Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 140
Amei's face was flushed, her eyes were squinting and she was smiling, holding a bamboo sieve for sifting rice, with a piece of rags spread on it, and the cries of immature chicks continued to come.

Li Xin quickly took the sieve from her hand and counted the chicks on it, there were 27 chicks in total.

A-mei wiped her face and said: "I can't hold a hen. I have agreed with others that I will go to hold it tomorrow. It is a hen that is brooding. It is just right to bring chickens." She drank her saliva and said: "Sister-in-law, Brother is building a chicken coop outside, right?"

"Yeah." After thinking about it, Li Xin winked at A-Mei again: "Your elder brother is probably in a bad mood, so he didn't say much when he came back."

A-mei suddenly said nervously: "Why are you in a bad mood? What happened?"

Li Xin slightly guessed that it was because he saw Guan Wu working, but he really didn't know what was on his mind, so he shook his head and said, "Hurry up and sit in the main room, I'll call your elder brother back for dinner."

Thinking that the chicks had just hatched, they might still long for the warmth and could not be cold anymore, so Li Xin put the sieve on two small benches side by side and carried it to the stove door, where the embers of fire were still burning. , the temperature is higher.

Yang'er drank the fish soup with a spoon, and a fish was gnawed clean.Li Xin touched his belly and said, "It's better to eat something at night, but if you're really full, don't eat too much."

"Understood, mother." Yang'er nodded, and Li Xin asked him to go to the main room with his aunt, and carried the rice cooker over by herself, while Amei helped to arrange the dishes.

Guan Wen was still busy, Li Xin walked towards the southeast corner, and said to him, "Let's go eat first, it's not too late to do this tomorrow, the hen hasn't come back yet."

One side of the roof of the shed is made of bamboo cores, that is, the kind of worthless bamboo bodies that they dry and use as firewood. It is thick and can prevent rain well.

After hearing Li Xin's words, Guan Wen stopped, scooped water out of the kitchen to wash himself, walked to the main room in silence, and ate food absent-mindedly.

His expression was a little dazed, so he didn't pay attention to eating the fish. When he felt a little uncomfortable when swallowing, he stopped his chopsticks and covered his neck and said, "Xin'er, I was stuck by a fishbone."

Li Xin quickly put down his chopsticks and scooped him a bowl of fish soup: "Swallow to see if you can swallow the fishbone."

Guan Wen did as he did, and muttered at the old juncture: "How big is a man, and he will be stuck like a baby if he eats fish. Yang'er can't get stuck eating fish."

The whole family stopped their chopsticks, and Yang'er looked at Guan Wen worriedly and called "Father".

Guan Wen was very embarrassed, and also felt that it was a shame for him to be stuck with a fish bone, but he still couldn't swallow the fish bone after swallowing for a long time.

Li Xin had no choice but to go to the kitchen and pour vinegar for him to drink to soften the fish bones.

After tossing and tossing for a while, the fishbone was finally swallowed. Guan Wen's mouth was dry and sour. Fortunately, Li Xin had prepared warm water for him earlier, and now he drank it clean.

At the old juncture, he took the chopsticks and knocked on the bowl: "Eat, eat!"

The whole family continued to eat.

At the end of the meal, I was walking in the courtyard to digest my food. Amei carried Yang'er in her arms and went to play. Li Xin quickly cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and then went back to the main room. There was a shadow sitting in the dark, She was not afraid, so she walked over and sat next to the shadow. After thinking about it, she took out a candle and lit it to illuminate it. Guan Wen's somewhat tired scarred face appeared in front of Li Xin.

Li Xin didn't speak, and sat with him. After a while, Guan Wen said in a muffled voice: "It's getting late, hurry up and go to sleep."

Li Xin stared at him closely, Guan Wen then sighed: "I'm fine."

"Are you all right, sitting here alone without making a sound?" Li Xin asked him back, "You can get stuck if you eat a fish, what is it if you have something on your mind?"

Guan Wen rubbed his forehead: "I'm really fine, just a little tired."

Li Xin walked behind him to give him a back massage, pressed his fingers against his temples and gently squeezed, and repeated movements on the acupuncture points on his brain to relax him. After a while, he stopped his hands, but still leaned behind him.

Guan Wen covered Li Xin's two arms hanging from his shoulders and stroked them carefully, and said softly, "I went to find my second brother today, and went along the place where he was working."

"Yeah." Li Xin said sullenly: "I also heard from Xing'er that your second brother has been looking for a job recently and wants to save some money for himself."

After a moment of silence, Guan Wencai said, "Second Brother is going to help people dig stones by the Dagui River."

The Dagui River is the main river in Hui County. Although it does not flow through Hehua Village, its tributaries develop in Hehua Village, which makes Hehua Village abundant in water. There are countless natural ponds with various potholes.And one of the three treasures of Huixian County is produced on the edge of the Dagui River—a strange stone.

It is true that some people started to make a fortune by relying on strange stones. This thing only depends on people's luck.

Hearing what Guan Wen said, Li Xin frowned and asked, "Second brother helped someone dig stones?"

"Well, there is a family that hires people to dig stones, and wants to find some strange stones to participate in the gem fair held during the Great Cold this year." Guan Wenmo said silently: "Because he is a rich family and the wages are high, so the second brother signed up for it. , and didn’t say hello to the family.”

