Chapter 33 Chugo's Thoughts

(The first eighteen chapters of Tomato have been revised, if you are interested, you can go back and have a look. o(≧v≦)o~)

Xiao Xiang'er went in with a bamboo seedling, and half of the basket was finished. She was small and weak, so Xiu Niang had told her to dig the half of the basket earlier.

She held on to the bamboo basket, turned around and leaned against her back, put her small arms through the cloth straps, and went around to grab them. She straightened her waist and got up on her back, running towards the Xiu Niang went over there.

Xiao Xiang'er looked around while walking, and saw that many mothers-in-law and aunts were digging and celebrating, and all of them were big and strong. She thought, didn't sister-in-law say that the big old Chai (not tender), Why, my aunt and aunt are all digging the big ones, looking at the baskets full of them, there are not many of them together.

Xiuniang's digging was almost done here, she stopped as soon as Xiao Xiang'er came over, seeing that many old ladies were still busy, Xiuniang passed by, knowing the number in her heart, and said with a smile I took Xiao Xiang'er to the other side of the creek to wash, and then went home.

After entering the courtyard, Xiuniang saw Chu Ge standing in front, with two bundles of branches and firewood beside him. He was twisting his body and pulling his clothes from the back to look for them. I guess it was scratched by the pointed tree fork.

Xiu Niang looked at her, and helped take out Xiao Xiang'er's half basket of bamboo shoots, and quietly told her to go back to the house to get the sewing basket, so that she could mend Chu Ge.

Xiao Xiang'er obeyed obediently, ran towards the west room, and called out to Chu Ge, "Brother."

Seeing the younger sister answer, Chu Ge followed and looked towards the entrance of the courtyard, and when he looked at Xiu Niang, he stopped talking.

Xiu Niang looked at it with a smile, squatted down and put down the bamboo basket, and walked up to him, "Give me the clothes."

Chu Ge didn't understand, "Xiu, Xiu Niang, what are you going to do?"

Xiu Niang looked at him, laughing, this sounded wrong, she raised her eyebrows, "What are you thinking about what I'm going to do?"

Chu Ge blinked blankly, then looked at the clothes on his body, turned his back embarrassingly, and moved to take off the jacket.

Xiu Niang took the hand, seeing that the man's back was covered with sweat, she rolled up the jacket and put one hand on his shoulder, obviously feeling the lean body in front of her shake.

She pinched it slightly, "Don't move, I'll wipe your sweat for you. If the wind blows up later, don't catch a cold."

Seeing that Chu Ge was silent, and his back was tense, Xiu Niang smiled to herself, and pretended not to know, wiped his back, from neck to waist, wiped it one by one, slowly, and waited. When she wiped it on his arm, her hand was suddenly held, "I'll wipe the rest by myself."

Xiuniang thought that this idiot might be stingy again, so she let go and let him go, or let him wipe off the rest by himself.

Chu Ge took the short jacket, peeped at Yaner Xiuniang, and watched Rener waiting on the side. He first breathed a sigh of relief, and then wiped the sweat from his brow.

Since his short gown is made of hemp thread, it felt very prickly when he put it on. Just now, Xiuniang wiped his sweat with this gown, and the strength of her hands made it very comfortable (comfortable), but It's going to kill you, the hemp gown is stabbing his itchy flesh, scratching and pulling the numbness, just like someone scratching the soles of your feet.

After a while, Xiao Xiang'er took out the sewing basket, and Xiu Niang moved a small wooden stool and sat by the wall, avoiding the sun, and then put the basket on her lap, and passed the embroidery needle to lead the thread to be longer , looking for the scratched place on the jacket and sewing.

Just as Chu Ge was thinking about picking up firewood, seeing himself naked, he went back to the Westinghouse. He just wiped off his sweat and changed his clothes to make him feel dry. He moved two bundles of dry branches to the kitchen. On the side, put them back together so they don't get in the way.

After that, he walked to the edge of the water tank, scooped up a ladle of water to drink to quench his thirst, and looked back to see Xiu Niang, who was sitting beside him sewing a gown, and saw her wearing plain cotton clothes, Wearing a small lady's bun, her face is fair and tender, and the corners of her small mouth are always turned up, making people feel comfortable just looking at her.

Chu Ge carefully looked at Xiu Niang's bun, and said it was strange, the two of them were together, he didn't know when they should put it up.

He still remembered that people were reluctant to come to Xiayang Village with him earlier, but he couldn't help Mr. Chen and started on the road. When he got home, he was still arguing for a long time, ignoring everything and doing housework. It's dry, the long black hair is loose and untied.

He knew that Xiuniang was not close to him, and because Father Chen was kind to him, he couldn't say anything to the impoverished family, so he followed her, but now...Chu Ge Staring blankly at Xiuniang, looking at the appearance of people embroidering needles, she really looks like a little daughter-in-law.

Xiu Niang sews the last stitch, pulls the thread, puts it in her mouth and bites it off. She looks up at Chu Ge, saying it is funny, one is sitting by the wall, the other is standing in front of the water tank, the two of them just stare at each other.

After a while, Xiu Niang blinked, "What's wrong, is there something on my face?"

After hearing this, Chu Ge regained his composure, and said slyly, "No (no), what." He quickly scooped out water from the water tank and put it in his mouth, completely forgetting that he had already drank two scoops before. , Just thinking about it in his heart, Ren'er came over, this sentence daughter-in-law...

Xiu Niang gave Chu Ge a strange look, wiped off the gown, and looked at it. Although the stitches were not good, it was at least sewn together. She smiled, and then suddenly remembered something, "Hey, Chu Ge."

"Pfft, cough, cough..."

Xiu Niang's cry was sudden, but Chu Ge was choking, she hurried over to help stroke his back Shun Shun, "Why are you choking, are you okay?"

Chu Ge covered his mouth, coughed a few times, and shook his head, "Okay, okay, what are you calling me?"

Xiu Niang patted him on the back vigorously, and said, "I just wanted to ask you, you went to town yesterday, and Chef Wang wanted some more baskets."

Chu Ge thought about it, "He actually called me to bring three baskets next time, but I didn't answer."

Xiu Niang asked, "Why shouldn't you go down?"

Chu Ge said, "First of all, didn't you say that there are too many people digging bamboo seedlings in the mountains? I thought that if I agreed, I wouldn't be able to find them again after another day, but it would not be very good. Next..."

Xiu Niang made sense after hearing this, and thought that it was right for Ren Er to do so, not to do things that were not sure, and not to fight battles that were not sure.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang, but in fact he still kept a sentence in his heart, "Furthermore, I'm afraid you will be tired." '

Xiu Niang said again, "Chuge, did you tell Cook Wang when you will come over?"

Chu Ge said, "Mo (no), when we go here depends on whether we can dig. I didn't tell him exactly."

Xiu Niang thought about it, then smiled casually, "Chu Ge, how about we wait a few days before going to town." Chu Ge froze, pointing at her and himself, "We?"

Xiu Niang smiled and nodded, that's all right, seeing that the bamboo shoots won't be born in a few days, she might as well take advantage of this time to ask for more cash from Chef Wang.
