Chapter 390: Silk Flower
Chapter 390: Silk Flowers
The road on the Guanwu side is very solid, the flat places are smooth, and the places with ramps are also made into steps. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ Shou @ Fa" Guan Wen and Guan Wu went to see this trail that had been studied and discussed many times, and after looking around, the two brothers discussed for a while, and Guan Wu said goodbye and said that he wanted to go back.
Turning around and pausing again, Guan Wu turned back to Guan Wen and said, "Big brother, did Dad come to trouble you today?" ”
Guan Wen hesitated slightly, paused before replying: "People came once, and then left." ”
"Gone?" Guan Wu was slightly surprised: "He didn't make a fuss?" ”
"Nope."
Guan Wu was a little surprised by Guan Wen's answer, but it didn't seem like the eldest brother's house had been troubled, and the eldest brother wouldn't tell him the truth.
Guan Wu picked his head and said, "It's good if you don't make a fuss......" But he thought in his heart, how could it be, according to his father's temperament, shouldn't he make people turn over on their backs?
His eyes were straight, but he didn't think much of it, and went back.
Guan Wen looked at the sky, walked and measured the ground in the yard again, and stepped on it hard at one point. Yang'er swept the floor and swept to the slope, and saw Guan Wen stomping his feet there and hurriedly said, "Dad, don't rub the mud!" Yang Er just swept it clean! ”
"What's wrong?" Li Xin walked out, and when he heard what Yang'er said, he immediately looked at Guan Wen with a smile, and Guan Wen also said with a funny face: "Dad didn't stain Yang'er, even if it was dirty, Dad cleaned Yang'er, okay?" ”
Yang'er's face puffed up on both sides, and he snorted twice and said, "Dad has to talk about it." ”
Guan Wen nodded vigorously in agreement, and Yang'er continued to sweep the floor with a broom with satisfaction.
"This place is not also muddy, the weather is dry and hard when it rains, and it is swept in vain when it rains." Guan Wen approached Li Xin softly and said with a smile.
"Yang'er didn't think about it so much, just follow his wishes, the little baby loves to be clean and cherishes the fruits of labor, which is worth encouraging." Li Xinyan smiled, looked around the courtyard, and asked, "Have you thought about the cellar?" ”
"Hmm. In two days, I will find the master to help us dig in detail, I see this place is okay. ”
Guan Wen nodded, and looked at Li Xin with a smile: "Ming'er is in a hurry, you didn't say that you were going to sell the rabbit." I won't feed it in the future, and the older chickens will be sold? If you don't know, go for it. ”
Li Xin smiled and said, "Actually, it's not that rushed." ”
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, but since I thought of it, let's hurry up. It just so happened that the rabbit shed was vacated, and it could be moved without taking up much space. ”
Li Xin thought about it, since he had to dig a cellar. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ Shou @ Fa" The rabbit shed is really in the way there. Then he answered, and called out again.
Erhei ran out in a long way, stopped after circling Li Xin a few times, and looked at her slightly with an innocent expression.
Guan Wen smiled: "I haven't seen it much in the past few days." ”
"It's used to running around, and it's up to it, and this place is big enough anyway."
Li Xin reached out and scratched Erhei's ears and said, "I also asked you to show us the nursing home." I can't see anyone all day long, and the bigger I get, the more I like to run out, and I don't go home. ”
Erhei naturally couldn't understand Li Xin's words. Li Xin scratched it to make it comfortable, and it just squinted and rubbed in the direction of Li Xin's hand.
Guan Wen said: "I'm going to take grandpa out, it's almost dinner, right?" ”
"Well, it'll be fine right away."
After dinner, Guan Wen took the cage and put the rabbits into it one by one. Li Xin picked up the eggs laid by the hens, caught the hens who were a little old, and came out and put them in cages. More than a dozen rabbits on the other side of the rabbit shed were lying on the ground in snow white, and Yang Er picked a rotten vegetable leaf and squatted in front of one of the cages, and stretched out his hand to feed the rabbits, his eyes were red.
Li Xin walked over and put the chicken coop on the table, and heard Yang'er sobbing. Squatted down and said, "Yang'er is a man, you can't cry." ”
"Why did my mother sell all the little rabbits?" Yang'er turned her head to look at Li Xin, her little face was slightly wrinkled, and her clear eyes were like stars twinkling in the sky at night.
Li Xin said: "Because my mother and sister-in-law are not good at feeding rabbits, and it takes a lot of energy to take care of them, my mother can't spare time." So I had to sell them all. Li Xin touched Yang'er's head and said, "Besides, Yang'er wants to eat, dress, read and write, and my mother sells them, so that Yang'er can have money to live a better life." ”
Yang'er hurriedly said: "That Yang'er eats poorly and wears poorly, and it is okay to practice calligraphy on the stone board!" ”
Li Xin smiled and asked him, "Is Yang'er reluctant to be a little rabbit?" ”
Yang'er nodded with a sob.
"Yang'er is a kind and good boy." Li Xin held Yang'er's little face, and said to him with a smile: "But Yang'er, leaving rabbits at home, just feeding them, taking care of them, and cleaning up these poops for them is a very tedious and tiring thing, and you can't get any benefits." The mother and sister-in-law are very tired, and Yang'er is too young to take care of them. Zuzu and his father, mother, sister-in-law, and Yang'er, all have to eat, right? We went to take care of Tutu, and we had no food to eat, so we were even more miserable. ”
Yang'er looked at Li Xin, her nose still twitching.
