Aunt Li also said, "jing'er, don't say that about your sister. She also has a problem."
Li Jing shrugged indifferently: "take it as if I didn't say it."
Li Lian pursed her lips discontentedly: "how come my brother doesn't care about me at all?"
Li Jing almost laughed: "I don't care about you? As soon as I heard that you were going to marry Cao min, I was very anxious. Who was kind enough to tell others that we treated you badly? "
In Li Jing's opinion, it's OK for her family to shut the door. However, in order to marry Cao min, Li Lian even told outsiders how her family scolded her. She also went to collude with Cao's family and tried to force them to let her marry.
Li Jingzhen's heart is cold.
"Brother, I just complained with a-ling. I didn't expect that she would tell others and make everyone know..." Li Lian lowered her head and saw a trace of resentment in her eyes. She did not expect that her best friend would secretly arrange her bad words!
Li Jing sneered. Now his family has become the second grandma Xu. I don't know how many people are pointing at them behind their backs these two days.
Let Li Lian marry in the past, is greedy for the Cao family's money, is to push her to the pit of fire, do not let Li Lian marry in the past, is to delay her happiness, is selfish, want to use her daughter for more interests.
Now no matter what their family does, they can't avoid being criticized.
The culprit for all this is Li Lian.
How can Li Jing not be angry or resentful in order to get his family into trouble.
The next day, when Xu Qing was drying hot peppers at home, Li Jinmei said that the patriarch finally agreed to Li Lian's marriage and let Li Lian marry Cao min.
However, their marriage is not so fast. According to the custom, they have to get engaged first and choose a good day. The wedding process will take at least two or three months.
It's not like Xu Qing's hasty marriage to Li Changting and the daughter of a poor family. No one says anything at all. But the patriarch's family and Cao's family are both famous and powerful. It's a big deal to get married. Naturally, it's impossible to be as perfunctory as Xu Qing and Li Changting.
It's no surprise that Xu expected this in the early morning.
She is not interested in other people's home, she is more concerned about the oven at home.
The oven has been finished. It is divided into two layers. A circle of iron hook extends from the brick of the lower layer. It's very convenient for baking steamed buns or chicken and duck. The upper layer is larger, which is convenient for baking cakes.
The master who built the oven paid his wages and left. Xu Qing was in the kitchen and preparing to make some moon cakes to see if the oven worked well.
"Is Hunter Lee at home?"
"Yes."
Li Jinmei answered first. Looking at the people, she found that she was a young man with a pretty face: "who are you?"
The young man smiles politely, but he doesn't go in. Outside the yard, he takes out a letter from his chest: "this is a letter that someone asked me to bring to hunter Li. I asked me to give it to him personally. Is he at home?"
Li Changting came out of the room, took the letter from the boy and said to him, "thank you."
The boy laughed and waved away.
"Whose letter?" Li Jinmei asked curiously.
"He's the owner of Haowei restaurant." Li Changting opened the letter and glanced at it. "Last time he bought our food, this time he said he wanted to buy some more."
"Oh." Li Jinmei said with a smile, "that's a good thing! I'm worried that I can't finish all the dishes at home! "
Li Changting goes to the kitchen and shows the letter to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing
Seriously, she has some difficulty in reading traditional Chinese characters.
Li Changting: "haven't you ever studied?"
Xu Qingbai glanced at him: "after three years of study, as soon as my father died, Xu grandma would not let me read it. She said that it was better to help me at home than to waste money."
"It's OK. It doesn't matter if you can't read. I'll read it to you later." Li Changting touched Xu Qing's head and comforted him.
Xu Qing answered vaguely, she is not illiterate, how to say also went to university, it is difficult to recognize traditional characters, but she can't explain, forget it.
Hao Wei wrote a letter, and two thirds of the whole story was praising how delicious Xu Qing's food was, and the order came after it.
"OK, when I make moon cakes, I'll pick the dishes." Xu Qingdao.
Li Changting thought, "my sister and I will go to collect some vegetables from the garden first. If we don't have enough, we will pick the ones from the inside."
Xu Qing nodded: "OK."
Even the dishes in the garden outside are watered by Xu Qing with spring water every day. Although they are not as good as those in the space, they are much better than ordinary dishes.
Now the two have reached a tacit agreement that they can sell the vegetables outside, and their families will eat the vegetables planted in the space.
Xu Qing doesn't know how high the temperature is in the oven. She can only put the moon cakes in batches to bake, and slowly explore the rules.
After Xu Qing baked all the moon cakes, Li Changting and Li Jinmei had almost finished the dishes.
"Do you want to borrow the ox cart from the patriarch's house?" Li Jinmei was embarrassed to ask about this. After all, yesterday, the patriarch had something to ask them for help, but they didn't help anything. On weekdays, they had to trouble the patriarch for so many things."No, I'll wait for Uncle Zhang's donkey cart outside the village and ask him to deliver the goods." Li Changting road.
Li Jinmei's eyes brightened: "this is good!" It's better to pay for yourself than to trouble others.
"Come and taste my moon cake." Xu Qing took out the moon cakes that had been baked better several times.
"What's the filling?" Li Jinmei can't wait to taste. The cakes sold in the town are so expensive that she can only eat them during the Spring Festival.
"Mung bean stuffing and red bean stuffing, I put less sugar, not very sweet." Xu Qing said to Li Tinghui.
Li Changting just took a bite of the mung bean stuffing. It was his favorite stuffing. The mung bean is sweet and refreshing. It's very delicious with a slightly burnt cake skin.
Li Jinmei said delicious, exclaimed repeatedly: "to tell you the truth, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious moon cakes!"
Xu Qing tasted one, but was not very satisfied. It was still a little less than what she imagined.
After lunch, the three piled the vegetables neatly into the big bamboo basket, sprinkled more water and covered them with straw mats to avoid being damaged by the sun.
Not long after, Uncle Zhang's donkey cart stopped at the foot of the mountain. Because Li Changting gave him enough money, Uncle Zhang also helped him move vegetables up the mountain for free.
Li Changting went to deliver the dishes. When he came back, it was already late.
Smoke curls up from the chimney of the kitchen. I don't know what Qing'er is cooking.
Li Changting came into the room full of expectation, but he had a slightly stiff smile on Aunt Li and a resentful look on Li Lian.
Four women are talking in the room. Xu Qing and Li Jinmei are sitting on one side, not very happy.
"Changting is back." Aunt Li got up and said with a smile, "as soon as we talked about you, you came back. What a coincidence!"
"Brother Changting." Li Lian said hello. Maybe she was about to get married. She looked at Li Changting with reserved eyes. She was no longer as shy and resentful as before.
