There are beautiful girls in the hunter's house
Chapter 46 Lin Xiu: This man is really bad!
Chapter 46 Lin Xiu: This man is really bad! (The [-]-character fat seal is requested for the first order)
Seeing Xiong Qingshan groping for the ax and chopping firewood there, Lin Xiu felt a little complicated for a while.
Although he actually added a pair of wild geese to the betrothal gift, Lin Xiu was surprised that he was willing to put so much effort into this marriage, but if she was moved by it, I'm sorry, she was not so easily moved.
She was even thinking that she and Xiong Qingshan had only met once when they fell into the water. Besides, it was also the day when she came to propose marriage. She returned the washed and re-sewn clothes to him. Dowry, and go hunting wild geese?
She boasted that apart from this face, she has no other advantages, but Xiong Qingshan doesn't look like the kind of person who is attracted to sex.
Then why did he offer such a heavy dowry?
Lin Xiu couldn't figure it out, and today Xiong Qingshan sent two more fish. Although Lin Xiu didn't show it at the time, she was very vigilant in her heart.
Now even watching him chopping firewood on his own initiative, her puzzlement almost overflowed.
She thought about it, but still didn't ask, she just turned back and continued cooking.
After her figure disappeared at the door, Xiong Qingshan in the yard suddenly raised his head, looking sharply into the kitchen.
How could he not feel Lin Xiu's gaze? He just didn't look at it because he was afraid of scaring Lin Xiu. He didn't look until Lin Xiu turned around, but he was also puzzled. Why did she suddenly come out to look?
……
The sun was getting worse, and after persisting in the field for a while, Lin Hongyuan came home.
The place where Xiong Qingshan chopped firewood was in the corner, and he couldn't see the direction from Lin Hongyuan's back. After he walked for a while, he suddenly found that there was an extra man in the house!
He was startled, and then looked intently, seeing that it was Xiong Qingshan, he was slightly relieved, but he was also very puzzled in his heart.
He heard footsteps from afar, until the sound got closer and the person's breathing became abnormal, Xiong Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was Lin Hongyuan coming back, he put down his ax and walked over to greet Lin Hongyuan: "Lin Hongyuan Uncle is back?"
Looking at Lin Xiu's age, he guessed that if his father was still alive, Lin Hongyuan would be younger than his father, so he called Uncle.
Lin Hongyuan nodded in response, "I'm back, I'm back, why are you here today?"
"I caught some fish in the morning, and I will send some over."
Lin Hongyuan nodded, and put the hoe against the wall after entering the yard, but he didn't ask why Xiong Qingshan didn't return after sending the fish. Axiu must have left him to eat before returning.
It is said that Xiong Qingshan is the only one in his family, such a man does not look like he can cook well, so it is just for him to try Axiu's craftsmanship.Isn't the common saying that if you want to grab a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach. After he has tasted Axiu's craftsmanship, he will value Axiu even more.
Lin Hongyuan thought in his heart, seeing that Xiong Qingshan was about to chop firewood again, he hurriedly stopped him and asked Xiong Qingshan to sit down and chop some more when he had nothing to do.
Xiong Qingshan said: "I'm here, I'm strong, and it doesn't take much effort to chop wood. Uncle Lin, you've been tired from working in the field all morning, you'd better take a rest first."
Lin Hongyuan was pinned on the stool. He looked at Xiong Qingshan who turned to chop firewood again, and his heart was touched beyond words.
There are so many married young ladies in the village, how many sons-in-law will come to Weng's house to help chop firewood?At most, it's just helping out during the busy farming season.
Look at Xiong Qingshan again!
Xiong Qingshan and his family just got hired, Xiong Qingshan can help him chop firewood if he comes to send a fish.Although Xiong Qingshan hasn't helped with farm work yet, Lin Hongyuan believes that Xiong Qingshan will come to help when the time comes.
Right now, Lin Hongyuan has changed from being picky and disgusting towards Xiong Qingshan to being pleasing to the eye no matter what. Lin Hongyuan has become the first prisoner in his family.
……
Hearing the voices coming from the courtyard, Lin Xiu was not in a hurry to go out, she put out the last cooked dishes, and while adding water to the pot to wash the pot, she shouted: "The meal is ready, Dad, wash your hands , you can eat!"
In the courtyard, Lin Hongyuan responded and called Xiong Qingshan: "Qingshan, don't chop it up, go and wash your hands."
Xiong Qingshan obediently put down the axe, and after Lin Hongyuan finished washing his hands, he put his hand into the cold water, rubbed it a few times indiscriminately, and then took it out. The kitchen helps with meals.
Today's meal, Lin Xiu did a good job.
There were only her and Lin Hongyuan in their family at noon. Lin Hongyuan's appetite is not big, but today there is an extra Xiong Qingshan. Although I don't know how much Xiong Qingshan can eat, but just looking at his stature, you can tell that he must be too little. It was too much to eat, so Lin Xiu filled more corn and steamed half a pot of rice.
Although they are dry land here, they can grow some corn.Apart from wheat, the Lin family planted the most corn. Because both Lin Xiu and Guo's mother and daughter love to eat rice, Lin Hongyuan grows corn every year.
The rice in the rice bowl was brought to the table first, Lin Hongyuan and Xiong Qingshan helped to take out the dishes and bowls and chopsticks, and the three of them sat down at the wooden table.
Lin Xiu first filled a bowl full of rice for Xiong Qingshan, and then went to fill it for Lin Hongyuan.
Lin Hongyuan took the rice bowl, put vegetables into Xiong Qingshan's bowl, and warmly greeted him: "Come, come, try this fish."
The fish was made from the two fish he brought, and the two fish were not too small, but Lin Xiu was afraid that there would not be enough for Xiong Qingshan to eat, so he cooked them anyway.
She sliced the fish into thin slices and then stir-fried it with a lot of peppers. It has a strong aroma. As soon as the aroma wafted out of the kitchen, it made Xiong Qingshan salivate. He was finally able to eat now. He thanked Lin Hongyuan , then picked up the fish and stuffed it directly into the mouth.
As soon as the fish was in the mouth, the taste buds on the tip of the tongue were enveloped by the aroma of chili, spices and the umami of the fish itself. It was so fragrant that Xiong Qingshan couldn't even speak, just nodded indiscriminately, and took a big mouthful of rice.
Seeing this, Lin Hongyuan let out a friendly laugh.
Swallowing the meal, Xiong Qingshan hurriedly made excuses for his ignorant behavior just now: "I have never eaten such a delicious fish. I myself am not able to eat fish. I don't have much meat, and I have thorns all over my body. It’s not enough to sit on.”
Lin Hongyuan smiled and said: "I didn't like to eat fish before, but Ah Xiu is very skilled and can make this fish very delicious. In this way, I don't care about trouble."
"That's right, who can care about other things in the face of delicious food?" Xiong Qingshan nodded.
"Come on, try this again."
Lin Hongyuan brought Xiong Qingshan another vegetable dish with chopsticks.
This vegetarian dish was picked from the courtyard. All the vegetables in the courtyard are juicy and delicious, let alone cooked by Lin Xiu's skillful hands.
But even so, what Xiong Qingshan loves the most is the pot of stir-fried fish fillets.
Both Lin Xiu and Lin Hongyuan's father and daughter only ate one bowl of rice, and Xiong Qingshan ate up the rest of the rice with fish fillets.Because she cooked a lot of rice and couldn't fit it in one pot, Lin Xiu only filled a small pot, so she watched Xiong Qingshan running to the kitchen again and again.
Until the end, Xiong Qingshan finally put down the bowl and chopsticks and burped.
Lin Xiu couldn't help thinking, is there any leftovers in the pot?She originally thought that if she couldn't finish eating, she could keep it until Lin Wenhan came back.
Because of Guo's death, their family hadn't eaten meat in the past few years, and Lin Wenhan hadn't eaten fish for a long time. Now Xiong Qingshan sent two fish. The rest is for Lin Wenhan to eat with rice.
It's just that she underestimated Xiong Qingshan's appetite, and she didn't expect that Xiong Qingshan could eat so much. At this moment, Lin Xiu secretly rejoiced that she had left a small bowl for Lin Wenhan earlier, otherwise, he might be Not even a smell.
In fact, Xiong Qingshan didn't know that Lin Xiu left some fish fillets alone?
He went to the kitchen to serve meals several times. Although there was still a strong aroma in the kitchen, the aroma of the dishes was not the same as the aroma left in the air.
Even if he knows, what can Xiong Qingshan do?After thinking about it, she knew that she left it to her younger brother. He is a big man, and he can only care about his own appetite, and he can't even tolerate it for his brother-in-law?
Thinking of the bowl of fish fillets in the kitchen, Xiong Qingshan felt his mouth water again. He swallowed, thinking, he really didn't want to leave such delicious fish fillets to Lin Wenhan.
