The beauty of the lady

Chapter 6 Harvest
Mrs. Zhao took Zhou Tang, put it in her arms, and said with a smile, "Maybe I'm hungry." After speaking, she untied her clothes and fed Zhou Tang milk.

Zhou Zhouzhuang turned his head to look at Zhou Mei with a smile and said, "Sister Mei, I will go to the market in the town the day after tomorrow, let's go with my father to see what is missing at home."

Zhou Mei nodded after hearing this for a while, "I see."

At night, Zhou Zhuang and his wife were lying on the kang with their son Zhou Tang in the middle, and they were already sleeping soundly.

He looked at his wife's thin cheeks, was silent for a while, and then expressed his doubts: "I always feel that when I come back this time, Sister Mei is not as clinging to me as before."

There was a deep sense of loss in his tone.

Mrs. Zhao paused slightly as she patted her son's hand, then sighed, and told him what happened to Zhou Mei a few days ago. Hearing that, Wednesday Zhuang frowned.

After a long time, he raised his hand and held his wife's hand: "Xiuyun, it's all my fault, I'm useless, I can't give you a good life."

Mrs. Zhao shook her head lightly: "It's not your fault. I think it's already very good now. You have lost too much for me. Now that we have sons and daughters, I think it's already very good."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhao seemed to have thought of something, and said to him, "What New Year's gift shall we send to Shangfang?"

Zhou Zhuang's expression was a little unnatural, and he looked at Zhao and said, "I'll go to the town the day after tomorrow to have a look. Our family doesn't have much money, and we have to keep it for you to see a doctor. Let's use less. Everyone in the village knows about our family's situation." .”

Mrs. Zhao nodded with a smile, then looked a little tired, retracted her whole body into the quilt, and said softly: "Take a rest earlier, you are tired too."

"it is good!"

Mrs. Zhao closed her eyes, feeling at ease after her husband came back, and she slept very comfortably this time.

Whoever said that her husband was stupid, actually knew it very well in his heart, but he just didn't want to say it. When he was in his own room, he could still talk to her very well.

Zhou Mei got up early the next morning. She has her own biological alarm clock, and she gets up around six o'clock every day. Before getting up, she would go to the gym for half an hour. You can stretch and move around.

Last night, because Wednesday Zhuang came back, she talked to Mrs. Zhao after dinner. She didn't take a bath, but she boiled water by herself and wiped her body in the room.

After about half an hour of activities, she felt that her body was already warm. She went to the yard to get some firewood, and went to the kitchen to start making breakfast.

Breakfast is cornmeal porridge. Along the way, I steamed a bowl of bacon. After smashing the garlic, I chopped it into pieces, mixed it with soy sauce and vinegar, and put it in a bowl for dipping. There are also buns and rice. , because there was an extra Wednesday strong, the rice at home bottomed out this morning, and the rest can only eat cornmeal, thinking that since I can go to the market tomorrow, I will buy some white noodles and come back, I always feel that I have been eating cornmeal, her throat The eyes are a little unbearable.

But the most urgent thing now is to think about what can make a living. This family really can't survive on Wednesday's strength, and Zhao's illness can't be delayed.

For breakfast, Mrs. Zhao and Wednesday Zhuang tasted the sausage dipped in garlic, and they both thought it was delicious, and the spiciness was good for appetizing, so they ate a lot.

Zhou Mei drank a bowl of cornmeal porridge and half a bowl of rice. After cleaning up, she walked into the kang room.

"Father and mother, I'll go to the mountain to have a look first."

"What are you doing up the mountain this early in the morning? It's so cold outside." Zhou Zhuang said.

"I set a trap on the mountain yesterday to see if there are any rabbits or roe deer." After all, it was a waste of corn bread, so I can't give it away for nothing.

After Wednesday Zhuang heard about it, he immediately became interested. He got off the kang and put on his shoes, and said to Zhou Mei: "The road is slippery in this snowy day. I will go with you. You don't have to worry about going to your parents by yourself."

"Okay." Zhou Mei nodded, feeling a little warm in her heart, this is the parental affection that she never enjoyed in her previous life.

The father and daughter went out. After more than a day outside, the snow had melted a little, and the road looked particularly muddy.

On Wednesday, Zhuangyi looked down and saw that the shoes on his daughter's feet were very worn out, his heart was a little sore, he bent down and picked up Zhou Mei, and walked up the mountain with big strides.

"When Dad Ming'er takes you to the town to buy a pair of shoes, you won't be able to wear them anymore."

When Zhou Mei was picked up by Wednesday Zhuang, her whole body became stiff in an instant, twisted twice, and wanted to get down, but Wednesday Zhuang ignored him, and said with a smile: "Don't move around, fall, the best time is when there is melting snow outside." It's cold, don't freeze your feet, your mother won't be so distressed."

After saying this, Zhou Mei stopped struggling, but her complexion was a little bad.

Although her body is only seven years old, her inner soul is already over 20 years old. Being hugged by a big man, even if it is her own father, she feels uncomfortable.

After all, Wednesday Zhuang is a big man, and his physical strength is much better than Zhou Mei's. It took only half an hour to go up the mountain. After asking where Zhou Mei set the trap, he walked over under the guidance of his daughter. .

When they went down the mountain again, they had already re-set the traps, and Wednesday Zhuang was holding four rabbits in his hands, and a roe deer was in Zhou Mei's arms. She didn't expect that these five traps would not fail of.

Looking at the rabbit and roe deer in his hand, although they are not considered fat, at least during the Chinese New Year, they can eat meat.

Zhou Mei muttered: "Wait until Dad sends Aunt Hua two rabbits there. When you were not at home, Aunt Hua gave our family a lot of things."

"Well, Dad knows, it's our sister Mei who is capable, and has caught all five traps." Wednesday Zhuang said with a smile.

Everyone said that Zhou Zhuang was dull and honest this week, but in fact, watching him speak, it was not as he remembered.

"Father, why do you go to the restaurant in the town to wash vegetables? Don't you have other livelihoods?" She asked in a low voice.

Zhou Zhuang turned his daughter upside down, and said with a smile: "Father has no skills or craftsmanship, and our family has no land. Your mother's health is not good, so I can only go to the town to find a job, although if I go to Fucheng, I can earn more. Some, it’s inconvenient to go home.”

Zhou Mei nodded, but that was the case. Their family had no money, so they couldn't buy land.

"How much money does dad make every month?"

"Our sister Mei has also started to learn how to be a housekeeper?" Zhou Zhou Zhuang said with a smile: "Father earns little, only three renminbi. If it weren't for the boss to take care of the food and lodging, maybe there would be a little more money."

Three qian, that is, three hundred copper coins, she came back every half a month to deliver medicines to Mrs. Zhao, and there were only forty or fifty copper coins left after asking for money, which was really not enough.

On the way back, Zhou Mei kept thinking about how she could make money here, but after much deliberation, she had no idea at all. It seems that this matter really needs to be thought about at night.
