Chapter 2: No different from a wildling
He Mai thought that he already had money on his body now, so he went to the grocery store in Qinglu Village early in the morning to buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and then inquired about how much silver it would cost to repair the stones of the thatched hut.
The pot is steaming, and the scrambled eggs are naturally not as fragrant as the fried eggs, but it is good to eat them at this time.
He Mai put the diced cucumber into the pot, fried it for a while, and some salt, and the salt also bottomed out - simply poured it in, and it couldn't be without oil, and even the marinade tasted!
When He Mai brought the noodles and marinade into the house, he saw Qin Shi sitting in the kang mat, holding a piece of sole.
"Milk, don't work, let's eat first." He Mai whispered, placing the bamboo chopsticks and the stoneware bowl containing the noodles in front of Qin, "Eat." ”
"Huh."
The grandparents and grandchildren were eating on the kang mat, the dilapidated window on the side was open, the clean and tidy appearance of the small courtyard was exposed, and the breeze was blowing.
After eating, the Qin family followed the plate and picked up the bowls, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house and the stove, and the grandfather and grandson returned to the hut, He Mai glanced at the Qin family who looked peaceful, and swallowed saliva.
"Milk, the people of the Yang family have come to give a dowry gift." He Mai whispered.
Qin's hand doing needlework shook, and there was a worried look on Cihe's face, "Hemai ......"
He Mai tightened her lips and whispered: "Milk, I want to marry someone in my life, I have decided, marry Yang Liulang!" ”
Qin's eyes were full of sadness, and there was an extra Sichuan character in the center of the old man's eyebrows, and his eyebrows were full of sadness and sorrow.
"It's the milk that has affected you," Qin wept and mourned, "The milk is useless, and there was an illness at this juncture, and it turned out to be your second uncle...... The bastard forces you to agree to marry Rokuro. Good wheat, don't be afraid, my grandmother will go to your second uncle during the day, even if I fight for my old life, I have to protect you thoroughly! ”
He Mai hurriedly shook his head to stop, "Milk, what are you talking about?" Yang Liulang came to give the dowry, and everyone in the village knew about it, and Uncle Lizheng also agreed! If you go to make trouble, what's the matter? Don't worry, don't worry! ”
She pretended to smile at Qin's with a relaxed demeanor, and said softly, "Milk, haven't you seen Liulang yet?" I've seen it once from afar, born tall and big, with a very strong body, and a good hand who can exert his strength. ”
When she was still living in the courtyard of the Lin family, she had seen Yang Liulang once in the southern forest.
As rumors in the village suggested, the man was tall and burly, with a thick and long beard, and almost all over his face with hair, and if it was any more messy, he would be no different from a wild man!
Living with such a person, I am afraid that there will be no one to talk to in the future!
He Mai took a deep breath, suppressed the depression and boredom that had risen, and said in a soft voice: "Milk, I didn't figure out this family business before, but now it's different, I want to open it, there's nothing wrong with marrying Yang Liulang, he is alone, let's live together in the future!" ”
Although she thought so in her heart, she had already made up her mind that after getting married, she would live with Yang Liulang Jingshui without violating the river water! What kind of male farmer and female weaver, husband and wife both return home, such a beautiful life, I am afraid it has nothing to do with her forced marriage!
Now, she is bound to marry Yang Liulang, if she refuses, Lin Changxi and his wife will definitely come to make trouble, and the old lady's body will be unbearable at that time......
After marrying Yang Liulang and stabilizing the old lady's emotions, it's not too late to clean up this hateful couple!
A bitter emotion appeared on Qin's face, and he shook his head with a pale face: "Silly child, how can you live with your mother's family if you are married?" That's the day of your little couple, my old bones are making a lot of fun! Hemai, you tell your grandmother the truth, do you really want to marry Rokuro? If you are reluctant, your grandmother will give up this life, and you can't let your second uncle's family harm you! ”
Lin Hemai's heart was sour, and he shook his head hurriedly and said: "I really don't have to worry about it, milk, I have to get married after all, why don't you marry early?" I really volunteered, by the way, Shangri Liulang pulled the dowry to the second uncle's house, there were too many things, I didn't have time to get them back, and after a while, I called the mountain grass to move things back with me - I gave milk roast meat and fish to eat at dinner! ”
Lin Hemai had already made a plan, the two chickens, one male and one female, happened to stay at home to lay eggs, what about fish and meat...... Isn't it just the right time to replenish Qin's body?
When Qin Shi heard this, in addition to a trace of comfort on his face, he was more preoccupied, and sighed deeply......
In the next day, when He Mai went to Lin Changxi's house, he called the mountain grass, and the mountain tree also went with him.
Shancao is only fifteen this year, but she knows how to help the family, and the whole person chatters and laughs every day, which is a very happy and lovely girl.
Shan Mu is two years older than Shan Cao, and he reads in the school in Qinglu Village every day, and he is tall and white, and these two siblings are very kind-hearted and amiable.
"He Mai, do you really want to marry Yang Liulang?" Shancao blinked, "It's also good, it's in our village, and we will still play together every day in the future." ”
Lu Shanmu glared at his sister, "You know how to play!" Is marrying a small thing? Hemai, you have to think about it. ”
Between his words, he had a lot of worries and worries about Hemai's marriage, and looked at Lin Hemai with a worried expression.
He Mai was very useful in his heart, but he said easily: "Brother Shanmu, what is it, isn't it just to marry someone?" If you have a good life, it is the same to marry anyone. ”
The mountain grass chirped: "Yes, yes, Yang Liulang is okay, but he is poor, I see that when he came back a year ago, he always carried a bow and arrow, and the bow and arrow looked like it could sink miles, I don't know how many catties!" But I haven't seen him carry his prey, maybe it's too far away! Brother, why do you think Yang Liulang is bad? That rich people are good? Do you see Xiumei? She was so beautiful that she was married to such an old man by her mother, and the family was rich, I heard that the people next to the old man's house could always hear Xiumei crying at night! ”
Shan Mu frowned and said, "You girl doesn't understand anything, don't make a fuss here." Hemai, what did Grandma Lin say? ”
"My grandmother didn't say anything, hey, Brother Shanmu, everyone has their own lives, it's all their own choice, I don't regret it." He Mai said in a soft but firm voice.
Lu Shanmu was also silent, not because of anything else, but because the three of them had already walked to the door of Lin Changxi's courtyard.
"Brother Shanmu, Shancao, I'll take a look first, you guys wait outside for a while, okay?" He Mai asked softly.
The brother and sister naturally nodded, the Lin family they were close to had already moved out of here, and they didn't want to go in to see the Lin family more.
Lin Hemai entered Lin Changxi's house, and the big black dog at the door was lying on the ground, and when he saw her come in, he stood up with a tiger's eye, and let out a muffled roar in his throat.
Lin Hemai glanced at the three baskets of dowry on the wall, and didn't bother to enter the door to greet Lin Changxi, so he simply walked over, ready to call the Shancao brothers and sisters in and carry the dowry back.
But when he walked up, He Mai realized that something was wrong.
There were a few chicken feathers scattered on the ground, and the red cloth covering the baskets of the two chickens also looked like they had been turned over.
As soon as Lin Hemai lifted the red cloth, sure enough, her heart sank.
