Flowers are expensive

Chapter 71 What about the small stone mill? 2
"Hmph," Man Xiang said dryly, "Xie Moxiang, if you want to marry Tian Yisheng, can't you catch him and bully you? Why don't you want to marry him?"

"I didn't marry a man to bully him!" Mo Xiang said confidently, "Then I didn't marry a wife to bully her!" Man Xiang said more confidently than Mo Xiang.

"Stop!" Li Hua made a pause gesture and smiled, "Stop arguing, I understand, both of you have a strong taste, and you like to have nothing to do, right?" "What is nothing to do, Fourth aunt?" Mo Xiang asked.

"It's just a good life, but if you have to find someone to toss you around, then you will feel at ease." The two stopped talking, lowering their heads as if seriously thinking about whether the definition of self-abuse is suitable for them.At this time, Manting opened the door and came in.Man Xiang was taken aback, and when he was about to get up, Man Ting patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go on, just pretend I'm not here."

"Fourth brother..." Man Xiang's face was slightly red, and he was a little embarrassed to talk about the girl's love there in front of his brother.

Man Ting smiled faintly, sat on the bamboo recliner in front of the window, closed his eyes and meditated.Li Hua touched Mo Xiang with her arm and said, "Go on!"

"Oh, by the way, fourth aunt, what did I say just now?"

"Amused Xining's words."

"Yes, yes, we made fun of Xining's words. We didn't expect it to be the little uncle, who made us laugh to death! Then we asked Qiaozhen, Dong'er, and Yutao was the last one. I was asking Yutao, Qiao Jane's mother came to look for her, so we had to break up. Yutao and I were the last ones, so I asked her casually, and what do you think she said?"

Man Xiang wanted to strangle Mo Xiang to death, and asked anxiously, "How do you say it?" Mo Xiang smiled mysteriously, and said, "In the end, she turned her face and said to me in a serious manner: 'Good sister, don't grab me. A man!' Do you understand?"

Man Xiang suddenly felt ecstatic, then disappointed again, and asked Mo Xiang with a puzzled face: "Who taught Yutao that? Was her brain caught by the door? What kind of rules is that?" Mo Xiang said helplessly. Said: "Yutao, like Uncle Cailuo, is very loyal."

"What kind of loyalty does she talk about as a girl? Her brother led her into ruin!" Man Xiang's eyes widened, and he forgot that Man Ting was still sitting next to him. Sure enough, the power of love is great!
Man Ting almost burst out laughing, Li Hua stopped him while laughing and said, "Keep your voice down, are you afraid that the people below won't hear you? You broke my table and you can make one for me!"

"That dead peach! I'm so mad! Don't talk, I'll go down first!"

"Where's my cabin?" "Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Man Xiang slid downstairs angrily.Lihua and Moxiang chatted for a while about repairing the wooden house and picking hollyhocks, and then Moxiang sneaked away
Downstairs.

"What are the hollyhock flowers used for?" Man Ting asked, leaning on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed.

"It's for rouge." Lihua stretched, walked over and sat on the wooden floor, lying on Manting's lap, and couldn't help yawning. "You and Mo Xiang have been busy with this these two days?" Man Ting's fingers stroked the bangs on Li Hua's forehead twice.

"Well," Lihua said, playing with her long fingers, "it's not easy to pick flowers home. Others will ask questions and make irresponsible remarks when they see it, so I just want to be in that area." A small wooden house has been built next to the hollyhocks as a workshop. In the future, I will go there to make rouge and apply powder, which is convenient and quiet.”

"Can Manxiang do it alone?"

"It shouldn't be a problem, right? Don't you still have Moxiang? Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I'll ask you to go."

The two of them stopped talking, Man Ting closed his eyes, and put his palm lightly on Li Hua's ear.Lihua played with her fingers irregularly around Manting's fingers, one sitting and the other lying on her stomach, as if enjoying the silence of this moment.In fact, isn't that how the two cuddled until they turned white?Manting found that he was no longer afraid of the silence of the night, but instead had a sense of happiness that was so peaceful in his heart.

