The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 37

"We can't do this, it's against morality in this world." Wan Xiaoliu muttered behind him.

"When I'm well, I'll rebuild our house when I earn money, and then I'll marry you in eight palanquins." Wan Mofei's voice made Wan Xiaoliu sound like he was talking about a very normal thing.

"Who said I'm going to marry you?" Wan Xiaoliu refused, and wanted to break free from Wan Mofei's hand, how could Wan Mofei let her break free so easily.

"You heard what I said just now. In the future, when that man called Wanbao comes, just tell him that you want to marry me." It seems that Wan Mofei is with Wan Xiaoliu. Wan Xiaoliu heard him say The longest sentence of .

"What are you doing?" Wan Xiaoliu panicked, panicked and confused, is this a true confession?
"I just want to tell you that I want to marry you. No one can marry you except me." Wan Mofei was extremely firm.

"Could it be that you broke your head? Let me see." Wan Xiaoliu reached out and touched Wan Mofei's forehead: "You don't have a fever, baby, what are you doing tonight?"

Wan Mofei pulled down Wan Xiaoliu's hand, stood still, and said to Wan Xiaoliu: "I swear, everything I say tonight is the truth, if there is even a half-truth, I would like to be struck by lightning from the sky, and I will never die." For people."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go, if you don't leave, it's time for uncle and aunt to rest." Wan Xiaoliu hurriedly smeared and walked forward.Be careful, now I guess the heartbeat is extremely abnormal, I can hear the sound of bouncing, this person is sick, why is he talking about something at night.

Wan Mofei grabbed Wan Xiaoliu and said, "Don't run away, I will prove it with my actions."

"I never believe in swearing. Men's words can be relied on, sows have climbed trees. Besides, you are now losing your memory. When you recover your memory, you don't even think about how many beautiful girls are waiting for you in your family." It was the first time for Wan Xiaoliu to be confessed by a man at such an age, and she said it as if it was true. She was flustered and rejected.

"I'm sorry, let's go." Wan Mofei was silent for a while, then took Wan Xiaoliu's hand and walked forward.

Wan Xiaoliu went to his uncle's house to borrow a liter of corn seeds, and went back the same way with Wan Mofei. They were silent all the way, until at home, Wan Xiaoliu brought a basin of warm water and asked Wan Mofei to sit down and relieve himself. Wrapped in his underwear, he wiped off the blood on his hands with a cotton cloth, and then poured some oil on it, spreading it evenly.

"Okay, if you apply oil, it will speed up the healing of the wound. Keep this hand safe at night."

After Wan Xiaoliu finished, he closed the door to rest, neither of them said a word.

A wall separates two people with different minds.

This night, Wan Xiaoliu tossed and turned. He was fine, and he could definitely ask him to leave. We have lived together for more than two months. There are many people in the family, and it is very lively. Now I am used to his existence and eating together. I couldn't even open my mouth to let him go.It's just that this person's whole body is full of enigmas, making himself unable to understand and elusive.

Wan Mofei didn't sleep, but was meditating. His injured body hadn't fully healed yet, and today he used his internal energy and needed to adjust his breath.And tonight's words were spoken like this for the first time, although there was no explicit rejection, it was also a tactful rejection.Calm is needed.

Early in the morning, Wan Xiaoliu got up early to wash clothes as usual, and Wan Mofei was still meditating with his eyes closed, neither calling him nor disturbing him.Take the clothes to the well to wash.The laundry was hung to dry under the eaves.For breakfast, I cooked dry rice and fried vegetables.Wan Xiaoliu wanted to tell Wan Mofei to eat, but seeing that he was still meditating with his eyes closed, he stopped talking, made some food for himself, and put it in the pot to warm it up, let him eat when he gets up.

He lifted up the burnt ashes that were covered with grass in the yard, packed a load, and went to the field with a hoe, a rake and corn seeds.Walking halfway, he turned back and took some flint to see that Wan Mofei was still closing his eyes.

Arriving at the edge of the land that Wan Mofei dug two days ago, he found an open space, cut down the thatch and small shrubs in the open space, and then raked the grass hoed that day to the open space, piled up a layer of grass and a layer of soil, Form a square with as many as four or five layers, and it is not good until the last layer is covered with soil.Then I went to the mountain to rake a bunch of pine needles, scattered them on the four corners, and lit the pine needles at each corner with flint, and the pile of grass and soil immediately burned.Billows of smoke drifted into the sky.

Wan Xiaoliu hastily dug three pits on the three pieces of flattened ground with similar intervals. After digging all of them, he used a broken bowl to put half a bowl of ashes in each pit, and a load of them would soon be scattered. , Carrying an empty load again, go back to pick it.

When he got to the door of his house, he packed up the ashes and saw Wan Mofei standing at the door.

"I'll pick it." Wan Mofei took the hook from her back, picked up the ashes and left.

"Have you eaten yet?" Wan Xiaoliu asked.

"Eat." Wan Mofei wasn't very good at it, and his gray waist was bent.

Wan Xiaoliu didn't enter the door, so he followed Wan Mofei.Wan Mofei watched Wan Xiaoliu manipulate it, and was about to take it, but she refused.

"Your hand is bad, you can wait a few more days before you can do anything. Just stay with me. I was not afraid of going up the mountain alone before, but after I fell into a ravine last time, I was scared." Wan Xiaoliu explained.

After a load of ashes had been scattered, Wan Mofei picked up the load again and went back to pick the ashes. Wan Xiaoliu began to sow the corn seeds, three seeds in each pit, and put them in the middle.After the seeds were sown, Wan Mofei came with the ashes. Wan Xiaoliu put down the hoe in his hand and scattered the ashes. Three plots and three loads of ashes were done.Wan Mofei watched as Wan Xiaoliu did the farm work. After sowing the seeds, he covered them up with a hoe.

It was almost noon, and the ashes had no open flame, but they were still burning.After finishing all the land, Wan Xiaoliu dug out a few scarecrows from the hole under the side slope and inserted them in the middle of the field.

"There are many birds here, and the little squirrels dig the soil to find seeds." Wan Xiaoliu explained.

"You made this scarecrow?" Wan Mofei asked carefully.

"Well, doesn't it look good?" Wan Xiaoliu was super smug.

"Ah."

"Let's go back. The ashes are still burning. Come rake firewood in the afternoon and have a look." Wan Xiaoliu threw the rake into the ditch.Wan Mofei carried the burden, and the two walked back one after the other.

When he got home, the first thing Wan Xiaoliu did was wash his hands, and the second thing was to sit down and drink water.Wan Mofei put the burden into the firewood shed, took a hoe to gather together the ashes he had picked up earlier, and covered it with straw.

"What do we have for lunch?" Wan Xiaoliu asked Wan Mofei.

"Whatever." Wan Mofei's reply caused Wan Xiaoliu to roll his eyes.

Lifting the lid of the pot, the morning meal remained untouched.

"Why don't you eat breakfast?" Wan Xiaoliu was a little annoyed, "Skipping breakfast is very bad for your health, don't you know? This is very hurtful to the stomach?"

"I've eaten it. I ate dry rice." Wan Mofei walked up to Wan Xiaoliu, and stretched out his hand to her: "Help me wash my hands."
