The Landlord And His Wife

    One year later.

    At the end of September, Shicheng was driving a car with Liu Xuer on the way back to Taohua Village. The shop in Hanzhong Mansion received a big business. A businessman from the northeast took a fancy to the five-finger cotton hand cover made of rabbit fur. They wanted to buy a large batch. Dedicated to free up a line to do this kind of hand cover.

    Liu Xuer is worried that the rabbit fur will not be able to keep up, this time come back to see the situation of the rabbits.

    The two people's carriage entered the village, and then someone recognized Shicheng, mainly because the carriage was still a bit dazzling to walk in the village, although the Peach Blossom Village today is really different from before. Most of the people's lives are better than before, which is more or less related to Liu Xuer's family, but it is still obvious that the carriage enters the village.

    When a younger man saw Shi Cheng, he first shouted: "Is this Shi Juren?" Before Shi Cheng nodded, he turned around and shouted: "Shi Juren is back. Shi Juren is back!"

    Shicheng smiled bitterly, and when Liu Xuer heard it in the car, she also opened the curtains and windows of the car. They all entered the village, and they were all acquaintances. A bit of a shelf, no need.

    Sure enough, the carriage was surrounded by many people after a while. Everyone smiled and walked slowly around the carriage. Some asked Shicheng's parents how they were, and some asked Liu's grandma and parents how they were. Yes, there are also people who ask them how their business is going now, etc. It's so lively.

    Shi Cheng and Liu Xuer all smiled and answered one by one, seeing that the two had no sense of life and no air, the villagers were more satisfied, and they looked at them differently Now, it was almost the carriage that surrounded the two of them all the way to Liu Changqi's side.

    Liu Changqi's yard has been renovated and enlarged. There is a yard specially for the rabbit nest, and the yard wall is higher than that of their own yard.

    Liu Changqi knew that the two were coming, and had already been waiting at the door. When he saw a group of people approaching like a snail from a distance, he knew he was coming, and greeted him with a smile.

    At the door, Shi Cheng helped Liu Xuer out of the car, the two smiled and greeted Liu Changqi, and then entered the yard, and the more enthusiastic villagers were still reluctant to leave, so they also Followed in and wandered around the courtyard.

      Liu Changqi's daughter-in-law was busy making tea when she saw the two entering the room and said with a smile, "Shicheng and Xu'er are here!"

    The two hurriedly agreed, and Liu Xuer went over and said with a smile: "What is the aunt doing? Oh, don't be busy, our two juniors are just here! Why are you still making tea?"

    "It's nothing! You must drink tea when you come!" Liu Changqi said with a smile, and then said to Shi Cheng: "I have heard your husband say it! Jins of rabbit hair, I also started to prepare."

    Shi Cheng hurriedly asked: "Is there no big problem? Because that is a northeastern businessman, the weather in the northeastern part of the family starts to get cold in September, and winter begins in October. They are going to arrive. I went back before the end of October, otherwise it would be hard to go on the road when it snows, so I urged us to hurry."

    Liu Changqi nodded: "It shouldn't be a problem, I can get it together, I've been busy with this in the past few days, and I can send it to the workshop in three or two days!"

      .

      South location, clean up is also very clean.

      In the middle is a large wooden table with thin mats on it, which is the work table for shearing rabbit fur. Nowadays, there are many rabbit hairs that have been cut in the place where the rabbit hair is dried. They have been rolled once with a hair stick and are extremely clean.

    He went back to the main house where he lived. Shicheng was talking to Liu Changqi here, and Liu Xuer went to help the aunt to cook. Zhao gave Liu Changqi a son and a son. Female, the boy is three years old, and the girl is only one year old. One is walking around at her feet, and the other is still sleeping on the kang.

    Liu Xuer and Mrs Zhao were cooking and chatting, and it could be seen that the uncle and his family were already living a good life. Satisfied, very satisfied with the present day.

    After the two had eaten here, they said goodbye and went back. Liu Changqi told them to wait for a while and ran to the yard where the rabbits were raised. After a while, they brought two dead robes. !

                             Once it's done, I'll send it to your father and your fourth uncle, just as you guys are here, I'll be lazy, you can go back and get it yourself, I won't have time to cut the rabbit's fur."

    Shi Cheng and Liu Xuer were taken aback, Liu Xuer hurriedly said: "This, this... Uncle, you should keep it for yourself..."

    Liu Changqi smiled and said, "What should I keep and clean up?! I don't have time! Besides, if I eat it for myself, I won't buy it. Why do I buy this? There are people in the village every year. If you can wear a robe, you can always eat!"

    Shi Cheng touched his chin and smiled: "Then we are welcome, uncle! Thank you!"

