Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 392 Silk Flower
The road on Guanwu's side was compacted, the flat places were ground down, and the places with ramps were also made into steps.Guan Wen and Guan Wu went to see this trail that had been studied and discussed many times. After looking around for a while, the two brothers discussed it for a while, and then Guan Wu said goodbye and said he was going back.

Turning around but paused again, Guan Wu turned back to Guan Wen and said, "Brother, did Dad come to trouble you today?"

Guan Wen hesitated for a moment, and then replied after a pause: "The man came once, but then left again."

"Gone?" Guan Wu was slightly surprised: "Did he make a fuss?"

"No."

Guan Wu was a little surprised by Guan Wen's answer, but it really didn't look like he had been quarreled with at the big brother's house, and the big brother would not tell him the truth.

Guan Wu scratched his head and said, "It's fine if there's no fuss..." But he was thinking in his heart, how could it be, according to his father's temperament, shouldn't he make a fuss?
He was straight-minded, but he didn't think much about it, and walked back quickly.

Guan Wen looked at the sky, walked around and re-measured the ground in the yard, and stepped hard on a spot.Yang'er swept the floor to the edge, saw Guan Wen stomping there and hurriedly said, "Father, don't rub the mud on it! Yang'er just swept it clean!"

"What's the matter?" Li Xin came out, and when he heard Yang'er's words, he smiled and looked at Guan Wen. Guan Wen also said with a smile on his face: "Father didn't dirty Yang'er, even if it was dirty, Dad cleaned it for Yang'er." clean, okay?"

Yang'er's cheeks puffed up on both sides, and he hummed twice and said, "Father must keep his word."

Guan Wen nodded vigorously in agreement, while Yang Er continued to sweep the floor with the broom in satisfaction.

"Isn't this place also muddy? It's dry and hard when it's dry or not. If it's raining, it's useless to sweep it." Guan Wen approached Li Xin softly and said with a smile.

"Yang'er didn't think too much about it, just follow his wishes. The little boy loves to be clean and cherishes the fruits of labor, which is worthy of encouragement." Li Xinyan smiled at Yanyan, looked around the yard, and asked, "What about the cellar?" Have you figured it out?"

"Well, in two days, I will find a master to help us dig in detail. I think this place will work."

Guan Wen nodded, and looked at Li Xin with a smile again: "Tomorrow is a rush to the sky, didn't you say that you will sell the rabbits, don't feed them in the future, and sell the older chickens as well? go."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not that rushed."

"It's not rushing, but since I thought of it, let's do it quickly. It just so happens that the rabbit shed has been vacated, so I can move to another place, which doesn't take up much space."

Li Xin thinks about it too, since the cellar needs to be dug, the rabbit shed is really in the way.He responded, and called Erhei again.

Er Hei ran out in a long strip, circled around Li Xin a few times and then stopped, turning his head slightly to look at her with an innocent expression.

Guan Wen smiled and said, "I haven't seen it much these days."

"It's used to running around, so let it go. Anyway, this place is big enough."

Li Xin stretched out his hand and scratched Erhei's ear, and said, "I asked you to take care of the nursing home for us. You can't see anyone all day long. The bigger you get, the more you like to run out, and you won't come home anymore. .”

Erhei naturally couldn't understand Li Xin's words, Li Xin scratched it to make it comfortable, so it just squinted its eyes and rubbed in the direction of Li Xin's hand.

Guan Wen said: "I'll go and get Grandpa out, it's time for dinner, right?"

"Well, it'll be fine soon."

After dinner, Guan Wen took the cages and put the rabbits in them one by one.Li Xin picked up the eggs laid by the hens, caught the old hens and put them in cages.There were more than a dozen rabbits laying on the ground in white snow in the rabbit shed. Yang'er picked a rotten vegetable leaf and squatted in front of one of the cages, stretched out his hand to feed the rabbits, his eyes were red.

Li Xin came over to set up the chicken coop, heard Yang'er sobbing, knelt down and said, "Yang'er is a man, you can't cry."

"Why did mother sell all the little rabbits?" Yang'er turned to look at Li Xin, her small face was slightly wrinkled, and her clear eyes were like twinkling stars in the night sky.

Li Xin said: "Because my mother and sister-in-law are not good at feeding rabbits, and it takes a lot of energy to take care of them, and my mother can't spare time, so I can only sell them." Li Xin touched Yang'er's The head said: "Besides, Yang'er needs to eat, wear clothes, read and write. Mother sells them so that Yang'er can live a better life."

Yang'er hurriedly said: "Then Yang'er can't afford to eat and wear, so he can practice calligraphy on the stone board!"

Li Xin smiled and asked him, "Is Yang'er reluctant to part with Little Tutu?"

Yang'er nodded, sobbing.

"Yang'er is a kind and good boy." Li Xin praised Yang'er's little face, and said to him with a smile: "But Yang'er, keep the rabbits at home, just feed them, take care of them, and clean these things for them. Poop, it's a very tedious and tiring thing, and there is no benefit. Mother and sister-in-law are very tired, and Yang'er is too young to take care of them. Zuzu, father, mother, and sister-in-law, Yang'er, We all have to eat, right? I’m going to take care of Tutu, if we don’t have food, we’ll be in even worse trouble.”

Yang Er looked at Li Xin, her nose still twitching.

Li Xin smiled and said: "Yang'er is good, when Yang'er grows up, he can take care of the rabbits, mother will let Dad catch the rabbits for you and let Yang'er take care of them, okay?"

