Xue's daughter-in-law

Chapter 48

Xue Shu cleaned up the silky chicken, and mentioned that the kitchen asked Ye Ya to come out and stew it. He felt that the dishes made by his wife were very delicious, so he didn't think about anything else.

Ye Ya responded, but just as she walked out of the west room, Xue Song took the chicken from Xue Shu, turned to her and said, "Sister and sister, rest, I'll make vegetables tonight."

The tone was calm and natural, no different from before.

Ye Ya finally couldn't help but glanced at him, just in time to see him looking at her silently, his eyes were deep and focused like a pool of deep water, it was impossible to see through.What surprised her even more was that he seemed to be waiting for her to look over. As soon as she raised her head, he locked her tightly with his eyes, as if he wanted to look into her heart. She was so startled that she hurriedly looked away. Na Na said: "Let me come, brother, you go and rest." She no longer hurts her stomach, and she is not so delicate that she needs a big man like him to help cook.

Finally being able to meet her eyes, Xue Song felt that the depression that had been stuck in his chest for a whole day dissipated in that look.

He stared at her blankly.In fact, that glance was too short, and he didn't see anything at all, but he just liked to see her lowering her head in panic or turning her eyes away, watching her slender face slowly emerge with a blush that was more touching than the sunset. He doesn't know what pleasing to the eye is, but now he knows, he likes to look at her, he likes her so much that he can't stand her ignoring him, and he likes her so much that he can't help being nice to her, just for a little concern from her.He doesn't want much, and he likes him without her, but he really can't stand her not looking at him or talking to him.

Reason told him not to provoke her, and it was good to keep a distance from each other like this. She lived with her second brother wholeheartedly, and he behaved like her eldest brother.However, when he was tortured so badly that he was about to go crazy, how could he care about reason?Just like he doesn't want her to misunderstand that he likes Xia Hua, he really wants to tell her that he doesn't want to marry a wife at all, he understands that she can't like him, and will never care whether he marries or not, but what if, What if she cared a little bit?He pretended to be affectionate and didn't want her to be wronged in the slightest.

As for why she suddenly changed her attitude and was very cold and polite to him and the third brother, Xue Song had two guesses in his mind.Either she sensed his intentions and decided to avoid suspicion, or he accidentally did something to make her angry. She was unhappy, so she didn't want to talk to him, and even took her anger on the third brother.

So, he needs to know what is the reason.The feeling of being ignored by her is too tormented, and he wants to return to the way he was before.

Let's guess that she is angry first, then he will try to please her.In fact, she was not feeling well, and he didn't want her to cook at noon, but because his second uncle and aunt were there, he didn't say anything.Now that there are no outsiders at home, she can rest well without doing anything, and no one will think she is delicate.

Ye Ya couldn't stand it anymore, she was not a piece of wood, how could she not feel it when Xue Song stared at her for such a long time?
She thought she would be angry, but she didn't, she just felt nervous and a little bit wronged.It was he who warned her not to think too much. Now he took the initiative to take over her work and stared at her without hesitation. What did he mean?
Seeing that Xue Song was still motionless, Ye Ya didn't know where the courage came from. She lowered her head and walked to his side, reaching out to grab the chicken in his hand, "Brother, go in and rest, I'm fine." She didn't need him Take care!
Xue Song was startled by her rare and bold behavior, he didn't let go, his eyes fell on her unconsciously pursed lips, his heart beat wildly.

Ye Ya tried her best, but she still couldn't grab it, and the disembowelled silky chicken was pulled and shaken gently by the two of them.

Ye Ya's stubbornness broke through, she raised her head, and for the first time glared at the man she dared not look directly at: "Brother!"

It was also the first time for Xue Song to see her angry, those dark almond eyes were wronged and angry, and his shadow was reflected in them.His throat moved, his eyes softened, he looked down at her and said: "Sister and sister, you are weak, let me do it."

Ye Ya's face turned red, it was this look, this tone, he, he...

If you really don't want to misunderstand her, don't look at people with that kind of eyes, okay?

After a brief moment of daze, she turned her head and ran back to the house, mixed with shame and anger.

Xue Shu was sitting on the north threshold, watching the two scramble back and forth, and finally the daughter-in-law ran away for some reason, while the elder brother stared blankly at the curtain.His eyes fell on the chicken that was still shaking in the elder brother's hand, and he said to Xue Song suspiciously: "Brother, can you stew chicken? Your cooking must not be as delicious as your wife's cooking, right?"

