Peach Blossom knows that with a little woman like her, who has thin bones and no power to restrain chickens, to fight with Liu Haitao, a strong old man, is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, and she is beyond her strength. So, she had an idea and came up with a way to "overcome rigidity with softness", and wanted to use good words to resolve the current passive and unfavorable situation.

After she thought about it, she smiled slightly, and then gently pushed Liu Haitao's arm with her hand, and said, "Since you like me, you should think about me, and you should respect me more, and you can't force me, don't you say?" ”

Liu Haitao said: "As long as you promise me, I will listen to you in the future." ”

"Really?"

"My words count."

"Okay, you let me go first, and when I need you in the future, I'll naturally tell you, okay?" Peach Blossom's delaying tactic is repeated again.

Since Peach Blossom has said so, Liu Haitao is of course willing to believe that Peach Blossom's words are true, he thinks: If she doesn't agree to her, it will make her hate herself, and she won't be able to get along in the future.

So, when he slowly let go of the hand holding the peach blossom, he suddenly said again: "That's okay, I promise you, as long as you are on good terms with me, I will never force you in the future." But now you have to let me be rare, okay? ”

As he spoke, he cupped Peach Blossom's face with both hands, his lips pressed tightly to hers.

Peach Blossom was speechless, and her two hands kept pushing his shoulders hard......

"Yo! Sweet potatoes pulled back? Peach blossom! As soon as Aunt Liu entered the house, she didn't know what was going on in the house.

Aunt Liu'er's sudden cry really startled Peach Blossom and Liu Haitao. Liu Haitao let go of his hand, and the two quickly separated.

Peach Blossom hurriedly combed her hair, and while wiping her lips, she promised her mother-in-law's call: "Mother! I'm in the house. ”

Liu Qiaoxian had just come back from getting vegetables from her own garden, and as soon as she entered the gate, she saw the sweet potatoes piled up in the courtyard, so she asked loudly: "Yo, peach blossoms, have we brought back the sweet potatoes we have distributed?" Liu Qiaoxian didn't know that Liu Haitao was still in the house.

Liu Qiaoxian's loud question really scared Peach Blossom half to death, but Liu Haitao was very frank, because he and Peach Blossom's aunt knew it in his heart.

When Peach Blossom hurriedly broke free from Liu Haitao's embrace, she hurriedly combed her hair and walked out of the house while wiping her lips.

"Mother, are you back?" Peach Blossom always looked a little flustered, and her eyes were also unnaturally avoiding her mother-in-law's eyes.

She reached out to pick up the food from her mother-in-law's hand, and she covered it up and said, "My naughty brother just brought back our sweet potatoes, and I poured him a bowl of water, and he drank it in the house." ”

Liu Haitao came out of the house, grinned at Aunt Liu, and explained to Peach Blossom's words: "Auntie is back?" But isn't it, I brought back your share first, I just drank a bowl of water, I hurry to get my share, and the army is still watching in the field. ”

Their explanations and cover-ups are superfluous, with Liu Qiaoxian's shrewdness and eyesight, can't you see that they are so restrained, stammering, and so unnatural when they speak, they are really full of loopholes and do not admit themselves.

But what exactly were they doing in the house? Liu Qiaoxian didn't know very well, but he was vaguely aware that Peach Blossom and Liu Haitao's speech and demeanor today were a little abnormal.

Depending on the situation, are they in the house...... Hey, in broad daylight, pure blind thoughts, this is Liu Qiaoxian's hurried thought in his mind.

Aunt Liu didn't say anything, she smiled and entered the house. She opened the curtain and glanced at her wife, muttering, "This old thing hasn't woken up yet, it's almost noon and still sleeping." ”

"What are you yelling at? I woke up early, I squinted for a while, and listened to the jokes for a while. Liu Laocun replied to Liu Qiaoxian in the outhouse: "You came back just in time, come in and platter my legs a little higher, my legs are panicked, sizzle...... It's all numb. ”

Don't mind, Liu Laocun's "drama box" is actually a radio, Liu Qiaoxian was afraid that his wife would lie on the kang all day long and panic, so he deliberately spent five yuan to ask someone to bring it back in the city.

Liu Qiaoxian heard her wife calling, and she agreed while arranging for Peach Blossom to hold Chai He to cook.

Liu Qiaoxian went into the house and took a pillow for his wife to cushion under the injured leg, Liu Laocun's leg was still wrapped in bandages, for several days, the barefoot doctor Lao Wang came to see twice, said that the injury was greatly improved, sent some anti-inflammatory drugs, let Liu Laocun take it twice a day in the morning and evening, as long as the injury is not inflamed, the injured leg heals quite well, for this, the whole family is very relieved and happy, finally there is no big problem.

Liu Qiaoxian whispered to his wife, "Did you wake up early?" Naughty pulling sweet potatoes back, you know no? ”

Liu Laocun replied: "I know, it was he who woke me up when he poured the sweet potatoes." ”

"How long has it been?"

"Probably...... There are three or four cigarette loans. What's wrong? ”

"Nothing." Liu Qiaoxian looked outside the house, and saw that Peach Blossom had not come back with Chai He, so she asked his wife again, "Didn't you hear what they said in the house?" What have they been doing for so long? ”

"I don't know, so I heard the naughty child say, first bring it back to our family, and the next car will pull his own little bit, and the army will load the car in the field. I heard Peach Blossom tell him to drink a bowl of water and rest for a while. ”

"And then?"

