Chapter 85 Find a Job for Big Brother
Seeing that Xiu Niang didn't move, Shen glared, "Hurry up, what are you doing standing there, don't tell you that someone is here at home."

Xiuniang kept looking at the lotus. She was having a good chat with Wen Shi in the courtyard. After hearing what Shen Shi said, she said, "Grandma, what do you want to buy?"

Mrs. Shen frowned, and when she saw Mrs. Liu, she put on a mother-in-law's face with a tiger's face, and went back to the yard with a cruel sentence, "I said to buy a few catties of meat... If you don't go, you will be in the ring." The chicken in the pot is stewed, so I can figure it out myself!"

Xiuniang knew that Shen was putting on a show, so she didn't think too much about it, she just responded, "Is it just a guest when I come over, I should buy some meat as a treat."

She touched her waist casually. Fortunately, she still had some money, so she might as well go to Sister-in-law Dao's house to weigh a few catties.

Standing outside, Mrs. Liu also saw the lotus in the yard, so she was really well dressed, and she knew what the lotus was thinking. This woman has been thinking about Chu Ge for the past few years, otherwise she wouldn't be here every now and then. I came across the village.

Seeing that Xiu Niang was about to leave, she hurriedly stopped her, "Sister, what are you doing?"

Xiu Niang told the truth, "My mother-in-law wants me to buy some meat, I'm thinking about going to Mrs. Dao..."

Mrs. Liu said, "You just left?"

Xiu Niang thought about it and said "Oh", and smiled at Liu Shi, "I forgot the basket, I'd better put it home first before going."

Mrs. Liu murmured "tsk", dragged Xiuniang to the entrance of the courtyard, and pointed to it for her to watch. Although the lotus was chatting with Mrs. Shen, her almond eyes were always aimed at Chu Ge. I went forward.

"Oh, my silly girl, why don't you understand... Come on, take a look for yourself... You can go at ease like this."

Xiu Niang looked at it and smiled, said something and left, "Hey, Sixth Sister-in-law is fine, Chu Ge knows how to measure."

After listening to what she said, Mrs. Liu let out a lazy "um", and didn't go back to the house, just waiting at the door of her house.

Xiu Niang walked a few steps, but turned around and came back, murmuring to hand the bamboo basket to Mrs. Liu, and grabbed the few handfuls of lettuce by the way.

"Sister-in-law Six, you take this first, and I'll ask Chu Ge to take the drying sieve later."

Mrs. Liu took the basket and said with a smile, "Hey, I knew you were worried, you go about your business, I'll put these in my basket to dry."

The two chattered and parted, and Mrs. Liu shook her head towards Chu Ge, and went back to her own room.

Xiu Niang stretched out her hand to take off the square cloth scarf on her head, straightened the broken hair on her forehead, and went into her yard.

Chu Ge and Xiao Xianger Chu An were picking up branches at the door of the kitchen, while Lotus was standing by with a bowl of water, "Brother Chu, why don't you take a rest and drink the water before you go back to work?"

Xiu Niang saw that she was wearing a long white floral dress today, with a belt with red tassels around her waist, which set off her pretty face, it looked really good.

Mrs. Shen grabbed the melon seeds on the square wooden table and threw them into her mouth, chatting happily to Father Chu beside her.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for half a month. This lotus girl is so handsome. Look at that little face. It's so fair and juicy. No matter how you look at it, it's so crisp."

Xiu Niang laughed when she heard "Pu Chi", "Grandmother, if you say that like that, you'll become a big carrot."

Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er listened, looked back, and called "Sister-in-law".

Seeing Xiu Niang holding a pile of lettuce in her arms, Xiao Xiang'er brought a basket over to tell her to put the lettuce in it.

Chu Ge took the water stuffed by the lotus, watched Xiu Niang and walked over. Since Shen Shi was watching from behind, he just passed the water, "I'm back."

Although it's August now, after walking for a while under the sun, Xiuniang felt a little thirsty. She looked at Chu Ge and couldn't help smiling, took the bowl of water from him, and pursed her mouth Take a sip.

Originally, He Hua got angry when she heard Xiu Niang's first words, what is a big radish? Her red ear apron doesn't look like a big radish.

Besides, Chu Ge even brought her water to Xiu Niang, so how could she bear it, her little face immediately sank, and the eyes of those two Xing'er were about to burst into flames.

Shen Shi cleared her throat, and said to Xiu Niang in dissatisfaction, "How many people will serve you after picking some vegetables, it's so hypocritical... Didn't I tell you to buy meat, where is the meat?"

Xiu Niang said, taking the money bag from her waist and giving it to Chu Ge, "Oh, the mother-in-law didn't tell me, but the daughter-in-law forgot, Chu Ge, you can buy a few catties of meat from Mrs. Dao, and we will give it to the lotus at noon. My sister cooks two good dishes."

Shen didn't believe what Xiu Niang said, she only told her when she was outside, how could anyone forget it so quickly.

This time, when Xiu Niang called Chu Ge to buy meat, she glanced at He Hua and chattered.

"Hey, hey, why did you ask Chu Ge to go, this lotus girl finally came here...why don't you go!"

Xiu Niang waved her hand to let Chu Ge go first, then turned around and talked to Shen Shi, "Grandmother, it's the lotus girl who is here, so I want to chat with her. This Chu Ge is a big man, how do you know the relationship between women Talk to yourself."

Shen shi had nothing to say now, she just gave Xiu Niang a look, "That's right, hurry up and eat."

