Chapter 66: Cattle and Sheep Match
Having two young and beautiful sisters-in-law is also a sweet burden......
Li Xin popped up in his head, then suppressed his laughter, coughed and said, "I'll go and ask your eldest brother what he means, if he agrees, we will go together at that time." Ah Xiu cheered in a low voice, and got tired of coming to Li Xin's side, "Sister-in-law, you are so good" "Come on, the girl's family must have the appearance of the girl's family, and it is cute to come once in a while, and if you have more, you can do it." Li Xin taught a lesson with a straight face, "Don't hurry up and do needlework, if you have to go the day after tomorrow, see how much dowry you can save for yourself." ”
Ah Mei blushed all of a sudden, and trotted away from the house. Ah Xiu was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that Li Xin was joking with himself, and pouted and scolded with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are playing tricks again!" ”
As he was talking, there was a sound from the other side of the courtyard, but if you listened carefully, it was Guan Wu's voice.
"Fourth brother, come and help me and my eldest brother!" Guan Quan is packing up his clothes, and wants to turn the old ones out and pick them up, after all, he is a person who is going to get married, and he can't be too shabby.
Hearing Guan Wu shouting at him, he quickly put down the things in his hand and ran out with an "ah", and then said in surprise: "Big brother and second brother, you have so good luck today!" ”
Guan Wu said with a smile: "You can have a good meal, just go the day after tomorrow, and you can exchange these things for some silver." I'm really lucky today! ”
Guan Wen didn't say anything, but looking at his slightly narrowed eyes, he knew that he was also very happy in his heart.
Ah Xiu ran out and came to them, and also exclaimed, "Wow! Big brother and second brother, you are going to slander the Orion in the village now! ”
As he spoke, he ran into the stove and pulled Li Xin out, shouting as he pulled: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, this is a muntjac deer!" This muntjac deer isn't too small! ”
Li Xin is very strange, you must know that in her time, the deer was already a national protected animal. Although there are many types of deer, I have never heard of anyone eating venison. She had only seen deer on TV, but she had only seen them in zoos, and they were still kept in cages, and her watery eyes looked particularly pitiful.
Li Xin looked up and saw that the muntjac had probably fallen into the trap and had blood on its legs and feet.
It is estimated that Guan Wen and Guan Wu later made up for it and knocked it unconscious, and now it is lying there quietly, lying on its stomach softly, which is very pitiful.
There are still two dead golden chickens at Guan Wu's feet, the feathers on their bodies are very beautiful, and Guan Wen is still carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, and he doesn't know what it contains.
Guan Wen saw Li Xin, and nodded towards the golden chicken: "Xin'er, take this and clean it up, let's have a good meal, let's have two meals today and tomorrow." Li Xin hurriedly responded and went up to lift the chicken wings. The size of the golden chicken is larger than that of the domestic chicken, and the meat is more delicious, and Li Xin feels that his saliva is about to flow out when he thinks of drinking chicken soup at night.
Seeing that Guan Wen was still carrying the bamboo basket in his hand, Li Xin stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take it, what's in it?" I'll fix it. Guan Wen smiled and said, "Are you sure?" ”
Seeing him like this, Li Xin didn't know what to do, Ah Xiu stepped forward to open the mouth of the bamboo basket and glanced in, "Ah! With a bang, she hurriedly ran back to Li Xin's side and shouted at her eldest brother: "Big brother, you scared me to death!" Guan Wen smiled, and Guan Wu said: "Who asked you to come and see, you girls are just afraid of this thing." "Silky skating is cold, why not be afraid! The thought that this thing could wrap around people's hands, legs, and necks made goosebumps rise all over my body. Ah Xiu hurriedly grabbed Li Xin, "Sister-in-law, there are snakes caught by the eldest brother, there are several!" It's scared to death, let's go farther. "Snake!" Li Xin exclaimed in surprise, immediately took three steps back, lost the chicken in his hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Ah Awen! Snake! ”
Guan Wen didn't expect Li Xin to react so much, and quickly handed the bamboo basket to Guan Wu, then stepped forward to hug her and said, "Are you afraid?" It's okay, it's not poisonous. ,…
"No, it's ...... It's a snake! "God knows that what Li Xin is most afraid of is snakes. She still remembers when she was a child, her father and a few colleagues made an appointment to eat together, and one of the dishes was called "dragon and phoenix soup", which was very delicious, and the meat was very tender and delicious. When she was young, her father gave her meat and she ate it in one go. Halfway through the meal, her mother came over from work, and when she saw her humming and eating meat, she asked her father in surprise, "Why do you give her snake meat?" You don't know she's afraid of snakes? Li Zhen didn't hold back at that time, turned his head and vomited. Since then, she has been very careful when drinking chicken soup, for fear of encountering "dragon and phoenix soup" again
Guan Wen was a little overwhelmed. Although most of Luo's girls seem to be afraid of snakes, Xin'er is too scared!
To say that Li Xin's psychological fear of snakes is true, but the physical reaction is not the original consciousness of the deity. She remembers the past when she went up the mountain to chop wood and was entangled in the legs of snakes when she was a child, so she talked about the snake's color change.
Guan Wen saw that it was useless to comfort her, so he could only instruct Guan Wudao: "You go and record the snake skin, slaughter the snake, and leave a larger one to soak in the wine." ”
Guan Wu immediately complied, and Guan Wen whispered to Li Xin: "It's okay, I can't see it, I'm not afraid......"
Li Xin gradually calmed down his heartbeat, took a deep breath and said, "Awen, I was almost entangled by a snake when I was a child, I'm afraid that if you eat that thing, don't show it to me.................."
