farmer's husband

Chapter 58 Measurement of half a bottle of water
Once this idea came into being, it immediately took root and sprouted in her heart, and Chun Zhi even began to imagine what the mouthful would taste like.

Is it as soft and glutinous as the glutinous rice balls eaten yesterday, or is it as chewy as the chicken drumsticks eaten during the Chinese New Year?Well, the taste can't be bad anyway.

It's a pity that when she couldn't help smacking her lips, Chai Dong's cool voice pierced through the layers of mist and shattered her beautiful fantasy in one fell swoop: "What are you thinking?"

Chun Zhi woke up suddenly, she quickly shook her head: "It's nothing!"

Chai Dong looked at her quietly, with disbelief clearly written in his eyes.

But how could Harue say such a shameful thought?She quickly lowered her head. "It's getting late, let's go quickly! Find a warm place to sit down and eat something so we can continue our journey."

While talking, she walked forward in a hurry, not daring to look at the tender face in front of her again.

Chai Dong stared coldly at her back, which was obviously exactly the same as absconded, for a while, then opened his mouth, and said softly: "It's getting worse and worse!"

Then, he raised his foot and walked forward slowly.

The two of them were lucky. After walking two or three miles forward, a grass shed appeared in front of them.There was curling smoke from the door of the shed, and the smell of food could be heard from afar.

Chunzhi and Chaidong walked for a whole morning, and they were very hungry.Now smelling the fragrance, both of their stomachs couldn't help but growl.

Chai Dong was even more embarrassing, when he heard the voice coming from his stomach, his ears turned red immediately, and he stood there motionless.

Chunzhi couldn't help smiling when he saw it, and stuffed his baggage into his hands. "You find a place to sit first, take out the dry food, and I'll ask the shop owner for a bowl of water."

Chai Dong nodded, and went to find a place to sit.Chun Zhi cheekily went to the door of the thatched shed, and found out that the husband and wife were running the business here.Seeing her coming, the proprietress hurriedly greeted Chun Zhi, and Chun Zhi smiled at her: "Sister, my husband and I passed by here on our way and wanted to ask you for a bowl of hot water, please show your mercy and let us go." convenient."

"Okay!" The proprietress readily agreed, and took two rough porcelain bowls to pour water for her.While pouring water, she asked Chun Zhi, "You young couple are going to visit relatives in the county?"

"No, my husband-in-law is going to take the entrance examination for children, and I will accompany him there...I also have something to do in the county town." Chun Zhi said in a low voice.

"Oh, so that's the case! I think you two are not very old, so you should have never traveled far, right? You have worked hard on this journey!" The proprietress said, and the water was already poured and handed over.

Chun Zhi was very grateful, thanked her repeatedly, and came back with two bowls of hot water.

Chai Dong has also found a place to rest.He spread a coarse cloth under a tree, took out two pancakes prepared by Mrs. Wang, and sat down by himself.

Chun Zhi came over and sat down across from him, the two of them each got a bowl of water, and took bites of the already cold pancakes.

It seems that Mrs. Wang already knew that Chai Dong would not enjoy the good things to herself, so the pancakes she made this time were all the same.It's just that their family conditions are limited. Although these pancakes are made of flour, they are only the cheapest white flour. If they are just out of the pan, they are soft and fresh, and they are easy to eat.But after leaving it overnight, the noodle pancakes are now cold and hard.After a few bites, my cheeks hurt.

Fortunately, there is a bowl of hot water at hand.After eating two mouthfuls of pancakes and drinking a sip of water, the pancakes in my mouth are softened by the water, making it easier to swallow.

But for Chun Zhi, she would be grateful if she had something to eat, and of course she would not be overly picky.She grabbed some more noodles and soaked them in a bowl and fed them to the third son, who also ate happily.Chai Dong is not too picky, the young couple ate and drank together, although they didn't speak, the atmosphere was quite warm.

Just when they were halfway through eating, a convoy from behind slowly walked towards this side.In front of him was a man who looked like a butler, riding on a tall horse, with an air of aloofness.There were several carriages behind him, and there were six or seven carriages pulling salutes behind the carriages, plus the maids and servants in front of and behind the carriages, there were at least 20 people.

