A leisurely life with Lingquan

Chapter 68 Wedding (2)
"I'll eat it for you." Taking out a paper bag from his arms, Zhao Mu kept stuffing it into Li Xi's hand.

Li Xi hurriedly took it, opened it and asked curiously: "What is this?" After opening it slowly, he found that it was a bowl of cake, it was so fragrant that someone had tasted it in every bite.

"You, where did you get it?" Li Xi knew that this kind of dim sum was usually considered a precious item, so where did Zhao Mu get it from.

Zhao Mu scratched his head and smirked, but he flattered him: "Grandma Yang gave it to you, eat it quickly, Xi'er."

"Grandma Yang?" Li Xi was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it carefully before remembering.

Granny Yang is the grandmother of the second boy. This mother-in-law is a kind person, but her life is not good. When she was young, her husband died and left a posthumous child. She gave birth to a son and was not ready to remarry. It’s not easy for a young widow to bring too many children. She persisted. Later, when her son grew up and married a daughter-in-law, she should have been looking forward to a better life. Unfortunately, life hit her again. Granny Yang’s son was not very happy Anfen farmed and wanted to do business, but he didn't have the brains. He lost the money several times. The family became poorer and poorer. Later, the Yang family's son had no money but liked to drink, and he would get drunk when he drank. They just beat their wives and children. In the end, the daughter-in-law of the Yang family couldn't bear the torture and threw herself into the well to die, leaving behind a child who was waiting to be fed, that is, the second boy. It also gave him the nickname "Second Boy".

Now the son of the Yang family still likes to drink, and he doesn't like to do farm work. He sold a few acres of land in the field, and only two acres of land are left. Granny Yang and her little grandson are working hard. After all, he is a poor person .

"Grandma Yang gave it to me." Li Xi was puzzled, Granny Yang's family was having a hard time, how could she give Zhao Mu snacks, but he didn't even know if he asked Zhao Mu.

"You eat what you want." Zhao Mu was still urging.

Looking at this white bowl of cake, Li Xi really wanted to eat it, but in the end she took half of it, and then handed the rest to Zhao Mu: "This is all yours."

After receiving half of the bowl of cake, Zhao Mu smiled foolishly again, then took a big bite without hesitation, and handed back the remaining half: "Here."

The corner of her mouth twitched, she just shared half with him, she didn't want to stop him one bite at a time: "Eat, you, go to the front to help after eating, I still have to fetch water."

Zhao Mu pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to disobey Li Xi's intention, and dropped the bowl of cakes in one gulp, but grabbed the bucket and buried himself in fetching water: "I'll do it."

Li Xi didn't stop her. The buckets here are so solid that she couldn't lift them. Looking at her small arms and legs, she sighed silently. Should she maintain the status quo or grow stronger? She has a slender and well-proportioned figure. I want to own it. In the past, she was good everywhere, but her calves were uneven. She dared not wear skirts and shorts in summer. Although she is skinny now, she can grow more flesh. After thinking about it, she still feels that eating more will make her body healthy It's true, but you can practice stretching if you have nothing to do, and your body is also very important.

Li Xi is very interested in these ancient customs. She found a good location a long time ago and found it very interesting. Some taboos also surprised her. It turns out that flowers are not allowed at weddings. After asking, I found out that flowers are easy to wither, which is unlucky, but there is a combination of flowers and pomegranates, because the red petals of the former bloom from the heart of the leaves, which can mean that a woman is married and treats her husband sincerely. Pomegranate is more direct and has many children. Many grandchildren, many blessings. It is said that last night the village head brought back a four-year-old boy from the village to sleep with Zhao Yuan on a new bed. He said that an empty bed was unlucky, but Li Xi couldn't understand it anyway.

Li Xi didn't go to the bridal chamber because it was said that the quarrel was fierce. It wasn't the bride quarreling, but a group of young men quarreling with the groom, and Zhao Mu was among them. Later, I heard that Zhao Yuan's pants were almost stripped. Good near and far.
