continuation [farming]

The one surnamed Xue waved his hand, and actually left just like that. The remaining village chief was still pulling Li Xiang'er, who was stunned on the spot when he heard this.But Li Xiang'er was the only happy one here, she stood up immediately, patted the dirt on her body, and she couldn't see how embarrassed she was just now.

When the village chief came back to his senses, Mr. Xue had already gone far.

A good opportunity was spoiled by his daughter, the village chief suddenly became angry, raised his eyebrows, and raised his hand to slap his daughter: "How did I give birth to you! Daddy raised you so big!" , don’t you even listen to someone I pick for you!”

Li Xiang'er screamed in fright, and hurriedly hid behind Mrs. Li.

Only then did Mrs. Li say: "Tongcai, stop."

The name of the village chief is Li Tongcai, but since he became the village chief, few people call him that.When he was stopped by Mrs. Li, he hesitated for a moment, but thought that even though he was the head of Anle Village, the old lady in front of him was the real direct descendant of the Li family. Li Tongcai's power was still controlled by the clan, so he withdrew it. She raised her hands, called her sister-in-law, and said: "This important marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. She..."

"Tongcai." Before Li Tongcai finished speaking, Mrs. Li called him again, interrupting his speech, "Xiang'er is right, our daughters of the Li family are good children, for no reason, how can I You still want to send someone to be a concubine, what are you doing to our Li family's face?"

Mrs. Li spoke a little harshly, but she was reasonable.The status of concubines in the Min Dynasty is quite low, they are considered half slaves, only better than domestic servants, whether they can be included in the family tree of the husband's family is a matter of opinion, but anyone who can eat well does not need to sell their daughters for living money Families in China rarely send their daughters to be concubines.Li Tongcai shrank his neck. He also knew in his heart that he was discrediting the Li family by giving away his daughter as a concubine. He originally wanted to climb up the big tree of the Xue family before others knew about it, so that the people in the clan could find out. Afterwards, she was afraid of the Xue family, so how could she dare to say anything to herself.

He couldn't say no to Mrs. Li, so he had to give Li Xiang'er who was still hiding behind Mrs. Li a look.

Li Xiang'er seemed terribly frightened, and being stared at by Li Tongcai made her scalp tense even more.Fearing that she would be beaten to death after returning home, she said to Mrs. Li in a tearful voice, "Mother, please take me in for a few days, and I will be your cow and horse."

Xia He had time to think, at this moment she knew that Mrs. Li was calling her aunt, so why did she forget that she should call her sister-in-law?

"Forget it, Tong Cai, you go back and think about it, Xiang'er will stay at my house for the next two days." Mrs. Li sighed, and said to Xia He, "See off the guests."

Xia He stopped watching the play, took two steps forward, and said to the village chief: "Village chief, mother is not in good health, she has to go back to rest, please go back."

Li Tongcai gave him a gouged look, but Xia He didn't feel relieved, and looked at Li Tongcai calmly, watching him step out of the threshold of his house, and immediately closed the door.

After such a short effort, when he returned to Mrs. Li, he saw that Li Xiang'er had already tidied up, and he couldn't hide his smile. He really couldn't tell that it was the person who shrank like a bunny just now.

Xia He thought in his heart, but without showing face, he asked: "Mother, is the food cold, do you want to warm it up?"

Before Mrs. Li could answer, Li Xiang'er hurriedly said: "I'll do it!" Then she stabbed, "I remember Aunt Lin's handicrafts are very delicate, this looks...it doesn't look like Aunt Lin's. Right?" As she spoke, she glanced at Xia He.

Xia He nodded and said: "I did it, I wronged you to eat this rough food."

Xia He suddenly remembered that Lan Niang had complained to him about the weird attitude of the village chief's family on the day he got married, and coupled with Li Xianger's inexplicable hostility towards him, Xia He felt coldly that this person might really have intentions for Li Mu. Treat yourself and your second sister Qiuyue as enemies.

Thinking about it this way, Xia He doesn't mind maliciously speculating about Li Xiang'er, why did she insist on staying?Could it be because tomorrow is Li Muxun's rest day again?

But Li Xiang'er said: "Don't mind, I didn't know you did it. It's just that the aunt is getting older, so it's better to eat finer food..."

"I think Xia He did a good job." Mrs. Li seemed to really like Xia He's craftsmanship, boasting.

Xia He didn't bother to talk to Li Xiang'er, picked up a few dishes and planned to go back to the pot.

His skill at serving dishes has always been scary, he could hold three between his arms, and he even held one in each hand. He even surprised Li Mu on the morning of the second wedding day.Now that the Li family is used to his method, they feel that it is easy to save trouble, and they don't have to run to the kitchen every time.It was the first time Li Xiang'er saw it, and she exclaimed again: "Ah, be careful! What if you fall, I remember that this set of dishes is only sold in the town!"

Xia He walked away with the plate slowly, Li Xiang'er used the excuse of being worried and chased after her, but saw Xia He delivered everything safely, without any incident, it was a pity.

She was about to follow into the kitchen, but was stopped by someone.

It wasn't Xia He, but Aunt Lin.

Li Xiang'er hadn't seen Aunt Lin for a while, so she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Lin, you are here, why don't you go ahead and have dinner with Madam?"

