Chapter 38: Stealing Food

Su Xiaoman didn't care about arguing with Zhang Xiuqin anymore, she hurriedly threw down the tape measure and ran to the side of the kang, frowning and asking distressedly: "Dad!" What's wrong with you?! ”

It was fine a few days ago, but now it's like this, what has happened these days?!

"It's okay, I'm fine." Su Qi twisted his eyebrows, but he still pulled out a very reluctant and ugly smile, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, but he was still trying to comfort Su Xiaoman.

She was distressed and sad, and a little angry.

Lu Li frowned, he carefully lifted Su Qi's quilt, and Su Qi's injuries were completely exposed.

I saw that Su Qi's left thigh was wrapped with thick gauze, but even if it was wrapped so thickly, there were still spots of blood on the gauze.

and Su Qi's right calf, two planks are tied with ropes, probably because the calf is broken, so it will be fixed in this way, so that the bones can recover normally.

Seeing this, Xiaoman's heart twitched and hurt, "Dad, what's going on?" Have you seen the doctor, what does the doctor say? ”

Su Qi is Xiaoman's only relative, if he is also ......

Xiao Man didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she bit her lip tightly, and looked at Su Qi with a pair of eyes full of tears, and was very anxious, "Dad, you are talking!"

Seeing that Su Qi kept his head down and didn't speak, Su Xiaoman hurriedly turned around and asked Zhang Xiuqin, "What the hell is going on, something so big?" Why didn't you tell me? ”

Zhang Xiuqin crossed her hands on her hips and rolled her eyes, "You think I don't want to tell you?" I told you, the cost of this medicine can still make you pay! It's not because of your father, I'm afraid that you won't tell you if you're worried! ”

Su Qi was not allowed to move the silver sent back by Xiaoman last time, and the only little money left in the family was given to Su Qi to see the doctor, Zhang Xiuqin was still dissatisfied, but who let Su Qi kill Zhang Xiuqin would not let Zhang Xiuqin open her mouth, and said that if she dared to say it, she would divorce her, in this case, Zhang Xiuqin could only keep silent.

Besides, this injury was originally because Su Xiaoling was clamoring for a dressing box, so Su Qicai went to the mountain to cut wood, but he didn't want to accidentally scratch his leg, and when he got up, he accidentally fell, so both legs were injured.

Su Xiaoling is to blame for this matter, if Su Xiaoman knows about it, he will definitely make trouble again, thinking about it, Zhang Xiuqin agreed to help Su Qi cover up.

Looking at Zhang Xiuqin's angry appearance, it didn't seem like she was weak-hearted, Su Xiaoman reluctantly believed her.

She asked again: "Dad, you can also say something, save me worry!" ”

Lu Li also said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, what is going on, you speak slowly." ”

The two persuaded each other, Su Qi sighed in a low voice, and finally opened his mouth: "Xiaoman, I'm really fine, it's just that I accidentally fell, I've already seen the doctor, this wound was bandaged by the doctor, and I took medicine, it's really fine." ”

"Really?" Xiaoman is still a little worried.

Dad didn't tell himself about such a big thing, Xiaoman pinched the corners of his clothes, and thought: Even if he can't serve left and right, then he can make a contribution, why doesn't Dad tell himself?

Su Qi smiled, "Look, I was just afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you." ”

Saying that, Su Qi supported half of his body with Lu Li's support, his face was pale, but he still held on to his spirit and smiled: "I'm really fine, Xiaoman, didn't you say you wanted to make clothes for me?" Let's measure the size first, do you think it's okay? ”

Su Xiaoman reluctantly picked up the tape measure and reluctantly revealed the matter.

After measuring the size, Xiao Man looked at Su Qi's wound uneasily, and couldn't help asking: "Which doctor is this looking for, otherwise we will go to Dr. Yang to take a look, I will rest assured." ”

"This is what Dr. Yang is looking for, Xiaoman, you can rest assured, Dr. Yang said that this is just a skin injury, and this calf, it will definitely be fine before the beginning of spring." Su Qile smiled, very optimistic.

Xiao Man sighed, "I hope so." ”

The father and daughter talked and laughed for a while, Xiao Man was sure that Su Qi was really fine, and at noon, Zhang Xiuqin said that she wanted to keep them for dinner, Xiao Man also knew that it was just a polite word, so he didn't agree, and after politely refusing, he returned home with Lu Li.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break your muscles and bones, and Su Qi was injured in both legs, and it seems that he will not be able to get better until the Chinese New Year.

If she is still at home, she can still help her father do something, but now that she is married to a wife, only Zhang Xiuqin and Su Xiaoling are left in the family, Su Xiaoman thought about it and sighed, "This is the first time I am not at home for the New Year." ”

"Then we'll go to your house for the New Year this year." Lu Li said casually.

"That's not going to work!" Xiao Man hurriedly retorted, "If the people in the village know about it, they will definitely laugh at you and me, the water spilled by the married daughter, where is the reason for the married person to return to his parents' house for the New Year." ”

No matter how much she wants to go home, she just thinks about it, and she is living a good life with Lu Li now, always thinking about these things will inevitably make Lu Li unable to leave her heart.

