Interstellar female dressed as country dude
Chapter 91
Xie Huaiyu laughed mockingly, and threw the letter into the brazier with a calm expression on his face.
Xiaoshu was full of anger, and kept muttering repeatedly: "I don't know what this Mrs. Lou said in front of the master. It's really too much, and he won't even let you go back during the Chinese New Year. Those people in Jieshi Jingzhong don't know how to talk about it!"
"It doesn't matter." Xie Huaiyu said, "It's better like this."
Yu Bi also cast a mocking look at Xiao Shu and said, "If you miss the capital, I'll let you go back for a few months?"
After hearing this, Xiao Shu said with a frowning face, "Young master, please spare me! Don't make fun of me. I still have a way to survive when you are here. If I go back to Beijing alone, it will be a dead end?"
Xie Huaiyu laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be more comfortable here? You don't have to worry about me, I have my own ideas."
Only then did Xiaoshu nod his head, rest assured, it would be best to keep his young master happy.
Then Xie's house is cold, and he hasn't got the earth dragon yet, so there's nothing to go back to!
He found someone to make boots from the bear skin that Bai Shu sent to Xie Huaiyu before.
The bear hide is thick and oily, waterproof and snowproof.Xie Huaiyu made four pairs of boots, two pairs according to her own size, and two pairs according to Baizhu's size.
And those wolf skins, Bai Zhu left him two good ones.
Xie Huaiyu found a cobbler of Northern Xinjiang origin who was very good at making leather jackets.
The cobbler used the secret method of making leather jackets in northern Xinjiang, and split the wolf skin into countless thin strips, and then weaved it into a large leather with soft and windproof fabric, which is soft and dense.
In the end, two leather jackets were made, one gray and black and the other silver white.Xie Huaiyu kept the gray-black one, and brought the silver-white one and two pairs of leather boots to Baishu.
After Bai Shu had finished his work, when he returned to his room, he saw Xie Huaiyu put on a gray and black wolf fur coat.
The leather jacket was shiny in color, snug in shape, warm and soft, which made Xie Huaiyu's face pale and beautiful.
His eyes lit up, he looked him up and down carefully and said, "It's beautiful! It's so beautiful! This wolf fur jacket is really suitable for you. When the spring comes next year, I'll go hunt a few more and make more for you next winter." body."
Xie Huaiyu smiled and said, "Here is another suit made for you, come and try."
Bai Shu was taken aback, then saw two pairs of leather boots and a leather jacket on the table.
The leather boots are dark brown, and if you look closely, you can see a thick layer of bear fur inside, which is made of the bear skin that you brought home.
"The bearskin boots..." Bai Shu said.
"I also have two pairs, don't worry, it's just that the earth dragon is too hot to wear..." Xie Huaiyu said.
Only then did Bai Shu nod his head, put away his boots, feeling a little sweet in his heart.
He looked at the leather jacket again, the silver-gray wolf fur was quite shiny.Picking it up with his hands, the leather jacket is not heavy, but the inside is soft and light, and it is very convenient for a hyperactive person like him to wear it.
"Put it on and take a look." Xie Huaiyu opened the leather jacket and put it on over Baishu's winter clothes.
After fastening the neckline, a circle of silver fluff wrapped Bai Zhu's small face inside.It seemed that those eyes were pitch black, flickering like stars.
Xie Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, a little absent-minded, and said: "Looking at it this way, I'm actually a few years younger." The fluff made Baishu look like a teenager who hasn't reached the age of hair yet.
After hearing this, Bai Shu wanted to take off the fur coat, he already had a tender face, and he didn't like his appearance like this usually.If it's not up to Ji, it's too disrespectful.
Xie Huaiyu refused, and grabbed him with both hands, kissed the tip of his nose, then pressed his forehead against it, and said, "Don't take it off, I think it's very pretty. It looks very lovely, like a jade carved in powder."
Xiao Shu happened to come in with freshly boiled tea, and when he heard his young master's words, his eyelids twitched a few times, and he looked at Bai Zhu.
I saw that he was wearing a silver gray wolf fur jacket, and the fur on the fur jacket was trembling, which made him look like a domineering king.
Thinking back of my young master's phrase about carving jade into jade... Xiaoshu put the tea on the table without saying a word, and left with a distorted expression...
After another two days, it was the Laba Festival.
The Laba Festival is also a big day in Daxuan, especially in villages like Baitang Village, where it is also a day to worship ancestors and pray for a good harvest, so it needs to be organized by the village head.
The custom of organizing the Laba Festival in the village has a long history, and every year the major clans raise funds to hold it.
The food needed for ancestor worship was finally divided among the villagers, and each person could get a bowl of Laba porridge.
In previous years, most of the Laba porridge in the village was boiled with beans, sorghum, barley and other grains. In order to add more, some vegetables were also added.
Although the Laba porridge made in this way does not taste very good, it is still full.Although those rich families look down on them, but the poor families have to queue up early in the morning to fight.
This year's Laba Festival, Baibaoshan made a special post for Xie Huaiyu and Baishu.
When Xie Huaiyu saw it, he gave out 20 taels of silver for festival sacrifices.Baishu met and paid 20 taels.
