Flowers are expensive

Chapter 26 Cao Meixiang's Dowry
"Which family is interested?" Dongxiang asked with his head down and his toes.

"She didn't say which household it was, she just turned eighteen corners and asked, can I not understand?"

"It's only the fifteenth morning in Xining, don't worry, my daughter is not bad, don't worry if I can't find a good family to marry."

"In this village, the only one who is worthy of our family in Xining is that kid from the Tian family. But the Tian family has been silent, and it's not easy to come to ask. I'm so ashamed!"

"You're so stupid!" Dongxiang raised his head and said, "You can't ask, ask someone else to ask! Then Tian Yisheng is a scholar, and there are many people who want to get into his house! Why don't you ask first, and then tell me later. If someone preempts it, you can only close the door and cry."

"Okay, I'll think of a way later! Go to sleep, go to sleep, I'm exhausted."

Just as Mrs. Xiao finished speaking, Qin Lihua's exclamation suddenly came from the opposite side: "Xie Manting, it hurts me so much!" The couple's expressions changed drastically, and they looked at each other in surprise.Sister-in-law Xiao shook her head vigorously and said, "Oh, I don't know how to restrain myself. Is it embarrassing to make such a big commotion?"

"What about other people? They just got married not long ago, and no matter how big the disturbance is, it's their business. Let's sleep on you!"

"It's disgusting!" Sister-in-law Xiao cursed, then turned on the light and went to sleep.

At the same time, the lights in Ewha's room turned on instead.She sat on the ground with disheveled hair, rubbed the back of her head, and said with an aggrieved face: "Xie Manting, you are deliberately revenge on me!" I couldn't help laughing.He sat down cross-legged and said, "How did I know you crawled beside me in the middle of the night?"

"You're just taking revenge on me!" Lihua rubbed the back of her aching head, raised her mouth and said, "Revenging me for making you look bad tonight, right? Are you a big man? Your mind is as small as a chicken's intestines."

"I really didn't take revenge on you," Manting said with eyes more innocent than hers, "I didn't know you were by my side, I thought it was..."

"What is it? Thief? Robber? Oh my god...is there a thief who looks as good-looking as me and is so polite? He pokes you awake before he robs you?" Li Hua finished speaking angrily and bent down. Holding his head, he shouted, "It really hurts! If I fall into a concussion and become a fool, you can bully me for the rest of my life, right? Xie Manting, you are a villain, a villain!"

"Don't rub it," Man Ting said, pulling away her hand from covering the back of her head, "it will germinate after rubbing."

"But it really hurts! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Maybe you will have a slight concussion! You try to let someone fall to the ground suddenly, and your head will be completely dizzy."

"Then why are you crawling next to me?" Man Ting asked her with a puzzled expression. "I just want to change the sleeping place with you. A few days ago when you were hurt, you slept there. I slept on the floor, but tonight you let me sleep. I can't sleep, I'm not at ease, so I want to crawl Came here to wake you up, and asked you to change places. Who knows, just when your fingers touched you, you fell on your back, your head was dizzy, and your arm was almost broken, woo woo woo... Xie Manting, you treat me like me Transformers? Are you going to dismantle me and reassemble me?"

"Hahaha..." Man Ting laughed out loud for the first time, covered his forehead with his hands and bent down to laugh so hard that he couldn't straighten up.Lihua threw the pillow with an "angry" face and said, "Are you embarrassed to laugh? Pay me for the soup and medicine, Xie Manting!"

"I really didn't throw you on purpose," Man Ting said with a smile, "If it still hurts, I'll take you back to my house and ask my grandma to get you some herbal medicine."

"In the middle of the night, who is going back to your house with you? They might have silenced me on the way! Just like kicking those two killers, they kicked me into the cesspit. Where should I call for help? That's right. "Lihua pointed at Xie Manting with a serious face and said, "Speaking of which, I am the only witness who saw you kill those two thieves. What if you get upset one day and silence me? Do I have to Write a suicide note first and keep it?"

Man Ting frowned slightly, looked at her dumbfounded and asked, "Qin Lihua, are you really out of your mind? If I want to kill you, do I need to go all the way to rescue you from the mountain? I was on the mountain at that time. I can kick you down the mountain with one kick and let you be buried with those two thieves."

"That... that..." Lihua blinked her eyes, and reflexively touched the back of her sore head.Man Ting blocked her hand and said: "I told you, don't rub it anymore, it hurts even more when it's bulging."

"It's budding already," Lihua puffed up her cheeks and complained, "You're such a scary person, just touching you like that can knock you half to death, a big man is safer than me!"

"I've always been like this, very alert at night."

"An owl? Why are you so alert at night? It's not about running for your life."

"Maybe I'm used to it. I used to be in the military camp." "You really have been a soldier? It seems that the two thieves are right! Are you a deserter?"

"No."

"Then why are you back?" Lihua said and habitually reached out to touch the bud on the back of her head, but was quickly held by Manting.Manting's hand was a bit rough but warm. The moment he held it, Lihua's reaction was not shyness or disgust, but a natural smile and said: "Xie Manting, why is your hand so warm? My hand It's like a popsicle."

Man Ting was stunned suddenly, and hurriedly let go of his hand, as if he had grabbed something that shouldn't be grabbed.Only then did Lihua realize that even though she was relatively open, she wasn't open enough to be grabbed by a random man?But why didn't you shake off Man Ting's hand just now, and said with a smile that his hands are very warm?It's over, Xie Manting must have misunderstood again, thinking that he is Que'er is very casual!
Thinking about it, she couldn't help raising her eyelids and glanced at Man Ting. Unexpectedly, the eyes of the two met, and they were a little embarrassed for a moment. They looked away, pretending that nothing happened.