Although Su Xiaoman knew that Lu Li didn't care about these, if it was a long time, he would inevitably have a pimple in his heart.

Thinking about it, Su Xiaoman turned around and explained to Lu Li seriously: "I just said casually, don't take it to heart, I'm fine here, I'm just worried about my father'......"

"I know." Lu Liyi grabbed her hand, looked at her quietly with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Xiaoman, as long as you can be happy, I don't care about this." ”

Xiao Man's face flushed, and she subconsciously wanted to break free of the man's hand, but somehow, Lu Li's grip became tighter and tighter, and the hot hand wrapped tightly around Xiao Man's hand, and she felt that her cheeks were getting hotter and hotter.

"Bang-"

There was a sudden loud noise outside the house, Lu Lideng's face changed, he quickly got up and took the bow and arrow on the side, and rushed out of the door directly.

And then Xiao Man, who reacted, also rushed out, looking at the scene in front of her, she froze in place in shock, her eyes widened.

I saw a swarthy wild boar just outside the yard, and when it heard the movement, it turned around, and just in time to see the large piece of meat in its mouth, and the color of the meat looked like the meat of the wild wolf that Lu Li had brought back not long ago.

"Xiaoman is back!" Lu Li let out a low snort, and then aimed at the wild boar and pulled out his bow and arrow.

The sharp arrow flew out with a "boom" and stuck straight into the leg of the wild boar who was about to escape, and he wailed, but had no intention of stopping.

"Whoa—"

Another arrow, this time stuck in the boar's head, it threw its head back and roared, and the next second it fell to the ground, never to get up again.

Lu Li put away his bow and arrows, walked to Xiao Man's side and patted her on the back, "It's okay, you go into the house first, and I'll go clean up this stolen wild boar." ”

Xiao Man nodded obediently and hurriedly entered the house.

Wild boars generally operate in the depths of the forest, and rarely run outside, let alone run to the halfway up the mountain where Lu Li lives, looking at the meat in the wild boar's mouth, Lu Li secretly thought: Xu was the sudden heavy snowfall a few days ago, so that the wild boar had no food to hunt, so he had to run halfway up the mountain to steal meat.

It's just a coincidence that this pig met Lu Li.

Lu Li took some effort to drag the wild boar back to the yard, and it took half a day to slaughter it, during which Xiao Man also came out to help, and the two of them were enough to chop the meat of the wild boar and hang it in the firewood room before dark.

In order to prevent other beasts from coming to the house to steal and eat next time, Xiao Man looked at the meat piled up in the firewood room and thought to himself: It seems that this meat must be stored as soon as possible.

Whether it is made into bacon or sausage, or directly marinated, in short, it must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise even if it is not stolen by wild beasts, it will become moldy and spoiled over time.

There are also turnips, cabbage, and a few long beans on the other side of the firewood house, which must also be disposed of as soon as possible.

While it was still early, the husband and wife were busy in the firewood room, Lu Li was cooking dinner, and Xiaoman was adding star anise, bay leaves and other seasonings to a large pot of water, preparing to use these water to pickle vegetables.

Lu Li made the noodles under Xiao Man's command, then rolled them into thin slices and cut them into strips, and after the water in the other pot boiled, he directly rolled the noodles by hand into the pot.

"Okay, let me do the rest, Lu Li, you've worked hard all afternoon, let's go to the house to rest first." Xiaoman rolled up his sleeves and was full of energy.

Lu Li pressed her arm, "It's okay, just watch from the side, I'll do it myself." ”

The women in the village all said that cooking and washing dishes are things that women should do, and since they are married to women, they should take care of all these household chores, and if they don't do it well, the men will definitely think that this woman is too lazy.

In some people, even if the man in charge of the family doesn't say it, the in-laws will secretly complain that the daughter-in-law is too lazy.

Can.....

Xiaoman looked at Lu Li, who was skilled in cooking, and felt a little reluctant in his heart, even if he was not supervised by his in-laws, he didn't seem to be too relaxed.

Lu Li didn't know how many things she should have done on weekdays, would he also complain about himself secretly?

Xiaoman likes to think about some messy things when she is free, especially when she looks at Lu Li working without saying a word, she always thinks in her heart, will Lu Li complain in her heart that this daughter-in-law is too lazy at this time?

"Lu Li," Xiao Man couldn't help but speak.

Lu Li, who was stirring the noodles, didn't look back, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Xiaoman swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously: "Do you think I'm too lazy, or do you think that the food I cook is not delicious, so I ......?"

She didn't have the courage to continue, Su Xiaoman lowered her head and bit her lip.

Lu Li, who was asked, frowned, he got up and looked up, looking at Su Xiaoman, who was speechless, angry and funny, but it was such a trivial matter, how could she think of it so much?

Seeing that the noodles were almost cooked, Lu Li hurriedly took out a porcelain basin filled with cold water on the side, and he picked all the noodles into the porcelain basin, only then did he turn around, Lu Li doted on the tip of Xiaoman's nose, "You, you just think too much." ”