In this way, there is a full 40 taels of silver to prepare.
With so much money, Baibaoshan was happy.As the organizer of this sacrifice, he naturally wanted to make this festival very lively.
40 taels of silver, of course Baibaoshan secretly hid some.But because he has a lot of money, he is not afraid of spending. The things and utensils are the best bought and sold, and the red candles for ancestor worship are as high as one person.
On the day of the Laba Festival, he found a few women and got up early to cook porridge.
This Laba porridge is different from the past. It is mainly made of round-grained rice and boiled in two big pots.
There are walnut kernels, pine nut kernels, gorgon seeds, lotus seeds, red dates, longan meat and other items in a pot to make a sweet taste.The other pot is made of beef, white radish, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other items to make salty mouth.
Before the Laba porridge in the two large pots came out of the pot, the fragrance wafted for several miles.
So this morning, Mrs. Huang, who was fairly well-to-do in the village, went out with a bowl, and saw the well-known rich Mrs. Zhao carrying a basin, taking her fat son out together, and ran towards the place of sacrifice.
"Mr. Zhao?" Mrs. Huang asked in surprise: "You take such a big basin, are you going to ask for porridge?"
Zhao Po saw Huang Pozi, then looked at the sea bowl in her hand, and said with a sneer, "It's auspicious."
Mrs. Huang rolled her eyes speechlessly. In previous years, she had never seen this Mrs. Zhao appear during the sacrifices. This year, she brought such a big pot to hold the porridge. I'm afraid it's not for good luck, but because she wants to come over to fill up.
She looked at the sea bowl in her hand again, feeling a little regretful.
Just now when she went out, she specially picked out a big bowl, and she was a little embarrassed, for fear that she would make a joke by pretending too much.But when she saw Mrs. Zhao's rice bowl, she felt that her bowl was really not enough!
There are so many people in the family, smelling the aroma of the porridge early in the morning, waiting to eat, why don't she go home now and change to a rice bucket...
When Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu came to the sacrificial place, they saw that the porridge place was crowded with people, forming a long line for a mile, almost every household had people coming.
There are many people in the team who have worked in Baishujia and are already familiar with him.As soon as he saw him coming, he greeted him very warmly.
Seeing these two people coming, Bai Baoshan greeted them personally and invited them to eat two bowls of Laba porridge.
Bai Zhu and the others didn't come to eat porridge on purpose, so they didn't bring bowls and chopsticks.
Xie Huaiyu was even more reluctant to touch the bowls and chopsticks used by the villagers, so he refused, and only had a glass of ancestor-worshiping wine, which was considered to be the joy of this Laba.
Xie Huaiyu's willingness to drink this wine gave Baibaoshan a lot of face. Baibaoshan was very happy and wanted to brag to the whole village.
The villagers who received the Laba porridge were also very happy. For a while, the whole Baitang Village was full of joy.
Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, especially Xie Huaiyu, whose face was often tense outside, unconsciously relaxed.
When the two returned, Bai Shu simply gave the employees half a day off, so that the villagers who settled down in Baitang Village could go home for the festival.
The rest were homeless like the four of them in spring, summer, autumn and winter, or unwilling to go back like Chef Huang. Bai Shu allowed them to rest for half a day and do whatever they thought of.
To his surprise, these people went to the back mountain to feed the deer, and they were very happy.
Bai Shu couldn't help thinking that maybe he could get more docile and easy-to-raise animals to attract tourists.
In the evening, Bai Shu asked Chef Huang to set up a table of noodles, and asked everyone from Zhuangzi to gather together, and brought his family to have a good meal.
Everyone chatting with each other, drinking and punching each other, is also very happy.
Bai Shu originally thought that as Xie Huaiyu, he would not go to such a banquet with him, but when he told the other party, Xie Huaiyu smiled and said, "Then I will go with you."
As Xie Huaiyu, sitting at the table, both Chen Dongqing and Huang Chef were quite nervous.
After Xie Huaiyu sat down, he told them not to bother with him, and just do their own thing.Xiaoshu was also brought down and sat down with everyone.
After a while, Chef Huang presented the prepared noodles one by one, and set up a full table.
At this time, except for the workers in the two villages who were going home for dinner, all other employees were present.
Even Wang Mutou was invited and brought his three sons to play with Chen Dongqing's Li'er.
The food was on the table, but everyone dared not move their chopsticks.
Even Wang Mutou's youngest son looked at Xie Huaiyu eagerly, waiting for him to move the first chopsticks.
Xie Huaiyu smiled.Bai Shu was overjoyed when he saw this, so he served him soup for a whole night and said, "Eat first, otherwise they won't dare to move."
Xie Huaiyu shook his head helplessly and drank the hot soup.
Seeing that he moved his chopsticks, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and several children rushed to grab the salt and pepper pork ribs and ate them.
Xie Huaiyu ate for a while and was [-]% full.Seeing that everyone really couldn't let go, he got up and left with an excuse, so as to give them some space.
Xiaoshu was happy to eat, seeing that Xie Huaiyu was about to leave, he put down his chopsticks to follow.
Bai Shu pushed him down and let him continue to eat and drink, while he followed Xie Huaiyu and sent him up personally.
