Peasant woman

Chapter 36

"Ouch, ouch, mother, don't pull it, it hurts like hell."

Mrs. Ma took the two bastard sons and walked away, followed by the hunched uncle Chen Sheng. After everyone left, only Mrs. Li, Qiaoer, and Mrs. Shen were left here to help, and Mrs. Fugui sent someone out.

Seeing that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Shen didn't pay attention to them, Qiao'er hurriedly dragged Xu Cao into the yard, and whispered in her ear: "Cao'er, what your uncle said just now is not true? If your mother really I reckon you are the one who suffers the most from putting your cousin into her son's mind. Now that you are living a good life with Fugui, then your cousin must have something in mind, so be careful."

Qiaoer's tone was very anxious. The two of them were friends since childhood. In this village, apart from his family, Qiaoer was the closest person to Xu Cao.

Seeing the beads of sweat coming out of Qiaoer's anxious nose, Xu Cao burst out laughing, "Why are you in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry. Don't worry, nothing will happen." What is wealth like? People, she knows best after getting along with her for several months.

Qiao'er blushed anxiously, and stomped her feet, "Why are you still so slow-tempered? I'm worried for you. I wanted to come to Fugui to bring up a child, and he was still old. I was afraid that you would suffer if you married him. Bullying, I am also happy to see you getting better now. But now that Lao Shizi’s cousin lived in your house for a month or two a few days ago, your mother has such thoughts again, why don’t you say that? Urgent."

Xu Cao couldn't help laughing, and said sternly: "Okay, I've remembered everything, I will tell Fugui when he comes back, and let him stay away from that cousin!"

Qiao'er nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's it. Men are stupid, and you have to remind them, otherwise you will really let that cousin get away with it. You can't cry to death."

"Girl, why don't you hurry up and help me, there's such a big pile of things waiting to be washed." Li yelled in the kitchen.

Xu Cao and Qiaoer ran out in a hurry.It was already four quarters after everything was cleaned.The woman's table has almost finished eating the dishes for guests at noon, and the man's two tables have a lot left because of drinking. Naturally, Xu Cao and Fu Guizi can't finish so many dishes, so let Li Shi, Shen Shi, and Qiao Er pack it up I took more than half of the dishes and went back.

Fugui was packing up the tables, chairs and boxes in the room, and Xu Cao also went in to help after finishing her work.

Facing the south are two main rooms, Xu Cao and Fugui live in one, and the remaining one is used as the main hall, two rooms to the east, a kitchen, and a room for storing sundries.Two wing rooms to the west.The front and back yards are also large, clean and spacious.

Seeing Miao Miao sitting on the kang that had just been cleaned up and glaring at Xu Cao, Fu Gui blushed and said, "Daughter-in-law, do you think Miao Miao is getting too big, should she sleep alone?"

Xu Cao looked at him with a smile, and said, "If Miao Miao doesn't cry, she can sleep alone." How could she not know what Xianggong was thinking, but there was nothing wrong with his thinking, Miao Miao also It is impossible to sleep with them all the time when they are older.

After working for another hour, everything was tidied up. The two pheasants were moved to the chicken coop in the backyard, and the two wild rabbits also had a special nest. The thatched grass means that there is nothing in the pigsty.After a few days, Xu Cao went to the town to buy two piglets to raise.

The few grape stalks were planted by Xu Cao in the field on the top of the hill. Six plants were planted, and three survived.After a while, it can be transplanted into the yard.

Seeing that everything was packed properly, Xu Cao heated up the steamed buns and leftovers from lunch, and the three of them went to bed early after dinner.

Seeing Miao Miao who was sitting on the kang and rubbing his eyes, Fugui glanced at Xu Cao who was washing his feet, and hurriedly turned his head and hugged the little guy in his arms, "Miao Miao, can Daddy discuss something with you?"

Miao Miao rubbed her eyes, raised her head, and looked at Fu Gui with sleepy eyes, "Daddy, tell me."

