Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 295 The Chicken Soup Incident
There is some truth in what he said. If you are in the arena, if you are weak, you will be underestimated. Although Guan Wen is gentle in his bones, he has been immersed in the arena for three or two years, and his blood and evil spirit are more serious.

After leaving the village, Guan Wen seemed very happy. There are people and goods beside the village road. Guan Wen asked Li Xin, "Why don't you go back in a donkey cart?"

Li Xin thought about it and felt that he had money now, so he didn't need to tire his legs too much, so he also nodded.

It was easier to go back in a donkey cart. Yang'er looked at the surrounding scenery with a smile, while Guan Wen stared at Li Xin with a grin.

Li Xin glared at him, turned his head away, his face was stained with scarlet.

It was not yet noon when we returned to the new house in Hehua Village. Guan Wen took Li Xin's baggage graciously, and in one hand he carried the bamboo things brought back by his father-in-law. Sister! We're back!"

A little man ran out from Guan Wu's family some way down the slope, when he saw Yang'er, he screamed and rushed towards him.

Immediately afterwards, the door of Guan Wu's house was also wide open, and Xing'er walked out quickly with a smile. Seeing Li Xin's face was also a little relieved, but she didn't say much, she just greeted Li Xin and said: "Sister-in-law is back?"

Li Xin responded, looked at Xiaokang, and rushed to her lap, excitedly called "Auntie", and then hugged Yang Er, the two little people jumped up and down, Xiaokang shouted loudly: "Brother Yang'er is back!"

Yang'er was sad that he couldn't play with Shanzi anymore, but when he saw Xiaokang, his sad mood was relieved a little, he grinned and said happily, "Brother Xiaokang..."

Myolie waved at them and said, "Go and play by yourself."

The little boy gave a cheer and ran up the slope.Yang'er was still thinking about Erhei, as well as the chickens and rabbits at home.Xiaokang is also eager to show off the latest big top that Guan Wu made for him, and wants to share it with his brother Yang'er.

Guan Wen went up with the things, Myolie took Li Xin's hand and looked her over, saying, "I'm still a little thinner."

"No way, I eat and don't work at my mother's house, so I can't lose weight."

"It's skinny." Myolie said with a smile, "Same as big brother, he's all skinny."

Saying that, Xing'er sighed: "Since you left, Eldest Brother has been feeling unwell. He fell ill. After three days of tossing about seeing the doctor's preparations and taking medicine, he went to Li's Village to look for you as soon as he was able to get out of bed." Xing Er said: "We thought you would come back with Big Brother, but Big Brother came back alone. During this time, he ran around busy with many things. The house is well organized, but it seems a bit deserted."

Xing'er took Li Xin's hand, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "This time, elder brother and father-in-law have made everything clear. When he had a showdown with father-in-law that day, his tone was unprecedentedly severe, and A Wudu I was taken aback, and my father-in-law didn't even dare to say a word."

Xing'er laughed and said, "Recently my father-in-law is pretending to be in a daze and hiding in the old house, and he doesn't even come out."

Li Xin raised his eyebrows slightly: "What happened to him?"

"What else could happen?" Xing'er sighed, "It's about Diao Lao Yao."

Xing'er hesitated for a moment, and said: "I don't know what Diao Laoyao's plan is. During this period of time, I haven't come to trouble my father-in-law, but I always wander around the old house, which makes people feel nervous. Diao Laoyao... It looks like brown sugar, and I can't shake it off, so I don't know what father-in-law's plans are in the future."

Li Xin was surprised and said, "Didn't you say that Diao Laoyao wants to rely on you... He hasn't asked yet?"

"Bring it up." Xing'er shook her head slightly: "Ah Wu said that the old demon Diao asked his father-in-law for money, how much he asked for, and I don't know how many times it will take, and Ah Wu doesn't care much about his father-in-law. This is what the fourth brother said when chatting with him."

Xing'er paused, and said: "By the way, the fourth brother is now planting the six-fen paddy field, and it seems that it is a bit difficult for him alone. The fourth brother is not thinking about farming, he wants to do business... It seems that he mentioned this matter to his father-in-law , the father-in-law was upset, and the two had a fight. The fourth sibling came to me crying that day."

Li Xin naturally knew that Guan Quan was not a person who would be willing to spend his whole life digging in the fields. Guan Quan was thoughtful, intelligent and well-connected. If he wanted to do something else, it would definitely be faster than farming.It’s just that Guan Quan and Guan Zhicheng have not been separated from the old house now, and Guan Ming will never let go of Guan Quan, a labor force who has not been separated from the family—if Guan Quan is also separated, the Guan family will be his And close the commitment.He was a little lazy, and he would definitely not be happy to expect him to farm; Guan Zhicheng was also a scholar who claimed to be a future official, and he didn't know much about farming.

