Chapter 34: Rock Sugar Gourd

Zhang Xiuqin finally stopped making a fuss, Su Xiaoman also put her mind at ease, and took advantage of the good weather the next day, she put the two hares in the yard, and she went to the firewood room to be busy.

Lu Li came back with some rattan, and he sat in the yard to make a nest for the rabbits, so that they would not run away without anyone noticing.

The autumn is high and crisp, there is no cloud in the clear blue sky, Lu Li sat on a small stool, while paying attention to the movement of the rabbit while using enough strength to make a nest, just about to make it, the small firewood room wafted out of the sweet fragrance.

"Lu Li, come and try it."

There was a sound of surprise from Xiao Man in the house, Lu Li buckled the two rabbits with the bamboo basket on the side, got up and walked towards the firewood room while brushing off the soil on his body.

The closer he walked, the sweeter the smell became stronger, and Lu Li raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing, why does it smell sweet?" ”

As he spoke, he leaned over to take a look, but saw that the white porcelain plate was filled with sugar-coated hawthorn, and the shiny sugar-coated was wrapped in red hawthorn, which looked crystal clear, and because it was still hot, the whole firewood room was full of sweet taste.

Su Xiaoman twisted one and handed it to the man's mouth, blinking his eyes, "This is a rock sugar gourd I made, you can taste it first, is it delicious?" ”

The hawthorn is sweet and sour, and the outer layer of sugar coating is just right, neither too sweet nor imperceptible to the sweetness, it is indeed delicious.

Looking at the pair of eyes looking at him expectantly, Lu Li deliberately frowned, and was silent and did not speak.

"What's wrong, isn't it delicious?" The moment the man frowned, Su Xiaoman also pinched his heart and tightened his eyebrows.

Lu Li still didn't speak, just stared at the woman vigorously.

The more this happened, the more anxious Su Xiaoman became, and she hurriedly picked up one and sent it to her mouth.

Hawthorn still has a slight sour taste, because the core has been removed before, so you can rest assured that you can bite directly, and the crunchy sugar coating on the outside is mixed with hawthorn to eat, sweet and sour, appetizing very much.

"It's delicious, Lu Li, what do you think?" Su Xiaoman picked up another one and raised his head to look at Lu Li.

The man laughed, "It's delicious, but why do you want to sit on this, hungry?" Or did you finish the snacks you bought last time? ”

Su Xiaoman pouted, and skewered the remaining rock sugar gourds one by one with bamboo skewers, "Yesterday's incident, thanks to Aunt Yang who ran up the mountain and told us that I have to find something to thank people." She has a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses at home, two mouths, and there are not many snacks left from the snacks I bought last time, so I thought about making some myself. ”

This time they helped you, you have to thank them anyway, it is not appropriate to go empty-handed, Su Xiaoman thought for a long time before he thought of such a solution.

What's more, Aunt Yang's family and the Su family are close to each other, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, if there is anything in the future, Aunt Yang will definitely come to inform herself in time, then she doesn't have to worry about it every day.

The hawthorn was bought in the city a few days ago, I ate some by myself, and gave it to Su Xiaoling.

After finishing speaking, Su Xiaoman also strung it together, a full three strings, shining with crystal light under the sunlight, which was quite attractive.

"It's not that you sent the dragon and phoenix fetus, why did you string three strings, don't you want them to quarrel because of this?" Lu Lishu laughed and quipped.

Su Xiao's face flushed, he bit his lip and didn't speak, and he was busy with the work at hand.

The small firewood room suddenly quieted down, Lu Li touched his nose, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, which made Xiaoman angry, he was about to apologize, but saw the woman in front of him raise her head.

At the same time, a string of rock sugar gourds was handed to him.

"The extra string is for you." Su Xiaoman had a flushed face, stretched out his hand straight, revealing a small white and delicate lotus root.

She didn't dare to look at Lu Li, but because she was worried that the other party didn't want it, she raised her eyes to look at Lu Li from time to time, for fear that the other party would think that the things she sent were too childish.

After a moment, Lu Li laughed and took the rock sugar gourd, "Thank you, I like it very much." ”

Su Xiaoman's face was even redder, and her neck was also dyed with a large piece of powder, she lowered her head and bit her lip, and her voice was like a mosquito fly: "If you like it, then, then I'll go first." ”

After speaking, Xiao Man took the remaining two strings and left the firewood room, as if he was afraid that Lu Li would make fun of her again.

The distance was not far, and Su Xiaoman also fled as if he was flying, so Lu Li simply didn't follow, he went back to the small courtyard to make up a rabbit nest, and went to the firewood room to cook, and it happened that Xiaoman also came back.

"Coming back?" Lu Li didn't look up, and asked casually.

Su Xiaoman had already returned to normal, she nodded, and there was excitement between her eyebrows, "Aunt Yang's twins are so beautiful and cute, they look very pleasing." ”

I was going to thank Aunt Yang, but when I saw the twins, Su Xiaoman couldn't move her feet, seeing that she liked the twins so much, Aunt Yang was also very beautiful in her heart, so she delayed a little longer.

