Chapter 157: Discussing Marriage
The Qin clan was clearing the snow in the courtyard, and the two of them went to take over the work and sweep the passage for the courtyard.
"This snow is really unfortunate." Qin Shi Wangtian smiled bitterly, "It's hard to go to this town, let's wait for the snow to melt a little before going." ”
There was no way, He Mai had to go to the stove room and get a bite of food for the old lady who couldn't sleep, and the two went back the same way.
The snow was really heavy enough, and it took half an hour to get from home to Qin's hut. When he got home, He Mai was tired and collapsed on the bench for a while before resting.
He Mai sat on the bench, Xiao Hei honestly lay on the kang and looked at her, a pair of black round eyes reflected in He Mai, and from time to time stretched out his tongue to lick his cheeks.
When Rokuro returned from sweeping the snow from the donkey shed and pigsty in the backyard, he saw He Mai standing under the eaves, wearing rabbit skin gloves and pinching a few snowballs and throwing them into the yard.
She threw it, and Xiao Hei went to pick it up with his mouth.
The snowballs that I usually pick up also turned into residual snow in Xiao Hei's mouth, and they didn't become one.
Xiao Hei was still unknown, looking at Hemai with his eyes open and stupid, as if to say: Where is my ball?
He Mai was amused by Xiao Hei's stupid appearance and giggled, seeing Liulang watching the excitement on the side, he pointed at Xiao Hei and smiled: "I'm afraid this little thing doesn't need to eat at noon, and I eat a stomach full of snow!" ”
When it was daylight, the sky was sprinkled with snowflakes for a while.
The waist-deep snow has made it difficult for people to walk, and it will take three to five days to wait for the snow to melt and people can drive out of the village.
In the evening, He Mai was worried about getting some food to eat, but saw Xu Jiang coming from outside the courtyard with a large piece of mutton in his hand.
"Hemai, Rokuro!" Xu Jiang waved at the two of them outside the hospital.
"Brother Xu is here, I happen to have dinner together, and I don't know what to eat!" He Mai greeted him with a smile.
Xu Jiang shook his head, "I'm not going to come here to eat today!" I ate at Lizheng's house just now, and the last consultation fee was replaced by a large piece of mutton, and I saw that it was fresh, so I brought it back, isn't it just right for you two to eat? ”
"This lamb is so fresh!" He Mai took it and looked at it, and saw that the mutton with the belt meat was still bloodshot, thinking that it had only been killed in the past two days, so he smiled and said: "If it is roasted, it must be delicious, Brother Xu doesn't stay to taste it?" ”
Xu Jiang smashed his mouth, "No, if you and Liulang can have some meat left, you can eat with me next time, if not...... Hehe, there's always a chance to eat. Gotcha, I'm leaving! ”
Xu Jiang hurriedly said goodbye to He Mai and Liulang in the house, turned around and disappeared into the snow.
After Xu Jiang walked for a while, Liulang came out, he was just sharpening his knife in the house, Xu Jiang was not an outsider, so he didn't bother to come out to say hello, and when he saw this large piece of meat, he raised his eyebrows and said, "This meat is not bad." ”
"No, it's a fresh piece." He Mai looked at the meat and swallowed, "How to eat?" ”
"Whatever you want." Rokuro smiled slightly, "Anyway, what you do is delicious." ”
"That'...... Stewed radish cubes? Drinking soup in this weather, how warm it is on the body. "The wheat is almost full.
"Okay." Rokuro nodded, "I'll go pluck the turnip." ”
The vegetable garden outside the courtyard continued to be deliberately removed.
Such a big snowfall, covering those turnips, will make those cabbage and radishes absorb snow and frost, and the vegetables that have gone through the wind and snow will become sweeter and more crisp.
Liulang removed the snow and pulled the radish, Xiao Hei stood at the door of the stove room, squatted in front of the door, and listened to the wheat in the house chopping meat.
The bone stick on the big lamb was its purpose, and it was not until Rokuro plucked the radish back, washed it with water, and sent it to the stove, that He Mai saw it.
"I forgot about it," He Mai laughed, "blanch the water in a while, take it out and dry it for you." ”
Xiao Hei was very happy, whined, and happily ran to the snow in the courtyard to have fun.
When the mutton is blanched, put some ginger slices of white wine into the water, which can remove the smell and stop the shame, and the stewed meat is also very tender.
The blanched soup is set aside, and after the mutton and radish are stir-fried in the pot and oiled, the soup is poured in, and after it is boiled, it is simmered for an hour, and the fragrance wafts throughout the courtyard.
This kung fu, Xiao Hei gnawed around a lamb bone with relish, and he couldn't even care about He Mai beckoning him.
Lunch is this mutton and radish soup, and then heat a few corn tortillas, Liulang sent a can of soup and cakes to the old lady while it was hot, and when he came back, the meal had been placed on the kang table of the two, He Mai helped him take off his jacket, and the two of them ate fragrantly on the kang.
Dinner is even simpler, there are still a little left of the noon dishes, and there are still a lot of soups, just with this soup, Hemai has a pot of noodles, and the taste is especially great.
For a few days, Xiaoqing Village was closed by heavy snow, and the farthest I could go to the Qin family to deliver some food.
The old lady was so sad that she couldn't eat anything, and she refused to go to the house with Rokuro to eat and drink and live together.
On the sixth day, the snow melted slightly, and they could barely travel by car, He Mai and Liulang did not dare to delay, so they hurriedly left the village to go to Qinghe Town after eating early in the morning.
When he arrived at the academy, He Mai reported to the concierge and found He Lin first.
I couldn't say a word or two with He Lin, I only said that I should let He Miao come out quickly.
I don't know what He Lin said, He Miao heard that He Mai and Liulang came to her together, and they refused to go out when they said anything. He Lin had no choice but to run out again and bring the words of He Miao to He Mai.
Hemai laughed, "She doesn't come out?" Then you say, if she doesn't come out again, she will be married to a bad old man by her father! ”
He Lin opened his mouth wide in surprise: "Really fake!?" ”
"Really!" He Mai waved his hand, "Brother, you just go and tell Lin Hemiao like this, if she is still here and can't come out with me, then don't blame me for not telling her!" ”
This time He Lin went back, and after two hours of incense, when he came out again, he was followed by Lin Hemiao, who was suspicious and reluctant.
Glimpsing He Mai's indifferent face, He Miao pursed his lips with a look of displeasure.
"What are you coming to me for?" He Miao asked with a face.
"Naturally, I have something to tell you!" He Mai talked nonsense with her, and simply went straight to the point, "Grandma is looking for you to go home and discuss your father's engagement to you!" ”
"My father's engagement to me?" He Miao looked at He Mai suspiciously, "When did my father get me engaged?" ”
"I can't say a word or two clearly, get in the car and follow me back to the village! Brother, you come up too, let's all go back! ”
"Wait!" Lin Hemiao spoke out to stop Hemai, "Lin Hemai, you can't play any conspiracy, you're calculating me!?" ”
"I'm counting you!?" He Mai pointed his finger at himself, and then snorted disdainfully, "Do you still use intrigue and trickery? Do you think too highly of yourself or do you look down on me? ”
He Mai jumped into the car, and He Lin also followed, leaving Lin He Miao standing on the ground.
"Can't you get up?" He Mai asked impatiently.