After Bai Shu followed Xie Huaiyu back to the room, Xie Huaiyu rubbed his head and said, "You've only eaten so much, so go down first. If I knew this would happen, I should eat on it myself, so as not to embarrass everyone .”
Bai Shu felt a little distressed when he heard it, hugged Xie Huaiyu and said, "They are afraid of your status as the son of the Xie family, not you, don't blame them."
Xie Huaiyu nodded with a smile and said, "I know how to blame them for this kind of thing. It's just that everyone envies my identity, but for me, it's a burden. At the same time, I will also I envy the happiness of these rural villagers."
He appeased Bai Shu and sent him down.He himself was reading books and drawing pictures above, which was not interesting.
When Bai Shu returned to the hall, he saw Xie Huaiyu leaving, and everyone let go a lot. After a few cups of yellow soup, everyone was a little excited.
Seeing him come back, they pulled him into the banquet.Xiaoshu also got up and served him a meal, asking him to eat more.
When encountering those who came to persuade them to drink, they stepped back one by one.
His young master was not around, so he wanted to help him take care of Bai Shu.
After everyone ate and quarreled for a while, they probably all drank a little too much.Bai Shu saw that Chen Dongqing's expression was not right, and he sat alone at the corner of the table, drinking by himself, a little unhappy.
Bai Shu remembered that Xie Huaiyu had told him that there was some friendship between Chen Dongqing and Wang Mumu, so he went to see Wang Mumu again.
Then he found that Wang Mutou was being pulled by the yellow cook to brag, but at the same time he was peeking at Chen Dongqing, his eyes still a little dodge.
Bai Shu observed for a while, only to find that the two of them hadn't spoken to each other once during the meal.
After the banquet was over, everyone went back to their homes.
Bai Shu asked Xiaoshu to take care of Xie Huaiyu first, while he went to Chen Dongqing's room, knocked on the door, and asked him what was going on with Wang Mumu at the banquet today.
Chen Dongqing had coaxed Lier to sleep at this time, when Bai Shu suddenly mentioned Wang Mumu, her face became hot.
He also knew that Bai Shu might have seen something, so he sighed and confessed to him honestly: "I don't know what's going on between me and Wang Mutou!"
Chen Dongqing originally suppressed it by herself, but now that Bai Shu was willing to listen, she poured out a lot of bitterness about the matter between herself and Wang Mutou.
It turned out that before Baishu asked Chen Dongqing to deliver fish, he often had contact with Wang Mumu.After going back and forth, the two understood each other's nature, and they could be regarded as having some appreciation for each other.
If that was the case, there would be nothing to talk about between the two of them, but after Chen Dongqing reconciled and left, Wang Mutou took good care of him.
If there is something inconvenient for his brother, just tell Wang Mutou, and he will help him deal with it.
Now Chen Dongqing bought a few acres of land, but Wang Mumu was helping him cultivate it, and he didn't receive any money.
Chen Dongqing knows how to repay his kindness, so he often makes some needles and threads and sends them to the other party, and takes good care of him and his son.
During the period when Baishu went to the capital, Chen Dongqing's natal family came to find him and wanted to talk to him about another family.It was Wang Mutou who went over to help him drive away those who found fault.
From then on, Chen Dongqing felt more affection towards Wang Mumu.I feel that this is a trustworthy person, and I get closer to him by two points.
Hearing this, Bai Shu smiled and said: "In this way, it is a good thing for you two to help each other. He is about the same age as you, and he is quite a good match. Why are you still so troubled?"
Chen Dongqing sighed and said: "I thought Wang Mutou might be interested in me at first, but now it seems that I'm just pretending to be sentimental."
It turned out that although Wang Mutou was kind to him, when he got along with him, he was rigid and never overstepped the rules.
"Once when I saw him like this, I tried to test him out and asked him what kind of family I should find if I remarried." Chen Dongqing said, "But he said, I want to find someone rich enough to match you." Yes. As for himself, he didn't mention it at all."
Bai Shu was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but said, "Why is this so?"
Looking at Wang Mumu's expression during the dinner, he was indeed interested in Chen Dongqing.
"You were not there just now, so you didn't know." Chen Dongqing shook her head and said, "I just mentioned on purpose during the dinner that a matchmaker came to me and wanted to match me."
He paused and said: "The other people didn't say anything during the dinner, and Xiao Shu persuaded me to think more. But this Wang Mutou said that he would congratulate me. If I find a good man, don't forget to treat him to dinner." Wine. What do you think it is?"
Chen Dongqing was full of anger.Bai Shu smiled, and felt that what Wang Mutou said seemed to not care who Chen Dongqing wanted to marry.
"That's all!" Chen Dongqing said: "Now that he's earning a lot of money, he probably doesn't think much of a childless brother like me. From now on, I just want to stay away from him and be an ordinary neighbor."
Chen Dongqing was depressed, and Bai Shu felt a little regretful, so he said to him: "Don't worry, Wang Mutou didn't express his thoughts in person, and I don't know if he thinks so. Since he is helping you everywhere now, Naturally, it doesn't mean that you have no intentions. It's better to find someone to ask, so as to know his inner thoughts."
