The cook is very busy

Chapter 1 The Old Jia's Daughter
Just after noon, the mothers-in-law and aunts of Yugou Village packed up the clothes of the whole family and gathered by the river, looking for a cool place to squat down to wash clothes.

From time to time, a few carps would jump out of the clear water, roll on the river surface and then dive into the water, leaving circles of ripples.

Those with children nestled together, looked at the children while doing laundry, and took care of each other, so that no one's children would fall into the water carelessly if they were playful.

The children are not idle even if they are stuck, nestling behind their mothers to watch the carp roll, and anyone who sees them will yell to let them see, chattering all morning.

Then I got tired of watching it, so I went to play in the ruins by the river. It used to be a small wooden house, but it was washed away by the flood in the early years, and only some rotten wood remained.

Those mothers-in-law and aunts who can't keep their mouths open take advantage of the noise of the children, and start chatting about the daily life. Whose mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreled yesterday, whose aunt and sister-in-law are having conflicts again today, whose daughter-in-law changes every day. Pulling on his clothes, the man looked at him and started talking again, chatting about everything, and the rumors in the village were spread from here.

An auntie laughed after hearing this, and saw Mrs. Chen approaching from afar, hurriedly beckoned her to come over, and moved to the side by herself to make room for her.

Mrs. Chen also accepted her favor, anyway, she was not chattering anywhere, she took a few steps to put down the basin, lifted her skirt and put it between her legs, and as soon as she sat down, the auntie couldn't wait to ask.

She went on a long trip a while ago, and when she came back, she heard what happened to the daughter of the old Jia family, but every time she couldn't hear everything, it made her feel very uncomfortable, so she wanted to find someone who understood.

No, I ran into Mrs. Chen today, she is the neighbor of the old Jia's family, so I was right when I asked her, "Hey, motherfucker, what happened to the old Jia's girl? What happened? "

Mrs. Chen picked out a short hexagram from the basin, shook it and put it in the water to soak it. Maybe she talked a lot these days, so she didn't bother to babble, so she passed it with a few casual sentences.

"What's the matter? The daughter of the old Jia's family is still staying at home. It's been seven or eight days, and I haven't seen her come out yet."

The auntie didn't hear what she wanted to hear, so she was a little unwilling, and asked again, "Then you didn't visit her house, don't you live opposite the door?"

Mrs. Chen held the washing stick on the ground, straightened her back and stared at the aunt, and said displeasedly, "Why do I go to her house when I have nothing to do, and that girl just came back from the ghost gate, you don't think it's bad for me." It’s still disgusting!”

The mother-in-law gave a "tsk" and wiped the saliva off her eyelids, "Look at you mother-in-law, if you don't say it, don't say it, it will make my face!"

"Hey, look at that hypocritical look, come here, I'll wipe it for you," Mrs. Chen said as she grabbed a piece of clothing from the auntie's basin and stuffed it into her face.

"Don't mind, I'll wash you up," the auntie didn't want to be outdone, she greeted her after dipping her hands in some river water, and the two of them started playing like this.

Just now, these two people were talking about a family named Jia who lives in the west of the village. There are only an old couple and a daughter in the family.

The old couple of Jia's family are good people, but their fate is not good. They only gave birth to a daughter in their thirties, and they are still weak and sick.

Just over a month ago, the daughter of the family fell ill again, and she was still seriously ill. The old couple asked a doctor to see a doctor, and a Taoist priest to practice. They all said that they would not survive this month.

In the end, his relatives gave an idea, saying it was for joy, anyway, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, if it can be relieved, everyone will be happy, if it can't be relieved, it should be done sooner.

At that time, the family was preparing for weddings and weddings. They sold a few acres of fertile land as a dowry gift and recruited a son-in-law. They were all in a mess.

That stult scared the young man, he walked out of Jia's house even after crawling and crawling, and the people from the in-law's family gave up the bride price and ran away. They were afraid of a lawsuit, and they came here to make a happy event, but they rushed him out before entering the bridal chamber. No, no one is afraid of anyone.

But what made people even more jumpy was yet to come. The girl straightened up for a cup of tea, and suddenly let out a breath, as if she had been holding her back for a long time, and she came back to life!
At that time, not to mention the people in the room, even the old couple who hugged her and wailed were terrified, thinking that they were fraudulent corpses!
That day, the old Jia’s uncle who came to visit ran away, and the marriage could not be done. Some people in the village who were going to have a wedding banquet scared this girl again, and they all left early. No one knew what happened to the family afterwards. .

It's just that someone said that Lao Jiatou invited a doctor to come and see her overnight, and the doctor took his pulse and told her that this girl was destined to die, so it would be good if she could get over this energy and get over it.

However, when the news got out, there were all kinds of rumors. After all, it was rumored to be evil. People in the village were very shy. A big girl who had lost her breath came back to life after a while. , I was panicked when I heard it.

Mrs. Chen had a quarrel with the aunt for a while, and got into this conversation again, but Mrs. Chen just said this, when she turned around for some reason, her mouth slanted, her eyes turned to her head, and her elbows kept pulling back.

The auntie was taken aback, thinking she was going mad with epileptic seizures, she flicked her hand and stuffed the laundry stick into her mouth to prevent her from biting her own tongue.

"Bah bah bah..."

Mrs. Chen pushed the aunt away, spat and cursed a few times, "What are you doing, you dead auntie!"

The auntie looked at her wonderingly, "Didn't you have a convulsion?"

"Fuck you, you're just having a convulsion!"

"Then you are like this!" The aunt was also angry, imitating Chen's appearance just now, with crooked eyes, mouth slanted and arms trembling, it was clearly a convulsion.

"What good eyesight do you have, I'm telling you to look at the back, Lao Jia's daughter is here—— ouch!!!"

Chen suddenly became angry, pulled his sleeves to wipe his mouth, yelled and threw it back, the back of his hand happened to touch something, and he was stabbed.

"Mother, who is this!" She didn't read the almanac when she went out today! !
Chen clapped her hands and yelled, she turned her head and saw a big girl in linen clothes standing behind her, she immediately whispered, why did this old Jia's Ziqing come here?
Ziqing originally wanted to go to the shady place on the side, but suddenly someone blocked the way.

She lowered her head to look at Mrs. Chen, and changed hands the bamboo basket containing several clothes. This basket was quite old, and several bamboo pieces were tied up on the handle.

Ziqing pondered for a while before realizing that this auntie lived across from her house, so she just smiled and said hello, and then went over with a basket.

Chen was stunned for a moment and wanted to laugh, but she just twitched the corners of her mouth stiffly. The aunt next to her looked at her and asked hurriedly. She just said that the daughter of the old Jia family is here. Could it be this seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl? girl?

Mrs. Chen kept following Ziqing with her eyes, and nodded dully. The aunt lived in the east of the village and rarely went to the west of the village. In addition, the daughter of the old Jia's family was always sick at home. Such a person has never been seen before.

However, when she looked at this girl today, although her appearance was average and her figure was a little thin, the dimple on her cheek was particularly flattering, and she looked pretty on her face.

Just such a big girl, how can she look like a sick child? Could it be that Chen's mother-in-law is lying on her, trying to scare her? !
The aunt yelled and cursed in her heart, and Mrs. Chen was also very puzzled. She had seen this girl from the old Jia family before. Although she was so thin, she was not in a good mood all day long. At the door of my house, it looks like a clay doll on the stall.

But now, this woman can move, laugh and talk, so she is a little more warm-hearted.

Could it be that she told the big doctor, "This girl has a lot of life, just slow down and get over it..."
