Chapter 219: Favorite
Sensible, filial piety and hard work. No child is better than her dog.
Wu Mian glanced at Li Jicai and didn't say anything. He didn't want to do anything to Li Jicai in front of his wife, so that his wife was worried.
Li Jicai was hidden in the dark, watching the interaction between the mother and son, she felt that Wu Mian's mother didn't look like a bad person, she was very simple and peaceful.
But past experience made Li Jicai understand that no individual can just look at the surface, it is better to be vigilant and adapt.
When it was time to enter the house, Li Jicai stood next to the door, not daring to trespass, she had been extremely careful in the days she had been with Wu Mian, and she did not dare to anger him. After all, she still wanted to escape from his men.
Wu Mian's eyelids lifted for a moment, and then he didn't say anything, he walked to the big table, there was a set of green and white tea sets on the boxy table, the blue teapot was smoking, there were five upside-down white porcelain cups around the teapot, and one had already been brought to half a cup of water, it was estimated that Wu Mian's mother had just poured it.
Wu Mian naturally reached out and poured himself a cup.
Li Jicai watched him drink water, licked his lips unconsciously, and looked at Wu Mian with some longing eyes.
But Wu Mian seems to be deliberate, and he doesn't look at Li Jicai.
Li Jicai is a little helpless, but at this moment she is also very thirsty, these days in the mountains, all kinds of messy things have been eaten, she really can't drink the water with the smell of earth by the stream, there is clean and clear tea in front of her now, can you not want to drink?
"This teacup is too small to look like it's too big to drink, why don't I go get a bowl?" Li Jicai's head twitched, and she said such an excuse in a daze, in fact, she also wanted to hint to Wu Mian that she also wanted to drink water.
However, when Wu Mian heard this, his face immediately burst into anger, and he stared coldly at Li Jicai, who was smiling awkwardly, and then said in a strange manner: "Why, only you high-class people deserve to drink a cup?" Inferior people only serve a bowl of ox drink? ”
Wu Mian has been in the capital for a long time, he has also been to a lot of those teahouses and wine shops, grew up in Chagouzi Village, Wu Mian has never had the habit of tasting tea, from childhood to adulthood, he has only been in the house of the most respected village chief in the village, and he has seen the village chief solemnly making tea, in addition, everyone is the same, they have never been to school, and they don't recognize the words.
As for drinking water, either holding the mountain spring in your hand, or splitting half of the gourd and scooping water to drink, or as Li Jicai said, take a bowl to drink.
Wu Mian's set of green and white tea sets was stolen by Wu Mian himself and brought back, about ninety percent new, and he hadn't used it much. Wu Mian liked it at first sight, and the baby was amazing, so he brought it back.
Li Jicai couldn't help but be stunned when he heard him say this, why did he get involved in the superior and inferior again? When did she mean that?
"No, you listen to me..." When Li Jicai was about to explain, Wu Mian's mother came in, holding an old wooden basin full of hot water.
Wu Mian ignored Li Jicai, and habitually stood up and wanted to walk to his wife's side, but he hadn't seen him for a long time, he felt that his wife was a little older again, and he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart.
"Come, girl, you're tired, wash up, go to the tired, I'll bring you clean clothes to change, the dog bought me a lot of clothes and materials, some haven't been worn yet, don't mind." Wu Mian and his wife laughed, and the wrinkles on her face could trap flies. The layers are like undulating hills, crumpled like the bark of a thousand-year-old tree.
Wu Mian glanced at his wife inexplicably, his eyes were undoubtedly questioning, why didn't he wash it first?
After putting the hot water basin on the table, Wu Mian and his wife took off the white handkerchief on his shoulder, and then gently put it in, watching the shriveled handkerchief gradually become full after being soaked in water.
Li Jicai was in a daze.
It wasn't until Wu Mian and his wife patted Wu Mian's arm, and then walked into the room, that Li Jicai came back to her senses, she was a little speechless, why is Wu Mian and his wife so good to herself?
The enthusiasm was a little excessive, which made Li Jicai a little flattered.
"My mother has a good heart." Wu Mian saw Li Jicai's appearance as if he had seen a ghost, and he was even more unhappy in his heart. His mother is so good, she still dares to dislike and doubt?
For Li Jicai, Wu Mian always has a sense of hostility.
Hearing Wu Mian's words, Li Jicai was a little speechless, she didn't say that his mother was bad, but her son was the one who kidnapped her, but her mother was very polite to her. Is this a family?
"By the way, your mother knows you..." When Li Jicai realized that what he said was a little inappropriate, the other party's fierce eyes had already shot over, full of warnings. Li Jicai hurriedly covered his mouth.
"You give me honesty, cover my mouth tightly, or I'll sew it up!" Wu Mian walked up to Li Jicai in three steps, and then deliberately lowered his voice and threatened.