After hearing this, Chen Dongqing hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.After all, without knowing Wang Mutou's thoughts, it is a pity that the relationship between the two has broken up like this.
The next day, Bai Shu found Cook Huang and asked him to talk to Wang Mutou and ask what Wang Mutou meant.
Chef Huang is not young, and he is also very smart. Although he has never married a wife, he has some experiences.
Let him ask Wang Mutou, but after a few sentences, Wang Mutou confessed to him.
When the cook Huang came back, he talked to Bai Shu, and Bai Shu knew that Wang Mutou had no intention of loving Chen Dongqing.
Wang Mutou's life is easier now, and it's not that no one wants to marry him, but he is firm and rejects all those yellow-flowered girls.
He originally thought that Chen Dongqing was a nice person, and he also had some interest in him, so he was quite attentive.
But Chen Dongqing was promoted several levels by Bai Shu, and Yueyin also increased a lot.I went to the village to learn writing and abacus by myself, and I was quite motivated.
In contrast, Wang Mutou is very mediocre, he only takes care of Baizhu's fish pond and a few acres of land, although he earns a lot, he is far behind Chen Dongqing.
When Wang Mutou looked at Chen Dongqing again, he felt ashamed and felt that he was not good enough for him.
Even if Chen Dongqing was kind to him, but in his heart he always thought that he couldn't afford it.
Bai Shu was speechless when he heard what Huang Chuzi said, and felt that Wang Mutou was very useless.
If the one I love is strong, I have to encourage him even more. How can I be so self-deprecating and simply give up.
But this is a matter between Wang Mutou and Chen Dongqing, and it needs to be resolved by the two of them.
Bai Shu then told Chen Dongqing all the news he got, and let him make up his own mind.
After Chen Dongqing heard about it, she was a little angry, but she was more relieved.
Annoyed that Wang Mumu was so ignorant, and relieved that he was not wishful thinking, and the love between the two of them was not his own illusion.
"How do you plan to stay?" Bai Shu asked.
Chen Dongqing thought for a while and then said: "I'm going to make it clear to him, don't let it be so vague. If he still shrinks back, then this kind of marriage is fine."
Bai Shu heard the words and nodded, showing a hint of a smile.
Chen Dongqing used to be a yes person, but now he has changed a lot.When encountering this kind of thing today, he took the initiative to solve it instead of waiting for the other party to give him an answer. It was much more decisive.
Since Chen Dongqing left Zhao Er, she followed Bai Shu as an example all the way and tried to solve everything by herself.
After going back and forth, he also tasted the benefits of this time.I understand the value of independence better, so I am no longer passive when encountering the current situation, I just want to wait for the other party to respond.
After thinking about it, he didn't want to waste time, so he went directly to the fish pond to find Wang Mumu, very straightforward.
After seeing Wang Mutou, without waiting for the other party to say anything, he went straight over and said, "Wang Mutou, what do you mean to me? If you like me, then let's go after me. If you don't like me, we will break up with each other in the future. I I will not entrust you to take care of the property, and we should make it clear that we should not have too much contact."
Wang Mutou was stunned, his whole body turned red from head to toe, and he didn't know what to do when Chen Dongqing suddenly asked him this question.
At this time, Chen Dongqing was standing in front of him. Although she didn't say she was very pretty, she was neat and tidy, with a very refreshing demeanor.Calling Wang Mutou is both admiration and shame.
Although he has one or two months of silver in January, he still has three sons to raise.Chen Dongqing already has five or two months of silver.
Not to mention that Chen Dongqing is now living in Baiyu Villa with Li'er, and has even bought several fertile fields.Even in Baitang Village, they are among the rich households.
He originally wanted to silently guard the other side so that if he no longer married, he could take care of him.If he finds a sweetheart, he will wish him a good husband.
But now what Chen Dongqing meant was that if they were not together, then he would have to break up with him, and there was no need to be friends.
He thought about it, hesitating for a while, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would climb up to the other party, and on the other hand, he thought that he would have nothing to do with the other party in the future, and he was suffering again.
Seeing him like this, Chen Dongqing's heart sank, she shook her head and said, "If you can't even make a decision like this, then let's break up, and save ourselves the trouble of learning from each other."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation. Although he felt reluctant, he also felt relieved.
Before he took a few steps, Chen Dongqing suddenly stopped and was hugged from behind.
It turned out that Wang Mutou was anxious when he saw that he was going to leave, and he hugged him without thinking about anything else.
"You...you don't go!" Wang Mutou stammered a little, and said as if mustering up his courage: "I...I am happy with you!"
Chen Dongqing also blushed at this moment.
Wang Mutou is really a log on weekdays, but at this time he hugged him from behind, and he did not let go.
"I... I'm going to ask Baishu for leave right now, and go to the county to buy a dowry. I'll go to you to propose marriage tomorrow!" Wang Mutou said vigorously.
"Let go first." Chen Dongqing said hastily, "How can I talk to you like this?"
Only then did Wang Mutou let go of his hand, and Chen Dongqing turned around, with a trace of shyness on his face, and said, "Is what you just said true?"