Xue Song came back to his senses, looked at him helplessly, and said in a low voice: "Is it delicious, it's not for you, it's for your younger siblings!"

Xue Shu pouted, the chicken was so big that the daughter-in-law couldn't finish it by herself, she would definitely give him some!

He thought for a while, seeing that his eldest brother had already started chopping chicken, he quickly got up and went to the Westinghouse.

Ye Ya was staring at the jar of honey on the cabinet in a daze, when she heard the movement, she turned her head and glanced at Xue Shu, without saying a word.

Xue Shu walked over to hug her, and kissed her ear flatteringly, "Daughter-in-law, does your stomach still hurt?"

Ye Ya shrunk her neck, shook her head, and then pushed him: "Stop making trouble, I messed up my hair again in a while."

Xue Shu hurriedly stepped back, straightened her hair at the back of her head, hugged her arm and begged: "Daughter-in-law, then you go to stew chicken, the eldest brother can't cook at all, and my third brother and I don't like to eat his cooking." If you let him stew chicken, it must be unpalatable, it's too useless, good wife, I want to eat your cooking..."

Brother, cooking is difficult?
Thinking of Xue Song's calm appearance insisting on making vegetables just now, Ye Ya suddenly wanted to laugh, and couldn't help asking Xue Shu in a low voice: "Is it really that bad?"

Xue Shu nodded solemnly, "When he cooks porridge, the rice grains are often hard, and he always forgets to put salt in the dishes. The third brother complained once when he was a child, and the eldest brother asked me to learn how to cook." That time The third brother ate badly, so he remembered it very clearly.

It turns out that big brother can't do anything...

This discovery relieved Ye Ya's boredom. Seeing Xue Shu looking at her expectantly, she thought about it and decided not to waste that chicken.

"Come on, let's go out to stew chicken, and you help me light the fire."

Xue Shu's eyes lit up immediately, and he walked out behind his daughter-in-law with a smile.

Xue Song was still secretly reminiscing about her blushing and embarrassing appearance, his heart was sweet, and he didn't hear Westinghouse's low voice at all. When Ye Ya and Xue Shu came out and sat together by the north gate, he didn't think much, just He sneaked a glance over there, wanting to see what the two of them were doing.As a result, he was so surprised that he almost cut his hand.

She was looking at him!
After being caught peeping, Xue Song hurriedly looked away, lowered his head and chopped the chicken vigorously. After a while, he felt that she should turn around, so he pretended to look over there casually.

She's still looking at him!
Xue Song was completely flustered, because he knew she was staring at him, he felt that he didn't even know how to hold a kitchen knife, so he cut a few times at random, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, raised his head and asked: "Sister and sister, what are you doing?" What are you looking at?" Trying to look calm and steady, his palms were already sweating.

Because Xue Shu was by his side, Ye Ya replied confidently: "I'm watching how big brother cooks. I heard from Ashu that your cooking is very delicious. I want to follow suit, okay?" Looking at him innocently, seeing Xue Song's calm face finally showing a touch of embarrassment, she felt very relieved, why can't she look at him when he is allowed to stare at her?It was he who made her feel blocked first. Since he insisted on rushing to work and taking care of her like this after warning her not to think too much, then she took his heart seriously.

Xue Shu didn't know what his daughter-in-law said was ironic, and thought that Ye Ya really wanted to learn how to cook from Xue Song. He was taken aback, and hurriedly defended: "I didn't say that elder brother cooks... ah!" Being pinched by his wife, he immediately complained aggrievedly: "Daughter-in-law, why are you pinching me!" Ye Ya gave him a hard stare.

After Ye Ya pinched him, she knew that her sarcasm had been exposed, but she didn't dare to look at Xue Song blatantly anymore, and turned her head to look outside the door, her face flushed.

Xue Song's nervousness calmed down after seeing her little daughter's tenderness, and he was in a good mood. As long as she is not so polite and alienated, as long as she is happy, so what if he is laughed at by her?
While cutting the chicken neatly, he said to her sincerely: "Sister and sister, in fact, I don't know how to stew chicken. I need you to watch it for me later, and tell me how much oil and salt to put and how long to cook. Is it?" His eyes were on the cutting board, but he didn't look at her, for fear that she would run away in shame.

