When Cui'er finally broke free from Lian Qingshan's hands, her face was already so red that she could drip blood, her hands and feet were trembling slightly, and she hurriedly walked to the kitchen to prepare for cooking, only to find that the tea she fried yesterday was still thrown in the cauldron and did not move.

"Yikes!" Cui'er let out a low sigh, hurriedly picked up the basket, looked at the pale yellow basket edge, there were slight black marks, and thought of the fact that she unconsciously threw the tea into the pot last night.

Cui'er stretched out her hand and pulled the tea leaves, seeing that the tea under it was not burned, then she put her mind at ease, and touched the dry tea leaves that were obviously dehydrated.

"Qingshan, I fried the tea yesterday, let's finish breakfast, let's make some to drink?" Cui'er put the tea leaves on the kang and showed Lian Qingshan, and turned her head to make breakfast.

"Okay, there should be a teapot under the cabinet of cupshelves." Lian Qingshan replied, weaving a wicker basket while talking.

After breakfast, Cui'er scooped some of the fried tea leaves into the teapot and brewed them, but after a while, the room was filled with a strong tea fragrance, which was slightly bitter but had a strange aromatic smell, so that Cui'er couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"Cui'er, this tea is so fragrant!" Lian Qingshan took a sip of tea in a small bowl, only feeling that his teeth and cheeks were fragrant, even if he didn't know much about tea, he thought this tea was excellent.

"Well, the fried ones seem to be okay." Cui'er first sniffed the fragrance of the tea, then tasted it slightly, and nodded lightly, although she didn't pay attention to it yesterday, she almost burned the tea, and it seemed to taste pretty good.

"In the future, when we have time, we will pick some tea leaves and come back to fry, this tea is so fragrant, even if it can't be sold, it's good to bring it to your own guests." Cui'er said with bright eyes.

"Well, it's all up to you!" Looking at Cui'er's bright eyes and full of anticipation, even Qingshan couldn't wait to pick all the stars in the sky to her, let alone such a small request?

"By the way, I don't think there are many wickers left in our house, do you want me to pick some and come back to dry, there will be no time left." Cui'er looked at a large bunch of wicker beside Lian Qingshan, and suddenly remembered that this wicker was in the utility room, and it seemed that there were only two bundles left.

"It's time to pick, this wicker is the best in spring, tender and tough, let's go later." Lian Qingshan thought about it and said.

"I'll just go, don't go, your leg was still itchy yesterday, at this time, you have to rest well, wait for the meat to grow before moving, you just tell me how to get it." Cui'er saw that Lian Qingshan was about to get up, and suddenly became anxious, and pressed Lian Qingshan on the kang to prevent him from getting up, and said urgently.

"Cui'er......" Even Qingshan's face turned red when she looked at Cui'er, and smiled softly at Cui'er, "Don't worry, Cui'er, my legs know by themselves, it's okay." ”

"That's not going to work...... No matter what, it won't make you tired! Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan's smile, only to feel as if she had seen the sun break through the clouds, the golden was dazzling, she sniffed, and said to Lian Qingshan half-coquettishly.

"Cui'er, it's okay." Lian Qingshan propped up his crutches and walked around in front of Cui'er, "Look, I'm not walking well, the place where the willow branches are broken is not far, and the road is easy to walk, you can rest assured!" Besides, if I don't go, how do you know what kind of wicker is suitable for basketry, you say no? ”

"That'...... All right! Under the persuasion of Lian Qingshan, Cui'er was bored for a while before agreeing, she sighed and added to Lian Qingshan, "I tell you, I will carry the wicker later, and you are not allowed to move at all!" ”

"Good, good...... It's all up to you! Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er's blushing face and serious look, and couldn't help but smile and agree.

After putting the big girl and Xiaohu at home and locking the courtyard door, Cui'er and Lian Qingshan walked on the mountain path together, and the two of them, who had almost never been alone, talked with each other, and a warm and sweet atmosphere unconsciously entwined the two.

"Aoyama...... I have something to tell you......" Cui'er looked at the white clouds floating in the mountains, and suddenly had an impulse to tell her life experience, she hurriedly took two steps forward and stood in front of Lian Qingshan.

"Cui'er, what do you say?" Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er's face with a very nervous expression, stretched out his hand, gently removed the leaves that had been accidentally stained on her sideburns, and said softly to Cui'er.

"I ...... I ......" Cui'er looked at the indiscernible truth in Lian Qingshan's eyes, and only felt that her heart was full, and she couldn't wait to tell her that she was not the original owner.

"I ...... I'm not Cui Niang......" Cui'er held back for a long time before such a sentence came out. As soon as she said this, Cui'er regretted it.

If Aoyama knew that he was not the wife he bought, would he still be so good to himself? If that person named Cui Niang comes to the door again, what will he do? Thinking of this, Cui'er covered her mouth tightly and refused to speak again.

"What are you? Cui Niang? When Lian Qingshan heard Cui'er's words, he was a little confused, he gently stretched out his hand, touched Cui'er's forehead, and said to himself, "It's okay, my head is not hot...... It's terrible if you're sick......"

