farmhouse ditty

Chapter 64
Chu An asked joyfully, "Really?"

Xiao Xiang'er also stood aside and looked at Xiu Niang, waiting for her to agree.

Xiu Niang picked up a chopsticks of pickled vegetables for herself, put them in the bowl, looked at them and smiled, "It's fake."

"Ah~~~"

"Ah~~~"

Xiu Niang slowly stirred the porridge, trying to cool off, "However, it's okay for you two to go, but you have to promise me something."

Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er heard that there was a sign, and their flat little faces immediately became happy, and they responded, their little heads seemed to be pounding garlic.

Chu Ge felt relieved to see the two brothers and sisters so happy, since the two of them came to Xiayang Village with him, these years, they haven't played well, they can only see the sky The family is holding back, but it's time to take the two of them out for a stroll.

Xiuniang secretly peeped at Yan'er Chuge, seeing that he didn't say anything, she thought that he had acquiesced, so she put down her chopsticks and chattered.

"Then you two listen carefully. First, when we get to the town, you two have to stay with me and your brother and don't run around. Second, you two have to be good kids and listen to what I say. We will leave whenever your brother says we will return to the village, or we will miss the job if we are late, and thirdly, we must keep our going to the town secret, and no one is allowed to say anything about it."

Based on the fact that the people in Xiayang Village are poor and there are many women who can spread the word, if they spread the word and say that the whole family will go to the town together tomorrow, the outsiders will not know what to say.

Xiuniang doesn't know what to say here, but there is one thing, she guesses that the mother-in-law will be talking about the money, talking about that if the Chu Ge family has no spare money, then they can bring the two little children to the place. Go to the town to play, and when the time comes, you will be staring at their house and how they got the money.

Xiao Xiang'er nodded when she heard this. Has she always been a good girl, "Well, I listen to everything my sister-in-law says. I don't even tell my sister-in-law if she doesn't call me, and I don't even tell my sister-in-law."

Chu An frowned, as if pondering something in his heart, then raised his face to look at Xiu Niang, and answered with determination.

Xiu Niang said to Chu An, "Especially you, An Zi, you can't talk to Hei Wazi..."

Chu Ge sat aside and listened, feeling that what Xiu Niang said was right, but at the end, "Xiu Niang, this An Zi and Hei Wa Zi get along well, so there's nothing wrong with talking to him..."

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge, saw that he was no longer stingy, and smiled, "It's Mo Han, but that black boy is very cunning, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of him then."

Chu Ge listened to it, and after thinking about it, he roughly understood it, and he also talked to Chu An, telling him not to spread it to the outside world.

In fact, Xiuniang just said that she was cunning, she chose the nice ones, but the fat black boy in Liu's family is very naughty, like a black loach, he will disappear after a while, But he couldn't stop.

I remember that the sixth sister-in-law took Hei Wazi to visit the house a while ago, and their mothers-in-law and aunts chattered in the room. The Hei Wazi looked at Mo Jin'er, and sneaked out in a blink of an eye, and called his companion to put it on. Went fishing in the creek.

At that time, Sixth Sister-in-Law was so anxious that she searched from house to house, and even took her and Chu Ge out to look for it, but later Hei Wazi came back by himself, and when it was over, he ran away again (called Liu Shi chased the whole village to fight)...

Besides, boys of this age are full of spirits, and the two of them are comparable. The black boy used to go to town with Chu Ge and Ji Lao Liu, and when he came back, he would boast to Chu An, saying that it was fun, How lively.

Fortunately, Chu An is sensible, knowing that he still has a younger sister to take care of, so he asked Chu Ge to take him too.

But this time he has a chance, can he not talk to Hei Wazi, if Hei Wazi listens to this and yells to go, then she won't be able to stand up to the three brats.

After all, it's someone else's child. If the child gets into trouble, you can't say or complain, but it's very difficult.

Besides, she and Mrs. Liu's family are neighbors, if Mrs. Liu asks her to play with Hei Wazi, you can decide whether she will agree or not.

So the best way is to not let that black child know from the beginning, so people don't worry about it.

Chu An looked sullen and a little uncomfortable, and Xiu Niang knew what he was thinking by looking at him, so she played sloppy eyes with him.

She smiled at the man, "Anzi, don't worry about it, you can talk to Heiwazi when you come back from the town tomorrow, and then you can bring some things and things to the town. Let's play together, isn't it good?"

Chu An thought for a while when he heard that, by the way, this black boy would not bring anything with him every time he came back from the town, making people wonder if he went to the town to play or not.

This time, he looked up at Xiuniang, saw the person smiling, and immediately understood that he was also an elf, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to town tomorrow to buy a kneader. Hei Wazi talked about how fun it was."

Xiu Niang agreed, and Chu An picked up the bowl and smiled, "Okay, I'll tell him when I get back."

