Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 24
Liu Ya cleaned up the rabbit meat with quick hands and feet, and asked Liu Shu to bring the salt jar, and rubbed the rabbit meat with a layer of salt inside and out.

This keeps it fresh and tasty.When I make it again tomorrow, I will just use less salt.

Chen Wuniu looked at Liu Ya's neat movements, and the whole piece of rabbit skin that Liu Shu was holding in his hand, and felt a little uncomfortable.If Ya'er was still that silly girl from before, how could she do these things.

But at that time, Ya'er was very dependent on her, as soon as she saw her, she would rush forward to hug her with a smile.

Thinking that Ya'er, who had been following behind him since childhood, suddenly became indifferent and distant, Chen Wuniu secretly sighed inwardly.But looking at Liu Ya's clean little face without a trace of dust, and her neatly combed braids, I feel that Ya'er like this is really pretty.Beautiful, makes my heart itch.

Seeing that Chen Wuniu was still looking at Liu Ya without speaking, Liu Xu'er hurriedly said: "Ya'er, the family hasn't cooked yet. Brother Wu Niu brought over some fresh vegetables. If you and Shu'er want to eat, the elder sister will cook for you."

vegetable?Liu Ya heard Liu Xu'er's eager tone, and glanced at a small bamboo basket on the table.

That was the fresh vegetables that Chen Wuniu sent to their family, half a head of Chinese cabbage and a small bunch of leeks.Moreover, the leeks are a bit old, and some of them will bloom with leeks.

But when Liu Xuer saw the basket, she picked it up with a smile on her face, and said, "How much? Half a cabbage can be eaten for two meals. Tomorrow, I will go to the third aunt's house to buy an egg, and fried leeks are just right."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xu'er said to Liu Ya again: "Ya'er, your rabbit is almost cleaned up, chop off a rabbit's leg and bring it back to Brother Wu Niu. Let's serve Grandpa Chen the food and drink."

"No." Liu Ya directly refused.Why did the rabbit she shot back go out on a rabbit leg?

Besides, what kind of expression does Liu Xuer have?Is it really "poor people with short ambitions"?She was given half a cabbage and a bunch of old leeks, and she wanted to buy an egg to go with it?
If according to Liu Ya's intention, the leeks can be thrown away, and the members of their Liu family will not eat cheap food in the future, and their Liu family can live a better life than any other family in the village.

Liu Ya refused so simply, Liu Xu'er was stunned.

Chen Wuniu never expected that Liu Ya would do this.Looking at Liu Ya, and then at the rabbit, Chen Wuniu smiled awkwardly, and said in a dry voice: "Ya'er, brother Wuniu is not trying to catch your rabbit's legs. If brother Wuniu can catch the rabbit , I can give you the whole one."

"Well, that's fine. I, Liu Ya, have thanked you for the food you gave. In the future, brother Wuniu will come to sit down, and the folks in our village will naturally welcome you. But you don't need to bring things, and our family will not be short in the future. .”

The reason why Liu Ya said these words so directly was because she saw that Chen Wuniu was thinking strangely about her.This kind of hazy feeling should simply be wiped out in the bud, and he should not be given a little thought.

Secondly, Liu Ya really didn't want to owe anyone anything.Leaving aside whether Chen Wuniu brought more or less, at least after Liu Ya crossed over, she didn't take advantage of anyone.I also don't want to be better off in the future, and be made to make connections by others.

But these words heard Chen Wuniu's ears, it was like a basin of cold water poured over his head and brain, pouring a chill into his heart.Looking at Liu Ya, Chen Wuniu asked in a low voice: "Ya'er, you mean, Brother Wuniu and you are just fellow villagers?"

"Brother Wu Niu, the old Ya'er is really gone. I'm Liu Ya." Liu Ya can only give him this answer, and it's an accurate and realistic answer.

"Yeah, Ya'er, it's good that you're not stupid anymore. But Brother Wuniu will still love you as before." After Chen Wuniu finished speaking, he walked over and touched Liushu's head, and said, "Shu'er, Brother Wu Niu is gone. Next time I come back, I will bring you a slingshot to play with."

"Oh, thank you Brother Wu Niu." Liu Shu stared at a pair of big eyes, feeling that the atmosphere was not right.In the past, the second sister and I played behind Brother Wu Niu's buttocks, so we were happy.Why does Second Sister seem to be chasing Brother Wu Niu away today?

Chen Wuniu forced a smile at Liu Xu'er again, turned around and walked out.

"Brother Wu Niu, your basket." Liu Xu'er dumped the vegetables on the table and chased Chen Wu Niu with the basket.

"Brother Wu Niu, don't worry about it. Ya'er is fine, but she doesn't seem to be fine. Anyway, I also think there is something wrong with Ya'er, but I can't tell what's wrong." Liu Xu'er stopped Chen Wuniu outside the courtyard, talking.

"Well, I know, Ya'er has grown up. She has her own thoughts. Xu'er, I'm not at home, you've worked hard, take good care of Ya'er...and Shu'er." Chen Wuniu finished speaking and took the The basket is gone.

"Brother Wuniu..." Looking at Chen Wuniu's back, Liu Xu'er murmured to herself in a low voice: "Don't you care about me? I can't last in this house, I'm really tired. "

When Liu Xu'er returned to the house, Liu Ya actually chopped up a rabbit's leg and was roasting it with charcoal on the stove.The rabbit is very fat, and the roasted "sizzling" is oily, and the smell of the house is full.

Liu Shu watched from the side, with a sparkle of saliva at the corner of his mouth, and the little mouth couldn't help but "baji".

"Little greedy cat, I can't wait for tomorrow." Liu Ya looked at the willow tree, how cute it was.While the outermost layer of the rabbit's leg was just cooked, he sliced ​​off a piece with a razor blade and stuffed it into Willow's mouth.

"Hiss, it's hot. Second sister..." Although Liu Shu was about to shed tears from the heat, he ate the piece of meat hungrily.

"Willow, you still eat it when it's hot. Hmph." Liu Xu'er scolded loudly, then gave Liu Ya a hard look, and then said: "Ya'er, you know that when mother just passed away, Brother Wu Niu helped How busy is our family? If it wasn't for his protection, you would have been beaten to death by some pretty boys in the village."

Liu Ya's heart moved slightly when she heard this, she looked up at Liu Xu'er, and said slowly: "If you have kindness to our family, we will pay it back. It seems to be a reason to pay back the money if you owe a debt. But what I pay back is money, not Dignity. Do you understand dignity? You can't rush to please others, and you can't bend your waist for five buckets of rice."

"Dignity?" Liu Xu'er was stunned, she had never heard of this word.But it doesn't sound like a good word.

Liu Ya nodded, touched Liu Shu's head, and said to Liu Shu: "The second sister told you that dignity is a person's self-esteem and foundation. If dignity is gone, then life is meaningless. If you owe money, you can Also, favors need to be exchanged with heart. I don’t have to please anyone who throws old things in front of me.”
