The Landlord And His Wife

    Everyone who was talking in the kitchen closed their mouths at once, and Mrs. He and Liu Hong glanced at each other. Mrs. He just wiped her hand on the apron and was about to go out to have a look . Liu Xuer, who was choosing vegetables outside, had already stood up and walked towards the door. When she walked to the door, she only saw Liu Tao as if she was running in the courtyard, but she had not seen Liu Yuner and Ma Shi.

    She was worried that Liu Yuner would secretly provoke Moriko while people were busy, and called out, "Moriko? Big brother? Big brother!"

    The willow tree is under the tree over there, and Moriko is beside him, lying on the ground catching insects, when she hears her calling the willow tree to look up, and sees Liu Tao here, and understands , waved his hand to indicate that he would not leave Senzi, and Liu Xuer was relieved and came in again.

    He and Liu Hong both shook their heads and didn't speak, mainly because it was hard to say anything. When the door was dark, Liu Gao walked in and said with a smile: "Your elder brother is here too, took these things."

                                           It's almost there." Liu Gao looked at the materials on the chopping board that had been washed and ready to be cut.

    Liu Hong said, "Won't my sister-in-law come to help?"

    Liu Gao first gave her a blank look: "Don't be so tricky when you arrive at your in-law's house!" Then she said to He: "The eldest daughter-in-law didn't come, the eldest only brought Liu Tao... he I also want to have a good Mid-Autumn Festival! It's noisy again, what are you planning?"

    He couldn't say anything, he just nodded and smiled, Liu Gao looked at it, and there was nothing she could help, so he went out again, so He and Liu Hong Prepare meals while chatting in the kitchen.

    Liu Lin went to the grocery store in the village to make wine, and the kitchen made the dishes first. The chicken was already cooked, so he disassembled half of the chicken and put it on a plate, and the other half was still stewed in soup. The two of them quickly fried a few dishes and mixed two cold dishes. Mr. He brought it over, and the men ate it first.

    The courtyard suddenly became noisy. It turned out that Yuan Hao wanted to leave. , Liu Xuer stretched out her head and glanced, seeing Yuan Hao blushing, just as red as the aunt's face in the kitchen at this moment.

    Liu Xuer almost laughed, and then saw Liu Changgeng coming, and the two dragged Yuan Hao into the house. In the kitchen, Mrs He laughed for a while, and Liu Hong blushed and went about her job without saying a word.

    Because there are chickens and fish today, and it's a festival, Mr. He kneads his face and wakes up. Liu Gao's table is already set up, and the remaining half of the chicken is scooped out. One child also scooped half a bowl of chicken soup for the first, and the fish was divided into one. Mr. He and Liu Hong fried two of the children's favorite dishes, brought out the egg custard, and told the children to eat, and came over to gather around Eating together at the table.

    Liu Tao inadvertently called Liu Xuer a 'prodigal girl' when he was eating. Ever since his mother told him that Liu Xuer was a 'prodigal girl', he always remembered it, thinking that It should be called like this, but when Liu Gao heard it, he scolded him with a black face, and he was not allowed to call again in the future. Liu Tao also muttered aggrievedly: "My mother and my sister both said she was..."

    "What is it?!" Liu Gao scolded again, and Liu Tao did not dare to speak. Liu Hong coaxed and said, "You can't call it that, it's your sister!" You see, Xu'er is two months younger than you, why is she so sensible? Both of your brothers have gone to school to read, so you should be more sensible...

    And so on. Liu Tao seems to understand but does not understand, anyway, he just doesn't provoke Liu Xu'er, he takes care of himself. Although Liu Gao scolded him, he still put meat and vegetables in his bowl.

    What was said at the dinner table was that Liu Xuer's family was doing business, but everyone didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and they didn't say much, just talked about it, Liu Gao's family took the willow exam A few words with Liu Lin, Liu Gao was very happy to see that the two could quickly write them on the table, and they could often bring out four-character idioms or allusions when they spoke.

    He's illiterate, and she doesn't know how much her two children have learned. Watching her mother-in-law at the dinner table, the two children can say anything. She feels fortunately that she was cruel at that time. Get both kids to go to school! Look, now even his milk can't pass the test!

    The men were drinking and the women were chatting, until the chicken was eaten and the fish was left with bones. Only then did He and Liu Hong get up and go to the kitchen to prepare. After kneading the dough very vigorously, he asked Liu Changgeng to come over and put the dough into the bed. Liu Changgeng grabbed the iron and pressed it down to the end.

