Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 16
Hong Haoan saw Puhuang coming in with a bunch of things in his hands, and closed the door. The room was darkened suddenly, only the light leaked from the cracks in the straw above his head. When he took a closer look, there were rabbits and pheasants inside. Strange: "How did you bring these in?"

Pu Huang raised his hand and pointed to the next door, "Here are some fish I caught, as well as pheasants and rabbits. I want to send some to Lizheng. After all, when I entered the door, they contributed a lot. Thanks for that."

Hong Haoan also felt that what Puhuang said was reasonable, the only thing he was ashamed of was that he was supposed to prepare this thing, he tried hard to recall the main characters who came at that time, "The Fifth Aunt is a must, and Aunt Qing , Reminding Auntie, Uncle also wants more, are these enough?"

"Well, I picked a few peaches here, do you think it's okay to give them away?" Puhuang saw that the ones he brought back were too few, "Well, why don't I go to the mountain to pick up the ferns later?" When the grass comes back, I should catch two more pheasants, it should be almost the same.”

Hong Haoan watched Puhuang unfold the big leaves, took a peach and looked at it, and there was a strong peach fragrance, "This peach is not a mountain peach, it is said to be a juicy peach, which is rare for us. If it is a gift, then Courtesy will not be less.”

"That's good. By the way, there are a few fish here, which feel different from those in the river. Take a look." Puhuang found that eating fish here is normal and cheap. If you don't explain how special this fish is, Maybe I'm sorry.

"Let me take a look." Hong Haoan grabbed the straw rope and held the fish in his hand to look at it, "This is not a river fish, and it doesn't smell fishy, ​​where did you get it? Didn't it go to Niuyin Lake?" ?”

Pu Huang rolled his eyes, "I didn't go that far," although it was almost the same, "I saw it in a mountain stream, only these few, where there is an underground river, it seems to flow from there. "Forgive her for lying.

"Mountain stream, dark river? That place should be very remote, you should be careful." Hong Hao'an didn't think much about it, he might not be as familiar with the distribution of the mountain as Puhuang.

"I know that," Puhuang nodded and stretched his waist, "You divide these things up, and I'll go to the mountain again, make lunch when I get back, and deliver the things in the afternoon."

Puhuang went to pick two loads of ferns and came back, and went down to the stream at the foot of the mountain to catch two pheasants, an unknown big bird, which was still stuffed in the ferns as before, and then picked them back.

When I came back, I first brought two barrels of well water back, and then washed the pot, lit the fire and washed the rice. I was very busy, because the fish I brought back were only five, one for each person, and the rest of the puhuang was disposed of. I wanted to try it myself. Taste it.

The fish puhuang was steamed and added some salt, so that it can taste the best original taste, and the taste will not disperse too far when cooking to attract the attention of Wu Shi and others, how long will it take to share the food Well, she didn't want to get into trouble.A plate of steamed fish, a bowl of cold mushrooms and wild vegetables, without any extra seasoning, the taste is okay.

"This fish is really special, and it tastes good." Hong Haoan ate an extra bowl than in the morning, and then put down his chopsticks. Since he cooks it by himself, he doesn't have to carefully calculate that he can't eat more dishes, and he can't add more to the meal. He is at ease. a lot.

"Well, it tastes very good. By the way, have you divided everything up?" Puhuang quickly ate up the rest of the rice. Because the pot was not convenient, it was still cooked porridge.Puhuang's appetite alone requires more than two catties of rice if it is dry rice, and it costs more than one catty for porridge. Therefore, it is really hard to see if half a stone of rice can last three months without restraint. Hard to say.

"I divided them up. The rabbits you brought back are relatively small, so I won't divide them. Each portion is the same, but the weight is almost the same. One fish, one pheasant, one peach, and a small portion of mushrooms. What do you think?" Hong Haoan said, pointing to the basket covered with coarse cloth placed beside the table.

"Mushroom? Is this suitable for giving away, or should I share the stone fungus?" Pu Huang thought about it, whether this mushroom would be too shabby.

"No, stone ears are more expensive. If you give them away, those who know will be suspicious, and those who don't know will waste it. It's all trouble." Hong Haoan shook his head. In their situation, such a gift is already very good.

"That's fine, but the remaining rabbits, do you want to give them one?" Well, she actually didn't want to take advantage of Wu Shi and them at all, but at this juncture of rumors, she couldn't add another unfilial piety.

"After you leave, I'll call my second brother to come and get it." Hong Hao'an also understood that Pu Huang didn't want to deal with Wu Shi, so he took the matter over.

"Well, that's fine. I'll give the other one to my godmother. As for us, I'll get two more tomorrow." Pu Huang thought it was so good, and no one was left behind.

"You, don't be obsessed with these prey. Safety is the most important thing." After hesitating for a moment, Hong Hao'an still said, although the two were lying on the same bed, they were not so close. It always felt weird to say that.

