Chapter Twenty-Nine: New Clothes
"Are you alright?" Wu Nian's eyes fell on Liu Xiang's body, and seeing that she was also disgraced, he felt distressed again, and said softly.
That Li family, I really can't get rid of my hatred after a hundred fights.
"It's fine. It's all dirt. Liu Xiang felt concerned and let go of her uneasiness. She reached out and rubbed her sour eyes and said with a smile.
"Hmm. Brother boils water for you, you go take a bath. Wu Nian stretched out his right hand and gave Liu Xiang a touch of the head, and said with a smile. Well, it just feels very bad, it's all dirt.
"How can you let my brother boil water? I'll do it myself. Liu Xiang hurriedly shook her head and said.
As a woman, it is natural to boil water to cook and serve men. The reverse is not so good.
Wu Nian looked at Liu Xiang's expression carefully, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay then." ”
Liu Xiangma went to the kitchen to boil water, she looked into the water tank, and she was also embarrassed by her disgraced appearance.
Wu Nian walked into the kitchen and sat with Liu Xiang to warm the stove.
"Brother. Why did they say that you killed Li Ding? Liu Xiang hadn't been so close to Wu Nian for a long time, and she only felt that her heartbeat was so strong. She thought for a moment, then asked to divert her attention.
"Hmm..... Zhang Yong's family wanted our family's land, and they wronged me. Of course, Wu Nian would not tell Liu Xiang the inside story, and after thinking about it for a while, he said.
"Brother." After hearing this, Liu Xiang was filled with righteous indignation, her eyes widened, her small fists clenched, her teeth gurgled, and she held back for a long time before she said, "Brother, I should have been more ruthless just now and plucked out her hair more." ”
"That's all for our family. She was still thinking. ”
In feudal society.
Up to the princes and ministers, down to the peddlers and pawns.
Tian is the treasure of the heart, the root of life.
Liu Xiang is certainly no exception.
"Forget it. Brother has beaten Li half to death, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out of bed for three months. The evil anger in my brother's heart also came out. She was a little cute like this, Wu Nian smiled and touched her head.
"Hmm."
Liu Xiang snorted, very obedient.
Soon the water was boiling.
Liu Xiang carried the bucket, scooped the hot water and went to the bedroom, and washed it in vain. Wu Nian took advantage of this time to pick up the bucket and go to the well to fetch water.
After filling the water tank, Wu Nian waited in the hall. Soon after. Liu Xiang walked out.
Since going to the barracks, Wu Nian has never seen Liu Xiang again, and looking at the current Liu Xiang, his eyes can't help but light up.
Thought. "My daughter-in-law is so beautiful."
Liu Xiang was a little embarrassed by him, and lowered her head slightly.
"Xiang'er. What about the cloth I bought you? Wu Nian withdrew his eyes and wondered.
When he sold venison, he obviously sold cloth. But she was still wearing her old clothes.
Liu Xiang laughed, went back to the bedroom, and then took out two ready-to-wear clothes. He said as if offering treasures: "Brother, I made you two winter clothes." ”
Wu Nian didn't know what to say for a while. He sighed and said, "Silly daughter-in-law." This is a cloth bought specifically for you. ”
Liu Xiang shook her head and said, "I have clothes." She cleverly opened the topic and said with a smile: "Brother." You put it on and try it to see if it fits. ”
Wu Nian is also helpless, this wood has been completed. You can't change your clothes back, can you?
"Okay." Wu Nian nodded, took off his old battle jacket under Liu Xiang's service, and put on new clothes.
"It fits perfectly. It's like tailor-made. Wu Nian looked down, moved again, and praised.
"Hee-hee." Liu Xiang grinned, her face full of joy.
Suddenly. She lowered her cheeks, lowered her head and grabbed the corners of her clothes, and twisted for a while before saying in an inaudible voice, "Brother." Let's set a date to get married. ”
This sudden paragraph made Wu Nian a little surprised. Of course, he would be happy too. Wife and children hot kang head, how good.
But he took a closer look at Liu Xiang's figure.
A sixteen-year-old girl has never grown up.
What's more, although Liu Xiang has gained a little weight during this time, she is still thin.
Although in the feudal era, it was normal for a woman to get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. But he is not an ancient, after all.
He felt sorry for Liu Xiang.
Wu Nian thought for a moment, pinched Liu Xiang's face with a smile, and said, "Let's go a while." Wait for my brother to tear down this leaky old house and build a blue brick house. Buy a few more acres of land and save some money. A beautiful daughter-in-law. ”
Liu Xiang was a little disappointed.
It was also a long time for her to muster up the courage. Although it is a child daughter-in-law, the woman first proposes to marry, which is ashamed.
But what Wu Nian said is also right, who doesn't like scenery? Now our family is poor. But as long as we work hard.
No. As long as I work hard.
Farming, weaving, needlework. Our family will soon have money.
"Listen to my brother." Liu Xiang's whole person was full of enthusiasm and motivation, nodded heavily, and said with a resolute gaze.
Wu Nian asked for leave from the army and will not go back today.
He saw that there was very little firewood in the house, so he took the flat shoulder and went out of the hundred houses, went up the mountain and came back with some firewood.
When he came back, he went to Zhang's butcher's house and bought some pork back.
If he didn't buy meat for Liu Xiang, she wouldn't buy it herself.
She may even secretly cook rice bran rice to eat.
For dinner, Liu Xiang made fried pork slices. But she didn't move the chopsticks herself, Wu Nian pinched a lot, and she only ate half of it.
After eating, Liu Xiangma went to boil water and wash the dishes.
Wu Nian sat on a stool and talked to her.
"Brother. I heard that Zhang Yong had a stroke. Liu Xiang turned back to Wu Nian while washing the dishes. The eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and he looks happy.
Wu Nian showed a sudden look.
Today I beat Li violently, but I didn't see that Zhang Yong come forward, but it turned out to be a stroke.
"Good. God has eyes. This scourge should have left him half impaired. Wu Nian exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest, and said with great refreshment.
"And that's not all." Liu Xiang said with a smile.
"Is there still trouble in the Zhang family?" Wu Nian was curious and a little looking forward to it.
"The Zhang family has long been separated. The eldest couple lives independently. The second child lives with his parents. The second child originally had a marriage contract, and he was about to get married. Now Zhang Yongdu is like this, and Li Ding is also dead. The other party repented of the marriage. ”
Liu Xiang smiled and put away the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the cabinet.
"Retribution is not good."
Wu Nian was also stunned for a moment, then laughed and clapped his hands.
Wu Nian spent the night at home in a happy mood.
Early the next morning.
Wu Nian ate dinner, went out in Liu Xiang's reluctant eyes, and went back to the barracks.
Today is not a day of drilling.
Wang Gui, Li Yong, Zhang Sheng, and Tie Niu hid in the house to keep warm, or walked outside. Seeing that Wu Nian was back, he hurriedly came over to say hello.
Immediately, the five brothers entered the house and sat down to talk.
There are no secrets in these hundred households. Yesterday, Wu Nian's violent beating of the Li family had already spread.
When the brothers talked about it, they were very supportive.
This building is crooked, and when it is covered, it is crooked.
"Brother. Now in our camp, but the dark tide is surging. Zhang Sheng said to Wu Nian with a smile.
