Chapter 8: pastry
On the return journey, Lin Qingxu looked at the two packets of cakes on his lap, silently cupped his warm cheeks, and grinned.
If she were to stand in the perspective of a fan girl and give a score to Su Yan who she saw today, she would definitely score a super high 98.
The two points that were missing were entirely because she was afraid of his pride!
Gentle and polite, caring and knowing people, coupled with a beautiful appearance and a deep family background, a proper and charming male second standard.
He just stood there and smiled at her casually, enough to make Lin Qingxu dizzy for a long time, not to mention that he could be so warm to her
Lin Qingwan grinned from the side and looked like her eyes were about to fall. Before, she felt that her sister was not in a good state, and it was difficult for her to ask questions when outsiders were present. Now it seems that my sister is really blocked by magic...
"Go back to your senses." Fang Xiu said suddenly when she saw the colorful faces of the two sisters.
Lin Qingxu's breath tightened, and the moment Fang Xiu's voice fell, she felt a small snake passing through her back, and her back was chilly.
The thoughts that were floating in the air fell to the ground with a bang, she took back her flower grin, looked at Fang Xiu, turned her eyes, and landed on the cake, she was busy laughing, and put aside the hot potato, oh no, yes Pastry tossed aside.
Seeing that Fang Xiu's eyes were withdrawn, she just sat up with her hands up in a serious manner, and said obediently, "Aniang."
Lin Qingwan was stunned by her series of changes, her eyes widened, she raised her hand and touched her forehead: "Sister, if you have any questions, don't tuck it in?"
Before Lin Qingxu could face down and avoid her claws, Su Xiu slapped Lin Qingwan's little hand away with a violent slap.
"Don't say that there are some." Fang Xiu said coolly.
Lin Qingwan rubbed the backs of her red hands, bared her teeth, compromising on the lustful power of her mother.
"Have you said anything else about your business, Master Su?" Fang Xiu asked Xiang Lin Qingxu.
Lin Qingxu and Lin Qingwan were brought to the town gate by Su Yan personally. Even the carriage that was sitting now was called by Su Yan. Fang Xiu could guess what Lin Qingxu did behind her back.
Looking at her eldest daughter's sprouting appearance just now, she thought that she was not dissatisfied with Su Yan, right?
Hearing this, Lin Qingwan reacted the most strongly. She kept her eyes fixed on Lin Qingxu, her eyes exploring.
Lin Qingxu was stared at by the two and his face was hot, and he coughed lightly: "No, he just told me to pay attention to my body. If there are other symptoms, I will come to the town for medical treatment."
Lin Qingwan, who was present at the time, nodded firmly when she heard the words, believing that my sister was still sober.
Fang Xiu glanced at her coolly, and Lin Qingwan immediately shrank her neck and drew circles on the spot.
"Well, it's not long before you get married, so prepare well during this time." Fang Xiu paused, then said, "It's a good thing that your mind is clear."
Lin Qingxu noticed a slight sigh hidden in Fang Xiu's words, she frowned, thinking about the problem she discovered today, and wanted to ask something, but she turned her eyes away when Fang Xiu didn't want to say more.
Lin Qingxu pursed her lips, swallowed her saliva very lightly, and then looked at Lin Qingwan, who was ignorant and carefree, and decided to put this matter on the ground first.
The carriage drove to the door of the house, the sun had already slanted to the corner of the sky, and it would float on the end of the sky before falling to the ground, and the crimson glow slowly smeared from the end of the horizon.
Lin Qingxu and Lin Qingwan jumped out of the carriage first, helped a few times to unload the purchased items from the carriage, and after expressing their gratitude to the coachman, they moved the items into the courtyard with a whimper.
Due to the years of working in the fields, the original owner was slender and weak, but his arms and legs were not weak. Lin Qingxu picked up a 20-pound bag of rice and ran into the house, feeling the pride of being possessed by supernatural powers!
Not to be outdone, Lin Qingwan held two heavy wooden boxes and chased after her aggressively!
When Lin Qingxu entered the door, he specially observed the movements of the cunning and naughty red-haired rooster. Seeing that he was sitting in the corner of the courtyard, he was exchanging feelings with the fat hens around him with his head held high. As soon as he loosened up, his footsteps rushed straight to the kitchen.
