Flowers are expensive

Chapter 58

At this time, Jin Xiu's voice sounded outside the courtyard.Aunt Xie hurriedly left the kitchen and greeted Jin Xiu to go.Mrs. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled at Lihua: "You are really brave. You are going to beat the Nyonya in a hurry. You should stop talking about Moxiang's affairs, and don't say that the son-in-law is not coming. , the Xie family can't afford to support so many people, and they wish to have a few less, so how could they be willing to add another one."

Lihua glanced at the tearful and aggrieved Zhenshi and said: "But what mother said is right, who will the eldest brother and sister-in-law rely on? The daughter will always belong to another family when she marries. If you want to keep Moxiang by your side for the elderly, you have to find someone else." The door-to-door son-in-law is."

"Unless..." Mrs. Zhuang looked at Lihua hesitantly.

"Unless what?" Zhuang's eyeballs rolled and he spit out two words: "Separation!"

"Separate?"

"Well," Mrs. Zhuang glanced outside, and whispered to Lihua, "If you don't separate the family, who wants to be crowded by more than one person in this yard? If the family is separated, Moxiang's marriage will naturally be left alone. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are the masters. At that time, you can recruit whoever you like, and you can’t bear anyone’s business. However, if you want to separate the family, you have to pass the test of grandma first, and then you have parents, so one word: difficult!"

"Forget it," said Zhen, wiping away her tears, "what are you talking about with Lihua? She has just entered the house, so does she dare to talk about splitting up the family? What's more, the whole family belongs to the village, so even if the family splits up, it will be split up." Not much."

Mrs. Zhuang hurriedly laughed and said, "Shouldn't I just talk about it casually? Lihua, don't worry too much, I don't want you to mention the separation of the family. Mother doesn't like you, so you will be scolded even more if you talk about it!" "

"It's okay, second sister-in-law, I don't care too much." Lihua looked at Zhuang with a smile, thinking that this second sister-in-law is really good at talking. She obviously wanted to separate the family, but she didn't mention it in front of her mother-in-law. To mention it by myself, I have more eyes than Zhenshi.

"Fourth Aunt," Mo Xiang suddenly ran in and said with a smile, "just now Jin Xiu came to tell Mother that you will go to the Spring Festival with Brother Man Ting tomorrow!"

"Really?" Lihua was not surprised at all, because she had expected it earlier.

"Jin Xiu came here for this purpose. Not only you, but Aunt Hongling, Uncle Haitang's daughter-in-law, will also come. Now, the village officially recognizes you." Mo Xiang said happily.

After dinner, Lihua and Manting went back to the attic.Manting noticed an extra clay pot in the corner of the room, and asked, "Did you bring all the kimchi here?" Lihua smiled and said, "That's not kimchi, it's the rice I soaked."

"Do you want to make rice wine? No need, I still have the peach blossom rice wine made by grandma." "It's not for rice wine, it's for powder coating."

"Powdering? You know how to make this kind of thing?" "Yeah!" Sitting in front of Man Ting, Lihua nodded and said, "I can't think of it? I'm a master at making makeup! I've thought about it, and I'm idle anyway. , it’s better to make some cosmetics and sell them in the town or in the city. After saving money, first redeem ourselves, and then go out to buy medicinal materials and flowers from the field, in that way, our life will be better and better!”

Seeing the yearning look on Li Hua's face, Man Ting was suddenly hit by something, a little sour and warm at the same time.Is this woman planning a future for herself and the two of them?If you are so careful, how can you not be moved?

"What's the matter, Mr. Xie?" Lihua stretched out her hand to hold the face of the whole court and asked with a smile, "Don't you believe me?"

"No, I was quite surprised." Man Ting took Li Hua's hand and said, "You don't blame me, do you?"

"What's your fault?"

"Since I came back here, I haven't thought about long-term things. I just want to live a peaceful life. After I got married with you, I also thought about it, but there are still some things in my mind that I can't understand. Maybe I You don't quite understand what you're saying, do you?"

"It doesn't matter, if you don't understand, just leave it to me!" Lihua patted her chest and smiled, "Didn't I tell you? My sister is responsible for you to the end! Naturally, you have to be responsible for your body, mind and body to the end! Just wait and see. , sister will support you from feet to hair sooner or later, hehe..."

When Pear Blossom smiles, it doesn't make people feel disgusted, but adds a bit of cuteness.She also clenched her pink fist, raised it next to her head and smiled twice: "Xie Manting, do you know what this is called?"

"I don't know." Man Ting replied while looking at her tenderly.

"This is called a beckoning cat. Look, the hands are moving back and forth like this, as if they are seducing the God of Wealth, blinking their eyes twice, and saying to the God of Wealth: 'Hurry up, hurry up, take the gold. Bring all the silver and jewels to me, and I will give you a sweet kiss!"'"

"Hahaha..." Manting couldn't hold back, bent down and laughed.This girl is so cute that she even wants to seduce the God of Wealth.Seeing her money-obsessed appearance, Man Ting suddenly felt that there was nothing unhappy in this world.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious." Lihua opened her big black eyes, patted her chest and said, "From now on, I will be our family's beckoning cat, and I will let the God of Wealth take all the gold, silver and jewelry. Send it to our house! How about it, Xie Manting?"

"Well, I believe it." Man Ting involuntarily stretched out his hand and pulled Li Hua into his arms.He has never been a proactive person, but recently he found that he has become more and more proactive towards Lihua, probably because of this girl's infection.

Lihua sat on his lap, with one arm around his neck, talking about her five-year plan in an orderly manner, eloquently.As he listened, he looked at the person in his arms thoughtfully, thinking that since when, he had gotten used to Lihua's talkativeness, and would be made to laugh out loud from time to time.

