed, and she also dressed up and wanted to block people, but she knew that she was still far away, and they ran away.
"Let's run away and disperse, as long as they are still in Lijiatun." Hua Miao waved her hand absently. She originally wanted to come by herself, so that she could take the opportunity to make a good impression and make a good impression for future plans. However, there was more than one girl with this idea, and Hua Miao was intercepted halfway, and then the team got bigger and bigger, and Hua Miao didn't have the heart to go to those two people anymore. Now seeing that Dongfang Bai and the two are about to leave, Hua Miao said forget it, complaining in her heart that she is such a troublemaker, but she is not such an easy person to leave the group, wouldn't it be good to go and talk to Xiuxiu at night? She secretly pouted at the girls who were still complaining, and said something unkind, the building near the water would get the moon first, and she could talk to Xiuxiu first.
Thinking of this, she took the lead in turning around and going home, she still had to think about what to say when she saw the two sons at night.
Just to avoid those overly enthusiastic girls, Dongfang Bai and the others didn't look at the road, but when they saw the transparent lake in front of them, they couldn't help but admire.
Separated by a ridge, it seems to be two worlds of the secular and the fairy, quiet but not rigid, and one color but not monotonous. Dongfang Bai rolled up his sleeves and squatted down to fetch water.
Li Baowa, who was mowing the grass, suddenly looked up, and just saw Dongfang Bai squatting and touching the lake, and immediately bluffed his face white, stood up in a hurry, and shouted: "Don't move." (To be continued......)
