"To help us at home?" Song Xintong thought about it and said, "I'm afraid it can't be done. Your mother is fierce. If you go to my house to help me, she will definitely ask me for trouble."
Wan a Xiang looked down in disappointment. After thinking about it, he asked, "can you buy me?"
"For you?" Song Xintong didn't understand that if a good free man didn't do it, he had to sell himself as a slave?
"My mother wants to let flower magpie sell me to be a concubine. I don't want to. I..." Wan a Xiang knelt down to song Xintong. "I'm angry with my mother again. When she's ready, she will surely kill me."
Song Xintong quickly guessed why Ye Guihua had a difficult labor yesterday. Most of it was Wan Axiang who said he didn't want to. Ye Guihua fell when she chased Wan Axiang.
"Flower magpie back to the village?" Song Xintong remembers that flower magpie went to the county last year, but never went back to the village. Why did she come back?
"Well, I sneaked back a few days ago." Wan a Xiang quickly said: "it seems that she specially helps people sell her daughter to enjoy happiness. She also said that she has negotiated a good price with several families in the village."
"What?" After hearing this, song Xintong immediately frowned, "the village can still live well now, how can anyone sell their daughters?"
"They listen to my elder sister go to enjoy happiness, also want to let the daughter of the family go to enjoy happiness." Wan a Xiang sobbed and said, "I don't want to enjoy happiness."
Song Xintong was surprised, "isn't it good to enjoy happiness? Why not? "
"She's not the same person who took my sister. She's not a good person." Wan said, "I don't like her. It's too bad."
Song Xintong pursed her lips, but she didn't know how flower magpie got into this business. She thought of this man's reputation in the village, and thought that it was not very reliable. "Then you'd better stay away, and don't let them catch you."
"Or you go to the village head's house and tell him to go."
"Will the village head be in charge?" Wan a Xiang's face turned white at the thought of Osmanthus fragrans.
"If you tell the village head that Hua magpie coaxes your mother to sell you, ask the village head if Hua magpie is allowed by the government. If not, she is a abductor and can catch Hua magpie to report to the government." Song Xintong gives her advice.
"Really?" Wan a Xiang's eyes were full of hope.
"Just try it." After a pause, song Xintong said, "go and ask other girls. If there are any who don't want to go, they will go to the village head together."
"Well, I'll go now." Wan a Xiang busy back basket, song Xintong said thanks to run.
Looking at the small and thin figure running quickly, song Xintong shrugs and smiles. If she really has an idea, if she is wan Ajiao, she must be submissive and be sold after crying.
When song Xintong returned home, it was already a moment.
Lu's mother still doesn't come out to make clothes in the yard. Lu Yunkai is still reading in his study. Song Xintong doesn't bother to disturb them, so he goes into the kitchen and cooks.
Put the clean rice into the big pot, and leave the rest of the rice washing water aside, and later use it to wash your face and hair. Although I don't know if it has any effect, there is no beauty product. It's good to use this as a psychological comfort.
Song Xintong put the firewood into the hall, and the fire broke out quickly. Since she married, the firewood at home has been packed by Daya. In addition, the students will send some firewood every few days, and the firewood room can't be piled. It seems that it can be used in winter.
When the pine branches and plants in the forest on the other side of the chicken house have dried up, they will bring some back and put the rest on the other side of the chicken house.
The fire in the hall is burning more and more fiercely. It feels very hot on the body.
Song Xintong got up and walked away from the door of the hall, sat down on a small stool next to him and began to clean up the mushrooms. There were not many kinds of mushrooms, most of which were common oyster mushrooms. Each one had many pieces, and each one was very big.
Tear the pieces into small pieces and fry them later, or add a few pieces to the bone soup to add a little flavor.
When the mushrooms are ready, song Xintong goes to the house next to him and takes out the meat and cucumbers. Later, he makes a cucumber patting. These days, his mother's appetite is not very good either. It's better to make some light cold dishes.
"I thought it was my mother in the kitchen." Lu Yunkai looked at the knife in Song Xintong's hand, "I'll help you."
"Will you?" Song Xintong doesn't believe that Lu Yun holds a meeting to cut vegetables.
"Try it." Lu Yunkai takes the knife from Song Xintong's hand, fiddles with the washed thin one, and tries to cut it. As a result, because he is not good at pressing the meat, the meat slips away.
Song Xintong gently pick eyebrows, "left hand to press it, it will not move."
Lu Yunkai did as she said: "is it like this?"
Song Xintong looked at the pork with thick thumb and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that Lu Xiucai was not good at it."
Lu Yun opened embarrassed smile, "that I cut a knife again?"
"One knife is not enough. You can see that my mother cuts very thin. You can cut at least ten knives." Song Xintong looked at the very thick piece of meat with a little disgust, "if you are a little rude to eat, it's easy to get stuck in the throat."
"..." Lu Yunkai looked at his wife and said dryly, "I'll just cut a few more."
"Go on, be careful not to cut your hands." Song Xintong holds his arm and looks at the piece of meat. She wants to see if he can cut it well today.
Lu Yunkai stood up straight and looked at Song Xintong with a kitchen knife: "lady, don't we bet?"
"Bet what?" Song Xintong tilted his head and asked with great interest.
Lu Yunkai said, "if I can cut it well, I will buy two servants to serve me."
Song Xintong curled his lips, "if you lose, or according to what we said before?"
Lu Yunkai nodded, and said before that she would wait for her stomach to grow bigger, but she couldn't move any more, and then let Wang come to help cook.
Song Xintong looked at the piece of meat on the table. He didn't believe that he could cut it with the second knife. Just as he was nodding, Lu's mother came in and watched Lu Yunkai face song Xintong with the knife. She immediately became angry, quickly grabbed the knife and put it on the table. She said, "Yunkai, what are you doing? You can't do anything about it. "
Lu Yunkai explained: "Niang, I just want to help Xintong cut vegetables."
"How can you point a knife at Xintong when cutting vegetables?" Lu Mu's face was so ugly that she asked him to apologize.
Lu Yunkai helplessly smiles and looks at his wronged wife. He has to say, "mother, it's not what you think."
"No, what is it?" Lu mother turned and took song Xintong's hand, patted gently, "Xintong, let you be wronged."
Song Xintong saw no longer speak, has no way to end, busy explained: "Niang, Xianggong did not hurt me, he just wanted to help me cut vegetables."
"Really?" Lu Mu didn't believe it,
"Really, mother." Song Xintong pointed to the meat cut by Yunkai, "Niang, you look at the meat cut by the public. It's funny."
Looking at the thick meat of his thumb, Lu Mu couldn't help laughing, "where can he cut any vegetables? I'm afraid he can't even recognize the vegetables in the garden."
Song Xintong looked at Lu Yunkai, "Xianggong, didn't you say that you planted the vegetables in the back garden?"
Lu Yun, who had been exposed, blinked: "I... Poured the water."
