Flowers are expensive

Chapter 77
"Me?" Mo Xiang pointed to herself and asked.

Tian Yisheng glanced at her, and asked, "Who asked me to make a stone mill?" She nodded, walked to the desk, held the wooden handle and tried to turn the small stone mill a few times, and said, "It seems that there is no It fits well, and it takes a little effort to use, but let’s do it.”

"It's not good, it's not good, don't say it will be done."

"It's just that it can be used anyway, and it doesn't matter..."

"It's not something to be particular about." Tian Yisheng turned over the upper part of the small stone mill, and lowered his head to check.

"Oh, it's not a matter of refinement, what is it?"

"If you want to do it, you have to do it well, otherwise don't do it." Tian Yisheng's tone was a bit admonishing.This immediately stimulated Mo Xiang, and she replied reflexively: "How about you carve some patterns on it, it will be easy to use and look good!"

"Then it's superfluous!" Tian Yisheng dismissed it rudely.

Mo Xiang was at a loss, what is superfluous?Call her a snake?Or call her a pig?How can children who have never learned idioms understand this word!Anger suddenly surged in her eyes, she pouted and glared at Dr. Tian, ​​and just as she turned to leave, Tian Yisheng said something behind her: "I didn't scold you."

She stopped, turned around, and asked with suspicion still on her face, "Really? What does that mean?"

"Doing superfluous things to ruin the original good things is just superfluous."

"Foot? Isn't it a pig?" Mo Xiang asked seriously.Tian Yisheng's mouth trembled, he almost laughed, staring at her and asked: "Why should I call you a pig?"

"Hahaha..." Man Xiang didn't have such good self-control, and laughed while lying on the desk.Mo Xiang was so embarrassed that she thumped Man Xiang twice and said, "Little uncle, don't laugh! Don't laugh!"

"Moxiang," Man Xiang said with a smile covering his stomach, "it seems that you really should learn two more words from my sister-in-law, or else you will be wronged and die."

Mo Xiang couldn't help but blush, and he thumped Man Xiang again and said, "I can't read, how do I know if he's talking about feet or pigs? But, what are feet?"

"A foot is a foot." Tian Yisheng replied while polishing the stone ground.

"What have snakes to do with feet?"

"Do snakes have feet, Xie Moxiang?" Tian Yisheng raised his eyelids and asked her.

"Snake?" Mo Xiang thought for a while, clapped her hands suddenly, pointed at Tian Yisheng and said with a smile, "Oh! A snake has no feet, wouldn't it become a gecko if you add feet?"

The two little boys looked at each other, one smiled subtly, and the other rolled over with laughter.Mo Xiang looked at Tian Yisheng in surprise, thinking that this dead guy can also laugh?Ever since I was a child, my aunt has never seen him smile!However, he is very pretty when he smiles, like a breeze blowing through the wheat seedlings that have just been pumped green.

Tian Yisheng suddenly raised his eyelids and looked at Moxiang again, and Moxiang realized that he had been staring at her all along!She quickly moved her eyes away and looked at the bookshelf.She was really curious about it, and it wasn't until later that she realized why she was so interested in the bookshelves in the first place.

Tian Yisheng caught a glimpse of her eyes, put down his work, went to the bookshelf and took some papers and handed them to her.She took it over and saw that the paper was full of square characters, and she didn't recognize any of them.She looked at Tian Yisheng blankly and asked, "What do you mean?" "Your fourth aunt asked me to write some common words, the simplest ones."

"Oh, Fourth Aunt asked you to write it..." Mo Xiang suddenly rolled her eyelids and looked at Tian Yisheng dissatisfiedly with puffed up cheeks.This time, Tian Yisheng was more at a loss than her, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you have to say the simplest three words?" Mo Xiang's most sensitive nerve was poked again.

"Originally, I can write these characters at the age of three." "Oh! Tian Yisheng, are you showing me that you know a lot of words?"

"It's not showing off, it's the truth." Tian Yisheng replied solemnly.

"If I had learned to read in elementary school, I might be able to write at the age of three!" Mo Xiang argued unconvinced.Tian Yisheng tilted his head, looked at her thoughtfully and said, "When you were three years old? I remember that you didn't seem to have time to read, but hugged the walnut tree in our yard, crying Eat walnuts. It was cold winter, where did you get walnuts for you to eat?" Mo Xiang was instantly embarrassed, what else is going on?Why can't I remember doing such a shameful thing in Tian's yard?

"Really, Yi Sheng?" Man Xiang asked immediately, "Did she eat walnuts then?"

"No, it's winter, where can I find walnuts for her to eat. But she just hugged our walnut tree and cried for a long time. Finally, my grandpa took a dried fish to coax her. Let's go At that time, while wiping tears, he said to my grandfather: 'Don't allow the walnuts to fall, only when I come.'”

Mo Xiang weathered instantly, and looked at Tian Yisheng with incredulous eyes. Could it be that this dead guy just made up something?Where did I hold his walnut tree so shamelessly and cry so hard?

"Hahaha..." Man Xiang patted the table and laughed loudly, "Why did she tell Grandpa Tian that?" "Because my grandpa coaxed her, saying that the walnuts were not yet ripe, and would fall by themselves when they were ripe. She believed it was true." .”

"Hahaha... Xie Moxiang, did you do such a thing when you were young?" Man Xiang laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

Mo Xiang blushed, stomped her feet and said, "Tian Yisheng, Tian Daxiu, you made it up, right? How old were you at that time? Remember this? Five years old at most!" Tian Yisheng said calmly. Said: "Would you like to ask my grandpa later?"

