Flowers are expensive

Chapter 135 Do you want to thank Manting again?

"It's really nothing..." Before Chang Ming finished speaking, Lihua suddenly got up and smiled politely at them, and went into the room with a trace of sadness in her eyes.He froze for a moment, wondering what happened?You didn't provoke this girl, so why are you unhappy?What a strange girl, she was bright like a flower for a while, and sad like a cloud for a while.

"Hey, hey!" Luo Yan suddenly patted Chang Ming on the shoulder, and asked, shaking his hand in front of his eyes, "Still looking at her sister Lihua without blinking? You should be satisfied with Miss Hong? Are you still greedy?" Is someone new here?"

It turned out that when Lihua got up, Chang Ming's eyes followed her slowly, and he was a little dazed. "Brother Yan, did you eat peppercorns today?"

Chang Ming pushed away Luo Yan's hand and said with a smile, "Why is it numb when you open your mouth? Ms. Hong and I are mixed with shallots and tofu, and we can't be both green and white! It's useless for you to try to get anything out of me. I don't know anything about Jinsang Hall. If you want to listen to some village gossip, I can tell you a few words."

"Okay, I won't tell you anything else, just talk about the death of the old boss. After all, you have been under the care of the old boss for so long, why don't you hand over silk money or something?"

"I'm going, I plan to go tomorrow."

Just as she was talking, Li's mother came over with a teapot and said with a smile: "Speaking of going to the town, we really have to go tomorrow! We will have a relocation banquet the day after tomorrow, so we have to buy some wine and meat."

"It's easy, I'll take a bullock cart and go with you tomorrow." Guan Changming is a very enthusiastic person, with a bright smile in everything he says and does. "That's just right!" Luo Yan patted Erlang's upturned legs and smiled, "Tomorrow, I will take Miss Lihua to have a look. Anyway, you have worked in the hall before, and you are familiar with it."

"Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Chang Ming said perfunctorily, his eyes reached the door of Lihua's room, he took two sips of tea, and called Xianzhong and Ji Han to continue working.

Luo Yan wanted to come for dinner, so he sat and chatted with Mama Li for a while.When it was almost evening, Mother Li asked him to have dinner, and he agreed after a few polite words.At this time, Cuiyue came out of her room, rolled up her sleeves and asked Li's mother with a smile, "Mother, what are you cooking tonight? How many people's rice?"

Luo Yan raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw Cuiyue's two snow-white arms like lotus root, and his Adam's apple moved involuntarily.Cuiyue was originally a charming woman with big eyes, standing among the crowd, she belonged to the kind of person who could be recognized at a glance.When Luo Yan saw her for the first time in the morning, his heart and soul were stirred, thinking that this girl is so beautiful, why is there no man by her side?Not at all reassuring!

"Let me cook the rice, the chicken and vegetables are in the kitchen, you figure it out!" Mama Li turned her head to talk to Cui Yue, not paying attention to Luo Yan's eyes at this time.However, when Cuiyue raised her head to answer the words, she suddenly noticed this unfriendly gaze, she was slightly taken aback, subconsciously responded to Mama Li, turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen.

"Luo Yan, sit down first, I'll get some firewood!" Just as Mama Li was about to get up, Li Hua also came out of her room and said, "Godmother, you've been dancing for a whole day, take a rest! I'll just go grab the firewood."

"Those firewood with long thorns, be careful to scratch your hand."

Lihua said with a smile: "Don't worry, if it dares to scratch me, I will burn it right away! I also pressed two sweet potatoes on it, so that it can't even reincarnate."

As soon as the words fell, the three men working at the pigsty all burst into laughter.Lihua herself laughed, and walked quickly into the firewood house, facing a stuffy dry firewood atmosphere.There was no firewood in Li's mother's house, but it was left by Mr. Wu when he moved there.

She fanned the wind with her hands, and when she was about to bend down to hug the firewood, Chang Ming's voice sounded behind her: "Let me do it, you go pick up sweet potatoes."

"No need..." Lihua didn't expect Chang Ming to come to the firewood room, and was slightly taken aback. "It's not good to scratch the clothes. Isn't the girl most concerned about this?" Before Lihua could reply, Chang Ming had already bent down and picked up two bundles of firewood, smiled at her friendlyly and said, "It's just two bundles of firewood. It's not two big rocks, don't be polite to me." "Thank you, Brother Chang Ming."

"By the way," Chang Ming said after hesitating for a moment, "Do you want to visit Jinsang Hall? I said that just now because I didn't think you were suitable to take over. It's just that the girl is a little tired from doing that job."

"Huh?" Lihua didn't react for a while.

"I see that you seemed a little unhappy just now, and I didn't mean to underestimate you. It's too late for me to admire a capable girl like you!" Chang Ming's small mouth boasted without ambiguity.

"Oh...no need, I really don't want to take over that Jinsangtang, I'd better plant my flowers honestly! And..." Lihua shrugged, smiled easily and said, "I wasn't angry just now, It’s just that I suddenly thought of something, I’m a little sad, I don’t mean to be angry with you. I think what you said is quite right, the girl’s job is quite tiring.”

"That's good! I went out with the firewood, you can pick up sweet potatoes." Chang Ming grinned, and went out with the firewood.

Li Hua lowered her head with her hips on her hips, stared at the firewood and pondered for a while, isn't this man a bit too careful?Just now I lowered my head and frowned, is this also called anger?She suddenly twitched the corner of her mouth, covered her mouth and sneered, thinking that such a man would be a good match for Sister Cuiyue, he is careful, gentle and funny!Granny Liu seems to like Sister Cuiyue very much too, hehe...

