Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 21 Homecoming
"Girl Li, the clothes hanging in the middle of the yard are dry. You help take them back. They belong to your elder brother. You put them on the bed for him. He can clean them up when he comes back."

"Mother, I know."

Mo Qingli couldn't help sighing, big brother is really hardworking. In this era, men are superior to women, and gentlemen stay away from cooking. Not to mention my talented father, even the men in the village don't do housework. At most, they can repair a farm tool. Chickens, ducks, pigs, kitchen work, and mending are all for women. She once saw her father and third brother bring dirty clothes home.

But having said that, my father's thinking is still trendy, and quite different, not at all pedantic like a literati, he can cook when he is not eating, and he does not object to his elder brother earning a little money, on the contrary, he still supports it Qingli thinks that the best thing about her father, Mo Ruhu, is that he doesn't favor boys over girls, and treats her like a treasure, unlike those in the village, girls are losers, they wash and cook at home all day long, and they have to take their younger siblings with them when they sew If you make a mistake, you will be beaten, and good things will not fall into your mouth.

Qingli entered the room and put her elder brother's clothes on the bed. This kind of bed is actually no different from a kang, with some straw on the bottom and a thin quilt on top, it is still a bit painful to sleep.

Huh, big brother's calligraphy?Mo Qingli saw a corner of snow-white rice paper exposed under the pillow, and she secretly took it out. The font on it was about italics, and the font was beautiful. .”

Except for one line of writing, there is no signature. Although Qingli has not seen her elder brother's handwriting, she knows at this moment that this is definitely not her elder brother's, it is a love poem from a woman to a man!Moreover, this kind of rice paper is white and delicate, and the price will not be cheap. I use the cheapest jute paper at home.

There is a situation!Brother in love?Seeing what the writer meant, he had a crush on the elder brother, right? Qingli suddenly felt that he had seen through the secret, and she was a little interested. In ancient times, she was really precocious, and she could get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Maybe they have already arranged a family relationship. Many girls from all over the world fell in love with their elder brothers and sent someone to check on them. However, Mrs. Liu is very firm about this point, that is, she will not give it to her before she is admitted as a scholar. Big Brother is engaged.

In private, I also heard from my parents that girls in the country are not bad, and they are hardworking, but the main thing I want is a daughter-in-law who can read and understand, otherwise I always feel sorry for my elder brother, and I am afraid that I will not get along with her. language.

The eldest brother is usually in father's school, and he can't get in touch with any girls. Could it be that when he went out to set up a stall, he fell in love with a young lady from some family?Looking at the paper, it should be a young lady from a wealthy family. My eldest brother just put it under the pillow casually. What does it mean?A concubine's love, or Luohua's intentions, flowing water is ruthless.

Qingli felt that her parents' decision was correct. Her sister-in-law had to be talented and good-looking, and she could read and understand characters well. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so she has to set an example. Sensing the seriousness of the matter, Qingli was a little confused, should she tell her mother? After all, this is the eldest brother's secret. She frowned and thought for a while, and decided to probe in private. Don't talk too much and be a whistleblower.

At the end of Shen Shi, Mo Ruhu took the eldest son back and the third son Song returned home as usual. When he saw the door of the small courtyard was open, he smiled and said, "I don't need to cook tonight, your mother is here."

Sure enough, his fourth son, Qingli, was helping pick up the bowls and chopsticks in the yard, and Goudan standing beside him rubbed his hands, but he couldn't help much.

"God, come here."

Mo Ruhu saw the bowls and chopsticks set up in the yard, and the plates on top of the dishes, guessing that they were waiting for his own meal, so he quickened two steps and went to the kitchen to fetch water and wash his hands.

"Well, third uncle. Mother asked me to take my aunt into the town in a bullock cart. No, she must ask me to have dinner together."

When Goudan saw the dishes, there was meat in them, and it smelled delicious. People in the village basically didn’t have any meat until the New Year’s Eve. If the year is good, it’s just buying some fatty meat to consume oil, and the oil residue is left for cooking. But as soon as the dish was brought out, he could see that there were pork belly slices and eggs in it, so he couldn't let go of such a richness.

"Why are you being polite at my uncle's house? It's not because of you that your aunt came into town. How can you not leave a meal? Are you an outsider?"

"Father, you're back, let's have dinner, we have to go back after dinner."

Mrs. Liu came out from the kitchen and greeted them, but there were not enough benches in the yard, so Mrs. Liu left some vegetables and planned to take Qingli to eat in the kitchen.

"Little sister, why didn't you tie the red-headed rope that Big Brother bought?"

With sharp eyes, Mo Zigui touched Qingli's hair with a smile in his eyes, "Do you not like it anymore? Tell Big Brother what else you like."

"Okay, big boy, this girl has a lot of ideas, and you are used to them."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand, greeted a few people to eat, and interrupted the eldest brother, so that Qingli could only blink and make eye contact with the eldest brother, while the third brother on the side, the pork belly on the plate had already occupied all his attention, even the rest of the time No light was given to Qing Li.

"It's delicious, Dad, this dish can still be made like this, it's so delicious!"

Mo Zisong gnawed on the pancakes, the speed of the chopsticks was not slow at all, with a precise head, he directly picked up a piece of pork belly, and squinted his eyes in enjoyment of the smell of meat left between his lips and teeth.

"Third Uncle, Auntie's craftsmanship is really good!"

Goudan also ate, but somewhat shyly. Unlike Mo Zisong, who just shook off his cheeks, he just munched on the pancakes, occasionally picking up some vegetables with chopsticks.

"Goudan, eat more if it tastes good."

Mo Ruhu's eating looks are quite gentle. When he saw Goudan eating pancakes, he also picked up a chopstick dish for him, and greeted him attentively. Mo Zigui, who was on the side, was much more handsome in eating. He didn't grab it, and chewed slowly , I feel like a son of a rich family, Goudan thinks so, he has never seen how the son of a rich family eats, he just thinks it should be like this, very elegant.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Liu kept sandwiching pork belly for Qingli, probably because she hadn't eaten it for a long time. She ate one piece after another, it was very delicious. After she realized it, she realized that all the meat that was not much had gone in. Her stomach immediately hated her gluttonous mouth, and she was a little ashamed, her mother didn't even eat it.

"Mother, why did you give me all the meat?" Mo Qingli looked at the vegetable bowl, but there was no piece of meat, so he could only pick up an egg for his mother, Mrs. Liu.

"Mother doesn't like meat, your little one is growing up." Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "Eat more, I don't know if your second sister left something for you when you go home, don't be hungry again in the middle of the night." can't sleep."

"kindness."

Mo Qingli nodded vigorously. She thought of her mother in modern times. At that time, she loved to eat fish. Her mother always gave her the best places, and then said that she didn't like to eat. All mothers in the world are the same. She loves her child, and she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep because she drank too much water and woke up at night. Liu also knew that, sometimes she would come over with her clothes on by lighting an oil lamp.
