Flowers are expensive

Chapter 44
"Without those gossiping women of yours who gossiping in the village all day long, the people in the village would know that Qin Lihua and the others are sisters? Or if they knew that the three of them were sisters, could this happen? In the future, if you have nothing to do, don't go out and talk about people's right and wrong, and be careful that misfortune comes out of your mouth!"

"Why are you so anxious about this matter? If you don't come to the spring festival, you won't come. Then Maliu dares to fight against the people of the village. His wings are really hard! I think that when the family was so poor that there was no rice for the pot, which family in the village did not give alms Him? Now that he is in charge, he will turn his face and deny anyone!"

"You useless bastards!" Jin Hui pointed at Mrs. Guo and scolded, "Didn't you just give up some rice and oil? You still expect to ride on someone's horse to be majestic for a lifetime? What is he now? Is it? The manager of the village is in charge! Can you bully him? This time his ugly face is just for you to see!"

"Hey, didn't you say that he was nothing special at the beginning, that he was just a poor manager? Are you praising him now?"

"Stupid! I'm just bragging on the wine table, do you take it seriously? Anyway, that Zhuangzi belongs to Mr. Wang, can you afford to offend me? Don't talk to me here, go to the farm to find out what's going on. go!"

"Who are you looking for? Cao Meizhi?"

"If you don't look for her, who else can you go to? Hurry up!" Guo Shi was a little reluctant, twisting her body and said, "I'm too embarrassed to go because of this matter."

"Don't ask me to whip you before you go!"

Mrs. Guo was muttering when her daughter Jinling came back.When she heard that her mother was going to the farm to find out, she immediately agreed to go with her.Only then did Jin Hui go out with a displeased face, leaving the mother and daughter talking in the room.

Jin Ling brought out Sanfang tofu from the bamboo basket and placed it on the table in the main room.Mrs. Guo sniffed it closely, poked it twice with her finger, and said with a smile, "Your mother-in-law's skill of pushing tofu can open a shop. Unfortunately, this village is too far away from the town."

"Man Sheng said, I'll move to the town when I save enough money, instead of just nesting in this poor ditch," Jin Ling said as she lifted a layer of cloth from the bottom of the bamboo basket and took out a dried fish. Daddy drinks and eats."

"Hey, what a big piece of dried fish! Where did you get it? Didn't your mother-in-law see it?" Guo said with a smile on his face. "If she sees it, don't you scold me for taking things to support my mother's family? I'm not that stupid! Brother Man Ting came back two days ago. Grandma made a table of good meals and stewed dried fish. I hid them while she was not paying attention. one."

Mrs. Guo frowned suddenly, pulled Jin Ling to sit down and said, "Girl, now you are Man Sheng's wife, and you are still calling Man Ting brother one after another, which makes people listen to it."

"I've already called it fluent, and it's hard to change it. Although he is my uncle, he is still older than me. It's okay to be called Brother Man Ting. Mom, pack up and pick up a few fruits and vegetables and take them to the farm. "

Mrs. Guo sized up Jin Ling suspiciously, then lowered her voice and asked, "Girl, are you still thinking about Man Ting?"

A trace of helplessness suddenly flashed in Jin Ling's eyes, a little bitter, as if she was still reluctant.Seeing her appearance, Mrs. Guo patted her on the arm lightly, and said in a low voice: "You are Man Sheng's daughter-in-law, how can you still think about your uncle? Let others know, so don't scold her." Can't our Jin family bring up good girls? You still have a girl waiting to get married behind you, so you must not do such a foolish thing. "

Jin Ling frowned, turned her face away to pick at the small hole in the window and said, "You asked me if I forgot, and I naturally answered that you did. How can a man who has liked forget just forget it? I will try my best to forget it." chant!"

"Damn child, the hole is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm still waiting for your brother to buy window paper to cover it!" Mrs. Guo pulled away Jin Ling's hand digging the hole and said, "Just remember whose wife you are. Is Man Sheng good to you?"

