farmhouse ditty

Chapter 91

Xiu Niang went to the stove and opened the rice bag to serve the rice. She put the stewed meat bought from the town into the pot, added more water and salt, and boiled some marinade, which was delicious when poured on the rice. Yes, the next day you can have some noodles, so you can have another meal in time.

Originally, these deli meats were expensive, and she would not have bought them if she hadn't thought that there were old and young at home.

After a while, Xiu Niang scrambled a few more eggs, and made a vegetable soup with the fresh vegetables picked from the field earlier, so that everyone who had meat, soup and vegetables would be able to work together.

Waiting for her to put all the food on the table, she shouted for everyone to come and have dinner, because there are few people today, Chu Ge didn't set up a table, and everyone happened to sit on one side.

Earlier, when Wen saw that the meal was almost ready, she said that she was not feeling well, and asked Chu Fu to bring the meal into the house for a while.

Xiuniang divided Chu Fu's and Wen's meals in the kitchen, and put them together in a small basket, so that Chu Fu could carry them into the main room to eat with Wen's.

In fact, she also has her own reasons for doing so. You say that the whole family is sitting and eating, and they are eating well. If Wen's sudden appearance (sickness), then no one can bear it.

Chu Fu looked at the two bowls of rice and a bowl of meat and vegetables that came out alone, and said to Xiu Niang with some embarrassment, "Well, brother and sister, thank you."

Father Chu stared at Chu Fu with a sullen face, "Boss, your daughter-in-law has been feeding her stomach for several months, why are you still eating alone, Gaier will call her out tomorrow, and the big guys will eat together."

Chu Fu just responded, picked up the basket and went into the back room, "Hey, Dad, Juan'er still feels a little uncomfortable after talking, I'll call her out after a while."

Shen frowned, and glanced at the room there, why didn't the woman go back to the room just now because she was not feeling well, she had to wait until after dinner before running away, wasn't she just trying to be lazy and not work.

She was thinking like this, but she said, "Just now, everyone in the family has a share, but she doesn't. It's no wonder she feels comfortable. What do you think this person is doing?"

Xiuniang knew that Shen was talking about her, earlier she bought clothes for everyone in the family, except Dafang didn't have any. Although Shen didn't like Wen, she didn't think she would miss any chance to bury herself. .

But she just went in from one ear to the other and went out from the right, pretending she didn't hear it. She bought clothes for the old and the young in the family. If you want her to buy clothes for Wen, I'm sorry, she's not well enough yet. That's it.

Father Chu picked up the bowl first, and shook his arms around the table, "Hey, sit down, sit down...Anzi, sit next to Xiang'er, and the second child's family, don't be too busy, sit down and eat."

Seeing Xiu Niang's tepid look, Shen grinned and sat down beside Father Chu.

The corners of Xiu Niang's mouth turned slightly, she nodded to Chu Ge, indicating that she was fine, and the two of them also sat down...

Waiting for the meal to be halfway through, Shen took a bite of the rice, glanced at Xiu Niang, picked up a chopstick of eggs and put them in Chu Ge's bowl, "Second boy, eat more, you look skinny, you eat it these days What's the matter, how can I work if I don't have the strength."

Seeing the eggs in the bowl, Chu Ge looked at Shen Shi and murmured, "Mm, I got it..."

Xiuniang knew that Shen Shi was looking at her, so she didn't raise her eyes, and she picked up a piece of meat for Xiao Xiang'er when she passed her hand. Shen Shi said this just to take the opportunity to bury her, saying that her cooking was not good and the food was bad, which made Chu Ge I'm hungry and skinny, what's the matter...

She just thought about it, and Shen said something later, "Chuge, tomorrow you will go to Shangyang Village with your elder brother to work."

Chu Ge listened for a while, looked at Xiu Niang, and said to Shen, "Mother, why suddenly..."

Shen took two pieces of stewed pork and put them in the bowls of himself and Father Chu, ate a mouthful of rice and said, "Your Uncle Guo's workshop is currently short of manpower, so you and your brother will go there tomorrow."

Xiu Niang took a bite of food and ate it into her mouth, Uncle Guo?Could it be that he is the village head Guo of Shangyang Village, the father of Sister Hehua?

Chu Ge frowned, and still glanced at Xiu Niang, "Mother, I won't go, you can ask elder brother to go."

What are you going to do if you don't go to the next thing, Shen originally wanted to say this, but the words changed as soon as she spoke, and she kept talking with a smile on her face.

"You stupid boy, your Uncle Guo has been optimistic about you since you were a child... Brothers, you are going now, hurry up and get a foreman, you can easily get one or two taels of silver in a month, you Where can I find such a relaxed job now, my mother, I will go to Shangyang Village with your eldest brother tomorrow..."

"Touch", Xiu Niang put the bowl heavily on the table, "No way!"

Shen was startled suddenly, "You little woman, you want to scare me to death."

Xiu Niang ignored her, but told Chu Ge to go back to the house first, she had something to discuss with him.

Chu Ge didn't want to join in at first, so he pulled the rice in the bowl into his mouth, mumbled and left.

Shen called Chu Ge a few words, saw him go straight to the inner room, angrily slapped the chopsticks on the table, and yelled at Xiu Niang.

