farmhouse ditty

Chapter 41
Early the next day, Chu Ge was putting on the ropes for the cattle in the courtyard, while Xiu Niang took out the basket of eggs from the stove, covered them with a cloth, and put them on the car.

Because the basket was full and weighed a bit, Xiu Niang put more energy into it, but it's nothing, yesterday she found a few rags in the house, spread them in the basket, and put them on the bottom. Serve with thin-shell eggs.

Chu Ge put some platycodon stalks in front of the old cow, and fed some first, then he went into the yard and carried the big pheasant left over from yesterday to the car.

After that, he stood by the side and looked at the eyes. He put on all the bags that should be carried, and got all the soft cushions. Now this is the only person missing.

Chu Ge looked around in the yard, and saw that Xiu Niang was still messing around inside, he urged, "Xiuniang, are you ready?"

Xiu Niang responded first, her hands were still busy, she looked for an empty basket, went to the side of the drying sieve, and took the top basket with some dead grass roots in it, which looked like The day lily looks a little short.

Xiu Niang fiddled with her hands back and forth, and seeing that it was dry in the sun, she pulled it into the bamboo basket, which was loosely filled to the full, but it was lighter than the basket of eggs.

Not wanting Chu Ge to wait for a long time, she ran out with the basket in her hand, turned around and took the courtyard door so that it could not be locked.

Because Chu An and Xiao Xianger are still sleeping in the west room, if the lock is locked, the two little ghosts will not be able to leave the courtyard when they wake up. Anyway, before she and Chu Ge left the house, they yelled to let Chu An Lock the door in the shed.

Xiu Niang carried the bamboo basket into the car, and put one hand on the basket, so as not to bump all the dry things out on the road in a while.

Chu Ge sat next to her holding the ox rope, "Sit down, I'm driving."

Xiu Niang answered her voice and looked back, looking to see if the things on the car board had been put away, "Well, it's ok... hey, wait a minute."

She turned around and put the basket of day lilies behind her, took the cloth from the egg basket and put it on top, compacted the corners and sides, and carried the basket of eggs into her arms.

Although the son at the bottom of the basket is softened, but the wheels are turning so vigorously, and the egg will turn yellow when the two of them touch each other like this, so it's better to be protected by someone.

Knowing the weight of the basket, Chu Ge gave him a hand, "Are you ready?"

Xiu Niang put the basket on her lap, sat a little bit inside, put one hand through the bamboo straw and put it on the egg, and grabbed the handle of the car with the other hand, and smiled, "Well, it's good now, let's go .”

The old cow ate the platycodon stalks, licked his tongue and chewed it, so he heard the sound of "driving", and then walked away slowly.

Chu Ge led the old cow up the driveway, tightened the hemp rope with his hands and drove slowly. Because of the steep slope, Xiu Niang sat on the side and didn't make any noise, for fear of breaking up. Chugo's spiritual head.

After passing this road, they left the village and walked on the big dirt road. When Xiu Niang saw that she was done, she chattered, "Chu Ge, I'll be in town in a while, where are you going to take this basket of eggs?" ?”

If it's best to be on the front street, there are a few good drugstores by chance, so she can take the basket of dry things with her.

Chu Ge thought about it, "Well, this egg can be carried anywhere, but it's good to go to the back street, there are many grocery stores, but the pheasant is going to Chef Wang's."

Xiu Niang asked strangely, "Cook Wang? That's the cook Wang who asked for our bamboo shoots a while ago."

Chu Ge responded, "We ran into the town earlier, and he even ordered a mountain product with me for half a year."

Xiu Niang looked at the big brown pheasant behind her eyes, "But you have one today, is it a lot?"

Chu Ge said, "It's nothing, Cook Wang said, as long as he is caught, he will be sent there."

Xiu Niang thought about it, "That is, no matter how many you catch, no matter whether the mountains are good or bad, people will be there?"

Chu Ge smiled and said, "Well, I've sent it a few times first, and I asked about it too, but Chef Wang said that they have a regular customer, but they have money, so they are so rare that they eat mountain things, everything is good That's it."

Xiu Niang listened to Mo Yanyan, and accepted everything no matter it was good or bad. She didn't believe that Chef Wang was so free-spirited. By luck.

She felt it was weird, Ren'er is not picky and puts everything into the pot. If he doesn't do well, Ren'er will feel uncomfortable after eating, so why not ruin his own livelihood.

And that cook Wang, first bought five big baskets of bamboo seedlings from Chuge with a lot of money, and then the price dropped rapidly, because more people came into the town to pick up bamboo seedlings.

Although no one could have expected this kind of thing, but Chef Wang is not aggrieved in his heart, why doesn't he pick on Chu Ge's brute?
But in the final analysis, this is just Xiu Niang's own conjecture, and she guessed that the rich master of Ren'er is just like this, and she can't make a good judgment.

The two of them chattered and passed through Shangyang Village in a short time. Xiu Niang saw that there was a slope on the side of the road, but they entered the village.

She thought about it and said, "Chuge, I'll be back to the village in a while, you take me there—ah..."

She still couldn't finish the sentence, Chu Ge suddenly tightened the hemp rope, the old cow made a "moo", turned his head to the side, and swayed out of the car with him.

Xiu Niang was led to lean forward with her whole body, fortunately she didn't roll down by grabbing the handle of the car.

Seeing that, Chu Ge let go of his hand, and hurriedly supported her, "Xiu Niang, you, are you okay?"

Xiu Niang straightened up, shook the curly hair on her forehead, and hurriedly looked at the egg in front of her, and just heard a "click", don't let it break.

She squinted, frowned, looked at Chu Ge and said, with a little distress, "I'm fine, but I crushed a few of these big eggs, it's a pity."

Just as I was talking, the son said, "Hey, my mother has lived for most of her life, but today I ran into someone who stole money."

Xiu Niang looked over and saw a mule cart across the road, a middle-aged woman was pulling the rein and turned around, pointing at a farmer and making noise.

The farmer hurriedly said, "Oh, auntie, don't drag me, my mule is timid, don't scare it."

The woman waved her arms, "I, Mrs. Shen, have never seen it before, you little boy dare to pick my thorns!" She shook her hands as she said, pulling the donkey and howling, baring her teeth at her.

The farmer tugged at his coat angrily, "Auntie, why are you talking so much when the sky is bright and white? It was obviously the stove you brought that scalded my backside. Why don't you admit it."

Shen grabbed the rein and pointed at him, "You boy, his father, why don't you even fart."

The mule barked again, and an old man in his fifties ran out and slapped the mule, "You will answer!"

Pfft, Xiu Niang laughed, the old couple were very interesting, she was thinking of talking to Chu Ge, when he got out of the car and turned to them, "Father, mother."
