The Landlord And His Wife

Thinking of this, He hurriedly said to Xu'er, "Xu'er, you will go to Shicheng's house from tomorrow and find Aunt Shi to continue learning how to tie the knot!"

Liu Xuer said: "Mother, I've made up my mind, I'll go the day after tomorrow. Don't you want to put wallpaper in the house tomorrow? In these three rooms, how can you be so busy alone, mother? I've finished the wallpaper for you, and I'll go the day after tomorrow."

He sighed silently, feeling sad and sweet in his heart. Liu Shu came in from the outside and saw Liu Xuer pulling the bellows, so he hurried over to help: "Xu'er, go and pour a bowl of water for dad, I'll help mother pull the bellows."

Liu Xuer agreed, stood up, scooped a bowl of water from the pot, and took it out.

Liu Changgeng was so hot that he even took off his jacket, and beads of sweat fell on his face. There was a long wooden bench in the courtyard, and a large board lay flat on the long wooden bench. Liu Changgeng stepped on the board to fix it with one foot, supported his body with one foot on the ground, and held a long saw in his hand. Saw the edge of the board, and sawdust flying around him.

Liu Xuer stood far away: "Dad! Drink water."

Liu Changgeng stopped the saw, and Liu Xuer waited for the sawdust to fall before bringing the bowl over. Liu Changgeng took a sip and drank it all, and handed it back to her with a smile.

Liu Xuer took the empty bowl and was about to turn around and enter the room when she heard someone shouting: "Xuer, Xuer!"

She turned her head to look, it was Shicheng, with a big basket in her hand, she walked into the courtyard with a smile.

Although Shicheng is a child, Liu Changgeng still put down his work and asked with a smile, "Shicheng, why are you here?"

Shi Cheng laughed and called out: "Uncle Liu! My father and my mother know that you have moved, and asked me to bring some food."

"What is this for? Why are your father and your mother so polite?" Liu Changgeng was a little stunned when he heard this, and was about to put down his things and come over, when He heard the voice coming out of the room, he lowered his head and was busy my own.

He saw Shicheng busy greeting: "Shicheng is coming?"

Shi Cheng hurried over and smiled and handed the basket to her: "My mother asked me to bring it."

Rural people have the habit of giving each other food, and when they sent a gift in return, Mr. He reached out and took it, still politely: "Your mother, your father is too polite. Come in now! Auntie didn't have anything delicious for you, so I made you a pair of shoes a few days ago..."

Said and dragged Shicheng in. Liu Xuer followed behind, swaying in as well.

He put down the basket first, went to the quilt on the kang, took out a pair of shoes and handed it to Shicheng: "This is what my aunt made for you, don't dislike it."

Liu Xuer said coolly from the side: "My mother saved the cloth and thread, and she was not willing to make a pair for my father, so I will give it to you."

He hurriedly angered her: "How do you talk, little girl?"

Shi Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you, auntie!"

He smiled and said, "What's the matter? Your family has helped us a lot all day long, and I have nothing to thank you for." Then he took out the things in the basket and gave them to others. Basket vacated.

He took a deep breath. In the basket were 20 small eggs, and a piece of pork, which seemed to weigh about 20 to 30 pounds, and a very small earthen pot, the size of a palm, covered with oiled paper, Mr. He. When I opened it, it was milky white and smelled of milk.

He said in surprise: "Why do we still send such expensive things, how can we... how can we accept this?"

Shi Cheng smiled and said: "Auntie, take it! I also took this shoe, my mother said, we should help you when you move, but my father does nothing. No, my mother can't be of much help, so I'll do my best for this."

Liu Xuer rolled her eyes over there, how can this be said by Aunt Shi? It was clearly what Shicheng said.

He kept saying, "It's too polite, I really don't know what to say..."

Shi Cheng sat in the room for a while, seeing that Mr. He was a little helpless, Liu Xuer kept rolling his eyes at him, and quickly took the empty basket and said goodbye, Mr. He sent him to the gate of the courtyard. Shi Cheng wanted to have a word with Liu Xuer, but he didn't find the opportunity. He could only wave at her and leave.

He returned to the courtyard, and kept saying, "How good is this, why are you giving such a heavy gift?" : "Why are you giving so many things? It's heavier than the gifts that people give after the full moon."

Liu Changgeng also looked puzzled, and after a while, he said: "Forget it, we can't stop it if we take it all. When we give them gifts next time, let's give them a heavier one. ."

He can only sigh and nod, and go into the house to cook.

Liu Xuer was watching her parents who were still worried after receiving the gift, and complained about Shicheng, making the family at a loss, but there was still a little bit of joy in her heart, Shicheng must know I can't even afford to eat meat and eggs in my own house, so I just sent it here...

She also sighed, and hurry up to see her rabbit, this is all her hope, and she spent the whole family's New Year's money!

With the meat and eggs sent by Shicheng, He finally decided to make an egg custard for the children. A few babies don’t eat meat and fish all year round, and they don’t grow tall or meat. A pitiful one.