    Liu Xuer glanced at him in surprise, but he agreed! Shi Cheng approached her with a smile and said, "This robe is the best roasted meat! Let's go back and eat the roasted meat."

    Liu Xuer 'puchi' smiled and shook her head.

    Liu Changqi laughed loudly: "Yes! Baked is the best!" Then, together with Shicheng, they put the two robes on the car outside.

    The two thanked them and got into the car, and then went to the city. Shi Cheng smiled and asked Liu Xuer, "Have you ever eaten robes?"

    Liu Xuer asked: "Have you eaten?"

    Shi Cheng laughed: "I have really eaten it... In a restaurant in Hanzhongfu, it was also a treat for people at that time, roasting robe meat. At that time I wanted to bring you something back, but there were too many people. Nothing left..."

     Catkin smiled.

    Shi Cheng turned to look at her while driving the car, and asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?"

    After a pause, Liu Xuer smiled and said, "It's nothing... I'm quite satisfied. Today's life is quite satisfying."

    Shi Cheng also laughed, reached out and grabbed her hand, put it on his lips and kissed: "Is this satisfied? No, at least there must be three or five children around, running around and playing in groups."

    Liu Xuer sneered, did not speak, just leaned on the cushion in the car, looked at him with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and then leaned on his back after a while, closed her eyes and rested. Shi Cheng straightened his waist to support her, glanced sideways from time to time, and drove the car back.

    Back to the city, put a robe at home, Mori hadn't seen the whole robe, and was really surprised, while Liu Changgeng was overjoyed, rolled up his sleeves and called Liu Sen Help him clean up, peel and eat barbecue tonight!

    Here, Liu Xuer called someone to find Liu Shu, Liu Lin, and Liu Tao to come back and help!

    Shicheng alone sent another robe to the fourth uncle Liu Changshi. When I entered the alley, I heard the sound of beating. The yard on the fourth uncle's side was being expanded, and it was still a big project. The yard next door was repaired first, and then the yard wall was opened up, and finally repaired.

    Most of the yard over there is a garden, because there are few people here and the yard is enough for the fourth uncle, so there is a garden there, where you can play and hang out.

    Shicheng's car stopped at the door, and the servants had already stepped forward to hold the horse, helped to move things down, and followed Shicheng into the yard. Someone had already reported it, and Liu Changshi had already Hearing the news came out, and seeing the servants carrying a robe and following Shicheng in, he was also startled and laughed and shouted, "Aiya! Where did you get such a big guy?!"

    Shi Cheng smiled and said: "I went back to the village, the uncle gave me two, there is one big hunter in the village. Give me one."

    He Ruyu also came out of the room after hearing the news, and was also startled when she saw it: "This...how can I fix this? This...this is complete..."

    Liu Changshi ran over and walked around the robe, smiled and said, "This guy's meat is delicious...but it's really hard to clean up, he hasn't peeled it yet!" He raised his head and asked Shicheng: "Your husband-in-law How to clean up?"

    Shi Cheng laughed: "How can I clean it up? I just told my brothers and sisters to go back, peel and clean up."

    Liu Pu and Liu You heard the movement and ran out early, seeing Shi Cheng first calling: "Third brother-in-law!" Then the two of them surrounded the dead robe and wailed.

    Liu Li also came out, and she was a little timid, but in the end, she was young, and curiosity outweighed her timidity, so she followed the young Liupu Liuyou around the robe.

    He Ruyu came over, her eyes were wide open, she turned to look at Liu Changshi: "His father... We can't eat such a big one, we should give another half to the second brother's house... How many are we? People? The second brother has a lot of family."

    Liu Changshi touched his chin and pondered, Shicheng put it down and was about to leave, Liu Changshi had already smiled and held it back: "Wait wait... so what, since your stall over there is already Spread it out, why don't we pack it all over there! No need to divide it, we can all eat there... We have no place here!"

    Shi Cheng sneered: "That's fine too."

    He Ruyu laughed here and pushed Liu Changshi, Liu Changshi smiled and turned to look at her and said, "What are you doing... I will definitely help! At most, let's eat less. !"

    He Ruyu couldn't smile even more, and wanted to hit him, but Shicheng, this junior, was still in front of him, so he quickly stopped.

    Here, Liu Changshi asked the servants to carry the robes and put them back into the car. Liupu Liuyou didn't know why, so they all shouted anxiously and chased after him. Even the introverted Liu Li couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Why don't you give it to us? We... Isn't that ours?" and ran after him.

    Liu Changshi laughed, turned around and called He Ruyu to slowly pack up, then he went straight out the door, took the children and Shi Cheng, Yuan came to Liu Changgeng in a carriage again here.