She made such a big move, but the red hair was so startled that the hair on her neck stood on end!
As soon as it turned its head, it chased after Lin Qingwan who was behind her!
"Ah! Stinky Ah Mao, you're doing sneak attacks again!"
Lin Qingwan scolded, holding the box tightly, and turning around aggressively, he used a shadowless leg at Hongmao.
The big red-haired **** took a step backward and avoided it. It's a pity that the sharp mouth that just hit the wall hurts so badly, it bent its neck and nipped on the ground twice, and the corn eye looked at the thick wooden box that Lin Qingwan was holding in his arms, and finally decided to raise the white flag today!
Lin Qingwan raised his head and laughed loudly: "Oh, stinky Ah Mao, if you want to fight with me, you are so tender!"
Lin Qingxu, who had already put the rice bag back in place and looked relaxed: "..." It seems that these two boxes are still not heavy enough.
The liveliness of the Lin's yard succeeded in attracting the neighbor, Aunt Zhao.
The folks in the villages and villages, not to mention the real relationship, are all OK on the face.
Aunt Zhao reached out to help move the things at the gate of the courtyard into the house, while Fang Xiu untied the melon seeds she just bought today and formally invited her to sit and chat under the eaves.
Aunt Zhao is the most common and visible peasant woman in the village, and is only a little different from the pitiful Lin family. The Zhao family has dozens of acres. Coupled with the fact that someone had previously contracted the land on the mountain to plant trees, Aunt Zhao's husband also participated, and now the Zhao family's life is not bad in the whole village.
Lin Qingxu sat by the side, watching Aunt Zhao go down, a deep hole fell in the bag containing the melon seeds, she turned her face away stiffly.
In the original owner's memory, except Fang Xiu and Lin Qingwan, the others were vague, but because the Zhao family was too close, Lin Qingxu also picked up some things sporadically.
Aunt Zhao is a child-bearing person. Under the custom of giving birth to male babies, Aunt Zhao gave birth to two male babies in one fell swoop.
Before Father Lin died, Aunt Zhao looked at Lin Qingxu and Lin Qingwan's two daughters with contempt from the bottom of her heart.
However, at that time, Father Lin was the only teacher in the village. Aunt Zhao didn't want her two sons to be illiterate all the way to black, so she could only hide her thoughts.
Later, Lin's father passed away, and the hill in her heart disappeared, so she decided to do something.
After all, living next door, Aunt Zhao was not stupid enough to laugh at her directly. Instead, she spoke with Fang Xiu in the name of being kind.
What Fangxiu is still young, with two money-losing goods, and there is a fool among the money-losing goods, what will happen in the future!
It is better to remarry a rich man while you are young. Even if you are young, your life will be better than this. When you have a son, your position will be firm!
As for the two losers? No matter what it is, you can promise to send it away as soon as possible to another family, but it's really not possible, and kindly give her a few children to live with, anyway, they will belong to other families in the future.
Fang Xiu treats outsiders. She is the kind of person who will make you feel that she is full of sunshine and cold, but it makes you feel cold. When she heard this, it was difficult for her to calm down, and she quarreled with Aunt Zhao on the spot. !
Fang Xiu has read books, and she is very organized when arguing. There is no repetition between every sentence. Aunt Zhao doesn't know two characters. How can she quarrel with her?
Aunt Zhao was scolded for the **** head, and she left in a huff.
For the next two or three years, the two families were both disgusted with each other, until Aunt Zhao inquired about Fang Xiu's involvement with the Su family in the town, and was shocked to hear that her stupid daughter and the young master of the Su family had engaged!
Aunt Zhao couldn't sit still anymore.
Who is the Su family? It is a well-known wealthy businessman in the town. The shops are not only located in the town, but even in several nearby cities, there are businesses from the Su family. It is said that the income of the Su family's random shop for one year is enough for them to live a lifetime, and their status in the town can be imagined.
Farmers have to make a living by selling agricultural products. If they annoy the Su family, they don't have to live. Aunt Zhao thought about this, and immediately lowered her head, looking at the opportunity to please Qi Fang Xiu.