"I understand this. Okay, I'll go wash the dishes." Puhuang was in a good mood, and it felt good that someone cared, even though this person was only her husband in name.

After washing the dishes, Puhuang first sent the rabbit to Xu's, along with a few peaches and some small wild fruits, which were for Yang's appetite. It's not good for pregnant people to eat too monotonously.

Mrs. Xu accepted all these, turned around and gave Puhuang a small bag of cornmeal, saying it was for them pancakes, Puhuang accepted it with a smile, the value is not equal, but reciprocity is always like this.

The sun looked a little big, but Puhuang still went out with a basket. There were few pedestrians on the road, and most of them were sitting and resting indoors.Because Puhuang was carrying a basket, she always passed several doors, and many people peeked at her, pointed behind her, and warned the children to stay away from her and so on.

Puhuang has good ears and can hear clearly. He finds it funny to those who are too cautious. After crossing the stone bridge and going to the right, you will find Kangpingluo in Heping Village. There are nearly [-] families living there, mainly the Hong family. The direct branch of the two branches of Wang and Wang.

Uncle Hong went to see the water in the paddy field today, to see the rice that was earing, to see if there was too much water in the field, and let it go properly. The snails came back.

Just after eating, I was changing the snails in the bucket to spit out mud. When I got up, I saw Puhuang coming over, "Daughter-in-law Haoan, why are you free to come over today?" These days, rumors about Puhuang being an ominous person spread in the village. , and it's no secret that the couple were separated to eat alone.

Because of this, as the person who bought Puhuang back then, Uncle Hong's family still let many people talk about it, it was nothing more than misjudged and deceived. He would really vent his depression on this niece and daughter-in-law.

"Hello uncle, it's like this, I got some fresh wild animals at home, and I just brought them for you to add food." Pu Huang held the basket in the crook of his right arm, and bowed to the Hong family uncle in salute.

"Master, who are you talking to?" Guan Shi said as he went out of the room, seeing Puhuang, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, "Ah, it's Hao'an's wife, come in and sit down, have you had lunch yet? Why didn’t Hao’an come here together?” She also heard the rumors about Puhuang, and only those ignorant women would take it seriously, she paid special attention to these two small mouths, and they got along well, this niece and daughter-in-law have a lot of strength, It is just right for that big nephew.

Pu Huangfu stood up and said with a smile: "Auntie, my husband has eaten and rested. The weather is a bit hot." Then, he lifted the coarse cloth from the basket and took out fish and pheasants tied with straw ropes and two Big Leaf Bun, "I got these from the mountain today. They are fresh. You can make soup for grandma and you to nourish your body!"

Mrs. Guan was not polite to Puhuang either, she reached out to take it. When she walks in the future, human relations are necessary. Although there is no family separation, but the food is shared, and she is not afraid of Mrs. Wu coming to make trouble after taking things, "It's hard for you to have this Xiaoxin, I will cook it for my mother tonight."

"Well, uncle, auntie, I'll go to Lizheng's house, thank him for helping to obtain the household registration." Puhuang saluted, and after they nodded, they went to Lizheng's house. Not far from Uncle Hong's family, very close.

The rest of the fish was sent to Lizheng Fifth Uncle's family, and they were all kept and said a few words. Cui's family was even more enthusiastic, and she almost put a bowl in Puhuang's hand. She almost ran away Leaving Ri Masa's house.

People in Bishui Town are adjacent to rivers and lakes. There are a lot of aquatic products such as fish and shrimp, and the price is not expensive. Few people buy them as gifts, usually only the poor, who make dried fish. will send.As for the matter of Hong Haoan and Puhuang, the village knew everything about it. Therefore, no one said anything when she sent the fish over. I have this heart.

The families sent by Puhuang are all from good families, and they really don’t like the two fishes of Puhuang, but what they like is Puhuang’s heart and know how to be a human being, but they think she is not very good to buy. Yes, I also started to change my impression.

In the evening, Mrs. Guan directly cooked the fish and chicken. Although the old Mrs. Zhang seldom eats meat and meat after worshiping the Buddha, he still eats some fish.

"This fish tastes very good today. It's not from the river. Where did you buy it?" Mrs. Zhang ate half a bowl of rice for this, and made Uncle Hong and Mrs. Guan happy. They were very filial, Naturally hope the old man is well.

"Mother, you don't know, it was sent by Hao An's daughter-in-law. She said it was a wild thing on the mountain, but I don't know how this child got it." Guan said with a smile.

Hearing the pitiful meaning in Guan's words, old Zhang shook his head, and said to Uncle Hong: "This time you have a good eye for people, you have this ability, and you have this heart. Boy An's life will not be bad. Where to go, you usually look at it and help."

"Mother, we know." Uncle Hong nodded, without Hong Hao'an, there would be no Hong Haoxing, "Mother, if you like this fish, then you can buy it from Hao'an's wife, so she won't waste her time and can help killed them."

"It's up to you to figure it out!" Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, and entered the house with the support of Mrs. Guan and Mr. Hong's family.
