"What?" Li Man was startled, just as she asked, Li Mo quickly turned around and quickly sat on the stool under the stove.
run so fast? what? She was puzzled, and picked it up curiously. It was a bracelet woven with red string, which was quite unique.
However, this is for her? Li Man's heartbeat quickened, and her face was a little hot. In this age, even a simple bracelet, she understood what it meant.
This man is calm and reticent, and it obviously took a lot of courage to give her such a thing.
Li Man hesitated, squeezed the bracelet a few times in his palm, hesitating how to return it to him.
Under the stove, Li Mo's heart was beating like a drum. He took a handful of dry straw and put it into the hole of the pot. He couldn't help shaking, and Guo couldn't even start a fire.
Simply, he stopped beating, and tightly held the fire bag tightly in his palm, listening to the movement of that person quietly.
She didn't say anything, so she expressed her willingness to accept it.
But just when Li Mo's hope was growing, Li Man's hesitant voice broke the tranquility in the kitchen. She walked to the stove and handed the bracelet to him, "This bracelet is very beautiful, are you going to give it to me?" person?"
Li Mo raised his head, his expression froze.
Li Man hurriedly stuffed her hand into his, "You put it away."
Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and wanted to leave, but Li Mo panicked and grabbed her small hand together with the bracelet with his big palm, "Wait a minute."
"You?" Li Man froze, her small face wrinkled.
Li Mo let go of her hand in a panic, "Did it hurt you?"
"No." Li Man shook his head, but the back of his hand felt numb. In other words, his hand is really strong. Just now, he just grabbed it lightly, like iron pliers.
She returned the chain, and wanted to continue kneading the dough to make noodle soup, but she didn't expect Li Mo to follow her.
"you?"
The two looked at each other and spoke in unison.
How embarrassing is the atmosphere.
"You talk first." Li Man shrugged slightly, pretending to be very relaxed, but unconsciously glanced at the door, come quickly.
Li Mo didn't speak, but directly picked up her hand, and stuffed the bracelet into her palm again.
"What are you?" What does he want to do? Li Man only felt that there were thorns on the bracelet, and she panicked and wanted to return it to him.
Seeing her refusal, Li Mo simply grasped her little hand, and put the bracelet directly on her wrist, "This is for you, I begged in front of the goddess, once you put it on, you can't take it off."
"Ah?" Li Man was astonished, and wanted to wipe off the bracelet, but the end of the rope was knotted for some reason. Just now, when Li Mo put it on for herself, it was quite loose, but once she put it on, she couldn't untie it no matter what. If you don't open it, it's completely tailor-made for your own wrist.
Seeing her like this, Li Mo smiled slightly instead of being annoyed, "It's getting late, let's cook, the second brother and the others just said they were hungry." After speaking, he glanced at her with a smile, turned around and sat under the stove again , this time, although his heart was still pounding, the action of starting the fire was obviously much calmer. After a while, he was led by hay, stuffed it into the hole of the pot, and then passed a few more firewood in. Immediately, the fire ignited .
The red stove fire reflected this stout man, his eyes were warm and soft.
The cauldron quickly became red, and the water droplets in the pot creaked. Li Man hurriedly shouted, "Hey, wait, I haven't made up yet."
"Then hurry up." Li Mo replied from the bottom, but he didn't remove the burning firewood in the pot hole.
Fearing that the cauldron would burn out, Li Man hastily scooped two ladles of water into it, and didn't have time to pay attention to the bracelet that was forced on.
Hearing the sounds of boiling water and noodles on the pot, Li Mo's heart gradually settled down. Besides, the goddess said that once the marriage rope is put on a woman's wrist, it means that the woman belongs to him. Destined.
Besides, she didn't ask for an explanation any more, did she
Thinking of the hairpin in her hair, and the marriage rope just now, Li Mo had to admit that what his second brother said was true, women sometimes just take what is hard but not soft.
After a long while in a hurry, a large pot of noodles was finally cooked. She poured some sesame oil, sprinkled some chopped green onions, and covered the pot with a lid for a while, then picked up a bowl to serve it.
Li Mo knocked out the sparks in the pot hole, fearing that the noodles would be burnt. After making it, he got up, scooped up a ladle of water and washed his hands, and then stood by the pot.
Li Man glanced at him, did not speak, and served the noodles seriously. After filling a bowl, he took the initiative to take it and put it aside. To fill another bowl, he took two bowls together and took two pairs of chopsticks. past."
"Yeah." Li Man didn't raise her head, she agreed naturally, and filled another four bowls.
Li Mo quickly came over again, saw Li Man was holding two bowls in his hand, and was about to take them, "Give it to me."
