farmhouse ditty

Chapter 5

The wooden door boards of the courtyard were drooping feebly, and the originally clean earthen yard was covered with dirt paths, which were even spilled from the stove. A small wooden stool was overturned by the wall, and there were several new knife marks on it. .

Passing by, there was a long bamboo pole across the yard, and a hatchet for scraping firewood was left beside it, and even the wooden broom basin leaning on the drying sieve rack was thrown on the ground, and the whole place was in a mess.

Xiu Niang blinked her eyes in a daze, it wasn't just time to stir-fry, why did she bring the yard into such a scourge.

She stared at it and bit her tongue. It's okay to talk about other things, but the long bamboo pole at the foot of the yard was cut off by her. At that moment, she was worried that the stove would not start, so she pierced through the knots in the bamboo. Thinking about being a blower.

Now that Xiu Niang wants to go back, isn't it because of a windy and rainy beam that Chu Ge used to support the hall.

"I said why are you in a hurry!"

There was such a sound from the entrance of the courtyard, Xiu Niang suddenly raised her eyes, and saw a yellow cow walking past with its head propped up, this was a bit scary, it shook its ears without much interest when it saw Xiu Niang, and then pulled it away A car full of people.

One of the elder sisters, Xiu Niang, recognized that it was Ji Lao Liu next door, the man of Mrs. Liu, who is a good man, and she was familiar with the two younger ones, but it was just that young man, she never thought it would be like this Meet.

He has a healthy wheat complexion, is tall, thin and handsome, not as rough as Xiu Niang thought, but only as strong as a farmer's man.

She was surprised, knowing that Chu Ge's character and appearance were not bad, why did the original owner feel dissatisfied from the bottom of his heart?

The people in the car were stupefied when they saw Xiu Niang, and when they saw the steaming side dishes and the ready-made bowls and chopsticks on the table in the main room, they roughly understood, Chu An snorted and got out of the car Landed with a small fragrance.

Xiaoxiang opened a pair of watery eyes, looking at this and that.

It was Ji Laoliu who said it first when he got here, he pointed at Chu Ge, "I said it, why are you in a hurry, it's not good to see your wife now."

Seeing that Chu Ge didn't seem to be listening, and only stared at Xiu Niang, Ji Lao Liu looked into the courtyard again, and couldn't help but joked: "Hehe, the skillful hands in the field in the pot are strong." , the new daughter-in-law went to the stove and made a fuss over the wall. I saw my new wife today, good guy, the smoke was chug at that moment, and I caught up with the fire, bah bah bah, old talker nonsense, no wonder the Chu Ge family what."

After saying this, Xiu Niang blushed, she didn't look at Chu Ge carefully, she just lowered her head in embarrassment, and hurriedly tidied up the yard.

Chu Ge also retracted his gaze embarrassingly, and said to the smiling Ji Lao Liu, "Sixth brother, stop joking, I will unload the things first, and then I will pick up some bellflowers for the old cow. I just drove him to run away." , but it consumes a lot of energy."

Ji Lao Liu stopped Chu Ge, and said angrily: "Chu Geer, you are a fool, this... your wife is working hard to make this meal, let's eat it first, and come back to get the things later."

He almost said, "This lazy lady is in a hurry to cook for you, so what are you doing?" He pouted and winked at Chu Ge, asking him to take advantage of the stall Auntie's temperament, as long as she follows herself, it's easy to say anything.

Chu Ge understood what he meant. Ji Lao Liu had been talking about his way of controlling his wife when he was in the town earlier. Teach some.

But Chu Ge didn't take it to heart, just like this, the sixth brother was kicked out by the sixth sister-in-law several times, and he still smoked a bag behind the sixth sister-in-law's back, and it was not about Xiuniang and himself It can be said in a few words, and there are quite a few outsiders who don't understand it.

What's more, he cheated with a stupid mouth and didn't know it, shaking his husband and so on.
Looking back at the little figure moving in the courtyard, the plain clothes were stained with soot, the cloth towel wrapped around the hair was looser, and the courtyard was messed up to make a meal, waiting to be found again. With a look of knowing his mistake, it really hurts a little bit.

Thinking about it, Chu Ge nodded without saying a word, thinking that he seemed to have listened to the words, Ji Lao Liu was satisfied, he patted Chu Ge on the back and hurried to let him in.

"Hehehe, that's it, you guys hurry up and eat, don't forget to come and pick up something later." After saying that, Ji Laoliu drove the ox cart over.

As soon as she was in the yard, Mrs. Liu heard her man's voice, and when she saw him, she called the girl in the family to come and help fetch things.

The four and a half girls put down their work and walked out of the yard, calling "Daddy" affectionately.

Ji Laoliu smiled and squinted his eyes, "Okay, be very obedient, just take the light ones, and untie the ones behind."

Mrs. Liu put the water on the stool, "Father, wash up first, and cook later."

"Hey," Ji Laoliu tied the ox rope to the post outside the door, and went into the yard to take a look, "Mother, where is Hei Wazi? I brought (buy) things for him."

Mrs. Liu took a piece of sackcloth, "That's fine, let's hurry up and play."

Ji Lao Liu shook his head, "Hey, this kid, it's better to be a girl, the father who came into the room called."

Mrs. Liu laughed and cursed, "What a fool, I'll just give Heiwazi something."

Ji Lao Liu chuckled twice, muttering that this boy was the only one, Liu gave birth to four daughters in a row, and finally got Hei baby, the whole family is precious, but fortunately, these two are incomparable to others Patriarchal, the family lives in harmony and beauty.

Ji Laoliu splashed his face with the water in the basin, "I'm so happy."

Mrs. Liu clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, looked out of her eyes, and whispered: "Father, why were you arguing outside just now? Could it be that Chu Ge's family is having trouble again?"

"You old woman, why am I making noise?" Ji Lao Liu wiped his face and shook his hands, "It's Chu Ge's family who cooks for me."

Mrs. Liu was taken aback when she heard this, and even forgot to hand the linen cloth in her hand to Ji Lao Liu, whose face was full of water, "What the hell, Chu Ge's family is cooking for me!"

Ji Laoliu smiled, "No, I'll just say it, it takes about ten days for the new wife to enter the new place of the young couple, and it's all up to the petty sex to please her, so let's go to the stove today, look at you Those women arranged people for them."

Seeing that Mrs. Liu still didn't turn the corner, and kept staring at the courtyard of Chuge's house, Ji Laoliu pulled out the sackcloth and said secretly, "Hey, don't tell me, when Ren'er Xiuniang is new to the stove, Movement, not younger than you were back then."

Liu Shi was taken aback, and shoved him shyly, "Old man, compare me with those lazy sisters."

The girls of Ji's family took light things into the house and put them in the house. Seeing their parents having fun, they laughed casually.

However, without laughing, Ji Lao Liu still said: "Her mother, looking at Ren'er Xiu Niang, she knows how to live a life, so go over and help take care of her later, huh?"

Mrs. Liu agreed after thinking about it. Chu Ge was also a hard-working child. He moved here from the good land of Shangyang Village, and dragged his younger siblings. mother.

And that's all, I hope Ren'er Xiuniang knows that Chu Ge is good.