When the Xie family all went back to their houses to rest, there was occasional laughter from the attic.Although he had already lowered his voice, because the attic was at the highest point of the entire yard, the laughter spread out in the yard as soon as the wind passed.

When Man Sheng fetched water from the kitchen, he faintly heard laughter, and looked curiously at the attic.After returning to the house, he handed the water to Jin Ling'er and said to himself: "It seems that Qin Lihua really has some skills!" Jin Ling'er frowned, and asked displeasedly: "What? ability?"

"What else can you do? Isn't it just the ability to tease men? Go out and listen-oh, your foot is hurt and you can't get out." When Man Sheng said these words, there was a little dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Listen to what?"

"Here!" Man Sheng pointed in the direction of the attic, "The couple didn't know what to say up there, and Man Ting actually laughed out loud. I've been with him for more than two years, but I've never heard him laugh out loud. In this way, do you think Qin Lihua has the ability to hook up with men?"

There was a flash of fire in Jin Ling'er's eyes, and she held the drinking bowl tightly with both hands, as if the happy laughter of the whole court really sounded in her ears.She suddenly raised her head and scolded Man Sheng: "You just go to eavesdrop on how the couple laugh when you have nothing to do? Why don't you think about how to move to the town if you have this spare time! I don't want to stay here anymore, I live with a sister Together, it's so dirty! Xie Mansheng, tell me, when can we move to the town?"

"Oh, what's the hurry? If you want to move, it doesn't mean you just move. Can you move away from home easily without a good reason? Besides, you have to buy a house in the town." "Wait Now that you buy the house, I'm afraid I'm going to be a mother-in-law soon!" Jin Ling'er said sourly to Man Sheng.

Seeing that Jin Ling'er was really angry, Man Sheng hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed and said flatteringly, "I know you don't like living under the same roof with Qin Lihua, and I don't want to either! Look at this big family crowded together What kind of business is it? In the future, you will add a few more children to me, how many more will Qin Lihua give birth to, and this small courtyard will not be crowded like a pile of sweet potatoes? Put up a house, tidy it up, and set up a tofu stall in front of the door, so that we can seriously talk to our parents about moving to the town. Otherwise, they will be unhappy!"

"Then just divide the family!" Jin Ling'er said angrily.

"Grandpa had something to say before he left. As long as grandma is here, the family cannot be divided!"

"Why?" Jin Ling'er asked in puzzlement, "Other families don't have such rules! What kind of rules do you Xie Jiaxing have? Even if the family is separated, grandma will still follow her parents. According to the rules of the village, After the eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, parents will naturally live with the second brother and second sister-in-law. Grandma doesn’t mean that there is no one to raise her, does she? At that time, we will add some rice and diesel to each house every year, so we can live on. ?"

Man Sheng shook his head repeatedly and said: "You don't understand, no one in the family dare not listen to what grandpa says. Even if the old man has passed away, no matter how much my mother loves you, as long as grandma is here, grandpa's words are king. Don't you know that my grandpa How good is my relationship with my grandma."

Jin Ling'er shook her eyebrows in disdain and said: "How good can it be? Isn't it a childhood sweetheart? There are too many childhood sweethearts in this village!" Man Sheng rubbed Jin Ling'er's chin twice, and said with a smile : "Speaking of which, the two of us count too!"

"No seriousness!" Jin Ling'er patted his hand away and said, "Tell me!" "I really don't know exactly how their son was treated when they were young. At that time, there was no me, no father and Mother! Anyway, I heard from my mother that grandpa and grandma went out to the mountains together in the early years, and stayed outside for about ten years before returning to the village. Grandpa once mentioned to dad that they almost died outside I can’t come back. So, you can probably imagine how the two of them spent those ten years together, what’s the word for it? What kind of husband and wife?” Man Sheng scratched his head in his nearly empty brain think word.

Jin Ling'er rolled her eyes and said, "It's a couple in need!"

"Yes! That's the word, couples in need! Therefore, the relationship between grandpa and grandma is much better than other people. Although I also want to separate, grandpa left a message before he left, saying that grandma has suffered with him in this life, You have to enjoy the blessings, otherwise he will not let us unworthy descendants go under the Nine Springs. Listen, do you think my grandpa will come up in the middle of the night to talk to you about ghosts? Just bear with it and take it one step at a time."

Jin Ling'er shivered all over, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I'm quite envious of grandma, although I don't like her very much."

"Why?" "There is a man who still thinks about her until the moment he dies. She should be content."

Man Sheng approached Jin Ling'er and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements for you when I die."

"Go!" Jin Ling'er pushed Man Sheng and said, "What are you talking about dying? Go to bed quickly, and you have to go to the Spring Festival tomorrow morning!"

"By the way, just now, mother said, did you prepare any dishes for this year's spring festival?"

"No, everything is the same. The village has those vegetables every year. I'm afraid the Zique Mountain God is tired of eating them." Jin Ling'er answered and rolled her eyelids to the closed window, because that Outside the window is a small attic full of people.She lay down feeling very uncomfortable, thinking that Brother Man Ting really likes Qin Lihua that much?
The next day is a big day in the village, slightly inferior to the Chinese New Year.Aunt Xie got up very early, and incidentally quarreled with her daughters-in-law, except for Jin Ling'er.

Lihua hasn't woken up yet, curled up in Manting's arms, hiding under the blanket and not wanting to get up.Man Ting lightly patted her on the back and said with a smile: "Wake up, mother has called you for the third time." She yawned, stretched long, and muttered: "Spring Festival Well, what are you doing like it’s New Year’s Eve?”