But fortunately he was still sensible, so he ate up the meal with a lot of vegetarian dishes left on the table.
But he thought in his heart that when he married Lin Xiu, he would definitely catch more fish and let Lin Xiu make fish fillets for him.
……
Seeing that he finally put down the bowls and chopsticks, Lin Xiu got up to clear the table. Seeing this, Xiong Qingshan also got up to help, Lin Xiu glanced at him, but was not polite to him.
"Where do you wash?"
"It's in the yard." Lin Xiu said, went to the kitchen to get a wooden basin for washing dishes, walked to the well, and asked Xiong Qingshan to put the bowls and chopsticks in.
Putting the bowls and chopsticks away, Xiong Qingshan helped fetch water again, then stood aside and watched.
Uncomfortable being stared at by him, Lin Xiu said: "Father, I said I want to make clothes for him, please help me measure the size first."
Xiong Qingshan: "???"
Lin Hongyuan responded, and also stood up, "Axiu, what amount do you use?"
"Father, that rope is yours. Make a mark on the rope, and I'll look at it later."
"Okay." Lin Hongyuan said, and found a rope from the courtyard, "Come to Qingshan, I'll help you measure it."
Only then did Xiong Qingshan come back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "No, no, just wait for Lin Xiu to finish his work before measuring it for me."
"Hey, why are you being polite? I'll measure it for you first, and let Axiu see how much it is after a while. The clothes you make must not be too small."
Xiong Qingshan frowned, and simply raised his hand to take the rope, "I'll measure it myself."
Seeing that he insisted on this, Lin Hongyuan no longer insisted, and gave the rope to Xiong Qingshan.
Xiong Qingshan sighed in his heart, and resigned himself to measuring himself.
It was clearly supposed to be measured by Lin Xiu, so how could it be reduced to his own measurement?
……
Lin Xiu put the cleaned bowls and chopsticks back into the kitchen. Seeing that Xiong Qingshan had finished measuring, she took the rope and compared it with the ruler according to the length Xiong Qingshan said. Xiong Qingshan was watching, still a little unwilling, He said again: "What if I make a mistake? Why don't you help me measure it again."
Lin Xiu didn't speak, just looked at him sideways, Xiong Qingshan looked at her without guilt, in the end, Lin Xiu was defeated.But she still didn't want to do it by herself, so she said to Lin Hongyuan: "Father, you measure it, and I will record it by the side."
Lin Hongyuan responded, took the rope and first circled Xiong Qingshan's shoulders. Xiong Qingshan looked at Lin Hongyuan in front of him, sighed dejectedly, and acquiesced to this fact.
According to the several places Lin Xiu said, every time Lin Hongyuan finished measuring a place, he showed the rope to Lin Xiu. Lin Xiu used a ruler to draw it, and then first wrote down the number and asked Lin Hongyuan to measure the next place.
The ruler she used was a few years ago, and Guo asked someone to make it for her. It was a wooden ruler.She has used it for a long time, and the edges and corners of the ruler have been worn smooth, but now she really feels the inconvenience of this wooden ruler - if this ruler is as soft as a rope, it will not be so troublesome.
Soon, she measured all the measured places, Lin Xiu put away the ruler, and prepared to start making clothes at night.
It's just a dress for this person, and you don't need to embroider any flowers. It's very simple, and you won't be afraid of hurting your eyes under the lamp. On the contrary, it's her embroidering the wedding dress, which hurts your eyes at night, so it's better to do it in the white room as much as possible.
……
The impression of Xiong Qingshan was completely changed, which made Lin Hongyuan very excited. He didn't even care about taking a nap, and just sat in the yard, chatting briefly with Xiong Qingshan's parents.
He didn't have a clue when he said it, he just said it wherever he thought of it, Xiong Qingshan didn't feel annoyed when he heard it, no matter what Lin Hongyuan said, he could answer a sentence or two, so Lin Hongyuan had a better impression of him up.
When Xiong Qingshan wanted to go back in the middle of the afternoon, he was still very reluctant. He wanted to keep Xiong Qingshan at home for dinner before going back, but thinking that it would be dark by then, he was afraid that Xiong Qingshan would not be safe alone, so he had no choice but to take it back. What he said was changed to let Xiong Qingshan come and walk often when he has time.
Xiong Qingshan naturally agreed, because of Lin Xiu's culinary skills, he will often find an excuse to come to Lin's house for a meal in the future.
Just thinking about the meal he ate at noon, he silently thought: next time he comes, he must bring rice, so don't make the Lin family poor.
Seeing that Xiong Qingshan was gone, Lin Xiu poked his head out from the room, "Daddy, has he gone back?"
She would have slept for a while in the afternoon, but Xiong Qingshan was here today, even though Lin Hongyuan didn't sleep, she still didn't take a nap, and just buried herself in embroidery in the room.
Lin Hongyuan nodded and said, "Let's go, I took the bowl of fish fillets you kept away for him."
Xiong Qingshan wanted to leave, Lin Hongyuan originally wanted to keep him for another meal, but later he dismissed the idea, but thinking that Xiong Qingshan was alone and his workmanship was not good, Lin Hongyuan wanted to bring him some food back.After searching, he found the bowl of fish fillets that Lin Xiu had specially set aside.
Lin Xiu: "!!!"
She widened her eyes in astonishment, she didn't expect that she managed to save some for Lin Wenhan, but in the end she still couldn't keep it, and Lin Wenhan didn't have such good luck in the end.
Over there, Lin Hongyuan was still rambling: "You too, it's just a bowl of fish fillets, and it's not a good thing, why did you keep it on purpose? This fish was caught by Qingshan, if he didn't bring it to us, We can't eat either."
"...that's what I left for brother." Lin Xiu said quietly.
Lin Hongyuan: "..."
"I actually forgot about Wenhan..." He smiled awkwardly, and then said: "If it's gone this time, it's gone. If you eat less, Wenhan can't do anything. Wait until you buy fish in two days, and you can buy fish again." Do it once and save it for Wenhan."
After he said that, what else could Lin Xiu say? She smiled slightly and asked Lin Hongyuan if he wanted to sleep for a while.
Lin Hongyuan waved his hand, "No, no, it's getting late, I'm going to the fields. You can sleep a little longer."
Knowing that Lin Xiu probably didn't sleep much, Lin Hongyuan instructed.
Lin Xiu shook her head, "I won't sleep either."
Lin Hongyuan didn't say anything, picked up the hoe and went out. Lin Xiu packed up the sewing dowry and sat in the yard again.
It's hot inside, but it's cooler outside.
……
Over there, Xiong Qingshan walked out of Shanqian Village, but he was still full of joy.
He lowered his head to look at the bowl of fish fillet in his hand, but he didn't press down the corner of his raised mouth.
He really didn't expect that this bowl of fish fillets couldn't escape his palm. Thinking of the taste of this bowl of fish fillets, Xiong Qingshan wished that it would be soon at night so that he could cook some rice and eat it with it.
As for whether he would eat this bowl of fish fillets originally reserved for Lin Wenhan and feel guilty...Xiong Qingshan never thought about Lin Wenhan at all.
It's just that as she was walking with the bowl in her hand, her footsteps stopped suddenly, and he forgot to ask Lin Xiu, how does it look like he can hunt wild geese!
Annoyance appeared on his face, but then he explained to himself: It doesn't matter if you forgot, he still has this bowl of fish fillets, this trip is not a return empty-handed, this is also a blessing and a curse!As for that question, when will it be impossible to ask, but if he missed this bowl of fish fillets, he would regret it for a long time.
After enlightening himself, Xiong Qingshan strode towards Xujiaao with the bowl in his hand.
Xiong Qingshan was fast, when he got home, he happened to meet Jinhua, Sun Daniu, and Feng's family who were going to the fields.
The Sun family was about to go out to the fields, but saw Xiong Qingshan standing at the door of the house, Jin Hua couldn't help asking: "Qingshan, I didn't see you at noon, where did you go?"
With things in mind, Xiong Qingshan woke up when the sky was only a little bright.He hastily ate breakfast, and it was early when he went out. At that time, the Sun family who had gone to the fields hadn't returned yet. When he came back, he saw that the gate of Xiong's house was locked, but Xiong Qingshan was gone.
"I went to Lin's house." Xiong Qingshan replied truthfully.
"Going to Lin's house?"
Jin Hua didn't care about going to the field anymore, she sent her son and daughter-in-law to go first, and then asked again: "Can you see Xiu'er?"
Xiong Qingshan nodded, and took out the key to unlock it, but he was holding the bowl in one hand and only one hand was left, so it was very inconvenient to open the lock. Seeing this, Jin Hua hurriedly took the key and opened the door for Xiong Qingshan.
