Crossing the Qinghe Landlord gl

The sound of rain pattered against the moss-covered roof tiles, the raindrops fell to the ground, and the music of the summer was played scatteredly.

What surprised Li Qingshi and Zhang He was that not only was the rain not short-lived, but it kept falling for longer and longer, without any sign of stopping.

The woman of the Xia family picked a large handful of Chrysanthemum chrysanthemums in the vegetable field in front of the yard, and then went to the tofu grinder in the village to buy a piece of tofu the size of a palm and came back for dinner.

Aunt Xia was thinking about killing a chicken to eat. She was worried that Zhang He was born rich and might not like their dishes, and San Xia was also thinking a lot. He said: "The chickens and ducks in the family are all raised together. It can be said that the big brother’s family was their idea to kill the chicken for Mr. Zhang’s family. It’s not worth the loss. Besides, Mr. Zhang’s family often eats meat, so it’s okay to miss a meal, just get a few eggs.”

Third Aunt Xia felt right after he reminded her that she couldn't let the long house take advantage of it, so she finally went to get some eggs for Xia Cui to stew.

Li Qingshi and Zhang He expressed that they were not used to eating here. Li Qingshi was worried about making the Xia family uncomfortable because he knew the face of the Xia family. Zhang He was because he was an outsider and had nothing to do with the Xia family. , She didn't bring any gifts today, and she was even more embarrassed to eat it.

Li Qingshi said: "I remember there was a sheep slaughterer in the village, I'll go and buy a few catties of mutton!"

Xia Da next to him heard the words and said boldly: "No need, didn't you bring some preserved meat, just eat it!"

Li Qingshi thought about it, mutton costs forty yuan a catty, pork is much cheaper, but many people don't like pork, and he doesn't like it either.And the preserved meat he brought is actually dried pork and mutton, since they are all eaten, so save as much as you can!

Zhang He went out for a walk, took out half a basket of eggplants into the kitchen, and said to Xia Cuishi indiscriminately: "I put it on the car with the hay, and I forgot that I brought purple melons. While it’s still fresh, let’s cook it together!”

Xia Cui said happily: "Hey, this melon is delicious. The one you brought last time was eaten in a few days. Everyone likes it."

"Next time I have a chance, I'll bring you some more." Zhang He smiled.

On the contrary, Xia Cuishi was embarrassed: "We appreciate your kindness, we don't want to take your things for nothing, there will be water dripping here, you should sit in the main room first!"

Xia's kitchen is a thatched hut. Due to the heavy wind and rain, the straw was gradually torn, and the rainwater dripped down along the cracks.Zhang He just stood there for a while, and the rain dripped until her hair was wet.She looked at Xia Jiniang's room, wondering what would happen there.

While in a daze, Xia Su Niang came out of Xia Jiniang's room. When she saw Zhang He, she looked a little nervous, then she grabbed an oil-paper umbrella at the foot of the wall, opened it, and ran towards Zhang He.Zhang He was wondering why she came out of Xia Jiniang's room, so she said, "Zhang Erlang, why are you standing here?"

Zhang He looked at the fields shrouded in mist and rain, and said, "I... enjoy the color of the rain, how did you come out from there?"

Xia Su Niang replied: "That's my room!" She quickly added, "I live in the same room as my sister."

Zhang He thought in his heart: As expected, the daughters of the Xia family are treated worse.

She was a little worried, if it rained like this, it might be dark, and it would be more dangerous to drive in the dark.As for Zhang Xian, she wasn't too worried, after all, he would ask Aunt Li or Gao Dalang for help when he saw that he hadn't returned home.

"It's raining heavily, let's sit in the main room first!" Xia Su Niang summoned up her courage and said again.

Zhang He nodded, but he wondered when Xia Su Niang became so enthusiastic. The last time she came here, she clearly hid aside and didn't even talk to him.Covering her head with her sleeves, she trotted towards Xia's main room in the rain. Xia Su Niang stretched out her hand holding the umbrella, and watched her run away before she had time to call her.

Sitting in front of the loom in the room, Xia Jiniang leaned her body and saw this scene through the window, she couldn't help laughing.She was not laughing at Xia Su Niang, but at Zhang He's incomprehensible style.

Xia Jiniang noticed that after Xia Suiniang came back from Third Aunt Xia's room, she looked at her with a little dodge.She and Xia Su Niang have been sisters for more than ten years and live in the same room. The relationship is not as bad as the elders.Xia Su Niang would tell her anything, so based on her understanding of Xia Su Niang, she couldn't hide her small thoughts from herself.

If she didn't want Aunt Xia and Xia Su Niang to misunderstand her, she would have to persuade Xia Su Niang not to waste time on Zhang He. After all, how could Zhang He marry a wife?

Xia Cui called Xia Su Niang and Xia Jiniang to help in the kitchen, and after a while several dishes were placed on the Eight Immortals table in the main room, including stewed eggplant, egg custard, boiled chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, and braised tofu.In addition, there is a cold dish made of sliced ​​preserved radish mixed with pickled radish, and a large bowl of dark vegetables.

Zhang He pointed to the dish that seemed to be a dark dish, and asked, "What is this?"

"This is spicy food." Li Qingshi replied.

Xia Jiniang, who came in with the vegetables, heard this and explained with a smile: "This is a cold dish made by washing mustard roots, peeling them, cutting them into strips, pouring vinegar and a small amount of oil on them, and marinating them."

Zhang He suddenly remembered the many ways to eat mustard greens that Xia Jiniang had mentioned to her, in addition to spicy vegetables and spicy feet, he said, "Spicy feet are also like this, right?"

