The Landlord And His Wife

    Liu Xuer carefully made a necklace with red silk thread, and put on the longevity lock. On the 14th day of the eighth lunar month, the whole family came to Qianzhuang Village, the family home of the He family.

      He's eldest brother and sister took the longevity lock bought for her son, and thanked her embarrassedly.

    Liu Xuer took advantage of everyone talking, and pulled Aunt He Ruyu out: "Auntie, last time my mother asked you to make some clothes for me, are you ready?"

    He Ruyu smiled and said, "No, what are you doing with so much trouble as a little kid? Just wear new clothes!"

    Liu Xuer curled her lips and said: "It must be delayed, I never met you again in the city! Auntie, is it okay?"

    He Ruyu looked at her strangely and smiled and said: "Of course it's nothing, my aunt doesn't go often, why do you ask that? Do you often go to the city?"

    Liu Xuer hurriedly said: "I have been there several times! During the last Doll's Festival, I was still living in the city! Auntie, guess who I met?" pretending to be mysterious .

    He Ruyu was looking at her sleeves, looking up at her with a smile: "Who?"

    "That hair three!"

    He Ruyu's complexion changed immediately, she raised her head suddenly and asked anxiously: "Why did you meet him, did you hide... Why don't you? He doesn't know you, right? People like that, hurry up and walk away..."

    Liu Xuer said indifferently: "Mao San was beaten! I was almost beaten to death by my fourth uncle!"

    He Ruyu was really stunned, and looked at her stunned: "So you and your fourth uncle are together? Why did your fourth uncle fight him?"

    Liu Xuer screamed: "I'm not with my fourth uncle! I was sent to the city by my father, living in Shicheng, and my two brothers, at night Shi Cheng and I ran out to play, and we met Mao San head-on! Shi Cheng just pulled me to hide, but my fourth uncle appeared out of nowhere and beat Mao San hard!"

    Then Liu Xuer was vivid and vivid, and even said the heroic deeds of the fourth uncle with gestures, especially when Mao San was thrown into the water. of vividness.

    If He Ruyu hadn't been surprised beyond words, he would have been amused by her and laughed. He just listened to her in a daze, blinking, blinking, and blushing for a while, and for a while, Shocked again.

    Liu Xuer pretended not to know anything, and after the lively teaching was over, she said to He Ruyu: "Auntie, now you don't have to be afraid, my fourth uncle will ruthlessly treat that bad guy for you. After a beating, that bad guy will never dare to bully you again!"

    He Ruyu suddenly blushed, pretended not to care, and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Your fourth uncle...why is it for me..."

    Liu Xuer is still a harmless child: "Why not just for you, my fourth uncle and Mao San don't know each other, what kind of hatred do you want to fight?" She saw He Ruyu Even though she was facing her own child, she lowered her head unnaturally, and her face turned blood red. After thinking about it, she understood, and she didn't dare to say too much, so she teased herself. 's new clothes: "Anyway... My fourth uncle is amazing!"

      long?"

      It's a little longer, just to let you wear it for two more years."

    Liu Xuer smiled and said: "It's so beautiful! The color is so bright... I'll go and show my mother!" She ran out of the house on He Ruyu's side, and then Sticking out his tongue, he hurriedly entered the main room again.

    When I came to the main house, Mrs. He and Liu Xuer's grandma saw it, and they stopped what they were saying, stopped Liu Xuer and looked at them, smiled and said they were good-looking, grandma said, Xu'er Dressed up like this, a little girl with powder.

      After saying that, in order to reassure her, she went to He Xiuxiu to play.

    After playing for a day, I guessed that Willow and Willow should be back in the afternoon, so I hurried back. Not long after we got home, Willow and Willow also came back.

    Liu Shu and Liu Lin have been outside for more than half a year, studying with their husband, and learning to do business. From their words to their actions, there are some subtle changes.

    In addition to a box of six moon cakes, the two also brought four tools: a saw, a chisel, a plane, and a box of ink fountains.

    Liu Changgeng was surprised when he saw these, and then saw that most of the tools were brand new, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Is this bought?" Just worth the money to buy it.

    Liu Lin hurriedly explained: "On the street next to us, a woodworking tool shop is closed, and the boss is going to open a shop in Hanzhong Mansion. Someone we know asked us if we wanted it. My brother and I both thought that my father only had a file and an axe, and it was not easy to make small pendants. What we use is that we can use it in the long run, so we asked Uncle Chen to buy it... When you and your mother went there the year before last, the tools hadn't been obtained yet, Uncle Chen was also in front of me, my brother and I thought Since I couldn't explain it well in person, I didn't say it..."

    Liu Changgeng hurriedly asked, "How much did it cost?" He touched the plane with love.

    "Two taels and three hundred wen, that's why you and my mother only got back more than 2,000 wen when you came this time. In fact, we earned more than 4,000 wen on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival."

