little son-in-law

The autumnal equinox has passed, and the calendar has entered September.Nangong Jingshen has been here for more than ten days, and it seems that she has no intention of leaving.

There were several times when I woke up at night, only he and the two little ones were on the bed, and Nangong Jingshen would come back only after midnight. Although he had changed his clothes, his hair was still cold with the dew in the autumn night.

Looking at the corn planted in May, it will be harvested in a few days. When I went to see it a few days ago, more than half of the corn husks had turned white.Although it is necessary to take precautions, these days, the male and strong men in the town are also taking turns to watch the night at night, but there are few people, and the fields in the town are divided into two parts, the night before yesterday, after all, let the thieves take advantage of it , I have ruined a lot, just stealing is okay, the key is stealing and ruining at the same time, the two ridges of corn in Mo’s house are like this, when I went there the next morning, the green corn stalks were spread out. one place.

However, the thieves were caught by Ming Ting's people following the trail, and a group of people did not know where they came from. There were seven or eight people in total, all of whom were around 20 years old. When Ting led people there, he also found a lot of grain, most of which were stolen in Nanshan Town this time, and the previous ones were sold to grain stores in nearby counties.

These are the rations for the next year, and the importance to ordinary people's homes can be imagined.Because of this incident, Ming Ting showed his face in Nanshan Town. Even when Mo Nanjin went out, he was stopped and kept saying, "Thanks to your Ming Ting" and "Your Ming Ting is really good!" You have helped us a lot", Mo Nanjin also accepted all the compliments without any hesitation.

However, Mo Nanjin still wanted to find a good weather, so he went to collect it, so as to save him from worrying about being missed by some thieves all the time.Unexpectedly, the weather has not been very good for the past two days. When I came together this morning, I saw that the sky was very cloudy.After lunch, the autumn rain began to tick-tock.

A peddler from the streets came over this morning, Mingyue packed up two worn out clothes, and changed three small spinning tops for the three little guys. At this time, the three of them were having fun on the porch.

A sieve was placed in front of Mingyue and Yuyang, in which were many red peppers picked a few days ago. They were going to string them up and hang them under the eaves to dry. Xiao Mo was busy lighting the fire in the kitchen, and some old Beans and kidney beans have to be cooked and dried. There are few vegetables in winter. With these dried vegetables, they can be soaked in hot water, fried or steamed.Choose big and plump tomatoes and cook them, tear off the skins, put them in jars and seal them, and dig them out in winter to make tomato soup.

With these dishes, it is easy to cook all winter, otherwise there are only cabbage, radish, potato and pumpkin, and the mouth is really greasy.

"After this rain, the sky will be really cold." Yuyang hung up the skewered peppers and drew another needle.

"I hope it doesn't rain too much. It's raining at this time, and it's hard to get into the car in the field, and it's easy for the corn to germinate." Mo Nanjin looked at the door, the lentils in the corner, the purple flowers bloomed just right, The leaves are washed clean by the rain, and the flowers and colors are more delicate.

Yuyang found out that he had checked the door more than once today, and he knew it clearly.But it was not clear, just after dawn, before the breakfast at home was ready, Mr. Jing and Gu Shisan hurried out in the carriage, and did not come back after lunch time.

"Daddy, you misplaced the corn husks." Xing Zhi ran over with a spinning top.

Mo Nanjin looked under his hands, didn't he?The peeled off rice husks are put in a basin with the corn that has been plucked clean.

The blacksmith's second uncle was planting sticky corn at the time, and there were a few seeds left, so he gave them to their family. Mo Nanjin was planted scatteredly next to the ditch on the vegetable field. It was delicious at this time, and the sticky corn was very small. , less than the length of a palm, the purple particles are sticky and sweet to eat. When the Mo family didn't grow them themselves, the neighbors had to send a lot of them.The Mo family didn't lack food either.

Yesterday I went to collect the corn that fell on the ground first. There are really a few tender ones that can still squeeze out water.

Mo Nanjin thought about it and just cooked it in one pot, without the trouble of doing it twice.

"I was just saying not to let the rain fall, but now it will fall." Mo Nanjin watched the rainwater falling from the eaves gradually connect broken beads into dense thin lines.

"It looks like it's really going to rain heavily." Yuyang pulled the sieve in, and it started to rain.

The smell of earth in the wind is heavier.

"Master, I've already hung the vegetables. Is your corn ready?" Xiao Mo poked his head out from the kitchen and shouted from afar.

"That's good, just wait a little longer." Mo Nanjin plucked the beards from the last few small sticky corns under his hands, leaving only a layer of skin, and carried the basin over.

Mingyue cleaned up the bright green corn husks in the back and piled them aside, thinking that when the rain stopped, she would throw them directly by the gate, dry them in the sun, and use them as firewood.

When Mo Nanjin passed by, Xiao Mo's face was hot and flushed, and he was pouring the washed sweet potatoes and peanuts into the pot in the kitchen.

Mo Nanjin washed the corn again and put it in together.Xiao Mo added more than half of the pot of water and put it in the steamer, and steamed the steamed stuffed buns stuffed with radish, vermicelli and pork.

Because of what happened the night before, after noon today, the mayor sent people from door to door to say hello and called everyone to discuss how to deal with those thieves. Ming Ting sent the youngest son of the mayor to speak personally, which really gave him enough face.Ming Ting left after lunch.