"There are still two bowls on the pot table." Li Man pouted towards the pot table and said.
"Oh." Li Mo put the two bowls away with a smile, and followed behind Li Man
tang, entered the east room together.
An oil lamp was also lit on the window sill of the east room, and Li Hua was picking out the wick with a large needle. Sure enough, the light instantly improved a lot.
Under the light and shadow, it instantly seemed that the whole room was much more crowded and narrow.
Just now, of Li Mo's two bowls, one was given to Li Yan, and the other was given to Li Shu who was screaming and starving.
Li Man came over and gave Xiao Wu and Li Hua two bowls of gnocchi.
Li Hua looked at Li Mo who was following behind, and took it.
"Here." Seeing that Li Man's hands were empty, Li Mo handed a bowl of slightly thicker ones to her, "Be careful of scalding."
"Yeah." Li Man held it with both hands. Because the soup was full, the soup almost swayed out. She hurriedly lowered her head and took a shallow sip of the soup. Unexpectedly, the freshly cooked soup burned her tongue, and she instinctively spat it out. He lowered his tongue and licked his lips twice.
This scene happened to be witnessed by Li Yan and Li Mo.
Li Yan's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what to think of, and his eyes gradually darkened.
Li Mo asked worriedly, "Slow down, is it hot?"
Li Man pursed her lips and blew lightly into the bowl a few times, then laughed dryly, "It's a little hot."
"Daughter-in-law, you can sit here." Li Shu took the initiative to give up his seat at this time, and asked her to put the bowl on the kang table.
Li Man saw that his brothers were all sitting on the kang, and it was not good for her to squeeze past, so she shook her head, "Sit down quickly, I will sit on a stool." Then, looking around, she found a small stool in the corner , she sat down.
"Daughter-in-law, it's so dark over there." Li Shu walked towards her with a bowl in his hand.
Li Man secretly rolled her eyes. It was because of the darkness here that she hid quietly. The way Li Yan looked at her just now, she was not a fool and didn't feel it. She stripped naked like that …
Ah, bah, bah, bah, what happened today? Is it because Li Yan has a fever and is confused, or is there something wrong with her eyes? The guy looked at her strangely before, but she is not as presumptuous and evil as she is now.
"Daughter-in-law, what are you thinking?" Li Shu came over and squatted beside her, seeing her drooping hair in a daze, not knowing that the soup in the bowl was about to fall off, so he hurriedly supported her bowl.
Li Manguo was really excited, looked up and met Li Shu's suspicious eyes, got up quickly and said, "It's a bit weak, I'll add some salt."
After finishing speaking, leaving Li Shu aside, he went outside, went straight to the kitchen, sat down on the stool under the stove, and let out a long sigh of relief.
Still in this kitchen, a person is quiet and at ease.
Li Shu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Li Yan, "Third brother, eat your noodles."
"What's wrong?" Li Shu leaned against the door and looked back at his second brother.
Li Yan leaned on the kang, lowered his head and drank the noodle soup, but did not answer his words.
Li Mo glanced at his second brother, then at his third brother, and finally said, "Sir brother, sit down and eat."
Li Shu suddenly laughed, "Big brother and second brother, are you two afraid that I will be alone with my wife?"
After Li Yan finished the soup, he picked up the gnocchi in the bowl with his chopsticks, "I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't believe me, you can follow. My wife will definitely send you over."
"Why?" Li Shu was a little dissatisfied.
Li Yan raised his right eyebrow slightly, but did not answer the reason. He ate his mouth full of pimples, and suddenly said, "There is a bit too much salt."
"Ah?" Li Shu was taken aback.
Li Mo took two bites in doubt, "It's okay."
Xiao Wu followed suit and said, "It's delicious."
However, Li Hua heard the implication of the second brother's words. When she escaped just now, she said that she wanted to add some salt, which was obviously an excuse. Is it because the five brothers here made her feel oppressed
The second brother didn't let the third brother go, so naturally he wanted her to relax. At least when she was eating, there was no good food and drink for her at home, but they all hoped that she would be full and eat better.
—
After a while, several people finished eating. Li Mo, as the boss, took the initiative to collect everyone's bowls, and then went to the kitchen to serve them for everyone.
Li Man ate slowly, when he came again, he only ate half a bowl, "Let me serve it." Seeing him coming with a few empty bowls, she was about to get up.
Li Mo hurriedly said, "Sit down, I'll serve it myself."
"Oh." Li Man shrank back again, sitting silently at the bottom of the pot and eating gnocchi.
Li Mosheng was ready, and brought them to the east room twice, and came back once in the middle, Li Man bowed his head and did not greet him again.