Generally speaking, Guan Wen and Guan Wu hunted wild animals, either to sell them or to improve the food for their families. He has caught a lot of snakes, because the snake meat is delicious, and it is usually roasted and eaten, and the oil is particularly delicious. Li Xin is afraid of snakes, and if he doesn't eat snake meat, there is no way, Guan Wen nodded and said, "Then I'll let the second brother rectify it, just don't go to see it." ”
"Uh-huh, wait!" Li Xin called Guan Wen, "I'll simmer a chicken soup to drink at night, and put it evenly out and boil it with snake meat, the taste is fresher, and it's nourishing, let grandpa drink more." Ah Mei is weak, if Ah Mei is not afraid, let Ah Mei drink some"
Guan Wen naturally has no opinion, he is used to eating his daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, and he is already thinking about the food.
Ah Xiu helped Li Xin to sit in front of the stove, Guan Wen Guan Quan slipped in and put the muntjac and the golden chicken aside, Guan Quan said: "Big brother, you want to keep this muntjac, and take it to the market to sell it the day after tomorrow, right?" ”
Guan Wen nodded, scooped water into the basin and rubbed his face, "This muntjac can be sold for a tael of silver, right?" If the price can be higher, the two sons can go up. When we see how the buyer bids, how do we counteroffer. ”
The brothers were discussing how to price this muntjac deer when the time came, and Guan Ming walked in slowly, with some blue under his eyes, probably because he was taking care of Guan Zhicheng. When he saw the golden pheasant and muntjac deer on the ground, his eyes lit up, and he immediately coughed, and said, "Aven, this is what I went to hunt today?" ”
Since Guan Wen beat Guan Zhicheng that day, Guan Wen's attitude towards his father was not salty or light, and when he asked, he only replied lightly: "Well, I went up the mountain with my second brother to catch it." ”
"That night, boil a soup for your sixth brother to make up for his body, you beat it, and after being the eldest brother, you still have to protect your brother, he is weak, and he has to make up for it."
After speaking, he went out leisurely, and took two oil cakes and fruits on the large board opposite the stove.
Ah Xiu snorted lightly, pulled the firewood between the stoves, looked at the sky, lit the fire, put firewood to burn the stove, and scooped the water into the pot to boil the water first. turned around and poured a cup of hot tea for Li Xin, and said softly, "Sister-in-law, suppress the shock." ”
Li Xin nodded, Guan Wen walked over to her, and asked worriedly, "Still uncomfortable?" ”
"Li Xin shook his head, "It's fine for a while, don't worry." ”
"Sister-in-law, I'll get the pheasant, you can rest for a while." Ah Xiu said softly, and glanced at Guan Wen again: "Big brother, you accompany your sister-in-law!" ”
Guan Wen should naturally be.
Guan Quan and Ah Xiu were busy picking up chickens, and Guan Quan tied the unconscious muntjac and put it on the stilt, planning to feed and water it when it woke up.
Guan Wu was also busy recording the snake and cutting it or something.
Guan Wen sat beside Li Xin, took her in his arms, and sighed softly, "Xin'er, I didn't know you were so afraid of snakes, I also said to tease you, but fortunately I didn't tease you." ”
Li Xin shook his head, lay in his arms and said, "I didn't tell you that you know so well?"
It's none of your business. He rubbed his hand, "I'm just afraid of that thing, it's weak and boneless, and I feel chills when I watch it swing around on the ground, raise its tongue, and spit out snake letters." ”
Guan Wen smiled, calculated carefully, and said: "Your zodiac is a sheep, and it is natural to be afraid of snakes." ”
Li Xin was surprised: "How do you know? ”
"Stupid, don't you know that Aunt Li has put together eight characters for us? Naturally, you know your affiliation. ”
Li Xin suddenly realized: "But I haven't heard Aunt Li mention it." ”
"I only told my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so I probably didn't tell you." Guan Wen hugged her tighter, "Then you don't know what I belong to?" ”
Li Xin nodded honestly, and said with a smile: "I'll count!" Fingers crossed: "Rats, cows, tigers, rabbits, snakes, horses, sheep, monkeys, chickens, dogs, pigs, you belong to sheep, you are five years older than me, so you are...... Cattle? It's a cow, right? ”
Guan Wen smiled and nodded slowly.
"It turns out that you belong to a cow, I said why are you so gentle, it turns out that you have the same temperament as a cow." Li Xin smiled: "Do you know that when I first saw you, I thought you had no anger in your eyes, very peaceful, I couldn't believe it at the time, after all, you have walked through the dart." ”
"The first time you saw me was when you and your mother-in-law visited Huā Village, and it happened to be the day when you met your second brother Husun?"
Li Xin smiled embarrassedly, thinking about punching him, "You obviously heard me talking to Ah Xiu that day, and asked, don't be ashamed!" Concubine Wen smiled, "I just want to hear you say it yourself." ”
The two of them got tired of it for a while, and Li Bancai said to Guan Wenti: "Hurry up the day after tomorrow, you are going to sell that muntjac, right?" ”
Seeing Guan Wen nodding, Li Xin said, "Shall I go with Ah Xiu and Ah Mei?" The two girls probably haven't gone out much to make a fuss. ”
Guan Wen disagreed at first, but Li Xin persuaded him: "It's not good to keep them at home, we are all here, and nothing will happen to them." Who wouldn't want to hang out? It's okay to be their wish. ”
couldn't stand Li Xin's words, Guan Wen still nodded and agreed.
Li Xin smiled and went to Ah Xiu to tell her about it, and the shadow brought to her by the snake was unconsciously forgotten.