"Qingshan ......" looked at Lian Qingshan touching his head seriously, Cui'er couldn't cry or laugh, and she didn't know whether to cry Lian Qingshan couldn't distinguish between priorities and priorities, or whether to laugh at him for caring about his body.

"Let's go, let's go fold wicker!" Cui'er took a deep breath, waved her hand at Lian Qingshan, turned around and continued to walk in the direction just now, with a slight smile on her face, as if she had forgotten what had just happened.

Lian Qingshan looked at Cui'er's pretending to be brisk, his eyes darkened slightly, he deliberately diverted the topic just now, in order to not want Cui'er to tell the truth, for fear that once Cui'er told the truth, she would leave him.

Lian Qingshan actually already knew that Cui'er was not the daughter-in-law he bought, and the surname of the family he bought was Cui, not Ye, and the head of the woman's family surnamed Cui, for four taels of silver, she could sell her daughter to herself as a house, she was definitely not a wealthy family, and she would never spend at least one or two taels of silver to make that pink dress for Cui'er, and she would never be able to raise a daughter like Cui'er who was knowledgeable and could write and calculate.

Thinking of this, Lian Qingshan's face darkened a lot, Cui'er wanted to tell the truth to herself, did it mean that she wanted to leave?

Cui'er walked ahead, and suddenly found that Lian Qingshan did not follow, and turned her head to see that Lian Qingshan was standing there not knowing what he was thinking, his face was dark and scary.

"Aoyama, what's wrong with you? If your face is not good, is your leg uncomfortable again? Cui'er rushed to Lian Qingshan's side in three steps and two steps, and subconsciously checked his legs.

"It's alright...... Cui'er, let's go. Looking at Cui'er's nervous appearance, Lian Qingshan smiled and shook her head, Cui'er is such a kind and beautiful woman, it's not something that she can think of, if she wants to leave, let it go.

Lian Qingshan persuaded himself in his heart, but he didn't want to mention what he had just said, for fear that Cui'er would leave immediately if he continued to talk about it, he stretched out his hand, put Cui'er's tender little white hand in the palm of his hand, and then held it firmly, if ...... If the next time Cui'er mentions her life experience and decides to leave, she will let go.

After a while, the two arrived at the edge of a willow forest, and Lian Qingshan pulled Cui'er to the edge of the willow tree, suppressing the feeling of loss in his heart, while telling Cui'er what kind of wicker is suitable for basketry, while demonstrating how to fold wicker.

Time passed slowly, Lian Qingshan's voice was low and slow, with a trace of affection, unconsciously, Lian Qingshan's gentleness seemed to be a thin silk, slowly intertwined, forming a soft and warm net, firmly netting Cui'er's heart, and never wanting to move a step.

Fold two bundles of wicker, and even Qingshan didn't say a word and carried the slightly larger bundle in his hand, Cui'er was so panicked that she wanted to grab it, but was stopped by Lian Qingshan, "Cui'er, look, I carry it with my hands, my hands are on the crutches, and my legs can't eat, don't worry, I know how to take good care of myself." ”

"Hmm......" Cui'er nodded when she heard this, her heart was a little gloomy, Lian Qingshan's legs are getting better and better, and she no longer needs to take care of herself so much, what if ...... If he tells the truth, will he part ways with him and never see each other again?

Even Qingshan looked at Cui'er's sullen and dazed appearance, and her heart was tense for a while, Cui'er looked unwilling, maybe she wanted to leave, her half-crippled person had dragged her down for so long and for so long, shouldn't she let her go?

The two of them didn't say anything all the way, and each carried a bundle of wicker on their backs to return home, and both of them looked a little sullen.

After arriving at home, Cui'er sent Lian Qingshan back to the house, and hurriedly hid out, for fear that she would tell her identity on the spur of the moment, and even Qingshan didn't have a smile on her face, put the wicker bundle on the edge of the kang, and peeled the wicker skin and pulled the core, but she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

After eating, Cui'er and Lian Qingshan were relatively speechless, but their hands were not idle, and they cleaned up the big bundle of wicker, and Cui'er took out the big bundle of wicker to dry.

After drying the wicker, Cui'er suddenly found that the tea green she picked yesterday, and a small basket forgot to fry it, seeing that the tea green had changed color slightly, obviously it had been fermented, so she hesitated to fry the tea green.

"It's better to fry it, there are so many sprouts, it's too wasteful to throw it away!" Cui'er sighed and said, and immediately couldn't help but burn the fire in a hurry, threw Cha Qing into the iron pot, and stir-fried it vigorously.

After the tea was fried, Cui'er didn't even have the heart to taste the taste, so she spread the fried tea leaves in a basket to cool, and then turned around and went into the house.

"Qingshan, we have twenty of them in this basket, and I'll pick them up and sell them in the town tomorrow." Cui'er said, although there are still ten days to leave the town to deliver the goods.

"Good!" Lian Qingshan nodded, looking at Cui'er's eyes, there was a strong love, but he felt a bitter taste, lingering in his heart, Cui'er, are you ready to leave?