It was also at this moment that Jin Hua noticed that he was still holding a bowl in his hand, and she couldn't help asking curiously: "You can go to the Lin family, why did you take a bowl? Is this from the Lin family?"
Seeing Xiong Qingshan nodding, she said again: "You too, don't tell me you don't have any bowls at home, and why did you take the Lin family's?"
……
While the two were talking, they had already entered the courtyard, Xiong Qingshan put the bowl on the table in the courtyard, and said while fetching water: "I caught a few fish today and sent them to the Lin family, and I will eat them at the Lin family at noon This is what Uncle Lin brought to me when I came back."
"Wow!"
He washed his face, splashed the water in the basin on the corner of the wall, and casually wiped his face with his sleeve.
Hearing his words, Jin Hua was surprised and said: "Not bad, they were all left for dinner."
Xiong Qingshan just smiled, he didn't have the nerve to say that it was because of his thick skin, in his opinion, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter if he is thick-skinned or not?
After asking Xiong Qingshan a few more questions carefully, Jin Hua went to the field. Xiong Qingshan originally wanted to go to the field, but he was afraid that the wild cats in the village would come and eat them, so he had to stay at home instead of going to the field.
It's just that he was staying at home, but he was not idle. He remembered the day he rescued Lin Xiu, and seemed to have picked up a bag that Lin Xiu had forgotten, so he found it.
The burden must have fallen into the water along with Lin Xiu. When he picked it up, it was wet. After returning home, he threw the burden in the courtyard.In summer, the sun was very hot, and the wet burden was quickly dried, but he forgot about it, and when it was dark, he remembered, picked up the burden and threw it into the house in the corner.
Now looking at the dusty bag that was dug out, he suddenly became a little curious, what was in this bag?
It was nothing more than some clothes, Xiong Qingshan stared at the bundle for a while, then put it away again.
Forget it, what is in this package, when Lin Xiu marries in, won't he know?It is not the work of a real man to turn over people's things for no reason!
……
In the evening, Xiong Qingshan couldn't wait to wash the rice and cook a pot of rice according to Jinhua's teaching. When the rice was cooked, he poured some fish fillets into the bowl, mixed it with chopsticks, and ate it in big mouthfuls stand up.
He eats well, but he feels sorry for the Lin family. Hearing that he unfortunately missed a bowl of stir-fried fish fillets, Lin Wenhan looked depressed. He looked at Lin Hongyuan sadly, and said, "Father, could it be in your heart that he Is it your own son? There is something delicious, just think about him."
Lin Hongyuan was still a little guilty, but when he heard Lin Wenhan's words, he gave Lin Wenhan a slap, "What nonsense is this? If you want to eat, I'll buy you a fish tomorrow. It's just Can a bowl of fish fillets still make you hungry?"
Lin Wenhan hurriedly said flatteringly, "My father still loves me."
Lin Hongyuan snorted and said, "Hurry up and eat!"
Lin Wenhan chuckled twice, picked up the bowl and concentrated on eating.
After dinner, Lin Xiu packed up the dishes and went back to her room, where she cut the fabric under the lamp.
This piece of fabric was one of the betrothal gifts sent yesterday, some of which were dark in color and could be worn by both men and women, so she took a piece of ochre, and planned to make a coat for Xiong Qingshan.
The men's clothes are much simpler. She first draws a few lines with charcoal, and then cuts the cloth according to the drawn lines. Finally, she recognizes the needles and sews the cloth together under the lamp.
She was quick, and in a short time, she sewed the fabrics together, and she cut a few shorter strips of fabric, and fixed them to the sides to make belts, and the clothes were completed.
She spread the clothes on the bed, looked carefully, and mended some things that were missed just now, then folded the clothes and put them on the bedside cabinet. When Xiong Qingshan came, she would give the clothes to the bed he.
After the clothes were finished, Lin Xiu yawned.Now it was the time for her to rest in the past, and she didn't take a nap during the day, so she was very sleepy at the moment, so she took off her shoes, changed into her pajamas, and lay down to sleep after blowing out the candles.
The moon outside the window is bright, and a piece of silver frost is sprinkled on the ground. The land is quiet, except for the sound of cicadas and frogs, which makes the boundless night a bit more wild.
……
On the second day, Lin Hongyuan really wasn't in a hurry to go to the field. He went to the market first, bought a few fish from the fish seller, sent a few to Guo's house and Lin Hongzhi's house, and took the rest back. Home.
Seeing these fish, Lin Xiu consciously killed them. After washing them, they put them in the kitchen to marinate. When the time was up, they went into the kitchen to cook.
They absolutely couldn't eat three fish, and the fish couldn't help but let it go, even if it was put in the water, it would not take long to die, so Lin Xiu knew that Lin Hongyuan bought so much, probably Xiong Qingshan's one serving.
She had no objection to this, two pieces of money were put in the bride price, enough to buy a lot of fish.
Thinking that she just made stir-fried fish fillets yesterday, Lin Xiu didn't do it again today, but braised the fish in brown sauce.The small kitchen was filled with a strong aroma. After the fish was cooked, Lin Xiu served one portion separately, while the ones they ate at home served separately.
In addition to fish, Lin Xiu picked beans from the yard and fried them, and also served Xiong Qingshan a serving, thinking that he didn't eat much vegetarian dishes at the beginning yesterday, so she didn't serve too much, only the meat was tired Some relief.
After Lin Hongyuan came back, she asked, "Father, does this fish belong to Xiong Qingshan?"
Lin Hongyuan washed his face, and replied: "He has a share. He can't cook well by himself, and it's quite pitiful. I thought that if nothing happened, we would send some to him from time to time."
"Then, who will send it?"
"..."
Lin Hongyuan stopped washing his face, "I didn't think it was thoughtful, the meal is ready? Well, I'll send it to you, you eat first."
Lin Xiu pursed her lips and said, "Let's eat first, and I'll deliver it later."
Lin Hongyuan loved her and refused to let her go to the fields, but she could no longer look at Lin Hongyuan who had worked hard all morning, and run to Xujiaao under the sun.
Anyone can do this, so why let Lin Hongyuan go?
"I'll send it after we finish eating, isn't he also finished eating?"
"After lunch and dinner, the food has not been touched, so it can always be put away." Lin Xiu said, and brought out the food. Seeing this, Lin Hongyuan didn't say much, and helped take out the bowls and chopsticks. The two girls ate.
After lunch, Lin Xiu wanted to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Lin Hongyuan, "I'm here, you go and deliver food to Qingshan."
Lin Xiu felt a little unfair in her heart, but she didn't say anything, and only let Lin Hongyuan go to rest early after finishing her work. She went back to her room and took the clothes newly made for Xiong Qingshan, and then wrapped the food in a basket and hung it on her shoulders. Arm out the door.
……
Lin Xiu hadn't been to that Xujia'ao yet, but she only knew which direction Xujia'ao was in Shanqian Village. When she left the house, she went in the direction of Xujia'ao.
But when she arrived at Xujia'ao, she didn't know where to go, and there was no one on the side of the road at this moment, so she had to knock on the door of a house to ask for directions.
The person who opened the door was the one from the Dahe family who had previously said something about Lin Xiu and Xiong Qingshan. Her natal family is from Shanqian Village. Now she recognized Lin Xiu who knocked on the door. She couldn't help but asked with a smile: " Isn't this Xiu'er, why did you come to Xujia'ao?"
Lin Xiu also recognized her, and said with a smile: "Sister Chunhua, my father bought some fish and asked me to deliver some to Xiong Qingshan, but I didn't know where his home was, so I wanted to ask, but I didn't expect it to happen It's Sister Chunhua, your home."
The name of Dahe's family is Lin Chunhua, who is of the same generation as Lin Xiunai.
"You are looking for Qingshan. His house is very easy to find. You go straight along this road, and after five intersections, there is a hole in the door on the west side of the road. Shall I take you there?"
Lin Xiu hurriedly refused: "No need, sister Chunhua is just busy."
After bidding farewell to Lin Chunhua, Lin Xiu followed what she said and walked forward.
As Lin Chunhua said, along this avenue, Lin Xiu passed five forks and walked a few steps forward. She really saw a broken wooden door on one of the closed wooden doors of a family on the west side of the road. Hole.
Lin Xiu, who met the Xiong family for the first time: "..."
Seeing that there were actually two pieces of money in the dowry, she thought that the Xiong family was better off than her own, but now looking at the door with a hole in it, Lin Xiu felt that perhaps the Xiong family was indeed richer than the Lin family. But it's enough that he's not rich, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use this to break the door.
Thinking of the two copper coins at home again, Lin Xiu couldn't help thinking, Xiong Qingshan would never put all the money in the family into the betrothal gift, would he?
Thinking wildly, she stood in front of Xiong's house and knocked on the door.
