Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 141 The Cousin's Marriage
My sister also got up early in the morning, and went to hug the hen when it was dawn.

Li Xin put the 27 chicks in the chicken shed.

It is called a chicken shed, but it is just a small nest, about the size of a pigsty. Because the chickens are still small, they are afraid of running out, so the fences are tightly sealed on all sides, but it is as high as her waist.The bamboo shed above was set up on the outer edge, and the slope was not too big. Li Xin looked at it and felt that he could still dry shoes on it in summer.

There is an openable fence door facing the main house, and the chicken coop is set up at a corner next to the fence door, covered with thick straw, so that it is easy to pick up eggs after the chickens lay eggs.

Li Xin looked around and felt satisfied, Guan Wen had to come to ask for credit again, Li Xin looked at him with a half-smile and said: "You did a good job."

"Then what you just said..."

Guan Wen leaned over and hinted that Li Xin just said that he would compensate him two days ago, which made him very happy.

Li Xin hooked his fingers and said, "Ah Wen, let me ask you, how do you usually clean the chicken coop?"

"Ah?" Guan Wen was stunned for a moment, Li Xin pointed to the chicken shed on her chest and said, "If you don't build the shed higher, I will squat down to clean the chicken manure... "

Guan Wen was speechless for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately made amends and said, "I'll raise it a bit..."

As he spoke, he was going to pick up the wooden stakes. Li Xin watched him busy with his work with a smile. When they finished their work, Guan Wencai came over again and said, "Then you still mean what you said?"

Li Xin snorted, twisted her waist and walked away.

Guan Wen gritted his teeth twice, and still chased after him. He waited for a while until Amei came back, and then let go, saying that he would go to the old house to find Guan Wu to see if he was there.

Amei brought back a hen that looked thin but in good spirits. As soon as she was thrown into the chicken coop, the hen displayed the spirit of protecting its cubs and organized these chicks spontaneously. .Li Xin sprinkled some wheat bran, filled a broken basin with water and put it on the side of the chicken shed, and the old hen leisurely took the chicks for a walk in the chicken shed.The place is not big, but it can turn around.

A-mei handed over [-] yuan to Li Xin and said: "My sister-in-law left these for me. Each chicken is a copper coin, and the hen was bought for [-] yuan."

Li Xin nodded, took the money back, turned around to see that Yang'er was staring at those chicks, probably aware that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head and saw that it was Li Xin who smiled embarrassedly She smiled, then raised her face and said, "Mom, chick."

"Well, chick." Li Xin smiled softly: "Does Yang'er like it?"

"like."

Li Xin patted his head, let him hug his legs and said to Amei: "Children play everywhere, and their clothes get dirty after a while. You pick up a piece of cloth that is not that good, cut it and make it This is the kind of apron we used when we were busy in the kitchen, with a belt in the back and a snare around the neck in the front, and I made two of them for Yang'er to wear according to the proportions of Yang'er."

A-mei is quick, it won’t take long to make this kind of thing, she hurriedly agreed, then hesitated: "I picked up all those old clothes of Yang’er, they are either old or too small, I guess Yang’er I can't wear it..."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Slow down on the clothes for now, he still has to wear them now. If they are too small, they will be taken apart, and those made of rough materials will hurt the child's skin. I will go and see if there are any cotton ones. Take it apart, wash it, and make a new one. It can be regarded as our Yanger's hundred clothes. The weather in the past two days is not very good, and the sun is not too bright. When the sun is bright, I will make up my mind to clean up all these things."

A-mei responded, and went to the house to find some fabric to cut to make the baby's apron without mentioning it.

Li Xin hugged Yang'er and got up, Master Wu had already brought people to work.

At noon, they cooked another big pot meal that was praised by the group of young men, but Guan Wen didn't come back. Li Xin thought that Guan Wu had gone to the quarry again, so Guan Wen also drove him there, so he didn't care.

In the afternoon, Xing'er brought Xiao Kang over. When Yang'er saw a little man who was about his age, he stared at Xiao Kang intently. Look straight at Yang'er.

Myolie put down Xiaokang and pushed him, "Go play with your little brother."

Xiaokang took a step, then turned back into Xing'er's arms, and plunged into Xing'er's waist.Xing'er sat on the bench and laughed, she seemed to be in a much better mood than yesterday.

"Oh, my Xiaokang is shy."

Xing'er teased Xiao Kang, Li Xin laughed: "Yang'er, you little brother is shy, you go and take him to see our family's motherfucker together."

Yang'er also blushed slightly, glanced at Li Xin, saw her nodding encouragingly to him, smiled and waited for him to find the little brother, then walked slowly over to pull Xiaokang's clothes.

