Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 296 Making Dumplings

As soon as she heard that Chun Niu gave Chen Wuniu such a name, Liu Ya laughed and asked her: "Being an apprentice in the town is very promising? Does that mean that many girls in our village want to marry him? "

Chunniu nodded first, then as if she had discovered something, she grabbed Liu Ya's arm and said, "Ya'er, Chen Wuniu couldn't be the one who came to your house to propose marriage to you, right?"

"What marriage proposal? How old am I?" Liu Ya glared at Chun Niu, but she didn't deny it.

Chun Niu understood after a little thought, and asked, "You don't want to?"

"Why should I want to? The first is that I am still young, and it will not be too late to think about marriage in ten years. The second is that Chen Wuniu is not suitable for me at all. Even if I can't get married, I won't marry him." Together." Liu Ya already regarded Chun Niu as a good girlfriend, so she said it so directly.

Chun Niu was even more surprised, and said: "Do you know that the Chen family is a well-known rich family in Pingshan Village? Even my second sister-in-law is thinking, if Chen Wuniu hasn't gotten engaged in two years, then she will be married." Find the best matchmaker and go to the Chen family to match Yanfang for his family."

After finishing speaking, Chun Niu looked at Liu Ya again, and said, "Yanfang is one year older than you, and she has made up her mind to find a good husband's family. Now she learns embroidery, sewing, and cooking at home every day. I still go to work in the field, just to look virtuous, and when I go to a big family to talk about matchmaking, people think she is capable. But you are good, Chen Wuniu came to the door, and you ran out. If this is the case, I will not keep you for dinner, you hurry up Go home."

As soon as Liu Ya heard this, she held Chun Niu back, and while pressing her hand to keep her from shouting loudly, she said, "Let's go, let's stop shopping for groceries, go back to your house and talk."

Chunniu asked suspiciously: "Why don't you buy vegetables anymore? I'll be at Wang Qiuhong's house soon. The vegetables her house sells are not as good as our Li's, but the prices are also cheaper. If not, I'll make a detour to Wu's house to buy vegetables."

Liu Ya held up the chives in her hand and said: "Okay, let's make dumplings with vegetarian stuffing. I'm hungry, but I can't wait any longer. When you arrive at your house, you make noodles, and I'll cut leeks and scramble eggs. Let's work together and hurry up." "

"Ya'er, how can this work? It's the first time you come to my house for dinner, and you don't even have a good dish." Chun Niu is really honest and persistent.

But Liu Ya kept dragging her away, and went back to Chunniu's house first.

When Chunniu and Liuya went to Li's house to buy vegetables and were delayed, Siping had already returned.He was boiling water in the kitchen, and when he saw Liu Ya and Chun Niu came back, he hurriedly fetched two basins of warm water, and handed over two white cloth towels to let Liu Ya and Chun Niu wash their faces first, so that they could feel comfortable.

Liu Ya smiled when she took it, and said, "Don't tell me, Chun Niu, you are really happy. Someone at home will boil some warm water for you to wash your face, and at night, is there someone who will wash your feet with warm water?"

Liu Ya's joke made Chun Niu's face turn red.He pursed his lips and smiled without answering, just lowered his head and washed his face and hands clean.

Liu Ya said "tsk tsk" twice, jokingly said: "I really told you that, how happy you are in this little life."

Chun Niu washed her face sullenly, wrung out the cloth towel and put it on the air, and said to Liu Ya: "I'm going to make the dough first, and come to the kitchen after you wash. I have to tell you about Chen Wuniu. "

Liu Ya also finished washing, twisted the cloth towel to dry, poured water, followed Chun Niu to the kitchen, picked leeks, and said: "There is nothing to say, if I say I don't like it, I just don't like it, it's impossible in my life I don’t need to worry about it. But now he is in high spirits and always runs to my house, so I will hide from him sincerely. I guess there will be opportunities to come to your house for dinner in the future.”

"Ya'er, you're young now, but you'll be thirteen in two years, and it's time to get engaged. It will be too late to make any plans at that time. There really is no better family in our village than the Chen family. Chen Wuniu can be regarded as promising. It is estimated that he will not have to live in the village in the future, and maybe he will take his wife to the town to become a housekeeper. That is a good opportunity to jump out of the valley, so don't you think about it?" Chun Niu was really earnest, as if Liu Ya would lose if she didn't bite into Chen Wuniu's big piece of fat.

Liu Ya sighed, and said: "Your words are exactly the same as what my eldest sister said."

Chun Niu nodded quickly and said, "Look, your eldest sister said the same thing. On this point, I agree with her. It seems that your eldest sister is also thinking of you wholeheartedly."

Liu Ya curled her lips when she heard this, pushed Chun Niu and said: "Don't talk nonsense, I think my eldest sister and Chen Wuniu are suitable. Isn't it because I hid out, let the eldest sister and Chen Wuniu get in touch more, the two of them The grades are the same."

"Your eldest sister and Chen Wuniu..." Chunniu shook her head, as if she felt sorry for Liu Ya, and then said: "But you have to think about it, there are not so many good people, let your eldest sister, what do you do? If Chen Wuniu is really interested in you, you may not be able to push it away. Taking the Chen family as an example, the daughter-in-laws their family wants, aren't they all eager to catch up?"

"It's not because my eldest sister likes Chen Wuniu, and my father also likes him as a son-in-law, so I let him come to eat at home. But I don't have that in mind, and of course I don't want to get involved. If my eldest sister doesn't have this fate with him, I will I don’t know how to rush. In the future, I will find someone I like by myself. If I can’t find someone I like, I’d rather not marry.” After Liu Ya finished speaking, she said to the basin under Chunniu’s hand: “I need to add water. "

Chun Niu was stunned, and when she looked down, she saw that the dough in her hand was already soft, because she had added too much water inadvertently.Chun Niu glared at Liu Ya and said, "I didn't tell me earlier, there is only so much noodles in my pocket, let's take a look, what should I do?"

"Let Siping go buy some more. If he goes back to Li's house to buy noodles, your sister-in-law can drive him out." Liu Ya pouted at Siping, giving Chunniu some advice.

Chun Niu sighed and said, "That's the only way to go. All right, I'll ask Siping to buy some noodles. Anyway, we need to use flour to roll the dumpling wrappers later."

After finishing speaking, Chun Niu handed Siping the empty noodle pocket, took money for him, and asked him to go home and buy some noodles.

Siping nodded honestly, and left with a bag of noodles.

Chun Niu came back again, squatting on the ground to help Liu Ya pick leeks.Seeing that Liu Ya didn't want to mention Chen Wuniu's matter, she started talking about other gossip.

When Siping bought two catties of noodles, Liu Ya and Chun Niu had already picked the leeks, washed them, and fried the eggs.Chun Niu was busy making noodles again, and Liu Ya went to mix dumpling stuffing.

When it was time to make dumplings, Chunniu rolled out the dough, Liuya made dumplings, and Siping honestly put the wrapped dumplings on the bamboo curtain.

When the dumplings were on the table, Liu Ya also opened the grilled pheasant she brought.It has been kept warm on the stove before, but now the leaves are fragrant as soon as they are untied.
