Flowers are expensive

Chapter 50

"Sister-in-law, what do you think?" Jin Ling'er turned the conversation to Zhen Shi again, "Can you not think about Mo Xiang? A girl's family cares most about her reputation, and if her reputation is ruined, who will marry her in the future?"

Mrs. Zhen really had such worries in her heart, and said to herself: "Speaking of which, it's such a gift... But, now that we're all at home, it's not appropriate to disrespect the grave, mother?" Mrs. Xie chopped up the chicken One side was dissatisfied and said: "What's wrong? Just say that today's day is not good, and go another day! Jin Ling'er is right, but don't you care about the unmarried family members? Not only Moxiang, but also Where is Man Xiang!"

Jin Ling'er smiled triumphantly, and flattered Aunt Xie: "I knew that mother thought so, guessed randomly, and guessed it right for me." Aunt Xie laughed and said, "You are just a thoughtful person, who can compare to you?" I passed you!"

Mo Xiang couldn't take it anymore, threw away the tongs, wrapped the black bamboo tube with dried lotus leaves, and left the kitchen.She looked at Lihua and called Lihua to her hut, took out the black bamboo tube from her clothes and asked, "Fourth Aunt, have you ever eaten burnt bamboo worms?"

"No, what is it?" Lihua is a foodie, and there is nothing she dares to eat.

"Look!" Mo Xiang poured out a dozen steaming bamboo insects from the bamboo tube, "Do you dare to eat them?" Li Hua picked one up casually, chewed it and said, "It's so delicious!" Well, I have to keep the rest for my mother and younger brother. By the way, fourth aunt, I just heard from grandma in the kitchen that I don’t plan to take you to visit the grave. It’s all because of third aunt’s troubles. It's embarrassing, I really don't like her very much. She always talks nonsense in front of grandma, her mouth is really bad, she is no different from Jin Xiu'er!"

"Don't let me visit the grave?" Lihua frowned slightly and asked, "Is this also a family rule?"

"When people come back from the village to offer tea and recognize relatives, they will pay respects at the ancestral graves, so that the ancestors can recognize their faces well, and they will be blessed in the future!"

Lihua snorted in her heart, that Jin Ling'er seemed to be going to have a hard time with her!Last time I thought it was Xie Manting's third sister-in-law and didn't care about it, but this time it will not be so easy!

When Lihua and Moxiang went out after eating bamboo insects, Xie Wu was taking Manting Manxiang to pick fruit in the field behind the house.

Mrs. Guan went to the kitchen and asked Mrs. Xie about respecting the grave.Aunt Xie said: "Mother, it's not that I don't want her to go, it's because I read the almanac, today is suitable for going back home to recognize relatives, but it is not suitable for visiting graves, the dew is heavy, and it is looking at the moon again, I am afraid that something will collide. It’s home, when will it be respectful? Don’t be in a hurry?” She thought to herself, she won’t take it with her in the future, and if she can delay it, it counts as a day!
"Did you see clearly?" Guan asked suspiciously.

"Mother, look at what you said, how long have I been reading the almanac, can I be wrong? Let's find a better day in the future."

Guan Shi didn't speak any more, and seemed to agree silently.Jin Ling'er, who was chopping vegetables, raised her head, gouged out Li Hua's eyes at the door with her vicious eyes, and looked very proud.

When Mo Xiang was in a hurry, Li Hua suddenly let out a sigh.Guan turned her head and asked her: "What's the matter, Lihua? Is there something wrong?" She lowered her eyes, shook her head sadly, and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered a dream I had last night."

"What dream?" Guan asked.

Lihua looked at the pieces of bacon on the stove, her pupils revealed the light of memories: "Last night I had a wonderful dream. I dreamed that I was walking around in a forest. Suddenly a wild dog sprang out. I was so frightened that all my souls and souls disappeared, and I couldn't lie on the tree with my arms around it, and I couldn't run. At this moment, a man in green clothes rushed out from nowhere, holding the tree in his hand. Take a hunting knife tied with a tiger skin, and kill that wild dog with one blow..."