So, Li Mo took the initiative to say to her, "There is still a bowl in the pot, you can fill it up later, eat it while it is hot, it will cool down later."
"Oh." Li Man was startled, "Okay."
Li Mo just took three bowls and cautiously went to the east room.
But Li Man found that after eating a bowl of gnocchi, her stomach was almost full. She was not used to eating too much at night, so there was still a big bowl in the pot, so she filled it with a big vegetable bowl and sent it to the east room. , Put it on the small table, "There is still a bowl, you can share it, the leftover will become a paste tomorrow, I am afraid I can't eat it."
Xiao Wu rubbed his stomach, he was already exhausted after eating two bowls.
Li Hua's appetite wasn't too big, and he didn't want to eat after drinking two bowls of noodles with soup.
Li Yan was ill and had no appetite, so he only ate one bowl, and gave the remaining bowl to Li Shu.
Li Shu's appetite was not bad, but after three bowls, and then looking at the big bowl on the small table, he flinched a little, "I'm full."
"Are you full?" Seeing that the big pot of gnocchi was about to turn into a paste, and she didn't know if she could eat it next time, Li Man felt distressed.
Li Mo glanced at it and asked, "You only ate one bowl?"
"Well, I ate too much at noon, so I'm not hungry at night." Li Man said, and was about to take the dish away.
But Li Mo stopped him, "I was afraid it would not be enough. If you are all full, I will eat all of these."
"Ah?" The brothers looked at him at the same time.
Li Shu called out, "Brother, didn't you say you were full just now? You don't even want the second brother to give it to you, it makes me so hungry."
Li Mo didn't reply, just sat on the edge of the kang, picked up the vegetable bowl, and started to eat, the food was so delicious, it seemed like he was not full.
The corners of Li Yan's eyes twitched, "Brother, is it that delicious? Don't spoil your stomach."
Li Mo didn't speak, but lowered his head and ate with relish. He was indeed not too full, because he saw that there was not much left in the pot just now, and he left everything he wanted to her. The third brother usually eats a lot. Naturally, he would leave it to his third brother, but he didn't expect his daughter-in-law's appetite to be so small, and a small bowl of noodle soup would be enough.
Moreover, if such a big bowl of gnocchi breaks, the daughter-in-law will feel distressed.
Seeing him eating happily, the corners of Li Man's mouth raised slightly. She likes to cook, and she also likes others to eat her food. The happier she eats, the more fulfilled she looks.
Li Shu saw that Li Man was watching his elder brother eating noodles with a smile in his eyes, so he couldn't help being jealous, "Brother, why don't you save some for me, I seem to be a little hungry again."
"Third brother, you are promising." Li Yan glanced at Li Shu angrily.
Li Shu rubbed his stomach, his face didn't blush and his heart skipped a beat when he said nonsense, "It's true, it seems like I'm still a little short of being full."
"Okay, third brother, I'll wait until tomorrow morning if I'm hungry." Li Mo took off the last piece of gnocchi in the bowl with a few mouthfuls.
Li Man clapped her hands, "Okay," she stood up to collect the bowl.
"I'll do it." Li Mowan was already in his hand, so she got up and went to the kitchen first.
Li Man hurriedly followed, and when they reached the kitchen, Li Mo was already scooping water into the pot, "Let me wash it."
Xiao Wu was washing the pots and dishes with Li Hua, she still thought it looked like him, but she thought it was a bit strange that he was such a big man by the pot.
"It will be ready in a while." Li Mo scooped up the water, put all the bowls and chopsticks in, and then washed them one by one with a rag.
Really... Li Man watched from the side and shook her head slightly. His palm is so big that a bowl as big as a child's toy in his hand. Besides, he can do other tasks well. Isn't it too clumsy to wash dishes? more? The dishcloth wiped the bottom of the bowl a few times before it reached the surface of the bowl, why didn't he seem to be able to get around it? After a few times, the bowl slipped in his palm, almost falling, and Li Man was so startled that his heart beat up and down. There are not many bowls at home.
Just as he was watching, Li Man's eyes suddenly widened, and he saw a bowl slipped in Li Mo's hand, and fell into the pot with a snap, and the pot water splashed on his face.
"Hey—" It really fell, and Li Man laughed unconsciously.
Li Mo wiped his face in embarrassment, looked at her, and explained, "This bowl is slippery."
"Really, I'll do it." Li Man took the initiative to push him away, took the dishcloth from his hand, and started to wash the dishes.
Li Mo blushed, "Actually, I washed it too."
"Yeah." It's okay to do rough work, but he can't do fine work like washing dishes and pans.
