Chapter 224: The Smoke of Gunpowder on the Wine Table
"I'll go to Lijiazhuang in a while, don't you like to eat the crisp pear cake there? I'll buy a big bag and bring it back to you, okay? Ma Er grinned, please the mountain grass.
"Okay," Yamacao swallowed, his eyes shining.
"There are also meatballs from Bai Bao Zhai, sauced beef, fried lung slices, ......" Ma Er counted a lot, and finally said, "I'll bring it all tomorrow and eat it for you!" ”
Shancao said angrily: "I don't want to eat so old, my father knows, he has to scold me fiercely." ”
"What are you scolding?" Ma Er said curiously.
"Scold me for being greedy, scold me for knowing how to eat every day, and eat men's things, it's just ......" She said halfway through her words and refused to continue.
Ma Er didn't care, grinned and said, "What's that!" You didn't eat anything from outsiders, and if you ate my food, you're my person, right? ”
"You don't talk nonsense, I'm not your person!" Shancao pretended to be angry and corrected.
Ma Er showed a soft look for a rare look, and said with a smile: "You shouldn't be called Shancao, you should be called Shanjiao, so spicy, don't be my person, who dares to ask you?" ”
Ma Er said this, but the mountain grass quieted down. There was still a shy flush on her face, but there was a hint of impatience on her face.
"My dad...... I don't know you yet," she whispered.
"Huh?" Ma Er frowned, why don't you know me? How many times have I been to your house to deliver things, and how many times has Uncle Lu seen me!
"Hey, you idiot!" Shancao was anxious, "You have been there so many times, don't you always say that you are my brother's friend, so you came to send something?" Which time is it because of me? ”
"Which time is not because you ......" Ma Er argued, and after a moment of reaction, he patted his head in hindsight, "What do you mean...... Your dad doesn't know that the two of us are getting along? ”
Shancao was angry when he looked stupid, stomped his feet and said, "What do you say? ”
"Oh, oh, oh......" Ma Er twisted his head and laughed dryly.
"What are you smiling at?" Shancao tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously.
Ma Erzhi said twice, and then said: "This is my negligence, next time, next time I go to your house to deliver something, I must say that it is for you!" ”
Shancao was happy, tilted his head and asked, "And then?" And then what else to say? ”
"What did you say?" Ma Er asked blankly.
"Idiot!" Shancao was disgusted again, and turned his head to ignore Ma Er.
Waiting for He Lin to send spring flowers and summer flowers with a slight twist, Ma Er and Shancao also left, He Mai and Liulang helped Qin Shi back to the house.
"There are so many children in the house, it's weird and lively, and when you leave tomorrow morning, the house will be completely empty," Qin Shi spoke, and the white hair on his head trembled one by one.
Her voice was clearly very calm, but He Mai still heard a bit of sadness.
"Grandma, Liulang and I have made a lot of money these days, and when we have saved enough money for a while, we will go to Yahang and buy a big house in the town!" He Mai pretended to be relaxed, dancing and gesturing, "When the time comes, my brother can go home to live every day, the round-trip journey of the province is hard, and he only comes back once a month, so that you will be worried to death!" ”
Qin squinted and smiled and said, "Okay, grandma wait, when that time comes, I have to bring you and your brother's children a big mile!" ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as the old lady opened her mouth, she would be able to turn the topic to the matter of giving birth, He Mai stuck out her tongue in shock, looked at Kamirokuro's smiling and teasing eyes, and hurriedly said something else.
When he came back from the stall the next day, He Mai specially went to the entrance of Qinglu Village to get two jars of wine, and prepared to send these two jars of wine to Hong Daquan.
When he got home, Rokuro tied the donkey into the barn, called Hemai, and said, "I'll deliver it, and you stay at home." ”
Liulang took two jars of wine and went to the two plots of land rented by Hong Daquan, but he didn't see Hong Daquan.
An old man led a buffalo to plough in a rice field next to him, and Liulang asked him, "Uncle, are you and Hong Daquan together?" ”
The old man paused, wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and said, "It's not together, are you looking for him?" He's going to pee and he'll be back in a minute! ”
Liulang looked at the few acres of rented land belonging to Hong Daquan, and the crops in the field did not grow very well, even the places on the back ridges were of different depths, and it could be seen that the people who were engaged in the crops were not very careful.
Liulang intended to say a few more words to the old man, so he simply went into the field barefoot to talk to the old man in addition to his shoes and socks.
After a while, when Hong Daquan came back, he saw Liulang sitting on the path beside him, looking at him fixedly.
Hong Daquan was just stunned for a moment, and hurriedly squeezed out a smiling face, "Brother Yang, why are you here?" ”
Liulang smiled slightly, lifted the wine jar in his hand, and said, "The weather is hot, I made two jars of wine with He Mai in Qinglu Village, and specially brought them to you." I know that you have always been able to drink water, but the wine sent this time has to be weighed and drunk, and I am afraid that if you are drunk, you will not find anyone to help you. ”
Hong Daquan's face showed joy, "I'm tired of Brother Yang and Sister Hemai!" I smelled the wine from afar, but I didn't think it was brought to me! ”
"If it's convenient, let's eat together in the evening." Rokuro said lightly.
"Hey, that's so embarrassing! You and Sister Hemai are very busy every day, I will bother you again, and I will trouble you more......" Hong Daquan held back his joy and said very thoughtfully.
"It's not troublesome," Rokuro shook his head, "Just take a bite, I'll take the spoon and go to Ma Er." We gentlemen drink and have nothing to do with women. ”
Hong Daquan was stunned for a moment, and quickly grinned, and said three good words in a row, "Good, good, good!" ”
When He Mai knew that Liulang was going to take Hong Daquan to Ma Er's house at night, he was surprised.
"You three men, what good things can you make to eat? Shall I go and cook you some food?" so that you can drink. He Mai said.
Rokuro shook his head, "Don't worry about it, it's important to take care of yourself." I'm not coming back for dinner, you have to remember to drink the medicine. ”
"Yes." He Mai nodded obediently, and persuaded Liulang, "You drink less, it will save you a headache." ”
"It's okay," Rokuro curled his lips and laughed gently, "You know how much I drink, whether I get drunk or not, what's more, I still have you waiting for me at home, how can I get drunk?" ”
That night, Liulang went to the house where Ma Er lived and drank with Ma Er and Hong Daquan.
He Mai thought it was an ordinary night, but Rokuro was not at home, and the house was a little lonely.
But in fact, under this seemingly unremarkable night sky full of stars, in Ma Er's room, the three-person room on the wine table was filled with a smell of gunsmoke that was invisible and unheard.
It's not so much about drinking as it's about exploring and testing.
They are trying to pierce each other's true colors to verify the level of threat to them.
