continuation [farming]

Lan Niang came out with a big pot of noodle soup, and specially told Xia He to eat well, and there was still a whole day of tossing, and the bride had to hide behind the house. Stomach.When Xia He was growing up, she couldn't bear to be hungry.Thinking of this, Lan Niang felt a burst of reluctance in her heart when she saw Xia He gobbling it up.

Fortunately, Xia He did not marry far away, and will still live in the same village from now on.Besides, this is just a stopgap measure. After three years, the child who wears men's clothing will have to be brought back.Lan Niang comforted herself, she had endured it for 15 years, but it was just another three years.

The Li family specially invited a donkey cart to pick up the bride, which made the villagers envious.The brides of ordinary peasant families are married on foot, and having a whole set of brand-new red clothes is already very grand. Unexpectedly, the Li family's Xuxian even used a donkey cart, which is no worse than the posture when they married Qiuyue back then.People who watched the excitement waited near Zhang's house early, and some even chased the donkey cart all the way from Li's house to Zhang's house, panting and joking with the bridegroom officer who was driving the donkey cart.

Except when collecting rent every year, Li Mu doesn't like to hang out in the village. He usually spends his time studying hard at home, or goes to the town to find classmates to recite poems and make friends. In addition, Li Mu is different from Mrs. Li's amiable demeanor. Well, this person usually has no expression. There are not a few people in Anle Village who are afraid of Li Mu, and there are not many people who really go to make fun of him.

Li Mu didn't pay attention to anyone, but just drove the donkey cart and set foot on the road to welcome the bride again.

It was noon when they arrived at Zhang's house, and Zhang's family had already set up a banquet, and the banquet would begin only after the bride was picked up.Just after the busy season of farming, most of the villagers gathered here. They ate their fill here first, and in the evening, they had to go to Li's house for another meal.

Hearing the sound of the donkey cart, Lan Niang hurriedly snatched the bowl from Xia He's hand, and covered his face with the hijab that he had thrown aside.Xia He, who was originally holding a huge bowl of thick noodle soup, suddenly saw only a dazzling red patch in front of her eyes. She stretched out her hand in a daze, but Lan Niang grabbed her hand.

"Go, follow mother." Lan Niang said while pulling Xia He.

"Mother! I can't see!" Xia He stretched out one foot and retracted it, not daring to take a step.

Since Xia He is not used to walking blindfolded, she mumbled in the room for a while, and when Li Mu became impatient, she saw Lan Niang helping the bride out of the room, walking slowly and gently, look.Li Mu was taken aback. The Zhang family, like the people in the other villages, was a little afraid of his family. Therefore, Li Mu had never met Xia He. Most of his limited understanding of this little girl came from his deceased person. Occasionally, the older sister would complain with a smile on her face, saying that her little sister was always not like a daughter, and very naughty, but fortunately she was very filial, knowing that her parents were not in good health, she rushed to do the work in the field, Better than anyone in the family.

Therefore, before Li Mu came to pick him up, he had already made preparations to meet a strong woman who was five-year-old and three-faced, without a daughter.But I didn't expect Xiahe people to be small, and judging by the way they walk, they are also cute.

It's a pity that such a daughter was born into a stone girl.Li Mu sighed inwardly, without changing his appearance, he walked slowly to Lan Niang's side and took her over.

It wasn't until he touched Xia He's palm that Li Mu was sure that at least one thing, what Qiuyue said was true.This is a hand that works a lot, unlike his own, only with a thin callus where the pen is held.Also different from Qiuyue, most of the cocoons in her hands are on the two fingertips that need to be threaded.Xia He's hands are hard, and there is a thick layer of calluses on the tiger's mouth, which is obviously caused by frequent going to the ground.Li Mu looked at Xia He's height, which was less than his shoulders, and thinner than Pingting's Qiuyue, and he suddenly felt pity, and immediately corrected his attitude towards his new wife.Li Mu lost his father when he was young, and as he got older, he felt more and more fond of his son who wanted to support him but would not wait for his relatives. He respected Mrs. Li even more, and at the same time, he also valued those who understood the way of filial piety.Xia He is a young girl who grew up in a small village. She has never been educated to know how to be polite, but she knows how to take pity on her parents.

Thinking of this, Li Mu, who was originally quite dissatisfied with his mother's arrangements, put away the small thoughts in his heart, carefully helped Xia He into the donkey cart, and stared at the donkey leaning against the dilapidated wooden door reluctantly. The youngest daughter in the car looked at Zhang Shiyi and Lan Niang, bowed deeply, and drove to the other end of the village.

Until the donkey cart was no longer visible, Lan Niang wiped away her tears with the corner of her clothes, then she turned her head and heard an unfriendly voice saying, "Hey, are we late? Mu'er has taken the bride away .”

