Chapter 2: Yang Hua
Before her rebirth, Xue Su was a hypocritical person, and she hated this and that on weekdays, but at this moment, she looked at the book, as if she had seen a mountain of gold and silver, and she didn't care about it at all, and shook off all the dust on her head, so she tore open the tattered cloth bag and stuffed the thin booklet into her arms.
Before Xue's mother died, she told Xue Su that this was an ancestral secret recipe, and she must not let others see it, at that time she thought that her mother was sick and confused, so she would value this thin booklet so much, but with the experience of the previous life, Xue Su completely recognized the value of the secret recipe and understood her mother's painstaking efforts.
After filling in the hollow soil pit in front of the peach tree, Xue Su casually threw the rags in the grass and went back to Chu's house. As soon as I entered the fence yard, I suddenly heard a familiar voice outside.
When she walked out of the kitchen to look, she saw Wang Youqing standing outside the fence courtyard at a glance.
The young man has handsome facial features, a slightly thin figure, and wears a lake-blue robe, which is the first in Anning Village, plus the Wang family has a rich background, and he can be regarded as a rich man in ten miles and eight townships, and he can handle everything in his family background, Wang Youqing has touched the hearts of many little girls, and Xue Su is no exception.
Wang Youqing also saw Xue Su, his eyes flashed again and again, beckoned to her, and said:
"Sister-in-law of the Chu family, I brought you a book of poems, take a look, here are poems written by Xiangshan monks......"
Xue Su seemed to have roots under her feet, and she didn't move a step for a long time, and when she saw Wang Youqing's face, she exhausted the willpower of her whole body and controlled herself not to slap Wang Youqing hard.
Biting her lip, she didn't show any of it on her face, her eyes were lowered, she looked as if she was shy, and she walked out of the fence step by step, staring at the poetry book in Wang Youqing's hand, Xue Su couldn't help sneering in her heart.
In her previous life, she loved vanity, and felt that Wang Youqing would definitely have a great future in the future, and he looked handsome again, and offered to teach her to read and learn words.
Fortunately, she woke up in time in this life, and she will no longer let this beast who deserves a thousand cuts be deceived.
"Su Niang, let's go to the stone bench over there to read a collection of poems, there is no one there, don't delay reading and learning words."
After the woman approached, Wang Youqing was not afraid of being heard, but he still deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, the word "Su Niang" was intimate and ambiguous, and Xue Su was no longer the little girl who didn't understand the personnel back then, so naturally he would not be easily bluffed by his rhetoric.
"Wang Xiucai, I don't want to learn poetry anymore."
Wang Youqing couldn't help frowning, seeing Xue Su's ugly face, he asked urgently:
"Why don't you want to learn poetry? Is it Chu Qinghe who embarrasses you, you and I are innocent, we only have a relationship of preaching and teaching, and a manly husband is really narrow-minded because of such a trivial matter! ”
Xue Su listened to Wang Youqing's derogatory derogatory Chu Qinghe, and hated it in his heart, and secretly scolded this person for a dog blood spray, but he didn't show the slightest on the surface, his eyes were slightly red, and he nodded timidly, not to mention how pitiful that look was.
Since Wang Youqing thinks that Chu Qinghe doesn't let her learn poetry, she just uses that person as a shield and saves trouble.
This person is very well-behaved on weekdays, and today I don't know if it was because Xue Su refused, so he held her hand tightly three or two times.
Due to her perennial work, the flesh and skin on her hands are not delicate, and there are many calluses on her palms and fingertips, but Wang Youqing doesn't care.
He knew very well that Xue Su was just because he didn't eat well, and his body was too thin, if he raised it well and was a little plump, he would definitely be a rare beauty embryo.
I don't know if it's because of Wang Youqing's weakness, the palm is slippery and sticky, and there is a layer of fine sweat, holding her hand tightly at the moment, the sticky and greasy feeling can make Xue Su nauseous, and her stomach is churning, so she can't spit it out.
Just wanted to push the man away, Chu Qinghe suddenly limped out of the big house, his gray eyes were still blank, but his head was biased towards Xue Su, and he didn't know what was wrong, looking at his expression from a distance, she actually felt a little weak.
Obviously, Chu Qinghe can't see anything, and it stands to reason that he won't find out that Wang Youqing is, what is she afraid of?
"Chu Qinghe has come out."
Xue Su muttered in a low voice, and while Wang Youqing was not paying attention, he hurriedly pulled his hand out and trotted to the man's side.
When she took a closer look, she found that Chu Qinghe's face was not too good, the man's outline was extremely deep, and his skin looked rough and dark, which looked a little vicious at first glance, but in fact he was a rare good person, but it was a pity that Xue Su didn't know how to spare him and let him down.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
This sentence used to be Xue Su's comfort when she felt guilty in her midnight dream, and now looking at the man in front of her who was as tall as an iron tower, she realized how deep and thick the shame in her heart was.
"Qinghe, are you catching a cold? I'm going to grab some medicine......"