Fang Xiu has a low temperament and doesn't like to hold grudges, but she is by no means a person who can easily remember them well. Aunt Zhao's pleas to her are all accepted, but there are very few responses.
Aunt Zhao didn't force it, thinking that as long as the two families did not cause evil, it should not affect the interests of the Zhao family, so they made a sense of existence every now and then.
…
"Sister, this is really good luck. She gave birth to two flower-like daughters." Aunt Zhao nibbled on the melon seeds, and the skin of the melon seeds flew out of her mouth.
Lin Qingxu still looked indifferent, but Lin Qingwan became more emotional, turned his head and gave Aunt Zhao a black back of the head.
Aunt Zhao's face froze, seeing that Fang Xiu didn't mean to relieve the siege at all, she had no choice but to laugh and stagger the topic: "The news of Awan's selection has spread in several villages, but it has made a face for the girl!"
Fang Xiu answered this time with a lukewarm tone: "I don't have a long face. Her aptitude is innate, but I have no credit."
Aunt Zhao was so choked that her face turned blue and white, but she suppressed her anger.
"I heard that A Xu's brain is getting better, and now I read it, but it's true!" Aunt Zhao tried to change the subject again.
Fang Xiu's answer was more concise.
"Ok."
Lin Qingxu and Lin Qingwan were listening, and they were about to laugh like crazy, but they didn't want to talk about it, so they forbeared themselves until the blue veins burst out on their foreheads.
Speaking of this level, Aunt Zhao can't stay no matter how thick-skinned she is.
"I think there's still some work to do at home, so I won't bother your mother three." Aunt Zhao stood up and patted the shell of the melon seeds with half of their legs off, but didn't leave, waiting for them to send them off.
Fang Xiu lifted her eyelids to look at her: "Walk slowly."
The smirk on Aunt Zhao's face couldn't hold any longer, she walked towards the door, and when she was halfway, she suddenly remembered something and stopped.
A big object deliberately stopped in the corner of the eye, and Lin Qingxu couldn't even pay attention.
When Aunt Zhao saw that the three of them were looking at her, she seemed to find some face to clear her throat and said, "Oh, I remember that the girl from the Cui family came to look for the girl today, but she didn't see anyone. Just ask me to tell her, she will come back tomorrow morning."
Fang Xiu remembered the girl from the Cui family, and knew that the other party was mostly here to ask embroidery workers.
She didn't change her expression, nodded lightly and said to Aunt Zhao, "Well, I see."
Although Aunt Zhao didn't get a warm face, she felt that she was being paid attention, which gave her some confidence. In this way, Aunt Zhao didn't feel embarrassed and walked towards the door in big strides.
It's a pity that she couldn't walk out of the door smoothly, and the red hair, who had seen her unpleasant earlier, jumped up and slapped her fiercely.
"Ah - you bastard, dare to talk to the old lady, let's see if the old lady won't kill you!"
Aunt Zhao's skills in copying the soles of the shoes were first-rate, and Lin Qingxu had just threw the shoes out after hearing her roar.
The big red rooster and Lin Qingwan have fought many times, and they don't look down on such a low-level flying thing at all.
It flapped its wings and swept a few steps to the side with its feet, easily dodging.
Seeing that Aunt Zhao was panting with anger, and pretending to take off the only remaining cloth shoes, Fang Xiu said at the right time: "Aunt Zhao—"
Aunt Zhao's whole body was jolted, and her reason returned to her position instantly.
Lin Qingxu and Lin Qingwan watched the obese Aunt Zhao hunched over to the chicken coop, pulled out the cloth shoes she flung away, and ran back to their homes in despair. The two of them couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Lin Qingxu laughed until her body trembled, it was the first time she had seen such a person!
Throwing her own face at the feet of others over and over again, and insisting on letting others step on the last little bit of courage, she felt good when she ended up being shameless and skinless.
Fang Xiu saw that they couldn't bear to laugh wildly, but she bent her lips and said angrily: "Learn, don't be like two little fools!"
Lin Qingxu and Lin Qingwan nodded immediately.
A mother is mighty!
