In the dark, Luo Li's eyes flickered slightly, "Does your family know what you did to the second uncle?" ”

"I don't know, and I don't want them to know."

"Okay, I'll keep it secret for you, I have something to do tomorrow, you go home quickly."

"Oh!" Helan Yue answered, picked up the empty dishes and chopsticks and went home obediently.

Luo Li watched her enter the courtyard all the time, and then muttered to himself: "Wait, wait a little longer, I can go to see your family." ”

The next day, early in the morning.

The third uncle left after eating the morning food.

As usual, the He family continued to dig in the field for half a summer and pull weeds, not caring at all about the ridicule and ridicule of the villagers.

Helan Yue would take time to stay at her husband's place for an hour to learn chess at noon every day.

After Mrs. He found out, she asked her to rest at home for half an hour before going to the ground, but He Lanyue felt that she was physically able to eat and refused.

The half-summer at home is piling up more and more.

They borrowed several large vats from the grandmother's house next door and a few acquaintances.

In the middle of summer, soak in water, and change the water once a day in the morning and evening.

The family took turns to fetch water from the stream behind the house every day to change the water for Banxia.

I'm tired, but I'm looking forward to it.

Finally, on the evening of the seventh day, a layer of white foam appeared on the surface of the water soaked in Banxia, and it was ready to be boiled for Banxia at this time.

Two stoves are on fire together, and two pots can be boiled at a time.

Scoop the drained water into the pot until it is seven or eight minutes full, mix it with water, then add an appropriate amount of alum, boil over high heat first, turn to low heat and cook, during which it should be turned and stirred from time to time.

After boiling for an hour and a half, when there is no white heart in the middle of the summer, this is considered to be cooked and can be fished out.

Pour it into a dustpan and spread it out, and take it out to dry tomorrow.

After boiling two more pots, the first batch of Banxia was all processed.

Although everyone believes in the husband of the Helan Yue sisters.

But when I saw that the yard at home was full of piles, and the water tank was soaked in Banxia, I still had some worries in my heart, afraid of failure.

Following.

The He family dried the boiled half summer all over the yard, and went to the ground.

In the past few days, all the grass in the field has been pulled, and they have concentrated on digging for half a summer.

After digging in their own fields, they got the permission of the patriarch and Li Zheng to dig up for half a summer in the other fields of the village.

They dug up all the big and small lands in their own homes, but when they went to other people's fields, they only picked the big ones to dig.

The small one will be big in a few days and keep it for the owner's family.

And just like that, it was busy for another three days.

By the fourth day, the first batch of Banxia was sixty percent dry, and it was finally ready to be sliced.

I had two knives at home, and I borrowed two more from my grandmother's house.

Everyone was full of excitement and cut Banxia into slices, thinking that they would know if they could get money when they were sent to the town tomorrow.

It was busy until ten o'clock in the evening, and Mrs. He persuaded everyone to rest.

The next day, the third aunt took Helan Yue and Xiaoshi, and they also carried twenty catties of cut Banxia on their backs, preparing to go to the town to find the third uncle.

The two set off at the beginning of Chenchu and prepared to go to the entrance of the village to take an ox cart.

When they were still more than ten meters away from the entrance of the village, they met Luo Li, who was walking towards them.

Helan Yue was about to greet him, but Luo Li spoke first.

"The third sister-in-law of the He family, my name is Luo Li, and I asked you to help make a cheongsam before."

Yang said with a smile: "Oh, it's you, the clothes have been made, I went to your house twice, and you are not at home, I am worried and don't know what to do?" ”

"I sometimes live in the county seat, and I come here just to hunt and have a leisurely life, and I live for less time."

Luo Li now has a new identity and a new set of words.

"Your home is in the county seat?"

"Yes, the side branch of the Hongnong Zhuang family, I am the nephew of Mr. Zhuang Yuanli, my mother died early, and I was sent to my grandfather's house.

Yang has also met him a few times over the years, although the people in the village say that he is hunting, but this young man has always been wearing fine cotton, and his noble temperament cannot be concealed.

People in the village may not be able to see it, but before she got married, she followed her father to meet some dignitaries at the dock.

In this way, by mistake, the Yang family actually believed Luo Li's identity.

Luo Li also knew that this was wrong, but he really didn't want to be recognized by Mrs. He and turn him away forever.

As long as he has an obvious identity, Mrs. He should not associate him with herself back then, let alone think that he is that child.

So that he could continue to follow the girl.

In the past, the girl was afraid of him, and he was only ready to protect her silently.

But now that this girl is willing to be close to him, then he is more willing to go to the open to protect her.

When Yang heard Luo Li's life experience, his voice softened a little softer, "When you live here in the future, if you want to help, just say it, don't send anything more, you and Yue'er are not much different, just call me the third aunt like her." ”

"Third aunt."

"Hey!"

"Third aunt, are you going to the town?"

"Yes, I'll wait for you to come back and let Dashan send you over."

"Don't worry, I also want to go to the town, and I'm on the same road as you, the carriage is already full of people, so let's take the path from the mountain, faster than them."

"But ......"

Yang thought that there would be wolves on the path, but she was not afraid of this young man, she looked at He Lanyue with some concern.

The moon girl is still carrying twenty pounds of things on her back, if she walks on the mountain road, she is afraid that her small body will not be able to carry it.

"I'll help Sister Yue'er carry something." Luo Li said, took the back basket that He Lanyue was carrying, and carried it on his back.

"Won't that be too much of a hassle for you?"

"No, it won't."

Luo Li carried the basket on his back and walked straight to the side of the path.

He Lanyue took the small stone in the third aunt's arms and followed.

Although it is a little difficult to walk on the mountain road, compared with taking an ox cart, Helan Yue still prefers to walk on the mountain road.

Ride on an ox cart for an hour, and the whole person will really be turned upside down.

The air on the mountain road is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, which makes people feel relaxed and invigorated.

When passing by a pine forest, Helan Yue picked up a large bag of pine mushrooms, and Yang was stunned when she looked at it from behind, as if there would be pine mushrooms wherever she passed.

She really didn't know when the pine mushrooms were so easy to pick.

Xiao Shi was very well-behaved all the way, and followed Helan Yue behind him for a while, and Luo Li didn't recognize him when he hugged him.

There are always endless questions in his mouth, and he especially likes to ask Helan Yue's questions.

Helan Yue was asked along the way, one of the first two big.

In about half an hour they were in town.

Yang took them to the shop where the third uncle worked.