Hearing what he said so earnestly, Ye Ya felt even more uncomfortable, stood up uneasily, lowered her head slightly and said: "Brother, I, I was just joking, let me get it for you, just go to the house and rest. "It's fine, what kind of anger is she getting at?The big brother rushing to cook is also for her own good, although his kindness makes her a little upset...

Xue Song just finished cutting the last knife, he put down the kitchen knife, turned to look at her, and there was a rare smile in his deep eyes: "I know you are joking, but I really want to learn from you, brother and sister, Let's do it together, the three of us? The second brother is lighting the fire, and I'm busy with the cooking pot, so you just watch from the side."

He likes to see her shy, but she is shy because she is a little afraid of him. If she can always be like before, with bright eyes, a little cunning and a little bad, if she wants to get angry, she will be angry clearly, then It shows that she has really integrated into this family. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to get along with each other easily?

He was in a good mood, and his voice was naturally brisk. Ye Ya glanced at him curiously, saw that his eyes were soft and his words were kind. Nodded, "Okay, but just this time, let me do all the cooking in the future."

"Okay." Xue Song secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that she would not agree.

After the discussion, the three of them started to get busy, Ye Ya's surprise or helpless reminder came from the kitchen soon, accompanied by Xue Shu's haha ​​laughter, and Xue Song's embarrassing excuse, for example, although he squeezed a lot of salt , but I didn't even think about putting in such a lame lie.

Xue Bai really couldn't read the book anymore, leaned against the wall and listened to the harmonious laughter outside, and closed his eyes comfortably, the three of you cook, then I'll wait and enjoy the fruits of it.

The smell of the stewed chicken became stronger and stronger. When the food was served and the four of them sat down again, everyone had a slight smile on their faces.

However, Xue Song never gave up exploring Ye Ya's thoughts. When the dinner was about to end, he was silent for a moment, then put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said to Xue Bai naturally: "Third brother, my second uncle urged me to get married quickly at noon, but I don't want to marry you." Wife, for the time being, after the autumn, can you help me? I don't want my second uncle to worry about it, but I really thought about it, no matter what, I will never marry a wife." As soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned Concentrated, his gaze was firmly locked on the little woman sitting diagonally opposite, not letting go of any emotional changes on her face.

Then, Xue Song found that when he mentioned that the second uncle was urging him, she quickly lowered her eyes and pursed her red lips lightly. When he mentioned procrastination, her thick eyelashes moved, and she was about to lift it up. When he made it clear that he would not marry a wife, the corners of her mouth slightly turned up, and then she bit her lip, as if that could cover up her secret smile that didn't want to be noticed by others, and when he thought happily, When she was about to look away, she quietly raised her eyes to look over, her eyes met each other, panic flashed in her brimming eyes, and she quickly lowered her head, her face was already stained with a blush that made his heart beat faster.

Xue Song had never eaten honey, and heard that it was very sweet, but he felt that no matter how sweet the honey was, it could not be sweeter than his heart at this moment. She cared, she really cared whether he married a wife, this Does it mean that she has him in her heart, even just a little bit?

But he quickly remembered one more thing. She had been ignoring him since the morning. At that time, there was no such thing as the second uncle's urging marriage, so why was she also angry at that time?
After the three of them cooked together before, Xue Song felt that it was not a relationship between avoiding suspicion and not avoiding suspicion. So, did he make her angry?
She was fine before she passed out yesterday, so it could only be that he accidentally said or did something wrong last night.

Xue Song recalled the scenes of last night in his mind, since she cared a little about him, she would never be angry because he was kind to her...Suddenly, he remembered that when he was parting last night, he was afraid of being seen through by her Concerned, I deliberately asked her not to think too much, and then he strode away. Before closing the door, she seemed to be still standing there. Could it be that sentence that caused the trouble?

That's right, that's right, it must be, if she has him in her heart, it's because he was kind to her, but she must be very wronged when he said that after provoking her?
Thinking of this, Xue Song felt very anxious, wishing to explain to Ye Ya immediately.

But he forgot that he and she were not the only two at the dinner table. When he said that he did not want to marry a wife, Xue Bai's surprised eyes fell on him. Ye Ya's eyes wandered back and forth, and a ridiculous but not so unacceptable thought suddenly appeared in his heart, his elder brother liked his second sister-in-law, just like him!
Yes, even a person like him who leaves early and returns late will be moved, let alone the elder brother who has spent more time with her?

It's just, I don't know if the second sister-in-law likes the elder brother?

