How could Mrs Dong not think about why Hemai pestered her? The last time she spoke to Liulang, she was probably holding a grudge from this girl!
Mrs Dong glanced at the dim sum in Hemai's hands and gulped down saliva. However, she had not eaten the osmanthus cake in the past few days, she had forgotten what it was like!
"Girl, did you go to the market with your Liulang? Why didn't I see him? How tired are you, moving things on your own? I'll help you! " Mrs Dong walked over to help Hemai carry the things on the floor.
"No need." Hemai said coldly, "Auntie should just find a place with many wives to chat. If we can't chat, there's nothing to talk about."
She pulled out another packet of pastries from Mrs Dong's hands. Seeing that her eyes were glued to the pastries, she picked up the two packets of pastries from the ground and brought them into the kitchen.
Seeing that there were no longer any good stuff on the ground, she started to stroll around the courtyard.
When Hemai finished summarizing the things inside the kitchen, she saw that the Mrs Dong had unknowingly carried another bundle of firewood out of the courtyard.
"Stinking old woman, how did you steal something!?" Hemai was enraged, and started cursing without restraint.
Mrs Dong was originally rejoicing while carrying a bundle of firewood, but seeing that Hemai was not giving her face, her face immediately darkened.
"Just take a bundle of firewood, you little girl!" She stared at Hemai, "I watched your father grow up. When he brought your mother back, I even grabbed a bag of candy, which could only be returned to you with a few bundles of firewood."
Seeing that Hemai was angry and seemed like she wanted to chase after her, she shook the firewood on her shoulders and walked quickly, shouting, "Wait until your two brothers are in high school, I don't want your family's share of the money, we will just owe each other nothing, okay? "Girl, you really don't know how to calculate!"
"Pfft!" Hemai looked at Mrs Dong's back and cursed angrily, angrily kicking away the firewood by her feet, but she did not let her anger go.
"If I let this old woman take away another bundle of firewood, my 'Lin' character will be written upside down!"
When Hemai finished, the Blacky was so scared that its entire body was trembling.
"It's none of your business. Go and play." Hemai squatted down and rubbed the Blacky's fluffy head, the anger in her heart had dissipated by quite a bit.
It was unknown if Yang Liulang was deliberately stalling for time to not return, or if he was discussing something with Xu Jiang at home.
Seeing that the household was tidied up and Hemai was in the kitchen cooking dinner, Yang Liulang felt a little uneasy.
After entering the kitchen, he whispered to Hemai: What are you doing at night? Shall I help you?
"No need," Hemai shook her head, "It's almost time to eat."
Yang Liulang quietly set up the table in the room and brought an empty bowl and chopsticks. When Hemai came over, he rushed to add some food and snacks.
After eating, Hemai took out the four taels of silver she got from selling her prey at the restaurant and the one hundred and fifty taels of copper from selling the skin of a deer at the grocery store. She wanted to give it to Yang Liulang.
"I'm really not good at money. This girl's family is meticulous, help me keep it." Yang Liulang said indifferently.
He did not give Hemai a chance to refute her words, she only turned around and silently walked out of the hall, and entered the courtyard to bluff something.
Hemai had no choice but to give up. When she slept at night, she looked at the small wooden chest that was filled with silver.
Since he had already bought the seeds, he could plant the land that Yang Liulang had dug out outside his house.
It was said that he was busy growing vegetables during the Yang Spring Festival, and now that he had a seed in his hand, he finished doing all the work at home, and was even so busy that he could not even lift his head.
Yang Liulang had bought a lot of seeds, and it seemed like he had deliberately bought eggplants, lettuce, persimmon, cucumbers, beans and chilli seeds according to Hemai's preference. Hemai liked all these delicious vegetables.
Right now, it was the season to grow these vegetables.
Before the seeds were planted, Hemai took a water basin and sprinkled some water on the ground, but she could not sprinkle too much. If she sprinkled too much water, the soil would become too moist. At that time, not only would the seeds not germinate, it was likely that the soil would be rotten.
After he had loosened the soil and sprinkled some water on it, the seeds lay quietly within the soil.
Finally, a thin layer of soil would be placed over the top layer of soil, so that the seeds would sleep in it, and in two or three months they would be able to eat fresh and delicious dishes.
Shang Zhou hurriedly finished all the work in the garden, Hemai quickly made lunch, and ate with Liulang. Then, she went to visit Madam Qin the next day.
The pastries that he bought yesterday, sent two packets, one bag to Shan Cao, who kept one bag for herself.
He told Madam Qin about the vegetable patch and Madam Qin laughed: "Alright, it is better to make a small piece of it, since it will save me the trouble of eating. I will grow whatever I want as it is very convenient."
Madam Qin pointed to the hens in the old nest in the courtyard, and said: "The chickens have already hatched two nests, why don't you take a few back and keep them at home?"
Hemai wanted to nod his head in agreement, but then she thought about the troublemaker in the courtyard at home, she laughed and shook his head: "Milk, I'll let you raise it here for a while, when the puppy at home grows up, I'll carry it back home."
If he carried it back now, it would probably become the Blacky's plaything!
When he returned, Liulang was not at home. He would return when it was almost time to make dinner.
After what happened yesterday, he naturally would not tell Hemai what he did today after entering the door. Instead, he walked over to the kitchen to see if there was anything that he could help with.
Hemai thought back to the times when they were cooking dinner and how there was only the two of them in the kitchen, but they had always been happy and happy.
For the next few days, it was as if they had agreed upon something. They tacitly maintained this distance that was neither too close nor too far from each other.
It was not as intimate as it used to be, but it was definitely not estranged.
Even when Shan Cao, who came to visit, saw them, she did not feel anything amiss. On the contrary, she secretly told Hemai in her heart, that she had married the right person, and that she had found someone who knew how to love others!
This kind of situation continued for a few days, until Liuer Guy appeared again.
That day, before going out, Yang Liulang had talked to Hemai about something at home. needed the help of the brothers, so he left the house.
After Hemai finished attending to him in the vegetable patch outside, she returned back to her room.
Yesterday, the Liulang went up the mountain and beat up two rabbits. Yesterday, there were a lot of things going on, the skin he peeled off was still soaked in alkaline water.
Hemai took the rabbit skin out of the alkaline water and, like how Liulang usually did, removed the meat fat from the rabbit skin, then smeared it with salt.
After carefully wiping off the salt on the rabbit skin, Hemai was about to stand up and grab a bamboo stick to support the rabbit skin so that it could dry.
Just as he got up, he saw a shadow flash by the small hill outside the door.
