Since it was decided that Chu Xia would go back to live, Xiangling immediately went to the old house to clean up, and tried her best to let her brother live appropriately.

Because it wasn't too long when she moved away, Xiangling only wiped the floating ash, burned firewood to bake the kang, spread the wool felt, laid the mattress, and made the kang comfortable, fluffy and soft, and then went to Li Shishi's house again.

Li Shishi was not at home, Li told Xiangling to see Liu Xiwang, and Xiangling went to Liu Xiwang's house again.

Hearing that they were going to accompany Chu Xia back to the old house to live for a few days, Li Shishi and Liu Xiwang were like Sun Wukong getting rid of the divine palm of the Buddha, and they were so happy that they raised their hands and feet in approval.

What surprised Xiangling the most was Liu's family, who agreed as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and immediately rolled up the covers for his son, took his clothes, and a little bit of sweeping his son out of the house, which was very different from the original attitude, which made Liu Xiwang a little uncomfortable.

When they arrived at Xiangling's house, several people discussed for a while, then used a bamboo pole to wear a chair, and carried Chu Xia back to the old house like a slide bar.

In this way, Chu Xia was moved back to the old mansion.

Xiangling made lunch.

The basket of river shrimp that Ge Changlin helped to beat yesterday was soaked in the river water by the Jiang family, and he was still salivating and panting.

Xiangling soaked the shrimp in salted water, soaked it for a while, boiled it in water until it was seven or eight minutes cooked, then took it out and let it cool, and then fried it in the pot until it was fried eighty percent dry, and a small jar of shrimp skin was ready.

In the future, you can use a meal or soup to make freshness, and it won't be bad for a year.

Xiangling walked around the vegetable field, looked at the half-green gourd, picked a gourd, and fried it with shrimp skin;

Remembering the gourd strips he had eaten in his previous life, he decided to take the time to ask the blacksmith to embed a piece of iron in the chopsticks to make a simple tool to cut the gourd into gourd strips and dry them, so that they could be eaten for a long time.

The day before yesterday, I made beef jerky and chicken rice, each with a plate, and finally made a cucumber slice egg soup.

The staple food is white flour steamed buns.

Seeing that Xiangling was so busy that he was sweating, the Jiang family went to send a small handful of shrimp skin to the He family, Su Xiaoman took the initiative to say: "Xiangling, I know the location of the old mansion, I'll help you deliver food." ”

Xiangling shook her head busily and said, "You are a guest, how can there be any reason for you to deliver food?" Besides, if I meet a bad person, how can I explain it to your father and your brother? ”

Su Xiaoman glanced at Liu'er, the new maid beside her who was stronger than the man's body, and said stupidly: "Xiangling, look at Liu'er's appearance, can someone bully me casually?" Besides, Chujia Village is such a big place, and the houses are next to each other, which unsightly bad guy comes to make it bad all day and day? If you want me to say, don't treat me as a guest in the future, just treat me as your cousin or cousin, and try to tell me as much as you can. ”

Xiangling smiled, solemnly handed the basket into Su Xiaoman's hands, and said with a teasing smile: "You really want me to treat you as a cousin or cousin?" I can tell you that my relationship with my cousin and cousin is so good that it almost slaps each other......."

Su Xiaoman glanced at Xiangling and said sarcastically: "Don't lie to me, don't forget, your cousin works at 'Su Xiang Jinxiu', and she told me a lot of your stinky things......"

Xiangling suddenly, she only thought of her cousin Jiang Fenfang, who had a bad relationship with her, and her cousins Chu Xiangwei and Chu Xiangqing, but she forgot about her cousin Jiang Shufang's three sisters, who had a good relationship, and Jiang Shufang was introduced to 'Suxiang Jinxiu' by her.

Xiangling scratched her head in embarrassment, called Xiao Xianglian over, and asked her to take her short legs, lead Su Xiaoman and the maid Liu'er, and go to the old house to deliver food to Chu Xia, Li Shishi and Liu Xiwang, so that she, the eldest lady, could truly experience the farmhouse.

.