    When they came back, Liu Shu, Liu Lin, and Liu Tao were all called back, and Liu Tao went to pick up Xiu Xiu. At this moment, the house was lively as if it was Chinese New Year. The man found a suitable place in the kitchen in the backyard, moved a wooden table, put two robes on the table, and started to peel the skin with a knife.

    Women prepare stoves, iron forks, iron sticks, iron wire masks, silver basins and other objects that should be barbecued.

    Liu Tao was sent to pick up his parents again. It’s not good to pull Liu Changqi and his wife down. Tomorrow they'll all go down and help cut the rabbit's fur!

    Liu Tao was naturally happy, and took Xiuxiu to Peach Blossom Village to pick up Liu Changqi and the others.

    When it was dark, the family was all together, and Liu Changqi and his wife and two children also picked up from the countryside. Divided into four or five rooms, each room is a stove, a whole set of iron forks, iron sticks, iron wire coverings, etc., each of them warmed the wine and drank and talked.

    In the upper house, the three brothers Liu Changgeng accompany the old man Liu, and in the left wing, the He family and other daughters-in-law accompany the Liu Gao family.

     Willow and the others are not divided into men and women, they live in the same room, but there are a lot of people. There are two stoves in the room, with iron wire hoods on them, and all the dressed meat is in the room. Put it in the pot, each take their own, come over and bake it on top of the wire hood, watch it for yourself, and don't blame others if it burns. There are also two or three pots of stewed bones, which can be eaten by anyone who wants to eat them. There is also a large bowl of meat and bone soup with some green vegetables.

    Song Yao sat on a chair with a big belly and waited comfortably for Liu Lin to bake it for her. There was a bowl full of soup on the table next to her. Drink slowly.

    Shao Rong is more delicate, pursed her lips and smiled and sat in the distance, with a bowl in front of her, there was also soup and vegetables, and a bowl dedicated to barbecue, the willow will be given to her when it is baked Take it, pick it from the iron stick with chopsticks and put it in a bowl before giving it to her. Shao Rong ate by himself and fed his son some soup by the way.

    Xiu Xiu and Liu Xu'er gathered around the stove and grilled the meat by themselves. Xiuxiu saw Shao Rong's way of eating, and she also commented: "Sister-in-law, if you eat barbecue like that, there will be no taste. It's better to eat it like this!"

    Everyone laughed, Liu Tao smiled and did not speak. Seeing a small handkerchief sticking out of Xiuxiu's sleeve, he took it out and wiped the seasoning on her face.

    Liu Xuer was sitting by the fire, holding two skewers of meat in her hands and roasting elegantly, her face was flushed red, when she heard Xiuxiu's words, everyone laughed, only she nodded seriously: " What are you laughing at? What Xiuxiu said is true! Sister-in-law, eating barbecue meat is just like a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of wine! That's refreshing!" Then, seeing that a string in his hand was already roasted, he picked it up and bit it Taking a sip, he turned his head and called, "Wine!"

    Shi Cheng sat next to her, holding a dozen skewers of meat, tendons, etc. On the other side of him is a large wooden wine cellar with dragon and phoenix play beads pattern embossed with vermilion and black lacquer. The lid is open, and a bamboo wine scoop hangs on the edge. Next to the wine cell is a small table. On the table is a small The copper heater has a stuffy silver frosted charcoal underneath, and a copper pot sits on it, and wine is warmed in the copper pot.

    Such a set of copper stoves and wine jugs, also beside the willow tree and willow forest, also warm the wine.

    Hearing Liu Xuer's cry, Shicheng immediately put the meat skewer in his hand on the wire hood, and poured the wine from the copper pot into a small white porcelain with iris pattern on the table. In the wine glass, he first tasted whether it was hot, and then brought it to Liu Xuer's mouth. Liu Xuer drank it with his hand, and then ate two skewers that he baked.

    Shi Cheng's hand was baked, and most of it was put into her mouth. When she was full, Shi Cheng would have time to start eating meat and drinking, but Liu Xuer also felt sorry for him. He was almost done eating, and he didn't think it was too hot to sit and didn't move, so he cooked a few skewers, and by the way, he was going to give two skewers to Moriko next to him.

    Shao Rong looked at the couple from here and couldn't stop laughing. Liu Shu came over to put the roasted meat in her bowl again, looked up at her constantly as he pinched it down, couldn't help but smile and asked, "What are you laughing at all the time?"

    Shao Rong pointed at Liu Xuer and Shi Cheng, leaned closer to the willow tree and said with a smile: "Look at those two... Shi Cheng gave his wife a drink, but it was not ambiguous at all! How old are you, don't worry..."

