The days are busy, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the ejiao process made by Su Liu has reached the last moment.

In the small courtyard of the Su family, Su Liu moved a pestle and stood in front of the stove, holding a big shovel and stirring the donkey skin inside, pausing for a while, and adding medicinal materials such as ginseng, guixiong, orange, cinnamon, licorice, etc.

Chen was helping her add firewood, and the mother and daughter were both sweating profusely.

In order to ensure the hygiene of Ejiao, Su Liu coiled his hair tightly, and specially made a headscarf to wrap his hair well, so as not to let a trace of impurities fall into the pot.

The most difficult part of making ejiao is the process before the glue, which must be constantly stirred so that the colloid is uniform and the most laborious. This is thanks to Su Liu's body that has been raised for two or three months, but it is not as weak as when he first came, although it is not out of strength, but it is also tired enough.

The Chen family was willing to help her, but Su Liu was afraid that she would not be able to grasp the law, and this was the first time she tried it, so she didn't dare to let her stir it, so she did it herself.

Just two hours passed, and the kitchen was filled with the unique smell of Ejiao donkey skin, which was slightly bitter, but Su Liu was so excited.

After taking a closer look at the colloids in the pot, it felt similar to what he had seen in his colleague's workshop in his previous life, so Su Liu carefully picked up the pot and took a lead basin brushed with soybean oil and carefully installed it.

"Is that what happened?" Chen asked, looking at the small half basin of colloids in the basin.

"I can't do it yet, I still have to gel." Su Liu smiled and closed the lid, and the two of them worked together to trap the lead basin with a rope, and then took it to the well.

The gel needs to be at a very low temperature, and now that it is autumn, there is no winter, and there is no ice cellar or anything at home, in order to make the gel faster, Su Liu thought of hanging the ejiao basin in the well.

The well water has always been cold, and the well is cold, in the summer, the farmer has a well, and it is very common to hang the food in the well like this to keep it fresh, which is also the best way for Su Liu to think of at present.

The mother and daughter carefully lowered the basin down into the well, and when it was two feet above the water, they collected the rope, tied it firmly to the well, and covered the manhole.

"It's hard for you to think of such a way." Chen sighed when he had done all this.

Su Liu grinned and said, "When we have money in the future, we will renovate our home and build an ice cellar, so that we don't have to be in the well." ”

"In the past, I only said that you were silent, and I don't know what you were doing, where did you come to have so many ideas?" Chan pointed to her forehead.

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, Su Liu's heart skipped a beat, his eyes rolled, and he lowered his voice mysteriously: "Mother, don't tell anyone, in fact, I dreamed of Mrs. Lu, she taught me." ”

"Really?" Chen screamed.

Su Liu nodded solemnly, and recited the Buddha again in her heart, hoping that Mrs. Lu would be strange, and she was forced to borrow her name.

"Ouch, why didn't you say it earlier?" Chen is a typical peasant family, and he also believes in gods and Buddhas, and now when he heard Su Liu say this, he had to put his palms together and recite a good sentence, and he was busy burning incense for Mrs. Lu.

Su Liu smiled when he saw it, glanced at the tightly covered manhole cover, and let out a long breath, he finally completed such a big thing, and then waited for the finished product, I hope it won't be too bad.

Thinking about this bad, Su Liu remembered that Ning Guang hadn't come for the past few days, and couldn't help frowning, what is this guy doing? Since Ning Guang came that day, he seemed to be very unhappy.

"Mother, I'll go to Ning Guang to have a look!" Su Liu thought about it, then went into the house and got some things, called the kitchen again, and listened to Chen's answer, so he went.

Ning Guang didn't go anywhere else today, sitting in his yard looking at the sky, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Brother Ning." Seeing him at home, Su Liu trotted forward.

Seeing her coming, Ning Guang snorted lightly and walked to the side to chop firewood.

"Brother Ning, why haven't you been to our house for dinner in the past two days?" Su Liu asked with a smile.

"I'm not anyone, it's not appropriate to go to your house all the time, I don't have to let people gossip." Ning Guang was lukewarm and authentic.

Su Liu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at him cautiously, is this person having a temper?

"Who said that, who are you or us?" Su Liu blinked, stepped forward and said, "Don't chop wood, what do you see I brought you?" She lifted the burden in her hand.

Ning Guang glanced at it, the movements in his hand paused, and he turned his face away a little awkwardly, but he wanted to continue chopping wood, but Su Liu took the opportunity to step forward and grab his axe, and pulled him to the side of the stone steps to sit down.

