Porridge and side dishes [farming]

Chapter 30

The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family who was sitting next to Zhao's daughter-in-law said: "That's Er Gouzi who has never seen a woman and didn't know him. It’s okay, let him go out to talk to little boys and girls, or often ask little girls to come and visit, and he will think about it after a long time.”

Li Ji smiled and said: "I tried it, but it didn't work. My brother Shuisheng Qiao'er came every day some time ago, Er Gouzi didn't say a word to others. The little girl has a thin skin, Er Gouzi has no patience, because I've been persuading Er Gouzi to talk to other girls more, but he just nodded, you can ask Qiaoer how many words Er Gouzi said to him in total?"

Li Ji's mouth became even more dry, and he said: "I also know that you are kind, who told Er Gouzi to be from our village, and he was so pitiful when he was a child, but we can't push him too much, think about it from another angle, I will go to tomorrow Your family stripped your house and said that the house’s feng shui is not good. It’s for your own good, can you be happy?"

Li Ji has already talked about this point, and it is useless to say more.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family said: "That's what you said, but it's for his own good that we introduce our daughter-in-law. You usually try to persuade and speak softly. I know you are young, but you are an elder. When facing the younger generation Just be patient."

Li Ji was restless, and actually didn't like to be entangled with this kind of person, but he couldn't say too much: "You still say that, I am an elder, and I am still being preached by you? Let's put Er Gouzi aside. Well, it won't be too late in half a year, and the same sentence, Er Gouzi came down from the mountain, unlike the young man who grew up in the village, he found a home with great difficulty and went down the mountain, so we can't force him to go up the mountain, right?"

Li Ji stood up and shook the ashes from his body. This was a very subtle way to see off the guests. The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family didn't say anything and her face was not very good, but what she just said was indeed preaching to the elder Li Ji.

Four of the six people who came were matchmakers, and the other two were the girl's mothers who came to represent their sincerity.In the end, Li Ji said everything he needed to say before he even said a few words.

Before leaving, Zhou's daughter-in-law came over and said something to Li Ji: "I think the two dogs are honest, and the two are complementary together. If you need something, you can find what you want. My sister-in-law, Jia Yuniang, called me." The little mouth is sharp and quick-talking, Er Gouzi might like it, Gaier will ask her to come over and help out tomorrow, can Er Gouzi agree with us, we can talk about it, and treat the people in the same village as brothers and sisters It's okay."

Li Ji responded vaguely, and finally sent the six Buddhas away.

Everyone left, Li Ji didn't even have the mood to clean up the tea bowls.Sitting on the kang is full of two dogs.Since he caught a cold, Er Gouzi has become much more honest. Although he would occasionally reach out to wipe the oil at night, he didn't do anything more extreme.

Er Gouzi said more than once that he only wanted to stay with Li Ji in his life and didn't want to marry a wife.Li Ji didn't believe it, but it was undeniable that he seemed to be looking forward to it.Many people here in the village have taken a fancy to Er Gouzi and want to marry him, and there will definitely be more in the coming year.

What should we do then?

Li Ji was originally a person with many thoughts and heavy thoughts, so he just sat there thinking, and when he was thirsty, he picked up a tea bowl to drink, and when he picked it up, he remembered that it was used by the visitor just now, so he splashed the tea on the ground.

Er Gouzi came back later today, in the afternoon.At noon, Li Ji didn't eat lunch.Hey, hey, pick up the eggs.Look at the well-grown vegetables on the window sill, just about to water them with a ladle, and then go back to the kitchen to put the ladle back.

Er Gouzi likes to serve this so much, so let's save it and wait for Er Gouzi to come back.

When Er Gouzi came back, Li Ji heard the sound immediately.He had never looked forward to his return as much as he did now.He stood up and quickly walked out of the back room, went to the door and listened, opened the door pretending to be casual, and saw Er Gouzi smiling as always: "I'm back."

Li Ji's self-proclaimed smile was the same as usual, which made Er Gouzi see the clue.

"Unhappy?" Er Gouzi asked.

The corners of Li Ji's lips froze, he didn't know how Er Gouzi saw it: "No, why are you back late today?"

Er Gouzi handed over the live rabbit in his hand: "It took some time to find it. So I came back late."

Er Gouzi threw down the roe deer he was carrying on his shoulders. This one was bigger than the one he caught last time, but thinner than that one, and it didn't look like much meat.

It's a good time to find it.Li Ji praised Er Gouzi twice to see that the rabbit was indeed a male. He went into the chicken house and threw the rabbit to the female rabbit, and threw two cabbage leaves. It is to open the pot first, and the two eat first.

At the dinner table, Li Ji was eating every mouthful. He was hiding things in his heart and had no appetite to eat. Of course, Er Gouzi noticed immediately: "Are you getting a cold again?"

Li Ji shook his head, in order to prove that he was not sick, he also took a big mouthful of food, but chewed it in his mouth without any taste.

After being stared at by Er Gouzi for a long time, Li Ji finally couldn't stand it and said, "Five or six people came to the house today, and they all wanted to kiss you."

"Say kiss?" Er Gouzi didn't know what it meant.

"I just want to find a wife for you. Several families have fallen in love with you. They want you to be their son-in-law and their daughter as their daughter-in-law." Li Ji actually didn't want to tell Er Gouzi about this, after all, Er Gouzi didn't understand at all. , not to mention feeling uncomfortable.

Li Ji didn't want to admit it, he really wanted to hear Er Gouzi's categorical rejection, and then said again that he wanted to be with him forever.

Li Ji raised his ears and waited for a while, but Er Gouzi just said softly: "Oh."

Li Ji only felt that he had punched the steamed buns, which were hot steamed buns just out of the pan, and they were scalding hot: "You don't object?"

No response was heard, Li Ji raised his head and met Er Gouzi's eyes, Er Gouzi had no expression on his face, just looked at Li Ji like that, opened his mouth after a while and said: "I said no, you won't be happy , I don't want to make you unhappy, but I don't want to marry a wife either."

This was the first time that Er Gouzi spoke to him with this expression and tone, but Li Jixin put it down steadily, never before.

"Okay! I won't ask you any more." Li Ji picked up a large piece of vegetables, stuffing them into his mouth was delicious.

Er Gouzi tilted his head and asked, "Aren't you angry?"

"Don't be angry." Li Ji stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for Er Gouzi, "Actually, I also think those old women in the village are annoying enough. I dismissed them today, and I will definitely look for you later. I will teach you, who forced you to talk to the girls?" When we meet, you just say that if you force me again, I will go back to the mountain!"