……
Xiong's house, Xiong Qingshan is lying on the bed and falling asleep.
He didn't go to Lin's house today, he got up early and went to the fields to do farm work for a while, and came home when the sun was poisonous.He was alone, and he didn't have any cooking skills, so he made some random food to fill his stomach, and then went back to his room to sleep. He got up early, and now he was sleepy, and he closed his eyelids as soon as he lay down.
Until there was a knock on the door outside, the person who was lying soundly asleep suddenly sat up, turned over and got out of bed, and walked outside in large strides amidst the voices outside.
Lin Xiu knocked on the door a few times, then stopped first, but she didn't wait for Xiong Qingshan to come to open the door, but she waited for Jin Hua.
Seeing Jin Hua coming out from the courtyard next to her, Lin Xiu was slightly surprised and called out "Aunt Jin".
Jin Hua was also a little surprised, "It's so late at noon, why are you here?"
"My father went to the market in the morning to buy some fish, and I made some at noon to give away."
While the two were talking, the broken door of Xiong's house was suddenly opened, revealing Xiong Qingshan who was shirtless.
Hearing the sound of the door, Lin Xiu and Jin Hua subconsciously turned their heads to look, but unexpectedly, they bumped into a bronze wall of flesh, Lin Xiu's cheeks instantly turned red, and she turned her head again. , her cheeks burned no less than the sun at this moment.
Jin Hua hurriedly said: "You man, you don't even put on your clothes when you come out! Hurry up, hurry up, put on some clothes before you come out."
Although Lin Xiu turned her head away, she couldn't cover her ears. Her cheeks were flushed, and the red went all the way down her ears and burned down to her neck.Xiong Qingshan stared at Lin Xiu and gave a "hmm", but turned around after all, he didn't go back to his room, he just took a piece of clothes from the clothes drying pole in the yard, put them on casually and walked over.
……
"Tie up your clothes." Jin Hua said again.
Although he put on clothes, his chest was still exposed. Lin Xiu, an unmarried lady, how could she have such a thick skin?
Xiong Qingshan did not listen to Jin Hua this time, he said: "What is it, I am very hot."
"You, you, you..." Jin Hua slapped him on the shoulder several times in anger from the lump of elm.
Xiong Qingshan let her shoot, but it didn't hurt anyway, he stared at Lin Xiu, and asked, "Why are you here now?"
Lin Xiu stared at the weeds on the ground, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I'll bring you some food."
In fact, Xiong Qingshan smelled it early, it was fish, accompanied by a strong aroma of sauce, although I don't know how it was made, but it was certainly not the same way as yesterday.Although he knew about it long ago, he still asked maliciously: "What kind of food will I send, I will do it myself, and you still ran against the sun all the time."
Lin Xiu thought, I don't want to come and give it away, but said: "My father bought a lot of fish, we will spoil it if we can't finish it."
That's why I want to send it to you, but don't think that we are thinking about you!
Xiong Qingshan chuckled, he didn't block the door after all, he stepped aside, "Let's rest in the courtyard first." He said, looking at Jin Hua again.
He also watched him grow up, how could Jin Hua fail to see through his thoughts at the moment, she waved her hand and said: "I still have something to do at home, so I won't go in." Afraid that Xiong Qingshan would forget his appearance, she also warned : "Don't close the door, so as not to be guessed."
The red color on Lin Xiu's face became heavier.
What does Jinhua mean, why can't she understand?It was precisely because of this that it made her feel uncomfortable.
……
Completely different from Lin Xiu, who was shy and embarrassed, Xiong Qingshan was like a normal person. He responded and watched Jin Hua's figure disappear behind the gate of Sun's house. Then he looked at Lin Xiu again, implicitly urging: "Not yet. Come in?"
Lin Xiu didn't look at him, and directly took the basket off her arm, no matter which direction Xiong Qingshan was in, she handed it forward indiscriminately, "It's all in the basket, and the clothes I made last night, you can put them on later Try to see if it fits."
After she finished speaking, she hoped that Xiong Qingshan would take the basket over quickly, but Xiong Qingshan didn't do what she wanted. He leaned against the door frame and said, "I'm going back now? I've walked this hard in the sun , and don’t come in for a drink of water? If Uncle Lin finds out, he will definitely scold me.”
Hearing Lin Hongyuan mentioned by him, Lin Xiu felt a little hesitant, but before she could make a decision, Xiong Qingshan suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist and led her to the courtyard, "At least sit down and rest before going back. "
As soon as he pulled it, the basket swayed, fearing that the vegetables in the basket would spill out and stain the clothes, Lin Xiu hurriedly used the other hand to protect the basket, and by the time she realized it, she had already entered the courtyard.
Lin Xiu stared at him angrily, "How could you do this!"
"What's wrong with me? I just invited you in to have a rest." Xiong Qingshan put his arms around his chest, raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xiu who finally dared to look at him.
Meeting his eyes, Lin Xiu was stuck as if she had been strangled by the neck. She lowered her head again and sat down on the stool next to her.
Xiong Qingshan gave a "tsk" in disappointment, and finally took the basket over, "I'll pour you some water."
As he spoke, his steps towards the kitchen stopped.
He only cared about "deceiving" Lin Xiu in, but forgot that there was no hot water in his house!He usually drank well water and never boiled hot water. Now that Lin Xiu was here, he was looking for hot water, and he didn't know where to find it.
He only had a moment, and then he calmed down again. He put down the basket first, and said nonchalantly, "I'll go to Mrs. Jin's house first", then turned and went to Sun's house to borrow hot water.
Hearing that he wanted to borrow some hot water for Lin Xiu, Jin Hua said angrily, "Do you know how to boil hot water now?"
Xiong Qingshan nodded, "I will remember it later."
Jin Hua didn't make things difficult for him, she directly brought him a pot of not-so-hot water, and sent him away.
……
When Xiong Qingshan went back, Lin Xiu was still sitting there, but raised his head slightly, quietly looking around the yard.
As soon as she heard the sound of footsteps, she hurriedly looked away, and lowered her head again. Xiong Qingshan looked amused, but he didn't expose her. He just put the kettle on the table in front of her, picked up a bowl on the table and knocked on it. A bowl of water was poured into the bowl with a small gap.
Only then did Lin Xiu notice that he brought the kettle from outside!Thinking about what he said just now... He actually got the water from the Sun family? !
She couldn't help but be a bit surprised in her tone: "Did you take this water from Aunt Jin's house?"
Xiong Qingshan: "..."
The person who was always fearless, felt cramped for the first time, he pressed his fist to his lips and gave a dry cough, and said: "I'm not used to drinking hot water, so I haven't burned it, so I went to Mrs. Jin's house to borrow some water. "
Lin Xiu: "..."
She really didn't expect that this matter was related to herself, she said: "I said it earlier, but you insisted on pulling me in."
She insisted on keeping someone to drink tea, but in the end there was no hot water at home, this was the first time she had seen it.
"...I started boiling water today." Xiong Qingshan explained.
Although he still doesn't like drinking hot water, who knows if Lin Xiu will come over suddenly?A kettle of hot water was prepared to save Lin Xiu from coming again, but he couldn't even find a sip of hot water.
Lin Xiu snorted, "You can burn it whenever you like."
Xiong Qingshan didn't answer her words, he went to the kitchen and took out the rice to have a look, seeing that there was a thick layer of braised fish on the corn rice, he smiled with his lips curled up, and carefully put the rice bowl on the stove At the table, go out with the basket.
……
Seeing Xiong Qingshan go to the kitchen, Lin Xiu picked up the bowl and drank water.
She was really thirsty at this moment, but she was embarrassed in front of Xiong Qingshan, after all, she had disliked Xiong Qingshan just now and insisted on keeping her to drink, if she drank water in front of him now, wouldn't it be Didn't you slap yourself in the face?
She had just taken a few sips when she heard footsteps behind her.There are only the two of them in the Xiong family at the moment, so it goes without saying whose footsteps are coming from.Lin Xiu hurriedly put down the bowl, and quietly wiped the water stains on her lips with the corner of her sleeve, pretending that she hadn't drunk water just now.
Xiong Qingshan glanced at her, pretended not to notice her small movements, and walked up to Lin Xiu with the basket in his hand, put the basket on the table, picked up the clothes laid flat on the bottom of the basket, and asked: "What is this?" Did you make new clothes for me?"
Lin Xiu put her eyes on the ochre-colored clothes and nodded slightly.
"Then I'll try it on first."
As Xiong Qingshan said, he actually took off the outer shirt he had just put on!
"!!!"
After hiding for a long time, Lin Xiu, who still couldn't escape, was caught off guard and widened her beautiful eyes.
Ask for the first order! ! !Kowtow begging, kneeling begging, rolling and begging~ Don’t miss it when you pass by, come and have a look!