I took out two eggs and beat them into a bowl. I saw that there were too few eggs. I beat two more eggs, added some water, broke them up, and put them in a pot for steaming.

I scooped a bowl of noodles out of the noodle jar, made a thin bowl with water, and when the water in the pot boiled, poured the thin noodles into it, and opened the pot again. Sprinkle a little salt and vinegar in the pot, and a pot of noodle soup is ready.

Scooped out a few bowls and put them in the tray. He raised his voice and shouted, "It's time to eat! Come and eat." He put the tray on the kang, and went out and said to Liu Changgeng, "Let's eat, I have a lot of work to do today, so do it slowly."

Liu Changgeng agreed, tidying up the wooden board, and came over to ask Mr. He to dust the sawdust on him. Liu Xuer came out of the rabbit's nest, holding two eggs in her hand, and smiled: "Mother! The hen has laid eggs!"

He slapped Liu Changgeng with a towel, and the dust and sawdust flew high for a long time. Liu Xuer hurriedly covered her mouth.

Liu Changgeng smiled: "You're a child who loves to be clean!"

Willow and Willow also came over, Willow went to the house to see Liu Sen who was sleeping, and just woke up, he hugged him too.

The family went in to wash their hands, Liu Lin raised his nose and asked, "Mother, why do I smell egg custard? Who's steamed egg custard?"

He's 'pochi' smile: "It's your nose!"

Go to the pot and bring out the steamed egg custard. Liu Lin let out a cheer, and Liu Sen also cheered loudly: "Oh, oh, eat egg custard!" Xiao Liusen's saliva was about to flow out.

Liu Xuer also laughed, she felt that she was too greedy, and her saliva was about to flow out. After washing their hands, the family sat around the wooden tray. The children all stared at the bowl of Liuliu egg custard. No one dared to take the first spoonful, but instead became polite.

He paused and said, "Don't eat Liushu and Liulin. When you are old, ask your younger brother and sister to eat it."

Liu Shu hurriedly agreed, but quietly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and Liu Lin's originally excited expression immediately became resentful and wilted.

Liu Xuer hurriedly said: "Mother! Ask the eldest brother and the second brother to eat too, Moriko eats half, and the eldest brother and the second brother eat the other half! Brothers also want to eat some meat and eggs, otherwise It will become more and more weak!"

Liu Changgeng also nodded: "Yeah, let the children eat it, our baby is sensible and will definitely not grab it."

After saying that, Mr. He felt sour in his heart, he couldn't bear it any longer, and in order to cover it up, he resented Liu Changgeng again: "You will be a good person! The villains are all me. Come and be." Then pretended not to care about a few children: "Alright, alright, eat whatever you want!"

When Mr. He spoke, Liu Lin was finally happy again, and the children were all staring at the bowl of egg custard again, but for some unknown reason, everyone was so careful that no one did anything for a long time.

Before He felt uncomfortable again, Liu Xuer hurriedly reached out and picked up the spoon, scooped a spoon and sent it to Liu Sen's mouth: "Senzi, take a bite first! Be careful with the heat ." He said with a puffed mouth.

Liu Sen hurriedly sat down and waited with her mouth open.

Liu Xuer blew cold and put it into his mouth, Liu Sen ate it in one bite, and his face immediately smiled: "It's delicious!"

Liu Xuer scooped another spoonful and blew it to Liu Shu's mouth: "Brother eat!"

Liu Shu's face was a little red, and he glanced at He Hesitantly.

Liu Changgeng said: "If you tell me to eat it, eat it!"

The willow tree ate it, and He's eyes were red.

Liu Xuer scooped a spoonful for Liu Lin who couldn't wait to eat it, and then took a bite herself, smiling and squinting: "It's delicious."

Liu Sen has finished eating this mouthful, and waits with his mouth open wide, without rushing.

He couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "I'm going to serve the soup..." He hurriedly got off the kang.

Liu Changgeng looked at her back and sighed silently, then smiled and continued to watch the children eat egg custard. Liu Shu refused to eat after taking two bites, and Liu Xuer stopped eating. Liu Lin still wanted to eat, but his sister didn’t want to eat it, so he was too embarrassed to eat more. Ken ate.

The egg custard in the bowl was taken into his arms by Liu Sen, and he ate it spoon by spoon.

He brought out the warm milk in the pot. This time, not only Liu Shun refused to drink it, but asked his younger brother and sister to drink it, even Liu Lin shook his head and refused to drink it.

Liu Xuer took a sip, and Liu Sen drank the rest.

I drank milk and ate egg custard that night, and Liu Xuer felt that her sleep was much sweeter. He was thinking about her in his heart. He didn't sleep well all night. He got up in the middle of the night and went to see her in the room, only to see Liu Xuer sleeping soundly, so he could only tuck her back.

He's angry and funny: "Sleep soundly! It's a shame that I still miss you."

Liu Changgeng said: "Now you should rest assured? Don't worry, we Xuer are the most sensible..." He turned over and fell asleep.