Chu Ge looked at him and rubbed his head, suddenly remembered something, he put down the bowl, and asked, "Xiu Niang, just now you said you were going to town in two days, what's the matter?"

Seeing that Chu Ge's bowl was empty, Xiu Niang filled another bowl for him, "It's okay, isn't it the August Festival, I'm thinking about going to the town to buy everything I need , if it’s not until that day, that thing will not be expensive, and then..."

She said and shook the table, "We still have to look for the table, or move it to the courtyard to enjoy the moon."

Chu Ge heard the same thing, and he said again, "Then shall we still borrow the ox cart from Sixth Brother?"

Xiu Niang said, "Borrow, why don't we pay back the car?"

Chu Ge looked at her, thinking about it, "But, this time we are going as a family, and the sixth brother is going to ask, what do you say?" Don't you want to call Hei Wazi to know? Time……

Xiu Niang smiled, "What's the matter? To be honest, it's not something shameful for us to rush to the town. We'll just ask Xiao Xiang'er and Chu An to wait at the entrance of the village first."

Chu Ge paused, this must have been planned by Xiu Niang long ago, "Then let me go into the mountain later, so that I can find some mountain objects..."

Xiu Niang waved her hands, "No need, we are going to the town to go shopping in the market, you have to go shopping all over the street, but it's time-consuming, I'll finish it in a few days If you bring the Erbao vine with you, you don't need to visit this place."

After hearing this, Xiao Xiang'er murmured, "Sister-in-law, you just picked this Erbao vine, we haven't dried it yet, I'm afraid there won't be enough time in a few days."

**********************
Chu Ge drove an ox cart to the entrance of the village. Xiu Niang and Chu An Xiao Xiang'er were chatting in the shade of a tree, and when they saw him, they went up to meet him.

Chu An climbed into the car by himself, and lifted the two bamboo baskets on the board to one side, so that some of them could come out.

Xiu Niang supported Xiao Xiang'er from behind, and Chu An pulled her up, and the two of them sat on the back of the car with a smile on their faces, listening to what Xiu Niang said, each holding a bamboo basket.

Xiu Niang leaned over and sat next to Chu Ge, she asked, "Chu Ge, did you put the lock on when you came out, did the stove go out?"

Chu Ge was carrying the ox rope, "Don't worry, I sealed the stove earlier, watching Mo Guangliang Xingzi come out, I also locked the gate of the courtyard, even the door of the west room."

Xiu Niang looked at him and smiled, "Then let's go."

With a flick of Chugo's hand, the old cow stepped on its hoof with a "moo". It turned around and shook its ears, as if it was very dissatisfied that it had dragged so many people today.

Xiu Niang leaned closer to Chu Ge, and the two of them drove to the town as usual, but the two young ones were very happy today, after all, it was the first time for them to go to town, and that little Xianger Putting on a floral dress, she watched Tu Daozi walking backwards, chattering non-stop.

Chu An was very comfortable in the ox cart, and asked Chu Ge to drive the old ox to those pits so that he could sway more vigorously.

Chu Ge was holding on to the hemp rope and leading the old cow to walk, he said with a smile, "Can you two little devils be quieter?"

Xiu Niang also laughed, "Why don't you just go to the town, don't let anyone see the joke."

Xiao Xiang'er smiled and sat down, she hugged the basket and looked at the withered grass roots inside, just like the day lily, she said something and fiddled with it.

"Sister-in-law, it's only been a few days. These Erbao vines are very dry, even better than the ones that were put on the sieve to dry."

Xiu Niang turned around and looked at Xiao Xiang'er with a smile, "But it's baked on the stove, wouldn't it be good if the heat is evenly baked?" She smiled very comfortably, but she was nagging in her heart , This is the way she spent a lot of Erbaovine to think of, can it be good.

Based on the fact that Xiuniang tossed the Erbao vines earlier, she washed the picked vines, thinking that the sun would be stronger and rely on natural cooling. One piece, there are too many rotten and wilted ones.

Fortunately, a few days ago, she was anxious to get some more dry goods to take to Tairen Pharmacy, and racked her brains to find a way to dry them with a stove.

At the beginning, she first put the Erbao vine on a large round sieve, and spread it out with a handgrip. After that, she found something to support it, and put a stove under the sieve to bake it. She tried it a few times. The effect is not bad.

It's just that for the first time, Xiuniang couldn't hold the stove properly, so she could only keep it on the side and watch it. When she was busy with things, she had to come and watch often, and fiddled with the side to the middle to bake.

In the past few days, Xiuniang has been tossing and drying the Erbao vines, and she is storing two bamboo baskets full of them, so she can go down to the town to exchange some more money, so that she can buy some of the empty money jars at home. Erdier.

Xiuniang thought to herself, this time she went to Tairen Pharmacy, besides taking away the two baskets of Erbao vines, she also had to look for something from the shopkeeper...