The author has something to say: Xie Huaiyu: Atractylodes powder carving jade
Little tree: ...
Xiaoshu was full of anger, and kept muttering repeatedly: "I don't know what this Mrs. Lou said in front of the master. It's really too much, and he won't even let you go back during the Chinese New Year. Those people in Jieshi Jingzhong don't know how to talk about it!"
"It doesn't matter." Xie Huaiyu said, "It's better like this."
Yu Bi also cast a mocking look at Xiao Shu and said, "If you miss the capital, I'll let you go back for a few months?"
After hearing this, Xiao Shu said with a frowning face, "Young master, please spare me! Don't make fun of me. I still have a way to survive when you are here. If I go back to Beijing alone, it will be a dead end?"
Xie Huaiyu laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be more comfortable here? You don't have to worry about me, I have my own ideas."
Only then did Xiaoshu nod his head, rest assured, it would be best to keep his young master happy.
Then Xie's house is cold, and he hasn't got the earth dragon yet, so there's nothing to go back to!
He found someone to make boots from the bear skin that Bai Shu sent to Xie Huaiyu before.
The bear hide is thick and oily, waterproof and snowproof.Xie Huaiyu made four pairs of boots, two pairs according to her own size, and two pairs according to Baizhu's size.
And those wolf skins, Bai Zhu left him two good ones.
Xie Huaiyu found a cobbler of Northern Xinjiang origin who was very good at making leather jackets.
The cobbler used the secret method of making leather jackets in northern Xinjiang, and split the wolf skin into countless thin strips, and then weaved it into a large leather with soft and windproof fabric, which is soft and dense.
In the end, two leather jackets were made, one gray and black and the other silver white.Xie Huaiyu kept the gray-black one, and brought the silver-white one and two pairs of leather boots to Baishu.
After Bai Shu had finished his work, when he returned to his room, he saw Xie Huaiyu put on a gray and black wolf fur coat.
The leather jacket was shiny in color, snug in shape, warm and soft, which made Xie Huaiyu's face pale and beautiful.
His eyes lit up, he looked him up and down carefully and said, "It's beautiful! It's so beautiful! This wolf fur jacket is really suitable for you. When the spring comes next year, I'll go hunt a few more and make more for you next winter." body."
Xie Huaiyu smiled and said, "Here is another suit made for you, come and try."
Bai Shu was taken aback, then saw two pairs of leather boots and a leather jacket on the table.
The leather boots are dark brown, and if you look closely, you can see a thick layer of bear fur inside, which is made of the bear skin that you brought home.
"The bearskin boots..." Bai Shu said.
"I also have two pairs, don't worry, it's just that the earth dragon is too hot to wear..." Xie Huaiyu said.
Only then did Bai Shu nod his head, put away his boots, feeling a little sweet in his heart.
He looked at the leather jacket again, the silver-gray wolf fur was quite shiny.Picking it up with his hands, the leather jacket is not heavy, but the inside is soft and light, and it is very convenient for a hyperactive person like him to wear it.
"Put it on and take a look." Xie Huaiyu opened the leather jacket and put it on over Baishu's winter clothes.
After fastening the neckline, a circle of silver fluff wrapped Bai Zhu's small face inside.It seemed that those eyes were pitch black, flickering like stars.
Xie Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, a little absent-minded, and said: "Looking at it this way, I'm actually a few years younger." The fluff made Baishu look like a teenager who hasn't reached the age of hair yet.
After hearing this, Bai Shu wanted to take off the fur coat, he already had a tender face, and he didn't like his appearance like this usually.If it's not up to Ji, it's too disrespectful.
Xie Huaiyu refused, and grabbed him with both hands, kissed the tip of his nose, then pressed his forehead against it, and said, "Don't take it off, I think it's very pretty. It looks very lovely, like a jade carved in powder."
Xiao Shu happened to come in with freshly boiled tea, and when he heard his young master's words, his eyelids twitched a few times, and he looked at Bai Zhu.
I saw that he was wearing a silver gray wolf fur jacket, and the fur on the fur jacket was trembling, which made him look like a domineering king.
Thinking back of my young master's phrase about carving jade into jade... Xiaoshu put the tea on the table without saying a word, and left with a distorted expression...
After another two days, it was the Laba Festival.
The Laba Festival is also a big day in Daxuan, especially in villages like Baitang Village, where it is also a day to worship ancestors and pray for a good harvest, so it needs to be organized by the village head.
The custom of organizing the Laba Festival in the village has a long history, and every year the major clans raise funds to hold it.
The food needed for ancestor worship was finally divided among the villagers, and each person could get a bowl of Laba porridge.
In previous years, most of the Laba porridge in the village was boiled with beans, sorghum, barley and other grains. In order to add more, some vegetables were also added.
Although the Laba porridge made in this way does not taste very good, it is still full.Although those rich families look down on them, but the poor families have to queue up early in the morning to fight.
This year's Laba Festival, Baibaoshan made a special post for Xie Huaiyu and Baishu.
When Xie Huaiyu saw it, he gave out 20 taels of silver for festival sacrifices.Baishu met and paid 20 taels.
In this way, there is a full 40 taels of silver to prepare.