"Later, ......" Liu Laocun lay on the kang, looked at the beams of the house, thought for a while and said: "The naughty child went into the house and washed his face, but then he couldn't hear clearly, he could only hear them muttering in small voices, and he didn't know what they were talking about." ”

Liu Qiaoxian just wanted to ask something more, but at this time, Peach Blossom held Chai He and put it aside from the stove, and she asked, "Mother, what are we going to cook at noon?" Do I light a fire or not? ”

"You light the fire, stir-fry the vegetables first and then cook, I'll cut the vegetables." Liu Qiaoxian rolled up her sleeves and prepared to wash vegetables and cook.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law burned the fire and washed the vegetables, and they were busy for a while. Aunt Liu put the washed vegetables on the board, and said while cutting the shredded vegetables: "How about stir-frying more vegetables at noon today, first spicy cabbage, then scrambled eggs with green onions, and then fried with shredded meat and beans?" ”

Peach Blossom saw her mother-in-law's happy appearance today, she was naturally very excited, it was rare to be so happy. But she was very puzzled, she didn't understand why her mother-in-law was here?

She heard the sizzling sound in the pot, glanced into the pot, and said, "Mother, the pot is hot." ”

"Put some oil in the pot first, the cabbage is cut, let's spicy the cabbage first."

Peach Blossom was about to pour oil into the pot according to her mother-in-law's instructions, but her mother-in-law stopped her and said, "Ouch, my stupid girl, how much oil are you going to pour?" Less shelf. ”

"--Sizzle! Call! The hot pot was cold with oil, and suddenly the oil smoke in the pot was big, and then the fire burned, and the peach blossom screamed in fright: "Ouch! Look, the oil is on fire. ”

Liu Qiaoxian held a large handful of chopped cabbage and said, "Don't panic, it's okay, it's not on fire." ”

As the cabbage went into the pot, the fire was extinguished, and Peach Blossom sat down with confidence and continued to burn the fire again.

The first spicy cabbage was quickly ready, followed by chopped green onion and eggs.

Liu Qiaoxian mixed the freshly beaten eggs in the bowl, smiled slightly and said to Peach Blossom: "When I went to the garden to get vegetables and came back, Peach Blossom, guess who I met on the road?" ”

Peach Blossom smiled and asked, "Seeing that my mother is so happy, did you meet some nobleman?" ”

"Look at what this kid said, where did you come from? I've met your classmate named Cuihua. This girl has a really strong memory, and she recognized me at a glance, the eldest mother is long, the eldest mother is short, and the small mouth is really sweet enough. Hey, Peach Blossom, she's in her twenties this year, right? ”

Peach Blossom thought for a moment and replied, "She is twenty-two years old, a year older than me. ”

Liu Qiaoxian asked: "So do you know that she has a mother-in-law?" ”

Peach Blossom chuckled and said, "She's not high, not low, and she hasn't even had a target yet." ”

"Really?" When Aunt Liu heard this, she seemed to be excited all of a sudden, she straightened up and asked Peach Blossom and said, "Peach Blossom, discuss this matter for you, can we introduce Cuihua to your naughty brother, do you think it's okay?" ”

"What? Give her to ...... Sizzle...... Ouch! Peach Blossom was adding firewood to the stove, as soon as she heard Aunt Liu'er's conversation, she was stunned, the burning stick in her hand shook, and the "pop" Mars jumped out and landed on the back of her hand.

Liu Qiaoxian heard her scream, turned her head and hurriedly asked, "Are your hands hot?" What do you think? Let me see. ”

Peach Blossom covered her hands and hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, let Mars burn a little, it's not in the way." ”

Liu Qiaoxian saw that Peach Blossom's hand was fine, so she continued to knead the dough on the panel and prepare the pancakes.

"Peach Blossom, what I told you just now, do you see that it works?"

The mother-in-law's question made Peach Blossom's heart seem to be pricked by a needle, and she replied hesitantly: "I look at this...... Okay, too...... It's good, if they all have no opinion, I'll see ...... You can, I guess so. ”

Although Peach Blossom was happy to say this, her heart seemed to be suppressed by something, and she panicked and couldn't breathe; Suddenly, I felt a sour taste welling up in my heart.

Then, I heard Aunt Liu nagging to herself: "In my opinion, Cuihua, this girl is about to become a person, although she is not very good-looking, but she is a very shrewd girl, a farmer, strong, not crazy or stupid, and can do crop work." I, take a closer look at this girl, guess what? ”

Peach Blossom stared out of the house, not even hearing her mother-in-law's nagging words.

Liu Qiaoxian saw that she didn't respond, so she turned her face to look at her, and when Aunt Liu saw it, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh, peach blossoms!" The fire is burning! It's on fire! ”

"Oops!" Peach Blossom also jumped up in shock.

At this time, Liu Qiaoxian hurriedly scooped two scoops of water and splashed them on the firewood, which extinguished the fire, but the house was full of smoke and miasma.

Those firewood that was splashed wet with water were still "sizzling" and smoking green smoke, Peach Blossom quickly carried them out of the house, and choked her cough for a while, and her eyes were also smoked so that tears flowed down, okay, Peach Blossom squatted at the door and cried for a while, she couldn't wait to pour out all the sour water in her heart along the tears at once.