"You keep asking this question. It's not a bad idea. Let's just live like that anyway." Jin Ling's drooping eyelids were covered with a layer of gray. "You have been married for four or five months. Why is there no stomach and no movement? Your father has asked me several times, whether he has explained to you what happened in that room. I said why didn't he explain? Before I got married, I Didn’t I tell you? But why doesn’t my belly bulge yet?”

"Then pregnant with a child is not carved wooden dolls, one carved is counted as one? You are too impatient, how long have I been married to Xie's family!"

"You are not afraid of people saying it, but your father and I are! Tell the truth to mother, how often do you and Man Sheng go back to the room together?"

"Mother, why are you asking this..." Jin Ling lowered her head shyly.

"Only our mother and I are here, what can't we ask? Tell mother honestly!"

"Okay."

"Once a few days?"

Jin Ling'er was a little shy, lowered her head and muttered the word "three" from her mouth.Guo's eyes suddenly changed, he patted Jin Ling hard, and said with a fire in his throat: "Stupid girl, is this still a man? Is it just that capable? It really can't be done!"

Jin Ling blushed, twisted her body and said, "What's wrong?"

"My mother is from here, can you not understand? The young man who just got married is hot-blooded, can he be peaceful when he hugs his wife at night? You are calm and didn't mention it to me at all! Let me tell you, this appointment If it's Man Sheng, you should mention it to your mother-in-law later, it happens that your grandma is a medicine woman, so get something for Man Sheng to make up for, otherwise where can I find my grandson?"

"How can I say this easily?" The blush on Jin Ling's face became more and more intense.

"Don't tell me, I'll tell you later, do you still want a grandson? You can't let him delay you, so you don't have to say that our daughter of the Jin family can't bear children! Your sister is not married yet, so word will spread Got it?"

"It's not easy for you to say it, so forget it!"

"It can't be counted, and it's not a trivial matter! Don't worry, I won't say it directly, but say it in a roundabout way. If you don't make your mother-in-law worry too much, that's fine. Let's go, pick up a basket of fruits and vegetables and go to the village." The mother and daughter I picked up some vegetables, potatoes and green beans, and took them to the farm.Along the scattered field ridges, the two walked forward while chatting.At this time, Jin Ling suddenly heard the laughter of a man in front of her, she looked up, and found that there were some men in the village playing with something in the paddy field.She saw Man Ting at first sight.

Man Ting was sitting on the ridge of the field, with his sleeves rolled up behind his back, revealing his slightly copper-colored arms.The muscles on his arms were tense, as if they were about to explode at any moment; he leaned back, and a beam of sunlight sifted through the bamboo branches above his head, and fell lightly on the bridge of his straight nose, like a girl's hand brushing past.At this moment, with a vague smile on his face, he leisurely watched the few people beside him blocking fish in the paddy field.

"Ah!" Jin Ling was so engrossed in watching it that she almost slipped her foot on the ridge.Fortunately, Mrs. Guo grabbed it quickly with both hands, so she didn't fall into the paddy field.

When the men heard Jin Ling's voice, they all turned their heads to take a look, and Man Ting naturally also looked at Jin Ling.When the eyes of the two met, Man Ting nodded slightly to her, which was regarded as a greeting.But her cheeks were flushed, her heart was floating, and there was a smile that was more delicate than a rose flower in the corner of her mouth.

Dongping shook the wet mud off his hands, jokingly said, "Sister-in-law Ling'er, is she going to come down to help us stop the fish? That's not necessary! I've lost my shoes and socks, brother Man Sheng will beat you!"

"This kid has never been honest!" Guo Shi approached and asked while laughing and cursing, "What are you getting? Is there a fish or an eel?"

Haitang laughed and said, "It's blocking fish! Where can rice field eels be eaten at this time of year? It's still like a stick, keep it!"

"Is the fish big? What kind of fish? Grass carp or silver carp?" Guo bent down and looked into the muddy water with greedy eyes, wishing he could go to the field to catch it.

"Look at the back like a grass carp, right Brother Man Ting?" Dongping turned around and asked.

"Well, it seems to be." Man Ting replied lightly.