Lan Niang glanced at it, and saw that the person who came was from the village chief's family, followed by her daughter, who was as old as Qiuyue, but she had never been married until now.

It stands to reason that the village head should sit at the head of all weddings and ceremonies in this village, but this time the village head didn't show up until noon, when the groom came to pick him up.If it weren't for the Zhang family's foundation in Anle Village, and Zhang Shixi's violent temper, he would have gone to the village chief to argue.At this time, seeing that the village head's family came late with their daughter, the husband and wife looked at each other. Lan Niang was about to answer, but the village head's family didn't wait for her to speak, and walked around the two of them, as if they were talking. My family entered the house so comfortably, greeted the villagers in the house, and finally spoke for the master's family: "The bride has been taken away, let's start the feast!"

Zhang Shiyi had a dirty face, and Lan Niang hurriedly grabbed him, smiled at the women who had been friends with him by the stove, and said, "Let's have a feast!"

After Lan Niang, the hostess, spoke, the women who came to help hurriedly put the steaming hot food in the pot on the table.The food was not very good, but there was enough meat and vegetables to keep. The men and women who had been busy for more than half a month sniffed the aroma, and ignored the weird attitude of the village chief's family, and started to eat.

However, the village chief dared to shame the Zhang family, and he could not decide whether he wanted to attend the Li family's banquet at night. , the status of the Li family in the village will always be higher than others.

The Li family's banquets are bigger than the Zhang family's, and there are many more people who come, but it's a pity that Xia He is the only one in the village who can't eat.After being taken to Li's house, Xia He was placed in his future residence.When the Li family built this house, there were sixteen people in the family. Now there are many vacant houses. This house has just been cleaned up. It has an independent small courtyard, and it is next to Li Mu's courtyard.Xia He pretended to be obedient and sat on the bed, and when the footsteps were far away, she hurriedly lifted the hijab and looked around the room.

It is more spacious than the two living places of Zhang Shixi and his wife. There are two large windows facing the bed. This room can be said to be the brightest room Xia He has ever seen.The roof is well-blocked, and the rain will not leak when it rains, and the quilt sitting under the buttocks is slippery, making people want to lie down on it.Xia He couldn't sit still anymore, she moved her butt, really wanted to take over her parents, no wonder they said that when the second sister got married, the second sister would have a good life in the future, the Li family lived really well.

I just don't know how to eat, it's really a good day to have delicious food!Xia He thought so, and his stomach growled again after eating two bowls of noodle soup.He was told not to leave the room at will, so he just sat there helplessly, waiting for the sun to set, and someone came to bring him food.

It's a pity that Mrs. Li was busy with the banquet ahead, Li Mu was caught by some classmates to drink, Xia He waited and waited, but no one could remember that he was still hungry.Until his stomach growled, Xia He reached into his chest and pulled out half of the steamed bun.After thinking for a while, he took another big piece from the other side, holding a piece of steamed bun in each of his left and right hands, and gnawed on it, as if he had a chicken leg with one hand and pork with the other.

Anyway, it's a big deal to get up early tomorrow morning and go to the kitchen to quietly get two steamed buns... Xia He comforted himself so much, seeing that it was getting dark and the burning red candle was about to burn to the end, he simply put the remaining The two steamed buns that had been hollowed out were taken out, stuffed into his mouth in twos and twos, wrapped himself in the quilt, and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Mu woke up in his own room, rubbing his temples that were bulging and throbbing from the hangover, only then did he think of the bride who seemed to have been left on the sidelines all night.

Although he didn't know how to treat his new wife, it stands to reason that the two should respect and love each other, but Mrs. Li told him not to touch her. I don't know if he behaved too intimately, would he What caused Xia He's resentment?

While thinking, Li Mu walked towards Xia He's room.There is only a corridor between the two courtyards, and it is just around the corner. Li Mu wanted to push the door and enter, but after thinking for a while, he decided to knock on the closed door first.

He knocked slowly for a while, but there was no response from the room.Frowning, he stepped up and knocked three more times, but there was still no response.

It's just dawn, where can Xia He go?Li Mu frowned, and when he turned around, he saw Xia He carrying two plates and three bowls like a juggler, rushing towards this side with her head buried.

As soon as Xia He looked up, he saw his second brother-in-law—no, it should be his husband-in-law now, standing at the door of his house with an unhappy expression on his face. But those bowls and plates of the Li family were so exquisite at first glance, they were reluctant to drop them, so they quickly held them up, and smiled at Li Mu: "Sir...? I made breakfast, I don't know where to bring it Let's go. Do you want to eat?"

Li Mu was in a daze. His newlywed wife looked like a gentle and well-behaved little daughter yesterday. Why did she look a little silly when she smiled?

Xia He smiled stiffly, this is the breakfast he made for himself, and now he can only contribute it and share it with others.
