Chapter 2 Debunking
Xiaohe Village is a typical southern village, with blue bricks and black tiles, houses one after another, neatly arranged, and alleys are paved with bluestone slabs.
Liu Xiao'e was sitting on the stone pier in front of the gate, peeling broad beans and chatting with her neighbors. When she saw her niece coming around the corner, she asked with a smile: "Meizi, why are you here?" Come to see us, Lin Shu?”
“Auntie, I’m here to see you.” Lin Mei said and smiled at the neighbor aunts sitting at the door.
Liu Xiao'e was stunned: "Looking for me?"
"Yes." Lin Mei took advantage of the situation and sat on the whetstone next to her. "I recently discovered that Lin Shu has a close relationship with Zhu Zhiqing from the Educated Youth Point, so I wanted to ask, aunt, are you planning to recruit Zhu Zhiqing as your son-in-law?"< br>
When Liu Xiao'e heard this, she glanced nervously at the neighbors sitting at the door, her face darkened, and she warned: "Meizi, you are about the same age as Lin Shu, you are not a 46-year-old who doesn't understand." The girl in the movie should know what to say and what not to say. How can a well-behaved girl like Lin Shu associate with an educated youth? "
This means that I don't understand anything. Lin Mei suppressed her anger and asked with a slight frown: "But I just saw Lin Shu and Zhu Zhiqing going to the woods in Woniuling together."
Wow!
Big melon!
The women chatting and choosing vegetables beside them suddenly became energetic. There is nothing new in the countryside. Everyone’s usual entertainment is probably that the east has long families and the west has short families. If they can dig out some of the secrets of other people’s families, they will not be afraid of losing it in the next few months. It’s time to talk.
"Meizi!"
Liu Xiao'e was secretly annoyed that this little girl didn't even wink at all. She was probably deliberately trying to ruin the reputation of her family Lin Shu, "Maybe you were dazzled and saw it wrong. ”
Aunt Niu next to her made good friends with Liu Xiao'e and asked, "Xiao'e, where did Lin Shu go?"
Liu Xiao'e glanced at Lin Mei and replied: "Going to pull grass in the private plot. ”
"Really?" Lin Mei asked uncertainly, scratched her head, and said with pretending concern: "Auntie, don't be angry. I'm worried that Lin Shu will go the wrong way. After all, Lin Shu reconciles with the family. But there is an engagement."
The eyes of the audience eating melons suddenly brightened up. After this reminder, they also remembered that Lin Shu and the eldest son of the family seemed to be slightly involved.
Many people, whether they believe Lin Mei's words or not, have begun to despise Lin Shu in their hearts.
If what Lin Mei said is true, then Lin Shu is just stepping on two boats, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and the watery flowers bloom.
“We are peacemakers”
Liu Xiao'e didn't know how to answer for a moment. From the bottom of her heart, she wanted to reconcile with her family and become her in-laws. However, after being teased like this, she was not sure whether her daughter was really having an affair with an educated youth.
“I can’t count the number of marriage contracts I’ve reconciled with my family!”
A clear female voice came from the corner of the street.
Everyone looked around and saw that Lin Shu, who Lin Mei had been dating Zhu Zhiqing just now, walked over from the corner.
"The marriage contract with the Hejia Family does not count. Does Lin Shu really like Zhu Zhiqing?"
This is everyone's first thought after hearing this.
No, some people were not afraid of the trouble and asked it face to face.
"Lin Shu, Lin Mei said that you and Zhu Zhiqing were dating in Woniuling. Is that true? Are you and Zhu Zhiqing dating?"
"How is that possible!" Lin Shu Immediate denial.
She was afraid that if she paused for a second, these people would associate her with Zhu Zhengliang. "I was pulling grass in my private plot just now. I didn't have time to interact with male educated youths. As you know, the educated youths in the educated youth area look down on us country people."
When everyone heard the explanation, Lin Shu and Liu Xiaoe’s words matched each other. Maybe Lin Shu really went to pull grass in the private plot.
"Lin Shu, you went to pull grass in the private plot, how did you get yourself so dirty?"
Lin Mei's eyes flashed with resentment, and her words also reminded everyone that everyone Only then did he notice that Lin Shu's shoes and pants were all wet.
"Oh, here." Lin Shu stamped his feet carelessly and waved a few plantains in his hand: "On the way back just now, I pulled a few plantains. Accidentally slipped into the paddy field.”
"Tsk, Lin Shu, you are really unlucky. You can slip into the paddy field even if you pull a piece of grass, and you are also slandered for dating a man." Aunt Niu assisted.
Lin Shu smiled coldly: "It's quite unlucky. I got into trouble even though I didn't do anything."
Liu E looked at the plantain in her hand and said displeasedly He asked: "If you don't do business, why bring this thing back? Field stalks are everywhere on the barren slopes. If you pull it back and feed it to the pigs, it will get stuck in your throat!"
The plantains in this season are already old, and the middle part is The stem is already covered with plantain.
You can’t eat it cold, but you can drink it by boiling it in water to clear away heat, remove dampness and promote diuresis. It is suitable for Lin Shu who has a few acne on his face.
"I have some acne on my face. Use this to boil some water and drink it." Lin Shu explained.
"Lin Shu, if you boil this water and drink it, your acne will be cured?" Aunt Liu, the neighbor next to her, asked.
Aunt Liu’s son is in the period of puberty and development. Perhaps due to his skin type, he has a lot of pimples on his face.
In this era, people in the village call pimples collectively called acne.
“Severe cases can be alleviated, and non-serious cases should be cured.”
Lin Shu's meaning was very clear. The acne on her own face would be cured after a few days of drinking a few more drinks and washing it with plantain water, but it would not necessarily be the case for Aunt Liu's son.
But there is no harm in drinking plantain to clear away heat and relieve dampness.
Just when everyone's attention turned to the plantains, Lin Mei looked at Lin Shu secretly in surprise and uncertainty. According to the relationship between the two of them, if they went to the woods, something would happen?
But now that Lin Shu has returned, it seems that he will not be able to achieve his goal this time.
Lin Shu was about to go into the house to wash up and change clothes at Liu Xiao'e's urging. The moment she stepped into the threshold, she stopped.
Lin Shu turned around and said casually: "Oh, I almost forgot, cousin, if you like Xie Chunlei, just ask your family to propose marriage to Jie's family. Don't use me as a raft next time. You know how important a girl’s reputation is, how fun is it to associate me with other men?”
Lin Mei seemed startled when she heard her words, and shook her head in panic: “I don’t. I don't mean anything else, I just care You."
"I thank you for your concern!" Lin Shu smiled angrily, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "It's just that I'm not lucky enough to bear this kind of concern from you, so don't care about me next time. It's my business, if you have time It’s better not to care more about your own family affairs.”
“What are you kidding about? How can any girl take the initiative to propose marriage?” Liu Xiao’e was almost furious with her daughter after hearing the bickering between the two children. .
Xie Chunlei is the son-in-law he likes, so how could he give it to his brother-in-law's eldest niece?
Lin Shu was dragged back into the room by Liu Xiao'e, isolated from outsiders, and she asked rudely: "What did you mean by that just now? Do you look down on such a good young man like Xie Chunlei?"
