After being forced to marry a butcher

Chapter 2

  "Isn't this the present newspaper! Ask him to organize us!" Li Lerong was very happy.

The two went home, and after drying their clothes, Li Lerong came to look for Liu Yu with a shovel and a small basket for digging wild vegetables, and brought the news from his inquiry, "She didn't fall into the river, she was hit by a stone It's in the river!"

Li Lerong said with a smile: "I just saw that her family called the doctor, and I heard that her back was hurt, God really opened her eyes."

Liu Yu always looked calm, listening to Li Lerong quietly. Said, as if everything has nothing to do with him in general.

In summer, wild vegetables grow vigorously, and there is no need to go to the foot of the mountain, and the fields on the roadside are everywhere. Li Qingshan's elder brother Li Qingjiang's sons and daughters, one is eight years old and the other is six years old.

As the sun was getting higher and higher, several people were resting under the big tree. Li Lerong found a lot of beautiful wild flowers. Liuyu was skillful and made a wreath for him and sister Tian, ​​and a grasshopper and a bird for Xianhu.

Sister Tian put the garland on her head, said she was pretty, and happily threw herself into Liu Yu's arms, saying that she liked Auntie very much.

The aunt is not only beautiful, but also dexterous and fragrant.

The lunch is simple, baked thin sourdough single cake, served with fresh garlic and amaranth and a bowl of warm Huo Cai pimple soup, very delicious to eat.

Cong Chunhua is delicious, she tore the pancakes and stuffed them into her mouth while muttering: "I have baked pancakes for decades, and they are not as thin and firm as yours. "

Mrs. Guan took a sip of Hucai pimple soup and said with a smile, "Brother Yu has always been good at cooking

. " , so that they can't lift their heads when they eat!"

Cong Chunhua is a cook who cooks for weddings and weddings. If the master hosts a banquet, he will come to invite her, and the labor fee for a table will be fifteen cents.

But since Li Qingshan's father passed away, rumors from all over the world began to say that she was unlucky, so she seldom received jobs for happy occasions, and those who could receive jobs were for nothing. This was because her price was lower than other cooks. Low.

Therefore, on weekdays, she mostly makes a living by weaving. But it usually takes a month from retting and peeling to spinning hemp thread to weaving a piece of cloth, and a piece of ramie cloth can only be sold for about 200 yuan, and I am so tired and sore.

Ever since Li Qingshan was able to stand up and prop up the door after he was fifteen, he didn't allow Cong Chunhua to sit in front of the loom all day weaving.

It's just that Li Qingshan failed to become a teacher in the first place, and then got married again. After coming and going, the money in the family is really low, and Cong Chunhua has started weaving again recently.

But this time she strictly followed what her son said, and got up to rest after sitting for a quarter of an hour, so as to take care of her body so that she could hug her grandson in the future.

Mrs. Guan knows the difficulties at home, but now she is no longer the embroiderer who can earn a living and support willow fish only by a good embroiderer. She is old, her eyesight is not good now, and she can't do such fine work, so she can only help Cong Chunhua with some housework as much as she can, so that she can concentrate on weaving.

Liuyu is still young, and Mrs. Guan didn't make a living from weaving before, so he doesn't know anything about weaving. A few days ago, he mentioned that he wanted to learn, so that Cong Chunhua could rest more.

But that day Cong Chunhua said that marrying a new husband is not to suffer, saying that he is young, and now he needs to take good care of his body, and has no intention of teaching him.

Therefore, at this moment after lunch, Mrs. Guan is feeding the chickens in the backyard, Cong Chunhua is weaving in the house, and the willow fish is netting on the porch, waiting for the next time I go to the city to sell them for money.

The family does different things, but their hearts are directed towards the same thing, that is to live a better life.

The sun was setting, and the six-day river dredging work was finally completed.

The household clerk of the county government settled the wages and counted them on the spot. If he left and found that he was short of a penny or two and came back, he would not return.

When it was Li Qingshan's turn, he counted it twice and it was 310 Wen. Although he was poor, he didn't like to take advantage of it, so he returned the extra ten Wen, "Fifty a day, six days of work, It should be 300 Wen, ten Wen more."

The house clerk was still busy counting down a person, looked up and saw him, and laughed, "Li Qingshan, right? It's just for you, these few days The day counts as you work the hardest and do the best work, and the supervisor specially explained it."

This was a surprise, and Li Qingshan was a little happy.