For fear that Lu Li would be worried, and also to share this joy with the other party, Su Xiaoman ran back, and thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the tip of his nose.

"Lu Li, next time you must go to Aunt Yang's house with me, the twins are very cute, and they are very sensible, chubby, round, like New Year's dolls, I still like it when I think about it." Su Xiao was full of excitement, and there was joy between his eyebrows.

It was rare for her to say so much, Lu Li couldn't help but raise her head, looking at the woman with crooked eyebrows, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "You really like it so much?" ”

"Hmm!" Su Xiaoman nodded heavily, she had never found out that she liked children so much.

Lu Li put down the rice spoon, walked to Su Xiaoman and stared at her carefully for a while, he reached out to brush the sweat beads on the woman's face, and intimately helped her fix her hair.

This series of actions had already caused Su Xiaoman's face to turn red, and even his earlobes were flushed with blood.

The man leaned over and smiled, "Since you like it so much, why don't we-"

Speaking of this, Lu Li specially lengthened his tone, raised his eyes and stared at Su Xiaoman's eyes with a smile, as if waiting for the other party to comprehend himself.

Su Xiaoman was stunned for a moment at first, but when she noticed Lu Li's eyes, a sentence suddenly flashed in her mind: It's better for us to have one ourselves.

Her face, neck, and ears quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Su Xiaoman stood stiffly in place, breathing abnormally.

In order to hide his smile, Lu Li covered his lips and coughed lightly, and made up for the unfinished words: "Why don't we visit the twins often, what do you think?" ”

Su Xiaoman looked up in astonishment, with doubts, puzzlements, and a little confusion in his bright eyes.

Lu Li couldn't hold back any longer, stood up straight and laughed lowly.

If she hadn't reacted at this time, then Su Xiaoman would have really become a fool, and her face turned red again, but this time she was annoyed and angry.

"Lu Li, you...... You're so boring! Even if he was annoyed, Su Xiaoman just clenched his fists and scolded, and then ran away.

The smile in Lu Li's eyes became thicker and thicker, and seeing that the woman ran to the vegetable garden again, he called softly: "The meal is ready, does Xiaoman want to eat?" ”

The figure on the edge of the vegetable garden froze, and after a while, he replied without a breath: "Eat." ”

The relationship between the two is getting closer and closer, Xiao Man will blush from time to time, and Lu Li teases more and more frequently, talking and laughing, and it is already winter in a blink of an eye.

There are a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden, and the green vegetables have been eaten two or three times, and in one day, in addition to doing embroidery work in the house, Su Xiaoman is to check how the vegetables in the vegetable garden are doing, so that they can be harvested in time, so as not to be frozen by the frost that does not know when it comes.

In the past two days, I don't know why, there are always people in the family who come to visit the door, all of them are fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, most of them are not married, all of them are like green onions, and they come to Xiaoman all day long.

"Sister Xiaoman, I heard Xiaoling say that the handkerchief you embroidered was sold for a lot of money in the ready-to-wear shops in the city, is it true?" A tall girl asked first, her eyes revealing scrutiny.

Xiao Man smiled shyly, "It didn't sell for much, but it was the shopkeeper's appreciation, and he was willing to let me put the handkerchief there and sell it." ”

A slightly chubby girl next to her followed up with the conversation: "Sister Xiaoman embroiders so well, can you teach us?" Even if the craftsmanship is not as good as yours, you can't be like you to sell handkerchiefs for money, and it's good to be able to make your own clothes or something. ”

As soon as the words fell, the wooden door in the courtyard was closed, and there was a loud "bang", which caused several girls in the yard to look over there.

Xiao Man looked at it, and it turned out that Lu Li had returned.

"Lu Li, are you back?" Xiaoman got up and greeted the man with a smile.

If it was in the past, Lu Li would definitely come over with a smile and tell her about the interesting things he encountered when he went out, and at the worst of all, he would also turn his head and respond, but today......

Lu Li's face was gloomy, he frowned and nodded, and then went directly to the house.

"Sister Xiaoman, what's wrong with him, brother-in-law, are you angry?"

"Does he not like us coming to you?"

The girl is thoughtful, and she will inevitably think more when she sees this.

Su Xiaoman laughed, "He definitely didn't hear it, he didn't mean to show face to you, don't think about it, you go home first, I'll go see what's wrong." ”

After taking away a bunch of people in the courtyard, Xiao Man hurriedly ran to the house.

Seeing the man sitting on the chair drinking without saying a word, Xiao Man slowed down and said softly: "Lu Li, what's wrong?" ”

"I just heard bad news." Lu Li turned to look at her directly, with a grim expression: "Li Shu went to the city early in the morning, taking Liu Zhicheng and Li Xin with him, and bringing a big burden. ”

Su Xiaoman was stunned, "What is he doing when he goes to the city?" ”

Liu Zhicheng, who is burdened and lame, plus Li Xin, who framed Xiaoman and hurt her slippery tire some time ago, what can Li Shu do when he goes to the city.

Immediately, she reacted and exclaimed, "He shouldn't be looking for someone to arrest me, right?" ”

Lu Li frowned tightly and didn't speak.
