Chapter 20: Fattening

"Brother Wang, since I have rescued people, then I will go back first."

Sun Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that Lu Li, who was still dressed in black, was standing next to him.

He was only concerned about reprimanding Wang Wu, but he didn't notice that there was still a person standing on the side, too, if there was no Lu Li, how could Wang Wu know that he had fallen into the pit.

"Hey, go back quickly, I'm bothering you today!" Wang Wu didn't notice his daughter-in-law's thoughts, and thanked Lu Li stupidly.

Lu Li nodded, turned around and walked away.

There are many people in the village who are hostile to Xiao Man, and he will have to be more careful in the future, and he can't leave her for half a moment, otherwise he doesn't know what will happen next time.

Thinking secretly, Lu Li's steps under his feet became faster and faster.

The sun was about to set, the wind around was blowing, and Su Xiaoman, who was standing at the door and waiting for someone, wrapped his clothes tightly, but he still couldn't help but shiver.

When Lu Li came back, he saw this scene, and he stepped forward with a displeased frown.

"Why are you waiting here? Come into the house, I'll cook, and I'll call you when the meal is ready. Lu Li pushed Su Xiaoman into the house, and he instructed beyond doubt.

Su Xiaoman shyly removed his hand, "The rice is ready, it's heating in the pot, just waiting for you to come back to eat." ”

Time was in a hurry, and she didn't have time to boil porridge, so she only cut the leftover cakes in the morning into thin shreds, boiled the pot with the wild onions she picked up, and then added the shredded cakes and wild vegetables to fry them together.

There are also wild eggs that she put away a few days ago, she made egg soup, and put them all in a clay pot, put them on the grate of the cauldron and heated them, waiting for Lu Li to come back.

The two closed the door, and ate a hot meal by the dim candlelight, and their whole bodies warmed up.

Because of Sun Xiu's delay, the two didn't do anything for a day, the weather gradually cooled down, and Su Xiaoman still thought that he could put some vegetables before the winter, and the matter of the vegetable garden had to be done as soon as possible.

The day after tomorrow, I will go to the Tianyi Pavilion in the city to see if those handkerchiefs have been sold, and when I think of the full arrangements in the future, Su Xiaoman is happy and a little tired.

The days finally have hope.

"By the way, Xiaoman," Lu Li was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with you and Sun Xiu today, why did she chase you for no reason, did you have any previous holidays?" ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Su Xiaoman was also full of doubts.

Sun Xiu was married by someone from the village next to her, she had only seen her once when she was looking for wild vegetables before, and Sun Xiu at that time also made a few sarcastic remarks about Su Xiaoman, but she didn't pay attention to it at the time.

Thinking about it now, Sun Xiu was full of hostility towards herself at that time, and she would not offend her that time.

Therefore, Su Xiaoman shook his head, "I don't know, she just married into our village, I haven't seen her before, and where is the chance to offend her." ”

Seeing Su Xiaoman's frowning appearance, Lu Li stepped forward and patted her on the back and comforted: "Don't think about it, let's stay away in the future, she can't bully you anymore." ”

Su Xiaoman nodded obediently.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li said, "But if she speaks disrespectfully again, you must tell me that I will not let anyone bully you." ”

The promise is very simple, and it sounds a little crude, but Su Xiaoman knows that since the man has spoken it, he will definitely do it.

The two were tired for a day, and after talking in bed for a while, Su Xiaoman couldn't support it, Lu Qi hurt her, and hurriedly blew out the lamp to let her sleep.

The next day, Lu Li got up and dressed lightly, but he didn't expect to wake up Su Xiaoman.

"Uh, Lu Li......" Su Xiaoman stretched his waist with half-squinted eyes, and said angrily: "Are you going to get up?" ”

Su Xiaoman, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was particularly cute, she shrunk in the quilt softly, revealing only a white and tender little face, and there were red marks pressed out of sleep on her face.

Lu Xuan's bottom softened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also a little softer, "I'll clean up the vegetable garden today, and then make a fence wall, you can sleep in peace, and I'll call you when I have dinner." ”

"No, I've got to get out of bed too." Su Xiaoman is not the person who loves to lie in bed, and now that she is married to a wife, she can no longer lie in bed.

As she spoke, she propped herself up and got dressed, picked up the wooden hairpin and pulled her hair into a woman's bun at will, washed her face and went out with Lu Li.

The mountains in late autumn were getting colder and colder day by day, and Su Xiaoman sneezed as soon as she walked out of the door, she rubbed her nose indifferently and kept up with Lu Li's footsteps.

Looking at the clean and bare ground outside the house, Su Xiaoman looked around, occasionally looking up at the sky, looking very serious.

When she was in the Su family before, because Zhang Xiuqin cherished her own daughter, Su Xiaoman and her father were busy with the farm work at home, and she learned a lot from her father in the past few years.

Looking at the tall trees beside the house, Su Xiaoman couldn't help but shake his head, pointed to the ground next to him and said, "In the summer, there will definitely be shade here, and the vegetables that grow here can't shine in the sun, so naturally they don't want to grow well." So let's leave this piece for now, and let's go clean up the rest of the place. ”

Lu Li glanced back at her and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all up to the lady." ”

Su Xiaoman's face turned red, and he retracted his hand shyly pointing at the vegetable field, and stood on the side with his head bowed and was embarrassed to answer.

The vegetable garden has been almost cleaned up by Lu Li, Lu Li and Su Xiaoman spent another half a day dividing the ridges, and worked together to carry a pile of fertilizer from the bottom of the mountain, and after carefully applying the fertilizer, it was already noon.

Su Xiaoman went to the house to boil water, and after it cooled down a little, he took it out, "Lu Li, rest for a while." ”

"Hmm." Lu Li patted the soil on his body, took the boiled water handed by the woman and drank two sips.

The two of them sat together on the stone next to the house, looking at the fruits of a morning's labor, no matter how tired they were, their hearts were also comfortable.

Especially Su Xiaoman, she looked at the neatly separated vegetable fields in front of her, and thought: "You can grow some radishes and cabbage here, and you need to plant some garlic and shallots here, by the way, you can plant some greens here while it's still early, and then we canβ€”β€”"

"Sister!"

A crisp sister interrupted Su Xiaoman's imagination, she followed the sound and saw Su Xiaoling and Su's father standing at the door, looking in with a smile.

The two people sitting on the ground hurriedly stood up, Lu Li stepped forward to support Su Qi, Su Xiaoman was happy to see his father, but it was a pity that there was still a Su Xiaoling beside him.

However, no matter how unhappy Su Xiaoman was in his heart, he still smiled and welcomed Su Xiaoling into the house.

It can be seen that Su Xiaoling has also been carefully dressed up today, with a pink dress and a headdress of the same color, plus the flowers she inserted in her sideburns, Su Xiaoling is becoming more and more delicate and cute.

"Sister, you're still doing well, the house you live in is big, and the bed is big," Su Xiaoling said slowly, "It's only been a few days, and you've gained a lot of weight." ”