While speaking, Xue Su stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand to try that Chu Qinghe's forehead was not hot, but when she thought that the man took a few steps back, she threw herself into the air, if she hadn't grabbed the wooden pillar in a panic, she was afraid that she would have fallen directly to the ground.
Wang Youqing watched this scene from a distance, how distressed was Sensei, a woman like Xue Su should be held in the palm of her hand and cared for, Chu Qinghe is a rough villager, he doesn't know what pity and jade are, so vulgar, it is really a flower inserted in cow dung.
With such a thought in his heart, Wang Youqing hooked his lips and smiled proudly, turned around and left the Chu family.
The blind man surnamed Chu obviously heard his voice, otherwise Fang Cai would not have shown that angry expression.
A lame and blind bastard, there is no place to compare with him from head to toe, Xue Su is not a fool, he must know how to choose.
Chu Qinghe clenched his fist to his lips with one hand and coughed a few times, although he just dodged it, Xue Su didn't feel that there was anything wrong, she and this person were husband and wife on the surface, but in fact, they hadn't even touched their hands a few times, and they weren't familiar with it.
"I didn't catch a cold, but my throat was uncomfortable."
Xue Su looked at Chu Qinghe's back and couldn't help frowning.
I remember that there is loquat leaf paste in the secret recipe left by my mother, no matter whether this thing has the effect of clearing the lungs and moisturizing the lungs, relieving cough and reducing phlegm, you have to try it, otherwise Chu Qinghe will go to the mountains to hunt with illness, and no matter how strong his body is, he will not be able to withstand such a bad practice.
She can't live with Chu Qinghe once, and she can't have a second time.
Just do it, Xue Su walked out with the basket, there was a loquat tree that had grown for more than 30 years behind the Chu family's house, and the old leaves on it were picked off to make this loquat leaf paste, which was not a trouble.
Holding scissors in his hand, he cut off a lot of old leaves with a few clicks, used a brush to remove all the fine hairs on the old leaves, and put them in a pot to fry.
Looking at the red stove fire, Xue Su bit his mouth and thought, in order to make this loquat leaf paste, good honey must be added when boiling, the Chu family is poor and can't even take out a child, where can they get honey?
Walking to the door, Xue Su frowned and looked at the direction of the back mountain, there are a lot of fruit trees planted on the mountain, there must be a beehive, but poke the beehive down, in case it angers those wild bees, and the face is covered with stings, the taste will definitely not be good.
There was a hint of hesitation on his face, but as long as he thought of Chu Qinghe's limping up the mountain to hunt, Xue Su really couldn't help it.
Gritting his teeth, he went back to the house and changed into indigo clothes, wrapped his head and face with a cloth towel, and walked up the mountain with a thin bamboo pole.
The mountain road is uneven, a step is a pit, there has been no rain these days, plus the weather is hot, the mud road has been stepped on firmly, people will raise a piece of dust when they walk on it, and I don't know how many times Zhao Blind has fallen to drag the prey back.
There were not many hunters in Anning Village, and there were few people who went to the back mountain, Xue Su walked for half an hour, and finally saw the earthy yellow honeycomb hanging in the thick shade of the branches and leaves, and there were two or three wild bees buzzing around.
Thinking of the miserable appearance after being bitten, her legs were a little weak, she licked her dry lips, and without giving herself a chance to hesitate, she raised the bamboo pole and snapped the honeycomb down.
Dense wild bees poured out like rain.
A piece of earth covered Xue Su's sight, where did she dare to stand in place, pull her legs and run, but unfortunately people did not run as fast as wild bees, and it was useless to cover her head and face with a cloth, and finally jumped directly into the pool, wild bees could not enter the water, so she escaped a catastrophe.
After a while, Xue Su crawled out of the pool, his clothes soaked all over, clinging tightly to his body, tightly sealed.
As soon as the mountain breeze blew, she shivered, and quickly walked to the same place, picked up the honeycomb and walked back.
Now is not the busy season of farming, the men are idle in the house, while the women gather together in twos and threes, and when they see Xue Su's head covered and drenched, they can't help but laugh:
"Isn't this the daughter-in-law of the Chu family? Why is it so embarrassing, and he still covers his face with a cloth towel, isn't it disfigured? ”
"Who knows, Chu is really unlucky, he was relied on by such a woman, pinched his nose and married someone home, how could he have thought that he was marrying an ancestor......"
Listening to the gossip of those women, Xue Su held her breath in her heart, but she didn't argue with them, after all, she was now bitten by bees and her face was full of bags, and her whole body was soaked, if she quarreled with this group of women with broken mouths again, she would only suffer herself, and she was not a fool, so she secretly gritted her teeth and went back to the Chu family directly.
Loquat leaves grunted in the casserole, and a bitter smell spread throughout the kitchen.
Lian Sheng didn't like to smell this smell, pinched his nose, wanted to ask something but didn't dare to speak, the little girl already looked delicate, and when she no longer looked at herself with disdain, Xue Su still felt that she was quite pleasing to the eye.