With so much money, Baibaoshan was happy.As the organizer of this sacrifice, he naturally wanted to make this festival very lively.
40 taels of silver, of course Baibaoshan secretly hid some.But because he has a lot of money, he is not afraid of spending. The things and utensils are the best bought and sold, and the red candles for ancestor worship are as high as one person.
On the day of the Laba Festival, he found a few women and got up early to cook porridge.
This Laba porridge is different from the past. It is mainly made of round-grained rice and boiled in two big pots.
There are walnut kernels, pine nut kernels, gorgon seeds, lotus seeds, red dates, longan meat and other items in a pot to make a sweet taste.The other pot is made of beef, white radish, bamboo shoots, mushrooms and other items to make salty mouth.
Before the Laba porridge in the two large pots came out of the pot, the fragrance wafted for several miles.
So this morning, Mrs. Huang, who was fairly well-to-do in the village, went out with a bowl, and saw the well-known rich Mrs. Zhao carrying a basin, taking her fat son out together, and ran towards the place of sacrifice.
"Mr. Zhao?" Mrs. Huang asked in surprise: "You take such a big basin, are you going to ask for porridge?"
Zhao Po saw Huang Pozi, then looked at the sea bowl in her hand, and said with a sneer, "It's auspicious."
Mrs. Huang rolled her eyes speechlessly. In previous years, she had never seen this Mrs. Zhao appear during the sacrifices. This year, she brought such a big pot to hold the porridge. I'm afraid it's not for good luck, but because she wants to come over to fill up.
She looked at the sea bowl in her hand again, feeling a little regretful.
Just now when she went out, she specially picked out a big bowl, and she was a little embarrassed, for fear that she would make a joke by pretending too much.But when she saw Mrs. Zhao's rice bowl, she felt that her bowl was really not enough!
There are so many people in the family, smelling the aroma of the porridge early in the morning, waiting to eat, why don't she go home now and change to a rice bucket...
When Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu came to the sacrificial place, they saw that the porridge place was crowded with people, forming a long line for a mile, almost every household had people coming.
There are many people in the team who have worked in Baishujia and are already familiar with him.As soon as he saw him coming, he greeted him very warmly.
Seeing these two people coming, Bai Baoshan greeted them personally and invited them to eat two bowls of Laba porridge.
Bai Zhu and the others didn't come to eat porridge on purpose, so they didn't bring bowls and chopsticks.
Xie Huaiyu was even more reluctant to touch the bowls and chopsticks used by the villagers, so he refused, and only had a glass of ancestor-worshiping wine, which was considered to be the joy of this Laba.
Xie Huaiyu's willingness to drink this wine gave Baibaoshan a lot of face. Baibaoshan was very happy and wanted to brag to the whole village.
The villagers who received the Laba porridge were also very happy. For a while, the whole Baitang Village was full of joy.
Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu seemed to be infected by this atmosphere, especially Xie Huaiyu, whose face was often tense outside, unconsciously relaxed.
When the two returned, Bai Shu simply gave the employees half a day off, so that the villagers who settled down in Baitang Village could go home for the festival.
The rest were homeless like the four of them in spring, summer, autumn and winter, or unwilling to go back like Chef Huang. Bai Shu allowed them to rest for half a day and do whatever they thought of.
To his surprise, these people went to the back mountain to feed the deer, and they were very happy.
Bai Shu couldn't help thinking that maybe he could get more docile and easy-to-raise animals to attract tourists.
In the evening, Bai Shu asked Chef Huang to set up a table of noodles, and asked everyone from Zhuangzi to gather together, and brought his family to have a good meal.
Everyone chatting with each other, drinking and punching each other, is also very happy.
Bai Shu originally thought that as Xie Huaiyu, he would not go to such a banquet with him, but when he told the other party, Xie Huaiyu smiled and said, "Then I will go with you."
As Xie Huaiyu, sitting at the table, both Chen Dongqing and Huang Chef were quite nervous.
After Xie Huaiyu sat down, he told them not to bother with him, and just do their own thing.Xiaoshu was also brought down and sat down with everyone.
After a while, Chef Huang presented the prepared noodles one by one, and set up a full table.
At this time, except for the workers in the two villages who were going home for dinner, all other employees were present.
Even Wang Mutou was invited and brought his three sons to play with Chen Dongqing's Li'er.
The food was on the table, but everyone dared not move their chopsticks.
Even Wang Mutou's youngest son looked at Xie Huaiyu eagerly, waiting for him to move the first chopsticks.
Xie Huaiyu smiled.Bai Shu was overjoyed when he saw this, so he served him soup for a whole night and said, "Eat first, otherwise they won't dare to move."
Xie Huaiyu shook his head helplessly and drank the hot soup.
Seeing that he moved his chopsticks, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and several children rushed to grab the salt and pepper pork ribs and ate them.
Xie Huaiyu ate for a while and was [-]% full.Seeing that everyone really couldn't let go, he got up and left with an excuse, so as to give them some space.
Xiaoshu was happy to eat, seeing that Xie Huaiyu was about to leave, he put down his chopsticks to follow.
Bai Shu pushed him down and let him continue to eat and drink, while he followed Xie Huaiyu and sent him up personally.