Xiu Niang responded with a smile, walked through the kitchen and chatted with Lotus, "Sister, I'm cooking today, you should eat more bowls."

Lotus also smiled at Xiuniang, but said nothing when it was over.

Xiuniang went to the kitchen to wash rice and eat, set up a fire to burn firewood, and left the rice washing water for a while to wash the dishes. When she was done, she poured the basket of lettuce that Xiao Xianger brought in just now into the wooden basin, and scooped out a few scoops of water to wash it. with.

Although she and Mrs. Liu had washed by the stream when she came back earlier, she couldn't hear the conversation in the courtyard at all when she was nestled in the kitchen, so she thought about taking it outside to listen openly.

"Hey, hehehe...Lotus girl, go back and tell your mother, it's my fault for thinking about her, I'll definitely go there when I'm free."

Chen patted Father Chu with a smile, he was smoking a pipe and looked at Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er in the yard, they were looking for an open space, and they were playing with the things they bought in the town earlier.

Father Chu bit his cigarette holder, and mumbled a few words in a foolish manner, "Well... go when the time comes, go when the time comes."

He Hua smiled and pushed a few oil paper bags on the wooden table towards Shen, "Auntie, these are the dry goods that Mrs. Wang just fried in the morning. I remember that Auntie loves her family's fragrant melon seeds, so I took them with me." Some are coming."

Shen looked at it from ear to ear, "Yo, you son, what are you doing with this money?"

The lotus leaned over to Shen's side, and said caringly, "I thought about it earlier, auntie, you returned to Xiayang Village so suddenly, it must be uncomfortable, I'll buy some auntie I love food, so I have a thought."

Xiu Niang pressed the vegetables into the water, scouring them casually a few times, muttering to herself, this little girl, the words are nice, didn’t Chu Ge’s family go out from Xiayang Village a few years ago, and now they come back. In less than two days, what has happened to me.

Shen frowned when she heard this, and sighed, "Oh, if you want me to say it, I don't want to go back to Xiayang Village, it's just about Chu Fu (Wen cleared his throat)... Forget it, let's not talk about it." Let’s stop talking.”

He Hua glanced at Wen Shi, and said, "Hey, Auntie, let's not talk about it after this incident is over. I'm here today because of Big Brother Chu's business."

When she said this, everyone in the yard looked at her except for the two children.

Shen's old face darkened, and she asked, "What's the matter? What's wrong with that bastard!"

He Hua smiled, "Auntie, it's okay, I just found a job for Big Brother Chu, and I came to ask him if he wants to do it."

Wen Shi was sitting in the yard basking in the sun just now, and was doing some needlework by the way. Now he listened, and said to the lotus, "Oh, this is a good thing, that lotus girl, tell me quickly, you give it to you." What kind of job did Big Brother Chu find?"

Shen Shi also echoed, "Yes, yes, girl, tell me quickly, your big brother Chu just went to fetch water, you should tell aunt first."

He Hua said, "Hey, auntie, sister-in-law, don't worry, actually I don't know this, but I heard from my father last time that the workshops in Aunt Zhao's house are still recruiting people, I don't think about it." Big brother Chu is off work, so I will talk too much and ask my father to tell Aunt Zhao and let her have a free time, so I can ask big brother Chu to come and have a look in two days."

Mrs. Shen was delighted when she heard that it was the work of the Zhao family. Then the Zhao family and the Guo family partnered to do business, and the lotus got along well with their family. Now Chu Fu is going to go to work, that is the dog skin plaster On the wall, steady.

Wen Shi was also thinking about this, she smiled, "Yo, that's kind, I'll thank my sister first, it's up to you to arrange it, sister-in-law don't worry."

Shen leaned forward and held the lotus hand, "Oh, good girl, thank you auntie, save for dinner today, auntie will kill chickens for you tonight."

After hearing this, Xiu Niang sneered, her mother-in-law was really unambiguous, she wanted to kill her chickens just talking about it, and her chickens were finally raised to be strong, and they were going to be kept for laying eggs.

She stood up and said to the lotus, "That's right, it's time to stay overnight."

Shen answered half of what she said, and looked back at Xiuniang with a dark face, "Oh, yes (wrong)..."

He Hua also changed her face when she heard this, and said to Father Chu and Mrs. Shen, she got up and walked outside the door, "Auntie, I will bring my words here, let Brother Chu go to the village in two days , I’m leaving now.”

Shen yelled, "Hey, girl, why don't you stay and eat before you go, this Chu Ge will be back..."

Father Chu coughed twice, biting his cigarette holder, "cough cough, from the second family, send it to me."

Xiu Niang answered, shook her hands and followed, "Understood, father-in-law."

The lotus came out of the yard, turned around and cast Xiu Niang a glance, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I'm really sorry for causing you to sow so much rice in vain."

Xiu Niang smiled, "Hey, it's okay, I didn't count you in at all, only our family."

He Huaben was still happy, her face darkened when she heard this, and she pursed her lips, "How do you know I won't stay for dinner!"

Xiu Niang said casually, "Why don't I know? Now that I'm here and Chugo is gone, you definitely don't have the heart to eat at our house. Why should I spend all that extra rice?"

He Hua looked at her and sneered, then left with a snort.

Xiu Niang sent the lotus away with a smile, and when she returned to the yard, she saw the big pot smoking white smoke, she pursed her lips, "Oh, for the leftovers, let's scramble some eggs tonight."