After an unknown period of time, Manting suddenly felt that Lihua's fingers hadn't moved, so he opened his eyes and looked down, and couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Lihua had fallen asleep lying on his lap.This girl looked really tired, usually she would chatter for at least half an hour before making a fuss about going to bed, but today she fell asleep first.

Man Ting bent down and asked softly, "Are you really asleep?"

"Hmm..." Lihua replied in a daze, and pinched the three fingers of Manting's right hand reflexively, as if she was holding something that could reassure her.This made Manting very satisfied, a kind of satisfaction of being needed.He pursed his lips and smiled, bent down and picked up Lihua from the ground, turned around and went to sleep.

When he was about to blow out the lamp, Man Ting took out a booklet under the pillow, which contained some methods and steps of making makeup written by Lihua.He briefly flipped through a few pages, and a feeling of melancholy came to his mind suddenly.

In fact, he never knew why he could read and write well. He didn't tell anyone in his family, including Lihua.No one in the village could understand Tian Yisheng's sacrificial oration, but he was the only one who could understand the whole content.He knew that he must have studied, but he couldn't remember where he studied, in the barracks?Seems unlikely.

After closing the pages of the book, he blew on the lamp, and the room became silent again.He didn't want to think about these questions for the time being, anyway, with Lihua by his side...

From the second day on, Man Xiang began to find excuses to slip away from the field and help Li Hua and Mo Xiang repair the wooden house.Man Xiang is also a quick worker. In less than three days, a simple but sheltered log cabin was repaired.

Then, Lihua and Moxiang secretly moved some utensils for making makeup into the small wooden house, only a small stone mill was missing.The stone mills at home are large and heavy, and Lihua needs a small stone mill for grinding rice noodles.

One day, when the two were worrying about the small stone mill, Man Xiang came.Excited like a child, he wandered around the cabin a few times and said, "The layout of the fourth aunt really looks like a small workshop."

"It looks like it, but there is still a small stone mill." Lihua said.

"Small stone mill? There is one at home, but if you take it, it will be troublesome if you find it."

"Exactly," Lihua nodded and asked, "Is there no one in this village who can make it? Stone mills are also made by people, right?"

Man Xiang suddenly grinned, glanced at Mo Xiang, and said to Li Hua: "Sister-in-law Si, there is someone who can do it."

"Who?"

"Grandpa Tian, ​​when he was young, he was a stonemason in the village. He made many stone mills in the village. It's not a problem to ask him to make a small stone mill, right? Xie Moxiang," Man Xiang asked with a smirk on his face. You know about it, didn't you tell Sisao?"

"Oh," Mo Xiang said calmly, "I know, I know, but you also said that it was when Grandpa Tian was young, and now his eyesight is bad, and his legs and feet are not good, can he still do it? ?”

"You don't want to go to Tian's house, do you? Do you hate Tian Yisheng so much?" Man Xiang asked with great interest, "Where did Tian Yisheng offend you?"

"I want you to take care of it!" Mo Xiang glared at Man Xiang and said, "I will think of a way about the little stone mill."

"No way, Moxiang," Lihua interjected, "The rice has been soaked for six days, and after two days, if the sourness is enough, it must be ground, otherwise the best opportunity will be missed. So , I must find the small stone mill in these two days. Otherwise, if you don’t want to go, then I will go to find Grandpa Tian, ​​and I have met him before.”

"Bold--little--ghost!" Man Xiang yelled in a strange tone.

Mo Xiang was about to kick Man Xiang, but Man Xiang hurriedly hid behind Li Hua, pointed at her and said, "Xie Mo Xiang, there are no rules? How dare you do anything to your elders?"

"What kind of elder? Isn't it just two months older than me?" Mo Xiang said unconvinced.