"Then... that mother must keep her word."

"Mother must keep her word."

After comforting Yang'er, Li Xin took him by the hand, took him to wash up, and then sent him to bed.A-mei suggested that Yang'er should sleep with her for one night, and Li Xin agreed.

A-mei said: "Sister-in-law wants to build a separate room for Yang'er, so why not arrange Fifth Sister's room as Yang'er's room. As for Fifth Sister, let her live with me when I come back." ?”

Li Xin smiled and said, "It's feasible now, but when you get married and come back with your uncle, isn't this room still not enough?"

A-mei blushed immediately, and Li Xin smiled and said: "Your suggestion can be used now, and it will be fine for a year or so." As he spoke, he looked around the courtyard structure of the house, and said: "When the house was built, there is nothing wrong with it. Thinking too much, now I feel that there are too few rooms in this house."

Li Xin was thinking, how about adding another room behind the main room?It just so happened that there was an open space there, and she still thought it was empty!
"Go to bed early, tomorrow morning I will go to the town with your elder brother and sell those rabbits and chickens."

A-mei nodded, and Li Xin said again: "The old hen left one up, let it stay in the chicken coop with a red rope tied to its feet. Go and talk to your second brother and sister-in-law tomorrow morning." Say something, let them come over for supper and lunch at noon, and come back to stew hen soup for grandpa and your second sister-in-law to replenish their health. You catch the chicken tomorrow and don’t feed it.”

"I know my sister-in-law."

After explaining the matter, each went to sleep without mentioning it.

Guan Wen and Li Xin got up early in the morning of the second day. Guan Wen took a pole and picked chickens on one side and rabbits on the other. Li Xin followed behind with two rabbit cages that were not installed. I got on an ox cart in the village that was just going to catch a trip to the town.

The sale of chickens and rabbits went smoothly, and there happened to be a restaurant doing big business, so they bought the chickens without much bargaining with Guan Wen and the others.The rabbits were also bought one after another, and the bamboo cage was a gift from Guan Wen. After selling out the chickens and rabbits, the two of them felt at ease.

Li Xin counted the money in his hand and smiled slightly.

Guan Wen asked her to keep the money, looked at the sky and said, "It's sold out earlier than expected, will you go back now?"

Li Xin nodded and said: "There is nothing else, let's go back to Zhenkou now, rent a donkey cart and drive back."

"It's too late for lunch."

"It's okay, just eat as much as you can, and you can eat well at night if you have an empty stomach."

Guan Wen took Li Xin's hand and walked towards the entrance of the town, surrounded by peddlers and street vendors selling flowers, pearls and hairpins.Guan Wen stopped and pulled Li Xin and said, "Buy a hairpin and go back?"

Li Xin immediately pulled him up and said, "Why buy that, I don't like to dress up." After thinking for a while, he said: "But you can buy it, take it back to my sister."

Guan Wen raised his eyebrows, and Li Xin smiled and said, "I haven't visited Wei's house since I told the Wei family about the engagement. I thought about coming to town to see your fourth brother and the others in two days anyway, so I'll go to Wei's house by the way." Let’s make a trip. At that time, let Amei dress up neatly and generously. After all, she is a young girl. Buy her a hairpin or hairpin ring or something, and let her dress up well. Aunt Wei likes it, and Wei Shusheng is also there. also……"

Li Xin gently bumped Guan Wen's arm, and blinked at him: "Got it?"

Guan Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but felt sad for a moment, he took Li Xin's hand and said, "You have never dressed up well after following me..."

It suddenly occurred to him that before Li Xin was abducted into the kiln by the unscrupulous human trafficker, she was also a flower in Lijia Village, and he had vaguely heard that her appearance in the kiln was also of the upper class. It is necessary to dress up.She doesn't dress up now, is it because... she is afraid that she will think of the past when she puts on makeup in the mirror?

Guan Wen looked at Li Xin, and couldn't help but put his arms around her shoulders.

Li Xin was taken aback for a moment, and immediately tweeted Guan Wen: "What are you doing, on this street..."

"What are you afraid of, we are husband and wife."

Guan Wen smiled at Li Xin, hugged her and walked in front of the peddler, who immediately smiled and asked, "What do you two want to see? My rouge, gouache, pearls and hairpins are all good, big brother, Buy a pair for your daughter-in-law?"

Li Xin laughed, Guan Wen carefully selected a silver hairpin and two beaded flowers, looked again, picked up a flower made of fine silk, turned around and compared it to Li Xin's wooden hairpin .

Li Xin was slightly taken aback, Guan Wen looked at her with a smile and said, "This is pretty."

"What am I wearing this for..." Li Xin blushed slightly, but the corners of her mouth still curled up involuntarily.

The shopkeeper next to him naturally said jokingly: "Little lady, your man loves you! There are not many men who usually buy women's jewelry from me for their daughter-in-law!"

Guan Wen paid the price, and the shopkeeper took a plain handkerchief to wrap up all the jewelry for him.Guan Wen took out the silk flower, wrapped the rest in his bosom, but tied the silk flower behind the hairpin for Li Xin.

"What are you doing..." Li Xin was naturally embarrassed, but Guan Wen smiled and said, "It looks good."

While talking, he dragged Li Xin to the entrance of the town, but when he was about to approach the entrance of the town, he saw his acquaintance, Fourth Master Shen.
