Chapter 105: Guaguaguaguagua’s lips were bitten by Nie Baichuan! ...
Now everyone in the brigade knew that the Xiang family had a daughter who had separated from the old Xiang family, and everyone also knew that this daughter had married a boy from the landlord and rich peasant family, the Nie family.
Many people think that this choice can only be made by someone with a brain stuck in the door, and Qing is waiting to see the joke!
But some people also think that the new daughter-in-law doesn’t have her mother-in-law to serve her, and she can even ride a bicycle when she goes out. What’s wrong with that?
Haven't you seen these two young men pedaling those two wheels around all day? Whose family is so well-off?
Let’s not worry about the past for now. Just looking at the rosy and smiling face of the Xiang family’s daughter these days, you can tell that she is living a good life.
When faced with such a ridiculous situation, some of the aunts and uncles that Xiang Yao had made friends with while eating melons before all used their sharp tongues.
These women don't just reason with people. If someone says something with a thorn in their tongue to them, their retort will hit the person where it hurts.
For example, He Yuezhi, with her hands on her hips, said to those gossipers:
"Shugen family, I think you are just jealous that they can be the head of the family as soon as they enter the family, unlike you, who have served your mother-in-law and sisters-in-law for decades and still haven't been able to be the head of the family!"
"Liu Guixiang, Liu Guixiang, look at what you're saying. What's wrong with being a landlord or rich peasant? Don't they have the right to marry? You're so sarcastic because your son has a crush on Xiang Yao, but that girl doesn't even look at your son. Let me tell you, your son is a toad. Compared to Xiao Nie, he's far inferior!"
For example, Yang Xiaohong, who was a master at using sarcasm, squinted her eyes at the people muttering in the threshing ground.
"Oh, I don't know who it is. A while ago, my little kid was sick, and he borrowed a bicycle from Comrade Xiao Nie. Comrade Xiao Nie was so kind, not only lending it to me, but also personally picking me up and dropping me off. Tsk, tsk, I never expected this family to forget about it in the blink of an eye and now say someone has a bad background! When they need someone's bicycle, they're so grateful, but when they don't want it, they talk about their background. Oh my god, I've lived too long, I've never seen such people!"
"Tsk tsk, isn't it said that people who haven't been through the rigor of illiteracy are the remnants of feudalism? And you're saying that Xiang Yao is shameless for getting married in private? What's the matter? Is it that the idea of freedom of marriage and the elimination of arranged marriages hasn't progressed enough? Do you want me to talk to the team cadres and hold a meeting to educate them?"
"You are all meddling in other people's business. If you have the ability, why don't you just use the fertilizer that others have brought? If you have the ability, why don't you just ask others for help when you have problems? You have evil intentions and only know how to talk behind others' backs. You don't even know what kind of people you are!"
For example...
The power of the masses is strong. Without Xiang Yao knowing it herself, the people she had united were all speaking for her, so that some remarks had disappeared before they even reached her ears.
Of course, apart from those who say sour words, there are also people who have their own standards in their hearts.
These people all knew that although the Nie family had a bad background, they were from a high-level intellectual family, had received a formal education, were cultured, and had status.
Moreover, they were all doing very well in the capital, and when they were deported, they secretly put money in their pockets.
Haven’t you seen it sung in some operas that some talented people have lives with many ups and downs and successes? Maybe the Nie family will be able to do the same in the future?
These peasants, not to mention that they already rely on others for some things now, if something happens at home in the future, won’t these be ready-made connections?
Of course, no one knows how to get ahead, as it is too far away from the world of ordinary people, but it is just passed down by word of mouth.
But they are not stupid, they will not go out of their way to offend others, why do they have to make enemies with others?
…
Nie family.
When the sky was full of red clouds, Old Nie came back leisurely, holding a simple fishing rod in one hand and a grass carp as long as his arm in the other.
"Look, this afternoon I went to the river with Old Yuan from Shanbei to try our luck, and unexpectedly we actually got a big catch!"
Old Nie held up the fish in his hand and motioned his son and daughter-in-law to look at it, both with unconcealable pride on their faces.
The fish was not dead yet, hanging there half-dead, and it struggled symbolically when Lao Nie lifted it up.
Nie Baichuan took a quick look and then turned his gaze away. He put one foot on a wooden block and continued chopping firewood without saying a word.
Old Nie just likes to make a lot of noise. He is usually too lazy to pay attention to others, but the more he pays attention to others, the more excited he becomes.
Xiang Yao was very enthusiastic. She was sitting on a small stool picking peppers. When she saw the fish, her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands.
"Dad's fishing skills are really good. He caught such a big fish in one go! It must be two kilograms, right?"
Old Nie laughed so hard that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes formed the shape of a fish's tail. He was overjoyed. "Good luck, good luck, haha! But this fish must be at least three pounds! It's so heavy, it almost broke my fishing rod!"
"Wow! Incredible!" Xiang Yao gave a thumbs-up and gave a fair evaluation. "Although we have a small river here, the fish we usually catch are only a few pounds. My brother Ming has gone fishing there before, and the best he caught was just over a pound. He's never caught anything this big! This grass carp is really something!"
She was telling the truth. It was not that some people had the idea of fishing in the creek secretly to "fleece socialism", but few could catch big fish.
The fish in the river move around along the direction of the water flow, so it is much more difficult to catch them than in a pond.
Old Nie really caught a good fish today, and the fish looks really pleasing to the eye.
Old Nie handed the fish to Nie Baichuan, and said unhappily to his son, who never showed any support for him, "Cut it open and scrape off the black membrane inside!"