Thinking that Fu Lang and grandma had escaped all the way here, and their bodies were still losing weight, so they cut off two catties of fat and thin meat, and went to thirty Wen.

Also thinking that Fulang is from Nanjiang Mansion, and he prefers to eat rice, so he brought ten catties of rice from the grain shop and went to Liushiwen.

In the end, I went to the grocery store and picked out two pairs of exquisite small porcelain bowls, which cost me 20 Wen.

It took a hundred and ten wen, Li Qingshan thought about the remaining copper coins, after the autumn harvest, he must find a new way out, earn more money, so that his husband, mother and grandma can live a better life .

Because he got money and bought meat, Li Qingshan was in a good mood, when he passed by his uncle's house, he thought the wreath on Li Lerong's head was very pretty.

He greeted meanly and pulled the garland on Li Lerong's head, which made Li Lerong's face turn pale in fright, and avoided him all the way, and sternly declared, "Brother Liuyu made it for me!" He said why the garland is so

so nice!

Li Lerong didn't come here to rush to be bullied by him, so he sued the He family in front of Li Qingshan with embellishment, and especially emphasized that brother Liuyu is so gentle, he will not fight back, and now he must feel wronged, you Be sure to coax!

Li Qingshan left with a gloomy face, he usually doesn't like to talk about these women's gossip, but it doesn't mean that these people can talk about his husband's face.

When he got home,

his face was still dark, and Liu Yu was startled, "What's wrong ?" Putting down the rice, he said with a smile: "Let's eat stewed rice today. I'll go out and come back later."

Liu Yu nodded, and after Li Qingshan left, he looked at one of the pair of exquisite small porcelain bowls. The little red chubby fish with a naive tail showed a faint smile.

Li Qingshan waited at the big rock at the foot of the mountain, and after a while, his two half-grown cousins ​​"arrested" He's youngest son Chen Sima over.

With a flattering face, Chen Sima approached Li Qingshan flatteringly, "Brother, brother, what do you want from me?"

Li Qingshan frowned and took a few steps back, dividing the crisp pears he had just picked from the mountain among his two cousins , sent them away, and then slowly said: "Your mother—you talked nonsense in front of my husband while washing clothes today." Chen Sima wanted to poke over, and immediately said:

"Brother, brother, That's her!"

He emphasized, "You know, I dare not!"

Li Qingshan can be said to be the leader of his generation in Taoyuan Village, he doesn't like to bully others, but he always has a natural leadership in speaking and doing things It seems convincing that people of their age like to play with him and befriend him.

Chen Sima is no exception, it's just that Li Qingshan is motivated and steady, and he doesn't like to play with such bums.

In short, Chen Sima wanted to cry, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to provoke Li Qingshan's husband.

His mother is also true, tell him love, tell him who is not good, insist on liking Li Qingshan's husband, tell him a daughter-in-law, it is better to give him a few pennies more!

When Li Qingshan came over, he was really angry and wanted to beat Chen Sima to vent his anger, but Chen Sima's brother begged for mercy and said good things, which made him feel that beating him was boring.

Li Qingshan finally warned him sharply, "Go back and take care of your mother, if she dares to gossip with my husband again, I will beat you every time I see you." Chen Sima bowed and said

yes again and again, waiting for Li Qingshan to go far away , he dared to raise his head.

Damn, that big guy can knock him down with a single punch.

Chen Sima said in his heart: Mother, it's not good for you to provoke someone, provoke him!

Li Qingshan returned home with a bunch of wild fruits he had picked, and his husband, mother and grandma were cooking in the kitchen, some interesting things were mentioned, the laughter made him feel relieved.

Before the meal was ready, Li Qingshan went out with a bucket to the river to fetch a bucket of water and came back to water the vegetables in the backyard, then sat in the yard and chopped firewood.

Fu Lang and grandma are from the south, and they speak softly, and he can't hear them clearly in the yard. But his mother, that loud and angry voice could be heard clearly even eight feet away from the yard, Li Qingshan couldn't help laughing.

The braised pork was gradually simmering, and when the willow fish was lifted from the pot, the rich aroma instantly spread all over the yard, making the nearby dogs bark and bark.

"It smells so good." Cong Chunhua brought the braised pork from the stove to the main room, and the old lady Guan brought a plate of cold okra and a small basket of lettuce into the house, and Li Qingshan went into the stove to help Liuyu serve the rice. steamer. Liu Yu smiled, handed the steamer to him, and went to the well to serve mung bean soup splashed with cold water.