Su Xiaoman came to the old mansion, pushed open the door, and found that the door was open, and the courtyard was quiet.

knocked on the door, and Chu Xia's pure voice came from inside: "Is it Xiangling?" I can smell the food, and the worms in my stomach are about to crawl out. ”

Xiao Xianglian pushed open the door, ran straight into the house, climbed onto the kang, and said to Chu Xia: "Brother, you guessed wrong this time, it's not my sister, it's Sister Su." ”

Chu Xia's face was stunned, and then his face turned red.

Seeing that Su Xiaoman hadn't entered the house for a long time, Xiao Xianglian immediately got off the kang again, walked out of the house with her little short legs, and pulled Su Xiaoman into the house and said, "Sister Su, hurry up and set the meal, the gluttonous worms in my brother's stomach are about to crawl out." ”

Liu Er stepped forward to stop her, but was stopped by Su Xiaoman's look, she is the daughter of a businessman, she is not a lady, and she does not have the stinky problem of the eldest lady, when she comes, she has to follow the customs of the locals, and let the maid do everything for her, but it makes the relationship unfamiliar and annoying.

Seeing Su Xiaoman being dragged into the house, Chu Xia glared at Xiao Lianlian with disgust, and couldn't bear to scold her, so she could only turn red and shy, and she didn't even dare to look at Su Xiaoman, and the scene of seeing Su Xiaoman for the first time came to mind.

At that time, her eyes were half open and half squinted, which was completely different from the imaginary eldest lady, not demure at all, but a little more playful.

Su Xiaoman was less twisted than the first time they met, a little more swayed, took out the dishes in the basket one by one, put them on the kang table, and explained: "This is the amount of three people, what about Li Shishi and Liu Xiwang's people?" Won't leave you alone at home, will you? ”

"They didn't leave me alone, they went...... They have something to do and go out for a while......"

Chu Xia's face turned red, and he replied faintly, then lowered his head, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, picked up chopsticks, buried his head in eating steamed buns, and didn't even dare to clip the dishes.

Su Xiaoman had seen Chu Xia three times in total, and the only impression left on Su Xiaoman was that every time he glanced at himself, he would quickly bow his head, as if his eyes were burned by the firelight, and those eyes were full of curiosity and purity.

Su Xiaoman suddenly felt funny, this man of the same age as himself was even shyer than his eldest girl.

Su Xiaoman pondered for a long time and said to Chu Xia: "Thank you." ”

"Huh?" Chu Xia was a little confused, and didn't know why Su Xiaoman suddenly thanked him.

Su Xiaoman smiled: "I thank you for proposing to change the house, otherwise, I would be the one who lives here." ”

Chu Xia shook his head straightforwardly and said: "Miss Su doesn't have to take it to heart, if you want to say thank you, it should be me who thank you, the quilt I am building now is still from Sujiabuzhuang." ”

Su Xiaoman's eyes lit up and smiled: "Then you have to thank me, the embroidered quilts taken out by Sujia Buzhuang are all embroidered by the embroidery girl, only the embroidered quilt for the Chu family, the mandarin duck on it is embroidered by me personally, and the lotus leaf under the mandarin duck is faintly embroidered with butterfly flowers, which is the mark of my embroidery." ”

"You embroidered it yourself?" Chu Xia suddenly had a strange feeling, although he knew that the other party opened an embroidery village and it was a matter of course to sell embroidery, but he always felt a little abrupt when he slept with a mandarin duck embroidered by a girl's family.

The two men suddenly fell silent, and the air fell into unprecedented silence.

At this moment, Liu Xiwang's shout sounded outside the door: "Brother Xia, I found a gong bucket made of bamboo, and a stone found a gong bucket made of wood, do you want to use bamboo or wood?" ”

Chu Xia's face immediately changed, and he yelled at the approaching footsteps: "Don't come in!! ”

Su Xiaoman's face also turned red, and he finally knew why Liu Xiwang and Li Shishi were not there just now, because they forgot to take the toilet when they moved, and these two people went to find Gong Bucket, but they had a dispute over whether it was made of bamboo or wood.

The two goods obviously didn't understand what Chu Xia meant, and one of them entered the house with a bucket, and when they saw the food on the table and Su Xiaoman standing next to him, they greeted awkwardly: "Su, Miss Su." ”

Su Xiaoman nodded and hurriedly walked out of the house, Liu Er glared at Liu Xiwang and Li Shishi fiercely, and chased the young lady away.

And Chu Xia was embarrassed to cut off the wall skin and stuff the two good brothers.