Fugui grinned, "Miao Miao, you are three years old this year, shouldn't you sleep with your parents? Miao Miao, please go to your own room to sleep, okay?"

Miao Miao stared at Fu Gui for a long time, rubbed her eyes again, and asked in puzzlement, "Why can't I sleep with my parents? Miao Miao wants to sleep with my mother." The little guy can speak clearly now.

Xu Cao suppressed a smile and didn't look over there.

"This..." Fu Gui became a little anxious, and looked towards Xu Cao frequently, "Miao Miao, you heard from your father that you are going to sleep in your own room. Whatever Miao Miao wants, can your father agree to it?"

Miao Miao thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Then Miao Miao wants to sleep with mother, let mother sleep in the same room as Miao Miao."

Wealth is stupid, "."

Xu Cao hurriedly wiped her feet, poured water into the yard outside, turned around and went back to the room, got on the kang, hugged Miao Miao in her arms, and said with a smile: "Miao Miao, what Daddy means is that Miao Miao grows up. When he grows up and is sensible, the older child will sleep alone, and the child who sleeps with his parents will feel ashamed."

Miao Miao thought for a while, then nodded thoughtfully, hugged Xu Cao and kissed her on the forehead, "Mother, Miao Miao knows, Miao Miao has grown up, the older children should sleep alone, right?" ?”

"Yes, Miao Miao is the smartest and the most obedient."

After being praised, Miao Miao nodded with a smile on her face, "Then Miao Miao will sleep well by herself."

Sending Miao Miao to sleep in the west wing, covering the little guy with a quilt, Xu Cao said: "Miao Miao, that mother has gone to sleep, will you be afraid by yourself?"

Miao Miao rubbed her eyes, which couldn't even be opened, "Well, my mother is sleepy..."

Xu Cao then left the West Wing and went back to bed.Fu Gui was sitting cross-legged on the kang and waiting for Xu Cao, when he saw her come in, he grinned at her, "Daughter-in-law, you are really amazing."

"I brought up the Erya and Sanya hills in my family, so I can coax Miaomiao well. Well, I've been tired all day, so let's take a rest quickly."

"Okay, daughter-in-law, come up and have a rest."

A little worried about Miaomiao, Xu Cao and Fugui woke up to look at it once in the middle of the night, but fortunately the child was sleeping obediently.

Probably because I got up in the middle of the night to take a trip, and it was already Chen Shi when Xu Cao got up.She hurriedly got up from the kang, Miao Miao was far away in the yard, beside Heizi and Xiaobai lying on her stomach.Seeing Xu Cao, Xiao Bai ran over, wagging his tail, circled her twice, and then ran away.

Fugui also came in from the outside with two buckets of water, carried the water into the kitchen, unloaded the pole, and said to Xu Cao: "Daughter-in-law, we don't have a well now, let's just make do with it, I fetch a few buckets of water from the river every day Enough."

"Okay, excuse me, sir."

Xu Cao went into the kitchen to make breakfast, and the family of three ate breakfast, and Fu Gui was busy hunting on the hills.After Fugui and Heizi left, Xu Cao closed the courtyard door, took the clothes she changed yesterday, and took Miao Miao to the river to wash clothes.

There is Xiaobai at home, and the courtyard walls are high, so there is no need for anyone to guard the door.

Qiao'er, Shen's, and Li's are all by the river.Now because of Xu Cao's relationship, Qiao'er and Shen Shi are also walking very close. When they saw Xu Cao, they waved at her hurriedly, and Qiao'er shouted: "Cao'er, over here, come quickly."

Xu Cao smiled and pulled Miao Miao to the side of the two, squatted down, spread the clothes on the stone, sprinkled water and beat them.

Miao Miao squatted down beside Xu Cao and looked at them enviously. Xu Cao saw them and said with a smile, "Miao Miao, do you want to play with your brothers and sisters?" ? If you want to go, go, but you can't go far, or mother will worry."