Such a mighty convoy is very eye-catching in their small place.Chun Zhi couldn't help but put down the pancakes in hand and looked over there.

As the carriage got closer and closer, she found that the carriage in front was really beautiful. Even the curtain hanging in front was embroidered with a branch of spring plum. The embroidery was no worse than Mrs. Wang's craftsmanship. !

Moreover, this is the first time she has seen such a complicated embroidery method and such a long plum blossom!Chunzhi stood up unknowingly, wanting to get closer and get a better look.

But who knows, when the carriage came in front of her, the driver suddenly whipped his whip: "Fold!"

The horse pulling the cart was in pain, and immediately raised its hoof, pulling the cart and galloping forward.

The horse's hooves and wheels raised a huge cloud of smoke and dust, heading straight for Chun Zhi's face.

Fortunately, Chai Dong reacted quickly and pulled her back, so that she didn't get blown in the face by the smoke.However, there was still some dust on Chun Zhi's body.

Seeing this, Little Sanzi quickly jumped over, stretched its neck and screamed at the carriage.

"Little Sanzi, forget it!" Chun Zhi quickly picked it up, "We can't afford to offend them now, let's forget it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard another chuckle from the side—it was another carriage passing by them.

At this time, a gust of wind blew up, lifting the gauze curtain on the car window, revealing half of her beautiful face, and a corner of snow-white fur.

Chun Zhi's body froze immediately, and she fixed her eyes on the people in the carriage.

The man didn't even look at her, he asked the servant girl to put down the curtain, and walked forward.

"It turned out to be them." Chai Dong also saw the people in the car, he came over and pulled Chun Zhi back, "That's the way people with half a bottle of water, don't be as knowledgeable as them."

Chunzhi lowered his eyes. "How can I have the right to meet them?"

Chai Dong seemed to want to say something, but seeing the loneliness on her face, he still kept his mouth shut, just pressed her back and sat down.

But the smoke and dust splashed just now, and their bread and water bowls were covered with a layer of dust.It's easy to talk about the noodles, just blow and blow, but what about the water bowl?A good bowl of water was ruined just like that!Chunzhi felt distressed for a while.

The proprietress of the small shop over there saw it, and she quickly waved to Chunzhi: "Little lady, pour out the water in the bowl, and I'll pour you two clean bowls."

"Hey, good!" Chun Zhi quickly agreed, poured out all the water in the bowl, and went to fetch the water with an empty bowl.

The proprietress poured her two bowls of clean water, and she did not forget to persuade her: "Those rich and noble families never take us poor people seriously. In their eyes, we are just like cats and dogs. They can hold it in the palm of their hand and play with it casually. There is no way to do it, who told them to be better than us? When you see these people in the future, you just need to stay away."

"I see, thank you." Chun Zhi thanked directly.

This time when they brought the water back, she and Chai Dong didn't dare to delay any longer, so they quickly ate the cake, drank the water in the bowl clean, and returned the bowl to the proprietress, and the young couple continued to carry their burdens. Hurry up.

It's just that for the next half a day, and even when he went to a family's house to spend the night, Chai Dong still had a sullen face and a very unhappy look.

Harue almost guessed his knot.In the dead of night, she asked him in a low voice, "Are you angry because of that incident during the day?"

Chai Dong nodded. "The surname Zhuang bullies people too much! What they have done is too insulting!"

Hey, isn't that how their family started?Anyway, as long as it is for the good of their own family, they don't take other people seriously.So now that such a thing happened again, Harue was not surprised at all.

However, she didn't expect that she had already let go, but Chai Dong was still brooding over it. She even thought that she hadn't had a few bites of food at night, and she still couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

"I'm fine. Don't think about it too much, go to sleep now! Get enough energy and go on your way tomorrow morning. We should put all our energy on the exam right now. We'll talk about other things later." She said softly appease him.

Chai Dong raised his head and stared at her.

Chunzhi felt uncomfortable for a while after being watched.

"What are you looking at me for?" She lowered her head and asked in a low voice.

"In the future, I will never allow you to be insulted like this again. As for the things that the surname Zhuang did... At that time, I will definitely retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye!" said.