"Are you really sleeping on the floor?" Man Ting asked after a while.

"Well," Li Hua nodded and said, "Go to that bed...I'll sleep here."

"Why?" Man Ting asked a little curiously.

"I don't know why, anyway, I feel uneasy, like an offering lying on the altar," Li Hua smiled when he saw Man Ting hesitantly, "Don't worry, I won't say that you abused me. It's me I’m willing to sleep on the ground, I’ve wronged you, okay?”

"Are you guarding against me? I said I won't touch you."

"No, I was afraid that I would touch you. Is this okay? Brother Xie, Uncle Xie, I want to sleep, you should go to sleep now!"

Man Ting smiled lightly, then went back to bed and got into bed.After Lihua blew out the lamp, the room fell silent.There was a faint fragrance from the quilt covering the whole courtyard, as if it was left by pear blossoms, which disturbed him almost from sleepiness, and he opened his eyes to look at the gray-white moon shadow coming in through the crack of the window above his head.

"Ah!" Lihua suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?" Man Ting asked hurriedly.

"I accidentally pressed the buds on my head, I hate you to death, Xie Manting!" Li Hua muttered, turned over and fell asleep on her stomach.But it didn't take long for her to sleep and roll over again naturally, and she was woken up by the pain again.After repeating it several times in the first half of the night, she didn't wake up in the second half of the night.

When she woke up the next morning, she found Xie Manting's pillow leaning against her back.Only then did she understand why she didn't wake up from the pain in the second half of the night. It turned out that there was a pillow against her back.She thumped the pillow and said with a smile: "If your master has a conscience, if you punch you, you won't care about him!"

When she was about to get up while yawning, Man Ting pushed the door open and entered.She hugged the pillow and asked curiously: "Where did you go so early in the morning? Didn't you say that you are too busy planting rice seedlings, so you don't have to get up so early?"

Man Ting didn't speak, went straight to her and sat down, took out a small round bowl from his sleeve, and said: "Turn your head, where did the buds sprout last night, let me have a look."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'll give you the medicine." Li Hua asked while lowering her head and brushing her hair away, "Is that the herbal medicine that your pharmacist grandma made?" "Yeah."

"Does it work?"

"It's the only one that doesn't work."

"Can't you speak softly, Xie Manting?"

"The fact is that there is no doctor here. My grandma is the only medicine woman. She is well-known far and wide. She won't take your life."

"Then I'm relieved. By the way, did you go back to pick it up in the morning?"

"Well, it's finished, the medicine is here, keep it for yourself." Man Ting put the small round bowl in her hand, and then left the room.

Lihua felt the coolness and fragrance on the back of her head, and her whole head became much clearer.

After washing and washing, she just opened the door, and a fresh smell of earth came to her nostrils, and she couldn't help sighing: "When did it rain?"

Huang Ying, who lived next door, happened to be standing under the eaves, turned her head and saw her, and said with a trace of disdain on her face, "I didn't even know it rained in the morning, so it can be seen that I was tossing hard last night! Qin Lihua, didn't you mean to die?" Are you not worthy of a servant? Now you are as obedient as a rabbit, why did you run away so hard in the past? You are really looking for trouble!"

"Did it rain this morning?" Li Hua looked at Huang Ying in surprise and asked.

"Oh, if you really fell asleep, you really don't know it's raining so much?" Huang Ying sighed, "It seems that you still have to follow Xie Manting's fate! I don't bother to tell you, I'm going to have breakfast .”

Lihua blinked her eyes and looked at the round jar in the middle of the yard. The water in it was full, and she could still see the bottom yesterday!She lost her mind looking at the water surface, and then involuntarily touched the bulging bud on the back of her head.Suddenly, someone grabbed her hand, and voices filled the room: "Why are you acting like a child? I've told you several times, but I can't remember?"

"Huh?" Vanilla turned her head to look, it was really Xie Manting.

"What's wrong?" Manting felt that her eyes were a little strange and asked, "Is your head still dizzy? Or did you really fall stupid?"

"Xie Manting," she asked, looking straight at Manting, "You went home in the rain to get medicine because I felt guilty because of the fall?"

"Aside from that, do you think there is any other reason?"

"That...it's better not to have that!" After saying this, Lihua crowded the courtyard and walked out with her head buried.For some reason, when Man Ting suddenly appeared in front of her just now, her scalp felt numb for a while.She shook her head while walking and said, "There must be something abnormal in the brain waves, it's all right, it's because of the fall!"

When entering the kitchen, Lihua heard Xiao's sister-in-law saying to Duan Qigu: "There are no mulberries in the silkworm room, and we have to go and pick up some mulberry leaves later." Duan Qigu read while washing the dishes: "Those The ancestors are really difficult to serve! Don’t look so small, eating mulberry leaves is like grabbing.” She suddenly smelled a fragrance, raised her head and saw the pear blossom, and asked with a smile: “Pear blossom, did you wipe it today? What is it? It smells so good, like sweet-scented osmanthus."

Lihua scooped up the rice and said, "Oh, maybe it's the ointment that Xie Manting asked his grandma for."

"What's wrong? Is it hurt somewhere?"

"It's not hurt, it's just a bump on the back of the head."

"Oh," Sister Xiao said with a sneer from the side, "you newlyweds are really good at tossing, and you are so tossing that the backs of your heads are sprouting! I said pear blossoms, you have to think about it, this is not Wang's mansion." There are other people living in the backyard of the deep house, so you have to be more cautious about everything you do, right? It’s fine to make trouble occasionally, but don’t make trouble every night.”