(End of this chapter)
Seeing Xiong Qingshan groping for the ax and chopping firewood there, Lin Xiu felt a little complicated for a while.
Although he actually added a pair of wild geese to the betrothal gift, Lin Xiu was surprised that he was willing to put so much effort into this marriage, but if she was moved by it, I'm sorry, she was not so easily moved.
She was even thinking that she and Xiong Qingshan had only met once when they fell into the water. Besides, it was also the day when she came to propose marriage. She returned the washed and re-sewn clothes to him. Dowry, and go hunting wild geese?
She boasted that apart from this face, she has no other advantages, but Xiong Qingshan doesn't look like the kind of person who is attracted to sex.
Then why did he offer such a heavy dowry?
Lin Xiu couldn't figure it out, and today Xiong Qingshan sent two more fish. Although Lin Xiu didn't show it at the time, she was very vigilant in her heart.
Now even watching him chopping firewood on his own initiative, her puzzlement almost overflowed.
She thought about it, but still didn't ask, she just turned back and continued cooking.
After her figure disappeared at the door, Xiong Qingshan in the yard suddenly raised his head, looking sharply into the kitchen.
How could he not feel Lin Xiu's gaze? He just didn't look at it because he was afraid of scaring Lin Xiu. He didn't look until Lin Xiu turned around, but he was also puzzled. Why did she suddenly come out to look?
……
The sun was getting worse, and after persisting in the field for a while, Lin Hongyuan came home.
The place where Xiong Qingshan chopped firewood was in the corner, and he couldn't see the direction from Lin Hongyuan's back. After he walked for a while, he suddenly found that there was an extra man in the house!
He was startled, and then looked intently, seeing that it was Xiong Qingshan, he was slightly relieved, but he was also very puzzled in his heart.
He heard footsteps from afar, until the sound got closer and the person's breathing became abnormal, Xiong Qingshan turned his head and saw that it was Lin Hongyuan coming back, he put down his ax and walked over to greet Lin Hongyuan: "Lin Hongyuan Uncle is back?"
Looking at Lin Xiu's age, he guessed that if his father was still alive, Lin Hongyuan would be younger than his father, so he called Uncle.
Lin Hongyuan nodded in response, "I'm back, I'm back, why are you here today?"
"I caught some fish in the morning, and I will send some over."
Lin Hongyuan nodded, and put the hoe against the wall after entering the yard, but he didn't ask why Xiong Qingshan didn't return after sending the fish. Axiu must have left him to eat before returning.
It is said that Xiong Qingshan is the only one in his family, such a man does not look like he can cook well, so it is just for him to try Axiu's craftsmanship.Isn't the common saying that if you want to grab a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach. After he has tasted Axiu's craftsmanship, he will value Axiu even more.
Lin Hongyuan thought in his heart, seeing that Xiong Qingshan was about to chop firewood again, he hurriedly stopped him and asked Xiong Qingshan to sit down and chop some more when he had nothing to do.
Xiong Qingshan said: "I'm here, I'm strong, and it doesn't take much effort to chop wood. Uncle Lin, you've been tired from working in the field all morning, you'd better take a rest first."
Lin Hongyuan was pinned on the stool. He looked at Xiong Qingshan who turned to chop firewood again, and his heart was touched beyond words.
There are so many married young ladies in the village, how many sons-in-law will come to Weng's house to help chop firewood?At most, it's just helping out during the busy farming season.
Look at Xiong Qingshan again!
Xiong Qingshan and his family just got hired, Xiong Qingshan can help him chop firewood if he comes to send a fish.Although Xiong Qingshan hasn't helped with farm work yet, Lin Hongyuan believes that Xiong Qingshan will come to help when the time comes.
Right now, Lin Hongyuan has changed from being picky and disgusting towards Xiong Qingshan to being pleasing to the eye no matter what. Lin Hongyuan has become the first prisoner in his family.
……
Hearing the voices coming from the courtyard, Lin Xiu was not in a hurry to go out, she put out the last cooked dishes, and while adding water to the pot to wash the pot, she shouted: "The meal is ready, Dad, wash your hands , you can eat!"
In the courtyard, Lin Hongyuan responded and called Xiong Qingshan: "Qingshan, don't chop it up, go and wash your hands."
Xiong Qingshan obediently put down the axe, and after Lin Hongyuan finished washing his hands, he put his hand into the cold water, rubbed it a few times indiscriminately, and then took it out. The kitchen helps with meals.
Today's meal, Lin Xiu did a good job.
There were only her and Lin Hongyuan in their family at noon. Lin Hongyuan's appetite is not big, but today there is an extra Xiong Qingshan. Although I don't know how much Xiong Qingshan can eat, but just looking at his stature, you can tell that he must be too little. It was too much to eat, so Lin Xiu filled more corn and steamed half a pot of rice.
Although they are dry land here, they can grow some corn.Apart from wheat, the Lin family planted the most corn. Because both Lin Xiu and Guo's mother and daughter love to eat rice, Lin Hongyuan grows corn every year.
The rice in the rice bowl was brought to the table first, Lin Hongyuan and Xiong Qingshan helped to take out the dishes and bowls and chopsticks, and the three of them sat down at the wooden table.
Lin Xiu first filled a bowl full of rice for Xiong Qingshan, and then went to fill it for Lin Hongyuan.
Lin Hongyuan took the rice bowl, put vegetables into Xiong Qingshan's bowl, and warmly greeted him: "Come, come, try this fish."
The fish was made from the two fish he brought, and the two fish were not too small, but Lin Xiu was afraid that there would not be enough for Xiong Qingshan to eat, so he cooked them anyway.
She sliced the fish into thin slices and then stir-fried it with a lot of peppers. It has a strong aroma. As soon as the aroma wafted out of the kitchen, it made Xiong Qingshan salivate. He was finally able to eat now. He thanked Lin Hongyuan , then picked up the fish and stuffed it directly into the mouth.
As soon as the fish was in the mouth, the taste buds on the tip of the tongue were enveloped by the aroma of chili, spices and the umami of the fish itself. It was so fragrant that Xiong Qingshan couldn't even speak, just nodded indiscriminately, and took a big mouthful of rice.
Seeing this, Lin Hongyuan let out a friendly laugh.
Swallowing the meal, Xiong Qingshan hurriedly made excuses for his ignorant behavior just now: "I have never eaten such a delicious fish. I myself am not able to eat fish. I don't have much meat, and I have thorns all over my body. It’s not enough to sit on.”
Lin Hongyuan smiled and said: "I didn't like to eat fish before, but Ah Xiu is very skilled and can make this fish very delicious. In this way, I don't care about trouble."
"That's right, who can care about other things in the face of delicious food?" Xiong Qingshan nodded.
"Come on, try this again."
Lin Hongyuan brought Xiong Qingshan another vegetable dish with chopsticks.
This vegetarian dish was picked from the courtyard. All the vegetables in the courtyard are juicy and delicious, let alone cooked by Lin Xiu's skillful hands.
But even so, what Xiong Qingshan loves the most is the pot of stir-fried fish fillets.
Both Lin Xiu and Lin Hongyuan's father and daughter only ate one bowl of rice, and Xiong Qingshan ate up the rest of the rice with fish fillets.Because she cooked a lot of rice and couldn't fit it in one pot, Lin Xiu only filled a small pot, so she watched Xiong Qingshan running to the kitchen again and again.
Until the end, Xiong Qingshan finally put down the bowl and chopsticks and burped.
Lin Xiu couldn't help thinking, is there any leftovers in the pot?She originally thought that if she couldn't finish eating, she could keep it until Lin Wenhan came back.
Because of Guo's death, their family hadn't eaten meat in the past few years, and Lin Wenhan hadn't eaten fish for a long time. Now Xiong Qingshan sent two fish. The rest is for Lin Wenhan to eat with rice.
It's just that she underestimated Xiong Qingshan's appetite, and she didn't expect that Xiong Qingshan could eat so much. At this moment, Lin Xiu secretly rejoiced that she had left a small bowl for Lin Wenhan earlier, otherwise, he might be Not even a smell.
In fact, Xiong Qingshan didn't know that Lin Xiu left some fish fillets alone?
He went to the kitchen to serve meals several times. Although there was still a strong aroma in the kitchen, the aroma of the dishes was not the same as the aroma left in the air.
Even if he knows, what can Xiong Qingshan do?After thinking about it, she knew that she left it to her younger brother. He is a big man, and he can only care about his own appetite, and he can't even tolerate it for his brother-in-law?
Thinking of the bowl of fish fillets in the kitchen, Xiong Qingshan felt his mouth water again. He swallowed, thinking, he really didn't want to leave such delicious fish fillets to Lin Wenhan.
