peasant young lady

Chapter 113

Seeing Grandpa Lizheng's gentle and kind look, Cheng Xia no longer hesitated, just shook his head and said, "Grandpa Lizheng, Cheng Qiu was indeed trying to harm me at the time, but nothing happened, and those gangsters didn't touch her. "

Cheng Er's family patted her thighs happily, she was unwilling to come after hearing Tian's said that she would come to ask girl Xia, and she always found excuses to find things to shirk, because she was afraid that Cheng Xia, a girl, would hold grudges and deliberately slander Cheng Qiu.Just now, when Lizheng said that, she couldn't help feeling uneasy, but it turned out that this girl didn't hold any grudges, which really made her very happy.

Aunt Tian gave Cheng Xia a bitter look, and Li Zheng immediately yelled, "What are you doing looking at Xia girl like this, you still don't want to admit the good deeds your son has done, look back and prepare for a happy event."

"No need," Cheng Er's family said as they heard it, and immediately answered happily, "I've already made up my mind about the day, and it will be an auspicious day in three days. It would be the best time to get married at that time. As for the bride price and the like, we will be together We’ll go home and discuss it.”

"Bah," Aunt Tian spat unceremoniously, "You have already booked the date, why do you have such a big face and return the bride price, tell you that you have nothing, whether you want to marry or not."

"You!" Cheng Er's family thought about making another move immediately, she and this Tian's family were enemies, and they had to pinch each other with just a few words.

"Okay, okay, it's enough to embarrass yourself, what are you doing to the Yang family, let's go, let's go," Li Zheng waved his hand weakly, and then looked at Cheng Xia with a smile, "Girl Xia, grandpa knows you are a good man." Son, when Dazhi gets married, come over to see grandpa, okay?"

Uh, Cheng Xia was a little stunned for a while, Tian Dazhi and Cheng Qiu are married, can she go?

Seeing Cheng Xia's embarrassment, Li Zheng smiled gently, "It's okay, just go and see me, grandpa still remembers the grilled shrimp with basil leaves you made, but I always wanted to eat that one bite, and when the time comes, you can make it alone Give me a taste, okay?"

Cheng Xia thought about it and smiled, then nodded, "Okay, I'll do it for you."

Cheng Qiu looked at Lizheng showing such a kind smile to Cheng Xia, but he had never treated him like this before, and he couldn't help but hate Lizheng's teeth itching, thinking that he should wait until I enter the door, you will see me of.

A group of people came and went in a hurry, and with Li Zheng's departure, they all disappeared in an instant, and the yard was instantly empty. Cheng Xia was suddenly a little dazed, and his heart was empty, just like the weather that suddenly became gloomy. Lin Xiu was worried Calling her out, Cheng Xia stared at the front with a gloomy expression and dull eyes, and said leisurely, "Did you say I did something wrong just now?"

Lin Xiu shook his head lightly, "Sister-in-law is just telling the truth."

Cheng Xia didn't know if she did something wrong, Lin Xiu was right, she was just telling the truth, but she always had a bad premonition, fearing that Cheng Qiu would be unfavorable to the Tian family.Cheng Xia sighed heavily, looked down at Xiaolong and looked at herself worriedly, forced a smile, dragged Xiaolong to the stove again, and hadn't cooked breakfast for Xiaolong yet.

The tofu wrapped in flour and soaked in egg liquid had been left for a long time, and the egg liquid had already tasted delicious. Cheng Xia lit the stove, and then poured oil into the pan to fry the tofu coated in egg liquid until the surface was golden.

Cheng Xia took the seasoning sauce that was just prepared, which was made of tomato sauce, pepper, a little salt and a little water, Cheng Xia poured all the seasonings into the pot, and slowly stirred the tofu, Then simmer for a while on low heat, and finally collect the juice on high heat, so that a plate of delicious tofu with tomato sauce is ready.

Cheng Xia looked at the delicious food that was full of color, fragrance, and his depressed mood just now was a little bit better. Xiaolong couldn't wait to grab Cheng Xia's hand and wanted to taste it. Thick burnt together into the house.

There is no need to eat too much for breakfast, as long as it is nutritious and delicious.Xiaolong ate so much that he even swallowed the last bit of tomato sauce with the plate in his belly. Cheng Xia told him not to worry, but the little guy just didn't listen, and only wiped his mouth with satisfaction until his belly was round.

Early in the morning, the sky was completely gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain. This God is really capricious. Even though the moon and stars were thin last night, it was going to rain soon.

Feeling that it will take a while to get off, Cheng Xia hurriedly took two backpacks to go out.When Xiaolong saw it, he quickly pulled Cheng Xia, "Ma'am, it's going to rain outside, why are you going?"

"I'm going to pick some roses." Cheng Xia was afraid that if it rained forever today, she wouldn't be able to do much. Winter melon preserves are easy to make, so she had to find something for herself. The flowering period of roses is so short. In short, she must prepare more rose sauce as soon as possible, so as not to delay her earning a lot of money.

Xiaolong tugged on Cheng Xia's sleeve tightly, "Ma'am, I'm going too."

Cheng Xia saw that Xiaolong was worried about himself, so he nodded, and simply put Xiaolong in the back basket and carried him up the mountain. The happy Xiaolong kept talking all the way, turning into a chatterbox.

Seeing that Xiaolong was always going to help, Cheng Xia simply taught him what the collybia fungus looks like, and then gave him a small bag for him to look for, but he couldn't go far, it was right under his nose.