After Bai Shu followed Xie Huaiyu back to the room, Xie Huaiyu rubbed his head and said, "You've only eaten so much, so go down first. If I knew this would happen, I should eat on it myself, so as not to embarrass everyone .”
Bai Shu felt a little distressed when he heard it, hugged Xie Huaiyu and said, "They are afraid of your status as the son of the Xie family, not you, don't blame them."
Xie Huaiyu nodded with a smile and said, "I know how to blame them for this kind of thing. It's just that everyone envies my identity, but for me, it's a burden. At the same time, I will also I envy the happiness of these rural villagers."
He appeased Bai Shu and sent him down.He himself was reading books and drawing pictures above, which was not interesting.
When Bai Shu returned to the hall, he saw Xie Huaiyu leaving, and everyone let go a lot. After a few cups of yellow soup, everyone was a little excited.
Seeing him come back, they pulled him into the banquet.Xiaoshu also got up and served him a meal, asking him to eat more.
When encountering those who came to persuade them to drink, they stepped back one by one.
His young master was not around, so he wanted to help him take care of Bai Shu.
After everyone ate and quarreled for a while, they probably all drank a little too much.Bai Shu saw that Chen Dongqing's expression was not right, and he sat alone at the corner of the table, drinking by himself, a little unhappy.
Bai Shu remembered that Xie Huaiyu had told him that there was some friendship between Chen Dongqing and Wang Mumu, so he went to see Wang Mumu again.
Then he found that Wang Mutou was being pulled by the yellow cook to brag, but at the same time he was peeking at Chen Dongqing, his eyes still a little dodge.
Bai Shu observed for a while, only to find that the two of them hadn't spoken to each other once during the meal.
After the banquet was over, everyone went back to their homes.
Bai Shu asked Xiaoshu to take care of Xie Huaiyu first, while he went to Chen Dongqing's room, knocked on the door, and asked him what was going on with Wang Mumu at the banquet today.
Chen Dongqing had coaxed Lier to sleep at this time, when Bai Shu suddenly mentioned Wang Mumu, her face became hot.
He also knew that Bai Shu might have seen something, so he sighed and confessed to him honestly: "I don't know what's going on between me and Wang Mutou!"
Chen Dongqing originally suppressed it by herself, but now that Bai Shu was willing to listen, she poured out a lot of bitterness about the matter between herself and Wang Mutou.
It turned out that before Baishu asked Chen Dongqing to deliver fish, he often had contact with Wang Mumu.After going back and forth, the two understood each other's nature, and they could be regarded as having some appreciation for each other.
If that was the case, there would be nothing to talk about between the two of them, but after Chen Dongqing reconciled and left, Wang Mutou took good care of him.
If there is something inconvenient for his brother, just tell Wang Mutou, and he will help him deal with it.
Now Chen Dongqing bought a few acres of land, but Wang Mumu was helping him cultivate it, and he didn't receive any money.
Chen Dongqing knows how to repay his kindness, so he often makes some needles and threads and sends them to the other party, and takes good care of him and his son.
During the period when Baishu went to the capital, Chen Dongqing's natal family came to find him and wanted to talk to him about another family.It was Wang Mutou who went over to help him drive away those who found fault.
From then on, Chen Dongqing felt more affection towards Wang Mumu.I feel that this is a trustworthy person, and I get closer to him by two points.
Hearing this, Bai Shu smiled and said: "In this way, it is a good thing for you two to help each other. He is about the same age as you, and he is quite a good match. Why are you still so troubled?"
Chen Dongqing sighed and said: "I thought Wang Mutou might be interested in me at first, but now it seems that I'm just pretending to be sentimental."
It turned out that although Wang Mutou was kind to him, when he got along with him, he was rigid and never overstepped the rules.
"Once when I saw him like this, I tried to test him out and asked him what kind of family I should find if I remarried." Chen Dongqing said, "But he said, I want to find someone rich enough to match you." Yes. As for himself, he didn't mention it at all."
Bai Shu was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but said, "Why is this so?"
Looking at Wang Mumu's expression during the dinner, he was indeed interested in Chen Dongqing.
"You were not there just now, so you didn't know." Chen Dongqing shook her head and said, "I just mentioned on purpose during the dinner that a matchmaker came to me and wanted to match me."
He paused and said: "The other people didn't say anything during the dinner, and Xiao Shu persuaded me to think more. But this Wang Mutou said that he would congratulate me. If I find a good man, don't forget to treat him to dinner." Wine. What do you think it is?"
Chen Dongqing was full of anger.Bai Shu smiled, and felt that what Wang Mutou said seemed to not care who Chen Dongqing wanted to marry.
"That's all!" Chen Dongqing said: "Now that he's earning a lot of money, he probably doesn't think much of a childless brother like me. From now on, I just want to stay away from him and be an ordinary neighbor."
Chen Dongqing was depressed, and Bai Shu felt a little regretful, so he said to him: "Don't worry, Wang Mutou didn't express his thoughts in person, and I don't know if he thinks so. Since he is helping you everywhere now, Naturally, it doesn't mean that you have no intentions. It's better to find someone to ask, so as to know his inner thoughts."