But fortunately he was still sensible, so he ate up the meal with a lot of vegetarian dishes left on the table.
But he thought in his heart that when he married Lin Xiu, he would definitely catch more fish and let Lin Xiu make fish fillets for him.
……
Seeing that he finally put down the bowls and chopsticks, Lin Xiu got up to clear the table. Seeing this, Xiong Qingshan also got up to help, Lin Xiu glanced at him, but was not polite to him.
"Where do you wash?"
"It's in the yard." Lin Xiu said, went to the kitchen to get a wooden basin for washing dishes, walked to the well, and asked Xiong Qingshan to put the bowls and chopsticks in.
Putting the bowls and chopsticks away, Xiong Qingshan helped fetch water again, then stood aside and watched.
Uncomfortable being stared at by him, Lin Xiu said: "Father, I said I want to make clothes for him, please help me measure the size first."
Xiong Qingshan: "???"
Lin Hongyuan responded, and also stood up, "Axiu, what amount do you use?"
"Father, that rope is yours. Make a mark on the rope, and I'll look at it later."
"Okay." Lin Hongyuan said, and found a rope from the courtyard, "Come to Qingshan, I'll help you measure it."
Only then did Xiong Qingshan come back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "No, no, just wait for Lin Xiu to finish his work before measuring it for me."
"Hey, why are you being polite? I'll measure it for you first, and let Axiu see how much it is after a while. The clothes you make must not be too small."
Xiong Qingshan frowned, and simply raised his hand to take the rope, "I'll measure it myself."
Seeing that he insisted on this, Lin Hongyuan no longer insisted, and gave the rope to Xiong Qingshan.
Xiong Qingshan sighed in his heart, and resigned himself to measuring himself.
It was clearly supposed to be measured by Lin Xiu, so how could it be reduced to his own measurement?
……
Lin Xiu put the cleaned bowls and chopsticks back into the kitchen. Seeing that Xiong Qingshan had finished measuring, she took the rope and compared it with the ruler according to the length Xiong Qingshan said. Xiong Qingshan was watching, still a little unwilling, He said again: "What if I make a mistake? Why don't you help me measure it again."
Lin Xiu didn't speak, just looked at him sideways, Xiong Qingshan looked at her without guilt, in the end, Lin Xiu was defeated.But she still didn't want to do it by herself, so she said to Lin Hongyuan: "Father, you measure it, and I will record it by the side."
Lin Hongyuan responded, took the rope and first circled Xiong Qingshan's shoulders. Xiong Qingshan looked at Lin Hongyuan in front of him, sighed dejectedly, and acquiesced to this fact.
According to the several places Lin Xiu said, every time Lin Hongyuan finished measuring a place, he showed the rope to Lin Xiu. Lin Xiu used a ruler to draw it, and then first wrote down the number and asked Lin Hongyuan to measure the next place.
The ruler she used was a few years ago, and Guo asked someone to make it for her. It was a wooden ruler.She has used it for a long time, and the edges and corners of the ruler have been worn smooth, but now she really feels the inconvenience of this wooden ruler - if this ruler is as soft as a rope, it will not be so troublesome.
Soon, she measured all the measured places, Lin Xiu put away the ruler, and prepared to start making clothes at night.
It's just a dress for this person, and you don't need to embroider any flowers. It's very simple, and you won't be afraid of hurting your eyes under the lamp. On the contrary, it's her embroidering the wedding dress, which hurts your eyes at night, so it's better to do it in the white room as much as possible.
……
The impression of Xiong Qingshan was completely changed, which made Lin Hongyuan very excited. He didn't even care about taking a nap, and just sat in the yard, chatting briefly with Xiong Qingshan's parents.
He didn't have a clue when he said it, he just said it wherever he thought of it, Xiong Qingshan didn't feel annoyed when he heard it, no matter what Lin Hongyuan said, he could answer a sentence or two, so Lin Hongyuan had a better impression of him up.
When Xiong Qingshan wanted to go back in the middle of the afternoon, he was still very reluctant. He wanted to keep Xiong Qingshan at home for dinner before going back, but thinking that it would be dark by then, he was afraid that Xiong Qingshan would not be safe alone, so he had no choice but to take it back. What he said was changed to let Xiong Qingshan come and walk often when he has time.
Xiong Qingshan naturally agreed, because of Lin Xiu's culinary skills, he will often find an excuse to come to Lin's house for a meal in the future.
Just thinking about the meal he ate at noon, he silently thought: next time he comes, he must bring rice, so don't make the Lin family poor.
Seeing that Xiong Qingshan was gone, Lin Xiu poked his head out from the room, "Daddy, has he gone back?"
She would have slept for a while in the afternoon, but Xiong Qingshan was here today, even though Lin Hongyuan didn't sleep, she still didn't take a nap, and just buried herself in embroidery in the room.
Lin Hongyuan nodded and said, "Let's go, I took the bowl of fish fillets you kept away for him."
Xiong Qingshan wanted to leave, Lin Hongyuan originally wanted to keep him for another meal, but later he dismissed the idea, but thinking that Xiong Qingshan was alone and his workmanship was not good, Lin Hongyuan wanted to bring him some food back.After searching, he found the bowl of fish fillets that Lin Xiu had specially set aside.
Lin Xiu: "!!!"
She widened her eyes in astonishment, she didn't expect that she managed to save some for Lin Wenhan, but in the end she still couldn't keep it, and Lin Wenhan didn't have such good luck in the end.
Over there, Lin Hongyuan was still rambling: "You too, it's just a bowl of fish fillets, and it's not a good thing, why did you keep it on purpose? This fish was caught by Qingshan, if he didn't bring it to us, We can't eat either."
"...that's what I left for brother." Lin Xiu said quietly.
Lin Hongyuan: "..."
"I actually forgot about Wenhan..." He smiled awkwardly, and then said: "If it's gone this time, it's gone. If you eat less, Wenhan can't do anything. Wait until you buy fish in two days, and you can buy fish again." Do it once and save it for Wenhan."
After he said that, what else could Lin Xiu say? She smiled slightly and asked Lin Hongyuan if he wanted to sleep for a while.
Lin Hongyuan waved his hand, "No, no, it's getting late, I'm going to the fields. You can sleep a little longer."
Knowing that Lin Xiu probably didn't sleep much, Lin Hongyuan instructed.
Lin Xiu shook her head, "I won't sleep either."
Lin Hongyuan didn't say anything, picked up the hoe and went out. Lin Xiu packed up the sewing dowry and sat in the yard again.
It's hot inside, but it's cooler outside.
……
Over there, Xiong Qingshan walked out of Shanqian Village, but he was still full of joy.
He lowered his head to look at the bowl of fish fillet in his hand, but he didn't press down the corner of his raised mouth.
He really didn't expect that this bowl of fish fillets couldn't escape his palm. Thinking of the taste of this bowl of fish fillets, Xiong Qingshan wished that it would be soon at night so that he could cook some rice and eat it with it.
As for whether he would eat this bowl of fish fillets originally reserved for Lin Wenhan and feel guilty...Xiong Qingshan never thought about Lin Wenhan at all.
It's just that as she was walking with the bowl in her hand, her footsteps stopped suddenly, and he forgot to ask Lin Xiu, how does it look like he can hunt wild geese!
Annoyance appeared on his face, but then he explained to himself: It doesn't matter if you forgot, he still has this bowl of fish fillets, this trip is not a return empty-handed, this is also a blessing and a curse!As for that question, when will it be impossible to ask, but if he missed this bowl of fish fillets, he would regret it for a long time.
After enlightening himself, Xiong Qingshan strode towards Xujiaao with the bowl in his hand.
Xiong Qingshan was fast, when he got home, he happened to meet Jinhua, Sun Daniu, and Feng's family who were going to the fields.
The Sun family was about to go out to the fields, but saw Xiong Qingshan standing at the door of the house, Jin Hua couldn't help asking: "Qingshan, I didn't see you at noon, where did you go?"
With things in mind, Xiong Qingshan woke up when the sky was only a little bright.He hastily ate breakfast, and it was early when he went out. At that time, the Sun family who had gone to the fields hadn't returned yet. When he came back, he saw that the gate of Xiong's house was locked, but Xiong Qingshan was gone.
"I went to Lin's house." Xiong Qingshan replied truthfully.
"Going to Lin's house?"
Jin Hua didn't care about going to the field anymore, she sent her son and daughter-in-law to go first, and then asked again: "Can you see Xiu'er?"
Xiong Qingshan nodded, and took out the key to unlock it, but he was holding the bowl in one hand and only one hand was left, so it was very inconvenient to open the lock. Seeing this, Jin Hua hurriedly took the key and opened the door for Xiong Qingshan.
It was also at this moment that Jin Hua noticed that he was still holding a bowl in his hand, and she couldn't help asking curiously: "You can go to the Lin family, why did you take a bowl? Is this from the Lin family?"