    Liu Changgeng was taken aback again, this time because it was too cheap, if you buy it normally, it would take one or two to two taels for just a plane, he nodded hurriedly: "It's still... Good!" Although it is a lot of money, it is cheap!

    "But the ink bucket is old, and they said it was given to us." Liu Lin smiled and said, "The boss is in a hurry to clear the goods, and many things are half cheaper than usual. Dad, in the future we will If your business is doing well, you should also go to Hanzhong Mansion?!”

    Liu Changgeng smiled, nodded and agreed casually: "Okay!" He picked up the ink fountain and looked at it. The ink fountain was a small box with a kind of coiled thread on it like a paper kite. , fixed on the top of the ink fountain, when using this one roll, the thread on the top passes through the box and is stained with ink, so that people on both sides pull it and bounce it on the wood to be sawed. Saw crooked, save wood.

    In the past, when Mr. He was cooking, Liu Lin had to run to the kitchen once or twice to see what he was doing, but this night, he didn't go once, and was always with Liu Shu at the catkins In the house, whispering to discuss. Liu Sen has not seen the two older brothers for a long time. He was very excited to see them and kept following them around.

    On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family got up early in the morning, washed their hair, bathed and changed clothes. The dried mushrooms and a dozen eggs, he took Liu Xuer to the old house first, and helped Liu Hong prepare the evening reunion dinner. Liu Changgeng killed a **** here, washed it and carried it, and the family continued one after another. came to the old house.

    Just as the chicken was stewed, Yuan Hao came to give a gift. He brought a big rooster, two carp, and two feet. Yuan Hao also brought something that everyone knows in the countryside in the northwest, but it is very new and rarely seen.

    A set of glutinous rice noodle bed, but this is borrowed, his family does not have it, it is borrowed from his elder brother's house.

    People from Northwest China all know glutinous rice noodles. Making glutinous rice noodles requires a man's hands, mainly because the bed is too heavy, and women can't usually hold it.

    The old man Liu saw the great joy, and the happy beard was upturned, and he kept saying that he had been exposed to Yuan Hao, and he came to the kitchen where he rarely came, and asked to do He Shi and Liu Hong of the rice must knead their noodles vigorously! Otherwise, the glutinous rice noodles made will not taste good.

    The two agreed with a smile, and when the old man Liu went out, Mrs. He laughed in a low voice and joked with his sister-in-law: "You will be lucky in the future, you can eat glutinous rice noodles every day!"

    Liu Hong blushed and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about, this is borrowed from his eldest brother's house... Xu'er is here!" Nuzui.

      I don't have a choice of dishes for the dustpan, and I don't know when I will be busy with spending.

    Liu Hong naturally wanted to divert the topic. Of course she couldn't save face if she hadn't come through the door, so she smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, don't you worry about eating and drinking now? The family is all doing well, if I had known earlier..." Thinking that it was hard to say, so he stopped laughing.

    He said: "It's also good luck, who would have thought... If I didn't fall off my leg at that time, I couldn't be tossed by a few little babies, but I didn't expect that it would really be famous. ."

    Liu Hong smiled and said: "Xiao Xu'er is not fooling around, Xu'er has learned from her aunt... Isn't it, Xu'er?"

    The catkins who were choosing the vegetables nodded: "Yes!"

    Liu Hong said with a smile: "Xu'er is very promising now, and she still thinks about her grandfather and her milk! Her fourth uncle and I have both been stained... A month ago, he even pulled the cloth for us. The fourth brother kept talking about it, saying that he originally wanted to get the wages of the landlord Xia, so he would pull a piece of fabric for Xu'er, but instead he asked Xu'er to pull a piece of fabric for him first!"

    He said with a smile: "What's the matter! We are all a family, whoever can help, please help more!"

    While he was talking, he heard Liu Changshi calling out, "Brother, you're here!"

    The author has something to say: [The bed with rice noodles is divided into two parts, one part is a single long iron shelf, like a ladder, but much smaller, the length can be used in the countryside It is advisable to put it on a person's iron pot. At the right angle between the two adjacent ladders in the middle, two iron rods are used, which are very short, mainly for fixing.

    The other part is a complete set of circular iron pillars, the middle is empty, the bottom side of the cylinder is sealed, the top is neatly distributed, the cylinder is alive, and a piece is larger than the circular iron pillar There is a small iron sheet on the bed, and an iron rod on top of the iron sheet.

      up, and then the person grabbed the iron rod and pressed it down. (It's like the kind of pipe that pressed water when I was a child) The noodles were pressed out of the round hole below, all round, and fell into the pot. When the dough inside the cylinder is finished pressing, pick up the bed and place it in the pot. The noodles that stick to the bottom of the cylinder do not need to be stirred with chopsticks, and then break into the pot.

    The most important thing when kneading out the dough is the strength. 】
