Chapter 160 Rolling Down the Mountain

As a result, standing outside the door were Lin Xiu, who got up early and went up the mountain, and Xiaolong, who was smiling and opened his arms for Cheng Xia to hug.

Cheng Xia lost her temper, and took Xiaolong dumbfounded and carried him back to the room, leaving Lin Xiu to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables by herself.

Seeing Cheng Xia yawning sleepily, Xiaolong shunned Cheng Xia's back considerately, "Did Xiaolong bother Madam?"

Hearing the child's apologetic and careful words, Cheng Xia suddenly felt uncomfortable. The child was too sensitive and careful, so careful that it made her feel distressed.

Cheng Xia hugged Xiaolong and sat on the stool by the window watching the shadows of the trees outside, pointing to the swaying leaves blown by the wind and asked him, "Did Xiaolong sleep well last night?" The thick dark circles under the child's eyes were obvious .

Xiaolong patted his little mouth in embarrassment, "Last night my father and aunt quarreled, and aunt and grandpa also quarreled, and finally they stopped arguing very late, and Xiaolong didn't fall asleep all the time. Xiaolong went up the mountain, and Xiaolong was also very sleepy."

After hearing this, Cheng Xia put Xiaolong in her arms and shook gently, "Okay, auntie understands, Xiaolong should sleep for a while now."

On the contrary, the little guy suddenly became energetic, lying in Cheng Xia's arms and began to mutter, "Ma'am, my aunt had a fierce fight last night."

"Well, what's the fuss?" Cheng Xia asked casually, and she was also sleepy with tears in her eyes.

"My aunt seems to be upset that grandpa wants to take all the money away, saying that grandpa promised her to give her part of the dowry, but he refused to give her, so aunt is upset." Xiaolong yawned a lot, and then he said.

dowry?Cheng Xia understood a little bit, maybe in the past, there was some kind of deal between Yang Lihua and Yang Lihua. Yang Lihua helped Yang Lihua achieve something, and Yang Lihua promised Yang Lihua a dowry as a bait, but in the end the money went to Yang Lihua But he didn't give it to Yang Lihua, so Yang Lihua lost his temper.

"Then why are your aunt and your father arguing?" Cheng Xia asked again.

Xiaolong nodded in sleepiness, but subconsciously said, "Father said that my aunt is cheap and used money to support wild men, which made my aunt cry."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it," Cheng Xia frowned when he heard Xiaolong's words, Yang Erlang really didn't care about anything, and said "cheap" and "wild man" in front of the child, I am not afraid that the child will fail in learning, "Xiaolong go to bed quickly, no one will disturb Xiaolong's rest anymore."

Cheng Xia coaxed Xiaolong to sleep, and then she fell on the bed and went back to sleep.

Yang Dalang reheated the food in the morning, but he didn't see Cheng Xia and Xiaolong getting up, and seeing the two sleeping sprawled, he could only shake his head helplessly.

But in the next few days, Yang Dalang shook his head every day, because Xiaolong hadn't left, so he lived in the bamboo house halfway up the mountain.

Lin Xiu couldn't pick it up, and Chen couldn't pick it up when he came. Xiaolong just lay in Cheng Xia's arms, and no one said it would work.Seeing Yang Dalang scratching his head anxiously, Cheng Xia admired his decision even more.

She could also see that this Yang Dalang was not in the right mind, he always touches himself intentionally or unintentionally for an 'accidental' contact, and he always tries to send Xiaolong away.Cheng Xia was afraid that Xiaolong would really leave, and Yang Dalang started to think about it, so he told Xiaolong directly to let him stay with him, and Yang Dalang's angry heart was full of blood, and he couldn't get up or down.

Yang Dalang has been looking forward to Du Zhong's arrival, but the more you need him, the more he disappears.Just when Yang Dalang couldn't wait to give Du Zhong an ultimatum, this buddy appeared at the door of Zhushe with a wicked smile.

Cheng Xia was looking forward to Du Zhong’s appearance more than Yang Dalang. She always felt embarrassed that she couldn’t treat Du Zhong to a meal on the day of moving, so she had been planning to make up a big meal for Du Zhong. Now, after a few days, he finally appeared. That would be great.

Cheng Xia told Yang Dalang to help take care of Xiaolong, and then went up the mountain with a bucket.

Cheng Xia also asked Yang Dalang about it. Eucommia likes to eat fish, so Cheng Xia planned to make a whole fish feast. Anyway, the last time I went to the county, Aunt Han insisted on giving Cheng Xia a few bottles of tomato sauce made by herself. Cheng Xia tried it. The taste is still good, just right for making sweet and sour fish.

Detoured up the mountain in another direction, and after walking a short distance, I saw the withered rose bush.Now it's July, and the roses have completely withered, only the stems of the roses are left, which looks a bit dilapidated, and Cheng Xia suddenly feels a sense of desolation of "there are flowers that can be folded straight". Come.

Seeing no one around, Cheng Xia jumped into the rose bushes. The peppers in the forbidden area of ​​death had already grown well. Every time Cheng Xia came in, she felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. , looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, she is the only one, and it is exciting to think about it.

Cheng Xia went into the green chili field and observed it carefully. Finally, he sighed. The chili seeds given by the Ph. .

The last time Cheng Xia looked at it, the pepper was only the size of a little finger, but today it looked like a mature green pepper, ready to eat.