The rice is fragrant, glutinous and sweet, and the braised pork is soft and melts in the mouth. If you pour a large spoonful of soup on the rice and eat it with meat, the deliciousness will be multiplied several times. When you get tired of eating, eat with a mouthful of crisp and delicious okra, or wrap rice with fresh lettuce, wrap a piece of sour radish and wrap meat.

Cong Chunhua took another sip of the cold mung bean soup, very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Brother Yu is better than me."

Li Qingshan also thought so, but he was determined not to say that, lest his mother say that he married a wife I forgot my mother.

But if he didn't say anything, it didn't mean his mother would let go of the opportunity to make fun of him. Cong Chunhua glanced at the small bowl used for willow fish, cleared her throat, and suddenly realized that it was, and said, "Yo, there's still something on this bowl. There's a little fish!"

She begged someone to get married back then, crying and fussing, forcing her to die.

Li Qingshan coughed violently.

Liu Yu picked up the bowl to drink the porridge, with a small smile in his eyes.

After dinner, before it was dark, Li Qingshan repaired the low wooden stool with loose legs in the kitchen, then took an ax and called the next door Dazhuang to go to the mountain to chop firewood together.

The three members of the family were all fine at this time, and took a bath one by one before it was dark.

The Li family's house was built when Li Qingshan's father was still alive - a brick house.

The main room faces south, with the main room in the middle for eating and entertaining guests, and two bedrooms on the left and right sides, one for Cong Chunhua and one for Mrs. Guan.

Li Qingshan and Liu Yu lived in the side room on the west side of the courtyard, opened the door and walked through the two-meter-wide corridor to an old pomegranate tree. The stove, granary and utility room are on the east side of the courtyard, and the vegetable plot, latrine and chicken coop are all in the backyard.

Unlike those houses in the village where the yards are surrounded by fences and there is no shelter, the walls of the Li family's yards are all made of solid blue bricks.

Therefore, at this moment, Liuyu can also sit in the yard to dry her hair with peace of mind.

Li Qingshan went home carrying a bundle of firewood, and saw Fulang with loose hair still in knots, this was not the first time he saw him, but every time he saw it, he felt soft in his heart.

After washing, Li Qingshan handed over the wages he received today to Liu Yu, "I just discussed with my mother, half of the money I earn will be handed over to her for family expenses, and you will keep the other half." Today I received three hundred and

ten For Wen, one hundred and ten Wen are used for flowers, and the remaining two hundred Wen, Li Qingshan gave Liu Yu one hundred Wen.

Liu Yu was a little pleasantly surprised, but he didn't expect to let him manage some of the money. He found a thin hemp rope to tie up the hundred Wen coins, counted them back and forth several times, and carefully put them into the money bag.

Li Qingshan felt his joy, and thought that in the future he must make more money, so that Fu Lang could fill his money bag as soon as possible.

Outside, it was already dark, and the old lady Guan and Cong Chunhua who lived in the main room had already turned on the lamp and lay down.

Liu Yu put the money bag away, but still went back to the table to tie the knot quietly.

Because of work, he leaves early and returns late, Li Qingshan has not been close to his husband for several days, every time he looks at Liu Yu, his throat feels tight, not to mention he can still smell the faint soap on Liu Yu's body Horn fragrance.

But Liu Yu didn't intend to go to bed for a long time.

Li Qingshan endured again and again, but in the end he couldn't hold his breath anymore, he blew out the lamp, and hugged him up in the dark.

Liu Yu was taken aback by his unexpected sneak attack, and she was hanging in the air again, her hands could only hold Li Qingshan's neck tightly, this made Li Qingshan feel very good, Liu Yu could even hear his low laughter.

He now understood what was going on, but he was taken aback for no reason, the culprit was still smiling, Liu Yu was a little depressed, but he still spoke softly, "Don't you have to plow the land tomorrow?"

"You don't need to go." Li Qingshan smiled unabated, kissed Liu Yu's cheek in the dark, and carried him to the bed.

Small theater:

——Two or three things about the wedding night——

Li Qingshan and Liu Yu lying on the bed on the wedding night .

Li Qingshan: Is it not good to do that when we first met?

Tossing and turning.

Li Qingshan: But if the wedding night is not consummated, the husband will think too much, making him feel that he doesn't like him.

Tossing and turning again, Li Qingshan recalled the moment when he opened the head.

Li Qingshan: He is really good-looking and smells delicious.

The strings in his mind completely collapsed, and Li Qingshan pressed down.

Liu Yu: Actually, you think too much, I really don't think too much...
