farmer's husband

Chapter 19 The Fried Puppy

After quietly explaining about Chun Zhi, Mrs. Wang turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Chai Dong.

But last night a big hole was burnt out on the roof of the kitchen, and with another night of snow, the snow in the kitchen was only a little thinner than that in the yard.

The straw piles were all burned, and the other firewood was covered with snow, and most of them were already soaked.

Chunzhi and Wang scrambled in the snowdrift for a long time, until their hands were shaking red, and finally they dug out a small bundle of dry firewood from the bottom.

After cleaning out a small pot, a few rough porcelain bowls, a few pairs of chopsticks, and things like spatulas and pans, the two of them moved everything into Wang's house together.

Wang's house is much smaller than Chai Dong's.There is only a bed in it, and the table is full of silk threads and the like, and the remaining space is not even enough for people to move around.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were collecting and picking inside again, and finally made room for some space. They simply built a stove with wooden sticks and put the pot on the shelf.

There was still half a tank of water in the water tank, Chun Zhi scooped up half of the bucket, and poured half of the pot into the pot.Mrs. Wang has already grabbed a few handfuls of flour from the flour bag, mixed it with water and kneaded it well.At this time, the water in the pot boiled, and Wang squeezed the kneaded noodles into small lumps and put them in. When the noodles were almost cooked, she grabbed a handful of vegetables and threw them in, and added some coarse salt. Finally, a drop of oil was poured from the oil pot into the pot.

Stir it lightly with a spatula, and a strong fragrance will come to your face, filling the whole room.

The glutton in Chunzhi's stomach began to crawl out and scream.Even Xiao Sanzi couldn't help leaning towards the pot, and meowed at Wang Shi who was in charge of the spoon.

At this time, Chai Dong finally came in awkwardly.His face was no longer red and purple, and he didn't look as nervous as before.It's just that from the moment he entered the door, he didn't even look at Chun Zhi, at most he only showed her a profile.

With sharp eyes, Chunzhi noticed that both his ears were pink and tender, crystal clear and cute, just like the little pink paws of the third son, which made her feel itchy to see, and wanted to touch it.

But now she can only think about it.

Rabbit needs people when he is in a hurry, not to mention Chai Dong, who has a bad temper in the first place?Now he is like a little milk dog who is trying to calm down, but in fact, he doesn't know how angry he is in his stomach!As long as she dares to touch him, he will definitely explode!
In addition, there is Wang Shi, the mother who stands beside her son unconditionally and unprincipled, she alone can't beat the two of them.

Therefore, Chun Zhi just quietly glanced at his red ears, then lowered his head and extinguished the fire under the pot.

After the fire was extinguished, Mrs. Wang picked up a bowl, scooped up half of the bowl of pimple soup, and handed it to Chaidong. "Son, the kitchen can't be used today, and mother can't make you bread and buns, so you can make do with this!"

"Yes." Chai Dong nodded coldly, took the bowl and went out.

Mrs. Wang picked up another bowl, but the spoon in her hand rested on the pot for a long time, then slowly lifted it up, scooped a small spoon into the pot, and poured it out like half a bowl!
Then Wang gritted her teeth and handed the bowl to Chun Zhi with a flesh-cutting expression on her face. "Take it and eat it, it's cheap for you!"

She actually has a share of this soup?

Chun Zhi's mood suddenly jumped for joy.

If there is something delicious, she will not be polite to Mrs. Wang, so she quickly took the bowl with both hands: "Thank you, mother!"

Then he took a pair of chopsticks, turned around and found a place to sit down and eat.

However, she picked up a piece of gnocchi first, but she didn't put it in her mouth. Instead, she called out to Xiao Sanzi and threw the gnocchi on the ground: "You also have a toothbrush today!"

The third son immediately jumped over, and began to lick it in small mouthfuls.

Seeing that it was eating happily, Chunzhi was also in a good mood, so he took another bite from the rim of the bowl.

The rich aroma immediately penetrated into the mouth, and an indescribably sweet feeling spread from the throat to the whole body along the swallowed food, and Chun Zhi closed his eyes in enjoyment.

It turns out that this is the taste of white flour!Moreover, there is a special taste in this pimple soup, as if the fragrance of white flour has been magnified by at least ten times, so it should be the result of using oil, right?

Her natal family was poor, and she could not eat a few drops of oil all year round.During the Chinese New Year, her mother would put one or two pieces of fat meat into the dishes, but this fat meat also needs to be cooked in many dishes.The taste of the oil is diluted, in fact, it can only give people a rough taste, and it must not be enjoyable.

But now, Mrs. Wang has put a few drops of oil into the small pot of gnocchi!
This rich fragrance was simply the first time Chunzhi felt it after living for so many years.After eating a mouthful of gnocchi, she immediately felt warm all over her body, and the glutton in her stomach screamed louder, and she felt even hungrier.

