Jiaohu

Chapter 38

Since the rumor that Zhao Huniu instigated Zhao Licheng and the others to go up the mountain spread in the village,
Although the way adults treat her hasn't changed much,
But almost all told their children to have less contact with Zhao Huniu.

As for Zhao Licheng's family, it was even worse, he almost turned his head and left when he saw him, and his mother, Aunt Zhao Wu, stopped saying hello when she saw Zhao Huniu and her daughter.

Zhao Yong is fine.

When we met, we exchanged some pleasantries more or less.

But just like what Zhao Huniu and Liu Xiaowan said, she doesn't care about the attitude of the villagers towards her, and she has a clear conscience about this matter, so she naturally takes it calmly,

It's just hard work Liu Xiaowan,

Although Zhao Huniu had told her this, every time she heard someone discussing this matter in the village, she would still take the initiative to argue with them.

Brassica Village passed Xiaohan, and it snowed almost all day long.

In a few days, the snow had accumulated as thick as the calf.

In this weather, almost no one went out, and they all stayed at home; Zhao Huniu and Zhao Cunwu also stayed at home, setting up a fire in the yard, while roasting the fermented glutinous rice cakes made a few days ago.

Zhao Huniu built a shed above the chicken coop and duck pen to prevent the snow from accumulating, and tied straw on the fence so that it would be warmer after all.
Even if a duck and a chicken were frozen to death, she didn't waste it.

Let Zhao Cunwu stew it,

Eat full for two days.

The mash made of white rice in front of you exudes a sweet aroma of rice under the charcoal fire.

Zhao Huniu was sitting by the stove in a cotton-padded jacket. Seeing that it was almost baked, she reached out and turned the fermented glutinous rice cakes over;

"Father, take out the sauce,"

"coming,"

Zhao Cunwu came out of the kitchen with a small jar in his arms, breathing while walking,
"Huh, it's freezing cold,"

The small jar was placed by Zhao Huniu's hand, and Zhao Cunwu took the small bench and sat down.

"Good girl, don't tell me it's better to build a shed as you said." He raised his head to look at the grass shed on the top. "After building this shed, we don't have to sweep the snow."

"Um,"

Zhao Huniu took the fermented glutinous rice cakes that had been baked on the stove and put them in a bowl, and put the new fermented glutinous rice cakes on top.

"Just take it off when it gets hot, and replace it with a new one next fall."

"The good girl has really grown up,"

Hearing what Zhao Huniu said, Zhao Cunwu said with great relief:
"Now that I have you at home, Dad has nothing to worry about. When you get married in the future, Dad will really be reluctant."

Speaking of this, Zhao Cunwu's tone was a little choked up,

He raised his hand and wiped the corner of his eye.

Zhao Huniu's gaze kept on the rice cake in front of her, as if she wasn't listening to what Zhao Cunwu said.The man went on self-consciously:
"Although my father is reluctant, after all, my daughter is going to marry when she grows up, and it's almost time for my father to consider this matter for you. Although our family is a little richer now, we can't spend it carelessly.
I need to save some money for your dowry.

Although your mother left early, as for the dowry, father will try his best to prepare the best for you.do not worry.

If you have a boy you like, you can tell dad."

Zhao Cunwu babbled on about Zhao Huniu's marriage, and Zhao Huniu had already finished roasting a whole plate of mash; she reached out and picked up the hottest one just baked,
With the other hand, he opened the jar, and two chopsticks stretched in and out evenly wrapped around the fermented glutinous rice cakes.

put the chopsticks aside,
Zhao Huniu opened her mouth and bit down.

The freshly baked glutinous rice cakes are full of the aroma of rice, with a slightly crispy texture, crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside.
Wrapped in a mellow pickle sauce,

Although it is an extremely simple ingredient, it tastes special in this snowy winter.

Zhao Cunwu said that he saw that Zhao Huniu didn't talk to him for a long time, so he stopped talking in embarrassment; he also picked up a piece of fermented rice cake, touched the pickled sauce like Zhao Huniu,

The father and daughter just sat around the fire,
While listening to the sound of falling snow, I ate the fermented cake.

There is no tea at home, so I can only boil a piece of ice,

Pour boiling hot water into a bowl, soak the remaining half of the fermented glutinous rice cakes, the aroma of sauce and rice soak in the water and spread out,

After Zhao Huniu finished eating, she could clearly feel that her whole body was getting hot.

"I'll do the dishes, Dad,"

"what,"

After washing the dishes in the kitchen, Zhao Huniu came out wiping her hands, and said to Zhao Cunwu who was still sitting in the yard:
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room to rest, Dad."

"Ah, ah, it's all right,
Go ahead. "

"it is good."

Watching Zhao Huniu walk into her room,

Zhao Cunwu sighed,
He picked up the tongs at his feet and turned over the coals in the furnace,

A few sparks splashed out of it, and soon disappeared into the vast white snow.

Zhao Huniu sat cross-legged on the bed and let out a long breath.

She connected the three seals with both hands, and placed them on the top of the head, chest, and knees respectively; feeling the inner strength swimming through her five internal organs, she adjusted her breath and concentrated, and controlled the inner strength to swim in the direction she wanted.

Although it was hard to go out in the heavy snow, it just gave Zhao Huniu a chance to meditate and practice internally.
Some time ago, she was busy hunting in the mountains, or going to the city,
There is almost no time for internal repair.

However, she looked inside for the first time after recovering from her injury that day, and found that her internal energy had increased a lot; these newly increased internal energy were peacefully sleeping in Zhao Huniu's dantian,
Now that I am free, I just call Zhao Huniu to collect them for my own use.

It was very strenuous to walk for the first time at the beginning, and the obedient internal strength was only small, and it dissipated when it reached the chest position.
But Zhao Huniu was not impatient,

Instead, re-mobilize and continue to swim.

From the small strands at the beginning, they gradually became more numerous and thicker, and the range of movement became larger.

Zhao Huniu could hear the slight trembling sound of the muscles and bones all over her body, which was the embodiment of her inner strength strengthening herself through walking.

She didn't let go of her control for joy,
Still carefully controlling the inner strength to move through the meridians.

After this inner training is over, it is already night,

Zhao Huniu opened her eyes suddenly, and two beams of light poured out from inside, like two night pearls in the dark room.

She took a deep breath and put down her hands,
I moved my neck casually, and I could hear the "crackling" sound of the bones on my body.

It stands to reason that Zhao Huniu has been cultivating internally for such a long time, Zhao Cunwu should come in and ask; but a few days ago Zhao Huniu specifically explained to Zhao Cunwu,
If you stay in the house for too long, tell him not to come in and disturb him,

After all, if you are disturbed during internal cultivation,
It is very easy to go crazy.

After that, although Zhao Cunwu was very puzzled, he still listened to Zhao Huniu's words.

The girl stepped out of bed, opened the door,

It was dark in the courtyard,
The only place in the whole Zhao family is the kitchen, which emits a subtle but warm light.

Bursts of rice fragrance wafted over.

In the past, Zhao Huniu usually cooks, but Zhao Huniu will miss the cooking time during internal training, so Zhao Cunwu will consciously take on the responsibility of cooking,

After Zhao Huniu internally repairs, she can often eat hot meals.

She quietly looked at the dim yellow flickering light,

walked over.
