Chapter 14: Into the Mountains 2
After Xia He moved out of Liu's house, the neighbor Aunt Zhang went to Liu's house to intercede for Xia He, trying to pick up Xia He from Liu's family, but she ran into a gray nose, and blamed Aunt Zhang for being nosy.
In desperation, Aunt Zhang left Liu's house.
After Aunt Zhang left, Liu Li coaxed her daughter while eating: "Didn't you just say you, you eat quickly, Bao." As he spoke, he put vegetables into Qiaofeng's bowl.
There is only one girl in the family, Liu Li regards the old girl as a treasure, and the ordinary Zhuang family Liu Li really looks down on it, so he has no in-laws when he is so old.
Hearing what her mother said, Qiao Feng wiped away her tears and said: "I also see my sister-in-law alone outside, it's pitiful, we can't do things too much, others will laugh at our Liu family!" ”
"What's the joke, she was born as a maid and can starve to death outside, let's eat!" Master Liu coughed and said.
Calm returned to the table, only the sound of chewing rice could be heard, and no one dared to speak anymore.
When Liu Feng was looking for someone to dig medicinal herbs in the village, he was known by Er Laizi, and Er Laizi begged Liu Feng and said, "Liu Gongzi, can you count me as one?" I will definitely work with everyone in the mountains this time, and I will no longer be lazy. ”
Er Laizi is a lazy man known to women and children in Liuzhuang, and the poor Jingdong does not go out to work, and does some stealing chickens and dogs every day, and Liu Feng will not believe him when he says flowers.
Liu Feng heard Er Laizi say this, and said with a straight face: "I've already found people, I can't use those people, let's have a chance in the future." ”
Er Laizi was very angry, and originally wanted to mix some wages with everyone, but this Liu Feng didn't give him this face, so he pouted and came all the way to Liu's house.
Seeing Liu Li's hippie smile, he said: "Don't you look at your sister-in-law, move out of your house and get in touch with Liu Feng inexplicably, no, the two of them have partnered to do business, don't look at it." When the time comes, put a little green hat on your dead brother, I see what you will do? ”
When Liu Li heard Er Laizi say this, he hurriedly stepped forward and slapped him in the face, shouting: "What rumors are you making all day long, I will kill you!" Xia He is no longer from our Liu family, she has nothing to do with our Liu family! Get out of here! ”
Seeing Liu Li beating himself, Er Laizi hurriedly dodged, and said while hiding: "You don't believe it, you go and ask others again, you never believe what I say, I said that your brother is dead, and you still don't believe it?" Is your brother dead? With that, he ran away quickly.
Liu Li is so angry, this second laizi, the dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth! didn't chase Erlaizi, standing in the courtyard and sulking at the back mountain.
At this time, Liu Li came out of the house, crossed his waist and scolded loudly: "I know that this little slut is restless, since she was picked up by the son of the Liu family, she seems to have changed as a person, if it weren't for his support behind her, would she be able to make such a fuss in our Liu family just because she was born as a maid?" ”
Liu Li said angrily: "She can do whatever she likes, anyway, it's not in our Liu family now, see how long she can make trouble?" I can't go on outside, and I have to come back and beg our Liu family! ”
With Er Laizi's mouth, almost half of the people in Liujiazhuang knew about Xia He going up the mountain to dig medicinal materials, and there were many people who wanted to go up the mountain to dig medicinal materials with Liu Feng.
Speaking of Xia He, he led a few people to dig medicinal herbs on the mountain.
When it was noon, they all took out the dry food they had brought and eaten.
Xia He ate in the morning, and there was no dry food at home to bring to the mountain, and he was used to being hungry and full in Liu's house over the years.
When everyone sat down for lunch, Xia He deliberately said that he was not hungry, so he ran to the nearby mountain spring water and drank some water.
Liu Feng sat on the side and took out two cakes and waited for Xia He to come over to eat together, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see Xia He coming, so he simply took the cake and came to Xia He.
When he saw Xia He sitting under the tree and eating wild fruits, Liu Feng couldn't help but feel sad, thinking that Xia He had really been too bitter all these years, he immediately walked up to Xia He and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Xia He, how do you eat this?" If you eat too much, your stomach will not be able to stand it, come, I brought two cakes, one for each of us, eat quickly, I put it in my pocket and it is not cold.! As he spoke, he handed the cake to Xia He.
Xia He said embarrassedly: "I'm really not hungry, you are a big man who eats a lot, so you should eat." "Reach out and push it off.
When Xia He saw this cake, he remembered that Liu Li was in the Liu family, and he couldn't help but feel very uncomfortable.
Liu Feng pulled Xia He's hand and forced the cake to her, and then Xia He had to take it, thinking: Liu Feng can't be like the two villains of the Liu family, eat it.
While eating Xia He, he praised the cake for its deliciousness.
"Well, this is made by my old mother, if you like to eat, I will ask my mother to make more for you until you have eaten enough." After speaking, Liu Feng looked at Xia He with his eyes and grinned innocently.
Xia He looked at Liu Feng, his eyebrows were clear, especially his white teeth and amiable smile, no matter how he looked at it, it was so pleasing to the eye. I couldn't help blushing, looked down at my shoes with my toes exposed, and stopped talking.
Liu Feng also felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Everyone is very hard, and we have dug up a lot of medicinal materials in the morning, and if we continue like this, we will be able to hand them over to the old shopkeeper in advance." ”
"Great! I didn't expect that there would be so many medicinal herbs on this mountain, you must know that in this way, it would be good to sign more, so that everyone can earn more. Xia He said.
Liu Feng swallowed a bite of cake, felt choked, patted his chest and said, "This, we can't be greedy at first, take your time." And this medicinal herb is always wild, and there will always be a time to dig it up. As he spoke, he got up and went to the spring to drink some water, and then took the leaves to Xia He and brought back a little water, handed it to Xia He's mouth and hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Xia He, drink it quickly, it's quite dry just to eat cakes." ”
Xia He hurriedly got up, took the leaves and drank all the water.
Liu Feng's move, Xia He remembered that when Shunzi was there, he took Xia He up the mountain to play when he was slack, Xia He was thirsty, and Shunzi also used the leaves to carry water for Xia He to drink quickly, this scene seemed to happen yesterday.
Now, only he is alone, and the Liu family still treats himself like this, and he can't help but feel sad, and tears are falling.
Seeing Xia He crying, Liu Feng was at a loss, he didn't know what was wrong with Xia He, he wanted to wipe his tears for Xia He, and he was afraid that men and women would not be able to accept Xia He's misunderstanding of himself, so he hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, don't cry!" What's wrong, are you tired? ”
"No, I think of when you were here, Brother Shunzi was really good to me, who knew that he would leave me like this!" As he spoke, he squatted on the ground again, hugged his head and cried.
Liu Feng looked at Xia He's crying bitterly, and his heart ached like a knife.
looked at the poor woman in front of him distressedly.
