Seeing her turn around and run away, Lu Qingyang felt relieved. He packed up and went to Shen Mo's house.
Shen Mo was preparing to cook the fish dumplings he had made last time.
"Lu Qingyang, you're here. Good to see you come. Let's eat dumplings together."
"Okay, I didn't get to taste it last time, let me give it a try today."
Shen Mo has already learned how to make dumplings.
After the water boils, add some cold water until it boils again and the dumplings are cooked when they float.
She excitedly brought out three plates of dumplings: "I made the dumplings today, come and try them!"
Lu Qingyang looked at her with great expectation, sipped it, and praised it seriously:
"The dumplings made by our little Jasmine are so delicious!"
"Hehe." Shen Mo shook her head embarrassedly.
"Wait a minute, I'll give you some seasoning!"
He brought a portion of the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar he usually used to eat to Shen Mo's house, and also prepared a sauce for dipping dumplings and added some hot sauce to it.
"Try it and see if it tastes good."
Shen Mo swallowed a dumpling in one gulp, "Wow, it's so hot."
"Slow down, no one is competing with you."
“Delicious! So delicious!”
The fish meat is tender and delicious to begin with, and the sauce makes it even more flavorful, even the dumpling skin on the outside is flavorful.
I ate a whole bowl of rice, but it was still not enough, so I ordered another pot and finally filled my stomach.
Master Shen felt a little guilty: "Qingyang, you've seen that Shen Mo is different from other girls. She eats a lot. Your life will definitely be more difficult in the future."
"Grandma, you're worrying too much. Although Xiao Moli eats a lot, she also works a lot. I heard that she has been doing a lot of work in the forest farm today, so it's reasonable for her to eat more. Since she follows me, I'll let her eat her fill!"
In winter, there is not much work in the fields, and the villagers in the team will also help cut wood to earn work points.
After hearing this, Master Shen was filled with emotion.
"My dear, did you see that? Xiaomo finally found someone to rely on."
After eating, Master Shen asked Shen Mo to get a few books from the cellar and let her read them by herself.
Lu Qingyang also discovered that she was not like the other girls in the production team and could not read a single word.
"Little Jasmine, have you ever been to school?"
Shen Mo shook her head: "When I was a child, my grandma started teaching me to read and write."
Grandpa Shen drank a cup of tea and explained, "The ancestors of the Shen family were both good at literature and martial arts. I thought that it would be better for her to be literate, otherwise she would be cheated when she went out, so I taught her some when I had time."
It is rare for Master Shen to have such foresight. In fact, he also thinks so.
"Oh, it's a pity that I can't see anymore, otherwise I could teach her more."
Shen Mo raised her head and said, "Grandma, what I learned before is enough for me to read."
However, Lu Qingyang discovered that Shen Mo secretly replaced the collection of poems that Master Shen asked her to read with a literary classic.
Shen Mo saw that Lu Qingyang had noticed it, and quickly made a "huh" gesture, then moved closer to him and whispered:
"Don't let grandma know. I just borrowed it from Fatty."
Lu Qingyang took a look at the title of the novel, which read "Stone Notes" on the cover. He just smiled and said, "I know."
I don’t know if Shen Mo can understand such a profound masterpiece.
Master Shen yawned and went back to rest.
Shen Mo was cracking pine nuts while watching with great interest, smiling from time to time and frowning at times.
Lu Qingyang thought it was very interesting to watch her reaction.
Seeing the obscure and difficult to understand Fang, Shen Mo shook her head in confusion: "What's going on between Jia Bao and this maid? Doesn't he like Sister Lin?"
"I like him, but it doesn't prevent him from being intimate with others."
Shen Mo was confused: "It seems that you have seen it too, why don't you tell me about it?"
"You have to consider the background of that time. In feudal society, it was very common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Although he had intimate behavior with that maid..., the one he loved most in his heart was still Sister Lin. You could say they were soul mates."
Shen Mo nodded thoughtfully: "Then...what about now? After we get married, will you still..."
"I'm not a person in the book. Besides, what kind of society is this now? The Qing Dynasty died a long time ago. This is the Yixin society. There is no such saying. Don't worry, your husband, I'm very experienced!"
"Husband?"
"That is how wives in ancient times addressed their husbands. You can call him husband, or you can call him 'husband'."
Shen Mo blushed and asked curiously, "Then how does a husband address his wife?"
"You can call me madam, madam."
Shen Mo lowered her head and stammered, "Then... after we get married, will you still call me like this?"
"When it's just the two of us, of course."
Nor is it a little fun between husband and wife.
"Since we are going to get married sooner or later, call me husband." He rarely started to tease Shen Mo.
On the contrary, now they are engaged, and he is a bright tease.
"I...I..." Shen Mo stuttered for a while, but finally couldn't say anything.
"I'm so embarrassed!" She put down the book and blushed.
Seeing her blushing face and her long eyelashes blinking, she looked so cute. Lu Qingyang wanted to tease her a few more times, but an inappropriate sound came from next door.
"Auntie Liu, look, what happened to Wanwan? She ignored me no matter how I called her. Is she possessed by evil spirits?"
Liu Chunhua didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, until she was scared to death that time and never dared to think about it again.
Aunt Liu was still surprised: "You educated youth also believe this? Let me see what she looks like."
Several people from the Liu family tried to call Jiang Wanwan's name, but she ignored them and kept muttering:
"He came to me to report to me."
Aunt Liu hissed, "Can you hear what she said?"
"What newspaper or something."
Aunt Liu patted her thigh and said, "Oh, this is not good. She must be possessed by a ghost. You look unconscious."
"What should we do, Mom? You have to help Jiang the educated youth." Liu Fang was so anxious that he was running around in circles.
"I'm not a rope jumper, how can I know all this? If I did know this before, I would have been arrested and criticized a long time ago."
Lu Qingyang and Shen Mo heard their conversation from the other side.
Shen Mo was curious: "What did you do to scare her like this?"
"She deserves it. She has a stomach full of bad water. I'm going to tell you a few words. Climb up and talk to Aunt Liu. You have a way."
"Oh, okay."
Lu Qingyang whispered a few words into Shen Mo's ear, and Shen Mo couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth:
"That's a good idea!"
