Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 76
Back at Guan's house, just in time for the old juncture, a few people were having dinner.

Guan Quan put down his bowl and chopsticks and came out, enthusiastically said: "Brother and Brother, are you back?"

"I'm back. Are you eating?"

"Well, I'll go get you more bowls and chopsticks." Guan Quan took two empty backs and put them aside, and went into the kitchen to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks.Li Xin fetched water, and the others washed their faces before going to eat.

Now Li Xin has also discovered the benefits of eating at separate tables when there are many people - at least she doesn't have to face her father-in-law and Guan Zhicheng during the meal.Although the two of them may not be embarrassing at the dinner table, she always feels uncomfortable when facing them.

It is not difficult to do the work that has already been done, such as eating, washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen.Guan Quan said that the pigs had already been fed, and Li Xin had to prepare the pigweed for tomorrow morning.

By the time everything was done, it was already late at night, and my hands were extremely dry and cracked.Seeing that winter is coming, the fingers of these hands were not wet with spring water before. If they are worn out, it will be difficult to restore them.Li Xin likes his skillful hands quite a bit. The original owner can do needlework and housework, which is much more useful than him who only knows how to add, subtract, multiply and divide with a pen.

Hands are a woman's second face.It is not what she likes to see if the skin is excessively injured by hands, and the joints are thickened or even deformed.Although the hands of many women in the countryside are so rough, especially after middle age, they are comparable to men, only one size smaller, but Li Xin doesn't want their hands to become like that.

They can only take care of themselves.

After washing my hands, I wiped off the water, and I didn't let go of the nails.Li Xin took some vinegar and mixed some water, mixed it together, wiped his hands with the vinegar water, and then took not too hot wax oil and applied it lightly on his hands.

Guan Wenyi leaned on the bed and watched his daughter-in-law sitting and working in front of the dressing table, and said with a soft smile, "You women just like to be particular."

"If you don't pay attention, how can you men benefit?" Li Xin glanced at Guan Wen reproachfully, "Don't tell me that compared to white and tender hands, you like to touch my rough hands. Don't be too cautious Panic?"

"Yes, yes, I was the wrong wife." Guan Wen sat up, got out of bed and bent over to hug her, rubbed his chin against her shoulder, touched her slender wrist and picked it up to look at.

"Is this really useful? Seeing that you do this every day, you don't see how slippery your hands can be."

"How smooth do you want?" Li Xin pushed him with a shoulder, "Have you touched too many slippery hands?"

Guan Wen choked on these words, touched his nose and smiled embarrassingly, "It's okay if I said the wrong thing, I'm always being squeezed by you."

Li Xin snorted softly, turned half of his body and leaned into Guan Wen's arms, and gave him a box of Scar Removing Spirit from the dressing table, "You insisted on applying it, didn't you find that the scars on your face have faded?"

The scar-removing spirit was given to her by the daughter-in-law who knew her well when she was working in the Cui Mansion. Seeing that the scars on her face were a bit scary, the daughter-in-law said that the scar-removing spirit from Anhe Pharmacy was pretty good. The youngest son fell and left a mark on his face, which disappeared after three months of wiping.There was still some left, so the daughter-in-law gave it to Li Xin and asked her to give Guan Wen a try. If the effect was good, it would be okay to buy it at Anhe Drugstore.

So Li Xin paid attention to it, and smeared Guan Wen every night. Needless to say, after using it for a month, the scar did fade a bit, not as hideous as it used to be.Seeing that the box of Scar Removing Spirit given by others was about to run out, Li Xin thought about buying two boxes from Anhe Pharmacy the next time he went to the market, and continue to use them for Guan Wen.Although there is no guarantee that the scars will be completely removed, it would be good if they can be lightened. It would be even better if children would not be afraid of seeing Guan Wen in the future.

Guan Wen touched his face, "Is it lighter? I can't quite see it."

"No way, I met Shusheng Wei today, Aunt Wei told me that Brother Wei told her that you had a deep scar on your face, but when she saw it today, she didn't think it was as scary as what Brother Wei described. "Li Xin chuckled and said: "You can have such a result in a month, this medicine is really effective. Don't tell me, the first time we met Brother Wei, did he just talk to me and dare not look at you? What? This time he can chat with you."

Thinking about it carefully, Guan Wen could only honestly take the Scar Removing Spirit from Li Xin's hand and apply it on his face.

This Scar Removing Spirit smelled a faint medicinal fragrance, and looked slightly dark. If it was white, it would be no different from the face cream that the girl uses at home.

Guan Wen has always felt that for a man, applying this kind of thing is a bit like smearing powder, and he was quite repulsed at first, but his wife couldn't help staring at it, so he could only do it like this every night.

Both husband and wife do maintenance.

Quscarling will penetrate into the skin after applying it, so there is no need to wash it.Li Xin waited for a stick of incense to wash his hands before coming back. As soon as he went to bed, Guan Wen hugged him in his arms. Guan Wen murmured as he breathed and heard each other: "Daughter-in-law, you smell so sweet." ..."

Li Xin does not treat herself badly when it comes to taking care of her body. Although she doesn't touch makeup and powder, face cream is basic, and she has to put it on her face every morning and evening.Not only her like this, Axiu also learned it, Li Xin also bought face cream for her and Amei, but thinking about the tenderness of the little girl's face, it is better to apply it when the climate is dry in winter, if the face feels dry The test can also be wiped.

Li Xin turned his face to smell his face, hummed twice pretending to be disgusted, "You stink."