"Brother Man Ting, why don't you block the fish?" Jin Ling stood three steps away from Man Ting, her eyes glowed, and she said softly, "You want to be lazy? That's not possible!" The tone was like It's like joking with your own family.

"Well, take a break." Man Ting answered briefly, then set his eyes on the paddy fields under Haitang and the others, and stopped talking to Jin Ling.Suddenly, a blue-black back emerged from the muddy yellow muddy water, and Mrs. Guo screamed excitedly: "There! There! At Shunnian's feet! Grab it quickly! You are so stupid! Hurry up! Or run away!" Oh! My hands and feet are so slow, what kind of fish are you eating!"

In a paddy field that is not very spacious, the more people there are, the easier it is for fish to swim.I saw the blue-black back swiftly flashing between the legs like a ghost, and finally rushed to Manting's feet.Guo yelled nervously again: "Quick! Man Ting, come to your place, quick!"

Man Ting suddenly picked up the discarded broken bamboo sticks at hand, and quickly plunged into the water!There was a splash of water, and everyone stopped moving for a moment, staring at the bamboo stick in Man Ting's hand.Mrs. Guo hurriedly asked: "Have you got it? Have you run away? Oh, how can you hit it with that broken bamboo stick? It runs so fast! Do you think you are a magic hand? Oh, ran away again, at noon No fish to eat!"

"Brother Man Ting, did you get hit?" Jin Ling was more nervous than Man Ting.

Man Ting slowly lifted the bamboo piece, and the lower half hit the center of the grass carp's spine, firmly inserted into the ground.Everyone immediately laughed and clapped their hands, praising Man Ting's accuracy.Jin Ling's eyes were filled with ecstatic smiles, she jumped up and clapped her hands and said, "Brother Man Ting, you are really capable!"

Man Ting took the fish from the bamboo slices and threw them on the ridge of the field. He sat down and wiped the muddy water splashed on his face with his hand.Jin Ling hurriedly took out her handkerchief and handed it over, saying, "Brother Man Ting, here, use my handkerchief!"

"No need." Man Ting refused.

"It's okay, just go back and wash it..." Without saying a word, Mrs. Guo quickly grabbed Jin Ling's arm and said: "The whole house has been wiped clean, so you don't need your handkerchief, put it away! Let's have fun! It's over, and we don't have any part in it anyway, so hurry up and go to the village!"

Jin Ling looked at Man Ting reluctantly, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was the man she wanted. He was heroic, calm and quick, and he always gave people a very safe and enjoyable feeling.

Mrs. Guo obviously felt that Jin Ling's eyes were wrong, and hurriedly urged her to leave quickly.At this time, Lihua and Yutao came running along the ridge with fish baskets.Jin Ling didn't know Pear Blossom, so she glanced at it casually, and when she was wondering who it was, Pear Blossom ran past her quickly with a scent, threw herself on the back of Man Ting sitting on the edge of the field, and asked with a smile: " Xie Manting, how many fish are there? Can a fish basket hold it? Is there any eel? I want to eat eel!"

At this moment, Jin Ling seemed to see blood, and was so shocked that she almost cried out.She leaned back slightly, leaned against Guo Shi and shuddered, could this be Brother Man Ting's daughter-in-law Qin Lihua?This woman actually threw herself on Brother Man Ting's back in full view?Is it too presumptuous?Sure enough...it really is...my sister's nature!
Man Ting was suddenly hugged by Li Hua on his back. Although he was a little shy in front of everyone, his heart was warm and sweet.He pointed to the side and said, "There."

"It's only one!" Lihua let go to pick up the fish, but found a scar on the fish's back, and asked, "Is it pierced or blocked? It's just an arrow through the heart!"

Dongping vividly talked about the heroic figure of the courtyard full of fish just now.Lihua asked in surprise: "Really? Then I missed the show! Xie Manting, you are a man!" After she finished speaking, she threw herself on Manting's back and lightly pecked Manting's left cheek.In an instant, the people next to him froze, including Man Ting himself!