"It's almost the same, but the spicy feet don't need to put vinegar and small grinding oil, and need to be marinated in the tank for more than half a month."

Zhang He gained knowledge again, Li Qingshi said: "Could it be that Erlang hasn't eaten?"

Zhang He shook his head: "I really haven't eaten it before."

Li Qingshi and the others were not surprised, especially in the eyes of the Xia family, Zhang He should be eating chicken, duck and fish every day.

As several bowls of boiled rice were placed on the table of the Eight Immortals, the male family members of the Xia family took their seats one by one, while the female family members all left the main room—their dining table was in the kitchen.

Old Man Xia sat on the north side of the Eight Immortals Table, facing the door; Xia Da and Xia San sat in the main seat on the east; Zhang He and Li Qingshi sat on the guest seat on the west; With his eldest son Xia Luoguan.As for Xia Luoyu, Xia Luosheng, Xia Luozhen and two children, they ate in the kitchen with the female relatives.

As the only woman at the table, Zhang He felt uncomfortable all over. When he was in a trance, more than half of the dishes on the table were missing.Xia Da asked: "Is the food not to Zhang Erlang's appetite? Why do you eat so little?"

"No, Xia's food can be said to be delicious in color, fragrance and appetite. But I have a small appetite and don't eat much."

"No wonder Mr. Zhang's family looks so thin." Xia San said.

"This can't be done. To be a man, you still have to have a burly and majestic body like our Guan'er." Xia Er took the opportunity to say.

Xia Luoguan raised his head subconsciously after being praised by Xia Er. Zhang He took a look at him and found that he was very strong.His complexion is a healthy wheat color, and at first glance he looks like an honest villager, but his face is seven points similar to Xia Er's, and the corners of his eyes hang slightly, and he feels a little arrogant when he looks up.

"..." Zhang He was silent for a while, and then smiled, "What you said is right."

"Second brother's words are wrong. Mr. Zhang Jialang was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, and he didn't do ordinary affairs. Naturally, he wouldn't grow up so rough under the sun and rain like us. Although he is thin and weak, he is also suave." Xia Sandao.

Only then did Zhang He realize that the Xia family had already known her origin, so she understood the change in the Xia family's attitude before and after.She didn't think it was revealed by Xia Jiniang, after all, the attitudes of Second Aunt Xia and Third Aunt Xia remained unchanged when she arrived today, so she thought it might be Li Qingshi who revealed it by accident.

"It's too good to be true."

"I let you say everything alone!" Xia Er said to Xia San.

"Whatever Second Brother said, I'm telling the truth!" Sam Xia slyly said.

Zhang He thought that although she was slightly short-sighted, her hearing was not affected. Although they spoke in a low voice, it still reached her ears, which made her very embarrassed.

The table on Zhang He's side was full of flattery and calculations, and Xia Jiniang's side was not much better.

During the day, I didn't find a good time to talk about Xia Jiniang, and when we arrived in the kitchen, everyone present was my family, so Aunt Xia spoke out with confidence.She said with a smile on her face: "Mother, you have been in Qinghe Village for so long, and you don't know the identity of Mr. Zhang Family?"

Although her tone was gentle, anyone could tell that she was blaming Xia Jiniang for not informing Zhang He of her identity earlier.Xia Cuishi opened her mouth before Xia Jiniang said: "What is Zhang Erlang's identity and what does it have to do with us? Why did Ji Niang bring it up?"

"Sister-in-law said this, could it be that she already knew the identity of Mr. Zhang's family?" Second Aunt Xia raised her lips and began to provoke.

Sure enough, when Aunt Xia heard the words, her face was very ugly.She thought in her heart that Xia Cuishi knew Zhang He's family background but didn't tell them, because she wanted to secretly draw red lines for Xia Jiniang and Zhang He, and she was afraid that her own Su Niang would steal the good news!

Second Aunt Xia said again: "That's not what my sister-in-law said. If we knew the identity of Mr. Zhang's family earlier, we should be able to show our friendship as a landlord, right? Look at the food on the table, I don't know if we can get it." The eyes of Mr. Zhang Jialang."

Third Aunt Xia took the opportunity to answer the conversation, and said to Xia Jiniang: "Besides, you already have Kong Rong, ma'am, so don't be ambiguous with Mr. Zhang, right?"

No matter how good-tempered Xia Cui was, she couldn't help being annoyed and said: "Third uncle's family, what are you talking about? What do you mean that Ji Niang already has Kong Rong? Are these words meant to destroy Ji Niang?! "

The corners of Aunt Xia's eyes twitched, and she said embarrassingly, "Sister-in-law, that's not what I mean, I'm just worried about the big things in my life!"

The grandchildren sat beside her and didn't speak. Xia Su Niang secretly glanced at Xia Ji Niang several times with her head down, and found that her face was expressionless. I was slightly taken aback.

"Sister-in-law San doesn't need to worry about Ji Niang's life-long affairs. Since sister-in-law San mentioned Zhang Erlang, I will also mention it. Even if the official family is a concubine, it is not something we can climb up to. If the family is not right, even if he is willing, His elders may not think highly of our family background." Xia Cuishi's expression softened, and he said a few words.

Normally, they wished that Xia Jiniang would stay at home and work hard, so it would be too ridiculous to care about her life-long affairs at this time.

When Third Aunt Xia heard this, she felt that the basin of cold water was much cooler than that poured by Second Aunt Xia. She only cared about Zhang He's family background, but forgot whether Zhang He's elders would allow her to marry a third-class family!
