Cross-country exchange

After lunch, Xia Yu took advantage of the hot weather outside, and most people in the village would choose to have a short rest at home at noon, and without telling Xia's family, he took some things and ran to the hills, along the way that night. memory, came to the cave.

He didn't go into the cave right away, but carefully searched around the cave. Except for some fruit shells left in one place, there were also some inconspicuous white hairs.

"what are these?"

Xia Yu picked up a thumb-sized fruit shell, looked at it, smelled it, and thought it was probably a wild fruit from the mountain.

He looked at the mess all over the place, and finally walked into the cave.The temperature in the cave is quite different from the temperature outside. Once inside, the whole person feels much cooler.However, the smell in the cave is still so strong.

Last night he discussed with Luo Liang that the meat should be cleaned up today, and if it is left for a few days, it will probably stink and rot. If it attracts snakes, rats and ants, it will be a bit of a waste.

Moreover, this cave is hidden and is a good place to hide things.

Before Luo Liang came, Xia Yu skillfully skinned the animal.After he had gutted out the internal organs of several wild rabbits and pheasants, Luo Liang rushed over quickly carrying an earthen pot and salt blocks.

Before the person arrived, the "Xia Xiaoyu, I'm coming." came first.

Seeing the wild meat that had been cleaned up beside Xia Yu, Luo Liang immediately extended his thumb, "Xia Xiaoyu, you are awesome."

Xia Yu was too lazy to argue with him about what was there, so he immediately picked up a knife and quickly deboned the meat, and sliced ​​the meat into strips, "I told you before, my marinating method is good or not, If it is marinated in autumn, then the meat can be eaten next year. But this summer, it may take a long time, so we should get rid of the meat as soon as possible."

Luo Liang rubbed his head and said with a smile, "It's okay, anyway, you have something to do, I'll be hunting in the mountains, and when the time comes, you can find a way to deal with it, and I will trust you."

Xia Yu's hand, which was chopping bones, froze for a moment. It was the first time that someone believed so much.But he still persuaded, "Try not to go too deep, otherwise where can I find such a big son to compensate Uncle Luo's family?"

Luo Liang happily grinned, then thought of something, and immediately glared and said, "Well, Xia Xiaoyu, did you forget to tell me something?"

Xia Yu sprinkled salt on the meat one by one, and said indifferently, "What can I hide from you?"

Luo Liang glanced at him fiercely, "Xia Xiaoyu, you are so dishonest that you didn't even notify me of such a big wedding."

Xia Yu was about to use the board to slap the evenly spread meat. Hearing Luo Liang's mention, he wished he could greet him directly with the board. Take a moment to be quiet and think about it.

"The horoscope has not been written yet. What are you talking about? My parents will definitely notify Uncle Luo when I really want to get married. Don't you know by then?"

Luo Liang punched him hard, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not all your fault, my father and grandma heard that you are going to get married soon, and now they are also in a hurry to find me a home Honey, hum."

Xia Yu found it funny when he thought about it, "It's good to get married. After getting married, you don't have a brother to hold you. Maybe you get married this year, and you will have a baby next year, and you will hold two in three years."

"I don't want to get married. After we get married, someone will take care of you, take care of you. You see, the kid from Uncle Chen's next door to my house just got married. His new brother-in-law will go to his grandparents immediately if he has anything to do all day long." Complaint, two people quarrel every day, I can hear that sound, if I marry a brother like this in the future, brother, can I still live? Xia Xiaoyu, you know how to make sarcastic remarks there." Said When it was over, Luo Liang hummed angrily and stopped talking.

Xia Yu divided the pressed meat strips into two cans, then covered the lids, placed them in a corner inside the cave, covered them with other things, and then said to Luo Liang: "Okay, Let's hurry down the mountain and come back at night if we are free."

In the evening, Xia Yu didn't have time to go up the mountain, because he was stopped by Xia's grandma and grandma.

Everyone in the room was present, with grandparents sitting at the top, and the brothers sitting on both sides. That posture gave Xia Yu the illusion that his scalp was numb.

"Boy, grandma has something to tell you."

Xia Yu nodded, without thinking, he knew what it was.But he still chose to listen carefully.

The grandmother of the Xia family smiled and said, "Our kid has grown up so much without knowing it. Grandma and your father have arranged a marriage for you, combining your horoscope with that little brother."

Xia Bing asked hurriedly, "Grandma, how do our little brother and that brother's horoscope match?"

The brighter the Xia family's grandmother's smile was, the more Xia Yu trembled in his heart. Is there even a need to ask, it must be done.

"It's done, the master said, Xia Xiaozi and that brother's horoscopes are quite good, let's go back and prepare to go to the family to propose marriage."

Xia Yu thought to himself, this master is just talking nonsense, the real Xia Yu might have been reincarnated, how could this horoscope fit.The ancients were all about this, but he couldn't refute it.

After that, Xia's father and grandma didn't listen to what they said. As for Xia Bing and Xia's grandparents discussing the details of the marriage proposal, Xia Yu was even less interested.

One of his carving knives, the round knife, is still in someone's blacksmith's shop. It's too bad to get married, so it's better to carve his wooden comb. If you do more, you can get a tael of silver.

The brother who is married to Xia Yu is named Li Mo, and there is only one blind grandma left in the family, and grandpa passed away more than ten years ago.He is the eldest in the family, and there is a boy below him.The family conditions are also very difficult. The most important thing is that this brother is very capable and can take good care of the family in the field.This is also the reason why Xia's grandma and Xia's father are happy. Some people say that it is a happy event. They are also anxious about their own son's marriage recently. No, the nobleman descended from the sky.