When Lihua entered the kitchen with the red sweet potato, Chang Ming was already sitting in front of the stove and lighting up the fire. He stretched out his hand and asked her if she wanted the red sweet potato, and carefully put it in. The fire is burning, remember to turn it over every once in a while, or it won't taste good if it burns."

"Oh, I see." Ewha nodded like an apprentice.

"If you don't know if it's cooked or not, call me to see it later."

"Oh well."

"By the way, don't touch it with your hands when it's just clipped out. It doesn't look like it's smoking, but it's hot inside. Be careful not to burn your hands."

"Row……"

"The tongs are here for you. Don't kick your feet. The bottom is still hot. It can burn holes in your beautiful shoes."

"Understood, thank you." Lihua found that she was talkative enough, this one was more talkative than her, and her heart was more careful.

Chang Ming didn't get up until he finished his explanation and left the kitchen.As soon as he left, Cuiyue turned her head, lowered her voice, and said with a sly smile: "Hua'er, don't burn it! The tongs are hot, and the sweet potato is also hot. I'm afraid someone's heart is even hotter!"

"Sister Cuiyue!" Sitting in front of the stove, Lihua picked up a small wooden stick and threw it over with a smile, "I listened so carefully, are you tempted? Do you remember what he said? I think this man is the same as you." It's quite worthy, why don't you just forget about Guan Ma and tie him into his arms! This brother-in-law is pretty good!"

"What do you mean by simply forgetting? As soon as I left the town, I made up my mind to forget it," Cuiyue shook the water in her hand, walked to the stove and said, "In a few days, you can ask me who Ma Liu is. , I guess I don’t even remember it!”

"Is it true? That's just right. That brother Chang Ming outside is pretty good. Work harder and turn him into my brother-in-law!"

"Small mouth is really bad!" Cuiyue bent down and gently pinched Lihua's small face and said, "Brother Man Ting used to be very happy, your face is very tender when pinched, does he love to pinch you? s face?"

"Woooooo..." Lihua pretended to cry a few times, "If you have a good friend, poke my sore spot, I'm not as bad as you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who has a date?" Cuiyue reached out to touch Lihua's armpit, Lihua was so frightened that she dropped the tongs, and while laughing, she and Cuiyue got into a mess.At this time, Luo Yan walked in, a pair of not-so-honest eyes rolled over the blushing faces of the two girls, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Cuiyue immediately suppressed her smile, and said perfunctorily: "You are a guest, how can I help you? Go out and sit, the oily smoke in the kitchen is choking your nose, and it will be difficult for you to explain to Cousin Xinger!" Luo Yan glanced greedily at Cuiyue twice, then turned around and walked out with a smile.

As soon as he left, Cuiyue stomped her feet and cursed in a low voice: "Skinless and shameless!" Lihua asked curiously, "What's the matter, Sister Cuiyue?" Cuiyue glanced outside the door, He whispered: "Let me tell you, stand back and guard against that person. A pair of eyeballs that can slide from your neck to your heels is not a good thing."

"Really? He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Lihua asked slightly taken aback.

"It's okay, I just can't stand his eyes, as if he wants to eat someone. Tell the godmother that he is not allowed to come to the door again in the future." After all, Cuiyue has experienced more than Lihua, and has been sold. When she went to a brothel, the man's eyeballs glanced at her, and she knew that this man had evil thoughts.

The two sisters were busy with their work while chatting.After a while, Chang Ming came back again and asked, "Is the sweet potato still alive?"

"Sweet sweet potato? Ah! It's over, it's over, I forgot about it, and I designated it to be burned into a mushy rice crust!" Lihua yelled and anxiously picked up the tongs to dig out.Chang Ming was amused by her appearance, took the pokers and said, "Let me come, be careful not to burn you."

Like a child who has done something wrong, Lihua stared intently at the glowing red stove, and asked nervously: "Is it burnt? Is it burnt? Is it really burnt? Is it burnt? Brother Chang Ming , Is it muddled or not? It won’t be burned to ashes, and even the body can’t be found, right?”

Both Chang Ming and Cui Yue giggled.Chang Ming tilted his head slightly, and took the tongs to look for the hole in the stove: "Don't worry, the corpse is still there, but I don't know if I can still eat it. It's okay, I'll just burn it for you if it burns."

"This is the first time I cook red sweet potatoes, it's too frustrating!"

"Fortunately—" Chang Ming said as he pinched a black object from the stove hole.From the body shape, Lihua can vaguely recognize that this is the slightly thinner sweet potato she just took.Just now the skin was red, but now it is completely black.She squatted there, hugged her knees first and laughed, stretched out her fingers to poke the inside to see if it was burnt.

But before touching the sweet potato, Chang Ming pushed his finger away and said, "It's very hot, I don't want my finger anymore? Even if you burn it a little, you won't have to use a finger to pay for it!"

Li Hua laughed out loud, and said half-jokingly: "Brother Chang Ming, you are such a good person, and now I know why Miss Hong has taken a fancy to you!"

It was originally just a joke, because pear blossoms are a bit familiar.After getting along with Chang Ming for a day or two, she felt that this man had a really good temper, so she couldn't help but joked with him.

Unexpectedly, a trace of embarrassment swept across Chang Ming's face, and he hurriedly said: "It's not what you think, it's all nonsense about Brother Yan and the others. Miss Hong is Miss Hong, and has nothing to do with me."

"Oh, that's it..." Li Hua stopped looking at her black charcoal red sweet potato, and didn't pay attention to Chang Ming's expression.

"Miss Hong was originally engaged..." Chang Ming said while using tongs to pinch out another sweet potato.

"It's a marriage, it's not a marriage." Lihua picked up a bamboo slice and poked the red sweet potato with a smile. "If you really like it, you can snatch it! Men and women are not married, and there are What's wrong? If it doesn't work, just elope!"