"Second boy, second boy... Oops, you little woman, I just said that I want second boy to go to see the worker, and you just sent him away, what do you mean!"

Xiu Niang said coolly, "What do you mean? I don't want to ask Chu Ge to go, that's all I mean, I dare you, it's not your man who makes people think about it."

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth, packed up her own and Chu Ge's dishes and put them in the stove, and went back to the house when she got out, and slammed the door shut.

After hearing Xiu Niang's last sentence, Father Chu was not annoyed, but just looked at Mrs. Shen with a "puchi" smile.

Shen turned her head and stared at Father Chu, the two of them have been an old couple for many years, of course she knew why he smiled, "Why are you so embarrassed, you old talker, you think (make people worry about) uh. "

Father Chu chuckled, "I don't care if I think about it or not, the most important thing is that your extravagant thoughts will be seen by the second family, which is so funny."

Shen stared and scolded Father Chu, and then stared sideways at Xiuniang's back room. Anyway, she must ask the second boy and the boss to go to Guo's house to work...

Xiu Niang went back to the back room and saw Chu Ge move away the big wooden box by the corner, she turned around and closed the door hastily, there was a piggy bank under her box, she couldn't tell anyone to look at it this time go.

She took the peg and asked, "Chugo, what are you doing?"

Chu Ge put the oil lamp on the bed on the ground, "Xiu Niang, you called me into the room just now, didn't you want me to move the box?"

Xiu Niang was taken aback when she heard this, and after thinking about it, she realized that she still had the money from selling the Erbao Vine in the morning, so she should put it away now.

She walked over and took a look at Chugo. She just said that this fool came in for this purpose, but let's save the money first.

Xiu Niang took out the purse at her waist, she spent a tael of silver on the clothes she bought at noon, and now there are only 16 taels left, she weighed the bag, heard the sound of the silver colliding with the silver, and smiled unconsciously Smiling, he stuffed the mouth of the bag into the jar, lifted the bottom and shook the floor, and poured all the 16 taels of silver into the jar.

She clutched the money bag, covered the jar with a red cloth lid, and then picked up the oil lamp and stood aside. Chugo watched as he came, and moved the big wooden box back to its original position with both hands.

Chu Ge clapped his hands and turned around, and suddenly saw Xiu Niang standing aside holding an oil lamp, looking at him with watery eyes.

After waiting for a while, Xiuniang didn't speak. Chu Ge saw that she was holding the oil lamp a little tilted, and the lamp oil was about to spill out, so he moved forward to take the oil lamp in her hand, thinking not to burn his wife. son's hand.

He put the oil lamp on the wooden box and said, "Xiu Niang, I won't go to work with elder brother, no matter what mother says, I won't."

After hearing this, Xiuniang smiled at him. Although the two of them have only been together for three months, there are some things that Xiuniang has to say, and sometimes Xiuniang doesn't need to say anything at all. Chu Ge can understand who she is just by looking at her. mean.

For this, Xiuniang is very satisfied, it at least makes her feel like an old married couple with Chugo, although she didn't do anything she should do...cough cough, but it doesn't mean that she earns money Is it so many years?

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang and smiled, she looked so delicate against the lights, so pretty, no wonder Sixth Brother always said, "Young wife is pretty, closed the door and looked at Jiao Jiao."

He suddenly lowered his voice, with a hint of pampering, "Xiu Niang, if you feel tired, take a rest. I'll go out and put away the bowl, and I'll bring you some water later."

Seeing that Chu Ge was about to leave after finishing speaking, Xiu Niang said first, "Chu Ge, wait..."

Chu Ge heard the sound and looked back, "What's wrong with Xiu Niang, is there anything else?"

Xiu Niang thought for a while, in fact, there are some things, the sooner the better, the better. If Chu Ge doesn't make a statement or something, with Shen's temperament, things like today will happen from time to time.

She turned around and sat on the bed, reached out and patted the seat beside her, signaling Chugo to come and sit.

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang strangely, but he still walked over and sat on the edge of the wooden bed.

Xiu Niang looked at him, thinking about it, "Chu Ge, do you know why my mother-in-law insisted that you and elder brother go to work together? And you still go, go to Guo's house..."

Since she figured it out as soon as she heard it earlier, it was the lotus that was causing trouble, so she believed that Chu Ge must have figured it out. After all, her man is not really a fool.

Sure enough, Chu Ge's face changed, it can be said that he was a little embarrassed, she thought that Chu Ge certainly knew what the lotus meant to him, otherwise he wouldn't have heard that he was going to work at Guo's house, and didn't even ask. When asked, Shen declined.

He looked at Xiu Niang, and said in a panic, "Xiu Niang, actually, me, Miss Lotus... We grew up together... Actually, I only think of her as my sister."

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge like that, nodded with a smile, and held his hand, "I know this, and I didn't say anything... It's just that I am the only one who knows. There are mothers-in-law and they should also know..."

Chu Ge listened for a while, pondered for a long time, and finally only choked out a sentence, "I, I know..."

Xiu Niang just smiled this time, come on, let it be like this, this fool has said that she knows, so she should stop talking about it.

She told Chu Ge to rest, got up and went out to clean up the dishes...
