Chapter 219: The Heart of Defense
At this dinner at Li Fanghua's house, except for Xia Miao, who had no other thoughts, it is estimated that only Wu Xiaoyan came to eat.
Wu Xiaoyan's mind is all on the food on the table, and Li Fanghua's cooking skills are indeed not bad.
In addition, she is already hungry for meat, so she is all about eating.
She didn't notice whether Li Fanghua and Xu Qiuhe's side knock on the side with some kind of purpose.
In addition, in the past interpersonal interactions, it has become a habit for her to show off her family background and the glory of her parents.
In the process of questioning and answering at dinner, she shook off her family situation and her parents' work in one go.
She noticed Xu Chunsheng's fiery eyes, and while enjoying his vanity, he saw Xu Chunsheng as nothing more than a toad with a delusional swan.
Wu Xiaoyan wanted to leave after eating politely, and Li Fanghua eagerly instructed Xu Chunsheng to send it.
However, Wu Xiaoyan was still very reserved and pulled Xu Qiuhe to avoid suspicion, Xu Qiuhe thought that Wu Xiaoyan was showing favor and naturally couldn't ask for it.
As for Xu Chunsheng, he was already very satisfied that he could follow Wu Xiaoyan behind her back and appreciate her walking posture.
Over there, Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian arrived at Wanhuan's house, and the two girls were actually quite embarrassed.
Wang Qian is simple and shy when she arrives in the new environment, and Li Xiuzhu is really a little embarrassed.
Li Xiuzhu felt that it was inappropriate for her to use Duan Huan as an excuse to avoid Li Fanghua, and she took the initiative to hand her a ladder without caring about it, which made her even more guilty.
She lit the kerosene lamp, asked them to put down their books, and beckoned them to drink water and eat peanuts and melon seeds.
"That...... I'm sorry, but I'm not here to borrow notes from you! Li Xiuzhu rubbed her hands.
Wan Huan smiled, "I know, you are trying to avoid Sister-in-law Fanghua!" ”
"Comrade Xiao Xu, she is usually so enthusiastic? It's overwhelming! Wang Qian's face was red.
Li Xiuzhu frowned and shook her head, "I don't think things are so simple, as the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you will be a traitor or a thief!" ”
"She usually speaks enthusiastically, but she doesn't act as exaggerated as she does today!" Duan Huan felt that Li Fanghua's attitude was wrong.
Thinking about the day she ate the pig rice, Li Fanghua pulled her to inquire about the character of the educated youth, obviously she had been planning for a long time.
Most of Li Fanghua's plots are related to Xu Chunsheng.
I just don't know the future livelihood of Xu Chunsheng who she is planning, or Xu Chunsheng's marriage?
Wang Qian subconsciously lowered her head and wrung her fingers to play, "Our group of educated youths who went to the countryside, have no money, no power, no diligence, no division of grains, what is she trying to do?" ”
"What's the picture? Tu people! Otherwise, why didn't she invite the male intellectuals together? Li Xiuzhu spoke very directly.
Wang Qian raised her head suddenly, her eyes widened, "Xiu, Xiuzhu...... You mean? Does she think that way about us? ”
"I think it's very possible," Li Xiuzhu asked again: "Huanhuan, how many sons does that Li Fanghua have?" Are they all married? ”
"She has two sons in her family, the eldest son is named Xu Chunsheng, estimated to be about twenty years old, and the second Xu Xiamiao is only seventeen years old! None married! Duan Huan replied with a clear look.
"I just said that the food is so expensive now, and it turns out that it really has a purpose to invite us to eat so kindly!" Li Xiuzhu smiled disappretently.
Wang Qian's face turned a little pale, grabbed Li Xiuzhu's hand and said in a panic: "Xiuzhu! So what do we do? ”
"You don't have to worry so much, we don't take advantage of her, and she doesn't want to beat us!" Li Xiuzhu patted Wang Qian's hand.
Grandpa Xu quickly cooked the noodles, the noodles were rolled out and put away in the morning, and it didn't take much time to just lay down the noodles.
He asked Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian to sit down and eat together, which made the two girls a little embarrassed.
The two of them came back with Huanhuan, just to avoid Li Fanghua's treat, and just now they said categorically not to take advantage of others.
But Grandpa Xu is indeed sincerely invited, and there is a qualitative difference between Li Fanghua's unique hospitality.
Now that the noodles are served, will they eat it or not?
"Let's all sit down and eat noodles! The noodles are already cooked, and if you two don't eat them, you won't be able to eat them tomorrow!" Grandpa Xu said.
Duan Huan hurriedly handed the chopsticks to the two of them, "Eat quickly, you go back now, other educated youths have also eaten, do you want to be hungry all night?" ”
Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian saw that their ancestors and grandchildren were sincere, so they sat down and took the chopsticks.