    A pot of noodles came out, and there was already soup in the pot. The noodles can be eaten cold or in soup. The diced meat, diced meat, and diced vegetables were fried, then poured in water, adjusted with salt, cornel powder, and a red pot of soup.

      For two bowls of rice, all you need is salt and a lot of chili peppers (that is, the end of dogwood)!

      Brother Qi crossed their shoulders and walked forward, whispering something, and Liu Gao shouted loudly that Liu Changqi was optimistic about Liu Tao!

    Liu Changshi and Yuan Hao are also talking about something here, Yuan Hao is obviously absent-minded, keeps scratching his head, looking back, of course Liu Hong will not come out, he can only sigh , I think there are still two months...

    He hugged the yawning Moriko, and kept turning around to call out the old man Liu and Liu Gao to go back: "Go back! Father, mother, go back!"

    At the gate of the courtyard, they were polite to each other for a long time, and then they went back to their respective homes.

    The road was dark, Willow was afraid that Willow and Catkin would go into the ditch and told them to walk inside. Liu Changgeng hugged Senzi and whispered to Mrs He, "It looks like I can't move to the city..."

    "Why? Wasn't the shouting very fierce at the beginning of the year? Do you think my family delayed them?"

    Liu Changgeng sighed and said, "Big brother drank a lot, talked a lot... In fact, he doesn't have much money, even if he moved to the city, he would buy a house. Not enough! Then there is no money in hand, so what can I eat and drink? It is inconvenient to move to the city to farm... The elder sister-in-law shouted fiercely, and she was jealous when the third child moved."

    Liu Changgeng shook his head and sighed.

    "The third child... there must be an explanation, right? I won't come back after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I won't come back for the New Year... What do you want? You don't recognize your parents?"

      Even if he doesn't give it, his parents won't be hungry. It's just to see when the parents can't bear it anymore. Find him and see What is he talking about?"

    "Then you can't talk?"

    "What do you say? You can't even say this to your parents. I'm afraid your parents will think we don't want to support them either... This is what your parents said. We are a few of us, who would be embarrassed to turn this Talking? Make this idle?"

    He shook his head and sighed.

    Liu Xuer saw Shicheng the next day, Shicheng told her that after his parents had negotiated, he still lived in the country, and after giving birth to a child, he said: "There is no one living in the city for a long time, and the kang has to be burned. , there might still be a musty smell in the house, we have to clean it up together, or spend the New Year warmly in the countryside, let’s talk about having a baby.”

    Liu Xuer listened and nodded and said: "Yes, even if the big house is cleaned, it is best to hang it to dry." He asked him again: "How is your shop?"

    "Very good, the sales have been good in the past few months... Your counter is missing a lot of gadgets this time, and it looks empty. It is estimated that there was a sale on the Mid-Autumn Festival yesterday, and the cabinets were all empty. ." Shicheng asked: "Is it impossible to do it?"

    Liu Xuer nodded: "Yeah, I can't do it a bit, especially during the period from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have already done nothing, just do it every day. "

    Shi Cheng said: "After the Mid-autumn Festival, it may be a little lighter, so do it slowly during this time, don't damage your eyes."

    The two were talking at the door of Shicheng's house. Shicheng's mother saw it in the house and came out to greet Liu Xu'er. Seeing Liu Xu'er wearing lotus-colored clothes, she smiled and praised: "Xu'er wears this clothes really well. Beautiful." He asked her to go in and gave her two moon cakes.

    Shi Chengniang's belly can already be seen. Liu Xuer came out, and Shi Cheng ran out from behind, shouting to his mother behind him, "I'll go find Liushu and Liulin to play for a while!"

    After three days of Mid-Autumn Festival, Liushu, Liulin, and Shicheng returned to the city, but this time they returned after half a month, because the autumn harvest began.

    Although Shicheng's land does not need to be harvested by him, he also has a holiday, because the husband still has land in the Peach Blossom Village, and the husband must keep an eye on the autumn harvest of his own land.

    This time I brought back more than 3,000 texts. Willow also said that the counter is basically empty. sold out. But even if it is sold out, there is no time for embroidery work, so I have to work on the autumn harvest first.

    The old Liu family is still negotiating well. Liu Changqi and Liu Changshi go to the landlord's house in Xia to finish the work. Call two people over to help. The autumn crops were harvested from Shu millet. They were not as tired as summer crops, so they kept bending over, and this time Liu Laohan and Liu Changgeng also paid attention to it. They didn’t ask Liushu and Liulin to dry for too long. If they worked for two hours, they would have to rest for half an hour. , the two babies did not get sick this time.

      A blue and white cloth scarf, and went to the field with my father, mother and brother.