Seeing Xiong Qingshan nodding, she said again: "You too, don't tell me you don't have any bowls at home, and why did you take the Lin family's?"
……
While the two were talking, they had already entered the courtyard, Xiong Qingshan put the bowl on the table in the courtyard, and said while fetching water: "I caught a few fish today and sent them to the Lin family, and I will eat them at the Lin family at noon This is what Uncle Lin brought to me when I came back."
"Wow!"
He washed his face, splashed the water in the basin on the corner of the wall, and casually wiped his face with his sleeve.
Hearing his words, Jin Hua was surprised and said: "Not bad, they were all left for dinner."
Xiong Qingshan just smiled, he didn't have the nerve to say that it was because of his thick skin, in his opinion, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter if he is thick-skinned or not?
After asking Xiong Qingshan a few more questions carefully, Jin Hua went to the field. Xiong Qingshan originally wanted to go to the field, but he was afraid that the wild cats in the village would come and eat them, so he had to stay at home instead of going to the field.
It's just that he was staying at home, but he was not idle. He remembered the day he rescued Lin Xiu, and seemed to have picked up a bag that Lin Xiu had forgotten, so he found it.
The burden must have fallen into the water along with Lin Xiu. When he picked it up, it was wet. After returning home, he threw the burden in the courtyard.In summer, the sun was very hot, and the wet burden was quickly dried, but he forgot about it, and when it was dark, he remembered, picked up the burden and threw it into the house in the corner.
Now looking at the dusty bag that was dug out, he suddenly became a little curious, what was in this bag?
It was nothing more than some clothes, Xiong Qingshan stared at the bundle for a while, then put it away again.
Forget it, what is in this package, when Lin Xiu marries in, won't he know?It is not the work of a real man to turn over people's things for no reason!
……
In the evening, Xiong Qingshan couldn't wait to wash the rice and cook a pot of rice according to Jinhua's teaching. When the rice was cooked, he poured some fish fillets into the bowl, mixed it with chopsticks, and ate it in big mouthfuls stand up.
He eats well, but he feels sorry for the Lin family. Hearing that he unfortunately missed a bowl of stir-fried fish fillets, Lin Wenhan looked depressed. He looked at Lin Hongyuan sadly, and said, "Father, could it be in your heart that he Is it your own son? There is something delicious, just think about him."
Lin Hongyuan was still a little guilty, but when he heard Lin Wenhan's words, he gave Lin Wenhan a slap, "What nonsense is this? If you want to eat, I'll buy you a fish tomorrow. It's just Can a bowl of fish fillets still make you hungry?"
Lin Wenhan hurriedly said flatteringly, "My father still loves me."
Lin Hongyuan snorted and said, "Hurry up and eat!"
Lin Wenhan chuckled twice, picked up the bowl and concentrated on eating.
After dinner, Lin Xiu packed up the dishes and went back to her room, where she cut the fabric under the lamp.
This piece of fabric was one of the betrothal gifts sent yesterday, some of which were dark in color and could be worn by both men and women, so she took a piece of ochre, and planned to make a coat for Xiong Qingshan.
The men's clothes are much simpler. She first draws a few lines with charcoal, and then cuts the cloth according to the drawn lines. Finally, she recognizes the needles and sews the cloth together under the lamp.
She was quick, and in a short time, she sewed the fabrics together, and she cut a few shorter strips of fabric, and fixed them to the sides to make belts, and the clothes were completed.
She spread the clothes on the bed, looked carefully, and mended some things that were missed just now, then folded the clothes and put them on the bedside cabinet. When Xiong Qingshan came, she would give the clothes to the bed he.
After the clothes were finished, Lin Xiu yawned.Now it was the time for her to rest in the past, and she didn't take a nap during the day, so she was very sleepy at the moment, so she took off her shoes, changed into her pajamas, and lay down to sleep after blowing out the candles.
The moon outside the window is bright, and a piece of silver frost is sprinkled on the ground. The land is quiet, except for the sound of cicadas and frogs, which makes the boundless night a bit more wild.
……
On the second day, Lin Hongyuan really wasn't in a hurry to go to the field. He went to the market first, bought a few fish from the fish seller, sent a few to Guo's house and Lin Hongzhi's house, and took the rest back. Home.
Seeing these fish, Lin Xiu consciously killed them. After washing them, they put them in the kitchen to marinate. When the time was up, they went into the kitchen to cook.
They absolutely couldn't eat three fish, and the fish couldn't help but let it go, even if it was put in the water, it would not take long to die, so Lin Xiu knew that Lin Hongyuan bought so much, probably Xiong Qingshan's one serving.
She had no objection to this, two pieces of money were put in the bride price, enough to buy a lot of fish.
Thinking that she just made stir-fried fish fillets yesterday, Lin Xiu didn't do it again today, but braised the fish in brown sauce.The small kitchen was filled with a strong aroma. After the fish was cooked, Lin Xiu served one portion separately, while the ones they ate at home served separately.
In addition to fish, Lin Xiu picked beans from the yard and fried them, and also served Xiong Qingshan a serving, thinking that he didn't eat much vegetarian dishes at the beginning yesterday, so she didn't serve too much, only the meat was tired Some relief.
After Lin Hongyuan came back, she asked, "Father, does this fish belong to Xiong Qingshan?"
Lin Hongyuan washed his face, and replied: "He has a share. He can't cook well by himself, and it's quite pitiful. I thought that if nothing happened, we would send some to him from time to time."
"Then, who will send it?"
"..."
Lin Hongyuan stopped washing his face, "I didn't think it was thoughtful, the meal is ready? Well, I'll send it to you, you eat first."
Lin Xiu pursed her lips and said, "Let's eat first, and I'll deliver it later."
Lin Hongyuan loved her and refused to let her go to the fields, but she could no longer look at Lin Hongyuan who had worked hard all morning, and run to Xujiaao under the sun.
Anyone can do this, so why let Lin Hongyuan go?
"I'll send it after we finish eating, isn't he also finished eating?"
"After lunch and dinner, the food has not been touched, so it can always be put away." Lin Xiu said, and brought out the food. Seeing this, Lin Hongyuan didn't say much, and helped take out the bowls and chopsticks. The two girls ate.
After lunch, Lin Xiu wanted to clean up the dishes, but was stopped by Lin Hongyuan, "I'm here, you go and deliver food to Qingshan."
Lin Xiu felt a little unfair in her heart, but she didn't say anything, and only let Lin Hongyuan go to rest early after finishing her work. She went back to her room and took the clothes newly made for Xiong Qingshan, and then wrapped the food in a basket and hung it on her shoulders. Arm out the door.
……
Lin Xiu hadn't been to that Xujia'ao yet, but she only knew which direction Xujia'ao was in Shanqian Village. When she left the house, she went in the direction of Xujia'ao.
But when she arrived at Xujia'ao, she didn't know where to go, and there was no one on the side of the road at this moment, so she had to knock on the door of a house to ask for directions.
The person who opened the door was the one from the Dahe family who had previously said something about Lin Xiu and Xiong Qingshan. Her natal family is from Shanqian Village. Now she recognized Lin Xiu who knocked on the door. She couldn't help but asked with a smile: " Isn't this Xiu'er, why did you come to Xujia'ao?"
Lin Xiu also recognized her, and said with a smile: "Sister Chunhua, my father bought some fish and asked me to deliver some to Xiong Qingshan, but I didn't know where his home was, so I wanted to ask, but I didn't expect it to happen It's Sister Chunhua, your home."
The name of Dahe's family is Lin Chunhua, who is of the same generation as Lin Xiunai.
"You are looking for Qingshan. His house is very easy to find. You go straight along this road, and after five intersections, there is a hole in the door on the west side of the road. Shall I take you there?"
Lin Xiu hurriedly refused: "No need, sister Chunhua is just busy."
After bidding farewell to Lin Chunhua, Lin Xiu followed what she said and walked forward.
As Lin Chunhua said, along this avenue, Lin Xiu passed five forks and walked a few steps forward. She really saw a broken wooden door on one of the closed wooden doors of a family on the west side of the road. Hole.
Lin Xiu, who met the Xiong family for the first time: "..."
Seeing that there were actually two pieces of money in the dowry, she thought that the Xiong family was better off than her own, but now looking at the door with a hole in it, Lin Xiu felt that perhaps the Xiong family was indeed richer than the Lin family. But it's enough that he's not rich, otherwise he wouldn't be able to use this to break the door.
Thinking of the two copper coins at home again, Lin Xiu couldn't help thinking, Xiong Qingshan would never put all the money in the family into the betrothal gift, would he?
Thinking wildly, she stood in front of Xiong's house and knocked on the door.
