Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 296
Xing'er was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, "What's going on..."

A-mei sniffed, called "Second Sister-in-law", and stared into the room.

Li Xin came out, Amei's nose was red, seeing someone hurried over to hold Li Xin's arm, and called softly: "Sister-in-law."

Li Xin smiled at her and said, "Your face is all stained, go wash it quickly."

A-mei gave a heavily nasal "hmm", glanced timidly at Guan Wen, and went to the back of the kitchen.

Guan Wen walked in without saying a word, and closed the door behind his back.Guan Wu didn't know how to look at him, so he asked Guan Wen in a daze, "Brother, what's wrong, you made my sister cry?"

"What am I yelling at her for?"

Guan Wen answered angrily, seeing Li Xin looking at him, he finally stopped talking, and said, "It's almost noon, hurry up and get some food, I'll go to the stone field and call the Feng family boy over."

"Brother, I'll go." Guan Wu scratched his head and said, "I almost forgot."

Then he said to Xing'er: "Hurry up and make lunch, I'll call the Feng family boy, and dinner will be ready soon."

Xing'er replied, patted Guan Wu's shoulder, and went out with him to the courtyard gate, then said in a low voice: "Brother's complexion is not good, he just came back from father-in-law's side, and sister-in-law also came back from there Yes, don't ask too much."

Guan Wu bulged his eyes, thinking about going to call Feng Defa, muttered "Father has a moth again", and went uphill to the stone field.

Xing'er and Li Xin got busy in the kitchen, Xing'er had already done half of it earlier, and there was nothing too big to do.Li Xin boiled hot water, cleaned the bacon, and cooked it in a pot. The chicken soup he brought was poured into the pot to simmer.

Sitting in front of the stove, A-Mei choked and looked at Li Xin, and said, "Sister-in-law, I..."

Li Xin smiled, interrupted her hesitation and said: "I'm still busy with things, so let's not talk about this for now, we'll talk about it after eating."

A-mei could see that Li Xin didn't want to talk, so she timidly shut her mouth, not daring to speak.

Xing'er glanced at the two of them, then silently lowered her head to set the dishes.

When Guan Wu came back, the rice happened to be served on the table.

Feng Defa wore a hat on his head, wrapped his hands tightly, and took off his hat and coat at the gate of the courtyard, his face was still flushed.

He had just come to Lotus Village to help Li Xin with beekeeping when he ran into the Hou family's affairs, and now Li Xin felt a little awkward looking at him.Feng Defa called out "Sister Guan" generously, and Li Xin had no choice but to answer him with a smile.

Because Feng Defa was still in the period of filial piety, the clothes he wore were also dark to show his dignity.He's a tall guy with a good personality.

Li Xin looked at him and thought of Axiu's marriage. When serving the dishes, he gently pulled Xing'er and asked, "Axiu didn't come back when I was away?"

"No." Xing'er paused and said, "But I brought something along with a letter. You know I can't read a lot of Chinese characters, and I don't know what she said, but I kept the letter. ..."

Xing'er said in a low voice: "Big brother was busy negotiating with the Hou family at that time, and the things were taken back by father-in-law, it was this matter that made elder brother angry, and he explained it clearly to father-in-law in front of the whole family. "

Li Xin frowned, and asked, "What did Axiu bring back?"

"A box of things, some paper and ink, seems to be brought to Yang'er. In addition, there are a few furs, which are warm to the touch, and some dried fruits in the north, which are only sold in grocery stores. The kind." Xing'er said: "Papa said that the paper and ink are for the sixth brother, and the fur to keep him warm. If his legs are cold or something, use it to apply it. The sixth brother is weak, so use it to make good clothes for him."

Xing'er said helplessly: "I told my father-in-law at the time that Axiu brought it back to my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and my father-in-law glared at me, saying that it's possible that the girl brought something back to honor him?"

Xing'er spread her hands: "He said that, what can I do, I can't withhold it from him."

"Take it, just take it, with shallow eyelids." Li Xin chuckled: "I don't know what's the point of taking advantage of it."

"After the eldest brother came back and heard about it, he went to the old house and didn't give father-in-law any face in front of all of us."

Xing'er said and bumped into Li Xin: "I'm protecting you..."

Li Xin smiled, and Xing'er said: "I guess I was angry with the eldest brother. The elder brother asked him to hand over the things in the box, but the father-in-law refused to hand it over. He said that the elder brother didn't care about him at all. He has old cold legs. Now After being beaten, the body became weaker. Waiting for this winter to see that the fur can keep warm and the elder brother will search for it... Finally, the grandfather was also alarmed, and the elder brother did not continue to ask the father-in-law for fear. Make grandpa angry."

Speaking of the old juncture, Li Xin immediately asked, "Grandpa still lives in the old house?"

