Chapter 50: The Zhao family walks the water
Although this Luo Qinghe has a white face, it is estimated that he has given birth to a baby and is a little older, and his body is round and fat. has been doing farm work, with big shoulders and thick waist, and his strength is greater than that of ordinary men.
The mallet in this hand hit Liu Dechang, and he didn't show mercy at all, hammering one after another. Su Mi was dumbfounded on the side, and she was very anxious, for fear that something would happen: "Sister-in-law Luo, don't fight!" ”
Where did Luo Qinghe listen to Su Mi's words, the mallet in his hand hit a few more times, and then he stopped, stood up and kicked Liu Dechang, who fell to the ground and screamed, a few times: "Dare to bully a woman in Zhaojia Village, is it the woman's fault that this woman doesn't give birth to a baby?" Maybe it's you Liu Dechang who has a problem, you see your lady, she is handsome and knowledgeable, and she serves your family obediently, but you don't know how to lift? ”
Liu Dechang was about to stand up and refute, but when Luo Qinghe saw the situation, he kicked up again: "Under my Luo Qinghe's nose, cut my own woman like this, believe it or not, I beat you to death?" ”
Li Tingbing saw that her man was beaten by Luo Qinghe and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and most of the anger in her heart disappeared, but after being angry in the Liu family for a few years, she really couldn't bear it anymore, "Liu Dechang, you divorce me!" ”
"Stop the bleeding first, I'll give you this breath Luo Qinghe!" This Luo Qinghe's voice is very thick, roaring like this, you can hear it outside a few acres of fields. When the women around them saw that the widow was so fierce, they all scattered, for fear that they would die and that they would be stained with something unlucky.
Su Mi saw that there was Houttuynia cordata in the grass next to him, which grew green, so he pinched some of it, rubbed it in the palm of his hand, and took out the brocade that wiped his sweat from the placket of his clothes, fortunately, this brocade was just changed this morning, and he was cleanly wrapped with houttuynia cordata and applied it on Li Tingbing's face: "You are so raw, it hurts a little, this Houttuynia cordata is the best to stop bleeding!" ”
"If you have the ability, you will kill me, otherwise our Liu family will not want this woman who can't give birth to a baby!" Liu Dechang was forced to ask many times by his father and mother at home, and he was also aggrieved.
"If you kill you, you will be killed, it is better than if you kill a woman!" Although this Luo Qinghe is said to be a widow in Zhaojia Village, she has been widowed for many years, and she has never gossiped with any man.
"The daughter-in-law of the Liu family, you say something quickly, after all, one day husband and wife are one hundred days, this Liu Dechang is also your man, if something really happens, you will regret it!" Su Mi was very anxious, with a delicate and white little face, and she was so anxious that she was red.
Although the marriage between the two was forcibly twisted by their parents, after all, after three years of husband and wife, this affection still exists. Li Tingbing cried, her eyes were more sad and helpless: "If you still think that I am your wife, you will come out to live by yourself, and if you have no money to build a house, my mother's family can pay for it!" If I still live with my brother and sister-in-law and don't separate the family, then our marriage, even if you don't divorce me, I will never go back to Liu's house! ”
Just because she was not pregnant, the brother and sister-in-law of the Liu family used their brother and daughter-in-law as a maid, and they ate leftover cold dishes and cold rice. But Li Tingbing grew up in the Li family, and the family has a big shop, so it is not easy to endure these years.
"Look at this village, which family lives like your Liu family, a big family is not separated, and all the work in the family is done by the daughter-in-law, that is your daughter-in-law, don't you feel distressed, do you still expect your brother and sister-in-law to feel distressed?" Luo Qinghe is not an unreasonable woman, seeing that the man is softening, he put away the mallet in his hand.
"Look at what you mean, if you still want to continue to live with your brother and sister-in-law, then I'll go back to my parents' house!" Li Tingbing covered her face and left without looking back.
Unexpectedly, Liu Dechang got up and chased after him: "I am according to you, I am dependent on you!" ”
"This woman's temper can't be too good, otherwise everyone in the family will be bullied!" Luo Qinghe picked up his clothes again and looked at Su Mi with a smile.
Su Mi was relieved when he saw these two people like this. I was about to go back, but when I turned around, I saw white smoke billowing from his chimney and smoke from the cracks in the roof tiles.
"Why, I forgot to extinguish the fire in the stove room when I came out!" Su Mi only felt that his mind was blank, yelled at his house, and ran back.
Seeing the situation, Luo Qinghe hurriedly went to the edge of the field and called Zhao Laosan.
Su Mi ran home and entered the stove room, the water in the pot in the stove room had already been boiled dry, there was too much firewood in the stove, it was hot on this day, and it burned endlessly. The beams on the roof of the stove house were also smoking, and the tables and chairs in the house were almost burned.
Take the basin and go to the dam outside the house to fetch water and pour it on the fire. Unexpectedly, this basin of water did not work at all. I changed the big bucket and continued to pour water on the stove. Fortunately, there were not many things in this house, and it was not too late to come back, and the fire in this house was extinguished after a few buckets of water back and forth.
