Chapter 20 The Weird Xiu Niang

Mrs. Liu returned home with the washed clothes in the basin, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Ji Laoliu sitting in the middle of the room wearing a gown, holding tobacco leaves with a cigarette stick.

She asked strangely, "Hey, why are you at home? Didn't you say that you and Chugo will run to town again today?"

Ji Laoliu gasped, "Hey, I just got in the car and walked for a while, and my waist is weak again. Chu Geyuan pulled me back and went by myself."

Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, put down the tub, "Where are the boys?"

Seeing that Mrs. Liu didn't respond, Ji Lao Liu supported him, "The siblings, whoops, I just said that I went looking for firewood."

Mrs. Liu put a piece on the rope and looked at her man, "Father, why don't you go back to the house first and wait for me later."

Ji Laoliu glanced at her, and clicked his tongue, "You woman, I don't have a strong back, I really know how to pick my time."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu stepped down, seeing the strange smile on Ji Laoliu's face, she felt ashamed, stepped forward and gave him a hammer, and said harshly, "What are you talking about, you old and unscrupulous person, I called you into the house to cup you!"

Ji Lao Liu chuckled, "Damn, it doesn't hurt."

Mrs. Liu got angry and wanted to snatch his pipe, but he hurriedly defended it, "I was wrong, I was wrong, please be quiet, or Chu Ge's wife will hear it."

After casting a glance at her man, Mrs. Liu went back to dry the clothes, "Sister Xiuniang doesn't listen to the wall, and he's still on the mountain now."

Ji Laoliu asked, "What? Are there still bamboo seedlings being dug up on the mountain?"

Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "That's right, she always said that she could sell it for money, but Chu Ge has gone to the town three times today, but no one wants her."

Ji Lao Liu smiled, "Hey, maybe someone will ask for it today."

Mrs. Liu snorted, "Don't make fun of me, no one wanted it the first two times, but someone wants it today?"

Ji Lao Liu said, "Oh, from the beginning, I didn't pay attention to the bamboo shoots. We don't (didn't) eat that kind of food here. Chu Ge borrowed us this morning..."

Mrs. Liu said, "That big bamboo basket is for Xiu Niang to use."

Ji Laoliu took a few puffs of cigarettes, thinking of something, he shook his head after a while and said.

"Hey, if you don't talk about it, you can eat nonsense, and you can't talk nonsense. Because of the money owed to Rener's old Zhao family, why did Chu Ge fall out with Rener? It's good now, let me People are shouting to clear the bill."

Mrs. Liu shook a small gown, "If you want me to say, it wasn't Aunt Zhao who forced her to do so. The sister Xiuniang said it well. Chu Ge is tired enough to settle the account, so I don't need to look at people's faces in the future. "

Ji Laoliu knocked on the cigarette stick, thought about it, and said, "When Chu Ge comes back later, if the bamboo seedlings haven't been sold, then we have to be more lenient. Don't worry about finding money, anyway. , you can’t call Xiuniang a demon, you have to talk about it.”

Mrs. Liu followed suit, and seeing Xiu Niang carrying a bamboo basket to dig earlier, she wanted to speak softly to her, "Hey, his father, he can smoke a lot."

*******************
Chu Ge came back in the middle of the day, and he bought two mountain things today, and went into the town to make a quick move. With the money, he bought two bags of rice, and a few wooden sticks that Xiu Niang had read early. The basin was bought according to the size of Mr. Liu's laundry tub.

Those two bags of rice belonged to himself and Ji Laoliu. Originally, Ji Laoliu only wanted him to bring half a bag, and when Chu Ge called him, he brought back the whole bag for him.

In fact, the two families lived next to each other, and it was common for them to use a cart to drive on the road. When they got back, they would bundle hay for the livestock, and there was no need to give them anything.

But Ji Laoliu is not in good health, he can't do much work in the field, and there are a few mouths waiting for food at home, so every time he goes to the town of Chuge, he will find Ji Laoliu, and the few days he joins in the town are not bad Take care, after returning to the village, all the money will be divided.

Of course, Ji Lao Liu also knows how to measure, and he said to take a small portion. Before Xiu Niang came, Chu Ge went to catch the mountain and was not at home, and Liu Shi also helped take care of Chu An Xiaoxiang'er and do housework or something.

The relationship between the two families is good, so they can talk about anything, Ji Laoliu looked at the bamboo shoots on the car, and just wanted to talk to Chu Ge, when Xiuniang came back, she took the bamboo basket Put it at home, and help to pick up things.

Looking at Xiuniang's clumsy appearance, Ji Laoliu reckoned that she came back with a basket of bamboo seedlings dug, so he followed along and said, "Sister, let's stop going up the mountain to dig bamboo seedlings, let's It's not uncommon to eat this thing here."

Holding the wooden basin, Xiu Niang looked at the bamboo shoots on the cart, and smiled, "Got it, Brother Six, then Chu Ge and I will go back first."

Chu Ge carried the sack of rice and left without saying a word, Xiu Niang also followed through the house, Mrs. Liu tied the ox rope in front, looked at the young couple and said, "Hey, his father, you said that Xiu Niang Does the girl really know, or is she pretending to be confused?"

Unexpectedly, Xiuniang would respond in this way, Ji Laoliu opened his mouth together, he thought a lot of words of persuasion, but now he doesn't need it.

Chu Ge put the bag of rice into the stove, came out and looked at Xiu Niang holding the basin, thinking about how to divide it, "Xiu Niang, that bamboo seedling..."

Xiu Niang put down the tub, looked back, "Oh, I forgot, Chu Ge, how are you doing this morning?"

Chu Ge shook his head, "Don't leave the last tavern in the town."

Xiu Niang said, "Then this family still says they don't recognize it?"

Chu Ge thought about it and said, "Well, because he lives in the town and has never been to the mountains, even if there are two families who know about it, they don't know what to eat."

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "Oh, it's good."

Chu Ge stared blankly, "Xiu Niang, you, do you know what I'm talking about?"

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge, "Well, you know, didn't I say it was pretty good."

Chu Ge was confused when he heard that, this Xiu Niang knew that no one wanted the bamboo shoots she dug, so she was still smiling, didn't she frowned when she saw that they hadn't been sold last night, but don't As the sixth brother said, this person is thinking about money and thinking about demons.

Xiu Niang happily hummed a little tune, thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in her heart, looking for rice to cook in the pot, and then picking up the hatchet that Chu Ge usually used when going up the mountain.

Chu Ge has been following Xiu Niang since just now, always thinking about what to say, seeing her take out a newly dug bamboo shoot from the basket, trying to cut off the roots on it.

He held Xiuniang's hand first, followed by the bamboo seedlings and the hatchet, glanced at Xiuniang, and waited with a muffled sound.

Xiu Niang looked at it and smiled, "Then you come, get rid of the stubble below, and pull out the hair shell when you're done."

Chu Ge walked around with the hatchet, and Xiu Niang really felt hurt when she looked at the idiot, and was afraid that she would pull her hand, so that her hard work of holding the bamboo shoots would not be in vain.

But if Xiuniang found out about Chu Ge, she was afraid that she would play around with the knife, so she didn't know what to think.
