Chapter Twenty-Three: You Are Still Thinking About Brother Zhicheng
Su Xiaoman also thought that Zhang Xiuqin had changed her temperament, and now she saw that she had something to ask for, no wonder she was smiling and sending seeds, and she secretly despised it in her heart.
"Auntie, I have other things to do in the past two days, I'm afraid I don't have time to help you embroider a handkerchief, otherwise" Su Xiaoman blinked, wondering: "You're still looking for someone else, right?" ”
Handkerchief, when you say kiss, the other party doesn't look at whether your handkerchief looks good or not, and it doesn't matter if you think about it.
But who knew that Zhang Xiuqin's face changed immediately, and Su Xiaoman was lustful as if she owed her silver, "It's just a small handkerchief, and you can't finish embroidering it in a day?" What can be more important than my sister saying that she is married? ”
Heh, now I know that Su Xiaoling is my sister, but she doesn't seem to think of herself as a sister, right?
When Lu Li's face, Su Xiaoman didn't poke it, but still gave the other party a little face, "Auntie, I really don't have time, otherwise you can go to the city to buy a piece, and Xiaoling won't care if you want to." ”
"What do I buy!" Zhang Xiuqin suddenly became angry, "Anyway, I'll get it tomorrow, you have to embroider it for me!" ”
She had already heard that Su Xiaoman's embroidered handkerchief was sold for a lot of money in the city, and when she came back, the burden was bulging, and she must have made a lot of money!
Zhang Xiuqin didn't believe it yet, and thought that it was rumored by people outside, how much could Su Xiaoman's little girl's embroidery be sold? As a result, I went home and told Xiaoling, Xiaoling said that she saw the embroidery thread at Su Xiaoman's house, and Zhang Xiuqin took it seriously.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiuqin's eyes staring at Su Xiaoman became more and more unkind, as if she was going to swallow her life alive.
And Su Xiaoman sighed, "Auntie, it's really not that I don't embroider for you, but I really don't have time." Seeing that winter is coming, our family's dishes have not yet landed, Lu Li and I are busy from morning to dark every day, where do we have time to embroider handkerchiefs. ”
"Hmph," Zhang Xiuqin snorted coldly, deliberately picking a shrill voice to sarcastically: "Yes, you have time to embroider handkerchiefs to make money, but you don't have time to embroider a handkerchief for our Xiaoling." ”
Su Xiaoman was stunned, how did she know that she was selling embroidered handkerchiefs in the city?
"Aunt Zhang." Lu Li, who was on the side, couldn't stand it, and stood up and said a few words for Xiaoman, "I'm a foreigner who doesn't understand your customs here, I want to ask, does embroidered handkerchiefs have anything to do with kissing?" ”
When asked this, Su Xiaoman was also suspicious, and echoed: "Yes, auntie, why haven't I heard that you still have to bring a handkerchief?" This is not a big family picking a girl, how can you still see if the embroidery can work? ”
Zhang Xiuqin's face turned red, and she muttered for a long time and didn't make it clear.
It seems that it is not certain whether this handkerchief is going to be given to Su Xiaoling.
"Auntie, is this handkerchief really going to be used by Xiaoling personally?" Su Xiaoman clasped his hands around his chest and stared at Zhang Xiuqin with Lu Li.
Even though Zhang Xiuqin is blushing, she has a lot of confidence in lying, "Isn't it, Xiaoling should meet with someone tomorrow, and I will send you this veil!" Aren't you okay now? Hurry up and embroider! ”
Su Xiaoman was determined not to embroider for her, "I don't have that time, you can find someone else, or buy a piece directly, I can't embroider it in a day." ”
"Then the day after tomorrow, you can always embroider the day after tomorrow, okay?"
She smiled slightly, "Auntie, didn't you say that Xiaoling should meet that person tomorrow?" ”
Zhang Xiuqin, who was choked on a word, couldn't say half a word, she muttered for a long time, and she didn't make up a reason for when.
"Auntie, Xiaoman and I still have to go to the forest." Lu Li said coldly, "If there is nothing else, please go back." ”
Zhang Xiuqin glanced at Su Xiaoman again, with resentment in her eyes, "Raising you for nothing, this little white-eyed wolf, pretending to be stupid and stunned at a critical time, something without conscience!" ”
Lu Li suddenly raised his voice, "Aunt Zhang, do you think that the ground that has just rained is soft, and it doesn't matter if you fall, right?" ”
As soon as she said this, Zhang Xiuqin suddenly remembered the scene when Lu Li knocked herself down with only one stone that day, her face turned pale, and she turned around and ran away.
It wasn't until Zhang Xiuqin walked away that Su Xiaoman pouted and muttered, "How did she know that I was selling embroidery in the city?" Baba must have come up and sold my veil! ”
Lu Li couldn't help but look at her sideways, the corners of her mouth curled up a small arc, this little girl's mind was very clear.
"That's right," Su Xiaoman seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes were shining, "It's just rained, there must be a lot of mushrooms in the forest, I'll pick some." ”
Fortunately, they lived on the mountainside, and they must have arrived earlier than the others, and if they couldn't finish picking too much, they could dry it and put it away.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoman suddenly felt that his whole person was much lighter.
"I'll go with you." Lu Li picked up the bamboo basket and said in a deep voice, "There are many traps in the forest, so that you don't fall down and can't get up." ”
Su Xiaoman nodded obediently and entered the forest with Lu Li.