Aunt Lin said: "I feel a little unwell today, I ate by myself." The door was still blocked.

Xia He behind her didn't care about the two of them, she had already cleaned the pot, put the vegetables on the plate into the pot, poured some water, covered the pot, and returned to the pot to heat up for a while.Estimating the time, Xia He opened the lid of the pot, and the fragrance of vegetables wafted out.

Li Xiang'er was chasing Aunt Lin over there: "If Aunt Lin is not feeling well, go back and rest. Here in the Li family, I will help him."

"How can this be possible? How can you ask guests to cook?" Aunt Lin frowned, "This is against the rules."

Li Xiang'er smiled apologetically: "People in our village are small and small, how can there be so many rules. Besides, I'm not an outsider."

Aunt Lin's mood was unstable today, but at this moment, as if she had been poked into a sore spot, she suddenly raised her voice and said: "Your family is a small family, but the master is going to be a high-ranking official!"

No one in Anle Village has heard of Aunt Lin, the crazy woman taken in by the Li family, but Li Xiang'er has never seen her go crazy.Seeing Aunt Lin's appearance at this time, Li Xiang'er was a little scared, so she could only respond in a low voice: "Brother Mu is going to be a high-ranking official... I was wrong, I was just worried about him, bringing so many dishes here, in case What do you do if you fall?"

Aunt Lin snorted, she had also seen Xia He's skill in holding a plate, she could go to the town to perform juggling, how could she fall.

During the time between the two of them going back and forth, Xia He finished heating up the dishes and was about to bring them back again.Seeing that Aunt Lin and Li Xiang'er were still blocking the door, he pouted and said, "Aunt Lin, let me go, mother is still hungry."

Aunt Lin heard the words, she walked away from the door, let Xia He wipe Li Xiang'er out of the kitchen, and rushed back to Mrs. Li.

Li Xiang'er had no choice but to follow quickly.

There was still some distance from Mrs. Li when the two of them heard the cry of the baby.Xia He calculated, Jin Bao should not be hungry at this point, he must have urinated, hurry up and catch up with two steps.

But Li Xiang'er just remembered the child left behind by Qiuyue, and she was actually disliked in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.She hurried over, before entering the room, she said: "Ah, this child is probably hungry, don't be tired, ma'am, I'll feed you."

With that said, she bypassed Xia He who was still arranging the plates, and picked up Jin Bao.

It turned out that Jin Bao's diaper was not tightly wrapped, and when she copied it, the diaper half fell off, and half of it was exposed from the crotch, and spilled some boy's urine on Li Xiang'er's clothes.

Li Xiang'er was stunned, her pretty face contorted, not knowing what to say or do.

Xia He skillfully brought Jin Bao over, coaxed him a few times, and even kissed him on the forehead: "Jin Bao is good, Auntie will take you to change diapers." She glanced at Li Xiang'er again, and said yes, "There is a gentleman in my place." I haven't worn the new clothes I bought, let's go and change them together."

After all, he glanced at Mrs. Li inquiringly.

Mrs. Li nodded and said: "Xia He, take Xiang'er to go. ——Oh, yes, I almost forgot, I'm afraid it will be too late to clean up the house, Xia He, please ask Xiang'er to stay with you tonight. Go sleep with Mu'er first, and clean up her guest room tomorrow."

Xia He nodded, motioning for Li Xiang'er to follow him.

Li Xiang'er was well-raised in her family, and she was the youngest in the family. Like Xia He before she got married, she never had a child.Suddenly, Jin Bao urinated all over her body, she only cared about complaining in her heart, this little baby's mother didn't deal with her, and this baby was also mischievous.When she heard that she could change clothes, she followed immediately.

After changing her clothes, Li Xiang'er realized, why Xia He and Li Mu didn't sleep in the same room?

She has also heard that in those big families with wives and concubines, the male master does not live with his wife. It's just that Anle Village is just a village no matter how rich it is. She didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in this village.She wondered to herself, does this mean that Li Mu didn't like Xia He at all, but married him because of old lady Li's face?

Li Xiang'er was secretly happy, but she pretended to ask, "Why don't you live with Brother Mu from the Li family?"

Xia He was a little puzzled: "There are so many yards at home, why do they have to be crowded together? Besides, my husband still has to study."

Li Xiang'er thought in her heart that Qiuyue's younger sister, who usually looks like a boy, may be despised by Brother Mu without knowing it, but she is also a poor person.

She thought happily, and slept soundly that night. She just waited for Fourth Uncle Li to go to the academy the next day to bring Li Mu back.

Li Xiang'er woke up early the next day, intending to tidy up and dress up, but seeing that Xia He's makeup mirror was clean, and her daughter's rouge and gouache were gone, she couldn't help frowning.I had no choice but to toss on my hair, changing the style of several buns, and finally I was satisfied, which has been delayed for quite a while.

Thinking that Li Mu should be back, Li Xianger hurried out, but it was a coincidence that she bumped into Li Mu.

Li Xianger said in surprise, "Brother Mu!"

Li Mu was taken aback, and hurriedly backed away to let the clan sister who was over seventeen pounce on him, frowning and asked, "Xiang'er? Why are you here? Where's Xia He?"
