Peasant woman

Chapter 26

Xu Cao and Fugui Cat were in the kitchen, Fugui sat on the edge of the stove and stuffed firewood into it, Miao Miao sat beside him, playing with a small stick in the stove, giggling alone non-stop.

"Fugui, be careful with Miao Miao, don't let her burn yourself."

Fu Gui responded, looked back at the heavy snow fluttering in the yard, and said happily: "Daughter-in-law, we can be regarded as catching up with the heavy snow, fortunately we are all done."

After seventeen or eight days of hard work, I finally finished the two acres of land before the heavy snowfall, opened up wasteland, turned the soil, and fertilized.

Xu Cao also breathed a sigh of relief. If they took care of these two acres of land by themselves, it would take at least two or three months.It is much faster to invite people now.In fact, it only took five or six days to cut down the tree and dig out the roots. The rest of the days were spent plowing the field. After plowing again and again, the soil became much softer.This wasted some time.

A few days ago, the kang was burned up, and after breakfast, the two carried Miaomiao onto the kang, and the room was still freezing cold.Xu Cao ran to light the firewood left over from cooking, and entered the house with the brazier in hand.

There were a few clucking sounds from the chicken cage nestled under the eaves, Xu Cao hurriedly chopped up the dried wild vegetables and threw them into the chicken cage.

Speaking of these two pheasants surprised Xu Cao for a long time. These two pheasants were brought back from the mountain by Heizi when it was snowing a few days ago. When they came back, they were still alive and kicking, but they were a little scared.

Seeing Heizi enter the yard with two pheasants in his mouth that day, Xu Cao was almost dumbfounded. This was the first time she saw a dog that could return its prey.Heizi threw the two pheasants at Xu Cao's feet.

In the evening, Fu Gui came back and heard what Xu Cao said, and said with a smile: "Heizi is very capable. He often brings back prey at home, so let's not kill those two pheasants, raise them, and save them for the winter to eat fresh ones." .”

That night, Xu Cao rewarded Heizi with a big bone to gnaw, which made Xiaobai whimper and scream, thinking of Xiaobai's contribution to taking care of the house during this period, the bacon drying in the yard and the smoked meat in the kitchen. But it was watching the meat enema, and hurriedly gave Xiaobai a bone.Xiaobai was not as magnanimous as Heizi, picked up the bone and ran to the backyard, and came to the front yard after a while, squatting next to Heizi to watch Heizi gnaw on the bone.In the end, Heizi didn't know if he was full or what happened, so Xiaobai let Xiaobai eat the remaining half of the bone.Xiaobai didn't know how to be polite, he hugged the bone with his two front paws, and began to chew happily.

For these two pheasants, Xu Cao was afraid that they would be frozen, so he made a chicken coop for them under the eaves, and covered it with thick dry thatch.

After moving the brazier into the room, the room became much warmer.Xu Caowo sewed and mended on the kang, while Fugui taught Miao Miao how to speak.

After a while, Mrs. Shen came over to visit with Mr. Jun in her arms. Mr. Jun was a little afraid of being rich, so he lay in Mrs. Shen's arms and didn't dare to play with Miao Miao. It was Xu Cao who carried Miao Miao on the kang and let the two children play. stand up.

Shen Shi and Xu Cao got along well, and they were mending things while chatting.

Not long after Xu Cao was busy, she was so smoked by the brazier in the house that she couldn't open her eyes, and Shen's eyes were also a little red. , sooner or later your eyes will be burnt out."

Xu Cao agreed, "That's right, Fugui, let's go buy some carbon and come back?" The carbon in the town cost two cents a catty, so buy two or three hundred catties and come back. If you save it, you can survive this winter .

On a snowy day, I couldn't go anywhere, and at night, I ate early and went to bed.

In the past two days, Xu Cao has always felt a faint pain in her stomach, but she didn't pay attention to it. When she fell asleep in Fugui's arms at night, she suddenly felt a heat from her lower body, and a stream of hot stuff flowed out.She froze, and finally knew what was going on.

She came to Kwai Shui, and finally came to Kwai Shui for the first time when she was almost 14 years old.I'm afraid that the food I eat these days is better, and my body is almost healthy, so I came to the sunflower water.

Xu Cao's body was very stiff, and she moved in Fu Gui's arms.

"What's the matter, daughter-in-law?" Fugui hurriedly got up, and also noticed her stiffness.These days Xu Cao has long been used to his hugs, her body will not be stiff anymore, but now that her body is stiff, Fugui thought something happened to her.

Xu Cao's face was a little hot, and she whispered: "I'm going to the latrine."

Fugui thought that she had spoiled her stomach, so he quickly picked up the clothes on the side and put them on her, "Go quickly, don't catch a cold."

Xu Cao put on her clothes and let out a hum. She took some time to find a pair of underwear in the box, and then found the things she needed when Kuishui came, and hurriedly ran out the door.Fugui took a thoughtful look and knew what happened to his daughter-in-law.

Xu Cao changed into obscene trousers, rolled up the dirty trousers, and then went back to the room, where she hid the dirty trousers and put them on the kang.

Fugui didn't say anything, and continued to hug her to sleep.

When she opened her eyes in the morning, Xu Cao discovered that Fugui was washing her dirty pair of underwear in a corner of the room with a small tub.Panicked, she hurriedly dressed and jumped off the bed, blushing like a monkey's buttocks, "No need, I'll just wash it myself."