"I..." Mo Xiang was extremely embarrassed, and couldn't help but see herself crying while hugging the roots of Tian's walnut tree, and was also seen by Tian Yisheng, who was only five years old at the time, thinking about finding a hole in the ground Get in and never come out for the rest of your life!
"You have done unreasonable things in my house, and that's not the only time. Don't stare so wide and suspect that I'm making it up. If you don't believe me, just ask my grandpa." Tian Yisheng looked at Moxiang with a half-smile and said.

"Did Mo Xiang often come to your house when she was a child?" Man Xiang asked curiously. "Well, I heard from my grandfather that he seemed to like to come here when he was two or three years old. At first, he was like a robber, saying that our corn is hers, our dried fish is hers, and our stones are also hers. , I..." Tian Yisheng endured these words and did not say, "Anyway, every time I come here, I will carry something with me, even a small stone."

"No!" Mo Xiang was already in a hurry, slapped the table and shouted at him in disbelief, "You made it up, right? Why don't I remember? My mother didn't tell me either!" "

That's how old are you?What can you remember when you were two or three years old?Still want to hear it?Too much! "

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Man Xiang hurriedly urged. "Don't say it! Don't say it!" Mo Xiang was so anxious that she jumped up, like a rabbit, slapping the table while jumping.

The three of them were laughing and laughing in the room. Grandpa Tian and Man Ting Haitang, who were chatting in the yard, looked over there curiously.Hai Tang asked with a smile: "Is this two boys bullying Mo Xiang together? Mo Xiang is already making a fuss."

Grandpa Tian said with a smile on his face: "It's rare that Yisheng doesn't mind being noisy, let them make noise. Our yard is so clean, even magpies and crows don't pass by here!"

Haitang said: "That's because Yi Sheng is so quiet, how many students like to make trouble? It's just that he has been too quiet these years, and his temper is really withdrawn."

Grandpa Tian restrained his smile, sighed, shook his head and said: "Isn't it? The older I get, the more I keep my temper. When I was young, I would accompany us to a relative or something. He spends his days in his pile of books, or else he plays with woodcarving, and doesn't like to play with the children of the same age in the village. After counting and counting, only Man Xiang can say a few words to him. "

"Man Xiang is a restless person, similar to Mo Xiang. When the two of them come here today, they must have a quarrel that makes life difficult!"

"I'd rather be arguing," said Grandpa Tian with a smile, "Tell him to talk to others more, so as not to keep everything in his mind. I also have selfish intentions in inviting you to dinner today, and I just want you two to persuade Yi for me. Sheng, don't be engaged to the Jin family." Haitang was a little surprised, and asked, "Is it Yi Sheng's own idea?"

"Yeah, for this matter, his grandma and I spent a lot of time persuading him, but he just didn't listen. We also understand what he is thinking, but seeing him go through a hard life, the two of us are not at ease when we are free. Ah! Tell me, is that the reason? Which grandparents don’t want their grandchildren to have a good life? We are all half-buried people, and we have wiped out most of our lives if we lived well. Ke Yisheng He’s only 17 years old, and the days ahead are long! I’ve thought about it, and there’s no other way, and in this village he’s only afraid he can listen to you two, so he brought you two here.”

"Don't worry, Grandpa Tian, ​​we will try to persuade him in a while."

"Thank you very much then!" Grandpa Tian said and got up, "I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready, please sit down for a while."

After Grandpa Tian left, Haitang sighed and said, "Yi Sheng is also very powerful, so he sold himself to the Jin family. If you say we persuade him, will he listen?" Thinking about this.He took a sip of tea and said, "Persuade to death."

"Ah? What do you mean by that?"

"Yi Sheng has read a lot of books, and he probably knows more about those empty principles than you and I. If we want to reason with him again, it will be a waste of time."

"Unreasonable, talk about fists? He can't even beat Man Xiang? Tell me, what do you mean by persuading him to death?"

Just as Man Ting was about to speak, there was a knock on the courtyard door.Haitang got up and went over to open the door to see, it turned out to be Mrs. Guo!He froze for a moment, and before he could speak, Guo pushed him away and walked in with a smile, "Hey, you haven't eaten yet! That's just in time!"

Guo's voice quickly spread to every corner of the yard.In the kitchen, Grandpa Tian and Grandma Lin looked at each other in surprise, put down their work and walked out.

Holding something in his hand, Mrs. Guo walked towards Grandpa Tian and his wife with a smile on his face and said, "It seems that I brought it right! In the afternoon, my eldest and second child went for a walk around the mountain. Luckily, I hunted I picked up two wild rabbits! I heard that your family is going to have a treat tonight, so I brought them here specially for you." She said and forced the basket into Grandma Lin's hands, as if she would not take it back.

"Oh, it's not very good!" Grandma Lin hurriedly gave way.

"What's wrong? We're about to become in-laws, and you still care about this little thing with me? Originally, my family planned to invite you to dinner tonight. The family is renovating the house for Yi Sheng and Jin Xiu's marriage. What! Coincidentally, you invited the Manting and Haitang families again, not to disturb your happiness, so you sent two hares here! Keep it away, don’t be polite to my future in-laws!”

Haitang's nasal cavity was flushed, he shook his shoulders, and said in a low voice, "I haven't decided on my in-laws yet, so I'm going to be my future in-laws? This Aunt Guo's face is not much better than Sister-in-Law Xiao's!"

Grandpa Tian was angry and embarrassed, and didn't know what to do for a moment.Guo asked again with a smile: "Where's Yi Sheng? Why didn't he come out to say hello when I came? Isn't this kid still studying? I'll go take a look!"
