happy rebirth

After eating, it was dark.

Liu Jinshi took Liu Yuan to clean up the dishes, while the men sat around the brazier.Liu Ya is now also receiving enlightenment education in the school, and Ke Qi chooses simple homework to test him.Liu Ya doesn't have much talent, but he is diligent and able to answer Ke Qi's questions even when he stumbles.

Liu Gu couldn't understand anything, so he just sat and rubbed the coir grass, laughing.

The Liu family has been slaves for generations, and although they have finally become good citizens now, they are still not allowed to take the scientific examination in Liu Ya's generation, so it doesn't matter whether Liu Ya reads well or not.As long as he can know some characters and understand some principles, he can have multiple paths in the future when he is in business or even in the army.

Xie Jinhua looked curiously at the coir grass in Liu Gu's hand, and asked, "Uncle, what is this?"

Liu Gu shook his hands, half of the rope made of coir grass almost fell into the burning coals.This was the first time Xie Jinhua called him uncle in front of Liu Gu, and Liu Gu was really flattered.Although Liu Gu has been in contact with Xie Jinhua several times before, he knows that Xie Jinhua is a gentle person, but there is also a kind of alienation in that gentleness.This is understandable, Hou Menzi can look down on poor relatives, which is considered kind of them.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jinhua really called him uncle!

Liu Gu didn't dare to answer, but he was afraid that he would lose face to Xie Jinhua if he really shouldn't, and his whole face turned red immediately.The Liu family seems to always blush easily, but Ke Qi, although he also has the blood of the Liu family, is a thick-skinned person who is used to acting!Xie Jinhua joked in his heart.

"This, this, this... This is grass. It can be twisted into rope and used to weave coir raincoats, which are used to cover the rain." Liu Gu explained.

"Coir raincoat? A coir raincoat, Ren Pingsheng, what a beautiful mood!" Xie Jinhua's eyes lit up again, as if he had discovered something good.

The poor old uncle thought he couldn't answer that.

Xie Jinhua stared at the movements of Liu Gu's hands with great interest.The process of rubbing the rope didn't look difficult, but he was eager to try it.

Although Ke Qi had been talking to Liu Ya, he still had some attention on Xie Jinhua.Seeing that Xie Jinhua couldn't restrain himself and wanted to make a move, Ke Qi touched his cousin's head, and mercilessly tore down Xie Jinhua's desk: "Uncle, quickly show your hand to brother Xie, so that he can know your hand How many calluses are there. With his thin skin and tender flesh, he still wants to rub the rope, and when the time comes, the skin will really break, and he will be the one crying in pain!"

Xie Jinhua felt that she was underestimated.

The poor old uncle had to find ways to smooth things over when his nephew and husband were bickering, saying: "You all need to hold pens in your hands, gold is very expensive, and these rough jobs are really untouchable." He is a stupid man. , to be able to talk about this, he has already performed exceptionally well.

"If you really like it, ask uncle to give you one when he finishes knitting the coir raincoat," Ke Qi said.

Liu Gu opened his mouth wide.Even if it is raining, when the nobles go out, there will naturally be someone to help hold the silk umbrella, so there is no need for coir raincoats!Not to mention that the coir raincoat is tightly tied, even if the coir coir grass is treated well, it will still sting the exposed skin.Where can such a thing be delivered?

If it weren't for the fact that they needed to go up and down the mountain in the rain, a lot of work would not be delayed, Liu Gu would not like to wear a coir raincoat on his body.

Xie Jinhua said yearningly: "If uncle doesn't find it troublesome, please make one according to my stature. There is plenty of rain in spring, and when the spring rain is hazy, we can rent a boat and go boating on the river...or else, it is still Don't bother uncle, I'll ask Li Yang to buy one in the village."

Liu Gu suddenly closed his mouth.Whether a nobleman is a nobleman is really beyond the comprehension of a rough man like him.

"No trouble, I don't have to work in winter, so I just asked my uncle to help you do one." Ke Qi said.He knew that his uncle's family didn't know how to get along with Xie Jinhua most of the time, so sending a coir raincoat would be considered as a relationship, and if they come and go in the future, everyone's relationship will gradually get closer.

Liu Gu hurriedly said: "That's exactly what you said, it's not troublesome at all. If you want, I'll weave you a bamboo hat and a pair of straw sandals."

Xie Jinhua said happily: "Okay!"

Ke Qi watched from the side with a smile.He knew that Xie Jinhua must be thinking of some very elegant things in his heart, but Liu Gu didn't understand those elegant things. Seeing that Xie Jinhua liked coir raincoats and straw sandals, he would only think that he was very easy to get along with.Therefore, Xie Jinhua, who was misunderstood by the Liu family as being very down-to-earth, really immediately asked the Liu family to change their views on him.When sleeping at night, Liu Gu couldn't help but sigh with emotion to his old wife.

Liu Jinshi got up early the next day and went to the small mill to grind the rice noodles in the dark.

When Liu Yuan also got up to help in the kitchen, Liu Jinshi had already been working enthusiastically for a long time alone.

"Mother, are you making snow fruit?" Liu Yuan said pleasantly.

Liu Jinshi said with a smile on his face: "Hey, when we talked about Xueguo yesterday, I saw the one in your cousin's family and I liked it very much..."

"That's because my mother is good at craftsmanship." In front of his own mother, Liu Yuan was still very lively.

Xie Jinhua just stared at his uncle rubbing the rope the night before, and everyone didn't go to bed until late.But he has developed a biological clock, so he doesn't wake up very late the next day.It's just that the weather was too cold. Although Xie Jinhua woke up, he didn't get up immediately, but talked to Ke Qi under the quilt.

"My cousin's marriage... How about we find a young talent for her in the academy?" Xie Jinhua pushed Ke Qi.