Li Mo stood by for a while, watching Li Man wash the bowls, add water to clean them one by one, and put them neatly into the cupboard. Then, he poured out the water in the pot, wiped off the lid and the table , the oil and salt jars are neatly arranged...
He was ashamed. According to his thinking, he thought that everything would be fine after the pots and pans were washed.
Li Man knew that he was watching from the sidelines, and when the work was done, she rubbed the dishcloth twice, wrung it clean, and then spread it on the pot table, so that there would be no smell in the next morning.
"I'm fine," she told him.
"Oh." Li Mo was a little dumbfounded seeing her neat work, and he came back to his senses a little after she spoke, but he couldn't erase the way she was working, so calm, leisurely, even It is so elegant that even people watching from the side are so pleasing to the eye.
"Would you like to boil some hot water for you to wash?" Seeing that he was still a little dazed, Li Man asked.
"Oh, okay, I'll burn it." Li Mo said.
"Yeah." She has never done the work of boiling water after meals, "Then I'll leave it to you."
With that said, she was about to go out.
"Where are you going?" Li Mo followed closely and asked.
Li Man turned to look at him, "Go back to your room."
"Your room is very humid." Li Mo said, "You can't sleep at night."
Only then did Li Man think of it, and she bit her lips in annoyance, then at night...
"Wait." Li Mo walked to the corner of the room and removed the pots and sundries from the bamboo bed in the corner, "I'll move the bamboo bed over in a while and make a new bed for you."
"Okay." That's all there is to it, but, "Why don't you bother, I'll just move the quilt over here."
"No." Li Mo resolutely refused, "The window paper is torn, and it's not tight, just in case—in short, it's not safe."
After speaking, he found a rag and wiped the ashes on the bamboo couch.
"I'll come, you boil the water." Li Man said.
"Okay." Li Mo didn't insist, and gave her the rag.
p>A large pot of boiling water was quickly boiled, except for a little for drinking at night, the rest was mixed with water to freshen up.
Li Mo really moved the bamboo couch to the east room, and then spread Li Hua's clean bedding on it.
"What? Wife sleeps here at night?" Li Shu didn't know what mood he was in, so he sat down on the bamboo couch.
"It hasn't been paved yet." Li Man pushed him away, and paved the wrinkled place with his hands.
"Third brother, you are still sleeping on the top of the kang." Li Mo ordered.
"I know." This time, Li Shu did not protest.
After Li Man's bed was made, she could not help frowning when she saw them sitting scattered on the kang, none of them intending to sleep.
Li Mo took a look, and got on the kang first, and then told Li Shu who was still loitering by Li Man's bed, "Third brother, turn on the lamp and get on the kang."
"I'm not sleepy." Li Shu said.
"Your second brother is sick, don't talk nonsense, be quiet." Li Mo said majesticly, and blew on the lamp neatly.
The room suddenly became dark, and Li Shu shouted, "Brother, don't wait for me." He groped his way to the kang.
Li Man sat on the bamboo couch, and it took her a while to get used to the darkness. She got into bed slowly, got under the covers, and began to take off her coat.
However, this bamboo couch is very old, and the main body is probably dying. When she moved a little, the bamboo couch creaked, and the movement was especially fascinating in this silent night.
Helpless, she only took off one sleeve, and didn't dare to move it anymore, not even turning over.
But there was still listening to the movement, but after a while, the movement disappeared. Li Shu asked with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, are you asleep?"
Talking a lot, in the darkness, Li Man rolled her eyes fiercely, and turned over instinctively, but she didn't want to creak again, depressed, she wanted to beat the ground.
Over there, Li Shu added an embellished smile, "Daughter-in-law, are you taking off your clothes?"
Li Man really wanted to tear his mouth off, but the truth was so annoying, she was indeed taking off her clothes just now, and she was even more uncomfortable sleeping on this old bamboo couch with only one sleeve off.
"Third brother, don't talk, sleep." Li Mo warned in a deep voice.
"Oh." Li Shu obediently obeyed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep obediently.
Over there, soon, there was a slight snoring sound, and I don't know who it was.
Time passed little by little. In the dark, Li Man stared at the window but didn't feel sleepy at all. She was used to sleeping comfortably. Such a small bamboo couch was not enough for her to mess around. Besides, she couldn't even move. How uncomfortable it is to be stiff.
When she felt that the men on the kang over there should all be asleep, she carefully changed her position, felt a little more comfortable, and then wanted to fall asleep. Her lower abdomen swelled up slightly, which immediately made her feel like jumping up and down. .
Who can understand, when everything is ready, when you get into a comfortable bed, and just want to have a good night's sleep, when you hold back your urine, what does it feel like
