The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 39 Husband and wife
"You child, why are you becoming more and more alienated now as you grow up. I will keep the pheasant and hare you gave me, and you will take back this steamed bun." Simple and honest people always give people inexplicable touch.

"But aunt..." Wan Xiaoliu looked at the steamed bun in his arms and really didn't know what to do.

"Listen to my aunt, take it home and have dinner with that little brother," the aunt asked, "How is he?"

"He's much better." Wan Xiaoliu felt a little disgusted in her heart, and she probably wanted to talk about letting him go again.

"My aunt still said the same thing. If he gets better, let him go. He doesn't belong to us. He will leave sooner or later."

"But auntie, he has lost his memory and doesn't remember anything." Wan Xiaoliu wanted to escape.

"I heard that Mrs. Chunhua wants him to be married. If he agrees, you can let him go." The aunt's words surprised Wan Xiaoliu. The words released by Chunhua's family.

"Well, yes, ma'am, it's getting dark, so I'll go back first." Wan Xiaoliu held the steamed bun in one hand and the frame in the other.

"Okay, you go back quickly, remember what the aunt said. You are my own child. I watched you grow up. You are so cowardly by nature. I am afraid that the little brother will be from some high-ranking official family. When the time comes, there will be three wives in the family." The fourth concubine, it will be hard for you. Besides, now that Miss Chunhua is eyeing her like a tiger, you really need to be careful." The aunt said earnestly.

"Well, thank you, ma'am, I understand the truth, but his health is not fully recovered, and I almost fell from the mountain yesterday, if it wasn't for him, I would be gone now, so I can't bear to let him go." Wan Xiao Liu understands that the aunt is sincerely treating her well.

"Did you get hurt yesterday? Why were you so careless?" The aunt stretched out her hand to take a look at Wan Xiaoliu's sleeve.

"Auntie, it's all right. I'm not hurt, but his hand was cut."

"Hey, you child, you have your own opinions since you were a child, so you can decide for yourself. It's getting dark. Go back quickly."

Wan Xiaoliu came back from his aunt's house, luckily nothing was heavy, but the sky turned dark when it said it was dark, the weather was a bit muggy, and there were no stars or moons in the sky.As soon as he left the village entrance, he couldn't see anything. Wan Xiaoliu, who was night-blind, had to stretch his feet first to make a guess.

"Be careful, there is a ditch!" Wan Xiaoliu paused, his feet dangling in mid-air, and his body fell into someone's broad embrace.

"Why are you here?" Wan Xiaoliu said with a sweet heart.

"It's getting dark, come and take a look before you come back." Wan Mofei took the chicken frame from Wan Xiaoliu's hand and held her hand.

"No, your hand isn't healed yet." Wan Xiaoliu refused to let him hold it.

"It's okay." Wan Mofei's big hand held Wan Xiaoliu's small hand, palms touching.

"Auntie caught four chicks, so cute. She also took a lot of steamed buns. Can we eat steamed buns at night? It's still hot." Wan Xiaoliu put the steamed buns on his nose and smelled them, they smelled so good.

"Yes." Wan Mofei didn't seem to refute anything Wan Xiaoliu said.

The two chatted as they walked, mostly Wan Xiaoliu was talking, and Wan Mofei was listening.

The two are like lovers, intimate and moving forward hand in hand.Wan Mofei is always in a trance for a certain moment, such simple happiness seems illusory.

At the door of the house, Wan Mofei asked Wan Xiaoliu to wait outside, went in and lit the lamp, put it on the table, and then let Wan Xiaoliu in.

Wan Xiaoliu released the chick and sprinkled a lot of rice on the ground. The four cute little guys may have just arrived in a new environment, or they may be missing their mother.

"Are you saying they can't see them at night?" Wan Xiaoliu asked Wan Mofei who was squatting on the ground looking at the chicks like her.

"Well, it's possible." Wan Mofei replied.

"Hey, well, lock it up first, and release it tomorrow." Wan Xiaoliu caught the chick into the cage again.

"Heat up the leftovers in the morning, and eat them with steamed buns." Wan Mofei lit the pot, Wan Xiaoliu cleaned the pot, poured the vegetables into the pot, added some water, put the chopsticks on top of the dishes, and put the aunt Put the steamed buns on the chopsticks and steam them again.

"When I go to the market, I go to the blacksmith shop and ask him to build a kettle for me to boil water directly, so that we can still boil water when cooking in the pot. The pheasants and hares should be put in the well at night, not overnight. It’s broken. Get it tomorrow. Hey, why isn’t there a refrigerator?” Wan Xiaoliu remembered that era again.

"What is a refrigerator? Where can I buy it?" Wan Mofei asked Wan Xiaoliu.

"Uh... a refrigerator... just as the name suggests, it's a big box that can freeze things." Wan Xiaoliu was thinking about how to explain.

"Oh." Wan Mofei nodded thoughtfully.

"In summer, things won't go bad if you put them in the refrigerator. But I have an ancient well at home, and the effect is better than the refrigerator. Next time we cook mung bean soup, we can put it in the well. The mung bean soup will be very cold and comfortable to drink." Wan Xiao Six changed the subject of the refrigerator.

"Yeah." Wan Mofei nodded.

"I think we're going to step on the grass in the field, I have to go and have a look tomorrow." Wan Xiaoliu liked the taste of the tea, so he drank water whenever he had nothing to do.

"I'll go to the fields in the future." Wan Mofei said to Wan Xiaoliu.

"No, you haven't recovered yet, let's talk about it when you recover." Wan Xiaoliu didn't understand his own feelings anymore, and really wanted to hide him at home so that no one else could see him.In the eyes of outsiders, he will always be hurt.

"It's already done. If I stay here, I will do things. From now on, you will do things at home, and I will do things outside." Wan Mofei seemed to be talking about something very ordinary.

"Oh." Wan Xiaoliu was tired of sweetness in his heart.

"Hey, when will you teach me martial arts? How do I start?" Wan Xiaoliu was still thinking about it.

"Wait a little longer. I'll check your pulse. Your body is not suitable yet. You need to gain some weight. You are too thin. I will go hunting when I have nothing to do. You should eat more." Wan Mofei took two pairs of chopsticks and put them on the table , put the steamed buns and vegetables on the table, Wan Xiaoliu washed the pot, added water and boiled it for a bath.

"What, I'm in good health." Wan Xiaoliu protested.

"I'll teach you a set of inner thoughts later on, practice first and then talk." Wan Mofei looked at Wan Xiaoliu's pursed mouth, and really wanted to reach out and pinch it.

"Okay then, let's start." Wan Xiaoliu scooped up some vegetables and soup in the bowl, tore up the steamed buns bit by bit and soaked them into the soup, and waited until the steamed buns were covered with soup before putting them into his mouth. Nodding: "This is delicious, try it."

As Wan Xiaoliu said, he tore up the steamed bun in his hand and put it into Wan Mofei's bowl.

It's a pity that Wan Xiaoliu didn't see Wan Mofei showing a row of white teeth, this guy smiled extremely happily.

"Isn't it delicious?" Wan Xiaoliu was quite confident in his creativity.