……
Xiong's house, Xiong Qingshan is lying on the bed and falling asleep.
He didn't go to Lin's house today, he got up early and went to the fields to do farm work for a while, and came home when the sun was poisonous.He was alone, and he didn't have any cooking skills, so he made some random food to fill his stomach, and then went back to his room to sleep. He got up early, and now he was sleepy, and he closed his eyelids as soon as he lay down.
Until there was a knock on the door outside, the person who was lying soundly asleep suddenly sat up, turned over and got out of bed, and walked outside in large strides amidst the voices outside.
Lin Xiu knocked on the door a few times, then stopped first, but she didn't wait for Xiong Qingshan to come to open the door, but she waited for Jin Hua.
Seeing Jin Hua coming out from the courtyard next to her, Lin Xiu was slightly surprised and called out "Aunt Jin".
Jin Hua was also a little surprised, "It's so late at noon, why are you here?"
"My father went to the market in the morning to buy some fish, and I made some at noon to give away."
While the two were talking, the broken door of Xiong's house was suddenly opened, revealing Xiong Qingshan who was shirtless.
Hearing the sound of the door, Lin Xiu and Jin Hua subconsciously turned their heads to look, but unexpectedly, they bumped into a bronze wall of flesh, Lin Xiu's cheeks instantly turned red, and she turned her head again. , her cheeks burned no less than the sun at this moment.
Jin Hua hurriedly said: "You man, you don't even put on your clothes when you come out! Hurry up, hurry up, put on some clothes before you come out."
Although Lin Xiu turned her head away, she couldn't cover her ears. Her cheeks were flushed, and the red went all the way down her ears and burned down to her neck.Xiong Qingshan stared at Lin Xiu and gave a "hmm", but turned around after all, he didn't go back to his room, he just took a piece of clothes from the clothes drying pole in the yard, put them on casually and walked over.
……
"Tie up your clothes." Jin Hua said again.
Although he put on clothes, his chest was still exposed. Lin Xiu, an unmarried lady, how could she have such a thick skin?
Xiong Qingshan did not listen to Jin Hua this time, he said: "What is it, I am very hot."
"You, you, you..." Jin Hua slapped him on the shoulder several times in anger from the lump of elm.
Xiong Qingshan let her shoot, but it didn't hurt anyway, he stared at Lin Xiu, and asked, "Why are you here now?"
Lin Xiu stared at the weeds on the ground, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I'll bring you some food."
In fact, Xiong Qingshan smelled it early, it was fish, accompanied by a strong aroma of sauce, although I don't know how it was made, but it was certainly not the same way as yesterday.Although he knew about it long ago, he still asked maliciously: "What kind of food will I send, I will do it myself, and you still ran against the sun all the time."
Lin Xiu thought, I don't want to come and give it away, but said: "My father bought a lot of fish, we will spoil it if we can't finish it."
That's why I want to send it to you, but don't think that we are thinking about you!
Xiong Qingshan chuckled, he didn't block the door after all, he stepped aside, "Let's rest in the courtyard first." He said, looking at Jin Hua again.
He also watched him grow up, how could Jin Hua fail to see through his thoughts at the moment, she waved her hand and said: "I still have something to do at home, so I won't go in." Afraid that Xiong Qingshan would forget his appearance, she also warned : "Don't close the door, so as not to be guessed."
The red color on Lin Xiu's face became heavier.
What does Jinhua mean, why can't she understand?It was precisely because of this that it made her feel uncomfortable.
……
Completely different from Lin Xiu, who was shy and embarrassed, Xiong Qingshan was like a normal person. He responded and watched Jin Hua's figure disappear behind the gate of Sun's house. Then he looked at Lin Xiu again, implicitly urging: "Not yet. Come in?"
Lin Xiu didn't look at him, and directly took the basket off her arm, no matter which direction Xiong Qingshan was in, she handed it forward indiscriminately, "It's all in the basket, and the clothes I made last night, you can put them on later Try to see if it fits."
After she finished speaking, she hoped that Xiong Qingshan would take the basket over quickly, but Xiong Qingshan didn't do what she wanted. He leaned against the door frame and said, "I'm going back now? I've walked this hard in the sun , and don’t come in for a drink of water? If Uncle Lin finds out, he will definitely scold me.”
Hearing Lin Hongyuan mentioned by him, Lin Xiu felt a little hesitant, but before she could make a decision, Xiong Qingshan suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist and led her to the courtyard, "At least sit down and rest before going back. "
As soon as he pulled it, the basket swayed, fearing that the vegetables in the basket would spill out and stain the clothes, Lin Xiu hurriedly used the other hand to protect the basket, and by the time she realized it, she had already entered the courtyard.
Lin Xiu stared at him angrily, "How could you do this!"
"What's wrong with me? I just invited you in to have a rest." Xiong Qingshan put his arms around his chest, raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xiu who finally dared to look at him.
Meeting his eyes, Lin Xiu was stuck as if she had been strangled by the neck. She lowered her head again and sat down on the stool next to her.
Xiong Qingshan gave a "tsk" in disappointment, and finally took the basket over, "I'll pour you some water."
As he spoke, his steps towards the kitchen stopped.
He only cared about "deceiving" Lin Xiu in, but forgot that there was no hot water in his house!He usually drank well water and never boiled hot water. Now that Lin Xiu was here, he was looking for hot water, and he didn't know where to find it.
He only had a moment, and then he calmed down again. He put down the basket first, and said nonchalantly, "I'll go to Mrs. Jin's house first", then turned and went to Sun's house to borrow hot water.
Hearing that he wanted to borrow some hot water for Lin Xiu, Jin Hua said angrily, "Do you know how to boil hot water now?"
Xiong Qingshan nodded, "I will remember it later."
Jin Hua didn't make things difficult for him, she directly brought him a pot of not-so-hot water, and sent him away.
……
When Xiong Qingshan went back, Lin Xiu was still sitting there, but raised his head slightly, quietly looking around the yard.
As soon as she heard the sound of footsteps, she hurriedly looked away, and lowered her head again. Xiong Qingshan looked amused, but he didn't expose her. He just put the kettle on the table in front of her, picked up a bowl on the table and knocked on it. A bowl of water was poured into the bowl with a small gap.
Only then did Lin Xiu notice that he brought the kettle from outside!Thinking about what he said just now... He actually got the water from the Sun family? !
She couldn't help but be a bit surprised in her tone: "Did you take this water from Aunt Jin's house?"
Xiong Qingshan: "..."
The person who was always fearless, felt cramped for the first time, he pressed his fist to his lips and gave a dry cough, and said: "I'm not used to drinking hot water, so I haven't burned it, so I went to Mrs. Jin's house to borrow some water. "
Lin Xiu: "..."
She really didn't expect that this matter was related to herself, she said: "I said it earlier, but you insisted on pulling me in."
She insisted on keeping someone to drink tea, but in the end there was no hot water at home, this was the first time she had seen it.
"...I started boiling water today." Xiong Qingshan explained.
Although he still doesn't like drinking hot water, who knows if Lin Xiu will come over suddenly?A kettle of hot water was prepared to save Lin Xiu from coming again, but he couldn't even find a sip of hot water.
Lin Xiu snorted, "You can burn it whenever you like."
Xiong Qingshan didn't answer her words, he went to the kitchen and took out the rice to have a look, seeing that there was a thick layer of braised fish on the corn rice, he smiled with his lips curled up, and carefully put the rice bowl on the stove At the table, go out with the basket.
……
Seeing Xiong Qingshan go to the kitchen, Lin Xiu picked up the bowl and drank water.
She was really thirsty at this moment, but she was embarrassed in front of Xiong Qingshan, after all, she had disliked Xiong Qingshan just now and insisted on keeping her to drink, if she drank water in front of him now, wouldn't it be Didn't you slap yourself in the face?
She had just taken a few sips when she heard footsteps behind her.There are only the two of them in the Xiong family at the moment, so it goes without saying whose footsteps are coming from.Lin Xiu hurriedly put down the bowl, and quietly wiped the water stains on her lips with the corner of her sleeve, pretending that she hadn't drunk water just now.
Xiong Qingshan glanced at her, pretended not to notice her small movements, and walked up to Lin Xiu with the basket in his hand, put the basket on the table, picked up the clothes laid flat on the bottom of the basket, and asked: "What is this?" Did you make new clothes for me?"
Lin Xiu put her eyes on the ochre-colored clothes and nodded slightly.
"Then I'll try it on first."
As Xiong Qingshan said, he actually took off the outer shirt he had just put on!
"!!!"
After hiding for a long time, Lin Xiu, who still couldn't escape, was caught off guard and widened her beautiful eyes.
Ask for the first order! ! !Kowtow begging, kneeling begging, rolling and begging~ Don’t miss it when you pass by, come and have a look!