"Is it a knife tied with tiger skin?" Guan suddenly asked a little excitedly. "That's right," Lihua nodded seriously, "The tiger skin wrapped around the handle of the hunting knife looks very mighty and powerful. It's a man among men, a hero among heroes!" As she spoke, she clenched her small fists and put on an expression praising the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.

Guan's cloudy eye sockets suddenly became brighter, and he hurriedly asked, "Will you follow?"

"I wanted to ask his name and thank him for saving his life, but he didn't tell me anything, he just said to me: 'If you want to go back to Xie's house tomorrow, you will naturally come to see me. Then you will Now I know who I am!" Lihua lowered her eyes pretending to be disappointed and said, "It seems that this dream is not true. I didn't see that unrivaled hero, the beautiful god of war when I returned to Xie's house! It's a pity!
"No, you can see him, and you will see him in a while!" With a little excitement in her emotions, Guan turned her head and said to Aunt Xie, "Did you hear that? Your father-in-law entrusted Lihua with a dream, and wanted Lihua to go to him Worshiping in front of the grave!" Aunt Xie looked at Lihua with doubtful eyes and asked, "Did you really dream about the grandpa in the courtyard?"

"Is that the grandfather of Manting? No, what I dreamed of was a young, promising, mighty, imposing weapon, a dog-killing hero who can definitely fight the crowd, not a white-bearded grandfather!"

Pear Blossom pretended to be surprised and said.She laughed secretly in her heart: hum, fight with me?Sister, what I praise is grandma's favorite man in this life!It's strange if grandma is not smug!Sure enough, the first-hand information from Grandma Yun is very useful!

"Hehehe..." Guan smiled happily, "Silly girl, that's when Grandpa Manting was young. He used to go to Tianqinggang with others to fight tigers, and got a piece of tiger skin for me to make A piece of outer armor, and the rest is tied to his hunting knife. His skill is very good, just like the current Manting."

"Really?" Lihua clasped her hands tightly, her eyes showed shock, and she seemed to be crying with excitement, "Did I really dream about Grandpa? He also saved my life with that beautiful hunting knife in the dream Grandma, can I personally go to grandpa's grave to thank him?"

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Xie sensed Li Hua's intentions and gave her a dissatisfied look.But Lihua ignored it, and continued to look at Guan with pitiful eyes, looking extremely helpless and earnest, which made others want to sympathize with her.

Guan laughed again: "Why not? Since Grandpa Man Ting asked you to go in a dream, you should go."

"But, mother, on the calendar..."

"Mom," Lihua interrupted Mrs. Xie with a sincere expression, "I will go to thank Grandpa in person, no matter what I bump into, I won't be afraid!" Same.Guan Shi was amused by her cute appearance again, nodded and said: "Silly girl, how can you be so serious? All right, I will ask your father to take you and Manting to go with you in a while! Put more flowers on his grave for me." Two glasses of wine."

"Understood, grandma! Thank you, grandma—" Lihua stretched the last two words very long, very sweet and greasy, which made Jinling'er frown like a pleated skirt, and fixed her angry eyes on looking at her.

"Your mouth is so sweet!" After complimenting Lihua, Mrs. Guan turned to Aunt Xie and said, "Hurry up and cook a knife head, prepare some fruit, and bring them to your father's grave in a while."

Apart from staring at Lihua with jealous eyes, Aunt Xie could only nod in agreement.She knew that Guan's couple had an unusual relationship, so she didn't dare to talk back to Guan on this matter.But Lihua smiled and said to Aunt Xie: "Mother, thank you for your hard work!"

Mrs. Xie was neither smiling nor angry, and replied in a cold tone: "There is nothing to thank! Help your grandma to the hall to rest. I will call you when I cook." Then Lihua helped Mrs. Guan out of the kitchen .Zhuang couldn't hold back the smothered laughter, and it popped out from the crack in his mouth.

Aunt Xie immediately turned gloomy, and said angrily at her: "What are you laughing at? Didn't you hear what grandma said just now? Didn't you just wait for the meat? Didn't you lie down on the stove and cut a piece? I really don't have any vision. You only know how to eat!" She said angrily and went out.