Li Xin let out a sigh of relief: "Second brother wants to make money and save money, but he also wants to save some of his own money without telling the truth."

"I'm not talking about that." Guan Wen sighed and said, "Second brother wants to save some money himself. What should I do if I accidentally get into the river? Besides, every now and then a big rock will be thrown down..."

Guan Wen shook his head: "I asked him to quit his job and go back with me, but his temper has returned, so he just doesn't want to."

Li Xin said: "Then what?"

"Then I just sat and waited for him, and finally he felt uncomfortable, so I left work early and came back with me, just like a dumb gourd, without saying a word, and turned into the door when I got home, how could I knock on him? Neither should the house." Guan Wen smiled wryly: "I'm afraid I think I'm delaying his change."

"What are you thinking about, second brother is simple and honest, can you think of those?" Li Xin pushed him, sat next to him again and said: "Don't think too much about it, you don't know what second brother has plans, What are you doing for nothing? The two brothers might as well open up their minds and say, the second brother has always liked you and respected you? Show your courage to be the big brother, what difficulties does he have? help."

Li Xin actually meant to give Xinger the lead by saying this. First, she would sound the alarm for Guan Wen. alright.

It's just that in Guan Wen's ears, the daughter-in-law means that he wants to support Guan Wu more.Now that their family has a surplus, life is getting better day by day, and they are not losing money on food and clothing. It is hard for their daughter-in-law to think of his brother, and Guan Wen feels moved.

Dang even said, "I'll talk to him tomorrow."

"I dare you to have a quick meal today and get distracted by a fishbone. I just think that my second brother is unfamiliar with you, and I blame you for delaying his change?" Li Xin couldn't laugh or cry: "You are such an old man, and you still go into the eyes of a child , thinking too much."

Guan Wen touched his head, gave a dry laugh, and volunteered to boil water for Li Xin before going to bed at night.Li Xin laughed at him a few more words before stopping him.

Husband and wife flirting is to adjust the interest of life, if it goes too far, there is no guarantee that Guan Wen will not be angry.Li Xin put it away when she was done, filled water for Yang'er to wash his face and feet and drove him to sleep in the middle, Amei also washed and slept on the inside.

At the door of the bedroom, Guan Wen held Li Xin's hand for a while, and whispered in her ear, "This monk's life will last for a month..." As soon as he spoke, he moved his hands on Li Xin's waist and hips irregularly. back.

Li Xin slapped him with a smile, looked around, gave him a look, quickly kissed him on the face, and said: "Renren, it's good to eat vegetarian food for a while, but the meat and meat are too greasy. Injury."

"I've never been a big meat..." Guan Wen got tired and leaned into Li Xin's ear and whispered: "There are few people in the mountains and forests..."

Li Xin naturally understands such suggestive words, but she can only be the spoiler, pushing Guan Wen and saying: "The fact that few people enter means there must be danger inside, we can't go in easily, if there is danger what to do?"

Guan Wen was very annoyed, Li Xin felt slightly proud, and comforted the hungry | thirsty man with a few words before driving him back to the house.

A-mei was already giggling inside the bed tent.

Li Xin glanced at her, plugged the door latch, took off her clothes and shoes, and went to the bed to look at it. Immediately, she was next to a small soft body, and turned sideways. Li Xin hugged Yang'er who didn't know why, and said : "Your girl is bad, eavesdropping on mother talking to your father, and making fun of mother."

Amei's face was flushed in the dark, "Sister-in-law, don't be wronged..."

"You yourself know whether I have wronged you or not." Li Xin snorted softly, "Yang'er, in order to punish your aunt, I won't let your aunt hug you to sleep tonight, so mother will hug you to sleep, okay?"

Yang'er nodded obediently, "Mother hugs Yang'er to sleep."

"Sister-in-law is cheating, public revenge." A-mei pursed her lips, but she made herself laugh, and Li Xin also started to laugh.The two pulled the quilt to the middle in unison.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Xin saw Guan Wen busy in front of the chicken coop. He also repaired the fence that he made five jumps yesterday.

Seeing Li Xin coming out, Guan Wen hurriedly said, "Are you up?"

"Yeah." Li Xin frowned slightly: "When did you get up and get busy?" Then he looked at the sky: "It's not bright yet."

"I woke up when I couldn't sleep." He leaned over and whispered: "My heart is itchy..."

Li Xin slapped him, Guan Wen immediately called out, and immediately covered his mouth and glared at Li Xin.

"I just think about those things in broad daylight." Li Xin snorted softly, and Guan Wen put his hand on her shoulder with a bitter face: "Anyone can be like me. With my wife by my side, I can only watch if I can't." eat."

Li Xin pursed his lips and held back a smile, pointing to the chicken coop he built: "Is that all right?"

"Okay, okay!" Guan Wen quickly offered his treasure: "I heard people say that the chicken coop should not be too clean, the chickens have to find stones to eat by themselves, but I am afraid that it will rain and the mud will overflow, so I built a wooden board. It’s at the bottom. But the chicken coop is ready, so let’s lay eggs here, okay? The roof is also set up, don’t worry, it won’t be blown down.”

Li Xin was quite satisfied, so he nodded and said, "Ah Wen, your craft is pretty good."

"Then is there any reward..." Guan Wen shyly approached him, Li Xin smiled lowly, thought about it and said something in front of him, Guan Wen's face immediately lit up.