Li Xin smiled: "Yang'er is good, when Yang'er grows up, she can take care of the rabbits, and then my mother will ask my father to catch the rabbits for you and come back and let Yang'er take care of them, okay?" ”
"That'...... That mother also has to talk and count. ”
"Mother must be counting."
After appeasing Yang'er, Li Xin took him to wash up, and then sent him to sleep. Ah Mei proposed to let Yang'er sleep with her for one night, and Li Xin agreed.
Ah Mei said: "Sister-in-law wants to open a separate room for Yang'er, so it is better to arrange the fifth sister's room as Yang'er's room." As for the fifth sister, wouldn't it be enough to come back and let her live with me? ”
Li Xin smiled and said, "It's feasible now, but when you get married and come back with your uncle, won't this house still be enough?" ”
Ah Mei blushed suddenly, and Li Xin smiled: "You can use this suggestion now, and it's okay for a year and a half." As he spoke, he looked around at the courtyard structure of the house and said, "I didn't think too much about the house at first, but now I think there are too few rooms in this house." ”
Li Xin pondered, should we add another floor to the back of the hall? It just so happens that there is an open space there, and she thinks it's empty!
"Go to bed early, I'll go to town with your eldest brother tomorrow morning and sell those rabbits and chickens."
Ah Mei nodded, and Li Xin said again: "The old hen kept one, or let it stay in the chicken shed, and a red rope was tied to her feet." Tomorrow morning, you go and talk to your second brother and sister-in-law. Let them come over for dinner at night, and come back to stew hen soup for grandpa and your second sister-in-law to replenish their bodies. You caught the hook on the side of the chicken, don't feed it. ”
"I know sister-in-law."
After explaining the matter, they went to sleep without mentioning it.
The next morning, Guan Wen and Li Xin got up. Guan Wen took the flat pole, picked the chicken on one side and the rabbit on the other, and Li Xin followed behind with two rabbit cages that were not installed, and got into an ox cart in the village that was about to go to the town.
Selling chickens and rabbits was very smooth, and it happened to be a restaurant doing big business, so I didn't bargain with Guan Wen and them to buy the chickens. Rabbits were also bought one after another. The bamboo cage is a gift from Guan Wen, and after selling out the chickens and rabbits, the two of them are relaxed.
Li Xin counted the money in his hand and smiled slightly.
Guan Wen instructed her to put the money away, looked at the sky and said, "Sell out earlier than expected, and go back now?" ”
Li Xin nodded and said, "There's nothing else to do, let's go back to the town now, rent a donkey cart and rush back." ”
"It's not enough for lunch."
"It's okay, I'll just eat some. You can still eat well at night with an empty stomach. ”
Guan Wen took Li Xin's hand and walked towards the entrance of the town, surrounded by hawkers and roadside merchants selling flowers and hairpins. Guan Wen stopped and pulled Li Xin and said, "Buy a hairpin and go back?" ”
Li Xin immediately pulled him and said, "What do you do when you buy that." I don't like to dress up. After thinking about it, he said, "But you can buy it, take it back to Ah Mei." ”
Guan Wen raised his eyebrows, and Li Xin smiled: "I haven't visited the Wei family since I told the Wei family about the engagement, I think I'll come to the town to see your fourth brother and them in two days anyway, and I'll go to the Wei family by the way." When the time comes, let Ah Mei dress up plain and generous. In the end, it's a young girl, buy her a hairpin or hairpin ring or something, let her dress up well, Aunt Wei likes it, and Wei Shusheng also ...... over there"
Li Xin lightly bumped Guan Wen's arm and winked at him: "Got it, right?" ”
Guan Wen couldn't laugh or cry. But he was a little sad for a while, took Li Xin's hand and said, "With me, you have never dressed up much......"
He suddenly thought that Li Xin was also a flower in Lijia Village before she was abducted into the kiln by the unscrupulous traffickers, and he had vaguely heard that her appearance in the kiln was also middle-class, and she must have to dress up at that time. She doesn't dress up now. Is it because of ...... Afraid that the mirror makeup will remind you of those pasts?
Guan Wen looked at Li Xin and couldn't help but reach out and wrap his hand around her shoulder.
Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and immediately pushed Guan Wen: "What are you doing, ...... on this street?"
"What are you afraid of, we are husband and wife."
Guan Wen smiled at Li Xin, hugged her and walked to the merchant, who immediately smiled and asked, "What do you two want to see?" I have rouge gouache and hairpins here, big brother, buy a pair for your daughter-in-law? ”
Li Xin smiled, and Guan Wen carefully selected a silver hairpin and two beaded flowers, looked at it again, picked up a flower made of fine silk, and turned around to compare it to Li Xin's wooden hairpin.
Li Xin was slightly stunned, Guan Wen looked at her with a smile, and said, "This is good-looking." ”
"What am I doing wearing this...... Li Xin blushed slightly, but the corners of her mouth still bent involuntarily.
The merchant next to him naturally said jokingly: "Little lady, your man loves you!" There aren't many men who usually buy women's jewelry for their daughters-in-law from me! ”
Guan Wen paid the price, and the merchant also took a plain handkerchief for him to wrap all the jewelry. Guan Wen took out the silk flower, wrapped the rest in his arms, but tied the silk flower to Li Xin behind the hairpin.
"What are you doing...... Li Xin was naturally embarrassed, Guan Wen smiled: "It's good-looking." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Li Xin to the entrance of the town, but when he was about to get close to the entrance of the town, he saw his acquaintance Shen Siye. (To be continued) RQ
