The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 18
"Our house doesn't have a backyard, and the neighbor's aunt grows the pumpkins. Don't just take other people's things!" Min Xiucai swallowed a mouthful of porridge, and gave a stern lesson to Miss Su, who was constantly behaving.

"Oh." Su Xiazhi nodded and said, "But that pumpkin has climbed onto the wall of our house..."

"You can't ask for it even if you climb on the wall of our house. After all, it belongs to the owner!" The righteous Min Xiucai thought that the pumpkin porridge was delicious, noodle and sweet, and it was still warm in his stomach after eating it. He didn't see Miss Su next to him. Laughed like a fox again.

"You eat all the wall-climbing pumpkins, but I don't have an owner for the wall-climbing pumpkins. Do you want to be a scholar..." Miss Su poked her head over and asked in a good-tempered manner.

The mouth of others is short, and the hand of others is short.

Min Xiucai, who is upright, drank the same pot of pumpkin porridge with Su Xiazhi, who was not following the righteous path, and she caught him short, so they became accomplices.

Miss Su's plot succeeded, she busied herself happily, and cleaned up his house again.

But Min Xiucai felt that he had fallen for a meal, and he was still sulking at himself in the house.

After noon, Su Xiazhi said goodbye, and said goodbye to Min Xiucai who was in the room softly: "Don't send it off, I'll come back tomorrow."

Min Lansheng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke loudly: "Get out!"

Unexpectedly, the gentle scholar would burst out with foul language. Miss Su who was standing at the gate of the courtyard burst into laughter, "I don't have eggs...you have...you can get lost..."

The very angry scholar in the room immediately shut up, his face was burning with shame, and he thought: What kind of woman is this!How to speak so... so...

"Puchi!" The courtyard outside was quiet, and the home was empty without her busy figure.Min Lansheng was still thinking about what she said, and laughed out loud after thinking about it: "You shameless!"

From then on, Su Xiazhi came early and left after noon. It lasted for seven or eight days, and it seemed that the Chinese New Year was coming soon.

Xiucai couldn't say no to her, and after bombarding her twice, it didn't work. In the end, he simply became dumb and ignored Miss Su.

Unexpectedly, he became dumb, and Miss Su immediately became a dumb gourd.

Even when I eat every meal, I put the vegetables and rice on the table, and put the bowls and chopsticks on the table, whether I like it or not!

Min Lansheng has always felt that he is a man of integrity, but Su Xiazhi's cooking skills are really superb. In the past, he occasionally had some meat and vegetables at home, and he could cook them into pig food in one pot, and he lost his appetite just looking at them!But now even if it is cabbage bangzi and miscellaneous grains, she can make thin-skinned vegetarian dumplings with big fillings.

Paired with a bowl of vegetable leaf soup that is neither salty nor light, a meal can be dry or thin and hot, and he is very moist.

In the end, Min Xiucai felt that all his bones had been taken into his stomach, and he was really not firm.

But in the dead of night, he is also very able to explain himself: "Isn't it right to eat my own food at my home."

Thinking about it this way, Min Xiucai's always anxious heart became calm.I don't have to worry about eating every meal.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Xiazhi brought two square pieces of red paper, entered the main room and spread them on the table next to the window, smiled and looked at Min Lansheng, who was sitting next to him pretending to be holding a book, and said, "Your Good writing, please write me two words."

Min Xiucai seems to have never won a battle with her since he started to fight openly and secretly. Now that she sees her asking for something, he is naturally elated, and with a pretty face raised, he is still full of energy: "How do you know my name?"

"I said, why are you so stupid!" Su Xiazhi looked at his childish look, his eyes glowing with a lively expression, and he couldn't help reaching out and pinching his straight nose: "It's just the two of us, I don't care. You can write, so the hatchback comparison should be based on your handwriting!"

"Men and women don't know each other, don't touch your hands!" Min Lansheng shook her head vigorously to the side, and finally managed to get her nose out of her hand. Because of the excessive force, it was painful.

"Okay! I won't do it, you do it, write it." Su Xiazhi has been with him for the past few days and has already touched his temper. He knows that although he tends to be petty, he is easy to coax, with a smile or something It's just the past, and I don't really think about it.He is also an easy-going person by nature.

From birth to familiarity, Su Xiazhi felt that her vision was not bad, and felt more and more that she would be able to spend a long time with scholars in the future.

Taking the writing brush she handed over slowly, Min Lansheng twisted the pen holder with his right hand and dipped the tip of the brush into the inkstone in the inkstone, without raising his eyelids, he asked, "What do you write?"

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, there is a folk custom of posting haha, which is what later generations call posting Spring Festival couplets. Min Lansheng thought that Su Xiazhi had prepared auspicious words, so she waited for her to read them out.

"You just write: Min Lansheng cares about Su Xiazhi!" Miss Su wanted to tease the dumb scholar, and after saying this, she stared and waited for him to blush.

Sure enough, Min Xiucai stopped moving his hand on the inkstone, and then dropped the pen, turned his back to her and said in a muffled voice, "Go away, I don't like listening to these nonsensical words!"

"I'm joking with you, I'm in a hurry again!" Su Xiazhi saw that his ears were turning red, and felt itchy in his heart. Fu character. I want to paste it on the gate of my house. It’s Chinese New Year, so it’s auspicious.”

Min Lansheng still twisted his body and sat sideways, ignoring her, until Su Xiazhi admitted his mistake and promised not to talk nonsense, then he picked up the pen again with a sullen face, and wrote the words on the red paper seriously.

On this day, Su Xiazhi cleaned his house thoroughly again, and even took out the mattress on the bed to dry for a long time before laying it back on the bed... After such a toss, she left much later than usual.

Seeing her hurrying out the door, Min Lansheng wanted to stop her several times and ask if she would come again tomorrow, after all, it was the Chinese New Year and every family would be reunited.

But the words lingered in his mouth several times and finally he didn't say it.

I don't know whether I should ask her if she will come to my house, or tell her not to come to my house again...

This question troubled him again.

The next day, the question that entangled him was answered, and Su Xiazhi himself did not come.
