farmhouse ditty

Chapter 39 Almost...

Xiuniang washed the rice first, then washed the vegetables in the basin, drained them in a dustpan, and then took out the leaves of the vegetables floating in the water, and then poured them into the kitchen with the basin. In the outer groove, let the flow to the outside.

This groove was repaired when Aunt Zhao's family lived, and it leads to a piece of open space behind the house, which could have been used for farming, but it fell into disuse after a long time. Chu Ge had messed with it earlier , but nothing can be planted, otherwise it would save some troubles by irrigated in this way.

Waiting for some pot bottoms to be left, Xiu Niang dumped them under the cluster of dwarf trees by the fence. She took a look and saw that there were more flowers coming out of the twisted field in front of her, and she waited. You can take it off later.

Xiu Niang had a small calculation in her heart, and her hands were busy, pulling the chopped vegetable leaves that had just been fished out from the pile on the ground, pulling them together, holding them up and passing them over the edge of the fence, so that they could be fed to the family. Chicken.

Now that she was idle, she remembered what Mrs. Liu said before she left. She just told someone that Chu Ge's parents are getting old, and they are still trying their best to make a living selling tea eggs in the town. But do you want to talk to Chu Ge?

Based on the fact that Chu Ge left home, to put it bluntly, he was driven out, just because of her sister-in-law's troublesome words, thinking of this Xiuniang, he became angry. His parents lived with his elder brother. Whether it is good or bad has much to do with him, and this is what the old couple wished for themselves.

But logically speaking, leaving home does not separate the family, and when Chu Ge comes out, it is not necessary to separate the family, and since Chu Ge has been out for so many years, do they want to ask about this matter?

Alas, but now that Mrs. Chen (Xiuniang's mother) is not around, she doesn't quite understand it, and she can't help it if she wants to ask someone.

********************************
Chu Ge came down the mountain with a few fellow villagers, and after crossing the crossing they broke up chattering, Chu Ge looked at the two pheasants in his hand, his mouth curled up, he was lucky today, and caught two pheasants in a row It's just that I'm going to go to town tomorrow.

He was walking in the direction of the house, and suddenly saw white smoke rising from the front, but it was coming out of his own chimney. He was thinking that Xiu Niang could put the cooking at home now and wait to go back. He would be scooped up and scrubbed with water, and his small mouth was raised up to reveal two dimples, which was so good-looking. When he thought of it, he was satisfied, and there was someone in the family who was looking forward to him.

Chu Ge scratched the back of his head with a smile, quickened his pace, and ran into the yard after a while, looking around for Xiu Niang, who was standing on the edge of the fence, dumbfounded. He stood still with the stick in a daze, seeing that he was still holding the vegetable leaves in his hands, no wonder the domestic chickens in the pen were coming forward and screaming.

Chu Ge looked at the two pheasants tied together and put them on the ground. He only heard a few "clucks" and didn't want to call people's attention. He felt strange, walked over and put his hand on the On the small shoulders, but thinking about it was retracted again.

Chu Ge was afraid that Xiu Niang would be frightened if he put his hand down, so he thought about it and called out softly, "Xiu Niang?"

Xiu Niang's small body trembled, but she was startled a little, she hurriedly turned around, "Hey, Chu Ge, it's you."

Chu Ge responded, looked at the wide open courtyard door in silence, and then said to her, "Xiu Niang, what were you thinking about just now, you don't even know that someone has entered the courtyard?" .”

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge's way of speaking, and her delicate thoughts became clear as soon as she thought about it, she smiled, "I was just in a daze for a while, the sixth sister-in-law just went to the house, and I Just close the door, fortunately you are back, I will pay attention to the door next time, but don't be angry."

Chu Ge listened for a while, then blinked at Xiu Niang, thinking that everyone knows what he thinks, he just wanted to tell her to be careful, but he didn't want to get angry.

Besides, there was a smile on Ren'er's delicate little face, and she was so delicate that Ren'er couldn't be angry, and besides, he wouldn't be angry with her.

Seeing Chugomo talking, just looking at herself, Xiuniang smiled, "What's wrong, but I'm really angry..." Halfway through speaking, she suddenly watched Chugo stretch out his hand, and his fingertips slipped across My own cheeks were itchy when touched lightly.

Seeing this, Xiu Niang was thinking that something was going to happen, but nothing happened in her mind, so she could only watch with her eyes open, seeing Chu Ge getting closer to herself, while she The petite boy also jumped to his throat...

Chu Ge saw that there were some vegetable leaves on Xiu Niang's temple hair, and wanted to take them off for her. It looks like a lotus flower, with its big watery eyes open, and it's almost time to look at itself...

"Giggle..."

After a while the cock crowed and howled, the two standing in front of the fence paused for a moment, Chugo looked at the little woman in front of him, withdrew his hand, and said dumbly, "You have a little bit on your head. Vegetable leaf, I'll take it off for you, I, I'm going to wash my face."

Speaking of which, Xiu Niang also responded blankly, watching Chu Ge turn his back and leave, but came back after a few steps, and took off the vegetable leaves on his head with his hands, Holding it in front of her, he didn't know what to say, and then left again.

Seeing Chu Ge's red ears, Xiu Niang twisted her body and smiled, the lump was stupefied, but she was enlightened.

"Giggle..."

Xiu Niang paused, looking back at the fence, a big rooster flapped its wings and yelled at her. The old man with a long neck seemed to say, hey, don't bury the rooster. Whether or not to give it food, this man wants to starve to death of his whole family.

Seeing the big rooster stabbed at her, and the other six or seven roosters howling along with her, Xiuniang was chattering, and stretched out the fresh vegetable leaves in her hand into the fence, aiming at the head-scratching On the big rooster, the surrounding chickens shook their heads and rattled, but they were stunned.

But seeing the big rooster sticking out its neck in a "bass", little Mo looked at Xiuniang, as if he didn't like to talk to each other after all, with a few vegetable leaves on the bright red rooster's comb, he turned his body upside down step by step. As soon as he left, two of them followed, pecking at the vegetable leaves on his body.

Xiu Niang snorted, clapped her hands and turned around, but turned her eyes to Chu Ge, she twitched the corners of her mouth, finished, and let others see.

Chu Ge was now standing by the water tank, holding the side of the wooden basin with his hands, shaking his body with a smile, but he saw that this big man was still fighting with a chicken.

Xiu Niang pouted, and was thinking about going back to the kitchen, but she looked back at Chu Ge's arm being scratched with blood and said, "Chu Ge, what's wrong with your hand."

Chu Ge laughed in a muffled voice, and breathed out slowly after listening to Xiu Niang's words, "Don't worry, I walked a little too fast in the forest just now, and I got scratched."

Xiu Niang looked at it a while ago, but there were drops of blood oozing out. Fortunately, it was not hot, and if she was sweating, it would hurt her bones. She frowned, "Why are you so careless? I didn't Having said that, I asked you to go up the mountain with a long-sleeved one, why don’t you go up in a short jacket.”

Seeing Xiuniang's distressed look, Chu Ge felt warm in his heart, secretly thinking about what to say to her, "It's nothing, but it doesn't hurt, it's good that it hurts the arm, or else It’s a pity that I got a big cut when I put on my clothes.”

Xiu Niang was stunned for a moment, no matter how much she complained, she couldn't bear to say it, she was so stunned, it was really annoying and distressing.

Originally, Xiuniang didn't want to be rich, nor did she want to be rich and well-fed, but today, she wanted to change her mind for the person in front of her.