Ke Qi yawned, and replied in a low voice: "That's not right. After all, my uncle's family has only been out of humble status for a long time, and many people are jealous of this. Although there is a saying that it is better to marry a maidservant than a small one." Daughter. But the Ke family is not a big family, just better than ordinary people."

What Ke Qi said was a very real problem.It's not that he thinks that Liu Yuan is not good enough for the students in Qiulin Academy, but that everyone thinks that she is definitely not good enough.They are also scholars, as long as they enter Qiulin Academy, no matter how ordinary their family background is, they will be very sought-after in the marriage market.

Xie Jinhua thought for a while, and asked, "Then... what about Brother Zhengping?" Ye Zhengping is now destitute (all his wealth was used to see a doctor for his ex-brother-in-law in name), and his family has burdens (Heli's sister and her sick niece live with him) ), although she is responsible, it is actually very hard to say a daughter-in-law.

Ke Qi immediately widened his eyes, and his voice became high-pitched, shouting: "No!"

"Why, why can't it work?" Xie Jinhua was taken aback by Ke Qi's reaction.

Ke Qi faltered and said: "Did you forget...he used to make a living by imitating paintings." The painting was still a picture of the Erotic Palace of Longyang!Although the boys who write Tanmei novels in later generations are not necessarily gay, and the girls who write Lily are not necessarily Lily, but what if?Especially for things like erotic pictures, certain details are drawn so well, it must be embarrassing for straight men to do this, right?Ke Qi didn't dare to risk Liu Yuan's marriage.

The lives of fellow wives are miserable.Even in later generations, many people criticize GAY for cheating marriage scum, but the pain of the same wives is still unable to be explained clearly in a few words, let alone in this era where men are superior to women!Husbands play with men, anyway, those men can't have children, so women have to be generous; if they don't have sex, but they can't have children, they should blame women; if women want to have a normal sex life, they will call lewdness!

Xie Jinhua said strangely: "So what about imitation paintings? Don't you think that if this story spreads, it will affect Brother Zhengping's reputation?"

"He paints like that... If he likes men, how can a girl marry him? Let's ask him in private when the time comes." Ke Qi said.

"How do you know brother Zhengping likes men? Isn't he not married yet?" Xie Jinhua asked.

Ke Qi felt wrong after hearing this.

Xie Jinhua went on to say: "Marriage is about the orders of my parents and the words of a matchmaker. A wife is for respect. The elders married a female wife for me, so I naturally like women. The elders formed a male contract for me. Then I naturally like men. Everyone in the world should be like this, right?"

"..." Ke Qi realized that there was a fundamental mistake in Xie Jinhua's cognition.

Xie Jinhua was able to say such things, either because he was bisexual, or because he had never been enlightened from the beginning to the end.Ke Qi thinks the latter is more likely.No matter how much he knows, he is still ignorant about love, and his body is still a child at all.

I don't want to talk about limiting issues in bed with young children.Ke Qi thought very seriously.

"You are wrong, the order should be reversed. If you like a woman, you will find a woman to marry; if you like a man, you have to make a contract with a man. Otherwise, if you obviously like a man, but you marry a woman, you will feel sorry for that woman." A woman! A man of conscience would never do such a thing."

Xie Jinhua blinked.The door to the new world opened slowly.

"It's a special situation like the two of us. At that time, in order to save lives, of course the horoscope was more important, and it didn't matter whether it was a man or a woman." So Ke Qi always thought that he would eventually reconcile with Xie Jinhua.In this world, heterosexuals always account for the vast majority of the total population.

Xie Jinhua blinked again.The half-open door snapped shut.

What do other people's affairs have to do with me?Anyway, Ke Di and I are married.Standing inside the door, Xie Jinhua thought so.

It was very troublesome to make Xueguo. Although Liu Jinshi started to make preparations before dawn, they were not ready until evening.

Xueguo actually has no fillings, but Liu Jinshi knew from Ke Qi that Xie Jinhua likes to eat sweets, so he not only made some traditional style Xueguo, but also made some sesame fillings and bean paste fillings in an innovative way. It took a lot of effort to make snow fruits with fillings such as candied dates and candied dates.

The last process is called frosting.Because the space in the kitchen was too small, Liu Jinshi put the snow fruits in special containers and dried them row after row in the main room.Seeing so many snow fruits, Xie Jinhua deliberately skipped a few bites for dinner, because he wanted to save his stomach to eat snow fruits!

After Liu Jinshi finished ordering the cream, she smiled and said, "Send this one to Mr. Li, and this one to Brother Li and the others. This one has to be shared with the neighbors." The villagers made new ones. The trick is to give everyone a few habits, Liu Jinshi can't ignore this basic communication.

Xie Jinhua just watched helplessly as Xueguo lost three drawers, and he didn't eat any of them!

However, Xie Jinhua pretended to be very good, so that no one could see that his heart was already inseparable from those snow fruits.

Naturally, not all the remaining snow fruits are for Xie Jinhua. Liu Yuan has to eat a few, and Liu Ya has to eat a few. Even if Ke Qi doesn’t like sweets, traditional snow fruits are not very sweet, so Ke Qi also wants to eat a few.Xie Jinhua wanted to eat a few more, but his stomach was already full.

At night, Xie Jinhua had a dream.

In the dream, Ke Qi made so many snow fruits that filled the whole room, enough for Xie Jinhua to eat for a long time.

When waking up in the morning, Xie Jinhua happily said to Ke Qi: "I dreamed about you last night!"

"?"

"It was a very happy dream. You did something that made me happy."

"!"

Is it a spring dream?If Xie Jinhua has already bent, should I politely bend too?In fact, Ke Qi was not completely awake yet, his mind seemed to be stuffed with lumps of paste.So, he was thinking hard about the problem in this state.