Looking up, there are still sparks jumping on the roof beams. Su Mi was anxious, and when she went out, she was about to carry the stairs to the roof in the morning, but she saw the man coming back.
Zhao Laosan looked nervous, his cheeks were cold and grim, he threw the hoe in his hand, and hugged the lady standing on the steps horizontally and put it in the ventilation of the dam: "You stand here!" ”
The man's hand moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he set up the stairs, and poured a bucket of water on the roof with one hand. A few buckets of water were poured back and forth, and now the roof was wet, so that no white smoke came out.
Su Mi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the sturdy man, his nose was sour, and his apricot eyes were red with tears: "Husband, it's all my fault, if I put out the fire, I won't go out of the water!" ”
"Is the lady hurt anywhere?" Zhao Laosan threw the barrel, came down from the roof, and asked in a low voice with a pair of big rough hands clasping his little lady's thin shoulders.
Su Mi was frightened, and when she heard the man ask herself, she burst into tears. The man knew that his little lady was scared, so he rubbed it into his arms, and only hugged it gently, and didn't ask much.
When her little lady was tired of crying, she said: "This summer, the firewood is dry, and it is easiest to go to water, and the lady must give birth better." If the fire is too big next time, the lady runs away by herself, and she doesn't care what else is at home! ”
Raising his eyes, the man's body was gray, but his dark eyes were full of gentleness and love, and Su Mi was relieved. After washing his small nose, crystal clear tears crossed his pointed chin again: "Husband, if I don't persuade you, our family won't go out of the water!" ”
"I heard the two members of the Liu family making noise in the field, but I didn't expect that my lady is still nosy, and she will definitely persuade her!" Zhao Laosan reached out and pinched Su Mi's dusty nose, and said softly.
"If you don't persuade you, the Liu family will die!" Su Mi pouted and pushed her man away. When I went to the well, I fetched a bucket of water and brought Jinpa to let my man wash his face first.
"Lady, you'd better wash it first, your face is full of ashes!"
Hearing what the man said, Su Mi lowered his head and shone his cheeks with well water, and his small cheeks were full of dust. Only those apricot eyes are still spinning.
"Husband, you're laughing at me!" Su Mi felt ashamed, hurriedly rolled up her sleeves, took a handful of water, and poured it on her face. He wiped his face with Jinpa, and the bucket of water was all black, and the Jinpa in his hand was also black.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a smile on the corner of the man's mouth, and pouted: "Husband, the stove room has been burned, and you still have the heart to laugh at your own woman?" ”
"You big face, it's much better than the stove room!" Zhao Laosan took a breath, strode over, poured the water in the bucket, scooped half a bucket again, and put his strong arm in it to wash.
"With a stupid little lady like you, I really can't laugh or cry!" Zhao Laosan washed his face, shook his head and said helplessly.
Su Mi knew that his man didn't really dislike him, but when he saw that the man didn't blame himself, he was even more nervous about his safety, and he still blamed himself very much: "Husband, this stove is burning, and the noon meal can't be cooked!" ”
"A meal is not simple, we are cooking in the dam now, I will clean up the stove in the afternoon, and I can continue to cook tomorrow!" Zhao Laosan's movements were quick, and after speaking, he made a ventilated place in the dam, supported it with stones, and went to the stove room to carry the pot over and put it on the stones.
"But...... But husband, all the meat and vegetables in this stove are burned! Su Mi pouted, looked at her man with a pair of watery eyes, and said a little embarrassed.
Seeing that her little lady was ashamed and self-blaming, Zhao Laosan didn't feel angry, his heart was warm, and he reached out and pinched his slightly reddened cheeks: "The lady knows that she is wrong, fortunately, she only burned the dry firewood and tables and chairs in front of the stove, this cupboard is fine, cook some noodles and eat them with mushroom sauce, the same is a set thing!" ”
"It's good that this mushroom sauce didn't burn, otherwise it would have been a waste of such good ingredients!" Su Mi ran to the stove room to take a look, there was another water tank made of stone in front of this cupboard, so the fire was cut off, this cupboard did not burn at all, so the fire did not burn to the side house, the little piglet behind the house was very strong, and he was still asleep in the pigsty.
"You, it's a blessing that you're okay, it seems that I won't dare to let you cook at home alone in the future!" Zhao Laosan said while contemplating.
Su Mi lit the fire in front of the stove, and when she saw the embarrassed appearance of the two, she was angry and funny. The man moved quickly, and after a while, the dough was torn into noodles and put into the pot. There were no greens, so Su Mi saw that there were some bracken under the pear tree, so he pulled some of them, washed them with cool well water, threw them in the pot, and put them in a bowl when the noodles were cooked.
The man took out a jar of mushroom sauce from the stove, scooped some into a bowl, and the two of them ate like this. The man felt very happy, Su Mi lowered his head, picked a little meat star and put it in his mouth: "Is this bowl of noodles enough, husband, not enough for me to make more!" ”
