Xiao Nanshan walked over, took the cloth towel on the shelf next to him and draped it over her, "Ning Xi." ”

No response.

He reached out and shook her shoulder, "Wake up." ”

"Huh?" Ning Xi opened his eyes and yawned, "I'm asleep?" ”

Xiao Nanshan nodded, "The water is cold, you come out by yourself." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

Ning Xi got up, dried his body, got dressed, and returned to the bed, and then shouted to the outside.

"Brother Xiao, I'm done."

Xiao Nanshan pushed the door in, and handled the water in the bath bucket without saying a word, and when he came back, Ning Xi found that he had already taken a bath.

Ning Xi hugged the quilt and asked him, "Where do you sleep?" ”

Xiao Nanshan took out another quilt from the cabinet and threw it on the low couch by the window, "This." ”

Ning Xi raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect him to really regard marriage as a transaction.

She nodded, "Whatever you want." ”

Xiao Nanshan noticed her obscure emotions, and a strange feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

……

The next morning, Ning Xi got up early to cook, and really responded to her sentence, and she would take care of the family when she got married.

She sat on the edge of the well, dug into the meat filling with a bamboo skewer, quickly rubbed the wonton skin, and with a pinch of both hands, a round and reddish wonton fell into the wooden plate.

It didn't take long for dozens of wontons to fall into a soup made from chicken bones and boil with a gurgle.

Xiao Nanshan was repairing hoes in the yard, and when Old Man Xiao came out of the house, one by one the wontons floated.

She shouted "grandfather" to Old Man Xiao with Xiao Nanshan, and asked them to come over to eat wontons.

The steaming wontons came out of the pot, she sprinkled a small handful of chopped green onions, and Xiao Nanshan came over and brought the wontons out.

Old Man Xiao was full of praise when he ate it.

Xiao Nanshan put down the bowl and looked up at Ning Xi, "I'll go to the east of the village to hoe, and you don't have to wait for me for lunch." ”

This is a tacit acquiescence to let her be at home and not have to go out with him to do rough work.

Ning Xi nodded.

She thought that now that the weather was hot, it would be difficult to prepare food from the village and then transport it to the city to sell.

Now she has a sum of money in her hand, but it is far from enough to support her to rent a shop in the city, not to mention, now she has to take care of Grandpa Xiao, and it is impossible to stay in the city all the time and not come back.

Therefore, she put aside the matter of selling things for the time being, since she married into the Xiao family, the most important thing is to improve the life of the Xiao family first.

Although Xiao Nanshan is very capable, he is a good hunter and farmer, and it is estimated that he has saved a lot of money in hand.

But his life is really rough, he doesn't pay attention to eating and drinking, and it is estimated that he will not come back for lunch.

Ning Xi saw that it was still early, so he went to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables.

I really didn't expect that a pheasant was sent to her, at least two or three catties.

Ning Xi thought about it, it must be that her luck was in place, otherwise she would not have had such good luck to get a chicken for a walk on the mountain.

Xiao Nanshan can hunt, and she must be able to eat meat in Xiao's family, but most of the hunting he hunts is taken to the city and sold, and part of the money from the sale is saved, and part of it is used to buy medicine for Grandpa Xiao.

On the way back, she also picked a lot of chubby mulberries, which were sweet and sour, and especially to cool off.

Back at home, Ning Xi disposed of pheasants and taro dug up from the mountains in the yard.

Wash the taro, peel and cut it into pieces, and it will be itchy if you don't pay attention to it.

Once the pheasant meat has been marinated, stir-fry it in hot oil.

In this era, the seasoning is simple, and she still adds green onions, ginger, garlic and chili peppers to the greatest extent to stir-fry the pheasant meat fragrantly.

During this period, another pot was cooking, and she beat two eggs to make a bowl of steamed eggs for Grandpa Xiao.

The mulberries she picked were mashed into juice, boiled in sugary water, and finally hung into a well and chilled.

It was the busy farming season, and the weather was hot, so after Ning Xi had lunch with Grandpa Xiao at home, he put another meal in a basket and went out.

It was easy to find Xiao Nanshan, he was tall, and he could lock his figure at a glance.

At this time, it was lunch time, and many villagers were resting and eating in the shade of the trees in the fields.

Most people eat steamed buns and catch water, and some people eat the meals sent by their families.

Ning Xi saw Xiao Nanshan sitting alone under a big tree to drink water, she walked over, "Brother Xiao, I'll bring you food." ”

Xiao Nanshan looked up, and there were also many people who were resting around.

He stood up and walked over, blocking the other people's gazes, "You don't have to come here. ”

Ning Xi sat down at the top of the tree and handed over the bamboo basket, "Send food, you have the strength to work when you are full." ”

Xiao Nanshan was silent, frowning slightly, he had never dealt with such a thing, "I will do the same when I go back after work."

"It's different." Ning Xi interrupted him, "You are the pillar of the family, if you are hungry and your body is broken, who will support me?" ”

Xiao Nanshan didn't expect her to say such a thing, and was stunned for a moment.

He took the basket and looked down at her slightly, "You go home first." ”

"Don't worry, I'll leave when you're done eating, and take the dishes and chopsticks home to wash them by the way." Ning Xi took two steps towards the tree.

Xiao Nanshan was silent, sat down on the tree, and took out the food inside

The aroma of the roast taro chicken instantly penetrates into the nose, and the rice underneath is poured into the fragrant soup, which can't help but make people appetize.

However, he looked at Ning Xi first, "You went up the mountain?" ”

Otherwise, where did the pheasant come from?

The prey he hunted before was either sold, or used up for wine, and he didn't have time to hunt in the mountains for a while, so where did this pheasant meat come from?

Ning Xi could hear that Xiao Nanshan already knew, so he said "um".

Xiao Nanshan looked at her lowered head, "As I said before, you don't have to do heavy work in the Xiao family."

Looking at her lowered head, and then at her crossed and pinched hands, she suddenly became a little speechless, and subconsciously slowed down her tone.

"It's very dangerous in the mountains, and after a few days of working in the fields, I went hunting, and the pheasants and hares were left behind, and they were not sold."

Ning Xi raised his eyes to look at Xiao Nanshan, and when he saw his calm appearance, he nodded, "Eat quickly, the food is cold, try my craftsmanship." ”

Xiao Nanshan saw her smile and lowered his head to eat.

There are a few pieces of taro sandwiched between the full pile of chicken, and even the rice underneath is fragrant.

Without saying a word, he began to gulp.

The eyes of many people around him fell on his food, smelled the fragrance of the wind, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and then looked at the steamed bun in his hand and suddenly felt that it was not fragrant.

They watched Xiao Nanshan eat in a big gulp, and they really thought that they were Xiao Nanshan and ate that fragrant food.

"That girl is Xiao Nanshan's new wife?"

"Didn't you say that you can't work with crippled hands?"

"Look at the good hands, you can still cook."