Nie Baichuan put down the work in his hands, took the fish away as instructed, took the hatchet from the pile of firewood, and went to the well to cut the fish.
Xiang Yao asked, "Let's eat it tonight! Dad, how do you want to cook the fish?"
Old Nie smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant. I haven't eaten fish in a long time. I miss it! Xiangyao, it's up to you. You can make whatever flavor you want. I'm fine with it. Baichuan isn't picky either!"
Xiang Yao nodded and said, "I see there are a few wild perilla plants at the corner below the slope. How about we have fish boiled in perilla water today?"
"Okay, okay," Old Nie said excitedly, turning around and heading out. "I know where it is. I'll go pick some perilla."
Xiang Yao put down the green pepper and stood up to pick some red peppers from the vegetable garden.
This boiled fish needs some red pepper to look better!
She sat back on the small stool, but her eyes were involuntarily drawn to the man who was killing fish by the well.
Nie Baichuan was tall and had long legs. He was squatting on the ground, a huge mass of people. He felt as if no place was big enough to accommodate him.
But he worked meticulously on the fish that had been knocked unconscious, quickly scraping off the scales, cutting open the belly, and cleaning the internal organs with the hatchet at an angle. His neat movements were so pleasing to the eye as the muscles rolled.
The hatchet was held in his slender and powerful fingers. The dark metal connected to his arm with twisted veins gave off a sense of rough power.
The fish scales were shining brightly in the setting sun. Not long ago, they were still attached to the body of a grass carp. After being washed by the river water, they were now scattered on the wet ground and would soon lose their luster.
If you think about it carefully, death is always a very shocking thing.
Even the death of a fish.
Smelling the faint fishy smell wafting over, Xiang Yao supported his chin and thought, this is probably a kind of violent aesthetics.
Stunned, Nie Baichuan suddenly turned around and met Xiang Yao's gaze.
He was still holding the fish in his hand, and was startled when he saw this. He asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiang Yao raised her lips, her eyes as cunning as a fox in the mountains, and she said lightly: "Just because you look good!"
"Comrade Nie Baichuan," she said generously, not sparing her praise at all, "even the way you kill a fish looks so beautiful!"
Nie Baichuan didn't expect that he would be praised by his newlywed wife for killing a fish. Even though he had always been mature and steady, he couldn't help but blush and felt a little embarrassed.
Xiang Yao tilted her head and looked at his red ears several times before finally realizing what was going on: "Nie Baichuan, are you shy?"
Nie Baichuan cleaned the fish and stood up: "I don't have it."
He asked, "What should I do with this fish next? Does it need to be salted or something?"
Seeing that he was avoiding the topic, Xiang Yao couldn't help but burst into laughter. She laughed so hard that she was out of breath and spoke incoherently: "Haha... No, no need, just find a basin to put it in. Hahaha..."
Nie Baichuan's heart beat wildly at her laughter. He squinted his eyes and looked at her. He felt that the girl looked so happy and lively facing the sunset, just like the best-growing seedlings in spring, swaying and very cute.
He walked over with the fish in his hand. Fresh water droplets flowed from the fish's tail, gradually turning from strings to drops.
Xiang Yao really didn't expect that she would laugh so much. Just thinking about Nie Baichuan's ears and his slightly shy expression, she couldn't help but continue laughing.
If he always had this kind of personality, she would definitely not want to laugh like this.
But Nie Baichuan, he is gentle, polite and helpful in front of his elders, but he is so arrogant and selfless in front of his peers. He has always been generous and straightforward.
As a result, he actually showed such a cute expression.
Wow, that’s so interesting!
However, before Xiang Yao could stop laughing, he saw someone walking towards him with a fish in one hand and a hatchet in the other, looking very aggressive.
Huh?
Xiang Yao was about to be puzzled when he saw the person in front of him stop and suddenly bow.
Before she could even be surprised, Nie Baichuan grabbed her lips!
“Hmm—”
The hot breath hit between the two people, and one of them attacked mercilessly, as if to punish the other a little for laughing at him just now. He soon turned his lips and tongue into weapons and launched further attacks.
As for the other one, he just sat on the small stool blankly, with his head tilted back, not even closing his eyes. He just stared wide-eyed, dumbfoundedly enduring this sudden intimacy.
Fortunately, this position is not suitable for long kissing.
Seeing the girl leaning back further and further, Nie Baichuan was holding something in his hand and couldn't wrap his arms around her slender waist at all. He had to stand up straight again. Seeing Xiang Yao quickly covering her lips, he smiled softly.
"Are you still laughing at me?" He stared into Xiang Yao's eyes with a fierce look.
Xiang Yao was flexible and said, "Stop laughing, stop laughing. Go and release the fish! It's so fishy!"
After a short period of intimacy between the two, the fish stopped dripping water!
Nie Baichuan chuckled again: "Yeah."
The corners of Xiang Yao's eyes were rosy, and her face was as red as the rosy clouds in the sky. She looked at the other person's back as he left in a daze. Just from the other person's leisurely posture, she could see the pride and joy in him.
Humph! She touched her lips and snorted in displeasure, but the next moment she couldn't help but bend her eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
After a while, Old Nie came back with perilla.
He chatted with his neighbors for a while while picking perilla, and when he came back he felt that there was something wrong with the two young men.
But he couldn't figure out what was wrong after thinking about it for a long time, so he had to let it go and walked with his hands behind his back to look at the autumn eggplants in the vegetable garden.
Xiang Yao waited until Nie Baichuan had started the fire and cooked the rice, then stood in front of the big pot and started cooking the first fresh river fish she had eaten since she came here.
The two of them each do their own job in the kitchen, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