Xiaokang is just pretending, and he is always lonely without a playmate of the same age.Although the Yinhuan family also has children, it's just that Xiaokang and the Yinhuan family's children can't play together, and the Yinhuan family's children are always accompanied by a woman-like figure, making it uncomfortable to play.

Xiaokang was not annoyed when his clothes were pulled by Yang'er, he poked his head out of Xing'er's arms and looked at him.

Yang'er pursed her lips: "My name is Wei Yucheng, my mother gave me a nickname, and it's called Zhiyang. What's your name?"

Xiaokang straightened out his bare chest, and replied like an adult, "I am Qian Xuekang, and I am from Hui County, Yizhou."

Both Xing'er and Li Xin burst out laughing, even at the old moment when they were rubbing bamboo strips, they laughed loudly and said, "These two kids are so funny!"

Xiaokang coughed in dissatisfaction, walked up to Yang'er in a pretentious manner, and said, "What is a Biaozi? Why do you have Biaozi but I don't?"

Yang'er looked at Li Xin, shook his head at Xiao Kang, and said, "Mother took it."

Xiaokang suddenly frowned, turned around and said, "Mom, I also want a sign, why don't I have a sign?"

Xing'er covered her belly and laughed again: "Little man, what do you want to write?"

Xiaokang stamped his feet: "Others have them, and I want them too! I want them too!" Then he went up and acted like a spoiled child to Xinger: "Mom, if you don't give Xiaokang a name, Xiaokang's stomach will hurt!"

Li Xin couldn't stop laughing, Xing'er rubbed Xiaokang's stomach, and had no choice but to say: "Then let Aunt Xin get you one, you go play with your little brother first."

"Aunt Xin, you have to get me a nice one!" Seeing his mother's promise, Xiaokang was immediately overjoyed. He ran to Li Xin to flatter him, pointed at Yang'er and said, "It must be as nice as his."

"Okay, you two have fun, Aunt Xin will give Xiaokang a nice nickname."

"Ok!"

Xiaokang was immediately happy, and also smiled at Yang'er.The two little people held hands and staggered across the threshold of the main room and ran towards the newly built chicken coop. Xing'er laughed so hard that her stomach ached: "The two little people are fine."

As he said that, he said to Li Xin: "The kid you brought back is not gangster-like at all. I thought at first that the escort's grandson must also be a domineering one, but now he looks like those young masters from a scholarly family. .”

Li Xin said modestly: "Your family Xiaokang is a smart person. What you said just now made me laugh." Thinking of Xiaokang's appearance at that time, he couldn't hold back his smile and said: "What a clever ghost, who Did you teach him to speak like this?"

"His grandfather." Xing'er sighed: "Xiaokang's father is also a scholar, and my uncle has always wanted to lead Xiaokang to that road. Xiaokang has a good memory, and his father always said that he is a child prodigy. Let him be sure when he grows up." Find a private school to send him to study."

"That's right, let Yang'er be with him." Li Xin said with a smile.

"Are you going to send your Yanger to study too?"

"Of course." Li Xin poured a bowl of tea for Xing'er, brought a bowl of fried snacks, and said at the same time: "I don't ask him to pass the imperial examination to become an official, but I just want him to be able to read and write. Yes, he knows some principles of being a human being. Besides, scholars are generally respected nowadays, so there is nothing wrong with letting him study. If he thinks that he can pass the scientific examination to further develop in the future, that is his idea, and I will follow suit at that time. his meaning."

Xing'er was a little stunned and said: "Are you still doing what he wants?" After speaking, she shook her head with a smile and said, "It's you, not the child."

"What's the advantage of holding on to a child? Let him grow up according to his own ideas, and he cannot provide him with a space for free development. What he will do in the future is up to him to decide, let him."

Li Xin turned around and took the hand cream he made last time and said to Xing'er, "Don't talk about that, just put it on, how about this?"

As he spoke, he picked some up and spread it evenly on the back of Xing'er's hands, then let her spread it all over her hands, and asked her with a smile, "How does this work?"

"Hey, it's different from the hand oils sold in the market."

Xing'er's hands were a little cracked, and it felt very comfortable after applying it. Although it was slippery, it didn't have the greasy feeling after applying hand oil.

"Where did I buy this thing? If the price is not expensive, I'll buy a box too, and my hands will feel much smoother after I wipe it on." Xing'er was surprised, staring at her hands, and kept touching them. with.

Li Xin smiled and said, "I made this myself, and I'm still working on it. If I make it, I'll give you a copy, okay?"