After hearing this, Chen Dongqing hesitated for a while, then nodded in agreement.After all, without knowing Wang Mutou's thoughts, it is a pity that the relationship between the two has broken up like this.
The next day, Bai Shu found Cook Huang and asked him to talk to Wang Mutou and ask what Wang Mutou meant.
Chef Huang is not young, and he is also very smart. Although he has never married a wife, he has some experiences.
Let him ask Wang Mutou, but after a few sentences, Wang Mutou confessed to him.
When the cook Huang came back, he talked to Bai Shu, and Bai Shu knew that Wang Mutou had no intention of loving Chen Dongqing.
Wang Mutou's life is easier now, and it's not that no one wants to marry him, but he is firm and rejects all those yellow-flowered girls.
He originally thought that Chen Dongqing was a nice person, and he also had some interest in him, so he was quite attentive.
But Chen Dongqing was promoted several levels by Bai Shu, and Yueyin also increased a lot.I went to the village to learn writing and abacus by myself, and I was quite motivated.
In contrast, Wang Mutou is very mediocre, he only takes care of Baizhu's fish pond and a few acres of land, although he earns a lot, he is far behind Chen Dongqing.
When Wang Mutou looked at Chen Dongqing again, he felt ashamed and felt that he was not good enough for him.
Even if Chen Dongqing was kind to him, but in his heart he always thought that he couldn't afford it.
Bai Shu was speechless when he heard what Huang Chuzi said, and felt that Wang Mutou was very useless.
If the one I love is strong, I have to encourage him even more. How can I be so self-deprecating and simply give up.
But this is a matter between Wang Mutou and Chen Dongqing, and it needs to be resolved by the two of them.
Bai Shu then told Chen Dongqing all the news he got, and let him make up his own mind.
After Chen Dongqing heard about it, she was a little angry, but she was more relieved.
Annoyed that Wang Mumu was so ignorant, and relieved that he was not wishful thinking, and the love between the two of them was not his own illusion.
"How do you plan to stay?" Bai Shu asked.
Chen Dongqing thought for a while and then said: "I'm going to make it clear to him, don't let it be so vague. If he still shrinks back, then this kind of marriage is fine."
Bai Shu heard the words and nodded, showing a hint of a smile.
Chen Dongqing used to be a yes person, but now he has changed a lot.When encountering this kind of thing today, he took the initiative to solve it instead of waiting for the other party to give him an answer. It was much more decisive.
Since Chen Dongqing left Zhao Er, she followed Bai Shu as an example all the way and tried to solve everything by herself.
After going back and forth, he also tasted the benefits of this time.I understand the value of independence better, so I am no longer passive when encountering the current situation, I just want to wait for the other party to respond.
After thinking about it, he didn't want to waste time, so he went directly to the fish pond to find Wang Mumu, very straightforward.
After seeing Wang Mutou, without waiting for the other party to say anything, he went straight over and said, "Wang Mutou, what do you mean to me? If you like me, then let's go after me. If you don't like me, we will break up with each other in the future. I I will not entrust you to take care of the property, and we should make it clear that we should not have too much contact."
Wang Mutou was stunned, his whole body turned red from head to toe, and he didn't know what to do when Chen Dongqing suddenly asked him this question.
At this time, Chen Dongqing was standing in front of him. Although she didn't say she was very pretty, she was neat and tidy, with a very refreshing demeanor.Calling Wang Mutou is both admiration and shame.
Although he has one or two months of silver in January, he still has three sons to raise.Chen Dongqing already has five or two months of silver.
Not to mention that Chen Dongqing is now living in Baiyu Villa with Li'er, and has even bought several fertile fields.Even in Baitang Village, they are among the rich households.
He originally wanted to silently guard the other side so that if he no longer married, he could take care of him.If he finds a sweetheart, he will wish him a good husband.
But now what Chen Dongqing meant was that if they were not together, then he would have to break up with him, and there was no need to be friends.
He thought about it, hesitating for a while, on the one hand, he was afraid that he would climb up to the other party, and on the other hand, he thought that he would have nothing to do with the other party in the future, and he was suffering again.
Seeing him like this, Chen Dongqing's heart sank, she shook her head and said, "If you can't even make a decision like this, then let's break up, and save ourselves the trouble of learning from each other."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without hesitation. Although he felt reluctant, he also felt relieved.
Before he took a few steps, Chen Dongqing suddenly stopped and was hugged from behind.
It turned out that Wang Mutou was anxious when he saw that he was going to leave, and he hugged him without thinking about anything else.
"You...you don't go!" Wang Mutou stammered a little, and said as if mustering up his courage: "I...I am happy with you!"
Chen Dongqing also blushed at this moment.
Wang Mutou is really a log on weekdays, but at this time he hugged him from behind, and he did not let go.
"I... I'm going to ask Baishu for leave right now, and go to the county to buy a dowry. I'll go to you to propose marriage tomorrow!" Wang Mutou said vigorously.
"Let go first." Chen Dongqing said hastily, "How can I talk to you like this?"
Only then did Wang Mutou let go of his hand, and Chen Dongqing turned around, with a trace of shyness on his face, and said, "Is what you just said true?"