Seeing that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, the sky is getting darker, and a large black cloud in the east is slowly gathering. It is estimated that the rain will not stop tonight.

Mo Nanjin thought that she should go and deliver an umbrella to Ming Ting.I saw Mingyue hurriedly running along the corridor.

"Uncle, Miss told you to go to the front. Matchmaker Liu is here." Mingyue Kitchen came.He brushed the rainwater splashed on his hair.

"Matchmaker Liu?" Mo Nanjin was at a loss. How could this matchmaker Liu come to their house? Speaking of which, because the two families live far away, they seldom communicate with each other on weekdays.The last time Ye Qing said a few words when he married his wife.

"Did he say anything?" Mo Nanjin asked.

Mingyue covered her mouth with a smile and said, "He said he was telling Brother Ming about a new wife."

"Ming Ting?" Mo Nanjin smiled knowingly, Ming Ting had reached the age of marriage, and because of this incident, the person who said to marry immediately came to the door.

"Oh..." Xiao Mo put his finger in his mouth and sucked two mouthfuls.

"What's the matter? Burning hand?" Mo Nanjin squatted down, took his hand and looked at it. There was a small red and swollen lump on the belly of the index finger of his right hand, which was not a problem.

Rubbing his head, he said with a smile, "Stupid Xiao Mo, what are you thinking? Burn your fingers like firewood?"

"Master..." Xiao Mo stared with round eyes.

"Okay, let Mingyue help burn the meeting, you go and send an umbrella to Ming Ting, and how about me, young master, go ahead and see which girl Liu Matchmaker told Ming Ting about?" Mo Nanjin showed great interest .

"I'm not going. He's so good now, of course someone will give him an umbrella." Xiao Mo flashed a flash of anger, turned his head away angrily, and added another piece of firewood to the stove.

Mo Nanjin's teasing look flashed across his face, it seemed that once Ming Ting acted, he would be very fast.

"Okay, Xiao Mo, look, the rain outside is getting heavier and heavier. The rain in autumn is not as cold as in summer. It's cold." Xiao Mo didn't understand, but she could see clearly from the side that this uncle was clearly waiting. Watching a good show.

Xiao Mo glanced at the sky outside, then frowned hesitantly, nodded, stood up, and gave the pony to Mingyue.

"Then young master, Sister Mingyue, I'm going to deliver the umbrella."

I didn't want to go just now, but now I'm not slow at all.

Who was the girl Mo Nanjin was talking about? She actually knew her, she was Qi Hong, the sister in the small teahouse.Matchmaker Liu spoke brilliantly, saying that the two sisters had no father or mother, and that Ming Ting married Qi Hong and was the head of the family.

Mo Nanjin thought it was better to wait for Ming Ting to come back and discuss it before making a decision, and quickly sent them away.

It was completely dark before dinner time.It was raining heavily outside.

Mo Nanjin leaned against the edge of the bed, the family had already had dinner and went to sleep, the rain was pattering on the window lattice.

When thinking about dinner, he asked Ming Ting whether Qi Hong, a girl, should suit his heart.It was clear that Ming Ting was startled, but his hand quickly grabbed Xiao Mo under the table.In exchange for a fierce kick from Xiao Mo.

"Master, help me go back."

The door was blown open by the wind.

Mo Nanjin put on his clothes and got out of bed to close the door.I saw Nangong Jingshen standing outside the door drenched, looking at Mo Nanjin's eyes as if trying to suppress something.

Mo Nanjin pulled him in, frowned and said, "Where did you go so early in the morning? Why are you in such a mess?"

Nangong Jingshen just looked at him quietly, and after a while said hoarsely: "It's nothing, I went out to do some errands, and came back on horseback."

Mo Nanjin found a set of his own underwear and said, "There is still hot water in the kitchen, you go wash it to get rid of the cold. Have you eaten yet?"

Nangong Jingshen took it over, and after a long silence, said: "Not yet, I'll be back when I'm done."

"You go take a shower first, and I'll make you a hot meal." Mo Nanjin pulled him out and closed the door carefully.

"Are the two little ones asleep?"

"I just fell asleep and didn't have a big meeting." I was still making a fuss about where Uncle Jing went.

While Nangong Jing was taking a deep bath, Mo Nanjin had already warmed up steamed buns, corn and sweet potatoes on a plate, made some porridge, thought for a while and took out a garlic plate and a spicy plate from the cabinet.

An oil lamp was lit on the table, and Nangong sat quietly by the table. First, he took a vegetable bun. The surface was not white, but it tasted very strong and the filling was delicious. In this cold night, eat a hot bun. Drinking a bowl of porridge again, it couldn't be more comfortable.

"Is the saltiness okay? Do you want to add some pickles?"

"No, it's just right." Nangong Jingshen had already picked up the second one.

"Where's Gu Shisan? Didn't he go out with you?"

"There are still some things that haven't been finished. I will let him come back to me after finishing."

"Oh..." Mo Nanjin yawned so sleepy.

"You're sleepy, go back to sleep first."

"Eat quickly and go back together."

Nangong Jing heard the words deeply, and there was a look of struggle in his eyes.

Xiao Jin, what is the relationship between you and Uncle Huang?Why did he come to look for you at this time?