Shake off the baggage, revealing a royal blue silk cloth inside, although Ning Guang didn't look at it, but the corner of his eye was visible, and the joy in his eyes suddenly came up.

"I don't know if you like this color, I think it's good, you stand up, wear it and try it." Su Liu shook off the clothes and said.

Ning Guang was a little embarrassed, and let her pull to stand up, Su Liu took the clothes and put them on him, and tidied them up on his heels.

She was close at hand, sometimes tiptoe to straighten his collar, sometimes brushing the hem and sleeves of his clothes, and the girl's Xinxiang burrowed into the tip of his nose, and the fine strands of hair were blowing on his face in the wind.

Ning Guang was a little dazed, and looked at the person in front of him stupidly.

"The sleeves are longer here, but fortunately they are long, and they can be cut short, but if they are short, I really don't know how to change them." Su Liu compared it for a while, then twisted his right sleeve and smiled while raising his eyes.

When he looked up, he saw Ning Guangzhi looking at her in a daze, with a pair of eyes as deep as Tan, Su Liu suddenly felt a little flustered in his heart, his face turned red, and his heart jumped up.

Seeing that her face was as red as a ripe red apple, Ning Guang was also a little embarrassed, and only felt that there was a commotion running around her body.

Both coughed and looked away.

"You take it off, I'll change it tonight." Su Liu was embarrassed and said hesitantly.

"If it's so troublesome, just pull it up." Ning Guang went straight to roll up his sleeves.

Su Liu slapped his hand and said angrily: "A good piece of clothing, what does it look like." So saying, he went straight to pick up his clothes.

Ning Guang saw that she rarely showed the delicate state of her little daughter, and her heart had already softened into a puddle of water, so she let her take it off, but said: "Women are trouble." ”

Su Liu glared at him and said, "Come on, you, I still kicked my nose and looked at you, I haven't made clothes for that man yet, even I ......"

The father in her mouth swallowed it back when it came to her mouth, and Ning Guang didn't understand anything, so she changed the topic and said, "Why didn't you go to the stall today." ”

Su Liu didn't want to mention those bad people, and said: "Ejiao is going to complete the most difficult process today, and the glue is going to be released." ”

"It's finished?" Ning Guang was very surprised.

Su Liu showed a smile: "It's not good enough for others, and there are six or seven of them." ”

If they don't do it well, they can eat it themselves, but she just didn't say too much, looking at the condition, it shouldn't be much worse, as long as the knowledgeable people see it, and then consider improving it.

Ning Guang nodded, pulled her over and sat down, and the action naturally made Su Liu stunned for a moment, and his face turned red again.

Unable to find a topic for a while, Su Liu talked about her next plan, if Ejiao was done this time and sold for money, she planned to buy the nearby land to plant pepper tomatoes.

Listening to her vision for the future, Ning Guang turned her head to look at her, she tilted her head slightly, her lips curved, the two rows of eyelashes flashed like fans, and the whole person seemed very peaceful, just looking at her like this, I felt that my heart was quiet.

"After the year, let's get married." Ning Guang said suddenly.

Su Liu naturally hummed, and only then did he feel that something was wrong, and he turned his head suddenly: "What did you say?" ”

"After the year, we will be married."

Su Liu was really shocked this time, and looked at Ning Guang speechless for a long time: "Marriage? ”

Ning Guang's face sank, and he said, "What, you don't want to?" ”

Was it really expected by him? This girl has taken a fancy to Song Fei's skin? Thinking of this, Ning Guang's face became gloomy again.

"It's not." Su Liu shook his head and said, "Aren't you unwilling?" ”

She said it twice, but Ning Guang didn't reply, she thought in her heart that he was afraid that he would not want to, and he was bent on making money, so she put this aside in advance.

Ning Guang was a little sneering, turned his head, and said, "Aren't you still young?" ”

This is true, Ning Guang himself is eleven years older than her, and he always feels inappropriate, but now that he has been together for a long time, he is really not without feelings, and as soon as Song Fei's brother appeared, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis, especially Song Fei.

The point is, those two people have too much to say, and what they say is not something he can interject, this crop, he is just a rough man, he used to dance knives and guns, where do you understand this?

But Song Fei appeared, although he was like that, he was a man who loved to make fields, and he actually talked to Su Liu aside, and he was also familiar with his sister and brother.

