Chapter 16: Drunken Talk

In the next few days, Li Bokang deliberately avoided her, and even when he ate, he had to eat after she had finished eating. She endured it for a day or two, but after two days of endurance, she became angry and said angrily: "What, it's so unsightly, this is what you said you liked?" Are you going to avoid me for the rest of your life? A manly man has to dare to be a man, who to show this look to, in that case, why are you still saying those words, do you block me? Don't make me look down on you. ”

At that time, one of them was in the room and the other was outside, and not long after she finished speaking, Li Bokang opened the door and came out from inside. The clothes on her body are neatly dressed, but when you see her, she still bows her head slightly, but her body is standing straight. When he came out, he said to her, "I'm sorry, I was wrong, it won't be like this in the future." She didn't know what to say when she saw him like this, and there was still her reason for this.

If she had told him directly what was in her reply, he wouldn't have been so upset. Originally, Li Bokang was very shy after telling her those words, one was afraid that she would refuse, but he was afraid that she didn't take it to heart. Judging from the past few days, it seems that she really didn't take it to heart, and he doesn't know the content of her reply, and I don't know if she accepted Mr. Wu. In addition, he himself is really not confident in this matter, he is younger than her, and he has heard her say that he treats him as his own brother before. Second, although he lives with her now, and she treats him very well, he still has some bad feelings in his heart. He has nothing now, and he is afraid that he will not be worthy of her.

In the following days, no one mentioned this again, and there is probably a reason why they are too busy. September was supposed to be a harvest season, and Li Bokang had asked them before, so they should go and pull grain back in the next two days. In addition, there are still a lot of things that need to be harvested in the field at home, because I have also delayed a lot of time before, so I have to hurry up now.

This year's rent is the same as before, and the grain is not much different from the past, except for the tax payment, there are still more than 1,000 catties each. The family has also stored a lot of food, and there are places in the storehouse and the cave, which can be enough for the two of them to eat for a few years. It's just that it's mostly corn, and they usually eat mainly rice, so the consumption of millet is relatively large. However, corn is also consumed a lot, and it is also used a lot to feed pigs.

On the day they went to pull the rent, they happened to meet Ah Fu resting, so Ah Fu invited them to his house to sit down for a while and let them eat there, but they had to agree.

When he arrived at his house, he went to catch a chicken to kill, and after cleaning it, he asked his daughter-in-law to cook. Their kid is also two years old, and he looks quite strong. After eating at his house, I went to pull the food again, and the next day I pulled it again.

After finishing the work in the fields, I started to collect the family's land, and this year I planted a lot of corn and sweet potatoes. The corn was harvested first, and then the sweet potatoes were harvested, because there were more vermicelli made before, which had not been eaten yet, so only some fresh sweet potatoes were left, and the others were put away, washed, and dried. In this way, even if you want to make starch or boil it to feed the pigs, it is more convenient and easy to store. Now there is nothing but food in the storehouse.

It's already October after everything is done, and October is still harvest season. This year, because Li Bokang didn't go to school anymore, the two went out to the mountains every day. Because I also know the approximate place, so the harvest is still quite considerable, and after harvesting those dried fruits and everything, the two of them went to dig He Shou Wu and some seasonal medicinal herbs, and she has not dug Shou Wu for two years.

In the past two years, Dr. Shi has taught her to know several kinds of medicinal materials, and she also bought a book about medicinal materials herself, so now they also know a lot of medicinal materials. In the past two years, in addition to selling pigs and chickens to save money, she has also earned several taels of silver by selling herbs.

At the end of October, the two went down the mountain to grind some rice and noodles and sell the medicinal herbs, and bought some meat and other things, and then did not go down the mountain. It wasn't until the New Year that I went down to the mountains to sell pigs and buy some things needed for the New Year. So far this year, she has saved about thirty-four or five taels of silver, and Li Bokang has spent twenty or thirty taels of silver on studying in the past few years.

Now that someone is starting to find out that they live on this mountain, she has to speed up the purchase of the mountain. However, the family's money is not enough, and there is no way to make money quickly at present, so she is starting to be a little anxious. But this didn't happen overnight, so she slowly relaxed her mentality, and the most important thing was not to let Li Bokang know what she thought, otherwise she was afraid that he would think about it.

This year, the two of them had a very rich New Year, chicken, duck and fish, in addition to duck, there are all kinds of melons, fruits, snacks, wine, spring couplets and everything. On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the dinner table was full of mushroom stewed chicken, braised fish, white meat with garlic, spicy chicken, fried pumpkin slices and pumpkin pie. The two drank while talking, and both of them were very happy, so they drank more, probably because they drank too much, and Li Bokang brought up the incident of Wu Ruixuan again.

He said drunkly: "Xue'er, do you know that I was really worried that you would agree to Mr. Wu's proposal to marry, but I didn't dare to say that I wouldn't let you think about it, and I was very uneasy every day after saying those words." I'm afraid that you don't like me, that you dislike me, that you will be angry, and that we will not live so harmoniously from now on. I was afraid, I was really scared and really worried, and now I'm really grounded. Although you didn't respond to me, you didn't promise Mr. Wu either, didn't you, so at least it proves that I still have a chance, and I still have some place in your heart. Cher, I really like you, I will be very good to you, you really think about me. As soon as he finished speaking, he fell asleep on the edge of the table.

After listening to his words and seeing him now, she knew that he was drunk, but she still stopped eating and drinking. Thinking back to her reply to Wu Ruixuan before: Mr. Wu, please forgive me for not being able to promise you, Mr. You, I have thought about it again and again, it's not that Mr. is not good or that I am not worthy of Mr., I have no confidence that I can face the life after being with Mr., Mr. deserves to meet better people. And I'm Bokang's sister, if we are together, it will not be good for Mr. and Bokang's reputation in the future, it's mine, please forgive me. In the end, Mr. Wang married a good wife as soon as possible and succeeded in the exam.

Thinking of this, she sighed deeply again, Mr. Wu is very good and can only miss it. After sitting for a while, he got up and helped Li Bokang back to his room, fetched water to wipe his face and cover him with a quilt. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he didn't think that the other party would turn around and hug her, and murmured in his mouth: "I really like you very much, you just accept me, I will definitely be good to you, don't you like me?" I can feel that you have me in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have rejected sir, would you? Don't you like me? She was stunned when she heard these words, and then she reached out and broke his hand and went out.