Those big families eat delicacies from mountains and seas, so they should feel similar to me now!she thought to herself.

Meow meow meow

The little Sanzi at her feet had finished licking her lump of gnocchi.The little guy also tasted the sweetness, and hurriedly yelled at Chun Zhi again.

Chun Zhi quickly regained consciousness, and planned to pick out a piece for it to eat.

Mrs. Wang said angrily: "This is for you, you can eat it yourself, or do you think I have served you too much and you can't finish it or something? I said I kept the cat. Then our family will definitely keep it, and of course I will do its part in cooking!"

As she spoke, she picked up a broken tile in the corner of the room, and poured some pimple soup into it. "Little thing, come and eat!"

The little third son couldn't bear the smell, so he immediately ran over with a meow, bowed his head and started to eat with big mouthfuls.

The kitten's food was settled, and Chunzhi was relieved, so he picked up the bowl and began to concentrate on enjoying his breakfast.

It was the first time she had eaten such pure white noodles, so Chun Zhi ate it very cautiously.She sent it to her mouth in small mouthfuls, chewed every mouthful, and tasted enough with her tongue before she was willing to swallow it.She wanted to try her best to enjoy this hard-won delicacy.After all, God knows when she will be able to eat such a good thing next time?
However, there was only half a bowl of noodles in her bowl, and she ate slowly, and the bowl slowly bottomed out.

The little third son over there ate up all the pimple soup in the bowl, and even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.Harue is actually pretty much the same.She shaved all the noodles in the bowl, if she wasn't afraid of being laughed at by Mrs. Wang, she almost wanted to lick her tongue.But after thinking about it, she still gave up in distress.

Mrs. Wang also filled half a bowl of pimple soup for herself and ate it.

She and Chun Zhi finished eating.Then Chai Dong also came from the next room and handed them the empty bowl in his hand.

"It's snowing today, the private school doesn't start classes, I'm reading at home today." He left this sentence coldly, and he ran away without a trace.

"Okay, okay, it's snowing so hard, and Mom won't let you go out to suffer the cold! You can just read at home, it's good!" Mrs. Wang nodded quickly, and took out a small tin stove from under the bed and handed it to Chun Zhi, "Take Pick a few pieces of charcoal from below and put them in, and then send them to my son. After the sun comes out, the snow will start to melt, so don’t freeze my son!"

Chun Zhi raised her head and wanted to say something, but seeing Wang's attitude of caring for her precious son, she still gave up.

Obediently bowing her head, she picked out a few lumps of coarse charcoal from the fire that had been burnt just now, and put them in the tin stove, then she carried her things into the room over there.

When she came in, Chai Dong had already sat down at the table.He was holding a book in his hand, his eyes fell on the book, his face was very calm, and the tips of his pink and tender ears had already faded. It is conceivable that he has completely come out of the embarrassment just now.

Oh, what a pity!It's more fun for him to still look like the fried fur puppy just now, and it will make her feel closer.

Chun Zhi didn't dare to disturb his study, so he quickly put the small tin stove under his feet, and then quietly backed out.

But both feet retreated outside the door, but she was still reluctant to let go of the hand holding the door frame.

She couldn't help but glanced at the young man who was studying hard under the window. His back was straight, like a green bamboo that could not be broken by the snow.With the book as a companion, he exudes a very comfortable and peaceful smell, which makes Chun Zhi's heart inexplicably hot.

Well, although this little guy is not big and has a thin figure, but looking at it like this now, he is actually quite eye-catching, much more pleasing to the eye than the scholars she saw on the stage!

It's a pity, no matter how pleasing to the eye, he can't carry water or go to the ground with his small body, and he can't confront people even when local hooligans come to him.At a critical juncture, only this woman, Mrs. Wang, can be allowed to come forward.

He shouldn't have been born in a farm family.

Thinking about it, Chun Zhi secretly shook his head and sighed, then turned around and left slowly.

Hearing the creaking footsteps walking away, Chai Dong who had been reading a book slowly raised his head and let out a long breath.

"What are you looking at, what's so good about it?" He was whispering to himself, "A woman stares at men all day long, and she watches them over and over again, don't be ashamed!"

The sound passed through the half-open window, was wrapped in the melted snow, and then fell to the ground with a tick-tock sound, smashing a small round hole in the thick snow.

Of course Harue didn't hear what he said.

After delivering the stove to him, Chun Zhi went back to Wang's side.Mrs. Wang had already cleaned up all the pots and pans, then she wiped her hands, put her hands on her hips, and announced to Chun Zhi loudly, "We've had enough food and drink, let's go now!"

go?
"Where are you going?" Chun Zhi was taken aback.

Wang gave her a blank look. "Of course I'm going to find Wang Laojiu and settle accounts with him!"

Ah, really go?

Chun Zhi's heart skipped a beat, another bad premonition hit him.