"I was born ten years later than you, and I'm still your elder, and I'm your little uncle, hehe!" Man Xiang shook his head triumphantly.

"Okay, I'll tell Yutao later, get engaged early, don't fall in love with my little uncle, it's not a good thing!"

"Hey, Xie Moxiang, isn't it as bad as you?" Seeing that the two ancestors were about to quarrel again, Lihua hurriedly shouted: "Stop, stop! Now is the time to look for stone mills, not to quarrel. Moxiang, you really don't want to Go, I'll just go."

Man Xiang smiled at Li Hua and said, "Sister-in-law Si, I will accompany you and let that coward go home and stay!" Mo Xiang pushed Man Xiang, and said angrily, "Who is a coward? No Is it the Tian family? Who dares to go?" After she finished speaking, she shook her head and dragged Lihua away.Lihua turned her head and shouted to Man Xiang: "Remember, lock the door!"

"Understood! You go!" Man Xiang looked at Mo Xiang's back with a smirk on his face, and muttered, "Tian Yisheng, Tian Yisheng, I can only help you here. Alas... I really want to break my head I can't even figure it out, what's so good about our family's Moxiang? You can also like it?"

After leaving the cabin, Lihua and Moxiang went directly to Tian's house.The two were walking on the field ridge, when Wu Matchmaker's voice suddenly came from behind: "Hey, aren't these two beautiful girls and daughter-in-laws from the Xie family? Where are they going?"

Lihua turned her head and smiled politely at her and said, "Go to Tian's house, where is Wu matchmaker going?" Wu matchmaker held Lihua's hand very attentively and smiled, "What a coincidence! I'm going to Tian's house too, so it turns out that Go the same way!"

Lihua thought for a while and asked, "Is it for Tian Yisheng and Jin Xiu's marriage?" Matchmaker Wu smiled heartily and said, "This story has already spread? Oh, hey, it will be a matter of time! Who will get it?" That good son-in-law of Yi Sheng doesn’t make noises everywhere? Maybe the whole Zique Mountain Realm knows about it? You’re right, I sent the Tian family a post today.”

"Does the horoscope match?" Lihua asked casually.

Before Matchmaker Wu could speak, Mo Xiang said coldly: "If you don't get along, you have to get along. Miao Zhu is based on money, and those who restrain their wives and sons can be said to be rich and powerful. Jin Xiu wants to marry Tian Yisheng and wants to go crazy. , Matchmaker Wu, do you dare to say no?"

"Yo yo, Mo Xiang, your little mouth is really poisonous!" Wu Matchmaker smiled, "Do you still know about our matchmaking business? Do you want me to be your master? I see that you are a little wise."

"Forget it," Mo Xiang waved his hands indifferently, "I always like to break up marriages, and I don't have the time to run marriages for others. I'd better learn from my ancestors and become a medicine woman! I can't do what you do. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Yisheng bent over and got out of his bamboo forest, and when he looked up, he saw Mo Xiang.Moxiang avoided her eyes naturally, touched Lihua with her arm and said, "Fourth Aunt, go in and talk, I'll wait for you at the door." Lihua suddenly felt that the aura of the two people was a bit wrong, especially when Tian Yisheng saw it. Mo Xiang's eyes looked cold, as if she was going to eat Mo Xiang, but it was difficult for her to ask in front of Matchmaker Wu.

"Yi Sheng, congratulations!" Wu Matchmaker's voice was like a magpie, and she cupped her hands to greet her, "Oh, I was so happy for a while, but I forgot to call Master Xiucai! Master Xiucai, congratulations, the post of Bazi I brought it here, and I’m co-authoring it! It’s a perfect match! Can you see it for yourself?”

Tian Yisheng didn't show much joy, his eyes drooped, he bent down and picked up the two bamboo shoots at his feet, and said indifferently, "Tell me to grandpa, don't look at it."