Guan Wen smiled and said, "Well, how dare you despise me."

Li Xin let him move, turned his back to him, clasped his shoulders with his hands, and said softly, "My shoulders are very sore, please rub them for me first."

Guan Wen was in high spirits, his expression paused when he heard this, and he retracted his hands in a proper manner, put his hands on her shoulders and rubbed them lightly, and asked in a harmonious voice, "Is it possible to use such strength?"

Li Xin nodded.I also know that my daughter-in-law has been tired all day, and she is not in a good mood in the morning. I am afraid that I am not in the mood to deal with him now. I honestly rub her shoulders and back, and sometimes ask a few words softly, and gradually I can’t hear Li Xin’s words. Responding, he lowered his head to take a look, his daughter-in-law was already asleep, breathing evenly, exhaling like blue.

Guan Wen sighed secretly, got up and blew out the candle, carefully turned Li Xin over and hugged her lightly, rubbing her shoulders with his hands, and gradually fell asleep.

This day was the day when Guan Zhicheng invited his husband Zhang Zishan to dinner. Li Xin had taken charge of this matter, so naturally he had to handle it well.Two days ago, she went to buy scar-removing spirit and some non-embroidered plain handkerchiefs. By the way, she bought gifts for her husband and the squire, as well as ingredients that could not be bought in the village.After all, it was bought in the town, and others can't find too much reason.

It cost nearly a tael of silver just to buy these, and Li Xin had a toothache.

She is not a person who is reluctant to spend money, and the money she can make decisions in her hands is almost ten taels, not counting her own private dowry.She is not stingy either, she needs to use the money where it should be spent. Treating the private school masters to dinner, giving gifts to the country gentry for them to recommend Guan Zhicheng to take the Tongsheng Examination are legitimate ways to spend money, but she is not happy in her heart, thinking that Guan Wen is really serious. Very bad.

Raising a son is the responsibility of being an old man, and letting the elder brother take care of everything, what the heck.

I don't know if Guan Wen told his father about Guan Zhicheng's Shu Xiu Yinzi.

After buying the things, Guan Zhicheng can go to the ground.Axiu was angry when she saw him moaning without illness, but now she didn't dare to provoke him, after all, she provoked the beating, Guan Zhicheng looked a little vicious looking at her now.

Axiu whispered to Li Xin, "Brother didn't slap his legs, he hit his back, lying on the bed for who to watch."

"Your elder brother kicked him."

"You can't get out of bed with just one kick?" Axiu pursed her lips and said, "Your body is really weak."

Li Xin laughed, "The one who can't help but describe it is a girl."

"I look at him like a mother-in-law, without any responsibility for a man." Axiu hummed twice and went to do needlework with Amei again.

Ever since she tasted the sweetness of owning money, she and A-mei have been more focused on needlework these days.In addition to doing some housework, eating and sleeping every day, I don't care about anything else.Because Li Xin said that Xiaoxue was going to Yuanguang Temple that day, Axiu and Amei wanted to go too, one wanted to watch the fun, and the other could also earn money.So they are very busy during this period of time.

Guan Zhicheng was very considerate, thinking about it, he also knew that he had failed the two child entrance exams, which was a bit embarrassing, but this time he tried his best to curry favor with his husband.

He first went to look at the gifts Li Xin bought, and he was barely satisfied, but he still felt that they were not up to the standard.She pursed her mouth and went to the kitchen to look at the ingredients.

Although he admitted that Li Xin's craftsmanship is good, he never said it.He also knew in his heart that he and this sister-in-law were not at odds, and that his sister-in-law didn't like him very much, and he didn't see how she greeted him.And because of his quarrel with his sister-in-law, there have been a few quarrels at home, the most recent one was when he was beaten by his elder brother. A few days ago, his father was even more violent than his sister-in-law.What if the sister-in-law couldn't figure out the situation in this matter today, embarrassed him on the spot, and took revenge on him in front of the husband?
Li Xin is naturally not as boring as him, no matter how hard she is with Guan Zhicheng, she won't have any other thoughts at this time.It's even more impossible for her to know what Guan Zhicheng is worried about now. Seeing him pointing to the left and nodding to the right, frowning and staring for a while, she is in a bad mood.

She didn't bother to take care of Guan Zhicheng, she took care of pigweed and lit a fire in the stove, while Axiu sat in front of the stove and held a sewing basket to do her work.

Li Xin scooped up water and planned to wash his hands and pack up the dishes. It was almost noon, and Mr. Zhang should come.She also deliberately picked out a set of white porcelain bowls that the Guan family usually does not take out for use, and planned to give them to "distinguished guests". While washing them, Guan Zhicheng said dissatisfiedly: "This pig's intestines, pig's heart, pig's lungs, and pig's liver Why are the pots left here? Is this also going to be made into a dish?"

Li Xin paused, then gave a faint "hmm", and Guan Zhicheng's voice suddenly raised, "Isn't this humiliating Mr.! How can such inferior things be imported!"

"Then just do it."

Li Xin didn't bother arguing with him, so he poured the dishwashing water into the slop bucket, the pig grass was mixed well and was about to feed the pigs, when Guan Zhicheng said, "Then what else can be made into something good? Why don't you ask Mr. Go to a restaurant and have a good meal!"

Axiu put down the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a strange way: "Can you still recognize what is pig intestines and what is pig heart, pig lungs, and pig liver? I thought that according to some people's heartlessness, others are even worse." I know it!"