But Cheng Xia didn't plan to make chili to eat today, she was afraid that Yang Dalang and Du Zhong would not be able to accept it.The last time when the chili peppers were still young, Cheng Xia was not afraid of death and picked one and put it in her mouth to taste. Then she didn't care about the others because it was so hot, she ran all the way back to her house halfway up the mountain to find water to drink, and only after drinking half a scoop of water did she slightly Pressed.Cheng Xia tried it herself. This chili is hotter than modern ones, and it is more than ten times hotter.She was afraid that Yang Dalang and Du Zhong, who had never eaten spicy food, would be incapable of accepting it, so she decided to let them get used to it a little bit.

Satisfied, Cheng Xia left the pepper field and started fishing for fish by the lake. Since he wanted to reward Eucommia well, Cheng Xia decided to make more fish dishes to eat, since it doesn’t cost money anyway.

If Cheng Xia knew what Du Zhong was doing at this moment, she would definitely give up the idea of ​​rewarding him, because she would want to kill Du Zhong to vent her anger.

After Du Zhong listened to his good brother Yang Dalang's appeal about sleeping, he sneaked over Xiaolong, who was entertaining himself in the yard, and coaxed him slowly, "Xiaolong, don't you feel lonely when you play by yourself? "

Xiaolong didn't know what the strange uncle meant, but he still nodded, "So does uncle want to accompany me?"

"No, no, no," Du Zhong quickly refused, "I don't have time to accompany you, but I can find someone to accompany you."

"Who is it?" Xiaolong cheered excitedly, he was always the only one playing, it was boring.

Du Zhong ambiguously pointed to Yang Dalang who was staring at them in the room. Xiaolong looked at them and shook his head with his lips curled up, "No, my uncle won't play with me."

"You little idiot!" Du Zhong flicked Xiaolong's forehead angrily, "Who told you to let your uncle play with you? I mean, let your uncle and aunt have a younger brother and sister to play with you. Now you are the big brother, very majestic."

"Really?" Xiaolong tilted his head and asked suspiciously, "But that kid at home is very fierce, always robbing me of things."

Du Zhong was taken aback, and after thinking about it, he realized that Xiaolong was referring to Cuihua's child. He thought that this child was thinking a lot, but continued to coax him patiently, "Xiaolong, your aunt and uncle's children are not like that child. They will all call you big brother, and you will be the boss at that time, and if you tell them to go east, they will not dare to go south."

"Really?" Xiaolong's big eyes were as big as copper bells, and his voice changed in excitement, "What about younger brothers and sisters?"

"Not yet," Du Zhong looked at Yang Dalang with a pitiful face. It has been three months since he couldn't figure out his daughter-in-law, and finally he had to let himself out. It's really pitiful, "Little brother and little sister are still with you." It's in the aunt's stomach."

"Then how do you let the younger brothers and sisters come out?" Xiaolong was completely brought in by Du Zhong.

"If you go back to your own home to sleep at night, your younger siblings will come to accompany you soon. If you are here all the time, how can your uncle have time to let your aunt give birth to younger siblings?" Du Zhong said very sadly, sadly He even believed it himself.

But Xiaolong obviously believed it, and Xiaolong was entangled for only a moment, so he pulled Du Zhong's sleeve to go down the mountain, "Then uncle, please take me home, when I come back next time, I will have younger brothers and sisters to play with me."

While being dragged down the mountain by Xiaolong, Du Zhong turned his head and gestured proudly to Yang Dalang that he was done. If Yang Dalang couldn't figure it out, Du Zhong could solve it in a few words.

If not that he can win the hearts of the girls in the brothel, after all, he has experience.

When Cheng Xia came back, she saw the smiling Yang Dalang who was full of joy. She stared at him suspiciously for a while, then carefully probed his forehead, thinking that it was all right, why did she appear to be insane .

Yang Dalang tried his best to get himself back to normal. When Cheng Xia asked Du Zhong where he had gone, he only said that Xiaolong missed Lin Xiu and asked Du Zhong to send him home.

Cheng Xia didn't doubt it either, it's normal for her child to be inseparable from her own mother, so she didn't say anything, just went to the next kitchen with a bucket full of fish.

Yang Dalang built four houses on the mountainside, one bedroom and the other for storing groceries, next to the bedroom is the kitchen, and behind the bedroom is the toilet. The toilet is also covered with bamboo.

Cheng Xia carried the bucket to the kitchen, two carp, one silver carp, one crucian carp, one grass carp, a total of five big fish, Cheng Xia decided to treat them all to Eucommia.After thinking about how to use these ingredients carefully for a while, and weighing how to make them delicious, I finally decided on the recipe: five-spice grass fish, braised fish with pickled cabbage, steamed crucian carp with eggs, shredded carp and radish soup, stewed fish with apples, and Yang Dalang’s favorite staple food The ice flower water fried buns that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside will save him from saying that he has treated him badly.

Happy to be sure, Cheng Xia started to deal with these fish, five big fish, it will take a lot of effort just to deal with them.

Fortunately, Cheng Xia enjoyed the cooking process very much, and while humming a modern ditty, he disemboweled the fish and cleaned them up.

Suddenly, Cheng Xia, who was holding the knife in the kitchen, was stunned by a bang. She looked out suspiciously, but saw no other movement, so she thought it was a prank by Du Zhong and didn't take it to heart.

But the quietness was too weird, which actually made Cheng Xia a little suspicious. She carefully opened the door with a knife in both hands, and saw an unknown creature lying down not far from the kitchen at a glance, and couldn't help screaming.

Yang Dalang, who was reading a book in the room, ran out instantly, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Xia tremblingly pointed at the person who was lying on the ground with his back to her, and said in a trembling voice, "This is a person who rolled down the mountain."