"En." Miao Miao happily ran over.

Mrs. Li, who was washing clothes next to her, heard her daughter call her mother, and glanced at her, but said nothing.I guess I'm overthinking it, thinking that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, maybe it's because the daughter is kind to the child, and wealth is kind to her daughter.Now my daughter's life is better, and the child's meal is not bad.

Xu Cao was washing clothes while chatting with Qiaoer Shen.Suddenly there was Miao Miao's cry from the other end, Xu Cao hurriedly ran over when she heard the voice, and found Miao Miao was rubbing her eyes and crying loudly.Shi Shi stood in front of Miao Miao with a bamboo basket on his back, glared at the six or seven-year-old children in front of him, and said angrily, "Are you itchy? I'll stand up, or I'll beat them all up together later."

A six or seven-year-old child was unconvinced, pointing to Miao Miao behind the stone and said, "She has no mother in the first place, and her mother ran away long ago. Everyone in our village knows about it."

Hearing this, Xu Cao hurriedly ran over, picked up Miao Miao, and said angrily: "Little donkey, who told you to talk nonsense? Who said that Miao Miao has no mother? Am I Miao Miao's mother? You If you talk nonsense and bully Miaomiao, be careful and I will beat you."

The kid named Little Donkey said stubbornly: "Who is afraid of you, you are not Miao Miao's real mother."

"You brat..." Before Xu Cao could say anything, the stone on the side had already rushed in the morning, relying on its small size and agility, it slapped down on the little donkey's ass.

The little donkey started howling and crying. The little donkey's mother was also from Zhanghe Village. Hearing her son's cry, she ran over in a hurry and saw Shi Shi chasing his child. Shitou chased after him, "Shitou, you brat, how dare you bully my boy, are you tired of work, I won't beat you to death today."

Hearing the sound, Stone turned his head and rushed past the little donkey's mother, grinning, and ran away.

The little donkey was also at fault, and the donkey mother couldn't blame Xu Cao, so she dragged her own boy to the river, "You poor boy, you can't stay by my mother's side well, you have to join in the fun, that kid He's thinner than you, but you can't beat him, what a shame."

When the little donkey heard this, he stopped crying and wiped away his tears, secretly thinking that he must hit that stinky stone next time.

Xu Cao also took Miao Miao back to the river to continue washing clothes. The little guy was small, so he stopped crying when he cried.

After washing the clothes, Xu Cao carried the wooden basin and Miao Miao went back behind her.

After drying the clothes, Xu Cao carried the hoe and the basket, and took Miao Miao to the field.The vegetables grown in the field include cabbage, leeks, water spinach, and leeks.Xu Cao cut a row of leeks and put them in the bamboo basket, and found some wild vegetables nearby, and prepared to go back and chop them for the two pheasants.Asking Miao Miao to help take care of the basket by the side of the field, Xu Cao started weeding the weeds in the field, and finally finished after a busy morning.Seeing Miao Miao, she fell asleep next to her.

After returning home, he chopped wild vegetables and threw them to two pheasants to eat. The hen was hatching chicks now. Xu Cao didn't take back the eggs laid by the hen a few days ago, and let the hen hatch the chicks by itself.As soon as he walked to the door of the chicken coop, Xu Cao saw three chicks squatting next to the hen. The chicks were still unable to stand up, and they were all wet.The hen is still squatting on the nest and continuing to hatch eggs.

She froze for a moment, counting the days, the chicks were about to hatch.Seeing the hatched chicks, Xu Cao was very excited, she took Miao Miao and ran over to have a look, and the couple squatted at the door of the chicken coop to watch the chicks for half an hour.

It wasn't until Miao Miao said that she was hungry that Xu Cao fried the unfertilized/fertilized eggs with leeks a few days ago, then kneaded the noodles and fried the leek box and Miao Miao ate one by one.