Guan Ming would not let Guan Quan go out to do business so easily, let alone separate his family.

Li Xin paused, then asked Myolie, "What about the four siblings?"

"Come to me and cry." Xing'er sighed: "I heard her tone was a little bit of blaming the fourth younger brother, probably saying that they are pretty good at guarding the six-point paddy fields, and the fourth younger brother thinks about it seven times. Eighth, in the end, there is nothing to cry about because of the whole mess, the land is the root, how can it be lost. That's probably what it means."

Xing'er said: "Let me tell Ah Wu to persuade my fourth brother if you don't talk about what's inside and outside. How can you accept my words..."

Li Xin was silent, and said: "She asked you to tell the second brother, you can just mention it lightly. If the fourth brother really makes up his mind, the second brother can't stop it."

"That's right, the fourth brother has such a temper..." Xing'er paused and said, "It seems that he is amiable and doesn't fight with others, but if he really makes a decision, I'm afraid it will be impossible to pull him back."

"We are considered outsiders in matters between husband and wife. It's not good to get involved."

Li Xin smiled, looked up the slope and said, "Has Xiaokang been crying these days? When I left, I saw him crying very sadly."

"Cry, I think the cakes I make are not as delicious as yours. It's so delicious. Suddenly, no one makes delicious cakes for him to eat, and no one plays with him. I have been unhappy for a long time. .”

Xing'er smiled, pushed Li Xin and said, "Hurry up and go back too, without you, the house would be deserted."

Just as he was talking, Li Xin pulled Xing'er up the hill together, and Guan Wen came down after only one step.

Guan Wen said: "Second brother and sister, have you seen my sister?"

"Amei?" Xing'er said, "Didn't Amei go to the old house?"

Guan Wen suddenly frowned and asked, "What are you doing at the old house?"

"I seem to have heard Sixth Brother's voice just now." Xing'er paused and said, "Did Sixth Brother ask Amei to go?"

Li Xin looked at Guan Wen, Guan Wen also looked over, and said, "Xin'er, you go back first, I'll go to the old house to have a look."

Then he went down the slope towards the direction of the old house.

Xing'er pulled Li Xin uphill, Li Xin glanced at Guan Wen's back, thoughtful.Xing'er looked at her like that and couldn't help but said to her: "My sister was not in a good mood after you left. Jia Matchmaker came here, and my elder brother asked me to help with the reception. It's not easy for a girl to show her face to arrange her own marriage. "

"sorry to bother you."

"What kind of trouble is this?" Xing'er sighed, "The whole family was there when the elder brother warned the father-in-law. When the elder brother left, the father-in-law would say that he had a chest pain and something wrong and gave birth to an unfilial son. A-mei is also kind-hearted, thinking After all, it was her father. The next day, he stewed chicken soup and sent it to the old house. When I came back that day, I saw her face was not very good. Go every day…”

Li Xin couldn't help frowning, Xing'er said: "Brother is busy with other things, and he doesn't care about her, and he doesn't notice that she is going to the old house. I don't know what's going on..."

Li Xin paused, and asked, "Ah-mei, do you cook chicken soup every day?"

"It doesn't count, but I cook a pot every other day." Xing'er sighed: "I guess she didn't drink it herself, so she gave it all to her father-in-law."

Li Xin's face turned a little cold.

When I got back to the house, it was indeed the same as what Xing'er said, there was no big change, but I did look a little deserted.The old juncture was in the old house, and Amei also ran to the old house. Guan Wen was busy with things and didn't stay at home. After all, there was no one at home.

After going back to the house to pack up the baggage, Li Xin went to the bamboo forest to the east and counted the chickens, the number was indeed a little less.

There were also two or three rabbits missing.

After moving the stool out, Li Xin and Xing'er's sister-in-law sat down, watching Xiaokang and Yang'er playing with the spinning top in the yard.

Xiaokang said: "Father said he would make me a big hoop and let me roll it for fun!"

When the word "big" was mentioned, Xiaokang raised his voice, dragging on the word for a long time.

Yang'er looked enviously at Xiaokang playing with the top, puffed out his chest and said, "My father lifted me up high."

"My dad did it too!" Speaking of Xiaokang, he approached Yang'er: "Where did brother Yanger go to play? Did you play anything else?"