    Liu Shu pondered for a while before she understood, smiled and shook her head: "As long as her mother-in-law is not in a hurry, we don't have to worry about it, it's better to be alive when you are older."

    Shao Rong smiled and pushed him, whispering: "Then I was born early?"

     Willow smiled and whispered: "We are different, I am the boss!"

    "Isn't Shicheng also the boss?!" Shao Rong immediately asked back.

    Liu Shu was accidentally asked, and laughed 'puchi': "Are you full? Now you are very energetic, why are you arguing with me? I haven't eaten yet... No You." He turned around and went to bake for himself.

      . And for these children, I will give Liu Sen a bunch of them by the way. You and I will have a bunch. Liu Sen can't eat it without roasting it at all.

      The two fought. After a while, the two began to babble. The women couldn't help but be attracted to look at them and laugh for a while.

    The next day, Liu Changqi woke up shouting 'it's not good, it's not good', and hurriedly wanted to take his wife back to the countryside, those rabbit hairs hadn't been cut yet!

    The willow feldspar, who said yesterday that she wanted to help cut it together, also followed, took care of the preparations, and went back to help. Now there is not much life in the field.

    The women also got up one after another, and after hearing this, they discussed it together, why don't they all go back and cut the rabbit's fur! Although it may be possible to invite someone, but now it is obviously over to find someone, anyway, everyone is free to be fine.

    We discussed and discussed, and in the end, everyone went back! He also took half of the robes that had been prepared and marinated them, and prepared to move to Peach Blossom Village for barbecue at night.

    Xiuxiu was so greedy when she thought of the wild vegetables growing in the countryside, she discussed with Liu Xuer that she could fry the wild vegetables when she went back. Liu Xuer thought that she hadn't eaten for a long time, and she really wanted to eat it.

    So early in the day, the whole family packed up and took four or five cars to Peach Blossom Village. When I arrived at Liu Changqi's side, I divided the labor, catching rabbits, catching rabbits, shearing, and finishing.

      I couldn't work anymore, so I sat in the distance, serving tea and water to the workers.

      After the hair was cut, most of it was cool, and some were dirty, so I loosened the shackles with iron shackles and put them aside.

    In the evening, everyone is eating barbecue and drinking here again, because many people are thinking about the wild vegetables in the countryside, and they specially send people to pick them up during the day, wash them and fry them when they come back. eat more.

    I slept here all night, and then went back to the city on the third day, and then went home. Although I have eaten twice, there is still a lot of meat in the remaining robes, all of which are kept by Liu Changgeng, Mr. He smiled and said when everyone was leaving: "The rest of the meat is all marinated, and I will come back during the New Year. eat!"

    Shi Cheng was also taken aback. Although the two tried their best to pay attention, the current method is not as effective as in the future. Fortunately, I wasn't pregnant, I just ate too many indigestible things. I have to eat some light food in the past two days to clear my stomach.

    Shicheng is called kitchen stew, and all kinds of soup are stewed and drunk.

    The catkins drank pigeon soup the first day, and the next day, when she saw the maid came in with the soup, she asked, "What kind of soup is today?"

    Without waiting for the maid to report, Shi Cheng had already gone over to bring the soup: "Chicken soup! I ordered it."

    Liu Xuer leaned on the cushion and looked at him angrily and funny: "The doctor said that I was eating and drinking nonsense... Keke, you need to clear your stomach these days, but you What kind of chicken soup and pigeon soup did you make for me... Still not greasy enough?!"

    Shi Cheng sat beside the bed, scooped a spoonful and brought it to her mouth, smiled and said, "The soup is already bland... It's all soup and nothing big, isn't it bland? You can't overcorrect, and you can't be too ruthless, and you will break your body."

    Liu Xuer drank it and felt that the chicken soup was really delicious, she narrowed her eyes comfortably.

    Shi Cheng knew from her appearance that she liked to drink, smiled and leaned closer, carefully continued to feed her, and said softly: "Xu'er?"

    "Huh?"

    "After a while, shall we stop drinking?"

    Liu Xuer opened her eyes and looked at him with a pursed mouth and a smile: "What do you want to say?"

    Shicheng also laughed: "You should know."

    Liu Xuer smiled and nodded: "Okay... I guess my parents should be anxious, and if they delay, they may be urged." Then she took another sip.

    Shicheng smiled, fed her the soup in the bowl, put the empty bowl aside, came over and sat next to her, hugged her, and kissed her tightly...

    There was a sudden sound of thunder outside, and soon, raindrops fell from the sky, and the raindrops hit the eaves outside, making a 'crackling' sound, this is actually the northwest The rare autumn rain here indicates that the earth will not be so dry this year and tomorrow.

    …