As Su Xiaoman said, there are a lot of mushrooms in the forest that has just rained, and clusters are crowded under the roots of the trees, which are very cute and round.
As the saying goes, relying on the mountain eats the mountain, Su Xiaoman has followed his father up the mountain to pick mushrooms since he was a child, so he naturally knows what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten, and Lu Li is also very clear about these things because he has been stationed in the army all year round.
The two tacitly ignored the brightly colored poisonous mushrooms, carefully picked all the edible mushrooms and put them in the bamboo basket, and at the end, Su Xiaoman also covered the place where the mushrooms had been picked with pine needles.
Lu Li was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" ”
"The forest is so big, that's all there is to grow mushrooms every time, I've built it now, and I can come here next time to pick them, otherwise this place won't grow mushrooms if it's broken." Su Xiaoman lowered his head, pulled the yellow pine needles with his delicate little hands, and covered all the places where the mushrooms had been picked one by one.
Looking at the delicate and white fingers playing with the pine needles, Lu Li felt a little distressed for no reason, and then later, he took over the job directly, and Su Xiaoman was also happy.
The two of them picked as they walked, and after a while, they filled most of the bamboo baskets.
"That's enough, right, or we'll go back first?" Lu Li checked the weight of the bamboo basket and asked Su Xiaoman's opinion.
The woman crossed her feet and looked inside, shaking her head, "It's okay, I'm not tired anyway, let's continue to pick a little more, let's dry it and save it for winter." ”
Lu Li nodded, "Listen to the lady." ”
Lu Li's voice was low and deep, and a "lady" made Su Xiaoman's face red, she lowered her head and stared at her toes and said a soft "um".
I don't know what's going on with her, the two have been married for so long, why is she still so sensitive to these two words.
Speaking of which, Lu Li sometimes calls her Xiaoman, and sometimes calls her a lady directly, and she calls Lu Li every time. Doesn't that seem too raw?
Thinking about things in her heart, Su Xiaoman just walked forward with her head down, and if she wasn't careful, she directly bumped into the bamboo basket on Lu Li's back.
"Ouch!"
Su Xiaoman frowned and covered his nose, looked at Lu Li who turned around with teary eyes, and complained aggrievedly: "Why did you stop suddenly, I hurt so much from this bamboo basket." ”
If it was empty, it would be enough, but it happened that there were so many things in it, Su Xiaoman hit it solidly, and he burst into tears in the moment of natural pain.
"I'll see." Lu Li was rarely serious, he couldn't refuse to take away Su Xiaoman's hand covering his nose, and looked carefully to make sure it was okay, before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Does it still hurt?" Lu Li leaned over and asked.
A handsome face was suddenly so close to Su Xiaoman, her face flushed uncontrollably, and she forgot all about the pain in her nose, she was busy turning her head away, and her voice was like a mosquito fly: "No, it doesn't hurt." ”
Lu Li got up, "That's good, let's move on." ”
After a while, the weather became gloomy again, and the two of them hurried back for fear that they would be trapped in the mountains by heavy rain.
But I don't want to accidentally bump into someone on the road.
"Who should I be, isn't this Xiaoman?" Li Xin sneered and intercepted the way between the two, and said sourly: "Didn't you sell handkerchiefs in the city and sell them for a lot of money, why did you still go to pick mushrooms?" So if you have money, wouldn't it be nice to go to the bazaar and sell mushrooms yourself, what are you going to do with our rations? ”
Lu Li adjusted his back basket, and said coldly without waiting for Su Xiaoman to speak: "I don't move you if you are a pregnant woman, but if you bully Xiaoman like this again, don't blame me for breaking Liu Zhicheng's other leg!" ”
Lu Li is tall and powerful, and his cold stare at Li Xinjiang has scared her enough, not to mention warning her with such a threatening meaning.
But Li Xin didn't know what happened today, the more Lu Li said this, the more she wanted to move forward, as if she deliberately provoked Lu Li to beat her.
Su Xiaoman tugged on Lu Li's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go back quickly, otherwise it will rain in a while." ”
The other party is a pregnant woman, she doesn't dare to fight back no matter what, in case she moves the fetal gas and causes Li Xin to slip the fetus, then there is no way to make amends.
Presumably Lu Li was also thinking about this, so no matter how irritated Li Xin was, he didn't move a bit, but took a few steps back as Li Xin kept getting closer.
But the more this happened, the more Li Xin leaned forward, and continued to stimulate the two of them as he walked forward, "Su Xiaoman, aren't you a very capable man?" You're not angry when I say that about you? You're not going to let him hit me? ”
"Isn't it," Li Xin suddenly stopped and smiled, "Are you still worried about Brother Zhicheng, so you don't dare to let your man touch me, for fear that something will happen to me and make Brother Zhicheng angry, right?" ”
"That's right, what I have in my belly is Brother Zhicheng's child, in case something happens to the two of you, Brother Zhicheng will definitely fight with you. Even if you had a good relationship with Brother Zhicheng for two or three days before, he would never care about these things and spare you. ”
After speaking, she touched her stomach and smiled proudly at Su Xiaoman.
On the other hand, Su Xiaoman's face had already turned pale, and she tugged on Lu Li's sleeve stubbornly, trembling with anger.