Seeing that the feeling of dark clouds pressing down became stronger and stronger, Cheng Xia simply picked the whole roses, only the plump and large ones, and picked two baskets, and then called the little dragon who picked the chicken fir fungus with relish to pick them together. down the mountain.

Just entering the house, the heavy rain came as expected, Cheng Xia and Xiaolong stood at the door and looked at each other, both giggling.Fortunately, I came back in time.

But lunch couldn't be done, Cheng Xia felt a little troubled, it was already noon when they had breakfast, and now they went up the mountain, and it was time for lunch again when they came back.

The stove at the back of the room didn't have a roof. Although Cheng Xia had covered the stove with meadows just before going up the mountain, she couldn't cook anymore.

Seeing Cheng Xia's dilemma, Xiaolong quickly patted his chest, "Ma'am, I just ate, so I won't be hungry."

Xiaolong is very careful and can understand what Cheng Xia is thinking.But children have to eat, Cheng Xia thought about it, and suddenly realized that when two eggs were hot in the morning, they deliberately heated a few more steamed buns, and it took a while, so it shouldn't be cold.

Cheng Xia hurried over to touch it, it was really warm, that's easy to say, Cheng Xia called Xiaolong, gave him a steamed bun, then broke his own, took sugar and put it in the steamed bun, let Xiaolong imitate himself Cheng Xia remembered that when she was a child, her parents were busy and were not at home, and no one would cook for her, so she just ate like this, and she still ate with relish.

After Xiaolong had put the sugar, Cheng Xia cut the tomatoes into pieces, then mixed them with sugar and brought them over. He and Xiaolong each had a pair of chopsticks, and they ate like that.

Lin Xiu came over and knocked on the door, saying that Mrs. Chen asked them to have dinner together, but Cheng Xia didn't want to go anyway, and wanted to let Xiaolong go, but Xiaolong insisted on going with Cheng Xia, Lin Xiu shook his head helplessly, and could only let the two of them go. .

After eating and drinking enough, Cheng Xia first peeled the wax gourd, removed the flesh and cut it into pieces, soaked it in quicklime water, and then started to make rose sauce.

Just at this time, Xiaolong woke up from his afternoon nap, Cheng Xia asked Xiaolong to pick rose petals with him, and then soak them in light salt water. As for rubbing with sugar, and then adding honey to seal the jar, Xiaolong was even more interested and busy. It's a joy, smelling the fragrance on my hands and body, I'm even more happy.

After tidying up all the rose sauces, I also set aside a few roses to give Xiaolong a bath at night, which caused Xiaolong to dislike him for a while, insisting that he is a man and not like a little girl.Cheng Xia laughed at him, obviously she liked the scent of roses on her body just now.

Seeing Xiaolong being choked and speechless by himself, puffing out his small mouth and getting angry, Cheng Xia suddenly felt that such a quiet life is quite good.

The next day when the weather cleared up, Cheng Xia went to the pepper field to have a look. After a rain wash, the pepper seedlings grew better.Cheng Xia recalled the time when she planted peppers, and felt that compared with the ones her mother planted on the balcony in the same period, the growth was much better, and it obviously grew very fast.

Cheng Xia thinks that the chili seeds given by her senior brother are better. According to the current momentum, the normal planting cycle of chili peppers should be shortened, so that she can harvest chili peppers as soon as possible and make chili sauce.

Everything is developing in a good direction, Cheng Xia feels that the current life is actually quite good.However, all good thoughts and expectations were reduced to ashes when they saw their own mother, Mrs. Zhang.

Cheng Xia thought helplessly, this mother-in-law must be Cheng Xia's nemesis, and she would come out defeated when any good thing happened.

Cheng Qiu and Tian Dazhi's marriage was finally set three days later, that is, today, the Tian family could not handle the second aunt after all, because the second aunt said that the fortune teller had said that Cheng Qiu's baby must be a boy, and it must be a boy. Marry into Tian's family after three days, otherwise it will have a bad influence on Tian Dazhi.

Aunt Tian directly said that since it was not good for Dazhi, then she might as well not marry.Of course, this was just an angry word, because Grandpa Lizheng had already spoken, since this child belonged to Tian Dazhi, he could not allow their Tian family's flesh and blood to be left outside.

As for the betrothal gift, Cheng Xia didn't listen to others talking about it, and only vaguely extracted some relevant information from Yang Lihua's sarcasm.The Tian family didn't give the Cheng family much dowry because Aunt Tian insisted on it.Aunt Tian said, three days is only three days, if she wants to enter Tian's house safely in three days, Second Aunt had better not make any fools, everyone knows what Cheng Qiu is, it would be nice to have her , As for the bride price, that's impossible.If the second aunt disagreed, then Aunt Tian would risk her life and would not let Cheng Qiu in, she would not believe it, and would be bullied by the second aunt to the end.

What Yang Lihua was ironic about was how much the man disliked this girl, so he didn't give out a bride price at all. The bride price from the man's family is also a symbol of his fancy to the woman.

At that time, Cheng Xia listened to Yang Lihua's relish, and looked at her one more time, but Yang Lihua rolled her eyes, and turned her buttocks away.

Cheng Xia nodded, it seemed that Yang Lihua had already discussed the dowry with the Du family in Huangdun Village.

Cheng Xia is sitting in the yard of Lizheng's house at the moment, sitting around a table with a group of aunts and waiting for a banquet. If Grandpa Lizheng insisted, Cheng Xia would not want to come.

Waiting for the food to be served was very boring, Cheng Xia counted on her fingers how long Yang Dalang had been away, and when she looked up, she saw Dahua walking towards her in a hurry, as if something was urgent.
