Chapter 93

Nanmenyue bid farewell to Zhou's daughter-in-law and returned to the col. All the way, they were wondering whether to ask Mrs. Liu about that Sun Hongda in person.

When the carriage arrived at the col, Mrs. Liu was still preparing dinner. Mrs. Zhuang was tossing around the river with crab baskets. The two cans of crab sauce she made were very successful. She was itching to catch more crabs. It didn't stop either.

Nanmenyue tied up the horse, carried the corn to the stove, and saw that Mrs. Liu had almost prepared dinner, so she went to work on herself first. She picked a corn and pushed it aside, cleaned the corn silk, Pick out a few fiery red charcoal heads from the fire, insert a small bamboo stick into the heel of the corn, and hold the corn back and forth to roast it.

In Nanmenyue’s previous job, she spent almost 200 days a year in the mountains. The food she ate was basically grilled over fire. Her grilling skills are comparable to those of the chefs at the grill stand. As long as there are seasonings , she can do the same deliciously.

Seeing his mother working on the fire, Qi Ying'er also ran over to see her holding a piece of corn roasting by the fire, thinking about what her mother was cooking. He stayed quietly by her side without saying a word, occasionally swallowing a few saliva.

After Nanmenyue roasted the corn until golden, she brushed a layer of lard on the side and continued to test. The corn is easier to cook. The charcoal has a lot of heat, and it will be cooked after turning it around a few times. Before taking it out from the charcoal, secretly Opened Mrs. Zhuang's crab sauce, spread it on a layer, and baked it for a while, the aroma really came out.

"It smells so good, mother, I want to eat it." Qi Ying'er pouted, and leaned towards Nanmenyue again, almost sticking to her. He had eaten boiled corn before, but he still burned it like this Fragrant.

Nanmenyue picked up the corn from the charcoal, blew it a few times, and passed it to Qi Yinger after it cooled down a bit: "Just eat one, and I will have dinner later."

Qi Yinger got the corn, nodded like pounding garlic, bared his teeth, not afraid of being scalded at all, just gnawed at the tempting corn, chewed a few times and nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, it's delicious, it's delicious .”

Seeing how satisfied he was eating, Nanmenyue reached out and took a bite: "Well, it's really delicious." The delicious crab will be wrapped in tender and sweet corn, and it will leave an endless aftertaste in your mouth. This is the taste, tomorrow This taste will definitely sell for a good price.

Nanmenyue got up and went to Mr. Qi. There were a few pieces of wood that the old man brought from the mountains at home. This time, he just asked him to nail a barbecue table, which happened to be used tomorrow.

Mr. Qi is a veteran carpenter. As soon as Nanmenyue said it, he figured out what to do. Seeing that there was still some time before dinner, he simply started working now, fearing that Nanmenyue would not be able to catch up with it tomorrow.

What Nanmenyue told Mr. Qi to do is to turn around and look for Yu Laosan who is carrying water to drench the corn seedlings. Roasting corn requires a lot of carbon, so there is still time to go to the mountains to burn it this time, otherwise we will have to hurry tomorrow busy.

Hearing Nanmenyue's shout, Yu Laosan hurriedly put down his pole and came towards Nanmenyue: "What's wrong, is that old man Sun coming again?"

Nanmenyue frowned, and suddenly thought of what the Zhou family's wife said: "That old bachelor Sun Hongda has found this mountain?" She lowered her voice, afraid that the Liu family in front would listen to her up.

In those days, such things were basically unspeakable. If everyone found out, Aunt Liu would go to the mountains with a white silk at night, just like Zhou, and she couldn't think of committing suicide.

Yu Laosan realized that he had slipped his mouth, so he quickly covered his mouth, feeling that he couldn't cover it anymore, so he had to tell Nanmenyue seriously: "I came here at noon, and I said I was here to propose marriage to Aunt Liu, and I said yes." I will live a happy life with Aunt Liu or something."

"And then? Did Aunt Liu agree?"

Oldest Yu shook his head. He didn't know what happened to Aunt Liu. Seeing Old Man Sun avoiding him, he seemed to see a ghost: "Aunt Liu has been hiding and didn't see him, and asked me to drive him away. .”

"Fortunately, he ran fast, and I caught him, and I will beat him to death." Nanmenyue gritted her teeth, thinking of Aunt Liu's appearance on the verge of collapse yesterday, she really felt distressed.

Aunt Liu came here because she hoped that someone would protect her, but she didn't expect that she couldn't hide from that bastard Sun Hongda.

Yu Laosan didn't know why Nanmenyue was so aggrieved. He guessed that it was the ugly words Sun Hongda said when he bought wild pork last time: "By the way, what did you call me for?"

It was only this time that Nanmenyue remembered that she was going to do something serious: "Take the machete, and I will go to the mountains with you to burn some charcoal, and tomorrow I will go to the county to sell roasted corn." It's buoyant.

The third son Yu responded innocently, then went to the stove with a machete for chopping firewood and followed Nanmenyue up the mountain to burn charcoal.

When the two came down from the mountain with their carbon heads on their backs, the family had already had dinner. Qi Yinger always went to bed early, and this time he was lying on the bed with his grandfather.

Sitting by the fire, Mrs. Liu lost her pajamas, so she took out the clothes that Sun Hongda had torn yesterday and sewed them there. Tears fell unconsciously, and she didn't close her eyes for a moment last night. It's not that Fatty just married a wife, but she really wants to leave.

With this dirty body, he didn't know how to face his own man after death.

When Nanmenyue came back from the mountain, she saw Liu's hunched body sitting by the fire from a distance, which was very sad.

Mrs. Liu is a representative of the sad women of this era. Even if they lose their husbands, they still need to stay in their husband's house until the end of their lives. It is rare for someone who thinks of remarrying to bear the burden of being poked at the spine and abused.

Sun Hongda is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he will never give up when he hits a wall this time. From the words he threatened Liu Shi, he knows that Sun Hongda will definitely try again to marry Liu Shi to him.

Therefore, before Sun Hongda started spreading rumors in the village, he must find a way to ruin him in front of the villagers.

Nanmenyue came up with a good plan. He looked at Laosan Yu who was walking behind: "Sir, will you still go to your father's place tomorrow? If not, come with me to the county town to sell roasted corn." She This plan requires the help of Yu Laosan, so he had to be called together.

"If you can't do it alone, I'll go with you. My father is not in a hurry."

Youngest Yu, with his carbon head on his back, was still a little uneasy: "Mother Ying, can you pretend you don't know what happened today? I promised Aunt Liu that I would keep it a secret for her." Well, the old man and the old woman were taking a nap at the other end of the bamboo house, so they didn't see each other.

This matter also happened to me with the fat pier's wife.