"You did it yourself?" Xing'er said in surprise, "Xin'er, you have an idea."

Ever since she found out about Xinger and Guan Wu, Li Xin gradually stopped calling her Sister Xinger, Xinger also wisely removed the word "sister", and now the two called her "Xinger" , "Xiner" is very familiar.

After the previous period of warm-up, Li Xin made a face to Xing'er, Xing'er nodded, and said through the old juncture, "Grandpa Guan, are you paddling bamboo again?"

"Yes, the girl from the Luo family is here."

At the old juncture, she called Xing'er with a smile, and her movements didn't stop, but the sentence "Luo's girl" surprised Xing'er slightly.

Li Xin narrowed his eyes and walked over and said, "Grandpa, Yang'er is alone and has no playmates. Let Xiaokang stay at home and play with him?"

Naturally, there is no objection at the old juncture. When people are old, they will have a whole house full of children and grandchildren around their knees. Although the grandchildren here are not their own children and grandchildren, but there are children here. At the old juncture, I always feel that it will bring some good luck, so I looked at it with a smile Li Xin nodded and said, "Okay, okay."

Xing'er heaved a sigh of relief, and with Li Xin's encouragement, she walked up to the old juncture and said, "Grandpa Guan..."

At the old juncture, he asked with a smile: "Girl from the Luo family, have you made an appointment with my second child?"

"what?"

Xing'er's eyes widened all of a sudden, Li Xin was also slightly surprised.

Although at the old juncture that day, he said a few harsh words to Guan Ming, stood on Guan Wu's side, and said that if Guan Ming disagreed with Guan Wu's marriage, he would let Guan Wu separate from his family to live alone.If the grandson doesn't give the grandchildren six face, it is only at this old juncture that he can have such occasional explosive power.

It's just that Li Xin always felt that he was just talking casually, but he didn't expect that Xing'er went up to talk to her today, and she still remembered the old juncture.

No wonder calling her a girl from the Luo family, presumably because she thought Guan Wu was going to marry Xing'er, so she couldn't call her daughter-in-law of the Qian family, right?

Li Xin suddenly settled down, blinked at Xing'er, turned around and went to help Lao Guan clean up the bamboo residue on the ground.

Xing'er's face was slightly red, but she shook her head after a while and said, "No order yet."

"Why haven't you ordered yet?" The old man frowned, and stopped his work: "It's been a long time, I said why there is no letter at all, and Ah Wen and Ah Wen's wife are not here. Up front, I thought it was being planned all the time. What's going on here? Why don't we hurry up, do we have to wait for Xiao Si to get married first, and then wait for Xiao Si's second brother's marriage?"

Before Xing'er could speak, she waved her hand at the old juncture: "No, no, it was Xiaoer who didn't have a date before, so he left him to arrange Xiaosi's marriage. Now that Xiaoer has a partner, how can I take care of my younger brother first?" Do you want to do your brother's business?"

As he spoke, he couldn't sit still, he leaned against the wall and stood up slowly, bowed his waist and said: "No, no, you can go and find me Xiao Er, I want to talk to him..."

"Grandpa Guan, you, don't worry..."

Xing'er hurried forward to help the person, then looked at Li Xin on the other side.

Li Xin persuaded: "Grandpa, things are not what you think, you should rest first, and just tell us what you want to do."

He groaned a few words at the old juncture, presumably because after sitting there for a long time, when he got up, he felt a little weak in his waist, but now he was persuaded by his granddaughter-in-law, so he sat down on a higher bench beside him, panting In two breaths, Xing'er asked Xing'er: "If we can't do the wedding ceremony, we can make preparations, but have you gone through the kiss? Have you changed the marriage certificate?"

Xing'er shook her head and said, "Nothing."

"What are you eating, Xiaoer!"

At the old juncture, he patted his thigh, and called out "Ouch", Li Xin rubbed him hurriedly, and saw the two little people by the chicken coop looking over, smiled at them, and waved his hands to let them continue playing.

Li Xin persuaded: "Grandpa, don't try so hard, what if you hurt yourself."

"Xiao Er is not honest in doing things!" Lao Guan said angrily: "I have explained it to my family, but why this matter has not been settled yet, I have to drag the girl of the Luo family..."

Li Xin curled her lips, thinking that it was your son who was blocking it.

Myolie is also a little embarrassed, she is not a member of the Guan family, so how can she say anything.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, he was even angrier at the old juncture: "What's wrong with not telling me?"

"How can it be, Grandpa, I'm just afraid that you will be angry." Li Xin laughed hurriedly, and whispered to Xing'er, "Tell grandpa tactfully."

Xing'er understood, she sighed before speaking.