Ning Guang couldn't tell what it felt, so he felt that the pot only had the meat and vegetables he liked and no one came to grab them, and suddenly someone came to grab him, as if there were signs of grabbing it.

Now that he saw that Su Liuyue was getting better, he was also a little anxious and said what he meant.

If Su Liu knew that he was comparing himself to a pot of meat and vegetables in his heart, he might not know how to jump to his feet.

Although this person said that he liked it, and he had also said about the marriage in the past, but now that he said it automatically, Su Liu was inevitably a little shy, and said hesitantly: "After the year?" ”

"Hmm!" Ning Guang stretched out his hand to pick up the broken hair in her ear and said, "Settle for marriage after the year, and wait for you to get married later." ”

Su Liu became more and more shy when he heard this, lowered his head, his face was hot, and he hummed like a mosquito.

Ning Guang saw that she agreed, but he smiled, and thought about it, since he was going to get married, if he got married, it would be next year, and the house here would definitely not be able to live, so he would simply build a house with Su Liu and them.

After thinking about it, Ning Guang walked into the house again, took out an iron can from it, and stuffed it into Su Liu's arms.

"What is this?" Su Liu was stunned, and asked while uncovering the iron can, and when she saw the contents inside, she opened her mouth in shock: "This?" ”

There was nothing in it, but a small stack of silver tickets, and when I picked it up, I saw that there were ten taels, fifty taels, and one hundred taels, which was as much as five hundred taels.

"How can there be so many silver tickets?" Su Liu was really shocked, he couldn't imagine that this product was a real tyrant!

Ning Guang's eyes were a little complicated, he opened his eyes, and said vaguely: "It's what you have saved over the years, you take it, buy the land near your home, and wait for the next year to build a bigger house." ”

"Huh?" Su Liu was a little stunned, then his mind turned, he understood what he meant, his face turned red again, and he coughed, and said, "The house, well, it's better to push the rebuilding of our house, right?" ”

"Whatever you want." Ning Guang didn't care, he wanted to stand up, thought of the past, and asked: "I, if I am just a hunter who can hunt, and I can't give you any glory and wealth, will you still marry?" If you were to stay in this village for the rest of your life, would you like to? ”

Su Liu felt that he was a little strange today, and said, "What else do you have that you can't do?" It's good to know how to hunt, at least not to starve. As for glory and wealth, we have our own hands and feet, and we earn our own money, and we all live a prosperous life. ”

She is not wrong, the so-called wealth is not just like that, there is silver, land and land, there are people to serve, and the life is rich.

Ning Guang looked at her fixedly and said, "Don't you want to be an official's wife and a master?" ”

Su Liu frowned and shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Ning Guang didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it, this little girl, doesn't she have a little vanity, don't women want to be a good person?

Thinking so, he asked: "Women want to be a good family, and the servants are waiting in groups, and they are envied by everyone." ”

Su Liu snorted, rolled his eyes, and said, "We have silver, we can do it." You think that the big family is so good, you don't see the suffering of those women in the deep house. Let me tell you, the bad things of big families are different from those of us from poor families, and the means are only different, how bad it is, it is better to be the master of your own house. ”

Ning Guangyan looked at her deeply, what Nizi said was as if she had experienced it herself.

"But while we haven't gotten married yet, let's make it clear first." Su Liu thought of the most important point, and spoke.

"You say."

"I don't like big families, because there are many wives and concubines in big families, and there are many right and wrong, and I can't look down on men with three wives and four concubines. If you have me, you can only guard me and live alone, and you can't take concubines or anything. Su Liu looked at him steadily.

She has a habit of cleanliness, but she can't accept her husband sleeping with others, which will make her feel dirty, dirty and disgusting, so she would rather say ugly things first.

Ning Guang was stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face, and said, "What if you have no children for many years?" ”

Su Liu was almost angry to death: "Dead man, you curse me!" She pinched him hard and said, "Don't worry, if that's the case, I'll give you the vine position." "In this era, it is impossible for her to let a man accept Dink, she is really so unlucky to that point, she will give way, as long as she holds the silver, she is afraid that the life will not be successful?

Unexpectedly, Ning Guang was annoyed by these words, patted her on the head, and said angrily: "It's just nonsense, I will talk about peace and leave before I get married." ”

Su Liu was patted with his teeth, and when he saw his angry face, he had to coax him softly, and when he saw that his face was better, he slandered in his heart, who made you men unable to control their own trouser belts?