Zhuang still couldn't hold back, covered his mouth and giggled.Not only her, Moxiang and Zhen Shi also snickered.Jin Ling'er slashed the kitchen knife on the vegetable pier, and said with a sneer, "You really know how to pretend! Did you dream about grandpa? Who would believe it! You clearly want to visit the grave!"

"Fourth Aunt, do you dislike Third Aunt visiting the grave so much?" Mo Xiang asked unconvinced.

"What do you know?" Jin Ling'er shook her head and cast Mo Xiang a cold look, "You only know how to play with your fourth aunt, go ahead and play! You are so close to a sister, who will dare to ask in the future Your dear!"

"Jin Ling'er, you are unhappy, why are you so angry at Moxiang? Moxiang is not Lihua, why no one asked her about her kiss? How can you, an aunt, criticize your niece like this?" Zhen Said dissatisfied.

Jin Ling'er snorted and said, "If it wasn't for the whole family, I wouldn't be too lazy to complain about it! The bigger Moxiang is, the more unruly she is. Who would want such a girl? It's already fifteen, and the marriage has not yet been settled. Running outside and hanging out with that sister Qin Lihua, do you think there are good things to say outside?"

"Fourth Uncle said Fourth Aunt is not a sister..." Mo Xiang was eager to argue.

"You know what a fart! If he said no, he wouldn't. He was fascinated by the ghost and forced to drink the ecstasy soup, so that he didn't even know where he went! Wait a few days before he knows what regret is. !"

The kitchen fell silent in an instant, but Jin Ling'er was immersed in her own anger and didn't notice it at all.She still looked down on her face and scolded: "Usually I thought he had the smartest and clearest mind, but now it seems that he is really bewildered by the vixen. It's so disappointing!"

"Fourth Uncle..." Mo Xiang suddenly called quietly behind her.Jin Ling'er suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, tilted her hand, and the knife slashed across her fingers, she immediately dropped the knife and screamed.Looking back, Man Ting was indeed standing behind her, reaching out his hand to take a kitchen knife from the knife holder nailed to the wall with a stern face, then turned and left the kitchen without saying a word.

Although she didn't say a word, she could feel that Man Ting looked at her sharper every time, as if she wanted to pierce her heart with a sword.In fact, she didn't need to wear her heart, she was already heartbroken, and her heart was as desolate as an innocent little lamb was ruthlessly abandoned in the desert by its master.She turned around in embarrassment, sucked her fingers vigorously, and tried hard to suppress the discomfort in her heart, for fear of showing some clues to Mrs. Zhuang and the others.

But they are all women, and the sixth sense exists regardless of age.Mrs. Zhuang glanced at Jin Ling'er's back with extremely disdainful eyes and said: "Pear Blossom has the backing of the fourth child, we'd better not provoke her. Otherwise, if the fourth child is angered, I might be thrown out of the yard! Whether Qin Lihua is a sister or not, the fourth son is a man doesn't know, so maybe other people can know? Isn't it all made by the couple in the room?"

Mrs. Zhen hurriedly covered Mo Xiang's ears with her hands, and said, "Second brother and sister, what are you talking about? Mo Xiang is still here!" Mrs. Zhuang patted her mouth and smiled, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Now, I'm going to cut bacon on the stove, the fourth child and the others are still waiting to pay respects to the grave. Mo Xiang, bring a higher stool for Second Aunt."

"Hey!" As soon as Mo Xiang walked to the door, Jin Ling'er suddenly turned around and rushed over, bumped into Mo Xiang, and walked away.

Mrs. Zhen supported Mo Xiang, and murmured to Jin Ling'er's back: "Where did the fire come from? Do you think we, Mo Xiang, are easy to bully? If you have the ability, go bully Qin Lihua!"

Mrs. Zhuang sneered as she washed the iron pan with a loofah cloth, "Sister-in-law, don't you see it? I feel as if I have eaten a pigskin arch!"
