Chapter 209 Mrs. Xiang's Happy Life
Chapter [-] The Happy Life of Mrs. Xiang
In the blink of an eye, the days passed by, and it was midsummer.

There were cicadas singing outside, Zhao Shuangxi took a long bamboo pole with boiled sticky rice glue on it, and looked at He Lanshan who was squatting in the shade of a tree eating watermelon, and muttered, "Lanshan, what are you doing?" Don’t like Zhanzhi, those children in our village are so cute and playful, and you have to do what your mother specially made for you.”

"Are other children as smart as me?" He Lanshan swallowed a mouthful of watermelon and asked vaguely. Now that she has been deeply involved in the play, she feels that she is a very smart eight-year-old child.

Seeing Zhao Shuangxi struggling to hold the bamboo pole with both hands on the tips of her toes, and then leaning her neck, the sun was shining again and her whole body was scorching hot. have to do it all over again.

He Lanshan frowned even deeper, would she do such a tiring thing?
"Mom, don't you feel that your neck is a little sore, your arms are a little sore, and even your ankles are a little sore?"

Zhao Shuangxi thought it was okay at first, but when He Lanshan said this, she felt that she couldn't exert all her strength, so she threw the long bamboo pole aside, "Forget it, I'll do it after the three boys finish school, they love to know gone."

"You can't eat too much watermelon if it's sweet. This is already the second piece. If you eat any more, you'll have a stomachache." Zhao Shuangxi squatted next to He Lanshan, feeling refreshed under the shade of the tree.

"Mom, give you half."

He Lanshan's stomach was almost full, but the watermelon soaked in well water was like taking it out of the refrigerator. It was especially refreshing. She couldn't hold it anymore, so she had to break half of it and hand it to Zhao Shuangxi.

Zhao Shuangxi had already eaten a piece of it before, but she couldn't resist the temptation of watermelon, so she took it.Put it in your mouth and bite it lightly, the cool and sweet taste is not to mention how beautiful it is.

She remembered that in previous summers, when she was in He's old house, not only did she not have to enjoy the shade in summer, but she also had to cook.This kitchen is just like a stove. After cooking a meal, the sweat can soak all the clothes. After cooking, you have to feed the pigs and chickens. After all the homework is done, you have to wash the clothes of the five members of your family.

She is like a spinning top, she is too busy to stop.

Thinking of this, she felt sour in her heart, and the corners of her eyes were moist.

"Mother, people have to look forward. Didn't Mr. Qi say that the eldest brother will be able to take the county examination next year? By then, our family will be able to attain the Tao alone, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven!" When He Lanshan mentioned the county examination, he thought of the hospital examination and government examination try.

As she said that, her eyes lit up, she might have a chance to go to Wangyue Mansion, she wondered if she could meet Gu Liuyun!
Zhao Shuangxi looked at her daughter looking ahead, as if she was thinking about her own affairs, she quickly wiped away her tears with her hands, then took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "What chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, you compare us to this chicken and dog Ahh!"

"Haha, it seems so." He Lanshan smiled belatedly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, Zhao Shuangxi went to open the door, and it turned out to be Mrs. Xiang.

She hasn't been here for a while. At this time, she was walking towards He Lanshan with a cloth bag in her hand, "Come here, come and see the sweet melon seeds made by Grandma Xiang. I brought you a big bag." .”

"Eating melon seeds in this summer, don't get angry." Zhao Shuangxi looked at such a big bag, if He Lanshan had a hot sore in his mouth, he would be crying.

Xiang Pozi frowned and said: "Oh, don't you believe me? You told me that the melon seeds made with this method will definitely not get angry, and the tangerine peel that is added to the fire... Oh, it's my secret recipe. "

He Lanshan saw that Mrs. Xiang was well-dressed today, she was wearing a new summer shirt, which was pea green, her face was powdered, her eyebrows were drawn very carefully, and her face was touched with rouge.

At the age of nearly fifty, he looks like he is in his early forties.

"Thank you, Granny Xiang. Seeing your ruddy complexion and good mood, is there something good going on recently!" He Lanshan hastily hugged a large bag of fragrant melon seeds that Granny Xiang gave her.

Zhao Shuangxi finished eating half of the watermelon in his hand, and went back to the house to get the watermelon for Mrs. Xiang. When she came out, she and He Lanshan were already chatting.

"Recently, Matchmaker Wang introduced a man to me. He was only 35 years old. He was so kind and righteous. The former daughter-in-law died of illness, and the house was also sold to the former daughter-in-law for medical treatment." The creases in Xiang's eyes laughed Out.

"Okay, young and strong." He Lanshan gave a thumbs up, unexpectedly, Xiang Pozi was quite efficient.

"You little girl, hey, you can make me happy, and you are hardworking and capable. You just have a daughter. The little girl is in her teens and she doesn't want me to piss and pee. Just give me food." It's happiness, even with a man and a child, I don't think it's a problem.

"You're living together now?" Zhao Shuangxi stuffed the watermelon into the hands of Mrs. Xiang, her eyes were as big as copper bells.

Mrs. Xiang was still shy at the moment, and covered her face with a watermelon, "Hey, I'm getting old now, don't mess around with young people, and I don't want a betrothal gift or anything like that. , let’s live together.”

Zhao Shuangxi obviously didn't accept this matter so quickly, so he counted with his fingers, "35, isn't this ten years younger than you, isn't he trying to get your money?"

"If you want my money, you want my money, and if you find an old man, you don't want my money!" Mrs. Xiang said briskly, eating watermelon with her mouth pouted, for fear of rubbing off her mouth fat.

Zhao Shuangxi choked, as if it was about the same.

"Mom, you see that since the man in Xiangba is willing, it means that Granny Xiang is worth it. Besides, being rich is also one of the advantages of Granny Xiang. Besides, Granny Xiang doesn't just go out for romance. Men are hardworking and don't do anything. Alright." He Lanshan rested her chin to prevent her mother from blurting out dangerous remarks, otherwise they might lose a good neighbor.

Listening to He Lanshan's words, Granny Xiang narrowed her eyes with joy, why did it sound so pleasant to her ears.

She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yes, yes, he works at Carpenter Li, and the money settled last month has been handed over to me. Although it is not much, it is also a heart, and this On weekdays, when I buy vegetables, he cooks them at home, and my little girl washes the clothes at home, as long as she is good, I will have to back up a generous dowry for her to marry in two years."

He Lanshan felt that Granny Xiang was happy and satisfied now, no wonder she didn't go out to gossip about things in the streets and alleys, so she had a caring person at home.

Zhao Shuangxi thought it sounded good, but such old wives and young husbands were rarely heard of.

"Let's not talk about it, my guy should be off work. I'll go and see him cook. If you have a chance, come to my house and try my man's handicrafts." Mrs. Xiang said after eating the watermelon, her buttocks couldn't sit still. .