Wu Mian breathed in her ear, "hissing" like a poisonous snake. Li Jicai couldn't help but shudder, although Wu Miansheng was short and concise, and his figure didn't look very suppressive, but for Li Jicai, the feeling of getting along with him was as unbearable as when he was by Jiang Li's side, and even disgusting.
"Got it." Li Jicai gave in, she lowered her eyelids, and said in a low voice. At this moment, she is not Wu Mian's opponent. If she showed something suspicious about resisting or even fleeing, she had no doubt that Wu Mian would kill her immediately.
She had seen Wu Mian's hunting skills, which were extremely fierce and terrifying, which did not match his appearance at all.
The bodies of the two people were very close, and Wu Mian and his wife, who came out of the house to find clothes, immediately smiled when they saw this scene. It turned out that her son's expression was so cold and serious when she was there, but when she was away,
Look at how these two match!
In the eyes of Wu Mian's mother, her son is a good child, but he has a wooden personality and doesn't like to talk.
She was very sad all day long, anxious about the Wu family's incense, lest it be broken. How can she explain to the people of the Wu family after she dies? Therefore, what Wu Mian and his wife are most looking forward to is that Wu Mian can bring her a daughter-in-law back.
And what she thought about day and night actually happened unexpectedly.
"Mother, don't be busy, I'll do it myself." Wu Mian turned his head to look at his mother, looked at himself with a look of relief, and secretly said something bad in his heart.
He knew that his wife had been looking forward to him marrying a wife and having children for a long time, and today he blamed him for not being thoughtful and not giving Li Jicai a suitable identity, but now he suddenly spoke, and he didn't know how to speak.
"Okay, I know, are you hungry? I'm going to get something to eat, wait, wait. Wu Mian and his wife agreed, but seeing that Li Jicai and Wu Mian were very tired on their faces, they thought that they might be tired and hungry, so they hurriedly ran to the kitchen to get food.
Wu Mian didn't stop his mother, of course, it was too late for him to stop it, usually his mother's movements were slow, but today somehow, it was extraordinarily sharp.
What's more, he was indeed hungry for a long time and hadn't eaten seriously, so he let his wife fetch food.
"Mother, what are you going to tell her?" Li Jicai also knew that her identity was embarrassing, but this was not something she could decide, because it was Wu Mian who brought her to this small mountain village, and if she had a choice, she wouldn't have come here, wouldn't she?
"My friend's wife, take care of me." Wu Mian was silent for a while and then said.
Although he knew that his wife would be very disappointed when he said this, it was true that he and Li Jicai were not what she thought.
Wu Mian and his wife brought the leftover porridge from the pot stove, spread a few more cakes, made noodles, and beat two more eggs.
The old hen at home laid a lot of eggs, and she was reluctant to eat them, some of them were given away, and some were prepared at home, thinking about when Wu Mian would come back.
It is equivalent to what the family treasures on weekdays, and what she is reluctant to eat, and she takes it out together.
Fortunately, the family is quite rich, and she carefully collects the money that Wu Mian brought back, and she is ready to use it for Wu Mian to marry his daughter-in-law.
"Come on, let's eat!" Just when Wu Mian and his wife were in the pot stove and getting some food, Li Jicai had already entered the back room with a hot water basin. washed his whole body, and then changed into clean clothes brought by his uncrowned wife, fortunately, the difference in size between the two was not particularly large, and the clothes on Li Jicai's body were barely enough.
After Li Jicai got it done, Wu Mian went to refresh himself with hot water.
After some washing and fiddling, it was already the middle of the night, and the three of them sat at the table, Wu Mian and his wife watched Wu Mian and Li Jicai eat with a smile on their faces.
"Look, look at you are hungry, why didn't you say it when you came back, I forgot it." Wu Mian said with some complaints.
Wu Mian and Li Jicai glanced at each other, but neither of them said a word.
The more Wu Mian and his wife looked at Li Jicai, the more satisfied they became. The burning gaze made Li Jicai have an inexplicable feeling like a weighed pig, and his value was evaluated. Li Jicai felt extremely awkward.
And the next words shocked her even more.
"When are you going to get married?" Wu Mian asked with a smile, as if she didn't feel how frightened others were by the words she asked.
Wu Mian even squirted out the porridge he ate in his mouth, what did his wife think? Li Jicai was even more choked and speechless, turned his head to the ground and coughed violently.
"Mother, what are you talking nonsense? She's not. Wu Mian waved his hand and denied it to his wife.
Wu Mian and his mother obviously didn't believe it, and pretended to be annoyed at him and said: "What are you talking nonsense, my mother is as clear as a mirror in her heart, I think this girl is very good, you can't be irresponsible." ”
In the middle of the night, her son brought the girl home, and if she had to say nothing, how could she believe it?