For this reason, Xia's grandma and her brothers spent a long time together, and they didn't go to bed very late.

The next day, there was still no light in the sky, Xia Yu got up early in the morning and continued to work, Xia's grandparents picked him up after getting up, and brought all the gifts that had been prepared, accompanied by Xia Bing and his party The four of them walked forty or fifty miles and came to a village called Lizhuang.

At the entrance of the village, an aunt had been waiting at the intersection for a long time, and when she saw the Xia family, she immediately went up to greet her, "Oh, you came so early, I was afraid that you would be late, come on, I will take you to that brother's house." home."

Xia Yu raised his eyelids and took a look. Isn't the aunt in front of him the one who usually sells vegetables next to his father?

Brother's house is not very far from the entrance of the village, just a few turns away.

The grandma brought them outside a broken brick house, and then stopped. The door of the house was open to the outside, and there was a grandma sitting in the house. , very neatly put the peeled beans in the wooden bowl on his right.

"Hey, I said Grandma Li, the guests are here, why are you still making beans?"

Auntie, who had been sitting in the room, immediately stood up when she heard the sound, and hurriedly tried to clean up the table, but she almost knocked over the wooden bowl because she couldn't see it. Mammy raised her hand quickly.

"Grandma Liu, I don't, I don't, alas, sit down for a while, I, I will let Li Yong call his brother back first."

Grandma Liu couldn't stand it any longer, she immediately pulled him to sit down and said, "Come on, if you are inconvenient, sit for me. Where is your kid, I'll call you."

"Why bother you with this matter?"

"Okay, okay, what's so embarrassing about it, where is your Li Yong?"

"He told me before that he went to catch a fish in the river and came back. It should be by the river."

While they were chatting, the grandmother of the Xia family had already looked inside and outside of Li's house, and it was even simpler than they expected.

When Grandma Liu came back, she brought back Li Yong and a brother. This brother was not very tall, but thin and lean, but his face was a bit nice, pretty, but dark.

As soon as Li Mo entered, the Xia family members were all looking at him.Grandma of the Xia family even looked at him from head to toe, looking at his body, she couldn't help but mutter in her heart, will this small body be easy to bear in the future?

Xia Yu stood aside and was pushed by Xia Bing. He raised his head and looked at it, then lowered his eyelids again, his mind churning with thoughts.Such a man, well, brother, want to spend the rest of my life with him?

Just thinking about it, Xia Yu felt that everything was wrong with him.

It's too child's play for the ancients to get married.

Li Mo had heard about this marriage a long time ago, so he was very calm when facing the big family. When the Xia family was looking at him, he was also looking at the four members of the Xia family. After getting dressed personally, his eyes turned to Xia Yu, seeing him with his head bowed like a bear, he couldn't help feeling bored.He has seen a lot of such a lackluster guy, thanks to Liu's grandma who praised him a lot, saying that although his family is poor, fortunately the six elder brothers are all capable, and the only kid also has a skill Work, if you are married, it will be hard for a few years.When the good days pass, you will naturally be able to take good care of your grandma.

Li Mo suddenly felt that the grandma of the Liu family might have missed something, and that this family was not as good as he said.

"Xiao Mo, hurry up and greet the guests for Grandma."

Xia Yu's grandma kept pulling Grandma Li to chat about this and that. Grandma Li knew that her boy and elder brother were back after hearing the voice, and immediately gave orders.

"Got it, Grandma."

Li Mo poured five bowls of water and brought them one by one in front of Grandma Liu and Xia's family.When it was brought to Xia Yu, he gave him a hard look for some reason.Xia Yu was a little hesitant when receiving the water. He hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand, but I don't know if he reacted too slowly, or the brother let go too quickly.Before the bowl was in my hand, it fell.

All of a sudden, the bowl was smashed to pieces, and the water was spilled all over the floor.

Xia Yu thought to himself, breaking the bowl seems to be bad for his family.As soon as he raised his head, he saw the brother on the other side looking at him with icy cold eyes, and his expression was a little arrogant.

Liu's grandma called out, "It's too unlucky."

"What's the matter, this is?" Grandma Li couldn't see, she was anxious when she heard such a big movement.

Li Mo immediately responded, "Grandma is fine, but I accidentally broke the bowl, please sit still, I'll clean it up."

The grandma of the Xia family even dragged her kid outside and scolded him severely, and Xia Bing followed immediately, persuading, "Grandma, don't scold me, you'd better go in and have a look. Isn't the matter still discussed?"

The grandma of the Xia family thought about it, and she was right. She nodded Xia Yu's forehead, and then entered the room again.

Xia Yu's mood was tossing like a roller coaster. He was listless just now, but no, the bowl was broken on the floor, and his whole body seemed to be alive.

As the saying goes, when it comes to getting married, you can't slap a single slap, if you can't slap two slaps together, then you can't slap.

Just now, my brother's attitude is clearly not happy.

Just for this, he had to find an opportunity to have a good "talk" with him.

The author has something to say: Xia Yu's expression should actually be like this.

Grandma: You are going to marry the brother of the Li family soon.

Xia Yu: (╯-╰)/

Grandma: Go to propose marriage with grandma tomorrow, okay?

Xia Yu: (T﹏T)

Grandma: After getting married, give grandma a fat baby early.

Xia Yu: 〒_〒