The noodles are my favorite belt noodles, rolled wide and thin, and even a little light is transmitted when you pick up a piece of noodles.
Thin-crusted noodles are not as chewy as thick ones, but they are more likely to get on with soup and cheeks, and they will taste better.
It is a fried bacon with celery, a very homely sauce, with noodles that are not rolled out of fine flour, and there is a back-to-basics taste.
Eating a bite of noodles and a pair of green and crispy pea tips with chopsticks, in the eyes of Huanhuan, this is the highest courtesy of eating noodles in winter.
Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian are both northerners, and they are also full of praise for this bowl of emerald green and tender pea tips.
After the two of them came to Sichuan Province, they found that there were so many green vegetables to eat in winter.
Unlike the north, which can only survive the winter on cabbage, radishes and potatoes, Sichuan Province is a whole new world.
Grandpa Xu is old and refined, and Li Fanghua's little caution can't escape his eyes at all.
He saw that Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian were both girls with good personalities, and told them a few words:
Although this is a small matter, Li Fanghua can't make any big waves. But the heart of defense is indispensable, you are all female dolls, you should be extra cautious,
Pay attention not to be alone, if there is anything that cannot be solved, you must go to the village party secretary in time, or you can come to me. ”
Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu was better, she had been standing alone for a long time, and she was also used to being strong, so it would be okay to nod and thank Grandpa Xu.
But Wang Qian is obviously a sensual girl, and she feels that Grandpa Xu is like an elder in the family.
The warm advice made her eyes red all of a sudden, and she thanked her with a trembling voice.
"Master Xu, thank you for your care, I will remember it!"
Grandpa Xu sent Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian back to Zhiqing Point with a flashlight, Wu Xiaoyan returned earlier than both of them, and said ostentatiously when she saw the two come back:
"I see the two of you, you just want to die to save face, Aunt Fanghua really made a table of good dishes tonight, the taste is really good, you can't lose a lot if you don't go!"
Li Xiuzhu said with a cold expression, "Be careful that delicious dish on that table, it's someone who has conquered your sugar-coated cannonball!" ”
Originally, Li Xiuzhu also reminded Wu Xiaoyan in friendship because everyone was an educated youth who went to the countryside together, and she didn't want Wu Xiaoyan to suffer.
After all, if something bad really happens, it will affect the reputation of everyone in the educated youth point, especially her and Wang Qian.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Wu Xiaoyan thought that Li Xiuzhu was mocking her, so she immediately exploded:
"Li Xiuzhu! You are only allowed to set fires, and I can't even light a lamp?
You can eat and drink with Xu Duhuan's family, I went to Aunt Fanghua's house as a guest, why was I tempted by sugar-coated shells? ”
Wang Qian hurriedly persuaded: "Xiaoyan, Xiuzhu didn't mean that, it was ......"
"She didn't mean that, what did she mean, I don't think you're a good product, you just want to sing and squeeze me with Li Xiuzhu, right?" Wu Xiaoyan directly pushed Wang Qian away.
Li Xiuzhu hurriedly supported Wang Qian, who was about to fall, and said with a calm expression:
"Comrade Wu Xiaoyan, if you think what I just said hurt you, I apologize to you, I'm sorry! But please don't involve the innocent, Wang Qian didn't provoke you! ”
"Yo yo yo! Look at what you can! What kind of big cloves of garlic are there? Wu Xiaoyan saw Li Xiuzhu apologize, and her arrogance became higher and higher.
Wang Qian frowned, "Xiaoyan, everyone is a revolutionary comrade, even if Xiuzhu is wrong, she apologizes to you, let's turn the page on this matter, don't you think?" ”
"Nope! Yes! Why? You two are trying to bully me? I tell you, don't talk about the door, not even the window! Wu Xiaoyan shouted loudly.
Lu Xiao was washing his feet and didn't bother to wipe them, and a pair of wet clogs and cotton shoes ran over:
"What's going on? What can't be said well! Yelling so loudly? Are you going to invite the whole village to see the joke? ”
Wu Xiaoyan was taken aback, and Lu Xiao's roar was like pouring rain, instantly extinguishing her burning anger, and after a second of intimidation, she immediately became an aggrieved baby.
"It's not Li Xiuzhu and Wang Qian, the two of them are singing and harmonizing with me!"
"Li Xiuzhu, Wang Qian, what do you two say!" Lu Xiao is not a person who listens to one-sided words, and immediately asks the other two parties.
Li Xiuzhu didn't speak, and Wang Qian told the matter as it was.
Lu Xiao is also well-educated, and now he is the captain of the educated youth, otherwise he would have rolled his eyes like Gao Peng who came over.
I thought it was a big deal, Li Xiuzhu didn't speak well, but she apologized with a good attitude, and Wu Xiaoyan didn't give up but fell behind.
Lu Xiao's mediation method was that each side played fifty boards, although Wu Xiaoyan muttered, and this matter was over.