"I'm living here." Xing'er said, "father-in-law won't let grandpa come back, saying that he wants to be filial to grandpa. These days, grandpa has been staying in the old house and has never come out. I heard that you went back to your mother's house and scolded father-in-law, saying that you would When I came back here, I was stopped by my father-in-law. Grandpa's heart was also soft, and he didn't come back in the end."

Li Xin frowned, patted Xing'er's hand, and said, "Got it."

Gathered around a table for dinner, Li Xin didn't have much to say, so he picked up some food for Yang'er and Xiaokang, and then ate by himself, that's about it.Guan Wen, Guan Wu, and Feng Defa chatted, but it was just about beekeeping, about the rocky land, and what Guan Wen thought at the beginning, to build a road between his house and Guan Wu's house things.It's quite vigorous, at least while eating and chatting, there is no silence.

Guan Wen's family was about to go back after dinner, and Amei followed Li Xin silently.Feng Defa greeted Guan Wen and went to the stone field, saying that he would take a nap before getting up to work.

Yang'er and Xiaokang were talking together, and Li Xin told Yang'er to ignore him.

Don't be too strict with the boys, otherwise the fun of the little ones will be lost. Li Xin still prefers to see Yang'er smiling, with curved eyes, very cute.

As soon as he got up the slope, there was an object flying towards him. Li Xin was startled, and he staggered back two steps. When he took a closer look, it was Erhei.

I haven't seen Erhei for quite a while, and I didn't see him at home just now, but now he has come home.

Li Xin reached out and touched Erhei's head, compared his length, and said, "It seems to be longer?"

Guan Wendao: "If it grows longer, it will be as tall as a human. What kind of dog is this?"

"You don't even know, how could I know?"

Li Xin squatted down and rubbed Erhei's head. It was so fluffy all over and felt very comfortable to the touch.

Erhei snorted, and put a paw obediently on Li Xin's knee.Li Xin laughed immediately, praised it, patted it on the back and stood up.

Erhei followed Li Xin and circled around Li Xin twice.

A-mei shouted timidly: "Sister-in-law..."

Li Xin turned around and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"I……"

"Sister-in-law go back to your house, brother has something to tell your sister-in-law."

Guan Wen suddenly interjected, interrupting Amei's words.A-mei's eyes were red immediately, and she walked towards her room in frustration, her steps seemed a little heavy.

"Just talk about things when you talk about them. Do you need to talk loudly to my sister?" Li Xin said, and headed towards the house.

Erhei would never enter their room, and it was the same this time. Seeing that Li Xin's goal was a place where it never went, he obediently stopped his paws, stood there and stared at his master as he entered.

Guan Wen then came in and closed the door.

"Xin'er." He called out, sat down on the stool and said, "My sister..."

Seemingly finding it difficult to speak, Guan Wen said after a while: "I just found out today that she takes the chicken stew from home and brings it to Dad every other day."

Li Xin said "Oh" lightly, and asked him with a half-smile: "And then? Did you scold her? Otherwise, why would she be crying when she came back?"

Guan Wen paused, and said: "I've been running outside every day these days, and I haven't paid attention to her affairs. I've already mentioned her." Then he sighed and said: "My sister is soft-tempered, dad said What, as long as the request is not excessive, she will probably comply."

"It's just a few chickens. I wouldn't blame Amei for this."

Li Xin glanced at Guan Wen: "You don't have to worry about my opinion of her."

Guan Wen shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant..." He sighed again, and said, "Forget it, she has learned her lesson, and she won't believe in anything in the future."

This made Li Xin a little curious, and asked, "What happened when you went there?"

Is there another reason for Amei to cry?

Guan Wen didn't want her to worry too much, and said, "Don't worry about it, I know you'll be bothered by what's going on with Dad."

On the contrary, when the names of Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng were mentioned, Li Xin felt uncomfortable.

She didn't intend to inquire, but if she didn't listen, others would always tell her.

In the afternoon, Guan Wen went to the stone field to clean up the stones. Yang'er was tired from playing and came back to take a nap. Li Xin was sorting out the bamboo fabrics that her father asked Guan Wen to bring back. Called at the door of the storage room: "Sister-in-law."

Li Xin turned around and smiled at her, and said, "It's time to sleep, why don't you take a rest?"

After asking a question, my sister shed tears, she was wronged, and said: "Sister-in-law, why is he like this..."

Li Xin was taken aback, but Amei wiped her face and said: "I also said that he was beaten and lay on the bed, and he was pitiful. Brother, he didn't feel sorry for Dad. After all, he was our dad, but I didn't expect Dad to actually ..."

A-mei choked out: "I still stew chicken soup for my dad every other day, but I didn't eat a single bite..."

Ameituan suddenly burst into tears with a "wow": "Brother is ignoring me now, and sister-in-law is blaming me too..."

Li Xin was taken aback, unable to laugh or cry, and said, "I don't blame you."

"Sister-in-law blames me, I know, and sister-in-law doesn't talk to me much." A-mei looked at Li Xin with tears all over her face, and said, "Sister-in-law must be disappointed in me..."