Yang'er remembered the crazy play with Shanzi near grandpa and grandma's house, nodded quickly, and said: "I will introduce you to my new brother in the future." After a pause, he continued: "I will teach you how to write."

Xing'er looked at the two children so close, she couldn't help smiling, and said, "Three years old and old, your family's Yang'er is calm, and my family's well-off family is weak, but now Yang'er has brought a brighter personality."

"The first two babies are not very cheerful. This is the lack of playmates. Of course it is different to have playmates."

Li Xin answered with a smile, and asked Xing'er: "The matter of Diao Lao Yao...does the fourth sibling know?"

Xing'er shook her head: "She really wants to know, when she came to me and complained to me that day, she also made indirect questions, but I pushed her back."

Xing'er waved her hand and said: "If it's about the father-in-law, it's not good to delay it, just to be sure that Diao Laoyao will think of some crooked tricks again. But now he treats his mother strictly, I still think he He wanted to bring his mother and father-in-law together."

Li Xin smiled: "Even if the Diao family wanted it, the Guan family would not be happy."

"Hey, I don't know what other people's plans are, so we have nowhere to start." Xing'er paused, and said, "Brother really doesn't care about the old demon... Big brother said that when he warned the father-in-law that day, and broke out by himself." Let him solve the disaster by himself, and he can't control the things of the previous generation."

Li Xin laughed and asked, "Then the second brother doesn't care?"

"He has always listened to his elder brother." Xing'er sighed, "If he doesn't care, let's just ignore it. Speaking of this matter, I really don't know where to start."

While the two were talking, someone shouted down the slope, it was Guan Wu's voice.Xing'er hurriedly responded, looked at the sun and said, "Oh, it's almost noon!"

Then he pulled Li Xin: "I'm afraid the stove at your house is cold right now, so come to my house to eat. A Wu told me when the elder brother left yesterday, and the elder brother will definitely bring you back today. Let's eat at my house for lunch." Eat at our house."

Li Xin was also not polite, and said: "Then I will trouble you, I will get a piece of bacon and cook it."

Speaking of which, Li Xin went to the stove to get a piece of moderate fat and thin, and was about to turn around and leave, but saw some smoke still coming out of the stove, and when he took a closer look, there were faint sparks in the stove.

Li Xin paused in his heart, and reached out to pick up the lid of the small hot pot between the two big pots, and the smell of warm chicken soup still wafted from his nostrils.

Xing'er followed in and said, "Don't take a big piece, you won't be able to finish it if you cook too much..."

While talking, I saw Li Xindun there, holding the lid of the pot in one hand and staring at the small pot.

Xing'er got closer and saw the oil floating on the top of the pot, paused for a moment, smelled the smell, and then looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin remained calm, put the lid on the pot, and said, "Wait for me."

As he spoke, he lifted the bacon in his hand, smiled at Xing'er, and said, "Help me carry it, I'll get this pot up."

"You..." Xing'er hesitated for a while, and said, "This is probably what my sister stewed for my father-in-law..."

"I know, but they want to eat lunch, and we also want to eat it. We can't eat it after they eat it, right?"

Li Xin twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Let's go."

Xing'er didn't mention it any more, she went out with a bamboo hook for hanging bacon, and greeted two smiling kids to go to her house.

Seeing Li Xin, Guan Wu smirked, called "Sister-in-law", hugged Yang'er again and said, "Boy, you're stronger now!"

Xing'er laughed and said: "He recently worked part-time at the house of the old man surnamed An. The sandy land is not fertile, so he doesn't do much to take care of the peanuts he planted."

Guan Wu scratched his head and said, "The money for part-time labor is much more than the money for farming. The sandy land looks like a lot, and I don't need to clean it up. Just sow the seeds and wait for the harvest."

"It's not bad to find other ways to earn money." Li Xin smiled, but paused before speaking, and asked, "Master An?"

"Yes, it's the old man surnamed An." Guan Wu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, remember? At that time, I was not helping people find stones, but I didn't receive my wages for a few days. Later, the old man surnamed An asked the foreman to make up for it." I paid money, and also gave compensation, and I said I was lucky. The foreman said that the old man surnamed An was a kind person, but he was really a kind person. If he started work again and asked him to do the work of picking stones, I went to work again. If you go, you will get more money than looking for stones.”

Xing'er said: "The money is more, but the work of picking stones is a bit tiring."

"It's okay, it's only about twenty days left." Guan Wu smiled.

Li Xin frowned slightly and was about to speak when Guan Wen's voice came from outside the door.Xing'er hurried to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, she saw Guan Wen's face was gloomy, followed by a sister with tear stains on her face.