Xue Bai's eyes flashed, and he decided to add fuel to the flames: "Brother, why don't you want to marry a good-looking man? Our family has a little money now, don't say it's to save money for my education, you know, I would rather not study than I would like to see you because I will die alone."

Ye Ya had regained his composure, and naturally gave Xue Shu a piece of chicken, choosing to ignore the conversation between the two men.Xue Shu was still a little curious as to why his eldest brother didn't want to marry a wife, and looked at Xue Song while eating the chicken his wife gave him.

Xue Song always kept his word in front of his two younger brothers. He didn't explain anything to Xue Bai, and his main purpose of mentioning this matter was to see Ye Ya's reaction. He didn't expect Xue Bai to give him any good advice, so he said, "It's not because You, you just don't want to marry, that's all, I just said casually, you study hard, I will figure out a way by myself." After finishing speaking, he got up and went to the backyard.

Night had fallen outside, Xue Bai watched him stride under the tree, turned to Ye Ya and said, "Second sister-in-law, what do you think about elder brother's matter?"

Ye Ya was a little confused now, she didn't dare to delve into why she was relieved when she heard that Xue Song would find a way to reject his second uncle, and she didn't dare to think about why Xue Song didn't want to marry a wife.Hearing Xue Bo ask her, she felt a little guilty for no reason, and said without raising her head: "Brother's affairs are naturally up to him, I dare not say anything, but, how can he not marry a wife?" The last sentence was really hers. From the bottom of my heart, the male college should be married and the female college should be married. Why is there no reason for the eldest brother not to marry?

After hearing this answer, Xue Bo stopped talking, feeling a little heavy.Regardless of the fact that she doesn't seem to be tempted by her eldest brother at the moment, in the future, even if she is tempted, the eldest brother can not marry for her, can he do it?He is not the eldest brother, he has more things to consider.

Soon, Xue Bai also left after eating, leaving only Ye Ya and Xue Shu on the dinner table.

"Daughter-in-law, go to bed first, I'll clean up the pot tonight!"

Xue Shu was full. He remembered the words of Sun Langzhong and his second aunt, not to make his wife tired or wet.At noon, he begged his wife to stew the chicken, because he would help to light the fire when the chicken was stewed, and the daughter-in-law could just turn the pot twice, and it would not be too tiring. Can't let the daughter-in-law brush.

Ye Ya was lowering her head to clean up the dishes, she shook her head and said, "No, I'll do it, I'll finish cleaning in a while, you go and help me put the chickens in the cage." It's cold at night, and the chickens are still young, so put them in the cage during the day. If they stay on the ground, they have to be put in a wooden cage supported by stones at night, so as to prevent weasels from stealing chickens in the middle of the night.

Xue Shu thought for a while, the chicks at home were very good, they huddled together to sleep when it was dark, and they were easy to catch. Such light work should be done by his wife, so he grabbed her hand, "Daughter-in-law, I'll clean the pot, you go catch the chicken!"

His hand was warm and strong, holding her tightly, unable to break free at all, Ye Ya looked up, saw him looking at her firmly, knew that he was loving her, warmed her heart, and smiled at him: "Okay, okay , you clean the pot, I'll catch the chicken, then let's compete to see who finishes first, how about that?" He stood up and was about to go out.

Xue Shu suddenly got up and stopped in front of her, supported her by the shoulder and said softly: "Daughter-in-law, if I win, what reward will I have?"

His eyes were burning, his voice was hoarse, if Ye Ya couldn't guess the reward he wanted, she would have been in bed with him for so long, and she couldn't help regretting that she had been quick to talk and coaxed him into a child.

"Yaya..." Seeing his daughter-in-law biting her lip and bowing her head, Xue Shu strikes while the iron is hot. The daughter-in-law is really shy. Once she is shy, she will easily agree to anything.

Ye Ya tilted her head and looked at the backyard, but she didn't see Xue Song, knowing that he was not in front of her, she lowered her voice, "I'm not comfortable there, I can't..."

Xue Shu had already prepared a way out: "You can do it with your hands!"

He spoke so fast, maybe how long he had been thinking about it in his heart, Ye Ya pushed him away angrily: "Yeah, let's talk about it when you win!" He hurried to the backyard and walked towards the chicken fence. The fool who was thinking about that, she will never treat him like a child again, she wanted him to win and be happier, but she didn't want to involve herself in it!

But this time, she still lost, not because she was slow, but because someone interrupted her while catching the chicken.