No man has washed this thing for her in her previous life, so she is not ashamed.

"Go and rest, take a good rest these few days, don't touch cold water, or it will be bad for your health in the future." Fugui became a kiss, and knows a lot about it.I also know that my little daughter-in-law is shy.

Xu Cao stood aside with a flushed face and watched the burly man squatting there washing her underwear, and suddenly felt warm in her heart, more comfortable than drinking a bowl of hot soup in winter.

Fugui took two more shots of water and came in to clean the obscene pants.He washed his daughter-in-law's clothes and didn't want people outside to see him, and he didn't want his mother to talk to his third siblings outside. He gave his wife a bad reputation and said she was lazy and lazy. He didn't want to see this kind of situation.

After washing the underwear, I put them in the house to dry, and now it's snowing outside and I can't dry them in the sun.

After Fugui helped hang the obscene trousers on a hemp rope in the room, Xu Cao came back to her senses, went into the kitchen with a flushed face, and Fugui hurriedly followed to help.

I cooked white rice porridge in the morning. I was reluctant to eat the white rice I bought last time, and there were still three catties left. Xu Cao took a handful and cooked the porridge.I cut up a plate of pickled sour cabbage a few days ago.When breakfast was ready, Miao Miao staggered in from the outside.The clothes on his body were neatly dressed, and a pair of thick cotton shoes were also worn on his feet.

"Miao Miao is up, come here, come quickly and wash your face, and then let's have dinner." Xu Cao was no longer surprised by Miao Miao's dressing and shoes by herself. Although this child is young, she is sensible.

The family of three ate breakfast, Fu Gui washed the dishes, and was about to go to the town to buy some charcoal and came back. Xu Cao looked at the heavy snow outside and advised, "Don't go, the heavy snow, wait until the snow stops. It is estimated that there will be one or two heavy snowfalls this year."

"No, I'd better go today. Although it's snowing these two days, it's not too big and there's no north wind. Don't be afraid, otherwise after two days, it will be windy and snowy again, and you won't even be able to go out." It's too cold in winter Yes, he has a thick skin and is not afraid of the cold, but his wife and children can't stand it, so he should have bought the carbon back earlier. I was busy with the fields a few days ago, and I haven't taken time to go to town.

Xu Cao thought about it too, if there was a strong wind, it would be too late, so she didn't stop anything, just went to the kitchen to fry a few pancakes, and steamed a piece of wild boar for him to take with him, it was delicious on the way.

Packing pancakes and wild pork, Fugui asked the village to borrow a cow and a cart, and drove towards the town.

Seeing Fugui's figure disappear at the entrance of the village, Xu Cao went back to the house.Heizi and Xiaobai crouched under the eaves guarding the chicken coop.From time to time, Xiaobai stood up and glanced into the chicken coop, and Heizi became much calmer, lying under the eaves, staring at the fluttering snowflakes outside in a daze.

After a while, Mrs. Shen came over to visit with Brother Jun in her arms. The two women were chatting and doing their work, and the two children were thrown directly on the kang for them to play with each other.

Brother Jun has the same temper as Miao Miao, neither is a solid child, Xu Cao sewed a doll for Miao Miao two days ago, and now the two children are playing with the doll on the kang.After a while Miao Miao snatched it, and after a while Jun Geer snatched it, the two children didn't cry, they watched whoever snatched it play, and if they were greedy, they grabbed it by themselves.

Seeing their appearance, Xu Cao and Shen Shi couldn't be happier.

The two were chatting, and Niu's retching sound came from outside again, followed by her delicate voice, "Sir, I feel so uncomfortable, I want to have some enema."

When Xu Cao and Shen Shi in the room heard this, they rolled their eyes helplessly.There is no enema in this place. Xu Cao remembered the enema she had eaten in her previous life, so she was tinkering with it when Fugui and the others were digging trees a few days ago.Made a kind of blood enema and meat enema.The blood enema is a pig blood enema. The pig blood is something that people in the next village killed a pig. Xu Cao went to buy some pig blood and came back. A few catties of pork belly.The wild boar in her family has been dried into bacon and bacon, which is not suitable for making meat enemas.

There is no sausage enema machine here, and she stuffed it in bit by bit. After two days of busy work, she made all the pig intestines into blood enemas and meat enemas.Originally gave Shen a piece of blood enema and meat enema, but Shen didn't like to eat it alone, so he cut it into a small plate, steamed it in a pot, and brought it to the table. They all said it was delicious.But she also knew it was made by Xu Cao, so she didn't have the nerve to ask for it.

Originally, Shen Shi had some left over, but Niu became addicted to eating, and wanted to eat some every few days. He finally finished eating the two pieces of enema for Shen Shi a few days ago, and now he is arguing with his husband to want to eat enema.

Yang Xiaotong was in a dilemma. Originally he wanted to divorce his wife, but seeing that she had changed, he dragged on for a few days and found out that his daughter-in-law was pregnant. Now it is impossible to propose divorce, and he really didn't Going to rest.Now the daughter-in-law wants to eat enema, he is very embarrassed, this thing is figured out by the sister-in-law, maybe it will be sold in the town, if the daughter-in-law wants to eat, he is too embarrassed to ask for it.

Just in trouble, Niu squatted on the ground and retched again, Yang Xiaotong walked towards Xu Cao's room helplessly.
